detailed description

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Embodiment one

The embodiment of the present invention provides a function calling method of an application program, as shown in FIG. 1 , the method provided in this embodiment includes:

101. Trigger the icon of the application program in the display interface of the terminal.

Step 101 is mainly used to determine the target application program that the user wants to invoke. For example, when the terminal detects that the user has long pressed the icon of a certain application program, it triggers the icon of the application program; or when the terminal detects that the user double-clicks the icon of a certain application program, it triggers the icon of the application program.

102. Generate an operation display area in the display interface.

103. Display a new message of the application program or at least one functional interface of the application program in the operation display area.

It should be noted that the operation display area is a partial area of the display interface. That is to say, the terminal does not need to perform page jump when displaying the operation display area, and may directly display new messages of the application program or at least one functional interface of the application program on the display interface of the terminal.

In the method for invoking the function of the application provided by the embodiment of the present invention, after the icon of the application in the display interface of the terminal is triggered, an operation display area is generated in the display interface, and the application is displayed in the operation display area or at least one functional interface of the application. Compared with the prior art, by adopting the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the new message or function interface of the application program can be displayed directly on the display interface of the terminal, without the need for the user to click the application program to perform multiple jumps on the operation interface , which can simplify the implementation process of calling a certain application function of the application program.

Based on the function calling method of the application program shown in FIG. 1 , further, this embodiment provides a specific implementation manner. As shown in FIG. 2 , it specifically includes: 202. Display a floating operation window on the display interface of the terminal; when the terminal detects that the floating operation window covers the icon of the application program, trigger the application program.

Wherein, the floating operation window is a movable cursor in the display interface of the terminal, and the floating operation window moves on the display interface of the terminal according to user operations.

In this embodiment, the display interface of the terminal is provided with a floating operation window, and the floating operation window is mainly used to determine the application program that the user needs to invoke. Specifically, the terminal may move the floating operation window to the icon of the application program according to the user operation, so that the floating operation window covers the icon of the application program; or, the mobile terminal may also move the application program icon according to the user operation The icon of the program is moved to the floating operation window, so that the floating operation window covers the icon of the application program.

When the screen of the terminal is large, no matter whether the user drags the icon of the application program or the floating operation window, the user needs to drag a long distance to make the floating operation window cover the icon of the application program. inconvenient. In order to solve the above problems, in this embodiment, a plurality of floating window operations can be set on the display interface of the terminal, and the operation areas of the plurality of floating windows are distributed in different positions of the terminal display interface; when the user needs to call a certain application When selecting a program, a floating operation window near the application can be selected, so that the user can more conveniently determine the application to be called.

204. The terminal displays at least one function option around the icon of the triggered application program, the at least one function option corresponds to at least one application function of the application program, and the at least one function option is used for the user to perform Select, the at least one function option is displayed on the same interface as the icon of the application program.

For ease of understanding, this embodiment takes an email application program as an example to illustrate step 204:

When the terminal detects that the floating operation window covers the icon of the e-mail application program, the terminal displays at least one function option around the icon of the e-mail application program for the user to select; as shown in Figure 3, the The dotted frame shown in 31 is the floating operation window in this embodiment, and 32 in the figure is the icon of the e-mail application program; at least one function option displayed around the icon of the e-mail application program includes: write mail, account 2 , account one, VIP mail, delete, other options, etc. It is worth noting that the "+" in FIG. 3 represents other functional options, and is used for users to select functional options to be displayed around the email application program icon according to their own needs. What is shown in FIG. 3 is only an example. In addition to what is shown in FIG. 3 , the function options displayed around the email application program may also be: inbox, outbox, draft box, account selection and other function options. Specifically, the number, position and type of function options displayed around the email application icon 32 can be set by the user.

It is worth noting that the function options displayed by the terminal around the application program icon can be set by the user; or, the terminal can display the core function of the application program around the application program icon.

206. Generate an operation display area on the display interface of the terminal. Wherein, the operation display area is used to display the operation interface corresponding to the function option selected by the user.

It is worth noting that, with the development of smart phones, large-screen mobile phones have gradually become a development trend of terminals; however, large-screen mobile phones often bring inconvenience to users in operation. Due to the large screen size of the large-screen mobile phone, the user needs to hold the mobile phone with one hand and operate it with the other hand when using it. In other words, large-screen mobile phones cannot be operated with one hand.

