[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0029] To facilitate understanding, the application scenarios involved in the embodiments of the present application are first introduced.

[0030] At present, the configuration information of applications mainly includes two categories: one is the permission information of applications to access the device, such as camera, location, microphone, contacts, notifications and other permissions; the other is some personalized settings information of users, such as whether to allow the use of traffic to improve the WiFi network environment, the volume of the application on the electronic device, the default search engine of the application, whether the application is added to the game box by default, whether the application turns on the driving mode by default, etc.

[0031] With the popularity of electronic devices, users use applications in electronic devices for shopping, social networking, payment, entertainment and other activities in their daily lives. These applications usually require users to grant specific permissions in order to access resources on the device such as camera, location, contacts and other permissions. In the related art, when a user uses an application for the first time, they need to manually grant these permissions one by one. For example, when a user uses a shopping application for online shopping for the first time, they need to grant the shopping application permissions to access the camera, location, microphone, etc. When the user downloads and opens another similar shopping application for the first time, the above permission granting process needs to be repeated, which not only increases the user's operating burden, but also reduces the user's experience.

[0032] In addition to the permission information for applications to access the device, the application also has some personalized settings, such as whether to allow the use of traffic to improve the WiFi network environment, the volume of the application on the device, whether the application turns on the driving mode by default, etc. Users often need to use the same configuration when using similar applications. Due to the wide variety of personalized settings, many options will only pop up in specific scenarios for users to choose. For example, the driving mode requires connecting to the car's Bluetooth while driving to make the function options appear. When the user changes to a new application, a prompt will appear when the new application is started for the first time, which will affect the user's driving of the vehicle. In addition, if the user makes a mistake in the selection page and chooses not to turn on the driving mode, some menu paths are long, and it is cumbersome to find this switch later.

[0033] It can be seen that in the related art, since the user needs to manually input the configuration information of each application, the operation is cumbersome, resulting in poor convenience in application management of the electronic device. In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an application management method, device and electronic device.

[0034] The application management method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] It should be noted that the application management method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applicable to electronic devices. In actual applications, the electronic devices may include: mobile terminals such as smart phones, tablet computers, personal digital assistants, or may also include: servers, computer equipment, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0036] Figure 1 is a flow chart of an application management method provided by an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps: step 101, step 102 and step 103;

[0037] In step 101, a first application and a second application matching the first application are determined.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the first application may be any application program installed in the electronic device.

[0039] In some embodiments, for the first application, the above step 101 may include the following steps: step 1011;

[0040] In step 1011, the application started for the first time is determined as the first application; wherein the second configuration information at least includes permission information for the application to access the device.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, considering that when an application is started for the first time, that is, when a user uses the application for the first time, a notification will usually pop up to prompt the user to set configuration information, especially a notification will pop up to prompt the user to set permissions for the application to access the device. In order to avoid the user manually entering the above configuration information, the application that is started for the first time is determined as the first application.

[0042] In some embodiments, for the first application, the above step 101 may include the following steps: step 1012;

[0043] In step 1012, a first input to a first icon on the desktop is received, and in response to the first input, an application corresponding to the first icon is determined as a first application.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the user may select the first application from the applications installed in the electronic device. To facilitate the user's selection, the user may be supported to select the first application based on the application icon displayed on the desktop of the electronic device.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the first input is used to select an application icon of the first application.

[0046] In actual applications, the first input includes but is not limited to: long press input, sliding input, moving input, etc.

[0047] It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present application, the first application can be determined in a variety of ways. For example, it can be determined automatically by the electronic device or based on the user's operation, which is highly flexible.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the second application is an application program in the electronic device for which all or part of the configuration information has been set.

[0049] In some embodiments, for the second application, the above step 101 may include the following steps: step 1013, step 1014 and step 1015;

[0050] In step 1013, similar applications among the installed applications are determined, the functional similarity between the first application and the first application being higher than a first threshold.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, considering that for the same user, the configuration information of two applications with similar functions is also relatively close, for example, the electronic device is installed with shopping application A and shopping application B. Since the two shopping applications are the same type of applications, the user's configuration requirements for shopping application A and shopping application B are usually the same. Therefore, similar applications whose functional similarity with the first application is higher than a first threshold are determined from the installed applications.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, big data analysis and classification can be used to determine similar applications from the installed applications whose functional similarity with the first application is higher than a first threshold.

[0053] In step 1014 , when the number of similar applications is 1, the similar application is determined as a second application matching the first application.

[0054] In step 1015 , when the number of similar applications is greater than 1, the similar application with the highest usage frequency is determined as the second application.

