Some embodiments of the graphical user interface implemented on the electronic device 100 when a user enables enhanced functionality provided by the electronic device through a "feature assistant" during use of a third-party application are described below in conjunction with two different usage scenarios.

Use scenario one: video call scenario

In the UI embodiments exemplarily illustrated in fig. 4A-4H below, the electronic device may provide enhanced functionality for the user to use when the user manipulates a third-party application installed on the electronic device. That is, a third party application on the electronic device may invoke enhanced functionality of the electronic device. The following embodiments of fig. 4A to 4H take a usage scenario as a video call scenario as an example to describe a method for a third-party application on an electronic device to invoke an enhanced function of the electronic device.

The following describes a "video call interface" provided by a third-party application installed on the electronic device exemplarily shown in fig. 4A-4H.

In some embodiments, a "video call interface" may be used to display images of both video call parties, one or more controls associated with the video call. The image of one party of the video call (i.e. the image of the local user of the electronic device) may be an image collected by the camera 193 of the electronic device, and the camera may be a front camera or a rear camera. The image of the other party to the video call (i.e., the image of the peer user) may be an image sent by the electronic device via other electronic devices that the electronic device receives via a third party application that provides the "video call interface. The associated control at the time of the video call may be used to receive a user operation (e.g., a touch operation), in response to which the electronic device may perform one or more of: switching from a video call to a voice call, hanging up the video call, or switching cameras, etc.

The user interface 41 exemplarily shown in fig. 4A-4H may be one implementation of a "video call interface". The user interface 41 may be provided by an instant messaging type third party application, such as WeChat. In some embodiments, the user interface 41 may be a user interface that is opened after the user clicks the WeChat icon 206 in FIG. 2A and selects a contact to initiate a video call. In other embodiments, the user interface 41 may be a user interface that is opened after the user clicks the WeChat icon 206 in FIG. 2A and accepts a video call initiated by a contact. In still other embodiments, it may also be a user interface that the user invokes by voice.

As shown in fig. 4A-4H, the user interface 41 may include: a status bar 401, a display area 402 of an image of an opposite end user, a display area 403 of an image of a home end user, a call duration indicator 404, a control 405, a control 406, and a control 407. In some embodiments, the user interface 41 may also include a navigation bar (not shown) that may be hidden, which may refer to the navigation bar 205 in FIG. 2A.

The status bar 401 can refer to the status bar 201 in the user interface 21 shown in fig. 2A, and is not described in detail here.

The image of the end user display area 402 is used to display an image of the end user of the video call. The image of the peer user is an image sent by the other electronic device that the electronic device receives through the third party application providing the user interface 41.

The home user image display area 403 is used for displaying an image of the home user of the video call. The image of the home user is an image captured by the camera 193 of the electronic device. The camera is a front camera or a rear camera.

The call duration indicator 404 is used to indicate the duration of the video call. Call duration indicator 404 may be a text message "00: 50" identifying that the duration of the current video call is 50 seconds.

Control 405 is used to monitor the operation of switching the video call to a voice call. In response to a detected operation (e.g., a touch operation) acting on the control 405, the electronic device may switch a video call between the current home user and the peer user to a voice call.

Control 406 is used to listen for an operation to hang up the video call. In response to a detected operation (e.g., a touch operation) acting on control 406, the electronic device can suspend the video call between the current home user and the peer user.

The control 407 is used to monitor the operation of the conversion camera. In response to a detected operation (e.g., a touch operation) acting on the control 407, the electronic device may convert a currently turned-on camera, e.g., convert a front camera to a rear camera, or convert a rear camera to a front camera, etc.

That is, a third party application on the electronic device may invoke enhanced functionality of the electronic device. The following embodiments of fig. 6A to 6H take the usage scenario as a live scenario as an example to describe a method for a third party application on an electronic device to invoke an enhanced function of the electronic device. The live broadcast scene refers to a multifunctional network live broadcast platform which is constructed on the internet by electronic equipment by utilizing the internet and advanced multimedia communication technology and integrates audio, video, desktop sharing, document sharing and interaction links, and a scene in which voice, video and data are comprehensively communicated and interacted with one another directly on line. The following live scene electronics involved in fig. 6A-6H provide scenes to a party viewing the live.

The embodiment of fig. 6A-6H differs from the embodiment of fig. 4A-4H in that the electronic device has different usage scenarios for providing enhanced functionality, which are described in detail below.

