Solution Overview

Problem

Existing application function modules fail to accurately adapt to regional differences, leading to inconsistent functionality and degraded user experience due to mismatched region attributes.

Innovation Solution

An identification plug-in is downloaded from an application publishing platform during installation or update, allowing the terminal device to obtain client region information and load corresponding function modules based on this information, ensuring accurate adaptation to the user's registration region.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If personalized function modules are configured based on region attributes, then user requirements in different regions are met, but the program function module cannot be accurately adapted to the application

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregion adaptationVSAvoidapplication stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by obtaining the client's region information during the application installation or update process, before the application is actually used. This allows the system to pre-determine and configure the appropriate function module based on the region attribute, ensuring both accurate regional adaptation and application stability without delays during actual usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a region information obtaining module as an intermediary component that bridges the gap between the application and the function module configuration. This intermediary obtains region information, determines the corresponding region attribute, and uses it to select the appropriate function module, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and reliability through a structured mediation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If region information is obtained during application installation, then function modules can be accurately configured, but the installation process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregion identification accuracyVSAvoidinstallation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by designing the region information obtaining module to automatically obtain region information during installation without requiring manual user input. The system autonomously determines the client's region, identifies the corresponding region attribute, and configures the appropriate function module, thereby maintaining high measurement precision while minimizing the increase in installation process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the region information obtaining process with the existing application installation and update workflows. By integrating the region identification and function module configuration steps into the already-necessary installation process, the system achieves accurate region identification without significantly increasing overall process complexity, as these steps are combined rather than added separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an application function configuration method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. An identification plug-in corresponding to a target application is downloaded from an application publishing platform when the target application triggers installation or update, where the identification plug-in is stored in application publishing data of the target application. Client region information is obtained by parsing the identification plug-in, where the client region information is used to indicate a registration region corresponding to a terminal device running the target application. A corresponding target function module is loaded based on the client region information.
