Claim 11:
12. An operation method of a user terminal for generating a group event through an instant messaging application, the method comprising:
receiving, by the user terminal, information about an invited user account and information about an event start time of a group event from a user;

displaying a call incoming screen of the instant messaging application on the display,
wherein the receiving of the group event participation request includes receiving, by the user terminal, the group event participation request from an information processing system, the information processing system being separate from the user terminal,
wherein the group event participation request is automatically transmitted by the information processing system at the time corresponding to the event start time to the user terminal and at least one of other user terminals which have sent acceptance messages through the instant messaging application,
wherein a call channel is formed so that the user terminal is able to make a call through the instant messaging application in response to receiving a user input on the call incoming screen of the instant messaging application,
wherein the group event invitation message further includes information about an event type, and
wherein the method further comprises
providing at least one of a visual effect or a sound effect to the group event, or an additional function within the group event based on the information about the event type.
