Abstract

A mobile communication terminal, a method for transmitting/receiving data by a mobile communication terminal in a communication system, and a communication system comprising at least one mobile communication terminal are provided. The terminal includes a communication module for performing short-distance communication, a context engine for extracting a tag from contents data, and a controller for generating the contents data, generating profile information using the tag, and controlling the communication module to broadcast the profile data and the contents data.

Claims

1. A terminal comprising:

a communication interface configured to perform short-distance communication with an external device;

a memory; and

a processor configured to;

store first tag information in the memory,

receive second tag information from the external device through the short-distance communication, and

determine whether or not to receive content associated with the received second tag information from the external device, based on the received second tag information and the stored first tag information.

2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein, if the content associated with the received second tag information is received from the external device, the processor is configured to store the received content in the memory.

3. The terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether the first tag information corresponds to the second tag information, request the content associated with the second tag information to the external device if the first tag information corresponds to the second tag information, and receive the content from the external device in response to the request.

4. The terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to generate first log information based on the content, and store the first log information in the memory.

5. The terminal as claimed in claim 4, wherein, if the content is removed in the memory, the processor is further configured to identify information on the content based on the first log information.

6. The terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to generate first log information based on the content, determine whether the first log information corresponds to second log information stored in the memory, and store the first log information in the memory if the first log information corresponds to the second log information stored in the memory.

7. The terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the content includes at least one of an advertisement, a guidance, multimedia data and a text message.

8. The terminal as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second tag information includes at least one of a character and an image included in the content.

9. A method for transmitting/receiving data at a terminal, the method comprising:

storing first tag information in a memory;

receiving second tag information from the external device through the short-distance communication; and

determining whether or not to receive content associated with the received second tag information from the external device, based on the received second tag information and the stored first tag information.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

if the content associated with the received second tag information is received from the external device, storing the received content in the memory.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

determining whether the first tag information corresponds to the second tag information;

requesting the content associated with the second tag information to the external device if the first tag information corresponds to the second tag information; and

receiving the content from the external device in response to the request.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

generating the first log information based on the content; and

storing the first log information in the memory.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12, further comprising:

if the content is removed in the memory, identifying information on the content based on the first log information.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

generating first log information based on the content;

determining whether the first log information corresponds to second log information stored in the memory;

storing the first log information in the memory if the first log information corresponds to the second log information stored in the memory.

15. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the content includes at least one of an advertisement, a guidance, multimedia data and a text message.

16. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the second tag information includes at least one of a character and an image included in the content.
