Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to an application window switching method, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the diversification of usage scenarios for electronic devices, electronic devices typically run multiple applications simultaneously. Each application opens a separate window on the screen of the electronic device, and each window displays the application interface of an application in a split-screen manner.

[0003] Currently, when an electronic device displays multiple windows, the window can be switched from split-screen display to full-screen display via the top menu bar of each window.

[0004] However, when the application's display orientation is a forced orientation (the forced display orientation does not change with the way the electronic device is held), and the forced display orientation is different from the way the electronic device is held, switching the application's window from split-screen to full-screen display via the top bar requires changing both the window's shape and display orientation simultaneously. This causes abnormal animation effects during window switching, such as stuttering, which reduces the user experience during application window switching. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above, embodiments of this application provide an application window switching method, an electronic device, and a storage medium to overcome the problems of the prior art.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an application window switching method applied to an electronic device. The application window switching method includes: displaying a first window of a first application and a second window of a second application on the display screen of the electronic device in a split-screen manner; when a window switching operation is received, determining the holding direction of the electronic device, the window switching operation being used to instruct the first window to be displayed in full screen; when it is determined that the forced display direction of the first application is different from the holding direction, drawing a mask animation, the mask animation being used to adjust the window size of the first window to be the same as the display screen size; pausing the call to a display rotation class, the display rotation class being used to rotate the first window from the forced display direction to the holding direction; playing the mask animation; and when the mask animation finishes playing, resuming the call to the display rotation class so that the first window is displayed in full screen in the holding direction.

[0007] The solution provided in this application, during the application window switching process, when it is determined that the forced display direction of the application is different from the holding direction of the electronic device, draws a mask animation and controls the mask animation and rotation animation to play in sequence. After updating the window shape of the application window, the display direction of the window is rotated. This can suppress the problem of abnormal animation effects caused by the coupling of window shape change and display direction change, and improve the user experience during the application window switching process.

[0008] In some optional embodiments, before pausing the call to the display rotation class, the application window switching method further includes: calling the display rotation pause class method so that the display rotation pause class method updates the orientation control assignment of the display screen from 0 to 1. When the orientation control assignment is 0, the display orientation of the display screen can be changed according to the application's requested orientation. When the orientation control assignment is 1, the display orientation cannot be changed according to the requested orientation.

[0009] The solution provided in this embodiment modifies the display orientation control permission of the display screen to a disabled state by calling the display rotation pause class method before pausing the call to the display rotation pause class. This helps to improve the success rate of suppressing the coupling between changes in the window shape of the application window and changes in the display orientation.

[0010] In some optional embodiments, before restoring the display rotation class call, the application window switching method further includes: calling the display rotation restoration class method so that the display rotation restoration class method updates the orientation control assignment of the display screen from 1 to 0. When the orientation control assignment is 0, the display orientation of the display screen can be changed according to the application's requested orientation. When the orientation control assignment is 1, the display orientation cannot be changed according to the requested orientation.

[0011] The solution provided in this embodiment modifies the display orientation control permission of the display screen to the enabled state by calling the display rotation recovery class method before restoring the display rotation class, which helps to improve the success rate of controlling the display orientation of application windows.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, when it is determined that the forced display direction of the first application is different from the holding direction, drawing a mask animation includes: when it is determined that the forced display direction is different from the holding direction, obtaining window elements in the first window; laying out the window elements to obtain a layout image; adding a full-screen blur layer and animation attributes to the layout image to obtain a mask animation.

[0013] The solution provided in this embodiment draws a mask animation based on the window elements in the window. During the process of switching window forms by playing the mask animation, the animation effect of the mask animation matches the application, which helps to improve the user experience during the application window switching process.

[0014] In some optional embodiments, when it is determined that the forced display direction is different from the holding direction, obtaining window elements in the first window includes: when it is determined that the forced display direction is different from the holding direction, capturing the window image of the first window; and performing image recognition on the window image to obtain the window elements.

[0015] The solution provided in this embodiment obtains window elements based on image recognition of the window image, thereby improving the accuracy of window element acquisition.

[0016] In some optional embodiments, the window elements are laid out to obtain a layout image, including: obtaining the display screen size; and laying out the window elements according to the display screen size to obtain a layout image.

[0017] The solution provided in this embodiment lays out window elements according to the screen size of the display screen. The window elements in the layout image are adapted to the display screen, which helps to improve the user's viewing experience.

[0018] In some optional embodiments, the electronic device is equipped with an acceleration sensor. When a window switching operation is received, the holding direction of the electronic device is determined, including: when the window switching operation is received, the acceleration of the electronic device is collected based on the acceleration sensor; and the holding direction is determined based on the acceleration.

[0019] The solution provided in this embodiment detects the grip direction of electronic devices based on an accelerometer, thereby improving the accuracy of grip direction detection.

[0020] In some optional embodiments, the holding direction is the portrait holding direction, and the forced display direction is the forced landscape display direction.

[0021] The solution provided in this embodiment addresses the issue of abnormal animation during application window switching when the application's forced display direction is landscape and the electronic device is held in portrait mode. By drawing a mask animation and controlling the mask animation and rotation animation to play sequentially, the window's display direction is rotated after the application window's shape is updated. This suppresses the problem of abnormal animation effects caused by the coupling of window shape changes and display direction changes, thus improving the user experience during application window switching.

[0022] In some optional embodiments, the first window includes a full-screen button, and the window switching operation is a first click operation on the full-screen button of the first window. When the window switching operation is received, the holding direction of the electronic device is determined, including: when the first click operation is received, determining that the holding direction of the electronic device is a portrait holding direction.

