It is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

 Example 1  

In order to solve the problem that the interface elements of the terminal are changed according to the prior art, the method of setting the attribute value of the interface element is provided. The execution body of the method may be various applications installed by the user terminal, for example, an application (basic application) provided by the operating system of the user terminal, or other applications (third party applications) other than the basic application. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the description of the present invention. For the convenience of description, the embodiments of the present invention are described by taking an execution subject as a third-party application as an example.

It can be understood that the execution subject of the method is only an exemplary description of the third-party application, and should not be construed as limiting the method.

As shown in FIG. 1a, a specific implementation flowchart of a method for setting an attribute value of the interface element according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps: Step 11: A third-party application receives an attribute value setting message, where the attribute value is In the setup message, you can generally include attribute values. In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of attribute values included in the message is not limited.

The attribute value included in the message may be at least one of a color value, a brightness value, and a transparency value.

The attribute value contained in the message can be used to assign values to the attributes of the interface element. The attribute is generally an attribute related to a display effect, such as at least one of color, brightness, and transparency. Assigning an attribute of an interface element, such as, but not limited to, assigning an attribute of a picture as a background image of the interface element. The size and shape of the image can be set according to the expected display effect of the interface element. The image can be a bitmap or a vector. The image may or may not have a texture feature or a shape feature, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The interface element may be, for example, but not limited to, at least one of a button element including a button, a title, a toolbar, a selection box, a switch, a slider, a progress bar, or an input box, which can be used as a background by the picture to achieve a predetermined display effect.

The attribute value setting message may be sent by the operating system or sent by other applications to the third-party application. The attribute value setting message may be sent by broadcast or directed to a third party application. The attribute value setting message may include an identifier of the third-party application, so that the third-party application can determine, according to the identifier, that it can respond to the attribute value setting message.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the attribute value setting message may be generated by a preset interface provider. The interface provider can provide an interface element property adjustment interface (the name of the interface can be COLOR_CHANGE). Once the interface provided by the interface provider is invoked, the interface provider generates an attribute value setting message including the attribute value; then, the interface provider can invoke the message to send the first interface (the name of the interface can be For updateConfigruation), send a property value setting message to the operating system. And the operating system can call the message sending second interface (the name of the interface can be onConfigruationChange/onCreate), and send the attribute value setting message to the third party application.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the attribute value setting message may also be generated by the operating system. For example, the operating system can generate an attribute value setting message triggered by a specified trigger condition. The specified triggering condition may be, for example, receiving a wallpaper setting instruction, or receiving a theme setting instruction, or receiving an attribute value adjustment notification sent by the server. It should be noted that the theme setting instruction may be triggered by the user selecting a theme setting option provided by the user terminal.

The theme setting options may be operable options set for different color themes. The user can operate the option, such as executing a click command or a gesture command, to trigger the theme setting instruction.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the operating system may generate an attribute value setting message including the attribute value according to the preset attribute value or the acquired attribute value. Taking the attribute value as the transparency value, the operating system can obtain the preset transparency value, and according to the obtained transparency value, generate an attribute value setting message including the transparency value; taking the attribute value as a color value, the operating system can The target color value is determined according to at least one of the following information, and an attribute value setting message including the target color value is generated according to the determined target color value: a specified picture; a specified event; a color value selected by the user.

The picture generally refers to a picture that can be used for the background picture of the interface element. The size and shape of the image can be set based on the expected display of the interface element. The image can be a bitmap or a vector. The image may or may not have a texture feature or a shape feature, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

The following describes how the operating system determines the target color value based on at least one of the above information:

1. Determine the target color value according to the specified picture.

The specified picture may be any picture saved locally by the user terminal. For example, it may be a wallpaper currently used by the user terminal, or may be a certain picture specified by the user.

The wallpaper may be a desktop wallpaper, a lock screen wallpaper, or the like.

For a certain picture specified by the user, the picture may be, for example, a certain picture determined by the user terminal in response to the received picture selection instruction. The picture selection instruction may be, for example, a click command or a gesture instruction for the picture.

The specified picture may be a bitmap. When the specified picture is a bitmap, each pixel of the specified picture has a color value, and the color value of the pixel may also be referred to as a pixel color value. Each pixel color value may be, but is not limited to, represented by one or more Red Green Blue (RGB) arrays, or represented by one or more parameter values determined from the RGB array, and the like.

