Instant messaging applications are among the most preferred applications in order to communicate by users having mobile devices such as smart phone or mobile phone. Users can communicate by sending messages with text, sound, image content to each other over instant messaging applications. Today, users can send and receive message to a plurality of persons on a single chat page by means of the group messaging feature provided to instant messaging applications. In groups created to communicate a plurality of persons included in instant messaging applications, sent messages can be viewed by all users included in the group. Currently, a user included in a group can send alerts to that person in the form of notifications by selecting any user who is included in the group as well and/or tagging that person. Users have to select and/or tag persons individually in order to send alert to a plurality of persons in the same chat group. This leads to problem in group messagings with a lot of users and causes users to lose time.
Therefore, considering the studies and the deficiencies in the state of the art, it is understood that there is need for a system wherein persons requested to be alerted can be gathered under one tag so as to alert a plurality of persons at the same time within the same messaging group.
The Chinese patent document no. CN107347011, an application in the state of the art, discloses a system which ensures that some messages are viewed only by related persons by selecting particular persons in group chats included in an instant messaging application. In the system of the said invention, all contact list of the group is triggered according to the tagging transaction, a transaction selected from the contact list is taken and a target person is determined according to the selected transaction. In this application, all contact lists of the group are triggered according to the tagging transaction at first and then the selected transaction of the contact list is taken and lastly the target person is determined by the selected transaction. A group record is selected to create a group chat in the chat application, a group is created and the group chat is initiated. When a group chat is started, a target person is selected by a pre-set triggering mechanism wherein the triggering mechanism can be a specific identifier or a specific tag. When the selected target person is triggered by the identifier, the group contact list is opened, the command selected in the list is taken and the corresponding person is determined as the target person in this command by the selected command. In the said invention, a system is developed in order to send private messages to specific persons by selecting those persons in group chats included in an instant messaging application and no feature is developed in order to alert a plurality of persons in groups by a single tag.
Summary of the Invention
An objective of the present invention is to realize a system and method developed for the purpose of creating name tag groups wherein a plurality of persons can be included, in group messagings enabling to communicate with a plurality of
persons who are included in instant messaging applications wherein persons can establish voice, written and visual communication with other users.
Another objective of the present invention is to realize a system and method developed for the purpose of ensuring that a plurality of persons are gathered under a single tag and when the said tag is used during chat, each user in that tag group receives alert notification.
