Detailed Description

In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as the particular system architecture, techniques, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known methods of installing applications, methods of driving terminal devices by applications, and electronic devices are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.

The terminology used in the following examples is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in the specification of the present application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," "the," and "the" are intended to include, for example, "one or more" such forms of expression, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.

With the continuous development of terminal devices, different terminal devices can be applied in various scenes. Correspondingly, each application scene can also comprise a plurality of terminal devices. And the terminal devices respectively have different functions so as to finish different operations and realize different services.

Moreover, the plurality of terminal devices may be connected to each other so that at least one second terminal device (hereinafter, simply referred to as a slave device) connected to the first terminal device among the plurality of terminal devices is controlled by the first terminal device (hereinafter, simply referred to as a master device) among the plurality of terminal devices.

The master device is provided with an application program (hereinafter referred to as an application program for short) for managing the slave devices, and the master device can manage and arrange the slave devices through the application program in combination with functions of the slave devices, so that the slave devices are controlled to execute different operations according to a set sequence, and the functions matched with the application scenes are realized.

Further, the master device may be connected to one slave device or may be connected to a plurality of slave devices. When a master device is connected to a different number of slave devices, the applications run by the master device may manage the slave devices in different ways. For example, when the master device is connected to one slave device, if the master device is a mobile phone and the slave device is an air conditioner, the mobile phone can control the air conditioner through an application program, such as starting/stopping, adjusting temperature, adjusting mode, and the like.

When the master device is connected with the plurality of slave devices, the master device can manage the plurality of slave devices according to different application scenes through the application program, so that the plurality of slave devices can be mutually matched to realize the functions corresponding to the same scene. For example, in a smart home scenario, a mobile phone may set an "away from home" function for an air conditioner, a lighting lamp, and a sweeping robot through an application program. When a user goes out, the mobile phone can start the function of leaving home through the application program, so that the air conditioner is controlled to stop running, the lighting lamp is turned off, the floor sweeping robot is started to start working, and the like, and the function of leaving home of each device in an intelligent home scene is realized.

Referring to fig. 1A and 1B, fig. 1A illustrates a hardware framework diagram of a master device managing a plurality of slave devices, and fig. 1B illustrates a logic diagram of the master device. The master device in fig. 1A is a mobile phone, and the slave device includes a printer and a sound box. As shown in fig. 1B, the mobile phone may set a "play after printing" function in the application program in the service layer according to the detected operation, that is, the printer sends out a prompt sound after printing, so as to inform the user that printing is completed. This function corresponds to the "play audio" function and the "print file" function in the device function layer.

Correspondingly, the mobile phone can control the operation of the sound box in the driving layer through a sound box driver loaded in an Operating System (OS). Similarly, the mobile phone can also control the printer to run through the printer driver loaded by the OS in the driving layer. In addition, the mobile phone can be connected with the sound box of the equipment layer through the Bluetooth protocol at the protocol layer. Similarly, the handset may also connect to the printer of the device layer at the protocol layer via a wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, wiFi) protocol. And if the mobile phone detects that the function of playing the prompt tone after the printing is finished is started, the mobile phone can drive the sound box to play the prompt tone after the printer is driven to print.

It is known that the master device is realized by a single application installed in the master device in the process of realizing the set function by the slave device. And a plurality of drivers corresponding to the slave devices can be included in the application program, so as to drive the operation of each slave device, thereby occupying a great deal of OS capability of the master device. As the number of slave devices increases, the resources occupied by the master device are also increasing, which is disadvantageous for the extension of the slave devices.

In addition, with the update of the slave device, the master device also needs to update the installed application program, thereby updating the driver corresponding to the slave device. In addition, the application program for controlling the slave device is concentrated on the master device, and the dependency on the master device is high.

Therefore, the application provides an application program deployment method, which can respectively generate sub-application programs matched with the functions of each slave device according to different functions of different slave devices by redefining the packaging and release specifications of the application program, so that each sub-application program can be deployed to each slave device through the master device without driving each slave device through the master device, and further, the occupation of resources of the master device can be reduced.

The following describes a deployment system related to a deployment method of an application program provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2A is a system schematic diagram of a deployment system related to a deployment method of an application according to an embodiment of the present application, where the deployment system may include: a first terminal device 210, at least one second terminal device 220, an application server 230.

