Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention and methods for achieving them will become clear by referring to the embodiments described in detail below along with the accompanying drawings. However, the technical idea of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and may be implemented in various different forms. The following examples are merely intended to complete the technical idea of the present invention and to be used in the technical field to which the present invention pertains. It is provided to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the present invention, and the technical idea of the present invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. In describing the present disclosure, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description will be omitted. Hereinafter, several embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the configuration and operation of the family service providing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the family service providing system 10 according to this embodiment may include a family service linking server 100 and one or more service servers 200-1 to 200-N. In the present disclosure, “family service” includes services that provide preceding actions and services that provide subsequent actions that can be configured by the family service connection server 100 to connect actions according to an interconnection method between services. The service servers 200-1 to 200-N may be understood as servers that provide each service belonging to the family service.

Additionally, each of the service servers 200-1 to 200-N may transmit and receive data in a predefined format with the family service connection server 100. For example, each of the service servers 200-1 to 200-N may transmit the usage record of each user to the family service connection server 100.

Additionally, the family service connection server 100 may receive the usage records from each service server 200-1 to 200-N in real-time or near real-time. Additionally, the family service linking server 100 may have access to the usage records.

Additionally, the family service connection server 100 can select each user's preference pattern by analyzing the usage records. For example, the family service linking server 100 obtains a first use record for a first service of a first user and a second use record for a second service different from the first service of the first user, Using the obtained first and second usage records, it is possible to determine the establishment of a linked action that is repeatedly performed. It is assumed that the linked action includes a preceding action and a subsequent action to the preceding action, and that the preceding action is a first action of the first service and the subsequent action is a second action of the second service. Here, the family service linking server 100 may select at least some of the linking actions as the first user's preference pattern.

As described above, the family service connection server 100 may transmit information on the preference pattern for each selected user to each of the service servers 200-1 to 200-N.

Additionally, in some other embodiments, the family service linking server 100 monitors the usage record and, when detecting that the preceding action of the first user's preference pattern has been completed in the first service server, performs the following action of the preference pattern. The service server of the first service and the second service so that a graphic object or text representing a second service that can perform and a proposal for the subsequent action can be displayed on the first user terminal. A notification message related to the subsequent action proposal may be transmitted to at least one of the service servers.

As described above, the family service connection server 100 may only transmit information about the preference pattern for each user to each of the service servers 200-1 to 200-N, and a proposal according to the preference pattern may be made. By directly determining whether a situation is necessary and sending the notification message to the service server so that a suggestion for subsequent action of the preference pattern can be expressed on the user terminal, the interconnection method between services according to embodiments of the present disclosure It may be possible to minimize the computational load on the service server during execution.

In some embodiments, the family service connection server 100 may monitor the amount of available resources of each service server and dynamically switch the operation mode for services that show an amount of available resources below the standard value according to the monitoring results.

For example, the family service connection server 100 may temporarily disable a proposal to perform a follow-up action for a second service server that shows an amount of available resources less than the first standard value. In other words, the family service connection server 100 can dynamically change the operation mode for a service for which the service server shows an amount of available resources less than the first standard value to a deactivation mode.

In some embodiments, the family service connection server 100 may be able to reduce service traffic of a service server in a congested state without users feeling uncomfortable by expanding the preference patterns of each user to other users. To this end, the family service connection server 100 can manage a preference pattern list that collects the preference patterns of each user.

In addition, the family service linking server 100 searches the preference pattern list for a preference pattern that takes a specific action of the second service server in a congested state as a preceding action, and selects the user performing the preceding action of the searched preference pattern. A suggestion message for subsequent actions may be transmitted to the user terminal. In order to reduce the user's resistance, the family service connection server 100 selects some preceding actions that can be interrupted among the preceding actions of the searched preference pattern, and sends the following actions to the user terminal of the user performing some of the selected preceding actions. You will be able to send a proposal message for .

In some other embodiments, the family service connection server 100 may receive a support request from the second service server in a congested state. The support request may include a list of proposed preceding actions. The family service connection server 100 may transmit a suggestion message for a subsequent action to the user terminal of a user who is performing the preceding actions to be proposed included in the support request.

According to the above, it can be understood that the family service linking server 100 performs a method of interconnecting services, but on the other hand, it also performs the role of managing the amount of available resources of linked service servers. In other words, some embodiments of the present disclosure can provide users of a service server in a congested state with no resistance and natural guidance to move to another service by providing a method of interconnection between services.

