Description

Application starting method and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to an application starting method and an electronic device.

Background

A space, such as a privacy space, may be created on the electronic device that is completely independent of the original main space (or referred to as the main space). The user can put applications that are not desired to be seen by others into the privacy space, protecting the privacy of the applications.

Currently, when a user opens an application in a privacy space of an electronic device, a setting interface of a main space of the electronic device is generally required to be opened first. The user then clicks on the privacy option on the settings interface. The electronic device displays an interface including a privacy space option in response to a click operation of the privacy option. The user then clicks on the privacy space option. And the electronic equipment responds to clicking operation of the privacy space option to display a privacy space unlocking interface. And after the user inputs the password in the password verification interface, the desktop of the privacy space on the electronic equipment is displayed when the electronic equipment verifies that the password is correct, so that the user can start the application in the privacy space based on the desktop of the privacy space.

However, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems in the prior art: the starting process of the application in the privacy space is complicated, resulting in a long time required for starting the application in the privacy space.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above, the present application provides an application starting method and an electronic device, which shorten the time required for starting the application in the privacy space.

In a first aspect, the present application provides an application starting method, applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device includes a main space and a privacy space; the main space and the privacy space are two independent systems. The privacy space includes at least one application. When the electronic equipment receives a first triggering operation of a user on a first interface, the electronic equipment can respond to the first triggering operation to display at least one preset graph in a main space of the electronic equipment. Wherein each preset graphic in the at least one preset graphic corresponds to an application in the privacy space of the electronic device. The first interface is an interface in the main space;

when the electronic equipment receives a second triggering operation of a user on a target graph in at least one preset graph, responding to the second triggering operation, and sending an identification of the target graph to the privacy space by the main space;

when the privacy space receives the identification of the target graph, displaying a privacy space unlocking interface; the privacy space unlocking interface is used for indicating a user to input an unlocking password of the privacy space;

And when the unlocking password input by the user is correct, the electronic equipment starts the target application corresponding to the identification of the target graph in the privacy space.

In the application, the preset graph displayed in the main space is equivalent to the quick access entry of the application in the privacy space, the user can directly trigger the electronic equipment to display the unlocking interface of the privacy space through the preset graph, and after the correct unlocking password is input, the application in the privacy space on the electronic equipment can be directly started, so that the starting step of the application in the privacy space is simplified, the time required for starting the application in the privacy space is effectively shortened, and the user experience can be effectively improved. In addition, before starting the application in the privacy space corresponding to the preset graph, the electronic equipment still needs to carry out password verification, so that the privacy of the application in the privacy space and the use safety of the application are ensured, and the privacy disclosure of the user is avoided.

For example, the first triggering operation may be a first gesture input by the user at the first interface. The first interface may be a desktop within the main space.

In one possible design, the electronic device may also provide a shortcut to exit applications in the privacy space in order to increase the efficiency of exiting applications in the privacy space of the electronic device. Specifically, after the target application is started, when the electronic device receives a third trigger operation, it indicates that the user does not want to continue using the electronic device, and the electronic device may perform a screen-off operation in response to the third trigger operation, and switch from the privacy space to the main space.

The third triggering operation is used for triggering the electronic equipment to stop the screen.

In one possible design, it is considered that the user has a frequently used application, and the probability that the user starts the frequently used application is high. Therefore, the application in the privacy space corresponding to the preset graphic displayed in the main space may be a common application. Among other things, the common application in the privacy space may be determined in two ways.

In one implementation, the electronic device displays a second interface of the privacy space. The second interface includes at least one application add control. Each application adding control in the at least one application control is used for configuring an application corresponding to the preset graph; the at least one application adding control corresponds to the at least one preset graph one by one;

when a user configures a common application, responding to a fourth triggering operation of adding a control to one application by the user, and displaying an application list by the electronic equipment, wherein the application list comprises the identification of at least one application in the privacy space;

when the electronic equipment receives a selection operation of the identification of the first application in the application list by a user, the first application is indicated to be the commonly used application selected by the user.

And responding to the selection operation, the electronic equipment displays the identification of the first application on the application adding control, and stores the corresponding relation between the identification of the first application and the identification of the preset graph corresponding to the application adding control.

In this implementation manner, the second interface further includes first prompt information, where the first prompt information is used to indicate a correspondence between the application adding control and the preset graphic, so that a user can intuitively obtain a specific application that can be started by the preset graphic displayed in the main space, so that the electronic device can quickly and accurately start the application in the privacy space, and user satisfaction is improved.

In another implementation manner, the electronic device may count the total number of uses of each second application in the first preset time every first preset time; the second application is an application within the privacy space.

Selecting a preset number of common applications from the second applications according to the order of the total times of use from high to low; wherein the preset number is the same as the number of preset patterns in the at least one preset pattern.

For each of the preset number of common applications, determining an identification of a preset graphic corresponding to the identification of the common application, that is, one common application corresponds to one preset graphic.

In the application, when the electronic equipment automatically determines the common application in the privacy space, the determined common application is determined once every a first preset time, so that the determined common application is matched with the application use requirement of the user nearest to the user, the user can quickly start the required application through the preset graph, and the use satisfaction degree of the user is improved.

