Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are some, but not all embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged, as appropriate, such that embodiments of the present application may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and that the objects identified by "first," "second," etc. are generally of a type, and are not limited to the number of objects, such as the first object may be one or more. Furthermore, in the description and claims, "and/or" means at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/", generally means that the associated object is an "or" relationship.

The icon display method provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The icon display method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the scene of viewing the target message.

For the scene of viewing the target message, after the application 1 in the electronic device receives the message A, the user can be prompted that the unread message exists in the application 1 in a mode of displaying the digital identifier on the application icon of the application 1, and after the user sees the digital identifier, the user can click on the application icon to enter the display interface of the application 1 to view the message A. As can be seen from the above procedure, if the user wants to view the specific content of the message a, the user needs to click on the application icon of the application 1 and view the display interface of the application 1, so that the user can view the specific content of the message a. Therefore, the step of viewing the message a by the user is cumbersome and takes a long time.

In the icon display method provided by the application, the electronic equipment can automatically acquire the message content of the message A under the condition of receiving the message A in the application 1. Then, the electronic device updates the pattern of the application icon of the application 1 to a target object corresponding to the message content, where the target object may be a picture, a text, or a video. Therefore, when the electronic equipment receives the message A, the application icon of the application 1 can be directly checked without entering the application 1, so that the message content of the message A can be known, the operation steps of checking the message A by a user are saved, the time consumption is saved, and the efficiency of using the electronic equipment by the user is improved.

The present embodiment provides an icon display method, as shown in fig. 1, which includes the following steps 201 and 202:

step 201: and the icon display device acquires the message content of the target message when receiving the target message of the target application.

In an embodiment of the present application, the application may be an application program.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target application may be any application in the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target message may be any message received by the target application.

The target message may be a message pushed by the electronic device in the background, a message received by the target application through a network, or a message received by the target application and sent by other electronic devices.

In the embodiment of the application, before receiving the target message of the target application, the electronic device may set message parameters of the received message (for example, a type parameter of the message and a receiving frequency parameter of the message). When receiving the message of the target application, if the message is confirmed to accord with the message parameters, the received message can be confirmed to be the target message.

For example, when the number of times of reception parameter of the message is once per day, if the message received by the target application is the first message received on the same day, the message is the target message, and if the message received by the target application is the second message received on the same day, the message is not the target message.

In the embodiment of the present application, the message content of the target message may be the content of the target message to be notified to the user. For example, when the target message is a video push message, the message content of the target message may include: the name of the video and the video.

Step 202: the icon display device updates the pattern of the application icon of the target application to the target object corresponding to the message content.

In an embodiment of the present application, the target object includes at least one of the following: pictures, text, video.

In one example, when the target object is a text, the text may be displayed in a cyclic scrolling manner with the size of the area where the application icon is located.

In the embodiment of the application, the icon display device can update the pattern of the application icon by changing the icon parameter of the application icon. The icon parameters may include an icon size, a display type (e.g., a picture type, a video type) of the icon, a display duration, and the like.

The icon display device may send the message content to a desktop system of the electronic device after obtaining the message content, where the desktop system may update, according to the message content, the pattern of the application icon to a target object corresponding to the message content.

When the icon display device updates the pattern of the application icon to the target object corresponding to the message content, the application icon still has the corresponding functions of being originally used as an application entry and prompting the user of the application state change. For example, after the pattern of the application icon is updated to the target object, the user clicks on the application icon at that time, and may still enter an application interface in the application, or when the application receives a new message, a digital identifier may still be displayed to inform the user that the application contains an unread message.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the message content includes multiple types of content, the target object may be one of the multiple types of content. For example, when the message content is a video push message, the message content includes a video name and a video. The display type of the video name can be text, and the display type of the video can be video, so that the corresponding target object corresponding to the video pushing message can be text or video.

In the embodiment of the application, the text display device can set the preset display time of the target object, and when the preset display time is reached, the text display device updates the target object to the pattern of the application icon.

Example 1: assume that the target application is a video application. As shown in fig. 2 (a), in the case where the electronic device receives a push video message (i.e., the above-described target message) of the video application from the network, the electronic device acquires the video name and video (i.e., the above-described message content) of the push video message. As shown in fig. 2 (b), when the electronic device updates the pattern 21 of the application icon of the video application to the video 22 (i.e., the target object) in the push video message, the user can directly view the application icon, i.e., can view the video when viewing the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the application, the icon display device acquires the message content of the target message under the condition of receiving the target message in the target application, and then the electronic equipment updates the pattern of the application icon of the target application into the target object corresponding to the message content, wherein the target object can be a picture, a text or a video. Therefore, when the icon display device receives the target message, the message content of the target message can be directly displayed on the application icon in the form of displaying the target object, so that when the user receives the target message, the user can know the message content of the target message without entering an application interface and directly viewing the application icon, the operation steps of the user for viewing the target message are saved, the time consumption is saved, and the efficiency of using the electronic equipment by the user is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, step 201 in the icon display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps A1 and A2:

step A1: the icon display device receives a first input of an application icon from a user when receiving a target message of a target application.

