Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Furthermore, the use of "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, e.g., a and/or B, meaning that it includes a single a, a single B, and that there are three cases of a and B.
In embodiments of the invention, words such as "exemplary" or "such as" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g." in an embodiment should not be taken as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete fashion.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of an application program upgrading method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to an electronic device including a first service process and an upgrade package process. As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the steps of:
step 101, under the condition that an upgrade instruction is received, the first service process acquires the administrator authority.
The upgrading method of the application program provided by the embodiment of the invention is used for realizing silent upgrading of the application program. Silent upgrading means that the upgrading of the application program can be automatically completed without disturbing the user, and the user is not disturbed, particularly the UAC popup window is not popped up. The method for upgrading the application program provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to electronic equipment such as Windows operating systems, and the electronic equipment can be a computer, a server or other network equipment.
For example, the method for upgrading an application program provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a computer with a Windows operating system and is used for managing the upgrading of the application program installed on the computer. The first service process may be understood as a Microsoft Windows service process, and the first service process may be started automatically when the computer is started, or may be started manually after the computer is started, or may be started by other processes. Wherein, the automatic start of the first service process when the computer is started can be understood as: the first service process is started in the process of starting the Windows operating system. It should be noted that, after the computer is started, the user may actively control the first service process that is currently started to be suspended or restarted.
It should be appreciated that the first service process need not be exposed through any interface when it is started or suspended. Thus, the first service process can be used on the server and can run for a long time, and the long-time running of the first service process has little influence on other processes working on the same computer.
In addition to the first service process being started following the start of the operating system, the first service process may be started by other processes in a closed state, which is described in detail later. In this case, when the new version of the application program is released, the first service process can timely receive the upgrade instruction, and timely provide the latest version of service for the user of the application program. The upgrade instruction is issued by the target application program in the running condition, specifically, the upgrade instruction is issued by the server to which the target application program corresponds.
In the embodiment of the invention, the first service process is a service process corresponding to a target application program to be upgraded. Specifically, the service processes and the application programs can be in one-to-one correspondence; alternatively, a service process may be used to implement silent upgrade of multiple applications when multiple applications are corresponding to the service process. Further, taking the first service process as an example, when the first service process is used for implementing silent upgrade of a plurality of application programs, the first service process may be used for implementing silent upgrade of all application programs in the electronic device, or the first service process may also be used for implementing silent upgrade of one or more preset application programs. For example, the electronic device may be provided with a plurality of service processes, where the service process a is used to implement silent upgrade of the game application, the service process b is used to implement silent upgrade of the communication application, and the service process c is used to implement silent upgrade of the video application, which is not exhaustive.
In the embodiment of the invention, before the first service process acquires the administrator authority, the system authority is acquired first. The system rights are also referred to as system rights, and the first service process has the ability to acquire the system rights, so that the system rights can be acquired by the first service process. The system permission is utilized to upgrade the application program, the UAC popup window can be avoided, but the problem that the application program cannot acquire a correct path during installation and the like can be caused, so that the method for upgrading the application program based on the system permission acquires the associated manager permission, and the manager permission is utilized to upgrade the application program, and the problem that the application program cannot acquire the correct path during installation and the like can be avoided.
The system authority is related to operation management of the system, and the administrator authority and the general authority are related to operation management of the user. In particular, system rights may be understood as rights of the operating system itself. The administrator authority may be understood as an operation authority owned by an administrator user (administrator), and the general authority is an authority owned by a general user. Wherein the administrator authority is greater than the authority of the ordinary user. For example, in one embodiment, the administrator privileges may include operating privileges to access applications, install applications, delete applications, upgrade applications, and change system settings. The general rights include operation rights to access the application.
Step 102, the first service process starts an upgrade package process of a target application program associated with the first service process by using the administrator authority.
