[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] First, let me introduce the terms used in this application:

[0040] Dual system: A single electronic device has two processors and two different systems. For example, an electronic device has a first processor and a second processor. The first processor runs a first system, and the second processor runs a second system. The system in a dual system can be understood as a program running on the processor, such as an operating system. In some embodiments, the first and second processors may be two separately packaged chips; in other embodiments, the first and second processors may be packaged in the same chip.

[0041] Deep sleep state: For chips, deep sleep is an ultra-low-power mode that electronic devices enter to save power. In some embodiments, deep sleep is a suspend-to-memory state. When an electronic device is in deep sleep, most of the central processing unit (CPU) and hardware processes are paused, device functionality is reduced, and network connections may also be lost. In some embodiments, only critical hardware of the electronic device can interrupt the deep sleep state, such as receiving a phone call or pressing the device's power button to wake the device and bring it out of deep sleep. Compared to normal standby, deep sleep can reduce battery consumption (power consumption) even more. In some embodiments, for dual-system electronic devices, deep sleep is a state that one or more systems can enter. In some embodiments, when one system of a dual-system electronic device enters a deep sleep state, its corresponding processor and hardware processes are paused, overall device functionality is reduced, and network connections for that system may also be lost.

[0042] Standby state: For chips, standby state is the state in which some electronic components of an electronic device are turned off, such as when no business is being processed. In some embodiments, some background processes can continue to run. In some embodiments, standby state can also be understood as hibernation state and / or sleep state. In some embodiments, when in standby state, the screen of the electronic device is off and the network connection is disconnected, allowing background tasks to run. For dual-system electronic devices, standby state is a state that one or more systems can enter. Therefore, when one system enters standby state, the other system can control the display device. In some embodiments, when one system of a dual-system electronic device enters standby state, that system disconnects from the network. For example, compared to deep sleep state, standby state turns off fewer system-related electronic components, and / or the power consumption of system-related electronic components in standby state is higher than in deep sleep state.

[0043] It should be noted that the deep sleep and standby states of different processors (e.g., chips) may be designed differently, and there are no specific restrictions on which modules are disabled and which are retained in deep sleep and standby states. Deep sleep and standby states can be understood as states that reflect different power consumption and wake-up times. For example, the power consumption in deep sleep state is higher than the power-off power consumption but lower than the standby power consumption; or, for example, the wake-up time in deep sleep state is shorter than the startup time in power-off state but longer than the wake-up time in standby state.

[0044] Wearable devices: Wearable devices are portable electronic devices worn directly on the user's body or integrated into the user's clothing or accessories, including but not limited to watches, bracelets, and rings. Wearable devices not only provide hardware but also offer powerful functions through the support of their built-in software (systems), combined with data interaction and cloud interaction. For example, wearable devices support monitoring health indicators, making and receiving phone calls, and providing information notifications.

[0045] Smartwatches: A smartwatch is a wearable device that combines the form factor of a watch with an intelligent system. Through its built-in system, processor, memory, and other components, a smartwatch can perform functions such as data processing, information display, and interactive control. For example, a smartwatch not only has the basic function of telling time, but can also synchronize calls, text messages, emails, photos, music, etc., from other electronic devices (such as mobile phones). It can also collect the user's activity and physiological data through various sensors (such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and heart rate sensors), and connect to mobile phones or other electronic devices via wireless communication technology to achieve functions such as message synchronization and health management.

[0046] The following describes the switching process between different system states:

[0047] In some embodiments, certain processors, while in deep sleep mode, retain only memory and disable other hardware. Therefore, when exiting deep sleep mode to boot the system and enter the running state, information can be loaded directly from memory. In contrast, completely shutting down the system (i.e., the system is in a power-off state) takes a longer time to restart. Thus, booting the system from deep sleep mode is faster than booting from a power-off state. Furthermore, since deep sleep mode disables more functions than standby mode, it consumes less power, although waking from deep sleep mode to the running state takes longer than waking from standby mode.

[0048] In a possible practical example, a wearable device includes a small-core processor and a large-core processor. The small-core processor can be a microcontroller unit (MCU), and the large-core processor is a central processing unit (CPU) with higher performance than the small-core processor. The small-core processor runs the embedded system (MCU system), and the large-core processor runs the Android system. When the wearable device is powered off, both the MCU system and the Android system are powered off. When the wearable device is powered on, the MCU system, due to its low power consumption, is usually always running, although it can sometimes be in standby mode. The Android system can switch between running, standby, deep sleep, and powered-off states. When the MCU system is running and the Android system is in a state other than running, the display of the electronic device is controlled by the MCU system; when both the Android system and the MCU system are running, the display of the electronic device is controlled by either the Android system or the MCU system.

[0049] By configuring an electronic device with a dual-system architecture, power consumption can be reduced through the collaboration of the two systems. For example, when the display screen of an electronic device is controlled by a lower-power first system, power consumption can be effectively reduced by putting the higher-power second system into standby or deep sleep mode. In this scenario, because the second system is in standby or deep sleep mode while the first system controls the display screen to show the user interface (UI), and it takes time for the second system to exit standby or deep sleep mode and for it to start an application, when an application from the second system is launched from the first system, it is necessary to wait for the second system to wake up and enter running mode before the application's startup animation and user interface can be displayed through the second system. This results in a longer response time to user operations and a poorer user experience.

