The method involves judging the type of a terminal application which preempts the audio resources when the audio resource conflict happens to the terminal. If the application which preempts the audio resources is an Java instant messaging type of application, said Java instant messaging type of application occupies the audio resources and uses the audio resources only once, then releases the audio resources at once, and the usage of audio resources is recovered by the application whose audio resources are preempted; if the application which preempts the audio resources is an Java non-instant messaging type of application, said Java non-instant messaging type of application occupies the audio resources, and releases the audio resources until said Java non-instant messaging type of application quits, then the occupation of audio resources is recovered by the application whose audio resources are preempted. Through the present invention, the occupation problem of audio resources in the terminal during audio resource conflict is solved, and the user experience is improved.

Description

Management method for terminal when audio resource conflicts and terminal

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for managing a terminal in conflict of audio resources and the terminal. Background technique

With the development of communication technologies, there are more and more terminals for Java applications. Java applications include Java instant messaging applications and Java non-instant messaging applications, Java instant messaging applications including Tencent QQ, MSN, etc.; Java non-instant messaging applications include Java games, Java music playback applications. Java instant messaging applications usually only need to temporarily occupy audio resources after preempting audio. For example, Tencent QQ, preempts audio resources when coming to the information, and uses the resources once, that is, a prompt tone; Java non-immediate communication applications are usually preempted. Audio resources occupying audio for a long time, such as Java music playback applications, playing an audio file takes a long time to occupy audio resources. However, when multiple terminal applications need to occupy audio resources, the limited audio resources of the terminal will collide. At present, the method for solving the conflict of terminal audio resources is too single, and cannot be applied to both Java instant messaging applications and Java non-instant messaging applications. The following defects are often encountered: After the Java instant messaging application preempts audio and uses audio resources for a short time, Unable to release audio resources in time, resulting in waste of audio resources; releasing audio resources in the gap between Java non-immediate communication applications playing multiple audio files, and releasing audio resources, the application of the preempted resources restores the use of resources. When the user enjoys the Java non-immediate communication application, it is audibly interfered with by other applications. For example, when the end user enjoys the Java music playing application, after listening to a song and waiting for the next song, The use of audio resources by the application of the preempted resource is restored, and in this gap, the sound heard by the end user is an interference to the Java music playing application. Summary of the invention

The invention provides a method for managing a terminal when an audio resource conflicts, and the terminal, which solves the problem that the terminal consumes audio resources when the audio resource conflicts.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention uses the following technical solutions:

A method for managing a terminal application when an audio resource conflicts includes:

When the audio resource conflict occurs in the terminal, determine the type of the terminal application that preempts the audio resource; if the application that preempts the audio resource is a Java instant messaging application, the Java instant messaging application occupies the audio resource and uses the audio resource immediately Audio resource, the application of the preempted audio resource restores the use of audio resources;

If the application for preempting the audio resource is a Java non-instant messaging application, the Java non-instant messaging application occupies an audio resource, and until the Java non-immediate communication application exits, the audio resource is released, and the application of the preempted audio resource is restored. The occupation of audio resources.

The rules for preempting the audio resource by the Java instant messaging application are as follows: The highest priority is to preempt the lower priority, and the same priority is in the time sequence of performing the preemption operation, and the time in the latter preemption time is in the former.

The rule that the Java non-immediate communication application preempts the audio resource is: before the audio resource is occupied, sending a message to notify the application that is preempted by the audio resource to release the audio resource through the message mechanism of the application layer; releasing the audio resource in the Java non-instant communication application Before the audio resource, the application layer sends a message to notify the application that is preempted of the audio resource to resume the use of the audio resource.

The method for determining the type of the terminal application that preempts the audio resource includes: determining the type of the Java application according to the identifier of the preset Java application.

The identification identifier of the Java application includes: adding a new attribute in the descriptor jad file of the Java application, where the newly added attribute is used to identify the Java application as a Java instant messaging application or a Java non-instant communication application.

The identification identifier of the Java application includes a MIDlet-Name of the Java application (mobile letter) The name of the device applet), the MIDlet-Name of the Java application is used to identify the Java application as a Java instant messaging application or a Java non-instant messaging application.

