Description

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The invention relates to hardware and software instant messaging systems and, in particular, to instant messaging systems configured to provide notification of an event to instant messaging devices operating in the instant messaging system.

LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY

With the spread of the Internet, the way people communicate is changing. Electronic communication, in particular electronic mail (e-mail), and real-time electronic messaging (for example, instant messaging and interactive correspondence or so-called "chats") are rapidly replacing traditional telephone and postal communications. Instant messaging allows multiple account users to simultaneously access a message or multiple messages, each of whom can enter a message or multiple messages during an instant messaging session. Each message entered is sent to clients running on instant messaging devices (such as computers, mobile devices, or cell phones) of other account users who choose to participate in the instant messaging session.

Other participants in the session can send their own messages in response, which are similarly transmitted to all devices participating in the session. These messages are usually text messages that are sent to the intended recipient (s) of the message in real time. However, messages can also be presented in various other formats or combinations thereof, for example, in the form of audio, animation or video messages, in the form of images, etc.

Typically, a session history of messages received and transmitted by all participants participating in a given messaging session is stored on the individual devices of the participants, and this information is usually presented on the screen of the corresponding device in the form of a scrollable dialogue. Such textual history is one of the attributes of the immersive effect of real-time electronic messaging.

Known technical solution for the patent RU 2246754 from 29.12.2003, IPC G06F 15/00, "METHOD FOR EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION BETWEEN SUBSCRIBERS OF COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND A MACHINE-READABLE DATA MEDIA".

The invention relates to communication technology and can be used to organize the exchange of information between users of a communication network. The technical result is to expand the possibilities for searching and offering information in the network by automatically transmitting and receiving by the subscriber the corresponding non-standard short messages addressed to a predetermined circle of interested subscribers. The method consists in entering data from an individual subscriber into the memory of the subscriber device, transmitting it through the subscriber device to the information server, where it is revealed whether the subscriber acts as an information provider offering specific information or as a consumer of information requesting specific information, data the information provider is stored in the information server database as a separate record of the supplier, and for the information consumer, the information corresponding to his request is searched for in the information server database, when the information responding to the request is recognized in the information server database, it is transferred to the information consumer. The technical result is achieved due to the fact that a classification is created in advance that allows to generate identifiers of objects of possible interest of subscribers, before entering data from an individual subscriber or in the process of this input, at least partial transformation of this data into the corresponding generated identifier of the mentioned classification is carried out, which is used in recognition in the database of the information server of the information that meets the subscriber's request, the part of the data not included in the identifier is used depending on the role in which the subscriber acts.

Known technical solution for patent US 5359508 A from 10.25.1994, IPC G06F 15/00, "Data collection and retrieval system for registering charges and royalties to users". The main feature is the use of a self-organizing database that charges users who find data in it and pays users who provide the data found. Has a built-in feedback mechanism called the payout meter (POM) that tells users what data to provide based on the number of requests for that data over time. ROM displays the expected payout for providing a piece of data. A sensitive and powerful feedback loop is created to ensure that the more data is requested over a period of time, the more likely it is that the data will be provided by the requester or someone who is reporting a payment from the requester.

The proposed method and system provide an advantage over the prior art by calculating the identification of areas of interest for participants in events and providing instant messaging to participants in public events with common areas of interest.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The technical result of the invention is to expand the arsenal of instant messaging tools. The claimed technical result is achieved by software and hardware technical means of processing and transmitting information, forming an automated system. Participants in conferences and public events dedicated to the same areas of development of technology or science are interested in more effectively finding like-minded people and interacting with other participants who have skills, resources and other means useful for developing projects.

Each participant in an event, conference, webinar, meeting or other type of platform for the exchange of skills can be registered in the instant messaging system. When registering a participant, a personal profile of the participant is created in an automated database, in which metrics of the participant's interests are registered.

An instant messaging system for users, comprising hardware and software: executing a mobile application configured to establish communication with the event server and register on the event server using the event's unique identifier; a context server providing registration of the user's device by the event identifier; formation of the profile of the event participant by drawing up a vector of areas of interest for the event participant; comparing the profiles of participants with each other by comparing the vectors of areas of interest of various participants in the events and calculating the relevance coefficient between the participants in the events; adding members with high mutual relevance to the general constituency and enabling instant messaging with mediated constituencies.