The following describes a "live interface" provided by a third-party application installed on the electronic device exemplarily illustrated in fig. 6A-6H.

In some embodiments, a "live interface" may be used to display images of a main broadcast (a user publishing voice, video, data on a live platform) acquired by an electronic device from a network, and associated controls while the electronic device is live. The related control at the time of live broadcast may be used to receive a user operation (e.g., a touch operation), and in response to the user operation, the electronic device may perform one or more of the following: opening a comment frame, displaying information, displaying live friends, sharing links of the live interface and the like.

The user interface 61 exemplarily shown in fig. 6A-6H may be one implementation of a "live interface". The user interface 61 may be provided by a live third party application (e.g., a goby live, a tiger live, a panda live, etc.). In some embodiments, the user interface 61 may be a user interface opened by the electronic device in response to a user operation (e.g., a click operation) on an icon (not shown) of the live-class third-party application in fig. 2A, or may be a user interface invoked by a voice.

As shown in fig. 6A-6H, the user interface 61 may include: status bar 601, current page indicator 602, live image display area 603, comment display area 604, controls 605A-605D. In some embodiments, the user interface 61 may also include a navigation bar (not shown) that may be hidden, which may refer to the navigation bar 205 in FIG. 2A.

The status bar 601 can refer to the status bar 201 in the user interface 21 shown in fig. 2A, and is not described in detail here.

The current page indicator 602 may be used to indicate a current page, such as the text "live room No. 1" shown in fig. 6A.

The live image display area 603 is used for displaying a live image received by the electronic device through a network.

The comment display area 604 is used to display comments posted by one or more home users or other users.

Control 605A may be used to listen to a user operation (e.g., a touch operation) in response to which the electronic device may display a comment box on user interface 61 for the user to enter comments. Control 605B may be used to listen to a user operation (e.g., a touch operation) in response to which the electronic device may display information (e.g., a personal letter) received by the home user on user interface 61. Control 605C may be used to listen to a user operation (e.g., a touch operation) in response to which the electronic device may display the live friends of the home user on user interface 61. Control 605D may be used to listen for user operations (e.g., touch operations) in response to which the electronic device may share the link of the "live interface" to other devices.

In the case where the "feature assistant" is not turned on, the user may turn on the "feature assistant". The user may turn on "feature assistant" in window 217 as shown in FIG. 2B, or may turn on "feature assistant" in the setup interface shown in FIG. 3B or FIG. 3C. Reference is made to the preceding description of embodiments. Without being limited thereto, in some embodiments, the electronic device may also turn "function assistant" on by default.

In some embodiments, the user may also be prompted to turn on the "feature assistant" when the electronic device displays a user interface 61 as shown in FIG. 6A, in the event that the "feature assistant" is not turned on, i.e., when a third-party application currently launched by the electronic device does not have the right to use the enhanced features of the electronic device. The manner in which the electronic device prompts the user to turn on the "function assistant" may include, but is not limited to: prompt information (not shown in the figure), such as text information, icons, etc., sounding a prompt tone, vibrating, etc., is displayed on the user interface 61.

In the case where the "function assistant" is turned on, i.e., when the third-party application currently launched by the electronic device has the right to use the enhanced functions of the electronic device, the electronic device may display a user interface 61 as shown in fig. 6B. The user interface 61 as shown in FIG. 6B may include a small window 606 for introducing a "function assistant". After the "function assistant" is turned on, the electronic device may display the small window 606 only when the user interface provided by the third-party application is opened for the first time, or may display the small window 606 when the user interface provided by the third-party application is opened each time, which is not limited in this application. The widget 606 may refer to the widget 408 in the user interface 41 shown in fig. 4B, and will not be described herein.

The user interface 61 illustratively shown in fig. 6C-6H may present one implementation of the enhanced functionality provided for the electronic device.

In response to a detected operation (e.g., a touch operation) acting on a control 606A in the widget 606, the electronic device may display the user interface 61 as shown in fig. 6C. As shown in fig. 6C, a control 607 may be included in the user interface 61. The control 607 can refer to the control 409 in fig. 4C, and is not described in detail here. In some embodiments, the user interface shown in FIG. 4C may also include prompt information 608. The prompt 608 refers to the prompt 410 in fig. 4C, and is not described herein.