In one possible design manner, when the second trigger operation is received, in response to the second trigger operation, the electronic device may send, not only the identifier of the target graphic to the privacy space of the electronic device, but also the start mode identifier to the privacy space of the electronic device, so that the privacy space of the electronic device may determine a manner in which the user starts the application in the privacy space.

Correspondingly, when the unlocking password input by the user is correct and the starting mode identifier is a preset shortcut mode identifier, the electronic equipment can directly start the target application corresponding to the identifier of the target graph in the privacy space by indicating that the user is starting the application in the privacy space through the shortcut, so that the rapid starting of the target application is realized.

In one possible design, the electronic device may also set the screen of the electronic device to a screen saver mode, i.e. activate the screen saver function. The visual angle range of the screen corresponding to the screen protection mode is smaller than the preset visual angle range.

The preset visual angle range may be a visual angle range of a screen corresponding to a normal mode of the screen of the electronic device, for example.

In the application, after the screen saver function on the electronic equipment is started, the user can only see the content displayed on the screen of the electronic equipment from certain angles, and can not see the content displayed on the screen of the electronic equipment from other angles, so that the privacy of the user is protected.

In one case, when the unlocking password input by the user is correct, the electronic device can set the screen of the electronic device to the screen protection mode, so that other users are prevented from seeing the application in the privacy space, and the privacy of the user is protected.

In another case, the electronic device may display a third interface; the third interface includes a screen saver function configuration switch.

In response to a user's turn-on operation of the screen saver function configuration switch, the electronic device may set the screen of the electronic device to the screen saver mode described above, that is, when the user does not want other users to see the content displayed on the screen of the electronic device, the screen saver mode of the screen of the electronic device may be turned on, thereby preventing other users from seeing the application in the privacy space and protecting the privacy of the user.

In a second aspect, the present application provides an electronic device comprising a main space, a privacy space, a display screen, a memory, and one or more processors; the display screen, the memory and the processor are coupled; the display screen is used for displaying an interface in the main space or the privacy space, and the memory is used for storing computer program codes, and the computer program codes comprise computer instructions; the computer instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform the application launch method as described in the first aspect and any one of its possible designs.

In a third aspect, the present application provides a computer readable storage medium comprising computer instructions which, when run on an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform the application launch method of the first aspect and any one of its possible designs.

In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a computer program product which, when run on an electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform the application launch method of the first aspect and any one of its possible designs.

Detailed Description

The terms "first" and "second" are used below for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature. In the description of the present embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more.

In some embodiments, if a user wants to launch an application within the privacy space on an electronic device while the electronic device is in the main space, it typically requires several steps through the setup interface-privacy option-privacy space option-password authentication interface-privacy space-application. Specifically, first, the user can click on the setting application 10 on the desktop 101 in the main space as shown in fig. 1. The electronic device may display a setup interface 102 within the main space as shown in fig. 1 in response to a click operation of the setup application 10. The settings interface 102 includes privacy options 11. The user may then click on the privacy option 11. The electronic device may display a privacy interface 103 as shown in fig. 1 in response to a user clicking on the privacy option 11. The privacy interface 102 includes privacy space options 12. The user may then click on the privacy space option 12. The electronic device may display a privacy space unlock interface 104 as shown in fig. 2 for the user to input a verification password (i.e., an unlock password) of the privacy space in response to the user clicking on the privacy space option 11. After that, when the user inputs the password in the privacy space unlocking interface 104, the electronic device determines whether the password input by the user is correct. In the event that the user entered the correct password, the electronic device may switch from the host space to a privacy space on the electronic device, such as displaying desktop 105 within the privacy space as shown in FIG. 2. Thereafter, the user may launch an application within the privacy space of the electronic device. For example, the user clicks on application 1 on desktop 105 as described above. The electronic device starts the application 1 in response to a click operation of the application 1.

As can be seen, the starting steps of the applications in the privacy space are cumbersome, resulting in a longer time required to start the applications in the privacy space and a lower user experience.

Accordingly, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present application provides an application starting method. When the electronic equipment is in the main space, the main space on the electronic equipment indicates that the user wants to start the application in the privacy space when receiving the first trigger operation input by the user to the first interface, and the main space on the electronic equipment can display at least one preset graph on the screen of the electronic equipment. Each of the at least one preset graphic corresponds to an application in a privacy space on the electronic device.

And when the user selects a certain preset graph, indicating that the user wants to start an application in the privacy space corresponding to the preset graph, the main space can send the identification of the preset graph selected by the user to the privacy space so as to trigger the privacy space to display a privacy space unlocking interface.

And after the user inputs the password in the privacy space unlocking interface, the privacy space judges whether the password input by the user is correct. Under the condition that the password input by the user is correct, the privacy space can directly start the application in the privacy space corresponding to the mark of the preset graph selected by the user, so that the quick start of the application in the privacy space is realized.

The preset graph is equivalent to a quick access entry of the application in the privacy space, a user can directly trigger the electronic equipment to display the privacy space unlocking interface through the preset graph, and after a correct password is input, the application in the privacy space on the electronic equipment can be directly started, so that the starting steps of the application in the privacy space are simplified, the time required for starting the application in the privacy space is effectively shortened, and the user experience can be effectively improved. In addition, before starting the application in the privacy space corresponding to the preset graph, the electronic equipment still needs to carry out password verification, so that the privacy of the application in the privacy space and the use safety of the application are ensured, and the privacy disclosure of the user is avoided.

