According to the embodiment of the present invention, the messenger service server can set the time to be deleted for each conversation differently by analyzing the content of the conversation.

The messenger service server can determine the deletion threshold time 800 of the conversation based on the importance of the conversation. The importance of conversation can be determined by various criteria. For example, the indication of laughter such as 'ㅋㅋㅋ', a simple exclamation point, an emoticon, etc. can be set to a relatively low value in the importance of conversation. Conversely, when important information (for example, an account number, a telephone number, and the like is included in a conversation), the importance of conversation including such information can be set to a relatively high value.

The importance level for the conversation between the users can be set and the deletion threshold time of the conversation can be adaptively set differently according to importance.

For example, in the case of a conversation with a party having a relatively frequent conversation, such as a family member or a close friend, a deletion threshold time 800 for deleting data transmitted and / or received with the other party may be set to be relatively long . On the other hand, in the case of a conversation with the other party who is not a family friend or a friend who does not communicate relatively frequently, the deletion threshold time 800 for deleting data transmitted and / or received with the other party may be set to be relatively short.

For example, if you want to buy a laptop, you can find a chat window that lets you buy a laptop by typing the keyword laptop in order to buy a laptop.

At this time, the priority of the chat room can be determined by automatically setting the additional tag information 920 associated with the notebook. For example, additional tag information 920 may be generated based on information on the area where the buyer lives, the age of the purchaser, and the gender of the purchaser, and chat rooms corresponding to the user may be sequentially listed and provided.

Or additional information may be additionally input to the messenger service server by inducing input of the tag information to be input by the purchaser.
