Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of displaying an e-mail received during a chat by associating a chat system with an e-mail center, an information communication system used to execute the method, and an e-mail center. , A chat server, and a recording medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For e-mail, a storage area called a mailbox is provided in an e-mail center as a host computer for the number of recipients, and a terminal connected to the e-mail center via a public line network. Document information specifying a recipient is received from the device, written in a mailbox corresponding to the designated recipient, and the recipient exchanges information by reading the document information from the mailbox to a terminal device. Electronic mail.

[0003] Since the recipient of the e-mail can receive the e-mail at a convenient time, the reception (incoming call) of the e-mail does not interrupt the on-going business such as a telephone call and is comfortable. It is. For the sender, as described above, the convenience of the receiver is maintained, so that it is not necessary to care about the arrival time, and the sender can use it easily.

On the other hand, there is a chat system as a means for exchanging information. This is because a chat server, which is a host computer, and a plurality of terminal devices are connected via a public line, and the chat server immediately transmits a message received from the terminal device to another terminal device so that each terminal can be connected to each terminal device. This realizes a "conversation" in characters between operators operating the apparatus. The chat system displays the content of the message and the name of the speaker on the terminal device in association with each other. Therefore, even if a plurality of remarks are made at a time, the contents of the remarks are transmitted to the other operators without fail and the exchange of opinions proceeds smoothly. In addition, since the contents of the remark displayed on the terminal device can be left as text data as it is, the minutes of the meeting can be easily created from the text data.

[0005] Therefore, the chat system can be said to be suitable for applications in which the participants discuss their opinions with each other and compose a policy. However, it is difficult to restrict time as in the case of telephone. When the content to be conveyed is a coherent document, the above-mentioned e-mail may be more suitable. For this reason, it has been customary to use e-mail for normal information exchange, and to use a chat system when performing simple communication or setting up a policy.

[0006]

Therefore, there are many cases where the contents of e-mails received in the past are taken up as chat topics. However, in such a situation, if a chat participant other than the speaker who provided the topic does not recognize the content of the e-mail, smooth communication is hindered. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and presents a received e-mail by linking a chat system and an e-mail center when a predetermined keyword appears in a chat comment. An object of the present invention is to provide an e-mail display method, an information communication system, an e-mail center, a chat server, and a recording medium used for the method.

[Table 2]

The operation procedure of the electronic mail display method, the information communication system, the electronic mail center and the chat server according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a timing chart showing a situation where mul using the terminal device A and youchan using the terminal device B are chatting with each other using the information communication system of the present invention. It is assumed that both mul and youchan have received the same e-mail from the same user, and that the speaker mul knows that the listener youchan has received the e-mail.

(1) Mul uses the chat tool of the terminal device A to say, "I'm just talking about the email, but can I ask a little question?" (2) The chat server accepts the message of mul and transfers the accepted message to the terminal devices of all users who are chatting at this time (in this case, only terminal device B) with the user ID of the speaker. I do. (3) The message received by the terminal device B is displayed. (4) After transferring the message, the chat server analyzes the content of the message. For that purpose, first, the trigger keyword of the speaker, that is, mul is obtained from the user information. (5) Compare the trigger keyword of mul with the content of the statement. If multiple trigger keywords are set, set them to 1
Take out one by one and compare. Here, the trigger keyword "I'm in the mail" is detected.

(6) When the trigger keyword is included, the selected keyword is acquired from the user information. (7) Compare the selected keyword of mul with the comment content. When a plurality of selected keywords are set, they are extracted one by one and compared. Here, the selected keyword “soon ago” is detected. (8) Since both the trigger keyword and the selected keyword have been detected, the user who is currently connected from the user connection status table to present an e-mail to the users participating in the chat (in this case, only mul and youchan) (mul, yo
uchan) to identify and get the email address.

(9) Chat server to e-mail center
mul (ABC00129) issues a command to present the latest e-mail received to mul's terminal device (terminal device A) and youchan's terminal device (terminal device B) (30th invention). (10) The e-mail center that has received the e-mail presentation instruction specifies and reads out the most recently received e-mail from the mailbox of mul, and transfers it to the terminal device A of mul. Also, the e-mail with the same ID is read from the mailbox of youchan, and this is read to the terminal device B of youchan.
(29th invention). (11) Display the e-mail received by terminal devices A and B
(First, 2, 3, 4, 14, 16, 17, 19, and 20 inventions). still,
In step (10), instead of the most recently received e-mail, the most recently transmitted e-mail may be used.
(30th invention).

A character string in the form of “month / day” is set as a selection keyword of the user information in place of the word meaning latest, and a trigger keyword is detected in step (5). In (7), when a character string of this format (fourth keyword) is detected, an e-mail issued on that date may be presented to both the mul and youchan terminal devices (the fifth, the twenty-second, and the twenty-second inventions). ). Instead of the word indicating the latest as the selected keyword of the user information, a character string in the format of “○ days ago” is set, the trigger keyword is detected in step (5), and this keyword is detected in step (7). When the format string is detected, the date when the e-mail was received from the built-in calendar of the chat server is obtained, and the e-mail issued on that date may be presented to both the mul and youchan terminal devices (No. 6, 23 inventions).

In addition, IDs of all e-mails in the speaker's mailbox are set as selection keywords,
When the trigger keyword is detected in step (5) and the ID is detected in step (7), the
E-mail with ID may be presented (No. 12, 13, 24
Invention). When the trigger keyword is detected in step (5), the chat server inquires of the electronic mail center whether or not the speaker (mul) is displaying the electronic mail on the terminal device (terminal device A). When it is determined that the electronic mail is being displayed, the fact that the electronic mail is being displayed and the ID, the sender and the receiver of the electronic mail are disclosed to the chat server.

Then, the chat server listens to the sender or receiver of the e-mail for the user (youchan).
May be presented to the terminal device (terminal device B) of the user (youchan) (the eleventh and twenty-fifth inventions). In step (9), mul
And the latest e-mail among the e-mails received by youchan may be presented to both mul and youchan terminal devices (the eighth invention). When there are a plurality of e-mails to be presented, a list of those e-mails may be displayed (the tenth and eighteenth inventions).

Also, a nickname or name of a chat participant is set as a selected keyword,
When the trigger keyword is detected in (5) and the nickname or name is detected in step (7), the e-mail address of the user is obtained. Then, the e-mail transmitted from the e-mail address to the speaker may be presented to the user and the terminal device of the speaker (the seventh and ninth inventions).