For example, the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop, a laptop, a handheld computer, a notebook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobilepersonal computer, UMPC), a netbook, a wearable device, a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) \virtual reality (VR) device, or a device including a privacy space and a main space, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited in particular form to the electronic device.

In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 240 may be disposed in the same device as at least some of the modules of the processor 210.

The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used for modulating the low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used for demodulating the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then transmits the demodulated low frequency baseband signal to the baseband processor for processing. The low frequency baseband signal is processed by the baseband processor and then transferred to the application processor. The application processor outputs sound signals through an audio device (not limited to speaker 270A, receiver 270B, etc.), or displays images or video through display screen 294.

For example, the desktop module may be located within a main space of the electronic device. The desktop module may also be configured to define a triggering operation (e.g., a triggering gesture) corresponding to the graphic, where the triggering operation is configured to trigger the electronic device (or a main space of the electronic device) to display the preset graphic.

The input module may be configured to sense a triggering operation input by a user on a screen of the electronic device, such as a gesture input by the user on the screen of the electronic device.

The return home space may be used to trigger the electronic device to switch from a privacy space on the electronic device to a home space on the electronic device. Specifically, when the electronic device is in the private space, if the user wants to use the related application or data in the main space of the electronic device, the user can click on the return main space application in the private space on the electronic device, and the electronic device is switched from the private space to the main space.

The privacy space unlocking module can be used for verifying whether the unlocking password of the privacy space input by the user is correct.

The privacy space mode verification module may be configured to launch an application within a privacy space on the electronic device based on the user-selected graphic.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned privacy space mode verification module may be further configured to directly perform an exit operation when receiving a related trigger operation of the user, so that the electronic device exits the privacy space and switches to the main space. For example, the related operation is a screen-off operation.

It should be appreciated that the return home space, the privacy space unlocking module, and the privacy space mode verification module may be located within the privacy space of the electronic device, and the home space of the electronic device may not include the three applications.

The notification manager enables the application to display notification information in a status bar, can be used for conveying notification type messages, and can automatically disappear after a short stay without user interaction. Such as notification manager is used to inform that the download is complete, message alerts, etc. The notification manager may also be a notification in the form of a chart or scroll bar text that appears on the system top status bar, such as a notification of a background running application, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is prompted in a status bar, a prompt tone is emitted, the electronic device vibrates, and an indicator light blinks, etc.

The screen saver framework software interface described above can be used to provide control functions for the screen saver mode of the electronic device 200. The control function includes an on or off function. For example, the privacy space or the main space on the electronic device can control the screen of the electronic device to be in a screen protection mode through the screen protection framework software interface, so that the opening of the screen protection function is realized.

Androidrunning includes a core library and a virtual machine. Android system is responsible for scheduling and management of android systems.

The core library consists of two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used for executing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. As shown in FIG. 4, the system library may include a surface manager (surface manager), a Media library (Media Libraries), a three-dimensional graphics processing library (e.g., openGLES), a 2D graphics engine (e.g., SGL), and the like.

The surface manager is used for managing the display subsystem and providing fusion of 2D and 3D layers for a plurality of application programs.

The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like.

The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The hardware abstraction layer (hardware abstraction layer, HAL) is an interface layer between the operating system kernel and the hardware circuitry. As shown in FIG. 4, the HAL layer may include a screen saver bottom layer driver software management interface.

The screen saver bottom layer driving software management interface is an encapsulation interface of screen saver hardware, and the main space or the privacy space of the electronic equipment can use the peep-proof characteristic of the screen of the electronic equipment through the encapsulation interface, so that the screen of the electronic equipment is in a screen saver mode, namely the electronic equipment starts a screen saver function.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. As shown in fig. 4, the kernel layer at least includes a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver, and a sensor driver.

The main space and the private space of the electronic device are two independent spaces (or referred to as a system), and there are some independent services in the main space and the private space, for example, there are services (herein or referred to as an application) such as the return main space, the private space unlocking module, and the private space pattern verification module shown in fig. 4 in the private space, and the main space does not exist.

In some embodiments, communication may be performed between a host space and a privacy space on the electronic device to transfer data. For example, a desktop module in a main space of the electronic device may send an identification of a preset graphic selected by a user to a privacy space unlocking module in a privacy space of the electronic device.

It will be appreciated that the layers and components contained in the layers in the structure shown in fig. 4 do not constitute a specific limitation on the host device or other electronic devices. In other embodiments of the application, the structure may include more or fewer layers than shown, and more or fewer components may be included in each layer, as the application is not limited.

The application provides an application starting method. When the main space of the electronic equipment receives the related trigger operation of the user, a preset graph is displayed, and the preset graph is equivalent to an access entry of an application in the privacy space on the electronic equipment. After that, the electronic device can start the application in the privacy space corresponding to the preset graph selected by the user, so that the starting step of the application in the privacy space is simplified, and the quick starting of the application in the privacy space is realized.

The application starting method provided by the embodiment of the application will be described in detail below by taking the example that the electronic device is a mobile phone including a main space and a private space, and referring to the attached drawings. As shown in fig. 5, the method may include steps S301-S309.

