Detailed ways

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a logical structure of a mobile terminal provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the mobile terminal 10 of the present invention includes an application management module 11 , an image to be displayed generation module 12 , a resolution adjustment module 13 and a display screen 100 . Wherein, the mobile terminal 10 of the present invention includes a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook, and a vehicle-mounted computer.

Wherein, the application management module 11 is used for setting the corresponding display resolution for the application program according to the user instruction. Wherein, different display resolutions are set for different application programs. The application management module 11 can be an upper layer application manager, such as a mobile phone housekeeper. And the application management module 11 sets an application setting option to provide the user with setting the display resolution of the application.

The image to be displayed generating module 12 is used for running the application to generate an image to be displayed after the application is started, and the image resolution of the image to be displayed is the display resolution.

Image resolution refers to the amount of data stored in an image, usually measured in pixels per inch. Generally, the higher the image resolution, the more pixels it contains and the clearer the image. At the same time, these pixel data will also increase the storage space occupied by the file.

In this way, the display resolution corresponding to the application program can be set according to the final resolution of the image to be displayed that needs to be obtained.

The resolution adjustment module 13 is configured to adjust the resolution of the image to be displayed, so that the adjusted image resolution of the image to be displayed is consistent with the resolution of the display screen 100 .

Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention sets different display resolutions for different application programs, so that the application programs can run relatively smoothly at the corresponding display resolutions, preventing the mobile terminal 10 from running the application programs at inappropriate display resolutions. Insufficient performance results, thereby shortening the life of the mobile terminal 10 . In addition, if the display resolution is set to be low, it can also save power consumption and prolong the use time of the mobile terminal 10 . On the other hand, the present invention can also be displayed at the resolution of the display screen 100, thereby ensuring not only the performance of the mobile terminal 10, but also the clarity of the display, and obtaining the best combination of performance and clarity.

The resolution of the display screen 100 refers to how many pixels the display screen 100 can display. Therefore, adjusting the image resolution of the image to be displayed by the resolution adjustment module 13 to be consistent with the resolution of the display screen 100 includes adjusting the number of pixels of the image to be displayed to be consistent with the number of pixels that the display screen 100 can display. Specifically, at first the image resolution of the image to be displayed is compared with the resolution of the display screen 100, if the image resolution of the image to be displayed is greater than the resolution of the display screen 100, the resolution of the image to be displayed is reduced; If the image resolution of the displayed image is smaller than the resolution of the display screen 100, the resolution of the image to be displayed is enlarged. As a result, the image to be displayed after resolution adjustment can be displayed normally on the display screen 100 .

There are multiple methods for specifically adjusting the image resolution of the image to be displayed to be consistent with the resolution of the display screen 100 . For example, when the image resolution of the image to be displayed is: only 800×600 pixels are included, and the resolution of the display screen 100 is: it can display 1024×768 pixels, there are usually the following two display methods:

The first is a centered display method: the 800×600 pixels in the center of the display screen 100 are displayed to display the image to be displayed, and the other pixels that are not displayed remain in a dark state.

The second is the extended display method: each pixel of the image to be displayed is expanded to adjacent pixels for display through a differential algorithm, so that the entire screen of the display screen 100 is filled.

Further, the mobile terminal 10 also includes a storage module 14, which is used to store the display resolution corresponding to the application program. After the user starts the application program, the image generation module 12 to be displayed acquires the corresponding display resolution of the application program from the storage module 14. resolution, and run the application according to the display resolution to generate the corresponding image to be displayed. Wherein, the storage module 14 is preferably a flash (flash memory) memory.

Wherein, if the display image generation module 12 cannot find the corresponding display resolution, it will return a prompt message for prompting the user to set the display resolution corresponding to the application. Alternatively, the user is asked to confirm whether it is necessary to set the display resolution. If it is received that the user chooses not to set the display resolution, the application program will be run according to the resolution of the display screen 100 . It should be understood that if the user sets the display resolution of the application program after receiving the prompt information, the operation is as described above and will not be repeated here.

Further, the mobile terminal 10 also includes a display buffer 15, which is used for buffering the image to be displayed generated by the image generation module 12 to be displayed. The resolution adjustment module 13 further obtains the image to be displayed from the display buffer 15 and adjusts the resolution.

Wherein, the size of the cache address of the display cache 15 for caching the image to be displayed is determined by the display resolution. The mobile terminal 10 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a display service module 16 configured to set a cache address of the display cache 15, and the size of the cache address is consistent with the size of the image to be displayed. The display service module 16 writes the image to be displayed generated by the image generation module 12 into the set cache address.

The operation of specifically setting the cache address is: the application management module 11 first obtains the display resolution corresponding to the stored application program from the storage module 14, and then controls the display service module 16 to set the resolution through the API (Application Programming Interface, Application Programming Interface) interface. Display the cache address of cache 15.

The embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for running an application program, which is applied in the mobile terminal 10 mentioned above. Please refer to Figure 2 for details. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for running an application program provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2, the method for running the application program on the mobile terminal 10 includes the following steps:

Step S1: Set the corresponding display resolution for the application program according to the user instruction.

Specifically, different display resolutions are set for different application programs. Specifically, an application setting option may be provided to the user, so as to provide the user with setting the display resolution of the application program.

Step S2: After the application program is started, run the application program to generate the image to be displayed, and the image resolution of the image to be displayed is the display resolution.

Specifically, firstly, the display resolution corresponding to the application is stored. Then, after the user starts the application program, the stored display resolution corresponding to the application program is acquired, and then the application program is run according to the display resolution to generate an image to be displayed.

Image resolution refers to the amount of data stored in an image, usually measured in pixels per inch. Generally, the higher the image resolution, the more pixels it contains and the clearer the image. At the same time, these pixel data will also increase the storage space occupied by the file. Thus, in step S1, the display resolution corresponding to the application program can be set according to the final resolution of the image to be displayed that needs to be obtained.

Step S3: adjusting the resolution of the image to be displayed, so that the adjusted image resolution of the image to be displayed is consistent with the resolution of the display screen. The specific adjustment process is as described above, and will not be repeated here.

Before step S3, the images to be displayed are also buffered through display buffering. Specifically: setting the cache address of the display cache, the size of the address is consistent with the size of the image to be displayed, and then writing the image to be displayed generated in step S2 into the cache address of the display cache. Wherein, a specific method for setting the cache address of the display cache is: setting the cache address of the display cache through an API interface.

As mentioned above, the present invention can enable the application program to run at the corresponding display resolution on the one hand, and display at the resolution of the display screen on the other hand, thereby ensuring the performance of the mobile terminal and ensuring the clarity of the display resolution for the best combination of performance and clarity.
