At present, electronic devices such as computer equipment and mobile terminals in the market have stronger and stronger performance, and application programs are more and more abundant. In practical applications, more and more programs are installed in electronic devices by users. The desktop is used as a platform for bearing application programs built in the system and installed by a user, and is used for bearing the display of all programs and basic interaction with the user (including starting and uninstalling of the programs, dragging of program icons and the like). Therefore, the desktop needs to maintain efficient and clear principles for all application icon layouts, so that a user can quickly locate, use and manage the application. And when the desktop management system lays out the application icons, all the application icons are generally tiled on the desktop, so that the application is inconvenient to search.
In the conventional technology, generally, the icons corresponding to the application programs of the same class are classified according to the types of the application programs, and the icons of the application programs of the same class are placed in the same folder, so that the layout of the desktop application program icons is realized. Such as: the file system comprises a tool type file folder, an entertainment and leisure type file folder, a daily life type file folder, a photographing type file folder, a financing and office type file folder, a game type file folder, a communication type file folder, a social type file folder and the like. In the desktop initialization process, the name of each application program is obtained, the name is searched in a program information database of the desktop program, the type of the application program is judged, then classification is carried out, and the application program icon is placed in a corresponding classification folder on the desktop.
The automatic classification algorithm is carried out on the programs according to the types of the programs, so that the cost of searching the programs by a user can be reduced in certain programs, but the automatic classification of the programs is inaccurate, the new programs cannot be effectively classified, or the types of the existing programs are not accurately judged, so that the programs are classified wrongly, and the searching cost of the user is increased on the contrary. In addition, different users have different understandings on the classification of the program, and for a piece of software containing a plurality of functions, different users are likely to have different understandings on the classification of the software according to different using functions of the software, so that the application program cannot be effectively searched. Therefore, the layout by creating different categories of folders can lead to inefficient desktop application lookups due to classification errors and different user comprehensions.

Detailed Description
The following describes embodiments of the desktop application icon layout method and system in detail.
As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of a method for laying out icons of a desktop application, including the following steps:
step S101: creating a first icon display area and a second icon display area on a desktop;
the desktop may be a desktop of a Personal Computer (PC), or a desktop of a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone and a tablet computer. A first icon display area and a second icon display area may be created on the desktop, with the primary purpose of defining the display location of the application icons. The creating method can be various, for example, the desktop is directly divided into areas, the upper half part of the desktop is divided into a first icon display area, and the lower right corner of the desktop is divided into a second icon display area. How to divide and create can be designed according to the user habit.
Step S102: acquiring a recommended application program, and displaying an application program icon of the recommended application program in the first icon display area;
for the method of obtaining the recommended application, the application most recently used by the user may be obtained from an application manager of the system. In all applications installed by a user, the number of commonly used software is only about 10 according to statistical data display, so that the commonly used applications can be directly displayed on a desktop, and the user can conveniently and quickly start and use the applications. When the applications commonly used by the user are obtained, the applications recently used by the user can be obtained on the android through a getriencemanager interface provided by an application manager of the system. Therefore, when the desktop is initialized, the acquired latest application program information is cached in the content for the desktop to be initialized and used.
In one embodiment, the step of determining the recommended application according to the usage time of the application, that is, obtaining the recommended application, may also include:
the method comprises the steps of obtaining the service time of application programs installed in the system, sequencing the application programs according to the service time, and determining recommended application programs according to the sequencing.
After the usage times are sorted, the usage times may be compared to a time threshold, and a recommended application may be obtained from applications greater than the time threshold. In this embodiment, the use time of the application installed in the system is obtained, and the application corresponding to the use time greater than the time threshold is selected, which may be referred to as a most recently used application. The time threshold may be set as desired. Of course, the applications may be sorted in descending order according to the time of use, and the top N applications may be selected as recommended applications.
In one embodiment, the recommended application may also be determined according to the frequency of use of the application over a certain period of time. Namely, the step of obtaining the recommended application program comprises the following steps:
acquiring the use frequency of the application program installed in the system, and determining the recommended application program according to the use frequency.
As for the method of determining the recommended applications according to the usage frequency, the usage frequency may be sorted to obtain the recommended applications.