[0050] The method provided in this application enables the display of a transition animation during the process of the first system waking up the second system to enter the running state in the aforementioned scenario. Since the transition animation can respond to operations that trigger the running of the application in the second system, it can respond to user operations before the application runs and displays its interface, thereby shortening the response latency and improving the user experience.

[0051] This application provides a method for playing transition animations, the method comprising:

[0052] When the first system is in a running state and the second system is in a non-running state other than a powered-off state, in response to a switching operation, the second system is woken up to enter the running state, the switching operation being used to trigger the running of the application in the second system; a transition animation is played by the first system at a time between a first moment and a second moment, the first moment being the moment when the second system is started to be woken up, and the second moment being the moment when the second system is finished to start running the application; in response to the completion of the transition animation, the application interface of the application is displayed by the second system, the application interface being the user interface obtained by the second system running the application in the running state.

[0053] In some embodiments, different switching operations have their own corresponding transition animations; the step of starting to play the transition animation through the first system at a time between the first time and the second time includes: determining the start time of the transition animation based on the playback duration of the transition animation corresponding to the current switching operation, wherein the start time is located between the first time and the second time; playing the transition animation through the first system at the start time, wherein the end time of the transition animation played at the start time and the playback duration is equal to or later than the second time.

[0054] In some embodiments, determining the start playback time of the transition animation based on the playback duration of the transition animation corresponding to the current switching operation includes: determining the first moment as the start playback time when the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to or greater than the wake-up duration, wherein the wake-up duration is related to the state of the second system; and / or, determining the start playback time as the moment after adding an extension time to the first moment when the playback duration of the transition animation is less than the wake-up duration, wherein the extension time is equal to or greater than the difference between the wake-up duration and the playback duration.

[0055] In some embodiments, determining the first moment as the start playback moment when the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to or greater than the wake-up duration includes: determining the first moment as the start playback moment when the second system is woken up from a first non-operating state to the operating state, and the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to or greater than the first wake-up duration; and / or, determining the first moment as the start playback moment when the second system is woken up from a second non-operating state to the operating state, and the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to or greater than the second wake-up duration; wherein the power consumption of the first non-operating state is higher than that of the second non-operating state, and the first wake-up duration of the first non-operating state is less than the second wake-up duration of the second non-operating state.

[0056] In some embodiments, determining the starting playback time as the time after adding an extension time to the first time includes: determining the starting playback time as the time after adding a preset extension time to the first time; wherein the preset extension time is equal to or greater than the difference between the wake-up duration and the target playback duration, and the target playback duration is the playback duration of the transition animation with the shortest playback duration among all transition animations.

[0057] In some embodiments, determining the start playback time as the time after adding an extended period to the first time includes: determining the duration difference between the wake-up duration and the playback duration; and determining the start playback time as the time after adding the duration difference to the first time.

[0058] In some embodiments, determining the duration difference between the wake-up duration and the playback duration includes: determining a duration difference system between a first wake-up duration and the playback duration when the second system is woken up from a first non-operating state to the operating state; and / or determining a duration difference system between a second wake-up duration and the playback duration when the second system is woken up from a second non-operating state to the operating state; wherein the power consumption of the first non-operating state is higher than that of the second non-operating state, and the first wake-up duration of the first non-operating state is less than the second wake-up duration of the second non-operating state.

[0059] In some embodiments, the method further includes: if the playback duration of the transition animation is less than the wake-up duration, determining the start playback time as the time after adding the extension time to the third time, wherein the third time is the time when the switching operation ends.

[0060] In some embodiments, the method further includes: displaying a system interface while the first system is in the running state and the second system is in the non-running state, the system interface including any user interface obtained by running the first system.

[0061] This application provides a method for playing transition animations, applied to an electronic device, the electronic device including a first system and a second system, the method including:

[0062] When the first system is in a running state and the second system is in a first non-running state other than a power-off state or a second non-running state, a transition animation is determined according to a switching operation; the start playback time of the transition animation is determined according to the playback duration of the transition animation and / or the state of the second system; the first system plays the transition animation when the start playback time is reached; wherein, the power consumption of the first non-running state is higher than that of the second non-running state, and the wake-up time of the first non-running state is less than that of the second non-running state.

[0063] In some embodiments, determining the transition animation based on the switching operation includes: determining the transition animation based on the type of the switching operation and / or the object of the switching operation; wherein the type of the switching operation includes one or more of the following: click, double click, swipe, long press, press once, press twice, rotate; and / or, the object of the switching operation is the display interface or hardware corresponding to the switching operation.

[0064] In some embodiments, the start playback time is later than or equal to the start wake-up time of the second system; and / or, the start playback time is earlier than or equal to a first preset time, and playing the transition animation within the first preset time meets the operation response speed requirements.

[0065] In some embodiments, determining the start time of the transition animation based on the playback duration of the transition animation and / or the state of the second system includes: determining the start time of the transition animation based on the playback duration of the transition animation and the wake-up duration corresponding to the state of the second system.

