For example, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm top computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited.

The execution subject of the application program recommendation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be the electronic device, or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the application program recommendation method in the electronic device, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes an electronic device as an example to exemplarily describe the application program recommendation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

The following describes an exemplary application recommendation method according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an application recommendation method, which may include steps 201 to 202 described below.

Step 201, the electronic device receives a first input of the electronic device from a user.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the user wants to know which applications (including the applications installed and/or the applications not installed in the electronic device) are popular in the friend circle of the user through the electronic device, the user may perform a first input on the electronic device at this time to trigger the electronic device to list which applications are popular in the friend circle of the user. Furthermore, the user can know applications popular in the friend circle of the user and applications installed on the electronic equipment of the user.

It will be appreciated that the more often an application is used, the more popular it is; alternatively, the more times an application is recommended, the more hot the application is.

It should be noted that the popularity may be expressed by a heat value (also referred to as an influence value). Specifically, the greater the heat value is, the higher the popularity is; the smaller the heat value, the lower the popularity.

It should be noted that the circle of friends may include one or more contacts in the address book of the electronic device. Alternatively, the circle of friends may include one or more contacts in an address book of an instant messaging application installed on the electronic device. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be an input (for example, a click input) to a first icon (the first icon is associated with the application leaderboard) displayed on the screen of the electronic device; alternatively, the first input may be an input (e.g., a press input) to a shortcut key of the electronic device, the shortcut key being associated with an application leaderboard; alternatively, the first input may be any other possible input, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Step 202, the electronic device responds to a first input, and displays a first application ranking list, wherein the first application ranking list comprises M application icons arranged according to a first sequence, the first sequence is determined according to historical behavior data of a target user on the M application programs, and the target user comprises a user of the electronic device and one or more users in an address book of the electronic device.

The M application icons are in one-to-one correspondence with the M application programs, namely, one application icon corresponds to one application program.

In the embodiment of the present invention, one or more users in the address book may be understood as all users in the address book, or as part of users preset in the address book.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the M application programs may include an installed application program and/or an uninstalled application program of the electronic device, and M is a positive integer.

In one possible implementation, the M applications include M applications that have been installed by the electronic device. Alternatively, for the application program of the fast application class, if the electronic device is authorized to use a certain fast application, the fast application may be classified as an installed application program of the electronic device.

In another possible implementation, the M applications include M applications that are not installed on the electronic device.

In yet another possible implementation, the M applications include T1 applications that have been installed and T2 uninstalled applications by the electronic device. Wherein the sum of T1 and T2 equals M.

Alternatively, the application recommendation method described above is also applicable to a plurality of applets in an application. Specifically, the M applications may include authorized applets and unauthorized applets in the application; alternatively, the M applications may include M authorized applets in the application; alternatively, the M applications may include M unauthorized applets in the application.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the user performs the first input on the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment can display the top M application programs ranked from high to low according to the popularity in the friend circle of the user, namely, the first application ranking list is displayed. Therefore, the user can know M application programs with high popularity to low popularity in the friend circle by looking up the first application ranking list.

Optionally, the first application ranking list includes not only the M application icons arranged according to the first order, but also a heat value of the application program corresponding to each application icon in the M application icons.

It should be noted that, for convenience of description, the application program may be represented by APP.

Illustratively, taking M applications including T1 installed applications and T2 uninstalled applications of the electronic device as an example, as shown in fig. 3, assuming that M is 5, the first application chart includes 5

application icons

31, 32, 33, 34, 35 arranged from high to low according to the heat value, and the 5 application icons respectively correspond to 5 applications APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, APP 5. It will be appreciated that these 5 applications are now the top 5 applications with the highest popularity in the user's circle of friends.

As further shown in fig. 3, the first application chart further includes a heat value of the application corresponding to each of the 5 application icons. The heat value of 5 applications of APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4 and APP5 is 1000, 900, 800, 700 and 600 in sequence, namely, the 5 applications are ranked from high to low according to the heat value.

As shown in fig. 3, the first application ranking list further includes installation situations of 5 applications, i.e., APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, and APP 5. For example, APP1 and APP4 are applications installed in the electronic device (T1 is 2), and APP2, APP3, and APP5 are applications not installed in the electronic device (T2 is 3).

Through the scheme, the electronic equipment can show the plurality of application programs with the popularity degree arranged from high to low in the friend circle to the user, and the problem that the user does not know how to select the popular application programs in the friends for the mass application programs is solved.

Further exemplarily, taking M applications including M applications that are not installed in the electronic device as an example, as shown in fig. 4, assuming that M is 5, the first application ranking list includes 5

application icons

36, 37, 38, 39, and 40 arranged from high to low according to the heat value, and the 5 application icons respectively correspond to 5 applications APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, and APP5 that are not installed. It will be appreciated that these 5 uninstalled applications are now the top 5 most popular applications in the user's circle of friends.

