[0026] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for ease of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it is apparent that one or more embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0027] The terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The terms "comprise", "include", etc. used herein indicate the existence of features, steps, operations and / or components, but do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations or components.

[0028] All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly rigid manner.

[0029] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C, etc.", they should generally be interpreted according to the meaning of the expression commonly understood by those skilled in the art (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include but is not limited to a system having A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B, A and C, B and C, and / or A, B, C, etc.).

[0030] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus and device for processing an access request. Before introducing the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the related technologies involved in the present disclosure are first described.

[0031] In the related art, currently, when an application in a terminal device obtains audio data, it usually needs to call an audio device (e.g., a microphone, etc.). If the audio device is already occupied by an application, then when other applications want to use the audio device, it will prompt that the audio device is occupied, and the audio device cannot be switched freely with the switching of applications.

[0032] For example, when using a first application (e.g., a conference application) for an online meeting, the first application will occupy the microphone resources. If someone calls the social application (the second application) at this time, or other applications also need to access the microphone, it will prompt that the microphone is occupied and cannot be switched freely. You need to mute the microphone of the current first application before using social applications or other applications. If each application handles microphone muting differently, it is also possible that after muting the microphone in the first application, the second application or other applications will also be muted at the same time, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0033] To address the above issues, the following approaches can be adopted.

[0034] The first type: The audio device of the laptop is usually in shared mode, that is, multiple applications can use the audio device at the same time. However, shared mode not only requires converting audio data, but also mixing data from multiple shared mode applications. While introducing delays, it also causes information confusion. For example, the speech originally intended to be in the first application (for example, the conference application) is actually transmitted to the second application (for example, the social application).

[0035] The second type: The audio device of the mobile phone is usually in preemptive mode, that is, the second application can preempt the access rights of the microphone of the first application. For example, if you are talking in the first application (social application), if you answer the call in the second application (phone), the call in the social application can only be hung up.

[0036] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an application to an electronic device, including: when the electronic device is in a first mode, determining a first application in a first state, wherein when the first application is in the first state, a first device of the electronic device can respond to a use request of the first application; if a second application requests to use the first device of the electronic device, according to the first state of the first application, the first device does not respond to the use request of the second application and maintains responding to the use request of the first application. Multiple applications that can use the first device are managed through a specific mode, so that multiple applications can dynamically manage access rights to the first device according to the user's wishes. According to the user's operation on the second application, the second application can meet the first state to access the first device, and different applications can automatically access the first device without complicated operations, and different applications obtain data in the first device with privacy, ensuring data security between various applications.

[0037] The following will be passed Figure 1~Figure 3 The method for processing the access request of the disclosed embodiment is described in detail.

[0038] Figure 1 The flowchart schematically shows a method for processing an access request according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for processing an access request of this embodiment is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes operations S210 to S220.

[0040] In operation S210, when the electronic device is in the first mode, a first application in a first state is determined, wherein the first application is in the first state and a first device of the electronic device can respond to a use request of the first application.

[0041] For example, the electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device such as a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a Bluetooth headset, etc., a smart home device such as a TV, a smart screen, a game console, a smart speaker, a smart projector, a smart TV box, a vehicle-mounted device, an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, a laptop computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. The disclosed embodiments do not impose any special restrictions on the specific device form of the electronic device.

[0042] The first device may be a function shared by multiple applications in the electronic device, for example, the first device may be an audio device including audio collection and / or playback functions. The first device may also be a positioning device.

[0043] The first mode may be a manual mode. For example, a user needs to manually select an application in a specific interface to switch between different applications to use the first device. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the first mode and can be set according to different requirements.

[0044] The first state may be an application manually selected through a specific interface in the first mode. In the first state, the first application can access the first device, and the first device can respond to a use request of the first application.

[0045] For example, when the computer is in manual mode and the first device is an audio device, the user manually selects the conference application through a specific interface, and the conference application can access the audio device. That is, the user can speak in the conference application through the microphone of the audio device, and can also obtain the sound of others speaking in the conference application through the speaker of the audio device.

[0046] In operation S220, if the second application requests to use the first device of the electronic device, according to the first state of the first application, the first device does not respond to the use request of the second application and keeps responding to the use request of the first application.

