How to provide a management method for a convenient and multifunctional task management center remains to be further studied. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an application management method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, which improve the operation convenience of the task management center and enhance the user experience.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides an application management method. The method includes: an electronic device displays a first user interface, and a first floating window of a first application is floatingly displayed on the first user interface; the electronic device receives a first operation; in response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a multitask management interface, the multitask management interface includes a first display area and a second display area, the first display area includes a first task window of a second application, and the second display area includes a second task window of the first application. The application type of the first application includes full-screen applications and / or split-screen applications.

[0006] The first user interface can be a desktop or an application interface within an application.

[0007] Through this method, the electronic device can divide the multitask management interface into two areas, and different areas display task windows of applications of different application types, which is convenient for users to manage applications of different types in the multitask management interface.

[0008] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the first display area and the second display area do not overlap.

[0009] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the window style of the first task window is different from the window style of the second task window. The window style includes one or more of the following: window size, window shape, window color, window transparency, and window round corners.

[0010] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the first user interface includes a desktop or a user interface within a third application.

[0011] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after the electronic device receives the first operation and before the electronic device displays the multitasking management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device plays a first animation, and the first animation includes multiple frames of images.

[0012] In this way, after the electronic device receives a user operation to enter the multitasking management interface and before the electronic device displays the multitasking management interface, the electronic device can play an animation to enhance the user's visual effect.

[0013] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the multitasking management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device stops displaying the first floating window.

[0014] After the electronic device displays the multitasking management interface, the electronic device can stop displaying the first floating window.

[0015] In some embodiments, after the electronic device displays the multitasking management interface, the electronic device can continue to floatingly display the first floating window on the multitasking management interface.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the multitasking management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device receives a second operation of the user on the second task window; in response to the second operation, the electronic device displays a second user interface, and the first floating window is floatingly displayed on the second user interface.

[0017] The second user interface may be the same as or different from the first user interface.

[0018] In this way, after the electronic device displays the multitasking management interface, the electronic device can receive an operation of the user on the task window of the floating application, so that the electronic device continues to floatingly display the first floating window in the foreground.

[0019] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the second display area further includes a third task window of a third application; after the electronic device displays the multitasking management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device receives a third operation of the user on the third task window; in response to the third operation, the electronic device displays a second user interface, and the first floating window and a second floating window of the third application are floatingly displayed on the second user interface.

[0020] In this way, after the electronic device displays the multitasking management interface, the electronic device can receive an operation of the user on the task window of the floating application, so that the electronic device floatingly displays multiple floating windows in the foreground, for example, floatingly displays the first floating window and the second floating window in the foreground at the same time.

[0021] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the second display area further includes a third task window of a third application; after the electronic device displays the multitask management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device receives a third operation of the user on the third task window; in response to the third operation, the electronic device displays a second user interface, and a second floating window of the third application is floatingly displayed on the second user interface, and the first floating window is not displayed on the second user interface.

[0022] In this way, after the electronic device displays the multitask management interface, the electronic device can receive the operation of the user on the task window of the floating application, so that the electronic device switches the floating window floatingly displayed in the foreground. For example, the floating window floatingly displayed in the foreground is switched from the first floating window to the second floating window.

[0023] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, a second floating window of a third application is further floatingly displayed on the first user interface, the first floating window is located above the second floating window, and the second display area further includes a third task window of the third application; after the electronic device displays the multitask management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device receives a third operation of the user on the third task window; in response to the third operation, the electronic device displays a second user interface, and the second floating window and the first floating window are floatingly displayed on the second user interface, and the second floating window is located above the first floating window.

[0024] In this way, after the electronic device displays the multitask management interface, the electronic device can receive the operation of the user on the task window of the floating application, so that the electronic device switches the focus floating window floatingly displayed in the foreground. The focus floating window is the floating window that the current user can operate, such as operations like moving the focus floating window.

[0025] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, a second floating window of a third application is further floatingly displayed on the first user interface, the first floating window is located above the second floating window, and the second display area further includes a third task window of the third application and a fourth task window of a fourth application; after the electronic device displays the multitask management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device receives a fourth operation of the user on the fourth task window; in response to the fourth operation, the electronic device displays a second user interface, and a third floating window of the fourth application and the first floating window are floatingly displayed on the second user interface, and the third floating window is located above the first floating window.

[0026] In this way, after the electronic device displays the multitask management interface, when the electronic device can simultaneously display two floating windows in the foreground, the electronic device can receive the operation of the user on the task window of the floating application, so that the electronic device switches the two different floating windows displayed in the foreground

[0027] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the multitask management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device receives a fifth operation by the user on the first task window; in response to the fifth operation, the electronic device displays a third user interface of a second application.

[0028] Optionally, after the electronic device displays the third user interface of the second application, the electronic device may continue to floatingly display a first floating window on the third user interface. Optionally, after the electronic device displays the third user interface of the second application, the electronic device may also not display the first floating window.

[0029] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the multitask management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device receives a sixth operation, where the sixth operation is a user operation to stop displaying the multitask management interface; in response to the sixth operation, the electronic device displays the desktop.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the sixth operation is an operation on the blank area of the multitask management interface.

[0031] The sixth operation is not limited to an operation on the blank area of the multitask management interface, and may also be other operations, such as a sliding operation on the multitask management interface, etc.

