The application sharing method provided by the embodiment of the application is introduced below.

The application sharing method provided by the embodiment of the application can be used for sharing the application among the electronic devices. Fig. 4 is a schematic view of an application sharing scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 4, the scenario may include a plurality of electronic devices, illustrated in fig. 4 as a first electronic device and a second electronic device. The first electronic device may be an electronic device that initiates application sharing, and the second electronic device may be an electronic device that receives application sharing. The first user may trigger the generation of an application business card of a first application on the first electronic device, and the first application may be any application installed on the first electronic device. The first electronic device may send the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device. The application business card of the first application may use the multimedia content of the first application as a carrier, such as an interface screenshot of the first application, a promotional video of the first application, and so on. The application business card of the first application may also be used to indicate installation information of the first application. After receiving the application business card of the first application, the second electronic device can request the first electronic device for an installation package of the first application according to the installation information of the first application indicated by the application business card of the first application, and then install the first application on the second electronic device according to the installation package of the first application.

In the embodiment of the application, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can share the application through end-to-end communication between the two electronic devices, for example, the first electronic device can send an application business card of the first application to the second electronic device through NFC or Bluetooth connection. The first electronic device may also share the application business card with the second electronic device through an application installed on the first electronic device. If the first electronic device sends the application business card of the first application in the chat interface of the first user and the second user through the instant messaging application, or the first electronic device shares the application business card of the first application to the social application platform in the social application. The first electronic device may also send the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device through a system level sharing function of the electronic device. The system level sharing function of the electronic device can be a function provided by an electronic device manufacturer for rapidly transferring data among a plurality of electronic devices.

Optionally, referring to fig. 4, the scenario may further include an application market server, a developer of the first application may upload an application business card of the first application to an application market, a user may view the application business card of the first application in an application of the application market installed on the electronic device, the electronic device may save the application business card of the first application to an album application, the electronic device may convert and install the first application according to the application business card of the first application, and the electronic device may further share the application business card of the first application to other electronic devices.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the application business card of the first application may use the multimedia content as a carrier, and application sharing between electronic devices may be regarded as sharing the multimedia content between the electronic devices, so that the scenario of sharing the multimedia content between the electronic devices is applicable to the application sharing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The application sharing method provided by the embodiment of the application is further described below by taking interaction of the first electronic device and the second electronic device as an example. The first electronic device is an electronic device for initiating application sharing, the second electronic device is an electronic device for receiving application sharing, and the second electronic device can be multiple.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of an application sharing method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 5, the method includes the steps of:

s501: the first electronic device responds to the first operation to generate an application business card of the first application.

Alternatively, the first operation may be an operation triggered by the first user to generate an application business card of the first application, for example, the first operation may be a long-press operation, a double-click operation, etc. on an icon of the first application, and for example, the first operation may be a click operation of a generation button corresponding to the application business card of the first application. For example, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an application business card triggered by a user to generate a first application according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to (a) of fig. 6, the first electronic device displays application icons of a plurality of applications installed on the first electronic device, the first user may press the icons of the first application for a long time, the first electronic device displays an interface as shown in (b) of fig. 6, in which a function list may be displayed beside the icons of the first application, and the first user may click a control corresponding to "generate business card" in the function list, to trigger the first operation.

The application business card of the first application in the embodiment of the application can be used for displaying the functions, interfaces and other contents of the first application. After detecting the first operation, the first electronic device may acquire multimedia content corresponding to the first application. Optionally, the multimedia content corresponding to the first application may include an application snapshot, an application interface screenshot, a video, and the like. The multimedia content corresponding to the first application may be used as a presentation form of an application business card of the first application, that is, when the first electronic device or the second electronic device displays the application business card of the first application, the content observable by the user may be the multimedia content corresponding to the first application.

For example, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of an application business card of a first application according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 7, the application business card of the first application may include multimedia content corresponding to the first application, for example, the multimedia content corresponding to the first application in fig. 7 may be an interface screenshot of the first application.

