Embodiment
In the embodiment of the present application, when terminal is by when the link of popularization and application downloads this whne popularization and application, to popularization Server sends the first request message for carrying the promoter's mark for the promoter for issuing the link, and promotion server receives this After first request message, generate Cookie and return to terminal, the Cookie is used to determine that promoter identifies, and is installed simultaneously in terminal Start this when popularization and application, the second request message for carrying the Cookie is sent to promotion server, promotion server then may be used To determine that the promoter for having promoted the promoter of the application identifies according to the Cookie, thus tracking has promoted this and has treated popularization and application Promoter.In the embodiment of the present application, treat that popularization and application include the application program that can be installed and executed in the terminal, below APP to be promoted is referred to as in description.
By the above method, promotion server can track the promoter for having promoted the App to be promoted by Cookie, from The domestic consumer is identified without the mac address information using terminal, promoter is also just without embedded in the App of oneself SDK or API obtains the mac address information of terminal, therefore improves App development efficiency and promote efficiency.
With reference to Figure of description, the embodiment of the present application is described in detail.
The process for the tracking promoter that Fig. 2 provides for the embodiment of the present application, specifically includes following steps:
S201:Receiving terminal user by wait promote APP promotion link download this wait promote App when send first Request message.
In the embodiment of the present application, promoter first has to issue the link of the App to be promoted, wherein, promoter is except can Outside link to issue the App to be promoted in the App that oneself is developed, can also by instant communication software, mail etc. its His channel issues the link of the App to be promoted.Specifically, promoter is being issued when App link is promoted, it will can be somebody's turn to do in advance Promoter's mark of promoter itself is arranged in the link of the App to be promoted, is made by clicking on the link to extension service Promoter's mark of the promoter itself is carried in the first request message that device is sent.Therefore, wait to promote when user clicks this App link, terminal downloads this when App is promoted based on this wait the link for promoting App, and the terminal where the user is based on the chain The promoter's mark for the promoter for issuing the link will be carried in the first request message received and sent.Institute in the embodiment of the present application The terminal stated includes mobile terminal.The first described request message can be HTTP(Hyper Text Transport Protocol, HTTP)Request.
S202:Generated according to first request message for determining the Cookie that the promoter identifies, and by the Cookie Return to terminal.
In the embodiment of the present application, the Cookie generated according to first request message can be used for the unique mark end End.Now, promotion server can set up the Cookie and the corresponding relation of the promoter's mark carried in first request message And preserve.Specifically, promotion server can generate a unique character string, using the character string of generation as identifying The Cookie of the terminal.In subsequent steps, promotion server can be according to the second request sent by the terminal received The Cookie carried in message, and the corresponding relation that the Cookie set up is identified with promoter, wait to push away it is determined that having promoted this Promoter's mark of wide App promoter.
In addition, when terminal has the record for repeatedly installing application, terminal can be in the domain where treating the link of popularization and application Under search whether to have existed the Cookie generated before promotion server for the terminal, when there is Cookie, terminal The Cookie can be directly carried in the first request message sent.Promotion server is received after first request message, can To judge the Cookie generated before promotion server whether is carried in first request message for the terminal, if carrying it The preceding Cookie generated for the terminal, then set up the Cookie and that the promoter that is carried in first request message identifies is corresponding Relation, if not carrying, can generate unique Cookie for the terminal, for identifying the terminal, resettle being somebody's turn to do for generation Cookie and the corresponding relation for promoting user's mark carried in first request message.
Finally, the Cookie of setting is returned to terminal and preserved by promotion server, certainly, if the first of terminal transmission please The Cookie for having carried and having been generated before promotion server in message is sought, then promotion server need not return again to the Cookie. Wherein, because promotion server is that the terminal is identified by the Cookie generated for the terminal, therefore, promotion server will The method that the Cookie of generation returns to the terminal can include:The Cookie of generation is written in the browser of the terminal, So that follow-up when this is installed and activated when App is promoted in the terminal, the terminal can be sent out by browser to the promotion server Send the second request message for carrying the Cookie.
