4. The method for providing a linkage service of address book data between telematics and a mobile terminal according to claim 1 or 2,

wherein, after receiving the address book data transmission request from the telematics device, the step (c) transmits an address book data of the mobile terminal of the subscriber stored in an address book link server to the telematics device.

5. The method for providing a linkage service of address book data between telematics and a mobile terminal according to claim 1 or 2,

wherein the step (a) includes:

receiving a call transfer service request information including a subscriber identification information and a subscriber certification information from a telematics device mounted in a vehicle; and

distinguishing a subscriber of the telematics device through subscriber identification by the subscriber identification information and subscriber certification by the subscriber certification information.

6. The method for providing a linkage service of address book data between telematics and a mobile terminal according to claim 1 or 2, further comprising:

before the step (a),

periodically receiving an address book data stored in the mobile terminal of the subscriber, and updating and storing the address book data into an address book link server.

7. A system for providing a linkage service of address book data between telematics and a mobile terminal in a call transfer service between the telematics and the mobile terminal that interworks with a mobile communication network, the system comprising:

a subscriber database for storing a service registration information including a subscriber information of a telematics device mounted in a vehicle, and a terminal information about the telematics device and the mobile terminal of the subscriber;

an address book database for collecting address book data stored in mobile terminals of a plurality of subscribers, and classifying and storing the address book data according to mobile terminal; and

a call transfer service module interworking with the subscriber database to receive a call transfer service request information from the telematics device, analyzing the call transfer service request information to distinguish a subscriber of the telematics device and check information about the telematics device and the mobile terminal of the subscriber, and requesting the mobile communication network to switch a service connection with the mobile communication network from the checked mobile terminal to the telematics device; and

an address book link module for extracting an address book data of the mobile terminal checked in the call transfer service module from the address book database and transmitting the address book data to the telematics device.

8. The system for providing a linkage service of address book data between telematics and a mobile terminal according to claim 7,

wherein the address book link module further includes an updating unit for periodically receiving an address book data stored in the mobile terminal of the subscriber and updating and storing the address book data into the address book database.

9. The system for providing a linkage service of address book data between telematics and a mobile terminal according to claim 7 or 8,

wherein the address book link module further includes a subscriber checking unit for judging whether the subscriber of the mobile terminal checked in the call transfer service module is the same person as a subscriber who used the telematics device previously, and in the case that the subscriber of the telematics device is the same person as a subscriber who used the telematics device previously, not transmitting an address book data.

10. The system for providing a linkage service of address book data between telematics and a mobile terminal according to claim 7 or 8,

wherein the address book link module further includes a link request receiving unit for performing address book link processing after receiving the address book data transmission request from the telematics device.
