For example, some operations/steps may be decomposed, and some operations/steps may be combined or partially combined, so that the actual execution sequence may be changed according to the actual situation.

It should also be noted that: reference to "a plurality" in this application means two or more. "and/or" describe the association relationship of the associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., A and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

The existing traffic control mode includes that the APP duration is controlled through a teenager mode of an application program, the content is watched, and the wireless router controls to disconnect a network according to a preset internet access strategy, and the existing traffic control mode has certain disadvantages. For example, the mode of controlling the internet access process through the adolescent mode of the application program has the following defects:

(1) The teenager mode becomes the standard configuration of each application program, each application program needs to be configured independently and can only be controlled independently, most of the application programs can be skipped over during initial installation, the teenager mode is similar to a dummy after being spitted by parents, the teenager mode is only a psychological comfort mode and has no great effect actually;

(2) The mode that each application program independently counts the internet surfing time cannot realize the control of the overall internet surfing time of the user to be controlled;

(3) Not all application programs are provided with a teenager mode, but the existing application programs provided with the teenager mode are mainly provided with game application programs, video application programs and the like, in fact, network media are various, and not only games and videos, but also web browsing, network chatting, network movies, televisions and the like are included, and the teenager mode must be set for the application programs related to the contents to effectively prevent enthrallment.

The wireless router controls the internet access control mode for disconnecting the network according to the preset internet access strategy, and has the following defects:

(1) When the user to be controlled does not accord with the internet surfing condition, the network is directly disconnected, obviously, the subsequent user needs to be reconnected with the network at least once, and the mode increases the complexity of the user in surfing the internet and reduces the user experience;

(2) The existing internet access strategy completely limits a user to be controlled (such as teenagers) to access the internet according to a fixed time interval to achieve the aim of preventing enthusiasm, and parents cannot flexibly and autonomously set the internet access strategy.

In order to solve at least the above problems in the prior art, embodiments of the present application respectively propose an application control method, an application control apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium, and will be described in detail below with respect to these embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of an application program according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, where the control method of the application program provided in this embodiment includes steps S100 to S300, and reference is made to the following detailed description:

step S100: and recording a corresponding trigger time point based on the user operation of triggering the application program in the running terminal equipment, and identifying the SIM card set in the terminal equipment.

In this embodiment, the application consumes data traffic during running, for example, video-type applications such as trembling, fast-hand, love art video, tencent video, etc., web-type applications such as UC browser, baidu browser or Google browser, etc., game-type applications such as hero alliance, royal, etc., which are not limited herein.

In this embodiment, the user operation for triggering the running of the application program in the terminal device may be triggered by touching or pressing a display icon of the corresponding application program.

A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is an IC card held by a Mobile Subscriber of a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) System, and is called a Subscriber Identity card. The GSM system identifies the GSM subscriber by means of a SIM card. The same SIM card can be used on different mobile terminals. The GSM terminal can be accessed to the network only after the SIM card is inserted. The SIM card is a key for the GSM terminal to connect to the GSM network, and once the SIM card is removed from the mobile terminal, the terminal cannot enjoy various services provided by the network operator except for emergency calls. In this embodiment, the SIM card is one of a standard card, a Micro SIM card or a Nano SIM card.

The process of identifying the SIM card arranged in the terminal equipment is to read whether a flow control identifier is stored in the SIM card, wherein the flow control identifier is used for marking flow control on the terminal equipment provided with the SIM card. Illustratively, a flow management and control identifier is written in an SIM card corresponding to a user to be managed and controlled in advance, so that when a user operation triggering an application program in a terminal device to be run is received, the flow management and control identifier carried by the SIM card is identified. In this embodiment, if the terminal device has a plurality of SIM cards, each SIM card is identified.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of step S100 in an exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 1, and as shown in fig. 2, step S100 may include steps S110 to S120, which are described in detail as follows:

step S110: and receiving an authentication request sent by the terminal equipment when the application program is triggered to run.

