[0022] It is understandable that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and relevant provisions.

[0023] It is understandable that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the types, scope of use, usage scenarios, etc. of the personal information involved in the present disclosure should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

[0024] For example, in response to receiving an active request from a user, a prompt message is sent to the user to clearly prompt the user that the operation requested to be performed will require obtaining and using the user's personal information. Thus, the user can autonomously choose whether to provide personal information to software or hardware such as an electronic device, application, server, or storage medium that performs the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure according to the prompt message.

[0025] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to receiving an active request from the user, the prompt information may be sent to the user in the form of a pop-up window, in which the prompt information may be presented in text form. In addition, the pop-up window may also carry a selection control for the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0026] It is understandable that the above notification and the process of obtaining user authorization are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of the present disclosure. Other methods that meet the relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of the present disclosure.

[0027] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein, which are instead provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects, unless explicitly stated. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0029] For online application recommendations, in order to improve the recommendation effect and optimize the recommendation process, it is necessary to determine whether the source of the recommended application download event is the current recommendation platform (which can be called a media application), other recommendation platforms, or natural user downloads. Traditionally, after the recommended application is downloaded and activated, the user's device ID is collected through the recommendation application, and the bilateral matching result between the device ID and the device ID of the recommendation platform is used to determine whether the download event originated from the recommendation platform. However, due to restrictions in user settings, privacy permissions, etc., the recommendation application is often unable to collect the device ID, resulting in a low collection rate of the device ID, which in turn makes it impossible to accurately determine the source of the download event.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a user clicks on recommended content on a media page, a click identifier corresponding to the recommended content is broadcast to the system and saved in the database of the media application. After the recommended application is downloaded and installed, the software development kit of the recommended application is first used to determine whether the recommended application is a jump from a media application to the recommended application. In the case where the recommended application is started by jumping from a non-media application, the click identifier is obtained simultaneously in the following two ways: when there is a broadcast in the system, the click identifier is read from the broadcast; when the media application is in the background, the click identifier is read from the database of the media application. Then, after the click identifier is read in any of the above methods, the click identifier is uploaded to the server, and the server determines that the download source of the recommended application is the media application based on the click identifier.

[0031] In this way, the recommendation application can obtain the click identifier from the system broadcast or the database of the media application through the software development kit, without having to read the device ID from the device, thus avoiding the situation where the device ID cannot be read due to user settings, privacy permissions and other issues, and improving the success rate of click identifier collection and the privacy security of the device. In addition, in the case of not jumping directly from the media application to the recommendation application, the click identifier is obtained through the system broadcast or the database of the media application at the same time, which improves the accuracy of the click identifier and the adaptability of obtaining the click identifier in different scenarios. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the success rate of obtaining the click identifier and the accuracy of determining the download source.

[0032] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 is shown in which some embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented. Figure 1 , the environment 100 may include an electronic device 106, a media application server 102, and a recommendation application server 136. In some embodiments, the electronic device 106 may be configured as a user terminal, a mobile device, a computer, etc., a device system 118 is running in the electronic device 106, and the media application 108 and the recommendation application 122 are both running in the software environment of the device system 118. The media application server 102 and the recommendation application server 136 may be configured as a computing system, a single server, a distributed server, or a cloud-based server, etc.

[0033] Continue to refer Figure 1, the media application server 102 determines the recommended content for the user 140 and generates a unique click identifier indicating the recommended content, and then executes sending the recommended content and click identifier 104, and sends the recommended content and click identifier to the electronic device 106 of the user 140. The media application 108 in the electronic device 106 can execute displaying the recommended content 110 on the media page, and the recommended content includes display materials related to the recommended application 122 and is associated with the download link or application object information of the recommended application 122 in the background. In some embodiments, the recommended content is a recommended video. In some embodiments, the click identifier is randomly generated by the media application server 102.

[0034] If the user 140 is interested in the recommended content and intends to download the recommended application 122, the user 140 may click 142 to click the recommended content in the media page, thereby downloading the recommended application 122. In some embodiments, the recommended application 122 may be downloaded through a third-party application download platform, and the media application 108 informs the application download platform of the download link or download object information (i.e., the identifier of the recommended application 122) so that the application download platform downloads the recommended application 122. Alternatively or additionally, the media application 108 may download the recommended application 122 through an internal download plug-in.

