Dial plate starting method and device and storage medium

Abstract

The invention provides a dial plate starting method and device and a storage medium, and relates to the technical field of terminals. The method can be applied to the electronic equipment with a display function, the electronic equipment is started or restarted for the first time after system upgrading is completed, and the electronic equipment initializes system services and necessary application programs, such as initialization of communication services and a dial plate. When the dial plate is initialized, the dial plate accesses the communication service to obtain default dial plate information. And after the initialization of the communication service is completed, the dial plate accesses the communication service again so as to update the default dial plate information. When the communication service is accessed again, the initialization of the communication service is completed, and the default dial plate information acquired by the dial plate is accurate, so that the condition that the equipment pops up a prompt for setting the default dial plate when the user uses the dial plate for the first time after the system is upgraded can be avoided.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a method, device and storage medium for starting a dial pad. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of terminal technology, terminal devices can install various types of applications to provide users with different services. Phone applications are commonly used applications in smart phones and provide users with voice call services.

[0003] The dial pad is the main entry point for users to conduct voice communications. Users can use the dial pad preset in the mobile phone system to input phone numbers and make calls. The phone application and the dial pad work together to enable users to make and receive calls conveniently.

[0004] When the mobile phone is turned on or restarted for the first time after the system is upgraded, there is the following problem: in response to the user clicking the phone application icon on the desktop, the mobile phone displays an interface for setting the default dial pad, such as Figure 3 In the interface 106 shown, the user cannot directly use or call the dial pad, which affects the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, device and storage medium for starting a dial pad, which can prevent the device from popping up a prompt for setting a default dial pad when the user calls the dial pad for the first time after a system upgrade.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes a method for starting a dial pad, which can be applied to an electronic device with a display function, and the method includes: after the electronic device system is upgraded, the electronic device is turned on or restarted for the first time, and the electronic device executes an initialization process; after the initialization process is completed, the electronic device obtains and records first information through a first dial pad, and the first information is used to indicate that the first dial pad is a default dial pad; in response to the operation of starting the first dial pad, the electronic device displays a first interface, and the first interface includes the first dial pad.

[0007] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is turned on or restarted, the electronic device performs an initialization process, which includes starting various system services (e.g., communication services), registering system services with a service manager, starting some necessary applications (e.g., phone applications and dial pads, etc.), etc.

[0008] In some embodiments, the electronic device starts a phone application, and the phone application can pull up the first dial pad. Figure 5 As shown, after the phone application is started, a first message is sent to the first dial pad to pull up the first dial pad. Pulling up the first dial pad can be understood as initializing the first dial pad.

[0009] The first dial pad may be a dial pad preset in the electronic device system, or a third-party dial pad. The first information may also be described as default dial pad information.

[0010] In some embodiments, the operation of activating the first dial pad may be an operation of a user clicking a phone application icon. Figure 3 As shown, in response to the user clicking on the icon 1011 of the interface 101 , the electronic device displays the first interface 104 , and the first interface 104 includes a first dial pad 1041 .

[0011] In other embodiments, the operation of starting the first dial pad may be an operation in which the user clicks on a dial pad icon, for example, Figure 1 As shown, in response to the user clicking the icon 1021 of the interface 102 , the electronic device displays the first interface 103 , and the first interface 103 includes a first dial pad 1031 .

[0012] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, when the electronic device is turned on or restarted for the first time after the system is upgraded, the electronic device executes an initialization process, and the initialization process includes updating the system service and initializing the first dial pad. When initializing the first dial pad, it is necessary to access the communication service to obtain the default dial pad information. However, due to the system upgrade, the time for the electronic device to update the system service is longer than usual. When the first dial pad accesses the communication service, the communication service is not ready (initialization is not completed), resulting in the first dial pad recording wrong information (such as the first dial pad is not the default dial pad). Therefore, it is designed that after the initialization process is completed (the communication service initialization is completed), the first dial pad of the electronic device obtains and records the first information again, and the first information is accurate information provided by the communication service. In this way, when the first dial pad is started, the electronic device can display the first dial pad normally, which can avoid the device popping up a prompt to set the default dial pad, which affects the user experience.

