The memory burden or the operation burden of the user is greatly reduced, convenience is brought to the user, and the user experience is improved.

The technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention is specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The intelligent terminal of the embodiment of the invention can be terminal equipment such as an intelligent mobile phone, a tablet personal computer and the like. A schematic diagram of a framework of an internal structure of the intelligent terminal is shown in fig. 1, and includes: a host system 101 and at least two operating systems.

The application scenario of the embodiment of the invention is kernel lightweight virtualization realized based on a Linux Container virtualization technology and a multi-isolation system realized based on the virtualization technology.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the operating system may be a Linux operating system or a Unix operating system in the conventional sense, or an Android system, an Ubuntu system, a Meego system, or the like derived based on the Linux operating system; the multi-isolation system realized based on the Linux Container virtualization technology is an operating system of the above kind that can run on the intelligent terminal.

Both of the at least two operating systems described above may specifically be container-based operating systems (hereinafter referred to simply as container systems). The container system may be arranged according to the following method: more than two containers are created in the intelligent terminal by utilizing a Linux container virtualization technology, and one operating system is installed and operated in each container. Each container is configured with an independent hardware resource access authority configuration, and the container system can independently access hardware resources, such as CPUs, IO (input output) devices, and the like. The container system can be configured with a set of independent complete system programs and application programs; thereby isolating the container systems from each other.

The main control system 101 includes a kernel, a main management program and a multi-system control program. The kernel may specifically be a Linux-based kernel, such as kernel. The main control system 101 is mainly used for performing foreground and background switching on the container systems, transmitting information between the container systems, and the like, and specific functions are described in detail later.

In the intelligent terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention, the identifier and the identification code of each container system are stored in advance and are shared by the main control system 101 and each container system. For example, the identification codes 1 and 2 of the container system are respectively stored corresponding to the identifications android and syberos of the container system; the identification code 5 of the container system is stored corresponding to the identification all representing all the container systems in the intelligent terminal. The master control system 101 and each container system may access the corresponding stored identification and identification codes of the container system.

Preferably, in the main control system 101 or each container system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the identifier and the identification code of each container system in the intelligent terminal may be respectively stored in advance.

The following takes the first container system 102 and the second container system 103 in the multi-container system of the embodiment of the present invention as an example, and specifically describes the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention.

Before the intelligent terminal implements the cross-system application control method, for the application to be installed in the second container system 103, the shortcut application corresponding to the application is determined, and the identifier of the determined shortcut application and the identifier of the application are correspondingly stored.

Preferably, the intelligent terminal may use an identifier (e.g. name) of the application as an identifier of the shortcut application, that is, the application and the corresponding shortcut application have the same identifier.

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for setting icons of shortcut applications corresponding to applications of a second container system 103 in a desktop of a first container system 102, wherein a flow chart of the method is shown in fig. 2 and comprises the following steps:

s201: when the application is installed in the second container system 103, the identification code of the first container system 102 is taken as the identification code of the target system according to the user setting information or the predetermined policy, and is packaged into a data packet together with the installation request of the shortcut application and sent to the master control system 101.

Specifically, when the second container system 103 receives an installation request for installing an application into the system, user setting information or a predetermined policy pre-stored in the intelligent terminal is acquired, and whether the user setting information or the predetermined policy relates to the application is determined.

Wherein, the user setting information or the predetermined policy may include: the shortcut application corresponding to the application is installed into the first container system 102. Preferably, the user setting information or the predetermined policy may include: a shortcut application that identifies a correspondence to the identification of the application is installed into the first container system 102.

And when the determination result is that the application is involved in time, the second container system 103 installs the application into the system according to the installation package of the application, and searches out the identifier of the shortcut application corresponding to the application from the identifier of the application and the identifier of the shortcut application which are pre-stored in the intelligent terminal correspondingly. At this point, the second container system 103 may determine that the application supports cross-system control.

When the determination result is that the application is not involved, the second container system 103 may install the application into the system according to the installation package of the application, without searching for the identifier of the shortcut application corresponding to the application. At this point, the second container system 103 may determine that the application does not support cross-system control.

