Method, apparatus and medium for switching application interfaces

An apparatus for switching application interfaces, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive one interface switching request for a target application, the interface switching request being used to request the target application to be switched from a current display interface to a target display interface, the target application being a system application installed on the smart terminal device;
• acquire first interface data from the target application for generating the target display interface in response to the interface switching request;
• generate a lite interface and switching from the current display interface to the lite interface through a preset transition animation during acquisition of the first interface data;
• generate an intermediate interface based on a part of the first interface data, during the acquisition of the first interface data, after switching to the lite interface, wherein the part of the first interface data is acquired after receiving the interface switching request;
• substitute the intermediate interface for the lite interface;
• generate the target display interface based on the first interface data when the first interface data is acquired completely;
• and
• substituting the target display interface for the intermediate interface when the target display interface is generated.

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

• receiving one interface switching request for a target application, the interface switching request being used to request the target application to be switched from a current display interface to a target display interface, the target application being a system application installed on the smart terminal device;
• acquiring first interface data from the target application for generating the target display interface in response to the interface switching request;
• generating a lite interface and switching from the current display interface to the lite interface through a preset transition animation during acquisition of the first interface data;
• generating an intermediate interface based on a part of the first interface data, during the acquisition of the first interface data, after switching to the lite interface, wherein the part of the first interface data is acquired after receiving the interface switching request;
• substituting the intermediate interface for the lite interface;
• generating the target display interface based on the first interface data when the first interface data is acquired completely;
• and
• substituting the target display interface for the intermediate interface when the target display interface is generated.
