Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic equipment technology, specifically relating to an information display method, apparatus, device, medium, and product. Background Technology

[0002] As user demands increase, more and more applications are installed on electronic devices, and each application consumes more and more memory. When an application is switched to the background, electronic devices often close the background application to ensure smooth operation of the foreground application. Therefore, when the user switches back to the application, it may be a cold start process. Depending on the size of the application and the initialization process, the cold start time can range from 1-2 seconds to as long as 10 seconds. Moreover, as the application becomes larger, the cold start time also increases.

[0003] To facilitate the application's cold start process, current solutions either involve a white or black screen transition, meaning the screen remains white or black until the first frame of the application's content is displayed; or a transition via an advertisement page or a specific image. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0013] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0014] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application's specification are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class, without limiting the number of objects; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects have an "or" relationship.

[0015] As applications on electronic devices become increasingly large, in order to ensure the smooth operation of foreground applications, electronic devices will close and switch to background applications. As a result, when users use the application again, they need to go through a cold start process.

[0016] For example, a user uses application A in the morning, then switches it to the background after a while and uses application B. To ensure application B runs smoothly, the electronic device will close application A after it was switched to the background. If the user wants to use application A again in the afternoon, application A needs to be restarted; that is, application A needs to undergo a cold start process. A cold start refers to the process of restarting an application after it is first opened or completely cleared from the background. At this time, the application process does not yet exist and needs to be loaded and run from scratch. Cold starts take a relatively long time, and the time required for a cold start increases as the application grows larger.

[0017] To facilitate the cold start process of an application, the current main approach is to use a white or black screen transition, meaning that the screen remains white or black until the first frame of the application's content is displayed; alternatively, an advertising page or specific images can be used for the transition.

[0018] The above methods cannot provide valuable information to users during the application's cold start period, resulting in low resource utilization efficiency.

[0019] Therefore, this application provides an information display method that can provide valuable information to users during the application cold start process, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0020] The information display methods, devices, equipment, media, and products provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an information display method provided in an embodiment of this application. This information display method can be applied to electronic devices with display functions, such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and wearable devices. Figure 1 As shown, the information display method may include the following steps: S110, Receive the first input to the first application.

[0022] S120. In response to the first input, before displaying the application content of the first application, display the first information; the first information includes at least one of the following: reminder information, context information of the first application within a historical time period.

[0023] In this embodiment of the application, during the startup process of the first application, contextual information and / or reminder information of the first application are displayed. Through the contextual information, users can understand the operation status of the first application within a historical time period. Through the reminder information, users can strengthen their memory of important information and avoid forgetting it. That is, this embodiment of the application makes full use of the startup time of the first application and displays valuable information to users within the startup time of the first application, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0024] The above steps are explained in detail below: In S110, the first application can be an application installed on the electronic device that the user currently wants to use. For example, the first application can be a social application, a video application, a game application, etc.

[0025] The first input is used to launch the first application. Exemplarily, the first input may include touch input from the user via a finger or stylus to the application icon of the first application, a voice command input by the user, a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasible inputs. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this application embodiment does not limit it. The specific gesture in this application embodiment can be any one of a single-click gesture, a swipe gesture, a drag gesture, a pressure-recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area-change gesture, a double-press gesture, or a double-tap gesture. The click input in this application embodiment can be a single-click input, a double-tap input, or any number of clicks, and can also be a long-press input or a short-press input. For example, the first input mentioned above can be: the user's click input on the application icon of the first application.

[0026] For example, when the first application is completely closed, that is, when the first application is not running in the background, the user can make the first input to the first application, thereby the electronic device can receive the user's first input to the first application.

[0027] In S120, the application content of the first application can be the first frame content of the first application. The first frame content of the first application is the interface content of the first application that the user sees for the first time after the first application is cold started.

