1 is a flow chart of an interactive method disclosed in a first embodiment of the present invention. The interactive method of this embodiment is used in an electronic device, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart TV, or the like. In addition, one of the operating systems of the electronic device may be Android or IOS, and is not limited thereto.

In step S102, the first application is executed. In other words, the user can operate the electronic device, that is, click on the first application built in or downloaded on the electronic device. For the electronic device to execute the first application. The first application can be a resident program, such as a video player, a web browser or a multimedia program.

In the step S104, when the first application is executed, the execution of the second application is triggered according to the triggering rule, wherein the first application and the second application are simultaneously displayed in the display area of the electronic device according to the preset screen configuration. Preferably, the aforementioned second application is, for example, an advertisement application.

For example, the electronic device may preset a link or function corresponding to the execution of the second application in the first application. Then, when the first application is executed, the electronic device can find and call the corresponding second application through a link or function set in the first application, so as to trigger the execution of the second application. The foregoing way of finding and calling the second application is similar to the way in which parameters are passed in the intent command in the Andriod system.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the foregoing triggering rule may be an active trigger or a passive trigger. The active trigger includes triggering execution of the second application when the timer expires. That is, when the electronic device executes the first application, the timer configured in the electronic device starts counting, and when the timer expires, for example, 2 seconds, the electronic device actively triggers execution of the second application. That is, after the first application executes for a period of time, the second application is actively triggered to execute.

In another embodiment, the passive triggering includes triggering execution of the second application when the function of the first application is executed. For example, when the user executes one of the function keys on the first application (eg, pause, play, fast forward, etc.), the electronic device The trigger triggers the execution of the second application. That is to say, when the electronic device executes the first application, the execution of the second application is not triggered, but the execution of the second application is triggered only when the user performs the function of the first application.

In addition, the preset screen configuration includes a first application 202 and a second application 204 juxtaposed (as shown in FIG. 2A), and the second application 204 is overlaid on the first application 202 (eg, FIG. 2B). As shown, the first application 202 and the second application 204 are arranged one above the other (as shown in FIG. 2C) or the first application and the second application are mutually parent images (as shown in FIG. 2D).

In step S106, a feedback is generated according to the input signal of the user interface of the second application. That is to say, after the execution of the second application is triggered, the second application provides a user interface, so that the user can input an input signal through the user interface. Correspondingly, the second application generates feedback to the user through the user interface. For example, the feedback generated by the second application can be a change of one of the objects on the user interface. When the user inputs an input signal through the user interface, the object on the user interface changes correspondingly, and the change is fed back to the user.

In step S108, a preset action is performed according to the feedback. That is to say, the second application can perform a preset action according to the content, size, change, degree, and the like of the feedback to guide the user to perform the next step. For example, when the change of the object on the user interface reaches 70% or more, the second application performs the preset action.

Briefly, when the user executes the first application on the electronic device In the second instance, the second application is triggered because the user executes a certain function on the first application or executes the first application for a certain period of time. When the second application is executed, the user inputs an input signal through the user interface of the second application, and the second application also generates feedback through the user interface to further interact with the user.

In this embodiment, the input signal is a user gesture, a user voice, a user touch or press. In other words, the user can generate a corresponding input signal by inputting a gesture, a sound, a touch, or a pressing on the user interface of the second application displayed on the electronic device, so that the electronic device generates feedback and further Perform the corresponding preset action.

In addition, the preset action includes at least one of the following: closing the second application, opening the webpage, switching the phased task of the second application, updating the advertisement information, and triggering the third application.

For example, when the preset action is to close the second application, the electronic device closes the second application and continues to execute the first application in the display area.

When the preset action is to open the webpage, the second application can link to the corresponding webpage accordingly.

When the preset action is a phased task of switching the second application, the second application will indicate or prompt the corresponding phased task for the user to perform the corresponding operation. For example, this phased task is for example the level of an interactive game. In other words, the user must complete an interactive game, such as a pass, to complete this phase of the task and enter Next level. In addition, when the user completes the interactive game, the manufacturer who provides the interactive game, for example, provides the user with rewards, such as points, treasures, and the like.

When the preset action is to update the advertisement information, the second application updates the advertisement information and displays the updated advertisement information for the user to watch.

When the preset action is to trigger the third application, the electronic device finds and calls the corresponding third application through the link or function set in the second application, so as to trigger the third application. The electronic device may preset a link or function corresponding to the execution of the third application by the second application.

In this way, the interactive method provided in this embodiment can achieve interaction between the application and the user to increase the user experience.

Figure 3 is a flow chart of the interactive method disclosed in the second embodiment of the present invention. For the implementation of the steps S102, S104, S106, and S108, reference may be made to the description of the embodiment of FIG. 1, and therefore no further details are provided herein. The difference of Fig. 3 is that step S302 is added.

