[0002] At present, many functional components are installed in electronic devices, and different functional components have different functions. For example, a microphone is used to record audio and make calls (i.e., receive sound function), and a speaker is used to play audio and make calls (i.e., output sound function). Usually, applications in electronic devices need to call functional components to complete corresponding activities. Therefore, it is possible that multiple applications need to use the same functional component at the same time at a certain time. However, a functional component can only be occupied by one application at a certain time.

[0003] In the related art, when multiple applications need to use the same functional component at the same time, the user can neither clearly perceive the application currently occupying the functional component nor freely select the application occupying the functional component, which can easily lead to errors when the user uses the functional component.

[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0040] The terms used in the disclosed embodiments are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the disclosed embodiments. The singular forms of "a", "an" and "the" used in the disclosed embodiments and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates other meanings. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0041] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in the disclosed embodiments, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the disclosed embodiments, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0042] For the purpose of brevity and ease of understanding, the terms used herein to characterize size relationships are "greater than" or "less than", "higher than" or "lower than". However, those skilled in the art can understand that the term "greater than" also covers the meaning of "greater than or equal to", and "less than" also covers the meaning of "less than or equal to"; the term "higher than" covers the meaning of "higher than or equal to", and "lower than" also covers the meaning of "lower than or equal to".

[0043] In the related art, when multiple applications use the same functional component at the same time in an electronic device, the user can neither clearly perceive the application currently occupying the functional component nor freely select the application occupying the functional component. For example, when a user receives a voice call from a communication software while conducting a voice conference through a microphone in an office software, and the user chooses to answer the voice call. At this time, both the communication software and the office software have a demand for the use of the microphone. In other words, there will be a situation where two voice calls, a voice conference of the office software and a voice call of the communication software, coexist. Since the user can neither clearly perceive whether the application currently occupying the microphone is a communication software or an office software, nor can he actively select an application to conduct a voice call in the two-way voice call, the user cannot determine which voice call the person he is currently talking to through the microphone belongs to, which leads to errors in the content of the conversation during the call.

[0044] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure proposes a control method for a functional component. When it is determined that at least two applications need to use a target functional component at the same time, prompt information for representing the use demand for the target functional component is displayed in an electronic device, so that the user can clearly know the application currently occupying the target functional component through the prompt information, and the user can switch the application occupying the target functional component by himself through the prompt information, thereby avoiding errors when the user uses the target functional component, which helps to improve the user's use experience of the target functional component. Next, one or more embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail.

[0045] Figure 1It is a schematic flow chart of a control method of a functional component according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The control method of the functional component shown in this embodiment can be executed by an electronic device equipped with a target functional component, and the electronic device includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, an Internet of Things device and other communication devices. The electronic device can communicate with a network device, and the network device includes but is not limited to a network device in a 4G, 5G, 6G and other communication systems, such as a base station, a core network, etc.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the functional component may include the following steps:

[0047] S101: Obtaining usage requirements of the target functional component by various application programs in the electronic device.

[0048] Electronic devices are usually equipped with several functional components, and different functional components can provide different functions. For example, the touch screen can be used to input information, and the camera can be used to take photos and record videos. The target functional component can be any functional component installed in the electronic device.

[0049] An application is software installed and run in an electronic device. Usually, an application needs to call functional components to provide users with corresponding functions. For example, communication software needs to call functional components such as cameras and microphones to provide users with video call functions, and music applications need to call speakers to provide users with music output functions. When an application calls a target functional component, it means that the application has a use demand for the target functional component.

[0050] S102: When at least two applications have usage requirements for the target functional component at the same time, display prompt information for representing the usage requirements.

[0051] The prompt information can be displayed in any form at any position in the display page of the electronic device. The display form can include text form, pattern form, pop-up form, message notification form. The display position can include top display, fixed position display, and scrolling display in the display page. Regarding the display method of the prompt information (including display form, display position, etc.), those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0052] In the above embodiment, by displaying prompt information on the usage requirements of each application for the target functional component, the user can clearly understand the application currently occupying the target functional component through the prompt information. At the same time, the user can switch the application occupying the target functional component by himself through the prompt information, thereby avoiding errors when the user uses the target functional component, which helps to improve the user's usage experience of the target functional component.

[0053] In one embodiment, displaying prompt information for representing the usage demand situation of the target functional component may specifically include: displaying information of the first application that occupies the target functional component at the same time.

[0054] Since the target functional component can only be occupied by one application at the same time, when there are at least two applications that require the target functional component, only one application is occupying the target functional component, and the other applications are in a state of waiting to occupy the target functional component.

[0055] Taking the aforementioned voice conference of office software and voice call of communication software as an example, it is assumed that the first application currently occupying the microphone is the office software. Figure 2a FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing information of a first application program provided by an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2a As shown, a pop-up window can be displayed on the display page of the electronic device, and the icon of the office software and the microphone logo can be displayed in the pop-up window to indicate that the office software is currently occupying the microphone. Of course, the information of the first application can also be displayed in text form at the top position of the display page to indicate that the office software is currently occupying the microphone, such as Figure 2b By showing the user the prompt information that the microphone is occupied by office software, the user can clearly know the identity of the current call partner and the scene of the call, thereby avoiding the user from inputting content irrelevant to the meeting during the voice conference of the office software.

