Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, and more particularly to a method and related apparatus for implementing virtualization. Background Technology

[0002] An operating system (OS) is a computer program that manages computer hardware and software. Common operating systems include Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Each operating system has compatible applications, which can only be used normally on the compatible operating system. In order to enable applications to be used normally on incompatible operating systems, application virtualization technology has emerged. This technology decouples applications from the operating system, thereby providing a virtual running environment for applications.

[0003] A system that implements application virtualization technology can be called an application virtualization system. The architecture of an application virtualization system is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a client, a server, and a management console. The number of clients and servers can be set according to actual needs. Figure 1 The example illustrates a client and a server scenario. The client's operating system and the server's operating system are different. The first application running on the client's operating system and the second application running on the server's operating system are both connected to the management terminal. The first application and the second application establish a communication connection based on a remote application connection protocol. If a user needs to use an application that is incompatible with the client's operating system, they must first notify the administrator. The administrator will then install and publish the application on the server's operating system that is compatible with the application through the management terminal. The user can then use the published application after discovering it through the management terminal using the first application. If an application that is incompatible with the client's operating system needs to be removed, the process is similar to publishing the application.

[0004] In the above-mentioned application virtualization implementation method, users cannot independently install, publish, or remove applications that are not compatible with the client's operating system. These operations need to be performed by the administrator. If there are multiple clients, the administrator cannot handle each operation in a timely manner, which will seriously affect the operating efficiency of the application and thus reduce the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a method and related apparatus for implementing application virtualization, in order to solve the problem in the prior art that seriously affects the operating efficiency of applications and thus reduces the user experience.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for implementing application virtualization is provided, which is applied to a first application running on a first operating system of a client in an application virtualization system. The application virtualization system further includes a server, wherein the first operating system is different from a second operating system of the server, and a communication connection is established between the first application and a second application running on the second operating system based on a remote application connection protocol. The method includes:

[0007] After detecting an open request for a first initial executable file of a third application that is locally stored and adapted to the second operating system, it is determined whether the type of the first initial executable file is a set type;

[0008] If it is determined that the type of the first initial executable file is the set type, then the opening method of the first initial executable file is determined to be the fourth application adapted to the second operating system, and the first shortcut of the fourth application is saved in the list of installed applications;

[0009] The local storage path of the first initial executable file is converted into the path format of the second operating system to obtain the first remote storage path;

[0010] The communication connection sends an open request carrying the first remote storage path to the second application, so that the second application calls the fourth application to obtain the first initial executable file based on the first remote storage path, determines whether the first initial executable file needs to be installed, and if it is determined that the first initial executable file does not need to be installed, then the first initial executable file is run, and the first running information is sent to the first application through the communication connection; if it is determined that the first initial executable file needs to be installed, then the first initial executable file is installed to obtain the first installed executable file, and after running the first installed executable file, the second running information is sent to the first application through the communication connection.

[0011] If the first running information or the second running information is received through the communication connection, it is then rendered and displayed based on the first running information or the second running information.

[0012] Optional, also includes:

[0013] After detecting an open request for the second shortcut in the list of installed applications, the second remote storage path corresponding to the second shortcut is obtained from the list of installed applications. The second remote storage path and the second shortcut are added to the list of installed applications after the second application has installed the second initial executable file of the fifth application corresponding to the second shortcut to obtain the second installation executable file and stored it.

[0014] The second application sends an open request carrying the second remote storage path through the communication connection, so that the second application calls the fourth application to obtain the second installation executable file based on the second remote storage path and runs it, and sends the third running information to the first application through the communication connection;

[0015] If the third operating information is received through the communication connection, then rendering and display are performed based on the third operating information.

[0016] Optional, also includes:

[0017] After detecting a removal request for the third shortcut in the list of installed applications, the third remote storage path corresponding to the third shortcut is obtained from the list of installed applications. The third remote storage path and the third shortcut are added to the list of installed applications after the second application installs the third initial executable file of the sixth application corresponding to the third shortcut to obtain the third installation executable file and stores it.

