Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the application. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic flow chart of a first embodiment of the first aspect of the application. As shown in fig. 1, the method may include:

s101, displaying a first interface on a desktop background, wherein the first interface is a user interface of a first application.

In one example, the desktop background may include desktop background of a screen of a display, terminal, or the like. The user interface of the application is displayed on the desktop background, and the desktop background can be replaced by the user interface of the application, or the user interface of the application can be covered on the desktop background.

In one example, the user interface may be displayed on a desktop background in full or non-full screen, as embodiments of the application are not limited in this regard. In the case that the user interface is full screen display, the user interface may occupy all of the display area of the desktop background; in the case where the user interface is not full screen display, the user interface may occupy only a portion of the display area of the desktop background.

S102, responding to the switching signal, and switching the first interface into a second interface on the desktop background, wherein the second interface is a user interface of the second application.

In one example, the switching signal may be a sliding signal, and the sliding operation corresponding to the sliding signal includes: a predetermined number of contacts slide from one position to another in a particular direction.

For example, the sliding operation may include: sliding from the left edge to the right of the screen, sliding from the right edge to the left of the screen, sliding from the upper edge to the lower edge of the screen, sliding from the lower edge to the upper side of the screen, or sliding in a specific direction from other positions of the screen. The sliding track can be a straight line or a curve. The start position, the sliding direction, the sliding distance, the sliding speed, the end position, the sliding track, and the like of the sliding operation may be selected and adjusted according to actual needs, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

In one example, the switching signal may also be a click signal, where a clicking operation corresponding to the click signal may be a single click, a continuous click, or a specific number of continuous points of at least one contact, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

In one example, the first application and the second application may be selected and adjusted as desired, e.g., the first application may be the application that is most frequently used within a time of use threshold, and the second application may be the application that is less frequently used within the time of use threshold. The first application and the second application may also be set manually by a user. Thus, the user interface displayed on the desktop background can be flexibly set. The embodiment of the application does not limit the setting modes of the first application and the second application.

For example, the first application and the second application may include a map application, an intelligent assistant application, a game application, a multimedia application, a system setting application, a phone application, an email application, a photo management application, a camera application, a browser application, a calendar application, a clock application, a payment application, a health management application, a financial management application, and the like, and the types of the first application and the second application are not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

In the embodiment of the application, the first interface is displayed on the desktop background, and the switching signal is responded to switch the first interface into the second interface on the desktop background, so that the second interface is displayed on the desktop background, the rapid switching of the first application and the second application can be realized, the interaction times when the applications are switched can be effectively reduced, the interaction efficiency is improved, and the interaction experience of a user is improved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the first application and the second application are respectively preset with priority information, and the method may further include:

and S201, responding to a preset operation signal, and displaying a user interface of an application with highest priority information in the first application and the second application on the desktop background. The preset operation signal includes, for example, a return screen signal and/or a device start signal. Thus, when the application is switched, the user interface of the application with the highest priority can be quickly switched. For example, priority information of an application with the highest frequency of use may be set in advance as the highest level so as to quickly switch to the user interface of the application with the highest frequency of use.

In one example, the operation corresponding to the return screen signal may include a return screen operation, such as clicking a HOME key. The operation corresponding to the device start signal may be a start operation of the device, for example, pressing a start key of the device. The operation modes of the return screen operation and the device start operation can be selected and adjusted according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the application is not limited to this.

It should be noted that fig. 2 is only an exemplary illustration of a case of executing the step S201, and is not limited to the execution sequence of the step S201, and it is understood that, in an embodiment of the present application, in response to a preset operation signal, a user interface of an application with highest priority information in the first application and the second application may be displayed on a desktop background.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method further comprises: the activity record of the first application 301 and the activity record of the second application 302 are stored in the first stack 313 of the task manager 303. The first application 301 and the second application 302 may represent desktop applications that need to be displayed on a desktop background through a user interface, and the first stack 313 may also be referred to as a desktop stack, and is used to store an activity record of the desktop applications.

For ease of understanding, the Activity records are described herein by taking the application Activity component (Activity) of the android system as an example. Each application is generally composed of at least one application active component (abbreviated as "active component" herein) for providing a module for interacting with a user, and each active component has a Window (Window) corresponding thereto, wherein the active component includes four states of an active (Running) State, a suspended (Running) State, a Stopped (supported) State, and a terminated (Killed) State, the Window (Window) is used for describing contents displayed by the user interface, an Activity Record (Activity Record) is used for recording the states of the components, window information (Window State) is used for representing updating of contents displayed by the user interface, and a transition of the active component states triggers updating of contents displayed by the user interface. The activity records are typically scheduled by a window manager in the system service of the device, and the window information is typically described by the window manager in the system service of the device.

