APPLICATION INSTALLATION AND INFORMATION SHARING METHOD THROUGH USER RECOMMENDATION}

The present invention relates to a method for installing an application and sharing information for a smartphone. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of installing an application by a user recommendation and a method of sharing information with a counterpart.

Recently, smart phones are increasing rapidly, and many applications are provided according to the development of technology and the development of various contents. However, among the large number of applications, the reality is that it is not easy to select and use the application that users need, and furthermore, when predicting the future of more and more popular applications, it will be more difficult to find the applications that they want to use. .

On the other hand, because spam texts and / or emails are on the rise, the reality is that substantial texts and / or emails received by recipients are recognized as spam and are immediately deleted. However, if the recipient is a text and / or email sent by someone he knows, the recipient will not ignore the value of the received text and / or email. By recognizing this situation and allowing the recipient to recommend a particular application, the application will spread without denial.

In addition, the demand for two-way communication is increasing in recent years, and if a method of sharing information of terminals between mutually agreed parties is introduced, it will be very convenient in real life. Especially for your child's safety, these ideas will be very useful.

Among the embodiments of the present invention, a terminal and a web server are required to implement an application installation and information sharing method based on a user recommendation. The terminal includes a display unit, a memory, and a control unit. The memory stores a program for recommending an application to a counterpart, a phone book including at least one address book, and a program capable of compressing and decompressing a file. In another embodiment, a program for installing a recommended application and an installation result may be notified to the recommender, and a program for sharing information with the counterpart may be stored. The controller executes a program for recommending the application to the counterpart, and transmits a character including an application installation file to the counterpart under user control. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the application itself has a recommendation function, the controller may perform the function. In one embodiment, the control unit may compress and send the application installation file to the counterpart, or may decompress the received compressed file. According to an embodiment, the controller may display necessary information in association with a program and a phone book for recommending to the counterpart under user control. You can also display the result of sharing information with the other party.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the application installation file may be loaded from the web server 110 using a mobile communication network, a short range communication method, a WiFi network, or the like.
