Method and device for processing patch files

Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method and device for processing patch files, the method comprising: determining a first change program according to each program file in the current version of the application program and each program file in the baseline-version application program file, according to each program file in the current version application program and each program file in the baseline version 2 application program to determine a second change program file; generate a baseline version 1 patch file according to the first change program file, according to The second change program file generates a baseline two version patch file; adopts the total patch file to generate a baseline one version patch list, adopts the second patch file to generate a baseline two version patch list; The version patch list and the baseline 2 version patch list are uploaded to the server. By applying the embodiment of the present invention, the user can update the application program without consuming much time and traffic.

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