S301, the mobile phone receives a first triggering operation of a user on a first interface in the main space.

The first interface may be, for example, a desktop of a main space of the mobile phone. When the mobile phone is in the main space, if the user wants to use the application in the privacy space of the mobile phone, the user can input a first trigger operation on the desktop of the main space displayed by the mobile phone. The first triggering operation is used for triggering the mobile phone to display a preset graph. The preset graph corresponds to an application in the privacy space of the mobile phone.

In some embodiments, the first triggering operation may be a first gesture input by the user at the first interface. The first gesture is used for triggering a main space of the mobile phone to display a preset graph, so that a user can quickly start an application in the privacy space of the mobile phone by using the preset graph. For example, the user enters a two-finger pull-apart gesture on the desktop of the main space as shown in fig. 6, where the two-finger pull-apart gesture is the first gesture.

In one example, the first gesture may be user-defined in a main space of the mobile phone. For example, the main space of the mobile phone may provide a first gesture configuration interface, so that the user may set the first gesture on the first gesture configuration interface, thereby meeting the personalized configuration requirement of the user. In addition, because the first gesture is configured by the user, in general, only the user can input the correct first gesture to trigger the main space of the mobile phone to display the preset graph, so that the safety of the user for quickly starting the application in the privacy space through the preset graph can be ensured.

In another example, the first gesture may be preconfigured in the main space of the mobile phone. And the main space of the mobile phone can prompt the user for the first gesture and the function triggered by the first gesture in some cases (i.e. the main space of the mobile phone is triggered to display a preset graph so that the user can quickly start the application in the privacy space of the mobile phone by using the preset graph). For example, when the desktop of the main space is displayed for the first time after the mobile phone is started, the main space of the mobile phone may prompt the user for the first gesture and the function triggered by the first gesture.

For another example, in the process of booting the mobile phone for the first time, the main space of the mobile phone may prompt the user for the first gesture and the function triggered by the first gesture.

Compared with the method that the first gesture is customized by the user, the method has the advantages that the first gesture is configured in the main space of the mobile phone in advance, and the situation that the application in the privacy space cannot be started quickly due to the fact that the user forgets to customize the first gesture can be avoided. And the conflict between the first gesture customized by the user and other gestures preconfigured in the main space can be avoided, and the first gesture needs to be reconfigured by the user until the first gesture configured by the user does not conflict with the other gestures preconfigured in the main space, so that the first gesture is fussy to configure.

It should be noted that the first gesture is only an example of the first triggering operation, and the first triggering operation may be other types of operations. For example, the first trigger operation may be an operation on a key of the electronic device, or the first interface provides an associated trigger button, and the first trigger operation may be an operation on the trigger button by a user. The application is not limited in the type of the first trigger operation.

S302, the mobile phone responds to the first triggering operation, and at least one preset graph is displayed in the main space. Each preset graphic in the at least one preset graphic corresponds to an application in the privacy space of the mobile phone.

For example, when the mobile phone (or the main space of the mobile phone) receives a first trigger operation input by a user on the first interface, the mobile phone (or the main space of the mobile phone) may display at least one preset graphic under the first interface in response to the first trigger operation. As shown in fig. 7, the mobile phone (or the main space of the mobile phone) displays four preset graphics 40 at the bottom of the first interface, where each preset graphic 40 corresponds to an application in the privacy space of the mobile phone.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned preset graphic shown in fig. 7 is only an example below the first interface, and the preset graphic may be displayed at a certain blank position in the first interface. Or the preset graph can be displayed on the first interface in a popup window mode, specifically, the main space of the mobile phone responds to the first triggering operation, the popup window can be displayed on the first interface, and the preset graph is included in the popup window. The application does not limit the display position of the preset graph. And, the number of preset graphics displayed in the main space shown in fig. 7 is also only an example, and the present application does not limit the number of preset graphics that can be displayed in the main space.

Wherein, each preset graph has a corresponding mark. The identifier may be, for example, a name of the preset graphic, an identifier of an application corresponding to the preset graphic, or a number (e.g., 0,1, … …, N) of the preset graphic, etc.

In some embodiments, the preset graphic may be an icon of an application in the privacy space of the mobile phone. The main space of the mobile phone can enable a user to quickly determine the application to be started by displaying the icon of the application in the privacy space, so that the quick starting of the application in the privacy space is realized, and the starting efficiency of the application in the privacy space is improved. Correspondingly, the identifier of the preset graph may be an identifier of an application corresponding to the preset graph, or the identifier of the preset graph may be a number, a name, or the like.

In another embodiment, the preset pattern may be a pattern (e.g., rectangle, free pattern, circle, heart, as shown in fig. 7) pre-configured in the main space of the mobile phone. The preset graph is irrelevant to the icon of the application in the privacy space, so that other users are prevented from knowing the application included in the privacy space of the mobile phone, and the privacy of the application in the privacy space can be protected. Correspondingly, the identification of the preset graph can be a number, a name and the like.

In some embodiments, the main space of the mobile phone may send the identifier of each preset graphic to the privacy space of the mobile phone, so that the privacy space stores the identifier of the preset graphic.