[0023] The solution provided in this embodiment detects the holding direction when the window of an application with a forced display orientation is triggered to switch from split-screen display to full-screen display. This can suppress the problem of erroneous triggering of application window switching when the system has not received the user's window switching request, and is conducive to improving the control accuracy of application window switching.

[0024] In some optional embodiments, the second window includes a floating window button, and the window switching operation is a second click operation on the floating window button of the second window.

[0025] The solution provided in this embodiment detects the holding direction when the second window is triggered to display as a floating window, and the first window is triggered to switch from split-screen display to full-screen display. This can suppress the problem of erroneous triggering of application window switching when the system does not receive the user's window switching request, and is conducive to improving the control accuracy of application window switching.

[0026] In some optional embodiments, the application window switching method further includes: determining a first blank display content area when the first window is displayed in full screen in the portrait grip direction; and suspending the second window in the first blank display content area.

[0027] The solution provided in this embodiment displays the second window floating in the first blank display area of ​​the full-screen first window, allowing users to browse the display content of the first application and the second application simultaneously, further improving the user experience during application window switching.

[0028] In some optional embodiments, the holding direction is the landscape holding direction, and the forced display direction is the forced portrait display direction.

[0029] The solution provided in this embodiment addresses the issue of abnormal animation during application window switching when the application's forced display direction is portrait and the electronic device is held in landscape mode. By drawing a mask animation and controlling the mask animation and rotation animation to play sequentially, the window's display direction is rotated after the application window's shape is updated. This suppresses the problem of abnormal animation effects caused by the coupling of window shape changes and display direction changes, thus improving the user experience during application window switching.

[0030] In some optional embodiments, the first window includes a full-screen button, and the window switching operation is a third click operation on the full-screen button of the first window. When the window switching operation is received, the holding direction of the electronic device is determined, including: when the third click operation is received, determining that the holding direction of the electronic device is a landscape holding direction.

[0031] The solution provided in this embodiment detects the holding direction when the window of an application with a forced display orientation is triggered to switch from split-screen display to full-screen display. This can suppress the problem of erroneous triggering of application window switching when the system has not received the user's window switching request, and is conducive to improving the control accuracy of application window switching.

[0032] In some optional embodiments, the second window includes a floating window button, and the window switching operation is a fourth click operation on the floating window button of the second window. When the window switching operation is received, the holding direction of the electronic device is determined, including: when the fourth click operation is received, determining that the holding direction of the electronic device is a landscape holding direction.

[0033] The solution provided in this embodiment detects the holding direction when the second window is triggered to display as a floating window, and the first window is triggered to switch from split-screen display to full-screen display. This can suppress the problem of erroneous triggering of application window switching when the system does not receive the user's window switching request, and is conducive to improving the control accuracy of application window switching.

[0035] The solution provided in this embodiment displays the second window floating in the second blank display area of ​​the first window in full-screen display, allowing users to browse the display content of the first application and the second application at the same time, further improving the user experience during application window switching.

[0056] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0057] The following disclosure provides many different implementations or examples for carrying out different structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples; such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various implementations and / or arrangements discussed.

[0058] With the diversification of usage scenarios for electronic devices, electronic devices typically run multiple applications simultaneously. Each application opens a separate window on the screen of the electronic device, and each window displays the application interface of an application in a split-screen manner.

[0059] Currently, when an electronic device displays multiple windows, the window can be switched from split-screen display to full-screen display via the top menu bar of each window.

[0060] However, when the application's display orientation is a forced orientation (the forced display orientation does not change with the way the electronic device is held), and the forced display orientation is different from the way the electronic device is held, switching the application's window from split-screen to full-screen display via the top bar requires changing both the window's shape and display orientation simultaneously. This causes abnormal animation effects during window switching, such as stuttering, which reduces the user experience during application window switching.

[0061] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an application window switching method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The application window switching method is applied to an electronic device, which displays a first window of a first application and a second window of a second application on the electronic device's screen in a split-screen manner. When a window switching operation is received, the holding direction of the electronic device is determined. The window switching operation instructs the first window to be displayed in full screen. When it is determined that the forced display direction of the first application differs from the holding direction, a mask animation is drawn. The mask animation is used to adjust the window size of the first window to be the same as the screen size, and the call to the display rotation class is paused. The display rotation class is used to adjust the first window... This system rotates the window from the forced display orientation to the grip orientation, plays a mask animation, and then, upon completion of the mask animation, restores the display rotation class to ensure the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the grip orientation. This addresses the issue of abnormal animations during application window switching when the forced display orientation of the application differs from the grip orientation of the electronic device. By drawing a mask animation and controlling its sequential playback with the rotation animation, the window's display orientation is rotated after the application window's shape is updated. This suppresses the coupling between window shape changes and display orientation changes that can cause abnormal animations during window switching, thus improving the user experience during application window switching.

[0062] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] The application window switching method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to electronic devices. Electronic devices may include various terminal devices, which may also be referred to as terminals, user equipment (UE), mobile stations (MS), mobile terminals (MT), etc.

[0064] Terminal devices can include mobile phones, robot vacuum cleaners, drones, smart TVs, wearable devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), computers with wireless transceiver capabilities, virtual reality (VR) terminal devices, augmented reality (AR) terminal 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, and wireless terminals in smart homes. The type of terminal device is not limited here; it can be configured according to actual needs.

[0065] The software system of an electronic device can adopt a layered architecture, event-driven architecture, microkernel architecture, microservice architecture, or cloud architecture. This application uses the layered architecture Android system as an example to illustrate the software structure of an electronic device.

[0066] Please see Figure 1 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the software system of an electronic device according to an embodiment of this application. The software system includes several layers, each with a clear role and division of labor, and the layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom: the application layer, the application framework layer, the system library, and the kernel layer.

