Therefore, great convenience can be provided for users, and the invention provides a program testing method.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a cross-terminal downloading method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method for downloading across terminals includes the following steps.

S101, the cloud server receives a downloading request of the first terminal, wherein the downloading request comprises associated information.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal may be one of a mobile terminal and a Personal Computer (PC). The mobile terminal may be a hardware device with various operating systems, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and a personal digital assistant.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the association information may be identification information of the second terminal or binding information between the first terminal and the second terminal. For example, the first terminal and the second terminal may be installed with the same browser application program, and the user may create a user account in the browser application program, and establish a binding relationship between the first terminal and the second terminal through the user account, that is, implement synchronization between the first terminal and the second terminal through logging in the user account. In addition, if the second terminal is a mobile terminal, the first terminal may also establish a binding relationship according to the identification information of the second terminal. The identification information may be, for example, an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) or the like.

And S102, the cloud server acquires information of a second terminal associated with the first terminal according to the associated information.

In one embodiment of the invention, the second terminal may be the other of the mobile terminal and the personal computer. Specifically, if the first terminal is a mobile terminal, the second terminal is a personal computer; and if the first terminal is a personal computer, the second terminal is a mobile terminal.

And S103, the cloud server sends the downloading request to the second terminal so that the second terminal can download according to the downloading request.

In an embodiment of the present invention, a background monitoring module may be disposed in the second terminal to monitor the download request sent by the cloud server. Specifically, if the second terminal monitors the download request sent by the cloud server, the second terminal establishes a download task for downloading. The downloading method can be implemented by other existing downloading methods, for example, establishing a downloading task in a browser, or downloading an application program, etc., and is not redundant here.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a cross-terminal downloading method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the method for downloading across terminals includes the following steps.

S201, the cloud server receives a downloading request of the first terminal, wherein the downloading request comprises associated information.

S202, the cloud server acquires information of a second terminal related to the first terminal according to the related information.

S203, the cloud server acquires the type information and/or the resource use information of the second terminal.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the type information may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a type, a model number, and an operating system of the second terminal. Specifically, the cloud server may obtain the type information of the second terminal through, for example, the identification information of the second terminal.

In one embodiment of the invention, the resource usage information may include, but is not limited to, one or more of occupancy of the central processing unit CPU, memory occupancy, remaining storage capacity of the storage, network connection.

And S204, the cloud server searches a corresponding downloading address in the cloud server according to the type information and/or the resource use information, and modifies the downloading request according to the downloading address.

Specifically, the cloud server may search a corresponding download address in, for example, a database of the cloud server through the type information and/or the resource usage information of the second terminal. For example, the user wants to download the video, and if the type information of the second terminal is the mobile phone, the cloud server can search a download address of the mobile phone version video; if the second terminal is in Wifi connection, the cloud server can search for a download address of the high-definition version video; or if the CPU and memory occupancy rates of the second terminal are high, the cloud server can search the download address of the video file with the smaller capacity version and the like. And the cloud server modifies the download address in the download request sent by the first terminal according to the searched download address.

In one embodiment of the invention, the downloaded content has a first version and a second version, wherein the quality of the downloaded content of the first version is better than the quality of the download of the second version. Wherein the quality of the first version of the downloaded content is better than the quality of the second version of the download. For example, if the downloaded content is a video, the downloaded content of the first version may be a video file of a high definition version, and the downloaded content of the second version may be a video file of a lower definition version; if the downloaded content is an audio MP3 file, the downloaded content of the first version may be an MP3 file with a high bit rate, the downloaded content of the second version may be an MP3 file with a low bit rate, etc.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the first terminal and the second terminal are PCs or mobile terminals, the cloud server may include a PC server and a mobile terminal server, and the PC server and the mobile terminal server correspond to the first terminal and the second terminal, respectively. If the PC (namely the first terminal) sends a downloading request to the PC server and requests to download the downloading content to the mobile terminal (namely the second terminal), the downloading request is forwarded to the mobile terminal server by the PC server, and the mobile terminal server selects the corresponding first version or second version of the downloading content to provide to the mobile terminal according to the conditions of the mobile terminal. Similarly, in another embodiment of the present invention, when the mobile terminal sends a download request to the mobile terminal server and requests to download the downloaded content to the PC, the mobile terminal server forwards the download to the PC server to complete the download. The same applies to the following embodiments, which are not described in detail.

