As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an application startup method, where the method specifically includes the following steps:

Step 101: Combine the application icons of the at least two target applications to generate a target application icon corresponding to the at least two target applications.

The target application is one of a system-owned application and a downloaded application in the mobile terminal, and the application icon is an application startup and operation portal, and the application icons of the multiple target applications are combined to generate a target application icon, that is, multiple The target application shares a target application icon, which is a common launch and operation portal for multiple target applications.

Step 102: When the application is launched by the target application icon, each target application corresponding to the target application icon is started, and an application interface of each target application is displayed.

Since the target application icon is a common launch and operation portal of the plurality of target applications, each target application corresponding to the target application icon is launched when the application is launched by the target application icon. The mobile terminal can set a preset display mode of the plurality of target applications at the same time, and when the application is launched by the target application icon, the application interface of each target application is displayed according to the preset display manner.

Specifically, step 101 can be implemented in different ways:

Fit mode 1. Trigger application fit by gesture operation

And acquiring, by the first touch operation, the application icons of the at least two target applications are combined to generate a target application icon corresponding to the at least two target applications.

Taking the dragging as an example, when the first touch operation is a drag operation, the step of merging the application icons of the at least two target applications according to the first touch operation includes: if the drag operation causes at least two target applications If the distance of the application icon is less than the first preset distance, the application icons of at least two target applications are merged. In other words, the drag operation on the application icon of the at least two target applications is acquired, and if the drag operation is used to bring the application icons of the at least two target applications close to each other, the application icons of the at least two target applications are merged, A target application icon corresponding to at least two target applications is generated. As shown in FIG. 2, the application icons that need to be combined are selected at the same time, such as application A and application B, and the icons of application A and the icons of application B are dragged to be close to each other, and the merge operation is triggered when the two application icons overlap. A target application icon corresponding to the application A and the application B is generated.

Or, in the case of the re-pressing operation, when the first touch operation is a re-press operation, the step of merging the application icons of the at least two target applications according to the first touch operation includes: if at least two target applications are acquired The re-press on the app icon merges the app icons of at least two target apps. Similarly, the long press operation is similar to the re-press operation, so it will not be described here.

Fit mode 2, trigger the application fit by calling the fit function

Obtaining a second touch operation for triggering the application fit function; displaying, according to the second touch operation, a list of application icons of the candidate application supporting the application fit function; and applying the selected at least two target applications in the application icon list of the candidate application The icons are merged to generate a target application icon corresponding to the at least two target applications. The target application is one of the candidate applications. Specifically, the application integration function may be added to the system setting of the mobile terminal. When multiple applications need to be merged, the application combination function is called by the second touch operation to perform the combination, and the second touch operation may be a click operation. As shown in Figure 3, click the system setting icon to enter the system setting menu. The system setting menu includes the application fit setting item and other function setting items. Click the application fit setting item to call up the next level menu of the application fit setting item. The level menu is configured to display a first application icon list including application icons supporting the candidate candidate application, and the user may select an application icon of at least two target applications (such as application 4 and application 5) in the first application icon list. Merge, generate target application icons corresponding to application 4 and application 5, and prompt the merge to succeed.

Further, after step 101, the method further includes splitting the target application icon, and the specific splitting may also be implemented in two ways:

Split method 1. Trigger application splitting by gesture operation

Specifically, the step of splitting the target application icon includes: acquiring a drag operation on the target application icon; if the drag operation causes the distance between the at least one application icon and the target application icon in the target application icon to be greater than the second preset distance , separating at least one app icon from the target app icon. In other words, the drag operation on the target application icon is obtained, and if the drag operation is used to move the application icon of the target application on the target application icon away from the target application icon, the application icon of the target application is separated from the target application icon. . If the target application icon only contains the application icons of the two target applications, when the target application icon needs to be split, the target application icon is selected to be dragged in different directions, and the target application corresponding to the target application icon is split to form a target application. The icon corresponding to each target application. Alternatively, if the application icon of one target application is dragged away from the target application icon, the two target applications are split to form an icon corresponding to each target application.

Split mode 2, trigger application split by calling the fit function

Specifically, the step of splitting the target application icon includes: acquiring a third touch operation that invokes the application split function; and, according to the third touch operation, calling up the second application icon including the target application corresponding to the target application icon The application icon list; the selected application icon in the second application icon list is separated from the target application icon. Specifically, an application splitting function (or a separate application function) may be added to a system setting of the mobile terminal, and when the application needs to be split, the application splitting function is called by the third touch operation to perform separation, and the third touch The control operation can be a click operation. As shown in Figure 5, click the system setting icon to enter the system setting menu. The system setting menu includes separate application setting items and other function setting items. Click the separate application setting item to call up the next level menu, which is used to display a second application icon list including an application icon supporting the split target application, the user may select an application icon of at least one target application (such as WeChat) in the second application icon list to separate, and use the WeChat application icon from the target Separated from the application icon, WeChat is separated from the fit application.

