Patent Application
20210326151
The present disclosure relates to terminal application technologies, and more particularly relates to a method, device and computer-readable storage medium for processing a hosted application.
With the development of communication technologies, a terminal is integrated with more and more functions, and more and more corresponding applications (APPs) are contained in a list of system functions of the terminal. Some applications (which may be referred to as host applications) can provide some specific services from other applications (which may be referred to as hosted applications), for example specific services provided by a variety of applets such as a Mobike applet, a credit card applet in WeChat APP etc. The hosted application may be utilized without being installed and may implement corresponding functions. The range of the specific services of the hosted applications provided by the host application is less than or equal to those provided by independent applications which can operate independently and correspond to the hosted applications.
However, since the hosted applications provided in the host application completely depend on the host application, these hosted applications can only operate in the host application, which reduces the reliability of the operation of the hosted applications.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, device and computer-readable storage medium for processing a hosted application to improve the reliability of the operation of the hosted application.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing a hosted application. The method includes:
obtaining a user's user operation on a terminal which is based on a first application;
obtaining an executable file for a hosted application of a second application and application information of the second application according to the user operation;
executing the executable file for the hosted application with the application information of the second application.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device. The device includes:
one or more processors; and
a storage means for storing one or more programs, and the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement the method for processing a hosted application as provided in one of the above embodiments.
Yet another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer programs thereon, and the programs, when executed by a processor, implement the method for processing a hosted application as provided in one of the above embodiments.
It can be seen from the above embodiments of the present disclosure obtain a user's user operation on a terminal which is based on a first application, and in turn obtain an executable file for a hosted application of a second application and application information of the second application according to the user operation, and to execute the executable file for the hosted application with the application information of the second application. Since the hosted application of the second application does not depend on its host application (i.e., the second application) anymore, the hosted application can operate in any other third-party application (i.e., the first application) independently of its host application, which improves the reliability of the operation of the hosted application.
In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure is able to break the dependence of the hosted application on a single host application, so that the hosted application can be easily applied to any other third-party application (i.e., the first application) without requiring the host application (i.e., the second application) which provides the hosted application to be installed on the terminal, which extends the range of operation of the hosted application.
In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to break the dependence of the hosted application on a single host application, so that the hosted application can be transplanted and easily applied to any other third-party application (i.e., the first application), which extends the range of operation of the hosted application.
In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to enhance user experience effectively.
Embodiments of the present disclosure are described more clearly, drawings required to be used in the descriptions of embodiments or in the prior art will be briefly introduced below. The drawings described below are some embodiments of the present disclosure.
Embodiments of the present disclosure are made clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure below. The described embodiments are a part of embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all the embodiments.
It should be noted that the terminal involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include but is not limit to: a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a hand-held wireless device, a tablet computer, a personal computer (PC), an MP3 player, an MP4 player, a wearable device such as smart glasses, a smart watch, a smart wristband, etc.
In addition, the term “and/or” herein only refers to an association relationship which describes associated objects, and represents that there may be three relationships. For example, A and/or B may represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, or B exists alone. In addition, the character “/” in this document generally represents that the associated objects before and after the character are in an “or” relationship.
at 101, a user's user operation on a terminal which is based on a first application is obtained.
At this time, the operating system of a terminal is running the first application. The so-called running means that the operating system of the terminal is run by a window in the foreground.
At 102, an executable file for a hosted application of a second application and application information of the second application are obtained according to the user operation.
The so-called second application refers to a host application which provides the hosted application, such as WeChat application, QQ application, etc.
The application information of the second application refers to some information related to the operation of the second application used to execute the executable file of the hosted application, such as registration and login information, application management information, etc.
At 103, the executable file for the hosted application is executed with the application information of the second application.
It should be noted that the executing entity for part or all of steps 101 to 103 may be the first application located on the terminal, a functional unit set in the first application located on the terminal such as a plug-in or a software development kit (SDK), a hosted application platform located in a network server, or a distributed system located on the network side, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
It should be noted that the first application may be a native application (nativeApp) installed on the terminal, or may be a webpage application (webApp) of a browser on the terminal, which is not limited in the embodiment. The second application may be a native application (nativeApp) installed on the terminal, or may be an application which is not installed on the terminal, or may be a webpage application (webApp) of a browser on the terminal, which is not limited in the embodiment. For example, the second application may be a social networking service (SNS) application, an instant messaging (IM) application, etc. installed on the terminal. The type of the second application is not limited in the embodiment. The hosted application may be a native application (i.e., an applet) which is not required to be installed on the terminal and is triggered to operate by a user of the second application, and may be referred to as a hosted application.
A main idea of the present application lies in that: a third-party application (i.e., the first application) can execute the executable file for the hosted application directly with the application information of the second application without invoking the host application corresponding to the hosted application (i.e., the second application).
In this way, a user's user operation on a terminal which is based on a first application is obtained, and in turn an executable file for a hosted application of a second application and application information of the second application is obtained according to the user operation, and to execute the executable file for the hosted application with the application information of the second application. Since the hosted application of the second application no longer depends on its host application (i.e., the second application), the hosted application is operable in any other third-party application (i.e., the first application) independently of its host application, which improves the reliability of the operation of the hosted application.
In one embodiment, the hosted application may be operated directly by means of a page jump in an application. In one embodiment, the hosted application may be operated by means of a page jump between applications, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
For page jump in an application, the application function identification information of the hosted application may be in a form of an application interface, such as an appid interface, etc.
For page jump between applications, the application function identification information of the hosted application may be in a form of a page jump protocol in IOS system or Android system, for example, in a form of a uniform resource locator (URL) scheme protocol such as ServiceAPP://appbrand/appid, and the ServiceAPP represents the scheme protocol of the first application. In one embodiment, the application function identification information of the hosted application may also be in a form of a system interface in Android system, for example, in a form of an intent object interface and a bundle object interface, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
In a specific implementation, the application function identification information of the hosted application may include but is not limited to application identification information of the hosted application, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment. At this time, the application function identification information of the hosted application may indicate to operate the hosted application in the first application to open a default page of the hosted application such as a home page of an applet.
The application identification information of the hosted application may include but is not limited to a brand of the hosted application (appbrand) and an identifier of the hosted application (appid), which is not specifically limited in the embodiment. The brand of the hosted application (appbrand) is used to indicate functions of the hosted application. The identifier of the hosted application (appid) is used to indicate the hosted application.
As an example, the application identification information of the hosted application may be ServiceAPP://appbrand/appid, etc.
In another specific implementation, the application function identification information of the hosted application may include the application identification information of the hosted application and the page identification information (page) of the hosted application. At this time, the application function identification information of the hosted application may indicate to operate the hosted application in the first application to open a designated page of the hosted application, i.e., an applet page identified by the page identification information (page), etc.
The application identification information of the hosted application may include but is not limited to a brand of the hosted application (appbrand) and an identifier of the hosted application (appid), which is not specifically limited in the embodiment. The brand of the hosted application (appbrand) is used to indicate functions of the hosted application. The identifier of the hosted application (appid) is used to indicate the hosted application.
As an example, the application identification information of the hosted application may be ServiceAPP://appbrand/appid, etc.
As another example, the application function identification information of the hosted application may be ServiceAPP://appbrand/appid/page.
On the basis of the above two specific implementations, the application function identification information of the hosted application may further include parameter information required by the application function. At this time, the parameter information required by the application function may indicate some parameters required when the hosted application of the second application is operating in the first application. As an example, a starting point and an ending point of a query are required when a map applet in the WeChat application is operating in the DianPing application for route planning. In one embodiment, as another example, a departure date and a return date are required when a flight ticket applet in the WeChat application is operating in the DianPing application for trip planning, and so on.
In one embodiment, specifically in 102, the application function identification information of the hosted application may be obtained according to the user operation, and in turn, the executable file for the hosted application and the application information of the second application may be obtained according to the application function identification information of the hosted application.
In one embodiment, an invoking instruction for the hosted application which is triggered by the user based on the user operation from the first application may be obtained, and in turn, the application function identification information of the hosted application may be obtained according to the invoking instruction.
In a specific implementation, the instruction for invoking the hosted application triggered by the user's user operation which is based on an icon of the hosted application outputted by the first application may be obtained.
In this implementation, the instruction for invoking the hosted application triggered by the user's user operation which is based on the icon of the hosted application may be further obtained after the first application outputs the icon of the hosted application.
The user operation includes operation gestures. The operation gestures may include but are not limited to at least one of the following operation gestures:
an operation gesture of the user operating on the icon of the hosted application;
an operation gesture of the user hovering on the page where the icon of the hosted application is located;
an operation gesture of the user touching the page where the icon of the hosted application is located; and
the user carrying the terminal with a motion that produces a motion trend when the page where the icon of the hosted application is located is displayed.
