Abstract

An information processing server includes a server storage device in which plural objects are stored. Each object includes the unique information and the URL for accessing to an information processing server for updating. A mobile terminal transmits an install request including an install list. In the install list, the information unique to an object, as needed for installation, among plural objects, and the URL, are stated by the mobile terminal. The information processing server refers to the install list to select objects to be transmitted, from the plural objects stored in a server storage device, and transmits the selected object to the mobile terminal. Thus, the user only has to select the URL and the information unique to the needed object, as an object desired to be actually used, with the aid of the mobile terminal. Thus, with the information processing system according to the present invention, the object to be employed by the user may promptly be acquired, without the necessity of requesting a download menu from the server, using a terminal.

wherein said server communication unit receives, from said mobile terminal, a recovery request which is said install request for restoring said updated object group, installed in said terminal storage device, to said object group,

wherein said recovery request being sent by said mobile terminal when a malfunction has occurred in executing each object of said updated object group, installed in said terminal storage device, by said mobile terminal, and including a recovery request list having stated therein by said mobile terminal the terminal identification information and the unique information and the URL of the updated object group installed in said terminal storage device,

wherein said server management unit refers to said recovery request list and the list of state of use of the objects, stored in said server storage device, to select from said plural objects stored in said server storage device said unneeded object to be installed by said mobile terminal in said terminal storage device;

said server management unit forming a list of unneeded restoration objects stating said unique information and the URL of the selected object which becomes unnecessary when said unneeded object among the objects of the updated object group has been installed on said terminal storage device,

wherein said server communication unit sending said list of unneeded restoration objects along with said unneeded object to said mobile terminal,

wherein said set-up program code associated with each of said plural objects is stored in said server storage device,

wherein, when said set-up program code stored in said server storage device is updated to a latest set-up program code, said server management unit refers to said list of state of use of the objects to select said latest set-up program code associated with each of the objects of the updated object group among said plural objects stored in said server storage device, said server communication unit sending said latest set-up program code to said mobile terminal,

wherein said set-up program code being stored in said terminal storage device being updated to said latest set-up program code,

wherein said malfunction report has therein a terminal identification information, the unique information and the URL of the updated object suffering from the malfunction, stated by said mobile terminal, and

wherein said server management unit storing said malfunction report in said server storage device.

42. The information processing server according to claim 41, wherein

said server management unit refers to said install list to select said needed object from the plural objects stored in said server storage device;

said server management unit also referring to said installed list to select from said plural objects stored in said server storage device a link object including said unique information and the URL, which is linked to said needed object and which is not stated in the installed list,

said server communication unit sending said unneeded object and the link object as said selected objects to said mobile terminal.

43. The information processing server according to claim 42, wherein

said server management unit forms an install execute sequence for installing said needed object and the link object in a preset sequence;

said server communication unit sending said needed object and the link object in a preset sequence to said mobile terminal.

44. The information processing server according to claim 43, wherein if the communication between said mobile terminal and said server communication unit is interrupted during an install processing as from transmission of said install request from said mobile terminal to said server communication unit until the object from said server communication unit is installed in said terminal storage device, said server communication unit discontinues the install processing in accordance with an install execute sequence;

and wherein

if a communication between said mobile terminal and said server communication unit is possible, said server communication unit receives from said mobile terminal an installation re-initiation request for re-initiating the installation processing, once discontinued, in accordance with said install execute sequence.