As described above, various sensitive information, such as customer usage records, may be shared between the family service connection server 100 and the plurality of service servers 200-1 to 200-N. In some embodiments, the plurality of service servers 200-1 to 200-N may be managed and operated by one service provider. Additionally, the family service connection server 100 may also be managed and operated by the service provider. Figure 2 shows a home screen on which each application or each widget of family services provided by the same company is installed or installed. A connection to the service page may be provided through the application icon (11, 12, 13, 14) or widget (15, 16) of each service. Referring to FIG. 2, it will be easy to understand that the 'widget' referred to in this disclosure may mean a small application mounted on the home screen 10. The 'widget' referred to in this disclosure may be a web widget embedded in a web screen, or it may be a widget that can be mounted on the desktop provided by a PC (Personal Computer) operating system rather than a mobile operating system. Be careful.

In some other embodiments, the family service connection server 100 and the plurality of service servers 200-1 to 200-N, respectively, on the premise that there are strict rules for management, operation, leakage prevention, etc. of sensitive information. This may not necessarily be managed and operated by the same service provider.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 1, the family service connection server 100 and each service server (any one of 200-1 to 200-N) are shown as separate physical servers. However, unlike shown in FIG. 2, the service server 200 The family service linking server 100 may be implemented in the same physical server (any one of -1 to 200-N). For example, a virtual machine of the family service linked server 100 and a virtual machine of the service server (any one of 200-1 to 200-N) may be provisioned on the same physical server. Additionally, for example, the container of the family service linked server 100 and the container of the service server (any one of 200-1 to 200-N) may be provisioned on the same physical server. Additionally, for example, the container of the family service linked server 100 and the container of the service server (any one of 200-1 to 200-N) may be provisioned to the same virtual machine. In this way, when the service server (any one of 200-1 to 200-N) and the family service linked server 100 are implemented based on the same physical server or the same virtual machine, the connection between the online shopping service server and the family service linked server Network resources required for data sharing will be significantly saved, and data sharing speed will be significantly faster.

Hereinafter, a method of interconnection between services according to another embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 14. The interconnection method between services according to this embodiment may be performed by one or more computing devices. For example, the interconnection method between services according to this embodiment can be performed by the family service connection server described with reference to FIG. 1. Additionally, in the interconnection method between services according to this embodiment, some operations may be performed by the user terminal described with reference to FIG. 1, and remaining operations may be performed by the family service connection server described with reference to FIG. 1.

Additionally, technical ideas that can be recognized with reference to the embodiments described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 may be applied to the method of providing a shortcut object according to this embodiment, even if not separately specified in this embodiment. Hereinafter, to facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the implementer of some operations may be omitted, and in this case, it should be understood that any computing device can be the implementer.

Figure 3 shows operations for discovering personalized preference patterns. In order to discover preference patterns, each user's service use record is performed on each service server side (S100), the service use record is obtained (S200), and the first user repeatedly performs the service using the service use record. Linked actions are identified (S300), and at least some of the linked actions discovered in this way may be selected as the first user's preferred pattern (S400).

The linked action includes a preceding action and a subsequent action to the preceding action, the preceding action may be a first action of the first service, and the subsequent action may refer to a second action of the second service. In other words, the linked action can be identified in step S300 through repetition of preceding and succeeding actions belonging to different services. The minimum number of repetitions of the linking action may be a pre-designated fixed value or a setting value that can be dynamically adjusted based on various contexts, such as the amount of available resources.

Hereinafter, we will explain what conditions the preceding and succeeding actions satisfy to determine the establishment of the linked action. For convenience of understanding, the operations described with reference to FIG. 3 will be explained assuming an example in which the family service linking server performs, but this should not be interpreted as the family service linking server performing all operations in this embodiment. No, it won't happen. Hereinafter, “family service linked server” may be abbreviated as “linked server.”

The linkage server may obtain the first user's usage records for each service and analyze the usage records to discover the first user's personalized preference pattern.

In some embodiments, the association server may analyze all combinations of services of preceding and succeeding actions of the preference pattern without limitation. At this time, the linked server can discover the first user's personalized preference pattern without missing it.

In some other embodiments, the linkage server may identify only the linkage behavior of the first user that corresponds to a pre-registered combination of the service of the preceding activity and the service of the subsequent activity. At this time, the linked server can reduce the amount of resources invested in discovering preferred patterns. Figure 4 shows an exemplary linkable service list 20 that includes one or more sets of pre-registered preceding services and succeeding services. The linking server searches the sets (20-1, 20-2, 20-3) of each preceding service (21) and succeeding service (22) included in the linkable service list (20), and retrieves the searched preceding service (21). ) and the set of subsequent services 22, and a repetitive action that satisfies the above linked action establishment conditions can be identified as a linked action.

