Figure 2A shows a schematic diagram of the cleaning method of the task list before the operating system of the terminal is the Android M version. It can be seen from Figure 2A that when the background application is displayed, 4 background applications are displayed on one screen, and other applications can be seen by sliding left and right , drag an app to slide up on the display interface, you can clear the app, and provide a one-key clean shortcut key, click the one-key clean shortcut key to clear all the currently displayed 4 background apps.

Figure 2B shows a schematic diagram of the task list cleaning method for the terminal operating system of the Android M version. This implementation method is roughly similar to the previous version, except that the one-screen display of 4 background applications is changed to the horizontal display of all background applications. Swipe left and right to view each application, drag an application to swipe up to clear the application, and provide a one-key cleanup shortcut key when the application is displayed, click the one-key cleanup shortcut key to clean up all background applications.

From the implementation of the task list above, it can be seen that if the background applications are cleaned up one by one, the user’s operation will be cumbersome. The cleaning method does not take into account the actual needs of the user, and the common applications that the user uses often need to be restarted in order to realize the quick switching of the application. In addition, the task list will display a screenshot of the last exit of the application, which easily exposes user privacy.

Figure 2C shows a schematic diagram of the task list cleaning method for the terminal operating system of Android N version. This implementation method changes the display mode of the task list into a cascading mode. Click and hold the background application to be cleaned and swipe left and right to clean the background application. , at the same time, it provides the application locking function, and the locked application will not be cleaned up during the cleaning process of the background application. In this implementation method, the user needs to manually lock the applications that do not need to be closed, and the operation is cumbersome; in addition, the cascading display method is not intuitive, and you need to drag up and down to see all the applications. If there are many background applications, repetitive operations are very difficult. many.

In view of the various defects and problems in the cleaning method of the task list of the above application, the embodiment of the present application provides a new cleaning solution of the application task list, which can enable users to distinguish background applications according to their own needs, and simplify background application cleaning. The cleaning operation allows the user to easily clean up the background applications, and to keep the applications that the user is interested in for switching back and forth.

In the embodiment of the present application, the processor of the terminal may classify at least one first application that is running in the background, and display at least one first application type set according to the classification result. In this embodiment of the present application, when at least one first application in the running state is classified, it may be classified according to the last use time corresponding to each first application; it may also be classified according to the usage frequency and /or use duration to classify; each first application can also be classified according to a preset application type database. It should be noted that the application type database can be obtained from external applications installed on the terminal, for example, from an application market installed on the terminal The application type database can be obtained from the software; the application type database can also be obtained from the terminal memory. At this time, when the terminal installs an application for the first time, the application type can be obtained by obtaining the relevant information of the application and performing semantic analysis. And store the application name and the corresponding application type of the application in the memory of the terminal, perform this operation for each application installed in the terminal, and obtain the application type database of the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present application, in order to take into account the user's usage habits, the processor of the terminal may arrange the time lengths from the last use time to the current time of each first application included in the first application type set in ascending order, The icons of the applications included in the first application type set are sorted and displayed on the display device, so that the user can easily perceive the order of the last use time of each background application.

The implementation flow chart of the method for clearing the application task list provided by the embodiment of the present application is introduced below.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the embodiment of the present application provides a method for clearing the application task list of a terminal. The method can be executed by the terminal 100 as described above. The terminal 100 includes a display device. The flow of the method is introduced as follows.

Step 301: The terminal acquires a first instruction input by a user, and the first instruction is used to instruct the terminal to classify and display at least one first application that is running in the background.

Optionally, the first instruction in this embodiment of the present application may be a first instruction for a menu key, and the menu key may be a hardware menu key or a functional virtual menu key, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application, wherein, The first instruction may be a click operation instruction, including a single-click operation instruction or a double-click operation instruction; or a long-press operation instruction.

Step 302: The terminal classifies the at least one first application according to the first instruction, and displays at least one first application type set according to the classification result, and the first application type set is the same or similar attribute information A collection of at least one first application.

Step 303: The terminal acquires a second instruction input by the user, where the second instruction is used to instruct the terminal to clean up application tasks corresponding to the at least one first application type set.

Optionally, the second instruction may be a click operation instruction, including a single-click operation instruction or a double-click operation instruction; or a long-press operation instruction. The first operation instruction and the second operation instruction may be set to be the same or different.