[0035] At the same time, after the user 140 clicks 142 on the recommended content, the media application 108 broadcasts the click identifier to the device system 118, so that the device system 118 saves the click identifier in the form of broadcast 120. At the same time, the media application 108 also saves the click identifier to the database 114, so that the click identifier is saved through the database 116 in the media application 108. In some embodiments, the broadcast 120 and the database 116 may also include other information besides the click identifier, such as download time and other information.

[0036] Further, after the recommended application 122 is downloaded and installed, the user can start the recommended application 122 by directly starting 144, and the software development kit 124 can obtain the start information 126, and then determine that the start mode of the recommended application 122 is directly starting 144 according to the start information 126. In some embodiments, the user can click the desktop icon of the recommended application 122 on the desktop of the electronic device 106 to directly start the recommended application 122. Alternatively or additionally, after the application download platform is downloaded and installed, the user can click the start button on the application download platform page to directly start the recommended application 122.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the recommendation application 122 is started, the software development kit 124 in the recommendation application 122 may read the broadcast 128 to read the click identifier from the broadcast 120 of the system device 118. At the same time, the software development kit 124 also performs database communication 130 with the database 116 in the media application 108 to query the click identifier from the database 116. After the click identifier is read by any of the methods of reading the broadcast 128 or the database communication 130, the click identifier upload 134 may be executed to upload the click identifier to the recommendation application server 136, and the recommendation application server 136 determines the download source 138 according to the click identifier.

[0038] Alternatively or additionally, the user can start the recommended application 122 by means of jump start 146, and the software development kit 124 can obtain the start information 126, and then determine that the start mode of the recommended application 122 is jump start 146 according to the start information 126. In some embodiments, after the recommended application 122 is downloaded and installed, the media application 108 pops up a window to prompt the user whether to jump to the recommended application 122, and after the user confirms, a jump link is generated and the user jumps to the recommended application 122 through the jump link. The jump link carries a click mark.

[0039] Subsequently, after the recommendation application 122 is started, the software development kit 124 in the recommendation application 122 may perform a jump link extraction 132 to extract a click identifier from the jump link. After the click identifier is extracted through the jump link, the click identifier may be uploaded 134 to the recommendation application server 136, and the recommendation application server 136 determines a download source 138 according to the click identifier.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the recommended application 122 can obtain the click identifier from the broadcast 120 of the device system 118 or the database 116 of the media application 108 through the software development kit 124, without having to read the device ID from the electronic device 106, thereby avoiding the situation where the device ID cannot be read due to user settings, privacy permissions and other issues, and improving the success rate of click identifier collection and the privacy security of the device. In addition, in the case of not jumping directly from the media application 108 to the recommended application 122, the click identifier is obtained simultaneously through the broadcast 120 of the device system 118 or the database 116 of the media application 108, which improves the accuracy of the click identifier and the adaptability of obtaining the click identifier in different scenarios. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can improve the success rate of obtaining the click identifier and the accuracy of determining the download source.

[0041] The following will combine Figures 2 to 8The process according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail. For ease of understanding, the specific data mentioned in the following description are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure. It is understood that the embodiments described below may also include additional actions not shown and / or the actions shown may be omitted, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0042] Figure 2 A flowchart of a method 200 for determining a download source of an application in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In some embodiments, Figure 1 The hardware structure for supporting and running the software development kit 124 can serve as the execution subject of the method 200 .

[0043] In block 202, it is determined whether the application is launched from a media page. Figure 1 In the environment 100 shown in FIG. 1 , the software development kit 124 executes the acquisition of startup information 126, determines the startup method of the recommended application 122 through the startup information, and thereby determines whether the startup method of the recommended application 122 is a jump startup 146 from the media application 108 to the recommended application 122 (i.e., being started from the media page).

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 1 In the environment 100 shown in FIG. 1 , the media application server 102 determines the recommended content for the user 140 and randomly generates a unique click identifier indicating the recommended content, and then performs sending the recommended content and the click identifier 104 to send the recommended content and the click identifier to the electronic device 106 of the user 140. The media application 108 in the electronic device 106 can display the recommended content 110 on the media page. If the user 140 is interested in the recommended content and has the intention to download the recommended application 122, the user 140 clicks 142 to click on the recommended content in the media page, thereby downloading the recommended application 122.