In another embodiment of the application, promotion server can also be according to the promoter carried in first request message Mark, generation includes the Cookie of promoter mark.Now, the Cookie is used directly for identification and has promoted this waiting to push away Promoter's mark of the promoter extensively applied.
S203:Receiving terminal is in user installation and starts the second of the carryings Cookie sent after App is promoted and asks Seek message.
User is clicked after the link of the App to be promoted, waits to promote if this has been installed and activated by terminal downloads App, the terminal then sends to promotion server and promotion server generation is carried in the second request message, second request message Cookie.Second request message that promotion server receiving terminal is sent.
Specifically, in the Cookie that promotion server is returned to be written to terminal the terminal browser of itself When, terminal can send the second request message for carrying the Cookie by the browser of itself to promotion server.Wherein, eventually End only can start this for the first time when App is promoted in the user, sent and carried to promotion server by the browser of itself The second request message of the Cookie, is subsequently again started up the App to be promoted then without sending.
Preferably, in view of when the user starts this whne popularization App, terminal needs to call the browser of itself, is used to The second request message is sent to promotion server, so that when the user starts this when App is promoted, terminal meeting automatic spring is browsed The page of device, this will result in experience of the user to the App to be promoted and declines.Therefore, popularization App is treated in order to improve user Experience degree, terminal sends the second request message in the browser by itself to promotion server in the embodiment of the present application When, it can first start the browser of itself, close the address field of browser, and show that this waits to push away in the page that browser is shown Wide App application identification information, then sends the second request message by the browser to promotion server.
Specifically, the App to be promoted shown in the page that browser is shown application identification information can include:Should The information such as App to be promoted icon, title, brief introduction.The address field of above-mentioned closing browser, and shown in the page of browser The method of the application identification information of the App to be promoted, can make the user perceive the page currently shown to a certain extent It is exactly a page of the App to be promoted, and is not the page of the browser called, so as to improves to a certain extent Experience of the user to the App to be promoted.
It is of course also possible to use other method, which improves user, treats the experience degree for promoting App.For example, as user first Secondary startup this when App is promoted, terminal does not call browser to send the second request message automatically, but shows one to the user It can be disappeared in prompting message, the prompting message comprising a send button with pointing out user to send the second request to promotion server Breath, user can then select to send or do not send the second request message as needed, if sending, user clicks directly on prompting and disappeared The send button included in breath, terminal then calls browser to send the second request message to promotion server, if not sending, Then close the prompting message.
S204:Determined to have promoted pushing away for the promoter of the App to be promoted according to the Cookie carried in the second request message Wide person's mark.
When promotion server receives second request message of terminal transmission, according to what is carried in second request message Cookie determines that promoter identifies, and being identified according to the promoter just can track the promoter for having promoted the App to be promoted.
Specifically, if the Cookie of promotion server generation is for the unique mark terminal, promotion server is The corresponding relation of promoter's mark of the Cookie generated for the terminal and promoter is established, therefore, when promotion server connects When receiving the second request message, then the corresponding relation that can be identified according to the Cookie of foundation with promoter determines that this second please The corresponding promoter's marks of the Cookie carried in message are sought, the promoter found is identified to identified promoter, as What is tracked has promoted the promoter of the App to be promoted to the user.Subsequently the promoter inquired mark can be returned to this The corresponding application server of App to be promoted, the developer to make the App to be promoted(Advertiser)Know:To user success The promoter for having promoted the App to be promoted is the promoter corresponding to the promoter mark of return.
Generated it can be seen from said process due to using promotion server in the embodiment of the present application for the terminal Cookie identifies terminal, terminal is identified without the mac address information using terminal, therefore, promoter is also just without volume Outer exploitation is used for the SDK or API for obtaining terminal MAC address information, so as to improve App development efficiency and App to be promoted Popularization efficiency.Further, since promoter by the SDK or API that are embedded in App without obtaining end in the embodiment of the present application The mac address information at end, also imply that treat promote App promoted when, channels can be not limited by other App promoted, can also be treated by other channels such as instant communication software, mail popularization App promoted, this Also improve the diversity of the way of promotion.
