APPLICATION START METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention relates to an application start method and apparatus, which fall within the technical field of computers. The method comprises: establishing a connection with a terminal (101); detecting whether the terminal supports a private protocol (102); and if it is detected that the terminal supports the private protocol, starting an application based on the private protocol (103). The present invention can solve the problem that a great amount of memory of a router can be wasted by running an application based on a private protocol when there is no connection established between the router and a terminal supporting the private protocol, thereby achieving the effect of saving the memory of the router.