In one embodiment of the invention, the metrics of a participant's interests can be set by the profile owner himself. Also, the profile owner through the user interface, if necessary, makes corrections to his metrics of the participant's interests. The digital identifiers of the user's device from which the participant's profile is logged in are automatically added to the member's profile. The user's device from which the participant's profile is logged in, by digital identifier, provides automatic recording of the participant's visits with the profile of all events, conferences, thematic meetings, trainings, etc., where the automatic registration system for participants is deployed, provided in accordance with this invention.

The digital identifier of the user device, in one embodiment of the invention, may be generated when registering a member profile, or may include, as an integral part, the physical address of the device in a computer network (Media Access Control, MAC) of one or more network interfaces of that user device, from which the participant's profile was registered.

After registering a participant's profile to interact with the system, the participant's visit to an event is automatically registered in accordance with the participant's profile settings for those of the user's device digital identifiers that are appropriately selected by the participant's profile user for automatic registration at events. In one implementation, the user of the participant profile can manually explicitly use the registration link or event ID to register for the event.

In one of the embodiments of the invention, the user of the participant's profile uses a personal mobile device to interact with the invention, in which the firmware is installed, the means of the graphical user interface, which provide control of the settings of the participant's profile. The specified user interface provides automated registration of the user of the profile of the event participant at a specific event using the digital identifier of the event by using means of scanning a two-dimensional code (QR code), or barcode, or wireless (RFID, NFC) tags that contain the event identifier. By means of a mobile computer network, a mobile mobile network or other available network according to the event identifier and the participant's profile identifier, to which at least one digital identifier of the user's device is associated.

The participant's profile is a database table that stores the history of visits by the participant to certain events dedicated to the technology development directions of interest to the participant, scientific conferences, web-seminars, etc. Each visit dedicated to a certain topic allows one to judge the area of interest of the participants who attended the event. Thus, the history of events attended by a participant allows you to calculate the metrics of each individual participant profile and subsequently combine several participants with similar metrics into groups to organize instant messaging, or to send recommendations to the participant's profile user to join a thematic group, or directly recommend another participant in the system for communication on topics of interest to both.

In one embodiment, the user interface provides instant messaging with other users who have registered a member profile. At the same time, the transmitted and received messages of each user are automatically checked for the presence of keywords inherent in the events already held and the metrics of such a participant's profile are adjusted. In one embodiment of the invention, the search for keywords in the messages of the user of the profile of the participant is carried out in the information messages of the user in other popular instant messaging systems and / or on digital thematic sites, for example, Internet forums. At the same time, additional software and hardware modules can be connected to the participant's profile, which implement the search for keywords on the connected additional sites through which such a user of the participant's profile carries out information interaction.

The proposed invention is implemented using hardware and software computing means, including at least one or more general-purpose server, database server, web server, wired and / or wireless networks, mobile data networks, mobile devices of users, means of registration of the fact of participation users' mobile devices in the event.

The means of registering the fact of participation of users' mobile devices in an event allow you to link the profile of the event participant through the profile ID with the event ID and combine the profiles of participants based on their interest in this event or several events united by a single topic, i.e. to form the space of participants, on the one hand, and the space of thematic events, on the other hand, between which one-to-many relationship is calculated. At the same time, if several profiles of participants contain similar registrations for thematic events, then there is a high probability that users of such profiles have similar areas of interest and the level of communication interaction of such users can be increased with the subsequent receipt of the results of joint work of such users.

In one embodiment of the invention, event organizers, by calculating a rating and filtering profiles of event participants, are able to generate invitations to participate in an event.

In one embodiment, the claimed result is achieved by a method.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a mobile device for an instant messaging user.

CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The invention is a set of hardware and software tools that ensure the implementation of functions of forming logical connections between users and the corresponding profile of the participant, taking into account the participation of a particular user in a particular event. In this case, the system automatically generates a list of those recommended to each other according to the common interests of users.

An event is a public or non-public speech or expression of an opinion by a user on a topic in front of an audience with or without feedback from a speaker.

The messaging system and hardware-software complex provide:

- formation and receipt of the transcript of the event;

- the formation of a two-way communication between the information producer, the participants who form the context of the event, transcripts in the system, and its consumer.

Referring to FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an instant messaging system according to the present invention. The instant messaging system comprises a context server 120, an instant messaging server 140, and a plurality of 180 mobile devices of users 181, 182, 183 that selectively communicate with one or more of a plurality of 170 instant messaging topic groups.

