[0046] In the description of the present application, “plurality” means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0047] Here, the "configuration index information", "configuration index information copy", "initial configuration index information" and "target configuration index information" described in this application are used to pull corresponding configuration data.

[0052] The user equipment receives the configuration result information.

[0053] Figure 3 A flow chart of a method for configuring data for an application according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method includes step S11, step S12 and step S13.

[0054] Specifically, in step S11, the user device detects whether there is a local copy of the index file of the application in response to the user's startup operation on the application. In some embodiments, the index file copy includes but is not limited to one or more copies of configuration index information. For example, the user device monitors the user's startup operation on the application, and when the user device detects the startup operation on the application, the user device detects whether there is a local copy of the index file of the application. In some embodiments, there is a mapping relationship between the index file copy and the application. For example, the user device queries and detects whether there is a local copy of the index file of the application on the user device based on the application identification information of the application.

[0055] In step S12, if it exists, the copy of the configuration index information in the copy of the index file is determined as the target configuration index information; otherwise, the index file of the application is obtained, and the initial configuration index information in the index file is determined as the target configuration index information. In some embodiments, the index file includes one or more initial configuration index information. For example, when the user device downloads and installs the application, it obtains one or more initial configuration index information of the application from the corresponding network device, and establishes the index file locally, and records the one or more initial configuration index information in the index file. In some embodiments, if the copy of the index file exists locally on the user device, the copy of the configuration index information in the copy of the index file is determined as the target configuration index information; if the copy of the index file does not exist locally on the user device, the index file of the application is obtained, and the initial configuration index information in the index file is determined as the target configuration index information. In some embodiments, the index file of the application is unchanged. For example, when the application is downloaded and installed, the index file is established, and the initial configuration index information of the application is recorded in the index file. In some embodiments, the index file copy changes dynamically. For example, the index file copy is dynamically updated based on the configuration result information returned by the network device. For the establishment and update of the index file copy, please refer to the specific embodiments below.

[0056] In step S13, the user equipment sends a configuration request to the corresponding network equipment, wherein the configuration request includes the target configuration index information. In some embodiments, after the user equipment determines the target configuration index information based on the index file or the index file copy of the application, it sends a configuration request to the network equipment to request the network equipment to return the corresponding configuration result information (for example, the configuration result information includes the target configuration data for the user equipment to start the application).

[0057] For example, an application V is installed in a user device. While downloading and installing the application V, the user device caches the initial configuration index information (for example, key1, key2, key3) used to pull the configuration data of the application V, and creates an index file V of the application V, and records the key1, key2, key3 in the index file V. Subsequently, the user device monitors the user's startup operation on the application V. When the startup operation is detected, the user device detects whether there is a local index file copy V of the application V. If so, the user device determines the configuration index information copy in the index file copy as the target configuration index information; if not, the index file V of the application is obtained, and the initial configuration index information (for example, key1, key2, key3) in the index file V is used to determine the target configuration index information. A configuration request is sent to the corresponding network device, wherein the configuration request includes the target configuration index information. In this embodiment, each time an application is started, the user device determines the target configuration index information according to the local actual situation (for example, according to the index file copy or the index file), and sends the target configuration index information to the network device. In some embodiments, the index file copy is dynamically updated based on the addition or deletion of the application's configuration index information, thereby avoiding the user device requesting the network device to query and return unnecessary configuration data, thereby reducing the pressure on the network device and improving the startup speed of the application.

[0058] In some embodiments, step S11 includes step S111 (not shown) and step S112.

[0059] In step S111, the user device detects whether a configuration file of the application exists locally on the user device in response to the user's startup operation on the application, wherein the configuration file includes configuration data of the application. In some embodiments, the configuration file includes configuration data of the application, and the configuration data is used to start the application. In some embodiments, the user device detects whether a configuration file of the application exists locally on the user device in response to the user's startup operation on the application.

[0060] In step S112, if it exists, the user device starts the application by reading the configuration data; otherwise, it detects whether there is a copy of the index file of the application locally on the user device. In some embodiments, if the configuration file exists locally on the user device, the user device can directly read the configuration data in the configuration file to start the application; if the configuration file does not exist locally on the user device, the user device detects whether there is a copy of the index file of the application locally. In this embodiment, in order to further reduce the pressure on network devices and increase the startup speed of applications, when the configuration file of the application exists locally on the user device, the user device can directly start the application based on the configuration file.