The application business card of the first application in the embodiment of the application can also comprise the signature of the first application, and the signature of the first application can be used for indicating the installation information of the first application. In an optional embodiment, after detecting the first operation, the first electronic device may acquire installation information of the first application, where the installation information of the first application may include an installation packet storage address of the first application, and optionally, the installation information of the first application may further include at least one of an integrity check code, a data storage address, an installation packet version number, and other information. The first electronic device can carry out coding processing on the installation information of the first application according to a preset coding mode to obtain the installation information after the coding processing. Alternatively, the preset encoding mode may be a serialization encoding mode, such as hash encoding. The first electronic device may acquire a first time when the user triggers the first operation, and splice the first time with the installation information after the encoding process, to generate a signature of the first application.

In the embodiment of the application, after the first electronic device generates the signature of the first application, the signature of the first application can be encoded into the preset encoding slot of the multimedia content, so that the application business card of the first application is generated.

Alternatively, the preset encoding slots may be a plurality of preset pixel bits of the multimedia content. For example, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a preset coding slot according to an embodiment of the present application. In fig. 8, taking multimedia content as an example of a picture, assuming that the resolution of the picture is 12×12, the picture includes 144 pixels, and the electronic device may store a pixel value of each pixel when storing the picture. For example, when the picture is in RGB format, the electronic device may store R, G, B three-channel values for each pixel in the picture. Referring to fig. 8, the preset encoding slot may be a plurality of preset pixel bits in the picture, and the plurality of pixel bits may be a plurality of continuous pixel bits or a plurality of scattered pixel bits. For example, the preset encoding slots may be 12 consecutive pixel bits within the dashed box in fig. 8; or the preset encoding slots may be 12 discrete pixel bits shown filled with black in fig. 8.

It should be noted that, when the multimedia content is a moving picture or a video, the preset encoding slot may be a plurality of pixel bits on a frame of image, or the preset encoding slot may be a plurality of pixel bits on a multi-frame image. The embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In an alternative embodiment, when the first electronic device encodes the signature of the first application into the preset encoding slot of the multimedia content, the first electronic device may encode the signature of the first application into the preset encoding slot of the multimedia content through a substitution operation or a logic operation. For example, the first electronic device may replace the multimedia content corresponding to the preset encoding slot with the signature of the first application, thereby implementing encoding the signature of the first application into the preset encoding slot of the multimedia content. For another example, the first electronic device may perform a logical operation on the multimedia content corresponding to the signature of the first application and the preset encoding slot, for example, perform a superposition operation on the multimedia content corresponding to the signature of the first application and the preset encoding slot, and encode the signature of the first application into the preset encoding slot of the multimedia content. In this way, the application business card of the first application can be made to carry the signature of the first application while maintaining the complete content of the multimedia content.

As can be seen from the foregoing description, the preset encoding slot may be a plurality of continuous pixel bits or a plurality of scattered pixel bits, and in an alternative embodiment, when the preset encoding slot corresponds to the first area in the application business card, the application business card of the first application generated by the first electronic device may embody, through a display effect, a signature of the first application included in the application business card. Optionally, according to different encoding modes adopted by the first electronic device, a display mode of the signature of the first application in the application business card of the first application may also be different, for example, the signature of the first application in the application business card of the first application may be displayed as a barcode, a two-dimensional code, a mosaic area, and the like. For example, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of an application business card of a first application according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 9, a signature of a first application is displayed as a two-dimensional code in an application business card of the first application.

In another alternative embodiment, when the preset coding slot corresponds to the positions of the plurality of scattered pixels in the application business card, the display effect of the application business card of the first application generated by the first electronic device is the same as the display effect of the multimedia content, that is, after the signature codes of the first application are scattered and coded into the multimedia content, the scattered fewer pixels change, and the display of the multimedia content is not greatly affected, and when the electronic device displays the application business card of the first application, the content that can be seen by the user is still the multimedia content, as shown in fig. 7, where the application business card of the first application generated according to this manner can be shown in fig. 7.

