METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING MOBILE STATION BASED GPS SERVICE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING PERIODIC LOCATION INFORMATION BY USING MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION TERMINAL

摘要

A method and a system for providing a terminal-based GPS(Global Positioning System) service capable of periodically providing location information by using a mobile communication terminal are provided to guide a user to a destination by generating an alarm at predetermined periods and displaying the location of the user on a map based on the current location, thereby reducing data charges due to the frequent connection and search of a wireless Internet service, and enabling the user to correctly and conveniently reach a desired place. A mobile communication terminal(210) receives appointment information from a user, and provides a map related to an appointment place before the starting time comes, and generates an alarm at connection periods if the user assigns a server connection period, and displays the current location of the user on the map. An MSC(Mobile Switching Center)(230) receives and transmits data and a message including the location information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal(210) through an RNC(Radio Network Controller)(224). An LBS(Location Based Service) platform(260) receives longitude and latitude coordinates from the mobile communication terminal(210) and transfers the received coordinates, or receives the map and transmits the map to the mobile communication terminal(210) through a mobile communication network. An LBS information providing system(270) receives the location information of the mobile communication terminal(210) from the LBS platform(260) and provides a proper LBS service to the mobile communication terminal(210) on the basis of the location information.
