Specifically, after the PC end application program receives the information that the mobile apparatus is connected to the PC, the PC end application program will detect the state of the mobile apparatus via adb.exe of Google, that is, detect whether the state of the mobile apparatus is at the transferable state. Of course, the present disclosure assumes that the mobile apparatus is at the transferable state, as discussed in above, the mobile apparatus not at the transferable state can not be adapted to the method of the present disclosure, and is impossible to transfer user resource from the PC end to the mobile apparatus end.
Here, when the mobile apparatus is connected to the PC through the USB data cable, the transferable state is required to satisfy the following two conditions: the USB debugging mode of the mobile apparatus is opened; and the mobile apparatus is already agreed with authorization. The USB debugging mode of the mobile apparatus being opened means the USB debugging mode in the setting operation or security operation in the mobile apparatus is selected, which means the USB data cable of the mobile apparatus is opened so that the mobile apparatus is able to transfer data with outer apparatus. As everyone knows, the data cable and the charging cable of the traditional mobile apparatus (e.g. smartphone) are combined into single cable, when the USB debugging mode is not opened, the phone can be charged via the charging cable; when the USB debugging mode is opened, the charging cable and the data cable can be used at the same time, that is, the phone can be charged and exchanges data with the outer apparatus at the same time. The mobile apparatus already agreed with authorization means that the mobile apparatus agrees the installation of application program from unknown resource, take the phone as an example, each mobile phone manufacturer has their application market, the mobile phone usually recognizes the installation process made by its own manufacturer when installing, so it needs user to change the setting, users usually select the application market both from unknown resource and the brand of its phone, so the phone will take that it is already agreed with authorization so that the phone can be installed with the application programs from different markets. It is needed to be pointed out that these two conditions are necessary to that the mobile apparatus is at the transferable state.
In addition, when the mobile apparatus is connected to the PC via wireless way, the transferable state is required to satisfy the following condition: the mobile apparatus is already agreed with authorization. Here, the wireless way for connecting the mobile apparatus and the PC is a protocol transferring not requiring the USB debugging mode, thus the transferable state is merely required to satisfy that the mobile apparatus is already agreed with authorization, the agreement authorization herein is described in above in detail, so it is not repeated herein.
After the PC end application program detects that the mobile apparatus is at the transferable state, information will be suggested to the PC end application program in operation to tell the user that the application program is able to be installed to the mobile apparatus. Here, the way of suggesting the information can be: a notification popped out from the visual interface of the PC end application program, or a dialog popped out from the PC end application program, of course, the information can be accompanied by an audio notification when the information is suggested so that the user still can get this information when not focusing on the PC screen, the aforementioned information form and ways for notification are parts of achieving the present disclosure, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, for attracting and guiding the user to transfer the application program from the PC end to the mobile apparatus end, the suggested information can be accompanied by some promotion activities, e.g. free to become a member, promotion page of installing step, it can be altered according to actual application program.
When the suggested information is informed to the user, the user is able to send feedback with respect to the suggested information to interactively operate his/her will and the PC end application program, for example, via mouse cursor or “on touch to install” touch operation, but the present disclosure is not limited to the ways of interactive operation. The PC end application program receiving the instruction of agreement in installing the application program to the mobile apparatus is an instruction from that the user uses the mouse cursor or“one touch to install” touch operation to be transferred to the PC end application program for the PC end application program to receive the user's agreement of installing the application program to the mobile apparatus. It is noted to be pointed out that the present disclosure is operated basing on the user's agreement of installing the application program to the mobile apparatus, as discussed in above, the disagreement in installing the application program to the mobile apparatus is not adapted to the methods of the present disclosure, and it is impossible to transfer the user resource from the PC end to the mobile apparatus end.
In the step S300, continued from the step S200, when the PC end application program receives the instruction of user's agreement in installing the application program to the mobile apparatus, a local memory in the PC will be used, an installation process of the application program previously downloaded in the memory is installed into the mobile apparatus, wherein the installation operation is performed basing on when the mobile apparatus is permitted to be installed into the application program and the user agrees to install the application program to the mobile apparatus, if the mobile apparatus is not permitted to be installed the application program or the user disagrees to install the application program to the mobile apparatus, the installation operation will not be performed. Here, the application program and the PC end application program are related, for example, the application program and the PC end application program are products in the same category, the application program and the PC end application program are products belonged to the company, but the present disclosure is not limited to the further details of the relationship. The PC will download the installation process of the application program adapted to the mobile apparatus to the downloaded file when installing the PC end application program, and will automatically download the latest version of the installation process to replace the older version of the installation process when the Office of the application program updates the version, for ensuring that the application program on the mobile apparatus is the latest version, and everybody knows that the application program in the newer version can provide better user experience than the application program in older version, that is, for ensuring that the use can has the best user experience during using the application program on the mobile apparatus.
During the entire installation process, from the mobile apparatus connected to the PC to the finish of the installation of the application program, the use is merely required to select the agreement to install the application program to the mobile apparatus for one time, so the human resource cost for transferring is low, thereby improving the user experience and preventing the transferring from failing caused by that the user might fed up with repeatedly selecting options, so the success rate in transferring the application program is improved.
