Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing storage space requirements of applications on smart terminals can adversely affect the normal operation of the operating system, as applications occupy more space due to improved functions, leading to memory constraints.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that allow access to applications through a web browser by displaying a designated entry, acquiring a configuration file from a server, generating a native page based on this file, and displaying it on the terminal, even if the application is not installed, thereby saving memory space and providing a native-like experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If applications are installed on the terminal to provide full functionality, then application functions are improved, but storage space occupied increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveapplication functionsVSAvoidstorage space occupied

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy of the application interface through a configuration file that describes the application's UI structure. This configuration file is stored on the terminal and used to generate a native page that replicates the application's interface without requiring the full application to be installed, thus providing a lightweight copy that consumes minimal storage space

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the essential configuration file from the application package, separating it from the rest of the application components. This configuration file contains the necessary information to render the application interface, allowing the system to display application pages without installing the entire application, thereby reducing storage requirements

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Volume of stationary object

If web pages are used to display applications without installation, then storage space is saved, but display effect deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestorage spaceVSAvoiddisplay effect

Core Design Contradiction:

Volume of stationary objectVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional web-based rendering mechanism with a native page generation mechanism. Instead of displaying applications through web browsers with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, the system uses the configuration file to generate native pages that are rendered by the operating system's native page management module, providing a display effect comparable to installed applications while maintaining storage efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a method, device and storage medium for displaying an application page. The method includes: displaying a designated entry of an application, acquiring a configuration file of the application when a triggering operation to the designated entry is detected, and generating a native page of the application for a terminal according to the configuration file of the application and displaying the native page of the application on the terminal when the application is not installed one the terminal.