Alternatively, the second container system 103 may attempt to resolve the identification of the shortcut application corresponding to the application from the installation package of the application.

When the second container system 103 analyzes the identifier of the shortcut application corresponding to the application from the installation package of the application, it can be determined that the application supports cross-system control; conversely, it may be determined that the application does not support cross-system control.

The second container system 103 generates an installation request of the shortcut application according to the identification of the application or the identification of the shortcut application corresponding to the application. Preferably, the second container system 103 carries the identity of the application, or the identity of the shortcut application, in the installation request of the shortcut application.

The second container system 103 finds the identification code of the first container system 102 based on the user setting information or the identification of the first container system 102 related to the predetermined policy.

The second container system 103 packages the identification code of the first container system 102 as the identification code of the target system together with the installation request of the shortcut application in a data packet and transmits the data packet to the master control system 101.

Preferably, the second container System 103 packages the identifier of the first container System 102 as the identifier of the target System, together with the installation request of the shortcut application, into a data packet, and then calls a container service (container-service) module or a System manager (System-manager) in the second container System 103; the container service module or the system manager sends the packet to the ncm (namespace container master) device node of the host system 101 through the ncs (namespace container slave) device node of the second container system 103. The ncs and ncm device nodes can be represented as/dev/ncs and/dev/ncm files.

S202: the main control system 101 receives the data packet, and sends an installation request of the shortcut application in the received data packet to the first container system 102 according to the identification code of the target system in the received data packet.

Specifically, after receiving the data packet sent by the second container system 103 in step S201, the main control system 101 analyzes the identification code of the first container system 102, which is the identification code of the target system, and the installation request of the shortcut application from the received data packet.

The main control system 101 sends the installation request of the parsed shortcut application to the first container system 102 according to the parsed identification code of the first container system 102.

Preferably, the master control system 101 determines the identifier of the first container system 102 corresponding to the analyzed identifier of the first container system 102; and sending the installation request of the analyzed shortcut application to the first container system 102 according to the identification of the first container system 102.

Preferably, a Master-manager module in the Master system 101 listens to ncm device nodes in the Master system 101. After the main management module receives the data packet sent by the second container system 103 through ncm device nodes, the identification code of the first container system 102 serving as the identification code of the target system and the installation request of the shortcut application are analyzed from the received data packet; and sending the installation request of the analyzed shortcut application to the ncs equipment node in the first container system 102 according to the analyzed identification code of the first container system 102.

S203: the first container system 102 installs an icon of the shortcut application in a desktop of the first container system 102 according to the received installation request of the shortcut application.

The first container system 102 stores in advance installation packages of a plurality of shortcut applications. The installation package of the shortcut application comprises the following components: an icon of the shortcut application.

For the shortcut application corresponding to the application in the second container system 103, the icon of the shortcut application specifically includes: a LOGO of the second container system 103, and a word representing the name of the application. For example, icons for shortcut applications include: LOGO as syberos of the second container system 103, and "secure note" indicating a name of an application in the syberos.

The first container system 102 correspondingly stores, for each shortcut application, an identification of the shortcut application, an identification of an application corresponding to the shortcut application, and an installation package of the shortcut application.

In this step, after receiving the installation request of the shortcut application sent by the main control system 101, the first container system 102 analyzes the identifier of the shortcut application from the installation request.

Or, the first container system 102 parses the identifier of the application from the installation request, and determines the identifier of the shortcut application corresponding to the identifier of the application from the identifiers of the corresponding stored applications and the identifiers of the shortcut applications.

The first container system 102 determines a pre-stored installation package corresponding to the identifier of the shortcut application according to the identifier of the shortcut application in the installation request or the determined identifier of the shortcut application.

The first container system 102 installs the shortcut application corresponding to the application in the second container system 103 into the first container system 102 according to the determined installation package, and sets the icon of the shortcut application into the desktop of the first container system 102.