In one embodiment, the recommended applications may be obtained according to the application use frequency and the application use time at the same time, and the first icon display area may be divided into two display areas, and the recommended applications obtained according to the use frequency and the recommended applications obtained according to the use time may be displayed separately. Namely, step S102 includes:
dividing the first icon display area into a first display area and a second display area;
acquiring the use frequency of an application program installed in a system, determining a recommended application program according to the use frequency, and displaying an application program icon of the recommended application program in a first display area;
the method comprises the steps of obtaining the service time of application programs installed in the system, sequencing the application programs according to the service time, determining recommended application programs according to the sequencing, and displaying application program icons of the recommended application programs in a second display area.
A first type of recommended application (e.g., a frequently used application) may be obtained by using the frequency, and a second type of recommended application (e.g., a recently used application) may be obtained by using the time. And then the common application program and the application program which is recently used are placed in different areas to be displayed, so that the common application program and the application program which is recently used are distinguished, a user can conveniently search the application program, and the user experience is further improved. After the application program used recently is obtained, the data can be stored for program adjustment and optimization in common use.
In one embodiment, acquiring the use frequency of the application installed in the system, and determining the recommended application according to the use frequency includes:
acquiring attribute information of application programs installed in a system, and classifying the application programs according to application types according to the attribute information;
sorting each type of application program in a descending order according to the use frequency of the application program;
and selecting a plurality of application programs with each type of application program ranked at the top as recommended application programs.
The embodiment may classify the applications installed in the system according to their attribute information, for example, according to the functions of their applications. And the application programs in each type are sorted in a descending order according to the use frequency, and then each type of application program can recommend a plurality of application programs sorted in the front, so that various types of application programs are directly displayed in the first icon display area, and a user can conveniently check the application programs of various types. Further, if the use frequency of the application programs ranked in the front in a certain type is smaller than the preset frequency threshold, the application programs of the certain type can be directly omitted, that is, the application programs of the certain type are not displayed, and the display space of the first icon display area can be saved to a certain extent.
Further, on the basis of the embodiment, the layout mode of the recommended application program can be further defined. Namely, the step of displaying the application program icon of the recommended application program in the first icon display area comprises the following steps:
presetting a display area corresponding to each type of application program icon in a first icon display area; and displaying the application program icon of the recommended application program in a display area according to the corresponding type.
The first icon display area may be divided in the display, one display area for each type. The method comprises the steps of obtaining the name of an application program installed in a system, classifying the application program according to the application program type according to the name, and then classifying the obtained recommended application program into a good type. The application icon of the recommended application may be displayed in the display area according to the type corresponding to the application icon. The ranking order of the application icons of each category may be by frequency. In this way, the specific position of each type of application icon in the desktop is defined. For example, two per application type selection, the icons of the two applications of the social class may be placed in the first two positions of the first row, the two application icons of the tool class may be placed in the last two positions, and so on. Therefore, the user can be relatively familiar with the position of each type of application program, and the efficiency of viewing the application program by the user is improved.
Similarly, the position relationship of the recently used application on the desktop can also be defined, that is:
acquiring attribute information of application programs installed in a system, and classifying the application programs according to application types according to the attribute information;
sorting each type of application program in a descending order according to the use time of the application program;
selecting a plurality of application programs with each type of application program ranked in the front as recommended application programs;
presetting a display area corresponding to each type of application program icon in a first icon display area;
and displaying the application program icon of the recommended application program in a display area according to the corresponding type.
In one embodiment, the step of acquiring the recommended application and displaying the application icon of the recommended application in the first icon display area includes:
sending the use frequency of the application program to a cloud end; downloading a recommendation list of desktop layout from a cloud, wherein the recommendation list is used for recording a layout template of the application program icons to be recommended, which is obtained by performing cluster analysis according to the use frequency; finding out the application programs existing in the recommendation list from the application programs installed in the system, and setting the application programs as the recommended application programs; and displaying the application program icons of the recommended application programs in the first icon display area according to the layout template.
The recommendation list may be a list obtained by performing cluster analysis according to the use frequency, and the program to be recommended and the layout template of the application program to be recommended are recorded on the recommendation list. Which application icons are to be displayed in the first icon display area and the specific display positions of these application icons may be specific according to the recommendation list.
Further, the recommendation list may be issued by the cloud. And the user can modify the recommendation list at the cloud. After the desktop is installed, a recommendation list is immediately pulled from the cloud.
Step S103: and acquiring the non-recommended application program, converging the application program icons of the non-recommended application program in the folder, and displaying the folder in the second icon display area.
