The names of messages or information interacted between the various devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of such messages or information.

In the following, several technical terms related to the present disclosure will be explained first.

The APK (Android application package, android application installation package) is an application package file format used by an Android (Android) operating system, and after compiling codes and compressing resources, the APK can be constructed by using a project automation construction tool, and the APK contains all contents of an Android application program and specifically includes: dynamic library files, resource files, etc.

Dynamic library files are typically stored in the lib directory: depending on the type of CPU (central processing unit ), the lib directory may contain a variety of different types, where the CPU type may include: at least one of armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, and x 86.

The resource file is typically stored in the res directory: res is an abbreviation of resource, and a resource file stored in the res directory has a corresponding path identifier, and the resource file can be accessed based on the path identifier, where the resource file specifically includes: at least one of an animation file, an image resource, a video resource, a layout file, a feature value, a color value, a size value, a value of a character string, a style object, and an xml format file.

The engine plug-in: the system is a program written by an application program interface conforming to a certain specification, can only run under a system platform specified by the application program, can simultaneously support a plurality of system platforms, and cannot independently run from a specified system platform.

Target engine: is a command line tool that can create items, run items, and release items using a target engine for the field of games, i.e., a game engine, which is the core component of a programmed editable computer game system or some interactive real-time image application.

The existing manner of running an application on a browser has the following drawbacks:

1. the application program is run through the third-party browser, so that the performance of the program is poor in running, and the method is specifically characterized in that: the method cannot show rich image details and slightly complex physical characteristic simulation, and has low resolution, unclear image quality, high CPU overhead and no realization of direct GPU (graphics processing unit, graphics processor) control.

2. WebGL depends on browser use, and WebGL has evolved from other versions, resulting in browser compatibility becoming a significant problem due to the inconsistent versions supported by each browser.

3. The application range is limited, webGL can only be developed as a simple small game, compared with the development of a Unity native game, the related technical stack is different, tool construction is not comprehensive enough, meanwhile, a developer wants to release the game in the form, and the player needs to learn and understand again, so that the labor cost is high.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a program running method, which is specifically executed by an engine plug-in of a first APP (application program), where the engine plug-in of the first application program refers to an engine plug-in taking the first application program as a host application program, and the first application program may call the engine plug-in to load a component to implement a component function, as shown in fig. 1, which is a general schematic diagram of the present disclosure, the host APP may obtain the engine plug-in from a plug-in server and install the engine plug-in, and the host APP may call the engine plug-in to download a host (host refers to a desktop Launcher in an android system) to start an android desktop, and at the same time, the engine plug-in may also download, decompress and manage Game projects (Game projects, that is APKs of Game applications) of any Game, such as Game (Game) a and GameB in fig. 1.

The present disclosure provides a program running method, which may be applied to the field of games, specifically, referring to fig. 2, the method may include:

step S201, responding to a second application program running instruction sent by the first application program, and acquiring an application program installation package of the second application program; the second application installation package is built based on the target engine;

the first application program can download and install the engine plug-in from the plug-in server, the storage path of the engine plug-in is a storage path accessible to the first application program, the first application program is a currently running application program, when the engine plug-in detects a running instruction for the second application program sent by the first application program, an acquisition instruction of an APK (APKs in subsequent implementations refer to APKs of the second application program) of the second application program can be sent to the data server in response to the running instruction, so that the APK of the second application program sent by the data server based on the acquisition instruction can be received.

It should be noted that the plug-in server and the data server may be the same server or different servers.

In this embodiment, the second application program is a different application program from the first application program, where the second application program is an application program that is not downloaded or installed by the system to which the first application program belongs, and after the engine plug-in obtains the APK of the second application program, the second application program corresponding to the APK may not be installed, but the second application program may be run by using the first application program as the host APP based on the APK.

In this embodiment, the engine plug-in detecting the running instruction for the second application program sent by the first application program includes: selection instructions for control identification of the second application program and download instructions for the second application program, specifically:

the display page of the first application program comprises a control identifier (such as a program icon and the like) corresponding to the second application program, when the first application program detects a selection instruction of a user for the control identifier, the engine plug-in can be called to display a download inlet of the second application program, and when the engine plug-in detects a selection operation of the user for the download inlet, the engine plug-in detects a download instruction for the second application program.

