[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 The terminal can include at least one processor 11, a memory 12, a communication interface 13, and a communication bus 14.

[0026] The various components of the terminal will be described in detail below. Figure 1 The various components of the terminal will be described in detail below.

[0027] The processor 11 is the control center of the terminal and can be one processor or a plurality of processing elements. For example, the processor 11 can be a central processing unit (CPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more integrated circuits configured to implement one or more embodiments of the present application, such as one or more digital signal processors (DSPs), or one or more field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

[0028] In a specific implementation, as one embodiment, the processor 11 can include one or more CPUs, such as the CPU0 and CPU1 shown in Figure 1 As one embodiment, the terminal can include a plurality of processors, such as the processor 11 and processor 15 shown in Figure 1 Each of these processors can be a single-CPU or a multi-CPU. The processor can refer to one or more devices, circuits, and / or processing cores for processing data (e.g., computer program instructions).

[0029] The memory 12 can be a Read-Only Memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device that can store static information and instructions, a Random Access Memory (RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device that can store information and instructions, an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), a Compact Disc Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM) or other optical disk storage, a magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and that can be accessed by a computer, but is not limited thereto. The memory 12 can exist independently, and is connected to the processor 11 through the communication bus 14. The memory 12 can also be integrated with the processor 11.

[0030] In a specific implementation, the memory 12 is configured to store data and software programs for implementing the present application. The processor 11 can execute various functions of the terminal by running or executing the software programs stored in the memory 12, and calling the data stored in the memory 12.

[0031] The communication interface 13 is configured to communicate with other devices or communication networks, such as a Radio Access Network (RAN), a Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), etc., using any transceiver-like mechanism. The communication interface 13 can include a receiving unit configured to perform a receiving function, and a transmitting unit configured to perform a transmitting function.

[0032] The communication bus 14 can be an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus, a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus, etc. The bus can be divided into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 1 Only one thick line is used in the figure to represent the bus, but it does not mean that there is only one bus or only one type of bus.

[0033] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal can be a television, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a computer or the like, which can display a home page including icons of a plurality of applications.

[0034] In order to solve the problem that the terminal is black-screened due to no available home page when returning to the home page from an application during the home page upgrading process, the embodiments of the present application provide a home page upgrading method, as shown in the figure, which can include the following steps. Figure 2

[0035] 201, receiving an instruction of a user exiting a target application.

[0036] Wherein, the user can operate a back key after using the target application to exit the target application, at this time, the terminal can receive the instruction of the user exiting the target application.

[0037] 202, obtaining a target task corresponding to the target application from an application stack.

[0038] Wherein, the application stack is used to manage tasks corresponding to non-home page applications in a running state. Since the system installed in the terminal, such as the Android system, the home page occupies a stack as an application, which is called a home page stack, and other applications occupy a stack, which is called an application stack, when the user uses a certain non-home page application, the terminal can create a task corresponding to the application in the application stack, which includes different activities of the application, therefore, the terminal can obtain the target task corresponding to the target application from the application stack according to the instruction of the user exiting the target application, so as to execute subsequent operations according to the target task.

[0039] 203, if the bottom of the target task is a return home page attribute, judging whether the home page is in an upgrading state.

[0040] ​The return home attribute is used to indicate that the target application exits and returns to the home page. After obtaining the target task, the terminal can end the activity by the Activity Manager Service module, and send a request message to the Activity Stack Application module. The Activity Stack Application module determines the return attribute at the bottom of the target task according to the request message. If the return attribute is the return home attribute, that is, the target application needs to return to the home page, the Activity Stack Manager module can determine whether the home page is in the upgrading state. If yes, it indicates that the user enters the target application, and the home page enters the upgrading process. At this time, the terminal Update Service module can perform the following step 204, that is, creating an upgrading interface task at the bottom of the target task. The upgrading interface task encapsulates the upgrading interface. According to the upgrading interface task, the upgrading interface is displayed to prompt the user that the home page is currently being upgraded, instead of displaying the home page, so as to avoid the terminal black screen due to no available home page. If no, that is, the bottom of the target task is the return home attribute, the terminal Activity Stack Manager module can return to the home page stack, call the home page activity, and display the home page.

[0041] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the application, the return attribute included in the target task is determined by the terminal according to the entry of the target application when the target task is created. For example, if the target application is started from the home page, the terminal can create a target task including the return home attribute in the application stack according to the instruction of the user entering the target application from the home page, indicating that the target application exits and returns to the home page.

[0042] 204. When it is determined that the home page is in the upgrading state, the upgrading interface is displayed.

[0043] For example, it is assumed that the home page interface of the terminal displays three applications, namely, applications A, B and C. If the user enters the application A from the home page, the terminal can create a corresponding task A including the return home attribute in the application stack. If the user clicks the back key in the application A, the terminal can return to the home page stack to call the home page activity according to the return home attribute in the task A, and display the home page. If the user enters the application B from the home page, the terminal can create a corresponding task B including the return home attribute in the application stack. If the terminal receives an instruction of the user exiting the application B, the terminal can create an upgrading interface task at the bottom of the task B when it is determined that the home page is in the upgrading state, and display the upgrading interface according to the upgrading interface task.

[0044] Further, in the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal completes the homepage upgrade, the terminal can determine whether the interface currently displayed is an upgrade interface. If yes, it indicates that the user is waiting for the homepage upgrade to complete, at this time, the terminal can delete the upgrade task and call the homepage activity in the homepage stack, and update the upgrade interface to the upgraded homepage to complete the homepage upgrade. If no, it indicates that the user is using a non-homepage application, at this time, the terminal can delete the upgrade task.

[0045] The homepage upgrade method provided by the present application, after receiving the instruction of the user exiting the target application, obtains the target task corresponding to the target application from the application stack, if the bottom of the target task is the return homepage attribute, determines whether the homepage is in the upgrade state, and displays the upgrade interface when it is determined that the homepage is in the upgrade state. In this way, when the user needs to exit the target application to the homepage, since the terminal can determine whether the homepage is in the upgrade state, and display the upgrade interface after it is determined that the homepage is in the upgrade state, the user is prompted that the current homepage is being upgraded, avoiding the problem of black screen due to no available homepage, and improving the user experience.
