A method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for switching application interfaces.

Abstract

This application provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for switching application interfaces, creating a persistent image carrier. The persistent image carrier has a corresponding persistent display controller and a corresponding carrier layer on the screen of the terminal device. A first application interface is displayed on the screen via the persistent display controller. When it is necessary to switch from the first application interface to a second application interface, the carrier layer is raised to the upper layer of the first application interface, and a preset animation is played on the screen via the persistent image carrier. The first application interface is then switched to the second application interface. The second application interface is then displayed on the screen via the persistent display controller. This application provides a smoother and more visually appealing experience for users when switching applications without integrating multiple applications into one, avoiding modifications to the operating system source code and minimizing the impact on operating system security.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicles, the technical field of operating systems, and the technical field of computers, and in particular relates to an application interface switching method and device, an electronic device, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In an Android (an operating system) vehicle project, a one-shot-to-end animation effect for switching between applications is an important requirement. For example, a 3D vehicle model image is displayed in both a Launcher (a desktop launcher of the Android system) desktop and a 360 ring shadow parking application, and when the applications are switched, it is expected that a Kanzi (a 3D human-computer interaction solution), a Unity (a cross-platform development engine), a Cocos (a series of development frameworks and tools), or even a common video player plays an animation to show a cool and smooth one-shot-to-end switching effect. The traditional application switching effect may first display a black background when the Android picture is not loaded, or first display a start page of the application, and then display the vehicle model image, so that the transition picture switching is very abrupt and the visual experience is not smooth.

[0003] In the related art, a page requiring a one-shot-to-end switching effect is generally integrated into an application, and a SurfaceView (an image picture, a carrier for drawing a Surface in an application) is used as an application background. A 3D picture is drawn or a switching animation is played on the SurfaceView. However, due to business relations or code maintenance considerations, many times, multiple applications cannot be integrated into one application to realize the one-shot-to-end switching effect.

[0004] Therefore, how to realize a more smooth and cool visual experience for a user when switching between applications without integrating multiple applications into one application is an urgent problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0005] Embodiments of the present application provide an application interface switching method and device, an electronic device, and a storage medium, to solve the problem of how to realize a more smooth and cool visual experience for a user when switching between applications without integrating multiple applications into one application.

[0025] In order to make the above objectives, characteristics and advantages of the application more apparent, comprehensible and easier to understand, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 The step flow diagram of the application interface switching method embodiment of the application includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 101, a resident image carrier is created; the resident image carrier has a corresponding resident display controller, and the resident image carrier has a corresponding carrier level on the screen of the terminal device.

[0028] The application interface switching method shown in the embodiment of the application can be applied to a vehicle-mounted Android operating system. In the embodiment of the application, the application interface switching method can be applied to an interface display service of the Android system. In an embodiment, a Java service can be provided on the vehicle-mounted Android operating system as the interface display service to execute the application interface switching method.

[0029] In step 101, a resident image carrier (Surface) and a corresponding resident display controller (SurfaceControl) can be created in the interface display service, and the resident image carrier has a corresponding carrier level on the screen of the terminal device, that is, a level of displaying images on the resident image carrier on the screen.

[0030] Referring to Figure 2 The resident image carrier schematic diagram of the application interface switching method embodiment of the application.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, a resident Surface and a corresponding SurfaceControl are created in a Java service. Figure 2

[0032] Step 102, displaying a first application interface on the screen by the resident display controller.

[0033] In step 102, the first application interface is displayed on the screen by the resident display controller. In an embodiment, the interface display service has a corresponding image data provider, which can draw the display content of the first application interface by the resident image carrier.

[0034] Step 103, in case of switching the first application interface to a second application interface, raising the carrier level of the resident image carrier to the upper layer of the first application interface and playing a preset animation on the screen by the resident image carrier.

[0035] In step 103, when the user needs to switch the first application to the second application, i.e. needs to switch the first application interface to the second application interface, the carrier level of the resident image carrier is raised to the upper layer of the first application interface and a preset animation is played on the screen by the resident image carrier to cover the application switching action below the resident image carrier.

[0036] In an embodiment, a command can be sent to the Java service through Binder (an inter-process communication mechanism in Android system), and after receiving the command information, the Java service raises the carrier level to the upper layer of the first application interface and plays a preset animation on the screen by the resident image carrier.