[0061] In some embodiments, the step S112 includes: if it exists, sending a version query request about the configuration file to the network device, wherein the version query request includes the version information of the configuration data in the configuration file; receiving the version query result information about the configuration file returned by the network device; if the version query result information includes version update information, detecting whether there is a copy of the index file of the application locally in the user device; otherwise, starting the application by reading the configuration data in the configuration file. In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the version of the configuration file local to the user device is the latest, when the user device detects that the configuration file exists locally, it sends a version query request about the configuration file to the corresponding network device to request the network device to query whether the configuration data in the configuration file stored locally by the user device has been updated. In some embodiments, if the version query result information returned by the network device includes version update information, the user device detects whether there is a copy of the index file of the application locally; if the version query result information returned by the network device includes no version update information, the user device can directly read the configuration data in the configuration file to start the application. In this embodiment, in order to avoid using an expired version of configuration data to start the application, when the user device detects that a configuration file of the application exists locally, it first sends a version query request to the network device. When the version query result returned by the network device includes no version update information, the application is started by reading the configuration data in the local configuration file.

[0062] In some embodiments, the method further includes step S14 (not shown), in which the user device receives the configuration result information returned by the network device based on the configuration request, wherein the configuration result information includes the target configuration data and the target version information of the target configuration data. In some embodiments, the network device obtains the target configuration data and the target version information of the target configuration data based on the target configuration index information in the configuration request sent by the user device, and sends the target configuration data and the target version information of the target configuration data to the user device. In some embodiments, the user device starts the application by reading the target configuration data.

[0063] In some embodiments, the user device will establish or update the index file copy based on the configuration result information. For example, if the index file copy does not exist in the user device, the user device will determine whether it is necessary to establish the index file copy based on the configuration result information, and if necessary, the user device will establish the index file copy; for another example, if the index file copy already exists in the user device, the user device will determine whether it is necessary to update the index file copy based on the configuration result information, and if necessary, the user device will update the index file copy in a timely manner. In this embodiment, the index file copy is in a dynamically changing state (for example, established or dynamically updated) based on the configuration result information returned by the network device.

[0064] In some embodiments, the configuration result information also includes the target configuration index information that has been deleted, wherein the target configuration index information that has been deleted includes deletion mark information; the method further includes step S15 (not shown), in which the user equipment establishes or updates the index file copy according to the target configuration index information that has been deleted. For example, the configuration result information returned by the network device includes the target configuration index information that has been deleted, and the user equipment establishes or updates the index file copy based on the target configuration index information that has been deleted. In some embodiments, the deletion mark information includes but is not limited to identification information such as "-1". For example, the network device inquires that a key (for example, key4) in the target configuration index information sent by the user device has been deleted, and the configuration result information sent by the network device to the user device also includes the target configuration index information that has been deleted, wherein the target configuration index information that has been deleted includes deletion mark information, for example, "key4-1". The user equipment establishes or updates the index file copy according to the deleted target configuration index information.

[0065] In some embodiments, the step S15 includes: if the index file copy of the application does not exist locally on the user device, create an index file copy of the application, wherein the index file copy includes all initial configuration index information in the index file, and the initial configuration index information is used as a configuration index information copy in the index file copy; search for a corresponding configuration index information copy according to the deleted target configuration index information; and delete the configuration index information copy from the index file copy. For example, when the configuration result information received by the user device also includes the deleted target configuration index information, and the index file copy does not exist locally on the user device, the user device creates the index file copy. In some embodiments, the user device creates an index file of the application when downloading and installing the application, and records the initial configuration index information used to pull the configuration data of the initial version of the application in the index file. When the user device initially creates the index file copy, all the initial configuration index information in the index file is recorded in the created index file copy as a configuration index information copy. Further, the user device searches for a corresponding configuration index information copy according to the deleted target configuration index information; and deletes the configuration index information copy from the index file copy. For example, the index file includes initial configuration index information key1, key2, key3. There is no index file copy in the user device, and the user device sends the key1, key2, key3 as target configuration index information to the network device. The configuration result information sent by the network device received by the user device includes "key3-1", and the user device establishes an index file copy based on the configuration result information. For example, the user device establishes an index file copy and records the key1, key2, key3 as configuration index information copies in the index file copy. The user device searches for the corresponding configuration index information copy key3 based on "key3-1" in the configuration result information it received, and deletes key3 from the index file copy.

