In addition, the method embodiments may include additional steps and / or omit the steps shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this regard.

[0034] The term "including" and its variants used herein are open-ended, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" is "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment"; the term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment"; the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments". The relevant definitions of other terms will be given in the following description.

[0035] It should be noted that the concepts such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the present disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order of the functions executed by these devices, modules or units or their interdependent relationships.

[0037] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0038] It can be understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the types, usage scopes, 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.

[0039] For example, when a user's active request is received, a prompt message is sent to the user to clearly prompt the user that the operation requested by the user 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, an application program, a server, or a storage medium that performs the operations of the present disclosure technical solution according to the prompt message.

[0040] As an optional but non-limiting implementation manner, the manner of sending a prompt message to the user in response to receiving the user's active request may be, for example, a pop-up window manner, and the prompt message may be presented in text in the pop-up window.

[0041] It can be understood that the above notification and user authorization process is only illustrative and does not constitute a limitation on the implementation manner of the present disclosure. Other manners that meet relevant laws and regulations can also be applied to the implementation manner of the present disclosure.

[0042] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a method for determining an installation channel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. This method can be executed by a device for determining an installation channel, where the device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and can be configured in an electronic device. Typically, it can be configured in a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a computer. For example, it can be configured in a client installed in the electronic device or configured in a server. The method for determining an installation channel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to scenarios of attributing the installation of an application.

[0043] The installation attribution of an application can be briefly described as determining the installation channel information of the application, which can provide the effect of the application advertisement to the application provider. The application advertisement here is a broad sense of advertisement, which can include multiple media channels, such as advertising placement and pre-installation.

[0044] For application advertisements, users have two interactive behaviors: viewing application advertisements and clicking application advertisements. The attribution results can be divided into two types: non-organic traffic and organic traffic. Non-organic traffic can be that the user has interacted with a certain media channel (usually completed through display or click); organic traffic can be that the user has not interacted with the media channel.

[0045] Installation attribution can greatly promote the optimization of application user acquisition and activation, and improve the optimization effect. The accuracy of installation attribution has a greater impact on application providers.

[0046] Taking the pre-installation scenario as an example, pre-installation means pre-installing the application on the device that is about to be shipped by the manufacturer or operator, so that the users who purchase the device can use it. Pre-installation attribution is an important part of pre-installation. The provider of the application needs to accurately identify the channel from which the application is installed to further analyze the effect of pre-installation. For pre-installed applications, there are often three scenarios when users activate them: directly activating the pre-installed version of the application; the application is silently upgraded by the device's application store, and the user activates the latest version of the application after the application store upgrade; the user uninstalls the pre-installed version of the application and then downloads the new version of the application from the application store.

[0047] For the first scenario, adding some identifiers to the pre-installed version of the application can accurately identify the installation source of the application. For the second and third scenarios, because the installation package of the application has changed, it is necessary to have the ability to prevent overwriting, that is, the installation source of the application can still be accurately identified after the application is upgraded or uninstalled and reinstalled.

[0048] Currently, the implementation of application installation attribution requires the help of third-party software development kits (SDKs) such as Appsflyer. The more common attribution anti-overwrite method is to prepare an anti-overwrite file, which records the application information (such as the application package name) and channel number (media_source) information. The device manufacturer or operator places the anti-overwrite file in the system partition of the device. Even if the application is upgraded or uninstalled, the anti-overwrite file still exists. The application only needs to read the information in the anti-overwrite file when it is started for the first time.

[0049] However, this method currently has the following disadvantages: placing the anti-overwrite file requires operating the mobile phone system, requiring partners (such as equipment manufacturers or operators) to have system-level operating capabilities, but usually some operator partners are unable to operate the system; partners are prone to errors when placing anti-overwrite files, causing the anti-overwrite file to be carried on devices that have not been deployed, resulting in attribution errors and settlement losses; the solution relies on a third-party SDK implementation and cannot effectively perform attribution control. At the same time, there is a risk of leakage during data transmission.

[0050] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a new installation attribution solution to reduce the difficulty of application installation attribution and solve at least some of the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the installation channel provided in this embodiment may include:

[0052] S101, obtaining a target program package file of a client.

[0053] Among them, the client can be understood as an application for which the installation channel information is to be determined currently. The target package file can be the package file of the client, such as the application file and / or the installation package of the client, etc.