The first terminal device 210 may be connected to not only the respective second terminal devices 220 but also the application server 230. Moreover, the first terminal device 210 is a master device and the second terminal device 220 is a slave device.

In addition, the application server 230 is used to provide an application program, and the application server 230 may also feed back to the master device an application program that matches the functions of the respective slave devices.

Specifically, the master device may connect with slave devices located in the same scene and acquire function information of the respective slave devices, so that the function set of the master device may be updated. Thereafter, the host device may send the updated set of functions to the application server 230.

The function information is used to represent functions of the slave devices, and the function set may include not only the function information of the master device but also the function information of each slave device. The master device may update the function set according to the increased or decreased slave devices when each slave device connected to the master device changes.

For example, the master device is a mobile phone, and the slave device includes: the printer and the sound box can also comprise the printing function of the printer and the audio playing function of the sound box besides the functions of the mobile phone.

Accordingly, the application server 230 may receive the updated function set sent by the host device, and search at least one application program matching the updated function set in the application server 230 according to the updated function set. The application server 230 may then feed back to the host device the application identification corresponding to the matched application.

Wherein the application identification is used to indicate an application program that matches the set of functions.

The master device may then obtain, from the application server 230, the application program corresponding to the application identifier according to the fed-back application identifier. And then, the master device can determine the slave devices corresponding to the sub-application programs in the application programs respectively according to the dependency information of the sub-application programs in the application programs and combining the function information of the slave devices, so that the master device can distribute different sub-application programs to the slave devices, and the slave devices can install the received sub-application programs to complete the deployment of the sub-application programs in the slave devices.

The application server 230 may include a plurality of applications, and each application may include a plurality of sub-applications, so that the combination of the plurality of sub-applications may be matched with different combinations between the master device and the respective slave devices in different scenarios.

Moreover, both the application and the sub-application may include dependency information, which is added by a developer of the application at the time of development, and which is used to represent a terminal device or a function on which the application or the sub-application depends.

For example, for the function of playing the alert sound after printing, the master device may be a mobile phone, and the slave device may be a speaker and a printer. Accordingly, the application program may include: the first sub-application program and the second sub-application program, the dependency information of the first sub-application program can indicate that the first sub-program depends on the hardware device with the audio playing function, the dependency information of the second sub-application program can indicate that the second sub-program depends on the hardware device with the printing function, namely, the first sub-program depends on the sound box, and the second sub-application program depends on the printer. Correspondingly, the mobile phone can distribute the first sub-application program to the sound box and distribute the second sub-application program to the printer, so that the sound box installs the first sub-application program and the printer installs the second sub-application program, and the deployment of each sub-application program is completed.

It should be noted that, in practical application, referring to fig. 2B, the application server 230 may include: an application marketplace server 2301 and an application management server 2302, the application marketplace server 2301 and the application management server 2302 are connected, and the application marketplace server 2301 and the application management server 2302 are both connected to the first terminal device 210.

The application marketplace server 2301 is configured to provide an application program to a host device, and the application management server 2302 is configured to feed back, to the host device, an application identifier of the application program that matches the function set according to the function set fed back by the host device.

Moreover, the application marketplace server 2301 and the application management server 2302 may be integrated in the same hardware device, or may be distributed in different hardware devices, and the distribution manner of the application marketplace server 2301 and the application management server 2302 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

Referring to fig. 2C, fig. 2C is a logic schematic diagram of a deployment system according to an embodiment of the present application, where the deployment system may include: a hybrid function application layer, a device function application layer, a protocol layer, and a device layer.

Wherein, the mixed function application layer may include an application program, the device function application layer may include a sub-application program, and the protocol layer may include: the device layer may include various slave devices, such as protocols for connecting the master device and the slave devices, bluetooth protocols and WiFi protocols, etc.

Unlike the above-mentioned setting of the "play after print alert" function, the host device may set the "play after print alert" function for the application program in the mixed function application layer according to the triggered operation. Correspondingly, the sub-application programs positioned on different slave devices can drive the slave devices through the included driving program, so that the slave devices can finish the operation of playing audio or printing according to the driving program.

