Abstract

A mobile terminal and a method of managing meeting information using the same are provided. The method of managing meeting information using a first mobile terminal includes acquiring meeting information including identification data of at least one location data sharing mobile terminal existing within a meeting distance from the present location of the first mobile terminal in response to a request to acquire meeting information, and displaying the meeting information in response to a request to search the meeting information.

Claims

1. A method of managing meeting information using a first mobile terminal, comprising:

acquiring meeting information comprising identification data of at least one location data sharing mobile terminal existing within a meeting distance from a present location of the first mobile terminal in response to a request to acquire the meeting information; and

displaying the meeting information in response to a request to search the meeting information.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the meeting information further comprises location data of the present location of the at least one location data sharing mobile terminal, and time data of a time point at which a request to acquire meeting information is input.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein acquiring meeting information comprises:

determining whether the location data sharing mobile terminal exists within a meeting distance from the present location of the first mobile terminal using the received location data in response to receipt of the location data of the location data sharing mobile terminal; and

displaying the identification data of the location data sharing mobile terminal when the location data sharing mobile terminal exists within the meeting distance.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein acquiring meeting information comprises:

determining meeting information; and

storing the determined meeting information.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein displaying meeting information comprises displaying meeting information of a plurality of meetings in a list.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein displaying meeting information further comprises:

displaying at least one arrangement condition to arrange the meeting information; and

arranging the meeting information according to a selected arrangement condition in response to selection of the at least one arrangement condition.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein arranging the meeting information comprises arranging the meeting information in a group according to at least one of identification data, location data, and time data.

8. The method of claim 2, further comprising transmitting the displayed meeting information to a second mobile terminal in response to a request to transmit the meeting information.

9. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a controller to acquire meeting information in response to a request to acquire meeting information, the meeting information comprising identification data of at least one location data sharing mobile terminal existing within a meeting distance from a present location of the mobile terminal, and to search for the meeting information; and

a display unit to display the meeting information searched for by the controller.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 9, wherein the meeting information comprises location data of the present location of the at least one location data sharing mobile terminal, and time data of the present time point.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 10, further comprising a radio frequency (RF) unit to transmit the meeting information.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 10, wherein the controller determines whether the location data sharing mobile terminal exists within the meeting distance from the present location of the mobile terminal using the received location data in response to receipt of the location data of the location data sharing mobile terminal, and controls the display unit to display the identification data of the location data sharing mobile terminal when the location data sharing mobile terminal exists within the meeting distance from the present location of the mobile terminal.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 10, further comprising a memory unit to store the meeting distance and the acquired meeting information.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 10, wherein the controller controls the display unitto display meeting information of a plurality of meetings in a list, and arranges the meeting information in a group according to at least one of identification data, location data, and time data.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 10, further comprising a global positioning system (GPS) reception unit to determine the present location of the mobile terminal.