[0066] In some embodiments, step S15 includes: if the user device already has a local index file copy of the application, updating the index file copy of the application, wherein the index file copy includes a configuration index information copy; searching for a corresponding configuration index information copy according to the deleted target configuration index information; deleting the configuration index information copy from the index file copy. For example, when the configuration result information received by the user device also includes the deleted target configuration index information, and the user device already has a local index file copy, the user device updates the index file copy. The user device searches for a corresponding configuration index information copy according to the deleted target configuration index information; and deletes the configuration index information copy from the index file copy. For example, the index file copy includes configuration index information copies key1, key2, and key3. The configuration result information received by the user device from the network device includes "key3-1", and the user device updates the index file copy based on the configuration result information. For example, the user device searches for a corresponding configuration index information copy key3 based on "key3-1" in the configuration result information it receives, and deletes key3 from the index file copy.

[0067] In some embodiments, the configuration result information also includes newly added configuration index information; the method further includes step S16 (not shown), in which the user equipment creates or updates the index file copy according to the newly added configuration index information. For example, the configuration result information returned by the network device includes the newly added configuration index information, and the user equipment creates or updates the index file copy based on the newly added configuration index information.

[0068] In some embodiments, the step S16 includes: if the index file copy of the application does not exist locally on the user device, creating an index file copy of the application, wherein the index file copy includes all initial configuration index information in the index file, wherein the initial configuration index information is used as a configuration index information copy in the index file copy; adding the newly added configuration index information to the index file copy as a new configuration index information copy. For example, when the configuration result information received by the user device also includes the newly added configuration index information, and the index file copy does not exist locally on the user device, the user device creates the index file copy. In some embodiments, the user device creates the index file of the application when downloading and installing the application, and records the initial configuration index information used to pull the configuration data of the initial version of the application in the index file. When the user device initially creates the index file copy, all the initial configuration index information in the index file is recorded in the created index file copy as a configuration index information copy. Further, the user device adds the newly added configuration index information in the configuration result information to the index file copy as a new configuration index information copy. For example, the index file includes initial configuration index information key1, key2, key3. There is no index file copy in the user device, and the user device sends key1, key2, key3 as target configuration index information to the network device. When the user device receives the configuration result information sent by the network device including newly added configuration index information, such as "key4", the user device adds the newly added configuration index information to the index file copy as a new configuration index information copy. For example, the index file copy established by the user device includes configuration index information copies key1, key2, key3, key4.

[0069] In some embodiments, step S16 includes: if the user device has a local copy of the index file of the application, updating the copy of the index file of the application; adding the newly added configuration index information to the copy of the index file as a new copy of the configuration index information. For example, when the configuration result information received by the user device also includes the newly added configuration index information, and the copy of the index file already exists locally in the user device, the user device updates the copy of the index file. For example, the copy of the index file includes copies of configuration index information key1, key2, and key3. The user device receives the configuration result information sent by the network device, which includes the newly added configuration index information "key4", and the user device updates the copy of the index file based on the configuration result information. For example, the user device adds the key4 to the copy of the index file to update the copy of the index file, for example, the updated copy of the index file includes copies of configuration index information key1, key2, key3, and key4.

[0070] Figure 4 A flow chart of a method for configuring data for an application according to another embodiment of the present application is shown. The method includes step S21, step S22, and step S23.

[0071] Specifically, in step S21, the network device receives a configuration request about an application sent by a user device, wherein the configuration request includes target configuration index information, wherein the configuration request is sent by the user device in response to a user's startup operation on the application by detecting whether a copy of the index file of the application exists locally on the user device. In some embodiments, the index file copy includes but is not limited to one or more copies of configuration index information. For example, the user device monitors the user's startup operation on the application, and when the user device detects the startup operation on the application, the user device detects whether a copy of the index file of the application exists locally. In some embodiments, there is a mapping relationship between the index file copy and the application, for example, the user device queries and detects whether a copy of the index file of the application exists locally on the user device based on the application identification information of the application. If the index file copy exists locally on the user device, the user device sends the configuration request to the network device. In some embodiments, the target configuration index information is used to pull corresponding target configuration data.

