Here, the NFC chip 151 'may be an example of the short-range communication module 114. In addition, the NFC tag 320 may store information about the specific product or the specific place when the specific item or the specific place is provided.

Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 can exchange information with another terminal 310 or the NFC tag 320 without using a Wi-Fi or 3G network, and in particular, can transmit information to the NFC tag 320 It is necessary to input the personal information together. Therefore, it is possible to identify the other party terminal that has input the information read from the NFC tag 320.

Hereinafter, a method for transmitting and receiving information to / from an external information storage unit using a short-range wireless communication (NFC) scheme in a mobile terminal according to the present invention will be described in detail.

4 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting / receiving information of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile terminal 100 is located within a predetermined distance from information storage means related to an external NFC (S410). For example, the information storage means may be the NFC tag 320 described above. The information storage means may store information received from each of the at least one external terminal as information on a specific product or a specific place.

The NFC can support information transmission / reception between a plurality of terminals located within a certain distance or between the terminal and the NFC tag. Therefore, only when the mobile terminal 100 is within a certain distance from the information storage means, Transmission and reception can be performed. For example, the distance may be less than 4 cm.

When the mobile terminal 100 is positioned within a predetermined distance from the information storage means, the mobile terminal 100 informs the user of the information according to the control of the controller 180 and allows the user to select whether or not to perform data communication with the information storage means , It is possible to automatically set a state where data communication with the information storage means is possible.

At this time, the mobile terminal 100 may periodically search whether the information storage means is located within a predetermined distance, or may search the user at a desired point in time. The mobile terminal 100 may have a separate means for searching for information storage means or may activate the short distance communication module 114 to search the information storage means. Here, the short range communication module 114 may include an NFC chip or an NFC module.

If the mobile terminal 100 is located within a predetermined distance from the information storage unit, the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the first specific condition is satisfied according to the control of the controller 180 (S420).

Here, the first specific condition may include a case where the mobile terminal 100 or a user thereof has a specific ID. For example, when a specific ID capable of receiving information stored in the information storage means is registered (the specific ID is stored in the information storage means), the registered specific ID is stored in the mobile terminal 100 or its user It can be said that the first specific condition is satisfied. That is, a terminal that does not correspond to a specific ID can not perform information transmission / reception with information storage means even if it is capable of short range wireless communication (NFC).

The first specific condition may include a case where the current time belongs to a specific time zone. For example, when the availability time zone of the information stored in the information storage means is designated as a specific time zone, the information stored in the information storage means may be disclosed only at the specified specific time zone. That is, even if a terminal capable of NFC is located within a certain distance from the information storage means, information stored in the information storage means can not be provided in the remaining time zones other than the specified specific time zone.

In addition, the first specific condition may include a case where the public validity period of the information stored in the information storage means has not passed. For example, when a public validity period is set for the information stored in the information storage means, the information stored in the information storage means can be disclosed only within the set public validity period. That is, even after the public validity period has elapsed, the information storage means and the terminal capable of short-range wireless communication (NFC) approach, the information having the public validity period may not be disclosed any more.

The first specific condition may include a case where the counterpart information for the external terminal that has received the information stored in the information storage unit is stored in the memory 160 of the mobile terminal 100. [ For example, when the counterpart information (e.g., telephone number, e-mail, etc.) of the first counterpart terminal is stored in the memory 160 of the mobile terminal 100, The information input by the mobile terminal 100 may be disclosed to the mobile terminal 100.
