Application Synchronization for Mobile Terminal Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal systems cannot manage and display new applications simultaneously with their original applications, limiting user management capabilities since only original applications are automatically started during startup, and new applications are not enumerated in the application list.
Innovation Solution
An application synchronization method and device that automatically synchronizes the application management category of an original application to a new application, including permissions, freeze, move, and safety lock, allowing for equal management capabilities between the two.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only original applications are automatically started during startup, then system startup simplicity is maintained, but new applications cannot be managed or displayed in the application list
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically synchronizes application management categories from original applications to new applications without requiring manual intervention. The synchronization mechanism self-executes based on package name matching, automatically copying permissions, freeze status, move status, and safety lock settings to the corresponding new application.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements copying of application management attributes by retrieving the application management category of an original application and synchronizing it to the corresponding new application. The system copies key attributes including permissions, freeze status, move status, and safety lock settings from the original application package to the new application package.
2Adaptability or versatility
If new applications are not enumerated in the application list, then system simplicity is maintained, but user management function is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system treats both original applications and new applications uniformly in the application management list. The same management functions and display mechanisms apply to both types of applications, with the only distinction being the package name format. This universal treatment enables new applications to be managed alongside original applications without requiring separate management mechanisms.
3Ease of operation
If application management category synchronization is implemented, then new applications gain equal management capabilities, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system retrieves the application management category of the original application and uses this information as feedback to configure the new application. The synchronization process uses the original application's management attributes as feedback to automatically set up the new application's management category, ensuring consistency without requiring manual configuration.
Data Source
AI summary
An application synchronization method and device are provided. The method includes: an application management category of an original application is obtained; the obtained application management category is synchronized to a new application corresponding to the original application, so that an application management category of the new application is as same as that of the original application.
