Referring to FIG. 2, when a mobile device (ME) of the mobile communication terminal 102 requests a UI service to the UI server 106 through the wireless communication network 104 (step 202), the UI server 106 associates with the UI service 106. UI search information (eg, pre-produced UI data information for each terminal) is extracted from the UI database 108 and transmitted to the ME of the mobile communication terminal 102 through the wireless communication network 104 (step 204). ).
