The embodiment of the invention aims at the process that the terminal hides the first icon in the second icon based on the moving operation of the user on the first icon, wherein the first icon can be any application icon on the terminal desktop, and the second icon can be any application icon on the terminal desktop except the first icon.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for hiding an application icon according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is performed by a terminal, and referring to fig. 2, the method includes:
201. and if the movement operation on the first icon is detected, moving the first icon according to the movement operation.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the user does not want the first icon to be seen or used by other people, the first icon on the desktop of the terminal can be moved, and the terminal hides the first icon in the second icon based on the movement operation of the user. The moving operation may be a dragging operation performed on the first icon on the basis of a long-press operation performed on the first icon. For example, a user may perform a long-press operation on the first icon, and when the long-press operation is detected, the terminal may set the first icon in a draggable state so that the first icon may be dragged, at which time, the user may perform a drag operation on the first icon.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a desktop of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 3, a plurality of icons may be provided on the desktop of the terminal, where each application icon corresponds to one application, and each folder icon corresponds to one folder. Taking the first icon as the application icon 3 in fig. 3 and the second icon as the application icon 1 in fig. 3 as an example, the user may move the application icon 3 on the desktop shown in fig. 3, and the terminal may move the application icon 3 according to the movement operation of the application icon 3.
Optionally, when the terminal moves the first icon, the terminal may draw and display a movement animation of the first icon along with the movement track of the moving operation, so that the movement of the first icon has an intuitive effect.
202. When the moving operation is finished, determining the overlapping area of the first icon and the second icon.
Considering that the user moves the first icon, the first icon may not be hidden but only the position of the first icon on the desktop may be changed, so to avoid an incorrect operation condition that the first icon is hidden upon moving, the terminal may be provided with a hidden trigger condition, and the first icon is hidden when the terminal detects the hidden trigger condition.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the hidden trigger condition may include that an overlapping area of the first icon and the second icon is greater than a preset threshold when the moving operation is finished, where the preset threshold may be set by a technician during development, or may be adjusted by a user during a use process, and if the preset threshold is 50% of a display area of the icon, of course, other values may also be used, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. Accordingly, when the user finishes the moving operation on the first icon, the terminal may determine an overlapping area of the first icon and the second icon, and perform corresponding processing on the first icon based on the overlapping area at this time, such as hiding the first icon under the second icon or not hiding the first icon.
In one possible implementation manner, the terminal may determine the overlapping area of the first icon and the second icon according to a specified algorithm, for example, the terminal may confirm the overlapping area of the first icon and the second icon by the position coordinates of the first icon and the second icon on the desktop when the moving operation is finished. Of course, the terminal may also determine the overlapping area in other manners, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of icon overlapping according to an embodiment of the present invention, and corresponding to an example that the first icon is the application icon 3 and the second icon is the application icon 1 in step 201, the user may move the application icon 3 to a position below the application icon 1, and at this time, the user releases his hand, that is, the moving operation of the application icon 3 is finished. If the terminal cannot detect the moving operation of the user, the terminal can determine that the moving operation is finished, and instantly determine the overlapping area of the application icon 3 and the application icon 1.
203. And hiding the first icon in the second icon if the overlapping area of the first icon and the second icon is larger than a preset threshold value and the first icon has no associated hidden icon.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to avoid the problem that the icons are inconvenient to use because a plurality of icons are hidden under one icon, the hidden trigger condition in step 202 may further include that there is no associated hidden icon in the first icon. Accordingly, when the overlapping area determined in step 202 is larger than the preset threshold and the first icon has no associated hidden icon, the terminal performs the step of hiding the first icon in the second icon.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic view of a desktop with hidden icons according to an embodiment of the present invention, after a terminal hides an application icon 3 (a first icon) in an application icon 1 (a second icon), the hidden application icon 3 (the first icon) will not be displayed on the desktop, so as to achieve the purpose of hiding an application icon that a user does not want to be seen or used by others.
In one possible implementation manner, the process of the terminal determining that the first icon has no associated hidden icon may include: if the terminal cannot find the hidden icon associated with the first icon in the hidden icon association table of the first icon, it may be determined that the first icon has no associated hidden icon, and the hidden icon association table is used to indicate an association relationship between icons.
