[0040] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present application to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.

[0041] In the prior art, such as Figure 2 As shown, when a user needs to open a PDF file in the operating system, he can select the opening method to call out all the application clients installed in the operating system that can open the PDF file. At this time, if a host application client itself does not have the function of opening the PDF file, even if its internal applet can open the PDF file, the host application client will not appear in the alternative options for opening the PDF file, so the host application client lacks the opportunity to meet the user's needs. In particular, when all the application clients installed in the operating system cannot open the PDF file, the user may need to download a new application client separately to meet the user's application needs, which not only consumes the user's time and traffic, increases the burden on the operating system, but also does not fully utilize the functions of the applet of the host application client.

[0042] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application utilizes the mini-program ecosystem to expand the capabilities of the host application client, expands the capability boundary of the host application client, and satisfies the user's actual application needs to the greatest extent with the minimum use of the application client in the operating system.

[0043] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a method for responding to application intent in an embodiment of the present application. The technical solution of this embodiment is applicable to the case where a corresponding applet in a host application client is called up based on application intent. This method can be executed by an application intent response device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware, and can generally be integrated in the host application client and used in conjunction with a server for implementing host application functions. The method of this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 310: In response to the application invocation instruction of the operating system, obtain application intent information matching the application invocation instruction.

[0045] The application invocation instruction refers to an instruction that triggers the host application client in the operating system and instructs the host application client to satisfy an application invocation intention that matches the application invocation instruction.

[0046] In this embodiment, the application invocation instruction is generated by the operating system based on the user's application intention. For example, when the user wants to open a file A of a specific format within the operating system (i.e., outside the host application client), the operating system will provide the user with a list of all application clients that can open the file A (opening method list). If the user selects a host application client in the list, the operating system will send a matching application invocation instruction to the host application client, triggering the host application client to open the file A.

[0047] Correspondingly, after the host application client is triggered by the application call-up instruction of the operating system, the matching application intent information can be extracted from the application call-up instruction. That is, in response to the application call-up instruction of the operating system, the application call-up instruction can be analyzed and the application intent information that matches the application call-up instruction can be determined according to the relevant call-up parameters in the instruction, that is, the user's mini-program call-up intention can be determined.

[0048] In this embodiment, a mapping relationship may be established in advance between the application invocation instruction and the application intent information, so that, in response to the application invocation instruction of the operating system, the mapping relationship is directly queried locally to obtain the application intent information matching the application invocation instruction.

[0049] Step 320: According to the application intent information, search for a target mini-program that matches the application intent information.

[0050] In this embodiment, the mini program refers to a mini program that is parasitic on an application program and can supplement the functions of the application program. For example, the XX cloud disk mini program can provide the cloud disk sharing function for the application program, and the XX travel mini program can provide the taxi travel function for the application program.

[0051] The method of searching for the target applet that matches the application intent information may be a local search or a server search. Accordingly, the target applet obtained by the search may be a applet stored locally by the host application client, or a applet downloaded from the server by the host application client.

[0052] In this embodiment, although the mini program does not need to be installed before running, it must be downloaded to the host application client. Therefore, after obtaining the application intent information, you can first search locally whether there is a target mini program that matches the application intent information based on the application intent information. If it exists, there is no need to download the target mini program, and it can be directly called up for use; if it does not exist, you need to download the target mini program that matches the application intent information from the server to the local computer, so as to complete the corresponding mini program calling operation later.

[0053] Step 330: Start the target applet in the host application client, and respond to the application intent that matches the application intent information in the target applet.

[0054] In this embodiment, by starting the target applet in the host application client, the specified function can be provided to the user to respond to the user's application intention. For example, by starting the PDF reader applet in the host application client, the host application client can provide the user with the function of opening a PDF file, thereby opening the PDF file specified by the user to meet the user's needs.

[0055] In this embodiment, for certain functions required by users, when the host application client cannot provide these functions, the mini program ecosystem can be used to expand the capabilities of the host application client. For example, the host application client can use the internal parasitic XX bank mini program to provide payment functions; use the XX network disk mini program downloaded from the server to provide network disk sharing functions; use the PDF conversion tool mini program to convert PDF files to Word files, etc.

[0056] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is that the host application client obtains application intent information that matches the application invocation instruction by responding to the application invocation instruction of the operating system; searches for a target applet that matches the application intent information based on the application intent information; starts the target applet in the host application client, and responds to the application intent that matches the application intent information in the target applet, which solves the problem in the prior art that the functions of the applet of the host application client cannot be fully utilized, provides a method for invoking the applet that can respond to application intent, and expands the capability boundary of the host application client.

