Implementation Method and Apparatus for Starting Application

An apparatus for starting an application, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• a module for connecting and communicating, configured to establish a connection with a card and start communication;
• a module for acquiring and parsing, configured to acquire an NDEF file from the card, save the NDEF file, and parse the NDEF file;
• a module for acquiring and determining, configured to acquire a URL from a parsing result of the NDEF file, and determine whether the URL acquired matches a path in a saved associate file;
• a module for performing popup box jumping, configured to, when the module for acquiring and determining determines that result is no, pop up a system notification box, display a browser icon, jump to a browser to download the application when receiving information that a user triggers the browser icon, then stopping the apparatus;
• and
• a module for searching and opening, configured to, when the module for acquiring and determining determines that the result is yes, find the application and an application icon according to an appID in the associate file, display the application icon, and open the application when receiving information that a user triggers the application icon;
• the apparatus further comprises:
• a module for detecting and acquiring, configured to, when detecting that an operating system downloads and installs the application, acquire a configuration item of the application;
• a module for acquiring and accessing, configured to acquire an associate domain name from the configuration item, and access a corresponding server directory according to the associate domain name;
• a first module for searching, configured to search for an associate file with a preset name in the server directory, trigger a module for downloading and saving if the associate file is found, and report an error if the associate file is not found, in which the associate file contains a preset path;
• and
• the module for downloading and saving, configured to find the associate file, download locally the associate file found, and save the associate file found.
