[ 4, when the first user ('user 1') transmits twelve images to the second user ('user 2'), the instant message 410 for each image is displayed in the chat window 400 do.

Then, the interface unit 220 extracts a thumbnail image of the image input by the first user, generates a gathering instant message 420, and displays the collected instant message 420 on the chat window 400. As a result, since the thumbnail image of the image transmitted by the first user to the second user is included in the gathering instant message 420, the second user can view the history of the received image even when a plurality of images are received from the first user .

As described above, even when a plurality of images or data files are transmitted as well as the image shown in FIG. 4, the grouping instant message can be displayed in the chat window through the same process.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when a user selects two or more images, images, or files and inputs an instant message, the interface unit 220 displays a thumbnail image of the image, The instant message may be displayed in a chat window, or an instant message for each selected image, image, or file selected by the user may be displayed in a chat window and then displayed in a chat window.

In addition, when the collecting instant message is received through the chat window, the message input unit 210 of the present invention can retransmit or delete at least one image selected by the user among the thumbnail images of the received collecting instant message.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal providing the instant messaging service of the present invention may be configured to attach the image, image or file contents stored in the mobile terminal more quickly and easily through the simple transfer window of the chat window.

To this end, when the user selects the image input button of the chat window, the message input unit 210 displays the content (image, image or file) stored in the mobile terminal through the simple transfer window of the chat window, And receives at least one content selected by the user from the displayed contents as an instant message.

5 is a screen for inputting an instant message according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the interface unit 220 of the present invention may display a chat window 400, a message input window 510, and a simple transfer window 520. 5, content such as an image, an image, or a file stored in a mobile terminal that can be attached to a chat window by the user can be displayed, and the user can select the content displayed in the simple transfer window 520 So that the contents can be more easily transmitted to other users.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the hide / show button is displayed on the simple transfer window 520 so that the text is not displayed in the chat window when the text is input, and displayed in the chat window when the content is attached. In the simple transfer window 520, 'image', 'image' or 'file' is classified into categories according to the type of contents Can be displayed. Here, when the user selects an image, an image, or a file of the simple transfer window 520, the selected content can be shaded and the selected content can be input as an instant message through the message input window 510.

Hereinafter, a method for providing an instant messaging service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B. A method of providing an instant messaging service according to an embodiment of the present invention may be performed in a mobile terminal providing an instant messaging service. As described above, the mobile terminal 200 providing an instant messaging service includes a message input unit 210 for receiving an instant message from a user, an interface for displaying a chat window on the mobile terminal 200 and displaying an instant message on a chat window, And a communication unit 230 for transmitting and receiving an instant message between the mobile terminal and the server through the server 220 and the server.

6A is a flowchart of a method for providing an instant messaging service according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6A, the message input unit 210 receives an instant message from a user (S102). Here, the instant message may include at least one of text, emoticons, images, images, and files.

In step S104, the interface unit 220 determines whether the instant message selected by the user is two or more images, images or files in step S102. Specifically, step S104 may determine whether an image, an image, or a file has been input, and then determine whether there is more than one input image, image, or file.

If it is determined in step S104 that the inputted instant message is two or more images, images, or files, the interface unit 220 generates a thumbnail image of each of the images selected by the user in step S106. Then, the interface unit 220 synthesizes all the thumbnail images generated in step S106 to generate a gathering instant message (S108), and displays the gathering instant message on the chat window (S110).

Alternatively, if the text or emoticon is input in step S104, or if one image, image, or file is input as an instant message, the instant message is displayed on the chat window in step S112.

According to the instant messaging service providing method of the present invention, when two or more images, images, or files are input as instant messages, each image, image, or file is not displayed as an instant message in the chat window, Only aggregate instant messages containing all images, images, or thumbnail images for each file are displayed in the chat window. However, as will be described later, it is also possible to display an image, an image or a file selected by the user as an instant message on the chat window, and display the gather instant message on the chat window.

6B is a flowchart of a method for providing an instant messaging service according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6B, when the message input unit 210 receives an instant message from the user (S202), the interface unit 220 displays the received instant message on the chat window (S204).

Then, it is determined whether or not the instant message input through step S202 is more than two images, images or files (S206). If it is determined in step S206 that two or more images, images or files are input as instant messages The interface unit 220 generates a thumbnail image for each of the images selected by the user (S208).

Then, the interface unit 220 synthesizes all the thumbnail images generated in step S208 and generates a gathering instant message (S210).

Finally, the interface unit 220 displays the grouping instant message on the chat window (S212).

As described above, unlike FIG. 6A, after the step S202 of receiving the instant message from the user, the instant message is displayed on the chat window by displaying the instant message on the chat window (S204) As soon as it is displayed, a gathering instant message of the transferred image, image or file can be displayed in the chat window.

 According to the present invention, in providing an instant messaging service, when a user selects two or more contents stored in the mobile terminal and transmits the selected contents to another user, the user not only displays the contents as an instant message on the chat window, The collected instant message is displayed on the chat window so that all the transmitted contents can be collectively checked, so that the details of the received contents can be easily confirmed even when a large number of contents are received.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, But the present invention is not limited thereto.
