Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of a method for application control in one embodiment. In the embodiment of the application program, an application program control method is provided and comprises steps 102-108. Wherein the content of the first and second substances,

and 102, acquiring the posture information of the electronic equipment when the screen is bright.

The screen states of the electronic device may include a screen-off state and a screen-on state. Specifically, the electronic device can be determined to be in the screen-on state or the screen-off state by detecting whether the screen is lighted or not through the Power Manager Service. After the power receives the call of the bright and dark screen, the wakefulness state of the electronic equipment is set firstly, and then the bright and dark screen broadcast is sent to inform that the electronic equipment is in the bright screen state or the dark screen state. It should be noted that the above list is an example and not a limitation for determining the screen state of the electronic device, and the screen state of the electronic device may also be detected in other manners.

The electronic device includes a sensor connected via a system bus, and the sensor may be at least one of an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, an infrared sensor, and a geomagnetic sensor, and is configured to detect status information of the electronic device, such as attitude information, position information, a distance to an external contact, and the like of the electronic device.

In one embodiment, when the screen of the electronic device is bright, the electronic device may activate a sensor for acquiring the attitude information, wherein the sensor may include an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope sensor, and may further include a geomagnetic sensor. When the sensor is activated, the sensor can be restored to the working state, and the motion data of the electronic equipment can be acquired. When the sensor is an acceleration sensor, the corresponding motion data is acceleration information, and when the sensor is a gyroscope sensor, the corresponding motion data is angular velocity information. If the sensor includes an acceleration sensor and a gyro sensor, the corresponding motion data includes acceleration information and angular velocity information. For example, when the sensor is an acceleration sensor, the acceleration sensor may detect X, Y, Z triaxial acceleration components of the electronic device in real time. The acceleration Sensor may be a Gravity Sensor (G-Sensor) in this embodiment, which is a MEMS Sensor capable of sensing the acceleration, and the acceleration Sensor may obtain the accelerations from three different axial components (X, Y, Z, three-axis components) respectively through the acceleration to inform the upper layer application to perform corresponding processing.

The electronic device may obtain the attitude information of the electronic device from the accelerations on three different axial components (X, Y, Z triaxial components) collected by the acceleration sensor may be represented by X, Y, Z triaxial components collected by the acceleration sensor. For example, pose information of a display screen of an electronic device when oriented toward a face region may be characterized by three-axis acceleration data. The attitude information of the user holding the electronic equipment, the attitude information of the electronic equipment, and the like can be represented by triaxial acceleration data.

And 104, acquiring the running information of the application program running in the foreground according to the posture information.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may obtain the running information of the application program according to the obtained posture information. When the electronic equipment is on the screen, if the posture information meets the preset holding condition, the running information of the application program currently running in the foreground of the electronic equipment can be correspondingly acquired. The preset holding condition can be understood as the posture information of the handheld electronic equipment when the user lies down or lies down.

The running information may include an application identification, a duration of running. That is, the operation information may include an application identifier indicating an identity of the application, and a duration of the application that is continuously operated in the foreground.

It should be noted that the application programs may include a system application program and a three-party application program.

And 106, when the running information reaches the preset condition, limiting the running authority of the target application program.

When the running information of the application program running in the foreground of the electronic equipment reaches the preset condition, the electronic equipment can limit the running authority of the target application program. The target application program at least comprises an application program running in the foreground. That is, the target application may include only the application currently in the foreground, and the target application may also include the application currently in the foreground, the application running in the background, and the application not in the running state.

The preset condition may be a condition on a continuous operation time, and may also be a condition on a state (power amount, network state, etc.) of the device itself. Restricting the operating right may be understood as prohibiting or stopping use of the application, may also include other applications to invoke the application, etc.

According to the application program control method, when the screen is bright, the posture information of the electronic equipment is acquired; acquiring running information of the application program running in the foreground according to the attitude information; when the operation information reaches the preset condition, the operation authority of the target application program is limited, and when the gesture information and the operation information which are acquired when the electronic equipment is on the screen meet the corresponding conditions at the same time, the operation authority of the target application program is limited, so that the user can be limited from excessively using the electronic equipment, and the physical and mental development of the user is facilitated.

As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the running information of the application program running in the foreground is obtained according to the posture information, and comprises steps 202-204. Wherein the content of the first and second substances,

step 202, judging whether the posture information meets the preset holding condition.

The electronic device may acquire pose information when the electronic device is placed or held by a user. The attitude information can be represented by three-axis acceleration, and the electronic device can acquire three-axis components of the three-axis acceleration information, namely an X-axis component, a Y-axis component and a Z-axis component. The acceleration sensor can acquire X, Y, Z triaxial acceleration of the electronic device at any time. Wherein, the triaxial acceleration in the body coordinate system can be expressed as (a)_x，a _y，a _z). For example, when the electronic device is placed stationary on a desktop (display screen facing up), the gravitational acceleration is (0, 0, g) in the geographic coordinate system; when the electronic device is placed still on the desktop (display screen facing down), the gravitational acceleration is (0, 0, -9.81) under the geographic coordinate system; when the electronic equipment tilts to the left, the X axis of the acceleration is a positive value; when the electronic equipment tilts rightwards, the acceleration X axis is a negative value; when the electronic equipment tilts upwards, the acceleration Y axis is a negative value; when the electronic equipment inclines downwards, the acceleration Y axis is a positive value; the value of the X, Y, Z axis will change constantly as the electronic device is rotated.

In one embodiment, when the Z-axis component is smaller than a first preset value, the posture information conforms to a preset holding condition. The first preset value may be 0, that is, when the Z-axis component is less than 0, it may be considered that a screen of the electronic device faces downward, that is, it may be considered that the user holds the electronic device to lie in bed to use the electronic device.

In one embodiment, when the absolute value of the X-axis component is greater than the second preset value, the posture information conforms to the preset holding condition. The second preset value may be 7, that is, when the absolute value of the X-axis component is greater than 7, it may be considered that the electronic device is tilted left or right, that is, it may be considered that the user holds the electronic device and lies on the bed to use the electronic device.

In one implementationIn the example, when the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis components satisfy-4.5<a _x<4.5；-5<a _y<5，-9.8<a _z<And 5, indicating that the current electronic display screen faces downwards (faces towards the geocentric), and the posture information accords with the preset holding condition. That is, it can be considered that the user holds the electronic apparatus lying in bed to use the electronic apparatus.

It should be noted that when the display screen of the electronic device is tilted downward, or leftward or rightward, the user may be considered to use the electronic device while lying down or lying on his side with the electronic device in hand, and the specific values of the three-axis acceleration components are not limited to the above examples.

And 204, when the posture information accords with the preset holding condition, correspondingly acquiring the running information of the application program running in the foreground under the preset holding condition.

And when the posture information accords with the preset holding condition, correspondingly acquiring the running information of the application program running in the foreground under the preset holding condition. The running information may include an application identification, a duration of running. That is, the operation information may include an application identifier indicating an identity of the application, and a duration of the application that is continuously operated in the foreground.

Further, the running information is recorded and stored in a key value pair mode. The Key Value pair is a data type in software development, and can be stored in Key Value, and can be inquired through the Key, so that the Key Value pair is mainly used for Map type data. For example, the application program running in the foreground is a, where key is the package name of the application program a, and value is the duration of the application program a running in the foreground when the electronic device is on the screen and the gesture information meets the preset holding condition.

As shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment, when the running information reaches the preset condition, limiting the running authority of the target application includes:

and 302, acquiring the continuous operation duration of each application program in foreground operation according to the application identifier.

And step 304, when the continuous running time exceeds a first preset time, forbidding the application program running in the foreground to limit the running authority of the target application program.

When the electronic equipment is on the screen and the posture information of the electronic equipment meets the preset holding condition, the user is indicated that the user lies down to use the electronic equipment currently. In this case, the execution information of the application program that is executed in the foreground can be acquired. The electronic device may correspondingly obtain the continuous operation duration of each application program in the foreground according to the application identifier of the application program. For example, the duration of the application a may be a; the continuous operation time length of the application program B can be B; the duration of the application C may be C, etc.

When the continuous running time of any foreground running application program exceeds the first preset time, the running information can be considered to reach the preset condition, and the foreground running application program can be forbidden to limit the running permission of the target application program. The target application program can be understood as an application program which is currently in foreground operation and the operation information of which reaches the preset condition.

Further, the first preset time period may be 2 hours, 2.5 hours or other user-defined time periods. The first preset time length has adjustability, and the electronic device can acquire the historical continuous running time length of the application program, namely, the single continuous running time length, calculate the average value of each continuous running time length, and set the first preset time length according to the average value.

Disabling a target application by an electronic device may be understood as forcing a shutdown of the target application so as to disable user use, or to simultaneously disable other applications from invoking the disabled target application.

In this embodiment, when the running information of a certain application program running in the foreground reaches the preset condition, the electronic device may disable the application program to limit the running authority of the target application program, so as to avoid that the user is addicted to the certain application program without knowing the lapse of time and the rest of the user is affected.

Further, before disabling the foreground-running application program in step 304 to limit the running authority of the target application program, the method may further include:

step 303: and when the running information reaches a preset condition, sending out a reminding alarm.