Step A2: in response to the first input, the icon display apparatus acquires the message content of the target message.

For example, the icon display device may send a prompt message to prompt the user that the target application has received the target message when the target message of the target application is received. The prompt information may be sound information or screen change information (for example, a screen-on action and a screen-off action are alternately executed in a short time).

The first input may be a touch input, for example, a long press input, a voice input, or a specific gesture input.

It should be noted that the first input should be distinguished from the input that the user enters the application through the application icon.

The first input may be preset by the electronic device, or may be user-defined.

For example, after receiving the first input, the icon display device may be triggered to acquire the message content of the target message, so as to update the pattern of the application icon to the target object.

Example 2: in combination with the above example 1, in a case where the electronic device receives a push video message (i.e., the target message) of the video application from the network, if the electronic device receives a long press input (i.e., the first input) of an application icon of the video application by the user, the electronic device may acquire a video name and a video (i.e., the message content) of the push video message, and further update a pattern of the application icon of the video application to the video.

Therefore, when the electronic equipment contains the unread message, the icon display device does not directly update the pattern on the icon, but enables the user to select a mode required by the user to view the unread message, the user can trigger the electronic equipment to update the pattern of the application icon by performing first input on the application icon, directly view the unread message on the application icon, and also can select to enter the application view dimension message, so that the user can conveniently view the unread message and the privacy information of the user can be protected.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the step 202, the icon display method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following step B1 and step B2:

step B1: the icon display device receives a second input of the updated application icon from the user.

Step B2: in response to the second input, the icon display device displays a target interface.

The target interface is an interface corresponding to the target message of the target application.

For example, the second input may be a touch input, for example, a long press input; but also voice input; but may also be input for a particular gesture.

It should be noted that the second input should be the same as the input that the user enters the application through the application icon. For example, the input into the application is a single click input of the application icon, and the second input is also a single click input.

For example, the updated application icon may be an application icon that is displaying the target object.

The target interface may be any interface in the target application.

For example, the target interface may be an interface for displaying message content of the target message, for example, when the target message is a push video message, the target interface may be an interface for displaying video; the target interface may be a chat main interface corresponding to the unread image message when the target message is the unread image message of the chat application, and the image content of the unread image message is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device when the area corresponding to the unread image message in the chat main interface is clicked again.

Example 3: in combination with the above example 1, after the electronic device updates the pattern of the application icon of the video application to the video in the push video message, the electronic device displays a video interface (i.e., the target interface) after the user performs the click input (i.e., the second input) on the application icon displaying the video, where the video interface includes the video.

Therefore, when the user sees that the target object corresponding to the target message is displayed on the application icon, the user can directly click on the application icon and enter the target interface, and the message content of the target message can be directly displayed in the target interface or can be searched through the target interface, so that the user can be helped to view the target message in the shortest time, and the efficiency of using the electronic equipment by the user is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the step 202, the icon display method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps C1 to C3:

step C1: the icon display device receives a third input of the updated application icon.

Step C2: in response to the third input, the icon display apparatus transmits the target message to the first application.

Step C3: and the icon display device updates the pattern of the application icon of the first application to a target object corresponding to the message content when the first application receives the target message.

The first application may be any application in the electronic device that is different from the target application, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application. For example, the target application is video application 1, and the first application may be video application 2 or a chat application.

For example, the third input may be used to send the target message to the first application.

The third input may be a touch input, for example, a click input, a long press input, a drag input, or an input of a special voice, or an input of a special gesture, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In an example, the third input may be a drag input that is dragged by the user to the range of the application icon area of the updated target application.

In an embodiment, the third input may be a long-press input of the user on the updated application icon of the target application, triggering the application icon of the target application to display a suspension interface, displaying application identifiers of other applications except the target application in the suspension interface, and the user may send the target message to the first application by selecting and inputting the application identifier of the first application.

For example, the message content and the target object may refer to the foregoing description, and are not repeated herein.

For example, in the case where the first application updates the pattern of the application icon of the first application to the target object corresponding to the message content, the icon display device may receive the sixth input to the first application, and then the icon display device may open the first application and directly display the message content in the display interface thereof.

It should be noted that, the sixth input may be the same input manner as the user opens any application, for example, a click input; input modes other than opening any application for the user, such as double-click input, are also possible. Thus, when the pattern of the application icon of the first application is updated to the target object corresponding to the message content, the user can select to open the first application and display the target object by himself or only open the first application, and the target object is not directly displayed.

