Description

Information pushing method and device, terminal equipment and computer readable storage medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of control of electronic devices, and in particular, to a method for implementing information push on a terminal device and an apparatus for implementing the method, and also relates to a terminal device and a computer-readable storage medium for implementing the method.

Background

Terminal devices such as smart phones and tablet computers become electronic devices which are most frequently used in daily life of people, people like to install various application programs on the smart electronic devices, and a large number of application programs are simultaneously operated on the terminal devices. At present, most of the applications running on the terminal devices support the network push service, and the network push service is also a main form for pushing various information and new services to users by the development direction of the applications.

The network PUSH service is also called PUSH service, and is a business method in which a developer of an application program or a service provider actively pushes content to a user through a network. Therefore, when a user uses a terminal device, the clients of various applications installed on the terminal device, such as today day-end clients, QQ clients, fox-searching news clients, and the like, often send a large amount of push messages to the user, for example, the push messages of the QQ clients include weather information, news information, QQ information, and the like.

Generally, for push messages of various application clients, the terminal device collects the push messages at a predetermined location of the terminal device, such as a notification bar or a message list predetermined for storing the push messages. When a user wants to check the push message, the user clicks the push message in the preset position to check, and the push message is displayed at the moment.

Moreover, existing applications are provided with their own pushed information processing processes, and after receiving the pushed information, the client of the application processes the pushed information by its own pushed information processing process, for example, sends a request to the terminal device, and adds the pushed information to the notification bar, so that the user can view the pushed information received by the application.

However, in the existing application programs, a plurality of processes are generally operated, and a part of the push information may be sent by one process. For example, after a user opens a web browser, a plurality of web pages are opened on the web browser, and at this time, a plurality of processes are actually run in an application program of the web browser, and each web page corresponds to one process. At this time, the push information received by the web browser is actually the push information that a certain web page should receive.

Since the existing push information is not directly sent to a specific process, but directly sent to the application program, the application program uniformly processes the received push information, for example, the push information processing process of the application program processes all the received push information, that is, sends the push information to the terminal device and displays the push information in the notification bar. Therefore, other processes of the application program do not actually know that the application program receives the push information, and the push information cannot be processed, which may result in that the push information is not published in time, or the push information is sent without being processed, which affects the user to know the push information in time, or affects the comprehensiveness of the user to know the push information.

Disclosure of Invention

A first object of the present invention is to provide an information push method that allows a process of an application program to process push information.

A second object of the present invention is to provide an information pushing apparatus that is beneficial for a user to know the pushed information in time.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a terminal device capable of implementing the above information push method.

A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium, which can implement the above information pushing method when being read and executed by a processor.

In order to achieve the first object, the information push method provided by the invention is applied to terminal equipment, and the method comprises the steps that a target application program receives push information, extracts a classification mark of the push information, and confirms that the push information is first-class push information or second-class push information; if the push information is determined to be the first type of push information, processing the first type of push information by a push process of the target application program; if the push information is confirmed to be the second analogized push information, acquiring a target process corresponding to the second analogized push information, sending the second analogized push information to the target process, and processing the second analogized push information by the target process; and, the plurality of target processes of the target application receive or process the second class delivery information independently of each other.

According to the scheme, after receiving the push information, the application program does not directly send the push information, but firstly judges the type of the push information, if the push information is the first type of push information, namely the push information directly sent by the application program, the application program sends the push information through the self push information processing process, and if the push information is the second type of push information, namely the push information which is to be sent by the target process, the application program sends the push information to the target process. Therefore, the target process can determine whether the push information needs to be processed and then sent or the push information needs to be directly sent according to the requirement. In addition, the target process also knows the receiving and sending of the push information, so that the user can know the push information timely and comprehensively.

The method comprises the following steps that a target application program records a currently running process and gives a unique identifier to each process; acquiring a target process corresponding to the second analogized sending information comprises the following steps: and extracting the identifier of the target process corresponding to the second analogical delivery information from the second analogical delivery information, and determining the target process corresponding to the second analogical delivery information according to the identifier.

