4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for sharing status information by a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The other party's mobile communication terminal 112 outputs a standby screen 610, and outputs a thumbnail group 620 including thumbnails 622 corresponding to a preset number of slots on one side of the standby screen 610 according to the communication program 314. (S410)

The counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 checks whether the status information change signal is received from the communication server 140 via the message center 130 (S420).

As a result of checking in step S420, when the state information change signal is received, the counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 outputs a vibration or notification according to the reception time of the state information change signal (S430).

The counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 rotates the thumbnail group 620 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction so that the thumbnail corresponding to the status information change signal moves to a preset position of the thumbnail group 620 (S440).

The counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 temporarily outputs the counterpart status information 630 on one side of the standby screen 610 (S450).

For example, the counterpart status information 630 output on the standby screen 610 may disappear after moving from left to right of the standby screen 610.

The other party's mobile communication terminal 112 checks whether a preset activation key is input (S460).

For example, if it is assumed that the preset activation key is a 'cancel key', the counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 checks whether a user inputs a 'cancel key' by operating a key input unit.

When the preset activation key is input as a result of checking in step S460, the counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 receives the received user information and the counterpart corresponding to the status information change signal among the communication group 628 matching the thumbnail group 620. A communication page 650 indicating status information as a basic page is output (S470).

The counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 checks whether a preset user information selection key is input (S480).

For example, if it is assumed that the preset user information selection key is 'left / right direction key', the counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 checks whether the user inputs 'left / right direction key' by operating a key input unit. It is.

When the preset user information selection key is input as a result of checking in step S480, the counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 outputs the selected user information and the counterpart status information according to the user information selection key in the communication group 628 (S490). .

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of sharing status information by a communication server according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

When the mobile communication terminal 110 receives a preset state information change key for changing its state information 640 from the key input unit, the mobile communication terminal 110 switches to a state information change page and sets the input information as update state information. It outputs its own state information 640 (S510).

For example, if it is assumed that the preset status information change key is '*', when the '*' key is input, the mobile terminal 110 switches to the status information change page and updates the input information. It is set to the output as its own state information (640).

When the mobile terminal 110 sets its status information 640 as the updated status information and outputs the updated status information, the mobile terminal 110 communicates the status information change signal for transmitting the updated status information to the counterpart terminal previously registered in the communication group 628. The server 140 transmits the data (S520).

When the communication server 140 receives the state information change signal from the mobile communication terminal 110, the communication server 140 extracts information of one or more counterpart terminals previously registered in the communication group (S530).

The communication server 140 transmits a state information change signal to the counterpart mobile communication terminal 112 corresponding to the counterpart terminal information extracted through the message center 130 (S540).

At least one counterpart terminal 112 receives the state information change signal from the message center 130 and then controls to change the received user information and the counterpart state information corresponding to the state information change signal (S550).
