Method and terminal for displaying application programs in multiple windows

Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention is a method for displaying applications in multiple windows, comprising: a terminal periodically updating the priority of a running application according to a priority updating strategy; the terminal switching foreground applications and background applications according to application priority, and the terminal displaying foreground applications in multiple windows. The present invention also discloses a terminal. Use of the present invention provides display of multiple applications in multiple windows, and switching among foreground / background applications in connection with the various statuses of the terminal itself and the statuses of applications, thereby allowing rational allocation of CPU processing resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to terminal display technology in the field of mobile communication, in particular to a method for displaying application programs in multiple windows and a terminal. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, terminals, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc., have more and more powerful and more application programs, and multiple application programs can run on one terminal at the same time. At present, the method of displaying multiple running applications in the terminal is as follows: one foreground application is displayed at a time, and other applications run in the background; The application switches to the foreground. [0003] However, in the above display method, since the main screen only displays one foreground application program, to view the status of all the application programs currently running in the terminal, the user needs to manually operate to switch t...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the above display method, since the main screen only displays one foreground application program, to view the status of all the application programs currently running in the terminal, the user needs to manually operate to switch the background application program to the foreground operation, which makes the user's operation repeated. and cumbersome; in addition, in the above display method, factors such as the processing status of the currently running application program and the network status and power status of the terminal are not considered, and the terminal cannot be automatically based on the status of the front / background application program running in the current period, and according to The terminal's own condition switches the front / background application, which in turn leads to an unreasonable allocation of central processing unit (CPU, Central Processing Unit) processing resources. For example, when the mobile network signal of the terminal is weak and the foreground application needs to use the mobile network , the application will run very slowly and will occupy more CPU processing resources for a long time, and will also affect the processing progress of background applications that do not need to use the mobile network

[0004] It can be seen that the existing terminal application display methods cannot provide multiple windows to display multiple applications, and cannot combine the various states of the terminal itself and the state of the application to switch the front / background application, and thus cannot reasonably allocate CPU processing. resource
