The method includes: generating the space market widget; forming applications related to the space market widget as objects arranged in the space market widget; transmitting the objects to a user device in which the space market widget is installed; requesting installation of objects moved to an arrangement space from a market space of the space market widget; and transmitting the applications corresponding to the moved objects to the user device so as to be installed in the user device, wherein the space market widget includes a market space displaying the objects that are not yet installed in the user device and an arrangement space arranging and displaying the objects installed in the user device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for providing a widget, the method comprising: generating the widget; forming one or more objects of applications related to the widget, wherein the one or more objects are arranged in the widget; transmitting the one or more objects to a device in which the widget is installed; receiving an installation request related to an object moved to a first space from a second space of the widget, from the device; and transmitting an application corresponding to the moved object to the device so as to be installed in the device, wherein the widget comprises the second space displaying objects that are not yet installed in the device and the first space arranging and displaying objects installed in the device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the forming of the one or more objects comprises: allocating a code of the widget to the applications related to the widget; transforming the applications having the code into the one or more objects; and managing the applications and the one or more objects by mapping the applications and the one or more objects related to the widget. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: transmitting an object corresponding to a new application to the device when new applications related to the widget are registered. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the generating of the widget comprises: generating the widget that requests the application corresponding to the moved object, from the server, wherein the moved object is the object moved to the first space from the second space. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the generating of the widget comprises: generating the widget that includes the first space having a background image, and executing an application corresponding to a selected object, wherein the selected object is an object selected among the one or more objects arranged in the first space. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the generating of the widget comprises: generating the widget that deletes an application corresponding to a deleted object from the device, wherein the deleted object is the object deleted from the one or more objects arranged in the first space. ### Claim 7 A method for providing a widget, the method comprising: installing the widget from a server; receiving one or more objects of applications related to the widget from the server and displaying the one or more objects received in a second space of the widget; receiving movement information related to an object moved to a first space of the widget from the second space, the object being moved by a user; requesting an application corresponding to the moved object; and receiving and installing the requested application from the server and displaying the moved object in the first space, wherein the widget comprises the second space displaying at least one of the one or more objects that is not yet installed in a device and the first space arranging and displaying at least one of the one or more objects installed in the device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein: the receiving of the one or more objects of applications comprises: receiving an object of a new application related to the widget. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: executing an application corresponding to a selected object when at least one of the one or more objects of the first space is selected by the user. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: deleting an application corresponding to a deleted object when at least one of the one or more objects of the first space is deleted by the user. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein: the requesting of the application corresponding to the moved object comprises: requesting payment information when the application corresponding to the moved object requires a charge; transmitting the payment information to the server; and requesting a download of the application corresponding to the moved object when payment is completed. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein: the displaying of the moved object comprises: displaying the moved object at a position that the moved object is moved to by the user in the first space. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein: the receiving of the movement information comprises: informing that the moved object is dragged to the first space from the second space by the user. ### Claim 14 A server providing a widget, the server comprising: a widget generator configured to generate the widget to be installed in a device, the widget comprising a second space displaying second objects that are not yet installed in the device and a first space arranging and displaying first objects installed in the device; an object generator configured to sort a plurality of applications related to the widget and form each of the plurality of applications as objects arranged in the widget; and a device interworking unit configured to transmit the objects related to the widget to the device in which the widget is installed and when an installation of an object is requested from the device, transmitting applications corresponding to the requested object to the device. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The server of claim 14, wherein: the widget generator generates the widget, the widget comprising a background image in the first space. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The server of claim 14, wherein: the widget generator generates the widget that installs applications corresponding to the arranged first objects when the first objects are arranged in the first space, and executes an application corresponding to a selected object, wherein the selected object is an object selected among the first objects arranged in the first space. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The server of claim 14, wherein: the widget generator generates the widget that requests an installation of an application corresponding to a moved object from the market server, wherein the moved object is an object moved to the first space from the second space. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The server of claim 14, wherein: the device interworking unit transmits added objects to the device when the objects related to the widget are added to the object generator. ### Claim 19 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising downloading the widget from the server.
