The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be an electronic device with an operating system. The operating system may be an Android operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited specifically.

Taking an android operating system as an example, a software environment to which the object sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied is introduced.

Fig. 1 is a schematic architecture diagram of an android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, respectively: an application program layer, an application program 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 the android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of applications, and developers can develop some applications based on the application framework layer while adhering to the development principle of the framework of the applications.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also referred to as 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 the android operating system, and belongs to the bottommost layer of the software hierarchy of the android operating system. The kernel layer provides core system services and a driver related to hardware for the android operating system based on a 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 object sharing 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 object sharing method may be operated based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic device can realize the object sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be a terminal device. The terminal device may be a mobile terminal device or a non-mobile terminal device. For example, the mobile terminal device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted electronic device, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal device may be a personal computer (personal computer, PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, or the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited in particular.

The execution main body of the object sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention may be the electronic device, or may be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the object sharing method in the electronic device, and specifically may be determined according to actual use requirements, which is not limited by the embodiment of the invention. An electronic device is taken as an example to describe an object sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention.

Generally, after a user selects an object to be shared, the user may first find an application program with a sharing function from all application programs, find a contact from the application programs, and then trigger the electronic device to share the object to be shared to the contact. But for different contacts in different applications the user needs to switch frequently between different applications. Therefore, in the object sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention, when a user wants to share a target object, the user can trigger the electronic device to simultaneously display N icon display areas and display an information display area including the target object to be shared. The user may then share the target object to a contact in the application associated with the target icon display directly through input to the information display and the target icon display of the N icon displays, such as dragging the target object to the target icon display. Because the user does not need to frequently switch between different applications, the operation steps of sharing objects with different contacts of different applications are simplified.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an object sharing method. The method is applied to the electronic equipment. The method may include steps 101 to 103 described below.

Step 101, the electronic equipment displays an information display area and N icon display areas.

Wherein N is a positive integer.

Note that the information display area and the N icon display areas may be different display areas in one interface. The information display area may be used for displaying a target object to be shared, for example, the target object may be a target text, a target picture, a target video or a target audio, etc.; the icon display area may be used to display icons of applications having a sharing function.

Optionally, the number of the icon display areas may be determined by the number of the applications having the sharing function in the electronic device, for example, if the number of the applications having the sharing function in the electronic device is 5, the number of the icon display areas may be 5; or the number of the application programs with the sharing function in the electronic device and the target objects to be shared are determined together, for example, if the number of the application programs with the sharing function in the electronic device is 5, but the target objects to be shared are related to 3 application programs, the number of the icon display areas can be 3; or the number of the applications with the sharing function in the electronic device and the selection input of the user on the applications with the sharing function are determined together, for example, if the number of the applications with the sharing function in the electronic device is 5, but the user selects 2 applications from the applications, the number of the icon display areas can be 2.

Alternatively, the information display area and the N icon display areas may be displayed in one interface, for example, a text editing interface. The text editing interface may be an editable note window in the electronic device. Specifically, the text selected by the user can be automatically copied and pasted into the text editing interface, and after the user edits the text in the text editing interface, the edited text can be shared to the contact in the target application program through the text editing interface.

Alternatively, one icon display area may display an icon of one application program or icons of a plurality of application programs. In addition, in the case where the N icon display areas are a plurality of icon display areas, icons of the application programs displayed in any two icon display areas among the plurality of icon display areas may be different or the same.

Alternatively, the display area and the N icon display areas may be displayed in the following manner:

In the first mode, the electronic device displays an information display area and N icon display areas in response to input from a user.

For example, a user may select multiple pieces of text from multiple applications, which may be automatically copied and pasted into a text editing interface. After the user completes text selection, the electronic display of a text editing interface including an information display area and N icon display areas may be triggered by input of a floating icon or input of a pull-up and pull-down menu. The information display area comprises a plurality of sections of texts selected by a user, and the N icon display areas comprise N application programs with sharing functions.

And the second mode is that the electronic equipment automatically detects whether the preset condition is met, and automatically displays the information display area and the N icon display areas under the condition that the preset condition is met. Wherein, the preset condition can be any one of the following: the number of the objects to be shared is larger than or equal to a first numerical value, the number of characters included in the objects to be shared is larger than or equal to a second numerical value, the application program providing the objects to be shared is an application program of a preset type, and the type of the objects to be shared is a preset type.

