The following embodiments of the present invention provide a scanning method, which can be applied to various scenes, and is convenient to use and simple to operate.

The scanning method comprises the steps of starting scanning service and executing scanning function after the scanning service is started, wherein the step of starting the scanning service comprises the following steps: monitoring a starting broadcast to judge whether the system is started, if so, entering the next step, and if not, ending; and judging whether the scanning service needs to be started, if so, starting the scanning service, and if not, ending the scanning service. Wherein the step of initiating the scanning service comprises creating a hover button on a desktop of the system. The step of performing the scanning function comprises: and judging whether the suspension button is triggered, if so, executing a scanning function, and otherwise, ending.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of initiating a scanning service of a scanning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a scanning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The scanning method is described below with reference to fig. 1 and 2.

It is to be understood that the following description is merely exemplary, and that variations may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The scanning method of the present invention includes initiating a scanning service (fig. 1) and performing a scanning function (fig. 2) after initiating the scanning service.

The process of starting the scanning service of the scanning method of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1, the step of initiating the scanning service includes:

step 110, monitor the boot broadcast to determine whether the system is booted.

And monitoring the starting broadcast to judge whether the system is started, if so, entering the step 120, and if not, ending the process.

The starting broadcast is sent out when the electronic equipment is started, and whether the system is started successfully or not can be judged by monitoring the starting broadcast. For example, the Android system (Android) sends out a start completion broadcast after the start is completed, and all receivers (broadcastreceivers) registered to receive the start completion broadcast receive the broadcast.

Step 120, determine whether to start the scanning service.

After the system is powered on in step 110, it is determined whether the scanning service needs to be started. If the scanning service needs to be started, step 130 is entered, otherwise, the process is ended. Wherein the step of initiating the scanning service may further comprise creating a hover button on a desktop of the system.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a hover button for a scanning method according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 3, a hover button 301 may be created on the desktop of the system, which is located at the uppermost layer of the system and thus may hover over any editing interface.

In some examples, the hover button 301 is a draggable hover button.

It should be understood that a System may refer to an Operating System (OS) of an electronic device. Operating systems include, but are not limited to, Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and the like.

The operating system is a program that manages the hardware and software resources of the electronic device. The operating system needs to handle basic transactions such as managing and configuring memory, prioritizing system resources, controlling input devices and output devices, operating the network, and managing the file system. The operating system may also provide an operator interface for a user to interact with the system.

Preferably, in the following embodiments of the present invention, the operating system is an android system, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining whether the scanning service needs to be started in step 120 further includes detecting a state of a scanning service switch, and determining whether the scanning service needs to be started according to the state of the scanning service switch.

Illustratively, when the state of the scanning service switch is on, it is determined that the scanning service needs to be started. And when the state of the scanning service switch is off, judging that the scanning service is not required to be started.

It is understood that the scanning service switch may be one or more control parameters of the system background, but the application is not limited thereto.

In some examples, the state of the scan service switch may be set through a scan service setup interface.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a scan service setting interface of a scanning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4, the user can effect setting of the status of the scanning service switch by selecting the "START FLOATING BUTTON" or "STOP FLOATING BUTTON" options on the scanning service setting interface.

For example, when the user clicks "START FLOATING BUTTON", the state of the scan service switch may be set to "on"; when the user clicks "STOP FLOATING BUTTON", the state of the scanning service switch is set to "off".

It should be noted that the state of the scan service switch may affect the determination of whether the scan service needs to be initiated each time the system is powered on.

The user can set the state of the scan service switch through the scan service setting interface. Therefore, when the state of the scanning service switch is set to be 'off', the scanning service does not need to be started after the system is started, so that the efficiency of the system is improved, and the resources of the system are saved.

Step 130, a scanning service is initiated.

When it is determined in step 120 that the scanning service needs to be started after the power-on, the scanning service is started.

In some embodiments, the step of initiating the scanning service further comprises initiating a hover button listening service.

Illustratively, the scanning service may include a hover button listening service that is initiated simultaneously with the initiation of the scanning service.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the scan service setting interface may be further configured to control the scan service to be turned on and off.

With continued reference to FIG. 4, the user may also control the opening and closing of the scanning service by selecting the "START FLOATING BUTTON" or "STOP FLOATING BUTTON" options on the scanning service settings interface.

For example, when a user clicks "START FLOATING BUTTON", the system will turn on the scanning service; when the user clicks "STOP FLOATING BUTTON", the system will shut down the scanning service.

In each startup period, no matter whether the system starts the scanning service or not in the startup process, the user can manually start or close the scanning service through the scanning service setting interface after the system is started, so that the resources of the system are saved, and the efficiency of the system is improved.

