Methods and systems for processing information cards. The implementations include receiving from a first application an instruction by a second application to process the information card. The first application is different from an application corresponding to the information card, and the second application is capable of processing the information card. The second application may process the information card based on the instruction. Alternatively, the second application may return service data to the first application based on the instruction such that the first application processes the information card based on the service data. This improves flexibility and efficiency of information card processing.
