DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing an instant message service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the calling terminal 101 can forward an instant message to the instant messaging server 102 to the receiving terminal 103. At this time, a browsing condition that the receiving terminal 103 must satisfy in order to view the instant message through the calling terminal 101 can be set.

Here, the instant message may be composed only of text, or an image, a moving picture, etc. may be combined with the text or independently. The instant message described in the present invention may include any type of data to be sent from the calling terminal 101 to the receiving terminal 103. [

The browsing condition and the instant message set by the calling terminal 101 are transmitted to the instant message server 102. Then, the instant message server 102 can transmit the browsing condition to the receiving terminal 103 together with the arrival notification that the instant message has arrived.

The receiving terminal 103 can confirm the instant message of the calling terminal 101 transmitted to the instant message server 102 when the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the viewing condition set through the calling terminal 101. [ Such a browsing condition may be displayed on the receiving terminal 103, hidden, and not displayed on the receiving terminal 103. [

For example, the instant message server 102 can confirm whether the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing conditions (FIG. 2). As another example, whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition can be confirmed by the receiving terminal 103 itself (FIG. 3). The receiving terminal 103 can not confirm the instant message transmitted from the calling terminal 101 to the instant message server 102 until the viewing condition set through the calling terminal 101 is satisfied.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an instant message service providing method for checking a browsing condition in an instant messaging server according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In step 201, an instant message may be created via the calling terminal 101. [ In step 202, a browsing condition through which the receiving terminal 103 can display an instant message can be set via the calling terminal 101. [ Thereafter, in step 203, the calling terminal 101 can transmit the instant message and the browsing condition to the instant message server 102. [

In step 204, the instant message server 102 may store the instant message received from the calling terminal 101 and the viewing conditions. In step 205, the instant message server 102 may not transmit the body of the instant message to the receiving terminal 103, but may transmit only the arrival notification and the viewing condition that the instant message has arrived to the receiving terminal 103. [

In step 206, the receiving terminal 103 may display an arrival notification of the instant message received from the instant message server 102. [ The receiving terminal 103 having received the arrival notification of the instant message can not immediately display the contents of the instant message. Then, in step 207, the receiving terminal 103 can periodically or irregularly transmit the condition data to the instant message server 102 by the receiving terminal 103. [ Alternatively, when the menu or the identifier displayed with the arrival notification of the instant message is selected through the user's click, or when an input related to the " condition check " for the instant message is generated at the receiving terminal 103, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 102 < / RTI >

In this case, the condition data in the embodiment of FIG. 2 means data that the instant message server 102 collects or confirms through the receiving terminal 103 to determine whether the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition can do. For example, when the viewing condition is the designated area, the receiving terminal 103 can transmit the condition data including the current position measured through the GPS sensor installed in the interior to the instant message server 102. As a result, the condition data transmitted to the instant message server 102 may be different according to the viewing condition.

In step 208, the instant message server 102 can use the condition data to determine whether the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition. If the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition, the instant message server 102 may transmit an instant message to the receiving terminal 103 in step 209. [ Then, in step 211, the receiving terminal 103 can display the instant message received from the instant message server 102 through the display.

On the other hand, when the receiving terminal 103 does not satisfy the browsing condition, in step 210, the instant message server 102 transmits a check result of the browsing condition that the receiving terminal 103 does not satisfy the browsing condition of the instant message To the receiving terminal (103). According to another embodiment, the instant message server 102 may not transmit the check result of the browsing condition to the receiving terminal 103. [

Accordingly, the receiving terminal 103 repeatedly transmits the condition data to the instant message server 102 until the browsing condition is satisfied, and the instant message server 102 does not transmit the condition data until the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition And can transmit the instant message created through the terminal 101 to the receiving terminal 103. [

In step 212, the receiving terminal 103 transmits information about the viewing confirmation of the instant message indicating whether or not the receiving terminal 103 has displayed an instant message for the instant message received from the instant message server 102, To the message server 102. Then, in step 213, the instant message server 102 may forward the information about the read confirmation of the instant message to the calling terminal 101. According to another embodiment, the instant message server 102 may not forward information about the read confirmation of the instant message.