The target application program is an application program to be upgraded in the embodiment of the invention. The upgrade package process is started by utilizing the administrator authority acquired by the first service process, and the upgrade package process of the target application program has the administrator authority, so that the UAC popup window can be prevented from being popped up in the upgrade process, silent upgrade is realized, the upgrade steps of the application program are simplified, and the convenience of application program upgrade is improved.
Step 103, the upgrade package process upgrades the target application program.
It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present invention, the timing of upgrading the application program is not particularly limited. For example, the upgrade may be performed when the application is started or the electronic device is started, may be performed while the user is using the application, or may be performed when the application is running in the background.
According to the upgrading method of the application program, provided by the embodiment of the invention, the administrator authority is obtained through the first service process, so that the upgrading of the target application program is realized, the silent upgrading of the application program is realized, the UAC popup window is prevented from being popped up in the upgrading process, the upgrading step of the application program is simplified, the operation of the application program which is required to be participated by a user is less, and the convenience of the application program upgrading is improved; meanwhile, the application program can be conveniently and quickly iterated, and new functions can be quickly released. In the prior art, by popup UAC popup window, upgrade authorization is requested to a user, and after upgrade authorization of the user is obtained, application program upgrade is performed, and the blocking type behavior disturbs the user, influences user experience, easily causes fragmentation of application program version, and causes that a server needs to consume corresponding resources to realize compatible multi-version application programs. In contrast, the method for upgrading the application program provided by the embodiment of the invention simplifies the upgrading steps of the application program, improves the convenience of upgrading the application program, can avoid unnecessary resource consumption to a certain extent, and improves the utilization rate of resources.
It should be appreciated that, in an alternative embodiment, before performing the step of obtaining the administrator rights by the first service process, the method further includes:
the upgrade package process creates a first service process with the administrator rights. After the application program is installed and when the application program is upgraded, the upgrade package process creates a first service process by using the administrator authority.
As previously described, the first service process may correspond to an application program one by one. The first service process may also correspond to a class of applications, which may be understood as a plurality of applications of the same class. The first service process may also be adapted to all applications. When the first service process corresponds to the application program one by one, the response speed of the computer side can be improved. When the first service process is adapted to all applications, the resource occupation on the computer side can be reduced.
It should be noted that, when an application program starts from installation, it may undergo multiple upgrade processes. The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is suitable for the installation scene and the upgrading scene of the application program. It can be understood that the installation package process and the upgrade package process are different in names based on different scenes, so for convenience of description, the upgrade package process is directly taken as an example for illustration. It should be appreciated that in the scenario of initial installation of an application, the upgrade package process actually behaves as an installation package process; in any upgrade scene of the application program, the upgrade is realized through an upgrade package process, and is irrelevant to an installation package process.
Specifically, the initial installation of the application is typically manually triggered by a user, which may also be referred to as manual installation. In this case, the first service process is created in response to the user manually installing the application, when the application is in the first upgrade after installation. When a user manually installs an application program, the installation package process acquires the administrator authority based on the user request, and then the installation package process creates a first service process by using the administrator authority and modifies the DACL of the first service process. In an embodiment, the first service process is a service process created at the time of manual installation of (an installation package process of) the associated target application, in which case the administrator authority may be obtained by popup UAC popup authorization in the case of initial installation and manual installation, the installation package process creates the first service process with the administrator authority and modifies the DACL of the first service process.
In the subsequent upgrading process (not the first upgrade) of the application program, the first service process obtains the administrator authority based on the service process corresponding to the last upgrade when the application program is upgraded last time, and the upgrade package process creates the first service process by using the administrator authority and modifies the DACL of the first service process. At this time, this will be described later in connection with the specific implementation of S103.
Specifically, the installation package process or the upgrade package process registers the first service process with the computer operating system, modifies the DACL of the first service process, and the computer operating system and any process with ordinary rights can start the first service process.
The installation package process is used for installing the application program, and the upgrade package process is used for upgrading the application program.
