Description

A mobile phone program and file management system and method

Technical field

The invention belongs to the field of mobile phone programs and storage management, in particular to a method capable of managing application programs and files on a smart phone.

Background technique

With the rapid development of computer technology, chips in mobile phones also have higher and higher processing capabilities. The emergence and continuous updating of smart phones have made existing mobile phones capable of installing operating systems and application programs on the hardware, just like PCs. It is specifically divided into three layers: hardware layer, operating system layer, application program and file. For mobile phones, the hardware layer and operating system layer are relatively less changed. Because the hardware layer is already hardware embedded in the mobile phone, and the operating system needs special tools to flash the phone by refreshing the hardware. So only applications and files are the most active and relatively difficult to manage.

The characteristics of mobile phone use are long-lasting power and stable system, followed by applications that require corresponding quality. Today's smart phones have problems such as easy crashes, slow processing speed, and small storage space. In many cases applications and files are the cause. Because the storage capacity of the mobile phone itself is small, a certain amount of memory space is required to run the application program. When apps and files on your phone take up too much space, there's less space for programs to run, and slower processing. If things go on like this, the mobile phone may prompt that the memory is insufficient, and more seriously, it may cause the mobile phone to crash, which brings great inconvenience to the user.

In view of the low storage capacity and processing speed of mobile phones, there must be a good way to manage applications and files, so that smart phones can be used more efficiently without affecting the file size due to the large number of applications and the increase in the number of files. performance of the phone.

At present, the mobile phone application program is in continuous development, and the corresponding management has just started, and there is no discovery in related patents, so the present invention also just supplements this gap.

Contents of the invention

The purpose of the present invention is to address the deficiencies of existing smart phones, and mainly proposes a mobile phone program and file management system and method. The main content of the invention is to use the system to count the usage frequency of the application programs and files in the mobile phone, and then manage the application programs and files according to the usage frequency. Keep high-use applications and files on hold, and upgrade where appropriate. Uninstall applications with low frequency of use while retaining certain application information. For files with low frequency of use, the files are backed up to other machines and deleted to free up space, while retaining certain file information. Through the above method, the quality of the mobile phone application program can be improved and the storage space can be increased, the stability of the mobile phone can be effectively improved, the processing speed of the mobile phone can be accelerated, and the use of the user is convenient.

In order to realize the object of the present invention, the technical scheme adopted in the present invention is as follows: a mobile phone program and file management system and method, characterized in that it is composed of three aspects, which are respectively the mobile phone application service layer, internal framework and operating system bottom layer.

The above-mentioned mobile phone application service mainly provides services such as user setting, start-up management and system recovery. As long as the mobile phone user starts the management system, the system will automatically be in the automatic management state according to the default user settings.

The user setting service is to provide users with the setting of the management system, including listing all application programs or files, and choosing whether to host them for system management. At the same time, it is also possible to set the frequency and time for the system to manage programs or files. The system can also monitor the mobile phone, choose whether to have the system recovery function, etc.

The startup management service is a time module that activates the system, and can start the system for management.

The system recovery service is similar to the system recovery function in the operating system. As long as those spaces are still unused after the system uninstalls programs or deletes certain files, the system can be restored to the previous state according to the system status before uninstallation or deletion. a state.

The above-mentioned internal structure is mainly composed of the following parts: identification module, statistics module, program management module, file management module, setting analysis module, system recovery module, breakpoint memory module and resource network monitoring module.

The identification module mainly identifies system application programs and system files as well as user application programs and user files. For example, it uses the same function as the operating system add program to identify various application programs. For system applications and system files, the application and file management system will not delete them casually. As for the user files that make up the user application program, the system will associate it with the application program and manage it based on the frequency of use of the application program. For individual user files, the system will manage them according to the frequency of use.

The statistics module is mainly responsible for statistics of usage frequency of application programs and files. It also includes information about applications and files. Among them, there are two types of association information: program association and file association. Program association mainly refers to the acquisition method of some applications or the dependencies between programs, while file association mainly refers to some acquisition information about files, such as whether they are associated with certain applications. wait. Users can also set up the management of these statistics related information. For example, for some programs and files that have been uninstalled or deleted and have not been accessed for a certain period of time, it is assumed that the probability of users using these programs or files is very low, and the system can delete them. Get rid of these related information.

The program management module is mainly composed of two parts: program unloading and program upgrading. The program management module performs application program management according to statistics, local resource usage and network conditions. For operating system applications, the system will not uninstall casually by default, and will only upgrade applications with high frequency of use, unless it is specially set by the user. The program associations in the statistical information include dependencies between some applications, for example, some applications use one or more other applications as a basis. In this way, although these basic applications are rarely used, they cannot be uninstalled because they are the basis of other applications. Even these basic applications need to be upgraded in order to cooperate with the frequently used applications. Therefore, before uninstalling the program, the management module checks whether the application program in the program association is used as a basic program of other application programs. The program management module upgrades frequently used application programs (including system application programs and user application programs) according to program association files according to the use frequency of the application programs. For user applications with low frequency of use, the system will uninstall these applications, and then save some information about the application, such as where to obtain the application installation package, in the program association file, so as to facilitate the next time Install it when the user wants to use the program.

The file management module is mainly composed of file backup and file deletion. Similar to the program management module, it also manages files based on statistical information, local resource usage and network conditions. The file management module does not delete system files. The system will keep files with high frequency of use. For files with low frequency of use, the system will save the file backup to a nearby computer or network space through a wireless connection according to appropriate circumstances. This computer or network space will be set by the user and specify a directory. If it is not set, it will be prompted at startup. If the system cannot find the set computer or network space, the file will not be backed up, and the file will not be deleted at the same time. After the system backs up the file to the computer or network space, it will save the information of the corresponding file in the file association (for example, it can be found in a certain directory on the computer or network space), and delete the file in the mobile phone at the same time.

The setting analysis module is to analyze the configuration file set by the user, analyze parameters such as the management range and frequency of use set by the user for the application program and file setting, and feed back to the statistics module.

The system recovery module restores the system to the situation before the program is uninstalled or the file is deleted to the greatest extent, and the prerequisite is that the space of the program to be uninstalled or the file to be deleted has not been used.

The breakpoint memory module remembers the current running state of the system, and can continue the running of the system at the next startup in the case of abnormal termination.

The resource network monitoring module is responsible for monitoring the resource usage of the mobile phone, so that the program can run in the background. At the same time, it is also responsible for monitoring network conditions, and performing operations such as program upgrades and file backups under appropriate network conditions.

The above-mentioned bottom interface of the mobile phone operating system means that the system calls the bottom function of the mobile phone operating system to provide the system with the use of local resources and the communication status of the network, and the system will manage according to these conditions.

The advantages of the mobile phone program and file management system and method of the present invention are as follows:

1) The system has automatic identification function: this system works on the smart phone operating system. As an optional option, as long as the user starts the system, the system will automatically be in the management state without any further intervention by the user, unless the user himself thinks there is necessary. The system will automatically manage the applications and files on the mobile phone, and can automatically distinguish between system applications and system files and user applications and user files. The system will not uninstall or delete operating system applications and files .

2) User settings are suitable for individual needs: the system has a variety of parameter settings to meet user needs, including system management scope, time, etc. The scope of management means that users can set certain applications or files not to be managed by the system, so as to prevent the system from accidentally deleting applications or files. Time means that the system mainly manages the applications and files on the mobile phone according to the frequency of use of the applications and files. Users can set this parameter by themselves, such as uninstalling applications or deleting files if they are not used for 5 or 10 days.

3) Automatic program file management: the system will manage the application according to the frequency of use of the application. The application program that is used too infrequently will be uninstalled, and some information of the uninstalled program will be retained, such as the URL where the installation file of the application program is located, so that the user can install it next time. Applications that are frequently used will be upgraded for the convenience of users. At the same time, the system will also perform backup and deletion according to the usage frequency of the files. For example, if a file is used less frequently, then this file will be backed up to the computer and deleted under appropriate circumstances.

4) With background automatic management capability: it can use the mobile phone's idle time to manage applications and files without affecting the normal use of mobile phone users.

5) With breakpoint memory recovery function: if the system encounters unexpected accidents during the process of deleting some applications or files, such as mobile phone shutdown or power failure. The system will save the breakpoint so that it can continue to execute next time it is restarted. At the same time, the system also has a certain recovery function, similar to the system restore function in the operating system, which can restore the operating system and application programs of the mobile phone to a certain extent.

Specific implementation plan

The implementation of the system will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The relationship between the modules of this system is shown in Figure 2:

First, the identification module distinguishes system applications and user applications, system files and application files, etc. through the application installation list. This identification mechanism can use an application list to record applications. will be treated as a user application. Files can be distinguished by file name naming or through the association of applications.

