Background

With the development of technology, electronic devices have become indispensable tools for people to work, study and entertain in daily life. When an application program in the electronic device runs, due to the limitation of the area of the screen interface, the content that can be displayed by the screen interface is limited during the reading and using of the electronic device by a user. In order to maximize the content display of the screen interface, a hidden area capable of bearing functions and operations needs to be configured.

At present, the hidden function is usually carried by the area expanded from the left and right edges of the screen interface of the electronic device, i.e. the hidden function is displayed by means of the sidebar. The electronic equipment generates and displays the sidebar as long as judging and confirming that the track operation exists at the edge of the screen interface. In the sidebar, icons of Applications (APPs) installed in the electronic device may be displayed, so as to facilitate a user to open the applications. Therefore, how to flexibly display the content in the sidebar is an urgent technical problem to be solved.

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.

It will be understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification and the appended claims, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

It should also be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, "one or more" means one, two, or more than two; "and/or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist; for example, a and/or B, may represent: a alone, both A and B, and B alone, where A, B may be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

The terms "first" and "second," and the like, in the description and in the claims of the embodiments of the present application are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order of the objects. For example, the first target object and the second target object, etc. are specific sequences for distinguishing different target objects, rather than describing target objects.

Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments," or the like, means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," or the like, in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but rather "one or more but not all embodiments" unless specifically stated otherwise. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including, but not limited to," unless expressly specified otherwise.

In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified. For example, a plurality of processing units refers to two or more processing units; the plurality of systems refers to two or more systems.

The display method of the sidebar provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to electronic equipment. The electronic device may be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer (laptop), an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an Augmented Reality (AR) Virtual Reality (VR) device, and the like, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to a specific form of the electronic device.

For convenience of description, an electronic device is taken as an example of a mobile phone, and details of a display method of a sidebar provided in an embodiment of the present application are described with reference to the following drawings.

Please refer to fig. 1, which is a diagram illustrating a service scenario according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, a developer may upload an application association rule to a cloud terminal through the terminal device 200, and on this basis, the electronic device 100 may download the application association rule from the cloud terminal. The application association rule may include a plurality of applications and associated applications corresponding to each application. In addition, if the application program includes a plurality of application scenes, each application scene may correspond to at least one associated application program.

In addition, the electronic device 100 may also upload data generated by the electronic device 100 to the cloud, so that the cloud performs big data analysis on the data uploaded by each electronic device 100 to update the application association rule. Besides, the electronic device 100 and the terminal device 200 may also be directly connected to obtain corresponding data. It should be noted that, after the terminal device 200 uploads the application association rule to the cloud, it may also modify the uploaded application association rule.

In some embodiments, when a user clicks on an icon for an application in the sidebar, the electronic device may display a floating window for the application on the currently displayed interface. The floating window comprises a plurality of operation controls, and the electronic equipment can execute corresponding operations in response to the operations of the user on the operation controls. E.g., close, zoom in, zoom out, move the floating window of the application, etc.

For example, the mobile phone currently displays an interface of the application a (live application) as an example. The user can touch the right edge of the screen of the mobile phone and slide the mobile phone to the left until the mobile phone displays the sidebar on the right side of the screen and then the user finishes the sliding operation. The sidebar includes icons of a plurality of applications, which may be a clock, a short message, a camera, a WeChat, a file management, etc., as shown in detail in FIG. 2 a. The user can open the application program corresponding to the icon by clicking the icon of one application program.

For example, the user clicks the icon of "short message" in the sidebar, and the mobile phone receives the click operation of the user on the icon of "short message". In response to the click operation, the mobile phone displays a floating window of "short message" on the home screen interface, as shown in fig. 2 b.

As another example, the user may touch the left edge of the screen of the mobile phone and perform the sliding operation to the right until the user finishes the sliding operation after the mobile phone displays a sidebar on the left side of the screen, where the sidebar includes icons of a plurality of applications, as shown in detail in fig. 3. By contrast, the sidebar is shown in fig. 2a in the right position of the phone, while the sidebar is shown in fig. 3 in the left position of the phone. Therefore, if the direction in which the user inputs the slide operation is different, the position of the corresponding display sidebar is also different.

As another example, the interface of the application B (conference application) currently displayed on the mobile phone is taken as an example, the user may touch the right edge of the screen of the mobile phone and perform a sliding operation leftward until the user finishes the sliding operation after the mobile phone displays a sidebar on the right side of the screen, where the sidebar includes icons of a plurality of applications, and the applications may be a clock, a short message, a camera, a WeChat, file management, and the like, as shown in detail in fig. 4.

By comparing fig. 2a and fig. 4, it is known that, regardless of which application is currently displayed on the mobile phone, when the user inputs the sidebar opening operation to the desktop, the icons corresponding to the displayed applications are the same. In other words, the icons of the applications displayed in the sidebar are not directly associated with the applications currently displayed on the mobile phone, and do not change from one currently displayed application to another. Therefore, the flexibility of the sidebar display is not high, and the use experience of the user is poor.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying a sidebar. In the display method of the sidebar, the content in the sidebar can be determined according to the application currently displayed by the electronic device, that is, if the application currently displayed by the electronic device is different, the content in the corresponding sidebar is also different. Therefore, the flexibility of the display of the side bar can be improved to a certain extent, and the use experience of a user can be improved.

The software system of the electronic device 100 may employ a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. The embodiment of the present application takes an operating system with a layered architecture as an example, and exemplifies a software structure of the electronic device 100.

Fig. 6 is a block diagram of a software configuration of the electronic device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each layer having a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library, and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

The application layer may include a series of application packages.

As shown in FIG. 6, the application layer may include a target application, a related application, a desktop, a floating window, intelligent recommendations, navigation, a scene recognition module, and the like.

The target application may be an application currently running and displayed by the electronic device, and the target application may also be referred to as a foreground application. The associated application may be an application associated with the target application, which may be at least one application acquired by the intelligent recommendation associated with the target application.

In the embodiment of the application, the desktop can display a plurality of application icons. In addition, upon receiving a user input sidebar opening operation, the desktop may perform the sidebar opening operation. When the desktop detects that a user inputs a clicking operation aiming at a certain application program in the sidebar, the clicked application program can be controlled to be displayed on the screen of the electronic equipment in a floating window mode/split screen mode.

In addition, the intelligent recommendation can receive the application association rule transmitted by the cloud, and after the target application is received, the intelligent recommendation can acquire at least one association application corresponding to the target application based on the application association rule. The scene identification module is used for identifying the current operation business scene of the electronic equipment.

The application framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions. As shown in FIG. 6, the application framework layers may include a view system, a window manager, a resource manager, a content provider, a system service, and the like, as shown in FIG. 6.

The system library and Runtime layer comprises a system library and an Android Runtime (Android Runtime). The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. The android runtime includes a core library and a virtual machine. It is to be understood that the components contained in the system framework layer, the system library and the runtime layer shown in fig. 6 do not constitute a specific limitation to the electronic device 100.

The HAL layer is an interface layer between the operating system kernel and the hardware circuitry. HAL layers include, but are not limited to: an Audio hardware abstraction layer (Audio HAL) and a Camera hardware abstraction layer (Camera HAL).

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The inner core layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver and a sensor driver.

It is to be understood that the layers in the software structure shown in fig. 6 and the components included in each layer do not constitute a specific limitation of the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, electronic device 100 may include more or fewer layers than those shown, and may include more or fewer components in each layer, which is not limited in this application.

In this embodiment of the application, when it is detected that the electronic device runs the target application, at least one associated application corresponding to the target application may be acquired, and then an icon of the at least one associated application is displayed in the sidebar. The current displayed application programs of the electronic equipment are different, and the displayed contents in the sidebar are different, so that the flexibility of sidebar display can be improved to a certain extent.

As shown in fig. 7, a method for displaying a sidebar according to an embodiment of the present application may include steps S101 to S113 described below.

