Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A home robot controlled by a remote supercomputer. When a user gives a voice command to the home robot, the home robot A/D converts the voice command and transmits the converted command to the supercomputer through a home gateway and a communication network. A control unit in the supercomputer interprets the voice command. Service modules produce appropriate response commands based on the interpreted voice command. The response commands are transmitted to the home robot over a communication network A control unit in the home robot receives the response commands, and upon analysis thereof, controls one or more actions of the home robot by generating one or more of a digital voice signal, motion control signal and an image signal. The digital voice signal is converted to an analog signal for reproduction through a speaker. A driving unit moves body components of the home robot in response to one or more of the motion control signals from the control unit.