In some embodiments, it is considered that the user has a frequently used application and the probability that the user starts the frequently used application is high. Therefore, the application in the privacy space corresponding to the preset graphic displayed in the main space may be a common application. Among other things, the common application in the privacy space may be determined in two ways.

In one implementation, the common application in the privacy space may be automatically determined by the privacy space. The handset (or the privacy space of the handset) may take as a commonly used application in the privacy space applications that are frequently used by users in the last period of time. For example, the privacy space may count the total number of uses of each second application in the privacy space within a first preset time every first preset time.

Wherein the second application is an application in the privacy space. In one case, each second application may be each application of the privacy space. In another case, the second application may be a specific application in the privacy space. For example, the particular application is a system application in the privacy space. As another example, the particular application is a third party application in the privacy space. As another example, the particular application is a user-specified application in the privacy space.

Then, the privacy space may select a preset number of applications from the second applications in the privacy space according to the order of the total number of uses from high to low, where the preset number of applications is a common application in the privacy space. The preset number is the same as the number of the preset patterns displayed in the main space, and the preset number of the applications corresponds to the preset patterns one by one.

It should be noted that the above method of automatically determining the commonly used applications in the privacy space based on the total number of uses of the applications is only an example, and the privacy space may also determine the commonly used applications in the privacy space based on other methods. For example, the privacy space may be determined based on the duration of use of the application, or based on the duration of use of the application and a total number of times of use weighted determination, etc., the present application is not limited by the method by which the privacy space determines the commonly used applications within the privacy space.

In this implementation manner, after determining the common application, the privacy space may store the correspondence between the identifier of the common application and the identifier of the preset graphic under the specified directory in the privacy space. For example, the preset pattern includes a heart shape and a rectangle shape. The heart-shaped mark is 1, and the rectangle mark is 2. Common applications include game 1 and Taobao ^TM . Game 1 corresponds to a heart shape (i.e., 1), and panning ^TM Corresponding to a rectangle (i.e., 2).

In the implementation manner, when the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) automatically determines the common application in the privacy space, the determined common application is determined once every first preset time, so that the determined common application is matched with the application use requirement of the user nearest to the user, the user can quickly start the required application through the preset graph, and the use satisfaction degree of the user is improved.

In another implementation, the common application in the privacy space may be set by the user in the privacy space of the mobile phone. Illustratively, first, the user may click on an application option in the settings interface in the privacy space displayed by the handset as shown in FIG. 2 above. The mobile phone may display an application interface as shown in fig. 8 in response to the click operation of the application option. The application interface includes common application options 41.

Thereafter, the user may click on the usual application option 41. The cell phone (or the privacy space of the cell phone) may display a commonly used application interface (or referred to as a second interface) as shown in fig. 9 in response to the click operation of the commonly used application option 41. The common application interface may include a preset number of application add controls 42. The application adding control 42 is used for configuring an application corresponding to a preset graphic, i.e. for configuring a common application. The application adding controls 42 displayed on the common application interface are in one-to-one correspondence with the preset graphics in the main space.

Thereafter, when the user clicks one of the application addition controls 42 in the common application interface shown in fig. 9, the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) may display the application list 43 shown in fig. 10 in response to the clicking operation (or referred to as the fourth triggering operation) of the application addition control 42 by the user. The application list 43 includes an identification of the individual applications within the privacy space.

Thereafter, the user may select an identification of a certain application (or first application) in the application list 43. In response to the selection operation, the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) may use the identifier of the first application as the identifier of the application corresponding to the application adding control 42, that is, the identifier of the first application is displayed on the application adding control 42. The first application selected by the user is here a commonly used application in the privacy space. For example, the user selects the option of game 1 in the application list 43 shown in fig. 10, and the privacy space uses the game 1 as the common application 1, that is, displays the identity of the game 1 on the first application addition control 42 (as shown in fig. 11).

And then, the user can continue to configure the common application corresponding to the other application adding control.

After that, when the user configuration is completed, the user may click the ok button on the common application interface shown in fig. 10 or 11 described above. The mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) responds to the operation of clicking the determination button by a user, the corresponding relation between the identification of the commonly used application configured by the user and the identification of the preset graph can be determined, and the corresponding relation is stored under the appointed directory in the privacy space, so that when the user starts the application in the privacy space through the preset graph in the main space, the privacy space can determine the application to be started by utilizing the corresponding relation between the preset graph and the identification of the commonly used application.

When the privacy space determines the corresponding relation between the identification of the common application and the identification of the preset graph, the identification of the common application and the identification of the preset graph are only required to be in one-to-one correspondence, namely each preset graph corresponds to one common application.

It should be understood that the number of application add controls on the common application interface shown in fig. 9-11 described above is only one example, i.e., the number of common applications available for configuration by a user is only one example. The present application is not limited to the number of commonly used applications that can be configured by a user.

In some embodiments, when the application addition control on the above-mentioned common application interface has configured the common application, the user may also delete the common application so that the user may reconfigure the common application. As shown in fig. 12, the user clicks the application addition control 42 corresponding to game 1. In response to the clicking operation of the application adding control 42, the privacy space may directly delete the game 1 corresponding to the application adding control 42, that is, the game 1 is no longer a common application, that is, the game 1 no longer corresponds to the preset graphics in the main space. Accordingly, the game 1 (shown in FIG. 13) is not displayed on the application addition control 42 on the common application interface. And, the correspondence between the game 1 and the mark of the preset pattern is not stored under the specified directory.