Here, the enhanced functions currently provided by the electronic device may be determined in the following manners: 1. the enhanced functionality currently provided by the electronic device may be all of the enhanced functionality provided by the electronic device. 2. The enhanced functionality currently provided by the electronic device may be enhanced functionality available to a currently launched third party application (e.g., live fighting). 3. The enhanced functionality currently provided by the electronic device may be enhanced functionality currently available using a scene (e.g., a live scene). In the following embodiments, a determination method of the enhanced function provided when the electronic device runs the third-party application will be described in detail, and details are not repeated here.

The user interface 61 shown in fig. 6D illustrates one implementation of the electronic device deploying and displaying a control corresponding to the enhanced functionality currently provided. In the fig. 6D embodiment, the enhanced functionality currently provided by the electronic device includes: a "network acceleration" function, a "coding optimization" function, and a "tone beautification" function. The user interface 61 may be a user interface opened by the electronic device in response to a detected operation (e.g., a click operation) acting on the control 607 shown in fig. 6C. The user interface 41 may be a user interface that can be opened by the electronic device in response to a user operation (for example, a click operation) on an icon (not shown in the figure) of the live-type third-party application in fig. 2A, or may be a user interface that can be opened by the electronic device in response to a voice of the user.

As shown in fig. 6D, the user interface 61 may include: control 609A, control 609B, and control 609C.

The control 609A is used to listen for an operation to turn on the "network acceleration" function. In response to a detected operation (e.g., a touch operation) acting on control 609A, the electronic device may turn on a "network acceleration" function. The network acceleration function can be used for accelerating the acquisition speed of live images in the current live interface. The network acceleration function can make the user watch the live image more smoothly, and avoid blocking.

Control 609B is used to listen for an operation to turn on the "encode optimize" function. In response to a detected operation (e.g., a touch operation) acting on control 609B, the electronic device may turn on a "code optimization" function. The function of "coding optimization" can be used for improving the visual quality effect of live images in the current live interface.

The control 609C is used to listen for an operation to turn on the "beautiful sound" function. In response to a detected operation (e.g., a touch operation) acting on control 609C, the electronic device may turn on a "beautiful sound" function. The 'sound beautifying' function can be used for beautifying the audio corresponding to the live images in the live interface, and the beautifying can comprise processing the tone, the tone color and the like of the audio.

The representations of control 609A, control 609B, and control 609C may include icons and/or text.

In some embodiments, when the control 609A, the control 609B, or the control 609C is selected by the user, i.e., the user selects to enable the corresponding enhanced functionality of the electronic device, the display state of the control may be used to indicate that the control is selected. The display state may include: adding background color, underlining, highlighting, etc.

The user interface 61 exemplarily shown in fig. 6E may invoke one implementation of the "code optimization" functionality provided by the electronic device for third-party applications. As shown in fig. 6E, selected within the control 609B, i.e., the user selects to enable the "code optimization" function provided by the electronic device, the background color of the control 609B may be gray. As shown in fig. 6E, the visual quality of the live image displayed in the live image display area 603 is improved.

The user interface 61 shown in fig. 6F may be one implementation of the electronic device stopping displaying or collapsing displaying a control or other interactive element corresponding to the currently provided enhanced function. In some embodiments, the user interface 61 shown in FIG. 6F may be displayed if the electronic device does not receive a user operation on the controls 609A-609C of the user interface 61 shown in FIG. 6E within a preset time. In other embodiments, the electronic device may display the user interface 61 as shown in fig. 6F in response to a detected operation (e.g., a touch operation) of a blank area on the user interface 61 as shown in fig. 6E. Here, the blank area on the user interface 61 may refer to other areas besides the control and other interactive elements, and may be, for example, the home-end live image display area 603.

As shown in fig. 6F, the user interface 61 may stop displaying or collapse displaying the controls or other interactive elements corresponding to the enhanced functions currently provided by the electronic device, i.e., stop displaying the controls 609A-609C.

In some embodiments, the electronic device can also stop displaying the control 607. 6F-6H illustrate one implementation of an electronic device stop display control 607. The manner of stopping displaying the control 607 is the same as the manner of stopping displaying the control 409 by the electronic device shown in fig. 4F to 6H, and reference may be made to related descriptions, which are not repeated herein.

It is understood that, without being limited to the video call scenario or the live broadcast scenario mentioned in the above embodiments, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may also provide an enhanced function in other usage scenarios. The manner in which the electronic device provides enhanced functionality in other usage scenarios is similar to the embodiments of fig. 4A-4H, fig. 5A-5F, and fig. 6A-6H, and reference is made to the related descriptions, which are not to be taken as examples.

