Description

Application processing method, device and system

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to an application processing method, apparatus, and system.

Background technique

The app store is a place for major mobile phone manufacturers, telecom operators, third-party Internet service providers, etc. to provide application developers with their own developed application software. The specific functions of the app store are supported by the corresponding application server. . For example, the mobile app store provides mobile phone users with applications such as mobile phone software, mobile games, mobile phone pictures, mobile phone themes, ringtones, and mobile video through the app store's server.

Application version upgrade is an important function of the app store. When a developer submits a new version of the app to the app store, the user device can detect the new version of the app through the app store client, so that the app on the user device is upgraded to The new version.

Generally, when downloading a new version of an application, the user needs to download a complete new version of the installation package to the user device in order to install it correctly. However, in order to reduce the loss of user equipment traffic, a differential upgrade upgrade method appears. Specifically, the application The application server of the store first differentiates the old version installation package of the application from the new version installation package, obtains the updated partial difference package, and then, the user equipment installed with the old version application applies the difference package to the old version. The installation package combines to build a new version of the installation package and install the corresponding new version of the application.

For example, when the application server of the application store A stores the old version A1 .0 of an application, when the developer uploads the new version A2.0, the application server generates a differential package patch based on the difference between A2.0 and A1.0. When the user device installed with the A1.0 version application requests an upgrade, the application server returns a differential packet Patch_AA21 to the user device. After the user equipment downloads the differential packet, it needs to combine A1.0 and Patch_AA21 on the user equipment side to obtain a new version of the A2-Local application. Generally, the A2-Local application is the same as the A2.0. However, since the source of the app in the app store is thousands of app developers, app developers are counting the same app for the same app in order to count app downloads, usage, and other benefits for different app stores. , often offer different application packages, ie installation packages, to different app stores. When an application on the user device needs to be upgraded, it is assumed that the client of the application store A and the application store B are installed on the user device, and if the old version of an application installed by the user is downloaded from the store A, the installed A1. When both App Store A and App Store B update the new version of the app, such as A2.0 and B2.0, if the user updates the app from App Store B, the DIP package provided by App Store B is only for this app. If the old version of the store is installed, then the user will not be able to use the upgrade method of the differential upgrade to upgrade the application. Therefore, the prior art application processing method cannot implement differential upgrade of applications across the application store. Summary of the invention

101, a first application program acquiring m different installation packages, the installation packages m different from each application store, m≥ ^2.

For the same version of the same application, the application developer may provide different installation packages for each application store, so there may be multiple installation packages for the same application, each from the respective application store in the application processing system.

For example, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the application that the application collection server needs to acquire is the first application, and the application collection server may first obtain the installation package of the first application of the respective application stores; and then generate the respective application stores. Summary information of the installation package of the first application; finally, by comparing the summary information, the m installation packages with different summary information are filtered in the installation package of the first application of the respective application stores. The summary information is summary information of an installation package generated by a specific digest generation algorithm, and is used to distinguish different installation packages.

102. Send the m different installation packages to the first application server, so that the first application server selects the m different installation packages after acquiring the new version installation package of the first application. Obtaining n old version installation packages, and obtaining n difference packages corresponding to the n old version installation packages, where the difference package is used for the old Upgrade of the version installation package, "≥ι.

The application collection server can serve one or more application stores, and collect and process the application. In an actual application, the application collection server usually serves the fixed application store. The embodiment of the present invention assumes that the application collection server is the first application. Store service.

In this way, the application collection server collects a plurality of different installation packages in different application stores, so that the first application server can obtain the old version according to the different installation packages after acquiring the new version installation package of the application. The installation package and the corresponding differential package, since the first application server can provide multiple differential packages, even if the old version installation package of the application that needs to be upgraded in the user equipment is not downloaded in the first application server, the corresponding package can be obtained. The differential package upgrades the application, thus enabling differential upgrades of applications across the store.

Further, the installation package of the first application of each application store may be obtained by using a plurality of methods. For example, the first application store may be obtained by using an application acquisition interface between the application collection server and each application store. The installation package for the application.

The webpage addresses of the respective application stores may be obtained by searching the crawler, and then the download addresses of the first application are obtained in the webpages of the respective application stores according to the webpage addresses of the respective application stores, and finally according to the The download address of the first application downloads the installation package of the first application of the respective application stores.

It should be noted that the search crawler, also known as web crawler, is a program for automatically extracting web pages. It is a search engine for downloading web pages from the World Wide Web, which is an important part of the search engine. In this embodiment, an application store search crawler may be set to obtain the webpage addresses of the respective application stores.