Alternatively, in order to avoid erroneous deletion of the application due to the user's mistouching, the privacy space may first display a pop-up window 44 as shown in fig. 14 in response to the clicking operation of the application addition control corresponding to the game 1. The pop-up window 44 displays a prompt for confirming whether to stop the game 1 as a normal application, and includes a ok button and a cancel button. When the user clicks the ok button on the pop-up window, indicating that the user actually wants to stop playing 1 as a common application, the privacy space may delete the game 1 corresponding to the application add control 42, and display the common application interface shown in fig. 13. When the user clicks the cancel button on the pop-up window, the privacy space may not delete the game 1 corresponding to the application adding control 42, and then continue to use the game 1 as a common application, so that the user may set the latest common application in the privacy space according to the actual use requirement, update the common application, and meet the application starting requirement of the user.

The above describes the case where the number of common applications available for user configuration is fixed, but there may be the case where the number of common applications available for user configuration is user selectable. In the case where the number of commonly used applications is optional, the above commonly used application interface may further include an add application button. The add application button is used to trigger the privacy space to add a new application add control on the common application interface.

For example, when a user needs to add a new application add control to configure more commonly used applications, the user may click on the add application button 45 on the commonly used interface as shown in FIG. 15. In response to the clicking operation of the add application button 45, the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) may add an application add control (as shown in fig. 16) on the common application interface, so that the user may set the number of common applications according to the requirement.

In the case where the number of commonly used applications is optional, the above commonly used application interface may further include a delete application button. The delete application button is used to delete an application add control on the common interface. For example, when the user needs to delete the application addition control of the commonly used application 4 shown in fig. 16, the user may first select the application addition control of the commonly used application 4, and then the user may click the delete application button shown in fig. 16. The privacy space may delete the application addition control selected by the user in response to the clicking operation of the delete application button, that is, the application addition control of the common application 4, and the deleted common application interface may be as shown in fig. 15.

In some embodiments, when the number of configuration of the common applications is selectable, after the configuration of the common applications is completed, for each common application configured by the user, the privacy space may select, from the identifiers of the preset graphics sent by the main space, an identifier of a preset graphic as an identifier of a preset graphic corresponding to the common application, so as to implement one-to-one correspondence between the preset graphic and the common application.

Then, the privacy space can also send the identification of the preset graph corresponding to the common application to the main space. The preset graph corresponding to the common application is changed into a graph which needs to be displayed when the main space receives the first trigger operation. That is, the main space is also selectable in the number of preset graphics displayed upon receiving the first trigger operation, the number of preset graphics displayed being the same as the number of commonly used applications configured by the user.

In the implementation manner, the privacy space of the mobile phone provides the common application interface so that a user can configure the common application in the privacy space according to the use requirement, and therefore the mobile phone can accurately start the application required to be started by the user through the preset graph displayed in the main space of the mobile phone, and the use satisfaction degree of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, the correspondence between the common application in the privacy space and the preset graphics in the main space, that is, the specific application in the privacy space corresponding to each preset graphics may not be described to the user. The user may attempt to launch an application in the privacy space through the preset graphic to determine the application in the privacy space to which the preset graphic corresponds.

In other embodiments, the correspondence between the common application in the privacy space and the preset graphics in the main space, that is, the specific application in the privacy space corresponding to each preset graphics may be described to the user through the first prompt information, so that the user may quickly learn the application in the privacy space corresponding to the preset graphics, and be convenient for the user to quickly start the application in the privacy space corresponding to the preset graphics through the preset graphics. For example, the first hint information may be displayed on a commonly used application interface within the privacy space (e.g., first hint information 46 on the commonly used application interface shown in FIG. 17). The first prompt information is used for indicating the corresponding relation between the application adding control and the preset graph.

S303, the mobile phone receives a second triggering operation of a user on a target graph in at least one preset graph displayed in the main space.

S304, responding to the second triggering operation, and sending the identification of the target graph to the privacy space of the mobile phone by the main space of the mobile phone.

S305, the privacy space of the mobile phone receives the identification of the target graph and displays a privacy space unlocking interface.

S306, the mobile phone receives an unlocking password input by a user on the privacy space unlocking interface.

S307, the mobile phone judges whether the unlocking password input by the user is correct.

The second triggering operation may be a clicking operation, for example. When a user clicks a certain preset graph displayed on a screen of the mobile phone, the preset graph is a target graph, and the user is required to use an application (namely a target application) corresponding to the target graph, the main space of the mobile phone sends an identification of the target graph to the privacy space of the mobile phone so that the privacy space of the mobile phone can determine whether to start the target application.

When the privacy space of the mobile phone receives the identification of the target graph, a privacy space unlocking interface is displayed, and the privacy space unlocking interface is used for inputting an unlocking password entering the privacy space of the mobile phone by a user. After the user inputs the password in the privacy space unlocking interface, the privacy space of the mobile phone receives the unlocking password input by the user.

And then, the privacy space of the mobile phone judges whether the unlocking password input by the user is a preset unlocking password of the privacy space. The preset unlocking password of the privacy space is a password which is preset by a user and enters the privacy space of the mobile phone.