In embodiments of the present application, a user interface may be comprised of at least one movable element. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the user interface of the first application 301 and the user interface of the second application 302 may each be constituted by one active component.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 4, since the task manager 401 of the existing device typically uses one stack 411 to store the activity records of all applications (including the application Launcher (Launcher) 402 and the normal application 403), and stores the activity record of the application Launcher 402 at the bottom of the stack, and associates the activity record with the operation of clicking the HOME key, when clicking the HOME key, the device returns to the desktop environment formed by the application Launcher.

In one embodiment, the method further comprises: in response to a preset operation signal, the task manager controls the activity records of the second application to pop off the first stack, so that the activity records of the first application are positioned at the stack top of the first stack, and a user interface corresponding to the activity records of the first application is displayed on the desktop background; the preset operation signal includes a return screen signal.

In one example, as shown in fig. 3, the activity record of the first application 301 and the activity record of the second application 302 may be stored in the first stack 313 of the task manager 303, and the activity record of the first application 301 may be associated with an operation of clicking the HOME key, so that when clicking the HOME key, the task manager 303 may call the activity record on the stack bottom of the first stack 313 to directly display a corresponding user interface on the desktop background, to implement dynamic jump to a specified user interface. For example, the activity record of the first application 301 may be stored at the bottom of the stack of the first stack 313, and when the HOME key is clicked, the task manager 303 controls the first stack 313 to perform a pop operation, and pop the activity record of the second application 302 located in the first stack 313, so that the activity record of the first application 301 is located at the top of the stack of the first stack 313, and the activity record of the first application 301 is in an active state, so that a user interface corresponding to the activity record of the first application 301 is displayed on the desktop background.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the method may include:

s501, when the device is started, starting a first application and at least one second application through a desktop manager of the device.

In one example, as shown in fig. 6A and 6B, a desktop manager 601 may be built into the application layer of the device's software architecture, replacing application launcher 402. Thus, when the device is started, the desktop manager 601 is used as a first started application, and the desktop manager 601 can start the first application and at least one second application, dynamically load user interfaces of a plurality of applications, and display the user interfaces of the first application on the desktop background.

It should be noted that, for a certain application, there may be a plurality of user interfaces therein. For example, in fig. 6B, the number of user interfaces of the first application and the second application is shown as 2, and the number of user interfaces of the third application 308 is shown as 3, any one of the user interfaces of the applications may be set in advance as a user interface that the application can display on the desktop background.

In one example, as shown in fig. 3 and 6A, when the desktop manager 601 is started, priority information of the first application and at least one second application may be registered in a system service of the device, and a task manager 303 and a window manager 304 in the system service may control a user interface of an application with highest priority information to be displayed on the desktop background according to the priority information. For example, in the case where the priority information of the first application is preset to be the highest level, the task manager 303 and the window manager 304 in the system service control the first interface to be displayed on the desktop background.

In particular, as shown in fig. 6A and 6B, the first application may be a map application 602 and the second application may include a plurality of, for example, a smart assistant application 603, a game application 604, and a multimedia application 605. When the desktop manager 601 is started, priority information of the map application 602, the intelligent assistant application 603, the game application 604 and the multimedia application 605 can be registered in a system service of the device, the priority information of the map application 602 is the highest level, and an activity manager and a window manager in the system service control a user interface of the map application 602 to be displayed on the desktop background of the screen 1.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the method further comprises:

s701, in response to a start signal for the third application, suspending and displaying a user interface of the third application on the first interface or the second interface. Thus, the quick switching among the first application, the second application and the third application can be realized.

In one example, the icon of the third application may be displayed in suspension on the first interface or the second interface, or hidden in a navigation control of the first interface or the second interface, so as to launch the third application by operating the icon of the third application. It can be appreciated that the icon of the third application may be hidden in other manners, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

In one example, the third application may include one or more, for example, two cases of the third application are shown in fig. 6B. The number of the third applications is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method may further comprise: the activity record of the third application 308 is stored in the second stack 323 of the task manager 303. Wherein the third application 308 may represent a generic application that needs to hover-display the user interface over the desktop background, the second stack 323 may also be referred to as a generic application stack for storing an activity record of the generic application. In this way, the task manager 303 may directly jump from the first stack 313 to the second stack 323, or directly jump from the second stack 323 to the first stack 313, and may utilize the jump between the first stack 313 and the second stack 312 to complete the switching between the first application 301 or the second application 302 and the third application 308, so as to reduce the number of times of pushing and popping the active record, save the computing resource, and improve the switching efficiency.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the first application includes first window information, the second application includes second window information, and the method may further include:

s801, under the condition that a synchronous signal of a second window synthesizer is received, the first window synthesizer refreshes the first window information and the second window information to synthesize a first interface and a second interface respectively.