[0067] The application layer can include a series of applications, such as the system user interface (UI), camera, gallery, call, wireless local area network (WLAN), music, video, media provider, FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) file system, etc.

[0068] The MediaProvider is used to create or access multimedia files within the FUSE file system. Applications in the application layer can create or access multimedia files within the FUSE file system through the MediaProvider.

[0069] The FUSE file system is used to store multimedia files created by media providers. Of course, in other embodiments, the FUSE file system can also be used to store other data.

[0070] The application framework layer provides application programming interfaces (APIs) and programming frameworks for applications in the application layer. The application framework layer may include window manager classes, content providers, resource managers, view systems, package manager services (PMS), and activity manager services (AMS), etc.

[0071] The window management class can be used to call window management class methods to manage the application's application windows. Window management class methods are some predefined functions.

[0072] For example, window management classes can obtain the screen size, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, and capture the screen.

[0073] Window management classes can include multi-window animation classes (HnMultiWindowAnimation.java), basic animation scene classes (HnBasicAnimScene.java), activity task management service classes (HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java), display rotation classes (DisplayRotation.java), split-screen to freeform animation classes (HnSplitToFreeformAnimation.java), multi-window transition handler classes (MultiWindowTransitionHandler.java), window organization controller classes (WindowOrganizerController.java), window management service classes (WindowManagerService.java), and display content classes (DisplayContent.java), etc.

[0074] Window management methods can include methods such as `startSplitToFreeformAnimation` (to trigger the split-screen to freeform animation), `startSwitchWindow` (to switch windows), `rotationControlForMultiWinSwitch` (to control rotation during multi-window switching), `com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#pause` (to pause rotation), `processWindowSwitch` (to handle window switching), `switchWindowModeWithoutAnimation` (to switch between non-animated window modes), `startNewTransition` (to transition), `relayoutWindow` (to rearrange window), `updateRotation` (to update rotation), `updateRotationUnchecked` (to check for rotation update overflow), `startChangingAnimator` (to start mask animation), and `com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#resume` (to resume rotation).

[0075] Content providers store and retrieve data, making that data accessible to applications. This data can include videos, images, audio, phone calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, and more.

[0076] A view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text and controls for displaying images. View systems can be used to build applications. A display interface can consist of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text notification icon could include views for displaying text and views for displaying images.

[0077] The file explorer provides applications with various resources, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, and more.

[0078] The package management service, acting as a package manager service, is primarily responsible for installing, managing, and uninstalling applications on Android devices. It scans specified directories in the system to find files ending in APK, parses these files to obtain all application information, and stores it in packages.xml.

[0079] When a new application is installed, the package management service identifies all components of the application (such as Activities, Services, and Broadcast Receivers) and assigns appropriate permissions to these components. Simultaneously, the package management service monitors the status of installed applications to ensure their integrity and security.

[0080] The package management service also manages application DE (Device Encrypted) and CE (Credential Encrypted) data. The key for DE data is only available after a verifiable boot process has been performed on the system. CE data is encrypted using a key associated with user authentication (e.g., pattern, password), which is only available after the user has authenticated.

[0081] The application's CE directory may include the application's original UID. The package management service is used to execute the file management method in this embodiment.

[0082] The Activity Management Service, acting as the Activity Manager service, is primarily responsible for managing and tracking the activity tasks and lifecycle of all applications. When an application is opened, the Activity Management Service starts the application's process and allocates processor resources and memory to it. When the application is no longer in the foreground or background, or when system memory is insufficient, the Activity Management Service terminates or kills the application's process.

[0083] System libraries may include Surface Manager, Media Libraries, Android Rruntime, etc.

[0084] The Android runtime consists of the core libraries and the virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing the Android system. The core libraries comprise two parts: one part contains the functionalities that Java needs to call, and the other part consists of the Android core libraries. The application layer and application framework layer run in the virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer and application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object lifecycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0085] The Surface Manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides the blending of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

[0086] The media library supports playback and recording of various common audio and video formats, as well as still image files. It supports multiple audio and video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG.

[0087] The kernel layer can include modules such as audio driver, display driver, WiFi driver, Bluetooth driver, and sensor driver.

[0088] also, Figure 1 The document also illustrates a data layer associated with the software system, which stores user-preset data. For example, the data layer may pre-store data related to the privacy mode of an electronic device.

[0089] Understandable, Figure 1 The layers in the illustrated software structure and the components contained in each layer do not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device. In other embodiments of this application, the electronic device may include more or fewer layers than illustrated, and each layer may include more or fewer components; this application does not impose any limitations.

[0090] In one application scenario, such as Figure 2 As shown, the application layer may include the system user interface (System UI), and the window manager class may include the multi-window animation class (HnMultiWindowAnimation.java), the basic animation scene class (HnBasicAnimScene.java), the activity task management service class (HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java), the display rotation class (DisplayRotation.java), the window management service class (WindowManagerService.java), and the display content class (DisplayContent.java), etc.

[0091] The display rotation class (DisplayRotation.java), the window management service class (WindowManagerService.java), and the display content class (DisplayContent.java) can form the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).

[0092] The system user interface (UI) can be used to call the multi-window animation class (HnMultiWindowAnimation.java) and the basic animation scene class (HnBasicAnimScene.java), and through the multi-window animation class (HnMultiWindowAnimation.java) and the basic animation scene class (HnBasicAnimScene.java), it can call the activity task management service class (HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java).

[0093] The activity task management service class (HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java) can be used to call the display rotation class (DisplayRotation.java), window management service class (WindowManagerService.java), and display content class (DisplayContent.java) in AOSP.

