The embodiments of the present invention provide a method, a server, and a user equipment for upgrading an application, which are used to implement a differentiated upgrade application and enhance the pertinence of the application upgrade.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the general idea of the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the server receives, by the user equipment, a request for obtaining the application upgrade information of the target application, and sends the application upgrade information of the target application to the user equipment, according to the request, The application upgrade information includes a minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade, a highest version parameter of the normal upgrade, and a target application predetermined version link, and the user equipment determines the location based on the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade and the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade. The user equipment upgrades the target application in a target upgrade mode, where the target upgrade mode is a forced upgrade mode or a normal upgrade mode, and the target application subscription version is obtained based on the target application subscription version link, and the target upgrade mode is upgraded according to the target upgrade mode. The target application. Therefore, the server sends the application upgrade information including the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade and the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade to the user equipment, and the user equipment can be combined according to the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade and the highest version parameter of the ordinary upgrade. The actual situation of the target application installed by the user determines whether the application should be upgraded in the forced upgrade mode or the normal upgrade mode. Therefore, the technical problem that only the unified upgrade of all user equipments or the general upgrade target application can be unified in the prior art is realized, the differentiated upgrade application is realized, and the targeted application upgrade is enhanced.

The technical solutions of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It is understood that the specific features of the embodiments and the embodiments of the present application are the detailed description of the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited to the technical solutions of the present application. Embodiments and embodiments of the present application in the case of no conflict The technical features in the art can be combined with each other.

The term "and/or" in this context is merely an association describing the associated object, indicating that there may be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which may indicate that A exists separately, and both A and B exist, respectively. B these three situations. In addition, the character "/" in this article generally indicates that the contextual object is an "or" relationship.

A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for upgrading an application. Referring to FIG. 1 , it is a flowchart of a method for upgrading an application on a server side according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes:

S101: The server receives a request sent by the user equipment to request to obtain application upgrade information of the target application.

S102: Send, according to the request, application upgrade information of the target application to the user equipment.

Specifically, the target application in the embodiment of the present invention may be any application that can be upgraded, such as a webcast application, a shopping application, a chat application, or a reader application, and the present invention is not specifically limited. The server is a network-side device that provides a target application installation package, an upgrade package, and a target application. The user device is a user-side device that installs any version of the target application.

First, in S101, the server receives a request sent by the UE indicating that the application upgrade information of the target application is requested to be acquired. In the embodiment of the present invention, the UE may send a request to the server at any time, for example, sending a request to the server after each startup of the target application, or sending a request to the server after receiving an operation input by the user for detecting the upgraded version. Or send a request to the server every preset time, for example, 7 days. A person of ordinary skill in the art can make a selection according to the actual situation, and the present invention does not specifically limit it.

After receiving the request sent by the UE, the server sends the application upgrade information of the target application to the UE according to the request in S102. In the embodiment of the present invention, the application upgrade information includes a minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade, a highest version parameter of the normal upgrade, and a target application predetermined version link. Among them, the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade is the parameter of the lowest version that needs to be forced to upgrade. The highest version parameter of a normal upgrade is the highest version of the parameter that can be achieved by a normal upgrade. The target application subscription version links to a link to an upgrade package or installation package for a predetermined version of the target application. In the specific implementation process, the application upgrade information may further include a mandatory upgrade prompt information and a general upgrade prompt information, and the present invention does not specifically limit.

In a specific implementation process, UEs of different device types have different target application versions. For example, the target application corresponding to the UE of the Android type is specifically the target application of the Android version, and the device type is the UE of the Apple mobile terminal operating system ios, and the corresponding target application is specifically the target application of the ios version.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the application upgrade information sent by the server to the UE may be an application upgrade information including each version, and then, after receiving the application upgrade information, the UE according to its own device class. Type, filter out the application upgrade information adapted to its own version, and upgrade the target application accordingly. Alternatively, in an optional embodiment, the device type parameter of the UE device type may be included in the request, and the S102 may specifically include:

Determining, according to the device type parameter in the request, first application upgrade information of the target application corresponding to the device type parameter.

Specifically, the device type parameter in the embodiment of the present invention may be the device type itself, such as Android, iOS, or Windows. Alternatively, the device type parameter may also be a corresponding code of the device type. For example, the corresponding code of the device type ios is 0, and the corresponding code of the device type Android is 1. A person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains may make selections according to actual conditions, and the present invention is not specifically limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the UE sends a request, the device type parameter is acquired. After the target application is started, the UE generates a startup completion function and sends the startup completion function to the server. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the startup completion function can be used as a request, and the device type parameter is included in the startup completion function. Further, the server receives the startup completion function and parses out the device type parameters included in the startup completion function. Then, the first application upgrade information corresponding to the device type parameter is sent to the UE from the application upgrade information of the multiple versions.

