Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of mobile terminals, and in particular to an operating method of a dual-screen terminal and a dual-screen terminal. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, the functions of mobile terminals are becoming more and more powerful. From the initial single voice call and short message, the mobile terminal has now developed into a smart mobile terminal integrating social, office, shopping, payment, entertainment, and communication. It can be said that the mobile terminal is closely related to people's life. With the increasing importance of mobile terminals in people's life, mobile terminals carry more and more private information, such as chat records recorded in WeChat, some work-related confidential documents, fund information in Alipay and mobile banking, personal photos in the photo library, and so on. Therefore, in order to protect personal privacy, protect fund safety, and protect work data, people often need to perform special encryption processing on sensitive data stored in the mobile terminal.

[0003] In the prior art, people usually protect private information by encrypting application programs related to private information. For example, an application is encrypted by an application lock, that is, the entrance of the application is locked, and a pre-set password or pre-recorded fingerprint or pre-recorded face image is required to unlock when entering the application. Alternatively, some applications capable of establishing a private space, such as Secret Garden and smart application protection, are downloaded, and the application programs that need to be protected are added to the application for establishing a private space, so that these applications cannot be seen outside the private space. When entering the private space application, a pre-set password or pre-recorded fingerprint or pre-recorded face image is required to unlock to enter.

[0004] Both the application lock and the private space application can effectively protect the application related to private information, but it is very inconvenient to unlock every time. Moreover, the encrypted application cannot perform notification message reminding in the unlocked state. For example, when the WeChat application is in the encrypted state, the user will not receive a reminder when there is a new WeChat message. When the mobile banking application is in the encrypted state, the user will also not receive a reminder when there is a card swiping notification information. In summary, the existing protection method for private information is complex to operate and causes notification message delay, which is inconvenient for users to use. SUMMARY

[0005] Embodiments of the present application provide an operating method of a dual-screen terminal and a dual-screen terminal to solve the problem of complex operation and inconvenience of use of the method for protecting private applications in the prior art.

[0009] In a possible implementation, if the first application is a non-private application, before displaying the second application on the second screen, the method further comprises:

[0010] receiving a password input by the user on the second screen;

[0011] if the password is a preset password, displaying the second application on the second screen.

[0012] In a possible implementation, if the first application is a non-private application, after displaying the second application on the second screen, the method further comprises:

[0013] if the user does not use the second application within a set time, turning off the second screen.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the password is a fingerprint or a face image.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the method further comprises:

[0016] receiving a switching instruction input by the user;

[0017] switching the application displayed on the first screen to the second application, and switching the application displayed on the second screen to the first application.

[0018] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a dual-screen terminal, comprising:

[0019] a first screen, a second screen, a memory and a processor;

[0020] the processor is configured to detect whether a first application currently used by the user on the first screen is a private application;

[0021] the processor is further configured to display a second application on the second screen according to the result of the detection; wherein, if the first application is a private application, the second application is a non-private application; or, if the first application is a non-private application, the second application is a private application.

[0022] the memory is configured to store the first application and the second application.

[0023] In a possible implementation, if the processor determines that the first application is a non-private application, the second screen is used to receive a password input by the user on the second screen before displaying the second application on the second screen.

[0024] The processor is further configured to determine whether the password is a preset password, and if the password is the preset password, display the second application on the second screen.

[0025] In a possible implementation, if the processor determines that the first application is a non-private application, the processor is further configured to determine whether the user uses the second application within a set time after displaying the second application on the second screen.

[0026] If the user does not use the second application within the set time, the processor is further configured to control the second screen to be turned off.

[0027] In a possible implementation, the password is a fingerprint or a face image.

[0028] In a possible implementation, the processor is further configured to receive a switching instruction input by the user.

[0029] The processor is further configured to switch the application displayed on the first screen to the second application, and switch the application displayed on the second screen to the first application.

[0030] The method and the terminal provided by the application can detect whether the first application currently used by the user on the first screen is a private application, and display a second application on the second screen according to the detection result. If the first application is a private application, the second application is a non-private application, or if the first application is a non-private application, the second application is a private application. The private application and the non-private application are displayed on two different screens, which effectively isolates the private application and the non-private application, and facilitates user operation.

[0047] Figure 2 The flow chart of an embodiment of the operation method of the dual-screen terminal provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the operation method of the dual-screen terminal provided by the present embodiment includes the following steps. Figure 2

[0048] Step 201: detecting whether the first application program currently used by the user on the first screen is a private application program.

[0049] ​The terminal needs to determine the application currently used by the user, and then determine whether the application is a private application. For example, the application currently used by the user can be determined by determining the process currently running. The operating system of the terminal usually manages the application, and it is relatively easy to obtain the application currently used by the user. When a private file is set in the application, the application can be determined as a private application. For example, when a hidden folder is set in a photo library or a video library, when some files are encrypted in a file manager, when a private short message is set in a short message, these applications can be determined as private applications. Alternatively, when the user uses an application lock to encrypt the application, the application can be determined as a private application. Alternatively, when the user uses a private space application to hide the application, the application can be determined as a private application. Alternatively, all applications in the terminal can be pre-divided by the user, and all applications in the terminal can be pre-divided into two categories of private applications and non-private applications according to whether there is private information to be protected.

[0050] Step 202: Display the second application on the second screen according to the determination result; wherein, if the first application is a private application, the second application is a non-private application; or, if the first application is a non-private application, the second application is a private application.

[0051] When the first application is a private application, the non-private application is displayed on the second screen; when the first application is a non-private application, the private application is displayed on the second screen. It should be noted that the first application and the second application can be one application or can include multiple applications, which are determined according to the private applications and non-private applications actually existing in the terminal.

