(57) ABSTRACT

A method and system for controlling a mobile terminal pro vided With at least tWo operating systems. The method includes: displaying an application on a dedicated screen of a

?rst OS (Operating System) among the at least tWo OSs (Operating Systems); determining that an execution com mand for the application is input to the dedicated screen of the ?rst OS; determining Whether the application is executable in the ?rst OS if the execution command for the application is determined to have been input to the dedicated screen of the ?rst OS; ?nding, among the at least tWo OSs in the memory, a second OS capable of executing the application if the ?rst OS is determined not to be able to execute the application; activating the second OS; and executing the application via the activated second OS.
