The second user terminal 30 may receive an interaction for at least one of the at least one reaction interface from the second user.
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method for providing reaction contents by the server 10 of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
In operation 201, the server 10 receives a request from the first user terminal 20 to post a custom content and an object related to the custom content on the first user's profile screen.
The server 10 may provide the first user terminal 20 with a feature of creating an object. For example, the first user terminal 20 may request the server 10 to create and post an object through a feature of editing or modifying the first user's profile screen. Specifically, the server 10 may provide the first user terminal 20 with a feature of creating and posting various objects (e.g., a profile photo, a status message, a sticker, etc.) on the first user's profile screen. The first user terminal 20 may select one of the various objects and request to create and post the selected object.
The object may include a details area, including details received in relation to the object, and a reaction area related to a reaction to the object. The first user may input specific details in the details area to create the object on the server 10. Accordingly, the object may be used to induce the second user's reaction to the specific details input by the first user.
Additionally, the first user may provide a custom content while requesting the server 10 to create an object. The server 10 may provide the first user terminal 20 with candidate reaction contents for a custom content. The first user may provide the custom content to the server 10 by selecting at least one of the candidate reaction contents.
In some cases, the number of candidate reaction contents selectable as a custom content may be predetermined or limited. The number of candidate reaction contents selectable as a custom content may be determined based on a size of the object.
Here, the candidate reaction contents may be determined in various ways. For example, the candidate reaction contents may include at least one predetermined reaction content. In this case, the candidate reaction contents may be provided equally to a plurality of users who are to input a custom content.
In another example, different candidate reaction contents may be determined depending on a characteristic of a user entering a custom content. Accordingly, the candidate reaction contents may be determined differently depending on the first user's history information regarding reaction contents. For example, the reaction contents are emoticons, the candidate reaction contents provided to the first user terminal may include emoticons related to the first user's emoticon usage history, favorite emoticon designation history, emoticon purchase history, emoticon download history, or emoticon retention history.
In another example, the candidate reaction contents may be determined based on a characteristic of an object. The characteristic of the object may include at least one of a posting time of the object and details received from the first user terminal in relation to the object. For example, if the posting time of the object is near the beginning of the year, the candidate reaction contents may include emoticons related to New Year's greetings. Additionally, when the first user terminal inputs graduation-related details in relation to the object, the candidate reaction contents may include emoticons related to graduation.
In some cases, the custom content may be acquired not by selecting a reaction content but by selecting a content including a specific feature. For example, when the first user selects a content including a gifting feature as a custom content, the reaction interface may include a gifting feature interface.
The first user may set how to display a reaction interface in subsequent operation 203 while making a request to the server 10 to create an object. For example, the first user may determine whether the reaction interface is displayed in response to the second user's interaction with the object or whether the reaction interface is displayed within the object.
In some cases, how the reaction interface is displayed may be determined based on a size of the object. For example, when the size of the object is small, the reaction interface may be displayed separately from the object in response to the second user's interaction with the object. However, if the size of the object is large, the reaction interface may be displayed within the object. In this case, the second user may be provided with a reaction interface and interact therewith without having to interact with a separate object.
In the above example, when the reaction interface is not displayed within the object, at least one of the reaction contents may be designated as a designated reaction content and displayed within the object. The first user terminal 20 may designate any one of the reaction contents selected based on the custom content as the designated reaction content. The designated reaction content may be displayed within the object when the object is displayed in subsequent operation 203.
The server 10 may provide a setting interface for specifying the size and position of the object to be displayed on the first user terminal 20. The first user terminal 20 may display the object on the first user's profile screen and provide a setting interface related to a feature that allows the first user to change the size, position, and shape of the object.
In operation 203, the server 10 provides the first user's profile screen including the object to the second user terminal 30 in response to a request to view the first user's profile screen from the second user terminal 30.
The second user may request to view the first user's profile screen from the server 10 in various ways. For example, the second user may select the first user's profile picture from a friend list or chat room and request to view the first user's profile screen from the server 10.
