[0002] On mobile devices, users frequently switch between portrait and landscape orientations within applications, such as changing the orientation of their hand or starting video playback. Current mobile devices require the following steps to complete this screen switching: freezing the screen (display frozen or surface frozen), waiting for the system's global configuration and coordinate system to update, sending the new configuration to the application process, the process receiving the new configuration, updating its resources, reloading and redrawing, and finally unfreezing and starting the rotation animation to display the refreshed interface. In this sequential logic, there is always a period of unresponsiveness before the switch, and this unresponsiveness increases with platform performance, resulting in a worse user experience.

[0007] The window management service system extracts the branch containing the main window node corresponding to the first window from the tree structure of the window display system and creates an independent node, which is then used as the parent node of the main window node.

[0008] The window management service system controls the first window corresponding to the main window node to match the interface display direction through the independent node, and displays information content in the interface display direction based on the resources provided by the content provider of the first window.

[0009] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a system for switching the display direction of an interface, including: a window management service system and a content provider for the window;

[0010] The window management service system is used to determine the interface display direction to be switched when the interface display direction of the first window is requested to be switched; and to send the configuration information of the interface display direction to the content provider of the first window.

[0011] The content provider of the first window is used to preload the resources required for the interface display direction according to the configuration information of the interface display direction;

[0012] The window management service system is also used to: extract the branch containing the main window node corresponding to the first window from the tree structure of the window display system and create an independent node, and use the independent node as the parent node of the main window node; control the first window corresponding to the main window node to match the interface display direction through the independent node;

[0013] The content provider of the first window is further configured to: display information content in the interface display direction based on the resources provided by the content provider of the first window.

[0014] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a device for switching the display orientation of an interface, comprising:

[0015] The first determining module is used to determine the interface display direction to be switched when the interface display direction switching requirement of the first window is obtained.

[0016] A first sending module is used to send configuration information of the interface display direction to the content provider of the first window; the content provider preloads the resources required for the interface display direction according to the configuration information of the interface display direction;

[0017] The first processing module is used to extract the branch where the main window node corresponding to the first window is located from the tree structure of the window display system and create an independent node, and use the independent node as the parent node of the main window node.

[0018] The first control module is used to control the first window corresponding to the main window node to match the interface display direction through the independent node, and to display information content in the interface display direction based on the resources provided by the content provider of the first window.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0036] The network processing method, apparatus, and electronic device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a method for switching the interface display direction, applied to an electronic device, the method including:

[0038] Step 101: Upon receiving the request to switch the display orientation of the first window, the window management service system determines the display orientation to be switched.

[0039] In this embodiment, the electronic device may include a Window Management Service (WMS) system, a window content provider, and may also include a Sensor Manager and a Graphics Display Service (SurfaceFlinger). The Sensor Manager and Window Management Service are located in the framework layer of the electronic device; the Graphics Display Service is located in the native service layer; the content provider can be an application, or a third-party application, located in the application layer. If the window content is directly drawn by the system server, the content provider can also be in the framework layer.

[0040] This application embodiment addresses the switching between portrait and landscape display within an application. Within an Activity component adapted for portrait and landscape display, if the user changes their holding orientation (e.g., from portrait to landscape, or from landscape to portrait), or if the interface requests a change in orientation from portrait to landscape or vice versa, it indicates that the current Activity interface requires a switching function. This interface request may include, for example, the user clicking a button to switch display orientation or the system detecting that the current display interface needs to switch orientations.

[0041] When the window management service system receives a request to switch the display orientation, it can pre-calculate the future orientation state, that is, pre-calculate the orientation that the display interface needs to switch to.

[0042] Optionally, the window management service system can calculate the interface display orientation to be switched based on one or more of the following information: application request information (which can be dynamic or static), sensor data, and a settings switch database. The settings switch database may include, for example, settings such as portrait lock settings, landscape lock settings, and foldable / large screen orientation lock settings.

[0043] Step 102: The window management service system sends the configuration information of the interface display direction to the content provider of the first window; the content provider preloads the resources required for the interface display direction according to the configuration information of the interface display direction;

[0044] After calculating the future direction to be switched, the window management service system can directly send the configuration for the interface display direction to be switched to the content provider (which can be a client or an application). This allows the content provider to update its local resources in advance and synchronously preload the corresponding layout resources. It should be noted that the configuration for the interface display direction to be switched sent to the application here is not the current global configuration of the system.

