In step 302, a reply message is sent back to the terminal, where the reply message is used to indicate whether the target application is allowed to start.
In summary, in the method for controlling application program start provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, request start information sent by a terminal is received, where the request start information is used to request a predetermined contact to start a target application program in a prohibited time period in which the target application program is prohibited from being started; and sending reply information to the terminal, wherein the reply information is used for indicating whether the target application program is allowed to be started or not. The method and the device can control the user to forbid using the application program in the preset time period, and the user can control the opening of the application program only through the preset contact person in the forbidden time period, so that the problem that the user cannot control the using time of the terminal to be too long is solved, and the effect of reasonably arranging the using time of the terminal is achieved.
Fig. 4A is a flowchart illustrating another method for controlling application startup according to another exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 4A, this embodiment is described by taking as an example that the method for controlling application startup is applied to the implementation environment shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 4A, the method may include the following steps:
in step 401, a launch request to launch a target application is received.
For example, receiving a launch request for launching the target application may be receiving a launch request generated by a user triggered by clicking an icon of the target application.
In step 402, in response to the start request, it is determined whether the current time belongs to a prohibited period in which the start of the target application is prohibited.
When it is determined that the current time is not the prohibited period, performing step 403; when it is determined that the current time is the prohibited period, step 404 is performed.
In addition, regarding the setting of the prohibition period, for example, a corresponding prohibition period may be set in the system setting for each application program, and the prohibition period of each application program may be the same or different. Each application is prohibited from starting during a prohibition period of the application. For example, the prohibited time periods of all the applications can be uniformly set to 22:30-06:00, or can be individually set for different users, or can be set for different application types, for example, the prohibited time periods of the video application "AA video" can be set to 22:30-06:00, so that the situation that the user has a rest due to watching the video late at night can be avoided, the prohibited time periods of the game a can be set to 8:00-18:00 on monday through friday and 23:00-8:00 on saturday, and the start of the game a is prohibited in the time periods, so that the user cannot start the game a during the working time of the working day and the work is avoided being influenced, and the game a cannot be started at 23:00-8:00 on the weekend, so that the user is prevented from sinking in the game and the rest is influenced.
Optionally, in order to prevent the user from being unable to modify the setting after the setting of the prohibited time period is completed, a verification process may be added to the setting page entering the prohibited time period, where the verification process includes, but is not limited to, fingerprint identification verification, voice identification verification, password verification, short message verification code identification, and the like.
Illustratively, fig. 4B is a flowchart of a verification method of an entry setting page shown in the exemplary embodiment of fig. 4A, and referring to fig. 4B, the method may include:
in step 4021, input authentication information is received, the authentication information being used to enter a settings page.
For example, fingerprints of a predetermined contact can be pre-entered as a verified certificate, when a user wants to set or change a prohibited time period of any application program, fingerprint identification needs to be performed by the predetermined contact, and after the identification is passed, a setting page of the prohibited time period can be accessed for relevant setting.
Therefore, the above-mentioned receiving of the input authentication information may be receiving of a fingerprint acquired by the user by placing a finger on the fingerprint acquisition module.
In step 4022, authentication verification is performed according to the verification information.
The authentication verification process may be, for example: matching the fingerprint received in the step 4021 with a fingerprint input in advance, and performing the steps 4023 to 4025 through verification when the received fingerprint is successfully matched with the fingerprint input in advance; otherwise, the verification fails and the access to the setting page is refused.
In step 4023, the setup page is entered.
In step 4024, receiving, on the setting page, time period setting information of the target application, the time period setting information being used to set the prohibited time period for the target application program.
Wherein, the period setting information of the target application can be h1h1:m1m1～h2h2:m2m2For example 22:30-06:00, further, different periods on different days may be additionally set, for example, different prohibited periods may be set on weekdays and weekends, respectively, for the same application.
In step 4025, the period indicated by the period setting information is set as the prohibited period.
In step 403, the target application is prohibited from launching.
For example, while the target application program is prohibited from starting, a prompt message that the target application program cannot be started in the current time period can be displayed to the user.
In step 404, request start information is sent to a terminal of a predetermined contact person, where the request start information is used to request the predetermined contact person to start the target application program.
For example, the contact information of the predetermined contact is pre-stored in the terminal, where the contact information may be a phone number, or an ID of other communication software, such as an account of an instant messaging application, and the like, and in this embodiment, taking the phone number as an example, the request start information may be a Short Message Service (SMS), and the request start information may include an identifier of a target application requested to be started, where the identifier of the target application may be a name of the target application.