[0028] The first information is the information displayed on the screen before the electronic device displays the application content of the first application, used to help the user get through the cold start process of the first application. In some embodiments, the first information may include reminder information, which may be information that the user sets that is easily forgotten, such as to-do list information or alarm reminders. Displaying reminder information can enhance the user's memory of important matters and prevent forgetting.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first information may include contextual information of the first application within a historical time period, which may be a time period prior to the current time. Taking an e-book as an example, assuming a user is reading Chapter 10, Page 100 of the novel "XX" in the morning, the first information may include "Chapter 10, Page 100 of XX," indicating that the user has already read up to Chapter 10, Page 100 of "XX." Thus, when the user restarts the e-book, they can continue reading from Chapter 10, Page 101, avoiding rereading or missing some content.

[0030] For example, if a user plays game A for an hour, including 5 rounds with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, then the win / loss information, the number of kills in each round, and the score can be presented to the user as the primary information during the next cold start of game A, allowing the user to understand the historical game situation.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first information may also include reminder information and contextual information of the first application within a historical time period, thereby increasing the diversity of displayed information and maximizing the user's experience with the application.

[0032] In practical applications, the primary information is not limited to the aforementioned reminders and contextual information; it can also include other information valuable to the user. For example, for tool-type applications such as MATLAB, it can also display the application's core functions and beginner guidance information.

[0033] In this embodiment, during the cold start process of the first application, that is, before displaying the first frame content of the first application, the electronic device can first display the first information. Through the first information, the user can obtain valuable information, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0034] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating another information display method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 and Figure 1 The difference is that, Figure 2 It also includes S210-S220.

[0035] S210, In response to the first input, obtain the first information.

[0036] In some embodiments, after receiving the first input, the electronic device can obtain the first information through application logs, memos, or other means. For example, the context information of the first application can be obtained through application logs, which record the time the user uses the first application and the user's specific usage information during that time. Therefore, the context information of the first application can be obtained through these application logs. As another example, the electronic device can obtain reminder information by viewing memos, alarm clock apps, or other similar means.

[0037] In some embodiments, taking the application of the information display method to the processor of an electronic device as an example, exemplarily, after receiving the first input, the processor can send a query request to the service platform, requesting the service platform to query whether the first information exists. The service platform can be integrated into the electronic device and can provide various services, such as context services and reminder services. The context service can provide application context information, and the reminder service can provide reminder information set by the user.

[0038] After receiving a query request, the service platform can distribute it to different services for querying. For example, the service platform can distribute the query request to the context service, which will query whether the context information of the first application exists. At the same time, the query request can be distributed to the reminder service, which will query whether the reminder information exists.

[0039] Context service and alert service can return query results to the service middle platform, which in turn returns them to the processor.

[0040] For example, if the first information exists, the service platform can send the first information to the processor, providing a basis for subsequent information display. For example, if the first information does not exist, the service platform can return an indication that the first information does not exist to the processor. After receiving the indication, the processor can adopt other transition schemes, such as displaying an advertisement page or a specific image.

[0041] S220. Before displaying the application content of the first application, display the first information.

[0042] For example, after an electronic device obtains the first information, it can display the first information before the first application is cold-started, using the time of the first application's cold start to provide valuable information to the user and improve resource utilization efficiency.

[0043] Taking the above information display method applied to the processing of electronic devices as an example, for instance, after the processor receives the first information returned by the service platform, it can send the first information to the display screen for display.

[0044] This embodiment obtains first information after receiving the first input and displays the obtained first information before the first application starts, which can provide valuable information to users and improve resource utilization efficiency.

[0045] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating another information display method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 and Figure 1 The difference is that, Figure 3 It also includes S310-S320.

[0046] S310. After the first frame content of the first application has been loaded, a transition animation is generated based on the first information and the first frame content of the first application.

[0047] Transition animations are used to connect the first frame of content in the first application, ensuring the continuity and spatial sense of the display and reducing the user's cognitive load. For example, the visual commonalities between two interfaces can be analyzed and used as the skeleton or bridge of the animation to generate a transition animation, achieving a seamless and logical transition from the initial information to the first frame content. The animation type of the transition animation can be selected according to actual needs; for example, fade-in / fade-out and displacement types can be used, where the initial information gradually fades out while elements of the first frame content of the first application slide in from below or the side.

[0048] In this embodiment, after the first frame of the first application is loaded, a transition animation is generated based on the first information and the first frame content, providing a basis for smooth switching of subsequent screens.

[0049] S320: Through a transition animation, the information displayed on the screen is switched from the first information to the first frame content of the first application.

[0050] For example, electronic devices can use transition animations to switch the information displayed on the screen from the first information to the first frame content of the first application, thereby enhancing the continuity of information display.

[0051] Taking the first information as an example, which includes the context information of the first application within a historical time period, the information display method may further include the following steps: If a user uses the first application within a historical time period, record the context information of the first application within that historical time period.

[0052] If a user is currently reading Chapter 10, Page 100 of the novel "XX" on an e-book, after finishing reading page 100, the electronic device can record "Chapter 10, Page 100 of XX". If the user continues reading and reaches page 101, after finishing reading page 101, the electronic device can update the recorded information, for example, it can update the recorded "Chapter 10, Page 100 of XX" to "Chapter 10, Page 101 of XX".

[0053] Taking the above information display method applied to a processor as an example, for instance, after reading page 100, the processor can send page 100 of chapter 10 of "XX" to the service platform for storage. After reading page 101, the processor can continue to send page 101 of chapter 10 of "XX" to update the context information of the e-book stored in the service platform.

[0054] For example, if a user is currently playing game A, after game A ends, the processor can send the game's win / loss information, the number of players in each game, and the score to the service platform. After receiving the context information sent by the processor, the service platform can forward it to the context service for storage. Subsequently, the service platform can retrieve the context information of the corresponding application from the context service.

[0055] This embodiment can automatically update the stored application context information based on application usage, so that when the application is launched again, the application's context information within the historical time period can be displayed, making it easier for users to understand past operations, reducing the mental cost of recalling information, and reducing the cognitive burden on users.

[0056] Taking the first information as including reminder information, and the reminder information including at least one of the following: to-do list information, alarm reminder information, for example, before S110, the information display method may further include the following steps: Receive the second input to the reminder switch control; Accordingly, the above-mentioned S120 may include the following steps: In response to the first input, a reminder message is displayed before the application content of the first application is shown.

[0057] The second input described above is used to open the reminder switch control. Exemplarily, the second input may include touch input from the user via a finger or stylus, a voice command, a specific gesture, or other feasible input. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this application embodiment does not limit it. The specific gesture in this application embodiment can be any one of a single-click gesture, a swipe gesture, a drag gesture, a pressure-recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area-change gesture, a double-press gesture, or a double-tap gesture. The click input in this application embodiment can be a single-click input, a double-tap input, or any number of clicks, and can also be a long-press input or a short-press input. For example, the second input described above can be: the user's click input on the reminder switch control.

[0058] For example, after receiving a second input from the user to the reminder switch control, the electronic device can turn on the reminder switch control. Subsequently, when receiving a first input from the user to the first application, the corresponding reminder information can be displayed before displaying the application content of the first application.

[0059] For example, the reminder switch control can be a control on the reminder information interface, which may include reminder information in addition to the reminder switch control.

[0060] Figure 4 An exemplary diagram of a reminder information interface is provided, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the reminder information interface 401 can include reminder information 402. For example, the reminder information 402 includes the to-do item information "Remember to buy dumpling wrappers before you leave work today, don't forget". In actual application, it can also include other to-do item information.

[0061] In addition to the reminder message 402, the reminder message interface 401 may also include a reminder switch control 403. The reminder switch control 403 is off by default. When the reminder switch control 403 is on, the electronic device can display the corresponding reminder message during the cold start process of an application. For example, during the startup process of application B, the electronic device can display "Remember to buy dumpling wrappers before leaving get off work today, don't forget."

