Embodiments of the invention

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments and the embodiments herein may be arbitrarily combined with each other.

The steps shown in the flowchart of the figures may be based on calculations based on a set of computer executable instructions Executed in the machine system. Also, although logical sequences are shown in the flowcharts, in some cases the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the ones described herein.

Application double open, that is, the same application creates two processes, wherein the original process can be called "source application", and another process based on "source application" can be called "double open application". Since the source application and its corresponding dual-open application interface are very similar, the user needs to carefully identify whether the currently used application is the source application or the corresponding dual-open application. Once the user identifies the error, it may cause another social interaction. The circle has serious consequences of inappropriate speech. In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method and an apparatus for starting an application, which can visually distinguish a source application from a corresponding dual-open application. Through the manner provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the user can clearly distinguish the interface of the source application from the interface of the dual-open application, so as to correctly distinguish the working circle and the living circle after starting the application, and avoid the possibility of making inappropriate comments in the social circle. The various embodiments shown below are a detailed description of the method of launching an application herein.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart diagram of a method for starting an application according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method for starting the application provided by this embodiment may include the following steps, namely, S110-S130:

S110. Receive a startup operation of the application.

S120. Determine whether the application is a dual-open application.

In S110 of the embodiment of the present invention, when the user starts the application on the mobile terminal, the source application may be started, or the dual-open application corresponding to a certain source application may be started. Therefore, when receiving the startup operation of the user launching the application, the mobile terminal may first determine or recognize whether the application currently launched by the user is a source application or a dual-open application. Then, the mobile terminal performs different processing according to the determination result. In the embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined in S120 that the application layer program is a dual-open application, then S130 is performed.

S130. Start the dual-open application and display an interface of the dual-open application according to a preset visual scheme.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the determination result in S120 is a double-opening application, after the startup dual-opening application in S130 is executed, a preset visual solution is invoked to display the interface of the dual-opening application, so that the user can clearly distinguish the current startup. Whether it is a source application or a dual-application. Optionally, the preset visual solution may be, for example, a background color value of a status bar in the scene preset by the mobile terminal, such as a background color value of red, green, and blue (abbreviated as: RGB). 1. Then when the user is detected When the dual-open application is active, the mobile terminal control sets the background color value of the status bar of the dual-open application interface to RGB1.

In a practical application, the preset visual solution may further include: setting a status bar icon color to a preset special color value, the system pushing a specific icon on the status bar, and the system adding a special border to the overall interface, etc., of course, The visual solution is not limited to the technical solution disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, as long as the visual solution can distinguish the interface of the source application from the interface of the corresponding dual-open application.

Optionally, FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart diagram of another method for starting an application according to an embodiment of the present invention. On the basis of the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, if it is determined in S120 that the application layer program is a source application, then S140 is performed.

S140. Start the source application.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the determination result of S120 is a source application, the source application interface does not display according to a preset visual scheme, that is, the background color value of the status bar of the source application interface does not display the RGB1.

The method for starting the application provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when receiving the startup operation of the application, determines whether the application is a dual-open application, and when determining that the application is a dual-open application, starting the dual-open application and following The preset visual solution displays the interface of the dual-open application; this embodiment realizes that after launching the application on the mobile terminal interface, the interface of the source application and the dual-open application is presented through different visual solutions, so that the user can clearly distinguish the currently activated Whether the application is a source application or a dual-application, to avoid the possibility of users posting inappropriate comments in the social circle, thereby improving the user experience.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is a schematic flowchart of determining whether an application is a dual-open application in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2. The method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps, that is, S121 to S124:

S121. Check whether a preset first identifier bit exists in an attribute of the application.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the identifier bit in the attribute of the application is preset in advance, that is, after the mobile terminal receives the operation of adding the corresponding dual-open application of a certain source application, for example, the mobile terminal receives the user through the terminal. After the double-open application operation in the main interface or the setting is performed, the operation of adding the double-open application is responded to the operation of adding the double-open application as an independent The application is presented on the main interface. Optionally, in this embodiment, after responding to the operation of adding the dual-open application, the first identifier may also be added in the attribute of the dual-open application, for example, adding the first identifier bit “1” to indicate that the application is a dual-open application; And adding a second identifier to the attribute of the dual-application and the attribute of the source application corresponding to the dual-application, for example, adding the second identifier to the attribute of the dual-application and the attribute of the source application corresponding to the dual-application. Bit "2", the second flag is used to indicate the association of the source application with its corresponding dual-open application.

