The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the invention. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the invention as recited in the appended claims.

As shown in FIGS. 1A-1E, a UI theme named “Sunny” shows various appearances on an intelligent terminal. There are a plurality of application modules (such as a screen module, a desktop module, a state bar module, etc.) included in a theme package for one UI theme. For example, in FIG. 1A, when the intelligent terminal is in a lock screen state, a screen module of the theme package shows an appearance. In FIG. 1B, a desktop module of the theme package shows an appearance on the desktop of the intelligent terminal. With the desktop module of the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny”, the interface and icons are shown on the desktop of the intelligent terminal according to configuration parameters set by the desktop module. In FIG. 1C, a status bar module of the theme package shows an appearance on the intelligent terminal. In FIG. 1D, a contact list module of the theme package shows an appearance on the intelligent terminal. In FIG. 1E, a message module of the theme package shows an appearance on the intelligent terminal.

As shown in FIGS. 1F-1G, another UI theme named “Mailafent-memories of moonlight” shows two appearances on the intelligent terminal. There are also several application modules (such as a screen module, a desktop module, a state bar module, etc.) included in the theme package for the UI theme “Mailafent-memories of moonlight”. Specifically, in FIG. 1F, when the intelligent terminal is in a lock screen state, a screen locking module of the theme package shows an appearance. In FIG. 1G, a desktop module of the theme package shows an appearance on the desktop of the intelligent terminal. With the desktop module of the theme package “Mailafent-memories of moonlight”, the interface and icons are shown on the desktop of the intelligent terminal according to configuration parameters set by the desktop module.

From FIGS. 1A-1G, the theme package in accordance with the present embodiment, may be referred to as a series of templates displayed to the user by the application modules in the intelligent terminal, and the theme package includes application modules, such as, the desktop module of the intelligent terminal, icons corresponding to the applications, the status bar module, the screen locking module, etc.. It is understood by those skilled in the art that, by downloading different theme packages (such as, the above theme package for the UI theme “Sunny”, the theme package for the UI theme “Mailafent-memories of moonlight”) from a theme app, the intelligent terminal may display appearances of different styles. The schematic diagrams shown by FIGS. 1A-1G are merely exemplary, but should not be interpreted as limitations on the present disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a method for loading a UI theme according to an embodiment. The method may be applied in an intelligent terminal (such as, an intelligent phone, a tablet PC). In this embodiment, exemplary descriptions are made with reference to FIGS. 1A-1G. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes steps S201-S203, as will be detailed below.

In step S201, an operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal is detected.

In an embodiment, the operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal may be an operation instruction of re-opening the intelligent terminal after the user closes the intelligent terminal, an operation instruction of releasing by the user the intelligent terminal which is in the lock screen state, an operation instruction of opening by the user the message application on the touched screen of the intelligent terminal, an operation instruction of opening by the user the contact list application on the touched screen of the intelligent terminal, etc. That is, the operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal may be an operation instruction trigged by any action on the intelligent terminal from the user.

In step S202, it is determined whether an application module exits in a downloaded theme package according to the operation instruction, wherein the application module corresponds to the operation instruction.

For example, assuming that the user has downloaded the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” through a theme app, or that the user is downloading the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” through the theme app and some application modules of the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” have been downloaded and other application modules of the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” have not yet been downloaded. If it is determined that the operation instruction of the user to the intelligent terminal is an operation instruction of releasing the intelligent terminal which is in the lock screen state, firstly it is determined whether the releasing module of the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” is downloaded.

In step S203, if it is determined that the application module exists, the application module is loaded to the intelligent terminal.

For example, if it is determined that the releasing module of the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” is downloaded, the releasing module of the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” is loaded to the intelligent terminal. Once the operation instruction of the user to the intelligent terminal is detected, the application module corresponding to the operation instruction is loaded, thus, the application module may be loaded according to the interaction of the user and the intelligent terminal.

As illustrated above, the corresponding application module is loaded according to the operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal. Accordingly, the theme package is applied in the intelligent terminal without wasting a large amount of time on decompressing, copying and merging the theme package by the intelligent terminal, thus, the user's waiting time of using the theme package is reduced.

In some embodiments, the method may further include: sending a first download instruction with a first priority to a theme app installed on the intelligent terminal, if it is determined that the application module corresponding to the operation instruction does not exist; downloading the application module with the first priority through the theme app according to the first download instruction.

Details about loading the UI theme may be obtained with reference to following embodiments.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing a method for loading a UI theme according to an embodiment. Along with FIGS. 1A-1E, how the application modules of the theme package is loaded through a theme app is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes following steps.

In step S301, an operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal is detected.

Step S301 is substantially the same as that detailed above with respect to step S201 of FIG. 2, which will not be addressed.

In step S302, it is determined whether an application module corresponding to the operation instruction exits in a downloaded theme package according to the operation instruction. If the application module corresponding to the operation instruction exists, step S303 is executed. If the application module corresponding to the operation instruction does not exist, step S304 is executed.

Similar to step S202, step S302 will not be addressed.

In step S303, if it is determined that the application module corresponding to the operation instruction exists, the application module is loaded by a first thread of the intelligent terminal to the intelligent terminal, and then the procedure is finished.

Similar to step S203, step S303 will not be addressed.

In step S304, if it is determined that the application module corresponding to the operation instruction does not exist, a first download instruction with a first priority is sent to the theme appl installed on the intelligent terminal.

