Description

Interface display method, readable medium and electronic device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to an interface display method, a readable medium, and an electronic device.

Background

In order to improve the operation experience of the user, the electronic device may display interfaces of multiple applications or multiple interfaces of one application at the same time, so that the user may perform interactive operation on the interfaces of multiple applications or multiple interfaces of one application at the same interactive interface. For example, referring to fig. 1A, when the user clicks the battery control 1011 on the setting main interface 101 of the setting application while using the tablet pc 100, the tablet pc 100 displays the setting main interface 101 of the setting application and the battery interface 102 corresponding to the battery control 1011 in columns. It will be appreciated that the battery settings are system settings and that the battery interface 102 interfaces to the system manager application. Based on the interface displayed by tablet 100 illustrated in fig. 1A, a user can interact with both setup main interface 101 and battery interface 102.

However, in the column display scenario, if the user clicks the switch control 1021 corresponding to the low-power mode to perform the display mode switching operation, the priority of the application thread is low, and then the priority of the application thread of the opened system manager is high, which may cause that the display modes of the interactive interfaces of the two applications are not synchronous, for example, the battery interface 102 is switched fast, and the main interface 101 is switched slow; in addition, in the process of setting the display mode of the main interface 101, the setting application thread may be preempted by other application threads to schedule priority, so that the setting application cannot perform mode switching for a long time, and further the main interface 101 may even have the condition of black screen and white screen. Specifically, referring to the display interface illustrated in fig. 1B, as illustrated in fig. 1B, after the user clicks the switch control 1021, the battery interface 102 is switched to the low-power mode, the battery interface 102 in the low-power mode changes to a dark color, and since the setting thread is put on hold, the setting main interface 101 appears as a white screen, and after a period of time, the setting main interface 101 is also switched to the dark color mode as illustrated in fig. 1C, so that the interface conversion effect is quite abrupt.

Detailed Description

Illustrative embodiments of the application include, but are not limited to, interface display methods, readable media, and electronic devices.

It can be appreciated that the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application may be applicable to any terminal device capable of displaying an application interface and having a display mode switching function, including, but not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device (such as a smart watch, a smart bracelet, etc.), a vehicle-mounted device (such as a car machine, etc.), an internet of things device, a smart home device (such as a smart television, etc.), and so on. For convenience of description, the technical scheme of the application is described below by taking a terminal device as a tablet computer as an example.

As described above, in the electronic device, the display mode of the display interface of the electronic device may be switched according to the operation of the user, specifically, if the user triggers a mode switching button or a mode switching module of the mode switching interface (for example, the user triggers a switch control of the low-power mode in the above-mentioned battery interface), the display mode of the electronic device may be switched from one mode to another mode. The mode switching button can be a switch control of a low-power mode, and can also be an on/off button of a dark mode or an eye protection mode; the display modes may include at least two different color modes, such as a dark color mode, a light color mode, and the like.

In some scenarios, the screen of the tablet computer may display the interfaces of different applications in columns, that is, the setting main interface and the mode switching interface may be displayed simultaneously. When the user triggers the mode switching button for setting the main interface, the mode switching interface and the main interface can be displayed side by side on the screen of the tablet personal computer. The setting main interface is an interface corresponding to a process of the setting application, the mode switching interface is an interface corresponding to a process of the system manager application, and the process priority of the setting application is lower than that of the system manager application. For example, the system defaults that the process priority of the system manager application is higher priority, usually Real Time (RT) scheduling type, and the system defaults that the process priority of the system default setting application is lower priority, the setting application is a Foreground (FG) application, and the setting process is usually fair scheduling type of non-real time scheduling, so the system manager interface will switch display modes before setting the interface.

As shown in fig. 1B, after the battery interface 102 is switched from light to dark, the thread of the application is in the ready (runnable) state for a long time due to the lower process priority of the application, so that the interval between the color switching time point of the main interface 101 and the color switching time point of the battery interface 102 is long, and even a white screen or black screen state may occur.

Furthermore, since the priority of the thread corresponding to the setting application is a lower priority corresponding to the FG application, the priority is easily preempted by other applications, so that a situation that the thread of the setting application is suspended may occur, and the setting main interface 101 is in a white screen or black screen state for a long time.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an interface display method, which is applied to an electronic device that can display a setting main interface and a mode switching interface (such as the above-mentioned battery interface 102) at the same time. According to the interface display method, after the electronic equipment detects the mode switching instruction (such as the low-power mode switching instruction) triggered by the user based on the mode switching interface, the scheduling priority of the thread for setting the application is switched from the default first priority to the higher second priority, namely the probability that the thread for setting the application is scheduled preferentially is increased, so that the scheduling time of the thread for setting is shortened, the display mode of the interface for setting the application is switched more quickly, and the visual experience of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, after the setting application interface switches display modes, the thread priority of the setting application may be adjusted to switch from the second priority to the first priority.

The technical scheme of the application is further described below with reference to fig. 3. The present specification provides methods or process operational steps as illustrated in examples or flowcharts, but may include more or fewer operational steps based on conventional or non-inventive labor. The sequence of steps recited in the embodiments is only one manner of a plurality of execution sequences, and does not represent a unique execution sequence, and may be executed in parallel or in accordance with the method or flow sequence shown in the embodiments or the drawings (e.g., the environment of a parallel controller or a multithreaded process) when actually executed.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flow chart illustrating an interface display method according to an embodiment of the application. Optionally, the execution subject of the method is an electronic device, such as a tablet computer. As shown in fig. 2, the process includes the steps of:

s101: the first interface is displayed.

It is understood that the first interface includes a setting main interface in the first color mode and a mode switching interface in the first color mode. That is, the electronic device may display the setting main interface and the mode switching interface at the same time.

In some embodiments, the setting main interface and the mode switching interface may be displayed in parallel or in columns; in other embodiments, the setup main interface and the mode switch interface may be a main interface and a sub-interface, respectively, e.g., the mode switch interface may be displayed in a pop-up window over the setup main interface. The embodiment of the application does not limit the display modes of the setting main interface and the mode switching interface.

As an example, the setting main interface includes a button corresponding to the mode switching interface. And responding to clicking operation of a button corresponding to the mode switching interface by a user, and displaying the setting main interface and the mode switching interface in columns, namely displaying the first interface by the electronic equipment.

In some embodiments, the setup master interface may be an interface corresponding to the setup application, and the mode switch interface may be an interface corresponding to the system manager application, such as a battery interface.

S102: a mode switch instruction is detected at a first point in time.

It is understood that the mode switching instruction is generated based on an operation of the user on the mode switching interface, and the mode switching instruction is used for instructing the electronic device to switch from the first color mode to the second color mode.

Alternatively, the first color mode and the second color mode may be one of a dark color mode and a light color mode, respectively. In other alternative embodiments, the first color mode and the second color mode may be other color modes besides a dark color mode and a light color mode, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, a user operates a mode switch interface, triggers a mode switch button to generate a mode switch instruction, and causes the electronic device to detect the mode switch instruction at a first point in time.

In an alternative embodiment, after the first time point, the electronic device may start drawing and displaying the mode switching interface in the second color mode at the third time point according to the scheduling priority of the thread corresponding to the mode switching interface.

Illustratively, the kernel makes calls to each thread based on its scheduling priority. Alternatively, the thread corresponding to the mode switching interface may be a system manager thread, and the scheduling priority corresponding to the thread is RT. Therefore, after the mode switching instruction is detected, the kernel can preferentially call the system manager thread, draw and display the mode switching interface in the second color mode, and enable the mode switching interface to be switched from the original first color mode to the second color mode.

S103: the scheduling priority of the thread of the set application is switched from the first priority to the second priority.

It is understood that the second priority is higher than the first priority. Optionally, the second priority is lower than the scheduling priority of the thread corresponding to the mode switching interface.

Illustratively, the first priority may be a FG type priority, i.e., a fair scheduling type priority of non-real-time scheduling, and the second priority may be an important scheduling (very important person, VIP) type priority. In the case that the scheduling priority is FG type priority, since the scheduling is based on fairness principle, other foreground applications may preempt the scheduling priority of the set thread, so that the situation that the set thread scheduling is slow or is put aside occurs; in the case where the scheduling priority is VIP, the set thread may be scheduled before the thread whose scheduling priority is the priority of FG type.

S104: the second interface is displayed at a second point in time based on the second priority.

It is understood that the second interface includes a setting main interface in the second color mode and a mode switching interface in the second color mode.

