The invention can be implemented by any computer device having the required processing capabilities. Typically, the invention can be implemented by a PC. For the sake of convenience, the description of the present invention is exemplified by the embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art should understand that the examples should not be construed as limiting the invention.

Specifically, the PC extracts the plug-in package identification information specified by the host from the plug-in package; then, the PC writes the extracted plug-in package identification information into the host plug-in package configuration file; then, the PC configures the signature file for the plug-in package to The configured signature file is inserted into the plugin package; then, the PC saves the plugin package inserted into the signature file to the path specified by the host.

Preferably, the solution of the present invention can be implemented by an application installed and running in a PC. Here, the application program is, for example, a java program, a script program, or the like.

The application can be entered by the developer in a command line dialog box. carried out. For example, a developer can enter the name of the application in a command line dialog and enter the plugin package under a path as a parameter. The host path can be saved, for example, in the configuration information of the application. The developer then enters the Enter command to immediately execute the application to implement the entire process of configuring the plug-in package for the host. This greatly saves the time of configuration work and solves the problem of manual configuration being error-prone.

Alternatively, the application can also have a graphical interface. Developers can execute the application by working in a graphical interface.

Here, the host may be an application (which may be simply referred to as APP) installed and running in the mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone Baidu application.

The mobile terminal includes, but is not limited to, any smart operating system-based handheld electronic product, which can perform human-computer interaction with a user through an input device such as a keyboard, a virtual keyboard, a touch pad, a touch screen, and a voice control device, such as a smart phone. , tablet, etc. Among them, the smart operating system includes, but is not limited to, any operating system that enriches device functions by providing various mobile applications to mobile devices, such as an Android operating system or the like.

Preferably, the host in the present invention runs on an Android operating system.

A plugin means an application that is integrated into the host. Plugins such as Baidu know applications, Baidu music applications, and so on. Here, plug-ins integrated in the host can implement their own unique functions, thereby enhancing the functionality and capabilities of the host.

The plugin package means the installation package of the plugin. In the Android operating system, the plugin package is usually a file with the apk extension. A plugin package can contain one or more subfiles.

After the plugin is integrated into the host, when the plugin needs to run, the host can verify that the plugin is working based on the previously configured information. For example, the host can extract the identification information of the plug-in in real time, and compare the identification information of the plug-in extracted in real time with the plug-in package identification information in the plug-in package configuration file. If the host is consistent, the host can allow the plug-in to run. For another example, the host may determine the signature information of the plug-in according to the signature file previously inserted into the plug-in package by the PC, and compare the determined signature information with the predetermined signature information. If the host is consistent, the host may allow the plug-in. run.

1 shows a method flow diagram in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, which specifically illustrates a The process of configuring a plugin package for the host. In step S1, the PC extracts the plug-in package identification information specified by the host from the plug-in package; in step S2, the PC writes the extracted plug-in package identification information into the plug-in package configuration file of the host; in step S3, the PC is a plug-in. The package configures the signature file to insert the configured signature file into the plug-in package; in step S4, the PC saves the plug-in package inserted into the signature file to the host-specified path.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that steps S1 and S2 are generally performed continuously. There is no strict order relationship between step S3 and steps S1, S2. There are various ways in which the PC performs the sequence of step S3 and steps S1 and S2. For example, the PC can perform step S3 and steps S1 and S2 simultaneously. For another example, the PC may also perform step S3 first, then perform step S1 and step S2, or perform step S1 and step S2 first, and then proceed to step S3.

Specifically, in step S1, the PC extracts the plug-in package identification information specified by the host from the plug-in package.

The plug-in package identification information includes, but is not limited to, various information for identifying a plug-in package. The plug-in package identification information is, for example, an application name (such as Baidu music), a package name (such as baiduyinyue.apk), a version number, and the like.

Here, the host-designated plug-in package identification information may include at least one of the foregoing plug-in package identification information. For example, the host-specified plug-in package identification information may include only the application name. For another example, the host specified plug-in package identification information may include an application name, a package name, and a version number.

The manifest file (manifest.xml) in the plugin package contains the plugin package identification information. For example, the PC can extract the plug-in package identification information specified by the host from the manifest file.

Preferably, the PC may extract the host-specific plug-in package identification information according to the following two sub-steps:

1) The PC can call the identification information reading tool to obtain the initial identification information of the plug-in package.

The identifier information reading tool refers to a tool provided by the smart operating system for reading the identification information of the plug-in package. The identification information reading tool can obtain the plug-in package identification information by, for example, reading a manifest file (manifest.xml) in the plug-in package. The identification information reading tool, for example, an adb tool under the Android operating system (Android Debug Bridge, Jane Called adb).

