After receiving the sharing request sent by the second electronic device, the first electronic device can perform a subsequent sharing process.

Step 102: and under the condition that the target application is contained in the application set corresponding to the second electronic equipment, responding to the sharing request, and displaying an operation interface of the target application in a virtual screen.

The target application is installed on the first electronic device, and after receiving the sharing request, the first electronic device can determine whether the target application exists in the application set corresponding to the second electronic device, that is, determine whether the target application is included in the application set corresponding to the second electronic device, and if the target application is included in the application set corresponding to the second electronic device, the target application can be displayed in a running interface of the target application in a virtual screen in response to the sharing request. The first electronic device responds only when the second electronic device requests to share the application in the application set, and displays an operation interface of the application requested to be shared by the second electronic device in the virtual screen. It can be understood that, in a case that the second electronic device requests to share the application in the application set, the first electronic device supports sharing the target application to the second electronic device, and the application set may be understood as an application that the first electronic device supports sharing for the second electronic device, and may also be understood as an application that can be shared to the second electronic device. And under the condition that the target application package is not contained in the application set corresponding to the second electronic device, the target application requested to be shared by the second electronic device is not in the application set, that is, the first electronic device does not support the sharing of the target application to the second electronic device, that is, for the second electronic device, the first electronic device does not support the sharing of the target application.

Step 103: sharing the running interface of the target application displayed in the virtual screen to the second electronic device.

And displaying the running interface of the target application in the virtual screen, and sharing the running interface of the target application displayed in the virtual screen to the target electronic equipment, so that the target application is shared.

After the sharing request is received, the target application requested by the sharing request can be started in the application set corresponding to the second electronic device, a virtual screen is created, and an operation interface is displayed in the virtual screen, namely the target application is still operated. At this time, the user may still perform other operations on the first electronic device, for example, related operations on other applications and performing other function operations, and the operations of the user on the first electronic device are not affected by the target application sharing.

In one embodiment, creating a virtual screen and displaying an execution interface of the target application in the virtual screen may include: and creating a virtual screen in the background, and displaying the running interface of the target application in the virtual screen.

The virtual screen is established in the background, namely, the virtual screen runs in the background, and the running interface of the target application runs in the virtual screen, namely, the target application can run in the background after being started, namely, the target application needing to be shared does not influence the operation on the foreground main screen, namely the main screen. In one example, it can be understood that the target application is started in a background, and the target application runs in a virtual screen created in the background after the target application is started, that is, in the application sharing process, the target application does not need to be required to run in the foreground, and after the sharing request is received, the target application is started in the background, and the virtual screen is created in the background, and the target application runs in the virtual screen.

In one embodiment, before the receiving the sharing request for the target application sent by the second electronic device, the method further includes: adding M first applications in the first electronic equipment into an application set corresponding to second electronic equipment, wherein M is a positive integer.

That is, an application set corresponding to the second electronic device needs to be predetermined, a plurality of applications are installed in the first electronic device, and M first applications in the plurality of applications can be added to the application set corresponding to the second electronic device in advance, where M is not greater than N. Therefore, the corresponding application set can be set for the second electronic device to meet different application sharing requirements.

In one embodiment, before the receiving the sharing request for the target application sent by the second electronic device, the method further includes:

The application sets corresponding to the N second electronic devices are the same, that is, the N second electronic devices each include the M first applications. The method may be understood as establishing a corresponding relationship between N target account ids and M pieces of first application identification information, where the target account ids and the application identification information are in a one-to-M relationship, that is, one target account id corresponds to M pieces of first application identification information, and may be understood as one second electronic device corresponds to M pieces of first applications, that is, one application set.

That is, in this embodiment, before receiving the sharing request to share the application, it is necessary to determine the application that the first electronic device can share with the second electronic device, and the M application identifiers may be understood as the sharable application that the first electronic device provides for the N target accounts, that is, the sharable application that is provided for the N electronic devices. For example, the M application identifiers include an application identifier 1, an application identifier 2, and an application identifier 3, and the N target account identifiers include an account identifier 1, an account identifier 2, and an account identifier 3, so that the applications of the three application identifiers can be requested to be shared by each account identifier, an account is logged in on the second electronic device, and the applications of the three application identifiers can be requested to be shared by the second electronic device where each account identifier is located.

