Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for viewing a background application of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the embodiment provides a method for viewing a background application of a mobile terminal, where the mobile terminal includes a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like. The specific steps of the mobile terminal background application viewing method provided by this embodiment are as follows:

S101. Obtain a background application viewing instruction input by the user.

In this embodiment, when the user needs to view the background application, the background application can be input by double-clicking the main control key, long pressing the main control key, sliding on the screen with a predetermined trajectory, or sliding from the edge of the screen toward the inside of the screen. The instruction is executed, and after the mobile terminal obtains the background application viewing instruction, the subsequent S102 is executed.

S102. Obtain, according to the background application viewing instruction, the number of background applications.

In this embodiment, after obtaining the background application viewing instruction, the mobile terminal may detect the task process of the mobile terminal processor, determine the currently running background application according to the task process, and obtain the number of background applications. Of course, other methods can also be used to obtain the number of background applications, which are not specifically limited herein.

S103. Set a display window according to the number of the background application, and obtain a display mode display window for displaying the background application.

In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to view the background application more intuitively and at a glance, the display window is set according to the number of background applications, and the display mode of the background application is obtained, according to the display manner of the background application. The background application is displayed in the display window.

The display mode may be an icon for displaying a background application, or an interface thumbnail for displaying a background application. In addition, if the background application has unread messages, it can also display all or part of the unread message. In this embodiment, according to the number of background applications, the display mode is selected. Because the display area of the display window is limited in size, when the number is small, the display mode of the interface thumbnail is used, and the user can roughly understand the running status of the background application, and the number is relatively large. When there is a lot of time, the icon display mode can be adopted, so that the user can intuitively view which background applications are opened for easy searching. In addition, some background applications can select the display mode of the interface thumbnail, and another part of the background application selects the icon display mode. Of course, the user can also set which display mode to use.

S104. Perform display processing on the background application in the set display window according to the display manner.

In this embodiment, the background application is displayed in the display window according to the display manner, and by displaying as many background applications as possible on the display window, the user is also required to slide through the screen on the screen of the mobile terminal multiple times or up and down. In order to view all the background applications, users can find the background applications they need more quickly.

The method for viewing a background application of a mobile terminal provided by this embodiment obtains a background application query instruction input by a user; obtains a number of background applications according to a background application viewing instruction; and then sets a display window according to the number of background applications, And obtain the display mode for displaying the background application; finally, according to the display mode, the background application is displayed and processed in the set display window. The method of the embodiment can display the background application as much as possible on the display window, so that the user can view the background application more intuitively, and the user can find the required background application more quickly, and improve the background of the mobile terminal. The operating experience viewed by the application prevents the user from having to view all the background applications or find the desired background application by scrolling up and down or up and down on the screen of the mobile terminal.

In an optional embodiment, the display window is set according to the number of the background application, and the display mode for displaying the background application is obtained, which may include:

S1013: Perform a division of the display area in the display window according to the number of the background application, and set a size of the display area;

S1032: Set a display manner for displaying the background application according to the size of the display area.

In this embodiment, the display window can be divided into multiple display areas according to the number of background applications. For example, if there are six background applications, the display window is divided into six display areas, and each display area is used for display. A background application. The size of the display area may be the same or different. If a display area size is greater than or equal to the preset area, the selection interface thumbnail display mode displays a background application corresponding to the display area, and if less than the preset area, the icon display mode is selected to display the background application.

In this embodiment, how many background applications are currently displayed in the display window, that is, the display window is divided into corresponding display areas according to the number of background applications, and each display area displays a background application, for example. In other words, there is currently only one background application, and the entire display window is used to display the interface thumbnail of the background application; if there are two background applications, the display window is divided into two display areas: up and down or left and right; If there are three background applications, the display window is divided into three displays, which can be upper middle or lower or left middle right, or two above and one lower, that is, the display area does not need to be divided into the same size. Further, if the number of background applications is too large, more than a predetermined number, for example, nine, one of the background applications may be displayed in an interface thumbnail display manner, and another part of the background application may be displayed in an icon display manner. For example, a recently used predetermined number of the background applications may be displayed as interface thumbnails, and the remaining background applications are displayed as icons by using the most recently used background application in the form of interface thumbnails. The display area display makes it easy for users to quickly find the most recently used background application. For example, the background application that is used by the user for a long time may be displayed as a thumbnail according to the duration of the user history, and the background application that is used by the user for a short period of time is displayed as an icon. For example, you can also set certain applications to display thumbnails, such as WeChat, QQ, etc., or you can set certain applications to be displayed as icons, such as some single-function applications, such as Calculator, tape recorder, etc.

