Each will be described in detail below.

This embodiment will be described from the perspective of a split-screen application switching device. The device may be specifically integrated in an electronic device, and the electronic device may be an electronic device with an image processing function, such as a mobile interconnected network device (such as a smartphone or a tablet) device.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a split-screen application switching method according to an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:

101. When in a split-screen display state, determine from a plurality of split-screen display windows that a target split-screen display window of a split-screen application needs to be switched.

When the electronic device is in the split-screen display state, the electronic device will display multiple split-screen display windows, such as two, three, or more split-screen display windows. The position of each split-screen display window on the screen can be set according to actual needs, and each split-screen display window will display an application (hereinafter referred to as an application).

In the embodiment of the present application, the positions between multiple split-screen display windows may be set according to actual requirements. For example, multiple split-screen display windows may overlap each other or may be isolated from each other.

For example, referring to FIG. 2, when the electronic device processes the split screen display state, two split screen display windows, that is, an upper split screen display window and a lower split screen display window may be displayed. In one embodiment, left and right split screen display windows can also be displayed.

Referring to FIG. 2, the upper split-screen display window performs split-screen display of application A, and the lower split-screen display window performs split-screen display of application B.

The target split-screen display window may be a split-screen display window for which a split-screen application needs to be switched, that is, a split-screen display window for an application whose display needs to be changed. For example, referring to FIG. 2, it can be determined that the lower split-screen display window is a target split-screen display window in which a split-screen application needs to be switched, that is, an application in which the lower split-screen display window needs to be switched.

There may be multiple ways to determine the target split-screen display window. For example, in one embodiment, to prevent misoperation, when the electronic device is in the split-screen display state, only one split-screen display window is allowed for user operation. At this time, the split-screen display window that can be operated by the current user can be selected as the target split-screen display window.

For another example, in an embodiment, a split-screen display window at a predetermined position may also be selected as the target split-screen display window. For example, the position of each split-screen display window in the display screen may be obtained, and then selected at a preset position. The upper split-screen display window is the target split-screen display window. For example, the split-screen display windows located at the left, right, upper, and lower portions of the display screen are selected as the target split-screen display window. For example, referring to FIG. 2, the split-screen display window located at the lower part of the display screen may be selected as the target split-screen display window.

102. Detect a user's sliding operation on a target split-screen display window.

For example, the electronic device can detect a user's sliding operation on the target split-screen display window in real time.

For example, referring to FIG. 3, the user can perform a sliding operation on the lower split screen display window. At this time, the electronic device will detect the sliding operation, and the electronic device can obtain information about the sliding operation, such as the sliding direction, sliding track, and sliding. Duration and more.

103. When the detected sliding operation meets a preset split-screen application switching condition, determine a target application to which switching is required.

The preset split-screen application switching condition is a preset condition that triggers the split-screen application switching. The condition can be set according to actual requirements, for example, set based on related information of a sliding operation. For example, the preset split-screen switching conditions may include: the sliding operation meets the preset operating conditions; that is, the step "determine the target application to switch to when the detected sliding operation meets the preset split-screen application switching conditions", Can include:

When the detected sliding operation satisfies a preset operation condition, a target application to be switched to is determined.

The preset operating conditions may be set based on relevant operation information of the sliding operation. For example, the preset operating conditions may include a sliding direction of the sliding operation as a preset direction, a sliding track of the sliding operation as a preset track, and a sliding distance as a preset It is assumed that there is at least one of a distance and the like.

Among them, the target application is an application that needs to switch to the display of the target split-screen display window. For example, if the target split-screen display window currently displays application B and needs to switch to display application C, then at this time, application C is the target application.

The target application may be determined in multiple ways. For example, in one embodiment, an application may be selected from the background applications running in the background as the target application. For example, an application that supports the split-screen function is selected from the background applications as the target application; or an application that has the highest frequency of use or the least recently used time from the current time can be selected as the target application from the background applications.

In an embodiment, an application adjacent to the split-screen application corresponding to the target split-screen display window in the background task management may also be selected as the target application.

For another example, in one embodiment, in order to facilitate the determination of the target application and improve the flexibility and accuracy of the handover, the candidate split-screen applications may be determined first, and then the candidate split-screen applications are sorted, and then, Select the corresponding application as the target application. For example, the step "determining the target application to switch to" may include:

Determine candidate split-screen applications that support split-screen, and get a set of candidate applications;

Sort the candidate split-screen applications in the candidate application set to obtain the sorted application set;

Determine the target application to switch to from the sorted application collection.

Among them, the candidate split screen application is an application that supports a split screen function, and may include a background application running in the background and a foreground application running in the foreground. In addition, the candidate split screen applications may also include applications that are not running.

The method for determining the target application from the sorted application set may include multiple methods. For example, the corresponding target application may be selected according to the sorted position (that is, the sort order) of the candidate split-screen applications in the sorted application set. For example, you can select the application that is ranked first or last in the collection as the target application.

