In one possible implementation manner, the terminal may establish an association relationship with the split-screen service process, so as to implement binding of the terminal and the split-screen service process.

In one possible implementation, the triggering operation on the first control may be a clicking operation, and accordingly, the terminal displays the first window in response to the clicking operation on the first control, and binds the split screen service process. The click operation may be an operation performed by a user based on an external connection device (e.g., mouse, stylus), or may be a click operation performed by a user in a touch screen of a terminal using a finger, for example.

Referring to fig. 8, upon receiving a user's trigger operation of the first control in the interface shown in fig. 8, the terminal may display a window 801 in response. Wherein the window 801 may be the first window described above.

In the above process, two modes of clicking operation or sliding operation are provided to trigger the terminal to display the first window and bind the split screen service process. Therefore, the efficiency of man-machine interaction can be improved, and the flexibility of man-machine interaction is improved. It should be noted that, in another possible implementation manner, the terminal may trigger the process of displaying the first window and binding the split-screen service process based on other types of operations. The triggering operation may also be a double-click operation or a hover operation, for example.

In the embodiment of the application, when the triggering operation is implemented on the first control in the interface, not only the first window containing the split-screen control can be triggered and displayed, but also the binding split-screen service process can be triggered. Therefore, the application data is preloaded, so that the application data is loaded by the split screen service process later, a data base is provided for split screen display of the subsequent terminal, and the split screen display efficiency is improved.

The corresponding procedure may be: and judging whether the application belongs to an application white list according to the identification of the application aiming at any one of the plurality of applications, and if the application belongs to the application white list, acquiring application data of the application. If the application does not belong to the application white list, judging whether the application belongs to the application black list according to the identification of the application, and if the application belongs to the application black list, discarding the application data of the application. If the application does not belong to the application white list or the application black list, judging whether the application supports split screen according to the split screen reference information of the application, and if the application supports split screen, acquiring application data of the application. If the application does not support split screen, the application data of the application is discarded.

In the above process, a way of implementing the preloading of application data by binding a split screen service process is provided. The application data of at least one second application installed by the terminal can be rapidly and efficiently loaded through the split-screen service process, so that split-screen display of the application can be realized by using the loaded application data later, and the split-screen display efficiency is improved. The method comprises the steps of storing application data of a plurality of applications in an application information base, acquiring application data of at least one second application meeting the split screen requirement from the application data of the plurality of applications, and loading the application data quickly so as to realize split screen display of the applications by using the loaded application data later. Wherein, two kinds of settings of split screen requirement are provided, the flexibility of split screen requirement setting has been improved. One of the requirements of split screen can be set to belong to an application white list, so that the application meeting the requirement of split screen is the application allowing split screen, the application allowing split screen display in the follow-up process can be ensured, and the accuracy of split screen display is ensured. In addition, the split screen requirement can be set to be that the split screen is supported by the application which does not belong to the application white list and the application black list, so that the application which meets the split screen requirement is the application which does not belong to any list but supports the split screen, and the accuracy of split screen display is ensured.

And S503 to S504, the terminal responds to the triggering operation of the first control, displays a first window and loads application data of at least one second application installed by the terminal. Thus, when the triggering operation is implemented on the first control in the interface, not only the first window containing the split screen control can be triggered and displayed, but also application data of at least one second application installed on the loading terminal can be triggered and loaded. Therefore, the application data is preloaded, and a data base is provided for the split-screen display of the subsequent terminal, so that the efficiency of the split-screen display is improved.

S505, the terminal registers an application monitor, and monitors whether a target event occurs to the terminal through the application monitor.

The application monitor is used for monitoring whether the terminal generates a target event or not so as to respond to the target event. In one possible implementation, the target event includes an application install event or an application uninstall event. It should be understood that the application installation event is an event in which a new application is installed on the terminal. Application uninstall events are events that uninstall installed applications on a terminal.

In one possible implementation, after storing the application data of the at least one second application to the target storage space based on S504, that is, storing the application data of the at least one second application to the storage space provided by the packet management service module, the terminal registers the application listener for the packet management service module so as to subsequently use the result listened by the application listener to perform data update on the application data stored in the storage space of the packet management service module (that is, the target storage space).

S506, under the condition that the terminal monitors that the target event occurs, the terminal updates the application data of the at least one second application according to the target event.

Wherein the data update refers to adding application data of a new application in case the terminal installs the new application and deleting application data of the application in case the terminal uninstalls the installed application.

Accordingly, the above-described data update process may include at least one of: in one possible implementation, the terminal adds application data of the newly installed application to application data of the at least one second application if it is monitored that the application installation event occurs at the terminal. Or, in another possible implementation manner, the terminal deletes the application data of the uninstalled application from the application data of the at least one second application in case that the terminal monitors that the application uninstallation event occurs.

Therefore, two data updating modes are provided, the application data of the new application is added under the condition that the terminal installs the new application, or the application data of the application is deleted under the condition that the terminal uninstalls the installed application, the application data of the new application can be added in time, the invalid application data can be cleaned in time, the application data can be updated in time, the efficiency of the subsequent split screen display is ensured, and meanwhile, the accuracy of the subsequent split screen display can be ensured.

