Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to an application association method and apparatus.
Background
With the development of terminal technology, the amount of information is increasing, and the amount of files for storing information is also increasing. In order to facilitate a user to browse files on the terminal, the file type of the file is typically associated with an application installed in the terminal. After the file type is associated with the application, if the user triggers an open instruction of the file belonging to the file type, the terminal directly uses the application to open the file.
At present, when a terminal installs an operating system, a file type is often associated to an application which is issued by a developer of the operating system and can open a file belonging to the file type by default. However, since most applications published by developers of operating systems are much less applicable than applications published by developers other than operating systems, users often need to manually re-associate file types to other suitable applications. At this time, before the user performs the association operation on each application re-associated, the user needs to perform operations such as searching, downloading, and installing.
When the user manually re-associates the file type with other suitable applications, operations such as searching, downloading, installing and the like are required to be performed on each application, so that the association process is complicated. In addition, a user will not be able to accurately re-associate file types without knowing which file types are associated to applications published by the developer of the operating system, or which application the file types should be re-associated with.

and the association module is used for associating the second type of application with a target file type to which the file which can be opened by the second type of application belongs.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention has the following beneficial effects: in the embodiment of the present invention, information of an application associated with each file type recorded in a stored registry may be acquired, and at least one target file type associated with an installed first type of application is determined based on the information of the application associated with each file type. To enable reassociation of the at least one target file type, for each file type of the at least one target file type, a second class of applications capable of opening files belonging to the target file type may be determined. And then, the second type of application and the target file type to which the file which can be opened by the second type of application belongs can be associated, so that the re-association of the at least one target file type is accurately realized. In the association process, before the user performs the association operation on the second type of application, the user does not need to perform operations such as searching, downloading and installing on the second type of application separately, so that the application association is simpler and more efficient.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Before explaining the embodiments of the present invention in detail, an application scenario of the embodiments of the present invention will be described. At present, when a terminal installs an operating system, a file type is often associated to an application which is issued by a developer of the operating system and can open a file belonging to the file type by default. However, since most applications published by developers of operating systems are far less applicable than applications published by developers other than developers of operating systems, embodiments of the present invention provide an application association method to simply and efficiently re-associate file types to other suitable applications.
It should be noted that the application association method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a terminal, where the terminal may be a Computer, a smart phone, a tablet Computer, a notebook Computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), an UMPC (Ultra-mobile Personal Computer), and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. The terminal may be installed with an operating system, which may be a Windows system, such as a Windows8 system, a Windows10 system, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.
Fig. 1A is a flowchart of an application association method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a terminal. Referring to fig. 1A, the method includes:
step 101: and acquiring information of the application associated with each file type recorded in the stored registry.
Since the association of the file type and the application is generally described in the registry, the information of the application associated with each file type recorded in the registry can be obtained by scanning the registry. Specifically, a plurality of stored keys can be acquired from a first preset path of the registry; for each key of the plurality of keys, obtaining a stored data value of a value item having a specified name from under a second preset path of the key; and determining the acquired data value as the information of the application associated with the file type corresponding to the key.
It should be noted that both the first preset path and the second preset path may be preset, where the first preset path is used to indicate the storage locations of the plurality of keys, and the second preset path is used to indicate the storage locations of the data values of the value items with the specified names.
In addition, the designated name may be set in advance, for example, the designated name may be ProgId.
Furthermore, the plurality of keys are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of file types, and the key name of each key includes information for indicating the file type. For example, the plurality of keys are key 1 and key 2, and the key name of key 1 is. ace, and the key name of key 2 is. adt, then the file type corresponding to key 1 is. ace, and the file type corresponding to key 2 is. adt.
For example, the first predetermined path is computer \ HKEY _ CURRENT _ USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ fileexists, and the second predetermined path is userchice, which is designated as ProgId. At this time, a plurality of stored keys with key names of "ace", "adt", and "adts … …" may be obtained under the first preset path of the registry shown in fig. 1B, that is, the plurality of keys correspond to the plurality of file types of "ace", "adt", and "adts … … one to one. Then, for each key in the plurality of keys, as for the key with the key name of adts, the stored data value of the value item with the specified name ProgId is acquired as AppXqj98qxeaynz6dv from the second preset path of the key, and the acquired data value AppXqj98qxeaynz6dv is determined as the information of the application to which the adts is associated.
Step 102: at least one target file type associated with the installed first type of application is determined based on information of the application associated with each file type.
