The present invention relates to a system for managing applications in an M2M terminal using an over-the-air (OTA) technology, and has an objective in managing, i.e., installing, updating, or deleting applications in an external M2M or a modular M2M terminal. To attain this objective, the system of the present invention comprises: an M2M server which manages information about terminals including operation status of all terminals; an M2M terminal which performs management of applications in a terminal and version management of the applications through periodical communications with a server; an application management unit, as a module operating within the M2M server, which manages information and version of the applications and manages information about applications in each terminal; and an update management unit which operates within the M2M terminal, checks an update of the applications in the terminal through communications with the M2M server, and controls an update request and acceptance. |