Step S101: the cloud sends the application association rule to the intelligent recommendation.

In the embodiment of the application, the cloud end may store an application association rule, and the application association rule may be preset by a background developer according to the attribute of the application program. The application association rule may be comprised of a plurality of applications and at least one associated application for each application.

As one way, the background developer may modify the application association rules according to the usage of the application. For example, a background developer, through research, finds that an application that is more closely associated with application a at a first time is application B, and an application that is more closely associated with application a at a second time becomes application C. At this time, the developer may modify the application association rule by manual modification.

As another way, the cloud may receive usage data transmitted by multiple electronic devices, and after receiving the usage data, the cloud may analyze the usage data using an artificial intelligence algorithm to determine whether to modify the association rule.

In some embodiments, the intelligent recommendation may obtain the application association rule from the cloud end every preset period. For example, the intelligent recommendation may obtain the application association rule from the cloud once every month. Therefore, the application association rule acquired by the electronic equipment can be ensured to be latest, and the finally acquired association application can be more accurate.

As another mode, the cloud may issue the updated application association rule to each electronic device when determining that the application association rule stored in the cloud is updated. For example, the background developer modifies the application association rule at a first time, and at this time, the cloud may send the modified application association rule to the electronic device associated therewith.

As one way, if the applications applied to the association rule are different, the corresponding associated applications may also be different. The application programs and the corresponding associated application programs in the application association rule can be correspondingly stored through package names, or can be correspondingly stored through application identifiers. Applying association rules for clearer understanding the examples of the present application are given in table 1 below.

TABLE 1

Name of application package	Associated package name
		Bag name 1	Package name a, package name b, package name c
Bag name 2	Bag name x, bag name y
		Bag name 3	Bag name z

In table 1, the application package name may also be referred to as a package name of the target application, which may be a name of an application running in the foreground of the electronic device. The association package name may be a name of an application associated with the target application, and one target application may correspond to one associated application or a plurality of associated applications. The associated application may be determined based on the user's habits in using the target application.

As an example, when a user uses a conference application, there are usually some scenes such as note taking and voice communication. Therefore, the associated applications corresponding to the conference application may include a notepad application, a subtitle application, a translation application, and the like.

Step S102: the touch screen sends indication information for opening the target application.

As one way, after receiving the application association rule, the electronic device may detect whether indication information for opening the target application is received through the touch screen. In the embodiment of the application, the desktop can display icons of a plurality of application programs, and a user can open the corresponding application programs by clicking the icons displayed on the desktop.

In the process, the touch screen of the electronic device can detect whether the user inputs a touch operation, and if the touch screen detects that the user inputs the touch operation, the position input by the touch operation is determined, and the application program at the input position is used as the target application program. On the basis, the touch screen can send opening indication information to the target application program so as to open the target application program through the indication information.

In this embodiment of the application, the target application may be an application that is first opened after being started, or an application that runs in the background and is displayed in the foreground again. In other words, if the target application is a program that is running in the background, the touch operation is used to call the target application from the background to the foreground. If the target application program is not a program with the background moving, the touch operation is used for opening the target application program for the first time.

Step S103: the target application performs an open operation.

In the embodiment of the application, if the target application is an application running in a background, the target application can jump to a foreground from the background under the condition that the target application receives the opening indication information transmitted by the touch screen. In addition, if the target application is not a background running application, the target application displays a home interface of the target application under the condition that the opening indication information transmitted by the touch screen is received.

As one way, when the electronic device detects that a certain application program is being executed in the foreground, the application program being executed in the foreground may be used as a target application program. On the basis, the electronic device may also detect whether the user performs an input-side sidebar opening operation with respect to the desktop, i.e., proceed to step S104.

Step S104: the touch screen sends indication information for opening the desktop sidebar.

It is known from the above description that the user can bring up the desktop sidebar by sliding from right to left, which can be displayed on the right side of the electronic device. In addition, the user may call the desktop sidebar by sliding from left to right, and the desktop sidebar at this time may be displayed on the left side of the electronic device.

