The application control method of the embodiment of the invention can be realized by the terminal or can be realized by the terminal and the server together.

The method for controlling the application is described below by taking a case where the terminal and the server together implement the method.

As shown in fig. 1, an application control system provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a terminal 10, a server 20, and the like; the terminal 10 and the server 20 are connected to each other through a network, for example, a wired or wireless network connection.

The terminal 10 may be a terminal for executing application control, and configured to obtain control application information of a control application to be connected with a target connection application in a local terminal, determine a target control application based on the control application information, send security authentication information of the target connection application to the target control application through the target connection application, and establish a secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application based on the security authentication information.

The server 20 may be configured to receive a control instruction input by a user, and send the control instruction to the terminal 10.

The terminal 10 may receive the control instruction, and control the target connection application based on the secure communication connection through the target control application.

It will be appreciated that the user may also directly input the control command to the terminal 10, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

The following will describe in detail. The following description of the embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred embodiments.

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in terms of an application control device, which may be integrated in a terminal in particular.

As shown in fig. 2, the specific flow of the application control method of the present embodiment may be as follows:

201. and acquiring control application information of a control application to be connected with the target connection application in the local terminal.

The target connection application is an application program which needs to be connected with the control application. The application type of the target connection application may be a video application, a communication application, a music application, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the application type of the target connection application.

Specifically, the determining of the target connection application may be automatically taking the application of the non-control application as the target connection application when the application of any non-control application in the detection terminal is started; alternatively, the target connection application may be determined according to a user selection operation of an application in the terminal.

In the embodiment of the invention, the target connection application and the control application are positioned in the same terminal, so that the target connection application is controlled by the target control application after the target control application is connected with the target connection application.

In some optional embodiments, the control application in the local may be determined through information in the local broadcast, so as to obtain control application information of the control application, that is, before step 201, the application control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

Acquiring a local broadcast message;

and analyzing the local broadcast message, and determining a control application to be connected with the target connection application in the local of the terminal.

The local broadcast message may be a localhost broadcast, i.e., a broadcast performed locally at the terminal. For example, some applications in the terminal may send local broadcast messages, other applications may receive local broadcast messages sent by the applications, and so on.

For example, the local broadcast message may be received by the target connection application, and each control application may be found in the local broadcast message by the target connection application.

202. And determining a target control application based on the control application information.

The control application information may be information for describing the control application. For example, the control application information may include, but is not limited to, a vendor identification number, an application identification number, and/or an application name of the control application, etc.

In some examples, the target control application may be automatically determined. For example, in the target connection application, a control application that can only be connected with a control application corresponding to a certain application identification number may be set through preset connection information, and then the target control application may be determined according to the control application information and the preset connection information in the target connection application.

In other examples, the target control application may be selected by the user at his discretion. For example, when the terminal has a display page, a selection page may be displayed on the terminal for the user to select a target control application to connect with the target connection application. That is, the step of "determining the target control application based on the control application information" may specifically include:

based on the control application information, displaying a control application selection control in an application page of the target connection application;

and receiving a control application selection instruction input by a user, and determining a target control application connected with the target connection application according to the control application selection instruction.

The control application selection instruction may be automatically generated through operations such as touch control of a user, or may be input by the user through modes such as voice and text, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the target connection application may list, in the application page, control applications corresponding to all the control application information according to the control application information, and prompt the user to select which control application to connect with. And responding to the control application selection operation of the user, and taking the control application selected by the user as a target control application.

203. And sending the security authentication information of the target connection application to the target control application through the target connection application.

The target control application is a control application connected with the target connection application. It will be appreciated that there may be several control applications in the same terminal, as shown in fig. 3, and that each control application may also be connected to several applications.

For example, the connection of the same control application to a plurality of applications may be implemented by the following code:

specifically, when the target control application is determined by a manner determined by the user at his own discretion, step 203 may include:

and responding to the control application selection instruction, and sending the security authentication information of the target connection application to the target control application through the target connection application.

The security authentication information may include, but is not limited to, a target connection application identifier of the target connection application, a security authentication identifier, and the like. For example, the target connection application identifier may be a unique identifier of the target connection application, the security authentication identifier may be a unique password of the target connection application, such as a PIN code of the target connection application, or the like.

204. And based on the security authentication information, establishing a secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application.

The secure communication connection is a connection for communication between the target connection application and the target control application. For example, the target connection application may forward control instructions to the target control application over the secure communication connection, and so on.

In some alternative embodiments, the secure communication connection may be established directly through the target connection application, based on the secure authentication information. For example, the target connection application may directly attempt to establish a connection with each connection application according to the PIN code in the security authentication information, and use the successfully established connection as the secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application.

