Abstract

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method and system of providing an instant message service are provided. Combined data is generated through a first terminal. The combined data is transmitted to a server through a network. The transmitted combined data is stored in a database of the server in a predetermined format. A first text is entered through the first terminal. The entered first text is transmitted to the server. Whether the combined data matches the first text is determined. When the combined data matches the first text, the combined data is transmitted to the first terminal and a second terminal that communicates with the first terminal.

Claims

1. A method of providing an instant message service, the method comprising:

generating combined data through a first terminal;

transmitting the combined data to a server through a network and storing the combined data in a database of the server in a predetermined format;

entering a first text through the first terminal and transmitting the first text to the server;

determining whether the combined data matches the first text; and

when the combined data matches the first text, transmitting the combined data to the first terminal and a second terminal that communicates with the first terminal.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

uploading a first image to the server;

uploading a second image to the server;

entering a second text and storing the second text in the server;

entering a period and storing the period in the server; and

storing the first image, the second image, the second text, and the period in association with one another.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the data format is configured in an order of the second text, the first image, the second image, and the period.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein when the combined data does not match the first text, the first text is transmitted to the first terminal and the second terminal.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the generated combined data is stored in the first terminal.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

uploading a first image to the server;

uploading a second image to the server;

entering a second text and storing the second text in the server;

storing a predetermined default period in the server; and

storing the first image, the second image, the second text, and the default period in association with one another.

7. A system of providing an instant message service, the system comprising:

a first terminal configured to generate combined data; and

a combined data server configured to store the combined data in a database of the combined data server in a predetermined format, wherein the combined data server is configured to receive a first text entered from the first terminal, to determine whether the combined data matches the first text, and when the combined data matches the first text, to transmit the combined data to the first terminal and a second terminal that communicates with the first terminal.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the first terminal is configured to upload a first image to the server, to upload a second image to the server, to enter a second text and store the second text in the server, to enter a period and store the period in the server, and wherein the combined data server is configured to store the first image, the second image, the second text, and the period in association with one another.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the data format is configured in an order of the second text, the first image, the second image, and the period.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein when the combined data does not match the first text, the first text is transmitted to the first terminal and the second terminal.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the generated combined data is stored in the first terminal.
