Detailed Description

Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and thus their repetitive description will be omitted.

The problems described in the background art exist in many scenarios, for example, in a scenario of providing a service to an enterprise, a plurality of clients in the enterprise each install a client tool, and the client tool provides a plurality of services. The client can be a notebook computer, a desktop computer or other equipment needing to be loaded with client tools. The services that the client tool can provide to the client may vary according to the specific type and scenario requirements of the client, for example, when the client is a computer, the services may include computer optimization. As the number of service types increases, the number of codes integrated by the client tool increases, which in turn leads to the bulkiness of the client tool and the reduction of the operation efficiency. In addition, if all the services are integrated with the client tool, each service update requires the update of the client tool, and thus, more system resources are consumed. To solve the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a program management method, an apparatus, a system, and a computer medium, and first, a program management method applied to a client is described with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a program management method applicable to a client in an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

step S11, obtaining a basic operation program of the client tool, wherein the basic operation program is used for supporting the basic function of the client tool;

step S12, obtaining application programs through the basic operation program;

and step S13, running the application program.

In a specific implementation, the basic running program is used for implementing the basic functions of the client, and the basic functions may include one or more of the following: communication with the server, downloading from the server, security checks, etc.

With reference to fig. 2, the server 21 may be a single server or a server cluster, and may specifically be determined according to the data volume and throughput corresponding to the number of the clients 22 to be served. The number and type of clients 22 may vary.

In the embodiment of the invention, the client tool running on the client is split and divided into the basic running program and the application program, wherein the basic running program is used for supporting the basic function of the client tool, and the application program is used for realizing other functions of the client tool. Therefore, when the functions of the client tool are updated, the basic application program is not required to be updated, and only the corresponding application program is required to be updated. Therefore, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention can improve the updating efficiency.

With combined reference to fig. 3, a specific implementation of step S12 in fig. 1 may include the following steps:

step S31, obtaining the download instruction data of the application program through the basic operation program, wherein the download instruction data comprises data indicating the download address of the application program;

and step S32, downloading the application program according to the downloading indication data.

In a specific implementation, the downloading the indication data may further include verifying the data, and the method may further include: and verifying the downloaded application program before running the application program, running the application program if the verification is passed, and otherwise, re-downloading the application program. Specifically, the check data may be a hash check code, or may be other types of check data.

The downloaded application program may be maliciously tampered by other programs of the client, so that the downloaded application program is verified before the application program is run, the application program is run only if the verification is passed, and the application program is downloaded again if the verification is not passed, so that the safety of the running application program can be ensured.

In a specific implementation, the check data may be encrypted data, for example, an encrypted hash check code. Specifically, the download instruction data may be encrypted data, and the verification data is a part of the encrypted data. The verifying the downloaded application program comprises: and after decrypting the encrypted verification data, performing the verification. The verification data is set to be encrypted data, the client tool decrypts the encrypted data and then verifies the encrypted data, and the application program is downloaded or run according to the verification result, so that the safety of the client tool can be further improved.

In particular implementations, the base runtime program may provide a selection interface for a user, and the user may select a desired application through the interface. The user side tool can obtain corresponding downloading indication data from the server according to the selection of the user, and further obtain corresponding application programs according to the downloading indication data. Therefore, users of different clients can obtain the application programs supported by the client tool according to the requirements of the users, and personalized customization is realized. Thus, system resources can be further saved.

Fig. 3 is a client tool management method suitable for a server in an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

step S31, sending basic operation program to client end, wherein the basic operation program is used to support basic function of the client end tool;

and step S32, communicating with the client through the basic operation program so as to provide the application program for the client.

In a specific implementation, the manner of providing the application program to the client may be various, and may be one server with the server providing the basic running program for the line client, or may be a different server.

By sending the basic operation program to the client, the client tool can be supported to realize basic functions. On this basis, the application program can be provided to the client based on the needs of the user or based on the application scene. Therefore, when a new application program is released, the basic operation program is not required to be updated, and the application program is only required to be updated through the basic operation program. Therefore, when the client tool needs to provide new service, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention can improve the updating efficiency.