Preferably, first container system 102 invokes its container service module to listen for ncs device nodes in first container system 102. After receiving an installation request of a shortcut application sent to the ncs device node by the main control system 101 through the container service module, the first container system 102 analyzes an identifier of the shortcut application from the installation request, or determines the identifier of the shortcut application according to information analyzed from the installation request; further determining an installation package corresponding to the identifier of the shortcut application; and installing the shortcut application corresponding to the application in the second container system 103 into the first container system 102 according to the determined installation package, and setting the icon of the shortcut application into the desktop of the first container system 102.

Those skilled in the art can understand that through the above steps S201 to S203, the intelligent terminal in the embodiment of the present invention installs an application in the second container system 103; a shortcut application corresponding to an application in the second container system 103 is installed in the first container system 102, and an icon of the shortcut application is set on a desktop of the first container system 102. Since the icon of the shortcut application includes LOGO of the second container system 103 and text representing the name of the application, the user can easily recognize that the icon of the shortcut application corresponds to the application in the second container system 103.

Based on the application installed in the second container system 103 and the shortcut application installed in the first container system 102 and corresponding to the application, the embodiment of the present invention provides a cross-system application control method, a flowchart of which is shown in fig. 3a, and includes the following steps:

s301: the first container system 102 runs a display desktop; icons of shortcut applications corresponding to the applications in the second container system 103 are arranged in the desktop; and after receiving the click event of the icon of the shortcut application, operating the shortcut application.

Specifically, when the first container system 102 is in foreground operation, a desktop of the first container system 102 is displayed on a screen of the intelligent terminal; icons of shortcut applications corresponding to the applications in the second container system 103 are provided in the desktop.

Wherein the icon of the shortcut application includes a LOGO of the second container system 103 and a text indicating a name of the application, which is convenient for the user to recognize that the icon corresponds to the application in the second container system 103.

The first container system 102 starts the running shortcut application after receiving a click event for an icon of the shortcut application, which is input by a user, through a touch device in the intelligent terminal.

Preferably, after acquiring the designated gesture input by the user through a camera in the intelligent terminal, the first container system 102 confirms that a click event for an icon of the shortcut application input by the user is received, and starts to run the shortcut application.

Preferably, after the first container system 102 collects a designated moving track made by the user carrying the intelligent terminal through a sensor in the intelligent terminal, it confirms that a click event for an icon of the shortcut application input by the user is received, and starts to run the shortcut application.

S302: the shortcut application in the first container system 102 packages the identifiers of the first and second container systems as identifiers of the source system and the target system, respectively, together with the start command of the application into a data packet, and sends the data packet to the main control system 101.

The first container system 102 starts the running shortcut application in step S301, determines the identifier of the application corresponding to the identifier of the shortcut application in this step, and carries the determined identifier of the application in the start command of the application.

The data packet in the embodiment of the invention comprises: an identification code of the source system, an identification code of the target system, and the content.

The shortcut application packages the identification codes of the first container system 102 and the second container system 103 as the identification codes of the source system and the target system, respectively, together with a start command of the application as the content into a data packet, and transmits the data packet to the main control system 101.

Preferably, the shortcut application calls a container service module in the first container system 102, and the container service module sends the data packet in this step to the ncm device node in the main control system 101 through the ncs device node in the first container system 102.

Preferably, after the shortcut application packages the data packet, the container service invocation request is sent to the first container system 102. After receiving the container service calling request of the shortcut application, the first container system 102 calls a container service module 522; the data packet encapsulated by the shortcut application is sent to the ncm device node in the main control system 101 through the ncs device node in the first container system 102.

S303: the main control system 101 receives the data packet, switches the first container system 102 from the foreground to the background according to the identification codes of the source system and the target system in the received data packet and the start command of the application, and sends the start command of the application to the second container system 103 after switching the second container system 103 to the foreground.

Specifically, the master control system 101 receives the data packet transmitted by the first container system 102.

Preferably, the master control system 101 receives the data packet sent by the first container system 102 through the ncm device node in the master control system 101 according to its master management module.

After analyzing the identification codes of the source system and the target system from the received data packet, the main control system 101 determines the identification of the first container system 102 corresponding to the identification code of the source system and the identification of the second container system 103 corresponding to the identification code of the target system according to the identification and the identification code of the container system which are stored correspondingly in advance.

