Application handoff method and apparatus

An application handoff system, wherein the application handoff system comprises a first device and a second device,

• the second electronic device is configured to:
• display an icon of a first target application and an identifier for indicating application handoff in response to reception of a first message sent by the first device, wherein the first message is used for indicating the second device to implement handoff for the first target application;
• when duration in which a focus of the first device is on the first target application exceeds a time threshold, remove the focus of the first device from the first target application;
• the first electronic device is configured to:
• in response to any operation performed on the first target application on the first device, re-initiate a handoff function to the second device, and the second device display the icon of the first target application and the identifier for indicating application handoff;
• and
• the second electronic device is configured to display a first application interface of the first target application in response to a fourth operation performed on the icon, wherein the first application interface is related to a second application interface displayed when the first device sends the first message to the second device.

An application handoff method, applied to an application handoff system, wherein the method comprises:

• displaying, by the second device, an icon of a first target application and an identifier for indicating application handoff in response to reception of a first message sent by the first device, wherein the first message is used for indicating the second device to implement handoff for the first target application;
• when duration in which a focus of the first device is on the first target application exceeds a time threshold, removing the focus of the first device from the first target application;
• in response to any operation performed on the first target application on the first device, re-initiating, by the first device, a handoff function to the second device, and displaying, by the second device, the icon of the first target application and the identifier for indicating application handoff;
• and
• displaying, by the second device, a first application interface of the first target application in response to a fourth operation performed on the icon, wherein the first application interface is related to a second application interface displayed when the first device sends the first message to the second device.

A computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer program, which when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• displaying, by the second device, an icon of a first target application and an identifier for indicating application handoff in response to reception of a first message sent by the first device, wherein the first message is used for indicating the second device to implement handoff for the first target application;
• when duration in which a focus of the first device is on the first target application exceeds a time threshold, removing the focus of the first device from the first target application;
• in response to any operation performed on the first target application on the first device, re-initiating, by the first device, a handoff function to the second device, and displaying, by the second device, the icon of the first target application and the identifier for indicating application handoff;
• and
• displaying, by the second device, a first application interface of the first target application in response to a fourth operation performed on the icon, wherein the first application interface is related to a second application interface displayed when the first device sends the first message to the second device.