Therefore, each process is given a unique identifier, so that the process of the application program has the identifier of the application program, and when the push information is determined to be the second analogy sending information after the push information is received, the target process corresponding to the push information can be confirmed from the currently running process according to the identifier of the process, so that the second analogy sending information is quickly sent to the target process.

The further scheme is that after determining the target process corresponding to the second class of delivery information according to the identifier, the following steps are also executed: and judging whether the target process is the currently running target process, if so, directly sending second analogy sending information to the target process, and if not, sending the second analogy sending information to the target process after waiting for the target process to run.

Therefore, under the condition that the target process is not operated, the second analogized push information is not sent to the target process immediately, but the push information is sent to the target process after the target process is started to operate, so that the target process can be ensured to acquire the push information in time and process the push information in time.

Further, the target process processes the second class delivery information according to a preset rule, including: the target process directly sends the second analogized sending information; or the target process sends the second analogy sending information after carrying out preset processing on the second analogy sending information.

Therefore, after the target process receives the second analogized sending information, the second analogized sending information can be directly processed according to the actual situation, for example, the second analogized sending information is directly sent out, or the second analogized sending information is sent after being subjected to preset processing, or the target process can also directly display the second analogized sending information on the page of the target process, so that the user can be ensured to more clearly know the content of the second analogized sending information when seeing the notification of the notification bar.

In a further aspect, the method further comprises: receiving an instruction for running a target process; acquiring a configuration file of a target process, and acquiring configuration information of a push information receiving interface and a push information sending interface in the configuration file; and the target application program configures the push information receiving interface of the target process according to the configuration information of the push information receiving interface and configures the push information sending interface of the target process according to the configuration information of the push information sending interface.

Preferably, after the configuration file of the target process is obtained, the following steps are further executed: and acquiring an interface configuration mark in the configuration file, and determining that a target process needs to set a push information receiving interface and a push information sending interface according to the mark.

Therefore, the configuration of the push information receiving interface and the configuration of the push information sending interface are realized by acquiring the interface configuration information in the configuration file, the configuration of the relevant interface can be realized in the analysis process of the configuration file of the target process, and the configuration of the corresponding interface is avoided when the push information needs to be sent or received.

Further, the processing of the second type of delivery information by the target process includes: acquiring the processing mode information of the push information in the configuration file, determining the processing mode of the second analogized push information according to the processing mode information of the push information, and processing the second analogized push information by applying the determined processing mode.

In order to achieve the second object, the present invention provides an information pushing apparatus applied to a terminal device, the apparatus including a pushed information receiving module, configured to receive pushed information by a target application; the push information classification determining module is used for extracting classification marks of the push information and confirming that the push information is first-class push information or second-class push information; the push information sending module is used for sending the first type of push information by the push process of the target application program when the push information is determined to be the first type of push information; when the push information is confirmed to be the second analogy sending information, acquiring a target process corresponding to the second analogy sending information, sending the second analogy sending information to the target process, and processing the second analogy sending information by the target process; and, the plurality of target processes of the target application receive or process the second type of delivery information independently of each other.

Preferably, the push information sending module is further configured to extract an identifier of a target process corresponding to the second analogy sending information from the second analogy sending information, and determine the target process corresponding to the second analogy sending information according to the identifier.

After receiving the push information, the application program of the invention does not directly send the push information, but firstly judges the type of the push information, if the push information is the first type of push information, the application program sends the push information through the self push information processing process, and if the push information is the second type of push information, the application program sends the push information to the target process. Therefore, the target process can determine whether the push information needs to be processed and then sent or the push information needs to be directly sent according to the requirement.

Detailed Description

The information push method is applied to terminal equipment such as a smart phone or a tablet personal computer and the like, and is used for realizing the processing of push information, such as sending the push information to the terminal equipment or processing the push information. The information pushing device runs on the terminal equipment and is used for realizing the information pushing method.

Because the functions realized by the traditional application program are single, and the data volume of the installation package of the existing application program is very large, the downloading time of the installation package of the application program is long, and the installation time is also long. Generally, the installation package of the conventional application is written according to a predetermined format, and includes a large number of controls running on the operating system of the terminal device. Therefore, the existing application program has a long development period and a high development difficulty.