[0047] Exemplarily, the second application may be an application that can use the first device of the electronic device. In the case where the first device is an audio device, the second application may be a social application, a video player, etc.

[0048] The first device does not respond to the use request of the second application and continues to respond to the use request of the first application. It can be understood that the second application is not in the first state, the second application cannot access the audio device, cannot obtain the audio data generated by the second application from the audio device, and the sound of the user speaking to the second application cannot be transmitted to the audio device. It can also be understood that although the second application is in the first state, the second application's use authority to the first device is lower than the first application's use authority to the first device.

[0049] If the second application is not in the first state, that is, the user does not select the second application through the specific interface in the first mode, the second application cannot be in the first state. For example, if the user starts the social application by double-clicking on the computer desktop, the social application cannot be in the first state. Or if the user switches the social application running in the background to the active state through a process, the social application cannot be in the first state. Or if the user opens the social application by accessing the website, the social application cannot be in the first state.

[0050] For example, when the computer is in manual mode and the first device is an audio device, the user manually selects the conference application through a specific interface. At this time, the conference application can access the audio device. That is, the user can speak in the conference application through the microphone of the audio device, and can also obtain the sound of others speaking in the conference application through the speaker of the audio device. In the case of an incoming call from a social application, if the user clicks the answer button of the social application, the social application cannot use the audio device, and the conference application is still using the audio device. That is, although the user clicks the answer button of the social application, he cannot hear the other party's voice, and the user's voice cannot be transmitted to the other party. However, the user can continue to hear the voice of others speaking in the conference application, and the user's voice can be heard by others in the conference application.

[0051] When the second application is in the first state, but the second application has a lower permission to use the first device than the first application. For example, when the computer is in manual mode and the first device is an audio device, the user manually selects the application of the conference application through a specific interface, and at this time, the conference application can access the audio device. That is, the user can speak in the conference application through the microphone of the audio device, and can also obtain the sound of others speaking in the conference application through the speaker of the audio device. In the case of a call from a social application, if the user manually selects the application of the social application through a specific interface, but because the social application has a lower permission to use the audio device than the conference application, the social application cannot use the audio device, and the conference application is still using the audio device. That is, although the user clicks the answer button of the social application, he cannot hear the other party's voice, and the user's voice cannot be transmitted to the other party. However, the user can continue to hear the voices of other people speaking in the conference application, and the user's voice can be heard by other people in the conference application.

[0052] If the user manually selects a social application through a specific interface, and the social application has greater permission to use the audio device than the conference application. At this time, the permission to use the audio device can be switched from the conference application to the social application. That is, the user cannot speak in the conference application through the microphone of the audio device, nor can the user obtain the sound of others speaking in the conference application through the speaker of the audio device. After the user clicks the answer button of the social application, the user can hear the other party's voice, and the user's voice can also be transmitted to the other party. The user's voice will not be transmitted to the conference application and heard by others.

[0053] It is understandable that by managing multiple applications that can use the first device in a specific mode, multiple applications can dynamically manage access rights to the first device according to the user's wishes. According to the user's operation on the second application, the second application can meet the first state to access the first device, and different applications can automatically access the first device without complicated operations. The data obtained by different applications on the first device is private, ensuring data security between various applications.

[0054] Figure 2 A schematic diagram schematically shows a method for processing an access request in a first mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0055] As described above, in operation S210, when the electronic device is in the first mode, a first application in the first state is determined. In one achievable manner, the operation may further include operation S211.

[0056] In operation S211, a first interface is displayed, and a user's selection of a first application on the first interface is received, so that the first application is in a first state, and the first interface displays a plurality of applications that can use the first device.

[0057] For example, a first interface may be provided on the electronic device display interface, and all or part of the applications associated with the first device may be displayed on the first interface. The user may put the first application in the first state by clicking on the first application in the first interface.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 , the desktop of the computer displays a first interface, which displays social applications, conference applications, browsers, etc. The user clicks on the conference application in the first interface, which can put the conference application in the first state, that is, the conference application can use the speaker and microphone of the audio device. At this time, the conference application is in exclusive mode for the use of the audio device. The conference application can output audio data through the speaker and can also collect audio data through the microphone. Other applications do not have the permission to use the audio device.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the first device is an audio device, the first device of the electronic device responds to a request to use the first application, including: the audio device of the electronic device receives and outputs audio data of the first application, and / or the audio device of the electronic device receives user voice input and outputs it to the first application.

