Background

With the rapid development of internet technology, more and more services can be processed online through corresponding applications, which also causes the applications to need frequent data queries. When the number of data query requests is increased, the efficiency of data query is gradually reduced, which prolongs the time for the user to wait for data loading.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a data query method and electronic equipment, the data query method can filter invalid data query requests, readjust the sequence of the rest data query requests, and improve the efficiency of data query.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a data query method, where the method includes: the electronic equipment generates a plurality of data query requests; the electronic equipment can delete part of data query requests in the plurality of data query requests to obtain a first data query request; the electronic equipment adjusts the sequence of each data query request in the first data query request; and the electronic equipment sequentially acquires the data requested by each data query request in the first data query request according to the adjusted sequence.

By implementing the method of the first aspect, the electronic device filters a part of the data query requests, so that the redundancy of the data query requests and the waste of resources in the data query process can be reduced, and the data query speed is increased; the electronic equipment adjusts the sequence of each data query request in the first data query request, so that the electronic equipment can be prevented from processing the data query requests only according to the generation sequence, and the experience of a user is improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in an embodiment, before the electronic device generates the plurality of data query requests of the first application, the method further includes: the electronic equipment receives a first operation and displays a first user interface; within a first time after receiving the first operation, the electronic equipment receives a second operation and displays a second user interface; the plurality of data query requests can comprise a second data query request, and the data requested by the second data query request is the data required by the first user interface;

that is to say, the electronic device may regard the data query request with the shorter page dwell time as an invalid data query request, so that the electronic device may regard the user interface that is quickly switched by the user as an invalid interface, cancel loading of data on the invalid interface, and increase the loading speed of data that the user wants to query.

With reference to the first aspect, in one implementation, the electronic device may delete any one of the same data query requests in the plurality of data query requests.

With reference to the first aspect, in an implementation manner, the electronic device may only retain one of the identical data query requests, and delete the other identical data query requests.

Therefore, the same data query requests generated by repeated operation of the user can be filtered, and the efficiency of data query is improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in one implementation, the electronic device receives a third operation, and may display a third user interface; the electronic equipment receives the fourth operation and can display a fourth user interface; the electronic equipment receives the fifth operation and can display a third user interface; the plurality of data query requests may include a third data query request, where data requested by the third data query request is data required by a fourth user interface; the third data query request is an invalid data query request, and the electronic device may delete the third data query request.

Therefore, the method can determine whether the data query request is an invalid data query request by checking the user interfaces appearing before and after the data query request is generated, and avoid wasting the time for querying data due to misoperation of a user.

With reference to the first aspect, in one implementation, the electronic device may delete a data query request, which is generated for a time greater than a first time threshold, from the plurality of data query requests.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can delete the data query request generated at an earlier time, reduce the redundancy of the request queue and improve the efficiency of data query.

With reference to the first aspect, in an implementation, the electronic device may adjust an order of each data query request in the first data query request according to one or more of the following: the generation time of the first data query request; the larger the generation time is, the later the corresponding data query request is; a usage of the data requested by the first data query request; when the requested data is higher in the degree perceived by the user, the corresponding data query request is more advanced; or generating a screen state of the electronic equipment when the first data query request is generated; the screen state of the electronic device may include: lightening and unlocking the screen, lightening and locking the screen, and extinguishing the screen; the data query requests corresponding to the screen-up and unlocking are in front of the sequence of the data query requests corresponding to the screen-up and locking, and the data query requests corresponding to the screen-up and locking are in front of the sequence of the data query requests corresponding to the screen-down.

That is, the electronic device may determine the ranking order of the data query requests according to the following three features: generation time, data usage, screen status.

When the generation time is longer, the corresponding data query request is more backward, that is, the data query request generated later is easier to be processed preferentially. In this way, the user can more quickly view the data of the current query.

The usage of the data can be divided into: page display, voice broadcast, background use and process processing. According to the categories, the data query requests are gradually ordered backwards. Therefore, the electronic equipment can process the data which can be sensed by the user preferentially, and the time for waiting for the data loading by the user is shortened.

Specifically, the priority of the data query request may be determined according to the following formula:

Priority＝C₁F₁+C₂F₂+C₃F₃+…+C_nF_n

wherein Priority represents the Priority of the data query request.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail and clearly with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments herein, "/" means "or" unless otherwise specified, for example, a/B may mean a or B; "and/or" in the text is only an association relationship describing an associated object, and means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may mean: three cases of a alone, a and B both, and B alone exist, and in addition, "a plurality" means two or more than two in the description of the embodiments of the present application.

In the following, the terms "first", "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as implying or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of embodiments of the application, unless stated otherwise, "plurality" means two or more.

The term "User Interface (UI)" in the following embodiments of the present application is a media interface for interaction and information exchange between an application program or an operating system and a user, and implements conversion between an internal form of information and a form acceptable to the user. The user interface is source code written by java, extensible markup language (XML) and other specific computer languages, and the interface source code is analyzed and rendered on the electronic equipment and finally presented as content which can be identified by a user. A commonly used presentation form of the user interface is a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations and displayed in a graphical manner. It may be a visual interface element such as text, an icon, a button, a menu, a tab, a text box, a dialog box, a status bar, a navigation bar, a Widget, etc. displayed in the display of the electronic device.

The data query method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to an application program which can perform cross-process communication and has a request queue mechanism. The application may be installed and run in the electronic device. Inter-process communication (IPC), which is Inter-process communication, refers to a process of data exchange between a foreground process and a background process.

Wherein, the interaction of electronic equipment and external world can be realized to the proscenium process. The interaction of the electronic device with the outside world may include, but is not limited to: the electronic device displays visual interface elements, plays audio, vibrates a motor, receives and responds to user actions, and the like. The background process provides data query service for the foreground process. The data query service may include, but is not limited to: querying data involved when the electronic device displays a visible interface element, and data involved when the electronic device plays audio.

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of cross-process communication. As shown in fig. 1, the application includes a foreground process and a background process during the running process.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 illustrates an example of a specific background process processing a data query request.

As shown in fig. 2, taking "exercise health" application as an example, a foreground process of the electronic device may successively initiate the following data query requests:

q1, inquiring the movement distance, movement heat, movement time and heart rate;

q2, inquiring sleeping time and weight;

and Q3, inquiring the movement pace and the movement track.

After the background process receives the 3 data query requests, the 3 data query requests are arranged in the request queue according to the initiating sequence. Then, the background process processes the data query requests in sequence according to the initiation sequence of the requests, namely processing the Q1, then processing the Q2 and finally processing the Q3. After the background process queries the corresponding data, the queried data can be sequentially returned to the foreground process.

That is, during the running process of the application program, the foreground process may successively initiate a plurality of data query requests. Due to the limited data size during cross-process communication, in general, a foreground process can generate the data query requests in sequence and send the data query requests to a background process in sequence. After receiving a plurality of data query requests, the background process processes the data query requests in sequence according to the received sequence, that is, according to the actual generation sequence of the data query requests. That is, the background process will process the first generated data query request.

The mechanism for processing the data query request by the foreground and background processes shown in fig. 2 may result in a long time for the subsequently generated data query request to be responded. When the number of the data query requests increases, the time for the background process to process the data query requests increases, and the time for the user to wait for the data loading is prolonged. If the user quickly switches to another user interface, such as a motion record interface, and the foreground process sends a data query request about motion records to the background process, however, because a plurality of data query requests still exist in the request queue to be processed, the data query request about motion records currently cannot be processed in time, and the electronic device cannot display the motion records of the user in real time. That is, the electronic device can only process the data query requests in sequence according to the sequence in which the requests are initiated.

Not limited to the cross-process communication described above, in some embodiments, the application program may also enable the electronic device to interact with the outside world and provide data query services using a single process. Specifically, when an application program queries data by using a single process, the process may generate a plurality of data query requests internally, the plurality of data query requests are arranged in a request queue according to a generated sequence, and the process processes the data query requests according to the generated sequence to obtain data requested by the data query requests.

In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, embodiments of the present application provide a data query method, in which, if an electronic device sequentially generates a plurality of data query requests during running an application, the electronic device may filter invalid data query requests therein, and may adjust an order of remaining data query requests according to a priority rule, and then sequentially process the data query requests according to the adjusted order. Therefore, the data query speed can be improved, and the experience of the user is improved.

The application program run by the electronic device may include a single application program or may include a plurality of application programs. When the electronic device is running a single application, multiple data query requests may be generated from the application. When the electronic device is running multiple applications, the multiple data query requests generated may come from the multiple applications.

When the electronic equipment runs any application program, the application program can carry out cross-process communication between a foreground process and a background process. The mechanism of cross-process communication, foreground process and background process can refer to the related description above. The foreground process can realize the interaction between the electronic equipment and the outside, and the background process provides data query service for the foreground process.

In other embodiments, the data query method provided by the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to any application program that utilizes a single process to realize interaction between the electronic device and the outside world, and in the process of providing a data query service. Specifically, the single process may internally filter invalid data query requests, adjust the order of the data query requests according to the priority rule, and then obtain the data requested by the data query requests according to the adjusted order.

The embodiments of the present application are not limited to the related application programs, which may include but are not limited to: sports-like applications, smart device management-like applications, vehicle management-like applications, social-like applications, learning-like applications, shopping-like applications, and the like.

The sports application is sports auxiliary software suitable for electronic devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. The application is used to manage exercise health data for a user. The exercise health data may include the following two data types: 1, the exercise data comprises data related to user exercise such as exercise step number, exercise distance, exercise time, heat, exercise track, exercise type, exercise heart rate and the like; and 2, health data, including weight, heart rate, sleeping time, body fat, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen saturation and other data related to the physical health of the user.

In some embodiments, the athletic health data may be data collected by the electronic device. In this case, the exercise health data may be stored in a memory of the electronic device.

In other embodiments, the athletic health data may be data collected by other electronic devices, such as wearable devices (e.g., wristbands, smartwatches, AR glasses, etc.). In this case, the electronic device may establish a connection with another electronic device through bluetooth, a wireless communication technology, or another wireless communication method, and acquire the exercise health data acquired by the other electronic device.

