The historical setting information comprises at least one item of setting operation information, wherein one item of setting operation information can correspond to one item of setting operation executed on the electronic equipment by a user at a historical moment, the historical moment is any moment before the first input is received, for example, the first input is received at 6, month and 5 in 2019, and the electronic equipment generates one corresponding item of setting operation information based on the setting operation that the user modifies the incoming call ringtone of the electronic equipment at 6, month and 2, XX: XX (representing specific time and subsequent similarity) in 2019; for another example, based on the setting operation that the user modifies the screen saver of the electronic device in 2019 on 6/3/YY: YY, the electronic device generates another corresponding item of setting operation information.

Optionally, the history setting information may include, in addition to at least one item of setting operation information, a time point (or operation time point) corresponding to each item of setting operation information, where the time point may be a system time (for example, beijing time) when the user performs a certain item of setting operation.

The setting operation (performed by the user on the electronic device) mentioned in the embodiments of the present specification may include at least one of:

1) installing or deleting an APP;

2) changing the setting of the APP, for example, changing the interface style of the APP, changing the access permission of the APP from allowing access to the address book to prohibiting access to the address book, and the like, where the electronic device may specifically obtain relevant parameters for changing the setting of the APP from a configuration file of the APP;

3) changing operating system settings, e.g., changing screensavers, wallpapers, ringtones, changing camera parameters (e.g., changing photo resolution from 6M to 48M), changing Wi-Fi settings (e.g., changing to allow simultaneous use of 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi modes to use only 5G Wi-Fi mode), changing display brightness, etc.;

4) changing the version or patch of the operating system, for example, upgrading the operating system of the electronic device from 6.0 version to 7.0 version, etc., installing one or more patches of the operating system, or uninstalling one or more patches;

5) adding, deleting, or modifying a target file, for example, receiving and storing one or more photographs, deleting one or more video files, editing one office file, or the like.

The target setting information mentioned in the embodiments of the present specification is selected in the history setting information by the first input of the user, and may be a part or all of the history setting information.

Alternatively, the target setting information may be one or more pieces of setting operation information in the history setting information. In this embodiment, the first input includes a restore input based on the setting operation option.

Alternatively, the target setting information may be a time point corresponding to one or more items of setting operation information. In this embodiment, the first input is a time-point (or time-based option) based restore input.

To describe the setting restoration method of the electronic device in detail, a specific embodiment is described below, where the embodiment is described by taking an example that the electronic device is a mobile phone. The embodiment adds a mobile phone one-key restoration function based on a time axis, so that a user can restore the state of the electronic equipment before a certain time point as required, or rollback one or more setting operations according to the setting operation options.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment integrally comprises the following three aspects:

firstly, recording setting operation information of at least each time point, wherein the setting operation information comprises a set object and set content; and storing each recorded setting operation information and the corresponding operation time point in an associated manner to generate historical setting information.

Specifically, for example, when the user performs add, delete, and change operations on the APP and the system setting, the monitoring process records the setting operation of the user to generate setting operation information, and generates history setting information in combination with the timestamp.

Second, the user is notified of recent history setting information.

Displaying the stored historical setting information according to a preset sequence of the operation time points; wherein the historical setup operation information includes at least one time option and at least one setup operation option.

Specifically, for example, the setting operations of APP and system setting changes are shown in the screen pull-down menu, and the last 1 month, the last 7 days, and the last 1 day are displayed in reverse order in the manner of a time axis.

Thirdly, when the user desires to execute the setting and restoring operation, a corresponding interface is provided for the user to select the setting operation needing restoring, and the background process realizes the operation of restoring the state of the electronic equipment.

The above three aspects will be described in detail below:

as shown in fig. 2, the mobile phone operating system according to the embodiment of the present invention is embedded with a monitoring process, and when the mobile phone is started immediately after being powered on, the monitoring process 21 (monitor process in fig. 2) can monitor a mobile phone system background process 22 (other processes in fig. 2) in real time.

Optionally, the monitoring process is executed by a system user, and is not changeable by a common user. When the user installs or deletes the APP or modifies the setting of the operating system of the mobile phone, the monitoring process can record the setting operations of the user in the background and store the setting operations in a local file or a database in combination with the timestamp.

When a user installs, deletes and modifies the mobile phone APP or modifies the setting of the operating system, the monitoring process records in real time and stores the recording in a background file, and then informs the user in a notification mode. When the user clicks on the notification, or strokes down from the top of the screen, the first level menu can be categorized as the last 1 day, the last 7 days, and the last 1 month.

After the user clicks the first-level menu, the second-level menu can display the setting operation of the user in a reverse order in a XXXX month XX day XX: XX mode in XXXXXX year. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, if the user triggers the setting operation recording menu of "the last day", the setting operation of the user in the last day may be displayed.

