Description

Application running method, electronic device and storage medium

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application with application number 202310802854.0 filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on June 30, 2023, and priority to the Chinese patent application with the invention name “An application operation method, electronic device and storage medium”, all contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to an application running method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0003] With the advancement of technology and the development of smart electronic devices, in order to meet the needs of users, developers have developed a variety of functional applications. Users can download and install applications on electronic devices and experience different application features through installed applications, such as playing music, playing videos, etc.

[0004] Currently, an application installation package may include multiple different function packages, each of which can implement different functions. For example, an application's function package may include, but is not limited to, a basic package, a configuration package, an entry function package, or a feature function package.

[0005] As applications become more and more functional, the number of application function packages increases, resulting in application installation packages being too large. It takes a long time for electronic devices to download application installation packages, and users also need to wait a long time to download application installation packages, resulting in poor user experience.

[0006] Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present application provides an application running method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, which enable different applications to share the same function package, reduce the size of the application installation package, and speed up the download speed of the application installation package.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present application provides an application running method, the method comprising: the electronic device obtains a first storage path of the installation package of the first application and a second storage path of a shared implementation package that the first application depends on in response to a user's opening operation of the first application; wherein the electronic device is installed with the first application and the shared implementation package, wherein the shared implementation package is used to implement a preset function, and the first storage path is different from the second storage path; the electronic device obtains the installation package of the first application based on the first storage path, and the installation package of the first application is configured with reference information to the shared implementation package; the electronic device runs the first application based on the first storage path, the reference information and the second storage path.

[0009] The reference information of the shared implementation package may include the API used by the electronic device to call the shared implementation package. The electronic device can derive the shared implementation package based on the API of the shared implementation package and then load and run the shared implementation package. The reference information of the shared implementation package is not limited to the API of the shared implementation package and may also include other information, which is not limited in this application.

[0010] The storage paths of the installation package of the first application and the shared implementation package that the first application relies on are different. The shared implementation package can be used by different applications. When the first application is launched, the electronic device can obtain the second storage path of the shared implementation package that the first application relies on, and then run the first application based on the installation package of the first application and the shared implementation package that the first application relies on. Through this method, different applications can share the same function package, reducing the size of the application installation package and speeding up the download speed of the application installation package.

[0011] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the method also includes: the electronic device obtains a third storage path of the installation package of the second application and a second storage path of the shared implementation package that the second application depends on in response to the user's opening operation of the second application; wherein the electronic device is installed with the second application and the shared implementation package, and the third storage path is different from the second storage path; the electronic device obtains the installation package of the second application based on the third storage path, and the installation package of the second application is configured with reference information to the shared implementation package; the electronic device runs the second application based on the third storage path, the reference information and the second storage path.

[0012] The same shared implementation package can be used by different applications. When different applications call the same shared implementation package, it is necessary to record the reference information of the shared implementation package that the application depends on in the installation package of each application. This allows the electronic device to obtain the second storage path of the shared implementation package that the second application depends on when the second application is launched, and then run the first application based on the installation package of the second application and the shared implementation package that the second application depends on. In this way, different applications can share the same function package, reducing the size of the application installation package and speeding up the download speed of the application installation package.

[0013] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, before the electronic device runs the first application based on the first storage path, reference information and the second storage path, the method also includes: the electronic device loads the first storage path and the second storage path into the process sandbox of the first application; the electronic device runs the first application based on the first storage path, reference information and the second storage path, specifically including: the electronic device runs the first application in the process sandbox of the first application based on the first storage path, reference information and the second storage path.

[0014] In some embodiments, the electronic device may also load the reference information of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on into the process sandbox of the first application, or may not load the reference information of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on into the process sandbox of the first application. This application does not limit this.

[0015] When a first application is launched, the electronic device may load the first storage path of the first application's installation package and the second storage path of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on into the first application's process sandbox. Only the first application can access the data in the first application's process sandbox, while other applications cannot access the data in the first application's process sandbox. This allows different applications to run independently and ensures the security of application operation.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, before the electronic device responds to the user's opening operation of the first application, the method also includes: the electronic device receives and responds to a third user operation, downloads and installs the installation package of the first application, and stores the installation package of the first application in the first storage area, the storage path of the installation package of the first application stored in the first storage area is the first storage path, the installation package of the first application includes a shared interface package, and the shared interface package includes an identifier of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on; when the electronic device determines that the shared implementation package is not installed on the electronic device based on the identifier of the shared implementation package, the electronic device downloads the shared implementation package; the electronic device installs the shared implementation package and stores the shared implementation package in the second storage area, and the storage path of the shared implementation package stored in the second storage area is the second storage path.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, the method also includes: when the electronic device determines that the shared implementation package is installed on the electronic device based on the identifier of the shared implementation package, the electronic device obtains a second storage path of the shared implementation package based on the identifier of the shared implementation package.

[0018] Optionally, the electronic device may send an identifier of the shared implementation package to the server. After receiving the shared implementation package sent by the server, the electronic device installs the shared implementation package.

[0019] In this way, when the electronic device downloads and installs the first application, it can only download the installation package of the first application. When determining whether the electronic device has a shared implementation package that the first application depends on locally, if the electronic device has a shared implementation package that the first application depends on locally stored, the electronic device may not download the shared implementation package, thereby reducing the amount of data downloaded for the installation package of the first application. If the electronic device does not have a shared implementation package that the first application depends on locally stored, the electronic device will download the shared implementation package.

[0020] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation method, the shared interface package also includes reference information of the shared implementation package; before the electronic device runs the first application based on the first storage path, reference information and second storage path, the method also includes: the electronic device obtains the shared interface package from the installation package of the first application; the electronic device obtains the reference information of the shared implementation package from the shared interface package.

[0021] The same shared implementation package can be used by different applications. When different applications call the same shared implementation package, the reference information of the shared implementation package that the application depends on must be recorded in the installation package of each application.

[0022] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after the electronic device obtains the second storage path of the shared implementation package and before the electronic device responds to the user's opening operation on the first application, the method also includes: the electronic device obtains the installation information of the first application based on the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the shared implementation package on which the first application depends; the electronic device obtains the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the shared implementation package on which the first application depends in response to the user's opening operation on the first application, specifically including: the electronic device obtains the installation information of the first application in response to the user's opening operation on the first application; the electronic device obtains the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the shared implementation package on which the first application depends from the installation information of the first application.

[0023] In this way, before launching the first application, the electronic device can obtain the installation information of the first application based on the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on. After launching the first application, the electronic device can quickly obtain the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on from the installation information of the first application, thereby speeding up the startup of the first application.

[0024] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, the electronic device obtains a first storage path of the installation package of the first application and a second storage path of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on in response to the user's opening operation of the first application, specifically including: in response to the user's opening operation of the first application, the electronic device obtains the first storage path of the installation package of the first application based on the identifier of the first application; the electronic device obtains the installation package of the first application based on the first storage path; the electronic device obtains the identifier of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on from the installation package of the first application; the electronic device obtains the second storage path of the shared implementation package based on the identifier of the shared implementation package.

[0025] In another possible implementation, before launching the first application, the electronic device does not pre-acquire the installation information of the first application. After launching the first application, the electronic device can obtain in real time the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on.

[0026] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, after the electronic device runs the first application based on the first storage path, reference information and the second storage path, the method also includes: if the shared implementation package is not used within a first time period, the electronic device uninstalls the shared implementation package.

[0027] In this way, the electronic device can dynamically delete the shared implementation package that has not been used for a long time. For example, the shared implementation package that has not been used for a long time may be the shared implementation package before the version is updated, so as to save storage space of the electronic device.

[0028] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, the electronic device installs a shared implementation package, specifically including: when the electronic device determines that the installation package of the first application includes a shared interface package, the electronic device obtains the identifier and first version number of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on from the shared interface package; when the electronic device determines based on the identifier and the first version number of the shared implementation package that the first version of the shared implementation package is not stored on the electronic device, the electronic device downloads the first version of the shared implementation package; the electronic device installs the first version of the shared implementation package, and stores the first version of the shared implementation package in a second storage area, and the storage path of the first version of the shared implementation package stored in the second storage area is the second storage path.