Specifically, after the step 101, the application collection server may further sort the information of the m different installation packages to obtain installation package information, where the installation package information includes: an application identifier, a package name (packageName), and a version number ( Any one or more of versionCode ), file size, summary information, and source. The application identifier and the package name may be used for identification, version number, and summary information of the installation package of the first application. The file size and the source may be displayed by the first application server to the user through the client of the first application store, where the file size is used as reference information for the size of the traffic downloaded by the installation package, The source serves as a reference for the source of the installation package download. The installation package information makes the form and information of each installation package uniform, and is easy to identify and filter. The application collection server may send the installation package information to the first application server while sending the installation package in step 102, so that the first application server performs the installation package according to the version number and the summary information in the installation package information. Filtering to efficiently generate differential packets in subsequent processes. In particular, when the installation package information does not include the version number and the summary information, the first application server may generate a version number and summary information corresponding to the installation package when receiving the installation package, so as to facilitate the installation of each package. selected. An embodiment of the present invention provides an application processing method, as shown in FIG. 2, applied to a first application server, where the first application server serves the first application store, including:

201, m different receiving application installation package first application server sends the collected, the m different installation package is acquired by the collection server application, various applications from a store, m≥ ^2.

202. Receive a new version installation package of the first application.

Specifically, the new version installation package of the first application is usually uploaded to the first application server after the developer completes development.

203. Select, in the m different installation packages, n old version installation packages, where the version number of the old version installation package is smaller than the version number of the new version installation package. For the same version of the same application, the app developer may provide different installation packages for each app store, so there may be more than one old version of the app.

It should be noted that, in general, each application store has its own corresponding application server, which is used to implement storage, acquisition, and the like of the application in the application store. This embodiment assumes that the first application server serves the first application store. The first application server It may be a server system integrated with one or more sub-application servers, which is not limited by the present invention.

204. Differentiate the n old version installation packages from the new version installation package, and obtain n difference packages corresponding to the n old version installation packages, where the difference package is used to install the package of the old version. upgrade.

For example, the first application server may filter, among the m different installation packages, the n old version installation packages whose version number is smaller than the version number of the new version installation package.

In this way, since the application collection server collects a plurality of different installation packages in different application stores, the first application server may obtain the old installation package according to the different installation packages after acquiring the new version installation package of the application. Version installation package and corresponding differential package. Since the first application server can provide multiple differential packages, even if the old version installation package of the application that needs to be upgraded in the user equipment is not downloaded in the first application server, The corresponding differential package upgrades the application, thus enabling differential upgrades of applications across the store.

Specifically, in step 201, the first application server may further receive installation package information of the first application sent by the application collection server, where the installation package information includes: an application identifier, a package name (packageName), and a version number (versionCode) , one or more of file size, summary information, and source. The installation package information makes the form and information of each installation package uniform, and is easy to identify and filter. The application identifier and the package name may be used for identifying the installation package of the first application, and the version number and summary information may be used for screening each installation package, where the file size and source may be adopted by the first application server. A client of an application store is displayed to the user, and the file size is used as reference information for the size of the traffic downloaded by the installation package, and the source is used as reference information for downloading the installation package. The installation package information makes the form and information of each installation package uniform, and is easy to identify and select. The first application server performs the selection of the installation package according to the version number and the summary information in the installation package information, so as to effectively generate the differential package in the subsequent process. In particular, when the installation package information does not include the version number and the summary information, the first application server may generate a version number and summary information corresponding to the installation package when receiving the installation package, so as to facilitate the installation of each package. filter. Or, the first application service The server can also process m different installation packages received by the receiver to obtain complete installation package information.

Further, after step 204, the method further includes:

And receiving, by the user equipment, an application upgrade request for upgrading the first application, where the application upgrade request includes: summary information of a first old version installation package in the user equipment; The summary information of the old version installation package selects a first difference package among the n difference packages, the first difference package and the first old version installation package can be combined to obtain the new version installation package; sending a response message to The user equipment, the response message includes information of the first differential packet, so that the user equipment combines the first differential package and the first old version installation package according to the response message to obtain the New version of the installation package.

