System and method for ending program in mobile terminal

A program stroke control system and method thereof, in particular, a system and method for ending a program in a mobile terminal.

The user interface (UI) is a medium for information exchange between computer hardware and software and users. There is a user interface in the field of information exchange between humans and machinery. The user interface enables the user to conveniently and efficiently operate the computer software and hardware to achieve two-way interaction and accomplish the work that is desired to be done by the computer. The user and the computer software and hardware generally interact with the restricted natural language. However, with the popularity of the Windows operating system, the current user interface is mostly presented by the Graphic User Interface (GUI). .

The graphical user interface uses graphics to help the user easily issue commands to the computer, initiate operations, and graphically display the results to the user. The graphical user interface is simple to operate, eliminating the need for users who use the character user interface to remember various commands.

At present, the operating system of digital electronic products is usually presented in a windowed interface. Each application can display a main window after execution. The user can operate in the main window to open the sub-window. When needed, the sub-window can also be opened. Child window, and so on.

At present, after opening the multi-layer sub-window, if the main window that is opened first directly closes the application or closes all open sub-windows, it will often cause some sub-windows that are subsequently opened to end without occupying system resources (resource). To actually close the application or close all open child windows, you often need to The last opened child window starts to close all the child windows one by one. For example, in some operating systems, the back button needs to be pressed multiple times, causing inconvenience to the user.

In summary, it can be seen that in the prior art, there has been a long-standing problem that resources cannot be conveniently used to completely close all sub-windows of an application through a sub-window. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved technical means to solve this problem.

In view of the prior art, there is a problem that all sub-windows of an application cannot be closed through a sub-window, and the present invention discloses a system for ending a program in a mobile terminal and a method thereof, wherein: a system for ending a program in a mobile terminal disclosed in the present invention And applied to the application, at least: the target object; the first user interface program (User Interface Program), used to set (get) the target object when the first user interface program ends; the second user interface program For displaying a function interface, the function interface includes a specific event that triggers the first user interface program to start execution, and the second user interface program is executed simultaneously with the first user interface program, and is used to determine when the target object is set. End the second user interface program.

The method for ending a program in the mobile terminal disclosed in the present invention is applied to an application, wherein the application runs a first user interface program and a second user interface program, and the first user interface program is in the second user. After the specific event in the function interface displayed by the interface program is triggered, the step of at least: providing the target object in the application; the first user interface program displaying the function interface; when the first user interface program ends, The target object is set; when the second user interface program determines that the target object is set, the second user interface program is ended.

The system and method disclosed by the present invention are as above, and the difference between the prior art and the prior art is When the first user interface program in the application ends, the target object is set, and when the second user interface program in the application determines that the target object is set, the second user interface program is ended. In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and to achieve the technical effect of reducing resource occupation.

The features and embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments, which are sufficient to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the technical means to which the present invention solves the technical problems, and The achievable effects of the present invention.

The present invention is applied to an application executed in a portable device. When the application simultaneously executes a plurality of user interface programs, if a user interface program in the application is ended, the application is ended. The user interface program will actively or passively notify other user interface programs, so that other user interface programs that need to be completed will also end, avoiding the user interface program should end but not end and occupy resources.

The user interface program (including the first user interface program and the second user interface program) mentioned in the present invention can provide a function interface for interacting with the user, for example, an "Activity" object in some programming languages.

Hereinafter, the system operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the system architecture diagram of the end program in the mobile terminal proposed by the present invention in "FIG. 1A". As shown in FIG. 1A, the system of the present invention includes a target object 110, a first user interface program 120, and a second user interface program 130.

The target object 110 is responsible for recording whether to end all the second user interface programs 130 associated with the first user interface program 120, and if so, the target object 110 will be Set, if not, the target object 110 is not set.

