BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an advertising method using Internet electronic mail (e-mail) and chatting services and, in more particular, to an advertising method using Internet e-mail and chatting services, which pays a predetermined charge for viewing advertisements to users when they are provided with Internet e-mail service transmitting e-mails including the advertisements provided by advertisers, to thereby invite and display advertisements. 2. Description of the Related Art In popularization of the Internet, the amount of advertisements using Internet home pages rapidly increases and markets are being extended. This advertising method using the Internet home pages is to pay a predetermined charge for viewing advertisements to users who sign in specific Internet services whenever advertisements are clicked when the users access the home pages of the Internet services and view the advertisements displayed thereon. This method provides the users with a part of advertising rates paid by their advertisers to secure lots of users who have signed in the services. Additionally, there are extending Internet services which provide free home pages to the users and allow them to use free e-mail accounts on the condition that the users sign in the Internet services and view advertisements displayed on the home pages. This rapidly raises the amount of usage of e-mail. However, the Internet services described as above provide free services like e-mail services to the users and pay a predetermined charge for clicking the advertisements to them in case where the users view the advertisements displayed on the home pages. Further, the e-mail is used as a means for directly advertising specific products or services when it is employed for advertisements. This causes a flood of spam mails which are delivered to users who do not want them. This problem limits e-mail service and does not allow the e-mail, which has a potential of replacing facsimile service or postal service, to be effective used as an advertising medium. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAn object of the present invention is to provide an advertising method using Internet e-mail service, which pays a predetermined charge to users for viewing advertisements when the users who have signed in the service are provided with the Internet e-mail service transmitting e-mails including advertisements provided by advertisers, to thereby invite and display advertisements.

A variety of advertisements may be displayed on the e-mail screen to allow the transmitting part to be able to select. In addition, the advertising method using Internet chatting service is constructed in such a manner that company advertisements and/or company banner advertisements are inserted in the ground or a specific portion of the chatting window displayed as the initial screen of each chatting participant, other than the input window through which conversations are carried out, and when the participants view the advertisements during chatting a predetermined charge is paid to them.
