The following describes a software environment to which the audio output method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the audio output method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the audio output method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the audio output method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

An audio output method according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of an audio output method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the audio output method includes S201 and S202:

s201, in the case of outputting audio through a first application, the electronic device receives a first input of a user.

The first input is input for triggering the electronic equipment to run the second application by a user.

Optionally, the audio may be a single audio, or may also be an audio corresponding to the video file, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, the first application is a player, and the audio output through the first application may be a song played through the first application, or audio corresponding to a video played through the first application (e.g., background music, lines, etc.). The first application is a game application, and the audio output through the first application may be background music of the game, a conversation of a character in the game, or the like. The first application is an instant messaging application, and the audio output by the first application can be received audio sent by other users or audio sent to other users.

S202, responding to the first input, the electronic equipment outputs audio through the first target application, and displays an interface and a target control of the second application, wherein the target control is used for triggering the audio output through the second target application.

The first target application is a first application, and the second target application is a second application. That is, in the case of outputting audio through the first application, if the electronic device receives the first input, the electronic device may keep outputting audio through the first application, and display an interface and a target control of the second application, where the target control may be used to trigger the electronic device to output audio through the second application.

Or the first target application is the second application, and the second target application is the first application. That is, under the condition that the audio is output through the first application, if the electronic device receives the first input, the electronic device may output the audio through the second application, and display an interface and a target control of the second application, where the target control may be used to trigger the electronic device to output the audio through the first application.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target control displayed after receiving the first input may trigger the electronic device to start displaying the target control for the first input, may maintain the displayed target control for the electronic device, or may trigger the electronic device to display the hidden target control for the first input, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that the specific steps of triggering the electronic device to start displaying the target control by the first input are: the electronic device may trigger the electronic device to begin displaying the target control if the audio has been output by the first application and the user triggers the electronic device to output the audio by the second application.

For example, in S202 described above, the target control may be displayed in a floating manner (for example, a floating button) in the interface of the second application, or may be displayed in an overlapping manner in the interface of the second application, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

The first application may be the first application for starting the output of the audio by the electronic device, or may not be the first application for starting the output of the audio. If the first application is the first application of the electronic equipment outputting the audio, after receiving the first input, the electronic equipment can start to display the target control; if the first application is not the first application of the electronic equipment outputting the audio, after receiving the first input, the electronic equipment may trigger to display the hidden target control, or keep displaying the target control.

According to the audio output method provided by the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the electronic equipment outputs the audio through the first application, the user can input the first input to trigger the electronic equipment to run the second application, and after the electronic equipment receives the first input of the user, the audio can be output through the first target application, and the interface and the target control of the second application are displayed. The target control can be used for triggering the electronic equipment to output audio through the second target application by the user, and the second target application can be the second application under the condition that the first target application is the first application; alternatively, in the case where the first target application is the second application, the second target application may be the first application. Therefore, the user can conveniently switch the application needing to output the audio through the operation of the target control. Under the condition that the interface of the second application is displayed and the audio is output through the second application, if the user needs the electronic equipment to stop outputting the audio through the second application and needs the electronic equipment to output the audio through the first application, the user can quickly switch to the first application to output the audio through the target control. Compared with the prior art, the audio switch of the second application is closed in the interface of the second application without triggering the electronic equipment by a user, then the electronic equipment is triggered to switch the first application to the foreground for displaying, the first application is controlled to output audio through operation, the second application is switched to the foreground for displaying, the user directly switches to the first application to output audio through the target control, the switching steps are few, and the operation is more concise and convenient.

Optionally, in a case that a frequency of the audio output by the first application is greater than a frequency of the audio output by the second application, the first target application is the first application, and the second target application is the second application. In the case where the frequency of the audio output by the second application is greater than the frequency of the audio output by the first application, the first target application is the second application, and the second target application is the first application.

