Abstract

The disclosure provides a method for logging into an account on a mobile device, a mobile device and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and relates the field of mobile devices. The method includes: in response to a login instruction for logging into a first application, searching for multiple accounts of multiple second applications associated with the first application on the mobile device, where the first application is different from the multiple second applications; in response to two or more accounts are found, displaying a first prompt, where the first prompt presents the two or more accounts of the second applications available for selection; and, in response to a user's selection of one account selected from the two or more accounts of the multiple second applications, logging into the first application according to the selected account. Since when two or more accounts are found, a first prompt presenting the two or more accounts available for selection could be displayed, thus improving the flexibility of account login and user viscosity.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for logging into an account on a mobile device, comprising:
in response to a login instruction for logging into a first application, searching for multiple accounts of multiple second applications associated with the first application on the mobile device, wherein the first application is different from the multiple second applications and the multiple second applications are the same;
in response to two or more accounts are found, displaying a first prompt, wherein the first prompt presents the two or more accounts of the second applications available for selection; and
in response to a user's selection of one account selected from the two or more accounts of the multiple second applications, logging into the first application according to the selected account.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein displaying the first prompt comprises:
obtaining first login information, wherein the first login information indicates logging into the first application according to an account of a second application running in a running space same as a running space of the first application;
in response to a loop identifier comprised by the first login information being a first identifier, processing the first login information to obtain one or more pieces of second login information, wherein the one or more pieces of second login information correspond to one or more second applications, respectively, and the one or more second applications run in one or more running spaces different from the running space of the first application; and
displaying the first prompt according to both the first login information and the one or more pieces of second login information.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein processing the first login information to obtain the one or more pieces of second login information comprises:
copying the first login information according to the number of the one or more second applications running in the one or more running spaces different from the running space of the first application to obtain one or more pieces of third login information;
obtaining one or more running space identifiers and one or more accounts for each one of the one or more second applications; and
replacing one or more running space identifiers and one or more accounts in each of the one or more pieces of third login information with the obtained one or more running space identifiers and one or more accounts of the one or more second applications to obtain the one or more pieces of second login information.

4. The method according to claim 2 , after processing the first login information to obtain the one or more pieces of second login information, further comprising:
changing the loop identifier included in the first login information to a second identifier; and
changing one or more loop identifiers included in the one or more pieces of second login information to one or more second identifiers.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein displaying the first prompt according to both the first login information and the one or more pieces of second login information comprises:
creating display information for interface based on both the first login information and the one or more pieces of second login information; and
displaying the first prompt based on the display information, wherein the first prompt comprises the two or more accounts.

6. The method according to claim 1 , before searching for the multiple accounts of the multiple second applications associated with the first application on the mobile device, further comprising:
determining whether the multiple second applications are able to run simultaneously on the mobile device.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein determining whether the multiple second applications are able to run simultaneously comprises:
checking through multiple processes running in multiple running spaces to find two or more second applications running simultaneously.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein determining whether multiple second applications are able to run simultaneously comprises:
determining whether a multi-login identifier associated with the second application is a preset value, wherein the multi-login identifier is set to the preset value when a second application is started while another second application is running.

9. A mobile device, comprising:
a memory configured to have computer instructions stored thereon; and
a processor configured to execute the computer instructions to cause the mobile device to perform operations of:
in response to a login instruction for logging into a first application, searching for multiple accounts of multiple second applications associated with the first application on the mobile device, wherein the first application is different from the multiple second applications and the multiple second applications are the same;
in response to two or more accounts are found, displaying a first prompt, wherein the first prompt presents the two or more accounts of the second applications available for selection; and
in response to a user's selection of one account selected from the two or more accounts of the multiple second applications, logging into the first application according to the selected account.

10. The mobile device according to claim 9 , wherein displaying the first prompt comprises:
obtaining first login information, wherein the first login information indicates logging into the first application according to an account of a second application running in a running space same as a running space of the first application;
in response to a loop identifier comprised by the first login information being a first identifier, processing the first login information to obtain one or more pieces of second login information, wherein the one or more pieces of second login information correspond to one or more second applications, respectively, and the one or more second applications run in one or more running spaces different from the running space of the first application; and
displaying the first prompt according to both the first login information and the one or more pieces of second login information.

11. The mobile device according to claim 10 , wherein processing the first login information to obtain the one or more pieces of second login information comprises:
copying the first login information according to the number of the one or more second applications running in the one or more running spaces different from the running space of the first application to obtain one or more pieces of third login information;
obtaining one or more running space identifiers and one or more accounts for each one of the one or more second applications; and
replacing one or more running space identifiers and one or more accounts in each of the one or more pieces of third login information with the obtained one or more running space identifiers and one or more accounts of the one or more second applications to obtain the one or more pieces of second login information.

12. The mobile device according to claim 10 , wherein after processing the first login information to obtain the one or more pieces of second login information, the processor is further configured to execute the computer instructions to cause the mobile device to perform operations of:
changing the loop identifier included in the first login information to a second identifier; and
changing one or more loop identifiers included in the one or more pieces of second login information to one or more second identifiers.

13. The mobile device according to claim 10 ,
