Abstract

A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the mobile terminal are provided. The mobile terminal and the method are capable of controlling access to data shared between different applications. A shared database of the terminal manages multiple shared data, which are generated from different applications. A data service program allows a random application to share one or more of the shared data by accessing the shared database, when a sharing request is received from the random application. A security framework functions to block or transfer the sharing request with respect to the data service program, based on an authority provided to the random application. The mobile terminal can block access to the data service program from a malicious application at the framework level and accept only the access to the data service program from an application which is normally accepted.
