Abstract

Disclosed is a system for downloading an application from a server and providing the same to a client by using a short message or a subscriber interface module (SIM) card. The system modifies a function key for each application according to a client'"'"'s selection, and randomly modifies a user interface used for selecting an application. The system extends a usage range of the SIM card. The system periodically checks and analyzes the client'"'"' use log for a predetermined time, presents at least one application to the client according to the analysis result on the use log, provides a single application selected by the client to the client, and updates at least one application stored in the client mobile terminal according to the analysis result on the use log. Therefore, the system increases service satisfaction for the client.

Claims

1. In a method for providing an application to a client mobile terminal and managing the application in a system connected to the client mobile terminal through a wired/wireless network, a method for providing an application providing/managing service using an SMS, comprising:

analyzing personal information on the client, and determining an application for the client according to analysis results;

transmitting a short message for downloading the determined application to the client mobile terminal;

providing at least one application to the client mobile terminal according to a granted state of the client having received the short message; and

providing a per-application cost to each client, and settling the per-application cost.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the method provides a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to an online shopping mall that sells products desired by the client and an access to the client.

3. In a system for providing an application providing/managing service, the system connected to a client mobile terminal through a wired/wireless network, a system for providing an application providing/managing service, comprising:

an ID allocator/manager for allocating a proper ID to each client mobile terminal, and managing the ID;

a use log checker/statistic unit for periodically checking and analyzing a use log for each client mobile terminal connected to the wired/wireless network through the allocated proper ID for a predetermined time;

an application presenter/provider for presenting at least one application according to the analysis results, and providing a single application selected by the client from among the presented applications to the client mobile terminal; and

an application updater for updating the at least one application stored in the client mobile terminal according to the analysis results.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the client mobile terminal comprises:

an application downloader for downloading a single application from the application presenter/provider;

a function key selector/modifier for establishing a function key that corresponds to the downloaded application on a client mobile terminal, and modifying a name of the established function key;

a drive screen modifier for modifying a screen displayed when the downloaded application is driven according to the client'"'"'s request; and

an interface provider for driving the application that corresponds to a clicked function key and concurrently displaying the modified drive screen when the established function key is clicked.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the application presenter/provider allocates a proper ID to each client mobile terminal and concurrently provides an application of a default version to the client mobile terminal.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the allocated proper ID comprises a telephone number for each client mobile terminal.

7. In a method for providing an application providing/managing service to a client mobile terminal in a system connected to the client mobile terminal through a wired/wireless network, a method for providing an application providing/managing service, comprising:

a) allocating a proper ID to each client mobile terminal and managing the ID;

b) periodically checking and analyzing a use log for each client mobile terminal connected to the wired/wireless network through the allocated proper ID for a predetermined time;

c) presenting at least one application to the client mobile terminal according to the analysis results, and providing a single application selected by the client from among the presented applications to the client mobile terminal; and

d) updating the at least one application stored in the client mobile terminal according to the analysis results.

8. In a recording medium including a method for providing an application providing/managing service to a client mobile terminal in a system connected to the client mobile terminal through a wired/wireless network, a computer readable recording medium including a program, comprising:

a) allocating a proper ID to each client mobile terminal and managing the ID;

b) periodically checking and analyzing a use log for each client mobile terminal connected to the wired/wireless network through the allocated proper ID for a predetermined time;

c) presenting at least one application according to the analysis results, and providing a single application selected by the client from among the presented applications to the client mobile terminal; and

d) updating the at least one application stored in the client mobile terminal according to the analysis results.
