Detailed Description

In order to solve the problem that data exchange cannot be performed between applications and achieve data sharing and information interaction between the applications, embodiments of the present invention provide an application control method, an application control apparatus, a terminal device, and a medium.

First, some terms related to the embodiments of the present invention are explained to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

1. The terminal equipment: the electronic device may be a device that can install various applications and can display an object provided in the installed application, and may be mobile or fixed. For example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, various wearable devices, a vehicle-mounted device, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a point of sale (POS), or other electronic devices capable of implementing the above functions may be used.

2. The application comprises the following steps: i.e. application programs, computer programs that can perform one or more services, typically have a visual display interface that can interact with a user, for example electronic maps and wechat, are referred to as applications.

Some applications require the user to install the terminal device, and some applications do not require application installation, such as individual applets in the WeChat. The applet can be used without downloading or installing, and the user can open the application by scanning or searching.

3. The data interaction center: the data switching center is configured for applications, and is used for receiving service data sent by each application and forwarding the service data to other applications as a medium for data sharing and information interaction between the applications.

The data interaction center may be a terminal or an application, such as WeChat.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification, it being understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are merely for illustrating and explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention, and that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.

In the prior art, because each application is developed by a development team in different fields independently, each application (such as each applet of WeChat) is independent from each other, communication can be directly performed without corresponding communication interfaces, and the data formats of service data of each application are different, so that information interaction cannot be performed. Referring to fig. 1a, a schematic diagram of interaction between applications in the prior art is shown. The data request and response are carried out between different applications through the server, interaction between the applications is realized, the APP1 interacts with the APP2 through the server, namely, the APP1 and the APP2 need to interact through the server according to the sent request message and response message.

Further, during the process of switching between multiple applications, the user may need to continuously search for the application and manually input the service data output by one application into another application. For example, data such as a user's profile (e.g., geographic location) cannot be shared. The user may need to repeatedly input the same content while using different applications.

Obviously, there is no corresponding communication interface between each application to implement data sharing and exchange, when a user uses multiple applications, the operation steps are complicated, the processing efficiency is low, and it is often necessary to constantly perform switching and data input between each application, and there is a strong need for a method to implement data sharing and information interaction between each application.

The application control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment can be a mobile phone, a tablet Personal computer, various wearable equipment, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and the like.

Fig. 1b shows a schematic structural diagram of a terminal device 100. Referring to fig. 1b, the terminal device 100 includes: a processor 110, a memory 120, a power supply 130, a display unit 140, an input unit 150.

The processor 110 is a control center of the terminal device 100, connects various components using various interfaces and lines, and performs various functions of the terminal device 100 by running or executing software programs and/or data stored in the memory 120, thereby performing overall monitoring of the terminal device.

Alternatively, processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 110 may integrate an application processor, which mainly handles operating systems, user interfaces, applications, etc., and a modem processor, which mainly handles wireless communications. It will be appreciated that the modem processor described above may not be integrated into the processor 110. In some embodiments, the processor, memory, and/or memory may be implemented on a single chip, or in some embodiments, they may be implemented separately on separate chips.

The memory 120 may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area may store an operating system, various applications, and the like; the storage data area may store data created according to the use of the terminal device 100, and the like. Further, the memory 120 may include high speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid state storage device, among others.

The terminal device 100 further includes a power supply 130 (e.g., a battery) for supplying power to various components, which may be logically connected to the processor 110 via a power management system, thereby performing functions of managing charging, discharging, and power consumption via the power management system.

The display unit 140 may be used to display information input by a user or information provided to the user, various menus of the terminal device 100, and the like, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the display unit is mainly used to display a display interface of each application in the terminal device 100 and objects such as texts and pictures displayed in the display interface. The display unit 140 may include a display panel 141. The Display panel 141 may be configured in the form of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), or the like.

The input unit 150 may be used to receive information such as numbers or characters input by a user. The input unit 150 may include a touch panel 151 and other input devices 152. Among other things, the touch panel 151, also referred to as a touch screen, may collect touch operations by a user on or near the touch panel 151 (e.g., operations by a user on or near the touch panel 151 using any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, a stylus, etc.).

Specifically, the touch panel 151 may detect a touch operation of a user, detect signals caused by the touch operation, convert the signals into touch point coordinates, transmit the touch point coordinates to the processor 110, receive a command transmitted from the processor 110, and execute the command. In addition, the touch panel 151 may be implemented in various types, such as a resistive type, a capacitive type, an infrared ray, and a surface acoustic wave. Other input devices 152 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, power on/off keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, and the like.

