Fig. 1 shows a flow diagram of a related art installation application. As shown in fig. 1, an application distribution vendor usually pre-installs an application distribution client on a terminal device, and uploads an application (application) to an application distribution server by a developer. Therefore, the user can download the related application from the application distribution server through the application distribution client, and further trigger the installation of the application on the terminal equipment.

In addition, the first feature information described above may be information acquired by the first terminal device for the second application.

Optionally, when the second application is from an installation source with a known credibility, the first feature information of the second application may be used as the target feature information of the second application, so that the operation flow and the operation process are simplified, and the period and the cost for constructing the trusted application distribution system are further shortened. The target feature information of the second application at this time may be obtained by the application feature server acquiring the first feature information from the first terminal device.

Optionally, in another example, the first result is determined according to the target feature information of the second application and the feature information of the first application, and specifically, the feature reliability between the feature information of the first application and the target feature information may be calculated in a manner of, for example, using a preset feature model, and the feature reliability is used as the first result, that is, the first result is used to indicate the credibility of the second application. In practical applications, the first result may be determined by other means besides a means of calculating the feature reliability between the feature information of the first application and the target feature information, and the determination is not limited herein.

In this embodiment of the application, since the target feature information of the second application may characterize a trusted status of the second application, in a situation that the first application originates from an installation source with unknown credibility, the feature information of the first application and the target feature information of the second application may be compared or matched to determine a first result after obtaining the feature information of the first application, so that the first result may indicate to install the first application or prevent to install the first application. That is to say, in this embodiment, when a first application from an installation source with unknown credibility needs to be installed, whether the first application is authentic or not may be determined by using the target feature information of the installed second application and the feature information of the first application, so as to complete the installation and processing of the application that is authentic; in addition, in the embodiment of the application, the first application from the installation source with unknown credibility is judged by widely using the characteristic information and the application source information of the existing application without depending on the authentication of a developer and pre-configuring the application distribution client, so that the time and the cost for constructing a credible application distribution ecology can be reduced.

Fig. 3 above describes the method for processing the application, which is provided in the embodiment of the present application, mainly from the perspective of a single side, and the method may be executed by the user terminal or the application feature server. The method for processing an application provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below from the perspective of device interaction, and specifically, reference may be made to subsequent fig. 4 to fig. 6. Wherein, fig. 4 mainly describes the method of application processing from the perspective when the application feature server performs the above step 302; fig. 5 describes the method of application processing mainly from the perspective when the second terminal device performs step 302 described above; FIG. 6 describes the method of application processing primarily from the perspective that the second application originates from an installation source of known trustworthiness. This will be described separately below:

please refer to fig. 4, which is a flowchart illustrating a method for application processing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As can be seen from fig. 4, the method for applying the processing may include the following steps:

401. the first terminal device acquires first feature information of the second application.

In this example, the first terminal device obtains an application installation package of the second application from the application installation source, and installs the second application on the first terminal device. After the first terminal device installs the second application, feature extraction can be performed on the second application to obtain first feature information of the second application. Specifically, the first terminal device may obtain the first feature information of the second application through its own application feature obtaining module.

The application installation source of the second application at this time may be an installation source with a known credibility or an installation source with an unknown credibility, and is not limited herein.

The first characteristic information may be used to characterize an application property of the second application. For example, the first characteristic information may include one or more of an application identification of the second application, installation source information of the second application, and running behavior characteristic information of the second application. In practical applications, other characteristic information may also be available, and is not limited to the description herein.

The application identification of the second application described may include, but is not limited to: the application name, application IP address, packet size of the application, signature fingerprint of the application, hash value of the application file size, etc. may identify characteristics of the integrity and uniqueness of the second application. The installation source information of the second application may include, but is not limited to, a name of the installation source, an IP address of the installation source, a domain name of the installation source, and the like, and may further include additional characteristic information such as a popularity, an authority, and the like of a website where the installation source is located. The running behavior feature information of the second application may include, but is not limited to, a duration of the second application being resident in the background, an application permission, an actual usage permission, and the like, which are not limited to the description herein.

402. The first terminal device sends first feature information of the second application to the application feature server.

