Method of providing golf contents in mobile terminal

A computer-implemented method for providing information associated with a mobile terminal using a Global Positioning System (GPS), the method comprising:

• displaying a list of golf courses from the closest distance of a location of the mobile terminal in response to detection of a requesting signal associated with operation of golf contents;
• calculating, by a processor of the computer, a distance between the mobile terminal and a tee ground of a hole of a course upon detection of the course being selected;
• displaying a path to the tee ground of the hole in response to a determination of the calculated distance being greater than a threshold distance;
• displaying hole information of the hole in response to a determination of the calculated distance being less than or equal to the threshold distance;
• calculating, by the processor, a distance between the location of the mobile terminal and hole cup of the hole;
• displaying green information, in response to a determination of the distance being less than or equal to a first threshold distance and greater than a second threshold distance;
• displaying a score record screen in response to a determination of the cup distance less than or equal to the second threshold distance;
• determining whether a score is received from an input unit while displaying the score record screen;
• storing, when the score is received from the input unit, the received score;
• and
• displaying next hole information after storing the received score, wherein displaying next hole information comprises:
• determining whether the location of the mobile terminal is within a region of the next hole;
• displaying a path from the location of the mobile terminal to the next hole if the location of the mobile terminal is not determined within the region of the next hole;
• and
• displaying hole information of the next hole if the location of the mobile terminal is determined within the region of the next hole.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor coupled to the apparatus configured to calculate a distance between the apparatus and a hole cup to provide information using a Global Positioning System (GPS), the information being selectively displayed according to the calculated distance associated with a first threshold distance and a second threshold distance specified for selectively displaying the information, and the processor is configured to display hole information in response to determination of the distance being greater than the first threshold distance, wherein the first threshold distance comprises a distance between the hole cup and a perimeter boundary of a green of the hole, and to display green information in response to a determination of the distance being less than or equal to the first threshold distance and greater than the second threshold distance which comprises within a putting distance from the hole cup, and to display a score record screen in response to a determination of the distance which is less than or equal to the second threshold distance,
• wherein the processor is configured to determine whether a score is received from an input unit while displaying the score record screen, and to store, when the score is received from the input unit, the received score and to display next hole information after storing the received score, and
• wherein the processor is further configured to display next hole information that comprises:
• the processor is configured to determine a location of the apparatus whether the location is within a region of the next hole;
• the processor is configured to display a path from the location of the apparatus to the next hole if the location of the apparatus is not determined within the region of the next hole;
• and the processor is configured to display hole information of the next hole if the location of the apparatus is determined within the region of the next hole.