In other embodiments, the athletic health data may also be stored on a server (e.g., virtual server, cloud server). In this case, the electronic device may obtain the athletic health data from the server.

3. The priority is set according to the screen state of the electronic equipment when the data query request is generated, and the priority of the data query request generated in the screen-on state can be higher than that of the data query request generated in the screen-off state. Thus, when the electronic equipment is in a bright screen state, the data can be inquired more quickly by the user.

As shown in fig. 5B, the user interface 310 may include: a first motion parameter bar 311, a second motion parameter bar 312, and a menu bar 313. Wherein:

the first exercise parameter column 311 may be used to show the present exercise data, such as exercise distance, exercise heat, exercise step number, etc.

The second athletic parameter bar 312 may be used to present recent athletic health data, such as athletic notes, heart rate, weight, etc.

The menu bar 313 includes a health icon 313A, a sports icon 313B, a device icon 313C, and a my icon 313D.

Among other things, the health icon 313A may be used to switch to a "health" user interface, which is the initial interface of the athletic health application, namely user interface 310.

The sports icon 313B may be used to switch to a "sports" user interface that may exhibit three sports modes (running outdoors, walking, cycling), which the user may select for sports.

Device icon 313C may be used to switch to a "device" user interface that may present other electronic devices, such as a bracelet, to which electronic device 100 has connected. The user can delete or connect the electronic equipment.

When the electronic device 100 displays the user interface 310, the present day athletic data in the first athletic parameter bar 311 and the recent athletic health data in the second athletic parameter bar 312 may be presented on the user interface 310.

The present motion data may be data collected by the electronic device 100, or may be data collected by other electronic devices, such as a user wearable device. The recent exercise health data may be data stored in the electronic device 100 or data stored on a server. For the source of the exercise health data, reference may be made to the foregoing description, and the description thereof is omitted here.

Furthermore, the electronic device 100 may detect a touch operation performed by the user to slide the user interface 310 up and down, and in response to the touch operation, the electronic device 100 may update or slide the content displayed on the user interface 310 to show more exercise health data.

As shown in fig. 5B, electronic device 100 may also detect a user operation by the user on motion icon 313B, in response to which electronic device 100 displays user interface 410 exemplarily shown in fig. 5C.

As shown in fig. 5C, motion options 411 are included in user interface 410. The sport options 411 include an outdoor run option 411A, a walk option 411B, and a ride option 411C. The user can select one of the motion options, and further select the corresponding motion mode to start the motion.

The athletic goal setting options 412 may be used, among other things, for the user to set goals for the exercise, such as distance, calories, time. Start motion control 413 may be used to turn on the outdoor running mode. Electronic device 100 may detect a user operation (e.g., a clicking operation) on start motion control 413 by the user, in response to which electronic device 100 initiates the outdoor running mode.

After entering the outdoor running mode, the electronic device 100 may acquire exercise health data of the user, such as exercise distance, exercise step number, exercise track, heart rate, and the like, by using the barometric sensor 180C, the acceleration sensor 180E, the bone conduction sensor 180M, and the like.

In other embodiments, in response to a user operation on start motion control 413 by the user, electronic device 100 may instruct the connected other electronic device, e.g., wearable device, to initiate an outdoor running mode, to begin collecting athletic health data for the user, such as number of athletic steps, calories burned, heart rate, and the like.

In addition, after entering the outdoor running mode, the electronic device 100 may also in some cases report the motion situation for the user by voice. For example, the electronic device 100 may broadcast the movement distance when the movement distance reaches an integer. When the user's heart rate is too high, electronic device 100 may broadcast the heart rate, prompting the user that the heart rate is too high. When the moving object is completed, the electronic device 100 reports the reached moving object.

As shown in fig. 5C, the electronic device may detect a user operation acting on the start motion control 411, in response to which the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 510 as exemplarily shown in fig. 5D.

As shown in fig. 5D, the user interface 510 includes a map display area 511, a data presentation area 512, a pause motion control 513, and the like.

As shown in fig. 5E, when electronic apparatus 100 does not detect a user operation applied to user interface 510 by the user for a period of time, or electronic apparatus 100 detects a user operation applied to a power switch key (not shown), in response to which electronic apparatus 100 may enter a screen-off state. The off-screen state means that the electronic device 100 stops supplying power to the display screen. However, even if the electronic device 100 is in the off-screen state, the "sports health" application is still running. At this time, the electronic device 100 may turn on the voice broadcasting function, and when the movement distance reaches an integer, the movement distance is voice-broadcasted.

Thereafter, the electronic device 100 may detect a user operation on a power switch key (not shown) or a screen by the user, and the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 610 in the unlocked state, i.e., the locked state, as shown in fig. 5F.

As shown in fig. 5F, the user interface 610 includes a locator icon 611, a slide unlock region 612. The navigation icon 611 is used to indicate that the electronic device 100 is acquiring the location information of the user in real time, and the slide unlocking area 612 is used to unlock the screen locking state of the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 may detect a sliding operation performed by the user on the sliding unlock region 612, and in response to the sliding operation, the electronic device 100 may verify the identity of the user and display the user interface 510 as shown in fig. 5G after the verification is passed, that is, display the user interface 510 before the screen is turned off.

