In a specific implementation, the mobile device side may access the computing device in a wireless manner, which may include the following situations:

1. With wireless router

In this way, the mobile device is connected to the router through WIFI, the computing device is connected to the router through WIFI or a network cable, the ftp service is opened on the mobile device with software such as websharing, virtual data cable, and application master, and the ftp service is opened on the computing device with a browser After that, transfer the application.

2. There is no wireless router, and the computing device has a wireless network card

2.1 wireless network card supports mywifi technology

Set the computing device as a wifi hotspot (manual setting under xp, manual setting under win7 or use connectify software), connect the mobile device to the computing device through wifi; use websharing, virtual data line, application master and other software to open ftp service on the mobile device , use the browser on the computing device to open ftp and then transfer the application.

2.2 The wireless network card does not support mywifi technology

Turn on the wifi hotspot of the mobile device, connect the computing device to the mobile device through wifi, open ftp service on the mobile device with software such as websharing, virtual data cable, and application master, and open ftp on the computing device with a browser to transfer the application.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the wireless direct connection between the mobile device and the computing device may be a Wifi direct connection, for example, a mobile device management program on the mobile device side may create a Wifi direct server. The wireless direct connection information sent is Wifi direct connection information, specifically a character string in Json format, including: the IP address of the mobile device, the mac address, the verification code of the wifi direct connection, and the model of the mobile device. For example: {"ip":"192.168.0.12","mac":"14:d1:d2:a4:a2:45","key"="1235b","brand"="htc",model=" G7"}.

The mobile device side can be connected to the computing device through any of the above wireless connection methods or other wireless connection methods, and the embodiment of the present invention does not need to limit the specific connection method of the mobile device to the wired device.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 1 , if the downloading of the application by the client application does not consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device, then proceed to step S105. In step S105, the client application is controlled to download the application from the network side server according to the description information of the application.

Specifically, when the client application program is a video player, the video player can receive and play the video application sent by the server on the network side; The application corresponding to the description information.

In one embodiment of the present invention, before controlling the client application program to download the application corresponding to the application description information from the network side server according to the application description information, the client application program can detect the size of the application to be downloaded, and the The size of the application to be downloaded is compared with the preset threshold. If the size of the application to be downloaded is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the client application can generate a compression request according to the description information of the application to be downloaded. Then, the compression request is sent to the network side server, and the network side server performs compression processing on the application corresponding to the description information of the application according to the compression request. If the size of the application to be downloaded is smaller than a preset threshold, the client application program is controlled to download the application corresponding to the description information of the application from the network side server.

The above preset threshold can be set as required, and the application to be downloaded can be an application upgrade package, an application installation package, a video file, etc.; the format of the above compression request can be Gzip format, Gzip format is the abbreviation of GNUzip, send Gzip Compressing requests in the format reduces request size and speeds up transfers.

In the preprocessing stage, the received compressed request is parsed to obtain uncompressed data;

The above-mentioned network side server can be an Nginx server, and the Nginx server itself has a Phases mechanism. Specifically, a compressed request can be divided into several phases, such as a preprocessing (access) phase and a content processing (content) phase. Among them, The access phase is used to pre-process the request; the content phase is used to process the final response data;

In the preprocessing stage, scripting language can be used to analyze the received compression request, for example, a scripting language such as Lua can be used to call the data compression library (zlib) or Lua can be used to call the external function interface (FFI) to analyze the received compression request ; Of course, other types of scripting languages such as perl can be used instead of Lua;

The network side server receives the compression request in Gzip format sent by the client application program, and the compression request includes the description information of the application to be downloaded;

Under normal circumstances, users install many applications on each mobile phone, including self-installed ones and system built-in ones, which add up to about one hundred to two hundred. One function of the mobile assistant is to query which applications of the mobile device need to be upgraded. When the mobile assistant detects that there are many business applications that need to be upgraded, it needs to send the application package name and version number installed on the machine to the network side server in the form of a Gzip compression request, because the Gzip compression request can reduce the request size to about 1/10 size, which can improve the response speed;

The mobile assistant can be located on the mobile device or on the computing device. Therefore, in this embodiment, the mobile device can be a mobile phone, that is, when the mobile assistant located on the mobile phone detects that there are many business applications that need to be upgraded on the mobile phone, the The application package name and version number installed on the mobile phone are sent to the network side server in the form of a Gzip compressed request.

In another embodiment of the present invention, before controlling the client application program to download the application corresponding to the application description information from the network side server according to the application description information, the client application program can detect the current power level of the battery of the mobile device, For example, use the battery management tool (BatteryManager) of the mobile device to obtain the current power of the battery of the mobile device; then compare the current power of the battery of the mobile device with the preset power threshold; if the current power of the battery of the mobile device is greater than or equal to the preset When the power threshold is reached, perform the step of controlling the client application program to download the application corresponding to the application description information from the network side server; if the current power of the battery of the mobile device is less than the preset power threshold , the step of controlling the client application program to suspend downloading the application corresponding to the description information of the application is performed.