Further, before acquiring the second instruction input by the user, the terminal displays a first control, the first control corresponds to the first application type set, and the first control is used to clear all application tasks of all applications in the first application type set. At this time, the second instruction is an operation instruction for the first control, specifically, it may be a click operation instruction for the first control, including a single-click operation instruction or a double-click operation instruction; or a long-press operation instruction.

Step 304: According to the second instruction, the terminal clears the application tasks of the applications corresponding to the at least one first application type set.

In this way, when the user cleans up the background applications, the background applications can be sorted and cleaned according to the classification results of the background applications, which can not only take into account user needs but also avoid tedious operations.

Specifically, in the above step 302, when the terminal classifies the at least one first application according to the first instruction, the following three possible implementation manners are included:

In the first application classification implementation manner, the attribute information is the last use time of the at least one first application; at this time, when classifying the at least one first application, the at least one first application is acquired The last use time: according to the last use time of the at least one first application, the applications whose last use time meets the preset condition are classified into the same application type set in a time dimension.

Specifically, in a possible implementation manner, when the processor of the terminal detects the first instruction, it counts the last use time of each first application, and according to the last use time corresponding to each first application, the Applications whose duration between the last used time and the current time is not greater than the preset duration are determined as the first type of applications, and applications whose duration between the last used time and the current time is longer than the preset duration are determined as the second type of applications.

In this implementation manner, the processor of the terminal can divide the applications into commonly used applications and infrequently used applications. Therefore, the terminal memory needs to maintain two application lists, which are the frequently used application list and the infrequently used application list. Wherein, the first type of application corresponds to commonly used applications, and the second type of application corresponds to infrequently used applications. For example, when the terminal processor detects the first operation instruction input by the user through the input device of the terminal, it determines the application in the background application whose duration between the last used time and the current time is not more than half an hour as a frequently used application; Applications whose duration between time and current time is longer than half an hour are determined as infrequently used applications. At this time, every time the user uses an application and exits the application to run in the background, the processor of the terminal will obtain the last use time of the application, and record and save it in the memory. Specifically, the implementation process of classifying background applications in this manner can be referred to as shown in FIG. 4 .

S40: The input device of the terminal receives a first instruction input by the user. Optionally, the first instruction may be, but not limited to, a click operation on a menu key.

S41: The processor of the terminal obtains the last use time of each first application, and sorts the last use time of all first applications according to the distance from the current time to the nearest and farthest, and the current time is the time when the input device of the terminal receives the first instruction time.

S42: The processor of the terminal sequentially judges whether the last used time of each background application is more than half an hour away from the current time according to the above sequence, and if so, executes S43; otherwise, executes S44.

S43: Display the application icon corresponding to the corresponding application in the list of infrequently used applications.

S44: Display the application icon corresponding to the corresponding application in the frequently used application list.

It should be noted that, for the above-mentioned distinguishing results of the first applications in the commonly used application list and the infrequently used application list, it may not meet the needs of the user. At this time, the input device of the terminal can receive the Drag a certain first application that does not meet the user's expectations to the corresponding list, and the dragged first application will be marked to indicate that the user has put it in the list of frequently used or uncommonly used applications. For example, as shown in Figure 5, when the user drags the A application included in the list of infrequently used applications displayed on the display device of the terminal, assuming that it is a QQ application, when dragging it from the list of infrequently used applications to the list of commonly used A label is added to the application icon corresponding to the dragged QQ application, so that the user can know that the QQ application is artificially dragged by the user to the frequently used application list. Constructing the application list in this way can not only facilitate the user to view the application list, but also allow the user to modify the application list where the first application is located, which facilitates the cleaning of the application. The terminal display device mentioned in this embodiment The displayed application list is just a manifestation of the classified application folder icons introduced in the above embodiments. According to specific circumstances, the classified application folder icons mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention may also be expressed in other forms. This is not limited.

In the second application classification implementation manner, the attribute information is the usage time of the at least one first application. At this time, when classifying the at least one first application, the The usage duration within a time period is set; according to the usage duration of the at least one first application, the applications whose usage duration meets a preset condition are classified into the same application type set.

Specifically, in a possible implementation manner, when the processor of the terminal detects the first instruction, it will The first application whose usage frequency and/or duration is greater than a preset threshold is determined as the first type of application, and the first application whose usage frequency and/or usage duration is not greater than the preset threshold is determined as the second type of application.

