The objective of the invention is to arrange that, when a plurality of mobile terminals are connected to, for example, a vehicle-mounted device, a to-be-controlled application be automatically determined in accordance with the connection history and the types of applications on the mobile terminals. A mobile terminal control apparatus (1) comprises: a device control unit (12) that detects whether a plurality of mobile terminals (2) are connected or not and that holds device information and application information into a connection history (11); and an application control unit (14) that determines, out of a plurality of applications held by connected mobile terminals (2), a to-be-controlled application on the basis of the connection history (11) and an application DB (13). In this way, when a plurality of mobile terminals are connected to a vehicle-mounted device, a to-be-controlled application can be automatically determined in accordance with the connection history and the types of applications on the mobile terminals. |

The invention generally pertains to a method for providing a purchase incentive associated with the purchase of a product bundle to an end user using a mobile device connected to a transaction server over a mobile phone network. By way of example, a secure connection is created over the mobile phone network to exchange information between the transaction server and the mobile device. The end user selects the desired product bundle level—as a result receives a purchase incentive, i.e., cash rebate, remittance, refund and/or other monies—and delivery method using the mobile device. The mobile device connects to a third party payment processor over a secure connection, which charges the end user for the purchase of the product bundle. Specifically, the third party payment processor charges the purchase to the user's mobile phone account with a mobile carrier. Once the end user is notified of the successful purchase transaction, the desired value is delivered to the end user using the user selected delivery method. |

Apparatus, and associated method, provides for downloading an application with a selectable lifetime from an application database to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal user's identification information and the selected lifetime for the application are stored in an application-license database. When the user seeks to download the same application on a subsequent occasion the user is able to download that application for a reduced fee if lifetime remains from when the application was first downloaded. In addition, the application may be configured to delete or uninstall itself from the mobile terminal when the selected lifetime for the application expires. |
