For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0034] In order to facilitate the understanding of the scheme shown in the embodiments of the present application, several nouns appearing in the embodiments of the present application are introduced below.

[0035] Multitasking interface: refers to a system-level user interface provided by the terminal's operating system, in which applications or processes running in the background are displayed. Optionally, due to the high frequency and number of times of use of the multitasking interface, the terminal usually sets a quick operation command to call out the multitasking interface.

[0036] In a possible outgoing call mode, a physical button is provided in the terminal, and when the terminal receives an outgoing call instruction for a designated physical button, the terminal will display a multitasking interface on the screen. For example, the outgoing call instruction is triggered by a user long pressing the designated physical button, or the outgoing call instruction is triggered by a user double-clicking the designated physical button, or the outgoing call instruction is triggered by a user single-clicking the designated physical button.

[0037] In another possible outgoing call mode, a designated touch area is provided on the shell surface of the terminal, and when the terminal receives an outgoing call instruction acting on the designated touch area, a multitasking interface is displayed on the screen.

[0038] In another possible outgoing call mode, the outgoing call instruction is triggered by the touch screen of the terminal when receiving the first touch operation. As a possible triggering operation, the first touch operation may be an operation of sliding upward from the bottom edge of the touch screen. Alternatively, the first touch operation may be an operation of sliding upward from the bottom edge of the touch screen and staying in the touch screen for a first time. The first time is longer than the time threshold.

[0039] In another possible outgoing call mode, the terminal is equipped with a fingerprint collection area, and the outgoing call instruction is triggered when the terminal receives a second touch operation acting on the fingerprint collection area. For example, the second touch operation is an operation of sliding from the upper side to the lower side of the fingerprint collection area. For another example, the second touch operation is an operation of sliding from the left side to the right side of the fingerprint collection area, or the second touch operation is an operation of sliding from the right side to the left side of the fingerprint collection area.

[0040] In the multitasking interface, each task running in the background can be displayed in a vertical stacking, left-right stacking, vertical sliding tiling, or left-right sliding tiling, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, each task is displayed in a left-right sliding tiling display mode.

[0041] See also Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of a multi-tasking interface provided by this embodiment. Figure 1 In the multitasking interface 100, card 110, card 120, card 130 and card 140 are displayed. Among them, card 110 and card 120 are completely displayed in the multitasking interface 100, and card 130 and card 140 are partially displayed in the multitasking interface 100. The multitasking interface 100 can be slid in the up and down directions. Optionally, there is also a button 150 in the multitasking interface 100. After the button 150 is triggered, the terminal will close the multitasking interface 100. Optionally, a prompt text can also be displayed in area 160, and the prompt text is used to instruct the terminal to display the content identifier, and the content identifier can be displayed as a whole in a container. The container can be a bar, an arc bar or a container of other shapes. It should be noted that the container is used to indicate a virtual control in the terminal for placing a content identifier.

[0042] Content identifier: corresponding to the most recent content, the target content identifier is a content identifier in the content identifier determined according to the selected instruction. Optionally, in one possible manner, the content identifier is displayed in a target area, which is a closed area attached to the edge of the multitasking interface. When the multitasking interface is rectangular or quasi-rectangular, the edge of the multitasking interface can be at least one of the top edge, the bottom edge, the left edge and the right edge.

[0043] Display subject: a software subject that can independently display the latest content. In a possible implementation, the display subject can be at least one of an application, a service, a process, or a thread. The present application embodiment does not limit the specific implementation of the display subject, and the above examples are only exemplary.

[0044] In one possible approach, see Figure 2 , which is based on Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment provides a schematic diagram of a multi-tasking interface. Figure 2In the embodiment, when the terminal receives a downward sliding instruction for indicating a downward sliding, the terminal displays content identifiers at the top of the multitasking interface 100, and the number of content identifiers can be determined according to the screen width of the terminal and the size of the content identifiers themselves. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the terminal can fully display three content identifiers, namely content identifier 210, content identifier 220 and content identifier 230, and the terminal partially displays content identifier 240. Optionally, the terminal can also display a lock button 250. When the lock button 250 is triggered, the content identifier is fixedly displayed in the multitasking interface 100 and does not respond to a downward sliding instruction or an upward sliding instruction acting on the multitasking interface 100.

