[0045] image 3 It is a block diagram of a terminal for controlling multiple applications to run in parallel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as image 3 As shown, the terminal 300 includes figure 2 The device 200 shown in. Here, those skilled in the art should understand that the terminal may include a mobile phone, a player, a PDA, a portable computer, and the like.
[0046] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of performing parallel operation control of multiple application programs according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a mobile phone is taken as an example to describe the entire framework for parallel operation control of multiple applications in a mobile phone, which mainly includes three modules:
[0047] 1. Mobile phone configuration file generation module 402. This module can include, but is not limited to, mobile phone resource occupation information and mutual exclusion information between mobile phone applications. By counting the resource information occupied by mobile phone applications, the mobile phone applications When two applications that can run in parallel need to run in parallel, it can be judged whether the resources required by each application are very large. If both applications occupy relatively large resource information, for example , When the sum of the resources occupied by the two applications is greater than the predetermined threshold, it can be classified as a non-recommended application, otherwise it can be considered as a recommended application. The criterion for judging the mutual exclusion between applications is whether they occupy the same resources. For example, a music player and a video player both occupy audio resources, and the two are mutually exclusive resources. The collected information is filled into the configuration file, for example as follows:
[0048] Application name: Application A;
[0049] Memory required for operation: ** M;
[0050] The number of mutually exclusive applications: * A
[0051] Mutually exclusive application name: application M, application N;
[0052] Recommended number of applications: * A
[0053] Recommended application name: application B[Y], application C[Y], application D[N]; (here, Y\N indicates whether the user chooses to be parallel to the current application, Y indicates selection, N indicates not selected, this option is In the case of allowing the user to customize the configuration, for the user to choose and use);
[0054] Number of applications not recommended: * A
[0055] Not recommended application name: application E[N], application F[Y], application G[N];
[0056] The information in the configuration file is configured by the software developer by default, but it can also support the provision of a configuration interface for user-defined configuration. The user-defined configuration interface is shown in the following table:
[0057]
[0058] After providing this user-defined configuration interface, although some applications are not recommended to run in parallel (such as music player online listening and browser), they can indeed run in parallel, if the user does not mind affecting the quality of listening to songs or browsing Due to the lag of the webpage, I hope that the two can run in parallel, and the program can also support the user's idea, so that the mobile phone operation can meet the user's needs as much as possible, instead of forcing certain operations.
[0059] 2. The program discrimination module 404 and the application program coordination display module 406 are implemented as follows Figure 5 Shown.
[0060] In step 502, when the user starts an application program A, the program discrimination module 404 starts to read the relevant information in the configuration file;
[0061] In step 504, firstly read the names of the applications that are mutually exclusive with the application A and display them in the operation interface A', for example, including but not limited to automatically hiding or graying out the icons of these applications;
[0062] In step 506, read the recommended applications to run in parallel with application A, record which applications the user has selected to run in parallel with application A, and display the icons of the applications selected by the user to run in parallel with application A On the operation interface A', it is marked as recommended to run (the identification method can include Tip prompt, or color difference, or icon difference), and the icons of applications that the user has not selected are automatically hidden;
[0063] In step 508, read applications that are not recommended to run in parallel with application A, and record which applications are selected by the user to run in parallel with application A, and the applications selected by the user to run in parallel with application A The icon is displayed on the operation interface A', and it is marked as not recommended to run (the identification method can be prompted by Tip, or the color difference, or the icon difference), and the icon of the application that the user has not selected is automatically hidden;
[0064] In step 510, a new operation interface A'related to this application is created based on related information. This operation interface A'only displays applications that can run in parallel with the current application. The user can control to turn off this operation interface A'at any time. And the currently launched application A is also closed, and the phone interface returns to its usual normal state.
[0065] In this embodiment, the purpose of adding the operating interface A'is to facilitate the user to clearly see the operations that can run in parallel with the application A at this time, and to close the interface to close the corresponding application, which is convenient for the user operating. However, it should also be understood that instead of adding the operation interface A', it is possible to set directly on the original interface, such as graying out mutually exclusive applications or displaying them in different colors in the original main interface as mentioned above. .
[0066] In summary, according to the technical solution of the present invention, by judging the parallel running relationship between multiple applications, the user may be prompted to conflicting applications, for example, when the user turns on the music player to listen to songs, it is mutually exclusive with Some applications, such as video playback, mobile TV, etc., are automatically hidden (or grayed out) on the operating interface of the music player, without the need for the user to pop up a prompt box when they click to facilitate the user's operating experience. In addition, through the technical solution of the present invention, users can also be provided with applications that are recommended or not recommended for parallel use, and users can also configure parallel running programs (including recommended and not recommended) of a certain application on a custom interface, such as When the user is using the music player to listen to songs online, he wants to browse the web at the same time, but because the browser and the music player both occupy the network download speed, the user will see the The browser is identified as a non-recommended application, so that users can know that running both at the same time will affect each other. Therefore, according to the technical solution of the present invention, the operations between various applications can be well coordinated to prevent unnecessary running speed reduction, thereby avoiding accelerating battery consumption, and bringing a good experience to the user.
[0067] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
