Abstract
A method for enabling a task management interface includes receiving an instruction for enabling the task management interface, displaying the task management interface in response to the instruction for enabling the task management interface, where the task management interface includes a preview interface of at least one application program and an icon corresponding to at least one function of the application program, receiving an operation instruction for the icon, and switching the application program corresponding to the icon to a foreground and executing the function in response to the operation instruction.
Claims20
A method for displaying a task management interface, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving an instruction for enabling the task management interface;
- selecting, in response to the instruction, a first application program with reference to a current user state, wherein the current user state comprises a current time, a current geographic location, a first indication of whether the first application program is running or not running, or a second indication of whether the first application program is a local application program;
- sending a broadcast message to the first application program, wherein the broadcast message is used to trigger the first application program to return an entrance parameter of at least one function;
- storing the entrance parameter of the at least one function in a storage area corresponding to the first application program:
- displaying the task management interface, wherein the task management interface comprises a preview interface of the first application program, and wherein the preview interface corresponds to a first function of the first application program according to the entrance parameter, wherein the first function is one of the at least one function, and wherein the entrance parameter comprises a commonly used function indicator;
- receiving an operation to the preview interface;
- switching, in response to the operation, the task management interface to the first application program;
- and
- displaying the first function.

A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to:
- receive an instruction for enabling a task management interface;
- select, in response to the instruction, a first application program with reference to a current user state;
- wherein the current user state comprises a current time, a current geographic location, a first indication of whether the first application program is running or not running, or a second indication of whether the first application program is a local application program;
- send a broadcast message to the first application program, wherein the broadcast message is used to trigger the first application program to return an entrance parameter of at least one function;
- store the entrance parameter of the at least one function in a storage area corresponding to the first application program:
- display the task management interface, wherein the task management interface comprises a preview interface of the first application program, and wherein the preview interface corresponds to a first function of the first application program according to the entrance parameter, wherein the first function is one of the at least one function, and wherein the entrance parameter comprises a commonly used function indicator;
- receive an operation to the preview interface;
- switch, in response to the operation, the task management interface to the first application program;
- and
- display the first function.