[0032] In this way, after the electronic device stops displaying the multitask management interface, the electronic device may stop displaying other user interfaces and floating windows and only display the desktop. Optionally, after the electronic device stops displaying the multitask management interface, the electronic device may also continue to display other user interfaces and / or floating windows.

[0033] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the first floating window, the method further includes: the electronic device receives a seventh operation on the first floating window, where the seventh operation is a user operation to stop floatingly displaying the first floating window on the second user interface; in response to the seventh operation, the electronic device continues to display a second task window in a second display area.

[0034] In this way, after the electronic device receives a user operation to stop displaying the first floating window in the foreground, the multitask management interface still continues to display the second task window of the first application, that is, the process of the first application is not closed.

[0035] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the multitask management interface, the method further includes: the electronic device receives an eighth operation on the second task window, where the eighth operation is a user operation to delete the second task window; in response to the eighth operation, the electronic device closes the process of the second application.

[0036] In this way, after the electronic device receives a user operation to delete the second task window in the multitasking management interface, the electronic device also closes the process of the first application.

[0037] Combined with the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, the eighth operation is a user operation of long pressing and swiping up the two-task window.

[0038] In a second aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a memory and a processor; wherein, the memory and the processor are coupled, and the memory is used to store a computer program.

It can be visible interface elements such as text, icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars, navigation bars, Widgets, etc. displayed on the display screen of a wearable device.

[0054] This application provides an application management method. An electronic device can launch one or more applications. A user can view the launched one or more applications in the task management center and manage the launched one or more applications. Among them, the launched one or more applications can include applications running in the foreground or applications running in the background. An application running in the foreground can refer to an application that has been launched and the electronic device currently displays the user interface within the application. An application running in the background can refer to an application that has been launched and the electronic device currently does not display the user interface within the application.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electronic device divides the task management center interface into multiple regions, and different regions display task windows of different types of applications, facilitating the user to manage different types of applications. The types of applications can include but are not limited to full-screen applications, split-screen applications, floating applications, etc. The types of applications can also include other more or fewer types, and this application does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0056] Among them, a full-screen application can refer to an application whose user interface within the application is fully displayed on the display screen of the electronic device. A split-screen application can refer to an application whose user interface within the application is displayed in a partial display area of the display screen of the electronic device. A floating application can refer to an application whose window is displayed on the display screen of the electronic device, and the window can move within the display area of the display screen of the electronic device as the user drags and operates.

[0057] Optionally, when there are both full-screen applications and floating applications on the electronic device, the electronic device can divide the task management center interface into two regions, a first display region and a second display region. Among them, the first display region is used to display the task windows of full-screen applications, and the second display region is used to display the task windows of floating applications.

[0058] Optionally, when there are split-screen applications, full-screen applications, and floating applications on the electronic device, the electronic device can divide the task management center interface into three regions, a first display region, a second display region, and a third display region. Among them, the first display region is used to display the task windows of full-screen applications, the second display region is used to display the task windows of floating applications, and the third display region is used to display the task windows of split-screen applications.

[0059] Optionally, when there are split-screen applications, full-screen applications, and floating applications on the electronic device, the electronic device can also divide the task management center interface into two regions, a first display region and a second display region. Among them, the first display region is used to display the task windows of full-screen applications and split-screen applications, and the second display region is used to display the task windows of floating applications.

[0060] The display screen of an electronic device can be of various types such as a straight screen, a foldable screen, a rollable screen, etc. The foldable screen can include an up-and-down foldable screen, a left-and-right foldable screen, etc. The up-and-down foldable screen or the left-and-right foldable screen can further include an outward foldable screen, an inward foldable screen, etc.

[0061] Through this method, the electronic device can divide the task management center interface into different areas, and different areas display task windows of different types of applications, which facilitates the user to manage different types of applications and improves the user experience.

[0062] First, the form of the display screen of the electronic device provided in this application will be introduced.

[0063] The form of the display screen of the electronic device can include: a straight display screen, a foldable screen, and an expandable screen. Among them, the foldable screen can be further divided into an inward foldable screen, an outward foldable screen, an up-and-down foldable screen, etc. In some embodiments, the foldable screen can also be a double-foldable screen, etc.

[0064] The display area of the straight display screen is fixed. In some embodiments, the straight display screen can also be referred to as an upright display screen. The shape of the straight display screen is fixed, non-retractable, and non-foldable.

[0065] Figures 1A - 1F The schematic diagram of the display form of the foldable screen is shown.

[0066] The foldable screen can be further divided into an inward foldable screen and an outward foldable screen. The display forms of the inward foldable screen and the outward foldable screen can be divided into a folded state and an unfolded state.

[0067] Among them, Figures 1A - 1B The schematic diagram of the display form of the inward foldable screen is shown.

[0068] Figure 1A The schematic diagram of the display form of the inward foldable screen when it is in the unfolded state is shown.

[0069] Figure 1A (a) in shows a front view of the inward foldable screen when it is in the unfolded state. Among them, when the inward foldable screen is in the unfolded state, the displayable screen of the foldable screen includes screen A, screen B, and screen C. Screen A and screen B can be a complete display screen or two independent display screens. Among them, in the fully folded state, the display area where screen A and screen B are located can also be referred to as the large screen, and the display area where screen A and screen B are located can also be referred to as the inner screen. Exemplarily, when the inward foldable screen is in the unfolded state, the included angle α between screen A and screen B is greater than angle one and less than or equal to 180 degrees. Exemplarily, the value of angle one can be between 170 degrees and 180 degrees. For example, when the inward foldable screen is in the unfolded and folded state, the included angle α between screen A and screen B can be 180 degrees.

