step 201: the first electronic device is connected with the second electronic device.

It is understood that the above connection of the first electronic device and the second electronic device means: the first electronic device and the second electronic device are connected in a wired or wireless mode. For example, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be connected by a wire through a data line, or the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be connected wirelessly through a wireless local area network (or bluetooth).

It should be noted that, when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in a connected state, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may perform real-time communication.

For example, the screen size of the first electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may be larger than the screen size of the second electronic device. For example, the first electronic device may be a mobile phone, and the second electronic device may be a smart watch, where a screen size of the mobile phone is larger than a screen size of the smart watch, so that a user may operate the smart watch conveniently.

It should be noted that, in the following embodiment of the present application, an example will be described by taking the first electronic device as a mobile phone and the second electronic device as a smart watch.

Step 202: the control device receives a first input.

In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned receiving of the first input by the control device may be understood as: the control device receives a first input of a user, or the control device receives a first input instruction from the second electronic device.

In an embodiment of the present application, in a case that the control device receives the first input as the control device receives the first input of the user, the first input may be: the specific input of the user's click on the screen of the control device, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user may be determined according to the actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application can be single click input, double click input, click input of any number of times and the like, and can also be long-press input or short-press input.

In the embodiment of the present application, in a case where the control apparatus receives the first input as the control apparatus receives the first input instruction from the second electronic device, the second electronic device may transmit the first input instruction to the control apparatus after receiving an input (for example, a fifth input described below) by the user.

For example, the user input received by the second electronic device may be: the click input of the user on the screen of the second electronic device, or the voice instruction input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user may be specifically determined according to the actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In an example, the step 202 may specifically include the following steps: the control device receives a first input when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in a connected state.

Step 203: in response to the first input, the control device divides the screen into N display areas and displays M identifiers in the first display area.

The first display area is at least one of the N display areas, the M identifiers correspond to M icons of X icons displayed in the second electronic device, N is an integer greater than 1, X is a positive integer, and M is a positive integer less than or equal to X.

In this embodiment of the application, each of the N display areas corresponds to at least one page in the second electronic device. For example, the at least one page may include an original page in the second electronic device, or may also include an added page in the second electronic device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application. It is understood that the new page is a page that is newly added on the basis of the original page in the second electronic device.

In this embodiment of the present application, the N display areas may be set by default in the system, may also be set by the user, and may also be determined by the control device according to the target information, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Illustratively, the target information may include at least one of: the icon size of the X icons, the page number of the original page in the second electronic device, and the identifier number of the M identifiers.

The target information includes, but is not limited to, the three kinds of information, which can be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

Example 1, n may be the number of pages of the original page in the second electronic device. For example, in the case of a smart watch comprising 3 original pages, the cell phone may divide the cell phone screen into 3 display regions.

Example 2, n may be the number of identifiers of the above M identifiers plus 1. For example, in the case where the M identifiers are 3 identifiers, the mobile phone may divide the mobile phone screen into 4 display areas.

It can be understood that the M icons in the present application correspond to M identifiers, including: the display positions of the M icons have a mapping relation with the display positions of the M identifications.

In this embodiment, the second electronic device may include Y second pages, where Y is a positive integer, and Y may be greater than, equal to, or less than N. Illustratively, the second page is an original page in the second electronic device.

For example, the second electronic device includes 3 pages (i.e., the Y second pages mentioned above), which are page a, page B, and page C, respectively. The page A displays 2 application icons, namely an application icon of an application 1 and an application icon of an application 2; the page B displays 1 application icon, and the 1 application icon is an application icon of an application 3; the page C displays 1 application icon, and the 1 application icon is an application icon of the application 4, for example, when the mobile phone and the smart watch are in a connected state, if the user wants to trigger the mobile phone to enter the editing mode, the user can double-click the screen of the mobile phone, or the user can double-click the smart watch.

