Detailed ways

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of this application.

The terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific sequence or sequence. It is to be understood that the data so used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application can be practiced in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, "and/or" in the description and claims means that the connected pair At least one of the symbols, the character "/", generally indicates that the contextual objects are an "or" relationship.

In the process of implementing this application, the inventor found that there are at least the following problems in related technologies: the location of the generated folder is default, which may not meet the needs of the user, and the user needs to double-check the location of the folder by dragging and dropping. This increases the user's operation and is very cumbersome for the user.

In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application propose a method and device for managing application icons. A method and device for managing application icons provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Firstly, a method for managing application icons provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for managing application icons, which may include:

Step 101. When the application icon is in the editing state, receive a user's first input on the first object and the second object, and make the first object and the second object in the selected state.

For different electronic devices, users can enter the application icon editing state in different ways. For example, for an Android phone, long press a blank space on the desktop to enter the application icon editing state; for an IOS mobile phone, long press any icon on the desktop icon, and then select the "Edit Home Screen" option in the pop-up small menu to enter the application icon editing state, and so on.

Wherein, the first object and the second object may include but not limited to at least one of the following: application icons and folder icons, and the first input may include but not limited to at least one of the following: long-press input and click input. It can be understood that, when the application icon is in the editing state, the user may click (or perform other operations) on an icon (Icon) on the desktop to select the icon. Here, since the purpose of the user entering the application icon editing state is to generate a target folder icon containing at least two icons, the user can select at least two icons on the desktop in the application icon editing state. Since the icons displayed on the desktop may be of a single application or of a folder, the icon selected by the user may be an icon of a single application (the first object) or an icon of a folder (the second object). ).

Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a desktop in an editing state of an application icon. As shown in Figure 2, when the application icon is in the editing state, a mark indicating whether the icon is selected will be displayed in the upper right corner of each icon displayed on the desktop (of course, it may not be displayed), and the mark may be a circle. If an icon is selected, a "√" will appear in the circle at the upper right corner of the icon, if an icon If an icon is not selected, the "√" sign will not appear in the circle at the upper right corner of the icon.

Further, as shown in Figure 2, a page of the desktop contains the following icons: A, B, C, folder 1, D, E, F, folder 2, G and H, wherein, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H can be regarded as icons of different single applications, and A, B, file 1, and E are icons selected by the user to be placed in the folder corresponding to the icon of the target folder to be created.

Step 102, receiving a second input from the user.

Specifically, receiving the user's second input may include: receiving the user's second input at the target position. Conversely, the target position is determined according to the second input, that is, the target position is specified by the user through the second input.

The target location may include but not limited to at least one of the following: a blank location, the location of the above-mentioned first object or the above-mentioned second object, the location of the third object, etc., wherein the blank location can be a blank location on the desktop, or It may be a blank position in the desktop folder, and the third object is an object on the desktop other than the above-mentioned first object and the above-mentioned second object, and the third object may also include at least one of the following: application icons and folder icons.

The above-mentioned second input may include but not limited to at least one of the following: long press input, draw preset graphic input, click input, and so on. Among them, the long-press input refers to a press that lasts longer than a preset time; drawing a preset graphic input may include at least one of the following: drawing a circle, drawing a rectangular frame, drawing a slash, etc., wherein drawing a slash is similar to the usual Hold down the left button of the mouse on the desktop to draw a diagonal line and draw a rectangular frame, the position covered by the rectangular frame is the target position; click input can be more than two clicks, such as double-click, triple-click wait.

When the target location is where the third object is located, it may be considered that the third object is also selected by default, that is, the folder corresponding to the generated target folder icon may also contain the third object. It is not difficult to see that this method can save the user from performing a special selection operation on the above-mentioned third object when the target folder icon containing the above-mentioned third object is generated at the position where the above-mentioned third object is located, which requires fewer operations for the user ,more convenient.

Step 103: Generate a target folder icon at the target location in response to the second input.

Wherein, the folder corresponding to the target folder icon includes the first object and the second object. It should be noted that the folder corresponding to the target folder icon is the folder indicated by the target folder icon.

In practical applications, the user can first select the first object and the second object (at least two icons), and then perform a second input at the target position, so as to generate a corresponding folder containing the first object at the target position and the target folder icon of the second object; the user can also perform the second input at the target position first, and then select the first object and the second object (at least two icons) to generate the corresponding folder icon at the target position A folder contains target folder icons for the first object and the second object.