As a mode, when it is detected that a target application is run in the foreground of the electronic device, the embodiment of the application may monitor whether a sidebar opening operation input by a user is received through the touch screen. If the sidebar opening instruction information sent by the touch screen is received, an application package name acquisition request can be sent to the target application program, namely, the step S105 is entered.

In the embodiment of the application, the desktop can receive indication information for opening the desktop sidebar transmitted by the touch screen, and the indication information is used for indicating the desktop to open the sidebar.

Step S105: and when receiving the instruction information for opening the desktop sidebar, the desktop sends an application package name acquisition request to the target application.

In some embodiments, after the desktop receives the indication information for opening the sidebar, it may first determine the target application running in the foreground of the electronic device. On the basis, the desktop can send an application package name acquisition request to the target application. The application package name acquisition request is used for indicating the target application program to acquire the corresponding package name and transmitting the acquired application package name back to the desktop. In this embodiment of the application, the name of the application package may be the name of the application program, or may be a unique identifier of the application program.

In other embodiments, the electronic device may include a detection module that may be used to determine whether an application is running in the foreground of the electronic device. And if the application program is detected to run in the foreground of the electronic equipment, taking the application program running in the foreground as a target application program. On the basis, the detection module can monitor whether the user inputs opening operation aiming at the sidebar, and if the user inputs the sidebar opening operation, the package name of the target application program can be obtained and sent to the intelligent recommendation.

Step S106: and when receiving the application package name acquisition request, the target application acquires the application package name of the target application and sends the acquired target application package name to the desktop.

As is known from the above description, the application package name acquisition request is used to acquire the name of the target application program. And when receiving the application package name acquisition request, the target application can acquire the application package name and send the acquired application package name to the desktop.

Step S107: and after receiving the target application package name, the desktop sends an associated application acquisition request to the intelligent recommendation.

In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the target application package name transmitted by the target application, the desktop can send the associated application acquisition request to the intelligent recommendation. The association application acquisition request is used for indicating intelligent recommendation of association application programs corresponding to the target application program acquired based on the application association rule.

In addition, the associated application obtaining request may include a target application package name, and the intelligent recommendation may obtain the associated application by combining the target application package name and the application association rule, that is, enter step S108.

Step S108: and intelligently recommending the associated application corresponding to the target application based on the associated application acquisition request.

As known from the above description, the intelligent recommendation may obtain an application association rule from the cloud, where the application association rule may include a plurality of applications and an associated application corresponding to each application. After receiving the target application package name transmitted by the desktop, the intelligent recommendation can search at least one associated application program associated with the target application program from the application association rule.

As an example, the package name of the target application program received from the desktop is intelligently recommended to be "package name 1", and as can be seen from Table 1, the associated package names corresponding to the package name 1 are package name a, package name b and package name c, respectively. At this time, the associated applications corresponding to the target application are application a, application b, and application c.

In this embodiment of the application, the number of the associated applications corresponding to the target application may be one or multiple, and specifically, the number of the associated applications may be determined according to the attribute and the function of the target application and the habit of the user using the target application. The specific number of the associated application programs corresponding to the target application program is not specifically limited, and can be selected according to actual conditions.

It should be noted that, when the intelligent recommendation obtains the associated application obtaining request, it may also determine whether the target application program satisfies the application association rule. If the target application program meets the application association rule, the associated application program corresponding to the target application program can be obtained. If the target application program does not meet the application association rule, the associated application acquisition operation is not executed, and the sidebar can directly display the icon of the default application program at the moment.

As one way, the intelligent recommendation may determine whether the package name of the target application program is included in the application association rule when determining whether the target application program satisfies the application association rule, and if the package name of the target application program is not included, determine that the target application program does not satisfy the application association rule.

Step S109: and intelligently recommending and sending the associated application package name to the desktop.