[0057] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another method for responding to application intent in an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment further refines each step based on the above embodiment. Figure 4 A method for responding to an application intention provided in an embodiment of the present application is described, comprising the following steps:

[0058] Step 410: pre-register a general call-up behavior list with the operating system.

[0059] Among them, each general invocation behavior in the general invocation behavior list is associated with the application intent responded to by each mini-program carried in the host application client.

[0060] In this embodiment, the general invocation behavior refers to the functions that the host application client reports to the operating system that it can satisfy, such as opening files of a set type, web browsing, and information sharing. Figure 5As shown, in order to respond to the user's call-up intention within the operating system, the user needs to register a general call-up behavior list with the operating system when installing the host application client into the operating system. That is, the list of functions that the host application client can provide is registered within the operating system, so that when the user has demand for functions that the host application client can satisfy, the operating system will display the host application client in the opening method list and provide it for the user to choose, thereby giving the host application client the opportunity to meet the user's needs.

[0061] Among them, the functions that the host application client can provide may include functions that the host client itself can satisfy, as well as functions that the mini-program of the host application client can provide.

[0062] In this embodiment, the general call-up behavior list includes at least one general call-up behavior, such as opening a PDF file, opening a video file, etc. Each general call-up behavior matches at least one applet of the host application client. For example, opening a PDF file can match XX PDF reader, MM PDF reader, XX network disk, and WPS applet in the host application client. In order to facilitate the determination of the applet that implements each general call-up behavior, the application intent to which the corresponding applet responds can be associated with each general call-up behavior.

[0063] Step 420: In response to the application invocation instruction of the operating system, obtain application intent information matching the application invocation instruction.

[0064] In this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, when the user initiates a mini-program call intention to the host application client, that is, the user wants to obtain the target function in the operating system, and the user selects the host application client in the opening method list provided by the operating system, the host application client will receive the application call instruction sent by the operating system. By processing the application call instruction, that is, obtaining the relevant call parameters in the application call instruction, or querying the mapping relationship between the application call instruction and the application intention information, it is determined that the application intention information matching the application call instruction is the operating system's intention for the host application client to provide the user with the target function, for example, to let the host application client open the PDF file specified by the user.

[0065] Step 430: According to the application intent information, search for a target applet that matches the application intent information.

[0066] In this embodiment, Figure 5As shown, after determining the user's application intent, you can first search locally to see if there is a target applet that can respond to the application intent information. If it exists, you can directly call up the target applet for use; if it does not exist, you need to download the target applet that matches the application intent information from the server for local use.

[0067] Optionally, searching for a target mini-program that matches the application intent information based on the application intent information may include: comparing the response intent information of each locally stored mini-program with the application intent information to determine whether there is at least one local mini-program that matches the application intent information, the response intent information being sent by the server to the host application client; if so, determining the target mini-program among the local mini-programs; if not, sending the application intent information to the server, and receiving a list of alternative mini-programs that match the application intent information from the server; and determining the target mini-program in the list of alternative mini-programs.

[0068] In this embodiment, the host application client pre-stores the response intent information sent by the server that matches each mini-program, so that after determining the application intent information, it can compare the response intent information of each mini-program stored locally with the application intent information to determine whether there is a local mini-program matching the application intent information.

[0069] If so, a target mini program may be selected from the matching local mini programs as the target mini program. The target mini program may be selected randomly from the matching mini programs, or may be selected based on the user's preference for the matching mini program or the frequency of use, or may be selected based on other factors.

[0070] If there is no local applet that can match the application intent information, the application intent information needs to be sent to the server to obtain a list of candidate applet that matches the application intent information from the server, and then select one from at least one candidate applet included in the candidate applet list as the target applet.

[0071] Among them, after obtaining the list of alternative mini-programs matching the application intent information from the server, the application intent information can be used as the primary key and the list of alternative mini-programs can be stored locally as a value, so that the next time the application intent is initiated, the target mini-program matching the application intent can be directly searched locally.

[0072] Optionally, determining the target mini-program in the list of candidate mini-programs may include: determining the first candidate mini-program in the list of candidate mini-programs as the target mini-program; or displaying the list of candidate mini-programs to the user, and determining the candidate mini-program selected by the user as the target mini-program.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the server retrieves multiple candidate applets that can respond to application intent information, it will prioritize each candidate applet according to the degree of match between each candidate applet and the application intent information, and generate a list of candidate applets in descending order of priority and feed it back to the host application client. Therefore, the host application client can directly use the first candidate applet in the candidate applet list, that is, the candidate applet with the highest priority, as the target applet. Alternatively, the candidate applet list can be displayed to the user in the form of a pop-up dialog box, and the target applet can be determined based on the user's selection.