[0013] In an optional embodiment of the first aspect, the electronic device includes a communication service. When the electronic device is powered on or restarted for the first time after the system is upgraded, the electronic device obtains and records the first information through the first dial, including: when the electronic device is powered on or restarted for the first time after the system is upgraded, the electronic device initializes the first dial and the communication service; after the communication service is initialized, the first dial obtains the first information from the communication service; the first dial records the first information in the memory of the electronic device.

[0014] In this embodiment, the first dial obtains the first information from the communication service, including: the first dial initiates a request to the communication service to obtain the first information; or the communication service sends the first information to the first dial.

[0015] In some embodiments, the communication service is located in the system service layer of the electronic device, and the communication service may correspond to Figure 4 TeleComService shown.

[0016] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, in order to prevent the first dial pad from recording erroneous information during initialization, it is designed that after the communication service initialization is completed, the first dial pad again obtains the default dial pad information from the communication service, and the default dial pad information obtained again is accurate.

[0017] In an optional embodiment of the first aspect, after the communication service is initialized, the first dial obtains the first information from the communication service, including: after the communication service is initialized, the communication service sends a notification message to the first dial, and the notification message includes the first information. Figure 6 S601 of the embodiment.

[0018] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, it is designed that after the communication service initialization is completed, the communication service actively sends a notification message to the first dial pad, so that the first dial pad updates the default dial pad information based on the notification message. The default dial pad information sent by the communication service is accurate.

[0019] In an optional embodiment of the first aspect, after the communication service is initialized, the first dial obtains the first information from the communication service, including: after the communication service is initialized, the first dial sends a first query request to the communication service, the first query request is used to query the information of the default dial; the electronic service responds to the first query request and sends a first query response to the first dial, the first query response includes the first information. Figure 7 Embodiments S701 to S702.

[0020] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, it is designed that after the communication service is initialized, regardless of whether the first dial pad obtains the default dial pad information from the communication service during initialization, the first dial pad will access the communication service again (such as sending a first query request) to obtain accurate default dial pad information.

[0021] In an optional embodiment of the first aspect, the first dial pad sends the first query request to the communication service, including: at a first time, the first dial pad sends the first query request to the communication service. The first time includes at least one of the following: when the electronic device unlocks the screen for the first time; when the electronic device starts the first dial pad for the first time.

[0022] In one example, after the electronic device system is upgraded and after it is powered on or restarted for the first time, in response to the operation of unlocking the screen for the first time, the electronic device sends a first query request to the communication service through the first dial pad.

[0023] In one example, after the electronic device system is upgraded and it is powered on or restarted for the first time, in response to the first click of a phone application icon, the electronic device activates a first dial pad and sends a first query request to a communication service through the first dial pad.

[0024] In an optional embodiment of the first aspect, the electronic device further includes a telephone application and a communication management module, and the electronic device initializes the first dial pad, including: the electronic device initializes the telephone application; the telephone application sends a first message to the first dial pad, and the first message is used to pull up the first dial pad; the first dial pad responds to the first message and sends a second query request to the communication service through the communication management module, and the second query request is used to query the information of the default dial pad; the communication management module sends a second query response to the first dial pad, and the second query response does not indicate the information of the default dial pad; the first dial pad records second information in the memory based on the second query response, and the second information is used to indicate that the first dial pad is not the default dial pad. Please refer to Figure 6 Embodiments S501 to S505.

[0025] In some embodiments, the communication management module is located in the application framework layer of the electronic device, and the communication management module may correspond to Figure 4 The TeleComManager shown.

[0026] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, during the initialization process of the first dial pad, the communication service can be accessed through the communication management module to obtain the information of the default dial pad. Since the communication service is not initialized, the first dial pad records in the memory that the first dial pad is not the default dial pad based on the response returned by the communication management module.

[0027] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising a processor and a memory, the memory being used to store computer-executable instructions, and the processor being used to run the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory to execute the method described in the first aspect or any optional embodiment of the first aspect.

