Description

Concurrent processing method of intelligent split screen and corresponding intelligent terminal

Technical field

This document relates to the field of concurrent processing technology of intelligent split screen, and more specifically, to a concurrent processing method of intelligent split screen and a corresponding intelligent terminal.

Background technique

With the popularity of smart terminals such as Android smart terminals and the advent of the mobile Internet era, mobile terminals and tablets have increasingly become personal information centers and entertainment centers. As far as the development trend of smart terminals is concerned, it is mainly evolving in two types of directions. One is the direction of light mobile phones characterized by light and small, long-haul battery life; the other is large screen, high resolution, and powerful processing capability. And the storage terminal's PC-oriented terminal direction, which is represented by large-screen mobile phones and tablets.

As far as the current hardware configuration level of the mobile phone is concerned, the processing power and computing power are comparable to those of the personal PC, but the application management method provided by the operating system such as the Android system is essentially a single task mechanism, and cannot be implemented multiple times. The application or multiple task windows run simultaneously. This mechanism cannot meet the current demand for large-screen terminals and wastes system resources. In this context, intelligent split screen technology came into being.

The so-called intelligent split-screen technology, that is, on the framework of the relevant mobile operating system, realizes multiple tasks running at the same time. Through the intelligent split-screen technology, multiple application windows are simultaneously presented on the screen of the mobile phone, and each application window has its own application management. Mechanisms, each maintaining the life cycle of the application where the window is located, resource scheduling, input and output, and storage control. Through the intelligent split screen technology, one intelligent terminal can be virtualized into multiple intelligent terminals, and each virtualized intelligent terminal has independent input and output and task management and control mechanism, thereby satisfying the user to use multiple applications simultaneously on the large screen machine. Demand also maximizes the efficiency of hardware resources.

However, in the current intelligent split screen technology, since two applications can be allowed to run, the same application may be started simultaneously in two windows of the split screen. If the concurrent state management is not performed, The occurrence of resources is the same as grabbing, causing the system to crash.

From the common scenes of smart terminals such as Android smart terminals, especially large screen terminals After the split screen function is supported, users often have the following usage scenarios:

When an application is used by a user, it is also possible to try to start the same application for splitting. In this case, such concurrent processing needs to be processed to avoid conflicts in the life cycle of the system maintenance application.

In the process of using the flashlight, the user splits the screen with the camera module. Since the camera module also needs to occupy the flash resource, the access control conflict of the hardware device is generated at this time. If the similar concurrent scene is not processed, the system may also be crashed.

While using the music player, the user is browsing in the file manager. When browsing to the appropriate audio file, the user clicks on the play, and at the same time, two music player applications are started at the same time, if the concurrent processing of the class is not processed , will cause system resources to generate the same system to crash.

There are many similar usage scenarios, but under the relevant intelligent split screen technology, due to the limitation of the operating system mechanism of the smart terminal, it is impossible to perform split screen processing on the same application at the same time.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments and the embodiments in the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other.

Embodiment 1

The concurrent processing method of the intelligent split screen in this embodiment relates to the processing when starting a new application in the split screen mode, and the flow thereof is as shown in FIG. 1 and includes:

Step 110, in the split screen mode, receiving an instruction that the user starts an application in a window;

In step 120, it is determined whether there is an application of the same name of the application in the application running in the foreground. If yes, step 130 is performed. If not, step 140 is performed:

In this step, you can query the package name of the application that is running in the foreground by other windows. If there is an application whose package name is the same as the package name of the application that is trying to start, that is, if the application with the same name exists, it proves that the application that the user is trying to start is in the other. The window is running in the foreground and should stop starting the application.

Step 130, stop starting the application, and end;

After stopping the launch of the application, the user can also be prompted to indicate that the application has been launched.

Step 140, starting the application in the window;

After the application is started in the window, the method may further include: determining, during the startup process of the application, whether the resource dependent on the application startup is exclusive to another application: if yes, terminating the startup of the application; if not, continuing the startup of the application . For example, in split-screen mode, if an application that is exclusive to hardware resources (such as an application that uses hardware resources such as a flashlight) is started, and an application that also needs to occupy the hardware resource is started, it will be initialized when the application is initialized. An exception occurs, which terminates the startup of the application and prompts the user to start the failure, so as to avoid system crash caused by the access control conflict of the hardware device.

Correspondingly, the smart terminal of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, includes:

The application control module 10 is configured to: in the split screen mode, query the window management module for information about the window according to an instruction of the user to start an application in a window, and send a request for starting the application to the concurrent control module, Carrying information of the window; and returning according to the concurrent control module After the instruction, stop launching the application or launch the application in the window.

The concurrency control module 20 is configured to: after receiving the request to start the application, query from the window management module to an application that is running in the foreground of other windows, determine whether there is an application with the same name of the application, and if yes, return to stop The instruction to start the application, if not present, returns an instruction to start the application.

The window management module 30 is configured to: maintain an application running in the window and its running status information, and record a window for the user to launch the application in the split screen state.

Preferably,

After the application control module stops starting the application, the method further includes: prompting the user that the application has been started. The prompt may be sent by the application control module, or the application control module may return a status information to the concurrent processing system, and the concurrent processing system prompts the user that the application has been started, and the repeated startup is not allowed.

Preferably,

The smart terminal further includes: a resource control module, configured to: manage a resource of the application, and after receiving the resource request sent by the application control module to start the application, determine whether the resource dependent on the application startup is monopolized by another application. If yes, return the response of the request failure. If no, after the resource initialization is completed, the response of the request is returned successfully. After receiving the resource request, the resource control module will apply for corresponding resources for the application, including image resource reading and caching, database file caching, status record information file creation, and hardware device resource library initialization.

After the application control module starts the application, the method further includes: sending a resource request for starting the application to the resource control module, and if the response to the request failure is received, terminating the application; if the request is successfully received The response continues with the launch of the app.

Embodiment 2

The concurrent processing method of the intelligent split screen in this embodiment relates to the processing when an application is called in a window in the split screen mode, and the flow thereof is as shown in FIG. 3, including:

Step 210, in the split screen mode, receiving an instruction that the user invokes an application in a window;

Step 220, it is determined whether the application of the same name is in the application running in the foreground, if it exists, step 230 is performed, if not, step 240 is performed;

Step 230: Convert the application of the same name of the application that is running in the foreground to the lock state, and start the application in the window, and end;

After this step, after the application in the window is finished running, the running of the application with the same name of the application in the locked state in other windows can be automatically restored.

In step 240, the application is launched directly in the window.

After the application is started in step 230 or step 240, a resource request for starting the application may be sent to the resource control module, and if the response to the request failure is received, the application is terminated; if the request is successfully received , then continue the launch of the app.

This embodiment is a process in which the user in the split screen mode, through the use of other applications, and finally calls to the same application running in the foreground of other windows. Specific scenes, for example, when the user uses the music player, while browsing the file manager, when browsing to the appropriate audio file, the user clicks to play, and the smart terminal queries the package name of the application that the other window is running in the foreground before starting the application. If the package name of the application that is trying to start is the same as the package name of the application that is running in the foreground, the application with the same name of the application that the user is trying to start is running in the foreground of the other window. In this case, the application of the same name that was originally run can be transferred from the running state. In the locked state, the user is allowed to start the application, and when the application is finished, the application with the same name that is locked is resumed.

The intelligent terminal of this embodiment also includes a concurrency control module, an application control module, and a window management module (refer to FIG. 3), wherein:
