In S210, the application defrosting system 10 receives a function item of the first application.

In this embodiment, the application includes at least one function item, and implementation of at least one function item needs to be implemented by means of other applications (hereinafter referred to as "target application"). A user selects (e.g., clicks, etc.) the functional item on a user interface of the application, the application defrosting system 10 receiving the functional item selected by a user on a user interface of the application.

In S220, the application defrosting system 10 determines a target application associated with the function item.

In this embodiment, the target application associated with the function item is determined according to the attribute parameter of the function item. The attribute parameters of the function item include a call parameter, and the call parameter includes a target application called. For example, the call parameter can be a function parameter that invokes the application via an interface to the function parameter. For an application example, reference may be made to the description of FIG. 4 below.

In S230, when the target application is in an unavailable state and the target application is in a frozen state, the application defrosting system 10 unfreezes the target application.

In this embodiment, when the target application is in a frozen state or the electronic device 1 does not install the target application, the application defrosting system 10 determines that the target application is in an unavailable state.

The application defrosting system 10 determines that the target application is in an unavailable state by any of the following methods:

(1) Acquiring information of the target application, for example, acquiring information of the target application from the storage device 11. When the acquired information is empty, it is determined that the target application is in an unavailable state. Determining that the target application is in an available state when the acquired information is not empty;

Optionally, when the desktop icon parameter representation of the target application is available, for example, setting the desktop icon parameter to 1 to indicate that the desktop icon is available, the application thawing system 10 determines that the desktop icon of the target application is in an available state. When the desktop icon parameter representation of the target application is not available, for example, setting the desktop icon parameter to 0 to indicate that it is unavailable, the application defrosting system 10 determines that the desktop icon of the target application is in an unavailable state.

Determining a usage status of the target application according to a usage status of the desktop icon of the target application. When the desktop icon of the target application is in an unavailable state, the application defrosting system 10 determines that the target application is in an unavailable state. When the desktop icon of the target application is in an available state, the application defrosting system 10 determines that the target application is in an available state.

When the desktop does not have an icon for the target application, the application defrosting system 10 determines that the target application is in an unavailable state.

When the target application is in an unavailable state, the application defrosting system 10 determines whether the target application is in a frozen state.

In this embodiment, the storage device 11 stores a freeze list. The freeze list stores information of the frozen application. The information of the frozen application includes the name of the application, and the like. When an application is frozen, the application's information is stored in the frozen list.

When the target application is queried in the freeze list, for example, when the name of the target application is queried in the freeze list, the application defrosting system 10 determines that the target application is frozen. status.

The application defrosting system 10 unfreezes the target application when the target application is in an unavailable state and the target application is in a frozen state. In this embodiment, the application defrosting system 10 deletes the target application from the freeze list to unfreeze the target application. After the target application is unfrozen, the target application is in an available state, the application defrosting system 10 starts the target application, and performs an operation corresponding to the function item with the target application.

When the target application is not queried in the freeze list, for example, when the name of the target application is not queried in the freeze list, the application defrosting system 10 determines the target application Not frozen. When the target application is in an unavailable state and the target application is not frozen, the application defrosting system 10 determines that the target application is not installed in the electronic device 1, the application The defrosting system 10 prompts the user to install the target application.
