Abstract

A server apparatus which may include an event-information receiver configured to receive information from an information terminal, in which the information may identify an event in which a user of the information terminal wishes to join. The server apparatus may further include an application recommending unit configured to recommend, when receiving the information identifying the event, to the user of the information terminal that the information terminal execute one or more event-related applications at timings when the event-related applications are available, respectively, in which the one or more event-related applications may relate to the event in which the user wishes to join.

Claims (23)

1 . A server apparatus, comprising:

an event-information receiver configured to receive information from an information terminal, the information identifying an event in which a user of the information terminal wishes to join; and

an application recommending unit configured to recommend, when receiving the information identifying the event, to the user of the information terminal that the information terminal execute one or more event-related applications at timings when the event-related applications are available, respectively, the one or more event-related applications relating to the event in which the user wishes to join.

2 . The server apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the application recommending unit is configured to provide a scheduler application to the information terminal, the scheduler application causing the information terminal to recommend, when receiving the information identifying the event, to the user of the information terminal that the information terminal execute one or more event-related applications at timings when the event-related applications are available, respectively, the one or more event-related applications relating to the event in which the user wishes to join.

3 . The server apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the application recommending unit is configured

to send information on the one or more event-related applications and the scheduler application to the information terminal, and

to reply the scheduler application in response to an obtaining request from the information terminal.

4 . The server apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the scheduler application is a program causing the information terminal

to display options, the options corresponding to the one or more event-related applications, respectively, and

to display options in a manner that the user is capable of identifying the options, the options corresponding to an available event-related application.

5 . The server apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the scheduler application is a program causing the information terminal

to set, in a case where available hours of the plurality of event-related applications overlap one another, priority numbers for the plurality of event-related applications, and

to display the priority numbers explicitly.

6 . A program causing a computer to function as:

an event-information receiver configured to receive information from an information terminal, the information identifying an event in which a user of the information terminal wishes to join; and

an application recommending unit configured to recommend, when receiving the information identifying the event, to the user of the information terminal that the information terminal execute one or more event-related applications at timings when the event-related applications are available, respectively, the one or more event-related applications relating to the event in which the user wishes to join.

7 . An information terminal, comprising:

an event-information sending unit configured to send information to a server apparatus, the information identifying an event in which a user of the information terminal wishes to join, the server apparatus including an application recommending unit, the application recommending unit being configured to recommend, when receiving the information identifying the event in which the user of the information terminal wishes to join from the information terminal, to the user of the information terminal that the information terminal execute one or more event-related applications at timings when the event-related applications are available, respectively, the one or more event-related applications relating to the event in which the user wishes to join; and

an application providing unit configured to provide information on the one or more event-related applications to the user, the one or more event-related applications being recommended by the server apparatus in response to sending of the information identifying the event in which the user wishes to join.