For example, for each icon on the terminal, the terminal may maintain a hidden icon association table of the icon, where the hidden icon association table is used to record an association relationship between the icon and a hidden icon of the icon. For example, if the icon 2 is hidden in the icon 1, the hidden icon association table of the icon 1 records the association relationship between the icon 1 and the icon 2. The embodiment of the present invention is described by taking an example that each icon corresponds to one hidden icon association table, and in fact, the terminal may also maintain one total hidden icon association table, where the hidden icon association table is used to indicate an association relationship between each icon on the terminal and a hidden icon of the icon. When the terminal hides one icon in another icon, the association relationship between the two icons can be added in the hidden icon association table. Of course, the user may subsequently perform a corresponding operation on the terminal, and the terminal deletes the association relationship between the two icons from the hidden icon association table based on the user operation, so that the icon is no longer hidden in the other icon.
In a possible implementation manner, the process of the terminal hiding the first icon in the second icon may include: and setting the display state of the first icon to be hidden, and creating an association relation between the first icon and the second icon. For example, the terminal may add the association relationship in which the first icon is hidden in the second icon in the hidden icon association table of the second icon. In order to enable a user to visually see the state from the end of the moving operation to the hiding state of the first icon, before the display state of the first icon is set to be hidden, the terminal can display an animation from the end of the moving operation to the hiding state of the first icon, and the size of the first icon in the animation is in a trend of changing from large to small. For example, the terminal determines a moving track from the current position of a first icon to the current position of a second icon, draws the first icon on the moving track every preset length, and continuously reduces the display size of the first icon during drawing, so that a user can intuitively see the changing process from the continuous reduction of the first icon to the hiding in the second icon. Of course, the actual moving process may be simulated by means of acceleration instead of being plotted every preset length.
The above steps 201 to 203 are processes of hiding the first icon in the second icon by the terminal, and the terminal hides the first icon without the associated hidden icon in the second icon by determining an overlapping area of the first icon and the second icon when the moving operation is ended and when the overlapping area is greater than a preset threshold. The user can hide the application icon through mobile operation, and the operation is simple.
After the first icon is hidden, if the user wants to view or use the first icon, a designated operation may be performed on the second icon hidden with the first icon, and when the terminal detects the designated operation, the following steps 204 to 205 may be performed.
204. And if the specified operation on the second icon is detected, displaying the first icon associated with the second icon, wherein the specified operation has two touch points, and the relative distance between the two touch points continuously increases.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a designation operation according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 6, the designation operation may be that one touch point may remain still and the other touch point moves along the first direction, as shown in fig. 6 (a), the user presses the second icon with one finger and slides the second icon along the first direction. As shown in fig. 6 (b), the designating operation may also be that the two touch points move in opposite directions, for example, one finger of the user slides the second icon in the first direction, and the other finger slides the second icon in the second direction. The present invention is not limited to the specific form of the specified operation.
In the embodiment of the present invention, a user may perform a designated operation on the second icon, and when the terminal detects the moving operation, it may be determined whether the second icon has an associated hidden icon, and if the second icon has an associated hidden icon, the terminal may display the hidden icon. Similarly to the process that the terminal determines that there is no associated hidden icon in the first icon in step 203, if the terminal finds the hidden icon associated with the second icon in the hidden icon association table of the second icon, it may determine the associated hidden icon in the second icon.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the terminal finds the hidden icon associated with the second icon as the first icon, and at this time, the terminal may display the first icon hidden in the second icon. Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of removing a hidden icon according to an embodiment of the present invention, and for a desktop after the application icon 3 in fig. 5 is hidden in the application icon 1, a user may perform the above-mentioned specified operation on the application icon 1 on the desktop, and remove the application icon 3 from the application icon 1.
In a possible implementation manner, referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of icon enlargement according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal detects a user's designation operation on a second icon, the terminal may enlarge the second icon, that is, increase a display size of the second icon to highlight a first icon hidden in the second icon, so that the user can clearly see the first icon hidden in the second icon.
