Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of an update package generation method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and is applied to a mobile terminal, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following steps:

step 101, obtaining an update package of a first version of a target object, and obtaining an installation package of a second version of the target object, where the target object includes an operating system or an application program, the first version is higher than the second version, and the second version is the version of the target object currently installed by the mobile terminal.

In this embodiment, the target object may be an operating system of the mobile terminal or an application installed on the mobile terminal. The second version of the target object may be a version of the target object currently installed by the mobile terminal, and the first version of the target object may be an updated version higher than the first version, for example: the second version of an application is v1.1 and the first version is v 1.2.

The update package of the first version of the target object may be a differential package updated from the second version of the target object to the first version of the target object, or may be a complete installation package updated from the second version of the target object to the first version of the target object, that is, the update package of the first version may include only the content of the difference portion between the second version and the first version, or may include all the content of the first version. The installation package of the second version of the target object may be a complete package of the second version of the target object, i.e. including the entire content of the second version.

The update package for acquiring the first version of the target object may be an update package for downloading the first version of the target object, or may be an update package for acquiring a downloaded first version of the target object. The obtaining of the second version of the target object may be obtaining a currently installed version of the target object from a system partition of the mobile terminal.

In addition, in this step, the acquiring of the update package of the first version of the target object may be performed when the mobile terminal starts a task of updating the target object, or may be performed when the mobile terminal downloads the update package of the updated version of the target object.

And 102, comparing the content of the update package of the first version with the content of the installation package of the second version to obtain the difference degree between the first version and the second version.

Since the first version is an updated version of the target object and the second version is a current version of the target object, in this step, a difference degree between the first version and the second version may be compared, and if the update package of the first version is a differential package, before the comparison, the update package of the first version and the installation package of the second version may be synthesized to obtain the installation package of the first version, and then contents of the installation package of the first version and contents of the installation package of the second version are compared, and if the update package of the first version is a complete installation package, the contents of the update package of the first version and contents of the installation package of the second version may be directly compared without being synthesized. For example: the difference between the first version and the second version in the operation flow facing the user or the difference between the first version and the second version in the interface layout can be compared.

In the comparison process, the difference between the content of the update package of the first version and the content of the installation package of the second version may be quantified, so as to obtain the degree of difference between the first version and the second version. For example: if the number of components on an interface of the first version is six and the number of components on the interface of the second version is five, it can be determined that the degree of difference between the first version and the second version with respect to the interface is 20%. More specifically, because the content of each different module in the update package of the first version may be compared with the content of each different module in the installation package of the second version during the comparison, so as to obtain the difference degree between the content of each different module of the first version and the content of each different module of the second version, when determining the final difference degree, different weights may be taken for the difference degrees of the content of each different module to calculate the difference degree between the first version and the second version.

It should be noted that, during comparison, only the target content in the update package of the first version may be compared with the target content in the update package of the second version, where the target content in the update package of the first version may be the content in the update package of the first version that is updated compared with the second version, and the target content in the installation package of the second version may be the content in the second version that has the same identifier as the target content in the update package of the first version. For example: if only the layout of an interface in the first version is updated, only the layout of the interface in the first version and the layout of the interface in the second version may be compared. In this way, for the content in the update package of the first version that is not updated compared with the second version, comparison is not needed, so as to save system resources.

And 103, generating an update package for restoring the first version of the target object to the second version of the target object when the difference degree between the first version and the second version is greater than a preset threshold value.

The preset threshold may be a difference threshold preset by the mobile terminal, or may be a difference threshold defined by a user. In this embodiment, if it is compared that the difference degree between the first version and the second version is greater than the preset threshold, an update package for restoring from the first version to the second version of the target object may be generated, where the update package of the second version may be a differential package or a complete installation package, and preferably, to avoid occupying a large storage space, an update differential package for restoring from the first version to the second version of the target object may be generated. Specifically, a reverse update package that is restored from the first version of the target object to the second version of the target object by using a difference algorithm may be generated according to the content difference between the first version and the second version.

In addition, if the step is performed during the process of updating the target object by the mobile terminal, when the difference degree between the first version and the second version is greater than a preset threshold, the installation package of the second version may be backed up to prevent the installation package of the second version from being covered by the update package of the first version during updating, then a reverse update package for restoring the first version of the target object to the second version of the target object may be generated according to the backed-up installation package of the second version and the update package of the first version, and after the reverse update package is generated, the backed-up installation package of the second version may be deleted to release the storage space of the mobile terminal.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may be any device having a storage medium, for example: terminal devices such as computers (Computer), Mobile phones, Tablet Personal computers (Tablet Personal Computer), Laptop computers (Laptop Computer), Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), Mobile Internet Devices (MID), and Wearable devices (Wearable Device).

