According to some embodiments of the present application, a method for sharing an application interface by an electronic device is described below in a specific embodiment, and fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for sharing an application interface, where the method may be executed by the electronic device 100 according to the foregoing embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, and the method specifically includes:

in step S201, the electronic device establishes a video communication connection with a communication object.

The instant messaging connection between users can be realized by using the video call application, for example, the video communication connection is established between the mobile phone of the user A and the mobile phone of the user B, after the video communication connection is established, the user A and the user B can carry out instant video chat, and the video file collected by the camera is transmitted in real time. In other embodiments in the present application, the mobile phone of the user a may establish a voice communication connection or a text communication connection with the mobile phone of the user B, which is not limited herein.

And S202, the electronic equipment displays a communication window corresponding to the video communication connection on a display screen in a floating window mode.

According to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, after the mobile phone of the user a establishes a video communication connection with the mobile phone or the computer of the user B, a video window capable of displaying an image of the user and/or a video window of the shared user side is presented on the display screen of the mobile phone of the user a, the video window may be set as a floating window and placed on the top layer of the display screen of the mobile phone, and meanwhile, the user may click any other applications on the mobile phone, such as hua applied market APP, Baidu APP, and the like, and the user may watch other applications on the mobile phone while playing the video.

Step S203, the electronic device executes a sharing operation in response to the sharing request of the first application, so that the sharing user shares the application on the electronic device with the user serving as the communication object.

In response to the sharing request of the first application, executing the sharing operation may be understood as starting the sharing of the first application, and only the preset triggering condition of the sharing of the first application needs to be satisfied, for example, whether the click on the icon of the first application satisfies the pressing time and the number of consecutive clicks, or whether the drag position of the icon is in place, whether the setting authority is released, or the like, or when several set conditions are satisfied at the same time, triggering the sharing of the first application to the communication object. Through the setting of the trigger condition, the sharing safety of the sharing user can be improved, and careless sharing of own information to other people is avoided. Note that the first application in the present application may be a video, a picture, a file, or the like, and the point-and-click in the present application covers a pressing operation using a touch panel or a touch pad and a point-and-click operation using a device such as a mouse.

Step S204, the electronic equipment runs the first application, so that the interface of the first application is displayed on the display screen, and the displayed interface of the first application is obtained. The interface for acquiring the first application can be acquired in a screen recording mode, and can also be acquired in a mode of extracting a shared application graph buffer area. The acquiring of the interface of the first application specifically includes: and running the first application and displaying the interface of the first application on the display screen to acquire the displayed interface of the first application. That is to say, after the first application sharing operation is performed, the electronic device may run the first application, that is, open the first application, so that the first application runs in the foreground, the interface of the first application is presented on the display screen of the electronic device, and the interface of the first application starts to be acquired in a screen recording manner. Or a manner of extracting the shared application graphics buffer, for example, a stored graphics display interface image of the first application may be extracted from a buffer of the application, such as a frame buffer (frame buffer) under an android system (but the application is not limited thereto), and then the interface image of the first application is sent to the communication object through a video communication connection.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, taking a mobile phone as an example, the sharing user shares an exercise health Application (APP) on the mobile phone through the mobile phone, after the exercise health sharing condition is triggered, the mobile phone background opens the APP, and displays interface information of the APP on a display screen of the mobile phone, at this time, an interface of the exercise health APP on the display screen can be acquired through a screen recording function, the user can continue to click a sleep function module under the interface when using the mobile phone, so as to obtain a sleep state of the sharing user, such as insufficient sleep, better sleep, and the like, and all interfaces that are turned or clicked at any time and displayed on the display screen of the mobile phone can be acquired through the screen recording.

In step S205, the acquired displayed interface of the first application is sent to the communication object through the floating window based on the video communication connection, and may be sent to the communication object together with a command indicating that the communication object displays the displayed interface. After the displayed interface of the first application is acquired, a video file containing the operation process of the displayed interface of the first application can be sent to a communication object in real time through a floating window based on video communication connection, meanwhile, when the displayed interface of the first application is sent, a command for indicating or prompting the communication object to display the displayed interface is attached, and then the video is displayed on a display screen of the communication object after the communication object receives the video of the shared interface of the application. Therefore, the content which is required to be shared can be instantly shared between the sharing user and the shared user, namely, the electronic equipment of the sharing user and the communication object can instantly display the interface of the first application, the sharing user and the communication object can simultaneously watch the interface of the first application and communicate with each other, the sharing mode is used as the interface that the user of the communication object can only watch the shared application, the sharing mode has higher safety, and the sharing experience of the user is improved.

