Patent number: 10127037Abstract: A method for recognizing an application type, includes, but is not limited to, judging whether an application in a system has an application type mark. If so, acquiring a value of the application type mark of the application, and comparing the value of the application type mark with a preset value of each application type to recognize a type of the application. The application type mark refers to metadata that can indicate the type of the application that was added into a list configuration file of the application when the application was being developed. If not, acquiring an application package name of the application, and recognizing the type of the application according to the application package name. By applying the mark, the system can automatically judge whether the current application is a Virtual Reality (VR) application or an ordinary 2D application, thereby performing appropriate output processing, and brining better user experience.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Beijing Pico Technology Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ligang Li