[0066] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a display transition animation process provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 1, when the first system is in a running state and the second system is in a non-running state other than a power-off state, the electronic device wakes up the second system to enter the running state in response to a switching operation that triggers the application running in the second system. Optionally, the non-running state includes a first non-running state and / or a second non-running state, for example, the first non-running state is a standby state and the second non-running state is a deep sleep state. After the second system switches to the running state, it starts running the application to draw / render the application interface, which is the user interface obtained by running the application. When the first system is in the running state and the second system is in the non-running state, the display screen of the electronic device is controlled by the first system, for example, it can display the system interface of the first system, which includes any user interface obtained by running the first system, such as a dial interface and the user interface of the application of the first system. After waking up the second system to enter the running state, the display screen of the electronic device can be controlled by the second system or the first system to display the application interface of the application in the second system. Optionally, the first system is run by a first processor and the second system is run by a second processor. The power consumption of the first non-operating state is higher than that of the second non-operating state, and the first wake-up duration of the first non-operating state is shorter than the second wake-up duration of the second non-operating state. In some embodiments, the first wake-up duration is the duration for waking the second system from the first non-operating state to the operating state, and the second wake-up duration is the duration for waking the second system from the second non-operating state to the operating state.

[0067] During the process of waking up the second system to run the application in the second system, the electronic device will play a transition animation through the first system between the first time 101 and the second time 102. Here, the first time 101 is the time when the second system begins to be woken up, and the second time 102 is the time when the second system is fully woken up and the application begins to run. The transition animation is played by the first system. Optionally, different switching operations have their own corresponding transition animations, and different transition animations have their own corresponding playback durations. For example, a switching operation implemented by swiping and a switching operation implemented by clicking correspond to different transition animations. Exemplarily, playing a transition animation between the first time 101 and the second time 102 includes, but is not limited to, the four cases shown in Figure 1: In the first case, the playback duration of the transition animation is longer than the wake-up time required to wake up the second system, in which case the transition animation can start playing at the first time 101. In the second case, the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to the wake-up time, in which case the transition animation can also start playing at the first time 101. In the third case, the duration of the transition animation is less than the wake-up duration. In this case, the transition animation can begin playing at a time after adding an extension period to the first time point 101. This extension period ensures that the end of the transition animation occurs at or after the second time point 102. In the fourth case, the duration of the transition animation is less than the wake-up duration. In this case, the transition animation can begin playing at a time after adding an extension period to the first time point 101. This extension period ensures that the end of the transition animation occurs at the second time point 102.

[0068] When the application in the second system is triggered to run while the second system is not in operation, the first system displays a transition animation. Since the transition animation can respond to the operation that triggers the application to run, and the transition animation is displayed during the process of waking up the second system to enter the running state, it can respond to user operations before the application runs and displays the application interface, thereby shortening the response latency to user operations and improving the user experience.

[0069] Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for playing a transition animation according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be used in electronic devices. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes:

[0070] Step 202: When the first system is in the running state and the second system is in a non-running state other than the shutdown state, in response to the switching operation, wake up the second system and enter the running state.

[0071] In some embodiments, the switching operation may include one or more actions, such as clicking which includes touching and releasing, and swiping which includes touching, moving and releasing. Therefore, it is possible that one action in the switching operation (such as clicking the touch application icon in the operation) triggers the wake-up of the second system, and another action (such as clicking the release touch screen in the operation) triggers the application running the second system. Of course, it is also possible that one action triggers the wake-up of the second system and the application running the second system, both of which are within the protection scope of this application.

[0072] The electronic device supports dual systems, comprising a first system and a second system. Optionally, the relationship between the first and second systems includes one or more of the following: the second system is more complex than the first system; the second system has more functions than the first system; the power consumption of the first system in its operating state is lower than that of the second system in its operating state; the power consumption of the first system in its operating state is higher than that of the first system in other states; and the power consumption of the second system in its operating state is higher than that of the second system in other states. Optionally, other states of the first system include one or more of standby, deep sleep, and power-off states. Other states of the second system include one or more of standby, deep sleep, and power-off states. In some embodiments, the aforementioned non-operating states can also be understood as low-power states or energy-saving states. Non-operating states are different from operating states and power-off states.

[0073] The following provides illustrative examples of different system states: In some embodiments, from an energy-saving perspective, the system's power consumption in the running state is higher than in the standby state, and the system's power consumption in the standby state is higher than in the deep sleep state, and the system's power consumption in the deep sleep state is higher than in the shutdown state. In some embodiments, the system's power consumption in the shutdown state is 0, but if a shutdown timer task is set, such as a shutdown alarm, the system's power consumption in the shutdown state is greater than 0. In terms of the functions provided by the system, the system provides more functions in the running state than in the standby state, and the system provides more functions in the standby state than in the deep sleep state, and the system provides more functions in the deep sleep state than in the shutdown state. For example, in terms of the activation status of the corresponding electronic components in the system, for some processors, the system has more electronic components activated in the running state than in the standby state, and the system has more electronic components activated in the standby state than in the deep sleep state, and the system has more electronic components activated in the deep sleep state than in the shutdown state. In terms of wake-up time, the wake-up time from standby to running state is shorter than that from deep sleep state, and the wake-up time from deep sleep state to running state is shorter than that from shutdown to running state. In some embodiments, in running state, the system-related hardware works normally; in standby state, most of the system-related hardware is shut down; in deep sleep state, most of the system-related hardware is shut down, providing only the most basic system functions; in shutdown state, all system-related hardware is shut down and power is cut off, or only scheduled task functions are provided.