In this example, after the first terminal device obtains the first feature information of the second application, the first feature information is sent to the application feature server.

403. The application feature server obtains second feature information of a second application.

In this example, the application feature server obtains second feature information of the second application in addition to receiving the first feature information sent by the first terminal device, where the second feature information may characterize external feature attributes of the second application. For example: the second characteristic information may include one or more of public information of the second application, and manual maintenance information of the second application. In practical applications, the second feature information may also be other features that can be used to characterize external feature attributes of the second application, and is not specifically described here in a limiting manner.

The public information of the second application described may include, but is not limited to: scoring on the application installation source, the number of scored, application reviews, the number of reviewed, the number downloaded, the number shared, and the like, which are not limited to the description herein. The manual maintenance information for the second application described may include, but is not limited to: the domain name information of the application installation source corresponding to the second application, the trusted weight of the application installation source, the application authority information, and the like, which are not limited herein.

In the present application, the execution sequence of the above steps 401 to 402 and 403 is not limited. In practical applications, step 403 may be performed first, and then steps 401-402 may be performed, and so on.

In other cases, the application feature server performs feature extraction on the second application, and after second feature information of the second application is obtained, a corresponding feature weight may be given to the second feature information. For example: the second feature information such as the public information of the second application and the manual maintenance information of the second application may be given feature weights, respectively. The feature weights respectively assigned to the second feature information, such as the public information of the second application and the manual maintenance information of the second application, may be the same or different, and are not limited to be described here.

In other cases, after receiving the first feature information of the second application sent by the first terminal device, the application feature server may also assign a corresponding feature weight to the first feature information. For example: the first characteristic information such as the application identifier of the second application, the installation source information of the second application, and the running behavior characteristic information of the second application may be respectively given characteristic weights. The feature weights respectively assigned to the first feature information, such as the application identifier of the second application, the installation source information of the second application, and the running behavior feature information of the second application, may be the same or different, and are not limited to be described herein.

404. The application feature server determines target feature information based on the first feature information of the second application and second feature information of the second application, and the target feature information is used for representing the credibility of the second application.

In this example, after receiving the first feature information from the first terminal device and acquiring itself or acquiring the second feature information from another third-party platform, the application feature server determines the out-of-target feature information of the second application according to the first feature information and the second feature information. It should be noted that the target feature information of the second application may reflect the credibility of the second application, or the target feature information of the second application is the feature information that can be used to reflect that the second application is truly credible.

Specifically, the application feature server may determine target feature information based on the first feature information and the second feature information according to a preset rule; or, the application feature server may also use the first feature information and the second feature information as input of a preset feature model, so as to obtain the target feature information. The specific description is not limited herein.

405. The second terminal device obtains characteristic information of the first application, and the first application is originated from an installation source with unknown credibility.

In this example, the feature information of the first application may be used to characterize an application attribute of the first application, and/or used to characterize an external feature attribute of the first application, which is not limited herein. When the feature information of the first application is used to characterize the application attribute of the first application, the feature information of the first application may include one or more of an application identifier of the first application, an application package size of the first application, and installation source information of the first application. In practical applications, the first feature information of the first application may also be other information capable of characterizing the first application, such as: the application name, IP address, etc. of the first application are not limited to be described here.

The first application is described as originating from an installation source of unknown trustworthiness, indicating that the source of the installation package of the first application is of unknown trustworthiness, i.e. the installation package of the first application may or may not be a truthful installation package, which is not limited herein. The described installation sources of unknown trustworthiness may include, but are not limited to, third party application marketplaces, personal websites, and the like, and are not limited thereto.

The second application described above may be the same as the first application or may be different from the first application. Such as: if the first application is application a, the second application may be application a or application B, and the description is not limited herein.

406. The second terminal device sends the feature information of the first application to the application feature server.

In this example, after obtaining the feature information of the first application, the second terminal device may send the feature information of the first application to the application feature server.

The execution sequence of the steps 401 to 404 and the steps 405 to 406 is not particularly limited, and in practical applications, the steps 405 to 406 may be executed first, and then the steps 401 to 404 may be executed.