In the embodiment of the application, the first electronic device can also take any one of the preset coding slots as the identification bit, the identification bit is used for storing the name card identification, and the name card identification can be used for indicating that the multimedia content is an application name card. For example, the first electronic device may use the name card identifier as a starting position of the signature of the first application when encoding the signature of the first application into a preset encoding slot of the multimedia content. After receiving the application business card of the first application, the other electronic devices can determine that the received multimedia content is the application business card according to the business card identification, can search a preset coding slot where the signature of the first application is located according to the business card identification, and acquire the signature of the first application.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of displaying an application business card of a first application by a first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 10, the first electronic device displays an application business card of the first application, and the first electronic device may also display a function control associated with the application business card of the first application in the interface, such as the save control and the share control in fig. 10. The storage control can be used for storing the application business card of the first application into the album application of the first electronic device, and the sharing control can be used for sharing the application business card of the first application to the target application or other electronic devices. It can be understood that, after the first electronic device stores the application business card of the first application in the album application of the first electronic device, the first user can view the application business card of the first application in the album application, and the first user can trigger to share the application business card of the first application in the album application.

S503: and the first electronic equipment responds to the second operation, and shares the application business card of the first application to the target application or sends the application business card of the first application to the second electronic equipment.

In an optional embodiment, the second operation may be an operation triggered by the first user to share the application business card of the first application to the target application, for example, the second operation may be a click operation applied to a sharing control corresponding to the target application. And responding to the second operation, the first electronic equipment can share the application business card corresponding to the first application to the target application corresponding to the second operation. For example, the target application may be a social application, the first user may share the application business card of the first application to the social application, thereby posting the application business card of the first application to the social platform, and other users may view the application business card of the first application shared by the first user through the social application. Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of sharing an application business card to a target application according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 11, the first electronic device may issue an application business card of the first application to the target application, and according to the browsing permission set by the user, friends of the first user in the target application may view and store the application business card of the first application, or may directly convert the application business card of the first application into the first application, and install the first application on the electronic device of the friends.

In another optional implementation manner, the second operation may be an operation triggered by the first user to share the application business card of the first application with the second electronic device, for example, the second operation may be a click operation applied to a sharing control corresponding to the second electronic device. In response to the second operation, the first electronic device may send the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device. If the first electronic device can send the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device in an end-to-end communication mode, if the first electronic device can send the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device through NFC connection or Bluetooth connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; or the first electronic device may send the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device through the instant messaging application, for example, the first electronic device sends the application business card of the first application to a server of the instant messaging application, and the server of the instant messaging application forwards the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device; or the first electronic device may send the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device through the wireless local area network, for example, when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in the same local area network, the first electronic device may send the application business card of the first application to the router, and the router forwards the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device. It should be noted that, the above manner of communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is merely an example and not a limitation, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner of communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

S504: the second electronic device displays the application business card of the first application.

In the embodiment of the application, if the first electronic device shares the application business card of the first application to the target application, the second user can use the second electronic device to view the application business card of the first application shared by the first user in the target application. If the first electronic device sends the application business card of the first application to the second electronic device, the second electronic device can receive the application business card of the first application and display the application business card of the first application in the display screen, and optionally, the second electronic device can also store the application business card of the first application in an album application of the second electronic device.

In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the application business card of the first application, the second electronic device can determine that the application business card is currently received by the second electronic device instead of the common multimedia content according to the business card identification in the application business card of the first application, and when the second electronic device displays the application business card, the second electronic device can simultaneously display the conversion control, and the conversion control can be used for triggering the second electronic device to convert and install the first application according to the application business card of the first application.

For example, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of displaying an application business card of a first application by a second electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 12, the first electronic device sends an application business card of the first application to the second electronic device through the chat application, the second electronic device may display the application business card of the first application in the chat interface, and the second electronic device may also display a conversion control and a save control in the interface. The conversion control can be used for converting and installing the first application according to the application business card of the first application, and the storage control can be used for storing the application business card of the first application into the album application of the second electronic device. For example, fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of an album application of a second electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 13, the second electronic device may save the application business card of the first application to the album application of the second electronic device, the second user may view the application business card of the first application in the album application, and the second user may trigger the second electronic device to share the application business card of the first application in the album application, or trigger the second electronic device to convert and install the first application according to the application business card of the first application.

