摘要

A method for providing a group chat service includes: creating a chat group including a first member and one or more second members; establishing a P2P connection to each of the second members; receiving audio data uploaded from the second members through the P2P connections; mixing the audio data received and audio data of the first member to generate mixed audio data and transmitting the mixed audio data to the second members through the P2P connections by the first member; receiving by the second members the mixed audio data. The present invention also discloses a system for providing a group chat service. According to the present invention, text chat and audio chat are handled differently, thus the network bandwidth requirement and computer hardware requirement of group chat for forwarding the audio data are lowered, and the data volume transmitted by the network is reduced.
