The sequence numbers of the operations, e.g., 101, 102, etc., are used merely to distinguish between the various operations, and do not represent any order of execution per se. Additionally, the flows may include more or fewer operations, and the operations may be performed sequentially or in parallel. It should be noted that, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this document are used for distinguishing different messages, devices, modules, etc., and do not represent a sequential order, nor limit the types of "first" and "second" to be different.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a multi-application display method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method provided by the embodiment of the application is suitable for the client. The client may be hardware integrated on the terminal and having an embedded program, may also be application software installed in the terminal, and may also be tool software embedded in an operating system of the terminal, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. The terminal can be any terminal equipment including a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, intelligent wearable equipment, AR equipment and the like. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

101. and when the mobile terminal works in the multi-application display mode, displaying an application page of the first application and a shortcut page of the second application.

102. And responding to a first switching event, and displaying a shortcut page of the first application and an application page of the second application.

In the above 101, the system may enter the multi-application display mode after the user triggers. For example, the triggering manner of the multi-application display mode may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

responding to an operation gesture of a user on a screen, and entering the multi-application display mode when the operation gesture meets a set gesture requirement;

responding to the touch operation of a user on a designated control key or a combined control key, and entering the multi-application display mode;

when monitoring multi-application display control voice sent by a user, entering a multi-application display mode;

collecting the action of a user on the screen according to the specified action, and entering the multi-application display mode;

when the situation that the equipment shakes according to a preset track is monitored, entering a multi-application display mode;

and entering the multi-application display mode when the situation that a plurality of applications including the first application and the second application are selected by a user is monitored.

Wherein, the operation gesture may include at least one of the following: the application page of the first application is pressed for a long time, dragged downwards or upwards, and the like, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the application. Referring to the examples shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, after the user presses the page for a long time in the first application page 1 shown in fig. 2, the device is shocked slightly; a first application page 1 is selected; as shown in fig. 3, the application page 1 of the first application is dragged downward to enter the multi-application display mode (as shown in fig. 4), and after the user releases his hand, the multi-application display mode is maintained.

The appointed control key or the combined control key is configured in advance, for example, the multi-application display mode is entered by continuously touching the start key for multiple times, or the multi-application display mode is entered by touching the start key and the sound key system simultaneously; and the like, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The multi-application display control voice may be an audio of a "multi-application mode" or the like, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present application. Whether to enter the multi-application display mode is determined by recognizing a user's voice.

The above-mentioned specified action may be: nodding, shaking, swinging fingers, etc., which are not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present application. The specified action can be collected by a visual collection module on the device; and entering a multi-purpose display mode when the user is recognized to make a specified action.

Whether the equipment shakes according to the preset track can be determined based on the equipment posture information monitored by an acceleration sensor on the equipment; such as shaking, etc.

The plurality of applications selected by the user may be a plurality of applications in an application group, or a plurality of applications all in a running state, or a plurality of applications partially in a running state and partially in a non-running state, and the like, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application. Here, it should be noted that: the contents of the application group will be described in detail later.

The step 101 of displaying the application page of the first application and the shortcut page of the second application when the mobile terminal operates in the multi-application display mode may specifically include the following steps:

1011. when the multi-application display mode is operated, the screen is divided into a first block and a second block.

1012. And adjusting the application page of the first application to be displayed in the first block according to the area size of the first block.

1013. And displaying a shortcut page of the second application in the second block.

In an implementation solution, as shown in the figure, the first block is larger than the second block, and the application page is displayed in the first block, and the shortcut page is displayed in the second block, so as to distinguish the application interfaces displayed at the same time. Because, some applications such as music APP, the user only performs simple operations after selecting the song list, such as: next, previous, play, pause, etc. Therefore, the APP of this type can be displayed in the second block and displayed in a shortcut page (as shown in fig. 4, a page that only includes the song name, the next, the previous, the play, the pause, etc.) to make more display space for the main application (i.e., the application displayed in the first block) for the convenience of the user. When a user needs to enter a music APP to select a song list, a singer and the like, a switching event can be triggered to display the APP on an application page of the APP displayed in the first block, so that the user can conveniently perform corresponding operations. For video APPs, the use experience of the user is affected by the display area being too small, so that these APPs can be displayed in the first block in a full-page manner, that is, the application page that should be displayed in the conventional case is applied, and only the display area is compressed. Therefore, which application of the plurality of applications displays the application page in the first block and which application displays the shortcut page in the second block; may be determined according to the application class to which the application belongs. For example, a primary sorting is performed for each type of APP in advance, and when the multi-application display mode is entered, according to the category to which the two applications to be displayed belong and the primary sorting and the secondary sorting of the various types of APPs, a first application displayed as a primary application in a first block and a second application displayed as a secondary application in a second block are determined.

Assume that the preset primary and secondary ordering is: body-building training, music and time recording. The current user opens two running APPs, which are: music APP and fitness training APP. At this time, based on the primary and secondary sorting, a fitness training APP can be obtained as a first application to display an application page in the first block, and a music APP can be obtained as a second application to display a shortcut page in the second block.

Of course, in another implementation, how the first application and the second application are displayed is configurable by a user; or based on user usage habits. The user usage habit can be determined based on historical behavior data of the user using the application, such as frequency of running the application, application usage duration and other information. For example, the application page is displayed in the first block by the application with the longest use time or the highest use frequency among the multiple applications which need to be displayed simultaneously; the rest is displayed in the second block.

Furthermore, the first block is positioned below the second block, so that the operation of a user is facilitated. Because the page user who is the main application in the first block can touch more frequently, the thumb operating range of the user is usually in the middle and the lower part of the screen, and if the first block is arranged on the upper part of the screen, the control at the top of the screen exceeds the operating range of the user, so that the use is inconvenient.

In 102, the first switching event may be generated when a virtual key on the interface is triggered; or generated when a certain physical key on the equipment is triggered; the operation signal may also be a gesture input by the user on the touch screen, or may also be generated when the device is shaken according to a predetermined trajectory, and the like.

This step 102 will be described below by taking the example of the user inputting a gesture on the touch screen. As shown in fig. 5, 6 and 7, when the user presses the shortcut page 2 of the second application on the screen for a long time, the mobile phone shakes slightly to select the application; as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the shortcut page of the second application is dragged to the first block, after the user releases his hand, the application page of the second application is displayed in the first block, and the first application is displayed in the second block in the form of the shortcut page.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the application page of the first application and the quick page of the second page are displayed on the screen, a user can use two different application programs at the same time, the problem that the mode for displaying the application programs on the electronic equipment in the related technology is too single is solved, and the effect of improving the user experience is achieved; in addition, the display of the first application and the second application can be switched, and compared with a scheme that the two application positions are fixed in the prior art, the display is more flexible, and the user operation is convenient.

Further, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes:

103. at least two applications are acquired.

104. Determining the first application and the second application from the at least two applications.

The at least two applications in the foregoing 103 may be all applications currently in a running state, or may be partial applications in the current running state, or may also be partial applications in a running state, or partial applications in a non-running state, and the like, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

In an implementation solution, the above 103 may specifically include:

acquiring the at least two applications in a running state; or

Acquiring an application group to which an application in a running state belongs, wherein the application group comprises the at least two applications; or

Acquiring an application group selected by a user, wherein the application group comprises the at least two applications;

based on a grouping rule, an application that can be grouped with an application in a running state is found out from a plurality of applications, and the at least two applications include the application in the running state and the application that can be grouped with the application in the running state.

The application group can be configured by the user, for example, when the user opens the fitness training APP, the user is accustomed to playing exercise and listening to music. Therefore, the user can form the fitness training APP and the music APP into an application group in advance. When a user opens one application in the application group, the other applications in the group may be automatically opened and displayed on the screen in the multi-application display mode mentioned in the above embodiments. As shown in fig. 2.

In a specific embodiment, it is assumed that there are four APPs currently in a running state, which are: APP1, APP2, APP3 and APP 4. The APP application comprises an APP1 group, an APP2 group and an APP3 group. When the system enters a multi-application display mode, performing multi-application display processing on APP1, APP2 and APP3 in the application group; while APP4 is discharged outside.

In another specific embodiment, all the APPs currently in the running state are subjected to the multi-application display processing without being grouped. Suppose that there are four APPs currently in operation, which are: APP1, APP2, APP3 and APP 4. When the system enters the multi-application display mode, the APP1, APP2, APP3 and APP4 can be subjected to multi-application display processing.

The above "finding an application that can be grouped with an application in a running state among a plurality of applications based on a grouping rule" can be implemented by the following method:

and S1, acquiring auxiliary information associated with the plurality of applications.

And S2, according to the auxiliary information, finding out the application which meets the grouping rule with the application in the running state in the plurality of applications.