In the update package generation method in this embodiment, the mobile terminal may obtain an update package of a first version of a target object and an installation package of a second version of the target object, compare the difference degree between the first version and the second version, and generate an update package for restoring from the first version to the second version of the target object when the difference degree between the first version and the second version exceeds a preset threshold. In this way, if the target object needs to be restored from the first version to the second version, the user does not need to search and download the installation package of the second version of the target object, and the generated update package can be directly used to restore the target object from the first version to the second version, thereby providing an advantage of easy operation.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of another update package generation method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a mobile terminal, and in this embodiment, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, a step of comparing the content of the update package of the first version with the content of the installation package of the second version to obtain a difference degree between the first version and the second version is refined, so that a comparison manner between the content of the update package of the first version and the content of the installation package of the second version is clearer and more specific. As shown in fig. 2, the method comprises the steps of:

step 201, obtaining an update package of a first version of a target object, and obtaining an installation package of a second version of the target object, where the target object includes an operating system or an application program, the first version is higher than the second version, and the second version is the version of the target object currently installed by the mobile terminal.

The specific implementation of this step may refer to the implementation of step 101 in the method embodiment shown in fig. 1, and is not described here again to avoid repetition.

Step 202, comparing the content of the target module in the update package of the first version with the content of the module with the same name as the target module in the installation package of the second version, respectively, to obtain the difference degree between the target module and the module with the same name as the target module in the installation package of the second version, wherein the target module is a module which is updated in the update package of the first version compared with the second version.

In this embodiment, the update package or the installation package may include a plurality of different modules, and each module has a different name, for example: the installation package for the operating system may include several application modules and system configuration modules, each named by a different name. Therefore, in this step, the content of the target module in the update package of the first version may be compared with the content of the module with the same name as the target module in the installation package of the second version, where the target module may be a module in the update package of the first version that is updated compared with the second version, and there may be one or more target modules. Specifically, a target module in the update package of the first version may be determined first, then a module with the same name as the target module in the installation package of the second version may be determined, and finally contents of the two modules may be compared, where a specific comparison manner may refer to a related implementation manner of step 102 in the method embodiment shown in fig. 1, and details are not repeated here to avoid repetition.

After the content of the target module in the update package of the first version is respectively compared with the content of the module with the same name as the target module in the installation package of the second version, the difference degree between the target module and the module with the same name as the target module in the installation package of the second version can be obtained, so that the mobile terminal can generate a reverse update package for the module with larger change after update conveniently, and a user can restore the specific module conveniently.

Step 203, if the difference degree between the first target module and the module with the same name as the first target module in the installation package of the second version is greater than a preset threshold value, generating an update package for restoring the first version of the first target module to the second version of the first target module.

In this embodiment, if it is determined after the comparison that the difference degree between the first target module and the module with the same name as the first target module in the installation package of the second version is greater than the preset threshold, the update package used for restoring the first version of the first target module to the second version of the first target module may be generated, and specifically, the reverse update package used for restoring the first version of the first target module to the second version of the first target module may be generated by using a differential algorithm.

It should be noted that, if the step is performed in the process of updating the target object by the mobile terminal, when it is determined that a difference degree between a first target module and a module, which is in the same name as the first target module, in the installation package of the second version is greater than a preset threshold, a module, which is in the same name as the first target module, in the installation package of the second version may be backed up, so that the module is covered by the first target module during updating, then a reverse update package, which is restored from the first version of the first target module to the second version of the first target module, is generated according to the backed-up module and the first target module, and after the reverse update package is generated, the backed-up module may be deleted, so as to release the storage space of the mobile terminal.

Therefore, after the mobile terminal updates the target object from the old version to the new version, if the user does not adapt to the change of a certain module, the generated reverse update package of the module can be used for restoring the version of the module, and if the user does not adapt to the change of a plurality of modules, the generated reverse update packages of the modules can be used for uniformly restoring the modules to the original version, so that the user can conveniently and flexibly restore the version of the specific module.

Optionally, after step 201 and before step 202, the method further includes:

identifying at least two modules having a calling relationship in the first version of the update package;

after step 203, the method further comprises:

and if a second target module having a calling relationship with the first target module exists in the update package of the first version, generating an update package for restoring the first version of the second target module to a second version of the second target module.

