The application running method, the application running device and the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application are described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The application running method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene of quickly running the main application and/or the self-body application of the main application, or a scene of quickly running the application and/or executing the function in the application.

Scene 1: fast running main application and/or separate application of main application

At present, the electronic device may support "application is opened more", and specifically, an application-specific split application may be set, so that an icon of the application and an icon of the split application may be respectively displayed on a desktop, and thus, a user may trigger the electronic device to simultaneously run the application and the split application through input of the icon of the application and the icon of the split application, so that "application is opened more". However, after the application icon of an application and the application icon of the avatar application of the application need to be searched in the desktop respectively, the application and the avatar application can be run respectively, so that the operation process of switching/simultaneously running the application and the avatar application of the application by the electronic device takes a long time, and the operation efficiency of switching/simultaneously running the application and the avatar application of the application by the electronic device is low.

In the embodiment of the application, a user may input an application control indicating one application (hereinafter referred to as application a) and the avatar application of the application a to trigger the avatar application of running the application a or the application a, that is, the user may trigger the avatar application of running the application a and the application a simultaneously through different inputs to the application control without respectively searching for an application icon of the application a and an application icon of the avatar application of the application a, so that a time period for searching for the application icon may be saved, and operation efficiency of switching/running the application and the avatar application of the application simultaneously by the electronic device may be improved.

Scene 2: fast execution of functions in an application

At present, when a user needs to run a function (hereinafter referred to as function 1) in an application (hereinafter referred to as application b), the user may first find an application icon of the application b in a desktop and click on the application icon to trigger running of the application b; the user may then browse the various interfaces of application b to find the functionality control indicating functionality 1, so that the user may click on the functionality control to trigger the execution of functionality 1. Therefore, if the index of the interface where the function control is located is deep, the user may spend a long time to find the function control, and the efficiency of the electronic device executing the function in the application a is low.

In the embodiment of the application, a user can firstly find the application control indicating the application b and the function 1 in the application b in the desktop, and then the user can directly trigger the running of the function 1 through the input of the application control without triggering the running of the application b and finding the function control indicating the function 1 in the application b, so that the efficiency of the electronic device for executing the function in the application can be improved. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the user may also trigger to run the application b through another input to the application control.

Optionally, the "application control" in the embodiment of the present application may be implemented based on the "Huarong grid". The Huarong grid is a brand-new desktop grid system, and a network system with a silver division rate is adopted, so that each icon of a desktop can be flexibly and freely displayed, and the icons are completely matched randomly by a user according to own preference no matter the icons are enlarged or reduced.

Wherein the first application control may be used to indicate the first application and a first related object of the first application, the first related object including any of: the first function in the first application (for convenience of description, the "first application" will be referred to as "first split application" hereinafter, both of which have the same meaning and are interchangeable) is provided.

In this embodiment, the first application control may be an application control in a desktop of the electronic device.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the first application may be any type of application installed in the electronic device. For example, the first application may be any type of application such as a communication type, an office type, an image processing type, a news information type, a novel type, and the like.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first function is a built-in function of the first application. For example, the first function may be any possible built-in function such as a payment function, a photographing function, an image processing function, an information transmitting and receiving function, and the like in the first application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input may be a touch input or a hover input of the user to the first application control.

For example, the first input may be any possible touch input such as a click input, a long-press input, a re-press input, and the like of the user on the first application control, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

And 102, responding to the first input by the application running device, and executing a target operation corresponding to the first input.

Wherein the target operation may include any one of: the method includes running a first application, running a first avatar application, and performing a first function.

In the embodiment of the application, different first inputs correspond to different target operations.

In the application running method provided by the embodiment of the application, a user can trigger execution of a target operation corresponding to a first input through a first input to a first application control, for example, trigger execution of a first application, execute an avatar application of the first application, or execute a first function, that is, different first inputs trigger execution of different target operations, so that compared with a scheme that an application icon of one application, an application icon of an avatar application of the application, and a control indicating one function in the application need to be searched for in the conventional technology, before the application icon of the application, the avatar application of the application, and the function are executed, respectively, the application running method provided by the embodiment of the application does not need to separately search for an application icon of the application, and an application icon/a control indicating a function in the application, so that the time for searching for the application icon and the control indicating the function in the application can be saved, therefore, the operation efficiency of running the application and executing the function of the electronic equipment can be improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first display area of the first application control may include a first identifier, and the second display area of the first application control may include a second identifier, where the first identifier is used to indicate the first application, and the second identifier is used to indicate the first related object.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the following may be understood that different first inputs correspond to different target operations: the input object of the first input is different, and the target operation corresponding to the first input is also different.