In an example, the method may further include uploading the M first application identification information and the N target account identifications to a server, where the server records the first electronic device, and a second electronic device where the N target account identifications are located may share the M first application identification information formed by pulling the recorded first electronic device to the server, so as to share the M first application identification information with the N target account identifications. Or the M first application identifiers may be shared with the N target account identifiers in other manners, for example, the M application identifiers are all directly sent to the second electronic device where the N target account identifiers are located, which is not limited herein.

In one embodiment, obtaining M first application identification information includes: displaying identification information of at least one candidate application; receiving a first selection operation of M first identification information in the identification information of at least one candidate application to obtain M first application identification information. I.e. the M first application identification information belongs to identification information of at least one candidate application.

The candidate application is installed on the first electronic device and is an application which can be shared by the first electronic device to other electronic devices. And displaying identification information, such as an application name, of the at least one candidate application on a display screen of the first electronic equipment for a user to view and select. The user may select from the identification information of the at least one candidate application, for example, perform a first selection operation on the M first application identification information, that is, the M first application identification information may be obtained, where the application identification information is information for distinguishing different applications.

In this embodiment, the manner of obtaining the N target account ids includes: displaying account identifications of at least one candidate account; and receiving second selection operation of N target account identifications in the account identifications of the at least one candidate account to obtain the N target account identifications.

The account can be understood as a communication account, and the account identifier is a communication account identifier and is information for distinguishing different accounts. An account identification, e.g., an account name, of the at least one candidate account may be displayed on the first electronic device display screen for viewing and selection by the user. The account identifier for performing application sharing on the first electronic device is a first account identifier, and the first account logs in the first electronic device to perform application sharing, that is, the account identifier for performing application sharing on the first electronic device is a first account identifier (corresponding to the first account). In one example, the first account identifier may be a telephone number, and the account identifier of the at least one candidate account may be an account identifier in an address book associated with the first account identifier.

In one embodiment, in response to the sharing request, displaying a running interface of the target application in a virtual screen, including: responding to the sharing request, and displaying a prompt window; and receiving a first operation in the prompt window, and responding to the first operation to display the running interface of the target application in the virtual screen.

After receiving the sharing request, a prompt window needs to be displayed to prompt a user whether to authorize the current application sharing, if the user performs a first operation on the prompt window, the first operation is received, in response to the first operation, an operation interface of the target application can be displayed in the virtual screen, and the operation interface of the target application displayed on the virtual screen is subsequently shared to the second electronic device. I.e. each time a first electronic device is requested to share, a separate authorization is required, the first operation being used to indicate the authorization. And if the user performs the second operation in the prompt window, indicating that the user is not authorized, receiving the second operation in the prompt window, responding to the second operation, and sending prompt information to the second electronic device, wherein the prompt information is used for prompting that the second electronic device cannot share the second operation. For example, a first control (e.g., an approval control) and a second control (e.g., a rejection control) are included in the prompt window, a first operation on the first control is received, and a running interface of the target application is displayed in the virtual screen in response to the first operation. And sending prompt information to the second electronic equipment when receiving the second operation on the second control. In an example, when the target application is included in the application set corresponding to the second electronic device, in response to the sharing request, the running interface of the target application may be displayed in the virtual screen, without prompting, indicating that the first electronic device is not aware when requested to be shared, and directly displaying the running interface of the target application and subsequent processes in the virtual screen, that is, without authorization each time, authorization for lifelong use is performed.

In one example, displaying identification information of at least one candidate application may include: receiving a third operation on an application icon of a second application; and responding to the third operation, displaying a first interface, wherein the first interface comprises the identification information of at least one candidate application.

The second application is an application program capable of realizing an application sharing function, an application icon of the second application is displayed on a display screen of the first electronic device, and a user performs a third operation on the application icon, for example, a click operation. And responding to the third operation, namely displaying the first interface, and displaying the identification information of the at least one candidate application in the first interface. In this way, the display of the identification information can be realized by the first application, so that the selection of the target application can be realized by the first application.

In one example, displaying the account identifier of the at least one candidate account, which may be displayed after obtaining the M pieces of application identification information, may include: and displaying a second interface, wherein the account identification of the at least one candidate account is included in the second interface. That is, after the identification information is selected in the first interface and the application identification information is obtained, the second interface may be displayed on the display screen, that is, the first interface is switched to the second interface, and the account identification of the at least one candidate account is displayed in the second interface. In this way, the display of the account identifier can be implemented by the second application, so that the selection of the target account identifier can be implemented by the second application.

