METHOD AND APPARATUS OF DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING A CLIENT

摘要

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus of downloading and installing a client. The method includes: upon receiving a request message of downloading client software that includes an identifier of the client software from a user terminal, a server obtaining account information of a user and installation information of the client software corresponding to the identifier of the client software, and sending the obtained account information and installation information of the client software to the user terminal. As such, when pushing the installation information of the client software to the user terminal, the server also provides the account information that is used for login of the client software to the user terminal, thus shortening the tedious procedure of re-registering the account information used for logging into the client software by the user, speeding up the user login of the client software and effectively improving user experience without the need of repeatedly registering the account information by the user. This saves the storage space of an application server and improves the storage capability of the application server.
