In particular, when the touch pad is superimposed on the display module 151 in the form of a layer, a touch screen may be formed.

In the present invention, the user data to be submitted may be specifically acquired through the input unit 120, and then sent to the server through the wireless communication unit 110 for processing, or may be internet data acquired by the mobile terminal 100 from the internet. Preferably, the data may be data input by the user through the user input unit 130, such as text, short message, etc

The sensing unit 140 detects a current state of the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., an open or closed state of the mobile terminal 100), a position of the mobile terminal 100, presence or absence of contact (i.e., touch input) by a user with the mobile terminal 100, an orientation of the mobile terminal 100, acceleration or deceleration movement and direction of the mobile terminal 100, and the like, and generates a command or signal for controlling an operation of the mobile terminal 100.

In addition, a device having an identification module (hereinafter, referred to as an "identification device") may take the form of a smart card, and thus, the identification device may be connected with the mobile terminal 100 via a port or other connection means. The interface unit 170 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal and the external device.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external cradle, the interface unit 170 may serve as a path through which power is supplied from the cradle to the mobile terminal 100 or may serve as a path through which various command signals input from the cradle are transmitted to the mobile terminal. Various command signals or power input from the cradle may be used as signals for recognizing whether the mobile terminal is accurately mounted on the cradle. The output unit 150 is configured to provide output signals (e.g., audio signals, video signals, alarm signals, vibration signals, etc.) in a visual, audio, and/or tactile manner.

The output unit 150 may include a display module 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm module 153, and the like.

The display module 151 may display information processed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is in a phone call mode, the display module 151 may display a User Interface (UI) or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) related to a call or other communication (e.g., text messaging, multimedia file downloading, etc.). When the mobile terminal 100 is in a video call mode or an image capturing mode, the display module 151 may display a captured image and/or a received image, a UI or GUI showing a video or an image and related functions, and the like.

Meanwhile, when the display module 151 and the touch pad are stacked on each other in the form of layers to form a touch screen, the display module 151 may serve as an input device and an output device. The display module 151 may include at least one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a thin film transistor LCD (TFT-LCD), an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display, a flexible display, a three-dimensional (3D) display, and the like. Some of these displays may be configured to be transparent to allow a user to view from the outside, which may be referred to as transparent displays, and a typical transparent display may be, for example, a TOLED (transparent organic light emitting diode) display or the like. The mobile terminal 100 may include two or more display modules (or other display devices) according to a particular desired implementation, for example, the mobile terminal may include an external display module (not shown) and an internal display module (not shown). The touch screen may be used to detect a touch input pressure as well as a touch input position and a touch input area.

The audio output module 152 may convert audio data received by the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 into an audio signal and output as sound when the mobile terminal is in a call signal reception mode, a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Also, the audio output module 152 may provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output module 152 may include a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm module 153 may provide an output to notify the mobile terminal 100 of the occurrence of an event. Typical events may include call reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like. In addition to audio or video output, the alarm module 153 may provide output in different ways to notify the occurrence of an event. For example, the alarm module 153 may provide an output in the form of a vibration, and when a call, a message, or some other incoming communication (communicating communication) is received, the alarm module 153 may provide a tactile output (i.e., vibration) to inform the user thereof. By providing such a tactile output, the user can recognize the occurrence of various events even when the user's mobile phone is in the user's pocket. The alarm module 153 may also provide an output notifying the occurrence of an event via the display module 151 or the audio output module 152.

The memory 160 may store software programs and the like for processing and controlling operations performed by the controller 180, or may temporarily store data (e.g., a phonebook, messages, still images, videos, and the like) that has been or will be output. Also, the memory 160 may store data regarding various ways of vibration and audio signals output when a touch is applied to the touch screen.

The memory 160 may include at least one type of storage medium including a flash memory, a hard disk, a multimedia card, a card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory, etc.), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, and the like. Also, the mobile terminal 100 may cooperate with a network storage device that performs a storage function of the memory 160 through a network connection.