Referring to fig. 4 in combination, in another embodiment of the present invention, a client tool management method for a server may include the following steps:

step S31, sending basic operation program to client end, wherein the basic operation program is used to support basic function of the client end tool;

step S42, editing the configuration data of the application program;

step S43, storing the configuration data to an application program database;

step S44, matching in the application program database to obtain the configuration data of the matched application program;

step S45, providing the application program for the client according to the configuration data of the matched application program.

The configuration data may include a name of the application program, a download address corresponding to the application program, or may further include check data, such as the aforementioned hash check code. And storing the updated or newly added configuration data of the application program into the database, matching the configuration data of the application program pointed by the client requirement from the database when the client needs to acquire the application program, and generating downloading indication data according to the configuration data. In this way, new service (application program) can be provided, or after the service is updated, only the updated application program is provided for the client, and the client tool installed on the client does not need to be completely updated, so that resources can be saved and the updating process can be optimized.

In a specific implementation, providing the application program for the client according to the configuration data of the matched application program may include: encrypting the configuration data to obtain downloading indication data; sending the downloading indication data to the client through the basic operation program; and storing the matched application program in the downloading position for the client to obtain.

As mentioned above, the check data may be encrypted data, for example, an encrypted hash check code. Specifically, the download instruction data may be encrypted data, and the verification data is a part of the encrypted data. The encrypted download indication data may be obtained by encrypting the configuration data. The client checks the downloaded application program, including: and after decrypting the encrypted verification data, performing the verification. The verification data is set to be encrypted data, the client tool decrypts the encrypted data and then verifies the encrypted data, and the application program is downloaded or run according to the verification result, so that the safety of the client tool can be further improved.

The client tool management method applicable to the server in the embodiment of the invention can be realized in a matching way with the program management method applicable to the client. So that the explanations, specific implementation manners and beneficial effects of the words and phrases mentioned in the two can be mutually referred.

As mentioned above, the download location of the application program may be located at the server that generates and stores the configuration data, or may be located at another server, which may be determined according to the number of clients to be served and the task amount.

Fig. 5 shows an architecture that divides the servers into a backend server 51 and a file server 52, wherein the backend server 51 is divided into two parts, namely an applet (application) backend management page and a backend interface, for the sake of clarity. The user side 53 is divided into an application platform and a client service from the perspective of displaying an interface and operating the inside of the client tool, the application platform corresponds to the interface displayed to the user, and the client service corresponds to the background operating part of the client tool.

As can be seen from fig. 5, the backend server 51 may provide a management page for adding or changing applications, setting configuration data (applet configuration), and storing the configuration data to a database. When the user selects and runs an application through an interface provided by an application platform installed in the client tool of the client 53, the backend server 51 provides the client 53 with download instruction data of the corresponding application program, that is, encrypted data in the figure.

It is understood that, for the user of the client 53, the operation may not be distinguished as obtaining or running the application program, and the running of the selected application program can be realized only by one selection, and the execution result of the application program can be seen through the step of displaying the execution result of the application program. Thus, the customer experience can be improved.

The client 53 executes the aforementioned steps of acquiring an application program from the download instruction data, verifying the downloaded application program (local applet), and the like through the client service. Where the download location of the application is located at the file server 52.

The embodiment of the invention also provides a client tool management system which can comprise a client, a file server and a background server. The client is suitable for obtaining a basic running program of a client tool from the background server, and the basic running program is used for supporting basic functions of the client tool; acquiring downloading indication data from the background server through the basic operating program; acquiring an application program from the file server according to the downloading indication data; running the application program; the background server is suitable for sending a basic operation program to a client, and the basic operation program is used for supporting the basic function of the client; communicating with a client through the basic operation program to provide the downloading indication data to the client, wherein the downloading indication data comprises a downloading position, and the downloading position is located in the file server; the file server is suitable for storing the corresponding application program at the downloading position for the client to download.
