Abstract

A mobile communication system and a method for capturing information of other mobile communication terminals located within a distance from the user'"'"'s mobile communication terminal may include a first mobile communication terminal for transmitting capture signal, location information and identification information; the second mobile communication terminals for transmitting location information and identification information of the second mobile communication terminals; and a base station for transmitting the GPS driving signal to the second mobile communication terminals and capturing information of the second mobile communication terminals.

Claims

1. A mobile communication system for capturing information of a mobile communication terminal, comprising:

a first mobile communication terminal to transmit a capture signal to receive information of other mobile communication terminals, and to transmit first location information of the first mobile communication terminal; and

a base station to receive the capture signal and the first location information, to transmit a global positioning system (GPS) driving signal to a plurality of second mobile communication terminals within a range of the base station in response to receiving the capture signal from the first mobile communication terminal, and to capture information of each second mobile communication terminal located within a set range of the first mobile communication terminal,

wherein each of the plurality of second mobile communication terminals transmits second location information to the base station in response to receiving the GPS driving signal.

2. A mobile communication system for capturing information of a mobile communication terminal, comprising:

a first mobile communication terminal to transmit a capture signal to receive information of other mobile communication terminals, first location information of the first mobile communication terminal, and first identification information of the first mobile communication terminal; and

a base station to receive the capture signal, the first location information, and the first identification information, to transmit a global positioning system (GPS) driving signal to a plurality of second mobile communication terminals within a range of the base station in response to receiving the capture signal from the first mobile communication terminal, and to capture information of each second mobile communication terminal located within a set range of the first mobile communication terminal,

wherein each of the plurality of second mobile communication terminals transmits second location information and second identification information to the base station in response to receiving the GPS driving signal.