Optionally, in an embodiment, the electronic device further includes an upgrade process, where the upgrade process may be used to determine whether the application program supports upgrade, and in a case where the application program supports upgrade, the upgrade process downloads an upgrade package corresponding to the application program, and the upgrade process notifies the first service process (or a second service process mentioned later) to start the upgrade package process, that is, the upgrade process may be used to trigger the upgrade package process.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the starting right of the first service process is a common right, which means that the first service process can be started by any process having the common right.
The starting right of the first service process may be set automatically when the first service process is created, or may be set after the first service process is created.
In particular, the startup authority of the first service process may be set or modified by modifying the autonomous access control list (Discretionary Access Control List, DACL) of the first service process so that the first service process can be started by any process having ordinary authority. In an actual implementation scenario, the DACL of the first service process is modified by an upgrade package process (an installation package process in an APP installation scenario).
Under the condition that the target application program is initially installed and the initial installation is manual installation, acquiring the authority of an administrator by popping up a UAC popup window; the installation package process modifies the DACL of the first service process by using the administrator rights so that the starting rights of the first service process are ordinary rights, and the first service process can be started by any process with ordinary rights. For example, the upgrade process and the main process of the application program are processes having ordinary rights, and the first service process may be started by the upgrade process or the main process of the application program.
The starting authority of a process may be an administrator authority or a normal authority, and when the starting authority of a process is an administrator authority, the process may be started by other processes having the administrator authority, and the process may not be started by other processes having the normal authority. When the starting authority of a process is the ordinary authority, the process can be started by any process with the ordinary authority, and of course, the process can also be started by other processes with the administrator authority. The administrator authority is greater than the normal authority. If the DACL of the first service process is not modified, the first service process can only be restarted by processes that have administrator rights when the first service process is blocked and disabled by the computer security tool. Therefore, the DACL of the first service process is modified so that the starting authority of the first service process is the ordinary authority, the first service process can be started by any process with the ordinary authority, and the reliability of the upgrading method of the application program is improved.
Optionally, the electronic device further includes a third process, and the method further includes: and when the first service process stops running, the third process starts the first service process. In this embodiment, the third process may be a main process of the application program, and the main process of the application program may monitor an operation state of each process in the application package, and when the main process monitors that the first service process stops operating, the main process starts the first service process. Alternatively, the host process may access the first service process every fixed period of time, and when the host process monitors that the first service process is stopped, the host process starts the first service process. In addition, the third process may be any process related to the upgrade process and at least has a common authority, which is not limited in particular by the embodiment of the present invention.
And under the condition that the application program is initially installed and the initial installation is manually installed, acquiring the administrator authority in a manner of popup of the UAC popup window. Or in the subsequent upgrading process, the administrator authority can be obtained through the service process created by the last upgrade. In summary, the upgrade package process having administrator rights modifies the DACL of the first service process through the service control manager (Service Control Manager, SCM), specifically as follows:
a) Adding default authority of a local system;
b) Adding default rights of an administrator;
c) Adding a default right of the authenticated user;
d) Adding default rights of the advanced user;
e) The right to "start service, stop interactive user service" is added.
When the step of adding the right of the start service and stopping the interactive user service is completed, the starting right of the first service process is the common right, and the first service process can be started by any process with the common right.
The default authority may be understood as an original authority or a self-contained authority, for example, the default authority of the local system may be understood as an original authority of the local system or a self-contained authority of the local system.
In this embodiment, the upgrade package process modifies the DACL of the first service process using the administrator authority, so that when the first service process is disabled, the first service process may still be started by any process having the ordinary authority; when an application program is started, a first service process can be actively started through any process with ordinary authority; the success rate of the application program upgrading is improved, and the reliability of the application program upgrading method is improved.
The computer security tool may intercept a first service process that is started upon startup of the windows system. The purpose of the upgrade package process to modify the DACL of the first service process is: after the target application is started, the target application can have authority to rescue (start up) the first service process.
And under the condition that the target application program is initially installed and manually installed, the administrator authority is obtained through popup of the UAC popup window, and the upgrade package process utilizes the administrator authority to modify the DACL of the first service process.