[0074] Optionally, while sending application intent information to the server, it can also include: sending real-time geographic location information, and / or device description information that matches the host application client to the server; the device description information includes: user account information, and / or device identification information; wherein the real-time geographic location information is used by the server to assist in matching the mini-program, and the device description information is used by the server to substitute information into each alternative mini-program after determining the list of alternative mini-programs.

[0075] In this embodiment, when requesting a mini-program that can respond to application intent information from the server, in order to facilitate more accurate service provision, the host application client may, in addition to sending application intent information to the server, also simultaneously send at least one of the real-time geographic location information, user account information, and device identification information to the server, so that the server can more accurately search for alternative mini-programs that match the application intent based on the real-time geographic location information.

[0076] For example, the application intent information sent by the host application client to the server is to purchase subway tickets, and the current geographical location is Tianjin. When the server searches for alternative mini-programs, it can further filter out alternative mini-programs that can purchase subway tickets in Tianjin from the mini-programs that can purchase subway tickets based on the geographical location.

[0077] The user account information and device identification information can enable the server to provide the above information to each candidate mini program after obtaining a matching candidate mini program, so that each candidate mini program can provide more accurate query information to the user after being called up. For example, order information associated with the user account information or device identification information.

[0078] Step 440: Start the target applet in the host application client, and respond to the application intent that matches the application intent information in the target applet.

[0079] Optionally, the application intent information is an intention to open a target document of a set format; wherein, responding to an application intent that matches the application intent information within the target applet may include: opening a target document that matches the application intent information within the target applet.

[0080] Exemplarily, the application intent information may be to let the host application client open PDF file A. After the host application client determines the target applet that can open the PDF file, for example, the XX PDF reader applet, it may start the XX PDF reader applet and open PDF file A in the XX PDF reader applet to meet the user's needs.

[0081] Of course, application intent information is not limited to the intention to open a target document in a set format, but can also be other intent information that can meet user needs, such as the intention to open a target audio or video in a specified format, or the intention to pay for a target order.

[0082] Optionally, it may also include: when the host application client is in an activated state, in response to application intent search information input in the search box of the host application client, searching for at least one search applet that matches the application intent search information; providing each search applet for user display; and in response to a selected target search applet, starting the target search applet in the host application client.

[0083] In this example, in addition to calling up the mini-program within the operating system, the user can also call up the mini-program that can provide the specified function within the host application client. In order to respond to the internal call of the host application client, the application intent information that each mini-program can respond to, which has been obtained from the server, will be stored locally. Therefore, when the user enters the application intent search information in the search box of the host application client, at least one search mini-program that matches the application intent search information can be obtained from the local search, and each search mini-program can be displayed to the user to obtain the target search mini-program selected by the user, and then the target search mini-program can be called up in the host application client to meet the user's needs.

[0084] In the prior art, users can only call up a mini program by entering a keyword, such as Figure 1 As shown, the name of the mini-program package must include the specified keywords, which is not a good experience for developers and users, and the matching accuracy of the mini-program is not high. This embodiment implements a mini-program invocation method based on application intent, so that the mini-program can be invoked without keywords, and the mini-program package name does not need to include the specified keywords to be matched, thereby improving the matching accuracy of the mini-program, expanding the search scope of the mini-program, and enhancing the user's search experience for the mini-program.

[0085] In this embodiment, in order to improve the user experience, an application intent preference management page may also be provided to the user, so that the user can manage the preferred options for the target mini-program to be called up for different application intent information.

[0086] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the host application client obtains application intent information matching the application invocation instruction by responding to the application invocation instruction of the operating system; searches for a target applet matching the application intent information based on the application intent information; starts the target applet in the host application client, and responds to the application intent matching the application intent information in the target applet, which solves the problem that the functions of the applet of the host application client are not fully utilized in the prior art, provides a method for invoking applet that can respond to application intent, expands the capabilities of the host application client by utilizing the applet ecosystem, expands the capability boundaries of the host application client, and satisfies the actual application needs of users to the greatest extent with the least utilization of the application client in the operating system.

[0087] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another method for responding to application intent in an embodiment of the present application. The technical solution of this embodiment is applicable to the case where a list of mini-programs matching application intent is provided to a host application client. This method can be executed by an application intent response device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware, and can generally be integrated in a server for implementing host application functions and used in conjunction with a host application client. The method of this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0088] Step 610: Collect the response intention information of the mini-program, and store the response intention information and the matching mini-program in correspondence.