407. The application feature server determines a first result based on the target feature information and the feature information of the first application, the first result indicating a trustworthiness of the first application.

In this example, after the application feature server receives feature information of the first application sent by the second terminal device, the first result may be determined by combining the target feature information. Specifically, the application feature server may calculate a feature reliability between the feature information of the first application and the target feature information, and use this feature reliability as the first result, that is, use the first result to indicate a reliability condition of the first application.

In practical applications, the application feature server may determine the first result by other means besides the means for calculating the feature reliability between the feature information of the first application and the target feature information, and the description herein is not limited.

408. The application feature server sends the first result to the second terminal device.

In this example, the application feature server may send the first result to the second terminal device after determining the first result.

409. The second terminal device installs the first application according to the first result, or prohibits installation of the first application according to the first result.

In this example, since the first result reflects the trusted status of the first application, the second terminal device can know whether the source of the first application is actually trusted after receiving the first result sent by the application feature server. In this way, the second terminal device installs the first application in the case that the first result reflects that the first application is authentic; alternatively, the second terminal device may prevent the first application from being installed in case the first result reflects that the first application is not authentic.

For example: when the feature reliability is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, the first application is true and authentic, and the second terminal device can install the first application; if the feature reliability is smaller than the preset threshold, it indicates that the first application is not authentic, and at this time, the second terminal device may prevent the first application from being installed. The specific description is not limited herein.

In this embodiment of the application, in a case that the first application is originated from an installation source with unknown credibility, the application feature server may determine the target feature information of the second application by using the first feature information of the second application received from the first terminal device and the acquired second feature information of the second application, and further characterize the credibility of the second application from the target feature information of the second application. In this way, when the second terminal device needs to install the first application from the installation source with unknown credibility, the application feature server also receives feature information of the first application sent by the second terminal device, so as to determine a first result by combining target feature information of the second application, and further enable the second terminal device to execute the operation of whether to install the first application or not based on the first result.

That is to say, in this embodiment, when the second terminal device needs to install the first application from the installation source with unknown credibility, the feature information of the second application installed on the first terminal device may be acquired based on the application feature server of the cloud measurement and the first terminal device on the end side, and feature extraction and corresponding feature weight are given according to an artificial intelligence algorithm and the like, and then credible identification of the first application on the open internet is completed in a way of end cloud cooperation, so as to complete credible installation and processing of the first application. In the embodiment of the application, the first application from the installation source with unknown credibility is judged by widely using the characteristic information and the application source information of the existing application without depending on the authentication of a developer and pre-configuring the application distribution client, so that the time and the cost for constructing the credible application distribution ecology can be reduced, and the application ecology required by the terminal can be quickly constructed.

The method of application processing is described above mainly in terms of the application feature server determining the first result, and fig. 5 below will describe the method of application processing in terms of the second terminal device determining the first result. Specifically, fig. 5 shows a schematic flowchart of another method for processing an application provided in this embodiment. As can be seen from fig. 5, the method for applying the processing includes the following steps:

501. the first terminal device acquires first feature information of the second application.

502. The first terminal device sends first feature information of the second application to the application feature server.

503. The application feature server obtains second feature information of a second application.

504. The application feature server determines target feature information based on the first feature information of the second application and second feature information of the second application, the target feature information indicating a trustworthiness of the second application.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the steps 501 to 504 may be understood by specifically referring to the contents described in the foregoing steps 401 to 404 in fig. 4, which are not described herein again.

505. And the application characteristic server sends the target characteristic information to the second terminal equipment.

In this example, since the target feature information may indicate a trusted status of the second application, the application feature server may determine the target feature information of the second application according to the first feature information and the second feature information, and send the target feature information to the second terminal device. Thus, after receiving the target characteristic information, the second terminal device compares or matches the target characteristic information with the characteristic information of the first application, and judges whether the first application is true and credible according to the comparison result or the matching result.

506. The second terminal device obtains characteristic information of the first application, and the first application is originated from an installation source with unknown credibility.

In this example, step 506 may be understood by referring specifically to what is described above in step 405 of fig. 4, where the steps are defined and described herein.

