Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for loading a terminal application APP in the first embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the method for loading a terminal application APP in this embodiment includes: S101: receiving a first application to trigger an opening action of a main application APP installed on the terminal and including at least one sub-application APP instruction.

Specifically, the user can touch a designated area of the touch screen of the terminal with a finger, and the designated area is the position where the icon 110 of the main application APP is located. The terminal receives the first instruction that the user triggers the opening action of the main application APP by sensing the user's action of clicking the icon 110 of the main application APP.

S102: In response to the first instruction, obtain application loading information that is generated based on the usage frequency information of the sub-application APP for a preset duration and includes identification information of the sub-application APP to be loaded.

In this embodiment, after the user triggers the opening action of a certain main application APP, it is necessary to determine the sub-application APP to be loaded in the process of opening the main application APP. In this embodiment, after receiving the above-mentioned first command, the terminal can read the application loading information from a certain directory of the terminal, and the application loading information can indicate that the application should be loaded during the process of opening the main application APP. Which sub-application APP includes?

The above application loading information may be generated based on the usage frequency information of the sub-application APP during a preset time period. Among them, the usage frequency information is information used to characterize the usage frequency of each sub-application APP. For example, the set of sub-applications contained in the interface 12 of a certain main application APP (the application APP corresponding to the figure 110) is: {first sub-application APP, second sub-application APP, third sub-application APP, fourth Sub-application APP, fifth sub-application APP, sixth sub-application APP}, where the first sub-application APP is the application APP corresponding to the illustration 112, the second sub-application APP is the application APP corresponding to the illustration 113, The three sub-application APP is the application APP corresponding to the icon 114, the fourth sub-app APP is the application APP corresponding to the icon 115, the fifth sub-application APP is the application APP corresponding to the icon 116, and the sixth sub-application APP is The application APP corresponding to illustration 117. As mentioned above, assuming that the default duration used to count the usage frequency information is one week, through statistical analysis: the usage frequency information of the first sub-app APP in the past week: 3.2 times/day; the second Use frequency information of the sub-app APP in the past week: 8.5 times/day; Use frequency information of the third sub-app APP in the past week: 4.3 times/day; Use the fourth sub-app APP in the past week Frequency information: 5.5 times/day; information on the frequency of use of the fifth sub-app in the past week: 1.2 times/day; information on the frequency of use of the sixth sub-app in the past week: 0.5 times/day.

Then, based on the above statistical analysis, the usage frequency information of each sub-application in a preset period of time (such as one week) can be sorted from high to low according to the usage frequency information, and one or more sub-applications with a higher frequency of use can be sorted The APP is determined as the sub-application APP to be loaded during the process of starting the main application APP. Of course, the terminal can determine the sub-application APP to be loaded in advance according to the usage frequency information obtained periodically, and accordingly generate application loading information that can be read by the terminal.

In this embodiment of the present application, the application loading information may include identification information of each sub-application APP to be loaded, such as: the determined sub-application APP to be loaded is the second sub-application APP (the application APP corresponding to Figure 113) and the first sub-application APP. The four sub-application APP (the application APP corresponding to the figure 115), the application loading information may carry the identification information of the second sub-application APP and the identification information of the fourth sub-application APP. Wherein, the aforementioned identification information may be an application name, or an application number, etc.

In some embodiments of the present application, before obtaining the above application loading information, the application loading information can be generated through the following steps:

a1) Send request information for obtaining usage frequency information to the server.

For each sub-application APP installed on the terminal (client side), the server side of each sub-application APP can be used to count the usage frequency information of each user using the sub-application within a preset period of time. Correspondingly, the server can record the number of times the user logs in to the application APP account, or the number of times the user accesses the server data. Generally, the terminal can send to the server side request information for obtaining usage frequency information of each sub-application APP contained in a certain main application APP. The request information can carry the user ID, the preset duration, and the identification of the main application APP. Information etc. It is worth mentioning that, in some embodiments, the terminal may send the above request information to the server of the main application APP, and then the server of the main application APP collects the above usage frequency from the server of each sub-application APP. Information.

a2) Responding to the request information, receiving the usage frequency information of each sub-application APP included in the main application APP from the server side for a preset duration.

The server-side feeds back the usage frequency information of each sub-app APP used by the user in the past preset period of time obtained by statistics to the aforementioned terminal.

a3) Sort the received usage frequency information from high to low, and determine the sub-application APP whose usage frequency information is ranked at the top as the sub-application APP to be loaded.

