[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] 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.

[0029] The following is a detailed description of the application startup method provided by the embodiment of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Reference Figure 1, shows a flowchart of the steps of an application startup method provided by an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the application startup method may include the following steps:

[0031] Step 101: receiving a first input for a first application icon in a first system, where the first application icon is an application icon corresponding to the first application program in the first system.

[0032] The embodiments of the present application can be applied to a scenario in which applications under different systems are associated to achieve quick startup of the applications under different systems.

[0033] In this example, the electronic device can support the first system and the second system at the same time. The specific types of the first system and the second system can be determined according to business requirements, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0034] In this example, the first application may be a video application, a conversation application, a game application, etc. The specific type of the first application may be determined according to business requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on this.

[0035] The first application icon refers to an application icon corresponding to the first application program in the first system.

[0036] The first input refers to the input performed by the user on the first application icon for updating the application icon of the second application associated with the first application under the first system. In this example, the first input can be an input formed by the user sliding the first application icon. For example, after the first application under the first system is associated with the second application under the second system, the first application icon and the second application icon of the second application can be merged in the first system. During the process of running the first application under the first system, if the user wants to run the second application under the second system, at this time, the user can slide the first application icon to update the application icon and display the application icon of the second application under the second system under the first system.

[0037] In actual applications, the first input may also be other forms of input, such as long-press input of an application icon, etc. Specifically, the specific form of the first input may be determined according to business requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on this.

[0038] The process of associating the first application under the first system with the second application under the second system may be described in detail in conjunction with the following specific implementation methods.

[0039] In a specific implementation of the present application, before the above step 101, the following may also be included:

[0040] Step A1: Under the second system, receiving a third input to the second application icon.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second application icon may be an application icon associated with the first application corresponding to the second application in the second system. In this example, the first application and the second application may be the same application, that is, the first application and the second application are the same application in different systems. Of course, the first application and the second application may also be different applications.

[0042] The third input refers to the input performed by the user on the first application icon for displaying system-related options. In this example, the third input can be an input formed by the user long pressing the second application icon, or can be other forms of input, such as dragging the second application icon, etc. Specifically, the specific form of the third input can be determined according to business needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0043] In the second system, if the user wants to establish an association between the first application in the first system and the second application in the second system, the user may perform a third input on the second application icon.

[0044] After receiving the third input to the second application icon, step A2 is performed.

[0045] Step A2: In response to the third input, display system-related options.

[0046] After receiving a third input to the second application icon, system-related options may be displayed in response to the third input, such as Figure 2 As shown, after receiving the third input of the user to the icon of application 2, multiple options may be displayed, including system-related options, such as Figure 2 "Associated to system A" etc.

[0047] After the system association options are displayed, step A3 is performed.

[0048] Step A3: receiving a fourth input of the system-related option.

[0049] The fourth input refers to the input performed by the user on the system association option, that is, the input used to start the system association establishment. In this example, the fourth input can be an input formed by the user clicking the system association option, or an input formed by the user long pressing the system association option, etc. Specifically, the specific form of the fourth input can be determined according to business needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0050] After the system-associated option is displayed, a fourth input may be performed by the user on the system-associated option.

[0051] After receiving the fourth input of the system association option, step A4 is performed.

[0052] Step A4: In response to the fourth input, the first system is started, and a first application icon corresponding to the first application is created under the first system.

[0053] The first application icon refers to an icon of a first application program under the first system created in the first system.

[0054] After receiving the fourth input of the system association option, the first system can be started in response to the fourth input, and a first application icon corresponding to the first application program can be created in the first system, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first application icon of a first application can be created in system B: an application icon of application A2 (in this example, application A1 and application A2 are the same application, wherein application A1 is an application under system B, and application A2 is an application under system A).

[0055] After creating the first application icon corresponding to the first application program in the first system, execute step A5.

[0056] Step A5: receiving a merging input of the first application icon and the second application icon under the second system.

[0057] The merge input refers to an input performed by a user on the first application icon for establishing an association relationship between the first application under the first system and the second application under the second system.

[0058] In this embodiment, the merge input may be an input in which the user drags the first application icon to overlap with the second application icon, such as Figure 4 As shown, the user can drag the application icon: application A1 to overlap with the application icon: application A2 to merge the two application icons, etc. The user can also drag the second application icon to the input that overlaps with the first application icon, etc. Specifically, the specific form of the merged input can be determined according to business needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0059] After a first application icon corresponding to the first application program is created in the first system, an input for merging the first application icon with a second application icon in the second system may be received.

[0060] After receiving the input for merging the first application icon with the second application icon under the second system, step A6 is performed.

[0061] Step A6: In response to the merge input, an association relationship between the first application under the first system and the second application under the second system is established.

[0062] After receiving a merging input for the first application icon and the second application icon under the second system, an association relationship between the first application under the first system and the second application under the second system may be established in response to the merging input.

[0063] The embodiment of the present application creates associations between applications in different systems, thereby enabling quick startup of applications in different systems.

[0064] In this embodiment, after establishing an association relationship between a first application under a first system and a second application under a second system, the application information of the first application under the first system can also overwrite the application information of the second application under the second system. Specifically, it can be described in detail in combination with the following specific implementation method.