[0060] For example, continue to Figure 2 In the case where the first device is an audio device, when the first application issues an access request to the first device, the audio device can receive audio data of the first application and output it to the user; and can also receive voice input by the user to the audio device. It can also receive audio data of the first application and output it to the user and receive voice input by the user to the audio device.

[0061] For example, when the computer is in the first mode, the user selects the conference application through the first interface. At this time, the conference application can access the audio device. That is, the user can speak in the conference application through the microphone of the audio device, and can also obtain the sound of others speaking in the conference application through the speaker of the audio device. When the user selects the conference application, the service process can control the application to obtain audio data from the audio buffer 3 (Endpoint Buffer). The specific implementation process can be as follows: the audio interface 4 may include: management interface (MM Device API), audio stream (Wave Xxx Func), topology interface (Device TopologyAPI), volume interface (Endpoint Volume API), etc. The audio interface 4 obtains audio data through various interfaces and then caches it in the audio buffer. The audio driver 2 controls the conference application to read the audio data from the audio buffer 3, and plays it to the user through the audio adapter 1 by controlling the speaker. At the same time, the audio adapter 1 collects the user's speaking voice by controlling the microphone and transmits it to the other party through the audio interface 4.

[0062] As described above, in operation S220, the second application requests to use the first device of the electronic device. In one possible implementation, the operation may further include operation S221a.

[0063] In operation S221a, the user starts the second application so that the second application is in an active state to request to use the first device of the electronic device.

[0064] For example, the user can double-click the social application icon on the computer desktop to open the social application and make the social application active to request to use the audio device. At this time, the social application cannot be in the first state and cannot obtain the permission to use the audio device.

[0065] Or if the user switches the social application running in the background to an active state through a process, the social application cannot be in the first state and cannot obtain the permission to use the audio device.

[0066] As described above, in operation S220, the second application requests to use the first device of the electronic device. In one possible implementation, the operation may further include operation S221b.

[0067] In operation S221b, the user triggers a function of associating the second application with the first device, so that the second application is in an active state to request to use the first device of the electronic device.

[0068] For example, when the second application is a social application, if a call from the social application comes in, options for answering and hanging up the call from the social application will appear on the computer desktop. If the user clicks the answer option to connect to the voice call of the social application, even if the user clicks the answer option, the social application cannot be in the first state and cannot obtain permission to use the audio device.

[0069] Therefore, only by clicking on the application that wants to use the audio device through the first interface can the social application be placed in the first state to obtain the permission to use the audio device.

[0070] In some embodiments, putting the second application in the first state can be achieved by the following operations: receiving a user's selection of the second application on the first interface, so that the second application is in the first state, and the first device can respond to the use request of the second application and not respond to the use request of the first application.

[0071] For example, if the first application is currently using the first device, the user can select the second application in the first interface to put the second application in the first state, and then switch the usage permission of the first device from the first application to the second application. After the switch is completed, the first device will not respond to the usage request of the first application, and can only respond to the usage request of the second application.

[0072] For example, the conference application is currently using the audio device. If the user clicks on the first interface to select the application of the social application. At this time, the use permission of the audio device can be switched from the conference application to the social application. Then the user cannot speak in the conference application through the microphone of the audio device, nor can the user obtain the sound of others speaking in the conference application through the speaker of the audio device. After the user clicks the answer button of the social application, the user can hear the voice of the other party speaking on the social application phone, and the user's voice can also be transmitted to the other party. The user's voice will not be transmitted to the conference application and heard by others.

[0073] In some embodiments, the method for processing access requests in the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes:

[0074] In response to a second application request to use the first device of the electronic device, an interface related to the first interface is displayed, and a user's selection of the second application on the interface related to the first interface is received, so that the second application is in a first state, wherein when the second application is in the first state, the first device can respond to the second application's use request and not respond to the first application's use request.

[0075] For example, at the current moment, the conference application is using the audio device. When the second application is a social application, if a call from the social application comes in at this time, the computer desktop will appear with options for answering and hanging up the social application call. If the user clicks the answer option, it means that the user wants to connect to the social application, so that the user can normally answer the social application call. After the user clicks the answer option, the first interface can pop up to remind the user to switch to the social application through the first interface, so that the social application can be in the first state and obtain the right to use the audio device.