[0055] For example, the number of similar applications is 5, and the similar application with the highest usage frequency among the 5 similar applications is determined as the second application.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the frequency of application usage can intuitively reflect the user's usage habits of the application, the higher the frequency of application usage, the more the user likes to use this application. Therefore, the similar application with the highest frequency of use is determined as the second application, which is more in line with the user's expectations.

[0057] It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present application, with the development of the device ecology, there are more and more applications, and there are also many similar applications. When users use similar applications, they often have the same usage habits. These habits correspond to the device's permission authorization and some personalized configurations. Unifying the permissions and personalized settings of devices with similar applications can improve the user experience.

[0058] In some embodiments, for the second application, the above step 101 may include the following steps: step 1016;

[0059] In step 1016, a second input to a second icon on the desktop is received, and in response to the second input, an application corresponding to the second icon is determined as a second application.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can select the second application from the applications installed in the electronic device and configured with configuration information. To facilitate the user's selection, the user can be supported to select the second application based on the application icon displayed on the desktop of the electronic device.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the second input is used to select an application icon of a second application.

[0062] In actual applications, the second input includes but is not limited to: long press input, sliding input, moving input, etc.

[0063] It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present application, the second application matching the first application can be determined in a variety of ways. For example, it can be determined automatically by the electronic device or based on the user's operation, which is highly flexible.

[0064] In step 102, first configuration information of the second application is obtained; wherein the first configuration information includes at least one of the following: permission information for the application to access the device and personalized setting information.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, considering that the configuration information of applications in electronic devices is usually stored in a specific path or a specific database, for example, the personalized setting information of an application is stored in the "switch list" database of the application, such as the lightweight storage class SharedPreferences, the first configuration information of the second application can be obtained from a specific path or a specific database.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, by standardizing the meaning of each value in the database, similar applications use the same field to save corresponding functions. Since different applications use the same database to store the "switch" options of similar functions, the device system has the authority to view and write related values, so the same functions of similar applications can be copied.

[0067] In step 103, second configuration information of the first application is set according to the first configuration information; wherein the second configuration information includes at least one of the following: permission information for the application to access the device and personalized setting information.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the second configuration information may be completely the same as the first configuration information, or may be partially the same.

[0069] In some embodiments, the above step 103 may include the following steps: step 1031, step 1032 and step 1033;

[0070] In step 1031, a first configuration interface is displayed according to the first configuration information, wherein the first configuration interface includes: a plurality of different first controls, each first control corresponding to a sub-configuration information in the first configuration information.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, taking into account that the first configuration information usually contains multiple sub-configuration information, for example, the application accesses the camera on the device, the application accesses the microphone on the device, and the application accesses the location on the device, which are three different sub-configuration information respectively, in order to facilitate the user to independently choose which configuration information the electronic device automatically sets for the first application, the first configuration interface can be displayed based on the first configuration information, and the detailed sub-configuration information of the first configuration information can be displayed on the first configuration interface.

[0072] In step 1032, a third input to at least one first control is received, and in response to the third input, target sub-configuration information corresponding to the first control selected by the third input is determined.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the third input is used to select the first control. The third input can select one first control, or can select two or more first controls.

[0074] In actual applications, the third input includes but is not limited to: long press input, click input, sliding input, etc.

[0075] In step 1033, the target sub-configuration information is set as the second configuration information of the first application.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the target sub-configuration information may be all information of the first configuration information, or may be part of the first configuration information. When the target sub-configuration information is all information of the first configuration information, the configuration information of the first application is completely identical to the configuration information of the second application. When the target sub-configuration information is part of the first configuration information, the configuration information of the first application is not completely identical to the configuration information of the second application.

[0077] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, an intuitive configuration interface can be displayed, and the user can independently select on the configuration interface which configuration information the electronic device automatically sets for the first application, which can meet the user's personalized needs and is relatively flexible.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first configuration interface may further include a second control; the provided application management method may further include the following steps after the above step 1032: step 104;

[0079] In step 104, a fourth input to the second control is received, and in response to the fourth input, the remaining configuration information other than the target sub-configuration information in the first configuration information is determined; permissions corresponding to the target configuration information of the second application are retained, and permissions corresponding to the remaining configuration information of the second application are closed.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the fourth input is used to operate the second control.

[0081] In actual applications, the fourth input includes but is not limited to: long press input, click input, sliding input, etc.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, if the first application only sets part of the configuration information of the second application, the electronic device will also cancel the configuration information of the second application that is not set by the first application to achieve synchronization of the configuration information of the second application with that of the first application.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, if the user selects all first controls in the first configuration interface through the third input, all configuration information of the second application is set as the configuration information of the first application. If the user selects some first controls in the first configuration interface through the third input, but does not make a fourth input for the second controls, only part of the configuration information of the second application is set as the configuration information of the first application. If the user selects some first controls in the first configuration interface through the third input and makes a fourth input for the second controls, part of the configuration information of the second application is set as the configuration information of the first application, and the configuration information of the second application that is not set by the first application is cancelled.

