storing usage histories of applications, in a first device, that the first device executed with a plurality of other devices through a network connection;

displaying at least one of usage histories of the executed applications arranged by device, with respect to the plurality of other devices and usage histories of the plurality of other devices arranged by application, with respect to the executed applications; and

when one of the plurality of other devices is selected from the displayed usage histories of the executed applications, displaying detailed usage histories of at least one application executed between the first device and the selected device.

10. A system for displaying usage histories of applications executed by devices on a network, the system comprising:

a storage unit for storing the usage histories of applications, in a first device, that the first device has executed with a plurality of other devices over a network connection;

a controller for:

setting one of a first mode and a second mode for displaying at least part of the usage histories stored in the first device on the first device,

providing, in the first mode, the usage histories of the executed applications arranged by device, with respect to the plurality of other devices and, when one of the plurality of other devices is selected from the provided usage histories of the executed applications, providing detailed usage histories of at least one application executed between the first device and the selected device, and

providing, in the second mode, the usage histories of the plurality of other devices arranged by application, with respect to the executed applications; and

a display unit for displaying at least one of the usage histories of the executed applications arranged by device, the usage histories of the plurality of other devices arranged by application, and the detailed usage histories.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the display unit displays at least one of the usage histories of the executed applications arranged by device and the usage histories of the plurality of other devices arranged by application on divided regions, respectively.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the controller sets a number of regions and controls display of at least one of the usage histories of the executed applications arranged by device or the usage histories of the plurality of other devices arranged by application, within the set number of regions.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the controller sets an inquiry period and controls display of at least one of the usage histories of the executed applications arranged by device and the usage histories of the plurality of other devices arranged by application, used for the set inquiry period.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the controller sets a number of usage histories to be displayed and controls display of at least one of the usage histories of the executed applications arranged by device and the usage histories of the plurality of other devices arranged by application, within the set number of usage histories.

15. A system for displaying usage histories of applications executed by devices on a network, the system comprising:

a storage unit for storing usage histories of applications, in a first device, that the first device has executed with a plurality of other devices through a network connection;

a controller for providing usage histories of the executed applications arranged by device, with respect to the plurality of other devices and detailed usage histories of at least one application executed between the first device and one device selected from the plurality of other devices in the provided usage histories of the executed applications; and
