[0025] Exemplary embodiments are described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, identical numerals in different drawings represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure.

[0026] The method of exiting the target application in the embodiment of the present disclosure is described.

[0027] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for exiting an application according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a page of the target application corresponds to an activity. For example, the page played by the audio and video application corresponds to an activity played by the audio and video application. The activity has an activity cycle. When the user exits from the audio and video application to the desktop, the desktop will execute the exit animation of the current activity. After the exit animation is completed, the activity will execute the pause life cycle. The audio and video application will pause the audio and video during the pause life cycle of the playing activity. However, the animation will increase the time consumption during execution, which will result in a late pause life cycle of the playing activity, that is, the pause will not start until the exit animation is completed. Therefore, when the user exits from the audio and video application to the desktop, the sound of the audio and video application will be heard for a few seconds.

[0028] In the disclosed embodiment, when a user exits an audio or video application and returns to the desktop, the user automatically enters picture-in-picture mode, and a video is played in a small window in the lower right corner of the user's terminal desktop or elsewhere. Because the exit animation involves switching between the audio or video application and the desktop stack, and the terminal system does not support entering picture-in-picture mode during stack switching, it may not automatically enter picture-in-picture mode after the exit animation is executed.

[0029] In light of this, the present disclosure proposes an application control method. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when an electronic device detects an application exit and executes an exit animation, the target application's pause lifecycle is triggered during the exit animation, thereby prematurely pausing audio playback and resolving the issue of audio lingering caused by continued audio playback after the application exits.

[0030] In one embodiment, the application involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is an application that supports audio playback. For example, it can be an application that plays videos or music, and this disclosure does not limit this. For ease of description, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the application that supports audio playback and performs voice control is referred to as the target application.

[0031] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device can be understood as any device that can support the operation of the target application, for example, an electronic device such as a smart terminal.

[0032] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing an application control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes steps S11 to S12.

[0033] In step S11 , in response to the electronic device detecting that the target application exits and executes an exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the current interface display window of the target application is determined.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, exiting the target application may be triggered based on a preset operation, such as a gesture operation for closing the application, such as a swipe-up operation.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the electronic device detecting the exit of the target application, an exit animation is executed. The exit animation can be understood as an animation of exiting from the target application interface to the electronic device desktop interface, and the exit animation usually takes several seconds.

[0036] When the electronic device detects that the target application exits and executes the exit animation, determining the pause lifecycle of the current interface display window can be understood as determining that the Activity of the current target application interface will execute the pause lifecycle to ensure that the target application will pause its lifecycle during the pause lifecycle of the Activity playing on the current page.

[0037] In step S12, during the execution of the exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, during the execution of the exit animation, triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application can be understood as triggering the pause lifecycle of the current page Activity of the target application when the electronic device detects that the target application has exited and executes the exit animation, so as to achieve the audio pause of the application that supports audio playback.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the electronic device detecting that the target application has exited and executing the exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the current interface display window of the target application is determined. During the execution of the exit animation, triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application can be achieved through an advance pause interface (setPauseAdvancd), or other interfaces that can implement this function, which is not limited in this disclosure. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pause lifecycle of the current page of the target application is triggered through the first interface, that is, the current page of the target application will pause the audio playback during the pause lifecycle.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first interface is also used to record the application stack of the target application corresponding to this pause lifecycle, so as to avoid affecting the activity of the application when it is started next time. For example, when a user uses an electronic device and exits an application that supports audio playback, the system has triggered the pause lifecycle of the current page of the target application through the first interface. However, sometimes due to the user's fast operation, the user may click on the notification or automatically jump to the page in the background, causing the target application that the user exited to be re-called and returned to the interface at the time of exit. Therefore, when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered during the execution of the exit animation, the first interface will also record the application stack of the target application corresponding to this pause lifecycle, so as to avoid affecting the activity of the target application when it is started next time.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device detects the exit of the target application and executes the exit animation, thereby triggering the pause life cycle of the target application, thereby achieving the goal of the electronic device exiting the target application without leaving any sound.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, before triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application, it is necessary to determine whether the pause condition is met.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, before triggering the pause lifecycle of a target application, it is necessary to determine whether a pause condition is satisfied, and thus the pause lifecycle of the target application can be triggered through the first interface. The pause condition can be at least one of the following: the target application is not in multi-window mode and the target application is playing audio, or the target application is not in multi-window mode, or the target application is playing audio. The target application not being in multi-window mode can be understood as the target application not being in small window mode, or the target application not being in split-screen mode. If the user is in small window mode, then when the user attempts to trigger the target application to exit, the target application in small window mode will not exit. For example, if the user turns on the small window mode of the target application and swipes up on the electronic device screen, the small window mode of the target application remains on the electronic device screen. The target application playing audio can be understood as the target application supporting audio playback playing audio that is audible to the user. If the target application is playing audio but there is no sound, such as when it is muted, then when exiting the target application, there will not be a situation where the sound of the target application is heard 1-2 seconds after exiting the target application, or at other times.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, before triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application, it is determined that the pause condition is met, and the first interface can be called to trigger the pause lifecycle of the target application during the execution of the exit animation, so as to avoid the situation where the sound of the target application is heard 1-2 seconds after exiting the target application, or at other times.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the electronic device detecting that the target application exits and executes the exit animation, the electronic device will call an interface to make the target application enter the picture-in-picture mode, that is, after triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application, it determines to enter the picture-in-picture mode.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first interface can also be used to set the current page of the target application to enter picture-in-picture mode when the stack is switched. In response to determining that during the execution of the exit animation, if it is determined that the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered and the picture-in-picture mode needs to be executed, the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture is recorded. That is, if it is determined that the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered and the picture-in-picture mode needs to be entered during the execution of the exit animation, the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture is recorded.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a picture-in-picture mode (enterPictureInPictureMode) interface can be called in an electronic device, or other interfaces that can implement this function, which is not limited in the present disclosure. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the electronic device detecting that the target application that supports audio playback exits and executes the exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the current interface display of the target application that supports audio playback is determined, and based on the first interface, the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered during the execution of the exit animation. If it is determined that it is necessary to enter the picture-in-picture mode when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the second interface is called to record the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture. If it is determined that it is not necessary to enter the picture-in-picture mode when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, there is no need to record the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture, and after the exit animation of the target application is completed, it successfully returns to the desktop.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, based on determining that the picture-in-picture mode needs to be executed when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture is recorded, so that the target application can directly enter the picture-in-picture mode after the pause lifecycle, thereby improving the user's sense of use and experience.

