4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a user terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The user terminal refers to both the transmitting terminal 100 and the receiving terminal 200, the transmitting and receiving unit 410, message editing unit 420, input unit 440, output unit 450, and pictogram storage unit 430 It includes.

The transmitter / receiver 410 decodes data input through a wired or wireless internet network, outputs the message to the message editor 420, and transmits the edited pictogram message to a user terminal through a wired or wireless internet network. .

The input unit 440 receives various setting values and texts from the user and outputs them to the message editing unit 420, and the output unit 450 outputs the glyph message or the received glyph message edited by the message editing unit 420 to the user. Display.

The pictogram storage unit 430 stores pictograms necessary for creating a pictogram message and displaying a received pictogram message in the same structure as the pictogram DB 370 of the pictogram message server 300.

The message editing unit 420 reads the glyph selected by the user from the glyph storage unit 430 and inserts it into the message, inserts the text received from the input unit 440 into the message, and completes the glyph message after completing the glyph message. Is transmitted through the transmission and reception unit 410, the unique code included in the received glyph message is read by the glyph storage unit 430, converted into a corresponding glyph, and displayed to the user through the output unit 450. do.

A first embodiment of the present invention to be described below describes a method of using a pictogram message service when a pictogram browser is installed in the user terminal to create and display a pictogram message according to the present invention. When the pictographic browser is not installed in the receiving terminal 200, a method of using the pictographic message service of the present invention will be described.

The pictogram message server 300 stores basic pictograms necessary for creating a pictogram message, and registers and stores a picture or animation requested by a user as a pictogram. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of registering a picture or animation received from a user terminal as a glyph at the request of a user in the glyph message service method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the user terminal accesses the pictogram message server 300 through a wired or wireless internet to display access information (including member information such as an ID, a password, a terminal unique number, and a mobile phone number). Transmitting to the message server 300 (S502), the pictogram message server 300 authenticates a user (user terminal) using the access information (S504).

The authenticated user terminal registers a picture or animation required for creating a pictogram message as a pictogram, that is, generates a pictogram of a predetermined size and requests that a unique code be assigned to each of the pictograms. The animation is transmitted to the pictogram message server 300 (S506).

The controller 340 of the pictogram message server 300 checks whether the picture inputted through the transceiver 310 is a single still image or an animation composed of a series of image frames. In the case of a still image, the received picture is output to the glyph registration unit 350, and in the case of an animation, the received animation is output to the animation registration unit 360 (S508).

The pictogram registration unit 350 divides the input picture into blocks having a predetermined size, and assigns a unique code to each block to generate a pictogram (S510). However, in this case, if the size of the picture received from the user terminal is too large or too small, the glyph registration unit 350 may perform a process of adjusting the received picture to a size suitable for insertion into the glyph message. Of course.

The pictogram registration unit 350 outputs and registers each pictogram to the pictogram DB 370 so that each generated pictogram can be used independently in creating a combination pictogram message (S512).

Thereafter, the pictogram registration unit 350 assigns the combined picture unique code to the original picture received from the user terminal, stores the association picture unique code in association with the divided pictures in the original picture, and updates the combined picture list. Register the combination picture (S514). By registering the combination picture in this way, the user can select the combination picture to download the glyphs included in the combination picture in a batch or insert it into the picture text message.

The control unit 340 receives the registered character and each unique code, and the unique code of the combined picture associated with them from the graphic character registration unit 350, and transmits to the user terminal through the transmission and reception unit 310 ( In operation S540, the user terminal registers the received information in its pictogram storage unit 430 in association with each other (S550).

Meanwhile, the animation registration unit 360 selects one of a series of frame images constituting the registration request animation input from the control unit 340 as a base image (S520), divides the base image into blocks of a predetermined size, and divides it. A unique code is assigned to each block thus generated to generate a pictogram (S522). In this case, the basic image is most preferably the first frame image constituting the animation, and may be selected according to a preset value or an administrator's selection.

The animation register 360 divides the frame images constituting the animation other than the base image in the same manner as the base image, and compares the picture blocks of each frame image with corresponding glyphs of the base image (S524).

As a result of the comparison, the picture characters of the base image and the other picture blocks, that is, the picture block representing the changed picture in comparison with the picture letters of the base image, are assigned with a unique code as a registered picture (S526).

