The recovery rate of smartphones has been less than 2% due to low recycling prices and chaotic recycling channels. It is conservatively estimated that there are about 1 billion second-hand mobile phones that have been eliminated, and the performance of second-hand mobile phones has been quite good since many years ago. , We provide a shared cloud computing solution based on the performance of idle second-hand phones or the excess of mobile phones.

The usual technical means is to install corresponding applications that can complete tasks on Android phones, tablets, and other electronic devices with Internet functions, such as the use of a large number of idle second-hand mobile phone resources, including CPU, GPU, and memory. , Flash, network. However, if the application installed on the device is in the form of a normal application, if you download a new application or related operations, you need to re-authorize the relevant permissions. The problem of upgrading and installing, each installation requires user participation, and this One thing is the opposite of the fact that idle mobile phones are often placed in a certain place and are not used. These problems are a great challenge to the user experience and the stability of the system. Therefore, we provide a solution based on IaaS (Infrastructure As Service). Consumers can get services from the perfect computer infrastructure through the Internet. This type of service is called infrastructure as a service. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems that require customers to re-authorize relevant permissions and require user participation for each installation, we provide a method for plug-in application, first install a main application on the Android device. A program plug-in. The first program plug-in exists as the main plug-in in the main application. The first program plug-in can manage the second program plug-in. The second program plug-in is an IaaS application used to complete a task. The form exists in the main application. Since the update of the plug-in and related operations are confirmed when the main application is installed, there is no need for the user to repeatedly grant related permissions.

For ease of understanding, the following describes the specific processes in the embodiments of the present application. Please refer to FIG. 1. An embodiment of a method for plugging in an application in the embodiments of the present application includes:

101. Install the first program plug-in to the main application;

Specifically, the first program plug-in is a main plug-in existing in the main application. During the installation of the first program plug-in, the first program plug-in and the main application can be installed at the same time, and the first program plug-in is the main plug-in, if its body When updating is required, related programs can be downloaded from the server to update the main plug-in.

102. Obtain a task from the server through the first program plug-in;

Specifically, the main plug-in will communicate with the server periodically to obtain configuration and tasks. According to the task, you can decide whether you need to notify the host to install, uninstall, start or close a plug-in. Exemplary, if an Android phone has been downloaded Youke Cloud is the main application and the relevant main plug-in is installed. The main plug-in will communicate with the server on a regular basis, and you may obtain the play cloud as a cloud node, such as a cloud disk to wait for other users to download data from the Android phone. task.

103. If a second program plug-in capable of completing the task to be executed has been installed in the main application program, use the second program plug-in to complete the task to be executed.

Specifically, the second program plug-in is a plug-in controlled by the main plug-in to complete a specific task issued by the server, and the specific task can be understood as only the update or installation of the main plug-in or the second program plug-in. Tasks that can be completed by the main plugin. During the installation of the second program plug-in, it can be downloaded in batches, mainly according to the tasks that need to be completed by the current application. For some plug-ins in the second program plug-in that have been used, if there is no related task currently executed, you can also delete it. You can also choose to keep it without affecting the task. Since the task is continuously issued, so Some of the more frequently used, such as cloud storage, other function plug-ins of cloud nodes, can also always exist in the main application when the conditions of the current task are met. For the conditions of meeting the current task, it can be understood that the server is not currently The plugin makes an update request.

When the task is obtained from the server, and the related plug-in is in the prepared state, the main plug-in or the main application will communicate with the prepared plug-in through message routing, and send specific needs to other functional plug-ins, that is, specific Program to complete the task.

In this embodiment, a first program plug-in is installed to the main application, and tasks are obtained from the server through the first program plug-in. If a second program plug-in capable of completing the task to be executed is already installed in the main application, control The second program plug-in completes the task. In the specific implementation process, some specific programs belonging to the main application complete the task, and such programs are granted permissions when the main application is installed, so you don’t need to download a program in the future. Common Android applications are re-licensed to increase deployment flexibility when using idle resources or the excess performance of Android products currently on the market.

In the embodiments of the present application, based on the embodiment of FIG. 1, for ease of understanding, a complete solution flowchart is provided. For details, please refer to FIG. 2. An embodiment of a process of plug-in application includes:

20. Overall flow chart of the plan.

Specifically, there are about three communication boards in the figure. The first one is composed of the host, namely the main application, the main plug-in and the server, the second one is composed of the host and the main plug-in, and the third one is composed of the host and other functional plug-ins.