It should be noted that the first type of application is an application issued by a developer of an installed operating system. For example, when the installed operating system is a Windows system, the first type of application may be an application issued by a developer of the Windows system, such as some network applications, native applications, hybrid applications, and so on. The native application is an application capable of being directly run in an operating system, the web application is a web application which needs to be run in a browser, the hybrid application is a combination of the native application and the web application, one part of the hybrid application can be directly run in the operating system, and the other part of the hybrid application needs to be run in the browser.
Specifically, step 102 may be implemented in two ways.
The first mode is as follows: for each file type, when the information of the application associated with the file type comprises the information of the first type of application, determining that the file type is the target file type.
It should be noted that the information of the first type application may be set in advance, for example, the information of the first type application may be App.
In addition, in the first manner, when the information of the application associated with the file type includes the information of the first type of application, the file type is directly determined to be the target file type, so that the reassociation of all the file types associated with the first type of application is conveniently realized subsequently.
For example, if the information of the first type of application is App, and the information of the application associated with the file type is App xqj98qxeaynz6dv, it may be determined that the information of the application associated with the file type includes the information of the first type of application, and it is determined that the file type is the target file type.
The second mode is as follows: for each file type, when the information of the application associated with the file type comprises the information of the first type of application, acquiring the type of the file type; and when the file type is the specified type, determining that the file type is the target file type.
It should be noted that, in the second manner, the information of the application associated with the file type includes information of the first type of application, and when the type of the file type is a specific type, the file type is determined to be the target file type, so that the re-association of part of the file types in all the file types associated with the first type of application is conveniently implemented subsequently.
In addition, the designated category may be set in advance, for example, the designated category may be a picture category, an audio category, or the like.
For example, if the information of the first type application is App, and the information of the application associated with the file type is App xqj98qxeaynz6dv, it may be determined that the information of the application associated with the file type includes the information of the first type application. Then, the category of the file type is obtained. If the category of the file type is a photo category and the designated category is a photo category, the category of the file type can be determined as the designated category, and the file type is determined as the target file type.
When the category of the file type is obtained, a corresponding category may be obtained from the correspondence between the stored file types and the categories based on the file type, and the obtained category is the category of the file type. Of course, the category of the file type may also be obtained in other ways, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
For example, if the file type is jpg, the corresponding category is obtained as a picture class from the correspondence between the file type and the category shown in table 1 below, and the picture class is the category of the file type jpg.
TABLE 1
| File type | Categories |
| .jpg、.bmp、.png…… | Pictures and the like |
| .mp3、.aac、.wma…… | Audio class |
| …… | …… |
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, only the correspondence between the file types and the categories shown in table 1 is used as an example for description, and table 1 does not limit the embodiment of the present invention.
Step 103: for each target file type of the at least one target file type, a second type of application capable of opening a file belonging to the target file type is determined.
It should be noted that the second type of application is an application released by a developer other than the developer of the operating system, and the applicability of the second type of application is higher than that of the first type of application. For example, when the operating system is a Windows system, the second type of application may be an application released by a developer other than the developer of the Windows system, such as some native applications, web applications, hybrid applications, and the like.
In addition, there may be one or more second applications capable of opening the file belonging to the target file type, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
Since one application may typically open a file of any one of a plurality of file types belonging to the same category, for each of the at least one target file type, the operation of determining a second type of application capable of opening a file belonging to the target file type may be: classifying the at least one target file type to obtain at least one file type set; and for each file type set in the at least one file type set, determining a second type application corresponding to the file type set.
It should be noted that the second type application corresponding to the set of file types can open a file belonging to any target file type included in the set of file types. For example, the set of file types includes a target file type, jpg and bmp, and the second type application corresponding to the set of file types is application 1, then application 1 can open a file belonging to the target file type, jpg, and can also open a file belonging to the target file type, bmp.
When the at least one target file type is classified, the category of each target file type in the at least one target file type can be obtained; and dividing the target file types in the same category into a file type set. For example, the at least one target file type is jpg,. bmp,. png,. mp3,. aac and.wma, and the categories of jpg,. bmp,. png are all picture categories, and the categories of. mp3,. aac,. wma are all audio categories, then the target file types under the picture categories jpg,. bmp,. png can be divided into a set of file types, and the target file types under the audio categories, mp3,. aac,. wma, can be divided into a set of file types, so that two sets of file types are obtained.
The operation of obtaining the category of each target file type in the at least one target file type is similar to the operation of obtaining the category of the file type in step 102, and details of the embodiment of the present invention are omitted here.