[0028] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, in which a computer program or instructions are stored. When the computer program or instructions are executed on a computer, the computer executes the method described in the first aspect or any optional embodiment of the first aspect.

[0029] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer program product, which includes a computer program. When the computer program is executed, the computer executes the method described in the first aspect or any optional embodiment of the first aspect.

[0030] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a chip or a chip system, the chip or chip system includes at least one processor and a communication interface, the communication interface and the at least one processor are interconnected by a line, and the at least one processor is used to run a computer program or instruction to execute the method described in the first aspect or any optional embodiment of the first aspect.

[0043] In order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, some terms and technologies involved in the embodiments of the present application are briefly introduced below:

[0044] 1. OTA (over-the-air) is a technology that remotely upgrades terminal devices through wireless networks (such as 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, etc.). Taking the terminal device as a mobile phone as an example, through OTA upgrade, the performance of the mobile phone system can be optimized, security vulnerabilities can be fixed, and new functions can be pushed to users.

[0045] 2. Other terms

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with substantially the same functions and effects. For example, the first query request and the second query request are only used to distinguish different query requests, and their order is not limited. Those skilled in the art can understand that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit them to be different.

[0047] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: the existence of A alone, the existence of A and B at the same time, and the existence of B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, ab, a--c, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0049] 3. Electronic devices

[0050] The electronic device of the embodiment of the present application may include a handheld device with a display function, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. For example, some electronic devices include: mobile phones, tablet computers, PDAs, laptop computers, mobile internet devices (MID), virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, cellular phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld devices with wireless communication functions, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, vehicle-mounted devices, terminal devices in 5G networks, or terminal devices in future evolved public land mobile communication networks (PLMNs), etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0051] As an example but not limitation, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may also be a wearable device. Wearable devices may also be called wearable smart devices, which are a general term for wearable devices that use wearable technology to intelligently design and develop wearable devices for daily wear, such as watches. Wearable devices are portable devices that are worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. Wearable devices are not just hardware devices, but also powerful functions achieved through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction.

[0052] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may also be a terminal device in the Internet of Things (IoT) system. IoT is an important part of the future development of information technology. Its main technical feature is to connect objects to the network through communication technology, thereby realizing an intelligent network that interconnects people and machines and things.

[0053] The electronic device in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as: terminal equipment, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication equipment, user agent or user device, etc.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device or each network device includes a hardware layer, an operating system layer running on the hardware layer, and an application layer running on the operating system layer. The hardware layer includes hardware such as a central processing unit (CPU), a memory management unit (MMU), and a memory (also called main memory). The operating system can be any one or more computer operating systems that implement business processing through processes, such as a Linux operating system, a Unix operating system, an Android operating system, an iOS operating system, or a Windows operating system. The application layer includes applications such as browsers, address books, word processing software, and instant messaging software.

[0055] Before introducing the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the application scenario of the technical solution provided by the present application is first introduced. For the convenience of understanding, the following description is made by taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example.

[0056] Figure 1 An interface change diagram provided for an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The interface 101 shown includes icons of various applications, such as a clock, a calendar, a gallery, a memo, etc. In response to clicking on the icon 1011 of the phone application on the interface 101, the mobile phone displays the interface 102, which may include a dial pad control 1021. In response to clicking on the dial pad control 1021 on the interface 102, the mobile phone displays the interface 103, which displays a dial pad 1031. The user can enter a phone number on the dial pad 1031 to make a call.

[0057] Figure 1 In the example shown, the user needs to click the phone application icon and then call up the dial pad on the interface provided by the phone application to enter the phone number. The user needs to perform two steps.

[0058] Figure 2 Another interface change diagram provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1The difference is that in response to the operation of clicking the icon 1011 of the phone application on the interface 101, the mobile phone displays the interface 104, and the interface 104 includes a dial pad 1041. The user can enter a phone number on the dial pad 1041 to make a call. In addition, in response to the operation of clicking the control 1042 on the dial pad 1041 for retracting the dial pad, the mobile phone displays the interface 105, and the interface 105 displays the historical call records.