The controller 180 generally controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal. For example, the controller 180 performs control and processing related to voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like. In addition, the controller 180 may include a multimedia module 181 for reproducing (or playing back) multimedia data, and the multimedia module 181 may be constructed within the controller 180 or may be constructed separately from the controller 180. The controller 180 may perform a pattern recognition process to recognize a handwriting input or a picture drawing input performed on the touch screen as a character or an image.

The power supply unit 190 receives external power or internal power and provides appropriate power required to operate various elements and components under the control of the controller 180.

Up to this point, mobile terminals have been described in terms of their functionality. Hereinafter, a slide-type mobile terminal among various types of mobile terminals, such as a folder-type, bar-type, swing-type, slide-type mobile terminal, and the like, will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.

The following is a detailed description of specific examples.

The first embodiment:

referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a block diagram of a terminal application split-screen hierarchical display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the apparatus is a scheme that can implement terminal application split-screen hierarchical display based on the above existing mobile terminal hardware structure, and specifically, the terminal application split-screen hierarchical display apparatus provided in this embodiment includes: the device comprises an acquisition module 21, a first selection module 22, a second selection module 23 and a split-screen display module 24, wherein:

the obtaining module 21 is configured to obtain an application program list on the terminal after receiving an application split screen operation instruction.

The first selection module 22 is configured to select at least one first application from the list of applications.

The second selection module 23 is configured to reorder the application program list according to the first application program and a preset ordering rule, and determine at least one second application program from the reordered application program list.

The split-screen display module 24 is configured to perform split-screen display according to the number of the first application program and the second application program.

In this embodiment, the first application and the second application refer to applications that are selected by the user twice, and may be applications in the first priority application list or applications in the second priority application list.

In this embodiment, when acquiring the application program list on the terminal, the acquiring module 21 specifically includes a first priority application program list and a second priority application program list on the terminal, and for the two priority application program lists, after receiving an application split screen operation instruction, the terminal derives a list of background application programs that are running as the first priority application program list, and derives a list of application programs that are not running in the background in the terminal as the second priority application program list.

Meanwhile, the obtaining module 21 further pushes the obtained two lists to the first selecting module 22, and the first selecting module 22 selects a corresponding first application program from the pushed two lists according to the actual requirement of the user.

In this embodiment, when the first selecting module 22 selects at least one first application from the application list acquired by the acquiring module 21, the following method is specifically implemented:

the obtaining module 21 provides the obtained first priority application program list to the first selecting module 22, and the first selecting module 22 determines whether a first application program which needs to be displayed in a split screen mode exists in the first priority application program list;

when judging that a first application program which is currently required to be selected by a user exists in the first priority application program list, the first selection module 22 selects at least one first application program which meets the current requirement of the user from the first priority application program list;

when it is determined that the first application program currently required to be selected by the user exists in the first priority application program list, the request obtaining module 21 provides a second priority application program list, and the first selecting module 22 selects at least one first application program meeting the current requirement of the user from the second priority application program list.

In this embodiment, the second selecting module 23 includes a sorting sub-module and a selecting sub-module, and after the first selecting module 22 selects the first application program, the second selecting module 23 determines the second application program from the application program list according to the first application program, specifically, by the following means:

firstly, the sequencing submodule reorders each application program in the first priority application program list from high relevance to low relevance according to the relevance degree of each application program in the first priority application program list and the first application program, which is determined by the first application program;

and then, the selection submodule judges whether a second application program which needs to be subjected to split screen display exists in the first priority application program list, if the second application program which needs to be subjected to split screen display does not exist, the first priority application program list which is currently displayed by the terminal is updated into a second priority application program list, and at least one second application program which needs to be subjected to split screen display is selected from the second priority application program list.

