In order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, the words "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish the same item or similar items having substantially the same function and effect. For example, the interface of the first target function and the interface of the second target function are for distinguishing different response interfaces, and the order of the different response interfaces is not limited. It will be appreciated by those of skill in the art that the words "first," "second," and the like do not limit the amount and order of execution, and that the words "first," "second," and the like do not necessarily differ.

In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "such as" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete fashion.

In the present application, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "and/or", describes an association relationship of an association object, and indicates that there may be three relationships, for example, a and/or B, and may indicate: a alone, a and B together, and B alone, wherein a, B may be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the context-dependent object is an "or" relationship. "at least one of" or the like means any combination of these items, including any combination of single item(s) or plural items(s). For example, at least one (one) of a, b, or c may represent: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a, b and c, wherein a, b, c may be single or plural.

When the user uses the application program a installed in the terminal device, the user needs to find and click the icon of the application program a in the controls corresponding to the multiple application programs of the terminal device, so that the terminal device displays the interface of the application program a. However, as the number of applications installed in the terminal device increases, a user needs to spend a lot of time to find a desired icon of the application among icons corresponding to a plurality of applications, which reduces user experience.

In one possible implementation, the terminal device may recommend the top 4 applications in table 1 to the user based on the number of uses of the applications. However, the user usually needs to use the map application when going to work and off work, but the map application cannot be recommended to the user by using the method, so that the accuracy of the application recommended by the method is low, and the recommended application may not conform to the intention of the user, so that the experience of the user is low.

Based on this, the embodiment of the application program recommendation method is provided, the terminal device may determine, in a first correspondence relationship including time fence information, geofence information and weight values of one or more application programs, a target application program with a weight value that satisfies a preset condition, and display an interface for recommending the target application program, where the weight value of the application program is related to a first duty ratio and a second duty ratio. The terminal equipment can recommend the application program conforming to the user intention to the user, and the accuracy of application recommendation is improved, so that the user experience is improved.

The software system of the terminal device 100 may employ a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture, etc. In this embodiment, taking an Android system with a layered architecture as an example, a software structure of the terminal device 100 is illustrated.

Fig. 3 is a software structural block diagram of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with distinct roles and branches. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into five layers, from top to bottom, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Zhuoyun row (Android run) and system libraries, a hardware abstraction layer, and a kernel layer, respectively.

The application layer may include a series of application packages. As shown in fig. 3, the application package may include telephone, mailbox, calendar, camera, and like applications.

The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and programming framework for application layer applications. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions.

As shown in FIG. 3, the application framework layer may include a window manager, an activity manager, a location manager, a package manager, a notification manager, a resource manager, a telephony manager, a view system, a frame rate decision manager, and the like.

A window manager (window manager service, WMS) is used to manage the window program. The window manager can acquire the size of the display screen, judge whether a status bar exists, lock the screen, intercept the screen and the like.

The activity manager is used for managing the life cycle of each application program and the navigation rollback function. And the main thread creation of the Android is responsible for maintaining the life cycle of each application program.

The location manager is used to provide location services for applications including querying for a last known location, registering and deregistering location updates from some periodicity, etc.

The packet manager is used for program management within the system, for example: application installation, uninstallation, and upgrades, etc.

The notification manager allows the application to display notification information in a status bar, can be used to communicate notification type messages, can automatically disappear after a short dwell, and does not require user interaction. Such as notification manager is used to inform that the download is complete, message alerts, etc. The notification manager may also be a notification in the form of a chart or scroll bar text that appears on the system top status bar, such as a notification of a background running application, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is prompted in a status bar, a prompt tone is emitted, the terminal equipment vibrates, and an indicator light blinks.

The resource manager provides various resources for the application program, such as localization strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and the like.

The telephony manager is for managing mobile device functions, comprising: mobile phone call state, obtaining telephone information (equipment, sim card, network information), monitoring telephone state and calling telephone dialer to make telephone call

The view system includes visual controls, such as controls to display text, controls to display pictures, and the like. The view system may be used to build applications. The display interface may be composed of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text message notification icon may include a view displaying text and a view displaying a picture.

The frame rate decision manager is used for determining the screen refreshing frame rate of the terminal equipment and selecting a switching mode of the screen refreshing frame rate.

