For an electronic device including multiple display screens, such as a dual-screen device, the picture display area may include: the screen is displayed on the main screen (front screen), the screen is displayed on the sub screen (rear screen), and the like. For an electronic device having a flexible screen, the picture display area may include: the picture is displayed in the area of the unfolded flexible screen, the picture is displayed in the first area (front screen) of the folded flexible screen, the picture is displayed in the second area (rear screen) of the folded flexible screen, and the picture is displayed in the 'crease' area of the folded flexible screen.

And displaying a first identifier in a target area associated with the target object, specifically for example, the target object is an application icon of a network chat program installed in the electronic device, and the network chat program is associated with a network connection function, and the current network connection mode is a Wi-Fi network. At this time, the Wi-Fi identifier (i.e., the first identifier) is displayed in the upper right corner of the application icon of the network chat program, and may also be displayed in a specific window or other display. The specific range of the target area is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

When a user wants to switch the networking function of the network chat program, for example, to switch to a 5G network, the user performs a first input on the Wi-Fi identifier, and after receiving the first input, displays identifiers of a plurality of networking modes, such as a 4G identifier, a 5G identifier, a Bluetooth identifier and the like, which are associated with the network chat program and are possessed by the current electronic device, around the network chat program, or through a pop-up window and the like. And the user selects the 5G identifier from the identifiers and carries out second input, at the moment, the electronic equipment replaces the Wi-Fi identifier with the 5G identifier, and simultaneously, the networking function of the network chat program is switched to access the network through 5G network connection.

In an embodiment of the present application, before step 102, fig. 3 shows a third flowchart of a function switching method of the embodiment of the present application, specifically:

step 302, displaying a function switch;

in step 302, the function switch is used to turn on or off the function switching function.

Step 304, receiving a third input to the function switch;

step 306, in response to the third input, the function switching function is turned on.

The third input is a user input received through the human-computer interaction component, and the specific form of the third input is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

Specifically, fig. 4 shows a fourth display schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, in which a setting menu page 402 is displayed in the electronic device 400, a function switch 404 (here, the function switch takes an "intelligent network switch" as an example) may be displayed in the setting menu page 402 of the electronic device, and a user clicks on the setting menu page 402 entering the electronic device and clicks on the "intelligent network switch" in the setting menu page 402 to "turn on" or "turn off" the function switch 404. In fig. 4, "WLAN", "Wi-Fi 1", "mobile network", "SIM 1", and the like are identified as examples, and do not have actual meanings.

Fig. 5 shows a fifth display diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, where the electronic device 400 includes a shortcut center menu 502, the function switch 404 (for example, an intelligent network switch) can also be displayed in the shortcut center menu 502 such as "shortcut control center", and a user calls out the shortcut control center menu 502 by "drag-up", "pull-down", and the like, finds the function switch 404 in the shortcut control center menu 502, and clicks the function switch 404 to "turn on" or "turn off" the function switch.

When the function changeover switch 404 is turned "off", the display interface of the electronic apparatus 400 normally displays contents such as a shortcut screen, an application icon, and the like. When the function switch 404 is turned on, the function identifier corresponding to the application program is displayed in the display interface of the electronic device according to a preset setting mode, and then the electronic device enters a "fast function switching" mode, so that a user can independently switch the function associated with any application program, and the convenience of function switching is improved.

In one embodiment of the present application, the target area is specifically located around the target object, and the first identifier or the second identifier is displayed around the target object.

Specifically, fig. 6 shows a third display schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, where a first application icon 602 and a second application icon 604 are displayed on a main display interface 600 of the electronic device 400, where a Wi-Fi network identifier 606 is displayed in an upper right corner of the first application icon 602, and a mobile network identifier 608 is displayed in an upper right corner of the second application icon 604.

In this embodiment, when the function changeover switch is activated on, a first identifier indicating the currently associated function is displayed around the application icon.

The application icon of the application program is displayed in a first display form, and the first identifier is displayed in a second display form.

In this embodiment, in order to make the current function identifier stand out from the application icon to visually create a clearer display effect, the display form of the first identifier and the display form of the application program are distinguished, for example, by icon color, icon size, icon shape, or icon pattern.

For example, the icon color of the application and the color of the first identifier may have a higher contrast color difference, or a reverse color display. If the color of the icon of the application is red, the color of the first indicator may be green or blue.