In this embodiment, the terminal device sends an authentication request to the server at the trigger time point, where the authentication request is used to request identification of the SIM card set in the terminal device.

Step S120: and identifying the SIM card set in the terminal equipment based on the authentication request.

In this embodiment, by sending the authentication request when the application is triggered to operate, so that the server identifies the SIM card, the server is prevented from being unable to accurately know that the application is triggered to operate, and further unable to identify the SIM card, and accuracy of flow control of the user to be controlled is improved.

Step S200: and if the SIM card is identified to carry the flow control identification, judging whether the trigger time point is in the flow control time period corresponding to the SIM card.

In this embodiment, the SIM card carrying the traffic control identifier indicates that data traffic control needs to be performed on the terminal device to which the SIM card belongs, the user holding the terminal device is a user to be controlled, the user to be controlled may refer to a user whose internet surfing time needs to be managed or controlled, for example, a user of a middle and primary school student whose internet surfing time needs to be controlled by a parent, and the traffic control period may refer to a time during which the user to be controlled needs to be restricted from surfing the internet, for example, at school time.

In this embodiment, the trigger time point is matched with a flow control time period corresponding to the SIM card carrying the flow control identifier, and if the trigger time point is within the flow control time period, it is determined to perform flow control on the terminal device, otherwise, a user operation for triggering an application program in the terminal device is triggered.

Exemplarily, in this embodiment, configuration information is set in advance for the SIM card carrying the traffic control identifier, where the configuration information includes a traffic control period, and is used to indicate that, in the traffic control period, the terminal device provided with the SIM card carrying the traffic control identifier is not allowed to use data traffic. The setting of the flow control period may be flexibly set according to a specific application scenario, for example, if the user to be controlled is a teenager, considering that the idle time of the teenager from monday to friday is mainly concentrated after school, and the teenager needs to complete the job arranged by the teacher within the set period after school, the period lasting from the school time point to the preset period may be set as the flow control period; considering that the number of idle time of teenagers on weekends is large, a time period with a large span can be set as a flow control period of each day, from ten am to six pm of each day, or different sub-flow control periods can be set for different dates. It should be noted that the above description of the traffic regulation period is only exemplary and does not have any limiting meaning. For example, the traffic control period may be set not only in a cycle of days, but also in time units of weeks, months, and the like.

Step S300: if the judgment result is yes, the control application program does not respond to the user operation.

In this embodiment, if the trigger time point is located within the control time period, it is determined that traffic control needs to be performed on the terminal device, because the application in this embodiment consumes data traffic when running, and at this time, if a user operation that triggers running of the application in the terminal device is triggered in response, the data traffic is inevitably consumed, and therefore, in this case, the embodiment prevents consumption of the data traffic by controlling the application not to respond to the user operation, and further controls the internet access process of the user to be controlled.

According to the embodiment, when the trigger time point is within the flow control time period corresponding to the SIM card, the corresponding application program is directly controlled not to respond to the operation, instead of directly cutting off the Internet, so that the subsequent complex operation of re-networking can be effectively avoided, and the complexity of Internet access control is reduced.

In a specific application scenario, a plurality of SIM cards are arranged in the terminal equipment, when a user triggers an application program in the terminal equipment, the corresponding trigger time point is recorded by the scheme, the SIM cards arranged in the terminal equipment are identified, if at least one SIM card carries a flow control identifier, whether the trigger time point is in a flow control time period corresponding to the SIM card is judged, and if the trigger time point is in the flow control time period corresponding to the SIM card, the application program is controlled not to respond to the user operation. Obviously, as long as one of the SIM cards of the terminal device carries the traffic control identifier, the present solution performs traffic control on the user corresponding to the terminal device according to the traffic control period carrying the traffic control identifier, and at this time, even if the terminal device uses the quantity and the traffic in the SIM card not carrying the traffic control identifier, the effect of data traffic control can still be played. Therefore, in the embodiment, the traffic control policy is combined with the operating conditions of the application program, so that the internet surfing process of the user to be controlled can be controlled more comprehensively.

