• the event creation support unit providing information on the determined preferred time periods to a second user to attend an event together with the first user;
• the event creation support unit providing the second user with a second user interface for supporting the second user in inputting selection information for any one of the provided preferred time periods;
• and
• the event creation support unit determining, as an event time period in which the event that the first and second users attend together is to be created, the preferred time period selected by the second user among the preferred time periods,
• wherein in the step of determining the candidate time periods, at least one time period judged to be suitable for creation of the event that the first and second users attend together, among the time periods within the first user's schedule, is determined as the candidate time periods, with further reference to context information of the second user,
• wherein the context information of the first, user is extracted from at least one of schedule information of the first user, biographical information of the first user, personalization information of the first user, online activity information of the first user, message information for the first user, and record information of the first user, and
