a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with a counterpart terminal; a display unit configured to display messages communicated with a counterpart of the counterpart terminal; and a controller configured to receive a selection signal selecting a first message included in the displayed messages, extract data including at least one of counterpart contact information, time information and memo information from the selected first message in response to the received selection signal, and update or add information stored in the memory of the mobile terminal using the extracted data. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile terminal comprising: a memory configured to store data; a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with a counterpart terminal; a display unit configured to display messages communicated with a counterpart of the counterpart terminal; and a controller configured to: receive a selection signal selecting a first message included in the displayed messages, extract data including at least one of counterpart contact information, time information and memo information from the selected first message in response to the received selection signal, and update or add information stored in the memory of the mobile terminal using the extracted data. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the extracted data is less than an entire portion of data included in the first message. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when the selection signal corresponds to a touch selection of the first message, the controller is further configured to first output an option for requesting extraction of the data, and to update or add the information in the memory for the counterpart corresponding to the first message when the output option is selected. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein when the displayed messages are from at least first and second counterparts, the output option includes options for selecting one of the first and second counterparts, and the controller is further configured to update or add the information in the memory for the selected counterpart. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein when the selection signal corresponds to a touch and drag from the first message to a counterpart indicator, the controller is further configured to automatically update or add the information in the memory for the counterpart corresponding to the counterpart indicator without first outputting the option for requesting extraction of the data. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when the extracted data corresponds to the counterpart contact information, the controller is further configured to update or add contact information of the counterpart and stored in the memory of the mobile terminal using the extracted data. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The mobile terminal of claim 6, wherein the counterpart contact information includes one of an email address and a phone number of the counterpart. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when the extracted data corresponds to the time information, the controller is further configured to update or add scheduling information for the counterpart and stored in the memory of the mobile terminal using the extracted data. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein the scheduling information includes at least one of a time, a date and a place of a schedule for the counterpart of the first message. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when the extracted data corresponds to the memo information, the controller is further configured to update or add memo information of the counterpart and stored in the memory of the mobile terminal using the extracted data. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The mobile terminal of claim 10, wherein the memo information includes a memo keyword previously stored in the memory of the mobile terminal, and wherein the memo keyword indicates to the controller that the extracted data relates to a memo storing function. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the extracted data includes at least one of a text string of an email format, a text string of a phone number format and a multimedia file of an image format as the counterpart information. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to display a list of contacts included in a phonebook stored in the memory and to display at least one of a first indication indicating a number of schedules updated or added for a corresponding contact and a second indication indicating a number of memos updated or added for the corresponding contact. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the first indication indicates a schedule that is first arriving among the number of schedules updated or added. ### Claim 15 A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising: displaying, via a display unit of the mobile terminal, messages communicated with a counterpart of a counterpart terminal; receiving, via a controller of the mobile terminal, a selection signal selecting a first message included in the displayed messages; extracting, via the controller, data including at least one of counterpart contact information, time information and memo information from the selected first message in response to the received selection signal; and updating or adding, via the controller, information stored in the memory of the mobile terminal using the extracted data. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the extracted data is less than an entire portion of data included in the first message. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein when the selection signal corresponds to a touch selection of the first message, the method further comprises first outputting an option for requesting extraction of the data, and updating or adding the information in the memory for the counterpart corresponding to the first message when the output option is selected. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, wherein when the displayed messages are from at least first and second counterparts, the output option includes options for selecting one of the first and second counterparts, and the method further comprises updating or adding the information in the memory for the selected counterpart. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, wherein when the selection signal corresponds to a touch and drag from the first message to a counterpart indicator, the method further comprises automatically updating or adding the information in the memory for the counterpart corresponding to the counterpart indicator without first outputting the option for requesting extraction of the data. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein when the extracted data corresponds to the counterpart information, the method further comprises updating or adding contact information of the counterpart and stored in the memory of the mobile terminal using the extracted data.
