Description

Control method of floating ball and related device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a control method of a hover ball and a related device.

Background

The floating window is a window displayed above an application interface or a desktop in a floating manner. The suspension window is movable, can be used for opening different applications, and is convenient to operate. Among them, an application opened through a floating window may be referred to as a floating window application.

When a user opens multiple floating window applications, the floating window applications are often reduced to a floating ball, resulting in a collection of floating balls that are used to store the floating balls.

At present, when a plurality of floating balls are contained in a floating ball set, if a user wants to open a floating window application through the floating ball set, the user generally needs to perform a click operation on the floating ball set to open a floating window application list, select an application that the user wants to open in the floating window application list, and perform a click operation on the application, so that the application can be opened on a desktop of an electronic device through a floating window. However, this method requires multiple triggering operations by the user, which is cumbersome and not good for the user experience.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a control method and a related device of a floating ball, so as to simplify operation and improve user experience.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a control method for a floating ball, which is applied to an electronic device, and includes: receiving a first user operation, wherein the first user operation is a sliding operation for a hovercall set, the hovercall set is used for storing hovercalls, and icons of corresponding applications are displayed in each hovercall; under the condition that a plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set, and the sliding direction of the first user operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen, opening the application corresponding to the first floating ball in the floating ball set through the floating window on the interface, and displaying the second floating ball at the forefront end of the floating ball set; the first hovercall is the hovercall displayed at the forefront of the hovercall set before the electronic equipment receives the first user operation, and the second hovercall is the next hovercall of the first hovercall in the hovercall set determined according to the preset sequence.

Based on the method, when the sliding operation acting on the floating ball set is received, if the situation that a plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set is judged, and the sliding direction of the sliding operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen, the application corresponding to the floating ball at the front end of the floating ball set can be displayed in an interface in a centralized mode by opening the floating ball through the floating window. Therefore, the user can open the floating window application or switch the currently opened floating window application through one simple sliding operation, and the operation is simple and convenient. Compared with the operation of opening the floating window application list and then selecting the floating window application, the operation is more convenient and time-consuming. When the suspension window application is opened on the interface, the next suspension ball determined according to the preset sequence is displayed at the forefront end of the suspension ball set, so that the user is reminded of the application which can be opened in the next sliding operation. Thus, the user experience may be improved overall.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, after receiving the first user operation, the method further includes: it is determined whether the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the set of hovers at the edge of the screen coincide.

If the sliding direction of the first user operation is sliding from left to right, and the floating ball set is located on the right side of the edge of the screen, the sliding direction of the first user operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen; or, if the sliding direction of the first user operation is sliding from right to left and the floating ball set is located on the left side of the edge of the screen, the sliding direction of the first user operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen.

If the sliding direction of the first user operation is sliding from left to right, and the floating ball set is located on the left side of the edge of the screen, the sliding direction of the first user operation is inconsistent with the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen; or, if the sliding direction of the first user operation is from right to left and the hovercall set is located on the right side of the edge of the screen, the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the hovercall set on the edge of the screen are not consistent.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, before determining whether the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the set of hovers at the edge of the screen coincide, the method further includes: and determining whether a plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set.

Under the condition that the number of the floating balls in the floating ball set is one, the floating window application can be opened by clicking the floating ball, and the floating window application list cannot be entered, so that the floating window application can be directly opened by sliding operation, and the consistency between the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen does not need to be judged. When the number of the hovers in the hovers set is two or more, since the opening of the floating window list may be triggered by clicking the hover, the floating window application can be directly opened through a sliding operation. In this case, when the first user operation is received, the consistency between the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen needs to be further determined, so as to determine whether the application needs to be opened through the floating window according to the determination result.

Through the judgment of the number of the suspension balls concentrated by the suspension balls, different processing modes are adopted according to different judgment results, so that the suspension window application can be opened in a more convenient and faster mode.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementation manners of the first aspect, if the sliding direction of the first user operation is from left to right, the preset sequence is a first preset sequence; if the sliding direction of the first user operation is from right to left, the preset sequence is a second preset sequence; the first predetermined sequence is opposite to the second predetermined sequence.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementation manners of the first aspect, the opening, at the interface, an application corresponding to the first hover ball in the hover ball set through the hover window includes: taking the first suspension ball out of the suspension ball set; and opening the application corresponding to the first suspension ball through the suspension window on the interface.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, after displaying the second hover ball at a forefront of the set of hover balls, the method further includes: receiving a second user operation, which is a sliding operation for the floating ball set; under the condition that a plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set, and the sliding direction of the second user operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen, the application opened through the floating window in the interface is reduced into a first floating ball and the first floating ball is put into the floating ball set; and opening the application corresponding to the second suspension ball through the suspension window on the interface.

And after receiving the first user operation, opening the application corresponding to the first floating ball in the floating ball set on the interface through the floating window, and displaying the second floating ball at the forefront end of the floating ball set, wherein if the second user operation is received again, the user wants to switch the applications of the floating window. At this time, the foremost end of the floating ball set does not display the first floating ball any more, but displays the second floating ball, and when receiving the second user operation, the operation of opening the floating window application list and then selecting the floating window application is not required to be executed, but the application corresponding to the second floating ball is directly opened through the floating window. Compared with the operation of opening the floating window application list and then selecting the floating window application when the floating window application is switched, the operation is more convenient and shorter in time consumption.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, after receiving the first user operation, the method further includes: determining that the first user operation is a sliding operation.

