Detailed ways

The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and are not intended to be limiting. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only some but not all of the structures related to the present application are shown in the drawings.

Before discussing the exemplary embodiments in more detail, it should be noted that some exemplary embodiments are described as a process or method depicted as a flowchart. Although the flowcharts describe the various steps as a sequential process, many of the steps can be implemented in parallel, concurrently, or concurrently. In addition, the order of the steps can be rearranged. The process may be terminated when its operation is completed, but may also have additional steps not included in the figures. The processing may correspond to methods, functions, procedures, subroutines, subroutines, and the like.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an application preload management method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be implemented by an application preload management device, where the device may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be integrated into an intelligent terminal. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes steps 101 to 103.

In step 101, a delivery operation of the smart terminal is detected.

Illustratively, the smart terminal in the embodiment of the present application may include, but is not limited to, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, and a smart home appliance. The operating system is preloaded in the smart terminal. Exemplarily, the delivery operation of the smart terminal may refer to an operation in which the same smart terminal transmits between different users, for example, a certain user transfers the handheld smart terminal to another user.

Exemplarily, the embodiment may use, but is not limited to, the user's holding gesture and the acceleration information of the smart terminal to detect whether there is a delivery operation of the smart terminal.

In an embodiment, the step 101 includes: acquiring a grip gesture of the smart terminal by the user; acquiring acceleration information of the smart terminal; and determining the grip if the acceleration information meets the first preset condition a state change parameter of the gesture; if the state change parameter satisfies the second preset condition, determining that the delivery operation of the smart terminal is detected.

In this embodiment, the acceleration information preset in the smart terminal can be used to acquire the acceleration information of the smart terminal in real time. The acceleration information can be used to describe whether the smart terminal has movement and how fast the moving speed changes. The acceleration information may include the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the smart terminal movement. The first preset condition in this embodiment may refer to a condition for determining whether the acceleration information satisfies the delivery operation. Exemplarily, the first preset condition may be that the acceleration magnitude of the smart terminal exceeds a preset acceleration threshold. If the acceleration information of the smart terminal meets the first preset condition, it indicates that the smart terminal may have a transfer operation, and further determining whether there is a transfer operation according to the state change parameter of the user's grip gesture; the acceleration information of the smart terminal If the first preset condition is not met, it indicates that the smart terminal does not have a delivery operation.

The holding gesture in this embodiment may refer to the finger position and the palm position of the user holding the smart terminal, such as the thumb of the user on one side of the smart terminal and the other four fingers on the other side of the smart terminal. Since each user uses a smart terminal with different habits and preferences, each user's holding gesture is also different. When the smart terminal is transferred from one user to another, it can be detected that the grip gesture of the smart terminal also changes. The state information of the holding gesture can be collected by setting a preset number of pressure sensors on the bezel or the back cover of the smart terminal. The state change parameter of the grip gesture in this embodiment may include, but is not limited to, a change amount of the grip pressure and a change amount of the grip area. The second preset condition may refer to a condition for determining whether the state change parameter of the grip gesture satisfies the transfer operation. In an embodiment, if the state change parameter satisfies the second preset condition, determining that the delivery operation of the smart terminal is detected includes: acquiring, in a case where the holding manner of the holding gesture is changed, acquiring The amount of change in the grip pressure of the grip gesture is described; in the case where the amount of change exceeds the set pressure threshold, it is determined that the transfer operation of the smart terminal is detected. The setting may be configured to detect whether the change amount of the grip pressure of the obtained grip gesture exceeds a preset pressure threshold when the grip mode is changed. If the change amount of the grip pressure exceeds the preset pressure threshold, determine that the transmission of the smart terminal is detected. Operation, if the change amount of the holding pressure does not exceed the preset pressure threshold, it is determined that the transmission operation of the smart terminal is not detected, so that the detection is more convenient, and the detection efficiency and accuracy are improved. Exemplarily, the change of the holding manner may be a change of the position of the finger when the user holds the hand, or a change of the direction of the screen of the smart terminal, for example, the smart terminal is changed from the vertical screen to the horizontal screen.