In an alternative embodiment, at a second point in time after the first point in time, the electronic device may draw and display a second interface at the second point in time according to setting a second priority of the threads of the application.

Illustratively, the kernel makes calls to each thread based on its scheduling priority. Optionally, the thread corresponding to the setting main interface may be a setting thread, and the scheduling priority corresponding to the setting main interface is a second priority, and then the kernel calls the setting thread based on the second priority, and draws and displays the setting main interface in the second color mode at the second time point, so that the setting main interface is switched from the original first color mode to the second color mode.

In some embodiments, after the second interface is displayed, the scheduling priority of the thread of the set application may be switched from the second priority to the first priority to restore the priority of the set thread to the default state.

It should be appreciated that in the embodiment described above in which the third interface is drawn and displayed at a third point in time, the third point in time is after the first point in time and before the second point in time. That is, the mode switching interface switches to the second color mode before setting the main interface.

According to the interface display method provided by the embodiment of the application, the electronic equipment can improve the priority of the setting thread after receiving the mode switching operation of the user so as to rapidly switch the display modes of the setting main interface and the mode switching interface in the display interface, so that the problem of slow switching of the setting main interface caused by slow scheduling of the setting thread is avoided, and the problem of switching time difference of a plurality of application interfaces is further avoided, thereby improving the visual experience and the use experience of the user; and under the condition that the processor is in a high-load state, the priority of the setting thread is increased, so that the setting thread can be prevented from being put aside, and the problems of black screen and white screen of the setting main interface are avoided.

The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application is further described below by combining the software architecture of the electronic equipment.

It is understood that the software architecture of the electronic device may be any software architecture such as iOS, android, hong-mong, etc., and the software architecture of the electronic device will be described with reference to android.

Specifically, fig. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of a software architecture of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.

The software system of the electronic device may employ a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the application, an Android system with a layered architecture is taken as an example, and the software structure of the electronic equipment is illustrated.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with distinct roles and branches. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into three layers, an application layer, an application framework layer, and a kernel layer, from top to bottom, respectively.

The application layer may include a series of application packages. Including, for example, settings and system households and other applications. Other applications may include cameras, gallery, calendar, talk, map, navigation, WLAN, bluetooth, music, video, short messages, etc.

As an example, a system manager application may color render or display mode switch display interfaces of setup applications and other applications of an electronic device through interfaces and services of an application framework layer, a kernel layer in response to user-based interactive interface operations.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the application layer may include more or fewer applications, and is not limited in this regard.

The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and programming framework for application programs of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions. As illustrated in fig. 4, the application framework layer may optionally include system services and intelligent management services.

The system services may manage application lifecycle and provide common navigation rollback functionality.

The intelligent management service can identify application scenes and user demands according to machine learning, and can schedule resources of the application programs with the aim of reducing power consumption and improving performance.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. Optionally, the kernel layer includes memory management, thread management, display drivers, camera drivers, audio drivers, sensor drivers, and the like. As one example, the kernel may invoke each thread based on its scheduling priority, e.g., priority scheduling the focal application based on its high priority.

The flow of the interface display method according to the embodiment of the present application will be briefly described with reference to the software architecture shown in fig. 3 and the exemplary flow illustrated in fig. 4.

In some embodiments, after the user opens the setup main interface, the setup application is in the foreground and is the focus application, at which time the setup application operates based on a high priority and the other applications operate based on a low priority.

Illustratively, the user may click on a battery control in the setup main interface to enter the battery page. When the setup application detects a click operation by the user based on the setup main interface, a StartActivity () function may be called to open the battery page.

After clicking into the battery page, a low battery mode switch broadcast may be registered. Specifically, the setting application may be registered as a broadcast receiver. At this time, the application manager is in the foreground and is the focus application, and the application manager operates based on the high priority, whereas the setting is in the foreground but is not the focus application, and the setting operates based on the low priority.

The user may then click on the low battery mode. After the system manager application detects that the user clicks to switch the low battery mode, the system manager application may send a broadcast to the system service causing the system service to send a broadcast callback to the setup application.

The setting application receives the broadcast callback, and then the setting application sets the VIP thread to the intelligent management service to improve the priority of the setting thread, so that the setting is operated based on the higher priority. It can be understood that the system service may dispatch an application page restart state to each application, so that the battery page and the setting page are respectively restarted, where the setting page and the battery page are displayed in the switched display mode.

