FIG. 1 illustrates a processing device structure diagram for installing an application on a user device according to one embodiment of the present application; wherein the processing apparatus comprises a first device 11, a second device 12 and a third device 13.

Specifically, the first apparatus 11 is configured to generate shortcut access information on a desktop of a user equipment if a first application on the user equipment meets a trigger condition, where the shortcut access information is used to access a target module in the first application or another module in the first application having a function similar to that of the target module; the second device 12 determines whether to install a second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user equipment according to the usage record information of the user on the quick access information; if so, the third device 13 installs the second application on the ue.

The first apparatus 11 is configured to generate shortcut access information on a desktop of a user equipment if a first application on the user equipment meets a trigger condition, where the shortcut access information is used to access a target module in the first application or another module in the first application having a function similar to that of the target module.

Specifically, the first application is a standalone application on the user equipment, and the first application includes one or more modules, where each module may exist independently or be associated with another module; when a user accesses a certain module, the module is the target module.

When a first application on the user equipment meets a trigger condition, the first device 11 generates shortcut access information on a desktop of the user equipment, that is, when the user clicks the shortcut access information, the user can directly access a target module in the first application without going through a process of "opening the first application — clicking the target module", or when the user clicks the shortcut access information, the user can access other modules having similar functions of the target module in the first application without being guided to the target module. The other modules are functionally the same or similar to the target module.

In some embodiments, the display page of the target module includes other tab pages of the first application, and the display pages of the other modules do not include other tab pages of the first application, that is, the display pages of the other modules are an independent and complete page. From a user perspective, the target module is able to clearly identify a portion that belongs to the first application, while the other modules are visually similar to a stand-alone application.

In some embodiments, the trigger condition satisfies at least any one of:

-obtaining access operations of a user to the target module: here, the first apparatus 11 may directly acquire an access operation of the target module by the user, or the first apparatus 11 may interact with a device capable of providing the access operation to acquire the access operation. Here, the access operation includes, but is not limited to, an access operation to the target module by clicking, touching, voice command, and the like.

In some embodiments, the access operation may be an initial access operation of the user, that is, when the user clicks the target module for the first time, shortcut access information is generated; or, the access operation may also be a multiple access operation, that is, when the user accesses the target module multiple times (for example, the set number is N), the shortcut access information is generated; alternatively, the access operation may be a specific access operation, such as when the user accesses the target module by a long press operation (rather than an ordinary single-click type of access), shortcut access information is generated.

-acquiring a user's trigger to generate the shortcut access information: for example, the trigger operation is obtained based on clicking, triggering and the like of a user through a specific pop-up window, a button and other controls; or the trigger operation is acquired through a specific instruction input by a user.

-a setting in the first application regarding the generation of the shortcut access information is enabled;

-the first application is installed at the user equipment: namely, when the user installs the first application in the process or after the installation is finished, the shortcut access information is directly generated on the desktop of the user equipment.

For example, a first application "WiFi management application" exists on the user equipment, and when a user clicks a target module "information page" in the "WiFi management application", a shortcut access information "information page-shortcut access icon" corresponding to the "information page" is directly generated on a desktop of the user equipment. And when the user clicks the information page-shortcut access icon on the desktop of the user equipment, directly jumping to the information page in the WiFi management application to realize shortcut access.

In some embodiments, the first apparatus 11 is configured to, if a first application on a user equipment satisfies a trigger condition, generate, according to a target module in the first application, another module in the first application, where the other module has a similar function to the target module; and generating shortcut access information on a desktop of the user equipment, wherein the shortcut access information is used for accessing the other modules.

Specifically, if a first application on the user equipment satisfies a trigger condition, the first device 11 may generate, in real time, another module having a similar function to the target module in the first application, instead of invoking the other module already existing in the first application. In some embodiments, the other module does not include other page information associated with the first application in its display page. Then, the first apparatus 11 generates shortcut access information for accessing the other module on the desktop of the user equipment. And when the user accesses the shortcut access information, directly calling the other modules in the first application.

In some embodiments, the first apparatus 11 generates other modules having similar functions with the target module and similar styles with the second application in the first application according to the design style information of the target module in the first application and the second application corresponding to the target module. Herein, the design style includes, but is not limited to, an icon, a font, a composition, a color scheme, and the like.

In some embodiments, the first apparatus 11 obtains an access operation of a user to a target module in a first application on a user device; and if a second application to be recommended and installed corresponding to the target module exists, generating shortcut access information corresponding to the target module on a desktop of the user equipment.