[0076] Alternatively, after the user clicks the answer option, a prompt message may pop up. For example, the prompt message may include: switch the permission of the audio device from the conference application to the social application, and provide options of yes and no. If the user clicks the yes option in the prompt message, the permission of the audio device may be switched from the conference application to the social application. The user may conduct a normal call on the social application.

[0077] Figure 3 A schematic diagram schematically shows a method for processing an access request in the second mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0078] As described above, the method for processing an access request according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include operation S310.

[0079] In operation S310, when the electronic device is in the second mode (Active Mode), if a second application requests to use a first device of the electronic device, the first device responds to the use request of the second application and does not respond to the use request of the first application.

[0080] Exemplarily, the electronic device may be set to the second mode, and the user may also use the second mode to switch the application's permission to use the first device.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, the second mode may be an active mode, where the user can double-click on the system desktop to select an application, making the selected application active. That is, the user double-clicks on the system desktop to select an application, making the selected application the focus window of the system, and the focus window represents the application window that the user is currently interacting with in the display interface.

[0082] For example, at the current moment, the conference application is using the audio device. When the second application is a social application, the user double-clicks the social application icon on the computer system desktop, and the chat window of the social application is displayed on the top of the desktop. The social application is then placed in the first state, and the use authority of the audio device is switched from the conference application to the social application. The user clicks on the social application call answering option to make a normal social application call. At this time, the social application can use the audio device, but the conference application cannot use the audio device. The user cannot speak in the conference application through the microphone of the audio device, nor can he obtain the sound of others speaking in the conference application through the speaker of the audio device. The user can hear the voice of the other party speaking on the social application call, and the user's voice can also be transmitted to the other party.

[0083] When the user selects the conference application, the service process can control the application to obtain audio data from the audio buffer 3. The specific implementation process can be as follows: the audio interface 4 may include: management interface, audio stream, topology interface, volume interface, etc. The audio interface 4 obtains audio data through various interfaces and then caches it in the audio buffer. The audio driver 2 controls the conference application to read audio data from the audio buffer 3, and plays it to the user through the audio adapter 1 by controlling the speaker. At the same time, the audio adapter 1 collects the user's speaking voice by controlling the microphone and transmits it to the other party through the audio interface 4.

[0084] In some embodiments, the method for processing an access request according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include operation S410.

[0085] In operation S410, an identifier of a first application is highlighted in a first interface to distinguish an application currently using the first device from other applications.

[0086] Exemplarily, when the electronic device is in the first mode, continue to refer to Figure 2 , the applications in the first interface can be displayed according to the application identifiers, and the application currently using the first device can be displayed in a highlighted form, so that the user can quickly distinguish the application currently using the first device from other applications. In other embodiments, a colored box can be added around the application identifier currently using the first device, so that the user can quickly distinguish the application currently using the first device from other applications.

[0087] In some embodiments, the method for processing an access request according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include operation S510.

[0088] In operation S510, a plurality of applications are displayed in a first interface in a preset order according to the associations between the user and the plurality of applications, respectively, wherein the associations represent the frequency of use of the plurality of applications by the user.

[0089] Exemplarily, when the electronic device is in the first mode, continue to refer to Figure 2 , multiple applications in the first interface can be sorted according to the number of times the user uses the application per unit time, and multiple applications can be sorted from high to low according to the user's usage frequency, and the application with the highest user usage ranking can be arranged in the first place.

[0090] It should be noted that the arrangement order of multiple applications in the first interface may change over time. For example, if the usage frequency of social applications is higher than that of conference applications in the first historical period, the social applications may be arranged in front of the conference applications in real time. If the usage frequency of social applications is lower than that of conference applications in the second historical period, the conference applications may be arranged in front of the social applications in real time.

[0091] As described above, in operation S510, a plurality of applications are displayed in the first interface in a preset order. In one achievable manner, the operation may further include operations S511 to S512.

[0092] In operation S511, an identification of each application is generated according to the attribute information of the plurality of applications.

[0093] In operation S512, the identifications of the plurality of applications are displayed in the first interface in a preset order according to the relevance.

[0094] Exemplarily, the attribute information of an application may be a characteristic of the application. The attribute information may be commonly used to describe and distinguish different applications. For example, the attribute information may be the name, chart, path, handle, etc. of the application.

