FIG. 32 shows a procedure for performing settlement in cooperation with another mobile terminal 300 on which an NFC tag is mounted through NFC tagging in the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention.

The user of the mobile terminal 100 tags the payment NFC tag to attempt payment (FIG. 32 (a)). Then, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 displays on the display unit 151 a user interface for selecting whether the payment is to be shared with another user, as shown in FIG. 32 (b) .

32 (b), when the user selects the joint payment area, the controller 180 instructs another user to jointly settle the NFC tag for the mobile terminal 300 And displays it on the display unit 151. In the state (c) of FIG. 32, the user tags the mobile terminal 100 to the mobile terminal 300 of the other user.

Then, the control unit 180 displays on the display unit 151 that the settlement has been performed in cooperation with another user in the mobile terminal 100, as shown in (d) of FIG. At this time, as shown in (e) of FIG. 32, information indicating that joint settlement has been performed is also displayed on the display section of the mobile terminal 300 of the other user.

FIG. 33 is a flowchart illustrating a method of calculating and providing a movement path of the mobile terminal 100 based on a data transmission / reception history in the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention.

The mobile terminal 100 stores the data transmission / reception history with other external devices in the storage unit 160 (S500). Herein, the data transmission / reception history with the other external device may include history of data transmission / reception through NFC tagging with the other external device, data transmission / reception history using another local communication network, and data transmission / reception histories through the mobile phone network. The information included in the data transmission / reception history may include data transmission / reception position, data transmission / reception time, and the like.

The control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 calculates a movement path of the mobile terminal 100 according to time based on the data transmission / reception history of the mobile terminal 100 (S510) Information about the movement route can be displayed on the display unit 151 (S520).

34 and 35 show examples in which information on the movement path of the mobile terminal 100 calculated according to the movement path providing method of FIG. 33 is displayed on the display unit 151. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 34, it can be seen that the mobile terminal 100 can provide the movement path according to the time and place where the NFC tagging is performed, in the form of a table. Referring to FIG. 35, the mobile terminal 100 may map the calculated travel route of the mobile terminal 100 to an execution screen of a map application operatively associated with a data transmission / reception application.

36 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a meeting history of a user of the mobile terminal 100 with another based on a data transmission / reception history in the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention.

First, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 stores the data transmission / reception history in the storage unit 160 (S600). Here, the data transmission / reception history is preferably a data transmission / reception history through a data transmission / reception network through a short distance communication network having an effective communication distance within a predetermined distance. This is because it is difficult to determine that the user has encountered the other party of data transmission / reception with a history of data transmission / reception through a short-range wireless communication network having an effective communication distance of a certain distance or more.

For example, if the data transmission / reception history is a data transmission / reception history through an NFC communication network with an effective communication distance of 10 centimeters or less, the user of the mobile terminal 100 can determine that the user of the mobile terminal 100 has met the other party of data transmission / reception.

The control unit 180 calculates the meeting history of the user based on the other party of data transmission / reception included in the data transmission / reception history, the data transmission / reception time, and the data transmission / reception location information (S610) And displays it on the display unit 151 (S620).

FIG. 37 shows that the meeting history of the user is displayed on the display unit 151 according to the method of providing the user's meeting history shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 37, it can be seen that the mobile terminal 100 can calculate the person, time, and location that the user has met and display it on the display unit 151.

Each of the operating methods of the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention may be implemented in a form of a program that can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination. The program recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and constructed for the present invention or may be those known to those skilled in the computer software.

Examples of computer-readable media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tape; optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs; magnetic media such as floppy disks; Magneto-optical media, and hardware devices specifically configured to store and execute program instructions such as ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like. Examples of programs include high-level language code that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter or the like, as well as machine code as produced by a compiler. The hardware devices described above may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