Fig. 9 is a flowchart of data loading according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 9, taking an interaction process between the shortcut bar management module and the package management service module as an example, in a case where the shortcut bar management module is started for the first time after the user triggers the first control, the shortcut bar management module loads application data, such as an application name, an application icon, and whether window display is supported, of the at least one second application installed by the terminal, and stores the obtained application data of the at least one second application in a storage space of the package management service module. Meanwhile, after the shortcut bar management module is started for the first time, the shortcut bar management module registers an application monitor with the package management service module, and through the application monitor, application data of a new application can be added under the condition that the terminal installs the new application, and application data of the application can be deleted under the condition that the terminal uninstalls the installed application. In one possible implementation, the packet management service module may notify the shortcut bar management module of the data update process in response to the result monitored by the application monitor. It should be noted that, the above-mentioned data loading process and the process of registering the application listener are performed after the shortcut bar management module is started for the first time, for example, the data loading process and the process of registering the application listener may be performed simultaneously.

Further, in one possible implementation manner, the terminal may monitor whether the shortcut bar management module is in an idle state, and further, the terminal closes the shortcut bar management module in response to the duration of the shortcut bar management module in the idle state reaching a preset duration. Or, in another possible implementation manner, the terminal may monitor the memory of the terminal, and further, the terminal closes the shortcut bar management module in response to the memory of the terminal being less than or equal to the preset memory.

Wherein the idle state refers to a non-working state. The preset duration is a preset duration threshold, such as 10s, 30s or other duration threshold. The setting of the preset duration is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The terminal memory refers to the operation memory of the terminal, and specifically refers to the residual memory during program operation. The preset memory is a preset memory threshold, such as 10GB, 20GB, or other memory threshold. The setting of the preset memory is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can monitor whether the shortcut bar management module is in an idle state or not and monitor the memory of the terminal, and the terminal can exit timely when the shortcut bar management module is not used for a long time or the memory is insufficient, so that the memory can be effectively saved. Further, in one possible implementation, the shortcut bar management module is restarted when the split screen display is triggered next time, so that the shortcut bar management module is utilized to reload data. In general, in any process of triggering split screen display, the shortcut bar management module needs to be restarted to reload data by using the shortcut bar management module. Particularly, if the interval duration of the two split screen displays is shorter, the condition that the shortcut bar management module is always in the starting state may occur.

In the above embodiment, a way of data updating of application data by registering an application listener is provided. The application monitor is registered on the terminal, so that the monitoring of the terminal can be realized, the application data of the new application can be added under the condition that the new application is installed on the terminal, and the application data of the application can be deleted under the condition that the installed application is uninstalled on the terminal, the timely updating of the application data is realized, and the accuracy of the subsequent split screen display can be ensured while the efficiency of the subsequent split screen display is ensured. Compared with the related art, the split screen selector responsible for split screen display is not a resident process, so that the loaded application can be changed due to the influence of application installation, application uninstallation or black-and-white list update, and the like, and the problem of low split screen display efficiency can occur. In the embodiment of the application, the application monitor is registered to the packet management service module, and the shortcut bar management module is utilized to update the application data in time, so that the problem of low split screen display efficiency can be solved.

Note that the process shown in S505 to S506 described above is an optional step. In one possible implementation, after loading the application data of the at least one second application installed by the terminal based on S503, the terminal does not need to perform S505 to S506, but S507.

S507, the terminal receives triggering operation of the split screen control by a user.

S508, the terminal responds to the triggering operation of the split screen control, and displays the interface of the first application and the identification of the at least one second application in a split screen mode according to the loaded application data of the at least one second application.

In one possible implementation manner, the triggering operation of the split screen control may be a clicking operation, and accordingly, the terminal responds to the clicking operation of the split screen control and displays the interface of the first application and the identifier of the at least one second application in a split screen manner according to the application data of the at least one second application. The click operation may be an operation performed by a user based on an external connection device (e.g., mouse, stylus), or may be a click operation performed by a user in a touch screen of a terminal using a finger, for example. The specific implementation of the clicking operation in the embodiments of the present application is not limited.

In another possible implementation manner, the triggering operation of the split screen control may be a long-press operation or a double-click operation, and accordingly, the terminal responds to the long-press operation or the double-click operation of the split screen control, and displays the interface of the first application and the identification of the at least one second application in a split screen mode according to the application data of the at least one second application.

In the process, three modes of clicking operation, long-press operation or double-click operation are provided to trigger the terminal to display the interface of the first application and the identifier of the at least one second application in a split screen mode, so that the efficiency of man-machine interaction can be improved, and the flexibility of man-machine interaction is improved. It should be noted that, in another possible implementation manner, the terminal may trigger the execution of the process of displaying the interface of the first application and the identifier of the at least one second application through the split screen based on other types of operations. The triggering operation may also be, for example, a hover operation or a slide operation (e.g., sliding to center it), etc.

In one possible implementation manner, the process of split-screen display may be: and the terminal displays the interface of the first application in a first display area, and displays the identification of the at least one second application in a second display area.

