Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of an implementation of an application control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, where the method may be applied to an electronic device configured with multiple applications and having multiple operation modes, such as a mobile phone or a pad. In different operation modes, one or more applications can be operated in the electronic equipment. The technical scheme in the embodiment is mainly used for controlling the applications running in the electronic equipment to realize automatic recovery after the mode of the electronic equipment is switched, so that the operation complexity of a user is reduced.
Specifically, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps:
step 101: and monitoring whether the current running state of the electronic equipment meets the mode switching condition, and executing the step 102 under the condition that the current running state meets the mode switching condition.
The mode switching condition may be a condition for switching the electronic device between the first operation mode and the second operation mode.
The first operating mode here means: the application content of the application running on the electronic equipment is output in the form of display windows in a display area of the electronic equipment, one or more display windows can be displayed in the display area, overlapped parts can exist between the display windows, the display windows can also be minimized to a taskbar of the display area, the display windows minimized to the taskbar can restore the output display on the display area after being operated by a user, each display window output on the display area can occupy partial area of the display area, as shown in fig. 2, the display window of the video playing application is positioned at the forefront, and the display window of the chat application is blocked; or, the display window may also occupy all areas of the display area, as shown in fig. 3, the chat application occupies all areas, at this time, the display window displayed in all areas of the display area covers other display windows, the first operation mode at this time is to output application content of each application in a form of window drawing, and may also be referred to as a productivity mode or a working mode;
the second operation mode is as follows: the application content of the application running on the electronic device is output in the display area of the electronic device in a full-screen display manner, while only the application content of the current application is displayed in the display area, and other applications running on the electronic device are in a background running state, as shown in fig. 4, the video playing application is in a foreground running state, while the chat application is in a background running state, and at this time, the second running mode outputs the application content of the foreground running application in a non-window drawing manner, which may also be referred to as a normal mode.
Based on this, in this embodiment, whether the mode switching condition of the electronic device is satisfied can be determined by monitoring the current operating state of the electronic device, and the following implementation manners may be specifically provided:
in one implementation manner, in this embodiment, whether a target device meeting a mode switching condition is connected to an electronic device may be monitored, where the target device is a device capable of triggering the electronic device to switch between a first operation mode and a second operation mode, such as a keyboard or a display, and specifically, in this embodiment, whether a connection state of a target interface, such as a serial interface or a parallel interface, on the electronic device is converted from an unconnected state to a connected state may be monitored, and the connected state represents that the target interface is connected to the target device to monitor whether the target device is connected to the electronic device.
Based on this, under the condition that it is monitored that the target device is connected to the electronic device, it can be determined that the current operating state of the electronic device meets the mode switching condition.
In an implementation manner, in this embodiment, whether a mode switching control on the electronic device is operated may be monitored, the mode switching control is used to instruct the electronic device to switch the current operating mode, the control may be implemented by a key region of software, as shown in fig. 5, or implemented by an entity key of hardware, as shown in fig. 6, a button for performing mode switching is disposed at an edge of one side of the electronic device, and in this embodiment, whether the mode switching controls are operated is monitored.
Based on this, under the condition that the mode switching control is monitored to be operated, it can be determined that the current operation state of the electronic device meets the mode switching condition.
In one implementation manner, in the present embodiment, whether the electronic device has a change in device structure may be monitored, where the device structure may be understood as a device configuration structure of the electronic device, such as whether the foldable screen is changed from the folded state to the unfolded state. For example, the device structure of the pad realizes the change of the device form structure with the relative position change between the bracket and the body, so that the pad is changed from a flat plate form to a notebook form or from the notebook form to the flat plate form. In this embodiment, whether the mode switching condition is satisfied is determined by detecting whether the electronic device is changed in a device form structure, where different device form structures correspond to different operation modes of the electronic device, for example, a tablet form corresponds to a second operation mode of the electronic device, i.e., a normal mode, and a notebook form corresponds to a first operation mode of the electronic device, i.e., an operating mode.
Based on this, under the condition that the electronic equipment is monitored to have the change on the equipment structure, the current operation state of the electronic equipment can be determined to meet the mode switching condition.
Of course, the manner of monitoring whether the mode switching condition is satisfied in this embodiment is not limited to the above implementation manners, and any state or parameter that can enable the electronic device to generate the switching instruction for instructing to switch between the first operation mode and the second operation mode may be used as the implementation manner of monitoring whether the mode switching condition is satisfied.
Step 102: application data of the target application is obtained.