Of course, the touch panel 151 may cover the display panel 141, and when the touch panel 151 detects a touch operation on or near the touch panel, the touch panel is transmitted to the processor 110 to determine the type of the touch event, and then the processor 110 provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 141 according to the type of the touch event. Although in fig. 1b the touch panel 151 and the display panel 141 are two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the terminal device 100, in some embodiments, the touch panel 151 and the display panel 141 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the terminal device 100.

The terminal device 100 may also include one or more sensors, such as pressure sensors, gravitational acceleration sensors, proximity light sensors, and the like. Of course, the terminal device 100 may further include other components such as a camera according to the requirements of a specific application, and these components are not shown in fig. 1b and are not described in detail since they are not components used in this embodiment.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that fig. 1b is merely an example of a terminal device and is not limiting of terminal devices, and may include more or fewer components than those shown, or some components may be combined, or different components.

Referring to fig. 2, which is a schematic diagram of an architecture of an application control technology provided by the present invention, a data interaction center may be generally set on a terminal device, the terminal device generally has a plurality of applications, for example, applications 1 to N shown in fig. 2, a user may perform data interaction with the applications through an input module, and a data exchange center may also perform service data interaction with each application through a set interface. In the following, the data interaction center, the application, and the input module will be described by taking the application control technology as an example applied to the terminal device 100 shown in fig. 1 b.

And the data interaction center is located in the processor 110 and is configured to receive the service data reported by each application, forward the service data to the corresponding target application, and receive the service data returned by the target application.

The input module is located in the input unit 150, and is configured to receive a user instruction input by a user and send the user instruction to the target application.

The service data set comprises service data reported by each application and received by the data interaction center. The service data also comprises service data generated and reported when the target application executes the operation.

For convenience of description, an application in a current activation state is called a current application, the current application reports service data to be reported to a data interaction center according to service setting, and the application for forwarding the service data by the data interaction center is called a target application. The data interaction center may receive service data reported by 1 or more applications, and therefore, a service data set may be stored in the data exchange center, and in order to determine a target application for forwarding the service data, an association relationship between the application and the service data also needs to be stored in the data exchange center. The business data set, the association relationship between the applications and the business data, and each application are stored in the memory 120.

Fig. 2 schematically illustrates only one application and one target application as an example, wherein the functional roles of the target application and the application may be interchanged, and the number of the target applications and the number of the applications may be 1 or multiple.

For example, a video application, a music application, and a browser application may all serve as applications to report service data, and may also all serve as target applications to receive service data forwarded by the data interaction center.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an implementation of the application control method according to the present invention. In the following description process, the description is made with reference to an interaction diagram of the application control method shown in fig. 2, and a specific implementation flow of the method is as follows:

and S31, the data interaction center receives the service data reported by the current application.

Specifically, when step S31 is executed, the service data is reported after the current application converts the original service data into the set data format, so that the target application can analyze the service data according to the data format when the service data is subsequently forwarded to the target application. Wherein, the service data at least comprises a service parameter. Optionally, the service parameters included in the service data may be numerical values, service types, files, and the like.

Optionally, when the application is used for reporting service data to the data interaction center, any one of the following manners may be adopted:

the first mode is as follows: and the application reports the service data to the data interaction center in real time.

As shown in table 1, it is a possible schematic of service data reported by an access manager (application):

TABLE 1

Referring to fig. 4, a schematic view of an application scenario of an application interface, where, in the application interface of the visited housekeeper, a user: oolong tea, visitor population: 1 person, visitor: and (4) the visiting manager reports the current visitor number and the name of the visitor of the oolong tea of the user to a WeChat (data interaction center) in real time.

The second way is: and the application reports the service data to the data interaction center according to the period.

As shown in table 2, it is a possible illustration of the service data reported by the weather forecast (application):

table 2.

For example, weather forecast reports weather (business data) in Beijing to WeChat (data interaction center) every hour.

The third mode is as follows: and when the application determines that the service data meets the reporting condition, reporting the service data to the data interaction center.

As shown in table 3, it is a possible illustration of the business data reported by daily fitness (application):

table 3.

For example, when daily fitness (application) determines that the calorie consumed by the user is greater than 3500, the value of the calorie consumed by the user and the corresponding time are reported to an application manager (service data center).

Further, the data interaction center obtains a service data set based on the received service data reported by each application. Since the data interaction center is also an application, the data service center can also add the service data output by the data interaction center to the service data set.