[0070] Figure 1A(b) exemplarily shows the back view of the inward folding screen when it is in the unfolded and folded state. When the inward folding screen is in the unfolded state, the display screen of the folding screen further includes a C screen. Among them, the C screen is a display screen that is completely independent of the A screen and the B screen.

[0071] Figure 1B It shows a schematic diagram of the display form of the inward folding screen when it is in the folded state.

[0072] In some embodiments, Figure 1B The folded state of the folding screen shown can also be referred to as the fully folded state.

[0073] The inward folding screen can be bent in the direction where the A screen and the B screen face each other until the inward folding screen is in the fully folded state.

[0074] Such as Figure 1B shown, when the inward folding screen is in the fully folded state, the displayable screen of the inward folding screen only includes the C screen. Among them, in the fully folded state, the display area where the C screen is located can also be referred to as the small screen, and the display area where the C screen is located can also be referred to as the outer screen. The A screen and the B screen are hidden and invisible. Among them, in the middle folding state, the display areas where the A screen and the B screen are located can also be referred to as the large screen, and the display areas where the A screen and the B screen are located can also be referred to as the inner screen. The included angle α between the A screen and the B screen is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than angle two. For example, when the inward folding screen is in the fully folded state, the included angle α between the A screen and the B screen can be 0 degrees.

[0075] Figures 1C - 1D It shows a schematic diagram of the display form of the outward folding screen.

[0076] Figure 1C It shows a schematic diagram of the display form of the outward folding screen when it is in the unfolded state.

[0077] Figure 1C (a) exemplarily shows the front view of the outward folding screen when it is in the unfolded state. Among them, when the outward folding screen is in the unfolded state, the displayable screen of the folding screen includes the A screen and the B screen. The A screen and the B screen can be a complete display screen or two independent display screens. Exemplarily, when the inward folding screen is in the unfolded state, the included angle α between the A screen and the B screen is greater than angle three and less than or equal to 180 degrees. Exemplarily, the value of angle three can be between 170 degrees and 180 degrees. Exemplarily, if the value of angle three is 180 degrees, when the outward folding screen is in the unfolded state, the included angle α between the A screen and the B screen can be 180 degrees.

[0078] Figure 1C (b) exemplarily shows the back view of the outward folding screen when it is in the unfolded state. When the outward folding screen is in the unfolded state, compared with when the inward folding screen is in the unfolded state, the display screen of the outward folding screen does not include the C screen.

[0079] Figure 1DShows a schematic diagram of the display form when the inner folding screen is in the folded state.

[0080] In some embodiments, Figure 1D The folded state of the shown folding screen can also be referred to as the fully folded state.

[0081] As Figure 1D shown, when the outer folding screen is in the folded state, the outer folding screen can continue to bend in the direction where screen A and screen B face away from each other. The displayable screen of the folding screen can be screen B (or the displayable screen can also be screen A). Exemplarily, when the inner folding screen is in the fully folded state, screen A is in the off state (or screen B is in the off state), and the included angle α between screen A and screen B is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than angle four. Exemplarily, the value of angle four can be between 0 degrees and 10 degrees. Exemplarily, when the outer folding screen is in the fully folded state, the included angle α between screen A and screen B can be 0 degrees.

[0082] Figures 1E - 1F Shows a schematic diagram of the display form of the up-and-down folding screen.

[0083] Figure 1E Shows a schematic diagram of the display form when the up-and-down folding screen is in the unfolded state. Among them, when the up-and-down folding screen is in the unfolded state, the displayable screens of the folding screen include screen A and screen B. Screen A and screen B can be a complete display screen or two independent display screens. Exemplarily, when the inner folding screen is in the unfolded state, the included angle α between screen A and screen B is greater than angle three and less than or equal to 180 degrees. Exemplarily, the value of angle three can be between 170 degrees and 180 degrees. Exemplarily, if the value of angle three is 180 degrees, when the outer folding screen is in the unfolded state, the included angle α between screen A and screen B can be 180 degrees.

[0084] Figure 1F Shows a schematic diagram of the display form when the up-and-down folding screen is in the folded state.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 1F The folded state of the shown up-and-down folding screen can also be referred to as the fully folded state.

[0086] As Figure 1F shown, when the up-and-down folding screen is in the folded state, the up-and-down folding screen can bend in the direction where screen A and screen B face each other. When the up-and-down folding screen is in the folded state, screen A and screen B of the up-and-down folding screen are hidden and invisible. Exemplarily, when the up-and-down folding screen is in the fully folded state, both screen A and screen B are in the off state, and the included angle α between screen A and screen B is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than angle four. Exemplarily, the value of angle four can be between 0 degrees and 10 degrees. Exemplarily, when the up-and-down folding screen is in the fully folded state, the included angle α between screen A and screen B can be 0 degrees.

[0087] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the up-and-down folding screen may further include a C screen. The C screen is located on the back of the A screen or the B screen. When the up-and-down folding screen is in the unfolded state, the C screen is in the off-screen state. When the up-and-down folding screen is in the folded state, the C screen is in the on-screen state.

