The terminal device displays the target identifier in the area corresponding to the target object, that is, the terminal device displays the first application identifier and the like in part or all of the area of the target object.

Exemplarily, take the target identifier as the first application identifier as an example for description. The first input can also be the user's sliding input on the target object (selecting the target object), and triggering the terminal device to put the second The first application identifier displayed on the screen, the input displayed in the area corresponding to the target object, then in response to the first input, as shown in (b) in FIG. (That is, part of the area of intrigue, not all of them need to be covered and displayed).

In this way, the first input is two times of input, compared with the one-time input of the first input, the operation of the user can be simplified, and the user experience can be improved.

Step 203: The terminal device receives the second input from the user.

The second input may be an input for a user to trigger the terminal device to search for a target object, and the second input may be a click input, a slide input, etc., which is specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Exemplarily, following the above example, the target identifier is the first application identifier as an example for description. The second input may be the input of the user double-clicking APP 2 (the first application identifier) displayed in the first screen; the second input may be the input of the user clicking the APP 2 (the first application identifier) displayed in the second screen; In addition to displaying the first application logo on the target object, the device also displays on or around the first application logo displayed in the first screen (for example, below the first application logo) In the case of the "OK" option, the second input may be the input of the user clicking the "OK" option; after the terminal device displays the first application identifier on the target object, a prompt is also displayed on the first screen or the second screen information, and when the prompt information is used to prompt whether to search for the target object, the second input may be an input for the user to select "Yes".

Step 204: In response to the second input, the terminal device displays the first interface on the target screen.

The display content of the first interface includes the search result of the target object in the first application, and the target screen is the first screen or the second screen.

In response to the second input, the terminal device obtains the target object (that is, obtains the content to be searched), searches the first application for the target object, obtains the search result of the target object in the first application, and displays the first interface.

Optionally, the terminal device displays the first interface on the first screen. Optionally, the terminal device displays the first interface on both the first screen and the second screen. Optionally, the terminal device displays the first interface on the second screen.

Displaying the first interface on the second screen by the terminal device not only simplifies the entire search process, but also does not interrupt the user's operations on the current interface on the first screen. After the search results in the first interface, when the user needs to continue to view the content originally displayed on the first screen, the user no longer needs to find the interface of the original content through a series of operations, thus ensuring the smoothness of the user's use of the mobile phone and improving the user experience. .

Exemplarily, when the above steps 201-202 are specifically implemented by steps 201a-step 202a-step 201b-step 202b (that is, when the target identifier covers other contents in addition to the target object), combined with 4 , as shown in FIG. 7 , before the above step 204 , the search method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 205 to 206 ; the step 204 may be specifically implemented by the following step 204 a .

Step 205: In response to the second input, the terminal device displays a second interface on the target screen, where the second interface is a search interface in the first application.

The target object and the first content are displayed in the search bar in the second interface.

In response to the second input, the terminal device obtains the content to be searched covered by the target identifier, starts the first application, displays the search interface in the first application on the target screen, and displays the target object in the search bar in the first application and the first content (other content).

Exemplarily, with reference to (a) in FIG. 6 , in the search bar in the first application, "wipe, no intrigue, just think, she is in love" is displayed.

Step 206: The terminal device receives the third input from the user.

The third input is used to trigger the terminal device to cancel the display of the first content from the search bar.

The third input is the input of the user to delete the first content from the search bar of the first application.

Exemplarily, following the above example and as shown in (a) of FIG. 6 , the third input is the input of the user to delete “wipe, no, just think, she loves” from the search bar in the first application.

Step 204a: In response to the third input, the terminal device displays the first interface on the target screen.

For details, reference may be made to the above related description of step 204, which will not be repeated here.

Optionally, the fourth input may be the user's click input, sliding input, etc. on the first application logo displayed on the second screen, which is specifically determined according to actual use requirements. The embodiments of the invention are not limited.

Step 208: In response to the fourth input, the terminal device displays the interface of the first application, and displays a third interface on the interface of the first application.

The third interface includes N objects, and the N objects include the target object.

The interface of the first application may be displayed in at least one of the first screen and the second screen.

Optionally, the third interface may be superimposed and displayed on the interface of the first application, or may be displayed in a suspended manner on the interface of the first application, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, the N objects are displayed on the third interface in the form of a list or a chart, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

The N objects are N search objects obtained by the terminal device before receiving the fourth input, that is, before the user triggers the terminal device to enable the first application, the user first triggers the terminal device to obtain N search objects from the first screen ( For specific implementation, reference may be made to the relevant descriptions of the above steps 201-202). In response to the fourth input, the terminal device displays the interface of the first application (for example, the main interface of the first application or the search interface of the first application, etc.), and then receives the input of the user selecting one object (target object) from the N objects (Second input), display the search result interface (first interface) including the target object.

The user can also delete at least one object among the N objects. For details, refer to the related art, which is not repeated in this embodiment of the present invention.

In this way, the user can select multiple search objects in sequence on the first screen, and when the user starts the first application search, the selected multiple objects are displayed for the user to determine the object to be searched finally, thereby improving the user experience.

Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 9 , the step 203 may be specifically implemented by the following step 203a; the step 204 may be specifically implemented by the following step 204b.

Step 203a: The terminal device receives a second input of the first application identifier from the user.

For the description of the second input, reference may be made to the relevant description of the fourth input in the foregoing step 207, which is not repeated here.

Step 204b: In response to the second input, the terminal device superimposes and displays N interfaces on the target screen.

The N interfaces include the first interface, each of the N interfaces includes a result of searching for an object in the first application, and the N objects are objects acquired before the second input.

The N objects are N search objects obtained by the terminal device before receiving the second input, that is, before the user triggers the terminal device to activate the first application, the user first triggers the terminal device to obtain N search objects from the first screen ( For specific implementation, reference may be made to the relevant descriptions of the above steps 201-202). In response to the second input, the terminal device superimposes and displays N interfaces on the target screen (at least one of the first screen and the second screen), and each interface includes a search result for an object in the first application. That is, the user can view the search results of multiple objects at the same time.

The user can delete at least one interface among the N interfaces as required.

In this way, operation steps are saved, search efficiency is improved, and user experience can be improved.
