Description

Application running state control method and mobile terminal

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of mobile terminals, in particular to an application running state control method and a mobile terminal.

Background

At present, with the rapid development of mobile communication technology, mobile terminals (such as mobile phones) have become indispensable electronic consumer products in people's daily life, and with the increasing popularization of smart phones, smart phones have been integrated into various aspects of life, for example, smart phones have become main electronic products for information interaction between people. Meanwhile, the smart phone application also brings more profit opportunities to more service providers, each service provider develops respective application programs, and users install corresponding application programs, such as game applications, video applications, chat applications, shopping applications and the like, in the smart phone according to respective actual requirements.

Currently, related technologies provide an application running state control method, which mainly includes: judging whether the target application is foreground application, if the target application is determined to be foreground application, setting the current state of the target application to be an operating state, and displaying an interactive interface of the target application on a display screen frame by frame; and if the target application is determined to be the background application, setting the current state of the target application to be a suspended state (dormant state), and enabling the interactive interface of the target application to be still. When a certain application of the mobile terminal is actually operated, a certain invalid information interface may exist in the running process of the application, for example, for a video application, an advertisement playing interface may be regarded as an invalid information interface, for example, for a game application, a process of waiting for other participants to operate a game may be regarded as an invalid information interface, and for any application, an interactive interface which is not interested or concerned by a user may exist, and such an interactive interface may be regarded as an invalid information interface. Aiming at the condition that a target application runs in a foreground and receives an instruction for switching a new application to the foreground, the target application is covered by the new application and is automatically adjusted to the background as the new application is switched to the foreground, and the target application enters a pause state (a sleep state), so that an invalid information interface of the application can be displayed on a display screen frame by frame only when the application is positioned in the foreground; and once the application is tuned to the background, the application stays in a certain invalid information interface until the application is tuned to the foreground again, and the application is restored from the suspended state to the running state.

In summary, for any application of the mobile terminal, after the application is switched from the foreground application to the background application, the state of the application is automatically switched to the suspended state. Therefore, the application can be kept running only when the application is the foreground application, so that the user cannot operate other applications in the process of keeping the running state of the application, and the user experience is reduced.

Detailed Description

In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a first flowchart of an application running state control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the method at least includes the following steps:

s101, receiving a touch operation of a user, and determining a foreground application currently running on a foreground, where the touch operation may be a sliding operation along a preset direction, or other touch operations, and the foreground application includes: applications that need to remain running in the background.

And S102, determining the target application to be switched to the foreground for running according to the received touch operation and the determined foreground application. For example, when a video application is running in the foreground, if a preset touch operation input by a user is received, one application associated with the video application is used as a target application to be switched to the foreground for running.

And S103, if the foreground application is a first application and the target application is a second application, controlling the foreground application to be switched to the background and then to continue to run, and controlling the target application to be switched to the foreground to run, wherein the first application is an application which keeps running after being switched to the background from the foreground, and the second application is a related application of the first application.

In the embodiment provided by the invention, the touch operation of a user is received, and the foreground application which is running on the current foreground is determined; determining a target application to be switched to a foreground for operation according to the touch operation and the foreground application; and if the foreground application is the first application and the target application is the second application, controlling the foreground application to continue running after being switched to the background, and controlling the target application to be switched to the foreground to run. Determining a corresponding target application based on the recognition of foreground application and received touch operation, namely realizing the quick calling of the second application and the quick retraction of the first application; the first application switched to the background is controlled to continue to run, so that the first application can also keep running when the first application is the background application, and a user can operate other applications in the foreground in the process of keeping running of a certain application, so that the time utilization rate of the user is improved, and the user experience is improved; in addition, for the mobile terminal with the limited screen size, the mode that the front and the back end simultaneously run in multiple tasks is adopted, the size of the display interface of the currently controlled application can be guaranteed to be unchanged, and the user operation experience is improved.

Wherein, for a certain application, the state of the application includes: the first application is in a running state no matter in the foreground or in the background, and the keeping running means controlling the first application to continue running in the background. When the first application keeps running in the background, the display coordinate range where the interactive interface of the first application is located is not within the coordinate range of the display screen, at the moment, the interactive interface of the second application is displayed on the display screen, and the interactive interface of the first application and the interactive interface of the second application are not overlapped; or the display coordinate range of the interactive interface of the first application is within the coordinate range of the display screen, the interactive interface of the second application is displayed on the uppermost layer of the display screen at the moment, and the interactive interface of the first application is not covered by the interactive interface of the second application, so that the interactive interface of the first application cannot be displayed on the display screen during background operation, and the operation parameters of the first application during background operation are the same as the operation parameters of the first application during foreground operation. For example, for a foreground application of a mobile terminal, when the foreground application is running an invalid information interface, other applications can be called to the foreground, so that a user can operate the other applications, at this time, the original foreground application is moved to the background, changed into a background application without displaying an interactive interface on a display screen or changed into a background application without displaying the interactive interface on the top layer of the display screen, and meanwhile, the application is kept running continuously on the background, so that the time for the user to wait for the interactive interface to be displayed on the display screen frame by frame is reduced.

Specifically, in step S103, if the foreground application is the first application and the target application is the second application, controlling the foreground application to continue to operate after being switched to the background, and controlling the target application to be tuned to the foreground for operation specifically includes:

and moving the first application from the foreground stack to a target stack, wherein the target stack is created in advance, the hierarchy of the target stack is the same as that of the foreground stack, and the display parameters, corresponding to the foreground stack and the target stack, for indicating the size of the application display interface are all consistent with the size of the display screen. In specific implementation, the target stack and the foreground stack are two different stacks, and at least two applications can be run simultaneously by adopting a stack splitting management mode.

Controlling the first application to continue running in the target stack, controlling the second application to run in the foreground stack, controlling the interactive interface of the second application to be displayed on the display screen, and controlling the display coordinate range of the interactive interface of the first application not to be within the coordinate range of the display screen, or controlling the display coordinate range of the interactive interface of the first application to be within the coordinate range of the display screen and the interactive interface of the second application to be displayed on the uppermost layer of the display screen.

Specifically, as the level of the target stack is the same as that of the foreground stack, and the target stack contains one application, the application in the target stack cannot be shielded because the application is transferred to the background and is always in a visible state, so that the application in the target stack cannot lose focus, and the system automatically controls the first application to continue to run in the background; meanwhile, the display parameters which correspond to the foreground stack and the target stack and are used for indicating the size of the application display interface are consistent with the size of the display screen, so that the interactive interface of the application which is transferred to the foreground can be displayed in a full screen mode.

In addition, considering that each stack may only include one application or may include a plurality of applications, and in case that the target stack includes a plurality of applications, after moving the first application from the foreground stack to the target stack, the method further includes:

placing the first application at the topmost end of the target stack; that is to say, not only the level of the target stack is the same as the level of the foreground stack, but also the first application needs to be placed at the topmost end of the target stack, so that the stack where the first application is located is in a visible state, and the first application is also in a visible state, and at this time, the system automatically controls the first application to continue to run in the background.

Specifically, when detecting that a certain application is to enter a background from a foreground, judging whether the application needs to be kept running in the background, if so, moving the application from the foreground stack to a target stack, placing the application at the topmost end of the target stack, and controlling the application to run in the target stack. The target stack is the same as the foreground stack in level, so that the application switched to the background is kept running.

Specifically, the following application scenarios are described, and the first application and the second application corresponding to each application scenario specifically are:

for example, when a user watches a certain video by using a video application, an advertisement with preset time is usually played at the beginning or in the middle, during the period, the user may need to call a chat application to receive and send messages or to brush friends to view the latest dynamic state, after the advertisement is played, the user needs to switch back to the video application to watch a video film, so that the video application and the chat application are switched back and forth, and the video application and the chat application are ensured to run at the same time in the foreground and background, and for the application scene, the video application is a main application, namely a first application, and the chat application is a related application of the video application, namely a second application;

as shown in fig. 2a, an application currently running in the foreground is a video application, when the video application cannot skip an advertisement during playing the advertisement, a user needs to operate the chat application in the foreground to check a latest dynamic state around friends, and wants the video application to continue playing the video advertisement in the background, the user can execute a first touch operation on the touch display screen, and at this time, after receiving the first touch operation, the mobile terminal automatically identifies that the chat application needs to be called out to the foreground; as shown in fig. 2b, the video application is retracted and hidden to the background, the video application continues to play the advertisement, and meanwhile, the chat application is tuned to the foreground for operation, after the advertisement of the video application is played, the user can execute a second touch operation on the touch display screen, and at this time, after receiving the second touch operation, the mobile terminal automatically identifies that the video application needs to be tuned out to the foreground; as shown in fig. 2c, the video application is switched back to foreground operation and the chat application is switched to background.

For another example, when a user uses a game application to play a multiplayer online game, a process of waiting for other participants to operate the game generally exists, during which the user may need to call the information application to view real-time news information, and when the user needs to operate a game character, the user needs to switch back to the game application to realize switching between the game application and the information application, and ensure that the game application and the information application run simultaneously in the foreground and background, for the application scenario, the game application is a primary application, i.e., a first application, and the information application is a secondary application, i.e., a related application of the game application.

It should be noted that the above application scenarios are specific examples provided for easy understanding, and do not limit the technical solution of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 3, before receiving the touch operation of the user in S101 and determining the foreground application currently running on the foreground, the method further includes:

and S104, setting at least one application installed in the mobile terminal as a second application associated with the first application, wherein only the second application can be set, at this time, a foreground application before the second application is called for the first time is regarded as the first application, and the second application and the first application have an association relationship.

Specifically, based on the above application scenario, in consideration that different main applications may correspond to different associated applications, in order to implement accurate switching between the main applications and the associated applications, a corresponding relationship between the main applications and at least one associated application needs to be established in advance, that is, the number of the first applications is multiple, each first application corresponds to a respective second application, and based on this, the above S104 sets at least one application installed in the mobile terminal as the second application associated with the first application, and specifically includes:

setting at least one application installed in the mobile terminal as a second application associated with each first application;

and storing the corresponding relation between the first application and at least one second application.

Correspondingly, the step S102 of determining the target application to be switched to the foreground for operation according to the received touch operation and the determined foreground application specifically includes:

and determining the target application to be switched to the foreground for operation according to the pre-stored corresponding relation, the received touch operation and the determined foreground application.

Furthermore, in order to prevent the touch gesture for indicating to call out the second application or the touch gesture for indicating to call out the first application from colliding with the existing touch gesture, the situation of wrong response control due to misrecognition is avoided, the purpose of accurate response control is achieved, unnecessary trouble is avoided from being brought to a user, and user experience is improved. Based on the above, the touch display screen of the mobile terminal is a full screen, and the top end of the full screen is provided with a non-touch area with a preset shape;

and the received touch operation or the detected touch gesture acts on the touch area within the peripheral preset range of the non-touch area.

Specifically, one application may be set as a second application associated with a certain first application in advance according to actual requirements of different users, and multiple applications may also be set as second applications associated with a certain first application in advance, where the number of the second applications is one; correspondingly, the step S102 of determining the target application to be switched to the foreground for operation according to the received touch operation and the determined foreground application specifically includes:

if the touch control operation is a first touch control gesture and the foreground application is the first application, determining a second application corresponding to the first application as a target application to be switched to the foreground for operation;

the first touch gesture may be set as a gesture indicating to call out the second application in advance, as shown in fig. 4a, the first touch gesture may slide to the left and below at a preset angle, if the foreground application is the first application, the second application associated with the first application needs to be called out by indicating, and the first application is packed up.

Wherein, the number of the second applications is a plurality; correspondingly, the step S102 of determining the target application to be switched to the foreground for operation according to the received touch operation and the determined foreground application specifically includes:

(1) if the touch control operation is a second touch control gesture and the foreground application is the first application, taking the application with the minimum serial number in the second applications as a target application to be switched to the foreground for operation;

the second touch gesture may be the same as the first touch gesture, and at this time, the first touch gesture is used to instruct the second application to be called out in a positive sequence, and the first touch gesture may slide to the lower left at a preset angle, and if the foreground application is the first application and is called out in a positive sequence manner according to the first preset sequence, the foreground application instructs that the application with the smallest sequence number in the plurality of second applications associated with the first application needs to be called out, and the first application is retracted.

(2) Based on the foregoing manner of calling out the second application, considering that when the number of the second applications is large, if the second application with the largest sequence number needs to be called out currently, multiple sliding operations are required to call out the required second application, which results in low efficiency of calling out the second application, and based on this, the S102 determines, according to the received touch operation and the determined foreground application, the target application to be switched to the foreground for operation, specifically including:

if the touch control operation is a third touch control gesture and the foreground application is the first application, taking the application with the largest sequence number in the second applications as a target application to be switched to the foreground for operation;

the third touch gesture may be a gesture indicating that the second application is called out in a reverse order (in a case where the number of the second applications is multiple), the third touch gesture may slide to the lower right at a preset angle, and is different from the first touch gesture and the second touch gesture, if the foreground application is the first application and is called out in a reverse order manner according to a second preset order, the application with the largest sequence number in the multiple second applications associated with the first application is indicated to be called out, and the first application is retracted.

In the embodiment provided by the invention, when the number of the second applications is large, if the foreground application is the first application, the last second application can be quickly called out in a reverse order mode, the first second application can be quickly called out in a forward order mode, if the sequence of the second application to be called out is earlier, the second touch gesture is adopted for calling out, and if the sequence of the second application to be called out is later, the third touch gesture is adopted for calling out, so that a user can execute the corresponding touch gesture on the touch display screen based on the sequence condition of the second application which needs to be called out actually, and can quickly call out the needed second application by adopting the least sliding gesture even if the number of the second applications is large, thereby improving the calling-out speed of the second application.

Furthermore, after the second application is transferred to the foreground to run and the first application is switched to the background to keep running, the first application can be quickly transferred out through executing a corresponding touch gesture on the display screen, and the second application running in the foreground can be quickly retracted.

Specifically, for the case that the number of the second applications is one, after controlling the foreground application to switch to the background and then continue to run and controlling the target application to switch to the foreground and run in S103, the method further includes:

and if the fourth touch gesture is detected and the foreground application is the second application, switching the first application corresponding to the second application to the foreground for running.

The fourth touch gesture may be the same as the third touch gesture, where the third touch gesture is used to instruct to pack up the second application (in a case where the number of the second applications is one), as shown in fig. 4b, the third touch gesture may slide to the lower right at a preset angle, if the foreground application is the second application, the third touch gesture instructs to pack up the second application, and calls out the first application matched with the second application, and therefore, when the second application is running in the foreground, the user may quickly call out the first application corresponding to the second application by a next sliding operation.

Specifically, for the case that the number of the second applications is multiple, after controlling the foreground application to switch to the background and then continue to run and controlling the target application to tune to the foreground to run in S103, the method further includes:

(1) if the fifth touch gesture is detected and the foreground application is the second application, selecting one application from the plurality of second applications according to a first preset sequence to switch to the foreground operation;

the fifth touch gesture can be the same as the second touch gesture, because the second touch gesture can be the same as the first touch gesture, at the moment, the first touch gesture is used for indicating the second application to be called out in a positive sequence, the first touch gesture can slide to the lower left direction at a preset angle, if the foreground application is the second application, the second application which is one bit larger than the serial number of the foreground application in a plurality of second applications associated with the first application running in the current background is indicated to be called out, the second application running in the current foreground is packed up, and at the moment, the corresponding second applications can be sequentially called out in a positive sequence mode.

(2) Based on the above manner of calling out the second application, considering that when the number of the second applications is large, only the second applications are sequentially called out according to the first preset sequence, if the second applications with large sequence numbers need to be called out currently, multiple sliding operations are required to call out the required second applications, which results in low efficiency of calling out the second applications, and based on this, after S103 controls the foreground application to switch to the background and continue to operate, and controls the target application to switch to the foreground and operate, the method further includes:

if a sixth touch gesture is detected and the foreground application is the second application, selecting one application from the plurality of second applications according to a second preset sequence to switch to the foreground operation;

the sixth touch gesture may be the same as the third touch gesture, where the third touch gesture is used to instruct the second application to be called out in a reverse order (in a case where the number of the second applications is multiple), the third touch gesture may slide to the lower right at a preset angle, and if the foreground application is the second application, which is one bit smaller than the serial number of the foreground application, in the multiple second applications associated with the first application running in the current background is instructed to be called out to pack up the second application running in the current background, and at this time, the corresponding second applications may be sequentially called out in a reverse order.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the number of the second applications is larger, if the foreground application is the second application, the second application with the sequence number smaller by one can be quickly called in a reverse order manner, the second application with the sequence number larger by one can be quickly called in a forward order manner, if the sequence of the second application to be called out is behind the second application running in the current foreground, calling out by adopting a second touch gesture, if the sequence of the second application to be called out is before the second application running in the current foreground, calling out by adopting a third touch gesture, therefore, the user can execute the corresponding touch gesture on the touch display screen based on the sorting condition of the second application which needs to be called out actually and the foreground application which is currently running in the foreground, even if the number of the second applications is large, the required second applications can be quickly called out by adopting the minimum sliding gestures, so that the calling-out speed of the second applications is improved.

(3) Considering that when the number of the second applications is large, the first application may need to be quickly called out under any second application, and based on this, after controlling the foreground application to switch to the background and continue to run, and controlling the target application to switch to the foreground and run in S103, the method further includes:

if the seventh touch gesture is detected and the foreground application is the second application, the first application corresponding to the second application is switched to the foreground for running, wherein the first application is controlled to be switched to the background for running continuously after the second application is switched to the foreground for running, and at the moment, the first application running in the background is switched to the foreground for running.

The seventh touch gesture may be set to a gesture indicating to call out the first application or a gesture indicating to fold up the second application in advance, as shown in fig. 4c, the seventh touch gesture may be a gesture sliding right below, and if the foreground application is any second application, it is indicated that the second application needs to be folded up, and the first application matched with the second application is called out.

Further, in order to realize that when the number of the second applications is large (greater than three), the user can quickly call out the required second application through a sliding operation, so as to improve the calling efficiency of the second application, based on this, the target application is determined by combining the touch parameters of the touch gesture, and correspondingly, the S102 determines the target application to be switched to the foreground for operation according to the received touch operation and the determined foreground application, and specifically includes:

if the touch control operation is an eighth touch control gesture, selecting one application from the plurality of second applications as a target application to be switched to the foreground for operation according to the touch control parameter of the eighth touch control gesture and the foreground application, wherein the touch control parameter comprises at least one of the following: sliding length, touch force and sliding direction.

The eighth touch gesture may be the same as the first touch gesture or the third touch gesture, or may be different from the first touch gesture or the third touch gesture.

Taking the sliding length as the touch parameter, in order to refer to the function of the reference prompt for the user, the receiving, by the S101, the touch operation of the user specifically includes:

after detecting an initial click operation acting on a touch area within a preset range around the non-touch area, displaying a sliding length scale on the touch display screen, taking a sliding operation of a user on the touch display screen as an eighth touch gesture, recording a sliding length corresponding to the sliding operation, and hiding the sliding length scale after detecting that the touch operation is completed, wherein the sliding length scale is used for indicating a serial number of a second application.

As shown in fig. 5, a schematic view of an effect of displaying a sliding length scale on a touch display screen is shown, where "1" in fig. 5 indicates that a sliding operation endpoint is at the position, a second application with a sequence number of 1 is called, and so on, so that a user can refer to the sliding length scale to perform a corresponding sliding operation on the touch display screen by using a sliding length corresponding to the second application to be called, and when the number of the second applications is large (greater than three), the user can quickly call the required second application by performing a sliding operation at a time, thereby improving the calling efficiency of the second application.

In addition, in order to further improve the subsequent calling-out speed of calling the second application from the background to the foreground again, the second application can be continuously operated after being switched to the background by controlling the second application, and the first application is controlled to be called to the foreground for operation, so that the second application can be directly called to the foreground for operation without waking up the second application.

Specifically, the controlling the second application to continue to operate after being switched to the background and controlling the first application to be tuned to the foreground to operate specifically includes:

controlling the first application to be unchanged in the target stack and the second application to be unchanged in the foreground stack, and controlling the interactive interface of the first application to be adjusted to the foreground for display, namely controlling the interactive interface of the first application to be displayed on the display screen;

before the second application enters a pause flow, judging whether the second application is visible in a foreground stack;

if so, controlling the second application to continue executing the running process (namely the resume process), and controlling the display coordinate range of the interactive interface of the second application not to be in the coordinate range of the display screen;

and if not, controlling the second application to enter a pause state.

Specifically, when the first application is switched to the foreground operation, the first application is not moved to the foreground stack, but the first application is kept unchanged in the target stack, and the second application is kept unchanged in the foreground stack, so that the second application in the foreground stack is not covered and is still in a visible state in the foreground stack. Therefore, even if the second application is moved to the background, the second application can be ensured to normally run in the background at the moment because the stack where the second application is located is the foreground stack and the second application is also visible.

After the second application is controlled to skip the pause process, considering that the Android system only allows one application program component (i.e., Activity) in one running state (i.e., resume state) to exist, when a new application is started, if it is determined that the Activity in the resume state already exists, it is determined whether a stack where the current application is located is a foreground stack and the application is visible in the foreground stack, if so, the resume process is continuously executed, and finally 2 applications are in the resume state.

Aiming at the condition that the first application is switched from background operation to foreground operation, the second application which is freely switched between the foreground and the background of the first application can be switched to the background and can also be kept in operation by controlling the first application to be unchanged in the target stack, so that the second application can be directly adjusted to the foreground operation without waking up the second application when the second application needs to be switched from the background to the foreground subsequently.

Determining a corresponding target application based on the recognition of foreground application and received touch operation, namely realizing the quick calling of the second application and the quick retraction of the first application; the first application switched to the background is controlled to continue to run, so that the first application can also keep running when the first application is the background application, and a user can operate other applications in the foreground in the process of keeping running of a certain application, so that the time utilization rate of the user is improved, and the user experience is improved; in addition, for the mobile terminal with the limited screen size, the mode that the front and the back end simultaneously run in multiple tasks is adopted, the size of the display interface of the currently controlled application can be guaranteed to be unchanged, and the user operation experience is improved.