[0045] If the application is not started from the media page, then in block 204, if there is a broadcast in the system (e.g., the operating system of the device), a click identifier for the recommended content is obtained from the broadcast, and in block 206, if the media application is running in the background, the click identifier is obtained from the media application. The click identifier is broadcast to the system and / or saved in the database of the media application after the recommended content is clicked.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 1In the environment 100 shown in FIG. 1 , after the user 140 clicks 142 on the recommended content, the media application 108 broadcasts the click identifier to the device system 118, so that the device system 118 saves the click identifier in the form of broadcast 120. At the same time, the media application 108 also saves the click identifier to the database 114, so that the click identifier is saved through the database 116 in the media application 108.

[0047] After the recommended application 122 is downloaded and installed, the user 140 can start the recommended application 122 by directly starting 144. In some embodiments, the user can directly start the recommended application 122 by clicking the desktop icon of the recommended application 122 on the desktop of the electronic device 106. Alternatively or additionally, the user can directly start the recommended application 122 by clicking a start button on the application download platform page after the application download platform is downloaded and installed.

[0048] In some embodiments, after the recommendation application 122 is started by direct start 144 (i.e., not started from the media page), if the broadcast 120 exists in the device system 118, the software development kit 124 in the recommendation application 122 can read the broadcast 120 to read the click identifier from the broadcast 120 of the system device 118. Meanwhile, if the media application 108 runs in the background, the software development kit 124 can perform database communication 130 with the database 116 in the media application 108 to query the click identifier from the database 116.

[0049] At block 208, a determination is made as to whether a click indicator is obtained from one of the broadcast or media applications. Figure 1 In the environment 100 shown in FIG. 1 , the click identifier can be obtained from the broadcast 120 in the device system 118 or from the database 116 of the media application 108. It should be understood that after the click identifier is obtained through either the broadcast 120 in the device system 118 or the database 116 of the media application 108, it can be confirmed that the click identifier is obtained without waiting for the click identifier to be obtained through the other method.

[0050] If a click identifier is obtained from one of the broadcast or media applications, then in block 210, the click identifier is sent to the server so that the server determines the download source of the application based on the click identifier. Figure 1 In the environment 100 shown in , after reading the click identifier by reading the broadcast 128 or any of the database communications 130, the click identifier 134 can be uploaded to the recommendation application server 136, and the recommendation application server 136 determines the download source 138 based on the click identifier.

[0051] In some embodiments, the recommended application server 136 may query the click identifier in the media application server 102, and determine the download source of the recommended application 122 through the matching result of the click identifier uploaded by the software development kit 124 and the click identifier queried from the media application server 102. It can be understood that if the click identifiers match, the recommended content displayed in the media page of the media application 108 is the download source of the recommended application 122.

[0052] Alternatively or additionally, in Figure 1 In the environment 100 shown in , after the click identifier is read by any of the methods of reading the broadcast 128 or the database communication 130, the click identifier can be uploaded to the media application server 102, and the media application server determines the download source according to the click identifier.

[0053] In this way, the recommendation application can obtain the click identifier from the system broadcast or the database of the media application through the software development kit, without having to read the device ID from the device, thus avoiding the situation where the device ID cannot be read due to user settings, privacy permissions and other issues, and improving the success rate of collecting click identifiers and the privacy security of the device. In addition, in the case of not jumping directly from the media application to the recommendation application, the click identifier is obtained through the system broadcast or the database of the media application at the same time, which improves the accuracy of the click identifier and the adaptability of obtaining the click identifier in different scenarios. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the success rate of obtaining the click identifier and the accuracy of determining the download source.

[0054] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a media page 300 of some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , the media page 300 displays: recommended video 302 (can be called recommended content); description information 304 of the recommended video 302, which is used to describe the information in the recommended video 302; and operation control group 306, which includes like, comment, favorite, and forward from top to bottom. It can be understood that Figure 3 The display of the media page 300 is only for example and does not constitute a limitation to the media page 300.