Preferably, when the master control system determines that the identifier of the container system corresponding to the identifier of the source system in the data packet is the identifier of the first container system 102, it determines that the data packet sent by the first container system 102 is received.

The kernel master control system 101 searches for pre-recorded foreground and background information of the first container system 102 and the second container system 103 according to the application start command parsed from the received data packet.

After determining that the first container system 102 and the second container system 103 are respectively located in the foreground and the background according to the search result, the main control system 101 sends the start command of the application parsed from the received data packet to the second container system 103 according to the identifier of the second container system 103 serving as the target system.

Preferably, after the main control system 101 determines that the first container system 102 and the second container system 103 are respectively located in the foreground and the background, the main management module in the main control system 101 is called according to the identifier of the second container system 103 serving as the target system; the main management module sends the start command of the application in the data packet to the ncs device node in the second container system 103 through the ncm device node in the main control system 101.

S304: the second container system 103 starts the application according to the received start command.

Specifically, the second container system 103 receives a start command of the application transmitted by the master control system 101.

Preferably, the second container system 103 receives, according to the container service module thereof, a start command of the application sent by the main control system 101 through the ncs device node in the second container system 103.

The second container system 103 parses the identifier of the application from the received start command of the application, and starts to run the application according to the parsed identifier.

Preferably, after the second container system 103 is switched from the background to the foreground in step S303 and before the running application is started, a screen locking interface is displayed on the screen of the smart terminal, and an unlocking password dialog box is displayed in the screen locking interface. The second container system 103 verifies the received password after receiving the password input by the user through an unlocking password dialog box in the screen locking interface, and starts running the application if the received password passes the verification; and if the verification fails, stopping starting the application and prompting the user. Therefore, the application in the second container system 103 can be prevented from being called under the condition of not obtaining the authorization of the user, and the safety of starting and running of the application in the second container system 103 is improved.

Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the second container system 103 starts the application, the application may be further controlled, a flowchart of the control method is shown in fig. 3b, and after the steps S301 to S304, the following steps are further included:

s305: after the application is finished, the second container system 103 packages the identification codes of the first and second container systems as the identification codes of the target system and the source system together with the application finishing information into a data packet and returns the data packet to the master control system 101.

Specifically, the second container system 103 generates application end information for the application after the application started to run in the above step S305 is ended and exited. Preferably, the second container system 103 carries the identification of the application in the application end information.

The second container system 103 packages the identification codes of the first container system 102 and the second container system 103 as identification codes of a target system and a source system together with the application end information into a data packet and returns the data packet to the master control system 101.

Preferably, the second container system 103 calls the container service module in the second container system 103 after the data packet in this step is encapsulated; the container service module sends the data packet to the ncm device node in the master control system 101 through the ncs device node of the second container system 103.

S306: the main control system 101 receives the data packet, switches the second container system 103 to the background and switches the first container system 102 to the foreground according to the identification codes of the source system and the target system and the application end information in the received data packet.

Specifically, the master control system 101 receives the data packet transmitted by the second container system 103.

Preferably, the master control system 101 receives the data packet sent by the second container system 103 through the ncm device node in the master control system 101 according to its master management module.

After analyzing the identification codes of the source system and the target system from the received data packet, the main control system 101 determines the identification of the second container system 103 corresponding to the identification code of the source system and the identification of the first container system 102 corresponding to the identification code of the target system according to the identification and the identification code of the container system which are stored correspondingly in advance.

Preferably, when the master control system determines that the identifier of the container system corresponding to the identifier of the source system in the data packet is the identifier of the second container system 103, it determines that the data packet sent by the second container system 103 is received.

The main control system 101 searches for the pre-recorded foreground and background information of the first container system 102 and the second container system 103 according to the application end information parsed from the received data packet.

After the main control system 101 determines that the first container system 102 and the second container system 103 are respectively located in the background and the foreground according to the search result, the second container system 103 is switched to the background, and the first container system 102 is switched to the foreground.

Those skilled in the art can understand that after the step S306 is completed, the first container system 102 in the smart terminal, which is located in the foreground, runs a desktop on which the system is displayed, and an icon of a shortcut application corresponding to an application in the second container system 103 is set in the desktop, so that a user can conveniently run an application in the second container system 103 by selecting the icon.