[0029] In other possible implementations, when the electronic device determines that a first version of the shared implementation package is stored on the electronic device based on the identifier of the shared implementation package and the first version number, the electronic device obtains a second storage path of the first version of the shared implementation package based on the identifier of the shared implementation package and the first version number.

[0030] In this way, the shared implementation package that the first application depends on can be distinguished by version number. When the electronic device downloads and installs the first application, it can only download the installation package of the first application. When judging whether the electronic device has the shared implementation package that the first application depends on locally, if the electronic device has the first version of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on stored locally, the electronic device may not download the first version of the shared implementation package to reduce the amount of downloaded data of the installation package of the first application. If the electronic device does not have the first version of the shared implementation package that the first application depends on stored locally, the electronic device will download the first version of the shared implementation package.

[0031] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, the electronic device downloads the first version of the shared implementation package, specifically including: the electronic device sends the identifier and the first version number of the shared implementation package to the server; the electronic device receives the first version of the shared implementation package sent by the server.

[0032] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, after the electronic device receives the first version of the shared implementation package sent by the server, the method also includes: the electronic device receives the second version of the shared implementation package sent by the server, and updates the first version of the shared implementation package to the second version of the shared implementation package.

[0033] In this way, the electronic device can also automatically update the latest version. When the first application needs to use the second version of the shared implementation package, the electronic device does not need to download the second version of the shared implementation package from the server in real time.

[0034] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation method, the preset functions include any one of the following: login function, payment function, map function, navigation function, networking function, advertising display function, data storage function, image recognition function, connection function, screen projection function, communication function, camera function, multimedia function, device virtualization function, and device security function.

[0035] In a second aspect, the present application provides an application running method, the method comprising: in response to a user opening operation of a first application, the electronic device obtains the storage path of a shared implementation package that the first application depends on, wherein the electronic device is installed with the first application and the shared implementation package; the electronic device loads the shared implementation package into the process sandbox of the first application; the electronic device displays the user interface of the first application; in response to a user clicking operation on the user interface, the electronic device implements a preset function of the click operation based on the shared implementation package; wherein the preset function includes any one of the following: login function, payment function, map function, navigation function, networking function, advertising display function, data storage function, image recognition function, connection function, screen projection function, communication function, camera function, multimedia function, device virtualization function, and device security function.

[0036] In combination with the second aspect, in a possible implementation, before responding to the user's operation to open the first application, the method also includes: the electronic device receives and responds to the user's operation to download the first application, downloads and installs the installation package of the first application, and stores the installation package of the first application in the first storage area; the electronic device obtains the shared interface package from the installation package of the first application, and obtains the identifier of the shared implementation package from the shared interface package; when the electronic device determines that the shared implementation package is not stored on the electronic device based on the identifier of the shared implementation package, the electronic device downloads the shared implementation package; the electronic device installs the shared implementation package and stores the shared implementation package in the second storage area; the electronic device obtains the storage path of the shared implementation package based on the shared implementation package stored in the second storage area.

[0037] In combination with the second aspect, in a possible implementation method, the method also includes: when the electronic device determines that the shared implementation package is stored in the second storage area on the electronic device based on the identifier of the shared implementation package, the electronic device obtains the storage path of the shared implementation package based on the shared implementation package stored in the second storage area.

[0038] In combination with the second aspect, in a possible implementation method, the electronic device implements the preset function of the click operation based on the shared implementation package, specifically including: the electronic device obtains the shared interface package from the installation package of the first application; the electronic device obtains the reference information of the shared implementation package from the shared interface package; the electronic device implements the preset function of the click operation based on the reference information of the shared implementation package and the shared implementation package.

[0039] It should be noted that any possible implementation of the application running method provided in the first aspect can also be applied to an application running method provided in the second aspect.

[0040] In a third aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a processor and a memory; the memory is coupled to the processor, the memory is used to store computer program code, the computer program code includes computer instructions, and the processor calls the computer instructions to execute an application running method provided in any possible implementation of any of the above aspects.

[0058] The following is a clear and detailed description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0059] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0060] The term "user interface (UI)" in the following embodiments of this application refers to the media interface for interaction and information exchange between an application or operating system and a user, which realizes the conversion between the internal form of information and the form acceptable to the user. A common form of user interface is a graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations that is displayed in a graphical manner. It can be a visual interface element such as text, icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars, navigation bars, widgets, etc. displayed on the display screen of an electronic device.

[0061] As shown in (a) and (b) of Figure 1, the installation package of the first application may include multiple different function packages, and different function packages may implement different functional characteristics. For example, the first application may include a first function package, a second function package, and a third function package. Among them, different function packages may implement different functional characteristics. Exemplarily, the first function package may include a basic function package of the first application or an Entry function package of the first application, and the second function package may include a configuration function package of the first application, such as a resource package related to the language configuration of the first application, a resource package related to the central processing unit (CPU) configuration of the first application, etc. The third function package may include a Feature function package, such as a resource package that provides map capabilities, networking capabilities, advertising capabilities, etc.

[0062] Similarly, the installation package of the second application may also include multiple different function packages. For example, the second application may include a fourth function package, a fifth function package, and a third function package. Different function packages can implement different functional characteristics. Exemplarily, the fourth function package may include the basic function package of the second application or the Entry function package of the second application, and the fifth function package may include the configuration function package of the second application, such as a resource package related to the language configuration of the second application, a resource package related to the CPU configuration of the second application, etc. The second application also includes a third function package, and the third function package in the second application is the same as the third function package in the first application.

[0063] When the electronic device 100 downloads the first application, it needs to download all of the multiple function packages of the first application, such as the first function package, the second function package, and the third function package.

[0064] When the electronic device 100 downloads the second application, it also needs to download multiple function packages of the second application, such as the fourth function package, the fifth function package and the third function package.

[0065] The first application and the second application have the same third function package. However, when downloading the first application and the second application, the same third function package needs to be downloaded multiple times, and the electronic device 100 also needs to store multiple third function packages.

[0066] In other possible implementations, the developer can develop a sixth function package with the same or similar functions as the third function package, and the sixth function package is integrated with the second application. When the electronic device 100 downloads the first application and the second application, it needs to download the third function package and the sixth function package with the same or similar functions, and store the third function package and the sixth function package with the same or similar functions.

[0067] This not only wastes the memory space of the electronic device 100 , but also requires the user to wait longer for downloading multiple function packages of the first application and the second application when there are many function packages of the first application and the second application.

[0068] Based on this, the following embodiments of the present application provide a shared function package and an application running method based on the shared function package. The shared function package can realize preset functions, such as login function, payment function, map function, navigation function, networking function, advertising display function, data storage function, image recognition function, connection function, screen projection function, communication function, camera function, multimedia function, device virtualization function, device security function, etc. The shared function package can be shared between different applications. For example, the first application needs to use the first shared package. If the first shared package is already stored on the electronic device 100, then when downloading the installation package of the first application, it is not necessary to download the first shared package to reduce the amount of downloaded data of the installation package of the first application.

[0069] Next, we will give a detailed introduction to the development stage, download stage, and usage stage of the shared function package.

[0070] Shared function package development stage

[0071] Shared functionality packages may include shared implementation packages and shared interface packages.

[0072] The shared implementation package may include files that implement the functional characteristics of the first shared function package, such as but not limited to js / ts files, standard program libraries, configuration files, resource files, etc. The shared implementation package can be shared between different applications.

[0073] The shared interface package is used to be integrated into the installation package of the application, and the electronic device can obtain the shared implementation package based on the shared interface package mapping. The shared interface package may include but is not limited to: the shared implementation package information that the application depends on, the reference information of the shared implementation package that the application depends on, etc. Among them, the shared implementation package information that the application depends on includes but is not limited to the identifier of the shared implementation package that the application depends on, or the identifier of the shared implementation package that the application depends on and the version number of the shared implementation package that the application depends on, etc. The reference information of the shared implementation package may include the application programming interface (API) for the electronic device to call the shared implementation package. The electronic device can export the shared implementation package based on the API of the shared implementation package, and then load and run the shared implementation package.