The application data at least represents the current state of the target application, such as the running progress state of the target application, the resource scheduling state of the target application, the application configuration state of the target application, and the like.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the application data of the target application may be read in a cache area of the electronic device, where the cache area is an area configured for storing the application data in the electronic device, and the application data of the target application is recorded in the cache area in the running process of the target application, so that the application data recorded in the running process of the target application is stored in the cache area.
The application data obtained in this embodiment may include data in at least one data dimension, and the data in the data dimension may represent the current state of the target application in the corresponding dimension. Specifically, the data dimensions here may be: any one or more of front-end background dimension, running progress dimension, resource calling dimension, application configuration dimension and the like.
For example, the application data of the video playing application includes state data running in a front end or running in a background, progress state data of video playing, resource names and resource positions of video resources being played and video resources being played, configuration data such as a cache path of cached video content, and the like.
It should be noted that the target application in this embodiment refers to an application that is started and in a running state in the electronic device, and the target application includes an application that is in a foreground running state in the electronic device and also includes an application that is in a background running state in the electronic device. Taking the case of switching from the first operation mode to the second operation mode as an example, the application data of the target application obtained in this embodiment includes application data of the target application corresponding to the display window with the focus, also includes application data of the target application corresponding to the shielded display window, and also includes application data corresponding to the display window minimized to the taskbar; taking the case of switching the second operation mode as an example, the application data of the target application obtained in this embodiment includes application data of the target application whose application content is output in the display area, that is, in the front-end operation, and also includes application data of the target application in the background operation.
Specifically, in this embodiment, after the application data of the target application is obtained, the obtained application data may be cached in a memory cache of the electronic device, or may be stored in the hard disk.
Step 103: and after the electronic equipment completes the switching of the operation mode, controlling the target application to operate according to the application data.
Specifically, in this embodiment, after it is monitored that the electronic device completes switching of the operation mode, that is, switches from the first operation mode to the second operation mode or switches from the second operation mode to the first operation mode, the target application may be controlled to operate according to the previously obtained application data, and the target application is automatically controlled to return to the state of the electronic device before the mode switching without restarting the application after closing the application.
In an implementation manner, when the control target application runs according to the application data in step 103, the following implementation manners are specifically adopted:
controlling the running of the target application, and configuring the state parameters of the running state of the target application to correspond to the application data items, wherein the state parameters at least comprise: any one or more of the operation progress parameter, the resource scheduling parameter and the application configuration parameter.
For example, the running of the video playing application is controlled, the video resource being played by the video playing application is configured to be consistent with the video resource being played in the resource scheduling dimension in the application data, the video resource already played by the video playing application is configured to be consistent with the video resource being played in the resource scheduling dimension in the application data, the progress parameter of the video playing application is configured to be consistent with the state data in the running progress dimension in the application data, the cache path in the video playing application is configured to be consistent with the cache path in the application configuration dimension in the application data, and the like, so that the video playing application continues to run according to the running state before mode switching after the mode switching of the electronic device is completed.
It should be noted that the running state of the target application may be understood as a lifecycle state in which the target application is located, such as a startup state, a state of running to a certain stage, and a state of running end. Therefore, in this embodiment, the operation state of the target application is kept unchanged after the mode switching of the electronic device, that is, the life cycle of the target application is kept unchanged during the mode switching of the electronic device, so that the work content of the user using the target application is not lost.
It can be seen from the foregoing technical solutions that, in the application control method provided in the first embodiment of the present application, whether the current operating state of the electronic device satisfies a condition for switching between a first operating mode and a second operating mode is monitored, where the first operating mode is a mode in which application content is output in a display area in a form of a display window, and the second operating mode is a mode in which application content is output in the display area in a full-screen manner, so that, when the current operating state of the electronic device satisfies the condition, by obtaining application data of a target application that can represent the current state, the application can be automatically controlled to run according to application data obtained in advance after the electronic device completes switching of the operating modes, and thus the application does not need to be forcibly closed during mode switching, and does not need to be re-operated by a user after mode switching, and further, the operation of the user is reduced by automatically controlling the application recovery, so that the operation complexity of the user is reduced.
In one implementation, when the mode switching condition is a condition of switching from the first operation mode to the second operation mode, that is, a condition of switching from the working mode to the normal mode, the target application at least includes a first application corresponding to a display window having a focus in a display region, where the first application is an application corresponding to application content output by a display window at the frontmost end, and the focus here may be understood as an operated focus, such as a position point where an input cursor is located, as shown in fig. 2, the first application is a video playing application;
based on this, when the control target application runs according to the application data in step 103, the following method can be implemented:
and controlling the first application to run according to the application data thereof, so that the application content of the first application is output in the display area, and the application content of the first application corresponds to the application data of the first application.
That is, in the case of switching from the first operation mode to the second operation mode, in this embodiment, after the electronic device is switched to the second operation mode, the application content of the first application corresponding to the display window having focus in the original first operation mode is output to the display area in the second operation mode, at this time, the current state corresponding to the application content of the first application in the display area corresponds to the application data of the first application in the original first operation mode, thereby implementing that the first application on the electronic device continues to operate according to the operation state in the first operation mode after the electronic device is switched to the second operation mode.
In addition, in the first operation mode, in addition to the first application, other applications may also be run in the background, such as an application corresponding to the occluded display window or an application corresponding to the display window minimized to the taskbar and the like corresponding to the display window that does not have focus, and at this time, the target application further includes: a second application corresponding to the display window without the focus in the display area, as shown in fig. 2, the second application is a chat application;
based on this, when the control target application runs according to the application data in step 103, the following processing may be further included:
and controlling the second application to run according to the application data of the second application, wherein the second application is in a background running state, and the application content of the second application corresponds to the application data of the second application.
That is to say, in the case of switching from the first operation mode to the second operation mode, in this embodiment, after the electronic device is switched to the second operation mode, the application content of the second application corresponding to the display window that has no focus in the original first operation mode is not output, but the second application is run on the electronic device and is controlled to run in the background, and the current state corresponding to the application content of the second application running in the background corresponds to the application data of the second application in the original first operation mode, so that the second application on the electronic device continues to run according to the running state in the first operation mode after the electronic device is switched to the second operation mode, and is only viewed by the user in the background running state.
In one implementation, when the mode switching condition is a condition of switching from the second operation mode to the first operation mode, that is, a condition of switching from the normal mode to the working mode, the target application at least includes a third application corresponding to the display area, where the third application is an application in a front-end operation state, as shown in fig. 4, the third application is a video playing application;
based on this, when the control target application runs according to the application data in step 103, the following method can be implemented:
and drawing a first display window in the display area, wherein the first display window has a focus, and then controlling the third application to run according to the application data of the third application, so that the application content of the third application is output in the first display window with the focus, and the application content of the third application corresponds to the application data of the third application.
That is to say, in the case of switching from the second operation mode to the first operation mode, in this embodiment, after the electronic device is switched to the first operation mode, the application content of the third application that is in the front end operation state in the original second operation mode is output in the display window that has the focus in the first operation mode, at this time, the current state corresponding to the application content output in the first display window by the third application corresponds to the application data of the third application in the original second operation mode, and thus, it is achieved that the third application on the electronic device continues to operate according to the operation state in the second operation mode after the electronic device is switched to the first operation mode.
In addition, in the second operation mode, in addition to the third application, other applications may also be run in the electronic device in the background, at this time, the target application further includes fourth applications that are in the background running state, as shown in fig. 4, the fourth applications are chat applications;
based on this, when the control target application runs according to the application data in step 103, the following processing may be further included:
and drawing a second display window in the display area, wherein the second display window does not have a focus, the second display window at the moment can be in a display state of being blocked or not blocked by the first display window or can be in a display state of being minimized to a task bar, and then controlling a fourth application to run according to the application data, so that the application content of the fourth application is output in the second display window, and the application content of the fourth application corresponds to the application data of the fourth application.
That is to say, in the case of switching from the second operation mode to the first operation mode, after the electronic device is switched to the first operation mode, in this embodiment, after the electronic device is switched to the first operation mode, the application content of the fourth application that is in the background operation state in the original second operation mode is output in the display window that has no focus in the first operation mode, at this time, the current state corresponding to the application content output by the fourth application in the second display window corresponds to the application data of the fourth application in the original second operation state, and thus, it is achieved that the fourth application on the electronic device continues to operate according to the operation state in the second operation mode after the electronic device is switched to the first operation mode, but may be blocked by other display windows or minimized to the task bar.

In different operation modes, one or more applications can be operated in the electronic equipment. The technical scheme in the embodiment is mainly used for controlling the applications running in the electronic equipment to realize automatic recovery after the mode of the electronic equipment is switched, so that the operation complexity of a user is reduced.
Specifically, the electronic device in this embodiment may include the following structure:
a display 801 having a display area;

Of course, the electronic device in this embodiment may further include a memory for storing the application programs and data generated by the application programs, and the processor 802 may execute the application programs to implement the above functions.