[0018] The second application sends a removal request carrying the third remote storage path through the communication connection, so that the second application calls the fourth application to obtain the third installation executable file based on the third remote storage path and deletes it, removes the third shortcut from the list of installed applications and synchronizes it with the first application;

[0019] If the second application receives a list of installed applications that have deleted the third shortcut via the communication connection, then the list of installed applications that have deleted the third shortcut is displayed.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for implementing application virtualization is also provided, which is applied to a second application running on a second operating system of an application virtualization system server. The application virtualization system further includes a client, wherein the second operating system is different from the first operating system of the client, and the second application establishes a communication connection with a first application running on the first operating system based on a remote application connection protocol. The method includes:

[0021] The communication connection receives an open request carrying a first remote storage path sent by the first application. The fourth application is invoked to obtain a first initial executable file based on the first remote storage path. The open request carrying the first remote storage path is sent after the first application detects an open request for the first initial executable file of a third application that is local storage and adapted to the second operating system, determines that the type of the first initial executable file is the set type, determines that the opening method of the first initial executable file is the fourth application adapted to the second operating system, converts the local storage path of the first initial executable file into the path format of the second operating system, and saves the first shortcut of the fourth application in the list of installed applications.

[0022] Determine whether the first initial executable file needs to be installed;

[0023] If it is determined that the first initial executable file does not need to be installed, then the first initial executable file is run, and the first running information is sent to the first application through the communication connection, so that the first application renders and displays based on the first running information;

[0024] If it is determined that the first initial executable file needs to be installed, then the first initial executable file is installed to obtain the first installation executable file. After running the first installation executable file, the second running information is sent to the first application through the communication connection so that the first application renders and displays based on the second running information.

[0025] Optional, also includes:

[0026] The communication connection receives an open request carrying a second remote storage path sent by the first application. The fourth application is then invoked to obtain and run a second installation executable file based on the second remote storage path. The open request carrying the second remote storage path is sent by the first application after detecting an open request for a second shortcut in the list of installed applications and obtaining the second remote storage path corresponding to the second shortcut from the list of installed applications. The second remote storage path and the second shortcut are added to the list of installed applications after the second application has installed the second initial executable file of the fifth application corresponding to the second shortcut, obtained the second installation executable file, stored it, and then added it to the list of installed applications.

[0027] The third runtime information is sent to the first application through the communication connection, so that the first application can render and display based on the third runtime information.

[0028] Optional, also includes:

[0029] The communication connection receives a removal request carrying a third remote storage path from the first application. The fourth application then retrieves and deletes the third installation executable file based on the third remote storage path. The removal request carrying the third remote storage path is sent by the first application after detecting a removal request for the third shortcut in the list of installed applications and retrieving the third remote storage path corresponding to the third shortcut from the list of installed applications. The third remote storage path and the third shortcut are added to the list of installed applications after the second application installs the third initial executable file of the sixth application corresponding to the third shortcut, obtains the third installation executable file, stores it, and then adds it to the list of installed applications.

[0030] The third shortcut is deleted from the list of installed applications and synchronized to the first application via the communication connection, so that the first application displays the list of installed applications with the third shortcut deleted.

[0060] This invention provides a method and related apparatus for implementing application virtualization. After detecting an open request for a first initial executable file of a third application stored locally and adapted to a second operating system, the method determines whether the type of the first initial executable file is a specified type. If the type of the first initial executable file is determined to be the specified type, the method for opening the first initial executable file is determined to be a fourth application adapted to the second operating system, and a first shortcut of the fourth application is stored in the list of installed applications. The local storage path of the first initial executable file is converted to the path format of the second operating system to obtain a first remote storage path. An open request carrying the first remote storage path is sent to the second application through the communication connection. The second application invokes the fourth application to retrieve the first initial executable file based on the first remote storage path. It determines whether the first initial executable file needs to be installed. If it is determined that the first initial executable file does not need to be installed, it runs the first initial executable file and sends first running information to the first application via the communication connection. If it is determined that the first initial executable file needs to be installed, it installs the first initial executable file to obtain a first installed executable file. After running the first installed executable file, it sends second running information to the first application via the communication connection. If either the first running information or the second running information is received via the communication connection, it is rendered and displayed based on either the first running information or the second running information. In this solution, for a third application stored locally and adapted to the second operating system, the user can directly issue an open request, opening the third application through the fourth application of the second operating system. The user is unaware that the opening process of the third application requires the participation of the fourth application of the second operating system. For the user, this allows for autonomous opening of a third application stored locally and adapted to the second operating system without the need for an administrator, thereby greatly improving the operational efficiency of the application and significantly enhancing the user experience.