Android runtimes include core libraries and virtual machines. Android run time is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

The core library consists of two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in virtual machines. The virtual machine executes java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used for executing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, garbage collection and the like. A display composition process (e.g., surface flinger) also runs in the virtual machine. The display composition process is used to control the composition of the image.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. For example: an image drawing module, an image rendering module, an image synthesizing module, a function library, a media library and the like.

The image drawing module is used for drawing two-dimensional or three-dimensional images. The image rendering module is used for rendering two-dimensional or three-dimensional images. The image synthesis module is used for synthesizing two-dimensional or three-dimensional images.

In a possible implementation manner, the application draws the image through the image drawing module, then the application renders the drawn image through the image rendering module, and then the application sends the rendered image to a cache queue of the display synthesis process. Every time Vsync arrives, a display composition process (e.g., surface flinger) sequentially acquires a frame of image to be composed from the buffer queue, and then performs image composition by the image composition module.

The function library provides macros, type definitions, string operation functions, mathematical calculation functions, input/output functions, and the like used in the C language

Media libraries support a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, still image files, and the like. The media library may support a variety of audio video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

The hardware abstraction layer may include a plurality of library modules, which may be, for example, a hardware configuration module (HWC), a camera library module, and the like. The Android system can load a corresponding library module for the equipment hardware, so that the purpose of accessing the equipment hardware by an application program framework layer is achieved. The device hardware may include, for example, an LCD screen, a camera, etc. in an electronic device.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer is used for driving the hardware so that the hardware works. The inner core layer at least comprises LCD/LED drive, display drive, audio drive, camera drive, sensor drive, etc.

The hardware may be an audio device, a bluetooth device, a camera device, a sensor device, etc.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of an application recommendation method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the application recommendation method includes the steps of:

s401, at a first moment, the terminal equipment acquires first time information of the terminal equipment and first position information of the terminal equipment.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first time may be any time when the terminal device performs acquisition of the own time information and the location information. The first time information corresponds to a first time, and may be a specific time of day. The first location information may include a cell identifier of a cell in which the terminal device is located at the first time, and/or a service set identifier of a wireless network to which the terminal device is connected at the first time, and/or location coordinate information of the terminal device, etc.

The terminal device determines a cell in which the terminal device is located according to a geographic position of the terminal device at a first moment, obtains a cell identifier in the first location information, or determines a service set identifier of a wireless network in the first location information according to a wireless network connected with the terminal device, or obtains location coordinate information of the terminal device based on a positioning technology, and the like.

S402, the terminal equipment determines a target application program in the first corresponding relation according to the first time information and the first position information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first correspondence is obtained before a first time, where the first correspondence includes information of a first time fence, information of the first time fence, and a weight value of one or more application programs, the target application program is an application program in which the weight value in the one or more application programs meets a preset condition, the weight value of the target application program is related to a first duty ratio and a second duty ratio, the first duty ratio is a duty ratio of a first number of days in a total number of days, the first number of days is a number of days when the terminal device enters the first time fence, the total number of days is a total number of days when the terminal device enters the first time fence, the second duty ratio is a duty ratio of the first number of times in a total number of times, the first number of times is a number of times when the terminal device enters the first time fence, and the total number of times when the terminal device enters the first time fence; the first time information is within a time period of the first time fence and the first location information is within a range covered by the first geofence. The range of first geofence coverage may include one or more cells, and/or one or more ranges of wireless network coverage.

For example, the first time fence and the first geo-fence may be pre-created by the terminal device. The first time fence may be one of a plurality of time fences created based on a plurality of time periods after dividing the day into a plurality of time periods, for example, the terminal device may divide the day into a plurality of time periods, create a corresponding time fence based on any one of the a time periods, and obtain a time fences, where the first time fence is one of the a time fences. The first geofence may be one of a plurality of geofences created based on a cell identity of a cell into which the terminal device enters and/or a service set identity of a wireless network to which the terminal device is connected. For example, the terminal device may create any cell identifier and/or a geofence corresponding to any service set identifier based on the cell identifiers of B cells into which the terminal device enters and/or the service set identifiers of C wireless networks to which the terminal device is connected, so as to obtain multiple geofences, where the first geofence is one of the multiple geofences.