[0037] Step 104, switching the first application interface to the second application interface.

[0038] In step 104, while the preset animation is played on the screen by the resident image carrier, the first application interface is switched to the second application interface under the cover of the resident image carrier.

[0039] Step 105, displaying the second application interface on the screen by the resident display controller.

[0040] In step 105, the second application interface after switching is displayed on the screen by the resident display controller. In an embodiment, the interface display service has a corresponding image data provider, which can draw the display content of the second application interface by the resident image carrier.

[0041] Referring to Figure 3 ​FIG. 1 is an application switching schematic diagram of an application interface switching method embodiment of the present application.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1, when the first application interface needs to be switched to the second application interface, the carrier level of the resident image carrier (3D Surface) is raised to the upper layer of the first application interface, and a preset animation is played on the screen through the resident image carrier to cover the original application switching animation (Original Animation) under the resident image carrier. Figure 3

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the resident image carrier is created; the resident image carrier has a corresponding resident display controller, and the resident image carrier has a corresponding carrier level on the screen of the terminal device; the first application interface is displayed on the screen through the resident display controller; in the case where the first application interface needs to be switched to the second application interface, the carrier level is raised to the upper layer of the first application interface, and a preset animation is played on the screen through the resident image carrier; the first application interface is switched to the second application interface; the second application interface is displayed on the screen through the resident display controller. The embodiment of the present application realizes a more smooth and cool visual experience for users when switching applications without integrating multiple applications into one application. The embodiment of the present application also avoids the modification of the operating system source code, realizes the one-shot effect of the application switching animation through the background interface display service, and has less impact on the safety of the operating system. The 3D vehicle model picture that needs to be displayed by each application can be enabled by the interface display service, which is simple to implement. If the same 3D resource file needs to be displayed in different applications, the interface display service only needs to load one 3D resource file, without the need to integrate each application separately, thereby reducing the memory occupation. The embodiment of the present application only needs to render one resident image carrier, and the consumption of the central processing unit and the graphics processing unit is low.

[0044] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method comprises:

[0045] creating a first image picture in the first application, wherein the first image picture comprises the first application interface;

[0046] using the interface of the first image picture, obtaining a first display controller corresponding to the first image picture;

[0047] receiving the first display controller transmitted by the first application.

[0048] In the embodiment, the SurfaceView (image picture) needs to be prefabricated in the application that has the one-shot switching demand.

[0049] ​For the first application, a first image surface (SurfaceView1) is created in the first application, and the first image surface includes a first application interface to be displayed. When the application process of the first application is started to the foreground display, the first application can use the public interface of the first image surface to obtain a first display controller (SurfaceControl1) corresponding to the first image surface, and communicate with the interface display service through the Binder mechanism, and pass the first display controller to the interface display service.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application creates a first image surface for the first application, and passes a corresponding first display controller to the interface display service, so as to display the first application interface on the screen of the terminal device through the resident display controller.

[0051] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the resident display controller has a corresponding parent level, and the step 102 comprises:

[0052] resetting the parent level of the resident display controller to the first display controller;

[0053] displaying the first image surface corresponding to the first display controller on the screen.

[0054] In the embodiment, when the first application interface needs to be displayed on the screen of the terminal device, the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service is reset to the first display controller of the first application by using the original public method of SurfaceControl, so as to display the first image surface corresponding to the first display controller on the screen. That is, by changing the parent level of the resident display controller to the first display controller of the first application, the first application interface is displayed on the screen.

[0055] Referring to Figure 4 is a first application interface display diagram of an application interface switching method embodiment of the present application.

[0056] As Figure 4 shown, a first image surface (SurfaceView1) is created in the first application, and the first image surface includes a first application interface to be displayed. The first image surface also has a corresponding first display controller (SurfaceControl1), and the first application can pass the first display controller to the interface display service through the Binder mechanism.

[0057] Referring to Figure 5 is an application interface display diagram of an application interface switching method embodiment of the present application.

[0058] As Figure 5When the application process of the first application is started to the foreground display, the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service is reparented to the first display controller of the first application, so that the first image picture corresponding to the first display controller is displayed on the screen through a surface flinger.