After the display mode switching of the setting main interface is completed, the setting application may cancel VIP priority to the intelligent management service to readjust the thread priority to a lower priority.

Further, the following describes a part of the flow in fig. 5 in conjunction with the software architecture shown in fig. 3. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an interaction flow of an interface display method according to an embodiment of the application.

For example, after detecting that the user triggers the operation of the low battery mode switch, the system manager application may send a broadcast message to the activity management service, and after receiving the broadcast message, the activity management service sends a broadcast callback message to the setting application, and then the setting application sends a priority setting message to the intelligent management service, where the priority setting message characterizes that the priority of the setting thread is set to VIP. Further, the intelligent management service sends a priority report message to the kernel, wherein the priority report message contains VIP priority setting information of the setting thread.

For example, after the setup thread is invoked for interface redrawing, the setup application may send a priority cancel message to the intelligent management service, wherein the priority cancel message characterizes that the priority of the setup thread is restored by the VIP to a default priority. Further, the intelligent management service sends a priority report message to the kernel, wherein the priority report message contains VIP priority cancel information of the set thread.

An interface display method according to an embodiment of the present application is further described below based on fig. 5. Specifically, in the embodiment illustrated in fig. 5, the mode switching interface is a battery page. Referring to fig. 5, the interaction flow among the setup application, the system manager (battery) application, the intelligent management service (iAware), the Activity Management Service (AMS), and the kernel (kernel) includes:

s201: in response to opening the battery page, the setup application sends a startup message to the AMS.

Illustratively, in response to a user clicking on a battery control on a setup main interface, a call function startActivity () is set to send a startup message to the AMS, where the startup message may be an Intent (Intent) message specifying an Activity (Activity) that needs to be started.

In some embodiments, the AMS may be one of a plurality of system services in a system service (SystemServer). After the AMS process receives the startup message, the AMS process may parse the startup message and determine whether a process corresponding to the battery page exists, and if so, create a corresponding Activity record (Activity record), and start to open the Activity corresponding to the battery page.

It can be understood that before the battery interface is opened, the application is set to be in the foreground and is in focus, and at this time, the scheduling priority of the thread is set to be RT, and the priority is higher. The focus application characterizes that the Activity corresponding to the application is in a Running (Active) or Running (Running) state, specifically, when the focus application is set, the main interface is set to be in a visible state, and a user can interact with the main interface.

In an alternative embodiment, the setup page is in an open state prior to step S201. In step S201, after the battery page is opened, the battery page and the setting page may be displayed in parallel and in columns. In other embodiments, the battery page may be displayed in a pop-up window above the setup page, and embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner in which the setup main interface and the battery interface are displayed. Optionally, the setting page includes a mode switching module or a mode switching button, and the electronic device may display the battery page and the setting page simultaneously in response to a clicking operation of the battery button by a user.

S202: the setup application registers a broadcast receiver with the AMS.

It can be appreciated that in the android broadcasting mechanism, the AMS may be responsible for registration and distribution operations of broadcasting as a broadcasting center, and applications may register broadcasting receivers into the AMS.

For example, in case it is determined that the electronic device displays a battery page, the setting may call a register receiver () function to register a broadcast receiver with the AMS and set the setting as the broadcast receiver or the broadcast receiver. In this way, after the subsequent AMS receives the broadcast message transmitted from the battery, the AMS may transmit a broadcast callback message to the setting based on the setting being a registered broadcast recipient that is eligible.

It will be appreciated that after the battery interface is opened, the battery is the focus application and is set as the foreground application. The scheduling priority of the thread of the battery is high priority corresponding to RT, and the scheduling priority of the thread is low priority corresponding to FG.

S203: in response to the user clicking the low battery mode, the system manager transmits a broadcast to the AMS.

Illustratively, when a user clicks on a low-battery mode toggle button (or referred to as a switch control) on the battery interface, the battery invokes the sendboard () function to send a broadcast to the AMS.

S204: the AMS sends a broadcast callback to the setup application.

Illustratively, since the setting is registered as a broadcast receiver in step S202, the AMS may call an onreceived () function to send a broadcast onreceived () callback to the setting after receiving the broadcast.

S205: the setup application registers the VIP thread with the iAware.