In this embodiment, after the detection of S121 is performed, when the first identification bit is detected in the attribute of the application, for example, the first identification bit is "1", then S122 is performed. When the first flag is not detected in the attribute of the application, S123 to S124 are executed.

S122. Determine that the application is a dual-open application.

S123. Check whether a preset second identifier bit exists in an attribute of the application.

In this embodiment, after the detection of S123 is performed, when the second identification bit is detected in the attribute of the application, for example, the second identification bit is “2”, S124 is executed, and is not detected in the attribute of the application. When the second flag is reached, the process is terminated.

S124. Determine that the application is a source application.

Through the technical solution described in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, when there is a dual-open application corresponding to the source application, the mobile terminal adds a flag to the attribute of the source application and the attribute of the dual-application corresponding to the source application in advance, so that When the mobile terminal receives the startup operation of the application, it can quickly determine whether the currently triggered application is a source application or a dual-open application.

In an actual application, after the mobile terminal adds the identification bit to the source application of the application and the corresponding dual-open application, when receiving the deletion operation of deleting the application, the terminal is based on whether the current application is the source application or The dual open application performs different deletion processes.

Optionally, when the mobile terminal receives the operation of deleting the source application, the mobile terminal deletes the first identifier bit and the second identifier bit in the dual-open application attribute, for example, deleting, in response to the user deleting the source application. The flag bits "1" and "2" in the dual open application. When the mobile terminal receives the operation of deleting the dual-open application, the mobile terminal deletes the second identifier in the source application attribute, for example, deletes the identifier bit “2” in the source application, in response to the user deleting the dual-open application.

Optionally, during the actual use of the application dual-opening technology, when the user switches from the source application to the When the source application corresponds to the dual-opening application, or when switching from the dual-opening application to its corresponding source application, the commonly used method in the related art is: first returning from the source application to the main interface, and then entering the dual-opening application corresponding to the source application from the main interface portal. Or first return to the main interface from the dual-open application, and then enter the source application corresponding to the dual-open application from the main interface entrance. For example, when the user wants to switch to "WeChat+" or "WeChat 2" in "WeChat", they need to return to the main menu, and then select "WeChat+" or "WeChat 2" to enter; thus, the related technology The switching scheme in the present invention has a problem that the switching process is relatively cumbersome. For the above problem, the embodiment of the present invention proposes another method for starting the application.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart diagram of still another application startup method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method for starting the application provided by this embodiment may include the following steps, namely, S310 to S380:

S310. Receive a startup operation of the application.

S320, determining whether the application is a dual-open application. In the embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined in S320 that the application layer program is a dual-open application, S330 is performed; if it is determined in S320 that the application layer program is a source application, then S340 is performed.

S330. Start the dual-open application and display an interface of the dual-open application according to a preset visual scheme.

S340, start the source application.

For the implementation of S310 to S340 in this embodiment, reference may be made to S110 to S140 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

Optionally, after the S330 is executed, that is, after the dual-opening application is started, the startup method of the application may further include:

S350, reading a source application corresponding to the dual-open application;

S360, when receiving a preset application switching instruction, starting a source application corresponding to the dual-opening application.

Optionally, after the S340 is executed, that is, after the source application is started, the startup method of the application may further include:

S370, reading a dual-open application corresponding to the source application;

S380: When receiving the preset application switching instruction, start the dual-opening application corresponding to the source application and display the interface of the dual-opening application according to a preset visual scheme.

According to the foregoing S350 to S380 in the method provided by the embodiment, after the mobile terminal recognizes that the application initiated by the current user is a source application or a dual-open application, the source application corresponding to the dual-open application is read or the source application is read. Double open the application and detect if there is a preset application switching instruction. The preset application switching instruction may be specifically determined according to the hardware condition of the mobile terminal. For example, if the hardware of the mobile terminal includes a fingerprint verification sensor, the mobile terminal may preset a certain/a certain set of fingerprints as an application switching function fingerprint; in the foreground application interface of the mobile terminal, if the fingerprint verification sensor receives the preset application When the program switches the function fingerprint, the application switching instruction is executed, that is, the currently-enabled foreground application is placed in the background, and the source application or the dual-open application corresponding to the foreground application is started. For another example, if the hardware of the mobile terminal includes an operation pressure detecting device, the mobile terminal may preset a certain pressure threshold and an operation mode (such as tapping or sliding) as a switching function threshold; in the foreground application interface of the mobile terminal, if the pressure is detected When the device detects the tapping or sliding operation when the current operating pressure reaches the preset threshold, the application switching instruction is executed, that is, the currently-enabled foreground application is placed in the background, and the source application or the dual-opening application corresponding to the foreground application is started. In an actual application, the preset application switching instruction may further include other switching modes, a preset special path sliding operation, a preset device action path, a preset voice command, and the like.

Optionally, in the process of performing the application switching, for example, if the currently-enabled foreground application is a dual-open application, when the S350 is executed, the source application corresponding to the dual-open application may be obtained by reading the second identifier. After the source application is read, if the application switching instruction is received, the currently launched dual-opening is applied to the background, and the source application corresponding to the dual-opening application is started. For example, if the currently-used foreground application is a source application, when the S370 is executed, the dual-opening application corresponding to the source application may be obtained by reading the second identifier bit, and after reading the dual-open application, Upon receiving the application switching instruction, the currently started source is applied to the background, and the dual-open application corresponding to the source application is started.

In the actual operation process, there is no obvious sequence between S350 and S360. The source application corresponding to the dual-open application may be read before receiving the application switching instruction, or may be read after receiving the application switching instruction. Take the source application corresponding to the dual-open application. Similarly, there is no obvious sequence between S370 and S380. You can read the dual-open application corresponding to the source application and receive the application switching instruction. You can also read the dual-open corresponding to the source application after receiving the application switching instruction. application. Considering the operation of the related technology, the user is starting a source application or a dual application. After that, it usually switches to the corresponding dual-open application or source application. Therefore, the order of reading the application and then receiving the instruction can be switched after receiving the application switching instruction, thereby improving the application switching efficiency.

The application startup method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can distinguish the source application from its corresponding dual-opening application through different visual solutions when the application is started. At the same time, in the application switching process, the source application can be directly switched to its corresponding dual-open application or switched from the dual-open application to its corresponding source application, thereby avoiding the need to return to the main interface and then enter the source application or the dual-open application in the related technology. The cumbersome operation improves the user experience.

Corresponding to the above method, the present invention also provides an application starting device, which can be used in a mobile terminal, such as a smart phone. The activation device of the application may correspond to the foregoing method embodiments, that is, the details involved in the foregoing method embodiments may be performed by the activation device. Therefore, the summary of the activation device is mainly described for brevity, and the following embodiments are omitted. A detailed description in the middle. The various embodiments shown below are a detailed description of the startup device of the application herein.

The application is still a double-open application. Optionally, the preset visual solution may be, for example, a background color value of a status bar in the scene preset by the mobile terminal, such as a background color value of RGB1. Then, when it is detected that the user initiates the dual-opening application, the mobile terminal controls to set the status bar background color value of the dual-open application interface to RGB1. In an actual application, if the judgment result of the determination module 42 is the source application, the startup module 43 starts the source application, and the background color value of the status bar of the source application interface no longer displays RGB1.
