Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic flow chart of a first embodiment of the first aspect of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the method may include:

s101, displaying a first interface on a desktop background, wherein the first interface is a user interface of a first application.

In one example, the desktop background may include a desktop background of a screen of a display, terminal, or the like. The user interface of the application is displayed on the desktop background, the desktop background can be replaced by the user interface of the application, and the user interface of the application can also be overlaid on the desktop background.

In one example, the user interface may be displayed on a desktop background in a full screen or a non-full screen, which is not limited in this application. Under the condition that the user interface is displayed in a full screen mode, the user interface can occupy all display areas of a desktop background; in the case that the user interface is not displayed in full screen, the user interface may occupy only a portion of the display area of the desktop background.

And S102, responding to the switching signal, switching the first interface into a second interface on the desktop background, wherein the second interface is a user interface of a second application.

In one example, the switching signal may be a slide signal, and the slide operation corresponding to the slide signal includes: a predetermined number of contacts slide from one position to another in a particular direction.

For example, the sliding operation may include: sliding from the left edge of the screen to the right, sliding from the right edge of the screen to the left, sliding from the upper edge of the screen to the lower, sliding from the lower edge of the screen to the upper, may also be sliding in a particular direction starting from another position of the screen. The sliding track can be a straight line or a curve. The starting position, the sliding direction, the sliding distance, the sliding speed, the ending position, the sliding track and the like of the sliding operation can be selected and adjusted according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the application is not limited to this.

In an example, the switching signal may also be a click signal, and a click operation corresponding to the click signal may be a single click, a continuous click, or the like, or a continuous click of at least one contact point for a specific number of times, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

In one example, the first application and the second application may be selected and adjusted as desired, e.g., the first application may be the most frequently used application within a time threshold of use, and the second application may be the next most frequently used application within the time threshold of use. The first application and the second application may also be manually set by a user. Thus, the user interface displayed on the desktop background can be flexibly set. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the setting manner of the first application and the second application.

For example, the first application and the second application may include a mapping application, an intelligent assistant application, a game application, a multimedia application, a system setup application, a telephone application, an email application, a photo management application, a camera application, a browser application, a calendar application, a clock application, a payment application, a health management application, a financial management application, and the like, and the type of the first application and the second application is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In the embodiment of the application, the first interface is displayed on the desktop background, and the first interface is switched to the second interface on the desktop background in response to the switching signal, so that the second interface is displayed on the desktop background, the first application and the second application can be rapidly switched, the interaction times during application switching can be effectively reduced, the interaction efficiency is improved, and the interaction experience of a user is improved.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the first application and the second application are respectively preset with priority information, and the method may further include:

s201, responding to a preset operation signal, and displaying a user interface of an application with highest priority information in the first application and the second application on a desktop background. For example, the preset operation signal includes a return screen signal and/or a device start signal. Thus, when the application is switched, the user interface of the application with the highest priority can be switched to quickly. For example, priority information of an application with the highest frequency of use may be set to the highest level in advance so as to quickly switch to a user interface of the application with the highest frequency of use.

In one example, the operation corresponding to the return screen signal may include a return screen operation, such as clicking on the HOME key. The operation corresponding to the device start signal may be a start operation of the device, for example, pressing a start key of the device. The operation modes of the screen returning operation and the device starting operation can be selected and adjusted according to actual needs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

It should be noted that fig. 2 only illustrates an example of a case where step S201 is executed, and is not a limitation on an execution sequence of step S201, and it may be understood that, in this embodiment of the application, in response to a preset operation signal, a user interface of an application with highest priority information among the first application and the second application may be displayed on a desktop background.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method further comprises: the activity record of the first application 301 and the activity record of the second application 302 are stored in the first stack 313 of the task manager 303. The first application 301 and the second application 302 may represent desktop applications that need to be displayed on a desktop background, and the first stack 313 may also be referred to as a desktop stack and is used for storing an activity record of the desktop applications.

For ease of understanding, the Activity record is described herein using the application Activity component (Activity) of the android system as an example. Each application is generally composed of at least one application Activity component (referred to herein as "Activity component") for providing a module for interacting with a user, and each Activity component has a Window (Window) corresponding thereto, wherein the Activity component includes four states of an active (Running) State, a suspended (used) State, a Stopped (Stopped) State and a terminated (Killed) State, the Window (Window) is used for describing contents displayed by the user interface, an Activity Record (Activity Record) is used for recording the states of the components, Window information (Window State) is used for indicating an update of contents displayed by the user interface, and a transition of the states of the Activity components triggers an update of the contents displayed by the user interface. The activity record is typically scheduled by a window manager in the system service of the device and the window information is typically described by the window manager in the system service of the device.