A terminal includes an application type judging module and an audio resource management module, where: the application type judging module is configured to determine, when an audio resource conflict occurs in the terminal, a type of the terminal application that preempts the audio resource;

The audio resource management module is configured to manage audio resources according to the judgment result of the application type determining module, where the specific management manner is: if the application for preempting the audio resource is a Java instant messaging application, the Java instant messaging application occupies an audio resource After the audio resource is used once, the audio resource is released immediately, and the application that is preempted by the audio resource resumes the use of the audio resource; if the application that preempts the audio resource is a Java non-immediate communication application, the Java non-immediate communication application occupies the audio resource. Until the Java non-immediate communication application exits, the audio resource is released, and the application that is preempted by the audio resource resumes occupation of the audio resource.

The application type determining module determines the type of the Java application according to the identifier of the preset Java application.

If the application for preempting the audio resource is a Java non-immediate communication application, the audio resource management module controls the application of the Java non-instant communication application to send a message to notify the preempted audio resource through the message mechanism of the application layer before occupying the audio resource. Release the audio resource; before the Java non-immediate communication application releases the audio resource, the audio resource management module controls the Java non-immediate communication application to send a message through the application layer message mechanism to notify the application recovery of the preempted audio resource. Use of audio resources.

The application type determining module includes a Java virtual machine of the terminal.

The present invention provides a method for managing a terminal when an audio resource conflicts, and the terminal, which realizes that when the application for preempting the audio resource is a Java instant messaging application, the Java instant messaging application occupies the audio resource and uses the audio resource once. Immediate release of audio resources, timely recovery of the application of the preempted resources to restore the use of audio resources; the application of preempting audio resources is Java non In instant messaging applications, Java non-immediate communication applications monopolize audio resources to achieve continuous playback of multiple audio files, until the Java non-immediate communication application exits, releasing audio resources, and restoring the application of the preempted resources to restore the use of audio resources.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of management when an audio conflict occurs between a Java application of a mobile terminal and a local application of the terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. detailed description

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of management when an audio conflict occurs in a terminal application according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1: Step S101: When an audio resource conflict occurs in a terminal, determine a type of a terminal application that preempts an audio resource, if the audio resource is preempted If the application is a Java instant messaging application, step S102 is performed, if the application for preempting the audio resource is a Java non-instant messaging application, step S104 is performed;

Step S102: After the Java instant messaging application occupies the audio resource and uses the audio resource once, the audio resource is immediately released.

Step S103: The application that is preempted by the audio resource resumes the use of the audio resource, and the Java instant messaging application continues to run, waiting for the next preemption of the audio resource.

Step S104: The Java non-immediate communication application occupies the audio resource until the Java non-immediate communication application exits, and then releases the audio resource;

Step S105: The application that is preempted by the resource restores the occupation of the audio resource.

When the application for preempting the audio resource is a Java instant messaging application, the application that is preempted by the audio resource may be another Java instant messaging application, a Java non-instant messaging application, and the terminal local application. When the application for preempting resources is a Java non-immediate communication application, the application for preempting the audio resource may be another Java non-instant messaging application, a Java instant messaging application, a terminal local application, and the terminal local application does not include mobile communication. The highest priority call service, short message service, etc.

Java instant messaging applications include applications that can send and receive Internet messages instantly, such as the popular instant messaging tools Tencent QQ, MSN, etc.; Java non-instant messaging applications include Java music playback applications, Java games with background music, and so on. Java instant messaging applications usually only need to temporarily occupy audio resources after preempting audio resources. For example, Tencent QQ preempts audio resources when coming to the information, and emits a prompt tone when using the resources once. Java non-immediate communication applications usually occupy audio resources for a long time after preempting audio. For example, in Java music playback applications, playing an audio file takes a long time to occupy audio resources. Through the invention, the Java instant messaging application can occupy the audio resource and release the audio resource immediately after using the audio resource, and the application that is preempted by the audio resource restores the use of the resource; and the Java non-instant communication application can occupy the audio resource. Until the Java non-immediate communication application exits, the audio resource is released, and the application that is preempted by the resource restores the occupation of the resource, and the non-instant communication application applies the interval of playing multiple audio files, and does not release the audio resource, thereby avoiding The gap between non-instant messaging applications that play multiple audio files is intervened by other applications.

