Further, when the moving speed is 10 km / h to 30 km / h and the position information is an alley, a playground, or a general road, it is judged that the user is running. In addition, when the moving speed is 20 km / h to 120 km / h and the position information is the road for exclusive use of a motor vehicle or a roadway, it is judged that the user is driving the vehicle or using the vehicle. Also, if the moving speed is 50 km / h to 200 km / h and the location information is on a railway or underground, the user is determined to be moving using the subway or train. In addition, it is also possible to confirm the movement speed by confirming the change of body information (pulse, body temperature, blood pressure, etc.) according to the state classified by usual, exercise, walking, and the like. On the other hand, when there is no moving speed and there is no change in the position information, it can be determined that there is no movement of the user.

That is, the service device 20 confirms the transportation means and the movement mode based on at least one of the moving speed or the position information provided from the terminal 10. [ Thereafter, the service device 20 applies the presence information to the messenger service in step S37. That is, the service device 20 may apply at least one of icons, emoticons, flashcons, stickers, texts, and images corresponding to the presence information to profile editing, and display them on at least one of a dialog window and a friend list.
