The invention relates to the field of internet technologies, and in particular, to a method, system and terminal for interface presentation.
Nowadays, the cloud disk technology or the personal network U disk storage technology can only store a single or bulk data file or document material(s). If a user needs to download document work unfinished in a corporation to a home computer to continue his work utilizing a cloud disk or a network disk, the user needs to carry out tedious operations of selecting files one by one, uploading them in sequence, and selecting and downloading in sequence on the network disk each time, and in such a process some documents or materials may be missed, which makes the use efficiency of the user low. In addition, an interface remote operation may realize a remote control technique, which allows a user to access a computer providing the service of remote desktop sharing from a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) through the TCP/IP protocol. The user logs in the computer remotely, as if he operates on his own computer, and the used interface is identical to that of the remote computer. In other words, the user uses a computer A, remotely logs in a computer B, and may operate directly on the computer B. However, this remote control technique has the following problems: first, the computer B must be kept in a switched-on state all the time, and when the computer B is in a switched-off state, the sharing cannot be realized; second, when the user uses the remote control technique, he needs to invoke a system program to perform a complex setup, which is not conducive to the widespread use by users; and third, the current remote desktop sharing technique does not satisfy the cross-platform use.
In view of the above problems, the invention is proposed to provide a method, system and terminal for interface presentation which overcome the above problems or at least in part solve or mitigate the above problems.
According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for interface presentation, which comprises: a first terminal receiving a request message for saving the current user interface, capturing the current interface information based on the request message, and uploading the interface information to a network storage server; a second terminal receiving a triggering instruction, initiating to the network storage server a request for invoking the interface information, constructing a user executable interface with the invoked interface information, and presenting the constructed interface.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a system for interface presentation, which comprises: a first terminal configured to receive a request message for saving the current user interface, capture the current interface information based on the request message, and upload the interface information to a network storage server; a second terminal configured to receive a triggering instruction, initiate to the network storage server a request for invoking the interface information, construct a user executable interface with the invoked interface information, and present the constructed interface; and the network storage server configured to store the interface information uploaded by the first terminal, and provide the second terminal with an interface for invoking the interface information.
According to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a terminal for interface presentation, which comprises: an interface storage configured to, when the terminal is taken as an interface presentation initiating side, receive a request message for saving the current user interface, capture the current interface information based on the request message, and upload the interface information to a network storage server; an interface display configured to, when the terminal is taken as an interface presentation receiving side, receive a triggering instruction, initiate to the network storage server a request for invoking the interface information, construct a user executable interface with the invoked interface information, and present the constructed interface.
According to yet another aspect of the invention, there is provided a computer program comprising a computer readable code which causes a server to perform the method for interface presentation according to any of claims 1-14, when said computer readable code is running on the server.
According to still another aspect of the invention, there is provided a computer readable medium storing the computer program.

Fifthly, the invention can not only realize remote asynchronous sharing of an interface, but also realize dual presentation of desktop information and task information, which further enhances continuity of work and user's experience.
The above description is merely an overview of the technical solutions of the invention. In the following particular embodiments of the invention will be illustrated in order that the technical means of the invention can be more clearly understood and thus may be embodied according to the content of the specification, and that the foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention can be more apparent.
Various other advantages and benefits will become apparent to those of ordinary skills in the art by reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments. The drawings are only for the purpose of showing the preferred embodiments, and are not considered to be limiting to the invention. And throughout the drawings, like reference signs are used to denote like components. In the drawings:
In the following the invention will be further described in connection with the drawings and the particular embodiments.
In order to resolve the problems in the prior art in which use of network storage can only store specified files, the operations are tedious, the efficiency is low, and the asynchronous sharing of an interface cannot be satisfied, the invention provides such a method, system and terminal for interface presentation. In the following, the invention will be further described in detail in connection with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the particular embodiments described herein are only used for explaining and not defining the invention.
An embodiment of the invention provides a method for interface presentation, and as shown in
Step S101: a first terminal receives a request message for saving the current user interface;
Step S102: the first terminal captures the current interface information based on the request message, and uploads the interface information to a network storage server.
In this step, the interface information comprises: elements (including file(s) and application(s), etc.) on an interface of the first terminal, and layout information of individual elements on the interface; preferably, the interface information further comprises background information of the interface.
Preferably, in this step, when the first terminal uploads the interface information to the network storage server, if the corresponding interface information is the shortcut icon of an element, the first terminal locates a target file corresponding to the shortcut icon, and uploads the target file to the network storage server.
Preferably, in this step, the network storage server is a cloud disk server, for example, a 360 cloud disk, etc.
Step S103: a second terminal receives a triggering instruction, and initiates to the network storage server a request for invoking the interface information; Step S104: the second terminal constructs a user executable interface with the invoked interface information, and presents the constructed interface.
In this step, the manner in which the second terminal presents the constructed interface comprises: displaying the constructed user executable interface in a standalone window, or copying the constructed user executable interface to the interface of the second terminal for full-screen display. Therein, when displaying in a standalone window, it may be presented in the form of a 360 secure desktop, presented in various open platform interfaces, or presented in the form of a webpage browser.
