The embodiments of the present application will be described from the perspective of an application update reminder device, and the application update reminder device may specifically be integrated in a server.

Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of an application update reminder method provided by an embodiment. The specific process of the application update reminder method is as follows:

S101: Acquire usage information of multiple applications on an electronic device, where the usage information includes the number of startup times and startup days of the applications within a preset time period.

The application on the electronic device refers to the application program installed on the electronic device; for example, the social application program installed on the electronic device and so on.

There are various ways to acquire the usage information of the application, for example, the usage information of the application can be acquired from an electronic device. For another example, the electronic device regularly reports the usage information of the application to the server, and saves it on the server. At this time, the server can extract the usage information of the application from the local storage.

It can be understood that the electronic device in this embodiment may be a smart phone, a personal computer, a tablet computer, etc., and the multiple applications installed on the electronic device may specifically be a music player, a video player, a browser, and a game, etc. Wait.

The usage information may include activation times, activation days, and the like.

The number of startups may be the cumulative number of startups of the application within a preset time period. For example, the cumulative number of times the application was opened in a day. The preset time period can be set according to actual needs, for example, 5 days, 10 days, or 20 days, and so on.

The startup days may be the number of days that the application is opened within the preset time period; for example, taking the preset time period as 5 days as an example, the startup days refers to the number of days the application is started within the 5 days.

For example, the number of times the application is opened on the first day is 5 times, the number of times the application is opened on the second day is 8 times, the number of times the application is opened on the third day is 10 times, and the number of times the application is opened on the fourth day is 12 times. The number of times the app was opened on the fifth day was 0. Then the number of times the application is launched in the 5 days is 35 times, and the number of days to start is 4 days.

S102, at least one application to be updated is determined from the multiple applications.

The application to be updated is an application requiring an updated version.

In one embodiment, the application to be updated can be determined by comparing the version information. For example, the current version information of the application on the electronic device and the version information of the application in the application storage server can be obtained, and the two version information can be compared. If not, it is determined that the application is an application to be updated.

It is understandable that users will install many applications on electronic devices, such as maps, games, readers, and so on. Every app will release a new version every once in a while for users to use. Generally speaking, the new version will update many functions, fix bugs and so on.

For example, the version number of an application is 5.0, and the version number of the application in the application storage server is 5.1. Compared with version 5.0, version 5.1 updates the functions of the application, and fixes the loopholes existing in version 5.0, etc.

However, because the manufacturers of each application are different, the update time is not necessarily the same. So every update reminder, there may be multiple, there may be only one, or there may be none.

S103 , sort at least one of the applications to be updated according to the startup times and the startup days of the applications to be updated, and obtain a sorting result.

Wherein, the step of "sorting at least one of the applications to be updated according to the number of times and days of starting the application to be updated, and obtaining a sorting result" may specifically include steps (a) and (b), as follows:

(a) Obtaining the sorting parameter of the application to be updated according to the number of times and the number of days of starting the application to be updated.

It can be understood that, when multiple applications are updated simultaneously in the electronic device, sorting parameters need to be obtained according to the number of times and days of starting these applications by the user, and then personalized notification is performed according to the sorting parameters.

In the specific implementation process, the step "Acquiring the sorting parameter of the application to be updated according to the number of times and the number of days of starting the application to be updated" may be specifically: according to the number of times and the number of days of starting the application to be updated, and the weight of the number of times corresponding to the number of startup times and the weight of the number of days corresponding to the number of startup days, to obtain the sorting parameter of the application to be updated.

Specifically, the sorting parameter can be obtained by referring to the following formula:

Startup times*70%+Startup days*30%

The sort parameter is obtained by referring to the value of this formula. Wherein, the algorithm factor can be adjusted in the server, for example, it can be adjusted as: startup times*60%+startup days*40%, and so on.

