With continued reference to FIG. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for detecting an application according to the present application is shown. The method for detecting an application comprises the following steps:

in step 201, an application file of an application to be detected is received.

In this embodiment, an execution body (e.g., the server 105 shown in fig. 1) on which the method for detecting an application runs may receive an application file of an application to be detected, where the application file of the application to be detected may refer to a computer program file of the application to be detected, and may be, for example, an installation package of the application to be detected.

Step 202, obtaining an application identifier of the application to be detected based on the application file.

In this embodiment, the executing body may obtain the application identifier of the application to be detected based on the received application file of the application to be detected, where the application identifier may be an identifier for distinguishing different applications, and one application identifier uniquely identifies one application, and different versions of the same application use the same application identifier. As an example, the application identifier of an application may be the package name of the application.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the step 202 may specifically include:

And step I, based on the application file of the application to be detected, the execution body can determine whether the first application information set comprises standby application information, wherein the application file of the application corresponding to the standby application information is matched with the application file of the application to be detected, and the application information in the first application information set comprises an application identifier. As an example, the application file of the application corresponding to the standby application information being matched with the application file of the application to be detected may mean that the application file of the application corresponding to the standby application information is identical to the application file of the application to be detected.

And step II, in response to determining that the standby application information exists in the first application information set, the execution body may use an application identifier of the standby application information as an application identifier of the application to be detected.

And step III, in response to determining that the standby application information does not exist in the first application information set, the execution body can analyze the application file of the application to be detected to obtain an application identifier of the application to be detected. As an example, the executing body may analyze the application file of the application to be detected using an existing application file analysis tool, so as to obtain application information such as an application identifier, version number, developer information, hash value, and the like of the application to be detected.

In some alternative implementations, the step I may specifically include: first, the execution body may generate a download link according to the application file of the application to be detected, where the download link may include a uniform resource locator (Uniform Resource Locator, URL) and a timestamp, where the timestamp is generated based on a time of receiving the application file of the application to be detected, and the execution body may obtain a time of receiving the application file of the application to be detected according to the download link, where the download link may uniquely correspond to the application file, and for the same application file, URLs in the generated download link are the same and different at different times. It should be noted that, for one download link, when the content of the application file pointed to by the download link URL occurs due to modification by the developer, the timestamp in the download link is updated to the timestamp generated based on the modification time. As an example, the download link may also include a random number, received at different times for the same application file, the URL in the generated download link being the same, the timestamp and the random number being different. Then, the executing body may match the download link with a download link of an application included in the application information in the first application information set, where the application information in the first application information set includes a download link of the application. Finally, in response to determining that the download link matches a download link of an application included in the application information in the first application information set, the execution body may determine that the matched application information is standby application information. As an example, when the time corresponding to the URL and the time stamp of the download link is the same as the time corresponding to the URL and the time stamp of the download link of a certain piece of application information in the first application information set, the execution subject may determine that the download link matches the download link of the application included in the application information in the first application information set, and at this time, the piece of application information in the first application information set may be used as the standby application information.

In some alternative implementations, the step I may specifically include: first, the execution body may calculate a hash value of the application file of the application to be detected. Then, the execution body may match the hash value with a hash value of an application file of an application corresponding to the application information in the first application information set. Finally, in response to determining that the hash value matches a hash value of an application file of an application corresponding to the application information in the first application information set, the execution body may determine that the application information corresponding to the application file with the hash value matching is standby application information. As an example, when the hash value of the application file of the application to be detected is equal to the hash value of the application file of the application corresponding to a certain piece of application information in the first application information set, the execution body may determine that the hash value matches the hash value of the application file of the application corresponding to the application information in the first application information set, and at this time, the piece of application information in the first application information set that matches the hash value of the application file of the application to be detected may be used as the standby application information.

Step 203, determining whether the preset first application information set includes application information of the target application with the same application identifier as the application identifier of the application to be detected.

In this embodiment, a first application information set may be preset in the execution body, where the first application information set may be used to store application information of an application received locally, and the application information of the application may include various information related to the application, for example, developer information of the application, a name of the application, version information of the application, an application identifier of the application, software copyright certification qualification information of an application developer, and so on. The execution body may determine whether application information of the target application having the same application identifier as the application identifier of the application to be tested is included in the first application information set.

In step 204, in response to determining that the first set of application information includes application information for a target application having an application identifier that is the same as an application identifier of the application to be detected, it is determined whether a developer of the application to be detected is the same as a developer of the target application.

In this embodiment, in response to determining that the first application information set includes application information of a target application having an application identifier identical to an application identifier of the application to be detected, the execution body may determine whether a developer of the application to be detected is identical to a developer of the target application.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, in the step 204, determining whether the developer of the application to be detected is the same as the developer of the target application may specifically include: the execution body may determine whether the developer of the application to be detected is the same as the developer of the target application according to a user identifier of a user who uploads the application file of the application to be detected and a user identifier of a user who uploads the target application, wherein the user identifier of the user is generated based on registration information transmitted by the user. Here, the application to be detected is uploaded by the user through a client. Typically, before the user uploads the application file through the client, the user needs to send registration information through the client, for example, the registration information may include a developer property (personal, company, etc.), a business license (for the case where the developer property is company), a contact address, a mailbox, an identification number (for the case where the developer property is personal), etc., after the registration is successful, the user may obtain a unique user identifier thereof, and when it is determined that the user identifier of the user uploading the application file of the application to be detected is identical to the user identifier of the user uploading the target application, the executing entity may determine whether the developer of the application to be detected is identical to the developer of the target application.

