Abstract

Application management methods and systems are provided. The OS (Operating System) information of a specific platform of a device is first obtained. A specific application among a plurality of applications is selected according to the OS information, wherein the applications are respectively coded for a plurality of platforms. Then, the selected application is executed on the device.

Claims

1. An application management method, comprising:

obtaining OS (Operating System) information of a specific platform of a device;

selecting a specific application among a plurality of applications according to the OS information, wherein the applications are respectively coded for a plurality of platforms; and

executing the selected application on the device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing an interface for selecting the specific platform to obtain the OS information.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising automatically detecting the specific platform to obtain the OS information.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of automatically detecting the specific platform to obtain the OS information is performed by a management module coded using a first program language, wherein the first program language is supported by the platforms.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the applications are respectively coded using a second program language.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the selected application performs digital rights management on the device.

7. An application management system, comprising:

a device having a specific OS (Operating System) platform;

a plurality of applications, wherein the applications are respectively coded for a plurality of platforms; and

a management module obtaining the OS (Operating System) information of the specific platform of the device, selecting a specific application among the applications according to the OS information, and executing the selected application on the device.

8. The system of claim 7, further comprising an interface for selecting the specific platform to obtain the OS information.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the management module further automatically detects the specific platform to obtain the OS information.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the management module is coded using a first program language, wherein the first program language is supported by the platforms.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the applications are respectively coded using a second program language.

12. The system of claim 7, wherein the selected application performs digital rights management on the device.

13. A machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform an application management method, and the method comprising:

obtaining OS (Operating System) information of a specific platform of the device;

selecting a specific application among a plurality of applications according to the OS information, wherein the applications are respectively coded for a plurality of platforms; and

executing the selected application on the device.
