Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A portable information terminal configured to communicate with an external terminal, the portable information terminal comprising:
a display which can display a condition set in advance;
a communication circuitry transmits first information indicating a status of the portable information terminal to a server, and receives, as second information, recommended options which are determined as satisfying a first condition based on the first information; and
a controller configured to determine firstly-selected one or more recommended options that satisfy a second condition set in advance from the second information received via the communication circuitry,
wherein the communication circuitry further transmits third information related to the firstly-selected one or more recommended options determined by the controller to the external terminal, and receives a secondly-selected one or more recommended options selected by the external terminal based on the third information as fourth information,
wherein the controller is further configured to:
determine whether an application relating to the fourth information has been downloaded to the portable information terminal;
in response to a determination that the application has not been downloaded, connect to the server to make the application downloadable via the communication circuitry;
control the communication circuitry to transmit status information to the external terminal; and
when receiving instruction information from the external terminal after the communication circuitry transmits the status information to the external terminal, control the communication circuitry to download the application from the server and display the application on the display according to the received instruction information.