The server 10 may provide the second user terminal 30 with the first user's profile screen including an object that includes a custom content. Specifically, the object may be determined according to display options (size, position, color, visual effect, etc.) set by the first user on the first user's profile screen.
The object displayed in operation 203 may be divided into two or more areas. Specifically, the object may include a details area, including details received in relation to the object, and a reaction area related to a reaction to the object.
In operation 205, the server 10 provides information about the custom content to be displayed as part of at least one reaction interface for the object to the second user terminal 30.
When the server 10 receives an interaction regarding the object from the second user terminal 30, the server 10 may provide the information about the custom content to be displayed as part of at least one reaction interface for the object to the second user terminal 30. In this case, the second user terminal 30 may display the reaction interface including the custom content.
Specifically, when the server 10 receives an interaction regarding the object from the second user terminal 30, the server 10 may provide the first user's profile screen including a reaction interface to the second user terminal 30. The server 10 may provide the profile screen with the reaction interface in response to receiving an interaction with the reaction area within the object.
The second user terminal 30 may display the reaction interface in various ways. The second user terminal 30 may display the reaction interface overlapping at least a part of the first user's profile screen. For example, the second user terminal 30 may display the reaction interface around an object. In another example, the second user terminal 30 may display the first user's profile screen opaquely and the reaction interface in front of the first user's profile screen.
In some cases, the server 10 may provide information about at least one custom content for the object to the second user terminal 30 even if no interaction regarding the object has been received from the second user terminal 30. For example, although no interaction regarding the object has been received from the second user, the second user terminal 30 may display a reaction interface may be displayed including custom content within the object. Here, the reaction interface may be displayed in the reaction area of the object. In this case, the second user may interact with the reaction interface displayed within the object.
The reaction interface may include a reaction content interface related to a reaction content and a feature interface connected to a specific feature. Here, the specific feature may be a feature that the second user can perform for the first user in relation to the object. For example, the specific feature may be a feature that allows the second user to provide a gift, message, card, etc., to the first user.
The reaction interface may include a custom interface and a default interface. Here, the custom interface is an interface that is based on a custom content. Specifically, the custom interface refers to an interface in which a reaction content selected by the first user based on the custom content is displayed.
Here, the default interface refers to an interface included in the reaction interface, regardless of the first user's selection. The default interface may be determined according to the server's policy. For example, when the server sets a gifting feature interface as the default interface, the reaction interface may be provided with the gifting feature interface regardless of the first user's selection.
The relationship between the custom interface and the default interface is conceptually different from the relationship between the reaction content interface and the feature interface described above. Specifically, any reaction content interface or feature interface may be a custom interface based on the first user's selection, or may be a default interface based on the server's policy.
For example, the default interface may correspond to at least one of the reaction content interface. For example, if there are three reaction content interfaces, only one of the reaction content interfaces may correspond to the default interface.
In another example, the default interface may correspond to a feature interface. Specifically, at least one of a gifting interface and a messaging interface may correspond to the default interface.
The second user terminal 30 may display the feature interface along with the reaction content interface. Specifically, the second user terminal 30 may display the reaction content interface and the feature interface in response to an interaction regarding the object from the second user.
In some cases, the server 10 may provide information about a reaction content together with the object in response to a request to view the first user's profile screen from the second user terminal 30 even when there is no interaction with the object. Specifically, the object may include a details area, including details received from the first user terminal 20 in relation to the object, and a reaction area related to a reaction to the object. The first user terminal 20 may display the reaction interface within the reaction area even when there is no interaction regarding the object by the first user.
In operation 207, the server 10 receives an interaction with at least one of the at least one reaction interface from the second user terminal 30.
The server 10 may receive reaction information from the second user terminal 30 based on the interaction with the reaction interface.
