In general, a mobile communication terminal is a wireless communication device that allows a user to carry a voice call with a specific person, and transmits a call message including a unique number of a receiver mobile communication terminal through a base station call channel to call a specific mobile communication terminal. After that, when a response is received from the mobile communication terminal, the system is configured to enable a call between the sender and the receiver.

However, in recent years, what is considered to be an important function of the mobile communication terminal to the user is an additional function that can be performed in the mobile communication terminal rather than the simple voice call function described above. Has invested a lot in research and development.

For example, by combining digital camera functions or adding MP3 playback functions to mobile terminals, and adding mobile banking functions, it is possible to check checks or send money online through the terminal, as well as navigation functions to find unknown routes. With the launch of mobile phones, it is no longer possible to find new add-ons to add.

Therefore, the mobile communication terminal industry has been researched to provide additional contents that can be used more efficiently in the mobile communication terminal while utilizing the existing added functions.
