FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a chatroom creation method according to at least one example embodiment. The chatroom creation method may be performed by the computer apparatus 200 that implements a server. For example, the server may be a system that provides an instant messaging service to a terminal of a user. For example, the processor 220 of the computer apparatus 200 may be configured to execute a control instruction according to a code of at least one program or a code of an OS included in the memory 210. Here, the processor 220 may control the computer apparatus 200 to perform operations 310 to 340 included in the method of FIG. 3 in response to a control instruction provided from a code stored in the computer apparatus 200.

Referring to FIG. 3, in operation 310, the computer apparatus 200 may provide an instant messaging service. For example, the computer apparatus 200 may be a physical device configured to implement the server that provides the instant messaging service to a plurality of users and may manage a plurality of chatrooms opened by the plurality of users. The computer apparatus 200 may manage the plurality of chatrooms by storing an identifier of each of the chatrooms, identifiers of users joining in each of the plurality of chatrooms, and identifiers of messages sent to and received from each of the plurality of chatrooms to be associated with one another. The computer apparatus 200 may also be configured route each of messages sent to and received from the chatrooms through the instant messaging service to be forwarded to a user of a desired destination.

In operation 320, the computer apparatus 200 may register a chatroom creation condition related to a specific account of the instant messaging service. The chatroom creation condition may be set by an official account and registered to the computer apparatus 200 and/or set and registered by the computer apparatus 200 in association with the connected service. For example, the specific account may include an official account (OA) of the instant messaging service. In this example embodiment, the chatroom creation condition may be set by the official account and registered to the computer apparatus 200. For example, if an administrator that operates the official account inputs conditions through a terminal of the administrator, the input conditions may be registered to the computer apparatus 200 in association with the official account. As another example, the specific account may include an account corresponding to a service connected with the instant messaging service. In this example embodiment, the chatroom creation condition may be set and registered by the computer apparatus 200 in association with the connected service. For example, the chatroom creation condition determined through mutual agreement between a provider of the instant messaging service and a provider of the connected service may be input through the computer apparatus 200. The computer apparatus 200 may register the chatroom creation condition in association with the account corresponding to the connected service.

In operation 330, the computer apparatus 200 may retrieve at least one account of the instant messaging service that meets the chatroom creation condition. For example, the chatroom creation condition may be associated with at least one of (1) at least a portion of user profiles corresponding to the accounts of the instant messaging service, (2) location information received from terminals associated with the accounts of the instant messaging service, and (3) a number of users to join the chatroom. For example, if a chatroom creation condition, “4 males” among “males in their 20s” present in a “place A,” is registered with respect to an official account, the computer apparatus 200 may perform a primary search for accounts present in the “place A” based on (2) location information received from terminals associated with the accounts of the instant messaging service and then may perform a secondary search for an account having a user profile of “male in their 20s” from among the primarily retrieved accounts. Here, four accounts among the secondarily retrieved accounts may be selected as accounts that meet the chatroom creation condition.

In some example embodiments, the computer apparatus 200 may register a chatroom join condition of each of at least a portion of the accounts of the instant messaging service. In some example embodiments, the registering of the chatroom join condition may be performed prior to operation 330. In these example embodiments, the computer apparatus 200 may search for accounts that meet the chatroom creation condition and, at the same time, the chatroom join condition. For example, users to join an automatically created chatroom may have a condition about a chatroom the users desire to join. For example, a user may desire to join only a chatroom related to a specific “place B” or a chatroom related to a specific official account. Such users may set and register their own chatroom join condition in association with their accounts. Depending on example embodiments, the chatroom join condition may be a simple input of a join intent. In these example embodiments, the input of the join intent may be performed during the progress of operation 330 of searching for accounts without advance registration. Here, the computer apparatus 200 may search for accounts that meet all of a chatroom creation condition registered in association with an account that desires to create a chatroom and a chatroom join condition registered by a participant that is an entity joining the chatroom. Also, with respect to each of accounts that register a specific account as a friend among the accounts of the instant messaging service, the computer apparatus 200 may register a chatroom join condition for allowing a corresponding account to join a chatroom to be automatically created in association with the specific account. For example, the chatroom join condition may be registered in association with a corresponding user account such that the chatroom join condition is determined to be met with respect to the chatroom automatically created in association with the specific account if the specific account of the instant messaging service is registered as a friend by the user of the instant messaging service. For example, if a user 1 adds an official account 1 as a friend, a chatroom join condition for allowing the user 1 to join chatrooms automatically created in association with the official account 1 may be registered in association with an account of the user 1.