The server 10 may receive the interaction with the reaction content interface from the second user terminal 30. If the reaction content interface is a single button through which a second user can input an interaction, there may be a single type of reaction. However, when the reaction content interface is provided as a choice-based reaction content interface where the second user can select one of the options and input an interaction, there may be multiple types of reaction based on the second user's selection.
The server 10 may receive an interaction with a feature interface from the second user terminal 30. Here, the feature interface refers to an interface provided to the second user terminal 30 to display a feature window related to the object. When the server 10 receives an interaction with the feature interface, the server 10 may provide the second user terminal 30 with a feature window for performing a specific feature. Here, the feature window refers to a separate page that performs the specific feature related to the object.
The second user terminal 30 may display the feature window in various ways. For example, the second user terminal 30 may display the feature window on the first user's profile screen. Specifically, the feature window may be displayed, covering a part of the first user's profile screen. In another example, when the second user terminal 30 displays the first user's profile screen on a part of the screen, the second user terminal 30 may display a new window on another part of the screen and show the feature window through the new window.
The feature window may include information related to the object. Specifically, the feature window may include at least one of the following: information about specific details included in the object, information about the first user who posted the object, and information related to the specific feature.
For example, the specific feature may correspond to a gifting feature. In this case, the feature window may correspond to a gift box. In this case, the gift box may include information about at least one of the first user's name, profile, and user ID. For example, the gift box may include information about the first user, such as “Gift recommendations for Peter.”
Additionally, the gift box may include gift recommendation information as information related to the specific feature (gifting feature). Specifically, the second user terminal 30 may request gifting for a poster of an object that includes details such as “Start diet!” In this case, the gift recommendation information may recommend a gift related to “diet.”
Immediately after receiving an interaction regarding at least one reaction interface from the second user, the second user terminal 30 may temporarily display a reaction content corresponding to the interaction.
In operation 209, the server 10 provides reaction information associated with the interaction to the first user terminal 20.
The first user terminal 30 may display the reaction information in various ways. For example, the first user terminal 30 may display reaction information overlapping at least a part of the first user's profile screen. Specifically, the reaction information may be displayed in the form of a window (modal view) that covers at least a part of the first user's profile screen.
In another example, the first user terminal 30 may display reaction information in the form of a separate page.
The server 10 may provide reaction information corresponding to the interaction to the first user terminal 20. The reaction information may include at least one of the following: information about a reaction content associated with the interaction, information about a specific feature associated with the interaction, and profile information about the second user.
The information about the reaction content associated with the interaction may be based on details of the reaction content, which is input by the second user. Specifically, the second user may input a reaction related to “cheering” through the reaction content interface. In this case, information about a reaction content corresponding to an interaction may include at least one of an image, an emoticon, and a text message related to the details of “cheering.”
The information about the specific feature associated with the interaction may include information provided by the specific feature and a detailed information viewing interface. Here, the detailed information viewing interface refers to an interface related to viewing detailed information provided by the specific feature. For example, the specific feature may correspond to a feature of providing a gift to the first user. In this case, the information about the feature of providing a gift (i.e., information about a specific feature) may correspond to gift information (i.e., information provided by a specific feature) and a gift box viewing interface (i.e., a detailed information viewing interface).
The second user's profile information may be displayed in various ways. Specifically, the first user terminal may display the profile information of the second user who sent the most recent reaction, with higher priority (at the top). For example, if Jane sent a reaction on Sep. 17, 2023 and Jack sent a reaction on Sep. 16, 2023, Jane may be displayed higher than Jack.
Additionally, the first user terminal 20 may display information related to a specific feature in reaction information. For example, a specific feature may correspond to a gifting feature. In this case, the first user terminal 20 may display the profile information of the second user, who most recently sent a reaction, with highest priority (at the top). For example, if Mike sent a gift to the first user through a gifting interface on Sep. 13, 2023, Mike may be displayed higher than Jane even if Jane sent a reaction on Sep. 17, 2023.
The first user terminal 20 may display a detailed information viewing interface related to a specific feature in reaction information. The first user terminal 20 may display specific details including information related to an object, in response to an interaction with the detailed information viewing interface.