It can be understood that the electronic device may determine, according to the historical behavior of the user, that the user selects to preferentially play the audio of a certain type of application for multiple times, and then the electronic device may determine, according to the frequency of the audio output by the application, to preferentially output the audio output by the application with a high frequency when the user sequentially triggers two running applications. For example, a user usually uses a music player (denoted as app 1) to play music and uses a game-like app (denoted as app 2) to play a game, and when the electronic device runs app1, if the user triggers the electronic device to run app2, the electronic device may continue to output audio through app1 and not output audio through app 2; in the case that the electronic device runs the application 2 and outputs audio through the application 2, if the user triggers the electronic device to run the application 1, the electronic device may stop outputting audio through the application 2 and start outputting audio through the application 1.

Based on the scheme, the electronic equipment can preferentially pass through the audio of the frequently used application in the first application and the second application after receiving the first input, so that the number of times of manual selection by a user is reduced, and the use habit of the user is better met.

Optionally, the electronic device can display an identification of an application on the target control in which the audio being output is located. For example, if the application that is outputting audio is a first application, an identification of the first application may be displayed on the target control; if the application that is outputting audio is a second application, an identification of the second application may be displayed on the target control.

Optionally, after the above S202, the audio output method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following S203 and S204:

s203, the electronic equipment receives a second input of the target control by the user.

For example, the second input may be a click or a long-press input of the target control by the user, and of course, the second input may also be other forms of inputs, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

And S204, responding to the second input, stopping outputting the audio through the first target application by the electronic equipment, and starting outputting the audio through the second target application.

It can be understood that after the electronic device displays the target control, if the user does not input the target control, the electronic device keeps the first target application to output the audio, and if the user inputs the target control, the electronic device can switch the application of the audio output preferentially through the operation of the user on the target control, so that the user can switch rapidly, other redundant operations are not needed, and the operation is more convenient.

Specifically, if the application of the electronic device that currently outputs the audio is the first application (i.e., the first target application), and the user clicks the target control, the electronic device may stop outputting the audio through the first application and start outputting the audio through the second application (i.e., the second target application); if the user clicks the target control again, the electronic device may stop outputting audio through the second application and start outputting audio through the first application.

Example 1: the electronic device plays the song through the application 1, and after receiving the first input, the electronic device displays the application 2 game screen, and the electronic device can keep playing the song in the application 1 and not play the background music in the application 2. If the user clicks the target control, the electronic equipment stops playing the song in the application 1 and starts playing the background music in the application 2; and if the user clicks the target control again, the electronic equipment stops playing the background music in the application 2 and starts playing the song in the application 1.

Example 2: the electronic device plays the song through the application 1, and after receiving the first input, the electronic device displays the application 2 game screen, and the electronic device can stop playing the song in the application 1 and play the background music in the application 2. If the user clicks the target control, the electronic equipment stops playing the background music in the application 2 and starts playing the song in the application 1; and if the user clicks the target control again, the electronic equipment stops playing the song in the application 1 and starts playing the background music in the application 2.

Based on the scheme, after the electronic equipment displays the target control, the user can rapidly switch the application for outputting the audio through the target control.

Optionally, the audio output method provided in this embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the second input to the target control from the user, may further include the following S205 and S206 before stopping outputting the audio through the first target application and starting outputting the audio through the second target application:

s205, responding to the second input, the electronic equipment displays at least one application identifier, wherein the at least one application identifier comprises an application identifier of the second target application.

Optionally, the at least one application identifier includes an identifier of an application that has been run by the electronic device within a preset time period, and the run application includes an application that has output audio.

It should be noted that the preset time period may be user-defined or default set for the electronic device, and this is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the preset time period may be a time period from the time when the electronic device is turned on to the current time, the preset time period may also be a time period from 0 to 24 points per day, the preset time period may also be a time period from the first time to the current time, and the first time may be a time when the user starts to use the electronic device within a certain time period.

