[0033] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates exemplary embodiments of the present invention, including various details to aid understanding. These details should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for managing applications, which may include the following steps:

[0035] Step S101: Determine the multimedia files included in the application.

[0036] Specifically, the application described in this embodiment of the invention includes services that require keepalive functionality, such as push services in instant messaging applications; further, a multimedia file is determined for keeping the application alive, such as an audio file or a video file; the application is kept alive by running this multimedia file. This multimedia file may be stored in a designated storage space within the application (e.g., a designated file directory), or the multimedia file may have a pre-defined file identifier.

[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, there are two methods for determining the multimedia files included in the application:

[0038] The first method involves searching for multimedia files in the designated storage space corresponding to the application, and locating the multimedia file if it is determined to be in a normal state. Specifically, for example, if the multimedia file is \aaa\bbb\ccc\abcd.wav, then the application's multimedia file abcd.wav is searched in the designated storage space \aaa\bbb\ccc\. It is then determined whether abcd.wav is in a normal state (e.g., a valid file, playable). If the multimedia file is found and determined to be in a normal state, the application's multimedia file is located.

[0039] The second method: If no multimedia file is found in the designated storage space corresponding to the application, or if a multimedia file is found but is in an abnormal state, a new multimedia file is generated for the application, and this new multimedia file is used as the application's multimedia file. Specifically, for example: if no multimedia file for keeping the application alive is found in the designated storage space \aaa\bbb\ccc\, or if abcd.wav is found but is in an abnormal state (e.g., corrupted, unplayable, or unable to achieve the desired keep-alive effect), then a new multimedia file is generated for the application, and this new multimedia file is used as the application's multimedia file to achieve the application's keep-alive function.

[0040] Step S102: Optimize and analyze the current parameter values ​​of one or more feature parameters of the multimedia file, and adjust the multimedia file according to the analysis results, wherein the adjusted multimedia file includes optimized parameter values ​​corresponding to one or more feature parameters.

[0041] Specifically, after locating the multimedia file, the current parameter values ​​of one or more feature parameters of the multimedia file are optimized and analyzed, and the multimedia file is adjusted according to the analysis results. The method for obtaining the current parameter values ​​of one or more feature parameters of the multimedia file is as follows: the current parameter values ​​corresponding to the feature parameters stored for the multimedia file are retrieved. The feature parameter information matching the multimedia file can be stored in data sources such as files or databases within the application. The correspondence between the file identifier of the multimedia file and the corresponding current parameter value of the feature parameter, as well as the correspondence between each feature parameter and its corresponding current parameter value, can be stored using key-value pairs (key:value). If the current parameter value of any feature parameter changes, the stored current parameter value of the feature parameter is updated to ensure that the stored current parameter value of the feature parameter remains synchronized with the current multimedia file.

[0042] Further, the current parameter values ​​of one or more feature parameters of the multimedia file are optimized and analyzed, and the multimedia file is adjusted according to the analysis results, including: for each feature parameter's current parameter value, performing the following operations: comparing the current parameter value with a set reference range; if the comparison result indicates that the current parameter value does not match the set reference range, then determining an optimized parameter value corresponding to the feature parameter according to the set reference range; and adjusting the multimedia file based on the optimized parameter values ​​of one or more feature parameters.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the multimedia file is an audio file, the feature parameters include any one or more of the following: audio sampling rate, audio sampling bit depth, number of audio channels, audio amplitude, audio duration, audio format, playback volume, and playback interval. The reference range can be a single value, multiple values, or multiple value ranges. For example, the current parameter value of the audio sampling rate is 10000Hz, and the corresponding setting reference range is no greater than 4000Hz; the current parameter value of the audio sampling bit depth is 16bit, and the corresponding setting reference range is 8bit; the current parameter value of the number of audio channels is 2, and the corresponding setting reference range is 1; the current parameter value of the audio amplitude is 1, and the corresponding setting reference range is 0.1; the current parameter value of the audio duration is 30s, and the corresponding setting reference range is 15s; the current parameter value of the audio format is compressed audio format, and the corresponding setting reference range is lossless uncompressed audio format; the current parameter value of the playback volume is 2, and the corresponding setting reference range is 0; the current parameter value of the playback interval is 10s, and the corresponding setting reference range is 55s, etc. It can be understood that the settings can be adjusted multiple times for multimedia files of the same application to achieve the best keep-alive effect. Therefore, by adjusting the current parameter value (e.g., lowering or reducing the current parameter value), the above-mentioned setting reference range allows the setting reference range (i.e., optimized parameter value) of each feature parameter to maximize the saving of energy consumption during application operation (e.g., saving power consumption, saving computing resource consumption) while achieving the keep-alive function.

[0044] Furthermore, the current parameter values ​​of one or more feature parameters of the multimedia file are optimized and analyzed. For example, the optimization and analysis method involves comparing the current parameter value with a set reference range to determine that the current parameter value (e.g., 10s) of the playback interval indicator of the audio file abcd.wav does not match the set reference range (e.g., 55s). Then, the optimized parameter value corresponding to the feature parameter (playback interval) is determined to be 55s. That is, the optimized parameter value corresponding to the feature parameter is determined according to the set reference range.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the multimedia file is further adjusted based on the optimized parameter values ​​of one or more of the said feature parameters. The step of adjusting the multimedia file can be performed by the application's keep-alive module. First, the parameter type is determined for the target feature parameter, wherein the target feature parameter is a feature parameter among one or more of the said feature parameters whose current parameter value does not match the corresponding set reference range; further, there are two methods for adjusting the multimedia file:

[0046] The first method: When there are one or more target feature parameters, and the parameter type of any of the target feature parameters indicates an attribute feature, a new multimedia file is generated based on the optimized parameter values ​​of the target feature parameters and the multimedia file.