Further, after the step 101, the target application icon is further named, and the specific naming manner may be that the single words in the application names of the plurality of target applications are respectively combined and named, for example, when the WeChat and the QQ are combined, the target application icon is The name is "micro-Q". In addition, the user-entered custom name may also be used as the name of the target application icon. The specific implementation may refer to the following manner: displaying a dialog box for inputting a custom name of the target application icon; determining the name entered in the dialog box as the target The name of the app icon.

If the user is dissatisfied with the default name or custom name of the target application icon and wants to change the name of the target application icon, the process of changing the name of the target application icon may also be triggered, specifically, the fourth touch on the target application icon is obtained. Control operation; according to the fourth touch operation, a dialog box for changing the name of the target application icon is displayed; the name entered in the dialog box is updated to the new name of the target application icon. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the application fit setting item, there is a setting item for changing the application name in the setting menu.

In addition, the step of how to generate the target application icon in step 101 may be implemented by: when merging the application icons of the at least two target applications, narrowing the application icons of the respective target applications according to the number of the target applications; and reducing the applied applications; The icons are combined to generate a target application icon. As shown in Fig. 6, when WeChat and QQ are combined, the application icons of WeChat and QQ are reduced to 1/2 of the original, and the reduced application icons are combined to form the style shown in the figure. In addition, the manner of the user-defined icon may also be adopted, which specifically includes: when merging the application icons of the at least two target applications, calling up the icon list including the candidate application icons; determining the selected icon in the icon list as corresponding to Target application icon for at least two target apps.

If the user is dissatisfied with the default or customized target application icon and wants to change the target application icon, the process of changing the target application icon may also be triggered, specifically, the fifth touch operation on the target application icon; The five touch operation displays a function interface for changing the target application icon; updating the icon selected in the function interface to the new target application icon. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the setting item of the application setting item, the change of the application name, and the setting item of the change icon, there are setting items in the setting menu.

Further, the target application icon serves as a common startup entry of the plurality of target applications. After the plurality of target applications are launched through the public startup portal, how to display the respective target applications may be displayed according to a preset display manner. Specifically, the preset display manner includes: split screen display and page display. Specifically, the user can invoke a setting menu corresponding to the target application icon by using a touch operation, such as long-pressing an application, double-clicking an application, re-pressing an application, etc., as shown in FIG. 7 , except that the setting menu has an application fit setting item. In addition to the setting item of the application name and the setting item of the change icon, there is also a display mode setting item that is opened by the application, and the next level menu after clicking the expansion mode setting item includes two options of split screen display and page display. The following embodiments will further illustrate different display modes in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Display mode 1, the preset display mode is split screen display

Step 102 includes: if the number of target applications is M, the display area is divided into M display sub-areas; and the M display sub-areas respectively display application interfaces of each target application; wherein M is a positive integer, one The display sub-area displays the application interface of a target application. Assuming that the number of target applications is two, the display area is divided into two display sub-areas. As shown in FIG. 8, the target application is WeChat and QQ, and the display sub-area on the left side displays the application interface of WeChat, on the right side. The display sub-area displays the application interface of QQ. It is worth mentioning that an area adjustment bar is disposed between adjacent display sub-areas in the M display sub-areas, and the size of the display sub-area corresponding to the area adjustment bar is adjusted by dragging the area adjustment bar. Specifically, an adjustment bar is disposed on a common frame between adjacent display sub-areas for adjusting an edge position of the display sub-area, thereby adjusting a size of the display sub-area. As shown in FIG. 8, the square adjustment bar between the two display sub-areas, when the adjustment bar is dragged to the left, the left display sub-area becomes smaller, and accordingly the right side display sub-area becomes larger.

In an optional embodiment, if the number of the target applications is M, the step of dividing the display area into the M display sub-areas further includes: adjusting the target application icon according to the display ratio of the M display sub-areas The corresponding application icon scale for each target app. Assume that when the user adjusts the split screen effect of multiple applications, if the target application icon user has not been set, the corresponding target application icon will also change accordingly. For example, when the display area ratio of WeChat and QQ is adjusted to 2:1, the image ratio of WeChat and QQ in the target application icon will also become 2:1.

Display mode 2, the preset display mode is page display

Step 102 includes: if the number of the target applications is M, respectively, displaying the application interfaces of the respective target applications through the M display pages; wherein, M is a positive integer, and one display page displays an application interface of the target application. Assuming that the number of target applications is five, the display interface is divided into five full-screen display pages. As shown in FIG. 9, the target application includes WeChat and QQ, and five target application options are set at the bottom of the display interface ( The left one is WeChat and the second one is QQ). Which target application option is selected, such as the WeChat option, the WeChat application interface is displayed on the display interface. It is worth noting that the edge of the display interface is provided with paging tabs of M display pages, and each paging label corresponds to an application interface, and the user can switch the application interface corresponding to different combination applications in the combined application by selecting the paging label. To achieve the effect of managing multiple applications. After each exit of the fit application, the last displayed application interface will be the initial interface after the next launch of the fit application.