[0074] In some embodiments, the running state is the state that provides the most functionality among the different states of the system, such as the state that provides all functions, and / or the state in which the most electronic components used to run the system are in the on state, and / or the state that supports the system running its corresponding application, such as the state that supports the system running its corresponding application in the foreground. The deep sleep state is the state in which the most electronic components of the second system are turned off, excluding the shutdown state. For example, the deep sleep state is a state that only maintains power supply to the memory corresponding to the second system and turns off power to other electronic components corresponding to the second system. For example, the shutdown state may turn off power to all electronic components corresponding to the second system, while in some embodiments, the deep sleep state will always maintain power supply to the memory corresponding to the second system so that the application can continue to run based on the information in the memory after the second system enters the running state. The number of electronic components turned off in the standby state of the second system is less than the number of electronic components turned off in the deep sleep state of the second system. For example, the standby state is a state in which the second system is disconnected from the network but can maintain the running of some background processes of the second system.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first system is an embedded system and the second system is a non-embedded system; for example, the first system is an MCU system and the second system is an Android system. It should be noted that the electronic device may support systems other than the first and second systems, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0076] Optionally, the electronic device includes a first processor and a second processor, with the first system running on the first processor and the second system running on the second processor. The relationship between the first processor and the second processor includes one or more of the following: the second processor has higher performance than the first processor; the second processor consumes more power than the first processor; the second processor consumes more power when running the second system than the first processor consumes power when running the first system; and the second processor has better energy efficiency than the first processor. In some embodiments, the first processor is an MCU and the second processor is a CPU.

[0077] When an electronic device is powered on, if the first system is running and the second system is not running, the display screen of the electronic device is controlled by the first system. If the first system is not running but the second system is running, the display screen of the electronic device is controlled by the second system. If both the first and second systems are running, the display screen of the electronic device is controlled by either the first system or the second system.

[0078] The switching operation is used to trigger the execution of applications in the second system. Applications in the second system include applications pre-installed on the electronic device and executed by the second system, and / or applications installed on the electronic device by the user and executed by the second system. Optionally, the file extensions of the applications in the second system are among those supported by the second system; for example, if the second system is Android, the application extension is .apk.

[0079] Since the application triggered to run is an application in the second system, and the second system needs to be in a running state to run applications, when the application is triggered to run, the electronic device wakes up the second system from a non-running state to a running state, thereby enabling the application in the second system to run. Optionally, the non-running state of the second system includes a first non-running state and / or a second non-running state, such as standby state and / or deep sleep state. The application triggered to run by the switching operation can be any application in the second system.

[0080] In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a wearable device, such as a smartwatch.

[0081] Step 204: Start playing the transition animation through the first system at the time between the first and second moments.

[0082] The first moment is the moment when the second system begins to wake up; that is, the first moment is the start moment when the second system is woken up from a non-running state to a running state. The second moment is the moment when waking up the second system to start running the application corresponding to the switching operation is complete. For example, the second moment can be the moment when waking up the second system from a non-running state to a running state is complete, or it can be the moment when the second system starts running the application corresponding to the switching operation. In some embodiments, since the interval between the moment when waking up the second system from a non-running state to a running state is short and the moment when the application corresponding to the switching operation starts running is started, these two moments can be regarded as the same moment.

[0083] The transition animation is provided by the first system and is preset in the first system. Optionally, the transition animation is an animation used to transition the system interface displayed by the first system to the application interface of the application. For example, if the switching operation is a swipe operation on the system interface, the transition animation could be an animation that slides the system interface out of the display area of ​​the screen and slides the application interface into the display area of ​​the screen. For example, if the switching operation is a click operation on the application icon in the system interface, the transition animation could be an animation that enlarges the application icon and switches the display of the application interface when the application icon is enlarged to a preset ratio. The system interface includes any user interface obtained by running the first system, such as a dial interface and the user interface of the application of the first system.

[0084] Optionally, different switching operations have their own corresponding transition animations, and different transition animations have their own corresponding playback durations. The types and / or objects of different switching operations are different. Optionally, the types of switching operations include one or more of the following: click, double-click, swipe, long press, press once, press twice, and rotate. Optionally, the objects of switching operations include the display interface and / or hardware corresponding to the switching operation. For example, a switching operation is an operation on the display interface of an electronic device's screen, and / or a switching operation is an operation on the physical buttons of an electronic device. For example, click and long press operations correspond to scaling transition animations, and swipe operations correspond to left and right swiping transition animations. The playback duration of the transition animation for a click operation is shorter than or the same as the duration of the transition animation for a long press operation. Furthermore, the transition animation for clicking an application icon in the user interface differs from the transition animation for clicking a component (widget) in the user interface; the transition animation for clicking a component (widget) in the user interface also differs from the transition animation for clicking an icon in the control center. Optionally, during the playback of the transition animation, the first system will determine the transition animation to be played in the preset transition animation based on the switching operation, and then start playing the determined transition animation at the time between the first moment and the second moment.

[0085] Step 206: In response to the completion of the playback transition animation, the application's interface is displayed through the second system.

[0086] The application interface is the user interface obtained by the second system running the application. The second system renders the application interface by running the application, thereby displaying the application interface through the second system. The moment when the transition animation finishes playing refers to the end time of the transition animation. In some embodiments, the end time of the transition animation is between the first and second moments. In some embodiments, the end time of the transition animation is after the second moment. In some embodiments, the end time of the transition animation is within the second moment.

[0087] In some embodiments, during the process of displaying the application interface through the second system, the electronic device transfers control of the display screen from the first system to the second system. For example, when it is necessary to display the application interface through the second system, control of the display screen is transferred to the second system.

[0088] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment displays a transition animation by the first system when an application in the second system is triggered to run while the second system is in a non-running state. Since the transition animation can respond to the operation that triggers the running application, and the transition animation is displayed during the process of waking up the second system to enter the running state, it can respond to user operations before the application is running and the application interface is displayed, thereby shortening the response latency to user operations and improving the user experience.

[0089] Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for playing a transition animation according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be used in electronic devices. As shown in Figure 3, the method includes:

[0090] Step 302: If the first system is in the running state and the second system is in either the first non-running state or the second non-running state other than the shutdown state, determine the transition animation based on the switching operation.

[0091] The electronic device supports dual systems, comprising a first system and a second system. Optionally, the first non-operating state is a standby state, and the second non-operating state is a deep sleep state. In some embodiments, the power consumption of the first non-operating state is higher than that of the second non-operating state, and the first wake-up time of the first non-operating state is shorter than the second wake-up time of the second non-operating state. The first wake-up time is the time required to wake the second system from the first non-operating state to the operating state, and the second wake-up time is the time required to wake the second system from the second non-operating state to the operating state.

[0092] The switching operation is used to trigger the running of applications in the second system. Different switching operations may have different types and / or objects. Optionally, the types of switching operations include one or more of the following: click, double click, swipe, long press, press once, press twice, and rotate. Optionally, the object of the switching operation includes the display interface and / or hardware corresponding to the switching operation. For example, the switching operation is an operation on the display interface of the electronic device's screen, and / or the switching operation is an operation on the physical button of the electronic device.

[0093] The transition animation is provided by the first system and is preset in the first system. Optionally, the transition animation is an animation used to transition the system interface displayed by the first system to the application interface of the application. For example, if the switching operation is a swipe operation on the system interface, the transition animation could be an animation that slides the system interface out of the display area of ​​the screen and slides the application interface into the display area of ​​the screen. For example, if the switching operation is a click operation on the application icon in the system interface, the transition animation could be an animation that enlarges the application icon and switches the display of the application interface when the application icon is enlarged to a preset ratio. The system interface includes any user interface obtained by running the first system, such as a dial interface and the user interface of the application of the first system.

[0094] Different switching operations have their own corresponding transition animations. Upon receiving a switching operation, the first system determines the corresponding transition animation from a set of preset transition animations. For example, a tap and a long press correspond to a scaling transition animation, while a swipe corresponds to a left-right swiping transition animation. The duration of the tap transition animation is shorter than or the same as the duration of the long press transition animation. The transition animation for tapping an application icon in the user interface also differs from the transition animation for tapping a component in the user interface; similarly, the transition animation for tapping a component in the user interface differs from the transition animation for tapping an icon in the control center.

[0095] Step 304: Determine the start time of the transition animation based on the playback duration of the transition animation and / or the state of the second system.

[0096] Different transition animations have their own corresponding playback durations, which may be the same or different. Once the transition animation corresponding to the switching operation is determined, its playback duration can be obtained. The state of the second system refers to whether the second system is in a first non-operating state or a second non-operating state before being woken up. In some embodiments, when determining the start playback time of the transition animation based on the state of the second system, the determined start playback time may be different for the second system in the first non-operating state and the second non-operating state.

[0097] In some embodiments, the start playback time is later than or equal to the start wake-up time of the second system. In some embodiments, the start wake-up time of the second system can be understood as the second moment. In some embodiments, the electronic device determines the start playback time of the transition animation based on the playback duration of the transition animation and the wake-up duration corresponding to the state of the second system. The process of determining the start playback time of the transition animation can be found in other embodiments, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0098] In some embodiments, the start playback time is earlier than or equal to a first preset time, and the first system plays the transition animation within the first preset time to meet the operation response speed requirements. Optionally, the first preset time corresponds to a preset duration, which is preset in the electronic device. When the electronic device receives a switching operation, it determines the time after adding the preset duration to the time when the switching operation is received as the first preset time, thereby playing the transition animation before or at the first preset time. For example, the electronic device starts playing the transition animation 50ms after receiving the switching operation.

[0099] In some embodiments, the end time of the transition animation should be controlled to be no earlier than the start of the application corresponding to the second system, so as to ensure that the application interface can be switched to after the transition animation finishes playing. The end time is the time when the transition animation ends when it is played according to the start time.

[0100] Step 306: The first system plays a transition animation when the start playback time arrives.

[0101] It should be noted that this embodiment can be implemented alone or in combination with the content of other embodiments, and this application does not limit it in this way.

[0102] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment displays a transition animation when the first system receives a switching operation that triggers the running of an application in the second system while the second system is in a non-running state. Since the transition animation can respond to the operation that triggers the running of the application, and since the transition animation is provided by the first system, it can be displayed during the process of waking up the second system to enter the running state. This allows for a response to user operations before the application runs and displays its interface, thereby shortening the response latency and improving the user experience.

[0103] Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for playing a transition animation according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be used in electronic devices. As shown in Figure 4, the method includes:

[0104] Step 402: When the first system is in a running state and the second system is in a non-running state other than a shutdown state, in response to the switching operation, wake up the second system and put it into a running state.