In practical applications, after the at least one file type set is obtained, for each file type set in the at least one file type set, the file type set and a category of a target file type included in the file type set may be stored correspondingly, so that a subsequent user may know the category corresponding to the file type set. For example, the at least one set of file types is set 1 of file types and set 2 of file types, the set 1 of file types including a target file type under a picture class jpg,. bmp,. png, and the set 2 of file types including a target file type under an audio class mp3,. aac,. wma. At this time, the file type set and the category may be stored in association with each other in a storage format as shown in table 2 below.
TABLE 2
| Categories | DocumentType set |
| Pictures and the like | .jpg、.bmp、.png |
| Audio class | .mp3、.aac、.wma |
In the embodiment of the present invention, only the storage format shown in table 2 is taken as an example for description, and table 2 does not limit the embodiment of the present invention.
For each file type set in the at least one file type set, the operation of determining the second type application corresponding to the file type set may be implemented in the following two ways.
The first mode is as follows: sending an application identifier acquisition request carrying the at least one file type set to a server so that the server acquires a second type of application identifier corresponding to each file type set; when a second type application identifier corresponding to each file type set sent by the server is received, determining the second type application identified by the second type application identifier corresponding to each file type set as the second type application corresponding to each file type set.
It should be noted that the application identifier obtaining request is used to request to obtain the second type application identifier corresponding to each of the multiple file type sets.
In addition, the second type application identifier corresponding to each file type set is used to uniquely identify the second type application corresponding to each file type set, for example, the second type application identifier corresponding to each file type set may be an application name, an application icon, and the like of the second type application corresponding to each file type set.
When the server obtains the second-class application identifier corresponding to each file type set, the server may obtain the corresponding second-class application from the corresponding relationship between the file type and the second-class application based on the target file type included in each file type set, and determine the second-class application identifier for identifying the second-class application as the second-class application identifier corresponding to the file type set.
For example, the file type set is a file type set 1, and the file type set 1 includes the target file types of jpg,. bmp,. png, then based on the target file types of jpg,. bmp and. png included in the file type set 1, the corresponding second type application is obtained as application 1 from the correspondence between the file types and the second type applications as shown in the following table 3. Thereafter, the application identifier 1 for identifying the application 1 may be determined as the second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set 1.
TABLE 3
| File type | Applications of the second kind |
| .jpg、.bmp、.png…… | Applications 1 |
| .mp3、.aac、.wma…… | Application 3, application 5 |
| …… | …… |
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, only the correspondence between the file types and the second type of applications shown in table 3 is described as an example, and table 3 does not limit the embodiment of the present invention.
The second mode is as follows: for each file type set in the at least one file type set, judging whether a second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set is stored; when the second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set is stored, determining the second type application identified by the second type application identifier as the second type application corresponding to the file type set; and when the second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set is not stored, acquiring the second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set from the server, and determining the second type application identified by the acquired second type application identifier as the second type application corresponding to the file type set.
When judging whether the second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set is stored, searching the corresponding second type application identifier from the corresponding relation between the stored file type and the second type application identifier based on the target file type included in the file type set; when the corresponding second type application identification is found, determining that the second type application identification corresponding to the stored file type set is the found second type application identification; and when the corresponding second type application identification is not found, determining that the second type application identification corresponding to the file type set is not stored.
For example, the file type set is a file type set 1, and the file type set 1 includes a target file type, jpg,. bmp,. png, then based on the target file type included in the file type set 1, jpg,. bmp,. png, the corresponding second type application identifier is found to be an application identifier 1 from the correspondence between the file type and the second type application identifier shown in the following table 4, at this time, the second type application identifier corresponding to the stored file type set 1 may be determined, and the second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set 1 is determined to be the application identifier 1.
For another example, the set of file types is a set of file types 5, where the set of file types 5 includes a target file type adt, and then the corresponding second type application identifier may be searched for from the corresponding relationship between the file type and the second type application identifier shown in the following table 4 based on the target file type adt included in the set of file types 5. Since the corresponding second type application identifier cannot be found, it can be determined that the second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set 5 is not stored.
TABLE 4
| File type | Second type application identification |
| .jpg、.bmp、.png…… | Application identifier 1 |
| .mp3、.aac、.wma…… | Application identifier 3, application identifier 5 |
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, only the correspondence between the file type and the second type application identifier shown in table 4 is described as an example, and table 4 does not limit the embodiment of the present invention.
