It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present application are shown in the drawings.

Example 1

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a processing method of an application installation package according to a first embodiment of the present application, where the embodiment may be executed by a server, and may be adapted to determine a scenario of an installation source of software (or an application program) when the software (or the application program) is promoted and operated, for example, determine who the user recommends the software installed by, or from which channel the software originates.

The embodiment specifically may include the following steps:

step 110, a link acquisition request for a target application program sent by a first account is received.

The first account may be an inviter account, for example, the first account may be a channel number of a promotion channel, or the first account may be a user account using a target application.

In one possible scenario, the first account may initiate a link acquisition request for the target application through a client of the target application or a designated website. For example, when the user of the first account wants to share the current target application program, after logging in the target application program or designating the website by using the first account, the client of the target application program or designating a designated button (such as a sharing button or an invite button) in the designated website may be clicked, and after the client of the target application program or designating the website detects a triggering operation of the first account on the designated button, a link acquisition request for the target application program may be generated according to the first account, and the link acquisition request may be sent to the server.

For example, the link acquisition request may include the first account and an identification of the target application.

And step 120, acquiring an installation package identification list of the target application program according to the link acquisition request, and determining a target installation package identification from the installation package identification list.

In this step, after receiving the link acquisition request, the server may parse the link acquisition request to obtain the first account and the identifier of the target application.

After obtaining the identifier of the target application, the server may search the file storing the identifier list of the installation package for the identifier of the target application, so as to determine whether the identifier of the target application has the corresponding identifier list of the installation package. If the corresponding installation package identification list cannot be found, the tracing process of the software source can be performed in a general manner, for example, by prompting the user to input an invitation code to determine the software installation source.

And if the installation package identification list corresponding to the identification of the target application program is found, reading the installation package identification list. In this embodiment, the above-described installation package identification list may include installation package identifications of a plurality of installation packages generated in advance for the target application. Specifically, in this embodiment, a batch of installation packages may be generated in advance for the target application program, where each installation package carries an installation package identifier (such as an installation package number) that uniquely identifies the installation package, and an installation package identifier list may also be used to record the installation package identifier of the installation package generated for the target application program.

After obtaining the installation package identification list of the target application program, the server may select an unassigned installation package identification from the installation package identification list as the target installation package identification assigned to the first account.

And step 130, recording the association relation between the target installation package identification and the first account.

In this step, after determining the target installation package identifier allocated to the first account, the server may generate an association relationship between the target installation package identifier and the first account, and record the association relationship. In one implementation, the association may be recorded in a relational data table.

And 140, generating an invitation link according to the target installation package identification, and sending the invitation link to the first account so as to send the invitation link to other accounts by the first account.

In this step, after determining the target installation package identifier, the server may generate an invitation link according to a preset invitation link generation rule according to the target installation package identifier, and send the invitation link to the first account.

After receiving the invitation link, the first account may send the invitation link to other accounts; or the first account may also share the invitation link into a social space (e.g., QQ space, circle of friends, forum, etc.). And the other accounts can download the target installation package corresponding to the target installation package identifier from the webpage corresponding to the invitation link, and install and run the target application program.

Example two

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a processing method of an application installation package according to a second embodiment of the present application, where the embodiment is described in more detail on the basis of the first embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the embodiment may specifically include the following steps:

step 210, generating a plurality of installation packages for the target application program, wherein each installation package has a corresponding installation package identifier.

In this embodiment, a batch of installation packages may be produced in advance for an application, and each installation package has a corresponding installation package identification that uniquely identifies the installation package. The number of installation packages of one batch may be determined according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment, for example, the number of application downloads of the current application in the last period of time (for example, the last two hours) may be counted, and the number of installation packages of one batch may be determined to be N times the number of downloads, for example, the number of installation packages of one batch=the number of downloads×5.

In one embodiment, when a server generates a batch of installation packages, under the condition that the generated installation package file accords with an installation package format, a tail (a piece of data) containing an installation package identifier can be inserted after the installation package file, so that a plurality of installation packages are obtained, the installation packages are generated without recompilation, and CPU resources and time are saved.

In another embodiment, step 210 may include the steps of:

and step 210-1, generating a basic installation package of the target application program.

