Description

Android mobile device financial watch software status column shortcut key application device and method

The present invention relates to a mobile device, and more particularly to a state mobile phone shortcut key application device and method for an Android mobile device financial watch software.

According to the current operating system of the touch-enabled mobile device, it is divided into multi-tasking and single-tasking. The multi-work system allows the user to execute more than one application at the same time. And the application can be executed in the Background Mode, such as Google's Android operating system version 1.5 and 2.1. The simplex operating system only allows one application to be executed at a time, and the application cannot be executed in background mode, such as Apple's iPhone operating system versions 2.0 and 3.1. I saw the multiplexed Android mobile device when the financial watch software running on it was changed from the foreground mode (Foreground Mode) to the background mode, for example, when you want to make a call while watching the disk, temporarily turn the financial watch software into the background. Mode execution. After the call is over, the mobile device does not provide a shortcut key (Shortcut Key) for the user to switch the software to the foreground mode again. If the user wants to switch the financial mode software executed in the background mode to the foreground mode, You must click the icon (Icon) of the original financial watch software again. Or, when the market is fluctuating, the user temporarily plays a game on the mobile device (or uses other software), and the financial watch software is switched to the background mode execution, when the user wants to switch back to the watch software again (ie, From background mode to foreground mode) The icon of the original financial watch software must be clicked again. This mode of operation is extremely inconvenient for the user.

Please refer to the 1A to 1G diagrams. See the Android Mobile device's Home Screen view. The illustration is based on the HTC ("Hongda International Electronics") Hero mobile device running Android version 1.5. This mobile device is equipped with a user-created user interface ("HTC Sense"), so there are 7 pages on the home screen (other Android mobile device home screens are usually 3 to 5 pages, and there may be more pages in the future). The method of browsing the screens of the home page is scrolling left/right (sliding), sometimes by the mobile device manufacturer for the telecommunications industry (illustration, customized for this HTC as "Chunghwa Telecom") For example, the Android mobile device, so that a specific page is reserved for a specific application, the rest of the page can be used as a shortcut for the user to place the icon (Icon) as a shortcut to the desktop. Figure 1A shows the screen of the Home mobile device's Home view (View) 10, that is, when the user presses the physical button "Home" (not depicted) of the mobile device, the screen of the home screen is displayed. At the top of the view, the system status bar (status column 12) is used to display the status and information of the mobile device's software/hardware, such as time, battery power, status of the received signal, and data. Illustration such as connection mode. Such diagrams belonging to the "State" class are placed to the right of the status column 12, either in the operating system view (eg, 1A to 1I) or in other application views (eg, Figure 2A, 2B and 2C), usually the status column 12 is always displayed at the top of the Android mobile device, and some applications that use the full screen display hide the status column 12, such as the game program (not depicted), Album browsing program (not depicted)...etc. Below the status column 12 of the home page is a Widget (desktop widget) that displays time and weather, and below, the icon of the application is placed for shortcuts, due to the limited space in the middle screen of the homepage (illustration Only 8 application icons are placed in the space. This is related to the "subject" selected by the "HTC Hero" operating system "Settings". Some of the related "Themes" can only accommodate 4 intermediate screens. Application icons, such as "work topics", so usually only the most commonly used applications are shown here. The bottom position is three virtual buttons, and these virtual buttons are always displayed in most operating system views (such as the home view 10 and all program expanded views 16), including: all program expansion keys 14, "Phone dial key" and "Add to home screen key". Figure 1B shows the right screen view of the Android mobile device home page (the first screen on the right side of Figure 1A). The legend for this mobile device ("HTC Hero") presets this page as "Contact". The "Contact" is the primary information for mobile phone enquiries. Therefore, he will not be removed and the "Contact" will be displayed on the full page. Therefore, an application shortcut icon cannot be built here. The 1C figure is the second screen view of the Android mobile device home page (the second screen on the right side of Figure 1A). This page "HTC Hero" also presets some system-related settings shortcut icons and an "Android" The Market shortcut icon, in addition, users can place custom application shortcut icons here. The 1D picture shows the right three-screen view of the Android mobile device home page (ie, the third screen on the right side of Figure 1A), and the user can also customize the application shortcut icon on this page. Figure 1E shows the left-hand view of the Android mobile device home page (the first screen on the left side of Figure 1A). The mobile device ("HTC Hero") is the custom function of the partner. For example, the value-added service of the telecom operators, although the user can place a custom application shortcut icon below, the space is limited. The 1F map is the second left screen view of the Android mobile device home page (the second screen on the left side of Figure 1A). The mobile device in this illustration is to place a specific function on this page (the legend is a community application program "Plurk"). There is no space left to place the application shortcut icon. Finally, the 1G map is seen in the left three-screen view of the Android mobile device home page (ie, the third screen on the left side of Figure 1A). The mobile device also places a specific function on this page (the legend is a music player application). KKBOX"), there is no space left on this page to place the application shortcut icon. The content of each screen on the top page of the above page can be changed by changing the "subject" (ie, the theme) in the operating system "Setting" / "Personalization", and the default content of each screen, such as a preset Widget, preset The application icon and the number of icons that can be accommodated in the middle page middle picture. Users can also delete preset Widgets and applications, such as the above-mentioned Plurk / time and weather / contact / KKBOX ... (just press and hold the widget or the application for a few seconds, etc., and then appear as a red frame You can drag and drop to the trash can to remove).