With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the method for detecting an application according to the present embodiment. In the application scenario of fig. 3, a user first sends an application file of an application to be detected to a server 302 through a terminal device 301; then, the server 302 obtains the application identifier com.aa.123 of the application to be detected based on the received application file; then, the server 302 determines whether the locally preset first application information set includes application information of the target application with the same application identifier as the application identifier com.aa.123 of the application to be detected; finally, in response to determining that the first application information set includes application information of a target application having an application identifier identical to the application identifier com.aa.123 of the application to be detected, the server 302 may further determine whether a developer of the application to be detected is identical to a developer of the target application.

The method provided by the embodiment of the application to be detected can realize verification of the developer of the application to be detected by determining whether the developer of the application to be detected is the same as the developer of the target application in the first application information set, so that whether the application to be detected is infringing or not is detected.

With further reference to fig. 4, a flow 400 of yet another embodiment of a method for detecting an application is shown. The flow 400 of the method for detecting an application comprises the steps of:

in step 401, an application file of an application to be detected is received.

Step 402, obtaining an application identifier of the application to be detected based on the application file.

Step 403, determining whether the preset first application information set includes application information of the target application with the same application identifier as the application identifier of the application to be detected.

In response to determining that the first set of application information includes application information for a target application having an application identifier that is the same as the application identifier of the application to be detected, a determination is made as to whether the developer of the application to be detected is the same as the developer of the target application, step 404.

In response to determining that the developer of the application to be detected is the same as the developer of the target application, it is detected whether the version of the application to be detected is up to date, step 405.

In this embodiment, in response to determining that the developer of the application to be detected is the same as the developer of the target application, the execution subject may further detect whether the version of the application to be detected is up to date, and as an example, the execution subject may compare version information (for example, version number) corresponding to the target application with version information of the application to be detected, and determine whether the version of the application to be detected is up to date according to the comparison result.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, in step 405, detecting whether the version of the application to be detected is up to date may specifically include the following steps:

in step S1, the executing body may obtain, from the first application information set, a first latest version number corresponding to the application identifier of the application to be detected according to the application identifier of the application to be detected. When an application has multiple versions, each version corresponds to a version number, the executing body may determine, according to a preset version number definition rule, that one of the multiple version numbers of the same application is the version number corresponding to the latest version, and determine the version number corresponding to the latest version as the latest version number. As an example, the execution body may use, as the first latest version number, a latest version number corresponding to an application having the same application identifier as the application identifier of the application to be detected in the first application information set.

In step S2, the executing body may determine, according to the version number of the application to be detected and the first latest version number, whether the version of the application to be detected is newer than the version corresponding to the first latest version number.

And step S3, in response to determining that the version of the application to be detected is not newer than the version corresponding to the first latest version number, sending second prompt information to the client, wherein the second prompt information is used for prompting the user to upload an application newer than the version of the application to be detected or the same as the version of the application to be detected. As an example, when detecting that the version of the application to be detected is older than the version corresponding to the first latest version number or the same as the version corresponding to the first latest version number, the execution body may send a prompt message "you have released an application of a higher version or the same version," if you want to update this application, please update the version to XXX or above, to the client. ".

In step S4, in response to determining that the version of the application to be detected is newer than the version corresponding to the first latest version number, the executing body may obtain, from a second set of application information set in advance, a second latest version number corresponding to the application identifier of the application to be detected according to the application identifier of the application to be detected, and as an example, the executing body may use, as the second latest version number, the latest version number corresponding to the application having the same application identifier as the application identifier of the application to be detected in the second application information set. Here, the second application information set may be used to store application information of an application acquired from a third-party website, and the execution subject may further perform the following detection operation:

The execution body may detect whether the version of the application to be detected is older than the version corresponding to the second latest version number.

In response to determining that the version of the application to be detected is not older than the version corresponding to the second latest version number, i.e., the version of the application to be detected is newer than the version corresponding to the second latest version number, or the same as the version corresponding to the second latest version number, the execution body may determine that the application to be detected is a valid application.

In response to determining that the version of the application to be detected is older than the version corresponding to the second latest version number, the execution body may send third prompting information to the client, where the third prompting information is used to prompt the user that the third party website already has an application newer than the version of the application to be detected. As an example, when detecting that the version of the application to be detected is older than the version corresponding to the second latest version number, the execution subject may send a hint message "the same application of higher version XXX has been found in XX application store" to the client, if you want to update this application, please update the version to XXX or above. ".

In some optional implementations, in step S4, in response to determining that the application to be detected is a valid application, the executing entity may store application information of the application to be detected and a user identifier of the user in association with the first application information set.

And step 406, in response to determining that the developer of the application to be detected is different from the developer of the target application, sending first prompt information to the client.

In this embodiment, in response to determining that the developer of the application to be detected is different from the developer of the target application, the executing body may send first prompt information to the client, where the first prompt information is used to prompt the user that the target application having the same application identifier as the application to be detected has been uploaded by another developer, and the application to be detected is uploaded by the user through the client. As an example, when it is detected that the developer of the application to be detected is different from the developer of the target application, the execution subject may send the following hint information "there is currently an application with the same application identifier submitted by other developers locally" to the client: xxx. If you are the developer of the application, please click here to get the application.
