Filtering and Promoting Application Store Applications

摘要

Techniques for filtering and promoting application store applications are described that can be employed to provide filtered application information and/or application promotions to client devices. The filtering and promoting can be based at least in part upon system information that describes configurations and capabilities of the client devices. In one or more embodiments, various system information for a client device is detected. The detected system information for the client device is used to filter application data in an application catalog. Page information to be provided to the client device for interaction with the application catalog is then ascertained using the filtered application data. The page information is sufficient to enable the client device to render targeted application store pages having filtered application information and/or promotions that are selected based on the detected system information.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
detecting system information regarding at least one of a device class assigned to a client device, a hardware configuration for the client device, or one or more capabilities of the client device, the system information detected responsive to the client device accessing an application catalog; determining the device class directly from the system information if the device class is included with the system information; if the system information does not include the device class of the client device, dynamically determining the device class of the client device based on at least one of the hardware configuration for the client device or the one or more capabilities of the client device; filtering application data in the application catalog based on the device class of the client device; ascertaining information for interaction with the application catalog using the filtered application data; and communicating the ascertained information to the client device sufficient to enable the client device to render one or more filtered views of the application catalog.