The initial identification information of the plug-in package means the identification information of the plug-in package directly obtained by the identification information reading tool. The initial identification information typically includes host-specific plug-in package identification information as well as other redundant information. In the subsequent steps, the PC needs to parse the initial identification information to obtain the plug-in package identification information specified by the host. Therefore, the initial identification information obtained needs to be parsable by the PC.

Here, preferably, the PC may call the identification information reading tool to obtain initial identification information, which is presented in a command line dialog box. Next, the PC can save the initial identification information presented in the command line dialog in a readable file to make the initial identification information resolvable.

The initial identification information presented in the command line dialog box cannot be parsed by the PC (for example, a script program in the PC), and the initial identification information saved in the PC readable file can be parsed by the PC (for example, a script program in the PC). .

Alternatively, the PC can invoke the identification information reading tool to directly obtain the resolvable initial identification information.

Here, as the function of the identification information reading tool provided by the smart operating system is upgraded, the PC should be able to directly obtain resolvable initial identification information (for example, initial identification information stored in the file) by calling the identification information reading tool.

2) The PC parses the obtained initial identification information to directly obtain the plug-in package identification information specified by the host.

Here, the host-specified plug-in package identification information is usually saved in the initial identification information in the form of a "name/value" pair.

For example, the PC may perform a search in the initial identification information according to a preset "name" string specified by the host to obtain a "value" string corresponding to the "name" string. The string representing the "value" is the plug-in package identification information specified by the host.

For example, the PC can search in the initial identification information according to the "name" string specified by the host, "package name", and the "value" string corresponding to the "name" string is the plug-in package identifier specified by the host. Information - package name.

As another example, the PC can be based on the host-specified "name" string - "version" at the initial The identifier information is searched, and the "value" string corresponding to the "name" string is the plug-in package identification information specified by the host - the version number.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing manner of extracting the plug-in package identification information specified by the host is only an example, and should not be regarded as any limitation to the present invention, any existing plug-in specified by the extraction host specified by other or future generations. The manner in which the information is identified, as applicable to the present invention, is also intended to be included within the scope of the present invention and is hereby incorporated by reference.

In step S2, the PC writes the extracted plug-in package identification information into the host's plug-in package configuration file.

Here, the host's plugin package configuration file means a file for saving plugin package identification information of the plugin package. The host's plugin package configuration file can be saved on any device, such as on a PC native and/or network device. The PC needs to have permission to perform write operations on the host's plug-in package configuration file.

For example, the PC writes the extracted plug-in package identification information such as "application name", "package name", and "version number" into the host's plug-in package configuration file.

In step S3, the PC configures a signature file for the plugin package to insert the configured signature file into the plugin package.

Here, the signature file includes, but is not limited to, various files containing signature information.

When the plug-in integrated in the host needs to run, the host can obtain the signature information according to the signature file of the plug-in, and compare the signature information with the predetermined signature information. If they are consistent, the host can allow the plugin to run. If it is inconsistent, the host does not allow the plugin to run.

Here, different plugin packages can be assigned the same signature file. Alternatively, different plugin packages can be assigned different signature files. For example, each plugin package can be assigned a signature file, such as a random code. As another example, the signature file of the plugin package can also be generated based on various signature file generation algorithms.

The way in which the PC configures the signature file for the plugin package to insert the configured signature file into the plugin package includes but is not limited to the following three types:

1) The PC can assign or generate a signature file for the plug-in package and insert the assigned or generated signature file into the plug-in package.

2) The PC can also obtain the signature file from the first signature device for the plugin package and obtain the obtained The signed signature file is inserted into the plugin package.

Wherein, the first signature device can be installed in any device. For example, the first signature device can be installed in a PC native or in a network device. The first signature device can assign or generate a signature file for the plugin package and provide it to the PC. Accordingly, the PC can obtain a signature file for the plug-in package from the first signature device, and insert the acquired signature file into the plug-in package.

Among them, the PC can obtain a unified signature file directly from the first signature device. Alternatively, the PC may also send the plug-in package or its plug-in package identification information to the first signature device. Accordingly, the first signature device can assign or generate a signature file based on the received plug-in package or its plug-in package identification information. Subsequently, the first signature device can return the generated signature file to the PC.

3) The PC may provide the plug-in package to the second signature device to configure the signature file for the plug-in package by the second signature device and insert the signature file into the plug-in package, and then the PC may receive the insertion signature from the second signature device. The plugin package for the file.

