Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a software management method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

in the embodiment of the present invention, the content executed by each step is summarized as follows:

step S110: receiving a version rollback instruction input by a user for software;

step S120: judging whether a first version currently installed by the software and at least one second version lower than the first version meet a version rollback rule or not;

Step S130: if yes, collecting related information for version rollback of the software; and

step S140: and executing the version rollback operation of the software according to the related information.

the embodiment of the invention provides a software management method, which judges whether a first version currently installed by software and at least one second version lower than the first version meet a version rollback rule or not according to a received version rollback instruction input by a user aiming at the software, provides necessary precondition for the rollback operation of the subsequent execution software, simultaneously ensures the safety of the installed software of the at least one second version lower than the first version, and ensures the data safety of the user; if the judgment result shows that the version rollback rule is met, collecting relevant information for performing version rollback on the software, executing the version rollback operation of the software according to the relevant information, rapidly unloading and installing the software in the software rollback process, ensuring zero operation of a user in the unloading and installing process, realizing automatic unloading and installing, automatically realizing personalized demand configuration of the user in the unloading and installing process, and greatly improving user experience. The following further explains the specific implementation of each step:

Step S110: and receiving a version rollback instruction input by a user for the software.

Specifically, the rollback instruction may be a button on a human-computer interaction interface, or an instruction input by a user through a command line, and the like, and the present invention is not limited to these forms as long as it can instruct an operation of software rollback.

For example, in the terminal device, the user clicks a rollback button for the flight signal QQ in the management software a through the human-computer interaction interface, and the management software a may receive a version rollback instruction for the flight signal QQ, such as "rollback".

step S120: it is determined whether a first version of the software currently installed and at least a second version lower than the first version satisfy version rollback rules.

specifically, if the software has a plurality of lower versions before the currently installed version (the first version) of the software, the version rollback operation may rollback to the previous lower version, or any one of the lower versions, or a specific one of the lower versions according to the specification of the user.

for example, in the terminal device, when the user clicks a rollback button for the vacation QQ in the management software a, the management software a may receive a version rollback instruction "rollback" for the vacation QQ, and then determine whether the version currently installed in the vacation QQ, such as "V7.0" and a version "V6.0" lower than the version "V7.0", satisfy the version rollback rule.

in a preferred embodiment, the step of determining whether the first version currently installed in the software and at least one second version lower than the first version satisfy the version rollback rule in step S120 specifically includes step S121 (not shown), step S122 (not shown), and step S123 (not shown):

Step S121: acquiring identification information of a first version and identification information of a second version;

step S122: judging whether the first version of the software supports silent uninstallation or not according to the identification information of the first version;

step S123: and judging whether the second version of the software supports silent installation according to the identification information of the second version.

For example, in the terminal device, the user clicks a rollback button for the flight QQ in the management software a, the management software a may receive a version rollback instruction "rollback" for the flight QQ, then obtain identification information of a currently installed version of the flight QQ, such as "V7.0," to support silent uninstallation "by reading a script file storing the flight QQ in the terminal device, send a request for obtaining a script file of the" V6.0 "version of the flight QQ to the cloud server, the cloud server returns the script file of the" V6.0 "version of the flight QQ in response to the request, and then obtain identification information of the" V6.0 "version of the flight QQ, such as" V6.0, "to support silent installation" through the script file. According to the identification information "V7.0" of the currently installed version of the Tencent QQ, the information that the "version of the Tencent QQ" V7.0 "supports silent uninstallation" can judge that the "version of the Tencent QQ" V7.0 "supports silent uninstallation, and the identification information" V6.0 "of the" version of the Tencent QQ "V6.0" supports silent installation "can judge that the" version of the "V7.0" and the "version of the" V6.0 "currently installed in the Tencent QQ support silent installation, so that the" version of the "V7.0" and the "version of the" V6.0 "currently installed in the Tencent Q.

it should be understood by those skilled in the art that one or more information (e.g., script file, identification information, etc.) involved in the above determining step can be stored locally or in a cloud in any form, and the present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limited thereto.

step S130: and if so, collecting relevant information for version rollback of the software.

specifically, if the software satisfies the version rollback rule, preparation for version rollback needs to be done first, that is, relevant information for the first version and the second version of the software needs to be collected.

Wherein the installation information corresponding to the second version includes: and the silent installation configuration information corresponding to the second version and the download address information of the software second version installation package.

wherein the quiet installation configuration information corresponding to the second version includes at least one of: installation path information of the software; registry information for the software; identity identification information of the software; authorization information of the software; and user's setup information during the software installation process.

