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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A terminal, comprising:
a communication interface configured to perform short-distance communication; and
a processor configured to:
receive first profile information and first contents data,
generate log data based on the received first profile information and first contents data,
determine if the generated log data and previously stored log data coincide with each other or not,
update the previously stored log data if the generated log data and the previously stored log data coincide with each other, and
store the updated log data.

2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the communication interface is further configured to generate a personal area network (PAN), and
wherein the processor is further configured to control the communication interface to broadcast the first profile information and the first content data in the PAN.

3. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate the first contents data according to an input received from a user.

4. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first contents data corresponds to at least one of an advertisement, a guidance, multimedia data and a text message.

5. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first profile information comprises at least one tag extracted from the first contents data, and the first tag corresponds to at least one of a character and an image included in the first contents data.

6. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the communication interface is further configured to receive second profile information broadcasted from one or more second electronic devices,
wherein a context engine extracts one or more second tags from the second profile information, and
wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine whether the one or more second tags and previously stored tag coincide with each other or not, and
control the communication interface to receive second contents data corresponding to the one or more second tags if the one or more second tags and previously stored tag coincide with each other.

7. The as claimed in claim 1 , wherein,
if the generated log data and previously stored log data coincide with each other, the processor is further configured to inform a user that the generated log data and the previously stored log data coincide with each other.

8. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a display configured to display the second content data from the one or more second electronic devices.

9. A method for transmitting/receiving data at a terminal, the method comprising:
receiving first profile information and first contents data;
generating log data to be used based on the received first profile information and first contents data;
determining if the generated log data and previously stored log data coincide with each other or not;
updating the previously stored log data if the generated log data and the previously stored log data coincide with each other; and
storing the updated log data.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , before generation of the first contents data, further comprising generating a personal area network (PAN),
wherein the first contents data and the first profile information is broadcast in the PAN.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first contents data corresponds to at least one of an advertisement, a guidance, multimedia data and a text message.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first profile information comprises at least one tag extracted from the first contents data, and the tag corresponds to at least one of a character and an image included in first the contents data.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving second profile information broadcasted from one or more electronic devices;
extracting one or more second tags from the second profile information;
determining whether the one or more second tags and previously stored tag coincide with each other or not; and
if the one or more second tags and previously stored tag coincide with each other, receiving second contents data corresponding to the one or more second tags.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising:
if the generated log data and previously stored log data coincide with each other, informing a user that the generated log data and the previously stored log data coincide with each other.

15. The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising:
displaying the second content data from the one or more electronic devices.
