Abstract

A method for processing a resource for use in a client computer, includes: sending, to a server, a request for processing the resource based on a user instruction, the request for processing the resource including an identification (ID) of the resource and a processing manner of the resource; receiving, from the server, a storage address of the resource and a first instruction, the first instruction including an ID of an interface of a mobile terminal application, and being configured to instruct a mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resource; and downloading the resource from the storage address of the resource, and sending the downloaded resource and the first instruction to the mobile terminal, to enable the mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resource.

Claims

1. A method for processing a resource for use in a client computer, comprising the following steps performed by the client computer:

sending, to a server, a request for processing the resource based on a user instruction, the request for processing the resource including an identification (ID) of the resource and a processing manner of the resource;

receiving, from the server, a storage address of the resource and a first instruction, the first instruction including an ID of an interface of a mobile terminal application, and being configured to instruct a mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resource, wherein the ID of the interface of the mobile terminal application is based on a preset relationship between IDs of interfaces of mobile terminal applications and processing manners of resources;

detecting whether the mobile terminal application is installed on the mobile terminal;

if it is detected that the mobile terminal application is installed on the mobile terminal, downloading the resource from the storage address of the resource, and sending the downloaded resource and the first instruction to the mobile terminal, wherein the downloaded resource and the first instruction configure the mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resource;

receiving a second instruction sent from the server, the second instruction including the ID of the interface of the mobile terminal application and the ID of the resource, and being configured to instruct the mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to return a processing result of the resource; and

sending the second instruction to the mobile terminal, and sending the processing result of the resource returned from the mobile terminal to the server.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the detecting whether the mobile terminal application is installed on the mobile terminal comprises:

scanning IDs of all mobile terminal applications installed in the mobile terminal;

detecting whether the mobile terminal application is installed in the mobile terminal, based on an ID of the mobile terminal application sent from the server.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving of the first instruction comprises:

receiving the first instruction, the first instruction including an ID of an application program interface (API) of the mobile terminal application.

4. A method for processing a resource for use in a mobile terminal, comprising the following steps performed by the mobile terminal:

receiving, from a client computer, the resource and a first instruction, the first instruction including an identification (ID) of an interface of a mobile terminal application, wherein the mobile terminal application is installed on the mobile terminal, and the first instruction is configured to instruct the mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resource, and wherein the ID of the interface of the mobile terminal application is based on a preset relationship between IDs of interfaces of mobile terminal applications and processing manners of resources;

calling the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resource by following the first instruction;

receiving, from the client computer, a second instruction, the second instruction including the ID of the interface of the mobile terminal application and an ID of the resource, and being configured to instruct the mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to return a processing result of the resource; and

calling the interface of the mobile terminal application to return the processing result of the resource, and sending the processing result of the resource to the client computer by following the second instruction.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the receiving of the first instruction comprises:

receiving the first instruction, the first instruction including an ID of an application program interface (API) of the mobile terminal application.

6. A client computer, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to;

send, to a server, a request for processing a resource based on a user instruction, the request for processing the resource including an identification (ID) of the resource and a processing manner of the resource;

receive, from the server, a storage address of the resource and a first instruction, the first instruction including an ID of an interface of a mobile terminal application, and being configured to instruct a mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resource, wherein the ID of the interface of the mobile terminal application is based on a preset relationship between IDs of interfaces of mobile terminal applications and processing manners of resources;

detect whether the mobile terminal application is installed on the mobile terminal;

if it is detected that the mobile terminal application is installed on the mobile terminal, download the resource from the storage address of the resource, and send the downloaded resource and the first instruction to the mobile terminal, wherein the downloaded resource and the first instruction configure the mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resources;

receive a second instruction sent from the server, the second instruction including the ID of the interface of the mobile terminal application and the ID of the resource, and being configured to instruct the mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to return a processing result of the resource; and

send the second instruction to the mobile terminal, and send the processing result of the resource returned from the mobile terminal to the server.

7. The client computer of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to:

scan IDs of all mobile terminal applications installed in the mobile terminal;

detect whether the mobile terminal application is installed in the mobile terminal, based on an ID of the mobile terminal application sent from the server.

8. The client computer of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive the first instruction, the first instruction including an ID of an application program interface (API) of the mobile terminal application.

9. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to;

receive, from a client computer, a resource and a first instruction, the first instruction including an identification (ID) of an interface of a mobile terminal application, wherein the mobile terminal application is installed on the mobile terminal, and is configured to instruct the mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resource, wherein the ID of the interface of the mobile terminal application is based on a preset relationship between IDs of interfaces of mobile terminal applications and processing manners of resources;

call the interface of the mobile terminal application to process the resource by following the first instruction;

receive, from the client computer, a second instruction, the second instruction including the ID of the interface of the mobile terminal application and an ID of the resource, and being configured to instruct the mobile terminal to call the interface of the mobile terminal application to return a processing result of the resource; and

call the interface of the mobile terminal application to return the processing result of the resource, and send the processing result of the resource to the client computer by following the second instruction.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:
