SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING STORE INFORMATION USING CELL-PHONE, AND THE METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A system and a method for providing store information using a mobile communication terminal are provided to supply a user with information about a store based on a store sign image photographed through the terminal and a location where the photographing is performed, thereby helping decision making of a user. A mobile communication terminal extracts sign feature data from a sign image of a store photographed through a camera. An information providing server(200) searches data, corresponding to the sign feature data transmitted form the mobile communication terminal, in a sign feature database(210). The information providing server reads store information linked with the searched data from a store information database(220), and transmits the read information to the mobile communication terminal. A GPS(Global Positioning System) acquires data about a location where the sign image is photographed. The information providing server narrows a search range in the sign feature database by using the transmitted location data.