Example 4: in connection with example 1 above, after the electronic device updates the pattern of the application icon of the video application to the video in the push video message, the user performs drag input on the application icon of the display video, drags to the range where the application icon of the chat application (i.e., the first application) is located, and then the pattern of the application icon of the chat application is updated to the video in the push video message (i.e., the target object). At this time, the user performs a click input (i.e., the sixth input) on the application icon of the updated chat application, and the chat application is opened and is displayed on the video interface directly displaying the video (i.e., the message content) for viewing by the user.

Therefore, a user can directly send the target object to the first application outside the target application without entering the target application and searching for and opening the target object, so that the step of transmitting the target object inside the electronic equipment can be saved, and the efficiency of using the electronic equipment by the user is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the step 202, the icon display method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps D1 to D4:

step D1: the icon display device receives a fourth input of the updated application icon.

Step D2: in response to the fourth input described above, the icon display apparatus displays N identifications.

Illustratively, an identification indicates a contact.

Step D3: the icon display device receives a fifth input of a target identifier of the N identifiers.

Step D4: in response to the fifth input, the icon display device shares the target message to the target contact.

Illustratively, the fourth input described above may be used to invoke contact information in an electronic device.

The fourth input may be a touch input, for example, a click input, a long press input, or an input of a special voice, or an input of a special gesture, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In one example, the fourth input may be used to invoke contact information of the target application, for example, after the electronic device receives a long press input of an application icon of the target application by a user, the application icon of the target application will automatically pop up a floating interface containing a contact list of the target application.

In another example, the fourth input may be used to call contact information of the target application and other applications in the electronic device, for example, after the electronic device receives a long-press input of an application icon of the target application by a user, the application icon of the target application will automatically pop up a suspension interface, and application identifiers of all applications including the contact list in the electronic device are displayed in the suspension interface, where the application identifiers may be application names of the applications or patterns of the application icons, so that the contact lists corresponding to different applications may be distinguished by the application names or patterns. Therefore, after the user selects and inputs a certain application identifier, the display content of the suspension interface is updated into a contact list corresponding to the application identifier.

The above-mentioned marks may be text marks, image marks, digital marks, or a combination of various marks, for example, a combination of text marks and image marks.

Illustratively, the target identifier is used to indicate a target contact that the user needs to share.

For example, the fifth input may be used to select a target user corresponding to the target identifier, so as to share the message content to the target user.

The fifth input may be a touch input, for example, a click input, or an input of a special voice, or an input of a special gesture, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Example 5: in combination with example 1, after the electronic device updates the pattern of the application icon of the video application to push the video in the video message, the user performs a long press input (i.e. the fourth input) on the application icon of the video application, after the electronic device receives the long press input, the electronic device displays the contact list identifiers of 3 applications in the electronic device, which are respectively "chat application", "video application 2", and "video application 3", and the user selects "chat application", then the suspension interface is updated to a contact list corresponding to the chat application, all the contact identifiers (i.e. the N identifiers) in the chat application are displayed in the contact list, the user performs a click input (i.e. the fifth input) on the "user a" identifier (i.e. the target identifier) in the contact list, and after the electronic device receives the click input, the electronic device shares the video to the user a (i.e. the target contact).

Therefore, the user does not need to execute the step of entering the application, and can directly share the message content to any contact in the electronic equipment by directly operating the application icon of the target application, so that the step of operating the electronic equipment required for sharing the message content is greatly saved, and the efficiency of using the electronic equipment by the user is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before step 202, the icon display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step E:

step E: the icon display device determines a target object type matching the message category of the target message.

For example, the description of the target object and the message content may refer to the foregoing description, and will not be repeated herein.

Illustratively, the target object type is an object type of the target object.

The object type may be, for example, a display type of the target object.

In one example, the object types may include: text type, video type, picture type.

For example, the message category is a category corresponding to the message content of the target message, for example, if the message received by the chat application is a text message, the corresponding message category is text; if the message received by the chat application is a picture message, the corresponding message category is a picture, and if the message received by the chat application is a video message; the corresponding message category is video.

For example, the picture display device may determine the message category by identifying the category corresponding to the message content having the largest data information included in the message content. For example, a push video message in a video application includes a video name and a video, but since the data information of the video in the push video message is larger than the video name, the message type is video.

The target object type matching the message type of the target message may be the same as the message type of the target message.

Example 6: in connection with example 1 above, in the process that the electronic device updates the pattern of the application icon of the video application to the video in the push video message, the electronic device may determine the message type of the push video message in advance, and after confirming that the message type is video, determine that the type of the display content displayed on the application icon of the video application is also video (i.e., the target object type). Then, the application icon of the video application is updated to the video.