It should be noted that, the method for generating the digest information may be used to perform the screening of the first differential package. Specifically, the method includes: extracting summary information of the first old version installation package in the application upgrade request; and upgrading the application. The summary information of the first old version installation package in the request is matched with the summary information of the n difference packages; obtaining a summary of the first old version installation package in the n difference packages and the application upgrade request The first differential packet of the same information. For example, the embodiment of the present invention provides an application processing method. As shown in FIG. 3, this embodiment assumes that the first application is WeChat, the first application server is the application server a, and the application server a serves the application store. A. The application processing system further includes an application store other than the application store A. It is assumed that the application store B and the application store C exist in the other application stores, and the corresponding application servers are the application server b and the application server c, respectively. The collection server provides the application store A with the service collected by the installation package of the first application (ie, WeChat). Specifically, the application processing method includes:

301. The application collection server obtains an installation package of WeChat of each application store. The application collection server may obtain an installation package of the WeChat of each application store through an application acquisition interface between the application collection server and each application store. The webpage addresses of the respective application stores may be obtained by searching the crawler, and then, according to the webpage addresses of the respective application stores, the download addresses of the WeChat are obtained in the webpages of the respective application stores, and finally, according to the download of the WeChat The address download is obtained by the WeChat installation package of each of the application stores. It should be noted that the search crawler, also known as the web crawler, is a program for automatically extracting web pages, which is a search engine for downloading web pages from the World Wide Web, and is an important part of the search engine. In this embodiment, an application store search crawler may be set to obtain a webpage address of each of the application stores.

In particular, since the application collection server serves the application store A, the application collection server may store the installation package of the WeChat in the application store A. Therefore, when acquiring the installation package of the WeChat in the application store A, the application collection server may Extract the WeChat installation package in Store A directly from the locally stored installation package.

This embodiment assumes that the WeChat installation package acquired by the application collection server in the application server a of the application store A is WeChat A1. 0, and the WeChat installation package acquired in the application server b of the application store B is WeChat B 1.0. The WeChat installation package obtained in the application server c of the store C is WeChat C 1.0.

302. The application collection server filters and obtains m different installation packages of WeChat.

For the same version of the same application, the application developer may provide different installation packages for each app store, so there may be multiple installation packages for the same application, each from the app store in the app processing system, due to The same installation package may exist in the installation package obtained by the application collection server, so the installation package needs to be filtered.

The application collection server may generate the summary information of the installation package of the application of each application store by using the same summary generation algorithm, and then filter the summary information in the installation package of the application of each application store by comparing the summary information. M installation packages with different information. The summary information is summary information of an installation package generated by a specific digest generation algorithm, and is used to distinguish different installation packages.

It should be noted that the digest generation algorithm may be various, such as MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm).

This example assumes that the application collection server has obtained three different installation packages, namely m=3, which are the installation packages A1.0, B1.0 and C1.0 respectively.

The application collection server may further organize information of the m different installation packages to obtain installation package information, where the installation package information includes: an application identifier, a package name, a version number, a file size, a summary information, and a source. Or a variety. The installation package information makes the form and information of each installation package uniform, and is easy to identify and filter. The application identifier and the package name may be used for the identification of the installation package of the WeChat, and the version number and the summary information may be used for screening the installation packages, and the file size and source may be used by the application server a through the client of the application store A. The terminal is displayed to the user, and the file size is used as reference information for the size of the traffic downloaded by the installation package, and the source is used as reference information for downloading the installation package. The installation package information makes the form and information of each installation package uniform, which facilitates identification and screening. Further, the application server may send the installation package information to the application server a, so that the application server a performs screening of the installation package according to the installation package information, thereby effectively generating a differential package. Specifically, when the installation package information does not include the version number and the summary information, the application server a may generate a version number and summary information corresponding to the installation package when receiving the installation package, so as to facilitate screening of each installation package. .

The application collection server may record the installation package information of the three different installation packages in the form as shown in Table 1. The application identifier of WeChat A1.0 is A1, the application identifier of WeChat B1.0 is A2, and the application identifier of WeChat C1.0 is A3. The package names of three different installation packages are "com.tencent.weixin". The application names are all letters, the version numbers are 1, 1 and 2, respectively. The three different installation packages are from App Store A, App Store B, and App Store C. The file sizes and summary information of the three are different. Specifically, the unit of the file size is a bit (Byte), and the application identifier is generated to effectively distinguish each WeChat installation package. Because the application collection server provides the WeChat installation package collection service for the application store A in this embodiment. Therefore, the application identifier may make the identification of each WeChat installation package in the application store A unique. Table 1

303. The application collection server sends the m different installation packages of the WeChat to the application server a.