[0054] In this embodiment, the package file of the client can be obtained, such as obtaining the package file of the client from the device on which the client is installed, so as to subsequently determine the installation channel information of the client based on the package file.

[0055] S102. Determine the target status information of the preset function module set in the target package file, where the preset function module set includes at least one preset function module, and the preset function module set has different status information in the package files adopted by different installation channels.

[0056] The preset function module set can be a set of preset function modules. The preset function module set can include one or more preset function modules. The number of preset function modules included in the preset function module set can be determined based on the number of channels of the installation channels, as long as it can indicate each existing installation channel.

[0057] The preset function module can be a function module in the package file of the application for determining the installation channel of the application. The preset function modules included in the package files of different installation channels are not exactly the same. Exemplarily, the package file of a certain installation channel may not include a preset function module, and the package files of other installation channels except this installation channel may include at least one preset function module. At least one of the at least one function modules included in the package files of different installation channels is a different preset function module, so as to indicate the corresponding installation channel based on the status information of the preset function module.

[0058] The preset function module can be configured in the package file in the form of a function module. Thus, the preset function module will not be removed due to the update of the application (such as the update of the package file), avoiding the situation of being unable to determine the installation channel of the application or mis-determining the installation channel of the application. Optionally, the preset function module is configured to be updated along with the update of the basic module in the package file. For example, the version of the preset function module can be consistent with the version of the basic module in the program file package. When the application store updates the application automatically or based on the user's trigger operation, it can update the basic module in the package file, and further update the preset function module in the package file to have the same version number as the updated basic module.

[0059] The basic module in the package file can be a module for implementing the basic functions of the application, and the package files adopted by different installation channels can all contain the basic module. The preset function module in the package file can be an additional module in the package file. The additional module in the package file can include but is not limited to the preset function module. For example, the package file can also contain a function module for implementing other functions besides determining the installation channel.

[0060] Optionally, the package file is an Android application bundle (AAB) file, the basic module is the main module in the AAB file, and the preset function module is the adaptive function module in the AAB file. Among them, the Android App Bundle (AAB) file consists of a Base module and multiple Dynamic Feature (DF) modules. The preset function module can be configured as a DF module in the AAB file. The application store can dynamically distribute the DF module according to the application configuration. Each DF module is independent and can generate a separate Android application package (APK) file in another format, and its version number is consistent with the version number of the Base module.

[0061] Therefore, when the application is updated, it will ensure that the version numbers of all DF modules are consistent with the version number of the Base module. Even if the DF modules included in the old version before the update do not meet the distribution conditions of the application store, the application store will force the update of the DF modules instead of removing them. Thus, the status information of the DF modules (including the preset function modules) in the application package remains unchanged before and after the update. For example, if no preset function module is included in the application package before the update, no preset function module will still be included in the updated application package; if one or more preset function modules are included in the application package before the update, one or more preset function modules will still be included in the updated application package, and which specific preset function modules are included will not change, only the version of the preset function module is updated. Based on this, the installation channel of the application can be determined through the status information of the preset function module.

[0062] The target status information may be the status information of a preset function module set in the target program package file. Exemplarily, the status information can be used to indicate whether the target program package file contains the preset function modules in the preset function module set and / or which preset function modules in the preset function module set are included. Optionally, the target status information is used to indicate whether the target program package file contains the preset function module. For example, for each preset function module in the preset function module set, the target status information can be used to indicate whether the target program package file contains the preset function module.

[0063] Specifically, after obtaining the target program package file of the client, the target status information of the preset function module set in the target program package file can be determined, such as determining the preset function modules included in the target program package file, and obtaining the target status information of the preset function module set in the target program package file according to the determination result.

[0064] S103. Determine the target installation channel information of the client based on the target status information.

[0065] Among them, the target installation channel information can be understood as the installation channel information of the client. The installation channel information can be related information of the installation channel, such as the installation channel name and / or channel number, etc.

[0066] Specifically, after determining the target status information of the preset function module set in the target program package file, the installation channel information (i.e., the target installation channel information) of the client can be determined based on the target status information.

[0067] For example, the program package files of different installation channels may contain different preset function modules. In other words, different preset function modules correspond to different installation channels. Thus, the preset function modules included in the target program package file can be determined according to the target status information, and the installation channel information of the installation channel corresponding to the preset function module is determined as the target installation channel information of the client.