[0074] Not limited to API, the reference information of the shared implementation package can also be other implementation methods, which is not limited in this application.

[0075] For example, in the HarmonyOS system, the shared implementation package can be referred to as an HSP package, and the shared interface package can be referred to as a HAR package. As shown in Figure 2, the HAR package may include but is not limited to: the HSP package information that the application depends on, the API of the HSP package that the application depends on, etc. Among them, the HSP package information that the application depends on includes but is not limited to the identifier of the HSP package that the application depends on, or the identifier of the HSP package that the application depends on and the version number of the HSP package that the application depends on, etc. The HAR package is used for application integration in electronic devices.

[0076] In some embodiments, the hsp package information that the application depends on can also be called the configuration file of the har package, and the API of the hsp package that the application depends on can be called the interface exposed by the har package.

[0077] The following embodiments of this application are illustrated using the hsp package and har package in the HarmonyOS system as examples.

[0078] In a possible implementation, the hsp package may be pre-installed on the electronic device. If the hsp package is not pre-installed on the electronic device, the electronic device may also download the hsp package of the shared function package from the application store server.

[0079] Table 1

[0080] Table 1 exemplifies the composition of two shared function packages. For example, the first shared function package may include a first HAR package and a first HSP package. The second shared function package may include a second HAR package and a second HSP package.

[0081] When an application needs to use a shared function package, the har package of the shared function package needs to be integrated into the installation package of the application.

[0082] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG3 , when the third function package is a shared function package (e.g., the first shared function package), the first application's installation package may not integrate the third function package, but instead integrate the first HAR package of the third function package. The first HAR package does not include code files and has a relatively small data size. In this way, the data size of the first application's installation package can be reduced.

[0083] Similarly, as shown in (b) of FIG3 , the installation package of the second application may not integrate the third function package, but may integrate the first har package of the third function package. In this way, the data volume of the installation package of the second application can be reduced.

[0084] Optionally, the application of the electronic device can also integrate the HAR packages of multiple shared function packages. For example, when the first application needs to use the second shared function package, the second HAR package of the second shared function package can be integrated into the installation package of the first application.

[0085] Optionally, when the application of the electronic device needs to use multiple shared function packages, for example, the application of the electronic device needs to use the first shared function package and the second shared function package, the first HAR package of the first shared function package and the second HAR package of the second shared function package can be combined into one HAR package, and only one HAR package needs to be integrated into the installation package of the application of the electronic device.

[0086] The following embodiments of the present application are explained by taking the example that when an application of an electronic device uses a shared function package, the installation package of the application of the electronic device must contain a har package corresponding to each shared function package.

[0087] hsp package download stage

[0088] First, the application download scenario involved in this application is described.

[0089] 4A-4D are schematic diagrams showing the electronic device 100 receiving a user operation to download and install a first application.

[0090] The electronic device 100 may receive a user operation to download an installation package of a first application from an application store. The electronic device 100 may install the first application on the electronic device based on the installation package of the first application. After the first application is installed on the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 may display an application icon of the first application on the desktop.

[0091] Exemplarily, the first application may be a Huawei video application.

[0092] As shown in Figure 4A, Figure 4A shows the main interface 310 of the electronic device 100 before the Huawei Video app is installed. The main interface 310 includes multiple application icons, such as an icon for the Weather app, an icon for the Huawei Store app, an icon for the Smart Home app, an icon for the Sports & Health app, an icon for the Memo app, an icon for the Calendar app, an icon for the Life Service app, an icon for the Camera app, an icon for the Contacts app, an icon for the Phone app, and an icon for the Message app. The main interface 310 also displays a battery indicator, a weather indicator, a date indicator, a network signal indicator, a page indicator, and the like.

[0093] As shown in Figure 4A, the electronic device 100 can receive a user input operation (e.g., a single click) on the icon of the Huawei Store application. In response to the user input operation, the electronic device 100 can display the user interface 320 shown in Figure 4B. The user interface 320 is the main interface of the Huawei Store application. The user interface 320 includes an application search bar 3201 and recommended applications. The recommended applications can be Huawei Music applications, sports and health applications, etc. Among them, the electronic device 100 can receive a user input operation in the search bar 3201 (e.g., entering an application keyword in the search bar 3201), and the electronic device 100 will display the application search interface.

[0094] For example, the electronic device 100 receives the keyword "Huawei Video" entered by the user in the search bar, after which the electronic device 100 may display the download interface or opening interface of Huawei Video. If Application 1 is already installed locally, in response to the keyword "Huawei Video" entered by the user, the electronic device 100 will display the opening interface of Application 1. The interface may include the Huawei Video icon, Huawei Video introduction information, controls for opening Huawei Video, and so on.

[0095] For example, as shown in FIG4C , electronic device 100 receives a user input of the keyword "Huawei Video" in the search bar, after which electronic device 100 may display a Huawei Video download interface. The Huawei Video download interface may include a Huawei Video icon, a Huawei Video profile, a download control for the Huawei Video installation package, and the like.

[0096] 4C , the electronic device 100 may receive a user input operation (e.g., a single click) for the download control of the Huawei Video installation package. In response to the user's input operation, the electronic device 100 may download the installation package of the Huawei Video application and install the Huawei Video application.

[0097] As shown in Figure 4D, after the electronic device 100 has installed the Huawei Video application, the electronic device 100 can display the Huawei Video application icon 3101 in the main interface 310. The electronic device 100 can receive a user input operation (e.g., a single click) on the Huawei Video application icon 3101 in the main interface 310. In response to the user input operation, the electronic device 100 can display the content of the Huawei Video application, such as playing a video provided by the Huawei Video application.

[0098] FIG5A shows a schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 downloading the installation package of the first application.

[0099] S501 : The electronic device 100 sends the application identifier of the first application to the server 200 .

[0100] Exemplarily, the first application may be a Huawei video application.

[0101] As shown in Figures 4A-4D , when electronic device 100 needs to download a first application, electronic device 100 may receive a user input of the keyword "Huawei Video" in the search bar shown in Figure 4C . Subsequently, electronic device 100 may receive a user input operation (e.g., a single click) on the download control shown in Figure 4C . In response to the user input operation, electronic device 100 may send the application identifier "Huawei Video" of the Huawei Video application to server 200.

[0102] S502 : The electronic device 100 receives the installation package of the first application sent by the server 200 .

[0103] In some embodiments, after the electronic device 100 sends the application identifier of the first application to the server 200, the server 200 can obtain the installation package of the first application based on the application identifier of the first application. The server 200 then sends the installation package of the first application to the electronic device 100.

[0104] The installation package of the first application may include one or more function packages.

[0105] The installation package of the first application may also include one or more function packages, and one or more HAR packages of shared function packages.

[0106] The function package can be a unique function package of the first application and cannot be used by other applications. The hsp package of the shared function package can be used not only by the application itself but also by other applications.

[0107] S503 : The electronic device 100 installs a first application and stores the installation package of the first application in a first storage area of ​​the electronic device 100 .

[0108] After the electronic device 100 obtains the installation package of the first application sent by the server 200, the electronic device 100 can install the first application and install the installation package of the first application in the first storage area of ​​the electronic device 100. The installation package of the first application installed in the first storage area is only used by the first application and cannot be used by other applications (such as the second application).

[0109] The storage path of the installation package of the first application stored in the first storage area is the first storage path.

[0110] S504: The electronic device 100 needs to confirm whether the electronic device 100 locally stores a first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0111] When the electronic device 100 confirms that the first hsp package that the first application depends on is stored locally in the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 does not need to download the first hsp package that the first application depends on from the server 200, and the process ends.