[0095] For example, when displaying multiple applications in the first interface, the application icons can be used as application identifiers. The multiple application identifiers are arranged in descending order in the first interface according to the frequency of use of the corresponding applications by the user. When the user subsequently selects an application to use the first device, the user can distinguish different applications according to the application icons.

[0096] If the social application is used more frequently than the conference application, and the conference application is used more frequently than the video player, the corresponding icons of the three may be displayed in the first interface in the order of the social application, the conference application, and the video player.

[0097] In some embodiments, when multiple application settings in the first interface use priority for the first device, the method for processing access requests in the embodiments of the present disclosure may further include operations S610 to S640.

[0098] In operation S610, priorities of a plurality of applications in a first interface for use by a first device are obtained.

[0099] In operation S620, when the priority of the second application is lower than the priority of the first application, pending confirmation information is generated, where the pending confirmation information indicates whether the user switches the usage authority of the first device from the first application to the second application.

[0100] In operation S630, in response to a user's confirmation operation on the information to be confirmed, the use authority for the first device is switched from the current first application to the second application.

[0101] In operation S640, in response to a negative operation of the user on the information to be confirmed, the use permission of the first application to the first device is maintained.

[0102] For example, if priorities for using the first device authority are set between various applications in the first interface, the following operations may be performed to switch the use authority of different applications to the first device.

[0103] For example, when the conference application is in the first state, the social application requests to use the audio device, and the user selects the application of the social application by clicking in the first interface. If the social application's permission to use the audio device is higher than the conference application's permission to use the audio device, the permission to use the audio device can be directly switched from the conference application to the social application. If the social application's permission to use the audio device is lower than the conference application's permission to use the audio device, at this time, a prompt box (pending confirmation information) may pop up, and a prompt content will appear in the prompt box: switch the permission to use the audio device from the conference application to the social application, and give the operation options of "yes" and "no". If the user clicks "yes", the permission to use the audio device can be switched from the conference application to the social application. If the user clicks "no", the permission to use the audio device cannot be switched from the conference application to the social application, and the conference application's permission to use the audio device continues to be maintained.

[0104] Based on the above access request processing method, the present disclosure also provides an access request processing device. Figure 7 The device is described in detail.

[0105] Figure 7 The structure block diagram of the access request processing device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0106] like Figure 7 As shown, the access request processing device 300 of this embodiment includes a determination module 310 and a processing module 320 .

[0107] The determination module 310 is used to determine a first application in a first state when the electronic device is in a first mode, wherein the first application is in the first state and the first device of the electronic device can respond to a use request of the first application. In one embodiment, the determination module 310 can be used to perform the operation S210 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0108] The processing module 320 is used for, if the second application requests to use the first device of the electronic device, according to the first state of the first application, the first device does not respond to the use request of the second application and maintains responding to the use request of the first application. In one embodiment, the processing module 320 can be used to perform the operation S220 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0109] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, any multiple modules in the determination module 310 and the processing module 320 can be combined into one module for implementation, or any one of the modules can be split into multiple modules. Alternatively, at least part of the functions of one or more of these modules can be combined with at least part of the functions of other modules and implemented in one module. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of the determination module 310 and the processing module 320 can be at least partially implemented as a hardware circuit, such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic array (PLA), a system on a chip, a system on a substrate, a system on a package, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or can be implemented by hardware or firmware such as any other reasonable way of integrating or packaging the circuit, or implemented in any one of the three implementation methods of software, hardware and firmware or in any appropriate combination of any of them. Alternatively, at least one of the determination module 310 and the processing module 320 can be at least partially implemented as a computer program module, and when the computer program module is run, the corresponding function can be executed.

[0110] Based on the above access request processing method, the present disclosure also provides an electronic device. Figure 5 The electronic device is described in detail.

[0111] Figure 5 The structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0112] like Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device 400 of this embodiment includes a first device 401 , a configuration module 402 and a processing module 403 .

[0113] The first device 401 is used to respond to a use request of an application of the electronic device 400;

[0114] A configuration module 402, configured to enable the electronic device 400 to be in a first mode or a second mode, and if the electronic device 400 is in the first mode, enable the first application to be in a first state according to a user input;

[0115] The processing module 403 is used to control the first device 401 to respond to the use request of the first application when the first application is in the first state. When the second application requests to use the first device 401 of the electronic device, if it is determined that the first application is in the first state, control the first device 401 not to respond to the use request of the second application and continue to respond to the use request of the first application.

