Abstract

Disclosed is a device including a communication interface configured to communicate with an external device, an input interface, a display, a storage configured to store instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to at least control to collect information based on movement of the device, receive, via the input interface, an input indicating a request to create a social group, detect a location of the device in response to receiving the input, transmit, to an external device, the request to create the social group based on the location of the device and the collected information, and receive, from the external device, information related to the created social group.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:

 collect information based on movement of the device, 
 receive, via the input interface, an input indicating a request to create a social group, 
 detect a location of the device in response to receiving the input, 
 transmit, to an external device, the request to create the social group based on the location of the device and the collected information, and 
 receive, from the external device, information related to the created social group. 
   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the request to create the social group includes social group condition information input by a user of the device via the input interface. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the information related to the created social group includes service information based on the created social group. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the information related to the created social group includes information related to members of the created social group. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the information related to the created social group includes content based on the created social group. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a request for a social group list based on the location of the device and the collected information when transmitting the request to create the social group to the external device. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to control to receive, via the communication interface, the social group list from the external device, control the display to display the received social group list, control to receive, via the input interface, an input indicating a selection of a social group based on the received social group list, and control to join a user of the device to the selected social group. 
     
     
         8 . A method of creating a social group, the method being performed by a device and comprising:
 collecting, by a processor of the device, information based on movement of the device;   receiving, via an input interface of the device, an input indicating a request to create the social group;   detecting, by the processor, a location of the device in response to receiving the input;   transmitting, to an external device, the request to create the social group based on the location and the collected information; and   receiving, from the external device, information related to the created social group.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 ,
 wherein the request to create the social group includes social group condition information input by a user of the device via the input interface.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 ,
 wherein the information related to the created social group includes service information based on the created social group.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 ,
 wherein the information related to the created social group includes information related to members of the created social group.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 ,
 wherein the information related to the created social group includes content based on the created social group.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the transmitting of the request to create the social group includes transmitting, to the external device, a request for a social group list based on the location of the device and the collected information. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 receiving, via a communication interface of the device, the social group list from the external device;   displaying, on a display of the device, the received social group list;   receiving, via the input interface of the device, an input indicating a selection of a social group based on the received social group list; and   joining a user of the device to the selected social group.   
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon at least one program comprising a command for performing a method of creating a social group performed by a device, the method comprising:
 collecting, by a processor of the device, information based on movement of the device;   receiving, via an input interface of the device, an input indicating a request to create a social group;   detecting, by the processor, a location of the device in response to receiving the input;   transmitting, to an external device, the request to create the social group based on the location and the collected information; and   receiving, from the external device, information related to the created social group.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the request to create the social group includes social group condition information input by a user of the device via the input interface. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the information related to the created social group includes service information based on the created social group. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the information related to the created social group includes information related to members of the created social group. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the information related to the created social group includes content based on the created social group. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein transmitting the request to create the social group includes transmitting, to the external device, a request for a social group list based on the location of the device and the collected information, and
 wherein the method further comprises:   receiving, via a communication interface of the device, the social group list from the external device;   displaying, on a display of the device, the received social group list;   receiving, via the input interface of the device, an input indicating a selection of a social group based on the received social group list; and   joining a user of the device to the selected social group.
