Namely, the processor or the terminal device can realize the progress display method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The terminal device in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile terminal device or a non-mobile terminal device. By way of example, the mobile terminal device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal device, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a netbook or a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal device may be a personal computer (personal computer, PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, or the like, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The execution main body of the progress display method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be the terminal equipment, or can be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of realizing the progress display method in the terminal equipment, and the execution main body can be specifically determined according to actual use requirements. The following describes an exemplary progress display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention by taking a terminal device as an example.

In the embodiment of the invention, the user can find the application program (such as the first application program) to be downloaded and installed through the application store of the terminal equipment, and trigger the terminal equipment to start downloading and installing the application program. In the process of downloading and installing the application program by the terminal equipment, if the user wants to know the downloading and installing progress of the application program, the user can trigger the terminal equipment to display the downloading and installing progress of the application program in a display area of the suspension control through inputting the suspension control displayed on the current interface.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a progress display method. The method can be applied to a terminal device. The method may include S101 and S102 described below.

S101, in the process of downloading and installing a first application program by the terminal equipment, the terminal equipment receives a first input of a user.

The first input may be an input of a hover control displayed on the current interface.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the "process of downloading and installing the first application program" may include: a process of downloading an installation package of the first application, and a process of installing the first application.

In addition, the current interface may be an interface displayed by the terminal device when the first input of the user is received. In the process that the user uses the terminal equipment, the suspension control can be displayed in a suspension mode in each interface, and the suspension control can provide multiple shortcut functions for the user. For example, a hover control may be displayed in a target interface of a terminal device, which hover control may remain displayed in a current interface after the terminal device updates the target interface to the current interface.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the suspension control may be a suspension ball or a suspension window.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first application may be any one of the following: video class applications, shopping class applications, social class applications, navigation class applications, browser class applications, and the like.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first application is one application, and may also be multiple applications (for example, N applications, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2).

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the current interface may be a download interface, where the download interface may include a name of each downloaded application, an icon of each downloaded application, an installation package name of each downloaded application, a download installation progress of each downloaded application, and so on.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be any one of the following specific inputs:

(1) The first input is a single click input, a double click input, a long press input, or the like, to the hover control.

(2) The first input may be an input that drags the hover control over the target area and causes the hover control to be displayed in the target area for a duration greater than or equal to a preset duration.

The target area may be an area where the icon of the first application program is located or other possible areas.

(3) The first input may be an input dragging the hover control according to a preset trajectory.

The preset track may be any one of the following:

track one, a closed loop track formed between a first position and a second position.

And the track II is formed after the number of times of back and forth movement between the first position and the second position reaches the preset number of times.

And the track III is formed after the total distance of the back and forth movement between the first position and the second position reaches the preset distance.

Wherein the first position and the second position may be two different positions in a screen of the terminal device.

For example, the first location may be a location where an icon of the first application is located, and the second location may be a location where a target control (e.g., an installation control) is located.

And S102, the terminal equipment responds to the first input, and the first content is displayed in the display area of the suspension control.

The first content may be used to indicate a download installation progress of the first application program.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first content may be text or pictures. The method can be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first content may include the following: the name of the first application program, the icon of the first application program, the name of the installation package of the first application program, the downloading installation progress of the first application program and the like.

The first content may be, for example, "60% of application 1 downloaded", "complete application 1 downloaded", "25% of application 1 installed", and "complete application 1 installed".

Optionally, the progress display method provided by the embodiment of the invention further includes: after the terminal equipment switches the current interface to other interfaces, the floating control is kept to be displayed, and the first content is kept to be displayed in the display area of the floating control. Wherein the other interface may be any interface other than the current interface.

By way of example, the operation of the user triggering the terminal device to display the first content in the display area of the hover control will be described with reference to fig. 3.

As shown in (a) of fig. 3, an interface 01 of the application store provides three downloadable and installable applications of an application 1, an application 2, and an application 3, and a hover control 02 may be displayed in the interface 01 of the application store. The user may click on the "install" control in the area where the application 1 is located so that the terminal device may begin downloading the installation package for the application 1 from the server.