In a specific embodiment, the auxiliary information includes at least one of: attribute information, user usage habit information, current task state, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application. Wherein the attribute information includes: to which it belongs. Such as photography and video, games, social, music, education, etc. The user usage habit information may be determined based on historical user usage application behavior data, wherein the behavior data may include: frequency with which the user opens two applications simultaneously for a period of time, application usage duration, user interface operating frequency, and the like. Accordingly, the step S2 of finding out the application satisfying the grouping rule with the application in the running state from the plurality of applications according to the auxiliary information may be implemented as follows:

s21, determining a first value of each application according to the attribute information of each application in the plurality of applications and the matching degree of the attribute information of the application in the running state; and/or

S22, determining a second value of each application according to the user use habit information and the occurrence frequency of the application in the running state and the task running state at the same time; and/or

S23, determining a third value of each application according to the current task state of each application;

s24, determining a comprehensive value of each application according to at least one of the first value, the second value and the third value;

and S25, grouping the application with the comprehensive value meeting the set condition in the grouping rule with the application in the running state.

In S21, the matching degree of the attribute information of the two applications may be calculated based on a preset calculation model. For example, the attribute information of the two applications is used as the input of the calculation model, and the calculation model is executed to obtain the matching degree. Besides adopting a calculation model, the matching degree of the attribute information of the two applications can also be determined by adopting a logic judgment mode; the embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited to this. For convenience of understanding the matching degree of the attribute information in the present embodiment, the following example is given. Suppose that the system is provided with a game APP, a music APP, an education APP, a fitness training APP and a timing APP. The possibility of the educational APP and the gaming APP being together is very small because the simultaneous display of these two on the screen causes interference. The possibility that the music APP and the fitness training APP are opened at the same time is the largest, so that the matching degree of the music APP and the fitness training APP is higher than that of the education APP and the game APP. Therefore, the matching degree of the attribute information of the two applications can be simply understood as follows: the possibility of two applications running simultaneously; the higher the matching degree is, the higher the possibility of simultaneous operation is; the lower the degree of matching, the lower the probability of being able to operate simultaneously.

In an implementation, the above S2 can be simply understood as: the higher the frequency of two or more applications that the user is accustomed to running simultaneously, the higher its corresponding second value. During specific implementation, the occurrence frequency Fa of the application a and the application in the running state in the task running state can be counted based on the user habit information; and taking the value corresponding to the frequency direction of Fa as a second value according to the corresponding relation between the preset frequency range and the value.

In S3, the current task state includes: in a foreground running state, in a background running state, in a non-starting state, and the like. Different values can be given to different states, for example, the third value corresponding to the APP in the foreground running state is the largest, the third value corresponding to the APP in the background running state is centered, and the third value corresponding to the APP in the non-starting state is the smallest.

The scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application may only include the above steps S21, S22, or S23, may also include any two of S21, S22, or S23, and may also include both of them. Accordingly, if only step S21, S22, or S23 is included in S24, the integrated value corresponding to each application is obtained based on the first value of each application. If only any two of the steps S21, S22, and S23 are included, the comprehensive value corresponding to each application is obtained based on two corresponding values of the first value, the second value, and the third value of each application. If steps S21, S22, and S23 are included, the integrated value corresponding to each application is determined based on the first value, the second value, and the second value of each application.

When determining the integrated value based on two of the first value, the second value, and the third value, the sum of the two values may be directly used as the integrated value, or a weighted sum of the two values may be used as the integrated value. The weight of each value multiplied when calculating the weighted sum can be set manually, and this is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application. When determining the comprehensive value based on the first value, the second value and the third value, the sum of the three values can be directly used as the comprehensive value; or taking the weighted sum of the three values as the comprehensive value. Similarly, the weight of each value multiplied when calculating the weighted sum can be set manually.

In an implementation, the step 104 "determining the first application and the second application in the at least two applications" includes:

1041. performing primary and secondary sorting on the at least two applications; taking the application which is ranked first in the at least two applications as the first application, and taking the application which is ranked second as the second application; or

1042. Responding to a selection event triggered by a user for the at least two applications, and respectively taking the two applications pointed by the selection event as the first application and the second application; or

1043. And taking the application corresponding to the interface displayed on the screen before the system works in the multi-application display mode as the first application, and taking one application except the first application in the at least two applications as the second application.

In 1041, the primary and secondary ranks may be based on the frequency of each application being turned on, or the time length of the application being turned on, and the like, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application. For example, applications with more frequency of opening are ranked more forward, and applications with less frequency are ranked more backward. Or, the application row with longer application opening time length is arranged in front, and the application row with shorter application opening time length is arranged behind. Or, the sequencing order of each application is evaluated by integrating the opening frequency or the application opening time length.

1042, the user may be implemented by an application selection function provided by the system, for example, when the system enters a multi-application display mode, an application selection interface is provided for the user, where icons of applications are displayed in the interface; the user may determine the first application and the second application by clicking on an icon on the interface.

Further, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes:

105. and in response to the adjustment operation of the application group by the user, deleting and/or adding the application in the application group.
