Method, device and medium for application switching

A device for application switching, the device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• identify an incoming call number from which an incoming call is initiated;
• if a number stored in a local contact list is consistent with the incoming call number, obtain name identification matching the incoming call number from the local contact list;
• if no number stored in the local contact list is consistent with the incoming call number, send the incoming call number to a yellow page server, wherein the yellow page server stores corresponding relationships between a plurality of numbers and name identification, and receive the name identification returned by the yellow page server;
• automatically determine, based on the name identification and on a set of pre-set and pre-stored rules, a number type of the incoming call number according to whether the name identification was obtained from the local contact list or from the yellow pane server;
• during the call, determine an application to be used according to the number type, wherein the determining the application to be used according to the number type comprises:
• determining an application name associated with name identification of the incoming call number if the incoming call number is the yellow page number;
• and
• determining an application indicated by the application name as the application to be used;
• display on a display interface prompt information of application switching;
• and
• display a main page of the application on the display interface when detect a switching confirmation operation.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a terminal, causes the terminal to perform a method for application switching, the method comprising:

• identifying an incoming call number from which an incoming call is initiated;
• if a number stored in a local contact list is consistent with the incoming call number, obtaining name identification matching the incoming call number from the local contact list;
• if no number stored in the local contact list is consistent with the incoming call number, sending the incoming call number to a yellow page server, wherein the yellow page server stores corresponding relationships between a plurality of numbers and name identification, and receiving the name identification returned by the yellow page server;
• automatically determining, based on the name identification and on a set of pre-set and pre-stored rules, a number type of the incoming call number according to whether the name identification was obtained from the local contact list or from the yellow pane server;
• during the call, determining an application to be used according to the number type, wherein the determining the application to be used according to the number type comprises:
• determining an application name associated with name identification of the incoming call number if the incoming call number is the yellow page number;
• and
• determining an application indicated by the application name as the application to be used;
• displaying on a display interface prompt information of application switching;
• and
• displaying a main page of the application on the display interface when detecting a switching confirmation operation.