As shown in (b) of fig. 3, in the process of downloading and installing the application 1 by the terminal device, if the user wants to know the downloading and installing progress of the application 1 in real time, the user can drag the suspension control 02 back and forth between the position of the icon of the application 1 and the position of the "install" control in the area of the application 1, so that a closed area consisting of broken lines can be formed.

As shown in (c) of fig. 3, after the terminal device detects the broken line trace as shown in (b) of fig. 3, the terminal device may determine that a first input of the user is received, and in response to the first input, display first content, that is, "application 1 download 60%", in the display area of the hover control 02.

As shown in (d) of fig. 3, the user may trigger the terminal device to switch the interface 01 of the application store as shown in (c) of fig. 3 to the "application a scan interface" 03. In the "application a swipe code interface 03", the hover control 02 can remain hover-displayed, and the first content, that is, "application 1 installed 25%", can be displayed in the display area of the hover control 02.

The embodiment of the invention provides a progress display method, which can receive a first input of a user (the first input is the input of a suspension control displayed on a current interface) in the process of downloading a first application program by terminal equipment; and displaying first content (the first content being used to indicate a download installation progress of the first application) in a display area of the hover control in response to the first input. According to the scheme, the terminal equipment can display the content for indicating the downloading and installing progress of the application program in the display area of the suspension control, so that even if a user switches the current interface to other application program interfaces, the user can still check the downloading and installing progress of the application program through the suspension control displayed in a suspension mode without exiting the other application program interfaces, the process of checking the downloading and installing progress of the application program by the user can be simplified, and the time of the user is saved.

Optionally, in conjunction with fig. 2, as shown in fig. 4, after S102, the progress displaying method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S103 and S104 described below.

S103, after the first application program is downloaded and installed, the terminal equipment receives a second input of the user.

Wherein the second input may be an input in a display area of the hover control.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the "the first application program downloads and installs" means that the first application program has completed downloading the installation package of the first application program, and the installation of the first application program has been completed according to the installation package of the first application program.

S104, the terminal equipment responds to the second input and displays a first interface of the first application program.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the "displaying the first interface of the first application program" may be displaying a thumbnail of the first interface of the first application program in the display area of the floating control, or displaying the first interface of the first application program in the screen of the terminal device in a full screen manner.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first interface of the first application may be a main interface of the first application, or other possible interfaces.

Further, before the terminal device displays the first interface of the first application program, the terminal device may display an interface other than the first interface, such as a guide page or an advertisement page.

Illustratively, as shown in (a) of fig. 5, assuming that the user is scanning the code using the "application a scan interface" 03, if the download of the application 1 (i.e., the first application) is completed, the terminal device may display the "complete installation" content in the display area of the hover control 02, so that the user can know that the download of the application 1 is completed. If the user wants to use the application 1, the user can click on the content "install complete". After the terminal device receives the click input (i.e., the second input) of the user, the terminal device may update the "application a code-sweeping interface" 03 to the "application 1 home page" 04 as shown in (b) of fig. 5.

According to the progress display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, as a user does not need to search the interface of the icon displaying the application program, the terminal equipment can be triggered to display the first interface of the first application program directly through the input in the display area of the suspension control, so that the operation convenience is improved, and the user can use the first application program directly.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 6 in conjunction with fig. 4, the above S102 may be specifically implemented by the following S102A, and the above S104 may be specifically implemented by the following S104A.

S102A, the terminal equipment responds to the first input, switches the suspension control from the traditional function mode to the target function mode, and displays first content in a display area of the suspension control.

Wherein, in the case that the hover control is in the legacy functional mode, the first content and the first interface are not included in the display area of the hover control. In the case where the hover control is in the target functionality mode, a first content or first interface is included in a display area of the hover control.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the conventional functional mode may be a functional mode provided in the prior art, and the target functional mode may be a functional mode provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, in the case that the suspension control is in the conventional function mode, the suspension control can provide various conventional functions for the user, for example, if the user presses the suspension control for a long time, the terminal device can display a main screen of the terminal device; if the user double clicks the floating control, the terminal device may display a floating window, where the floating window may include "notification", "device", "control center", "self-defined", and "home screen" functional controls. In the case where the hover control is in the target functionality mode, the hover control prohibits providing the user with various conventional functionality, while allowing the user to provide the user with various functionality provided by embodiments of the present invention, e.g., displaying the first content in a display area of the hover control.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the hover control is in the conventional functional mode, the visual surface of the hover control (i.e., the surface that can be seen by the user) may be referred to as a surface O; in the case where the hover control is in the target functional mode, the visual face of the hover control may be referred to as face N.