In this way, the electronic device can display the target message in the display type most needed by the user for the user to view, so that the user can more efficiently view the information required to be viewed by the user.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before the message content of the target message is obtained in the step 201, the icon display method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps F1 and F2:

step F1: the icon display device acquires user preference information.

Step F2: the icon display device determines the target message corresponding to the user preference information.

Illustratively, the user preference information is: the user presumed by the electronic device is interested in the target application for a predetermined period of time (e.g., approximately 3 days). The predetermined time period may be preset for the electronic device or may be set by a user in a user-defined manner, which is not limited in the present application.

In one example, the electronic device may collect historical usage data accumulated by the user while using the target application for a predetermined period of time, and obtain recent user preference data of the user by analyzing the historical usage data, thereby generating user preference information. The preference data may be data corresponding to content that the electronic device analyzes historical usage data through an analysis algorithm, where the obtained user pays attention to more in a predetermined time period.

For example, the user preference information may push related videos or other information to the user's mobile phone according to user preferences. For example, when the target application is a video application, video information that the user has recently frequently viewed may be determined as user preference information; when the target application is a shopping application, the target application can be determined to be user preference information according to commodity information which is frequently browsed by a user recently; when the target application is a game application, game information which is frequently played recently by a user or game information sent by friends can be determined to be user preference information; the information may be information collected in the background for the target application.

The above user preference information may also be information customized for the operation, for example. For example, when the target application is a video application, trending videos in the near-end video application may be determined as user preference information; the information is information customized by the target application in the background.

Therefore, the icon display device can serve the user more humanizedly for the target object corresponding to the personalized target message which is matched with personal love of the user on the application icon according to personal preference of the user, and meanwhile, the user is helped to improve the efficiency of using the electronic equipment.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the step 202, the icon display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps G1 and G2:

step G1: the icon display device receives a seventh input;

step G2: in response to the seventh input, the icon display device adjusts the display size of the target object on the desktop interface.

Illustratively, the seventh input described above may be used to resize the application icon.

For example, the description of the seventh input may refer to the description of the first input, which is not repeated herein.

In an example, the seventh input may be a double-finger touch input of the application icon by the user, and the seventh input is completed by adjusting a distance between the double fingers; the third input may also be performed by long-press input of the application icon by the user, where the long-press invokes a display control for adjusting the size of the target object, where the display control may include an option identifier for controlling the size change (e.g., zoom-in, zoom-out) of the target object.

Illustratively, the display size of the target object may be continuously adjusted according to the seventh input.

In one example, after the user performs the double-finger touch input on the application icon, if the double-finger distance is enlarged, the display size of the target object on the desktop interface may be enlarged until the target object is displayed in full screen, and if the double-finger distance is reduced, the display size of the target object on the desktop interface may be reduced until the target object is closed and no longer displayed, and after the target object is no longer displayed, the pattern of the application icon is still displayed on the application icon.

In one example, when a user presses a long press input of an application icon, after a display control is displayed on a desktop interface, the size of a target object is adjusted by inputting the display control.

It should be noted that, when the display size of the target object changes, the application icon may change, or may be fixed, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

Therefore, the user can flexibly adjust the display size of the target object, and can clearly view the target object without entering an application corresponding to the target object, so that the efficiency of using the electronic equipment is improved for the user.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the step 202, the icon display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps H1 and H2:

step H1: the icon display device receives an eighth input;

step H2: in response to the eighth input, the icon display apparatus shares the message content of the target message.

For example, the eighth input may refer to the foregoing description, and will not be described herein.

Illustratively, the eighth input may be for sharing the message content of the target message.

In one example, the eighth input may be a long press input of the application icon by the user, and the eighth input is completed by calling the sharing control for adjusting the size of the target object by the long press.

In another example, the eighth input may be a drag input of the application icon by the user, and the target object is dragged to other applications by dragging the application icon, so that the user can perform further operations conveniently.

Therefore, when the user needs to share the message content, the user can directly complete the sharing process of the message content on the desktop interface without entering an application interface of the target application, so that operation steps are saved for the user, and the efficiency of using the electronic equipment by the user is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before the obtaining the message content of the target message in the step 201, the icon display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following step I:

step I: and the icon display device acquires the message content of the target message when judging that the application icon updating configuration switch corresponding to the target application is in an on state.

The application icon update configuration switch can be used for controlling the electronic device to update the pattern on the application icon, and can also be used for controlling the pattern update times in the unit time period of the application icon.

The application icon update configuration switch may be preset and controlled by the electronic device, or may be controlled by the user, which is not limited in the present application.

It can be appreciated that if the application icon update configuration switch is in an off state, the electronic device does not update the pattern on the application icon.

Therefore, the user can automatically control whether the application icon starts the pattern updating function of the icon, so that the user can more reasonably use and control the pattern updating function in the electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment can more humanized meet the requirements of the user.