In the embodiment of the present application, a determination manner of the enhanced function provided to the user by the electronic device when the electronic device starts the third-party application is described in detail below. Here, the enhanced function provided to the user when the electronic device starts the third-party application may refer to an enhanced function that the electronic device may provide to the user for selection to enable after starting the third-party application, for example, a "beauty" function, and a "blurring" function provided by the electronic device in the embodiments of fig. 4A to 4H and fig. 5A to 5F, and for example, a "network acceleration" function, a "coding optimization" function, and a "beauty" function provided by the electronic device in the embodiments of fig. 6A to 6H.

In a first determination, the enhanced functions provided to the user by the electronic device include: the electronic device has all enhanced functions.

The enhanced functionality may be developed by the manufacturer based on the unique hardware and/or software of the electronic device. For example, a HUAWEI (HUAWEI) mobile phone is equipped with a come card camera based on which the mobile phone can provide a "large aperture shooting" function, an "ultra wide angle shooting" function, and the like at the time of taking a picture. For another example, a mobile phone manufacturer independently develops an algorithm to provide a 'beauty' function, a 'body' function, a 'blurring' function and the like during photographing; an anti-shake function and an ultra-wide-angle shooting function when recording small videos; a "super resolution" imaging function, "a" color enhancement "function, and the like when playing a video; the 'beautiful sound' function when recording music, etc. It can be seen that the enhanced functionality of the electronic device may comprise one or more.

Through the first determination mode, when the electronic device starts each third-party application, all enhanced functions of the electronic device can be provided for the user. The third-party application installed on the electronic equipment can call the enhanced function of the electronic equipment, and the user can make full use of the enhanced function provided by the electronic equipment, so that the experience of the user when using the third-party application is improved.

(II) in a second determination mode, the enhanced functions provided to the user by the electronic equipment comprise: among all the enhanced functions of the electronic equipment, the enhanced functions which can be used by the third-party application currently started by the electronic equipment.

In a second determination, the enhanced functions that can be used by the third-party application currently launched by the electronic device may include: and the electronic equipment currently starts enhanced functions corresponding to one or more usage scenes provided by the third-party application.

In particular, in general, the usage scenario provided by the third-party application is not single, and one third-party application may provide multiple usage scenarios. Different third party applications may provide different usage scenarios. Illustratively, referring to table 1, table 1 exemplarily lists several usage scenarios provided by third-party applications. As shown in table 1, the usage scenarios provided by the instant messaging third party applications such as WeChat, Skype, WhatsApp, etc. may include: social communication scenes (such as text or voice chatting), small video recording scenes, video playing scenes, scenes for reading news information, video playing scenes, audio playing scenes and the like; usage scenarios that shopping-like third-party applications, such as naobao, Amazon (Amazon), etc., may provide may include shopping scenarios, live scenes, etc.

TABLE 1 usage scenarios provided by different third-party applications

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the usage scenarios may be classified according to user requirements, and may also be classified according to other criteria, for example, resources called when the electronic device provides the usage scenarios, and the present application does not limit this.

In the embodiment of the application, each enhanced function of the electronic device has a corresponding use scene. In general, the enhancement function is used only in the corresponding usage scenario, and is not used in other usage scenarios. That is, different usage scenarios may correspond to different enhanced functionality.

In the embodiment of the application, the enhanced functions respectively corresponding to different usage scenarios may be configured in the electronic device in advance. Illustratively, referring to table 1, table 1 exemplarily lists enhancement functions respectively corresponding to several usage scenarios. As shown in table 1, the "large aperture" function, "super wide angle shooting" function, "beauty" function, "body beauty" function, and the like are applicable to a shooting scene; the super-resolution imaging function, the color enhancement function and the like are suitable for playing video scenes; the 'beautiful sound' function is suitable for recording audio scenes and the like.

TABLE 2 enhanced functions respectively corresponding to different usage scenarios

In the second determination manner, the enhanced functions that can be used by the third-party application currently started by the electronic device may include: and the electronic equipment currently starts enhanced functions corresponding to one or more usage scenes provided by the third-party application. In some embodiments, the electronic device may match or determine the enhanced functionality corresponding to one or more usage scenarios provided by the third-party application when the third-party application is installed. In other embodiments, the electronic device may match or determine the enhanced functions corresponding to the one or more usage scenarios provided by the third-party application when the third-party application is started.

