Patent Application
20210075851
The present application relates to Internet technologies, and in particular, to an application partition processing method, a device, and a computer-readable storage medium.
With the development of communication technologies, a terminal integrates increasing functions, so that a system function list of the terminal includes more corresponding applications (APPs), such as game applications. To prevent application servers from crashing due to a large amount of user access to an application, and improve an access speed of the user access to the application, users of the application may be randomly divided into different application partitions, or the users actively select an application partition. An application server corresponding to each application partition provides application services for users of the application partition, to allow the users access the application.
However, due to the randomness of the existing application partitioning, in some cases, for example, most users select the same application partition. Consequently, the purpose of the application partitions may not be achieved, resulting in a decrease in the reliability of the application partitions.
A plurality of aspects of the present application provide an application partition processing method, a device, a computer-readable storage medium, to improve the reliability of application partitions.
According to an aspect of the present application, an application partition processing method is provided, including:
obtaining, by an application component, location information of a user from a first application;
obtaining, by the application component, an application partition of the user in a second application according to the location information of the user; and
associating, by the application component, the user to the application partition.
According to another aspect of the present application, a device is provided, including:
one or more processors; and
a storage apparatus, configured to store one or more programs,
where the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the application partition processing method according to the foregoing aspect.
According to another aspect of the present application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, storing a computer program, where the application partition processing method according to the foregoing aspect is performed when the program is executed by a processor.
It may be learned from the foregoing technical solutions that in the embodiments of the present application, an application component obtains location information of a user from a first application, and then obtains an application partition of the user in a second application according to the location information of the user, so that the application component may associate the user to the application partition, thereby implementing the application partition of the user.
In addition, by using the technical solutions provided in the present application, the application component and the second application are independent of each other, so that the application component is portable and may be conveniently applied to the second application, thereby improving the universality of running of the application component.
In addition, by using the technical solutions provided in the present application, the application component and the second application are independent of each other, so that the application component can implement application partitions of users for different second applications, and it is unnecessary to configure an application component independently for each second application, thereby effectively reducing development costs of the second application.
In addition, by using the technical solutions provided in the present application, the application component and the second application are independent of each other, so that the application component can implement application partitions of users for different second applications, set different application partitioning methods for different second applications, and guide user traffic into the application partitions.
In addition, by using the technical solutions provided in the present application, users are allocated to different application partitions, so that the users obtain better user experience. For example, offline interaction relationships are transplanted to online interactions (people familiar with each other in the same place can play games together). Alternatively, in another example, offline interactions are developed through online geographic relevance (nearby people unfamiliar with each other may communicate offline by playing games), to enhance online and offline social experience of the users, and improve user experience of games or applications having social and multi-person interaction attributes, such as board games, and team battle games.
To describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application more clearly, the following briefly describes accompanying drawings required for describing the embodiments or the existing technology. Apparently, the accompanying drawings in the following description show some embodiments of the present application, and a person of ordinary skill in the art may still derive other drawings from these accompanying drawings without creative efforts.
To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present application rather than all of the embodiments.
All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
It should be noted that, a terminal in the embodiments of the present application may include, but is not limited to a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless handheld device, a tablet computer, a personal computer (PC), a MP3 player, a MP4 player, a wearable device (for example, smart glasses, a smart watch, a smart band) or the like.
In addition, the term “and/or” in this specification describes only an association relationship for describing associated objects and represents that three relationships may exist. For example, A and/or B may represent the following three cases: only A exists, both A and B exist, and only B exists. In addition, the character “/” in this specification generally indicates an “or” relationship between the associated objects.
101: An application component obtains location information of a user from a first application.
102: The application component obtains an application partition of the user in a second application according to the location information of the user.
The second application is generally an application in which application partitions need to be set, such as a game application, or another application having interactive and social attributes. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
103: The application component associates the user to the application partition.
It should be noted that 101 to 103 may be all or partly executed by an application located on a local terminal, or a function unit such as a plug-in or a software development kit (KIT), or the like located in the application of the local terminal, or a partition platform located in a server on a network side, or a distributed system located on the network side. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
It may be understood that an application in the local terminal may be a native app installed on the terminal, or may be a web app in a browser on the terminal. This is not limited in this embodiment.
