Mobile terminal and method for controlling place recognition
First Claim
1. A method for controlling place recognition in a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- collecting, by a processor of the mobile terminal, at least one of state information about the mobile terminal and user personal information stored in the mobile terminal;
determining, by the processor, whether a current place of the mobile terminal is a major place that a user has previously visited at least a number of times, using the collected information;
determining, by the processor, if it is determined that the current place of the mobile terminal is a major place, whether the current place has been registered using at least one signal received externally; and
outputting, on a touch screen of the mobile terminal, if the current place has been registered, information about the current place,wherein the state information includes moving state information of the mobile terminal, and information generated by at least one sensor of the mobile terminal, andwherein determining whether the current place of the mobile terminal is the major place comprises;
calculating, by the processor, a probability corresponding to the moving state of the mobile terminal and the visiting of the major place; and
comparing, by the processor, the calculated probability with a threshold set for determining whether the current place is the major place.

Abstract
A mobile terminal and method for controlling place recognition are provided. The method includes collecting at least one of state information about a mobile terminal and user information stored in the mobile terminal, determining whether a current place of the mobile terminal is a major place that the user has previously visited at least a number of times using the collected information, determining, if it is determined that the current place of the mobile terminal is a major place, whether the current place has been registered using at least one signal received externally, and outputting a result of the determination as to whether the current place has been registered.

10. A mobile terminal for controlling place recognition, the mobile terminal comprising:
-
a sensor module configured to sense a state of the mobile terminal; a processor configured to collect at least one of state information representing the sensed state of the mobile terminal and user personal information stored in the mobile terminal, determine whether a current place of the mobile terminal is a major place that a user has previously visited at least a number of times using the collected information, and determine whether the current place has been registered using at least one signal received externally; and a touch screen configured to output, if the current place has been registered, information about the current place, wherein the state information includes moving state information of the mobile terminal, and information generated by at least one sensor of the mobile terminal, and wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a probability corresponding to the moving state of the mobile terminal and the visiting of the major place, and to compare the calculated probability with a threshold set for determining whether the current place is the major place. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