The operation of obtaining the second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set from the server is similar to the operation of obtaining the second type application identifier corresponding to each file type set from the server in the first manner, which is not described in detail in this embodiment of the present invention.
Further, when the server sends the second type application identifier corresponding to a certain file type set to the terminal, the server may also send the application information of the second type application identified by the second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set to the terminal, so that a subsequent terminal may download the second type application based on the application information of the second type application.
It should be noted that the application information of the second type of application at least includes a download link of the second type of application, and may also include an application name, an application icon, a summary description, and the like of the second type of application.
Further, after the second type application corresponding to each file type set is determined, the configuration information may also be generated based on the category corresponding to each file type set and the second type application identifier. At this time, the terminal may associate the second type of application with the target file type based on the configuration information in the following, and the terminal may further display the configuration information through a User Interface (UI), so that the user may know the target file type associated with the first type of application and the second type of application to which the target file type should be re-associated.
For example, the at least one set of file types is set of file types 1 and set of file types 2. The file type set 1 comprises target file types of jpg,. bmp,. png, and the category corresponding to the file type set 1 is a picture category, and the corresponding second application identifier is an application identifier 1. The file type set 2 includes target file types mp3,. aac,. wma, and the corresponding category of the file type set 2 is audio class, and the corresponding second class application identifier is application identifier 3 and application identifier 5. At this time, based on the category corresponding to each set of file types and the second type application id, the generated configuration information may be as shown in table 5 below.
TABLE 5
| Categories | File type set | Second type application identification |
| Pictures and the like | .jpg、.bmp、.png | Application identifier 1 |
| Audio class | .mp3、.aac、.wma | Application identifier 3, applicationMark 5 |
In the embodiment of the present invention, only the configuration information shown in table 5 is taken as an example for description, and table 5 does not limit the embodiment of the present invention.
Step 104: and associating the second type of application with a target file type to which the file which can be opened by the second type of application belongs.
Specifically, the second type of application may be directly and automatically associated with a target file type to which a file that can be opened by the second type of application belongs; or, the second type application identifier for identifying the second type application may be displayed first, and when the association instruction of the second type application identifier is received, the step of associating the second type application with the target file type to which the file that can be opened by the second type application belongs may be performed.
It should be noted that the association instruction is used to instruct to associate the second type application identified by the second type application identifier with the target file type to which the file that can be opened by the second type application belongs. The association instruction may be triggered by a user, and the user may trigger the association instruction through a first specified operation, where the first specified operation may be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a voice operation, or the like.
In practical applications, when a second type application identifier for identifying the second type application is displayed, the terminal may directly display the configuration information, at this time, an association instruction of the second type application identifier may be triggered by a user based on the displayed configuration information, and an operation of associating the second type application with a target file type to which a file that can be opened by the second type application belongs may also be performed based on the configuration information. Specifically, after the terminal displays the configuration information, the user may perform a second specifying operation on the content in the configuration information to trigger a display instruction of a second type application identifier corresponding to the content in the configuration information; when the terminal detects the display instruction of the second type application identifier, the second type application identifier can be displayed in a list form; after the second type application identifier is displayed in a list form, a user can perform a first specified operation on the second type application identifier included in the list to trigger an associated instruction of the second type application identifier; when the terminal detects the association instruction of the second type application identifier, the second type application identified by the second type application identifier may be associated with the target file type included in the file type set corresponding to the second type application identifier in the configuration information.
It should be noted that the display instruction is used to instruct to display the second type application identifier corresponding to the content in the configuration information in a form of a list, and the display instruction may be triggered by a user, and the user may trigger through a second specified operation, where the second specified operation may be a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a voice operation, and the like.
For example, if the user performs a second specified operation on the content "audio class" in the configuration information shown in table 5 above, a display instruction of the second type application identifier corresponding to the "audio class" in the configuration information is triggered. When the terminal detects the display instruction of the second type application identifier, namely the application identifier 3 and the application identifier 5, is displayed in a list form. Assuming that the application identifier 3 is an application name "music" and a corresponding application icon, and the application identifier 5 is an application name "audio-visual" and a corresponding application icon, the application identifier 3 and the application identifier 5 may be displayed in a list form as shown in fig. 1C. Assuming that the user performs a first specified operation on "music" and a corresponding application icon included in the list shown in fig. 1C, an associated instruction of the application identifier 3 is triggered; when the terminal detects the association command of the application identifier 3, the second type of application identified by the application identifier 3 may be associated with the target file type of mp3,. aac,. wma included in the file type set corresponding to the application identifier 3 in the configuration information.