When the user wants to go back to the previous setting operation singly or in batches, the user can find the menu for one-key restoration in the setting page of the mobile phone, namely 'setting- > restoring- > one-key restoration'.

Specifically, for example, if the user clicks the "one-touch restore" setting page, the setting operation of the user may be displayed in a time-reversed manner, and a function button for entering the "one-touch restore 41" is provided in the lower page of the setting page, and specifically, as shown in fig. 4, three items of setting operation information and corresponding operation time points 42 are displayed through a time axis in fig. 4.

When the user clicks the "restore with one click 41" button, the embodiment may also present an alert prompt, as shown in fig. 5, to prompt the user to risk data loss, to let the user confirm "agree 51" or "cancel 52", as far as the obligation to notify the user of the risk is concerned, as shown in fig. 5.

If the user clicks the "cancel 52" button, the "restore by one" menu is exited. If the user clicks the "agree 51" button, the next step is taken, and the user can select two reduction modes, i.e., "time-point-based reduction 61" or "operation-option-based reduction 62", as shown in fig. 6, which will be described below separately.

If the user selects "restore based on time point 61", as shown in fig. 7, the electronic device state (or configuration) before the selected time node can be returned to as a whole, and the setting operations performed by the user at this time node and thereafter are all disabled, as shown in fig. 7, the user selects to return to the electronic device configuration before 2019/6/1712:00: 00.

When the user confirms that the 'time point-based restoration 61' is performed, the setting operation information of 2019/6/1712:00:00 and later is cleared, namely, the mobile phone assistant software installed at 2019/6/1712:00:00 is uninstalled; of course, the notification authority for modifying the mobile phone assistant at 12:00:00 does not exist any more; the ring tone of the handset modified by the user 2019/6/1717: 09:03 will also be reverted to the ring tone of the handset before modification.

Of course, in other embodiments, after the user confirms that the "time-point-based restore 61" is performed, the setting operation information after 2019/6/1712:00:00 is cleared, and the setting operation corresponding to the time point selected by the user is retained. As shown in fig. 8, the "one-click restore" background process will "modify the system settings: the mobile phone ring tone operation is returned to the previous ring tone or default ring tone, and the user resumes the operation by failing to restore the setting page by one-touch.

If the user selects "option-based restore 62," the selected setup operations may be restored individually or in batches, with only the selected setup operations being disabled. As shown in fig. 9, the history setting information shown in fig. 9 includes three setting operation options 91, which are respectively to install the handset assistant software; modifying the notification authority of the mobile phone assistant; in fig. 9, the target setting operation option 91 selected by the user is to modify the notification authority of the cell phone assistant and modify the system setting cell phone ring, that is, "modify the notification authority of the cell phone assistant" and "modify the system setting before the user wants to cancel: setting the ring tone of the mobile phone.

After the option-based restoration is performed by the "one-touch restore" background process, the interface displays that the selected setting operation information is cleared, and the "modify notification authority of the mobile phone assistant" is restored to the configuration before 2019/6/1712:00:00 or the default configuration of the mobile phone, and the "modify system setting: the ring tone of the phone is restored to the previous ring tone of the phone or the default ring tone of the phone. The user is typically unable to resume the operation by "one-touch restore". If recovery is desired, only the notification authority of the cell phone assistant can be revised or the ring tone of the cell phone can be reset.

Alternatively, if the user chooses to rollback a software APP installation, then it is rolled back along with the APP-related configuration, such as deleting the APP and deleting the APP's configuration files.

The invention can provide the repentance opportunity for the user, can friendly show which setting operations the user has done, is simple and convenient for the user to restore the previous electronic equipment setting by one key, is convenient to operate, relieves the complex operation that the user needs to restore one by one aiming at a large number of setting operations, does not need the user to remember which setting operations are executed to the end, and improves the performance of the mobile phone.

Optionally, in order to reduce the difficulty of development, the range of the one-key restoring function of the mobile phone may be limited to: adding, deleting and modifying mobile phone APP, adding, deleting and modifying system settings, changing versions and patches of an operating system, and recovering deleted local data, such as recovering manually deleted pictures and videos.

It should be noted that if the user deletes local data such as pictures, videos, files, etc. by mistake, the user wants to restore the files; or the system is slowed down after the user upgrades the operating system, and the previous version is required to be backed up, so that the file deleted by the user or the system installation package can be stored, and the file can be stored in the cloud server in order to save the storage space of the electronic equipment. For the system installation package, for a plurality of users, the system installation package can be shared and used in a cloud end, so that the storage space is further saved.

The setting restoration method of the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail above with reference to fig. 1 to 10. An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 11, where fig. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention.