When the first user operation is a sliding operation, the scheme provided by the application can be adopted to respond to the first user operation, specifically, the application corresponding to the first levitation ball in the levitation ball set can be opened through the levitation window on the interface, and the second levitation ball is displayed at the forefront end of the levitation ball set. When the first user operation is not a sliding operation but a clicking operation, a current existing scheme may be adopted to respond to the first user operation, specifically, a floating window application list may be opened in the interface, so that the user selects an application that the user wants to open in the floating window application list, and when a clicking operation on an application in the floating window application list is received again, the application is opened through the floating window in the interface.

Because the gesture operation habits of different users may be different, different switching modes of the floating window application are adopted based on different gesture operations of the user on the floating ball set, so that the gesture operation habits of the user can be met, and meanwhile, the switching of the floating window application can be realized.

In a second aspect, the present application provides a control apparatus for a hoverball, the apparatus comprising means for performing the method as described in the first aspect and any one of the possible implementations of the first aspect.

In a third aspect, the present application provides a control apparatus for a hover ball, including a memory for storing a computer program and a processor for executing the computer program to perform the first aspect and any one of the possible implementations of the first aspect.

In a fourth aspect, the present application provides an electronic device comprising a processor and a memory, the memory being configured to store a computer program, the processor being configured to invoke the computer program in the memory to perform the method according to the first aspect and any one of the possible implementations of the first aspect.

In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a chip comprising a processor configured to invoke a computer program in a memory to perform the method according to the first aspect as well as any of the possible implementations of the first aspect.

It should be noted that the following description, in conjunction with the various figures, illustrates the interface of the floating window application. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the application. In different electronic devices, the interface of the floating window application may have different designs, and the displayed interface may include the content included in the interface shown in the figures, or may include more or less content than the interface shown in the figures below. The present application is not limited in this regard.

For ease of understanding, FIG. 2 shows a schematic interface diagram for operating on a set of hovers.

As shown in fig. 2 (a), assuming that a user wants to open an application through an interface of an electronic device, an application icon on the interface may be clicked. For example, if the user wants to open a "browser" application, the user may click a "browser" icon on the interface.

As shown in (b) of fig. 2, the electronic device opens an application corresponding to the application icon on the interface. For example, a "browser" application is opened on the interface.

If the user wants to reduce the application opened on the interface to the hover ball, the user may first perform a sliding operation from bottom to top on the control 201 displayed on the interface. It should be appreciated that the electronic device may display the application displayed on the interface through the floating window upon receiving a slide operation acting on the control 201.

As shown in (c) of fig. 2, the electronic device displays the corresponding application through the floating window in the interface, i.e., displays the floating window application in the interface. For example, a "browser" application is displayed through a floating window.

After the application is displayed through the floating window, the user may further perform a click operation on the control 202 next to the floating window application. It should be appreciated that the electronic device, upon receiving a click operation on the control 202, can shrink the hover window application to a hover ball, which is deposited in a hover ball collection 203 as shown in (d) of fig. 2.

It should be noted that the present application is only exemplary of the process of reducing a floating window application to a floating ball. In an actual scene, when a user opens multiple applications on the interface, the processes (a) - (c) in fig. 2 may be repeatedly executed to reduce the multiple suspension window applications into multiple suspension balls, and the suspension balls are stored in the suspension ball set 203. For ease of understanding, fig. 2 illustrates an example in which a plurality of hovers are stored in the hoverball collection 203.

As shown in fig. 2 (d), assuming that the user again wants to open a certain hover window application through the hover ball set 203, a click operation can be performed on the hover ball set 203.

It should be understood that at this time, a number indication icon 204 is displayed beside the hovercall set 203, which indicates that a plurality of hovercalls are stored in the hovercall set 203, and each hovercall corresponds to one application.

As shown in (e) of fig. 2, a floating window application list 205 is opened on the interface, where the floating window application list 205 includes a plurality of floating window applications, such as a browser, information, and a gallery.

The user may select a floating window application that the user wants to open in the floating window application list 205 by a click operation. For example, if the user wants to open the "gallery" application through the floating window, the user may click on the "gallery" icon.

As shown in fig. 2 (f), the application "gallery" is taken out from the floating window application list 205, and the application "gallery" is opened through the floating window on the interface. At this point, the hover window application list 205 is hidden and the hover ball set 203 continues to be displayed on the interface.

It can be seen that the number indication icon 204 still exists at this time, which indicates that a plurality of floating window applications are still contained in the floating window application list 205.

If the user wants to open another hover window application, the clicking operations on the hover ball set 203 may continue.

As shown in (g) in fig. 2, the floating window application list 205 is opened again on the interface. At this time, the floating window application list 205 includes a plurality of floating window applications, such as a browser, information, and an address book.

The user may continue to select the floating window application that he or she wants to open in the floating window application list 205 by a click operation. For example, if the user wants to open the "information" application through the floating window, the user may click on the "information" icon.

As shown in fig. 2 (h), the "information" application is taken out from the floating window application list 205, and the "information" application is opened through the floating window on the interface. At this point, the hover window application list 205 is hidden and the hover ball set 203 is again displayed on the interface.

If the user wants to continue to open another hover ball application, the process of performing a click operation on the hover ball set 203 to open the hover window application list 205 and then selecting a hover window application may be repeated, which is not described herein again.

It should be understood that if the number of the floating window applications included in the floating window application list 205 is one, the electronic device does not need to open the floating window application list 205 when receiving a click operation of the user on the floating ball set 203, but directly opens the floating window application.