The target color value may be at least one color value determined according to a pixel color value of the specified picture. Specifically, the user terminal may determine a certain pixel color value of the specified picture as the target color value; or the user terminal may calculate an average value of all pixel color values of the specified picture, and the average value Determining as the target color value; or, the user terminal may further count the number of pixels having different color values in the specified picture, and use the color value corresponding to the largest number of all the counted numbers as the target color value; Alternatively, the user terminal may further determine a pixel color value for indicating a dominant color of the specified picture, and determine the pixel color value as a target color value;

The pixel color value of the specified picture may be, but is not limited to, obtained by the user terminal by sampling the color value of the pixel of the specified picture.

Among them, the above "primary color tone" indicates a basic tendency of color appearance. Specifically, although a picture uses a variety of colors, the picture has a tendency in color overall, such as bluish or reddish, warm or cold, etc. The basic tendency of color appearance is a picture. The main color of the picture. Generally, the main color is divided from the warm and cold side, and there may be "warm tone", "cold tone" and "middle tone". Generally, red, orange, and yellow indicate warm colors; green, blue, and black indicate cool colors; and gray, purple, and white indicate intermediate colors. The higher the brightness of the cool color, the warmer the overall feeling, the higher the brightness of the warm color, the colder the overall feeling.

2. Determine the target color value based on the specified event.

The specified event mentioned here may be, for example, an event related to time, such as the arrival of a holiday, or the arrival of a user's birthday, etc.; or, may be an event occurring at the user terminal, such as receiving a designated contact by the user terminal. Short message, user terminal to make an order payment or user terminal to obtain forecast information of a specified type of weather (such as sunny or cloudy days), and the like.

When the specified event currently exists, the color value mapped to the currently existing specified event may be determined as the target color value according to the mapping relationship between each specified event and the color value.

3. Determine the target color value according to the color value selected by the user.

For example, a color value interface including at least two colors may be displayed; subsequently, the corresponding color value is determined as the target color value according to the user's selection of the color included in the displayed color value interface.

Step 12: The third-party application sets the attribute value of the interface element of the third-party application according to the attribute value set by the attribute value.

The third-party application can directly set the attribute value of the interface element of the third-party application according to the attribute value setting attribute value of the message; or the third-party application can determine whether the attribute value included in the message can be set according to the attribute value, and the interface of the third-party application is set. The attribute of the element; when the judgment result is yes, set the attribute value contained in the message according to the attribute value, and set the attribute of the interface element of the third-party application; otherwise, it may refuse to set the attribute value included in the message according to the attribute value, and set the interface of the third-party application. The attribute of the element -- for example, the message can be set by discarding the attribute value, thereby deny the attribute assignment of the interface element of the third-party application based on the attribute value contained in the message.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the third-party application may use, but is not limited to, any one of the following methods to determine whether the attribute value of the interface element of the third-party application is set according to the attribute value set by the attribute value setting message:

The first method: the third-party application obtains the pre-set and saved interface element attribute adjustment rule, and determines whether the rule allows the third-party application to set the attribute of the interface element according to the attribute value of the attribute value setting message; if yes, the determination can The attribute of the interface element is set according to the attribute value; if not, it is determined that the attribute of the interface element cannot be set according to the attribute value.

The rules can be set by the developer of the third party application and saved in the database of the third party application.

The second method: the third-party application determines whether the attribute value included in the attribute value setting message is applicable to the interface element of the third-party application; if yes, determines that the attribute of the interface element can be set according to the attribute value; if not, then It is determined that the attribute of the interface element cannot be set according to the attribute value.

For example, the attribute value setting message may include an interface element identifier mapped to the attribute value in addition to the attribute value. In this case, after the third-party application receives the attribute value setting message, whether there is an interface element identifier that is the same as the interface element identifier of the third-party application in the interface element identifier included in the attribute value setting message. If the determination result is that, it may be determined that the attribute of the interface element may be set according to the attribute value included in the attribute value setting message; if the determination result is not present, it is determined that the attribute of the interface element cannot be set according to the attribute value.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the identifier of the interface element included in the attribute value setting message may be an interface element identifier set in advance according to an interface function corresponding to the interface element. For example, interface elements of different applications may be sorted and determined, such as title areas, control areas, toolbars, and the like, corresponding to different interface functions; after that, different interface element identifiers may be set for these interface elements. In this way, it is possible to identify the interface elements that correspond to different interface functions by different interface elements.