Illustratively, the above-described FIG. 3 is still taken as an example. As shown in fig. 3 (a), the hover control may be in a conventional functional mode and the viewable surface of the hover control may be surface O prior to receiving the first input from the user. As shown in fig. 3 (b), during receipt of the first input by the user, the hover control may remain in the legacy functionality mode and the viewable surface of the hover control may remain as surface O. As shown in fig. 3 (c), after receiving the first input of the user, the hover control is switched from the legacy functional mode to the target functional mode, and the visual surface of the hover control may be switched from surface O to surface N, where surface N may include the first content. As shown in (d) of fig. 3, after the user switches interface 01 to "application a swipe interface" 03, the hover control is still in the target functional mode, and the viewable surface of the hover control may still be surface N.

S104A, the terminal equipment responds to the second input, displays a first interface of the first application program, and switches the suspension control from the target function mode to the traditional function mode.

Illustratively, the above-described fig. 5 is still taken as an example for illustration. As shown in fig. 5 (a), in the case where the terminal device displays the "application a code-scanning interface" 03, the suspension control 02 is in the target function mode, and the visible surface of the suspension control 02 is the surface N. As shown in fig. 5 (b), after receiving the second input of the user, the terminal device may display "application 1 home page" (i.e., the first interface), and switch the hover control 02 from the target function mode to the legacy function mode, i.e., the visual surface of the hover control is switched from surface N to surface O.

According to the progress display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, as the suspension control can be switched between different functional modes in different scenes, a user can change the functional modes of the suspension control according to actual use requirements, so that the user can use different functions of the suspension control conveniently.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, before "displaying the first interface of the first application" in S104, the method for displaying progress provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S104B described below. In addition, the "displaying the first interface of the first application" in S104 may be implemented specifically by S104C, S D or S104E, i.e., S104C, S D or S104E is alternatively executed.

And S104B, the terminal equipment responds to the second input, and an interface of the first application program is displayed in a display area of the suspension control.

Optionally, the foregoing interface for displaying the first application program in the display area of the hover control may specifically refer to: a thumbnail of an interface of the first application is displayed in a display area of the hover control.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the interface of the first application may be a guide page, an advertisement page or a main interface of the first application.

For example, after the first application installation is completed, the terminal device may display "installation completed" in the display area of the floating control. If the user clicks "install complete", the terminal device may display a thumbnail of the interface of the first application in the display area of the hover control and detect the content of the interface of the first application to determine the interface type of the first application.

And S104C, displaying the first interface in a full screen mode by the terminal equipment under the condition that the terminal equipment detects that the interface of the first application program is the first interface.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first interface may be a main interface of the first application program.

For example, after the terminal device detects the content of the interface of the first application program, if it is detected that the interface of the first application program is the main interface (i.e., the first interface) of the first application program, the terminal device may directly display the first interface in full screen, and switch the suspension control from the target function mode to the traditional function mode, that is, switch the visual surface of the suspension control from the surface N to the surface O.

And S104D, under the condition that the terminal equipment detects that the interface of the first application program is the second interface, if the input of the user to the suspension control is received in each first duration, the terminal equipment switches the interface of the first application program displayed in the display area of the suspension control according to the interface display sequence of the first application program until the interface of the first application program is switched to the first interface, and displays the first interface in a full screen mode.

Optionally, if the terminal device detects that the interface of the first application program is the second interface and the input of the user to the suspension control is not received yet when the first time is up, the terminal device automatically switches the interface of the first application program displayed in the display area of the suspension control according to the interface display sequence of the first application program until the interface of the first application program is switched to the first interface, and displays the first interface in a full screen manner.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the second interface may be a guide page or an advertisement page.