[0059] Figure 2 In the example shown, after the user clicks the phone application icon, the dial pad is directly displayed on the interface provided by the phone application. Figure 1 The example shown makes it easier for users to enter phone numbers.

[0060] However, there is a scenario where, after a mobile phone system upgrade (i.e., OTA upgrade), after the first startup or restart, the user clicks the phone application icon on the desktop, and the phone prompts the user to set a default dial pad.

[0061] Figure 3 Another interface change diagram provided in the embodiment of the present application. After the mobile phone system is upgraded, after the first startup or restart, such as Figure 3 As shown, in response to clicking the phone application icon 1011 on the interface 101, the mobile phone displays the interface 106, which may include a control 1061 for setting the default dial pad. The user can manually set the default dial pad through the interface 106. In this scenario, the mobile phone does not follow Figure 1 or Figure 2 The example shown shows a dial pad, which prevents the user from making a call directly using the dial pad, thus affecting the user experience.

[0062] It should be noted that, in addition to the above scenarios, the user may also be prompted to set a default dial pad in other scenarios, such as dial pad component update (dial pad version upgrade), etc.

[0063] In the right Figure 3 Before explaining the internal execution process of the mobile phone, the software architecture of the mobile phone is first introduced.

[0064] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the software architecture of the mobile phone provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the software architecture of the mobile phone includes from top to bottom: application layer, application framework layer, and system service layer.

[0065] The application layer may include a series of application packages, such as camera, gallery, calendar, map, navigation, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, the application layer includes a phone application and a dial pad. The phone application is mainly responsible for processing functions related to communication, including, for example, making calls, answering calls, call forwarding, call restriction, etc. The dial pad provides a dialing interface (such as Figure 1 In the interface 103 shown in the figure, the user enters the phone number by touching in the dialing interface to trigger the device to make a call. The dial pad can be a system preset dial pad, or a third-party dial pad downloaded by the user through the application market. In some examples, the user can set the system preset dial pad (such as Google® dial pad) or the third-party dial pad as the default dial pad.

[0066] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications in the application layer. The application framework layer may include some predefined functions. In the embodiment of the present application, the application framework layer includes TeleComManager (communication management module). TeleComManager is an interface class provided by the mobile phone, which can provide a series of functions related to telephone communication, such as querying the default dial pad, querying the call status, sending call requests, etc. Both the telephone application and the dial pad can call the TeleComService (communication service) of the system service layer through TeleComManager.

[0067] The system service layer provides basic services and functions for upper layer applications. In the embodiment of the present application, the system service layer includes TeleComService. TeleComService is responsible for call management, phone number and contact management, audio management during calls, communication records and log management, dial pad management, etc.

[0068] Understandably, Figure 4 The modules included in each layer shown are the modules involved in the embodiments of the present application, and the modules included in each layer do not constitute a limitation on the structure of the electronic device and the level of module deployment.

[0069] In some embodiments, the electronic device may include more or fewer layers than shown in the figure, and each layer may include more or fewer components, which is not limited in this application.

[0070] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, a "module" may be a software program, a hardware circuit, or a combination of the two to implement the above functions. The hardware circuit may include an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), an electronic circuit, a processor (such as a shared processor, a dedicated processor, or a group processor, etc.) and a memory for executing one or more software or firmware programs, a combined logic circuit, and / or other suitable components that support the described functions.

[0071] Therefore, the modules of each example described in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented with electronic hardware, or a combination of computer software and electronic hardware. Whether these functions are performed in the form of hardware or software depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Professional and technical personnel can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to be beyond the scope of this application.

[0072] based on Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a method for starting a dial pad, which takes a first dial pad as an example. The first dial pad can be a system preset dial pad or a third-party dial pad. Whether the first dial pad can be started normally depends on whether the first dial pad is a default dial pad.

[0073] Combine the following Figure 5 The following describes the process of activating the dial pad.