According to the control method for the floating ball, the plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set, namely, when the floating window application list comprises a plurality of floating window applications, if a user wants to open a certain floating window application, the user needs to click the floating ball set to open the floating window application list, then selects the floating window application to be opened from the floating window list, and clicks the selected floating window application to open the application to be opened through the floating window. If the user wants to open another floating window application when the user has already opened one floating window application, the operation of opening the floating window application list and then selecting the floating window application still needs to be repeatedly executed. However, this method requires a user to perform multiple triggering operations, which is cumbersome and user experience is not good.

In view of this, the present application provides a control method of a levitation ball. When the electronic equipment receives the sliding operation acting on the floating ball set, if the electronic equipment judges that a plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set and the sliding direction of the sliding operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen, the electronic equipment can open the floating ball through the floating window to display the application corresponding to the floating ball at the front end of the floating ball set in the interface in a centralized manner. Therefore, the user can open the floating window application or switch the currently opened floating window application through one simple sliding operation, and the operation is simple and convenient. Compared with the operation of opening the floating window application list and then selecting the floating window application, the operation is more convenient and time-consuming. When the suspension window application is opened on the interface, the next suspension ball determined according to the preset sequence is displayed at the forefront end of the suspension ball set, so that the user is reminded of the application which can be opened by the next sliding operation. Thus, the user experience may be improved overall.

Before the embodiments of the present application are described, the following description is first made:

first, the first, second and various numerical numbering in the embodiments shown below are merely for convenience of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present application. E.g. to distinguish different applications, etc.

Second, "at least one" means one or more, "a plurality" means two or more. "and/or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a alone, A and B together, and B alone, wherein A and B may be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "at least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of the singular or plural items. For example, at least one (one) of a, b, and c, may represent: a, or b, or c, or a and b, or a and c, or b and c, or a, b and c, wherein a, b and c can be single or multiple.

Third, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g.," is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion for ease of understanding.

Fourth, in the embodiments of the present application, a plurality of concepts such as "hover ball", "hover ball set", "hover ball application", "hover window application" and the like are referred to. For ease of understanding, the description is differentiated herein.

A floating window application is an application program (may be simply referred to as an application) that is opened through a floating window. After the application of the floating window is reduced, the application can be displayed on the interface in the form of a floating ball. When the plurality of suspended window applications are reduced to the suspended ball, the suspended balls corresponding to the plurality of suspended window applications are gathered together to form a suspended ball set. Individual hovercalls may be managed by the hovercall application.

In addition, if an icon displayed in a certain hover ball is an icon of a certain application, the hover ball may be called to correspond to the application, and the hover ball may be called a hover ball corresponding to the application, or referred to as "application name + hover ball" for short. For example, an icon displayed in a certain hover ball is an icon of an application, such as a browser, and the hover ball may correspond to the application, such as the hover ball corresponding to the browser, or simply referred to as a "browser" hover ball.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a control method for a levitating ball according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method may include

steps

301 and 302, and the method may be executed by a control device for the levitating ball, for example, the method may be the electronic device in fig. 1, or a component in the electronic device, such as a chip, a system-on-chip, or another module that may be used to implement part or all of its functions, which is not limited in this application. For ease of understanding, the following description will be given taking an electronic device as an example. The various steps in method 300 are described in detail below.

In step 301, a first user operation is received, where the first user operation is a sliding operation for a set of hovers.

The floating ball set is used for storing floating balls, and icons of corresponding applications are displayed in each floating ball. The sliding operation may be sliding from left to right, or from right to left.

In this application, when a user opens multiple floating window applications on an interface on an electronic device and clicks a control for reducing the floating window application to a floating ball, that is, the control 202 in fig. 2, beside the floating window application, in the manner described above, the floating window application is reduced to a floating ball and stored in a floating ball set.

When the set of hovers is displayed on the interface, the icons of the applications corresponding to the frontmost hovers can be displayed on the interface according to a preset sequence.

When the floating ball set is located on the right side of the edge of the screen, displaying the application icons corresponding to the front-most floating balls on the interface according to a first preset sequence; when the hover ball set is located on the left side of the edge of the screen, the icons of the applications corresponding to the front-most hover ball can be displayed on the interface according to a second preset sequence. It is to be understood that the first predetermined order and the second predetermined order are reversed.

Exemplarily, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram that the hovers in the hoverball set are ordered according to a preset order according to the embodiment of the present application. Three floating balls, namely a floating ball 401, a floating ball 402 and a floating ball 403, are centrally stored in the floating ball shown in fig. 4, the floating ball 401 displays an icon of a corresponding "browser" application, the floating ball 402 displays an icon of a corresponding "information" application, and the floating ball 403 displays an icon of a corresponding "gallery" application.

As shown in fig. 4 (a), when the set of hovers is located on the right side of the edge of the screen, the hovers in the set of hovers are sorted according to a first preset order, where the first preset order is: hover ball 401 → hover ball 402 → hover ball 403. It can be seen that, in the first preset order, the hover ball arranged at the forefront is the hover ball 401, and then when the hover ball set is displayed on the interface, the icon of the "browser" application corresponding to the hover ball 401 is displayed on the interface.

As shown in fig. 4 (b), when the set of hovers is located on the left side of the screen edge, the hovers in the set of hovers are sorted according to a second preset order, where the second preset order is: the levitating sphere 403 → levitating sphere 402 → levitating sphere 401. It can be known that, in the second preset order, the levitation ball arranged at the forefront is the levitation ball 403, and when the levitation ball set is displayed on the interface, the icon of the "gallery" application corresponding to the levitation ball 403 is displayed on the interface.