In order to solve the problem that the large-screen mobile phone cannot be operated with one hand, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of step 106, which is as follows: the terminal determines the operation display area, and displays the user-selected information in the operation display area. The operation interface of the application function corresponding to the function option.

Wherein, the terminal can at least use the following two methods to determine the operation display area:

method one:

The terminal detects the user's operation habits through a gyroscope, and determines the operation display area according to the user's operation habits.

For example, the terminal determines that the operation display area is located on the left side of the display interface of the terminal according to the gyroscope detecting that the user is operating the mobile phone with the left hand. Refer to the display method of the operation display area in FIG. 4 .

Method Two:

The terminal determines a specified area of the terminal display interface as the operation display area according to a user instruction. With such a method, the user can set the display position of the operation display area according to individual needs.

Through the above method 1 and method 2, through the above method, the terminal displays the operation interface of the application function selected by the user in a manner similar to a screen-in-screen. Since the operation display area is close to the user's finger, it is convenient for the user to click on the operation display area, thereby realizing one-handed operation of the large-screen mobile phone.

208. Determine whether there is a new message reminder in the triggered application program; if yes, display the detailed content of the new message in the operation display area; if not, call and display the new message in the operation display area An operation interface of at least one function of the application program. Wherein, the operation interface of at least one function of the application specifically includes: an operation interface corresponding to a function option selected by the user, or an operation interface in which a default application function of the application is preset according to user operations.

For example, as shown in Figure 4, the e-mail application program receives 2 unread mails; the terminal moves the floating operation area 41 to the icon 42 of the e-mail according to the user's instruction, so that the floating operation area 41 covers the icon 42 ; then the terminal directly displays unread emails in the operation display area

In the method for invoking the function of the application provided by the embodiment of the present invention, after the icon of the application in the display interface of the terminal is triggered, an operation display area is generated in the display interface, and the application is displayed in the operation display area or at least one functional interface of the application. Compared with the prior art, by adopting the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the new message or function interface of the application program can be displayed directly on the display interface of the terminal, without the need for the user to click the application program to perform multiple jumps on the operation interface , which can simplify the implementation process of calling a certain application function of the application program.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , optionally, as an optional specific implementation manner, before step 204, it also includes:

203. The terminal presets a default application function of the application program according to a user operation.

Specifically, the terminal may set a certain function of the application program as the default application function; by setting the default application function, the terminal may quickly determine the application function that the user needs to invoke. For example, taking an e-mail application program as an example, the terminal may set the "email reading function" for reading unread e-mails as the default application function, or the terminal may set the "email sending function" for sending e-mails to Set as the default application function.

It is worth noting that the terminal can determine the application function that the user needs to invoke through step 203 . Since step 204 is also for the terminal to determine the application function that the user needs to invoke, on the basis of step 203, the terminal may selectively skip step 204 and directly execute step 206. Specifically, taking the e-mail application program as an example, on the basis of step 203, step 206 includes at least the following specific implementation methods:

The terminal sets a certain function of the email application program as the default application function, for example, sets "email sending function" as the default application function of the email application program. If the terminal detects that the floating operation window covers the icon of the e-mail application program, the "email sending function" is directly invoked and displayed in the operation display area for the user to edit and send a new e-mail.

Through the above specific implementation manner, when the terminal detects that the floating operation window covers the icon of the application program, the terminal directly invokes and displays the default application function of the application program. By adopting such a method, the user selection process is omitted, and the function call of the application program can be realized quickly.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, optionally, as another optional specific implementation manner, before step 202, step 201 is also included, specifically as follows:

201. Detect an application program that receives a new message in the terminal, and move an icon of the application program that has a new message reminder near the floating operation window.

For example, as shown in Figure 5, emails, social platforms, and text messages all receive unread messages; the user can press and hold the floating operation area, and the terminal will gather icons of emails, social platforms, and text messages to the periphery of the floating operation area, In order to facilitate the user to determine the application program to be invoked through the floating operation area.

Through step 201, on the one hand, make the icon of the application program to be triggered close to the floating operation window, so that the user can conveniently cover the icon of the application program to be triggered by the floating operation window; When using a large-screen mobile phone, it is convenient for the user to select the application program to be called more quickly.
