[0044] 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.

[0045] 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 terms can be used interchangeably 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, where "more" means at least two. 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 are in an "or" relationship.

[0046] The terms "at least one" and "at least one of" in this application's specification refer to any one, any two, or a combination of two or more of the included objects. For example, "at least one of a, b, and c" can mean "a", "b", "c", "a and b", "a and c", "b and c", and "a, b, and c", where a, b, and c can be single or multiple, and multiple means at least two. Similarly, "at least two" means two or more, and its meaning is similar to "at least one". The identifiers in this application are text, symbols, images, etc., used to indicate information, and can use controls or other containers as carriers for displaying information, including but not limited to text identifiers, symbol identifiers, and image identifiers.

[0047] The terminology used in the implementation section of this application is only for explaining specific embodiments of this application and is not intended to limit this application. The terminology involved in the embodiments of this application is explained below.

[0048] Controls: Elements in a graphical user interface that can receive user input to perform corresponding processing or display relevant data. Controls can include, but are not limited to, virtual buttons, sliders, progress bars, and checkboxes.

[0049] Interface: Refers to the medium through which users interact with electronic devices. The interface allows users to send commands to the system via input devices and receive feedback information via output devices. Input devices can be keyboards, mice, touchscreens, etc.; monitors, speakers, etc.

[0050] Application: An application is a computer program designed to perform one or more specific tasks. It runs in user mode, can interact with the user, and has a visual user interface.

[0051] Function icons are graphic symbols used in electronic devices to represent functional components. Function icons typically consist of simple, easily recognizable graphic elements and are usually used in conjunction with text descriptions to help users quickly understand and use the various functions of software or applications.

[0052] Desktop: The desktop on an electronic device is a user interface that users frequently use. The desktop may display app icons, function shortcuts, folders, widgets, cards, and other desktop components. These desktop components can refer to GUI applications and can be used to provide quick access to visual information and / or functions. Components, also called application components, are the basic building blocks of an application. Each component is a different entry point for the system to access the application, and each component helps define the overall behavior of the application. For example, a calendar widget can display the user's schedule. App icons such as camera app icons and contact app icons can provide quick access to the corresponding app. The aforementioned function shortcuts can be quick access points to one or more functions within an application. When the electronic device displays other user interfaces (such as the camera app's user interface), the electronic device can return to the desktop in response to an action on the home button. The home button can also be a physical button on the electronic device or a virtual button. Alternatively, the functions corresponding to the home button can also be implemented through gestures. For example, a gesture involving swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

[0053] In some embodiments, an electronic device may include various types of desktops. For example, a normal desktop, a negative one screen, and a scene desktop. For ease of understanding, some desktops involved in this application are described below.

[0054] A standard desktop: The area available for placing desktop components on a standard desktop is limited. The size of a standard desktop can be adapted to the size of the electronic device screen. The number of desktop components displayed on a standard desktop does not exceed the number of desktop components that the electronic device screen can display at one time. That is, the size of a standard desktop is fixed. If a standard desktop is full of desktop components, the electronic device needs to place other desktop components on other desktops. The electronic device can display one standard desktop on the screen at a time. In some embodiments, the electronic device can switch the standard desktop displayed on the screen in response to horizontal swiping operations (such as left swipe, right swipe). The above-mentioned standard desktop can also be called a regular desktop, traditional desktop, etc. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0055] Scene-based desktops: Scene-based desktops are home screen layouts and settings that adjust the displayed content based on the user's current usage scenario, task requirements, or environmental state. Scene-based desktops look similar to existing regular desktops, except that the existing wallpaper is replaced with a wallpaper generated based on the real environment in this solution. The wallpaper elements in the wallpaper correspond to real-world objects in the environment.

[0056] Blank area: A blank area refers to an area on the desktop where no objects are displayed, or an area in a folder on the desktop where no objects are displayed, such as icons, controls, components, or plugins.

[0057] It should be noted that the above icons refer to program icons for any type of application, including but not limited to: call, contact, SMS, and instant messaging programs. Alternatively, the above icons may refer to folder icons. Or, the above icons may refer to function icons, i.e., icons representing functions within an application, such as: payment programs have "receive money" and "pay money" icons; shopping programs have "order" and "scan" icons; and video programs have "search" and "share" icons.

[0058] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0059] Currently, on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, to facilitate efficient and quick access to system or application functions for various operations, new interactive methods and interface designs, including windows and pop-ups, have been added to the system user interface to house various shortcut functions, such as "sidebars" and "docks." Users only need to learn some new interactive gestures to access these new interfaces and quick access to shortcut functions on top of the traditional interface. Through these new interactive forms and interface designs, users can perform high-frequency, fragmented functional operations more efficiently and quickly compared to traditional interface interactions, simplifying the steps and better meeting their actual needs.