In summary, according to the deployment method of the application program provided by the embodiment of the application, the master device determines the sub-application program matched with each slave device according to the dependency information of each sub-application program in the application program and combines the function information of each slave device, and distributes the matched sub-application program to each slave device, so that each slave device is driven by each sub-application program, the resources occupied by the application program installed by the master device can be reduced, and the number of slave devices connected with the master device can be increased.

In addition, by deploying the sub-application program on the slave device, the sub-application program can utilize the resources of the slave device to complete driving of the slave device, so that the resource utilization rate of each slave device can be improved, and the resource idling of the slave device is reduced.

The following describes an application deployment method provided in the embodiment of the present application by taking a mobile phone as a master device and other terminal devices as slave devices as examples.

In the development process of the application program, a sub-application program matching the functions of each terminal device may be generated according to different functions of each terminal device. And combining the sub-application programs corresponding to the terminal equipment according to a plurality of functions required by different scenes to obtain the application programs matched with the different scenes.

Specifically, for each terminal device, an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) corresponding to the function can be acquired according to the function of the terminal device, so that a sub-application matched with the terminal device can be developed according to the API.

Then, according to the functions required by different scenes, the terminal equipment corresponding to each required function can be determined, and the sub-application programs corresponding to each terminal equipment are combined by combining the APIs of the corresponding terminal equipment, so that the application program matched with the scene can be generated.

Furthermore, dependency information may be added to the combined application program, indicating the function of the terminal device on which the application program depends, so that the application server may determine an application program matching the current scene according to the dependency information. In addition, the master device may also distribute each sub-application to the corresponding slave device according to the dependency information.

Further, after the application program is obtained by combining the sub-application programs, the application program can be uploaded to the application server. Accordingly, after receiving the uploaded application, the application server may construct an index according to the dependency information of the application, so that the application server may determine, according to the index, an application that matches different scenarios.

For example, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an index between an application program and dependency information provided in an embodiment of the present application, and after receiving the application program, an application server may obtain dependency information corresponding to the application program and each included sub-application program respectively. Then, the application server may first establish an index between the application program and the corresponding dependency information, and then, based on the application program in the index, establish an index between each sub-application program and the corresponding dependency information, so as to obtain an index schematic diagram as shown in fig. 4.

Fig. 5 is a schematic flowchart of an application deployment method according to an embodiment of the present application, which may be applied to the deployment system shown in fig. 2A and described above, by way of example and not limitation, and see fig. 5, where the method includes:

step 501, the first terminal device is connected to at least one second terminal device.

The first terminal equipment is a master equipment, and the second terminal equipment is a slave equipment. For example, the first terminal device may be a mobile phone or a tablet computer, and the second terminal device may include: printers, speakers, and other devices with connection functions, the second terminal device is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

If the master device detects a triggered connection operation under the condition that the master device and the slave device are located in the same network (such as a local area network), the master device may first search for other terminal devices in the local area network according to the connection operation. If the master device finds other terminal devices in the local area network, the master device can establish a connection relationship with the found other terminal devices according to the triggered connection operation, namely, the master device establishes a connection relationship with the found slave device.

Wherein, the master device and the slave device can adopt different modes to establish connection. For example, a connection relationship may be established by using a WiFi connection, a bluetooth connection, or an infrared connection, and the connection manner between the master device and the slave device is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step 502, the first terminal device obtains the function information of each second terminal device, and updates the function set of the first terminal device.

Wherein the function information is used to indicate the function of the second terminal device. The function set of the first terminal device may include: the function information of the first terminal device and the function information of the plurality of second terminal devices, that is, the function set is used to indicate functions respectively possessed by the master device and the respective slave devices. For example, the master device is a mobile phone, and the slave device includes: the printer and the sound box can also comprise the printing function of the printer and the audio playing function of the sound box besides the functions of the mobile phone.

After the master device establishes a connection relationship with each slave device, for each slave device, the master device may perform device function negotiation with the slave device, that is, the master device obtains the function information of the slave device, so that in a subsequent step, the master device may obtain an application program matched with the function of the slave device according to the function possessed by the slave device.

Specifically, the master device may transmit request information for requesting function information of the slave device to the slave device. The slave device may receive the request information, and according to the request information, combine the hardware device of the slave device with the function corresponding to the hardware device to generate the function information of the slave device, and then feed back the function information to the master device. Correspondingly, the master device can receive the function information fed back by each slave device, complete the collection of the function information of each slave device, and update the function set of the master device based on each function information.

