Abstract: In an object switching method based on visual programming that is applicable to a terminal device, an object switching instruction is obtained through an object management region of a target interface. The object switching instruction carries an object identifier of a first object. According to the object switching instruction, a second operable interface corresponding to a second object is switched to a first operable interface corresponding to the first object in a visual layout region of the target interface, and a programmable interface corresponding to the second object is switched to a programmable interface corresponding to the first object in a visual programming region of the target interface. The first object and the second object are comprised in the object management region, and the first object and the second object have different object identifiers.

Abstract: In a method for performing visual programming, applicable to a terminal, a target role in a visual layout region of a target interface is determined. An event building block set is displayed in an event building block triggering region of the target interface. In response to detecting a selection operation on a first event building block in the event building block set, the first event building block corresponding to the target role is added to a visual programming region of the target interface. In response to detecting a selection operation on a first function building block in at least one function building block corresponding to the first event building block displayed in a function building block triggering region of the target interface, the first function building block corresponding to the target role is added to the visual programming region.

Abstract: A method for managing cache data of a mobile terminal includes determining whether first cache data corresponds to an application exists. If it is determined that the first cache data does not exist, a data request is sent to request server data corresponding to the first cache data, the server data is downloaded, forming the first cache data by using the downloaded server data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a location service are disclosed. The method is performed at a mobile device having one or more processors and memory for storing programs to be executed by the one or more processors. The method includes storing respective geographic positions for a set of points of interest (POIs). The method includes determining a current location and a current viewing direction of a user while storing the respective geographic positions of the set of POIs. The method also includes identifying, based on the stored geographic positions and the current location and viewing direction of the user, a subset of POIs within a current field of view associated with the user from the set of POIs. The method further includes mapping the current location of the user and the respective geographic positions of the subset of POIs onto a user interface displayed on the mobile device.

Abstract: Methods and terminals for processing e-tickets are provided. The terminal can include a saving module, a parsing module, and a voice reading module. The e-ticket can be obtained by a terminal. The terminal can parse contents of the e-ticket to generate ticket information of the e-ticket by triggering a reading button to call an internal program. The ticket information can be converted by the terminal into a voice message corresponding to the e-ticket. The voice message can be played by the terminal to read the ticket information of the e-ticket.
