In the past, each mobile carrier used its own different platform for the wireless Internet, and thus, when a developer released a new mobile phone application, it was a wasteful factor to have a different version for each carrier's platform.

In addition, the same mobile communication company may separately provide a multimedia service. In other words, KTF provides two multimedia services, Magicn and Multipack, and the difference between the two is clearly distinguished from PCs such as "explorer" and pc-based "software."

Thus, Magic & N works with WAP (based on C Language), a mobile language like html, while services are made with WML, while Multipack works like a computer on Qualcomm's mobile OS called brew.

At this time, Magic & N is easy to make programs, but the services that can be implemented in mobile phones are limited, and Multipack is difficult to produce programs in C Language, whereas if only the resources of a mobile phone are supported, various multimedia services can be provided without limitation. Can be.

Recently released as a domestic platform, WIPI is a model to replace Qualcomm's brew and has a built-in Java Virtual Machine.

The WIPI (Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability) is a wireless Internet platform standard standard jointly developed by the Ministry of Information and Communication and the Korea Wireless Internet Standardization Forum for 8 billion won. In early April 2002, it was adopted as the wireless Internet platform standard.

At this time, the 'wireless Internet platform' is a middleware that helps the wireless Internet to the mobile phone is embedded in the mobile phone in order to act as a PC operating system (OS).

The mobile kit program according to the present invention can be freely changed and produced by the mobile platform BREW, GVM, SKVM, KVM, Kitty Hawk, MIDP, WAP, WIPI so as to be applicable to all mobile phones, and in the present invention, as an embodiment, WIPI Trial was made by.