205. When the specified operation is finished, if the first icon is not overlapped with the second icon, the first icon is displayed, and the association relationship between the first icon and the second icon is released.
Similarly to the determination of the overlapping area in step 202, it is considered that the user may not perform the designation operation on the second icon in order to restore the display of the first icon on the desktop, and therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of the misoperation, the terminal may be provided with a concealment release condition, and when the terminal detects the concealment release condition, the association relationship between the first icon and the second icon may be released. In response to the formation of the association relationship in step 203, the terminal may remove the association relationship between the first icon and the second icon by deleting the association relationship between the first icon and the second icon from the hidden icon association table.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the condition for canceling the association relationship may include that the first icon and the second icon are not overlapped when the designation operation is finished, and accordingly, when the designation operation of the second icon by the user is finished, the terminal may determine whether there is any overlap between the first icon and the second icon, and perform different processing on the first icon based on different determination results. Specifically, if it is determined that there is no overlap, the first icon is no longer hidden, at this time, the terminal may display the first icon, and remove the association relationship between the first icon and the second icon, at this time, the terminal may restore the desktop shown in fig. 3, that is, restore the display of the first icon on the desktop.
The foregoing steps 204 to 205 are performed when the terminal resumes the display process of the first icon on the desktop, and the terminal may resume the display of the first icon by determining that the first icon is not overlapped with the second icon when the designated operation is finished, so that the user may conveniently view or use the first icon, and the operation is simple.
206. And when the specified operation is finished, if the first icon is overlapped with the second icon, starting the application corresponding to the first icon.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the designating operation is finished, if the terminal determines that the first icon and the second icon are still overlapped, the application corresponding to the first icon is started, and at this time, the association relationship between the first icon and the second icon is not released, that is, the first icon is still hidden in the second icon. The terminal can determine whether the first icon and the second icon overlap by determining the overlapping area of the first icon and the second icon. The determination of the overlap area is the same as step 202, and will not be described herein. In one possible implementation, if the overlapping area of the first icon and the second icon is greater than 0, the terminal may determine that the first icon and the second icon have overlap. After the first icon is hidden, the user can start the hidden first icon through a specified operation, and the operation is simple.
According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the hiding is triggered through the overlapping of the icons, so that the application icons can be hidden only through simple moving operation without other additional operations, the steps of hiding operation are simplified, and the operation efficiency is improved.
The embodiment shown in fig. 2 is a process in which the terminal hides the first icon in the second icon (application icon) and resumes the display of the first icon. In practical use, the terminal may hide the first icon in the folder icon, and a process of hiding the first icon in the third icon (folder icon) by the terminal in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 9 will be described below.
901. And if the movement operation on the first icon is detected, moving the first icon according to the movement operation.
Step 901 is similar to step 201 and will not be described herein again.
902. And when the moving operation is finished, if the first icon is overlapped with the third icon, displaying a selection interface, wherein the selection interface is used for providing the processing type of the first icon in the third icon for selection, and the third icon is a folder icon.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the third icon may be any folder icon on the desktop of the terminal, such as folder icon 1 in fig. 3. Similarly to step 202, the terminal may be provided with a hidden trigger condition, and when the terminal detects the hidden trigger condition, the first icon is hidden.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the hidden trigger condition may include detecting a trigger operation of a user on a specified option in the selection interface. When the user finishes the moving operation of the first icon, the terminal may determine whether the first icon overlaps with the third icon, if so, the terminal may display a selection interface, and perform corresponding processing on the first icon based on the user operation on the selection interface, such as hiding the first icon in the third icon or moving the first icon to a folder corresponding to the third icon. The process of the terminal determining whether the first icon and the third icon overlap is the same as step 206, and is not described herein again.
Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a selection interface according to an embodiment of the present invention, where a user may move an application icon 3 (a first icon) to a position below a folder icon 1 (a third icon), and at this time, the user releases his hand, that is, the moving operation on the application icon 3 is finished. At this time, the terminal may display the selection interface, and the selection interface may prompt the user to hide the application icon 3 or move the application icon 3 into the folder corresponding to the folder icon 1, and provide two options, namely a "hide" option and a "move" option.
