Hereinafter, a method and a system for providing a communication service for each user according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating a network connection of a user-specific communication service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mobile communication terminal 102 of the user is connected to the communication service providing system 104 through the wired / wireless network communication network 103.

The mobile communication terminal 102 of the present invention is a code division multiplexing access (CDMA) module, a Bluetooth module, an infrared ray, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a handheld PC, a mobile phone, an MP3 player, and the like. A predetermined communication module such as a communication module (IrDA) or a wired / wireless LAN card may be provided, and a terminal having a predetermined computing power may be collectively provided by mounting a predetermined microprocessor that performs a multimedia playback function.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a communication service for each user according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, a process of providing a communication service for each user according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

The communication service providing system 104 may record and maintain a state of the user according to the user's bioelectrical signal and a corresponding communication service inventory in a database in step S201.

In operation S201, the communication service providing system 104 may receive a bioelectrical signal of the user from the mobile communication terminal 102 of the user. The bioelectrical signal of the user may be embedded or external to the user mobile communication terminal 102 and measured by the bioelectrical signal detecting means 101 for detecting the bioelectrical signal.

The bio-electrical signal is a series of electrical activities generated in the user's body to be propagated to the skin through which the bio-electrical signal detection means can determine the user's condition. Known bioelectrical signals include EEG, EOG, EMG, etc., which can be measured by conventional bioelectrical signal measuring means in the form of low voltage. For example, the bioelectrical signal detecting means may be an EEG detector for measuring the EEG signal of the user.

The user mobile communication terminal 102 receives the bioelectrical signal of the user from the bioelectrical signal detecting means 101 and transmits the bioelectrical signal of the user to the communication service providing system through a communication unit in the terminal.

The communication service providing system 104 may receive the bioelectrical signal of the user in step S202. The communication service providing system 104 receives a user-specific bioelectrical signal, records it in a database, and maintains it.

The communication service providing system 104 determines the state of the user according to the bioelectrical signal for each user in step S203. The communication service providing system 104 according to an embodiment of the present invention may determine a user's state by referring to the database when receiving a bioelectrical signal for each user. For example, when a specific bioelectrical signal of the user is received, it may be determined that the state of the user corresponding thereto is "depressed".

The communication service providing system 104 may read the communication service inventory corresponding to the user's state from the database in step S204. In the above example, when the state of the user is "depressed", the communication service inventory corresponding to the state of the user may be predetermined classical music.

The communication service inventory corresponding to the state of the user may be recorded and maintained in the communication service providing system 104 in advance. For example, the user status according to the user's bioelectrical signal may be classified into about 20 types, and the communication service inventory corresponding to each of the 20 types of user status may be recorded and maintained.

In step S205, the communication service providing system 104 transmits a communication service corresponding to the read communication service inventory to the user mobile communication terminal.

The communication service may be implemented in various forms. As a simple example, the communication service may be an emoticon showing the user's state according to the user's bioelectrical signal, or a predetermined phrase for explaining the user's state. By providing such a communication service, a user can know his / her status anytime and anywhere.

Alternatively, the communication service may be a multimedia data providing service including voice, video, still image, or text corresponding to a user's state. For example, when the user's state is "depressed", the user may be provided with a communication service that provides a movie or music that can change the depressed mood. Since the user can enjoy the multimedia data through the mobile communication terminal, the user can change his mood according to his condition.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention by setting the healing music or movie corresponding to the user's state as a communication service in the communication service providing system 104, thereby improving the user's health state.

The communication service may also include an online game providing service or a chatting service with a second user that is the same as or similar to the user's state. For example, an online game or chat service may be provided to enable a game or chat between a plurality of users whose user status is determined to be "good". In addition, it is possible to provide a communication service for enabling a telephone connection or a message transmission between a plurality of users having a similar state of users.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the user has an effect of feeling homogeneity and mental stability by communicating with users whose state is similar to each other through a communication service.
