Mobile communication system and program transmission method

A mobile communication system including a mobile station and a server to communicate with the mobile station through a base station, the mobile station comprising:

• reception means for receiving service information as well as a program and data for processing the service information from the server;
• determination means for determining whether the mobile station can process the service information received from the server or not;
• means for, when the result of the determination by the determination means is No (negative), requesting the server to transmit the program and data for processing the service information;
• and
• processing means for processing the service information using the program and data that the mobile station receives from the server, and the server comprising:
• first transmission means for, upon receipt of the request from the mobile station, transmitting the service information;
• and
• second transmission means for, upon receipt of the request from the mobile station, transmitting the program and data.

A program transmission method for performing program transmission between a mobile station and a server to communicate with the mobile station via a base station, comprising the steps of:

• making the mobile station notify the data processing ability of the mobile station to the server beforehand;
• when a request for service information occurs at the mobile station, making the mobile station transmit the request to the server;
• and
• making the server receive the request, according to the data processing ability of the mobile station that is notified to the server beforehand, making the server determine whether the mobile station can process the service information or not, and when the result of the determination is NO (negative), making the server transmit a program and data for processing the service information along with the service information.