For example, the wechat (data interaction center) adds the received file as service data to the service data set.

As shown in table 4, which is a possible illustration of a service data set obtained by a data interaction center.

Table 4.

It should be noted that, depending on the space, only part of the service data of one user is listed in table 4. The obtained corresponding service data sets are also different for different users.

Therefore, the data interaction center can obtain the service data set after receiving the service data reported by each application, so that the data in the service data set can be forwarded to other applications in the subsequent steps, and the data sharing among the applications is realized.

S32, the data interaction center determines a target application corresponding to the business data based on the incidence relation between the business data and the application.

Specifically, first, the data interaction center obtains an association relationship between pre-established service data and an application.

Wherein, the association relationship comprises the association relationship between each application and various service data. The same service data can be data reported by different applications, the same service data can be associated with a plurality of applications, and the same application can also be associated with a plurality of service data. The association relationship may be established only between the service data and the target application, further, the association relationship may also be established between the application and the target application through the service data, and of course, the association relationship may not be established between the application and the target application.

For example, the wechat establishes an association relationship between the walking step number (service data) and the takeaway (target application), wherein the walking step number may be the walking step number reported by the map (application) or the walking step number output by the wechat (application).

And then, the data interaction center determines the target application corresponding to the service data based on the acquired incidence relation.

Therefore, sharable service data reported by each application can be associated with each target application, so that the target application corresponding to each service data is determined, the service data can be forwarded to the target application in the subsequent steps, and the interaction and information sharing of the data can be realized.

And S33, the data interaction center sends the acquired service data to the target application.

Specifically, the data interaction center may directly send the acquired service data to the target application, and may also send the acquired service data to the target application by using, but not limited to, the following several methods:

the first mode is as follows: and according to the incidence relation between the service data and the application, when the service data is determined to reach the interaction condition for interacting with the target application, the service data is sent to the target application.

The incidence relation also comprises interaction conditions which should be met by the associated business data when the application interacts with each application.

The second way is: and according to the incidence relation between the business data and the application, when determining that all the business data associated with the target application meet the interaction condition, sending the plurality of business data associated with the target application to the target application.

Therefore, when each service data is determined to meet the interaction condition, each associated service data is sent to the corresponding target application, the coupling association is established between each service data and each target application, and the service data is screened and then forwarded, so that the consumption of network resources is reduced, and the accuracy of forwarding the service data is improved.

The interaction condition can be a condition set by logical relations such as higher, lower, equal and containing, can be set by default of a system, can be customized privately by user definition, and can be set automatically according to historical operation of a user.

Optionally, the interaction condition is: the specified parameters contained in the service data are higher than, lower than or equal to a preset threshold, wherein the data types of the specified parameters are quantity values. The preset threshold value may be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when it is determined that the temperature (specified parameter) included in the weather data (traffic data) is higher than 30 °, the weather data is forwarded to the air-conditioning control application (target application).

Optionally, the interaction condition is: the service data includes specified parameters.

For example, when it is determined that a visitor (service data) includes a visitor (specified parameter) characterizing the arrival of the visitor, the visitor data is transmitted to the takeaway application (target application).

Optionally, the interaction condition is: the service data includes user-defined information.

For example, when it is determined that joker (user-defined) is included in the guest data (service data), the guest data is transmitted to the coffee shop application (target application).

In the embodiment of the present invention, only the above conditions are taken as examples for explanation, and in actual application, the interaction conditions may also be set according to an actual application scenario, which is not described herein again.

Therefore, the data interaction center can send the service data to the target application when the service data meet the interaction condition corresponding to the target application, and data interaction between the data interaction center and the target application is realized.

And S34, executing the operation of business data matching by the target application according to the matching rule between the business data and the operation.

Specifically, after the target application analyzes the received service data according to the data format, the operation of matching the service data may be performed in, but not limited to, the following two manners:

the first mode is as follows: and acquiring the operation corresponding to the service data according to the matching rule between the service data and the operation, and executing the corresponding operation when the service data is determined to reach the preset condition for executing the operation.

The second way is: and acquiring operation corresponding to the service data according to the matching rule, and executing corresponding operation when determining that the plurality of service data associated with the operation respectively meet preset conditions.

The matching rules comprise corresponding relations between each operation and various service data and preset conditions which should be met by the associated service data when each operation is executed, and can be set by default of a system, customized by user definition and automatically set according to historical operations of the user.

Optionally, the matching rules of each target application may be different, and the matching rules corresponding to different users of the same target application may also be different.

