First claim

What is claimed:

1. A method for providing a content list by a user terminal, the method comprising:
displaying, by the user terminal, a source content provided by a counterpart participant of a chat room on the chat room;
receiving, by the user terminal, selection on the source content from a user; and
displaying, by the user terminal, at least one of a first content list including at least one keyword-related content related to a keyword of the source content and a second content list including at least one group-related content that belongs to the same group as a group of the source content on the user terminal,
wherein the keyword-related content is a keyword identical or similar to the keyword of the source content or a keyword corresponding to a predetermined combination with the keyword of the source content,
wherein the group-related content shares at least one characteristic with the source content's character, the character's family, or the creator,
wherein the first content list includes keyword information that is related to the keyword and displayed together with the keyword-related content, and
wherein the second content list includes group name information that is related to the group and displayed together with the group-related content.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the source content and the keyword-related content are contents that belong to different groups.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the displaying of at least one of the first content list and the second content list, the displaying depends on whether the user terminal's user account has an authority to access at least one of the first content list and the second content list.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein whether the user account has an authority is related to at least one of a payment status and a download status for at least one of the first content list and the second content list.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the displaying of at least one of the first content list and the second content list, the user terminal displays both the first content list and the second content list.

8. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing instructions, when executed by one or more processors, configured to perform a method for providing a content list by a user terminal, the method comprising:
displaying, by the user terminal, a source content provided by a counterpart participant of a chat room on the chat room;
receiving, by the user terminal, selection on the source content from a user; and
displaying, by the user terminal, at least one of a first content list including at least one keyword-related content related to a keyword of the source content and a second content list including at least one group-related content that belongs to the same group as a group of the source content on the user terminal,
wherein the keyword-related content is a keyword identical or similar to the keyword of the source content or a keyword corresponding to a predetermined combination with the keyword of the source content,
wherein the group-related content shares at least one characteristic with the source content's character, the character's family, or the creator,

display, by the user terminal, at least one of a first content list including at least one keyword-related content related to a keyword of the source content and a second content list including at least one group-related content that belongs to the same group as a group of the source content on the user terminal,

wherein the keyword-related content is a keyword identical or similar to the keyword of the source content or a keyword corresponding to a predetermined combination with the keyword of the source content,
wherein the group-related content shares at least one characteristic with the source content's character, the character's family, or the creator,
wherein the first content list includes keyword information that is related to the keyword and displayed together with the keyword-related content, and
wherein the second content list includes group name information that is related to the group and displayed together with the group-related content.

11. The user terminal of claim 9 , wherein in the displaying of at least one of the first content list and the second content list, the displaying depends on whether the user terminal's user account has an authority to access at least one of the first content list and the second content list.

12. The user terminal of claim 11 , wherein whether the user account has an authority is related to at least one of a payment status and a download status for at least one of the first content list and the second content list.

13. The user terminal of claim 9 , wherein in the displaying of at least one of the first content list and the second content list, the user terminal displays both the first content list and the second content list.

14. The user terminal of claim 13 , wherein in the displaying of at least one of the first content list and the second content list, the user terminal displays the first content list and the second content list in separately from each other.