In some embodiments, the intelligent recommendation, upon obtaining the associated application package name, may send the associated application package name to the desktop. In addition, the target application program can correspond to at least one associated application program, so after the associated application package names are acquired, the intelligent recommendation can determine whether the associated application package names are multiple or not. If multiple associated application package names are determined, the intelligent recommendation can send the multiple application package names to the desktop.

Step S110: the desktop displays icons of the associated applications.

As one mode, after receiving the associated application package name transmitted by the intelligent recommendation, the desktop may display an icon of the associated application program corresponding to the associated application package name in the sidebar.

Alternatively, when the desktop receives the associated app package names that are intelligently recommended to transmit, it may first determine the number of the associated app package names, and then determine whether the number is smaller than a preset number. If the number of associated application package names is less than the preset number, the desktop may display icons for all associated application programs. The preset number may be preset, and may be the maximum number of icons that can be directly displayed on the sidebar. For example, the preset number may be 4.

In addition, when the desktop determines that the number of the associated application package names is smaller than the preset number, the icons of the associated application programs can be sequentially displayed on the sidebar, and meanwhile, the icons of the default application programs can also be displayed on the sidebar. If the number of the associated application package names is greater than the preset number, the preset number of associated applications may be selected from the plurality of associated applications to be displayed in the embodiment of the present application.

As an example, the target application is a conference-type application through which the user performs english web lesson learning. After the package name of the conference application program is obtained, the intelligent recommendation determines that the corresponding associated application programs comprise a notepad application program, a translation application program and a subtitle application program based on the application association rule. After receiving the package names corresponding to the notepad application program, the translation application program and the subtitle application program which are intelligently recommended to transmit, the desktop can display the icons of the notepad application program, the translation application program and the subtitle application program on the sidebar.

As shown in fig. 8a, the target application running in the foreground of the electronic device is a conference application 11, and the user can learn english web lessons through the conference application 11. In the process of running the conference application program 11, the foreground of the electronic device detects that a user inputs a desktop sidebar opening operation, namely, slides a mobile phone screen from right to left, and at this time, intelligently recommends that the associated application programs corresponding to the conference application program 11 obtained based on the application association rule include a notepad application program, a translation application program and a subtitle application program.

After receiving the package names of the notepad application program, the translation application program and the subtitle application program which are intelligently recommended to be transmitted, the desktop can acquire icons corresponding to the notepad application program, the translation application program and the subtitle application program. The icon for the notepad application, the icon for the translation application, and the icon for the subtitle application are then displayed on the sidebar, as shown in detail in FIG. 8 b. The icon 12 of the notepad application, the icon 13 of the translation application and the icon 14 of the subtitle application in fig. 8b can all be referred to as icons of associated applications.

As will be understood from the above description, there are 3 applications associated with the conference application 11, which are a notepad application, a translation application, and a subtitle application. By comparison, it is determined that the number 3 of applications associated with the conference type application is less than the preset number 4, and at this time, a default application icon 15 as shown in fig. 8b may be displayed at the vacant position of the sidebar. The default application program may be preset or determined according to the usage habits of the user.

Step S111: the touch screen sends indication information for opening the associated application.

As one way, the electronic device, after displaying the icon of the associated application, may detect whether the user inputs an open operation for the icon displayed in the sidebar. Specifically, the touch screen may receive a touch operation input by a user and then determine whether the touch operation is directed to an icon input in the sidebar. If the touch operation is directed to the icon input in the sidebar, it may determine which associated application program the touch operation specifically triggers is, and send open indication information to the triggered associated application. Therefore, the indication information for opening the associated application sent by the touch screen in the embodiment of the application is mainly used for opening the associated application triggered by the user.

Step S112: the associated application sends a display request to the desktop.

In some embodiments, after receiving the indication information transmitted by the touch screen, the associated application may send a display request to the desktop to instruct the desktop to display an open interface of the associated application. Wherein, the display request may include an identifier corresponding to the associated application.

Step S113: the desktop displays an open interface of the associated application.

