What is third party software? What does third party software mean

Third-party software is software that does not come with the system.

Different people have different opinions about what third-party software means. But one thing that is well established is that third-party software is a relative concept. That is, relative to the first party (also refers to the official, including the operating platform on which the software runs and the creator of a product), and the second party - most people think that the second party can be considered as the user of the software.

Third-party software includes the following categories: First, it refers to plug-ins of a software compiled by a third party. Nowadays, many software provides plug-in functions, and the compiler of the software is called official, and if it is an unofficial plug-in, it can be called third-party software.

The second refers to an application, such as the PDF e-book format, which is developed by Adobe, and Adobe is called the official, while all application software developed by non-Adobe companies for the PDF e-book format can be called third-party software.

The third is the software developed for a certain type of equipment, such as mobile phones, cameras and other equipment, manufacturers generally also develop software, but there are also many programming enthusiasts or organizations specially developed for a certain type of equipment application software, which is called third-party software.

Some people believe that third-party software is related software developed by other organizations or individuals who are not the software compiler. In other words, third-party software includes individuals with development capabilities as well as most of the software developed by major software developers. This explanation is more comprehensive and better explains the complex nature of third-party software.

The third-party applications are as follows:

1. Instant messaging.

Instant messaging (IM) is a terminal service that allows two or more people to use the Internet to instantly send text messages, files, voice messages and communication.

Instant messaging is divided into enterprise instant messaging and instant messaging according to the use of the purpose, and can be divided into mobile phone instant messaging and PC instant messaging according to the loading object.

2. Remote access.

It is part of an integrated Routing and Remote Dig Access service that provides remote networking for remote workers, out-of-office workers, and system administrators who monitor and manage servers in multiple departmental offices.

3. Digital reading.

Digital reading refers to the digitization of reading, which has two main meanings.

The first sentence is the digitization of the reading object, that is, the content of the reading is presented in a digital way, such as e-books, the Internet**, electronic maps, digital**, blogs, web pages, etc.

The second is the digitization of the reading method, that is, the carrier and terminal of reading are not flat paper, but electronic instruments with screen display.

In addition to simply synthesizing various materials, the device usually also has the function of adding transition effects, MTV subtitle effects, and adding text annotations.

Third-party software refers to software provided by a software company other than the manufacturer of the nonlinear system.

Most of these software cannot be directly attached to non-linear cards for input and output, but they can process and process the video and audio materials that have entered the hard disk array, or make their own two-dimensional and three-dimensional images and then synthesize them with those ** materials, and the synthesized works are then output by the input or output software.

The variety of these software is very rich and powerful, and some of them are even transferred from workstations, so to speak, the reason why nonlinear systems can achieve unpredictable results, unbelievable and attract everyone's attention depends entirely on third-party software.

Scope Explained:

First of all, we try to find the first party, which is what we call the official. As far as the Windows operating system is concerned, this is developed by Microsoft, then Microsoft is official, on this operating system, all the software developed by Microsoft can be called official software, and at this time another group was born, that is, the "third party" developed software that is more suitable for our use, and the son is named after the father's surname: third-party software.

Although the operating system is also a software, we usually understand it as a software platform, and many software is developed based on such a platform, so whether all software is called third-party software, the answer is definitely not. I believe that whoever developed this software is the official of this software, and I believe everyone agrees. For example, the developers of the games we often play are the official ones, so the game plug-ins are third-party.
