S110. Obtain an application type of an application currently started by the user.

In S110 of the embodiment, the application type of the current application may be determined according to a current application corresponding to the user triggering operation. Optionally, the user triggering operation may be to trigger an icon corresponding to the application, thereby starting an application that belongs to the same application type as the icon; the user triggering operation may also be a startup switch corresponding to the triggering application, and the startup switch carries the command parameter. Use this command parameter to launch an application of the same type as the current application.

In practical applications, the user triggering operation can be a click or a double click.

S120. Extract keyword information for performing a user operation event on the current application according to a user operation.

In this implementation, the user operation may be a user click event, a user search event, or a user browsing event. The keyword information of the user operation event of the current application is obtained according to the application attribute corresponding to the user operation.

S130. Perform a search instruction on all applications that are the same as the application type of the current application according to the keyword information, and display the search result.

The search display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when the user performs a user operation on the current application by using the classification of the application, starts all applications with the same application type as the current application, and extracts keywords according to the user operation. The information is used to search for and display all the applications of the same application type as the current application, so that when the user performs a click operation, the current application can be switched to the application that the user clicks. Compared with the related art, the embodiment of the present invention can save the time for the user to find and associate the application by classifying the application and starting all the applications of the same application type, and can directly switch between the applications, so that the user does not It is necessary to perform multiple switching operations on multiple applications with relevance, thereby simplifying the operation mode of switching between multiple applications, which is convenient for users to use and improve user experience.

Optionally, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another search and display method according to an embodiment of the present invention. On the basis of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the implementation manner of S120 in this embodiment may be: acquiring a user operation event of the user on the current application, and extracting keyword information according to the user operation event.

In addition, the implementation manner of S130 in this embodiment may include the following steps, that is, S131 to S133:

S131. Broadcast the keyword information to other applications of the same application type as the current application. Key controls of the program;

S132. The other application receives the keyword information and searches for the keyword information, and broadcasts the search result.

S133, displaying the search result.

Optionally, the manner in which the search result is displayed in this embodiment may be in the form of a floating type, a bubble type, or a drop-down list. The search results can be displayed in the form of an application icon, or in the form of text, emoji, and the like.

An embodiment of the present invention further provides a search and display method, as shown in FIG. 3, which is a flowchart of still another search and display method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The search display method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps, namely, S210 to S240:

S210. Divide the application into different application types.

Optionally, the implementation manner of dividing the application type in the embodiment may be: performing division according to a classification rule preset by the system, or dividing according to a specified operation of the user.

The preset classification rule may be formulated according to, for example, an attribute of the application, a function of the application, a developer of the application, or the like.

Optionally, S210 in this embodiment may include the following steps, that is, S2101 to S2102:

S2101: Divide the application into different application types according to a preset classification rule or according to a user selection;

In an optional implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the foregoing has explained that the preset classification rule may be formulated according to an attribute of the application, a function of the application, a developer of the application, or the like. The implementation of classifying an application according to a preset classification rule can be implemented in the following three ways:

Method 1: After the terminal is powered on or enters standby, the application processing module accesses the application of the android system framework (Application, referred to as app), pri-app or other-app, etc. by preferentially starting the service program. All Android installation packages (Android Package, referred to as: APK) or Android executable files (ODEX) files are classified according to the classification rules preset by the application processing module.

Method 2: The application processing module waits for the system to be loaded and waits, that is, the Android desktop launcher (launcher) is started, and accesses the database access interface of the launcher, and lists all the application package names (packageName) and the startup name of the scan local ( activityName). In actual applications, you can obtain the db file corresponding to the local launcher, classify it according to the preset classification rules, or classify it by accessing the network or the cloud.

Mode 3: When the user selects to download the application, the application processing module records related information or keywords of the download interface, or directly synchronizes the classification information of the application from the network.

In another optional implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the dividing the application into different application types according to the user selection may include: after the user installs an application, the user is prompted whether to classify, and the user selects a category that is preferred by the user. .

Usually, the classification is mainly based on preset classification rules. The classification based on user selection cannot be too much.

S2102, identifying an application type.

Optionally, the implementation manner of identifying the application type in this embodiment may be implemented by using an explicit identification manner or an implicit identification manner.

The explicit identification manner is, for example, that the icon of the application with the same application type is marked with the same identifier and displayed;

An optional implementation manner of the display identifier is: in the first explicit identification process, updating the icon of the application with the same application type, and displaying the icon of the application with the same application type in the form of an icon collection, according to the application. The program's startup frequency determines the order in which the icons for each application within the icon collection are displayed.

In an actual application, the application processing module updates the icon of the application on the launcher, and displays the icon of the application with the same application type in the same icon folder on the desktop, that is, in the form of an icon collection, according to the startup frequency of the application. To determine the icon display of the main application of the icon folder and the display order of the icons of each application in the icon folder. For example, if the system or user classifies tmall.app and jd.app as applications of the same application type, the icons of the two applications are placed in the same icon folder, which can be named buy.dir. Then the UI layer can be displayed in the form of a layered icon or a multi-picture thumbnail icon. In the icon folder For example, the icon of each application can be sorted according to the user's previous frequency or activity; for example, if the user uses the application tmall.app frequently, the tmall.app in the icon folder is sorted before jd.app.

Another optional implementation manner of the display identifier is: in the second explicit identification process, extracting icons of applications with the same application type, and performing angular label processing on the icons of the application types with the same application type, and updating The icons of the above applications make the icons of the applications of the same application type have the same logo.

In an actual application, the application processing module extracts an icon of the application, and performs an angular processing operation on the icon of the application. For example, you can call bitmap to add letters or other identification operations, mark the logo to the prominent position of the icon, and replace the icon of the update application. In addition, you can use icon processing methods such as reverse color and heavy coloring so that the icons of applications with the same application type have the same logo. Thereby, the difference of the icon of the application is displayed, and the recognition degree of the application icon is improved by the user.

Optionally, the implicit identification mode can be registered by using an application of the same application type. Implementations can be tracked and written to a file using a linked list structure.

S220. Obtain an application type of an application currently started by the user, and start an application of the same application type as the current application.

Corresponding to the first identification process of identifying the application type by using the explicit identification manner in the S2102 of the embodiment, the implementation manner of the S220 may be: acquiring an icon of the current application triggered by the user, and starting the icon set of the icon of the current application. All applications within.

In the actual application, the user clicks on the icon folder, wherein the click operation may or may not be decomposed. The decomposition process includes: the user clicks on the icon folder, displays the icon of the first application of the icon folder, and the user clicks the icon of the main application to start the first application, and after the application processing module captures the event, All applications in the trigger icon folder are launched; all applications in the icon folder are launched in the background. Of course, the click operation in the above process may be replaced with a method of using a double-click or multi-click on the icon folder, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Take the android system as an example to illustrate, use the shell command to start the package+activity in the corresponding icon folder, for example, in the usage scenario of the shopping application, through the shell command Move the following:

Shell start com.alibaba.taobao.tamll/firstList.activity;

Shell start com.jindong.jd/userselector.activity, after the application is started, the process control module is responsible for monitoring the memory area of all variables generated by the two main activities, mainly responsible for monitoring and protecting the memory variables, and can also be controlled by the process. The module copies the address of the memory area to the new management queue, such as the dirActivity queue, through memory scheduling. At this time, the queue is a subset of the android process queue, and the process control module is mainly used to ensure that the two or more main processes are located at the top of the task when the memory pair is allocated, so as to facilitate subsequent switching or not being subjected to the system process. Kill.

Corresponding to the second identification process of identifying the application type by using the explicit identification manner in the S2102 of the embodiment, the implementation manner of the S220 may be: acquiring an icon of the current application triggered by the user, and starting an icon with the current application. An application with the same identity.

Optionally, the implementation manner of S220 in this embodiment may be: acquiring an operation instruction that triggers a user to start a switch, and the operation instruction of the startup switch carries a command parameter, and the application parameter of the current application is started by the command parameter. application.

Optionally, a hover switch can be set, and the hover switch carries a command parameter, and the command parameter can start an application of the same application type as the current application. For example, if the user browses the interface of an application and wants to compare other applications, click the floating switch. After the floating switch is turned on, the default one is a floating box, and the command parameter starts the application with the same application type as the current application. In practical applications, if the user is not satisfied with the current display result, he can click the open switch to perform a +1 operation to additionally launch other applications.

S230. Extract keyword information for performing a user operation event on the current application according to a user operation.

S240. Perform a search instruction on all applications that are the same as the application type of the current application according to the keyword information, and display the search result.

Optionally, S230 in this embodiment may include: acquiring a user operation event of the current application by the user, and extracting keyword information according to the user operation event.

In this embodiment, the implementation of S230 may be: identifying a key control of the current control or a user focus point parent-child control, and capturing a user click, search, or browse event of the current first application. Taking the android system as an example, the uiautomator service is used to obtain the key controls and attributes of the current activity, and the keyword information is obtained according to the application attribute of the current user operation event.

Optionally, S240 in this embodiment may include the following steps, that is, S2401 to S2403:

S2401: Broadcast keyword information to key controls of other applications of the same application type as the current application;

In this embodiment, the keyword information is defined as a global variable placed in a fixed position in the memory, and then other applications use uiautomator to separate key controls of other launched applications of the same application type, and then pass the keyword information to each corresponding Key controls.

S2402: The other application receives the keyword information and searches for the keyword information, and broadcasts the search result.

In an embodiment of the present example, corresponding to the above S230, S2401 to S2402, if the display interface of a product that the user currently stays at a certain treasure (application name) is captured, the control name obtained in the browserinformation.activity interface is obtained. If the field is orange, then the orange is positioned as a public static key, and broadcasted to other applications. After receiving the broadcast, other applications start the uiautomator navigation program, and enter the value in the edittext control or search control of the application. Then call the agent of uiautomator and start the navigation program to determine.

Generally, for the search control, you only need to use Enter to confirm, you can start the search. For edittext, you can use the setText method to enter the text, and then retrieve the button with the text attribute ok to confirm, so as to perform the corresponding activity navigation.

At the same time, other applications that have been launched are processed in their own interface and update the state of their activity. If it is hit, it returns true. If it does not hit, it returns false. The results are directed to broadcast.

S2403. Display search results.

Alternatively, the form of the display may be in the form of a floating type, a bubble type, or a drop-down list.

The display of the display result can directly display the application icons of the current activities, or display only the results, and the result can be text or emoji.

When the search result is displayed in a floating manner, as shown in FIG. 4, a flow chart for displaying the search result in the search display method provided in the embodiment shown in FIG. That is, the S2403 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 can be packaged. The following steps are included, namely S41 to S43:

S41. Determine whether the keyword information is searched for. When the keyword information is searched for, S42 is performed; when the keyword information is not searched, S43 is performed.

S42. Display the keyword information in a floating manner;

In this embodiment, the keyword information may include, but is not limited to, key controls, key words, key pictures, and the like. When multiple keyword information is searched, for example, key controls and/or key words can be suspended in priority.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a schematic diagram of a display effect in a search display method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a screen effect diagram when a keyword information is searched during a user browsing process, wherein a dotted frame is displayed. A menu box that represents the user's actual preview. This menu box can be semi-transparent to prevent occlusion of the font or information behind it. The several dashed boxes in Figure 5 are the contents of the keyword information displayed by other applications of the same type (not the current application).

S43. Hovering displays the entire application interface, or floating display the zoom box of the zoom ratio.

In S43 of this embodiment, while the entire application interface is hovered, the user's scrolling operation can also be tracked.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6 , another display effect diagram of the search display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is provided. FIG. 6 is a screen effect diagram when the keyword information is not searched during the browsing process of the user, and the entire display is displayed. An application interface or a scaled floating box in which the second, third, and fourth applications are the same application type as the first application.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, when the search result is displayed in a bubble type, if the bubble synchronously displays the search or browsing interface of other applications, the corresponding effect enhancement mode is finger synchronization tracking. For example, the A application is currently displaying the interface on the upper layer of the UI, and then the finger sliding on the interface can synchronously display the image of the corresponding area in the floating frame, and it is necessary to distinguish whether the user's operation is a sliding or an input operation.

Optionally, in this embodiment, S2403 may include: some east (application name) searches for a corresponding result in the searchbar control of the main interface, and an element of the searched interface is obviously marked as “a total of searched orange products”. How many "such information or "no such products, etc.", the listview control property at this time is the name or null, the uiautomator server running at this time can capture The result of this attribute is sent to the event processing module, and the event processing module performs data encapsulation and passes it to the upper display module. After the upper display module captures the result, the search result is displayed in a floating, bubble or drop-down list. In the user UI interface.

S250. Receive a user operation, and switch the current application to an application corresponding to the user operation.

In S250 of this embodiment, according to the displayed search result, the user can click or double-click the application of interest, and after receiving the click or double-click operation of the user, the current application is switched to the user click or double-click operation. s application.

Optionally, when the search result of the embodiment is displayed in a floating, bubble or drop-down list, a hook application is established for the user to view, or click to jump. When a user click is received, the current application is directly switched to the application that the user clicked.

For example, the UI layer will display the words "some east xxx" in the floating, bubble or drop-down list. At this time, the user clicks the drop or the bubble will directly switch, and the application of the east application retrieves the result list interface. Scheduling by the management module to the current active interface or user interface. At the same time, the bubble replacement is displayed as "some treasure orange".

Optionally, when the user performs a page turning operation or the like in the display interface of the current application, the user will get a synchronous update in the bubble.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when an operation instruction for adding, deleting, or updating an application is received by the user, the system automatically updates the set of applications of the same application type as the application. The update mode is the same as that of S210, and will not be described here.

In this embodiment, for updating the information of the application and the process status, the result can be displayed by using a drop-down display method, and the user views the result through a drop-down menu.

The search and display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, by classifying an application, simultaneously launching all applications with the same current application type, determining keyword information according to user operations, searching and displaying corresponding application information through keyword information, according to user clicks Action, switch the current app to the app that the user clicked.
