When the data severing group is started, it is judged whether it is within the preset time (the general 50ms ‘time interval interval definition is different), and the acknowledgment is received when the auxiliary application is received. If, within a preset time, (4) the auxiliary application's positive response, the user downloads the communication application stage (step S241); otherwise, if the auxiliary application does not receive the positive response within the preset time, then A general startup procedure (step S242). At this point, a basic communication connection is established. The auxiliary application is used to download the memory code to the memory of the data processing module through the bridge. The memory code re-establishes the connection between the data processing module and the auxiliary application.