In this implementation, similar to the first implementation above, the terminal divides applications into commonly used applications and infrequently used applications. Therefore, the storage of the terminal needs to maintain two application lists, namely the frequently used application list and the infrequently used application list. Wherein, the first type of application corresponds to commonly used applications, and the second type of application corresponds to infrequently used applications. As the number of times the user uses the application continues to increase, the processor of the terminal counts the frequency and duration of use of each application by the user within a preset period of time, and determines the application with a frequency of use and/or duration of use greater than a preset threshold as a frequently used application, An application whose frequency of use and/or duration of use is not greater than a preset threshold is determined as an infrequently used application, thereby generating a frequently used application list and an infrequently used application list. The list of commonly used applications includes the top X most frequently used applications among the applications of the terminal, where X is a positive integer. The applications in this list of frequently used applications will remain in the list of frequently used applications unless the user manually switches them, and will not change with the last use time. In this way, the application usage habit cultivated by the user unconsciously is saved, and this usage habit is applied to the application classification of the background list.

It should be noted that, when classifying background applications, the above-mentioned first implementation manner of application classification and the second implementation manner of application classification may be used alone or in combination. Specifically, when classifying the background applications, the last use time of each first application, the frequency of use within a preset duration, and the duration of use of each first application are comprehensively considered to classify each first application. For example, referring to FIG. 6 , in a possible implementation, first obtain the last use time of each first application, and sequentially determine whether the last use time is within half an hour from the current time for each first application, and if so, If not, then continue to obtain the number of times that each of the remaining first applications is activated within 2 hours, and determine whether the number of activations is greater than 5 times, if so, determine that it is a commonly used application; if not, continue to obtain the remaining The duration of the corresponding process of each first application within 2 hours, determine whether the duration of the process is greater than 1 hour, if so, determine it as a commonly used application; if not, determine it as an infrequently used application, this is only for illustration Of course, it is also possible to classify each first application based on the last use time of each first application and the frequency of use within a preset time period, or to classify each first application based on the last use time of each first application, within a preset time period Each first application is classified according to the duration of use, which is not limited here.

In the third application classification implementation manner, the attribute information is an application type. At this time, when classifying the at least one first application, the application type of the at least one first application is acquired; according to the at least one first application An application type of an application, and applications of the same or similar application type are classified into the same application type set.

Specifically, in a possible implementation manner, when the processor of the terminal detects the first instruction, according to the preset application type database, obtain each first application that is running in the background in the application type database. The application type of each first application in the running state is then classified according to the obtained application type corresponding to each first application in the running state.

In this implementation manner, each first application is classified according to the application type. Specifically, when the application is classified according to the application type, the following two possible implementation manners are included:

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal classifies each first application that is running in the background based on a software platform such as an application market. For example, applications in the application market are roughly divided into: audio-visual entertainment, practical tools, social communication, learning and office work, news reading, and game entertainment. When the terminal is turned on, the processor of the terminal makes statistics on each first application installed on the terminal, after excluding the system applications, matches the corresponding application types of the remaining first applications in the application market, and then puts the corresponding application Icons are placed in the application list of the corresponding type, and the application icons corresponding to the application types that cannot be successfully matched are divided into the application list corresponding to the application type to be cleaned. In the future, each time the user adds an application, this check and match will be performed In this way, when the processor of the terminal detects the first instruction, it can directly obtain the application types corresponding to the first applications running in the background, so as to divide the first applications of the same application type into the same application list to display on the display device.

In another possible implementation manner, the processor of the terminal may obtain application attribute information and related communication interfaces by means such as semantic analysis, determine the application type of the first application, and classify each first application according to the application type . For example, when installing an application for the first time, the terminal determines the functions of the application to be installed through semantic analysis, and classifies applications with similar or identical functions into the application types corresponding to the functions. When the China Merchants Bank client application with payment function is installed for the first time, through semantic analysis, it is obtained that the application has payment function, and the application is classified into the payment function application type, and the corresponding application can be generated for this application type set The first type of text is named as a shopping and financial management application list, or a corresponding first type of icon can be generated for the application of this application type set.

It should be noted that, when displaying the first application type set, icons of applications included in the first application type set need to be displayed, that is, the first application type set includes at least one application icon. Further, when displaying the first application type set, generate a first type icon corresponding to the first application type set, and display the first type icon; or, when displaying the first application type set, generate an icon corresponding to the first application type set The first type of text corresponding to the first application type set is displayed, and the first type of text is displayed.

