Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical means and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an association display method of an application program in the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
step 201, setting and saving the association relationship between the application programs in the system in advance.
The association relationship between different application programs can be set in a system default configuration or a user-defined mode. The association relationship between the applications may be bidirectional (that is, the applications included in the association relationship are associated with each other), and the association relationship may include two or more applications. For example, one established association relationship comprises an agenda application, a mailbox application and a short message application, and the three applications are in association relationship with each other, wherein the association application of the agenda is a mailbox and a short message, the association application of the mailbox is the agenda and the short message, and the association application of the short message is the agenda and the mailbox; alternatively, the established association relationship between the applications may also be one-way, and the association relationship may also include two or more applications. For example, one relationship established is: the agenda application comprises two associated applications, namely a mailbox application and a short message application.
Step 202, the terminal device starts a preset associated application corresponding to the currently displayed application.
Assuming that a current application a, i.e. a currently displayed application, is displayed on a screen of the terminal device, the terminal device may automatically start an associated application corresponding to the application a, or may start the associated application when a certain condition is satisfied. For example, the associated application may be started after receiving an instruction for activating the associated application, which is input by a user; or, the associated application starting state can be selected in the system configuration, and after the system determines that the starting state item is selected, the associated application is started for the current application a displayed on the screen.
The instruction for activating the associated application, which is input by the user, may be set as required, for example, a certain button of the terminal device may be pressed, or a menu may be popped up by long pressing a specific area on the interface where the application a is currently displayed, and the instruction for activating the associated application may be selected by the user from the popped-up menu.
If there are a plurality of associated applications currently displaying the application a, all the associated applications may be started, or associated applications designated by a user or associated applications default by the system, and the like. The associated application designated by the user may be a specific associated application selected when an instruction for activating the associated application is selected in the aforementioned pop-up menu.
In the above activating correlation process, there is no requirement on the sequence of opening the applications. For example, when application 1 and application 2 are applications associated with each other, application 2 associated therewith may be opened in the application 1 interface. Meanwhile, in the application 2 interface, the application 1 associated with the interface can be opened.
And 203, acquiring output associated information from the current display application, determining the display content of the associated application according to the information content, and displaying the display content and the current display application on a screen at the same time.
After the associated application B is started, the display content of the associated application needs to be determined. The output associated information can be acquired from the current display application in a preset mode and is transmitted to the associated application, and the associated application determines the display content of the current associated application according to the received output associated information. Here, the output associated information may be information selected by the user in the currently displayed application or input information of an application-specific input box.
After the display content of the associated application B is determined, the associated application is simultaneously displayed on the screen together with the currently displayed application a. The display layouts of the associated application B and the current display application a may be set individually, or may also be set by default. In the running process of the two programs, the display proportions of the associated application B and the current display application A can be adjusted at any time according to the instruction of a user.
And 204, receiving the modification of the current display application/output associated information in the associated application by the user, and updating the display content of the associated application/the current display application according to the modified output associated information.
After the current display application A and the associated application B are displayed and operated simultaneously, synchronous updating of the display content can be carried out. Specifically, the current display application and the associated application are both provided with corresponding output associated information, the terminal device detects modification of the output associated information in the current display application a or the associated application B by a user, and then updates the display content of the associated application B or the current display application a correspondingly according to the modified output associated information. That is, the display content of the associated application B is updated according to the modified output associated information of the current display application a; and updating the display content of the current display application A according to the modified output association information of the association application B. The output related information of the currently displayed application and the associated application may be set to be the same or different, and for example, may be both set to be information selected by the user, or the output related information of the currently displayed application may be set to be information selected by the user and the output related information of the associated application may be set to be input information of a designated input box in the associated application.
The overall process flow in the present application ends.
The following description is made of specific implementations of the present application by way of several specific examples.
The first embodiment is as follows:
in this embodiment, the map application and the browser application are set as applications associated with each other, and the specific associated application display method includes:
step 1, starting a map application in the running of a browser application, and determining the display content of the map application according to user selection information;
when the browser runs, a certain entry in a webpage, such as 'Wangfu well restaurant', is selected, the entry is touched for a long time, then a map search function is selected in a popped function selection menu, and an activation instruction of an associated map application is input. After receiving the instruction, the terminal device starts a map application and acquires output associated information of the browser application, wherein the output associated information is information selected by a user, namely 'Wangfjing big restaurant', in the map application, a map search window is opened, related position information of the 'Wangfjing big restaurant' is searched, and the position information searched by the map is displayed above/below the browser window.