In other optional embodiments, the security authentication information may include a target connection application identifier and a security authentication identifier of the target connection application, and the target control application may obtain application information of the target connection application from the received application information of the plurality of connection applications according to the target connection application identifier. That is, the step of "establishing a secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application based on the secure authentication information" may specifically include:

Acquiring connection application information of a connection application which can be connected with the target control application in the local terminal, wherein the connection application information comprises connection application identifiers of the connection applications;

The connection application information is used for describing the connection application, and the connection application information may include, but is not limited to, a vendor identification number, an application name, and/or an application unique identification of the connection application.

The connection application that can be connected with the target control application in the local may be determined through the information in the local broadcast, so as to obtain control application information of the control application, that is, before step 201, the application control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

acquiring a local broadcast message;

and analyzing the local broadcast message, and determining a connection application to be connected with the target control application in the local of the terminal.

For example, the local broadcast message may be received by the target control application, and each connection application may be found in the local broadcast message by the target control application.

Specifically, the connection application information of the target connection application may be determined from the connection application information of the plurality of connection applications by matching the identifiers, that is, the step of determining the connection application information of the target connection application according to each of the connection application identifiers and the target connection application identifier may include:

and matching the connection application identifiers with the target connection application identifiers, and taking connection application information corresponding to the connection application identifiers successfully matched with the target connection application identifiers as connection application information of the target connection application.

When the identifiers are matched, the two identifiers are identical as a condition of successful matching, or the identifiers sent by the target connection application each time may be changed according to a certain mapping rule due to different transmission time of the identifiers, at this time, the two identifiers may be matched with a preset mapping rule as a condition of successful matching, and so on.

In some alternative embodiments, it may be confirmed by the user whether a secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application is to be established. For example, when the terminal has a display page, the page may be confirmed on the terminal for the user to confirm that the secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application is established. That is, the step of "establishing a secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application based on the secure authentication identification of the target connection application and the connection application information" may include:

Based on the connection application information of the target connection application, a connection application confirmation control is displayed in an application page of the target control application so that the user can confirm to establish connection between the target control application and the target connection application;

and receiving a connection confirmation instruction input by a user, and establishing the secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application based on the secure authentication identifier of the target connection application.

For example, the target control application may display connection application information of the target connection application in an application page, prompting the user to confirm connection with the target connection application. And in response to a connection confirmation operation of a user, establishing a secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application.

It will be appreciated that when a connection is established, if the target connection application reads information having a certain public property, such as vendor Id, application Id, etc., of the target control application, and the validity of the information is not verified, the established communication connection may not be secure for the target connection application, and thus, the target connection application is provided with information having higher security in combination with the target control application for verification by the target connection application. That is, the step of "establishing a secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application based on the secure authentication information" may specifically include:

Based on the security authentication information, sending security verification information of the target control application to the target connection application through the target control application;

The security check information may be information that the target control application has privacy, and may prove that the target control application is indeed the initiator in the connection establishment process. For example, the security verification information may include a public key of a device certificate of the target control application, or may include other information of the target control application besides the public key of the device certificate of the target control application, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

In some examples, the security check information may be sent directly by the target control application to the target connection application during the establishment of the secure communication connection. Alternatively, the security check information may be sent when the target connection application requests a validity check of the information. That is, the step of "transmitting, by the target control application, security check information of the target control application to the target connection application based on the security authentication information" may specifically include:

Establishing a connection to be verified between the target connection application and the target control application based on the security authentication information;

at this time, the step of "establishing a secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application based on the security check information" may specifically include:

The connection to be verified can be marked by the target connection application. For example, the target connection application may detect a connection currently established, and if the connection is not trusted, mark the connection as a connection to be verified.

In the actual application process, since the security of the connection is unknown to the target connection application, the target connection application generally performs the reliability check. That is, the step of "establishing a secure communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application based on the security check information" may specifically include:

Triggering the target connection application to perform credibility verification on the safety verification information based on the safety verification information;

and if the safety verification information passes the credibility verification, establishing the safety communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application.

The trust check may include, but is not limited to: whether the certificate belongs to a trusted, such as a trusted root certificate issue; whether the signature is correct; whether the random number is correct, etc.

When the security verification information passes the credibility verification, the connection to be verified can be marked as credible connection through the target connection application and used as the security communication connection between the target connection application and the target control application.

In some optional examples, the step of "triggering the target connection application to perform the trust check on the security check information based on the security check information" may specifically include:

triggering the target connection application to send credibility verification information to the target control application based on the safety verification information;

The trust verification information may be a key of the target connection application, or the trust verification information may be a random number provided by the target connection application, or the like.

Specifically, the step of "performing, by the target control application, the trust verification on the security verification information based on the trust verification information" may include:

generating credibility feedback information based on the credibility verification information and control application information through the target control application, and sending the credibility feedback information to the target connection application;

and carrying out credibility verification on the credibility feedback information based on the credibility verification information through the target connection application.

The credibility feedback information can be obtained by mapping the credibility verification information and the control application information by a target control application through a preset feedback mapping rule.

