detailed description

It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

The invention provides a focus positioning method when an application is switched.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart diagram of a first embodiment of a focus positioning method when an application is switched according to the present invention.

In the first embodiment, the focus positioning method when the application is switched includes:

Step S10, monitoring an application switching instruction on the terminal;

In this embodiment, since the application performs the switching of the focus while performing the switching, in order to ensure that the focus does not occur when the application is switched, the switching instruction between the plurality of applications running on the terminal is performed. Detection. For example, it can detect a button event of a user performing an application and focus switching by pressing a button, and can also monitor an application and a focus switching event on the terminal by detecting a position change between a plurality of applications running on the terminal. The application and the focus switching event on the terminal are monitored in various other manners, which are not limited herein.

Step S20: When the application switching instruction is detected, acquiring focus occupancy information of the currently switched application;

When the application and the focus switching event on the terminal are detected, multiple applications that are currently switching are found, and the focus occupancy information of the plurality of applications currently switching is obtained. The focus occupancy information may be information such as a focus occupancy count, a focus occupation duration, and a focus occupancy weight corresponding to each application set in advance.

Step S30, positioning the current focus into the application window whose focus occupancy information meets the preset condition.

After obtaining the focus occupancy information such as the focus occupancy time, the focus occupation time, and the focus occupancy weight of the currently switched application, the focus occupancy information may be selected according to the focus occupancy information, and the multiple applications that are currently switching are selected. An application whose focus occupancy information meets the preset conditions, such as an application that selects the most focus focus, the longest focus duration, or the largest focus weight from among multiple applications currently switching, and positions the current focus to In the selected application window. Since the selected application is the application with the most focus, the longest focus time, or the largest focus weight among the multiple applications currently switching, the selected application is the application that the user often uses the focus control. It is also the application that is most likely to meet the user's focus on the final positioning requirements when multiple applications are switched.

In this embodiment, when the application switching instruction is detected, the focus occupancy information of the currently switched application is acquired, and the current focus is located in the application window whose focus occupancy information meets the preset condition. Since the current focus is explicitly positioned by using the focus occupancy information of each application currently switched when the multiple applications are monitored for switching, the current focus can be targeted to the currently switched application that meets the preset condition. The application window avoids the loss of focus when multiple applications switch, making it easier for users to operate the application after switching.

Further, in other embodiments, the foregoing step S10 may include:

In this embodiment, when monitoring an application and a focus switching event on the terminal, the background application and the non-focus control application on the terminal may be filtered first. Since background applications and non-focus control applications do not involve focus usage in multiple application switching, they will not focus on background applications and non-focus control applications when multiple applications are switched. In the program. Therefore, filtering the background application and the non-focus control application on the terminal can narrow the detection range, and the monitoring efficiency is higher. Moreover, since the positioning and switching of the focus generally occur in the currently running application on the terminal screen, the application switching instruction currently running on the terminal screen can be monitored, such as monitoring the currently running application on the terminal screen. The change in focus occupancy or position change, etc. Specifically, the two application TV applications and the Shortkey application that have the longest running time among the several applications currently running on the terminal screen can be acquired, and the focus occupancy change or the position change of the TV application and the Shortkey application can be monitored.

Further, in other embodiments, the foregoing step S20 may include:

In this embodiment, when the number of focus occupations of the currently running application on the terminal screen changes within a preset time, it can be determined that the currently running application on the terminal screen is being switched, and the focus is required to be positioned, and then the focus is obtained. The total number of times the focus of the current application that has changed the number of occupations.

Such as when the 2s period, at the 1st, The focus of the TV application is 2 times, the focus of the Shortkey application is 1 time, the second time, the focus of the TV application is 1 time, and the focus of the Shortkey application is 2 times. It can be seen that the focus occupancy of the TV application and the Shortkey application has changed, indicating that the current TV application and the Shortkey application are switching, and the focus needs to be targeted to the switched TV application or Shortkey application. Get the total number of focus occupations of the TV application or Shortkey application, that is, the sum of the focus occupancy times after the terminal is powered on.

Further, in other embodiments, the foregoing step S30 may include:

In this embodiment, after obtaining the total number of focus occupations corresponding to the current application whose focus occupancy times have changed, further comprehensively considering the preset weight calculations previously set for different current applications to obtain each current application corresponding The focus of the focus is on the weight. In this way, the larger the focus occupancy weight, the larger the number of times the corresponding application occupies the focus in the work after the terminal is powered on, and the system dependency is the strongest, and the most likely application is that the user needs to stop the focus after the application is switched. program.

If the total number of focus occupations of the TV application is 3, and the preset weight set for the TV application according to the system dependency is 10, the focus occupancy weight of the TV application is calculated as the product of the total number of focus occupations and the preset weight, ie, The focus occupancy weight is 30. If the total number of focus occupations of the Shortkey application is 10, and the preset weight set for the Shortkey application according to the system dependency is 5, the focus occupancy weight of the Shortkey application is calculated as the product of the total number of focus occupations and the preset weight, that is, The focus occupancy weight is 50. Comparing the focus occupancy weight of the TV application and the Shortkey application, the Shortkey application has the largest focus occupancy weight, which means that when the TV application and the Shortkey application are switching, the Shortkey application with the largest focus weight is the most likely to match the user. The application that focuses on the final positioning needs locates the current focus in the Shortkey application window with the largest focus on the weight.

As shown in FIG. 2, the second embodiment of the present invention provides a focus positioning method when the application is switched. On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, after the step S30, the method further includes:

In step S40, the control of the application program whose focus occupancy information meets the preset condition is set as the current focus selection state.

In this embodiment, after the current focus is positioned to the application window whose focus occupancy information meets the preset condition, the control of the application whose focus occupancy information meets the preset condition may be further set as the current The focus is selected. In this way, the application that the current focus is docked can respond to key events that need to use the control in time, which is more convenient for the user to operate.