In one embodiment of the invention, if the network connection of the second terminal is a WiFi network, the first version of the downloaded content is provided to the second terminal; and if the network connection of the second terminal is not the WiFi network, providing the second version of the downloaded content for the second terminal. For example, if the network connection of the second terminal is a WiFi network, the second terminal is provided with a first version of downloaded content, i.e., a high definition version of a video file. On the contrary, if the network connection of the second terminal is not the WiFi network, the second version of the downloaded content, i.e. the lower definition version of the video file, is provided to the second terminal. Therefore, the downloading time of the second terminal can be saved, and the internet traffic of the second terminal can be saved.

In one embodiment of the invention, if the occupancy rate of the CPU and/or the memory occupancy rate of the second terminal does not exceed the preset threshold value, the first version of the downloaded content is provided for the second terminal; and if the occupancy rate of the CPU and/or the memory occupancy rate of the second terminal exceeds a preset threshold value, providing the second version of the download content for the second terminal. The preset threshold value may be default, or may be set by the user in the cloud server according to the needs of the user. For example, if the occupancy rate and/or the memory occupancy rate of the CPU of the second terminal does not exceed the preset threshold, the first version of the downloaded content, i.e., the high-definition version of the video file, is provided to the second terminal. On the contrary, if the occupancy rate of the CPU and/or the memory occupancy rate of the second terminal exceeds the preset threshold, the second version of the downloaded content, that is, the lower definition version of the video file, is provided to the second terminal. Therefore, the resource of the second terminal can be saved, and the over-high resource occupancy rate when the second terminal downloads is avoided.

And S205, the cloud server acquires a downloading strategy of the downloading request, and sends the downloading request to the second terminal according to the downloading strategy, so that the second terminal downloads according to the downloading request.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the download policy may include, but is not limited to, one of immediate download, delayed download. Specifically, the cloud server may set a downloading policy in the cloud server, or the user may set the downloading policy in the cloud server according to the user's own needs. E.g., a timed download strategy (i.e., setting a preset time for transmission), etc. More specifically, after receiving the download request sent by the first terminal, the cloud server may send the download request to the second terminal within a preset time, for example, the preset time is 1 hour. Therefore, the cloud server can simultaneously send a plurality of downloading requests to the second terminal for downloading according to the downloading strategy (namely every 1 hour).

According to the cross-terminal downloading method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the cloud server correspondingly modifies the downloading address in the downloading request of the first terminal, so that the second terminal establishes a downloading task according to the modified downloading request to download. In addition, the cloud server can simultaneously send the downloading requests sent by the first terminals to the second terminal by setting the downloading strategy.

In order to implement the above embodiments, the present invention further provides a system for performing downloading across terminals.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a cross-terminal downloading system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the system for downloading across terminals includes: the cloud server 100, the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300.

Specifically, the cloud server 100 is configured to receive a download request of the first terminal 200, where the download request includes associated information, obtain information of the second terminal 300 associated with the first terminal 200 according to the associated information, and send the download request to the second terminal 300, so that the second terminal 300 downloads according to the download request.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal 200 may be one of a mobile terminal and a Personal Computer (PC). The mobile terminal may be a hardware device with various operating systems, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and a personal digital assistant.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the association information may be identification information of the second terminal 300 or binding information between the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300, etc. For example, the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 may be installed with the same browser application, and the user may create a user account in the browser application, and establish a binding relationship between the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 through the user account, that is, implement synchronization between the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 through a login account. In addition, if the second terminal 300 is a mobile terminal, the first terminal 200 may also establish a binding relationship according to the identification information of the second terminal 300. The identification information may be, for example, an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) or the like.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the second terminal 300 may be the other of a mobile terminal and a personal computer. Specifically, if the first terminal 200 is a mobile terminal, the second terminal 300 is a personal computer; if the first terminal 200 is a personal computer, the second terminal 300 is a mobile terminal.

In an embodiment of the present invention, a background monitoring module may be disposed in the second terminal 300 to monitor the download request sent by the cloud server 100. Specifically, if the second terminal 300 monitors the download request sent by the cloud server 100, the second terminal 300 establishes a download task for downloading. The downloading method can be implemented by other existing downloading methods, for example, establishing a downloading task in a browser, or downloading an application program, etc., and is not redundant here.