[0094] Please see Figure 3 This document illustrates a flowchart of an application window switching method provided in one embodiment of this application. In a specific embodiment, the window switching method can be applied to electronic devices. The following example uses an electronic device to illustrate this method. Figure 3 The process shown is described in detail. The window switching method may include the following steps 101 to 106.

[0095] Step 101: Display the first window of the first application and the second window of the second application on the screen of the electronic device in a split-screen format.

[0096] In this embodiment of the application, when a user needs to split the first application and the second application into a single screen, the user can tap the first application, the split-screen button, and the second application on the display screen of the electronic device. The electronic device receives and responds to the user's tap operation and displays the first window of the first application and the second window of the second application in a split-screen format on the display screen.

[0097] The first application is a forced display orientation application, and the forced display orientation of the first application does not change with the direction in which the screen is held.

[0098] Forced display orientation can include forced landscape display orientation and forced portrait display orientation, etc., and grip orientation can include portrait grip orientation and landscape grip orientation, etc.

[0099] The second application is a non-forced display orientation application, and the display orientation of the second application changes with the way the screen is held.

[0100] Step 102: When a window switching operation is received, determine the holding direction of the electronic device.

[0101] In this embodiment of the application, when the user needs to display the first window in full screen, the user can perform a window switching operation on the display screen interface. The electronic device receives and responds to the window switching operation and determines the holding direction of the electronic device.

[0102] The window switching operation can be used to instruct the electronic device to display the first window in full screen. The window switching operation can be clicking the full-screen button of the first window, or clicking the floating window button of the second window, etc., and there is no limitation here.

[0103] When the first window is displayed in full screen by clicking the full-screen button, the second application is pushed to the background; when the second window is displayed in a floating window by clicking the floating window button, the first window is displayed in full screen.

[0104] In one application scenario, when an electronic device is held horizontally, the first application is a forced portrait-oriented application. The first window of the first application and the second window of the second application are displayed on the screen in a split-screen manner. The first window may include a full-screen button and a floating window button, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the window switching operation can be the click operation of clicking the full-screen button of the first window.

[0105] Specifically, the electronic device can be equipped with an acceleration sensor. When the user needs to display the first window in full screen, the user can switch windows on the display screen. The electronic device receives and responds to the window switching operation, collects the acceleration of the electronic device based on the acceleration sensor, and determines the holding direction of the electronic device based on the acceleration. The detection of the holding direction of the electronic device based on the acceleration sensor improves the detection accuracy of the holding direction.

[0106] The accelerometer can be any one of the following: capacitive accelerometer, inductive accelerometer, strain gauge accelerometer, piezoresistive accelerometer, or piezoelectric accelerometer; no specific limitation is made here.

[0107] In some implementations, the electronic device is held in a portrait orientation, the forced display orientation is a forced landscape orientation, the first window may include a full-screen button, and the window switching operation may be a first click operation on the full-screen button of the first window.

[0108] When a user needs to display the first window in full screen, they can click the full-screen button on the first window. The electronic device receives and responds to the first click. Based on the acceleration sensor, the system collects the acceleration of the electronic device and determines the holding direction of the electronic device as the portrait holding direction. When the window of an application that forces the display direction is triggered to switch from split-screen display to full-screen display, the holding direction is detected. This can suppress the problem of erroneous triggering of application window switching when the system has not received the user's window switching request, which helps to improve the accuracy of application window switching control.

[0109] In some implementations, the electronic device is held in a portrait orientation, the forced display orientation is a forced landscape orientation, and the second window may include a floating window button. The window switching operation may be a second click operation on the floating window button of the second window.

[0110] When a user needs to display the first window in full screen, they can click the floating button of the second window. The electronic device receives and responds to the second click, collects the acceleration of the electronic device based on the accelerometer, and determines the holding direction of the electronic device as the portrait holding direction based on the acceleration. The floating window of the second window is triggered to display. When the first window is triggered to switch from split-screen display to full-screen display, the holding direction is detected. This can suppress the problem of erroneous triggering of application window switching when the system does not receive the user's window switching request, which helps to improve the accuracy of application window switching control.

[0111] In some implementations, the electronic device is held in a landscape orientation, the forced display orientation is a forced portrait orientation, the first window may include a full-screen button, and the window switching operation may be a third click operation on the full-screen button of the first window.

[0112] When a user needs to display the first window in full-screen mode, they can click the full-screen button on the first window a third time. The electronic device receives and responds to the third click. Based on the acceleration sensor, the system collects the acceleration of the electronic device and determines the holding direction of the electronic device as the landscape holding direction. When the window of an application that forces the display direction is triggered to switch from split-screen display to full-screen display, the holding direction is detected. This can suppress the problem of erroneous triggering of application window switching when the system has not received the user's window switching request, and help improve the accuracy of application window switching control.

[0113] In some implementations, the electronic device is held in a landscape orientation, the forced display orientation is a forced portrait orientation, the second window may include a floating window button, and the window switching operation may be a fourth click operation on the floating window button of the second window.

[0114] When a user needs to display the first window in full screen, they can click the floating button of the second window a fourth time. The electronic device receives and responds to the fourth click, collects the acceleration of the electronic device based on the accelerometer, and determines the holding direction of the electronic device as the landscape holding direction based on the acceleration. The floating window of the second window is triggered to display. When the first window is triggered to switch from split-screen display to full-screen display, the holding direction is detected. This can suppress the problem of erroneous triggering of application window switching when the system does not receive the user's window switching request, which helps to improve the accuracy of application window switching control.