[0088] Figure 1G The schematic diagram of the display form of the extended screen is shown.

[0089] In some cases, the extended screen may also be referred to as a scroll screen. The scroll screen of the electronic device can be pulled out or retracted in a direction perpendicular to the scroll, changing the screen length of the scroll screen in the direction perpendicular to the scroll.

[0090] The form of the scroll screen can be divided into an unfolded state, a semi-unfolded state, and a fully unfolded state. Among them, Figure 1G (a) in shows the schematic diagram of the scroll screen in the unfolded state. When the scroll screen is in the unfolded state, a part of the screen of the scroll screen is hidden inside the body of the electronic device, and the electronic device can display the interface of the application on the other unfolded part of the screen. At this time, the length of the screen is length one. The part of the screen of the scroll screen hidden inside the body can stretch in a specified direction (for example, the arrow direction shown in the figure). When the screen of the scroll screen is not fully unfolded, the scroll screen is in the semi-unfolded state, as shown in Figure 1G (b) in. When the scroll screen is in the semi-unfolded state, the part of the screen of the scroll screen hidden inside the body decreases, and the part of the screen exposed on the surface of the body increases until the entire scroll screen is exposed on the surface of the body. When the entire scroll screen is exposed on the surface of the body, the scroll screen is in the fully unfolded state, as shown in Figure 1G (c) in, and at this time the length of the screen is length two. Among them, length two is greater than length one. It can be understood that when the length of the screen is greater than length one and less than length two, the scroll screen is in the semi-unfolded state.

[0091] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the scroll screen can expand the screen in a first direction perpendicular to the scroll, from the unfolded state, through the semi-unfolded state, to the fully unfolded state. Similarly, the scroll screen can also retract the screen in a second direction perpendicular to the scroll, from the fully unfolded state, through the semi-unfolded state, to the unfolded state. Among them, the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0092] Optionally, it is not limited to pulling out the scroll screen of the electronic device horizontally to the right perpendicular to the scroll. In some embodiments, the scroll screen of the electronic device can also be pulled out horizontally to the left perpendicular to the scroll.

[0093] Optionally, in some embodiments, the scroll of the electronic device can also be in the horizontal direction, and the electronic device can also pull out the scroll screen vertically upward or downward perpendicular to the scroll. The embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations on this.

[0094] 1. Electronic device display task management center interface.

[0095] Figures 1H - 1U The figure shows a schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 displaying the task management center interface.

[0096] As Figure 1H shown, the electronic device 100 displays a floating window 1101 on the desktop. The floating window 1101 can be a floating window of the Huawei Video application, and video content is displayed in the floating window 1101. An option 1102 is also displayed on the floating window 1101, and the user can also use the option 1102 to make the electronic device 100 stop displaying the floating window 1101.

[0097] In some embodiments, the floating window 1101 can move within the display screen of the electronic device 100 along with the user's dragging operation.

[0098] The electronic device 100 can receive a user operation of swiping up from the bottom of the display screen to display the task management center interface. The user operation that causes the electronic device 100 to display the task management center interface can also be other operations, and the present application does not limit this.

[0099] In some embodiments, in order to enhance the visual effect of the electronic device 100 entering the task management center interface, before displaying the task management center interface, the electronic device 100 can play an animation, and then display the task management center interface after the animation is played.

[0100] Exemplarily, as Figure 1H shown, the electronic device 100 can receive a user operation of swiping up from the bottom of the display screen. In response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 can sequentially display Figure 1I 、 Figure 1J the shown animation frames, and finally display Figure 1K the task management center interface 1200 shown.

[0101] Optionally, Figure 1I 、 Figure 1J only show some animation frames of the animation. The animation can also include other more animation frames, and the present application does not limit the number and display style of the animation frames.

[0102] Optionally, Figure 1H as shown, the desktop is displayed under the floating window 1101. In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 can also display other application interfaces (non-desktop) under the floating window 1101, and the electronic device 100 can also enter the task management center interface from the displayed other application interfaces based on user operations.

[0103] As Figure 1KAs shown, the task management center interface 1200 includes a display area 1201 and a display area 1202. Multiple task windows of non-floating applications are displayed in the display area 1201. The task windows of non-floating applications can be task windows of full-screen applications, such as task windows of email applications and memo applications. One or more task windows of floating applications are displayed in the display area 1202, such as task windows of the Huawei Video application. The user can also slide within the display area 1201 or the display area 1202 to view task windows of other non-displayed floating applications.

[0104] In some embodiments, the display area 1201 and the display area 1202 can only display some task windows. The electronic device 100 can receive a sliding operation (such as a left sliding operation or a right sliding operation) performed by the user on the display area 1201 or the display area 1202, so that the electronic device 100 displays other non-displayed task windows on the display area 1201 or the display area 1202.

[0105] Figure 1L Shows task windows of floating applications not displayed in the display area 1202. For example, the Huawei Video application does not display a complete task window, task windows of instant messaging applications and contact applications.

[0106] Optionally, the multiple task windows of floating applications displayed in the display area 1202 can be sorted in the order of the last moment when the user operates the floating applications. For example, the multiple task windows of floating applications displayed from left to right in the display area 1202 can be sorted from the latest to the earliest according to the last moment when the user operates the floating applications. Among them, the last moment when the user operates the Huawei Video application is closest to the current time. The last moment when the user operates the Huawei Video application is later than the last moment when the user operates the instant messaging application, and the last moment when the user operates the instant messaging application is later than the last moment when the user operates the contact application.

[0107] Optionally, the multiple task windows of non-floating applications displayed in the display area 1201 can also be sorted in the order of the last moment when the user operates the non-floating applications.

[0108] In some embodiments, the display area 1201 can also display task windows of split-screen applications.

[0109] Such as Figure 1MAs shown, the display area 1201 not only displays the task window of the full-screen application, such as the task window of the memo application, but also displays the task windows of the split-screen applications on the display area 1201, such as the task window of the document application and the task window of the gallery application. The task windows of the document application and the gallery application also present a split-screen display state on the display area 1201. For example, the task window of the document application is located above the task window of the gallery application.

[0110] In some embodiments, the display area 1201 may also not display the task window of the full-screen application and only display the task windows of the split-screen applications.

[0111] In some embodiments, the task windows of the full-screen application and the split-screen applications may also be displayed in different display areas of the task management center interface.

[0112] Optionally, in order to distinguish the task windows of non-floating applications from the task windows of floating applications, the window styles of the task windows of non-floating applications displayed in the task management center interface and the window styles of the task windows of floating applications may be different to prompt the user which windows are the task windows of non-floating applications and which windows are the task windows of floating applications. For example, the window styles may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: window size, window shape, window color, window transparency, window round corners, etc.

[0113] Optionally, the display area 1202 may display the task windows of M floating applications, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. The display area 1201 may display the task windows of N non-floating applications, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. M and N may be the same or different.

[0114] The task management center interface 1200 further includes an option 1203, and the option 1203 is used to delete one or more task windows displayed in the task management center interface 1200.

[0115] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also only turn on the floating applications, and then only the task windows of the floating applications are displayed in the task management center interface. Exemplarily, as Figure 1N shown, the electronic device 100 displays a task management center interface 1300. The task management center interface 1300 includes a display area 1301, and multiple task windows of floating applications are displayed in the display area 1301, such as the task window of the Huawei Video application and the task window of the instant messaging application. Optionally, the display area of the display screen where the display area 1301 is located and the display area of the display screen where the display area 1202 is located may be the same or different.

[0116] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also only turn on non - floating applications, and then only the task windows of non - floating applications are displayed in the task management center interface. Exemplarily, as Figure 1O shown, the electronic device 100 displays a task management center interface 1400. The task management center interface 1400 includes a display area 1401, and multiple task windows of non - floating applications are displayed in the display area 1401. For example, the task window of the mailbox application and the task window of the memo application. Optionally, the display area of the display screen where the display area 1401 is located and the display area of the display screen where the display area 1201 is located may be the same or different.

[0117] Figures 1H - 1O shows a schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 displaying the task management center interface when the display screen of the electronic device 100 is a folding screen and in the unfolded state, or when the display screen of the electronic device 100 is a roll - up screen and in the unfolded state.

[0118] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also display the task management center interface when in other forms.

[0119] Figure 1P shows a schematic diagram of another task management center interface.

[0120] As Figure 1P shown, the task management center interface 1500 includes a display area 1501 and a display area 1502. Multiple task windows of non - floating applications are displayed in the display area 1501. The task windows of non - floating applications may be task windows of full - screen applications, such as the task window of the mailbox application and the task window of the memo application ( Figure 1P not fully shown), etc. One or more task windows of floating applications are displayed in the display area 1502, such as the task window of the Huawei Video application, etc. The user can also slide within the display area 1501 or the display area 1502 to view other task windows of floating applications that are not displayed.

[0121] Optionally, Figure 1P the display screen of the electronic device 100 shown is a straight - panel screen, or the display screen of the electronic device 100 is a folding screen and in the contracted state, or the display screen of the electronic device 100 is a roll - up screen and in the contracted state.

[0122] Optionally, since Figure 1P the display area of the display screen of the electronic device 100 shown is smaller than Figure 1L the display area of the display screen of the electronic device 100 shown, then the area of the display area 1501 is smaller than the area of the display area 1201, and the area of the display area 1502 is smaller than the area of the display area 1202.

[0123] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may display a preset number of floating windows in the foreground, and the electronic device 100 may also display the task windows of the applications displayed in the foreground of the electronic device 100 in the sidebar display area.

[0124] For example, the electronic device 100 may display 2 floating windows in the foreground at the same time, and the electronic device 100 may also display the task windows of the applications running in the foreground of the electronic device 100 in the sidebar display area. The task management center interface can not only display the task windows of the applications running in the foreground of the electronic device 100, but also display the task windows of the applications running in the background of the electronic device 100.

[0125] Not limited to 2 floating windows, the electronic device 100 may also display more or fewer floating windows in the foreground at the same time, and the present application does not limit this.

[0126] Exemplarily, if the electronic device 100 displays the floating window A of application A and the floating window B of application B in the foreground at the same time, then the sidebar display area may display the task window of application A and the task window of application B. The electronic device 100 may receive a user operation to display the floating window C of application C in the foreground. When the electronic device 100 can display 2 floating windows in the foreground at the same time, if the last moment when the user operates the floating window B is closer to the current moment than the floating window A, the electronic device 100 may stop displaying the floating window A in the foreground. When the user opens the sidebar again, the sidebar displays the task window of application C and the task window of application B, but the task management center interface can display the task window of application A, the task window of application B, and the task window of application C.