For example, referring to table 2, the usage scenario provided by WeChat (WeChat) includes: the enhanced functions that can be used by WeChat (WeChat) can include enhanced functions corresponding to the use scenes, and can include: the function of "red packet acceleration", "interesting chat", "big aperture", "super wide shooting", "beauty", "slimming", "super resolution imaging", "color enhancement", "read later", "intelligent screen recognition", etc.

As another example, the usage scenarios provided by the treasure hunt include shopping scenarios and game scenarios, and the enhanced functions that the treasure hunt can use may include: the system comprises a commodity historical price display function, a commodity rapid comparison function, a network acceleration function, a coding optimization function, a beautiful sound function and the like.

In a second determination manner, the electronic device may first determine a currently started third-party application, then determine an enhanced function that can be used by the third-party application, and provide the enhanced function that can be used by the third-party application for the user to use. The third-party application currently launched by the electronic device may be a foreground application of the electronic device, and the foreground application may occupy screen focus to provide a graphical user interface for a user.

The electronic device may determine the currently launched third-party application by any one of the following: 1. looking at the name of the task process at the top of the stack of RunningTask, this name can be used to indicate the currently launched third party application. 2. Acquiring a list (list) of currently running processes through a running process, traversing each process in the list, judging whether the process is a foreground process, and if so, indicating the currently started third-party application by the name of the process. 3. And acquiring the use conditions of all applications through the UsagStatsManager so as to determine the currently started third-party application.

Through the second determination mode, the electronic device can provide different enhanced functions for the user when starting different third-party applications. That is, the electronic device may provide the user with enhanced functionality appropriate for the currently launched third-party application. The user may use different enhanced features when using different third party applications on the electronic device.

(iii) in a third determination mode, the enhanced functions provided to the user by the electronic device include: the method is suitable for the enhancement function of the current use scene.

In some embodiments, the enhancement function applicable to the current usage scenario may be an enhancement function corresponding to the current usage scenario, as described with reference to table 2 and related descriptions. For example, if the current usage scenario is a video call scenario, the enhanced functions provided by the electronic device to the user include: the functions of ' beauty ', body ' and ' vacuity '; if the current usage scene is a video playing scene, the enhanced functions provided by the electronic device to the user include: a super-resolution imaging function and a color enhancement function. The electronic device may read, in one or more of the kernel layer, the system layer, or the application framework layer, a resource category occupied by the currently-started third-party application and/or a user interface currently provided by the third-party application, and determine a current usage scenario.

For example, if the hardware resources occupied by the third-party application include a camera and a microphone, it may be determined that the current usage scenario is a video recording scenario; if the third-party application calls a processor (CPU) to perform video decoding and occupies an audio playing device (e.g., a speaker 170A, etc.), it may be determined that the current usage scene is a video playing scene; if the third-party application uses a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to perform graphics rendering, and combines with the recognition of the current interface name (for example, the third-party application currently running on the electronic device is "royal glory", the electronic device may capture the interface name "com.tension.tmgp.sgame.sgameactivity" from the background), it may be determined that the current usage scene is a game scene; if the third-party application calls a processor (CPU) to perform video encoding and decoding, calls a camera and a microphone, and the wireless communication module or the mobile communication module has data transmission (i.e., has data exchange with a network server), and combines the recognized current interface name (for example, the third-party application "WeChat" currently running by the electronic device provides a video call scene, the electronic device may capture the interface name "com. Here, the current interface refers to a graphical user interface provided by the currently launched third-party application, which takes screen focus. The electronic device recognizes the current interface in a manner similar to the manner of determining the currently launched third-party application, and reference may be made to the relevant description.

In other embodiments, the enhanced functionality applicable to the current usage scenario may refer to: and among the enhanced functions corresponding to the current use scene, the enhanced functions compatible with the current capability provided by the electronic equipment. In the enhancement functions corresponding to the current use scene, the enhancement functions exclusive to the capability currently provided by the electronic device are removed, namely the enhancement functions suitable for the current use scene.

It is understood that due to resource conflicts or other reasons, some of the functions (including enhanced functions and non-enhanced functions) of the electronic device are mutually exclusive, and the electronic device cannot provide mutually exclusive functions at the same time. For example, the electronic device cannot provide an enhanced function "skin makeup" function and a non-enhanced function "anti-shake" function at the same time, cannot provide an enhanced function "blurring" function and a non-enhanced function "high dynamic range imaging (HDR)" function at the same time, and cannot provide an enhanced function "ultra wide angle shooting" function and a non-enhanced function "anti-shake" function at the same time.