Illustratively, after the terminal device detects the content of the interface of the first application program, it is assumed that the terminal device detects that the interface of the first application program is the guide page 1 (i.e., the second interface) of the first application program. If the terminal equipment receives the input of the user on the suspension control in the first duration, the terminal equipment can switch the guide page 1 in the display area of the suspension control into a guide page 2; if the terminal device receives the user input to the hover control again within the second first duration, the terminal device may switch the bootstrap page 2 in the display area of the hover control to bootstrap page 3 … … so that the terminal device may continuously switch the pages displayed in the display area of the hover control in response to the user input until the user will switch to the primary interface (i.e., the first interface) of the first application. The terminal device may then display the main interface of the first application full screen in the screen of the terminal device.

Illustratively, after the terminal device detects the content of the interface of the first application program, it is assumed that the terminal device detects that the interface of the first application program is the guide page 1 (i.e., the second interface) of the first application program. If the terminal equipment does not receive the input of the user to the suspension control within the first duration, the terminal equipment can switch the guide page 1 in the display area of the suspension control to the guide page 2 when the first duration is reached; if the terminal device does not receive the input of the user to the floating control within the second first duration, the terminal device may switch the guide page 2 in the display area of the floating control to the guide page 3 … … when the second first duration is reached, so that the terminal device may continuously switch the page displayed in the display area of the floating control until the terminal device will switch to the main interface (i.e., the first interface) of the first application program. The terminal device may then display the main interface of the first application full screen in the screen of the terminal device.

And S104E, displaying the first control in the display area of the suspension control by the terminal equipment under the condition that the terminal equipment detects that the interface of the first application program is the second interface, and displaying the first interface in a full screen mode if the input of the user to the first control is received within the second time period.

Optionally, when the terminal device detects that the interface of the first application program is the second interface, the terminal device displays the first control in the display area of the suspension control, and if the input of the user to the first control is not received yet when the second duration is reached, the first interface is displayed in a full screen mode.

For example, after the terminal device detects the content of the interface of the first application program, assuming that the terminal device detects that the interface of the first application program is the guide page 1 (i.e., the second interface) of the first application program, the terminal device may display the first control in the display area of the floating control, and start timing. If the input of the user to the first control is received in the second time period, the terminal equipment can display the first interface in a full screen mode; if the user input to the first control is not received when the time duration reaches the second time duration, the terminal device may display the first interface in full screen.

According to the progress display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the terminal equipment can display the interface of the first application program in the display area of the suspension control, and then determine when to display the first interface in a full screen mode according to the content of the interface of the first application program, so that the time of a user can be prevented from being wasted when the guide page, the advertisement page and the like are displayed in the full screen mode, and the experience of the user can be improved.

Optionally, after S102 described above, the progress displaying method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S106 and S107 described below.

And S106, under the condition that the time length of the first state of the downloading and installing progress of the first application program is longer than or equal to the third time length, the terminal equipment cancels the display of the suspension control and the first content.

It should be noted that, the third duration is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the third duration may be 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, or the like, and may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 7, the desktop interface 05 of the terminal device may display a hover control 02, and a display area of the hover control 02 displays "10% of installation of the application 1", that is, the download installation progress of the application 1 is in an installation progress state. If the download installation progress of the application 1 keeps the installation progress state greater than or equal to the third time period, the terminal device may cancel the display of the suspension control 02 and the first content, i.e., the suspension control 02 and the first content are in a hidden state, as shown in (b) of fig. 7.

S107, after the downloading and installing progress of the first application program is updated from the first state to the second state, the terminal equipment redisplays the suspension control and the first content;

wherein the first state and the second state are any one of the following: download progress status, download completed status, install progress status, install completed status.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the download and installation progress of the application program sequentially experiences a download progress state (i.e., the first application program is being downloaded), a download completion state (i.e., the first application program has completed downloading), an installation progress state (i.e., the first application program is being installed), and an installation completion state (i.e., the first application program has completed installing), and the first state and the second state may be two adjacent states of the four states. For example, if the first state is a download progress state, the second state may be a download completed state; if the first state is the download completion state, the second state may be the installation progress state; if the first state is the installation proceeding state, the second state may be the installation completed state.

