Solution Overview
Problem
The current method of installing application programs on terminals is time-consuming and cumbersome, leading to a low utilization rate of application programs.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional application installation method is used (download, decompress, install, register), then application program can be installed and used, but installation time is long and operation is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the application program into a parent application program and multiple sub-application programs. The parent application provides a shared running environment, while sub-applications can be executed independently without full installation. This segmentation allows users to access sub-applications quickly without going through the complete installation process of a full application suite.
Solution Approach 2:
The parent application program is installed once and establishes a ready-to-use running environment in advance. This preliminary action includes setting up the runtime framework, resource management system, and execution context. Once this environment is prepared, multiple sub-application programs can be launched immediately without requiring repeated installation procedures.
2Productivity
If parent application provides running environment for sub-applications, then installation time is reduced and utilization efficiency is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The parent application program serves multiple functions: it acts as a container for sub-applications, provides a shared running environment, manages resources for multiple sub-applications, and handles execution contexts. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate installation and setup for each sub-application, thereby improving utilization efficiency while managing complexity through a unified architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a runtime framework that acts as an intermediary between the parent application and sub-application programs. This framework handles the complexity of environment management, resource allocation, and execution control, shielding users from the underlying system complexity while enabling efficient sub-application execution.
3Productivity
If view and logic layers are separated, then rendering efficiency is improved and updating is more efficient, but program structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the application program into distinct view layer and logic layer components. The view layer handles rendering and display, while the logic layer manages business logic and data processing. This separation allows independent optimization of each layer, enabling efficient rendering operations in the view layer without being constrained by logic layer complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the logic layer from the view layer, placing business logic in separate executable modules that can be independently managed and updated. This extraction allows the view layer to focus solely on rendering operations, improving rendering efficiency while the logic layer handles complex operations separately, making the overall structure more maintainable despite the initial segmentation effort.
Data Source
AI summary
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for information processing. For example, the apparatus includes a storage medium, processing circuitry and network interface circuitry. The storage medium stores a first application program, and other application programs that are downloaded via the network interface circuitry. The processing circuitry executes the first application program in an operating system to provide a running environment. Further, the processing circuitry executes a second application program in the running environment to start a logic process and a first view process corresponding to a first view page of the second application program. The logic process and the first view process respectively interface with the running environment. The logic process generates initial first page data, and the initial first page data is transferred from the logic process to the first view process. The first view page is rendered in the first view process.
