Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for loading a user interface (UI) theme in an intelligent terminal. The method includes: detecting an operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal; determining whether an application module exists in a downloaded theme package according to the operation instruction, wherein the application module corresponds to the operation instruction. The method further includes: loading the application module to the intelligent terminal if it is determined that the application module exists.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for loading a user interface (UI) theme in an intelligent terminal, comprising:
detecting an operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal; determining, according to the operation instruction, whether an application module exists in a downloaded theme package, wherein the application module corresponds to the operation instruction; and loading the application module to the intelligent terminal if it is determined that the application module exists.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
sending a first download instruction with a first priority to a theme application program (theme app) if it is determined that the application module does not exist, wherein the theme app is installed on the intelligent terminal; and downloading, according to the first download instruction, the application module through the theme app with the first priority.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the theme package is downloaded by:
detecting whether a second download instruction regarding the theme package exists in the theme app; and downloading the theme package if the second download instruction regarding the theme package exists.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein downloading the theme package comprises:
determining download priorities, wherein the download priorities correspond to application modules in the theme package; and downloading, according to the download priorities, the application modules in the theme package.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
displaying an indication that the theme package is successfully loaded after any application module in the theme package is downloaded.

6 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the intelligent terminal comprises a first thread configured to load the application module to the intelligent terminal and a second thread configured to download the application module through the theme app.

7 . A device for loading a user interface (UI) theme, comprising:
a processor; and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to: detect an operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal; determine, according to the operation instruction, whether an application module exists in a downloaded theme package, wherein the application module corresponds to the operation instruction; and load the application module to the intelligent terminal if it is determined that the application module exists.

8 . The device according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to:
send a first download instruction with a first priority to a theme application program (theme app) if it is determined that the application module does not exist, wherein the theme app is installed on the intelligent terminal; and download, according to the first download instruction, the application module through the theme app with the first priority.

9 . The device according to claim 7 , wherein the theme package is downloaded by:
detect whether a second download instruction regarding the theme package exists in the theme app; and download the theme package if the second download instruction regarding the theme package exists.

10 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to download the theme package by acts of:
determining download priorities, wherein the download priorities correspond to application modules in the theme package; and downloading, according to the download priorities, the application modules in the theme package.

11 . The device according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display an indication that the theme package is successfully loaded after any application module in the theme package is downloaded.

12 . The device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor comprises a first thread configured to load the application module to the intelligent terminal and a second thread configured to download the application module through the theme app.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, when executed by one or more processors of an intelligent terminal, which cause the intelligent terminal to perform a method for loading a user interface (UI) theme, the method comprising:
detecting an operation instruction of a user to the intelligent terminal; determining, according to the operation instruction, whether an application module exists in a downloaded theme package, wherein the application module corresponds to the operation instruction; and loading the application module to the intelligent terminal if it is determined that the application module exists.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises:
sending a first download instruction with a first priority to a theme application program (theme app) if it is determined that the application module does not exist, wherein the theme app is installed on the intelligent terminal; and downloading, according to the first download instruction, the application module through the theme app with the first priority.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the theme package is downloaded by:
detecting whether a second download instruction regarding the theme package exists in the theme app; and downloading the theme package if the second download instruction regarding the theme package exists.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein downloading the theme package comprises:
determining download priorities, wherein the download priorities corresponds to application modules in the theme package; downloading, according to the download priorities, the application modules in the theme package.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the method further comprises:
displaying an indication that the theme package is successfully loaded after any application module in the theme package is downloaded.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 14 , wherein the intelligent terminal comprises a first thread configured to load the application module to the intelligent terminal and a second thread configured to download the application module through the theme app.