For example, suppose the device type parameter is specifically type, represented by the corresponding code of the device type, the corresponding code of ios is 0, and the corresponding code of Android is 1. The minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade of the Android version is represented by minAndroidVersion, the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade is represented by maxAndroidVersion, and the target application predetermined version link is represented by androidDownloadLink. Further, it is assumed that the application upgrade information of the Android version further includes a forced upgrade prompt information minAndroidVersionTips and a normal upgrade prompt information maxAndroidVersionTips. The minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade of the ios version is represented by minlosVersion, the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade is represented by maxlosVersion, and the target application predetermined version link is represented by losDownloadLink. Further, it is assumed that the application upgrade information of the ios version further includes a forced upgrade prompt information minlosVersionTips and a normal upgrade prompt information maxlosVersionTips.

After the UE completes the target application startup, it reads its own device type. If it is an ios device type, let type=0. If it is an Android device type, let type=1. Then type=1 or type=0 is included in the startup function and sent to the server.

The server receives the startup completion function and parses it. If the type=1 is parsed, the application upgrade information "minAndroidVersion, maxAndroidVersion, androidDownloadLink, minAndroidVersionTips, and maxAndroidVersionTips" of the Android version is obtained, and the application upgrade information of the Android version is sent to the UE. If type=0 is parsed, the application upgrade information "minlosVersion, maxlosVersion, losDownloadLink, minlosVersionTips, and maxlosVersionTips" of the ios version is obtained, and the application upgrade information of the ios version is sent. Send it to the UE.

Next, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flowchart of a method for upgrading an application on a UE side according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes:

S201: The user equipment sends a request to the server to indicate that the user equipment requests to obtain application upgrade information of the target application.

S202: Receive application upgrade information of the target application that is sent by the server according to the request.

S203: Determine, according to the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade and the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade, that the user equipment upgrades the target application in a target upgrade manner;

S204: Acquire a target application predetermined version based on the target application predetermined version link, and upgrade the target application according to the target upgrade manner.

Specifically, the UE receives the application upgrade information sent by the server in S202. Further, if the server is to package the application upgrade information of each version in the application upgrade information, the UE further needs to filter the application upgrade information adapted to its own version according to the type of the device. For example, the application upgrade information sent by the server includes application upgrade information (minAndroidVersion, maxAndroidVersion, androidDownloadLink, minAndroidVersionTips, and maxAndroidVersionTips) of the Android version and application upgrade information (minlosVersion, maxlosVersion, losDownloadLink, minlosVersionTips, and maxlosVersionTips) of the ios version, and the UE is an ios device type. Then the UE filters out minlosVersion, maxlosVersion, losDownloadLink, minlosVersionTips and maxlosVersionTips.

Alternatively, the UE may also perform the following operations before S201:

Obtaining the device type parameter;

After the target application is started, generating the request based on the device type parameter, so that the server determines, according to the device type parameter in the request, the identifier of the target application corresponding to the device type parameter First application upgrade information.

Then the server will directly send the first application upgrade information that matches the UE device type to the UE based on the device type parameter. The implementation of the above generation request is described above, and the details are not repeated here. In a specific implementation process, a person of ordinary skill in the art may choose to send or not send a device type parameter type to the UE, and the present invention does not specifically limit the present invention.

Then, in S203, based on the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade in the application upgrade information and the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade, it is determined whether to upgrade the application, and if it is determined that the application needs to be upgraded, the application is specifically upgraded in the target upgrade manner. The target upgrade mode in the embodiment of the present invention includes a forced upgrade mode and a normal upgrade mode. S203 can be implemented by the following process:

Obtaining a current version parameter of the target application installed by the user equipment;

When the current version parameter is lower than the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade, determining that the forced upgrade mode is the target upgrade mode;

When the current version parameter is equal to or higher than the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade, and is lower than the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade, it is determined that the normal upgrade mode is the target upgrade mode.

Specifically, the UE reads the current version parameter of the target application currently installed in the UE, and then compares the current version parameter with the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade and the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade, thereby determining whether the target application needs to be upgraded. And if you want to upgrade the target application, the specific target upgrade method.