Take the interface of APP1 and APP2 shown in Figure 1b as an example. The area numbered 1 is the title area; the area numbered 2 is the control area; the area numbered 3 is the toolbar. The interface element identifiers set for these regions can be HEAD, MAIN, and TOOLBAR, respectively.

It should be noted that, according to the prior art, in order to realize the adjustment of the attributes related to the display effect of the interface elements, the designer needs to design separately for each application. The specific design content includes: setting identifiers for different areas of the application interface, and establishing a mapping relationship between identifiers and resources. Subsequent developers package the mappings and resources into the theme package. The disadvantage of this way is that the amount of work that designers and developers need to accomplish is very large; in addition, if the interface of the application is adjusted, the original identifier may be invalid, and the mapping relationship set by the designer is invalid. The designer needs to reset the mapping between identifiers and resources, that is, the theme package needs to be upgraded.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the designer does not need to establish a mapping relationship between the identifier and the resource, but adopts a manner of setting the interface element identifier for different regions of the application interface. Based on the interface element identifier set by the interface element, the application may determine whether the attribute of the interface element can be set according to the attribute value included in the attribute value setting by using the second method described above, and if so, may be set according to the attribute value. The attribute value contained in the message assigns a value to the attribute of the interface element of the application.

Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention adopts a method for setting interface element identifiers for different regions of the interface, which can simplify the design and development work and save human resources under the premise of realizing the adjustment of the attribute values of the interface elements.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the attribute value included in the message is set according to the attribute value, and the implementation manner of assigning the attribute of the interface element of the third-party application can be flexible and diverse.

For example, the third-party application may directly assign the attribute value included in the attribute setting message to some or all of the interface elements of the third-party application; or calculate the attribute value according to the attribute value and the preset attribute value first mapping rule. Other attribute values that are mapped, and assign values to attributes of some or all of the interface elements of the third-party application based on the calculated other attribute values.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the attribute mapping first mapping rule may be a simple one-to-one mapping relationship, or may be a complex calculation formula, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when the attribute value setting message includes at least two attribute values, setting the attribute value of the message according to the attribute value, and setting the attribute of the interface element of the third-party application may include:

The third-party application selects an attribute value from the at least two attribute values, and assigns a value to the attribute of the interface element of the application according to the selected attribute value. The third-party application may directly assign the selected attribute value to the attribute of the interface element of the application; or the third-party application may calculate the selected attribute value mapping according to the selected attribute value and the preset attribute value second mapping rule. Other attribute values, and assign values to some or all of the interface elements of the third-party application based on the calculated other attribute values.

In the embodiment, the attribute setting message may include the attribute value in addition to the attribute value, in order to make the attribute of the interface element be assigned. The interface element identifier of the phase map. That is, in the attribute setting message, interface elements respectively mapped by different attribute values may be specified, for example, the attribute value "blue" mapping interface element "control", the attribute value "white" mapping interface element "title bar", etc. .

Under such conditions, the third-party application may select the attribute value from the attribute values included in the attribute setting message according to the interface element identifier of the third-party application. The selected attribute value is satisfied: the interface element identifier in the mapped attribute setting message is the same as the interface element identifier of the third-party application. Afterwards, the third-party application can assign a value to the attribute of the interface element of the third-party application that has the corresponding interface element identifier according to the selected attribute value.

For example, if the third-party application selects the attribute value "blue" and the "blue" mapping attribute sets the identifier "KJ" in the message, the third-party application can identify the third-party application according to "blue". The attributes of the interface elements of KJ are assigned. Specifically, if it is assumed that the interface element of the third-party application having the identifier "KJ" is a control, the third-party application can assign "blue" to the attribute of the control of the third-party application.

When the attribute setting message includes an interface element identifier that is mapped to the attribute value, if the third-party application has an interface element corresponding to each interface element identifier included in the attribute setting message, the third party application The application may also not filter the attribute value in the attribute setting message, but directly assign the attribute value of the interface element corresponding to the third party application corresponding to the interface element identifier included in the attribute setting message according to the attribute value included in the attribute setting message. .