[0127] As Figure 1Q shown, the electronic device 100 displays the floating window 1101 and the floating window 1103 in the foreground, and the electronic device 100 also displays an option 1104 for triggering the electronic device 100 to display the sidebar display area, and the task window of the Huawei Video application running in the foreground is displayed in the sidebar display area. The user can manage the floating windows displayed in the foreground in the sidebar display area, such as stopping displaying one or more floating windows in the foreground, etc.

[0128] As Figure 1Q shown, the floating window 1101 is located above the floating window 1103, indicating that the time when the user operates the floating window 1101 is later than the time when the user operates the floating window 1103. At this time, the focus window is the floating window 1101, and the focus window can be the window that the user can currently operate, for example, the user can drag the floating window 1101.

[0129] Exemplarily, as Figure 1QAs shown, the electronic device 100 can receive a user's input operation (such as a click) for option 1104. In response to the user's input operation, the electronic device 100 can display Figure 1R the user interface 1106 shown. The user interface 1106 can be a sidebar display area. In the user interface 1106, a task window of the Huawei Video application and a task window of the instant messaging application are displayed. Among them, the task window of the Huawei Video application can be the task window corresponding to the floating window 1101, and the task window of the instant messaging application can be the task window corresponding to the floating window 1103. The user interface 1106 also includes option 1105. The user can make the electronic device 100 return to the desktop through option 1105 and display Figure 1H the user interface shown.

[0130] The electronic device 100 can also display the task windows of the applications running in the foreground and the task windows of the applications running in the background in the task management center interface. For example, it can display the task window of the Huawei Video application and the task window of the instant messaging application.

[0131] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can also switch to display other floating windows in the foreground.

[0132] Exemplarily, as Figure 1S shown, the electronic device 100 can receive a user operation to display the floating window 1107 of the Contacts application in the foreground. If the electronic device 100 can display two floating windows in the foreground at the same time, the electronic device 100 can stop displaying the floating window 1103 in the foreground and run the instant messaging application in the background. The electronic device 100 has the floating window 1101 and the floating window 1107 displayed in the foreground. As Figure 1S shown, the floating window 1107 is located above the floating window 1101, indicating that the time when the user operates the floating window 1107 is later than the time when the user operates the floating window 1101. At this time, the focus window is the floating window 1107.

[0133] Exemplarily, as Figure 1S shown, the electronic device 100 can receive a user's input operation (such as a click) for option 1104. In response to the user's input operation, the electronic device 100 can display Figure 1T the user interface 1108 shown. The user interface 1108 can be a sidebar display area. In the user interface 1108, a task window of the Contacts application and a task window of the Huawei Video application are displayed. Among them, the task window of the Contacts application can be the task window corresponding to the floating window 1107, and the task window of the Huawei Video application can be the task window corresponding to the floating window 1101. The user interface 1108 also includes option 1109. The user can make the electronic device 100 return to the desktop through option 1109 and displayFigure 1S The user interface shown.

[0134] The electronic device 100 can also display the task windows of the applications running in the foreground and the task windows of the applications running in the background in the task management center interface. For example, it can display Figure 1U The user interface 1600 shown. The user interface 1600 includes a display area 1301, and the task windows of multiple applications are displayed in the display area 1301, such as the task window of the contacts application, the task window of the Huawei Video application, and the task window of the instant messaging application, etc.

[0135] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can receive user operations to manage the task windows of the applications displayed on the task management center interface.

[0136] II. Manage the task windows of the applications displayed on the task management center interface.

[0137] Figures 2A - 2V The schematic diagram shows that the electronic device 100 receives user operations to manage the task windows of the applications displayed on the task management center interface.

[0138] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can receive user operations for the task windows of the floating applications in the task management center interface and display the floating windows of the floating applications in the foreground.

[0139] Such as Figure 2A Shown, the electronic device 100 displays the user interface 1300, and the user interface 1300 can be the task management center interface. The task windows of the floating applications are displayed in the user interface 1300.

[0140] Exemplarily, such as Figure 2A Shown, the electronic device 100 can receive an input operation (such as a click) from the user for the task window of the Huawei Video application in the user interface 1300. In response to the user's input operation, the electronic device 100 can display Figure 2B The user interface shown. Such as Figure 2B Shown, the electronic device 100 has a floating window 1101 displayed in the foreground, and the floating window 1101 can be the floating window of the Huawei Video application.

[0141] In some embodiments, before the user selects the task window of the Huawei Video application, the electronic device 100 can also have the floating window 1101 displayed in the foreground, or not have the floating window 1101 displayed in the foreground.

[0142] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 can simultaneously display multiple floating windows in the foreground, the electronic device 100 can receive an operation of the user in the task management center interface, so that the electronic device 100 displays multiple floating windows in the foreground.

[0143] Exemplarily, as Figure 2C shown, the electronic device 100 receives an input operation (such as a click) of the user on the task window of the instant messaging application in the user interface 1300. In response to the input operation of the user, the electronic device 100 can display a floating window corresponding to the instant messaging application in the foreground.