In the embodiment of the application, if the desktop receives the display requests sent by different associated applications, the corresponding displayed interfaces are different. As an example, the desktop detects that the icon 12 of the notepad application in the sidebar is triggered by the user, and the desktop may correspondingly display the open interface of the notepad application, as shown at 121 in FIG. 8c, the open interface of the notepad application. During the course of the lesson, the user can open the notepad by clicking on the icon 12 of the notepad application if what content needs to be recorded. Therefore, the user can take notes while listening to the online class, and the use experience of the user can be improved to a great extent.

As another example, the desktop detects that the icon 13 of the translation application in the sidebar is triggered by the user, and the desktop may display an open interface of the translation application, such as 131 shown in fig. 8 d. During the course of the web lesson, if the language of the web lesson cannot be understood, the user can open the translation software by clicking the icon 13 of the translation application. Therefore, when a user listens to a network course, if unknown words or sentences are encountered, translation can be carried out through translation software, the flexibility of sidebar display can be improved to a certain extent, and the use experience of the user can be improved.

As another example, the desktop detects that the icon 14 of the subtitle application in the sidebar is triggered by the user, and the desktop may display the subtitle accordingly, as shown at 141 in fig. 8e, the subtitle generated by the electronic device through recognizing the user's voice. In the process of surfing the lesson, if the user can not understand the content well only by hearing, the user can be helped to understand the learning content better to a certain extent if the voice data of the lecturer is translated into characters and displayed. In addition, aiming at the users with hearing impairment, the scheme is more friendly, and the users can well understand the expression of the opposite user through the subtitles.

In some implementations, the desktop, upon receiving a display request transmitted by the associated application, can determine whether the associated application is adapted with the target application. If the associated application program is matched with the target application program, the associated application program and the target application program can be displayed in a split screen mode.

Specifically, the desktop may determine whether the associated application program and the target application program have a split-screen display function, and if both the associated application program and the target application program have the split-screen display function, may perform split-screen display on the associated application program and the target application program. The interface of the target application program and the interface of the associated application program can be completely displayed in a split screen display mode.

Referring to fig. 9, upon detecting that the icon 13 of the translation application is triggered, and determining that the target application and the translation application both have the split-screen display function, the electronic device displays the target application 11 on the first display area of the screen and displays the open interface 132 of the translation application on the second display area of the screen. It should be noted that when the associated application program and the target application program are displayed in a split screen manner, the display may be a vertical screen display or a horizontal screen display, and may be specifically determined according to the posture of the electronic device.

In addition, if it is determined that the associated application is not adapted to the target application, the embodiment of the present application may display the associated application in the form of a floating window, as shown in detail in fig. 8c and 8 d. The related application program is displayed through the floating window, the size of the display window of the target application program is not changed, and the use experience of a user can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

In other embodiments, the desktop, when determining that the associated application is suitable for the target application, may also determine whether the associated application has an interface, and if the associated application has an interface, the electronic device may display the target application and the associated application in a smart split screen manner. The desktop, in determining whether the associated application has an interface, may determine whether the associated application invokes activity, and if so, determine that the associated application has an interface.

In addition, if it is determined that the associated application does not have an interface, the display interface of the target application remains unchanged, and the desktop may open the service to run the associated application through the service. For example, a recording operation is performed through a service.

In other embodiments, when the desktop receives a display request transmitted by the associated application, the desktop may pop up a display mode selection interface, where the interface may display a split-screen display control and a floating window display control, and if the user selects the split-screen display control, the desktop may perform split-screen display on the associated application and the target application.

In addition, if the user selects the hover window display control, the desktop hovers the associated application over the target application. The specific manner in which the associated application and the target application are displayed is not specifically limited, and may be selected according to actual situations.

As shown in fig. 10, another embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying a sidebar, where the method for displaying a sidebar may include the following steps S201 to S215.

Step S201: the cloud sends the application association rule to the intelligent recommendation.

In this embodiment of the application association rule, the application association rule may be composed of a plurality of application programs, at least one service scenario corresponding to each application program, and at least one associated application program corresponding to each service scenario.