Specifically, the first apparatus 11 may directly acquire an access operation of the user to the target module, or the first apparatus 11 may interact with a device capable of providing the access operation to acquire the access operation. Here, the access operation includes, but is not limited to, an access operation performed on the target module by clicking, touching, voice command, and the like.

Then, the first device 11 detects the relevant information of the target module, and detects whether the target module directly has a second application to be recommended to install, which corresponds to the target module, for example, if the configuration information of the target module directly points to the second application, the first device 11 may directly obtain the second application according to the configuration information; alternatively, the first device 11 matches the module name, the module function, the module theme, the design style, and the like of the target module with a preset database (e.g., an application in an application store), thereby detecting whether there is a second application satisfying the above conditions.

That is, in some embodiments, if present, the second application satisfies at least any one of:

the second application has similar functions as the target module, for example, the second application is a news application, and the target module is an 'information page';

the second application has a similar theme to the target module, e.g., the second application is a movie-like application and the target module is "movie ticketing";

the second application has a design style similar to the target module, where the design style includes, but is not limited to, icons, fonts, typesets, color schemes, and the like.

If the second application exists, the first device 11 generates shortcut access information corresponding to the target module on the desktop of the user equipment, that is, when the user clicks the shortcut access information, the user can directly access the target module in the first application without going through a process of "opening the first application — clicking the target module". In some embodiments, the shortcut access information is similar in design style to the second application, such as an icon of the shortcut access information is similar or identical to an application icon of the second application.

And if the second application does not exist, not generating shortcut access information corresponding to the target module on the desktop of the user equipment.

And the second device 12 determines whether to install a second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user equipment according to the usage record information of the user on the quick access information.

Specifically, the second device 12 may directly acquire the usage record information of the user on the shortcut access information, or the second device 12 may interact with a device capable of providing the usage record information to acquire the usage record information. Here, the usage record information includes, but is not limited to, the number of times of use, turn-on time, duration of use, frequency of use, and the like.

If the usage record information meets the installation/update condition, determining to install a second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user equipment; and if the use record information does not meet the installation/update condition, continuing to keep the quick access information as an access mode.

Here, the installation/update condition includes, but is not limited to, that the user first opens the quick access information, or that a time point at which the user opens the quick access information satisfies a predetermined time; or the using times of opening the quick access information by the user meet the preset times; or the use duration of the shortcut access information opened by the user meets the preset time length; or the frequency of using the shortcut access information opened by the user meets a preset frequency and the like.

For example, in the previous example, after the first application is a WiFi management application and the shortcut access information is a shortcut access information page-shortcut access icon corresponding to an information page, if the number of times that a user accesses the information page-shortcut access icon exceeds N times, it is determined that an information header of a second application corresponding to the target module is installed on the user equipment. Here, the "information banner" and the first application "WiFi management application" both belong to independent applications, and when the user clicks the "information banner", the second application is directly accessed, instead of the "information page" in the first application "WiFi management application".

In some embodiments, the second apparatus 12 may determine whether to install the second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user device according to the usage record information of the user on the quick access information and the portrait information of the user.

Specifically, the portrait information of the user is any user information associated with the user; for example, the application installation record of the user, the application usage information (such as usage frequency, usage time, etc.) of various applications of the user, the interest information of the user, etc.

Then, the second device 12 determines whether to install a second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user equipment in combination with the portrait information on the basis of the usage record information of the quick access information; for example, when the usage record information and the portrait information satisfy a predetermined condition, it is determined that the second application is installed.

Here, the application installation record includes, but is not limited to, the name, type, time, etc. of the installed application; the application usage information includes, but is not limited to, a usage frequency, a usage time, etc. of any application installed.

In some embodiments, the second device 12 is configured to: if at least any one of the following requirements is met, determining to install a second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user equipment;

the usage record information of the user on the shortcut access information is equal to or exceeds the preset usage frequency information: for example, if the user accesses the quick access information every day, the usage record information is considered to be equal to or exceed the predetermined usage frequency information, and it is determined that the second application is installed.

The use duration information of the user on the quick access information is equal to or exceeds the preset use duration information: for example, if the usage duration information of the shortcut access information by the user has exceeded 30 minutes, the usage record information is considered to be equal to or exceed the predetermined usage duration information, and it is determined to install the second application.

The portrait information of the user includes that the user equipment is installed with other applications similar to the second application: for example, as described above, if the second application is the "information head bar" and the ue has other information applications installed, it is considered that the ue has other applications similar to the second application installed, and thus it is determined to install the "information head bar".

In some embodiments, the second apparatus 12 may send, to a corresponding network device, a query request for whether to install a second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user equipment; receiving response information which is returned by the network equipment and relates to the query request, wherein the response information is determined based on the usage record information of the user on the quick access information; if the response information includes that the second application is installed on the user equipment, the third device 13 installs the second application on the user equipment.