[0045] In another possible way, see Figure 3 , which is based on Figure 1 The embodiment shown is a schematic diagram of a multi-tasking interface. Figure 3 In the embodiment, when the terminal receives an upward sliding instruction for indicating an upward sliding, and the terminal Figure 2 In the state shown, if a trigger instruction acting on the lock button 250 is received, the terminal gradually displays the cards 130 and 140 completely in the multitasking interface 100, and gradually hides the cards 110 and 120. Figure 3 In the embodiment, the lock button 250 is changed to the lock state.

[0046] Content logo: An icon or thumbnail displayed in the multitasking interface. This content logo is used to indicate the most recent content.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 5 , which is a flowchart of a method for displaying recent content provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method for displaying recent content can be applied to the above Figure 4 in the terminal shown. Figure 5 In , the display methods of recent content include:

[0066] Step 510: Display the content identifier in the multitasking interface, where the content identifier corresponds to the most recent content.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can display the content identifier in the multi-task interface. For the display status of the content identifier in the multi-task interface, please refer to the embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 3 When the multitasking interface is displayed, a content identifier may be displayed therein, and the content identifier corresponds to the most recent content.

[0068] Step 520 : When receiving a selection instruction acting on a content identifier, a target content identifier is selected from the content identifiers.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, when the terminal receives a selection instruction acting on a content identifier, the terminal selects a target content identifier from the content identifiers. It should be noted that the selection instruction may be an instruction triggered when a content identifier is long pressed. For example, content identifier A, content identifier B, content identifier C, and content identifier D are displayed in the multitasking interface. The user's long press operation on content identifier A, content identifier B, and content identifier C triggers a selection instruction once respectively, so that content identifier A, content identifier B, and content identifier C are determined as target content identifiers by the terminal.

[0070] Step 530: When a subject display instruction is received, a subject identifier is displayed in the multi-task interface, and the subject identifier corresponds to the display subject.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, when a subject display instruction is received, the terminal can display a subject identifier in the multi-tasking interface, and the subject identifier corresponds to the display subject.

[0072] As a possible implementation, the subject display instruction can be triggered when a designated control in the multi-task interface is clicked. When the terminal receives the subject display instruction, the subject identification will be displayed in the multi-task interface.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 6 , which is based on Figure 5 The illustrated embodiment provides a schematic diagram of a multi-tasking interface. Figure 6 In the example, content identifier 611, content identifier 612, and content identifier 613 are identifiers that have been acted upon by the user through a long press operation, that is, they are content identifiers that have been acted upon by the selection instruction. Figure 6In the multitasking interface shown, content identification 611, content identification 612 and content identification 613 are all target content identifications. When the virtual copy button 621 is clicked by the user, the subject display instruction will be triggered in the terminal, that is, the terminal will display the subject identification in the multitasking interface. Optionally, the terminal can also display a virtual cancel button 622 next to the virtual copy button 621. When the virtual cancel button 622 is clicked, the terminal will cancel the selection of content identification 611, content identification 612 and content identification 613.

[0074] See also Figure 7 , which is based on Figure 5 The embodiment shown is a schematic diagram of another multi-tasking interface. Figure 6 When the virtual copy button 621 in the multitasking interface shown is clicked, the terminal will display the following Figure 7 The multitasking interface shown. Figure 7 In the multitasking interface, the terminal will display the subject identification 631, the subject identification 632, the subject identification 633, the subject identification 634 and the subject identification 635. Among them, the subject identification 631 indicates the process of chatting with user A in the social application C, the subject identification 632 indicates the process of chatting with user B in the social application C, the subject identification 633 indicates the social application C, the subject identification 634 indicates the Bluetooth service, and the subject identification 635 indicates the information application. Optionally, a cancel button 640 can also be displayed in the multitasking interface. When the cancel button 640 is triggered, the terminal will hide the pop-up window 600, so that the subject identification 631, the subject identification 632, the subject identification 633, the subject identification 634, the subject identification 635, and the cancel button 640 are hidden.