In step 102, in the case that the delivery operation is detected, the identity information of the current user is acquired, and the current user is authenticated according to the identity information.

The current user in this embodiment refers to a user who is currently using the smart terminal after the transfer operation occurs. The authentication process may refer to determining whether the current user has the right to use the preload function according to the identity information of the current user. In an embodiment, step 102 includes: acquiring a facial image of the current user when the transfer operation is detected; determining a facial feature according to the facial image, and matching the facial feature with a pre-stored feature template And determining that the current user passes the authentication if the facial feature is successfully matched with the pre-stored feature template. Such a setting can utilize the uniqueness of the current user's facial image to accurately determine whether the current user can pass the authentication. Exemplarily, when a face or a human eye is detected by a front camera on the smart terminal, an authentication operation is initiated, and a front camera is used to acquire a facial image of the current user. In an embodiment, in the case that a transfer operation is detected, the front camera is turned on, and the front user's face image is acquired by the front camera to authenticate the current user. Turning on the front camera when a transfer operation is detected can reduce power consumption. Facial features may include, but are not limited to, facial information and iris information. A feature template may refer to a facial feature corresponding to a user who uses the preload function permission. The feature template may include facial features of one or more different users, which may be pre-set according to the actual situation of the holder of the smart terminal. The facial features of the current user may be matched one by one with the facial features in the pre-stored feature templates, and it is determined whether there are facial features in the feature template that are the same as the current user facial features, and the same facial features are present in the feature template. The judgment result of the feature determines that the matching is successful. At this time, it can be determined that the current user passes the authentication, that is, has the right to use the preloading function; and based on the judgment result of the facial feature that does not have the same facial feature as the current user, the matching failure is determined. At this point, it can be determined that the current user has not passed the authentication, that is, the permission to use the preload function is not available.

In step 103, the state of the preloading function is adjusted according to the authentication result, wherein the preloading function includes predicting at least one application to be started according to the historical usage record, and preloading the application.

The authentication result in this embodiment may include the authentication and the failing authentication, and the state of the preloading function may include an open state and a closed state. Exemplarily, when the authentication result is that the current user passes the authentication, the state of the preloading function is adjusted to the enabled state; if the authentication result is that the current user fails to pass the authentication, the state of the preloading function is Adjust to the off state. The history usage record may refer to an operation record of the user having the authority to use the preload function on the smart terminal, that is, the order in which the application actually opened by the user is recorded, and the corresponding opening time. Preloading the application includes, but is not limited to, preloading the application interface, launching ads, and launching animations and other startup resources. The preloading function in this embodiment predicts an application to be launched according to the historical usage record of the authorized user, and preloads the startup resource of the application, so if the user without the permission uses the preloading function, the predicted soon is predicted The launched application is inaccurate. Users without permission may not open the predicted application. Therefore, if these applications are preloaded, only the processing resources and storage resources of the smart terminal will be wasted, and the startup cannot be improved. speed. In this embodiment, the state of the preloading function is adjusted according to the authentication result, and only the preloading function is enabled for the user with the permission, and the startup speed is improved by preloading the application to be started, the user experience is improved, and the user is not provided with the permission. The user turns off the preloading function, thereby avoiding preloading some applications that cannot be started, wasting the processing resources and storage resources of the smart terminal.

The application preloading management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after detecting that the smart terminal has a delivery operation, performs authentication processing on the current user according to the identity information of the current user, and adjusts the state of the preloading function according to the authentication result. The preloading function includes predicting at least one application to be launched based on the historical usage record and preloading the application. By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to detect whether the current user after the transfer operation has the use permission of the preload function, and only when the current user has the permission, the preload function is enabled, thereby avoiding the false trigger of the preload function and saving the intelligence. The processing resources and storage resources of the terminal accelerate the running speed of the intelligent terminal and improve the user experience.

In some embodiments, step 103 may include detecting an application preload event if the current user is authenticated, and determining an application to be preloaded based on the pre-created when the application preload event is triggered. Preloading the active window stack preloading the application interface corresponding to the application, wherein the boundary coordinates corresponding to the preloaded active window stack are outside the coordinate range of the display screen; if the current user fails to pass the authentication, Abandon the operation of detecting an application preload event.