[0115] Step 103: When it is determined that the forced display orientation of the first application is different from the grip orientation, draw the mask animation.

[0116] In this embodiment of the application, when the electronic device determines that the forced display direction of the first application is different from the holding direction of the electronic device, a mask animation can be drawn.

[0117] Mask animation can be used to adjust the size of the first window to match the screen size of the display.

[0118] Specifically, when the electronic device determines that the forced display direction of the first application is different from the holding direction of the electronic device, it can obtain the window elements in the first window, lay out the window elements to obtain a layout image, and add a full-screen blur layer and animation attributes to the layout image to obtain a mask animation. The mask animation is drawn based on the window elements in the window. During the process of switching window forms by playing the mask animation, the animation effect of the mask animation matches the application, which helps to improve the user experience during the application window switching process.

[0119] Among them, the animation properties can be used to control the transparency, position movement, and deformation effects during the playback of the mask animation, and there are no restrictions here.

[0120] Electronic devices can capture the window image of the first window and perform image recognition on the window image to obtain window elements. Obtaining window elements based on image recognition of the window image improves the accuracy of window element acquisition.

[0121] Window elements can be display objects in the first window. Display objects can include text display objects and / or image display objects, etc., without limitation here.

[0122] Electronic devices can obtain the screen size and lay out window elements according to the screen size to obtain a layout image. The window elements in the layout image are adapted to the screen, which helps to improve the user's viewing experience.

[0123] Regarding the process by which the above-mentioned electronic device obtains the display screen size, in some embodiments, the electronic device can capture an image of the display screen and analyze the image to obtain the display screen size.

[0124] Regarding the process by which the electronic device obtains the display screen size, in some embodiments, the electronic device pre-stores the display screen size, and the electronic device can read the pre-stored display screen size.

[0125] Regarding the process by which the electronic device obtains the display screen size, in some embodiments, the electronic device can generate a prompt message and receive the display screen size uploaded by the user based on the prompt message.

[0126] The prompt message can be used to prompt the user to upload the display screen size to the electronic device. The prompt message can be at least one of the following: text prompt message, sound prompt message, or light prompt message, etc., without limitation.

[0127] Step 104: Pause the call to the display rotation class.

[0128] In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may pause the call to the display rotation class, which can be used to rotate the first window from the forced display direction to the holding direction.

[0129] In some implementations, the electronic device can call a display rotation pause class method, which updates the orientation control assignment of the display screen from 0 to 1. The electronic device pauses the call to the display rotation class. Before pausing the call to the display rotation class, the display orientation control permission of the display screen is modified to a disabled state by calling the display rotation pause class method. This helps to improve the success rate of suppressing the coupling between changes in the window shape of the application window and changes in the display orientation.

[0130] When the direction control value is 0, the display direction can be changed according to the application's requested direction; when the direction control value is 1, the display direction cannot be changed according to the requested direction.

[0131] As an example, the display rotation pause class method can be com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#pause, and the direction control assignment can be com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#mDeferredRotationPauseCount.

[0132] The default value for the direction control assignment is 0;

[0133] The default value of com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#mDeferredRotationPauseCount is 0.

[0134] In response to a call from an electronic device, com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#pause changes the value of com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#mDeferredRotationPauseCount from 0 to 1, thus disabling the display orientation control permission.

[0135] Step 105: Play the mask animation.

[0136] In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can play a mask animation to adjust the window size of the first window to be the same as the display screen size.

[0137] Specifically, the electronic device can call the mask animation launch class method, which controls the playback of the mask animation so that the window size of the first window is adjusted to be the same as the screen size after the mask animation finishes playing.

[0138] In one application scenario, when an electronic device is held horizontally, the first application is forced to be displayed in portrait orientation. The first window of the first application and the second window of the second application are displayed in a split-screen format on the screen. The electronic device calls a masked animation launch method, which adjusts the window size of the first window to match the screen size. Figure 5 As shown.

[0139] Step 106: When the mask animation finishes playing, restore the display rotation class so that the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the grip direction.

[0140] In this embodiment, when the mask animation finishes playing, the electronic device can call a display rotation class. The display rotation class rotates the first window from the forced display direction to the grip direction, so that the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the grip direction. This achieves the following: when it is determined that the forced display direction of the application is different from the grip direction of the electronic device during application window switching, by drawing a mask animation and controlling the mask animation and rotation animation to play in sequence, the display direction of the window is rotated after updating the window shape of the application window. This can suppress the problem of abnormal animation effects caused by the coupling of window shape change and display direction change, and improve the user experience during application window switching.

[0141] In some implementations, when the mask animation finishes playing, the electronic device can call the display rotation restore class method. The display rotation restore class method updates the orientation control assignment of the display screen from 1 to 0, and the electronic device resumes calling the display rotation class. Before resuming the call to the display rotation class, the display orientation control permission of the display screen is modified to the enabled state by calling the display rotation restore class method, which helps to improve the success rate of controlling the display orientation of application windows.

[0142] As an example, the display rotation recovery class method can be com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#resume, and the direction control assignment can be com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#mDeferredRotationPauseCount.

[0143] In response to a call from an electronic device, com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#resume changes the value of com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#mDeferredRotationPauseCount from 1 to 0, thus enabling the display orientation control permission.

[0144] In one application scenario, when an electronic device is held horizontally, the first application is forced to be displayed in portrait orientation. The first window of the first application and the second window of the second application are displayed in a split-screen manner on the screen. When the mask animation completes, the electronic device calls the display rotation restoration method to update the display orientation control value from 1 to 0, and then restores the display rotation class. The first window is then displayed in full-screen mode in the horizontal holding orientation. Figure 6 As shown.