As further shown in fig. 4, the first application chart further includes a heat value of the application corresponding to each of the 5 application icons. The heat value of 5 applications of APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4 and APP5 is 1000, 900, 800, 700 and 600 in sequence, namely, the 5 applications are ranked from high to low according to the heat value.

As shown in fig. 4, the first application ranking list further includes download installation options corresponding to 5 applications, namely APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, and APP 5. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can show the most popular application programs in the friends to the user by combining the friend circle of the user, thereby increasing the interactivity among the friends.

Further exemplarily, taking M applications including M applications installed on the electronic device as an example, as shown in fig. 5, assuming that M is 5, the first application ranking list includes 5

application icons

41, 42, 43, 44, 45 arranged from high to low according to the heat value, and the 5 application icons respectively correspond to 5 installed applications APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, APP 5. It will be appreciated that these 5 installed applications are now the top 5 most popular applications in the user's circle of friends.

As further shown in fig. 5, the first application chart further includes a heat value of the application corresponding to each of the 5 application icons. The heat value of 5 applications of APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4 and APP5 is 1000, 900, 800, 700 and 600 in sequence, namely, the 5 applications are ranked from high to low according to the heat value.

As shown in fig. 5, the first application ranking list further includes interaction options of 5 applications, namely APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, and APP 5: a "share" option, a "like" option, and a "hit list" option. If the user clicks the "share" option of an APP (for example, APP1) in the first application ranking list, the APP can be shared to the user in the address book in a form of a link, and the shared user can jump to an application store or a game center through the share link to download the APP, so that the heat value of the APP can be increased. The user may click on the "like" option of an APP (e.g., APP1) in the first application leader board, like one for increasing the heat value of the APP. The user may also click on a "hit list" option for an APP (e.g., APP1) in the first application ranking list, and hit the APP (e.g., by paying a hit list) to increase the popularity value of the APP.

Therefore, through operations such as sharing, praise and ranking, the popularity value of the application program is increased, the popularization of the application program can be accelerated, the social entertainment attribute among terminal users can be enriched, the application distribution amount of the application store and the game center can be increased, and the interaction among the users, the application store and the game center is realized.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can show the M application programs with the popularity arranged from high to low in the friend circle to the user in the form of displaying the application ranking list, so that the user can see the application programs enjoyed by everybody in the friend circle and can perform operations such as sharing, praise and ranking on the application programs, the application programs can be shared, the popularization of the application programs can be accelerated based on social attributes of acquaintances, the entertainment recommended by the application programs can be increased, and the user can conveniently find more interesting application programs.

The application program recommendation method provided by the embodiment of the invention can receive the first input of a user to the electronic equipment; responding to a first input, and displaying a first application ranking list which comprises M application icons arranged according to a first sequence; the M application icons are in one-to-one correspondence with the M application programs, the first sequence is determined according to historical behavior data of a target user on the M application programs, the target user comprises a user in an address book and one or more users in the address book of the electronic equipment, the M application programs comprise installed application programs and/or uninstalled application programs of the electronic equipment, and M is a positive integer. The embodiment of the invention can be applied to a scene how to quickly and accurately select safe and reliable popular application programs, the electronic equipment can show a plurality of application programs with high popularity to low popularity in the friend circle to the user in a form of displaying the application ranking list, so that the user can quickly distinguish the popular application programs in the friend circle, and the application programs are recommended by a plurality of users in the friend circle after being used, so that the safety coefficient of the application programs is higher. Therefore, by the scheme, the user can quickly and accurately select the safe, reliable and popular application program.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, before the step 201, the method for recommending an application program according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 203 to 206.

Step 203, the electronic device receives a second input of the user.

The second input may be an input (e.g., a click input) to a setting control, provided that the first application ranking list further includes the setting control.

And step 204, the electronic equipment responds to the second input and displays an interface of the address book.

The interface (e.g., interface 41 in fig. 6) of the address book includes a plurality of user information (e.g., 42, 43, 44, and 45 in fig. 6), and each user information corresponds to one user.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the selected user in the interface of the address book may be a user participating in ranking of the application programs in the application ranking list.

It should be noted that the electronic device may default to all users in the contact list interface being selected.

And step 205, the electronic device receives a third input of the user on the interface of the address book.

The third input may be a click input to a selection control (e.g., 46, 47 in fig. 6), and the selection control may switch between "checked" and "unchecked".

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the user needs to adjust the selected condition of the user in the address book, the user may select a certain piece of user information in the interface of the address book (i.e., the third input), or cancel the selection of the certain piece of user information in the interface of the address book, so as to trigger the electronic device to determine which piece of user information is selected by the user.

And step 206, the electronic equipment responds to the third input, and determines the one or more users according to the user information selected by the third input.

In the embodiment of the invention, the user of the electronic equipment can select the user in the friend circle as the participating user of the first application ranking list.

In addition, operations such as "share", "like", "hit" and "hit" of the selected user may all have an impact on the ranking of the applications in the first application ranking list.