[0067] To address the problem of existing technologies severely impacting application operation efficiency and thus reducing user experience, this invention provides an application virtualization implementation method. This method is applied to a first application running on a first operating system on the client side of the application virtualization system and a second application running on a second operating system on the server side of the application virtualization system. The first and second operating systems are different, and a communication connection is established between the first and second applications based on a remote application connection protocol. The implementation method of application virtualization is described below using the first and second applications as the execution entities. The first and second operating systems can be, but are not limited to, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, etc. For example, during the migration and transition of domestic IT innovation services, i.e., from Windows to the domestically developed Linux operating system, applications adapted to both Windows and Linux coexist. In this case, the first operating system is Linux, and the second operating system is Windows.

[0068] First, we introduce the implementation method of application virtualization with the first application as the execution subject. The process of this method is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the execution steps are as follows:

[0069] S21: After detecting an open request for a first initial executable file of a third application that is local storage and adapted to a second operating system, determine whether the type of the first initial executable file is the set type.

[0070] For example, if the first operating system is Linux and the second operating system is Windows, and the user needs to use an application that is locally stored and adapted to the Windows operating system, they can directly double-click the first initial executable file of the application. Here, the opening request is double-clicking, but other methods are also possible, which will not be elaborated here.

[0071] After receiving an open request for the first initial executable file, it is also necessary to determine whether the type of the first initial executable file is a configuration type. The configuration type can be determined based on the operating system type. For example, for Windows operating systems, the configuration type can be, but is not limited to, executable files with the .exe or .msi extension.

[0072] S22: If it is determined that the type of the first initial executable file is a setting type, then the opening mode of the first initial executable file is determined to be a fourth application adapted to the second operating system.

[0073] In other words, if it is determined that the type of the first initial executable file is a specified type, then a fourth application adapted to the second operating system can be used to open the first initial executable file. For example, the executable file of the Office software can be opened using the Microsoft Word software.

[0074] To ensure that the fourth application can be selected to open the first initial executable file, a shortcut to the fourth application needs to be saved in the list of installed applications.

[0075] S23: Convert the local storage path of the first initial executable file into the path format of the second operating system to obtain the first remote storage path.

[0076] Since the first operating system and the second operating system are different, their path formats are also different. Therefore, it is necessary to convert the local storage path of the first initial executable file into the path format of the second operating system to obtain the first remote storage path.

[0077] For example, the $HOME directory in the Linux operating system is mapped to the disk drive letter X in the Windows operating system. The local storage path of a.exe ($HOME / Desktop / a.exe) can be converted into the path format of the Windows operating system to obtain the first remote storage path (X:\Desktop\a.exe).

[0078] S24: Send an open request carrying the first remote storage path to the second application via a communication connection, so that the second application calls the fourth application to obtain the first initial executable file based on the first remote storage path, determines whether the first initial executable file needs to be installed, and if it is determined that the first initial executable file does not need to be installed, then the first initial executable file is run, and the first running information is sent to the first application via the communication connection; if it is determined that the first initial executable file needs to be installed, then the first initial executable file is installed to obtain the first installed executable file, and after running the first installed executable file, the second running information is sent to the first application via the communication connection.

[0079] After the first application sends an open request carrying the first remote storage path to the second application via a communication connection, the second application calls the fourth application to obtain the first initial executable file based on the first remote storage path. Since executable files can be divided into two categories: those that need to be installed and those that do not, it can be further determined whether the first initial executable file needs to be installed. If it is determined that the first initial executable file does not need to be installed, the first initial executable file is run, and the first running information is sent to the first application via a communication connection. If it is determined that the first initial executable file needs to be installed, the first initial executable file is installed to obtain the first installed executable file. After running the first installed executable file, the second running information is sent to the first application via a communication connection.

[0080] S25: If first running information or second running information is received through the communication connection, then the information is rendered and displayed based on the first running information or second running information.

[0081] After receiving the first or second running information, the first application first needs to render the information based on the first or second running information before displaying it. The user can then see the running result after double-clicking the first initial executable file, which appears to the user as if the first initial executable file is running locally.

[0082] In this solution, for a third application that is stored locally and adapted to the second operating system, the user can directly send an open request, and the third application will be opened through a fourth application of the second operating system. The user is unaware that the opening process of the third application requires the participation of the fourth application of the second operating system. For the user, it is possible to open the third application that is stored locally and adapted to the second operating system independently without the need for the administrator, thereby greatly improving the operating efficiency of the application and the user experience.

