In general, the Internet is an open network configured to freely connect and use a common protocol called TCP / IP to a remote computer to be accessed anywhere in the world and to anyone. It is an open network that not only transmits basic character information but also develops compression technology, And various services such as e-mail, file transfer, and World Wide Web (WWW), which are used for delivering the service, can be used.

As the use of the internet has rapidly increased in Korea and the world, the importance of the Internet has been rapidly increasing as a strategic tool for improving efficiency and productivity throughout the existing industries. As a result, new business opportunities through the Internet have been continuously created , And the number of Internet service providers is also increasing.

In recent years, users who need various communication communicate with homepage, e-mail, telephone ARS (Auto Response Service), etc. However, homepage and e-mail are inferior in real-time communication in customer communication. However, there is a disadvantage that the communication cost is heavy for the user.

On the other hand, there is an instant messenger (i.e., a messenger) as a useful method for real-time transmission of information using the Internet. The purpose of messenger is to deliver a simple message between users in real time. The messenger can talk in real time through the letters that are transmitted as if the two users talk directly. This is because the messenger itself attaches importance to the real-time nature of the message and immediately transmits the input contents.

Such a messenger client program not only provides a function of transmitting a message but also provides a function of transmitting an emoticon, a flash cone, a gift cone or the like to a conversation partner through a messenger conversation window or a file using a conversation window.

It also provides a group chat feature that allows not only 1: 1 chat but also chatting with multiple people in one chat window. For the group conversation, the messenger client program must select a plurality of conversation partners and request a conversation to create a group conversation window or add a conversation person in the opened conversation window.

Meanwhile, in recent years, the messenger service has provided various types of extended services beyond a simple chat function.

For example, as a technique related to a method for creating a group chat room, a chat system that can be interfaced with a stock trading system is disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2010-0095205, "Chat Providing System (Sync Pool Inc.) Even if there is no request to open a chat room from the stock market, a chat room for each stock item is automatically opened for each of at least one stock. In addition, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2009-0131493, entitled " Method of providing a real-time search query room using the Internet (Minho Kim) "(Document 2), forms a chat room between users, And a chat window can be provided.

In addition, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-0022462 entitled "E-mail transmission-based chatting method (Bongbrae)" (Document 3) and Korean Patent Publication No. 2003-0072844 entitled "E-mail based chat participation induction method" 4), an e-mail is sent to the other party who wants to chat using e-mail, and the other party receiving the e-mail can provide a chat service between the user who has sent the e-mail and the user who has received the e- do.

Recently, a method of providing a service linked to an external service through a chat window of an IM is also proposed.