In one embodiment, the sharing request includes identification information of the target application. The identification information can uniquely indicate the corresponding target application, namely after receiving the sharing request, the target application needing to be shared can be determined based on the identification information carried by the target application, so that the application needing to be shared can be rapidly and accurately positioned in the following.

In one embodiment, the receiving a sharing request for a target application sent by a second electronic device includes:

receiving sharing requests aiming at j target applications sent by i second electronic devices;

the displaying of the running interface of the target application in the virtual screen includes:

respectively displaying the running interfaces of the j target applications in the j virtual screens;

wherein i, j is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and j is less than or equal to i.

Under the condition that i is greater than 1, that is, different second electronic devices may request application sharing from the first electronic device, the applications that different second electronic devices request sharing may be the same or different, the i second electronic devices send i sharing requests, and if the sharing requests include identification information of a target application, identification information of the target application included in the i sharing requests may be the same or different. If the same application exists in the applications requested to be shared by the i second electronic devices, j is smaller than i, and if the applications requested to be shared by the i second electronic devices are different, j is equal to i. The number of the created virtual screens can be determined according to the number of different target applications aimed at by the i second electronic devices, namely, the different applications run in the different virtual screens correspondingly, and the same applications requested by the different second electronic devices run in the same virtual screen.

For example, i is 3, the 3 second electronic devices are device B, device C, and device D, respectively, and the device B, the device C, and the device D respectively send shares for different applications. If the sharing request carries identification information of an application, for example, the identification information of the application carried in the sharing request respectively sent by the device B, the device C, and the device D respectively corresponds to an application identifier 1, an application identifier 2, and an application identifier 3, that is, the application requested to be shared by each second electronic device is different, j is 3, the first electronic device needs to create 3 virtual screens after receiving the sharing request respectively sent by the 3 second electronic devices, an application running interface is displayed on each virtual screen, that is, an application running interface corresponding to the application identifier 1, an application running interface corresponding to the application identifier 2, and an application running interface corresponding to the application identifier 3 are respectively displayed, and the running interface displayed in each virtual screen is shared to the corresponding second electronic device. For example, the running interface of the application corresponding to the displayed application identifier 1 is sent to the device B, the running interface of the application corresponding to the displayed application identifier 2 is sent to the device C, and the running interface of the application corresponding to the displayed application identifier 3 is sent to the device D.

For another example, the device B and the device C transmit a sharing request for the same application, and the application for which the sharing request transmitted by the device D is different from the application for which the device B is configured. For example, if the sharing request includes identification information of an application, for example, identification information of an application carried in the sharing request sent by the device B, the device C, and the device D respectively corresponds to an application identification 1, and an application identification 3, that is, the applications requested to be shared by the device B and the device C are the same, j is 2, after receiving the sharing request sent by the 3 second electronic devices respectively, the first electronic device needs to create 2 virtual screens, each virtual screen displays an application running interface, that is, the application running interface corresponding to the application identification 1 and the application running interface corresponding to the application identification 3 are displayed respectively, and the application running interfaces displayed by the virtual screens are sent to the corresponding second electronic devices respectively. For example, the running interface of the application corresponding to the displayed application identifier 1 is sent to the device B and the device C, and the running interface of the application corresponding to the displayed application identifier 3 is sent to the device D.

Referring to fig. 2, in an embodiment, an application sharing method applied to a second electronic device is provided, the method includes:

step 201: and sending a sharing request to the first electronic equipment.

Namely, the second electronic device requests application sharing from the first electronic device in an active mode, and the first electronic device passively shares the application when receiving the sharing request. The sharing request is a sub-request for the target application, namely requesting the sharing of the target application.

Step 202: and receiving and displaying an operation interface of the target application sent by the first electronic equipment based on the sharing request.

After receiving a sharing request aiming at a target application sent by second electronic equipment, first electronic equipment responds to the sharing request and displays an operation interface of the target application in a virtual screen under the condition that the target application is contained in an application set corresponding to the second electronic equipment, and the operation interface of the target application displayed in the virtual screen is shared to the second electronic equipment. And thus, receiving and displaying an operation interface of the target application sent by the first electronic device based on the sharing request. After the running interface of the target application is the first electronic device, the first electronic device receives a sharing request for the target application sent by the second electronic device, and under the condition that the target application is included in an application set corresponding to the second electronic device, the running interface of the target application is displayed in a virtual screen in response to the sharing request, and the running interface of the target application is displayed in the virtual screen shared by the second electronic device.