Since the file type is usually associated with the installed application, before associating the second type of application with the target file type to which the file that can be opened by the second type of application belongs, it can be determined whether the second type of application is installed; when the second type of application is installed, directly executing the step of associating the second type of application with a target file type to which a file which can be opened by the second type of application belongs; and when the second type of application is not installed, acquiring the application information of the second type of application, downloading and installing the second type of application based on the application information of the second type of application, and executing the step of associating the second type of application with a target file type to which a file which can be opened by the second type of application belongs.
When acquiring the application information of the second type of application, if the server sends the second type of application identifier corresponding to a certain file type set, the server also sends the application information of the second type of application identified by the second type of application identifier to the terminal, and the terminal can directly acquire the stored application information of the second type of application; if the server does not send the application information of the second type of application identified by the second type of application identifier to the terminal when sending the second type of application identifier corresponding to a certain file type set, the terminal may obtain the application information of the second type of application from the server.
Further, an operation flow of the application association method provided by the embodiment of the present invention in the case of user interaction is described with reference to fig. 1D, where an execution subject of the application association method may be a specific application installed in the terminal, and the specific application may be an application for managing an application, and the like.
In step 1, the user starts a re-association function in the specified application.
It should be noted that the user may start a re-association function in the specified application through a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a voice operation, and the like, where the re-association function is used to re-associate a target file type associated with the installed first type application to the second type application.
In step 2, at least one target file type associated with the first type of application is determined when the designated application detects that the re-association function is initiated.
It should be noted that the operation of determining at least one target file type associated with the first type of application may be implemented by steps 101 and 102 described above.
In step 3, the designated application classifies the at least one target file type to obtain at least one file type set.
It should be noted that the operation of classifying the at least one target file type to obtain at least one file type set may be implemented by the related operation in step 103.
In step 4, the designated application determines a second type of application corresponding to each of the at least one set of file types.
It should be noted that the operation of determining the second type application corresponding to each file type set in the at least one file type set may be implemented by the related operation in step 103.
In step 5, the designated application displays the at least one file type set and the second type application identifier corresponding to each file type set.
For example, the at least one set of file types and the second type application identifier corresponding to each set of file types may be displayed in the form of the configuration information shown in table 5 above.
In step 6, the user performs a second specifying operation on a certain set of file types or a certain second type application identifier to trigger a display instruction of the corresponding second type application identifier.
It should be noted that, when a user performs a second specified operation on a certain file type set, a display instruction of a second type application identifier corresponding to the file type set is triggered. When a user performs a second specified operation on a certain second type application identifier, a display instruction of the second type application identifier corresponding to the same file type set as the second type application identifier is triggered.
In step 7, when the designated application detects a second designation operation of the user on a certain file type set or a certain second type application identifier, the corresponding second type application identifier is displayed in a list form.
For example, the corresponding second type application identifications may be displayed in a list as shown in FIG. 1C.
In step 8, the user performs a first specified operation on the second type application identifier included in the displayed list to trigger an associated instruction of the second type application identifier.
It should be noted that the association instruction of the second type application identifier is used to instruct to associate the second type application identified by the second type application identifier with the target file type to which the file that can be opened by the second type application belongs, that is, to associate the second type application identified by the second type application identifier with the target file type included in the file type set corresponding to the second type application identifier.
In step 9, when the designated application detects a first designated operation of the user on the second type application identifier, associating the second type application identified by the second type application identifier with a target file type to which a file that can be opened by the second type application belongs.
It should be noted that, if the second type application identified by the second type application identifier is not installed, the specified application may automatically download and install the second type application, and then automatically associate the second type application with the target file type to which the file that can be opened by the second type application belongs.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may obtain information of an application associated with each file type recorded in the stored registry, and determine at least one target file type associated with the installed first type of application based on the information of the application associated with each file type, and since the first type of application is an application issued by a developer of the operating system, a user can know a target file type of an application issued by the developer associated to the operating system by default at this time. In order to be able to re-associate the at least one target file type, for each of the at least one target file type, the terminal may determine a second type of application that is able to open a file belonging to the target file type. And then, the terminal can associate the second type of application with the target file type to which the file which can be opened by the second type of application belongs, so that the re-association of the at least one target file type is accurately realized. In the association process, before the user performs the association operation on the second type of application, the user does not need to perform operations such as searching, downloading and installing on the second type of application separately, so that the application association is simpler and more efficient.
