processing the access card based on the received transfer request, return request, or retrieval request; and

recording a processing history of the access card,

wherein the access card is a virtual card indicating qualifications to enter an online area or an offline area set by the partner terminal,

wherein an instant message comprising information related to return of the access card is transmitted to at least one of the partner terminal, the user terminal of a first user account corresponding to a transferee, or a user terminal of a second user account corresponding to a transferor, and

wherein the instant message is provided through a chatroom identified as a business entity of the partner terminal or the access card management server.

2. The access card processing method of claim 1 ,

wherein the processing of the access card comprises mapping an access card mapped to the first user account to a second user account corresponding to a transferee in response to the transfer request.

3. The access card processing method of claim 2 ,

wherein an instant message comprising information related to transfer of the access card is transmitted to at least one of the partner terminal, the user terminal of the first user account corresponding to the transferor, or a user terminal of the second user account corresponding to the transferee, and

wherein the instant message is provided through a chatroom identified as a business entity of the partner terminal or the access card management server.

4. The access card processing method of claim 3 , wherein the information related to the transfer comprises at least one of a type of the access card related to the transfer, a transfer time point of the access card, or information on the user terminal of the first user account or the user terminal of the second user account.

5. The access card processing method of claim 1 ,

wherein the receiving of the transfer request, the return request, or the retrieval request for the access card comprises receiving the return request from the partner terminal for the access card or a user terminal of a first user account corresponding to a transferee, and

wherein the processing of the access card comprises mapping an access card mapped to the first user account to a second user account corresponding to a transferor or a user account of the partner terminal in response to the return request.

6. The access card processing method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the return comprises at least one of a type of the access card, a return time point of the access card, or information on the user terminal of the first user account or the user terminal of the second user account.

7. The access card processing method of claim 1 ,

wherein the receiving of the transfer request, the return request, or the retrieval request for the access card comprises receiving the retrieval request from the partner terminal for the access card or a user terminal of a first user account corresponding to a transferor, and

wherein the processing of the access card comprises mapping an access card mapped to a second user account corresponding to a transferee to the first user account corresponding to the transferor or a user account of the partner terminal in response to the return request.

8. The access card processing method of claim 7 ,

wherein an instant message comprising information related to retrieval of the access card is transmitted to at least one of the partner terminal, the user terminal of the first user account corresponding to the transferor, or a user terminal of the second user account corresponding to the transferee, and

wherein the instant message is provided through a chatroom identified as a business entity of the partner terminal or the access card management server.

9. The access card processing method of claim 8 , wherein the information related to the retrieval comprises at least one of a type of the access card, a retrieval time point of the access card, information on the user terminal of the first user account or the user terminal of the second user account, or a reason for the retrieval.

10. An access card processing method performed by an access card management server, the access card processing method comprising:

setting an execution condition for transfer, return, or retrieval of an access card provided by a partner terminal to a user terminal, from the partner terminal;

determining whether the partner terminal or the user terminal satisfies the execution condition;

processing the access card based on a result of the determining of whether the execution condition is satisfied; and

recording a processing history of the access card,

wherein the access card is a virtual card indicating qualifications to enter an online area or an offline area set by the partner terminal, and

the execution condition for the transfer comprises at least one of time requirements in that the access card is divided temporally and transferred to each of a plurality of user terminals or regional requirements in that the access card is divided regionally and transferred to each of the user terminals according to a set transfer range,

wherein an instant message comprising information related to the return of the access card is transmitted to at least one of the partner terminal, a user terminal of a first user account corresponding to a transferee, or a user terminal of a second user account corresponding to a transferor, and

wherein the instant message is provided through a chatroom identified as a business entity of the partner terminal or the access card management server.

11. The access card processing method of claim 10 , wherein the processing of the access card comprises:

mapping an access card mapped to a first user account to a second user account corresponding to a transferee according to the execution condition for the transfer.

12. The access card processing method of claim 11 ,

wherein an instant message comprising information related to the transfer of the access card is transmitted to at least one of the partner terminal, a user terminal of the first user account corresponding to a transferor, or a user terminal of the second user account corresponding to the transferee, and

wherein the instant message is provided through a chatroom identified as a business entity of the partner terminal or the access card management server.

13. The access card processing method of claim 10 , wherein the processing of the access card comprises mapping an access card mapped to a first user account to a second user account corresponding to a transferor or a user account of the partner terminal according to the execution condition for the return.

14. The access card processing method of claim 10 , wherein the processing of the access card comprises mapping an access card mapped to a second user account corresponding to a transferee to a first user account corresponding to a transferor or a user account of the partner terminal according to the execution condition for the return.

15. The access card processing method of claim 14 ,

wherein an instant message comprising information related to retrieval of the access card is transmitted to at least one of the partner terminal, a user terminal of the first user account corresponding to the transferor, or a user terminal of the second user account corresponding to the transferee, and

wherein the instant message is provided through a chatroom identified as a business entity of the partner terminal or the access card management server.

16. A system comprising:

a processor configured to:
