The present invention also provides a method of using an app store in a head unit, the method comprising: transmitting a connection request to a terminal device located within a predetermined distance from a head unit of a vehicle when there is a connection request to an app store server, and from the terminal device. Receiving information on an app store service screen according to access to the app store server, displaying the app store service screen using the information, and selecting an application selected from the app store service screen through the terminal device; And requesting a download to the app store server.
The method may further include receiving the application from the app store server through the terminal device after the downloading request.
The information on the App Store service screen may be transmitted from the terminal device to the head unit through short range wireless communication.
In addition, the present invention is a method of interworking the App Store from the terminal device to the head unit, when there is a connection request from the in-vehicle head unit to the App Store server, the terminal device connected to the App Store server on the communication network, the app Receiving information of an app store service screen from a store server and transmitting the received information to the head unit; requesting a download of the application to the app store server when receiving a download request of a specific application from the head unit; And transmitting the application downloaded from an app store server to the head unit.
In addition, the application is characterized in that the transmission via the short-range communication from the terminal device to the head unit.
The present invention implements short-range communication between the head unit and the terminal device to be used in the head unit installed in the vehicle for the terminal device app store built on the communication network for downloading various applications to the terminal device, such as a mobile phone, tablet PC, etc. The head unit receives the app store service screen received by the terminal device through short-range communication with the terminal device and displays the screen on the display unit screen of the head unit. When the download request for a specific application is received, the application from the app store through the terminal device. After the download, and by downloading again from the terminal device to the head unit via short-range communication, there is an advantage that the app store can be easily used even if the head unit is not provided with a separate modem that can be connected to the app store.