[0049] In the disclosed embodiment, the picture-in-picture mode is entered based on the current application stack.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the electronic device detecting that the target application exits and executes the exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the current interface display window of the target application is determined, and during the execution of the exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered. In response to determining that the picture-in-picture mode needs to be executed when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture is recorded. Based on triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application and determining that the picture-in-picture mode needs to be executed when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the exit animation is executed. And after executing the exit animation, if there is a recorded current application stack, the current application stack is called back to control the application to execute the picture-in-picture mode. That is, it is queried whether there is a recorded current application stack. If there is a recorded current application stack, the current application stack is called back to control the application to execute the picture-in-picture mode, so that the target application that supports audio playback directly enters the picture-in-picture mode after exiting.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is queried whether there is a recorded current application stack. If there is a recorded current application stack, the callback of the current application stack can be achieved by resetting the early pause interface (unSetPauseAdvanced). It can also be other interfaces with the same function, which are not limited by the present disclosure. In response to the electronic device detecting that the target application exits and executes the exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the current interface display window of the target application is determined, and during the execution of the exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered. In response to determining that the picture-in-picture mode needs to be executed when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture is recorded. Based on triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application and determining that the picture-in-picture mode needs to be executed when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the exit animation is executed. After executing the exit animation, the third interface is called to query whether there is a recorded current application stack. If there is a recorded current application stack, the current application stack is called back to control the application to execute the picture-in-picture mode, so that the target application that supports audio playback directly enters the picture-in-picture mode after exiting. If there is no recorded current application stack based on the third interface query, after the exit animation is completed, the target application interface is directly returned to the desktop interface, and the sound of the target application interface will not remain on the desktop.

[0052] In the disclosed embodiment, based on querying the current application stack for existing records, the current application stack is called back to control the application to execute the picture-in-picture mode, thereby avoiding the problem of being unable to enter the picture-in-picture mode after the target application directly exits, and at the same time improving the user experience.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after executing the exit animation, the current application stack is cleared, that is, the application stack of the target application corresponding to this paused lifecycle recorded based on the setPauseAdvancd interface is cleared. Because the application stack of the target application corresponding to this paused lifecycle may be clicked on a notification or automatically jumped to a page in the background due to the user's fast operation, the target application exited by the user is re-called and returns to the interface at the time of exit. Therefore, in the setPauseAdvancd interface, after the paused lifecycle of the target application is triggered when executing the exit animation process, the application stack of the target application corresponding to this paused lifecycle is recorded, and after the exit animation is completed, the application stack of the target application corresponding to this paused lifecycle is cleared. This is to avoid the application stack of the target application corresponding to the paused lifecycle from being re-displayed, and to avoid the next startup of the target application's Activity being affected.

[0054] In the disclosed embodiment, clearing the current application stack after executing the exit animation can also be achieved through the unSetPauseAdvanced interface. That is, in the setPauseAdvancd interface, after the target application's pause lifecycle is triggered during the exit animation process, the target application's application stack corresponding to this pause lifecycle is recorded. After the exit animation is completed, the electronic device calls the unSetPauseAdvanced interface to clear the target application's application stack corresponding to this pause lifecycle. This prevents the target application's application stack corresponding to the pause lifecycle from being re-displayed and prevents the next launch of the target application's activity from being affected.

