A display method of an application icon, a display apparatus of an application icon, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium according to some embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 21.

In an embodiment of the present application, fig. 1 shows one of flowcharts of a display method of an application icon of the embodiment of the present application, including:

102, displaying information on an application icon;

wherein the information includes: application-related functionality options corresponding to the application icon, and/or application-related push messages. For example, in the case of a wallet application, the function options include payment, borrowing, fund and the like, and the push message includes a bank card account entering message, a stock market trend prompting message and the like. Moreover, as shown in fig. 18, the push message can be displayed in the form of text, picture, video, etc., so that the novelty of displaying the push message is increased, and the user can know the content of the push message conveniently.

In this embodiment, in the system setting, information that can be displayed on the application icon is configured in advance, so that the function options of the application program and/or the push messages received by the application program can be visually presented to the user through the application icon, so that the user can know the functions and information related to the application program. And can also make all kinds of real-time information transmit the user more effectively, be favorable to promoting the click rate of propelling movement message for the display form of propelling movement message is more novel, promotes user's use and experiences.

For a specific example, by taking a taxi taking APP as an example, as shown in fig. 12, the position of a taxi called by a user and the main characteristics (push message) of the vehicle are shown on an APP floating layer, so that a user can check the detailed vehicle characteristics of calling the taxi without opening a mode of resuming an order after dropping the taxi APP, and the user experience of using the APP to take the taxi can be greatly improved by the mode.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to prevent that all kinds of APPs from all using this function, in system configuration, can carry out the authority control that the application icon shows the information display function to each APP, prevent that all kinds of APPs of full screen show various information and lead to uncomfortable sensation when the user uses electronic equipment.

Step 104, receiving a first input of information displayed on an application icon;

wherein the first input includes, but is not limited to, a click input, a key input, a fingerprint input, a swipe input, and a press input. The key input includes, but is not limited to, a power key, a volume key, a single-click input of a main menu key, a double-click input, a long-press input, a combination key input, etc. to the electronic device. Of course, the first input may also be other operations of the electronic device by the user, and the operation manner in the embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited, and may be any realizable manner.

And 106, responding to the first input, and displaying an interface corresponding to the information.

In this embodiment, the information displayed on the application icon is used as an entry of the convenient function of the application program, and a user can skip to an interface corresponding to a function option or a push message through the operation (first input) of the information on the application icon by the electronic device, so that the user can use the convenient function inside the application program conveniently, and the convenience of the application program is improved.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the function options and the push message have sufficient display areas, the application icon may be set to be a large icon with a larger size, for example, the conventional small icon may have a size of 1 × 1, and the large icon may have a size of 1 × 4, 2 × 2, 2 × 3, and the like, which is not limited in this application.

It can be understood that only the function option may be set on the editable area of the application icon, only the push message may be displayed, and certainly, a part of the area may display the function option and a part of the area push message at the same time. And the other areas except the editable area on the application icon are conventional starting entrances of the application program, so that the application icon is ensured to have convenient and fast functions and can execute conventional starting operation.

In particular, the display method of the application icon is suitable for electronic devices including, but not limited to, mobile terminals, tablet computers, notebook computers, wearable devices, vehicle-mounted terminals, and the like.

In an embodiment of the present application, in a case that an application icon has a first area, and the first area has a shortcut option area corresponding to each function option in at least one function option, fig. 2 shows a second flowchart of a display method of the application icon in the embodiment of the present application, which includes:

step 202, receiving a second input to any shortcut option area;

and step 204, responding to the second input, and displaying a function interface of the function option corresponding to any shortcut option area.

In this embodiment, the application icon has a first area for displaying the function options, and in the case of having a plurality of function options, the first area may be further divided into a plurality of shortcut option areas, and in the case of having only one function option, the first area is a shortcut option area corresponding to the function option. The shortcut option area corresponds to the functions of the application program one by one, and the shortcut option area is an entrance of a function interface of the function option. The user can trigger the corresponding function starting of the application program through the second input of the shortcut option area, and the function interface of the function option corresponding to the shortcut option area is displayed on the screen of the electronic equipment, so that the user can directly use the application program function of the function interface, unnecessary interface skip operations are reduced, and the use experience of the user on the application program is greatly improved.

