2 is a flow chart of a display mode switching method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the display mode switching method of the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps: S202: acquiring information of an application that the terminal wants to run in the foreground, and acquiring a display mode currently running by the terminal as the first display mode; S204, determining The display mode supported by the application running in the foreground is the second display mode; and S206, when the second display mode does not include the first display mode, the display mode of the terminal is automatically switched to the second display mode.

Through the above steps, when the second display mode supported by the application to be run in the foreground does not include the currently displayed first display mode, the display mode of the terminal is automatically switched to the second display mode. The technical problem that the terminal can not automatically switch the display mode in the related art is solved, the user experience is improved, the display quality related to the application is enhanced, and the application display is differentiated.

It should be understood that the display mode switching method of the embodiment of the present disclosure may be implemented by a single screen terminal, a dual screen terminal, a multi-screen terminal, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

4 is a schematic structural diagram of a dual screen terminal of an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the dual screen terminal has two screens S1 and S2, and the two screens are connected by a rotating shaft or other connecting members.

In some embodiments, the second display mode may be one or more display modes, and may exist in a list or a collection when the second display mode is a plurality of display modes. Switching the terminal to any of the second display modes supported by the application to be run in the foreground, or selecting the display mode in the second display mode supported by the application to be run in the foreground by the priority order.

In some embodiments, obtaining the information of the application that the terminal wants to run in the foreground may include: acquiring information of the application that the terminal wants to run in the foreground when the running state of the terminal changes. Changes in the operating state of the terminal may result in changes to the application running in the foreground, and the display modes supported by different applications may be different.

In this embodiment, the change of the running state of the terminal may be, but is not limited to, starting the application, closing the application, switching the application running in the foreground to the background running, switching the application running in the background to the foreground running, returning to the home page, starting the application failure, and the like.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, acquiring information of an application to be run by the terminal in the foreground may include: S11: acquiring a top-of-stack task in a task stack of the terminal; and S12, acquiring an activity stack of the top-top task. The topmost activity; and S13, the information of the corresponding application is obtained from the topmost activity of the activity stack.

In some embodiments, the second display mode supported by the application running in the foreground can be determined by a variety of factors, such as operator recommendations, application attributes, user preferences, and the like. For example, for an operator-promoted application, displaying in an operator-recommended display mode may be able to take full advantage of dual or multi-screen space. As another example, some applications may not support a certain display mode, which may be determined by the developer of the application. As an example, the attribute resizeableActivity in the AndroidManifest.xml of the application in the Android system may be set to false, so that the application does not support the split screen display mode, if the currently running display mode is the split screen display mode, If you want to run the application in the foreground, you need to switch the display mode to single-screen display mode, otherwise it may cause display errors. In addition, if the app is running abnormally in some display mode, the app can be added to a specific blacklist or whitelist. The blacklist may include a display mode that is not supported by the application, and the whitelist may include a display mode supported by the application. For example, if an application (such as an application provided by an operator) only supports the single A display mode, the application is added to a white list that supports only the single A display mode, so that even if the current display mode is the dual display mode, the foreground should be run. When applied, the display mode switches to single A display mode. Blacklists or whitelists can also be created or modified based on user preferences.

In some embodiments, determining the second display mode supported by the application to be run in the foreground may include determining a second display mode supported by the application according to the blacklist and/or the whitelist. It is of course also possible to determine the second display mode supported by the application by temporarily collecting the information of the application, such as in the case where the application is a newly downloaded application.

In some embodiments, the display mode switching method of the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include setting the first display mode to the display mode to be restored when the second display mode does not include the first display mode.

In some embodiments, the display mode switching method of the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: after setting the first display mode to the display mode to be restored, when the operating state of the terminal changes, the display mode of the terminal is changed from The second display mode is switched to the first display mode. Thus, for example, when the application running in the foreground supporting the second display mode is turned off or turned to run in the background, the first display mode can be resumed, that is, the default first display mode can be preferentially used.