[0060] In related technologies, there are already many interactive solutions for quickly accessing system or application functions on mobile terminal devices. Most of them rely on the following two elements to implement the interactive interface:

[0061] First, by defining a new gesture operation that differs from existing ones, we can enable users to launch new interactive interfaces within an existing interface. For example, a sidebar interface can be launched by swiping and pausing from the side, effectively avoiding semantic overlap with the side-swipe-to-go-back gesture.

[0062] Second, design a pop-up window that floats above the existing interface to serve as an entry point for various quick functions.

[0063] However, the above two methods have the following problems:

[0064] First, new gesture controls require users to learn how to use them, and different users have vastly different learning abilities. Some users may find it difficult to master and become accustomed to a new interactive gesture. This is especially true for older users who already struggle to understand complex operation steps and need quick access to various functions; gesture controls are more difficult than click controls, resulting in a high learning curve.

[0065] Secondly, floating pop-ups or their variations are essentially object concepts that override the existing interface. It is difficult for users to establish a stable semantic connection between them and specific applications, functions, and their local interfaces within the existing interface. As a result, such interfaces lose the possibility of precise interaction with specific applications or functions, such as to-do lists and memos that are bound to specific applications.

[0066] The method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application embodiment can be applied to quick operation interaction scenarios.

[0067] The following examples illustrate the display method of the background application interface provided in this application embodiment using some specific scenarios.

[0068] Scenario 1: The user swipes up on the desktop to input, so that the electronic device can display the target background application and the language translation control associated with the target background application in the background application interface. The user can then input into the language translation control so that the electronic device can translate the page content displayed by the target background application.

[0069] Scenario 2: The user swipes up on the desktop to input, so that the electronic device can display the target background application and the file search control associated with the target background application in the background application interface. The user can then input into the file search control, so that the electronic device can display all files stored in the target background application in the background application interface.

[0070] It should be noted that the above scenarios 1 to 2 are merely exemplary examples of some scenarios that may be applied to the embodiments of this application. In actual implementation, the embodiments of this application can also be applied to any possible scenarios such as more quick interactions, and the embodiments of this application are not limited here.

[0071] Based on the above-mentioned scenarios applied in the embodiments of this application, the background application interface display method provided in the embodiments of this application can directly display the first shortcut function identifier, notification or to-do item associated with the target background application in the background application interface. Therefore, users can directly perform the operations they need on the target background application through the information displayed in the background application interface, without having to search for the shortcut function control they need in the application. This improves the efficiency of electronic devices performing shortcut operations.

[0072] The execution subject of the background application interface display method provided in this application embodiment is the background application interface display device. This device can be an electronic device, or a functional module or entity in an electronic device. This application embodiment does not limit this. The following will use an electronic device as an example to illustrate the background application interface display method provided in this application embodiment.

[0073] This application provides a method for displaying a background application interface. Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a background application interface according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application embodiment may include the following steps 201 and 202.

[0074] Step 201: The electronic device receives the first input.

[0075] In this embodiment of the application, the first input is the input that triggers the electronic device to display the background application interface.

[0076] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first input can be any of the following: click input, long press input, swipe input, or preset trajectory input, etc. The specific method can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0077] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may receive the first input in any application interface; or, the electronic device may receive the first input on a desktop.

[0078] For example, the first input mentioned above can be a user swiping their finger up from the bottom edge of the screen in a chat session interface.

[0079] Step 202: The electronic device responds to the first input and displays the background application interface.

[0080] In this embodiment of the application, the background application interface includes a first display area and a second display area; the first display area displays the application window of the target background application, and the second display area displays a first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item; the first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item displayed in the second display area is associated with the target background application displayed in the first display area.

[0081] Optionally, in this embodiment, the electronic device may display a first display area in the upper half of the background application interface and a second display area in the lower half of the background application interface; or, the electronic device may display a first display area in the left half of the background application interface and a second display area in the right half of the background application interface. The specific display area can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0082] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target background application can be an application that has recently been running on the electronic device.

[0083] Optionally, in this embodiment, the aforementioned first shortcut function identifier can be one or more. The specific identifier can be determined based on actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0084] Optionally, in this embodiment, the aforementioned notification can be one or more. The specific number can be determined based on actual usage requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0085] Optionally, in this embodiment, the aforementioned pending tasks can be one or more. The specific task can be determined based on actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0086] Optionally, in this embodiment, the background application interface may also display application windows of other applications running in the background of the electronic device. These other applications may be applications other than the target application running in the background of the electronic device.

[0087] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item displayed in the second display area is considered to be associated with the target background application displayed in the first display area if it meets at least one of the following conditions:

[0088] Semantically related to the currently displayed content within the application window of the target background application.

[0089] It relates to the functionality or functional extensions of the currently displayed functional controls within the application window of the target background application.

[0090] The application type is the same as the target backend application.

[0091] Used to view, edit, or manipulate the output files of the target background application.

[0092] Users pre-configure associated applications, associated functional controls, associated files, associated notifications, and / or associated to-dos for the target background application.