Further, the method for obtaining the sorting parameters includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned methods. For example, the step "Acquiring the sorting parameters of the application to be updated according to the number of startups and the number of startup days of the application to be updated" may specifically include:

(1) Obtain the sum of the startup frequency value and the startup day value of the application to be updated.

(2) Obtain the sorting parameter of the application to be updated according to the sum value.

In the specific implementation process, the sorting parameters can also be obtained according to the above methods (1) and (2), but since the sum values obtained by this method may be the same, the sorting parameters cannot be determined, so when the same values appear, you can also How to use ①②:

①According to the start-up days, make corresponding compensation to the sum value, and get the compensated sum value.

② The compensated sum value is used as the sorting parameter of the application to be updated.

Wherein, the compensation can be determined according to the actual situation, and the sum value can be compensated according to the number of start-up days, and the sum value can also be compensated according to the number of start-up times, which is not limited here.

(b) Sorting the at least one application to be updated according to the sorting parameter of the application to be updated.

Specifically, the application update reminder device processes the applications to be updated to generate sorting parameters, and the applications to be updated can be sorted according to the sorting parameters.

For example, the applications to be updated include "XX Browser", "XX Reader", "Wanwan X Month", "XX Video", etc. According to the user's usage information, the above applications are sorted as 1. "Wanwan X Month" , 2. "XX Reader", 3. "XX Browser" and 4. "XX Video".

S104: Send corresponding update reminder information to the electronic device according to the sorting result, where the update reminder information includes version update reminder information of the at least one application to be updated.

Wherein, after the sorting results are generated, the applications to be updated are sorted according to the sorting results, corresponding update reminder information is generated, and the update reminder information is sequentially sent to the electronic device.

Specifically, when there is only one application to be updated, whether to send the update reminder information of the application to the electronic device may be determined according to the user's usage information. For example, if the user of the application frequently uses the application, the update reminder information of the application is directly sent to the electronic device; if the user of the application has not used it for 20 days, the update reminder information of the application is deleted.

When there are multiple applications to be updated, the multiple applications can be sorted according to the usage information of the user, and the update reminder information of the top ranked application is sent to the electronic device. For example, if there are 30 applications to be updated, the 30 applications are sorted according to the preset strategy, and the update reminder information of the top 20 applications is sent to the electronic device in order.

In the specific implementation process, before S104, it may also include:

(A) Detecting whether there is a target application identical to the preset application in at least one application to be updated.

(B) If there is, adjust the sorting result according to the adjustment rule corresponding to the preset application.

In the specific implementation process, when there is a version to be updated in an application already installed on the electronic device, priority update or no update can be selected according to the user's setting, which is not affected by the sorting parameter.

Specifically, the user can set on the electronic device to attach importance to the application or ignore the application, and the application update reminder device selects whether to adjust the sorting result according to the setting. For example, user A likes to play the game "Wang XX Yao", and the application is set as a priority application. According to the sorting parameter, the application ranks third, but because user A sets the application as a priority application, the application does not Affected by the sorting parameter, the application update reminder device directly advances the application to the first priority update. For another example, user A often uses "XX player" to listen to songs, but he is used to using the old version of the application and does not want to update the application. Then user A can set the application to be ignored, regardless of the ranking of the application, the application update reminder device will ignore it and delete the update reminder information without prompting.

It can be seen from the above that the application update reminder method provided in this embodiment first obtains the usage information of multiple applications on the electronic device, and the usage information includes the number of startup times and startup days of the applications within a preset time period; Determine at least one application to be updated from the plurality of applications; sort at least one application to be updated according to the number of times and days of activation of the application to be updated, and obtain a sorting result; finally report to the electronic device according to the sorting result The device sends corresponding update reminder information, and the update reminder information includes the version update reminder information of the at least one application to be updated; this solution sorts the applications to be updated according to the number of times and the number of days of application startup, and then, based on the application sorting result To push update reminder information, it can effectively reduce the update reminder information of applications that are not concerned by users, so as to improve the efficiency of application update and user experience.

