Detailed Description

It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second", etc. in this application are used to distinguish different objects, and are not used to describe a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or modules is not limited to only those steps or modules listed, but rather, some embodiments may include other steps or modules not listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

An embodiment of the present application provides an application starting method, an application starting apparatus, a storage medium, and an electronic device, where an execution main body of the application starting method may be the application starting apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application, or the electronic device integrated with the application starting apparatus, where the application starting apparatus may be implemented in a hardware or software manner. The electronic device may be a device which is equipped with a processor and has application starting capability, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a palm computer, a notebook computer, and the like.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an application starting method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the flowchart may include:

101. and determining the target application needing to be loaded.

The target application is an application which needs to be loaded in advance.

For example, assuming that the electronic device predicts that the user wants to use application a1, the electronic device may determine application a1 as the target application that needs to be loaded.

For another example, when the electronic device starts a corresponding application, such as a camera application, some applications may be cleaned up, and then when the application exits the applications, such as the camera application, the electronic device may determine the applications that are cleaned up when the applications are started, such as the camera application, as target applications that need to be loaded.

For another example, when the memory of the electronic device is insufficient, the electronic device may automatically clean some background applications, and the electronic device may determine the cleaned applications as target applications.

For another example, it is assumed that when the electronic device switches wifi of a connection due to a change of a location, the electronic device may determine an application corresponding to the current location as a target application. For example, the current location is an office, then the electronic device may determine some office applications as target applications.

102. And loading the target application through the virtual screen.

The virtual screen can be created by an electronic device with a function of creating the virtual screen. The virtual screen is a virtual component independent from the physical screen, the virtual screen is invisible to the user, the virtual screen can be understood as a piece of memory for loading the target application, and the application interface of the target application is not displayed in the physical screen. The size of the virtual screen may be the same as the size of the physical screen. The physical screen is visible to a user, which is part of the electronic device. The electronic device can realize human-computer interaction, information display and the like through the entity screen.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, assuming that the target application is application a1, the electronic device loads application a1 through the virtual screen. Specifically, the electronic device loads resources required to be loaded when the application a1 runs through the virtual screen, such as application processes (including a main process, a service process, and the like) of the application a1, application start animations, an advertisement interface, an application initial interface, an application secondary interface, and the like.

103. And after the target application is loaded, switching the target application to the background of the entity screen.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, assuming that the target application is application a1, after application a1 is loaded, the electronic device switches application a1 to the background of the entity screen. That is, application a1 is taken as one of the background applications of the entity screen, and thus application a1 is normally managed by the background management module.

The background management module may include a clean-up module and a freeze module. When the memory is insufficient, the cleaning module will clean the background application, and then after the electronic device switches the application a1 to the background of the physical screen, the application a1 is also normally controlled by the cleaning module. And an application normally loaded on the physical screen is frozen by the freezing module after falling back to the background of the physical screen, then the application a1 is also normally controlled by the freezing module after the electronic device switches the application a1 to the background of the physical screen.

In this embodiment, when an application is loaded to a corresponding specified application interface, it is determined that the application is loaded completely. The specific application interface to which the application is loaded determines that the application loading is completed, and the setting can be carried out according to actual conditions. For example, an initial interface loaded to the application may be set to determine that the application loading is complete. The application interface loaded to the last time the application was closed (including background application cleaning and user active exit) may also be set to determine that the application loading is complete.

It is understood that the electronic device may also continue to load other target applications, such as the application a2, A3, a4, etc., through the virtual screen in the above manner, and switch the other target applications to the background of the physical screen after the other target applications are loaded.

104. And responding to a starting instruction aiming at the target application, and switching the target application from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen.

The starting instruction for the target application may be triggered by a user, may be triggered by pulling up of another application, and may also be triggered by another manner, which is not limited specifically here.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, assuming that the target application is application a1, when the user clicks the application icon of application a1 displayed on the desktop of the electronic device, the electronic device receives a start instruction for application a 1. In response to the launch instruction for app a1, the electronic device may switch app a1 from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen.

For another example, assuming that the target application is application a1, which can be pulled by application a2, when it is detected that application a2 pulls application a1, the electronic device receives a start instruction for application a 1. In response to the launch instruction for app a1, the electronic device may switch app a1 from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen.