[0072] In step S22, the network device obtains the target configuration data and the target version information of the target configuration data according to the target configuration index information. In some embodiments, the network device obtains the corresponding target configuration data and the target version information (e.g., 1.0, 2.0...) of the target configuration data according to the target configuration index information. For example, the network device pulls the target configuration data of the target configuration index information from the application database of the application according to the target configuration index information, and obtains the target version information of the target configuration data.

[0073] In step S23, the network device sends configuration result information to the user device, wherein the configuration result information includes the target configuration data and the target version information. In some embodiments, the network device sends the target configuration data and the target version information of the target configuration data as configuration result information to the user device. In some embodiments, the target configuration data is used by the user device to start the application.

[0074] In some embodiments, the method further includes step S24 (not shown), in which the network device receives a version query request for the configuration file of the application sent by the user device, wherein the version query request includes the version information of the configuration file; obtains the latest version information of the application, and detects whether the configuration file of the application has been updated by comparing the latest version information with the version information in the version query request; returns version query result information about the configuration file to the user device, wherein the version query result information includes version update information or no version update information. In some embodiments, the network device also receives a version query request for the configuration file cached locally sent by the user device, wherein the version query request includes the version information of the configuration file, the network device queries and obtains the latest version information of the application, and detects whether the version information of the configuration file cached locally by the user device is the latest version by comparing the latest version information with the version information received by the user device. Further, the network device returns the version query result information to the user device. For example, if the version information of the configuration file is the same as the latest version information, the version query result information returned by the network device to the user device includes no version update information; for another example, if the version information of the configuration file is different from the latest version information, the version query result information returned by the network device to the user device includes version update information.

[0075] In some embodiments, the configuration request includes one or more target configuration index information; the step S22 includes step S221 (not shown), step S222 and step S223. In step S221, the network device obtains all the latest configuration index information of the application. In step S222, the network device detects whether the number of the one or more target configuration index information has changed by comparing the one or more target configuration index information with the latest configuration index information. In step S223, the network device obtains the target configuration data and the target version information of the target configuration data according to the detection result. In some embodiments, the configuration request sent by the user device includes one or more target configuration index information (for example, key1, key2, key3), and after receiving the configuration request, the network device obtains all the latest configuration index information of the application (for example, the network device obtains all the latest configuration index information of the application from the application database of the application). Further, the network device detects whether the number of the one or more target configuration index information has changed (for example, deleted or added) by comparing the one or more target configuration index information with the latest configuration index information. Furthermore, the network device obtains target configuration data and target version information of the target configuration data according to a result of the comparison test.

[0076] In some embodiments, the detection result includes: there is a target configuration index information that has been deleted in the one or more target configuration index information, and the step S223 includes: the network device removes the deleted target configuration index information from the one or more target configuration index information; the network device obtains the target configuration data and the target version information of the target configuration data according to the one or more target configuration index information after removal. For example, the result of the comparison detection of the network device includes that there is a target configuration index information that has been deleted in the one or more target configuration index information. For example, the latest configuration index information obtained by the network device includes key1 and key2; and the target configuration index information sent by the user device includes key1, key2, and key3, then it can be determined that there is a target configuration index information (for example, key3) that has been deleted in the one or more target configuration index information. Further, the network device removes the deleted target configuration index information from the one or more target configuration index information, and pulls the target configuration data according to the removed target configuration index information, and obtains the target version information of the target configuration data. For example, the network device only pulls the configuration data of key1 and key2 as the target configuration data.

[0077] In some embodiments, the step S223 further includes: the network device generates deletion mark information of the deleted target configuration index information; the step S23 includes: the network device sends configuration result information to the user device, wherein the configuration result information includes the target configuration data, the target version information and the deleted target configuration index information, and the deleted target configuration index information includes deletion mark information. In some embodiments, when the target configuration index information sent by the user device contains the deleted target configuration index information, the network device promptly "notifies" the user device so that the user device can establish or update a configuration index file copy locally. For example, the network device detects that key3 has been deleted by comparison, and the network device performs deletion mark information on key3 (for example, "-1" deletion mark information). Further, the configuration result information sent by the network device to the user device includes the target configuration data, the target version information and the deleted target configuration index information pulled after removing key3, and the deleted target configuration index information includes deletion mark information (for example, "key3-1").