In this way, the application component obtains the location information of the user from the first application, and then obtains the application partition of the user in the second application according to the location information of the user, so that the application component may associate the user to the application partition, thereby implementing the application partition of the user.
In the present application, the application component is independent of the second application, or may be integrated with the second application. This is not limited in this embodiment.
In the present application, the first application and the second application are simultaneously loaded in the terminal. The first application may be independent of the second application, or may be integrated with the second application, or may be a host application such as a WeChat application. Correspondingly, the second application may be a hosted application hosted in the first application. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
Optionally, in a possible implementation of this embodiment, the first application and the second application may be two associated applications having an association relationship.
In a specific implementation process, the first application and the second application may share user information. For example, for a target user A, if an account of the user in the first application is userA, the user may directly log in to the second application through userA.
In another specific implementation process, user information in the first application and the second application may be associated with each other. For example, for a target user B, if an account of the user in the first application is userB, the user may directly log in to the second application through userB′ associated with userB.
In another specific implementation process, the first application may specifically obtain an invoking instruction triggered by the user for the second application, so that the first application may trigger running of the second application according to the invoking instruction.
In the implementation process, the first application, after outputting an icon of the second application, may further obtain the invoking instruction, which is triggered by the user based on an operation on the icon of the second application, for the second application.
The operation includes an operation gesture. The operation gesture may include, but is not limited to at least one of the following operation gestures:
an operation gesture of the user on the icon of the second application;
a hover operation gesture of the user above a page where the icon of the second application is located;
a contact operation gesture of the user on the page where the icon of the second application is located; and
a motion trend of driving a terminal by the user based on the page where the icon of the second application is located.
The operation gesture of the user on the icon of the second application may refer to a user operation of, for example, clicking the icon of the second application displayed by a display apparatus of an operation terminal. The clicking operation may be a trigger operation performed by the user by controlling a cursor with an external input device such as a mouse or keyboard, or may be a touch operation performed by the user by touching an input device with a finger or a stylus. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
The hover operation gesture of the user above the page where the icon of the second application is located may refer to a hover sliding track, which is above the page where the icon of the second application is located displayed by a display apparatus of a terminal, of the user within a capture range of an image sensor of the terminal. The image sensor may be a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor, or may be a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment. The hover sliding track may include, but is not limited to, a straight line or a curve in any shape formed by a plurality of stay points corresponding to a plurality of continuous sliding events. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
The contact operation gesture of the user on the page where the icon of the second application is located may refer to a contact sliding track of the user on the page where the icon of the second application is located displayed by a display apparatus of a terminal. Generally, a terminal may be classified as a touch terminal or a non-touch terminal according to whether a display apparatus has a touch feature. Specifically, a contact operation gesture of the user on the page where the icon of the second application is located displayed by a touchscreen of a touch terminal may be specifically detected. The contact sliding track may include, but is not limited to a straight line or a curve in any shape formed by a plurality of touch points corresponding to a plurality of continuous touch events. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment. For example, the contact sliding gesture may be a long-press operation gesture of the user in a middle region of the page where the icon of the second application is located.
The motion trend of driving a terminal by the user based on the page where the icon of the second application is located may refer to a motion track, such as a shaking track or a flipping track, of driving the terminal by the user with a hand when a display apparatus of the terminal displays the page where the icon of the second application is located.
In the implementation process, the operation gesture of the user on the page where the icon of the second application is located may be specifically detected by using a sensor device. Specifically, the sensor device may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a gravity sensor, an acceleration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, a distance sensor, and an image sensor. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
The distance sensor may be an ultrasonic distance sensor, an infrared distance sensor, a laser distance sensor, or a microwave distance sensor. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment. The distance sensors belong to existing mature technologies. For detailed description, refer to the related content in the related art. Details are not described herein again.
The image sensor may be a CCD sensor, or may be a CMOS sensor. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
Specifically, detecting the operation gesture of the user on the page where the icon of the second application is located may specifically refer detecting a starting point, an ending point, and a track from the starting point to the ending point of the operation gesture of the user on the page where the icon of the second application is located; alternatively, orphan data corresponding to the track may be further detected.
