Abstract
An apparatus and method for forming a user interface for a mobile terminal based on human relations are provided. The method includes creating a piece of log data corresponding to a communication event, calculating a level of intimacy between the user and a counterpart for a target duration using the log data and displaying human relations of the user on the basis of the intimacy level. A user item representing the user and a counterpart item representing the counterpart are displayed in a human relations network screen. Lower-level screens are allocated to provide summary and detailed information on the log data and to enable communication. A new user interface, which is based not on functions but on human relations, enables the user to readily identify a trend in human relations and levels of communication with other persons.