[0089] In this embodiment, in order to accurately search for candidate mini-programs when the host application client requests to obtain a list of candidate mini-programs matching the application intent information, the server needs to collect the response intent information of each mini-program, and can use the response intent information as a keyword and store the mini-programs matching the response intent information as a value. For example, the response intent information "open and edit PDF files" can be stored in correspondence with the XX PDF reader mini-program.

[0090] Step 620: In response to the application intent information sent by the host application client, the application intent information is matched with the response intent information of each mini-program to obtain at least one candidate mini-program.

[0091] In this embodiment, after receiving the application intent information sent by the host application client, the application intent information can be compared with the response intent information of each mini-program stored locally, and the mini-program corresponding to the response intent information with a higher similarity to the application intent information can be selected as an alternative mini-program.

[0092] Step 630: According to the order of matching degree from large to small, the candidate mini-programs are organized into a candidate mini-program list, and the candidate mini-program list is fed back to the host application client.

[0093] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the host application client to determine the matching program between each candidate mini-program and the application intent information, the candidate mini-programs can be sorted in order from large to small matching degree, and a list of candidate mini-programs can be generated and fed back to the host application client.

[0094] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the server collects the response intent information of the mini-programs, and stores the response intent information and the matching mini-programs in correspondence; in response to the application intent information sent by the host application client, the server matches the application intent information with the response intent information of each mini-program to obtain at least one candidate mini-program; according to the order of matching degree from large to small, each candidate mini-program is formed into a candidate mini-program list, and the candidate mini-program list is fed back to the host application client, which solves the problem in the prior art that the functions of the mini-programs of the host application client cannot be fully utilized. By providing the host application client with a list of mini-programs that match the application intent, a method for calling up mini-programs that can respond to the application intent is provided, thereby expanding the capability boundary of the host application client.

[0095] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of another method for responding to application intent in an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment further refines each step based on the above embodiment. Figure 7 Another method for responding to application intent provided in an embodiment of the present application is described, comprising the following steps:

[0096] Step 710: Collect the response intention information of the mini-program, and store the response intention information and the matching mini-program in correspondence.

[0097] In this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, there are two ways to collect the response intent information of the mini program, one is to collect it through the mini program installation package, and the other is to collect it through the mini program material information. The response intent information can be used as a keyword, and the mini program matching the response intent information can be stored as a value.

[0098] Optionally, collecting the response intent information of the mini program may include: obtaining the mini program installation package reported by the mini program developer, and parsing the response intent information corresponding to the mini program in the global configuration file in the mini program installation package; and / or obtaining the mini program material information reported by the mini program developer, and extracting the response intent information corresponding to the mini program from the mini program material information.

[0099] In this embodiment, the server can obtain the mini-program installation package reported by the mini-program developer, use the JSON format file app.json described in a static manner in the mini-program installation package as the global configuration file, and obtain the response intent information corresponding to the mini-program by parsing the global configuration file. Alternatively, the server can also obtain the mini-program material information reported by the mini-program developer on the developer platform, such as the short video recommended to the user in the player mini-program, and extract the response intent information corresponding to the mini-program added by the developer in the mini-program material information, for example, the video file can be opened.

[0100] In this embodiment, by collecting the response intention information of each mini-program, the server can search for matching alternative mini-programs based on the user's application intention, which solves the problem in the prior art that the server can only determine the alternative mini-programs by matching keywords with the names of each mini-program package, resulting in poor matching of the alternative mini-programs and inability to accurately meet the user's mini-program needs. This improves the matching accuracy of mini-programs and expands the search range of mini-programs.

[0101] Step 720: In response to the application intent information sent by the host application client, the application intent information is matched with the response intent information of each mini-program to obtain at least one candidate mini-program.

[0102] Optionally, in response to application intent information sent by the host application client, matching the application intent information with the response intent information of each mini-program to obtain at least one alternative mini-program may include: in response to application intent information and real-time geographic location information sent by the host application client, matching the application intent information and real-time geographic location information with the response intent information of each mini-program to obtain at least one alternative mini-program.

[0103] In this embodiment, if the real-time geographic location information sent by the host application client is received, the server needs to more accurately search for alternative mini-programs that match the application intent information based on both the application intent information and the real-time geographic location information. For example, if the application intent information received by the server is to buy subway tickets, and the real-time geographic location is Tianjin, when searching for alternative mini-programs, the server can further filter out the alternative mini-programs that can buy subway tickets in Tianjin from the mini-programs that can buy subway tickets based on the real-time geographic location information, or directly use "buy subway tickets in Tianjin" as the application intent information to search for alternative mini-programs that match the application intent information.

[0104] Step 730: According to the order of matching degree from large to small, the candidate mini-programs are organized into a candidate mini-program list, and the candidate mini-program list is fed back to the host application client.