[0083] Optionally, the above methods also include:

[0084] After detecting an open request for the second shortcut in the list of installed applications, the second remote storage path corresponding to the second shortcut is obtained from the list of installed applications. The second remote storage path and the second shortcut are added to the list of installed applications after the second application has installed the second initial executable file of the fifth application corresponding to the second shortcut, obtained the second installation executable file, stored it, and then added to the list of installed applications.

[0085] The second application sends an open request carrying the second remote storage path through the communication connection, so that the second application calls the fourth application to obtain and run the second installation executable file based on the second remote storage path, and sends the third running information to the first application through the communication connection.

[0086] If third-party runtime information is received via a communication connection, then rendering and display will be performed based on that third-party runtime information.

[0087] The installed application list stores applications installed on local storage that are compatible with the second operating system. When a user needs to use these applications, for example, when a user uses a file with the .doc extension, the shortcut corresponding to the .doc file in the installed application list will be requested to open. At this time, the first application will detect the request to open the shortcut, and then retrieve the second remote storage path corresponding to the shortcut from the installed application list. The second remote storage path and the second shortcut are added to the installed application list after the second application installs the second initial executable file of the fifth application corresponding to the second shortcut, obtains the second installed executable file, and stores it. Then, the second application sends an open request carrying the second remote storage path to the second application through a communication connection, so that the second application calls the fourth application to retrieve the second installed executable file based on the second remote storage path and runs it. The third running information is sent to the first application through the communication connection. If the third running information is received through the communication connection, it is rendered and displayed based on the third running information. The user can then view the file with the .doc extension and perform corresponding operations.

[0088] Optionally, the above methods also include:

[0089] After detecting a removal request for the third shortcut in the list of installed applications, the third remote storage path corresponding to the third shortcut is obtained from the list of installed applications. The third remote storage path and the third shortcut are added to the list of installed applications after the second application installs the third initial executable file of the sixth application corresponding to the third shortcut to obtain the third installation executable file and stores it.

[0090] The application sends a removal request carrying a third remote storage path to the second application via a communication connection, so that the second application calls the fourth application to obtain the third installation executable file based on the third remote storage path and delete it, remove the third shortcut from the list of installed applications and synchronize it with the first application;

[0091] If a list of installed applications with deleted third shortcuts is received from the second application via the communication connection, the list of installed applications with deleted third shortcuts will be displayed.

[0092] The installed application list stores applications installed on local storage that are compatible with the second operating system. When a user no longer uses these applications—for example, when a user no longer uses files with the .doc extension—the shortcuts corresponding to those files in the installed application list will be required to be removed. At this time, the first application detects the removal request for that shortcut and retrieves the third remote storage path corresponding to the third shortcut from the installed application list. This third remote storage path and the third shortcut are added to the installed application list after the second application installs the third initial executable file of the sixth application corresponding to the third shortcut, obtains the third installation executable file, and stores it. The removal request carrying the third remote storage path is sent to the second application via a communication connection, causing the second application to call the fourth application to retrieve the third installation executable file based on the third remote storage path and delete it. The third shortcut is then removed from the installed application list and synchronized with the first application. If the first application receives the synchronized installed application list with the deleted third shortcut from the second application via the communication connection, it displays the list of installed applications with the deleted third shortcut. The user will no longer see the shortcuts corresponding to files with the .doc extension in the installed application list.

[0093] The above describes the implementation method of application virtualization with the first application as the execution subject, which allows users to independently install, publish, and remove applications that are not compatible with the client's operating system. The following describes the implementation method of application virtualization with the second application as the execution subject. The flow of this method is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the execution steps are as follows:

[0094] S31: Receive an open request carrying a first remote storage path sent by the first application through a communication connection, and call the fourth application to obtain the first initial executable file based on the first remote storage path.

[0095] Specifically, the request to open the first remote storage path is sent by the first application after detecting the request to open the first initial executable file of the third application that is local storage and adapted to the second operating system, determining that the type of the first initial executable file is a set type, determining that the opening method of the first initial executable file is a fourth application adapted to the second operating system, converting the local storage path of the first initial executable file into the path format of the second operating system, and the first shortcut of the fourth application is saved in the list of installed applications.

[0096] S32: Determine whether the first initial executable file needs to be installed. If it is determined that the first initial executable file does not need to be installed, then execute S33; if it is determined that the first initial executable file needs to be installed, then execute S34.

[0097] S33: Run the first initial executable file and send the first running information to the first application through the communication connection so that the first application renders and displays the content based on the first running information.