At the same time, the configuration analysis module transmits the analysis results of the user settings to the statistics module, and the statistics module starts to perform statistics on the application program and file information according to the user settings, and simultaneously transmits the feedback information to the program management module and the file management module.

The resource network monitoring module continuously reflects the network situation and the resource usage of the machine to the program management module and the file management module. The network conditions include whether there is a network available, what the network bandwidth is, the presence of devices around and the status of the devices, and so on. The local resources include the usage of the CPU of the mobile phone and the usage of the storage device of the mobile phone.

The program management module and the file management module manage under the condition that the system resource and the network resource are allowed, and the application program and the file are suitable for management. For specific applications and files, the system has various processes such as uninstallation, upgrade, backup, and deletion. Before processing, the system will record the existing state of the system, so that after processing, the user can restore the previous state if the user requests the system to restore. When the system performs these processes, the breakpoint memory module keeps saving the running status of the program all the time, so that it can continue from the breakpoint when an accident occurs.

The entire process is shown in Figure 5. Now we describe the working conditions of the system with an implementation example. First of all, the user starts to open the application program and file management system on the mobile phone. If the user adopts this system for the first time, the system will prompt the user to set it up. The system can only be started after the user sets up or adopts the default setting of the system. Assuming that the user has set only the management of user applications and files, and set conditions such as frequency of use, management scope, etc., the configuration analysis module starts to analyze the configuration content in the user settings, and we get an information about the applications and files in the mobile phone. list. After a certain period of time, the identification module identifies the types of various applications and files, and in the statistical module we can get a statistical information similar to Table 1:

Table 1 List of mobile phone programs and files (before management) name category usage frequency Associated information Sys_app_1 system applications high The official website of the system, there is a new version update program information Sys_app_2 system application Low System official website, there is a new version update information Sys_file_1 System Files high System official website Sys_file_2 System Files Low System official website User_app_1 user application high The official website of the application, with User_app_2 and User_app_3 as the basic program, there is a new version update information User_app_2 user application Low The official website of the application, as the basic program of User_app_1, there is a new version update information User_app_3 user application Low The official website of the application, as the base program of User_app_1 User_app_4 user application Low App Official URL User_file_1 user files high no yet User_file_2 user files Low Application file as User_app_1 User_file_3 user files Low no yet

When the network resource monitoring module reports back the detected mobile phone resource usage and network conditions are good, the system will process these applications according to the frequency of use, and the system will process them according to their attributes.

First look at the management of the application program by the program management module. As shown in Figure 3 in the attachment, for Sys_app_1, due to its high frequency of use and new version update information, the system will upgrade Sys_app_1. As for Sys_app_2, although it is used less frequently, as an operating system application, the system will not uninstall it casually. At the same time, it has new version update information, and the system does not upgrade it because of its less frequently used.

For User_app_1, User_app_2, and User_app_3, there is a dependency relationship between them, that is, User_app_1 uses User_app_2 and User_app_3 as the basic program, so although User_app_2 and User_app_3 are used less frequently, because User_app_1 is used more frequently, the system They will not be uninstalled. For User_app_2, it will be updated with the new version detected, and User_app_1 will also be updated. As for User_app_4, because of its low frequency of use, the system will uninstall it. After uninstalling, its acquisition method will be added to the program association information, so that users can obtain it from the official website when they want to use it next time.

Then look at the management of files by the file management module. (As shown in Figure 4) For Sys_file_1 and Sys_file_2, since they are all system files, no matter how frequently they are used, the system will not delete them. For User_file_1, this file will be retained due to its high frequency of use. For User_file_2, although it is used less frequently, since it is the application file of User_app_1, it will be associated with User_app_1 and managed by the program management module. As for User_file_3, because its use frequency is too low, the system will delete it. Before deleting, the system will save it on the computer or network space designated by the user, and then delete it.

During the working process, (as shown in Figure 2) the system saves the breakpoints all the time. If there are some special accidents, such as the power failure or crash of the mobile phone, the system will be interrupted when it is restarted. Click to inquire and continue working as conditions permit.

At the same time, the system also saves the system restore point. If the user is not satisfied with the result after system management. Before the uninstalled or deleted programs and file space are not occupied, the system can restore the mobile phone to the previous state to the greatest extent.

The following is a list of information about programs and files in the statistics module after the above applications and files are managed by the system:
