These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, 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".

[0046] In the related art, a terminal device using a certain operating system can only support the operation of applications developed based on the operating system, and cannot simultaneously support the operation of applications developed based on other operating systems. When a user needs to use applications developed based on different operating systems at the same time, he or she can only carry multiple terminal devices using different operating systems to operate them separately, which results in a poor user experience.

[0047] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for using hardware. In the method, a multiplexing selection mechanism can be introduced into a terminal device, and through the multiplexing selection mechanism, a first terminal device using a first operating system can simultaneously support the operation of an application developed based on the first operating system and an application developed based on the second operating system. The following is a detailed description of the method for using hardware in an embodiment of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Figure 1 The present disclosure is a flowchart of a method for using hardware according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be executed by a first terminal device using a first operating system, and a first application developed based on a second operating system is installed on the first terminal device. Specifically, the first terminal device introduces the above-mentioned multiplexing mechanism, and the first terminal device can execute the following based on the multiplexing mechanism: Figure 1 Steps shown.

[0049] In step 101, in response to receiving a request message sent by the first application to use the first hardware, it is determined based on preset permission configuration information whether the first application has permission to use the first hardware.

[0050] The first hardware is the hardware on the first terminal device, for example, the first hardware may be: a camera, a speaker, a screen, a processor, a sensor, etc. The permission configuration information includes a mapping relationship between the first application and the usable hardware, for example, the first application may be WeChat, and in the permission configuration information, the hardware that WeChat can use includes: a camera, a screen, a processor, a sensor, etc.

[0051] When a first terminal device using a first operating system receives a request message from a first application developed based on a second operating system (for example, WeChat mentioned above) requesting the use of first hardware (for example, the screen mentioned above), it can determine whether WeChat has permission to use the screen based on preset permission configuration information.

[0052] In step 102, in response to determining that the first application has the use permission, the first hardware is allocated to the first application.

[0053] When the first terminal device using the first operating system determines that WeChat has the right to use the screen, the first terminal device can allocate the screen to WeChat for use.

[0054] In the hardware usage method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a multiplexing mechanism can be introduced in the first terminal device using the first operating system. Based on the multiplexing mechanism, when the first terminal device receives a request message from a first application developed based on the second operating system requesting to use the first hardware, the first terminal device can determine whether the first application has the right to use the first hardware based on the preset permission configuration information. When it is determined that the first application has the right to use, the first hardware is allocated to the first application. Through the hardware usage method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first terminal device using the first operating system can support the operation of the first application developed based on the second operating system, support users to use applications developed based on different operating systems on one terminal device at the same time, and improve the user experience.

[0055] In one embodiment, the above preset permission configuration information can be obtained based on the following method:

[0056] A hardware configuration description file of the first hardware and a program configuration description file of the first application are received, and then, based on the hardware configuration description file and the program configuration description file, the permission configuration information is generated.

[0057] The hardware configuration description file includes hardware information of the first hardware, and the program configuration description file includes hardware information of hardware that can be used by the first application program.

[0058] Taking the above-mentioned first hardware as a screen and the first application as WeChat as an example, the hardware configuration description file includes information about the screen, such as: screen resolution, screen length and width, etc. The program configuration description file includes hardware information of the hardware that WeChat can use, such as: camera, screen, processor, sensor.

[0059] Based on the above hardware configuration description file and program configuration description file, it can be known that WeChat can use the screen and the first terminal device also has a screen. Therefore, when the above permission configuration information is compiled, the permission configuration information can include the mapping relationship between WeChat and the screen.

[0060] In the permission configuration information, the mapping relationship between the first application and other hardware, as well as the mapping relationship between other applications and various hardware can be obtained based on the above method. For details, please refer to the above description and will not be repeated here.

[0061] Optionally, when the first terminal device is powered on for the first time, the first terminal device may automatically load the compiled permission configuration information to the first terminal device for subsequent use.

[0062] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the above step 101 may be specifically as follows:

[0063] In step 101 - 1 , when it is determined that the first hardware is the preset target hardware, an inquiry prompt message is output.

[0064] The target hardware may be part of the hardware preset by the user, or may be hardware related to user privacy, such as a camera, a microphone, etc. The inquiry prompt message is used to inquire the user whether to allow the first application to use the first hardware.

[0065] Taking the first hardware as a camera as an example, when the first terminal device determines that the first hardware is a camera based on the introduced multiplexing mechanism and belongs to the preset target hardware, it can output the above-mentioned inquiry prompt message to ask the user whether to allow the above-mentioned first application to use the camera.

[0066] For example, the above inquiry prompt message may be outputted by voice, specifically, "Do you allow the first application to use the camera?" may be outputted by voice. Alternatively, the above inquiry prompt message may be outputted in a pop-up box, for example, "Do you allow the first application to use the camera?" may be displayed at the top of the pop-up box, and two options of "yes" and "no" may be provided at the bottom of the pop-up box for the user to choose.

[0067] In step 101 - 2 , based on a received user selection message for the inquiry prompt message, it is determined whether the first application has permission to use the first hardware.

[0068] When the user is asked in the form of voice output, the first terminal device may open the microphone to receive the voice selection message input by the user within a certain period of time after the voice message is output. Alternatively, similar to the output of the inquiry prompt message in a pop-up box, while the inquiry prompt message is output in voice, two options of "yes" and "no" are given on the screen of the first terminal device in the form of a pop-up box for the user to choose. At this time, the user's selection message for the inquiry prompt message can be received based on the pop-up box.

[0069] When the user selects the query prompt message yes, it can be determined that the first application has the permission to use the first hardware. When the user selects the query prompt message no, it can be determined that the first application does not have the permission to use the first hardware.

[0070] In the hardware usage method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, security control can be added to the multiplexing selection mechanism, that is, when the first application wants to use part of the hardware pre-set by the user, or wants to use hardware related to the user's privacy, the corresponding request message is intercepted based on the multiplexing selection mechanism, and the user is asked whether to allow the first application to use the hardware. Through this hardware usage method, hardware resources can be fully used based on the user's wishes, providing users with a better user experience while improving the security of user use.

[0071] In one embodiment, after receiving a user's selection message for the output query prompt message, the first terminal device may determine whether the selection message indicating whether the first application is allowed to use the first hardware is consistent with the permission configuration information stored in the permission configuration information. If not, the permission configuration information is updated based on the user's selection message.

[0072] For example, the query prompt message outputted may be: Is WeChat allowed to use the camera? The received user selection message is yes. At this point, it can be further determined in the permission configuration information whether there is a camera in the hardware that WeChat can use. If not, a camera can be added to the hardware that WeChat can use.

[0073] For another example, the query prompt message outputted may be: Do you allow WeChat to use the microphone? The received user selection message is no. At this point, it can be further determined in the permission configuration information whether there is a microphone in the hardware that WeChat can use. If so, the microphone can be deleted.

[0074] In the hardware usage method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first terminal device can update the preset permission configuration information in real time based on the user's selection message, fully respect the user's wishes, and bring a better usage experience to the user.

[0075] In one embodiment, in order to avoid excessively disturbing the user while accurately obtaining the user's intention, the first terminal device may no longer output the inquiry prompt message to inquire the user when it detects that the number of times the inquiry prompt message is output within a preset time period reaches a preset number of times, but instead directly determines whether the first application has permission to use the first hardware based on the permission configuration information.

[0076] For example, after detecting the restart, the first terminal device can output the inquiry prompt message, that is, when the number of times the first terminal device is asked whether to use the first hardware reaches 3 times, it will no longer ask the user to output the inquiry prompt message, but directly determine whether it has the permission to use based on the permission configuration information.

[0077] In the hardware usage method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first terminal device can stop asking the user when it detects that the number of times a certain inquiry prompt message is outputted reaches a preset number of times within a preset time period, for example, when it reaches 3 times. Compared with not asking the user again when it reaches 1 time, it can avoid the situation where the user's intention is incorrectly received due to the user's accidental touch. At the same time, when the preset number of times is reached, the user will no longer be asked, but whether the corresponding use permission is directly determined based on the permission configuration information, which can avoid excessively disturbing the user and improve the user's use experience.

[0078] In one embodiment, a second application developed based on the first operating system is also installed on the first terminal device. Exemplarily, when the first terminal device is in a split-screen state, the first application and the second application are both running in the foreground of the first terminal device, and the first terminal device simultaneously receives request messages from the first application and the second application requesting to use the first hardware, and determines that both the first application and the second application have permission to use the first hardware, the first terminal device may, based on the following example, Figure 3 The steps shown determine the allocation of the first hardware:

[0079] In step 301, the application program at which the touch point on the screen of the first terminal device is located is determined.

[0080] The touch point is formed by the user's finger touching the screen.

[0081] In step 302, when it is determined that the application where the touch point is located is the first application, the first hardware is allocated to the first application.

[0082] In step 303, when it is determined that the application where the touch point is located is the second application, the first hardware is allocated to the second application.

[0083] In the hardware use method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first terminal device simultaneously receives use requests for the same hardware from two applications developed based on different operating systems, the first terminal device can determine the allocation of the first hardware based on the position of the touch point on the screen. This prevents conflicts when applications developed based on different operating systems simultaneously request to use the first hardware, and enables the applications developed based on different operating systems to collaborate.

[0084] In one embodiment, the first terminal device and the second terminal device may be connected via Bluetooth or WiFi (Wireless Fidelity). The second terminal device also has the first hardware, which includes a screen and / or a speaker.

[0085] For example, the first terminal device is a smartphone, the second terminal device is a smart TV, and the first hardware is a speaker. When the smartphone is playing music and receives a request message from a video application to use the speaker, since the speaker of the current smartphone is busy, the speaker of the smart TV connected to the smartphone can be assigned to the video application. In other words, the smartphone can send the corresponding audio resource to the smart TV through the connection established with the smart TV, so that the speaker of the smart TV plays the audio resource.

[0086] Exemplarily, take the first terminal device as a smartphone, the second terminal device as a tablet computer, and the first hardware as a screen. When the smartphone is playing a TV series and receives a request message from a video application to use the screen, since the current smartphone screen is busy, the screen of the tablet computer connected to the smartphone can be allocated to the video application. Similar to the above, the smartphone can send the corresponding video resource to the tablet computer through the connection established with the tablet computer, so that the tablet computer screen plays the video resource.

[0087] It should be noted that the above description is based on the example that the terminal device is a smart phone, a smart TV, or a tablet computer, and the first hardware is a screen or a speaker. In actual applications, the terminal device may also be other devices, and the first hardware may also be other hardware, which can be set by relevant staff based on actual conditions, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0088] In the hardware usage method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the introduced multiplexing mechanism, the first terminal device can determine whether there is a second terminal device connected to the first terminal device when receiving a request message sent by the first application to request the use of the first hardware and determining that the first hardware of the first terminal device is currently busy. When it is determined that there is, and the second terminal device also has the first hardware, the first hardware of the second terminal device is allocated to the first application. In other words, in the hardware usage method of this example, the hardware resources on other terminal devices can be managed by the first terminal device, which is highly practical.

[0089] For the aforementioned method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity of description, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should know that the present disclosure is not limited by the described order of actions, because according to the present disclosure, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously.