According to the application sharing method, the sharing request is sent to the first electronic device, the running interface of the target application sent by the first electronic device based on the sharing request is received and displayed, and sharing of the target application is achieved. It can be understood that in the process of sharing the application, subsequent sharing is performed based on the sharing request sent by the second electronic device, application sharing is achieved through the running interface of the sharing target application, other functions of the device are not affected, the user can still operate on the first electronic device, and the utilization rate of the device can be improved.

In an embodiment, before sending the sharing request to the first electronic device, the method may further include: receiving M pieces of first application identification information shared by first electronic equipment, wherein the M pieces of first application identification information comprise identification information of a target application.

In the first electronic device, sharable applications need to be determined, the M pieces of first application identification information can be understood as identification information of the applications that the first electronic device provides for the N target accounts and can be shared, the electronic device where the N target account identifications are located includes the second electronic device, and the processes of obtaining the application identification information and the account identifications can be different for many times, that is, identification information of more sharable applications can be provided for more accounts. And the first electronic equipment shares the acquired M pieces of first application identification information to the N pieces of target account identification. The second electronic device, as an electronic device of the electronic devices where the N target account identifiers are located, may receive the M first application identifier information shared by the first electronic device.

In one example, a first electronic device may upload M first application identification information and N target account identifications to a server, and a second electronic device may pull the M first application identification information shared by the first electronic device from the server, so as to receive the M first application identification information. Or the first electronic device may share the M first application identification information with the N target account identifications in other manners, for example, if the M first application identification information is all directly sent to the electronic device where the N target account identifications are located, the second electronic device may receive the M first application identification information directly sent by the first electronic device.

In one embodiment, sending the sharing request to the first electronic device may include: receiving a third selection operation of the target application identification information in the M pieces of first application identification information; and responding to the third selection operation, and sending a sharing request to the first electronic equipment.

After obtaining the M pieces of first application identification information, the second electronic device may request sharing of any one of applications corresponding to the M pieces of first application identification information, and the user may select an application to be shared, that is, target application identification information, and then send a sharing request carrying the target application identification information to the first electronic device. And the application corresponding to the target application identification information is the target application. In one example, the third selection operation may be a click operation or the like.

In one example, receiving a third selection operation of the target application identification information from the M first application identification information may include: receiving a fourth operation of an application icon of a second application on a display screen of the second electronic device; responding to the fourth operation, displaying a third interface, wherein the third interface comprises M pieces of first application identification information; and receiving a third selection operation of the target application identification information in the third interface.

The second application is an application program capable of realizing an application sharing function, an application icon of the second application is displayed on a display screen of the second electronic device, and a user performs a fourth operation on the application icon, for example, a click operation. And responding to the fourth operation, namely displaying a third interface and displaying M pieces of first application identification information in the third interface. In this way, the display of the first application identification information can be realized by the second application, so that the selection of the target application identification can be realized by the second application.

The above application sharing process is described in detail with reference to an embodiment. The first electronic device is device a1, the target application is application X, and the second electronic device is device D1.

Firstly, the device a1 displays a home screen, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of application icons of applications are displayed on the device a1 home screen, where the application icons include an application icon of a second application, and an application function sharing function can be implemented by the second application, that is, the second application is an application capable of implementing application sharing, the second application is opened, and determination of an application identifier to be shared, determination of a target account identifier, and the like can be implemented by operating in the second application.

For example, clicking an application icon of the second application, displaying a first interface, and displaying the identification information (which may be understood as an identification information list) of the at least one candidate application in the first interface, as shown in fig. 4, the first interface is an add application interface. For example, the at least one candidate application includes application X, application Y, application Z, application 1, application 2, application 3, application 4, application 5, and application 6, and application names of application X, application Y, and application Z correspond to X, Y and Z, respectively. If the user is an application X, an application Y, and an application Z sharable by the second electronic device, the application names of the application X, the application Y, and the application Z may be found by browsing from the displayed identification information list, so that a sharable application white list may be established, that is, M first application identification information, including identification information of the application X, identification information of the application Y, and identification information of the application Z. Then, a second interface may be displayed in the device a1, as shown in fig. 5, that is, an add share object interface, where account identifications of at least one candidate account are displayed, as shown in fig. 5, where the account identifications of the at least one candidate account include account B, account C, account D, account E, account F, and account G, and a user may select among them, as shown in fig. 5, select account D and account E, so that a sharable account white list may be established, that is, N target account identifications including account identification of account D and account identification of account E. Subsequent device a1 may share the application identification of the selected sharable application X, the application identification of application Y, and the application identification of application Z to account D and account E.