In one embodiment, when the operation information reaches a preset condition, the electronic device may send a warning alarm to prompt the user that the usage time is over. The reminding alarm can be output in a display mode, a ring mode and the like. For example, the electronic device may display a word such as "bed-ridden has timed out using the application program, and will forcibly quit" in a pop-up box manner, or may remind the user that the usage time has timed out in a screen flashing manner.

Optionally, the electronic device may further alert the user that the usage time has expired in a manner of an audible alert such as a buzzer or a ringtone.

In this embodiment, when the running information of the application program running in the foreground reaches the preset condition, the electronic device can remind the user of taking a rest more humanized, and the user is prevented from being addicted to a certain application program without knowing the lapse of time and influencing the rest of the user.

In one embodiment, when the running information reaches a preset condition, limiting the running authority of the target application program includes:

and 402, acquiring the continuous operation duration of each application program in foreground operation according to the application identifier.

And step 404, acquiring the total running time of all the application programs running in the foreground according to the continuous running time.

When the electronic equipment is on the screen and the posture information of the electronic equipment meets the preset holding condition, the user is indicated that the user lies down to use the electronic equipment currently. In this case, the electronic device may count the continuous operation durations of all the applications in the foreground operation in this case, and calculate a sum thereof, that is, the electronic device may obtain the total operation duration of all the applications in the foreground operation. For example, when the electronic device is on the screen and the posture information of the electronic device meets the preset holding condition, four application programs are operated in the foreground, the continuous operation time lengths of the application programs are a, b, c and d respectively, and the total operation time length is the sum of the a, b, c and d.

And 406, limiting the operation permission of the target application program when the total operation time length exceeds a second preset time length.

When the total running time length exceeds the second total preset time length, the running information can be considered to reach the preset condition, and the target application program can be forbidden to limit the running authority of the forbidden application program. And the second preset time length is greater than the first preset time length. The second preset time period may be set to 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours, 4.5 hours or other custom time periods, and is not limited to the above example.

Further, in this embodiment, the target application may include an application currently running in the foreground, an application running in the background, and an application not running, but does not include a short message application, a call application, a positioning application, and a sports application that are basic for the electronic device. For example, the electronic device may pre-store a restriction list of applications that can restrict the operation permission, where the number of target applications in the restriction list is at least one, and the restriction list does not include basic short message, call, location, and motion applications.

When the total operating duration exceeds the second preset duration, the electronic device may disable all the target applications in the preset list, so as to limit the operating permissions of all the target applications in the preset list. Disabling the target application by the electronic device may be understood as forcing a shutdown of the target application so as to disable user use, or to simultaneously disable other applications from invoking the disabled target application.

In this embodiment, when the running information of the application running in the foreground reaches the preset condition, the electronic device may disable the target application to limit the running authority of the disabled target application, so as to avoid that the user is addicted to a certain application or certain applications without knowing the lapse of time, which may affect the rest time of the user.

Further, before limiting the operation right of the target application program in step 406, the method may further include:

and 405, sending a reminding alarm when the running information reaches a preset condition.

In one embodiment, when the total operation time exceeds a second preset time, the electronic device may issue a warning alarm to prompt the user that the usage time is over. The reminding alarm can be output in a display mode, a ring mode and the like. For example, the electronic device may display a word such as "bed-ridden has timed out using the application program, and will forcibly quit" in a pop-up box manner, or may remind the user that the usage time has timed out in a screen flashing manner. Optionally, the electronic device may further alert the user that the usage time has expired in a manner of an audible alert such as a buzzer or a ringtone.

In this embodiment, when the running information of the application program reaches the preset condition, the electronic device can remind the user of taking a rest more personally, and the user is prevented from being addicted to a certain application program without knowing the lapse of time and influencing the rest of the user.

As shown in fig. 5, in one embodiment, an application control method includes:

step 502: and when the screen is bright, acquiring the posture information of the electronic equipment.

Step 504: and acquiring the running information of the application program running in the foreground according to the attitude information.

Step 506: and when the running information reaches a preset condition, limiting the running authority of the target application program.

Steps 502 to 506 correspond to steps 102 to 106 in the previous embodiment one to one, and thus, the detailed description is omitted.

Step 508: and when the limitation removing condition is met, removing the limitation on the operation authority of the target application program.

In one embodiment, the limitation removing condition may be that the electronic device moves away from a first location and moves to a second location, where the first location is a location where the operation permission of the application is limited, and a distance between the first location and the second location is greater than a preset distance. That is, the removal restriction condition is satisfied when the electronic device moves from the first position to the second position.

In one embodiment, the limitation removal condition may be that the motion data of the electronic device exceeds a preset threshold. The motion data may refer to data such as a moving distance and a number of motion steps of the electronic device. For example, if the operation data is the number of moving steps, the preset threshold may be 8000, 9000, 1000, or the like, but is not limited to the above example. That is, when the motion data of the electronic device exceeds the preset threshold, the removal limitation condition is satisfied.

