Patch file processing method and device

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a patch file processing method and device. The method comprises the following steps of: determining a first change program file according to each program filein the application program of the current version and each program file in the application program of the first version of the reference line, and determining a second change program file according toeach program file in the application program of the current version and each program file in the application program of the second version of the reference line; Generating a datum line first versionpatch file according to the first change program file, and generating a datum line second version patch file according to the second change program file; Generating a datum line first version patch list by adopting the total patch file, and generating a datum line second version patch list by adopting the second patch file; And uploading the datum line first version patch list and the datum linesecond version patch list to a server. By applying the embodiment of the invention, a user can complete the updating of the application program without consuming more time and flow.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of the Internet, in particular to a patch file processing method and a patch file processing device. Background technique [0002] With the advent of the Internet era, the function iterations of applications such as games are becoming more and more frequent. In order to regularly release new game content, developers must update players' applications in a timely and effective manner. [0003] However, it takes a certain amount of time for major application stores to review new versions of application programs, and players need to consume a lot of time and traffic to download new versions of application programs, resulting in poor user experience. In response to this problem, developers need to implement a less costly update method, allowing players to experience the updated content of the application without re-downloading the application. [0004] One update method is to package the updated overall content ...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The first update method, although it can generate a patch file of the latest content of the application, it contains all the resources and script files of the current version, which is very bulky; the user needs to download the content of the entire package body, which consumes a lot of time and effort. traffic; in addition, it also takes a long time to compare and filter the changed content in the application

[0007] The second update method, although there is no problem with the first update method above, but if a file has been modified in multiple patch versions, players need to download the file repeatedly, resulting in a doubled increase in the size of the patch file , degrading the player's user experience
