The present invention relates to mobile communication, and more particularly, to a mobile communication terminal capable of sharing a plurality of mobile communication terminal user status information, a state sharing service system and a service providing method using the same.

Recently, due to the development of semiconductor integrated circuit technology and the dramatic development of communication technology, various electric and electronic products have gained great popularity. Such electrical and electronic products include portable notebooks, PDAs, mobile communication terminals, and the like. In particular, mobile communication terminals not only provide voice calls for real-time calls with a desired party, but also provide a message service for transmitting texts or images. It offers a variety of services. The development of mobile communication terminals adds more mobility freedom to mobile communication terminal users, and provides unlimited opportunities to acquire a lot of information faster.

However, the desired call call formation provided by the mobile communication terminal is disadvantageous regardless of the situation or state of the user. That is, the user of the transmitting mobile terminal attempts to establish a call with the receiving mobile terminal at a desired time regardless of the situation information of the receiving mobile terminal. Such uncontrollable call formation can cause enormous disadvantages to the receiving mobile terminal user depending on the situation. For example, in a situation where the receiving mobile terminal user is in a conference room for a company's sound contract, and the flow of the meeting is sharply opposed, the amount of noise or light provided by the mobile terminal is very small. Unexpected penalties can occur alone.

In order to prevent this situation, alarms such as vibrations or silences have been developed to remove ringtones of mobile communication terminals. However, even vibrations or silences have enough noise elements to be regarded as noise. . It is possible to consider the method of removing the noise itself by turning off the power of the mobile communication terminal. However, this method is difficult to practically apply to various social activities in which important events can be combined.

Therefore, in recent years, an automatic answering service has been used in which a transmitting mobile terminal user can express his / her state through a specific method. That is, when the sending mobile communication terminal wants to set up a call call with the receiving mobile communication terminal, the receiving mobile communication terminal has a set automatic answering service, for example, "Now is absent", "Now is meeting", etc. By providing the voice answering service, it is possible to provide its own status information to the transmitting mobile terminal. However, the autoresponder service requires a very cumbersome process from the setting of the autoresponder to the confirmation and deletion process by the receiving mobile terminal user. In other words, in order to use the autoresponder service, the user of the receiving mobile terminal needs to input a specific number, input a "response message" to be used for the autoresponder, and check whether it is correctly entered. In addition, the "response message" used for the automatic response has an inconvenience of repeating the process of generating and confirming a new "response message" every time according to a change in the state of the user of the receiving mobile terminal. In addition, it is almost impossible for a receiving mobile terminal user who has executed the automatic response setting to check a specific display of the automatic response setting, so that his mobile terminal may not know if the automatic response setting is being executed. There is a ham.
