Method and device for sharing content between applications

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of communication, and discloses a method and a device thereof for sharing contents of applications. The method for sharing the contents of the applications comprises the following steps of enabling an application of a third party to obtain a screenshot image of a first application; enabling the application of the third party to obtain at least one candidate sub-image from the screenshot image of the first application through the image analysis; enabling the application of the third party to share at least one of candidate sub-images into a second application. The method has the advantages that the sharing limitation of the applications can be effectively eliminated, and the information sharing efficiency and accuracy of the applications are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and device for sharing content between applications. Background technique [0002] In the era of mobile Internet, screenshots have become a more friendly recording and communication medium than Uniform Resource Locator (URI) or text, because: [0003] 1. Screen capture is an operation supported by all mainstream devices and platforms, and does not need to be supported by the captured application. For example, the Facebook (Facebook, a social networking site) sharing button does not support sharing to applications other than Facebook, and users can still use screenshots to save the content they see on Facebook. [0004] 2. The images recorded by screenshots are stored in the unified storage space maintained by the system, and can be read by the user and all application software (after authorization from the user) in one stop. [0005] 3. You can continuously take screenshots, ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 3. You can continuously take screenshots, and then open the target application to read at one time; but you cannot copy continuously, you can only open the target application immediately after each copy and paste it once, and switch back and forth between applications

Since the functional details and experience (including the position of the favorite button) of different front-end Apps are different, the learning cost of users is increased.

[0010] 2. For Apps that do not support sharing screenshot images, users can only manually save the image, copy the text, and copy the link, then close the current App, open the sharing target App, and paste it to complete the sharing

This operation is cumbersome, especially when switching back and forth between applications

And some front-end apps do not support these operations, such as Instagram does not support saving pictures

[0011] The above two methods are cumbersome to operate, and neither has the ability to classify and extract elements from screenshot images