Step 503, the first terminal device sends the function set of the first terminal device to the application server.

Corresponding to step 502, after the master device updates the function set, the master device may determine, according to the updated function set, an application program matching the master device and each slave device in combination with an index between the application program and the dependency information, which are pre-built in the application server. Thus, the host device may first send the updated set of functions to the application server.

In addition, the main device may also carry the device identifier of the main device in the function set during the process of sending the function set to the application server, so that in the subsequent step, the application server may feed back the application identifier of the application program obtained by searching to the main device according to the device identifier. The device identifier is used to indicate the master device, for example, the device identifier may be an internet protocol (internet protocol, IP) address, a media access control (medium access control, MAC) address, or other information capable of uniquely indicating the master device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In practical application, the function information recorded in the function set may be functions that can be provided by the master device and the slave device, may be device models corresponding to the master device and the slave device, and may also be other information corresponding to the master device and the slave device. Of course, the function information of the master device and the slave device may be recorded in other manners, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner of recording the function information.

For example, the function information may be: the first slave device has a printing function, and the second slave device has an audio playing function; the function information may also be: the first slave device has a device model number X1, and the second slave device has a device model number Y2.

In addition, the embodiment of the present application is only described by taking the case that the master device sends the function set to the application server as an example, but in practical application, the master device may only send the function information acquired in step 502 to the application server, and the mode that the master device sends the function information or the function set to the application server is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step 504, the application server searches for a target application program matched with the function set, and feeds back an application identifier of the target application program to the first terminal device.

The dependency information of the target application program is matched with each function information in the function set, and the master device can drive each connected slave device through the target application program. The application identifier is used to indicate the target application program, for example, the application identifier may be the name of the target application program or other information capable of uniquely determining the target application program, and the embodiment of the application is not limited to the application identifier.

The application server may receive the function set sent by the main device, and determine at least one target application program matched with the function set according to each function information included in the function set and in combination with a pre-established index between each application program and the dependency information.

In an alternative embodiment, the application server may receive the function set sent by the master device, and determine function information corresponding to the master device and each slave device in the function set. Then, the application server may traverse each dependency information in the pre-established index to determine the dependency information matched with the function set, so that an application program corresponding to the dependency information may be used as a target application program, and further, at least one target application program may be determined in the above manner. And then, the application server can feed back the application identifiers corresponding to the target application programs to the main equipment according to the equipment identifiers carried by the function set.

Specifically, after receiving the function set sent by the master device, the application server may compare, according to an index relationship (such as an index relationship shown in fig. 4) between each application program and dependency information (such as dependency information shown in fig. 3A, 3B, and 3C) that are previously established, each function information in the function set with dependency information corresponding to each application program, and determine whether the function information matches the dependency information. The application server can determine the matching degree between the function set and each application program according to the comparison results, so that at least one target application program can be determined from the application programs according to the matching degree obtained by comparison.

In addition, in the process of traversing the dependency information, there may be a match between the dependency information of the application program and each function information in the function set, or a match between the dependency information of the application program and part of the function information in the function set, and in the process of determining the target application program, whether the application program is to be used as the target application program may be determined according to the matching ratio of the dependency information and the function information. If the ratio is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the application corresponding to the dependency information may be regarded as the target application.

For example, the application server may pre-establish indexes between 3 groups of application programs and dependency information, where the ratio of dependency information in the first group of indexes to each function information in the received function set is 100%, the ratio of dependency information in the second group of indexes to each function information in the received function set is 86%, the ratio of dependency information in the third group of indexes to each function information in the received function set is 70%, and the preset threshold is 85%, and the application server may set the application programs corresponding to the first group of indexes and the second group of indexes as target application programs.

In addition, if the device models corresponding to the master device and the slave device are recorded in the function information, the application server may determine whether the application program matches each device model in the function information according to the basic information corresponding to each application program and the applicable device type information (such as pack. Info information shown in fig. 3A, 3B and 3C) in the process of determining the target application program, and whether the application program can run in the terminal device indicated by each device model in the function information, so that the application server may determine to indicate one target application program.

Note that, in step 503, the application server may determine the target application program only according to the received function information, which corresponds to the master device transmitting only the acquired function information. Specifically, the application server may determine, from the function information, a plurality of dependency information that matches the function information, so that an application corresponding to each of the dependency information may be regarded as a target application.