Wherein, the second signature device can be installed in any device. For example, the second signature device can be installed in a PC native or in a network device. The second signature device can assign or generate a signature file for the plugin package and insert the assigned or generated signature file into the plugin package.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing manner of configuring a signature file for a plug-in package to insert the configured signature file into the plug-in package is merely an example, and should not be considered as any limitation on the present invention, any other existing or future possibility The manner in which the signature file is configured for the plug-in package to insert the configured signature file into the plug-in package is applicable to the present invention and is also included in the scope of the present invention and is hereby incorporated by reference.

In step S4, the PC saves the plug-in package inserted into the signature file to the path specified by the host.

Here, the host-specified path is dedicated to saving the plugin package. The plugin package that inserts the signature file is saved to the host-specified path to associate the plugin package with the host. The step in which the PC saves the plug-in package that inserts the signature file to the host-specified path can also be referred to as "packaging the plug-in package."

Preferably, if the current package name of the plug-in package is consistent with the package name in the manifest file of the plug-in package, the PC may save the plug-in package inserted into the signature file to the path specified by the host.

Here, the PC can compare the current package name of the plug-in package inserted into the signature file with the package name in the manifest file (manifest.xml) of the plug-in package. If they are consistent, the PC can directly save the plug-in package inserted into the signature file. Go to the path specified by the host.

More preferably, if the current package name of the plugin package does not match the package name in the manifest file of the plugin package, the PC may also rename the current package name of the plugin package to the package name in the manifest file. Then, the PC can also save the plug-in package inserted into the signature file to the path specified by the host according to the renamed package name.

Here, the current package name of the plug-in package is consistent with the package name in the manifest file of the plug-in package, which makes the plug-in run more stable and less error-prone.

2 shows a schematic diagram of an apparatus in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, which specifically illustrates an apparatus for configuring a plug-in package for a host, that is, a configuration apparatus 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the configuration device 10 is installed in a PC, and specifically includes devices 11-14.

The device 11 extracts the host-specific plug-in package identification information from the plug-in package (for convenience of distinction, the device 11 is hereinafter referred to as the identification information extraction device 11); the device 12 writes the extracted plug-in package identification information to the host's plug-in package configuration file. (For ease of differentiation, the device 12 is hereinafter referred to as the identification information writing device 12); the device 13 configures a signature file for the plug-in package to insert the configured signature file into the plug-in package (for ease of differentiation, the device 13 is hereinafter referred to as a signature) The file configuration device 13); the device 14 saves the plug-in package inserted into the signature file to the host-specified path (for convenience of distinction, the device 14 is hereinafter referred to as the plug-in package holding device 14).

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the identification information extracting means 11 and the identification information writing means 12 are generally executed continuously. The operation performed by the signature file configuring means 13 does not have a strict order relationship with the operations performed by the identification information extracting means 11 and the identification information writing means 12, respectively. There are various ways in which the signature file configuring means 13 and the identification information extracting means 11 and the identification information writing means 12 perform the operations. For example, the signature file configuring means 13 can perform an operation simultaneously with the identification information extracting means 11. Another example is that The signature file configuring means 13 may perform an operation first, and then perform an operation by the identification information extracting means 11 and the identification information writing means 12, or the identification information extracting means 11 and the identification information writing means 12 perform an operation first, followed by a signature. The file configuration device 13 performs an operation.

Specifically, the identification information extracting means 11 extracts the plug-in package identification information specified by the host from the plug-in package.

The manifest file (manifest.xml) in the plugin package contains the plugin package identification information. The identification information extracting means 11 can extract, for example, host-specified plug-in package identification information from the manifest file.

Preferably, the identification information extracting apparatus 11 may extract the plug-in package identification information specified by the host according to the following two sub-operations:

1) The identification information extracting means 11 can call the identification information reading means to obtain the initial identification information of the plug-in package.

The identifier information reading tool refers to a tool provided by the smart operating system for reading the identification information of the plug-in package. The identification information reading tool can obtain the plug-in package identification information by, for example, reading a manifest file (manifest.xml) in the plug-in package. The identification information reading tool is, for example, an adb tool (abbreviated as adb) under the Android operating system.

The initial identification information of the plug-in package means the identification information of the plug-in package directly obtained by the identification information reading tool. The initial identification information typically includes host-specific plug-in package identification information as well as other redundant information. In the subsequent operation, the identification information extracting means 11 of the PC needs to parse the initial identification information to obtain the plug-in package identification information specified by the host. Cause Therefore, the initial identification information obtained by the identification information extraction device 11 needs to be PC-resolvable.

Here, preferably, the identification information extracting means 11 may call the identification information reading means to obtain initial identification information, which is presented in a command line dialog box. Next, the identification information extracting means 11 can store the initial identification information presented in the command line dialog box in a readable file so that the initial identification information can be parsed.