To implement the foregoing functions, a specified operation may be further preset. The invoking instruction for the second application may be triggered according to the operation of the user based on the icon of the second application only when an obtained operation meets the preset specified operation.
For example, the obtained operation includes an operation gesture. After the operation gesture of the user based on the page where the icon of the second application is located is obtained, the operation gesture may be compared with the preset specified gesture. The invoking instruction for the second application may be triggered only when the obtained operation gesture meets the preset specified gesture.
Specifically, data of the specified gesture may be stored in a storage device of the terminal.
For example, the storage device of the terminal may be a low-speed storage device, and may be specifically a hard disk of a computer system, or a non-operational internal memory, that is, a physical memory, of a mobile phone, such as a read-only memory (ROM) and an internal memory card. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
Alternatively, in another example, the storage device of the terminal may be a fast storage device, and may be specifically an internal memory of a computer system, or an operational internal memory, that is, a system internal memory, of a mobile phone, such as a random access memory (RAM). This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
Optionally, in a possible implementation of this embodiment, before 101, the first application may further obtain wireless access point information of a wireless access point to which a terminal is connected, where the first application is located at the terminal, so that the first application may obtain location information of the wireless access point based on the wireless access point information. Then, the first application may provide the location information of the wireless access point to the application component, so that the application component determines the location information of the user according to the location information of the wireless access point.
In the implementation, the wireless access point connected to the terminal may be an open wireless access point that does not require connection information, or may be a wireless access point that requires connection information. Specifically, the first application may provide the connection information to the terminal, or the connection information may be inputted by the user. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
For example, the first application is a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) application such as a Wi-Fi master key. The first application (which may include a client of the application and/or a corresponding server) may provide connection information, such as a password, of a connectable wireless access point to the terminal where the first application is located. The user of the terminal may select a to-be-connected wireless access point from a wireless access point list provided by an operating system or a wireless access point list provided by the first application, so that the terminal accesses a wireless local area network through the wireless access point by using the connection information of the wireless access point provided by the first application.
For the open wireless access point that does not require connection information, the user of the terminal may select a to-be-connected wireless access point from a wireless access point list provided by an operating system or a wireless access point list provided by the first application, and then directly access a wireless local area network through the wireless access point.
The wireless access point information of the wireless access point may include, but is not limited to, one of the following pieces of information:
a name of a wireless access point, such as a service set identifier (SSID), in a Wi-Fi network;
a name of a wireless access point and a signal intensity of the wireless access point;
a name of a wireless access point and a historical connection success rate of the wireless access point; or
a name of a wireless access point, a signal intensity of the wireless access point, and a historical connection success rate of the wireless access point.
In the implementation, after obtaining the wireless access point information of the wireless access point connected to the terminal where the first application is located, the first application may further send a positioning request to a positioning platform according to the wireless access point information to obtain the location information of the wireless access point.
In a specific implementation process, the application component may specifically use the location information of the wireless access point as the location information of the user.
In another specific implementation process, the application component may specifically perform location calculation processing according to the location information of the wireless access point and location information of other wireless access points detected by the terminal where the application component is located, to obtain the location information of the user.
Optionally, in a possible implementation in this embodiment, before 101, the first application may further obtain location information of the terminal where the first application is located, so that the first application may provide the location information of the terminal to the application component, and the application component determines the location information of the user according to the location information of the terminal.
In a specific implementation process, the terminal may obtain geographic location data of the terminal by specifically using a positioning technology such as a global positioning system (GPS) positioning technology, a Wi-Fi positioning technology, a base positioning technology, or a sensor positioning technology. Therefore, the terminal may provide the obtained location information of the terminal to the first application. The first application may further provide the location information of the terminal to the application component.
In this way, the application component may directly use the location information of the terminal as the location information of the user.
Optionally, in a possible implementation of this embodiment, in 102, the application component may specifically determine whether a location corresponding to the location information of the user belongs to an application partition existing in the second application.
If the location corresponding to the location information of the user does not belong to any application partition existing in the second application, the application component may create a new application partition in the second application as the application partition of the user in the second application according to the location information of the user.