Optionally, the preset power threshold can be set as battery power × 30%, that is, if the current power of the battery of the mobile device is less than the battery power × 30%, the client application of the mobile device is not allowed to download the application, to avoid The mobile device consumes battery power due to downloading applications too quickly, prolonging the standby time of the mobile device. Of course, it can be understood that the preset power threshold is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

In another embodiment of the present invention, when the mobile device is connected to the network side server through the wireless local area network, and the control client application program downloads the application from the network side server according to the description information of the application, the method further includes: judging whether the mobile device is in standby In the lock screen state, if the mobile device is in the standby lock screen state, continue to maintain the connection between the mobile device and the wireless LAN, so as to avoid the disconnection of the WiFi connection because the mobile device is in the standby lock screen state.

Further, after the client application program finishes downloading the application, it can send a notification message to the mobile device, instructing the mobile device to disconnect from the wireless local area network.

If the downloading of the application by the mobile device will consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device, then enter step S107, and in step S107, control the client application program to suspend downloading the application.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the client application program can be controlled to suspend downloading the application sent by the server on the network side by disconnecting the network connection. For example, you can use the stopdownload command to suspend the process of downloading the application by the client application.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile device is controlled to disconnect from the network side server, so as to control the client application program to suspend downloading the application sent by the network side server. For example: sending a notification message of disconnecting from the network side server to the mobile device, so as to control the client application program to suspend downloading the application sent by the network side server.

Specifically, the network access right of the mobile device is obtained through a monitoring program in the mobile device, and the network access right of the mobile device is closed.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the connection between the client application program and the network side server in the mobile device is disconnected, and the control client application program cannot send the download request to the network side server, or cannot receive the application program sent by the network side server. . Specifically, the network access authority of the client application program is controlled through the monitoring program in the mobile device, and the network access authority of the client application program is closed.

In an embodiment of the present invention, after the client application program is suspended from downloading the application corresponding to the application description information from the network side, when it is detected that the client application program downloading the application on the mobile device will not consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device, Can resume client application download application

Optionally, after step S107, the method further includes: step S109 and step S111. In step S109, it is judged whether downloading the application by the client application will consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device.

In one embodiment of the present invention, it may be periodically determined whether the client application program downloads the application will consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device, so that once the client application program downloads the application, the mobile device's Internet traffic will not be consumed, for example, the mobile device connects to In the wireless local area network, you can resume downloading applications. For example: the client application program of the mobile device can cache the application that has not been downloaded yet, and when the mobile device is connected to the WiFi network, trigger the client application program to continue the previous unfinished download task. Optionally, the location of the cache can be is in the SD card of the mobile device.

In another embodiment of the present invention, when the network connected to the mobile device changes, it can be determined whether the downloading of the client application program will consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device, for example: the network connected to the mobile device has changed It may be: the mobile device is connected to the WiFi network, or the mobile device is disconnected from the WiFi network, but of course it is not limited thereto. Optionally, in this embodiment, a network management tool (NetworkManager) of the mobile device may be used to determine whether the status of the network to which the mobile device is connected changes.

In one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to determine whether the network connected to the mobile device has changed by detecting the working status of the WiFi network card of the mobile device. For example, when the WiFi network card of the mobile device is connected to the WiFi network, the first case is After the WiFi network card is turned on, and the mobile device performs a network connection operation, it is determined that the mobile device has established a connection with the WiFi network, that is, the network connected to the mobile device has changed; the second situation is that the WiFi network card is turned on, and the interruption is in progress. network connection, it is determined that the network status of the mobile device is switching from 2G/3G network to WiFi network; the third situation is that although the WiFi network card is turned on, but the mobile device is not connected to the network, the state of the mobile device may be in WiFi at this time. If the network cannot be connected or the WiFi network is switching to the 2G/3G network, then the network status of the mobile device is 2G/3G network at this time, that is, the network connected to the mobile device has not changed.

If downloading the application by the client application program will consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device, proceed to step S107.

If the downloading of the application by the client application program does not consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device, then enter step S111, and in step S111, control the client application program to resume downloading the application. Specifically, the network access authority of the mobile device or the client application program in the mobile device can be restored, so that the client application program can continue to download applications.

In the above steps, when the downloading of the application by the client application will consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device, the download of the client application is suspended. If the user's Internet traffic is sufficient, for example, the user has purchased a few hundred megabytes of Internet traffic package, it is also possible to first determine whether the amount of application data downloaded by the client application meets the predetermined conditions, and if so, the mobile device's Internet traffic is consumed In the case of , the application can also be downloaded, and if the predetermined condition is not met, the download of the client application is suspended.

Optionally, after step S103 and before step S107, the method further includes: step S113, step S115, step S117, and step S119, wherein, in step S113, the application data volume of the client application download application is obtained. For example, there will be a large number of downloadable applications stored in the server on the network side, and relevant information of the application, such as the size of the application, will be stored. The client application program on the mobile device can send a download request message to the server on the network side. The server on the network side can obtain the size of the application according to the identification of the application in the download request message, and then send the application data volume of the application to the client application program.

Step S115, comparing the application data volume of the application with a preset threshold. Optionally, the preset threshold can be set by the user, for example, according to the Internet traffic package purchased by the user. If the Internet traffic package has hundreds of megabytes (for example, 500M), the preset threshold can also be set Large (eg 10M). Of course, it can be understood that the specific value of the preset threshold is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Step S117, if the amount of application data of the application is less than the preset threshold, control the client application program to download the application from the network side server according to the description information of the application. Although downloading the application will consume the Internet traffic of the mobile device, since the Internet traffic of the mobile device is sufficient, the Internet traffic consumed this time will not affect the user's subsequent use, so the client application can be allowed to download the application.