It should be understood that the centralized levitation ball set of fig. 4 with three levitation balls is merely an illustration, and that the centralized levitation ball set can also store a greater or lesser number of levitation balls, which is not limited in this application.

And 302, under the condition that a plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set and the sliding direction of the first user operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen, opening the application corresponding to the first floating ball in the floating ball set through the floating window on the interface, and displaying the second floating ball at the forefront end of the floating ball set.

The levitation ball is stored with a plurality of levitation balls in a centralized manner, that is, at least two levitation balls are stored in a centralized manner.

The sliding direction of the user on the set of hovers may be from left to right, from right to left, from top to bottom, or from bottom to top. The position of the hover ball collection at the edge of the screen may be to the right, left, top, or bottom of the edge of the screen. It should be understood that the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen is specifically the position adsorbed to the edge of the screen.

In this application, the correspondence between the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the hover ball set at the edge of the screen may include the following cases:

in one case, the sliding direction of the first user operation is from left to right, and the floating ball set is located at the right side of the edge of the screen, which indicates that the sliding direction of the first user operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen. In another case, the sliding direction of the first user operation is from right to left, and the floating ball set is located on the left side of the edge of the screen, which indicates that the sliding direction of the first user operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen. In another case, if the sliding direction of the first user operation is from bottom to top, and the hover ball group is located on the upper side of the edge of the screen, it means that the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the hover ball group on the edge of the screen are the same. In another case, the sliding direction of the first user operation is from top to bottom, and the floating ball set is located at the lower side of the edge of the screen, which indicates that the sliding direction of the first user operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 5, a schematic diagram of a position relationship between a sliding direction and a hover ball set is provided for an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5 (a), the floating ball set is adsorbed on the right side of the edge of the screen, and when the user slides the floating ball set from left to right, the positions of the two are consistent; as shown in fig. 5 (b), the hover ball set is attached to the left side of the edge of the screen, and if the user slides the hover ball set from right to left, the positions of the hover ball set and the user are also the same.

In this application, need satisfy simultaneously that the hoverball is concentrated and has been deposited two at least hoverballs to and when the user acted on the slide direction of hoverball collection and the unanimous two conditions in the screen edge of hoverball collection, electronic equipment just can carry out following two operations.

On one hand, the application corresponding to the first suspension ball is opened through the suspension window on the interface.

The first hover ball is the hover ball displayed at the forefront of the hover ball set before the electronic device receives the first user operation.

Illustratively, before receiving a sliding operation of the user on the hovercall set, if the hovercalls stored in the hovercall set are sorted according to a first preset order as shown in (a) of fig. 4, as described above, the hovercall displayed at the forefront of the hovercall set may be, for example, the hovercall 401, that is, the first hovercall may be the corresponding hovercall 401 applied to the "browser". If the hovers stored in the set of hovers are sorted in the second predetermined order as shown in fig. 4 (b), the hover displayed at the forefront of the set of hovers may be, for example, the hover 403, as described above. That is, the first hover ball may be the "gallery" application corresponding hover ball 403.

The operation can be specifically realized by the following modes: taking the first suspension ball out of the suspension ball set; and opening the application corresponding to the first suspension ball through the suspension window on the interface.

For example, assuming that the hovercall set is attached to the right side of the edge of the screen, the hovercall at the forefront of the hovercall set is displayed in the first preset order, such as the hovercall 401 shown in (a) of fig. 4. Then, upon receiving a sliding operation from left to right on the set of hovers, the hover 401 may be taken out of the set of hovers, and an application corresponding to the hover 401 may be opened through the hover window in the interface, i.e., a "browser" application may be opened through the hover window. Assuming that the hoverball sets are attached to the left side of the edge of the screen, the hoverballs displayed at the forefront of the hoverball sets in the second preset order are, for example, the hoverballs 403 shown in (b) of fig. 4. Then, upon receiving a right-to-left sliding operation on the set of hovers, the hovercall 403 may be taken out of the set of hovercall, and the application corresponding to the hovercall 403 may be opened in the interface through the floating window, i.e., the "gallery" application may be opened through the floating window.

It is understood that when the first levitation ball is taken out of the set of levitation balls, the number of levitation balls in the set of levitation balls is reduced by one.

On the other hand, the second hover ball is displayed at the forefront of the hover ball set.

And the second floating ball is the next floating ball of the first floating ball in the floating ball set determined according to the preset sequence.

It should be understood that if the sliding direction of the first user operation is sliding from left to right, the preset sequence is a first preset sequence; if the sliding direction of the first user operation is from right to left, the preset sequence is a second preset sequence.

For example, when the hovers in the set of hovers are sorted according to the first preset order, if the first hover is the "hover 401" shown in fig. 4 (a), the second hover is the hover 402; when the first levitation ball is the levitation ball 403 shown in fig. 4 (b), the second levitation ball is the levitation ball 402.

When the floating ball set is adsorbed on the right side of the edge of the screen, or when the floating ball set is adsorbed on the left side of the edge of the screen, only one floating ball at the forefront end of the floating ball set is displayed on the interface. Therefore, when the floating ball set is adsorbed on the right side of the edge of the screen, and the first user operates to slide from left to right, the second floating ball is displayed at the forefront end of the floating ball set according to a first preset sequence, besides the application corresponding to the first floating ball at the forefront end of the floating ball set is opened through the floating window; when the floating ball is adsorbed on the left side of the edge of the screen, and the first user operation is performed in a manner of sliding from right to left, the second floating ball is displayed at the forefront end of the floating ball set according to a second preset sequence except that the application corresponding to the first floating ball located at the forefront end of the floating ball is opened through the floating window.

