LOCATION INFORMATION-BASED COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND LOCATION INFORMATION-BASED COMMUNICATION APPLICATION APPARATUS

摘要

A location information-based communication apparatus and method are disclosed. The location information-based communication apparatus includes a transmission terminal, a communication control unit, a local terminal location storage unit, and reception target terminals. The transmission terminal transmits information about a call connection location selected by a user to the communication control unit, outputs a list of information about one or more reception target terminals which are present around the call connection location on a screen, and transmits a call signal to the communication control unit. The communication control unit receives the list of the reception target terminals from a local terminal location storage unit, transmits the list of information about the reception target terminals to the transmission terminal, and connects the transmission terminal to desired reception target terminals by connecting to phone numbers of the reception target terminals over a wired or wireless communication network.

主权项

1. A location information-based communication method, comprising:
a first step in which a communication control unit of a communication company receives information about a call connection location (reception target location information) used for call connection from a transmission terminal; a second step in which the communication control unit requests a list of information about reception target terminals, which exist around the call connection location corresponding to the information about the call connection location, from a local terminal location storage unit which is in charge of the corresponding call connection location, and the communication control unit receives the list of information about the reception target terminals, which has been transmitted from the local terminal location storage unit in response to the request; a third step in which the communication control unit transmits the list of information about the reception target terminals, which was received in the second step, to the transmission terminal and waits for reception of a call signal; and a fourth step in which the communication control unit receives the call signal transmitted in such a way that a user of the transmission terminal selects any one or more reception target terminals from the list of information about the reception target terminals, and connects the transmission terminal to the reception target terminals by connecting to phone numbers of the reception target terminals corresponding to the received call signal over a wired or wireless communication network.