[0074] Figure 5 A flowchart of a method for activating a dial pad provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to Figure 4 The electronic equipment shown, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0075] S501. After the system of the electronic device is upgraded, when the electronic device is powered on or restarted for the first time, the phone application is initialized.

[0076] Initializing the phone application includes but is not limited to system service registration and binding, database (storing contacts, call logs, etc.) initialization, checking whether the device is connected to the network, checking SIM (subscriber identity module) card information, sending voicemail-related broadcasts, etc. Broadcasts are used to notify other applications or system components. Exemplarily, the first message in S502 is a broadcast message used to pull up the first dial.

[0077] S502. The phone application sends a first message to the first dial pad, where the first message is used to pull up the first dial pad.

[0078] The phone application pulls up the first dial pad by sending the first message. Pulling up the first dial pad can be understood as initializing the first dial pad. Initializing the first dial pad refers to a series of settings and preparations for the dial pad when starting the phone application to ensure the stability and availability of the dialing function. Initializing the first dial pad includes checking the default dial pad, see S503 to S505 for details.

[0079] S503. The first dial pad sends a second query request to the TeleComManager in response to the first message, where the second query request is used to query the default dial pad.

[0080] S504. In response to the second query request, the TeleComManager sends a second query response to the first dial pad, and the second query response does not indicate a default dial pad.

[0081] Compared to a regular startup or restart, when the system is started or restarted for the first time after a system upgrade, it will take longer than usual to update and initialize the system services because the electronic device needs to update the system services.

[0082] TeleComService is one of the system services, there is a possibility that the initialization of the first dialer is before the initialization of TeleComService. Figure 5 The first dial pad calls TeleComService through TeleComManager to query the information of the default dial pad. Since TeleComService is not ready, TeleComManager returns a second query response to the first dial pad.

[0083] TeleComService is not ready, which can be understood as: TeleComService has not completed initialization, or TeleComService has not started initialization. The second query response does not indicate the default dial pad, which can be understood as: the second query response is empty (null), or the second query response does not include the package name of the default dial pad.

[0084] S505. In response to the second query response, the first dialer records the information of the default dialer in the memory.

[0085] The information of the default dial pad recorded in the first dial pad may be: the first dial pad is not the default dial pad, or the default dial pad is empty (the system does not set a default dial pad).

[0086] After the phone app and the first dialer perform the initialization process, it also includes:

[0087] S506. In response to the operation of starting the first dial, the first dial displays prompt information based on the memory record, where the prompt information is used to indicate setting a default dial.

[0088] The operation of launching the first dial pad may be an operation in which the user clicks a phone application icon. Figure 3 In response to clicking the icon 1011 of the phone application on the interface 101, the electronic device starts the first dial. After the first dial is started, the information of the default dial is read from the memory, and based on the information of the default dial, it is determined that the first dial is not the default dial. Subsequently, the first dial displays a prompt message to instruct the user to set the default dial. Figure 3 In response to clicking the icon 1011 of the phone application on the interface 101, the electronic device displays the interface 106, and the interface 106 prompts the user to set a default dial pad.

[0089] The dial pad startup method shown in the above embodiment is affected by the "initialization order of the first dial pad and TeleComService" and the "internal execution logic of the first dial pad". During the initialization process of the first dial pad, since TeleComService is not ready, the first dial pad records incorrect default dial pad information in the memory (for example, records that the dial pad is not the default dial pad), resulting in the user being unable to directly call the dial pad when using the phone application, and the user being unable to directly make a call, affecting the user experience.

[0090] against Figure 5 In order to solve the problem that the user cannot directly call the dial pad in the embodiment, the embodiment of the present application proposes an improved method for starting the dial pad. After the TeleComService is initialized, the TeleComService is configured to actively send a notification message to indicate the information of the default dial pad. In this way, when the first dial pad is started, the first dial pad can be displayed normally based on the notification message. Figure 6 The scheme is described in detail.

[0091] Figure 6 Another flow chart of the method for activating the dial provided in the embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to Figure 4 The electronic equipment shown, such as Figure 6 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0092] S501. After the system of the electronic device is upgraded, when the electronic device is powered on or restarted for the first time, the phone application is initialized.