For example, assume that the hover ball set is attached to the right side of the edge of the screen, the sliding direction acting on the hover ball set is from left to right, and the hover ball displayed at the forefront of the hover ball set is a "browser" hover ball. Then, the electronic device not only opens the "browser" application through the hover window, but also updates the hover ball displayed at the forefront of the hover ball set to the "information" hover ball in the first preset order as shown in (a) of fig. 4. Assuming that the floating ball set is adsorbed at the left side of the edge of the screen, the sliding direction acting on the floating ball set slides from right to left, and the floating ball displayed at the forefront of the floating ball set is a 'gallery' floating ball. Then, the electronic device not only opens the "gallery" application through the floating window, but also updates the floating ball displayed at the forefront of the floating ball set to the "information" floating ball in a second preset order as shown in (b) of fig. 4.

It should be understood that, in the present application, the suspension ball at the front end of the suspension ball set is updated, so that the electronic device can directly open the application corresponding to the suspension ball in the suspension window when receiving the first user operation next time.

As described above, the electronic device may execute the application corresponding to the first hover ball in the hover ball set by opening the hover window on the interface and display the operation of the second hover ball at the front end of the hover ball set under the two conditions that the hover balls are collectively stored, the sliding direction of the first user operation, and the position of the hover ball set at the edge of the screen are consistent.

Then, optionally, after step 301, the method may further comprise:

it is determined whether the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the set of hovers at the edge of the screen coincide.

When the electronic equipment receives the sliding operation of the user on the floating ball set, the consistency between the sliding direction of the sliding operation and the position of the floating ball set adsorbed on the edge of the screen can be further judged.

As described above, the sliding direction of the first user operation is sliding from left to right, and the floating ball set is located on the right side of the edge of the screen, or the sliding direction of the first user operation is sliding from right to left, and the floating ball set is located on the left side of the edge of the screen, or the sliding direction of the first user operation is sliding from bottom to top, and the floating ball set is located on the upper side of the edge of the screen, or the sliding direction of the first user operation is sliding from top to bottom, and the floating ball set is located on the lower side of the edge of the screen, then the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen are the same.

Accordingly, the inconsistency between the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the hover ball set at the edge of the screen may include the following situations:

in one case, the sliding direction of the first user operation is from left to right, but the hovercall is located at the left side of the edge of the screen, which indicates that the sliding direction of the first user operation is not consistent with the position of the hovercall at the edge of the screen. In another case, if the sliding direction of the first user operation is from right to left, but the hovercall is located at the right side of the edge of the screen, it indicates that the sliding direction of the first user operation is not consistent with the position of the hovercall at the edge of the screen. In another case, if the sliding direction of the first user operation is from top to bottom and the hover ball group is located above the edge of the screen, it indicates that the sliding direction of the first user operation does not coincide with the position of the hover ball group at the edge of the screen. In another case, if the sliding direction of the first user operation is from bottom to top and the floating ball set is located at the lower side of the edge of the screen, it indicates that the sliding direction of the first user operation is not consistent with the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen.

It is to be understood that when the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the set of hovers at the edge of the screen do not coincide, the electronic device may not respond to the sliding operation on the set of hovers.

Optionally, before determining whether the sliding direction of the first user operation and the position of the set of hovers at the edge of the screen coincide, the method may further comprise: and determining whether a plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set.

The electronic equipment can determine the number of the floating balls in the floating ball set before judging whether the sliding operation acted on the floating ball set by the user is consistent with the position of the floating ball set adsorbed on the edge of the screen. The number of the floating balls in the floating ball set is one, and when a first user operation is received, the corresponding application of the floating ball is directly opened on the interface through the floating window; and when receiving a first user operation, opening the application corresponding to the first levitation ball in the levitation ball set through the levitation window on the interface, and displaying the second levitation ball at the forefront end of the levitation ball set.

It should be understood that the execution sequence of the electronic device for receiving the first user operation and determining the number of the hovers in the hovers is not limited.

Optionally, after step 302, the method may further comprise:

receiving a second user operation which is a sliding operation for the floating ball set;

under the condition that a plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set, and the sliding direction of the second user operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen, the application opened through the floating window in the interface is reduced into a first floating ball and the first floating ball is put into the floating ball set;

and opening the application corresponding to the second suspension ball through the suspension window on the interface.

The application opened through the floating window in the current interface is the application corresponding to the first floating ball in the floating ball set. By sliding the floating ball again, the application with the floating window opened can be switched from the application corresponding to the first floating ball to the application corresponding to the second floating ball.

In this application, after the electronic device opens the application corresponding to the front-most suspension ball in the suspension ball set through the suspension window in the interface through the foregoing

steps

301 and 302, and updates the suspension ball displayed at the front-most end of the suspension ball set, if the sliding operation acting on the suspension ball set is received again, the application corresponding to the suspension ball displayed at the front-most end of the current suspension ball set can be reduced back to the suspension ball and stored in the suspension ball set, and the application corresponding to the suspension ball displayed at the front-most end of the current suspension ball set is opened through the suspension window in the interface, that is, the application corresponding to the updated suspension ball is displayed in the suspension window.

In other words, when the electronic device receives a sliding operation acting on the levitation ball set, if the levitation window application is already displayed in the current interface, the levitation window application is first reduced to the levitation ball, the levitation ball is stored in the levitation ball set, and then the application corresponding to the levitation ball at the forefront of the levitation ball set is displayed in the current interface through the levitation window; and if the application of the suspension window is not displayed in the current interface, directly displaying the application corresponding to the suspension ball at the forefront end of the suspension ball set in the current interface through the suspension window.

