Inter-application communication method and apparatus, storage medium, and program product

An inter-application communication apparatus for use in an electronic device, the electronic device running a first apparatus and a second apparatus, one of the first apparatus or the second apparatus is a virtual machine and the other is a physical machine, the inter-application communication apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with the memory, the at least one processor configured, upon execution of the instructions, to perform the following steps:
• writing a first command into a first command queue based on a first request sent by a first application, the first request and the first command comprising an identifier of a second application on the second apparatus;
• outputting a first inter-core interrupt to a core in which the second apparatus is located so the second apparatus is capable of obtaining the first inter-core interrupt;
• obtaining the first command from the first command queue based on the first inter-core interrupt;
• and
• running the second application based on the identifier that is of the second application and that is in the first command.

A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer instructions for an inter-application communication for use in an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a first apparatus and a second apparatus, one of the first apparatus or the second apparatus is a virtual machine and the other is a physical machine, wherein the computer instructions configure at least one processor, upon execution of the instructions, to perform the following steps:

• writing, by the first apparatus, a first command into a first command queue based on a first request sent by a first application, wherein the first request and the first command comprise an identifier of a second application on the second apparatus;
• outputting, by the first apparatus, a first inter-core interrupt to a core in which the second apparatus is located, so that the second apparatus is capable of obtaining the first inter-core interrupt;
• obtaining, by the second apparatus, the first command from the first command queue based on the first inter-core interrupt;
• and
• running, by the second apparatus, the second application based on the identifier that is of the second application and that is in the first command.