Please refer to the 1H figure to see the screen position relationship of the home screen of the Android mobile device. This figure shows the positional relationship of the home screen (Home Screen) of the above 1A to 1G, and the switching operation method of each screen of the first page is touched. Control left/right scrolling (sliding).

Please refer to FIG. 1I, and all the programs expand the view 16, that is, the view expanded by the user after pressing all the program expansion keys 14 (as shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1G), and all the program expansion views 16 are included. An icon of the application (operating system built-in or user-supplied/installed) in all mobile devices, for example, clicking on the icon of financial watch software 18 and immediately opening the financial watch software 18 (as shown in Figure 2A, Figure 2B and Figure 2C show), while browsing all application icons is done by touch up/down scrolling (sliding) view.

Please refer to Figure 2A for a view of the self-selected quotation of the Android financial watch software, which illustrates the view in the financial watch software 18, such as the self-selected quotation view 20, the aforementioned status column 12 is still displayed at the top of the screen, to facilitate The user checks the time, battery power, data transmission status, etc. while watching the disc.

Please refer to Figure 2B for a look at the Android quotation software's optional quotation view and status column notification diagram. The only difference from the 2A diagram is that the technology uses Android Status Bar Notifications technology in the status column 12 A notification icon 22 is displayed to notify the user of a message, and such a graphic belonging to the "notification" class is placed on the left side of the status column 12. When a notification icon 22 is displayed on the status column 12, the user can click or click the pull down (slide) status column 12 to expand a notification expansion view 24 (as shown in FIG. 2C).

The 2C figure is a view of the Android mobile device notification expansion view, which shows that when the user clicks or clicks the drop-down (sliding) status column 12, the screen displays a Notification Expanded View 24. The view includes a notification message 26 for informing the user of the information to be noted, a clear notification button 28 for clearing the notification message 26, and a display 30 for scrolling up (sliding up) to expand the notification. 24 (ie, reply to the presentation of the previous view). The notice message 26 of the legend includes a software name and icon, "Financial Watch Software Account Login", "Test account will expire after 6 months" and a message notification time "12:00 PM".

I know that the Android status column notification technology is used in a background service (A status bar notification should be used for any case in which a background service needs to alert the User about an event that requires a response), for example, an account login event, an account is about to close the event, etc., to create a status column notification using a "Notification" category (Class) and a "NotificationManager" category, Its "Notification" category is used to define the nature of a status column notification instance (Instance). For example, the icon, the notification expansion view, and additional settings such as sound/vibration prompts; and the "NotificationManager" category is an Android System Service (System Service) for executing and managing notifications.