Further, in this embodiment, the user can view the background application at a glance when viewing the background application, reduce the number of operations of the user sliding or switching the interface, and display the background application in a display window as much as possible. However, if there are too many background applications, such as greater than or equal to the first preset number, it is necessary to enlarge the area of the display window or increase the display window.

Optionally, if the number of the background applications is greater than or equal to the first preset number, setting the display window to a sliding window.

The sliding window is a display window whose length or width is larger than the screen of the mobile terminal, and the user needs to drag the window to view all the background applications.

Optionally, if the number of the background applications is greater than or equal to the first preset number, multiple display windows are set.

Among them, multiple display windows can be switched by the user by clicking or sliding.

In another optional embodiment, after obtaining the background application viewing instruction input by the user, obtaining the number of background applications according to the background application viewing instruction;

If the number of the background applications is less than or equal to 9, the background application is displayed in the display window in the form of a nine-square grid display manner, and may be arranged in the order of use, each background application. The interface thumbnails occupy one frame;

If the number of the background applications is more than 9, the interface thumbnails of the 9 most recently used background applications are displayed in the first display window in the form of a nine-square grid, and the remaining background applications are displayed in the first And displaying another display window, such as a window or a third display window, and switching each display window after acquiring a sliding operation instruction or a click operation instruction of the user on the display window.

In this embodiment, the preset display strategy is to display the interface thumbnail of the background application in the form of a nine-square grid. Among them, Jiugongge divides the interface into 3×3 total 9 display areas of the same size, that is, only 9 background applications can be displayed on the display window. Therefore, it is necessary to judge the number of background applications, if the number of background applications If there are less than or equal to 9, all the background applications are displayed directly on the display window. The thumbnail of the interface of each background application occupies a display area of the nine-square grid, and the interface thumbnails of the background application are sorted according to the order of use. For example, the most recently used background application is in the first display area, and the oldest used background applications are ranked last, or the reverse order can be used. When the number of background applications is more than 9, the last 9 used background applications are displayed in the display window in the order of use, and the remaining background applications are displayed in the second display window or the first On other display windows such as the three display windows, the remaining display windows can also be displayed in the form of a nine-square grid, and of course other display forms can also be used. The display window and the second display window can be switched by the user by sliding or clicking on the display window. That is, after the user clicks the sliding operation instruction or the click operation instruction on the display window, the display window switches to the second display window. This program displays the interface thumbnail of the background application in the form of Jiugongge, which makes it easier for users to view the background application more intuitively, so that users can find the required background application more quickly, and the thumbnail of each interface is not too small. It is convenient for the user to clearly view the interface content of the background application, and the visual effect is relatively good.

As a further improvement of the foregoing embodiments, after performing the display processing on the background application in S104 in the foregoing embodiment, the method may further include:

Obtaining operation information that the user touches the display window;

In this embodiment, after the background application is displayed, the user may choose to close a background application, or may select to display a background application interface, specifically by the user touching the operation information of the display window. The location information determines which background application the user has selected, and determines which operation the user has performed by the length of the touch.

As a further improvement of the foregoing embodiments, after performing the display processing on the background application in the S104, the method may further include:

Detect if there is a background application with unread messages;

If present, the unread message is displayed on the corresponding display area of the background application on the display window.

Usually, the purpose of viewing the background application is to find the required background application, or to clean up some background applications that are no longer used, so as to clean up the occupied memory, improve the system running speed, or avoid the background running consumption. Power, consumption of data traffic, etc., and for background applications with unread messages, if there is no prompt when viewing the background application, it is cleaned up by the user, which may result in the omission or loss of the message. Therefore, in this embodiment, by detecting whether there is a background application having an unread message, if it exists, the logo is performed on the background application, and the identifier may be identified by using a specific flag, and the number of unread information may also be identified. Of course, the unread message can also be directly displayed on the display area of the background application, so that the user can directly read the unread message. It should be noted that the user can set some applications to display unread messages, and can also set certain privacy information in the message to be hidden or blurred to protect user privacy and improve security.