In addition, if directly containing promoter's mark in the Cookie of promotion server generation, then work as promotion server When receiving the second request message, the promoter included in the Cookie that directly can be carried second request message identifies, It is defined as having promoted promoter's mark of the promoter of the App to be promoted.
Further, because a promoter may promote to multiple App to be promoted, therefore, in order that promoting Server can more accurately distinguish which promoter has successfully promoted which App to be promoted, in above-mentioned steps S201, when User click promoter's issue when App link is promoted, namely terminal will download this by the link of the App to be promoted When App is promoted, the promoter in the first request message that terminal is sent to promotion server except promoter to be carried identifies In addition, the App marks of the App to be promoted can also be carried.Specifically, promoter can in advance by itself promoter identify with And the App marks of the App to be promoted are arranged in the link of the App to be promoted, make by clicking on the link to extension service Promoter's mark of the promoter itself and the App marks of the App to be promoted are carried in the first request message that device is sent.
It is above-mentioned when also carrying this in the first request message that promotion server is received when App App marks are promoted Promotion server is generated after the Cookie for the unique mark terminal in step S202, then can set up being somebody's turn to do for generation In the promoter's mark carried in Cookie, first request message and first request message App that carries identify this three The corresponding relation of person.Follow-up, in step S203, this is being installed and activated when App is promoted in terminal, to promotion server In the second request message sent in addition to carrying the Cookie that promotion server is set, also to carry the App's to be promoted App is identified, then in step S204, and promotion server can determine that Cookie and App with being carried in second request message are marked Know the promoter's mark for being respectively provided with corresponding relation, and the promoter found is identified into identified promoter, as successfully pushing away The wide promoter of the App to be promoted.
Further, it is contemplated that in actual applications can this thing happens:User's using terminal is sent out by promoter A The link after popularization App of cloth has downloaded this after App is promoted, and the not actuated App to be promoted, then by the App to be promoted Delete, then the App to be promoted re-downloaded by the promoter B App to be promoted issued link, and start the App to be promoted, Now, two corresponding relations are just saved in promotion server, one is that Cookie, the promoter A generated for the terminal is pushed away The corresponding relation of wide person's mark and the App marks of the App to be promoted, another is the Cookie generated for the terminal, promoted The corresponding relation of person B promoter's mark and the App marks of the App to be promoted.So, wait to promote when the user starts this After App, promotion server will find be respectively provided with the Cookie generated and the App to be promoted App mark it is corresponding The promoter of relation is identified with two, i.e. promoter A promoter's mark and promoter B promoter identifies, also cannot be accurate It is promoter A or promoter B really to orient the user really and successfully promoted the promoter of the App to be promoted.
Therefore, in order to more accurately follow the trail of promoter, in the embodiment of the present application, promotion server is being established as terminal What the promoter's mark carried in the Cookie of generation, the first request message and the App carried in the first request message were identified During corresponding relation, it can record at the time of set up the corresponding relation.It is follow-up, promotion server it is determined that with the second request message , then can be each right according to setting up for record when Cookie and the App mark of middle carrying are respectively provided with promoter's mark of corresponding relation At the time of should being related to, it is determined that recently with carried in second request message Cookie and App mark set up pushing away for corresponding relation Wide person's mark, identifies identified promoter using the promoter found and is used as the promoter for having promoted the App to be promoted.
Furthermore, it is contemplated that in actual applications, the Cookie being had been written into the browser of terminal itself is likely to Deleted by user, if the Cookie of generation is written in the browser of terminal by promotion server by above-mentioned steps S202, And in user installation and before starting App to be promoted, namely before step S203, will have been written into terminal browser Cookie is deleted, then in step S203, also will no longer be carried in the second request message that terminal is sent to promotion server There is the Cookie, this, which may result in, can not subsequently track the promoter that the App to be promoted has been promoted to the user.