In this embodiment, the first display mode may include at least one of the following display modes: a split screen display mode of a single screen terminal, a single screen display mode of a dual screen terminal, a dual screen mirror display mode of a dual screen terminal, and a dual screen The dual screen splicing display mode of the terminal and the dual screen split screen display mode of the dual screen terminal.

Display mode, dual screen split screen display mode for dual screen terminals.

The single-screen display mode of the dual-screen terminal can be simply referred to as a single-A display mode, which refers to an application that operates on only one screen of the dual-screen terminal, which is consistent with the full-screen display of the single-screen terminal. The dual-screen mirroring mode of the dual-screen terminal can be simply referred to as the A|A display mode, which means that for the dual-screen terminal, the running application is simultaneously displayed on two screens, that is, the same content is displayed on the two screens. The dual-screen splicing display mode of the dual-screen terminal may be referred to as a large A display mode, which refers to an application in which two screens are spliced together as one screen display for a dual-screen terminal, and each of the two screens respectively displays the application. part. The dual-screen split-screen display mode of the dual-screen terminal can be simply referred to as the A|B display mode, which means that for the dual-screen terminal, the two screens respectively display different applications. Of course, the terminal is not limited to including two screens, and may also include three or more screens. When the terminal includes more than two screens, the dual screen described in the present disclosure only represents any two screens of the terminal, the terminal Other screens can be displayed in a similar manner.

In some embodiments, the display mode switching device may further include: a setting module 45 configured to set the first display mode to the display mode to be restored when the second display mode does not include the first display mode.

FIG. 6 is a structural block diagram of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the terminal may include a processor 50 and a memory 52 storing instructions executable by the processor 50. When the instructions are executed by the processor 50, the following operations are performed: acquiring an application of the terminal to be run in the foreground Information, and obtaining a display mode in which the terminal is currently running as the first display mode; determining a display mode supported by the application to be run in the foreground as the second display mode; and displaying the terminal when the second display mode does not include the first display mode The mode is switched to the second display mode.

The single-screen display mode of the dual-screen terminal can be simply referred to as a single-A display mode, which refers to an application that operates on only one screen of the dual-screen terminal, which is consistent with the full-screen display of the single-screen terminal. The dual-screen mirroring mode of the dual-screen terminal can be simply referred to as the AA display mode, which means that for the dual-screen terminal, the running application is simultaneously displayed on two screens, that is, the same content is displayed on the two screens. The dual-screen splicing display mode of the dual-screen terminal may be referred to as a large A display mode, which refers to an application in which two screens are spliced together as one screen display for a dual-screen terminal, and each of the two screens respectively displays the application. part. The dual-screen split-screen display mode of the dual-screen terminal can be simply referred to as the AB display mode, which means that for the dual-screen terminal, the two screens respectively display different applications. Of course, the terminal is not limited to including two screens, and may also include three or more screens. When the terminal includes more than two screens, the dual screen described in the present disclosure only represents any two screens of the terminal, the terminal Other screens can be displayed in a similar manner.

It should be noted that each module in the display mode switching device of the embodiment of the present disclosure may be implemented by software, hardware, or a combination thereof. For example, each module may be implemented by executing the corresponding software program by the same processor, or may be implemented by executing a corresponding software program by multiple processors in any combination.

Based on the current application and the special requirements of the operator, the dual-screen terminal supports single-screen display mode (single A display mode), dual-screen mirrored display mode (A|A display mode), and dual-screen splicing display mode (large A Display mode), and dual-screen split-screen display mode (A|B display mode). However, current applications, especially third-party applications, may not support certain display modes due to the limitations of the application itself. For example, some applications do not take into account the display in the dual-screen splicing display mode, resulting in display errors (eg, interface confusion, etc.) when displayed in the dual-screen splicing display mode. In some Android applications, the property resizeableActivity in the AndroidManifest.xml of the application file is set to false, so that the application does not support the split screen display mode. If the application is forcibly opened in the split screen display mode, the application may appear. Running abnormally. For example, for some applications of the operator, it may be mandatory to run in a specific display mode. These realities require an automatic application-based display mode switching method to achieve automatic switching of the display mode for the application to ensure that the application can function properly in the appropriate display mode. For a non-dual-screen terminal, there are the same requirements in the case of multiple display modes such as a split-screen display mode.