Although not shown in FIG. 2, if the receiving terminal 103 does not satisfy the browsing condition until such a number of times passes after the number of times that the receiving terminal 103 determines whether the browsing condition is satisfied, The instant message server 102 may delete the instant message or return the instant message to the calling terminal 101. [ At this time, the instant message server 102 may notify the receiving terminal 103 of the fact of the deletion of the instant message or the return of the instant message.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an instant message service providing method for checking browsing conditions at a receiving terminal according to an exemplary embodiment.

3 shows a case where the receiving terminal 103 checks the browsing conditions by itself, unlike FIG. When the calling terminal 101 transmits an instant message to the instant message server 102, the instant message server 102 can transmit the instant message browsing condition together with the instant message to the receiving terminal 103 immediately. However, the receiving terminal 103 can not substantially display the body of the instant message until the reading condition of the instant message is satisfied.

In step 301, an instant message may be created via the calling terminal 101. [ Then, in step 302, a browsing condition through which the receiving terminal 103 can display an instant message can be set via the calling terminal 101. [ Thereafter, in step 303, the calling terminal 101 can transmit the instant message and the browsing condition to the instant message server 102. [

In step 304, the instant message server 102 may store instant messages received from the calling terminal 101 and viewing conditions. Then, in step 305, the instant message server 102 may transmit an instant message and a notification condition of the instant message to the receiving terminal 103. [

At step 306, the receiving terminal 103 may display an arrival notification of the instant message received from the instant message server 102. [ 3, the instant message server 102 directly transfers the instant message to the receiving terminal 103. [ However, the receiving terminal 103 actually displays only the arrival notification that the instant message has arrived via the display, but does not display the body of the instant message. That is, even if the receiving terminal 103 receives the instant message, it can not display the contents of the instant message until the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message.

Thereafter, in step 307, the receiving terminal 103 can periodically or irregularly determine whether the viewing condition of the instant message set through the calling terminal 101 itself is satisfied.

If the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the viewing condition of the instant message, the receiving terminal 103 can display the already received instant message through the display in step 308. [ If the receiving terminal 103 does not satisfy the viewing condition of the instant message, the receiving terminal 103 can repeatedly execute the step 307 until the viewing condition of the instant message is satisfied.

In step 309, the receiving terminal 103 transmits information about the viewing confirmation of the instant message indicating whether or not the receiving terminal 103 has displayed an instant message for the instant message received from the instant message server 102, To the message server 102. Then, in step 310, the instant message server 102 can forward information on the confirmation of the instant message to the calling terminal 101 by forwarding it. According to another embodiment, the instant message server 102 may not forward information about the read confirmation of the instant message.

Although not shown in FIG. 3, if the receiving terminal 103 does not satisfy the browsing condition until the number of times that the receiving terminal 103 determines whether or not the viewing condition is satisfied is set in advance, Delete the instant message, or return the instant message to the calling terminal 101. [ Then, the receiving terminal 103 can display the fact of the deletion of the instant message or the return of the instant message through the display.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the number of cases can be divided into four cases as follows depending on whether information on browsing condition confirmation subject and instant message browsing confirmation is transmitted to the calling terminal 101. [

Here, FIG. 2 corresponds to the second and FIG. 3 corresponds to the fourth. If steps 212 and 213 are not performed in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 corresponds to the first. Similarly, if steps 309 and 310 are not performed in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 corresponds to the third.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying an arrival notification of an instant message together with a waiting identifier according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4A, it is possible to display an arrival notification that an instant message created through the calling terminal 101 has arrived at the receiving terminal 103. [ According to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 2, the instant message created through the calling terminal 101 is not transmitted to the receiving terminal 103, but only the arrival notice that the viewing condition of the instant message and the instant message arrive can be transmitted. 3, even if the viewing conditions of the instant message and the instant message transmitted by the calling terminal 101 are transmitted to the receiving terminal 103, the receiving terminal 103 can directly display the instant message You can display only arrival notifications that an instant message arrived without displaying the body text.