When there is a plurality of objects, the first user terminal 20 may display information about at least a part of the specific details, separately by object. For example, when the first user terminal 20 receives gifts related to a plurality of objects, the gifts (specific details) related to the plurality of objects may be displayed separately by object. For example, the first user terminal 20 may distinguish the plurality of objects through a tab area. Specifically, the first user terminal 20 may post an object such as “Start a diet!” and receive a gift related to the object. In this case, the first user terminal 20 may display a tab corresponding to “Start a diet!” in the tab area.

Additionally, the first user may also change a position where the object 310 will be posted, by touching or clicking and then dragging the object 310. The first user terminal 20 may allow the object 310 to move only within an editable area 301 through this position change feature. Additionally, although not shown in the drawing, the first user may also set the transparency or color of the object 310.
The first user terminal 20 may transmit the custom content 330 to the server 10. Specifically, when the server 10 receives a request for the creation of the object 310 from the first user terminal 20, the server 10 may provide candidate reaction contents 320 for the custom content 330 to the first user terminal 20. The first user may select at least one of the candidate reaction contents 320 and transmit the at least one selected candidate reaction content to the server 10 as a custom content 330.
The first user terminal 20 may include information 360 related to the first user's history information in the custom content 330. The history information may include at least one of the first user's recent usage history, favorite designation history, purchase history, download history, and possession history regarding emoticons. For example, the custom content 330 may be an emoticon purchased by the first user.
In some cases, the information 360 related to the first user's history information may correspond to at least one custom content 330. For example, if the number of custom contents 330 is three, there may be only one information 360 related to the first user's history information.
Before requesting to post the object 310, the first user terminal 20 may display a screen in advance on which a gifting interface 350 will be displayed, along with a reaction content interface 340. Specifically, the first user terminal 20 may display a reaction content interface 340 based on a reaction content and a gifting (feature) interface 350, not based on a custom content.
The first user terminal 20 may transmit information about a designated reaction content 370 to the server 10. Specifically, the first user may transmit a request to select one of the candidate reaction contents 320 as the designated reaction content 370. Although not shown in the drawing, in some cases, the server 10 may determine and provide a content 341, which is displayed with the highest priority among the custom contents 330, as the designated reaction content 370.

Specifically, the second user terminal 30 may display the gifting feature window 600 overlapping with at least a part of the first user's profile screen.
The gifting feature window 600 may include information related to an object. Specifically, the gifting feature window 600 may include information 610 and 630 about details received from the first user terminal in relation to the object, and characteristic information 620 related to the first user. Here, the information about the details received in relation to the object may include information 610 related to specific details and gift recommendation information 630 related to the object.
The second user terminal 30 may display the information 610 related to the specific details included in the object in the gifting feature window 600. For example, the second user terminal 30 may display information such as “Send a gift related to dieting along with reaction content” 610 related to the detail of the object (e.g., “Starting a diet!”) input by the first user.
The information 620 about the first user who posted the object may include information about at least one of the first user's name, profile, and user ID. For example, the second user terminal 30 may include information about the first user, such as “Gift recommendations for Peter” 620, in the gifting feature window 600.
Gift recommendation information 630 related to the object may be displayed when the second user terminal 30 displays a feature window. For example, the second user terminal 30 may request gifting for an object poster, who posted an object that includes details such as “Starting a diet!” In such a case, the second user terminal 30 may display gift recommendation information 630 related to “dieting.”

The first user terminal 20 may display the reaction information 700 through the first user's profile screen. For example, the first user terminal 30 may display the reaction information 700 overlapping at least a part of the first user's profile screen. Specifically, the reaction information may be displayed in the form of a window (modal view) that covers at least a part of the first user's profile screen.
The first user terminal 20 may display the user 721, who most recently sent a reaction among the users 721, 722, 723, with highest priority (at the top). For example, if Jane 721 sent a reaction on Sep. 17, 2023, and Jack 722 sent a reaction on Sep. 16, 2023, Jane 721 may be displayed above Jack 722.