In one embodiment, the source code of the target application program can be compiled into a basic installation package by adopting a native android compiling mode, and the process can comprise the following steps: the first step: and packaging the resource file and generating an R.java file. The process can utilize aapt tools to package Resource files, android management.xml files and Android basic class libraries (android.jar files); and a second step of: and processing the AIDL (Android Interface Definition Language ) file to generate a corresponding java file. In the step, a aidl tool can be utilized to generate a source code file, a aidl file and a frame work file into corresponding java files; and a third step of: and compiling the Java file to generate a corresponding class file. In the step, a javac tool can be utilized to compile a source code file (comprising a java file generated by R.java and AIDL) and a library file (jar file) into a class file; fourth step: the class file is converted to a Davik VM supported dex file. The class files in this step may include Aidl generated class files, R generated class files, source file generated class files, and library files (. Jar files), which are ultimately converted to. Dex files; fifth step: packaging to generate an unsigned apk file. Packaging the packaged resource file, the packaged class file (dex file) and the libs file into an unsigned apk file by utilizing a apkbuilder tool; sixth step: using jarsigner to sign the unsigned apk file to obtain a signed file; seventh step: and carrying out alignment processing on the signed apk file by using zipalign tools to obtain a basic installation package.

The basic installation package obtained through the process is an original installation package obtained by compiling the original code of the target application program without any channel information or installation package identification.

The base installation package is typically presented in the form of a compressed file. In this embodiment, "compiling" is a broad term compiling, and includes all processes of processing a source code file and a configuration file to generate an installation file, including, for example, compiling a source code file to generate an executable program, an explanatory file, and the like, and also includes generating a compression package, an installation program, and the like that support automatic installation of an application program.

And 210-2, copying the basic installation package to obtain a temporary installation package, and writing the installation package identification information in the appointed position of the temporary installation package to obtain the installation package containing the installation package identification.

In this step, the generated basic installation package may be copied to obtain a plurality of temporary installation packages, so that the temporary installation packages are modified later to obtain installation packages carrying different installation package identifiers for the target application program.

In one implementation, the temporary identification files may be generated from installation package identifications, one for each installation package identification, and then named by the installation package identifications. In one example, the temporary identification file may be an empty file.

After obtaining the temporary identification file, the temporary identification file may be written into a file directory (i.e., a designated location) in the temporary installation package, where the file directory does not affect signature authentication, for example, the temporary identification file is written into a META-INF directory in the temporary installation package, and then the temporary installation package is named by using the installation package identifier and the identifier of the target application program, so as to obtain the installation package containing the installation package identifier.

And 220, generating an installation package identification list according to the installation package identifications of the plurality of installation packages.

In this step, after a plurality of installation packages are generated for the target application, the installation package identifications of the respective installation packages may be acquired and organized into an installation package identification list.

And step 230, uploading the plurality of installation packages to a content distribution network server for storage.

In this step, since the storage space and bandwidth of the server are limited, in order to increase the download speed of the installation package, the server may upload the plurality of installation packages to the CDN (Content Delivery Network ) server after generating the plurality of installation packages of the target application, and store the installation packages by the CDN server.

Step 240, receiving a link acquisition request for the target application program, where the link acquisition request is sent by the first account.

The first account may be an inviter account, for example, the first account may be a channel number of a promotion channel, or the first account may be a user account using a target application. The link acquisition request may include an identification of the first account and the target application.

Step 250, according to the link obtaining request, obtaining an installation package identification list of the target application program, and determining a target installation package identification from the installation package identification list.

The server may find a corresponding installation package identifier list according to the parsed identifier of the target application, and then, the server may select an unassigned installation package identifier from the installation package identifier list as the target installation package identifier assigned to the first account. For example, an unassigned installation package identifier is randomly selected from the installation package identifier list, or an unassigned installation package identifier is sequentially selected from the installation package identifier list as the target installation package identifier.

In one embodiment, the step of determining the target installation package identifier from the installation package identifier list may further include the following steps:

and randomly selecting an installation package identifier from the installation package identifiers without the allocated labels in the installation package identifier list as a target installation package identifier.

In this embodiment, for the installation package identifications that have been allocated in the installation package identification list, an allocated tag may be added in the corresponding record of the installation package identification list. When selecting the target installation package identifier, the installation package identifier without the allocated tag can be selected from the installation package identifier list, and then one installation package identifier is randomly selected from the selected installation package identifiers as the target installation package identifier.

Step 260, adding an allocated label to the target installation package identifier in the installation package identifier list, and recording time information of the target installation package identifier allocated to the first account.

