Application Sharing Link With Source Identifier For Automatic Friend Relationship Building
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for sharing game applications on social platforms struggle to build friend relationships between users who are not already connected within the same platform, leading to reduced interaction and undesirable user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that generates an application-sharing link with a source client's identifier, allowing users to share the link with target clients, who then install the application and log in, enabling the platform to automatically build a friend relationship between the users based on the carried identifiers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the current method of sharing game applications is used, then the application can be shared through existing social platform friend relationships, but the friend relationship between users of the application cannot be built automatically, reducing interaction and user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-embedding the source user's identifier into the sharing link and installation package before the target user installs the application. This allows the system to automatically identify and establish friend relationships without requiring manual intervention after installation, thus improving automation while maintaining ease of sharing operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the sharing link and installation package as intermediaries to transmit the source user's identifier to the target user's device. This intermediary mechanism enables automatic friend relationship building by carrying identification information through the installation process, resolving the contradiction between easy sharing and automated relationship establishment
2Adaptability or versatility
If users share applications through copying sharing links, then friends not in the social platform can be reached, but the friend relationship still cannot be built automatically without manual intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a sharing mechanism that works across different platforms and user groups (both internal and external friends). The sharing link and installation package universally carry the source user's identifier regardless of the target user's platform status, enabling automatic friend relationship building for all users while maintaining versatility in sharing reach
3Ease of operation
If manual friend relationship building is required after application sharing, then user control is maintained, but interaction is reduced and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically complete friend relationship building without requiring user intervention. The source user's identifier is embedded in the sharing link and installation package, allowing the system to self-identify and establish relationships automatically, thus improving productivity and interaction while maintaining ease of operation through the automated process

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a system for sharing an application, and an application service platform. The method comprises: an application service platform, according to an application-sharing request sent from a source client, generates an application-sharing link containing an identifier of the source client, and returns the application-sharing link to the source client; the source client shares the sharing link with the target client; the application service platform, after receiving the connection request to the sharing link sent by the target client, generates an application installation package carrying the identifier of the source client, and returns the application installation package to the target client; the target client installs the application according to the installation package; an application service platform, after receiving an application login request sent by the target client, builds a friend-relationship between a user of the source client and a user of the target client according to the identifier of the source client carried in the application login request. The present invention, by means of application sharing, is able to facilitate establishment of a friend-relationship, enhances application interaction, and improves user experience.