The preset conditions can be set by default of the system, can be customized by users, and can be automatically set according to the historical operation of the users. The preset conditions are typically set by logical relationships above, below, equal to, and inclusive.

Optionally, the preset conditions are: the specified parameters contained in the service data are higher than, lower than or equal to a preset threshold, wherein the data types of the specified parameters are quantity values. The preset threshold value may be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when it is determined that the weather data (traffic data) includes a temperature (specified parameter) higher than 30 °, the air conditioning control application (target application) starts the temperature adjustment operation.

Optionally, the preset conditions are: the service data includes specified parameters.

For example, when it is determined that a visitor (service data) includes a visitor (specified parameter) indicating that the visitor arrives, the takeout application (target application) recommends a takeout menu to the user.

Optionally, the preset conditions are: the service data includes user-defined information.

For example, when determining that prince (user-defined) is contained in the guest data (service data), the coffee shop application (target application) recommends cappuccino to the user.

In the embodiment of the present invention, only the above conditions are taken as examples for explanation, and in practical application, the preset conditions may also be set according to a practical application scenario, which is not described herein again.

The operation executed by the target application can be set by default of the system, can be customized privately by user definition, and can be automatically set according to the historical operation of the user. Further, the operation performed by the target application may be a single step operation, such as music playing; or for a set of consecutive operations, e.g., playing music and opening an e-book; the recommending operation can also be executed based on a user instruction which is input by the user through the input module and represents confirmation after the recommending operation is presented to the user, for example, three-cup latte is recommended to the user, and when the confirming instruction input by the user is determined to be received, an order for purchasing the three-cup latte is submitted.

For example, the ring time of the alarm is user-defined as 1 minute.

As another example, the handset is muted for a fixed time.

The first way of performing the above-described operation is further detailed below by way of a number of examples:

for example, when a music application (target application) determines that the business data contains business parameters representing the motion of the user based on the matching rule between the business data and the operation, the music is played.

For another example, when a music application (target application) determines that a service parameter indicating the arrival of a guest is included in service data based on a matching rule between the service data and an operation, the music application stops playing music.

For another example, the cafe application (target application) determines that a visitor is a and purchases liquor for visitor a and that another visitor is B and purchases rose tea for visitor B according to the matching rules between the service data and the operation and the service parameters included in the service data.

For another example, when the wechat (data interaction center) determines that a file (service data) is received, the corresponding target application is determined to be the network disk based on the matching rule between the service data and the target application, and the network disk forwards the file to the network disk, and stores the received file based on the matching rule between the service data and the operation.

As shown in table 5, it is a possible illustration of the corresponding operation when the specified parameter included in the service data is higher than the preset threshold.

Table 5.

For example, take out (target application) determines that the user has consumed 3600 calories (business data) above 3000 (preset threshold), recommending a menu of meat dishes to the user.

As shown in table 6, it is a possible illustration of the corresponding operation when the specified parameter included in the service data is equal to the preset threshold.

Table 6.

For example, a coffee shop (target application) determines that the visitor is 1 person based on the number of visitors included in the service data, and recommends a cup of latte to be purchased to the user.

As shown in table 7, it is a possible illustration of the corresponding operation when the specified parameters are included in the service data.

Table 7.

For example, the alarm (target application) determines that there is rain at 7 points according to the time contained in the weather service data and the corresponding specific weather, and the alarm time is advanced by 20 minutes.

Therefore, the one-to-one corresponding input and output mapping relation can be established between the service data and the operation, the corresponding operation is triggered and executed through the service data, and the complex operations that a user needs to manually switch applications and input data are avoided.

The second way of performing the above operation is illustrated below by way of a number of examples:

for example, music (target application) determines that the received first business data contains a specified parameter for representing that the user runs according to the matching rule, and the received second business data contains music for representing that the running type is played when a fitness partner visits.

For example, the takeaway (target application) preset matching rules as: and when the number of visitors is determined to be more than 0 based on the business data and the calorie consumed by the user is determined to be more than 3500, the operation of recommending the coffee and meat menu is executed. The takeout (target application) determines the number of visitors to be 3>0 based on the received service data A forwarded by the data interaction center, determines the calories consumed by the user to be 4000>3500 based on the received service data B forwarded by the data interaction center, and recommends the user to purchase 3 latte and meat menu.

