At this time, the first application may be a navigation application that performs a guidance function using map information, position information, coordinate information, and the like. In step S33, the terminal 10 confirms whether data interworking with the second application is requested. For example, the second application may include various applications that can be serviced using map information, location information, coordinate information, and the like.

On the other hand, while the first application is being executed, the terminal 10 continues to execute the first application unless a signal for data interlocking with another application is input.

When data interworking is requested, the terminal 10 displays a list of other second applications while executing the first application in step S35. Here, the terminal 10 displays a list of other second applications that can be interlocked with data in one area on the screen where the first application is executed.

The terminal 10 selects the second application in accordance with the input of the user in step S37. If the second application is selected, the terminal 10 requests the service device 20 to interwork data between the first application and the second application in step S39.

Then, in step S41, the terminal 10 confirms whether the data linking result between the applications is received from the service device 20. [ When receiving the data interlocking result, the terminal 10 outputs the execution result received from the service device 20 in step S43. On the other hand, if the data linking result is not received from the service device 20, the terminal 10 can request the service device 20 to re-establish the data linkage between the applications.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a service apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the service device 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention receives a request signal for data interworking with another second application from the terminal 10 executing the first application in step S51. In step S53, the service apparatus 20 collects data related to the first application for data interworking between the applications. Here, the service device 20 collects data such as current position information, destination information, movement path, and peripheral information related to the execution of the first application, sets and stores the collected data as parameters.

The service device 20 extracts data applicable to the second application from the data collected in step S55. Here, the service device 20 confirms data that can be linked to the second application from the data associated with the first application, and extracts parameters for the confirmed data. Then, the service apparatus 20 applies the data extracted in the step S57 to the second application. At this time, the service device 20 applies parameters for data that can be linked to the second application to the second application. That is, the service device 20 compares the last parameter of data generated by the execution of the first application with the parameter of the data necessary for execution of the second application. If there is a matching parameter as a result of comparison, the service device 20 applies only the data on the parameter to the second application.

Thereafter, the service device 20 provides the execution result of the second application to the terminal 10 in step S59.

7A to 7C are diagrams for explaining a data interlocking method between applications according to an embodiment of the present invention.

7B, when the second application for data interworking between applications is selected, the terminal 10 outputs screen information 705 related to the corresponding second application. Here, the terminal 10 collects data associated with the first application for data interworking between the applications. For example, the data collected by the terminal 10 includes current location information, destination information, movement path, and surrounding information.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7C, the terminal 10 interlocks the data between applications and outputs execution screen information 707 for a second application executed later. At this time, the terminal 10 provides screen information generated through data interlocking between the first application and the second application. In addition, the terminal 10 provides the information 709 about the place selected by the user in the second application to the screen and displays together with the execution icon 711 that can start route guidance for moving to the place .