Therefore, the accuracy of promoter is followed the trail of in order to improve, in the embodiment of the present application, promotion server is taken receiving After first request message of the App marks with promoter's mark and App to be promoted, except to be generation Cookie, and build The promoter's mark carried in the vertical Cookie, first request message and the App marks carried in first request message Corresponding relation outside, the attribute information of the terminal carried in first request message received is also predefined, and set up The promoter's mark carried in the attribute information, first request message and the App marks carried in first request message Corresponding relation.
Wherein, the attribute information of the terminal includes:The network interconnection agreement of the terminal(Internet Protocol, IP) Address information, the type information of the terminal, the browser type information of the terminal, the browser version information of the terminal, the end At least one of the operation system information at end.
Preferably, can be using the type information of the terminal, the browser type information of the terminal, the browser version of the terminal At least one of this information, operation system information of the terminal, and it is used as the terminal with the IP address information combination of the terminal Attribute information.
Specifically, terminal can send the first request message using HTTP, when sending the first request message using HTTP, push away The source IP address of first request message can be defined as the IP address information of the terminal by wide server, and can be using HTTP hairs The type information of the terminal, the browser type information of the terminal, the end are extracted in the header of the first request message sent Browser version information, the operation system information of the terminal at end, so as to determine therefrom that the attribute information of the terminal.
The App for establishing attribute information, promoter mark and the App to be promoted of the terminal identifies the correspondence of this three After relation, if not carrying Cookie in the second request message that terminal is sent to promotion server, promotion server can With the attribute information according to the terminal carried in second request message, the terminal carried in inquiry and second request message Attribute information and App marks are respectively provided with promoter's mark of corresponding relation, the pushing away of the App to be promoted as the popularization tracked Promoter's mark of wide person, is that the App for carrying the App to be promoted is identified certainly, in second request message.Due to promoting clothes That business device is set up is attribute information, promoter mark and the App to be promoted of the terminal carried in the first request message App The corresponding relation of mark, and when inquiring about promoter's mark the second request message for being based on also the terminal is sent, because The attribute information of terminal of the attribute information of the terminal carried in this second request message with being carried in the first request message is phase With, certainly, the App marks of carrying are also identical, so that, even if user deletes the Cookie preserved in terminal, promote Server still can be based on the terminal carried in the second request message attribute information and App mark, accurately track phase The promoter answered.
Certainly, second request message can also be the second request message that terminal uses HTTP to send, when the second request When message is the second request message sent using HTTP, promotion server can also be according to the source IP of second request message Location, and the second request message header, determine the attribute information of the terminal carried in the second request message, here just not Repeat one by one again.
In addition, when the attribute information according to the terminal carried in the second request message and App marks follow the trail of promoter, it is right For the terminal of multiple same models in same local network, the IP address information of these terminals, the type of terminal letter Breath, the browser type information of terminal, the browser version information of terminal, the operation system information of terminal may be also complete phase With, so that the accurate of inquiry can be reduced when inquiring about promoter's mark according to the attribute information for the terminal being made up of above- mentioned information Property.Therefore, the accuracy that promoter identifies is inquired about in order to further improve in the embodiment of the present application, namely improves tracking promoter Accuracy, promoter that promotion server is carried in the attribute information of terminal, the first request message is set up mark and the During the corresponding relation of the App marks carried in one request message, it can also record at the time of set up the corresponding relation.Follow-up, When the attribute information according to the terminal carried in the second request message and App mark inquiry promoter's marks(Second request disappears When the Cookie set by promotion server is not carried in breath), promotion server can be according to each corresponding relation set up of record Moment, it is determined that recently with carried in second request message attribute information and App mark set up corresponding relation promoter mark Know, as the popularization tracked, the promoter of the promoter of the App to be promoted identifies.
For example, the terminal that the terminal that user A is used is used with user B is in same LAN, and A and B terminal Also identical, then the attribute information of the terminal of the two users is also identical.
Assuming that user A clicks the App to be promoted of the issue of promoter 1 link, have sent first to promotion server please Message is sought, then promotion server establishes the attribute information for the terminal that A is used, the promoter of the promoter 1 identifies and this is treated Promote the corresponding relation of App App marks(Certainly, Cookie, the promoter of promoter 1 of the terminal generation for A are also established The corresponding relation of mark and the App to be promoted App marks).