[0056] In this embodiment, by displaying the information of the first application that occupies the target functional component at the same time, the user can use this information to clearly identify the first application that currently occupies the target functional component, thereby clarifying the usage scenario of the target functional component, which helps the user to take operations consistent with the first application and avoid errors during the use of the first application.

[0057] In one embodiment, in addition to displaying the information of the first application occupying the target functional component at the same time, the information of the second application that has a demand for the target functional component at the same time and is different from the first application can also be displayed. The display method of the information of the first application is different from that of the information of the second application.

[0058] For at least two applications that have a need to use the target functional component at the same time, the application that is occupying the target functional component at the same time can be called a first application, and the other application that has a need to use the target functional component at the same time can be called a second application. By displaying the information of the second application together with the information of the first application, the user can clearly know the second application waiting to use the target functional component and the number of the second application, which helps the user determine whether to switch the application occupying the target functional component based on the information of the second application, and helps to avoid the situation where the second application waits for a long time to use the target functional component. In addition, in the case where the number of second applications exceeds 2, the priority of the second application can be determined based on the information of each second application, so that the application occupying the target functional component can be switched according to the priority.

[0059] The display method of the information of the first application program is different from that of the information of the second application program, which can be that the information of the first application program is displayed separately by flashing, or the display color of the information of the first application program is set to be different from the display color of the information of the second application program, or the information of the first application program can be displayed differently by adding a special mark. Of course, the information of the first application program and the information of the second application program can also be displayed differently by other methods, which are not limited by the present disclosure.

[0060] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing information of a first application and information of a second application provided by an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the target functional component is a microphone, and the applications that need to use the microphone at the same time are an office software, a communication software, and a game software. Among them, the communication software is the first application that is occupying the microphone, and the office software and the game software are the second applications. The information of the first application is the icon of the communication software, and the information of the second application is the icon of the office software and the icon of the game software. By adding a microphone logo next to the icon of the communication software, the information of the first application and the information of the second application are displayed separately.

[0061] according to Figure 3 From the prompt information shown, the user can clearly see that two applications are waiting to occupy the microphone, and based on the usage scenarios of office software and game software, it can be determined that the priority of office software in using the microphone is higher than that of game software. Therefore, the user can choose to pause the call on the communication software and switch the application occupying the microphone to office software first, so as to avoid work errors caused by the office software waiting for the microphone for a long time.

[0062] In one embodiment, in order to reduce the obstruction of the display page by the prompt information, the prompt information can be first displayed as a corresponding thumbnail logo, and then when a trigger operation for the thumbnail logo is detected, the usage requirement for the target functional component corresponding to the prompt information is displayed.

[0063] The thumbnail logo may be a logo including an outer frame and having a certain degree of transparency. Among them, the outer frame may be various shapes such as a polygonal frame or a circular frame. The thumbnail logo may be displayed on the side or corner of the display page, thereby further reducing the obstruction of the display page and avoiding interference with the user's use of the electronic device. Different thumbnail logos may also be set for different functional components. For example, when the prompt information is used to characterize the use requirements for a microphone, the thumbnail logo corresponding to the prompt information may be set as a circular logo or a microphone logo; when the prompt information is used to characterize the use requirements for a camera, the thumbnail logo corresponding to the prompt information may be set as a square logo or a lens logo. Of course, those skilled in the art may set the form, size, shape and other elements of the thumbnail logo by themselves, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0064] Figure 4 A schematic diagram showing a thumbnail logo is provided for an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown in the middle left figure, the thumbnail logo is displayed on the left side of the display page of the electronic device with a square frame. When the user triggers the thumbnail logo, the usage requirements for the target functional component corresponding to the prompt information will be displayed on the display page, as shown in the following figure. Figure 4 As shown in the middle right picture.

[0065] In one embodiment, in response to the user selecting the target application through the prompt information, the application occupying the target functional component can be switched to the target application.

[0066] Combination Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, when the microphone is occupied by communication software and office software and game software need to use the microphone at the same time, since the priority of office software is usually higher than that of communication software and game software, if the call made by the communication software is not very urgent, the user can select the office software as the target application and switch the application occupying the target functional component from the communication software to the office software by selecting the office software. Specifically, the user can click Figure 3 The icons of office software in the prompt information shown are used to switch the application occupying the target functional component.

[0067] In this embodiment, the user can select the target application through the prompt information to switch the application occupying the target functional component, thereby enabling the user to actively select the application occupying the target functional component, effectively improving the user's experience of using the target functional component.

[0068] In one embodiment, the electronic device runs a management service and an assistance service for a target functional component. The management service is used to receive a notification that any application calls a target functional component, so as to determine the usage requirements of any application for the target functional component based on the call notification. In addition, the usage mode of the target functional component can also be set through the management service. For example, the management service for the microphone can set the usage mode of the microphone to the handset mode or the speaker mode. The assistance service is used to receive a notification that at least two applications have usage requirements for the target functional component at the same time, and then display prompt information based on the notification.