In addition, in practical applications, the application server may include: the application market server is used for providing each application program, and the application management server is used for determining the target application program.

After the master device is connected with the slave device and obtains the function information of the slave device, the function information of the master device and the function information of the slave device can be reported to the application management server and the function information of the slave device can be carried with the device identifier of the master device. Correspondingly, the application management server can establish an index relation between the master device and the function set according to the received device identification and each piece of function information, and establish an index relation between each slave device and the corresponding function information based on the index relation between the master device and the function set.

For example, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an index relationship between a terminal device and function information according to an embodiment of the present application, where a master device is connected to a slave device 1 and a slave device 2, respectively, and indexes between the master device and a function set, and indexes between the slave device 1 and the slave device 2 and different function information, respectively, are established in an application management server. After the master device is connected with the slave device 3, the master device may report the function information 3 of the slave device 3 to the application management server, and then the application management server may find out an index corresponding to the master device according to the function information 3 reported by the master device and combining the device identifier of the master device, update the found index, and add the corresponding relationship between the slave device 3 and the function information 3 to the index.

The following describes a process in which the application marketplace server and the application management server determine a target application program, taking the application marketplace server and the application management server as examples.

Specifically, the application management server may receive the function information sent by the master device, search an index corresponding to the master device according to the device identifier of the master device carried in the function information, update the function set in the searched index according to the received function information, and add the correspondence between the newly added slave device and the function information in the index to obtain an updated function set and an updated index.

Of course, if the application management server receives the updated function set of the master device, the application management server may also update the index corresponding to the master device stored in the application management server according to the device identifier of the master device in combination with the updated function set.

And then, the application management server can search the matched target application programs according to the newly-added function information and/or the updated function set and combining with each application program in the application market server. Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic flow chart of determining a target application program according to an embodiment of the present application.

1. The application management server updates an index corresponding to the master device.

2. The application management server forwards the function information of the slave device to the application marketplace server.

3. And the application market server searches the target application program matched with the function information according to the function information, and feeds back an application identifier corresponding to the target application program to the application management server.

Wherein the application identification is used to indicate the target application program. For example, the application identifier may be the name of the target application program, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the application identifier.

4. The application management server sends the updated function set to the application marketplace server.

5. And the application market server searches the target application program matched with the updated function set again according to the updated function set, and feeds back an application identifier corresponding to the target application program to the application management server.

Specifically, the application management server may update the function set corresponding to the master device according to the sent function information or the updated function set, to obtain the updated function set, thereby completing updating the index corresponding to the master device. Then, the application management server may forward the received function information to the application market server, and the application market server determines at least one target application program matched with the function information through the received function information, obtains an application identifier corresponding to each target application program, and feeds back the application identifier of each target application program to the application management server.

In order to obtain more application programs which are more accurately matched with the updated function set, the application management server can also send the updated function set to the application market server, the application market server determines at least one target application program matched with the updated function set through the updated function set, obtains application identifiers corresponding to each target application program, and feeds back the application identifiers of the target application programs to the application management server.

The above description will be given taking, as an example, the application management server sending the function information to the application marketplace server first, and then sending the updated function set to the application marketplace server. In practical application, the application management server may send the updated function set to the application market server first, then send the function information to the application market server, and also send the function information and the updated function set to the application market server at the same time.

It should be noted that, in practical application, the slave device in step 501 may already have a connection with a part of the slave devices before connecting with the master device, and the function of the slave device connected with the master device in step 501 may be the same as or similar to a part of the function set of the master device.

Therefore, in the process of updating the function set, if the application management server determines that the newly added function is the same as or similar to the original function, the application management server can consider that the slave devices with the same or similar functions can be combined, so that better experience effect is provided for the user through the combined slave devices.

For example, if the newly added function is a function of playing audio data and the function set of the master device already includes a function of playing audio data, the application management server may consider that each slave device having the audio playing function may constitute a combined device having a stereo sound effect.

Or if the newly added function is a function of playing video data and the function set of the master device already includes the function of playing video data, the application management server can consider that each slave device with the video playing function can splice the screens of playing video data, so as to obtain the combined device with larger screen.