Here, the two applications of the map and the browser are associated. In the browser interface, a map associated therewith may be opened. Meanwhile, in the map interface, a browser associated with the map interface can be opened. For example, the "wangfujing restaurant" may be selected in the map page, touched for a long time, and then the web search function may be selected in the function selection item, that is, the activation instruction of the browser application may be input. And acquiring and outputting associated information 'Wangfujing big restaurant', opening a webpage search window, searching related contents, and displaying the related contents on the upper part/lower part of the map application.
And 2, simultaneously displaying the map and the browser on a terminal screen, wherein each window initially occupies half of the screen. And adjusting the display proportion of the two programs by sliding the boundary up and down at the intersection of the two associated application interfaces by using fingers.
Step 3, synchronously updating the display content of the map and the browser;
when the user selects another vocabulary in the browser, the vocabulary information is transmitted to the map in real time as output associated information, so that the map position information associated with the vocabulary information is synchronously updated. And conversely, when the user selects a certain vocabulary in the map, the vocabulary information is transmitted to the browser in real time as output associated information, so that the webpage content of the browser associated with the vocabulary information is synchronously updated.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, if "wang fu jing big restaurant" is selected in the web page, the map displays the corresponding location information of "wang fu jing big restaurant"; when the net heart lotus is selected in the webpage, the position information of the net heart lotus is automatically searched and displayed in the map. Similarly, if the 'Wangfujing big restaurant' is selected in the map, the corresponding search information of the 'Wangfujing big restaurant' can be displayed in the webpage; when the net heart lotus is selected in the map, the search information of the net heart lotus is automatically searched and displayed in the webpage.
Example two:
in this embodiment, the dictionary application and the browser application or the mailbox application are set as associated applications, and the specific associated application display method includes:
step 1, activating a mailbox/browser page from the dictionary and determining display content.
And selecting a certain vocabulary such as 'overflow' in the dictionary operation page, touching for a long time, and then selecting a mailbox/browser search function in a popup function selection item. A mailbox/browser search window may be opened and mail/browser search results associated with the vocabulary may be found and displayed above/below the dictionary page.
Here the dictionary is associated with the mailbox/browser. In the dictionary interface, a mailbox/browser associated therewith may be opened. Meanwhile, in a mailbox/browser interface, a dictionary associated with the mailbox/browser interface can be opened. For example, the "overflow" may be selected in the mailbox/browser page, touched for a long time, and then the dictionary translation function may be selected in the pop-up function selection menu. The dictionary translation window can be opened and displayed above/below the mailbox/browser application.
And 2, simultaneously displaying two windows of the dictionary and the mailbox/browser on a terminal screen, wherein each window initially occupies half of the screen. Adjusting the display scale of the two programs by sliding the boundary up and down at the intersection of the two associated application interfaces with a finger).
Step 3, synchronously updating the display content
When another vocabulary in the dictionary is selected, the vocabulary information is transmitted to the mailbox/browser in real time, and the mailbox/browser search results associated with the vocabulary information are changed synchronously. The same is true for the reverse.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, if "overflow" is selected in the dictionary, the mailbox/web page will display the corresponding mail/search information of "overflow"; when "any" is selected in the dictionary, the mailbox/webpage will automatically search and display the relevant information of "any". Similarly, if "overflow" is selected in the mailbox/webpage, the dictionary will display the corresponding query information of "overflow"; when "any" is selected in the mailbox/webpage, the dictionary can automatically search and display the corresponding information of "any".
Example three:
in this embodiment, the agenda application and the mailbox application or the short message application are set as associated applications, and the specific associated application display method includes:
step 1, activating a mailbox/short message application on an agenda interface and determining display contents;
selecting a certain date such as '3 month and 15 number' in the agenda list interface, touching for a long time, and then selecting a mailbox/short message search function in a pop-up function selection menu. The mail box/short message window can be opened, and the mails, short messages and the like of the day of 'No. 3/15' can be found and displayed on the upper part/lower part of the mail box/short message window.
Here, the agenda is associated with a mailbox/short message. In the agenda interface, the associated mailbox/short message can be opened. Meanwhile, in the mailbox/short message interface, the agenda associated with the mailbox/short message interface can be opened. For example, the "3/15/long touch" may be selected in the mailbox/short message page, and then the agenda function may be selected in the function selection menu. The agenda list window can be opened, the agenda arrangement of the day of '3 month and 15 th' can be found, and the agenda arrangement can be displayed on the upper/lower part of the mailbox/short message page.