In addition, since the usage information reflects the user's behavior habit of using the application, the user can be reminded to update the application based on the usage information, which can conform to the user's behavior habit of using the application, thereby improving the accuracy of the application update.

In an embodiment, according to the method described in the above embodiment, further detailed description will be given below by taking an example.

This embodiment is described by taking an electronic device as an example. Please refer to FIG. 3 . FIG. 3 is another schematic flowchart of an application update reminder method provided by an embodiment.

S201, the server obtains the usage weights of multiple applications on the electronic device.

For example, the server may obtain the usage weight of the application from the electronic device.

Among them, the server can generate the usage weight of the application according to the formula: the number of startups*70%+the number of startup days*30%.

S202, the server determines at least one application to be updated from multiple applications.

For example, when the server finds that the current version information of the application on the electronic device and the version information of the application in the application storage server are different, it determines that the application is the application to be updated.

S203, the server generates a ranking parameter according to the usage weight of the application to be updated.

Specifically, reference may be made to the description of the above embodiment for the generation method of the sorting parameter of the application to be updated, and details are not described herein again.

S204, the server sorts the applications to be updated according to the sorting parameters, and obtains a sorting result.

For example, the applications to be updated include "XX Browser", "XX Reader", "Wanwan X Month", "XX Video", etc. According to the user's usage information, the above applications are sorted as 1. "Wanwan X Month" , 2. "XX Reader", 3. "XX Browser" and 4. "XX Video".

S205, the server finds corresponding update reminder information from the electronic device according to the sorting result.

Wherein, after the sorting results are generated, the applications to be updated are sorted according to the sorting results, corresponding update reminder information is generated, and the update reminder information is sent to the electronic device according to the sorting results.

S206, the electronic device displays the update reminder information.

It can be understood that the electronic device has installed multiple applications, and when an application has a version update in the multiple applications, the electronic device can receive update reminder information of the application, which is used to remind the user that the application can be updated.

For example, when the game "XXNBA" version is updated, the version update gift package can be received, but the user does not know that the game has a new version and misses the time to receive the gift package. With the application update reminder information, the user can be reminded that the game can be updated, and the user can update the game in time, receive gift packages, and so on.

In the specific implementation process, after receiving the application update reminder information, the electronic device needs to display the information in the notification bar to notify the user.

Further, since the applications installed on the electronic devices are different, the update times are not necessarily the same, and the number of applications to be updated each time is not fixed. For example, there may be one or more applications to be updated in the application update reminder received by the electronic device.

Optionally, since the number of applications updated each time is different, the way of presentation can also be different. For example, when there is only one application to be updated, the electronic device directly displays the application update reminder information on the notification bar. The application update reminder information may include the application name, update time, update function, and the like. For example, if the app to be updated this time is only WeChat, the update information of "WeiX" will be displayed directly in the notification bar, which can include "Software Store · Three minutes ago", "WeChat has repaired the video function" and "90" % of users have been updated for the first time", etc., as shown in Figure 4.

When there are multiple applications to be updated, the electronic device obtains the sorting results from the server, sorts the multiple applications according to the sorting results, and displays them in the notification bar in sequence. For example, when the applications to be updated include "Wei X", "Weibo, "Wanwan X Month", "X Bao" and "X Fubao", the electronic device obtains the sorting results from the server, and sorts the above applications according to the sorting results. Arranged in order as "Weibo, "Wei X, "X Bao", "X Fubao", "Ganwan X Month", merge the above applications after sorting and display them in the notification bar, which can include "Software Store· Three minutes ago” and “90% of users are updating the following applications, hurry up to update”, etc., as shown in Figure 5.

In the specific implementation process, when the user sees the application update reminder information on the notification bar, the user can enter the application store to update by clicking on the application update reminder information.

Specifically, the styles displayed in the notification bar are different, and the interface for clicking to jump is also different. When there is only one application to be updated, click the application to update the reminder information, and then jump to the application's details page in the app store; when there are multiple applications to be updated, click the application to update the reminder information, and then jump to the application The "update list page" of the store, where the applications to be updated in the "update list page" are arranged according to the sorting results.