As shown in fig. 5G, electronic device 100 may detect a user operation on pause motion control 513 by the user, in response to which pause motion control 513 is updated to end motion control 521 and continue motion control 522 as shown in fig. 5H.

Where end motion control 521 may be used to listen for user actions that trigger an end motion. Electronic device 100 may detect a user operation on end motion control 521, in response to which electronic device 100 ends the recording of the exercise health data. The continue motion control 522 may be used to listen for user actions that trigger a continue motion. Electronic device 100 may detect a user operation on continuation motion control 522, in response to which electronic device 100 continues to record the user's athletic health data.

As shown in FIG. 5H, electronic device 100 may detect a long press operation by the user on end motion control 521, in response to which electronic device 100 ends the recording of the motion and displays user interface 710 shown in FIG. 5I.

The user interface 710 includes: a sports parameter column 711 and a sports presentation area 712. The motion parameter field 711 includes a trajectory option 711A, a pace option 711B, a chart option 711C, and a detail option 711D.

The trajectory option 711A may be used to listen for user actions that trigger viewing of the motion trajectory. The electronic device may detect a user action on the trajectory option 711A, in response to which the motion presentation area 711 displays data related to the user's motion trajectory, such as motion time, average pace, heat.

Pace option 711B may be used to listen for user actions that trigger viewing of a sports pace. The electronic device may detect a user action on trajectory option 711B, in response to which motion show area 712 displays data related to the user's athletic pace, such as an average pace, a fastest pace.

Chart option 711C may be used to listen for user actions that trigger viewing of heart rate. The electronic device may detect a user operation on chart option 711C, in response to which the athletic presentation area 712 displays data related to the user's heart rate, such as an average heart rate, a maximum heart rate, a heart rate graph, and so forth.

Details option 711D may be used to listen for user actions that trigger viewing of the sports details. The electronic device may detect a user operation on the details option 711D, in response to which the motion presentation area 711 displays data related to the user's motion details, such as average pace frequency, average stride, average speed, and so forth.

The electronic device 100 may detect a quick touch operation performed by the user on the trajectory option 711A, the pace option 711B, and the chart option 711C in sequence, so that the motion display area 712 may sequentially display corresponding data. See fig. 5I, 5J, 5K specifically.

As shown in fig. 5I, underlining under the track option 711A indicates that the track option 711A is selected, and when the icon is selected, the motion display area 711 displays the motion track, the motion time, the average pace, the heat and other contents related to the motion track. A user operation of the pacing option 711B by the user may be received shortly after the electronic device 100 displays the user interface 710, and in response to the operation, the content in the motion presentation area 712 is updated to the content in the motion presentation area 712 shown in fig. 5J.

As shown in fig. 5J, underlining under the pace matching option 711B indicates that the pace matching option 711B is selected, and when the icon is selected, the sports presentation area 711 displays contents related to sports matching, such as average pace matching, fastest pace matching and the like. A short time after the electronic device 100 displays the user interface 710, a user operation of the chart option 711C by the user may be received, and in response to the operation, the content in the motion presentation area 712 is updated to the content in the motion presentation area 712 shown in fig. 5K.

As shown in fig. 5K, the user interface 710 displays a graph of heart rate during exercise, as well as data related to heart rate, such as average heart rate, maximum heart rate, etc.

It is understood that fig. 5A-5K are merely exemplary of user interfaces on the electronic device 100 and should not be construed as limiting embodiments of the present application.

In the process shown in fig. 5A-5K, the "sports health" application executed by electronic device 100 generates a plurality of data query requests. After the data query requests are successfully processed, the foreground process of the application program can acquire corresponding data and use the data to interact with the outside world. For example, the electronic device 100 displays the exercise time, pace, calorie, etc. data in the user interface 510 shown in fig. 5G, and displays the heart rate graph, etc. data in the user interface 710 shown in fig. 5K. When these data query requests are not processed, the foreground process of the application program will not acquire the corresponding data. For example, the electronic device 100 does not display the movement time, average pace, caloric count, fastest pace, etc. data in the user interface 710 shown in fig. 5I and 5J.

In the processes shown in fig. 5A to fig. 5K, the electronic device 100 may execute the data query method provided in the embodiment of the present application, and an implementation flow of the data query method will be described in detail below with reference to the examples in fig. 5A to fig. 5K.

The overall flow of the data query method in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to fig. 6.

As shown in fig. 6, the method includes:

s101, the electronic device 100 generates a plurality of data query requests.

In some embodiments, the plurality of data query requests generated by the electronic device 100 may come from a plurality of applications being run by the electronic device 100, such as: sports-type applications, smart device management-type applications, vehicle management-type applications, social-type applications, learning-type applications, shopping-type applications, and the like.

In other embodiments, the plurality of data query requests generated by electronic device 100 may come from an application program being run by electronic device 100, such as: a first application program.

In the following embodiments of the present application, the generated plurality of applications may be from a first application. In particular, the first application may be an "athletic health" application.

The data query request refers to an instruction initiated inside the electronic device 100 for querying data when the data needs to be acquired during the process of running the first application program by the electronic device 100.