[0045] Step 103: The window management service system extracts the branch containing the main window node corresponding to the first window from the tree structure of the window display system and creates an independent node, and uses the independent node as the parent node of the main window node.

[0046] Step 105: The window management service system controls the first window corresponding to the main window node to match the interface display direction through the independent node, and displays information content in the interface display direction based on the resources provided by the content provider of the first window.

[0047] The window display system of an electronic device is a complete tree-structured management system, and its core structure is expressed as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the tree structure includes: Display Root, m Overlay Containers, m Window Containers, Display Area Root, and multiple child nodes, including the Default Task Display Area node and its child nodes Task A and Task B. Taking Task A node as an example, this node includes child nodes Activity A and Activity B; the child nodes of Activity A include Window State A and Window State B; Window State A includes the child node Buffer Queue Layer A.

[0048] Since child nodes are influenced by their parent nodes, to achieve greater processing flexibility, this embodiment of the application requires separating the relevant nodes corresponding to the first window (such as the main window node and cache nodes) from the entire tree structure. The main window node is the node of the first window in the window display system, and the branch where the main window node is located includes the main window node and its child nodes.

[0049] The window management service system creates a new independent node, which can be a custom node, and uses this independent node as the parent node of the main window node, severing the connection between the main window node and its parent node in the original tree structure. This independent node is used to control the main window node. The window management service system can use this independent node to control the main window node to match the interface display direction to be switched. The first window corresponding to the main window node then switches its interface display direction. This first window also matches the displayed content based on pre-loaded resources provided by the content provider.

[0050] It should be noted that steps 102 and 103 are not sequential and can be executed synchronously. In this way, while the window management service system separates the main window node and controls it by an independent node, the content provider can also provide preloaded resources to the first window. Then, the first window can switch to the interface display direction to be switched and display the content correctly under the control of the independent node.

[0051] The independent node is independent node X, and the main window node corresponding to the first window is... Figure 2 Taking window A (Window State A) in the tree structure shown as an example, as... Figure 3 As shown, window A is detached from the tree structure, and independent node X can control window A and its child cache node A. Independent node X can send control information to window A to make window A and its descendant nodes match the interface display direction to be switched, thus realizing the visual switching between horizontal and vertical display directions.

[0052] In this embodiment, the window management service system creates independent nodes to temporarily control the main window nodes that have been stripped of their tree structure, so that the connection of the main window nodes in the tree structure can be restored later.

[0053] In embodiments of this application, when the window management service system receives a request to switch the interface display direction of a window, it can pre-calculate the interface display direction to be switched and send the information of the interface display direction to be switched to the content provider corresponding to the window, so that the content provider can preload resources based on the information of the interface display direction. By separating the main window node corresponding to the window that needs to switch display direction from the tree structure of the window display system and establishing an independent node to control the main window node, the matching of the interface display direction is completed, so that it is not affected by the parent node in the tree structure of the window display system, and has a higher degree of processing freedom. This application can complete the switching of interface display direction without waiting for global configuration updates, making the response speed of switching interface display direction within the window faster, reducing display latency and improving the smoothness of display direction switching. By breaking the limitations of window tree structure management, this application reduces the time for the framework layer to wait for global configuration and coordinate system updates. Its mechanism of parallel operation with pre-updating within the activity effectively improves the smoothness of users switching between horizontal and vertical orientations within the application, while reducing display latency.

[0054] As an optional embodiment, the window management service system obtains the interface display orientation switching request of the first window, including at least one of the following:

[0055] Receive sensor data, including handheld data of the electronic device; and determine the interface display orientation switching requirements of the first window based on the handheld data;

[0056] Receive interface request information sent by the content provider of the first window, and determine the interface display direction switching requirement of the first window based on the interface request information.

[0057] In this embodiment, the handheld data refers to parameters such as the orientation, angle, and center of gravity of the electronic device when held by the user. This data can be used to determine the desired window display orientation. Examples include sensor angle data and user settings (such as portrait mode lock).

[0058] The electronic device may include a sensor management system. When the sensor management system detects a change in the handheld orientation of the user's electronic device, it may report sensor data to a window management service system. The window management service system may determine the need to switch the interface display orientation based on the sensor data. And / or, the application may monitor the display requirements of the current display interface. For example, if the current display interface is in portrait mode, when it detects that the video to be played needs to be played in landscape mode, it may send an interface request message to the window management service system to request a switch of display orientation.

