Description

Providing method for goods information using a mobile station}

The present invention relates to an application service field of a mobile communication terminal, and in particular, a user receives product information provided by another terminal holder within a certain radius from the user using the mobile communication terminal, and refers to product information provided from another terminal holder. It relates to a product information providing method using a mobile communication terminal that can conveniently purchase the necessary goods.

Today, mobile communication terminals are becoming a necessity of life due to the simplicity and convenience of portable, and are used by many people. The mobile communication terminal has a phone book registration, a schedule management function, etc., and has been changed to a means for personal information management function beyond the means for phone calls.

In addition, the remarkable development of computer-related information and communication fields not only drastically improves work efficiency, but also changes our daily lives. For example, in the form of shopping related to product purchase, the use of product purchase using an online shopping mall on a computer is gradually increasing.

In addition, the system and method for receiving a variety of information in real time by accessing a network such as the Internet through a mobile communication terminal are actively being searched for, and an image transmission movement such as IMT 2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication for the 2000s) As communication terminals have been developed, many researches have been conducted on service systems and methods using them.

As such, as the development of communication technology, a next generation mobile communication network capable of providing high quality communication services and various additional services, that is, commonly referred to as IMT2000 or Future Public Land Mobile Telecommunication System (FPLMTS), will be commercialized. It is expected to be. The next-generation communication network adopts a data packet transmission method to transmit and receive voice, video, or data files at high speed, and also, in order to secure a high data rate, for example, 1,855 MHz ~ It will use a frequency band of 2,110 MHz or 2,110 MHz to 2,200 MHz. In addition, such a next generation mobile communication network can construct the whole world in a single call zone.

On the other hand, when people move or move in their lives, many things are created that are not needed, and many new things are needed. In these cases, people may search for information about the item on the Internet to barter or buy a second hand.

In such a case, in order to purchase an item that is searched through the Internet, people must visit the place where the item is stored, check the item, and purchase the item from the item registrant. However, the items they searched for were not placed only by those in the neighborhood near their location. Therefore, in some cases, it is cumbersome to visit a person who is far from their location, who has registered an item on the Internet, in order to identify the item.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the user is provided with product information provided by another terminal holder within a certain radius from the user using a mobile communication terminal, and is required by referring to product information provided from another terminal holder. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for providing product information using a mobile communication terminal that can conveniently purchase goods.