And 2, simultaneously displaying an agenda window and an email/short message window on a terminal screen, wherein each window initially occupies half of the screen. Adjusting the display scale of the two programs by sliding the boundary up and down at the intersection of the two associated application interfaces with a finger).
Step 3, synchronously updating the display content;
when the user selects another date in the agenda list, the date information is transmitted to the mailbox/short message in real time, so that the mailbox/short message search result related to the date information is updated synchronously. The same is true for the reverse.
For example, as shown in fig. 5, if "No. 3/month 15" is selected in the agenda table, the relevant content information of the sending and receiving of "No. 3/month 15" in the mailbox/short message is displayed; and when the agenda table selects 'No. 16/3 month', the related mailbox/short message information of 'No. 16/3 month' can be automatically searched and displayed. Similarly, if a certain time point is selected from the mailbox/short message as 09:40, the corresponding agenda information of the day 09:40 in the agenda list is displayed; and when the E-mail/short message selects '11: 20', the corresponding agenda information of the day '09: 40' in the agenda list is automatically displayed.
The foregoing is a specific implementation of the application program association display method in the present application. In the above embodiments, the established association relationship is taken as a bidirectional example for explanation, and in fact, the concrete implementation of the unidirectional association relationship is the same, and only the unidirectional association relationship is performed when the association application is started, and the bidirectional association relationship is not performed. For example, assume that an association is established as: the associated application of the agenda application is a mailbox application or a short message application; and the associated application of the mailbox application or the short message application is not set in the system as the agenda application. Then, on the interface of the agenda application, when the associated application is started by selecting the text content in the agenda application, the mailbox application or the short message application may be started, but since the agenda application is not the associated application of the mailbox application or the short message application, the agenda application cannot be started on the interface of the mailbox application or the short message application.
The application also provides a terminal device which can be used for implementing the association display method. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a basic structure of a terminal device in the present application. As shown in fig. 6, the terminal device includes: the device comprises a related application starting unit, an output related information acquisition unit and a display content determining and displaying unit.
The relevant application starting unit is used for starting a preset relevant application corresponding to the current display application and informing the output relevant information acquisition unit.
The output associated information acquisition unit is used for acquiring output associated information from the current display application after receiving the notification of the associated application starting unit and sending the output associated information to the display content determining and displaying unit; and the display content determining and displaying unit is also used for receiving the modification of the output associated information in the current display application/associated application by the user and sending the modified output associated information to the display content determining and displaying unit.
The display content determining and displaying unit is used for receiving the output associated information of the output associated information acquiring unit, determining the display content of the associated application according to the output associated information, and displaying the display content and the current display application on a screen at the same time; and the display device is also used for receiving the modified output associated information in the current display application/associated application sent by the output associated information acquisition unit, updating the display content of the associated application/current display application according to the modified output associated information and displaying the updated display content.
Further, to implement the setting and saving of the association relationship on the terminal device, the terminal device may further include an association relationship saving unit for saving the association relationship between the applications set by the system or the user.
When the number of the associated applications of the currently displayed application is multiple, the associated application starting unit may be further configured to start all associated applications of the currently displayed application or associated applications designated by a user or associated applications default to the system.
In addition, in order to control whether to update the display of the associated application or the current application according to the user input or selection, the terminal device may further include an associated application activation unit configured to notify the display content determination and display unit to perform an update operation after receiving an associated application activation instruction input by the user or when determining that the system configuration of the terminal device is in an associated application start state.
When the content display of the associated application and the current display application is performed, preferably, the display content determining and displaying unit may display the current display application and the associated application according to a preset display scale, and after receiving an instruction of a user to adjust the display scale, is configured to adjust the display scale according to the instruction.
According to the terminal equipment and the associated display method of the application program thereof, the associated content between different applications can be synchronously displayed and updated. The applications which are mutually related can be displayed on the screen at the same time, and the window size proportion of different applications can be adjusted. The association relationship between the applications may have a two-way association, i.e., there is an association between two applications 1 and 2; in the application 1 interface, an application 2 associated therewith can be activated; meanwhile, in the application 2 interface, the application 1 associated with the interface can be opened; alternatively, the association relationship between the applications may be set to be only one-way. Meanwhile, the content is displayed synchronously between the mutually related applications. Specifically, if the selected area in the application 1 changes, the information of the selected area is transmitted to the associated application 2 in real time, and the display content of the associated application 2 is automatically updated. And vice versa.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
