1 is a schematic flowchart of an application control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. A method for controlling an application program in an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail in the following with reference to FIG. S101 - step S104.

Step S101: Monitor the current screen state of the terminal device.

Specifically, the processor of the terminal device or the terminal device or the related processing module (following the same, no further description), monitors the current screen state of the terminal device in real time, wherein the screen state mainly includes a black screen state and a lighting state. It can be understood that the period of monitoring the screen state of the terminal device may be real-time or may be performed according to a certain time interval, which is not specifically limited by the present invention. In general, when the screen status is considered to be in a black screen state, the user is not currently using it. When the screen status is lit, the user is currently using it. It can be understood that, in some special cases, for some music classes or applications that do not require visual participation, there may be cases where the screen of the terminal device is in a black screen state, but the user is actually using it.

Step S102: When it is detected that the screen of the terminal device is in a black screen state, the current time is acquired.

Specifically, when the terminal device detects that the screen of the terminal device enters a black screen state during the monitoring process, the current corresponding time is obtained. Among them, the moment refers to a specific time, and is represented by a point on the time axis.

Step S103: If it is determined that the current time is within the first time period of the target date, then close First level application.

Specifically, determining whether the current time is within a first time period of the target date, the first time period represents a time period during which the user needs to rest or a time period in which the application is not required to be used, that is, automatically shuts down in the first time period. First-level applications (such as applications that users use less frequently). The nature of the target date can be understood as a natural day, but since the method flow in the embodiment of the present invention can be periodically repeated, and considering the personalized experience of the user, it can be set by the user, for example, the present invention. All current moments, first time period, second time period, etc. mentioned in the embodiments may refer to moments on the same day or in the same time period, the same day refers to the same natural day, and the time period is not Limited to the same day from 0:00 to 24:00 (in a 24-hour period), it can also be from 12:00 on the current day to 12:00 on the next day (with a 24-hour period) or 22:00 on the same day. At 22:00 the next day (with a 24-hour period), it can be flexibly set up, not limited to the natural day in the traditional sense, that is, as long as it is a complete 24-hour time period, and the start time of its time period And the termination time can be customized according to the user's personal habits.

For example, the first time period is from 22:00 in the evening to 8:00 in the morning of the next day, and can be regarded as the normal rest time of the user. During the rest period (the first time period), the user needs to rest, so it is required Close the application on the terminal device, but if you close all the applications from 12:00 to 22:00, it may cause some inconvenience to the user. For example, the user usually rests at 22:00 in the evening, at which time the terminal device is At 22:00, all applications are quit and closed. If the user suddenly delays sleeping for ten minutes and needs to use the application that has just been closed during this time period, then the terminal device exits and closes. It is just a reaction that causes the user to reopen the application that exits the shutdown, which is complicated. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, only the first level application is closed in the first time period, and the first level application mainly includes an application whose user frequency is relatively low, that is, the user is likely to be in the rest period. Applications that are no longer needed, avoid prematurely shutting down applications that users may need to use more frequently in a short period of time.

Step S104: If it is determined that the current time is within the second time period of the target date, the second level application is started.

Specifically, for example, the second time period is 8:00 am to 12:00 am, which can be regarded as the normal wake-up working time of the user, and during the working time period (second time period), the user needs to get up, so the pole A high probability is that the application that is commonly used on the terminal device is enabled. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention automatically turns on the second-level application during the second time period (for example, the user should use a higher frequency. With the program), user operations can be reduced, saving users time waiting for the application to be opened, and improving the user experience.

For example, if the terminal screen is in a black screen state and the current time is 8:00 in the morning, the second level application can be turned on so that the user can use the second level application immediately after getting up. It can be understood that the second-level application is an application that is more commonly used by the user, that is, the historical usage frequency of the second-level application is higher than the historical usage frequency of the first-level application.

In summary, the principle of opening an application in the embodiment of the present invention may be based on an application that is used from a high frequency to a low frequency of use, so that the most commonly used application is first turned on, and the least frequently used application is finally turned on. The application can be closed according to the application from the lower frequency to the higher frequency, so as to ensure that the least frequently used application is closed first, and the more commonly used application is closed.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of another application control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The following is a detailed description of another application control method in the embodiment of the present invention from a terminal device side, which includes The following steps S201 to S209.

Step S201: Pre-stating the frequency of use of the application in the terminal device, and dividing the application level according to the statistical use frequency.

Specifically, the usage habits of the user are collected and analyzed in advance, and usage habit data of the application of the user who uses the terminal device is generated, for example, may include the kind of the application used by the user, and the usage of each application. Frequency, then divide all applications into multiple Levels, for example, the first level represents the lowest frequency of use, and the second level uses a higher frequency. It can be understood that multiple levels of applications can be divided, which can be determined by the user's usage habits or preferences.

Step S202: Monitor the current screen state of the terminal device.

Step S203: When it is detected that the screen of the terminal device is in a black screen state, the current time is acquired.

Step S204: If it is determined that the current time is within the first time period of the target date, the first level application is closed.

Step S205: If it is determined that the current time is within the second time period of the target date, the second level application is started, and the historical usage frequency of the second level application is higher than the history of the first level application. usage frequency.

