Method of automatic downloading software from network server

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method that automatically downloads the software from the network server, the method includes the steps as follows: A) the client is conneted to the software downloading area of the specific network server by the public information network; B) the client sends the required instruction of downloading the specific software to the server; C) the software downloading nagegement module tests the basic software platform edition of the client; D) the downloading management module automatically choose the edition which is matched with the basic software platform edition of the client to provide the downloading. By the technical proposal provided by the invention, the client downloads the software which needs to choose the edition from the server, the user need not to choose the right software edition from the server by hand, the server can automatically test the edition type of the basic software platform, and provide the right downloading software edition to the client, the whole downloading process is completed automatically, to reduce the operation burden of the user, and eliminate the various problems caused by improper option of the downloading software edition.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of software downloading, in particular to a method for automatically downloading software from a network server. Background technique [0002] In order to obtain a new software program, the client often needs to connect to the server for downloading. Due to the difference in the operating platform used by the client, it is necessary to download the software program that matches the operating platform of the machine before it can be installed and executed on the machine. Many web servers also provide different software versions for various operating platforms for users to download. But sometimes it is not easy to choose a suitable version of the download software. There are two main reasons. One is that the user has limited software knowledge, or only knows how to use the client, but is not interested in its technical parameters, and it is difficult to accurately judge the operation of the client.

Problems solved by technology

But sometimes it is not easy to choose a suitable version of the download software. There are two main reasons. One is that the user has limited software knowledge, or only knows how to use the client, but is not interested in its technical parameters, and it is difficult to accurately judge the operation of the client. Platform version type, especially for smart phones, there are many operating systems, and it is more difficult to judge

The second is that some web servers lack scientific management of download resources, and the version descriptions provided are not clear. Users who lack software technology foundation are prone to misunderstand and cannot correctly select the appropriate version.

The software download here is an example. For example, an SP provider wants to provide a video player software for smartphones, but there are at least four or five commonly used operating systems for smartphones, plus different language versions, such as simplified and traditional Chinese versions. , English version, etc. In this way, at least more than ten versions of video player software must be provided. For a user with a low level of software technology, it must take a certain amount of trouble to choose the correct version to download.
