[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0032] In response to the problems in the related art, the embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for managing an application. When a first application is running in the background, a first input can be received, and in response to the first input, any one of the following operations can be performed: closing the first application and starting the second application in the background; closing the first application and switching the second application running in the background to the first working mode; switching the first application from the first working mode to the second working mode and switching the second application from the third working mode to the first working mode. In this way, corresponding management operations can be performed on the first application and the second application in response to the first input, and the applications running in the background can be managed quickly and intuitively.

[0033] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the application management method, device, electronic device and storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0034] As an example, the application management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the management scenario of applications of electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers or laptop computers, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited here.

[0035] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for managing an application program provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the following steps may be included:

[0036] S110, receiving a first input when the first application is running in the background.

[0037] Specifically, when the first application is running in the background, a first input from the user is received.

[0038] Among them, the first input may include any one of the following inputs: dragging the first application icon corresponding to the first application to the input of the second application icon corresponding to the second application; clicking the input of the first application icon and the second application icon at the same time; clicking the input of the first application icon and the second application icon within a preset time length.

[0039] S120: In response to the first input, perform any one of the following operations:

[0040] Close the first application and start the second application in the background;

[0041] Close the first application and switch the second application running in the background to the first working mode;

[0042] The first application is switched from the first working mode to the second working mode, and the second application is switched from the third working mode to the first working mode.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the second application is not running in the background, that is, the second application is not started, the first application can be closed, and the second application can be started in the background in the first working mode. Among them, the first working mode is the working mode of the current first application. It can be understood that the working mode can be a low-power working mode, a night mode working mode, or a do not disturb mode, etc. In this way, the user can directly operate the second application on the desktop interface, that is, quickly open the second application, and make the second application run in the first working mode, so that the user operation is simpler and faster.

[0044] In addition, the task executed in the first application can be obtained. If the application type of the first application is the same as the application type of the second application, the first application is closed, and the second application is started in the background to execute the task through the second application. The same application type of the first application and the second application may include: the first application and the second application belong to the same type of application, for example, both are navigation, download or music applications, etc.; or the first application and the second application support the same functions, for example, both support the function of listening to books, the function of calling a taxi or the function of recording, etc. In this way, the user can set the task of the second application directly on the desktop interface, without entering the application to set the task of the second application, making the user operation simpler and faster.

[0045] For example, the function corresponding to the task executed in the first application can be determined, and it can be determined whether the function is the same as the function supported by the second application. If the function is the same as the function supported by the second application, the application type of the first application is the same as the application type of the second application. At this time, the first application is closed, and the second application is started in the background, and the task is executed by the second application.

[0046] As an example, APP1 and APP2 both have map functions. APP1 is running in the background and performing navigation tasks, such as navigating from home to the company. The user can drag the application icon corresponding to APP1 to the application icon corresponding to APP2. In response to the user's input, APP2 starts and executes the navigation task from home to the company.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, when the second application is running in the background, the first application can be closed, and the second application running in the background can be switched to the first working mode of the first application, that is, the second application runs in the first working mode. In this way, the working mode of the second application can be adjusted directly on the desktop interface without entering the application, making the user operation simpler and faster.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the second application is running in the background and in a third working mode, and the third working mode may be the second working mode, that is, the first application and the second application may exchange working modes. For example, application A is in day mode and application B is in night mode. In response to the user dragging the application icon corresponding to application A to the application icon corresponding to application B, application A may be adjusted to night mode and application B may be adjusted to day mode. This allows the user to directly exchange the working modes of the first application and the second application on the desktop interface, making the user operation simpler and faster.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first application is running in the background, the first input can be received, and in response to the first input, any one of the following operations can be performed: closing the first application and starting the second application in the background; closing the first application and switching the second application running in the background to the first working mode; switching the first application from the first working mode to the second working mode and switching the second application from the third working mode to the first working mode. In this way, corresponding management operations can be performed on the first application and the second application in response to the first input, and the applications running in the background can be managed quickly and intuitively.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the method may further include: when the first application is running in the background, displaying a first application icon corresponding to the first application in a first display mode. The first display mode is associated with the first working mode of the first application, or the first display mode is associated with a function running in the first application, or the first display mode may be associated with resource occupancy information of the first application. The resource occupancy information may include at least one of running memory occupancy information, network speed occupancy information, or positioning resource occupancy information. In this way, the icon corresponding to the first application can be displayed in different display modes on the desktop interface according to the running status of the first application, so that the user can quickly and intuitively view the running status of the first application running in the background.

[0051] For example, Figure 2 As shown, six application icons are displayed on the desktop interface of the electronic device, which are application icons corresponding to APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, APP5, and APP6. Among them, APP1 runs in the background in night working mode, and a "moon" icon can be displayed in the application icon corresponding to APP1. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , APP2 runs the taxi-hailing function in the background, and the “car” icon can be displayed in the application icon corresponding to APP2. Figure 4 As shown, APP1 is running in the background, and APP1 occupies 100M of running memory. Then a green border may be displayed around the application icon corresponding to APP1.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the first application can be closed, and the first application icon can be displayed in a preset display mode. The preset display mode can be a default display mode, for example, removing the special effects added to the first application icon and displaying the first application icon normally. The second application running in the background is switched to the first working mode, and the second application icon corresponding to the second application is displayed in the first display mode. In this way, the second application can inherit the working mode of the first application, and the second application icon inherits the display mode of the first application icon, intuitively showing the running status of the second application.

[0053] For example, Figure 5As shown, APP1 runs in low-power working mode in the background, and the "battery" icon is displayed in the application icon corresponding to APP1, while APP5 runs in normal working mode in the background, and the application icon corresponding to APP5 does not have a special display effect. The user can drag the application icon corresponding to APP1 to the application icon corresponding to APP5, and in response to the user's input, APP1 is closed, and APP5 is switched to low-power working mode, and the "battery" icon in the application icon corresponding to APP1 is removed, and the "battery" icon is displayed in the application icon corresponding to APP5.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the first application can be switched from the first working mode to the second working mode, and the first application icon can be displayed in the second display mode corresponding to the second working mode. The second application can be switched from the third working mode to the first working mode, and the second application icon corresponding to the second application can be displayed in the first display mode. In this way, the working mode of the first application and the display mode of the first application icon can be adjusted, and at the same time, the second application inherits the working mode of the first application, and the second application icon inherits the display mode of the first application icon, so as to intuitively display the running status of the second application.

[0055] It should be understood that the third operating mode may be the same as or different from the second operating mode.

[0056] For example, Figure 6 As shown, APP1 is running in the background in night working mode, and the "moon" icon is displayed in the application icon corresponding to APP1, while APP5 is running in the background in day working mode, and the "sun" icon is displayed in the application icon corresponding to APP5. The user can long press to select the application icon corresponding to APP1 and drag the application icon corresponding to APP1 to the application icon corresponding to APP5. In response to the user's input, APP1 is switched to the day working mode, APP5 is switched to the night working mode, and the "sun" icon is displayed in the application icon corresponding to APP1, and the "moon" icon is displayed in the application icon corresponding to APP5.
