SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING OPERATION SYSTEM HISTORY

摘要

A mechanism for providing an operating system history is disclosed. A method includes placing, by an operating system (OS) of a processing device, a pointer to context of a first application in a history context of plurality of applications in a direct interface array (DIR) of the OS upon indication of switching from an interface of a first application to the interface of a second application. The method also includes moving the pointer from the context of the first application to the context of the second application in the DIR in view of an indication of a closing of the interface of the second application. The second application is closed in a foreground of the OS and is executing in a background of the OS. The method further includes providing the interface of the second application in the foreground of the OS upon activation of a global back function.

1. A method comprising:
placing, by an operating system (OS) executed by a processing device, a pointer to a context of a first application in a history context of a plurality of the applications in a direct interface array (DIR) of the OS in view of an indication of a switch from an interface of the first application to an interface of a second application of the plurality of applications; storing, by the OS, a context of the second application in the DIR in view of an indication of a closing of the interface of the second application, wherein the second application is closed in a foreground of the OS and is executing in a background of the OS; moving, by the OS, the pointer from the context of the first application to the context of the second application in the history context of the DIR; and providing, by the OS, the interface of the second application in the foreground of the OS upon a first activation of a global back function.