[0075] Step 540: When a trigger instruction acting on the subject identifier is received, the latest content corresponding to the target content identifier is displayed by displaying the subject.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal receives a trigger instruction acting on a subject identifier, the terminal will display the latest content corresponding to the target content identifier by displaying the subject.

[0077] In a possible implementation, the terminal may switch the display subject to the foreground, and display the latest content corresponding to the target content identifier through the display subject. For example, the terminal may enable an application or process in the foreground to display the latest content corresponding to the target content identifier.

[0078] In another possible implementation, the terminal may directly display the latest content corresponding to the target content identifier through a display subject in the background, for example, displaying the latest content through a background service or thread.

[0079] In summary, the method for displaying recent content provided by this embodiment can display content identifiers in a multi-task interface, and the content identifiers correspond to recent content. When receiving a selection instruction acting on the content identifiers, a target content identifier is selected from the content identifiers; when receiving a subject display instruction, the subject identifier is displayed in the multi-task interface, and the subject identifier corresponds to the display subject; when receiving a trigger instruction acting on the subject identifier, the recent content corresponding to the target content identifier is displayed through the display subject. Since the present application can select the content identifier of the recent content in the multi-task interface, and provide a display subject when the subject display instruction is triggered, the display efficiency of the recent content is improved, and the ability of the terminal to display recent content is enhanced.

[0080] Based on the solution disclosed in the previous embodiment, the terminal can also determine the display order of the subject identification according to the latest content type. Please refer to the following embodiment.

[0081] See also Figure 8 , which is a flowchart of a method for displaying recent content provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method for displaying recent content can be applied to the above Figure 4 in the terminal shown. Figure 8 In the method of displaying the latest content, the method includes:

[0082] Step 810: Display a content identifier in the multitasking interface, where the content identifier corresponds to the most recent content.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the execution process of step 810 is the same as the execution process of step 510, which will not be repeated here.

[0084] Step 820: When a selection instruction acting on a content identifier is received, a target content identifier is selected from the content identifiers.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the execution process of step 820 is the same as the execution process of step 530, which will not be repeated here.

[0086] Step 831, displaying a first control in a first layer, wherein a content identifier is displayed in the first layer, and the first layer is a layer in a multi-tasking interface.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can display the first control in the first layer, and the first layer displays the content identifier. That is, the layer where the content identifier is located is the first layer, and the first layer is a layer in the multi-tasking interface.

[0088] Still Figure 7 For example, the layer where content identifier 611, content identifier 612, content identifier 613 and content identifier 614 are located is the first layer, and a virtual copy button 621 is displayed in the first layer. The virtual copy button 621 is the first control.

[0089] Step 832, when a main body display instruction acting on the first control is received, a second layer is displayed on the upper side of the first layer, and the second layer is a layer in the multi-tasking interface.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, when the terminal receives a main body display instruction acting on the first control, the terminal displays the second layer on the upper side of the first layer.

[0091] In a possible implementation, the second layer is a semi-transparent mask, and the user can visually observe the second layer when it is displayed.

[0092] In another possible implementation, the second layer is a transparent layer, and the user cannot visually observe the second layer when the second layer is displayed.

[0093] Step 833, display at least one subject identification in the second layer.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present application, as a possible implementation method, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 Each control and icon in the pop-up window 600 is displayed in the second layer. Among them, the subject identification 631, the subject identification 632, the subject identification 633, the subject identification 634 and the subject identification 635 are all displayed in the second layer.

