TETHERING PROVIDING SYSTEM AND METHOD USING SHORT DISTANCE COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A tethering providing system using short distance communication, comprising:
- a vehicle terminal device that requests setting of second short distance communication tethering in advance through first short distance communication, and receives, when the second short distance communication tethering is activated through re-connection of the first short distance communication, service connection or service data through the activated second short distance communication tethering;
a communication terminal device that sets the second short distance communication tethering through the first short distance communication with the vehicle terminal device, activates the set second short distance communication tethering when re-connected with the vehicle terminal device through the first short distance communication, and relays service connection or service data through the activated second short distance communication tethering; and
a service providing device that provides service connection or service data to the vehicle terminal device through the relayed communication terminal device.

Abstract
Provided are a tethering providing system and method using short distance communication. More particularly, second short distance communication tethering between a vehicle terminal device and a communication terminal device is set in accordance with whether first short distance communication is established, activated when the vehicle terminal device and the communication terminal device are re-connected through the first short distance communication, and deactivated when the first short distance communication is terminated, thereby providing high-speed data connection through the second short distance communication tethering while reducing battery consumption of the communication terminal device.
