Abstract

A method and an apparatus for integrating Java software into a mobile terminal are provided. The method includes: installing and resolving Java software configured with an extended attribute to obtain contact data corresponding to the extended attribute; and adding an option for starting the Java software to the user interface of the mobile terminal according to the contact data, where the contact data includes the location and format of the added option for the Java software, and the data of the application entry of the Java software.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method for integrating Java software into a mobile terminal, comprising:

installing and resolving Java software configured with an extended attribute to obtain contact data corresponding to the extended attribute; and

adding an option for starting the Java software to a user interface of an existing application of the mobile terminal according to the contact data, wherein the contact data comprises a location and format of the added option for the Java software, and data of an application entry of the Java software and defines an already existing application to which the option is added, wherein the option is deleted automatically from the user interface of the existing application in response to a user deleting the Java software from the mobile terminal;

wherein adding the option for starting the Java software to the user interface of the mobile terminal comprises;

sending installation information of the Java software to a functional module corresponding to the user interface;

obtaining, by the functional module corresponding to the user interface, the contact data of the Java software in response to the functional module corresponding to the user interface being started initially or the installation information of the Java software being received; and

displaying, by the functional module corresponding to the user interface, an option of the Java software on the user interface according to the contact data of the Java software.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein installing and resolving the Java software configured with the extended attribute to obtain the contact data corresponding to the extended attribute comprises:

obtaining the extended attribute from a Java application descriptor (JAD) file of the Java software by resolving the file, and obtaining the location of the added option for the Java software from a Java archive (JAR) file of the Java software.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein after the step of adding the option for starting the Java software on the user interface of the mobile terminal, the method further comprises:

triggering the application entry of the Java software in the contact data through the option to invoke the Java software.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the format of the option of the Java software comprises:

a menu option, a soft key, or a list.

5. An apparatus for integrating Java software into a mobile terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to;

install and resolve Java software configured with an extended attribute to obtain contact data corresponding to the extended attribute;

add an option for starting the Java software to a user interface of an existing application of the mobile terminal according to the contact data;

send installation information of the Java software to a functional module corresponding to the user interface

obtain the contact data of the Java software in response to the functional module corresponding to the user interface being started initially or the installation information of the Java software being received; and

display, by the functional module corresponding to the user interface, an option of the Java software on the user interface according to the contact data of the Java software;

wherein the contact data comprises a location and format of the added option for the Java software, and data of an application entry of the Java software and defines an already existing application to which the option is added, wherein the option is deleted automatically from the user interface of the existing application in response to a user deleting the Java software from the mobile terminal.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

trigger an application entry of the Java software in the contact data through the option to invoke the Java software.

7. A mobile terminal, comprising the apparatus for integrating the Java software into the mobile terminal according to claim 5.