In the embodiment of the invention, a user can maintain the user information of the friend circle according to the actual use requirement, for example, some friends need to be determined as users (also called friends) in the first application ranking list, and participate in ranking of application programs in the first application ranking list; or some friends need not be listed as friends in the first application ranking list and do not participate in the ranking of the application programs in the first application ranking list. In this way, the user can select the leaderboards with influence on the application ranking lists according to the requirements.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the M application programs include M application programs installed in the electronic device. After the step 202, the application program recommending method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 207 to 210.

Step 207, the electronic device receives a fourth input of the user to the first application icon of the M application icons.

Wherein the first application icon corresponds to a first application program.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the fourth input may be a long-press input (i.e., an input with a press duration longer than a preset duration) on the first application icon, or any other input meeting an actual use requirement.

And step 208, the electronic equipment responds to the fourth input and displays the N controls.

Wherein the N controls may include at least one of: sharing control, praise control and ranking control, wherein N is a positive integer.

It should be noted that the sharing control, the approval control, and the ranking control are only exemplary lists, and it is understood that the N controls may further include any other possible controls, which may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

And step 209, the electronic device receives a fifth input of the user to a target control in the N controls.

For example, the target control may be a sharing control, or may be a like control, or may be a ranking control.

Step 210, the electronic device, in response to the fifth input, executes an operation corresponding to the target control, and increases the heat value of the first application by the first heat value or decreases by the second heat value.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if a user needs to perform some operations (for example, sharing, liking, ranking, etc.) on an application installed on an electronic device, as shown in fig. 7 (a), the user may perform long-press input on an application icon corresponding to the application (for example, APP1) to trigger the electronic device to display a "sharing" option, a "liking" option, and a "ranking" option. As shown in fig. 7 (b), the electronic device displays the "share" option 48, the "like" option 49, and the "hit list" option 50 of the APP 1. For the description of the "share" option 48, the "like" option 49, and the "hit list" option 50, reference may be made to the above detailed description of the "share" option, the "like" option, and the "hit list" option, and details thereof are not repeated here.

For the "share" option, if the user shares once for a certain APP, the heat value of the APP is increased by a preset value, for example, the preset value is 1, and the increase of 1 is recorded as + 1. Alternatively, a user can only share one APP once a day. And if the shared user downloads the corresponding APP, the heat value of the APP is plus 1.

For the "like" option, if the APP is like once, then the APP's hot value + 1. It may be defined that a user can approve only once.

For the option of "putting a list", every time when putting a list, the popularity value of the APP is increased by the first popularity value, and the list can be put multiple times a day, and one or more virtual coins are consumed each time. And the user can also anonymously play a list.

The first heat value may be a preset value, for example, the first heat value may be 1, or 5, or 10, and may be determined according to an actual use requirement.

For example, for the "hit list" case, taking the first heat value as 1 as an example, the heat value is +1 for each increase of the first heat value.

Of course, the user can also step on the list, and the heat value of the APP is reduced by the second heat value every time the user steps on the list.

The second heat value may be a preset value, for example, 1, or 5, or 10, and may be determined according to an actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, taking the second heat value as 1, the heat value is-1 when the second heat value is decreased for the "step list" case.

The first heat value and the second heat value may be the same or different, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

Therefore, the method and the device can accelerate the propagation of the application program in a list hitting or stepping mode, based on social sharing of acquaintances of users, the application program which is considered to be good by the users can be well propagated in a sharing mode, a praise mode, a list hitting mode and the like, and meanwhile interaction of each user in a friend circle in the recommendation process of the application program can be enhanced. By the scheme, the user can quickly and accurately select the safe, reliable and popular application program.

Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the step 210, the method for recommending an application program provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 211 to 212.

Step 211, determining application sorting information according to the heat value of the first application program, where the application sorting information is information indicating that the M application programs are arranged according to a second order.

It is understood that the application ranking information is new ranking information after the heat value of the first application program is changed.

Optionally, the application sequencing information may be determined by the electronic device itself, or the relevant information may be sent to the server first, and then sent to the electronic device after being determined by the server. This step can be realized, for example, by steps 211a and 211b described below.

Step 211a, the electronic device sends a first instruction to the server.

Wherein the first instruction is to instruct the heat value of the first application to increase the first heat value or decrease the second heat value.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the server may determine the application ranking information according to the heat value of the first application program.

For example, after the first application increases the first heat value, the electronic device may send the increased heat value of the first application to the server. Accordingly, the server may obtain the increased heat value of the first application. Of course, the server may obtain the popularity values of the application programs of all the friends in the friend circle of the user, and rank the application programs according to the popularity values from high to low to obtain the application ranking information.

And step 211b, the electronic device receives the application sequencing information sent by the server.

Wherein the application ordering information may be used to indicate that the M applications are arranged in the second order. The second order is different from the first order.

The application ranking information is determined by the server according to historical behavior data of the target user on the M application programs, the historical behavior data includes the first heat value, and of course, the historical behavior data also includes heat values of application programs of all leaderships in the friend circle of the user. That is, the second order is determined by the server based on the historical behavior data of the target user for the M applications.