For example, a user may select a plurality of pictures from a plurality of applications, which may be automatically copied and pasted into a text editing interface. The electronic device can detect the number of pictures in the text editing interface, and when the number of pictures in the text editing interface is detected to be greater than or equal to the preset number, the electronic device can automatically display the text editing interface comprising the information display area and the N icon display areas. The information display area comprises a plurality of pictures selected by a user, and the N icon display areas comprise N application programs with sharing functions.

Step 102, the electronic device receives a first input to the information display area and a target icon display area of the N icon display areas.

Alternatively, the first input may be a click input to the information display area and the target icon display area, for example, the user may click on the information display area first and then click on the target icon display area; or the first input may be a drag input from the information display area to the target icon display area, for example, an input to drag the target object in the information display area to the target icon display area; or the first input may be a circled input to the information display area and the target icon display area, for example, the user may circle the information display area and the target icon display area within one track range by circling in the screen of the electronic device. Of course, it is understood that the first input may be other possible inputs, and may be determined according to actual requirements, which are not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

Alternatively, the target icon display area may include at least one icon display area, i.e., the target icon display area may include at least one icon display area of the N icon display areas. For example, the N icon display areas include an icon display area 1, an icon display area 2, an icon display area 3, and an icon display area 4, and the target icon display area may include the icon display area 1 and the icon display area 2 among the 4 icon display areas.

And step 103, the electronic equipment responds to the first input to share the target object in the information display area to the target contact person in the target application program.

The target application may be an application associated with an icon displayed in the target icon display area.

When the number of the target icon display areas is plural, the first input may include plural sub-inputs. For each icon display area, a user can trigger the electronic device to share the target object to the contact of the application program associated with one icon display area through input of the information display area and the one icon display area. That is, the user may trigger the electronic device to share the target object with multiple contacts in multiple applications through multiple sub-inputs.

Alternatively, the target object may be synthesized by M objects selected in advance by the user, where M is an integer greater than 1.

Optionally, the target contact may be a contact selected by the user from N applications, or may be a contact automatically screened by the electronic device from N applications according to a preset rule. The preset rule may be a default sharing object of the system or a sharing object with a higher sharing frequency of the user, etc.

Alternatively, the number of target contacts may be greater than or equal to N, i.e., the electronic device may send the target object to at least one sharing object in each of the N applications.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 3, the electronic device may display an information display area 01 including a target object to be shared, an icon display area 021 including an "application 1" icon, an icon display area 022 including an "application 2" icon, and an icon display area 023 including an "application 3" icon in a text editing interface in response to an input of a user. In the case where the user has selected contact a, contact g, and contact p for "application 1", selected public number 2 and public number 3 for "application 2", and selected friend 1, friend 5, and friend 9 for "application 3", as shown in (b) of fig. 3, the user may trigger the information display area 01 to be in a floating display state by pressing the information display area 01 for a long time, and drag the information display area 01 to the icon display area 023, so that the electronic device may share the target object in the information display area 01 to friend 1, friend 5, and friend 9 in "application 3". It can be appreciated that if the user drags the information display area 01 to the icon display area 021, the electronic device can share the target object in the information display area 01 to contact a, contact g and contact p; if the user drags the information display area 01 to the icon display area 022, the electronic device can share the target object in the information display area 01 to public number 2 and public number 3. That is, the electronic device may share the target object in the information display area to the target contact in the target application in response to a first input by the user to the information display area and the target icon display area.

The object sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to scenes of sharing objects to different contacts in different application programs, and because the electronic equipment can display N icon display areas and display the information display areas comprising the target objects to be shared, when a user wants to share the target objects, the user can share the target objects to the contacts in the application programs associated with the target icon display areas by directly inputting the information display areas and the target icon display areas in the N icon display areas, such as dragging the target objects to the target icon display areas, without frequently switching among different application programs. Thus, the object sharing operation steps provided by the embodiment of the invention are more convenient and flexible.

Optionally, in the case that the target object is synthesized by M objects, the user may first select M objects from different applications or the same application, edit the M objects in the target interface, and synthesize the M edited objects into the target object to be shared. As shown in fig. 4 in conjunction with fig. 2, the method for sharing objects provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 104 to 107 before the step 101.

Step 104, the electronic device receives a selection input for an ith object in the M objects.

Where i=1, 2 … … M.

Optionally, the M objects may include at least one of: text, pictures, video, audio, etc.

Alternatively, the types of the M objects may be the same, for example, the M objects may be text; or the M objects may be of different types, for example, the M objects may be synthesized for text, pictures, etc.

Alternatively, the M objects may be selected in any of the following scenarios:

scene one, M objects are one object selected from one application.

For example, the electronic device may display two cursors in response to a long press input by the user. The user can drag the display positions of the two cursors, so that the electronic device can take the content in the area between the two cursors as an object to be shared. For another example, the electronic device may respond to a double-click input of the user in the target area, and take the content in the target area as the object to be shared.

For a scene that the M objects are selected from one application program, after a user selects any object from the application program according to actual use requirements, the electronic device can display the object on a target interface, so that the user does not need to manually copy the object in one interface and manually paste the object in other interfaces, and the operation time of the user is saved.

Scene two, M objects are objects selected from one application. For example, when M objects are text selected by a user from one application, the M objects may be continuous text or discontinuous text.

For M objects, which are a plurality of objects selected from an application program, the user can select a plurality of objects from the application program at the same time, so that the user does not need to switch back and forth between the current interface and the contact interface, and the operation experience of the user is improved.

Scene three, M objects are multiple objects selected from different applications. For example, the user may select different objects from application a, application B, and application C, respectively.

For the M objects, the M objects are selected from different application programs, and the user can select the objects from different application programs and trigger the electronic equipment to display the objects in the target interface, so that the user does not need to switch back and forth between the application programs providing the objects and the contact interface, and the operation experience of the user is improved.

Step 105, the electronic device displays an ith object in the target interface in response to the selection input.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the user selects the ith object, the ith object selected by the user can be automatically copied and pasted into the target interface and displayed in the target interface. If the user triggers the electronic device to display the target interface, the target interface may include the 1 st object through the i-th object that the user has selected.

Step 106, in the case that the target interface includes the M objects, the electronic device receives editing input for the M objects.

Alternatively, the target interface may be an interface of a note application, which is a different application from the application providing the M objects. For example, the target interface may be a text editing interface as shown in (b) of fig. 5.

Alternatively, after the user selects the M objects, the electronic device may display a target interface including the M objects in response to an input of the user.

For example, the target interface may typically be in a hidden state. A floating icon for indicating the target interface may be displayed in a floating manner in any interface of the electronic device, and when the user wants to edit M objects in the target interface, the user may click or press the floating icon for a long time. The electronic device may then display a target interface including the M objects.

For another example, the target interface may be in a hidden state in general. When the user wants to edit the M objects in the target interface, the user may slide a finger in a top area of a screen of the electronic device in a downward direction so that the electronic device may display the target interface in a drop-down menu form, or the user may slide a finger in a bottom area of a screen of the electronic device in a downward direction so that the electronic device may display the target interface in a drop-up menu form.

And step 107, the electronic equipment synthesizes the M edited objects into a target object in response to the editing input.

Wherein, the M objects may be different objects in one application program or different objects in different application programs.

Optionally, the editing input of the M objects by the user may include at least one of: the input of the display format of the M objects is changed, the input of other objects is inserted into the M objects, and the input of the objects is deleted from the M objects.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5 (a), the user may select text 03 in the interface of "application a", and the text 03 may be automatically copied and pasted into the text editing interface. The user may click on a "text editing interface" control as shown in fig. 5 (a), triggering the electronic device to switch from the interface of "application a" to a text editing interface as shown in fig. 5 (b), which may include pieces of text selected by the user. If the user wants to edit the selected pieces of text, the electronic device may be triggered to display a hover window 04 as shown in fig. 5 (c), where the hover window 04 may include controls for font size, font, italics, bold, paragraph, and fill color. The user can edit each text segment through the controls and click on the text confirmation control 05, so that the electronic equipment can synthesize each edited text segment into a target object.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, in the case where the target interface includes M objects, editing of the M objects is exemplified and described, which does not limit the embodiments of the present invention in any way. It will be appreciated that if the M objects in the target interface meet the user's requirements, the user does not need to perform editing operations on the M objects, and the electronic device may perform only steps 104 and 105, and not steps 106 and 107, and may be determined according to the actual use requirements.

The object sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a scene that a user selects M objects and edits the M objects in a target interface. On the one hand, the user can select one or more objects in one application or select a plurality of objects across applications, so that the mode of selecting the objects is more flexible; on the other hand, as the user can edit the selected objects in the target interface, the electronic equipment can better fit the requirements of the user according to the target objects synthesized by the M edited objects, so that the user can share the target objects to certain contacts conveniently.