The process of performing the scanning function of the scanning method of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 2. Referring to fig. 2, the step of performing the scan function includes:

step 210, determine whether the hover button is triggered.

And judging whether a floating button (such as the floating button 301) is triggered, if so, entering the step 220, and if not, ending.

Preferably, whether the hover button (e.g., hover button 301) is activated may be determined by the hover button listening service.

It should be understood that "triggering" may refer to a user's operation of clicking a hover button, but the application is not so limited.

Step 220, perform a scan function.

When it is determined in step 210 that the hover button (e.g., hover button 301) is triggered, the scan function is performed.

Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating a scanning function performed by a scanning method according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 5, performing the scan function may include starting the camera while creating a floating scan window 501 on the system desktop to display the previewed scan content.

It is to be understood that the camera may refer to an internal camera of the electronic device, an external camera connected to the electronic device, or a combination of the two, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

In an embodiment of the present invention, after the scanning function is executed, it may further include determining whether the scanning is successful, if so, returning a scanning result, otherwise, executing the scanning function again.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart of determining whether scanning is successful according to a scanning method in an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 6, after the scanning function is executed in step 610, the determination of step 620 is further included to determine whether the scanning is successful.

When the scanning is successful as determined in step 620, step 630 is executed to return the scanning result. When the scanning is not successful as determined in step 620, the scanning execution function of step 610 is re-entered.

In some embodiments, the step of re-executing the scanning function after determining that the scanning is unsuccessful may further include determining whether the scanning is overtime, if so, ending, otherwise, re-executing the scanning function.

With continued reference to fig. 6, when the scanning is determined to be unsuccessful in step 620, the determination of step 640 as to whether the scanning times out needs to be performed. When it is determined in step 640 that the scan has not timed out, the scan execution function in step 610 is re-entered. When the scan timeout is determined in step 640, the scan execution function in step 610 is no longer entered again, and the process ends.

In an optimized embodiment of the present invention, the scan timeout time may be set to 5 seconds(s), but the present application is not limited thereto. By setting the appropriate scan timeout time, system resources can be saved. Preferably, when the scanning time is judged to be overtime, the scanning failure information can be prompted.

In an embodiment of the present invention, after the scanning is determined to be successful, scanning result information may be further prompted.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a scanning result information prompting method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 7, a prompt box 701 of scan result information may also be displayed after the scan is determined to be successful.

It should be appreciated that in some examples, the user may also select to turn on or off the function that prompts the scan result information after determining that the scan was successful.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the method for returning the scanning result after determining that the scanning is successful includes: returning the scanning result to the cursor position of the edit box of the system; or returning the scanning result to a clipboard of the system; or returning the scanning result to the system broadcast of the system; or a simulated keyboard that returns the scan results to the edit box of the system.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a cursor position of an edit box of a system for returning a scan result to a scanning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 6 and 8, in some examples, when step 630 returns a scan result, the scan result may be output to a cursor position of an edit box 801 of the system.

For example, a search operation may be performed on the current interface to determine whether an edit box exists, and if so, the scan result is directly output to the cursor position of the edit box, otherwise, no output processing is performed.

In other examples, the scan results may also be saved to a clipboard of the system and a prompt pops up informing the user that the scan results have been saved to the clipboard. Or, the scanning result can be broadcasted according to the broadcasting mode in the system setting, and the corresponding broadcast receiver can process the scanning result data by monitoring the broadcasting. Still alternatively, the scan results may be output to a simulated keyboard of an edit box of the system.

It will be appreciated that the simulated keyboard output to the edit box of the system may refer to opening the system simulated keyboard and then outputting the scan results step by step into the edit box of the system in a manner similar to keyboard entry.

The scanning method of the invention creates the suspension button on the desktop of the system, and executes the scanning function by clicking the trigger suspension button by the user, thereby being applicable to a plurality of use scenes. Meanwhile, the scanning method is suitable for any electronic equipment with a built-in camera and an external camera.

On the other hand, the user can customize the returning mode of the scanning result, and the scanning result is directly output to the cursor position of the edit box, the clipboard, the system broadcast or the simulation keyboard of the edit box according to the requirement, so that the operation efficiency is improved, and the time of the user is saved.

The flowcharts shown in fig. 1, 2 and 6 are used herein to illustrate the steps/operations performed by the scanning method according to embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that these steps/operations are not necessarily performed in the exact order in which they are performed. Rather, various steps/operations may be processed in reverse order or concurrently. Meanwhile, other steps/operations may be added to or removed from these processes.

The priority of the specific operation steps of the scanning method can be appropriately adjusted according to the actual needs by those skilled in the art, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The above embodiment of the present invention provides a scanning method, which can be applied to various scenes, and is convenient to use and simple to operate.