The execution sequence of the steps 501 to 505 and the step 506 is not particularly limited, and in practical applications, the step 506 may be executed first, and then the steps 501 to 505 may be executed.

507. The second terminal device determines a first result based on the target feature information and the feature information of the first application, the first result indicating a trustworthiness of the first application.

In this example, after the second terminal device receives the target feature information sent by the application feature server, the first result may be determined by combining the feature information of the first application. Specifically, the second terminal device may calculate a feature reliability between the first feature information and the target feature information, and use the feature reliability as the first result, that is, use the first result to indicate a reliability condition of the first application. In practical applications, the second terminal device may determine the first result by using a manner other than the manner of calculating the feature reliability between the first feature information and the target feature information, which is not limited herein.

508. The second terminal device installs the first application according to the first result, or prohibits installation of the first application according to the first result.

It should be noted that, step 508 in this embodiment may be understood by specifically referring to the content described in step 409 in fig. 4, which is not described herein again.

In this embodiment of the application, in a case that the first application is originated from an installation source with unknown credibility, the application feature server may determine the target feature information of the second application by using the first feature information of the second application received from the first terminal device and the acquired second feature information of the second application, and further characterize the credibility of the second application from the target feature information of the second application. Therefore, when the second terminal device needs to install the first application from the installation source with unknown credibility, the application feature server sends the target feature information to the second terminal device, and the second terminal device judges whether the first application is real and credible by combining the feature information of the first application.

That is to say, in this embodiment, when the second terminal device needs to install the first application from the installation source with unknown credibility, the feature information of the second application installed on the first terminal device can be acquired based on the application feature server of the cloud measurement and the first terminal device on the end side, and feature extraction and feature weighting are performed according to an artificial intelligence algorithm and the like, and then, whether the first application on the open internet is authentic and credible can be identified in a way of end cloud cooperation, so that the credible installation and processing of the first application are completed. The first application from an installation source of unknown credibility is judged by widely applying the characteristic information and the application source information of the existing application without relying on the authentication of a developer and pre-configuring an application distribution client, so that the time and the cost for constructing a credible application distribution ecology can be reduced. Moreover, the end side of the second terminal device can also judge whether the first application is real and credible, and application scenes in the application installation process are greatly enriched.

In other embodiments, if the second application installed by the first terminal device is from an installation source with a known credibility, the first characteristic information of the second application may be used as the target characteristic information to determine the first result. Specifically, fig. 6 may be referred to as a schematic flow chart of another method for processing an application provided in the embodiment of the present application. As can be seen from fig. 6, the method for applying the processing includes the following steps:

601. the first terminal device obtains first characteristic information of a second application, wherein the second application is sourced from an installation source with known credibility.

In this example, the second application originates from an installation source of known trustworthiness, i.e. the source of the second application installed by the first terminal device is said to be authentic, trusted and secure. At this time, the first terminal device may acquire the application installation package of the second application from the authentic installation source and install the second application on the first terminal device. In this way, the first terminal device may perform feature extraction on the second application to acquire the first feature information of the second application.

The first characteristic information may be used to characterize an application property of the second application. For example, the first characteristic information may include one or more of an application identification of the second application, installation source information of the second application, and/or running behavior characteristic information of the second application. In practical applications, other characteristic information may also be available, and is not limited to the description herein.

The application identification of the described second application may include, but is not limited to: the application name, application IP address, package size of the application, signature fingerprint of the application, hash value of the application file size, etc. may identify characteristics of the integrity and uniqueness of the second application. The installation source information of the second application may include, but is not limited to, a name of the installation source, an IP address of the installation source, a domain name of the installation source, and the like, and may further include additional feature information such as a popularity, an authority, and the like of a website where the installation source is located. The running behavior feature information of the second application may include, but is not limited to, a duration of the second application being resident in the background, an application permission, an actual usage permission, and the like, which are not specifically limited herein.

602. The first terminal device sends first feature information of the second application to the application feature server.

In this example, step 602 may be specifically understood with reference to what is described in step 402 in fig. 4, and is not limited herein.

603. The application feature server obtains target feature information based on the first feature information of the second application, and the target feature information indicates a trusted condition of the second application.

