Detailed Description

At present, when applications in terminals such as mobile phones and tablet computers are operated, there are three main operation methods. The first method is as follows: directly clicking an icon in a terminal desktop to display an application interface; the second method is as follows: displaying an application interface by clicking a desktop plug-in interface; the third method is: and clicking a multi-task key to select an interface of an application needing to be displayed in the displayed plurality of applications.

Please refer to fig. 1-a, fig. 1-b, and fig. 1-c, which are schematic diagrams illustrating the operation of an application in the prior art.

As shown in fig. 1-a, the operation interface of the terminal is a main interface, and if the music playing application is started, the music playing application icon in the main interface may be clicked as shown in fig. 1-a. When the user needs to trigger and display other operation interfaces in the music playing application, the user can further click in the main interface after the music playing application is started.

As shown in fig. 1-b, the terminal display interface includes a time application plugin (widget), and if the time interface needs to be opened, the displayed time interface may be clicked as shown in fig. 1-b, the time display main interface is opened, and then the time menu is clicked in the selectable menu, and the time interface is displayed.

As shown in fig. 1-c, when the user clicks the multi-task key, a partial interface screenshot before each application that has been started and runs in the background is switched to the background is displayed on the terminal interface, as shown in fig. 1-d, if the partial interface screenshot corresponding to the target application is not included in the display interface shown in fig. 1-d, the return key may be clicked to switch to the main interface of the terminal, and then an icon or option corresponding to the target interface is clicked in the main interface.

According to the above description, in the prior art, when an operation interface in an application needs to be opened, if a target operation interface is not a main interface, and is not an operation interface before the application is switched to a background, an icon or an option corresponding to the target operation interface needs to be selected from the main interface of the application, and even after multiple operations, the target operation interface can be opened, which is low in efficiency.

The embodiment of the application provides an application operation method, after a user clicks an icon corresponding to a target application, if the trigger operation is a preset trigger operation, a thumbnail of an operation interface of the target application is displayed, then the thumbnail of the target operation interface is selected from the displayed thumbnails, and finally the target operation interface corresponding to the selected thumbnail is displayed. The technical solution is described below by taking a mobile phone as an example, and it can be understood that the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may also be applied to other terminals with display screens.

Fig. 2-a is a schematic flowchart of an operation method of an application provided in an embodiment of the present application, where a terminal is described by taking a mobile phone as an example, and the method includes the following steps:

201. and acquiring a trigger instruction executed by a user on a target application of the mobile phone.

The target application may be an application to which a target operation interface that the user wishes to display belongs. Specifically, in some possible embodiments, icons of multiple applications are displayed in a display interface of the mobile phone, and after determining an icon corresponding to a target application, a user clicks the icon, and then a trigger instruction is generated. The triggering instruction may be any user operation intended to open the target application or display a target operation interface within the target application, such as clicking an icon of the target application, using a shortcut key, a voice command, etc.

202. And judging whether the trigger instruction is a preset trigger instruction or not. When the judgment result is yes, step 203 is executed.

The preset trigger instruction can be used for displaying a thumbnail of an operation interface of the target application. And when the trigger instruction is a preset trigger instruction, executing step 203, wherein the preset operation instruction can be preset by an operating system of the terminal or can be set by a user in the process of using the terminal.

Optionally, the preset trigger instruction may include a trigger instruction generated by triggering any one or at least two of the following operations: the pressing operation of the pressing pressure value is larger than the preset pressure value, the pressing operation of the pressing fingerprint is the preset fingerprint, and the pressing operation of the pressing duration exceeding the preset duration.

For example, the preset trigger instruction may be a trigger instruction generated by a pressing operation with a pressing pressure value exceeding 1 newton, or a trigger instruction generated by matching a pressing fingerprint with a fingerprint corresponding to a ring finger when the pressing operation is performed, or matching the pressing fingerprint with the ring finger fingerprint while satisfying that the pressing pressure value exceeds 1 newton.

It is understood that the preset trigger instructions include, but are not limited to, the above listed trigger instructions, for example, the preset trigger instructions may also be double-clicking an icon of the target application, triggering through a voice command, and the like.