[0078] In some embodiments, the detection result includes: the application has newly added configuration index information, and the step S22 includes: the network device adds the newly added configuration index information to the one or more target configuration index information; the network device obtains the target configuration data and the target version information of the target configuration data according to the one or more target configuration index information after adding. In some embodiments, the result of the comparison detection of the network device is that the application has newly added configuration index information. For example, the latest configuration index information obtained by the network device includes key1, key2, key3; and the target configuration index information sent by the user device includes key1, key2, key3, key4. It can be determined that the application has newly added key4. The network device adds the newly added configuration index information to the one or more target configuration index information, and pulls the target configuration data according to the added target configuration index information, and obtains the target version information of the target configuration data. For example, the network device pulls the configuration data of key1, key2, key3, and key4 as the target configuration data.

[0079] In some embodiments, the step S23 includes: the network device sends configuration result information to the user device, wherein the configuration result information includes the target configuration data, the target version information, and the newly added configuration index information. In some embodiments, when the target configuration index information sent by the user device contains newly added configuration index information, the network device promptly "notifies" the user device so that the user device can locally establish or update a copy of the configuration index file. For example, the network device detects that the configuration index information key4 is newly added by comparison, and the configuration result information sent by the network device to the user device includes not only the target configuration data and the target version information, but also the newly added configuration index information (for example, "key4").

[0080] Figure 5 A flow chart of a method for configuring data for an application according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 5 When starting an APP (for example, the application), first determine whether there is a configuration data file (for the convenience of explanation, tentatively referred to as a data file, for example, the "configuration file") in the hardware storage device (for example, the local user device). If it exists, read the data file into the system memory for use by the APP. At the same time, obtain the version of the data file, and go to the server (for example, the network device) to request whether the version has been updated. If it is the latest, end the process. If the data file is not the latest, determine whether there is a copy of the configuration index file in the hardware storage device (for example, the copy of the index file, for the convenience of explanation, tentatively referred to as a keyCopy file). If the keyCopy file exists, read the configuration key of the keyCopy file (for example, the copy of the configuration index information), and request the server to send the full amount of configuration data based on the configuration key, and save it as a data file. At the same time, save the version number of the data file for next use. At the same time, determine whether there are expired configuration keys based on the data sent down. If there are expired keys, delete them from the keyCopy file. This can greatly save the client's reading time, optimize the startup speed, and reduce the server's query for invalid keys, thereby reducing the query pressure on the server and the amount of data sent down.

[0081] If keyCopy does not exist, read the original configuration file (for example, the configuration index file, tentatively referred to as the key file here), and request the server to send the full amount of configuration data based on the configuration key (for example, the initial configuration index information), and save it as a data file, and save the version number of the data file for next use. At the same time, determine whether there is an expired configuration key based on the data sent, and if there is an expired key, generate a new keyCopy file for next use. This can greatly save the client's reading time and optimize the startup speed, and can also reduce the server's query for invalid keys, reduce the query pressure on the server, and reduce the amount of data sent. In this embodiment, a layered caching mechanism is used, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the client and server, and can readjust the number of configuration keys based on the data sent by the server, which is equivalent to a two-way interactive configuration.

[0082] Figure 6 A device structure diagram of a user device for configuring data for an application according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the device includes a first module, a second module, and a third module.

[0083] Specifically, a module is used to detect whether a copy of the index file of the application exists locally on the user device in response to a user's startup operation on the application. In some embodiments, the copy of the index file includes but is not limited to one or more copies of configuration index information. For example, the user device monitors the user's startup operation on the application, and when the user device detects the startup operation on the application, the user device detects whether a copy of the index file of the application exists locally. In some embodiments, there is a mapping relationship between the copy of the index file and the application. For example, the user device queries and detects whether a copy of the index file of the application exists locally on the user device based on the application identification information of the application.

