Patent ID: 8718929

Claim:
A location information management method of a mobile terminal, the method comprising: determining location information of a current position while in a Global Positioning System (GPS) reception mode; analyzing point sites in a vicinity of the current position; determining at least one of preference routes based on the point sites and the current position; presenting the determined at least one of the preference routes and the point sites on a map;and saving one of a turning point and a stop point as a point site, wherein the at least one of the preference routes is a route connecting the current location with the point sites corresponding to a location which the mobile terminal has passed, wherein the saving of the turning point as the point site comprises: determining route points linked into a predicted route with the determined location information; extracting the turning point at which an absolute angle between two path segments on the predicted route is greater than a threshold angle among the route points; and saving the turning point as the point site, and wherein the saving of the stop point as the point site comprises: extracting the stop point, at which a tarrying time exceeds a stop period, from the determined location information; and saving the stop point as the point site.