In this embodiment, for the assigned installation package identifier in the installation package identifier list, the time information when the assigned installation package identifier is assigned may be recorded in addition to the assigned tag. Then, in step 260, after determining the target installation package identification, an assigned tag may be added to the target installation package identification in the installation package identification list and the time information that the target installation package identification was assigned to the first account may be recorded. The time information is used to determine an assigned duration of the corresponding installation package identification.

Step 270, recording the association relationship between the target installation package identifier and the first account.

And 280, generating an invitation link according to the target installation package identification, and sending the invitation link to the first account so as to send the invitation link to other accounts by the first account.

In one implementation, after determining the target installation package identifier, the server may generate, according to the target installation package identifier and a preset splicing rule, a storage address of a target installation package corresponding to the target installation package identifier in the CDN, generate, according to the target installation package identifier and the corresponding storage address, an invitation link, and then send the invitation link to the first account.

After receiving the invitation link, the first account may send the invitation link to other accounts; or the first account may also share the invitation link into a social space (e.g., QQ space, circle of friends, forum, etc.). And the other accounts can download the target installation package corresponding to the target installation package identifier from the webpage corresponding to the invitation link, and install and run the target application program according to the target installation package.

And step 290, according to the time information, when the allocation time length of the target installation package identifier reaches the designated time length, generating a deletion request according to the target installation package identifier.

Step 2110, sending the deletion request to the content distribution network server, so as to cause the content distribution network server to delete the corresponding target installation package according to the deletion request.

In one embodiment, the server may monitor each piece of time information recorded in the installation package identifier list, calculate a time difference between each piece of time information and the current time as an allocation duration, and if the allocation duration corresponding to a piece of time information reaches a specified duration, for example, the allocation duration exceeds 12 hours, determine an installation package identifier corresponding to the piece of time information, generate a deletion request according to the installation package identifier, and send the deletion request to the CDN server, so as to notify the CDN server to delete an installation package corresponding to the installation package identifier, thereby saving a storage space of the CDN server. Meanwhile, the installation package identifier reaching the specified duration can be deleted from the installation package identifier list.

Then, for the target installation package, according to the time information of the target installation package identifier allocated to the first account, an expiration time obtained by adding a specified duration (for example, 12 hours) to the time information may be calculated, when the expiration time arrives, it is determined that the allocation duration of the target installation package identifier has reached the specified duration, at this time, a deletion request may be generated according to the target installation package identifier, and the deletion request may be sent to the CDN server, so as to cause the CDN server to delete the corresponding target installation package according to the deletion request, and then, the target installation package identifier may also be deleted in the installation package identifier list.

Step 2120 of determining a number of unassigned package identifiers in the list of package identifiers as a first number and determining a number of assigned package identifiers in a last set period of time as a second number.

In step 2130, if the first number is less than the second number, generating a plurality of installation packages corresponding to the target application program, and uploading the plurality of installation packages to a content distribution network server for storage.

In this embodiment, the server may also examine the number of remaining installation packages for the target application to determine the consumption of the installation packages, and if the number of remaining installation packages does not meet the requirements, e.g., less than a set point, a new batch of installation packages may be regenerated as needed.

In one embodiment, the server may calculate the number of the installation package identifications that are not allocated (i.e., there are no allocated tags) in the installation package identification list as the first number, i.e., the number of unused installation packages. Meanwhile, the server may also calculate the number of the installation package identifications allocated (i.e., having the allocated tag) within the last set period of time (e.g., the last 2 hours) as the second number, i.e., the number of the installation packages used within the last period of time. And comparing the first quantity with the second quantity, if the first quantity is smaller than the second quantity, generating a batch of installation packages for the target application program again, and uploading the batch of installation packages to a CDN server for storage. For example, a second number of installation packages may be regenerated 5 times for the target application.

In this embodiment, by generating a plurality of installation packages including installation package identifiers for a target application in advance, and generating an installation package identifier list according to the installation package identifiers of the plurality of installation packages, after receiving a link acquisition request for the target application sent by a first account, the target installation package identifier allocated to the first account may be directly determined from the installation package identifier list, and an association relationship between the target installation package identifier and the first account is recorded, then an invitation link is generated according to the target installation package identifier, and the invitation link is sent to the first account, so that the first account sends the invitation link to other accounts. The method and the device have the advantages that the invitation link is generated for the first account, and because the generated installation package does not contain channel information, any channel can apply for the invitation link through the method, decoupling of the channel and the installation package is achieved, compared with the method of generating a plurality of exclusive installation packages for different channels, the problem that the exclusive installation packages are wasted if a certain channel is not used up can be avoided, and the utilization rate of the installation packages can be improved.