As another example, if a specific account is invited to a specific chatroom, the computer apparatus 200 may register a chatroom join condition for allowing a corresponding user to join a chatroom to be automatically created in association with the specific account with respect to at least one of the accounts joined in the specific chatroom. For example, if the specific account of the instant messaging service is invited to the chatroom by the user of the instant messaging service, the computer apparatus 200 may register a chatroom join condition in association with at least one user account joining the corresponding chatroom such that the chatroom join condition is determined to be met with respect to a chatroom to be automatically created in association with the specific account. For example, if a user 2 invites an official account 2 to a chatroom joined by a user 2, user 3, and a user 4, a chatroom join condition for allowing at least one of the user 2, the user 3, and the user 4 to join chatrooms automatically created in association with the official account 2 may be registered in association with an account of at least one of the user 2, the user 3, and the user 4.

In operation 340, the computer apparatus 200 may create a chatroom of the specific account joined by the retrieved accounts. For example, the computer apparatus 200 may create a chatroom by automatically inviting the retrieved accounts through a bot corresponding to the specific account. In the chatroom, users meeting a condition desired by an entity that creates the chatroom may gather. Therefore, the entity that creates the chatroom may provide intended information to users that meet the condition desired by the entity or may recommend contents sharable among users joining the chatroom. For example, users desiring car-sharing in a specific region may gather in a chatroom and be provided with a car-sharing service. In this case, since the users gather in the chatroom, the users may share opinions about the car-sharing service. Also, since users having a common matter of interest automatically gather in a single chatroom, the users may discuss various shared content, such as, for example, a joint purchase of a product or a service account.

FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a chatroom creation process according to at least one example embodiment. Referring to FIG. 4, a server 410 may be a system that provides an instant messaging service between user accounts 420 or between the user accounts 420 and an official account 430 that is an official account A. Here, through the server 410, a plurality of chatrooms joined by at least one account may be created, deleted, and maintained, and messages exchanged in the chatroom may be routed.

The official account 430 may register a chatroom creation condition to the server 410. Likewise, at least a portion of the user accounts 420 may register a chatroom join condition. For example, the server 410 may create an automatically created chatroom 1 440 by searching for and verifying user accounts that meet all of the chatroom creation condition and the chatroom join condition, and by automatically inviting the retrieved accounts through a bot corresponding to the official account A. Here, content and/or a service of the official account A may be provided to the automatically created chatroom 1 440. The content and/or the service may be determined based on a chatroom creation purpose. For example, if a chatroom is joined by accounts of four individuals in their 20s among individuals in their 20s present in a specific place A, a coupon available for 4 users in association with the specific place A may be provided. As another example, information or a function for a delivery service associated with the specific place A may be provided through the chatroom. Also, discussion about content or a service may be made through conversations between users joining a chatroom that is automatically created.

FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a chatroom creation process according to at least one example embodiment. Referring to FIG. 5, services connected with the instant messaging service provided from the server 410 may be present. The services provided from the server 410 may be provided in addition to the content and/or services provided by the official account 430 of FIG. 4. For example, a variety of services, such as a game service or a gift shop, associated with the instant messaging service, may be present. For example, a chatroom creation condition may be set and registered by the server 410. FIG. 5 illustrates an example of registering, by the server 410, a chatroom creation condition about an account 510 of a connected service B. Likewise, at least a portion of the user accounts 420 may register a chatroom join condition. Here, the server 410 may be configured to create an automatically created chatroom 2 520 for the account 510 of the connected service B. The content and/or a service of the connected service B may be provided to the automatically created chatroom 2 520. Discussion about content or a service may be made through conversation between users joining the automatically created chatroom 2 520.

As described above, according to some example embodiments, it is possible to automatically create a chatroom of a specific account joined by accounts meeting a condition set in association with the specific account, based on the condition.