The specific implementation of step S103 will now be further described based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the step of upgrading the target application program by the upgrade package process may include:
the upgrade package process upgrades the version of the target application program;
the upgrade package process creates a second service process corresponding to the upgrade package process based on the administrator authority, and modifies DACL of the second service process, wherein the second service process is used for starting the upgrade package process when upgrading next time.
In other words, in the embodiment of the invention, in addition to the version upgrade of the application program, the service process matched with the version upgrade is recreated in the process of each upgrade. Accordingly, during or after the creation of a new service process (i.e. the second service process mentioned above), the DACL of the second service process may be modified such that the starting right of the second service process is the normal right. It can be understood that after the upgrade is completed, if the target application program needs to be upgraded again, the second service process undertakes the processing undertaken by the first service process in the upgrade process.
The upgrade process is specifically described in two aspects:
in one aspect, the manner of upgrading the version of the target application program may be: the upgrading process in the electronic equipment downloads an upgrading packet corresponding to the target application program; the upgrade package process releases an upgrade component of the upgrade package; and the upgrade package process upgrades the target application program by utilizing the upgrade component.
The step of downloading the upgrade package corresponding to the target application program by the upgrade package process, the step of releasing the upgrade package by the upgrade package process and the step of upgrading the target application program by the upgrade package process by utilizing the upgrade package are all completed by utilizing the authority of an administrator.
When the server corresponding to the application program issues the new version of the application program, the upgrade process downloads the upgrade package corresponding to the target application program, which can be downloaded when the application program is started, can be downloaded in the process that the user is using the application program, and can also be downloaded when the application program stops running, without limitation. Similarly, the step of releasing the upgrade package by the upgrade package process and the step of upgrading the target application program by the upgrade package process using the upgrade package may be performed when the application program is started, may be performed during the process that the user is using the application program, and may be performed when the application program stops running, which is not limited.
An upgrade package is a collection of self-decompressing files, including all files needed to install an application. And running the upgrade package (executable file) to release all files of the application program to the hard disk, thereby completing the work of modifying the registry, modifying the system setting, creating the shortcut and the like.
After the upgrade process downloads the upgrade package, the upgrade package process firstly decompresses the upgrade package, the upgrade package process releases the upgrade component of the upgrade package, and the upgrade package replaces the old version of the application program by the released upgrade component to upgrade the application program to the new version. The upgrade component is a component of a version of the application program after upgrade, and includes files in the forms of dll, exe and the like.
The target application upgrade is completed with the target application started or running. When the target application upgrade is performed with the target application program stopped running, the first service process fails to upgrade because it is vulnerable to interception by the computer security tool. Thus, the target application upgrade is completed with the target application started or running, which may improve the success rate of the upgrade.
In one embodiment, when the target application is being started, the upgrade process notifies the first service process, the first service process obtains the administrator authority, the first service process starts the upgrade package process, and the upgrade package process releases the upgrade component of the upgrade package to upgrade the target application. The application program upgrading is completed when the application program is started, the replacement of the new version is completed in the process of starting the application program, the disturbance to the user is reduced, the user is not interfered to use the application program, and the user experience is good.
In an embodiment, the application program is updated in the running process of the application program, so that the overlong starting time of the application program caused by the updating of the application program in starting is avoided, the time for a user to wait for starting the application program is reduced, and the user experience is improved.
Optionally, the step of upgrading the target application program by the upgrade package process through the upgrade component includes:
under the condition that the target application program is restarted, the upgrade package process upgrades the target application program by utilizing the upgrade component.
In the following, description will be made of this alternative implementation with reference to fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a flowchart of another method for upgrading an application program according to an embodiment of the present invention, where, as shown in fig. 2, when a target application program runs for the current time, a step of releasing an upgrade component of an upgrade package by an upgrade package process is completed. When the target application program is started next time (namely, when the target application program is restarted), the upgrade package process upgrades the target application program by using the upgrade component. The first step of upgrading is set to be executed when the target application program runs at the current time, so that the influence on the starting time of the target application program caused by upgrading is reduced; the step of replacing the old version with the new version of the upgrade package is set to be executed under the condition that the application program is restarted, the application program is not interfered by the user, the user is prevented from being interrupted to use the application program, and the user experience is good.
