Application program prediction method and mobile terminal

摘要

A mobile terminal ( 21 ) that appropriately predicts an application that a user is likely to use includes: an input device ( 106 ) that selects and executes any of two or more applications; a GPS reception unit ( 108 ); a behavior pattern extraction unit ( 205 ) that creates a usage prediction rule of the application executed on the input device ( 106 ), in association with a usage location detected by the GPS reception unit ( 108 ); and an information display control unit ( 204 ) that specifies, based on the usage prediction rule, an application corresponding to the current location detected by the GPS reception unit ( 108 ), and causes a display ( 105 ) to display the specified application as a prediction result.