To this end, some applications support the running of independent processes, for example, allowing processes developed by third parties to run on the application. In order to avoid the problem that the third-party development process needs a lot of time to download the data packet and start the process when running, the third-party development process running on the application program can be downloaded by downloading the configuration file, and after the configuration file is downloaded, the application program analyzes the configuration file and runs the process. For example, the page information contained in the configuration file only includes the basic setting information of the process page, but does not include the specific data of the page after rendering, and for the interfaces that the process needs to call, the configuration file only gives the configuration information such as the names of various interfaces that the process needs to call, the rules of calling, and the like, that is, the configuration file only declares the function bodies that need to call those interfaces, but does not provide the specific calling interfaces, and the interface functions are provided by the application program. Thus, the process has a small amount of profile data, typically below 1M, to ensure that the profile can be downloaded in a very short time.

After the configuration file of the process is downloaded, the application program analyzes the configuration file, for example, analyzes the configuration file to obtain configuration information of an interface required to be called by the process, and implements configuration of the interface according to the configuration information. The configuration file of the process does not contain the implementation programs of various interfaces, so that the data volume of the configuration file is very small, the downloading speed is very high, the configuration file can be downloaded in a very short time, and the application program can also quickly finish the starting and running of the process.

Therefore, after the application program is opened, the user can select a process to be used or operated, and send out an instruction for operating the process, and after the application program receives the instruction for operating the target process, the application program sends out a request instruction for downloading the configuration file of the target process, for example, sending the information for downloading the configuration file of the target process to a preset server, and receiving the configuration file of the target process from the server, and after receiving the configuration file of the target process, the application program parses the configuration file of the target process, and operates the target process. Because the downloading and the analysis of the configuration file of the target process can be completed in a very short time, the target process can be started without waiting after the user sends the instruction for operating the target process.

Because the existing application program often receives the push information by the application program itself, rather than by the process, if the application program runs a process developed by a third party, if the push information cannot be received by the process, the process often cannot acquire the content of the push information, and the normal operation of the process is affected.

Therefore, the main idea of the present invention is to divide the push information into two categories, where the first category of push information is processed by the push information processing process of the application itself, such as sending the first category of push information to the terminal device, for example, the application directly sends the push information to the notification bar management process, and then the push information is displayed in the notification bar. The second analogy sending information is processed by a process in the application program, so that the process receiving the second analogy sending information is called a target process, and after receiving the second analogy sending information, the target process can process the second analogy sending information, for example, send the second analogy sending information after performing preset processing, or directly send the second analogy sending information, or directly display the second analogy sending information on a page of the target process. It is to be understood that the processing of the second type of delivery information by the target process is not limited to sending the second type of delivery information, and may also include operations such as displaying the second type of delivery information on a page of the target process, and the target process may not send the second type of delivery information to the notification bar.

In the scheme of the application, no matter the first-type push information or the second-type push information is received by the application program, and then the application program judges the type of the push information. Therefore, when a developer of an application program or a service provider sends push information, a classification mark of the push information needs to be added to the push information, and the classification mark is used for identifying whether the push information is first-class push information or second-class push information.

If the push information is the second analogy information, the target process of the application program needs to be processed, so an identifier needs to be added to the second analogy information, the identifier needs to identify not only the application program corresponding to the current push information but also the target process corresponding to the current push information, and certainly, the target process needs to be a process in the corresponding application program. Therefore, after receiving the push information, the terminal device can obtain the application program corresponding to the push information through the identifier, and send the push information to the application program according to the identifier. After the application program receives the push information, the target process corresponding to the push information can be quickly determined according to the identification, so that the push information is quickly sent to the target process.

The method for pushing information is described below with reference to fig. 1.

First, step S101 is executed, and the target application receives the push information.

Generally, when a developer of an application has new information or service to be distributed to a user, push information is formed and transmitted to a terminal device through a network. As described above, when releasing the push information, the application developer needs to add a classification tag to the push information for tagging the type of the push information. In addition, the push information also includes an identifier, and the identifier can be used for characterizing an application program corresponding to the current push information or a process running in the application program.

And after the terminal equipment receives the push information, acquiring an application program corresponding to the push information according to the identification of the push information, and sending the push information to the corresponding application program. In this embodiment, the application program corresponding to the push information is referred to as a target application program, and therefore, once the terminal device sends the push information to the target application program, the target application program receives the push information.

And step S102, acquiring the classification mark of the push information.

And after the target application program receives the push information, the process of processing the push information by the application program per se processes the push information. Since the client of the application program usually sets a process for processing the push information when the client has the function of receiving the push information, the process for processing the push information in the application program processes the push information after the application program receives the push information.

After receiving the push information, a push information processing process of the application program firstly analyzes the push information and acquires a classification mark in the push information. For example, according to the format of the push information, the tag information is obtained from the designated flag bit, and the classification of the push information is determined according to the tag information.

Specifically, when a sender of the push information, for example, a developer of an application or a service provider, sends the push information, a certain bit is reserved as a flag bit, and a binary number "0" is used to indicate that the push information is the first type of push information, and a binary number "1" is used to indicate that the push information is the second type of push information.

Step S103, determining whether the received push information is the first type of push information, if so, proceeding to step S104, otherwise, executing step S105.

After the classification mark of the push information is obtained, the type of the push information is judged. As described above, the sender of the push message may use a binary number "0" to indicate that the push message is the first type of push message, and use a binary number "1" to indicate that the push message is the second type of push message. Therefore, in step S102, only after the classification flag of the push information is acquired, the type of the currently received push information can be determined according to the classification flag.

For example, if the classification flag of the push information on the flag bit is binary "0", that is, the push information is the first type of push information, in this case, step S104 may be proceeded to. If the classification flag of the push information is binary "1", indicating that the push information is the second class push information, step S105 is performed.

Step S104, the application program processes the first type of push information.

If it is determined that the push information received by the application is the first type of push information, that is, the first type of push information is processed by the application itself, and if the first type of push information is sent to the notification bar management process, in step S104, the application immediately sends the first type of push information. For example, a push information processing process of an application issues a request to add new push information to a notification bar management process of an operating system and adds the push information to the notification bar.

And after receiving the request, the notification bar management process adds the received first-type push information into the notification bar. If multiple push messages or notification messages are originally present in the notification bar, they may be added to the notification queue. Preferably, when the notification bar displays the push information, the push information may be displayed according to a classification of the push information, for example, if the push information is advertisement information, the push information is displayed in an advertisement push information queue, and if the push information is application update information, the push information is displayed in an application update push information queue.

Of course, the application program may issue the push information, and in addition to adding the push information to the notification bar, the application program may request the terminal device to issue prompt information, for example, the terminal device lights up a screen and displays the push information in a preset area on the screen. Or the terminal equipment sends out prompt sound or generates a vibration signal and the like, so that the user can be informed of receiving the push information in time.

Of course, the user may set different notification manners of the push information, for example, set that the push information sent by some application program is only displayed in the notification bar and does not send a prompt sound, and when some application program sends the notification of the push information, the user needs to send the prompt sound or light the screen, form a vibration signal, and so on. Or, the user sets different prompting modes according to the nature of the push information, for example, for the push information of the advertisement class, the push information is only displayed in the notification bar, and the application program updates the push information of the class, and then a voice prompt needs to be sent.

In addition to displaying the push information in the notification bar, a special mark may be added to the icon of the target application, for example, a circular mark may be added to the upper left corner of the icon of the target application to indicate that the target application receives the push information, and the user may display the content of the push information after clicking the icon of the application.

It can be understood that, in step S104, after the application program receives the push information, the application program does not need to process the push information, and can directly send the push information to the terminal device.

Step S105, acquiring a target process corresponding to the push information.

If the application program determines that the current push information is the second analogized push information after acquiring the classification mark of the push information, a target process corresponding to the push information needs to be acquired. As described above, the push information includes an identifier, and the identifier not only identifies the application program corresponding to the push information, but also identifies the process corresponding to the push information, so that the application program only needs to obtain the identifier from the push information, and can determine the target process corresponding to the push information.

Since the second type of delivery information needs to be sent by the target process, the target process should preferably be a currently running process. Therefore, after each process is started, the application program needs to give a unique identifier to each running process, for example, using the process number PID of the process as the identifier, or using the package name of the process as the identifier of the process.

