Abstract

A method for quickly starting an application service, and a terminal. The method includes acquiring, by a terminal, event trigger information; starting, by the terminal, the application service software after determining that the event trigger information meets a preset quick startup condition; and acquiring, by the terminal, a voice instruction input by a user, and running the application service software according to the voice instruction. According to the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, application service software is started by using event trigger information, so that a background of a terminal starts to perform recording only after the application service software is started, and background recording is stopped after the terminal provides an application service for a user, preventing a recording device in the background of the terminal from being always in a recording state, and further reducing power consumption of the terminal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, implemented by a terminal with a display screen, the method comprising:
receiving a first operation from a user via a physical volume button of the terminal being held down;
starting a voice service application in response to determining that the physical volume button of the terminal is held down for a time greater than a preset threshold time, wherein the voice service application comprises a background recording function;
prompting the user to input a voice instruction after the voice service application is started by vibrating the terminal or playing an alert tone;
receiving the voice instruction;
processing the voice instruction using the voice service application to obtain a command;
acquiring a number of a remote device associated with the command, wherein the remote device is a device last called by the terminal;
dialing the number of the remote device;
performing the background recording function only after starting the voice service application; and
stopping the background recording function after providing a call with the remote device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the command is a redial command.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a call interface when dialing the number of the remote device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical volume button comprises a volume down button.

5. A terminal comprising:
a computer processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the terminal to be configured to:
receive a first operation from a user via a physical volume button of the terminal being held down;
start a voice service application in response to determining that the physical volume button of the terminal is held down for a time greater than a preset threshold time, wherein the voice service application comprises a background recording function;
prompt the user to input a voice instruction after the voice service application is started by vibrating the terminal or playing an alert tone;
receive the voice instruction;
process the voice instruction using the voice service application to obtain a command;
acquire a number of a remote device associated with the command, wherein the remote device is a device last called by the terminal;
dial the number of the remote device;
perform the background recording function only after starting the voice service application; and
stop the background recording function after providing a call with the remote device.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the command is a redial command.

7. The terminal of claim 5 , further comprising displaying a call interface when dialing the number of the remote device.

8. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the physical volume button comprises a volume down button.

9. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions for storage on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a computer processor, cause a terminal to:
receive a first operation from a user via a physical volume button of the terminal being held down;
start a voice service application in response to determining that the physical volume button of the terminal is held down for a time greater than a preset threshold time, wherein the voice service application comprises a background recording function;
prompt the user to input a voice instruction after the voice service application is started by vibrating the terminal or playing an alert tone;
receive the voice instruction;
process the voice instruction using the voice service application to obtain a command;
acquire a number of a remote device associated with the command, wherein the remote device is a device last called by the terminal;
dial the number of the remote device;
perform the background recording function only after starting the voice service application; and
stop the background recording function after providing a call with the remote device.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the command is a redial command.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the terminal to display a call interface when dialing the number of the remote device.

12. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the physical volume button comprises a volume down button.