[0059] The embodiment of the present application only needs to reset the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service to the first display controller of the first application when the first application interface needs to be displayed, and does not need to create a new image carrier, so the consumption of the central processor and the graphic processor is low.

[0060] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method comprises:

[0061] A second image picture is created in the second application, and the second image picture comprises the second application interface;

[0062] An interface of the second image picture is used to obtain a second display controller corresponding to the second image picture;

[0063] The second display controller transmitted by the second application is received.

[0064] In the embodiment, a SurfaceView (image picture) needs to be prefabricated in an application that has a mirror-to-bottom switching demand.

[0065] For the second application, a second image picture (SurfaceView2) is created in the second application, and the second image picture comprises the second application interface that needs to be displayed. When the application process of the second application is started to the foreground display, the second application can use the public interface of the second image picture to obtain a second display controller (SurfaceControl2) corresponding to the second image picture, and communicate with the interface display service through a Binder mechanism, and transmit the second display controller to the interface display service.

[0066] The embodiment of the present application creates a second image picture for the second application, and transmits a corresponding second display controller to the interface display service, so that the second application interface is displayed on the screen of the terminal device through the resident display controller.

[0067] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the resident display controller has a corresponding parent level, and the step 105 comprises:

[0068] The parent level of the resident display controller is reset to the second display controller;

[0069] The second image picture corresponding to the second display controller is displayed on the screen.

[0070] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to display the second application interface on the screen of the terminal device, the native public method of SurfaceControl is used to reset the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service to the second display controller of the second application, so as to display the second image screen corresponding to the second display controller on the screen. That is, by changing the parent level of the resident display controller to the second display controller of the second application, the second application interface is displayed on the screen.

[0071] Reference Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of different application interfaces in an embodiment of the application interface switching method of this application.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, a SurfaceView needs to be pre-built in the application that requires a one-shot transition. When a one-shot transition is required between the first application and the second application, a first image screen (SurfaceView1) can be created in the first application, and a second image screen (SurfaceView2) can be created in the second application.

[0073] Reference Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the second application interface display according to an embodiment of the application interface switching method of this application.

[0074] like Figure 7 As shown, when the first application interface successfully switches to the second application interface, a second image screen (SurfaceView2) is created in the second application. The second image screen includes the second application interface to be displayed, and also has a corresponding second display controller (SurfaceControl2). The second application can pass the second display controller to the interface display service through the Binder mechanism. When the application process of the second application starts to be displayed in the foreground, the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service is reset to the second display controller of the second application, so that the second image screen corresponding to the second display controller can be displayed on the screen through the surface compositer.

[0075] In this embodiment of the application, when it is necessary to display the second application interface, it is only necessary to reset the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service to the second display controller of the second application, without creating a new image carrier, and the consumption of the central processing unit and graphics processor is low.

[0076] In one optional embodiment of this application, the screen includes system interface elements, each system interface element having a corresponding display area node, and the method further includes:

[0077] in a case where the first application interface needs to be switched to the second application interface, changing the parent level of the resident display controller to the display area node;

[0078] displaying the system interface element corresponding to the display area node on the screen.

[0079] In this embodiment, when switching the application interface, the parent level of the resident display controller is changed to the display area node of the screen, and the display area node corresponds to the system interface element, such as the navigation bar, the status bar interface, and the like of Android. When the carrier level of the resident image carrier of the interface display service is raised, the system interface element, such as the navigation bar, the status bar interface, and the like of Android, is not blocked, but the system interface element corresponding to the display area node is normally displayed on the screen.

[0080] In this embodiment, when switching the application interface, the parent level of the resident display controller is changed to the display area node of the screen, thereby avoiding the preset animation from blocking the system interface element.

[0081] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the interface display service has a corresponding image data provider, and the method further includes:

[0082] providing the resident image carrier to the image data provider;

[0083] displaying the system interface drawn by the image data provider through the resident image carrier.

[0084] In this embodiment, the interface display service can provide the resident image carrier to the image data provider, so that the image data provider can draw the system interface to be displayed through the resident image carrier, and display the system interface drawn by the image data provider through the resident image carrier on the screen.

