Abstract

A method and an apparatus provide a customized service based on a user log in a wireless communication system. A method of a terminal collects user data existing inside a terminal. The method transmits the user data to a log manage server. The method receives a mission determined based on user data from the log manage server. The method transmits performance results regarding the mission to the log manage server.

Claims

1. A method of a terminal for providing a customized service based on a user log, the method comprising:

collecting user data existing inside the terminal;

transmitting the user data to a log manage server;

receiving a mission determined based on user data from the log manage server; and

transmitting performance results regarding the mission to the log manage server.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user data comprises at least one of photo data, video data, Personal Information Management System (PIMS) data, a contents use history, a voice memo, a text memo, location and time information, Social Networking System (SNS) related data, electronic mail use history, Internet use history, an electronic device use history, a communication record, and a message record.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving compensation for performing the mission from the log manage server.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a message representing a mission performance failure from the log manage server; and

determining whether to re-perform the mission.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the performance results regarding the mission to the log manage server comprises:

determining whether performance of the mission is completed,

wherein completion of the performance of the mission is determined using at least one of data occurring inside the terminal and a user input.

6. A method of a server for providing a customized service based on a user log, the method comprising:

collecting user data from a terminal;

determining a mission corresponding to the user data from a plurality of missions registered in advance;

transmitting the mission to the terminal; and

receiving a performance result of the mission.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the user data comprises at least one of data, video data, Personal Information Management System (PIMS) data, a contents use history, a voice memo, a text memo, location and time information, Social Networking System (SNS) related data, electronic mail use history, Internet use history, an electronic device use history, a communication record, and a message record.

8. The method of claim 6 further comprising:

analyzing performance results regarding the mission to determine whether the mission is successful; and

responsive to determining that the mission is successful, providing compensation for performance of the mission to the terminal.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

responsive to determining that the mission is not successful, transmitting a message representing a mission performance failure to the terminal.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein each of the plurality of missions is mapped to at least one of user data and compensation.

11. An apparatus of a terminal for providing a customized service based on a user log, the apparatus comprising:

a log collector configured to collect user data existing inside the terminal;

a transceiver configured to transmit the user data to a log manage server and receive a mission determined based on the user data from the log manage server; and

a mission performance manager configured to provide a performance result regarding the mission to the log manage server via the transceiver.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the user data comprises at least one of photo data, video data, Personal Information Management System (PIMS) data, contents use history, a voice memo, a text memo, location and time information, Social Networking System (SNS) related data, electronic mail use history, Internet use history, an electronic device use history, a communication record, and a message record.

13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive compensation for performance of the mission from the log manage server.

14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive a message representing a mission performance failure from the log manage server and wherein the mission performance manager is further configured to determine whether to re-perform the mission.

15. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the mission performance manager is further configured to determine whether performance of the mission is completed using at least one of data occurring inside the terminal and a user input.

16. An apparatus of a server for providing a customized service based on a user log, the apparatus comprising:

a log collector configured to collect user data from a terminal;

a mission determination unit configured to determine a mission corresponding to the user data from a plurality of missions registered in advance; and

a transceiver configured to transmit the mission to the terminal and receive a performance result regarding the mission.

17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the user data comprises at least one of data, video data, Personal Information Management System (PIMS) data, contents use history, a voice memo, a text memo, location and time information, Social Networking System (SNS) related data, electronic mail use history, Internet use history, an electronic device use history, a communication record, and a message record.

18. The apparatus of claim 16, further comprising:

a mission performance result unit configured to analyze a performance result regarding the mission to determine whether the mission is successful; and

a compensation manager configured to, responsive to a determination that the mission is successful, perform a function for providing compensation for performance of the mission to the terminal.

19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the compensation manager is further configured to, responsive to a determination that the mission is not successful, perform a function for transmitting a message representing a mission performance failure to the terminal.

20. The apparatus of claim 16 further comprising:

a storage unit configured to store a mapping of each of the plurality of missions to at least one of user data and compensation.