It can be seen from the foregoing technical solutions that, in the electronic device provided in the third embodiment of the present application, whether the current operating state of the electronic device satisfies a condition for switching between a first operating mode and a second operating mode is monitored, where the first operating mode is a mode in which application content is output in a display area in a form of a display window, and the second operating mode is a mode in which application content is output in the display area in a full screen manner, so that, when the current operating state of the electronic device satisfies the condition, by obtaining application data of a target application that can represent the current state, the application can be automatically controlled to run according to application data obtained in advance after the electronic device completes switching of the operating modes, and thus the application does not need to be forcibly closed during switching of the modes, and does not need to be re-operated by a user after switching the modes, and further reduces user operations by automatically controlling application recovery, thereby reducing the operational complexity of the user.
It should be noted that, the specific implementation of the processor in the present embodiment may refer to the corresponding content in the foregoing, and is not described in detail here.
Taking the switching between the working mode and the normal mode in the pad as an example, the technical scheme of the application is exemplified:
firstly, in the application, each state of the application is recorded by maintaining the life cycle of the application running on the pad, and the application is allowed to run simultaneously, so that when the mode of the pad is switched to change the window form of the application, the application does not need to be completely closed and restarted, and the life cycle of the application is recovered according to the stored state data after the corresponding new window form is drawn in a new mode through the stored state data of the application.
As shown in fig. 9, an architecture diagram for implementing Application function in the pad is shown, where the left side of the vertical line is a management module of the Application life cycle, such as an Application Activity module, a Multi-Application synchronous recovery module Multi-result, an Activity management Service module Activity Manager Service, an Activity Stack module Activity Stack, an Activity start Stack module Activity Starter, and a Stack supervisor module Stack hypervisor, and the like, and the right side is an Application presentation logic module, such as a Window and Window mode module Window free, a Window management Service module Windows Manager Service, a Window task module Windows task, a display logic unit Surface, a display management unit surfaceflag, an optimization unit reset, an embedded open graphics library EGL, and a logic unit gallery of FB/LCD, and the like. In current native systems, the left and right modules are interleaved without decoupling, and therefore, must be restarted after being fully shutdown in the mode switching process. In the application, the left and right modules are decoupled, the management module of the life cycle on the left side is designed to be unchanged, and the right module is only required to be controlled to be correspondingly changed in the mode switching process, so that the application organization mode of the pad based on the screen is switched to the application display and organization mode based on the window, or the application display and organization mode based on the window is switched to the application organization mode based on the screen.
A specific flow for controlling the application lifecycle is shown in fig. 10, in which:
after the application is activated Activity Starts, the application Starts to create and execute oncreate () and onstart () and controls the application to start onresume (), after which the application gets to the focus getfocus or lostfocus, when the application is in the focus state, if the mode switch is found, i.e. configuration modification configchange is configured, then flow stop exception is inserted, such as recording the state and pausing onpause, if the user needs to continue the application running, application toformount and onrestart () are hoisted by the icon process, if not, the flow continues to stop onstop, memory recycle process, close process shop, or close both endstroy and shutdown, and the user clicks the application icon, the application restarts and creates the process, the control logic for the application that is not in focus is as shown in the right flow.
In practical applications, in the normal mode in the pad, the display unit is based on the screen. However, the present invention is shown on a window basis in a production mode operating system such as windows in an office mode. Whereas in the conventional art, the change from frame to full screen can be realized by full screen operation. But it cannot be realized when switching from an operation mode without frames, such as a normal mode, to a mode with frames, such as a productivity mode. In order to achieve the purpose that the application is changed only in the presentation mode and the successful logic but the execution logic in the application is not changed, the application redefines the state machine for executing the application so as to record a series of data such as the execution process number of the application, the resources occupied by the process, the display direction, the coordinates, the Z-axis position and the like of the successful application, so that when the mode is switched, under the control of the state machine, the algorithm of the state machine calculates the display window in the new mode through the state machine according to different parameters recorded under the operation of two different mode applications, such as the coordinates, the direction, the process number, the resource number and the like, and simultaneously restores the execution flow of the application program.
Taking a chat application or a video playing application as an example, it is necessary to restore to which page the application is in full-screen mode, what video is played, and where the application is played, which are logic data of the application program itself, and these data affect the execution phase of the application.
On one hand, the data needed by the new state machine is calculated in the application, on the other hand, the data of the application is recovered in the application, and under the control of the state machine, on one hand, errors of the application in a new presentation mode can be avoided, and meanwhile, the execution logic of the application can be ensured not to be interrupted.
Therefore, according to the technical scheme, the electronic equipment can be triggered to be switched between the working mode and the non-working mode by plugging and unplugging the keyboard or clicking a menu and the like without strong intervention of a user, and meanwhile, the state before switching is recovered by controlling the application, so that the data of the user is ensured not to be lost, for example, in the folding process of the folding screen, the mode is switched and the data is ensured not to be lost. Moreover, the data need not be saved repeatedly for reminding.