For example, the user does not use the electronic device from 8 am to 12 am, and starts to use the playing audio of the electronic device at 12 am, the first time may be 12 am, and the preset time period is from 12 am to the current time.

Optionally, the electronic device may separately display an application identifier list, or may display the application identifier list beside the target control, and of course, the target control may also include the application identifier list, where the application identifier list includes at least one application identifier as described above.

It should be noted that the at least one application identifier may include a first application that is currently running in the foreground and outputs background music, and the electronic device may output the background music through the first application or may not output the background music through the first application when the at least one application identifier is displayed.

S206, the electronic equipment receives a third input of the application identification of the second target application from the user.

For example, the third input may be an input by the user selecting (e.g., clicking on) an application identification of the second target application.

For example, if the user clicks on the target control, the electronic device may expand the list of application identifications, and after the user selects one of the identifications, the electronic device may cancel displaying the list of application identifications. The electronic device may directly collapse the application identifier list after the user selects one identifier, or may collapse the application identifier list after the user selects one identifier and detects that the target control is clicked again.

Further, S204 described above may be specifically executed by S204a described below:

s204a, in response to the third input, the electronic device stops outputting audio through the first target application and starts outputting audio through the second target application.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a display interface according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in (a) of fig. 3, in the case of displaying the interface of the chess application, the electronic device displays a hover button 31, and if the user clicks the hover button 31, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, the electronic device may display a hover button with a list of application identifications, including the identifications: app1 (chess application), app2, app3, and the like. If the audio is currently output through the chess application, if the user selects the app2, the electronic device pauses outputting the audio through the chess application and starts outputting the audio through the app 2.

Specifically, if the electronic device detects that the user selects the identifier of the second target application, if the second target application runs in the background, the electronic device may directly start outputting the audio through the second target application, for example, the second target application is a music player, before receiving the third input, a play key in the music player is in a paused state, and after receiving the third input, the electronic device may control the play key in the music player to be in a played state. If the second target application is not running, for example, after the user uses the second target application, the electronic device may control the electronic device to close the running process of the second target application, and then the electronic device may control the second target application to run in the background and start outputting audio through the second application, for example, continue playing the corresponding song according to the position of the song that was stopped before the music player was closed.

Of course, the user may also select any other application than the second target application, for example, a third target application, and the electronic device may stop outputting audio through the first target application and start outputting audio through the third target application.

For example, the electronic device may set a mode for preferentially outputting audio, and may record only the identifications of two applications with audio output recently (denoted as mode one), or record the identifications of applications with audio output within a preset time period (denoted as mode two).

In the case of the mode one, if the electronic device displays a target control (for example, a single hover button, which may or may not display an identifier of an application that is outputting audio), the user may switch to output audio of two applications that have audio output recently through the hover button.

In the case of the mode two, if the electronic device displays a target control (for example, a hover button with an application identifier list), the user may trigger to display the application identifier list by operating the hover button, and then select an identifier of an application that needs to output audio from the application identifier list.

For example, a user listens to a book by using a book listening application, then opens a music application to play music, if the music application plays music, if the video player is opened by the user to play a video, the video sound of the video player is assumed to be played, if the user wants to listen to the sound of the book while watching the video in a mute manner, the user only needs to click a hover button, selects the book listening application from a popped application identification list to listen to the sound of the book listening application, and displays a picture in the video player on an interface to continue to watch the silent video.

Based on the scheme, the electronic device can respond to a second input of the user and display at least one application identifier, the user can select an application needing to output audio from the at least one application identifier according to needs, and if the user selects the identifier of the second target application, after selection, the electronic device can stop outputting audio through the first target application and start outputting audio through the second target application selected by the user. When the number of the applications of the output audio frequency, which are triggered to run by the electronic equipment by the user, is large, the displayed at least one application identifier can facilitate the user to quickly select the application needing to output the audio frequency from the multiple applications, and the operation steps are more concise and convenient.