After S307, when the unlock code input by the user is the preset unlock code of the privacy space, it indicates that the unlock code input by the user is correct, and the privacy space of the mobile phone may execute S308. When the unlock code input by the user is not the preset unlock code of the privacy space, it indicates that the unlock code input by the user is wrong, and the privacy space of the mobile phone may execute S309.

S308, the mobile phone starts a target application corresponding to the identification of the target graph in the privacy space of the mobile phone.

When the unlocking password input by the user is the preset unlocking password of the privacy space, the unlocking password input by the user is correct, and the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) can normally start the target application corresponding to the target graph, so that the starting step of the application in the privacy space is greatly simplified, and the quick starting of the application in the privacy space is realized.

For example, the user clicks on a rectangle as shown in FIG. 7 above. The rectangle is the target graphic. In response to a user clicking on the rectangle, the main space of the mobile phone may send an identification of the rectangle to the privacy space of the mobile phone.

Then, in response to receiving the identification of the rectangle, the privacy space of the mobile phone may display the privacy space unlocking interface 104 shown in fig. 2 on the screen of the mobile phone.

And then, the privacy space of the mobile phone can receive the unlocking password input by the user on the unlocking interface of the privacy space and judge whether the unlocking password input by the user is correct or not.

When the unlocking password input by the user is correct, the privacy space of the mobile phone can start the application corresponding to the rectangle in the privacy space. For example, the application corresponding to the rectangle is game 2, and when the privacy space of the mobile phone starts game 2, the mobile phone displays a starting interface as shown in fig. 18.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) may also activate a screen saver function, i.e., set the screen of the mobile phone to a screen saver mode, in response to receiving the identification of the target graphic. When the screen saver function on the mobile phone is started, the user can only see the content displayed on the screen of the mobile phone from certain angles, and cannot see the content displayed on the screen of the mobile phone from other angles, so that the privacy of the user is protected. For example, as shown in fig. 19, a user whose viewing angle is located directly in front of the screen of the mobile phone can see the content displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, whereas a user whose viewing angle is located at other positions of the screen of the mobile phone cannot see the content displayed on the screen of the mobile phone.

In some embodiments, the main space and the privacy space of the mobile phone both support the user to set the screen saver function. For example, when a user wants to put others in peeping through the content of the screen display, the user can activate a screen saver function on the handset. The privacy space or the main space of the mobile phone responds to the operation of starting the screen function by a user to start the screen protection function.

Illustratively, the privacy space and the main space of the mobile phone each provide a setting interface of a screen saver function, such as the privacy interface shown in fig. 20, which includes a screen saver function option 47. The user can set whether to start the screen saver function of the mobile phone through the screen saver function option. For example, the privacy interface shown in fig. 20 is an interface in the main space. The user clicks on the screen saver function option 47 on the privacy interface. The mobile phone (or the main space of the mobile phone) displays a screen saver function interface (or referred to as a third interface) as shown in fig. 21 in response to a user clicking on the screen saver function option 47, the screen saver function interface including a screen saver function configuration switch 48 for enabling or disabling a screen saver function on the mobile phone by the user through the screen saver function configuration switch 48.

In some embodiments, in response to the second triggering operation, the main space of the mobile phone may send not only the identifier of the target graphic to the privacy space of the mobile phone, but also the shortcut identifier to the privacy space of the mobile phone, so that the privacy space of the mobile phone determines that the user is starting the application in the privacy space through the shortcut, and thus the privacy space of the mobile phone starts the target application through the shortcut.

In some embodiments, to increase the efficiency of exiting applications in the privacy space of the handset, the handset may also provide a shortcut to exit applications in the privacy space. When the target application is started, that is, when a third trigger operation of the user is received during the process that the user uses the target application, the user does not want to continue to use the mobile phone, and the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) can directly execute the exit operation in response to the third trigger operation and switch to the main space. Because the privacy space of the mobile phone is withdrawn, the target application is withdrawn correspondingly, so that the application in the privacy space is withdrawn quickly.

The third triggering operation may be a screen-off operation. For example, the off-screen operation may be an operation in which the user presses a power key of the mobile phone. The mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) responds to the operation of pressing the power key by a user, can perform screen-extinguishing operation and exit operation, and realizes exit of the privacy space. Correspondingly, when the mobile phone is on the screen again, the space where the mobile phone is located is the main space of the mobile phone.

S309, the mobile phone does not start the target application corresponding to the identification of the target graph.

In the embodiment of the application, when the unlocking password input by the user is not the preset unlocking password of the privacy space, the unlocking password input by the user is indicated to be wrong, and in order to protect the privacy of the application in the privacy space, the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) does not start the target application corresponding to the target graph.

In some embodiments, when the unlock password input by the user is wrong, the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) may trigger the main space of the mobile phone to continue displaying the first interface on the screen of the mobile phone, that is, the mobile phone continues displaying the first interface.

In other embodiments, when the unlocking password input by the user is wrong, the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) may display the second prompt information on the privacy space unlocking interface. The second prompt message is used for prompting the user to input the password error and the residual input times. When the user inputs the password error again, if the number of times of inputting the password error exceeds the preset number of times, the mobile phone (or the privacy space of the mobile phone) can trigger the main space of the mobile phone to continuously display the first interface on the screen of the mobile phone, so that the safety of the privacy space is protected, and the privacy of the user is prevented from being revealed.

