Instant messaging server providing previous chat data to participants
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240039877A1) describes a method for operating an instant messaging server that involves storing chat data in a shared drive corresponding to an administrator with the authority to manage the chatroom. The method includes identifying a setting value related to providing previous chat data, extracting the previous chat data from the shared drive, and providing it to participants in the chatroom.
