Abstract
Unused application programs are compressed and preserved so as to save memory consumption. Further, a user is not kept uncomfortable while waiting for an application program to be ready.
A table establishing the correspondence between applications often used by the user and locations at which the applications are used is prepared. Then, location information of the user is periodically acquired and, if the location is within the location range set by the user, the application program set by the user is decompressed.