Preferably, after each process is started, if the process is a process that needs to receive push information, a request for receiving the second type of push information is sent to the target application program, that is, an instruction for requesting registration to receive push information is sent to the application program. After the application receives the request, the process may be recorded in a second peer delivery information delivery list. If a process is closed, the application will remove the process from the queue.

Thus, the application may set a list of processes that receive the second type of delivery, and add to the list all processes that need to receive the second type of delivery. When the application receives the second type of delivery information, the target process can be looked up from the list. Preferably, in the list of receiving the second type of delivery information, an identifier of a process that needs to receive the second type of delivery information, such as a process number or a package name of the process, is recorded. And the application program traverses the identification of each process in the process queue through the identification of the target process contained in the second analogizing transmission information, and finds out the process identification and the process of the target process identification, wherein the found process is the target process for receiving the second analogizing transmission information.

It can be understood that, if the target process corresponding to the second type of delivery information received by the application program is not currently running, that is, the application program cannot find the target process matching the second type of delivery information from the process list, which indicates that the target process is not currently running, at this time, the application program may record the received second type of delivery information, and temporarily not send the delivery information until a process matching the identifier of the target process exists in the process queue is registered in the process queue, that is, the target process is waited to send the second type of delivery information to the target process after starting running.

Step S106, sending second class sending information to the target process.

After determining the target process corresponding to the second type of delivery information, the application program sends the received second type of delivery information to the target process. The target process is notified of the receipt of the second type of delivery information, e.g., by the push information processing process of the target application, and responds to the notification. At the same time, the target process may start a push message processing thread and process the received second class of push messages by the push message processing thread.

Preferably, when the developer or the service provider of the application sends the push information to the terminal device, the push information is encapsulated according to a predetermined format, and after receiving the push information, the application may extract relevant information in the push information according to the predetermined format, such as sending time of the push information, a sender of the push information, a service type of the push information, summary information of the push information, specific information of the push information, and the like. When the application program sends the second analogized sending information to the target process, various elements of the pushing information can be extracted according to the format of the pushing information, and after the application program analyzes the second analogized sending information, the information of various elements obtained through analysis is sent to the target process.

In step S107, the target process processes the second-class delivery information.

After receiving the second analogy sending information, the target process distributes and the like the second analogy sending information, and specifically, notifies the user of receiving the second analogy sending information and enables the user to process the pushing information needing to be processed in time. The sending of the second type of delivery information by the target process may be displaying the push information on a notification bar, or may be information for the terminal device to send a notification, such as a sound prompt, vibration information, or lighting a screen, or may be directly displaying the second type of delivery information on a page of the target process.

Certainly, the target process does not directly send the second analogy sending information, but can firstly carry out certain processing on the second analogy sending information and then send the pushing information, so that the user can know the specific content of the second analogy sending information more quickly, or the user can know the service type of the second analogy sending information, the user can process the second analogy sending information more specifically, important pushing information is effectively prevented from being processed by omission, and excessive pushing information which is unimportant and not urgent is prevented from being disturbed by the user.

The flow of the target process processing the second type delivery information is shown in fig. 2, and first, step S201 is executed, and the target process acquires summary information of the second type delivery information.

When the application program sends the second analogizing sending information to the target process, the abstract information of the second analogizing sending information can be extracted, so that the target process can conveniently acquire the abstract information of the second analogizing sending information and can acquire information such as the service type of the push information from the abstract information. In this embodiment, the service type of the push information means that the push information is advertisement information, news information, update and upgrade information, and the like.

Step S202, determining whether the second class transmission information needs to be processed, if so, executing step S203, otherwise, executing step S204.

After the summary information of the second analogical delivery information is obtained, the target process judges whether the second analogical delivery information needs to be processed or not through analysis of the summary information. Generally, since the push information contains a large amount of information, such as an update upgrade of an application, the push information will generally include the name of the application to be updated, an updated version number, a release time of an updated data packet, and even the added functions of the updated application, a repaired bug, and the like. However, the user usually does not care about information such as the updated packet distribution time, but only information such as a function that the updated application program is more interested in, so the target process may perform certain processing on the second class delivery information, for example, extracting and sending out the key information.

