Referring to fig. 2, the present application provides an embodiment of an application starting method of a terminal device, and optionally, the application starting method of the terminal device includes the following steps:

step S10, determining the target application set by the terminal;

step S20, opening a folding screen of the terminal equipment;

and step S30, starting the target application according to a preset rule of application starting for opening the folding screen.

The application starting method of the terminal device is applied to the terminal devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, the terminal device is provided with a folding screen, the folding screen at least comprises two screens, and the two screens can be folded relatively or unfolded back to back. The volume can be reduced to this embodiment terminal equipment's folding screen when folding, and portable can increase display interface when opening, improves the display effect, and the display effect of big screen is better when seeing the video, perhaps plays the better operation of big screen when playing, and consequently the terminal equipment that has folding screen receives user favor more. When the display interface is enlarged, some inevitable problems may also be brought, for example, when the display interface is too large, the user operates the content, or the application program is inconvenient, resulting in low efficiency of reaching the application program.

Based on this, this embodiment sets up the opening angle between two screens of angle sensor real-time or regularly detecting terminal device's folding screen, confirms terminal device's user state through opening the angle, if the user state includes folding screen opening process and folding screen and closes the screen process terminal device is in the folding screen and opens the process, confirms that the user needs to open terminal device's large-size screen display function when terminal device is in the folding screen and closes the screen process, confirms that the user uses little screen display function, perhaps the user will pack up terminal device.

Optionally, the terminal device detects that the opening angle of the folding screen is greater than or equal to a preset angle, or the opening angle is gradually increased from a first preset angle (zero degree), and when the opening angle is increased to the preset angle, it is determined that the folding screen of the terminal device is in the opening process. And otherwise, judging that the folding screen of the terminal equipment is in a screen closing process when the opening angle of the folding screen is smaller than a preset angle or the opening angle is gradually reduced.

In order to facilitate the user to use the application program after the folding screen is opened, the embodiment sets that the application is started simultaneously in the opening process of the folding screen, so that the target application is also started when the user completes opening the folding screen, and at this time, the user can directly use the application without finding the application in the large screen and starting the application after clicking. Compared with the mode that the user manually searches and clicks the application, the setting mode can save the searching and starting time of the application and provide convenience for the application starting of the folding screen terminal equipment. ,

it should be noted that the terminal device is provided with a start setting rule of an application, and in the process of unfolding the folding screen of the terminal device, the application to be started is determined according to the start setting rule, and the application to be started is taken as a target application, so as to start the target application, and realize that the application is started simultaneously in the process of unfolding the folding screen.

For example, the determination manner of the target application includes at least one of the following:

firstly, setting application corresponding to the screen display application starting setting function is used as the target application. That is, the display screen application starting setting function is set in the terminal device, and the user can set the application which is automatically started when the folding screen is unfolded in the terminal device. And when the folding screen of the terminal equipment is opened, determining an application to be started (namely the target application) based on the application set in the screen-unfolding application starting setting function, and further starting the application to be started.

And secondly, determining the target application based on the application of the folded screen running before the previous screen closing. Namely, the terminal device records the running application before closing the screen each time, and when the folding screen of the terminal device is opened again, the running application before closing the screen for the previous time is taken as the target application. If the application before the user closes the screen for the previous time is the application A, when the folding screen of the terminal equipment is opened again, the application A is used as the target application opened this time, and the target application is directly started. If the user generally uses the display screen to start fixed application, if the user watches videos or plays games, the user is accustomed to using the display screen, and the user is more accustomed to using the closed screen during WeChat, so that the same application is generally and habitually used continuously during display, and therefore the application running before closing the screen is recorded and then the application running before closing the screen at the previous time is taken as the target application during display of the screen, so that the started application better meets the requirements of the user, and the user experience is improved.

And thirdly, when the time interval between the current time and the previous screen closing time of the folding screen is smaller than or equal to a preset time interval, determining the target application based on the application running when the folding screen is closed at the previous time. In the using process of the terminal device, continuous use of a user may be affected based on some external factors, if the user is called when watching a video, or receives information, the user may close a screen first, and the screen is displayed again after handling things, under the condition, the user often opens the same application, so that the user is judged to open and close the application before the screen when the time interval between the current time and the previous screen closing time of the folding screen is short, and the application running when the folding screen is closed at the previous time is taken as the target application. Compared with other embodiments, the embodiment can prevent the target application which is opened correspondingly by the screen expanding operation with short time interval, and the user needs to quit the target application and then open the application which is opened when the screen is closed for the previous time, so that the operation is complicated.

