The embodiment of the invention provides a method for controlling playing of a startup screen and a
user device, aiming at solving the problems that by using
current mode for playing a startup screen, startup speed of an intelligent device is influenced, and time waited by users when the intelligent device starts up is increased. The method for controlling playing of the startup screen comprises the steps that: the
user device plays the startup screen when starting up; the
user device real-timely detects whether a startup preparation process of a startup
signal source is accomplished; when detecting that the startup preparation process of the startup
signal source is accomplished, the user device stops playing the startup screen. According to the method for controlling playing of the startup screen, the step of real-timely detecting whether the startup preparation process of the startup
signal source is accomplished is added, when detecting that the startup preparation process is accomplished, the user device stops playing the startup screen, and the longest startup time required by the startup
signal source in all startup signal sources does not need to be used as the playing length of the startup screen, and thereby startup sped of the intelligent device is improved, and time waited by the users when the intelligent device starts up is increased.