The electronic device may read the parameters of the currently occupied resources to determine the functionality that has been currently provided to the user. The resource parameters currently occupied by the electronic device may include, but are not limited to: camera parameters, codec parameters, display parameters, network parameters, audio parameters, and the like. The camera parameters may include resolution, frame rate, focus mode, and anti-shake mode, and the encoding and decoding parameters may include: bitrate, I-frame interval, display parameters may include resolution, display mode (e.g., SurfaceView, TextureView), and the like. For example, the electronic device may determine, from the read camera parameters (e.g., resolution, focus parameters), that a "skin makeup" function or an "anti-shake" function, etc. has been provided.

Through the third determination mode, when the electronic device starts the third-party application, different enhanced functions can be provided for the user under different use scenes provided by the third-party application. That is, the electronic device may provide the user with enhanced functions suitable for the current usage scenario. The user may use different enhanced functionality when opening different interfaces of the same third party application on the electronic device.

In this application, the control for listening for an operation of turning on the enhanced function may be referred to as an enhanced function option, and the user interface for presenting the enhanced function option may be referred to as a first user interface. Exemplary implementations of the first user interface may include the user interface 41 shown in fig. 4D, the user interface 51 shown in fig. 5D, or the user interface 61 shown in fig. 6D.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 shows a block diagram of a software structure of the electronic device 100 exemplarily provided in the embodiment of the present application. The electronic device 100 may invoke enhanced functionality of the electronic device when the third party application is enabled.

As shown in fig. 7, the electronic device may include: an application layer, an Application Programming Interface (API), an enhanced function matching module, an enhanced function penetration module, a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) layer, and a kernel layer (kernel). Wherein:

the application layer includes a series of application packages, such as "feature assistants" and third party applications. The "function assistant" may be a service or function provided by the electronic device, and refer to the related description of the foregoing embodiments. The "function assistant" may support providing enhanced functions of the electronic device when the third-party application is enabled, and the enhanced functions of the electronic device may refer to the related descriptions of the foregoing embodiments, and may include, for example, a "beauty" function, a "large aperture" function, a "wide angle" function, an "anti-shake" function, and the like. The third party application may refer to the description related to the previous embodiments, and may include WeChat, Messenger, Skype, trembler, etc., for example.

In some embodiments, a "function assistant" may be used to determine whether a third-party application currently launched by an electronic device has permission to use enhanced functions of the electronic device.

The application program interface is used for realizing communication between the application program layer and the HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel). For example, communication between third party applications and a HAL layer and kernel layer (kernel) may be provided, among others.

The enhanced function matching module is used for determining enhanced functions provided for the user by the electronic equipment when the third-party application is started, namely determining the enhanced functions provided for the currently running third-party application by the electronic equipment.

In some embodiments, the enhanced function matching module may determine all enhanced functions provided by the electronic device as the enhanced functions provided to the user by the electronic device when the third-party application is started. Here, the manner in which the enhanced function matching module determines the enhanced function to be provided to the user may refer to the aforementioned first determination manner.

In other embodiments, the electronic device may further include an application identification module. The application identification module may be used to identify a third party application currently launched by the electronic device. The enhanced function matching module may determine, of all enhanced functions possessed by the electronic device, an enhanced function that can be used by a third-party application currently started by the electronic device, as the enhanced function provided to the user when the electronic device starts the third-party application. Here, the manner in which the enhanced function matching module determines the enhanced function to be provided to the user may refer to the aforementioned second determination manner.

In still other embodiments, the electronic device may also include a scene identification and parameter gathering module. The scenario identification and parameter gathering module may be used to identify the usage scenario currently provided by the electronic device and the functions that are currently already provided. The enhanced function matching module is used for determining the enhanced functions suitable for the current use scene as the enhanced functions provided for the user by the electronic equipment when the third-party application is started. Here, the manner in which the enhanced function matching module determines the enhanced function provided to the user may refer to the aforementioned third determination manner, and the enhanced function applicable to the current usage scenario may refer to the relevant description in the aforementioned third determination manner.