In this embodiment, after obtaining the update package of the first version of the target object, each module in the update package of the first version may be identified, so as to identify at least two modules having a call relationship in the update package of the first version, specifically, the source code file in the update package of the first version may be scanned, and the at least two modules having a call relationship are identified from the source code file, and if a call relationship exists between two modules, a call statement is usually made in the source code file, and an address of a called party is indicated in a call definition, so that the at least two modules having a call relationship in the update package of the first version may be identified by scanning the source code file.

In this embodiment, after generating an update package for restoring from the first version of the first target module to the second version of the first target module, it may be further searched whether a second target module having a calling relationship with the first target module exists in the update package of the first version, and specifically, it may be searched whether a second target module having a calling relationship with the first target module exists in the update package of the first version according to at least two modules having a calling relationship in the identified update package of the first version. If a second target module having a calling relationship with the first target module exists in the update package of the first version, an update package for restoring the first version of the second target module to the second version of the second target module may be generated.

In this way, if an update package is generated for at least two modules having a calling relationship, in which any one of the modules is restored from the first version to the second version, the update packages for other modules are simultaneously generated from the first version to the second version, so that the problem of incompatibility or program crash caused by that after a certain module is restored, other modules having a calling relationship with the module are not restored can be prevented.

Preferably, in this embodiment, after at least two modules having a calling relationship in the first version of the update package are identified, the at least two modules having a calling relationship may be further marked as associated modules, and an update list is generated, in which basic information of each module in the first version of the update package and modules respectively associated with each module are recorded. In addition, the update lists may be grouped, for example, the modules marked as associated modules in the update package of the first version may be divided into one group, and the modules not marked as associated modules in the update package of the first version may be divided into another group. For example: the update package of the first version comprises a module A, a module B, a module C, a module D, a module E and a module F, wherein the module B and the module D have a calling relationship, the module C and the module F have a calling relationship, the module A and the module E can be divided into a group in a generated update list, the module B, the module D, the module C and the module F are divided into a group, the module B and the module D are related modules, and the module C and the module F are related modules.

In this way, when comparing, according to the update list, sequentially comparing the content of the target module in the update package of the first version with the content of the module with the same name as the target module in the installation package of the second version, if it is compared that the difference degree between the first target module and the module with the same name as the first target module in the installation package of the second version in the update package of the first version is greater than the preset threshold value, then after generating an update package for a reduction from the first version of the first target module to the second version of the first target module, a first step of searching the updated list for the existence of a second target module associated with the first target module, and if so, an update package is generated for a reduction from the first version of the second destination module to a second version of the second destination module.

For example: if the module A and the module C in the generated updating list are in a group, the module B and the module D are in a group, wherein, the module B and the module D are related modules, the module a, the module C, and the module B in the update package of the first version may be sequentially compared with the module a, the module C, and the module B in the installation package of the second version, if the difference degree between the module B in the update package of the first version and the module B in the installation package of the second version is greater than a preset threshold value, generating an update package for the reduction from the first version of the B-module to the second version of the B-module, and generating an update package for the reduction from the first version of the D-module to the second version of the D-module, without comparing the D-modules in the update package of the first version with the D-modules in the installation package of the second version, respectively.

In this way, for at least two modules having a calling relationship, as long as the difference degree between the content of one of the modules and the content of the module with the same name as the module in the installation package of the second version is greater than the preset threshold value, the comparison of other modules in the at least two modules having the calling relationship is not needed, so that certain system resources can be saved.

Optionally, after the step of generating, if there is a second target module having a call relationship with the first target module in the update package of the first version, an update package for restoring from the first version of the second target module to the second version of the second target module, the method further includes:

and making all the generated update packages into compressed packages and storing the compressed packages into a storage space of the mobile terminal.

In this embodiment, all the generated update packages can be made into compressed packages and stored in the storage space of the mobile terminal, so that the storage space of the mobile terminal can be saved, a user can conveniently search the generated update packages, and the user can conveniently perform unified restoration on modules with large changes after updating.

In this embodiment, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the step of comparing the content of the update package of the first version with the content of the installation package of the second version to obtain the difference degree between the first version and the second version is refined, so that the comparison manner between the content of the update package of the first version and the content of the installation package of the second version is more clear and specific. In addition, in this embodiment, various optional embodiments are added on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and these optional embodiments may be implemented in combination with each other or individually, and all that is achieved is that the user does not need to search and download the installation package of the second version of the target object, but the generated update package may be directly used to restore the target object from the first version to the second version, thereby having the technical effect of being simple and convenient to operate.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of another update package generation method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a mobile terminal, and in this embodiment, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, a step of comparing the content of the update package of the first version with the content of the installation package of the second version to obtain a difference degree between the first version and the second version is refined, so that a comparison manner between the content of the update package of the first version and the content of the installation package of the second version is clearer and more specific. As shown in fig. 2, the method comprises the steps of:

step 301, obtaining an update package of a first version of a target object, and obtaining an installation package of a second version of the target object, where the target object includes an operating system or an application program, the first version is higher than the second version, and the second version is the version of the target object currently installed by the mobile terminal.