Wherein the muting offload configuration information corresponding to the first version comprises at least one of: running configuration information corresponding to the first version; personal information of the user; the recorded information that the user retains during use of the first version.

For example, in the terminal device, a user clicks a rollback button for the flight information QQ in the management software a, the management software a may receive a version rollback instruction "rollback" for the flight information QQ, and when it is determined that the "V7.0" version and the lower "V6.0" version currently installed in the flight information QQ satisfy the version rollback rule, obtain, from the cloud or locally, the silent uninstall configuration information corresponding to the "V7.0" version of the flight information QQ for the user, such as configuration parameters for determining whether personal information of the user is reserved or not, and whether chat records of the user are deleted or not; and acquiring silent installation configuration information corresponding to the version of Tencent QQ 'V6.0' of the user from the cloud or the local, wherein the silent installation configuration information comprises installation path information of Tencent QQ, registry information of Tencent QQ, identification information of Tencent QQ, such as version number information, authorization information of Tencent QQ, authorization information, such as copyright information, serial number information, registration code information and the like, setting information of the user in the software installation process, such as setting information of skin color of a software interface, setting information of font size, setting information of interface style and the like, and downloading address information of an installation package of the version of Tencent QQ 'V6.0'.

it should be understood by those skilled in the art that one or more information (e.g., the silent uninstall configuration information, the silent install configuration information, the download address information of the second version of the installation package, etc.) involved in the above collection process may be stored in any form in the local or cloud end, and the present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limited thereto.

in a preferred embodiment, steps S120 and S130 can be performed before step S110. For example, the management software a may periodically/regularly determine whether the software satisfies the rollback rule, or may determine whether the "V7.0" version currently installed in the flight QQ and the old version of the "V6.0" version in the flight QQ satisfy the version rollback rule after the flight QQ is upgraded (upgraded to the "V7.0" version), collect relevant information about version rollback for the flight QQ when the "V7.0" version currently installed in the flight QQ and the old version of the flight QQ "V6.0" version satisfy the version rollback rule, and then, when the user clicks the rollback button for the flight QQ in the management software a, execute the version rollback operation of the software according to the collected relevant information about version rollback for the flight QQ.

By the embodiment, the operation of software version rollback can be quickly executed, the response time of user operation is reduced, and the user experience is greatly improved.

Specifically, a version rollback operation of the software is performed in accordance with the collected information about the first and second versions of the software.

for example, in the previous example, the version of the update signal QQ "V7.0" is unloaded silently according to the acquired silent unloading configuration information corresponding to the version of the update signal QQ "V7.0" that is subjected to version rollback for the update signal QQ, the silent installation configuration information corresponding to the version of the update signal QQ "V6.0" and the download address information of the installation package of the version of the update signal QQ "V6.0"; and then, searching an installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation locally, if the installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation does not exist locally, acquiring the installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation according to the download address information of the installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation, and then running the acquired installation package to install the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation.

The process of searching the installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation locally and the process of acquiring the installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation according to the download address information of the installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation can be executed before unloading the Tencent QQ 'V7.0' version of silent installation, or can be executed after the completion of unloading the Tencent QQ 'V7.0' version of silent installation, or the process of searching the installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation locally can not be executed, and the installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of silent installation can be acquired directly according to the download address information of the installation package meeting the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version of installation.

In a preferred embodiment, the step of executing the version rollback operation of the software according to the related information in step S140 specifically includes step S141 (not shown in the figure) and step S142 (not shown in the figure):

step S141: quiescing a first version of uninstalled software according to quiesce uninstall configuration information corresponding to the first version;

step S142: quiescing the second version of the installed software in accordance with installation information corresponding to the second version.

For example, in the terminal device, a user clicks a rollback button for the flight signal QQ in the management software a, the management software a may receive a version rollback instruction "rollback ═ true" for the flight signal QQ, and when it is determined that the "V7.0" version currently installed in the flight signal QQ and the old version of the flight signal QQ "V6.0" satisfy the version rollback rule, obtain, from the local or cloud, the silent uninstall configuration information corresponding to the "V7.0" version of the flight signal QQ, and obtain, from the local or cloud, the silent install configuration information corresponding to the "V6.0" version of the flight signal QQ, and the download address information of the installation package of the "V6.0" version of the flight signal QQ; then, in the unloading process, unloading information is automatically configured according to the silent unloading configuration information corresponding to the Tencent QQ 'V7.0' version, and the silent unloading Tencent QQ 'V7.0' version is completed; acquiring an installation package of the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version meeting silent installation according to the download address information of the installation package of the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version, then automatically configuring installation information according to silent installation configuration information corresponding to the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version in the installation process, and then finishing silent installation of the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' version.

specifically, step S141 may further include step S1411 (not shown in the figure) and step S1412 (not shown in the figure):

step S1411: setting uninstalling configuration parameters of the first version of the software according to the silent uninstalling configuration information corresponding to the first version;

Step S1412: and silencing the first version of the uninstalled software according to the set uninstalling configuration parameters of the first version of the software.