Optionally, the user may first select the icons of the N application programs in the target interface, and then trigger the electronic device to display the N icon display areas. As shown in fig. 6 with reference to fig. 2, before the step 101, the method for sharing objects provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 108 to 109; also, the above step 101 may be implemented by step 101A.

Step 108, the electronic equipment displays the target interface.

Alternatively, the electronic device may display the target interface in response to user input. The target interface may include M objects selected by a user and an icon of at least one application program, where the at least one application program has a sharing function.

For descriptions of the target interface and the target object, reference may be made to the specific descriptions in the foregoing embodiments, which are not repeated herein.

Step 109, the electronic device receives a second input selecting icons of N applications from among icons of at least one application.

Alternatively, the second input may comprise two sub-inputs: the first sub-input may be used to select icons of N applications and the second sub-input may be used to confirm that the icons of N applications are icons to be displayed in N icon display areas.

Alternatively, the first sub-input may be N-click inputs of icons of N applications. Specifically, in the case where the user inputs the icon of the selected application program by clicking, a target identifier may be displayed on the icon of each application program, and a target identifier may be used to indicate that one application program is in the selected state.

Alternatively, the second sub-input may be a click input to a control.

In step 101A, the electronic device displays an information display area and N icon display areas in response to the second input.

The N icon display areas comprise icons of N application programs. An icon display area includes icons of an application program.

By way of example, as shown in fig. 7 (a), the electronic device may display a text editing interface in response to the user's input, which may include an icon 061 for "application 1", an icon 062 for "application 2", an icon 063 for "application 3", and an icon 064 for "application 4". The user may click on the icons 061 and 062 of "application 1" and 063 of "application 3", respectively. As shown in (b) of fig. 7, in the case where the icon 061 of "application 1", the icon 062 of "application 2", and the icon 063 of "application 3" are in a selected state, the user may click on the "application confirmation" control 07, so that the electronic device may switch the interface shown in (b) of fig. 7 to the interface shown in (a) of fig. 3, that is, the display information display area and the N icon display areas.

Optionally, after the electronic device displays the target interface, the method for sharing the object provided by the embodiment of the invention may further include: and receiving input of a user on a target icon in a target interface, and performing enlarged display on the target icon in response to the input. For example, the user may drag the target icon in the target interface, the larger the distance the target icon is dragged, the larger the magnitude the target icon is displayed in enlargement. It will be appreciated that zooming in on the target icon to a suitable level may facilitate user selection of the icon.

The object sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a scene of triggering the electronic equipment to display the information display area and the N icon display areas in a partitioned manner, and because the electronic equipment can display the information display area and the N icon display areas in a partitioned manner after a user selects the N application programs from the icons of at least one application program displayed on the target interface, the user can share the target object to the contact persons in the application programs associated with the target icon display area more quickly through the input of the information display area and the target icon display area in the N icon display areas.

Alternatively, in the case where the target icon display area includes at least one icon display area, for each icon display area, the user may select a contact for the application program corresponding to each icon display area, respectively. Referring to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 8, after step 101, before step 102, the method for sharing objects provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 110 and 111.

Step 110, the electronic device receives a third input to at least one of the N icon display areas.

Optionally, the third input may be a click input, a long press input, or a slide input to at least one of the N icon display areas, which may be determined according to actual use requirements.

Step 111, the electronic device determines the contact selected by the user from the at least one icon display area as the target contact in response to the third input.

Alternatively, the above step 111 may be specifically implemented by the following (1) or (2).

(1) The electronic device is responsive to the third input to display at least one candidate contact associated with each icon display area in an interface of an application associated with each icon display area, respectively, and to determine a contact selected by the user from the at least one icon display area as the target contact.

For example, in a case where the electronic apparatus displays the information display area 01, the icon display area 021, the icon display area 022, and the icon display area 023 as shown in (a) of fig. 3, the user may make a double-click input in the icon display area 023, so that the electronic apparatus may update and display the text editing interface as shown in (a) of fig. 3 as an interface of "application 3" as shown in fig. 9 in response to a long-press input by the user. As shown in fig. 9, the interface of "application 3" may include "buddy 1", "buddy 2" … … "buddy 9". Then, the user may click on "friend 1", "friend 4", and "friend 9" in order, so that the electronic device may determine "friend 1", "friend 4", and "friend 9" as target contacts.