[0084] Module one or two is used to determine the copy of the configuration index information in the copy of the index file as the target configuration index information if it exists; otherwise, obtain the index file of the application and determine the target configuration index information with the initial configuration index information in the index file. In some embodiments, the index file includes one or more initial configuration index information. For example, when the user device downloads and installs the application, it obtains one or more initial configuration index information of the application from the corresponding network device, establishes the index file locally, and records the one or more initial configuration index information in the index file. In some embodiments, if the copy of the index file exists locally on the user device, the copy of the configuration index information in the copy of the index file is determined as the target configuration index information; if the copy of the index file does not exist locally on the user device, the index file of the application is obtained, and the initial configuration index information in the index file is determined as the target configuration index information. In some embodiments, the index file of the application is unchanged. For example, when the application is downloaded and installed, the index file is established, and the initial configuration index information of the application is recorded in the index file. In some embodiments, the index file copy changes dynamically. For example, the index file copy is dynamically updated based on the configuration result information returned by the network device. For the establishment and update of the index file copy, please refer to the specific embodiments below.

[0085] A module 3 is used to send a configuration request to a corresponding network device, wherein the configuration request includes the target configuration index information. In some embodiments, after the user device determines the target configuration index information based on the index file or the index file copy of the application, it sends a configuration request to the network device to request the network device to return the corresponding configuration result information (for example, the configuration result information includes the target configuration data for the user device to start the application).

[0086] For example, an application V is installed in a user device. While downloading and installing the application V, the user device caches the initial configuration index information (for example, key1, key2, key3) used to pull the configuration data of the application V, and creates an index file V of the application V, and records the key1, key2, key3 in the index file V. Subsequently, the user device monitors the user's startup operation on the application V. When the startup operation is detected, the user device detects whether there is a local index file copy V of the application V. If so, the user device determines the configuration index information copy in the index file copy as the target configuration index information; if not, the index file V of the application is obtained, and the initial configuration index information (for example, key1, key2, key3) in the index file V is used to determine the target configuration index information. A configuration request is sent to the corresponding network device, wherein the configuration request includes the target configuration index information. In this embodiment, each time an application is started, the user device determines the target configuration index information according to the local actual situation (for example, according to the index file copy or the index file), and sends the target configuration index information to the network device. In some embodiments, the index file copy is dynamically updated based on the addition or deletion of the application's configuration index information, thereby avoiding the user device requesting the network device to query and return unnecessary configuration data, thereby reducing the pressure on the network device and improving the startup speed of the application.

[0087] In some embodiments, the one-to-one module includes a one-to-one module (not shown) and a one-to-two module.

[0107] Specifically, module 21 is used to receive a configuration request about an application sent by a user device, wherein the configuration request includes target configuration index information, wherein the configuration request is sent by the user device in response to a user's startup operation on the application by detecting whether a copy of the index file of the application exists locally on the user device. In some embodiments, the index file copy includes but is not limited to one or more copies of configuration index information. For example, the user device monitors the user's startup operation on the application, and when the user device detects the startup operation on the application, the user device detects whether a copy of the index file of the application exists locally. In some embodiments, there is a mapping relationship between the index file copy and the application, for example, the user device queries and detects whether a copy of the index file of the application exists locally on the user device based on the application identification information of the application. If the index file copy exists locally on the user device, the user device sends the configuration request to the network device. In some embodiments, the target configuration index information is used to pull the corresponding target configuration data.

[0108] Module 22 is used to obtain target configuration data and target version information of the target configuration data according to the target configuration index information. In some embodiments, the network device obtains the corresponding target configuration data and target version information (e.g., 1.0, 2.0...) of the target configuration data according to the target configuration index information.

In some embodiments, the network device sends the target configuration data and the target version information of the target configuration data as configuration result information to the user equipment. In some embodiments, the target configuration data is used by the user equipment to start the application.

[0110] In some embodiments, the device also includes a 24 module (not shown), which is used to receive a version query request for a configuration file of the application sent by the user device, wherein the version query request includes version information of the configuration file; obtain the latest version information of the application, and detect whether the configuration file of the application has been updated by comparing the latest version information with the version information in the version query request; and return version query result information about the configuration file to the user device, wherein the version query result information includes version update information or no version update information.