In the embodiment of the present application, one user interface may be composed of at least one active component. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the user interface of the first application 301 and the user interface of the second application 302 may be respectively constituted by one activity component.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 4, since the task manager 401 of the existing device generally uses one stack 411 to store the activity records of all applications (including the application Launcher (Launcher)402 and the general application 403), and stores the activity record of the application Launcher 402 at the bottom of the stack, and associates the activity record with the operation of clicking the HOME key, when the HOME key is clicked, the device returns to the desktop environment formed by the application Launcher.

In one embodiment, the method further comprises: in response to a preset operation signal, the task manager controls the activity record of the second application to be popped from the first stack, so that the activity record of the first application is positioned at the top of the first stack, and a user interface corresponding to the activity record of the first application is displayed on the desktop background; the preset operation signal includes a return screen signal.

In one example, as shown in fig. 3, the activity record of the first application 301 and the activity record of the second application 302 may be stored in a first stack 313 of the task manager 303, and the activity record of the first application 301 may be associated with an operation of clicking a HOME key, so that when the HOME key is clicked, the task manager 303 may call the activity record on the bottom of the first stack 313 to directly display a corresponding user interface on a desktop background, thereby implementing a dynamic jump to a specified user interface. For example, the activity record of the first application 301 may be stored at the bottom of the stack of the first stack 313, and when the HOME key is clicked, the task manager 303 controls the first stack 313 to perform a pop operation, and pops the activity record of the second application 302 located in the first stack 313, so that the activity record of the first application 301 is located at the top of the stack of the first stack 313, and the activity record of the first application 301 is in an activated state, so as to display a user interface corresponding to the activity record of the first application 301 on the desktop background.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the method may include:

s501, when the device is started, starting a first application and at least one second application through a desktop manager of the device.

In one example, as shown in fig. 6A and 6B, desktop manager 601 may be built into the application layer of the device's software architecture to replace application launcher 402. Thus, when the device is started, the desktop manager 601 serves as a first started application, and then the desktop manager 601 may start the first application and at least one second application, dynamically load user interfaces of the plurality of applications, and display the user interface of the first application on the desktop background first.

It should be noted that the number of internal user interfaces may be many for a given application. For example, fig. 6B shows that the number of user interfaces of the first application and the second application is 2, and the number of user interfaces of the third application 308 is 3, and any one of the user interfaces of the applications may be set in advance as a user interface that the application can display on the desktop background.

In one example, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 6A, when the desktop manager 601 starts, priority information of the first application and the at least one second application may be registered in a system service of the device, and the task manager 303 and the window manager 304 in the system service may control a user interface of an application with highest priority information to be displayed on the desktop background according to the priority information. For example, in the case that the priority information of the first application is preset to be the highest level, the task manager 303 and the window manager 304 in the system service control the first interface to be displayed on the desktop background.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 6A and 6B, the first application may be a mapping application 602 and the second application may include a plurality of, for example, a smart assistant application 603, a game application 604, and a multimedia application 605. When the desktop manager 601 starts, priority information of the map application 602, the intelligent assistant application 603, the game application 604 and the multimedia application 605 may be registered in a system service of the device, the priority information of the map application 602 is the highest level, and an activity manager and a window manager in the system service control a user interface of the map application 602 to be displayed on a desktop background of the screen 1.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the method further comprises:

and S701, responding to a starting signal aiming at the third application, and displaying the user interface of the third application on the first interface or the second interface in a floating mode. In this way, fast switching among the first application, the second application and the third application can be realized.

In one example, an icon of the third application may be displayed in a floating manner on the first interface or the second interface or hidden in a navigation control of the first interface or the second interface, so that the third application is started by operating the icon of the third application. It can be understood that the icon of the third application may also be hidden in other ways, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

In one example, the third application may include one or more, for example, a case where the third application is two is shown in fig. 6B. The number of the third applications is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method may further include: the record of the activity of the third application 308 is stored on the second stack 323 of the task manager 303. Wherein the third application 308 may represent a general application that needs to display the user interface in a floating manner on the desktop background, and the second stack 323 may also be referred to as a general application stack for storing an activity record of the general application. In this way, the task manager 303 may jump directly from the first stack 313 to the second stack 323, or may jump directly from the second stack 323 to the first stack 313, and may use the jump between the first stack 313 and the second stack 312 to complete the switching between the first application 301 or the second application 302 and the third application 308, thereby reducing the number of times of stack entry and stack exit of the activity record, saving the computing resources, and improving the switching efficiency.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the first application includes first window information, the second application includes second window information, and the method may further include:

s801, under the condition that the first window synthesizer receives the synchronization signal of the second window synthesizer, refreshing the first window information and the second window information to synthesize a first interface and a second interface respectively.

In an example, with reference to fig. 3 and fig. 9, the first window synthesizer 305 synthesizes layer information corresponding to the first window information into a first interface, synthesizes layer information corresponding to the second window information into a second interface, and splices the first interface and the second interface. Then, the spliced interface of the first interface and the second interface is transmitted to the frame buffer of the second window synthesizer 306, so that the second window synthesizer 306 can transmit the spliced interface to the screen controller 307. The synchronization signal may be generated by the second window synthesizer 306 according to a preset time interval, and the layer information constituting the user interface has a Z-axis value, where the Z-axis value represents an order of the layer information on a Z-axis, and the Z-axis is a virtual axis perpendicular to a screen plane and used for describing a shielding relationship of the layer information.

In one embodiment, refreshing the first window information and the second window information may include: the first window synthesizer 305 refreshes the first window information at a first refresh frequency and refreshes the second window information at a second refresh frequency; wherein the first refresh frequency is greater than the second refresh frequency. Therefore, the second window information is refreshed in a mode that the second refreshing frequency is lower than the first refreshing frequency, so that the computing resources used for refreshing can be reduced, and the resource consumption is reduced.

In one example, the first window compositor 305 may refresh the second window information of the second application according to the priority information of the second application. For example, as shown in fig. 9, the first application may be one, the second application may be three, the first window synthesizer 305 may refresh the first window information of the first application at a refresh frequency of 60 frames/sec, and the first window synthesizer 305 may turn down the refresh frequency of the second application according to the priority information of the second application, and refresh the second window information of the three second applications at refresh frequencies of 30 frames/sec, 15 frames/sec, and 15 frames/sec, respectively. It is understood that the first window synthesizer 305 may also decrease the refresh frequency of the second window information according to the order of the priority information of the second application from high to low.

In one example, the first window synthesizer 305 may also refresh the second window information of the plurality of second applications at the same refresh frequency as long as the refresh frequency of the second window information is lower than the refresh frequency of the first window information. The refresh frequency of the first window information and the second window information may be selected and adjusted as needed, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, the switching signal comprises a sliding signal, and the method further comprises:

s1001, determining a sliding distance according to the sliding signal;

s1002, under the condition that the sliding distance exceeds the threshold value within the preset time threshold value, displaying a splicing interface of the first interface and the second interface on the desktop background.

It should be noted that, when multiple applications are displayed by pressing a multi-window key in the related art, the interfaces on the top layer in the screen are still pictures except for the user interface. When the application corresponding to the interface stacked on the top layer needs to be switched to the application corresponding to the still picture, the application corresponding to the still picture needs to be reactivated by using the still picture, and then the user interface can be displayed, which may cause unsmooth switching picture.

However, in the embodiment of the present application, since the first interface 1101 and the second interface 1102 may be dynamically loaded, on the condition that the sliding distance of the sliding signal is detected to exceed the preset threshold distance within the preset time threshold, by displaying the splicing interface of the first interface 1101 and the second interface 1102 on the desktop background of the screen 1, the first interface 1101 and the second interface 1102 may be simultaneously displayed on the desktop background of the screen 1, so that the switching of the screen is smooth.

It will be appreciated that the display of the first interface is resumed upon detection of a specified number of touch points continuing to slide to the right within 100ms for a distance corresponding to 10 pixels.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, the sliding direction may be determined according to the sliding signal, and a mosaic interface of the first interface and the second interface is displayed on the desktop background, including:

s1201, according to the sliding direction, the first interface 1101 and the second interface 1102 are spliced to form a spliced interface.

In one example, splicing the first interface and the second interface to form a spliced interface, according to the sliding direction, includes:

determining the splicing position between the first interface and the second interface according to the sliding direction;

For example, when the sliding direction is from left to right, the left edge of the first interface is spliced with the right edge of the second interface; when the sliding direction is from right to left, splicing the right edge of the first interface and the left edge of the second interface; when the sliding direction is from top to bottom, splicing the upper edge of the first interface with the lower edge of the second interface; and when the sliding direction is from bottom to top, splicing the lower edge of the first interface and the upper edge of the second interface.

The splicing mode of the first interface and the second interface can be horizontal splicing or vertical splicing. The sliding direction may be other directions from top left to bottom right, top right to bottom left, and the like. When the sliding direction is the other direction, various directions in the other direction may be associated with one of the horizontal splicing and the vertical splicing, and thus, when the sliding direction is the other direction, the smooth switching between the first interface and the second interface may also be achieved.

And S1202, controlling the splicing interface to slide along the sliding direction for a sliding distance so as to display a partial area of the splicing interface on the desktop background.
