The application program can be referred to as an application. In the Android operating system, an application program includes at least one program component. The program component is classified into four groups: an activity component, a service component, a content provider component, and a broadcast receiver component.

The activity component is a component configured to interact with a user in the Android application program and provide a visual user interface for the Android application program. An Android application program can include from scratch to many components.

The service component is a component running in the background and does not provide the visual user interface in the Android application program. An Android application program can include from scratch to many service components.

The content provider component is a component configured to provide data (such as a ringtone, a wallpaper, a notebook,

addresses, etc.) for other applications or other components in the current application in the Android application program. The content provider component can package data in various formats and provide the data in a standard format to other applications or components to use.

The transmitting receiver component is a component configured to receive and respond to a transmission of a message by the operating system, which can receive a message of interest (or a predetermined message of a certain type) and then process or transmit the message to other components in the current application.

The Intent message is a message configured to implement communication between program components, where the program components can be different components in the same application or different components in different applications. The Intent message is configured to describe an action of an operation, data involved in the action, and attachments in the application program. The Android operating system is configured to find a matching program component according to the Intent message and pass the Intent message to the called program component to complete a call of the component.

52-1112-15

INSTITUTO MEXICANO DE LA PIOEIEDAD INDUSTRIAL program. The Intent message is classified into two groups: an explicit Intent message and an implicit Intent message.

The explicit Intent message is an Intent message that points to a name of an object program component explicitly. For example, program component A needs to send an Intent message to call 18688888888, if program component A expects program component B to respond to the Intent message, program component A determines program component B as program component object in message Intent. After receiving the Intent message, the Android operating system delivers the Intent message to Program Component B for processing.

The implicit Intent message is an Intent message that does not point to the name of the object program component explicitly. For example, program component A needs to send the Intent message to call 18688888888, if program component A does not know which program component will respond to the Intent message, program component A cannot determine the object program component in the Intent message . After receiving the Intent message, the Android operating system looks for a pre-registered type of the Intent message monitored by each program component. If program component B is found to monitor an Intent message about a

phone call, the Android operating system delivers the Intent message to program component B for processing. Or the Android operating system transmits the Intent message and the transmitting receiver component that is interested in the Intent message about the phone call receives and processes the Intent message.

Fig. 1 is the flow chart showing a method for executing an application program according to an example embodiment, and the mode is described by an application example of the method for executing the application program on a mobile terminal. The method to run the application program includes the following steps.

In step S102, a trigger signal configured to instruct the execution of a second application program is received in a first executing application program.

In step S104, an installation package of the second application program is loaded and analyzed by the first application program to obtain a program component of the second application program.

In step S106, the program component of the second application program is executed in a run-time environment provided by the first application program.

The first application program 220 then provides an isolated environment for the second program application 240. The sandbox provides a necessary context environment to execute the program component of the second application program 240 and the second application program 240 can be executed by the sandbox.

In a process of executing the second application program 240, the first application program 220 may execute the program component in the second application program 240 in accordance with an execution logic of the second application program 240. For example, when the second application program 240 is started, the first application program 220 executes a predetermined execution component of the second application program 240, in which the default execution component is typically an activity component corresponding to an interface main of the second application program 240. Also, for example, if a certain button is pressed on an interactive user interface of the second application program 240, the first application program 220 executes another activity component of the second program.

In step S301, a trigger signal configured to instruct the execution of a second application program is received in a first executing application program.

The first application program is an application program installed and running on the mobile terminal. The first application program can be configured as a comprehensive application program, a game application program, an administrative application program, a system application program, and so on.

The first application program can access an installation package of the second application program on the mobile terminal. It is not necessary to install the second application program on the mobile terminal, that is, the second application program can run in a runtime environment provided by the first application program.

The mobile terminal receives the activation signal configured to instruct the execution of the second application program in the first application program in

For example, in a user interface of the first application program, an icon of the second application program may be displayed. If the icon of the second application program is clicked by a click signal received on the touch screen, the mobile terminal receives the activation signal configured to instruct the execution of the second application program.

In step S302, an installation package of the second application program is loaded and analyzed by the first application program to obtain a configuration file of the second application program.

The configuration file is a description file in the installation package of every second application program and is typically an AndroidManifest.xml file in a root directory of the installation package of the second application program. The configuration file can provide related application information in the second application program.

The mobile terminal loads the installation package of the second application program through the first application program, parses the installation package of the second application program and obtains the file from

ΙΝΓΤΤΠΓΤΟ MEXICANO, DE IA OQUEDAD configuration of the second ^ vms application program: files analyzed first. In step S303, at least one program component is obtained in the second application program by the first application program according to the configuration file.