In this embodiment, the application installation package is built based on the target engine, i.e., the target engine is included in the application installation package.

Step S202, acquiring a target engine and a target file based on an application program installation package; the target file is a file required by the second application program to run;

the engine plug-in can acquire a target engine and a target file based on the APK, wherein the target file refers to a file required by running the second application program or a file required by the second application program in normal running.

After the target engine is acquired, the target engine can be operated in the first application program, and the game page generated by the target engine can be displayed on the display page of the first application program.

Step S203, obtaining a target file path, wherein the target file path is a storage path of a target file;

the engine plug-in may store the target file in the target file path, specifically: the engine plug-in can store the target file in a target file path accessible to the first application program by setting a storage path, and more specifically: the engine plug-in may modify the storage path of the APK from an initial default storage path (the initial default storage path is generally a storage path accessible to the second application program but not accessible to the first application program) to a storage path under the first application program, that is, the storage path is a storage path accessible to the first application program, and then determine a target file path for storing the target file based on the storage path.

After the engine plug-in stores the target file in the target file path, the engine plug-in can acquire the target file path, the first application program can access the target file path, and the target engine operates in the first application program, so that the target engine operating in the first application program can also access the target file path to acquire the target file.

Step S204, a target file path is sent to the target engine, so that the target engine can acquire the target file, and a second application program is operated based on the acquired target file.

The engine plug-in may initialize the target engine, which refers to: the engine plug-in sends a target file path to the target engine, so that the target engine can acquire a target file stored in the target file path based on the target file path, and then the target engine can run a second application program based on the target file to generate a corresponding game page, and the game page is displayed on a display page of the first application program.

In this embodiment, when an operation instruction of a second application program sent by a first application program is responded, an application program installation package of the second application program can be obtained, a target engine and a target file are obtained based on the APK, a target file path is obtained, and after the target file path is sent to the target engine, the target file path is a storage path of the target file, so that the target engine can obtain the target file based on the target file path query, and the target file is a file required by the second application program operation, the target engine can operate the second application program based on the target file, and compared with the existing scheme, the method and the device can use the first application program as a host APP, operate the second application program through the target engine and the target file of the original second application program, so that the performance of the second application program during operation is improved, and user experience is enriched.

Optionally, the target file includes a dynamic library file and a resource file; the target file path comprises a dynamic library file storage path and a resource file loading path;

acquiring a target file path, comprising:

acquiring a dynamic library file path and a resource file loading path; the dynamic library file path is a preset path accessible to the first application program;

before sending the target file path to the target engine, the method further comprises:

based on the application program installation package, extracting a dynamic library file, and storing the dynamic library file in a dynamic library file storage path;

sending the target file path to the target engine includes:

and sending the dynamic library file storage path and the resource file loading path to the target engine.

In the above step S102, the engine plug-in may acquire the target engine and the target file based on the application installation package, which may be: the engine plug-in queries the target engine and target file in the application installation package, but does not extract the target engine and target file.

The target file includes a dynamic library file and a resource file, and after the engine plug-in obtains the target engine and the target file, the engine plug-in may further extract the target engine and the dynamic library file from the application installation package, and for the resource file in the target file, the engine plug-in may extract the resource file from the APK and may also retain the resource file in the APK, where the specific case will be discussed in the following embodiments.

In this embodiment, the logic of code execution is defined in the dynamic library file, and the manner of extracting the dynamic library file from the APK may be: after decompressing the APK, obtaining a so file, which is a dynamic library file, and extracting the target engine from the APK may be: and after the APK is decompressed, acquiring a target engine.

The target file path comprises a dynamic library file storage path and a resource file loading path, wherein the dynamic library file path is a dynamic library file storage path, the resource file loading path is a resource file storage path, the dynamic library file path and the resource file loading path are preset paths which can be accessed by a first application program, and the engine plug-in can store the dynamic library file in the dynamic library file storage path after extracting the dynamic library file.

In this embodiment, the engine plug-in obtaining the target file path includes: the engine plug-in acquires a dynamic library file path and a resource file loading path, and the engine plug-in sends a target file path to a target engine, wherein the method comprises the following steps of: the engine plug-in sends a dynamic library file storage path and a resource file loading path to the target engine.

