Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and provides an application displaying method and a mobile communication terminal based on a user'"'"'s habit. The method includes: when the mobile communication terminal runs an application, acquiring a statistical value of displaying in a landscape manner and a statistical value of displaying in a portrait manner when the mobile communication terminal previously ran the application, comparing the statistical value of the landscape-manner displaying and the statistical value of the portrait-manner displaying to acquire a displaying manner corresponding to a larger displaying statistical value; and displaying a display interface of the application of the mobile communication terminal in the displaying manner corresponding to the larger displaying statistical value.

Claims

1. An application displaying method based on a user'"'"'s habit, comprising:

when a mobile communication terminal runs an application, acquiring a statistical value of displaying in a landscape manner and a statistical value of displaying in a portrait manner when the mobile communication terminal previously ran the application, which acquired statistical values are larger than a preset statistical value;

separately recording run time values and/or the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application; and

separately accumulating the run time values and/or the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application, and then obtaining a time value and/or the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and a time value and/or the number of times of the portrait-manner displaying of each application;

comparing the statistical value of the landscape-manner displaying and the statistical value of the portrait-manner displaying to acquire a displaying manner corresponding to a larger displaying statistical value, wherein in a case of recording the run time values and the numbers of times of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application, when the time values are close to each other, acquiring the displaying manner corresponding to a larger displaying number of times by using the number of times as a basis for comparison; and

when the numbers of times are close to each other, acquiring the displaying manner corresponding to a larger displaying time value by using the time value as a basis for comparison; and

displaying a display interface of the application of the mobile communication terminal in the displaying manner corresponding to the larger displaying statistical value.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein separately recording the run time values and/or the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application, comprises:

separately recording the run time values and/or the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application, by using two parameters configland and configport in an Android™

installation package.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein displaying in a landscape manner comprises displaying in a landscape orientation, and displaying in a portrait manner comprises displaying in a portrait orientation.

3. A mobile communication terminal based on a user'"'"'s habit, wherein the mobile communication terminal comprises:

an acquisition unit, configured to, when a mobile communication terminal runs an application, acquire a statistical value of displaying in a landscape manner and a statistical value of displaying in a portrait manner, which acquired statistical values are larger than a preset statistical value, when the mobile communication terminal previously ran the application;

a comparison unit, configured to compare the statistical value of the landscape-manner displaying and the statistical value of the portrait-manner displaying to acquire a displaying manner corresponding to a larger displaying statistical value, wherein in a case of recording the run time values and the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application, when the time values are close to each other, acquiring the displaying manner corresponding to a larger displaying number of times by using the number of times as a basis for comparison; and

when the numbers of times are close to each other, acquiring the displaying manner corresponding to a larger displaying time value by using the time value as a basis for comparison;

a displaying unit, configured to display a display interface of the application of the mobile communication terminal in the displaying manner corresponding to the larger displaying statistical value; and

wherein the mobile communication terminal further comprises;

a monitoring unit, configured to, before the acquisition unit acquires, when the application of the mobile communication terminal is run, the statistical value of the landscape-manner displaying and the statistical value of the portrait-manner displaying of the application of the mobile communication terminal, monitor statistical conditions of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application of the mobile communication terminal.

4. The mobile communications terminal according to claim 3, wherein the monitoring unit comprises:

a recording module, configured to separately record run time values and/or the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application, and

a calculation module, configured to separately accumulate the run time values and/or the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application, and then obtain a time value and/or the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and a time value and/or the number of times of the portrait-manner displaying of each application.

5. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 3, wherein the recording module is further configured to separately record the run time values and/or the number of times of the landscape-manner displaying and the portrait-manner displaying of each application, by using two parameters configland and configport in an Android™

installation package.

7. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 3, wherein displaying in a landscape manner comprises displaying in a landscape orientation, and displaying in a portrait manner comprises displaying in a portrait orientation.