[0095] In this embodiment, step 833 may be replaced by step (1) and step (2) to implement the step of displaying at least one subject identification in the second layer.

[0096] Step (11), when a main body display instruction is received, the latest content type is obtained, where the latest content type is used to indicate the type of the latest content corresponding to the target content identifier.

[0097] In this embodiment, the terminal can obtain the most recent content type when receiving the main body display instruction. Optionally, when the most recent content is one, the most recent content type is single, and the terminal will determine the single most recent content type. For example, determine that the most recent content type is a text type or a picture type.

[0098] Optionally, when there are multiple recent contents, the terminal will determine multiple recent content types. For example, it is determined that the recent content types include text type and picture type.

[0099] Step (12), displaying at least one subject identifier in the second layer according to the most recent content type.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can display at least one subject identification in the second layer according to the most recent content type. For example, a display subject capable of displaying the most recent content type is displayed in the front position.

[0101] It should be noted that the terminal displays at least one subject identifier in the second layer according to the most recent content type, including determining at least one subject identifier according to the most recent content type. In the at least one subject identifier, the last access time of the display subject corresponding to each subject identifier is determined, and the at least one subject identifier is displayed from front to back in the second layer according to the order of the last access time from the current system time from near to far.

[0102] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the type of recent content, for example, the recent content includes at least one of text, picture, audio, and audio and video. The terminal will determine the subject identification that can display the content type according to the type. In at least one subject identification, the last access time of the display subject corresponding to each subject identification is determined, and the execution subject used by the terminal user that is closer to the current system time is arranged in the front display position.

[0103] For example, still refer to Figure 7 , the last access time of subject identification 631, subject identification 632 and subject identification 633 increases in sequence.

[0104] In this scenario, the terminal can display the subject identifiers of the display subjects that the user has recently used and can display in the front, which improves the efficiency of the user in searching for the subject identifiers and improves the display efficiency of the latest content.

[0105] In another possible implementation, the terminal can implement the operation of displaying at least one subject identification from front to back in the second layer according to the order of the last access time from the current system time from near to far through steps (21), step (22), step (23) and step (24).

[0106] Step (21), determining the latest display subject, the latest display subject is the display subject whose last access time is the most recent.

[0107] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the latest display subject. It should be noted that the latest display subject is the display subject whose last access time is the most recent. For example, for the latest content picture P1, the display subjects include social application C1, album application C2 and browser application C3. The social application C1 is the most recent application to be accessed, so the social application C1 is determined as the latest display subject.

[0108] Step (22), obtaining the target application corresponding to the latest display subject.

[0109] In this embodiment, the terminal obtains the target application corresponding to the latest display subject. For example, based on the example given in step (21), the social application C1 is the target application corresponding to the latest display subject.

[0110] Step (23), determining the active display subject that is active in the target time period, where the active display subject is the display subject in the target application.

[0111] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the active display subjects that are active in the target time period. The target time period is a time period preset in the terminal, for example, the target time period is 30 minutes. The target application is the social application C1, and the display subjects in the social application C1 include the process of chatting with user A in the social application C, the process of chatting with user B in the social application C, and the social application C. In this step, the terminal determines the three display subjects of the above social application C1 as active display subjects.

[0112] Step (24), displaying active display subjects from front to back in the second layer according to the order of the last access time from the current system time from near to far.

[0113] In this embodiment, the terminal can display the active display subjects from front to back in the second layer in the order of the last access time from the nearest to the current system time.

[0114] Please refer to Table 1, which shows the last access time of each display subject in a social application C1.

[0115] Table 1

[0116]

[0117] It should be noted that, in Table 1, the current system time is 2018 / 12 / 01 / 16:20:33, the last access time of process 1 of social application C1 is 16 seconds from the current system time, the last access time of process 2 of social application C1 is 2 minutes and 4 seconds from the current system time, and the last access time of the main interface of social application C1 is 5 minutes and 20 seconds from the current system time.

