Description

Method and device for managing tasks

Technical Field

The embodiment of the disclosure relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method and a device for managing tasks.

Background

Most super APP in the market at present, as a platform type product, can provide various types of content for users. Such as: meanwhile, the system provides content services such as search, news information, videos, novels, cartoons, applets, entertainment stars, chatting, public numbers, service numbers, friend circles, payment, shopping, traveling, group buying, live broadcasting and the like for the user.

In a platform-type product, a user may have multiple tasks at the same time and need to switch back and forth between different content and services. Such as: initiating a search when viewing Feed; chatting when watching public numbers; the purchase of item a is intended to compare item B.

At the moment, the user needs to do the task B temporarily when the task A is carried out; or when the task A is done, the task A leaves the requirement of the task A to do the long-term task B, but the task A can be quickly retrieved; even multiple tasks ABCD may be required in parallel, analogous to the multi-tab functionality of the PC age browser.

In the prior art, task switching is usually performed by means of multiple windows, floating windows, historical records and the like. There are a number of drawbacks: 1. search results multi-window function: the search result page and the related H5 are only effective, and the search result page and the related H5 are not effective for other pages, for example, when returning to the APP first page, seeing novel and seeing Feed, a multi-window entry cannot be found, and therefore other tasks cannot be entered. 2. Floating the window: the method is only suitable for the parallel of the WeChat public account and other tasks, and the other tasks can not be parallel. 3. History: all browsing history records of the user are saved, are not saved by the user actively and are recorded by a machine, so that the method is not efficient, and page contents which do not want to be saved exist. 4. Traditional browsers have multiple windows: the underlying architecture and logic of the product needs to be reconfigured, which is cost prohibitive.

With continued reference to FIG. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for managing tasks in accordance with the present disclosure is shown. The method for managing tasks comprises the following steps:

step 201, in response to detecting a first predetermined operation of a user on a page, displaying a new task entrance.

In the present embodiment, an executing agent (e.g., a terminal device shown in fig. 1) of the method for managing tasks may detect a first predetermined operation of a page by a user. The first predetermined operation may include: a predetermined gesture operation returned from the page or a new task operation performed through a menu item of the page. One task may correspond to one page. The gesture operation may include a variety of combinations of pressing, sliding, and the like. The new task can be directly operated through gestures, the options of the new task can be displayed after the gestures are operated, the new task can be established only through further operation, and therefore misoperation can be avoided. As shown in fig. 3a, a first way of creating a new task is: when the transverse sliding gesture returns, an entrance of a newly-built task appears at the bottom, the page is dragged into the area, and 1 task can be newly built by loosening the hand. The second method comprises the following steps: in more menus (three points at the upper right corner of the page) of the page, a new task entrance is added, and 1 task is newly built by clicking, namely, retracting the current page. After a new task is built, the previous page can be automatically returned.

Step 202, responding to the detection that the user executes the new task operation through the new task entrance, saving the page in the task manager, and displaying the entrance of the task manager in a preset mode.

In this embodiment, if the user performs a new task operation, the page is saved to the task manager, where multiple pages may be saved as shown on the right side of FIG. 5. These pages need to be invoked through the entry of the task manager. The number of pages saved may be displayed on the entry of the task manager. The entry to the task manager is displayed in a predetermined manner. For example, as shown in fig. 3b, scheme one: a multitasking entry at the bottom of the screen. Scheme II: a globally floating multitasking entry.

Step 203, responding to the detection that the user opens the task manager through the entrance of the task manager, and displaying the saved page.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3c, if the user wants to switch from other pages back to the saved page, the user can click the entry of the task manager, open the task manager, and switch to view different tasks. The newly-built tasks are arranged according to the reverse time sequence, namely the newly-built tasks are in front. In order to facilitate task switching, the saved pages can be displayed in the order of saving time from near to far.

And step 204, responding to the detection that the user selects the stored target page, and opening the target page.

In this embodiment, there may be a plurality of stored pages in the task manager, and if a user selects one of the stored pages as a target page, the target page may be opened. As shown by the single line of text in figure 3d and the single line of search in figure 3 e. And (4) creating a new task, wherein the current page is independently stored, the previous browsing path is cut off, and the previous page is returned. As long as the user does not actively delete this task, it is always present in the task manager. And calling up the page again, namely copying the page, opening the page and inserting the page into the main flow, wherein the multitask entry still exists on the opened page, and the opened page still is multitask when the multitask entry is clicked. The return from the page being called is back to the main thread, which is still present in the multitasking. That is, when a page in the multitask is opened, the page is not directly opened but copied, and when a jump is clicked again from the opened page, the multitask entry is still displayed on the jumped page. However, the scheme still has the possibility that: and directly opening a certain page in the multitask without adopting a copying mode.

FIG. 3f is a diagram illustrating an application scenario for initiating a search when Feed is used. The user can select the pictures and texts to be browsed in the Feed page 1, and the pictures and texts enter the picture and text page 2 after being clicked. When the user wants to store the image-text page 2 so as to switch back after searching, a new task entry (shown in page 3) appears at the bottom of the screen when the user returns to the Feed page 1 through the slide gesture, and the user can store the image-text page 2 by dragging the image-text page 1 to the area of the new task entry. And automatically returning to the Feed page 4 after saving, wherein the Feed page 4 is different from the Feed page 1 in that the lower right corner of the page is provided with an entry of a task manager, a circle graph is displayed in the figure, and the number 1 of the saved pages is displayed. The user may then enter a search keyword into the search results page 5 via the search bar of the Feed page 4, with the entry for the task manager also being displayed in the search results page 5. The user can enter the task manager by clicking the entry of the task manager, and the task manager displays the saved multi-task pages 6, and only one task 1, namely the image-text page 2, is saved at present. The user can jump to the teletext page 7 by clicking "task 1" on the multitasking page 6, the displayed content of the teletext page 7 and the teletext page 2 being the same, but with the task manager's entry added. The user may then return to the search results page 5 by a return key. The user can also enter Feed page 9 via the home button of teletext page 7, Feed page 9 being substantially the same as Feed page 4. The user can also enter the multitask page 8 through the entry of the task manager of the teletext page 7, the multitask page 8 being the same content as the multitask page 6. The user may enter the multitasking page 10 through the entry of the task manager on Feed page 9. The multitask page 10 is the same as the

multitask pages

6 and 8. The user can save the page according to own preference and then switch back to the saved page in other pages.

Fig. 3g is a schematic diagram of an application scenario in which another search is initiated using a search. The user obtains a search result page 1 by searching through the keyword 'A mobile phone'. The page 2 of the cell phone official website A is entered through the link in the search result page 1, and then the page 3 of the cell phone introduction A is clicked and entered. The user can save the page 3 of the introduction of the mobile phone A into the task manager in a gesture or menu mode, then automatically returns to the page of the official network of the mobile phone A at the upper stage, and the page 5 of the official network of the mobile phone A at the moment displays the entrance of the task manager. The user may continue to back to page 6 of "search results page 1" by the back button, at which point page 6 of "search results page 1" differs from page 1 of "search results page 1" in that page 6 of "search results page 1" carries the entry for the task manager. The user can continue to input the keyword 'B mobile phone' in the search bar for searching, and a page 7 of the 'search result page 2' is obtained. The page 8 of 'B handset official website' is entered through the link in the 'search result page 2', and then the click is continued to enter the page 9 of 'B handset introduction'. After the user sees the "B cell phone introduction" page 9, and wants to compare with the a cell phone, the user can enter the multitask page 10 through the entry of the task manager of the "B cell phone introduction" page 9. The multitasking page 10 shows the "a handset introduction" page that has been saved. Click into the "a handset introduction" page 11. Clicking the return button of the "a cell phone introduction" page 11 returns to the "B cell phone introduction" page 9. Although the page 3 of the "a handset introduction" can be returned after returning back for a plurality of times through the return key of the "B handset introduction" page 9, the two handsets can be compared more conveniently through the task manager. Clicking the home button of the 'A mobile phone introduction' page 11 can directly enter the Feed page 12. Therefore, the switching speed of the page can be improved through the task manager, and the user experience is improved.

The method provided by the above embodiment of the present disclosure has the following advantages:

1. the applicable scenes are many: NA + H5+ hybrid is suitable. Global arbitrary channels are applicable. Is superior to the floating window scheme.

2. The user actively saves, and does not have too much content that I do not want to save, and the screening cost is low. Superior to the history scheme.

3. The cost is low: the cost of multi-window changes is large, requiring global infrastructure modifications. Is superior to the traditional browser multi-window.

With further reference to FIG. 4, a flow 400 of yet another embodiment of a method for managing tasks is illustrated. The process 400 of the method for managing tasks includes the steps of:

step 401, in response to detecting a first predetermined operation of a user on a page, displaying a new task entry.

Step 402, responding to the detection that the user executes the new task operation through the new task entrance, saving the page in the task manager, and displaying the entrance of the task manager in a preset mode.

And step 403, in response to detecting that the user opens the task manager through the entrance of the task manager, displaying the saved page.

Step 404, in response to detecting that the user selects the saved target page, opening the target page.

The

steps

401 and 404 are substantially the same as the

steps

201 and 204, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.

Step 405, in response to detecting a second predetermined operation of the saved page by the user, displaying a delete task entry.

In this embodiment, the newly created multitasking page can be deleted corresponding to the new creation. The second predetermined operation includes: a predetermined gesture operation of returning from the page or a delete task operation performed through a menu item of the page or an operation of deleting the page performed through the task manager. As shown in fig. 5, the first page shows a mode one: any page in the multitask is opened, the cross sliding gesture returns to the previous page, and the deleting inlet appears at the bottom. The second page shows mode two: and opening more menus, creating a new task entrance and changing into a deletion task. The third page shows mode three: in the multitasking manager, click to close or slide up delete.

Step 406, in response to detecting that the user performs the task deleting operation through the newly created task entry, deleting the page in the task manager.

In this embodiment, after the delete task operation is performed through the newly created task portal, the page is deleted in the task manager. The number of pages displayed at the entrance of the task manager is also reduced correspondingly according to the number of deleted pages. If no saved pages already exist in the task manager, the entry to the task manager may be deleted. And when a new task is built, the entry of the task manager is created again.

As can be seen from fig. 4, compared with the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, the process 400 of the method for managing tasks in this embodiment represents a step of deleting the content of the task manager, so that task management can be facilitated, and the use efficiency can be improved.