The number of target application programs may relate to the number of application programs that the terminal device allows to recommend, or relate to the magnitude of a preset threshold corresponding to the weight value, and the number of target application programs is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It is understood that the first time corresponding to the first time information is within a period of the first time fence. The cell in which the terminal equipment corresponding to the first position information is located, or a wireless network to which the terminal equipment is connected, or the terminal equipment acquires the position coordinate information in which the terminal equipment is located based on a positioning technology and is in the coverage range of the first geofence.

It should be noted that, the terminal device may store a correspondence including a plurality of sub-correspondences, where any sub-correspondence includes information of a time fence, information of a geofence, and a weight value of one or more application programs, and the first correspondence is one sub-correspondence in the correspondences. When the terminal device determines the target application program in the first corresponding relation according to the first time information and the first position information, the terminal device can determine the first time fence according to the first time corresponding to the first time information, determine the first geofence according to the cell identifier of the cell in which the terminal device is located and/or the service set identifier of the wireless network connected with the terminal device, further determine the first corresponding relation according to the first time fence and the first geofence, determine the weight value of one or more application programs in the first corresponding relation, and determine the application program with the weight value meeting the preset condition as the target application program.

S403, the terminal equipment displays an interface of the recommended target application program.

For example, an icon of the target application may be included in the interface recommending the target application. When the terminal equipment displays the interface for recommending the target application program, the user can click on the icon of the target application program on the interface, and the terminal equipment receives the click operation and displays the interface of the target application program.

Based on the above, the terminal device may determine, at the first moment, according to the first time information and the first location information of the terminal device, a target application program in which the weight value in the first time fence corresponding to the first time information and the first geofence corresponding to the first location information meets a preset condition. Wherein the weight value of the target application is related to a first duty cycle and a second duty cycle, the first duty cycle is related to the number of days the target application is used when the terminal device enters the first time fence, and the second duty cycle is related to the number of times the target application is used when the terminal device enters the first time fence. Thus, the target application program determined by the terminal equipment better accords with the intention of the user, and the accuracy is higher. In addition, the terminal equipment can display an interface for recommending the target application program, so that the time for searching the target application program by a user is saved, and the user experience is improved.

On the basis of the corresponding embodiment of fig. 4, optionally, the determining, by the terminal device of S401, that the target application program for determining that the weight value meets the preset condition in the one or more application programs includes any one of the following possible implementations:

in one possible implementation, the terminal device may determine, among the one or more applications, the application with the largest weight value as the target application. Therefore, the target application program determined by the terminal equipment is the application program which is the most suitable for the user intention, and the accuracy of application program recommendation is further improved.

In one possible implementation, the terminal device may determine, among the one or more applications, an application with a weight value greater than a preset threshold as the target application. The preset threshold may be directly related to the number of applications installed in the terminal device, or directly related to the number of applications allowed to be recommended by the terminal device, and the embodiment of the present application is not specifically limited to the preset threshold.

In this way, the terminal device can determine the target application program of the application program which better accords with the user intention, and provides a plurality of possible choices for the user, so that the user can select the target application program according to the requirement.

In one possible implementation, the terminal device may rank one or more applications in order of the weight values from the top to the bottom, and determine the top N applications in the ranking as target applications. Where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and N is less than or equal to the number of one or more applications. For example, N may be preset in the terminal device for the user.

In one possible implementation, the terminal device may rank one or more applications in order of from the top to the bottom of the weight values, and determine M applications in the ranking that are top and have weight values greater than a preset threshold as the target application. Where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and M is less than or equal to the number of one or more applications. For example, M may be preset in the terminal device for the user.

In this way, the M target application programs with larger weight values are determined in the application programs with the weight values larger than the preset threshold value, so that the target application programs determined by the terminal equipment are more in line with the intention of the user, the accuracy of application program recommendation is further improved, and the user experience is improved.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may display an interface of the recommendation target application as shown in fig. 5 to 7 below.