In this embodiment, a management and control flow for running an application program by a user is added at a telecommunication network operator, and the running condition of the application program is combined with a data traffic management and control process, so that internet surfing management and control of a user to be managed and controlled are realized, a green and healthy internet surfing environment is provided for the user to be managed and controlled, and the user to be managed and controlled is prevented from being excessively enthusiastic to the internet.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of an exemplary control method of an application program based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2, this method further includes steps S400-S500 based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and the following details are introduced:

step S400: and if the trigger time point is not in the flow control period corresponding to the SIM card, acquiring the accumulated use data flow of the SIM card set in the terminal equipment in a preset time period.

In this embodiment, the internet access process of the user to be controlled is further controlled from the total amount of data traffic, before that, a total amount of traffic control set in a preset time period for the user to be controlled needs to be set, where the total amount of traffic control is used to represent the total amount of data traffic that can be used by the user to be controlled in the preset time period. In this embodiment, the setting of the total traffic control amount may be flexibly set according to an actual application scenario, and is not specifically limited herein. For example, in an epidemic situation, when a teenager needs to access a lesson, the total traffic usage amount in a preset time period can be set to be larger, so as to meet the data traffic demand required by the teenager to access the lesson. In the present embodiment, the setting of the preset time period is not limited, and the preset time period may be one day, one week, one month, or the like, for example.

In this embodiment, if the trigger time point is not within the traffic control period corresponding to the SIM card, the terminal device that sets the SIM card with the traffic control identifier obtains the cumulative data traffic of use within a preset time period, in this embodiment, the cumulative data traffic of use of the SIM card set in the terminal device within the preset time period may be obtained through an AAA server (Authentication, authorization, accounting, authentication, authorization, and Accounting server), the AAA server is a server program capable of processing a user access request, and provides Authentication Authorization and Accounting services, and the Accounting services include recording the data traffic use condition of the SIM card. It should be reminded that, in this embodiment, the accumulated usage data traffic in the preset time period and the preset traffic control total amount in the preset time period should be the same.

Step S500: and if the accumulated use data flow exceeds the total flow control amount corresponding to the SIM card in a preset time period, controlling the application program not to respond to the user operation.

In this embodiment, if the cumulative usage data traffic exceeds the traffic control total amount in the preset time period corresponding to the SIM card, which indicates that the data traffic usage of the user to be controlled exceeds the standard, the user still cannot use the data traffic to run the application program, so that the application program is controlled not to respond to the user operation.

In this embodiment, the data traffic usage of the user to be managed is doubly limited, and first, it is determined whether a trigger time point for triggering the running of the application program is within a management and control time period, if so, the application program is directly controlled not to respond to the user operation, if not, the cumulative usage data traffic of the SIM card set in the terminal device within the preset time period is further obtained, and if the cumulative usage data traffic exceeds a traffic management and control total amount corresponding to the SIM card within the preset time period, the application program is controlled not to respond to the user operation. If the traffic flow does not exceed the traffic flow control time, the application program is not controlled, under the condition, the application program directly responds to the user operation and operates the corresponding application program, the situation that the user uses the data traffic flow in a non-traffic flow control period is avoided, and the situation that the user is indulged in a network is avoided, and the control mode is more comprehensive and effective.

In a specific application scene, identifying an SIM card set in terminal equipment based on user operation for triggering an application program in the terminal equipment to run, wherein the application program consumes data traffic during running, and if the SIM card is identified to carry a traffic control identifier, acquiring the accumulated use data traffic of the SIM card set in the terminal equipment within a preset time period; and if the accumulated usage data flow exceeds the flow control total amount corresponding to the SIM card in the preset time period, controlling the application program not to respond to the user operation. The flow control mode directly controls the flow usage of the user to be controlled, and is simple and clear.