For the engine plug-in can extract the resource file from the APK and can also keep the resource file in the APK, the following three possible processing cases exist for the resource file in the target file:

case one, the engine plug-in may be from keeping the resource file in APK, specifically:

optionally, acquiring the resource file loading path includes:

analyzing the application program installation package, acquiring a storage path of the application program installation package, and taking the storage path of the application program installation package as a resource file loading path.

As described above, only the dynamic library file and the target engine are extracted from the APK, and the resource file is not extracted, and the resource file is still included in the APK, and then the resource file loading path is consistent with the storage path of the APK, and then the obtaining the resource file loading path may be:

the engine plug-in can analyze the application program installation package to determine the storage path of the application program installation package, so that the target engine takes the storage path of the application program installation package as a resource file loading path.

The engine plug-in may send the resource file loading path and the dynamic library file storing path to the target engine, so that the target engine may query the resource file based on the resource file loading path, query the dynamic library file based on the dynamic library file storing path, and the target engine may run the second application program based on the resource file and the dynamic library file.

It should be noted that, in practice, the engine plug-in extracts the dynamic library file and the APK after the target engine, and the APK further includes a basic installation package (the basic installation package may be understood as a portion of the APK excluding the target engine, the dynamic library file and the resource file), and the target engine may also extract the basic installation package from the storage path of the APK, so that the second application program is operated together based on the basic installation package, the resource file and the dynamic library file.

In the second case, the engine plug-in may extract a resource file from the APK, divide the resource file into a plurality of game data files, and store the plurality of game data files in the game data file storage path, specifically:

optionally, the second application is a gaming application; the resource file also comprises a plurality of game data files;

The obtaining of the resource file loading path comprises the following steps:

analyzing the game data file to obtain a game data file storage path, and taking the storage path of the application program installation package and the game data file storage path as a resource file loading path.

In this embodiment, for a part of application shops, the installation package that is not allowed to upload is too large, for example, some platforms cannot upload data packages larger than 100M, and then after the engine plug-in extracts the target engine and the dynamic library file from the application installation package, the engine plug-in may further extract the resource files from the application installation package (the resource files in the case one and the case three generally refer to all the resource files, in this embodiment, all the resource files may be extracted, and part of the resource files may be extracted), and the resource files are subjected to sub-packaging processing, and divided into at least one game data file, where the game data file is an extension file and can be divided into two types: main files and patch files. The engine plug-in will extract the target engine, dynamic library files and the remainder of the resource files from the application installation package as the base installation package.

The engine plug-in can store the game data file obtained by dividing the resource file in a game data file storage path, and if the basic installation package is still reserved in the APK of the second application program, the storage path of the basic installation package is consistent with the storage path of the APK, and the specific steps are that:

The engine plug-in can analyze the application program installation package to determine a storage path of the application program installation package, and in this embodiment, the storage path of the application program installation package can be used as a storage path of a basic installation package;

the target engine can also analyze the game data file to obtain a game data file storage path, the game data file storage path is used as a game data file storage path, and the game data file storage path can be different from the basic installation package storage path, so that the engine plug-in unit takes the storage path of the application program installation package and the game data file storage path together as a resource file loading path.

The engine plug-in may send a resource file loading path and a dynamic library file storage path to the target engine, so that the target engine obtains a basic installation package based on a basic installation package storage path query in the resource file loading path, obtains a plurality of game data files based on a game data file storage path query in the resource file loading path, and obtains a dynamic library file based on the dynamic library file storage path query, thereby the target engine runs the second application program based on the basic installation package, the plurality of game data files and the dynamic library file.

In the third case, the engine plug-in may extract a subroutine installation package containing the resource file from the APK, and store the subroutine installation package in the resource file storage path, specifically:

optionally, after extracting the dynamic library file based on the application installation package, the method further includes:

taking the application program installation package after extracting the target engine and the dynamic library file as a subprogram installation package;

acquiring a resource file loading path, including:

acquiring a preset resource file storage path; the resource file storage path is a preset path accessible to the first application program;

storing the subroutine installation package in a resource file storage path;

transmitting the dynamic library file storage path and the resource file loading path to the target engine, comprising:

the dynamic library file storage path and the resource file storage path are sent to the target engine.