In step S302, after the preset action is completed, the execution of the first application is continued in the display area. In other words, after the user completes the interactive action with the second application of the electronic device, the electronic device, for example, closes the second application, and displays only the first application on the display area and continues to execute the first application. application.

On the other hand, when the second application is an advertisement application, the execution of the second application in step S104 may include other steps, as shown in FIG. 4 is a flow chart of an interactive method disclosed in a third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment The interactive method is used in an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart TV, or the like. In addition, one of the operating systems of the electronic device may be Android or IOS, and is not limited thereto.

In step S402, an advertisement application is executed. In this embodiment, the advertisement application may correspond to the second application described in FIG. 1, for example.

In step S404, the advertisement information is embedded in the first layer of the advertisement application. The advertisement information is, for example, a picture file or a video file, and is not limited thereto.

In step S406, in the second layer of the advertisement application, the object is embedded, and the second layer is located, for example, on the first layer, for example, the second layer is overlaid or overlapped over the first layer. Among them, the object is, for example, a game object.

In step S408, a preset action is performed according to the change of the object. The change of the object is generated, for example, by a user gesture, a user voice, a user touch or a press. In the embodiment of the present invention, the change of the object may be the feedback in the foregoing steps 106 and 108.

For example, when the advertisement application is executed, the advertisement application embeds the advertisement image or the advertisement video file in the first layer as the background of the advertisement application. Next, the advertising application embeds the game object in the second layer such that the second layer overlaps the first layer. In other words, the user can manipulate the game object on the advertising program whose background is the background of the advertisement image. When the user draws a circle or any graphic on the electronic application's advertisement application by gesture, touch or pressing, the advertisement application generates a change of the game object on the second layer, and the advertisement application enters the next according to the change of the game object. a level or Perform the above preset actions. In other words, in addition to the advertisement information embedded in the first layer of the advertisement application, the user can further perform corresponding operations on the game object embedded in the second layer of the advertisement application, for example, User gestures, user voices, user touches or presses. The advertisement application generates feedback changes to the game object, and performs preset actions according to changes in the game object. In this way, the interaction between the advertising application and the user can be achieved to increase the user experience.

In addition, for the description of the preset action, reference may be made to the description of the embodiment of FIG. 1 , and therefore no further description is provided herein.

In addition, step S408 in the implementation of the present invention may include other steps, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 is a flow chart of the interactive method disclosed in the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

In step S502, when the object changes, the area information is transmitted from the second layer to the first layer, wherein the area information indicates the first area where the object changes on the second layer. In step S504, according to the area information, the record corresponds to the second area on the first layer. In step S506, based on the second area, it is determined whether the advertisement application performs a preset action.

In other words, the user can operate (eg, press or touch, etc.) on the first area on the second layer, so that the object embedded on the second layer changes on the first area, and the first area is generated. The area information is transmitted by the second layer to the first layer. After that, the first layer can record the second area of the corresponding area information on the first layer according to the information of the area, to determine whether the first application executes the pre- Set the action. In this way, the interaction between the advertisement information of the first layer and the object of the second layer can be further achieved.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the coordinate system of the first area on the second layer and the second area on the first layer may be the same or different. When the first area on the second layer is the same as the coordinate system of the second area on the first layer, the calculation of the coordinate conversion is not required. In addition, the area information can be stored, for example, in the memory of the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, step S506 includes the advertisement application executing a preset action when the second area occupies a certain proportion of the first layer. For example, when a user draws a circle or any graphic on the advertising application, the advertising application generates a change in the game object on the second layer (eg, creating a mask on the second layer). At this time, the second layer transmits the area information of the area to be mapped to the first layer. The first layer records the area corresponding to the first layer according to the area information. The advertisement application judges whether the completion or clearance is performed according to the area corresponding to the first layer. For example, if the area corresponding to the first layer occupies more than 70% of the first layer (ie, the advertisement image file), the judgment is passed, and Go to the next level or perform the preset actions described above.

In step S604, when the resident application is executed At the time of the line, the execution of the advertising application is triggered according to the triggering rule (active trigger or passive trigger). In step S606, when the advertisement application is executed, the advertisement pattern is embedded in the first layer of the advertisement application, and the game object is embedded in the second layer of the advertisement application, wherein the second layer is located above the first layer.

In step S608, a change of the game object is generated according to one of the user interfaces of one of the advertisement application inputs. In step S610, when the game object changes, an area information is transmitted from the second layer to the first layer, wherein the area information indicates the first area where the game object changes on the second layer.

In step S612, according to the area information, the record corresponds to the second area on the first layer. In step S614, based on the second area, it is determined whether the advertisement application performs a preset action. In step S616, when the second area occupies a certain proportion of the first layer, a preset action is performed.
