12. An online chat system to provide an online chat communication among a first user terminal and a plurality of second user terminals, the system comprising:
-
a storage device; a server module stored on the storage device and configured to cause a server to grant a bilateral chat right to a first group of user terminals selected from the second user terminals for participating in an online chat with the first user terminal, and configured to authorize and establish an online chat communication among the first user terminal and the first group of user terminals based on the bilateral chat right, the server module including, a message receiver configured to cause the server to receive chat messages from the first user terminal and the first group of user terminals, the message receiver configured to cause the server to receive a first chat message from the first user terminal and to receive a second chat message from a user terminal among the first group of user terminals, and a message broadcaster configured to cause the server to transmit the chat messages to a second group of user terminals selected from the second user terminals, the second group of user terminals being granted with a unilateral chat right, the message broadcaster configured to cause the server to transmit the first chat message to the first group of user terminals and the second group of user terminals and to cause the server to transmit the second chat message to the first user terminal and the second group of user terminals, wherein the message receiver is further configured to cause the server to provide a message check count for the first chat message and the second chat message, and wherein the message receiver is further configured to cause the server to determine a number of user terminals reading the first chat message or the second chat message among the first user terminal and the first group of second user terminals and a current session count in real time, and to update the message check count if a ratio of the number of user terminals to the current session count is higher than or equal to a preset level. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
