Abstract

An information processing method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: detecting a first operation of a first application, where the first operation is for displaying a first interface corresponding to the first application on a display of the electronic device; determining whether the first application is identical to one of M applications to obtain a first determination result where M is a positive integer, where each of the M applications has at least one corresponding interface currently displayed on the display of the electronic device; and generating and outputting a prompt message if the first determination result indicates that the first application is not identical to any one of the M applications.

Claims

1.

determining whether the first application is identical to one of the M applications;

displaying, by the processor, the first interface corresponding to the first application on the displayer of the electronic device in response to the first operation after determining that the first application is identical to one of the M applications;

generating, by the processor, and outputting a prompt message indicating that the first interface corresponding to the first application is about to be displayed in response to determining that the first application is not identical to any one of the M applications; and

based upon a user input operation received in response to the prompt message, prohibiting, by the processor, display of the first interface corresponding to the first application on the displayer of the electronic device when the user input operation indicates that it is prohibited to respond to the first operation.

2. The information processing method according to claim 1, wherein the generating and outputting, by the processor, the prompt message comprises:

generating, by the processor, a prompt message indicating that the first interface corresponding to the first application is about to be displayed on the displayer of the electronic device; and

displaying, by the processor, the prompt message in a first area of the display of the electronic device.

3. The information processing method according to claim 2, after the displaying, by the processor, the prompt message in the first area of the displayer of the electronic device, further comprises:

detecting, by the processor, the user input operation based on the prompt message.

4. The information processing method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining, by the processor, at least one application interface displayed on the displayer of the electronic device;

determining, by the processor, an application corresponding to each application interface;

acquiring, by the processor, at least one application parameter corresponding to each application; and

generating and outputting, by the processor, a first notice corresponding to the application based on the at least one application parameter.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the determining, by the processor, an application corresponding to each application interface comprises:

acquiring, by the processor, a first address corresponding to the application interface in the electronic device; and

determining, by the processor, an application corresponding to the first address to be the application corresponding to the application interface.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the acquiring, by the processor, at least one application parameter corresponding to each application comprises:

acquiring, by the processor, an application name and an application package name of the application, wherein the application package name is an identifier of the application stored in the electronic device.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the generating and outputting, by the processor, a first notice corresponding to the application based on the at least one application parameter comprises:

generating, by the processor, the first notice comprising the application name and the application package name; and

displaying, by the processor, a first window comprising the first notice within a first area of the displayer of the electronic device.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein the generating and outputting, by the processor, a first notice corresponding to the application based on the at least one application parameter comprises:

generating, by the processor, the first notice comprising the application name and the application package name; and

displaying, by the processor, the first notice within a first area of the application interface.

9. The information processing method according to claim 1, wherein the determining, by the processor, whether the first application is identical to one of the M applications comprises:

acquiring, by the processor, a first process corresponding to the first application;

acquiring, by the processor, M second processes respectively corresponding to the M applications; and

determining, by the processor, whether the first process is identical to one of the M second processes to obtain a first determination result.

10. An electronic device comprising:

a displayer

a storage medium including operation instructions; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the storage medium, wherein, M applications are operating on the electronic device, where M is a positive integer, each of the M applications has at least one interface currently displayed on the displayer of the electronic device, and when the processor executes the operation instructions, the operation instructions cause the processor to;

detect a first operation of a first application, wherein the first application is operating in a background of the electronic device, and the first operation is for displaying a first interface corresponding to the first application on the displayer of the electronic device;

determine whether the first application is identical to one of the M applications;

display the first interface corresponding to the first application on the displayer of the electronic device in response to the first operation after determining that the first application is identical to one of the M applications;

generate and output a prompt message after determining that the first application is not identical to any one of the M applications; and

based upon a user input operation received in response to the prompt message, prohibit display of the first interface corresponding to the first application on the displayer of the electronic device when the user input operation indicates that it is prohibited to respond to the first operation.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the generate and output the prompt message further comprises:

generate a prompt message indicating that the first interface corresponding to the first application is about to be displayed on the displayer of the electronic device; and

display the prompt message in a first area of the displayer of the electronic device.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein, when the processor executes the operation instructions, the processor is further configured to:

detect the user input operation based on the prompt message.

13. The electronic device according to claim 10, wherein, when the processor executes the operation instructions, the processor is further configured to:
