Detailed ways

Various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in the figures denote elements that have the same or similar functions. While various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise indicated.

The word "exemplary" is used exclusively herein to mean "serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration." Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

In addition, in order to better illustrate the present disclosure, numerous specific details are given in the following detailed description. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components and circuits well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the subject matter of the present disclosure.

In order to better understand the method in the present disclosure, the hybrid application and the CTA pop-up window are described as follows:

The app applications include Native app (native application), Web app (Web application) and Hyvridapp (hybrid application). The native application is a local application developed separately for different mobile phone systems. If you need to use it, you need to download it to the terminal and install it. Download The most common way to native apps is to visit an app store such as Apple's App Store, Android Market, Google Play, etc. The web application is a touch-screen version of the website. The web application is completely developed with web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, and is accessed through the browser of the terminal. The disadvantage is that these browser-based applications cannot call the system API to implement some advanced functions. It is also not suitable for occasions with high performance requirements. A hybrid app is an app between Native app and Web app. Although the hybrid app looks like a Native App, it is just a UI WebView, which accesses a Web App. The essence of the Hybrid App hybrid application is to forge a browser's apk/ipa native program and run a Web APP. Hybrid App has both "the advantages of a good user interaction experience of Native App" and "the advantages of WebApp cross-platform development". It can enable web developers to transform into mobile application developers at almost zero cost, and the same code can be distributed on multiple platforms only by compiling for different platforms. Compared with WebApp, developers can package The interface calls most of the commonly used system APIs.

The permissions that the CTA pop-up window needs to request includes the permission to use the Internet. Only after the user clicks the consent and authorization button in the CTA pop-up window, the application that sends the CTA pop-up window can be connected to the Internet.

Hyvrid app (hybrid application) is developed using the Hybrid platform (hybrid development platform), and the pop-up window application is a hybrid application. End users create shortcuts for hybrid applications on the MIUI desktop, and the shortcuts are displayed in the form of an icon. The shortcut provides a service interface for the corresponding hybrid application on the MIUI desktop. When the user uses the hybrid application next time, he can directly click the shortcut to obtain the direct service page of the corresponding hybrid application. And hybrid applications that do not create shortcuts on the MIUI desktop are invisible to end users. A popup application is a hybrid application that is invisible to the user and has no entry on the MIUI desktop.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for installing a desktop application according to an exemplary embodiment. The method shown in FIG. 1 includes the following steps:

Step S10, receiving an icon of an application to be installed from a requester application through a pop-up window application, where the icon of the application to be installed is downloaded from the server by the requester application according to the information of the application to be installed.

In a possible implementation manner, the pop-up window application and the application to be installed are applications generated based on the hybrid development platform. The requester application may include, but is not limited to, the security center, uninstall software, and other application services with recommended functions and networking capabilities. For example, after the user uninstalls some antivirus applications by using the uninstaller software, the uninstaller software recommends to the user an application to be installed for antivirus with better performance.

In this embodiment, the requester application downloads the icon of the application to be installed from the server according to the information of the application to be installed, and sends the icon to the pop-up window application. The pop-up window application can directly use the icon of the application to be installed from the requesting application, without using the network capability of the pop-up window application itself to download the icon. Therefore, the pop-up window application does not need to pop up the CTA pop-up window to request the end user. networking capability.

Step S20, displaying the installation request information on the desktop according to the icon of the application to be installed through the pop-up window application.

In a possible implementation manner, the installation request information includes selection buttons for confirming the installation and rejecting the installation, and also includes the icon of the application to be installed. The pop-up window application displays the received icon in the installation request information displayed on the desktop, and displays the icon of the application to be installed in the dialog box popped up by the pop-up window application, so that the user can obtain the information of the application to be installed more intuitively.

For example, the requester application is the security center, and the security center recommends the application to be installed for the user: Rising antivirus application, and the name of the rising antivirus application is Rising Antivirus. The security center downloads the icon 1 of the Rising Antivirus application from the server, and sends the icon 1 and the name of "Rising Antivirus" to the pop-up application. The pop-up window application pops up a dialog box according to the received icon 1 and the name of "Rising Antivirus". In the pop-up dialog box, it includes the text information of "recommended installation of Rising Antivirus", icon 1, and selection buttons of "confirm installation" and "reject installation". The user can select one of the selection buttons to confirm the installation of the Rising antivirus application, or to refuse the installation.

In this embodiment, the requester application sends the icon of the application to be installed to the pop-up window application, and the pop-up window application displays the installation request information on the desktop according to the received icon. The download of the icon of the application to be installed is completed by the requester application, so the pop-up window application does not need to use the networking capability to download the icon, and there is no need to pop up the CTA pop-up window to request networking, which ultimately improves the conversion success rate of the application to be installed.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing a method for installing a desktop application according to an exemplary embodiment. The method shown in Fig. 2, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, further includes:

Step S30, in response to the confirmation installation operation selected by the user according to the installation request information, sending the icon of the application to be installed to the installation control application, so that the installation control application installs the application to be installed.

In a possible implementation manner, the installation control application includes a hybrid application generated based on the Hybrid platform (hybrid development platform).

In the installation request information displayed on the desktop, a button (or other shortcut) can be used to provide the user with a choice. For example, the "Confirm Installation" and "Reject Installation" buttons are displayed. After the user selects the button to confirm the installation, the pop-up window application sends the icon of the application to be installed to the installation control application, and the installation control application processes the icon (for example, cutting the icon into a circle) and then installs it, including the application to be installed. The icon is sent to the MIUI desktop for installation.

For example, in the example in the above step S20, the pop-up dialog box of the pop-up window application includes text information of "recommended installation of Rising Antivirus", icon 1, and selection buttons of "confirm installation" and "reject installation". When the user selects the "Confirm Installation" button, the pop-up application sends the icon 1 and name of the Rising antivirus application to the installation control application. After the installation control application processes the icon 1 to cut a circle or adjust the display range, etc., it is sent to the MIUI desktop, and the MIUI desktop completes the final installation.

In this embodiment, after receiving the user's operation of confirming installation, the pop-up window application sends the icon of the application to be installed to the installation control application for installation, thereby completing the conversion of the application to be installed.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing a method for installing a desktop application according to an exemplary embodiment. The method shown in Fig. 3, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, further includes:

Step S40, in response to the user's selection of an installation rejection operation according to the installation request information, delete the icon of the application to be installed.

In the installation request information displayed on the desktop, a button (or other shortcut) can be used to provide the user with a choice. For example, the "Confirm Installation" and "Reject Installation" buttons are displayed. When the user selects the button of rejecting the installation, the pop-up window application directly deletes the icon of the application to be installed.

For example, in the example in the above step S20, when the user selects the "reject installation" button, the pop-up window application directly deletes the icon 1 and the name of the Rising antivirus application.

In this embodiment, after receiving the user's operation of rejecting the installation, the pop-up window application directly deletes the icon of the application to be installed, so as to avoid occupying the storage space of the terminal.