Wherein, in the case that the current user passes the authentication, that is, if the current user has the permission to use the preloading function, the preloading function is turned on to detect whether the application preloading event is triggered. For example, the triggering condition of the application pre-loading event may be set according to an actual situation, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, the application preload event may be triggered when it is detected that the user's action satisfies a preset action (such as picking up the smart terminal, inputting a screen unlocking operation, or inputting a terminal unlocking operation, etc.); or may detect when the foreground application is changed. , triggering an application preload event; or triggering an application preload event immediately (or after a preset duration) after the pre-loading application's prediction process ends; or timing interval triggering, and the like. When the application preloading event is triggered, the system may detect that the application preloading event has been triggered by reading the flag bit or receiving the triggering instruction, and the specific detection manner is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In the case that the current user fails to authenticate, that is, the current user does not have the permission to use the preload function, the application of the preload event detection is stopped to turn off the preload function.

Exemplarily, the application to be preloaded can be understood as an application that the user may open soon, or may be a fixed application that is preset, or an application that is predicted in a certain manner. The application to be preloaded can refer to an application that currently needs to be preloaded. The application to be preloaded may also include one or more. When there are multiple applications to be preloaded, multiple preloaded applications may be preloaded one by one, or two or more preloaded applications may be preloaded at the same time, thereby performing parallel operations. Preloading process.

In an embodiment, a predictive model can be used to predict the preloaded application. The prediction model may be a machine learning model, and the algorithms used may include Recurrent neural networks (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, threshold loop units, simple loop units, and automatic coding. , decision tree, random forest, feature mean classification, classification regression tree, hidden Markov, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm, logistic regression model, Bayesian model, Gaussian model, and KL divergence (Kullback) Leibler divergence) and so on.

In an embodiment, for the user who authenticates, the training sample may be collected in the process of using the smart terminal by the user, and the preset initial model is trained by using the training sample, and finally obtained for predicting the preloading. The predictive model of the application. Illustratively, the elements included in the training sample may include a time series or sequence of sequences in which the application is opened; may include the time, location, and frequency of the application being opened; may include the operating state of the terminal, such as a switch of the mobile data network Status, connection status of the wireless hotspot, identity information of the connected wireless hotspot, currently running application, previous foreground application, duration of the current application staying in the background, time when the current application was last switched to the background, The plug-in status, charging status, battery power information, and screen display duration of the headphone jack, etc.; may also include data collected by sensors integrated in the smart terminal, such as motion sensors, light sensors, temperature sensors, and humidity sensors.

Illustratively, the appropriate sample elements can be selected according to the selected machine learning model, and the selected machine learning model can be determined according to the selected sample elements, and can also be combined with the requirements for prediction accuracy and preset speed. The selection of the model and the sample elements and the like are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In the embodiment of the present application, determining that the application to be preloaded may include determining an application to be preloaded according to an output result before the prediction model, or including using the prediction model to perform prediction, and using a current output result of the prediction model as a preloading s application.

In the embodiment of the present application, the active window can be understood as an independent interface that provides interaction and operation directly to the user, and different nouns may be used to name the interface in different operating systems. For the sake of understanding, the following is an example of an Android operating system.

In the Android system, the active window is called Activity. An Activity is a component responsible for interacting with a user, providing a screen (which can be understood as a screen interface rather than a physical display screen) for the user to interact with a task. In an android application, an Activity is usually a separate screen that can display some controls and listen and handle user events. In the management of the Activity, there are two concepts: the task stack (Task) and the active window stack (Stack). Task corresponds to an application, Task is used to store Activity, and a Task can store one or more Activity, and these activities follow the principle of "advanced, last in, first out". Stack is used to manage the Task. Usually, a Stack manages the Tasks to which each Activity needs to be displayed on a screen. A Stack can manage one or more Tasks. Of course, Stack also follows the basic management principles of the stack. . The screen described here is not necessarily a completely separate display. Taking "two screens" as an example, these two screens may be just two areas in a complete display that independently display their respective display contents. Of course, if the terminal has two or even more than two independent displays, the "two screens" can also be two separate displays.

