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. A system, comprising:

an ID allocator/manager configured to;

allocate a proper ID to a client mobile terminal, and

manage the proper ID;

a use log checker/statistic unit configured to periodically check and analyze the use log for the client mobile terminal connected to a network, wherein analyzing the use log includes analyzing a usage pattern including at least one of (i) one or more uniform resource locators (URLs) accessed by the client mobile terminal and (ii) information on applications driven by the client mobile terminal, during a predetermined time;

an application presenter/provider configured to;

present one or more applications according to analysis results from analyzing the use log, the client mobile terminal is configured to download the one or more applications in response to receiving a user selection; and

provide, to the client mobile terminal, a single application selected by the client mobile terminal from the one or more applications and a guide for establishing a function key associated with an execution of the single application on the client mobile terminal, wherein (i) the single application is executed by the function key established on the client mobile terminal, and (ii) the function key is established through a mapping of the single application to one of preset function keys of the client mobile terminal; and

an application updater configured to update at least one application stored in the client mobile terminal,

wherein the use log checker/statistic unit is configured to check and analyze the use log autonomously from a user of the client mobile terminal.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the client mobile terminal comprises:

an application downloader configured to download the single application from the application presenter/provider;

a function key selector/modifier configured to;

establish the function key that corresponds to the single application on the client mobile terminal, and

modify a name of the function key;

a drive screen modifier configured to modify a screen displayed when the single application is run in response to receiving a user request; and

an interface provider configured to drive the single application that corresponds to the function key and concurrently display the drive screen as modified after the function key is selected.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the application presenter/provider is further configured to concurrently provide an application of a default version to the client mobile terminal while allocating the proper ID to the client mobile terminal.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the proper ID comprises a telephone number for the client mobile terminal.

5. A method, comprising:

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

periodically checking and analyzing a use log for the client mobile terminal connected to a network, wherein analyzing the use log includes analyzing a usage pattern including at least one of (i) one or more uniform resource locators (URLs) accessed by the client mobile terminal and (ii) information on applications driven by the client mobile terminal, during a predetermined time;

presenting one or more applications to the client mobile terminal according to analysis results from analyzing the use log, the client mobile terminal is configured to download the one or more application in response to receiving a user selection;

providing, to the client mobile terminal, a single application selected by the client mobile terminal from the one or more applications and a guide for establishing a function key associated with an execution of the single application on the client mobile terminal, wherein (i) the selected single application is executed by the function key established on the client mobile terminal, and (ii) the function key is established through a mapping of the single application to one of preset function keys of the client mobile terminal; and

updating the single application stored in the client mobile terminal,

wherein the step of periodically checking and analyzing a use log includes checking and analyzing the use log autonomously from a user of the client mobile terminal.

6. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium, comprising at least one program including instructions for:

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

periodically checking and analyzing a use log for the client mobile terminal connected to a network, wherein analyzing the use log includes analyzing a usage pattern including at least one of (i) one or more uniform resource locators (URLs) accessed by the client mobile terminal and (ii) information on applications driven by the client mobile terminal, during a predetermined time;

presenting one or more applications according to analysis results from analyzing the use log, wherein the client mobile terminal is configured to download the one or more applications in response to receiving a user selection;

providing, to the client mobile terminal, a single application selected by the client mobile terminal from the one or more applications and a guide for establishing a function key associated with an execution of the single application on the client mobile terminal, wherein (i) the selected single application is executed by the function key established on the client mobile terminal, and (ii) the function key is established through a mapping of the single application to one of preset function keys of the client mobile terminal; and

updating the single application stored in the client mobile terminal,

wherein the step of periodically checking and analyzing a use log includes checking and analyzing the use log autonomously from a user of the client mobile terminal.
