Mediating method and device
A mediating method by a mediating device comprises receiving a first list including at least one item from a first terminal and receiving at least one list from at least one terminal different from the first terminal, searching for a list including an item corresponding to at least one item among the at least one item of the first list, among the received at least one list, and transmitting information on the corresponded item, according to a result of the search, to each of the first terminal and a terminal which provides the list including the item corresponding to the at least one item among the at least one terminal.
1. A mediating method in a mediating device, the method comprising:
receiving a first list including at least one item from a first terminal;
receiving at least one other list including at least one item from each of a plurality of terminals different from the first terminal;
identifying, among the at least one other list, a second list including a set of same items as the first list, wherein a number of same items in the set of same items is equal to or higher than a reference number and the second list is associated with a second terminal of the plurality of terminals;
establishing a video call session between the first terminal and the second terminal selected among the plurality of terminals; and
transmitting information on at least one same item of the set of same items to each of the first terminal and the second terminal such that the information on the at least one same item is displayed in the form of image or text on the first terminal and the second terminal in order to provide a first user of the first terminal and a second user of the second terminal with conversation topics.
2. The mediating method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one same item included in the first list corresponds to at least one of gender information, private area information, school information, hobby information, specialty information, interest information, and religion information of the first user of the first terminal.
3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing a mediating method of claim 1 .
4. A mediating device comprising:
an input/output interface configured to receive a first list including at least one item from a first terminal, and receive at least one other list including at least one item from each of a plurality of terminals different from the first terminal;
a controller configured to:
identify, among the at least one other list, a second list including a set of same items as the first list, wherein a number of same items in the set of same items is equal to or higher than a reference number and the second list is associated with a second terminal of the plurality of terminals;
establish a video call session between the first terminal and the second terminal selected among the plurality of terminals; and
transmit information on at least one same item of the set of same items to each of the first terminal and the second terminal such that the information on the at least one same item is displayed in the form of image or text on the first terminal and the second terminal in order to provide a first user of the first terminal and a second user of the second terminal with conversation topics; and
a memory configured to store the first list and the at least one other list.
5. The mediating device of claim 1 , wherein the first list and the second list each comprises a rank-assigned list of items.
6. The mediating device of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to identify the second list by:
assigning a score for each rank-assigned item of the first and second rank-assigned lists of items; and
identifying set of same items based on the assigned scores for the rank-assigned item of the first and second rank-assigned lists of items.
7. The mediating device of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
calculate a satisfaction level of a user of the first terminal during the first video communication; and
adjust a priority rank of the at least one same item in the rank-assigned list of items based on the calculated satisfaction level.
8. The mediating method of claim 1 , wherein the first list and the second list each comprises a rank-assigned list of items.
9. The mediating method of claim 8 , wherein identifying the second list comprises:
assigning a score for each rank-assigned item of the first and second rank-assigned lists of items; and
identifying the set of same items based on the assigned scores for the rank-assigned item of the first and second rank-assigned lists of items.
10. The mediating method of claim 8 further comprising:
calculating a satisfaction level of a user of the first terminal during the first video communication; and
adjusting a priority rank of the at least one same item in the rank-assigned list of items based on the calculated satisfaction level.