For example, a candidate split screen application can be determined to obtain a candidate application set {application C, application D, application E, application F}; then, the candidate application set is sorted to obtain a sorted application set {application F, application D, application E, application C}; then select the first application in the sorted application set, that is, application F as the target application to be switched to.

There are multiple ways to sort applications in the candidate application set, which can be set according to actual needs. For example, in an embodiment, in order to make the selection of the target application more consistent with the user's usage behavior, and improve the accuracy and intelligence of the handover, the selection can be based on the frequency of use of the candidate split-screen applications. That is, the step "sorting the candidate split screen applications in the candidate application set" may include:

Get the usage frequency of the candidate split-screen application;

Sort the candidate split screen applications in the candidate application set according to the frequency of use of the candidate split screen applications.

Wherein, the use frequency of the candidate split-screen application may be a historical use frequency of the candidate split-screen application used by the user within the historical time period. The usage frequency can be obtained by dividing the number of times of use by time. For example, the historical frequency of use f can be calculated from the number of times of use of the candidate split screen application in the historical time period t, where f = p / t, where p, f, and t are A positive number.

For example, a candidate split-screen application can be determined to obtain a candidate application set {application C, application D, application E, application F}; then, the frequency of use of each application fc, fd, fe, ff is obtained; and according to the frequency of use of each application The size sorts the applications in the candidate application set. For example, the applications are sorted in order of use frequency from large to small, or from small to large.

For example, a sorted application set {application F, application E, application D, application C} is obtained; then, the corresponding application is selected from the collection as the target application according to the ranking position of each application in the collection, such as selecting the sorted application collection The first application in the application is application F as the target application to be switched to.

In an embodiment, in order to make the selection of the target application more consistent with the user's usage behavior, improve the accuracy and intelligence of the handover, it can also be sorted based on the most recent use time of the candidate split-screen applications. That is, the step "sorting the candidate split screen applications in the candidate application set" may include:

Get the latest usage time of the candidate split screen application;

Sort the candidate split-screen applications in the candidate application set according to the most recent use time of the candidate split-screen applications.

The latest use time of the candidate split screen application is the use time of the candidate split screen application that is closest to the current time. For example, an application C is used by the user at time t1, t2, and t3, and the current time is t4. Assuming that t3 is closest to t4, that is, the time difference is the smallest, then at this time, the most recently used time is t3.

The sorting method based on the most recently used time can be set according to actual requirements. For example, the sorting can be based on the distance between the most recently used time and the current time. For example, sort applications by distance from small to large, or from large to small.

For example, a candidate split screen application may be determined to obtain a candidate application set {application C, application D, application E, application F}; then, the latest use time tc, td, te, tf of each application is obtained; Use the size of time (that is, the distance from the current time) to sort the applications in the candidate application set. For example, the applications are sorted in descending order of use time, or in descending order.

For example, a sorted application set {application C, application E, application D, application F} is obtained; then, the corresponding application is selected from the collection as the target application according to the ranking position of each application in the collection, such as selecting the sorted application collection The first application in the application is the application C that needs to be switched to.

In an embodiment, in order to make the selection of the target application more consistent with the user's usage behavior, improve the accuracy and intelligence of the handover, the applications can also be sorted based on the order of candidate split screen application icons in the main interface. That is, the step "sorting the candidate split screen applications in the candidate application set" may include:

Obtain the arrangement order of the application icons of the candidate split screen applications in the main interface;

Sort the candidate split-screen applications in the candidate application set according to the sorting order.

In one embodiment, the arrangement order of the candidate split screen applications in the set is consistent with the arrangement order of the application icons in the main interface.

For example, a candidate split-screen application may be determined to obtain a candidate application set {application C, application D, application E, application F}; then, referring to FIG. 4, an arrangement order in the main interface of each application {application C, application E, Application D, Application F}; and sort the applications in the candidate application set according to the sort order. For example, according to the order in which the candidate split screen applications are arranged in the set, and the order in which the application icons are arranged in the main interface are sorted.

After sorting, you can get the sorted application set {application C, application E, application D, application F}; then, select the corresponding application from the collection as the target application according to the ranking position of each application in the collection, such as selecting the sorted application The first application in the set, that is, application C, is the target application to be switched to.

In the embodiment of the present application, in obtaining the sorted application set, there can be multiple ways to select a target application from the set. For example, in one embodiment, the sorted position (that is, permutation) of the candidate split-screen application in the set can be based on (Sequence) Select the target application. For example, select the top application such as the first application as the target application.

For another example, in order to improve the flexibility of the target application selection, in one embodiment, the needs can also be determined from the sorted application set based on the sliding direction of the sliding operation and the sorted position of the candidate split-screen application in the sorted application set. Switch the displayed target application.

Specifically, the corresponding target sorting position can be determined based on the sliding direction of the sliding operation; a candidate split-screen application at the target sorting position is selected as the target application from the sorted application set.