In some embodiments, the target object 110 may be a global variable in the application 100. When the target object 110 is set, it indicates that the target object 110 is not 0 (usually 1), when the target object 110 does not. When set, the target object 110 is usually 0, but the invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, in some embodiments, all user interface programs of the application 100 are related to other user interface programs, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The first user interface program 120 is responsible for displaying the function interface. The function interface displayed by the first user interface program 120 includes at least a first button for ending the application 100. In some embodiments, the function interface displayed by the first user interface program 120 may further include a second button for ending the first user interface program 120, but the invention is not limited thereto.

At the end of the first user interface program 120, that is, the first user interface program 120 will end the application 100, or set the target object 110 when it is necessary to end all of the associated second user interface programs 130.

The second user interface program 130 is also responsible for displaying the function interface. The function interface displayed by the second user interface program 130 includes at least a specific event that triggers the first user interface program 120 to start executing, for example, a button or a core in the function interface. Take click events such as checkboxes.

In general, the function interface displayed by the first user interface program 120 is located on the upper layer of the function interface displayed by the second user interface program 130, that is, when the first user interface program 120 starts executing, the function interface is displayed. At the same time, the function interface displayed by the first user interface program 120 will achieve focus.

The second user interface program 130 is responsible for terminating the second user interface program 130 when it is determined that the target object 110 is set. In some embodiments, the second user interface program 130 reads the value of the target object 110 in the "onStart" method to determine whether the target object 110 is set.

Next, the operation system and method of the present invention will be explained in the first embodiment, and the flow chart of the method for ending the program in the mobile terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to "2A".

In this embodiment, it is assumed that three user interface programs are executed at the same time in the application 100 executed on the portable device. In the three user interface programs, a function interface displayed by the user interface program includes the end. The first button of the application 100. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the user interface program for ending the first button of the application 100 is the first user interface program proposed by the present invention, and the other two user interface programs are the first a user interface program, and the first user interface program is executed when a specific event in the function interface displayed by the second user interface program is triggered, and the first user interface program is also assumed The function interface of the display is on the upper layer of the function interface displayed by the other two second user interface programs, so that the user can only operate the function interface displayed by the first user interface program until the user closes the first user interface program. The function interface displayed, that is, the end of the first user interface program.

The function interface displayed by the first user interface program may include a second button for ending the first user interface program in addition to the first button of the end application 100. If the user needs to end all the user interface programs included in the application 100 and the application 100, the first button can be clicked; if the user only needs to close the function interface of the current uppermost display, the second button can be clicked. Only the first user interface program will end, so that the function interface of the top display layer is also Closed, but the other two second user interface programs included in the application 100 and the application 100 will still be in normal operation.

First, the application 100 can provide a target object 110 (step 201). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the target object 110 is a global variable that is pre-configured in the application 100 and whose data type is a Boolean value.

Then, when the first user interface program 120 in the application 100 is triggered to start execution, the function interface for providing interaction with the user may be displayed on the uppermost layer (step 210), if the first user interface program 120 is displayed. When the first button is clicked, the first user interface program 120 executes the "onDestroy" method, and in the "onDestroy" method of the first user interface program 120, the target object 110 is set to "true" (step 220).

After the first user interface program 120 ends, one of the second user interface programs 130 will be restarted. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2B, the second user interface program 130 performs the display function. The "onStart" method of the content in the interface reads the target object 110 in the "onStart" method of the second user interface program 130, that is, reads the global variable pre-configured in the application 100 (step 230). And determining whether the target object 110 is set (step 240). If not, the second user interface program 130 will execute normally (step 290), that is, the "onResume" method will be executed.

In this embodiment, since the target object 110 has been set to "true", the second user interface program 130 determines that the target object 110 is set. Therefore, the second user interface program 130 executes the "onDestroy" method that ends. The second user interface program 130 is terminated (step 250).

In this embodiment, regardless of the "onDestroy" of the second user interface program 130 The method is to set the target object 110 to "true". Since the target object 110 has been set to "true" by the first user interface program, the other second user interface program 130 will also be as described above when it is replied. The process ends. Thus, with the present invention, all user interface programs of the application 100 are surely terminated before the end of the application 100, thereby avoiding waste of resources.

