Method and device for updating mobile application

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for updating a mobile application. The method is applied to a version updating server and comprises the steps that an application updating request from a mobile terminal is received, wherein the application updating request comprises the current version number of the application; whether the application meets a preset updating condition or not is judged according to the current version number of the application; when the application meets the preset updating condition, a target version number corresponding to the current version number of the application is determined, and an address of an updating package corresponding to the target version number is obtained; an updating strategy of the application from the current version number to the target version number is determined according to a preset updating strategy from a low version number to a high version number; the updating strategy and the address of the updating package are sent to the mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal can complete the updating of the application according to the updating strategy and the address of the updating package. According to the method for updating the mobile application, the updating logic of the mobile application is processed at the end of the version updating server, and thus the updating efficiency is improved. Once the updating logic needs to be modified, corresponding modification simply needs to be completed at the end of the version updating server.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile Internet, in particular to a mobile application update method and device. Background technique [0002] Mobile applications are applications installed on mobile terminals and used by users. Usually, after a new mobile application is launched, its version update becomes a frequently mentioned topic. [0003] At present, there is no very mature version update solution in the field of mobile applications, but there is a method of using a PC (personal computer) terminal application version update server to perform mobile application version update. Among them, this update method puts the update processing logic of the mobile application on the mobile terminal. When the user needs to update the mobile application, the update package information of each version is obtained from the update server, and the mobile terminal determines whether the update is required and the specific update strategy, etc. . For exampl...

At the same time, the update processing logic located in the mobile terminal is not very flexible, that is to say, once the update processing logic needs to be adjusted, the update processing logic of all mobile terminals needs to be updated, which is undoubtedly a complicated project

[0004] Therefore, due to the limitation of the processing capability of the mobile terminal in the above method, the version update efficiency of the mobile application is low. At the same time, placing the update processing logic on the mobile terminal results in low flexibility in adjusting the update processing logic.
