Abstract

This invention relates to a system, device, and method for providing presence information using audio data. This invention provides a terminal device that displays a user list when predetermined input information is detected, receives, from a service device, presence information and audio information associated with the presence information of other user selected from the displayed user list, and controls an output unit, when the received presence information and audio information are displayed through the output unit, to implement audio data contained in the audio information. Accordingly, this invention can provide the users with the presence information intuitively by using audio data, and the users can gain a new user experience (UX), wherein the users can intuitively perceive the presence information via audio instead of text, that may boost the use of application for providing service exploiting the presence information.