That is, the second apparatus 12 no longer determines the usage record information by itself, and the second apparatus 12 may determine whether to install the second application according to response information of the network device through interaction with the corresponding network device; here, the network device includes, but is not limited to, a network device corresponding to the first application, a network device performing application management for the user equipment, and the like. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other corresponding network devices are equally applicable to the present application.

And if the response information determines to install the second application, the third device 13 performs installation of the second application.

In some embodiments, the first application comprises a WiFi management application for managing the user device connecting to a wireless access point. That is, through the first application, the user can manage information on whether the user equipment accesses a WiFi access point, how to access the WiFi access point, which WiFi access point to select, and the like.

In some embodiments, the processing device further comprises a fifth means (not shown), wherein if it is determined by the first application that the user equipment is connecting to a wireless access point, the fifth means pre-downloads the second application for subsequent installation.

That is, if the first application has determined that the user equipment is connecting through a WiFi access point, and further, the user equipment has connected to a certain WiFi access point, the fifth apparatus downloads the second application in advance, so as to reduce traffic consumption in a subsequent installation process.

If so, the third device 13 installs the second application on the ue.

Specifically, after the second device 12 determines to install the second application corresponding to the target module on the user equipment, the third device 13 directly downloads the second application, or installs the second application based on the second application downloaded in advance.

In some embodiments, if the second application is installed successfully, the third apparatus 13 may further delete the shortcut access information from the desktop of the user equipment. I.e. the situation that the shortcut access information is present simultaneously with the second application is avoided.

In some embodiments, the application icon of the second application on the desktop of the user equipment covers the icon of the shortcut access information, that is, the position of the second application on the desktop is the same as the original shortcut access information, so that the usage habit of the user is met, and the usage experience of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, the processing device further includes a fourth device 14 (not shown), wherein the fourth device presents the target module or the other module on the user device according to the access operation of the user to the shortcut access information.

That is, after the user performs the access operation on the quick access information, the target module or the other modules in the first application are directly accessed and presented on the user equipment, without going through a process of "opening the first application — clicking the target module or the other modules".

In some embodiments, the presentation style of the target module or the other module is similar to the second application.

That is, the target module or the other modules may have similar presentation styles, such as icons, fonts, typesets, color schemes, etc., as the second application, and both may have similar design styles.

In some embodiments, the fourth device obtains the content information of the target module according to the access operation of the user to the quick access information; and presenting the content information of the target module to the user equipment according to the design style of the second application.

Specifically, after obtaining the access operation, the fourth device first obtains content information of the target module, where the content information may be scattered or may be presented in any design style; then, the fourth device reintegrates the content information according to the design style of the second application, and finally presents the content information to the user equipment.

For example, the user directly accesses the target module through the first application, and the user accesses the target module through the shortcut access information, although both are finally directed to the target module of the first application, the design style/presentation style corresponding to the target module and the target module are different due to different access entries.

In some embodiments, if an access operation of the user to the quick access information is received, the second device 12 determines, according to the usage information of the user to the quick access information, whether to install a second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user equipment.

That is, only when the access operation of the user to the shortcut access information is received, the determination on the usage information is performed, in other words, only in the scene of using the "shortcut information", rather than "accessing the target module by opening the first application", whether to install the second application is determined, so as to further reduce the rejection of the user to the application recommendation through the similarity of the usage scenes and improve the usage experience and efficiency of the user.

Fig. 2 shows a flow diagram of a method for installing an application on a user device according to another embodiment of the present application.

Specifically, in step S1, the processing device is configured to generate shortcut access information on a desktop of a user equipment if a first application on the user equipment meets a trigger condition, where the shortcut access information is used to access a target module in the first application or another module in the first application that has a similar function to the target module; in step S2, the processing device determines whether to install a second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user device according to the usage record information of the user on the quick access information; if yes, in step S3, the processing device installs the second application on the user equipment.

In step S1, the processing device is configured to generate shortcut access information on a desktop of the user equipment if a first application on the user equipment meets a trigger condition, where the shortcut access information is used to access a target module in the first application or another module in the first application having a function similar to that of the target module.

Specifically, the first application is an independent application on the user equipment, and the first application includes one or more modules, each of which may exist independently or be associated with other modules; when a user accesses a certain module, the module is the target module.

When a first application on the user equipment meets a trigger condition, in step S1, the processing device generates shortcut access information on a desktop of the user equipment, that is, when the user clicks the shortcut access information, the processing device may directly access a target module in the first application without going through a procedure of "opening the first application — clicking the target module", or, when the user clicks the shortcut access information, the processing device may access other modules having similar functions to the target module in the first application without being directed to the target module. The other modules are functionally the same or similar to the target module.