Specifically, the data query request may be an instruction for requesting to query data, which is sent by a foreground process of the application to a background process, where the data is data required by interaction between the foreground process and the outside world. Data needed when foreground processes interact with the outside world may include, but is not limited to: 1, data directly presented on a user interface provided by an application, such as a motion trajectory, heat consumed, number of steps, etc., presented by a sports-class application. Intermediate data, such as heart rate data used by the sports-type application to show the heart rate graph, is shown.

In this embodiment of the application, when the electronic device 100 runs the first application, the data query request may be generated under the following several conditions:

the electronic device 100 generates a data query request in response to a received user operation. The user operation may include, for example, a user operation for switching the user interface in the first application, a user operation acting on a particular control in the user interface, and so forth.

The above examples in fig. 5A to 5B and 5H to 5K are taken as examples to explain:

referring to fig. 5A-5B, as shown in fig. 5A, when electronic device 100 detects a user operation on the "sports fitness" application by a user, a data query request Q1 is generated, displaying user interface 310 as shown in fig. 5B. The data query request Q1 is used to request to obtain data that can be presented in the user interface 310, including present exercise data and recent exercise health data that can be presented in the first exercise parameter column 311 and the second exercise parameter column 312 shown in fig. 5B, such as data of exercise step number, exercise time, exercise distance, heart rate, and the like. Data that can be presented by the electronic device 100 after sliding the user interface 311 up and down, such as sleep time, weight, etc., may also be included.

Referring to FIGS. 5H-5I, when electronic device 100 detects a user action on end motion control 521, as shown in FIG. 5H, a data query request Q5 is generated, displaying user interface 710, as shown in FIG. 5I. The data query request Q5 is used to request to obtain data that can be displayed in the motion display area 712 shown in fig. 5I, such as motion trajectory, motion time, average pace, heat and so on.

Referring to fig. 5I-5J, when the electronic device 100 detects a user action on the pacing option 711B, as shown in fig. 5I, a data query request Q6 is generated, displaying the user interface 710 as shown in fig. 5J. The data query request Q6 is used to request to obtain data that can be displayed in the sports display area 712 shown in fig. 5J, such as average pace, fastest pace, etc.

Referring to FIGS. 5J-5K, when electronic device 100 detects a user action on chart option 711C, as shown in FIG. 5J, a data query request Q7 is generated, displaying user interface 710 as shown in FIG. 5K. The data query request Q7 is used to request to obtain data, such as heart rate, which can be displayed in the exercise display area 712 shown in fig. 5K.

The data query requests generated by the electronic device in response to the received user operation may be the data query requests Q1, Q5, Q6, Q7 described above.

2, after the electronic device 100 starts a certain function of the first application, the first application periodically generates a data query request, and the data requested by the data query request is used for implementing the function.

Referring to fig. 5D, after the electronic device 100 enters the outdoor sport mode, the electronic device 100 may periodically generate a data query request Q2. The data query request Q2 may be used to request to obtain data presented in the data presentation area 512 shown in fig. 5D, such as exercise time, pace, heat, etc.

Referring to fig. 5E, the electronic device 100 is in a screen-off state. While the electronic device 100 is still operating in the outdoor sport mode, the electronic device 100 may periodically generate a data query request Q3 for a voice broadcast function. The data query request Q2 can be used to request to obtain data such as movement distance.

Referring to fig. 5F, the electronic device 100 is in a bright screen and locked state. While the electronic device 100 is still operating in the outdoor sport mode, the electronic device 100 may periodically generate a data query request Q4. The data query request Q4 may be used to request to obtain some data for background use, which is not shown on the interface, for evaluating the exercise condition of the user, such as exercise step number, heart rate, etc.

The data query requests periodically generated by the electronic device 100 may include the data query requests Q2, Q3, and Q4.

The plurality of data query requests generated by the electronic device 100 may include the data query requests Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7 described above.

In some embodiments, only one data query request may be generated correspondingly by one user interface, or one data query request may be generated correspondingly by a same user interface, a portion of the user interface displayed in the screen of the electronic device 100, and another data query request may be generated correspondingly by a portion of the user interface that can be displayed only by sliding up and down through the user action on the user interface, where the two data query requests may be generated simultaneously.

It is understood that the above-mentioned data query requests are only exemplary descriptions, and that more or fewer data query requests may be included in other embodiments of the present application.

Taking the time sequence shown in fig. 5A to 5K as an example, the electronic device 100 may generate the following data query requests in sequence: q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7. FIG. 7 illustrates an example of a foreground process generating data query requests Q1-Q7.

S102, the electronic device 100 adds a plurality of data query requests into a request queue according to the generated sequence.

The request queue refers to a queue in a thread pool existing in a background process. After the data query request enters the background process, the data query request is arranged in the request queue according to the generated sequence.

FIG. 7 illustrates an example of a request queue. As shown in FIG. 7, the data query requests Q1-Q7 generated by the foreground process may be arranged in the request queue according to the generated precedence order.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 may perform the subsequent steps when a new data query request enters the request queue, or the electronic device 100 may perform the subsequent steps periodically, where the period may be preset, for example, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, or the like, or the electronic device 100 may perform the subsequent steps when the number of data query requests reaches the first value.

