In another optional implementation manner of the present invention, the step S3 further includes the following steps: according to the user authority provided by the database 102, the application program required by the user is installed or deleted through the installation and removal program unit 107, and the The installed application program information is written into the database, or the deleted application program information is deleted from the database; according to the application program list provided by the database 102, the authority of each program is set or modified through the active management program unit 108 .

In another optional implementation of the present invention, before installing the application program, check whether the current user is an administrator, if yes, install it, if not, it cannot be installed, and the system will default to an administrator level every time an application is installed Permissions, the administrator can flexibly adjust the permissions of each application after installation according to the situation. First of all, administrators, ordinary users, and visitors are used to distinguish users, and administrator permissions, ordinary user permissions, and visitor permissions are for each application. If the current user is an administrator, the program can be installed, if not, the program cannot be installed. Therefore, only the administrator can install the program. After the program is installed, the default authority of this program is an application with administrator authority, that is, the default application is not visible to other users. When setting, the id of the program and its authority will be written into the database 102 .

In another optional implementation manner of the present invention, the step S1 further includes the following steps: setting the database 102 in the mobile terminal, and connecting each functional module in a wired or wireless manner.

In another optional implementation manner of the present invention, the step S1 further includes the following steps: setting the database 102 outside the mobile terminal, and connecting each functional module in a wireless manner.

The application program self-management device and method thereof provided by the present invention can realize self-management without authentication with the server or interaction with the network; settings are made for each application program, and the permissions of the application program can be set Changes can be made at any time through the administrator of the device for easy operation.

As shown in Figures 2-4, in the application self-management device and method provided by the present invention, the owner (administrator) of the mobile device can set different access levels for each application, such as the administrator level , general user level, guest level; then set the current user level, and display the available applications according to the current user level. Set the current user level: Set the user rights in order from large to small to administrator, general user and guest. Set the access level of each application: set the access permissions for each application, for example, application 1 is a program that requires administrators to access, application 2 is a program that requires general user permissions to access, and so on. Admin Password Settings: To activate or set user levels, a password must be used to access the settings. Every time an app is installed, administrators can set its permissions. The administrator can set the currently available applications according to the convenience of the current device user. According to the currently set user level, applications at the current level and below in the application can be used, while applications above the current user level cannot be used. Only the administrator password can enter the settings, ordinary users and guests should not be able to enter the settings. Before the device owner (administrator) lends the device to a guest, after modifying the current application usage level to a guest, the administrator-level application will disappear or cannot be executed.

Figure 2 shows that when the current user is set as an administrator, the UI interface can display all application programs (app); Figure 3 shows that when the current user is set as a general user, the UI interface displays applications at the general user level and visitor level Program (app); FIG. 4 shows that when the current user is set as a visitor, only the application program (app) with visitor authority is displayed; wherein, squares A1 and A5: represent applications with administrator authority, which are only visible to administrators. Squares A2, A3 and A7: represent the application of user rights, which are visible to administrators and general users. Squares A4, A6, A8, and A9: Apps representing guest permissions, visible to guests, general users, and administrators. Figure 5 shows the setting interface entered after entering the password, where the current user and application level can be set.

As shown in Figure 6, another optional implementation method of the present invention: first, for each installed application program (app), we can store its id and authority in the database 102, and the administrator modifies each application Corresponding data also needs to be saved after the permission, and the id of the current user will also be saved in the database 102 at the same time, such as the current administrator, general user or visitor. Then reload the desktop according to the currently set user, that is, load the corresponding application program. For example, I am currently set as an ordinary user. After setting, search the database 102 to find out the program corresponding to the ordinary user, and then load it to the desktop. , for applications that do not exist, they are hidden so that users cannot see them and cannot use them. The contents that need to be saved in the database 102 include: currently set user information (administrator, general user or visitor), the ID of each application program and the permissions it sets (administrator authority applications, general user level applications or Visitor-level applications), these contents are stored in the database 102 rather than in the program. Next, set the flow of application permission (the administrator password is required to access): enter the settings -> input the administrator password -> set permissions for each application -> save the settings to a file or database 102 . Next, switch the user process (the administrator password is required to access): enter the settings -> enter the administrator password -> select the user to switch (you can also set the permissions of each application) -> save the data and exit the device Set->The desktop system loads the apps that the current user can use according to the set user. Then, install the new program: prepare to install the program -> check whether you are currently an administrator -> if you are an administrator, then perform the installation -> the installation is complete -> write the id and authority of the new program into our database 102, and put it Permissions are set to administrator permissions -> return -> if you are currently an administrator -> display this app. Next, the process of setting user and application permissions.
