{FORUM TYPE USER INTERFACE PROVIDING METHOD FOR POSTED COMMENTS}

The present invention relates to a method of providing a discussion-type comment interface, and more particularly, to an interface configuration for displaying a plurality of posts posted on an online bulletin board in the order of a conventional hierarchical type and a cascade type and displaying the same, The present invention relates to a method of providing a discussion-type comment interface that allows a user to easily grasp the progress of a discussion at a glance by clearly arranging a post relationship in a columnar form.

In general, an online bulletin board is a service that allows users to exchange opinions among users by posting their opinions online or by posting comments on the articles in a comment format.

On the Internet, a bulletin board and a contents management system (CMS) having various types and forms have been constructed and are being provided for various purposes. In this online bulletin board service, a system for systematically managing a large number of post information and threads to be registered is established, and the purpose is to transmit information more effectively.

In addition, most of the bulletin boards are provided with a function of registering a original post and a comment registering function of a original post, so that a large number of post information is stored and managed in a separate DB server, and a post is effectively displayed on a web page A user interface is also provided to display the post to the bulletin board user via the interface.

The billboard interface of the related art will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, a user interface applied to a conventional bulletin board takes a form in which posts are arranged in a hierarchical manner in the order of registration time, and the posts are displayed in a longitudinal direction.

For example, the primary comment 20 that is registered for the original post 10 is displayed under the original post 10, and the secondary comment 30 that is registered for the primary comment 20 is displayed in the primary comment 20, and the third comment 40 for the second comment 30 is also displayed in the lower part of the second comment 30.

In addition, a plurality of posts are divided and displayed in units of a predetermined number of pages.

The conventional bulletin board interface having the above-described configuration is mostly provided in the same form in the online or mobile internet environment. The user can check the contents of the post through scrolling or moving between pages in order to search a large number of posts, .

Published Patent No. 10 - 2009 - 0047192

The bulletin board interface to which the related art as described above is applied has a form in which posts are displayed in a plurality of rows for each unit and comments for the upper posts are displayed in the lower part or displayed on the right at predetermined intervals.

However, when the number of posts increases, that is, at a level exceeding the range of the length of a row that can be displayed per page, the bulletin board interface to which such conventional technology is applied separates the posts into several pages, There is a problem that you have to check the post.

In particular, if the number of comments on the original post increases and the movement between the pages becomes frequent, the user will have difficulty in identifying the original post or the top post about the comment they are checking, It leads to a lag of time, which causes the usability to deteriorate remarkably.

In addition, in the case of a discussion board in which a specific topic is presented and a variety of opinions are exchanged between the speaker and a large number of users, the original post 10, the first comment 20 on the original post 10, The depth of the comment is deepened as in the second comment (30) and the third comment (40) on the second comment (30) The range of the display width becomes gradually narrower as it goes down to the user, so the accessibility of the user to the post is lowered and eventually it becomes difficult to grasp the topic of the discussion and the progress of discussion between the users.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems,

The original post 100 of the speaker who is posted on the online bulletin board 1, the organizing post 200 of the discussion host with respect to the original post 100, the corrected post 300 of the presentant, A second comment 120 displayed below the first comment 110 and a third comment 130 displayed below the second comment 120 in order of the first comment 110 displayed in the first comment 110, A method of providing a comment interface for displaying a sub-post;

The original post 100 displays the visibility of the original post 100 on the top row of the bulletin board 1 so that the posted topic can be easily grasped by highlighting the visibility of the original post 100 when the bulletin board user enters the bulletin board 1;

The first comment 110, the second comment 120 and the third comment 130 are displayed under each of the corresponding posts. The first comment 110, the second comment 120, the third comment 130, (130) is divided into a plurality of columns in the lower part of the corresponding higher-level posts and displayed;

The rearrangement post 200 and the revision post 300 constitute interfaces for displaying in the lower row of the third comment 130 so that a plurality of posts posted on the bulletin board 1 are divided into rows or columns It is possible to clearly display the post relationship and to allow the bulletin board user to easily grasp the progress of the discussion at a glance.

The present invention provides a user interface that can more effectively display a large number of posts posted on an online bulletin board, thereby allowing a bulletin board user to clearly recognize an organic relationship structure such as a large number of posts and comments at a glance.

Particularly, when discussions such as discussion board are actively exchanged between the speaker, participants of the debate and the moderator, it is easy to make the post such as the original post of the speaker, the first comment of the original post and the second comment of the first comment So that it is possible to conduct an efficient discussion.

In other words, when discussing using the bulletin board, the first speaker and the moderator conducting the discussion are displayed separately. In particular, the words of the speaker and the writers of the speaker are displayed in rows using the entire width of the screen. The structure of the comment is divided into the longitudinal direction and the structure is used. Especially, it is possible to clearly distinguish between each post without explicitly making a remarks on the remarks of the speaker or the remarks of the moderator, .

Meanwhile, the method of providing a discussion-type comment interface of the present invention can be successfully applied not only to a general bulletin board, a discussion board, but also to a system for posting and reviewing papers on-line. It is also possible to construct a panel by limiting the number of participants, It is expected to be more effective when applied to the situation.

For example, in the case of an online thesis submission screening system, it is inevitable that an interface for submitting and reviewing a thesis provides a new screen interface for each post registration function, so that inefficient system operation is inevitable. However, Applying it to the thesis submission examination, it is expected that it will be able to accommodate various examination functions with excellent scalability and reduce the maintenance cost, thereby achieving economical effect.