Wherein the identification of the second application may include an application name and an application icon of the second application. In one possible implementation, the terminal obtains, from the application data of the at least one second application, an identification of the at least one second application for display.

Correspondingly, the split screen display process is as follows: and the terminal displays an interface of the first application in a first display area, and displays an application name and an application icon of the at least one second application in a second display area.

For example, the first display area may be a left area of the screen or display screen and the second display area may be a right area of the screen or display screen. Correspondingly, the split screen display process is as follows: the terminal displays an interface of the first application in a left area of the screen or display screen, and displays an application name and an application icon of the at least one second application in a right area of the screen or display screen. Alternatively, the first display area may be an upper area of the screen or display screen and the second display area may be a lower area of the screen or display screen. Correspondingly, the split screen display process is as follows: the terminal displays an interface of the first application in an upper area of the screen or the display screen, and displays an application name and an application icon of the at least one second application in a lower area of the screen or the display screen.

Exemplary, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a split screen display according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that, after receiving the triggering operation of the split screen control in the interface shown in fig. 7 by the user, referring to fig. 10, in response, the terminal may split screen display the interface of the first application and the application name and the application icon of the at least one second application, that is, display the interface of the first application in the left area 1001 of the screen shown in fig. 10, and display the application name and the application icon of the at least one second application in the right area 1002 of the screen shown in fig. 10. The left area 1001 may be the first display area, and the right area 1002 may be the second display area.

Further, the terminal may select an application satisfying the priority recommendation condition from the at least one second application, and further, in the second display area, preferentially display the application satisfying the priority recommendation condition for the user.

Wherein, the application meeting the priority recommendation condition may include at least one of the following: the method comprises the steps of applying split screen display last time, applying split screen display times larger than preset times, and applying user-defined priority split screen display.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal displays the identifier of the application meeting the priority recommendation condition in an area above the second display area, and displays the identifier of the at least one second application in an area below the second display area.

For example, referring to fig. 10, in a recommended application region 10021 in a right region 1002 of the screen shown in fig. 10, an identification of an application satisfying a priority recommendation condition is displayed, and in an application region 10022 supporting split screen in the right region 1002 of the screen shown in fig. 10, an identification of the at least one second application is displayed. The recommended application area 10021 may be the upper area, and the application area 10022 supporting split screen may be the lower area. Therefore, by selecting the application meeting the priority recommendation condition, the application which is possibly interested in the application can be displayed for the user, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In one possible implementation manner, after receiving the triggering operation of the split screen control by the user, the terminal may further determine whether the application data of the at least one second application is loaded completely, and then perform split screen display when the loading is completed. Accordingly, S508 may be replaced by: and the terminal responds to the triggering operation of the split screen control, and the application data of the at least one second application is loaded, and the interface of the first application and the identification of the at least one second application are displayed in a split screen mode according to the application data of the at least one second application.

The above procedure is described for an example in which the application data has been loaded. In another possible implementation manner, the terminal responds to the triggering operation of the split screen control, but the application data of the at least one second application is not loaded, waits for the application data of the at least one second application to be loaded, and then executes the step of split screen display.

In this way, after the triggering operation of the user on the split screen control is received, whether the application data of the at least one second application is loaded is judged, the split screen display is directly performed under the condition that the loading is completed, the loading is waited to be completed under the condition that the loading is not completed, and then the process of the split screen display is executed, so that the accuracy of the subsequent split screen display can be ensured while the efficiency of the subsequent split screen display is ensured.

S509, the terminal receives triggering operation of the user on the identifier of the third application in the identifiers of the at least one second application.

The third application is used for referring to the application to be split-screen displayed selected by the user.

S510, the terminal responds to the triggering operation of the identification of the third application, and the interface of the first application and the interface of the third application are displayed in a split screen mode.

Wherein the triggering operation of the identification of the third application may be any one of a click operation, a long press operation, or a double click operation.

In one possible implementation manner, the process of split-screen display may be: and the terminal displays the interface of the first application in the first display area, and displays the interface of the third application in the second display area.

For example, the first display area may be a left area of the screen or display screen and the second display area may be a right area of the screen or display screen. Correspondingly, the split screen display process is as follows: the terminal displays the interface of the first application in the left area of the screen or display screen, and displays the interface of the third application in the right area of the screen or display screen. Alternatively, the first display area may be an upper area of the screen or display screen and the second display area may be a lower area of the screen or display screen. Correspondingly, the split screen display process is as follows: the terminal displays the interface of the first application in the upper area of the screen or the display screen, and displays the interface of the third application in the lower area of the screen or the display screen.

Exemplary, fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of a split screen display according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that, after receiving the triggering operation of the user on the identifier of the third application in the interfaces shown in fig. 10, referring to fig. 11, in response, the terminal may display the interface of the first application and the interface of the third application in a split screen, that is, display the interface of the first application in the left area 1101 of the screen shown in fig. 11, and display the interface of the third application in the right area 1102 of the screen shown in fig. 11. The left area 1101 may be the first display area, and the right area 1102 may be the second display area.