[0047] Specifically, when the multimedia file is an audio file, the parameter type corresponding to the attribute feature is one or more of the following: audio sampling rate, audio sampling bit depth, number of audio channels, audio amplitude, audio duration, and audio format. If it is determined that any target feature parameter to be optimized is an attribute feature, the existing multimedia file can be deleted, and a new multimedia file can be generated. The new multimedia file contains feature parameters corresponding to each attribute feature with optimized parameter values. For example, if the target feature parameters to be optimized are audio sampling rate and audio sampling bit depth, the new multimedia file contains an audio sampling rate of 4000Hz (i.e., the optimized parameter value) and an audio sampling bit depth of 8 bits (i.e., the optimized parameter value). The optimization of the audio sampling bit depth is related to the sampling bit depth supported by the system. Preferably, the application's keep-alive module can automatically determine the audio sampling bit depth supported by the system before optimizing the audio sampling bit depth. If it is determined that the system can support 8 bits, the audio sampling bit depth is changed to the optimized parameter value of 8 bits; otherwise, the minimum audio sampling bit depth supported by the system is used, thereby saving resource consumption.

[0048] During the iterative update of one or more feature parameters, the new multimedia file can inherit other feature parameters from the original multimedia file. These other feature parameters are those other than the target feature parameter to be optimized. For example, parameters contained in other audio files besides the target feature parameter. Furthermore, the step of generating a multimedia file containing the various optimized parameter values ​​can be executed through code contained in the application's keep-alive module.

[0049] The second method: When there are one or more target feature parameters, and the parameter type of all target feature parameters indicates playback features, the current parameter value corresponding to the target feature parameter in the multimedia file is changed to the optimized reference value.

[0050] Specifically, when the multimedia file is an audio file, the parameter type corresponding to the playback feature is one or more of playback volume and playback interval. When the parameter type of the target feature parameter to be optimized indicates playback feature, optimization and update can be performed directly based on the existing multimedia file. For example, MediaPlayer.setVolume(0f,0f) can be used to update the current parameter value of playback volume from 2 to the optimized parameter value of 0; the Handler.postDelayed(mActionPlay,55000) method can be used to update the current parameter value of playback interval from 10s to the optimized parameter value of 55s, etc.

[0051] Furthermore, it can be understood that when there are one or more target feature parameters, and the parameter type of the target feature parameters indicates both attribute features and playback features, that is, when the multiple target feature parameters include both attribute features and playback features, a new multimedia file can be generated first according to the steps described in the first method, and then the steps of the second method can be performed based on the new multimedia file.

[0052] Step S103: Based on the optimized parameter values, run the adjusted multimedia file to keep the application alive.

[0053] Specifically, a multimedia file containing optimized parameter values ​​is run to keep the application alive.

[0054] Preferably, a file execution process is set for the multimedia file, which can be started when the application starts; wherein, the file execution process can be a dedicated process for running multimedia, thereby improving the reliability and stability of running multimedia files, and thus improving the application's keep-alive effect.

[0055] Furthermore, running the adjusted multimedia file includes: using the file running process to monitor the running status of the multimedia file, and rerunning the multimedia file when the running status of the multimedia file is detected to be abnormal. The file running process can be started when the application starts.

[0056] Furthermore, the application's main process manages the file execution process; when the main process detects that the file execution process is in a non-running state, it restarts the file execution process to a running state, thereby running the multimedia file. Specifically, by monitoring the file execution process through the application's main process, and restarting the file execution process when it is in a non-running state (e.g., inactive or stopped), the application maintains the normal operation of the multimedia file, further improving the reliability and stability of running multimedia files, and thus enhancing the application's keep-alive effect.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a process for managing applications, which may include the following steps:

[0058] Step S201: Begin.

[0059] Step S202: Determine whether the multimedia file has been located. If yes, proceed to step S203; otherwise, proceed to step S207.

[0060] Step S203: Optimize and analyze the current parameter values ​​of one or more feature parameters of the multimedia file.

[0061] Step S204: Determine whether optimization is needed based on the analysis results. If yes, proceed to step S205; otherwise, proceed to step S208.

[0062] Step S205: If the number of target feature parameters is one or more, and the parameter type of any of the target feature parameters indicates an attribute feature, a new multimedia file is generated based on the optimized parameter values ​​of the target feature parameters and the multimedia file.

[0063] Step S206: When there are one or more target feature parameters, and the parameter type of all target feature parameters indicates playback features, change the current parameter value corresponding to the target feature parameter in the multimedia file to the set reference value.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, the execution order of steps S205 and S206 is merely an example. If it is not necessary to optimize the target feature parameters of the attribute features, only step S206 is executed. If it is necessary to optimize both the attribute features and the target feature parameters of the playback features, step S205 is executed first to generate a new multimedia file, and then step S206 is executed based on the new multimedia file.

[0065] Step S207: Generate a new multimedia file. The new multimedia file includes optimized parameter values ​​corresponding to one or more feature parameters; based on the optimized parameter values, run the adjusted multimedia file to keep the application alive.

[0066] Step S208: End.

[0067] The method for optimizing the current parameter values ​​of one or more feature parameters of the multimedia file and optimizing one or more feature parameters based on the analysis results is consistent with the description of steps S101-S103, and will not be repeated here.
