Determining, according to the first instruction from the user, the first extended function identifier and the second instruction from the user, determining the second extended function identifier, and determining the first application corresponding to the first extended function and the second application corresponding to the second extended function, The determined first application transmits a control object for activating the first extended function.

Wherein the second extended function matches the first extended function.

The first extended function is a joint trigger condition, and the second extended function is a joint result. For example, the first extended function is: sending an output object when calling a preset mobile phone number, and the control object of the sent output object is marked as indicating that the phone is connected or hangs up; the second extended function is: the output received by the second application The object's control mark is to indicate that the phone is turned on for recording when the call is connected, and when the control is marked to indicate that the call is hung up, the recorder is turned off and the recording is saved.

The object type of the second output object is an output, the source application is an application joint device, and the destination application is a second extended function, and the output logical value marked as the first extended function is controlled.

In this step, after receiving the second output object, the second application performs or stops the second extended function according to the output logic value of the first extended function in the second output object.

In this step, when the first application satisfies the trigger condition of the first extended function, the first extended function is executed, and the first output object is sent.

The method also includes:

Step 100: Determine that the third application has an extended function, and save or update a correspondence between the third application identifier and the identifier of the corresponding extended function.
