The invention will be described below by calling a local application in a browser in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Referring to the flow of opening a webpage through a browser to implement a method for calling a local application, the method for calling a local application by a mobile terminal browser of the present invention includes the following steps:

Open a mobile terminal webpage by using a browser, and the webpage may have a preset local application label, and the user may also write a local application label on the webpage, so that the webpage contains the corresponding local application. Local application tags, such as the 11 local application tags shown in Figure 1;

Establishing a link between the local application tag and the corresponding local application by parsing the local application tag included in the webpage;

The local application of the local application tag link is invoked by clicking on the link.

Local application tags include local app tags (such as wtai: II, exemplified by wtai: 〃 for example) and local app names (such as Camera ). As shown in Figure 1, the local application tag can include the following fields or one of them:

Wtai: 〃 camera, used to call the local camera;

Wtai://sms, used to call the local short message editing page;

The text resource in the Wtai://sms/&& webpage is used to invoke the short message module, and the text resource in the webpage is put into the short message editing page;

Wtai://sms/mobile number & SMS content, used to call the short message sending mechanism;

Wtai://history, used to call the history of browser access;

Wtai: / bookmark, used to call the local page saved by the browser;

Wtai://mms , used to call the local mms edit page;

The resources in the Wtai://mms/&& webpage are used to call the edit page, and the resources in the webpage are placed in the edit page of mms;

Wtai://mms/mobile number & MMS text & MMS resources, used to call the mms sending mechanism; Wtai://Bluetooth, used to call the Bluetooth manager function;

Wtai://MMPlayer, used to call the multimedia player function;

Wtai://MMplayer/filename, used to call the multimedia player to play the local file of the current data folder.

FIG. 2 shows a device for a mobile terminal browser to execute a local application by performing the above method, including:

a webpage parser, configured to establish the local by analyzing a local application tag included in the webpage a link between the application tag and the corresponding local application;

An execution module, configured to invoke a local application of the local application tag link according to a user click on the link.

For example, if the user wants to invoke the short message sending application, the user can open the webpage by using the mobile terminal browser, and then the user writes the local application label of wtai: 〃 sms/13312345678&smscontent on the webpage, so that the local application label is included on the webpage. . The web page parser obtains the link to the short message sending module by parsing the local application tag wtai: II of the local application tag, obtaining the tag as a local application attribute, and then parsing the local application name sms/13312345678&smscontent according to the local application attribute. Thereafter, according to the user's link click, the linked short message sending module is called, thereby executing the local application, that is, directly calling the sms short message sending interface, placing 133xxxxxxxx into the sender editing box of sms, and putting smscontent into sms short In the message content edit box, the phone number and content are separated by &.

The case of calling the local application shown in Figures 1 and 2 is that the mobile terminal is currently using the browser application, and the user wishes to implement interaction with other local application modules in the browser application.

Therefore, the user writes the corresponding content in the text of the page accessed by the browser, and then invokes the local application by clicking the link in the browser.

Specifically, the html or wml text file currently accessed by the user contains a link formed by wtai:// plus the corresponding module name, which is defined by defining wtai:〃 + local application name in the html or wml tag. The current web content needs to call the local app.

For HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) text, by defining wtai: II in the tag to indicate that the content in the form is required to call the local application interaction through wtai, you can enter the mobile phone number through the text input box in the browser. And the content of the short message is called to send the content of sms or mms, or the local application of the response can be called by the connection, and the wtai can be defined in the body, div or other html tags: // the resource file or the text content on the webpage is passed. Short message or MMS is sent to realize the interaction between the browser and the local application.

For example, define a link <a> containing the wtai: // local application name format tag in the tag to call the local application; define the id=wtai://local application in the <(1^> tag, indicating the current div The content needs to be passed to the local application (if required by the local application); or in other domain tags, the id flag is defined as wtai://local application name, the local application of the response is called, and the content of the domain tag is passed to the local Application use.

For wml (Wireless Markup Language) text, use the $+ variable name to get the content of the current text box, or by defining the wtai tag in the card to indicate that the local application interaction needs to be called through wtai, which can be used to pass the text in the browser. Enter the mobile phone number and SMS content in the input box to call the content that sends sms or mms. You can also call the responding local application through the connection.

Figure 3 shows the flow of calling the local application method by entering the local application tag in the browser menu. Specifically, Figure 3 shows the local application method by entering the local application tag in the address bar of the browser menu or the gotourl input box. Process.

Referring to FIG. 3, another method for a mobile terminal browser of the present invention to invoke a local application includes the following steps:

According to the call instruction, a local application module (such as SMS) corresponding to the input local application tag is called to execute the local application.

The local application tag shown in Figure 3 also includes the local application tag wtai: // and the local app name; that is, the local app tag includes the following fields or one of them:

Wtai: 〃 camera, used to call the local camera;

Wtai://sms, used to call the local short message editing page;

The text resource in the Wtai://sms/&& webpage is used to invoke the short message module, and the text resource in the webpage is put into the short message editing page; Wtai://sms/mobile number & SMS content, used to call the short message sending mechanism; Wtai://history, used to call the history of browser access;

Wtai: / bookmark, used to call the local page saved by the browser;

Wtai://mms , used to call the local mms edit page;

Wtai://mms/mobile number & MMS text & MMS, used to call the mms sending mechanism; Wtai://Bluetooth, used to call the Bluetooth Manager function;

Wtai://MMPlayer, used to call the multimedia player function;

Figure 4 shows the device for performing the local application of the method shown in Figure 3, including:

a URL parser for parsing a local application tag input in a gotouri input box or an address bar of a browser menu, and by calling the input local application tag, issuing a call command of the corresponding local application;

An execution module, configured to invoke a local application according to the calling command.

The URL parser obtains the local application tag as a local application attribute by parsing the local application tag wtai: II of the local application tag; then the URL parser parses the local application name according to the local application attribute, and issues an instruction to invoke the corresponding local application. . The execution module invokes the corresponding local application according to the call instruction.

The case of calling a local application as shown in Figures 3 and 4 is usually: The user is currently using a browser application to browse a web page or other text file, at which point the user enters wtai://+ through the browser menu gotouri input box or address bar. The corresponding application name and parameters are used to call the corresponding terminal local application.