Optionally, after step 301, the method further comprises: determining that the first user operation is a sliding operation.

When the electronic device receives the first user operation, whether the first user operation is a sliding operation needs to be judged, if the first user operation is determined to be the sliding operation, the scheme provided by the application can be adopted to respond to the first user operation, specifically, the application corresponding to the first levitation ball in the levitation ball set can be opened through the levitation window on the interface, and the second levitation ball is displayed at the forefront end of the levitation ball set. If it is determined that the first user operation is not a sliding operation but a clicking operation, the first user operation may be responded to by using a current existing scheme, specifically, a floating window application list may be opened in the interface, so that the user selects an application that the user wants to open in the floating window application list, and when a clicking operation on an application in the floating window application list is received again, the application is opened through the floating window in the interface.

Based on the method, when the electronic equipment receives the sliding operation acted on the floating ball set, if the electronic equipment judges that a plurality of floating balls are stored in the floating ball set and the sliding direction of the sliding operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen, the electronic equipment can open the floating ball through the floating window to display the application corresponding to the floating ball at the front end of the floating ball set in a centralized manner in the interface. Therefore, the user can open the floating window application or switch the currently opened floating window application through one simple sliding operation, and the operation is simple and convenient. Compared with the operation of opening the floating window application list and then selecting the floating window application, the operation is more convenient and time-consuming. When the suspension window application is opened on the interface, the next suspension ball determined according to the preset sequence is displayed at the forefront end of the suspension ball set, so that the user is reminded of the application which can be opened by the next sliding operation. Thus, the user experience may be improved overall.

The following describes an exemplary method for controlling a levitation ball provided by the present application with reference to fig. 6 and 7. It should be noted that the three hovers, namely, the browser hover, the information hover and the gallery hover, are centrally stored in the hovers of fig. 6 and 7.

Fig. 6 is an interface schematic diagram of a control method for a levitation ball provided in the embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that the hovercells in the set of hovercells shown in fig. 6 are ordered according to a first preset sequence, namely, "browser" hovercell → "information" hovercell → "gallery" hovercell.

As shown in fig. 6 (a), the hoverball set is attached to the right side of the edge of the screen, and the "browser" hoverball is displayed at the forefront of the hoverball set.

If the user wants to open the browser application, the user can perform a sliding operation from left to right on the hovercall set.

As shown in fig. 6 (b), when a sliding operation of the user on the hoverball collection from left to right is received, a "browser" application is opened on the interface through the hover window, and the "information" hoverball is displayed at the forefront of the hoverball collection.

If the user wants to switch the floating window application, the sliding operation from left to right can be continuously executed on the floating ball set.

As shown in fig. 6 (c), upon receiving a sliding operation from left to right acting on the hoverball set again, the electronic device may first reduce the "browser" application displayed in the hoverball window on the interface into a hoverball and store the hoverball set, and then open the "information" application through the hoverball window on the interface. At this time, the "gallery" hover ball is displayed at the very front of the hover ball set.

If the user wants to continue switching the floating window application, the sliding operation from left to right can be continuously executed on the floating ball set.

It should be appreciated that if the user continues to perform a left-to-right swipe operation on the set of hovers, the front-most end of the set of hovers will again display the "browser" hovers.

Based on the method, when the floating ball set is located on the right side of the edge of the screen, the user can open or switch the floating window application through one simple sliding operation from left to right, and compared with the operation of opening the floating window application list and then selecting the floating window application, the operation is more convenient and faster, and the time consumption is shorter. Thus, the user experience may be improved overall.

Fig. 7 is another interface schematic diagram of a control method for a levitation ball according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that the hovercells in the set of hovercells shown in fig. 7 are ordered according to a second preset order, namely, "gallery" hovercells → "informational" hovercells → "browser" hovercells.

As shown in fig. 7 (a), assuming that the original position of the hovel set is located at the right side of the edge of the screen, if the user wants to change the position of the hovel set, the user may drag the hovel set, for example, drag the hovel set to the left side of the edge of the screen.

As shown in fig. 7 (b), the hoverball set is dragged and attracted to the left side of the screen edge, and the "gallery" hoverball is displayed at the forefront of the hoverball set.

If the user wants to open the gallery application, the user can perform a right-to-left sliding operation on the hoverball set.

As shown in fig. 7 (c), when a right-to-left sliding operation of the user on the hoverball set is received, the "gallery" application is opened through the hover window on the interface, and the "info" hoverball is displayed at the forefront of the hoverball set.

If the user wants to switch the floating window application, the sliding operation from right to left can be continuously executed on the floating ball set.

As shown in (d) of fig. 7, upon receiving a right-to-left sliding operation acting on the hoverball set again, the electronic device may first reduce the "gallery" application displayed in the hoverball window on the interface into a hoverball and store the hoverball set, and then open the "information" application through the hoverball window on the interface. At this time, the "browser" hover ball is also displayed at the very front of the hover ball set.

If the user wants to continue switching the floating window application, the sliding operation from right to left can be continuously executed on the floating ball set.

It should be appreciated that if the user continues to perform a right-to-left swipe operation on the set of hovers, the "gallery" hovers will be displayed again at the very front of the set of hovers.

Based on the method, when the floating ball set is located on the left side of the edge of the screen, the user can open or switch the floating window application through a simple right-to-left sliding operation, and compared with an operation of opening the floating window application list and then selecting the floating window application, the operation is more convenient and faster, and the time consumption is shorter. Thus, the user experience may be improved overall.