[0144] First, as Figure 2D shown in (a) of, the electronic device 100 displays a floating window 1101 in the foreground. The electronic device 100 can receive a user operation to display the task management center interface, such as displaying Figure 2C the user interface shown. After that, the electronic device 100 can receive an input operation of the user on Figure 2C the task window of the instant messaging application in the user interface 1300 by the user, such as a click operation. Finally, in response to the input operation of the user, the electronic device 100 can display Figure 2D the user interface shown in (b) of. In Figure 2D the (b) of, the electronic device 100 can simultaneously display the floating window 1101 and the floating window 1103. In this way, the electronic device 100 can display multiple floating windows in the foreground.

[0145] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 can display one floating window in the foreground, the electronic device 100 can receive an operation of the user in the task management center interface to switch and display different floating windows.

[0146] First, as Figure 2E shown in (a) of, the electronic device 100 displays a floating window 1101 in the foreground. The electronic device 100 can receive a user operation to display the task management center interface, such as displaying Figure 2C the user interface shown. After that, the electronic device 100 can receive an input operation of the user on Figure 2C the task window of the instant messaging application in the user interface 1300 by the user, such as a click operation. Finally, in response to the input operation of the user, the electronic device 100 can display Figure 2E the user interface shown in (b) of. In Figure 2E the (b) of, the electronic device 100 stops displaying the floating window 1101 and displays the floating window 1103. In this way, the electronic device 100 can switch and display different floating windows in the foreground.

[0147] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 can simultaneously display multiple floating windows in the foreground, the electronic device 100 can receive an operation of the user in the task management center interface to switch the floating windows displayed by the electronic device 100 in the foreground.

[0148] As Figure 2F shown, the electronic device 100 has a floating window 1101 and a floating window 1103 displayed in the foreground. Among them, the floating window 1101 is located above the floating window 1103. It can also be said that the current focus window is the floating window 1101, indicating that the last moment when the user operates the floating window 1101 is later than the last moment when the user operates the floating window 1103. For example, the last moment when the user operates the floating window 1101 is 10:10:20 am, and the last moment when the user operates the floating window 1103 is 10:10:10 am.

[0149] After that, the electronic device 100 can receive the user's operation to display the task management center interface, such as displaying Figure 2G the user interface 1300 shown. The electronic device 100 can receive a sliding operation of the user within the display area 1301, such as a leftward sliding operation. In response to the user's sliding operation, the electronic device 100 can display task windows of other floating applications that are not displayed. For example, the electronic device 100 can display Figure 2H the user interface 2100 shown, and a task window of the contacts application is displayed in the user interface 2100. The user can select the task window of the contacts application, so that the electronic device 100 displays the floating window corresponding to the contacts application in the foreground.

[0150] Exemplarily, as Figure 2H shown, the electronic device 100 can receive an input operation (such as a click) of the user on the task window of the contacts application. In response to the user's input operation, when the electronic device 100 can simultaneously display two floating windows, the electronic device 100 can display Figure 2I the user interface shown. The last moment when the user operates the floating window 1101 is later than the last moment when the user operates the floating window 1103. The electronic device 100 needs to stop displaying the floating window 1103 in the foreground and display the floating window 1101 and the floating window 1107 in the foreground.

[0151] After displaying Figure 2I the user interface shown, the electronic device 100 can receive the user's operation to display the task management center interface again, such as displaying Figure 2J the user interface shown. As Figure 2JAs shown, the display area 1301 displays task windows of multiple floating applications. For example, the task window of the contacts application, the task window of the Huawei Video application, and the task window of the instant messaging application. Among them, the last moment when the user operates the contacts application is closest to the current moment. The last moment when the user operates the contacts application is later than the last moment when the user operates the Huawei Video application, and the last moment when the user operates the Huawei Video application is later than the last moment when the user operates the instant messaging application. In the display area 1301, the task window of the contacts application is located to the left of the task window of the Huawei Video application, and the task window of the Huawei Video application is located to the left of the task window of the instant messaging application, so as to indicate the moments when the user operates each floating application.

[0152] Not limited to simultaneously displaying two floating windows in the foreground, the electronic device 100 can also simultaneously display more floating windows in the foreground. This application does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0153] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 can simultaneously display multiple floating windows in the foreground, the electronic device 100 can receive the user's operation in the task management center interface and switch the focus window among the multiple floating windows displayed by the electronic device 100 in the foreground.

[0154] As Figure 2K shown, the electronic device 100 displays a floating window 1101 and a floating window 1103 in the foreground. Among them, the floating window 1101 is located above the floating window 1103. It can also be said that the floating window 1101 is the focus window, indicating that the last moment when the user operates the floating window 1101 is later than the last moment when the user operates the floating window 1103. For example, the last moment when the user operates the floating window 1101 is 10:10:20 am, and the last moment when the user operates the floating window 1103 is 10:10:10 am.

[0155] After that, the electronic device 100 can receive the user's operation to display the task management center interface, such as displaying Figure 2L the user interface 1300 shown. The electronic device 100 can receive the user's input operation on the task window of the instant messaging application, such as a click. In response to the user's input operation, when the electronic device 100 can simultaneously display two floating windows in the foreground, the electronic device 100 can display Figure 2M the user interface shown. The electronic device 100 can switch the display order of the floating window 1101 and the floating window 1103, that is, display the floating window 1103 above the floating window 1101. It can also be said that the focus window is switched to the floating window 1103, and the current focus window is the floating window 1103.