Thereafter, the animation register 360 registers each of the glyph DBs 370 so that the glyphs and the change glyphs of the base image can be used independently to create a combination glyph message, and the base image is used as the combination picture. As in step S514, a combination picture unique code is assigned to the base image, stored in association with unique codes of pictograms divided in the base image, and the combination picture list is updated to register as a combination picture (S528). ).

In addition, the animation registration unit 360 assigns an animation unique code so that the animation received from the user terminal can be used to create a pictogram message, and registers as one animation information in association with the pictographs and change characters of the basic image. (S530).

The control unit 340 transmits the registered animation pictograms, the changed pictograms, their unique codes, and their animation information to the user terminal requesting animation registration (S540), and the user terminal receives the received pictograms. The information is stored in the pictogram storage unit 430 in association with each other (S550).

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the animation registration process may further include adjusting the size of the animation image to a size suitable for creating a glyph message as in step S510 described above.

In addition, in the case where the user terminal is connected to the pictogram message server 300 via the Internet and the pictogram message is created on the web, the combined pictogram information and the animated picture registered in the pictogram message server 300 are performed. The text information is stored only in the pictogram DB 370 assigned to the corresponding user, and may not be transmitted to the user terminal.

On the other hand, the process of registering a picture or animation by the administrator of the pictogram message server 300 is the above-described step S510 to S514 and S520 to S530 except that the picture or animation is transmitted from the user terminal Same as step.

6A and 6B illustrate an example of registering an animation as a glyph by performing the above-described steps S520 to S530. FIG. 6A illustrates an animation to be requested by a user or to be registered by an administrator of the pictogram message server 300. The animation to be registered includes four frame images as shown.

The first frame image is selected as the base image among the images shown in FIG. 6A, and is divided into 3 * 3 block units as shown in FIG. 6B to generate pictograms 1 to 9 of the base image. Then, after the second to fourth frame images are divided equally with the first image, each picture block is compared with the corresponding blocks of the first image, so that different picture blocks, that is, change picture blocks 10- 12) is determined. In this case, in order to transmit all the frame images according to the conventional method and express the animation shown in FIG. 6A, the data amount corresponding to a total of 36 pictograms is required. It can be seen that the animation shown in FIG. 6A can be expressed only by the amount of data.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a process of creating a pictogram message in a transmitting terminal 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Although not shown in FIG. 7, the transmitting terminal 100 accesses the pictogram message server 300 to download basic pictograms, or performs the process illustrated in FIG. 5 to store the pictograms of the transmitting terminal 100. It should be noted that the unit 430 has already stored a pictogram and a unique code corresponding to the pictogram.

Referring to FIG. 7, when a user drives a pictogram browser or a virtual machine to create a pictographic message using the transmitting terminal 100, the transmitting terminal 100 sends a text message to the user through the output unit 450. Display the type of, and receives selection information on the type of text message to be written from the user (S700). In this case, the type of text message displayed to the user may be configured in various ways, and FIG. 7 exemplarily illustrates a case of creating a combination pictogram message and an animated pictogram message for convenience of description.

The message editing unit 420 of the transmitting terminal 100 examines user selection information (S702).

When the selection information indicates a combination pictogram message, a plurality of items corresponding to the combination pictogram message are displayed to the user. When the user selects one of the plurality of items, the pictograms included in each item are output. It is displayed to the user through (S710).

When the message editing unit 420 receives a selection signal for a glyph from the user, the message editing unit 420 inserts the selected glyph into the message input window (S712), and when the insertion of the glyph is completed, the text is input from the user through the input unit 440. Received and inserted into the message input window (S730).

Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of creating a glyph message when " male avatar " is selected as the combination glyph (see Fig. 8 (a)). Referring to FIG. 8, when a user selects a face among male avatars, a plurality of pictograms representing a face are displayed to the user through the output unit 450 (refer to (b) of FIG. 8). One of the characters is selected and inserted into the message input window (see (c) of FIG. 8).

In the same manner as above, the user selects a top (see (d) and (e) of FIG. 8) and a bottom (see (f) and (g) of FIG. 8) to insert one person's avatar into the message. .

Thereafter, the message editing unit 420 receives text from the user through the input unit 440 and inputs a text message into the remaining portion of the message input window, thereby completing the pictogram message (S, see (h) of FIG. 8). ).