[0093] S502. The phone application sends a first message to the first dial pad, where the first message is used to pull up the first dial pad.

[0094] S503. The first dial pad sends a second query request to the TeleComManager in response to the first message, where the second query request is used to query the default dial pad.

[0095] S504. In response to the second query request, the TeleComManager sends a second query response to the first dial pad, and the second query response does not indicate a default dial pad.

[0096] S505. In response to the second query response, the first dialer records the information of the default dialer in the memory.

[0097] S501 to S505 of this embodiment can refer to Figure 5 The embodiments are not expanded here.

[0098] Based on the above steps, the method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0099] S601. After TeleComService is initialized, a notification message is sent, where the notification message is used to indicate information about the default dial pad.

[0100] S602. The first dial pad updates the default dial pad information in the memory based on the notification message.

[0101] In one example, the notification message is a broadcast message.

[0102] In one example, the notification message includes a package name of a default dialer.

[0103] It should be noted that the electronic device system upgrade usually does not update the setting of the default dial pad. For example, before the system upgrade, the default dial pad of the electronic device is the first dial pad. After the electronic device system upgrade, the default dial pad is still the first dial pad. Based on this, TeleComService sends a notification message, and the notification message may include the package name of the first dial pad to indicate that the default dial pad is the first dial pad. Based on the notification message, the first dial pad updates the memory record, such as recording the first dial pad as the default dial pad.

[0104] S603. In response to the operation of starting the first dial, the electronic device displays the first dial.

[0105] In response to the operation of starting the first dial, the first dial determines whether the first dial is a default dial based on the memory record, and if the first dial is the default dial, displays the first dial.

[0106] In the dial pad startup method shown in the above embodiment, although the initialization of the first dial pad is before the initialization of TeleComService, the first dial pad records the wrong default dial pad information in the memory. In order to prevent the user from being unable to directly call the dial pad when using the phone application, TeleComService can be configured to send a broadcast after initialization is completed to indicate the default dial pad information. The first dial pad updates the memory record based on the broadcast, so that when the first dial pad is started, the electronic device can display the first dial pad normally, which can avoid the device popping up a prompt to set the default dial pad, which affects the user experience.

[0107] against Figure 5 In order to solve the problem that the user cannot directly call the dial pad in the embodiment, the embodiment of the present application also proposes an improved dial pad startup method. At some time after the TeleComService is initialized, such as when the device unlocks the screen, or when the device starts the first dial pad, the first dial pad calls TeleComService again through TeleComManager to query the default dial pad information and update the default dial pad information in the memory record. In this way, it can be avoided that the user cannot directly call the dial pad due to the wrong default dial pad information recorded during the initialization process of the first dial pad. Figure 7 The scheme is described in detail.

[0108] Figure 7 Another flowchart of the method for activating the dial provided in the embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to Figure 4 The electronic equipment shown, such as Figure 7 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0109] S501. After the system of the electronic device is upgraded, when the electronic device is powered on or restarted for the first time, the phone application is initialized.

[0110] S502. The phone application sends a first message to the first dial pad, where the first message is used to pull up the first dial pad.

[0111] S503. The first dial pad sends a second query request to the TeleComManager in response to the first message, where the second query request is used to query the default dial pad.

[0112] S504. In response to the second query request, the TeleComManager sends a second query response to the first dial pad, and the second query response does not indicate a default dial pad.

[0113] S505. In response to the second query response, the first dialer records the information of the default dialer in the memory.

[0114] S501 to S505 of this embodiment can refer to Figure 5 The embodiments are not expanded here.

[0115] Based on the above steps, the method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0116] S701. At a first opportunity, a first dial pad sends a first query request to TeleComManager, where the first query request is used to query a default dial pad.

[0117] The first time refers to a time when the electronic device is turned on or restarted for the first time after the system is upgraded. Figure 7 Before the first opportunity, TeleComService has completed initialization. Exemplarily, the first opportunity may be when the device unlocks the screen for the first time, or when the device starts the first dial pad for the first time.