In the embodiment, the target application is loaded on the virtual screen in advance, and the target application is switched to the background of the entity screen after the target application is loaded, so that when a starting instruction for the target application is received, the target application is directly switched to the foreground of the entity screen from the background of the entity screen, the target application does not need to be loaded on the entity screen, time consumption for loading the target application on the entity screen is further avoided, and the starting efficiency of the application is improved.

In an optional embodiment, loading the target application through the virtual screen includes:

(1) creating a blank image;

(2) taking the blank image as a surface object of the virtual screen;

(3) the target application is loaded through the surface object.

A blank image (empty image) is an image having only a size and no content. Wherein the size of the blank image may be the same as the size of the virtual screen.

The first time the application is started, also called cold start, a start-up interface is used for the start-up animation. When the application is returned to a background, the screen capture of the last interface of the application is carried out, when the application is started by a user next time, the screen capture of the last interface is also called hot start, the screen capture of the last interface is used as a starting animation, and if the screen capture is not carried out, the screen flashing phenomenon can occur in the starting animation during the hot start.

In this embodiment, in order to avoid the black screen flashing phenomenon when the subsequent application is hot-started, the electronic device uses a blank image (empty image) as a surface object (surface) of the virtual screen, so that when the target application is loaded through the surface object, drawing a corresponding application interface of the target application (only if the surface exists on the screen, the corresponding interface of the application can be normally drawn on the screen, and only if the corresponding interface of the application is drawn on the screen, screen capture of the corresponding interface of the application can be subsequently obtained), and on the premise that the virtual screen is not visible, when the target application is switched to a background of the solid screen, screen capture of the last interface of the target application can be normally obtained, and the black screen phenomenon when the subsequent application is hot-started can be avoided.

In an optional embodiment, the application starting method further includes:

after the target application is loaded, acquiring an interface image of the target application;

displaying an interface image on the entity screen in the process of switching the target application from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen.

It can be understood that, taking the target application as application a1 as an example, to avoid the phenomenon of flashing black screen, after application a1 is loaded, the electronic device performs screen capture on an application interface after application a1 is loaded (assuming that when application a1 is loaded to an initial interface, application a1 is loaded completely, and application a1 is loaded completely, the application interface is an initial interface), so as to obtain a corresponding interface image, and the electronic device switches application a1 to the background of the entity screen. When receiving a start instruction for the application A1, in response to the start instruction for the application A1, the electronic device switches the application A1 from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen, and displays the interface image on the entity screen in the process of switching the application A1 from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen, so that the phenomenon of black flashing is avoided.

In an optional embodiment, before determining the target application that needs to be loaded, the method further includes:

when the target application is cleaned, recording an application interface when the target application is cleaned;

loading a target application through a virtual screen, comprising:

loading an application interface through a virtual screen;

the application starting method further comprises the following steps:

and displaying an application interface on the entity screen in the process of switching the target application from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen.

Considering that some applications may be cleaned up due to insufficient memory, but the applications may be used subsequently by the user, so as to bring a better use feeling to the user, when the applications are cleaned up, the electronic device may record the application interface when the applications are cleaned up, such as the last application interface before the applications are cleaned up, and when the applications are loaded next time, the application interface when the applications are cleaned up may be directly loaded.

For example, assuming that application a1 was switched to the background of the entity screen while application B1 was displayed and the cleaning module cleaned application a1, the electronic device may record application B1. When the application a1 is determined to be the target application, the electronic device may load the application interface B1 of the application a1 through the virtual screen, so that when receiving a start instruction for the application a1, the electronic device switches the application a1 from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen in response to the start instruction, and displays the application interface B1 on the entity screen in the process of switching the application a1 from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen. In other words, app a1 is switched from the background of the physical screen to the foreground of the physical screen, so that app interface B1 is displayed on the physical screen.

In an optional embodiment, after the target application is loaded, switching the target application to the background of the entity screen includes:

(1) after the target application is loaded, switching the target application to a background of the virtual screen;

(2) and switching the target application from the background of the virtual screen to the background of the entity screen.

In this embodiment, after the target application is loaded, the electronic device switches the target application to the background of the virtual screen first, and then switches the target application from the background of the virtual screen to the background of the physical screen.

In an optional embodiment, after the target application is loaded, switching the target application to the background of the virtual screen includes:

and after the target application is loaded, loading a preset interface through the virtual screen to switch the target application to the background of the virtual screen.

