Abstract

A method for managing user interface includes displaying related information of an in-vehicle device using a first user interface. An authority of accessing related information of a handheld device is acquired when the handheld device is in communication with the in-vehicle device. Once the related information of the handheld device is obtained, the related information of the in-vehicle device and the related information of the handheld device are displayed using a second user interface.

Claims (24)

1. A user interface managing method applicable in an in-vehicle device, the method comprising:

displaying related information of the in-vehicle device on a first user interface, wherein the first user interface comprises at least one display sub-area;

acquiring an authority of a handheld device, when the handheld device is in communication with the in-vehicle device;

obtaining related information of the handheld device when the authority is acquired; and

displaying the related information of the in-vehicle device and the related information of the handheld device on a second user interface, wherein the second user interface comprises three display sub-areas, the at least one display sub-area of the first user interface and one of the display sub-areas of the second user interface have the same shape and size, one of the three display sub-areas of the second user interface displays the related information of the handheld device, one of the three display sub-areas of the second user interface displays the related information of the in-vehicle device, and one of the three display sub-areas of the second user interface displays the related information of the handheld device and the related information of the in-vehicle device.

2. The user interface managing method according to claim 1 , wherein when the first user interface displays related information about a navigation interface of a first navigation application of the in-vehicle device, the in-vehicle device obtains related information about navigation data of a second navigation application of the handheld device.

3. The user interface managing method according to claim 2 , wherein the navigation data of the second navigation application of the handheld device comprises a destination that the second navigation application navigated to within a preset time period.

4. The user interface managing method according to claim 1 , wherein when the first user interface displays related information about a video/audio interface of a first music application of the in-vehicle device, the in-vehicle device obtains related information about video/audio data of a second music application of the handheld device.

5. The user interface managing method according to claim 4 , wherein the video/audio data of the second music application comprises a recently played music and a playing progress of the recently played music, an identifier of a user who logs in to the second music application, video/audio files played by the handheld device within a preset time period, cover pages corresponding to the video/audio files played by the handheld device within the preset time period, and a list of favorite songs of the handheld device.

6. The user interface managing method according to claim 1 , further comprises;

synchronizing a list of favorite songs corresponding to each of a plurality of users to the in-vehicle device.

7. An in-vehicle device comprising:

a storage device;

at least one processor; and

the storage device storing one or more programs, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

display related information of the in-vehicle device on a first user interface, wherein the first user interface comprises at least one display sub-area;

acquire an authority of a handheld device, when the handheld device is in communication with the in-vehicle device;

obtain related information of the handheld device when the authority is acquired; and

display the related information of the in-vehicle device and the related information of the handheld device on a second user interface, wherein the second user interface comprises three display sub-areas, the at least one display sub-area of the first user interface and one of the display sub-areas of the second user interface have the same shape and size, wherein one of the three display sub-areas of the second user interface displays the related information of the handheld device, one of the three display sub-areas of the second user interface displays the related information of the in-vehicle device, and one of the three display sub-areas of the second user interface displays the related information of the handheld device and the related information of the in-vehicle device.

8. A user interface managing method applicable in an in-vehicle device, the method comprising:

displaying related information of the in-vehicle device on a first user interface, wherein the first user interface comprises at least one display sub-area;

acquiring an authority of a handheld device, when the handheld device is in communication with the in-vehicle device;

obtaining related information of the handheld device when the authority is acquired; and

displaying the related information of the in-vehicle device and the related information of the handheld device on a second user interface, wherein the second user interface comprises three display sub-areas, one of the three display sub-areas of the second user interface displays the related information of the handheld device, one of the three display sub-areas of the second user interface displays the related information of the in-vehicle device, and one of the three display sub-areas of the second user interface displays the related information of the handheld device and the related information of the in-vehicle device.
