Publication number: 20240143302Abstract: Disclosed are an application downloading processing method, an application downloading processing apparatus, a application downloading processing device, and a storage medium. The application downloading processing method includes obtaining a download link of application software. The download link is used for downloading an installation package of the application software. If network disconnection occurs before the downloading of the installation package is completed, caching the download link locally, and waiting for network reconnection. If removal information is obtained after the network connection is restored, canceling a downloading operation of the application software according to the removal information, and deleting the locally cached download link. The above technical solutions solve the problem of waste of an internal memory caused by downloading and installation of a removed application to the existing smart watch for kids.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: GUANGDONG GENIUS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventor: Weicheng ZHANG
