Method for transmitting destination information in mobile communication terminal
A method for transmitting and for storing destination information in a mobile communication terminal is disclosed. The method for transmitting destination information includes determining whether a navigation mode is enabled and, if the navigation mode is enabled, determining whether a hot key is pressed for a predetermined time. If the hot key is pressed for the predetermined time, destination address information corresponding to the hot key is read, and transmitted to an information center over a wireless network. Therefore, since a phone book of the mobile communication terminal is interworked with destination address information for navigation, the present invention simplifies procedures needed to transmit the destination address information using the mobile communication terminal.
1. A method for transmitting destination information in a mobile communication terminal having a memory storing destination address information, comprising the steps of:
determining whether a navigation service mode is enabled;
if the navigation service mode is enabled, determining whether a hot key is pressed for a predetermined time; and
if the hot key is pressed for the predetermined time, reading pre-stored destination location information corresponding to the hot key, and transmitting the pre-stored destination location information to an information center over a wireless network, the pre-stored destination location information including location information.
2. A method for storing destination location information in a mobile communication terminal having a memory storing a phone book, comprising the steps of:
receiving a destination location information by a user;
assigning an arbitrary entry in said phone book to which the destination location information has not yet been registered by the user, the arbitrary entry including a phone number and corresponding destination location information including a physical address;
registering said input destination location information in said assigned entry; and
transmitting pre-sorted destination location information to an information center if a hot key corresponding to a predetermined entry is pressed when a navigation service mode is enabled.
3. The method as set forth in claim 2 , further comprising the step of:
selecting the destination location information in a form of categories provided from the information center, and storing a categorized destination location information in the memory.
4. The method as set forth in claim 2 , further comprising the step of:
storing the destination location information by employing bookmark information previously stored in an ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) terminal.
5. The method as set forth in claim 2 , further comprising the step of:
storing the destination location information by employing recent navigation target information previously stored in an ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) terminal.