As mentioned above, it is possible to sort according to the frequency of use information, and take the sub-apps ranked at the top (indicating that the sub-apps are used more frequently) as the sub-apps to be loaded. The number of application APPs can be selected or determined by the user, or can be determined by the terminal according to the total number of sub-applications contained in the main application APP (for example, it is determined that the number of sub-applications to be loaded is half of the total).

a4) Generate application loading information containing identification information of the sub-application APP to be loaded and store it in the designated directory of the terminal.

Application loading information can be written into a readable file, and the file can be stored in the designated directory of the main application APP.

In another embodiment of the present application, before obtaining the above application loading information, the application loading information can be generated through the following steps:

b1) Obtain the usage frequency information of each sub-application APP included in the main application APP in the preset duration from the installation directory of the main application APP of the terminal.

b2) Sort the acquired usage frequency information from high to low, and determine the sub-application APP whose usage frequency information is ranked at the top as the sub-application APP to be loaded.

b3) Generate application loading information containing the identification information of the sub-application APP to be loaded and store it in the designated directory of the terminal.

In the above process, the terminal can monitor the user's use of the main application APP and the behavior data of each sub-application APP contained therein, and obtain statistics on the usage frequency information of the user using each sub-application APP and store it in the local storage space of the terminal. The terminal can periodically read the above-mentioned usage frequency information from the local storage space and generate a readable file containing application loading information.

S103: According to the identification information of the sub-application APP to be loaded included in the obtained application loading information, determine and load the sub-application APP to be loaded in the process of opening the main application APP.

In step S103, the terminal can analyze each sub-application APP to be loaded according to the obtained file pre-written with the above-mentioned application loading information, and load each sub-application APP determined above during the process of opening the main application APP. . For example: if the determined application APPs to be loaded are the second application APP and the fourth application APP, only the above two application APPs need to be loaded during the process of opening the main application APP, thereby avoiding opening a certain main application in the prior art In the process of APP, it is necessary to load all the sub-apps included in the main application at one time, resulting in long loading time and slow opening speed of the main application.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of loading a sub-application APP in a main application APP in a method for loading a terminal application APP in an embodiment of the application. In this embodiment, the process of loading the sub-application APP in the main application APP specifically includes:

S1031: Determine the sub-application APP to be loaded in the process of opening the main application APP according to the identification information of the sub-application APP to be loaded included in the obtained application loading information.

S1032: Determine whether the terminal has an installation directory of the sub-application APP to be loaded.

In the embodiment of the present application, each sub-application APP included in the main application APP can be packaged into a separate application APP and installed on the aforementioned terminal. Please continue to refer to FIG. 1, in addition to the icon 110 of the main application, the main interface 11 of the terminal also includes the icons 112, 113, 114, 115, 116 of the sub-applications included in the main application. In other words, each sub-application APP can be installed independently on the terminal 10. After the installation is completed, an installation directory corresponding to each sub-application APP exists on the terminal 10, and the installation directory stores the installation files of each sub-application APP. Finally, the terminal can scan the storage space to determine whether there is an installation directory corresponding to the sub-application APP to be loaded in the storage space of the terminal.

S1033: If there is an installation directory corresponding to the sub-application APP to be loaded in the storage space of the terminal, obtain storage path information corresponding to the installation directory of the sub-application APP to be loaded.

In this embodiment, after a sub-application APP is successfully installed, a file can be stored in a specified path under the installation directory of the main application APP corresponding to the sub-application APP, and the file can be written into the sub-application to be loaded. The storage path information corresponding to the installation directory of the application APP. In this way, after triggering the opening action of the main application APP, the main application APP will read the above-mentioned file written into the storage path information corresponding to the installation directory of a certain sub-app APP to be loaded to obtain the sub-application currently to be loaded The storage path information corresponding to the APP installation directory. For example, the storage path information corresponding to the installation directory of the first sub-app APP (the APP corresponding to figure 112) is: Program Files/appl/a, and the installation directory of the main application APP is: Program Files/app, then the above can be stored The path information is written into a file, and the file is stored in the installation directory of the main application APP: Program Files/app.

S1034: Based on the obtained storage path information, call the file in the installation directory of the sub-application APP to be loaded in the main application APP and load the sub-application APP to be loaded.

