Application update prompt method and apparatus

Abstract

Embodiments of the application provide an application update method and apparatus. The method comprises: when a specified application has updateable content, making statistics on an error probability of the application running in one or more specified conditions, wherein one or more specified conditions involve attributes and/or an operating environment of the application; and when the error probability meets a set condition, pushing an application update prompt to a terminal device meeting one or more specified conditions. According to the application update method and apparatus provided by the embodiments of the application, the pushing number and frequency of other unnecessary update prompts are reduced, the system resource consumption of a server is reduced, the response number and frequency of the terminal device to the update prompts are reduced, and the system resource consumption of the terminal device is also reduced; in addition, the update prompt number and frequency are reduced, so that the user experience can be greatly improved; and furthermore, the update prompts are reduced, so that the application update number is also reduced and the network bandwidth occupation is greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method for prompting an update of an application program and an apparatus for prompting an update of an application program. Background technique [0002] At present, with the rapid development of the Internet, network applications tend to be diversified, especially with the large-scale popularization of mobile devices, such as instant messaging tools, e-mail, web browsers and other applications (Application, referred to as App), are widely used Applied in all aspects of users' life and work. [0003] Due to the increasingly fierce competition in the application program market and the convergence of technologies among competing companies, user experience has become the soft power of application program competition and an indicator to measure the success of a product. [0004] In order to maintain the competitiveness of the application program, the application p...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] First of all, the application publisher frequently updates the notification, which makes the server of the publisher consume a lot of system resources, and the terminal device also needs to respond to the update notification frequently, which also consumes a lot of system resources of the terminal device

[0007] Secondly, frequent update prompts cause a lot of trouble to users, and the user experience is very poor

[0008] Furthermore, due to frequent update prompts, users can only solve this problem through application program updates, so that a large number of application programs will be updated, occupying a large amount of network bandwidth
