That is, the SNS providing system 100 may mean a logical combination of hardware and / or software provided to implement the technical idea of the present invention. If necessary, The present invention may be embodied as a set of logical structures for realizing the technical idea of the present invention. In addition, the SNS providing system 100 may mean a set of configurations separately implemented for each function or role for implementing the technical idea of the present invention. For example, the communication module 110, the control module 120, the group score reflecting module 130, the group association degree calculating module 140, the association group specifying module 150, the interest degree calculating module 160 and / The user specific module 170 may be located in different physical devices or may be located in the same physical device. In addition, the communication module 110, the control module 120, the group score reflecting module 130, the group association degree calculating module 140, the association group specifying module 150, the interest calculating module 160 And / or the recommended user specific module 170 may also be located in different physical devices, and configurations located in different physical devices may be organically coupled to realize the functions performed by the respective modules.

In this specification, a module may mean a functional and structural combination of hardware for carrying out the technical idea of the present invention and software for driving the hardware. For example, the module may mean a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for executing the predetermined code, and it does not necessarily mean a physically connected code or a kind of hardware. Can be easily deduced to the average expert in the field of < / RTI >

The control module 120 may include other components included in the SNS providing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention such as the communication module 110, the group score reflecting module 130, 140), association group specific module 150, interest calculation module 160 and / or recommended user specific module 170, etc.). Also, it is possible to control the group page of the group to which the user terminal is connected to be output to the user terminal 200 corresponding to the user.

In one embodiment, the group page may be in the form of a web page provided in response to a request of the user terminal 200. In this case, the web page may include various markup languages (e.g., HTML, XML, XHTML, or SGML) and / or a programming language (e.g., CGI, Java Script, And the user terminal 200 may include a web browser for outputting a group page. In this case, the control module 120 may generate a group page in the form of a web page in the user terminal 200 and transmit the generated group page to the web browser of the user terminal 200. In another embodiment, the user terminal 200 includes a predetermined dedicated program linked to the SNS providing system 100. In this case, the control module 120 may transmit information for configuring the group page to a dedicated program installed in the user terminal 200, and control the group page to be output in the dedicated program.

Meanwhile, the group page may include a group symbol of an association group deeply related to the group accessed by the user, and a user may select a group symbol of the association group displayed on the group page to access the association group This will be described later with reference to FIG.

The communication module 110 may transmit / receive predetermined information to / from the user terminal 200 through a wired / wireless network. For example, the communication module 100 may receive a connection request for a predetermined target group from the user terminal 200, and may transmit the group page of the target group to the user terminal 200. For this purpose, the communication module 110 may include a wired / wireless network interface card (NIC).

The association group specifying module 150 can specify an association group that is related to a predetermined object group (for example, a group accessed by the user) among a plurality of groups formed on the SNS, Module 120 may cause a group symbol corresponding to the specified association group to be displayed on the user terminal 200 corresponding to the user, as described above.

On the other hand, the association group can be specified based on the users who share each other between the groups belonging to the plurality of groups and the target group. Thus, if the two groups are judged to be related to each other by a user sharing between the two groups, the two groups may be related groups.

In one embodiment, the association group may be specified based on the number of users sharing each other. That is, a group having a predetermined number or more of users sharing with the target group may be specified as an association group of the target group, and a predetermined number of groups having a large number of users sharing the target group may be associated with the target group Group.

In another embodiment, the association group specifying module 150 may specify an association group of the object group according to an activity performed by a user who is sharing the objects. That is, the association group specifying module 150 can identify a group in which the users who have subscribed to the target group are active, as an association group of the target group. For example, the association group specifying module 150 can specify a certain number of groups, which the users subscribed to the target group most frequently access, as an association group of the target group. For this, the SNS providing system 100 may include a group score reflecting module 130 and a group association degree calculating module 140.