[0118] Therefore, the terminal will display the process 1 of the social application C1, the process 2 of the social application C1, and the social application C1 from front to back in the second layer of the multitasking interface.

[0119] Step 840: When a trigger instruction acting on the subject identifier is received, the latest content corresponding to the target content identifier is displayed through the display subject.

[0120] The execution process of step 840 is the same as that of step 540 and will not be repeated here.

[0121] In summary, this embodiment can determine the display order of subject identifiers in the multitasking interface according to the recent content type, thereby increasing the possibility that users use the display subject that they are most likely to use and improving the display efficiency of recent content.

[0122] See also Fig. 9 , which is a flowchart of a method for displaying recent content provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method for displaying recent content can be applied to the above Figure 4 in the terminal shown. Fig. 9 In the method of displaying the latest content, the method includes:

[0123] Step 911, receiving a multi-tasking interface display instruction.

[0124] In the embodiment of the present application, a multi-task interface display instruction can be received, and the multi-task display instruction is used to trigger the terminal to display the multi-task interface.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal receives the multitasking interface display instruction acting on the terminal, the terminal displays the multitasking interface. It should be noted that due to the difference in hardware devices of the terminal, the triggering conditions of the multitasking interface display instruction set by different terminals are different.

[0126] In a possible implementation, a full-screen terminal can use a gesture operation on the edge of the screen to trigger a multitasking interface display instruction. For example, the full-screen terminal can use the operation of sliding upward from the lower left corner or the lower right corner of the screen as a condition for triggering the multitasking interface display instruction. Alternatively, the full-screen terminal can use the operation of sliding upward from the bottom of the screen as a condition for triggering the multitasking interface display instruction. Alternatively, the full-screen terminal can use the operation of sliding upward from the bottom of the screen and staying for more than a first duration as a condition for triggering the multitasking interface display instruction.

[0127] In another possible implementation, the foldable screen terminal can trigger a multi-tasking interface display instruction by the folding angle of the terminal.

[0128] In another possible implementation, the curved screen terminal may trigger a multi-tasking interface display instruction through the curved edge.

[0129] In another possible implementation, a terminal with a physical button can trigger a multitasking interface display instruction through a specified operation received by the physical button. For example, the terminal can trigger a multitasking interface display instruction when receiving a double-click of the home button.

[0130] In another possible implementation, a terminal with a fingerprint collection area can issue a multi-task interface display instruction through a specified operation on the fingerprint collection area. For example, the terminal can trigger a multi-task interface display instruction when receiving a sliding operation from left to right on the fingerprint collection area.

[0131] Step 912: display the multitasking interface according to the multitasking interface display instruction.

[0132] Step 913: Receive a content identification display instruction acting on the multi-task interface.

[0133] Step 914: Display the content identifier in the multitasking interface according to the content identifier display instruction.

[0134] In an embodiment of the present application, when a content identification display instruction acting on a multitasking interface is received, the terminal displays the content identification. The content identification display instruction may be a specified instruction received in the multitasking interface, such as an operation of sliding the user interface downward. Or, an operation of sliding the user interface upward. Or, an operation of sliding the user interface to the left. Or, an operation of sliding the user interface to the right.

[0135] Step 920: When a selection instruction acting on a content identifier is received, a target content identifier is selected from the content identifiers.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present application, the execution process of step 920 is the same as the execution process of step 530, which will not be repeated here.

[0137] Step 930: When a subject display instruction is received, a subject identifier is displayed in the multi-task interface, and the subject identifier corresponds to the display subject.

[0138] In the embodiment of the present application, the execution process of step 930 is the same as the execution process of step 530, which will not be repeated here.

[0139] Step 940: When a trigger instruction acting on the subject identifier is received, the latest content corresponding to the target content identifier is displayed through the display subject.

[0140] In the embodiment of the present application, the execution process of step 940 is the same as the execution process of step 540, which will not be repeated here.