And fourthly, determining the target application according to the running time length and/or the running frequency of the application running in the opening state of the folding screen. That is, the terminal device records the application used by the user and/or the use duration of the application in the opened state of the folding screen, and the target application is changed at regular time by analyzing the use habit of the user, so that the accuracy of application starting is improved, and the started application is effectively prevented from being the application required by the user.

And fifthly, determining the target application based on the current time point and/or the application running habit corresponding to the current time point. Compared with the fourth mode, the embodiment also records application use habits corresponding to different time points, for example, common applications of 8 to 9 points at night are videos, common applications of 9 to 10 points at night are games, while in the folding screen opening process, the current time point is obtained, the target application is determined according to the current time point and/or the application operation habit corresponding to the time point, and the accuracy of automatic application starting is further improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the preset rule for starting the application that opens the folding screen includes starting the target application in a background, and opening a home interface of the target application when the user clicks an icon of the target application. Or, the preset rule for opening the application start of the folding screen further includes: and outputting a home page interface of the target application, namely starting both a foreground and a background, and displaying the home page interface of the target application when starting the target application, so that a user can directly operate the target application based on the home page interface. Still alternatively, the starting mode of the target application further includes: and outputting a preset interface of the target application, wherein the preset interface is the interface where the target application is located before the target application is closed last time. Namely, the target application is opened, and the interface opened when the target application operates last time is directly output, so that a user can quickly obtain the interface used in history, and convenience is brought to the user. It can be understood that the preset rules for starting the application corresponding to different target applications may be set differently, specifically, set according to the attribute of the application.

Referring to fig. 3, the present application provides another embodiment of an application starting method of a terminal device, and based on the embodiment of fig. 2, in this embodiment, optionally, after the step of starting the target application, that is, outputting a home page interface of the target application, the method further includes:

step S40, outputting a selection control on the home page interface, wherein the selection control comprises an exit control;

step S50, when receiving the operation of triggering the quit control based on the home page interface, quitting the home page interface of the target application;

and step S60, when receiving trigger operation based on other areas of the home page interface except the exit control, closing the selection control and keeping displaying the home page interface.

Based on the further embodiment provided by the first embodiment, in this embodiment, a selection control is displayed on a home interface of a target application, so that a user can select to continue opening the target application or quit the target application. If the target application is not required to be opened by the user at present, the embodiment enables the user to quickly exit the home page interface of the target application in a fast and convenient control mode, and saves the time for the user to search for the exit control, so that even if the currently started target application is not the application required to be opened by the user, convenient exit operation can be provided for the user. If the currently started target application is the application which is required to be opened by the user, the user only needs to touch other areas except the exit control, the selection control is closed, the home page interface is kept displayed, and the user can operate the target application. Therefore, the application in the embodiment is convenient to start, and the application is convenient to replace.

Optionally, other areas except the exit control in the home page interface of the target application are determined to be touch areas, and a user determines that the currently output application is an application required to be opened only by touching the other areas except the exit control in the home page interface, and at this time, the home page interface of the target application is switched to an operable page, that is, the selection control is closed, and the home page interface is kept displayed.

Optionally, the selection control further includes a determination control, that is, the determination control is also displayed in addition to the exit control in the home page interface of the target application. And after the quitting control is triggered, quitting the home page interface of the currently started target application, and after the determining control is triggered, keeping the currently started target application to continue running and keeping displaying the home page interface. Optionally, the determination control is located in a region other than the exit control.

Referring to fig. 4, the present application provides another embodiment of an application starting method for a terminal device, and based on all the embodiments described above, in this embodiment, after the step of determining a target application set by the terminal, before the step of starting the target application according to a preset rule for starting an application that opens the folding screen, the method further includes:

step S70, when the target application has at least two applications, outputting a starting list of the target application;

step S80, when receiving the trigger operation based on the start list, obtaining the application corresponding to the trigger operation;

and step S90, taking the application corresponding to the trigger operation as the target application.

Optionally, the application start setting rule of the terminal device according to the first embodiment may include at least two, or the display application start setting function may set at least two start applications. Therefore, in the process of opening the folding screen of the terminal device, at least two target applications can be determined through the starting setting rule. In this embodiment, the terminal device may start at least two of the target applications simultaneously.

Or, in this embodiment, when there are at least two target applications, a start list composed of at least two target applications is output, a user may select one application program to be started according to the start list, and when receiving a trigger operation of the user based on the start list, an application corresponding to the trigger operation is taken as the target application to be started.

Because the user corresponds to different applications to be started at different times, the applications set by the start setting rule are too fixed to meet the use requirements of the user on the applications at different times, so that the embodiment can generate the start list by setting various start setting rules or setting a plurality of start applications, and output the start list to the user for selection in the process of opening the folding screen of the terminal equipment, and the application currently selected by the user is taken as the target application to be started, so that the method can meet the use requirements of the user on the applications at different times.