In the embodiment of the present invention, the interface element identifier may be an interface element identifier set according to a function of the interface element as described above, or may be another identifier used to represent the interface element.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to receiving the attribute value setting message, the third-party application may also forward the received attribute value setting message to other applications, so that other applications determine whether to set the attribute in the message according to the attribute value. A value that assigns an attribute to the interface element of the other application. For example, the third-party application may send an attribute value setting message to other applications by sending a second interface onConfigruationChange/onCreate by calling the message described above.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the numbers are set for each step in order to describe the steps in a structured manner, and the order of the steps is not limited, that is, the number set for each step in the embodiment of the present invention cannot be It is considered a feature that limits the order in which steps are performed.

According to the foregoing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, since the application can receive the attribute value setting message, the attribute of the interface element is set according to the attribute value in the attribute value setting message, and the resource package is not required to be downloaded and loaded, thereby avoiding changing the terminal. The interface elements cause the problem that the terminal consumes more resources.

In addition, after the application obtains the attribute value, it can decide whether to assign the attribute or decide which interface element attributes to assign.

It can be seen that if a new application expects to adjust the attribute value, it can be freely added; or, if there is an application expecting to reject the adjustment of the attribute value, it can be implemented very flexibly.

 Example 2  

In order to solve the problem that the interface elements of the terminal are changed according to the prior art, the method of setting the attribute value of the interface element is provided. The execution body of the method may be an operating system of the user terminal; or various applications installed on the user terminal, such as a base application or a third party application. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments of the present invention. For the convenience of description, the embodiments of the present invention are described by taking an execution subject as an operating system as an example.

It can be understood that the execution subject of the method is only an exemplary description of the operating system, and should not be construed as limiting the method.

As shown in FIG. 2, a specific implementation flowchart of a method for setting an attribute value of the interface element according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps: Step 21: The operating system obtains an attribute value setting message; The adjustment, the attribute value setting message may contain an attribute value that can be assigned to the attribute. The attribute is generally an attribute related to a display effect, such as at least one of color, brightness, and transparency.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of attribute values included in the message is not limited.

The attribute value included in the message may be at least one of a color value, a brightness value, and a transparency value.

The operating system obtains the attribute value setting message, which may include: the operating system generates an attribute value setting message, or the operating system receives the attribute value setting message.

For the former implementation, for example, the operating system can generate an attribute value setting message triggered by the specified trigger condition. The specified triggering condition may be, for example, receiving a wallpaper setting instruction, or receiving a theme setting instruction, or receiving an attribute value adjustment notification sent by the server. It should be noted that the theme setting instruction may be triggered by the user selecting a theme setting option provided by the user terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the operating system may generate an attribute value setting message including the attribute value according to the preset attribute value or the acquired attribute value. Taking the attribute value as a color value, the operating system can determine the target color value and generate an attribute value setting message including the target color value according to the determined target color value.

The target color value referred to herein may be, but is not limited to, determined based on at least one of a specified picture, a specified event, and a color value selected by the user. For details, refer to the related description in Embodiment 1, and details are not described herein again.

For the latter implementation in which the operating system obtains the attribute value setting message, for example, the attribute value setting message can be generated by a preset interface provider. The interface provider can provide the interface element property adjustment interface COLOR_CHANGE. Once the interface provided by the interface provider is invoked, the interface provider generates an attribute value setting message containing the attribute value; then, the interface provider can invoke the message sending the first interface updateConfigruation to send to the operating system. Property value setting message.

Alternatively, the attribute value setting message may be sent by the server to the operating system.

Step 22: The operating system sends an attribute value setting message, so that the receiver application of the attribute value setting message assigns an attribute of the interface element according to the attribute value included in the message.

The attribute value setting message may be sent by means of broadcast, or may be sent by means of directional transmission to the receiver.

The receiver application can directly set the attribute value of the interface element of the third-party application according to the attribute value setting attribute value of the message; or the receiver application can determine whether the attribute value of the message element can be set according to the attribute value, and the attribute of the interface element is set; When the judgment result is yes, the attribute value included in the message is set according to the attribute value, and the attribute of the interface element is set. Otherwise, the attribute value included in the message setting object may be rejected according to the attribute value, and the attribute of the interface element is set--for example, the attribute may be discarded. The value sets the message, thereby implementing a refusal to assign a value to the attribute of the interface element based on the attribute value contained in the message.

For details on how to determine the attribute of the interface element according to the attribute value, refer to the related description of how to perform the judgment on the first application in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and details are not described herein; For an application, how to assign an attribute of an interface element according to the attribute value, and how to assign a value to the attribute of the interface element according to the attribute value in the first embodiment of the present invention, Narration.

