Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method performed at a computer acting as a third-party system for requesting for a usage permission. The third-party system receives download information sent by means of a page of a first application, the download information at least including a download identifier, and the download identifier being used for indicating a first device identifier of a first device running the first application, a first account logging into the first application, and a second application identifier of a downloaded second application. After authenticating the download information, the third-party system requests a server of the first application to configure the usage permission for the first account in response to an authentication result and return such configuration to the first application running at the first device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for requesting for a usage permission performed at a computer acting as a third-party system, the computer having one or more processors and memory storing a plurality of programs to be executed by the one or more processors, the method comprising:
receiving, by the third-party system, download information sent by means of a page of a first application, the download information at least comprising a download identifier, and the download identifier being used for indicating a first device identifier of a first device running the first application, a first account logging into the first application, and a second application identifier of a downloaded second application;
authenticating, by the third-party system, the download information; and
requesting, by the third-party system, a server of the first application to configure the usage permission for the first account in response to an authentication result and return such configuration to the first application running at the first device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the authenticating, by the third-party system, the download information comprises:
receiving, by the third-party system, application activation information, wherein the application activation information at least comprises a third application identifier used for indicating an activated third application and a second device identifier of a second device, wherein the third application is run on the second device; and
determining, by the third-party system, whether the second device identifier matches the first device identifier and whether the second application identifier matches the third application identifier; and
the requesting, by the third-party system, a server of the first application to configure the usage permission for the first account in response to an authentication result comprises: requesting, by the third-party system, the server of the first application to configure the usage permission for the first account if the second device identifier matches the first device identifier and the second application identifier matches the third application identifier.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the receiving, by a third-party system, download information sent by means of a page of a first application, the method further comprises:
issuing, by the third-party system, a download link of the second application in the first application by means of the server.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the issuing, by the third-party system, a download link of the second application to the first application by means of the server comprises:
setting, by the third-party system, the download link of the second application in the page by means of the server, and sending an address of the page to the first application by means of the server.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the download information further comprises the first device identifier and the second application identifier, wherein the download identifier is obtained by encoding the first account, the first device identifier, and the second application identifier.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the receiving, by a third-party system, download information sent by means of a page of a first application, or after the requesting, by the third-party system, a server of the first application to configure the usage permission for the first account, the method further comprises: transferring, by the third-party system, a resource corresponding to the second application to the server.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the transferring, by the third-party system, a resource corresponding to the second application to the server comprises:
transferring, by the third-party system, a fee corresponding to a quantity of times the second application is downloaded and/or activated to the server; and/or
transferring, by the third-party system a fee corresponding to the usage permission to the server.

8. A computer acting as a third-party system for requesting for a usage permission, the computer having one or more processors, memory coupled to the one or more processors, and a plurality of programs stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the third-party system to perform the following operations:
receiving, by the third-party system, download information sent by means of a page of a first application, the download information at least comprising a download identifier, and the download identifier being used for indicating a first device identifier of a first device running the first application, a first account logging into the first application, and a second application identifier of a downloaded second application;
authenticating, by the third-party system, the download information; and
requesting, by the third-party system, a server of the first application to configure the usage permission for the first account in response to an authentication result and return such configuration to the first application running at the first device.

9. The computer according to claim 8 , wherein the authenticating, by the third-party system, the download information comprises:
receiving, by the third-party system, application activation information, wherein the application activation information at least comprises a third application identifier used for indicating an activated third application and a second device identifier of a second device, wherein the third application is run on the second device; and
determining, by the third-party system, whether the second device identifier matches the first device identifier and whether the second application identifier matches the third application identifier; and
the requesting, by the third-party system, a server of the first application to configure the usage permission for the first account in response to an authentication result comprises: requesting, by the third-party system, the server of the first application to configure the usage permission for the first account if the second device identifier matches the first device identifier and the second application identifier matches the third application identifier.

10. The computer according to claim 8 , wherein before the receiving, by a third-party system, download information sent by means of a page of a first application, the method further comprises:
issuing, by the third-party system, a download link of the second application in the first application by means of the server.

11. The computer according to claim 10 , wherein the issuing, by the third-party system, a download link of the second application to the first application by means of the server comprises:
setting, by the third-party system, the download link of the second application in the page by means of the server, and sending an address of the page to the first application by means of the server.

12. The computer according to claim 8 , wherein the download information further comprises the first device identifier and the second application identifier, wherein the download identifier is obtained by encoding the first account, the first device identifier, and the second application identifier.

13. The computer according to claim 8 , wherein before the receiving, by a third-party system, download information sent by means of a page of a first application, or after the requesting, by the third-party system, a server of the first application to configure the usage permission for the first account, the method further comprises: transferring, by the third-party system, a resource corresponding to the secon