In step 405, receiving reply information returned by the terminal of the predetermined contact, where the reply information is used to indicate whether the target application is allowed to start.
After receiving the request start information sent by the request terminal, the terminal of the contact may reply with information of the same type as the request start information, for example, if the received request start information is a short message, the terminal replies with the short message, where the reply information may include:
a start permission instruction for indicating that the target application is permitted to start, and a run permission period during which the target application is permitted to run; or,
and a start prohibition instruction for indicating prohibition of starting the target application program.
The start permitting instruction and the start prohibiting instruction both carry an identifier of the target application program, for example, a name of the target application program, and the name of the target application program and the allowable running period may be written in a preset format, for example:
(1) agree to start XXX with period of use h1h1:m1m1～h2h2:m2m2；
(2) Activation XXX is disabled.
Where XXX is the name of the target application.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that after clicking the reply request start message, the predetermined contact person may automatically pop up an information template edited in advance according to the format, and the predetermined contact person edits the reply message on the template according to actual needs, so as to obtain the edited reply message in the preset format.
When the reply message is the start prohibition instruction, performing step 403; when the reply message is the start permission instruction, step 406 is performed.
In step 406, the target application is marked as being allowed to launch.
In step 407, a prompt is output to the user to allow the target application to launch.
For example, the prompt message for allowing the target application program to start may be displayed to the user by a reply message sent by a predetermined contact, or may be specifically displayed to allow the target application program to start, for example, a pop-up prompt message for allowing the target application program to start is provided to the user.
In step 408, a launch request to launch the target application is received.
Illustratively, after receiving again the start request triggered by the user by clicking the icon table of the target application, the terminal determines to allow the target application program to start by identifying the start-allowed flag set in step 406, thereby proceeding to step 409.
In step 409, the target application is launched.
Optionally, when the user knows that the current time belongs to the prohibited time period, the user may send a request directly to the predetermined contact, and then steps 404 to 409 may be performed directly.
Optionally, fig. 4C is a flowchart illustrating another method for controlling application program launching according to another exemplary embodiment, where the method further includes:
in step 410, it is detected whether the current time exceeds the allowed operating period.
For example, since the operation permission period in the reply message received in step 405 may be less than the entire prohibition period, and when the operation permission period is exceeded, the prohibition of the target application starting should be resumed, the following steps may be performed.
In step 411, when it is detected whether the current time exceeds the operation permitted period, it is determined whether the current time belongs to the prohibited period.
In step 412, when the current time exceeds the allowed operation period and the current time belongs to the prohibited period, the target application is marked as prohibited from starting.
In step 413, a launch request to launch the target application is received.
Illustratively, after receiving again the start request triggered by the user by clicking the icon table of the target application, the terminal determines to prohibit the start of the target application program by identifying the start prohibition flag set in step 412, thereby proceeding to step 414.
In step 414, the target application is denied launching in response to the launch request.
Optionally, fig. 4D is a flowchart illustrating another method for controlling application startup according to another exemplary embodiment, and referring to fig. 4D, the method further includes:
in step 415, when the current time belongs to the permission period for permitting the target application program to start, prohibition indication information sent by the terminal of the predetermined contact person is received, wherein the prohibition indication information is used for indicating that the target application program is prohibited from starting.
That is, it can be understood that even if the current time belongs to the permitted period in which the target application is permitted to be started, the predetermined contact may actively transmit the prohibition indication information to prohibit the user from using the target application program.
In step 416, in response to the prohibition indication information, the target application is marked as prohibited from starting.
At step 417, a launch request to launch the target application is received.
Illustratively, after receiving again the start request triggered by the user by clicking the icon table of the target application, the terminal determines to prohibit the start of the target application program by recognizing the start prohibition flag set in step 416, thereby proceeding to step 418.
At step 418, the target application is denied launch in response to the launch request.
In summary, in the method for controlling application program start provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, request start information sent by a terminal is received, where the request start information is used to request a predetermined contact to start a target application program in a prohibited time period in which the target application program is prohibited from being started; and sending reply information to the terminal, wherein the reply information is used for indicating whether the target application program is allowed to be started or not. The method and the device can control the user to forbid using the application program in the preset time period, and the user can control the opening of the application program only through the preset contact person in the forbidden time period, so that the problem that the user cannot control the using time of the terminal to be too long is solved, and the effect of reasonably arranging the using time of the terminal is achieved.
