Abstract

A service providing method of a user terminal device connected to a display apparatus mounted on a moving means includes displaying a stored contact list and guiding one or more routes which displays a route guide screen to selected address information by utilizing a display apparatus if the address information is selected from personal information recorded on the displayed contact list. Accordingly, various services can be provided based on the personal information.

Claims

1. A service providing method of a user terminal device connected to a display apparatus mounted on a moving means, the service providing method comprising:

displaying a contact list stored in the user terminal device;

guiding one or more routes by displaying a route guide screen to a selected address information using the display apparatus when the address information is selected from among personal information of the displayed contact list,

wherein the guiding of the routes comprises transmitting the address information to the display apparatus when the address information is selected on the user terminal by a user making the selection of the address information using only the user terminal,

wherein the route guide screen is created using the address information by a global positioning system (GPS) program implemented in the display apparatus, and

wherein the user terminal device automatically searches for a current position of one or more acquaintances registered on the contact list and additionally mark a position of the respective acquaintances on the route guide screen if acquaintances are located around the routes which are currently displayed on the route guide screen.

2. The service providing method of claim 1, wherein the guiding routes comprises:

implementing a GPS program and creating the route guide screen in the user terminal device when the address information is selected; and

transmitting the route guide screen to the display apparatus such that the route guide screen is displayed on the display apparatus.

3. The service providing method of claim 1, further comprising:

searching for one or more external devices storing schedule information overlapped with the schedule information matching the event when the event occurs;

displaying a list of one or more users regarding the searched external devices; and

re-creating another route guide screen by updating positions of selected users when one or more users are selected from the list, and transmitting the re-created route guide screen to the display apparatus such that the re-created route guide screen is displayed on the display apparatus.

4. The service providing method of claim 1, further comprising:

sharing the screen displayed on the user terminal device with the display apparatus when the user terminal device is connected to the display apparatus.

5. A user terminal device, comprising:

an interface connectable to a display apparatus mounted on a moving means;

a storage to store a contact list;

a display to display the contact list stored in the storage; and

a controller configured to display a route guide screen corresponding to selected address information using the display apparatus when the address information is selected from among personal information of the displayed contact list,

wherein the address information is selected by a user making the selection of the address information using only the user terminal, the controller transmits the address information via the interface to the display apparatus,

wherein the route guide screen is created and displayed using the address information by a global positioning system (GPS) program which is implemented on the display apparatus, and

wherein the user terminal device automatically searches for a current position of one or more acquaintances registered on the contact list and additionally mark a position of the respective acquaintances on the route guide screen if acquaintances are located around the routes which are currently displayed on the route guide screen.

6. The user terminal device of claim 5, wherein, when the address information is selected, the controller implements a GPS program, creates the route guide screen, and transmits the route guide screen via the interface to the display apparatus.

7. The user terminal device of claim 5, wherein the controller searches for one or more external devices storing schedule information overlapped with the schedule information matching the event when the event occurs, displays a list of one or more users regarding the searched external devices, re-creates the route guide screen by updating positions of selected users when one or more users are selected on the list, and displays the re-created route guide screen using the display apparatus.

8. The user terminal device of claim 5, wherein, when the display apparatus is connected to the user terminal device via the interface, the controller shares the screen displayed on the display with the display apparatus.

9. A method of utilizing personal information of a user terminal device, the method comprising:

creating a brief screen by utilizing the personal information of the user terminal device and displaying the brief screen through a display apparatus when the user terminal device is connected to the display apparatus mounted on a moving means;

creating a menu screen and displaying the menu screen through the display apparatus when a user command to discard the brief screen is inputted;

creating a screen including the personal information corresponding to a selected menu and displaying the created screen through the display apparatus when the selected menu is selected from the menu screen; and

creating a service screen corresponding to the selected personal information and displaying the service screen by utilizing the display apparatus when one of the personal information is selected from the screen,

wherein a position and a layout of an object on the brief screen of the display apparatus are different from those of the same object on brief screen of the user terminal,

wherein while transmitting and receiving information between the user terminal and the display apparatus, mutual recognition using media access control (MAC) address is performed, and

wherein the user terminal device automatically searches for a current position of one or more acquaintances registered on a contact list and additionally mark a position of the respective acquaintances on a route guide screen if acquaintances are located around the routes which are currently displayed on the route guide screen.