[0068] For another example, the status information of the preset function modules included in the program package files of different installation channels may not be completely the same. For example, the program package files of different installation channels may contain different combinations of preset function modules. Thus, the installation channel information of the installation channel corresponding to the target status information can be determined as the target installation channel information of the client.

[0069] The method for determining the installation channel provided in this embodiment can be executed by the client (i.e., the application for which the installation channel information is to be determined) and / or the server.

[0070] In some embodiments, the client can obtain its own target package file, determine the target status information of the preset function module set in the target package file, and can determine the target installation channel information of the client by itself based on the target status information, or determine the target installation channel information of the client through the server based on the target status information.

[0071] At this time, optionally, determining the target installation channel information of the client based on the target status information includes: querying the installation channel information corresponding to the target status information from a preset correspondence table as the target installation channel information of the client, and sending the target installation channel information to the server, where the preset correspondence table is used to record the correspondence between different status information and different installation channel information; or sending the target status information to the server, where the sent target status information is used for the server to determine the target installation channel information of the client.

[0072] Among them, the preset correspondence table can be a table for recording the correspondence between status information and installation channel information. Exemplarily, the preset correspondence table can record the installation channel information corresponding to each status information of the preset function module set, and it can be pre-configured and stored in the client and / or the server.

[0073] For example, after determining the target status information, the client can query the preset correspondence table, determine the installation channel information recorded in the preset correspondence table and corresponding to the target status information as its own target installation channel information, and can report the target installation channel information to the server.

[0074] Again, for example, after determining the target status information, the client can send the target status information to the server, and the server determines the target installation channel information of the client based on the target status information.

[0075] In some embodiments, the server can obtain the target package file of the client whose installation channel information is to be determined, determine the target status information of the preset function module set in the target package file, and determine the target installation channel information of the client based on the target status information.

[0076] The method for determining the installation channel provided in this embodiment obtains the target package file of the client; determines the target status information of the preset function module set in the target package file, where the preset function module set includes at least one preset function module, and the preset function module set has different status information in the package files adopted by different installation channels; determines the target installation channel information of the client based on the target status information. By using the above technical solution, this embodiment indicates the installation channel of the application through the preset function module, without obtaining the system operation permission of the device or relying on a third-party tool, which can reduce the difficulty of determining the application installation channel, improve the accuracy and controllability of the application installation channel determination result, and the security of the application installation channel determination process.

[0077] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of another method for determining the installation channel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The solution in this embodiment can be combined with one or more optional solutions in the above embodiment. Optionally, the target status information includes the module set code of the preset function module set. Determining the target status information of the preset function module set in the target package file includes: performing a function module detection on the target package file to generate a detection result, where the detection result is used to indicate the module information of the first function module and / or the module information of the second function module, the first function module is a preset function module included in the target package file, and the second function module is a preset function module not included in the target package file; encoding the at least one preset function module according to the detection result by using a preset encoding method to obtain the module set code of the preset function module set.

[0078] Correspondingly, as Figure 2 shown, the method for determining the installation channel provided in this embodiment may include:

[0079] S201. Obtain the target package file of the client.

[0080] S202. Perform a function module detection on the target package file to generate a detection result, where the detection result is used to indicate the module information of the first function module and / or the module information of the second function module, the first function module is a preset function module included in the target package file, and the second function module is a preset function module not included in the target package file.

[0081] In this embodiment, after obtaining the target program file, a function module detection can be performed on the target package file to generate a detection result.

[0082] Exemplarily, the preset function modules included in the target package file can be detected as the first function modules, and the preset function modules not included in the target package file in the preset function module set can be used as the second function modules. Alternatively, for each preset function module in the preset function module set, it can be detected whether the target package file contains the preset function module. If so, the preset function module is used as the first function module; if not, the preset function module is used as the second function module.

[0083] S203. According to the detection result, at least one preset function module is encoded by using a preset encoding method to obtain a module set encoding of the preset function module set, where the preset function module set includes the at least one preset function module, and the preset function module set has different status information in the package files used in different installation channels.

[0084] Among them, the module set encoding of the preset function module set can be understood as the set encoding of the preset function module set obtained based on the target package file. The module set encoding of the preset function module set can be obtained by combining the status codes corresponding to each preset function module included in the preset function module set in a preset arrangement order. The preset function modules included in the target package file and the preset function modules not included in the target package file can correspond to different status codes. The preset encoding method can be a preset encoding method, and this preset encoding method is not limited. Optionally, the preset encoding method includes a binary encoding method to reduce the number of preset function modules that need to be set.

