The processor and memory may be supplemented by or included in a special purpose logic circuit structure.

While this specification includes details of a number of specific implementations, these should not be construed as limiting to the scope of any invention or claim, but rather as a description of features that may be peculiar to a particular embodiment of a particular invention. It must be understood. Certain features described herein in the context of separate embodiments may be implemented in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features described in the context of a single embodiment can also be implemented in multiple embodiments individually or in any suitable sub-combination. Furthermore, although features operate in a particular combination and may be initially described as so claimed, one or more features from a claimed combination may in some cases be excluded from the combination, and the claimed combination may be a subcombination. Or sub-combination variations.

Likewise, although operations are depicted in the drawings in a specific order, it should not be understood that such operations must be performed in that particular order or sequential order shown, or that all illustrated operations must be performed in order to obtain a desired result. In certain cases, multitasking and parallel processing can be advantageous. In addition, separation of the various system components of the above-described embodiments should not be understood as requiring such separation in all embodiments, and the program components and systems described are generally integrated together into a single software product or packaged in multiple software products. You should understand that you can.

On the other hand, the embodiments of the present invention disclosed in the specification and drawings are only presented specific examples to aid understanding, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition to the embodiments disclosed herein, it is apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that other modified examples based on the technical idea of the present invention may be implemented.

The present invention interlocks with a server using a master application among applications installed inside a terminal, and periodically provides a push service through the master application. Accordingly, in the case of the push service system, even if the push agent is not always operated to send a push message irregularly, the application is operated using an alarm signal in the platform, and the push service is provided from the server based on the master application only when necessary. It can be provided to save battery consumption and memory waste. This is not only a sufficient possibility of marketing or business, but also a degree that can be implemented clearly in reality, so it has industrial applicability.
