Apparatus and method for providing subscriber identity module (SIM) application toolkit service in mobile communication system

1. A method for providing a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Application Toolkit (SAT) service at a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

transmitting, in response to a SAT service request, a SAT service request message to a SIM card;

receiving a server connection command message from the SIM card;

transmitting a connection request message to a toolkit management server;

performing, when a registration message is received from the toolkit management server, a session connection with the toolkit management server;

displaying, when a menu message including a menu of SAT services is received from the toolkit management server, the menu:

generating a selection message including information of a SAT service selected by a user;

transmitting the selection message to the toolkit management server; and

displaying performance results of the selected SAT service, when a result message is received from the toolkit management server.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server connection command message is configured to command connection to a server providing the SAT service.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the connection request message is a USSD connection request message.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a command response message to the SIM card,

wherein the command response message indicates that a command corresponding to the SAT service request message has been executed.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration message includes information for a USSD session connection.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a registration response message to the toolkit management server,

wherein the registration response message indicates that the session connection is successful.

7. A mobile terminal for providing a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Application Toolkit (SAT) service, the terminal comprising:

a SIM card;

a connection manager configured to transmit, in response to a SAT service request, a SAT service request message to the SIM card, receive a server connection command message from the SIM card, transmit a connection request message to a toolkit management server, and perform, when a registration message is received from the toolkit management server, a session connection with the toolkit management server;

a display unit configured to display, when a menu message including a menu of SAT services is received from the toolkit management server, the menu; and

a service processor configured to generate a selection message including information of a SAT service selected by a user, transmit the selection message to the toolkit management server, and control the display unit to display performance results of the selected SAT service, when a result message is received from the toolkit management server.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the server connection command message is configured to command connection to a server providing the SAT service.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the connection request message is a USSD connection request message.

10. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the connection manager is further configured to transmit a command response message to the SIM card, and

wherein the command response message indicates that a command corresponding to the SAT service request message has been executed.

11. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the registration message includes information for a USSD session connection.

12. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the connection manager is further configured to transmit a registration response message to the toolkit management server, and

wherein the registration response message indicates that the session connection is successful.
