2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of managing a network using location information and call / message information in a mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the terminal checks whether an incoming or outgoing call or message is made in step 201. That is, the terminal checks whether a call or a message is received or a call or message is sent to another terminal by the user.

When an incoming / outgoing call or message is made, the terminal acquires current location information of the terminal through GPS in step 203 and proceeds to step 205 to obtain the call-related information. Here, the call-related information includes a time when a call or a message is received, a call time, a message length, a call number of a call or a message, and a message content.

In step 207, the terminal checks whether the called party of the call or message is an existing network. That is, the terminal checks whether the other party is a network registered in advance in the phone book. When the other party is not the existing network, the terminal determines whether to register the other party's phone number in the phone book in step 209. If it is determined by the user selection that the telephone number of the other party is not registered in the phone book, the terminal returns to step 201 and repeats the following steps.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the telephone number of the counterpart is registered in the phone book by the user selection, the terminal receives information on the counterpart, that is, a social network profile, from the user in step 211, and proceeds to step 213. Network information is generated based on the acquired and input information. Here, the network profile includes the name, phone number, age, address, affiliation, occupation, position, email and picture of the network, the network information includes the network profile information, the call-related information associated with the network, the network The importance may include the terminal's own location information and the terminal's own schedule information when a call or a call with the corresponding network is received. In step 215, the terminal determines the incoming importance and the outgoing importance of the corresponding network. In this case, the incoming importance is an importance determined based on a call or a message received from the network, indicating the importance of the terminal user from the network, and the originating importance is determined based on a call or a message sent to the network. As the importance level, it represents the importance level for the network from the terminal user. In this case, the importance may be determined by using an incoming / outgoing location, an incoming / outgoing time, an incoming / outgoing time, a talk time, a message length, and a message content of a call and a message. In step 217, the terminal stores the generated social networking information and importance and transmits the social networking information to a social networking server, and then terminates the algorithm according to the present invention.

On the other hand, the terminal updates the contact information and incoming importance or outgoing importance of the corresponding network in step 219 when the other party is the existing network as a result of the check in step 207. That is, the terminal updates the incoming importance of the corresponding network when the incoming call or the message is made, and updates the originating importance of the corresponding network when the call or the message is made. Thereafter, in step 221, the terminal stores the network information and the importance of the updated network and transmits it to the network management server, and ends the algorithm according to the present invention.

3 illustrates a procedure for maintaining a network in a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the terminal determines whether a network maintenance function is set in step 301. Here, the network maintenance function refers to a function of helping the user to actively maintain a relationship with the corresponding network by notifying the user of information about the infrequent contact or the contact which is frequently contacted for a certain period of time.

When the network maintenance function is set, the terminal updates and confirms the importance of each network at predetermined intervals in step 303. Here, the terminal updates the incoming and outgoing importance of the contacts that do not receive or receive the call or message within a predetermined period, and confirms the incoming and outgoing importance of the contacts and the incoming or outgoing call or message within the predetermined period do. In this case, the priority is updated only for the contacts that do not have an incoming or outgoing call because the incoming and outgoing importance is updated whenever the incoming call occurs for the incoming calls.

In step 305, the terminal examines the degree of change in importance of each network. Here, the terminal may check the degree of change of importance of each network on the basis of a preset time, and may check the degree of change of importance on the basis of the maximum or minimum importance of each network. For example, assuming that the preset time is one month, the change in the importance of the network A may be examined by comparing the incoming and outgoing importance of the one month ago to the network A and the current incoming and outgoing importance. In addition, by comparing the incoming and outgoing importance of the highest number of incoming and outgoing importance of the existing network and the current incoming and outgoing importance, it is possible to examine the change in the importance of the network A.

In step 307, the terminal identifies the contacts whose degree of change is greater than or equal to the threshold range. In step 309, the terminal informs the user that the importance of the identified contacts changes, and then terminates the algorithm according to the present invention.

4 illustrates a procedure of providing a call recommendation list using location and time information in a mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the terminal checks whether a call recommendation is requested in step 401. When the call recommendation is requested, the terminal proceeds to step 403 to obtain current location information and current time information.

In step 405, the terminal searches for incoming / outgoing calls generated in the past at the current location based on previously stored network information. In step 407, incoming and outgoing calls generated in the same time zone as the current time are searched. Search again and select the contacts.

Thereafter, the terminal generates and displays a call recommendation list including the selected contacts, and ends the algorithm according to the present invention.

Send to 502. Then, the network management server 502 registers the network information of the first and second terminals 500 and 504 in step 518. Here, the first and second terminals 500 and 502 may share a network 520 with the other terminal through the network management server 502 or search for a network 540 of the other terminal.

First, referring to a case in which the first and second terminals 500 and 504 share a network 520, the first terminal 500 requests a network share with the second terminal 504 in step 522. In step 524, the network management server 502 transmits a network sharing request message received from the first terminal 500 to the second terminal 504. Upon receiving the network sharing request message, the second terminal 504 receives a connection sharing acceptance from the user, and when the network sharing acceptance is set, in step 526, sends a network sharing acceptance message to the network management server 502. do. The network management server 502 receiving the network sharing acceptance message transmits the network information of the second terminal 504 to the first terminal 500 in steps 528 and 530. Network information of 500 is transmitted to the second terminal 504. Here, when it is set not to accept the network sharing from the user, the second terminal 504 transmits a network sharing reject message to the network management server 502, the network management server 502 the network The sharing reject message is transmitted to the first terminal 500.

