Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Before explaining the embodiments of the present invention in detail, terms and implementation scenarios related to the embodiments of the present invention will be explained below.

The application program comprises the following steps: refers to a software program installed on a terminal, which can improve the deficiency of a terminal system and embody user personalization. Among them, the application program is one of the important means for the terminal to improve its functions and provide richer use experience for the user.

In another embodiment, an execution subject of the method for managing the running state of the application program provided by the embodiment of the present invention is a terminal, and the method is specifically applied in a scene where a screen lock occurs in the terminal. The method can be theoretically implemented on a terminal with a display screen, and the terminal types include but are not limited to mobile phones, tablet computers and the like.

In another embodiment, the terminal system performs power consumption optimization processing in a high-version terminal system, so that the running application program is terminated by the terminal system when the terminal is in a screen locking state, so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal. However, terminating all applications in the locked screen state will certainly bring a bad use experience to the user, especially for the audio playing application or some audio related applications. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention provides a method for preventing an application program from being terminated by a terminal system in a screen locking state.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the running state of the application program is managed by performing silent recording and playing an audio segment with a volume of zero, and for a more detailed explanation, refer to the following implementation manners.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for managing an operating state of an application according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the method provided by the implementation of the present invention comprises:

101. and monitoring the screen state of the terminal.

In the embodiment of the invention, the screen state of the terminal can be divided into a screen unlocking state (namely a normal use state) and a screen locking state. In a normal use state, after a terminal starts a target application program, background Service (Service) can be synchronously and automatically run, and a system is also registered to broadcast to monitor a screen locking unlocking state and a screen locking state. In another expression, the embodiment of the present invention utilizes system broadcast to monitor the screen status of the terminal.

The target application program refers to an application program which is not only in a running state in a screen unlocking state, but also can continuously maintain the running state in a screen locking state. For example, the target application may be an application for audio management, such as an audio playback application or some audio-related application. The application related to the audio may be an audio recognition application, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present invention. And the audio recognition application is mainly used to recognize the singer, the name, etc. of the audio.

102. And when the terminal is converted from the screen unlocking state to the screen locking state, controlling the target application program to execute audio management operation in the screen locking state so as to enable the target application program to continuously maintain the running state in the screen locking state.

The target application executes the audio management operation in a mute state. The embodiment of the invention realizes that the target application program continuously maintains the running state in the screen locking state in a mode of carrying out mute recording and playing a section of audio with zero volume. Taking the target application as the audio recognition application as an example, the two modes will be described below.

First, silent recording mode

In this manner, the audio recognition application may invoke the system recording service AudioRecord-group new AudioRecord () to implement silent recording. Specifically, in the screen lock state, the embodiment of the present invention starts audio recording background. That is, the audio recording volume is adjusted to zero, so that in a mute state, the audio recognition application completes the mute recording by calling the system recording service.

In summary, the specific process of the silent recording mode is as follows: and executing the recording operation in the screen locking state, and adjusting the audio recording volume of the recording operation to be zero, namely recording a section of audio with the volume of zero.

Since the default audio recognition application of the terminal system refers to the system sound at this time, the audio recognition application currently in the running state is not terminated by the terminal system under the condition of screen locking.

It should be noted that, in order to avoid the adverse effect of the silent recording mode on other functions of the terminal, the volume of the system is kept unchanged in the whole process.

Second, a way to play a segment of audio with zero volume

This embodiment can produce the same effects as those of the first embodiment.

The specific execution process comprises the following steps: and executing the audio playing operation in the screen locking state, and adjusting the audio playing volume of the audio playing operation to be zero. The audio identification application may specifically call a background service or other application with an audio playing function to complete audio playing, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, after the terminal is converted from the screen unlock state to the screen lock state, after a period of time, the terminal may be converted from the screen lock state to the screen unlock state again, and for such a situation, referring to fig. 2, the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

103. and when the terminal is converted into the screen unlocking state from the screen locking state, controlling the target application program to stop executing the recording operation in the screen unlocking state.

Continuing to take the target application as the audio recognition application as an example, when the terminal is switched from the screen locking state to the screen unlocking state again, the embodiment of the invention controls the audio recognition application to stop executing the silent recording in the unlocking state. Stop () is started, for example, to terminate the continuation of silent recording.

This is done to avoid the silent recording operation affecting other functions of the application. Continuing with the example of the audio recognition application, the audio recognition application also needs to record the audio, which will definitely conflict with the aforementioned silent recording, so that the previous silent recording needs to be released immediately in the screen unlock state to avoid interfering with the audio recognition application for audio recognition.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the terminal is converted from the screen unlocking state to the screen locking state, the target application program can be controlled to execute the audio management operation in the screen locking state, so that the target application program can continuously maintain the running state in the screen locking state.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an application running state management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3, the apparatus includes:

a monitoring module 301, configured to monitor a screen state of a terminal;

a processing module 302, configured to control a target application to execute an audio management operation in a screen locking state when the terminal is converted from a screen unlocking state to a screen locking state, so that the target application continues to maintain an operating state in the screen locking state;

According to the device provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the terminal is converted from the screen unlocking state to the screen locking state, the target application program can be controlled to execute the audio management operation in the screen locking state, so that the target application program can continuously maintain the running state in the screen locking state.
