Patent ID: 8380192

Claim:
A method for managing profile information of a mobile terminal in a mobile communications system, comprising: registering profile information of the mobile terminal at a central system via a local system, the profile information having dynamic profile information and static profile information; registering DB (database) information of an external local system using a same profile format as that used in the central system to thereby manage the dynamic profile information and the static profile information of the mobile terminal; and registering DB information of another external local system using a profile format different from that used in the central system to thereby manage the dynamic profile information and the static profile information of the mobile terminal, wherein registering DB information of another external local system includes: establishing a connection between the central system and a database of the external system using the profile format different from that used in the central system; collecting the DB information of the database; comparing the profile format used in the database with that used in the central system; performing, if the profile format used in the database is different from that used in the central system, a format conversion for supporting compatibility between different profile formats; and analyzing and classifying the DB information of the database.