In the embodiment of the present invention, whether the server sends the application upgrade information of each version to the UE or the first application upgrade information corresponding to the UE, the current version parameter and the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade and the highest version of the normal upgrade are compared. When the parameters are compared, they are compared with the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade of the same version and the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade.

For convenience of description, the present invention is described by taking an Android version and an ios version as an example. Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a logic flow chart for determining a target upgrade mode according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1. Android type UE: The UE receives the minAndroidVersion, maxAndroidVersion, androidDownloadLink, minAndroidVersionTips and maxAndroidVersionTips sent by the server. Get the current version parameter AndroidCurrentVersion. When the AndroidCurrentVersion is smaller than the minAndroidVersion, it indicates that the target application version currently installed by the UE is too low, and the forced upgrade is required to allow the user to continue to use. Therefore, it is determined that the target application needs to be upgraded, and the target upgrade mode is determined to be the forced upgrade mode. Then, based on androidDownloadLink to obtain a predetermined version higher than minAndroidVersion, and then upgrade the target application. At the same time, call the Android system's bullet box and output minAndroidVersionTips to prompt the user that the target application will perform a forced upgrade.

When AndroidCurrentVersion is equal to or higher than minAndroidVersion, and AndroidCurrentVersion is lower than maxAndroidVersion, it indicates that the target application version currently installed in the UE is higher, but not the highest version, so it can be allowed to continue to be used regardless of whether it is upgraded or not. Therefore, it is determined that the target application needs to be upgraded at this time, but the target upgrade mode is the normal upgrade mode. Next, call the Android system's bullet box, output maxAndroidVersionTips, prompt the user to choose to upgrade or not upgrade. If the user chooses to upgrade, the predetermined version is further obtained based on androidDownloadLink, thereby upgrading the target application.

If the AndroidCurrentVersion is equal to or higher than the maxAndroidVersion, it means that the target application version currently installed in the UE is already the highest, so it is determined that the target application does not need to be upgraded.

2. ios type UE: The UE receives the minlosVersion, maxlosVersion, losDownloadLink, minlosVersionTips and maxlosVersionTips sent by the server. Get the current version The parameter losCurrentVersion. When the losCurrentVersion is smaller than the minlosVersion, it indicates that the target application version currently installed by the UE is too low, and the forced upgrade is required to allow the user to continue to use. Therefore, it is determined that the target application needs to be upgraded, and the target upgrade mode is determined to be the forced upgrade mode. Then, based on losDownloadLink, a predetermined version higher than minlosVersion is obtained, thereby upgrading the target application. At the same time, call the ios system's bullet box and output minlosVersionTips to prompt the user that the target application will perform a forced upgrade.

When losCurrentVersion is equal to or higher than minlosVersion, and losCurrentVersion is lower than maxlosVersion, it means that the target application version currently installed in the UE is higher, but not the highest version, so it can be allowed to continue to be used regardless of whether it is upgraded or not. Therefore, it is determined that the target application needs to be upgraded at this time, but the target upgrade mode is the normal upgrade mode. Next, call the ios system's bullet box, output maxlosVersionTips, prompt the user to choose to upgrade or not upgrade. If the user chooses to upgrade, the predetermined version is further obtained based on losDownloadLink, thereby upgrading the target application.

If losCurrentVersion is equal to or higher than maxlosVersion, it means that the target application version currently installed in the UE is already the highest, so it is determined that the target application does not need to be upgraded.

It can be seen from the above description that, in the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the server receives a request sent by the user equipment to request to obtain application upgrade information of the target application, and sends the target application to the user equipment based on the request. Application upgrade information, the application upgrade information includes a minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade, a highest version parameter of the normal upgrade, and a target application predetermined version link, and the user equipment is based on the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade and the normal upgrade. The highest version parameter, the user equipment is upgraded in the target upgrade mode, and the target upgrade mode is a forced upgrade mode or a normal upgrade mode, and the target application subscription version is obtained based on the target application predetermined version link, and is followed. The target upgrade mode upgrades the target application. Therefore, the server sends the application upgrade information including the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade and the highest version parameter of the normal upgrade to the user equipment, and the user equipment can be combined according to the minimum version parameter of the forced upgrade and the highest version parameter of the ordinary upgrade. The actual situation of the target application installed by the user determines whether the application should be upgraded in the forced upgrade mode or the normal upgrade mode. Therefore, the technical problem that only the unified upgrade of all user equipments or the general upgrade target application can be unified in the prior art is realized, the differentiated upgrade application is realized, and the targeted application upgrade is enhanced.
