According to another embodiment, the presence information according to an embodiment of the present invention may be input and displayed by normalizing the busy degree of the user of the first terminal 100. When the presence information normalizes the busy degree of the user of the first terminal 100, the tempo of the music may be adjusted to appropriately indicate the busy degree.

Presence information is set by normalizing the degree of fastness to "very busy", "busy", "little busy", "normal", "little free", "free" and "very free" as shown in [Table 2]. In this case, when a particular music is selected as audio data corresponding to the presence information, the tempo of the music is adjusted to 1 to 7 according to the presence information as shown in [Table 2], and is included in the setting request message. Where 1 is the slowest tempo and 7 is the fastest tempo.

As described above, when the user inputs both the presence information and the corresponding audio data through the first input unit 130, the first control unit 160 generates a setting request message according to the input. By creating it.

In addition, in the generation of the setting request message, when the user inputs only the presence information through the first input unit 130, the first control unit 160 detects the input and corresponds to the input presence information based on the above-described rule. The audio data may be searched for from the audio data stored in the first storage unit 140 and then included in the corresponding audio data.

In addition, the generation of the setting request message may all be automatically generated. Referring to the case of the first embodiment, when the location information is changed, the first control unit 160 receives the location information (GPS signal) that is changed from the location information receiving unit 150, recognizes the location, and at the changed location Accordingly, the presence information may be changed, and the corresponding audio data may be retrieved from the audio data stored in the first storage unit 140 and then included in the corresponding audio data. Meanwhile, the location information has been described as using location information of the location information receiving unit 150. However, the location information is not limited thereto, and location information may be obtained using a plurality of base stations. In this case, location information may be obtained through the first communication unit 110.

When the first control unit 160 searches for audio data corresponding to the presence information in the first storage unit 140, the first control unit 160 obtains and retrieves necessary information from the header of the audio data. For example, the header of the audio data includes information such as title, composer, album, year, description, genre, bit rate information, sampling rate information, channel information, producer, and music description. Therefore, the first controller 160 can search for the required music through this information.

As described above, when the presence information includes audio information corresponding to the presence information, the presence service apparatus 300 may request that the other terminals request the presence information of the first terminal 100. In order to express the presence information of the terminal 100 through the audio data, the corresponding audio data is provided along with the presence information.

On the other hand, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the first controller 160, among the one or more audio data provided by the sound source providing apparatus 300, the audio data to be output along with the presence information through the first input unit 130 Select and transmit a message for requesting setting of the selected audio data to the sound source providing apparatus 300.