For example, the size of the icon of the application and the size of the first identifier may have a significant difference. For example, the size of the application icon is 100 × 100 pixels, and the size of the first flag is 9 × 9 pixels.

For example, the shape of the application icon and the shape of the first identifier may have a significant shape difference, such as the application icon being a "quasi-materialized" design icon and the shape of the first identifier being a regular geometric shape.

For example, the pattern of the icon of the application program and the pattern of the first logo may have a difference in style, such as the pattern of the application icon is an artistic pattern, and the pattern of the first logo visually reflects the corresponding function type.

Specifically, as one of the optional embodiments, the first identifiers are displayed without being overlapped with the application icon, that is, one or more first identifiers are distributed around the application icon in a satellite shape with the application icon as a center, and keep a small distance with the application icon at the center, so as to ensure that the plurality of first identifiers do not overlap with each other, and that the first identifiers corresponding to different application programs do not overlap or interfere with each other.

As an alternative embodiment, the first identifier may partially coincide with the application icon, and in this real-time manner, a part of the first identifier is "stuck" to the application icon associated therewith, and another part is displayed separately from the application icon.

As one of the alternative embodiments, the whole of the first indicator is displayed in superposition with the application icon, that is, the first indicator is positioned inside the application icon and is highlighted by distinguishing colors, drawing an outer frame, or the like, or creating a stereoscopic display effect by art, so that the first indicator appears to "float" above the application icon to the naked eye.

When the plurality of third identifiers are displayed in response to the second input, the plurality of third identifiers may be sorted in a certain order, and a part of the third identifiers may be displayed around the corresponding application icon in the order.

Part of the third identifiers may be displayed as 1, 2, 3, 4, and the like, and may be freely set according to the screen size of the electronic device, the density and size of the application icons, the usage habits of the user, and the like, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

When there is no second identifier corresponding to a function that the user wishes to switch among the third identifiers displayed around the application icon, the user can switch the third identifiers displayed around the application icon by inputting a click, a slide, or the like.

It can be understood that, when the third identifier displayed around the icon is switched, the switching process of the third identifier can be made consistent and smooth by playing the corresponding switching animation.

For example, the user may slide the third identifiers around the application icon to switch the displayed third identifiers, and at this time, the plurality of third identifiers may "rotate" according to the direction of the sliding operation, and after the rotating animation is played, a part of the third identifiers displayed around the application icon is replaced with a new third identifier.

For example, the user may double click the third indicator around the application icon to switch the displayed third indicator, and at this time, the third indicator makes a linear motion with the application icon as a center, thereby visually creating a feeling that the plurality of third indicators are "absorbed" into the application icon, and after the animation is played, the plurality of new third indicators radially "fly" out of the application icon with the center of the application icon as a starting point, and visually creating a feeling that the plurality of third indicators are "fried" out of the application icon.

In an embodiment of the present application, fig. 7 shows a fourth display schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, and specifically, after a user finger 700 clicks a Wi-Fi network identifier 606 in the upper right corner of a first application icon 602, fig. 8 shows a fifth display schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, a function window 800 pops up on a display interface of the electronic device 400, and a plurality of third identifiers, including the Wi-Fi network identifier 606 and a mobile network identifier 608, are displayed in the function window 800.

The user's finger 700 further clicks the mobile network identifier 608, so that the Wi-Fi network identifier 606 displayed in the upper right corner of the first application icon 602 can be replaced by the mobile network identifier 608, and meanwhile, the application program corresponding to the first application icon 602 is switched to be networked through the mobile network.

Fig. 9 shows a sixth display diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, and in the function window 800, one or more third function identifiers may be displayed in an arrangement manner, such as a Wi-Fi network identifier 606, a mobile network identifier 608, a 4G network identifier 610, and a 5G network identifier 612 in an arrangement manner of a "nine-square grid".

In some embodiments, fig. 10 shows a seventh display schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, and in the function window 800, a plurality of third indicators are arranged in a "ring" shape.

In some embodiments, fig. 11 shows an eighth display schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, and a part of the third identifier is displayed in the function window 800 and the switch button 614 is displayed. When the user needs to switch the third identifier displayed in the function window 800, the switch button 614 is triggered, and the Wi-Fi network identifier 606 displayed in the function window 800 moves in the direction indicated by the "arrow" of the switch button 614 and leaves the function window, and the new third identifier moves in the same direction into the function window 800.