In example 1, as shown in fig. 2, the mobile phone may divide the mobile phone screen 31 into 3 display areas, namely an a area 31a corresponding to page a, a B area 31B corresponding to page B, and a C area 31C corresponding to page C. Wherein, 2 application identifiers are displayed in the a area 31a (i.e. the first display area), which are the application identifier 32 of the application 1 and the application identifier of the application 2 respectively; in the B area 31a (i.e., the first display area), 1 application id is displayed, and the 1 application id is an application id of the application 3; in the C area 31a (i.e., the first display area described above), 1 application id is displayed, and the 1 application id is an application id of the application 4.

Example 2, as shown in fig. 3, the mobile phone can divide the mobile phone screen 41 into 4 display areas, namely an a area 41a, a B area 41B, a C area 41C and a D area 41D. The a area 41a (i.e., the first display area) displays 4 application identifiers, which are an application identifier 42 of the application 1, an application identifier 43 of the application 2, an application identifier 44 of the application 3, and an application identifier 45 of the application 4, respectively, that is, the mobile phone can display identifiers corresponding to all icons in the smart watch in the a area 41a, and the B area 41B, the C area 41C, and the D area 41D do not display identifiers.

For example 3, as shown in fig. 4, the mobile phone may divide the mobile phone screen 41 into 2 display regions, which are an a region 51a and a B region 51B. The a area 51a (i.e., the first display area) displays 4 application identifiers, namely, an application identifier 52 of the application 1, an application identifier 53 of the application 2, an application identifier 54 of the application 3, and an application identifier 55 of the application 4, and the b area 51b does not display any identifier.

In the embodiment of the present application, the identifier in the present application may include at least one of: characters and pictures.

In this embodiment of the application, the X icons correspond to X identifiers, and in the case that M is smaller than X, after step 203, the method may further include the following steps: the control means may display the X identifiers other than the M identifiers after receiving a user's slide input on the first display area.

It should be noted that, in the case that the control device receives the first input instruction from the second electronic device, the step 203 may be understood as that the control device divides the screen into N display areas according to the first input instruction, and displays M identifiers in the first display area.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the N display regions may belong to the same screen or may belong to different screens.

In one example, the first electronic device may divide one screen into N sub-screens, where one sub-screen may correspond to one display region.

In another example, in a case where the first electronic device includes N screens, one screen may correspond to one display region.

In addition, when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are not connected, the control device may not respond to the first input if the control device receives the first input.

Step 204: the control device receives a second input for a first one of the M identifiers.

Wherein the first input is used for updating the display position of the first identifier.

In an embodiment of the present application, the second input may be: the specific determination may be according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In an example, the above-mentioned click input by the user for the first identifier specifically may include: a user click input on the first identifier and a user click input on a second display area described below.

For example, the first identifier may be at least one of the N identifiers.

Step 205: and responding to the second input, the control device displays the first identifier in a second display area and instructs the second electronic equipment to display a first icon corresponding to the first identifier on the first page.

Wherein the second display region corresponds to the first page.

In this embodiment of the application, the second display area may be at least one of the N display areas except for the initial display area where the first identifier is located.

In the embodiment of the present application, there may be one or more first pages, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment of the present application, the first page may be an original page in the second electronic device, or may also be a newly added page in the second electronic device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment, the first display region may include the second display region, or the first display region and the second display region may belong to different display regions of the N display regions.

Example 4, in conjunction with fig. 2, when the user wants to move the application icon of the application 1 displayed in the page a in the smart watch to the page B, the user may drag the application identifier 32 (i.e., the first identifier) displayed in the a area 31a to the B area 31B (i.e., the second display area). At this point, the handset displays the application identifier 32 in the B field 31B and instructs the smart watch to display the application icon for application 1 in page B (i.e., the first page described above).

It should be noted that, when the user wants to move the application icons of the application 1 and the application 2 displayed in the page a to the page B, the user may press the a area 31a for a long time, at this time, the mobile phone may select the application identifier 32 and the application identifier 33, and then the user may drag the application identifier 32 and the application identifier 33 together to the B area 31B, so that all the identifiers in the page a may be moved to the page B.