Illustratively, the above-described FIG. 7 is still taken as an example. As shown in (b) of fig. 7, the terminal device may cancel the display of the hover control 02 and the first content. If the download installation progress of the application 1 is updated from the installation progress status to the installation completion status, the terminal device may redisplay the floating control 02 as shown in (a) of fig. 7, and the first content displayed in the display area of the floating control may be updated to "application 1 installation completed".

According to the progress display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, on one hand, when the time length of the downloading and installing progress of the application program in one state is longer than or equal to the third time length, the suspension control is canceled from being displayed, so that the suspension control can be prevented from shielding the interface content. On the other hand, when the state of the downloading and installing progress of the application program changes, the user can know the downloading and installing progress of the application program in time by redisplaying the suspension control.

Alternatively, in the case where the first application includes N applications, the first content may include N sub-contents. Accordingly, the above S102 may be specifically implemented by S102B described below. Further, after S102B, the progress displaying method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S108 and S109 described below.

S102B, the terminal equipment responds to the first input, updates one suspension control into N suspension controls, and displays one sub-content in a display area of each suspension control respectively.

Wherein each of the N sub-contents may be used to indicate a download installation progress of one application.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a suspension control in a conventional function mode may be displayed on a screen of the terminal device, or at least one suspension control in a target function mode may be displayed. Correspondingly, updating one suspension control to N suspension controls may specifically refer to canceling the display of one suspension control in the traditional function mode and displaying N suspension controls in the target function mode.

Illustratively, assume that the first application includes application 1, application 2, application 3, and application 4. As shown in (a) of fig. 8, after receiving the first input of the user, the terminal device may display 4 hover controls in the "application a swipe interface" 03, and the sub-content displayed in the display area of hover control 021 may be "application 1 installed complete", the sub-content displayed in the display area of hover control 022 may be "application 2 installed 50%", the sub-content displayed in the display area of hover control 023 may be "application 3 downloaded 90%", and the sub-content displayed in the display area of hover control 024 may be "application 4 downloaded 10%". In this way, the user can know the download and installation progress of the application 1, the application 2, the application 3 and the application 4 at the same time in the process of using the application a.

S108, the terminal equipment receives a third input of a user to a first suspension control in the N suspension controls.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first suspension control may be any one suspension control of N suspension controls.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third input may be a click input, a double click input, a long press input, or a drag input to the first suspension control. The method can be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

And S109, the terminal equipment responds to the third input, cancels the display of the N suspension controls and displays one suspension control.

Illustratively, as shown in (a) of fig. 8, in the case where the terminal device displays 4 hover controls in the target function mode, if the user wants to use some conventional functions provided by the hover controls for the user, the user can long press any one of the 4 hover controls, for example, hover control 024. After the terminal device receives the long press input of the user to the hover control 024 as shown in fig. 8 (a), the terminal device may cancel the display of the 4 hover controls and display the hover control 025 in the legacy function mode as shown in fig. 8 (b), so that the user may use some legacy functions of the hover control 025.

Optionally, the progress display method provided by the embodiment of the invention further includes: and the terminal equipment responds to the fourth input of the user to one suspension control, cancels the display of the one suspension control and redisplays the N suspension controls.

Illustratively, as shown in (b) of fig. 8, after the terminal device cancels the display of the 4 suspension controls and displays the suspension control 025 in the conventional function mode, if the user wants to view the download installation progress of the application 1, the application 2, the application 3, and the application 4 again, the user can press the suspension control 025 for a long time. After the terminal device receives the long press input of the user to the hover control 025 as shown in (b) of fig. 8, the terminal device may cancel the display of the hover control 025 and redisplay the hover control 021, hover control 022, hover control 023, and hover control 024 as shown in (a) of fig. 8.

According to the progress display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, on one hand, in the process of downloading and installing a plurality of application programs by the terminal equipment, the terminal equipment can display a plurality of suspension controls, so that a user can know the downloading and installing progress of each application program through each suspension control.