The obtaining of the non-recommended application program may be deleting the recommended application program from all the installed application programs, that is, obtaining the non-recommended application program. Of course, the non-recommended applications may not be completely aggregated in the folder, for example, some application users may not use the non-recommended applications at all, and may not be aggregated in the folder.
In the step, the recommended application programs are directly displayed in the first icon display area, and some application programs which are not recommended are placed in the folder. Therefore, the whole desktop is simpler, in addition, recommended application programs are relatively few, a user can search on the desktop very quickly when searching for the application, if the user does not find the application, the user can naturally search in the folder, the thinking time of the user is shortened, and the searching efficiency is improved.
In one embodiment, if the recommended application is determined according to the recommendation list, after step S103, the method further includes the steps of:
obtaining the layout of application program icons on a desktop;
acquiring the service time of application programs installed in a system, sequencing the application programs according to the service time, and determining the application program which is used recently according to the sequencing;
and comparing the layout of the application program icons with the application program which is used recently, judging whether the recommendation list is effective or not, and modifying the recommendation list according to the judgment result.
In the embodiment, the finally completed desktop layout and the recently used program data are analyzed, and whether the issued recommended application program list is valid or not and whether dynamic adjustment is needed or not is judged, for example, each classification alternative in the recommended application program list and the sequence of the alternative applications are modified.
In one embodiment, in order to quickly find the corresponding program icon in the folder, a quick query control is added. Namely, after step S103, the method further includes the steps of:
acquiring the name of an application program icon in a folder; and sequencing the application program icons according to the first letters of the names of the application program icons, and establishing an initial index of the names of the application program icons.
The name of the application icon can be a Chinese name or an English name, and is set according to specific requirements. After the application icons in the folder are sorted according to the initials of the names of the application icons, an initial index of the names of the application icons is established. For example, a program name initial index may be added to the right side of the folder. When the name is a Chinese name, the first letter index is a pinyin first letter index. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an interface after a folder is opened according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Further, when a letter in the initial index is triggered, the application icon or the name of the application icon beginning with the letter is highlighted.
When the user clicks the letter in the pinyin index, the corresponding program is automatically positioned, and after the user clicks the letter, the program names or icons of all programs starting with the letter are highlighted. It may also be set that the highlight disappears after a preset time. For example, the program automatically disappears after 3 seconds, thereby facilitating the user to find and use the program more quickly.
In a specific example, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps:
step S201: creating a first display area, a second display area and a third display area on the desktop;
step S202: acquiring the use time of application programs installed by a system, and sequencing the use time to obtain a first recommended application program (namely the application program used recently);
step S203: acquiring the use frequency of application programs installed in the system, and determining a second recommended application program (namely a common application program) according to the use frequency;
commonly used applications are typically basic tool classes (e.g., calculator, calendar, settings, etc.) and software that is used relatively frequently by each user (e.g., QQ, WeChat, music). Because the software may have the condition of incorrect filtering, the logic of cloud data sending is added into the desktop, after the desktop is installed, classification data of a program can be immediately pulled from the cloud, and if the classification data cannot be pulled, the data packaged in the desktop program is used by default. This classification data or internal data includes information for common applications that need to be displayed on the desktop: 1. the program category type that each position of the desktop should display, such as the first row and the first column of the first screen, displays album class 2, and the alternative programs (usually 2) in each class determined according to the size of the use frequency.
The classification of the application program can be completed by clustering analysis at the server, and is mainly classified according to the package name of the application program, and is generally divided into: chat, social, life, tools, maps, etc. Each type is displayed in the first display area of the desktop, and recommended applications in each type can be dynamically adjusted on the server side. Such as: the currently recommended chat classes are placed in the first and second grid, and social contact is placed in the third and fourth grid. Wherein, the chat class firstly recommends QQ \ WeChat \ Feixin \ Credit.
Step S204: the application icon of the first recommended application is displayed in the first display area 410, and the application icon of the second recommended application is displayed in the second display area 420, as shown in fig. 4, which is a schematic diagram of a desktop layout in a specific application example of the present invention.
When the desktop is initialized, the alternative programs which should be displayed at each position are firstly taken from the data in turn. Then, the corresponding position of the desktop is directly added after the corresponding position is found by searching in the recently used program. If not, each position alternative program is sequentially searched in the system to judge whether the system is provided with the program, and if so, the program is directly added to the corresponding position. And then continue with the search for the next location application. If not, the next empty slot is automatically removed and the next program icon is automatically moved forward. The server may issue in xml format.