As a manner, the application programs in the application association rule are different, the corresponding service scenarios are different, and the association application corresponding to each service scenario may also be different. The service scene and the corresponding associated application in the application association rule may be stored correspondingly through a scene name, or may be stored correspondingly through a scene identifier. Applying association rules for clearer understanding the examples of the present application are given in table 2 below.

TABLE 2

In table 2, the application package name may also be referred to as a package name of the target application, which may be the name of an application running in the foreground of the electronic device. The scenario name may also be referred to as the name of the target business scenario, which may be the business scenario currently running by the target application. As can be seen from table 2, the same application may correspond to one or more service scenarios, and the same service scenario may also correspond to one or more associated applications.

In this embodiment of the present application, the association package name may be a name of an application program associated with the target service scenario. Therefore, one target business scenario may correspond to one associated application, or may correspond to a plurality of associated applications. The associated application may be determined according to the user's habits in using the target business scenario.

It should be noted that the correspondence between the application package name, the scene name, and the associated package name in table 1 is only used as an example, and the actual situation is the standard.

Step S202: the touch screen sends indication information for opening the target application.

Step S203: the target application performs a target application open operation.

Step S204: the touch screen sends indication information for opening the desktop sidebar.

Step S205: and when receiving the instruction information for opening the desktop sidebar, the desktop sends an application package name acquisition request to the target application.

Step S206: and when receiving the application package name acquisition request, the target application acquires the application package name of the target application and sends the acquired target application package name to the desktop.

In the embodiment of the present application, the above embodiments of step S202 to step S206 have been described in detail, and are not repeated herein.

Step S207: and after receiving the target application package name, the desktop sends a scene identification request to the scene identification module.

In some embodiments, the same application may include multiple service scenarios, and the service scenarios are different, and the corresponding application functions are also different, so as to achieve the display of the sidebar more flexibly. After obtaining the name of the target application package, the desktop may send a scene identification request to the scene identification module to instruct the scene identification module to identify the current running scene of the target application program, that is, step S208 is performed.

Step S208: the scene recognition module recognizes a scene in which the target application is currently located.

In this embodiment of the application, the scene identification request may include a name of the target application package and operation data of the target application program, where the operation data may include scene operation data. The scene recognition module can recognize the current operation business scene of the electronic equipment when receiving the scene recognition request so as to obtain a scene recognition result. The currently running service scenario may also be referred to as a target service scenario, and thus the scenario identification result may include a name or an identifier of the target service scenario.

As one way, after receiving the scene recognition request, the scene recognition module may determine the current scene of the target application program based on the operation data of the target application program, i.e., identify which target business scene is. As an example, the scene recognition module determines that the target application is a short video application based on the scene recognition request, and meanwhile, the scene recognition module determines that the current scene of the short video application is a live broadcast service scene based on the operation data, so that the current target service scene is a live broadcast service scene.

In the embodiment of the application, different service scenes of the same application program can be distinguished by the service scene names. For example, the social communication application includes a plurality of service scenarios, which may be a chat service scenario, a video service scenario, a circle of friends service scenario, and the like.

Optionally, different service scenarios of the same application may also be distinguished by the scenario identifier. For example, in a short video application, a scene identifier 1 indicates a live service scene, and a scene identifier 2 indicates a video service scene. The specific way to distinguish different service scenarios is not specifically limited, as long as different service scenarios can be clearly distinguished.

In other embodiments, the scene recognition module may also determine the current business scene of the target application program through image recognition. Specifically, the scene recognition module may obtain a current display interface diagram of the electronic device, and perform image recognition on the current display interface diagram on the basis to determine content displayed on a current interface of the electronic device, so as to determine the target service scene. In addition, the scene recognition module can also acquire a video frame with a specified duration, and the target service scene is obtained by carrying out image recognition on the video frame.

As an example, the scene recognition module determines, through image recognition, that the service scene currently displayed by the electronic device includes "chapter", "chat history", instructor, english PPT, and the like, so that the service scene currently located by the electronic device is comprehensively determined to be an english web lesson scene, and the english web lesson scene can be used as a target service scene.

