detailed description

It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

In the following description, the use of suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" for indicating an element is merely an explanation for facilitating the present invention, and has no specific meaning per se. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used in combination.

First embodiment

As shown in FIG. 1, a flow chart of a method for managing an application provided by the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. In FIG. 1, the management method of the application includes:

Step 110: Obtain a current operating condition of the mobile terminal.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the operating conditions include, but are not limited to, one of a parameter condition, an energy condition, a network condition, and a foreground running program, or any combination. In an embodiment, the parameter condition may refer to the screen brightness of the mobile terminal itself, geographic coordinate information, whether the data line jack or the headphone jack is plugged in, time, date, and the like. The energy condition may refer to the amount of power of the mobile terminal. The network condition may refer to the type of network used by the mobile terminal, including a wireless local area network (Wi-Fi), a mobile operator's 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G network, and the like. The foreground running program may refer to an application displayed on the display interface of the mobile terminal, that is, an application displayed in the foreground.

In an embodiment, the current running condition may be updated every preset time; or, when it is detected that the application running in the foreground is switched, the current running condition is updated.

The mobile terminal described in the present invention may include, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable media player (PMP), a navigation device, and a wearable device. Mobile terminals such as devices, smart bracelets, and pedometers.

Step 120: Extract a matching degree of each application with respect to the current running condition according to the data usage record in the database to obtain a high matching application and/or a low matching application.

Specifically, according to the matching between the application program recorded in the database and the current running condition, the matching degree of each application corresponding to the current running condition is extracted from the database.

Step 130: Preload the high-matching application, or/and close the low-matching application.

Specifically, according to the extracted matching degree, the high-matching application is pre-loaded in advance to preferentially allocate system resources. Conversely, for low-matching applications, freezing, cleaning processes, etc. may be adopted to reduce system resource consumption. The problem is to reduce system power consumption, improve application fluency, and perform power planning.

In this embodiment, if there is no record of an application under the current running condition, the matching degree of the application in the current running condition is zero, and the application is classified into the low matching degree.

In an embodiment, in the embodiment, before the step 110, the management method of the application further includes:

A database is created that includes the data usage record.

Specifically, the data usage record recorded in the database may be in the form of a mapping table. Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 2, is a mapping table of operating conditions and applications running in the foreground. According to different practical scenarios, the operating conditions in Figure 2 are divided into the following cases:

The first type is to continuously switch the scene of the application. Since the user has a certain degree of consistency when switching between different applications, if the current running condition is running the first application, the probability of switching to the second application after the first application is high, so that the second application is A high-matching application relative to the first application. For example, after the user finishes editing the document by using the WPS application, the user switches to the mail program to send the edited document as an attachment, and the application scenario is corresponding to steps 110-130. The application management process of this example is:

The first step is to obtain a touch operation in which the mobile terminal runs the WPS document in the foreground and triggers the document to be closed (the current running condition is: running the first application and triggering the touch operation of closing the document);

The second step is to extract the matching degree between all the applications of the mobile terminal and the current running condition, and obtain a program with a high matching degree corresponding to the current running condition as an email (Email) application;

The third step is to open the Email software and display the interface of “Add New Mail” or “Reply/Forward Mail” and load the document edited in the WPS program as an attachment.

Second, a network type scenario. Under different network conditions, the type of application running will be different. If the current operating condition is Wi-Fi network, the probability of running a video application is higher, and the application with high matching is a video application. For example: Tencent video, iQiyi, etc.

Third, the scene of remaining power. Different power usage scenarios correspond to different applications. For example, under low power operating conditions, low-match applications (for example, video applications) are turned off to reduce power consumption to the system.

Fourth, the scene where the earphone jack is inserted into the earphone. If the current operating condition is to insert a headset, the probability of running an audio class, a video class, a radio station, etc. is high, and the high-matching application is an audio class, a video class, a radio application. Conversely, if the current operating condition is to remove the earphone, the probability of turning off the audio class, the video class, and the radio application is high, and the management of the above application is to turn off the audio class, the video class, and the radio application.

The fifth, the scene of the date. Different types of applications run during different periods of the week, for example, the probability of running an office application on a business day is greater, and the probability of running an entertainment application during the vacation is greater.

The sixth type, the scene of the time period. You can divide the time into multiple time periods, for example, time intervals of 0:00-6:00, 6:00-12:00, 12:00-18:00, 18:00-24:00 . Alternatively, it can be set to a non-equal time interval, for example, a working time period and an off-duty time period; for example, according to the stock market trading time period, it is divided into 9:30-11:00 and 13:00-15:00, During this time period, there is a high probability of running a stock-based application.

The seventh, the scene of the display brightness. In different brightness situations, the running application will be different. In high brightness, the video application is a high-matching application. In the case of low brightness, the power protection application is highly matched. application

The eighth, the scene of geographic coordinates. Applications running in different locations will be different, for example, if you are at home, the probability of running an entertainment application is greater. If you are in a company, the probability of running an office or news application is high.

