Disclosed is a system and a method for session reestablishment between a
client terminal and a server for a messenger service. In a session
reestablishment system including a client terminal capable of accessing a
communication network, a session information database and a server for
providing a messenger service to the client terminal, the client terminal
sends a synckey exchanged and stored during previous access to the server
when sending a request for session reestablishment (reaccess) to the
server after lapse of a predetermined time period from termination of the
previous access due to log-off or timeout. The server searches the
session information database to detect last session information
corresponding to the client terminal based on the synckey, compares the
last session information with current session information to detect any
updated data, and sends only the updated data to the client terminal.