[0059] Upon receiving a switching request, the window management service system can pre-calculate the display direction of the interface to be switched and notify the relevant scene switching (Shell Transition) module to trigger the switching process without waiting for a global configuration update. For example... Figure 4 As shown, when the sensor management system detects a change in the handheld orientation of the user's electronic device, it notifies the phone window management system. The window orientation listener then notifies the shell transition module in the system user interface (system UI) component. Upon receiving the notification, the system UI needs to prepare for the orientation rotation. Compared to freezing the screen when a transition request is detected, this embodiment avoids interface errors or black screens caused by freezing.

[0060] As an optional embodiment, the step of using the independent node as the parent node of the main window node includes:

[0061] Instrument the independent node in front of the main window node;

[0062] The method further includes:

[0063] Record the pile location information of the independent node.

[0064] Optionally, after sending the interface display orientation configuration information to the content provider of the first window, the method further includes:

[0065] Receive resources sent by the content provider of the first window, wherein the resources are display resources corresponding to the interface display direction;

[0066] The step of controlling the first window corresponding to the main window node to match the interface display direction through the independent node, and displaying information content in the interface display direction based on the resources provided by the content provider of the first window, includes:

[0067] The configuration information for the interface display direction is sent from the independent node to the main window node;

[0068] The main window node changes the coordinate parameters of the first window based on the configuration information of the interface display direction, and displays the content of the resource information sent by the content provider of the first window.

[0069] In this embodiment, after the window management service system separates the branch containing the main window node corresponding to the first window from the tree structure, it controls the branch by creating an independent node. Specifically, the independent node is inserted between the tree structure and the separated main window node, and the insertion point information is recorded. The independent node is not a child node of the tree structure. Subsequently, the window management service system can use the `setTransform` procedure to control the main window node and its descendant nodes to match the interface display direction to be switched.

[0070] The first window can match the display direction of the interface to be switched based on the pre-loaded resources provided by the content provider and the control instructions of the independent node.

[0071] Specifically, the content provider for the first window may be a third party or it may be directly provided by the system service. The process of switching the display orientation of the main window based on control commands from independent nodes and pre-loaded resources varies in different scenarios.

[0072] In scenario 1, the System Server in the framework layer is the direct content provider, meaning the content of the first window is provided by the system service. This part directly treats the application startup page (surface) as an independent parent node container, which is managed independently of its internal buffer. The application startup page (surface) is still controlled by the window tree structure, while its internal buffer can act as the main window and, under the control of the independent node, independently switch the frame content according to the interface display direction calculated by the window management service system, so that the displayed content matches the interface display direction.

[0073] Scenario 2: If a third-party application layer acts as the content provider, the window management service system needs to notify the third-party client process after calculating the interface display orientation to be switched. The third-party client process then sends configuration information to the main window. Nodes independent of the tree structure control the switching of frame content for their main windows, thus changing the interface display orientation.

[0074] As an optional embodiment, after determining the configuration information of the interface display direction to be switched, the method further includes:

[0075] The window management service system updates the global configuration;

[0076] The window management service system sends the updated global configuration to the graphics display service system;

[0077] The graphics display service system updates the global coordinate system according to the global configuration.

[0078] In this embodiment, the window management service system, upon determining the interface display direction to be switched, can control the main window of the display interface to match the new direction state through an independent node, triggering the switch in advance, without waiting for a global configuration update. However, the global coordinate system remains in the original direction's coordinate system at this time. Therefore, the window management service system needs to update the global configuration locally and notify the graphics display server to complete the coordinate system and information update on the system side. The graphics display server holds a global lock during the process of updating the system coordinate system and information. The global lock protects the accessed object from simultaneous access and modification by multiple threads; only one thread can read and write at a time, while other threads must queue. Lock contention is severe and time-consuming. This application's method allows the updating of the global configuration and the switching of the interface display direction to be executed in parallel, effectively improving response time.

[0079] Optionally, after the graphics display service system updates the global coordinate system according to the global configuration, the method further includes: the window management service system deleting or caching the independent node, and restoring the connection of the branch where the main window node is located in the tree structure.

[0080] In this embodiment, after a global update is completed, the branch containing the main window node of the activity is restored to the system's native tree structure, allowing it to be automatically controlled by the tree management system and no longer requiring separate maintenance. Custom nodes created by the window management service system can be destroyed accordingly, or the objects and layers of the custom nodes can be cached and retrieved directly when needed next time.