[0093] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second display area displays to-do items, which are associated with a target background application and include at least one of the following:

[0094] To-do items are set through the target backend application.

[0095] To-do items can be accomplished through the target backend application.

[0096] The to-do items are semantically related to the currently displayed content within the application window of the target background application.

[0097] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second display area includes a plurality of first shortcut function icons. When the second display area is in the first display state, the second display area is arranged side by side with the first display area, and some of the first shortcut function icons in the second display area are folded and hidden. When the second display area is in the second display state, the second display area overlaps with the first display area, and all the first shortcut function icons in the second display area are displayed in the background application interface.

[0098] For example, such as Figure 2A As shown, taking a mobile phone as an example, the phone displays a chat interface 10 with Xiaohong. This chat interface 10 includes chat messages: a voice message identifier 11 and an image 12. Then, the user can swipe their finger up from the bottom edge of the screen and release their finger, which is the first input mentioned above. Figure 2B As shown, at this time, the mobile phone can display the background application interface 13, which can display the application windows of other applications running in the background of the mobile phone and the application window 14 of the chat interface 10. The application window 14 of the chat interface 10 is displayed in the first display area 15 of the background application interface 13. At the same time, the mobile phone can display the real-time caption function icon 17 associated with the chat interface 10 and the chat application, and the to-do items 18: Reply to Xiaohong at eight o'clock tomorrow and notification 19: Xiaohong sent a message in the second display area 16 below the first display area 15.

[0099] For example, such as Figure 3As shown, taking a tablet computer as an example, the tablet computer can display a background application interface 13. This background application interface 13 can display application windows of other applications running in the background of the tablet computer and application window 14 of chat interface 10. The application window 14 of chat interface 10 is displayed in the first display area 15 of the background application interface 13. At the same time, the tablet computer can display the real-time caption function logo 17 associated with chat interface 10 and chat application, and to-do items 18: Reply to Xiaohong at 8 o'clock tomorrow and notification 19: Xiaohong sent a message in the second display area 16 below the first display area 15.

[0100] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the electronic device is a tablet computer, the user can input the application window of the target application so that the electronic device can display only the application window of the target application and the second display area corresponding to the target application in the background application interface.

[0101] For example, combined Figure 3 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the user can long-press the application window 14 of the chat interface 10 to input, so that the tablet can cancel the display of application windows of other applications running in the background of the tablet and display the application window 14 of the chat interface 10 in the central area of ​​the background application interface 13. The application window 14 of the chat interface 10 is displayed in the first display area 15 of the background application interface 13, and the real-time caption function logo 17 associated with the chat interface 10 and the chat application is displayed in the second display area 16 below the first display area 15. To-do items 18: Reply to Xiaohong at eight o'clock tomorrow and notification 19: Xiaohong sent a message.

[0102] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can enable the second display area to be in a second display state by the user inputting on the second display area which is in a first display state, and display all the first shortcut function icons in the background application interface.

[0103] For example, combined Figure 2B ,like Figure 5 As shown, users can swipe up in the second display area 16 to input information, so that the phone can display the shortcut function icons that are covered in the second display area 16 in the background application interface 13. All the first shortcut function icons may include: real-time caption function icon 17, AI image recognition function icon 20, real-time translation function icon 21, calculator function icon 22, search function 23, music recognition function 24, and file search function 25.

[0104] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may display N shortcut function icons in the first sub-area of ​​the second display area and M shortcut function icons in the second sub-area of ​​the second display area;

[0105] In this embodiment of the application, the above N shortcut function identifiers are identifiers of shortcut functions that match the page content of the currently displayed page of the target application; the above M shortcut function identifiers are identifiers of shortcut functions recommended based on the function of the target focused application; N and M are both positive integers.

[0106] It is understood that the aforementioned first shortcut function identifier may include N shortcut function identifiers and M shortcut function identifiers.

[0107] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first sub-region can be displayed below the first display area, and the second sub-region can be displayed below the first sub-region.

[0108] For example, combined Figure 5 ,like Figure 6 As shown, the mobile phone can display the real-time caption function identifier 17 and the AI ​​image recognition function identifier 20 in the first sub-area 161 of the second display area 16, and the real-time translation function identifier 21, the calculator function identifier 22, the search function 23, the music recognition function 24 and the file search function 25 in the second sub-area 162.

[0109] In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device displays at least one shortcut function icon in a partitioned manner, which enables users to quickly locate the shortcut function they need and improves the efficiency of finding shortcut functions.

[0110] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device displays a plurality of first shortcut function icons in at least one grid in the second display area.

[0111] In this embodiment of the application, when the first shortcut function identifier is a functional component, the first shortcut function identifier occupies at least two grids; or, when the first shortcut function identifier is a functional control, the first shortcut function identifier occupies one grid.

[0112] For example, the grid of the aforementioned quick function area can be based on 4-5 grids horizontally and an unlimited number of grids vertically.