[0062] In some embodiments, the reminder information interface 401 may further include reminder time setting information 404, which is used to set the reminder time of the reminder information 402, such as... Figure 4As shown, users can choose to receive reminders all day or during a specific time period. The start and end times of this time period can be set according to needs. For example, if a user sets the start time to 16:00 on October 10, 2025, and the end time to 17:00 on October 10, 2025, then the reminder message 402 will only be displayed when the user cold-starts an application between 16:00 and 17:00 on October 10. It will not be displayed at other times. This improves the flexibility of information display.

[0063] Figure 5 An exemplary diagram of a reminder information interface is provided, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the reminder information interface 501 can include reminder information 502. Taking alarm reminder information as an example, the reminder switch control 503 is off by default. When the reminder switch control 503 is turned on, the electronic device can display the corresponding reminder information during the cold start process of an application. For example, if the user sets the alarm for 7:35 AM, and assumes the user launches social application A at 7:30 AM, the electronic device can display an alarm reminder such as "The alarm will ring at 7:35 AM" during the startup process of social application A.

[0064] In some embodiments, the reminder information interface 501 may further include reminder time setting information 504, which is used to set the reminder time of the reminder information 502, such as... Figure 5 As shown, users can flexibly set the reminder period for reminder message 502. The start and end times of the reminder period can be set according to needs. For example, if the user sets the start time to 07:00 on weekdays and the end time to 07:35 on weekdays, then reminder message 502 will only be displayed when the user cold-starts an application between 07:00 and 07:35 on weekdays, and will not be displayed at other times. This improves the flexibility of message display.

[0065] This can enhance users' memory of important information and improve the efficiency of using reminder information.

[0066] In some embodiments, users can also add reminder information or delete existing reminder information as needed.

[0067] Taking the above information display method applied to a processor as an example, for instance, after the processor detects that the reminder switch control is turned on, it can send the corresponding reminder information to the service platform, which then forwards it to the reminder service. Alternatively, when the processor detects an update to the reminder information, it sends the updated reminder information to the service platform, which then forwards it to the reminder service. Subsequently, during a cold start of an application, the initial information can be obtained from the service platform and displayed to provide valuable information to the user.

[0068] In some embodiments, the information display method may further include the following steps: If the first application is switched from the foreground to the background and no switching input is received from the first application within a preset time, the first application is closed. The switching input is used to switch the first application from the background to the foreground.

[0069] The preset duration can be set as needed, for example, it can be set to 5 minutes. For example, when the user switches the first application from the foreground to the background, the electronic device can start timing. If the electronic device does not receive a switching input to switch the first application to the foreground within the preset duration, the electronic device can close the first application to ensure the smooth operation of the foreground application.

[0070] If a user wants to use the first application again after it is closed, they will need to go through a cold start process.

[0071] In this embodiment, if no input to switch to the foreground is received within a preset time after the first application is switched to the background, the first application is closed, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the foreground application.

[0072] The following is combined Figure 6 The role of the service platform in this embodiment will be explained.

[0073] S601, First application launched.

[0074] S602, First application in use.

[0075] S603, Context information update of the first application. Specifically, the processor sends the updated context information to the service platform 600, which then forwards the context information to the context service 601.

[0076] S604. Determine if the first application has been switched to the background. If yes, end the process; otherwise, return to execute S603.

[0077] S605, Reminder Information Update. The processor sends the updated reminder information to the service platform 600, which then forwards the updated reminder information to the reminder service 602.

[0078] In this embodiment, the service platform 600 is primarily responsible for managing the context service 601 and the reminder service 602. The context service 601 is responsible for maintaining the application's context information, and the application can update the context information to the context service 601 in real time during use. The reminder service 602 is primarily responsible for managing the reminder information set by the user, providing management functions such as adding or deleting reminder information.