Further, in this step, after the second terminal displays the user executable interface, it may receive a relevant instruction of a user to perform a triggering operation on a corresponding element in the executable interface.
It needs to be noted that in the invention, when the second terminal presents the constructed interface, the state of the first terminal may be a switched-on state, or also may be a switched-off state; and the interface presented by the second terminal corresponds to the interface information saved by the network storage server. It can be seen that, the implementation of the method for interface presentation of the invention does not depend on the operating state of the first terminal and the current interface display condition of the first terminal, thereby overcoming the problem in the prior art in which remote asynchronous presentation of an interface can not be accomplished. Meanwhile, for applying the method of this embodiment, the user only needs to initiate a storage request and an invocation request to the network storage server, for which the operation is simple and convenient, and which also overcomes the problem of the setting operation being complex, etc. in the prior art.
In addition, it needs to be further noted that, in this embodiment, that the process of uploading the interface information of the first terminal to the network storage server is different from the traditional process of uploading a network file. Taking that the network storage server is a cloud disk server as an example, the traditional cloud disk technique can only be operated by a user using a computer A (e.g., of a workplace) to specify a specific file to be uploaded to the cloud, and then the user returning home to use a computer B to download the file from the cloud. However, often the work computer A and the home computer B are different in their systems, interfaces, desktop layouts, and storage locations, and only a certain file is downloaded for use, and there is no continuity of work experience, which greatly affects the work efficiency. Yet in the invention, after the user sends out a request for uploading an interface, the first terminal uploads to the network storage server all the interface information, comprising individual elements on the interface, the information on the positions and layout of the individual elements, and the background information of the interface, etc., and when the user invokes the interface information through the second terminal, the interface information of the first terminal may be fully presented on the second terminal, which greatly improves the user's experience.
In order to more clearly set forth the particular implementation process of this embodiment and the achieved effect, in the following the method of the invention will be described in detail with a particular example, which is as follows:
When a user works on a work computer, he classifies and stores materials, applications, etc. commonly used in work on the desktop, and lays out the classified individual files in a manner that he easily finds them himself.
When the user has a need for remote interface presentation: the user may invoke or trigger a cloud disk server on the work computer, and upload to the cloud disk server the current interface information of the work computer, such as elements on the interface, information on the positions where the individual elements are located, the layout information of the individual elements, and the background information of the interface, etc.;
When the user needs remote presentation, he invokes or triggers the cloud disk server on a current application computer, and presents the interface information of the work computer saved by the cloud disk server alone after it is invoked. At this point, the presented interface is exactly identical to the interface information of the work computer when it is saved.
After the remote interface presentation by the user, since the displayed interface is exactly identical to the work interface, it is convenient for the user to find and retrieve material(s), which greatly increases the work efficiency of the user.
An embodiment of the invention provides a method for interface presentation, the way of implementation of this method is essentially identical to that of the method for presentation of the first embodiment, the difference lies in the captured interface information and the presented content of the interface, and therefore, in the following illustration, the processing mode identical to that of the first embodiment will not be repeated here. Continue as shown in
Step S101: a first terminal receives a request message for saving the current user interface;
Step S102: the first terminal captures the current interface information based on the request message, and uploads the interface information to a network storage server.
In this step, the interface information comprises: elements on an interface of the first terminal, layout information of individual elements on the interface and the task information in a taskbar of the first terminal; preferably, the interface information further comprises background information of the interface. Therein, the task information is preferably a uniform resource locator URL browsed via a browser and/or a file currently opened by a user.
Further, in this step, when the task information is a file currently opened by a user, the first terminal judges whether the file is stored on the interface, and if yes, marks the status of the file as being opened, and uploads the file name and the marked status of the file to the network storage server; otherwise, locates the actual storage location of the file, marks the status information of the file as being opened after obtaining the file, and uploads the file and the marked status information together to the network storage server.
When the task information is a URL currently browsed via a browser, the first terminal captures the URL information currently browsed via the browser, and uploads the URL information currently browsed via the browser to the network storage server.
Step S103: a second terminal receives a triggering instruction, and initiates to the network storage server a request for invoking the interface information;
Step S104: the second terminal constructs a user executable interface with the invoked interface information, and presents the constructed interface.
In this step, that the second terminal constructs a user executable interface with the invoked interface information and presents the constructed interface particularly comprises: the second terminal constructs a user executable interface based on elements on the interface of the first terminal and the layout information of individual elements, and displays the executable interface in a standalone window, or copies it to the interface of the second terminal for full-screen display, and constructs a taskbar in the display window, and create a task corresponding to the task information in the taskbar.
Therein, since when the first terminal uploads the task information, it has conducted status recording for the opened file and conducted URL recording for the opened browser, the creation of the above task may be realized.
From the above, this embodiment realizes dual presentation of desktop information and task information, which further enhances continuity of work and improves user's experience.