[0118] S702. In response to the first query request, the TeleComManager sends a first query response to the first dial pad, where the first query response indicates a default dial pad.

[0119] Reference Figure 5 The first dialer calls TeleComService through TeleComManager to query the information of the default dialer. Since TeleComService has completed initialization, the second query response returned by TeleComManager to the first dialer indicates the information of the default dialer. Exemplarily, the second query response includes the package name of the default dialer, for example, the second query response includes the package name of the first dialer.

[0120] S703. The first dial pad updates the default dial pad information in the memory based on the first query response.

[0121] Based on the first query response, the first dial pad writes the latest queried default dial pad information into the memory and deletes the old default dial pad information.

[0122] In some embodiments, if the first timing is when the device starts the first dial for the first time, after S702, the following is further performed: S704. The electronic device displays the first dial.

[0123] This embodiment does not limit the execution order of S703 and S704, and both can be executed by notification or in sequence.

[0124] In some embodiments, if the first time is when the device unlocks the screen for the first time, after S703, S704 is executed, and S704 specifically includes: in response to the operation of starting the first dial, the electronic device displays the first dial. The operation of starting the first dial can be an operation of the user clicking the phone application icon, refer to Figure 3 In response to clicking the icon 1011 of the telephone application on the interface 101, the electronic device starts the first dial pad.

[0125] In the above embodiment, the method for starting the dial pad is shown. Although the initialization of the first dial pad is before the initialization of TeleComService, the first dial pad records the wrong default dial pad information in the memory. In order to avoid the user being unable to directly call the dial pad when using the phone application, the first dial pad can be configured to re-query the default dial pad at various times to update the default dial pad information recorded in the memory. In this way, when the first dial pad is started, the electronic device can display the first dial pad normally, which can avoid the device popping up to set the default dial pad, which affects the user experience.

[0126] Based on the above embodiments, the present application provides a method for activating a dial pad. Figure 8 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0127] S801. After the electronic device system is upgraded, the electronic device performs an initialization process when it is turned on or restarted for the first time.

[0128] S802. After the initialization process is completed, the electronic device obtains and records first information through the first dial, where the first information is used to indicate that the first dial is a default dial.

[0129] S803. In response to the operation of starting the first dial, the electronic device displays a first interface, where the first interface includes the first dial.

[0130] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is turned on or restarted, the electronic device performs an initialization process, which includes starting various system services (e.g., communication services), registering system services with a service manager, starting some necessary applications (e.g., phone applications and dial pads, etc.), etc.

[0131] In some embodiments, the electronic device starts a phone application, and the phone application can pull up the first dial pad. Figure 5 As shown, after the phone application is started, a first message is sent to the first dial pad to pull up the first dial pad. Pulling up the first dial pad can be understood as initializing the first dial pad.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first dial pad may be a dial pad preset in the electronic device system, or a third-party dial pad.

[0133] In some embodiments, the operation of activating the first dial pad may be an operation of a user clicking a phone application icon. Figure 3 As shown, in response to the user clicking on the icon 1011 of the interface 101 , the electronic device displays the first interface 104 , and the first interface 104 includes a first dial pad 1041 .

[0134] In other embodiments, the operation of starting the first dial pad may be an operation in which the user clicks on a dial pad icon, for example, Figure 1 As shown, in response to the user clicking the icon 1021 of the interface 102 , the electronic device displays the first interface 103 , and the first interface 103 includes a first dial pad 1031 .

[0135] In this embodiment, the first information may also be described as default dial pad information.

[0136] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, when the electronic device is turned on or restarted for the first time after the system is upgraded, the electronic device executes an initialization process, and the initialization process includes updating the system service and initializing the first dial pad. When initializing the first dial pad, it is necessary to access the communication service to obtain the default dial pad information. However, due to the system upgrade, the time for the electronic device to update the system service is longer than usual. When the first dial pad accesses the communication service, the communication service is not ready (initialization is not completed), resulting in the first dial pad recording wrong information (such as the first dial pad is not the default dial pad). Therefore, it is designed that after the initialization process is completed (the communication service initialization is completed), the first dial pad of the electronic device obtains and records the first information again, and the first information is accurate information provided by the communication service. In this way, when the first dial pad is started, the electronic device can display the first dial pad normally, which can avoid the device popping up a prompt to set the default dial pad, which affects the user experience.