A "function helper" in the application layer may present the enhanced functions to the user after the enhanced function matching module determines the enhanced functions provided to the user for the user to select the enhanced functions that the user wants to enable. The manner in which the "function assistant" presents the enhanced functionality to the user may include displaying controls corresponding to the enhanced functionality on a screen, etc. The manner in which the "function assistant" presents available functions to the user can be found in relation to the embodiments of fig. 4A-4H, 5A-5F, and 6A-6H. The user may choose to invoke or enable one or more of the enhanced features after the "feature assistant" provides the enhanced features.

The enhanced function penetration module is used for applying one or more enhanced functions selected and started by a user to the third-party application, namely enabling the electronic equipment to call the enhanced functions of the electronic equipment when the third-party application is used. Specifically, the enhanced function penetration module is configured to send parameters related to the called enhanced function to the HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel), so that the HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel) perform corresponding operations, thereby enabling the enhanced function selected by the user. In some embodiments of the present application, a parameter involved in an enhanced function invoked by an electronic device may be referred to as a first parameter. After the enhanced function penetration module applies one or more enhanced functions selected and started by the user to the third-party application, the electronic equipment can present effects corresponding to the enhanced functions selected by the user, such as 'beauty' and 'body' effects of the character image in the screen and the like, in a user interface provided by the third-party application.

The HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel) are used for responding to the enhancement function called by the enhancement function penetration module to execute corresponding operations. For example, the electronic device may invoke an algorithm of the HAL layer, thereby enabling the enhanced functionality. For another example, the electronic device may invoke a corresponding driver to enable the enhanced functionality through a hardware device (e.g., a camera). Exemplarily, taking a video call scene as an example, if a user selects to enable an enhanced function "blurring" function provided by the electronic device, the electronic device may call a camera (camera) algorithm through the HAL layer to perform blurring processing on a captured image of the home terminal user; if the user selects to enable the enhanced function 'anti-shake' function provided by the electronic device, the electronic device may use a camera (camera) of a kernel layer (kernel) to drive the camera to perform anti-shake processing on the captured image of the local user. As another example, if the user selects to enable the enhanced function "color enhancement" provided by the electronic device, the electronic device may call a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) algorithm through the HAL layer to perform color enhancement processing on an image displayed on the screen; if the user selects to start the enhanced function of the super-resolution imaging function provided by the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment can call an image super-resolution algorithm through the HAL layer to perform pixel super-resolution processing on the image displayed on the screen.

The HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel) are also used for reporting the state change occurring after the enhanced function is enabled to a third-party application (for example, WeChat (WeChat), Skype, etc.) of the application layer. The state change includes activation/deactivation of the respective enhanced function, an activation level of the enhanced function, and the like. After receiving the state change, the third-party application may present the start/stop state of each enhanced function and the activation level of the enhanced function to the user. For example, as shown in fig. 6E, if the user has enabled the "encode optimization" function, the electronic device may change the display state of control 609B.

In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the software modules is not limited to one, and may be multiple. For example, the electronic device may have one or more enhanced-function penetration modules. In some embodiments, the electronic device may be configured with a plurality of enhanced functionality penetration modules, each enhanced functionality penetration module corresponding to an enhanced functionality provided by the electronic device for acting the enhanced functionality in a third party application.

In this application, the enhanced function penetration module may also be referred to as an enhanced function interface.

It should be noted that the functional architecture of the electronic device shown in fig. 7 is only one implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, and in practical applications, the electronic device may further include more or fewer software modules, which is not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may further include a display module, based on the software structure shown in fig. 7, and the display module is configured to display a corresponding user interface according to the operation of each software module. The user interface displayed by the display module can refer to the embodiments shown in fig. 4A-4H, fig. 5A-5F, and fig. 6A-6H. The display module may be embodied as the display screen 194 in fig. 1.

Based on the functional architecture diagram shown in fig. 7, a method for invoking an enhanced function of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is described below as a specific example. Fig. 8 illustrates a data flow involved in invoking an enhanced function of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The usage scenario of this embodiment may be the video call scenario in fig. 4A-4H or fig. 5A-5F, in which the electronic device enables the camera.

The correspondence relationship between the respective modules is described below with reference to fig. 7 and 8.

The application layer in FIG. 7 corresponds to the application layer in FIG. 8;

the application interface in FIG. 7 corresponds to the application framework layer in FIG. 8;

the enhanced function matching module in fig. 7 corresponds to the system service (SystemServer) in fig. 8;

the enhanced function penetration module in fig. 7 corresponds to a camera function service extension (CameraServiceExtra);

the application identification module in fig. 7 corresponds to the system service (SystemServer) in fig. 8;

the scene recognition and parameter collection module in fig. 7 corresponds to a camera function service extension (CameraServiceExtra) in fig. 8.