As shown in fig. 2, after the target application confirms that the upgrade is supported, the server notifies the first service process corresponding to the target application, and the first service process authorizes the upgrade package process, and the upgrade package process releases the upgrade component. The user exits the application program, finishes upgrading the application program in the restarting process of the application program, specifically, the server informs the first service process, the first service process authorizes the upgrade package process, and the new version of the application program replaces the old version. It should be noted that, the user exiting the application program and restarting the application program is a natural choice of the user, which is the user's own use requirement of the application program.
For any one upgrade process, the new version of the application refers to the version of the application after the upgrade, and the old version of the application refers to the version of the application before the upgrade.
On the other hand, when upgrading the target application program, acquiring a system authority through a first service process associated with the current application program version, acquiring an associated manager authority based on the system authority, and creating a second service process and an upgrade package process associated with the upgrade version of the application program by utilizing the manager authority; further, the upgrade package process may also utilize the administrator rights to modify the DACL of the second service process associated with the upgraded version of the application.
The process of upgrading the target application program by the upgrade package process may include the following steps: the first service process acquires the authority of an administrator; the upgrade package process creates a second service process corresponding to the upgrade package process based on the administrator authority and modifies DACL of the second service process, wherein the second service process is used for starting the upgrade package process when upgrading next time.
It should be appreciated that during an upgrade, the first service process may acquire administrator privileges multiple times and may perform different steps or operations using the acquired administrator privileges, respectively. That is, the first service process performs one step or one operation only with the administrator authority after each acquisition of the administrator authority. For example, in one embodiment, before the upgrade package process upgrades the target application program, the first service process obtains the administrator authority, and the first service process starts the upgrade package process of the target application program associated with the first service process by using the administrator authority. When the upgrade package process upgrades the target application program, a first service process acquires an administrator authority; and the upgrade package process establishes a second service process corresponding to the upgrade package process based on the administrator authority.
The first service process is a service process created when the associated target application program is installed or updated last time, and if the initial installation is performed and the manual installation is performed, the first service process is created by popup UAC popup authorization, and the manager permission is acquired. If the application program is in silent upgrading, the administrator authority is acquired through a first service process (the DACL of the first service process is modified by the upgrade package process at the moment) associated with the current application program version, the first service process starts the upgrade package process, the upgrade package process creates a second service process of the upgrade version, the DACL of the second service process of the upgrade version is modified, and when the target application program is in next upgrading, the second service process acquires the administrator authority and starts the upgrade package process, so that the silent upgrading of the application program is realized. The second service process acts like the first service process in the next upgrade of the target application program.
The current application version refers to the version of the application before the upgrade, and the upgraded version of the application refers to the version of the application after the upgrade. The service process associated with the current application version refers to the service process of the version of the application package before the upgrade, and the service process associated with the upgrade version of the application refers to the service process of the version after the upgrade of the application.
The first service process having administrator rights is understood to mean that system rights, also called system rights, are available through the first service process, and that associated administrator rights are available through the system rights. The first service process and the second service process in the embodiment of the invention have the administrator authority. In general, other related processes of the application program have ordinary rights, for example, an upgrade process and a main process of the application program are processes having ordinary rights.
According to the method for upgrading the application program, provided by the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that an upgrade instruction is received, a first service process acquires the authority of an administrator; the first service process starts an upgrade package process of a target application program associated with the first service process by utilizing the administrator authority; and the upgrade package process upgrades the target application program. The upgrade package process is started by using the administrator rights acquired by the service process, and the upgrade package process of the target application program has the administrator rights, so that the UAC popup window can be prevented from being popped up in the upgrade process, silent upgrade is realized, the upgrade steps of the application program are simplified, and the convenience of application program upgrade is improved.