The operation gesture of the user operating on the icon of the hosted application may refer to a user operation such as a click operation on the icon of the hosted application displayed on a display device of the terminal. This so-called click operation may be a trigger operation performed by the user with an external input device such as a mouse or a keyboard to control a cursor, or a touch operation performed by the user with a touch input device such as a finger or a stylus, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
The operation gesture of the user hovering on the page where the icon of the hosted application is located may refer to the user hovering and sliding with a track on the page displayed on the display device of the terminal where the icon of the hosted application is located within a collection range of an image sensor of the terminal. The image sensor may be a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor, or a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment. The track accompanied with the hovering and sliding may include but is not limited to a straight line or a curve of any shape composed of several hold points corresponding to several continuous sliding events, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
The operation gesture of the user touching the page where the icon of the hosted application is located may refer to the user touching and sliding with a track on the page displayed on the display device of the terminal where the icon of the hosted application is located. Generally, terminals may be divided into two types based on whether the display device is touch-sensitive, one is a touch-sensitive terminal, and the other is a non-touch-sensitive terminal. In one embodiment, an operation gesture of the user touching the page displayed on the touch screen of the touch-sensitive terminal where the icon of the hosted application is located may be detected. The track accompanied with the touching and sliding may include but is not limited to a straight line or a curve of any shape composed of several touch points corresponding to several continuous touch events, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment. For example, the operation gesture may be an operation gesture of the user long pressing in the middle area of the page where the icon of the hosted application is located.
The motion trend of the terminal driven by the motion of the user based on the page where the icon of the hosted application is located may refer to a motion track of the terminal driven by the motion of the user (such as shaking, flipping, etc.) while the user is holding the terminal when the page where the icon of the hosted application is displayed on the display device of the terminal,
In one embodiment, a sensor device may be utilized to detect the operation gesture of the user on the page where the icon of the hosted application is located. In one embodiment, the sensor device may include but is not limited to at least one of a gravity sensor, an acceleration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, a distance sensor and an image sensor, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
The distance sensor may be an ultrasonic distance sensor, an infrared distance sensor, a laser distance sensor or a microwave distance sensor, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment. These distance sensors are all existing mature techniques, and the detailed descriptions may be made reference to related contents in the prior art, which will not be repeated here.
The image sensor may be a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor, or a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
In one embodiment, detecting the operation gesture of the user on the page where the icon of the hosted application is located may refer to detecting the starting point, the ending point, and the track formed from the starting point to the ending point for the operation gesture of the user on the page where the icon of the hosted application is located, or may also refer to detecting radian data corresponding to the track.
In order to realize the above functions, designated operations may further be preset. Only when the obtained user operation matches the preset designated operation, the instruction for invoking the hosted application may be triggered according to the obtained user operation which is based on the icon of the hosted application.
In an example where the obtained user operation includes the operation gesture, after the operation gesture of the user which is based on the icon of the hosted application is obtained, the operation gesture may be compared with a preset designated gesture. The instruction for invoking the hosted application may be triggered only when the obtained operation gesture matches the preset designated gesture.
In specific, data on the designated gestures may be stored in a storage device of the terminal.
As an example, the storage device of the terminal may be a slow storage device. In specific, the storage device may be a hard disk of a computer system, or a non-operational memory (i.e., a physical memory) of a mobile phone, such as a read-only memory (ROM) and a memory card, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
In one embodiment, the storage device of the terminal may also be a fast storage device. The storage device may specifically be a memory of a computer system, or an operational memory (i.e., a system memory) of a mobile phone, such as a random access memory (RAM), etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.
In one embodiment, the obtained executable file for the hosted application and the application information of the second application may be encapsulated in an SDK of the hosted application, so that the hosted application may be operated by executing the SDK of the hosted application.
In one embodiment, the executable file for the hosted application and the application information of the second application may be obtained from the first application according to the application function identification information of the hosted application.
In one embodiment, the executable file for the hosted application and the application information of the second application may be obtained from an application server for the second application according to the application function identification information of the hosted application.
After the executable file for the hosted application and the application information of the second application are obtained, in order to improve the execution efficiency for the next execution of the executable file for the hosted application next time, the executable file for the hosted application and the application information of the second application may be further stored in the first application, so that the executable file for the hosted application and the application information of the second application is obtained directly from the first application according to the application function identification information of the hosted application.
In one embodiment, specifically in 103, the application information of the second application may be provided to the hosted application which is launched after the executable file for the hosted application is executed, so that the hosted application may be operated normally with a user account of the user.
The embodiments obtain a user's user operation on a terminal which is based on a first application, and in turn obtain an executable file for a hosted application of a second application and application information of the second application according to the user operation, and to execute the executable file for the hosted application with the application information of the second application. Since the hosted application of the second application no longer depends on its host application (i.e., the second application), the hosted application is operable in any other third-party application (i.e., the first application) independently of its host application, which improves the reliability of the operation of the hosted application.
In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to break the dependence of the hosted application on a single host application, so that the hosted application can be easily applied to any other third-party application (i.e., the first application) without requiring the host application (i.e., the second application) which provides the hosted application to be installed on the terminal, which extends the range of operation of the hosted application.
In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to break the dependence of the hosted application on a single host application, so that the hosted application can be transplanted and easily applied to any other third-party application (i.e., the first application), which extends the range of operation of the hosted application.
In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to enhance user experience effectively.