In practical applications, when the first application is selected from the first priority application list, the first selection module 22 and the second selection module 23 are specifically implemented by the following processes:

firstly, after receiving an application split-screen operation instruction, the obtaining module 21 provides an obtained first priority application program list (that is, a list of all application programs currently running in a background of the terminal) to the first selecting module 22, wherein the ordering of each application program in the first priority application program list is ordered according to the use time, the first selecting module 22 selects at least one application program from the application programs running in the background, preferably, selects one lift-up program from the application program list running in the background, and places the selected first application program in a first display area (split-screen upper screen) of the terminal.

Further, when the user does not have an application program that the user wants to perform screen splitting in the first priority application program list or the provided first priority application program list is empty, the first selecting module 22 is further configured to request the obtaining module 21 to obtain the second priority application program list, and select the first application program that meets the user requirement from the second priority application program list.

The second selecting module 23 determines the correlation of all the applications in the first priority application list and/or the second priority application list according to the first application selected by the first selecting module 22, determines the correlation between the applications in the list and the first application, and reorders the applications in the list from high to low according to the determined result.

When the second application is selected from the second priority application list, after the first selection module 22 selects the first application, the second selection module 23 requests the obtaining module 21 to provide the second priority application list, and selects the second application from the second priority application list, wherein the applications in the second priority application list may be specifically sorted according to the relevance to the first application, the applications with strong relevance are sorted before the list, the applications with weak relevance are sorted after the list, and the applications may also be sorted according to the use frequency (use duration) of the user, the applications with high use frequency (use duration) are sorted before, and the applications with low use frequency (use duration) are sorted after.

For the processing procedure of the application split-screen display in the terminal application split-screen hierarchical display device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the following further description is made with reference to specific embodiments:

as shown in fig. 3 and 4, after the obtaining module 21 receives an application split-screen operation instruction, the terminal enters a split-screen hierarchical display processing interface, which is divided into three parts on the interface, namely, a first priority application program list, a split-screen upper screen and a split-screen small screen, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, a first selecting module 22 selects an application which the terminal wants to perform a split-screen operation in the first priority application program list, and drags the selected application into a "split-screen upper screen" or "split-screen lower screen" area in fig. 3. For example, dragging the "talking application" selection into the "split screen on screen" area; dynamically adjusting the display of the first priority application list, the "talking applications" being ordered at the end of the first priority list; the strongly related applications to the "calling application" are ranked first, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the "contact" application (number information of the searched contact) is strongly related, the first selection module 22 selects the "contact" application to drag into the "split screen lower screen" area according to the actual requirement of the user, and finally the split screen display module 24 performs split screen display processing according to the selected application.

In this embodiment, the device for hierarchically displaying the application split screens of the terminal further includes determining whether split screen display binding data related to the first application program exists in the terminal, where the split screen display binding data includes a corresponding relationship between the split screen displays of the first application program and the second application program.

If the split-screen display binding data exists, the second selection module 23 obtains a corresponding second application program from the application program list according to the corresponding relationship in the split-screen display binding data.

If the split-screen display binding data does not exist, the second selection module 23 reorders the application program list according to the first application program and a preset ordering rule, and determines at least one second application program from the reordered application program list.

In practical applications, the split-screen display binding data is specifically downloaded from a cloud, the terminal split-screen hierarchical display device searches the downloaded split-screen display binding data, and if a second bound application program, such as 'call application-notepad application' binding data, exists, the corresponding strongly-relevant application is displayed in front. The specific display is shown in FIG. 5; when the applications exist in the split screen upper screen area and the split screen lower screen area, the system automatically jumps to a split screen mode, displays two applications selected by a user in a split screen mode, meanwhile, the terminal application split screen hierarchical display device also stores the group of application binding data, and uploads the application binding data to a cloud terminal for subsequent use under the condition that WIFI is started; an application that is dragged into the "split screen up" or "split screen down" area can be cancelled by an operation of dragging out of the two areas.