[0112] When the electronic device 100 confirms that the electronic device 100 does not locally store the first hsp package that the first application depends on, the electronic device 100 needs to download the first hsp package that the first application depends on from the server 200 and execute S505.

[0113] Optionally, before executing S504, the electronic device 100 may determine whether the installation package of the first application includes a HAR package. If the electronic device 100 determines that the installation package of the first application does not include a HAR package, it indicates that the first application does not use a shared function package. After the electronic device 100 installs the first application and stores the installation package of the first application in the first storage area of ​​the electronic device 100, the process ends and the electronic device 100 does not need to execute S505.

[0114] When the electronic device 100 determines that the installation package of the first application includes the har package, it means that the first application needs to use the shared function package. After the electronic device 100 installs the first application and stores the installation package of the first application in the first storage area of ​​the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 also needs to execute S505.

[0115] When the electronic device 100 determines that the installation package of the first application includes a HAR package, for example, the HAR package is a first HAR package, the electronic device 100 can obtain the first HAR package. The electronic device 100 can obtain the HSP package information that the first application depends on from the first HAR package, and then obtain the name or ID of the first HSP package that the first application depends on from the HSP package information that the first application depends on. The HSP package information that the first application depends on can include the name or ID of the HSP package that the first application depends on, or the name or ID of the HSP package that the first application depends on and the version number of the HSP package that the first application depends on.

[0116] In the embodiment of FIG5A , the hsp package information that the first application depends on includes the name or ID of the hsp package that the first application depends on as an example for description.

[0117] The electronic device 100 can obtain the name or ID of the first hsp package that the first application depends on based on the hsp package information that the first application depends on, and based on the name or ID of the first hsp package, confirm whether the first hsp package that the first application depends on is stored on the electronic device 100.

[0118] S505 : The electronic device 100 sends a download notification to the server 200 .

[0119] When the electronic device 100 confirms that the electronic device 100 does not locally store the first hsp package that the first application depends on, the electronic device 100 can send a download notification to the server 200, and the download notification is used for the server 200 to download the first hsp package.

[0120] In a possible implementation, the download notification may carry the name or ID of the first hsp package. In other possible implementations, the name of the first hsp package and the download notification may also be sent to the server 200 separately. This application does not limit this.

[0121] S506 : The electronic device 100 receives the first HSP packet sent by the server 200 .

[0122] In some embodiments, after receiving the download notification sent by the electronic device 100, the server 200 can obtain the name of the first HSP package in response to the download notification, and obtain the first HSP package based on the name of the first HSP package. The server 200 then sends the first HSP package to the electronic device 100.

[0123] S507: The electronic device 100 installs the first HSP package and stores the first HSP package in a second storage area, which is different from the first storage area.

[0124] After the electronic device 100 obtains the first HSP package sent by the server 200, the electronic device 100 can install the first HSP package and store the first HSP package in the second storage area, which is different from the first storage area. In this way, the first HSP package stored in the second storage area is not limited to being used by the first application, but can also be used by other applications (such as the second application).

[0125] Optionally, multiple hsp packages can be stored in the electronic device 100. In order to facilitate the management of multiple hsp packages, the electronic device 100 can create an hsp package upper directory, and the hsp package upper directory can include multiple hsp package subdirectories. Different hsp packages can be stored in different hsp package subdirectories. For example, when the electronic device 100 installs the first hsp package, the electronic device 100 can create a subdirectory of the hsp package upper directory (for example, the first hsp package subdirectory), and install and store the first hsp package in the first hsp package subdirectory. For another example, when the electronic device 100 installs the second hsp package, the electronic device 100 can create a subdirectory of the hsp package upper directory (for example, the second hsp package subdirectory), and install and store the second hsp package in the second hsp package subdirectory. The first hsp package subdirectory and the second hsp package subdirectory are different.

[0126] Optionally, in other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may not include an upper-level directory of the hsp package, but only include subdirectories of different hsp packages, and this application does not limit this.

[0127] The first hsp package subdirectory can be referred to as a second storage area. The storage path of the first hsp package stored in the first hsp package subdirectory is the second storage path.

[0128] The second hsp package subdirectory can be referred to as a third storage area. The storage path of the first hsp package stored in the second hsp package subdirectory is a fifth storage path.

[0129] In some examples, each hap package subdirectory in the hsp package parent directory can be mounted by non-hsp package applications when needed to implement corresponding functions.

[0130] Optionally, before the electronic device 100 installs the first hsp package, the electronic device 100 can verify whether the first hsp package is an installation package of a shared function package. In this way, the security of the hsp package can be guaranteed. Specifically, when the server 200 sends the first hsp package to the electronic device 100, it can also send a first verification value to the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can obtain a second verification value locally. When the first verification value sent by the server 200 is the same as the second verification value stored locally or meets a preset condition, the electronic device 100 can determine that the first hsp package is an installation package of a shared function package, and the electronic device 100 then stores the first hsp package in the second storage area.

[0131] Optionally, after the electronic device 100 installs the first application, the electronic device 100 can obtain the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package. The first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package are stored in the package management module. In this way, when the electronic device 100 needs to use the first application, the electronic device 100 can directly obtain the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package from the package management module to speed up the startup speed of the first application.

[0132] Optionally, S503 and S507 may be executed simultaneously.

[0133] FIG5B shows a schematic diagram of an electronic device 100 storing an hsp package and an application installation package.

[0134] As shown in Figure 5B, the first storage area stores the installation packages of various applications. The application installation packages include the application's function packages and the HAR packages of the shared function packages that the applications depend on. For example, the first storage area stores the installation package of the first application and the installation package of the second application. The installation package of the first application includes the first function package, the second function package, and the first HAR package. The installation package of the second application includes the third function package, the fourth function package, and the first HAR package.

[0135] Stored in the second storage area are HSP packages of shared function packages that the application depends on, such as the first HSP package of the first shared function package and the second HSP package of the second shared function package.

[0136] In some embodiments, the hsp package information that the first application depends on may include not only the name or ID of the hsp package that the first application depends on, but also the version number of the hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0137] Then the electronic device 100 not only needs to determine whether the electronic device 100 locally stores the hsp package that the first application depends on, but also needs to determine whether the version number of the hsp package is the same as the version number of the hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0138] FIG6A shows another schematic diagram of how the electronic device 100 downloads the installation package of the first application.

[0139] For S601-S603, please refer to the description in S501-S503, and this application will not go into details here.

[0140] S604. The electronic device 100 obtains the name of the first hsp package that the first application depends on and the first version number of the first hsp package based on the hsp package information that the first application depends on.

[0141] S605: The electronic device 100 needs to determine whether the electronic device 100 locally stores a first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0142] In some examples, the electronic device 100 can obtain the first HAR package from the installation package of the first application. The first HAR package may include the HSP package information that the first application depends on and the API of the HSP package that the first application depends on.

[0143] The hsp package information that the first application depends on may include the name of the first hsp package that the first application depends on and the version number of the first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0144] After obtaining the first HAR package, the electronic device 100 can obtain the first HSP package information that the first application depends on from the first HAR package, and then obtain the name of the first HSP package that the first application depends on and the first version number of the first HSP package based on the first HSP package information that the first application depends on.

[0145] After obtaining the name of the first hsp package that the first application depends on, the electronic device 100 can confirm whether the first hsp package that the first application depends on is stored on the electronic device 100 based on the name of the first hsp package.

[0146] When the electronic device 100 confirms that the electronic device 100 locally stores the first HSP package that the first application depends on, the electronic device 100 also needs to determine whether the version number of the first HSP package locally stored in the electronic device 100 is the same as the version number of the first HSP package recorded in the first HAR package, and execute S606.

[0147] When the electronic device 100 confirms that the electronic device 100 does not locally store the first hsp package that the first application depends on, the electronic device 100 needs to download the first version of the first hsp package that the first application depends on from the server 200 and execute S607.

[0148] S606: The electronic device 100 needs to determine whether the second version number of the first hsp package stored locally in the electronic device 100 is the same as the first version number.