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another example of creating a combination pictogram message, which describes a process of simultaneously inserting glyphs constituting the combination picture by selecting a combination picture. That is, when the first picture is registered as a glyph, the glyphs divided and registered from the same picture are stored in association with the combination picture unique code and inserted into the message input window at the time of message creation. .

When the user selects a combination pictogram message creation item (see FIG. 9A), the message editing unit 420 displays a list of the combination pictures stored in the pictogram storage unit 430 to the user (FIG. 9B). ), The glyphs stored in association with the combination picture selected by the user are sequentially read from the glyph storage unit 430 and inserted into the message input window (see (c) of FIG. 9). Thereafter, the message editing unit 420 inserts the text input from the user through the input unit 440 into the remaining portion of the message input window to complete the preparation of the pictogram message (see FIG. 9D).

Referring back to FIG. 7, when the message editing unit 420 completes the pictogram message,

Scans the message input window in block units to generate a pictogram message including glyphs and text, and reads a unique code corresponding to each glyph included in the message from the glyph storage unit 430, and then scans the sequence. To generate a series of pictographic message data string including the unique code and text of the pictogram, and outputs to the transmission and reception unit 410 to transmit the pictogram message to the telephone number input from the user (S732).

The transceiver 410 transmits a series of pictogram message data to the receiving terminal 200 through a predetermined wired or wireless Internet network (S734).

On the other hand, when the selection information input by the user in the above-described step S702 indicates an animated glyph message, the message editing unit 420 reads the animation list stored in the glyph storage unit 430 to output the output unit 450. Display to the user through (S720).

When the message editing unit 420 receives a selection signal for selecting one of the animation lists from the user, the message editing unit 420 reads the glyphs of the basic image constituting the animation from the glyph storage unit 430 and inserts them into the glyph message input window ( S722).

Thereafter, the message editing unit 420 receives the animation setting information from the user through the input unit 440 (S724), and inserts the text input by the user into the remaining portion of the message input window (S730). . In this case, the animation setting information includes time difference information indicating a time at which the glyph at the position where the animation effect appears and the change glyph replacing the glyph are displayed to the user.

The message editing unit 420 scans the message input window in blocks for the completed pictogram message, generates a pictogram message string including pictograms and text, and corresponds to the pictograms included in the pictogram message column. After converting the unique code into a unique code to generate a pictographic data column, immediately after the unique code of the pictogram at the position where the animation effect appears in the pictographic message data column, the pictogram data column is inserted by inserting a corresponding unique code into the changed pictogram. To complete. At this time, the animation setting information is inserted immediately after the unique code of the changed glyph or at the end of the glyph message data column (S732).

The transmitter / receiver 410 transmits the pictogram message data string received from the message editor 420 to the receiver terminal 200 through a predetermined communication network (S734).

FIG. 10 is a diagram for describing a process of creating a pictogram message including an animation shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B by performing the above-described steps S720 to S734.

Referring to FIG. 10, when the user selects an animation pictogram message creation in operation S702 (see FIG. 10 (a)), the message editing unit 420 outputs an animation list to the user to receive a user selection signal. (See FIG. 10 (b)), the glyphs constituting the selected animation are read by the glyph storage unit 430 and displayed to the user, and the animation setting information is received (see FIG. 10 (c)). In this case, the input animation setting information, as shown in (c) of FIG. 10, in addition to adjusting the speed at which the glyphs and the change glyphs of the base image are displayed by being replaced with each other in the block where the animation is executed, Various animation setting information may be included. When the glyph insertion and animation effect setting information input is completed, the text input from the user is inserted into the remaining input window to complete the animation glyph (see FIG. 10 (d)).

11 is a flowchart illustrating a process of displaying a pictogram message received through a wireless Internet network to a user in the receiving terminal 200. Referring to FIG. 11, the transmitter / receiver 410 of the receiving terminal 200 outputs a data string of the inputted pictogram message to the message editor 420, and the message editor 420 is first included in the data string of the pictogram message. Search for the unique code of the drawn pictogram (S1100).

The message editing unit 420 inquires the retrieved unique code in the glyph storage unit 430, examines whether the glyph corresponding to the unique code is stored in the glyph storage unit 430, and if all are stored, it will be described later. The flow proceeds to step S1120 (S1102).