First introduce the first communication board consisting of host, main plug-in and server:

Specifically, the host first starts the main plug-in. The main plug-in is implemented by stripping some functions of the main application into a plug-in. The main plug-in sends a request to the server to obtain the configuration and task, and accepts the return sent by the server. Configuration and tasks, according to the tasks sent by the server, and then perform other operations. Exemplarily, if the current Android device installs an application similar to the host in the figure and obtains the A task, but the current plug-in is not enough to complete the A task, the main plug-in will download other functional plug-ins that can complete the A task , Used to complete task A. When downloading the plug-in, the downloaded plug-in will be matched with the programmatic framework in the application or whether the plug-in is in the server's white list. If it matches and is in the white list, the plug-in will be downloaded. If it does not meet any of them One requirement, the plug-in will not be downloaded, and other plug-ins that can also complete the task are selected for download. According to the tasks that need to be completed by the current application, you can perform related operations on other plug-ins. Exemplarily, if a plug-in has completed a task, and the current application does not need the plug-in to complete other tasks, the plug-in can be deleted, and if there are subsequent tasks that require the plug-in, the plug-in can be downloaded, and If the server issues an update task for a certain plug-in, the main plug-in will update the plug-in. The specific update method may be to download the update package from the server for the main plug-in or directly download a new version of the plug-in.

Introduce the communication section between the second host and the main plug-in:

Specifically, the main plug-in is realized by stripping part of the functions in the main application into a plug-in. The main plug-in can be understood as a plug-in that performs some basic system maintenance work. Correspondingly, other functional plug-ins are other functions. Plug-ins are used to complete specific tasks. The host will communicate with the main plug-in regularly, query the running status of the main plug-in, and operate according to the feedback of the main plug-in. It can be understood as the maintenance and update of the application, or when the server has received the task for the main plug-in. The corresponding operation can be performed according to the task, for example, the server issues a task to update the main plug-in itself, and the main plug-in can download the update package on the server to update.

For the third host and other functional plug-ins:

Specifically, download other functional plug-ins first. When downloading the plug-in, the downloaded plug-in will be matched with the programmatic framework in the application or whether the plug-in is in the server's white list. If it matches and is in the white list, then Will download the plug-in, if it does not meet any of the requirements, it will not download the plug-in, choose to download other plug-ins that can also complete the task. Then other function plug-ins complete the corresponding tasks, and in the daily use process, regularly obtain the running status of the plug-in, according to the running status of the plug-in, the task can be assigned to the other function plug-in, or the plug-in can be deleted.

Exemplarily, after an IaaS application plug-in implements related functions according to requirements, it is packaged into a plug-in installation package and delivered to the corresponding mobile phone through the server. The main application will start to install the plug-in. The detailed installation process:

301. The main application performs md5 verification on the received plug-in installation package to confirm whether the plug-in package is complete. If it is complete, step 302 is entered, otherwise an error message is reported to the server, and the server can reissue the plug-in installation package;

302. Confirm whether the plug-in to be installed is a plug-in matching the current plug-in framework according to the plug-in installation package; if it is, install the plug-in installation package; otherwise, discard the plug-in installation package;

After the plug-in is installed, the following methods can also be included:

303. After the plugin is installed and unpacked, analyze its bytecode, xml file and other resource files;

304. Find the main service of the plug-in through intent-filter and start it;

305. Check whether the plug-in is in the plug-in whitelist configured on the server, and if not, uninstall the plug-in;

306. After starting the plug-in, register in the plug-in management. The unregistered plug-in checks the validity, how to illegally report an exception or uninstall.

For ease of understanding, the following describes the application in terms of the overall communication system. For details, see FIG. 3, an embodiment of a system for plug-in application includes:

In this application, the plug-in framework of the main application, that is, the programmatic framework, is mainly divided into two modules: a plug-in management module and a message routing module. Specifically, the plug-in management module mainly performs the tasks of installing plug-ins, updating plug-ins, uninstalling plug-ins, starting plug-ins, closing plug-ins, and plug-in state management. Message routing mainly communicates between the main plug-in or the main application and other functional plug-ins. It can be understood as a way to connect two places. When the task needs to be completed, the task request is sent to a specific plug-in and received The data returned by the plugin.

It should be pointed out that the reason why IaaS application 1, IaaS application 2 and IaaS application 3 are placed outside of plug-in management and message routing is because IaaS application 1, IaaS application 2 and IaaS application 3 change with specific tasks, It does not always need to be present in the main application.
