Description

How to participate as a member user in a chat room {Method, server and user terminal for participating as a member user in a chat room} The present invention relates to a method in which a user terminal participates as a member user of a chat room. Recently, features that provide different permissions to users participating in chat rooms have become common in chat services. For example, roles and permissions are set differently for regular users and member users by differentiating the actions each user can perform within the chat room. This approach is useful for segmenting the user experience, maintaining order within the chat room, or restricting access to specific functions. As such, differences in user qualifications based on authority are essential for effectively utilizing the various features provided by chat services. Using specific functions requires appropriate permissions, and to do so, users must possess the appropriate qualifications within the chat room. While this system contributes to increasing the efficiency of chat room operations, it can simultaneously increase the role and responsibilities of the operator. If administrators are required to manually grant and manage permissions for each individual user, their workload can increase significantly. Continuous management and supervision of each user become necessary, and the administrator's tasks become more complex as the number of users increases. Furthermore, errors during the permission granting process or inefficient permission management can negatively impact the user experience. For instance, if permissions are granted excessively or insufficiently, it may hinder order within the chat room and disrupt the smooth operation of functions. Therefore, in recent years, there has been an increasing number of technical efforts to automatically distinguish between general users and member users in chat services in order to reduce the burden on operators and improve the efficiency of permission management.
