Abstract

A method for executing a Java application midlet using communication among Java applications is provided. The method includes storing information about a predetermined Java application; receiving the name of an object or the name of a mathematical function from a Java application downloaded through a wireless network and retrieving an object or mathematical function corresponding to the received name; and providing the object or the mathematical function to the downloaded Java application to execute the downloaded Java application. Accordingly, support of mathematical functions can be accomplished among Java objects, one Java object can call another Java object, and the amount of data downloaded from a web server and downloading time can be reduced.

Claims

1. A method for executing a Java application midlet using communication among Java applications, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) storing information about a predetermined Java application;

(b) receiving the name of an object or the name of a mathematical function from a Java application downloaded through a wireless network and retrieving an object or mathematical function corresponding to the received name; and

(c) providing the object or the mathematical function to the downloaded Java application to execute the downloaded Java application.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein step (a) comprises storing a name of a native application, a name of a function provided by the native application, or a mathematical function performing the function.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the downloaded Java application in step (b) needs at least one mathematical function included in the native application.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein step (b) comprises receiving at least one among the name of an object, a function performed by a mathematical function, or the name of the mathematical function, from the downloaded Java application, retrieving an object or mathematical function corresponding to the received name, and providing the object or mathematical function to the downloaded Java application.

5. A recording medium on which a program for performing the method of any one of claims 1 through 4 in a computer is recorded, the recording medium being able to be read by the computer.