As will be understood by those skilled in the art, after the device of the communication object receives the video of the interface of the shared application and the command to display the displayed interface, a prompt window may be set for the user of the communication object to inquire whether the user of the communication object wishes to display the displayed interface. The user of the communication object can accept or reject the sharing by operating a key on the prompt window or the like.

In a specific embodiment of the present application, in step S202, the electronic device executes a sharing operation in response to a sharing request of the first application, and may implement the sharing operation in the following manner, as shown in fig. 7, specifically including the following steps:

step S2021, detecting whether the icon of the first application is dragged to a position overlapping with a preset position on the display screen, where the preset position may be any position covered by the floating window, for example, after a video connection is established on the mobile phone, a floating window may be formed on the display screen of the mobile phone, where the floating window is at any position covered on the display screen, that is, any position where the floating window overlaps with the display screen, where the determination of overlapping with the preset position may be a point (i.e., contact between the icon and the preset position by at least one point) or an overlap of a surface (i.e., overlap between the icon and the preset position by a predetermined area size (ratio)).

In step S2022, when it is detected that the first application is dragged to a position overlapping with the preset position on the display screen, a sharing operation of the first application is performed.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, when the sharing user wants to share the exercise health APP, drag the exercise health APP icon to a position on the display screen that overlaps with the floating window, at this time, the sharing of the APP may be triggered, and after the exercise health APP is opened, display an interface of the APP on the display screen, as shown in fig. 4. The operation is simple and quick, and the operation is convenient for users.

According to an embodiment of the application, when it is detected that the first application is dragged to a position overlapping with a preset position on the display screen, sharing of the first application can be further executed through displaying a pop-up confirmation window, for example, an exercise health APP icon is dragged to a position overlapping with a floating window on the display screen, an option of whether to share is generated, whether a user wants to share is prompted, and the user can execute sharing of the first application through selection confirmation. If the user does not want to share, the user can click the option of no or cancel sharing and the like, and the sharing is refused, so that the misoperation of the user is further prevented, and the sharing safety is improved.

In an embodiment of the application, in step S202, another way for the electronic device to execute the sharing operation in response to the sharing request of the first application is, as shown in fig. 8, specifically including the following steps:

step S2021', detecting whether a preset position on the display screen is clicked in a predetermined manner, wherein the preset position may be implemented as a certain button on the screen, or an icon of the application is directly designated as the preset position. The click operation is a pressing operation using a touch panel or a touch pad or a clicking operation using a mouse or the like. The pressing operation may include long-pressing an icon of an application or continuously pressing an icon of an application. The predetermined mode may be a long-time press, or a right mouse button (applied to a PC or a smart tv) is clicked on an icon of a certain application, or multiple clicks are performed on an icon of a certain application, and the like.

In step S2022', when the preset position is detected to be clicked in the predetermined manner, the sharing of the first application is performed.

For example, the predetermined manner is to press the floating window for 3 seconds, and when it is detected that the duration of the pressing of the floating window or the video window reaches 3 seconds, the sharing of the first application is triggered. In a preferred embodiment, a list of applications to be shared selected by the user is popped up from the position of the floating window or the video window, and the user can select the applications to be shared from the list. The above listed pop-up positions are merely exemplary illustrations, and the present application is not limited thereto.

For another example, if the predetermined manner is right-clicking an icon of the application, when the right-clicking operation is detected, the sharing of the first application is executed.

According to another embodiment of the application, the electronic device, in response to a sharing request of a first application, performs a sharing operation, including: the method comprises the steps of opening a first application, switching an interface of the first application to a foreground operation, popping up an option frame on the interface of the first application, wherein the option frame can be directly popped up on a sharing interface of the first application, or can be popped up after a user clicks a designated position, the option frame can comprise a communication object which is in video communication connection with electronic equipment, and when the communication object is selected, a sharing operation is executed, namely, the interface of the first application is triggered to be shared to the communication object. As shown in fig. 9, the user opens the exercise health APP, pops up an option box after opening, displays the head portrait of the shared user in video connection in the option box, and the user can share the communication object through clicking the head portrait to trigger the interface of the first application, so that the shared user can view the exercise health interface.

