Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Example one

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of an application management method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, an application management method is applied to a terminal, and the method includes the following steps:

step 101: a first input is received from a user.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be understood as any operation for triggering the terminal to display the target control. The first input can be voice input, also can be somatosensory input, and also can be touch input of a terminal touch panel. The touch input may include: click operation, double-click operation, multi-click operation, long-press operation, slide operation, and the like.

In specific implementation, an application management key may be disposed on the terminal touch panel. Furthermore, a virtual application program management key is arranged on the terminal display screen. Step 101 may include:

a first input by a user acting on an application management key is received.

Step 102: and responding to the first input, displaying a target control, and displaying N application program icons on the target control.

In this step, the terminal displays a target control to respond to the first input when receiving the first input of the user, and the target control can display N application icons, where N is a positive integer.

In the embodiment of the invention, the application program icon is displayed through the target control, so that the method and the device have the characteristics of clearness, simplicity and clearness, and can be convenient for a user to quickly search the target application program. The user can call the target control by only first input, and the operation is simple and convenient.

In the embodiment of the invention, the target control can be a linear control. The linear parameters of the linear control are not limited, and may be a curved line, an arc line or a linear line, an end-to-end line or an end-to-end unconnected line, a solid line or a dotted line, a black line or a color line, and the like. The width of the line type control can range from 0.05mm to 5cm, for example. Furthermore, the target control may also be a bar type control or a block type control, or the like.

The target control may be a preset control, such as an arc-shaped track, a straight-line track, a square track, or the like, or may be a control generated based on an operation track of the first input. For example, in the case that the first input is a sliding operation of the user on the display screen of the terminal, the target control may be a sliding track corresponding to the first input.

In a specific implementation, the display interface corresponding to step 102 can be shown in fig. 2, but is not limited thereto. In fig. 2, the display 11 of the terminal 10 displays a target control 13, the target control 13 is a curved line-type control, the application icons 14 displayed on the target control 13 include five icons, namely, an icon 1, an icon 2, an icon 3, an icon 4, and an icon 5, and each application icon 14 is arranged at intervals.

For linear controls, such as the target control 13 shown in FIG. 2, may be named, but not limited to, Touch-line, Touch line, or Touch line, and may be interpreted, but not limited to, as a Touch line, a manipulation line, or a manipulation control.

In the embodiment of the invention, the target control can be a control with fixed shape and size, and can also be a control with variable shape and size.

Optionally, after the displaying the target control in response to the first input, the method further includes:

receiving a fourth input from the user;

responding to the fourth input, stretching the target control, and displaying M application program icons on the stretched target control; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

in response to the fourth input, shrinking the target control, and displaying P application icons on the shrunk target control;

wherein P is a positive integer and is less than N.

In particular implementations, the fourth input may include (but is not limited to) at least one of:

a user acts on the downward dragging operation of the target control;

a user acts on the left dragging operation of the target control;

the user acts on the upward dragging operation of the target control;

and the user acts on the right dragging operation of the target control.

In this way, when a large number of application icons need to be displayed on the target control, the user can act on any position of the target control (for example, a middle area of the target control) to drag the target control downwards, so that the target control is stretched, and thus more application icons are displayed. When the target control is longer or larger, but the number of application icons displayed on the target control is less, the user may act on any position of the target control (for example, a middle area of the target control) to drag upwards, so that the target control is contracted to release the redundant display space.

In particular implementations, the application icon displayed on the target control can include at least one of (but not limited to):

icons of all applications in the terminal;

an icon of an application program started in the terminal;

icons of application programs running in a background in the terminal;

and icons of the application programs with the use frequency higher than or equal to the preset value in the terminal.

Optionally, the application icon displayed on the target control is an icon for performing reduction processing or enlargement processing on the original icon.

If more application icons need to be displayed on the target control, the terminal can reduce and display the original icons so as to display more application icons on the target control; if the number of the application icons needing to be displayed on the target control is small, the terminal can display the original icons or amplify and display the original icons.

Further, the outline of the application icon displayed on the target control may be any shape, such as a square icon, a circle icon, a triangle icon, or a star icon. The case where the application icon is a circular icon is shown in fig. 2.

Step 103: receiving a second input of the user, wherein the second input is used for moving a target application icon in the N application icons to a first target position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the second input is any operation for moving the application icon to the first target position. The second input can be voice input, also can be somatosensory input, and also can be touch input of a terminal touch panel.

In particular implementations, the second input may include (but is not limited to) at least one of:

the user acts on the dragging operation of the target application program icon;

clicking operation of a target application program icon is acted by a user;

and the user performs dragging operation after pressing the application program icon for preset time.

Step 104: and responding to the second input, and executing the control operation associated with the first target position on the target application program corresponding to the target application program icon.

