Abstract: In a system and method for updating a real-time map, operating environment information of a terminal device, which is basic information for update condition determination, is collected, an update condition of a terminal device, which includes one or more of a state of travel, a travel speed, and a network state, is checked by comparing the collected operating environment information with preset criteria, and map data, which is stored in the terminal device, in a combination of one or more of level, tile, and layer units corresponding to the checked update condition, is partially updated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method for partially updating map data based on a user's movement path, a service apparatus and a terminal apparatus thereof, and a recording medium therefor, and the method includes checking a major movement path of a user; receiving map data update information; extracting partial map data to be updated from map data matched with the major movement path of the user to request update information for the extracted partial map data; and receiving the requested update information on the partial map data to update the map data, and according to the present invention, map data matched with a user's major movement path is partially updated by determining the user's major movement path to more efficiently update the map data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system, to a server apparatus, to a terminal apparatus, and to a recording medium for generating a user affinity-based address book, and to a method for generating a user affinity-based address book, which support a user so that the user may intuitively recognize an affinity with a number of other users whose contact information is registered in the address book of the user. The invention is implemented such that: that information on a user's address book is provided; the result of a determination on whether or not the same contact number is shared between the user address book and an address book of each person whose contact information is registered, and the duration and frequency of talks between the user and each person whose contact information is registered; and information on a social address book is generated based on the determined affinity.

Abstract: The game providing terminal applies the concept of an exchange rate, a method for providing a game thereof, a system therefor, a service device therefor, and a recording medium having a program recorded thereon that runs the same, wherein item purchasing or exchanging is carried out by setting currencies and exchange rates to be different according to each piece of game information within a game.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, and to a method, for a telematics service for linking a terminal device, carried by a user, to an electronic vehicle control device mounted in a vehicle in order to provide a telematics service related to the vehicle, thus enabling a driver of the vehicle to easily use various audio-based message services while driving. Through a link between the terminal device and the vehicle electronic control device, an intended lane change can be distinguished from a lane departure caused by inattention while driving, the lane departure can be sensed, and the driver, a passenger, or a driver of another vehicle can be alerted in order to induce safe driving.

Abstract: In a method, system and apparatus for managing vehicle energy, the amount of electric power needed for operating a vehicle is calculated, a surplus amount of electric power that is the current amount of battery power less the calculated amount of electric power is sold, or a number of received location information signals according to the current amount of battery power is adjusted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a real-time map data updating system and method, comprising: collecting operating environment information of a terminal device, which is basic information for update condition determination; checking an update condition of the terminal device which includes one or more of a state of travel, a travel speed, and a network state by comparing the collected operating environment information to preset criteria; and partially updating map data, which is stored in the terminal device, in a combination of one or more of level, tile, and layer units corresponding to the checked update condition.

Abstract: A method and system for a P2P financial transaction can connect to a card company server via a wired/wireless communication network, and a financial card with credit card functions. The method includes closing a first contract involving monetary claim/obligation between members, reporting a first claim amount or a first obligation amount to the card company server, and recording first incoming or first outgoing amounts. The method further includes establishing a second claim amount and a second obligation amount according to a second contract, reporting the second claim amount or the second obligation amount to the card company server, recording second incoming or second outgoing amounts, adding or subtracting respectively to or from the first incoming or the first outgoing amounts, and settling final incoming or outgoing, added or subtracted amounts at regular intervals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing vehicle energy, and particularly relates to a system for managing vehicle energy, and a method and apparatus for same, which can calculate the amount of electric power needed for operating a vehicle, can sell a surplus amount of electric power that is the current amount of battery power less the calculated amount of electric power, or adjust a number of received location information signals according to the current battery power.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for issuing an authentication key for authenticating a user in a CPNS environment. The system comprises a user terminal, a gateway and a CPNS device. The user terminal is equipped with a short-range wireless communication function, requests the gateway to register terminal information including an ID and password, encrypts the terminal information including the ID and password using the password, transmits an authentication request signal including the encrypted terminal information to the gateway, and receives an authentication key generated by a CPNS device. The CPNS device stores the terminal information, performs user authentication by decrypting the encrypted terminal information in response to the authentication request, generates an authentication key for the CPNS when a user is authenticated, encrypts the generated authentication key using the password, and transmits the encrypted authentication key to the user terminal through the gateway.

Abstract: A battery pack of a cellular phone is equipped with a battery and an electronic device such as an MP3 player. When the battery pack is detached from the cellular phone, the battery is a power supply for the MP3 player only. When the battery pack is attached to the cellular phone, the battery is the power supply for both the cellular phone and the MP3 player. A detector detects whether the attached device is a hands free device or an MP3 player, and if an MP3 player is attached to the cellular phone, a switch facilitates communication between the cellular phone and the MP3 player. If the cellular phone orders the MP3 player to play or execute other functions, instructions transmit to the MP3 player through a connector in a battery pack and the MP3 player operates. During MP3 player operation, information such as a name of a song, a singer and playing time transmits to a CPU through a connector and is displayed on a liquid crystal display of the cellular phone.