[0081] The following example illustrates the implementation process of the interface display orientation switching method.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, it includes:

[0083] Step 501: When the sensor management system detects a change in the handheld orientation of the electronic device, it reports the data and triggers the process of switching the display orientation on the interface.

[0084] Alternatively, if the application detects that the display orientation of the interface in the first window needs to be switched, it can send an interface request to the window management service system to trigger the interface display orientation switching process.

[0085] Step 502: The window management service system receives the reported data and pre-calculates its future direction state, i.e. the interface display direction to be switched, based on the reported data and information such as the setting switch database.

[0086] Optionally, in step 503: the window management service system can compare the calculated future direction state with the members in the current window tree structure to further determine the switching requirements.

[0087] Step 504: The window management service system sends the configuration information of the future direction state to the content provider, so that the content provider can update the local resources in advance based on the configuration information and preload the corresponding layout resources synchronously.

[0088] Extract the branch containing the main window node corresponding to the first window from the tree structure of the window display system and create an independent node. Instrument the independent node between the tree structure and the extracted main window node, and record the instrumentation information. Use the independent node to control the extracted main window node to match its future orientation state.

[0089] In this embodiment, the window display system is a complete tree structure management system. Since child nodes are affected by their parent nodes, to achieve higher processing freedom, it is necessary to first separate the relevant nodes from the entire tree structure, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the main window node A is separated from the tree structure management system, and an independent node X is created and placed on top of it to control A.

[0090] Since the content provider has received the configuration information for the future orientation and preloaded resources, but the global coordinate system is still in the original orientation coordinate system (without waiting for the system's global configuration and coordinate system update), the display of the entire server-side window layer still refers to the original coordinate system. Therefore, it is necessary to use an independent node X instrumented before the stripped-out main window A to control this node to match the future orientation, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the information updated and loaded by the application is consistent with the orientation of the main window, and the content can be loaded correctly after the reference coordinate system is matched.

[0091] Specifically, the content provider can be a third party or a system service. If the content provider is a system service, the window management service system can directly send the future orientation configuration information to its internal buffer. After updating and preloading resources, the internal buffer can switch the frame content under the control of independent nodes to match the displayed content with the orientation of the interface to be switched.

[0092] If the content provider is a third party, the window management service system needs to send the future orientation configuration information to the third-party application layer. The third-party application layer then updates and preloads resources. Its nodes, independent of the tree structure, serve as the main window nodes, and can control the switching of frame content based on these independent nodes to match the displayed content with the orientation of the interface to be switched. This completes the visual switching between portrait and landscape display within the interface.

[0093] Step 505: After the window management service system calculates the interface display direction to be switched, the server in the framework layer updates the global configuration and window management system information locally.

[0094] Step 506: After updating the information, the window management service system notifies the native layer's graphics display service system, which then updates the coordinate system and information on the system side. This access process holds a Global lock.

[0095] Step 507: After handing over the stake, disconnect the stake connection and restore the control of the branch where the main window is located in the tree structure according to the recorded stake position information for management.

[0096] This step restores the activity's main window node back to the system's native tree structure, allowing it to be automatically controlled by the tree management system and no longer requiring separate maintenance. Created X nodes can be destroyed, or their objects and layers can be cached for later retrieval. For example... Figure 7 As shown.

[0097] This application breaks through the limitations of window tree structure management, reducing the time the framework layer spends waiting for global configuration and coordinate system updates. Its mechanism, which combines horizontal and vertical switching with in-activity pre-updates, effectively improves the smoothness and display latency experience for users switching between portrait and landscape modes within the application. It is compatible with both System Server as a content provider and third-party content providers, providing broader application coverage. Furthermore, the independent portrait and landscape management solution within the interface offers strong scenario scalability, the instrumentation method causes minimal disruption to the native system architecture, and instrumentation can be quickly removed after the scenario is completed.

[0098] In embodiments of this application, when the window management service system receives a request to switch the interface display direction of a window, it can pre-calculate the interface display direction to be switched and send this information to the content provider corresponding to the window, allowing the content provider to preload resources based on this information. By separating the main window node corresponding to the window whose display direction needs to be switched from the tree structure of the window display system and establishing an independent node to control the main window node, the matching of the interface display direction is completed, ensuring that it is not affected by the parent node in the tree structure of the window display system, thus providing greater processing freedom. This application can complete the switching of the interface display direction without waiting for a global configuration update, resulting in faster response speed for switching the interface display direction within the window, reducing display latency and improving the smoothness of the display direction switching.
