Specific embodiment

The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a flow chart of steps of a method for providing an application channel package according to the present invention is shown. Specifically, the method may include the following steps:

In step 101, an application installation package is obtained.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the device for providing the application channel package may be a stand-alone system with its own storage system, or may be integrated into an existing server, such as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) server.

There are several ways to obtain an application installation package for the device that provides the application channel package. For example, the application developer generally pre-stores the application installation package in the CDN server. The device can download the application installation package from the CDN server through the Linux shell script and decompress it, or the CDN server can actively send it to the CDN server. The device.

Step 102: Determine whether the application installation package accesses a software development kit SDK for reading tail data.

After obtaining the application installation package, the device can read the decompression file of the application installation package, and further determine, according to the content of the file, whether the application installation package is connected to a software development kit (Software Development Kit, SDK) that can read the data at the end of the file. ).

Specifically, it may be determined whether the version number of the SDK is recorded in the file of the application installation package; for example, the record item in the file is a field of VersionName, and if the version number is recorded, it may be determined that the application installation package is connected to the SDK.

The application installation package obtained by the device may be partially or completely connected to the SDK, and the application developer may access the SDK in the source code of the application installation package in advance, and the SDK can identify the end identifier of the application installation package and can read out The data after the end identifier.

If the device determines that the SDK is accessed in the application installation package, step 103 is performed. Otherwise, the application installation package may be directly provided to the channel party or the user for download according to the existing processing flow.

Step 103: Upon receiving the download request of the channel party, obtain an application channel package corresponding to the channel party generated according to the application installation package, for the channel party to download.

When the device receives the download of the application channel package corresponding to the application installation package by the channel party Upon request, the device may obtain the channel information of the channel according to the request, and then recompile the application installation package according to the channel information and the application installation package to obtain the application channel package, or the corresponding data of the channel information. Continue to generate an application channel package at the end of the application installation package. The device may also send related data of the channel to other servers, such as a CDN server, and the corresponding application channel package is generated by the other server and then returned to the device. For details, refer to the description of the subsequent embodiments. The application channel package can use the SDK to read the channel data, and then the channel information to achieve multi-channel distribution.

The device can provide a data reading interface as a network service, so that a channel party and the like can obtain data in the device through the interface. When the data requested by the channel party from the interface is an application installation package that is connected to the SDK, the device obtains the application channel package corresponding to the application installation package in real time for the channel to download. At the same time, the device can also provide webpage version information, which can be directly used by the channel party or the user, and the channel party or the user can download and obtain the application channel package from the webpage by accessing the webpage.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the process for obtaining the application channel package by the device may be as shown in FIG. 2, including:

Step 201: Obtain channel information of the channel side according to the download request of the channel party.

The device providing the application channel package receives a request for downloading an application channel package sent by the channel, and the request includes channel information of the channel side.

Step 202: Send the channel information to the server.

The device can specifically transmit the channel information to the server by means of URL passing. In this embodiment, the server may be a CDN server.

After receiving the channel information, the server may use the agreed key to encrypt the channel information to obtain the channel data, and then recompile the application installation package according to the channel data and the application installation package to obtain the application channel package. The channel data can be continually generated at the end of the application installation package to generate an application channel package.

After the server generates the application channel package, it sends it to the device that provides the application channel package.

Step 203: The sending server sends the generated information according to the channel information and the application installation package. Application channel package.

After receiving the application channel package, the device can provide the channel party with the download of the application channel package.

In addition, after the server generates the application channel package, the server may further obtain the association information of the application channel package, such as the installation package length, the check value, the installation package name, the software name corresponding to the installation package, and the software corresponding to the installation package. .

For example, the server compares the length of the application installation package with the length of the channel data as the installation package length of the application channel package; calculates the MD5 value of the application channel package after the application installation package and the channel data are combined as the verification value of the application channel package, and the like. .

The server may send the association information of the application channel package to the device that provides the application channel package together with the application channel package, or may also send the requested information when the device sends the associated information of the application channel package. The associated information is sent to the device.

Step 204: Receive association information of the application channel package calculated by the server according to the channel information and the application installation package, where the association information includes at least one of the following: an installation package length, a check value, an installation package name, and software corresponding to the installation package. The name, the picture of the software corresponding to the installation package.

After the device obtains the associated information of the application channel package, the following steps 205-206 can also be performed.

Step 205: Receive a request for the association information of the application channel package sent by the channel party.

Step 206: Send association information of the application channel package to the channel side.

In another embodiment, the sequence between the foregoing method steps 204-205 may be adjusted as needed. For example, the device may first perform steps 201-203, and then perform step 205 to receive a request from the channel party for the associated information. After that, the server sends a request for acquiring the associated information, and then step 204 is performed, and finally step 206 is performed.

In this embodiment, the process and storage for generating the channel installation package are completed in a server (such as a CDN), which can meet the requirements of the network service for efficiency.