According to the preferred embodiment of the application, after a user shares a plurality of applications, the shared applications and the currently shared applications are displayed in an icon manner in a row on the floating window, and when the icon is pressed or moved according to a set manner, the application is cancelled or shared again. For example, the sharing is cancelled when the icon is pressed for 3 seconds for a long time or the icon is moved out of the floating window, or the icon is pressed or clicked for a short time, so that the applications which are already shared are shared again. As shown in fig. 10, an interface of a third application being shared is displayed on a floating window, a user already shares a first application and a second application, the third application is currently being shared, and the first application, the second application and the third application are arranged below the floating window in the form of icons, wherein the selected third application is the application being shared, the first application and the second application can run in the background, when the user shares the first application or the second application again, the user can directly click the icon corresponding to the application to share the interface of the first application or the second application again, and in addition, the user can also directly drag the icon of the application to the outside of the floating window or double-click to close the application, cancel the sharing, display the application in the form of small icon arrangement, view the shared application more intuitively, and facilitate the user to find or cancel the shared application more conveniently and quickly, the sharing experience of the user is further improved.

According to an embodiment of the application, after it is detected that the preset position is clicked in a predetermined manner, the sharing of the first application may be further executed by displaying a pop-up confirmation window, for example, after the time of pressing the floating window reaches 3 seconds, an option of whether to share is generated to prompt a user whether to share, and the user may execute the sharing of the first application by selecting confirmation. And if the user does not want to share, the user can click on the options of no sharing, sharing cancellation and the like to reject sharing. For another example, the predetermined manner is to right click an icon of the application, and after the click operation of the right click is detected, a sharing option is generated to prompt the user whether to share, and the user can execute sharing of the first application by selecting and confirming. And if the user does not want to share, the user can click on the options of no sharing, sharing cancellation and the like to reject sharing. Through such setting, can further improve the security of sharing.

As an embodiment of the application, after the sharing of the first application to the communication object is performed, the first application is marked as the sharing state, where the sharing state may be in a form of attaching a pattern or a character (e.g., a small dot, an asterisk, a number, or a letter) on an icon of the application, or in a manner of marking a chinese character in an interface of the application, for example, a word "sharing in the middle of sharing" or "sharing state" may be written on the interface of the first application on the display screen, or in other forms of symbols, so as to display that the first application is in the shared state. Therefore, the user can know that the state of the first application is the sharing state, and is further prompted to be in the sharing process, and the user can be effectively prevented from possibly forgetting that the interface is the sharing state in long-time chatting.

In some embodiments of the application, in order to further improve the security of user sharing and facilitate management of information of the user, the application may be set with a right in right management of the application, when a sharing user wants to share a first application, it is first determined whether the first application has the right to be shared, and when it is determined that the first application has the right to be shared, a sharing operation of sharing the first application to a sharing object is performed. That is to say, the user can set whether the first application has the authority of sharing according to the privacy degree of each application, for example, APP applications related to banks, wallets and the like can set the authority, and entertainment APPs with lower privacy degree and the like can not set the authority. When the first application with the permission is shared, the reminder that the application has the permission and cannot be shared can be popped up to warn the user to carry out cautious sharing, and if the user really needs to share the first application, the user can share the first application by changing the permission. If the communication object has no authority, selecting whether the communication object is shared or not, and executing sharing operation of sharing the first application to the communication object after selecting the sharing option. The sharing authority is set, so that the use safety of the user can be improved.

According to an embodiment of the application, after the sharing is finished, the user can finish the sharing of the communication object in various ways, namely cancel the sharing of the application. Here, "cancel" means to stop acquiring the interface of the first application and stop sending the interface of the first application to the communication object.

As an implementation manner, the user may close the sharing of the application by closing the first application connection established with the communication object, that is, by suspending the current call based on the first application. Since the transmission of the application share is based on the communication connection, the interruption of the communication connection means the end of the application share. Similarly, the user to whom the communication is directed may terminate the sharing of the application by suspending the communication.

As another implementation, the user may choose to end the sharing of the application by pressing a preset location, such as a particular button on the interface, in a predetermined manner. Likewise, the user who is the object of communication can also terminate the sharing of the accepted application by pressing the specific button in a predetermined manner.

As yet another implementation, the user may press an icon of the first application in a predetermined manner to end the sharing of the application.

As another implementation, the user may directly cause the first application not to run in the foreground to trigger cancellation of the sharing of the first application. The non-foreground running includes switching the first application from foreground to background running, directly closing or terminating the running of the first application, and the like.

The sharing canceling mode is convenient to operate, the user can interrupt sharing of the communication object at any time according to the requirement of the user, and sharing experience of the user is further improved.

Fig. 11 illustrates a flow chart of a method for handover of an application, according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 11, when a user wants to replace a shared application, that is, when sharing of a first application continues for a certain time, the user wants to share a second application different from the first application, specifically, the method may include the following steps:

step S701, in response to the sharing request of the second application, the electronic device executes a sharing operation and triggers that the sharing of the first application is cancelled, where the cancelling of the sharing of the first application includes that the first application is closed or terminated to run, or the first application runs in a background of the electronic device.