After this, if user B clicks the App to be promoted of the issue of promoter 2 link, also sent out to promotion server The first request message is sent, then promotion server also sets up the attribute information for the terminal that B is used, promoter's mark of promoter 2 And the corresponding relation of the App marks of the App to be promoted.
And the attribute information due to the A terminals used is identical with the attribute information of the B terminals used, therefore, in root The App mark inquiries of the attribute information and the App to be promoted of the terminal carried in the second request message sent according to B are pushed away to B It is wide this when App promoter is promoted(Promotion server is deleted by B for the Cookie that B terminal is generated), can inquire Two and the attribute information of the terminal and the App to be promoted promoter mark of the App marks with corresponding relation, i.e. promoter 1 promoter's mark and the promoter of promoter 2 identify.Now, due to recently with the attribute information of the terminal and this wait to push away Promoter's mark that wide App App marks set up corresponding relation is promoter's mark of promoter 2, and therefore, promotion server will The promoter that promoter's mark of the promoter 2 has promoted the promoter for waiting App to be promoted to B as determination identifies, and subsequently may be used The promoter of the promoter 2 found mark is returned into the corresponding application servers of the App to be promoted, makes the App to be promoted Developer(Advertiser)Know that to the B promoters for having promoted the App to be promoted be promoter 2, rather than promoter 1.
The detailed process for the tracking promoter that Fig. 3 provides for the embodiment of the present application, specifically includes following steps:
S301:Promotion server receiving terminal is clicked when App link is promoted in user, is received and sent based on the chain First request message.
S302:Unique Cookie is generated for the terminal, and determines the attribute of the terminal carried in the first request message Information, sets up in the promoter's mark carried in the Cookie generated, first request message and first request message The corresponding relation of the App to be promoted carried App marks, sets up carrying in the attribute information of the terminal, first request message Promoter mark and first request message in carry App to be promoted App mark corresponding relation, by generation this Cookie returns to terminal.
S303:Receiving terminal is in the user installation and starts second request message sent when App is promoted.
S304:Judge whether carry Cookie in the second request message received, if so, then execution step S305, no Then perform step S306.
S305:Promotion server determines Cookie and App mark foundation pair recently with being carried in second request message The promoter's mark that should be related to, as the popularization tracked, the promoter of the promoter of the App to be promoted identifies.
S306:Promotion server determines that the attribute information of terminal and App recently with being carried in second request message are marked Know and set up the promoter of corresponding relation and identify, the promoter of the promoter of the App to be promoted as the popularization tracked Mark.
Above is the method for the tracking promoter that the embodiment of the present application is provided, based on same thinking, the embodiment of the present application The method for additionally providing another tracking promoter, as shown in Figure 4.
The process for another tracking promoter that Fig. 4 provides for the embodiment of the present application, specifically includes following steps:
S401:Promotion server receiving terminal is clicked when App link is promoted in user, is received and sent based on the chain First request message.
Wherein, first request message is terminal by downloading this wait the link for promoting App when App is promoted to popularization What server was sent, the promoter's mark for the promoter for issuing the link is carried in first request message.
S402:According to the promoter's mark carried in first request message, generation is identified comprising the promoter Cookie, terminal is returned to by the Cookie of generation.
In the embodiment of the present application, promoter's mark of promoter is carried in first request message sent due to terminal Know, therefore, promotion server can directly generate the Cookie identified comprising the promoter, and the Cookie is returned into terminal, To be written in the browser of terminal.
Preferably, in order to more accurately follow the trail of promoter, terminal can also be sent while carrying promoter identifies and should First request message of App to be promoted App marks, then in step S402, promotion server can disappear according to first request The promoter's mark carried in breath is with App marks, the Cookie that generation is identified comprising the promoter and the App is identified, and should Cookie returns to terminal, to be written in the browser of terminal.
S403:When receiving the carryings Cookie the second request message of terminal transmission, this second is asked to disappear Cease the promoter's mark included in the Cookie carried, the popularization of the promoter of the App to be promoted as the popularization tracked Person identifies.