In another specific application scenario, based on user operation of triggering an application program in a terminal device to run, recording a corresponding trigger time point, identifying an SIM card set in the terminal device, wherein the application program consumes data traffic during running, and if the SIM card is identified to carry a traffic control identifier, acquiring accumulated used data traffic of the SIM card set in the terminal device within a preset time period; if the accumulated usage data flow exceeds the flow control total amount of the SIM card in the preset time period, controlling the application program not to respond to the user operation, and if the accumulated usage data flow does not exceed the flow control total amount of the SIM card in the preset time period, judging whether the trigger time point is in the flow control time period corresponding to the SIM card; if the judgment result is yes, the application program is controlled not to respond to the user operation, if the judgment result is no, the application program is not controlled, under the condition, the application program directly responds to the user operation and operates the corresponding application program, the situation that the user uses the data traffic in a non-traffic control period can be prevented, and the user is further addicted to the network, and the control method is more comprehensive and effective.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of an exemplary control method of an application program according to the embodiment shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, this method is based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and further includes steps S10 to S30 before step S100, which are described in detail as follows:

step S10: an account creation request is received.

In this embodiment, the account creation request is a request for transacting a SIM card, and may be initiated by a network operator portal on demand by the customer.

In this embodiment, the account creation request includes a traffic control identifier.

Step S20: and opening an account for the blank number card according to the account creation request to obtain an SIM card, and writing the flow control identification into the SIM card to obtain the SIM card carrying the flow control identification.

In this embodiment, the account creation request further includes configuration data required for account opening processing, and in the process of opening an account for a blank number card, the configuration data is written into the blank number card and activated, so that the SIM card can be obtained, and in this embodiment, the configuration data includes but is not limited to: an International Mobile Subscriber identity Number (IMSI) allocated to the SIM card, a Personal Identification Number (PIN) of the SIM card, an unlock Key (PUK) of the PIN, a short message center Number, a Mobile phone Number of the user, network authentication data, network configuration parameter data, and the like.

Illustratively, a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) server of a telecom operator may be used to open an account for a blank card, where Customer Relationship Management refers to a process in which an enterprise coordinates sales, marketing, and service interactions between the enterprise and a Customer by using a corresponding information technology and an internet technology to improve core competitiveness, so as to improve a Management manner of the enterprise and provide innovative and personalized Customer interactions and services to the Customer. The ultimate goal is to attract new customers, retain old customers, and turn existing customers into faithful customers, increasing the market.

In this embodiment, for different SIM cards, the traffic control identifiers may be the same or different in different application scenarios, and are not specifically limited herein. The SIM card is a kind of smart card, contains the singlechip, has integrated treater and memory in an organic whole, and this embodiment with flow management and control sign write in the memory of SIM card can.

In this embodiment, on one hand, it is considered that most users to be managed are minors, and the minors cannot handle the SIM card independently, and on the other hand, if the SIM card carrying the traffic control identifier is handled under the name of the user to be managed, the user to be managed can freely set traffic control configuration information of the SIM card to some extent, for example, a traffic control period or a traffic control total amount, which may not be comprehensive enough, so that in this embodiment, the user to be managed can more comprehensively control the internet access process of the user to be managed by handling the service of the primary card and the secondary card and writing the traffic control identifier into the secondary card by handling the service of the primary card and the secondary card, which is described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart of step S20 in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 in an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 5, step S20 may include steps S21 to S22, which are described in detail as follows:

step S21: and performing account opening processing on the SIM card according to the auxiliary card establishing request to obtain the auxiliary SIM card.

In this embodiment, the secondary card creation request includes secondary card configuration information, where the secondary card configuration information at least includes primary card information specified by the secondary card requested to be created, and the primary card information includes primary card number information, primary card network package information, and the like, so as to facilitate subsequent writing of the primary card information into the created secondary SIM card, establish association between the primary card and the secondary card, and implement account opening processing of the secondary SIM card. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the secondary card or the secondary SIM card is affiliated to the account of the primary SIM card, one primary SIM card can handle multiple secondary cards, all the secondary cards use network packages under the account of the primary SIM card, for example, free call duration, data traffic packages, and the like, and for example, a user can handle a converged package, a primary and secondary card package, a group package, and the like.