[0055] In the disclosed embodiment, the current application stack is cleared after the exit animation is executed, thereby preventing the application stack of the target application corresponding to the paused lifecycle from being redisplayed and avoiding other impacts, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the electronic device detecting that the target application has exited and executing the exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the current interface display window of the target application is determined. During the execution of the exit animation, triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application can be achieved through the setPauseAdvancd interface. The setPauseAdvancd interface is also used to record the application stack of the target application corresponding to this pause lifecycle to avoid affecting the next time the activity of the application is started. For example, when a user uses an electronic device and exits an application that supports audio playback, the system has triggered the pause lifecycle of the current page of the target application through the setPauseAdvancd interface. However, sometimes due to the user's fast operation, a notification may be clicked or the page may be automatically jumped in the background, causing the target application that the user exited to be re-called and returned to the interface at the time of exit. Therefore, during the execution of the exit animation, when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the setPauseAdvancd interface will also record the application stack of the target application corresponding to this pause lifecycle to avoid affecting the next time the activity of the target application is started. The setPauseAdvancd interface can also be used to set the current page of the target application to enter picture-in-picture mode when the stack is switched. That is, if the target application's pause lifecycle is triggered during the execution of the exit animation and the target application needs to enter the picture-in-picture mode, the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture mode is recorded. Furthermore, the interface that implements the above function can also be other interfaces that can implement this function.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the electronic device detecting that the target application supporting audio playback exits and executes the exit animation, the pause lifecycle of the current interface display of the target application supporting audio playback is determined, and based on the setPauseAdvancd interface, the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered during the execution of the exit animation. If it is determined that it is necessary to enter the picture-in-picture mode when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the enterPictureInPictureMode interface is called to record the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture. If it is determined that it is not necessary to enter the picture-in-picture mode when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, there is no need to record the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture, and after the exit animation of the target application is completed, it successfully returns to the desktop. Among them, the interface that implements the above function may also be other interfaces that can implement this function, and the present disclosure does not limit it here.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to determining that the picture-in-picture mode needs to be executed when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture is recorded. Based on triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application and determining that the picture-in-picture mode needs to be executed when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, the exit animation is executed. After executing the exit animation, the unSetPauseAdvanced interface is called to query whether there is a recorded current application stack. If there is a recorded current application stack, the current application stack is called back to control the application to execute the picture-in-picture mode, so that the target application that supports audio playback directly enters the picture-in-picture mode after exiting. If there is no recorded current application stack based on the query of the unSetPauseAdvanced interface, then after the exit animation is completed, it directly returns to the desktop interface from the target application interface, and the sound of the target application interface will not stay on the desktop. Among them, the interface that implements the above functions can also be other interfaces with the same functions, and the present disclosure does not limit it here.

[0059] The following embodiments of the present disclosure illustrate the application control method involved in the present disclosure with reference to examples.

[0060] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing an application control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal system provides two interfaces for the desktop application. After the terminal detects that the user triggers the instruction to exit the application, the terminal application starts to execute the exit animation. At this time, the setPauseAdvanced interface is called to trigger the pause lifecycle of the activity. The application in the pause state will pause its operation and playback. At the same time, the application stack of the early pause is recorded in the setPauseAdvanced interface to prevent the Activity from being redisplayed the next time the application is started.

[0062] In the disclosed embodiment, the desktop application needs to determine whether the pause condition is met before exiting the animation execution. If the pause condition is met, the setPauseAdvaned interface is called to make the application pause in advance and pause the playback of the application, for example, pausing the playback of audio and video applications. The pause condition can be that the application is playing audio and is not in multi-window mode, so as to avoid the application being in a silent state, consuming resources by following the optimization logic, and not going out of other modes such as split screen and small window mode. After determining that the pause condition is met, the playback of the application is paused to determine whether it is necessary to enter the picture-in-picture mode. If it is necessary to enter the picture-in-picture mode, it is determined in enterPictureInPictureMode whether it is an application page that is paused in advance. If it is a playback page that is paused in advance, the picture-in-picture process is not executed immediately, but the picture-in-picture process of the currently playing Activity is recorded.

[0063] In the disclosed embodiment, based on the fact that the picture-in-picture process of the current Activity has been recorded and the exit animation is completed, unSetPauseAdvanced is called to check whether there is a recorded picture-in-picture implementation process. If there is a picture-in-picture process, the current application interface enters the picture-in-picture mode, and the App stack that records the early pause in setPauseAdvanced is cleared.

[0064] In this disclosed embodiment, by triggering the pause lifecycle of the target application during animation execution, the scope of sound retention optimization is expanded, while retaining the function of some applications automatically entering picture-in-picture mode. At the same time, it avoids the logic of prematurely pausing the application when it is not playing audio, thus avoiding resource consumption and other impacts.

[0065] Based on the same concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an application control device 100 .

[0066] It is understandable that the application control device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function in order to realize the above functions. In combination with the units and algorithm steps of the various examples disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0071] In one embodiment, the determining unit 101 is further configured to: in response to determining that the picture-in-picture mode needs to be executed when the pause lifecycle of the target application is triggered, record a current application stack of the target application executing the picture-in-picture mode.

[0072] In one embodiment, the processing unit 102 is further configured to: after executing the exit animation, if there is a recorded current application stack, call back the current application stack to control the application to execute the picture-in-picture mode.

[0073] In one implementation, the processing unit 102 is further configured to clear the current application stack after executing the exit animation.
