Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A terminal apparatus provides shared profile information that is selectively received from a server based on a relationship between a first user and a second user, according to whether information of the second user is stored in the terminal apparatus of the first user as local profile information and information of the first user is stored in the terminal apparatus of the second user as the local profile information. Accordingly, a phonebook service for desired profile information is provided only for users in a buddy relationship sharing contact information with each other.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A user terminal apparatus, comprising: a display device; a storing device configured to store, for a first user, local profile information of a second user; a communicating device configured to transmit at least part of the local profile information to a server and receive shared profile information of the second user from the server based on a relationship between the first user and the second user; and a control device configured to control the display device in order to display a User Interface (UI) screen including the local profile information of the second user and at least part of the shared profile information of the second user that is different from the local profile information of the second user, wherein the shared profile information is selectively received from the server based on the relationship between the first user and the second user, according to whether information of the second user is stored in the terminal apparatus of the first user as the local profile information and information of the first user is stored in the terminal apparatus of the second user as the local profile information.