In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the storage path information of the sub-application APP to be loaded, the main application APP calls the resources of the sub-application to be loaded through the storage path, that is, the terminal can be in the current main application APP The installation file in the installation directory of a certain sub-application APP is reused under the framework of the above, so as to load the sub-application APP to be loaded under the main application APP. Of course, when the main application APP is not opened, the user can also click on the icon of each sub-application in the main interface 11 to independently run each sub-application APP.

S104: If the terminal does not have an installation directory of the sub-application APP to be loaded, obtain an installation package corresponding to the sub-application APP to be loaded and install it on the terminal.

For example, it is finally determined that the sub-application APP to be loaded includes the sixth sub-application APP (the APP corresponding to the illustration 117). It can be found that, assuming that there is no icon of the sixth sub-application APP on the main interface 11 of the terminal, It indicates that the current terminal does not install the sixth sub-app APP (that is, there is no installation directory of the sub-app APP to be loaded), then the terminal can push to the user a request to download and install the sixth sub-app APP at this time Information, if the user agrees to download and install, the terminal can obtain the installation package of the sixth sub-application APP from the Internet and download and install it on the terminal.

S105: Store the storage path information corresponding to the installation directory of the sub-application APP to be loaded in the installation directory of the main application APP.

As mentioned earlier, after the installation of a sub-app APP is completed, the storage path information corresponding to the installation directory of the sub-app APP can be written into a file, and the file can be stored in the installation directory of the main application APP . In this way, when the user subsequently triggers the opening action of the main application APP, the storage path information corresponding to the sub-application APP can be found, and resources in the installation directory of the sub-application APP can be called according to the storage path information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: receiving a second instruction used to trigger an opening action of the first sub-application APP included in the main application APP.

Corresponding to the second instruction, it is determined whether the first sub-application APP is a sub-application APP loaded in the process of opening the main application APP.

If the first sub-application APP is not a sub-application APP loaded in the process of opening the main application APP, it is determined whether the terminal has an installation directory of the first sub-application APP.

If the terminal does not have an installation directory corresponding to the first sub-application APP, obtain the installation package corresponding to the first sub-application APP and install it on the terminal; store in the installation directory of the main application APP Storage path information corresponding to the installation directory of the first sub-application APP to be loaded.

If the terminal has an installation directory corresponding to the first sub-application APP, obtain the storage path information corresponding to the installation directory of the first sub-application APP to be loaded; based on the obtained storage path information, in the main The application APP calls the file in the installation directory of the first sub-application APP to be loaded and loads the first sub-application APP to be loaded.

If combined with specific application scenarios, the above process can be: after the user opens the interface of a certain main application APP, the user can click on the icon of a certain sub-app APP in the interface of the main application APP to trigger the opening action of a certain sub-app APP . Thereafter, the terminal can scan the storage space of the terminal to determine whether the installation directory of the sub-app APP to be opened already exists in the storage space (determine whether the sub-app APP has been installed), if not, download the sub-app via the Internet The APP installation package is installed as an independent application APP, and the storage path information of the sub-app APP is written into a specific file, and the specific file is stored in the installation directory of the main application APP. On the other hand, if the scan finds that the storage space memory is in the installation directory of the sub-application APP to be opened, read the storage path information of the sub-application in the installation directory of the main application APP to invoke the installation of the sub-application APP The installation files in the directory, so as to realize the main application APP to open the sub-application APP through resource reuse.

In this embodiment, the difference between step S202 and step S102 in the previous embodiment is that the application loading information can be generated according to the sub-application APP to be loaded selected by the user. For example, through the loading setting function of the main application APP, the user can select several sub-applications that need to be loaded as objects that need to be loaded during the process of opening the main application APP. For example, the user can select the first sub-application APP and the second sub-application APP that are commonly used daily as the aforementioned sub-application APPs to be loaded.

The application loading information of the identification information.

In this embodiment, step S302 is compared with the above embodiments. The difference is that the user can determine the number of sub-application APPs to be loaded through the setting function of the main application APP. The usage frequency information of each sub-application APP, assuming sorting according to the usage frequency information, the final ranking of each sub-application APP is: the second sub-app> the fourth sub-app> the first sub-app> the fifth sub-app APP>The third sub-application APP>The sixth sub-application APP. Finally, three application APPs to be loaded are obtained: the second sub-application APP, the fourth sub-application APP, and the first sub-application APP, so that the application loading information is generated and stored in the storage space of the terminal.

S303: Determine and load the sub-application APP to be loaded during the process of opening the main application APP according to the identification information of the sub-application APP to be loaded included in the obtained application loading information.