In this step, the terminal may obtain a target position where the target application icon moves according to each specific second input, and perform a control operation associated with the target position on the target application corresponding to the target application icon.

In the embodiment of the invention, the user can control the operation of the terminal on the target application program only through the first input and the second input, and the operation is simple and convenient.

In particular implementations, the first target location may include (but is not limited to) at least one of:

a left area of a terminal display screen;

the right area of the terminal display screen;

the upper area of the terminal display screen;

and the lower area of the terminal display screen.

In a specific implementation, the control operation associated with the target location performed on the target application corresponding to the target application icon may include at least one of the following (but is not limited to):

starting a target application program corresponding to the target application program icon;

closing the target application program corresponding to the target application program icon;

cleaning the target application program corresponding to the target application program icon;

unloading the target application program corresponding to the target application program icon;

copying a target application program corresponding to the target application program icon;

and encrypting the target application program corresponding to the target application program icon.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, if the first target position is the left area 111 of the display screen 11, that is, the second input is an input dragging the icon 3 to the left area 111 of the display screen 11, the terminal 10 performs a start operation on the application program corresponding to the icon 3, so as to start the application program.

If the first target position is the right area 112 of the display screen 11, that is, the second input is an input of dragging the icon 3 to the right area 112 of the display screen 11, the terminal 10 performs a background operation closing operation on the application program corresponding to the icon 3, so as to close the background operation of the application program.

In a specific implementation, when the second input drags the icon 3, the icon 3 can be separated from the target control 13.

In one embodiment, the target control can be displayed in a first display area of a display screen of the terminal;

after step 101, the method may further comprise:

displaying a first touch line and a second touch line which are separated from each other in a second display area of the terminal display screen;

wherein the first and second touch lines divide the second display area into a first sub area, a second sub area, and a third sub area.

Thus, for the first target position in step 103 and step 104, it may include: any position in the first sub-area, any position in the second sub-area, any position in the third sub-area, any position on the first touch line, or any position on the second touch line.

In the embodiment, the first touch line and the second touch line are displayed, so that the display screen can be partitioned, and the corresponding input of a user can be guided, and the accuracy of the user operation can be ensured; in addition, more target positions can be generated on the display screen of the terminal by displaying the first touch line and the second touch line, so that the control mode of the application program can be more diversified.

In a specific implementation, the display interface corresponding to this embodiment can be shown in fig. 4, but is not limited thereto. In fig. 4, a first display area 113 of the display screen 11 displays the target control 13, a second display area 114 of the display screen 11 displays a first touch line 15 and a second touch line 16 which are separated from each other, and the first touch line 15 and the second touch line 16 divide the second display area 114 into a first sub-area 1141, a second sub-area 1142 and a third sub-area 1143.

The terminal display screen of the embodiment of the invention can be a special-shaped screen. For example, the structure of a terminal shaped screen can be seen in fig. 4, but not limited thereto. In fig. 4, the terminal 10, that is, the shaped screen of the mobile phone, may be referred to as a display screen 11 with a bang area 12, the bang area 12 is specifically a non-display area in which the top end of the display screen 11 is recessed for setting a camera and the like, and areas on both sides of the bang area 12 may be generally referred to as ear areas.

In a specific implementation, the first display area 113 may be a top region of the shaped screen, and the second display area 114 may be a region of the shaped screen other than the first display area 113.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first Touch line 15 and the second Touch line 16 may also be referred to as Touch-line, Touch line, or Touch line.

In a specific implementation, the first touch line 15 and the second touch line 16 may be displayed simultaneously with the target control 13, or may be displayed after the target control 13 is displayed and when the second input is received. For example, when the icon 3 slides down from the target control 13, the first touch line 15 is displayed to the left of the second display area 114 and the second touch line 16 is displayed to the right of the second display area 114.

In a specific implementation, as shown in fig. 4, the first touch line 15 is located on the left, that is, the first sub-area 1141 may be an application program start area, and the first sub-area 1141 may display a prompt text of "start"; the right side of the second touch line 16 is the third sub-area 1143, which can be an application program cleaning area, and the third sub-area 1143 can display a "cleaning" prompt text.

As one embodiment, when the target control is stretched downward, the first and second touch lines move downward; when the target control contracts upwards, the first touch line and the second touch line move upwards. Optionally, when the target control is stretched downward to a preset size that the target control occupies the display screen, the target control cannot be stretched continuously, so as to reserve sufficient space for the first touch line and the second touch line.

In this embodiment, the target control, the first touch line and the second touch line can be dynamically controlled, which enables a user to be more flexible and convenient in operation.

In one embodiment, the first touch line and the second touch line have different control parameters. The control parameters may include (but are not limited to) at least one of: color, line type, thickness, length. Therefore, the user can distinguish and identify different touch lines more easily, or can distinguish and identify different operation modes more easily, so that the accuracy of user operation is further ensured, and misoperation of the user can be effectively prevented.

