1. A method of recommending an application, the method comprising:
obtaining, in a server, frequencies of use of a plurality of applications by classifying and accumulating a number of uses of each application that is executed in a plurality of mobile terminals according to a time when each application is executed in each mobile terminal and a location where each mobile terminal executing each application is located; filtering at least one first application which has the frequency of use that is in a predetermined frequency of use range, regardless of the time when the application is executed and the location where the application is executed; selecting at least one second application from among the plurality of applications excluding the filtered at least one first application based on time and location information of a first mobile terminal and the frequency of use of the application; and transmitting application recommendation information including the selected at least one second application that are executable in the first mobile terminal from the server to the first mobile terminal, wherein the selecting of the at least one second application comprises:
ranking the plurality of applications excluding the filtered at least one first application in order from highest to lowest frequency of use; andselecting the at least one second application which corresponds to the time and location information of the first mobile terminal and which has a frequency of use that is within a predetermined ranking of the ranked plurality of applications.
