The method for configuring application programs in the Android system described below can be applied to cellular communication devices, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, smart wearable devices, and the like. In the following description, a terminal device is taken as an example for illustration.

As shown in Figure 1, the schematic flow chart of the configuration method of application program of an embodiment of the present invention, comprises the following steps:

Step S100: In response to a user operation instruction, start the configuration unit and determine the application programs that need to be configured.

The realization of the present invention is suitable for providing and installing an application program for the Android system, and the configuration unit is the application program, which is started in response to the user's operation instruction on the operation interface and provides interactive functions to the system, completing the present invention invented the method described.

The configuration unit is an application program developed based on the function of Android for work. Android for work is a solution launched by Google, which aims to increase the attractiveness of Android smartphones to enterprises. Before starting the hive, you need to obtain the encryption protection currently set by the system or set the encryption protection for the hive. Google's Android for work function can only be applied to encrypted devices. The configuration and data are encrypted and stored separately. If the terminal device has been set for password protection, enter the password. The password protection refers to when the device is locked. The password protection required to enter the device for operation can be a digital password lock, a pattern password lock, a fingerprint password lock, etc. when the screen is locked; The encryption protection can only be applied to the password protection when the configuration unit is started, and the encryption protection can also be a digital code lock, a pattern code lock, a fingerprint code lock, and the like.

After the configuration unit is started, step S200 is executed.

Step S200: Based on the corresponding permissions of the Android system, create at least one second account different from the first account for the application program in the Android system, and generate a corresponding configuration file and a second account space.

The corresponding authority of the Android system specifically refers to the system authority of the Android system. After the configuration unit is started for the first time, it is configured, and the system authority of the Android system is obtained through configuration. Preferably, after the first configuration is completed, if the configuration unit is started again later, the configuration unit only needs to check whether the system permission has been obtained, and if the system permission has been obtained, no further configuration is required, and subsequent processing is directly performed for the application The program creates at least one second account different from the first account, making full use of limited resources. Wherein, the first account specifically refers to the default account of the application program in the Android system, and the second account can also be regarded as a sub-account of the first account. Before creating a second account, it is necessary to check whether the multi-account environment of the current system reaches the preset multi-account limit. The terminal devices upgraded to Android 5.0 or above fully support the multi-account mode of Android, and the multi-account limit of each terminal device will be different due to the change of the factory, so it is necessary to check whether the multi-account environment of the current system has reached Preset multi-account limit. The basis for the configuration unit to judge whether the current device system supports multi-account mode is the config_multiuserMaximumUsers configuration item in the configuration file config. For multiple accounts, only the default account can be applied. If the value is greater than 1, it means the maximum number of accounts supported by the device.

In one embodiment, the user interface is provided with an "add new user" operation control, which is used to receive an instruction from the user to create a second account, and check the current multi-account environment of the system in response to the instruction. If the multi-account environment reaches the preset If the number is limited, a prompt message indicating that the creation of the second account failed will be displayed on the user interface; otherwise, follow-up processing will be continued to generate the corresponding configuration file and second account space for the second account. After the user is created, first save the id of the newly added user in the /data/system/users/userlist.xml file, and save the user information in the user id.xml file under it. For example, the default account id is 00, and the created The id of the second account is 01, and then create the account space of the account. The account space is the data storage directory for each account. Each account has an independent storage space. The account space storage directory of the second account is /data/system/01/. In addition, the first account can set relevant permissions for the second account, such as setting the second account without permission to delete files. In one embodiment, if you want to uninstall the application program under the second account, you need to obtain the permission of the first account. That is, it is necessary to obtain the password protection under the first account. Furthermore, the first account can delete the second account created by it, and delete the data directory of the account.

After creating the second account space, determine the application programs that need to be configured. In one embodiment, the above-mentioned created new account is displayed on the interface, and the user clicks on the account to enter its operation interface. There is a button "configure application program" on the operation interface, which is used to receive and select the existing account that needs to be configured. Installed applications, the user clicks this button, and the configuration unit obtains the information of the currently installed applications in the system, and displays the application overview in the form of a pop-up window list, among which the installed applications are divided into system preset applications and third-party applications installed by the user, preferably, in the pop-up list, the system preset applications and the third-party applications installed by the user have respective display areas, and each application has a corresponding selection button, The user can select an application program that needs to be configured by clicking the selection button. The system preset application program refers to the application program installed in the directory /data/system/, and the third-party application program installed by the user refers to the Applications installed under the directory /data/data/. Then step S300 is executed.

Step S300: Generate at least one image of the application program based on the corresponding permissions of the Android system.

After selecting the application program that needs to be configured, the configuration unit generates at least one mirror image of the application program based on the corresponding permissions of the Android system, that is, obtains the installation package information of the selected application program and converts the installation package information Make a copy to generate a mirror image of the application. Then step S400 is executed.