Thus, the operation to be performed can be determined based on one service data, or can be determined by a plurality of service data in common. When the target application determines the operation through the plurality of service data, the target application may execute the corresponding operation according to the plurality of service data forwarded by the data interaction center received simultaneously and after determining that each service data satisfies the corresponding preset, or may successively receive the plurality of service data forwarded by the data interaction center until the corresponding preset condition is satisfied, and then trigger the execution of the corresponding operation.

Further, the target application returns the business data generated when the operation is executed to the data interaction center. Of course, the target application may also report any other service data, and the service data reported by the target application is not limited herein.

For example, when the target application plays music, the track of the currently played music is reported to the WeChat.

For another example, the take-away application reports the expected time of delivery of the take-away to the Wechat in real time after determining that the user submitted the take-away order.

For example, referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an application interface is shown, wherein a cafe recommends to purchase 3 cups of latte for a user, and referring to fig. 6a, a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an application interface is shown, wherein when the cafe determines that a confirmation instruction from the user is received, the estimated time of arrival is displayed as 10 minutes. Namely, the coffee shop recommends 3 cups of latte to be purchased to the user, submits a coffee order after confirming that a purchase order of the user is received, and reports the delivery time of coffee to the WeChat in real time.

Further, after the data interaction center determines the target application of the service data, the data interaction center may also determine, based on the trigger condition included in the association relationship, that the service data satisfies the corresponding trigger condition, and directly trigger the target application when the service data is not sent to the target application.

When the target application is triggered, the following modes can be adopted, but not limited to:

the first mode is as follows: and according to the incidence relation, triggering the target application when the business data reaches the triggering condition for triggering the target application.

The incidence relation also comprises a triggering condition which should be met by the associated service data when each application is triggered.

The second way is: and triggering the target application when determining that the plurality of service data associated with the target application respectively meet triggering conditions according to the association relation.

The trigger condition is a condition set by logical relations such as higher than, lower than, equal to and including, can be set by default of a system, can be customized privately by user definition, and can be set automatically according to historical operation of a user.

Optionally, the triggering condition is: the specified parameters contained in the service data are higher than, lower than or equal to a preset threshold, wherein the data types of the specified parameters are quantity values. The preset threshold value may be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when it is determined that the weather data (traffic data) includes a temperature (specified parameter) higher than 30 °, the air conditioning control application (target application) is triggered to start the temperature adjustment operation.

Optionally, the triggering condition is: the service data includes specified parameters.

For example, when it is determined that a visitor (service data) includes a visitor (specified parameter) indicating that the visitor comes, the takeout application (target application) is triggered to recommend a takeout menu to the user.

Optionally, the triggering condition is: the service data includes user-defined information.

For example, when it is determined that prince (user-defined) is contained in the guest data (service data), a coffee shop application (target application) is triggered to recommend cappuccino to the user.

In the embodiment of the present invention, only the above conditions are taken as examples for explanation, and in practical applications, other arbitrary conditions may also be adopted as the trigger conditions, and are not described herein again.

Therefore, the service data is not sent to the target application, and only the trigger instruction is sent to the target application to trigger the target application to execute the trigger operation.

In the embodiment of the application, based on the incidence relation between the service data and the target application, the service data reported by the current application according to the set data format is forwarded to the corresponding target application through the data interaction center, and the target application is triggered to analyze the service data according to the data format and then execute the operation of matching the service data. Because the input and output data formats of the service data are the same, each application can circulate the service data through the data interaction center according to the uniform data format.

For example, referring to FIG. 6b, an application interaction diagram is shown. Body-building APP with the motion data sharing, food and beverage APP recommend based on the motion data adjustment food and beverage of sharing, recommend high protein low carbon water food and beverage, food and beverage APP with user's food and beverage place sharing, then the APP of taking a car according to user's food and beverage place, the vehicle of transferring can be with trip data (for example destination) sharing after that, other APPs are served after that.

Obviously, the scheme provided by the application is quite different from the mode that each application plays a single bucket in the prior art, and the data really becomes a data stream.

In addition, optionally, if multiple applications all provide the same type of service data (e.g., sports data), different applications may be scored according to actual application access states and application evaluations. Therefore, a trust mechanism is established to improve the sharing quality of the application outputting the service data.

Furthermore, the matching operation of the associated applications triggered by the shared service data through user-defined or default setting is realized, and when the user uses each application, data input and switching do not need to be frequently performed among the applications, so that the data processing efficiency is improved, and the operation steps are simplified.

The application interaction method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be integrated in applications such as WeChat and the like, and can also be deployed in terminal equipment as an independent terminal equipment function.