[0105] The electronic device supports dual systems, comprising a first system and a second system. Optionally, the non-operating states of the second system include a first non-operating state and / or a second non-operating state; for example, the first non-operating state is a standby state, and the second non-operating state is a deep sleep state. In some embodiments, the power consumption of the first non-operating state is higher than that of the second non-operating state, and the first wake-up time of the first non-operating state is shorter than the second wake-up time of the second non-operating state. The first wake-up time is the time required to wake the second system from the first non-operating state to the operating state, and the second wake-up time is the time required to wake the second system from the second non-operating state to the operating state.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first system is an embedded system, and the second system is a non-embedded system; for example, the first system is an MCU system, and the second system is an Android system. In some embodiments, the electronic device is equipped with a first processor and a second processor, with the first system running on the first processor and the second system running on the second processor. In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a wearable device, such as a smartwatch.

[0107] The switching operation is used to trigger the execution of applications in the second system. Different switching operations have different types and / or objects. Optionally, the types of switching operations include one or more of the following: click, double-click, swipe, long press, single press, double press, and rotation. Optionally, the object of the switching operation includes the display interface and / or hardware corresponding to the switching operation. For example, the switching operation is an operation on the display interface shown on the screen of the electronic device, and / or the switching operation is an operation on the physical button of the electronic device. Since the application triggered to run is an application in the second system, the second system needs to be in a running state to run the application. Therefore, when the application is triggered to run, the electronic device will wake up the second system from a non-running state to a running state, thereby enabling the application in the second system to run.

[0108] In some embodiments, when the first system is running and the second system is not running, the display screen of the electronic device is controlled by the first system. In this case, if the electronic device is in a screen-on state, it can display a system interface, which includes any user interface obtained by running the first system, such as a watch face interface and the user interface of the application of the first system. When both the first and second systems are running, the display screen of the electronic device is controlled by either the first or the second system. In this case, if the electronic device is in a screen-on state, it can display a user interface obtained by running the second system, such as the application interface of the aforementioned application.

[0109] Step 404: Determine the start time of the transition animation based on the playback duration of the transition animation corresponding to this switching operation.

[0110] The start playback time is located between the first time point and the second time point. Optionally, "between the first time point and the second time point" includes a time located between the first time point and / or the first time point and the second time point. The first time point is the time when the second system begins to wake up, that is, the first time point is the start time when the second system is woken up from a non-running state to a running state. The second time point is the time when the second system is woken up to start running the application corresponding to the switching operation, that is, the second time point is the completion time when the second system is woken up from a non-running state to a running state. The second time point can also be the time when the second system starts running the application corresponding to the switching operation. In some embodiments, since the interval between the completion time of waking up the second system from a non-running state to a running state and the time when the application corresponding to the switching operation starts running is short, these two times can be regarded as the same time point.

[0111] The transition animation is provided by the first system and is preset in the first system. Optionally, the transition animation is used to transition the system interface displayed by the first system to the application interface of the application. The system interface includes any user interface obtained by running the first system, such as a dial interface and the user interface of the application of the first system. The application interface is the user interface obtained by the second system running the application corresponding to the switching operation. For example, if the switching operation is a swipe operation on the system interface, the transition animation may be an animation that slides the system interface out of the display area of ​​the screen and slides the application interface into the display area of ​​the screen. For example, if the switching operation is a click operation on the application icon in the system interface, the transition animation may be an animation that enlarges the application icon and switches the display of the application interface when the application icon is enlarged to a preset ratio.

[0112] Different switching operations have their own corresponding transition animations, and different transition animations have their own corresponding playback durations. In some embodiments, the above correspondence is preset in the electronic device. Different switching operations are of different types and / or objects. For example, click operations and long press operations correspond to scaling transition animations, and swipe operations correspond to left and right swiping transition animations. The playback duration of the transition animation for a click operation is shorter than or the same as the playback duration of the transition animation for a long press operation. For example, the transition animation for clicking an application icon in the user interface differs from the transition animation for clicking a component in the user interface; the transition animation for clicking a component in the user interface also differs from the transition animation for clicking an icon in the control center. In some embodiments, the start playback time of the transition animation is determined based on the playback duration of the transition animation corresponding to the switching operation, so that the end playback time of the transition animation, which plays at the start playback time and playback duration, is equal to or later than the second time. The end playback time is the moment when the transition animation finishes playing, provided that the playback duration is equal to the start playback time.

[0113] Optionally, if the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to or greater than the wake-up duration, the electronic device determines the first moment as the start playback moment of the transition animation. This can be understood as the playback duration of the transition animation exceeding the time required to wake up the second system, thus ensuring that the second system has completed wake-up when the transition animation ends. If the playback duration of the transition animation is less than the wake-up duration, the electronic device determines the start playback moment as the moment after adding an extension time to the first moment. This can be understood as the playback duration of the transition animation being insufficient to wake up the second system, thus determining the moment after extending the first moment as the start playback moment of the transition animation, thus ensuring that the second system has completed wake-up when the transition animation ends. The wake-up duration is related to the state of the second system; it is the time required to wake the second system from a non-operating state to an operating state. For example, the wake-up duration of the second system in the first non-operating state is less than the wake-up duration of the second system in the second non-operating state. Optionally, the wake-up duration is determined by developers based on statistical results of multiple calculations of the time required to wake the second system from a non-operating state to an operating state, for example, the average of the statistical results. The extension time is equal to or greater than the difference between the wake-up time and the playback time.