In some embodiments, the trigger condition satisfies at least any one of:

-obtaining access operations of a user to the target module: here, the processing device may directly acquire an access operation of the target module by a user, or the processing device may interact with a device capable of providing the access operation to acquire the access operation. Here, the access operation includes, but is not limited to, an access operation to the target module by clicking, touching, voice command, and the like.

-acquiring a user's trigger action to generate the shortcut access information: for example, the trigger operation is obtained based on clicking, triggering and the like of a user through a control such as a specific pop-up window and a button; or the trigger operation is acquired through a specific instruction input by a user.

In some embodiments, in step S1, the processing device is configured to, if a first application on the user equipment satisfies a trigger condition, generate, according to a target module in the first application, another module having a function similar to that of the target module in the first application; and generating shortcut access information on a desktop of the user equipment, wherein the shortcut access information is used for accessing the other modules.

Specifically, if a first application on the user equipment meets a trigger condition, in step S1, the processing device may generate, in real time, another module having a function similar to that of the target module in the first application, instead of calling the other module already existing in the first application. In some embodiments, the other module does not include other page information associated with the first application in its display page. Then, the processing device generates shortcut access information for accessing the other modules on the desktop of the user device. And when the user accesses the quick access information, directly calling the other modules in the first application.

In some embodiments, in step S1, the processing device generates, according to a target module in the first application and design style information of a second application corresponding to the target module, another module having a similar function to the target module and a similar style to the second application in the first application. Herein, the design style includes, but is not limited to, an icon, a font, a composition, a color scheme, and the like.

In some embodiments, in step S1, the processing device obtains an access operation of a user to a target module in a first application on the user device; and if a second application to be recommended to install and corresponding to the target module exists, generating shortcut access information corresponding to the target module on a desktop of the user equipment.

Specifically, in step S1, the processing device may directly acquire an access operation of a user to the target module, or in step S1, the processing device may interact with a device capable of providing the access operation to acquire the access operation. Here, the access operation includes, but is not limited to, an access operation performed on the target module by clicking, touching, voice command, and the like.

Then, the processing device detects the relevant information of the target module, and detects whether the target module directly has a second application to be recommended to install, which corresponds to the target module, for example, if the configuration information of the target module directly points to the second application, the processing device can directly obtain the second application according to the configuration information; alternatively, the processing device matches the module name, the module function, the module theme, the design style, and the like of the target module with a preset database (e.g., an application in an application store), thereby detecting whether there is a second application that satisfies the above conditions.

the second application has a similar theme to the target module, e.g., the second application is a movie-like application, and the target module is "movie ticket buying";

If the second application exists, the processing device generates shortcut access information corresponding to the target module on a desktop of the user device, that is, when the user clicks the shortcut access information, the user can directly access the target module in the first application without going through a process of "opening the first application — clicking the target module". In some embodiments, the shortcut access information is designed in a similar manner as the second application, such as the icon of the shortcut access information is similar to or the same as the application icon of the second application.

Specifically, after the processing device determines that the second application corresponding to the target module is installed on the user device, in step S3, the processing device directly downloads the second application, or installs the second application based on the second application downloaded in advance.

In some embodiments, if the second application is installed successfully, in step S3, the processing device may further delete the shortcut access information from the desktop of the user equipment. I.e. the situation that the shortcut access information is present simultaneously with the second application is avoided.

In some embodiments, the application icon of the second application on the desktop of the user equipment covers the icon of the shortcut access information, that is, the position of the second application on the desktop is the same as the original shortcut access information, so that the use habit of the user is met, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, the method further includes step S4 (not shown), where in step S4, the processing device presents the target module or the other module on the user device according to an access operation of the user to the shortcut access information.

That is, the target module or the other modules may have a similar presentation style, such as icon, font, layout, color scheme, etc., as the second application, and both may have a similar design style.

In some embodiments, in step S4, the processing device obtains content information of the target module according to an access operation of the user to the quick access information; and presenting the content information of the target module to the user equipment according to the design style of the second application.

Specifically, in step S4, after acquiring the access operation, the processing device first acquires content information of the target module, where the content information may be scattered or may be presented in any design style; then, the processing device reintegrates the content information according to the design style of the second application, and finally presents the content information to the user device.

In some embodiments, if an access operation of the user to the quick access information is received, in step S2, the processing device determines, according to the usage information of the user to the quick access information, whether to install a second application corresponding to the quick access information on the user device.