Example 5, referring to fig. 3, when the user wants to readjust the display positions of the application icons of 4 applications in the smart watch, the user may drag the application identifier 42 (i.e., the first identifier) displayed in the a area 41a to the B area 41B (i.e., the second display area), drag the application identifier 43 (i.e., the first identifier) to the C area 41C (i.e., the second display area), and drag the application identifier 44 and the application identifier 45 (i.e., the first identifier) to the D area 41D (i.e., the second display area). At this time, the mobile phone displays the application identifier 42 in the B area 41B, the application identifier 43 in the C area 41C, and the application identifier 44 and the application identifier 45 in the D area 41D, and instructs the smart watch to display the application icon of the application 1 in the page 1 (i.e., the first page described above), the application icon of the application 2 in the page 2 (i.e., the first page described above), and the application icon of the application 3 and the application icon of the application 4 in the page 3 (i.e., the first page described above).

Illustratively, a specific implementation manner of the control device instructing the second electronic device to display the first icon on the first page is as follows: the control device may send first indication information to the second electronic device, where the first indication information is used to instruct the second electronic device to display the first icon on the first page.

Illustratively, the first indication information may include at least one of: the identification information of the first icon, the page where the first icon is located, and the display position of the page where the first icon is located.

For example, the indication information in the embodiment of the present application may be indication signaling. For example, the first indication information may be a first indication instruction.

In one example, the control apparatus may transmit the first indication information to the second electronic device through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the different first inputs may indicate that the first electronic device is in different editing modes, for example, a long press input by a user on a screen of the first electronic device may indicate that the second display area in the first electronic device corresponds to an original page in the second electronic device; the user may indicate that the second display area in the first electronic device corresponds to a newly added page in the second electronic device by double-click input on the screen of the second electronic device, and specifically may be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

According to the control method provided by the embodiment of the application, first, a first electronic device is connected with a second electronic device; then, the control means may divide the screen into N display areas after receiving the first input, and display M logos in the first display area (at least one of the N display areas), wherein the M logos correspond to M icons of the X icons displayed in the second electronic device. Then, after receiving a second input for a first identifier of the M identifiers, the control device may display the first identifier in a second display area (corresponding to a first page), and instruct the second electronic device to display a first icon corresponding to the first identifier in the first page. Through the scheme, when a user wants to move the icon on the second electronic device, the user can trigger the first electronic device to divide the screen into the N display areas, the identifier corresponding to the icon displayed by the second electronic device is displayed in the first display area, and then the user can control the icon displayed by the second electronic device to move across pages through inputting the identifier displayed by the first electronic device. Compared with the scheme that in the prior art, due to the fact that the screen of the second electronic device is small, a user may not accurately select the icon to be moved and needs to repeatedly select the icon continuously, the icon moving process is simple and convenient to operate and high in efficiency.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the user may trigger the cross-page movement of the icon in the second electronic device by moving the identifier in the first electronic device across the area.

Exemplarily, the second electronic device includes Y second pages, and the X icons are displayed on the Y second pages; each of the N display regions may correspond to at least one second page, the first page is one of the Y second pages, and Y is an integer greater than or equal to N.

In one example, in a case where Y is equal to N, each of the N display areas may correspond to one second page.

In another example, in a case where Y is greater than N, each of the N display regions may correspond to at least one second page.

For example, taking the example that the second electronic device includes page D in addition to the above-mentioned 3 pages, where page D displays 1 application icon, and the 1 application icon is an application icon of application 5. Under the condition that the mobile phone and the smart watch are in a connected state, if a user wants to trigger the mobile phone to enter an editing mode, the user can double-click a screen of the mobile phone. At this time, as shown in fig. 2, the cellular phone may divide the cellular phone screen 31 into 3 display areas, which are an a area 31a, a B area 31B, and a C area 31C, respectively. When the user wants to view page D, the user can slide to the left in the a-region 31 a. At this time, as shown in fig. 5, the cellular phone may display 1 application id in the a area 31a, the 1 application id being the application id 33 of the application 5, and the b area 31b and the C area 31C being kept unchanged. When the user wants to move the application icon of the application 5 displayed in the page D in the smart watch to the page B, the user may drag the application identifier 33 (i.e., the first identifier described above) displayed in the a area 31a to the B area 31B. At this point, the handset displays the application identifier 33 in the B field 31B and instructs the smart watch to display the application icon for the application 5 in page B (i.e., the first page described above).