In addition, the generated installation packages are uploaded to the CDN server for storage, so that the downloading speed of the installation packages can be increased, the storage space of the server is saved, and when the residual installation packages in the CDN do not meet the requirements, the installation packages can be regenerated for supplementing, and the problem of insufficient installation packages is avoided. In addition, the embodiment can also delete the over-period installation package in the CDN in time, thereby ensuring that the precious CDN storage space is effectively utilized.

Example III

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for determining an installation source of an application according to a third embodiment of the present application, where the embodiment may be executed by a server, and the first and second embodiments focus on a process of responding to an inviter, and the third embodiment focuses on a process of responding to an invitee.

The embodiment specifically may include the following steps:

Step 310, obtaining the to-be-traced installation package identification.

In this embodiment, the to-be-traced installation package identification may be an identification of the target installation package being installed.

In one embodiment, step 310 may include the steps of:

And receiving a to-be-traced installation package identifier sent by a second account, wherein the to-be-traced installation package identifier is an identifier obtained after the second account downloads a corresponding target installation package according to a received invitation link and installs the target installation package.

In this embodiment, the server may obtain the to-be-traced installation package identification from the second account. Wherein the second account may be an invitee account. The to-be-traced installation package identifier may be an installation package identifier obtained by downloading a corresponding target installation package according to the received invitation link by the second account and installing the target installation package, where the target installation package is a selected installation package from a plurality of installation packages generated by the server for the target application program.

In one possible scenario, after obtaining the invitation link, the first account may send the invitation link to a second account, which may be an account of the user of the unregistered target application. The second account opens the introduction page (or download page) of the target application through the invitation link and clicks the "download" button to download the target installation package and install the target application according to the target installation package. When the second account installs the target application program and runs the target application program for the first time, the client side of the target application program where the second account is located can obtain the installation package identifier of the current target installation package, serve as the installation package identifier to be traced, and send the installation package identifier to be traced to the server.

In one implementation, the client of the target application program where the second account is located may generate a tracing request according to the identifier of the to-be-traced installation package, and send the tracing request to the server, where the tracing request may include the identifier of the to-be-traced installation package.

And step 320, searching the to-be-traced installation package identification in a relation data table.

In this embodiment, a relationship data table may be maintained in the server, where the relationship data table records one or more of the assigned installation package identifications and the associated relationship of the channel side identifications to which each installation package identification is assigned. Wherein the channel side identification may be an identification of the person or platform that initiated the invitation link.

After the server receives the identifier of the to-be-traced installation package, the identifier of the to-be-traced installation package can be searched in the relational data table so as to determine the corresponding channel side identifier.

And 330, if the identifier of the installation package to be traced is found in the relation data table, obtaining a corresponding channel identifier from the found association relation as an installation source of the target installation package.

In this step, if the server can find the identifier of the to-be-traced installation package in the relational data table, the corresponding channel identifier can be read from the record corresponding to the identifier of the to-be-traced installation package in the relational data table, and the channel identifier can be used as an installation source of the target installation package.

In one embodiment, after determining the installation source of the target installation package, the present embodiment may further include the steps of:

And recording the invitation relationship between the second account and the channel side identifier corresponding to the identifier of the installation package to be traced.

In this embodiment, after determining the identifier of the channel party corresponding to the identifier of the installation package to be traced, the server may generate an association relationship between the second account and the identifier of the channel party, as the invitation relationship, and store the invitation relationship.

After determining the installation source of the target installation package, the server may send the installation source to the second account.

In this embodiment, the server maintains a relationship data table recording association relationships between one or more allocated installation package identifiers and channel side identifiers to which each installation package identifier is allocated, and after the server obtains the installation package identifier to be traced, the server may search the relationship data table for the installation package identifier to be traced, and when the installation package identifier to be traced is searched, obtain the corresponding channel side identifier from the searched association relationship as an installation source of the target installation package, thereby implementing simple and accurate source tracing of the application program, and providing greater convenience for software popularization and operation.