[0052] The operation method of the dual-screen terminal provided in the embodiment determines whether the first application currently used by the user on the first screen is a private application, and displays the second application on the second screen according to the determination result. If the first application is a private application, the second application is a non-private application, or if the first application is a non-private application, the second application is a private application. The private application and the non-private application are displayed on two different screens, which effectively isolates the private application and the non-private application, facilitates user operation, and does not cause the delay of the notification message of the private application.

[0053] On the basis of the above embodiment, the first application in the above embodiment is a non-private application, which is described in detail.

[0054] When the first application is a non-private application, then before displaying the private application on the second screen, in order to protect the private information in the private application, the user identity needs to be authenticated, and after the authentication is passed, the private application can be displayed.

[0055] The user needs to input a password on the second screen, if the password input by the user is consistent with the preset password, then the verification is passed, the second application is displayed on the second screen, and the second application is a private application. If the password input by the user is inconsistent with the preset password, the verification fails, then the second application is not displayed on the second screen, and a corresponding prompt information such as "password error" can be given.

[0056] The password can be selected from one or more of a fingerprint, a face image, a digital password, a figure password, and a voice password.

[0057] After the password verification is passed and the second application is displayed on the second screen, in order to control the power consumption in the terminal and improve the standby time, when the user does not use the second application within a set time, then the second screen is turned off to reduce the power consumption. The set time can be set by the user in advance according to the needs, for example, it can be three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, etc.

[0058] The operation method of the dual-screen terminal provided in the embodiment strengthens the protection of the private application by performing password verification before displaying the private application on the second screen, and reduces the power consumption and improves the standby time by controlling the second screen to be turned off when the second application on the second screen is not used within a set time.

[0059] On the basis of the above embodiment, the following will be further described through a specific embodiment. Figure 3 The flow chart of another embodiment of the operation method of the dual-screen terminal provided in the application is shown in FIG. 3. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 3, the operation method of the dual-screen terminal provided in the embodiment includes:

[0060] Step 301: detecting a first application on a first screen currently used by a user.

[0061] Step 302: judging whether the first application is a private application. If yes, then step 303 is executed; if no, then step 304 is executed.

[0062] Step 303: displaying a second application on a second screen, and the second application is a non-private application.

[0063] Step 304: receiving a password input by a user on the second screen.

[0064] Step 305: Determine if the password entered by the user is the preset password. If yes, proceed to step 306; otherwise, proceed to step 309.

[0065] Step 306: Display the second application on the second screen.

[0066] Step 307: Determine whether the user used the second application within the set time. If yes, repeat step 307; otherwise, proceed to step 308.

[0067] Step 308: Turn off the second screen.

[0068] Step 309: Prompt the user that the password was entered incorrectly.

[0069] The dual-screen terminal operation method provided in this embodiment detects whether the first application currently being used by the user on the first screen is a private application, and displays a second application on the second screen based on the judgment result. If the first application is a private application, the second application is a non-private application; conversely, if the first application is a non-private application, the second application is a private application. This achieves effective isolation between private and non-private applications by displaying them on two different screens, and facilitates user operation. Password verification before displaying a private application on the second screen strengthens the protection of private applications. By controlling the second screen to turn off if it is not used within a set time, power consumption is reduced and standby time is improved.

[0070] Based on the above embodiments, to further improve the convenience of operating private and non-private applications in a dual-screen terminal, the operation method for a dual-screen terminal provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0071] The system receives a switching command input from the user. The switching command can be implemented via a switching button located on the first screen and / or the second screen, or by the user flipping the phone, or by setting a switching switch on the terminal side. This embodiment does not limit the specific implementation method of the switching command.

[0072] Upon receiving the user's switching instruction, the application displayed on the first screen is switched to the second application, and the application displayed on the second screen is switched back to the first application.

[0073] The dual-screen terminal operation method provided in this embodiment enables rapid switching between applications displayed on the first screen and applications displayed on the second screen by receiving switching commands input by the user.

[0075] The system comprises a first screen 401, a second screen 402, a memory 403, a processor 404, and a bus 405.

[0076] The processor 404 is used to detect whether the first application currently being used by the user on the first screen 401 is a private application.

[0077] The processor 404 is also configured to display a second application on the second screen 402 based on the determination result; wherein, if the first application is a private application, the second application is a non-private application; or, if the first application is a non-private application, the second application is a private application.

[0078] Memory 403 is used to store the first application and the second application.

[0079] Bus 405 is used for the connection and communication of various components.

Processor 404 can also be other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, or combinations thereof. The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor.

[0081] The memory 403, as a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, can be used to store non-transitory software programs, non-transitory computer-executable programs, and modules, such as the program instructions / modules corresponding to the operation method of the dual-screen terminal in this embodiment of the invention. The processor 404 executes various functional applications and data processing of the server by running the non-transitory software programs, instructions, and modules stored in the memory 403, thereby implementing the processing method of the above-described method embodiment. The memory 403 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system and at least one application program required for a function; the data storage area may store data created according to the screen switching method of the dual-screen terminal, etc. Furthermore, the memory 403 may include high-speed random access memory and may also include non-transitory memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other non-transitory solid-state storage device. In some embodiments, the memory 403 may optionally include a memory remotely located relative to the processor 404.

[0082] Bus 405 can be an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus, a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, or an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus, etc. This bus 405 can be divided into address bus, data bus, control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 4 The bus is represented by a single thick line, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.

[0084] In one possible implementation, if the processor determines that the first application is a non-private application, the second screen is used to receive a password entered by the user before displaying the second application on the second screen. The processor is also used to determine whether the password is a preset password; if the password is a preset password, the second application is displayed on the second screen.

[0085] In one possible implementation, if the processor determines that the first application is a non-private application, after displaying the second application on the second screen, the processor also determines whether the user uses the second application within a set time.
