The processor 204 is, for example, a micro-controller, an embedded controller, or a central processing unit (CPU).

After the processor 204 receives an execution signal to execute a first application, in step S101, the processor 204 first analyzes the first application to obtain a support specification information of the application. That is, the mobile device 200 of the embodiment can accept a plurality of different types of applications downloaded by the user, but before executing the application, the processor 204 first analyzes the application to identify the display specifications supported by the application. Thereafter, in step S105, the processor 204 checks whether the application supports the display specification of the mobile device 200 based on the support specification information of the application. The above support specification information includes display specification information (such as resolution, display size, display color depth, etc.) to indicate which specification or system portable device the application can support.

For example, for a tablet-specific application, the resolution recorded in the support specification information is, for example, 1024×768, 2048×1536, or 2560. ×1600, or the recording display size is 7吋, 10.1吋 or 11.6吋. In addition, for a mobile phone-specific application, the resolution recorded in the support specification information is, for example, 480×320 or 960×640, or the recording display size is 3.5 to 3.8 吋 or 4.5 to 4.9 吋. On the other hand, for applications that can support both tablet and mobile phones, the resolutions recorded in the support specification information are, for example, 480×320, 960×640, and 1024×768, or the recording display size is 3.5~3.8吋, 4.5~4.9吋, 7吋, 10.1吋 or 11.6吋.

However, in step S115, when the support specification information display application does not support the display specification of the mobile device 200, the processor 204 further confirms a system setting of the mobile device to selectively terminate execution of the first application (step S121). Or searching for a second application corresponding to the first application and supporting the display specification via the Internet (step S125).

In step S131, the processor 204 confirms whether the second application is found according to the system setting. When no second application is found, execution of the first application is terminated (step S121). On the other hand, when searching for the corresponding first should When the program and the second application supporting the display specification of the mobile device are used, then in step S135, the processor 204 installs and executes the second application.

In another embodiment of the present application, the storage unit 202 of the mobile device 200 also stores a flag value corresponding to the support specification information of the first application. For example, if the resolution recorded in the support specification information of the application is 1024×768, it means that the application can only support devices with a resolution of 1024×768 (for example, a tablet), so The flag value of this application is set to a first value "P" (referred to as the first value P). Furthermore, if the resolution recorded in the support specification information of the application is 480×320, it means that the application can only support devices with a resolution of 480×320 display devices (for example, mobile phones), so this application is used. The flag value is set to a second value "F" (referred to as the second value F).

In this embodiment, if the content display application recorded by the application's support specification information can only support the tablet, the application flag value will be marked as the first value P. If the application's support specification information records that the application only supports mobile phones, the application's flag value will be marked as the second value F. Of course, the application can also support display devices of other display specifications, and the flag value of the application may be a parameter different from the first value P and the second value F. In addition, this implementation does not limit the marking method of the flag value, and the flag value can be represented by a number, a string, a symbol or other symbols that can be used to distinguish the information of the applicable specification information support specification.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the step S101 of the processor 204 analyzing the first application to obtain the support specification information of the first application includes the processor 204. The flag value corresponding to the first application is obtained from the storage unit 202. Based on the support specification information, the step 204 of the processor 204 confirming whether the first application supports the display specification of the mobile device 200 includes, based on the flag value, the processor 204 confirming whether the first application supports the display specification.

In addition, in still another embodiment of the present invention, the system setting of the mobile device 200 includes immediately terminating execution of the first application, immediately searching for the second application via the Internet, or issuing a notification signal to wait for a reply signal. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a process of terminating execution of a first application or searching for a second application via the Internet according to a system setting of a mobile device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, more specifically, according to the system settings of the mobile device 200 in step S115 to step S125 shown in FIG. 1, the processor 204 terminates execution of the first application or searches for the second application via the Internet. (The steps indicated by the dashed box of FIG. 1) further include when the system is set to immediately terminate execution of the first application, then the processor 204 terminates execution of the first application (step S121). When the system is set to immediately search for the second application via the Internet, the processor 204 automatically searches for the second application via the Internet (step S125). When the system is configured to issue a notification signal to wait for a reply signal, the processor 204 sends a notification signal to prompt the first application not to support the display specification (step S301). Thereafter, in step S305, the processor 204 confirms whether any reply signal is received (including terminating the execution signal or continuing to search for the signal). When the processor 204 receives the reply signal and the reply signal is the termination execution signal, the processor 204 terminates execution of the first application (step S121). On the other hand, in step S125, the processor 204 receives the reply signal and the reply signal is the continuous search signal. At the time of the number, the processor 204 searches for a second application corresponding to the first application and supports the display specification of the mobile device 200 via the Internet (step S125).