In effect, after the target folder icon is generated at the target location, the embodiment of the present application can automatically move the first object and the second object (at least two icons) selected in step 101 to the file corresponding to the target folder icon Correspondingly, the original position of the first object and the second object will no longer display the first object and the second object. Since then, the folder containing the first object and the second object (at least two icons) has been generated, and it is generated at the target location specified by the user, which is more in line with the user's actual needs (or actual wishes), and does not require the user to It is very convenient for users to adjust the display position of the target folder icon.

According to an application icon management method provided in an embodiment of the present application, when the application icon is in the editing state, the user's first input on the first object and the second object can be received, and the first object and the second object can be The object is in the selected state; then receiving and responding to the second input of the user, generating a target folder icon corresponding to the folder at the target location including the first object and the second object, the first object, the second object The second object includes at least one of the following: an application icon and a folder icon. Compared with the method of generating folders in the prior art, the method of generating folders on the desktop provided by the embodiment of the present application can generate folders at the location specified by the user, which is easier and more convenient for users to operate, and more in line with actual needs of users.

Optionally, in order to better ensure that the above target location is indeed the location where the user wants to generate the target folder icon, so as to generate the target folder icon according to the user's real needs, the above step 103 may specifically include: responding to the second Input, generate a target folder icon at the target position, and display the target folder icon in the first preset mode at the target position; if the preset condition is met, display the target folder icon at the target position in a second preset way to display the target folder icon.

Further, when the target folder icon is displayed in the second preset manner, the folder corresponding to the target folder icon contains the first object and the second object, and the The original positions of the first object and the second object no longer display the first object and the second object. the second object. That is, when the generation location of the target file is confirmed, the first object and the second object are moved to the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, which can make the position where the target folder icon is located It is more in line with the actual needs of the user, thereby avoiding the user's secondary adjustment of the display position of the icon of the target file.

The first preset display mode above indicates that the user has not fully confirmed that the target location is the location for generating the target folder icon, and the second preset display mode above indicates that the user has confirmed that the target location is the location for generating the target folder icon. The latter are two different display methods.

For example, the first preset display mode may be a gray or blurred and transparent display mode (or other display modes), and the second default display mode is a normal display mode of icons on the desktop (that is, Entity icons are shown). As shown in FIG. 2 , at the beginning of generation of the target folder icon 11 , the target folder icon 11 may be displayed in a transparent and blurred manner.

The aforementioned preset conditions may include but not limited to at least one of the following: the duration of the target folder icon being displayed in the first preset manner exceeds the preset duration; A preset operation of the target file, such as a click operation. In addition, it should be noted that the above preset conditions can be expanded and changed according to different situations, and are not limited to the above two. Default or recognized, if yes, the preset condition is satisfied.

A method for managing application icons provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described below through three examples.

first example

As shown in Figure 2, when the application icon is in the editing state, if the user selects the four icons of A, B, file 1 and E, there will be a blank position behind the icon (one part of the target position) in the current page of the desktop. type) long-press input (a type of second input), then a target folder icon 11 is generated at the blank position, and at the beginning of generation, the target folder icon 11 is displayed in a transparent blurred manner at the target position.

Further, when the user's long press time on the target location exceeds a preset duration (such as 1s, one of the preset conditions), the target folder icon displayed in a transparent blurred manner is displayed in the form of a solid icon.

Further, after the target folder icon 11 is completely generated, click on the target file in Fig. 2 Folder icon 11, you can open the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11, the opened folder is shown in Figure 3, it can be seen that the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11 contains A, B, folder 1 and E are four icons previously selected by the user.

second example

As shown in Figure 4, when the application icon is in the editing state, if the user selects the three icons of A, B and file 1, and performs a long press input (second input) at the position of B (one of the target positions). ), then the target folder icon is generated at the location of B, and at the beginning of generation, the target folder icon is displayed in a transparent blurred manner at the target location.

Further, when the user's long press time on the target location exceeds a preset duration (for example, 1 second), the target folder icon displayed in a transparent blurred manner is displayed in the form of a solid icon.

Further, after the target folder icon is completely generated, click the target folder icon in Figure 4 to open the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, and the opened folder is indicated by reference numeral 11 in Figure 4 It can be seen that the folder corresponding to the target folder icon contains three icons previously selected by the user, A, B and folder 1.

