Abstract

Provided are a transmission method, terminal and system for application software. In the method, a first terminal creates a wireless hotspot; a second terminal joins a wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot when joining request information sent by the second terminal is received; and interaction of application software with the second terminal is performed based on the wireless network. By the technical solution, the application software may be shared among these terminals, and the users do not have to download the application software from the network so as to save the data consumption of the users. Moreover, downloaded application software may also be shared among these terminals through application store clients on the terminals, so as to improve enthusiasm of the user in searching for and downloading the application software and facilitate popularization of the application store clients as well as the application software thereof.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A transmission method for application software, comprising:
creating, by a first terminal, a wireless hotspot;
enabling a second terminal to join a wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot when joining request information sent by the second terminal is received;
wherein enabling the second terminal to join the wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot when the joining request information sent by the second terminal is received comprises:
verifying the joining request information sent by the second terminal;
enabling the second terminal to join the wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot when the joining request information is verified successfully; and
acquiring user information of the second terminal through the wireless network; and

performing interaction of application software with the second terminal based on the wireless network;
wherein performing the interaction of application software with the second terminal based on the wireless network comprises:
selecting application software needing to be transmitted, sending first reception request information to the second terminal, and sending the selected application software to the second terminal through the wireless network when first confirmation information sent by the second terminal is received; or
receiving second reception request information sent by the second terminal, sending second confirmation information to the second terminal according to the second reception request information, and receiving the application software selected and sent by the second terminal.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
deleting the second terminal from the wireless network.

3. A transmission terminal for application software, comprising:
a creating component, configured to create a wireless hotspot;
a receiving and joining enablement component, configured to enable a second terminal to join a wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot when joining request information sent by the second terminal is received;
wherein the receiving and joining enablement component comprises:
a verification element, configured to verify the joining request information sent by the second terminal;
a joining element, configured to enable the second terminal to join the wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot when the joining request information is verified successfully; and
an acquisition element, configured to acquire user information of the second terminal through the wireless network; and

an interaction component, configured to perform interaction of application software with the second terminal based on the wireless network;
wherein the interaction component is configured to:
select application software needing to be transmitted, send first reception request information to the second terminal, and send the selected application software to the second terminal through the wireless network when first confirmation information sent by the second terminal is received; or
receive second reception request information sent by the second terminal, send second confirmation information to the second terminal according to the second reception request information, and receive the application software selected and sent by the second terminal.

4. The terminal as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising:
a deletion component, configured to delete the second terminal from the wireless network.

5. A transmission system for application software, comprising:
a first terminal and one or more second terminals, wherein:
the first terminal is configured to create a wireless hotspot, enable the one or more second terminals to join a wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot when joining request information sent by the one or more second terminals is received, and perform interaction of application software with the one or more second terminals based on the wireless network; and
the one or more second terminals are configured to search for the wireless hotspot created by the first terminal, send the joining request information to the first terminal when the wireless hotspot created by the first terminal is found, and perform interaction of application software with the first terminal based on the wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot;
wherein the process of the first terminal enabling the one or more second terminals to join a wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot when joining request information sent by the one or more second terminals is received comprises:
verifying the joining request information sent by the second terminal;
enabling the second terminal to join the wireless network constructed by the wireless hotspot when the joining request information is verified successfully; and
acquiring user information of the second terminal through the wireless network; and

wherein the process of the first terminal performing interaction of application software with the one or more second terminals based on the wireless network comprises:
selecting application software needing to be transmitted, sending first reception request information to the second terminal, and sending the selected application software to the second terminal through the wireless network when first confirmation information sent by the second terminal is received; or
receiving second reception request information sent by the second terminal, sending second confirmation information to the second terminal according to the second reception request information, and receiving the application software selected and sent by the second terminal.

6. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the one or more second terminals are further configured to:
perform interaction of application software with each other based on the wireless network.