S103, the electronic device 100 filters the invalid data query request.

The electronic device 100 filtering the invalid data query request may refer to the electronic device 100 deleting the invalid data query request. After the electronic device 100 deletes a portion of the data query request, a first data query request is obtained.

Invalid data query requests may include, but are not limited to:

1. a data query request with shorter page residence time;

specifically, the electronic device 100 may record the time that the page dwells, i.e., the interval between user operations acting on the user interface. The electronic device 100 may regard a data query request with a page dwell time of less than 50 milliseconds as an invalid data query request.

For example, within a short time after a user clicks a certain control on the user interface to query data, after clicking another control on the user interface, the electronic device 100 switches to another user interface, where the short time is less than 50 milliseconds, and after the user clicks the user interface last time, the generated data query request is triggered to be an invalid data query request.

In this way, the electronic device 100 may regard the user interface that is switched quickly by the user as an invalid interface, and cancel loading the data on the invalid interface to increase the loading speed of the data that the user wants to query.

Referring to fig. 5H-5I, assume that the interval between the user clicking the end motion control 521 and clicking the pace option 711B is less than 50 milliseconds, then the data query request Q5 is an invalid data query request. The motion presentation area 712 does not display data related to the motion trajectory.

Referring to fig. 5J-5K, assume that the interval from the user clicking the pace option 711B to the chart option 711C is less than 50 milliseconds, and the data query Q6 is an invalid data query. The sports presentation area 712 does not display data related to sports pacing.

The first operation mentioned in this embodiment of the present application may be an operation of the ending motion control 521 in the embodiment shown in fig. 5H, the first user interface may be the user interface 710 in the embodiment shown in fig. 5I, the second operation may be an operation of the pace matching option 711B in the embodiment shown in fig. 5I, the second user interface may be the user interface 710 in the embodiment shown in fig. 5J, and the second data query request may be the data query request Q5.

Alternatively, the first operation mentioned in this embodiment of the present application may be an operation for the pace matching option 711B in the embodiment shown in fig. 5I, the first user interface may be the user interface 710 in the embodiment shown in fig. 5J, the second operation may be an operation for the icon option 711C in the embodiment shown in fig. 5J, the second user interface may be the user interface 710 in the embodiment shown in fig. 5K, and the second data query request may be the data query request Q6.

The first time mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may be any one time less than 50 milliseconds.

FIG. 7 illustrates a process by which the electronic device 100 filters invalid data query requests. As shown in FIG. 7, a background process of the electronic device 100 deletes the data query requests Q5, Q6 from the request queue. The data query requests Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q7 are left in the request queue.

The partial data query requests mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may include the data query requests Q5, Q6 mentioned above, and the first data query request mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may include data query requests Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q7. The number of the first data query requests may be one or more, and is not limited herein.

2. The same data query request;

specifically, the electronic device 100 may delete any one of the same data query requests, where the deleted data query request is an invalid data query request.

For example, a user repeatedly clicks the same control on the user interface to request for querying a certain data, and due to repeated operations of the user, a plurality of identical data query requests are generated inside the electronic device 100, and any one of the plurality of identical data query requests is an invalid data query request.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may only retain one of the identical data query requests, and consider the other identical data query requests as invalid data query requests.

3. Data query requests generated by misoperation;

specifically, the electronic device receives the third operation, displays a third user interface, receives the fourth operation, displays a fourth user interface, and receives the fifth operation, and displays the third user interface. And the data requested by the third data query request is the data required by the fourth user interface, and the third data query request is the data query request generated by misoperation.

For example, after the user opens the main interface of the first application, another user interface of the first application is clicked due to misoperation, and a certain data query request is generated, and then the user clicks the "return" control to return to the main interface of the first application. Then, the data query request generated by the misoperation of the user is an invalid data query request.

In this way, the electronic device 100 can determine whether the data query request is an invalid data query request by checking the user interfaces appearing before and after the data query request is generated, thereby avoiding wasting the time for querying data due to misoperation of the user.

4. And generating a data query request with a large time.

Specifically, the electronic device 100 may regard a data query request with a generation time greater than a first time threshold as an invalid data query request, where the generation time may be a time from generation to filtering of the data query request, and the larger the generation time, the longer the data query request exists.

In this way, the electronic device 100 may delete the data query request generated at an earlier time, reduce redundancy of the request queue, and improve efficiency of data query.

S104, the electronic device 100 determines the priority of the data query request in the request queue.

The electronic device 100 determines the priority of the data query request according to the priority rule.

The priority rules may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:

1. the priority is determined according to the generation time of the data query request. The larger the generation time of the data query request, the lower the priority of the data query request.

In the embodiment of the present application, the data query request may be divided into a plurality of batches, and different batches correspond to different priorities. For example, the data query requests are divided into five batches according to the sequence of the generation time from large to small, and the priority of the five batches is gradually increased.

In this case, due to the continuous operation of the user, the later-appearing page may be the page that the user wants to refer to, and when the later-appearing data query request has higher priority, the data query request initiated on the later-appearing page is easier to be preferentially processed, so that the data query request is prevented from being processed only according to the appearance sequence.

2. The priority is determined according to the usage of the data requested by the data query request. The higher the degree to which the data requested by the data query request is perceived by the user, the higher the priority of the data query request.

The types of the data query request can be divided into page display, voice broadcast, background use, process processing and the like according to the data use.

The page display means that data obtained by query is requested to be displayed on a page, the data is directly displayed on the page, and a user can directly see the data through a screen of the electronic equipment.

The voice broadcast means that the data obtained by inquiring is requested to be used for voice broadcast, and the user can obtain the data through the voice prompt of the electronic equipment.

Background usage refers to requesting the queried data for background usage, which is not presented on the page.

The process processing means that the data obtained by inquiring is requested to be used for further processing, and the electronic equipment displays the data obtained by further processing.

It is understood that, in the request feature of data application, the type of the data query request is not limited to the above-mentioned page display, voice broadcast, background use, and process processing, and is not limited herein.

3. The priority is set according to the screen state of the electronic device 100 at the time of the data query request generation. The speed of inquiring data in the bright screen state is higher than that in the off screen state.

Specifically, the screen states of the electronic device 100 include: and lightening and unlocking the screen, lightening and locking the screen, and extinguishing the screen. The priority of the data query request corresponding to the screen-on and unlocking is higher than that of the data query request corresponding to the screen-on and locking, and the priority of the data query request corresponding to the screen-on and locking is higher than that of the data query request corresponding to the screen-off.

In some embodiments, not limited to the exemplary list of several priority rules, the electronic device 100 may set the priority of each data query request by other priority rules. For example, the priority of each data query request may also be set according to the state of the application, that is, the priority of the data query request may be set by using the characteristic of whether the screen displays the application when the application is running. At this time, the type of the data query request may be: foreground running and background running. The foreground operation refers to displaying a user interface for running the application on the screen of the electronic device 100 when the application is running, and the background operation refers to not displaying the user interface for running the application on the screen of the electronic device 100 when the application is running.

In other embodiments, the priority of data query requests may be set in conjunction with the state of the application and the screen. At this time, the type of the data query request may be: the method comprises the steps of brightening the screen and unlocking the foreground to operate, brightening the screen and unlocking the background to operate, brightening the screen and locking the foreground to operate, brightening the screen and locking the background to operate, turning off the foreground to operate, and turning off the background to operate.

In summary, the priority rule may determine the priority of the data query request according to the following three characteristics: generation time, data usage, screen status.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may determine characteristics of the data query request from a data structure of the data query request. The data structure of the data query request may be represented as follows:

PublicclassDataQueryContext{

privateDataQueryParameters dataQueryParameters；

private String dataGeneratedTime；

private int screenStatus；

private int dataUsageLevel；

}

the dataQueryParameters represent necessary parameters of the data query request, the datageneredtime represents the generation time of the data query request, the screenStatus represents the screen state of the data query request, and the dataUsageLevel represents the data use of the data query request.

It should be understood that the features of the data query request illustrated in the embodiment of the present application are merely exemplary, and do not constitute a limitation on the priority setting. In other embodiments of the present application, the data query request may also adopt different features in the above embodiments, or replace the above features with other described words.

In one particular example, the priority of the data query request may be quantified. For example, different priorities may be defined by scores, and the total score may be set to 5, with higher scores giving higher priority to data query requests. Specifically, the electronic device 100 may determine the priority of each data query request in the first data query request according to the following formula:

Priority＝C₁F₁+C₂F₂+C₃F₃+…+C_nF_n

wherein Priority represents the Priority of the data query request.

F_iThe score corresponding to the ith characteristic in the data query request is represented, and the characteristic can be generation time, data application, screen state and the like. Wherein i is 1,2,3 …, n. n is the number of predetermined features.

C_i＝1。

for example, a data query request may correspond to the following features: generation time, data usage, screen status. In this case, the data query requests can be classified according to different characteristics, with a priority score corresponding to each class.

Specifically, when the data query requests are classified according to the generation time, among the plurality of data query requests arranged in the order of the generation time from the largest, the priority score of the first 20% of the data query requests is 1, the priority score of the 20% -40% of the data query requests is 2, the priority score of the 40% -60% of the data query requests is 3, the priority score of the 60% -80% of the data query requests is 4, and the priority score of the 80% -100% of the data query requests is 5.

When the data query requests are classified according to data use, when the generated data are used for page display, the priority score of the data query request corresponding to the data is 4, when the generated data are used for voice broadcasting, the priority score of the data query request corresponding to the data are 3, when the generated data are used for background use, the priority score of the data query request corresponding to the data are 2, and when the generated data are used for process processing, the priority score of the data query request corresponding to the data are 1.

When the data query requests are classified according to the screen state, the priority score of the data query request generated when the electronic device 100 is in the bright-screen and unlocked state is 5, the priority score of the data query request generated when the electronic device 100 is in the bright-screen and locked state is 3, and the priority score of the data query request generated when the electronic device 100 is in the off-screen state is 1.

