Description

Method and terminal for multi-window display application technology

The present invention relates to terminal display technologies in the field of mobile communications, and more particularly to a method and terminal for displaying a multi-window application. Background technique

With the rapid development of mobile communication technologies, terminals, such as mobile phones and tablet computers, have become more and more powerful, and multiple applications can be run simultaneously in one terminal. Currently, the display method of multiple running applications in the terminal is as follows: one foreground application is displayed at a time, and other applications are running in the background; when the user needs to view the state of the background application, the function button of the terminal needs to be manually operated, and the background is The application switches to the foreground to run.

However, in the above display method, since the main screen only displays one foreground application, to view the status of all the applications currently running in the terminal, the user needs to manually operate, and the background application is switched to the foreground to make the user's operation repeat. And cumbersome; in addition, in the above display method, the current processing state of the application and the network state and power state of the terminal are not considered, and the terminal cannot automatically perform the status of the pre/background application according to the current period, and The terminal's own status switches the pre/background application, which in turn causes the central processor

(CPU, Central Processing Unit) The processing resource allocation is unreasonable. For example, when the mobile network signal of the terminal is weak, and the foreground application needs to use the mobile network, the application will run very slowly and will occupy more CPUs for a long time. Processing resources also affects the processing progress of background applications that do not need to use the mobile network.

It can be seen that the existing display method of the terminal application cannot provide multiple windows to display multiple applications, and cannot switch the front/back-end applications in combination with the various states of the terminal itself and the state of the application, thereby failing to properly allocate CPU processing. Resources. Summary of the invention

In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a method and a terminal for displaying a multi-window application, providing a multi-window display of a plurality of applications, and switching the pre/background application in combination with various states of the terminal itself and states of the application. , and then allocate CPU processing resources reasonably.

DRAWINGS

1 is a flow chart of a method for displaying a multi-window application according to the present invention;

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a terminal of the present invention. detailed description

The basic idea of the present invention is: the terminal periodically updates the priority of the running application according to the priority update policy; the terminal switches the foreground application and the background application according to the priority of the application, and the terminal displays the foreground application in multiple windows. program.

The priority update policy is a rule for setting an application priority according to the running status of the application and other functions of the terminal to be used by the application.

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

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides a method for displaying a multi-window application, including: Step 101: Presetting a priority update policy in a terminal, and then performing step 102 and step 109 simultaneously.

Here, the priority update policy includes: When calling a newly added application, first set the priority of the application to the default priority. For example, the default priority can be set to one;

Each time a running application is called, the priority of the application is incremented by one; the priority of the application that the user is operating is set to the maximum of the priority of all currently running applications, for example, The maximum value of the priority of all currently running applications is 21, and the priority of the application that the user is operating is set to 22; Periodically detect all running applications, if any application is used The audio/video function sets the priority of the application to the maximum value of the priority in the currently running application, for example, local music, online music, local video, streaming video, etc.; periodic detection For all running applications, if the application uses the communication function, the priority of the application is set to the maximum value of the priority in the currently running application plus one, for example, an application such as a video call or a voice call;

Periodically detect all running applications, if an application uses the mobile network, and when the mobile network signal is strong, the application's priority is set to the next highest priority value of all current applications, when the mobile network signal When the time is weak, the priority of the application is set to the minimum value of the priority in the currently running application; wherein the mobile network signal is strong and the mobile network signal is weak as a mobile network signal that can be acquired by using the prior art. The measurement results are not described here;

Periodically detecting the power of the terminal itself. If the power is low, set the priority of the application to the minimum priority of the currently running application for the application that has less interaction with the user in the running application. The value of the terminal itself is low, and may be determined according to the preset low battery early warning threshold. For example, when the terminal power is lower than the low battery warning threshold, the terminal itself has low power;

If there is an application with the same priority, the operation of the application that is started first takes precedence over the operation of the application that is started later. Step 102: The terminal determines in real time whether a call instruction for any one application is received. If yes, step 103 is performed; if not, the process flow ends.

Here, the calling instruction for any one application is: the user needs to use any one application, the user selects the application on the terminal, and the terminal initiates a call instruction to the application when the application is called;

The calling instruction includes: an identifier of an application to be called and specific calling instruction information, and the method for generating the calling instruction is prior art, and is not mentioned here; the identifier of the application may be the name of the application. .

Step 103: The terminal determines whether the application invoked by the user is a newly added application or an running application. If it is a newly added application, step 104 is performed; if it is a running application, step 108 is performed.

Here, the determination is: using the identifier of the application to be called in the calling instruction, and comparing with the identifiers of all the currently running applications, if the identifiers of all the currently running applications are the same as those in the calling instructions. If the identity of the called application is different, the application called by the user is a new application; otherwise, it is the running application.

Step 104: The terminal determines whether the total number of currently running applications is less than the upper limit quantity of the runnable application. If the value is less than, the terminal performs step 105; if not less, the new application is not added, and the process ends. .

Here, the upper limit quantity value of the executable application is a value preset according to an actual situation, for example, may be set to twenty;

The application added without increasing the running includes: The terminal prompts the user that the application cannot be added, and the processing flow ends.

Step 105: The terminal determines whether the number of windows of the currently displayed application is less than the upper limit of the display window. If it is less, step 106 is performed; otherwise, step 107 is performed.

Here, the upper limit of the display window is a home screen capable of being preset at the terminal according to an actual situation. The maximum number of windows displayed in the screen, for example, can be preset to four.