Figure 3 is a flow chart of the user operating the learning device. The process describes a common user operation situation, that is, the user temporarily calls the disk software to the background mode when the user wants to make a call while watching the disk. After the call ends, Then switch the background mode of the disk software to the foreground mode. Please also cooperate with FIG. 1A, FIG. 1D, FIG. 1I, FIG. 2A, FIG. 4A, and FIG. 4B, which illustrate the prior art operation flow by the specific operation flow after the program is started, and includes the following steps:

Step 101: Execute the financial watch software; that is, execute the financial watch software 18 on the Android mobile device. First, after opening the mobile device, enter the middle screen of the home page view 10 (as shown in FIG. 1A), and then press all the program expand button 14 to open a program expansion view 16 (as shown in FIG. 1I), and then, by using Touch Slide to find the icon of the financial watch software 18. Or, after opening the mobile device, enter the middle screen of the home page view 10 (as shown in Figure 1A) and then touch the slide to switch to the right three screens of the home view (as shown in Figure 1D), and click on the icon to execute The financial watch software 18, the final screen presents a top view of the financial watch software 18 (not depicted) for the user to operate.

Step 102: Operate the software; after executing the financial watch software 18, the user can start operating the software, for example, operating in a menu (not depicted) and switching to the self-selected quotation view 20 (as shown in FIG. 2A) to view the quotation information.

Step 103: Make a call; when the user wants to make a call and does not want to end the financial watch software 18, the financial watch software 18 must be temporarily placed in the background mode, and the physical button "Home" is directly pressed. Go to the middle screen of the mobile device home view 10 (as shown in Figure 1A). Then, press the "telephone" virtual button to open a call view 32 (as shown in Figure 4A). The call view 32 contains a set of "virtual keyboard number keys", "recent call list", "virtual" The keyboard display button, the "call button" and the "join address button", the user can press the number keys of the virtual keyboard to dial the phone number, or expand the "address book" (not depicted) and directly dial the contact in the address book. People call. Immediately after the call is dialed, the in-call view 34 (shown in Figure 4B) is displayed, which is displayed in the call view 34 and includes "virtual keyboard expand button", "end call button", "contact button", caller ID Caller ID and talk time timer (usually to save screen power consumption, the system automatically turns off the screen backlight automatically after a few seconds of starting the call, and automatically turns on the screen backlight after the call ends), while the status column above the view 12 adds a notification icon 22 in an incoming call. After the call ends, the user presses the "end call button" (or the call partner ends the call) to close the call view 34 and return to the previous view.

Step 104: Perform the financial watch software again; after the call ends, automatically return to the middle view of the previous view-the mobile device home view 10 (as shown in FIG. 1A), if the user wants to switch back to the financial watch software 18 To view the quotation information, you need to perform the financial watch software 18 again in the same way as step 101, in order to switch the financial watch software 18 executed in the background mode to the foreground mode. This example is already in the mobile device home view after the call is finished. In the middle screen of 10, there is no need to press the physical button "Home", and all the program expansion keys 14 are directly pressed to open a program expansion view 16, and then the user slides up/down to find the financial watch. The icon of the software 18; or, the touch slides to switch to the right three screens of the home view (as shown in FIG. 1D), and clicks on the icon to execute the financial watch software 18.

Step 105: View the quotation information; after the financial watch software 18 is switched to the foreground mode, the screen displays the view of the financial watch software 18 before entering the background mode, that is, the self-selected quotation view 20, as shown in FIG. 2A, the user is You can start to view the quote information.