The application provides a shortcut for launching an application in a privacy space. The main space of the mobile phone can display a specific graph corresponding to the application in the privacy space through a specific gesture input by the user. And then, the main space of the mobile phone can trigger the privacy space of the mobile phone to start the target application in the privacy space through the graph selected by the user, so that the quick starting of the application in the privacy space is realized. A possible implementation of launching an application in the privacy space will be illustrated below in connection with the software architecture shown in fig. 4 described above. For example, as shown in fig. 22, the implementation process of launching an application in a privacy space may include the following steps:

first, the input module in the main space of the mobile phone may execute S401 to receive a gesture input by a user on a first interface displayed on the mobile phone. After that, the input module may execute S402 to determine whether the gesture input by the user is the first gesture.

If the gesture input by the user is not the first gesture, the input module may execute S403 to perform a corresponding triggering operation based on the gesture input by the user.

If the gesture input by the user is the first gesture, the input module may execute S404 to send a first instruction to the desktop module in the main space. The first instruction is used for triggering the desktop module to display a preset graph.

After that, the desktop module may execute S405, and display at least one preset graphic under the first interface in response to the first instruction.

And when the user selects one of the at least one preset graphic, the desktop module may execute S406 to send the identifier of the target graphic and the start mode identifier to the privacy space unlocking module of the mobile phone. The target pattern is a preset pattern selected by the user.

Then, the privacy space unlocking module may execute S407, receive the identifier of the target graphic and the identifier of the starting module, and display a privacy space unlocking interface on the screen of the mobile phone.

After that, when the user inputs the password in the privacy space unlocking interface, the privacy space unlocking module may execute S408 to receive the unlocking password input by the user.

After that, the privacy space unlocking module may execute S409 to determine whether the unlocking password input by the user is a preset unlocking password of the privacy space. The preset unlocking password of the privacy space is a password which is preset by a user and enters the privacy space of the mobile phone.

If the unlock code entered by the user is not the preset unlock code of the private space, indicating that the unlock code entered by the user is incorrect, the private space unlock module may execute S410 without sending the identification of the target graphic and the start mode identification to the private space mode verification module in the private space. That is, the privacy space of the mobile phone does not start the target application corresponding to the target graph in the privacy space.

If the unlock code entered by the user is the preset unlock code of the private space, indicating that the unlock code entered by the user is correct, the private space unlock module may execute S411 to send the identifier of the target graphic and the start mode identifier to the private space mode verification module in the private space.

Thereafter, the privacy space mode verification module may execute S412 to receive the identification of the target graphic and the start mode identification described above.

After that, the privacy space mode verification module may execute S413 to determine whether the startup mode identifier is a preset shortcut mode identifier.

If the startup mode identifier is not the preset shortcut mode identifier, the privacy space mode verification module may execute S414 to normally start the privacy space of the mobile phone. Such as a desktop that displays the privacy space.

If the start mode identifier is a preset shortcut mode identifier, which indicates that the user wants to start the application in the privacy space quickly, the privacy space mode verification module may execute S415 to obtain an application identifier corresponding to the identifier of the target graphic, and start the target application corresponding to the application identifier.

After that, after the target application is started, the privacy space mode verification module may execute S416 to perform a suspend operation. The suspension of the privacy space mode verification module may be understood herein as a suspension of a process.

Then, when the privacy space mode verification module receives the screen-off operation, the privacy space mode verification module is activated, which may execute S417, and in response to receiving the screen-off operation, the exit operation is performed, that is, the mobile phone is switched from the privacy space to the main space. When the mobile phone is on the screen again, the space where the mobile phone is located is the main space of the mobile phone. Activation of the privacy space mode verification module may be understood herein as activation of a process.

In some embodiments, if the above-mentioned start mode identifier is a shortcut mode identifier, the privacy space mode verification module may further execute S418 to start a screen saver function, that is, set the screen of the mobile phone to a screen saver mode, so that the user can only see the content displayed on the screen of the mobile phone from some angles, and cannot see the content displayed on the screen of the mobile phone from other angles, thereby realizing peeping prevention and privacy protection of the user.

Illustratively, the privacy space mode verification mode may invoke a screen saver framework software interface within the privacy space to enable activation of a screen saver function on the handset. Correspondingly, when the screen saver framework software interface in the privacy space is called to realize the opening of the screen saver function, the screen saver framework software interface in the privacy space can utilize the screen saver bottom layer driving software management interface in the privacy space, so that the screen saver hardware of the screen on the mobile phone can operate according to the working mode of the screen saver mode.

In some embodiments, when the user selects a certain preset graphic in the at least one preset graphic, the desktop module may directly send the identifier of the target graphic and the identifier of the start mode to the privacy space mode verification module of the mobile phone, and send the corresponding first trigger instruction to the privacy space unlocking module of the mobile phone, without executing S406. And then, the privacy space unlocking module responds to the first trigger instruction to display a privacy space unlocking interface on the screen of the mobile phone. When the unlocking password input by the user is determined to be correct, the privacy space unlocking module can send a second triggering instruction to the privacy space mode verification module. Thereafter, the privacy spatial mode verification module may execute the steps S413 and thereafter.