In the Android system, multi-window mode is supported, which can include split screen mode, picture in picture mode, and free mode (FreeForm). In multi-window mode, the Stack on which the application resides can have its own size, which can include the top, bottom, left, and right coordinates in the coordinate system with the top left corner of the terminal screen as the origin. For example, (a, b, c, d), generally describes the boundary of a rectangle, which can be represented by the coordinates of the upper left corner of the rectangle and the coordinates of the lower right corner, that is, the coordinates of the upper left corner of the rectangle are (a, b), right. The lower corner coordinates are (c, d), and such a rectangular area corresponds to the size of the Stack. The in-app layout in the Stack is based on the size of the Stack, which means that the application interface corresponding to the Activity is displayed within the bounds of the size.

In multi-window mode, multiple applications can be allowed to be visible, both system and user visible and only system visible. Both the system and the user are visible to display on the display screen, and the user can see; only the system visible means that the operating system is visible, and the user is invisible, may be blocked by the application of the foreground or as implemented in the application. Display off-screen display.

In the embodiment of the present application, pre-loading the application interface of the application to be loaded outside the display screen may be implemented based on a multi-window mechanism of the operating system, and the size corresponding to the application is set outside the display screen through the multi-window mechanism, thereby The user is not visible and thus does not affect the display of the foreground application's display content on the display screen.

Generally, in the multi-window mode, there may be multiple types of stacks, such as the Home Stack indicating the stack displayed by the desktop application, the App Stack indicating the Stack displayed by the third-party application, and other split screen stacks, etc., in the above three stacks. The included content can be displayed on the display screen, which is collectively referred to as an application active window stack in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, a preloaded active window stack (preloaded stack) is added, which is used to represent the stack displayed by the preloaded application, and the boundary coordinates of the preloaded stack are set outside the coordinate range of the display screen, and are to be preloaded. The app can be displayed on the stack. For the Android system, a new stack dedicated to displaying preloaded applications can be created based on the multi-window mechanism of the Android system. In the embodiment of the present application, the new stack is created because the newly created preloaded stack can have its own size and visibility, so that it is preloaded outside the display screen. In the embodiment of the present application, the creation time of the preloaded stack is not limited, and the preloaded stack is in the resident state by default, that is, the preloaded stack is always present; or the terminal is successfully unlocked when the terminal is powered on or the terminal is successfully unlocked. Post-create; can also be created after the application preload event is triggered (can be determined before the target application is determined).

In some embodiments, preloading an application interface corresponding to the application based on a pre-created preloaded active window stack includes: creating a target process corresponding to the application; creating a pre-created preloaded active window stack a task stack corresponding to the application; starting an activity window corresponding to the application in the task stack based on the target process; and drawing and displaying an application interface corresponding to the application based on the activated activity window. This setting can draw and display the application interface of the application based on the preloaded active window stack outside the screen coordinate range, without interfering with the running and display of the foreground application, ensuring system stability, and effectively improving the application startup. speed. The creation process of the target process can also include the initialization process of the target process. During the execution of the foregoing steps, the preloading of other resources may be involved, such as application service startup, memory allocation, file content reading, and network data acquisition. The preloading process of other resources is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, the method further includes: transmitting a forged focus notification to the application, and maintaining a continuous drawing and displaying an update of the application interface corresponding to the application for a preset time period based on the forged focus notification, wherein The length of the preset time period includes a play duration for starting an advertisement or starting an animation in the application. This setting can complete the drawing and display of the application interface when the application gets the focus and the system is visible, and improves the completion degree of the preload without affecting the focus of the foreground application. The focus in the embodiment of the present application is also referred to as an input focus, and the forged focus is independent of the focus corresponding to the foreground application. Generally, for the current Android system, the focus is unique. For example, the input operation such as touch is only effective for the focus. For the input focus information, the system side and the application end are consistent, and once the system side modifies the input focus information, Sending information that the input focus information changes to the application, so as to ensure that the input information of the system end and the application end are consistent. In the embodiment of the present application, by separating the system side and the application end to input the focus information, the application end can forge the focus. In the embodiment of the present application, the pre-loading application forges the focus notification, so that the pre-loading application has the focus information, and the focus information of the system is still correct, so that the processing can enable the pre-loading application to draw normally and achieve full loading. The focus exists on the system side and the application side. It can be regarded as the server (server) and the client (client). The system side records the application with the focus, and the application saves the flag (flag) to identify whether it has focus. The timing of forging the input focus may be that when the window system of Android adds a window and needs to update the focus, a fake focus notification is generated and sent. The method of forging the focus may be a method of calling the client side of the window to change the focus of the window, so that the window acquires the focus. In an embodiment, the transmission of the forged focus notification may be performed based on the Binder mechanism, which is the most common way of inter-process communication of the Android system, adopting the c/s architecture, that is, the client/service architecture. In the embodiment of the present application, some applications usually play some advertisements or animations during the startup process, and the duration of the advertisement or animation is usually from 3 seconds to ten seconds. During the advertisement or animation, the user may not Any way to do anything, you can only wait for the playback to complete, wasting the user's precious time. In this embodiment of the present application, the setting can enable the startup advertisement or the startup animation to be played out of the screen before the application is started. When the application is started, the application can directly enter the main page of the application or other user-operable interface, thereby applying the application. The operational time point is further advanced, reducing the waiting time.

