Abstract:
A method of controlling a function of a mobile terminal is provided. The method includes placing the mobile terminal within a communication range of a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device previously registered in the mobile terminal, receiving identification information of the BLE device from the BLE device, extracting function information corresponding to the received identification information of the BLE device, and performing a previously set function corresponding to the extracted function information.
Abstract:
An information providing method using a mobile terminal is provided. The method includes placing the mobile terminal within a communication range of a sensor based Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device previously registered in the mobile terminal, receiving identification information and sensing information detected by the sensor based BLE device from the sensor based BLE device, extracting notification information corresponding to the received identification information of the sensor based BLE device, comparing a previously set reference sensing information included in the extracted notification information and the received sensing information, and outputting a notification message included in the notification information based on the comparison of the previously set reference sensing information and the received sensing information.
Abstract:
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.