If the pictogram corresponding to the unique code is not stored, the message editing unit 420 transmits the corresponding unique code to the pictogram message server 300 through the transmitting and receiving unit 410, the picture corresponding to the transmitted unique code Request to send a character (S1110), when receiving the corresponding pictogram from the pictogram message server 300, and stores the received pictogram in the pictogram storage unit (430) (S1112).

Thereafter, the message editing unit 420 converts the unique code of the received glyph message into a corresponding glyph and displays the text data to the user through the output unit 450 (S1120).

At this time, if the displayed glyph message includes an animation effect, first display the glyphs of the base image, and then change the glyph according to the time difference information among the animation setting information read in the received glyph data column. At a predetermined time period indicated by the time difference information, the effects are changed in order to express the animation effect.

So far, the process of creating, transmitting, receiving, and outputting a pictogram message including a combination picture or an animation composed of the combination picture has been described. Hereinafter, a method of adding an animation effect in a combination pictogram message will be described with reference to FIG. 12, and a method for inserting and creating an animation composed of a single pictogram into a pictogram message will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. .

12 is a flow chart illustrating a method of adding animation effects to a combined glyph message. Referring to FIG. 12, the same as the process illustrated in FIG. 7, first, the user displays a pictogram item and a pictogram (S1200), receives a pictograph selection signal from the user, and inputs a pictogram message to the selected pictogram. Insert into the window (S1202).

On the other hand, when the insertion of the glyph is completed, the message editing unit 420 checks whether the selection information for the additional function of the animation effect is input from the user (S1210), and if the selection information is input, it is changed to the animation effect from the user. The block, that is, the pictogram to be replaced with the changed pictogram is selected (S1212).

Thereafter, the message editing unit 420 displays the glyphs to the user through the output unit 450, and receives a glyph to be used as a change glyph to replace the glyph selected in step S1212 (S1214). .

The message editing unit 420 receiving the change pictogram receives input animation setting information from the user, and the animation setting information includes time difference information at which the glyph is changed in a block in which the animation effect is expressed (S1216).

Thereafter, the message editing unit 420 inserts the text input from the user into the remaining portion of the message input window in the same manner as in steps S730 to S734 of FIG. 7 (S1220), and changes the glyphs included in the pictogram message. The characters are converted into corresponding unique codes, respectively, to complete the pictogram message, and the completed pictogram is transmitted to the receiving terminal 200 through the transceiver 410 (S1222).

So far, the case where the animation inserted in the glyph message is composed of the combination picture has been described. Hereinafter, a process of inserting a glyph message into an animation composed of a single glyph will be described.

13A is a flowchart illustrating a process of registering an animation consisting of a single pictogram in the pictogram message server 300, and FIG. 13B is a method of creating a pictogram message by inserting a single pictogram animation in the transmitting terminal 100. This is a flow chart illustrating.

14A is a diagram illustrating an example of the structure of a single pictogram animation, and FIG. 14B is a diagram illustrating an example of the preparation of a pictogram message in which a single pictogram animation is inserted.

FIG. 15A is a diagram showing another example of the structure of the single glyph animation, and FIG. 15B is a diagram showing another example of the glyph message creation in which the single glyph animation is inserted.

Referring to FIG. 13A, the controller 340 of the pictogram message server 300 manages the pictograms read from the pictogram DB 370 through the output unit 330 to register an animation composed of a single pictogram. Or it is displayed to the user (hereinafter referred to as "manager"), receives a selection signal for the glyph from the administrator, and outputs the selected glyph to the animation registration unit 360 (S1310). However, when a single glyph animation is registered by a request from the user terminal, the glyph character corresponding to the unique code input from the user terminal through the transceiver 310 is read from the glyph DB 370 to register the animation. Output to (360).

In addition, the controller 340 receives animation setting information through the input unit 320 (S1312). 14A and 15A, animation setting information requires position information indicating from which block to which block a single pictograph moves, and until the pictogram moves from one block to the next, as shown in FIG. Time information indicating the time to be included. However, the position information may consist of information on each position where the glyph is to be displayed, the position of the first block where the glyph is to be displayed, the direction in which the glyph is to move, and the block of the block forming the entire single glyph animation. It may consist of numbers.

The animation registration unit 360 converts the input glyph into a corresponding unique code (S1314), generates a single character animation by combining the unique code with the animation setting information, and registers it in the glyph DB 370 (S1316). At this time, the animation registration unit 360 is preferably combined with the glyph unique code and the animation setting information to generate a single glyph animation, and give a new animation unique code to the generated single glyph animation to store.

13B is a flowchart illustrating a process of creating a pictographic message in which a single pictogram animation is inserted in a transmitting terminal 100. FIG. 13B illustrates a case in which a single pictogram animation is further included in addition to the combination pictogram animation as a type of pictogram message to be created by the user, and the flowchart illustrated in detail in FIG. 7 when the user selects the animation. The transmitting terminal 100 checks whether the type selection information input in FIG. 7 represents a single pictogram animation or a combination pictogram animation, or inserts a single pictogram animation or a combination pictogram animation to the user. A selection menu is displayed asking whether to insert the information, and receiving and selecting another selection information (S1320).

If the user selects a single glyph animation, the message editing unit 420 outputs a list of the single glyph animations stored in the glyph storage unit 430 to the user, and receives one of the lists (S1330, FIG. 14B). a) and (a) of FIG. 15B).

The message editing unit 420 reads the selected single glyph animation from the glyph storage unit 430 and inserts it into the message input window (see S1340, (b) of FIG. 14B and (b) of FIG. 15B).

Thereafter, the message editing unit 420 receives the time difference information among the setting information of the single glyph animation, and proceeds to step S730 described above to insert the text input from the user into the message input window, step S732, and the first step. In operation S734, the pictogram message including the single pictogram animation is transmitted to the receiving terminal 200 (S1342, FIG. 14B (c) and FIG. 15B (c)). However, when the time difference information of the animation setting information is not received from the recipient, the time difference information is set to a default value registered by the administrator in step S1312 described above.

The glyph message input process when the user selects the combination picture animation in step S1320 is the same as the above-described steps S720 to S734.

Until now, a pictographic browser or a virtual machine (hereinafter referred to as a "pictographic browser") that supports a pictographic message service according to the present invention to a user terminal (including the transmitting terminal 100 and the receiving terminal 200) has been described. Modifications of the first embodiment and the first embodiment were provided. Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention, which is a case where a pictographic message service is used when the pictorial browser is not provided in the receiving terminal 200, will be described.

16A and 16B are flowcharts illustrating a pictographic message service method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the process of registering a pictogram and creating a pictogram message in the transmitting terminal 100 is the same as that of the first embodiment. Therefore, below, the 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated centering on a structure different from 1st Embodiment.

The transmitting terminal 100 creates a pictogram message or an animated pictogram message (hereinafter, collectively referred to as a "pictogram message") and transmits the pictogram message server 300 to the pictogram message server 300 by the above-described processes (S1600).

Request to give (S1622).

The pictogram message server 300 transmits the pictogram message stored in the recipient's inbox to the receiving terminal (S1630). At this time, the message transmitted to the receiving terminal includes a unique code and text.

The receiving terminal examines the unique codes included in the received pictogram message to determine whether all the pictograms included in the pictogram message are stored in the receiving terminal (S1635). Proceed to step S1645 to display the glyph message to the recipient.

If the pictogram message that is not stored in the receiving terminal is included in the pictogram message, the receiving terminal sends the unique code of the unsaved pictogram to the pictogram message server to request the pictogram, and the pictogram message server receives the pictogram message. The pictogram corresponding to the unique code is read and transmitted to the receiving terminal (S1640).

The receiving terminal stores the received pictogram with the unique code, and converts the unique codes included in the pictogram message into corresponding pictograms to display the pictogram message to the recipient (S1645).

On the other hand, as a result of the investigation in step S1614 described above, when the receiving terminal is not equipped with a glyph browser, the glyph message server converts the glyph message into a web document and transmits it to the receiving terminal (S1650).

Here, the web document means not only a document written using a language such as HTML or XML, but also a document containing a picture created through other language or means. That is, in the present specification, the term "web document" is intended to include a document of a file generated by an MS word or a Korean word processor, in addition to a document written using a language such as HTML or XML. In addition, it is assumed that the receiving terminal 200 is provided with a browser capable of displaying a web document.

The receiving terminal displays the received web document to the user (S1655).

Meanwhile, the glyph message server transmits the web document to the receiving terminal, and then transmits the glyph browser driving program to the receiving terminal (S1660), and the receiving terminal automatically installs the glyph browser driving program (S1665).
