DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL BY USING A GPS(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM) AND A CONTROLLING METHOD THEREFOR, PARTICULARLY IN REFERENCE TO LIMITING A USAGE MODE OF THE MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A device for controlling a mobile communication terminal by using a GPS and a controlling method therefor are provided to limit a usage mode of a mobile communication terminal by using a GPS, thereby collectively controlling functions of the terminal when the terminal is located in a function-limited area. CONSTITUTION: A GPS signal generator generates a GPS signal and a high-power signal, and transmits the generated signals(S10). A mobile communication terminal receives the signals to extract the high-power signal(S12). The terminal decides an operational mode in accordance with the extracted high-power signal(S14). The terminal converts into the decided operational mode, and automatically controls or limits several functions(S20-S26).