In some embodiments, after preloading the application interface corresponding to the application based on the pre-created preload active window stack, the method further includes: when the running instruction of the target application is received, stacking the preloaded active window The application interface corresponding to the target application included in the target is migrated to the display screen for display. This setting can be used when the target application really needs to be started, that is, when the user clicks on the target application, the application interface corresponding to the already-targeted application is directly migrated to the display screen for display, which can achieve fast switching of the application interface and improve startup. speed.

In some embodiments, migrating the application interface corresponding to the target application included in the preloaded active window stack to the display screen for display comprises: including the pre-loaded active window stack The task stack corresponding to the target application is migrated to the top of the application active window stack; the size information, the configuration information, and the visibility of the task stack are updated, so that the application interface corresponding to the target application is displayed on the display screen. This setting ensures the stability of the interface migration process and ensures that the recovery process does not cause a card screen, a black screen, or a slow migration speed.

For some smart terminals, especially mobile terminals such as mobile phones and tablet computers, in order to facilitate the user's use, the display mode of the display screen usually includes vertical screen display and horizontal screen display, and many applications use the vertical screen mode for display by default. Some applications use horizontal screen display by default (such as some online games). During the use of smart terminals, some applications also switch between horizontal and vertical display as the user holds the direction of the terminal. In some embodiments of the present application, the boundary coordinates corresponding to the preloaded active window stack are (H, 0, 2H, H), the coordinate system corresponding to the boundary coordinates is system coordinates, and the origin of the system coordinates is In the upper left corner of the display screen, H is the length of the long side of the display area of the display screen. That is to say, the edge corresponding to H is the largest side of the display area of the display screen, which is the height of the display screen when the vertical screen is displayed, and the width of the display screen when the horizontal screen is displayed. This setting takes into account the horizontal screen of the display screen, the horizontal display of the preloaded application, and the normal display of some applications. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a relative position relationship between a preloaded active window stack and a display screen display area according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the display screen is in the vertical screen mode, and the origin of the terminal system coordinates is the left vertex (0, 0) of the display screen 201. The width direction of the display screen 201 is the X axis, and the height direction is the Y axis. The boundary coordinates of the loaded Stack 202 are (H, 0, 2H, H), H is the screen height, that is, the area within the solid line rectangle on the left side is the main screen display area, and the area within the rectangular area of the right dashed line is the preloaded display area. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a relative positional relationship between a preloaded active window stack and a display screen display area according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the display screen is in the horizontal screen mode, and the origin of the terminal system coordinates is the left vertex (0, 0) of the display screen 301. The height direction of the display screen 301 is the X axis, and the width direction is the Y axis. The boundary coordinates of the loaded Stack 202 are (H, 0, 2H, H), H is the screen height, that is, the area within the solid line rectangle on the left side is the main screen display area, and the area within the rectangular area of the right dashed line is the preloaded display area.

