Detailed Description

In order to solve the technical problems, the embodiment of the invention has the following general idea:

a method for installing an application program is applied to an electronic device and comprises the following steps: acquiring preset operation of a user for a first application program, wherein the first application program is installed in the electronic equipment; identifying the type of the preset operation; determining a second application program based on the type of the preset operation, wherein the type of the second application program is the same as that of the first application program; and uninstalling the first application program and installing the second application program.

In order to better understand the technical solution, the technical solution will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.

First, it is stated that the term "and/or" appearing herein is merely one type of associative relationship that describes an associated object, meaning that three types of relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.

Example one

The embodiment provides a method for installing an application program, which is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart television, or the like, and the specific type of the electronic device is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The execution main body of the method for installing the Application program may specifically be an Application market App (Application) installed in the electronic device.

As shown in fig. 1, the method for installing an application includes:

step S101: and acquiring preset operation of a user for the first application program.

In a specific implementation process, the preset operation may be used to uninstall the first application.

In the implementation process, a plurality of application programs are installed on the electronic equipment, and the first application program is an application program which cannot meet the requirements of a user, namely an application program which is not satisfied by the user and is desired to be uninstalled. The preset operation of the user can be acquired through a touch screen (for example, a capacitive touch screen) of the electronic device.

In a specific implementation process, an icon of each application program may be displayed on a touch screen of the electronic device, and the preset operation may be: and the user releases the operation after long-pressing the icon of the first application program and dragging the icon to a preset area on the touch screen.

Step S102: the type of the preset operation is identified. In a specific implementation process, the preset region may be divided into a plurality of sub-regions, so as to identify different preset operations. For example: if the user releases the hand after dragging the icon to the first sub-area of the screen, the preset operation is considered as a first preset operation; if the user releases the hand after dragging the icon to the second sub-area of the screen, the preset operation is considered as a second preset operation; the first sub-area may be an upper edge of the touch screen, and the second sub-area may be a lower edge of the touch screen; alternatively, the first sub-area may be an upper left corner of the touch screen and the second sub-area may be an upper right corner of the touch screen.

In addition, different force of pressing the touch screen by a user can be recognized by utilizing a 3D-touch recognition technology, so that different preset operations can be recognized. For example: if the user releases the hand after dragging the icon of the first application program to a preset area of the screen by a first strength (for example, lightly pressing), the preset operation is considered as a first preset operation; if the user releases his hand after dragging the icon of the first application program to the preset area of the screen with the second strength (for example, re-pressing), the preset operation is considered as the second preset operation.

Step S103: and determining the second application program based on the type of the preset operation.

In the implementation process, the second application is the same as the first application in type, and the number of the determined second applications may be one or more.

As an alternative example, as shown in fig. 2, in step S103, there may be two following embodiments:

step S201: when the preset operation is a first preset operation, determining a second application program from application programs which are unloaded by the electronic equipment; and/or

Step S202: and when the preset operation is a second preset operation, determining a second application program from the network.

As an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, when step S201 is executed, it may be implemented as follows:

step S301: determining a type of a first application program;

step S302: acquiring an uninstalling record list of an application program of the electronic equipment;

step S303: screening M application programs with the same types as the first application programs from the uninstalling record list, wherein M is a positive integer;

step S304: a second application is determined from the M applications.

In a specific implementation process, in step S303, M applications that have been unloaded from the electronic device may be screened based on the unloading record list, where the M applications are of the same type as the first application.

For example, taking the first application as the video application App1 as an example, the video applications that have been unloaded by the electronic device are screened out from the unloading record list, for example, App2, App3, App4, App5 are screened out. Among them, App2, App3, App4, and App5 are the M application programs.

For example, taking the first application program as the clothing application program App6 as an example, the clothing application programs that have been unloaded by the electronic device are screened from the unloading record list, for example, App7, App8, App9, App10, App11 are screened. Wherein App7, App8, App9, App10 and App11 are the M application programs.

For example, taking the first application as the takeaway application App12 as an example, the takeaway applications that have been unloaded by the electronic device are screened from the unloading record list, for example, App13, App14, App15, App16, App17, and App18 are screened. Among them, App13, App14, App15, App16, App17, and App18 are the M application programs.

As an alternative embodiment, step S304 includes: screening N application programs from the M application programs, wherein the N application programs are all superior to the first application program, and N is a positive integer less than or equal to M; and determining a second application program from the N application programs, thereby being capable of bringing better service to the user.