Specifically, the application component may specifically create a new application partition based on the location information of the user. For example, with the location information of the user as a center, the new application partition may be a region based on a preset region range, such as a circular region with a radius of N (N is a value greater than 0), or a rectangular region with a diagonal of M (M is a value greater than 0).
If the location corresponding to the location information of the user belongs to an application partition existing in the second application, the application component may obtain an application partition existing in the second application as the application partition of the user in the second application through matching according to the location information of the user.
In a specific implementation process, if the application component determines, according to the location information of the user, an application partition existing in the second application, the application component may directly use the application partition as the application partition of the user in the second application.
In another specific implementation process, if the application component determines, according to the location information of the user, that two or more application partitions existing in the second application covering the location information of the user, the application component may further obtain an application partition as the application partition of the user in the second application through matching according to a current density of each application partition in the at least two application partitions.
The current density of the application partition refers to a user density in a region of the application partition, for example, a player density in an application lobby of a game application.
For example, if the application component determines, according to the location information of the user, two application partitions existing in the second application, namely, an application partition A and an application partition B, the application component may select a suitable application partition as the application partition of the user in the second application according to a current density of the application partition A, a current density of the application partition B, and a preset density threshold. The density threshold may include, but is not limited to, at least one of an upper limit threshold and a lower limit threshold. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
It may be understood that the application component may set or adjust the density threshold of the application partition of the second application according to application information of the second application, for example, an application type of the second application, and customized requirement configuration information of the second application. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
If neither the current density of the application partition A nor the current density of the application partition B exceeds the preset upper limit threshold, the application component may select an application partition with a smaller current density as the application partition of the user in the second application.
If the current density of one application partition, such as the application partition A, exceeds the preset upper limit threshold, the application component may select another application partition, such as the application partition B, as the application partition of the user in the second application.
As the number of users gradually increases, densities of some application partitions may be excessively high, resulting in an excessively large amount of user access to application servers deployed in such application partitions, or even possibly resulting in crashes of the application servers. In this case, the application component may further adjust coverage ranges of the application partition and other application partitions in the second application according to a preset density threshold of an application partition. The density threshold may include, but is not limited to, at least one of an upper limit threshold and a lower limit threshold. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
In this way, a user quantity of each application partition is controlled by adjusting the coverage ranges of the application partitions. This may effectively improve the reliability of the application server.
It may be understood that the application component may set or adjust the density threshold of the application partition of the second application according to application information of the second application, for example, an application type of the second application, and customized requirement configuration information of the second application. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
In a specific implementation process, if a current density of an application partition is greater than or equal to the preset upper limit threshold of the application partition, the application component may expand the coverage range of the application partition to achieve a suitable partition density.
In another specific implementation process, if a current density of an application partition identity is less than or equal to the preset lower limit threshold of the application partition, the application component may reduce the coverage range of the application partition to achieve a suitable partition density.
In this embodiment, the application component obtains the location information of the user from the first application, and then obtains the application partition of the user in the second application according to the location information of the user, so that the application component may associate the user to the application partition, thereby implementing the application partition of the user.
In addition, by using the technical solutions provided in the present application, the application component and the second application are independent of each other, so that the application component is portable and may be conveniently applied to the second application, thereby improving the universality of running of the application component.
In addition, by using the technical solutions provided in the present application, the application component and the second application are independent of each other, so that the application component can implement application partitions of users for different second applications, and it is unnecessary to configure an application component independently for each second application, thereby effectively reducing development costs of the second application.
In addition, by using the technical solutions provided in the present application, the application component and the second application are independent of each other, so that the application component can implement application partitions of users for different second applications, set different application partitioning methods for different second applications, and guide user traffic into the application partitions.
In addition, by using the technical solutions provided in the present application, users are allocated to different application partitions, so that the users obtain better user experience. For example, offline interaction relationships are transplanted to online interactions (people familiar with each other in the same place can play games together). Alternatively, in another example, offline interactions are developed through online geographic relevance (nearby people unfamiliar with each other may communicate offline by playing games), to enhance online and offline social experience of the users, and improve user experience of games or applications having social and multi-person interaction attributes, such as board games, and team battle games.