For example, as shown in fig. 13, taking a payment-type APP as an example, some function options that are relatively commonly used are displayed on an APP icon with a size of 2 × 2, specifically, the first area 110 of the APP icon is divided into 3 shortcut function areas, which are upper left, lower left, and upper right, and each shortcut function area corresponds to one function option (payment, riding, and spending), so that a user can know all the function options operable in an application program. After clicking the quick function area corresponding to the 'riding' function option, the user can directly enter the riding payment corresponding function, and the user can conveniently enter the subway station and take the payment speed of the bus in the mode; similarly, when the user clicks the quick function area corresponding to the 'payment' function option, the payment code is directly displayed, so that the life of the user is facilitated. Wherein, the shortcut function area comprises at least one of the following: annular area, rectangular area, circular area. The area of the application icon other than the first area 110 is a second area 120.

In an embodiment of the present application, fig. 3 shows a third flowchart of a display method of an application icon according to an embodiment of the present application, including:

and 302, under the condition that the push message related to the function option is received, canceling the function option on the quick option area and displaying the push message related to the function option on the quick option area.

In this embodiment, in order to enable the user to more intuitively know the application function to which the push message belongs, if the push message related to the function option is received, the push message is displayed on the shortcut option area related to the function option instead of the function option. The user can directly enter the designated interface in the application program by accurately clicking the shortcut option area on the application icon, so that the convenience of the user in operating the application program is greatly improved.

For example, taking a payment APP as an example, the application icon has 2 shortcut option areas corresponding to "pay" and "ride" function options, respectively. When push information that the balance of the account after payment is xxxx is received, canceling to display payment in a quick option area where a payment function option is located, and displaying the balance of the account after payment as xxxx instead, so that a user can know functions related to the message conveniently.

Similarly, in the case where the application icon has the second area, fig. 4 shows a fourth flowchart of the application icon display method according to the embodiment of the present application, and the fourth flowchart includes:

step 402, receiving a third input to the second area;

in response to the third input, an initial interface of the application is displayed, step 404.

The initial interface is an application program home page under the condition that the application program is restarted after the application program process is interrupted, and the initial interface is an interface when the application program is operated in the background under the condition that the application program is restarted after the application program process is operated in the background.

In this embodiment, the second area is an initial interface entry of the application program, and the user can open the application program through a second input to the second area (the area where the application icon is not editable), and display an initial interface corresponding to the application program on the screen of the electronic device. Therefore, the user can normally use the application program without entering the shortcut function, and the daily work and life of the user are facilitated.

Specific examples thereof are given. Directly quitting APP at the X interface of APP, the APP still operates at the background, the second area of icon is clicked again, then the X interface of acquiescence entering APP directly resumes to the APP interface that the user stayed when finally using this APP, unless the APP quits background time overlength, results in the cell-phone host process to close the APP process, at this moment, click the second area then directly get into the APP home page.

Likewise, in an embodiment of the present application, in a case that the application icon has a third area, and the third area has a shortcut message area corresponding to each push message in at least one push message, fig. 5 shows a fifth flowchart of a display method of the application icon of the embodiment of the present application, which includes:

step 502, receiving a fourth input to any shortcut message area;

and 504, responding to the fourth input, and displaying a message content interface corresponding to the push message in any shortcut message area.

In this embodiment, the application icon has a third area for displaying push messages, and in the case of multiple push messages, the third area may be further divided into multiple shortcut message areas, and in the case of only one push message, the third area is a shortcut message area corresponding to the push message. The shortcut message area is a message content interface inlet corresponding to the push message, and the user can open an interface of the related content of the push message through the fourth input of the shortcut message area. The user can check the detailed content of the pushed message through the fourth area of the application icon at any time, and the daily work and life of the user are facilitated.

Further, in order to ensure the definition of the push messages during display, the third area can only partition a designated number of shortcut message areas at most, that is, only display the designated number of push messages on the application icon, where the designated number is related to the size of the application icon, and the larger the size is, the larger the designated number is.

It is understood that the application icon may be set to include at least one of the first area, the second area and the third area according to preset area configuration parameters, and the area configuration parameters include the proportion, position or size, etc. of the first area, the second area and the third area on the application icon. For example, the application icon may be divided into a first area and a second area by displaying function options on the application icon. Because when setting the first area of the 1 × 2 or 2 × 2 application icon, considering the single-hand operation habit of the user, the first area is located at the position above the application icon by default or at the position to the left, and it is ensured that 70% of the second area of the application icon can be clicked directly into the application home page. For another example, only push messages are displayed on the application icons, and all the application icons can be used as the third area. Further, the third area and the first area may be located in the same position on the application icon, that is, only one of the function option and the push message is displayed on the application icon. The third area and the first area can also be located at different positions on the application icon, that is, the function options and the push messages can be simultaneously displayed on the application icon.

For example, as shown in fig. 18, by taking a news APP with an APP icon size of 2 × 2 as an example, when the APP receives news information (push message), three information expression forms of picture, text and video can be displayed, so that it is more convenient for a user to receive main message information pushed by various APPs, click the APP and then directly enter the main page of the news information to check the main content of the news information, wherein a silent short and short video can be directly played on the APP icon.

In one embodiment of the present application, the manner of displaying information on the application icon includes:

the first method is as follows: and simultaneously displaying a plurality of function options or a plurality of push messages on the application icon.

In this embodiment, a plurality of function options may be simultaneously displayed on the application icon, or a plurality of push messages may be simultaneously displayed on the application icon, so that the user can simultaneously know all the function options or push messages of the application program through the application icon, and the user can accurately select a desired function or view a push message.

For example, as shown in fig. 13, taking a payment-type APP as an example, three functional options of "pay", "ride" and "flower" are simultaneously displayed on a 2 × 2 APP icon.

The second method comprises the following steps: and at least one of the at least one function option and the at least one push message is displayed on the application icon in a scrolling mode.

In this embodiment, in consideration of the limitation of the application icon display area, if the application icons are displayed simultaneously, the area occupied by each function option or each push message is small, which is not favorable for the user to view, and the small area is also not favorable for the user to operate. And circularly scrolling and displaying the function options and/or the push messages on the application icon, wherein the number of the function options capable of being scrolled and displayed can be 1 or more, and the number of the push messages capable of being scrolled and displayed can be 1 or more, so that the function options and/or the push messages are periodically and alternately displayed. And only a specified amount of information can be displayed on the application icon within a preset display period. Therefore, the occupied area of a plurality of information on the application icon is reduced, the application icon is simpler, and misoperation of the application program caused by excessive information by a user is avoided.

In the case where the application icon is used only for displaying the function options, the plurality of function options are periodically displayed in the display order; similarly, in the case where the application icon is used only to display push messages, a plurality of push messages are periodically displayed in the display order; in the case that the application icon is used for displaying the function option and the push message, the function option and the push message can be alternately displayed in a scrolling manner in the same area on the application icon, and a plurality of function options can also be displayed in a scrolling manner in the first area of the application icon, and a plurality of push messages can also be displayed in a scrolling manner in the third area.

For example, the preset display period is 30s, a second function option is displayed on the application icon after the first function option is displayed for 30s, a third function option is displayed on the application icon after the second function option is displayed for 30s, and so on, so that a plurality of function options are displayed in a rolling cycle manner. For another example, the preset display period is 1min, a first function option is displayed on the application icon after the first push message is displayed for 1min, and a second function option is displayed on the application icon after the first function option is displayed for 1 min. The display order of the plurality of function options and/or the plurality of push messages may also be ordered according to the priority of the information.

For example, as shown in fig. 14, for example, by taking a taxi-taking APP on a mobile phone, in a 1 × 2 application icon, a shortcut button (shortcut function area) of two function options of "taxi-taking" and "invoice-making" is dynamically turned on the left side of the application icon, if a user clicks the "taxi-taking" or "invoice-making" button, the user can directly enter a direct interaction page of taxi-taking or invoice-making in the APP, and click the right side (second area) of the application icon defaults to perform a home page of the APP. It can be understood that the shortcut button is arranged on the left side of the application icon because most users operate the mobile phone with the right hand, and the shortcut button is arranged on the left side to prevent the users from mistakenly clicking and misoperation.

In some possible designs, it is considered that if a plurality of pieces of information are displayed simultaneously, the area occupied by each function option or push message on the application icon is small, or the total time required for circularly displaying all the function options or push messages is long, which reduces the convenience of the user in operating the application program, and is not beneficial to exerting the advantage of a large icon. Therefore, an upper limit value of the number of the information which can be displayed on the application icon is set, wherein the first preset number is used for limiting the number of the function options which can be displayed on the application icon, and the second preset number is used for limiting the number of the push messages which can be displayed on the application icon. When the number of the function options set by the user is larger than a first preset number, displaying the function options of the first preset number on the application icon according to the priority of the function corresponding to each function option, wherein the priority of the function is related to the use frequency of the function.

Similarly, when a plurality of push messages related to the application program are received and the number of the plurality of push messages is greater than a second preset number, the push messages are displayed on the application icon according to the priority of each push message. The priority of the push message is related to at least one of the click rate of the push message, the time of receipt of the push message, and the type of the push message. For example, if the APP continuously receives a new push message prompt, the next message is displayed according to the time sequence, in order to prevent the backlog of stored push messages from being greater than or equal to 3 (a second preset number) push messages, at most three push messages are displayed, when a plurality of push messages arrive, the 3 latest push messages are displayed according to the time sequence by default, the push messages are directly deleted, or only the push messages of the day are displayed, the push messages received yesterday are not displayed on the icon, and the push messages are deleted by default.

In an embodiment of the present application, in a case where at least one of at least one function option and at least one push message is scroll-displayed on an application icon, fig. 6 shows a sixth flowchart of a display method of the application icon of the embodiment of the present application, including:

step 602, receiving a fifth input to the electronic device;

and step 604, responding to the fifth input, and switching the function options or push messages displayed on the application icons.

In this embodiment, when scrolling display at least one function option and/or at least one push message on the application icon, there may be a function that the currently displayed function option is not desired by the user, or that the currently displayed push message is not of interest to the user. The currently displayed function option or push message may be switched to the next function option or push message in the display order by a switching operation (fifth input). For example, a "payment" function option, a clockwise swipe operation or a counterclockwise swipe operation (fifth input) "payment" corresponding shortcut function area is being displayed on the application icon, the corresponding payment function is switched to the riding function in the shortcut function area, and a "riding" function option is displayed on the application icon. For another example, when there are multiple push messages arriving, the latest push message is preferentially displayed, and if the user is not interested in the push, the push message reminder can be directly deleted by sliding left or right (fifth input), indicating that the user is not interested in the message, and the next push message is displayed.

In an embodiment of the present application, in a case that the information includes a function option, fig. 7 shows a seventh flowchart of a display method of an application icon of an embodiment of the present application, and the method includes:

step 702, displaying a setting interface of the function options;

the setting interface is used for displaying each function of the application program according to a preset sequence. The preset order is associated with any one of the frequency of use, name, type of each function. For example, each function is displayed in descending order of the use frequency of the function, and the function at the first position is the function most frequently used by the user, so that the user can quickly find the required function.

Step 704, receiving a sixth input for any function on the setting interface;

step 706, in response to the sixth input, setting the function options displayed on the application icon.

In this embodiment, the user screens out a target function directly triggered by operating the application icon from all functions of the application program by sixth inputting the function displayed on the setting interface, and sets a function option to be displayed on the application icon according to the target function. When the user operates the shortcut function area corresponding to the function option, the user can directly jump to the function interface corresponding to the function option. Therefore, the personalized setting of the function options is realized, and the problems of misoperation and unclean icons caused by the fact that all the function options are displayed on the application icons are solved.

For example, as shown in fig. 15, taking "pay treasure" APP as an example, 5 functions of payment, ant forest, life payment, flower, and fund are displayed in a setting interface 200 of "setting" in APP or "setting" in the system, wherein 4 function options of payment, life payment, flower, and fund are displayed in APP icon when the ant forest is in an unselected state and the payment, life payment, flower, and fund are in a selected state. The user can flexibly configure the function options displayed on the application icons by operating the functions in the setting interface.

Further, when the number of the function options is greater than the first preset number, it is indicated that the function selected by the user exceeds the number of the maximum function options that can be displayed by the application icon, and if all the function options corresponding to all the target functions are displayed, the shortcut function area occupied by each function option is smaller, or the total time for circularly displaying all the function options is longer, so that the convenience of the user in operating the application program is reduced, and the advantage of the large icon is not favorably exerted. At the moment, prompt information is output, so that a user can adjust the function options required to be displayed on the application icon in time, the neatness and the convenience of the application icon can be considered, and misoperation of the user is avoided.