[0114] For cases where the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to or greater than the wake-up duration: Optionally, the non-operating states of the second system include a first non-operating state and / or a second non-operating state. For example, the first non-operating state is a standby state, and the second non-operating state is a deep sleep state. When the second system wakes up from the first non-operating state to the operating state, and the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to or greater than the first wake-up duration, the electronic device will determine the first moment as the start playback moment. When the second system wakes up from the second non-operating state to the operating state, and the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to or greater than the second wake-up duration, the electronic device will determine the first moment as the start playback moment. Here, the first wake-up duration is the duration for the second system to wake up from the first non-operating state to the operating state. The second wake-up duration is the duration for the second system to wake up from the second non-operating state to the operating state. In some embodiments, the power consumption of the first non-operating state is higher than that of the second non-operating state, and the first wake-up duration of the first non-operating state is less than the second wake-up duration of the second non-operating state.

[0115] For transition animations where the playback duration is less than the wake-up duration: In one possible implementation, the electronic device determines the starting playback time as the time after adding a preset extension time to the first moment. The preset extension time is equal to or greater than the difference between the wake-up duration and the target playback duration, where the target playback duration is the shortest transition animation among all transition animations of the electronic device. That is, regardless of the type of switching operation corresponding to the transition animation, the time after adding the preset extension time to the first moment is always determined as the starting playback time. Since the preset extension time is equal to or greater than the difference between the wake-up duration and the target playback duration, for any transition animation corresponding to a switching operation, the starting playback time determined in the above manner ensures that the end playback time of the transition animation is located at or after the second moment. It should be noted that when the second system is woken up from the first non-operating state, the aforementioned wake-up duration refers to the first wake-up duration; when the second system is woken up from the second non-operating state, the aforementioned wake-up duration refers to the second wake-up duration.

[0116] In another possible implementation, the electronic device determines the duration difference between the wake-up duration and the playback duration, and determines the starting playback time as the time after adding the duration difference to the first time. In this case, the starting playback time determined in the above manner ensures that the end playback time of the transition animation is located at the second time. In some embodiments, the electronic device calculates the duration difference based on the wake-up duration and the playback duration each time it needs to obtain the aforementioned duration difference. In some embodiments, the electronic device obtains the duration difference based on the state of the second system and the playback duration each time it needs to obtain the aforementioned duration difference, without calculating the duration difference. Optionally, different combinations of states of the second system and different playback durations, as well as the duration differences corresponding to different combinations, are preset in the electronic device. Different states of the second system refer to the types of non-operating states of the second system.

[0117] Optionally, the non-operating states of the second system include a first non-operating state and / or a second non-operating state. For example, the first non-operating state is a standby state, and the second non-operating state is a deep sleep state. When the second system switches from the first non-operating state to the operating state, the electronic device determines the duration difference between the first wake-up time and the playback time as the duration difference used to determine the start playback time. When the second system switches from the second non-operating state to the operating state, the electronic device determines the duration difference between the second wake-up time and the playback time as the duration difference used to determine the start playback time. The power consumption of the first non-operating state is higher than that of the second non-operating state, and the first wake-up time of the first non-operating state is shorter than the second wake-up time of the second non-operating state.

[0118] In some embodiments, the electronic device can also determine the start time of the transition animation as a third moment, and / or the third moment plus an extended time. For example, if the playback duration of the transition animation is equal to or greater than the wake-up duration, the electronic device determines the start time of the transition animation as the third moment; and / or, if the playback duration of the transition animation is less than the wake-up duration, the electronic device determines the start time of the transition animation as the third moment plus an extended time. The third moment is located after the first moment and before the second moment, and is the moment when the switching operation ends. For example, if the switching operation is a swipe operation, and the swipe distance meets a distance threshold, it will trigger the wake-up of the second system to run the application. However, after triggering, the swipe operation may not have ended yet. In this case, the third moment is the end time of the swipe operation. For example, if the swipe operation is a finger sliding on the display screen, the third moment is the moment when the finger leaves the display screen after sliding. For example, the switching operation can be a click operation. A click operation can be clicking the display screen or clicking a physical button on an electronic device. When the click operation hits the area on the display screen that triggers the activation of the second system's running application, the second system's running application is activated. However, after activation, the click operation may not yet be complete; for example, the finger may not have left the display screen. In this case, the third moment is the end moment of the click operation, such as the moment the finger leaves the display screen after clicking. In some embodiments, the extension time for the third moment can be the aforementioned preset extension time, or it can be determined based on the difference between the duration of the third moment and the second moment and the playback duration of the transition animation. For example, the extension time can be equal to or greater than this difference.

[0119] Step 406: Play the transition animation at the start of playback using the first system.

[0120] After determining the start time of the transition animation, the first system controls the electronic device's display screen to begin playing the transition animation from that start time. As mentioned earlier, the end time of the transition animation is at or after the second time. Therefore, when the transition animation finishes playing, the second system is already awake and running, allowing it to control the electronic device's display screen and run the application to show the corresponding program interface.

[0121] For example, switching operations include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: swiping operations, such as switching the displayed user interface by swiping right; operations on physical buttons, such as tapping, long-pressing, or repeatedly pressing a physical button; tapping a widget in the watch face displayed on the electronic device; tapping the watch face displayed on the electronic device; long-pressing the watch face displayed on the electronic device; tapping a card button displayed on the electronic device; tapping a button in the control center interface displayed on the electronic device; tapping a notification message displayed on the electronic device; and tapping the icon corresponding to an application displayed on the electronic device.