The flow shown in fig. 8 will be briefly described in conjunction with the software architecture of the electronic device.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of software interaction provided in the embodiment of the present application.

S1, the user opens the floating window application on the interface.

A user may open one or more floating window applications on an interface of the application layer.

And S2, the user reduces the opened application of the floating window into the floating ball to obtain a floating ball set.

As previously described, the user zooms out the floating window application to the hover ball by clicking on a control next to the floating window application. It should be appreciated that the hovercall may be stored in a set of hovercalls, which may store one or more hovercalls, which may be managed by the hovercall application.

And S3, determining whether the floating ball is stored with a plurality of floating balls in a centralized mode by the floating ball application.

The hover ball application may determine the number of hover balls in a set of hover balls, which may be one or more.

When the number of the hovers in the set of hovers is plural, S31 is executed. That is, the hover ball application may send a message notification that the number of hover balls in the hover ball set is multiple to an Input Management System (IMS) of the application framework layer, and after receiving the message notification, the IMS may open a hover ball set fast-switch gesture for the hover ball set and apply a feedback message to the hover ball to inform the hover ball application that the hover ball set fast-switch gesture has been opened. It should be appreciated that the hover ball collection fast-cut gesture can be understood as a hover ball collection capable of fast switching hover window applications for a user in response to a sliding operation applied to the hover ball collection by the user.

When the number of the hovers in the hover set is one, the message notification that the number of the hovers in the hover set is one is not sent to the IMS by the hover application, and the IMS does not need to open a quick switching gesture of the hover set for the hover set. In other words, as described above, when the number of the hovers in the set of hovers is one, the corresponding application of the hovers is opened directly on the interface through the floating window.

And S4, the floating ball application receives the sliding operation acted on the floating ball set by the user.

As described above, the sliding operation may be a sliding operation from left to right, a sliding operation from right to left, or a sliding operation from bottom to top, or a sliding operation from top to bottom. For example, the user may perform a left-to-right sliding operation on the set of hovers, as shown in FIG. 6, or the user may perform a right-to-left sliding operation on the set of hovers, as shown in FIG. 7. Further, the hover ball application, upon receiving a slide operation acting on the hover ball set, reports the slide event to the IMS. It should be appreciated that when a hover ball collection receives a slide operation, the hover ball application may also perceive the slide operation.

And S5, the IMS judges whether the sliding direction of the sliding operation is consistent with the position of the floating ball set on the edge of the screen or not to obtain a judgment result.

The IMS can determine the sliding direction of the sliding operation of the sliding event according to the reported sliding event.

After the sliding direction of the sliding operation is determined, the IMS can be compared with the position, adsorbed at the edge of the screen, of the floating ball set to obtain a judgment result of whether the sliding direction of the sliding operation is consistent with the position, on the edge of the screen, of the floating ball set. That is, the determination result is used to indicate whether the slide direction of the slide operation coincides with the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen.

It should be understood that the determination result may also be used to indicate the sliding direction of the sliding operation and the position of the hover ball set at the edge of the screen.

And S6, the IMS sends the judgment result to the floating ball application.

When the hovel application receives the judgment result, if the judgment result indicates that the sliding direction of the sliding operation is consistent with the position of the hovel set on the edge of the screen, S7 can be continuously executed; if the determination result indicates that the sliding direction of the sliding operation does not coincide with the position of the hovercall at the edge of the screen, S7 is not executed, that is, the hovercall does not respond to the sliding operation by the user.

And S7, the application of the floating ball opens the application corresponding to the floating ball displayed at the forefront of the floating ball set on the interface through the floating window.

In the present application, S7 can be specifically realized through S71-S73, and the following descriptions are provided for the implementation manners of S71-S73.

And S71, the floating ball application judges whether the floating window application is opened currently.

When the application of the floating window is opened on the current interface, executing S72; when the current interface does not have the floating window application open, S73 is executed.

And S72, if yes, reducing the application of the suspension window into the suspension ball stored in the suspension ball set, and opening the application corresponding to the suspension ball displayed at the forefront of the suspension ball set through the suspension window.

For example, as shown in fig. 6 (b), it is assumed that the user performs a sliding operation from left to right on the hoverball set through S4, and at this time, a "browser" application is displayed on the interface through the hover window. Then, before the application corresponding to the "information" hover ball is opened through the hover window, the "browser" application displayed through the hover window is first reduced back to the hover ball and stored in the hover ball set, and then the application corresponding to the "information" hover ball displayed at the forefront of the hover ball set is displayed through the hover window, that is, as shown in (c) of fig. 6.

And S73, if not, opening the application corresponding to the suspension ball at the front end of the suspension ball set through the suspension window.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 6, it is assumed that the user performs a sliding operation from left to right on the hoverball set through S4, while no hoverball application is displayed on the interface. Then, the hover ball application may directly display the application corresponding to the "browser" hover ball displayed at the forefront of the hover ball set through the hover window, i.e., as shown in (b) of fig. 6.

And S8, updating the suspension ball displayed at the forefront of the suspension ball set by the suspension ball application according to the judgment result.

The judgment result received by the hovercall set from the IMS is also used for indicating the sliding direction of the sliding operation and the position of the hovercall set at the edge of the screen. Therefore, the hover ball application can update the hover ball displayed at the forefront of the hover ball set according to the sliding direction indicated by the determination result and the position of the hover ball set at the edge of the screen.

In an example, in S81, when the determination result is used to indicate that the sliding direction is sliding from left to right and the hovercall is located on the right side of the edge of the screen, the hovercall displayed at the front end of the hovercall set is updated according to the first preset sequence.