The linkable service list 20 may include a set 20-1 in which the preceding service 21 is a food delivery service and the succeeding service 22 is a video streaming service. Considering that users often link services such as watching videos after food delivery, the set (20-1) must be registered by default, processed with a PIN and not removed, or prioritized in usage records. It may be something that needs to be explored.

The linked server adds a new set of preceding services (21) and subsequent services (22) to the list of available services (20) or deletes a set that has not been selected as the user's preferred pattern among existing sets. A list of connectable services (20) can be managed.

In some other embodiments, the linked server does not dynamically impose restrictions on the combination of services of the preceding and following actions of the preferred pattern, depending on the amount of resources that can be invested in the linked server or the amount of available resources among the amount of resources invested in the linked server. It is also possible to switch between an operation mode that analyzes all combinations and an operation mode that identifies the linked behavior of the first user corresponding to a pre-registered combination of the service of the preceding behavior and the service of the succeeding behavior of the preference pattern. there is.

Additionally, the linked server may manage the attribute information table 30 for each service as shown in FIG. 5. The linkage server registers whether each service (31) can be used in parallel with other services (32) and the standard time (33) for linkage to subsequent actions, which can be used as reference data for identifying linkage actions. At this time, services that require the user's concentrated actions, such as the food delivery service (30-1), may be set as unable to be used in parallel with other services, and video streaming services that can partially be used in parallel with other actions (30-2) Services such as and online shopping service (30-3) can be set to be compatible with other services. Additionally, the reference time 33 that can be linked to the subsequent action may be set based on the time related to the preceding action (30-1, 30-2) or may be set as a fixed time (30-3).

In some embodiments, the linking server may compare the performance timing of the preceding action with the performing timing of the succeeding action and use the result to determine whether the linking action is established. To this end, the linkage server identifies the end point of the preceding action and the start point of the subsequent action, determines whether the start point and the end point satisfy the conditions for establishing the linkage action, and as a result of the determination, the linkage action is established. If the conditions are satisfied, establishment of the linkage action can be determined. In other words, the linking server can determine that a linking action is established when the starting point of the subsequent behavior and the ending point of the preceding behavior satisfy the linked behavior establishment conditions.

In some embodiments, the condition for establishing the linked action may be a condition that is established when the end time of the preceding action is after the start time of the subsequent action. In other words, a linked action can be established when the preceding and succeeding actions partially overlap in time. In addition, the link action establishment condition may be a condition that is established when the service of the preceding action and the service of the subsequent action belong to a pre-designated parallel service among a plurality of family services, and the start time is after the end time. there is.

In some embodiments, the condition for establishing the linking action is that the start point of the subsequent act is after the end point of the preceding act, and the time interval between the end point and the start point is a predetermined linkable reference time for the service of the preceding act. If it is within the range, it may be a condition that is met. It has been described in detail with reference to FIG. 5 that the reference time available for linking to subsequent actions for each service may be registered in advance. The conditions for establishing the linkage act are that the start point of the subsequent act is after the end point of the preceding act, and the time interval between the end point of the preceding act and the start point of the subsequent act is within the pre-specified linkable standard time for the service of the preceding act. , it may be established when the service of the preceding action and the service of the succeeding action correspond to one of the sets included in the linkable service list described with reference to FIG. 4.

In some embodiments, the linkage action establishment condition may be established when there is substantial semantic identity between the target object of the preceding action and the target object of the subsequent action. The condition for establishing the linked action is that there is substantial semantic identity between the target object of the preceding action and the target object of the subsequent action, and the end point of the preceding action is after the start time of the subsequent action, or the end point of the preceding action is after the beginning of the subsequent action. It may be established if it is before the start point of the action and the time interval between the end point and the start point is within a preset maximum time interval.

The fact that there is substantial semantic identity between the target object of the preceding action and the target object of the succeeding action may mean that the correlation between the meta information of each target object is greater than the standard value. For example, if the preceding action of the first user is ordering delivery of Chinese food from a food delivery service, and the following action is playing Chinese travel content from a video streaming service, the name 'China' is inserted between the preceding action and the following action of the first user. There may be semantic and substantive identity. If the first user repeats the performance of these preceding and following actions, it may be determined that the linked action is established.