In this embodiment, after the target application is loaded, the electronic device may load a preset interface through the virtual screen, so as to switch the target application to the background of the virtual screen. The preset interface can be preset in the electronic equipment by a user. For example, the preset interface may be a virtual desktop created by the user.

In an optional embodiment, the preset interface may also be an application interface of a certain preset application, and then, after the target application is loaded, the electronic device may load the preset interface of the preset application through the virtual screen, so as to switch the target application to the background of the virtual screen. The preset application can be constructed in advance by a user and is built in the electronic equipment. The preset application can only comprise a preset interface, and the preset interface can be an interface with only size and no content, so that the speed of loading the preset interface by the electronic equipment through the virtual screen can be increased, and the speed of switching the target application to the background of the virtual screen can be increased. The preset interface may have the same size as the virtual screen.

It can be understood that, assuming that the application interface of the application a1 is displayed on the screen, when the application interface of the application a2 is loaded through the screen, the electronic device will fall back the application a1 to the background of the screen, and therefore, the electronic device can also switch the application a1 to the background of the virtual screen in this way.

In an optional embodiment, before loading the target application through the virtual screen, the method further includes:

determining the loading time length of a target application;

after the target application is loaded on the virtual screen, the method further comprises the following steps:

and when the accumulated time for loading the target application reaches the loading time, determining that the target application is loaded completely.

And the accumulated duration of the loading target application is the time between the time of starting loading the target application and the current time. For example, assuming that the time for starting to load the target application is 20 minutes and 0 seconds at 10 months and 1 day of 2022 years, and the current time is 21 minutes and 0 seconds at 10 months and 1 day of 2022 years, the cumulative time period for loading the target application is 1 minute.

In this embodiment, different applications may be preloaded, the time duration required from the start of loading to the completion of loading of the different applications may be counted, and the loading time duration of the different applications may be set based on the time duration. The loading time length of a certain application can be greater than or equal to the time length from the start of loading to the completion of loading of the application. For example, assuming that the time required for the application a1 to complete from the start of loading is 10 seconds, the loading time for the application a1 may be 10 seconds, 11 seconds, 15 seconds, and so on.

For example, assuming that the target application is application a1 and the loading time of application a1 is 11 seconds, the electronic device determines that the loading of application a1 is completed when the cumulative time for loading application a1 reaches 11 seconds.

In an optional embodiment, in response to a start instruction for the target application, switching the target application from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen includes:

(1) determining an available display window size of the entity screen in response to a launch instruction for the target application;

(2) and switching the target application from the background of the entity screen to the foreground of the entity screen according to the size of the available display window.

It will be appreciated that since some other objects need to be displayed on the physical screen, such as a status bar, a battery identifier, a signal identifier, a time, etc. are displayed in the status bar. And the status bar is not displayed on the virtual screen, so that even if the virtual screen and the physical screen are the same in size, the application window of the target application loaded on the virtual screen is not adapted to the physical screen, and then the electronic device can respond to a starting instruction for the target application to determine the size of the available display window of the physical screen, such as the size of the display window except the status bar, and then the electronic device adjusts the size of the application window of the target application according to the size of the available display window, so that the application window of the target application is adapted to the physical screen, and then switches the target application after the application window is adjusted from the background of the physical screen to the foreground of the physical screen.

In an optional embodiment, the application starting method further includes:

in the process of loading the target application through the virtual screen, stopping a prompt function of the target application;

after the target application is loaded and completed, the target application is switched to the background of the entity screen, the method further comprises the following steps:

enabling the prompt functionality of the target application.

Considering that the loading of the target application through the virtual screen is an invisible process, if corresponding prompts, such as a voice prompt, a notification prompt, and the like, are performed during the loading of the target application through the virtual screen, normal use of the electronic device by the user may be affected, and therefore, in this embodiment, during the loading of the target application through the virtual screen, the electronic device may disable the prompt function of the target application. In consideration of that the normal background application can also perform corresponding prompting, when the target application is switched to the background of the entity screen, so that the target application becomes one of the background applications of the entity screen, the electronic device can enable the prompting function of the target application, so that the normal prompting functions, such as notification of a notification bar, Toast prompting, and the like, can be realized.

In an optional embodiment, the application starting method further includes:

in the process of loading the target application through the virtual screen, when a screen rotation instruction is received, the target application is kept loaded in the initial loading direction of the target application.

