The GPS receiving module 120 plays a role of a type of position determiner for obtaining current position information of the mobile communication terminal. The process of acquiring the current position information (e.g., position coordinates) from the GPS signal is well known in the art and will not be described in detail. Meanwhile, the mobile communication terminal of another implementation may include position determination means using the beacon signal in place of or in addition to the GPS reception module 120 as the position determination unit.

That is, the position determination unit can determine the current position from signals broadcasted from the base station 50 of the cellular wireless communication that knows the position, the wireless AP 60, and a separate beacon signal generator.

The configuration using the beacon signal will be described in more detail. The beacon signal broadcasted from each of the signal sources 50 and 60 is received, and based on the received beacon signal strength and reception time, And apply the calculated distance values between the plurality of signal sources to the triangulation method to obtain the current position.
