As shown in FIG. 1, an application update method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

S1, determining whether there is an application to be updated in the terminal;

S2. If there is an application to be updated, determine whether an available WiFi network exists in the network environment where the terminal is located;

S3. If there is a WiFi network available, connect to the available WiFi network, and download the update data of the application to be updated to the terminal through the available WiFi network.

When there is an application to be updated in the terminal, the embodiment may establish an update task in the terminal regardless of whether there is an available WiFi network, and automatically (for example, by silent download mode) the update task is to be updated when the available WiFi network exists. The application's update data is downloaded to the terminal. Therefore, regardless of whether there is an available network, when the user clicks on the update, the terminal can update the application to be updated by updating the data, which reduces the consideration of the network environment when the user updates the application, and makes the update of the application more intelligent and improved. user experience.

Preferably, the method further comprises:

S4. If there is no available WiFi network, an update task of downloading update data corresponding to the application to be updated is established, and the update task is stored. In order to directly perform the update task download update data when there is a subsequent available WiFi network, there is no need to detect the application to be updated again.

As shown in FIG. 1 , after the update task of downloading update data corresponding to the application to be updated is established, and the update task is stored (ie, step S4), the method further includes:

S5, re-determine whether the terminal exists in the network environment after the predetermined time interval Available WiFi network;

S6, if yes, connect to the available WiFi network and perform an update task to download the update data of the application to be updated to the terminal, and if there is still no available WiFi network, proceed to S5.

Preferably, the above method further comprises:

Receiving an update request for an application to be updated;

Searching, according to the request, whether the terminal has update data corresponding to the application to be updated;

If it exists, the application to be updated is updated according to the update data.

According to the embodiment, after the terminal downloads the data to be updated to the local, when the user clicks to update the application to be updated, the application to be updated may be directly updated from the locally acquired update data, without the user determining the current network environment.

Preferably, in determining whether the network environment includes an available WiFi network, specifically:

Determine whether a WiFi network exists in the network environment;

If there is a WiFi network, it is determined whether the WiFi network is an available WiFi network according to the connectivity. For example, to determine which WiFi network has been connected, the password of the WiFi network is generally retained, so the mailbox can be connected to the WiFi network.

If there is no WiFi network, you can download the update data directly through the data traffic, or display the prompt information to the user, and judge which network to use for download according to the user's choice.

Preferably, determining whether there is an application to be updated in the terminal (ie, step S1) includes:

S11. Obtain a list of applications in the terminal.

S12. Determine a current version number of the application in the terminal in the list.

S13, obtaining the latest version number of the application;

S14. Determine, according to the current version number and the latest version number, whether the application is an application to be updated.

When the current version number is different from the latest version number, the application is not the latest version. Therefore, it can be determined that it is an application to be updated. Judging according to the current version number and the latest version number, the judgment method is simple and fast.

Preferably, the updating of the application specifically includes:

Update the application in the list of updated applications and move the application that completed the update out of the list of applications to be updated.

If there are multiple applications to be updated, obtain the usage frequency and usage time of each application;

Prioritize updates to the most frequently used applications;

Or, in the case where the applications to be updated are used at the same frequency, the application whose last usage time is closest to the current time is preferentially updated.

So that users can prioritize the latest version of the most commonly used application, or the latest version of the most recently used application.

Preferably, the updating of the application specifically includes:

If there are multiple applications to be updated, the amount of data corresponding to the update data of each application is obtained;

The application corresponding to the update data with the smallest amount of data is preferentially updated.

Since the application corresponding to the update data with the smallest amount of data under normal circumstances has the shortest time to download and update the data, it can be updated first, and it can be ensured that more applications in the terminal can complete the update within a certain period of time.

Preferably, the updating of the application specifically includes:

If there are multiple applications to be updated, obtain the data amount of the update data corresponding to each application and the download speed of the WiFi network;

If the download speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed, the application corresponding to the update data with the largest amount of data is preferentially updated;

Otherwise, the application corresponding to the update data with the smallest amount of data is preferentially updated.

On the one hand, the embodiment can fully utilize the priority of the WiFi network traffic to be free, and try to update the application corresponding to the update data with the largest update data amount through the WiFi network, thereby reducing the traffic that may be generated. On the other hand, it can be guaranteed that more applications in the terminal can complete the update within a certain period of time.

The above embodiment schematically illustrates several update rules when there are multiple applications to be updated. In addition to being applicable to updating multiple applications, the above rules are also applicable to determining which update task to execute preferentially after establishing a plurality of update tasks for a plurality of applications to be updated.