In one possible implementation, when the terminal device recommends the target application program to the user, a first interface shown in fig. 5 may be displayed, and fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the first interface provided in the embodiment of the present application. The first interface comprises an icon of a target application program and an icon of a first application program, wherein the first application program is other application programs except the target application program. As shown in fig. 5, the target application may include a first target application and a second target application, the size of the icon 501 of the first target application and the size of the icon 502 of the second target application being larger than the icon size of the first application. In this way, the terminal device enlarges the icon size of the target application program, so that the user can quickly find the target application program in the first interface, the time for searching the icon of the target application program is saved, and the user experience is improved.

It can be understood that when the terminal device displays the icon of the target application program, the icon of the target application program can be different from the icons of other application programs in the modes of color, shake or the like, and certainly, the icon of the target application program can also be consistent with the sizes and/or colors of the icons of other application programs.

For example, if the terminal device receives an operation of the icon 501 for the first target application program on the first interface shown in fig. 5, the terminal device displays the interface of the first target application program. If the terminal device does not receive the operation of the icon 501 for the first target application program or the icon 502 for the second target application program within the preset duration, both the size of the icon 501 for the first target application program and the size of the icon 502 for the second target application program are changed to be equal to the icon size of the first application program. For example, when the terminal device displays the first interface as shown in fig. 5, the terminal device waits for a few seconds before receiving the user operation for the icon 501 of the first target application or the icon 502 of the second target application, and both the size of the icon 501 of the first target application and the size of the icon 502 of the second target application are changed to be equal to the icon size of the first application. Of course, if the terminal device receives the operation of the user on the icon 502 of the second target application, the steps after receiving the operation of the user on the icon 501 of the first target application may also be performed, which will not be described in detail. Therefore, when the user does not use the recommended target application program, the terminal equipment restores the icon size of the target application program to be the same as the icon size of other application programs, and user experience is improved.

In one possible implementation, when the terminal device recommends the target application program to the user, a second interface shown in fig. 6 may be displayed, and fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the second interface provided in the embodiment of the present application. The second interface comprises an icon of the target application program and an icon of a first application program, wherein the first application program is other application programs except the target application program. As shown in fig. 6, the icon 601 of the first target application program and the icon 602 of the second target application program are both in a jittered state, and the icons of the plurality of first application programs are in a non-jittered state. In this way, the terminal device changes the icon of the target application program from the non-jittering state to the jittering state, so that the user can quickly find the target application program in the first interface, the time for searching the icon of the target application program is saved, and the user experience is improved.

When the terminal device displays the second interface as shown in fig. 6, the user can conveniently trigger the target application program in the second interface. For example, if the terminal device receives an operation of the icon 601 of the first target application program for the jittered state on the second interface shown in fig. 6, the terminal device displays the interface of the first target application program. If the terminal device does not receive the operation of the icon 601 of the first target application program or the icon 602 of the second target application program in the jittered state within the preset duration, both the icon 601 of the first target application program and the icon 602 of the second target application program are changed from the jittered state to the non-jittered state. For example, when the terminal device displays the second interface as shown in fig. 6, the terminal device waits for a few seconds before receiving the user operation for the icon 601 of the first target application or the icon 602 of the second target application, and both the icon 601 of the first target application and the icon 602 of the second target application are changed from the jittered state to the non-jittered state. Of course, if the terminal device receives the operation of the user on the icon 602 of the second target application, the steps after receiving the operation of the user on the icon 601 of the first target application may also be performed, which will not be described in detail. Therefore, when the user does not use the recommended target application program, the terminal equipment changes the target application program into a non-jittering state, and user experience is improved.

It will be appreciated that the preset duration in the two possible implementations may be a shorter duration, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal device may obtain the first corresponding relationship before the first time, so that the terminal device can determine the target application program in the first corresponding relationship at the first time. Next, an example of a method for determining a first correspondence by a terminal device is described with reference to fig. 7, and fig. 7 is a flowchart of a method for determining a first correspondence provided in an embodiment of the present application.

The method for determining the first correspondence may include the steps of:

s701, the terminal equipment determines a first duty ratio and a second duty ratio of a target application program.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal device may determine a first number of days for using the target application program when the terminal device enters the preset time period, and a total number of days for the terminal device to enter the first time fence; the preset time period comprises a first time period corresponding to the first time fence, a second time period before the first time period and a third time period after the first time period, wherein the second time period and the third time period are smaller than the first time period. The terminal device may calculate a ratio of the number of first days to the total number of days to obtain a first duty ratio of the target application. Wherein the second time period and the third time period may be buffer time periods.

For example, the time period corresponding to the first time fence is from time 2 to time 3, the second time period is from time 1 to time 2, the third time period is from time 3 to time 4, and the preset time period is from time 1 to time 4. The number of days of using the target application program by the terminal equipment in the time 1 to the time 4 is a1, the total number of days of entering the terminal equipment in the time 1 to the time 4 is a4, and the first duty ratio is a1/a4.

It is understood that the second time period and the third time period belong to different time fences, and therefore, when the terminal device uses the target application program in the second time period, the first days in the first time fence and the first days in the time fence corresponding to the second time period are both increased.

In this way, when the user uses the target application program in the buffer period, the terminal device can record the use condition of the application program in two time fences, so that the terminal device can recommend the target application program to the user in both time fences.

The terminal device may also determine a first number of times the target application is used when entering the first geofence, and a total number of times the first geofence is entered, and calculate a duty cycle of the first number of times in the total number of times, resulting in a second duty cycle of the target application.

Illustratively, the first geofence is: one of a plurality of geofences created based on a cell identity of a cell into which the terminal device is entering and/or a service set identity of a wireless network to which the terminal device is connected.

It is to be appreciated that the time and geo-fences can be pre-created by the terminal device.

S702, the terminal equipment calculates a weight value of the target application program by using the first duty ratio and the second duty ratio.

Wherein the weight value represents a probability of using the target application when the terminal device enters the first time fence and the first geo-fence.

By way of example, the terminal device uses the first and second duty cycles to calculate the weight value of the target application in two possible implementations:

in one possible implementation, the terminal device calculates a product of the first duty cycle and the second duty cycle to obtain a weight value of the target application program.

The terminal device calculates the product of the first duty ratio and the second duty ratio to obtain the weight value, which can be realized by the following method: the terminal device may characterize the first duty ratio of the target application program in each time fence as a row matrix, characterize the second duty ratio of the target application program in each geofence as a column matrix, and calculate the outer product of the row matrix and the column matrix to obtain a target matrix, where the elements in the target matrix include probabilities that the terminal device is used in any time fence and any geofence, that is, the weight values corresponding to the target application program in any time fence and any geofence. At this time, the terminal device may directly obtain, in the target matrix, the weight values corresponding to the terminal device in the first time fence and the first geofence according to the first time fence and the first geofence.

It will be appreciated that there are 4 possible cases where the value of the first duty cycle and the value of the second duty cycle affect the weight value of the target application: when the value of the first duty ratio and the value of the second duty ratio are both larger, the obtained weight value is larger; the first duty ratio and the second duty ratio are larger and smaller, and the obtained weight value is medium; and when the value of the first duty ratio and the value of the second duty ratio are smaller, the obtained weight value is smaller. Therefore, the terminal equipment can determine the application program which is strongly related to the geographic information, or is strongly related to the time information, or is strongly related to both the time information and the geographic information according to the weight value, so that the accuracy of application program recommendation is improved. For example, the user returns to home at 19 pm to use application B which opens the door lock. When the user is overtime occasionally and returns home at 22 pm, the application program recommendation method provided by the embodiment of the application program recommendation method can recommend the application program B to the user.

Therefore, the terminal equipment can determine the target application program which is low in use frequency and is strongly related to a certain time period and/or a certain geographic position, and the accuracy of recommendation of the target application program is further improved.

In a possible implementation, the terminal device calculates a first product of the first value and the first duty cycle, and a second product of the second value and the second duty cycle; the first value is positively correlated to the number of times the target application is used when the terminal device enters the first geofence, and the second value is positively correlated to the number of times the target application is used when the terminal device enters the first geofence. The terminal device may calculate a sum of the first product and the second product to obtain a weight value of the application.

The first value is the ratio of the third value to the fourth value; the third value is the number of times the target application is used when the terminal device enters the first time fence, and the fourth value is the total number of times the target application is recommended when the terminal device enters the first time fence. For example, when the total number of recommended target applications when the terminal device enters the first time fence is a, the number of recommended target applications when the terminal device enters the first time fence is b, and then the first value is b/a.

The second value is a ratio of the fifth value to the sixth value, the fifth value is a number of times the target application is used when the terminal device enters the first geofence, and the sixth value is a total number of times the target application is recommended when the terminal device enters the first geofence. For example, the total number of recommended target applications when the terminal device enters the first geofence is c, the number of target applications used when the terminal device enters the first geofence is d, and the second value is d/c.

It is to be appreciated that the first value can characterize a relevance of the target application to the first geofence and the second value can characterize a relevance of the target application to the first geofence. When the terminal device is cold started, the first value and the second value of the terminal device may be equal initial values, and the initial values of the first value and the second value are not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In this way, the relevance between the target application program and the time fence and the relevance between the target application program and the time fence are considered, so that the terminal equipment can more accurately represent the demand of the user on the target application program by calculating the weight value of the target application program according to the first value and the second value, and the accuracy of the determined target application program is further improved.

When the terminal device recommends the target application for the user, the terminal device may update the first value and the second value according to whether the user uses the recommended target application.

Under the condition, when the terminal equipment displays an interface for recommending the target application program, if the terminal equipment receives the operation of a user aiming at the icon of the target application program, respectively adding preset values to the third value, the fourth value, the fifth value and the sixth value to obtain a new third value, a new fourth value, a new fifth value and a new sixth value, updating the first value into a ratio of the new third value to the new fourth value, and updating the second value into a ratio of the new fifth value to the new sixth value. Since the third value, the fourth value, the fifth value, and the sixth value are related to the number of times the target application is used, the preset value may also be related to the number of times the target application is used. For example, if the terminal device receives the operation of the icon of the target application program by the user, it indicates that the number of times and the total number of times the target application program is used by the terminal device when entering the first time fence are both increased by 1, and the number of times the target application program is used by the terminal device when entering the first time fence is both increased by 1.

In another case, when the terminal device does not receive the operation for the target application icon within the preset time, the fourth value and the sixth value are respectively added with preset values to obtain a new fourth value and a new sixth value, the first value is updated to be the ratio of the third value to the new fourth value, and the second value is updated to be the ratio of the fifth value to the new sixth value. For example, if the terminal device does not receive the user's operation on the icon of the target application, it indicates that the total number of times the terminal device uses the target application when entering the first time fence is increased by 1, and the total number of times the terminal device uses the target application when entering the first geo-fence is increased by 1.

It is to be appreciated that the first value of the first time-bar and the second value of the first geobar can reflect the importance of the target application within the first time-bar, and the importance within the first geobar.

In this way, the first value of the first time fence and the second value of the first geofence are updated according to the operation of the user on the target application program, so that the optimization of the first value and the second value is realized, the terminal equipment can recommend the application program by using the new first value and the new second value, the accuracy of recommending the application program is further improved, and the user experience is improved.

S703, the terminal equipment obtains a first corresponding relation.

Further, the terminal device may obtain the first correspondence based on the first time fence, and the weight values of the one or more applications within the first time fence and the first time fence.

Based on the above, the first correspondence of the terminal device can be determined before the first moment, so that the terminal device can determine the target application program in the first correspondence based on the first time information and the first geographic information of the first moment, and the user experience is improved for recommending the target application program which better accords with the user intention.

For example, the terminal device may determine the weight value of any application within each first time fence and each first geofence according to the methods shown in steps S701 and S702 described above.

The application recommendation method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to fig. 8 to 9. Fig. 8 is a flowchart of another application recommendation method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8, the application recommendation method may include the following steps:

s801, the terminal equipment acquires historical data of a user.

In this embodiment of the present application, the history data of the user includes a time when the user uses each application, a location where the terminal device is located when the user uses each application, the number of times of using the application in different time periods, the number of times of using the application in different locations, and the like.

For example, the terminal device may first create a time fence and a geo-fence. When the terminal device creates the time fence, the granularity and the buffer degree of the time fence may be defined, the buffer degree of the time fence may be a first time period and a third time period included in the preset time period in the above embodiment, and the granularity of the time fence may be a second time period in the above preset time period.

