Abstract

Provided is a method and apparatus for providing an advertisement service in a mobile communication system. A method of a server for providing an advertisement service in a mobile communication system includes receiving a message for requesting to provide an advertisement corresponding to an advertisement board to a terminal, searching at least one advertisements corresponding to the advertisement board, determining an advertisement corresponding to user attributes of the terminal among the searched advertisements, and transmitting the determined advertisement to an external device.

Claims

1. A method of a server for providing an advertisement service in a mobile communication system, comprising:

receiving a message for requesting to provide an advertisement corresponding to an advertisement board to a terminal;

searching at least one advertisements corresponding to the advertisement board;

determining an advertisement corresponding to user attributes of the terminal among the searched advertisements; and

transmitting the determined advertisement to an external device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user attributes include at least one of age, sex, residence, occupation, and interest.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the server stores advertisements of different features with respect to each advertisement board.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the server prestores user attribute information about each terminal, and the method further comprises searching user attribute information of the terminal on the basis of user information of the terminal included in the received message.

5. A method of a mobile terminal for providing an advertisement service in a mobile communication system, comprising:

detecting a peripheral advertisement board;

transmitting an advertisement request message including user information to the peripheral advertisement board when an advertisement view event for the peripheral advertisement board is generated from a user; and

receiving an advertisement corresponding to the peripheral advertisement board.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein detecting the peripheral advertisement board comprises:

receiving a signal from an IC tag include in the peripheral advertisement board.

7. A method of an advertisement board for providing an advertisement service in a mobile communication system, comprising:

transmitting a signal indicating an advertisement product through an IC tag at predetermined periods;

receiving an advertisement request message including user information from a user through the IC tag; and

transmitting a message for requesting to provide an advertisement corresponding to the advertisement board to the terminal corresponding to the received user information, to a local register server.

8. An apparatus of a server for providing an advertisement service in a mobile communication system, comprising:

a receiving unit for receiving a message for requesting to provide an advertisement corresponding to an advertisement board to a terminal;

a control unit for searching at least one advertisements corresponding to the advertisement board and determining an advertisement corresponding to user attributes of the terminal among the searched advertisements; and

a transmitting unit for transmitting the determined advertisement to an external device.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the user attributes include at least one of age, sex, residence, occupation, and interest.

10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the server stores advertisements of different features with respect to each advertisement board.

11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the server prestores user attribute information about each terminal, and the control unit searches user attribute information of the terminal on the basis of user information of the terminal included in the received message.

12. An apparatus of a mobile terminal for providing an advertisement service in a mobile communication system, comprising:

a communication module for communicating signals with an external device; and

a control unit for detecting a peripheral advertisement board through the communication module, transmitting an advertisement request message including user information to the peripheral advertisement board when an advertisement view event for the peripheral advertisement board is generated from a user, and receiving an advertisement corresponding to the peripheral advertisement board.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the communication module receives a signal from an IC tag included in the peripheral advertisement board, and provides the received signal to the control unit.

14. An apparatus of an advertisement board for providing an advertisement service in a mobile communication system, comprising:

an IC tag for transmitting a signal indicating an advertisement product at predetermined periods, receiving an advertisement request message including user information from a user, and transmitting a message for requesting to provide an advertisement corresponding to the advertisement board to the terminal corresponding to the received user information, to a local register server.
