Wireless communication terminal having function for dynamically upgrading platform and method thereof
First Claim
1. A wireless communication terminal having a function for dynamically upgrading a platform, the wireless communication terminal comprising:
- a first storing means for storing an application program interface (API) source;
a second storing means for an API identification correspondently mapped to each of application program interfaces stored in the first storing means; and
a controlling means for using the application program interface stored in the first storing means by calling the application program interface based on the API identification and dynamically upgrading mapping information between the first storing means and the second storing means according to an API upgrade request signal received from exterior.

6. A method for dynamically upgrading a platform in a wireless communication terminal, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a) storing application program interface (API) source in an API implementing unit and storing an API identification correspondently mapped to each of application program interfaces stored in an API defining unit;
b) downloading new application program interface by receiving an API adding request from exterior, storing the downloaded application program interface in the API implementing unit and updating mapping information between the API implementing unit and the API defining unit;
c) downloading an application program interface by receiving an API updating request from exterior and updating corresponding application program interface in the API implementing unit; and
d) deleting an predetermined application program interface by receiving an API deleting request from exterior and updating the mapping information between the API implementing unit and the API defining unit. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