For example, when the granularity of the terminal device definition time fence is 30 minutes and the buffer is 15 minutes, that is, the time period corresponding to each time fence is 30 minutes, the terminal device divides 24 hours in one day into 48 time periods. When the terminal equipment acquires the historical data of the user, the terminal equipment can buffer the historical data for 15 minutes forwards and backwards respectively, for example, the historical data of the user in a time fence corresponding to 7:00-7:30 can be acquired in a time fence corresponding to 6:45-7:45. Therefore, by adding the buffer mechanism, the historical data in the time period where the buffer degree is located can be classified into two time fences, the problem of fuzzy time boundary can be solved, and the accuracy of recommending the application program is further improved.

For example, when the terminal device creates the geofence, the terminal device may directly create the geofence according to the geographic position data in the historical data of the user, or may create the geofence in a clustering manner. For example, a plurality of geofences are created respectively according to a cell identity of a cell in which the terminal device is located and/or a service set identity of a wireless network to which the terminal device is connected, which is included in the history data of the user. The terminal device may cluster the cell identifier of the cell in which the terminal device is located and/or the service set identifier of the wireless network to which the terminal device is connected, to obtain a plurality of clusters, and determine each cluster as a geofence.

The manner in which the geofence is created is not particularly limited by the embodiments of the present application.

For example, after creating the time fence and the geofence, the historical data of the user may be classified according to the corresponding time fence and the geofence, so as to obtain the number of days each application program is used in each time fence, the total number of days each application program is used in each time fence, the number of times each application program is used in each geofence, and the total number of times the terminal device enters the geofence.

For example, if the historical data of the user acquired by the terminal device is less, the terminal device may acquire data related to the application usage frequency at the cloud.

S802, the terminal equipment calculates a first ratio of the number of days used by each application program to the total number of days in each time fence.

The method for calculating the first ratio by the terminal device may refer to the method for determining the first duty ratio described in the above embodiment, which is not described herein.

It can be understood that when calculating the first ratio corresponding to each time fence, if the number of times each application program is used in a certain time fence is 0, or the number of times each application program is used in the time fence and the number corresponding to the total number of times are lost, the average value of the first ratios of the two time fences before and after the time fence can be calculated, so as to obtain the first ratio corresponding to the time fence.

S803, the terminal equipment calculates a second ratio of the number of times each application program is used in each geofence to the total number of times the terminal equipment enters the geofence.

The method for calculating the second ratio by the terminal device may refer to the method for determining the second duty ratio described in the above embodiment, which is not described herein.

It can be understood that when calculating the second ratio corresponding to each geofence, if there is a situation that the number of times each application program is used in a certain geofence is 0, or the number corresponding to the number of times each application program is used and the total number of times in the geofence is lost, the average value of the second ratios of two geofences with smaller distances from the geofence can be calculated, so as to obtain the second ratio corresponding to the geofence.

S804, aiming at any application program, the terminal equipment determines a time rule matrix according to a first ratio of the application program in each time fence.

For example, the time rule matrix may be a row matrix, and the elements in the time rule matrix are the first ratios corresponding to the application program in each time fence. The sorting order of the first ratios in the time rule matrix may be the sequence of the time periods corresponding to the time fences, and in the embodiment of the present application, the sorting order of the first ratios is not specifically limited.

S805, aiming at any application program, the terminal equipment determines a space rule matrix according to a second ratio of the application program in each geofence.

For example, the time law matrix may be a column matrix, and the elements in the time law matrix are the corresponding second ratios of the application within each geofence.

S806, aiming at any application program, the terminal equipment calculates the outer product of the time rule matrix and the space rule matrix to obtain a space-time rule matrix, wherein elements in the space-time rule matrix are weight values of the application program.

For example, the following formula can be referred to by the terminal device for obtaining the space-time rule matrix:

wherein, the row matrix is a time rule matrix, and the column matrix is a space rule matrix. t is t ₁ Indicating that the application is at t ₁ First ratio, t, within corresponding time fence ₂ Indicating that the application is at t ₂ First ratio, t, within corresponding time fence ₃ Indicating that the application is at t ₃ A first ratio within the corresponding time rail. s is(s) ₁ Representing an application at s ₁ Second duty cycle, s, within corresponding spatial fence ₂ Representing an application at s ₂ Second duty cycle, s, within corresponding spatial fence ₃ Representing an application at s ₃ A second duty cycle within the corresponding spatial fence. t is t ₁ *s ₁ The application represented is at t ₁ Corresponding time fence and s ₁ Weight value, t, in corresponding spatial fence ₁ *s ₂ The application represented is at t ₁ Corresponding time fence and s ₂ Weight value, t, in corresponding spatial fence ₂ *s ₁ The application represented is at t ₂ Corresponding time fence and s ₁ Weight value, t, in corresponding spatial fence ₂ *s ₂ The application represented is at t ₂ Corresponding time fence and s ₂ Weight value, t, in corresponding spatial fence ₃ *s ₁ The application represented is at t ₃ Corresponding time fence and s ₁ Weight value, t, in corresponding spatial fence ₃ *s ₂ The application represented is at t ₃ Corresponding time fence and s ₂ Weight values within the corresponding spatial fence.

For example, taking application A as an example, the spatio-temporal law matrix for application A is calculated by the following formula:

wherein 0.7 in the time rule matrix represents a first ratio of the application program A in the time fence of 7:00-8:00, 0.5 represents a first ratio of the application program A in the time fence of 8:00-9:00, and 0.3 represents a first ratio of the application program A in the time fence of 9:00-10:00. 0.8 in the space rule matrix represents the second ratio of application A in the space fence of "home" and 0.3 represents the second ratio of application A in the space fence of "station". 0.56, i.e., 0.7 x 0.8, in the space-time law matrix indicates the weight value of the application program a in the space-time fence of 7:00-8:00, in the space-time fence of "home", 0.21 indicates the weight value of the application program a in the space-time fence of 7:00-8:00, in the space-time fence of "station", 0.4 indicates the weight value of the application program a in the space-time fence of 8:00-9:00, in the space-time fence of "home", 0.15 indicates the weight value of the application program a in the space-time fence of 8:00-9:00, in the space-time fence of "station", 0.24 indicates the weight value of the application program a in the space-time fence of 9:00-10:00, in the space-time fence of "home", and 0.09 indicates the weight value of the application program a in the space-time fence of 9:00-10:00.

In this way, the terminal device may determine the weight values of the application within each time-fence and each geofence, i.e., the terminal device may determine the application that is more likely to be used by the user in different scenarios, thereby recommending the application to the user.

S807, the terminal equipment recommends the target application program to the user according to the weight value of each application program.

In one possible implementation, when the terminal device recommends the target application program to the user according to the weight value of each application program, the terminal device can find the corresponding time fence and the corresponding geofence in the space-time rule matrix according to the moment and the position of the terminal device, and determine the weight value of each application program in the time fence and the geofence. The terminal device may sort the applications according to the order of the weight values from the big to the small, so as to obtain an ordered list of the applications, and the target application may be the top few applications in the list. The terminal device may display an interface for recommending the application program by the method described in the above embodiment.

For example, in the time fence corresponding to 7:00-8:00 in the morning, the weight value of 8 applications can be determined in the space fence corresponding to "home" in the space-time rule matrix, wherein the weight value of application 1 is 0.81, the weight value of application 2 is 0.64, the weight value of application 3 is 0.56, the weight value of application 4 is 0.36, the weight value of application 5 is 0.30, the weight value of application 6 is 0.25, the weight value of application 7 is 0.20, the weight value of application 8 is 0.16, and the recommended list of applications can be obtained by sorting according to the order of the weight values of applications from large to small: then the list of applications recommended to the user under this space-time is: application 1, application 2, application 3, application 4, application 5, application 6, application 7, application 8.

In one possible implementation, when the terminal device recommends the target application program to the user according to the weight value of each application program, the terminal device may determine the weight value of each application program in the first corresponding relationship according to the first time information and the first location information acquired by the terminal device according to the method described in the foregoing embodiment, and recommend the target application program whose weight value meets the preset condition to the user. The application recommendation method described in the above embodiments may be referred to specifically, and this embodiment is not described herein.

Based on the method, the terminal equipment calculates the weight values of the application programs in the time fence and the geofence by processing the historical data of the user, predicts the target application programs required by the user at any geographic position at any moment by the calculated weight values, can recommend the target application programs which accord with the user intention to the user, and improves the accuracy of application program recommendation.