Further, the greater the weight a feature has in the priority of a data query request, the greater the degree of influence of the feature on the priority. Specifically, the feature of the generation time may be 30% in the priority of the data query request, the feature of the data usage may be 20% in the priority of the data query request, and the feature of the screen status may be 50% in the priority of the data query request.

Table 1 shows an example of the relationship of the features of the data query request to the scores.

TABLE 1

Table 2 shows the corresponding scores of the data query requests Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q7 under different characteristics.

TABLE 2

Then, the priority of the data query requests Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q7 is calculated as follows:

Priority Q1＝1*30％+4*20％+5*50％＝3.6

Priority Q2＝2*30％+4*20％+5*50％＝3.9

Priority Q3＝3*30％+3*20％+1*50％＝2.0

Priority Q4＝4*30％+2*20％+3*50％＝3.1

Priority Q7＝5*30％+1*20％+5*50％＝4.2

it is to be understood that the priority weights occupied by the different features are not limited to the values in the above examples, and in other embodiments of the present application, the priority weights occupied by the different features may also be other values. For example, the priority weight may be only 0 or 1, and the electronic device 100 determines the priority of the data query request only with a certain characteristic. The scores for different features may be other values, and are not limited herein.

S105, the electronic device 100 adjusts the order of the data query requests in the request queue according to the priority of the data query requests.

Specifically, the background process of the electronic device 100 may rank the data query requests with high priority at the front end of the request queue and rank the data query requests with low priority at the back end of the request queue in order from high priority to low priority. That is, the higher the priority, the earlier the corresponding data query request.

As shown in FIG. 7, the data query requests Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q7 are data query requests Q7, Q2, Q1, Q4 and Q3 in the order of the adjusted priorities from high to low.

It will be appreciated that filtering invalid data query requests, prioritizing the data query requests, and reordering the data query requests are two operations that are optional.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may perform only the operation in S103, and not the operations in S104 and S105.

In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may perform only the operations in S104 and S105, and not the operation in S103.

In other implementations, the electronic device 100 may perform the operations in S103, S104, and S105 in order.

S106, the electronic device 100 sequentially processes the data query requests in the request queue to obtain the data requested by the data query requests.

The processing refers to that the background process inquires the data requested by the data inquiry request and returns the obtained data to the foreground process.

Specifically, the background process may obtain data from a memory of the electronic device 100, or may establish a connection with another electronic device or a server to obtain required data. Reference may be made to the foregoing with particular regard to the acquisition of data.

As shown in fig. 7, the electronic device 100 processes the data query requests Q7, Q2, Q1, Q4, and Q3 in the order, that is, the background process queries the data query requests Q7, Q2, Q1, Q4, and Q3 in sequence to request the queried data.

S107, the electronic device 100 processes the acquired data.

Wherein the processing may include one or more of: displaying the data, voice broadcasting the data, converting the data into a graph, calculating the data or storing the data.

Specifically, when the data acquired by the electronic device 100 is data requested by a data query request generated on a user interface where a user currently stays, the processing may be that the electronic device 100 displays the acquired data on the user interface where the user currently stays, may also refer to that the electronic device 100 broadcasts the acquired data by using a speaker, may also refer to that the electronic device 100 uses the acquired data for background use, performs calculation processing on the data, and does not directly display the data on the user interface, or refers to that the data is further processed, changes an expression form of the data, and displays the processed data on the user interface, for example, the acquired heart rate data is changed into a heart rate graph and is displayed on the user interface.

When the data acquired by the electronic device 100 is not the data requested by the data query request generated on the user interface where the current user stays, the processing may refer to that the electronic device 100 stores the acquired data, and recalls the data when needed by the foreground process of the electronic device 100.

For example, in the user interface 710 where the user finally stays in fig. 5K, after the electronic device 100 processes the data query Q7, the heart rate data during the exercise of the user is obtained, and then the heart rate data is further processed and displayed on the user interface 710 in the form of a heart rate graph. After the electronic device 100 processes the data query request Q2, the data of the user, such as the movement distance, the movement heat, the pace, etc., are obtained, and the electronic device 100 caches the data and recalls the data when needed next time.

For a user, when the method provided by the embodiment of the application is used for querying data, the data loading speed on an application program interface is obviously increased, the time for the user to wait for data loading is shortened, and even if the user continuously triggers and generates a plurality of data query requests, the loading speed of the current user interface where the user stays is not obviously slowed down along with the increase of the number of the data query requests.

In summary, the data query method provided in the embodiment of the present application can filter invalid data query requests, dynamically adjust the processing sequence of the data query requests according to the operation of the user on the electronic device, the screen state of the electronic device, and the use of the query data, improve the speed of data query, reduce the resource waste in the data query process, and improve the loading speed of data in the application program running process.

The following describes a technical effect of the data query method provided by the embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 8.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a contextual comparison of optimizing a data query using the data query method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8, the loading speeds before and after optimization respectively refer to the time taken by the foreground process to initiate a data query request and return data to the background process when the data query method provided by the embodiment of the present application is not used or used. It can be seen that the loading speed of the optimized home page is obviously faster than that before optimization, and when a user switches pages quickly, the loading speed of the optimized page is also obviously faster than that before optimization.