Hereinafter, the system operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the system architecture diagram of the end program in another mobile terminal proposed by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1B, the system of the present invention also includes a target object 110, a first user interface program 120, and a second user interface program 130, and the first user interface program 120 and the second user interface. The program 130 also displays the function interface. Different from "FIG. 1A", in "Block 1B", there is more than one target object 110, but one for each second user interface program 130, but the present invention does not have a first user interface program. Whether or not the target object 110 is included is specifically limited.

The target object 110 is responsible for recording whether or not to terminate all of the second user interface programs associated with the first user interface program 120. In some embodiments, the target object 110 may be a broadcast object registered in each user interface program, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The first user interface program 120 will also set the target object 110 at the end. In some embodiments, the first user interface program 120 sets the target object 110 in a broadcast manner in the "onDestory" method in which the execution ends, but the invention is not limited thereto.

In general, the first user interface program 120 sets the target object 110 when it is necessary to end all of the associated second user interface programs 130. In some embodiments, the second user interface program 130 associated with the first user interface program 120 To open the second user interface program 130 of the first user interface program 120, the first user interface program 120 is located above the second user interface program 130, that is, the first user interface program 120 is obtained. Focus, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The second user interface program 130 is responsible for terminating the second user interface program 130 when it is determined that the target object 110 is set. In some embodiments, the second user interface program 130 determines that the target object 110 is set when receiving the broadcast of the setting target object 110 issued by the first user interface program 120 in the "onReceiver" method of receiving the message. . In addition, the second user interface program 130 may also unregister the registered target object 110 before determining that the target object 110 is set, that is, before ending the second user interface program 130.

Next, the operation system and method of the present invention will be explained in the second embodiment. Please refer to the "2A" diagram of the method for ending the program in the mobile terminal according to the present invention.

In this embodiment, if the application 100 executed on the portable device includes five user interface programs, and each of the five user interface programs is in another user interface program, The specific event in the displayed function interface is triggered and executed, so that the five user interface programs will be executed at the same time. It is assumed that the user interface program to be executed last is the first user interface program proposed by the present invention, and the other four user interface programs are the second user interface program proposed by the present invention.

First, each of the second user interface programs 130 in the application 100 registers the target object 110 in advance when the "onCreate" method of the resource configuration is executed, so that the application 100 provides the target object 110 (step 201). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the target object 110 is a broadcast object.

If a specific event in the function interface displayed by the second user interface program 130 in the application 100 is triggered, so that the first user interface program 120 in the application 100 starts executing, the first user interface program 120 can The function interface is displayed at the top level (step 210).

Then, when the first user interface program 120 in the application 100 ends, the first user interface program 120 executes the "onDestroy" method, and in the "onDestroy" method of the first user interface program 120, The broadcast of the set broadcast object (target object 110) is transmitted to all of the second user interface programs 130 to set the target object 110 (step 220).

When the second user interface program 130 in the application 100 receives the broadcast of the setting target object 110 transmitted by the first user interface program 120, the second user interface program 130 determines that the target object 110 is set, therefore, The second user interface program 130 can be ended (step 250), wherein the second user interface program 130 can further register the target object 110 before ending. Thus, through the present invention, all of the second user interface programs 130 associated with the first user interface program 120 in the application 100 are terminated by receiving the broadcast transmitted by the first user interface program 120 at the end. All second user interface programs 130 associated with the first user interface program 120 in the application 100 are indeed terminated, avoiding waste of resources.

In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is that when the first user interface program in the application ends, the target object is set, and when the second user interface program in the application determines that the target object is When setting, the technical means of ending the second user interface program can solve the problem of the prior art that all sub-windows of the application cannot be closed through the sub-window. The problem, in turn, achieves the technical effect of reducing the amount of resources that should be used by the program that should end.

Furthermore, the method for ending the program in the mobile terminal of the present invention can be implemented in hardware, software or a combination of hardware and software, or can be implemented in a centralized manner in a computer system or spread over several interconnections with different components. The decentralized way of implementing computer systems.
