Abstract
A method of operating an application detection system is disclosed. One embodiment of the method includes: determining an application list with a detection application on an electronic device, the application list being a list of installed and running applications on the electronic device; generating a launch command to confirm installation of a first application in the application list; receiving a notification of whether the launch command succeeded upon execution; and confirming the first application to be in the application list when the launch command succeeds in launching the first application on the electronic device.
Claims20
A method of operating an application installation detection system comprising:
- determining an application list with a detection application on an electronic device, the application list being a list of installed and running applications on the electronic device;
- generating a launch command to confirm installation of a first application in the application list;
- receiving a notification of whether the launch command succeeded upon execution;
- and
- confirming the first application to be in the application list when the launch command succeeds in launching the first application on the electronic device.
A method of operating an application installation detection system comprising:
- receiving a known process executed by a known application;
- generating an application model for determining whether the known application is installed based at least in part on the known process;
- receiving a process list determined from a detection application executing on an electronic device, the process list being a list of running processes on the electronic device;
- receiving an application footprint from the electronic device;
- and
- determining an application list based at least in part by the process list, the application footprint, and the application model.
An application installation detection system comprising:
- an application detection module for determining an application list with a detection application on an electronic device, the application list being a list of installed and running applications on the electronic device;
- and
- an application check module for:
- generating a launch command to confirm installation of a first application in the application list;
- receiving a notification of whether the launch command succeeded upon execution;
- and
- confirming the first application to be in the application list when the launch command succeeds in launching the first application on the electronic device;
- and
- wherein the application detection module and the application check module are computer-implemented with at least a non-transitory computer memory and a processor.
An application installation detection system comprising:
- an application detection means for determining an application list with a detection application on an electronic device, the application list being a list of installed and running applications on the electronic device;
- and
- a command generation means for generating a launch command to confirm installation of a first application in the application list;
- a receiver means for receiving a notification of whether the launch command succeeded upon execution;
- and
- a confirmation means for confirming the first application to be in the application list when the launch command succeeds in launching the first application on the electronic device.