[0069] Figure 5 A flowchart of the interaction between a management service and an assistance service provided by an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 , the interaction process may include the following steps:

[0070] S501: The application sends a notification of calling a target functional component to the management service for the target functional component.

[0071] When any application calls a target functional component, it will send a corresponding call notification to the management service for the target functional component. The application can achieve cross-process communication with the management service through the binder.

[0072] S502: The management service determines, based on the received call notification for the target functional component, that any application program has a use demand for the target functional component.

[0073] The management service may determine the number of application programs that have usage requirements for the target functional component based on the number of received call notifications.

[0074] S503: When at least two applications have usage requirements for the target functional component at the same time, the management service sends a notification of the usage requirements to the assistance service for the target functional component.

[0075] S504: After receiving the notification of the usage requirement, the assistance service displays prompt information for representing the usage requirement for the target functional component.

[0076] After receiving the notification, the assistance service determines the first application currently occupying the target functional component, and displays the information of the first application occupying the target functional component at the same time, as well as the information of the second application that has a use demand for the target functional component at the same time in addition to the first application.

[0077] S505: The assistance service determines the target application in response to the user's selection operation on the target application.

[0078] S506: The assistance service sends a notification of switching to the target application to the management service.

[0079] S507: The management service switches the application occupying the target functional component to the target application according to the switching notification.

[0080] In this embodiment, the management service for the target functional component determines the usage requirements of each application for the target functional component, and then the assistance service displays prompt information for representing the usage requirements when at least two applications have usage requirements for the target functional component at the same time. Since the management service needs to be responsible for the basic management of the target functional component, the assistance service is responsible for displaying the prompt information, which helps to reduce the service pressure of the management service.

[0081] In one embodiment, the target functional component includes a microphone and / or a camera. In combination with the above embodiment, the microphone can be used to provide functions such as making calls, and the camera can be used to take photos and record videos. When the number of target functional components used by at least two applications at the same time exceeds one, the usage requirements of multiple target functional components can be displayed simultaneously.

[0082] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a method provided by an exemplary embodiment for displaying prompt information on the usage requirements of two target functional components. Assume that when a user uses a camera and a microphone in a communication software to make a video call, there is a shooting software that needs to use the camera, and an office software that needs to use the microphone. Then, for the target functional component of the camera, the first application that occupies the target functional component is the communication software, and the second application that has the usage requirement is the shooting software. For the target functional component of the microphone, the first application that occupies the target functional component is the communication software, and the second application that has the usage requirement is the office software. Therefore, two pop-up windows can be displayed separately in the display page of the electronic device, one of which is used to display prompt information on the usage requirements of the camera, and the other is used to display prompt information on the usage requirements of the microphone. See FIG. Figure 6Of course, you can also combine and display the prompt information for the usage requirements of the microphone and camera. Figure 6 In the right picture in the figure, you can add a microphone icon and a camera icon next to the communication software icon at the same time. The "*" icon indicates that the pop-up window is used to display prompt information for the use requirements of the microphone, and the "×" icon indicates that the pop-up window is used to display prompt information for the use requirements of the camera. By combining the display, all the prompt information can be combined and displayed as a thumbnail icon, so that the user only needs to trigger the thumbnail icon once to display all the prompt information.

[0083] Corresponding to the above-mentioned embodiments of the control method of the functional component, the present disclosure also provides embodiments of the control device of the functional component.

[0084] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic block diagram of a control device for a functional component provided by an exemplary embodiment. The device is applied to an electronic device equipped with a target functional component, and the device may include: an acquisition module 702 and a display module 704. Among them:

[0088] Optionally, the display module 704 is specifically used to separately display information of the first application and information of a second application that has a demand for use of the target functional component at the same time and is different from the first application; wherein the display method for the information of the first application is different from that for the information of the second application.

[0089] Optionally, the display module 704 is specifically used to display the prompt information as a corresponding thumbnail mark; when a trigger operation for the thumbnail mark is detected, the usage requirement for the target functional component corresponding to the prompt information is displayed.

[0096] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a control system of a functional component according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 , the control system includes management services and assistance services running on electronic devices equipped with target functional components. Among them, ① means that when any application running on the electronic device calls the target functional component, it will send a corresponding call notification to the management service for the target functional component, so that the management service can determine the usage requirements of any application for the target functional component based on the received call notification. In addition, any application can also send a setting instruction about the usage mode of the target functional component to the management service, such as Figure 8 ② in. The management service can set the usage mode of the target functional component by the application program in response to the setting instruction.

[0097] When the management service determines that at least two applications have usage requirements for the target functional component at the same time, the management service will send a corresponding prompt notification (such as Figure 8 ③ in the figure). The assistance service responds to the prompt notification and displays prompt information used to characterize the usage demand situation. ④ indicates that when the assistance service receives the user's selection operation for the target application, the assistance service sends a notification to the management service to switch the application occupying the target functional component to the target application, so that the management service switches the application occupying the target functional component in response to the notification.