The application collection server may also send the installation package information to the application server a at the same time, so that the application server a selects the installation package according to the installation package information, thereby effectively generating the differential package. It should be noted that the application server a can also process the obtained m different installation packages, and obtain the installation package information as shown in Table 1, so as to facilitate the identification and selection of the installation package, thereby effectively generating the differential package.

304, application server a Receive a new version of WeChat installation package.

In particular, the new version of the WeChat installation package is usually uploaded by the application developer to the application server a of the application store A. The new version of the WeChat installation package uploaded by the application developer to the application store A may be related to other applications in the application processing system. The new version of the app store installation package is different. This embodiment assumes that the new version of the WeChat installation package uploaded by the application developer to the application store A is A2.0.

Application server a has obtained the installation package information as shown in Table 1, correspondingly, The server A can also record the installation package information of the new version installation package A2.0, as shown in Table 2, the application identifier of WeChat A2.0 is A4, and the package name is "com.tencent.weixin", the application The names are WeChat, the version number is 10, from App Store A. WeChat A1.0, B1.0, Cl.O and A2.0 have unique application identifiers in application server a, namely Al, A2, A3 and A4, so when application store A processes WeChat installation package , you can query the corresponding application ID to get the installation package.

Table 2

Application Server a Get n different old version installation packages.

The application server a may filter, among the m different installation packages, n old version installation packages whose version number is smaller than the version number of the new version installation package. In this embodiment In the new version, the version number of the installation package A2.0 is 10, which is greater than the version numbers 1, 1 and 2, respectively. Therefore, the local installation package A1.0 and the remote installation packages B1.0 and C1.0 are the old version installation packages. In this embodiment, the application server a obtains three different old version installation packages, that is, n=3.

It should be noted that, since the new version installation package is the latest update installation package in the application store A, and other application stores may have an installation package updated than the new version installation package version in the application store A, the m exists. There are cases where the version number is greater than or equal to the new version of the installation package in a different installation package. If the first installation package whose version number is greater than or equal to the new version installation package exists in the m different installation packages, the application store A does not perform differential processing on the first installation package, and waits until a new one appears in the application store A. When the new version installs the update, the version number is compared.

306. The application server a obtains n different differential packets.

The application server a can differentiate the n old version installation packages from the new version installation package to obtain n difference packets corresponding to the n old version installation packages, and the difference algorithm is the same as the prior art. This will not be repeated here. Record the information of the three different differential packets as shown in Table 3. The three different differential packets are the differential packets of A2.0 and A1.0, and the differential packets of A2.0 and B1.0, A2. The difference packets of .0 and C1.0, the identifiers of the three differential packets are XI, X2, X3, respectively. The difference packet of the differential packet identified by XI is obtained by the difference between A2.0 and A1.0, that is, The application identifier is differentiated between the installation packages of A4 and A1. Correspondingly, the differential package recorded by the application store A is described as A1->A4. Since the version number of A1.0 is 1, the version number of A2.0 is 10, so The old version number of the differential package identified as XI is 1, and the new version number is 10. It should be noted that the application server a may generate summary information for each differential packet in the digest generation algorithm pair, and the digest generation algorithm is the same as the digest generation algorithm in step 302. table 3

In particular, after the differential packet is generated, the application server a can also verify the differential packet. Specifically, the application server a merges the old version installation package and the corresponding differential package to obtain a complete installation package, and calculates the The summary information of the complete installation package is determined, and whether the summary information is completely consistent with the new version installation package, if the consistency package is completely consistent, the differential package is a valid differential package. For example, the old version installation package B 1 . 0 of the application identifier A2 is merged with the corresponding differential package with the difference identifier X2. The merge method is the same as the prior art, and the present invention will not be described again. After the combination, the new complete installation package is compared with the new version installation package A2.0 with the application identifier A4, and the summary information can be generated, and the summary information is compared with the summary information of the new version installation package A2.0. If they are completely consistent, the differential packet whose difference is identified by X2 is a valid differential packet. If there is an invalid differential packet, the generation of the differential packet can be performed again. The process of differential packet verification can reduce the generation of invalid differential packets.

307. The user equipment sends a WeChat upgrade request to the application server a. The application client of the application store A is installed on the user device, and can communicate with the application server a of the application store A. At the same time, since the application client is installed on the user equipment, the user equipment automatically scans the application installed in the user equipment when booting, and obtains application information of each application. For example, as shown in Table 4, a total of 3 applications are installed on the application device, namely Angry Birds, WeChat, and Weibo.