As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, the server is used to obtain the usage weights of multiple applications on the electronic device, and then, at least one application to be updated is determined from the multiple applications, and sorting parameters are generated according to the usage weights of the applications to be updated, and then, according to the sorting The parameters are used to sort the applications to be updated, and a sorting result is obtained. Finally, the corresponding update reminder information is found to the electronic device according to the sorting result. In this solution, the applications to be updated can be sorted according to the usage weights of the applications to be updated, and then corresponding update reminder information can be sent to the electronic device for display. It can effectively reduce update notifications of applications that are not concerned by users, so as to improve the efficiency of application update and user experience.

In addition, since the usage information reflects the user's behavior habit of using the application, the user can be reminded to update the application based on the usage information, which can conform to the user's behavior habit of using the application, thereby improving the accuracy of the application update.

In order to facilitate better implementation of the application update reminder method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application further provides a device based on the above application update reminder method. The meanings of the nouns are the same as those in the above-mentioned method for applying update reminder, and the specific implementation details may refer to the description in the method embodiment.

Please refer to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of an application update reminder device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The application update reminder device 300 may include an acquisition unit 301, a determination unit 302, a sorting unit 303, and a reminder unit 304, as follows:

(1) Acquisition unit 301;

The obtaining unit 301 is configured to obtain usage information of a plurality of applications on the electronic device, where the usage information includes the number of startup times and the startup days of the applications within a preset time period.

The application on the electronic device refers to the application program installed on the electronic device; for example, the social application program installed on the electronic device and so on.

There are various ways to acquire the usage information of the application, for example, the usage information of the application can be acquired from an electronic device. For another example, the electronic device regularly reports the usage information of the application to the server, and saves it on the server. At this time, the server can extract the usage information of the application from the local storage.

It can be understood that, the electronic device in this embodiment of the invention may be a smart phone, a personal computer, a tablet computer, etc., and the multiple applications installed on the electronic device may specifically be a music player, a video player, a browser, and a games, etc.

The usage information may include activation times, activation days, and the like.

Specifically, the application update reminding apparatus can extract the startup times and startup days of these applications by acquiring multiple applications installed on the electronic device, and then acquiring usage information within a preset time period from the multiple applications.

The number of startups may be the cumulative number of startups of the application within a preset time period. For example, the cumulative number of times the application was opened in a day. The preset time period can be set according to actual needs, for example, 5 days, 10 days, or 20 days, and so on.

The startup days may be the number of days that the application is opened within the preset time period; for example, taking the preset time period as 5 days as an example, the startup days refers to the number of days the application is started within the 5 days.

For example, the number of times the application is opened on the first day is 5 times, the number of times the application is opened on the second day is 8 times, the number of times the application is opened on the third day is 10 times, and the number of times the application is opened on the fourth day is 12 times. The number of times the app was opened on the fifth day was 0. Then the number of times the application is launched in the 5 days is 35 times, and the number of days to start is 4 days.

(2) determining unit 302;

The determining unit 302 is configured to determine at least one application to be updated from the multiple applications.

The application to be updated is an application requiring an updated version.

In one embodiment, the application to be updated can be determined by comparing the version information. For example, the current version information of the application on the electronic device and the version information of the application in the application storage server can be obtained, and the two version information can be compared. If not, it is determined that the application is an application to be updated.

It is understandable that users will install many applications on electronic devices, such as maps, games, readers, and so on. Each application will generally launch a new version for users to use after a period of time. Generally speaking, the new version will update many functions, fix bugs and so on.

However, because the manufacturers of each application are different, the update time is not necessarily the same. So every update reminder, there may be multiple, there may be only one, or there may be none.

(3) sorting unit 303;

The sorting unit 303 is configured to sort at least one of the applications to be updated according to the startup times and the startup days of the applications to be updated to obtain a sorting result.