[0145] In one application scenario, Figure 2 Based on the software system architecture of the electronic device shown, such as Figure 7 As shown, the application window switching method may include steps 201 to 219.

[0146] Step 201: The System UI displays the first and second windows on the screen in a split-screen manner.

[0147] Step 202: The System UI receives the window switching operation and calls startSplitToFreeformAnimation.

[0148] Specifically, System UI sends a window switching request to HnMultiWindowAnimation.java by calling startSplitToFreeformAnimation.

[0149] Step 203: HnMultiWindowAnimation.java calls startSwitchWindow.

[0150] HnMultiWindowAnimation.java forwards the window switching request to HnBasicAnimScene.java by calling startSwitchWindow.

[0151] Step 204: HnBasicAnimScene.java draws the mask animation.

[0152] Specifically, HnBasicAnimScene.java calls rotationControlForMultiWinSwitch to capture the window image of the first window, lays out the window elements in the first window image to obtain a layout image, adds a full-screen blur layer and animation attributes to the layout image to obtain a mask animation, and sends a pause request to HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java.

[0153] Step 205: HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java calls com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#pause.

[0154] Specifically, HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java calls com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#pause to change mDeferredRotationPauseCount from 0 to 1, thereby causing HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java to pause calls to DisplayRotation.java.

[0155] Step 206: HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java calls processWindowSwitch.

[0156] Specifically, HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java sends a window switching request to HnSplitToFreeformAnimation.java by calling processWindowSwitch.

[0157] Step 207: HnSplitToFreeformAnimation.java calls switchWindowModeWithoutAnimation.

[0158] Specifically, HnSplitToFreeformAnimation.java calls switchWindowModeWithoutAnimation to forward the window switching request to MultiWindowTransitionHandler.java.

[0159] Step 208: MultiWindowTransitionHandler.java calls startNewTransition.

[0160] Specifically, MultiWindowTransitionHandler.java sends the mask animation playback command to WindowOrganizerController.java by calling startNewTransition.

[0161] Step 209: WindowOrganizerController.java calls relayWindow.

[0162] Specifically, WindowOrganizerController.java sends a first display direction update request to WindowManagerService.java by calling relayWindow.

[0163] Step 210: WindowManagerService.java calls updateRotation.

[0164] Specifically, WindowManagerService.java forwards the first display direction update request to DisplayContent.java by calling updateRotation.

[0165] Step 211: DisplayContent.java calls updateRotationUnchecked.

[0166] DisplayContent.java determines that the display orientation of the first window will not be updated by calling updateRotationUnchecked.

[0167] Specifically, DisplayContent.java sets mDeferredRotationPauseCount to 1, indicating that the display orientation of the first window will not be updated.

[0168] Step 212: The System UI calls startChangingAnimator.

[0169] Specifically, System UI sends the mask animation playback command to HnBasicAnimScene.java by calling startChangingAnimator.

[0170] Step 213: HnBasicAnimScene.java plays the mask animation.

[0171] Step 214: When the mask animation finishes playing, HnBasicAnimScene.java calls rotationControlForMultiWinSwitch.

[0172] Specifically, HnBasicAnimScene.java sends a second display direction update request to HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java by calling rotationControlForMultiWinSwitch.

[0173] Step 215: HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java calls com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#resume.

[0174] Specifically, HwActivityTaskManagerServicesEx.java calls com.android.server.wm.DisplayRotation#resume to change mDeferredRotationPauseCount from 1 to 0 and sends a display orientation update command to DisplayRotation.java.

[0175] Step 216: DisplayRotation.java calls relayWindow.

[0176] DisplayRotation.java sends a second display direction update request to WindowManagerService.java by calling relayWindow.

[0177] Step 217: WindowManagerService.java calls updateRotationUnchecked.

[0178] Specifically, WindowManagerService.java forwards the second display direction update request to DisplayContent.java by calling updateRotation.

[0179] Step 218: DisplayContent.java calls updateRotationUnchecked.

[0180] Specifically, DisplayContent.java determines that mDeferredRotationPauseCount is 0 by calling updateRotationUnchecked, and then sends a display orientation update command to DisplayRotation.

[0181] Step 219: DisplayRotation rotates the first window from the forced display orientation to full-screen orientation for full-screen display.

[0182] The solution provided in this application displays a first window of a first application and a second window of a second application on the screen of an electronic device in a split-screen manner. When a window switching operation is received, the holding direction of the electronic device is determined. The window switching operation is used to instruct the full-screen display of the first window. When it is determined that the forced display direction of the first application is different from the holding direction, a mask animation is drawn. The mask animation is used to adjust the window size of the first window to be the same as the screen size, and the call to the display rotation class is paused. The display rotation class is used to rotate the first window from the forced display direction to the holding direction and play the mask animation. When the mask animation finishes playing, the call to the display rotation class is resumed so that the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the holding direction. This achieves the problem of abnormal animation effects caused by the coupling of window shape change and display direction change during application window switching. By drawing a mask animation and controlling the sequential playback of the mask animation and rotation animation, the display direction of the window is rotated after the window shape of the application window is updated. This can suppress the problem of abnormal animation effects during window switching caused by the coupling of window shape change and display direction change, and improve the user experience during application window switching.

[0183] Please see Figure 8 This document illustrates a flowchart of an application window switching method provided in another embodiment of this application. In a specific embodiment, the window switching method can be applied to electronic devices. The following example uses an electronic device to illustrate this method. Figure 8 The process shown is described in detail. The window switching method may include the following steps 301 to 308.

[0184] Step 301: Display the first window of the first application and the second window of the second application on the screen of the electronic device in a split-screen format.

[0185] Step 302: When the second click operation is received, determine the vertical screen holding direction.

