OMTP (Open Mobile Terminal Platform) is a global forum made by telecommunications providers to promote user-oriented mobile services and data business. Devised by OMTP, BONDI is a browser-based application or a mobile web run-time platform to help widgets make good use of functions of mobile devices in a secure way. BONDI enables applications programmed with web standard technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and AJAX to reach the internal functions of mobile devices. Since BONDI, which is not just a simple network application, can reach the internal resources of devices in standard ways, it enables the application and widgets to be developed regardless of tile OS or platform. Web browser-based widgets are vulnerable to the network environment, and their exeeution speed can be slowed as the operations of the widgets or applications become heavy. However, those web widgets will be continuously used thanks to the user-friendly simple interface and the faster speed in using web resources more than the native widgets inside the device. This study suggested a method to effectively operate and manage the resource of OMTP BONDI web widget and then provided an improved result based on a running performance evaluation experiment. The experiment was carried to improve the entire operating time by enhancing the module-loading speed. In this regard, only indispensable modules were allowed to be loaded while the BONDI widget was underway. For the purpose, the widget resource list, able to make the operating speed of the BONDI widget faster, was redefined while a widget cache was employed. In addition, the widget box, a management tool for removed widgets, was devised to store temporarily idle widgets.

본고에서는 모바일 웹 플랫폼과 관련된 기술의 표준화 동향 및 향후 전망에 대하여 알아본다. 최근 웹 어플리케이션을 위젯 형태로 제공할 수 있는 기반기술의 표준화 작업이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 표준화 단체인 World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)와 Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP)에서는 위젯과 디바이스 Application Programming Interface (API)에 대한 규격 표준화 작업을 진행 중이다. 이러한 기술은 모바일 웹 어플리케이션이 Native 언어로 개발된 어플리케이션과 동등한 수준의 기능을 제공할 수 있도록 한다. 표준 위젯 규격에 기반한 웹 어플리케이션을 어플리케이션 스토어 유통 환경으로 확대하기 위한 산업 표준 단체로서 최근 Joint Innovation Lab (JIL)과 Wholesale Applications Community (WAC)이 설립되었다. JIL과 WAC은 다수의 이동통신사의 연합체로 구성되어 개발자와 이용자, 단말에서 네트웍에 이르는 광범위한 영역에 걸쳐 관련 표준 규격을 정의하고 인프라를 구축하고 있다. 특히 WAC은 기존 산업 표준의 적극적 채용, 신속한 상용서비스 도입 등을 통해 산업과 소비자의 필요를 충족시키려 함으로써 성공 가능성을 높이고 있다.