Therefore, in step S202, it is determined whether the second analogized delivery information needs to be processed according to the summary information in the second analogized delivery information, for example, whether the second analogized delivery information includes some information that does not need to be presented to the user, or includes information that is not concerned by the user.

Of course, when determining whether the second analogy sending information needs to be processed, the determination may also be performed according to the service type of the second analogy sending information, for example, when determining that the second analogy sending information is advertisement information, the pushing processing may be performed on the pushing information in a suspension manner, that is, the pushing information of the advertisement class is not sent immediately. If the push information is news information, the push information needs to be sent immediately.

In step S203, the target process sends second-class delivery information.

If it is determined in step S202 that the second analogical delivery information does not need to be processed, the target process directly sends the push information, that is, the target process does not perform any processing on the received second analogical delivery information, and sends the second analogical delivery information to the terminal device, if the second analogical delivery information is sent to the notification bar management process, the notification bar management process adds the second analogical delivery information to the notification bar, and the user can see that there is unread new information after clicking the notification bar. Of course, the target process may also request the terminal device to send a prompt message, such as lighting a screen, sending a sound prompt message, or sending a vibration signal, while sending the second analogical sending message.

And step S204, performing preset processing on the second class transmission information.

If step S202 confirms that the second type of delivery information needs to be processed before being sent, step S204 is to process the second type of delivery information. Of course, the target process needs to perform corresponding processing according to the actual situation of the second analogy information sending. For example, if the second analogized delivery information is a notification about application update upgrade, the target process may extract a new header of push, such as "software update notification", and extract content of the push that is of interest to the user, such as a function added by the updated application, a bug fixed by the updated application, and the like, while other information, such as an updated packet release time, an update version number, and the like, may be masked.

For another example, if the second type of delivery information is advertisement information, the target process may suspend the release of the advertisement information, for example, the advertisement information is not sent in a preset time period, but the advertisement information is sent only in a specific time period. Since the user generally does not want to be disturbed by too much advertisement information, the targeting process may set the push information of the advertisement class to be sent only in the time periods from 12 pm to 2 pm and from 6 pm to 8 pm, and not to be sent in other time periods.

It can be seen that, in step S204, the preset processing of the second class of push information by the target process may be processing of extracting information that is interesting to the user and shielding information that is not interesting to the user, or processing of suspending transmission of push information. Of course, the display format of the push information can also be set according to the content of the push information, such as displaying the title of the push information by using a font with a special color, displaying the push information in a table form, and the like.

In step S205, the target process sends the processed second class transmission information.

And after processing the second analogizing information, the target process sends the second analogizing information to the terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment informs the user of receiving the push information. A typical processing method is that the target process issues a request for adding a new notification to the notification bar management process, and displays the processed push information in the notification bar, for example, in a preset format or in a table format.

Of course, if the preset processing of step S204 is to suspend the transmission of the second type delivery information, step S205 is to display the second type delivery information in the notification bar after the preset time period is reached. Alternatively, the push information for the advertisement may be displayed in the notification bar after the screen is lit.

Preferably, the sending mode of the second analogized push information received by the target process may be set in the configuration file of the target process, for example, the received push information is displayed to the user through the target process, or the received push information is displayed in the notification bar. Therefore, step S205 may also be to obtain the push information sending mode information in the configuration file of the target process, and determine the sending mode of the received second type of push information according to the push information sending mode information, for example, directly showing the push information on the page of the target process or showing the push information in the notification bar, and applying the determined sending mode to send the second type of push information.

Therefore, the processes can run independently, for example, the processes developed by the third party do not share data with each other, and the starting or exiting of each process is not affected by the processes developed by another third party. Therefore, there is usually only one target process corresponding to the second type of delivery information, so that each target process independently receives the second type of delivery information and independently processes the second type of delivery information, that is, each target process receives or processes the second type of delivery information and is not affected by target processes developed by other third parties.

And because the target process running on the target application program can be a process developed by a third party which is not started to run, that is, a user can directly click an icon of the target process on the application program and run the target process, and meanwhile, in order to realize the function of receiving and sending push information by the target process, an interface for receiving the push information and an interface for sending the push information are configured for the target process when the target process is run.