Specifically, step S202 to step S205 may refer to step S101 to step S104 in the foregoing embodiment of FIG. 1, and details are not described herein again.

Step S206: If it is determined that the current time is within the first time period of the target date, after the current time, when the duration of the black screen state of the screen of the terminal device reaches the first time length, the third time is closed. Level application.

Specifically, if the current time is within the first time period of the target date, if the screen of the terminal device is in a black screen state after the current time, and the time of the black screen state exceeds a certain threshold, (that is, the first length of time), it can be indirectly stated that the user may be a break or temporarily not need to use the application in the terminal device, therefore, if the first level application has been closed, continue to close The third level application can further save power consumption of the terminal device. It can be understood that the historical usage frequency of the third level application is higher than the historical usage frequency of the first level application. That is, the shutdown is performed in the order of low to high according to the frequency of use, as described in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 1. In another embodiment, if the screen of the terminal device is not always in the black screen state after the current time, but the screen is lit in the middle interval, in this case, as long as the black screen state is in a certain period of time. When the time exceeds a certain threshold (that is, the first time length), it may also indirectly indicate that the user does not need to use the application in the terminal device temporarily, so if the first level application has been closed, the third level is continued to be closed. application. As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a specific application scenario of an application control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the screen is in a black screen state, the current time is 10:30, and the time is at the first time. In the segment, the first-level application with a lower frequency of use in step S204 is executed, and when the terminal device is always in a black screen state between 22:30 and 23:00 (the first time is half an hour), Then continue to close the third-level application that is used more frequently.

Step S207: If it is determined that the current time is located in the second time period of the target date, after the current time, when the screen of the terminal device is always in a black screen state and the duration reaches the second time length, the first time is turned on. Four-level application.

Specifically, under the premise that the current time is within the second time period of the target date, after the current time, if the screen of the terminal device is always in a black screen state (ie, there is no lighting operation in the middle), and the continuous black screen time is reached. When the second time length is reached, the fourth level application is started. The reason is that if the terminal device has an illuminated operation during the second time period (for example, the user's wake-up working time period), it is likely that the user needs to use the application in the terminal device, that is, if at the second time In the segment, if there is a lighting operation, the fourth level application needs to be opened immediately so that the user can use the operation. Therefore, the purpose of detecting whether the duration of the black screen state of the screen of the terminal device reaches the second time length in the method step is to gradually open various applications in a case where the user has not yet lit the terminal. The historical usage frequency of the fourth level application is lower than the historical usage frequency of the second level application. It should be noted that the fourth level application may also be the first application, as long as the usage frequency is lower than the second level application. As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of another specific application scenario of the application control method according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the screen is in a black screen state, the current time is 9:00, and the time is at the second time. During the time period, the second-level application with the higher use frequency in step S205 is executed, and when the terminal device is always in the black screen state between 9:00 and 9:30 (the second time length is half an hour), Then continue to open the fourth-level application with lower frequency.

It should be noted that all operations related to closing or opening an application in the present invention include the following execution principles or judging process: if the application to be closed or opened has been closed or turned on, it is not necessary to perform the shutdown or The operation that is turned on; or, before the operation to close, determine in advance which of the corresponding levels of applications that need to be closed are turned on, then close the open applications, and the corresponding level of applications that are not currently open, The open operation may not be performed; similarly, before the application needs to be opened, it may be determined in advance which of the corresponding levels of applications that need to be turned on are turned off, and then those applications that are in the closed state are turned on, and The open application can not perform the open operation.

Step S208: If it is determined that the current time is located in the second time period of the target date, after the current time, when the screen of the terminal device is detected to be in the lighting state, the fourth level is turned on. application.

Specifically, when the current time is located in the second time period of the target date (for example, getting up, active, or working time period), after the current time, if the screen of the terminal device is detected to be in the lighting state, Open the fourth level application (the second level application is already open). That is, as long as the screen of the terminal device is detected to be lit, even if the time when the screen of the terminal device is in the black screen state does not reach the predetermined time (the second time length), it indicates that the user currently needs to use or is about to use an application. Therefore, the fourth level application can be directly opened without judging other details. Wherein, the historical usage frequency of the fourth-level application is lower than the historical usage frequency of the second-level application, that is, the high-to-low frequency is used according to the usage frequency as described in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. .

Step S209: When it is detected that the screen of the terminal device is in the lighting state, the current time is acquired, and if it is determined that the current time is within the second time period of the target date, the second level application is started.

Specifically, in the second time period (the user wakes up the working time period), at any time, as long as the terminal device is detected to be lit, it indicates that the user may need to use the application in the terminal device at this time. Actively open the application that users usually use, so that users do not need to manually operate it. It should be noted that the time period in the embodiment of the present invention may further be subdivided. For example, for different time periods, the corresponding applications of the same level are different applications, and may be the same for different dates. Level-level applications correspond to different applications. For example, the most frequently used application in the morning may be news. The most frequently used in the evening may be video. In general, it may be more biased towards office or chat applications. The present invention is not specifically limited thereto.
