Detailed Description

The terms "first" and "second" and the like in the description and drawings of the present application are used for distinguishing different objects or for distinguishing different processes for the same object, and are not used for describing a specific order of the objects. For example, the first application and the second application are different applications.

In order to accurately prompt a user of a third-party application incompatible with the upgraded operating system, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for prompting the user to update an application version, and a basic principle of the method is as follows: the method comprises the steps that a mobile terminal obtains a system version number, wherein the system version number is the version number of a system version needing to be installed by an operating system installed on the mobile terminal, and compatibility information of a first application installed on the mobile terminal is obtained according to the system version number, the compatibility information is used for determining whether the first application is compatible with the system version, and if the first application is not compatible with the system version, the mobile terminal displays first prompt information to prompt a user that the first application is not compatible with the system version. The mobile terminal can accurately identify whether the first application installed on the mobile terminal is compatible with the system version of the operating system to be installed or not according to the acquired compatibility information, and if not, prompts a user that the first application is incompatible with the system version of the operating system to be installed, so that the user can be accurately prompted of a third party application which cannot be compatible after the operating system is upgraded, and user experience is improved.

Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a simplified schematic diagram of a system architecture to which embodiments of the present application may be applied. As shown in fig. 1, in a scenario that the mobile terminal cannot implement the compatibility test on the application, the system architecture may include: a server 11 and a mobile terminal 12.

The server 11 may be a server deployed in the cloud. In the embodiment of the present application, the server 11 stores compatibility information of a plurality of applications in advance. The "plurality" of applications may refer to all applications in the application market, and may also refer to mainstream applications in the application market, such as applications that have a download size greater than a certain threshold and/or a usage frequency greater than a certain threshold. Also, the compatibility information of the application stored in the server 11 is also updated according to the update of the application in the application market.

The compatibility information of the application may include a package name, a latest version number, and a compatibility result of the application. Where the package name of an application is a unique identity of the application for uniquely identifying the application, for example, the package name may contain capital letters (a to Z), lowercase letters (a to Z), numbers, and underlines, possibly separated by dots. The latest version number of an application is the number of the latest version of the application. The compatibility result of the application is used to indicate whether the latest version of the application is compatible with the system version. The system version may be the latest version of the operating system or other versions of the operating system.

For example, as shown in tables 1 and 2, the server 11 stores therein the compatibility information of the applications in the form of a list. Table 1 stores compatibility information between the application and the system version with the system version number of Android 6.0. Table 2 stores compatibility information of the application and the system version and the application with a system version number of Android 7.0. In the embodiment of the present application, the compatibility information of the application and different system versions may also be stored in the same table.

TABLE 1

TABLE 2

In the compatibility result, Y represents that the application of the latest version is compatible with the system version, and N represents that the application of the latest version is incompatible with the system version. For example, as can be seen from table 1, the latest version number of the application with the package name com.zan.video is 10.0.19, and the version is compatible with the system version number Android 6.0. The latest version number of the application with the package name cn.p123.wei is 3.0.9, and the version is compatible with the system version number of Android 6.0. The latest version number of the application with the package name zhangsan. xbo is 4.3.0, and the version is incompatible with the system version number of Android 6.0, and other applications are similar.

The mobile terminal 12 may be a desktop, laptop, tablet, handheld Computer, cell phone, notebook, Ultra-mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), netbook, and cellular phone, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), dedicated media player, consumer electronics, wearable, smart watch, smart glasses, television, and so forth. As an example, fig. 1 illustrates the mobile terminal 12 as a mobile phone.

If the mobile terminal can implement the compatibility test for the application, the system architecture may not include the server 11.

In the embodiment of the present application, a mobile terminal is taken as an example for description. The following describes the components of the mobile phone in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

as shown in fig. 2, the mobile phone may include: the touch screen 21, the processor 22, the memory 23, the power supply 24, a Radio Frequency (RF) circuit 25, a gravity sensor 26, an audio circuit 27, a speaker 28, a microphone 29, and the like, which may be connected by a bus or directly. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the handset configuration shown in fig. 2 is not intended to be limiting and may include more components than those shown, or some components may be combined, or a different arrangement of components.

The touch screen 21 may be referred to as a touch display panel, and is used for implementing input and output functions of the mobile phone, collecting touch operations of a user on or near the touch screen 21 (for example, operations of the user on or near the touch screen 21 using any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, a stylus, etc.), and driving the corresponding connection device according to a preset program. And may also be used to display information entered by or provided to the user (e.g., images captured by a camera) as well as various menus for the handset. For example, the touch screen 21 may be implemented by various types, such as a resistive type, a capacitive type, an infrared sensing type, an ultrasonic wave type, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The operation of the user near the touch screen 21 may be referred to as floating touch, and the touch screen capable of performing floating touch may be implemented by using capacitive type, infrared sensing, ultrasonic wave, and the like.

For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the touch screen 21 may include a detection module 211 and a display module 212. The detection module 211 may detect a touch operation of a user on the touch screen 21, and may transmit a parameter generated by the touch screen 21 to the processor 22 after the touch operation is performed on the touch screen 21 (for example, if the touch screen 21 is implemented by using a capacitive type, the detection module 211 may transmit a variation parameter on the touch screen 21 to the processor 22, where the variation parameter refers to a size, a shape, a number, and a distribution of a capacitance value of a capacitance that varies), so that the processor 22 performs corresponding processing according to the touch operation. The display module 212 may display information input by a user, information provided to the user by the mobile phone, various menus of the mobile phone, and the like.

The processor 22 is a control center of the mobile phone, connects various parts of the entire mobile phone by using various interfaces and lines, and performs various functions of the mobile phone and processes data by operating or executing software programs and/or modules stored in the memory 23 and calling data stored in the memory 23, thereby performing overall monitoring of the mobile phone. In particular implementations, processor 22 may include one or more processing units, for one embodiment; processor 22 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. The application processor mainly processes an operating system, a user interface, application programs and the like, and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communication. It will be appreciated that the modem processor described above may not be integrated into the processor 22.

The Memory 23 may be used for storing data, software programs and modules, and may be a Volatile Memory (Volatile Memory), such as a Random-Access Memory (RAM); or a Non-Volatile Memory (Non-Volatile Memory), such as a Read-Only Memory (ROM), a Flash Memory (Flash Memory), a Hard Disk (Hard Disk Drive, HDD) or a Solid-State Drive (SSD); or a combination of the above types of memories. Specifically, the memory 23 may store a program code, which is used to enable the processor 22 to execute the method for prompting the user to update the application version provided by the embodiment of the present application by executing the program code.

The power supply 24, which may be a battery, is logically connected to the processor 22 through a power management system, such that functions of managing charging, discharging, and power consumption are performed through the power management system.

RF circuitry 25 may be used for receiving and transmitting signals during a message transmission or communication session, and in particular, for processing received messages to processor 22; in addition, signals generated by the processor 22 are transmitted. Typically, the RF circuitry includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one Amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), a duplexer, and the like. In addition, the RF circuitry 25 may also communicate with networks and other devices via wireless communications.

The Gravity Sensor (Gravity Sensor)26 can detect the acceleration of the mobile phone in each direction (generally three axes), can detect the Gravity and direction when the mobile phone is stationary, and can be used for applications of recognizing the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer and tapping) and the like. It should be noted that the mobile phone may further include other sensors, such as a pressure sensor, an optical sensor, a gyroscope, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, an infrared sensor, and so on, which are not described herein again.

Audio circuitry 27, speaker 28, microphone 29 may provide an audio interface between the user and the handset. The audio circuit 27 can transmit the electrical signal converted from the received audio data to the speaker 28, and the electrical signal is converted into a sound signal by the speaker 28 and output; on the other hand, the microphone 29 converts the collected sound signals into electrical signals, which are received by the audio circuit 27 and converted into audio data, which are output to the RF circuit 25 for transmission to, for example, another cellular phone, or to the processor 22 for further processing.

In addition, an operating system runs on the above components. Running applications such as PayPal, Wechat, twitter, WhatsApp, email, QQ, weather, etc. may be installed on the operating system. And, although not shown, the mobile phone may further include a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) module, a bluetooth module, a camera, and the like.

It should be noted that the triggering operation in the embodiment of the present application may be an operation on the touch screen, such as a pressing operation, a long-time pressing operation, a sliding operation, a clicking operation, and the like, or an operation near the touch screen by the user, that is, a floating touch, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited specifically herein.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for prompting a user to update an application version according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, the method may include:

s301, the mobile terminal obtains a system version number.

The system version number is the version number of the system version to be installed by the operating system of the mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal needs to upgrade the current system version of the operating system, the mobile terminal may obtain the version number of the system version that the operating system needs to install.

For example, the mobile terminal may obtain the system version number according to an installation package of the system version to be installed by the operating system actively pushed by the server, or obtain the system version number through a notification message sent by the server to notify that the operating system with the new version is available for updating. In addition, the mobile terminal may also display a prompt message to prompt the user that the operating system of the mobile terminal has a version available for updating, and ask the user whether the current system version of the operating system needs to be updated, i.e., whether the system version to be installed needs to be installed.

For example, in a scenario where the system version to be installed is the latest version of the operating system, in one possible implementation manner, when the operating system of the mobile terminal issues a new version, the server may actively push the installation package of the latest version of the operating system to the mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal detects the installation package of the latest version of the operating system, as shown in fig. 4, the mobile terminal may display a prompt window 301, the prompt window 301 may display prompt information 3011 prompting the user that the operating system has a new version released and can be installed, and may also display a "install now" button 3012, a "cancel" button 3013, and a "remind later" button 3014 to ask the user whether the installation is needed now, or cancelled, or installed later. At this time, the user can perform triggering operation on the corresponding button according to the requirement of the user. For example, when the user needs to upgrade the operating system and the operating system is conveniently upgraded at present, the button "install now" can be triggered, when the user does not need to upgrade the operating system, the button "cancel" can be triggered, when the user needs to upgrade the operating system, but when the operating system is inconvenient to upgrade at present, the button "remind later" can be triggered.

In another possible implementation manner, when the operating system of the mobile terminal issues a new version, the server sends a notification message to the client to notify the mobile terminal that the operating system of the new version issues. After the terminal device detects the notification message, as shown in (a) of fig. 5, a prompt window 302 may be displayed to ask the user whether the installation package of the latest version of the operating system needs to be downloaded. When the user determines to download, as shown in (b) in fig. 5, the user may perform a trigger operation on the "ok" button 3021. After the mobile terminal detects the triggering operation of the 'confirmation' button by the user, the installation package of the latest version of the operating system can be downloaded by the server. After the installation package of the latest version of the operating system is completely downloaded, as shown in (c) of fig. 5, the mobile terminal may display a prompt window 303 to inquire whether the user is currently installed, and at this time, the user may perform a trigger operation on a corresponding button according to the needs of the user.

After the mobile terminal acquires the system version number, the compatibility information of at least one application installed on the mobile terminal may be acquired according to the system version number, and the compatibility information is used to determine whether the application is compatible with the system version. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: the compatibility information may include: package name, latest version number of the application, and compatibility result. The package name is used for uniquely identifying the application, the latest version number is the number of the latest version of the application, and the compatibility result is used for indicating whether the application of the latest version is compatible with the system version.

It should be noted that the at least one application may be all applications installed by the mobile terminal, or may be a certain application or a part of applications or a certain type of applications in all applications installed by the mobile terminal, or may be a certain application or certain applications set by the user. For example, the partial application may be an application with a frequency of use by the user above a certain threshold, or an application in which a time that the user has recently used the application satisfies a certain condition (e.g., the application has been used within a day). Some applications may be chat applications such as QQ, wechat, etc., or music applications such as cool dog, cool me, etc.

In the embodiment of the present application, a specific description is given by taking an example of obtaining compatibility information of a first application installed in a mobile terminal. The first application may be the application that is most recently used by the user and/or that is most frequently used by the user and/or that is specified by the user.

In a first possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the specific way for the mobile terminal to obtain, according to the system version number, the compatibility information of the first application installed on the mobile terminal may be: and the mobile terminal tests the compatibility of the first application and the system version to obtain the compatibility information of the first application.

For example, when the mobile terminal needs to obtain the compatibility information of multiple applications, the compatibility of each application with the system version may be tested to obtain the compatibility information of each application.

In a second possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the following steps may be specifically executed by the mobile terminal to obtain, according to the system version, the compatibility information of at least one application installed in the mobile terminal: and S302.

S302, the mobile terminal receives the compatibility information of the first application sent by the server.

For example, in one possible implementation manner, the server may actively push the compatibility information of the application installed by the user (the user may be a specific user account or a specific mobile terminal) in the application market to the mobile terminal, or may also actively push the compatibility information of all applications in the application market to the mobile terminal.

In another possible implementation manner, further optionally, before S302, the method may further include:

s303, the mobile terminal sends a request message to the server.

The request message may include a package name and a system version number of the first application installed in the mobile terminal. After the mobile terminal obtains the system version number, the package name of the first application installed on the mobile terminal can be obtained, and the obtained package name and the system version number of the first application are carried in the request message and sent to the server.

When the mobile terminal needs to obtain the compatibility information of multiple applications, the packet names and the system version numbers of the multiple applications can be carried in the same request message and sent to the server.

S304, the server acquires the compatibility information of the first application installed on the mobile terminal according to the request message.

The operating system issues a new version once, developers can use a detection tool to test all applications or mainstream applications in the application market to obtain compatibility information of the applications and the operating system of the latest version, and the obtained compatibility information is preset in a cloud server. In addition, after the operating system issues the new version, a developer of the third-party application may issue the new version application, which is compatible with the latest version of the operating system, to the application market after completing the compatibility adaptation of the third-party application, and therefore, after the application in the application market is updated, the compatibility result preset in the cloud needs to be updated.