For example, the first touch line is green, and the second touch line is red; the first touch line is a broken line, and the second touch line is a solid line; the first touch line is thinner than the second touch line, the first touch line is longer than the second touch line, and so on.

In order to better understand the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the following describes, with reference to fig. 5 to fig. 8, the management of the application program by different operation modes, for example.

As shown in fig. 5, the user moves the icon 3 to a position to the left of the first touch line 15 (i.e., any position in the first sub-area 1141) through the second input, and the terminal starts the application program corresponding to the icon 3. The user can move other icons one by one to the left of the first touch line 15 through the second input, so as to start the application programs corresponding to the other icons one by one.

As shown in fig. 6, the user moves the icon 3 to the right of the second touch line 16 (i.e., any position in the third sub-area 1143) through the second input, and the terminal cleans up the application program corresponding to the icon 3. The user can move other icons one by one to the position right of the second touch line 16 through the second input, so as to clean the application programs corresponding to the other icons one by one.

As shown in fig. 7, the user moves the icon 3 to the position of the first touch line 15 (i.e. any position on the first touch line 15) through the second input, so that the icon 3 overlaps with the first touch line 15, and the terminal copies the application program corresponding to the icon 3. After the application is copied, the copied new application icon may appear on the desktop of the terminal, and the copied new application icon may be displayed on the target control 13.

Further, the terminal may determine whether the application program corresponding to the icon 3 may be copied, and if the application program may be copied, when the icon 3 is moved to the position of the first touch line 15, the width of the first touch line 15 is widened and/or the color of the first touch line 15 is darkened. If the application program cannot be copied, when the icon 3 is moved to the position of the first touch line 15, the width and the color of the first touch line 15 are not changed, and the icon does not stay on the first touch line 15, but directly moves from the right side of the first touch line 15 to the left side of the first touch line 15.

As shown in fig. 8, the user moves the icon 3 to the position of the second touch line 16 (i.e. any position on the second touch line 16) through the second input, so that the icon 3 overlaps with the second touch line 16, and the terminal encrypts the application program corresponding to the icon 3. The application program can appear in an encrypted space in the terminal after being encrypted, and an icon of the application program on the target control 13 can be displayed unchanged.

Further, the terminal may determine whether the application program corresponding to the icon 3 may be encrypted, and if the application program may be encrypted, when the icon 3 is moved to the position where the second touch line 16 is located, the width of the second touch line 16 is widened and/or the color of the second touch line 16 is darkened. If the application program cannot be encrypted, when the icon 3 is moved to the position of the second touch line 16, the width and the color of the second touch line 16 are not changed, and the icon does not stay on the second touch line 16, but directly moves from the left side of the second touch line 16 to the right side of the second touch line 16.

The above is merely an example, and other operation manners may be included besides the above operation manners, for example, an operation of closing the target application, an operation of uninstalling the target application, and the like. This is not to be unduly exemplified as it is not exhaustive of all embodiments. By the above example, the embodiment of the invention can realize diversified management of the application programs on the same display interface.

As an embodiment, after step 103, the method further comprises:

receiving a third input of a user, wherein the third input is used for moving the first touch control line or the second touch control line to a second target position;

and responding to the third input, and executing the control operation associated with the second target position on the application program corresponding to the application program icon except the target application program icon in the N application program icons.

In this embodiment, it is considered that the user may need to perform a first management on the applications corresponding to a part of the N application icons displayed on the target control, and perform a second management on the applications corresponding to another part of the N application icons.

For example, the user wants to perform a cleaning operation on the application program corresponding to icon 1, icon 2, icon 4, and icon 5 in fig. 4, and perform a startup operation on the application program corresponding to icon 3. Then, the user may first move the icon 3 to a position to the left of the first touch line 15 (i.e., any position in the first sub-area 1141) through the second input, so as to implement the starting of the application program corresponding to the icon 3; then, the second touch line 16 is moved to a position (i.e., any position in the first sub-area 1141) to the left of the first touch line 15 by the third input, so as to clean the application programs corresponding to the icon 1, the icon 2, the icon 4, and the icon 5.

Wherein the second target position may include: any position in the first sub-area, any position in the second sub-area, any position in the third sub-area, any position on the first touch line, or any position on the second touch line.

In this embodiment, when the application icons have a control mode common to part of the application icons, the mode of controlling the part in batch is adopted, so that the efficiency of the user in managing the application can be improved, and the flexibility of the application management method in the embodiment of the invention is further improved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may be any device having a communication function, for example: computers (Computer), Mobile phones, Tablet Personal computers (Tablet Personal Computer), laptop computers (laptop Computer), Personal digital assistants (PDA for short), Mobile Internet Devices (MID), Wearable devices (Wearable Device), and the like.