Step S400: configure the image of the application program in the space of the second account, and establish an association between the image of the application program and the second account.

In one embodiment, if the user selects the installed application program Facebook, its original installation path is /data/data/com.facebook.katana/, which corresponds to the default account of the system, and it is configured and associated with the second account After the space, its installation path is /data/system/01/com.facebook.katana/, and the principle of selecting the system preset application program is the same. In another embodiment, if the user selects the application program Gmail, its original installation path It is /data/system/com.google.android.gm/, which corresponds to the default account of the system. After it is configured and associated with the second account space, its installation path is /data/system/01/com.google.android .gm/.

In addition, the second account can set relevant permissions for its account space, and the permissions are for all applications associated with the account space. All applications are unable to send text messages, which avoids triggering applications to send text messages by mistake in some occasions. Then execute step S500.

Step S500: Display the mirror image on the user interface, and the mirror image uses a second account application icon different from that of the first account.

After the above steps are completed, as shown in Figure 7, the shortcut icon of the configured application mirroring and the shortcut icon of its original application are simultaneously displayed on the user interface, and the mirroring uses a second account application that is different from the first account. program icon. For example, a logo of a briefcase is displayed in the lower right corner of the shortcut icon of the application image, indicating that the application image corresponds to the created second account, and the application under this account is used for work, as shown in Figure 6 It shows that the configured application Gmail image and the shortcut icon of the original application have a characteristic identification in the lower right corner that is different from that of the first account, which is convenient for users to quickly identify and use the required application. Then step S600 is executed.

Step S600: Run the application program in response to the running instruction acting on the shortcut icon of the mirror image of the application program generated after the configuration is completed.

The user runs the mirror image of the application program on the operation interface. The version of the application program mirror image is the same as that of the original application program. Differentiated needs of users.

Compared with the solution of installing different versions of the application program, the present invention can realize the same version of the dual-open application program, ensure the consistency of the application program in function and operation, and reduce the need for users to learn different versions in order to use the same application program time wasted by the application. Compared with other schemes for account switching, the present invention directly double-opens the required applications, and allocates the data directory of the second account space isolated from the system account, and installs the applications that need to be double-opened under the account space. Compared with the system, there are two independent application programs, and the user can set settings corresponding to different accounts for each application program, especially for social software, the method of the present invention can realize multiple accounts to receive information at the same time, The omission of information is avoided.

Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 2, the present invention also provides an application configuration device, including:

Response module 100: configured to respond to user operation instructions, start the configuration unit and determine the application programs that need to be configured.

The realization of the present invention is suitable for providing and installing an application program for the Android system, and the configuration unit is the application program, which is started in response to the user's operation instruction on the operation interface and provides interactive functions to the system, completing the present invention function of the device described in the invention.

The configuration unit is an application program developed based on the function of Android for work. Android for work is a solution launched by Google, which aims to increase the attractiveness of Android smartphones to enterprises. Before starting the configuration unit, the encryption module in the device first obtains the encryption protection currently set by the system or sets the encryption protection for the configuration unit. Google's Android for work function can only be applied to encrypted devices. The configuration and data are encrypted and stored separately. If the terminal device has been set for password protection, enter the password. The password protection refers to when the device is locked. The password protection required to enter the device for operation can be a digital password lock, a pattern password lock, a fingerprint password lock, etc. when the screen is locked; The encryption protection can only be applied to the password protection when the configuration unit is started, and the encryption protection can also be a digital code lock, a pattern code lock, a fingerprint code lock, and the like.

The corresponding authority of the Android system specifically refers to the system authority of the Android system. After the configuration unit is started for the first time, it is configured, and the system authority of the Android system is obtained through configuration. Preferably, after the first configuration is completed, if the configuration unit is started again later, the configuration unit only needs to check whether the system permission has been obtained, and if the system permission has been obtained, no further configuration is required, and subsequent processing is directly performed for the application The program creates at least one second account different from the first account, making full use of limited resources. Among them, the first account specifically refers to the default account of the application program in the Android system, and the second account can also be regarded as a sub-account of the first account. Before creating the second account, it is necessary to check whether the multi-account environment of the current system reaches the default The multi-account limit of each terminal device, the terminal device upgraded to Android 5.0 or above, fully supports the multi-account mode of Android, and the multi-account limit of each terminal device will be different due to the change of the factory, so you need to check the current system Whether your multi-account environment has reached the preset limit on the number of multi-accounts. The basis for the configuration unit to judge whether the current device system supports multi-account mode is the config_multiuserMaximumUsers configuration item in the configuration file config. For multiple accounts, only the default account can be applied. If the value is greater than 1, it means the maximum number of accounts supported by the device.