Step S22: and writing the flow control identification into the auxiliary SIM card to obtain the SIM card carrying the flow control identification.

In this embodiment, the user corresponding to the secondary SIM card is the user to be managed, so that the traffic management and control identifier is written into the secondary SIM card, so as to facilitate the terminal device that sets the secondary SIM card or the application program in the terminal device to read, and further perform traffic management and control on the quantity of the user to be managed and controlled.

Illustratively, the user corresponding to the secondary SIM card is a teenager, and the user corresponding to the primary SIM card to which the secondary SIM card belongs is a guardian of the teenager.

In this embodiment, an auxiliary SIM card affiliated to a main card is created for a user to be controlled, so as to avoid the user to be controlled from changing the flow control configuration information of the SIM card by oneself, thereby reducing the control effort.

Step S30: and receiving and storing the flow control configuration information set by the SIM card carrying the flow control identification.

In this embodiment, traffic control configuration information needs to be set for the SIM card carrying the traffic control identifier, so as to control a data traffic usage process of the terminal device corresponding to the SIM card carrying the traffic control identifier, where the traffic control configuration information includes a traffic control time period and/or a total traffic control amount in a set time period. It should be noted that the traffic control configuration information may also be any other parameter for performing data traffic control on the user to be controlled, which is not specifically limited herein, for example, the non-traffic control period is divided into a plurality of sub-periods, and the data traffic usage amount of each sub-period is limited, so as to prevent the user to be controlled from performing some network activities with high traffic consumption, such as playing games, watching videos, and the like, in the non-traffic control period.

For example, a user may set, in a configuration interface of an operator portal device, traffic control configuration information for an SIM card carrying a traffic control identifier, and subsequent operator portal devices send the traffic control configuration information to the CRM server, so that the CRM server stores the traffic control configuration information, and synchronizes the traffic control configuration information to the charging server, so that the charging server counts traffic usage during a process in which the user uses data traffic, and controls usage of the data traffic.

For example, in order to prevent a user to be controlled from changing or canceling flow control configuration information of an SIM card under the name of the user to be controlled by himself or herself and further reduce flow control strength of the user to be controlled, an auxiliary SIM card affiliated to a main SIM card may be created for the user to be controlled, and flow control configuration information set for the auxiliary SIM card and sent by an account of the main SIM card corresponding to the auxiliary SIM card may be received and stored.

Illustratively, the traffic usage of the secondary SIM card is periodically sent to the account corresponding to the primary SIM card, and in this way, the account corresponding to the primary SIM card can timely know the usage of the data traffic of the user corresponding to the secondary SIM card, and then can autonomously determine whether to update the traffic management and control configuration information of the secondary SIM card, where the traffic usage includes, but is not limited to, a traffic usage duration and an accumulated data traffic usage within a preset time period.

For example, if the total times of refusing to respond to the operation of the application program in the terminal device within the preset time period exceeds a certain threshold, the account corresponding to the primary SIM card finds that the total amount of traffic control of the secondary SIM card in the traffic control configuration information within the preset time period is too small through knowing that the total amount of traffic control of the user to be controlled within the preset time period is too small, and the data traffic of the user to be controlled is controlled through the traffic control method provided in this embodiment, so that the user to be controlled cannot complete a learning task on learning software. In this case, the account corresponding to the primary SIM card may adaptively update the traffic control configuration information of the secondary SIM card, that is, the account corresponding to the primary SIM card may increase the total traffic control amount corresponding to the secondary SIM card in the preset time period.

Illustratively, the traffic usage includes the type of the application program in the terminal device that refuses to respond to the running application program and the total refusing times corresponding to the type of the application program, that is, the type of the application program in the terminal device that refuses to respond to the running application program and the total refusing times corresponding to the type of the application program are sent to the account corresponding to the main SIM card.