In other embodiments, the scene recognition module may also determine the current business scene of the target application program through the combination of graph recognition and speech recognition. Specifically, the scene recognition module can record a screen and record a sound to the electronic device to obtain a target video when determining that the electronic device outputs audio data. On the basis, image recognition and voice recognition are carried out on the target video, and the current operation business scene of the electronic equipment is comprehensively determined according to the image recognition result and the voice recognition result, so that the scene recognition result is obtained.

In other embodiments, the scene recognition module may also obtain operation data input by the user, and then analyze the operation data to obtain an operation analysis result. On the basis, the current operation scene of the electronic equipment is determined based on the operation analysis result. Wherein the operation analysis result may include a target operation, and the target operation may include a plurality of sub-operations.

In the embodiment of the application, the operation and the service scene can be stored in the electronic device in a one-to-one correspondence manner. After the operation data input by the user is analyzed to obtain the target operation, the service scene corresponding to the target operation can be searched, and the service scene is used as the service scene of the current operation of the target application program.

For example, the scene recognition module determines that the user continuously inputs the slide-down/slide-up operation by analyzing the operation data, and comprehensively determines that the current service scene of the electronic device is the video scene of the short video application program by combining the data operated by the electronic device. By analyzing the operation data of the user, the method and the device can determine what button is triggered by the user, which application is opened, and whether the startup/shutdown operation is executed, so that the current operation business scene of the electronic equipment can be deduced.

The embodiment of the application can be combined with one or more modes to comprehensively realize the identification of the service scene. For example, a service scene currently operated by the electronic device is obtained by combining operation data input by a user, an image recognition result and a voice recognition result. How to combine and what combination can be selected according to actual conditions, and the combination is not specifically limited.

It should be noted that, when a service scene currently operated by the electronic device is identified in combination with multiple manners, if there is a situation that the identification results are different, the user may be instructed to input the information by outputting the prompt information, and the scene selected by the user is used as the service scene currently operated by the electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, statistics may also be performed on results of different recognition modes, and if there are different results, the recognition result is determined based on the number of votes. In other words, the recognition result with the largest number of votes is used as the current operation business scene of the electronic device. In addition, if the number of votes is the same, the image recognition result and the voice recognition result may be used as the criteria.

As an example, determining that a scene where the electronic equipment is currently located is a live broadcast service scene according to an image recognition result and a voice recognition result; determining the current scene of the electronic equipment as a video service scene through the operation input by a user; and determining that the scene where the electronic equipment is currently located is a video service scene by analyzing the application data.

At this time, a prompt interface may be output, which may prompt the user to input the correct service scenario. If a selection instruction input by a user is received within a specified time period, the service scene selected by the user can be used as a target service scene.

In addition, if a selection instruction input by a user is not received within a specified time period, the video service scene can be used as the service scene currently operated by the electronic device, mainly because the vote of the video service scene has 2 votes, and the vote of the live broadcast service scene has only 1 vote.

Optionally, if the number of votes in the video service scene is the same as the number of votes in the live service scene, the live service scene may be used as a service scene currently running in the electronic device. The main reason is that the recognition result scene obtained by image recognition and voice recognition is relatively accurate.

Step S209: and the scene recognition module sends acquisition indication information of the associated application to the intelligent recommendation.

As one mode, after obtaining the scene recognition result, the scene recognition module may send associated obtaining indication information to the intelligent recommendation, where the indication information is used to indicate an associated application corresponding to the intelligent recommendation obtaining target service scene. Therefore, the acquisition instruction information of the associated application may include a package name/application identifier of the target application program and a scene name/scene identifier of the target service scene.

Step S210: and intelligently recommending and acquiring the associated application corresponding to the current scene of the target application.

In some embodiments, after acquiring the acquisition instruction information transmitted by the scene identification module, the intelligent recommendation may acquire an associated application corresponding to a service scene where the target application is currently located.