In an embodiment of the present invention, before the cloud server 100 sends the download request to the second terminal 300, the cloud server 100 is further configured to obtain type information and/or resource usage information of the second terminal 300, search a corresponding download address in the cloud server 100 according to the type information and/or the resource usage information, and modify the download request according to the download address. The type information may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a type, a model, and an operating system of the second terminal. Specifically, the cloud server 100 may obtain the type information of the second terminal 300 through, for example, the identification information of the second terminal 300. The resource usage information may include, but is not limited to, one or more of central processing unit CPU occupancy, memory occupancy, remaining storage capacity of the storage, network connectivity. Specifically, the cloud server 100 may search a corresponding download address in, for example, a database of the cloud server 100 through the type information and/or the resource usage information of the second terminal 300. For example, if the user wishes to download a video, if the type information of the second terminal 300 is a mobile phone, the cloud server 100 may search for a download address of a version video of the mobile phone; if the second terminal 300 is in Wifi connection, the cloud server 100 may search for a download address of the high-definition version video; or if the CPU and memory occupancy rates of the second terminal 300 are high, the cloud server 100 may search for the download address of the video file with the smaller capacity. The cloud server 100 modifies the download address in the download request sent by the first terminal 200 according to the found download address.

In one embodiment of the invention, the downloaded content has a first version and a second version, wherein the quality of the downloaded content of the first version is better than the quality of the download of the second version. For example, if the downloaded content is a video, the downloaded content of the first version may be a video file of a high definition version, and the downloaded content of the second version may be a video file of a lower definition version; if the downloaded content is an audio MP3 file, the downloaded content of the first version may be an MP3 file with a high bit rate, the downloaded content of the second version may be an MP3 file with a low bit rate, etc. It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the first terminal and the second terminal are PCs or mobile terminals, the cloud server may include a PC server and a mobile terminal server, and the PC server and the mobile terminal server correspond to the first terminal and the second terminal, respectively. If the PC (namely the first terminal) sends a downloading request to the PC server and requests to download the downloading content to the mobile terminal (namely the second terminal), the downloading request is forwarded to the mobile terminal server by the PC server, and the mobile terminal server selects the corresponding first version or second version of the downloading content to provide to the mobile terminal according to the conditions of the mobile terminal. Similarly, in another embodiment of the present invention, when the mobile terminal sends a download request to the mobile terminal server and requests to download the downloaded content to the PC, the mobile terminal server forwards the download to the PC server to complete the download. The same applies to the following embodiments, which are not described in detail.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the cloud server 100 is further configured to provide the first version of the downloaded content to the second terminal 300 when the network connection of the second terminal 300 is a WiFi network, and provide the second version of the downloaded content to the second terminal 300 when the network connection of the second terminal 300 is not a WiFi network. For example, if the network connection of the second terminal 300 is a WiFi network, the cloud server 100 provides the second terminal 300 with the first version of the downloaded content, i.e., the high definition version of the video file. On the contrary, if the network connection of the second terminal 300 is not the WiFi network, the cloud server 100 provides the second version of the downloaded content, i.e. the lower definition version of the video file, to the second terminal 300. Therefore, the downloading time of the second terminal 300 can be saved, and the internet traffic of the second terminal 300 can be saved.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the cloud server 100 is further configured to provide the first version of the downloaded content to the second terminal 300 when the CPU occupancy rate and/or the memory occupancy rate of the second terminal 300 do not exceed a preset threshold, and provide the second version of the downloaded content to the second terminal 300 when the CPU occupancy rate and/or the memory occupancy rate of the second terminal 300 exceed the preset threshold. The preset threshold may be a default in the cloud server 100, or may be set by the user in the cloud server 100 according to the requirement of the user. For example, if the occupancy rate of the CPU and/or the memory occupancy rate of the second terminal 300 does not exceed the preset threshold, the cloud server 100 provides the first version of the downloaded content, i.e., the high definition version of the video file, to the second terminal 300. On the contrary, if the CPU occupancy rate and/or the memory occupancy rate of the second terminal 300 exceed the preset threshold, the cloud server 100 provides the second version of the downloaded content, i.e., the lower definition version of the video file, to the second terminal 300. Therefore, the resource of the second terminal 300 can be saved, and the resource occupancy rate is prevented from being too high when the second terminal 300 downloads.

In an embodiment of the present invention, before the cloud server 100 sends the download request to the second terminal 300, the cloud server 100 is further configured to obtain a download policy of the download request, and send the download request to the second terminal according to the download policy, so that the second terminal performs downloading according to the download request. The downloading policy may include, but is not limited to, one of immediate downloading and delayed downloading. Specifically, the cloud server may set a downloading policy in the cloud server, or the user may set the downloading policy in the cloud server according to the user's own needs. E.g., a timed download strategy (i.e., setting a preset time for transmission), etc. More specifically, after receiving the download request sent by the first terminal, the cloud server may send the download request to the second terminal within a preset time, for example, the preset time is 1 hour. Therefore, the cloud server can simultaneously send a plurality of downloading requests to the second terminal for downloading according to the downloading strategy (namely every 1 hour).

In order to implement the above embodiment, the invention further provides a cloud server.