In one embodiment, the check subunit of the configuration unit is provided with an operation control of "add new user" on its user interface, which is used to receive an instruction from the user to create a second account, and check the current multi-account environment of the system in response to the instruction , if the multi-account environment reaches the preset quantity limit, a prompt message of failure to create the second account will be displayed on the user interface; otherwise, follow-up processing will be continued to generate the configuration file and the second account space corresponding to the second account. After the user is created, first save the id of the newly added user in the /data/system/users/userlist.xml file, and save the user information in the user id.xml file under it. For example, the default account id is 00, and the created The id of the second account is 01. Then create the account space of the account. The account space is the data storage directory for each account. Each account has an independent storage space. The account space storage directory of the second account is /data/system/01/. In addition, the first account can set relevant permissions for the second account, such as setting the second account without permission to delete files. In one embodiment, if you want to uninstall the application program under the second account, you need to obtain the permission of the first account. That is, it is necessary to obtain the password protection under the first account. Furthermore, the first account can delete the second account created by it, and delete the data directory of the account.

After creating the second account space, determine the application programs that need to be configured. In one embodiment, the above-mentioned created new account is displayed on the interface, and the user clicks on the account to enter its operation interface. There is a button "configure application program" on the operation interface, which is used to receive and select the existing account that needs to be configured. Installed applications, the user clicks this button, and the configuration unit obtains the information of the currently installed applications in the system, and displays the application overview in the form of a pop-up window list, among which the installed applications are divided into system preset applications and third-party applications installed by the user, preferably, in the pop-up list, the system preset applications and the third-party applications installed by the user have respective display areas, and each application has a corresponding selection button, The user can select an application program that needs to be configured by clicking the selection button. The system preset application program refers to the application program installed in the directory /data/system/, and the third-party application program installed by the user refers to the Applications installed under the directory /data/data/. Operations are then performed by the generation module 200 .

Generating module 200: for generating at least one image of the application program based on the corresponding permissions of the Android system.

After the application program that needs to be configured is selected, the configuration unit generates at least one mirror image of the application program based on the corresponding permissions of the Android system, and the association unit in the generation module 200 performs configuration in the second account space. For the mirror image of the application program, establish an association between the mirror image of the application program and the second account. In one embodiment, if the user selects the installed application program Facebook, its original installation path is /data/data/com.facebook.katana/, corresponding to the default account of the system application program, which is configured and associated with the first After the second account space, its installation path is /data/system/01/com.facebook.katana/; the principle of selecting the system preset application program is also the same. In another embodiment, if the user selects the configuration application program Gmail, Its original installation path is /data/system/com.google.android.gm/, which corresponds to the default account of the system application. After it is configured and associated with the second account space, its installation path is /data/system/01 /com.google.android.gm/.

In addition, the second account can set relevant permissions for its account space, and the permissions are for all applications associated with the account space. All applications are unable to send text messages, which avoids triggering applications to send text messages by mistake in some occasions. Operations are then performed by the display module 300 .

In the embodiment of the present invention, the processor 580 included in the terminal also has the following functions:

In response to the user's operation instruction, start the configuration unit and determine the application programs that need to be configured. The implementation of the present invention is suitable for providing and installing an application program for the Android system, and the configuration unit is the application program, which is started in response to a user's operation instruction on the operation interface and provides interactive functions to the system. The configuration unit is an application developed based on the Android for work function. Before starting the configuration unit, you need to obtain the encryption protection currently set by the system or set encryption protection for the configuration unit. If the terminal device has password protection, enter the password. The password protection refers to entering the device when the device is locked. The password protection required for operation can be a digital password lock, a pattern password lock, a fingerprint password lock, etc. when the screen is locked; It can only be applied to the password protection when the configuration unit is started, and the encryption protection can also be a digital password lock, a pattern password lock, a fingerprint password lock, and the like.