In a specific implementation process, when the N applications are screened from the M applications, the method may be implemented in any one of the following manners:

(a-1) acquiring attribute information of each application program in the M application programs, wherein the attribute information comprises one or more of power consumption information, memory occupation information, user evaluation information and user quantity information; and selecting the N application programs of which the attributes corresponding to the attribute information are superior to those of the first application program from the M application programs based on the attribute information of each application program in the M application programs.

In a specific implementation process, the power consumption information of the first application program and each of the M application programs may be acquired, and based on the power consumption information of the first application program and each of the M application programs, N application programs having power consumption smaller than that of the first application program are selected from the M application programs. Since the second application program is determined from the N application programs, when the user uses the second application program, compared with the first application program, the electric energy of the electronic equipment can be saved, and the endurance time is prolonged.

For example, taking the first application as the video application App1 as an example, the first application and the screened other video applications may be sorted in the order of power consumption from small to large, and the sorting result is: app2, App3, App1, App5 and App4, and further screen out, as the N applications, App2 and App3 that save more power than App1 from these video applications.

In a specific implementation process, the memory occupation information of the first application program and each application program of the M application programs may also be acquired, and based on the memory occupation information of the first application program and each application program of the M application programs, N application programs whose memory occupation amounts are smaller than that of the first application program are selected from the M application programs. The second application program is determined from the N application programs, so that when the user uses the second application program, compared with the first application program, less memory can be occupied, and the running fluency of the electronic equipment is improved.

For example, taking the first application as the video application App1 as an example, the first application and the screened other video applications may be sorted in the order from small to large according to the memory occupation amount, and the sorting result is: app3, App2, App5, App1 and App4, and then App3, App2 and App5 which occupy smaller memory than App1 are screened out from the video applications as the N applications.

In the specific implementation process, the evaluation (i.e., rating) information of the first application and each of the M applications may be further obtained, and based on the evaluation (i.e., rating) information of the first application and each of the M applications, N applications having a higher rating than the first application may be selected from the M applications. A higher rating for an application may indicate a better service for the application. Since the second application is then determined from the N applications, the user may obtain better service when using the second application than when using the first application.

For example, taking the first application as the video application App1 as an example, the first application and the screened other video applications may be sorted in the order from high to low according to the evaluation, and the sorting result is: app2, App1, App4, App3 and App5, and further screen out App2 having a higher evaluation than App1 from these video applications as the N applications.

In a specific implementation process, the information of the number of users of the first application program and each application program in the M application programs may also be acquired, and based on the information of the number of users of the first application program and each application program in the M application programs, N application programs whose number of users is greater than that of the first application program are selected from the M application programs. The larger number of users of a certain application program often means the better the service of the application program. Since the second application is then determined from the N applications, the user may obtain better service when using the second application than when using the first application.

For example, taking the first application as the video application App1 as an example, the first application and the screened other video applications may be sorted in the order of the number of users from most to least, and the sorting result is: app2, App5, App1, App4, App3, then more App2 and App5 than the number of users of App1 are screened out from these video-class applications as the N applications.

(b-1) acquiring personal information of the user, the personal information of the user including one or more of location information of the user, age information of the user, and sex information of the user; based on the personal information of the user, N application programs which are more consistent with the personal information of the user than the first application program are selected from the M application programs.

In the specific implementation process, the service quality of some applications may be different in different regions, so that N applications with better service quality than the first application may be selected from the M applications based on the location information of the user, thereby providing better service to the user.

For example, taking the first application as the takeaway application App12 as an example, generally, the better the service quality of a certain App in a region is, and naturally, the more user data in the region is. If the current position information of the user is Beijing, the first application program and the M application programs can be sequenced according to the sequence of the number of the Beijing users from more to less, and the sequencing result is as follows: app17, App18, App16, App12, App15, App14 and App13, then App17, App18 and pp16 ordered before App12 are taken as the N application programs.

Similarly, if the current location information of the user is a success, the first application program and the M application programs may be sorted in an order from a large number of users to a small number of users in the success, and finally the application program sorted in front of the first application program is used as the N application programs.

In particular implementations, the user's preferences may vary from age to age for the same category of application. Here, for the M applications, the number of users in different age groups corresponding to each application may be counted in advance, the age group where the user is located is determined based on the age information of the user, and finally, N applications, in which the number of users in the age group is greater than that of the first application, are selected from the M applications, so as to meet the actual requirements of the user.

For example, taking the first application as a clothing application App6 as an example, if the age of the user is between 30 and 35 years, counting the number of users in the age of 30 to 35 years of each of the M applications and the number of users in the age of 30 to 35 years of the first application, and sorting the first application and the M clothing applications according to the order of the number of users from high to low, for example, the sorting result is: app10, App11, App6, App8, App9, App7, then App10 and App11 that are more user-age-compliant than App6 are taken as the N applications.

In a specific implementation process, different applications may be applicable to users of different genders, and here, N applications that are more suitable for the genders of the users than the first application may be selected from the M applications based on the gender information of the users, so as to meet actual needs of the users.

For example, taking the first application as the clothing application App6 as an example, if the user is a female, the first application and the M applications are sorted according to the sequence of the female user from more to less, and the sorting result is: app11, App10, App9, App8, App7, App6, then App11, App10, App9, App8 and App7, which are ranked in front of App6, are taken as the N application programs.

Similarly, if the user is a male, the first application programs and the M application programs are sequenced according to the sequence of the male user from more to less. And finally, taking the application program which is sequenced in front of the first application program as the N application programs.

(c-1) acquiring configuration information of the electronic device; based on the configuration information, N applications that conform more to the configuration information than the first application are selected from the M applications.

In a specific implementation process, when the same application program runs on electronic devices with different configurations, the fluency is different, the running speed of the electronic device with a high configuration is faster, and the running speed of the electronic device with a low configuration is slower, even stuck. Reasons for affecting the smoothness of application program operation include CPU performance, GPU performance, memory size, system optimization, and the like. Therefore, the running conditions of the M application programs in the electronic equipment can be estimated based on the configuration information of the electronic equipment, and the application programs which run more smoothly than the first application program are selected as the N application programs, so that better use experience is brought to users.

For example, if the memory of the electronic device is small, an application program occupying a smaller memory than the first application program should be selected from the M application programs as the N application programs.

For example, if the GPU performance of the electronic device is poor, an application program with lower GPU performance requirement than the first application program should be selected from the M application programs as the N application programs.

(d-1) acquiring uninstalling reason information input by the user, wherein the uninstalling reason information is used for indicating a reason for the user to uninstall the first application program; determining the requirement of the user based on the unloading reason information; and selecting the N application programs meeting the requirements of the user from the M application programs, thereby meeting the actual requirements of the user and improving the satisfaction degree of the user.

In a specific implementation process, the user can input the uninstallation reason information in a text input mode or a voice input mode.

For example, taking the first application as the video application App1 as an example, if the uninstallation reason information input by the user is "drama resources are too few", it is determined that the user needs more drama resources, and the first application and the M are sorted in the order of the drama resources from most to least, with the sorting result: app3, App2, App1, App4 and App5, more App3 and App2 than App1 comedy resources can be used as the N application programs.

For example, taking the first application as the takeaway application App12 as an example, if the uninstallation reason information input by the user is that the preferential strength is too small, it is determined that the user's requirement is a greater preferential strength, and the first application and the M applications may be sorted in a pair order of the preferential strengths from large to small, where the sorting result is: app13, App16, App17, App12, App14, App15 and App18, and then App13, App16 and pp17 with higher preferential strength than App12 can be used as the N application programs.

In a specific implementation process, when a second application program is determined from the N application programs, and the N application programs only include 1 application program, the second application program may be directly used as the application program; when the N applications include a plurality of applications, a candidate list may be generated based on the N applications and output to the user, so that the user may select one or more applications as the second application.

In a specific implementation process, when the second application program is determined from the N application programs, and when the N application programs include a plurality of application programs, one or more application programs ranked in the top may also be directly used as the second application program. For example, taking the first application as the video application App1 as an example, when the first application and the M applications are sorted in the sequence of the series resources from most to least, the sorting result is: if App3, App2, App1, App4, or App5 is used, App3 may be used as the second application program, or App3 and App2 may be used as the second application program at the same time.

As an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, when step S202 is executed, it may be implemented as follows:

step S401: determining a type of a first application program;

step S402: determining W application programs with the same types as the first application programs from a network, wherein W is a positive integer;

step S403: a second application is determined from the W applications.

In a specific implementation process, the W applications may be: an application that is the same type as the first application and that has not been installed by the electronic device. Specifically, an installation record list of applications of the electronic device may be acquired, and the W applications may be screened from among the searched applications of the same type as the first application based on the installation record list. Further, U application programs superior to the first application program are selected from the W application programs.

In a specific implementation process, when step S403 is executed, U applications may be screened from the W applications, where the U applications are all superior to the first application, and U is a positive integer less than or equal to W; a second application is determined from the U applications.

For example, taking the first application as the video application App1 as an example, since App1 belongs to the video application, the video application is searched online, the searched video application is filtered based on the installation record list, the video applications that have not been installed in the electronic device are screened out, for example, App2, App3, App4 and App5 are screened out, and further, an application better than App1 is selected from the video applications that have not been installed as the U applications.

For example, taking the first application as the clothing application App6 as an example, since App6 belongs to clothing applications, the clothing applications are searched online, the searched clothing applications are filtered based on the installation record list, clothing applications that have not been installed in the electronic device are screened out, for example, App7, App8, App9, App10 and App11 are screened out, and further, an application better than App6 is selected from the clothing applications that have not been installed as the U applications.

For example, taking the first application as the takeaway application App12 as an example, since App12 belongs to the takeaway application, the takeaway application is searched online, the searched takeaway application is filtered based on the installation record list, and the takeaway applications that have not been installed in the electronic device are screened out, for example, App13, App14, App15, App16, App17, and App18, and further, the application superior to App12 is selected from the takeaway applications that have not been installed as the U applications.

In a specific implementation process, when U applications are screened from W applications, the method may be implemented in any one of the following manners:

(a-2) acquiring attribute information of each application program in the W application programs, wherein the attribute information comprises one or more of power consumption information, memory occupation information, user evaluation information and user quantity information; and selecting U application programs of which the attributes corresponding to the attribute information are superior to those of the first application program from the W application programs based on the attribute information of each application program in the U application programs. Since the embodiment of (a-2) is substantially the same as that of (a-1), it is not described herein again.

(b-2) acquiring personal information of the user, the personal information of the user including one or more of location information of the user, age information of the user, and sex information of the user; based on the personal information of the user, U application programs which are more consistent with the personal information of the user than the first application program are selected from the U application programs. Since the embodiment of (b-2) is substantially the same as that of (b-1), it is not described herein again.

(c-2) acquiring configuration information of the electronic device; and selecting U application programs which are more consistent with the configuration information than the first application program from the W application programs based on the configuration information. Since the embodiment of (c-2) is substantially the same as that of (c-1), it is not described herein again.

(d-2) acquiring uninstalling reason information input by the user, wherein the uninstalling reason is used for indicating a reason for the user to uninstall the first application program; determining the requirement of the user based on the unloading reason information; and selecting U application programs meeting the requirements of the user from the W application programs. Since the embodiment of (d-2) is substantially the same as that of (d-1), it is not described herein again.

In a specific implementation process, when a second application program is determined from the U application programs, and the U application programs only include 1 application program, the application program can be directly used as the second application program; when the U application programs comprise a plurality of application programs, a candidate list can be generated based on the U application programs and output to a user, and the user can select one or more application programs as the second application programs; alternatively, when the U applications include a plurality of applications, one or more applications ranked in the top may be directly used as the second application.

As an alternative embodiment, after step S103, the method further includes:

acquiring resources corresponding to partial functions of a second application program; realizing partial functions based on resources corresponding to the partial functions for trial use by a user; and if the trial application passes, uninstalling the first application program and installing the second application program.

In a specific implementation process, the resource corresponding to the main function of the second application program can be downloaded, and the main function of the second application program is realized based on the part of resource for the user to try. Specifically, the Google Instant App can be utilized to implement the primary functionality of the second application for trial use by the user. After the trial satisfaction of the user, the execution of step S104 may be confirmed by a certain operation (e.g., triggering a "confirm" button on the screen).

Step S104: the first application is uninstalled and installed in the second application.

In a specific implementation process, whether an installation file of the second application program exists or not can be searched locally in the electronic equipment, and if the installation file exists, the second application program is installed based on the installation file; and if not, searching and downloading the installation file of the second application program on line, and then installing the second application program based on the installation file.

In the specific implementation process, step S104 is actually a "replacement uninstalling" manner, and replaces the first application program that is not satisfied by the user with the second application program with better quality, so as to provide better service for the user, thereby satisfying the user 'S requirement and improving the user' S satisfaction.

The technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention at least has the following technical effects or advantages:
