TERMINAL HAVING TEMPORARY ROOT AUTHORITY GRANTING FUNCTION AND ROOT AUTHORITY GRANTING METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A terminal having a temporary administrator authority granting function and a temporary administrator authority granting method using the same are provided to selectively grant temporary root authority for resources in which changes are permitted, thereby increasing user convenience. CONSTITUTION: A deletion and installation managing unit (20) provides a user with a user interface (UI) related to the deletion or installation of an application. A package installer (30) processes a command for the deletion or installation of the application according to the request of the deletion and installation managing unit. A package manager (40) performs the deletion or installation of the application according to the request of the package installer. If a user requests to change the application, the deletion and installation managing unit determines whether it is necessary to have the administrator authority or not. If so, the deletion and installation managing unit requests the administrator authority to the package manager.