Specifically, when the first input is input to the first identifier by the user, the target operation is to run the first application; or, in the case that the first input is an input to the second identifier, the target operation is to run the avatar application or to perform the first function.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the number of the first associated objects may be N, where N is a positive integer.

Specifically, when the first associated object is a first avatar application, the number of the first avatar applications may be N. The N number of split applications may be all split applications or part of split applications of the first application, and may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements.

When the first associated object is a first function, if the number of the first functions is N, the N functions may be functions in the built-in functions of the first application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first associated object may include any one of the following: user triggered selection, system defaults determined from historical usage frequency of user usage.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, if the first related object is a first avatar application (i.e., an avatar application of the first application), and N is greater than 1, the number of the second identifiers is also N, and the N first avatar applications are in one-to-one correspondence with the N second identifiers; namely, the second display area comprises N second identifiers, and each second identifier indicates one first avatar application in the N first avatar applications. If the first related object is a first function in the first application and N is greater than 1, the number of the second identifications is also N, and the N first functions are in one-to-one correspondence with the N second identifications; namely, the second display area comprises N second marks, and each second mark indicates one first function in the N first functions.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment of the application, when the second display area includes N second identifiers, and N is greater than 1, the user may trigger to perform different operations by inputting different second identifiers of the N identifiers.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the second display area includes N second identifiers and N is greater than 1, the second display area may include N sub-display areas, and each sub-display area includes one second identifier.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the N sub-display areas may be continuous display areas or discontinuous display areas.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can trigger the application running device to execute different operations through inputting different identifiers in the first application control, so that the accuracy of running the application and executing the function can be improved on the basis of improving the operation efficiency of running the application and executing the function of the electronic equipment.

For convenience of description, in the following embodiments, an application running method provided by the embodiments of the present application is exemplarily illustrated by taking N equal to 1 as an example. For the description that N is greater than 1, reference may be made specifically to the description that N is equal to 1.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first display area and the second display area may be displayed simultaneously, that is, the first identifier and the second identifier are displayed simultaneously (implementation mode 1); the first display area and the second display area can be displayed independently, namely the second display area is hidden when the first display area is displayed, and the first display area is hidden when the second display area is displayed; i.e. the first and second identifiers are displayed separately (implementation 2).

For example, in implementation mode 1, as shown in fig. 2 (a), a first display area 21 and a second display area 22 of a first application control are displayed on a desktop 20 of the electronic device, wherein an identifier a of "application 1" is included in the first display area 21, and an identifier B of an avatar application of "application 1" is included in the second display area 22.

For another example, in implementation 2, as shown in fig. 2 (B), a first display area 21 of a first application control is displayed on the desktop 20 of the electronic device, where an identifier a of "application 1" is included in the first display area 21, that is, the identifier a is in a display state, and an identifier B of an application avatar of "application 1" is in a hidden state.

The following respectively takes implementation mode 1 and implementation mode 2 as examples to exemplarily describe the application running method provided by the embodiment of the present application.

Implementation mode 1: the first display region and the second display region are simultaneously displayed

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, both the first display area and the second display area of the first application control are in a display state, so that a user may directly input the first identifier in the first display area to trigger the application running device to run the first application; alternatively, the user may directly input the second identifier in the second display area to trigger the application execution device to execute the avatar application of the first application or to execute a function in the first application. In this way, since the first identifier and the second identifier can be displayed simultaneously, the user can directly input the first identifier and/or the second identifier to trigger execution of an operation meeting the actual use requirement of the user. This may further simplify the operation of running the application and/or performing functions in the application.

Implementation mode 2: the first display region and the second display region may be displayed separately

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first application control may be specifically displayed in one window (hereinafter, referred to as a target window) in the desktop, and a display size of the target window is smaller than a display size of the first application control, for example, the display size of the target window may be equal to a display size of the first display area and/or the second display area. Therefore, the desktop space occupied by the first application control can be reduced, and the desktop space can be saved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, since the first display area and the second display area are displayed separately, when one of the first display area and the second display area is in a display state, a user may trigger the application execution device to control the other of the first display area and the second display area to be in a display state and control the one area to be in a hidden state by inputting on the one area. Namely, the user can trigger the switching of the states of the first display area and the second display area through the input on the display area in the display state.