For example, in the terminal device, a user clicks a rollback button for the flight signal QQ in the management software a, the management software a may receive a version rollback instruction "rollback ═ true" for the flight signal QQ, and when it is determined that the "V7.0" version currently installed in the flight signal QQ and the old version of the flight signal QQ "V6.0" satisfy the version rollback rule, obtain, from the local or cloud, the silent uninstall configuration information corresponding to the "V7.0" version of the flight signal QQ, and obtain, from the local or cloud, the silent install configuration information corresponding to the "V6.0" version of the flight signal QQ, and the download address information of the installation package of the "V6.0" version of the flight signal QQ; then, in the unloading process, according to the silent unloading configuration information corresponding to the version of the Tencent QQ 'V7.0', the operation parameters of the version of the Tencent QQ 'V7.0' are automatically configured and unloaded, for example, the font size setting parameter of the version of the Tencent QQ 'V7.0' in the current operation process is automatically selected and deleted, the setting parameter of the software appearance skin color of the version of the Tencent QQ 'V7.0' in the current operation process is automatically selected and deleted, and the user parameters of the version of the Tencent QQ 'V7.0' are automatically configured, for example, the personal information option of the user is automatically selected and deleted, the chat record option of the user is automatically selected and deleted, and then the version of the silent unloading QQ 'V7.0' is completed.

Preferably, the step S142 may further include a step S1421 (not shown), a step S1422 (not shown), and a step S1423 (not shown):

step S1421: acquiring an installation package of a second version of the software according to the download address information of the installation package of the second version of the software;

Step S1422: setting installation configuration parameters of the second version of the software according to the silent installation configuration information corresponding to the second version;

Step S1423: and quiescing the second version of the software according to the set installation configuration parameters of the second version of the software and the installation package of the second version of the software.

for example, in the above example, the installation package of the Tencent QQ "V6.0" version meeting the silent installation can be obtained according to the download address information of the installation package of the Tencent QQ "V6.0" version, then in the installation process, according to the silent installation configuration information corresponding to the Tencent QQ "V6.0" version, the installation information is automatically configured, for example, the configuration information such as the installation path, the skin color of the software interface, the font size, the interface style and the like is automatically set, and then the silent installation of the Tencent QQ "V6.0" version is completed.

In a preferred embodiment, the method further comprises step S150 (not shown in the figure):

Step S150: and adding the first version into an upgrade omission list of the software.

For example, as in the previous example, after the version of the Tencent QQ 'V6.0' is installed in a silent manner, the version information of the version of the Tencent QQ 'V7.0' is stored in the script file which is ignored by upgrading the Tencent QQ in the local/cloud end; version information for ignoring upgrade, such as "V7.0", for the vacation signal QQ may also be stored in a software override upgrade list for the user "Tom" in the cloud/local according to the user information of the management software a, such as the user name "Tom". Wherein, the user can manually change the script file or the software ignores the upgrade list, so that the user can upgrade to the version of Tencent QQ 'V7.0'.

In a preferred embodiment, the method further comprises step S160 (not shown in the figure):

Step S160: and recommending other software of the same type as the software to the user according to the information of the software.

For example, in the terminal device, the user clicks the rollback button for the flight signal QQ in the management software a, the management software a may receive the version rollback instruction "rollback ═ true" for the flight signal QQ, when the version V7.0 currently installed in the Tencent QQ and the old version V6.0 currently installed in the Tencent QQ meet the version rollback rule, the version V7.0 currently installed in the Tencent QQ is unloaded in a silent manner, in the process of unloading the version of the Tencent QQ 'V7.0' in the silent state, a request for inquiring other instant chat software is sent to the cloud server according to the function type of the Tencent QQ as the instant chat software, and receives the recommendation information of other similar software of the instant chat tool fed back by the cloud server, and in the unloading frame of the silent unloading human-computer interaction interface, other software similar to the instant chat tool, such as 'WeChat computer edition', 'Aliwang buyer edition', and the like, is recommended to the user.

Preferably, step S160 may further include step S161 (not shown in the figure) and step S162 (not shown in the figure):