[0137] In an optional embodiment, the electronic device includes a communication service. When the electronic device is powered on or restarted for the first time after the system is upgraded, the electronic device obtains and records the first information through the first dial, including: when the electronic device is powered on or restarted for the first time after the system is upgraded, the electronic device initializes the first dial and the communication service; after the communication service is initialized, the first dial obtains the first information from the communication service; the first dial records the first information in the memory of the electronic device.

[0138] In this embodiment, the first dial obtains the first information from the communication service, including: the first dial initiates a request to the communication service to obtain the first information; or the communication service sends the first information to the first dial.

[0139] In some embodiments, the communication service is located in the system service layer of the electronic device, and the communication service may correspond to Figure 4 TeleComService shown.

[0140] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, in order to prevent the first dial pad from recording erroneous information during initialization, it is designed that after the communication service initialization is completed, the first dial pad again obtains the default dial pad information from the communication service, and the default dial pad information obtained again is accurate.

[0141] In an optional embodiment, after the communication service is initialized, the first dial obtains the first information from the communication service, including: after the communication service is initialized, the communication service sends a notification message to the first dial, and the notification message includes the first information. Figure 6 S601 of the embodiment.

[0142] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, it is designed that after the communication service initialization is completed, the communication service actively sends a notification message to the first dial pad, so that the first dial pad updates the default dial pad information based on the notification message. The default dial pad information sent by the communication service is accurate.

[0143] In an optional embodiment, after the communication service is initialized, the first dial obtains the first information from the communication service, including: after the communication service is initialized, the first dial sends a first query request to the communication service, the first query request is used to query the information of the default dial; the electronic service responds to the first query request and sends a first query response to the first dial, the first query response includes the first information. Figure 7 Embodiments S701 to S702.

[0144] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, it is designed that after the communication service is initialized, regardless of whether the first dial pad obtains the default dial pad information from the communication service during initialization, the first dial pad will access the communication service again (such as sending a first query request) to obtain accurate default dial pad information.

[0145] In an optional embodiment, the first dial pad sends the first query request to the communication service, including: at a first time, the first dial pad sends the first query request to the communication service. The first time includes at least one of the following: when the electronic device unlocks the screen for the first time; when the electronic device starts the first dial pad for the first time.

[0146] In one example, after the electronic device system is upgraded and after it is powered on or restarted for the first time, in response to the operation of unlocking the screen for the first time, the electronic device sends a first query request to the communication service through the first dial pad.

[0147] In one example, after the electronic device system is upgraded and it is powered on or restarted for the first time, in response to the first click of a phone application icon, the electronic device activates a first dial pad and sends a first query request to a communication service through the first dial pad.

[0148] In an optional embodiment, the electronic device further includes a telephone application and a communication management module, and the electronic device initializes the first dial pad, including: the electronic device initializes the telephone application; the telephone application sends a first message to the first dial pad, and the first message is used to pull up the first dial pad; the first dial pad responds to the first message and sends a second query request to the communication service through the communication management module, and the second query request is used to query the information of the default dial pad; the communication management module sends a second query response to the first dial pad, and the second query response does not indicate the information of the default dial pad; the first dial pad records second information in the memory based on the second query response, and the second information is used to indicate that the first dial pad is not the default dial pad. Please refer to Figure 6 Embodiments S501 to S505.

[0149] In some embodiments, the communication management module is located in the application framework layer of the electronic device, and the communication management module may correspond to Figure 4 The TeleComManager shown.

[0150] In the dial pad startup method shown in this embodiment, during the initialization process of the first dial pad, the communication service can be accessed through the communication management module to obtain the information of the default dial pad. Since the communication service is not initialized, the first dial pad records in the memory that the first dial pad is not the default dial pad based on the response returned by the communication management module.