In another implementation manner, the sorting unit 303 is configured to obtain the sorting parameters of the applications to be updated according to the number of times and the number of days of starting the applications to be updated, and rank the applications to be updated according to the sorting parameters of the applications to be updated. At least one application to be updated is sorted.

For example, in a possible implementation manner, the sorting unit 303 may include a first sorting sub-unit 3031, which is configured according to the number of startups of the application to be updated, the number of startup days, and the weight of the number of times corresponding to the number of startups. The weight of the number of days corresponding to the number of startup days is obtained, and the sorting parameter of the application to be updated is obtained.

Specifically, the sorting parameter can be obtained by referring to the following formula:

Startup times*70%+Startup days*30%

The sorting parameter is obtained by referring to the value of this formula. Wherein, the algorithm factor can be adjusted in the server, for example, it can be adjusted as: startup times*60%+startup days*40%, and so on.

In yet another embodiment, the sorting unit 303 may include a second sorting subunit 3032, which is configured to obtain the sum of the number of times and the days of activation of the application to be updated; Describe the ordering parameters of the application to be updated.

Specifically, since the sum value obtained by this method may be the same, the sorting parameter cannot be determined, so when the same sum value appears, the second sorting subunit 3032 can also be used to perform a corresponding operation on the sum value according to the start days , obtain the compensated sum value, and use the compensated sum value as the sorting parameter of the application to be updated.

Wherein, the compensation can be determined according to the actual situation, and the sum value can be compensated according to the number of start-up days, and the sum value can also be compensated according to the number of start-up times, which is not limited here.

Specifically, after the application update reminder device processes the applications to be updated and generates sorting parameters, the applications to be updated may be sorted according to the sorting parameters.

For example, the applications to be updated include "XX Browser", "XX Reader", "Wanwan X Month", "XX" video, etc., and the above applications are sorted according to the user's usage information as 1. "Wanwan X Month" , 2. "XX Reader", 3. "XX Browser" and 4. "XX Video".

(4) determining unit 304;

The determining unit 304 is configured to send corresponding update reminder information to the electronic device according to the sorting result, where the update reminder information includes version update reminder information of the at least one application to be updated.

Specifically, when there is only one application to be updated, whether to send the update reminder information of the application to the electronic device may be determined according to the user's usage information. For example, if the user of the application frequently uses the application, the update reminder information of the application is directly sent to the electronic device; if the user of the application has not used it for 20 days, the update reminder information of the application is deleted.

When there are multiple applications to be updated, the multiple applications can be sorted according to the usage information of the user, and the update reminder information of the top ranked application is sent to the electronic device. For example, if there are 30 applications to be updated, the 30 applications are sorted according to the preset strategy, and the update reminder information of the top 20 applications is sent to the electronic device in order.

Referring to FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is another schematic structural diagram of an application update reminder device provided by an embodiment of the present application.

The application update reminder device may further include a detection unit 305 for detecting whether there is a target application that is the same as the preset application in at least one application to be updated; if so, according to the adjustment rule corresponding to the preset application Adjust the sorting results.

For example, when there is a to-be-updated version of an application installed on the electronic device, priority can be selected to update or not to be updated according to the user's setting, which is not affected by the sorting parameter.

Specifically, the user can set on the electronic device to attach importance to the application or ignore the application, and the application update reminder device selects whether to adjust the sorting result according to the setting. For example, user A likes to play the game "Wang XX Yao", and the application is set as a priority application. According to the sorting parameter, the application ranks third, but because user A sets the application as a priority application, the application does not Affected by the sorting parameter, the application update reminder device directly advances the application to the first priority update. For another example, user A often uses "XX player" to listen to songs, but the user is accustomed to using the old version of the application and does not want to update the application. Then user A can set the application to be ignored, regardless of the ranking of the application, the application update reminder device will ignore it and delete the update reminder information without prompting.