[0113] For example, combined Figure 2B ,like Figure 7 As shown, the mobile phone can be represented horizontally by 4 grids and vertically by an infinite number of grids in the second display area 16.

[0114] In this embodiment of the application, when the first shortcut function identifier is displayed in the form of a component, it can carry more information to improve the efficiency of the interface.

[0115] In the background application interface display method provided in this application embodiment, the electronic device receives a first input; then, in response to the first input, it displays the background application interface; the background application interface includes a first display area and a second display area; the first display area displays the application window of the target background application, and the second display area displays a first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item; the first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item displayed in the second display area is associated with the target background application displayed in the first display area. In this solution, since the first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item associated with the target background application can be directly displayed in the background application interface, the user can directly perform the operation they need on the target background application through the information displayed in the background application interface, without the user needing to search for the shortcut function control they need in the application, thus improving the efficiency of the electronic device in performing shortcut operations.

[0116] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this embodiment of the application further includes the following steps 301 and 302.

[0117] Step 301: The electronic device receives the second input.

[0118] In this embodiment of the application, the second input is used to trigger the electronic device to switch the target background application and update the first shortcut function icon, notification or to-do item displayed in the second display area.

[0119] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second input can be a user's swipe input, preset trajectory input, or click input in the first display area. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0120] Step 302: In response to the second input, the electronic device switches the target background application in the background application interface to update the first shortcut function icon, notification or to-do item displayed in the second display area.

[0121] For example, combined Figure 2B ,like Figure 8A As shown, users can swipe left to input data in the first display area 15, such as... Figure 8B As shown, the mobile phone can display the application window 27 of the document application corresponding to left-swipe input in the first display area 15, and display the document map function icon 28, mind map function icon 29, voice broadcast function icon 30 and screen recording control 31 associated with the document application in the second display area 16.

[0122] In this embodiment, the electronic device can switch the target background application based on the second input of the user in the background application interface, and at the same time update the first function control identifier, notification or to-do item displayed in the second display area. This eliminates the need for the user to search for the function they need in other applications, thus improving the flexibility of the electronic device in displaying quick functions.

[0123] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first shortcut function identifier includes the first function control identifier of the target background application.

[0124] For example, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application embodiment further includes the following steps 401 and 402.

[0125] Step 401: The electronic device receives a third input for the identifier of the first function control in the background application interface.

[0126] In this embodiment of the application, the third input is used to trigger the electronic device to perform the function operation corresponding to the first function control identifier.

[0127] Optionally, in this embodiment, the third input can be a user's click input, long press input, swipe input, or preset trajectory input on the first functional control identifier. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0128] Step 402: The electronic device responds to the third input and executes the function operation corresponding to the first function control identifier through the target background application.

[0129] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may display the operation content corresponding to the first function control identifier in the display area of ​​the first function control identifier.

[0130] For example, such as Figure 9A As shown, when the target background application displays the meeting chat interface 32, the user can click on the meeting recording control 33 to input data, such as... Figure 9B As shown, the mobile phone can display the recording duration in the display area 34 of the meeting recording control 33.

[0131] In this embodiment, the electronic device can directly execute the function operation corresponding to the first function control identifier by the user inputting the first function control identifier, without the user having to search for the shortcut function control they need in the application, thus improving the efficiency of the electronic device to perform shortcut operations.

[0132] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first shortcut function identifier includes an application identifier of the associated application or a second function control identifier, wherein the second function control identifier belongs to the associated application; the associated application is an application different from the target background application.

[0133] For example, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application embodiment further includes the following steps 501 and 502.

[0134] Step 501: The electronic device receives the fourth input for the identifier of the first shortcut function control in the background application interface.

[0135] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fourth input can be a user's click, swipe, or preset trajectory input on the first shortcut function control identifier. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0136] For example, the fourth input mentioned above can be the user's click input on the identifier of the first shortcut function control.

[0137] Step 502: The electronic device responds to the fourth input by opening the associated application or performing the function operation corresponding to the second function control identifier through the associated application.

[0138] For example, combined Figure 5 ,like Figure 10A As shown, taking the calculator icon as an example, the user can click on the calculator icon 22 to input data, such as... Figure 10B As shown, this allows the phone to display the calculator app's main page 35 in the background application interface.

[0139] In this embodiment, the electronic device can directly access the shortcut function that matches the current scenario by having the user input the second shortcut function identifier, thereby improving the efficiency of the electronic device in executing shortcut functions.

[0140] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after step 202 above, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this embodiment of the application further includes steps 601 to 603 as described below.

[0141] Step 601: The electronic device obtains the currently displayed content within the application window of the target background application.

[0142] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can obtain the currently displayed content in the application window of the target background application based on the user's input of the shortcut function identifier.

[0143] It should be noted that the specific implementation process of step 601 above can be found in the following embodiments, and will not be repeated here to avoid repetition.

