Processing method for waiting scenario in application and apparatus

1. A processing method implemented by an electronic device, wherein the processing method comprises:

running a first application;

displaying a first interface of the first application, wherein the first interface comprises waiting information;

receiving, from the first application, a first instruction notifying that waiting of the first application has started;

displaying first information about a second application based on the first instruction, wherein the first information refers to a second interface of the second application, and wherein the second interface comprises the waiting information; and

continuing, after displaying the first information, running the first application in a background,

wherein a first running state of the first application in the background is consistent with a second running state of the first application in a foreground when a remaining waiting duration of the first application is not suspended but continues counting down in the background.

2. The processing method of claim 1 , further comprising intercepting a pause command transmitted to the first application.

3. The processing method of claim 1 , wherein the first information refers to an icon of the second application, and wherein the processing method further comprises:

receiving, from a user on the icon, a selection operation; and

displaying, in response to the selection operation, the second interface of the second application.

4. The processing method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying second information about the first application when the remaining waiting duration ends.

5. The processing method of claim 4 , wherein the second information refers to a display interface of the first application after the remaining waiting duration ends.

6. The processing method of claim 4 , wherein the second information refers to an icon of the first application, and wherein the processing method further comprises:

receiving, from the user, a tap operation on the icon; and

displaying, in response to the tap operation, a display interface of the first application after the remaining waiting duration ends.

7. The processing method of claim 1 , wherein the first instruction comprises the remaining waiting duration.

8. The processing method of claim 1 , further comprising running the second application in the background.

9. The processing method of claim 1 , further comprising avoiding terminating a process corresponding to the first application when the first application runs in the background.

10. The processing method of claim 1 , further comprising playing audio information of the first application when the first application runs in the background.

11. The processing method of claim 1 , wherein the waiting information comprises a countdown icon, waiting duration text information, or pause information.

12. The processing method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the first application based on the second running state, a second instruction instructing the first application to continue running.

13. The processing method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the waiting information in the first interface; and

determining the remaining waiting duration.

14. The processing method of claim 1 , wherein a quantity of running times of the second application is greater than a preset threshold.

15. The processing method of claim 1 , wherein a running duration of the second application within a preset time is greater than a preset threshold.

16. The processing method of claim 1 , wherein the second application is preconfigured in the electronic device.

17. An electronic device comprising:

a memory configured to store a computer program code comprising computer instructions; and

a processor coupled to the memory, wherein when executed by the processor, the computer instructions cause the electronic device to:

run a first application;

display a first interface of the first application, wherein the first interface comprises waiting information;

receive, from the first application, an instruction notifying that waiting of the first application has started;

display information about a second application based on the instruction, wherein the first information refers to a second interface of the second application, and wherein the second interface comprises the waiting information; and

continue, after displaying the information, running the first application in a background,

wherein a first running state of the first application in the background is consistent with a second running state of the first application in a foreground when a remaining waiting duration of the first application is not suspended but continues counting down in the background.

18. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the waiting information comprises a countdown icon, waiting duration text information, or pause information.

19. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the second application is preconfigured in the electronic device.

20. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions that are stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and that, when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to:

run a first application;

display a first interface of the first application, wherein the first interface comprises waiting information;

receive, from the first application, an instruction notifying that waiting of the first application has started;

display information about a second application based on the instruction, wherein the first information refers to a second interface of the second application, and wherein the second interface comprises the waiting information; and

continue, after displaying the information, running the first application in a background,

wherein a first running state of the first application in the background is consistent with a second running state of the first application in a foreground when a remaining waiting duration of the first application is not suspended but continues counting down in the background.
