System for providing address using geocoding application programming interface in open service platform
First Claim
1. A gateway which provides an address using a geocoding API (application programming interface) in an open service platform, comprising:
- a terminal address web module which is connected to an application server;
a main module which performs main processing and has a function of an RMI (remote method invocation) server;
a terminal address management unit which performs a geocoding function; and
a location management unit which obtains location information and address information of a mobile terminal according to a request from the terminal address management unit to provide the information to the application server.

Abstract
A system for providing an address using a geocoding application programming interface (API) in an open service platform and a method thereof are provided. The system includes an application server which performs an address service and a function of a web server, a location information server which provides location information of a mobile terminal, an address server which provides the address information corresponding to the location information, and a service gateway which accesses the location information server and the address server in order to provide the address information to the application server according to a request of the application server. Since a telecommunication carrier has a location information server and an address server, a gateway and an application server can communicate with each other using a standard geocoding API. The address server performs mapping of the location received from the location information server to the corresponding address, and the gateway transmits the address to the application server. Accordingly, even though a service provider need not have the address server, the service provider can provide the information received from the gateway to a user.
