Abstract

A wireless information processing terminal is provided to notify a client who use the second wireless terminal connected with a client using the public transportation that the client using the public transportation is expected to be arrived. A position measuring unit(145) measures the current position of a wireless terminal(100) by using at least one data corresponding to one or more GPS signals received through a GPS signal receiving part(130), and then calculates the coordinate information corresponding to the current position of the wireless terminal. An information receiving part(150) receives location information which is inputted from a client through a key input unit(120) of the wireless terminal. An information confirmation part(155) confirms the coordinate information corresponding to the location information which the information receiving part receives, and compares real-time coordinate information calculated by the position measuring unit. If the information confirmation part confirms that the position information generated by the confirmation part coincides with the position information received by the information receiving part, an information processor(160) generates message data showing that the arrival to a specific location is expected, and then performs an arrival alarm.