In addition, referring to FIG. 4A, the receiving terminal 103 can display the waiting identifier together with the arrival notification indicating that the instant message transmitted by the calling terminal 101 has arrived.

Here, the idle identifier may be an identifier for expressing the passage of time in an animation form after the receiving terminal 103 displays an arrival notification that an instant message has arrived. The user of the receiving terminal 103 can determine whether the time has elapsed from the arrival notification of the instant message by checking the waiting identifier.

In Figure 4A, the waiting identifier is represented by an hourglass. Alternatively, the waiting identifier may be represented by a calendar representing the D-Day. Alternatively, the waiting identifier may be expressed as a clock representing the time of day in units of seconds, minutes, or hours. In addition, the atmospheric identifier is represented by an ice cream, and an animation that gradually dissolves over time can be expressed together.

In FIG. 4A, the receiving terminal 103 can additionally display a guide for confirming the viewing condition of the instant message together with the arrival notification of the instant message. In this manner, the receiving terminal 103 can display the viewing condition so that it can be confirmed, but conversely, the viewing condition can be hidden and not displayed.

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 4B, when the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition, the receiving terminal 103 can display the body of the instant message. At this time, according to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 2, the receiving terminal 103 transmits the condition data to the instant message server 102 so that the instant message server 102 can determine whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message. To the instant message server 102. When the instant message server 102 determines that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition through the condition data, the receiving terminal 103 can receive the instant message from the instant message server 102 and display it have.

According to the embodiment described in FIG. 3, the receiving terminal 103 can judge whether or not the viewing condition of the instant message is satisfied by itself. If the receiving terminal 103 determines that the viewing condition of the instant message is satisfied, the receiving terminal 103 can display the instant message already received from the instant message server 102.

The following FIGS. 5 to 14 illustrate browsing conditions of various instant messages applicable to the present invention. The browsing conditions may relate to time, place, specific situation, content, physical characteristics of the receiving terminal 103, and the like.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a case where a viewing condition of an instant message according to an embodiment is later than a designated time.

Here, the fact that the designated time has elapsed means that the designated time has elapsed from the time when the receiving terminal 103 displays the arrival notification of the instant message. At this time, the designated time can be set to seconds, minutes, hours, as well as days.

Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message If the time has elapsed after the designated time has elapsed from the instant at which the arrival notice of the instant message is displayed at the receiving terminal 103, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition. Then, the instant message is not displayed as shown in FIG. 5A. After the reception terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition as shown in FIG. 5B, the reception terminal 103 can display the instant message.

For example, it is assumed that an arrival notification of an instant message is displayed on the receiving terminal 103 at 9:00 am on October 10, 2014. The arrival notification of the instant message may be an arrival notification of an instant message transmitted from the instant message server 102 to the receiving terminal 103 after the instant message created through the calling terminal 101 arrives at the instant message server 102 have. Alternatively, the arrival notification of the instant message may be an arrival notification of the instant message displayed by the receiving terminal 103 when the instant message created through the calling terminal 101 is transmitted to the receiving terminal 103 via the instant message server 102 Lt; / RTI > It is assumed that the designated time is 3 hours. Then, the receiving terminal 103 can read the body of the instant message at 12:00 pm on October 10, 2014, which satisfies the browsing condition.

If an instant message can be viewed in the browsing condition, the time can be set. At this time, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message If the viewpoint is included in the viewable time period of the instant message, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the viewing condition. If the viewable time is two hours, the receiving terminal 103 can display an instant message from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm on October 10, 2014. When the viewable time set in the browsing condition has elapsed, the receiving terminal 103 can not display the instant message.