[0156] When displaying Figure 2MAfter the user interface shown, the electronic device 100 can receive a user operation to display the task management center interface again, for example, to display Figure 2N the user interface shown. As Figure 2N shown, the display area 1301 displays task windows of multiple floating applications. For example, the task window of an instant messaging application and the task window of a Huawei Video application. Among them, the last moment when the user operates the instant messaging application is closest to the current moment, and the last moment when the user operates the instant messaging application is later than the last moment when the user operates the Huawei Video application. In the display area 1301, the task window of the instant messaging application is located on the left side of the task window of the Huawei Video application to indicate the moments when the user operates each floating application.

[0157] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can receive and respond to a user operation on the task window of a non-floating application in the task management center interface, and display the user interface of the non-floating application in the foreground.

[0158] Exemplarily, in the following embodiments of the present application, a non-floating application is taken as a full-screen application for illustration, that is, the electronic device 100 can receive and respond to a user operation on the task window of the full-screen application in the task management center interface, and display the user interface of the full-screen application full-screen on the display screen.

[0159] Optionally, when the electronic device 100 receives and responds to a user operation on the task window of a split-screen application in the task management center interface, the electronic device 100 can still display the user interface of the split-screen application on a partial display area of the display screen, or the electronic device 100 can also display the user interface of the split-screen application full-screen on the display screen. The present application does not make a limitation in this regard.

[0160] In some embodiments, before the user selects the task window of a non-floating application, the electronic device 100 may not display a floating window in the foreground.

[0161] Exemplarily, as Figure 2O shown, the electronic device 100 can receive an input operation (such as a click) of the user on the task window of the memo application in the user interface 1200. In response to the user's input operation, the electronic device 100 can display Figure 2P the user interface 2200 shown. The user interface 2200 can be the user interface in the memo application.

[0162] In some embodiments, before the user selects the task window of a non-floating application, the electronic device 100 may also display a floating window in the foreground, for example, to display Figure 1H the floating window 1101 shown.

[0163] Exemplarily, in response to a user's input operation on the task window of the memo application in the user interface 1200, the electronic device 100 may display Figure 2Q the user interface shown. The electronic device 100 may continue to display the floating window 1101 in the foreground, and the floating window 1101 is displayed on top of the user interface of the memo application.

[0164] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may receive a user operation to stop displaying the application window in the foreground. The application window may include a floating window and / or a non-floating window.

[0165] As Figure 2R shown, the electronic device 100 may receive a user's input operation (such as a click) on the blank area in the user interface 1200. In response to the user's input operation, the electronic device 100 displays Figure 2S the user interface shown. Figure 2S The user interface shown may also be referred to as the desktop, that is, the electronic device 100 stops displaying the application window, and the application window may include a floating window or a non-floating window.

[0166] Optionally, the user operation that causes the electronic device 100 to stop displaying the application window in the foreground is not limited to clicking on the blank area in the user interface 1200, and may also be other operations such as a swipe gesture or a touch operation to return to the desktop. This application does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0167] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 receives a user's input operation on the blank area in the user interface 1200 or other operations such as a swipe on the user interface 1200, the electronic device 100 stops displaying the user interface 1200, but the electronic device 100 may still continue to display the floating window and / or the non-floating window in the foreground. For example, as Figure 1H shown, display the floating window 1101 and the desktop, or as Figure 1Q shown, display the floating window 1101 and the floating window 1103, or as Figure 2P shown, display the user interface of the memo application, or as Figure 2Q shown, display the floating window 1101 and the user interface of the memo application.

[0168] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may receive a user operation to switch the floating window displayed in the foreground to run in the background, and the task window corresponding to the floating window is also displayed in the task management center interface.

[0169] Exemplarily, as Figure 2TAs shown, the electronic device 100 displays a floating window 1101 above the desktop. The electronic device 100 can receive a user's input operation (such as a click) on the option 1102 in the floating window 1101. In response to the user's input operation, such as Figure 2U As shown, the electronic device 100 stops displaying the floating window 1101 in the foreground, but the electronic device 100 does not close the process of the Huawei Video application. Instead, the Huawei Video application runs in the background. After the electronic device 100 stops displaying the floating window 1101 in the foreground, as Figure 2V In the task management center interface shown, the electronic device 100 still displays the task window of the Huawei Video application in the user interface 1200.

[0170] III. Delete the task window of the application displayed on the task management center interface.

[0171] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can receive a user operation to delete the task window displayed on the task management center interface, such as deleting the task window of a floating application and / or the task window of a non-floating application, etc.

[0172] Figures 3A - 3G Shows a schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 receiving a user operation to delete the task window of the application displayed on the task management center interface.

[0173] As Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device 100 displays a user interface 1300, and an option 1203 is also displayed in the user interface 1300.

[0174] Exemplarily, as Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device 100 can receive a user's input operation on the option 1203, such as a click operation. In response to the user's input operation, the electronic device 100 can delete the task window of the Huawei Video application and the task window of the instant messaging application in the user interface 1300, and display Figure 3B The user interface shown. Optionally, after the electronic device 100 deletes the task window of the Huawei Video application and the task window of the instant messaging application in the user interface 1300, the electronic device 100 also stops running the Huawei Video application and the instant messaging application.

[0175] Not limited to deleting the task window of a floating application, the user can also delete the task window of a non-floating application displayed on the task management center interface through the option 1203.