In some embodiments, the first priority of the first download instruction may be the highest priority, or a priority set according to the importance of application module. If the first priority is the highest priority, the application module corresponding to the operation instruction is downloaded to the intelligent terminal as soon as possible, thus, the user's waiting time of using the theme resource related to the operation instruction may be greatly reduced.

In step S305, the application module is downloaded by a second thread of the intelligent terminal through the theme app with the first priority.

In step S306, the first thread is initiated to load the application module to the intelligent terminal.

For example, if it is detected that the operation instruction of the user to the intelligent terminal is a releasing operation, then it is determined whether the releasing module corresponding to the releasing operation exists in the downloaded theme package for the UI theme “Sunny.” If it is determined that the releasing module corresponding to the releasing operation exists, the releasing module is loaded to the intelligent terminal by the first thread of the intelligent terminal. If it is determined that the releasing module corresponding to the releasing operation does not exist, the releasing module is downloaded through the theme app by the second thread of the intelligent terminal, and is loaded to the intelligent terminal by the first thread. In this way, the releasing module is loaded by the first thread, or downloaded by the second thread, thus, that the parallelization of loading the application module and downloading the application module is implemented.

As illustrated above, the application module of the theme package is downloaded by the first thread of the intelligent terminal through the theme app to the intelligent terminal, and the downloaded application module is loaded by the second thread of the intelligent terminal to the intelligent terminal, such that the parallelization of downloading and loading is implemented, thus the user's waiting time of using the theme resource related to the operation instruction is greatly reduced.

In some embodiments, the method for loading a UI theme further includes: detecting whether a second download instruction about the theme package exists in a theme app installed on the intelligent terminal; downloading the theme package via a second thread in the intelligent terminal if the second download instruction about the theme package exists. Wherein downloading the theme package via a second thread in the intelligent terminal includes: determining download priorities corresponding to application modules in the theme package; downloading the application modules in the theme package in an order determined according to the download priorities corresponding to the application modules.

In some embodiments, the method may further include: displaying an indication indicating that the theme package is successfully loaded after any application module in the theme package is downloaded.

Thus, in a situation where the intelligent device works normally, or the indication light is still on, the indication light can be switched off by a remote control. Accordingly, the dazzling feeling of the user due to the indication light is avoided. Accordingly, the user has a good rest and use electricity safely indoor, and the convenience for a family home is improved.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a method for loading a UI theme according to an embodiment. In this embodiment, how the download priorities of application modules in the theme package is adjusted is illustrated. Along with FIGS. 1A-1E, the above-mentioned method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is explained exemplarily. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes following steps.

In step S401, it is detected whether a second download instruction regarding the theme package exists in a theme app installed on the intelligent terminal.

In step S402, if it is detected that the second download instruction regarding the theme package exists, download priorities corresponding to application modules in the theme package are determined.

In step S403, a second thread is initiated to download the application modules in the theme package according to the download priorities corresponding to the application modules.

In step S404, in the process of downloading the theme package, if an operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal is detected, it is determined whether an application module corresponding to the operation instruction exists in the downloaded theme package according to the operation instruction. If it is determined that the application module corresponding to the operation instruction exists, step S405 is executed. If it is determined that the application module corresponding to the operation instruction does not exist, step S406 is executed.

In step S405, if it is determined that the application module corresponding to the operation instruction exists, a first thread is initiated to load the application module to the intelligent terminal, and the procedure is finished.

In step S406, if it is determined that the application module corresponding to the operation instruction does not exist, a first download instruction with a first priority is sent to a theme app installed on the intelligent terminal.

In step S407, the application module is downloaded with the first priority through the theme app according to the first download instruction, and then the procedure is finished.

In step S408, the first thread of the intelligent terminal is initiated to load the application module to the intelligent terminal.

For example, if a download instruction of downloading the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” is detected in the theme app, the download priorities corresponding to the application modules (such as, the desktop module, the screen locking module, the setting module, etc.) in the downloaded theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” are determined. The download priorities may be, for example, first downloading the desktop module, then downloading the screen locking module, and then downloading the setting module with the above download priorities. When an operation instruction of opening the message application from the user is detected, then it is determined whether the message module corresponding to the operation instruction of opening the message application exists in the downloaded theme package according to the operation instruction of opening the message application.

If it is determined that the message module corresponding to the operation instruction of opening the message application exists, the first thread is initiated to load the message module of the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” to the intelligent terminal. If it is determined that the message module corresponding to the operation instruction of opening the message application does not exist, the first download instruction with the first priority is sent to the theme app installed on the intelligent terminal, and the application module is downloaded with the first priority through the theme app according to the first download instruction. The first priority may be higher than each of the download priorities in step S402, thus, the message module of the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” is downloaded preferentially. Accordingly, the time caused by downloading the message module of the theme package for the UI theme “Sunny” to the intelligent terminal by the preset priority is reduced.

As illustrated above, the downloading and loading of the application module are implemented by a downloading thread and a loading thread, respectively. The application module is downloaded according to a preset priority. In the loading process, it is determined, according to the operation instruction from the user, whether the corresponding application module is downloaded with the first priority through the theme app. Thus, the parallelization of downloading and loading is achieved, accordingly, the user's waiting time of using the theme resource related to the operation instruction is realty reduced.