Alternatively, if the newly added function is a lighting function and the lighting function is already included in the function set of the master device, the application management server may consider that each slave device having the lighting function may be combined, and a combined device capable of presenting a plurality of lighting effects may be obtained.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the update of the function set after the connection between the slave device and the master device is set up is described as an example, but in practical application, the slave device may also disconnect from the master device, so that part of functions in the function set are missing, and the master device may also update the function set of the master device in a similar manner as described above.

Step 505, the first terminal device obtains, from the application server, a target application program corresponding to at least one application identifier according to the plurality of application identifiers.

The master device may receive the multiple application identifiers fed back by the application server, and download the target application program corresponding to the at least one application identifier according to the triggered acquisition operation, so as to complete the installation of the target application program, so that in a subsequent step, the master device may distribute the sub-application programs in the target application program to each slave device.

Specifically, after receiving the plurality of application identifiers, the master device may display the target application program corresponding to each application identifier. If the acquisition operation triggered by a certain target application program is detected, the master device may send a download request to the application server, where the download request may include an application identifier corresponding to the triggered target application program.

Correspondingly, the application server can search a target application program corresponding to the application identifier according to the received downloading request and the carried application identifier. The application server may then feed back the data packets of the target application to the host device. Finally, the master device may run the installer in the data packet according to the received data packet, and construct the data structure shown in fig. 3A and fig. 3C, thereby completing the installation of the target application.

For example, after receiving the application identifier fed back by the application server, the master device may first display a display interface shown in fig. 8 to the user, where the display interface includes an icon, a name, and an installation option corresponding to each application identifier. If the acquisition operation triggered by the installation option corresponding to the 'sports health' is detected, the display state of the installation option corresponding to the 'sports health' in the display interface can be switched from a background-free state to a dark background state so as to indicate that the 'sports health' is started to be downloaded. Accordingly, the host device may send a download request to the application server, where the download request is used to request the application server for the target application corresponding to the installation option. The host device may then receive the target application fed back by the application server and install the target application.

Step 506, the first terminal device distributes the sub-application program to each second terminal device according to the dependency information.

After the master device installs the target application program, the sub-application program corresponding to each slave device can be determined according to the dependency information of the target application program and the function information of each slave device, so that the corresponding sub-application program is distributed to each slave device.

Specifically, the master device may acquire the dependency information of each sub-application in the target application, and then may compare the function information of each sub-application acquired in advance with the dependency information of each sub-application to determine the sub-device corresponding to each sub-application. And then, the master device can distribute the corresponding sub-application program to each slave device according to the sub-application program corresponding to the slave device. Correspondingly, each slave device can also receive the corresponding sub-application program, run the corresponding installation program of the sub-application program, and construct the data structure shown in fig. 3B, so as to complete the installation of the sub-application program, so that in the subsequent step, the master device can complete the driving of each slave device through each sub-application program, and each slave device can jointly complete the work for multiple scenes.

For example, if the index of the target application is as shown in fig. 4, the index of the master device and each slave device is as shown in fig. 6, the dependency information 1 shown in fig. 4 is a dependency print device, and the dependency information 2 shown in fig. 6 is a dependency audio playback device, and the function information 1 shown in fig. 6 is a print function, and the function information 2 is an audio playback function, the master device, after comparing each dependency information and each function information, can determine that the dependency information 1 matches the function information 1, and that the dependency information 2 matches the function information 2, and can thus distribute the sub-application 1 to the slave device 1 and the sub-application 2 to the slave device 2.

Step 507, the first terminal device drives the second terminal device through the sub-application program.

After the slave device installs the corresponding sub-application program, the master device may call the sub-application program installed in each slave device based on the target application program in combination with the call mode and interface information (such as interface information shown in fig. 3B) of each sub-application program, so that each slave device is driven by each sub-application program, so that each slave device may perform different operations according to the set order, thereby completing the cooperative work of each slave device.

Specifically, after each sub-application program is deployed on each slave device, the master device may determine a function to be started according to the triggered operation. If the first function started only needs to be completed by a certain slave device, the master device can send an instruction to the slave device through the target application program. After receiving the instruction, the slave device can be driven to complete the operation by a sub-application program installed in the slave device, so that the first function is realized.

If the opened second function needs to be completed by a plurality of slave devices together, the master device can firstly send a first instruction to the first slave device through the target application program according to the arrangement sequence corresponding to the second function, and the first slave device can drive the first slave device to instruct the first instruction through the installed first sub-application program so as to complete corresponding operation. And then, the first slave device can feed back the information of the completion of execution to the target application program of the master device through the first sub-application program.

