The patent filed by Kakao Corp proposes a method for providing an interactive game through a computing device processor. The method involves outputting messages through character accounts on a chatting application, with reactions based on user responses. The character account is created when a user signs up for the interactive game, and events related to the character in the game application can lead to the character account being added to the user's friend list.
Additionally, the method includes various reactions based on user messages, such as outputting response messages, indicating whether the character has seen the message, or expressing that the character has not seen the message. The timing of response messages is determined by preset times based on the content of the message. The messages can be generated based on game data, specific conditions, or even through an external server related to the game application. The patent also covers scenarios where messages are displayed in the game application if the chatting application is terminated. Overall, the method aims to enhance user interaction and engagement within the interactive game environment.
