System, mobile terminal and method for storing data into web storage using wireless LAN

Abstract

Provided are a system, mobile terminal, and method for storing data into a web storage using a wireless LAN service. The method includes setting synchronization of the mobile terminal and a web server providing a web storage service; setting data of the mobile terminal to be stored into a web storage provided by the web server; sensing whether the mobile terminal enters a wireless LAN service area; connecting, if it is sensed that the mobile terminal enters a wireless LAN service area, the mobile terminal to the web server; and transmitting the set mobile terminal data to the web server.

Problems solved by technology

However, mobile terminals have relatively small storage spaces compared with the high-capacity services, and thus the mobile terminals have a limitation in storing multimedia data.

However, expanding the capacity of an internal memory has a problem of increased size of a mobile terminal caused by expansion of the size of the internal memory.

Mounting a memory card externally on a mobile terminal has a problem of carrying the mobile terminal with a memory card so as to use multimedia data stored in the memory card.

Transmitting mobile terminal data to a PC using a USB cable has a problem of carrying the mobile terminal with a USB cable for connecting to a PC so as to store data stored in the mobile terminal into the PC, otherwise it is impossible to store data in a PC, and the PC also needs to be turned on and be connected to the USB cable.

Storing mobile terminal data on the Internet has a relatively slower data transmission speed than transmitting mobile terminal data to a PC, and requires connection to a wireless Internet for data transmission, thereby increasing costs.
