  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a technical configuration of an embodiment of the invention will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in an embodiment of the invention. Of course, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without ingenuity are intended to be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

  According to an embodiment of the present invention, another application interface is simultaneously presented on the currently opened application interface in order to improve the flexibility of interaction between the applications installed on the device and thus improve the user experience. Thus, a split screen display of a plurality of application interfaces is realized. For example, two applications on the device can be displayed, the photo gallery and camera interface, and the other module can be accessed at any time in these two applications. In addition, a split screen display function of the camera and photo gallery interface, that is, a function of simultaneously performing shooting and photo checking operations is provided. In addition, in any embodiment of the present invention, “first” and “second” are only used to distinguish different applications for ease of explanation.

  The technical configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other. Details of the same or similar concepts or processes may be omitted in some embodiments.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of Embodiment 1 of a method for displaying an application interface according to the present invention. This embodiment of the invention provides a method for displaying an application interface. The method may be performed using a device that displays an application interface. The device is incorporated in an electronic device, and the electronic device can be any electronic device such as a personal computer (abbreviated PC), a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (abbreviated PDA), or a smartphone. It may be. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for displaying an application interface includes the following steps.

  S101. When displaying the interface corresponding to the first application, the electronic device acquires the first input operation of the user.

  The interface corresponding to the first application means the interface of the first application displayed on the device. The first input operation may be input directly by the user, and may be, for example, a slide operation, a tap operation, a multi-touch operation, a button input, a set position input, a touch-and-hold input, or a voice input. It may be a response made according to an action, for example, a gravity sensing operation such as a shake.

  For example, a camera framing interface is introduced into the interface corresponding to the photo gallery using a user's gesture trigger (eg, sliding down from the top of the list). In this scenario, the photo gallery is the first application, the camera is the second application, and the user's gesture trigger is the first input operation to be acquired.

  S102. When the first input operation described above is a first predetermined operation, an interface corresponding to the first application and an interface corresponding to the second application are simultaneously displayed according to preset correlation information. The correlation information is used to indicate that the second application is an application that correlates with the first application.

  There are one or more second applications. Specifically, after the first input operation input by the user is acquired in S101, an interface corresponding to the application is displayed in S102 according to the first input operation and preset correlation information. . This corresponds to three specific scenarios.

  First scenario: The presentation of the interface corresponding to the first application is continued.

  Second scenario: An interface corresponding to a second application is presented.

  Third scenario: An interface corresponding to the first application and an interface corresponding to the second application are presented simultaneously.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, there is a certain relationship between the first application and the second application. That is, the user may associate the function of the second application when using the first application. For example, contacts and calls, call and call history, shooting and photo gallery, short message service message and input method, photo gallery and prompt communication software, photo gallery and social networking application software, users use those applications together Very likely to do. Therefore, those applications are considered correlated.

  In addition, the application that correlates with the first application is preset or determined according to the usage history of the first application and the second application by the user. For example, the number of times that the electronic device performs an operation on the interface corresponding to the first application, switches to the interface corresponding to the second application, and then switches to the interface corresponding to the first application again. Record. When the number of times is greater than a predetermined value (for example, 5 times), the second application is automatically set as an application related to the first application. Alternatively, the user is prompted to input whether the second application needs to be set as an application correlated with the first application, and after the user's permission is obtained, the second application is referred to as the first application. Set as a correlated application.

  According to the embodiment of the present invention, an application to be presented on the screen is determined according to the first input operation of the user and preset correlation information on the currently opened application interface, and corresponds to the application. Interface is displayed. Therefore, smooth connection between applications is realized, and flexibility of interaction between applications installed in the electronic device is improved. In addition, an interface corresponding to each of the plurality of applications (the first application and / or the second application) is simultaneously displayed on the display device, so that the user experience can be improved.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, when the electronic device displays the interface corresponding to the first application and the interface corresponding to the second application at the same time according to the preset correlation information, the book displaying the application interface is displayed. The method further receives the user's second input operation on the interface corresponding to the second application, and communicates the first data determined by the second application according to the second input operation to the first application. Step 3 or receiving the user's third input operation for the interface corresponding to the first application, and transmitting the second data determined by the first application according to the third input operation to the second application Step It may be. As shown in this embodiment, when interfaces corresponding to a plurality of applications are displayed at the same time, in order to distinguish the multi-task display of the Android operating system (Android) and the iPhone operating system (Iphone Operation System, abbreviated to IOS), Further operations may be performed on the application. In addition, in order to distinguish the case where a plurality of applications are simultaneously displayed on the electronic device using the floating interface, data may be transmitted between the plurality of applications displayed at the same time. There may be a preset correlation between applications.

  Optionally, after the step of the second application communicating the first data to the first application according to the second input operation, the method for displaying the application interface further includes the step corresponding to the interface corresponding to the first application. Displaying one information, wherein the first information is the first data or information related to the first data. Alternatively, after the step of the first application communicating the second data to the second application according to the third input operation, the method of displaying the application interface further includes the second application to the interface corresponding to the second application. The second information may be the second data or information related to the second data.