After the server receives the request message sent by the mobile terminal, the compatibility information of the first application may be acquired from the pre-stored compatibility information. And may transmit the obtained compatibility information of the first application to the mobile terminal.

S305, the mobile terminal determines that the first application is incompatible with the system version according to the compatibility information.

After the mobile terminal acquires the compatibility information of the first application, compatibility check may be performed on the first application according to the acquired compatibility information. When the mobile terminal receives the compatibility information of the plurality of applications, the mobile terminal may perform compatibility check on each of the plurality of applications, that is, determine which applications of the plurality of applications are incompatible with the system version according to the obtained compatibility information.

For example, the specific determination of whether the first application is compatible with the system version may be: the mobile terminal judges whether the first application of the latest version is compatible with the system version according to the compatibility result included in the compatibility information of the first application, and if the first application of the latest version is not compatible with the system version, the first application can be determined to be not compatible with the system version. If the latest version of the first application is determined to be compatible with the system version, whether the current version number of the first application is lower than the latest version number of the first application is judged, and if the current version number of the first application is lower than the latest version number of the first application, the first application can be determined to be incompatible with the system version.

S306, the mobile terminal displays the first prompt message.

After the mobile terminal determines that the first application is incompatible with the system version, first prompt information for prompting the user that the first application is incompatible with the system version can be displayed.

When the mobile terminal determines that the plurality of applications are incompatible with the system version, the user may be simultaneously prompted that the plurality of applications are incompatible with the system version. For example, assume that the four applications QQ, email, weather, stock are incompatible with the system version. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the mobile terminal may display a prompt window 304, where a list of applications that are incompatible with the system version is displayed in the prompt window 304, and the list includes names of applications that are incompatible with the system version. For another example, as shown in fig. 7, the mobile terminal may display a prompt window 305, where a list of applications that are incompatible with the system version is displayed in the prompt window 305, and the list includes icons of the applications that are incompatible with the system version. The list of applications that are incompatible with the system version, shown in fig. 6 or fig. 7, may be a sorted list according to the frequency of use and/or the most recent time of use by the user.

In addition, in a possible implementation manner, the mobile terminal may display a second prompt message, such as an "update" button and a "cancel" button, while displaying the first prompt message, so as to prompt the user to update the application that is not compatible with the system version. For example, as shown in (a) in fig. 8, on the basis of fig. 7, an "update" button 3051 and a "cancel" button 3052 are displayed. If the user needs to update an application that is not compatible with the system version, as shown in fig. 8 (b), an "update" button 3051 may be triggered. After detecting the triggering operation of the "update" button 3051 by the user, as shown in fig. 9, the mobile terminal may display an available update window 306 in the application market, where the available update window 306 may include information such as an icon, an application name, a latest version number, and the like of each application that is not compatible with the system version, and may further include an "update" button. At this point, the user can update the application as needed.

In another possible implementation manner, after the first prompt message is displayed as in fig. 6 or fig. 7, the user may perform a trigger operation on the application needing to be updated according to the requirement. And when the mobile terminal receives the triggering operation of the user, the mobile terminal displays second prompt information to prompt the user to update the application. For example, on the basis of fig. 6, assuming that the user needs to update the email, as shown in (a) of fig. 10, the user may perform a trigger operation on the name of the email. When the mobile terminal detects the user's trigger operation, as shown in fig. 10 (b), a prompt window 307 may be displayed, inquiring whether the user updates the email. The user can trigger the 'confirm' button so that the email can be updated by the terminal device. After the application update is completed, the mobile terminal can also display prompt information to prompt the user that the application update is completed.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, S302 to S307 may be executed after the operating system of the mobile terminal is upgraded, or may be executed before the operating system of the mobile terminal is upgraded, that is, S302 to S307 may be executed after the system version of the operating system to be installed is installed in advance, or may be executed before the system version of the operating system to be installed is installed, so that a user may know in advance which applications need to be updated, and this embodiment of the application is not specifically limited herein.

In addition, the application also provides another method for prompting the user to update the application version, and in the method, the server only stores the compatibility test result of the latest system version of the operating system and the application, namely only stores the compatibility information for determining whether the application is compatible with the latest system version. The mobile terminal can directly acquire the compatibility information of the installed first application from the server without the need of a system version number, and prompt the user that the first application is incompatible with the latest system version when the first application is determined to be incompatible with the latest system version according to the acquired compatibility information.
