  Referring to FIG. 2 again, the device (200) according to the present invention may further include an interest category input unit (250) that receives an input of an interest category for content through a user interface. The interest category input unit 250 can receive a keyword input through the user interface and extract an interest category corresponding to the input keyword. In addition, the interest category input unit 250 may receive an interest category input through the user interface of the first application or the second application. In this regard, the interest category input unit (250) will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3a and 3b.

  3a and 3b are diagrams illustrating an example of an interest category input unit (250) according to the present invention.

  The interest category input unit 250 may receive an interest category through the user interface of the first application or the second application. At this time, the interest category input screen may be activated on the user interface. For example, as shown in FIG. 3a, the interest category input screen is activated in the form of a check box (251) in which various categories such as politics, securities, sports, camping, society, and culture can be selected. be able to. At this time, the user can select an interest category through an input for selecting one or more categories from among a plurality of categories.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 3b, it is possible to receive a keyword input through the interest category input screen and extract the interest category corresponding to the input keyword. For example, keywords of “politics”, “securities”, and “sports” can be input through the interest category input screen (253) to add interest categories, and the added keywords can be deleted by a delete button.

  On the other hand, the interest category input screen shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B is merely an example, and the interest category input screen is not a check box or keyword input form, but a method of selecting an image, a movie, a slide for the category, and the like. It can be activated in various forms.

  Referring to FIG. 2 again, the interest category information in the device (200) according to the present invention is collected based on the interest category input through the first application or based on the interest category input through the second application. Can be collected. That is, the interest category information can be collected based on the interest category input by the plurality of users through the interest category input screen of the first application or the second application.

  First, a case where a common interest content is received by inputting an interest category through the first application will be described as follows.

  If one or more interest categories are input through the interest category input unit (250), information on the interest categories including one or more interest categories may be stored in the content providing server (110). That is, the content providing server 110 can store information on interest categories input by one or more users by matching each user. When the content providing server (110) receives the request for the transfer of the common interest content from the instant message server (120) in a state where the information on the interest category is stored in the content providing server (110), the content providing server (110) ) Can extract interest category information matched for each user in accordance with the transfer request, and can determine common interest information of users participating in the chat room based on the extracted interest category information. Common interest content corresponding to the common interest information determined in this way can be transferred directly to the device (200) or to the instant message server (120).

  In contrast, the interest category information may be stored in the instant message server (120). That is, in the instant message server 120, information on interest categories input by one or more users can be stored by matching for each user. With the interest category information stored in the instant message server (120), the instant message server (120) determines the common interest information based on the interest category information matched for each user who participated in the chat room. can do. When the common interest information is determined, the instant message server (120) requests the content providing server (110) to transfer the common interest content corresponding to the common interest information. As a result, the content providing server (110) can transfer the common content of interest directly to the device (200) or to the instant message server (120).

  Next, a case where a common interest content is received by inputting an interest category through the second application will be described as follows.

  The interest category input unit 250 that receives an interest category input through the user interface may receive an interest category input through the user interface of the second application. At this time, as described with reference to FIGS. 3a and 3b, the method of inputting the interest category through the interest category input unit (250) may be performed by inputting a check box on the activated interest category input screen or inputting a keyword. Can be entered, and interest categories can be entered in various other ways.

  When the interest category is input on the second application through the interest category input unit (250), the interest category information may be stored in the instant message server (120). At this time, in the instant message server 120, the interest category information input by one or more users can be stored by matching for each user. The instant message server (120) determines the common interest information of the users who participated in the chat room based on the interest category information stored in this manner, and the common interest information is shared with the content providing server (110). Request transfer of corresponding common interest content. Upon receiving the transfer request, the content providing server (110) can transfer the common content of interest directly to the device (200) or to the instant message server (120).

  Moreover, the interest category information in the device (200) according to the present invention is not input through the interest category input screen of the first application or the second application, but sets the interest category by parsing an instant message on the chat room. be able to. To this end, the device 200 according to the present invention may further include an interest category setting unit 270 that sets an interest category for the content.

  The interest category setting unit (270) extracts a keyword included in the content of an instant message exchanged by users participating in the chat room, matches the extracted keyword with one or more of the categories classified in advance, Interest categories can be set based on the matched categories. For example, the categories “Sports” and “Politics” are pre-classified, and if there is a conversation “Let's play soccer” during a conversation between users, the keyword “Soccer” is extracted and matched to the category “Sports” "Sports" can be set as an interest category.

  At this time, if the number of times that the keyword is matched with a pre-categorized category is greater than or equal to the preset number, the interest category setting unit (270) sets the category matched with the preset number of times or more as the interest category. Can be set. That is, it is not specified as an interest category every time a keyword matching a category is extracted, but can be set as an interest category only when keywords of a predetermined number of times or more are extracted. Thereby, this invention can provide the common interest content with a more reliable user.

  On the other hand, the interest category setting unit (270) may set an interest category by parsing an instant message exchanged by users participating in the chat room with a predetermined period. That is, the interest category setting unit (270) extracts a keyword included in the instant message in a predetermined cycle, instead of parsing each time the user participating in the chat room transfers the instant message. The keyword can be matched with one or more of the categories classified in advance, and the interest category can be set based on the matched category.

  As described above, the interest category setting unit (270) included in the device (200) according to the present invention can set an interest category by parsing the instant message, and the interest category setting unit (200) of the device (200) ( Instead of setting the interest category at 200), the instant message can also be parsed by the instant message server (120). That is, the instant message server 120 can extract a keyword included in the content of an instant message exchanged by users who participate in the chat room, match the category, and then set an interest category.

  In addition, the interest category information in the device (200) according to the present invention can be determined based on content participation information. Specifically, the instant message server (120) requests the content providing server (110) to transfer common content of interest, and the content providing server (110) extracts content participation level information according to the transfer request. Can do. Then, the content providing server (110) determines the interest category information based on the extracted participation degree information, and the common interest information corresponding to the common interest information determined by the determined interest category information. Content can be transferred to either the device (200) or the instant message server (120). Below, participation degree information is demonstrated with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining content participation degree information.

  The participation degree information can be extracted based on one or more of a comment history, a sharing history, and a preference history for the content. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the content is news, the user inputs a comment, content sharing, and preference input through an activated screen (271) at the bottom of the screen on which the news is displayed. be able to. Specifically, participation degree information can be extracted based on a history of leaving comments on the relevant news. Moreover, participation degree information can be extracted based on the history such as the number of times the news has been shared with other users. In addition to this, the preference history for the news, that is, if the button “I like it” or “I do n’t like it” or the button like “Recommend” is activated, Based on this, it is possible to extract participation degree information.

  At this time, the participation level information may include category information of content in which one or more of the comment history, the sharing history, and the preference history of the device (200) user exist, and thus, the interest category information It can be determined based on the category information of the content included in the participation degree information. Furthermore, the participation level information may include information on a category in which one or more of the comment history, the sharing history, and the preference level history of the device (200) user exist for a preset number of times.

  In contrast to this, the participation degree information may include category information of content that exists more than the preset number of times among the comment history, the sharing history, and the preference history. That is, not only the device (200) user but also the external device (300) user's comment history, sharing history, and preference history can be taken into account when extracting the participation level information.