[0149] The functional characteristics of the shared function package can be updated. After the functional characteristics of the shared function package are updated, the version number of the shared function package also needs to be updated. The electronic device 100 needs to determine whether the second version number of the first hsp package stored locally by the electronic device 100 is the same as the first version number.

[0150] When the second version number of the first hsp package stored locally in the electronic device 100 is the same as the first version number, the electronic device 100 does not need to download the first version of the first hsp package from the server 200, and the process ends.

[0151] If the second version number of the first HSP package stored locally in the electronic device 100 is different from the first version number, the electronic device 100 needs to download the first version of the first HSP package from the server 200 and execute S607. In some examples, the first version number is higher than the second version number, and the first HSP package with the second version number can be updated to the first HSP package of the first version.

[0152] S607 : The electronic device 100 sends a download notification to the server 200 .

[0153] When the electronic device 100 confirms that the second version number of the first hsp package stored locally in the electronic device 100 is different from the first version number, the electronic device 100 can send a download notification to the server 200, which is used for the server 200 to download the first version of the first hsp package.

[0154] In a possible implementation, the download notification may carry the name of the first hsp package and the first version number of the first hsp package. In other possible implementations, the name of the first hsp package and the first version number of the first hsp package may also be sent to the server 200 separately with the download notification. This application is not limited to this.

[0155] S608 : The electronic device 100 receives the first hsp packet of the first version sent by the server 200 .

[0156] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may send a download notification to the server 200. After receiving the download notification, the server 200 may obtain the name of the first HSP package and the first version number of the first HSP package, and obtain the first version of the first HSP package based on the name of the first HSP package and the first version number of the first HSP package.

[0157] S609: The electronic device 100 installs the first hsp package of the first version and stores the first hsp package of the first version in a second storage area, which is different from the first storage area.

[0158] After the electronic device 100 obtains the first version of the first hsp package sent by the server 200, the electronic device 100 can install the first version of the first hsp package and store the first version of the first hsp package in the second storage area, which is different from the first storage area. In this way, the first version of the first hsp package stored in the second storage area is not limited to being used by the first application, but can also be used by other applications (such as the second application).

[0159] The storage path of the first hsp package of the first version stored in the second storage area is the second storage path.

[0160] Optionally, before the electronic device 100 stores the first hsp package of the first version in the second storage area, the electronic device 100 can verify whether the first hsp package of the first version is an installation package of the shared function package. In this way, the security of the hsp package can be guaranteed. Specifically, when the server 200 sends the first hsp package of the first version to the electronic device 100, it can also send a third verification value to the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can obtain the second verification value locally. When the third verification value sent by the server 200 is the same as the second verification value stored locally or meets the preset conditions, the electronic device 100 can determine that the first hsp package of the first version is an installation package of the shared function package, and the electronic device 100 then stores the first hsp package of the first version in the second storage area.

[0161] Optionally, after the electronic device 100 installs the first hsp package of the first version and stores the first hsp package of the first version in the second storage area, the electronic device 100 can obtain the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package of the first version. The first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package of the first version are stored in the package management module. In this way, when the electronic device 100 needs to use the first application, the electronic device 100 can obtain the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package of the first version from the package management module to speed up the startup speed of the first application.

[0162] Optionally, S604 and S609 may be executed simultaneously.

[0163] FIG6B shows another schematic diagram of an electronic device 100 storing an hsp package and an application installation package.

[0164] As shown in Figure 6B, the first storage area stores the installation packages of various applications. The application installation packages include the application's function packages and the HAR packages of the shared function packages that the applications depend on. For example, the first storage area stores the installation package of the first application and the installation package of the second application. The installation package of the first application includes the first function package, the second function package, and the first HAR package. The installation package of the second application includes the third function package, the fourth function package, and the first HAR package.

[0165] The second storage area stores the installation packages of the shared function packages, such as the first hsp package of the first version of the first shared function package and the first hsp package of the second version of the first shared function package. For example, the first version number may be app version 1.0 and the second version number may be app version 2.0.

[0166] hsp package update and deletion

[0167] After storing the HSP package in the second storage area, the electronic device 100 can manage the HSP package, such as updating or deleting it.

[0168] 1. The server 200 can automatically send HSP packets with a usage frequency greater than a preset value to the electronic device 100.

[0169] The server 200 stores multiple HSP packages. Different electronic devices can download multiple HSP packages from the server 200. The server 200 can count the usage frequency of each HSP package, determine the HSP package with a usage frequency greater than a preset value, and automatically send the HSP package with a usage frequency greater than the preset value to each electronic device.

[0170] Exemplarily, after the server 200 determines that the usage frequency of the first hsp package or the first version of the first hsp package is greater than a preset value, the server 200 may send the first hsp package or the first version of the first hsp package to the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 may store the first hsp package or the first version of the first hsp package in the second storage area. In this way, when the electronic device 100 receives a user operation to download the first application, the first application depends on the first hsp package or the first version of the first hsp package. The electronic device 100 no longer needs to download the first hsp package or the first version of the first hsp package from the server 200, and only needs to download the installation package of the first application. In this way, the speed at which the electronic device 100 downloads and installs the first application can be accelerated.

[0171] 2. After the version of the hsp package is updated, the server 200 can automatically send the latest version of the hsp package to the electronic device 100.

[0172] The hsp package stored in the server 200 has a version number. After the hsp package is upgraded, the version number of the hsp package also needs to be updated accordingly. The server 200 can automatically send the hsp package with the updated version number to each electronic device.

[0173] For example, the server 200 stores the first hsp package of the second version. After the first hsp package of the second version is upgraded, the first hsp package of the first version can be obtained. The server 200 can automatically send the first hsp package of the first version to the electronic device 100. In this way, when the electronic device 100 receives a user operation to download the first application, the first application depends on the first hsp package of the first version. The electronic device 100 no longer needs to download the first hsp package of the first version from the server 200, and only needs to download the installation package of the first application. This can speed up the download and installation of the first application by the electronic device 100.

[0174] 3. The electronic device 100 may also automatically delete the HSP packets that have not been used for more than the first time period.

[0175] Multiple HSP packages are stored on the electronic device 100. These HSP packages can be downloaded from the server 200 when the electronic device 100 downloads an application, or these HSP packages can be preset by the system, or these HSP packages can be automatically sent to the electronic device 100 by the server 200, or these HSP packages can be downloaded from the server 200 periodically / irregularly when the electronic device 100 responds to an automatic update request set by the user.

[0176] The electronic device 100 can count the usage frequencies of the multiple hsp packages stored in the electronic device 100 and delete the hsp packages that have not been used for more than the first time period to save the storage space of the electronic device 100.

[0177] Exemplarily, the electronic device 100 stores a first HSP package of a first version and a first HSP package of a second version. If the electronic device 100 determines that the first HSP package of the second version has not been used for a first period of time, the electronic device 100 may delete the first HSP package of the second version to save storage space of the electronic device 100.

[0178] hsp package usage stage

[0179] FIG7 shows a schematic diagram of the interaction of functional modules for running an hsp package.

[0180] As shown in FIG7 , the functional modules include but are not limited to a storage module, a package management module, an application operation management module, an application startup (app spawn) module, and the like.

[0181] The storage module is used to store the application installation package and the hsp package that the application depends on.

[0182] The first storage area in the storage module stores the installation package of the application, and the second storage area in the storage module stores the hsp package that the application depends on.

[0183] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG7 , the first storage area stores an installation package of a first application, and the second storage area stores a first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0184] The storage module is further configured to send the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package to the package management module.

[0185] The package management module is further configured to store a first storage path for storing the installation package of the first application and a second storage path for storing the first hsp package.

[0186] The application operation management module is used to respond to user operations and start the first application.

[0187] The application operation management module is also used to send application startup notifications to the package management module.

[0188] In one possible implementation, the application startup notification may carry the identifier of the first application. In other possible implementations, the identifier of the first application may also be sent to the package management module independently of the application startup notification. This application does not limit this.