For example, the setting may register the VIP thread with the iAware by calling addVipThreads () to set the scheduling priority of the setting thread to VIP. Alternatively, in this process, the setting may send a priority setting message to the AMS, where the priority setting message characterizes the priority setting of the setting thread as VIP priority.

For example, the scheduling priority of the thread of the setting application may be set to VIP priority by the priority corresponding to FG. In the case that the scheduling priority is RT, other foreground applications may preempt the scheduling priority of the set thread because the scheduling is based on a fairness principle, so that the situation that the set thread scheduling is slow or is put aside occurs; and in the case where the scheduling priority is VIP, the set thread may be scheduled before the thread with the RT priority.

In some alternative embodiments, the priority information may be represented in the form of numbers, with smaller numbers indicating higher scheduling priorities for threads and larger numbers indicating lower scheduling priorities for threads. Alternatively, for RT priority, the corresponding priority information may take an integer in the range of [0,99], while for VIP, FG priority, the corresponding priority information may take an integer in the range of [100,139 ]. It should be noted that the above mapping relationship between the priority and the priority information is only an example, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this, and in other alternative implementations, other numerical setting manners may be used for the priority information.

S206: the iAware sends a priority report to the kernel.

For example, after the iAware determines the scheduling priority of the set thread as VIP, the iAware may send a priority report message to the kernel, where the priority report message includes VIP priority setting information of the set thread.

In some embodiments, the VIP priority setting information for the set thread may include set thread information, VIP priority information, and time information. The VIP priority information may be represented by a number, and specifically, reference may be made to the related content in step S205, which is not described herein. The time information may characterize the time at which the thread changes priority, e.g., the time at which the set priority becomes VIP.

S207: in response to the user clicking the low battery mode, the dark mode is switched.

For example, when a user clicks a low-power mode switching button on a battery interface, the battery may call a change mode () function to cause a system service to switch a display mode to a dark mode of a system of the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the electronic device is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and when the low-power mode is enabled, the system display mode can be automatically switched to the dark mode, so that the device power consumption can be reduced.

It will be appreciated that the application is not limited to a switched display mode and that in alternative embodiments the display mode may be other than a dark mode.

S208: the system service performs interface refreshing on the setting application.

It is to be appreciated that the system service can interface refresh a plurality of applications, including setting up the applications.

Illustratively, after the change mode () function call, the system service may dispatch a config change to each application to cause each application to refresh the application interface according to the updated display mode. In this process, the onResume function is called to refresh the interactive interface state of the setup application, causing the setup main interface to switch from the original light mode to the dark mode.

In some embodiments, the kernel schedules the setup process in real time according to the priority of each thread, and in particular, according to the VIP priority of the setup thread. It will be appreciated that the scheduling priority of the battery thread is RT, that is, the scheduling priority of the battery thread is higher than the setup thread, so that the refresh of the battery interface is prior to the refresh of the setup master interface.

S209: the setup application cancels the VIP thread to the iAware.

Illustratively, the setting may cancel the VIP thread to the iAware by calling the cancelviphreads () function to restore the scheduling priority of the set thread from the VIP priority to the FG priority. Optionally, in this process, the setting may send a priority cancel message to the AMS, where the priority cancel message characterizes that the priority of the setting thread is changed from VIP priority to priority corresponding to the default priority FG.

It will be appreciated that in accordance with some alternative embodiments, in the scheduling priority of threads, VIP priority is better than FG-corresponding priority, and worse than RT-corresponding priority.

S210: the iAware sends a priority report to the kernel.

For example, after the iAware cancels the VIP priority of the set thread, the iAware may send a priority report message to the kernel, where the priority report message includes VIP priority cancellation information of the set thread.

In some embodiments, the VIP priority cancellation information for the set thread may include set thread information, FG priority information, and time information. The FG priority information may be represented by a number, and specific reference may be made to the related content in step S205, which is not described herein. The time information may characterize the time at which the thread changes priority, e.g., the time at which the set priority becomes FG.

According to the interface display method provided by the embodiment of the application, the electronic equipment can improve the priority of the setting thread after receiving the mode switching operation of the user so as to ensure the priority scheduling of the setting thread, thereby avoiding the problems of slow color switching, black screen and white screen of the setting main interface; and after the refreshing of the set page is completed, the electronic device can restore the priority of the thread to prevent the set thread from preempting the priority of other threads, thereby ensuring the processor supply of other applications.