[0085] For example, the first image picture corresponding to the first application can be drawn by the image data provider through the resident image carrier after the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service is reset to the first display controller of the first application, so as to display the first application interface on the screen. For another example, the second image picture corresponding to the second application can be drawn by the image data provider through the resident image carrier after the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service is reset to the second display controller of the second application, so as to display the second application interface on the screen.

[0086] The embodiment of the present application can use the image data provider to display the system interface drawn by the image data provider on the screen, thereby realizing the playing of the preset animation when switching the application.

[0087] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the step 103 comprises:

[0088] The image data provider is controlled to play the preset animation on the screen through the resident image carrier.

[0089] In the embodiment, when the application interface is switched, the interface display service can inform the image data provider to play the preset animation, so that the image data provider plays the preset animation on the screen through the resident image carrier. In an embodiment, the preset animation can be a smooth one-shot-to-end switching animation.

[0090] The embodiment of the present application informs the image data provider to play the preset animation when the application interface is switched, so as to realize the one-shot-to-end effect of the application switching animation and improve the user experience.

[0091] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the step of providing the resident image carrier to the image data provider comprises:

[0092] The resident image carrier is provided to the image data provider through a software development kit.

[0093] Reference Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the software development kit for providing the resident image carrier in an embodiment of the application interface switching method.

[0094] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 , the interface display service can provide the resident image carrier to the image data provider through a software development kit (SDK).

[0095] The embodiment of the present application can display the system interface drawn by the image data provider on the screen by using the image data provider, so as to realize the playing of the preset animation when the application is switched.

[0096] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the interface display service is applied to an Android operating system, the Android operating system comprises a surface compositor, and the method comprises: displaying the image picture corresponding to the resident display controller on the screen through the surface compositor.

[0097] The surface compositor (SurfaceFlinger) is a key component in the Android system, which is responsible for managing and compositing all application surfaces and outputting the final composite image to the display device. In the embodiment, since there is only one resident image carrier (Surface), it is only necessary to display the image picture currently corresponding to the resident display controller on the screen through the surface compositor.

[0098] The embodiment of the application only needs to display an image picture corresponding to a current resident display controller of a resident image carrier through a surface compositor, and the consumption of the central processor and the graphic processor is low.

[0099] In the embodiment of the application, a resident image carrier is created; the resident image carrier has a corresponding resident display controller, and the resident image carrier has a corresponding carrier level on the screen of the terminal device; a first application interface is displayed on the screen through the resident display controller; in the case where the first application interface needs to be switched to a second application interface, the carrier level is improved to the upper layer of the first application interface, and a preset animation is played on the screen through the resident image carrier; the first application interface is switched to the second application interface; and the second application interface is displayed on the screen through the resident display controller. The embodiment of the application realizes a more smooth and cool visual experience for a user when switching applications without integrating multiple applications into one application. The embodiment of the application also avoids the modification of the source code of the operating system, realizes the one-shot effect of the application switching animation through the background interface display service, and has a small influence on the safety of the operating system. The 3D vehicle model picture that needs to be displayed by each application can be enabled by the interface display service, and the implementation is simple. If the same 3D resource file needs to be displayed in different applications, the interface display service only needs to load one 3D resource file, and does not need to be integrated in each application, thereby reducing the memory occupation. The embodiment of the application only needs to render one resident image carrier, and the consumption of the central processor and the graphic processor is low.

[0100] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order for those skilled in the art to better understand the application embodiment of the application interface switching method, the application embodiment of the application interface switching method will be described in detail below.

[0101] Referring to Figure 9 , the system structure diagram of the application embodiment of the application interface switching method is shown.

[0102] As Figure 9 indicated, the Android system can include a Java service (that is, an interface display service), a SurfaceFlinger (surface compositor), an image data provider, a first application, and a second application.

[0103] A resident Surface and corresponding SurfaceControl are created in the interface display service, and the resident Surface is provided to the image data provider through the SDK. A first image SurfaceView1 is created in the first application, the first image SurfaceView1 includes the first application interface to be displayed, and the first image SurfaceView1 has a corresponding first SurfaceControl1, which is transmitted to the interface display service by the first application through the Binder mechanism. A second image SurfaceView2 is created in the second application, the second image SurfaceView2 includes the second application interface to be displayed, and the second image SurfaceView2 has a corresponding second SurfaceControl2, which is transmitted to the interface display service by the second application through the Binder mechanism.