Step 302, comparing the layout configuration file in the update package of the first version with the layout configuration file in the installation package of the second version to obtain the difference degree of the first version and the second version in layout configuration.

In this embodiment, since the layout configuration of the interface is an important factor that affects the usage habit of the user, in this step, the difference between the layout configurations of the first version and the second version may be compared, specifically, the difference may be obtained by scanning the layout configuration file in the update package of the first version and the layout configuration file in the installation package of the second version, and comparing the layout configuration file in the update package of the first version and the layout configuration file in the installation package of the second version, respectively.

For example: by comparing the layout configuration file in the update package of the first version with the layout configuration file in the installation package of the second version, the arrangement difference of the interface elements (such as interface buttons, options, menus and the like) of the first version and the second version can be obtained, and by quantifying the arrangement difference of the interface elements of the first version and the second version, the difference degree of the first version and the second version in the layout configuration can be obtained.

In this way, in this step, the difference degree between the first version and the second version in the layout configuration is obtained by comparing the layout configuration file in the update package of the first version with the layout configuration file in the installation package of the second version, so that the difference degree between the first version and the second version can be compared from the perspective of meeting the use habit of the user, and the user experience is further improved.

Step 303, in a case that the difference degree between the first version and the second version in the layout configuration is greater than a preset threshold, generating an update package for restoring the first version of the target object to the second version of the target object.

In this embodiment, if the degree of difference between the first version and the second version in the layout configuration is greater than a preset threshold, it may be determined that the first version and the second version have a large difference, and therefore, in this step, an update package for restoring the first version of the target object to the second version of the target object may be generated under the condition that the degree of difference between the first version and the second version in the layout configuration is greater than the preset threshold, and a specific generation manner may refer to a related implementation manner of step 104 in the method embodiment shown in fig. 1, and is not described herein again to avoid repetition.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, step 302 and step 303 are replaceable, for example, step 302 may be replaced with:

comparing a source code in the update package of the first version with a source code of the installation package of the second version to obtain a difference of interface jump operation values and/or a difference of target jump interfaces of the first version and the second version;

and determining the difference degree of the first version and the second version on interface jump according to the difference of the interface jump operation values of the first version and the second version and/or the difference of a target jump interface.

Step 303 may be replaced with:

and under the condition that the difference degree of the first version and the second version in interface jump is larger than a preset threshold value, generating an update package for restoring the first version of the target object to the second version of the target object.

Since the user-oriented operation flow is another important factor that affects the usage habit of the user, in this embodiment, the difference between the first version and the second version in the interface jump can be compared, the jumping mode between interfaces is embodied in the source code of the installation package, so that the source code in the update package of the first version and the source code in the installation package of the second version can be scanned respectively, comparing the source code in the update package of the first version with the source code of the installation package of the second version to obtain the difference of the interface jump operation values and/or the difference of the target jump interface between the first version and the second version, the target jump interface can be understood as a target interface needing to jump, and the interface jump operation value can be understood as a trigger operation instruction for jumping to the target interface.

Then, the difference degree of the interface jump between the first version and the second version can be obtained by quantifying the difference of the interface jump operation values or the difference of the target jump interfaces between the first version and the second version, or quantifying and weighting the difference of the interface jump operation values and the difference of the target jump interfaces between the first version and the second version.

If the difference degree between the first version and the second version at the interface jump is greater than the preset threshold, it may be determined that the first version and the second version have a large difference, and therefore, in this step, an update package for restoring the first version of the target object to the second version of the target object may be generated under the condition that the difference degree between the first version and the second version at the interface jump is greater than the preset threshold, and a specific generation manner may refer to a related implementation manner of step 104 in the method embodiment shown in fig. 1, and is not described herein again to avoid repetition.

In this way, in this embodiment, by comparing the source code in the update package of the first version with the source code in the installation package of the second version, the difference degree of the first version and the second version in interface jump is obtained, so that the difference degree of the first version and the second version can be compared from the perspective of an operation flow facing a user, and further user experience is improved.

Optionally, step 302 includes:

comparing the layout configuration files in the update package of the first version with the layout configuration files in the installation package of the second version to obtain the quantity difference and/or display content difference of the interface components of the first version and the second version;

and determining the difference degree of the first version and the second version in the layout configuration according to the difference of the number of the interface components and/or the difference of the display contents of the first version and the second version.