In an embodiment of the present application, the target object is an application icon of an application program, and fig. 12 shows a fourth flowchart of a function switching method according to an embodiment of the present application, which specifically includes the following steps:

step 1202, determining a second function corresponding to the second identifier;

step 1204, switch the corresponding function associated with the application program to a second function.

The switching of the corresponding function associated with the application program to the second function in step 1204 may specifically include one or more of the following specific steps:

1204a, switching the network connection of the application program to the target network connection;

1204b, switching the file storage position of the application program to a target file storage position;

1204c, switching the sound playing device of the application program to a target sound playing device;

1204d, switch the picture display area of the application program to the target display area.

In this embodiment, the second input is specifically a user input to the second identifier, and after the user inputs the second identifier, the target object associated with the first function identifier is first determined, and if this function identifier is displayed around the application icon of the "online video playing software", the associated target object is the online video playing software. Then, a second function indicated by the second identifier is determined, which is exemplified here as a "5G network". And finally, switching the network connection function of the online video playing software to a 5G network to complete the switching of the program function.

Specifically, for example, fig. 13 shows a ninth display diagram of the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, where a first identifier, specifically, a 4G network identifier 610 is displayed in an upper right corner of a first application icon 602, and after a user finger 700 touches the 4G network identifier 610, fig. 14 shows a tenth display diagram of the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, where a function window 800 pops up on a screen of the electronic device 400, and a plurality of third identifiers are displayed in the function window 800, where the third identifiers include the 4G network identifier 610, the 5G network identifier 612, and a Wi-Fi network identifier 606.

At this time, the user further touches the 5G network identifier 612 therein, and at this time, the system automatically sets the network connection function of the application program corresponding to the first application icon 602 to be 5G network connection.

In an embodiment of the present application, the target object includes an application interface, and fig. 15 shows a fifth flowchart of a function switching method according to an embodiment of the present application, which specifically includes:

step 902, displaying a network connection identifier in an application interface of an application program;

step 904, receiving a user input of a network connection identifier;

step 906, responding to the user input, and switching the network connection mode corresponding to the application interface to the network connection mode corresponding to the second identifier.

In this embodiment, each application interface can independently set the corresponding function. The application interface may be one or more interfaces of a software program, such as a product introduction interface of a shopping application, or a tab of a browser, and the following description will be given by taking an application program as a web browser and an application interface as a tab of a browser as an example:

in a web browser with multiple tab pages, each time a user accesses an internet page (web page), a new tab page, i.e., an application interface, is created in the web browser. Since different web connections may have different access speeds or may not be accessible to different web pages.

Meanwhile, for some sensitive network accesses, such as access of an internet bank and a personal secret mailbox, a user may not want to access through a network connection with a low security level, such as public Wi-Fi.

To address these situations, the embodiments of the present application may display a plurality of third identifiers corresponding to different network connections in a title bar of each tab page or a specific location within the tab page. When a user needs to set independent network connection for one or more tab pages, the user can access the tab pages through 5G network connection when the current tab pages access the network by clicking a second identifier of a plurality of third identifiers, for example, clicking a 5G identifier of a Wi-Fi identifier, a 4G identifier and a 5G identifier.

Specifically, taking an application interface a and an application interface B opened in a browser as an example, a user associates a 5G network connection with tab a and associates a Wi-Fi network with tab B.

At this time, when the user accesses the network address through the tab page a, the user accesses the network address through the 5G network connection. When the user accesses the network address through the label page B, the user can access the network address through the Wi-Fi network connection.

In some embodiments, when switching the network connection mode corresponding to the application interface, specifically, the network connection mode of a specific function included in the application interface is switched.

Specifically, for example, the application program is certain shopping software, the application interface is a commodity introduction interface in the shopping software, wherein the commodity introduction interface includes text introduction content and video introduction content, because network traffic required for loading the text introduction content is small, and network traffic consumed when loading the video introduction content (streaming media content) is relatively large, when a user has little remaining traffic, a network connection mode corresponding to the commodity introduction interface can be correspondingly switched to a Wi-Fi connection mode, and at this time, when the commodity introduction interface is loaded, particularly when the video introduction content is played, the commodity introduction interface can be networked through the Wi-Fi connection mode. If the Wi-Fi network connection cannot be connected at the moment, the video introduction content cannot be automatically played, and when an instruction of playing the video introduction content is received from a user, a prompt message that the Wi-Fi network connection cannot be connected is popped up, and the flow rate may be consumed.

