Fig. 3 is a structural block diagram of a generating system of a terminal application according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 3, this embodiment includes:

The application management device 30 is configured to receive the user's application development request containing the information text of the target application, and store the information text of the target application in the application storage device 31;

An application storage device 31, configured to store the information text of the target application;

Among them, the application management device 30 interacts with the development user, and is mainly responsible for receiving the user's application development request. The application development request includes the information text of the target application, and the application management device 30 performs preliminary verification on the information text of the target application submitted by the user. It is stored in the application storage device 31 and waits for the next step of processing; meanwhile, it is also responsible for feeding back the generated target application to the development user.

The application storage device 31 is mainly used to store the development-related data of each application, and the storage content includes: the information text of the target application submitted by the user, and the generated target application. The application storage device 31 sends the stored information text of the target application to the terminal application generation device 32 .

The terminal application generation device 32 is the core device of the terminal application generation system, which automatically combines the information text of the target application submitted by the user with the corresponding script template: the information text includes the configuration information of the target application, but the configuration information of these configuration information The format may not meet the requirements of the script template. Therefore, the information file needs to be analyzed, extracted, and reorganized first to obtain multiple files in the format specified by the script template. The multiple files contain the configuration information of the target application. A plurality of files are filled into the corresponding variables of the script template, and then the generating device 32 of the terminal application dynamically compiles the filled script into a binary executable code, and then binds it to the bottom engine of the target terminal platform, and finally generates a binary executable code on the target terminal platform. The above package generates a target application that can be installed and run. The terminal application generation device 32 stores the generated target application in the application storage device 31, and the application management device 30 feeds back the generated target application to the development user.

Below in conjunction with the system shown in Figure 3, taking the terminal platform as the mobile phone platform and the target application as the mobile phone application as an example, the method for generating the terminal application of the present invention is further introduced. In the embodiment of the present invention, firstly, a script template needs to be generated. The generation process is as follows: first call the API (Application Programming Interface, application programming interface), create a script interpreter; then register the script function library file that the mobile application needs to use, then call the API, load the script file to generate a script template, and then load the script analysis The script template is analyzed and validated by the The generated script template can realize the functions of the mobile phone application, including a plurality of variables to be set, and by assigning values to the variables, a variety of mobile phone applications with different effects can be obtained. For example, the script template of an e-book reading application includes multiple variables corresponding to functions such as page turning and table of contents. By assigning different values to these multiple variables, you can finally obtain multiple e-books with completely different page turning effects and table of contents functions. Read the application.

After compiling the script template, the steps performed by the generating device of the terminal application of the present invention are as follows:

Step S1: Content Configuration

The generating device 32 of the terminal application first needs to analyze and extract the information text of the mobile phone application provided by the user. The information text of the mobile phone application provided by the user includes configuration information of the mobile phone application, and the mobile phone application is an e-book running on the Android platform. Taking the reading application as an example, the configuration information includes the picture of the appearance of the e-book, the content of the text, and so on. Firstly, the information text of the mobile phone application is split into a plurality of different preset content elements, such as cover, title, chapter, table of contents, characters and so on. After extracting different content elements, it is necessary to re-arrange and reorganize the content elements so that the content form meets the requirements specified in the script template, such as generating text in multiple preset formats, which includes configuration information for mobile applications, It also meets the requirements specified in the script template, and can be directly filled into the corresponding variables of the script template.

Step S2: Template combination

The generation device 32 of the terminal application fills the above-mentioned multiple preset texts into different variables of the pre-programmed script template. In this step, techniques such as pattern matching and fuzzy intelligence can be used to improve matching and filling efficiency. Among them, the pattern matching technology can quickly match the meta information (such as title, author, etc.) in the reorganized information text, and the fuzzy intelligence technology can dynamically identify the scattered meta information of the reorganized information text according to the context and environmental information of the information text, and then Fill in the relevant variables of the script template.

Taking the mobile phone application as an e-book reading application running on the Android platform as an example, the pre-compiled script template can realize the e-book reading application, and the multiple variables of the script template are used to set the configuration information of the e-book reading application, such as preset The formatted text contains configuration information for functions such as page-turning effects and catalogs. If the text in the preset format is filled into the relevant variables of the script template, the filled script template can realize the corresponding page-turning effect and catalog functions.