[0144] Step 602: The electronic device obtains at least one target information based on the currently displayed content.

[0145] In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can obtain at least one target information from the displayed content through the first model.

[0146] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target information includes at least one of the following: file, schedule, to-do list, geographic location, phone number, and contact person; the function operation corresponding to the first shortcut function identifier associated with the target information includes at least one of the following: AI, add schedule, add to-do list, location, navigation, make a phone call, send SMS, file editing, and file saving.

[0147] For example, the first model described above can be at least one of the following: a large language model, a neural network model, or an artificial intelligence (AI) model, etc. The specific model can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and this application embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0148] Step 603: The electronic device adds a first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item associated with the target information to the second display area based on the target information.

[0149] In this embodiment of the application, the first quick function identifier, notification or to-do item mentioned above is considered to be associated with the target information if it meets at least one of the following conditions.

[0150] The target information is semantically related to the function operation, notification, or to-do item corresponding to the first shortcut function identifier.

[0151] The implementation of the target information function requires the application corresponding to the first shortcut function identifier.

[0152] For example, combined Figure 2B ,like Figure 11A As shown, users can tap the application snapshot function 35 to input information, allowing the phone to perform content analysis on the currently displayed page content of the target background application based on algorithms, in order to identify key information such as: unrecorded schedules, to-do items, geographical location, and phone numbers. Figure 11B As shown, at this time, the original first quick function icon will disappear and be replaced by a dynamic operation area based on the page content, displaying the AI ​​dialogue function icon 40, the one-click add schedule function icon 41, the one-click add to-do item function icon 42, the navigation function icon 43, the make call function icon 44, the send SMS function icon 45, and the save screenshot function icon 46.

[0153] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can receive input from the user in the background application interface, so that the electronic device can perform page back, that is, cancel the display of the first shortcut function icon, notification or to-do item associated with the target information, and display the first shortcut function icon, notification or to-do item associated with the target background application.

[0154] In this embodiment, the electronic device performs content analysis on the page content of the currently displayed page of the target background application and displays a first shortcut function identifier, notification, or to-do item associated with the semantic information of the page content of the currently displayed page of the target background application. Without the user having to call other applications, the user can directly perform shortcut operations in the background application interface, thus improving the convenience of shortcut operations on the electronic device.

[0155] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, step 601 above can be specifically implemented by the following steps 601a and 601b.

[0156] Step 601a: The electronic device receives a fifth input for the first shortcut function identifier.

[0157] In this embodiment of the application, the function corresponding to the first shortcut function identifier is the application snapshot function.

[0158] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fifth input can be a user's click, swipe, or preset trajectory input on the first shortcut function icon. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0159] Step 601b: The electronic device responds to the fifth input and obtains the current display content in the application window of the target background application.

[0160] In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can take a screenshot of the application window of the target background application to obtain the currently displayed content within the application window of the target background application.

[0161] In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can obtain the currently displayed content in the application window of the target background application through the application snapshot mode, which improves the flexibility of the electronic device in obtaining application content.

[0162] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the function operation corresponding to the first shortcut function identifier includes creating a to-do item.

[0163] For example, after step 202 above, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application embodiment further includes step 701 below.

[0164] Step 701: The electronic device responds to user input, creates a first to-do item based on the to-do item information, and associates the first to-do item with the first application.

[0165] In this embodiment of the application, when the target application displayed in the first display area is the first application, the first to-do item is displayed in the second display area.

[0166] In this embodiment of the application, if the target application displayed in the first display area is an application other than the first application, the display of the first to-do item in the second display area is canceled.

[0167] It is understood that, prior to step 701 above, the embodiments of this application may also include user input of the function identifier for creating to-do items information, that is, the electronic device may receive user input of the function identifier for creating to-do items information and display an input box, and the user may input to-do items information in the input box.

[0168] Optionally, in this embodiment, the user input can be click input, swipe input, or preset trajectory input, etc., to create a function identifier for the user's pending task information. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0169] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the input box is a voice input box, the user input can be voice input; or, when the input box is a text input box, the user input can be text input.

[0170] It is understood that the electronic device responds to the eighth input, associates the reminder event information with the first focus application, and executes the reminder event corresponding to the reminder event information through the first focus application when the system time reaches the reminder time contained in the reminder event information.

[0171] For example, combined Figure 2B ,like Figure 12A As shown, the second display area 16 includes a to-do list component 50, which can display multiple to-do items and their completion status, reminder time, and other key information. Users can create a new to-do item by clicking the create button 51 within the component. Figure 12B As shown, the user then fills in a description of the to-do item and sets its reminder time and other attributes. Once the phone completes the creation, the to-do item will automatically be associated with the target background application and will only be displayed or prioritized in the to-do item component when the target background application is in focus. Next, as... Figure 12CAs shown, when a user swipes to switch target background applications in the background application interface, the to-do list displayed or prioritized in the to-do list component under different applications will change depending on the associated application. For example, the chat application displays "buy a cake at 9 o'clock", while the meeting application displays "meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow".