It should be noted that the terminal of the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to a dual-screen terminal (such as a mobile phone), but also includes a single-screen terminal or a multi-screen terminal having multiple display modes.

The display mode switching method, the display mode switching device, and the terminal provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure implement automatic switching based on the display mode of the application. When the running state of the terminal changes, for example, when a new application is to be run in the foreground, The attribute information of the running application, and the corresponding blacklist and/or whitelist, determine whether the application to be run in the foreground supports the current display mode, and the display mode supported by the application running in the foreground. In the case that the application to be run in the foreground does not support the current display mode, the current display mode may be recorded as the display mode to be restored, and then the current display mode is automatically switched to the display mode supported by the application to be run in the foreground. When the running status of the terminal changes again, for example, when the application running in the foreground is closed or turned into the background, the new application to be run in the foreground can be checked again. If the new application running in the foreground supports the display mode to be restored, Restore the current display mode to the display mode to be restored.

Through the display mode switching method, the display mode switching device and the terminal of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the system of the terminal can automatically adapt the display mode supported by the application to the application, ensuring that the application can be displayed normally, and also meets certain application requirements. The display mode is specified by a specific display mode, and the entire process does not require human intervention. When the application running in the foreground is closed or turned into the background, the user can automatically restore the default display mode set by the user (the display mode to be restored). The user experience is greatly improved, the display quality of the application is enhanced, and differentiated display for the application is made possible.

In practical applications, for example, the application has specific requirements for the dual display mode in order to achieve a better display effect. For example, for some video applications promoted by operators, it is required to display in the large A display mode to make full use of Double screen space. In the case where the application does not support some display modes, for example, the property resizeableActivity in the AndroidManifest.xml file of some applications in Android (Android) system is set to false, then these applications do not support the split screen display mode, in the split screen display mode. When you want to run these applications in the foreground, the display mode can be automatically switched to the single-screen display mode. In a dual-screen terminal, if the application runs in some display modes or displays an abnormality, the application can be added to a specific blacklist or whitelist. For example, some applications (such as the operator's own application) only support single A display. Running in mode, these applications can be added to a whitelist that only supports single-A display mode, so that when these applications are run in the foreground in dual-display mode, the display mode switches to single-A display mode.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a display mode switching method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the display mode switching method of the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps S701 to S705.

Step S701: When the running state of the terminal changes, the information of the application to be run in the foreground is obtained.

The change of the operating state of the terminal may include, but is not limited to, starting a new application, closing a running application, switching an application running in the foreground to a background running, switching an application running in the background to a foreground running, and the like.

The information of the application to be run in the foreground may include, but is not limited to, restriction information of the application for the display mode (for example, a display mode supported by the application under the setting attribute of the application), a package name of the application, and the like.

The obtaining application information to be run in the foreground may include, but is not limited to, acquiring a top-of-stack task in the task stack; acquiring a top-most activity of the active stack of the top-level task (ie, a top activity); and from the activity stack The topmost activity gets information about the corresponding app.

The display modes include a single screen terminal, a dual screen terminal, and a plurality of display modes of the multi-screen terminal.

The dual screen terminal may have a single A display mode, an A|A display mode, a large A display mode, an A|B display mode, and the like.

The single A display mode refers to an application running only on one screen of the dual screen terminal (for example, a mobile phone), which is consistent with the full screen display of the single screen terminal.

The A|A display mode means that for a dual screen terminal, the running application is simultaneously displayed on two screens, that is, the same content is displayed on the two screens.

