Abstract

A method is performed at an application platform running at a computer server for logging in to an application (App) by an end user, the method comprising: receiving a login request from a server associated with the application; obtaining an App identity (ID) and a key from the login request; verifying the obtained App ID and key with predefined information associated with the application and the terminal; and when the verification succeeds, sending, to the application server, a message including first user account number information of the end user at the application platform. The application server is configured to generate second user account number information of the end user at the application according to the first user account number information and return the second user account number information to the terminal so that the end user can log into the application using the second user account number information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for logging in to an application (App) by an end user performed at an application platform running at a computer server having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs to be executed by the one or more processors, the method comprising:
receiving a login request from a server associated with the application, wherein the login request corresponds to a second login request submitted by the end user from a terminal;
obtaining an App identity (ID) and a key from the login request;
verifying the obtained App ID and key with predefined information associated with the application and the terminal; and
in accordance with a determination that the verification succeeds:
sending, to the application server, a message including first user account number information of the end user at the application platform,
wherein the application server is configured to generate a second user account number information of the end user at the application according to the first user account number information and return the second user account number information to the terminal so that the end user can log into the application using the second user account number information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining content submitted by the application;
performing structured processing on the content submitted by the application;
establishing an index for the structured content.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:
obtaining a search request from the end user at the terminal, the search request including one or more search keywords;
finding a corresponding application according to the one or more search keywords;
enabling the end user at the terminal to log into the corresponding application in accordance with a determination that the corresponding application has been installed on the terminal; and
automatically installing the corresponding application on the terminal in accordance with a determination that the corresponding application has not been installed on the terminal.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the one or more search keywords include at least one of a content name, a location of a service, and a price range of the service.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the login request from the application server is the same as the second login request submitted by the end user from the terminal.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predefined information is assigned to the application and the terminal by the application platform in response to a request from the terminal to download the application from the application platform and install the application on the terminal.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first user account number information is assigned to the end user for logging into the application platform.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the second user account number information of the end user is returned to and stored at the application platform.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the second user account number information of the end user is encrypted by the key before being returned to the terminal.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the second user account number information of the end user has an expiration timestamp such that a new login request is sent to the application platform for generating new second user account number information of the end user after the expiration timestamp.

11. A computer server hosting an application platform supporting logging in to an application (App) by an end user, the computer server comprising:
one or more processors;
memory; and
one or more programs stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer server to perform a plurality of operations including:
receiving a login request from a server associated with the application, wherein the login request corresponds to a second login request submitted by the end user from a terminal;
obtaining an App identity (ID) and a key from the login request;
verifying the obtained App ID and key with predefined information associated with the application and the terminal; and
in accordance with a determination that the verification succeeds, sending, to the application server, a message including first user account number information of the end user at the application platform, wherein the application server is configured to generate second user account number information of the end user at the application according to the first user account number information and return the second user account number information to the terminal so that the end user can log into the application using the second user account number information.

12. The computer server according to claim 11 , wherein the plurality of operations further include:
obtaining content submitted by the application;
performing structured processing on the content submitted by the application;
establishing an index for the structured content.

13. The computer server according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of operations further include:
obtaining a search request from the end user at the terminal, the search request including one or more search keywords;
finding a corresponding application according to the one or more search keywords;
enabling the end user at the terminal to log into the corresponding application in accordance with a determination that the corresponding application has been installed on the terminal; and
automatically installing the corresponding application on the terminal in accordance with a determination that the corresponding application has not been installed on the terminal.

14. The computer server according to claim 13 , wherein the one or more search keywords include at least one of a content name, a location of a service, and a price range of the service.

15. The computer server according to claim 11 , wherein the predefined information is assigned to the application and the terminal by the application platform in response to a request from the terminal to download the application from the application platform and install the application on the terminal.

16. The computer server according to claim 15 , wherein the first user account number information is assigned to the end user for logging into the application platform.

17. The computer server according to claim 15 , wherein the second user account number information of the end user is returned to and stored at the application platform.

18. The computer server according to claim 17 , wherein the second user account number information of the end user is encrypted by the key before being returned to the terminal.

19. The computer server according to claim 17 , wherein the second user account number information of the end user has an expiration timestamp such that a new login request is sent to the application platform for generating new second user account number information of the end user after the expiration timestamp.

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium in connection with a computer server having one or more processors hosting an application platform, the computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs supporting logging in to an application (App) by an end user, wherein the one or more programs are configured to be executed by the one or more processors and cause the computer server to perform a plurality of operations including:
