Abstract

An application distribution method and a device are provided in the technical field of Internet. The method includes that: a card type for a card to be displayed is acquired; card real-time information corresponding to the card type is acquired according to the card type; and the card in a predetermined display format is displayed on a predetermined desktop based on the card real-time information. The card has part of functions of an application program corresponding to the card, and is loaded on the predetermined desktop to directly receive control of a user, and the card has a skipping entry to an intermediate page corresponding to the card.

Claims

1. A method for distributing application cards, comprising:

acquiring a card type for a card to be displayed, wherein the card responds to an application program;

acquiring card real-time information corresponding to the card type according to the card type; and

displaying the card in a predetermined display format on a predetermined desktop based on the card real-time information, wherein the card being displayed comprises an entry skipping to an intermediate page corresponding to the card;

determining whether to download the application program based on the intermediate page; and

wherein the card has part of functions of the application program, and is loaded on the predetermined desktop to directly receive control of a user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein acquiring the card real-time information corresponding to the card type according to the card type comprises:

sending the card type to a specified server, wherein the specified server returns the card real-time information by interaction with an application server corresponding to the card type; and

receiving the card real-time information.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined display format comprises:

a title part, a content part, and a function part, wherein the title part is configured to display the card type, the content part is configured to display the card real-time information, and the function part is configured to provide a specified function of the card.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

when the entry skipping to the intermediate page is triggered, loading and displaying the intermediate page, and

wherein the intermediate page is a webpage that is provided by an application server of the card.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein acquiring the card type to be displayed comprises:

acquiring a card type list, the card type list comprising at least one interested card type set by the user; and

acquiring the card type to be displayed from the card type list.

6. An application distribution device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory configured to store instructions executable for the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to;

acquire a card type for a card to be displayed, wherein the card responds to an application program;

acquire card real-time information corresponding to the card type according to the card type; and

display the card in a predetermined display format on a predetermined desktop based on the card real-time information, wherein the card being displayed comprises an entry skipping to an intermediate page corresponding to the card;

determining whether to download the application program based on the intermediate page; and

wherein the card has part of functions of the application program, and is loaded on the predetermined desktop to directly receive control of a user.

7. The application distribution device of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to:

send the card type to a specified server, wherein the specified server returns the card real-time information by interaction with an application server corresponding to the card type; and

receive the card real-time information.

8. The application distribution device of claim 6, wherein the predetermined display format comprises:

a title part, a content part and a function part, wherein the title part is used to display the card type, the content part is used to display the card real-time information, and the function part is used to provide a specified function of the card.

9. The application distribution device of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to:

load and display the intermediate page, when the entry skipping to the intermediate page is triggered, and

wherein the intermediate page is a webpage that is provided by an application server of the card.

10. The application distribution device of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire a card type list, the card type list comprising at least one interested card type set by the user; and

acquire the card type to be displayed from the card type list.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein instructions are stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and the instructions are executed by a processor to implement acts comprising:

acquiring a card type for a card to be displayed, wherein the card responds to an application program;

acquiring card real-time information corresponding to the card type according to the card type; and

displaying the card in a predetermined display format on a predetermined desktop based on the card real-time information, wherein the card being displayed comprises an entry skipping to an intermediate page corresponding to the card;

determining whether to download the application program based on the intermediate page; and

wherein the card has part of functions of the application program, and is loaded on the predetermined desktop to directly receive control of a user.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein acquiring the card real-time information corresponding to the card type according to the card type comprises:

sending the card type to a specified server, wherein the specified server returns the card real-time information by interaction with an application server corresponding to the card type; and

receiving the card real-time information.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11,

wherein the predetermined display format comprises:

a title part, a content part, and a function part; and

wherein the title part is configured to display the card type, the content part is configured to display the card real-time information, and the function part is configured to provide a specified function of the card.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the acts further comprise:

when the entry skipping to the intermediate page is triggered, loading and displaying the intermediate page, and

wherein the intermediate page is a webpage that is provided by an application server of the card.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein acquiring the card type to be displayed comprises:

acquiring a card type list, the card type list comprising at least one interested card type set by the user; and

acquiring the card type to be displayed from the card type list.
