METHOD FOR CONTROLLING USER INTERFACE MENU, AND MOBILE TERMINAL AND DEVICE FOR PROVIDING APPLICATION SERVICE USING THE SAME

A method for controlling a user interface menu, and a mobile terminal and a device for providing application service using the same are provided to allow a menu to be changed depending on the service attitude of a provided application service without any change of a corresponding terminal's standard, thereby promoting the convenience of a user using the application service. A method for controlling a user interface menu comprises the following several steps. If a user attempts an application service, the user manipulates the mobile communication terminal to request the application service. Accordingly, a call requesting the application service is sent from the mobile communication terminal(S501). If a mobile communication system receives a call connection request sent from the mobile communication terminal, the mobile communication system checks that the received request is an application service requesting call by referring to a destination number of the received call. Accordingly, the mobile communication system accesses an application service providing device corresponding to the destination to transmit a request message for session setup(S502). Then, the mobile communication system performs the negotiating process according to a standard between the mobile communication system and the application service providing device and another standard between the mobile communication system and the mobile communication terminal. Accordingly, the call is connected between the mobile communication terminal requesting the application service and the application service providing device providing the application service(S503). If the call is connected, the corresponding application service is provided from the application service providing device to the pertinent mobile communication terminal through the connected call. At this time, the application service providing device checks the application service provided to the mobile communication terminal and determines whether it is necessary to transfer user interface menu forming information(S504). If it is determined that it is necessary to transfer user interface menu forming information, the application service providing device notifies the mobile communication terminal of the user interface menu configuration information corresponding to the pertinent application service attitude(S505). The mobile communication terminal, which has been notified the user interface menu forming information, changes a user interface m