In this way, the sharable application identification information and the account identification shared by this device a1 may be displayed on the device a1, as shown in fig. 6, that is, the application identification information includes X, Y and Z, and the account identification includes account D and account E, that is, X, Y and Z are shared for account D and account E. Other sharable identification information shared by the device 1 and the account identification may also be displayed, for example, the shared other application identification information in fig. 6 includes the application 1 and the application 2, and the account identification includes the account F, that is, the sharable application 1 and the application 2 are shared for the account F. Additionally, application identification information and account identification that others share with the first account identification (e.g., identification of account a) on device a1, such as application 3 and application 4 that account D shares with account a in fig. 6, may also be displayed.

On device D1, sharable identification information and account identification shared by device D1 may also be displayed, as shown in fig. 7, i.e., application 1, application 2, and application 4, and account B and account C, i.e., sharable application 1, application 2, and application 4 are shared with accounts B and C, and device D1 may also be displayed to share other sharable identification information and account identification, e.g., application 1 and application 2 in fig. 7, and accounts F and G, i.e., sharable application 1 and application 2 are shared with accounts F and G. Additionally, identification information and account identification that others share to a second account identification (e.g., identification of account D) on device D1 may also be displayed, as account a in fig. 7 shares sharable application X, application Y, and application Z to account D.

On the device D1, the user selects the application X, sends a sharing request requesting to share the application X to the device a1, where the sharing request carries the application identifier of the application X, and may notify the sharing request to the device a1 through the server.

The device a1 receives a sharing request for the application X from the account D, and starts to execute an application sharing action if the application X is in an application set that the device a can share to the device D1, and the device D1 displays a running interface including the application X, so that the user can use the application X normally. The sharing application X is shown as a sharing state. Wherein, whether to pop up the request confirmation box (i.e., the prompt window), the device a1 controls the execution according to the preset response authority. For example, it may be set whether a response is required when the device D1 requests sharing, and if no response is required, it may be possible to make the device a1 unaware when the sharing is requested, i.e., one-time authorization for lifetime use. If a reply is required then a separate authorization is required each time device a1 is requested to share.

For example, application icons of several applications are displayed on the home screen of the device D1, as shown in fig. 8. Clicking an application icon of the second application to display a third interface, as shown in fig. 9, where the third interface is a sharing circle interface on the device D1 in fig. 9, and the user may select an application shared by another person in the third interface, for example, select an application X shared by an account a on the device a1, and then may send a sharing request carrying an application identifier of the application X to the device a 1. If a response is required, after receiving the sharing request sent by the device D1, the device a1 displays a prompt window, as shown in fig. 10, where the prompt window includes a rejection control and an agreement control, and also includes information that "D1 is requesting to share reference X" to you, and when the user clicks the agreement control, the user may respond to the click operation, create a virtual screen in the background, start the application X, and the application X runs in the virtual screen, and shares the running interface of the application X to the device D1. The device D1 receives and displays the execution interface of the application X shared by the device a1, as shown in fig. 11, in which the main screen is the main screen. If no response is needed, after receiving the sharing request sent by the device D1, the device a1 may create a virtual screen in the background, start the application X, display an operation interface of the application X in the virtual screen, share the operation interface with the device D1, that is, after receiving the sharing request, it is not necessary to perform authorization confirmation, that is, it is not necessary to display a prompt window, so that it is not necessary for the user to perform control clicking for authorization confirmation, and the application icons of each application are still displayed in the foreground on the device a1, that is, as shown in fig. 3.

In the above process, the device a1 serves as a sharing end, and the device D1 serves as a receiving end, where the sharing end and the receiving end may be interchanged, that is, the device a1 may also serve as a receiving end, and the device D1 serves as a sharing end, and serves as a sharing application for the device a 1. For different corresponding applications in the identification information list, the cross sharing among multiple accounts can be completed only by requesting connection of different accounts (corresponding to different devices) according to the process.