Based on the corresponding permissions of the Android system, at least one second account different from the first account is created for the application program in the Android system, and a corresponding configuration file and a second account space are generated. The corresponding authority of the Android system specifically refers to the system authority of the Android system. After the configuration unit is started for the first time, it is configured, and the system authority of the Android system is obtained through configuration. Preferably, after the first configuration is completed, if the configuration unit is started again later, the configuration unit only needs to check whether the system permission has been obtained, and if the system permission has been obtained, no further configuration is required, and subsequent processing is directly performed for the application The program creates at least one second account different from the first account, making full use of limited resources. Among them, the first account specifically refers to the default account of the application program in the Android system, and the second account can also be regarded as a sub-account of the first account. Before creating the second account, it is necessary to check whether the multi-account environment of the current system reaches the default The multi-account limit of each terminal device, the terminal device upgraded to Android 5.0 or above, fully supports the multi-account mode of Android, and the multi-account limit of each terminal device will be different due to the change of the factory, so you need to check the current system Whether your multi-account environment has reached the preset limit on the number of multi-accounts. The basis for the configuration unit to judge whether the current device system supports multi-account mode is the config_multiuserMaximumUsers configuration item in the configuration file config. For multiple accounts, only the default account can be applied. If the value is greater than 1, it means the maximum number of accounts supported by the device. In one embodiment, the user interface is provided with an "add new user" operation control, which is used to receive an instruction from the user to create a second account, and check the current multi-account environment of the system in response to the instruction. If the multi-account environment reaches the preset If the number is limited, a prompt message indicating that the creation of the second account failed will be displayed on the user interface; otherwise, follow-up processing will be continued to generate the corresponding configuration file and second account space for the second account. After the user is created, first save the id of the newly added user in the /data/system/users/userlist.xml file, and save the user information in the user id.xml file under it. For example, the default account id is 00, and the created The id of the second account is 01. Then create the account space of the account. The account space is the data storage directory for each account. Each account has an independent storage space. The account space storage directory of the second account is /data/system/01/. In addition, the first account can set relevant permissions for the second account, such as setting the second account without permission to delete files. In one embodiment, if you want to uninstall the application program under the second account, you need to obtain the permission of the first account. That is, it is necessary to obtain the password protection under the first account. Furthermore, the first account can delete the second account created by it, and delete the data directory of the account. After creating the second account space, determine the application programs that need to be configured. In one embodiment, the above-mentioned created new account is displayed on the interface, and the user clicks on the account to enter its operation interface. There is a button "configure application program" on the operation interface, which is used to receive and select the existing account that needs to be configured. Installed applications, the user clicks this button, and the configuration unit obtains the information of the currently installed applications in the system, and displays the application overview in the form of a pop-up window list, among which the installed applications are divided into system preset applications and third-party applications installed by the user, preferably, in the pop-up list, the system preset applications and the third-party applications installed by the user have respective display areas, and each application has a corresponding selection button, The user can select an application program that needs to be configured by clicking the selection button. The system preset application program refers to the application program installed in the directory /data/system/, and the third-party application program installed by the user refers to the Applications installed under the directory /data/data/.

Based on the corresponding permissions of the Android system, at least one image of the application program is generated. After selecting the application program that needs to be configured, the configuration unit generates at least one mirror image of the application program based on the corresponding permissions of the Android system, that is, obtains the installation package information of the selected application program and converts the installation package information Make a copy to generate a mirror image of the application.

The image of the application is configured in the second account space, and an association between the image of the application and the second account is established. In one embodiment, if the user selects the installed application program Facebook, its original installation path is /data/data/com.facebook.katana/, corresponding to the default account of the system application program, which is configured and associated with the first After the second account space, its installation path is /data/system/01/com.facebook.katana/, and the principle of selecting the system preset application program is the same. In another embodiment, if the user selects the configuration application program Gmail, its The original installation path is /data/system/com.google.android.gm/, which corresponds to the default account of the system application. After it is configured and associated with the second account space, its installation path is /data/system/01/ com.google.android.gm/. In addition, the second account can set relevant permissions for its account space, and the permissions are for all applications associated with the account space. All applications are unable to send text messages, which avoids triggering applications to send text messages by mistake in some occasions.

The mirror image is displayed on the user interface, and the mirror image uses an application program icon of the second account different from that of the first account. After the above steps are completed, as shown in Figure 7, the shortcut icon of the configured application mirroring and the shortcut icon of its original application are simultaneously displayed on the user interface, and the mirroring uses a second account application that is different from the first account. The program icon, for example, a briefcase logo is displayed in the lower right corner of the shortcut icon of the application image, indicating that the application image corresponds to the created second account, and the application under this account is used for work, such as As shown in Figure 6, the configured application Gmail mirror image and the shortcut icon of the original application program have a characteristic identification different from the first account in the lower right corner, which is convenient for the user to quickly identify and use the required application program.

In response to the execution instruction acting on the shortcut icon of the mirror image of the application program generated by the configuration completion, the application program is run. The user runs the mirror image of the application program on the operation interface. The version of the application program mirror image is the same as that of the original application program. Differentiated needs of users.

Compared with the solution of installing different versions of the application program, the present invention can realize the same version of the dual-open application program, ensure the consistency of the application program in function and operation, and reduce the need for users to learn different versions in order to use the same application program time wasted by the application. Compared with other schemes for account switching, the present invention directly double-opens the required applications, and allocates the data directory of the second account space isolated from the system account, and installs the applications that need to be double-opened under the account space. Compared with the system, there are two independent application programs, and the user can set settings corresponding to different accounts for each application program, especially for social software, the method of the present invention can realize multiple accounts to receive information at the same time, The omission of information is avoided.

All in all, the present invention can meet the differentiated needs of users for switching between multiple accounts in a single application