[0085] Specifically, after generating the detection result, according to the detection result, each preset function module included in the preset function module set can be encoded by using a preset encoding method. For example, different status codes are used to encode the first function module and the second function module in the preset function module set to obtain a module set encoding composed of the status codes corresponding to each preset function module in the preset function module set.

[0086] In some embodiments, the step of encoding at least one preset function module by using a preset encoding method according to the detection result to obtain a module set encoding of the preset function module set includes: determining the status code of the first function module as the first status code corresponding to the preset encoding method, and determining the status code of the second function module as the second status code corresponding to the preset encoding method; arranging the status codes of the at least one preset function module in the preset arrangement order corresponding to the preset encoding method; and combining the arranged status codes into one encoding as the module set encoding of the preset function module set.

[0087] Among them, the first status code can be understood as the status code corresponding to the functional modules included in the program package file in a preset encoding method, and the second status code can be understood as the status code corresponding to the functional modules not included in the program package file in the preset encoding method. The first status code and the second status code can be different status codes. For example, the first status code and the second status code can be different numbers or letters, etc. Taking the preset encoding method as the binary encoding method as an example, the first status code can be the number 1, and the second status code can be the number 0; or, the first status code can be the number 0, and the second status code can be the number 1. The preset arrangement order can be the arrangement order of the status codes of different preset functional modules when forming the module set encoding, which can be flexibly set according to needs.

[0088] Exemplarily, after determining the first functional module and the second functional module in the preset functional module set, the status code of the first functional module can be determined as the first status code in the preset encoding method, and the status code of the second functional module can be determined as the second status code in the preset encoding method; arrange the status codes of each first functional module and each second functional module according to the preset arrangement order indicated in the preset encoding method, and combine the arranged status codes into one encoding as the module set encoding of the preset functional module set.

[0089] Taking the pre-installation scenario as an example, assume that the program package file used by the application mall does not include the df_attrbution module (i.e., the preset functional module), and the program package files used by the installation channels other than the application mall include at least one df_attrbution module. Thus, in the scenario of pre-installed application update, the presence of the df_attribution module can be detected before and after the update, while in the scenario of uninstalling and reinstalling, the df_attribution module will not be included in the application's program package file. Therefore, the installation source of the application can be determined by judging the presence of the df_attribution module.

[0090] Exemplarily, the binary encoding format can be used to manage different pre-installation attributions through the arrangement and combination of the df_attribution module. For example, a total of six preset functional modules, df_attrbution_1 to df_attrbution_6, can be newly created. If a certain preset functional module exists in the application's program package file, it is marked as 1, and if a certain preset functional module does not exist in the application's program package file, it is marked as 0, thus constructing a six-digit binary number (i.e., the module set encoding). Thus, 64 different pre-installation attribution information (i.e., installation channel information) can be represented by 6 preset functional modules, that is, the attribution of multiple installation channels can be achieved by using a relatively small number of preset functional modules.

[0091] S204. Determine the target installation channel information of the client based on the target status information, where the target status information includes the module set code of the preset function module set.

[0092] Exemplarily, after determining the module set code of the preset function module set, the target installation channel information of the client can be determined based on the module set code. For example, the installation channel information corresponding to the determined module set code in the preset correspondence table is determined as the target installation channel information of the client.

[0093] The method for determining the installation channel provided in this embodiment generates the module set code of the preset function module set based on whether each preset function module in the program package file of the client contains the preset function module set, and determines the installation channel information of the client based on the module set code of the preset function module set, which can further simplify the amount of computation required in the process of determining the installation channel.

[0094] Figure 3 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining an installation channel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. This method can be executed by a device for determining an installation channel, where the device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and can be configured in an electronic device. Typically, it can be configured in a computer, such as configured in a server. The method for determining an installation channel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to scenarios where attribution is made for the installation of an application. As Figure 3 shown, the method for determining an installation channel provided in this embodiment may include:

[0095] S301. Receive the target status information sent by the client, where the target status information is the status information of the preset function module set in the target program package file of the client. The preset function module set includes at least one preset function module, and the preset function module set has different status information in the program package files of different installation channels.

[0096] Exemplarily, after the client to determine the installation channel information determines the target status information of the preset function module set in the target program package file, it can send the target status information to the server. Thus, the server can receive the target status information sent by the client.

[0097] S302.