The initial identification information presented in the command line dialog box cannot be parsed by the identification information extraction device 11 of the PC (for example, a script program in the PC), and the initial identification information saved in the PC readable file can be identified by the identification information of the PC. The extraction device 11 (for example, a script program in a PC) parses.

Alternatively, the identification information extracting means 11 may call the identification information reading means to directly obtain the resolvable initial identification information.

Here, with the function upgrade of the identification information reading tool provided by the smart operating system, the identification information extraction device 11 should directly obtain the resolvable initial identification information by calling the identification information reading tool (for example, the initial stored in the file) Identification information).

2) The identification information extracting means 11 parses the obtained initial identification information to directly obtain the plug-in package identification information specified by the host.

The identification information extracting means 11 can perform a search in the initial identification information based on a "name" character string specified by the host in advance to obtain a "value" character string corresponding to the "name" character string. The string representing the "value" is the plug-in package identification information specified by the host.

For example, the identification information extracting device 11 can perform a search in the initial identification information according to the "name" string specified by the host, "package name", and the "value" string corresponding to the "name" string is designated by the host. Plugin package identification information - package name.

For another example, the identifier information extracting device 11 can perform a search in the initial identifier information according to the "name" string specified by the host, and the "value" string corresponding to the "name" string is designated by the host. Plugin package identification information - version number.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing manner of extracting the plug-in package identification information specified by the host is merely an example, and should not be regarded as any limitation on the present invention, any other existing or present. The manner in which the host-specific plug-in package identification information may be extracted as may be applicable to the present invention is also intended to be included within the scope of the present invention and is hereby incorporated by reference.

Subsequently, the identification information writing means 12 writes the extracted plug-in package identification information to the host's plug-in package configuration file.

Here, the host's plugin package configuration file means a file for saving plugin package identification information of the plugin package. The host's plugin package configuration file can be saved on any device, such as on a PC native and/or network device. The identification information writing device 12 is required to have the authority to perform a write operation on the host's plug-in package configuration file.

For example, the identification information writing device 12 writes the extracted plug-in package identification information such as "application name", "package name", "version number", etc. into the host's plug-in package configuration file.

The signature file configuration means 13 configures a signature file for the plugin package to insert the configured signature file into the plugin package.

The manner in which the signature file configuration device 13 configures the signature file for the plug-in package to insert the configured signature file into the plug-in package includes but is not limited to the following three types:

1) The signature file configuration means 13 can assign or generate a signature file for the plug-in package and insert the assigned or generated signature file into the plug-in package.

2) The signature file configuration means 13 can also obtain a signature file for the plug-in package from the first signature device and insert the acquired signature file into the plug-in package.

Wherein, the first signature device can be installed in any device. For example, the first signature device can be installed in a PC native or in a network device. The first signature device can assign or generate a signature file for the plugin package and provide it to the PC. Correspondingly, the signature text of the PC The piece configuration device 13 can acquire a signature file for the plug-in package from the first signature device, and insert the acquired signature file into the plug-in package.

The signature file configuration device 13 can obtain a unified signature file directly from the first signature device. Alternatively, the signature file configuration device 13 may also transmit the plug-in package or its plug-in package identification information to the first signature device. Accordingly, the first signature device can assign or generate a signature file based on the received plug-in package or its plug-in package identification information. Subsequently, the first signature device can return the generated signature file to the PC.

3) The signature file configuration means 13 may provide the plug-in package to the second signature device, to configure the signature file for the plug-in package by the second signature device and insert the signature file into the plug-in package, and then the signature file configuration device 13 may A plug-in package that inserts a signature file is received from the second signature device.

Subsequently, the plug-in package holding means 14 saves the plug-in package inserted into the signature file to the path specified by the host.

Here, the host-specified path is dedicated to saving the plugin package. The plugin package that inserts the signature file is saved to the host-specified path to associate the plugin package with the host. The plug-in package holding means 14 saves the plug-in package inserting the signature file to the host-specified path. The operation can also be referred to as "packaging the plug-in package".

Preferably, if the current package name of the plugin package matches the package name in the manifest file of the plugin package, the plugin package holding device 14 may save the plugin package inserted into the signature file to the path specified by the host.

Here, the plug-in package holding device 14 can compare the current package name of the plug-in package inserted into the signature file with the package name in the manifest file (manifest.xml) of the plug-in package, and if they are consistent, the plug-in package holding device 14 can directly Save the plugin package that inserted the signature file to the path specified by the host.

More preferably, if the current package name of the plug-in package does not match the package name in the manifest file of the plug-in package, the plug-in package saving device 14 may also rename the current package name of the plug-in package to the package name in the manifest file. Next, the plug-in package holding device 14 can also save the plug-in package inserted into the signature file to the path specified by the host according to the renamed package name.