Further, receiving a seventh input for setting any function on the interface; in response to the seventh input, adjusting an order of the function options in the application icon. Therefore, the function options displayed on the application icons can be further adjusted by adjusting the sequence of the functions in the setting interface, and the use habits of users are met while the tidiness and convenience of the application icons are ensured.

For example, as shown in fig. 16, 5 functions of payment, ant forest, life payment, flower, and fund are displayed on the setting interface 200, wherein the ant forest is in an unselected state, and the payment, life payment, flower, and fund are in a selected state, so that it is determined that 4 functions of payment, life payment, flower, and fund are displayed on the APP icon. And when the setting is saved, checking whether the maximum number (the first preset number) of the function options is exceeded or not, and popping up a user prompt to inform a user that 4 function options are larger than the upper limit of the number of the function options set by the system, wherein the 4 function options can not be completely displayed on the application icon. The function options listed above by default are presented with priority higher than the lower bar in top-to-bottom order. Meanwhile, the user can change the sequence of the function options by dragging operation (seventh input) between the function horizontal bars, so that the user can flexibly configure the function options displayed on the application icons by operating the function options in the setting interface.

In an embodiment of the present application, fig. 8 shows an eighth flowchart of a display method of an application icon of the embodiment of the present application, including:

step 802, displaying a preview of the application icon on a setting interface.

The preview image comprises distribution information and description information of the function options in the application icon.

In this embodiment, in the process of configuring the function options displayed on the application icon, a preview of the application icon may also be displayed on the setting interface, where the preview is used to display description information of the target function selected by the user, distribution information of the shortcut function area corresponding to the function option on the application icon, and the like. Therefore, the method and the device improve the condition that a user intuitively and clearly knows the shortcut function area corresponding to the function option, reduce misoperation of the user as much as possible, and facilitate the user to conveniently enter the interface of the application program.

For example, as shown in fig. 17, taking "pay treasure" APP as an example, 5 functions of payment, ant forest, life payment, flower, and fund are displayed on the setting interface 200, wherein the ant forest and life payment are in an unselected state, and the payment, flower, and fund are in a selected state, so that it is determined that 3 functions of payment, flower, and fund are displayed on the APP icon. And an icon effect preview image 210 after the setting is given on the setting interface 200 so that the user can explicitly click on the description of the application icon.

In an embodiment of the present application, fig. 9 shows a ninth flowchart of a display method of an application icon of the embodiment of the present application, including:

step 1002, receiving an eighth input to the application icon;

and 1004, in response to the eighth input, canceling the display of the push message and displaying the function option on the application icon.

In this embodiment, push messages received by the application may not be of interest to the user, or may not want to display the push messages on the application icon. At this time, the user may cancel displaying the push message on the application icon by inputting the eighth input to the application icon, so that the push message being displayed is no longer displayed, or no push message is displayed on the application icon, that is, the function of displaying the push message is cancelled. So as to keep the application icon clean and convenient for the user to perform other operations of the application program. Further, after any push message is not displayed, a function option is displayed in the area for canceling the push message, so that quick starting of each function of the application program is conveniently realized.

If the user can cancel the display of the push message on the application icon through the eighth input, which is equivalent to cancel the third area on the application icon, the first area is expanded to the position where the third area is located, so that the whole application icon is completely used for displaying the function options.

Specifically, a response function for triggering cancellation of the display of the push message by the eighth input is defined for the electronic device in advance, and the response function indicates that at least one cancellation rule exists. And when receiving an eighth input of the application icon by the user, matching the eighth input with a cancellation rule, and when the eighth input meets the cancellation rule, responding to the eighth input and triggering the cancellation display operation of the push message. For example, when the user slides right or left (eighth input) to a certain APP, the currently displayed push message is cancelled, and the function options are displayed at the same position until a new push message is received again, and then the new push message is displayed on the application icon. When the user slides right or left twice continuously for a certain APP within three seconds (eighth input), the subsequently received push message will not be displayed on the application icon any more. The reserved area (the area originally occupied by the push message) can be used as the second area for entering the APP home page, and certainly, the reserved area can also be used as the first area for displaying the function options.