[0116] For example, the description of the electronic device 400 and the first device 401, namely the processing module 403, can refer to Figure 1 The instructions in the article will not be repeated here.

[0117] The configuration module 402 may be a program that enables the electronic device 400 to be in the first mode or the second mode. For example, the configuration module 402 may be installed as a plug-in on a computer. When the user opens the plug-in, he or she may select the first mode or the second mode of the computer application to manage the audio device usage rights of the application associated with the audio device (i.e., the first device 401). It should be noted here that if the application itself has the right to seize the use of the audio device by other applications, after the configuration module 402 is installed, the original right to seize the use of the audio device by other applications is shielded, so that the application is under unified management.

[0118] Figure 6 A schematic diagram schematically shows a method for processing an access request according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0119] like Figure 6 As shown, the first device is an audio device as an example. After the electronic device has a configuration module, the user can choose to work in the first mode or the second mode. The user can switch applications through the system display interface. The electronic device can be divided into three application layers during the application process, including: display layer, driver layer and audio interface layer.

[0120] The display layer is used for the user to select different applications to use the audio device in the first mode or the second mode of the display interface.

[0121] The driver layer is used to collect the properties of multiple applications associated with the audio device in advance through the audio driver, such as the path, icon, handle, group parameters, etc. of the application, and generate an identifier corresponding to each application in the first interface according to the properties of the multiple applications, so that the user can identify different applications.

[0122] The audio interface layer is used to collect audio data or output data information of audio devices.

[0123] After the user selects the permission for the social application to use the audio device, the driver will return the audio data of the audio buffer corresponding to the audio interface layer according to the social application selected by the user on the display interface.

[0124] It is understandable that the disclosed embodiment processes the audio session at the driver bottom layer by calling the system interface without considering the behavior of different applications. When the application is in the first state, the audio stream data can be obtained and the audio data in the audio buffer can be accessed, ensuring the security of audio data of different applications.

[0125] Figure 7 The figure schematically shows a flow diagram of audio data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0126] like Figure 7 As shown, the microphone is connected to the electronic device via the audio interface 4. The microphone collects the user's speaking voice. The audio interface 4 converts the input analog signal into a digital signal and sends it to the audio buffer 3. The audio driver 2 manages the audio data read from the audio buffer 3 and processes the format conversion, delay compensation, etc. of these data. The audio driver 3 transmits the processed audio data to the audio adapter 1, which converts it into an analog signal and outputs it to the speaker. Conversely, the microphone can also input an analog signal into the electronic device via the audio interface 4, the audio adapter 1 converts it into a digital signal, and the audio driver 2 stores the data in the audio buffer 3, which is finally transmitted to the operating system or application for processing.

[0127] The following operations can be performed to realize the operation of the electronic device in the first mode and the second mode respectively.

[0128] First, a background service program can be developed to enumerate all audio sessions and set corresponding properties (such as name and icon) for each session. Then, this information will be displayed on the first interface, and different applications can be distinguished by grouping parameters, session names and icons.

[0129] In the case of the first mode, according to the application selected by the user, the handle of the application selected by the user is identified, and the use authority of the audio device can be switched according to the user's selection.

[0130] In the second mode, when the user is using a social application to make a call, the social application can be used as the current active window. When it is necessary to temporarily enable a conference application to access the microphone, the conference application can be set as the active window. When the system service detects that the active window is the conference application, it obtains the handle of the current active window conference application and can switch the use permission of the audio device according to the user's choice.

[0131] If an application in an inactive window wants to use the audio device, when the application in the inactive window obtains the audio buffer size (Audio Buffer Size), the returned Buffer size is 0, indicating that the inactive window cannot obtain the audio data of the microphone.

[0132] Continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 , each application in the first mode and the second mode has exclusive access to the audio device. That is, when one application uses the audio device, another application cannot use the audio device and cannot obtain audio data from the audio buffer of the audio device. Therefore, compared with the audio data in the shared mode, the audio data obtained by the application in the exclusive mode in the audio buffer is independent, and the audio data between multiple applications does not interfere.