The control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a cross-page moving scene in which the icon in the second electronic equipment is triggered by the cross-region movement of the identifier in the first electronic equipment, and when a user wants to move the icon in the second electronic equipment, the user can intuitively adjust the display position of the icon in the second electronic equipment through the input of the identifier in the first electronic equipment, so that the icon moving process is simple and convenient to operate and high in efficiency.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, a user may trigger the second electronic device to add a new page and the cross-page movement of an icon in the second electronic device by moving the identifier in the first electronic device across the area.

For example, in the case that the first display area may be one of the N display areas, the instructing, in step 205, the second electronic device to display the first icon corresponding to the first identifier on the first page may specifically include the following step 205a:

step 205a: the control device instructs the second electronic equipment to add the first page and displays a first icon corresponding to the first identifier on the first page.

It should be noted that, when the first display area is one of the N display areas, the initial display area where the first identifier is located is the first display area; the second display area is the display area except the first display area in the N display areas, and corresponds to at least one newly added page.

Example 6, in conjunction with fig. 4, when the user wants to readjust the display positions of the icons of application 1 and application 3 among the application icons of the 4 applications in the smart watch, the user can drag the application identifier 52 and the application identifier 54 displayed in the a area 51a into the B area 51B. At this time, the cell phone displays the application identifier 52 and the application identifier 54 in the B area 51B, and instructs the smart watch to add a new page D, and displays icons of the application 1 and the application 3 in the page D.

The control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene of adding the newly added page in the second electronic equipment, and the first electronic equipment can quickly realize the addition of the first page in the second electronic equipment and display the first icon in the first page by dividing the second display area corresponding to the newly added page in the second electronic equipment, so that the step of adding the page in the second electronic equipment is simplified, and the icon moving process is more flexible.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the second display area may correspond to different additional pages.

Illustratively, after the step 205a, the method may further include the following steps 205b to 205e:

step 205b: the control device receives a third input of the user to the second display area.

For example, the third input may be: the click input of the user on the second display area, or the click input of the user on the preset control, or the voice instruction input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user may be determined according to the actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step 205c: in response to the third input, the control device cancels the display of the first identifier in the second display area.

For example, the control device may update the page corresponding to the second display area after receiving the third input, that is, the second display area corresponds to the first page before receiving the third input, and the second display area corresponds to a third page after receiving the third input.

Step 205d: the control means receives a fourth input for a second one of the M identifiers.

For example, the fourth input may be: the user may specifically determine the actual use requirement according to the click input of the second identifier, the drag input of the first identifier by the user, the voice instruction input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In an example, the click input by the user for the first identifier specifically may include: a user click input to the first identifier and a user click input on the second display area.

Step 205e: and responding to the fourth input, the control device displays the second identifier in a second display area, instructs the second electronic equipment to add a third page, and displays a second icon corresponding to the second identifier on the third page.

For example, the third page may be a newly added page in the second electronic device.

For example, the control device may instruct the second electronic device to add a third page by sending second indication information to the second electronic device, and display a second icon corresponding to the second identifier on the third page.

By way of example, with reference to example 6, after the mobile phone displays the application identifier 52 and the application identifier 54 in the B area 51B and instructs the smart watch to add a new page D, and after the icons of the application 1 and the application 3 are displayed in the page D, if the user wants to display the icons of the application 2 and the application 4 in the smart watch in the new page, the user may drag the application identifier 53 and the application identifier 55 displayed in the a area 51a to the B area 51B. At this time, the cell phone displays the application identifier 53 and the application identifier 55 in the B area 51B, instructs the smart watch to add a new page E, and displays icons of the applications 2 and 4 in the page E. Thus, the smart watch may have two new pages, page D and page E, respectively, where page D has icons for application 1 and application 3 displayed therein and page E has icons for application 2 and application 4 displayed therein.