The meta information may be a collection of existing information about the target object. As shown in the example table 40 shown in FIG. 6, for example, the meta information of the target object 43 of the delivery order action 42 of the food delivery service 40-1 includes text about the ordered food. It may be a collection (40-1a), and the meta information of the target object (43) of the take-out ordering action (42) of the food delivery service (40-2) is a collection of texts about the ordered food (40- 1b), and the target object 43 of the meta information of the playback action 42 of the video streaming service 40-3 is a collection of texts such as title, genre, and synopsis for the target content (40-1c). ) can be.

The linkage server can generate an embedding vector of meta information of the target object as shown in FIG. 6 using a machine learned model. In addition, the linkage server uses the distance between the embedding vector of each of the first meta information of the target object of the preceding action and the second meta information of the target object of the succeeding action to the target object of the preceding action and the target object of the succeeding action. It is possible to determine whether there is semantic and substantive identity between the two.

In some embodiments, the distance may be a Euclidean distance in feature space.

In some other embodiments, when the dimension of the feature space exceeds a reference value, the distance may be a distance learned through metric learning.

In some other embodiments, regardless of whether the dimension of the feature space exceeds a reference value, the distance may be a distance previously learned through metric learning to measure semantic substantive identity. It may be possible.

As shown in FIG. 7, each meta information can be mapped to points 40-1a', 40-1b', and 40-1c' on the feature space. Point 40-1a' of the first meta information 40-1a, point 40-1b' of the second meta information 40-1b, and point 40-1c of the third meta information 40-1c in FIG. (40-1c') are each shown in FIG. 7, and the first meta information (40-1a) and the second meta information (40-1b) with the shortest distance (d2) are determined to be substantially identical in semantics. You will be able to.

In short, the linkage server constructs a first text using the meta information of the target object of the preceding action, obtains a first embedding vector of the first text, and creates a second text using the meta information of the target object of the preceding action. Construct and obtain a second embedding vector of the second text, and use the distance between the first embedding vector and the second embedding vector to determine the relationship between the first meta information and the second meta information. The correlation can be determined, and if the correlation is greater than the reference value, the establishment of a linked act consisting of the preceding act and the succeeding act can be determined.

So far, we have explained what conditions the preceding and succeeding actions satisfy to determine the establishment of the linked action. It has been described above that the linkage server can collect the identified linkage behaviors and finally determine at least some of the collected linkage behaviors as a preferred pattern (S400).

In some embodiments, the linkage server may determine a linkage behavior in which the consistency of situational information at the time of occurrence of the linkage behavior exceeds a first standard value as the preferred pattern of the first user. The preference pattern determined in this way will be a meaningful usage pattern as a pattern with a high preference of the first user because the situation information indicates a consistent pattern when performed repeatedly. The situation information may be composed by combining various situation factors that are widely considered, for example, time information, location information, and weather information.

In some embodiments, the linkage server may determine a linkage behavior in which a change in the behavior occurrence period is less than a second reference value among the linkage actions as the first user's preference pattern. The preference pattern determined in this way refers to a pattern with a constant repetition performance cycle, so it will be a meaningful usage pattern as a pattern with a high preference for the first user.

In some embodiments, the linkage server may determine a linkage behavior in which the maximum time interval between action occurrences is less than a third standard among the linkage actions as the first user's preference pattern. Although the preferred pattern determined in this way is performed repeatedly, it will be a meaningful usage pattern as it includes only the repetitive performance pattern in the true sense, eliminating linked actions with a long maximum time interval between the occurrences of the actions so that it can hardly be considered repetitive performance in the true sense. . At this time, the third reference value may be set to a relatively long period of time that is difficult to see as a cycle of meaningful repetition of the user's actions, for example, a period of about 3 months.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a table 50 including preferred patterns 50-1 and 50-2 of an exemplary first user selected by the linking server through the above-described process. That is, the linkage server can manage information including the preceding service (51), preceding action (52), subsequent service (53), and subsequent action (54) as preference pattern information for each user.

Additionally, in some embodiments, the linkage server may collect the preference patterns of each user to form a list of universal preference patterns, and may update the list of universal preference patterns periodically or aperiodically.

So far, operations related to identifying personalized preference patterns have been described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8 . Next, we describe operations related to suggesting a follow-up action based on the identified preference pattern.