[0186] Step 303: When it is determined that the forced landscape display direction of the first application is different from the portrait grip direction, draw a mask animation.

[0187] Step 304: Pause the call to the display rotation class.

[0188] Step 305: Play the mask animation.

[0189] Step 306: When the mask animation finishes playing, restore the call to the display rotation class so that the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in portrait grip direction.

[0190] In this embodiment, steps 301, 302, 303, 304, 305 and 306 can be referred to the contents of the corresponding steps in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0191] Step 307: Determine the first blank display content area when the first window is displayed in full screen in portrait orientation.

[0192] In this embodiment, the electronic device can determine the first blank display content area when the first window is displayed in full screen in the portrait grip direction, so as to display the second floating window in the first blank display content area.

[0193] The first blank display area can be an area in the first window that has no content or displays very little content.

[0194] In some implementations, the electronic device can capture a first screen image when the first window is displayed in full screen in the vertical grip direction, perform boundary detection on the graphic elements in the first screen image to obtain a first graphic boundary, determine a first blank area in the first screen image based on the first image boundary, and map the first blank area to the first window displayed in full screen in the vertical grip direction based on the pixel position of the first blank area to obtain a first blank display content area.

[0195] In some implementations, the electronic device can capture a first screen image when the first window is displayed in full screen in the portrait grip direction, analyze the first screen image to obtain the grayscale value of each pixel, determine a first blank area in the first screen image based on the grayscale value of each pixel, and map the first blank area to the first window displayed in full screen in the portrait grip direction based on the pixel position of the first blank area to obtain a first blank display content area.

[0196] Step 308: Float the second window over the first blank display content area.

[0197] In this embodiment, the electronic device can display the second window floating in the first blank display content area and the second window floating in the first blank display content area of ​​the full-screen first window, so that the user can browse the display content of the first application and the second application at the same time, further improving the user experience during the application window switching process.

[0198] The solution provided in this embodiment displays a first window of a first application and a second window of a second application on the display screen of an electronic device in a split-screen manner. When a second click operation is received, the vertical grip direction is determined. When it is determined that the forced horizontal display direction of the first application is different from the vertical grip direction, a mask animation is drawn, the call to the display rotation class is paused, and the mask animation is played. When the mask animation finishes playing, the call to the display rotation class is resumed, so that the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the vertical grip direction. The solution also determines the first blank display content area when the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the vertical grip direction, and floats the second window in the first blank display content area. This achieves the problem of abnormal animation effects during window switching when it is determined that the forced display direction of the application is different from the grip direction of the electronic device. By drawing a mask animation and controlling the sequential playback of the mask animation and the rotation animation, the window display direction is rotated after the window shape of the application window is updated. This can suppress the problem of abnormal animation effects during window switching caused by the coupling of window shape change and display direction change, and improve the user experience during application window switching.

[0199] The second window is displayed floating above the first blank display area of ​​the full-screen first window, allowing users to browse the content of both the first and second applications simultaneously, further enhancing the user experience during application window switching.

[0200] Please see Figure 9 This document illustrates a flowchart of an application window switching method provided in another embodiment of this application. In a specific embodiment, the window switching method can be applied to electronic devices. The following example uses an electronic device to illustrate this method. Figure 9 The process shown is described in detail. The window switching method may include the following steps 401 to 408.

[0201] Step 401: Display the first window of the first application and the second window of the second application on the display screen of the electronic device in a split-screen manner.

[0202] Step 402: When the fourth click operation is received, determine the landscape grip direction.

[0203] Step 403: When it is determined that the forced portrait display direction of the first application is different from the landscape grip direction, draw a mask animation.

[0204] Step 404: Pause the call to the display rotation class.

[0205] Step 405: Play the mask animation.

[0206] Step 406: When the mask animation finishes playing, restore the call to the display rotation class so that the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in landscape grip direction.

[0207] In this embodiment, steps 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, and 406 can be found in the corresponding steps in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0208] Step 407: Determine the second blank display content area when the first window is displayed in full screen in landscape orientation.

[0209] In this embodiment, the electronic device can determine the second blank display content area when the first window is displayed in full screen in the landscape grip direction, so as to display the second floating window in the second blank display content area.

[0210] The second blank display area can be an area in the first window that has no content or displays very little content.

[0211] In some implementations, the electronic device can capture a second screen image when the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the landscape grip direction, perform boundary detection on the graphic elements in the second screen image to obtain a second graphic boundary, determine a second blank area in the second screen image based on the second image boundary, and map the second blank area to the first window displayed in full-screen mode in the landscape grip direction based on the pixel position of the second blank area to obtain a second blank display content area.

[0212] In some implementations, the electronic device can capture a second screen image when the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the landscape grip direction, analyze the second screen image to obtain a second grayscale value for each pixel, determine a second blank area in the second screen image based on the second grayscale value of each pixel, and map the first blank area to the first window displayed in full-screen mode in the landscape grip direction based on the pixel position of the second blank area to obtain a second blank display content area.

[0213] Step 408: Float the second window over the second blank display content area.

[0214] In this embodiment, the electronic device can display the second window floating in the second blank display content area, and also display the second window floating in the second blank display content area of ​​the full-screen first window, allowing users to browse the display content of the first application and the second application simultaneously, further improving the user experience during application window switching.