It should be noted that, in FIG. 4 , the dotted-line box and the dotted-line arrow 12 indicated by the reference numeral 11 are only for illustrating the icons contained in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon generated at the location of B. In , when the target folder icon is generated at the location of B and after the target folder icon is generated, generally the dotted line frame and the dotted line arrow 12 indicated by the reference numeral 11 will not be displayed, and of course the display is not excluded.

third example

As shown in Figure 5, when the application icon is in the editing state, if the user selects the three icons of A, B and file 1, there will be a blank position 13 behind the icons (a kind of target position) in the current page of the desktop. ) to draw a slash (a type of the second input), the target folder icon is generated in the blank position, and at the beginning of generation, the target position is displayed in a transparent blurred manner.

Further, when the target folder icon is displayed in a transparent and blurred manner for more than a preset duration (for example, 1 second), the target folder icon displayed in a transparent and blurred manner is displayed in the form of a solid icon.

Further, after the target folder icon is completely generated, click the target folder icon in Figure 5 to open the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, and the opened folder is shown in Figure 5 As indicated by the dotted line box indicated by reference numeral 11, it can be seen that the folder corresponding to the target folder icon includes three icons previously selected by the user, A, B and Folder 1.

It should be noted that, in FIG. 5 , the dashed-line box and the dashed-line arrow 14 indicated by reference numeral 11 are only for illustrating the icons contained in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon generated at the location of B. In , when the target folder icon is generated at the location of B and after the target folder icon is generated, generally the dotted line frame and the dotted line arrow 14 indicated by the reference numeral 11 will not be displayed, and of course the display is not excluded.

It should be noted that in practical applications, the user can flexibly select the target location where the icon of the target folder is to be generated according to their own needs, and flexibly set the specific method of the second input, without being limited to the above three examples. way of listing.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 6 , a method for managing application icons provided by another embodiment of the present application includes the above steps 101, 102, and 103, and the method may further include:

Step 104 , if the folder corresponding to the target folder icon includes the first folder icon, receive a third input from the user on the first folder icon.

Wherein, the third input may include but not limited to at least one of the following: click input, long press input. The first folder icon may be any folder icon included in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon.

Step 105. In response to the third input, cancel the display of the first folder icon, and display the application icon in the first folder icon in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon.

For example, as shown in Figure 2, in response to the user's operation of opening the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11, the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11 is opened, and the opened folder is as shown in Figure 3; then Figure 3 As shown, in response to the user’s long press input on the icon (first folder icon) of folder 1 in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11, the folder 1 in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11 will be disband the icon in , and move the disbanded icon to the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11, as shown in Figure 7, at this time, the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11 not only contains the original icons A, B and C, also contains three icons dissolved from folder 1: 1-APP1, 1-APP2 and 1-APP3, but does not contain the icon of folder 1, the icon of folder 1 dissolves with its internal icons Instead, cancel the display.

Through the embodiment shown in Figure 6, not only can the target folder icon be generated at the location specified by the user, but also the folder nested in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon can be disbanded, and the icon in the disbanded folder Place it in the folder corresponding to the icon of the target folder (upper-level folder of the disbanded folder), so as to reduce the user's operation of searching for related icons, so that the user can find related icons more quickly.

It should be noted that nested folders within folders may include but not limited to one level of nesting, or more than one level of nesting. That is, for the above example, the icons dismantled from folder 1 may also include folder icons.

Compared with disbanding nested folders, nested folders can also be generated to meet the user's personalized management needs for desktop icons. Specifically, in the case that the folder corresponding to the target folder icon includes the first application icon and the second application icon, a fourth input from the user is received; in response to the fourth input, in the target folder A second folder icon is generated in the folder corresponding to the icon, and the folder corresponding to the second folder icon includes the first application icon and the second application icon, wherein the fourth input may be in The input performed at a specified location in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, the fourth input may include but not limited to at least one of the following: long press input, draw preset graphic input, and click input. Generally speaking, in response to a selection operation on at least two icons (the first application icon and the second application icon) in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, at least two icons are selected, and then in response to The user generates a new folder at a specified location in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, generates a new folder at the specified location, and moves the at least two icons to the new folder , so as to generate a new folder containing the at least two icons in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, that is, generate a nested folder.