Similar to the related description in Embodiment 1, the attribute value setting message may include an interface element identifier mapped to the attribute value in addition to the attribute value. For the function of the interface element identifier, refer to the related description in Embodiment 1, and details are not described herein again.

The setting manner of the interface element may include the following steps: determining the function of different interface elements in the application interface; setting the same interface element identifier for the interface elements having the same function, and setting the interface element identifier for the interface having different functions. Different ways to set the interface element identifier for different interface elements in the application interface.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, after the operating system sends the attribute value setting message, if the receiver application assigns the attribute of the interface element by using the attribute value in the attribute value setting message, the operating system may also record the utilization by the receiver application. The attribute value in the attribute value setting message, and the interface element identifier corresponding to the attribute assigned by the receiver application using the attribute value in the attribute value setting message. Therefore, the subsequent operating system can use the recorded attribute value used by the receiving application to specify the interface element of the corresponding receiving party application for the recorded interface element under the specified triggering condition. In this way, it is possible to assign an interface element to the receiver application by the operating system.

According to the foregoing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, since the attribute setting message is sent to the application, the application sets the attribute of the interface element according to the attribute value in the attribute value setting message, and does not need to download and load the resource package, thereby avoiding Changing the interface elements of the terminal leads to the problem that the terminal consumes more resources.

 Example 3  

The embodiment 3 of the present invention mainly provides a method for setting the color value of the interface element of the application in combination with the actual situation, and is used to describe the specific implementation manner of the method provided by the embodiment 1 and the embodiment 2 of the present invention.

In the third embodiment of the present invention, assuming that APP1 and APP2 are installed in the user terminal, the operating system (System) sends a color value setting message to APP1 and APP2 after receiving the wallpaper setting instruction (corresponding to the attribute value setting described above). The message flow chart of the method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention is as shown in FIG. 3, and includes the following steps:

In step 31, the user selects an image from the locally saved image as a desktop wallpaper by using the desktop wallpaper setting application, and the user selects the image as the operation of the desktop wallpaper, so that the desktop wallpaper setting application receives the image. Desktop wallpaper setting instructions.

In step 32, the desktop wallpaper setting application responds to the desktop wallpaper setting instruction to set the image as a desktop wallpaper. In addition, the desktop wallpaper setting application calls the COLOR_CHANGE interface provided by the DynController shown in FIG.

In step 33, the DynController responds to the call of the desktop wallpaper setting application for the COLOR_CHANGE interface, and determines the first color value according to the pixel color value of the image currently being the desktop wallpaper.

The first color value is at least one color value determined according to a pixel color value of the image. Specifically, the DynController may determine one or several pixel color values of the image as the first color value; or, the DynController may also calculate the mean value of all the pixel color values of the image, and determine the mean as The first color value; or, the DynController may also count the number of pixels having different color values in the image, and use the color value corresponding to the maximum number of all the counted numbers as the first color value; or, DynController A pixel color value for indicating a dominant color of the image may also be determined, and the pixel color value is determined to be a first color value;

In the embodiment of the present invention, the pixel color value of the image may be, but is not limited to, obtained by the DynController by sampling the color value of the pixel of the image.

Among them, the above "primary color tone" indicates a basic tendency of color appearance. Specifically, although an image uses a plurality of colors, the image generally has a tendency in color, such as being bluish or reddish, being warm or cold, etc., and the basic tendency of color appearance is The primary color of an image. Generally, the main color is divided from the warm and cold side, and there may be "warm tone", "cold tone" and "middle tone". Generally, red, orange, and yellow indicate warm colors; green, blue, and black indicate cool colors; and gray, purple, and white indicate intermediate colors. The higher the brightness of the cool color, the warmer the overall feeling, the higher the brightness of the warm color, the colder the overall feeling.

In step 34, the DynController generates a color value setting message according to the first color value.

In the embodiment of the present invention, generating a color value setting message according to the first color value may include: directly generating a color value setting message including the first color value; or determining the first color value according to the first color value. A second color value of the phase map and a color value setting message containing the second color value.

For the latter implementation, in a practical application, a preset number of color value sets may be set, and a mapping relationship between each color value set and a different color value range (hereinafter referred to as a first mapping relationship) may be established. Each color value set includes at least one color value; each color value set includes a color value corresponding to the second color value; a collection of each color value set may be referred to as a system Guideline chromatography.