[0189] The package management module is further configured to, in response to the application startup notification, acquire the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first HSP package based on the identifier of the first application.

[0190] In one possible implementation, after receiving the application startup notification sent by the application execution management module, the package management module can obtain the first storage path of the installation package of the first application based on the identifier of the first application, obtain the installation package of the first application, determine the identifier of the first hsp package that the first application depends on recorded in the installation package of the first application, and then obtain the second storage path of the first hsp package based on the identifier of the first hsp package.

[0191] In other possible implementations, the package management module may pre-bind and store the first storage path of the first application's installation package and the second storage path of the first HSP package that the first application depends on. Subsequently, upon receiving an application startup notification from the application execution management module, the package management module may directly retrieve the first storage path of the first application's installation package and the second storage path of the first HSP package based on the first application's identifier, thereby reducing the time the package management module takes to search for the second storage path of the first HSP package that the first application depends on and accelerating application startup.

[0192] The package management module is also used to send the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on to the application startup module after obtaining the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0193] The application startup module is used to receive the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on sent by the package management module, and create a process sandbox for the first application.

[0194] The application startup module is further configured to store a first storage path of the installation package of the first application and a second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on in the process sandbox of the first application.

[0195] In this way, after the first application is running, it can obtain the installation package of the first application and the first hsp package that the first application depends on based on the first storage path of the installation package of the first application in the process sandbox of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on, and run the installation package of the first application and the first hsp package that the first application depends on to realize the functional characteristics of the first application.

[0196] FIG8 shows another schematic diagram of the interaction of functional modules for running an hsp package.

[0197] The embodiment corresponding to FIG8 is similar to the embodiment corresponding to FIG7 , except that, in the embodiment of FIG8 , the version number of the hsp package needs to be distinguished.

[0198] The storage module is used to store the application installation package and the hsp package that the application depends on.

[0199] As shown in FIG8 , the first storage area in the storage module stores the installation package of the application, and the second storage area in the storage module stores the hsp package that the application depends on.

[0200] Exemplarily, the first storage area stores an installation package of a first application. The second storage area stores a first version of a first HSP package and a second version of a first HSP package. Exemplarily, the first version number may be app version 1.0, and the second version number may be app version 2.0.

[0201] The storage module is also used to send the first storage path of the installation package of the first application, the second storage path of the first hsp package of the first version, and the fourth storage path of the first hsp package of the second version to the package management module.

[0202] The package management module is also used to store the first storage path of the installation package of the first application, the second storage path of the first hsp package of the first version, and the fourth storage path of the first hsp package of the second version.

[0203] The application operation management module is used to respond to user operations and start the first application.

[0204] The application operation management module is also used to send application startup notifications to the package management module.

[0205] In one possible implementation, the application startup notification may carry the identifier of the first application. In other possible implementations, the identifier of the first application may also be sent to the package management module independently of the application startup notification. This application does not limit this.

[0206] The package management module is further configured to obtain, in response to the application startup notification, a first storage path of the installation package of the first application and a second storage path of the first version of the first hsp package based on the identifier of the first application.

[0207] In one possible implementation, after receiving the application startup notification sent by the application execution management module, the package management module can obtain the first storage path of the installation package of the first application based on the identifier of the first application, obtain the installation package of the first application, determine the identifier of the first hsp package of the first version that the first application depends on recorded in the installation package of the first application, and then obtain the second storage path of the first hsp package of the first version based on the identifier of the first hsp package of the first version.

[0208] In other possible implementations, the package management module may bind and store the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first version of the first HSP package that the first application depends on in advance. Subsequently, upon receiving the application startup notification sent by the application execution management module, the package management module may directly retrieve the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first version of the first HSP package based on the identifier of the first application, thereby reducing the time required by the package management module to search for the second storage path of the first version of the first HSP package that the first application depends on, and accelerating the startup of the application.

[0209] The package management module is also used to send the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package on which the first application depends to the application startup module after obtaining the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package on which the first application depends.

[0210] The application startup module is used to receive the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package of the first version sent by the package management module, and create a process sandbox for the first application.

[0211] The application startup module is further configured to store a first storage path of the installation package of the first application and a second storage path of the first hsp package of the first version in the process sandbox of the first application.

[0212] In this way, after the first application is running, it can obtain the installation package of the first application and the first hsp package of the first version that the first application depends on based on the first storage path of the installation package of the first application in the process sandbox of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package of the first version that the first application depends on, and run the installation package of the first application and the first hsp package of the first version that the first application depends on to realize the functional characteristics of the first application.

[0213] FIG9 shows a schematic flow chart of a method for running a first application.

[0214] S901: The package management module stores the storage paths of one or more application installation packages and one or more hsp packages.

[0215] The storage area of ​​the application installation package is different from the storage area of ​​the hsp package. For example, the application installation package can be stored in the first storage area, and the hsp package can be stored in the second storage area. The first storage area is different from the second storage area.

[0216] Table 2

[0217] Table 2 shows a storage path of an application installation package stored in a package management module. The storage path of the application installation package is stored in a one-to-one correspondence with the application identifier. The electronic device 100 can obtain the storage path of the application installation package based on the application identifier.

[0218] For example, the electronic device 100 may obtain the storage path of the installation package of the first application as the first storage path based on the application identifier of the first application and the storage path of the installation package of the second application as the third storage path based on the application identifier of the second application.

[0219] Table 3

[0220] Table 3 shows a storage path of an HSP package stored in a package management module. The storage path of the HSP package is stored in a one-to-one correspondence with the identifier of the HSP package. The electronic device 100 can obtain the storage path of the HSP package based on the identifier of the HSP package.

[0221] Exemplarily, the electronic device 100 may obtain the storage path of the first hsp package as the second storage path based on the hsp package identifier of the first hsp package. The electronic device 100 may obtain the storage path of the second hsp package as the fifth storage path based on the hsp package identifier of the second hsp package.

[0222] Table 4

[0223] Table 4 shows another storage path for an HSP package stored within a package management module. Table 4 differs from Table 3 in that, in Table 4, the HSP packages stored by electronic device 100 are further distinguished by version number. The storage path of an HSP package is stored in a one-to-one correspondence with the HSP package identifier and the HSP package identifier. Electronic device 100 can obtain the storage path of the HSP package based on the HSP package identifier and the HSP package version number.

[0224] Exemplarily, the electronic device 100 may obtain the storage path of the first version of the first HSP package as the second storage path based on the HSP package identifier of the first HSP package and the first version number of the first HSP package. The electronic device 100 may obtain the storage path of the second version of the first HSP package as the fourth storage path based on the HSP package identifier of the first HSP package and the second version number of the first HSP package.

[0225] In one possible implementation, the package management module may not store the storage paths of one or more application installation packages and one or more HSP packages. Alternatively, in addition to storing the storage paths of one or more application installation packages and one or more HSP packages, the package management module may also store application installation information. The application installation information records the storage paths of the application installation packages and the storage paths of the HSP packages that the applications depend on.

[0226] Table 5

[0227] Table 5 shows the installation information of an application stored in a package management module. The installation information of the application is stored in a one-to-one correspondence with the identification of the application. The electronic device 100 can obtain the installation information of the application based on the identification of the application.

[0228] Exemplarily, the electronic device 100 may obtain the installation information of the first application based on the application identifier of the first application. The installation information of the first application may include the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0229] The electronic device 100 can also obtain the installation information of the second application based on the application identifier of the second application. The installation information of the second application can include the third storage path of the installation package of the second application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the second application depends on.

[0230] The package management module can also store installation information of more other applications, which is not limited in this application.

[0231] Table 6

[0232] Table 6 shows another type of application installation information stored in a package management module. The application installation information and the application identifier are stored in a one-to-one correspondence. The electronic device 100 can obtain the application installation information based on the application identifier.

[0233] The difference between Table 6 and Table 5 is that in Table 5, the hsp package stored in the electronic device 100 also needs to distinguish the version number.