Step 106: The terminal adds the newly added application to a display window of the home screen, and then performs step 109.

Step 107: The terminal switches a foreground application to the background, adds the newly added application to the display window of the foreground application, and then performs step 109.

Specifically: the terminal sets the priority of the newly added application as a default priority according to the preset priority update policy;

The terminal selects the application with the lowest priority among the current foreground application, switches the application to the background execution, and then displays the new display area and display size of the original display window of the application switched to the background execution. The application is added; and the terminal sets the priority of the newly added application to the maximum value of the priority of all currently running applications according to the preset priority update policy, and saves the name of the newly added application. , Business Type, Display Area, Display Size, and Priority, then go to step 109.

Step 108: The terminal highlights the window of the application, and then performs step 109. Specifically: the terminal updates the measurement according to the priority, and increases the priority of the running application that is called this time by one;

The terminal determines whether the application invoked by the user is a foreground application or a background application, and if it is a foreground application, highlights the window of the foreground application, and sets the priority of the application to the current priority according to the priority update policy. Add the maximum value of the priority of the running application, and save the name, business type, display area, display size and priority of the application, and then perform step 109;

If it is a background application, select a foreground application, switch the foreground application to run in the background, and then switch the background application called by the user to the foreground running state, display the display area and display size of the window, and switch to the background. The running application is the same, and the application's window is highlighted, and the application's priority is set according to the priority update policy. Add one to the maximum value of the priority of all currently running applications, and save the application name, service type, display area, display size, and priority, and then perform step 109; here, select a foreground application The program can select the lowest priority in the foreground application, or select the earliest foreground application to enter the foreground display, or select the application with the least interaction with the user in the foreground application.

Step 109: The terminal updates the policy according to the priority, periodically updates the priority of the running application, and adjusts the front/back office application according to the priority of the application.

Here, the adjusting the application displayed in the window in the main screen according to the priority of the application comprises: the terminal detecting whether any of the background applications has a higher priority than any of the foreground applications, and whether the number of foreground applications is less than The foreground of the system setting displays the upper limit of the application; when any of the background applications has a higher priority than any of the foreground applications, the background application is switched to the foreground display, and the display area and display size of the display window are Switch to the same application running in the background, and update the priority of the application adjusted to the foreground according to the priority update policy, and save the application name, business type, display area, display size and priority; when on the home screen When the number of currently displayed applications is less than the upper limit of the system setting foreground display application, the higher priority background application is added to the home screen, switched to the foreground application for display, and the priority update policy is updated according to the priority update policy. Adjust to the front desk Use the program's priority, and save the application's name, business type, display area, display size, and priority;

The adding the higher priority background application to the home screen is: the terminal operates according to the manner of adding the application selected by the user, if the manner of adding the application selected by the user is increased one by one on the home screen The displayed application prompts the user to select the display scale, and then adds the background application to the main screen window in order of the display scale and the priority of the application running in the background, until the foreground is displayed. The number of applications reaches the upper limit of the foreground display application; If the user selects the method of adding the application to display multiple applications on the main screen at one time, according to the multi-window upper limit value of the preset display application, the priority is selected from high to low. You can add the application on the main screen of the foreground, and then calculate the display area and display size of the window of the application added to the main screen at one time according to the preset display ratio, and add all the selected applications to the application at one time. The main screen is in the display window.

In the foregoing step 106, the adding the application to the display window of the main screen includes the following steps:

Step a: The terminal sets the priority of the newly added application as the default priority according to the preset priority update policy.

Step b: The terminal prompts the user to select the display ratio of the display window, and receives the display ratio of the display window selected by the user.

Here, the display ratio of the display window is: a preset value preset according to an actual demand, for example, may be preset to be 50% and 25%.

Step c: The terminal determines whether the front-end application needs to be replaced according to the display ratio of the display window selected by the user, and if necessary, performs step d; if not, performs step e.

Here, the determining whether it is necessary to replace the foreground application is: calculating the display size of the display window required by the newly added application according to the display ratio selected by the user, and displaying the display size of the display window according to the newly added application If it is determined, the other foreground applications can be displayed with a minimum display ratio that is not lower than the preset. If it is, you do not need to replace the foreground application; if not, you need to replace the foreground application.

Step d: The terminal selects the foreground application with the lowest priority, switches the foreground application to the background application, and then adjusts the display area and display size of the display window of the remaining foreground application according to the display window selected by the user. After displaying the scale, calculating the display area and display size of the display window of the newly added application, adding the newly added application to the display window of the main screen according to the calculated display area and display size, the terminal according to the preset Priority The level update policy sets the priority of the newly added application to the maximum value of the priority of all currently running applications, and saves the newly added application name, service type, display area, display size, and The priority of this new application.

Here, the display area and the display size of the display window of the remaining foreground application are adjusted as follows: the terminal views the display area and the display size of the original display window of the application switched to the background, and the newly added application with the calculated display The required display area is compared with the display size. If the former is smaller than the latter, the terminal adjusts the display window of the remaining foreground application to the minimum display ratio; if the former is not smaller than the latter, the display of the remaining foreground applications is not adjusted. The display area and display size of the window directly add the newly added application to the original display window of the application switched to the background.

Step e: The terminal adjusts the display area and the display size of the display window of the remaining foreground application, and adds the newly added application to the foreground display window according to the display ratio selected by the user, and the terminal updates the policy according to the preset priority. The priority of the newly added application is set to the maximum value of the priority of all currently running applications, and the name, service type, display area, display size and priority of the newly added application are saved.
