APPLICATION SPREADING METHOD, SPREADING SYSTEM, AND SPREADING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for spreading files between different terminals by using standard equipped functions of portable information terminals under an environment of no network connection via a base station or no access point in a network.SOLUTION: Terminals with a tethering function use inter-terminal communication with a master station side terminal serving as an access point by tethering. A slave station side terminal as a web client downloads and installs a program file of the master station side terminal comprising a web server function as a program file itself to spread the file. A special application with a web server function is introduced into an initial terminal to distribute the application to a terminal in the proximity. The terminal in the proximity downloads the application as a web client from the terminal acting as a web server. Then, the terminal acts as a web server using the downloaded file to sequentially spread the file.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