In an embodiment of the present application, the target object is a network Address, and the network Address may be an Internet domain name Address or an IP (Internet Protocol Address).

Because different network service providers have different security policies and user protocols when providing network services, a situation may occur in which a network provided by some network service providers cannot access some specific network addresses, and therefore, when a user wishes to access these network addresses, the network connection used needs to be manually switched, which is cumbersome to operate.

Meanwhile, for some sensitive operations, such as logging in to an internet bank, the user often does not want to log in to the internet bank for fund operation through some network connections with low security, such as a public Wi-Fi network, so that in these scenes, the user also needs to manually change the used network connection, which brings a bad influence to the user experience.

Based on the above problem, in the embodiment of the application, by associating the network address with the target network connection, when any application program (such as a browser, social software, or other application program capable of accessing the network address) accesses the network addresses, the corresponding network connection function is automatically switched to the associated target network connection, and a user does not need to manually switch the network connection, so that convenience in use is improved.

Specifically, fig. 16 shows a sixth flowchart of a function switching method according to an embodiment of the present application, which specifically includes:

step 1002, receive a user action for any network address.

In step 1002, a user may manually specify a network address through user manipulation and associate a network connection with the specified network address.

Specifically, for example, a user wishes to access "www. x.com" (where "www. x.com" refers to any network connection that may be accessed, and does not actually have an internet domain name address), via a "5G network connection".

The user can select an icon or a character corresponding to the ' 5G network connection ' from the plurality of popped network connections by inputting the address of the ' www. After the above operation is completed, the system automatically generates a prompt message to prompt the user that the network address "www.

Step 1004, responding to the user operation, switching the network connection mode when any application program accesses the network address to the network connection mode corresponding to the second identifier.

In step 1004, upon confirming that a network address is accessed by any application, the system first traverses the database to determine whether the network address to be accessed is already associated with the target network connection. And if the network address to be accessed is associated with a target network connection, controlling the current application program to switch the network connection function to the target network connection so as to access the network address through the target network connection.

If the network address to be accessed is not associated with any target network connection, the network address is accessed through the target network connection with which the current application has been associated.

Specifically, for example, when the system detects that the browser application starts to access the network address of "www.

The system determines that the network address of the' www.

In one embodiment of the application, functions associated with a plurality of application programs can be switched at one time in a multi-selection mode.

Specifically, fig. 17 shows a seventh flowchart of a function switching method according to an embodiment of the present application, including:

step 1102, receiving a first input of a first identifier corresponding to any one of a plurality of target objects;

step 1104, in response to the first input, switching the first identifiers corresponding to the plurality of target objects to the second identifiers, and switching the first functions associated with the plurality of target objects to the second functions.

In this embodiment, a plurality of target objects have an association relationship therebetween, where each target object in the plurality of target objects is associated with a target area, and a first identifier is displayed in the target area. After receiving a first input of a first identifier corresponding to any one target object, synchronously executing switching of functions of a plurality of target objects with current association relation, and synchronously replacing the first identifier with a second identifier.

Specifically, before step 1102, fig. 18 shows an eighth flowchart of a function switching method according to an embodiment of the present application, and includes the following specific steps:

step 1302, receiving a fourth operation on a plurality of target objects;

in step 1304, in response to the fourth operation, an association relationship between the plurality of target objects is established.

The fourth operation may be a user operation such as "long press", "re-press", "double click", or the like, or may be a user operation in which a multi-selection icon is displayed on a screen of the electronic device, and after entering a "multi-selection mode" through the multi-selection icon, a plurality of target objects are sequentially clicked. The multi-selection icon may be displayed in a display interface of the electronic device in a normal state or may be hidden in a normal state and displayed after receiving a specific user operation. The specific display mode of the multi-selection icon and the operation mode of the calling multi-selection icon are not limited in the embodiment of the application.

For example, when the user inputs a multi-selection icon, an application icon displayed on a display interface of the electronic device enters an alternative state, and the user can select one or more application icons to determine a target application program to be selected.

And simultaneously, after the multi-selection icon is triggered, the multi-selection icon is correspondingly switched to a selection completion icon, and when the user triggers the multi-selection completion icon again, the system automatically determines the corresponding target application program according to the selection state of the current application icon.

It will be appreciated that if the user does not select any application icon after triggering the multiple selection icon, and again triggers the selection complete icon, then the multiple selection mode is exited.

In order to make it more clear to the user which application icons have been selected respectively, a selected identifier may be displayed around the application icon corresponding to the target application program, wherein the application icon is displayed in the third display form and the selected identifier is displayed in the fourth display form.

The selected identifier can be intuitively conveyed to the client, the application program corresponding to the current application icon is already marked as the target application program, namely the application program is listed as the target of the multi-selection operation, and the application icon which is not marked as the target application program is not changed.

The selected mark can be a mark of 'number matching', or a mark of 'circle', or a character of 'selected'. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific appearance form of the selected logo.

Specifically, the icon of the application program is displayed in a third display form, and the selected identifier is displayed in a fourth display form.

In order to make the current function mark stand out from the application icon to visually create a clearer display effect, the display form of the selected mark and the display form of the application program are distinguished, for example, by the icon color, the icon size, the icon shape or the icon pattern.

For example, the icon color of the application and the color of the selected logo may have a higher contrast color difference, or a reverse color display. If the color of the icon of the application is black, the color of the selected mark may be white.

For example, the size of the icon for the application and the size of the selected identifier may have a significant difference. Such as an application icon of size 70 x 60 pixels and a selected logo of size 5 x 4 pixels.

For example, the shape of the icon of the application program and the shape of the selected logo may have a significant shape difference, such as the shape of the application icon is a "pseudo-materialized" design icon, while the shape of the selected logo is a simple geometric shape or text.

For example, the pattern of the application icon of the application program may have a stylistic difference from the pattern of the selected logo, such as an artistic pattern, while the pattern of the selected logo is a simple geometric pattern such as a "check mark" or a "circle".

In an embodiment of the present application, a specific application scenario in which a user switches a network connection function of an application is taken as an example to specifically describe the embodiment of the present application.

When a plurality of network connections are simultaneously connected to an electronic device such as a mobile phone held by a user, for example, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) network and a 4G network, in most scenarios, it is possible to satisfy the user requirements only by using the WLAN network to use an application program.

However, there may also be scenarios as follows: in public places, users do not want to use personal chat software, payment software and other applications related to user privacy by using public Wi-Fi, but want to use a 4G network connected with own mobile phones. At the same time, users also want to use public Wi-Fi to use applications that are traffic-intensive, such as web video software, news software, etc.

For the scenes, the embodiment of the application provides an intelligent network switching method, and for the scenes that a mobile phone is simultaneously connected with a plurality of network connections, particularly a Wi-Fi network and a 4G network, a user can start an intelligent network switch in the mobile phone setting or a quick control center.

After the switch is turned on, a small icon of the networking mode of the current application program is displayed at the upper right corner of the application icon of each application on the screen of the mobile phone, and a user can judge the networking mode of the current application program according to the small icon.

After the user clicks the small icon, a window pops up, icon identifications corresponding to the Wi-Fi network and the 4G network are displayed in the window, and the user can set the expected network connection for the application program in a mode of clicking the corresponding icon identifications. After the determination, the small icon displayed at the upper right corner of the application icon is synchronously updated to inform the user that the networking mode of the application program has changed.

By the method, the user can quickly set the desired networking mode for each application, and the user experience is greatly improved.

The specific implementation steps are as follows:

in a first step, as shown in fig. 4, a user enters a setting interface 402 of the electronic device 400 and turns on a function switch 404 in the setting interface 402. Or as shown in fig. 5, the user operates the call-out shortcut control center menu 502 by a gesture of sliding up or down, and turns on the function switch 404 in the shortcut control center menu 502.

Second, as shown in fig. 6, after the user turns on the function switch 404, a network small icon, i.e. a first identifier, is displayed at the upper right corner of the application icon on the screen, and this network small icon identifies the current network connection mode of the corresponding application program.

As in fig. 6, a first application icon 602 on the left and a second application icon 604 on the right display a Wi-Fi network identification 606 and a mobile network identification 608, respectively. This networking thumbnail is hidden synchronously after the function switcher 404 is closed.

Thirdly, the user wants to switch the first application to 5G network connection, as shown in fig. 13, at this time, the user only needs to click the 4G network identifier 610 at the upper right corner, at this time, the function window 800 as shown in fig. 14 pops up, the user further selects the 5G network identifier 612 in the function window 800, then, the system switches the networking function of the first application corresponding to the first application icon 602 to the 5G network, and after the switching is completed, as shown in fig. 14, the corresponding network connection small icon is switched to the identifier icon corresponding to the 5G network at the upper right corner of the first application icon 602.
