Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to an application switching method and device, and a computer-readable storage medium.
Background
The current smart phone operating system supports multi-task simultaneous operation, however, limited by the size of the mobile phone screen, each APP (application) usually works in a full screen mode, that is, only one APP can be used at a time.
For example, the following two scenarios: (1) when a user watches the video, the user also needs to check a new message or mail of the WeChat from time to time; (2) the user fills in a registration form on the mobile phone, and needs to input information such as passport number, zip code and the like, and the information is stored in the notebook APP. In both scenarios, two APPs need to be used "simultaneously".
Currently, there are two main solutions, one is split screen and the other is by switching between applications.
Firstly, the method of split screen is not suitable, because even the great six cun screens of size, after carrying out two split screens to the screen, the screen size that every APP occupy all can reduce half, causes the APP interface to zoom, and the typeface of APP, icon obviously diminish, to the inconvenient operation of user.
Application switching is generally done in two ways: one method is to firstly operate and call a task list and then select an APP to be switched from the task list, the method is relatively complicated in operation, at least two operations are needed for completing one switching, namely, the task list is called out, and the APP to be switched is clicked; another is to switch between the most recently used applications by a specific gesture, such as an edge swipe, which has the disadvantage of being less intuitive and the user does not know which APP to switch to before completing the switch. It can be seen that the existing technical solutions are not suitable for frequent switching between two applications.

In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, a communication network system on which the mobile terminal of the present invention is based is described below.
As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an application switching method, where the application switching method of the embodiment includes the following steps:
step S210, drawing an interface of a first application in a display area of a screen of the terminal, and drawing an icon corresponding to a second application on the interface of the first application, where the icon corresponding to the second application is suspended on the interface of the first application.
In this embodiment, types of the first application and the second application are not limited, and applications available on any terminal such as a mobile phone are all applicable to the technical scheme of this embodiment, for example, the second application may specifically be a notebook, a short message, or an instant messaging APP, and such applications are applications that a user needs to frequently use and require the user to frequently switch.
In this embodiment, assuming that the first application is a current APP and the second application is an information APP, as shown in fig. 3, an icon corresponding to the information APP is displayed in a floating window and floats on the current APP interface, and a user can recognize the "information APP" through the icon.
Furthermore, a closing icon is arranged on the floating window, and the user can close the floating window after clicking.
It can be seen that in the technical solution of this embodiment, a user can confirm an application to be switched based on the floating window, thereby determining whether to perform switching.
In the present embodiment, the type of the icon of the second application is not limited, and for example, it may be an icon of the second application on a desktop of a mobile phone.
In step S220, when the first operation performed by the user is detected, the drawing of the interface of the first application and the icon of the second application is cancelled, and the interface of the second application is drawn in the display area.
In this embodiment, the type of the first operation is not limited, for example, the first operation may be a long press, a click, or the like in a specific area or a specific component of a mobile phone, and after the first operation of the user is executed, the application is switched.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, the icon of the second application is displayed on the interface of the first application in a floating mode, so that the user can determine whether the application to be switched is the second application according to the icon, and the user can determine whether to switch the application.
As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides an application switching method, where the application switching method of the embodiment includes the following steps:
step S410, call out a list recording a plurality of currently running applications, and select an application in the list as a second application according to a second operation performed by the user.
In this embodiment, the specific manner of setting the second application is as follows: and calling a task list page for displaying all current concurrent tasks of the local machine, and browsing and marking the task corresponding to the target APP as an information APP (namely, a second application).
In this embodiment, an exemplary view of the task list is shown in fig. 5, where each task corresponds to an APP, and a current interface screenshot of the task is displayed on a list page, each task screenshot has an illuminable icon 510, the default is an "unlit state", and when a user lights the icon, the APP of the task list is marked as an information APP.
Therefore, based on the technical scheme of the embodiment, the user can set the second application swiftly in a mode of calling out the task list and marking.
Further, when the information APP is no longer needed, two methods are provided in the technical solution of this embodiment to cancel the setting of the information APP.
One is to call up the task list as shown in fig. 5 and then to extinguish the icon 510 of the information APP, and the floating window of the information APP is not displayed any more.
The other is that when the 'information APP' floating window is displayed, the closing icon is clicked to close the window. At this time, the identifier of the information APP in the task list is also synchronously extinguished.
In this embodiment, after the user cancels the setting of the information APP, the first operation for switching the APPs is no longer valid.
Step S420, drawing an interface of the first application in a display area of a screen of the terminal, and drawing a thumbnail corresponding to an interface of the second application to form an icon corresponding to the second application, where the icon corresponding to the second application is suspended on the interface of the first application.
In this embodiment, a thumbnail is generated after screenshot is performed on the interface of the second application, and the thumbnail is used as a floating icon, so that a user can intuitively know the current interface content of the second application through the icon, and the user can determine whether to perform application switching.
For example, when the second application is a chat tool, the user can determine whether new information is received according to the icon of the chat tool, so as to determine whether it is necessary to switch to the interface of the chat tool to reply to the new information.
In step S430, when the first operation performed by the user is detected, the drawing of the interface of the first application and the icon of the second application is cancelled, and the interface of the second application is drawn in the display area.
Step S440, after the interface of the second application is drawn, setting the input mode of the second application as a voice input mode.
In this embodiment, if the first operation of the user is finished, that is, the interface of the second application is cancelled and displayed, it is difficult for the user to perform the input operation on the second application at the same time under the condition of maintaining the first operation, and at this time, the input mode of the second application is modified into the voice input mode.
For example, when the first operation is a long press operation and the second application is a chat tool, the user switches the current application to the chat tool through the long press operation and needs to continuously press and keep displaying the interface of the chat tool, and the input mode of the chat tool is automatically set to be a voice input mode, so that the behavior of the user for switching the applications is favorably not in conflict with the behavior for inputting.
And step S450, after the execution of the first operation is detected to be finished, canceling the drawing of the interface of the second application, and redrawing the interface of the first application and the icon corresponding to the second application, wherein the first operation is touch operation performed on a display area, the icon or a sensor on the terminal by a user, and the execution of the first operation is finished when the finger of the user is separated from the display area, the icon or the sensor.
In order to improve the efficiency of switching the applications by the user and avoid the user from performing too many operations to frequently switch the applications, in this embodiment, it is not selected to cancel displaying the interface of the second application and resume displaying the interface of the first application and the icon of the second application by other operations, but resume displaying the interface of the first application and the icon of the second application when the first operation of the user is finished.
In the present embodiment, the type of the sensor is not limited, and the sensor may be a fingerprint sensor on a mobile phone, for example.
In this embodiment, for example, after the user sets the information APP (second application), the current APP (first application) can be used. In the process, the user can quickly switch to the information APP and quickly return to the information APP through some kind of "two-state" interface gesture (i.e. the first operation).
The so-called "dual state" is that there is a gesture, and this gesture carries out and represents "on" respectively, represents "close" after this gesture finishes, and when being in "on" state, information APP switches to the proscenium, and information APP's interface full screen display, and information APP's suspension window is hidden simultaneously, and when being in "off" state, current APP switches to the proscenium, and current APP's interface full screen display, information APP's suspension window simultaneously shows.
In this embodiment, the two-state gesture can be as shown in the following table.
| 'Kai' | 'guan' | |
| 1 | Finger long press 'information APP' suspension screenshot | Finger raising from suspended screenshot |
| 2 | Long-press fingerprint sensor | Loose fingerprint sensor |
Taking the first operation as an example of long-time pressing of the front fingerprint sensor, the process of switching to the information APP is shown in fig. 6, when the thumb of the user leaves the fingerprint sensor, the interface of the current APP and the floating window of the information APP are displayed, and when the thumb of the user presses the fingerprint sensor, the interface of the information APP is displayed.
Based on the technical scheme of the embodiment, aiming at the most common scene of application switching, a technical scheme of application fast switching is provided, which is used for fast switching to another APP and fast returning in the process of using one APP.
As shown in fig. 7, an embodiment of the present invention provides an application switching device comprising a screen 710, a processor 720, a memory 730, and a communication bus 740; communication bus 740 is used to enable communications among processor 720 and memory 730; processor 720 is configured to execute the application switching program stored in memory 730 to perform the following steps:
the method comprises the steps of drawing an interface of a first application in a display area of a screen of the terminal, drawing an icon corresponding to a second application on the interface of the first application, and enabling the icon corresponding to the second application to be suspended on the interface of the first application.
In this embodiment, types of the first application and the second application are not limited, and applications available on any terminal such as a mobile phone are all applicable to the technical scheme of this embodiment, for example, the second application may specifically be a notebook, a short message, or an instant messaging APP, and such applications are applications that a user needs to frequently use and require the user to frequently switch.
In this embodiment, assuming that the first application is a current APP and the second application is an information APP, as shown in fig. 4, an icon corresponding to the information APP is displayed in a floating window and floats on the current APP interface, and a user can recognize the "information APP" through the icon.
Furthermore, a closing icon is arranged on the floating window, and the user can close the floating window after clicking.
It can be seen that in the technical solution of this embodiment, a user can confirm an application to be switched based on the floating window, thereby determining whether to perform switching.
In the present embodiment, the type of the icon of the second application is not limited, and for example, it may be an icon of the second application on a desktop of a mobile phone.
And when the first operation performed by the user is detected, cancelling drawing of the interface of the first application and the icon of the second application, and drawing the interface of the second application in the display area.
In this embodiment, the type of the first operation is not limited, for example, the first operation may be a long press, a click, or the like in a specific area or a specific component of a mobile phone, and after the first operation of the user is executed, the application is switched.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, the icon of the second application is displayed on the interface of the first application in a floating mode, so that the user can determine whether the application to be switched is the second application according to the icon, and the user can determine whether to switch the application.
As shown in fig. 8, an embodiment of the present invention provides an application switching device comprising a screen 810, a processor 820, a memory 830, a communication bus 840, a sensor 850; communication bus 840 is used to enable connective communication between processor 820 and memory 830; the processor 820 is configured to execute the application switching program stored in the memory 830 to implement the following steps:
and calling out a list recording a plurality of currently running applications, and selecting one application in the list as a second application according to a second operation executed by the user.
In this embodiment, the specific manner of setting the second application is as follows: and calling a task list page for displaying all current concurrent tasks of the local machine, and browsing and marking the task corresponding to the target APP as an information APP (namely, a second application).
In this embodiment, an exemplary view of the task list is shown in fig. 5, where each task corresponds to an APP, and a current interface screenshot of the task is displayed on a list page, each task screenshot has an illuminable icon 510, the default is an "unlit state", and when a user lights the icon, the APP of the task list is marked as an information APP.
Therefore, based on the technical scheme of the embodiment, the user can set the second application swiftly in a mode of calling out the task list and marking.
Further, when the information APP is no longer needed, two methods are provided in the technical solution of this embodiment to cancel the setting of the information APP.
One is to call up the task list as shown in fig. 5 and then to extinguish the icon 510 of the information APP, and the floating window of the information APP is not displayed any more.
The other is that when the 'information APP' floating window is displayed, the closing icon is clicked to close the window. At this time, the identifier of the information APP in the task list is also synchronously extinguished.
In this embodiment, after the user cancels the setting of the information APP, the first operation for switching the APPs is no longer valid.
The method comprises the steps of drawing an interface of a first application in a display area of a screen of the terminal, drawing a thumbnail corresponding to the interface of a second application to form an icon corresponding to the second application, and enabling the icon corresponding to the second application to be suspended on the interface of the first application.
In this embodiment, a thumbnail is generated after screenshot is performed on the interface of the second application, and the thumbnail is used as a floating icon, so that a user can intuitively know the current interface content of the second application through the icon, and the user can determine whether to perform application switching.
For example, when the second application is a chat tool, the user can determine whether new information is received according to the icon of the chat tool, so as to determine whether it is necessary to switch to the interface of the chat tool to reply to the new information.
And when the first operation performed by the user is detected, cancelling drawing of the interface of the first application and the icon of the second application, and drawing the interface of the second application in the display area.
And after drawing the interface of the second application, setting the input mode of the second application as a voice input mode.
In this embodiment, if the first operation of the user is finished, that is, the interface of the second application is cancelled and displayed, it is difficult for the user to perform the input operation on the second application at the same time under the condition of maintaining the first operation, and at this time, the input mode of the second application is modified into the voice input mode.
For example, when the first operation is a long press operation and the second application is a chat tool, the user switches the current application to the chat tool through the long press operation and needs to continuously press and keep displaying the interface of the chat tool, and the input mode of the chat tool is automatically set to be a voice input mode, so that the behavior of the user for switching the applications is favorably not in conflict with the behavior for inputting.
And after the execution of the first operation is detected to be finished, cancelling the drawing of the interface of the second application, and redrawing the interface of the first application and the icon corresponding to the second application, wherein the first operation is the touch operation of the user on the display area, the icon or the sensor on the terminal, and the execution of the first operation is finished when the finger of the user is separated from the display area, the icon or the sensor.
In order to improve the efficiency of switching the applications by the user and avoid the user from performing too many operations to frequently switch the applications, in this embodiment, it is not selected to cancel displaying the interface of the second application and resume displaying the interface of the first application and the icon of the second application by other operations, but resume displaying the interface of the first application and the icon of the second application when the first operation of the user is finished.
In the present embodiment, the type of the sensor is not limited, and the sensor may be a fingerprint sensor on a mobile phone, for example.
In this embodiment, for example, after the user sets the information APP (second application), the current APP (first application) can be used. In the process, the user can quickly switch to the information APP and quickly return to the information APP through some kind of "two-state" interface gesture (i.e. the first operation).
The so-called "dual state" is that there is a gesture, and this gesture carries out and represents "on" respectively, represents "close" after this gesture finishes, and when being in "on" state, information APP switches to the proscenium, and information APP's interface full screen display, and information APP's suspension window is hidden simultaneously, and when being in "off" state, current APP switches to the proscenium, and current APP's interface full screen display, information APP's suspension window simultaneously shows.
In this embodiment, the two-state gesture can be as shown in the following table.
| 'Kai' | 'guan' | |
| 1 | Finger long press 'information APP' suspension screenshot | Finger raising from suspended screenshot |
| 2 | Long-press fingerprint sensor | Loose fingerprint sensor |
Taking the first operation as an example of long-time pressing of the front fingerprint sensor, the process of switching to the information APP is shown in fig. 6, when the thumb of the user leaves the fingerprint sensor, the interface of the current APP and the floating window of the information APP are displayed, and when the thumb of the user presses the fingerprint sensor, the interface of the information APP is displayed.
Based on the technical scheme of the embodiment, aiming at the most common scene of application switching, a technical scheme of application fast switching is provided, which is used for fast switching to another APP and fast returning in the process of using one APP.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, which are executable by one or more processors to implement the steps of the application switching method of the foregoing embodiment.
According to the computer-readable storage medium of the embodiment, the icon of the second application is displayed on the interface of the first application in a floating manner, so that the user can determine that the application to be switched is the second application according to the icon, and the user can determine whether to switch the application.
