8. The server of claim 1, wherein the business card page storing module stores the business card page for each language.

16. The cloud server of claim 1, wherein the business card page of the user includes multiple business card pages corresponding to multiple IDs/email addresses of the same user and the multiple business card pages include business information having different properties.

17. The cloud server of claim 1, wherein:

the business card page of the user includes a plurality of business card information and the plurality of business card information is exposed or not exposed according to an exposure level, and

the control module controls the exposure level differently according to authentication of the counterpart terminal or an authentication level of the counterpart terminal.

18. The cloud server of claim 1, further comprising:

a counterpart editing/storing module allowing the counterpart terminal to store the counterpart'"'"'s unique memo by editing the business card page of the user to inquire both user information input from the user terminal and memory information input from the counterpart terminal in the business card page of the user.

19. The cloud server of claim 1, wherein:

when the counterpart terminal accesses the cloud server by using at least one of the ID/email address, a detailed address of the business card page is configured to include the ID/email address value, and

when the counterpart terminal accesses the cloud server by using the QR code, the detailed address of the business card page is configured to include values not associated with the ID/email address.