The engine plug-in can take the application program installation package after extracting the target engine and the dynamic library file as a sub program installation package, and the sub program installation package comprises a resource file, and the engine plug-in can reset a storage path for the sub program installation package, specifically:

the engine plug-in may acquire a preset resource file storage path, where the resource file storage path is a preset path accessible to the first application program, so that the engine plug-in may store the sub-program installation package in the resource file storage path, and then the engine plug-in may send the dynamic library file storage path and the resource file storage path to the target engine, so that the target engine may acquire the dynamic library file from the dynamic library file storage path, and acquire the sub-program installation package from the resource file storage path, and the target engine may run the second application program based on the dynamic library file and the resource file in the sub-program installation package.

It should be noted that, in practice, the sub-program installation package further includes a basic installation package (the basic installation package may be understood as a portion of APK that is remained after the target engine, the dynamic library file, and the resource file are removed), and the target engine may also obtain the basic installation package from the sub-program installation package, so that the second application program is run together based on the basic installation package, the resource file, and the dynamic library file.

Fig. 2 illustrates a program running method of the present disclosure from the perspective of an engine plug-in, and with reference to fig. 3, the program running method of the present disclosure is discussed from the perspective of a target engine, the method being performed by the target engine running on a first application, the method may include:

step S301, receiving a target file path sent by an engine plug-in; the engine plug-in is a plug-in loaded by the first application program and used for running the second application program;

Step S302, obtaining a target file from a target file path;

step S303, running a second application program based on the acquired target file.

The embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the embodiment of fig. 2, and the specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention may refer to the related discussion of the embodiment of fig. 2, which is not repeated here.

In this embodiment, after receiving the target file path sent by the engine plug-in, because the target file path is a storage path of the target file, the target engine may acquire the target file from the target file path and run the second application program based on the acquired target file, and because the target file and the target engine are acquired by the engine plug-in based on the APK of the second application program, the target engine runs the second application program based on the acquired target file, which is equivalent to running the second application program through the target engine and the target file of the native second application program, compared with the existing scheme, the second application program can be experienced by taking the first application program as the host APP, thereby improving the performance of the program during running and enriching the user experience.

In this embodiment, the target engine may implement redirection of the target file based on the target file path to obtain the target file, where the target file includes a resource file and a dynamic library file, and the target engine first redirects the resource file and then redirects the dynamic library file, specifically:

1. The redirection process of the resource file comprises the following steps:

as in the above three possible cases, one possible case is that the resource file is still stored in the storage path of the application installation package, and then the target engine may acquire the resource file from the storage path of the application installation package after initialization.

In another possible scenario, if a portion of the resource file is divided into a plurality of game data files, the plurality of game data files are stored in the game data file storage path, the base installation package is still stored in the application installation package storage path, and the target engine may obtain the plurality of game data files and the base installation package based on the game data file storage path and the application installation package storage path, respectively.

In another possible case, the resource file is included in a sub-program installation package, the sub-program installation package is stored in a resource file storage path, and the resource file storage path is different from the storage path of the program installation package, so that the sub-program installation package including the resource file can be obtained from the resource file storage path after the target engine is initialized.

2. The redirection process of the dynamic library file is as follows:

optionally, if the target file includes a dynamic library file, the step of obtaining the target file from the target file path in step S303 may include:

Acquiring a dynamic library file from a target file path;

and if the dynamic library file is not acquired, acquiring the dynamic library file from a system directory of a system where the first application program is located.

In this embodiment, the target engine may obtain a dynamic library file from the target file path, where the dynamic library file is a dynamic library file of the second application program, if the dynamic library file is not obtained, the target engine may use the dynamic library file in the system directory to perform the spam, where the system where the first application program is located may store a plurality of dynamic library files, where the plurality of dynamic library files may be dynamic library files corresponding to the plurality of application programs respectively, and the target engine may obtain any dynamic library file from the system directory where the first application program is located, where one possible case is that if the any dynamic library file is a dynamic library file corresponding to the second application program, the target engine may operate the second application program based on using the dynamic library file as the target file; another possibility is that if any of the dynamic library files is not a dynamic library file of the second application, the target engine cannot run the second application based on the dynamic library file, i.e. the second application fails to run.

The target file path accessible to the first application and the system directory may be the lib directory, which is determined by the CPU model, and when the target engine looks up the dynamic library file,