For example, a mapping relationship between a sliding direction and a sorting position may be established in advance, and a corresponding sorting position may be subsequently determined based on the mapping relationship and a sliding direction of a sliding operation. For example, when sliding to the left, the application ranked first is selected. At this time, the ranking position is the first position in the collection. When sliding to the right, the application ranked at the end is selected. At this time, the ranking position is the end position of the collection.

For example, referring to FIG. 5, the following split-screen display window is the target split-screen window as an example. After sorting, a sorted application set {application E, application C, application D, application F} can be obtained; when the sliding direction of the sliding operation is horizontal The left direction, that is, when the user slides to the left of the screen, the first application in the sorted application set, that is, application E, can be selected as the target application to be switched to; and application E is displayed in the lower split screen display window. When the sliding direction of the sliding operation is horizontal to the right, that is, when the user swipes to the right of the screen, the last application in the sorted application set, that is, application F, can be selected as the target application to be switched to, and displayed on the lower split screen. The window displays application F.

104. Switch the split-screen application displayed on the target split-screen display window to the target application.

Specifically, the split-screen application displayed in the target split-screen display window may be switched to the target application, and the target application may be displayed in the target split-screen display window.

For example, referring to FIG. 3, the following split-screen display window is the target split-screen display window as an example. The application displayed in the lower split-screen display window can be switched from the original application B to the application C; and the application C is displayed.

Specifically, the split screen processing process corresponding to the target split screen display window may be determined, and the split screen application currently processed by the split screen processing process is switched to the target application.

It should be understood that although the embodiment of the present application introduces the method of the present application in the case of splitting into two split-screen display windows in the split-screen display state, the application is not limited to the scenario where the split-screen is divided into two display windows. It is applicable to the scenario where the screen is divided into two or more such as three or four display windows. The specific implementation is the same as or similar to the implementation of dividing into two display windows. You can refer to the above content and will not repeat them here.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may be any intelligent electronic device capable of running applications, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, and a personal digital assistant. PDA for short, Mobile Internet Device (MID) or Wearable Device.

As can be seen from the above, when the multi-screen display state is used in the embodiment of the present application, the target multi-screen display window that needs to switch the multi-screen application is determined from the multiple multi-screen display windows; and the user's sliding operation on the target multi-screen display window is detected; When the detected sliding operation satisfies a preset split screen application switching condition, a target application to be switched to is determined; the split screen application displayed in the target split screen display window is switched to the target application. This solution can switch between split-screen applications based on the user's sliding operation, eliminating the need for users to perform tedious operations. Realize the split-screen application switching of the split-screen display window, and improve the efficiency of split-screen application switching.

Referring to FIG. 7, the left split-screen display window performs split-screen display of application A, and the right split-screen display window performs split-screen display of application B.

For another example, in an embodiment, a split-screen display window at a predetermined position may also be selected as the target split-screen display window. For example, the position of each split-screen display window in the display screen may be obtained, and then selected at a preset position. The upper split-screen display window is the target split-screen display window. For example, the split-screen display windows located at the left, right, upper, and lower portions of the display screen are selected as the target split-screen display window. For example, referring to FIG. 7, the split-screen display window located at the left part of the display screen may be selected as the target split-screen display window.

202. The electronic device detects a user's sliding operation with respect to the target split-screen display window.

For example, after determining the target split-screen display window, the electronic device can start an operation monitoring thread to monitor the operation of the target split-screen display window in real time.

203. When the detected sliding operation meets a preset split-screen application switching condition, the electronic device determines a candidate split-screen application that supports split-screen, and obtains a set of candidate applications.

The preset split-screen application switching condition is a preset condition that triggers the split-screen application switching. The condition can be set according to actual requirements, for example, set based on related information of a sliding operation. For example, the preset split screen should switch conditions may include: the sliding operation meets the preset operation conditions.

For example, the electronic device can obtain the use frequency of the candidate split-screen applications; and sort the candidate split-screen applications in the candidate application set according to the use frequency of the candidate split-screen applications.

In an embodiment, in order to make the selection of the target application more consistent with the user's usage behavior, improve the accuracy and intelligence of the handover, it can also be sorted based on the most recent use time of the candidate split-screen applications. For example, the electronic device can obtain the latest use time of the candidate split-screen application; and sort the candidate split-screen applications in the candidate application set according to the latest use time of the candidate split-screen application.

In an embodiment, in order to make the selection of the target application more consistent with the user's usage behavior, improve the accuracy and intelligence of the handover, the applications can also be sorted based on the arrangement order of the candidate split-screen application icons in the main interface. For example, the electronic device can obtain the arrangement order of the application icons of the candidate split-screen applications on the main interface; and sort the candidate split-screen applications in the candidate application set according to the arrangement order.

205. The electronic device determines a target application to be switched from the sorted application set.