In order to avoid the influence of the user rotating the physical screen on the loading of the target application, in the embodiment, in the process of loading the target application on the virtual screen, even if the screen rotation instruction is received, the electronic device still keeps loading the target application in the initial loading direction of the target application.

For example, assuming that the electronic device loads the target application in a first loading direction, wherein the first loading direction is kept corresponding to the vertical screen direction of the solid screen, and assuming that the user rotates the solid screen to make the solid screen display in a horizontal screen direction, at this time, the electronic device does not control the loading direction of the target application to correspond to the horizontal screen direction of the solid screen, if the electronic device does not load the target application in a second loading direction corresponding to the horizontal screen direction of the solid screen, but still loads the target application in the first loading direction.

In an optional embodiment, the application starting method further includes:

in the process of loading the target application through the virtual screen, if a starting instruction for the target application is received, the virtual screen is stopped from loading the target application, and the target application is loaded through the entity screen.

In this embodiment, in the process of loading the target application through the virtual screen, if the user starts the target application, the electronic device may stop loading the target application through the virtual screen, and cold start the target application through the physical screen, thereby avoiding repeatedly loading the target application.

Specifically, in the process of loading the target application through the virtual screen, if a start instruction for the target application is received, the electronic device stops loading the target application through the virtual screen, clears the loaded content, and loads the target application through the entity screen.

In an optional embodiment, determining a target application that needs to be loaded includes:

acquiring user operation information;

and determining the target application needing to be loaded according to the user operation information.

The user operation information comprises some information generated by the user operating the electronic equipment.

For example, assuming that the user operates to start the application a1, and to ensure the normal running of the application a1, the electronic device clears the background applications a2 and A3, and the user operates to exit the application a1 after using the application a1 for a while, all the information generated by this process may be used as the user operation information. And through the above operation information, the electronic device may determine that the applications a2 and A3 are cleaned up because the user operates the start application a1, and then, after the user operates to exit the application a1, the electronic device may determine the applications a2 and A3 as target applications that need to be loaded.

For another example, assuming that the user has started the application a1 at each of 6/month and 10/11/12/13/2022, all information generated by this process may be used as the user operation information. Through the operation information, the electronic device can determine that the user starts the application a1 every 10 hours, and then before 10 hours every day, the electronic device can determine the application a1 as a target application that needs to be loaded, so as to load the application a1 in advance, and further, when a start instruction for the application a1 is received, the application a1 can be started quickly.

a virtual screen is created.

It can be understood that the loading of the application is usually dependent on the screen, and in order to make the loading process invisible, in this embodiment, the electronic device first creates a virtual screen, and then loads the target application through the virtual screen.

It should be noted that the virtual screen may be created before the target application that needs to be loaded is determined, the virtual screen may be created while the target application that needs to be loaded is determined, or the virtual screen may be created after the target application that needs to be loaded is determined, which is not limited herein.

In an alternative embodiment, when there are multiple target applications, the electronic device may create multiple virtual screens and load each target application through each virtual screen. Wherein the number of virtual screens is the same as the number of target applications.

In an optional embodiment, when there are multiple target applications, the electronic device may create multiple virtual screens, and load the corresponding target applications through the corresponding virtual screens, respectively. Wherein the number of virtual screens is less than the number of target applications.

For example, assuming that the target application includes applications a1, a2, and A3, the virtual screen includes virtual screens S1 and S2, the electronic device may sequentially load applications a1 and a2 through the virtual screen S1, and simultaneously load application A3 through the virtual screen S2. The electronic device may also load the application a1 and the application a2 through the virtual screens S1 and S2, respectively, and load the application A3 through the virtual screen S2 after one of the applications, for example, the application a2, is loaded first.

In an alternative embodiment, when there are multiple target applications, the electronic device may create a virtual screen and load each target application in turn through the virtual screen.

In an optional embodiment, after the target application is loaded and then switched to the background of the entity screen, the method further includes:

the virtual screen is removed.

It can be appreciated that the electronic device can remove the virtual screen after switching the target application to the background of the physical screen.

In some embodiments, the virtual screen may be removed after a target application is completely loaded and switched to the background of the physical screen, or the virtual screen may be removed when an application is not loaded on the virtual screen within a preset time period.
