receiving a request from the second terminal to communicate with the first terminal to conduct the first live video chat, wherein the request is generated by selecting the first terminal by a user of the second terminal based on the location of the first terminal and the indication for the first terminal;
bridging the first live video chat between the first and the second terminals;
terminating the first live video chat upon a condition that a first pre-set time period has elapsed for the first live video chat;
increasing a first count for the user of the first terminal for having the first live video chat; and
after receiving a request from the second terminal to conduct a second live video chat by the user of the second terminal with the user of the first terminal within a second pre-set time period after the first live video chat;
increasing a second count for the user of the first terminal for receiving the request for the second live video chat;
transmitting the request for the second live video chat to the first terminal; and