Further, the rules for preempting audio resources by the Java instant messaging application are as follows: The highest priority is to occupy the lower priority, and the same priority is in the time sequence of performing the preemption operation, and the time in the latter is the former. Specifically, the priority is set by the platform-based media resource management mechanism. When the terminal audio resource conflicts, the higher-priority ones preempt the lower priority and the same priority level according to the time sequence of performing the preemption operation. Performing a preemption operation in the latter preempts the execution of the preemption operation in the former.

Further, the Java non-immediate communication application sends a message to notify the preempted audio resource application to release the audio resource by using the message mechanism of the application layer before the audio resource is occupied, until the Java non-immediate communication application exits, releasing the audio resource, the Java Non-instant messaging applications re-pass The message mechanism of the application layer sends a message to notify the application that is preempting the audio resource to resume the use of the audio resource.

Determining the type of the terminal application that preempts the resource includes: determining the type of the Java application according to the identifier of the preset Java application, and the Java application includes a Java instant messaging application and a Java non-instant communication application.

In a specific implementation process, the identification identifier of the Java application may include:

Method 1: When the operator or the manufacturer customizes the Java application, an attribute may be added to the Java application's jad file, and the newly added attribute is used to identify the Java instant messaging application or the Java non-instant messaging application; for example, New properties in the jad file of the Java instant messaging application: MIDlet-Usecase-IM, where IM (Instant Messaging), according to its attribute value True or False, indicates whether the application is a Java instant messaging application, Java The virtual machine needs to identify and record the attribute value when installing the Java instant messaging application, so that the type of the application can be clarified according to the recorded attribute value when there is an audio conflict, and the attribute name and the attribute value have multiple definition forms, which are not limited to the above. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As long as it is a property agreed between a Java application and a virtual machine.

There are other ways to add attributes to the Java application's jad file. For example, if you add a property to the jad file of a Java non-instant messaging application, it will indicate whether the application is Java according to its attribute value True or False. Non-instant messaging applications; for example, new attributes are added to the Java instant messaging application and the Java non-instant messaging application's jad file, and the application is marked as a Java instant messaging application or a Java non based on its attribute name. Instant messaging applications;

Method 2: This method is usually applied to non-customized Java applications. Since the MIDlet-Name of Java applications usually changes very little, different versions only differ in the version number, so Java can be recognized by the MIDlet-Name of the Java application. The type of application, for example: If the MIDlet-Name of the Java application contains keywords such as QQ/Messenger, the application is identified as a Java instant messaging application. Identify Java by setting such keywords for instant messaging applications For instant messaging applications, applications without such keywords are Java non-instant messaging applications. The present invention also relates to a terminal. Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a terminal module according to the present invention, which includes an application type determining module S201 and an audio resource management module S202. The application type determining module S201 is configured to determine when a resource conflict occurs in the terminal. The type of the terminal application that preempts the resource; the audio resource management module S202 is configured to manage the audio resource according to the judgment result of the application type determining module S201, and the specific management manner is: if the application for preempting the audio resource is a Java instant messaging application, Java instant communication After the class application occupies the audio resource and uses the audio resource once, the audio resource is immediately released, and the application that is preempted by the audio resource resumes the use of the audio resource; if the application that preempts the resource is a Java non-immediate communication application, the Java non-immediate communication application occupies The audio resource, until the Java non-immediate communication application exits, releases the audio resource, and the application that is preempted by the audio resource resumes occupation of the audio resource.

Further, if the application for preempting the resource is a Java non-instant messaging application, the audio resource management module S202 controls the Java non-instant communication application to send an message to notify the preempted audio resource to release the audio through the message mechanism of the application layer before occupying the audio resource. Before the Java non-immediate communication application releases the audio resource, the audio resource management module S202 controls the Java non-immediate communication application to send a message through the application layer message mechanism to notify the application that is preempted of the audio resource to restore the use of the audio resource.