It should be noted that, after the smart watch displays the icons of the application 1 and the application 3 in the page D and displays the icons of the application 2 and the application 4 in the page E, the page a, the page B, and the page C may be retained, or the page a, the page B, and the page C may be deleted, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene that a plurality of newly added pages are added in the same display area, and a user can switch the page corresponding to the second display area according to requirements, so that the purpose that a plurality of newly added pages are added in the second electronic equipment by using one display area in the first electronic equipment is achieved, and the icon moving process is more flexible.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the control device may determine the number N of the display areas according to different information, so that the icon size of the displayed icon in the display area is more beneficial to the user operation.

In an example, before dividing the screen into N display regions in step 203 described above, the method may further include the following steps A1 and A2:

step A1: the control device acquires the icon sizes of the X icons.

For example, the control device may acquire an icon size of any one of the X icons.

Step A2: the control device determines the N display areas based on the icon size.

Wherein the mark size of the M marks displayed in the N display areas is greater than or equal to the icon size.

It should be noted that, because the screen size of the first electronic device is larger, the first electronic device may adaptively increase the representation size of the identifier, that is, the identifier size may be larger than the icon size, which may be beneficial to the user operation.

For example, the smart watch has 5 pages, and if the mobile phone divides the screen of the mobile phone into 5 display areas, and each display area corresponds to one page, the size of the identifier displayed in each display area may be too small, which is not favorable for the user to operate. At this time, the mobile phone may obtain an icon size of an icon displayed in the smart watch, and divide the screen into 3 display areas, where a size of the identifier in the 3 display areas is equal to the icon size of the icon in the smart watch.

The control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene of determining the number of the display areas, and the first electronic device can determine the N display areas by acquiring the icon size of the icon displayed by the second electronic device, so that the mark size of the mark in each display area is greater than or equal to the icon size, the operation of a user can be facilitated, and the process step of moving the icon can be simple and convenient.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, before the step 204, the method may further include the following steps: after receiving a sixth input of the user for the first identifier, the control device displays the first identifier according to a preset display mode, and simultaneously instructs the second electronic device to display the first icon according to the preset display mode. Wherein the preset display mode comprises at least one of the following items: highlighting and shaking.

For example, the sixth input may be: the click input of the first identifier by the user or the voice instruction input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that another control method provided in the embodiments of the present application may be applied to the second electronic device, in other words, the control method may be executed by software or hardware installed in the second electronic device.

In the following embodiments of the present application, a control method will be exemplarily described by taking an execution subject as a control device as an example. Fig. 6 is a schematic flowchart of another control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, including step 601 and step 602:

step 601: the control device receives the target indication information from the first electronic device in a case where the second electronic device and the first electronic device are connected.

The target indication information is used for indicating that the first electronic equipment displays a target mark in the second display area. X icons are displayed in the second electronic equipment; the first electronic equipment comprises N display areas, M identifications are displayed in the first display area, the M identifications correspond to M icons in the X icons, and the M identifications comprise the target identifications; the first display area is at least one of the N display areas; n is an integer greater than 1, X is a positive integer, and M is a positive integer less than or equal to X.

It is to be understood that the connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device as described above refers to: the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment are connected in a wired or wireless mode. For example, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be connected by a wire through a data line, or the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be connected wirelessly through a wireless local area network (or bluetooth).

It should be noted that, when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in a connected state, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can perform real-time communication.

In this embodiment of the application, the second electronic device may include Y second pages, where Y is a positive integer, and Y may be greater than, equal to, or less than N. The second page is an original page in the second electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the icon in the present application may include at least one of the following: characters and pictures.

Step 602: the control device displays a target icon on the target page based on the target indication information.

The target page corresponds to the second display area, and the target icon corresponds to the target identifier.

In this embodiment of the present application, there may be one or multiple target pages, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment, the target page may be an original page in the second electronic device, or may be a newly added page in the second electronic device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the displaying the target icon on the target page in step 602 may specifically include the following steps 602a:

step 602a: the control device adds a target page and displays a target icon on the target page.

Illustratively, the target page is an additional page in the second electronic device.

