As described above, the listening time on one channel is limited to a certain period of time, so in order to listen continuously, it may be necessary to use a charging item that is updated at a certain period.

And, as shown in FIG. 11, each channel information may be output together with image objects of currently participating users, number of people, channel number information, and main keyword information. Here, the main keyword may be determined from tag information input from the first user terminal 110 when creating a channel, or may be determined from keywords identified at a certain frequency or more according to voice recognition corresponding to conversation content in the channel. Accordingly, the user can check the topic keywords in the current channel in advance.

And, as shown in FIG. 12, each user terminal 110, 120, and 130 can select an image object for each user on the current interface screen and receive a social networking service corresponding to the selected user. For example, User 1 may be a famous authenticated user for whom real name authentication has been completed, and the third user terminal 130 may select the user's image object and input like, follow, or other various social networking request information. .

The social network service unit 263 may process relationship information based on social networking request information. Relationship information processing may include, for example, follow connection, like renewal, and linking with other social networks.