[0065] In another specific implementation of the present application, after the above step A6, the following may also be included:

[0066] Step B1: Under the first system, receiving a first sending input of first application information of the first application.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first application information refers to information within the first application program. In this example, the first application information may be account information, etc. Specifically, the type of the first application information may be determined according to business requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0068] The first sending input refers to an input executed by a user for sending first application information of a first application under a first system to a second application under a second system.

[0069] After the association relationship between the first application under the first system and the second application under the second system is established, the user can perform a first sending input on the first application information of the first application under the first system.

[0070] After receiving the first sending input of the first application information of the first application program, step B2 is executed.

[0071] Step B2: In response to the first sending input, the first application information is sent to the second application, and the second application information in the second application is replaced by the first application information.

[0072] The second application information refers to information in the second application that matches the first application information. For example, when the first application information is the account information of the first application, the second application information is the account information of the second application.

[0073] In the first system, after receiving the first sending input of the first application information of the first application, the first application information can be sent to the second application in response to the first sending input, and the second application information in the second application is replaced with the first application information. For example, for data that can only exist in one copy during the application operation, the "overwrite" strategy is used, such as the logged-in user account. During the association process, the user can send the account information of the "order application 2" of the B system to the "order application 1" of the A system. In this way, when the user starts the "order application 1" in the A system, it will automatically log in as the account of the "order application 2", etc.

[0074] In this embodiment, after establishing an association relationship between the first application under the first system and the second application under the second system, the application information of the first application under the first system and the application information of the second application under the second system can also be merged. Specifically, it can be described in detail in combination with the following specific implementation method.

[0075] In another specific implementation of the present application, after the above step A6, the following may also be included:

[0076] Step C1: Under the first system, receiving a second sending input of third application information of the first application.

[0077] In this embodiment, the third application information may be application information within the first application under the first system. In this example, the third application information may be order information within the first application, etc. Specifically, the type of the third application information may be determined according to business requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0078] The second sending input refers to an input for sending the third application information of the first application to the second application.

[0079] After the association relationship between the first application under the first system and the second application under the second system is established, an input executed by the user to send the third application information of the first application to the second application, ie, a second sending input, can be received.

[0080] After receiving the second sending input of the third application information of the first application, step C2 is performed.

[0081] Step C2: In response to the second sending input, the third application information is sent to the second application, and the fourth application information and the third application information in the second application are merged.

[0082] The fourth application information is information in the second application that matches the third application information. For example, when the third application information is order information in the first application, the fourth application information is the order information in the second application, and so on.

[0083] After receiving the second sending input of the third application information of the first application, the third application information can be sent to the second application in response to the second sending input, and the fourth application information and the third application information in the second application are merged, that is, the fourth application information and the third application information are merged in the second application. For example, for data that can exist in multiple copies, the "merge" strategy can be used. Such as shopping carts and favorites. During the association process, the user can send the shopping cart of "Order Application 2" of System B to "Order Application 1" of System A. In this way, the user can aggregate the products in the shopping cart of "Order Application 1" to facilitate the combined order.

[0084] When the electronic device is running a first application under a first system, if the user wants to start a second application under a second system, the user may perform a first input on the first application icon.

[0085] After receiving a first input to a first application icon, step 102 is performed.

[0086] Step 102: In response to the first input, update the first application icon to a second application icon, where the second application icon is an application icon of a second application program under a second system and associated with the first application program.

[0087] The second application icon refers to an application icon of a second application associated with the first application under a second system. In this example, the first application may be the same application as the second application. For example, the first application and the second application are the same application, but the corresponding application icons are different in different systems. The first application may be an application different from the first application. For example, the first application is a video application and the second application is a game application.

[0088] It can be understood that the above examples are only examples listed for a better understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present embodiments.

[0089] After receiving the first input to the first application icon, the first application icon may be updated and displayed as a second application icon, that is, the second application icon of the second application program is displayed in the first system, such as Figure 5 As shown, the application icon first displayed in system B is application A1, and after receiving the first input, the application icon of the application program under system B can be displayed: application A2.

[0090] After the first application icon is updated to the second application icon, step 103 is executed.

[0091] Step 103: Receive a second input to the second application icon.

[0092] The second input refers to an input performed by a user on the second application icon for running a second application program under the second system.

[0093] In some examples, the second input may be input generated by a user clicking a second application icon. For example, after displaying the second application icon under the second system, the user may click the second application icon to run the second application. At this time, the input of the user clicking the second application icon may be regarded as the second input.

[0094] In some examples, the second input may be an input formed by a user long pressing the second application icon. For example, after displaying the second application icon under the second system, the user may long press the second application icon to run the second application. At this time, the input of the user long pressing the second application icon may be regarded as the second input.

[0095] It can be understood that the above examples are merely examples listed for a better understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to be the sole limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0096] After the second application icon is updated and displayed, when the user launches the second application program, the user may perform a second input on the second application icon.

[0097] After receiving the second input to the second application icon, step 104 is performed.

[0098] Step 104: In response to the second input, start the second application in a second system.

[0099] After receiving the second input to the second application icon, the second application program may be started under the second system in response to the second input.

[0100] The embodiment of the present application associates applications under different systems, so that users can conveniently start applications under another system without having to switch systems, effectively reducing the number of operation steps and expanding the usability of the dual systems.