[0122] Figure 5 is a timing diagram of the application interface of a display application provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 5, the first system is an MCU system, and the second system is an Android system. The first system runs on a small core, and the second system runs on a large core. The switching operation that triggers the running of the application in the Android system is a swipe operation. The playback duration of the transition animation corresponding to this switching operation is relatively long, longer than the wake-up duration. When a finger touches the display screen of the electronic device and begins to swipe to trigger the switching operation, the electronic device begins to wake up the Android system and starts launching the application in the Android system after the Android system is woken up. During this process, the screen is controlled by the MCU system. When a finger touches the display screen of the electronic device and begins to swipe, the electronic device immediately begins to play the transition animation through the MCU system, with the starting playback time being time 501. When the transition animation ends, the electronic device hands over control of the display screen to the Android system, thereby displaying the application interface obtained by the Android system running the application.

[0123] Figure 6 is a timing diagram of the application interface of a display application provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 6, the first system is an MCU system, and the second system is an Android system. The first system runs on a small core, and the second system runs on a large core. The switching operation that triggers the running of the application in the Android system is a click operation. The playback duration of the transition animation corresponding to this switching operation is short, less than the wake-up duration. When a finger clicks on a component area in the display screen of the electronic device to trigger the switching operation, the electronic device begins to wake up the Android system and starts the application in the Android system after the Android system is woken up. At the end time 601 of the click operation, for example, when the finger is released, the electronic device will start playing the transition animation through the MCU system at time 602, which is an extension time after time 601. This extension time is dynamically calculated based on the playback duration of the transition animation, and the calculated extension time will not affect the user's experience of the response speed when clicking the screen. In this case, the end time of the transition animation playback is after the time when the Android system is woken up. When the transition animation playback ends, the electronic device will hand over control of the display screen to the Android system, thereby displaying the application interface obtained by the Android system running the application.

[0124] Figure 7 is a timing diagram of the application interface of a display application provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 7, the first system is an MCU system, and the second system is an Android system. The first system runs on a small core, and the second system runs on a large core. The switching operation that triggers the running of the application in the Android system is a click operation. The playback duration of the transition animation corresponding to this switching operation is short, less than the wake-up duration. When a finger clicks on a component area in the display screen of the electronic device to trigger the switching operation, the electronic device begins to wake up the Android system and starts the application in the Android system after the Android system is woken up. At the end time 701 of the click operation, for example, when the finger is released, the electronic device will start playing the transition animation through the MCU system at time 702, which is an extension of time from time 701. In this case, the end time of the transition animation is the time when the Android system is fully woken up. When the transition animation ends, the electronic device will hand over control of the display screen to the Android system, thereby displaying the application interface obtained by the Android system running the application.

[0125] Step 408: In response to the completion of the transition animation, the application's interface is displayed through the second system.

[0126] The application interface is the user interface obtained by running the application in the second system's running state. By running the application, the second system can render the application interface and display it. As mentioned above, the end time of the transition animation is after the second moment, and / or the end time of the transition animation is within the second moment. Therefore, when the transition animation finishes playing, the application interface can be displayed through the second system.

[0127] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment displays a transition animation by the first system when an application in the second system is triggered to run while the second system is in a non-running state. Since the transition animation can respond to the operation that triggers the running application, and the transition animation is displayed during the process of waking up the second system to enter the running state, it can respond to user operations before the application is running and the application interface is displayed, thereby shortening the response latency to user operations and improving the user experience.

[0128] The method provided in this embodiment further enhances the user experience by setting different transition animation playback durations for different scenarios (e.g., switching operations) and selecting the timing (start playback time) of the transition animation playback based on its duration. This allows for a seamless transition effect when switching from the first system to the second system by playing a transition animation to respond to user actions before waking up the second system to display the application interface, thus improving the system switching effect and achieving an optimal user experience. By setting the wake-up duration to select the timing of the transition animation playback, it is ensured that the end time of the transition animation playback is always either at or after the completion of waking up the second system. By playing the transition animation with extended time, even with a shorter transition animation duration, it is possible to ensure that the end time of the transition animation playback is always either at or after the completion of waking up the second system, further improving the user experience.

[0129] It should be noted that this application may display prompt interfaces, pop-ups, or output voice prompts before and during the collection of user data. These prompt interfaces, pop-ups, or voice prompts are used to inform the user that their data is being collected. This ensures that the application only begins the steps for collecting user data after receiving confirmation from the user regarding the prompt interface or pop-up; otherwise (i.e., without user confirmation), the steps for collecting user data end, meaning no user data is collected. In other words, all user data collected in this application is collected with the user's consent and authorization, and the collection, use, and processing of related user data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards of the relevant countries and regions.

[0130] It should be noted that the order of the method steps provided in the embodiments of this application can be appropriately adjusted, and the steps can also be added or removed as appropriate. Any method variations that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the protection scope of this application, and therefore will not be elaborated further.

[0131] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of a transition animation playback device provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 8, the device includes:

[0132] The switching module 801 is used to wake up the second system and put it into the running state in response to a switching operation when the first system is in the running state and the second system is in a non-running state other than the shutdown state. The switching operation is used to trigger the running of the application in the second system.

[0133] Display module 802 is configured to start playing a transition animation through the first system at a time between a first moment and a second moment, wherein the first moment is the moment when the second system is started to be woken up, and the second moment is the moment when the second system is finished to be woken up to start running the application;