[0172] In this embodiment, the electronic device displays a first to-do item in association with a target background application, which allows users to easily create reminder events related to a target background application. This provides a more contextual way to remind users to complete a reminder event, resulting in a more concrete and vivid perception and improved task efficiency.

[0173] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target background application includes a second application with audio playback function, and the function operation corresponding to the first shortcut function identifier associated with the second application includes a recording function.

[0174] For example, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application embodiment further includes the following steps 801 to 804.

[0175] Step 801: If the target background application displayed in the first display area is the second application, the electronic device responds to the sixth input to the first shortcut function identifier to start recording the audio information output by the second application.

[0176] It is understandable that prior to step 801 above, the electronic device could receive a sixth input from the user regarding the first shortcut function identifier.

[0177] Optionally, in this embodiment, the sixth input can be a user's click, swipe, or preset trajectory input on the first shortcut function icon. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0178] For example, the sixth input mentioned above can be the user's click input on the first shortcut function identifier.

[0179] Step 802: The electronic device responds to the seventh input to switch the target background application displayed in the first display area to the third application, and updates the second display area to display the second shortcut function icon associated with the third application.

[0180] It is understandable that, prior to step 802 above, the electronic device can receive the seventh input from the user in the background application interface.

[0181] Optionally, in this embodiment, the seventh input can be a user's swipe input, long-press input, or preset trajectory input in the background application interface. The specific method can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0182] For example, the seventh input mentioned above can be a left swipe input by the user in the background application interface.

[0183] Step 803: The electronic device receives the eighth input for the second shortcut function identifier.

[0184] Optionally, in this embodiment, the eighth input can be a user's click input, long press input, or voice input of the second shortcut function icon. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0185] For example, the eighth input mentioned above can be a user's click input on the second shortcut function identifier.

[0186] Step 804: The electronic device responds to the eighth input and executes the function operation corresponding to the second shortcut function identifier while maintaining the audio information output by the recording second application.

[0187] It should be noted that the specific implementation process of step 804 above can be found in the following embodiments, and will not be repeated here to avoid repetition.

[0188] In this embodiment, users can conveniently perform complex parallel task interactions on electronic devices, while clearly defining the functional execution and control status of each task. This significantly expands the complexity boundary of task interactions on electronic devices and improves the processing efficiency of complex tasks.

[0189] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the third application is a file processing application, and the function operation corresponding to the second shortcut function identifier associated with the third application includes screenshot function, viewing function, or editing function.

[0190] For example, step 804 above can be implemented by step 804a as described below.

[0191] Step 804a: The electronic device continues to record the audio information output by the second application and takes screenshots, views or edits the files operated by the third application.

[0192] For example, such as Figure 13AAs shown, a user is using a video online course software 60 to learn and also needs to consult learning documents. When the online course application is in focus, the user clicks the screen recording button 61, and recording begins, affecting only the interface content of the online course application; simultaneously, the recording button changes to a stop button so the user can stop recording; special effects are displayed around the thumbnail of the online course application to indicate to the user that the application is currently being recorded, and then, as... Figure 13B As shown, users can switch to the document application to view learning documents. At this time, the screen recording is still limited to the audio and video signals of the online course application. Users can then click on the screenshot control 62 in the shortcut function area to capture the page of the document application in focus, without affecting the recording of the online course content.

[0193] In this embodiment, users can conveniently perform complex parallel task interactions on electronic devices, while clearly defining the functional execution and control status of each task. This significantly expands the complexity boundary of task interactions on electronic devices and improves the processing efficiency of complex tasks.

[0194] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the third application has an audio playback function or an audio call function, and the function operation corresponding to the second shortcut function identifier associated with the third application includes a recording function.

[0195] For example, step 804 above can be implemented by step 804b below.

[0196] Step 804b: The electronic device records the audio information output by the third application while simultaneously recording the audio information output by the second application, thereby achieving simultaneous recording of the audio information of the second application and the third application.

[0197] For example, combined Figure 13A ,like Figure 14A As shown, when the phone is recording its screen, the user receives an important phone call. After answering the call, the call interface 63 appears, and the audio volume of the online class is lowered or muted, but this does not affect the online class content being recorded in the background. Meanwhile, as... Figure 14B As shown, users can click the record button 64 in the quick access area to independently record the audio of the call. At this time, the phone will simultaneously capture two audio and video signals, and users can independently control the start and end of the recording.

[0198] In this embodiment, users can conveniently perform complex parallel task interactions on electronic devices, while clearly defining the functional execution and control status of each task. This significantly expands the complexity boundary of task interactions on electronic devices and improves the processing efficiency of complex tasks.

[0199] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the function operation corresponding to the first shortcut function identifier includes an information integration function.

[0200] For example, after step 202 above, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application embodiment further includes steps 901 to 903 as described below.

