an information obtaining module, configured to obtain, if the target terminal device receives the context switching request, device information of the source terminal device, at least one to-be-synchronized application client, and context data corresponding to each to-be-synchronized application client that are carried in the context switching request; wherein the context data is data related to a set of environments in which a work or program of an application client operates;

a context synchronization module, configured to, if an application client that is the same as each of the to-be-synchronized application clients exists in the target terminal device, perform context synchronization on the application client that is the same as each of the to-be-synchronized application clients in the target terminal device according to context data corresponding to each of the to-be-synchronized application clients;

a pause information sending module, configured to send context switch pause information to the source terminal device according to the device information of the source terminal device if there is no application client that is the same as each of the to-be-synchronized application clients in the target terminal device; the context switching suspension information is information for notifying the source terminal device that the target terminal device does not support context synchronization, suspending the context switching process, and ending the process.

14. A terminal device comprising a memory, a processor and a computer program stored on the memory and executable on the processor, characterized in that the processor implements the context switching method according to any of claims 2-5 or the context switching method according to any of claims 6-11 when executing the computer program.

15. A computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored which, when being executed by a processor, carries out the context switching method according to any one of claims 2 to 5, or the context switching method according to any one of claims 6 to 11.