For example, as shown in fig. 6 (a), when the sliding direction is sliding from left to right, the first preset order is: the 'browser' hoverball → 'information' hoverball → 'gallery' hoverball. It is assumed that the user performs a sliding operation from left to right on the hovercall set through S4, and it can be seen that the hovercall set is also located on the right side of the edge of the screen. Then, as shown in fig. 6 (b), in addition to the application of the hover ball opening the "browser" application through the hover window, the hover ball displayed at the forefront of the hover ball set is updated to the "information" hover ball in the first preset order.

In another example, in S82, when the determination result is used to indicate that the sliding direction is sliding from left to right and the hovercall set is located on the left side of the edge of the screen, the hovercall displayed at the forefront of the hovercall set is updated according to the second preset sequence.

For example, as shown in (b) of fig. 7, when the sliding direction is from right to left, the second preset order is: the 'gallery' floating ball → 'information' floating ball → 'browser' floating ball. It is assumed that the user performs a slide operation from right to left on the hovel set through S4, and it can be seen that the hovel set is also located on the left side of the edge of the screen. Then, as shown in fig. 7 (c), in addition to the application of opening the "gallery" through the floating window, the floating ball displayed at the forefront of the floating ball set is updated to the "information" floating ball in the second preset order.

Fig. 9 is a schematic software architecture diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. The architecture shown in fig. 9 divides the software into several layers, each layer having a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library, and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

The application layer may include a series of application packages. The application layer includes a system (system) User Interface (UI) and an Application (APP). Applications may include, but are not limited to, cameras, galleries, calendars, calls, maps, navigation, WLAN, bluetooth, music, video, short messages, etc.

The System UI includes hover ball (flowball) and recent task (recent task) management.

The application framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application program of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions.

As shown in fig. 9, the application framework layer may include a Window Management System (WMS), an Input Management System (IMS), a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

WMSs may also be referred to as window managers and may be used to manage window programs. The WMS can acquire the size of the display screen, judge whether a status bar exists, lock the screen, intercept the screen and the like.

The IMS can be used for monitoring all equipment nodes under the path "/dev/input/evenTX", processing the data and finding a proper window when the equipment nodes have the data, and dispatching the input event to the corresponding window.

The content provider is used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. The data may include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

The view system includes visual controls such as controls to display text, controls to display pictures, and the like. The view system may be used to build applications. The display interface may be composed of one or more views. For example, the display interface including the short message notification icon may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying pictures.

The phone manager is used to provide communication functions of the electronic device. Such as management of call status (including on, off, etc.).

The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and the like.

The notification manager enables the application to display notification information in the status bar, can be used to convey notification-type messages, can disappear automatically after a short dwell, and does not require user interaction. Such as a notification manager used to inform download completion, message alerts, etc. The notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the form of a chart or scroll bar text at the top status bar of the system, such as a notification of a background running application, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, prompting text information in the status bar, sounding a prompt tone, vibrating the electronic device, flashing an indicator light, etc.

The Android Runtime comprises a core library and a virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing an Android system.

The core library comprises two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used for performing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, safety and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. For example: surface managers (surface managers), Media Libraries (Media Libraries), three-dimensional graphics processing Libraries (e.g., OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL), and the like.

The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

The media library supports a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, and still image files, among others. The media library may support a variety of audio-video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like.

The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The inner core layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver and a sensor driver.

It should be understood that the system libraries and kernel layer, etc., below the application framework layer may be referred to as the underlying system. The underlying system includes an underlying display system for providing a display service, for example, the underlying display system includes a display driver in a kernel layer and a surface manager in a system library.

The hardware device layer is arranged below the bottom system and can provide a foundation for software running. As shown in fig. 2, the hardware device layers of the electronic device may include, but are not limited to, a power-on key, a sensor, a display screen, a fingerprint, a camera, etc.

In an embodiment of the present application, the hardware device layer includes a touch screen for receiving a touch input signal, i.e., touch operation data applied to a screen of the electronic device by a user. For example, it may be used to receive the sliding operation data or the clicking operation data described above. And the touch operation data is reported to the kernel layer.

The kernel layer comprises a touch screen driver, and the touch screen driver is used for monitoring the change of the touch operation data and reporting the change to the application framework layer.

The application framework layer comprises a device access node, an IMS and a WMS.

The device access node may specifically be dev/input/eventX, and functions of the device access node are similar to an interface, and is used for continuously reporting the touch operation data reported by the touch screen driver to the IMS.

The IMS is configured to perform gesture determination based on the touch operation data after receiving the touch operation data, that is, determine whether to be a slide event or a click event, and when determining that the slide event is a slide event, the IMS may determine a slide direction of a slide operation of the slide event and a position of the floating ball set at an edge of the screen, and may further determine a slide edge, that is, determine whether the slide direction and the position of the floating ball set at the edge of the screen are the same, and report a determination result to the WMS.

And the WMS is used for sending the judgment result to a corresponding window, determining whether the judgment result needs to be dispatched to the system UI or not by the window, and if the judgment result needs to be dispatched to the system UI, continuously dispatching the touch operation data to the system UI.

The system ui, upon receiving the touch operation data, may further determine whether the touch operation data needs to be sent to the flowball. If it needs to be sent to the floatball, it is sent to the floatball. After receiving the touch operation data, the flowball sends the touch operation data to the receiver task. The receiver task management can perform corresponding processing according to the reported touch operation data. For example, opening the APP through a floating window.
