Method, device and equipment for controlling plug-in installation

Abstract

The invention provides a method, device and equipment for controlling plug-in installation. The method comprises the following steps of: acquiring a plug-in to be installed by the current operating application program; acquiring an installation instruction that a user determines to install the plug-in; and automatically controlling the application program to install the plug-in according to the installation instruction. With the scheme of the invention, the automatic installation of the plug-in for the application program can be realized, user operations can be simplified, and the success rate of plug-in installation is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer applications, in particular to a control method, device and equipment for plug-in installation. Background technique [0002] At present, many application software provide plug-in interfaces for installing some extension plug-ins in order to improve their own functions or upgrade corresponding functions, so as to enhance their own functions. Different application software has different structures, and different application programs have different plug-in installation methods. The process of installing plug-ins for various application software is complex and diverse; The operating ability of computer software also has certain requirements. For example, when installing a plug-in for a browser, you may use the method of dragging the plug-in file to the browser window to complete the installation of the browser plug-in; In this case, the user needs to copy the plug-in file to the specified directory to realiz...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Due to the different design of application software, there are different ways to install plug-ins for different application software. Therefore, when installing plug-ins in most application software, they are installed manually. Users need to spend time learning how to obtain the installation path, and install the Such as multiple application software, you need to learn how to install plug-ins for each application software, and this plug-in installation method only uses this skill once

In addition, during the process of installing the plug-in, the user needs to operate between multi-level pages to realize the plug-in installation. The human-computer interaction process is complicated, and there are certain requirements for the user's own technical ability. Users often need to spend a lot of time to solve the problem of plug-in installation.

At the same time, the user also needs to spend time to know whether the application software has already installed the plug-in, and whether the plug-in to be installed is older than the installed plug-in version. Usually, the user is not prompted that the plug-in has already been installed during the installation process. , or the plug-in version is older than the installed plug-in, or the plug-in cannot be installed into the application at all

[0004] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor found at least the following problems in the prior art: it is impossible to conveniently and effectively determine whether an application program needs a plug-in, and automatically install the plug-in for the application software, and the process of manually installing the plug-in for the application software is complicated , cumbersome operation, low installation success rate