The reason for pre-loading the various boundaries of the Stack is this:

The horizontal coordinate of the upper left corner is H, which is to prevent the display screen (also called the main screen) from being displayed to the interface of the preloaded application when the horizontal screen is used, because the main screen has the horizontal screen mode and the horizontal screen mode when the main screen is horizontal screen. In order to prevent the main screen display area from displaying the part of the preloaded application, the horizontal coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangular area corresponding to the preloaded stack is set to the screen height.

The ordinate of the upper left corner is 0, in order to preload the application to correctly calculate the status bar height. In order to better design the user interface (UI), the Android application will customize the top status bar. If the corresponding ordinate of the upper side is not equal to 0, the height of the status bar may be wrong.

The horizontal coordinate of the lower right corner is 2H (2 times the screen height), that is, the width of the rectangle corresponding to the preloaded stack = the screen height, in order to preload the size of the stack to include the horizontal screen application at the time of preloading (ie, the application interface is a horizontal screen) Display mode application).

The ordinate of the lower right corner is H, that is, the height of the rectangle corresponding to the preloaded stack = the height of the screen, in order to preload the size of the stack to include the vertical screen application at the time of preloading.

For the above reasons, the inventor sets the size of the preloaded stack to (H, 0, 2H, H).

In addition, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of application interface migration according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, when receiving a running instruction of a target application, an application corresponding to the target application included in the stack of the active window is preloaded. The interface 401 is migrated to the display screen 201 for display. In an embodiment, the task to which the preloaded application interface belongs is migrated to the top of the application active window Stack, and the size information, configuration information, and visibility of the task are updated, thereby applying the interface. Can be displayed normally on the display screen.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of another application preload management method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method includes steps 501 to 508.

In step 501, a delivery operation of the smart terminal is detected.

In step 502, in the case that the delivery operation is detected, the identity information of the current user is acquired, and the current user is authenticated according to the identity information.

In step 503, it is detected whether the current user passes the authentication, and if the current user does not pass the authentication, step 504 is performed; if the current user passes the authentication, step 505 is performed.

In step 504, the operation of detecting an application preload event is discarded.

In step 505, an application preloading event is detected, and when the application preloading event is triggered, an application to be preloaded is determined, and an application interface corresponding to the application is preloaded based on a pre-created preloading active window stack. And step 506 is performed.

In step 506, a forged focus notification is sent to the application, and based on the forged focus notification, the continuous drawing of the application interface corresponding to the application and the display update are maintained for a preset period of time.

Upon receiving the run command, the application interface currently displayed in the preloaded stack can be migrated to the display screen for display. If the user opens the target application after the preloading is completed, the last application interface when the preloading is completed can be migrated to the display screen for display.

In an embodiment, the size information and the configuration information of the task stack are updated to change the boundary of the application, and may include: actively updating the size and configuration information. Only using the above task migration operation can not change the size and configuration of the task immediately, so you can call the method of modifying the task size and configuration to ensure that the application is in the correct state and can work normally in the foreground.

In an embodiment, the update task is visible because, after updating the size and configuration, the target application may not be visible at this time, calling the method of updating the new stack visibility, and the application visible from the top to the bottom is set to be visible. And update the corresponding window surface to be visible. The visible application judging method may include: no occlusion by other applications on the zorder; no occlusion by the lock screen; the state of the top activity of the application is non-initializing or non-exiting.

The application preloading management method provided by the embodiment of the present application can open the preloading function, determine the application to be preloaded, and based on the preloaded active window stack pair created outside the display screen, when the current user passes the authentication. The application interface of the preloaded application needs to be drawn and displayed, and the preparation work before the application is started is completed to a large extent, and the display content of the foreground application is not affected on the display screen, when the target application is When it is really started, the pre-loaded application interface is directly migrated to the display screen for display, thereby effectively improving the startup speed.