It can be understood that, in some possible embodiments of the present application, the trigger instruction may also be preset in the mobile phone to default to the preset trigger operation. That is, the trigger instruction may be set as a preset trigger instruction or a non-preset trigger instruction by default in advance. If the thumbnail of the operation interface displayed on the terminal does not have the thumbnail corresponding to the target interface, the icon of the target application may be further clicked, for example, the icon of the target application is clicked again or double-clicked, the main interface of the target application or the target application is displayed and switched to the operation interface before the background, and then the icon corresponding to the target interface is selected from the displayed interface.

It should be noted that, if the trigger instruction is not the preset trigger instruction, step 206 is executed: the trigger instruction is responded to in accordance with a conventional method in the art. A conventional response method in the prior art is to display a main interface of a target application or switch the target application to an interface before a background according to a trigger operation. Specifically, whether the application corresponding to the icon clicked by the triggering operation is in the quitting state or the pause state is judged, and if the application is in the quitting state, when the triggering operation is not the preset triggering operation, the main interface of the application is displayed. And if the application is in a suspended state, namely, the application is switched to the background to run, when the trigger operation is not the preset trigger operation, displaying an interface before the application is switched to the background.

203. And displaying the thumbnail of the operation interface of the target application in the display interface of the mobile phone.

The display interface of the mobile phone can be the whole area or the local area of the mobile phone screen. The thumbnail (thumbnail) may have a variety of display methods, for example, the thumbnail may be displayed in the top area of the cell phone screen, or the thumbnail may be displayed in the left area of the cell phone screen, or the thumbnail may be displayed around the target application icon of the cell phone screen, or the thumbnail may be displayed in a pull-down menu of the cell phone screen, or the thumbnail may be displayed in a pull-up menu of the cell phone, etc.

When the trigger instruction is a preset trigger instruction, a thumbnail of an operation interface of the target application can be displayed on a mobile phone screen. The number of the displayed thumbnails can be multiple, and the thumbnails correspond to multiple operation interfaces of the target application. The operation interface can be a user interface presented after the target application is opened, and comprises a user interface presented after the target application is opened for the first time and a user interface presented after the user operates in the target application; the operation interface can be a main interface of the target application and can also be a sub-interface of the target application. For example, when the target application is a clock APP, the operation interface includes a clock user interface, an alarm clock user interface, a timer user interface, a setting user interface, and the like within the clock APP.

Specifically, thumbnails corresponding to the multiple operation interfaces may be sequentially displayed on the display interface of the mobile phone. For example, according to the operation frequency of the user on a plurality of operation interfaces, thumbnails corresponding to the operation interfaces may be displayed in sequence, so that thumbnails corresponding to commonly used operation interfaces are displayed in front. For example, when a preset trigger instruction can trigger the display of 3 thumbnails, thumbnails corresponding to 3 operation interfaces most frequently used by a user in the target application may be displayed. The thumbnail display sequence can be fixed or dynamically adjusted. Optionally, the display interfaces of the target application may be sorted from more to less according to the accumulated display times, thumbnails corresponding to M operation interfaces of the target application are sequentially displayed in the display interface of the terminal according to a sorting result, where M is less than or equal to N, and the target application includes N operation interfaces in total.

For example, if the target application includes 6 operation interfaces: j1, J2, J3, J4, J5 and J6, wherein the cumulative display times of the 6 operation interfaces are as follows: 8 times, 9 times, 4 times, 2 times, 6 times and 1 time, and the accumulated display times are sequentially ordered from high to low as: j2, J1, J5, J3, J4, and J6. If M is 4, thumbnails of J2, J1, J5, and J3 are displayed in order of the cumulative display count from high to low.

It should be noted that, if the total number of interfaces of the target application is less than the preset number M, thumbnails of all interfaces of the target application may be displayed in the order of increasing the cumulative display times. For example, if the preset number M is 5, and if the number of interfaces of the target application is 3, the thumbnails of 3 pages of the target application may be displayed in the display interface of the mobile phone in the order of the cumulative display times from high to low.

In some possible embodiments of the present application, when a thumbnail of an operation interface of a target application is displayed in a display interface of a terminal, the following manner may also be adopted: and sequencing the operation interfaces of the target application in a reverse order according to the time when the display of the target application is started last time, and sequentially displaying thumbnails of M 'operation interfaces of the target application in a display interface of the terminal according to a sequencing result, wherein M' is less than or equal to N ', and the target application comprises N' operation interfaces.