In the above steps 103 and 104, after the user ends the call, the financial watch software 18 is still executed in the background mode. Because the technology is in the status column 12, the lack of a financial watch software shortcut key (Shortcut Key) cannot be performed. Let the user quickly switch the background mode financial watch software 18 back to foreground mode execution. Therefore, at step 104, the user needs to repeat the operation of step 101 to execute the financial watch software 18 again. Similar user operation scenarios often occur, such as the other example mentioned above. When the user watches the disc and the financial market fluctuations are small, temporarily switching to other software or playing games causes the financial watch software 18 to turn into the background mode. Execution, when you want to watch the disc again (switch the background mode financial watch software 18 back to the foreground mode), but because of the lack of a shortcut button for the status column 12, the user needs to open the software again (like the steps 101) Execute the financial watch software 18, which is inconvenient for the user's operation.

Although the technology can also place a financial watch software 18 shortcut icon in the middle view of the home page view 10 (as shown in Figure 1A), let the user click to quickly switch (ie, step 104), but the home page view 10 The intermediate screen space is limited, and the application icons preset by the mobile device are usually placed, as well as the commonly used application icons, so that the space is full. Therefore, only the financial watch software 18 shortcut icon can be placed on the other screen of the home page view 10 (as shown in FIG. 1D). However, it is inconvenient for the user to place the touch screen on the other screens of the home page view 10, that is, when the user operates. Moreover, even if there is extra space in the middle screen of the top view 10 (as shown in FIG. 1A), a shortcut screen for the financial watch software 18 is placed, so that the user can click to quickly switch in step 104, but still cannot solve the problem. The lack of a status column shortcut to remind the user that the software is still in execution.

In summary, the prior art Android mobile device financial watch software fails to provide a shortcut key for the user to switch from the background mode to the foreground mode in the status column. Therefore, when the financial watch software is executed in the background mode, it is not easy for the user to switch the financial watch software back to the foreground mode to perform its operation. When the background mode is executed, the lack of a status column shortcut key reminds the user that the software is still being executed, so that the user can easily forget the financial watch software that is still being executed, and the financial watch software executed in the background mode continues to be used. Mobile device hardware resources, such as memory and central processing unit (CPU), affect the performance of other applications later. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an Android mobile device financial watch software status column shortcut key application device and method, so that when the financial watch software is executed in the background mode, a shortcut key can be displayed in the status column at the same time, which can not only be reminded The user is still executing in the background, and can also provide a shortcut key for the user to switch the financial watch software back to the foreground mode to meet the user's operation requirements.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a state-of-the-line shortcut key application device for a financial watch software, which is applied to an Android mobile device having a screen, and the device comprises: a shortcut key module and a shortcut key management module. The shortcut key module is used to generate a shortcut bar representing the financial watch software and displayed on the screen status column; and the shortcut key management module, when the mobile device accepts the operation instruction and causes the financial watch software to convert from the foreground mode to the background mode The shortcut key management module controls the shortcut key module to display the shortcut key in the status column; the financial watch software is in the background mode, when the shortcut key is clicked or clicked, the shortcut key management module controls the shortcut key module. Hide shortcuts in the status column and cause the financial watch software to be converted from background mode to foreground mode.

Step 202: Operate the software; after executing the financial watch software 18, the user can start operating the software, for example, switch to the self-selected quotation view 20 (as shown in FIG. 2A) by the menu (not depicted) to view the quotation information.

Step 203: Make a call; when the user wants to make a call while watching the disc, and does not want to end the financial watch software 18, the financial watch software 18 is temporarily placed in the background mode, directly press the physical button "Home" The intermediate screen of the top view 10 of the mobile device of the embodiment of the present invention can be accessed (as shown in FIG. 7A). When the financial watch software 18 is executed in the background mode, the shortcut key management module 38 obtains the notification and displays the notification icon 22 representing the financial watch software 18 generated by the shortcut key module 36 (the figure is one The money symbol "$" is shown in status column 12. Then, by pressing the "telephone" virtual button, the dialing phone view 32 of the embodiment of the present invention (as shown in FIG. 7B) can be opened, and the notification map representing the financial disk software 18 can still be seen in the dialing phone view 32. The display 22 is displayed in the status column 12 and includes: a set of "virtual keyboard number keys", a "list of recent call numbers", a "virtual keyboard display button", a "call button" and a "join address book button". The user can press the number key of the virtual keyboard to dial the phone number, or expand the "Contacts" (not depicted) and directly dial the contact number in the address book. After the call is dialed, the in-call view 34 of the embodiment of the present invention is opened (as shown in FIG. 7C), and the in-call view 34 display includes a “virtual keyboard expansion button”, an “end call button”, and a “contact button”. A caller ID (Caller ID), a talk time timer, and one of the representative financial watch software 18 of the present invention are shown in the status column 12. After the call ends, the user can close the call view 34 and return to the previous view by pressing the "End Call" button (or the caller ends the call).

