Foreground and background switching entry generation and display following quit operations

A system comprising:

• a processor, the processor configured to:
• display, on a graphical user interface, content generated by a child application of a parent application;
• detect a quit operation corresponding to a child application;
• in response to detection the quit operation:
• obtain a child application identifier of the child application and a child application task corresponding to the child application identifier,
• store, in a memory, a mapping between the child application identifier and the child application task, and
• suspend display of the content generated by the child application;
• generate a foreground and background switching entry corresponding to the child application, the foreground and background switching entry associated with the child application identifier and configured to resume display of the content generated by the child application in response to being selected;
• display the foreground and background switching entry on a parent application region of the graphical user interface;
• detect a selection operation indicative of selection of the foreground and background switching entry;
• in response to detection of the selection operation:
• obtain the child application identifier associated with the foreground and background switching entry,
• obtain the child application task from the memory according to the child application identifier, and
• resume display of the content generated by the child application based on the child application task;
• and
• in response to a determination that no operation is performed on the foreground and background switching entry within a preset time threshold from a display time of the foreground and background switching entry, close the foreground and background switching entry.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising

• a plurality of instructions executable by a processor, wherein execution of the instructions cause the processor to:
• display, on a graphical user interface, content generated by a child application of a parent application;
• detect a quit operation corresponding to a child application;
• in response to detection the quit operation:
• obtain a child application identifier of the child application and a child application task corresponding to the child application identifier,
• store a mapping between the child application identifier and the child application task, and
• suspend display of the content generated by the child application;
• generate a foreground and background switching entry corresponding to the child application, the foreground and background switching entry associated with the child application identifier and configured to resume display of the content generated by the child application in response to being selected;
• display the foreground and background switching entry on a parent application region of the graphical user interface;
• detect a selection operation indicative of selection of the foreground and background switching entry;
• in response to detection of the selection operation:
• obtain the child application identifier associated with the foreground and background switching entry,
• obtain the child application task from according to the child application identifier, and
• resume display of the content generated by the child application based on the child application task;
• and
• in response to a determination that no operation is performed on the foreground and background switching entry within a preset time threshold from a display time of the foreground and background switching entry, close the foreground and background switching entry.