The large A display mode refers to an application in which two screens are spliced together as one screen display operation for a dual screen terminal, and each of the two screens respectively displays a portion of the application.

The A|B display mode means that for a dual screen terminal, two screens respectively display different applications.

It should be understood that automatic switching for other dual screen display modes, automatic switching of other display modes for single screen terminals or multi-screen terminals is also included within the scope of the present disclosure.

Step S702: According to the package name of the application to be run in the foreground, access the corresponding blacklist or whitelist to obtain the display mode supported by the application under the blacklist or whitelist restriction.

The blacklist provides a display mode that is not supported by the application, and the whitelist provides a display mode supported by the application.

The blacklist and the whitelist may be preset in advance, or may be set by the user. In addition, the blacklist and the whitelist may be automatically created or modified according to the behavior of the user using the application.

For example, preset applications and a large number of commonly used applications can be tested in various display modes to preset blacklists and whitelists.

For example, the user can set a blacklist and a whitelist by himself. For example, the user can add an application that does not support a certain display mode to the corresponding blacklist, or remove the discovered whitelist that does not support a certain display mode, etc. Wait.

For example, the blacklist and whitelist can be automatically created or modified according to the state of the application in various display modes (such as whether an exception occurs) when the user uses the application.

Step S703: Obtain the currently running display mode, and check whether the application to be run in the foreground supports the currently running display mode.

The checking may include comparing the display mode supported by the application under the setting properties of the application with the display mode supported by the application under the blacklist and/or whitelist restrictions to obtain a list of display modes ultimately supported by the application.

The checking may also include comparing the list of display modes ultimately supported by the application to the currently running display mode. If the currently running display mode is included in the list of display modes that the application ultimately supports, the application supports the currently running display mode. If the currently running display mode is not included in the list of display modes that the application ultimately supports, the application does not support the currently running display mode.

Step S704: If the application to be run in the foreground does not support the currently running display mode, save the currently running display mode as the display mode to be restored, and automatically switch the currently running display mode to the final support of the application to be run in the foreground. Displays the display mode in the mode list.

Step S705: Perform foreground operation of the application in the display mode after the switching.

The display mode switching method of the present embodiment is executed in the presence of a display mode to be restored.

Step S801: When the running state of the terminal changes, the information of the application to be run in the foreground is obtained.

Step S802: According to the package name of the application to be run in the foreground, access the corresponding blacklist or whitelist to obtain the display mode supported by the application under the blacklist or whitelist restriction.

Step S803: Acquire a display mode to be restored, and check whether an application to be run in the foreground supports the display mode to be restored.

The checking may include comparing the display mode supported by the application under the setting attribute of the application with the display mode supported by the application under the blacklist and/or whitelist restriction, and obtaining a display mode list ultimately supported by the application.

The checking may also include comparing the list of display modes ultimately supported by the application to the display mode to be restored. If the display mode to be restored is included in the list of display modes that the application ultimately supports, the application supports the display mode to be restored. If the display mode to be restored is not included in the display mode list that is finally supported by the application, the application does not support the display mode to be restored.

Step S804: If the application to be run in the foreground supports the display mode to be restored, the currently running display mode is switched to the display mode to be restored.

Step S805: Perform foreground operation of the application in the display mode after the switching.

Through the display mode switching method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the system of the terminal can automatically adapt the display mode supported by the application to the application, ensuring that the application can be displayed normally, and meeting the requirement that certain applications need to adopt a specific display mode for display. The whole process does not require human intervention. When the application running in the foreground is closed or turned into the background, it can automatically restore to the default display mode set by the user (display mode to be restored), thereby greatly improving the user experience and enhancing. The display quality of the application makes it possible to differentiate the display for the application.

The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a storage medium, which can store program code for performing the following steps: acquiring information of an application to be run by the terminal in the foreground, and acquiring a display mode currently running by the terminal as the first display mode.