Correspondingly, the master device may receive information fed back by the first slave device, and the target application program may send a second instruction to the second slave device according to the received information, so as to drive the second slave device to execute a corresponding operation through a second sub-application program installed in the second slave device, and feed back the executed information to the master device.

Thereafter, the master device and the respective slave devices may cycle through the above-described processes until the plurality of slave devices collectively implement the second function.

For example, the target application program is provided with a function of playing a prompt tone after printing corresponding to fig. 2A and 2B, and the mobile phone (main device) detects that the function of playing the prompt tone after printing is triggered and started, so that the target application program installed in the mobile phone can send a printing instruction to the printer through the mobile phone according to a preset sequence, the printer can receive the printing instruction, and the printer is driven to execute printing action through a second sub-application program installed in the printer. And after the printer finishes printing, the second sub-application program can feed back the information of finishing printing to the mobile phone through the printer.

Correspondingly, the mobile phone can receive information fed back by the printer, and the target application program can send a playing instruction to the sound box through the mobile phone according to the information. The sound box can receive the playing instruction and drive the sound box to execute playing action through a first sub-application program installed on the sound box. And then, the sound box can feed back the information after the playing is finished to the mobile phone, the mobile phone can receive the information, and the target application program determines that the function of playing the prompt tone after the printing is finished according to the information.

In summary, according to the deployment method of the application program provided by the embodiment of the application, the function information of each slave device is obtained, the target application program matched with the master device and each slave device is determined, and the sub-application program corresponding to each slave device in the target application program is distributed to each slave device, so that the master device can complete driving of each slave device through each sub-application program, each slave device can work cooperatively according to a preset process, resources occupied by the target application program in the master device can be reduced, the resource utilization rate of each slave device can be improved, and the flexibility of expansion connection between the master device and a large number of slave devices can be improved.

In the above embodiment, the android system is taken as an example, but in practical application, the terminal device may also be equipped with other operating systems (such as hong mo system), and the deployment method of the application program will be described again by taking the other operating systems as examples.

Fig. 9 is a schematic flowchart of another method for deploying an application, provided by an embodiment of the present application, which may be applied to the deployment system shown in fig. 2A and described above, referring to fig. 9, by way of example and not limitation, and the method includes:

step 901, the first terminal device is connected to at least one second terminal device.

The first terminal equipment is a master equipment, and the second terminal equipment is a slave equipment.

When the master device and the slave devices are located in the same network, the master device can establish a connection relationship with each slave device through a communication module of the current network. Specifically, if the master device detects a triggered connection operation, the master device may start a device connection function and search for each slave device in the current network. The master device may then present icons corresponding to the respective slave devices to the user in the connection interface. If the master device detects the connection operation triggered by the icon of a certain slave device, the master device can establish a connection relationship with the slave device through the communication module of the current network.

For example, referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is an interface schematic diagram of a connection interface provided in an embodiment of the present application, where a master device shown in the connection interface is a mobile phone, and a slave device includes: intelligent screen, notebook computer, panel computer, wireless earphone and audio amplifier. If the connection operation of the sound box icon and the tablet computer icon to the mobile phone icon is detected, the mobile phone can establish a connection relationship with the sound box and the tablet computer.

Further, the mobile phone can set the tablet personal computer and the voice box to work cooperatively through a setting interface of the equipment connection function. For example, the tablet computer may be set to run a music playing application program, and sound played by the music playing application program in the tablet computer is played through the sound box.

Step 902, the first terminal device acquires the function information of each second terminal device, and updates the function set of the first terminal device.

Step 903, the first terminal device sends the function set of the first terminal device to the application server.

Step 904, the application server searches for a target application program matched with the function set, and feeds back an application identifier of the target application program to the first terminal device.

In step 905, the first terminal device obtains, from the application server, a target application program corresponding to at least one application identifier according to the plurality of application identifiers.

Step 906, the first terminal device distributes the sub-application program to each second terminal device according to the dependency information.

Step 907, the first terminal device drives the second terminal device through the sub-application.

The process from step 902 to step 907 is similar to the process from step 502 to step 507, and will not be described herein.