Specifically, when the terminal displays the icons of the applications included in the first application type set, it may be implemented through the following process:

The terminal respectively determines the duration between the last time of use and the current time in each application included in each first application type set;

The terminal displays the icons of each application on the display device of the terminal sequentially in ascending order of the duration between the last use time and the current time of each application included in the first application type set.

In this way, the information about the last use time of each first application can be presented to the user, which is convenient for the user to understand the usage status of each first application.

Further, before the above step 303, that is, before the terminal obtains the second instruction input by the user, the terminal obtains a third instruction input by the user, and the third instruction is used to select the first application type set if the terminal obtains the second instruction input by the user, and when the terminal clears the application tasks of the application corresponding to the at least one first application type set according to the second instruction, the terminal clears the In the first application type set, application tasks of other applications except the first application.

Through the above implementation, if the user determines that a certain first application does not need to be cleaned up according to actual usage requirements when cleaning up each application in a certain first application type set, the input device of the terminal receives the third instruction input by the user , optionally, the third may be a long-press operation on the icon of the first application. At this time, the display device of the terminal displays the check mark of the icon of the first application on the display interface presented to the user, and the subsequent If the processor of the terminal detects the second instruction for the first application type set where the icon of the first application is located, it can keep the selected first application from being cleaned up, and at the same time need to clean up other applications in the first application type set application tasks.

It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned first instruction, second instruction, and third instruction may be the same operation instruction or different operation instructions.

The following will introduce the specific implementation process of classifying and displaying each first application provided by the embodiment of the present application in combination with practical applications.

For the classification and display of each first application in the above-mentioned first application classification implementation method and the second application classification implementation method, please refer to FIG. 7A. At this time, the display interface of the background application is divided into upper and lower parts, and the upper part is commonly used applications. The corresponding first application type set contains three application icons of City Bank, WeChat and China Post, that is, the three applications of City Bank, WeChat and China Post are applications frequently used by users, and the following part corresponds to the list of infrequently used applications The first application type set includes application icons corresponding to Bank of Hong Kong and Mobile Banking respectively, that is, the two applications of Bank of Hong Kong and Mobile Banking are applications that are not frequently used by users. In addition, the terminal will also display a cleanup button in the lower right corner of the first application type set corresponding to commonly used applications and the first application type set corresponding to infrequently used applications. Clear button. At this time, the terminal will only clear the application tasks of the Hong Kong bank application and mobile banking application corresponding to the Hong Kong bank and mobile banking displayed in the first application type set corresponding to the infrequently used applications, and will not affect the application tasks corresponding to the frequently used applications above. The background applications corresponding to the application icons included in the first application type set can be cleaned according to the classification results of each first application. The user can clean up the first applications that are not concerned by the user without additional settings, while retaining the frequently used ones that the user cares about. The application takes into account the user's usage habits and improves the user experience.

It is worth mentioning that in the application settings, users are provided with the function of managing commonly used applications. Users can operate to migrate an application to frequently used applications, or remove an application from commonly used applications to unused applications. , to avoid the situation that the application classification results displayed by the statistics do not meet the user's needs and make the user dissatisfied. The icon of the application that has been moved by the user, unless the user manually removes it, otherwise the icon of the application that has been moved will always be in a certain place. displayed in the first application type set corresponding to the class application.

For the classification display of each first application in the above-mentioned third application classification implementation method, refer to FIG. 7B . At this time, the display interface of the application is based on the user's comprehensive use frequency (including use frequency and duration of use), the three types of applications with the highest usage frequency will be displayed first, and the last type will display the applications to be cleaned up, and when displaying the first application type set corresponding to each type of application, the first application type set includes Among the applications corresponding to the icons of the various applications, the last used time is arranged and displayed in the order of the closest and the farthest from the current time.

In this way, when there are many applications used in the background of the user, the applications can be classified and displayed according to the classification results of the applications. The interface operation is simple and clear, and the classification is clear. In general, the user does not need additional settings and operations, and can be directly cleaned up. Keep the apps you don’t care about, and keep the apps you are interested in, so that users can classify and clean the background apps according to the usage information of each app according to their needs, simplify the cleaning operation of the background apps, and let the users clean the background more easily Applications, and the applications that the user is interested in can be reserved for switching back and forth.