In some embodiments, a "feature assistant" may be used to configure the permissions of third-party applications providing the video-call scenario to use the enhanced features of the electronic device.

First, the electronic device starts a third-party application (e.g., WeChat, Skype, etc.) that can provide a video call scene, and opens a video call interface based on the third-party application to provide the video call scene. Referring to the third party application original parameter flow, the third party application of the application layer issues the original parameter flow to the HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel). Here, the original parameter stream includes parameters involved when the third-party application provides the video call scene, such as camera parameters (e.g., resolution, frame rate, focus mode, anti-shake mode), and the like. After receiving the parameter, the HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel) may execute corresponding operations to provide a video call scenario for the user. For example, after receiving an original parameter stream of a third-party application, a kernel layer (kernel) may invoke a corresponding driver, and provide a video call scene for a user through a hardware device (e.g., a camera).

Second, when a third-party application initiates a video call, the system service (SystemServer) may send a notification to the "function assistant," the notification indicating the third-party application currently being launched by the electronic device. The notification may be a broadcast. The data flow trend for which the system service (SystemServer) sends a notification to the "function helper" may refer to the white list listening data flow shown in fig. 8.

The "function assistant" then determines whether the third-party application currently initiating the video call has permission to use the enhanced functions of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the "feature assistant" may check to see if the third party application currently initiating the video call is on the "feature assistant" white list, and if so, the third party application has permission to use the enhanced features of the electronic device. Here, the "function assistant" white list may refer to the related description of the previous embodiments. The "feature assistant" may provide enhanced functionality to the user if the third-party application currently initiating the video call has permission to use the enhanced functionality of the electronic device. The manner in which the "function assistant" provides enhanced functionality may be found in relation to the previous description of the embodiment of fig. 4A-4H or the embodiment of fig. 5A-5F. Illustratively, the electronic device may display a control 409 as shown in FIG. 4A on the screen for the user to view and invoke or enable enhanced functionality provided by the electronic device. The determination of the enhancement function can be made in the manner described in the foregoing embodiments.

After the user selects to enable the enhanced function provided by the electronic device, the "function assistant" issues the parameter corresponding to the enhanced function selected to be enabled by the user to the HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel), and the HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel) may execute a corresponding operation according to the parameter corresponding to the enhanced function, for example, the HAL layer may call an algorithm to start the enhanced function, and for example, the kernel layer (kernel) may call a driver to enable the enhanced function through a hardware device (for example, a camera). After the HAL layer and the kernel layer (kernel) execute corresponding operations according to the parameters corresponding to the enhanced function, the electronic device may present the effect after the enhanced function is started.

For example, taking a video call scene as an example, if the user selects to enable the enhanced function "blurring" function provided by the electronic device, the electronic device may call a camera (camera) algorithm through the HAL layer to perform blurring processing on a captured image of the home terminal user, and display the blurred image of the home terminal user on the display screen. For another example, if the user selects to enable a "beauty" function and a "body beauty" function provided by the electronic device, the electronic device may call an image processing algorithm through the HAL layer to perform beauty or body beauty processing on the captured image of the home terminal user, so that the character image displayed on the screen presents "beauty", "body beauty" effects, and the like. Here, the "function helper" sends the parameters corresponding to the enhanced functions selected and enabled by the user to the data flow direction of the driver of the kernel layer (kernel), which may refer to the function helper parameter flow shown in fig. 8.

After receiving the parameter sent by the "function assistant" by the driver of the kernel layer (kernel), reporting the state change occurring after the corresponding operation is executed according to the parameter to a third-party application (for example, WeChat, Skype, etc.) of the application layer. The state change includes activation/deactivation of the respective enhanced function, an activation level of the enhanced function, and the like. After receiving the state change, the third-party application may present the start/stop state of each enhanced function and the activation level of the enhanced function to the user. For example, as shown in fig. 6E, if the user has enabled the "encode optimization" function, the electronic device may change the display state of control 609B. The data flow trend of the kernel layer (kernel) driving reporting the state change to the third-party application (e.g. WeChat, Skype, etc.) of the application layer can refer to the callback data flow shown in FIG. 8.

Here, a portion shown by a dotted line in fig. 9 indicates that the module is an optional module or that the step is an optional step.