For example, the target control application may encrypt its device information, such as vendor Id, application name, and random number, using a device certificate private key signature to obtain the trusted feedback information.

In some embodiments, when the target connection application performs the reliability check, it may be checked whether the information such as vendor Id, application name and the like in the reliability feedback information is consistent with the control application information of the target control application.

205. And controlling the target connection application based on the secure communication connection through the target control application.

In the embodiment of the invention, the target connection application completes the access authentication work with the target control application, and the subsequent control can be realized.

The IoT control end sends the control command to the target control application, and the target control application can wake up the target connection application when necessary, forward the command, and realize control.

In some optional examples, the step of "controlling, by the target control application, the target connection application based on the secure communication connection" may specifically include:

receiving a control instruction sent by control equipment through the target control application;

Taking the internet of things device as an example of intelligent electricity, a content providing application (target connection application) and a target control application in the intelligent television can establish a secure communication connection through a technical schematic diagram as shown in fig. 4.

Specifically, the establishment of the secure communication connection between the content providing application and the target control application in the smart television can be realized through the following codes.

The input unit 703 may be used to receive input numeric or character information and to generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function control. In particular, in one particular embodiment, the input unit 703 may include a touch-sensitive surface, as well as other input devices. The touch-sensitive surface, also referred to as a touch display screen or a touch pad, may collect touch operations thereon or thereabout by a user (e.g., operations thereon or thereabout by a user using any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, stylus, etc.), and actuate the corresponding connection means according to a predetermined program. Alternatively, the touch-sensitive surface may comprise two parts, a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the touch azimuth of a user, detects a signal brought by touch operation and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device and converts it into touch point coordinates, which are then sent to the processor 708, and can receive commands from the processor 708 and execute them. In addition, touch sensitive surfaces may be implemented in a variety of types, such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic waves. The input unit 703 may comprise other input devices in addition to the touch-sensitive surface. In particular, other input devices may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), a trackball, mouse, joystick, etc.

The display unit 704 may be used to display information input by a user or information provided to a user and various graphical user interfaces of the electronic device, which may be composed of graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof. The display unit 704 may include a display panel, which may be optionally configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD, liquid Crystal Display), an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), or the like. Further, the touch-sensitive surface may overlay a display panel, and upon detection of a touch operation thereon or thereabout, the touch-sensitive surface is passed to the processor 708 to determine the type of touch event, and the processor 708 then provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel based on the type of touch event. Although in fig. 7 the touch sensitive surface and the display panel are implemented as two separate components for input and output functions, in some embodiments the touch sensitive surface may be integrated with the display panel to implement the input and output functions.

The electronic device may also include at least one sensor 705, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. In particular, the light sensor may include an ambient light sensor that may adjust the brightness of the display panel according to the brightness of ambient light, and a proximity sensor that may turn off the display panel and/or backlight when the electronic device is moved to the ear. As one of the motion sensors, the gravity acceleration sensor can detect the acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the gravity and the direction when the mobile phone is stationary, and can be used for applications of recognizing the gesture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer gesture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer and knocking), and the like; other sensors such as gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc. that may also be configured with the electronic device are not described in detail herein.

Audio circuitry 706, speakers, and a microphone may provide an audio interface between the user and the electronic device. The audio circuit 706 may transmit the received electrical signal converted from audio data to a speaker, where it is converted into a sound signal for output; on the other hand, the microphone converts the collected sound signals into electrical signals, which are received by the audio circuit 706 and converted into audio data, which are processed by the audio data output processor 708 for transmission to, for example, another electronic device via the RF circuit 701, or which are output to the memory 702 for further processing. The audio circuit 706 may also include an ear bud jack to provide communication of the peripheral ear bud with the electronic device.

WiFi belongs to a short-distance wireless transmission technology, and the electronic equipment can help a user to send and receive emails, browse webpages, access streaming media and the like through the WiFi module 707, so that wireless broadband Internet access is provided for the user. Although fig. 7 shows a WiFi module 707, it is to be understood that it is not a necessary component of an electronic device, and may be omitted entirely as needed within a range that does not change the essence of the invention.

The processor 708 is the control center of the electronic device, utilizes various interfaces and lines to connect the various parts of the overall handset, performs various functions of the electronic device and processes data by running or executing software programs and/or modules stored in the memory 702, and invoking data stored in the memory 702. Optionally, the processor 708 may include one or more processing cores; preferably, the processor 708 may integrate an application processor that primarily handles operating systems, user interfaces, applications, etc., with a modem processor that primarily handles wireless communications. It will be appreciated that the modem processor described above may not be integrated into the processor 708.

The electronic device also includes a power supply 709 (e.g., a battery) for powering the various components, which may be logically connected to the processor 708 by a power management system, such as to perform functions such as managing charge, discharge, and power consumption by the power management system. The power supply 709 may also include one or more of any of a direct current or alternating current power supply, a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator, and the like.