According to the present invention, the context server 120 is connected to receive information about the plurality of events 110. The plurality of 110 events may include, for example, physical events such as conferences, broadcast TV and radio events, Internet events and events, chat session events (chat rooms, Internet forums, thematic networking sites), or their equivalents. Each event can be identified individually in the instant messaging system, or alternatively you can group them into one or more topics. Preferably, each of the plurality of events is associated with information about the event, the way of participating in the event, one or more pictograms of the event, or their equivalent.

The context server 120 is further connected to a plurality of 130 contexts. The plurality of 130 contexts may, for example, include one or more event icons and / or one or more event data and information associated with one or more of the plurality of 110 events. The set 130 contexts may include weather reports, traffic conditions, events, restaurants, commerce, services, sports, and the like.

The context server 120 registers a new event in several ways. For example, an event organizer might publish an event notification. The context server 120 receives the event notification through the context sink. Alternatively, the event organizer will send the event program in advance. The context server 120 receives the event program through the context sink and stores it in the server memory for later retrieval by the context processor. The context server 120 contains one or more search engines for determining the availability of one or more of the plurality of 110 events.

The context server 120 is connected to the instant messaging server 140. The context server 120 communicates with the instant messaging server 140 in response to the presence of one or more of the plurality of 110 events, or one or more of the plurality of 130 contexts associated with one or more of the plurality of 110 events. The instant messaging server 140 manages the transmission of one or more instant messages 160 of the respective participant profiles 150 to a plurality of 170 instant messaging sessions between a plurality of 180 instant messaging devices. Preferably, the instant messaging server 140 sends an instant message 160 in response to the server 120 establishing a communication context with the instant messaging server 140.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an embodiment of an instant messaging device 320 of a plurality of 180 instant messaging devices according to the present invention. In accordance with the present invention, each of the instant messaging devices 181, 182, 183 includes a device receiver 210, a device processor 220, a device memory 250, an instant messaging user interface 240, and a device transmitter 230.

The receiver 210 of the instant messaging device receives messages sent in the instant messaging system. Event attendance messages are sent by device transmitter 230 to servers 140. Alternatively, event attendance messages may be received / detected directly by device receiver 210 from multiple 130 contexts and / or multiple events 110. For example, an event announcement message may be sent through a short-range communication system, prompting the device receiver 210 to receive an event announcement message when the instant messaging device is locally present in the vicinity of one or more events, i. E. located in the space of the event.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a device receiver 210 intercepts transmitted signals from a wireless communication system. Those of skill in the art will understand that the device receiver 210 can intercept transmitted signals from any radio frequency (RF) channel, the device receiver 210 intercepts transmitted signals from other types of wireless communication channels, such as infrared and Bluetooth channels, signals from a wired communication system, for example from a local computer network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), wireless computer network (Wi-Fi), or a combination thereof. The Device Receiver 210 can receive signals over a LAN in which the Device Receiver 210 is connected to the device processor 220. The device processor 220 uses conventional signal processing techniques to process signals received from the device receiver 210, including event attendance messages. Preferably, the device processor 220 is similar to the MC68328 microcontroller available from Motorola, Inc. of Schaumburg, Illinois. Other similar processors may be used as device processor 220, and additional processors of the same or alternative type may be added as needed to meet the performance requirements of device processor 220.

To perform the necessary functions of the instant messaging device 180, the device processor 220 is coupled to device memory 2500, which preferably comprises random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), and / or magnetic memory. (such as a hard drive). Device memory 250 preferably contains a plurality of device capabilities 251 including multiple participation opportunities 252 and multiple communication capabilities 253. Multiple participation opportunities 252 may include, for example, supported types of data (e.g., audio, video), device type, device puncture usage device display, device battery life, device battery capacity or available power source, device processing power, processing time, and application programs. Those of skill in the art will understand that the plurality of participation opportunities 252 according to the present invention may be any combination of these or their equivalents. The plurality of communication capabilities 253 may include, for example, available modem speed, protocol support, wireless capability, wired capability, or equivalents.

