Abstract

Provided are a system, mobile terminal, and method for storing data into a web storage using a wireless LAN service. The method includes setting synchronization of the mobile terminal and a web server providing a web storage service; setting data of the mobile terminal to be stored into a web storage provided by the web server; sensing whether the mobile terminal enters a wireless LAN service area; connecting, if it is sensed that the mobile terminal enters a wireless LAN service area, the mobile terminal to the web server; and transmitting the set mobile terminal data to the web server.

Claims

1. A wireless LAN service system for storing data of a mobile terminal into a web storage using a wireless LAN service, the system comprising:

a mobile terminal capable of using a wireless LAN service;

a wireless connection device for setting a wireless LAN service area; and

a web server providing a web storage service for storing data of the mobile terminal.

2. The wireless LAN service system of claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal comprises:

a control unit for setting synchronization of the web server with the mobile terminal and transmitting mobile terminal data to the web server;

a display unit for displaying a storage completion message when the mobile terminal data is completely stored into a web storage provided by the web server; and

a storage unit for storing an identifier of the web server synchronized with the mobile terminal and mobile terminal data to be transmitted to the web server.

3. The wireless LAN service system of claim 2, wherein the control unit comprises:

a setting unit for synchronizing the web server and the mobile terminal, setting a mobile terminal user ID and password to be used in the web server, and setting the mobile terminal data to be stored into the web storage provided by the web server;

a sensing unit for sensing whether the mobile terminal enters or exits the wireless LAN service area; and

a transmitting unit for transmitting the set data to the web server.

4. The wireless LAN service system of claim 3, wherein the web server comprises:

a control module for executing member authentication by the user ID and password set in the mobile terminal;

a web storage for providing a storage space for storing the transmitted mobile terminal data; and

a file module for executing a system file check on the transmitted data stored in the web storage.

5. The wireless LAN service system of claim 2, wherein the mobile terminal data contains at least one of directory data, moving image data, still image data and MP3 music data.

6. The wireless LAN service system of claim 4, wherein, in the case that transmitted data stored in the web storage is lost or damaged, the system file check changes the name of the data and restores the data into a stored version of the data.

7. A mobile terminal for storing data into a web storage using a wireless LAN service, the mobile terminal comprising:

a control unit for setting synchronization with a web server and transmitting data stored in the mobile terminal to the web server;

a display unit for displaying a storage completion message when the data is completely stored into a web storage provided by the web server; and

a storage unit for storing setting data of the synchronization of the web server and data to be transmitted to the web server.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein the control unit comprises:

a setting unit for synchronizing the web server and the mobile terminal, setting a mobile terminal user ID and password to be used in the web server, and then setting mobile terminal data to be stored into the web storage provided by the web server;

a sensing unit for sensing whether the mobile terminal enters or exits a wireless LAN service area; and

a transmitting unit connected to the web server for transmitting the set data to the web server.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein the control unit obtains member authentication from the web server by the set user ID and password.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein, if the sensing unit senses that the mobile terminal exits the wireless LAN service area during transmission of the set data to the web server, the transmitting unit stops transmission of the data.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 10, wherein the transmitting unit retransmits the mobile terminal data whose transmission was stopped from a stopped portion of the data or from the start of the data.

12. A method for storing mobile terminal data into a web storage using a wireless LAN service, the method comprising:

setting synchronization of the mobile terminal and a web server providing a web storage service;

setting mobile terminal data to be stored into a web storage provided by the web server;

sensing whether the mobile terminal enters a wireless LAN service area;

connecting, if it is sensed that the mobile terminal enters a wireless LAN service area, the mobile terminal to the web server; and

transmitting the set mobile terminal data to the web server.

13. The method for storing the mobile terminal data of claim 12, further comprising:

setting a user ID and password subscribing to the web server synchronized with the mobile terminal.

14. The method for storing the mobile terminal data of claim 13, further comprising:

obtaining member authentication from the web server by the set user ID and password.

15. The method for storing the mobile terminal data of claim 12, further comprising:

stopping, if it is sensed that the mobile terminal exits the wireless LAN service during transmission of the set mobile terminal data to the web server, transmission of the data.

16. The method for storing the mobile terminal data of claim 15, further comprising:

selecting, if it is sensed that the mobile terminal, after exiting the wireless LAN service area, reenters the wireless LAN area, retransmission of the data whose transmission was stopped.

17. The method for storing the mobile terminal data of claim 16, wherein retransmission of the data whose transmission was stopped is one of retransmission from a stopped portion of the data and retransmission from the start of the data.

18. The method for storing the mobile terminal data of claim 12, further comprising:

storing the data transmitted from the mobile terminal into the web storage.

19. The method for storing the mobile terminal data of claim 18, further comprising:

displaying, when the mobile terminal data is completely stored into the web storage, a storage completion message on the mobile terminal.
