As shown in FIG. 1 , the present invention provides a method for controlling downloading of application programs in an application store. It includes steps S11-S13:

S11. In response to the download instruction of the application store to download the application program, detect whether the currently used network type is a data network provided by the operator.

On smart devices, various applications are usually downloaded and installed to meet different needs of users in various scenarios. The applications include popular entertainment games, music players, and social applications. Among the tens of thousands of applications available today, it is not easy to find a satisfactory application. This often requires a lot of effort to understand through various channels.

In the app store, choose to download a selected app. The local device will first check whether the current network status is under the data network. After all, if it is not under the data network, data transmission cannot be performed, let alone downloading an application that occupies a large storage space. When it is determined that the current network state is in the data network, it also needs to be judged. Whether the data network is a WIFI network or a data network provided by an operator. Many places now provide free WIFI networks, such as McDonald’s and KFC’s free WIFI networks. When the user’s smart device is connected to the WIFI network, it will not generate data traffic for the user under the WIFI network. When the user clicks to download, it is obvious that the user wants to download directly under the current network type.

However, when the user is resting in the wild or in an open-air park, when using the data network provided by the operator to browse various interesting, fun and useful applications, downloading the application at this time will generate a large amount of data traffic costs. In such a situation, whether downloading is required requires the user to pre-set permissions, or the user performs a corresponding manual operation under the current network type.

S12. If so, according to the user's permission, save the corresponding seed information of the application and notify the system desktop to create a shortcut icon pointing to the seed information, stop downloading the application, or continue to download the application according to the user's forbidden permission; if No, proceed to download the application.

In one embodiment of the present invention, when the user has set the authority, when the current connected network type of the local device used by the user is the data network provided by the operator, the corresponding authority is set according to the authority set by the user. Download operation. When the user allows permission, when the user enters the app store and clicks to download an application, such as WeChat, QQ, Kugou, NetEase Open Course, 360 Antivirus, the local device will save the application according to the permission allowed by the user The program corresponds to the seed information and sends information by calling the relevant interface to notify the system desktop to create a shortcut icon pointing to the seed information, and stop downloading the application program. The stop downloading operation of the application program is on the one hand a response to the user's click download operation, and on the other hand, only by stopping the download operation of the application program can data traffic be saved. It should be noted that if the user prohibits the corresponding permission, it means that the user does not care about the cost of data traffic generated by downloading the application program under the current network type. The native device will continue to download the application.

In the present invention, the said seed information is not equal to the seed in principle of BT, and the seed in principle of BT is only one type of said seed information. The content and form of the seed information are various, and the corresponding application program is downloaded according to the seed information, which does not depend on the BT seed mechanism, which is just one of its implementation methods, and at the same time, it can also be done http. In an embodiment of the present invention, the seed information includes the storage address of the downloaded file, the size of the downloaded file, the address of the download server, the icon of the application program corresponding to the seed information, and the download progress of the application program. Therefore, the seed information is not what the user will eventually download, but the corresponding application program can be downloaded through the seed information. Seed information plays more of an index pointing role, therefore, the storage space occupied by the data of the seed information is insignificant compared with its corresponding application program.

An icon is a computer graphic with a clear designation. The icons on the desktop are software identifiers, and the icons on the interface are function identifiers. Icons are artificially designed to refer to a certain type of product and are an important part of computer application graphics.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the shortcut icon is a small picture or object, representing an application program, the icon helps the user to quickly execute commands and open program files, click or double-click the icon to execute a command . The shortcut icon has a standard size and attribute format, which can adapt to different system versions of smart devices. The shortcut icon includes the download progress of the application program, the name of the application program and the icon of the application program. At the same time, the shortcut icon has a mask, and the coverage of the mask is used to indicate the download progress of the application program. At the same time, the mask can also be marked with data on its covered range. The shortcut icon can implement the operations of pausing download, continuing download and deleting the downloaded application program.

At the same time, this embodiment provides a torrent download switch on the local device, the torrent download switch is used to represent the user's authority, and the torrent download switch is configured as:

If the torrent download switch is in the off state, it means that the user prohibits permission, and then when connected to the data network, a normal download operation is performed.

If the seed download switch is on, it means that the user allows permission, then save the seed information in the data network provided by the operator, and when the local device is connected to the WIFI network, automatically download the application according to the seed information program.

It should be noted that the torrent download switch can be set at any position on the operation interface of the local device. Preferably, in an embodiment of the present invention, the torrent download switch is provided by a system setting page.

S13. After the network type of the local device is switched and connected to the WIFI network, automatically restart the download of the stopped application program according to the seed information, and display the download progress on the shortcut icon of the seed information.

In one embodiment of the present invention, step S13 includes the following specific steps:

After the network type of the local device is switched to access the WIFI network, the information that the local device is switched to the WIFI network is sent to the application store;

The download progress information is obtained through the file download interface, and the download progress information is synchronously displayed on the shortcut icon of the seed information.

In an embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: after the download of the application program is completed, automatically install and delete the seed information corresponding to the application program, and display the shortcut of the application program on the desktop.

At the same time, the process of automatically restarting and downloading the stopped application program according to the seed information includes the following steps:

Automatically restart and download the stopped application program according to the seed information, and when the network type switches to the data network provided by the operator, suspend the application program being downloaded until the local device is switched to the WIFI network again .

In the process of using stored seed information to download applications, the user can set the corresponding permissions at any time. Under the permission of the user, he can use the WIFI network to download 50% of the applications according to the saved seed information, and then prohibit This authority uses the data network provided by the operator, such as the remaining 50% of the 2G, 3G, and 4G network downloads provided by China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the user saves the seed information, and downloads 2% of the application programs when the network type is switched and connected to the WIFI network. When the local device leaves the current WIFI network and switches to the data network provided by the operator, the download of the application program described above will be suspended, and the download of the unfinished 98 will continue automatically when the local device is switched to the WIFI network again. %.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the user saves multiple seed information, and can perform different operations on different seed information. For example, the user saved the seed information corresponding to WeChat, QQ, and Kugou. When the network type of the local device is switched to connect to the WIFI network, in the state of the WIFI network, according to the respective seed information, the download of WeChat The progress reached 99%, the download progress of QQ reached 50%, and the download progress of Kugou reached 15%. At this time, the current network type of the local device is switched to the data network provided by the operator. The user can choose to prohibit the authorization of WeChat separately, and let WeChat continue to download and complete the installation under the data network provided by the current operator. At the same time, it does not affect the download operation of QQ and Kugou. QQ and Kugou will wait until the local device is switched to the WIFI network before automatically restarting the download of the application program that has been stopped, and it will be displayed on the shortcut icon of the seed information. its download progress.

It should be noted that the downloading of the application program adopts the technique of resumed downloading. Download the corresponding application program according to the seed information, divide the data of the entire application program into several parts, each part uses a thread to download, if you encounter a network failure, you can continue to download the unfinished part from the downloaded part, and There is no need to download from scratch. Users can save time and increase speed.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when the download of the shortcut icon is paused, resumed and deleted, the communication interface is called to synchronize the operation to the application store. At the same time, when the application store suspends downloading, resumes downloading and deletes downloading of the application program, the communication interface is called to synchronize the operation to the shortcut icon.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the present invention also provides a device for controlling downloading of application programs in an application store. It includes a detection module S101, a saving module S102 and a downloading module S103.