The operations related to proposing the subsequent actions described from now on may be performed by the linked server, but as the list of user-specific preference patterns or the list of general-purpose preference patterns managed by the linked server is provided to the service server, the preceding actions may be performed by the linked server. It may also be performed by a service server or a service server of a subsequent action.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, completion of the preceding action of the preference pattern is monitored (S500), and when it is detected that the preceding action of the preference pattern is completed (S600), the completion of the preceding action of the preference pattern is monitored (S500). Data related to a suggestion for a subsequent action may be transmitted to the first user's user terminal (S700). How the proposed content of the subsequent action can be displayed on the screen of the user terminal will be described later.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10 , the information 50 of each preference pattern may further include context information 55 . The context information 55 may indicate a representative value of context information when a preference pattern is repeatedly performed. For example, the first preference pattern 50-1 is an action performed at the first user's home during weekends, and the second preference pattern 50-2 is an action performed while moving during weekday evenings.

Considering the situation information of the preference pattern described above, if the current situation corresponding to the situation information of the preference pattern is detected, sequential performance of the preceding and succeeding actions of the preference pattern may be proposed. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, it is monitored whether the current situation corresponds to the situation information of the preference pattern through sensing information received from each user's user terminal (S550), and the current situation of the first user is preferred. If it is determined that the pattern corresponds to the context information (S650), suggestion data related to performing the preferred pattern may be transmitted to the user terminal of the first user (S750).

Hereinafter, a proposal-related screen that can be displayed on the screen of the user terminal will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 14.

In some embodiments, a display object related to a suggestion of a subsequent action may be included in a guidance screen related to the completion of a preceding action displayed on the user terminal. As an example, Figure 12 shows that the delivery status display screen 60 displayed after completing a delivery order for a food delivery service includes an image link 61 suggesting playback of specific content from a video streaming service.

That is, data related to the subsequent action proposal may be transmitted to the user terminal of the first user so that a completion guidance screen for the preceding action including a display object related to the proposal for the subsequent action is displayed on the user terminal of the first user. There is. In FIG. 12, data related to the subsequent action suggestion may include data for rendering the image link 61 on the screen and a deep link that causes the application page of the subsequent action to be opened.

Additionally, in some embodiments, an APP push message suggesting a follow-up action may be displayed on the first user's user terminal. That is, the data related to the subsequent action proposal may be an app push message, and the app push message may include a deep link for moving to a screen related to the subsequent action of the application of the subsequent action.

Additionally, in some embodiments, a notification icon may be displayed overlaid on the icon of the application in the subsequent action. At this time, the data related to the subsequent action proposal may include a message including a deep link for inducing movement to a screen related to the subsequent action, and the application of the subsequent action responds to receiving the message, You can display the unread message counter by overlaying it on your icon.

Additionally, in some embodiments, after the current context information corresponding to the context information of the preference pattern is detected, a push message suggesting performance of the preference pattern may be transmitted to the application of the preceding action.

Additionally, in some embodiments, after the current context information corresponding to the context information of the preference pattern is detected, a notification message suggesting performance of the preference pattern is sent to the application of the preceding action, whereby the application of the preceding action You can display this unread message counter by overlaying it on your icon.

Additionally, in some embodiments, a suggestion for a subsequent action may be presented on a shortcut widget of family apps that include an application of the service of the preceding action and an application of the service of the subsequent action. Using the shortcut widget, suggestions for subsequent actions can be expressed in more diverse ways using the widget screen compared to when the application icon is placed on the home screen. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, a suggestion for a subsequent action is displayed on the screen of the shortcut widget 70 mounted on the home screen 70 of the user terminal of the first user for which completion of the preceding action has been detected. A graphic object 71a may be displayed. That is, after detection of completion of the preceding action, a message indicating a proposal for a subsequent action may be transmitted to the shortcut widget of the user terminal of the first user. Upon receiving the message, the user terminal may refresh the screen of the shortcut widget 71 to display a graphic object 71a indicating a suggestion for a subsequent action.

Additionally, in some embodiments, suggestions for performing a preferred pattern may be presented on shortcut widgets of family apps that include the application of the service of the preceding action and the application of the service of the succeeding action. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, when it is determined that the situation information according to the preceding pattern corresponds to the current situation information of the first user's user terminal, a shortcut mounted on the home screen 70 of the user terminal A graphic object 71b representing a suggestion to perform a preferred pattern may be displayed on the screen of the widget 71. That is, after the current context information corresponding to the context information of the preference pattern is detected, a message indicating a suggestion of the preference pattern may be transmitted to the shortcut widget of the user terminal of the first user. Upon receiving the message, the user terminal may refresh the screen of the shortcut widget 71 to display a graphic object 71b indicating a suggestion of a preferred pattern.