S505: the second electronic equipment responds to the third operation, obtains an installation package of the first application according to the application business card of the first application, and installs the first application on the second electronic equipment according to the installation package of the first application.

Optionally, the third operation may be an operation triggered by the second user that the user converts and installs the first application according to the application business card of the first application. For example, the third operation may be a click operation triggered by the second user on the conversion control shown in FIG. 12. And responding to the third operation, the second electronic equipment can obtain the signature of the first application from the application business card of the first application based on a preset decoding mode according to the preset coding slot position of the signature of the first application in the multimedia content corresponding to the first application.

For example, when the first electronic device encodes the signature of the first application into the preset encoding slot of the multimedia content through the replacement operation, the second electronic device may directly obtain the signature of the first application from the multimedia content corresponding to the first application according to the preset encoding slot.

For another example, when the first electronic device encodes the signature of the first application into the preset encoding slot of the multimedia content through the logic operation, the second electronic device may obtain the first content from the multimedia content corresponding to the first application according to the preset encoding slot, where the first content is a result obtained after the logic operation is performed on the signature of the first application and the multimedia content in the preset encoding slot, and the second electronic device may perform error correction encoding on the first content, restore the rewritten bit in the multimedia content corresponding to the first application, and further obtain the signature of the first application and the multimedia content in the preset encoding slot.

According to the above description, the signature of the first application includes a first time when the user triggers the sharing application, and when the second electronic device receives the application business cards of the plurality of first applications, the second electronic device can determine, according to the first time in the signature, that the application business card of the plurality of application business cards, which is the latest in the first time, analyzes to obtain the signature of the first application, thereby ensuring that the signature obtained by the second electronic device is the latest signature.

The signature of the first application may be used to indicate installation information of the first application, the installation information of the first application may include an installation package storage address of the first application, and the installation information of the first application may further include at least one of an integrity check code, a data storage address, an installation package version number, and the like.

The second electronic device may send request information to the first electronic device, where the request information may include information such as an installation package storage address, a data storage address, an installation package version number, and the like of the first application. After receiving the request information sent by the second electronic device, the first electronic device may send the installation package and the application data of the first application to the second electronic device. After receiving the installation package and the application data of the first application, the second electronic device can install the first application on the second electronic device according to the installation package and the application data of the first application.

In some scenarios of the embodiments of the present application, when the first electronic device shares the application business card of the first application to the target application or sends the application business card of the first application to the plurality of second electronic devices, there may be a plurality of second electronic devices requesting the first electronic device for an installation package of the first application, and when an end-to-end communication link is not established between the first electronic device and the plurality of second electronic devices, the first electronic device needs to send the installation package and application data of the first application to the second electronic device through a cloud server or a router in the wireless local area network, and then the first electronic device needs to upload the installation package and application information of the first application multiple times, and because of limited upload bandwidth, repeated uploading may bring a larger pressure to the communication channel. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the first electronic device can upload the installation package and the application data of the first application to the cache device, and at this time, the installation package storage address of the first application in the signature of the first application is the address of the installation package of the first application stored in the cache device. After detecting the third operation, the second electronic device may send the request information to the cache device, and after receiving the request information sent by the second electronic device, the cache device may send the installation package and the application data of the first application to the second electronic device. After receiving the installation package and the application data of the first application, the second electronic device can install the first application on the second electronic device according to the installation package and the application data of the first application.

For example, fig. 14 is a schematic diagram of a second electronic device after a first application is installed according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 14, after the second electronic device installs the first application on the second electronic device according to the obtained installation package of the first application and application data, an icon of the first application may be displayed on an interface of the second electronic device, and the second user may use the first application on the second electronic device.