Preferably, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for the second container system 103 to deliver an update message of an application to the shortcut application of the first container system 102 before the second container system 103 receives a start command of the application, where a flowchart of the method is shown in fig. 4, and includes:

s401: the second container system 103 packages the identification code of the first container system 102 as the identification code of the target system, together with the number and identification of the newly added messages of the application, into a data packet, and sends the data packet to the master control system 101.

Specifically, after the second container system 103 detects that its application receives a new message, it counts the number of new messages for the application. For example, after the second container system 103 detects that a new short message is received from a secure short message therein, it counts that the number of the new short messages added to the secure short message is 10.

The second container system 103 determines the shortcut application corresponding to the application having the new addition information, and further determines the identifier of the container system to which the shortcut application belongs.

Preferably, for the application with the new added information, the second container system 103 determines the identifier of the shortcut application corresponding to the identifier of the application, and further determines that the identifier of the container system corresponding to the identifier of the shortcut application is the identifier of the first container system 102.

The second container system 103 packages the identification code of the first container system 102 as the identification code of the target system, together with the number of newly added messages and the identification of the application, into a data packet according to a predicted policy (e.g., a predetermined time interval), and sends the data packet to the master control system 101.

Preferably, the second container system 103 calls the container service module of the system after the data packet in this step is completely packaged; the container service module sends the data packet to the ncm device node in the master control system 101 through the ncs device node of the second container system 103.

S402: the main control system 101 receives the data packet, and sends the identifier of the application and the number of the newly added messages in the received data packet to the first container system 102 according to the identifier of the target system in the received data packet.

After the main control system 101 analyzes the identification code of the target system from the received data packet, the identification of the first container system 102 corresponding to the identification code of the target system is determined according to the identification and the identification code of the container system which are stored correspondingly in advance.

The master control system 101 sends the number and the identifier of the newly added messages of the application parsed from the received data packet to the first container system 102 according to the identifier of the second container system 103 as the target system.

Preferably, the main control system 101 calls its main management module; the master management module sends the number and the identifier of the newly added messages of the application in the received data packet to the ncs device node in the first container system 102 through the ncm device node in the master control system 101.

S403: the first container system 102 updates the numbers on the corner marks of the icons of the shortcut applications based on the received identification of the applications and the number of new messages.

Specifically, the first container system 102 receives the identification of the application and the number of newly added messages sent by the master control system 101.

Preferably, the first container system 102 receives, according to the container service module thereof, the identifier of the application and the number of the newly added messages sent by the master control system 101 through the ncs device node in the first container system 102.

The first container system 102 determines, according to the received identifier of the application, an identifier of a shortcut application corresponding to the identifier of the application in the system, and further determines an icon of the shortcut application.

The first container system 102 adds a corner mark for the icon of the shortcut application after receiving the number of the newly added messages of the application. For example, a corner mark is added in the upper right corner of the icon of the shortcut application. Also, the first container system 102 displays a number indicating the number of newly added messages on a corner mark of an icon of the shortcut application.

For example, the first container system 102 displays 10 on the icon of the shortcut application named safe short message, which indicates that the number of the new short messages is 10. Namely, 10 new unread messages are added to the secure messages in the second container system 103 to prompt the user.

In practical applications, the security system may be used as the second container system 103, and the non-security system may be used as the first container system 102.

The security system pays attention to the security of application operation, such as security short messages, security phones, security enterprise applications and the like which are operated in a confidential scene. However, the number of applications in the security system is small. For example, the Security system may specifically be a se (Security-Enhanced) linux-based operating system.

Non-secure systems are more concerned about the diversity and richness of applications than secure systems. Various applications can be installed in the insecure system to meet various needs of users. For example, the non-security system may specifically be an Android system.

The non-safety system and the safety system can be respectively operated in a foreground and a background, and a user can use various applications in the non-safety system in the foreground to experience respective functions of the applications. An icon of the shortcut application corresponding to the application of the security system is arranged on the desktop of the non-security system, so that a user can conveniently switch the security system to the foreground by selecting the icon and start the application of the icon in the security system.
