Through the filtering process as in this step, the manufacturer can prevent the electronic dictionary information of different applications from colliding in advance, and can selectively extract sub-applications driven by the same main application.

Next, if a sub-application having the same producer information is selected through the filtering step, checking the DRM authentication information of each of the filtered sub-applications is performed (S160).

The verification of the DRM authentication information in this step is a process of confirming whether each sub-application is a product having a legitimate authority, and the main application is set to always check the DRM authentication information and retain the result value.

Therefore, preferably, the main application may be configured to periodically check digital copyright management authentication of the sub-application at regular intervals.

Alternatively, in the above-mentioned DRM authentication information confirmation step, the DRM authentication information confirmation step stores the authentication information of the sub-application in which the DRM authentication information is confirmed in the private data area of the main application, even in case of re-execution in advance. It can also be implemented to be provided with integrated dictionary information without going through it again.

If the step of confirming the DRM authentication information as described above proceeds normally, the main application is executed, and the sub-application in which the DRM authentication is completed is linked to the main application (S170).

In the interworking process between the sub-application and the main application, as described above, the electronic dictionary information of the sub-application is shared with the main application. To this end, the main application configures a data table for referring to the electronic dictionary information of the sub-application. Step proceeds (S180).

The data table refers to a data table created by designating a path to electronic dictionary information of each sub-application for use in providing a search result according to a user's input. If the data table is created, the data table is referred to. The step of outputting the result information according to the user's input proceeds (S190).

In the outputting of the result information, the main application receives the user's input, extracts electronic dictionary information stored in the private data area of the sub-application by referring to the data table, and displays the result information corresponding to the extracted electronic dictionary information on the terminal's display device. Will be output via

In detail, when a user inputs a character to search for, the input character is recognized by the main application, and the searched result information is output by referring to a data table of electronic dictionary information stored in the currently selected sub-application.