When the group score reflecting module 130 performs an activity in any one of a plurality of groups to which the user of the SNS subscribes, the activity score corresponding to the activity is displayed on the And can be reflected in the group score corresponding to one. Thus, a group score for a particular group of users may refer to an indicator that indicates the degree to which the user has been active in the particular group. In one embodiment, the group score reflecting module 130 may evaluate the group score only with a particular activity (e.g., access to the group). In this case, the larger the number of times the user accesses a specific group, the larger the group score for the group.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, another method for calculating the group score for each group to which the user subscribes will be described.

The group score reflecting module 130 may previously store an activity score for each action that the user can perform. Referring to FIG. 3, for example, the activity score is 3 points for the group access, 10 points for the writing, 15 points for the photo upload, 20 points for the video or music upload, and 3 points for the comment writing , And -1 for the recommendation and non-recommendation. Thus, a higher activity score can be set for effort or time-consuming activities. In this case, when the user accesses / writes / uploads pictures / uploads video / music / uploads / comments / recommends / refrains from a specific group, the group score reflecting module 130 assigns 3 points / 10 Point / 15 point / 20 point / 3 point / 1 point / -1 point. Accordingly, the group score for the specific group may be changed according to an activity performed by the user in the specific group.

As shown in FIG. 3, a specific user accesses group A 60 times, and group 28 writes 28 times, uploads 14 pictures, uploads 10 videos or music, writes 40 comments, 60 recommendations, 20 meetings The group score of the specific user of the group A is 60 * 3 + 28 * 10 + 14 * 15 + 10 * 20 + 40 * 3 + 60 * 1 + 20 * (- 1) = 1030 days . In this way, group scores for the particular users of group B through group E can be 950, 937, 856 and 708, respectively.

When the group score reflecting module 130 calculates the group score of each user by the affiliation group, the group association degree calculating module 140 calculates the group score of each group by using the group The degree of group association with the target group can be calculated based on the group score of the users who share the target group. That is, the degree of group relation between two groups is calculated according to the degree of activity of the users shared between the two groups, and may be an index indicating how much the two groups are related.

A method of calculating the group association degree by the group score reflecting module 130 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The group score for each of the groups A to N of User 1 to User 8 may be calculated as shown in FIG. 4 according to the above-described method. In FIG. 4, it is assumed that there are eight users of User 1 to User 8 in the SNS, and 14 groups of the groups A to N are formed on the SNS. Of course, a larger number of users can use the SNS, and a larger number of groups may be formed. However, for convenience, the description will be limited to 8 users and 14 groups.

The group association degree calculation module 140 may calculate a group association degree with the target group based on a group score of a user shared between a plurality of group groups formed on the SNS and a predetermined target group .

In one embodiment, for each of a plurality of groups formed on the SNS, the group association degree calculation module 140 calculates a sum of group scores of users shared between the group and a predetermined object group, When the group scores of the users are as shown in FIG. 4, the group association degree between the group A (the target group) and the other groups can be calculated as follows.

Group B shares Group A with 6 users (User 1, User 2, User 3, User 5, User 6, and User 8). Therefore, the group association degree of Group B with Group A is the group score of Group 1 of User 1, the group score of Group 2 of User 2, the group score of Group 3 of User 3, and the group score of Group B of User 5 Score + group score for group B of user 6 + group score for group B of user 8 = 1562.

Group C shares Group A with three users (User 2, User 3, and User 5). Therefore, the degree of group association with group A of group C can be calculated as: group score for group C of User 2 + group score for group C of user 3 + group score for group C of user 5 = 317.

In the same way, the group associations with the group A of the groups D to N can be calculated as shown in FIG.

The method of calculating the group association degree by the group association degree calculation module 140 is not limited to the above example, and may be various. The group association degree calculation module 140 may calculate an average value of group scores of users sharing each other (i.e., a value obtained by dividing the number of sharers by the sum of activity points) as a group association degree with the target group, Accordingly, the group association degree calculation module 140 may calculate the total or average value of the group scores of a part of the shared users rather than all the users sharing the group scores as the degree of group association with the target group.