Referring to fig. 3, the steps of configuring the push message receiving interface and the push message sending interface are as follows:

first, step S301 is executed to receive an instruction to run a target process.

The user may click an icon of a target process to be executed on the page of the application program, and of course, the target process corresponding to the clicked icon may be a process that is not started to be executed, and only the icon of the process is displayed on the page of the application program. After receiving the configuration file of the target process, starting to run the target process after downloading the configuration file of the target process.

Preferably, a search bar may be displayed on the page of the application program, the user may input a keyword of a target process to be executed in the search bar, and the application program searches for the corresponding target process according to the keyword and starts to execute the target process.

Step S302, a configuration file of the target process is obtained, and an interface configuration flag in the configuration file is obtained.

When the user sends an instruction to run the target process, the target application program sends a request instruction for downloading the configuration file of the target process to a predetermined server, and receives the configuration file of the target process from the predetermined server. Preferably, the received configuration file contains a plurality of components of the target process, and contains running logic, description information and the like of the target process, wherein the components of the configuration file have a corresponding relationship with native controls of an operating system of the terminal device, and the corresponding native controls in the operating system can be determined by obtaining the components in the configuration file. The operation logic in the configuration file is used for controlling the logic relation among all pages in the target process, and the description information describes the layout, font and other information of the pages.

The configuration file further includes an interface configuration flag, where the flag is used to indicate an interface that the target process needs to configure, for example, an interface that needs to configure to receive push information, an interface that needs to configure to acquire data of the image capturing apparatus, and the like. Preferably, the interface configuration flag is stored at a preset position, for example, a binary number "0" or "1" is used at the preset position of the configuration file to indicate whether the push information receiving interface and the push information sending interface need to be configured.

Step S303, obtain the configuration information of the push information receiving interface and the push information sending interface.

If it is determined in step S302 that the interface configuration flag in the configuration file of the target process is that a push information receiving interface and a push information sending interface need to be configured for the target process, step S303 obtains configuration information of a corresponding interface. Since the target process needs to receive the push information and needs to send the push information, the configuration file includes the configuration information of the push information receiving interface and the configuration information of the push information sending interface, and these configuration information may be stored in a preset location of the configuration file. Therefore, when the configuration file is parsed, the configuration information of the push information receiving interface and the configuration information of the push information sending interface are only required to be acquired at preset positions.

Step S304, configuring the push information receiving interface according to the obtained push information receiving interface configuration information, and configuring the push information sending interface according to the push information sending interface configuration information.

When the target application program parses the configuration file, after the configuration file of the push information receiving interface is obtained, the push information receiving interface is configured for the target process according to the obtained configuration information, for example, according to an interface configuration statement of the configuration file, an interface to be configured is determined, and a corresponding interface function body in the target application program is obtained, that is, according to a function name of the interface function to be called, a corresponding calling function in the target application program is determined. In addition, if a specific parameter needs to be set in the target process when the push information receiving interface is called, a corresponding parameter needs to be set when the push information receiving interface is configured.

Meanwhile, the target application program can also set a push information sending interface, namely, the configuration information of the push information sending interface in the configuration file is obtained, and the push information sending interface is configured according to the configuration information. Moreover, if the target process needs to set specific parameters when using the push information sending interface, the target process also needs to set corresponding parameters when configuring the push information sending interface.

As can be seen, for a third-party target process independently running on a target application program, each target process can obtain the second analogized sending information through a pushing information receiving interface set by the target application program, and send out the second analogized sending information through a pushing information sending interface configured by the target application program.

In this way, after receiving the second analogy sending information, the target application program can send the received pushing information to the target process through the pushing information receiving interface, the target process can obtain the specific content of the second analogy sending information, and according to the actual situation, the target process displays the second analogy sending information by itself or displays the second analogy sending information on the notification bar, for example, the received second analogy sending information is directly displayed on the page of the target process.

Of course, if the second analogy sending information needs to be sent to the notification bar management process, the second analogy sending information needs to be sent to the target application program through the pushing information sending interface, then the target application program sends the second analogy sending information to the notification bar management process, and the pushing information processing process of the target application program displays the second analogy sending information on the notification bar.