In this example, since the second application installed by the first terminal device is from an installation source with a known trustworthiness, after receiving the first feature information of the second application sent by the first terminal device, the application feature server may directly use all or part of the content in the first feature information of the second application as the target feature information, which is convenient to simplify the operation flow and the operation complexity, and can further shorten the period and cost for identifying whether the first application is authentic and trustworthy.

604. The second terminal device obtains characteristic information of the first application, and the first application is originated from an installation source with unknown credibility.

605. The second terminal device sends the feature information of the first application to the application feature server.

In this example, steps 604-605 may be understood with particular reference to what is described above with respect to steps 405-406 of FIG. 4, where the steps are defined for illustration.

The execution sequence of the steps 601-603 and the steps 604-605 is not particularly limited, and in practical applications, the steps 604-605 may be executed first, and then the steps 601-603 may be executed.

606. The application feature server determines a first result based on the target feature information and the first feature information, the first result indicating a trustworthiness of the first application.

607. The application feature server sends the first result to the second terminal device.

608. The second terminal device installs the first application according to the first result, or prohibits installation of the first application according to the first result.

Steps 606 to 608 in this embodiment may be understood by specifically referring to the contents described in steps 407 to 409 in fig. 4, which are not described herein again.

In other examples, in a scenario where the second application installed by the first terminal device is from an installation source with a known credibility, in addition to determining the first result according to the target feature information and the feature information of the first application by the application feature server in fig. 6, in an actual application, the application feature server may further send the target feature information to the second terminal device, and the second terminal device determines the first result according to the target feature information and the feature information of the first application, and a specific flow may be understood with reference to the process described in fig. 5, which is not described herein again.

In the embodiment of the application, in the case that the first application originates from an installation source with unknown credibility and the second application installed by the first terminal device originates from an installation source with known credibility, the first feature information of the second application acquired by the first terminal device may be directly used as the target feature information of the second application. Therefore, when the second terminal device needs to install the first application from the installation source with unknown credibility, whether the first application is real and credible can be judged based on the characteristic information of the application in a terminal cloud cooperation mode, and thus the credible installation and processing of the first application are completed; in addition, in the embodiment of the application, the first application from the installation source with unknown credibility is judged by widely using the characteristic information and the application source information of the existing application without depending on the authentication of a developer and pre-configuring the application distribution client, so that the time and the cost for constructing a credible application distribution ecology can be reduced. In addition, in this embodiment, the first feature information obtained when the second application with a trusted source is installed is directly used as the target feature information, so that the operation flow and the operation complexity are simplified, and the period and the cost for identifying whether the first application is authentic or not can be further shortened.

The described application installation source of the second application may be an installation source with a known credibility or an installation source with an unknown credibility, and therefore the application feature server is required to determine the target feature information of the second application from the first feature information and the second feature information of the second application, and the target feature information represents the credibility of the second application

Optionally, in some examples, when the second application is sourced from a mounting source of known trustworthiness, the feature information of the second application is obtained including first feature information of the second application, wherein the first feature information is used to characterize application attributes of the second application.

The manual maintenance information for the second application described may include, but is not limited to: the domain name information of the application installation source corresponding to the second application, the trusted weight of the application installation source, the application authority information, and the like, which are not limited herein.

In this embodiment of the application, since the target feature information of the second application may represent a trusted status of the second application, in a case that the first application originates from an installation source with unknown credibility, after the feature information of the first application is acquired by the acquisition unit 701, the processing unit 702 determines a first result according to the feature information of the first application and the target feature information of the second application, so that the first result can indicate that the first application is installed or the first application is prevented from being installed. That is to say, in this embodiment, when a first application from an installation source with unknown credibility needs to be installed, it may be determined whether the first application is authentic through the target feature information of the installed second application and the feature information of the first application, so as to complete the credible installation and processing of the application; in addition, in the embodiment of the application, the first application from an installation source with unknown credibility is judged by widely using the characteristic information and the application source information of the existing application without depending on the authentication of a developer and pre-configuring an application distribution client, so that the time and the cost for constructing a credible application distribution ecology can be reduced.