Next, referring to the case in which the first terminal 500 searches for a network 540 of the second terminal 504, the first terminal 500 may connect to a network search request message including a profile and importance in operation 542. Send to the network management server 502. Here, the profile and the importance included in the network search request message are conditions for searching the network, and the profile which is the search condition is an item of the network profile (for example, name, phone number, age, address, affiliation, occupation, position) Must include at least one item). The network management server 502 receiving the network search request message searches for the network corresponding to the profile and the importance in the networks of the second terminal 504 in step 544. In other words, the network management server 502 searches for the contacts corresponding to the profile while having a degree of importance or more than the importance suggested by the first terminal 500 among the contacts of the second terminal 504. That is, among the contacts having the same or greater importance as the importance suggested by the first terminal 500, the contacts corresponding to the profile are searched for. In step 546, the social network management server 502 transmits the social network search result to the first terminal 500, and the first terminal 500 that receives it is one of the search results from the user in step 548. After receiving the above connection, in step 550 and 552 transmits a message requesting the introduction of the network to the second terminal 504 through the network management server 502. Then, the user of the first terminal 500 may be introduced to the network from the user of the second terminal 504.

6 illustrates a process of grouping a network by a network management server in a mobile communication system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the network management server receives network information from the terminal in step 601 and proceeds to step 603 to extract the contents of the message message from the network information.

In step 605, the network management server extracts a keyword frequently used in a message message for each social network, proceeds to step 607, maps to a keyword extracted for each social network, and then, in step 609, the terminal uses the keyword. Group your contacts. For example, the network management server extracts the keywords for the contacts B, C, D, and E of the terminal A to obtain a result such as 'B-Professor, C-Mom, D-Report, E-House'. The B and C may be classified into a school group, and the C and E may be classified into a family group to group the contacts of the terminal A.

Thereafter, the network management server terminates the algorithm according to the present invention.

Here, although the network management server extracts a keyword from the message message to group the contacts of each terminal, the grouping of the contacts may be performed in each terminal. In addition, the network management server or each terminal may perform grouping based on the importance of the network.

FIG. 7 illustrates a procedure for arranging a meeting between users of a mobile communication terminal by using a location management server in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, in step 701, the network management server checks location information of the first terminal and location information of terminals corresponding to the network of the first terminal. Here, location information of each terminal is periodically received from each terminal.

In step 703, the network management server checks whether there is a terminal in a position close to the first terminal, and if there is no terminal in a close position, returns to step 701 to perform the following steps again, and the proximity position. If there is a terminal at, the process proceeds to step 705 and checks whether the terminal in the adjacent position is in a state of allowing the disclosure. Here, whether to allow the location disclosure may be arbitrarily set and changed by the user of each terminal.

The network management server returns to step 701 if the terminal in the close position is not allowed to release the location and performs the following steps again, if the terminal in the close position is allowed to disclose the location, 709 Proceed to step and transmits a message indicating that there is a network in close proximity to the first terminal and the terminal in the proximity position. In this case, the message may include location information of the network in the proximity.

Thereafter, the network management server terminates the algorithm according to the present invention.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for arranging a meeting between users of a mobile communication terminal using a user schedule by a network management server in a mobile communication system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, in step 801, the network management server checks the schedule of the first terminal and the schedule of the terminals corresponding to the network of the first terminal. Here, the schedule of each terminal may be received whenever the schedule is updated by the user in each terminal, may be periodically received by the user setting, or may be received at any time. In addition, the schedule of the terminal includes location and time information.

In step 803, the network management server checks whether a terminal having a schedule similar to that of the first terminal exists. That is, when the first terminal has a meeting in area A at 1 pm on April 30, 1009, the network management server is located in a neighborhood of area A or area A at a similar time among the connections of the first terminal. Check if there is a connection terminal in the schedule. If there is no terminal having a schedule similar to that of the first terminal, the network management server returns to step 801 to perform the following steps again, and if the terminal having the similar schedule exists, the process proceeds to step 805 and the similar schedule. Check whether the terminal with the state has allowed the schedule disclosure. Here, whether to allow the schedule disclosure may be arbitrarily set and changed by the user of each terminal.

The network management server returns to step 801 when the terminal having the similar schedule is not allowed to publish the schedule and performs the following steps again, and when the terminal having the similar schedule is allowed to publish the schedule, 809 In step S1, the first terminal and the terminal having the similar schedule transmit a message indicating that there is a connection with a similar schedule. In this case, the message may include schedule information of the network having the similar schedule.

Thereafter, the network management server terminates the algorithm according to the present invention.

9 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for acquiring a time required for a path that a user frequently moves in a mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

When the movement path management function is set, the terminal proceeds to step 903 to track the movement path of the user for a predetermined time. In this case, the movement path tracking may be started and ended by user setting, or may be started and ended based on a preset estimated time for each preset period. For example, the user may set the start time and the end time, or set the start position and the end position to track the movement path, or the movement path may be tracked by 1 hour every 6 hours.

If the movement path is tracked, the terminal checks whether the user frequently moves in step 905. This can be done by asking the user directly or by examining the location information obtained in the past. In this case, the terminal may determine how many times the terminal has moved the moving path through the position information obtained in the past, and may determine that the user moves frequently when the terminal is more than a threshold number of times.

If the terminal determines that the path is not frequently moved by the user, the terminal returns to step 901 to perform the following steps again, and when the path is frequently moved by the user, the terminal proceeds to step 907 to provide information on the moving path. That is, it stores information such as starting point, arrival point, time required, and moving speed.

In step 909, the terminal checks whether a function for sharing movement path information with the network terminals is set. When the function for sharing the movement path information is not set, the terminal returns to step 901 to repeat the following steps. When the sharing of the route information is set, the process proceeds to step 911 to transmit the route information to the network management server. Then, the network terminals of the terminal can obtain and use the information of the movement path from the network management server.

Thereafter, the terminal terminates the algorithm according to the present invention.