6 is a diagram illustrating a case where a viewing condition of an instant message according to an exemplary embodiment is a designated area.

Here, the designation area means an area having a predetermined area set from a preset reference point. At this time, the reference point means a geographical position such as latitude, longitude, and the like. Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message When the receiving terminal 103 is located in the designated area at the time point, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the receiving terminal 103 is located outside the designated area having a radius of 1 km from the reference point A at the time when the arrival notice of the instant message is displayed, It does not display the body of the instant message. However, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the receiving terminal 103 is positioned within the designated area having a radius of 1 km from the reference point A, the receiving terminal 103 displays the body of the instant message because it satisfies the browsing condition .

Here, the reference point may be a specific address, GPS information (latitude, longitude) designated by the calling terminal 101. The designated area can be set in various forms such as a circle, a rectangle, and a triangle from the reference point. The area of the designated area can also be arbitrarily determined according to the setting of the calling terminal 101. [

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a case where a viewing condition of an instant message according to an embodiment is a specific place.

Here, the specific place means a point of interest (POI), a particular building, a main facility, a specific communication device (access point), a transportation facility (aircraft, ship, train, subway, Automobile, etc.). Therefore, the specific place described in FIG. 7 means a point having its own meaning unlike the geographical position described in FIG.

Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message It can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition when the receiving terminal 103 is located inside or outside the specific place at the time. Here, the outside of a specific place may mean an adjacent area from a specific place. The inside of a specific place may be a specific area of a specific place or a specific floor of a specific place.

For example, referring to FIG. 7A, when the receiving terminal 103 is located at a position outside the area adjacent to the specific location at the time when the arrival notification of the instant message is displayed, the receiving terminal 103 does not satisfy the browsing condition I can not display the body of the instant message because I can not. However, if the receiving terminal 103 is located in an area adjacent to a specific place, the receiving terminal 103 can display the body of the instant message because it satisfies the browsing condition.

Alternatively, when the specific location is the access point designated by the calling terminal 101, when the receiving terminal 103 is located in the vicinity of the access point and is WiFi connected with the corresponding access point, the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition Can be judged.

8 is a diagram illustrating a case where a browsing condition of an instant message according to an exemplary embodiment exists in a peripheral terminal.

Here, the neighboring terminal means another terminal which is distinguished from the receiving terminal 103 that displays the arrival notification of the instant message. At this time, the peripheral terminal may be the calling terminal 101. Alternatively, the peripheral terminal may be a terminal carried by another user known by the user of the receiving terminal 103. The peripheral terminal can be specified by inputting the telephone number of the peripheral terminal in the calling terminal 101 or designating an account of the instant messaging service of the peripheral terminal.

Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message It can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition when the receiving terminal 103 is located at a distance adjacent to the peripheral terminal. This peripheral terminal may be one or plural.

As shown in FIG. 8A, when there is no nearby terminal at a distance adjacent to the receiving terminal 103, the receiving terminal 103 can not display the instant message because it does not satisfy the browsing condition. However, if there is a peripheral terminal at a nearby distance from the receiving terminal 103 as shown in FIG. 8B, the receiving terminal 103 can display an instant message because the viewing condition is satisfied.

9 is a diagram showing a case in which a reading condition of an instant message according to an embodiment is a plurality of reading conditions.

The receiving terminal 103 must satisfy a plurality of browsing conditions set by the calling terminal 101 in order to display an instant message created by the calling terminal 101. [ That is, FIG. 9 shows a case where a plurality of browsing conditions are set in a relay format. For example, when a plurality of browsing conditions are set, the receiving terminal 103 needs to sequentially satisfy the browsing conditions in order of displaying the plurality of browsing conditions in order to display an instant message.

Here, the plurality of browsing conditions may be set according to combinations and order of browsing conditions described in the present invention such as time / place, time / peripheral terminal, place / peripheral terminal, time / specific act, place /

Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message It can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition when the receiving terminal 103 confirms the designated instant message at the time.

