Mini App Switching via In-Context Display and Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing mini app switching method is cumbersome and inefficient, requiring users to exit the current mini app, navigate to find the target mini app, and then open it, leading to a single and time-consuming process.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for mini app switching that involves receiving a first input for the current mini app, displaying mini app display information, receiving a second input for the target mini app, and switching to the target mini app without exiting the current mini app, thereby simplifying the switching process and improving efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the traditional mini app switching method is used, then the mini app can be switched between different applications, but the switching process is cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by displaying mini app display information (such as icons or names) in advance within the current mini app interface before the user needs to switch. This allows the user to quickly select and switch to a target mini app without having to navigate back to the parent application, thereby reducing switching time and improving operational convenience.
2Productivity
If the user exits the current mini app to switch to another mini app, then the mini app switching can be achieved, but the switching process becomes complex and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the mini app switching function into the current mini app interface itself, combining the navigation and switching capabilities within the mini app context. This eliminates the need to exit the current mini app and return to the parent application, simplifying the switching process and improving efficiency by reducing the number of steps involved.
3Loss of time
If the mini app switching method is simplified, then the switching process becomes more efficient, but the system needs to provide additional display information and interaction mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by utilizing existing UI elements and interaction mechanisms within the mini app to serve the dual purpose of displaying mini app information and enabling switching operations. The mini app display information can be rendered using standard display components, and switching can be triggered through common input methods such as taps or gestures, avoiding the need for complex dedicated switching mechanisms.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of computer technology, and provide a mini application (app) switching method and device, a framework, an apparatus and a readable medium. The method includes: receiving a first input for a current mini app, the current mini app being a mini app currently displayed in a preset application; displaying at least one piece of mini app display information, in response to the first input; receiving a second input for target mini app display information among the at least one piece of mini app display information; and switching a currently displayed mini app to a target mini app corresponding to the target mini app display information in the preset application, in response to the second input.