The device transmitter 230 is connected to receive one or more command signals from the device processor 220 and, in response to the command signal, transmits as an active participant in the instant messaging system. In one embodiment of the present invention, a device transmitter 230 sends signals via a wireless communication system. The device transmitter 230 can send signals over any wireless radio frequency (RF) channel, such as a mobile cellular telephone channel or a mobile radio channel. The device transmitter 230 can send signals over other types of wireless communication channels, such as infrared channels and Bluetooth channels. In another embodiment, the device transmitter 370 sends signals through a wired communication system, such as from a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), wireless computer networks (Wi-Fi), or a combination thereof. Preferably, the instant messaging device 180 has an instant messaging user interface 240. The instant messaging user interface 240 may, for example, comprise a display, a keyboard, a button or set of buttons, a stylus or roller-actuated mouse, a tablet table, a trackball, a voice command processor, or their equivalents that allow a device user to view and enter data, and also manipulate them.

Each user of the device can configure the Polish IM interface 240 with one or more user preferences. User preferences can include, for example, a list of identifiers, commonly referred to as screen names, that represent the people with whom the device user communicates. A device user is notified when any of his list of identifiers registers with the IM system as an active IM participant and thus becomes available for communication (commonly referred to as "chat"). The list of identifiers is commonly referred to as the "buddy list". Usually in this list there is some indication of the state of each of the interlocutors. For example, in one system, a light comes on next to the available users. On another system, the buddy's display name appears in the buddy window. These methods serve to inform the user of the device about the availability of the person for electronic communication in real time.

The context is the information flow generated by the event participant, which can be presented in the form of text information, graphic information, audio information. The context is formed by the following roles: the event owner (who creates the event and describes it); the speaker of the event (who generates the main information flow in the context); audience of the event (users of the system who consume information).

The context can be supplemented with information such as:

- the geolocation to which the context is attached (param: CTX-G);

- text description (param: CTX-TXT);

- graphic information (param: CTX-IMG);

- time of the beginning of the formation of the content part of the context (param: CTX-TS);

- end time of the formation of the content part of the content (param: CTX-TF);

- the content of the context, formed by the speaker (param: CTX-CNT);

- feedback information generated before, during and after the formation of the content part of the context (param: CTX-FDBCK).

The system provides a user interface for interacting with it both for participants who produce information within the system and for participants who consume information.

The user by active action through the system interfaces indicates the context of interest. In this case, the user generates the following events in the system:

- connection, disconnection to a specific context (param: EV-CONN);

- the amount of information produced and consumed from the system (param: EV-INFVOL);

- the time intervals in which the production and consumption of information took place (param: EV-PCT);

- speed of production and consumption of information (param: EV-IVL);

- the presence of feedback with the speaker in the context of the event (param: EV-FDBCKBOOL);

- frequency, volume, type of two-way communication (param: EV-FDBCKVOL).

Contexts and user events form information spaces. There are various classes of space participants in space. The participant's class is formed in accordance with the participant's rating.

Member class can be:

- active creator of contexts;

- an active content producer in contexts;

- an active consumer of content in contexts;

- like-minded person;

- new to the topic of context;

- a professional on the topic of context;

- others.

The rating is formed on the basis of information supplied and consumed in the system within one or more contexts. Based on the contexts in the space of events, logical connections between the participants are formed. The system participants through the interfaces get the closest to themselves in terms of contexts in the space of other participants.

The proximity of participants is a function of the variables listed above (param: XXX): F = F {CTX - *, EV- *}

The system provides the ability to filter the lists of participants in the space depending on the content of the space, the amount of information produced and consumed, geolocation, time and other parameters of the context, changing the weights of the proximity function of participants.

Unlike all other instant messaging systems and social networks, where the user profile is filled in by the user independently, in the proposed hardware and software complex, the profile is formed by the system means, based on the place in the space in which the user of the participant's profile is located.

In one embodiment, the instant messaging system provides an opportunity to find a participant in a space with similar parameters of participation in the system, which significantly saves the time of forming, for example, a professional community; development teams; candidates for recruitment for an open position; like-minded people; and etc.

In view of the above, the claimed invention has significant differences in comparison with the mentioned analogs, it is significantly more advanced technologically, since all the technical solutions underlying it provide for the maximum level of automation of the system operation process, minimize the participation of the "human factor" and related inevitable errors in the process of system functioning.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the information given in the description are examples, which do not limit the scope of the present invention defined by the claims. A person skilled in the art should be clear that there are alternative embodiments of the invention, consistent with the essence of the present invention. Therefore, the attached claims, containing a set of features that characterize the invention, should not be interpreted in the narrow sense of the examples of implementation disclosed in the description, but at the same time discloses the scope of legal protection granted to a patent for an invention.