In the control method provided by the embodiment of the application, when the second electronic device is connected to the first electronic device, after the control device receives the target indication information from the first electronic device, the control device may display the target icon on the target page based on the target indication information. Compared with the scheme that in the prior art, due to the fact that the screen of the second electronic device is small, a user may not accurately select the icon to be moved and needs to repeatedly select the icon, the control device can achieve rapid movement of the icon in the second electronic device based on the target indication information received from the first electronic device, and the icon moving process is simple and convenient to operate and high in efficiency.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second electronic device includes Y second pages, and the X icons are displayed on the Y second pages; each display area in the N display areas corresponds to at least one second page, the target page is one of the Y second pages, and Y is an integer greater than or equal to N.

In another example, in a case where Y is greater than N, each of the N display areas may correspond to at least one second page.

For example, taking the example that the second electronic device includes page D in addition to the above-mentioned 3 pages, where page D displays 1 application icon, and the 1 application icon is an application icon of application 5. Under the condition that the mobile phone and the smart watch are in a connected state, if a user wants to trigger the mobile phone to enter an editing mode, the user can double-click a screen of the mobile phone. At this time, as shown in fig. 2, the mobile phone may divide the mobile phone screen 31 into 3 display regions, which are an a region 31a, a B region 31B, and a C region 31C. When the user wants to view page D, the user can slide to the left in the a-region 31 a. At this time, as shown in fig. 5, the cellular phone may display 1 application id in the a area 31a, the 1 application id being the application id 33 of the application 5, and the b area 31b and the C area 31C being kept unchanged. When the user wants to move the application icon of the application 5 displayed in the page D in the smart watch to the page B, the user may drag the application identifier 33 (i.e., the above-mentioned target identifier) displayed in the a area 31a to the B area 31B. At this point, the handset displays the application identifier 33 in the B field 31B and instructs the smart watch to display the application icon for the application 5 in page B (i.e., the destination page described above).

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, before receiving the target indication information from the first electronic device in step 601, the method may further include the following steps 601a and 602b:

step 601a: the control device receives a fifth input from the user.

For example, the fifth input may be: the click input of the user on the screen, or the voice instruction input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user may be specifically determined according to the actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

Step 602b: in response to the fifth input, the control device instructs the first electronic device to divide the screen into N display areas and to display the M identifiers in the first display area.

For example, the control device may control the first electronic device to divide the screen into N display areas by sending the third indication information to the first electronic device, and control the first electronic device to display the M identifiers in the first display area.

For example, a different fifth input may indicate that the first electronic device is in a different editing mode, e.g., a long press input by a user on a screen of the second electronic device may indicate that the second display area in the first electronic device corresponds to an original page in the second electronic device; the user may indicate that the second display area in the first electronic device corresponds to a newly added page in the second electronic device by double-click input on the screen of the second electronic device, and specifically, the second display area may be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

For example, the second electronic device includes 3 pages (i.e., the Y second pages mentioned above), which are page a, page B, and page C. The page A displays 2 application icons which are an application icon of an application 1 and an application icon of an application 2 respectively; the page B displays 1 application icon, and the 1 application icon is an application icon of an application 3; the page C displays 1 application icon, and the 1 application icon is an application icon of the application 4 as an example, and when the mobile phone and the smart watch are in a connected state, if the user wants to trigger the mobile phone to enter an editing mode, the user can press the smart watch for a long time. Then, the smart watch sends third indication information to the mobile phone, and after the mobile phone receives the third indication information, as shown in fig. 2, the mobile phone may divide the mobile phone screen 31 into 3 display areas, which are an area a corresponding to the page a, an area B corresponding to the page B, and an area C corresponding to the page C. Wherein, 2 application identifiers are displayed in the a area 31a (i.e. the first display area), which are the application identifier 32 of the application 1 and the application identifier of the application 2 respectively; in the B area 31a (i.e., the first display area), 1 application id is displayed, and the 1 application id is an application id of the application 3; in the C area 31a (i.e., the first display area described above), 1 application id is displayed, and the 1 application id is an application id of the application 4.

The control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene that the first electronic device is triggered to divide the display area by using the input of other electronic devices of the user, and the control device can instruct the first electronic device to divide the screen into N display areas and display the M marks in the first display area after receiving the fifth input of the user, so that the process of controlling the first electronic device to divide the display area is more flexible.