[0055] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a page 400 for downloading recommended applications on an application download platform in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 When the user clicks on the recommended video 302 in the media page 300, the user jumps from the media application to the application download platform to download the recommended application. At this time, the page also switches from the media page 300 to the page 400 of the application download platform.

[0056] Continue to refer Figure 4 In the page 400, there are icons 402-1 and a download control 404-1 of a recommended application, an icon 402-2 and a download control 404-2 of another application, an icon 402-3 and a download control 404-3 of another application, an icon 402-4 and a download control 404-4 of another application, and a recommended application 406 of the application download platform. In the process of jumping from the media application to the application download platform, the media application will inform the application download platform of the download address or download object information, so the application download platform will automatically download the recommended application without the user manually clicking the download control 404-1 of the recommended application. At this time, the download control 404-1 is displayed as downloading.

[0057] Figure 5A A schematic diagram of jumping from a media application to a media page 500A of a recommended application in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4 as well as Figure 5A When the recommended application enters the downloading state on the application download platform, the user will return to the media application to continue browsing the media page. When the recommended application is downloaded and installed by the application download platform in the background, a pop-up window 502 may pop up on the media page 500A and ask the user whether to jump to the recommended application. When the user clicks the confirmation control 504, the page of the recommended application is jumped to. When the user clicks the cancel control 506, the pop-up window 502 is canceled.

[0058] Figure 5B A schematic diagram of a page 500B for directly opening a recommended application from an application download platform in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4 as well as Figure 5B When the recommended application enters the downloading state on the application download platform, the user will stay on the page 500B of the application download platform. When the recommended application is downloaded and installed, the download control 404-1 switches to the open control 508. When the user clicks the open control 508, the page of the recommended application can be directly opened.

[0059] Figure 5C A schematic diagram of a page 500C for directly opening a recommended application from the system in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4 as well as Figure 5CWhen the recommended application enters the downloading state on the application download platform, the user will return to the system page 500C (i.e., the system desktop). Page 500C displays a desktop application icon 510-1, a desktop application icon 510-2, a desktop application icon 510-3, and a desktop application icon 510-4. In addition, a program dock application icon 512-1, a program dock application icon 512-2, and a program dock application icon 512-3 are also displayed. When the recommended application is downloaded and installed by the application download platform in the background, the desktop application icon 510-5 of the recommended application is added to page 500C, and the user can directly click the application icon 510-5 to open the recommended application page.

[0060] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a process 600 for determining a download source of an application in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 6 , the media application 602 receives the recommended video (which may be referred to as recommended content) from the server and displays the recommended video 604 in the media page. When the user clicks on the recommended video, the media application 602 clicks to trigger the download task 606, jumps to the application download platform 622, and the application download platform 622 executes downloading the recommended application 624 and installing the recommended application 626.

[0061] After the user clicks on the recommended video, the media application 602 performs a broadcast to the system 608, thereby saving the click mark 614 and the application package name 616 (which may be referred to as the first identification information) to the broadcast 620 in the mobile phone system 618. In addition, the media application 602 also performs a save to database 610, thereby saving the click mark 614 and the application package name 616 to the database 612 in the end of the media application 602. In some embodiments, the mobile phone system 618 is set to an Android system. In some embodiments, the click mark 614 is used to uniquely indicate the recommended content, and the application package name 616 is used to uniquely indicate the recommended application. In some embodiments, the click mark 614 and the application package name 616 are broadcast to the mobile phone system 618 through a sticky broadcast.

[0062] Continue to refer Figure 6 When the recommended application is downloaded and installed, the user can enter the recommended application page by directly launching the recommended application 630 or jumping from the media application to launch the recommended application 628. After the recommended application is launched, the software development kit 632 in the recommended application is initialized 634, and then the launch information 636 is obtained, and the launch method of the recommended application is determined through the launch information provided by the mobile phone system 618.

[0063] When it is determined that the recommended application is directly launched, it can be determined whether the mobile phone system 618 is restarted after being broadcast. If it is not restarted, it indicates that the broadcast 620 still exists in the mobile phone system 618. The application package name (which can be called second identification information) of the recommended application is read through the software development kit 632. If the application package name 616 in the broadcast 620 is the same as the application package name read by the software development kit 632, it indicates that the current broadcast 620 in the mobile phone system 618 is the requested broadcast, and the software development kit 632 executes to read the click identifier 638 from the broadcast. In this way, the software development kit 632 extracts the click identifier 614 from the corresponding broadcast 620 only when the application package name matches, thereby improving the accuracy of the click identifier 614.

