Abstract

A basic information recording unit (122) holds the version data, in which the versions of a plurality of application programs stored in a mobile type information device are written. An update confirming unit (110) receives such update situation data from a server as indicates the presence / absence of a version update of at least one of the application programs. On the basis of the update situation data, an update specifying unit (112) specifies the application program of a version older than the updated version. A display processing unit (114) displays a menu screen, in which a plurality of start icons of the application programs are arranged, and changes the start icon of the application program, which is specified by the update specifying unit (112), into a predetermined appearance indicating that the version has been updated.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technology for managing the update of application programs installed on information terminals such as mobile phones. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in information terminals represented by personal computers and cell phones, various applications have been installed at the time of purchase. Many applications are frequently updated for the purpose of adding new features, fixing defects, or security countermeasures. The larger the number of applications, the more difficult it is for users to grasp this version update information one by one. In addition, even if the version is updated, it is troublesome for users to download a new version of the application every time they visit the designated website. [0003] As a technique to solve this problem, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system that manages the use frequency of the required program on the client side, and asks the server for the version numbe...