[0104] When the first application interface or the second application interface needs to be displayed on the screen, the parent level of the resident SurfaceControl of the interface display service is reparented to the first SurfaceControl of the first application, so that the first image SurfaceView corresponding to the first SurfaceControl is displayed on the screen by the SurfaceFlinger; or the parent level of the resident SurfaceControl of the interface display service is reparented to the second SurfaceControl of the second application, so that the second image SurfaceView corresponding to the second SurfaceControl is displayed on the screen by the SurfaceFlinger.

[0105] Refer to Figure 10 FIG. 1 is a system architecture diagram of an application interface switching method embodiment of the present application.

[0106] As Figure 10 shown, the Java service (i.e., the interface display service) and the interactive business (such as the SDK, Applications, and the like, where the Applications include application programs such as the first application and the second application) are implemented in the Android application layer, without the need to modify any code of the Android system AOSP (Android Open Source Project, Android operating system open source project), and the SurfaceFlinger is part of the code of the AOSP.

[0107] Refer to Figure 11 FIG. 2 is a logic flow diagram of an application interface switching method embodiment of the present application.

[0108] As Figure 11As shown, the user starts up, and the Android SystemServer (system service manager) pulls up the Java service (i.e. the interface display service). A resident image carrier (Surface) is created in the interface display service, and a corresponding resident display controller (SurfaceControl) is provided, and the resident image carrier is provided to the image data provider for rendering.

[0109] When the user starts up the Android application 1 (i.e. the first application), a first image picture (SurfaceView1) is created in the first application, the first image picture includes the first application interface to be displayed, and the first image picture also has a corresponding first display controller (SurfaceControl1), which can be passed to the interface display service, and the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service is reset to the first display controller of the first application, so as to display the first image picture corresponding to the first display controller on the screen through the surface compositor.

[0110] When the user continues to start up the Android application 2 (i.e. the second application), the switching of the first application interface to the second application interface is triggered, and the interface display service is notified to trigger the "one shot to the bottom" switching effect. The interface display service raises the carrier level of the resident image carrier above the first application interface, and notifies the image data provider to play a preset animation to cover the application switching action below the resident image carrier.

[0111] At the same time, a second image picture (SurfaceView2) is created in the second application, the second image picture includes the second application interface to be displayed, and the second image picture also has a corresponding second display controller (SurfaceControl2), which can be passed to the interface display service. When the application process of the second application starts to display in the foreground, the parent level of the resident display controller of the interface display service is reset to the second display controller of the second application, so as to display the second image picture corresponding to the second display controller on the screen through the surface compositor.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, a resident image carrier is created; the resident image carrier has a corresponding resident display controller, and the resident image carrier has a corresponding carrier level on the screen of the terminal device; a first application interface is displayed on the screen through the resident display controller; in the case where the first application interface needs to be switched to a second application interface, the carrier level is raised to the upper layer of the first application interface, and a preset animation is played on the screen through the resident image carrier; the first application interface is switched to the second application interface; and the second application interface is displayed on the screen through the resident display controller. The embodiment of the present application realizes a more smooth and cool visual experience for users when switching applications without integrating multiple applications into one application. The embodiment of the present application also avoids modification of the operating system source code, realizes the one-shot effect of application switching animation through the background interface display service, and has less impact on the safety of the operating system. The 3D vehicle model picture that needs to be displayed by each application can be enabled by the interface display service, and the implementation is simple. If the same 3D resource file needs to be displayed in different applications, only one 3D resource file needs to be loaded by the interface display service, and there is no need to integrate each application separately, thereby reducing the memory occupation. The embodiment of the present application only needs to render one resident image carrier, and the consumption of the central processing unit and the graphics processing unit is low.

[0113] It should be noted that, for the method embodiments, in order to simply describe, they are all described as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the action sequence described, because according to the embodiments of the present application, certain steps can be performed in other sequences or at the same time. Secondly, those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described in the specification all belong to preferred embodiments, and the actions involved are not necessarily required by the embodiments of the present application.

[0114] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the present embodiment further provides a switching device of an application interface, which is applied to electronic devices such as terminal devices and servers.

[0115] Reference Figure 12 , a structural block diagram of an embodiment of a switching device of an application interface of the present application is shown, which can specifically include the following modules:
