15. A non-transitory computer readable medium including computer-readable instructions that, when executed on a terminal device including at least one processor, cause the terminal device to perform a method comprising:
-
generating a list of a plurality of other terminal devices located within a threshold range from the terminal device via short-range wireless communication; and transmitting, in response to selection of a set of terminal devices from among the plurality of other terminal devices included in the list, a request to establish an association with users corresponding to terminal devices in the selected set of terminal devices.

16. A terminal device comprising:
-
at least one processor configured to execute computer readable instructions to determine whether to accept a request to join a user group including at least one other terminal, the request including a group identifier for a group relationship table associated with the user group; and a transceiver configured to receive the request to join the user group including the at least one other terminal device, and transmit a response to the request, the transmitted response one of accepting and denying the request to join the user group based on the determination by the at least one processor.

17. A messaging system comprising:
a messaging server including a memory configured to store computer readable instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions to generate a group relationship table based on a received group relationship registration request from a first terminal device, the group relationship registration request including a user identifier associated with the first terminal device and a user identifier of at least one second terminal device, the group relationship table being indicative of an association between the first terminal device and the at least one second terminal device, register the group relationship table in a group relationship database, and update the group relationship table based on an agreement response received from the at least one second terminal device, the agreement response indicating whether the at least one second terminal device has agreed to be associated with the first terminal device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
