METHOD AND SMART CARD FOR PROVIDING LOCATION-BASED SERVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a smart card for providing a location-based service. The smart card coupled to a mobile communication terminal includes a card-specific GPS (Global Positioning System) module for receiving a wave signal from at least one or more artificial satellites and extracting navigation data included in the wave signal; a card-specific communication module for transmitting/receiving data related to the location-based service linked with the mobile communication terminal; a card-specific  storage module for storing map data related to the location-based service and indoor map data; a card-specific indoor module for providing a location-based service using the indoor map data; and a card-specific LBS platform for providing a location-based service for extracting the present location of the mobile communication terminal by using the navigation data and providing the present location, and controlling the specific purpose indoor module for card such that the specific purpose indoor module for card is converted into an active state if no wave signal from the artificial satellite is received at the card-specific GPS module.