The configuration file declares all the program components included in the second application program. The program component includes at least one of the following components: an activity component, a content provider component, or a streaming receiver component.

The mobile terminal parses the configuration file by the first application program to obtain the program component (s) of the second application program.

In step S304, an Intent message type is registered in an operating system by the first application program according to the configuration file, in which the Intent message is monitored by each program component in the second application program.

The configuration file can also declare the type of message Intent monitored by each of the program components in the second program of

app. For example, the component of *¹ ^ g * ar ^> monitors an Intent message of type A and service component B monitors an Intent message of type B.

The mobile terminal registers the Intent message type in the operating system by the first application program according to the configuration file, in which the Intent message is monitored by each program component in the second application program.

It is worth mentioning that, when the first application program registers the type of the Intent message monitored by the program component in the second application program, a receiver registered in the Android operating system is the program component in the first application program, in place of the program component in the second application program. For example, if the activity component A in the second application program monitors the Intent message of type A, the first application program registers the Intent message of type A in the Android operating system, but the receiver of the Intent registered message of type A is the program component in the first application program.

In step S305, the program component of the second application program is executed in a run-time environment provided by the first application program.

app.

The mobile terminal executes the program component of the second application program in the runtime environment provided by the first application program. It is not necessary to run all the program components in the second application program at the same time, but only a part of all the program components need to run according to the requirements. Step S305 includes the following substeps, as shown in Fig. 4.

In step S305a, the mobile terminal determines by the first application program the program component of the second application program to be executed.

In step S305b, the mobile terminal starts by the first application program a sandbox program component corresponding to the program component.

In step S305c, the mobile terminal executes the program component in a runtime context provided by the sandbox program component in the first application program.

For step S305a, there are mainly two conditions.

First condition: when the second application program starts, the mobile terminal receives by means of

the first application program a predetermined execution component fed back by the second application program and determines the predetermined execution component as the program component to be executed.

The default execution component is usually an activity component corresponding to the main interface of the second application program. When the second application program starts, the second application program feeds back a request to the first application program according to its own execution logic, in which the request indicates the default execution component, and then the first application program determines the default execution component as the program component of the second application program to run currently.

Second condition: the mobile terminal receives the Intent message transmitted from the operating system by the first application program, in which the Intent message is consistent with the registered type of the Intent message. If the program component configured to monitor the Intent message is not started in the second application program, the program component configured to monitor the Intent message is determined as the program component to run.

In a running process of the second program

FROM THE ΠΙΟΡ1 IDAD, of application, it is possible that the gramá' component in the second application program, -loo prugrantas tfg system application in the Android operating system and the program components in other application programs send the Intent message to the system Android operating. If the Intent message is the Intent message monitored by the program component in the second application program, that is, the Intent message is consistent with the registered type of Intent message in step S304, the Android operating system sends the Intent message to the first application program. At this point, if the program component configured to monitor the Intent message in the second application program is not started, the first application program determines the program component configured to monitor the Intent message in the second application program as the component program to run.

For step S305b, if it is necessary to execute any program component in the second application program, the mobile terminal first starts a corresponding sandbox program in the first application program, wherein the sandbox program component is configured to provide the necessary run-time context for the program component of the second application program.

For example, if necessary ^MaActivity component A in the second application program, Sandbox activity component A is started in the first application program. Also, for example, if service component B needs to be run in the second application program, sandbox service component B is started in the first application program. Also, for example, if it is necessary to execute the broadcast component C in the second application program, the sandbox broadcast receiver component C is started in the first application program.

In other words, when the program component is executed in the second application program, there is a corresponding sandbox program in the first application program.

Step S305c includes the following substeps.

1. The mobile terminal calls the program component in the second application program through the sandbox program component in the first application program using a mirroring mechanism.

The mirroring mechanism is a mechanism in the field of Java programming. Using the mirroring mechanism, a specified class of program components can be called in the second program of

In step S306, the Intent message is received and sent to the second application program by the first application program.

The mobile terminal receives and / or sends the Intent message for the second application program through the first application program.

A reception process: the mobile terminal receives the Intent message transmitted from the Android operating system by the first application program, in which the Intent message is consistent with the registered type of the Intent message, and transmits the Intent message to the program component in the second application program for processing, if a program component configured to monitor the Intent message has been started in the second application program.

For example, the first application program receives the Intent message transmitted from the Android operating system. If the message Intent is the message