In order to display the operation interface displayed recently in time, in some possible embodiments of the application, if the thumbnail of the operation interface displayed recently by the target application is not included in the thumbnails of the M operation interfaces, the displaying the thumbnail of the operation interface of the target application in the display interface of the terminal further includes:

displaying a thumbnail of an operation interface which is displayed recently by the target application in a display interface of the terminal; the recently displayed operation interface of the target application comprises the following steps: before executing the trigger instruction on the target application, if the target application is closed, closing a displayed interface before the target application; or before the trigger instruction is executed on the target application, if the target application runs in the background, the target application is switched to an interface displayed before the target application runs in the background.

For example, if the target application includes 6 interfaces: j1, J2, J3, J4, J5 and J6, wherein the cumulative display times of the 6 interfaces are as follows: 8, 9, 4, 2, 6, and 1 times. If M is 3, if the display interface displayed by the target application recently is J4, the interfaces of the target application are sequentially arranged as J2, J1, J5, J3, J4 and J6 in the order of the cumulative display times from most to least. The thumbnails displayed may be: thumbnails of J4, J2, J1, and J5.

The shape and size of the thumbnail are not limited, for example, the thumbnail may be in the shape of a rectangle, a circle, etc., and the size of the thumbnail may be as large as the icon of the target application, or may be larger or smaller than the icon of the target application. The thumbnail can be a thumbnail of the whole interface of the operation interface of the target application, and can also be a thumbnail of a local interface of the operation interface of the target application. For example, a thumbnail may be generated after being enlarged according to a partial region of the operation interface, so as to identify which operation interface is the thumbnail.

In some possible embodiments of the application, the thumbnails may be displayed horizontally, vertically, or in a circular or semicircular manner near the icon of the target application, and it is understood that the thumbnails of the operation interfaces in the front may be displayed near the icon of the target application, and the thumbnails of the operation interfaces in the rear may be displayed by a sliding operation on the terminal interface.

In some possible embodiments of the application, the thumbnails displayed in the display interface of the mobile phone are the same in size, or are displayed in decreasing size in the order of the cumulative display times. For example, the thumbnail images displayed in the display interface of the mobile phone may all have the following sizes: 2.4cm by 3.2cm, or may be reduced by a certain proportion in accordance with the cumulative display times, for example, by 10% in accordance with the size of the outline reduced from high to low in accordance with the cumulative display times.

It is understood that the thumbnails displayed in the display interface may have the same shaped background, such as all being rectangular, circular, or the like. It is understood that the background shapes of the thumbnails may or may not be identical.

In some possible embodiments of the present application, the display brightness of each thumbnail displayed in the display interface of the terminal may be the same, or may decrease sequentially according to the sorting result.

204. Receiving a thumbnail selection instruction, wherein the thumbnail selection instruction is used for selecting at least one thumbnail from thumbnails displayed in a display interface, and an operation interface corresponding to the selected thumbnail is a target operation interface

It can be understood that a display interface corresponding to the selected at least one thumbnail can be displayed in the display interface of the mobile phone. When one thumbnail is selected, the display interface corresponding to the thumbnail is a target interface, and the target interface can be full of the mobile phone screen and displayed in the full screen or in a local area of the mobile phone screen.

When a plurality of thumbnails are selected from the displayed thumbnails, for example, when two thumbnails are selected, the operation interfaces corresponding to the two selected thumbnails are the target operation interface, the operation interfaces corresponding to the two thumbnails may be displayed according to a certain proportion, for example, each thumbnail occupies half of the display screen of the mobile phone, or the area displayed on the display screen of the mobile phone may be determined according to the ratio of the cumulative display times, for example, if two thumbnails of a1 and a2 are selected, the cumulative display times corresponding to the two thumbnails are 8 times and 4 times, the operation interface corresponding to a1 may occupy two thirds of the display screen of the mobile phone when displayed, and the operation interface corresponding to a2 may occupy one third of the display screen of the mobile phone when displayed. So that the user can browse to multiple display interfaces simultaneously. It is understood that when multiple thumbnails can be selected, a duration T may be preset, and when T is exceeded, the selection is ended, for example, if T is 3 seconds, after one thumbnail is selected, if the thumbnail is not selected again within 3 seconds, the selection is ended. It is understood that in some possible embodiments of the present application, the selection may also be ended by a double click or the like.