[0084] For example, the first application is a shopping application A, and the second application is a shopping application B. For example, the configuration information is the permission for the application to access the device. When the user installs and opens the shopping application A for the first time, the electronic device detects that the shopping application A is started for the first time, such as Figure 2 As shown, the homepage 21 of the shopping application A is displayed on the electronic device 20. The electronic device 20 analyzes and classifies big data in the background to detect a similar application "shopping application B" that has been installed and used by the electronic device, and analyzes and detects the first configuration information set by the user for the shopping application B, wherein the first configuration information includes: allowing access to the device's location, allowing access to the device's camera, and allowing access to the device's address book.

[0085] The electronic device 22 displays the first configuration interface 22 according to the first configuration information; wherein the first configuration interface 22 includes: a first control 23, a first control 24, a first control 25 and a second control 26, wherein the first control 23 corresponds to the sub-configuration information "allow access to the device's location" in the first configuration information, the second control 24 corresponds to the sub-configuration information "allow access to the device's camera" in the first configuration information, the first control 25 corresponds to the sub-configuration information "allow access to the device's address book" in the first configuration information, and the second control 26 corresponds to the function of "whether to synchronously close some permissions of shopping application B". The second control 26 is suitable for users who do not want to continue to grant some permissions to shopping application B and want to close the permissions already granted by similar applications.

[0086] Typically, each first control in the first configuration interface 22 is in a "checked √" state by default, and the second control 26 is in an "unchecked ×" state by default, and the user can choose to agree or reject. Figure 3 As shown, when the user selects the first control 23, the first control 25 and the second control 26, the electronic device 20 will set the shopping application A to allow access to the device's location and address book, and close the shopping application B's permission to access the device's camera. If the user clicks "Cancel" in the first configuration interface 22, the first configuration interface 22 will be exited and the normal single permission authorization page will be entered.

[0087] It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present application, for applications that need to be managed, the electronic device can automatically detect whether applications of similar categories have been installed and used, and recommend to the user whether to copy the corresponding permissions and personalized information, so that the user does not need to repeatedly grant the same permissions and personalized information in different applications, thereby improving consistency and ensuring that users have consistent permissions and personalized settings in similar applications.

[0088] In some embodiments, the above step 103 may include the following steps: step 1034, step 1035 and step 1036;

[0089] In step 1034 , identical configuration items of the first application and the second application are determined.

[0090] For example, the configuration items of the first application include: whether to allow access to the camera, whether to allow access to the microphone, and whether to allow the driving mode to be turned on; the configuration items of the second application include: whether to allow access to the camera, whether to allow access to the microphone, and whether to allow the automatic volume adjustment mode to be turned on. At this time, the same configuration items of the first application and the second application include: whether to allow access to the camera and whether to allow access to the microphone.

[0091] In step 1035, sub-configuration information corresponding to the same configuration item in the first configuration information is determined.

[0092] In step 1036, the sub-configuration information corresponding to the same configuration item is set as the second configuration information of the first application.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, only the access device permission information and personalized setting information shared by the first application and the second application in the first configuration information of the second application will be set as the configuration information of the first application, without involving differentiated functions or permissions.

[0094] For example, Figure 4As shown, multiple application icons are displayed on the desktop 41 of the electronic device 40, which are respectively an icon of application 1, an icon of application 2, an icon of application 3, an icon of application 4, an icon of application 5, and an icon of application 6. The first application is application 1, and the second application is application 2. The user drags application 1 and application 2 to the top status bar position 42 of the desktop 41 in sequence. If the control 43 is checked, the permission authorization list and personalized setting information of application 2 can be set as the configuration information of application 1 with one click.

[0095] Taking into account that the number of application authorization permissions and personalized settings is increasing, when a user uses a new application, these personalized settings will be cumbersome, and the setting paths may be scattered in various places. In the embodiment of the present application, the user can perform a simple drag operation on the desktop of the electronic device to quickly copy the above configuration information from one application to another application with one click, without the need for the user to manually enter them one by one. The operation is relatively simple, which improves the convenience of application management in the electronic device.

[0096] As can be seen from the above embodiments, in this embodiment, a first application and a second application matching the first application are determined; first configuration information of the second application is obtained, wherein the first configuration information and the second configuration information each include at least one of the following: permission information and personalized setting information for the application to access the device; based on the first configuration information, the second configuration information of the first application is set, without the need for the user to manually input the configuration information of each application, thereby achieving the effect of automatically copying the device access permissions and personalized settings granted by the user in one application to another application, thereby improving the convenience of application management in the electronic device.