[0234] Exemplarily, the electronic device 100 can obtain the installation information of the first application based on the application identifier of the first application. The installation information of the first application can include the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first version of the first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0235] The electronic device 100 can also obtain the installation information of the second application based on the application identifier of the second application. The installation information of the second application can include the third storage path of the installation package of the second application and the second storage path of the first version of the first hsp package that the second application depends on.

[0236] The package management module can also store installation information of more other applications, which is not limited in this application.

[0237] S902: The application operation management module obtains the activation notification.

[0238] The electronic device 100 may receive an operation from the user and start the first application.

[0239] Exemplarily, the first application may be a Huawei video application, and the operation of opening the first application may be an input operation (eg, a single click) on the icon 3101 of the Huawei video application shown in FIG. 4D .

[0240] In response to the user's operation, the application execution management module may obtain an activation notification, where the activation notification is used to activate the first application.

[0241] When the application execution management module obtains the start notification, the application execution management module may also obtain the identifier of the first application.

[0242] In a possible implementation, the identifier of the first application may be carried in an activation notification and sent to the application execution management module.

[0243] In other possible implementations, the identifier of the first application may also be sent to the application execution management module independently of the start notification, and this application does not limit this.

[0244] S903: The application operation management module sends an activation notification to the package management module.

[0245] Likewise, the application execution management module needs to send the identifier of the first application to the package management module.

[0246] In a possible implementation, the identifier of the first application may be carried in an opening notification sent to the package management module.

[0247] In other possible implementations, the identifier of the first application may also be sent to the package management module independently of the start notification, and this application does not limit this.

[0248] S904: The package management module obtains installation information of the first application based on the identifier of the first application.

[0249] After obtaining the start notification sent by the application execution management module and the identifier of the first application, the package management module can obtain the installation information of the first application based on the identifier of the first application in response to the start notification.

[0250] As can be seen from S901, in some embodiments, the package management module stores installation information for multiple applications, and the package management module can directly obtain the installation information of the first application from Table 5 or Table 6 based on the identifier of the first application. Exemplarily, the installation information of the first application may include the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on. Exemplarily, the installation information of the first application may also include the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first version of the first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0251] In other embodiments, the package management module does not store the installation information of multiple applications. The package management module can obtain the installation information of the first application from the storage path of the installation package of one or more applications and the storage path of one or more hsp packages stored in the package management module based on the identifier of the first application. Specifically, the package management module can obtain the first storage path of the installation package of the first application from Table 2 based on the identifier of the first application. Then, based on the first storage path of the installation package of the first application, the installation package of the first application is obtained, and the package management module can obtain the hsp package information that the first application depends on from the installation package of the first application.

[0252] In one possible implementation, the HSP package information that the first application depends on may include an HSP package identifier (e.g., the first HSP package) that the first application depends on. The package management module may obtain the second storage path of the first HSP package from Table 3 based on the identifier of the first HSP package. The package management module may then generate installation information for the first application based on the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first HSP package.

[0253] In other possible implementations, the HSP package information that the first application depends on may include the HSP package identifier (e.g., the first HSP package) and version number (e.g., the first version number) that the first application depends on. The package management module may obtain the second storage path of the first HSP package of the first version from Table 4 based on the identifier and the first version number of the first HSP package. The package management module may then generate installation information for the first application based on the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first HSP package of the first version.

[0254] Optionally, the HSP package stored on the electronic device 100 is updateable. For example, an HSP package that has not been used for a long time may be deleted. In this case, before executing S904, the package management module may determine whether the HSP package that the first application depends on exists. If it does not exist, the package management module may download the HSP package that the first application depends on from the server 200. This can avoid the situation where the HSP package that the first application depends on is deleted, causing the first application to fail to start.

[0255] S905: The package management module sends the installation information of the first application to the application startup module.

[0256] After acquiring the installation information of the first application, the package management module sends the installation information of the first application to the application startup module, so that the application startup module can start the first application based on the installation information of the first application.

[0257] S906: The application startup module creates a process sandbox for the first application.

[0258] S907: The application startup module stores the installation information of the first application in the process sandbox of the first application.

[0259] Before launching the first application, the application launch module creates a process sandbox for the first application. It then stores or mounts the installation information for the first application, sent by the package management module, within the first application's process sandbox. This ensures that only the first application can access information within the first application's process sandbox, while other application processes cannot, thus ensuring the security of process operation.

[0260] S908. The application startup module sends the process ID of the first application to the package management module.

[0261] S909: The package management module sends the process ID of the first application to the application startup module.

[0262] After creating the process sandbox for the first application, the application startup module can obtain the process ID of the first application and send it to the package management module. After receiving the process ID of the first application from the application startup module, the package management module sends the process ID of the first application to the application startup module. In this way, the application startup module can inform the package management module and the application startup module that the first application has been launched.

[0263] S910. The application startup module obtains the first storage path of the installation package of the first application from the installation information of the first application, obtains the installation package of the first application based on the first storage path, and obtains the API of the first hsp package that the first application depends on or the API of the first version of the first hsp package from the installation package of the first application.

[0264] The API of the first hsp package may include one or more APIs. The electronic device may export the first hsp package based on the API of the first hsp package, and then load and run the first hsp package.

[0265] S911. The application startup module runs the first application in the process sandbox of the first application based on the API of the first hsp package or the API of the first version of the first hsp package and the installation information of the first application.

[0266] After the first application is started, if the first application needs to use the hsp package, the application startup module can obtain the first storage path of the installation package of the first application from the installation information of the first application, and obtain the installation package of the first application based on the first storage path. The application startup module can obtain the API of the first hsp package that the first application depends on or the API of the first version of the first hsp package that the first application depends on from the installation package of the first application. The application startup module then runs the first application based on the API of the first hsp package and the second storage path of the first hsp package in the process sandbox of the first application and the first storage path of the installation package of the first application in the process sandbox of the first application. Or the application startup module then runs the first application based on the API of the first version of the first hsp package and the second storage path of the first version of the first hsp package in the process sandbox of the first application and the first storage path of the installation package of the first application in the process sandbox of the first application. In this way, the preset function of the hsp package is realized through the API of the hsp package recorded in the installation package of the first application.

[0267] Next, the application startup module will be described on how to run the first application.

[0268] FIG10 shows a schematic diagram of an application startup module running a first application.

[0269] S1001. The package management module obtains a first data packet based on installation information of a first application.

[0270] S1002: The package management module sends the first data packet to the application startup module.

[0271] Exemplarily, the installation information of the first application may include a first storage path of the installation package of the first application.

[0272] Exemplarily, the installation information of the first application may include a first storage path of the installation package of the first application and a second storage path of a first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0273] Exemplarily, the installation information of the first application may also include a first storage path of the installation package of the first application and a second storage path of a first version of a first hsp package that the first application depends on.

[0274] The package management module may obtain a first data packet based on the installation information of the first application, and send the installation information of the first application to the application startup module via the first data packet.

[0275] The first data packet may include a first field, and the value of the first field is used to indicate whether the first application depends on the hsp package.

[0276] For example, the first field may be the HspList.totalLength field. If the value of the HspList.totalLength field is 1, it indicates that the first application depends on the HSP package. If the value of the HspList.totalLength field is 0, it indicates that the first application does not depend on the HSP package.

[0277] In the case where the first application depends on an HSP package, the first data packet can identify a unique HSP package through multiple fields. Because the first application may depend on multiple HSP packages, different HSP packages can be identified by the values ​​of the multiple fields.

[0278] For example, the multiple fields used to uniquely identify an HSP package may be a bundles field, a modules field, and a versions field. The bundles field is used to fill in the name of the HSP package, the modules field is used to fill in the name of the module to which the HSP package belongs, and the versions field is used to fill in the version number of the HSP package. Optionally, the modules field, or both the modules field and the versions field may not be included. Each HSP package can be uniquely identified by the values ​​of the bundles field, the modules field, and the versions field, thereby determining the storage path of each HSP package.