[0215] The solution provided in this embodiment displays a first window of a first application and a second window of a second application on the display screen of an electronic device in a split-screen manner. When a second click operation is received, the portrait grip direction is determined. When it is determined that the forced landscape display direction of the first application is different from the portrait grip direction, a mask animation is drawn, the call to the display rotation class is paused, and the mask animation is played. When the mask animation finishes playing, the call to the display rotation class is resumed, so that the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the portrait grip direction. The solution also determines the second blank display content area when the first window is displayed in full-screen mode in the landscape grip direction, and floats the second window in the second blank display content area. This solution achieves the problem of abnormal animation effects during window switching when it is determined that the forced display direction of the application is different from the grip direction of the electronic device. By drawing a mask animation and controlling the sequential playback of the mask animation and the rotation animation, the display direction of the window is rotated after the window shape of the application window is updated. This can suppress the problem of abnormal animation effects during window switching caused by the coupling of window shape change and display direction change, and improve the user experience during application window switching.

[0216] The second window is displayed floating in the second blank display area of ​​the first window in full-screen mode, allowing users to browse the display content of the first and second applications simultaneously, further enhancing the user experience during application window switching.

[0220] The first calling module can be used to call the display rotation pause class method before the pause module 504 pauses the call to the display rotation pause class, so that the display rotation pause class method updates the orientation control assignment of the display screen from 0 to 1. When the orientation control assignment is 0, the display orientation of the display screen can be changed according to the application's requested orientation. When the orientation control assignment is 1, the display orientation cannot be changed according to the requested orientation.

[0221] In some implementations, the application window switching device 500 may also include a second calling module.

[0222] The second calling module can be used to call the display rotation recovery class method before the recovery module 506 calls the display rotation recovery class, so that the display rotation recovery class method updates the orientation control assignment of the display screen from 1 to 0. When the orientation control assignment is 0, the display orientation of the display screen can be changed according to the application's requested orientation.

[0228] The get sub-unit can be used to obtain the screen size; the layout sub-unit can be used to lay out window elements according to the screen size to obtain a layout image.

[0229] In some implementations, the electronic device may be equipped with an acceleration sensor, and the first determining module 502 may include a data acquisition unit and a first determining unit.

[0230] The acquisition unit can be used to acquire the acceleration of the electronic device based on the acceleration sensor when a window switching operation is received; the first determination unit can be used to determine the gripping direction based on the acceleration.

[0231] In some implementations, the holding direction can be the portrait holding direction, and the forced display direction can be the forced landscape display direction.

[0232] In some implementations, the first window may include a full-screen button, and the window switching operation may be a first click operation on the full-screen button of the first window. The first determining module 502 may also include a second determining unit.

[0233] The second determining unit can be used to determine, when the first click operation is received, that the holding direction of the electronic device is the vertical screen holding direction.

[0234] In some implementations, the second window may include a floating window button, and the window switching operation may be a second click operation on the floating window button of the second window. The first determining module 502 may also include a third determining unit.

[0235] The third determining unit can be used to determine, when the second click operation is received, that the holding direction of the electronic device is the vertical screen holding direction.

[0236] In some implementations, the application window switching device 500 may further include a second determining module and a first display module.

[0237] The second determining module can be used to determine the first blank display content area when the first window is displayed in full screen in the portrait grip direction; the first display module can be used to float the second window in the first blank display content area.

[0238] In some implementations, the grip direction can be a landscape grip direction, and the forced display direction can be a forced portrait display direction.

[0239] In some implementations, the first window includes a full-screen button, and the window switching operation can be a third click operation on the full-screen button of the first window. The first determining module 502 may also include a fourth determining unit.

[0240] The fourth determining unit can be used to determine, when a third click operation is received, that the holding direction of the electronic device is a landscape holding direction.

[0241] In some implementations, the second window may include a floating window button, and the window switching operation may be a fourth click operation on the floating window button of the second window. The first determining module 502 may also include a fifth determining unit.

[0242] The fifth determining unit can be used to determine, when the fourth click operation is received, that the holding direction of the electronic device is the landscape holding direction.

[0243] In some implementations, the application window switching device 500 may further include a third determining module and a second display module.

[0244] The third determining module can be used to determine the second blank display content area when the first window is displayed in full screen in the landscape grip direction; the second display module can be used to float the second window in the second blank display content area.

[0245] The solution provided in this embodiment displays a first window of a first application and a second window of a second application on the display screen of an electronic device in a split-screen manner. When a window switching operation is received, the holding direction of the electronic device is determined. The window switching operation is used to instruct the first window to be displayed in full screen. When it is determined that the forced display direction of the first application is different from the holding direction, a mask animation is drawn. The mask animation is used to adjust the window size of the first window to be the same as the display screen size, and the call to the display rotation class is paused. The display rotation class is used to rotate the first window from the forced display direction to the holding direction and play the mask animation. When the mask animation finishes playing, the call to the display rotation class is resumed so that the first window is displayed in full screen in the holding direction. This achieves the problem of abnormal animation effects caused by the coupling of window shape change and display direction change during application window switching.

[0288] Pressure sensor 680A is used to sense pressure signals and convert them into electrical signals. In some embodiments, pressure sensor 680A can be disposed on display screen 694. There are many types of pressure sensors 680A, such as resistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, and capacitive pressure sensors. A capacitive pressure sensor can consist of at least two parallel plates with conductive material. When force is applied to pressure sensor 680A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. Electronic device 600 determines the pressure intensity based on the change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to display screen 694, electronic device 600 detects the touch operation intensity based on pressure sensor 680A. Electronic device 600 can also calculate the touch position based on the detection signal from pressure sensor 680A. In some embodiments, touch operations applied to the same touch position but with different touch operation intensities can correspond to different operation commands. For example, when a touch operation with an intensity less than a first pressure threshold is applied to the SMS application icon, a command to view an SMS message is executed. When a touch operation with an intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold is applied to the SMS application icon, a command to create a new SMS message is executed.