It can be understood by those skilled in the art that, in actual operating conditions, the present invention is not limited to the running scenario in FIG. 2, and may include other running scenarios, or any combination of the above running scenarios, and the like.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the step of establishing a database including the data usage record specifically includes:

Step 310: Record a frequency at which the mobile terminal starts a specific application under a specific operating condition;

Step 320, it is determined whether the frequency reaches or is higher than the first preset value, and if so, proceeds to step 330, and if not, proceeds to step 340;

Step 330: Set the specific application to an application that has a high degree of matching with the running condition;

Step 340, setting the specific application as an application with a low degree of matching with the running condition.

Specifically, according to the preset operating conditions (as shown in FIG. 2), the frequency of starting the application is recorded. When the frequency reaches or exceeds the first preset value, the process proceeds to step 330, otherwise, the process proceeds to step 340. Exemplarily, in the case of 10 operating conditions A, the number of times the application A is started is 8 times, the probability of starting the application A is 0.8, and if the first preset value is 0.5, the application A is the operating condition. A corresponding high-matching application. That is to say, the application scope corresponding to the application scenario law is pre-stated, for example, an application running in the foreground, an application having high performance requirements on the mobile terminal, or other applications that have specific rules for use. When these applications are in use, they can be used in the foreground, or they can run specific functions in the background, such as: background music, background navigation, background download video, music, novels, etc., and the corresponding scenes of these applications. Make a record. Specifically, the aggregation calculation is performed on a plurality of scene data, for example, the law of running the application in a plurality of scenarios such as time, scene, and geographic location.

In an embodiment, if the matching degree of two or more applications is the same, other preset values may also be set for screening, for example, the first matching degree of Tencent video and iQiyi under a certain operating condition ( If the activation frequency is the same, the user information of the Tencent video and the iQiyi application will be judged as the second matching degree (membership situation), and the application with the member information is higher than the application of the non-member information. In other words, you can also set a variety of different matching degrees for comparison, and correspondingly, set different preset values to filter high-matching applications.

In an embodiment, if there is no matching application under the current running condition, that is, the matching degree of all the applications with respect to the current running condition is zero, the current state of the mobile terminal is first maintained, and when the user pair is detected When the mobile terminal sends a touch command for launching the application, as shown in FIG. 4, the method further includes the following steps:

Step 410: Receive an instruction to start an application.

Step 420: Save the data information of the application and the current running condition in the database.

Specifically, if there is no application matching the current running condition, the current running state is maintained until the user initiates an instruction to start the application sent by the mobile terminal, and the instruction is received, and the display interface is displayed. Switch to the display page of the app. At the same time, the application's data information and current operating conditions are saved to update the information in the database.

Illustratively, the time of one day is divided into three time periods in advance, which are 0:00-6:00, 6:00-12:00, 12:00-18:00, 18:00-24:00. And marked with 1, 2, 3, 4. When the instruction to start the application X is received at 9:00, the matching relationship between the application X and the 9:00 (running condition) is recorded in the database, so that the matching application can be reversely searched according to the scene feature. Easy to load in advance, prioritize scheduling, and improve user experience.

The application management method provided by the embodiment obtains the current running condition of the mobile terminal in real time, and extracts the matching degree of each application with respect to the current running condition according to the data usage record in the database, and preloads the high matching degree. The application, or / and close the low-matching application, prepare the program in advance for the user, improve the response speed to the user's operation, thereby improving the user experience, and at the same time, closing the low-matching application, reducing the number of applications Unnecessary consumption of memory and power.

Second embodiment

As shown in FIG. 5, it is a management method of an application program according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the management method of the application is a further improvement based on the first embodiment, except that if the current operating condition in the first embodiment is the first priority condition, When the current operating condition of the mobile terminal is detected to be switched from the first priority condition to the second priority condition, the method further includes:

Step 510, it is determined whether the ranking of the first priority condition is higher than or equal to the second priority condition; if yes, proceed to step 520, and if not, proceed to step 530;

Step 520: Maintain an application that loads a high matching degree corresponding to the first priority condition;

Step 530: Close the high-matching application corresponding to the first priority condition;

Step 540: Load a high-matching application corresponding to the second priority condition.

Specifically, each running condition is sorted, and the high priority operating condition corresponds to the application level higher than the low priority running condition corresponding to the application. In this embodiment, when it is detected that the current operating condition of the mobile terminal is switched from the first priority condition to the second priority condition, the first priority condition and the second priority condition are compared first, and according to the priority condition Sorting determines which application is currently started or closed.

For example, the first priority condition is: the off-duty time period, and the second priority condition is: the off-duty time period and the current power amount is 10%, and the high-matching application corresponding to the first priority condition is to start the Tencent video, and the first A low-matching application corresponding to a priority condition is to start the power saver for the application that closes Tencent video and has a high matching degree. Since the first priority condition is less than the second priority, the Tencent video is turned off and the power saver is started.

The method for managing the application of the embodiment, when detecting that the current operating condition of the mobile terminal is switched from the first priority condition to the second priority condition, first comparing the ranking levels of the first priority condition and the second priority condition, When the order of the first priority condition is higher than or equal to the second priority condition, the current application is kept running; otherwise, the high matching application corresponding to the first priority condition is closed, and the second priority is loaded and loaded. The high-matching application corresponding to the level condition further enhances the user experience.
