  • Patent number: 10467393
    Abstract: An application triggering method and device are provided in the field of terminals. The terminal device sets at least two different triggering passwords for at least two instances of an application corresponding to an application icon on a user interface on the display. The terminal device acquires an input password after a triggering operation over the application icon is detected on the user interface. The terminal device triggers a target instance of the application according to the input password, where the target instance refers to an instance for which one of the at least two different triggering passwords is the same as the input password.

  • Publication number: 20170139944
    Abstract: Method, device and computer-readable medium for monitoring a file in a system partition are provided in the disclosure. The method is applied in a mobile terminal, including: initiating a monitoring service for a file in a system partition, generating a listening thread related to the monitoring service to listen for an input event with respect to a target system partition, the input event being a manipulation of a file in the target system partition, and recording the input event into a log file when the input event with respect to the target system partition has been listened in the listening thread. In the disclosure, by creating a listening thread to listen a file in a target system partition, and then recording any input event occurred for the file in the target system partition, it is capable of knowing what kind of manipulation has been done to the file in the target system partition by other software.
