Moreover, the user can also generate a avatar instruction by triggering the "+" button in FIG.

At present, for example, the operating system of the Android system is multi-user, and its original design purpose is to isolate, for example, a usage scenario, which can create two users: one user installs the user's private application, and another user installs User's enterprise application. Private applications and enterprise applications are isolated from each other and do not affect each other. Therefore, the data areas of different operating system users are currently isolated from each other and are invisible to each other, that is, an application corresponding to one storage space does not have access rights to corresponding data areas of other storage spaces. For example, the operating system can place data in data areas of different storage spaces in a sandbox to enable isolation between data areas of different operating system users through a sandbox.

In still another optional embodiment of the present application, the storage space may include: a data area, and an application corresponding to one storage space has access rights to corresponding data areas of other storage spaces. The data area may be used to store data generated by the user in the process of using the main body application or each of the avatar applications.

The embodiments of the present application can support mutual access between applications corresponding to different storage spaces, so that the data access requirements between applications corresponding to different storage spaces in a specific scenario of the application are satisfied.

In an application example of the present application, it is assumed that a user installs a main body application and a avatar application of a social-like APP on a smart terminal (assumed to be a avatar application 1, a avatar application 2, etc.), if the user wants to avatar one of them The image, video, or file generated or received by the application is transmitted on the main body application or other avatar application, and the mutual access between the data areas of different storage spaces in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented to realize the interaction between the avatar application and the main body application. Or data access requirements between avatar applications. It should be noted that the mutual access of the data areas of different storage spaces may include: data access between the avatar application of the same APP and the main application, or between the avatar applications, and may also include: the avatar application and the main application of different APPs. Data access between applications, or between applications. For example, the image generated by the camera class APP on the operating system user ID_0 can be accessed by the social class APP above the operating system user ID_1, the operating system user ID_2, ... the operating system user ID_N. It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application are specific to each other. Access is not restricted.

In an optional embodiment of the present application, the storage path of the corresponding data area of different storage spaces may be saved by using the same database, so that the data corresponding to the data area is provided to the application corresponding to one storage space by the database. . For example, all the images received by the main body application and the avatar application, and/or the pictures taken with the camera are stored in their respective storage spaces, but the path information of these pictures is placed in the same database; thus, the application can be applied to the avatar Or the main app provides the same gallery list to allow the avatar app or the host app to access the images in the gallery list. Optionally, the gallery list may include: all of the main body applications and images received by the avatar application, and/or pictures taken using a camera.

In still another optional embodiment of the present application, in the responding to the avatar creation request, acquiring a storage space in which the application is not installed; wherein the storage space is used to represent a user space provided to an operating system Before the step 102 of the space, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include: determining whether the instance of the application exceeds an instance threshold, and if not, executing the responding to the avatar creation request to obtain the application not installed Storage space; wherein the storage space is used to characterize the step 102 of providing space to an operating system user.

The foregoing example threshold of the embodiment of the present application may be used to indicate an upper limit of the number of supported instances. In an actual application, the instance threshold may be obtained according to hardware resources of the smart terminal and hardware resources occupied by the instance of the application, and That is, the above instance threshold may be determined according to hardware resources of the smart terminal and hardware resources occupied by one instance of the application. For example, if the memory of the smart terminal is M ₁ and the memory occupied by one instance of the application is M ₂ , the number of supported instances may be M ₁ /M ₂ , where both M ₁ and M ₂ are positive integers.

The foregoing determines whether the instance of the application exceeds an instance threshold, and can avoid problems such as poor performance of the smart terminal caused by the number of instances of the application exceeding the instance threshold.

It can be understood that when the determination result of the instance of the application exceeds the instance threshold is YES, the embodiment of the present application may send corresponding prompt information, for example, the prompt information may be the upper limit of the number of multiple instances, or the number of avatar applications. Reach the upper limit and so on.

At least one of a picture related operation message and an application installation related message. Taking a picture-related operation message as an example, a camera-like APP for obtaining system resources is usually installed on the main operation user ID, and cannot be separated on the sub-operation user ID, so that if the sub-operation user ID is above the avatar If the application needs to access the system resources of the camera APP, the preset preset message rules may be preset, for example, the message type is a picture related operation message, the source operation user ID is an arbitrary sub user ID, and the destination operation user ID is mainly Operation user ID, etc. It can be understood that a preset message rule can be preset according to the actual application requirement, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific preset message rule.

In an actual application, for example, the message management module of the message manager may first try to respond to the message request on the first storage space, if the application corresponding to the first storage space does not have the condition for responding to the message request (for example, some system components) (such as the camera component), can not be installed in the secondary operating system user ID, therefore, the application corresponding to the secondary operating system user does not have the condition to respond to the photo request), or if the application corresponding to the first storage space cannot respond to the message request (also That is, the attempt to respond to the failure), the second storage space corresponding to the message request may be obtained by using the preset message rule, and the second storage space may correspond to the target operating system user ID. Specifically, the first operating system user ID and the message type of the message may be matched with the source operating system user ID and the preset message type of the preset message rule. If the matching succeeds, the corresponding target operating system user may be obtained. ID, and requesting the corresponding destination operating system user ID to send the message request to the message, so that the destination operating system user ID responds to the message request.

It should be noted that, when the first operating system user ID and the message type requested by the message fail to match the source operating system user ID and the preset message type of all the preset message rules, the purpose of the message request cannot be obtained. The operating system user ID, so it is possible to issue a prompt message such as a message request not responding.
