System and method for controlling functions of mobile communication terminal in a restricted zone
First Claim
1. A system for controlling functions of a mobile communication terminal, the system comprising:
- a function control apparatus for requesting a function list including all functions capable of being performed by the mobile communication terminal, the function list being stored in the mobile communication terminal, when detecting that the mobile communication terminal has entered a predetermined zone, and generating a first function control list by indicating at least one function to be selectively deactivated among all the functions of the function list, when the function list is received from the mobile communication terminal staying in the predetermined zone, and transmitting the generated first function control list to the mobile communication terminal; and
the mobile communication terminal for transmitting the stored function list to the function control apparatus in response to the request for the function list received from the function control apparatus, and selectively deactivating the at least one function of the stored function list according to the transmitted first function control list.