For example, referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, it is possible to satisfy the browsing condition that the instant message 2 can be displayed only when the instant message 1 displayed by the receiving terminal 103 is confirmed. Referring to FIGS. 9B and 9C, it is possible to satisfy the browsing condition that the instant message 3 can be displayed only after confirming the instant message 2 displayed by the receiving terminal 103. That is, according to FIG. 9, it means that the viewing condition for displaying the previous message is set to a plurality (two).

As described above, the order of sequentially confirming a plurality of instant messages can be set by the calling terminal 101. [ In addition, the instant message that the calling terminal 101 actually wants to transmit to the receiving terminal 103 may be all instant messages placed consecutively, or may be the last instant message. For example, if instant message 1, instant message 2 is an arbitrary instant message, and instant message 3 contains the content that the instant message 3 actually wants to deliver, then the receiving terminal 103 sends instant message 1 containing the advertisement, instant message 2 It is possible to confirm the instant message 3 finally.

10 is a diagram illustrating a case where a browsing condition of an instant message according to an embodiment is a user's action with respect to a receiving terminal.

Here, the user's action may refer to a user's hand gesture (dragging, touching one or a plurality of fingers, swiping, etc.) applied to the display of the receiving terminal 103 displaying an arrival notification of an instant message. Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message When the user's action occurs on the display of the receiving terminal 103 at the time point, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition.

For example, assume that the user's action is a single finger touch. Referring to FIG. 10A, when a touch occurs on the display of the receiving terminal 103 with the user's finger, it is determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition of the instant message. Then, as shown in Fig. 10B, the receiving terminal 103 satisfying the browsing condition can display an instant message. Alternatively, when the user's action draws a predetermined figure, character, symbol, or pattern, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition of the instant message.

When the user's action is applied to the entire display area of the receiving terminal 103, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the viewing condition. Alternatively, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition when the behavior of the user is applied to the display part of the receiving terminal 103 or a part of the identifier (menu, button, icon, etc.).

11 is a diagram illustrating a case in which an instant message browsing condition according to an embodiment is an operation of the receiving terminal itself.

Here, the operation of the receiving terminal 103 itself is not limited to the case where the receiving terminal 103 is rotated by a preset angle by the user of the receiving terminal 103, reversed and then returned, shaken, . ≪ / RTI >

Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message When the operation of the receiving terminal 103 itself occurs at the time point, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition.

For example, it is assumed that the operation of the reception terminal 103 itself is a case where the reception terminal 103 rotates 45 degrees. As shown in Fig. 11A, when the receiving terminal 103 is vertically erected and rotated clockwise by 45 degrees as shown in Fig. 13B, it is determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition of the instant message. Then, as shown in Fig. 11B, the receiving terminal 103 satisfying the browsing condition can display an instant message.

In this way, the operation of the receiving terminal 103 itself can be determined through various sensors built in the receiving terminal 103. Such an operation needs to proceed quickly within a predetermined time. Otherwise, it is difficult to grasp whether the operation of the receiving terminal 103 itself is whether the receiving terminal 103 operates with an intention to satisfy the browsing condition or if it does not operate unintentionally.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a case where a reading condition of an instant message according to an embodiment is a contact of a designating device.

Here, the designation device means that it can be paired with the reception terminal 103 through short-range wireless communication or the like. That is, the designation device may be a device that can contact with the reception terminal 103 or be located at a very close distance from the reception terminal 103 and connect to the reception terminal 103 through short-range wireless communication (such as Bluetooth or NFC) Lt; / RTI > Thus, the designating device can be all of a form in which a communication module for short-range wireless communication is incorporated.

Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message When the designating device contacts the receiving terminal 103 at a point in time or is located below a predetermined distance and the receiving terminal 103 and the designating device are connected to each other via short-range wireless communication, the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition . ≪ / RTI >

For example, assume that the designated device is an ID that contains a local communication module. If the receiving terminal 103 and the designating device are connected to each other via short-range wireless communication after the designating device contacts the receiving terminal 103 as shown in FIG. 12A, if the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message . Then, as shown in Fig. 12B, the receiving terminal 103 satisfying the browsing condition can display an instant message.

13 is a diagram illustrating a case where a viewing condition of an instant message according to an exemplary embodiment is a designated action.

Here, the designation action means a case where the user performs a predetermined action on various types of interfaces (icons, menus, buttons) displayed on the reception terminal 103. In this case, in FIG. 13, the user's action is performed on the interface displayed on the receiving terminal 103, but in FIG. 10, the user's action is applied to the display itself of the receiving terminal 103 .

Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message When the predetermined action is applied to the interface displayed on the receiving terminal 103 at the time point, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition.

For example, when the icon is dragged and moved to the dotted circle in a state where an interface such as an icon is displayed on the receiving terminal 103 as shown in A of FIG. 13, when the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition of the instant message . Then, as shown in Fig. 13B, the receiving terminal 103 satisfying the browsing condition can display an instant message.

Here, the interface may be an idle identifier displayed along with an arrival notification of an instant message displayed on the receiving terminal 103. [

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a case where the browsing condition of an instant message according to an exemplary embodiment is a problem solution.

Here, a given problem solving means asking the user for a correct answer to a given problem, such as a question, a quiz or a capcha. Specifically, the instant message server 102 checks whether or not the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the reading condition of the instant message, or whether the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the reading condition of the instant message When the correct answer to the question is input to the receiving terminal 103 at the time, it can be determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition.

For example, when a correct answer is input by the user in a situation where a problem such as a quiz is displayed on the receiving terminal 103 as shown in FIG. 14A, it is determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition of the instant message . Then, as shown in Fig. 14B, the receiving terminal 103 satisfying the browsing condition can display an instant message.

Unlike the browsing conditions described above, the browsing condition of the instant message includes a specific term, a specific sentence, a specific content, or a content designated by the calling terminal 101 The second instant message created by the terminal may be further forwarded to the instant messaging server 102 (embodiment of FIG. 2) or the receiving terminal 103 (embodiment of FIG. 3). That is, in order for the receiving terminal 103 to display the already delivered first instant message, a second instant message satisfying a specific condition needs to be additionally transmitted to the instant message server 102 or the receiving terminal 103.

Here, the specific term may mean the same keyword as the keyword designated by the calling terminal 101. [ In this case, the specific term may be extended to a keyword having a similar meaning, or a keyword expressed in another language having the same meaning, as well as the same keyword as the keyword designated by the calling terminal 101.

The specific sentence can be determined by a combination of keywords designated by the calling terminal 101. [ In addition, the specific content may indicate the content indicated by the second instant message additionally transmitted to the receiving terminal 103.

The terminal designated by the calling terminal 101 may mean an identifier of the terminal, a telephone number, or a user ID of an instant messaging service. Here, the terminal refers to a terminal in which a second instant message is created, and may be a third party terminal different from the calling terminal 101 or the calling terminal 101.

Specifically, when the instant message server 102 checks whether the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the viewing condition of the first instant message, or when the receiving terminal 103 itself satisfies the viewing condition of the first instant message A specific sentence, a specific content, and a second instant message for a specific sender are transmitted to the receiving terminal 103 or the instant message server 102 at the time of checking whether or not the receiving terminal 103 has received the reading request, It can be determined to be satisfied.

For example, it is assumed that an instant message including a specific term such as "keyword A " Then, in a situation where the first instant message is delivered to the receiving terminal 103 or the instant message server 102, a second instant message including the further "keyword A " is transmitted to the receiving terminal 103 or the instant message server 102, It is determined that the receiving terminal 103 satisfies the browsing condition of the instant message. Then, the receiving terminal 103 that satisfies the browsing condition can display the previously transmitted first instant message.