[0201] Step 901: If the target background application displayed in the first display area is the fourth application, the electronic device obtains the first information based on the current display content in the application window of the target background application and displays the first information identifier of the first information in the second display area.

[0202] It should be noted that the specific implementation process of obtaining the first information based on the currently displayed content in the application window of the target background application can be found in the above embodiments. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

[0203] Optionally, in this embodiment, the electronic device may display the first information identifier of the first information in a blank area of ​​the second display area; or, the electronic device may display the first information identifier of the first information in a preset display area of ​​the second display area. The specific display can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0204] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first information may include at least one of the following: bills, notes, documents, text messages, pictures, etc. The specific information can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0205] Step 902: The electronic device responds to user input to switch the target background application displayed in the first display area to the fifth application, and displays the first information identifier in the updated second display area; it obtains the second information based on the display content in the application window of the current target background application, and displays the first shortcut function identifier corresponding to the information integration function in the second display area.

[0206] It is understandable that, prior to step 902 above, the electronic device can receive user input in the background application interface.

[0207] For example, the user input mentioned above can be a swipe input by the user in the background application interface.

[0208] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second information may include at least one of the following: bills, notes, documents, text messages, pictures, etc. The specific details can be determined based on actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0209] Step 903: The electronic device responds to the input of the first shortcut function identifier to perform the information integration function of the first information and the second information.

[0210] For example, such as Figure 15A As shown, suppose a user wants to calculate the total cost of a trip they've taken so they can split the cost with a travel companion. These expense amounts are presented in different interfaces, such as two different payment applications. The user first takes a snapshot of a bill in the first payment application 70, at which point a widget 71 appears below the second display area 16, showing the bill and its amount that the electronic device has recognized and formatted. Then, as... Figure 15B As shown, the user switches to the second payment application 72 and takes another snapshot. This time, the transactions identified in the second payment application and the transaction set 73 identified in the first payment application are displayed. Figure 15C As shown, users can click to input data into the account set 73 displayed in the background application interface 13, such as... Figure 15D As shown, the phone can display the total bill in the background application interface through the card component 74, that is, the above bill totals 41.30 yuan, with two transactions.

[0211] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device receives user input regarding the statistical content of the set.

[0212] In this embodiment of the application, the user input is used to trigger the electronic device to store the first information and the second information.

[0213] Optionally, in this embodiment, the user input can be click input, long press input, or voice input, etc., of the statistical content of the collection. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0214] For example, the user input described above can be a selection of a portion of the statistical content of the set; or, the user input described above can be a selection of all the statistical content of the set.

[0215] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device stores first information and second information in response to user input.

[0216] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may store the first content in the public storage space of the electronic device.

[0217] For example, the aforementioned public storage space can be a hard drive.

[0218] In this embodiment, the electronic device can display collection statistics by triggering the display of the electronic device in the background application interface, without requiring the user to search for shortcut function controls in a specific application, thus improving the flexibility of the electronic device to perform quick operations.

[0219] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the function operation corresponding to the first shortcut function identifier associated with both the fourth and fifth applications includes an information organization window.

[0220] For example, after step 202 above, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application embodiment further includes steps 1001 to 1003 as described below.

[0221] Step 1001: If the target background application displayed in the first display area is the fourth application, the electronic device obtains the first information based on the current display content in the application window of the target background application, and displays the first information identifier of the first information in the information sorting window located in the second display area.

[0222] For example, combined Figure 8B ,like Figure 16A As shown, in the shortcut function area, users can click and input on the "File Window" control 75. Figure 16B As shown, this component will automatically filter and display the files saved by the focused application, showing them as folder icons in the information organization window 76. For example, when the user clicks the folder icon, the folder expands, and all the files saved by the application are displayed in a pop-up window. Among them, the user can easily view files downloaded by the browser, retouched images exported by a photo editing application, chat documents saved by an instant messaging application, documents edited and saved by a document editing application, etc.

[0223] Step 1002: The electronic device switches the target background application displayed in the first display area to the fifth application, and displays an information organization window in the updated second display area; it obtains the second information based on the display content in the application window of the current target background application, and displays the first information identifier and the second information identifier of the second information in the information organization window.

[0224] It's understandable that electronic devices can display information from different applications in a single information organization window.

[0225] Step 1003: The electronic device switches between displaying first information and second information based on user input, and / or categorizes or integrates the first information and the second information.

[0226] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can classify or integrate the first information and the second information using the first model described above.

[0227] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the aforementioned first shortcut function identifier includes a file window identifier for displaying relevant files of the target background application. The relevant files of the target background application include at least one of the following: files downloaded through the target background application; files obtained by taking screenshots through the target background application; files obtained by editing through the target background application; and files obtained by executing or saving through the target background application.

[0228] In this embodiment, the electronic device can use an information organization window to allow users to conveniently view files from specific sources, eliminating the difficulty of constantly searching in a file manager and greatly improving the efficiency of users in processing file content from specific sources.