[0279] Optionally, the installation information of the first application can also be sent to the application startup module through multiple different data packets. Exemplarily, the first storage path of the installation package of the first application is sent to the application startup module through a data packet. The storage paths of one or more hsp packages that the first application depends on can be sent to the application startup module through multiple data packets respectively, and the storage paths of one or more hsp packages that the first application depends on can also be sent to the application startup module through a data packet. This application does not limit this.

[0280] The following embodiments of the present application are described using a data packet (eg, the first data packet) as an example.

[0281] Optionally, the packet management module may send the one or more data packets to the application startup module through a socket channel.

[0282] S1003: The application startup module determines from the first field in the first data packet whether the first application depends on the hsp package.

[0283] Optionally, the first field may be an HspList.totalLength field. If the value of the HspList.totalLength field is 1, it indicates that the first application depends on an HSP package, and S1010 to S1015 are executed.

[0284] If the value of the HspList.totalLength field is 0, it means that the first application has no dependent hsp package, and S1004-S1009 are executed.

[0285] S1004: The application startup module obtains a first storage path of the installation package of the first application from the first data packet.

[0286] S1005: The application startup module creates a first temporary storage area, and stores a first storage path of the installation package of the first application in the first temporary storage area.

[0287] S1006: The application startup module calls the DoStartAPP() method to create a process for the first application.

[0288] Optionally, the process of creating the first application is not limited to calling the DoStartAPP() method. The application startup module can also create the process of the first application through other methods, and this application does not limit this.

[0289] S1007: The application startup module calls the SetAppSandbox() method to create a process sandbox for the first application.

[0290] Optionally, the process sandbox of the first application is not limited to being created by calling the SetAppSandbox() method. The application startup module can also create the process sandbox of the first application through other methods, and this application does not limit this.

[0291] S1008. The application startup module calls SetAppSandbox() to mount the first storage path of the installation package of the first application into the process sandbox of the first application.

[0292] S1009: The application startup module clears and releases the first temporary storage area.

[0293] In this way, after the application startup module mounts the first storage path of the installation package of the first application into the process sandbox of the first application, the data in the first temporary storage area can be cleared and the first temporary storage area can be released, saving storage space of the electronic device 100.

[0294] If the value of the HspList.totalLength field is 1, it means that the first application has a dependent hsp package, and S1010-S1015 can be executed.

[0295] S1010. The application startup module obtains a first storage path of an installation package of a first application and a second storage path of a first hsp package that the first application depends on from a first data packet.

[0296] S1011. The application startup module creates a first temporary storage area and a second temporary storage area, stores the first storage path of the installation package of the first application in the first temporary storage area, and stores the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on in the second temporary storage area.

[0297] Optionally, the application startup module may not create the second temporary storage area, and store the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on in the first temporary storage area. This application does not limit this.

[0298] S1012: Call the DoStartAPP() method to create a process for the first application.

[0299] Optionally, the process of creating the first application is not limited to calling the DoStartAPP() method. The application startup module can also create the process of the first application through other methods, and this application does not limit this.

[0300] S1013: Call the SetAppSandbox() method to create a process sandbox for the first application.

[0301] Optionally, the process sandbox of the first application is not limited to being created by calling the SetAppSandbox() method. The application startup module can also create the process sandbox of the first application through other methods, and this application does not limit this.

[0302] S1014. Call SetAppSandbox() to mount the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on into the process sandbox of the first application.

[0303] S1015: Clear and release the first temporary storage area and the second temporary storage area.

[0304] In this way, after the application startup module mounts the first storage path of the installation package of the first application and the second storage path of the first hsp package that the first application depends on into the process sandbox of the first application, the data in the first temporary storage area and the second temporary storage area can be cleared, and the first temporary storage area and the second temporary storage area can be released, saving storage space of the electronic device 100.

[0305] Referring to FIG11 , FIG11 shows a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device.

[0306] The electronic device 100 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, an artificial intelligence (AI) device, a wearable device, an in-vehicle device, a smart home device, and / or a smart city device. The embodiments of the present application do not impose any particular restrictions on the specific type of the electronic device.

[0307] The electronic device 100 may include a processor 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a universal serial bus (USB) interface 130, a charging management module 140, a power management module 141, a battery 142, an antenna 1, an antenna 2, a mobile communication module 150, a wireless communication module 160, an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, an earphone interface 170D, a sensor module 180, a button 190, a motor 191, an indicator 192, a camera 193, a display screen 194, and a subscriber identification module (SIM) card interface 195, etc. The sensor module 180 may include a pressure sensor 180A, a gyroscope sensor 180B, an air pressure sensor 180C, a magnetic sensor 180D, an acceleration sensor 180E, a distance sensor 180F, a proximity light sensor 180G, a fingerprint sensor 180H, a temperature sensor 180J, a touch sensor 180K, an ambient light sensor 180L, a bone conduction sensor 180M, etc.

[0308] It should be understood that the structure illustrated in the embodiments of the present invention does not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine or separate certain components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0309] The processor 110 may include one or more processing units. For example, the processor 110 may include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and / or a neural-network processing unit (NPU). The different processing units may be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors.

[0310] The controller can generate operation control signals according to the instruction operation code and timing signal to complete the control of instruction fetching and execution.

[0311] Processor 110 may also include a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in processor 110 is a cache memory. This memory can store instructions or data that have just been used or are being recycled by processor 110. If processor 110 needs to use the same instruction or data again, it can directly access the memory. This avoids duplicate accesses, reduces processor 110 latency, and thus improves system efficiency.

[0312] In some embodiments, the processor 110 may include one or more interfaces. The interfaces may include an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface, an inter-integrated circuit sound (I2S) interface, a pulse code modulation (PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART) interface, a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI), a general-purpose input / output (GPIO) interface, a subscriber identity module (SIM) interface, and / or a universal serial bus (USB) interface.

[0313] The I2C interface is a bidirectional synchronous serial bus that includes a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). In some embodiments, the processor 110 may include multiple I2C bus lines. The processor 110 may be coupled to the touch sensor 180K, the charger, the flash, the camera 193, and the like via different I2C bus interfaces. For example, the processor 110 may be coupled to the touch sensor 180K via the I2C interface, enabling communication between the processor 110 and the touch sensor 180K via the I2C bus interface, thereby implementing the touch function of the electronic device 100.

[0314] The I2S interface can be used for audio communication. In some embodiments, the processor 110 can include multiple I2S buses. The processor 110 can be coupled to the audio module 170 via the I2S bus to enable communication between the processor 110 and the audio module 170. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 can transmit audio signals to the wireless communication module 160 via the I2S interface, enabling the function of answering calls through a Bluetooth headset.

[0315] The PCM interface can also be used for audio communication, sampling, quantizing, and encoding analog signals. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 and the wireless communication module 160 can be coupled via a PCM bus interface. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 can also transmit audio signals to the wireless communication module 160 via the PCM interface, enabling the function of answering calls via a Bluetooth headset. Both the I2S interface and the PCM interface can be used for audio communication.

[0316] The UART interface is a universal serial data bus used for asynchronous communication. This bus can be a bidirectional communication bus. It converts the data to be transmitted between serial communication and parallel communication. In some embodiments, the UART interface is typically used to connect the processor 110 and the wireless communication module 160. For example, the processor 110 communicates with the Bluetooth module in the wireless communication module 160 via the UART interface to implement Bluetooth functionality. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 can transmit audio signals to the wireless communication module 160 via the UART interface, enabling the function of playing music through Bluetooth headphones.

[0317] The MIPI interface can be used to connect the processor 110 to peripheral devices such as the display 194 and the camera 193. MIPI interfaces include the camera serial interface (CSI) and the display serial interface (DSI). In some embodiments, the processor 110 and the camera 193 communicate via the CSI interface to implement the camera function of the electronic device 100. The processor 110 and the display 194 communicate via the DSI interface to implement the display function of the electronic device 100.

[0318] The GPIO interface can be configured via software. The GPIO interface can be configured as either a control signal or a data signal.