When the release condition is that the electronic equipment is far away from the first position and moves to the second position or the motion data of the electronic equipment exceeds a preset threshold value, the electronic equipment can urge the user to move, and the operation limit of the application program is released in a healthy motion mode.

In one embodiment, the restriction removal condition may be that the system time of the electronic device reaches a preset removal time. The preset release time can be set according to the time limit of the operation authority of the target application program and can also be set according to the system time of the electronic equipment. For example, the preset release time may be two hours, that is, the time interval between the preset release time and the time for limiting the operation authority of the application program is two hours. The preset release time can also be the time such as 12 o' clock late in the night of the system time of the electronic equipment. The preset cancellation time is not limited to the above example, and may be set in another setting manner or a set numerical value.

When the release condition is that the system time of the electronic equipment reaches the preset release time, the electronic equipment can automatically release the operation limitation of the target application program.

In one embodiment, the restriction removal condition may be that the electronic device receives authentication removal information sent by a preset contact and verifies the authentication removal information. Specifically, when the operation authority of the application is limited, the electronic device may receive a user's release operation, which may be an operation of clicking a shortcut icon of the limited application (corresponding to one limited application), or an operation of clicking a preset release button, icon, or the like (corresponding to a plurality of limited applications), or the like. When the electronic equipment receives the releasing operation, a releasing request can be sent to a preset contact person, the preset contact person can obtain releasing verification information according to the received releasing request and sends the releasing verification information to the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment receives the releasing verification information and verifies the releasing verification information, and if the releasing verification is passed, the releasing limitation condition is met.

When the cancellation condition is that the electronic equipment of the electronic equipment receives the cancellation verification information sent by the preset contact person and verifies the cancellation verification information, the electronic equipment can cancel the operation limitation on the target application program in an emergency, and the use of the target application program by a user is not influenced.

In this embodiment, when the limitation removing condition is satisfied, the limitation on the operation permission of at least one target application program is removed, and the limitation on the operation permission of the target application program can be removed, so that the target application program is restored to a normal state, and a user can normally use the target application program without affecting the normal use of the electronic device by the user.

In one embodiment, when the number of the restricted applications is multiple, when the restriction removal condition is satisfied, removing the restriction on the operation right of at least one application includes:

step 602, when the limitation removing condition is satisfied, acquiring the type of the limitation removing condition.

The electronic device may be configured such that the restriction removal condition is a plurality of conditions, and when any one of the restriction removal conditions is satisfied, the type of the restriction removal condition may be acquired correspondingly. Four un-restriction conditions are elaborated in step 508 and may be classified to obtain the corresponding type of un-restriction condition. The types include partial release classes and full release classes. The partial release class can release only one or part of the application programs with limited operation authority, and the full release class can release all the application programs with limited operation authority.

The limitation removing condition is that the type of the electronic equipment moving to the second position and away from the first position is a full removing type; the limitation removing condition is that the type of the motion data of the electronic equipment exceeding a preset threshold is a total removing type; the limitation removing condition is that the type that the system time of the electronic equipment reaches the preset removing time is a partial removing type; the limitation removing condition is that the electronic equipment receives verification removing information sent by a preset contact person, and the type of verifying the verification removing information can be a partial verification removing type or a full verification removing type.

And step 604, removing the target application program with the limited operation authority according to the type.

The electronic device may determine a target application program, the execution of which can be released, according to the type of the restriction release condition. The all-removing type can remove all target application programs with limited operation permission; the partial release class may release one or more target applications that are restricted from running. For example, when the limitation removing condition is that the electronic device receives verification removing information sent by a preset contact and verifies the verification removing information, if the removing operation received by the electronic device is clicking a shortcut icon of a limited application program, the corresponding application program capable of removing the limited operation authority is a target application program corresponding to the shortcut icon; and if the release operation received by the electronic equipment is to click a preset release button and an icon, the corresponding application program capable of releasing the restricted operation permission is a target application program corresponding to the preset release button and the icon.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may remove the restricted target application program operation permission according to the type of the satisfied restriction removal condition, so as to improve removal efficiency.

In one embodiment, the application control method further comprises the steps of: and when the screen is turned off, closing the data transmission channel of the sensor.

Specifically, when the screen is bright, the electronic device may activate a sensor for collecting the attitude information; when the screen is turned off, the electronic equipment can close the data transmission channel of the sensor to enable the sensor to be in a dormant state, so that power consumption is saved, and the purpose of saving power is achieved.

It should be understood that although the various steps in the flow charts of fig. 3-6 are shown in order as indicated by the arrows, the steps are not necessarily performed in order as indicated by the arrows. The steps are not performed in the exact order shown and described, and may be performed in other orders, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