As shown in fig. 4, the information pushing apparatus of this embodiment includes a pushed information receiving module 401, a pushed information classification determining module 402, a pushed information sending module 403, an operation instruction obtaining module 407, and an interface configuration module 408, where the pushed information sending module 403 further includes a target process determining module 404, a pushed information processing module 405, and a pushed information processing module 406.

The push information receiving module 401 is configured to receive push information, for example, push information received by the application receiving terminal device via a network, where the push information may be sent by a developer of the application or a service provider, and the push information includes a classification flag and an identifier, where the classification flag is used to identify whether the push information is first-class push information or second-class push information, and the identifier is used to identify a target application and a target process corresponding to the push information.

The push information classification determining module 402 is configured to obtain a classification flag of the push information from the push information, and determine a classification of the push information according to the classification flag, for example, obtain a flag bit from a predetermined position in the push information, where the flag bit indicates that the push information is a first class of push information if the flag bit is a binary number "0", and indicate that the push information is a second class of push information if the flag bit is a binary number "1".

The push information sending module 403 is configured to send push information, for example, send a request to the notification bar management process to request to add push information to the notification bar. Since the push information determining module 402 obtains the classification flag of the push information and determines the classification of the push information, the push information sending module 403 will adopt different sending strategies according to different types of push information.

If the push information is the first type of push information, the push information is sent directly by the application program, for example, the push information processing module 406 enables the push information processing process of the application program to send the push information directly to the notification bar management process, and the notification bar management process displays the push information in the notification bar. Moreover, the application program does not need to process the push information, namely the first type of push information is unprocessed and is displayed in the notification bar.

If the push information is the second analogy information, the target process determining module 404 needs to determine the target process corresponding to the second analogy information, for example, obtain an identifier from the push information, and determine the target process corresponding to the push information according to the identifier. Preferably, each process in the application program is assigned a unique identifier after being started, and the identifier may be a process number PID of the process, or a packet name of the process, etc. The target process determining module 404 compares the obtained identifier in the push information with the identifier of the process in the application program, finds out the processes with the same identifier in the push information, and determines the found processes as the target processes.

The push information processing module 405 is configured to determine whether processing of the second class of push information is needed, and after determining that processing of the second class of push information is needed, perform preset processing on the push information, such as extracting information that is interesting to the user in the push information, shielding information that is not interesting to the user, or performing processing of suspending transmission of the push information.

The push information processing module 406 is used for processing the push information, for example, when the push information is a first type of push information, the push information is sent by the target application, if the push information is a second type of push information, the push information is processed by the target process, and of course, if the push information is processed, the push information is sent by the push information processing module 406 after being processed.

The operation instruction receiving module 407 is configured to receive an instruction for operating a target process sent by a user, for example, the user clicks the target process to be operated on a target application program, and at this time, the target process is started after receiving the instruction for operating the target process sent by the user. Of course, if the configuration file of the target process is not downloaded, it is necessary to send a request instruction for downloading the configuration file of the target process to a predetermined server and receive the configuration file of the target process. Preferably, the configuration file of the target process includes several components, operation logic and description information, and also includes configuration information of the interface.

The interface configuration module 408 is configured to implement configuration of the push information receiving interface and configuration of the push information sending interface, for example, obtain configuration information of the push information receiving interface in the configuration file, and determine a function body called by the push information receiving interface and the push information sending interface, where the called function body is provided by the target application program. In addition, the configuration information of the push information sending interface is obtained from the configuration file, and the function body corresponding to the push information sending interface is determined. After configuring the push information receiving interface and the push information sending interface, the target process may receive the push information from the target application program through the push information receiving interface, and send the push information to the target application program through the push information sending interface, for example, send the push information to the notification bar management process through the target application program.

The invention classifies the push information, and the push information can be sent by the target process of the application program, so that the target process can send the push information after presetting the push information, and when the user sees the push information, the user can obtain effective information of the push information in a more targeted way, such as information which the user is interested in, and the user can be prevented from being disturbed by the push information frequently.
