receiving a request at the first device for information; configuring the digital tag to be associated with at least one of (i) an application or (ii) an input on a second device, such that receipt of the digital tag by a second device causes the application to launch on the second device; and emitting from the first device a digital tag. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An application control system, comprising: a smartcard comprising a processor, a memory storing a digital tag, and a communication interface, wherein the digital tag is associated with an application and configured to prompt a security review upon receipt of the digital tag by a client device, and wherein the processor is configured to, upon receipt of a request for requested information received from the client device, transmit the digital tag to the client device via the communication interface; wherein, upon a successful completion of the security review, the digital tag is configured to prompt a launch of the application on the client device and restrict the requested information to access only by the application; and wherein, upon an unsuccessful completion of the security review, the digital tag is configured to preclude a launch of the application on the client device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The application control system of claim 1, wherein: the transmission of the digital tag occurs after entry of the smartcard into a communication field, and the communication interface is configured to transmit the tag via Near Field Communication. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The application control system of claim 1, wherein: the digital tag is configured to prompt the launch of a plurality of additional applications, and the digital tag specifies a sequence for launching the plurality of additional applications. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The application control system of claim 3, wherein the sequence comprises a linear sequence. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The application control system of claim 4, wherein the sequence comprises completion-triggered launching. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The application control system of claim 5, wherein the completion-triggered launching comprises launching a second additional application from the plurality of additional applications after the completion of an operation by a first additional application of the plurality of additional applications. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The application control system of claim 5, wherein the completion-triggered launching comprises launching a second additional application from the plurality of additional applications after a first additional application of the plurality of additional applications closes. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The application control system of claim 5, wherein the completion-triggered launching comprises launching a final additional application from the plurality of additional applications after all other additional applications of the plurality of additional applications close. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The application control system of claim 1, wherein the application is configured to prevent a second application from accessing the requested information. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The application control system of claim 1, where in the digital tag is configured to be a Near Field Communication (NFC) Data Exchange Format (NDEF) tag. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The application control system of claim 10, wherein the NDEF tag is configured to be an Android Application Record. ### Claim 12 An application control method, comprising: receiving, by a smartcard, a request for requested information; transmitting, by the smartcard to a client device, a digital tag associated with an application; prompting, by the digital tag, a security review; prompting, by the digital tag upon successful completion of the security review, a launch of the application on the client device; and restricting, by the digital tag, access to the requested information to only the application. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The application control method of claim 12, further comprising precluding, by the digital tag upon an unsuccessful completion of the security review, a launch of the application. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The application control method of claim 12, further comprising transmitting, by the smartcard, the requested information with the digital tag. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The application control method of claim 12, further comprising transmitting the digital tag to a user device, wherein the digital tag is configured to prompt the launch of the application when the user device is inactive. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The application control method of claim 12, further comprising transmitting the digital tag to a user device comprising a display, wherein the digital tag is configured to prompt the launch of the application when no other application on the user device is active. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The application control method of claim 16, wherein the digital tag is configured to preclude any other application from opening or becoming active. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The application control method of claim 12, further comprising transmitting the digital tag to a user device, wherein the digital tag is configured to prompt the launch of the application when the user device has not received user input for a pre-determined period of time. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The application control method of claim 12, further comprising transmitting the digital tag to a user device, wherein the digital tag is configured to prompt the launch of the application when the user device is in an unlocked state. ### Claim 20 A non-transitory computer-accessible medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, wherein, when a processor executes the instructions in response to receipt of a request for requested information, the processor is configured to perform procedures comprising: transmitting, to a client device, a Near Field Communication (NFC) Data Exchange Format (NDEF) tag, wherein the NDEF tag is configured to: prompt a security review; upon a successful completion of the security review, prompt a launch of an application on the client device; restrict access to the requested application to only the application; and upon an unsuccessful completion of the security review, preclude a launch of the application on the client device.
