Method and apparatus for providing adaptive wallpaper display for a device having multiple operating system environments

摘要

A disclosed method detects user input to set wallpaper of a first operating system environment using an image data file, and sends the image data file from the first operating system environment to a second operating system environment along with a request to update wallpaper of the second operating system environment. The two operating system environments are independent and utilize a common kernel. The method sets the wallpaper of the second operating system environment using the image data file. The method may also establish a bi-directional client-server communication channel between the operating system environments, and send the request to update wallpaper of the second operating system environment via the bi-directional client-server communication channel. An apparatus that performs the method includes a programmable processor, and memory containing executable instructions. The processor runs multiple operating system environments utilizing a common kernel.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a wallpaper synchronization daemon of a first operating system environment, user input to set wallpaper of the first operating system environment using an image data file; in response to detecting the user input to set the wallpaper of the first operating system environment, automatically sending the image data file by the wallpaper synchronization daemon of the first operating system environment to a wallpaper synchronization handler of a second operating system environment along with a request to update wallpaper of at least one of a plurality of home screens of the second operating system environment, the second operating system environment and the first operating system environment being independent from each other, both operating system environments utilizing a common kernel; and setting, by the wallpaper synchronization handler of the second operating system environment, the wallpaper of the at least one of the plurality of home screens of the second operating system environment using the image data file, wherein at least one other home screen of the plurality of home screens of the second operating system environment comprises a different wallpaper than the wallpaper of the at least one of the plurality of home screens that was set using the image data file sent by the first operating system environment.