In one example, referring to fig. 3 and 9, the first window synthesizer 305 synthesizes layer information corresponding to the first window information into a first interface, synthesizes layer information corresponding to the second window information into a second interface, and splices the first interface and the second interface. The stitched interface of the first interface and the second interface is then transferred to the frame buffer of the second window compositor 306 so that the second window compositor 306 can transfer the stitched interface to the screen controller 307. The synchronization signal may be generated by the second window synthesizer 306 at a preset time interval, and the layer information forming the user interface has a Z-axis value, where the Z-axis value represents the sequence of the layer information on the Z-axis, and the Z-axis is a virtual axis perpendicular to the screen plane, and is used to describe the occlusion relationship of the layer information.

In one embodiment, refreshing the first window information and the second window information may include: the first window synthesizer 305 refreshes the first window information at a first refresh rate and refreshes the second window information at a second refresh rate; wherein the first refresh frequency is greater than the second refresh frequency. Therefore, the second window information is refreshed in a mode that the second refresh frequency is lower than the first refresh frequency, so that the computing resources used for refreshing can be reduced, and the resource consumption is reduced.

In one example, the first window synthesizer 305 may refresh the second window information of the second application according to the priority information of the second application. For example, as shown in fig. 9, the first application may be one, the second application may be three, the first window synthesizer 305 may refresh the first window information of the first application at a refresh frequency of 60 frames/second, and the first window synthesizer 305 may lower the refresh frequency of the second application according to the priority information of the second application, and refresh the second window information of the three second applications at refresh frequencies of 30 frames/second, 15 frames/second, and 15 frames/second, respectively. It will be appreciated that the first window synthesizer 305 may also decrement the refresh frequency of the second window information according to the order of the priority information of the second application from high to low.

In one example, the first window synthesizer 305 may also refresh the second window information of the plurality of second applications at the same refresh frequency, as long as the refresh frequency of the second window information is lower than the refresh frequency of the first window information. The refresh frequencies of the first window information and the second window information can be selected and adjusted according to the needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, the switching signal includes a sliding signal, and the method further includes:

s1001, determining a sliding distance according to a sliding signal;

s1002, displaying a splicing interface of the first interface and the second interface on the desktop background under the condition that the sliding distance exceeds a threshold value within a preset time threshold value.

In the related art, when a plurality of applications are displayed by pressing a multi-window key, the interfaces in the screen except the interface laminated on the top layer are all still pictures. When an application corresponding to an interface laminated on the top layer needs to be switched to an application corresponding to a static picture, the application corresponding to the interface needs to be re-activated by using the static picture, and a user interface can be displayed, which causes unsmooth switching of pictures.

However, in the embodiment of the present application, since the first interface 1101 and the second interface 1102 may be dynamically loaded, the first interface 1101 and the second interface 1102 may be simultaneously displayed on the desktop background of the screen 1 by displaying the spliced interface of the first interface 1101 and the second interface 1102 on the desktop background of the screen 1 under the condition that the sliding distance of the sliding signal is detected to satisfy the condition that the sliding distance exceeds the preset threshold distance within the preset time threshold, so that the switching picture is smooth.

It will be appreciated that upon detecting that the specified number of contacts continue to slide to the right a distance corresponding to 10 pixels within 100ms, the display of the first interface resumes.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, the sliding direction may be determined according to the sliding signal, and a stitching interface of the first interface and the second interface is displayed on the desktop background, including:

s1201, according to the sliding direction, the first interface 1101 and the second interface 1102 are spliced to form a spliced interface.

In one example, splicing the first interface and the second interface to form a spliced interface according to a sliding direction includes:

For example, when the sliding direction is from left to right, the left edge of the first interface is spliced with the right edge of the second interface; when the sliding direction is from right to left, splicing the right edge of the first interface with the left edge of the second interface; when the sliding direction is from top to bottom, splicing the upper edge of the first interface with the lower edge of the second interface; and when the sliding direction is from bottom to top, splicing the lower edge of the first interface with the upper edge of the second interface.

The first interface and the second interface may be spliced horizontally or vertically. The sliding direction may also be from top left to bottom right, top right to bottom left, and so on. When the sliding direction is other, various directions in the other directions can be associated with one of the horizontal splicing and the vertical splicing, so that when the sliding direction is other, smooth switching between the first interface and the second interface can be realized.

S1202, controlling the splicing interface to slide along the sliding direction by a sliding distance so as to display a partial area of the splicing interface on the desktop background.

For example, when a specified number of contacts are detected to slide to the left by a distance corresponding to 10 pixels within 100ms, the spliced interface of the first interface 1101 and the second interface 1102 is controlled to slide to the left by a distance corresponding to 10 pixels, so that a partial area of the spliced interface after 10 pixels of the left slide is displayed on the desktop background.