The generation device 32 of the terminal application uses the script compiler to analyze the syntax and semantics of the completed script, generates the data structure of the script language tree of the intermediate process, and further compiles the data structure to generate binary executable code. The technology can convert abstract scripting language logic compilation into efficient executable code. Unlike other technologies that convert scripts into C or Java, this script compilation technology does not introduce language conversion and translation errors, and the execution of executable code is more efficient.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a large amount of application logic is solidified through pre-programmed script templates. According to different mobile phone applications, information files provided by users can be combined with different script templates to realize different types of functions, such as in the script templates of e-book reading applications. Combined with different book pictures and text content, the functions of page turning and catalog can form completely different page turning effects and catalog functions.

Step S3: Engine packaging

The underlying engine is responsible for running the executable code on the final specific mobile phone platform. Therefore, for mobile phone applications, it is necessary to bind the executable code to different underlying engines for different mobile phone platforms and package the mobile phone platform.

The generation device 32 of terminal application binds the binary executable code generated in step S2 and the underlying engine of the target mobile phone platform, so that the underlying functions of the target mobile phone platform can be correctly executed to ensure that an executable application program is produced; according to The specifications of the target mobile phone platform package the application program to generate a mobile phone application that can be installed and run on the target mobile phone platform. Taking the mobile phone application as an e-book reading application running on the Android platform as an example, the binary executable code generated in step S2 is bound to the underlying engine of the Android platform to generate an executable application program, and then according to the Android platform According to the specification, the application program can be packaged to obtain an e-book reading application that can be installed and run on the Android platform.

Through the above steps S1-S3, the terminal application generating device 32 generates the mobile phone application requested by the user, and the mobile phone application can be installed and run on the target mobile phone platform. The terminal application generation device 32 stores the generated mobile phone application in the application storage device 31, and the application management device 30 feeds back the generated mobile phone application to the developer user.

The present invention abstractly decomposes the mobile phone application into three levels of information text, script template, and execution engine. Both the script template and the execution engine are pre-programmed and can directly support multiple mobile phone platforms. In this way, when generating a specific mobile phone application, it is only necessary to configure and bind the information text of the mobile application with the script template and execution engine . Therefore, when users need to generate mobile phone applications, they only need to provide information text in a fixed format, and a large number of different mobile phone applications can be generated according to the corresponding script templates, and can run on mobile phones with different screens and different platforms. Functional test verification and mobile phone terminal adaptation work do not need to be repeatedly developed during upgrades, which improves the development efficiency of mobile phone applications, and at the same time solves the incompatibility of existing solutions on smart phone platforms, simple language expression, specification formulation and technical prospects Unknown problems, so that users can quickly and effectively generate mobile phone applications.

Many functional components described in this specification are referred to as modules in order to more particularly emphasize the independence of their implementation.

In the embodiments of the present invention, the modules may be implemented by software so as to be executed by various types of processors. An identified module of executable code may, by way of example, comprise one or more physical or logical blocks of computer instructions which may, for example, be structured as an object, procedure, or function. Notwithstanding, the executable code of an identified module need not be physically located together, but may include distinct instructions stored in different bits which, when logically combined, constitute the module and implement the specified Purpose.

Indeed, a module of executable code may be a single instruction, or many instructions, and may even be distributed over several different code segments, among different programs and across multiple memory devices. Likewise, operational data may be identified within modules, and may be implemented in any suitable form and organized within any suitable type of data structure. The operational data may be collected as a single data set, or may be distributed in different locations (including on different storage devices), and may exist, at least in part, only as electronic signals on a system or network.

When the module can be realized by software, considering the level of the existing hardware technology, the module that can be realized by software, regardless of the cost, those skilled in the art can build the corresponding hardware circuit to realize the corresponding function. The hardware circuit includes conventional very large scale integration (VLSI) circuits or gate arrays as well as existing semiconductors such as logic chips, transistors, or other discrete components. A module may also be implemented in programmable hardware devices such as field programmable gate arrays, programmable array logic, programmable logic devices, and the like.

In each method embodiment of the present invention, the sequence number of each step can not be used to limit the order of each step. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the order of each step can be changed without paying creative work. Also within the protection scope of the present invention.

The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, some improvements and modifications can also be made, and these improvements and modifications can also be made. It should be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