For example, in the embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that the first display region is in a display state and the second display region is in a hidden state; the target operation is to run a separate application of the first application or to perform a first function, then: before the step 101, the application running method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 103 and step 104.

And 103, receiving a second input of the user to the first display area by the application running device.

And 104, the application running device responds to the second input, controls the first display area to be in a hidden state, and controls the second display area to be in a display state.

In the embodiment of the application, the first input is input of the second identifier in the second display area by the user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second input may be a sliding input of the user on the first display area.

For example, the second input may be an input by the user sliding up, down, left, or right on the first display area.

The above upper, lower, left and right are illustrated by taking the example that the screen of the electronic device displays the first display area when the screen of the electronic device faces the user.

The above steps 103 and 104 are exemplarily described below with reference to specific examples.

Exemplarily, assuming that the first display region is in a display state, then: as shown in fig. 2 (b), the user may slide (i.e., a second input) upward on the first display area 21, so that the application execution apparatus may display the second display area 22 on the desktop 20 and hide the first display area 21 as shown in fig. 3 (a). Namely, the first display area is controlled to be in a hidden state, and the second display area is controlled to be in a display state. Then, as shown in fig. 3(a), the user may slide upward on the second display area 22 (yet another second input), so that the application execution apparatus may display the second display area 21 and hide the first display area 22 as shown in fig. 3 (b); i.e. the second display area is controlled to be in a hidden state and the second display area 22 is controlled to be in a displayed state. This may enable updating of the display area in the first application control.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can trigger the application running device to control the other area of the first application control to be in the display state by inputting to the area of the first application control in the display state, so that the user can switch different areas of the first application control to be in the display state according to the actual use requirement of the user. In this way, the user can trigger and execute the operation meeting the actual use requirement through the first input and the second input.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first application control may be set for user triggering.

The following is an exemplary description of the process of user-triggered setting of application controls.

Illustratively, before the step 101, the application running method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 105 and 106.

And 105, receiving a third input of the first control by the user through the application running device.

The first control indicates that the target function is in a disabled state, and the target function is a function for associating the application with a related object of the application.

In the embodiment of the present application, the expression "associating an application with a related object of the application" may be understood as: and displaying the identification (such as an application icon) of the application and the identification of the related object of the application in an associated mode.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first control may be a control in the electronic device for indicating a state (including an enabled state and a disabled state) in which the target function is located.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first control may be displayed in an "application-to-body" setting interface in the setting application.

For the description of the third input, reference may be specifically made to the description related to the first input in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here to avoid repetition.

And 106, enabling the target function by the application running device in response to the third input, and adding M application controls in the desktop.

Each of the M application controls is used to indicate a second application and a related object of the second application, the M application controls include a first application control, and M is a positive integer. That is, the M application controls indicate the M second applications and related objects of the M second applications, and the M application controls, the M second applications, and the related objects of the M second applications are in one-to-one correspondence.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the M second applications may be any M applications in the electronic device.

For example, the second application may be an application program having an avatar application in the electronic device. Alternatively, the second application may be an application in the electronic device having a functional widget (e.g., a music widget in a music application). Alternatively, the second application may be an application selected by the user from the electronic device, and the user may further select a function requiring a shortcut operation from the application, for example, the first function, so that the application execution device may jointly display an identifier indicating the application and an identifier indicating the function.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, in order to save desktop space, after the application running apparatus adds M application controls in the desktop, it may cancel that the application icons of the M second applications and the identifiers of the associated objects of the M second applications (for example, the application icons of the second applications that are separate from the applications/the identifiers of the first applications) are separately displayed in the desktop.

It is to be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, after the application execution device enables the target function, the first control indicates that the target function is in an enabled state.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the first control indicates that the target function indicates the enabled state, the user may further trigger the application execution device to disable the target function through an input to the first control, so that the application execution device may delete the M application controls from the desktop, and may restore to independently/individually display the application icons of the M second applications and the identifiers of the associated objects of the M second applications in the desktop.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can trigger the application running device to jointly display the application and the associated object of the application through the input of the first control, so that the process of switching and operating the application and the associated object of the application by the user can be simplified, and the desktop space can be saved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, after the step 105, the application running method provided in this embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 107 and 108; the above step 106 can be specifically realized by the step 106a described below.