In some cases, the first user terminal 20 may display the profile 723 of the user who provided a gift, with highest priority. For example, when Mike 723 provided a gift to the first user through a gifting interface on Sep. 13, 2023, Mike may be displayed above Jane even if Jane 721 sent a reaction on Sep. 17, 2023. In this case, the first user terminal 20 may display the information 730 related to the gift (specific feature). For example, the first user terminal 20 may display a gift icon 730 next to the profile information of Mike 723.
The first user terminal 20 may check gifts received from other user terminals through the gift box viewing interface (detailed information viewing interface related to a specific feature) 740.
Referring to
When the first user terminal 20 has received gifts for a plurality of objects, the first user terminal 20 may display the gifts separately by object. The first user terminal 20 may display objects in various ways.
For example, the first user terminal 20 may distinguish the plurality of objects through a tab area. Specifically, the first user terminal 20 may post an object such as “Start a diet!” and receive a gift related to the object. In this case, the first user terminal 20 may display a tab 820 corresponding to “Starting a diet!” in the tab area. In this case, the first user terminal 20 may display a tab 820 corresponding to “Start a diet!” in the tab area. Additionally, the first user terminal 20 may display gifts related to that object in the tab 820 corresponding to “Starting a diet!”
A tab corresponding to each object may be deleted if all the received gifts are used or if the usage period expires. For example, if all the gifts included in the tab corresponding to “Starting a diet!” have been used or if the usage period for all gifts (e.g., Dec. 31, 2023) has expired, the “Starting a diet!” tab may be deleted from the tab area 820.
The first user terminal 20 may display the information 830 about each gift. Specifically, the information 830 about the gift may include a product's name, the product's usage period, and information about a gift sender.
Referring to
For example, the server 10 may receive details such as “Starting a diet!” 910 from the first user terminal 20. In this case, the server 10 may display a reaction content related to “diet” (e.g., “running, weight scale, and weight training emoticons” 920) at the top of the candidate reaction contents on the first user terminal 20. In some cases, the first user terminal 20 may display such a reaction content (e.g., “running, scale, and strength training emojis” 920) on the reaction interface 930.
Although not shown in the drawings, the first user terminal 20 may transmit a request to the server 10 to select at least one other reaction content as a custom reaction content, rather than the reaction content 920 related to the specific details.
The first user terminal 20 may display information 940 indicating that reaction contents corresponding to a text have been recommended on the first user's profile screen. For example, the first user terminal 20 may display guide information around the candidate reaction contents, such as “Reaction contents suitable for the text have been recommended.” 940.
Referring to
For example, the characteristic of the object may correspond to a posting time of the object. Specifically, the first user terminal 20 may transmit a request to the server 10 to create an object including the reaction content 1010. When the posting time of the object meets a predetermined condition, the server 10 may provide the reaction content 1010 related to a specific time to the first user terminal 20.
For example, if the posting time of the object corresponds to the “Rainy Season,” the server 10 may provide the reaction content 1010, such as umbrella, rain, and cloud emoticons 1010, related to the “Rainy Season.” In some cases, the first user terminal 20 may display the reaction content 1010 related to the specific time in priority over the candidate reaction contents. In some cases, the first user terminal 20 may display such a reaction content (e.g., the umbrella, rain, and cloud emoticons 1010) on a reaction interface 1020.
In another example, the characteristic of the object may correspond to a type of the object. Specifically, the object may be related to challenges, empathy, celebration, support, praise, etc. In such cases, the server 10 may provide a reaction content related to a specific type to the first user terminal 20.
The first user terminal 20 may display information 1030 indicating that reaction contents corresponding to the characteristic of the object have been recommended on the first user's profile screen. For example, the first user terminal 20 may display guide information around the candidate reaction contents, such as “Reaction contents suitable for the rainy season is automatically recommended!” 1030.
