In one embodiment, the plug-in control module 322 may execute an independent application that is a parent if an independent application of a parent relationship is installed, and itself (the plug-in application) may operate as a function of an independent application that is a parent. For example, when the plug-in control module 322 executes itself (the plug-in application), the independent application of the installed parent relationship may be executed together and the control authority of the screen may be transferred to the independent application of the executed parent relationship.

In another embodiment, when the independent application of the parent relationship is installed, the plug-in control module 322 may execute the plug-in application using only its resources without executing the independent application of the parent relationship. For example, when the plug-in control module 322 executes itself (the plug-in application), the plug-in control module 322 may execute itself (the plug-in application) using only at least some resources of the independent application of the parent relationship. have.

The resource interworking module 323 may manage access to resources of an independent application of a parent relationship.

In an embodiment, the resource interworking module 323 may determine that the resource management module 313 is a child relationship of the independent application, and receive access rights for at least some resources of the independent application. In such an embodiment, the plug-in control module 322 may execute itself (a plug-in application) using at least some resources of an independent application that is a parent using an access right set by the resource interworking module 323.

6 to 9 are reference diagrams showing examples of screens provided in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

6 to 9 relate to an embodiment in which the independent application is a music providing application (bucks) and the plug-in application is a music editing application (bucks ringtone).

6 to 9, the plug-in application for music editing can be installed independently and can be executed independently. As described above, a predetermined music file for music editing is provided from an independent application. I can receive it. According to an embodiment, the function of playing the edited music may be performed using an independent application or in conjunction with an independent application.
