Abstract

A method of executing Java application and mobile communication terminal using the same are disclosed, by which Java applications can be utilized in the mobile communication terminal. The present invention includes the steps of: reading a midlet calling type API having an argument; parsing the argument to identify a suite type midlet, a preset sign, and a general type midlet; searching for the general type midlet either within the suite type midlet or outside the suite type midlet responsive to whether the preset sign is present; and executing the general type midlet.

Claims

1. A method of executing Java applications, the method comprising:

reading a midlet calling type application protocol interface (API) having an argument;

parsing the argument to identify a suite type midlet, a preset sign, and a general type midlet;

searching for the general type midlet either within the suite type midlet or outside the suite type midlet responsive to whether the preset sign is present; and

executing the general type midlet.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the argument of the midlet calling type API comprises the suite type midlet, the preset sign, and the general type midlet.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the general type midlet is within the suite type midlet.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the argument of the midlet calling type API comprises the general type midlet.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the midlet calling type API comprises MidletExitURI.

6. A mobile communication terminal comprising:

an extended file system unit storing a plurality of midlets; and

a control unit,

wherein the control unit reads a midlet calling type application protocol interface (API) having an argument,

wherein the control unit parses the argument to identify a suite type midlet, a preset sign, and a general type midlet,

wherein the control unit searches for the general type midlet either within the suite type midlet or outside the suite type midlet responsive to whether the preset sign is present, and

wherein the control unit executes the general type midlet.

7. The mobile communication terminal of claim 6, wherein the argument of the midlet calling type API comprises the suite type midlet, the preset sign, and the general type midlet.

8. The mobile communication terminal of claim 7, wherein the general type midlet is within the suite type midlet.

9. The mobile communication terminal of claim 6, wherein the argument of the midlet calling type API comprises the general type midlet.

10. The mobile communication terminal of claim 6, wherein the midlet calling type API comprises MidletExitURI.

11. A system for executing Java applications, the system comprising:

a mobile communications terminal, wherein the mobile communications terminal further comprises an extended file system unit storing a plurality of midlets; and

a means for executing Java applications.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the means for executing Java applications further comprises:

a means for reading a midlet calling type application protocol interface (API) having an argument;

a means for parsing the argument to identify a suite type midlet, a preset sign, and a general type midlet;

a means for searching for the general type midlet either within the suite type midlet or outside the suite type midlet responsive to whether the preset sign is present; and

a means for executing the general type midlet.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the argument of the midlet calling type API comprises the suite type midlet, the preset sign, and the general type midlet.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the general type midlet is within the suite type midlet.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the argument of the midlet calling type API comprises the general type midlet.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the midlet calling type API comprises MidletExitURI.