Step 204: Switch the software to the foreground mode by using the status column shortcut key; after the call ends, the previous view is automatically returned. In the middle screen of the top view 10 of the mobile device of the embodiment of the present invention (as shown in FIG. 7A), if the user wants to switch back to the financial watch software 18 to view the quote information, the user only needs to click the pull down (sliding) status column. 12, or click on the notification icon 22, or click the pull down (slide) notification icon 22 to expand the notification expansion view 24 generated by the shortcut key module 36, as shown in FIG. 7D. The "execution" notification message 26 displayed in the notification expansion view 24 indicates that the currently executing application includes the financial watch software 18, and the shortcut key module 36 adds two flags to the notification message 26 of the financial disk software 18. Mark: "FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT" flag (execution flag) and "FLAG_NO_CLEAR" flag (cannot be cleared). There are two types of notification messages 26 in the notification expansion view 24: the type of execution and the type of notification message. If "FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT" is set, the notification message 26 belongs to the execution type, please refer to Fig. 7D. If "FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT" is not set, the notification message 26 belongs to the notification message type, please refer to FIG. 2C. If the notification message 26 belongs to the notification message type and the "FLAG_NO_CLEAR" flag is set to the shortcut key module 36, there is no clear notification button 28 in the notification expansion view 24, so that the notification message 26 of the financial disk software 18 cannot be used. The person is cleared (ie, always displayed in the notification expansion view 24 until the financial watch software 18 is ended). If the "FLAG_NO_CLEAR" flag is not added to the shortcut key module 36, a notification notification button 28 is present in the notification expansion view 24. The user presses the clear notification button 28 to clear the notification message of the notification expansion view 24 of the financial disk software 18. 26. Regardless of whether the notification message 26 is of the type of execution or the type of notification message, the notification message 26 of the notification expansion view 24 of the financial disk software 18 can be used to switch the financial disk software 18 to the foreground mode execution.

Step 205: View the quotation information; after the financial watch software 18 is switched to the foreground mode, the screen displays the view of the financial watch software 18 before entering the background mode, that is, the self-selected quotation view 20, as shown in FIG. 2A, the user is You can start to view the quote information.

Comparing the operation technique and the embodiment of the present invention, when the user wants to make a call when watching the disc (step 103 and step 203), the technology is not displayed during the call (as in the call view 34 of FIG. 4B). The notification icon 22 representing the financial disk software 18 (i.e., the shortcut key of the financial disk software 18) is in the status column 12, and the embodiment of the present invention displays a message during a call (such as the call view 34 in Figure 7C). The notification icon 22 representing the financial disk software 18 (ie, the shortcut key of the financial disk software 18, the legend is a money symbol "$" representing the financial disk software 18) in the status column 12, in fact, the present invention is not only in the call The status column 12 of the middle view 34 displays a notification icon 22 representing the financial watch software 18, while the status column 12 in all views displays a notification icon 22 representing the financial watch software 18, the financial watch software 18 The notification icon 22 not only reminds the user that the financial watch software 18 is still executing in the background mode, and can be used as a shortcut key for the user to quickly switch the financial watch software 18 to the foreground mode, eliminating the complicated switching process.