When the group association degree is calculated as described above, the association group specifying module 150 can specify an association group of the target group based on the group association degree. In the example of FIG. 4, the association group specifying module 150 can identify the group B, the group D, the group F, the group K, and the group N, which are five groups having a high degree of group association, as an association group.

Meanwhile, the control module 120 may cause the group symbol of the specified association group to be placed in the group page of the target group. At this time, the control module 120 may cause at least a part of the arrangement order, size, color, brightness and saturation of the group symbols of the association group to be determined based on the group association degree.

The interest calculation module 160 may calculate the degree of interest for the user based on the number of groups shared with the user and / or the degree of interest for the user, for each of the members of the target group. The degree of interest of the user may be determined based on at least one of the number of accesses to the user's personal page and the number of votes to the user. That is, when a member accesses (accesses) to the personal page of the user, the member is highly interested in the user. Meanwhile, the SNS providing system 100 may provide a predetermined popular voting function. For example, the SNS providing system 100 can provide a function of performing a popular vote several times a day or once a day. In this case, if a member votes a lot to the user, the member can be considered to have a high interest in the user. Therefore, for each of the members of the target group, the interest calculation module 160 may calculate, based on at least one of the number of groups shared with the user, the number of accesses to the user's personal page, The degree of interest for the user can be calculated.

Then, the recommendation user specifying module 170 may specify a recommended user among the members of the target group based on the degree of interest of the user, and the control module 120 may include at least one of the specified recommended users User symbols corresponding to each user may be displayed on the user terminal. For example, the recommended user-specific module 170 may specify a certain number of members having a high degree of interest or a member having a degree of interest greater than a predetermined value among the members of the target group as recommendation users, So that the user's symbol of the user is placed on the group page of the target group.

2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a group page provided to a user terminal in an SNS providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the user accesses (accesses) a predetermined target group among the groups to which the user terminal 200 subscribes through the user terminal 200 or transmits a group page providing request of the target group to the SNS providing system 100, 120 may control the group page of the target group as shown in FIG. 2 to be output to the user terminal 200. In FIG. 2, it is assumed that the target group selected by the user for access is group A.

Referring to FIG. 2, a group page 300 of a group A (i.e., an object group) includes an association group area 310 for displaying an association group associated with the group A (i.e., an object group) A posting UI 330 for posting a post to the selected group, a post display area 350 for displaying a group post of the selected group, a recommendation member area 320 for displaying information on recommended members associated with the user, And a summary information display area 340 for displaying summary information of each post displayed in the post area. The group page 300 shown in FIG. 2 is only an example, and the group page 300 provided by the SNS providing system 100 may include more UI elements. In addition, according to the embodiment, the personal page 300 may include only a part of the UI elements shown in FIG. 2, and the sizes and arrangements of the UI elements may vary. Those who have the knowledge of this can easily understand.

The association group field 310 may include a plurality of group symbols 311 to 315 corresponding to each group included in at least a part of the association group of the group A. [ 4, when the group B, the group D, the group F, the group K, and the group N are specified as the association group of the group A, the association group area 310 has a group- Symbols 311 to 315 of a group corresponding to B, Group K, Group D, Group N and Group F may appear in the group region 310.

Meanwhile, in one embodiment, the group symbol may be in the form of a logo image of each group preset by a group creator or a manager as shown in FIG. 2, but in some embodiments, Color, brightness, and saturation may be determined based on the group association degree of the group corresponding to the group symbol.

As described above, the SNS providing system according to the technical idea of the present invention can recommend to the user an association group related to a predetermined object group. In this case, the recommended association groups may be a group in which the users of the target group are active. A group in which the other members in the group in which the specific user is actively active may be a group that is highly likely to actively use the specific user. Therefore, according to the technical idea of the present invention, it is possible to recommend a group in which users are actively active.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the recommendation member area 320 includes user symbols 321 of USER 4, USER 7, USER 9, USER 2, which are the recommended members of the user specified in the manner described above among the members of the group A.
