The second electronic device 200 (eg, stored in the storage unit 204 of FIG. 1). For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the arrow a1 is a block indicating that when the second platform program B3 cannot correspond to the first platform program A1~An, the blocks indicated by the arrows a2 and a3 are used to describe the second platform program B3. A schematic diagram of the first application state information P3 and the stored data F3 corresponding to the first platform program A3 cannot be received. In other words, if the second electronic device 200 does not have the second platform programs B1 B Bm corresponding to the first platform programs A1 to An, the second electronic device 200 cannot open the stored data of the migration data 32. At this time, the second electronic device The device 200 stores the first application state information P1~Pn and the stored data F1~Fn of the migration data 32 in the storage unit 204.

In addition, when the second electronic device 200 determines that the second platform device B1~Bm corresponding to the first platform program A1~An is not included in the second electronic device 200, the second electronic device 200 may also send a prompt message, where the prompt The message may include the name of the first platform program A1~An and its version information. In this way, the second electronic device 200 can obtain and install the second platform program according to the name of the first platform program A1~An or the version information of the second platform program in the prompt message, for example, the second electronic device 200.