  Based on the above-described embodiment, the present method for displaying an application interface is further configured such that when the first input operation is a second predetermined operation, the interface being displayed is changed to the first application according to preset correlation information. Switching from a corresponding interface to an interface corresponding to the second application. As this embodiment shows, when the first input operation is not the first predetermined operation, it is determined that the first input operation is the second predetermined operation. Further, the interface being displayed is switched from the interface corresponding to the first application to the interface corresponding to the second application. Therefore, switching of the application interface displayed on the display device, that is, switching from the interface corresponding to the first application to the interface corresponding to the second application is realized.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the first input operation is one or more of a slide operation, a tap operation, a multi-touch operation, a button input, a set position input, a touch and hold input, a voice input, a gravity sensing operation, and the like. It may be. Hereinafter, taking the case where the first input operation is a slide operation and an area scaling operation between a plurality of contact points in the interface as an example, how to determine and execute the interface display according to the first input operation Is described in detail.

  In one implementation, the slide operation may include a first slide operation, and the first input operation may be a first slide operation. When the first input operation is the first predetermined operation, the step of simultaneously displaying the interface corresponding to the first application and the interface corresponding to the second application in accordance with the preset correlation information includes: When the slide speed or slide distance corresponding to one slide operation is less than the first predetermined value, an interface corresponding to the first application and an interface corresponding to the second application are set according to preset correlation information. Displaying at the same time. Optionally, when the slide speed or slide distance corresponding to the first slide operation is equal to or greater than the first predetermined value, the displayed interface is changed from the interface corresponding to the first application according to the preset correlation information. And switching to an interface corresponding to the second application.

  In another implementation, the slide operation may include a second slide operation, and the second predetermined operation may be a second slide operation. When the first input operation is the second predetermined operation, the displayed interface is switched from the interface corresponding to the first application to the interface corresponding to the second application according to the preset correlation information. It is done.

  In still another embodiment, when the first input operation is a multi-touch operation and the first input operation is a first predetermined operation, an interface corresponding to the first application is set according to preset correlation information. And simultaneously displaying the interface corresponding to the second application, the distance between the contact points of the plurality of contact points gradually decreases, and the decrease value of the distance between the two contact points of the plurality of contact points Is equal to or greater than the first predetermined distance value, the interface corresponding to the first application and the interface corresponding to the second application are displayed simultaneously according to preset correlation information, or a plurality of contact points Among the plurality of contact points, and the increased value of the distance between the two contact points is the second predetermined distance. If it is more, according to the correlation information is set in advance, the step of displaying the interface simultaneously corresponding to the interface and a second application corresponding to the first application, may have.

  In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, regarding the simultaneous display of the interface corresponding to the first application and the interface corresponding to the second application, those skilled in the art will be able to display the interface corresponding to the first application and the first interface. It can be understood that the interface corresponding to the second application is displayed on the display device in a split screen mode. The split screen ratio between the interface corresponding to the first application and the interface corresponding to the second application on the display device (for example, a screen) is arbitrary. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a photo gallery is used as the first application, and a camera is used as the second application. The ratio of the split screen on the screen of the interface corresponding to the two applications is variable, and the user can set the ratio in real time according to personal preference.

  More specifically, in the interface corresponding to the photo gallery (first application) shown in FIG. 4, a slide-down operation (first slide operation) is detected. When the slide-down speed corresponding to the slide-down operation is less than the first predetermined value, the interface corresponding to the photo gallery and the interface corresponding to the camera (second application) are displayed simultaneously according to preset correlation information. Is done. Also, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the interface corresponding to the photo gallery and the interface corresponding to the camera are presented in a split screen mode. In addition, when a user takes a picture with the camera's framing interface, the photo may be fed back in real time to the bottom photo gallery preview area, and the user can tap the photo in the photo gallery to see a larger photo. When the slide-down speed corresponding to the slide-down operation is equal to or higher than the first predetermined value, it is determined that the first input operation is the second predetermined operation, and the displayed interface is determined according to the preset correlation information. The interface corresponding to the photo gallery is switched to the interface corresponding to the camera, and the interface corresponding to the camera is presented as shown in FIG. Depending on the size of the interface corresponding to the camera on the screen, the size of the photographed image may be determined. In the present embodiment, the user can access the camera interface and execute a corresponding shooting function by an up / down slide operation on the photo gallery interface. Similarly, the user can access the photo gallery interface and execute a corresponding photo display function by an up / down slide operation on the camera interface. Full integration of the two applications—camera and photo gallery—allows a generally smooth connection experience for the user. By simultaneously displaying the photo gallery interface and the local shooting interface, users can quickly take a photo or video, and experience what the photo gallery reflects in the results. Can do. The function of viewing a photo in the photo gallery and the function of local shooting are realized by performing a slide on the camera interface. By performing different slide operations on the camera interface, access to different photo gallery interfaces may be triggered. For example, access to the photo gallery interface in full screen photo mode may be triggered by performing a left slide operation on the camera interface. Access to the local shooting interface or the photo gallery interface may be triggered by performing a slide-up operation on the camera interface.

  As another example, a pull-down operation (first slide operation) is detected in the interface corresponding to the photo gallery shown in FIG. When the slide distance corresponding to the pull-down operation is less than the first predetermined value, the interface corresponding to the photo gallery and the interface corresponding to the camera are displayed at the same time according to the preset correlation information. As shown, the interface corresponding to the photo gallery and the interface corresponding to the camera are presented in a split screen format. When the slide down speed corresponding to the slide down operation is equal to or higher than the first predetermined value, the interface being displayed is switched from the interface application corresponding to the photo gallery to the interface corresponding to the camera according to the preset correlation information. As shown in FIG. 5, an interface corresponding to the camera is presented.
