PURPOSE: A system for interactively combining an off-line store with an on-line community and a service method thereof are provided to link a store with an on-line community closely by providing an intermediating unit for connecting clients in a store with outside or web site and supplying a service such as a music request, a meeting request, a chatting, and so on. CONSTITUTION: An off-line store(10) and users(30) of an on-line community are linked under a control of a server(20) based on a web site(100). The server(20) drives a chatting program and stores/transmits data transmitted from the store(10). The web site(100) supplies various kinds of contents and services to a terminal mounted in the store(10) and the terminal of an on-line user who wishes to connect to the store(10) through the web site(100) at outside of the store(10). Clients at an off-line store connect to the web site(100) and are linked with an on-line user terminal using a chatting program through the terminal of the store(10). Also, a moving picture and music data, being created through a camera or a mike in an off-line store, are transmitted to the server(20), and users download the moving picture and music data through the web site(100).
