Abstract
The present invention relates to a video communication terminal and a method of providing road guidance using the same. More specifically, the present invention provides a road guidance service to a user during video communication by transmitting the user's location information to a user of a correspondent video communication terminal and receiving road guidance information from the correspondent video communication terminal. The method of road guidance includes requesting, by a first video communication terminal road guidance, to a second video communication terminal through video communication, transmitting, if the first video communication terminal receives a signal accepting to provide the road guidance from the second video communication terminal, a location value of the first video communication terminal to the second video communication terminal and displaying a map including the location of the first video communication terminal in the second video communication terminal. A user of the video communication terminal may thereby receive precise road guidance, without an invasion of the user's privacy.