In a specific implementation, the application type judging module S201 generally includes a Java virtual machine of the terminal, and the terminal includes a mobile terminal or the like.

In a specific implementation, the application type determining module determines the type of the Java application according to the identifier of the preset Java application. The identification identifier can be set in two ways: Method 1: When the operator or the manufacturer customizes the Java application, an attribute can be added to the Java application's jad file, which is used to identify the Java instant messaging application or The Java non-instant messaging application; for example, adding a property to a jad file of a Java instant messaging application: MIDlet-Usecase-IM, where IM (Instant Messaging), according to its attributes The value is True or False to indicate whether the application is a Java instant messaging application. The Java virtual machine needs to identify and record the attribute value when installing the Java instant messaging application, so that the application is clarified according to the recorded attribute value when there is an audio conflict. The types, attribute names, and attribute values have various definitions, and are not limited to the above specific implementation manners, as long as the attributes agreed between the Java application and the virtual machine can be agreed upon.

Method 2: This method is usually applied to non-customized Java applications. Since the MIDlet-Name (the name of the mobile information device applet) of the Java application usually rarely changes, different versions only differ in the version number, so through Java. The MIDlet-Name of the application can identify the type of the Java application, for example: If the MIDlet-Name of the Java application contains a keyword such as QQ/Messenger, the application is identified as a Java instant messaging application. Java instant messaging applications are identified by setting such keywords for instant messaging applications. Applications without such keywords are Java non-instant messaging applications.

In this embodiment, the terminal releases the audio resource immediately after the audio resource is preempted by the instant messaging application, and the audio resource is released immediately after the audio resource is used once. The application of the preempted resource restores the use of the audio resource in time, and the non-instant communication application monopolizes the audio resource after exclusive use. The audio resource realizes continuous playback of multiple audio files until the non-immediate communication application exits, and the application that recovers the preempted audio resource resumes the use of the audio resource, thereby improving the user experience.

Embodiment 1:

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of management when an audio conflict occurs between a Java application of a mobile terminal and a local application of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a Tencent QQ, Java non-application of a Java instant messaging application is used. For example, the Java music playing application of the instant messaging application and the local application of the mobile terminal are as shown in FIG. 3:

Step S301: When the audio resource conflict occurs in the terminal, the Java virtual machine determines the type of the Java application that preempts the audio resource. If the audio resource is the Tencent QQ of the Java instant messaging application, step S302 is performed, if the audio resource is preempted Java non-instant messaging application Java music playback application, step S306;

Step S302: Tencent QQ occupies the audio resource of the mobile terminal, and immediately releases the audio resource after completing the playing of the message prompt tone;

Step S303: The local application that is preempted by the audio resource restores the use of the audio resource, and the Tencent QQ continues to run, waiting for the next time to preempt the audio resource;

Step S304: Tencent QQ once again seizes the audio resource, completes the playback of the second message prompt tone, and releases the audio resource again;

Step S305: The local application that is preempted by the resource restores the use of the audio resource again, and the Tencent QQ continues to run, waiting for the third time to seize the audio resource, or the Tencent QQ exits.

Step S306: The Java music playing application occupies an audio resource, and completes continuous playing of the audio file.

Step S307: The Java music playing application exits, releasing the audio resource, and the local application of the preempted resource restores the use of the audio resource.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal releases the audio resource immediately after the audio resource is preempted by the Tencent QQ and the audio resource is used once, and the local application of the preempted resource is restored in time to restore the use of the audio resource; or the audio is played in the Java music playback application. After the resource, the exclusive audio resource realizes continuous playback of multiple audio files until the Java music playing application exits, and the local application that is preempted by the resource restores the use of the audio resource, thereby improving the user experience.

The above is a further detailed description of the present invention in connection with the specific embodiments, and the specific implementation of the invention is not limited to the description. For the technical field to which the present invention pertains A person skilled in the art can make some simple deductions or substitutions without departing from the inventive concept, and should be considered as belonging to the scope of protection of the present invention.