[0064] In some embodiments, after the click mark 614 and the application package name 616 are broadcasted to the mobile phone system 618, they will continue to be stored in the mobile phone system 618 (as a broadcast 620). When the software development kit 632 is registered, the mobile phone system 618 can broadcast to the software development kit 632, so that the software development kit can read the click mark 614 and the application package name 616 from the broadcast 620.

[0065] In some embodiments, during the process of the media application 602 performing a broadcast to the system 608, the application package name 616 may be hashed (which may be referred to as being encrypted by a first encryption method), and the hashed result may be broadcasted to the mobile phone system 618. During the process of the software development kit 632 reading the click identifier 638 from the broadcast, the application package name of the read recommended application may be hashed based on the same hash method. If the hashed result stored in the broadcast 620 is the same as the hashed result obtained by the software application installation package 632, it indicates that the current broadcast 620 in the mobile phone system 618 is the requested broadcast, and the software development kit 632 reads the click identifier 638 from the broadcast 620. In this way, the security of the broadcast 620 may be improved, and the risk of the click identifier 614 being leaked may be reduced.

[0066] In some embodiments, during the process of the media application 602 executing the broadcast to the system 608, the click identifier 614 may be encrypted (i.e., encrypted by the second encryption method), for example, the click identifier 614 may be encrypted by symmetric encryption or asymmetric encryption, and then the encrypted result may be broadcast to the mobile phone system 618. During the process of the software development kit 632 reading the click identifier 614 from the broadcast 620, the encryption result of the click identifier 614 in the broadcast 620 may be obtained, and then the encryption result may be decrypted by the corresponding decryption method, thereby obtaining the click identifier 614. In this way, the security of the click identifier 614 is further improved.

[0067] In addition, when it is determined that the recommended application is directly started, it is also possible to determine whether the media application 602 is running in the background through the interface of the mobile phone system 618. If the media application 602 is running in the background, the application package name (which can be called the second identification information) of the recommended application is read through the software development kit 632. If the application package name 616 in the database 612 is the same as the application package name read by the software development kit 632, it indicates that the click identifier 614 corresponding to the application package name 616 in the database 612 is the requested data, and the software development kit 632 executes to read the click identifier 640 from the database. In this way, the software development kit 632 extracts the click identifier 614 from the database 612 only when the application package name matches, thereby improving the accuracy of the click identifier 614. In some embodiments, the database 612 can be set as the ContentProvider in the mobile phone system 618.

[0068] When it is determined that the recommended application is started by jumping through the media application, since the media application 602 will generate a jump link during the jump process and pass the click identifier into the jump link, the software development kit 632 can extract the click identifier 642 from the jump link through the jump link sent by the media application 602 to the recommended application. In some embodiments, the jump link is set as a deeplink. In this way, the scheme of extracting the click identifier from the jump link in the scenario of application jump is added, and the scenario of obtaining the click identifier is further improved, thereby improving the success rate and scenario adaptability of obtaining the click identifier, and the method of extracting the click identifier from the jump link consumes less computing resources and storage resources and is faster, thereby improving the efficiency of obtaining the click identifier and reducing the cost.

[0069] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the recommended application is started by jumping from the media application, since the click identifier can be extracted from the jump link and it is no longer necessary to obtain the click identifier through the broadcast 620 or the database 612, the click identifier 614 and the application package name 616 can be deleted from the mobile phone system 618 and the database 612 of the media application 602. In this way, the storage resources can be released in time when the broadcast 620 and the database 612 are no longer needed.

[0070] Continue to refer Figure 6 After obtaining the click identifier through any of the broadcasting, database and jump link methods, the software development kit 632 executes the upload click identifier 644, thereby sending the click identifier to the media application server so that the media application server determines the download source of the recommended application based on the click identifier, or sends the click identifier to the recommended application server so that the recommended application server determines the download source of the recommended application based on the click identifier.
