Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving application/content based on purchase information

A method for providing at least one of an application and content by a second server, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a hardware processor of the second server, from a first client, information regarding a purchase result of the at least one of the application and the content and device information of the first client, wherein the first client received the information regarding the purchase result from a second client that purchases the at least one of the application and the content from a first server and receives the purchase result from the second server;
• and
• transmitting, by the hardware processor, the at least one of the application and the content to the first client in response to the received information regarding the purchase result and the device information,
• wherein the second server transmits, to the first client, a list of applications that can be installed in and driven by the first client or a list of content that can be reproduced by the first client, with reference to the device information of the first client, which has been received from the first client, and
• wherein the second server compiles a source code and generates an intermediate code, which is a device independent code of the at least one of the application and the content based on the device information of the first client, independently from a client type, and recompiles the intermediate code to generate an application, which can be installed in and driven by the first client based on the device information of the first client.

An apparatus of a first client for receiving at least one of an application and content, the apparatus comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to receive, from a second client, information regarding a purchase result of the at least one of the application and the content, wherein the second client requested and received the information from a second server after purchasing the at least one of the application and the content from a first server, transmit the information regarding the purchase result and device information of the first client to the second server, and receive the at least one of the application and the content from the second server in response to the transmitted information regarding the purchase result and the device information,
• wherein the second server transmits, to the first client, a list of applications that can be installed in and driven by the first client or a list of content that can be reproduced by the first client, with reference to the device information of the first client, which has been received from the first client, and
• wherein the second server compiles a source code and generates an intermediate code, which is a device independent code of the at least one of the application and the content based on the device information of the first client, independently from a client type, and recompiles the intermediate code to generate an application, which can be installed in and driven by the first client base don the device information of the first client.

An apparatus of a second server for providing at least one of an application and content, the apparatus comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to receive information regarding a purchase result regarding the at least one of the application and the content from a first client, wherein the first client received the information regarding the purchase result from a second client that purchases the at least one of the application and the content from a first server and receives the purchase result from the second server, and transmit the at least one of the application and the content to the first client in response to the received information regarding the purchase result and device information of the first client,
• wherein the second server transmits, to the first client, a list of applications that can be installed in and driven by the first client or a list of content that can be reproduced by the first client, with reference to the device information of the first client, which has been received from the first client, and
• wherein the second server compiles a source code and generates an intermediate code, which is a device independent code of the at least one of the application and the content based on the device information of the first client, independently from a client type, and recompiles the intermediate code to generate an application, which can be installed in and driven by the first client based on the device information of the first client.