[0229] For example, after step 202 above, the method for displaying the background application interface provided in this application embodiment further includes step 1004 below.

[0230] Step 1004: When the target background application is displayed in the first display area, the electronic device displays a file window identifier in the second display area; in response to the user's input of the file window identifier, the file window is opened to view the relevant files of the target background application.

[0231] Optionally, in this embodiment, the electronic device can view the relevant files of the target background application through a pop-up window; or, the electronic device can jump to the corresponding application to view the relevant files of the target background application. The specific method can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0232] In this embodiment, the electronic device can directly display almost all relevant files of the target background application based on the user's input of the file window identifier in the information organization window, eliminating the difficulty of constantly searching in the file manager and greatly improving the efficiency of the user in processing file content from a specific source.

[0233] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the target background application is displayed in the first display area, the second display area displays a file window identifier.

[0234] For example, the step 1004 above, "in response to the user's input of the file window identifier, open the file window to view the relevant files of the target background application", can be specifically implemented by the following step 1004a, and the display method of the background application interface provided in this application embodiment can also include the following steps 1005 to 1007.

[0235] Step 1004a: In response to the user's input of the file window identifier, if the target background application displayed in the first display area is the first application, the electronic device displays the file window identifier of the first application in the second display area; in response to the user's input of the file window identifier, the file window displays the relevant files of the first application.

[0236] It is understandable that electronic devices can display relevant files from the primary application in a file window.

[0237] Step 1005: The electronic device receives the ninth input.

[0238] Optionally, in this embodiment, the ninth input can be a swipe input, a preset trajectory input, or a long press input by the user in the background application interface. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0239] Step 1006: The electronic device responds to the ninth input by switching the target background application to the second application.

[0240] In this embodiment, the first display area displays the application window of the second application, and the second display area displays the file window identifier of the second application.

[0241] Step 1007: In response to the user's input of the file window identifier of the second application, the electronic device displays the relevant files of the second application in the file window of the second application.

[0242] In this embodiment, the electronic device can display a file window related to the target background application by switching the input of the target background application. This allows users to quickly find the relevant files of the currently selected target background application within the background application interface by switching file windows. Since the files displayed in the file window are all associated with the currently selected target background application, users can quickly switch between the corresponding files in the file window by switching the target background application, increasing the convenience of file searching and improving the user experience.

[0243] It should be noted that the above-described method embodiments, or the various possible implementations of the method embodiments, can be executed individually, or, provided there are no contradictions, they can be combined with each other. The specific implementation can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and this application embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0244] It should be noted that the background application interface display method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a background application interface display device. This application embodiment uses the execution of the background application interface display method by a background application interface display device as an example to illustrate the background application interface display device provided in this application embodiment.

[0245] Figure 17 This illustration shows a possible structural diagram of a display device for a background application interface involved in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 17 As shown, the display device 70 of the background application interface may include a receiving module 71 and a display module 72.

[0246] The receiving module 71 is used to receive a first input. The display module 72 is used to display a background application interface in response to the first input received by the receiving module. The background application interface includes a first display area and a second display area. The first display area displays the application window of the target background application, and the second display area displays a first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item. The first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item displayed in the second display area is associated with the target background application displayed in the first display area.

[0247] In one possible implementation, the above-described apparatus further includes a processing module. The receiving module 71 is also configured to receive a second input. The processing module is configured to, in response to the second input received by the receiving module 71, switch the target background application in the background application interface to update the first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item displayed in the second display area.

[0248] In one possible implementation, the first shortcut function identifier includes a first function control identifier of the target background application, and the device further includes a processing module. The receiving module 71 is further configured to receive a third input to the first function control identifier in the background application interface. The processing module is configured to, in response to the third input received by the receiving module 71, execute the function operation corresponding to the first function control identifier through the target background application.

[0249] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned first shortcut function identifier includes either an application identifier of an associated application or a second function control identifier, wherein the second function control identifier belongs to the associated application; the associated application is an application different from the target background application. The aforementioned receiving module 71 is further configured to receive a fourth input to the first shortcut function control identifier in the background application interface. The aforementioned processing module is further configured to, in response to the fourth input received by the receiving module 71, open the associated application or execute the function operation corresponding to the second function control identifier through the associated application.

[0250] In one possible implementation, the first shortcut function icon, notification, or to-do item displayed in the second display area is considered to be associated with the target background application displayed in the first display area if it meets at least one of the following conditions: semantically related to the currently displayed content in the application window of the target background application; related to the functional implementation or functional extension of the currently displayed functional control in the application window of the target background application; of the same application type as the target background application; used to view, edit, or manipulate the output file of the target background application; or associated applications, associated functional controls, associated files, associated notifications, and / or associated to-do items pre-set by the user for the target background application.

[0251] In one possible implementation, the second display area includes multiple first shortcut function icons.
