[ (For example, 161-2) corresponding to the analysis result from among the plurality of menus stored in the memory device 165 accessible by the control unit 161 and selects the selected second menu (e.g., 161-2) And can be displayed on the display device 180 as shown in FIG.

Accordingly, every time the wireless communication terminal 150 enters a specific space, the application 161 receives the beacon message output from the beacon installed in the specific space, analyzes the received beacon message, A menu suitable for the specific space can be selected from among the menus of the selected menu, and the selected menu can be displayed through the display device 180.

The application 161 may provide different menus to the user through the display device 180 depending on the location of the user of the wireless communication terminal 150. [ For example, when the first space 110 is a bookstore, the first menu (e.g., 161-1) provided by the application 161 may be a menu related to the bookstore. Also, when the second space 130 is a restaurant, the second menu (e.g., 161-2) provided by the application 161 may be a menu related to the restaurant.

The menu provided by the wireless communication terminal 150 is fixed, but the application 161 according to the embodiment of the present invention displays different menus on the display device 180 according to the location of the user of the wireless communication terminal 150, To the user. 3 and 4, the number and arrangement of the icons included in the first menu (e.g., 161-1) may be different from the number and arrangement of the icons included in the second menu (e.g., 161-2) Array. Therefore, the application 161 according to the embodiment of the present invention can provide a menu suitable for a specific space to the user of the wireless communication terminal 150 automatically in real time.