After desktop addition is performed on the common application, the remaining recently used programs are sequentially added to the desktop. And simultaneously reporting the desktop layout after the adding is completed to the background. And the background analyzes according to the last desktop layout data and the reported recently-used program data, and judges whether the issued frequently-used application data is valid or not and whether dynamic adjustment is needed or not, such as sorting of each classified alternative application and the alternative applications in the frequently-used applications.
Step S205: deleting the first recommended application program and the second recommended application program from all the installed programs to obtain a third application program, converging application program icons corresponding to the third application program in a folder, and displaying the folder in a third display area 430, as shown in fig. 4.
The first recommended application, the second recommended application, and the third application herein do not refer to three applications, but three types of applications.
When the desktop is initialized, all application programs installed in the system are filtered according to the data of the common applications and the recently used application programs acquired from the cloud, the common applications and the recently used application programs are directly displayed on the desktop, and the rest filtered application programs are not common applications and are all classified into one type and displayed on the desktop in a folder mode. After the user opens the folder, the user can use the uncommon application or directly drag the uncommon application to the desktop for use.
Step S206: acquiring the name of an application program icon in a folder; and sequencing the application program icons according to the first letters of the names of the application program icons, and establishing an initial index of the names of the application program icons.
As shown in fig. 2, the program names of the application programs are sorted in the folder according to the sequence of the pinyin letters of the program names of the application programs, meanwhile, the pinyin index of the first letter of the program names is added on the right side of the folder, when a user clicks the letter in the pinyin index, the corresponding program is automatically located, after the user clicks the pinyin index, the icons of all the programs starting with the letter or the names of the application program icons are highlighted, and the icons disappear automatically after 3 seconds, so that the user can find and use the programs more quickly.
Through the specific application example scheme, the whole desktop can be simpler, and the program classification is clearer. By introducing and reporting the recently used programs, the classification data of the common applications is more accurate, and the initialization result of the desktop program is more in line with the use habit of the user.
Based on the method for desktop application icon layout, the present invention further provides a desktop application icon layout system, as shown in fig. 5, which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the desktop application icon layout system of the present invention, and includes a display area creating module 510, a recommended application layout module 520, and a non-recommended application layout module 530.

for the method of obtaining the recommended application, the application most recently used by the user may be obtained from an application manager of the system. In all applications installed by a user, the common software is displayed according to statistical data, and only about 10 common software are displayed, so that the common references can be directly displayed on a desktop, and the user can conveniently and quickly start and use the common references. When the applications commonly used by the user are obtained, the applications recently used by the user can be obtained on the android through a getriencemanager interface provided by an application manager of the system. Therefore, when the desktop is initialized, the acquired latest application program information is cached in the content for the desktop to be initialized and used.

Then, the corresponding position of the desktop is directly added after the corresponding position is found by searching in the recently used program. If not, each position alternative program is sequentially searched in the system to judge whether the system is provided with the program, and if so, the program is directly added to the corresponding position. And then continue with the search for the next location application. If not, the next empty slot is automatically removed and the next program icon is automatically moved forward. The server may issue in xml format.
After desktop addition is performed on the common application, the remaining recently used programs are sequentially added to the desktop. And simultaneously reporting the desktop layout after the adding is completed to the background. And the background analyzes according to the last desktop layout data and the reported recently-used program data, and judges whether the issued frequently-used application data is valid or not and whether dynamic adjustment is needed or not, such as sorting of each classified alternative application and the alternative applications in the frequently-used applications.
The non-recommended application layout module 650 is configured to delete the first recommended application program and the second recommended application program from all installed programs, obtain a third application program, aggregate application program icons corresponding to the third application program in a folder, and display the folder in the third display area 430, as shown in fig. 4.
The first recommended application, the second recommended application, and the third application herein do not refer to three applications, but three types of applications.
When the desktop is initialized, all application programs installed in the system are filtered according to the data of the common applications and the recently used application programs acquired from the cloud, the common applications and the recently used application programs are directly displayed on the desktop, and the rest filtered application programs are not common applications and are all classified into one type and displayed on the desktop in a folder mode. After the user opens the folder, the user can use the uncommon application or directly drag the uncommon application to the desktop for use.
An index creation module 660, configured to obtain names of application icons in the folder; and sequencing the application program icons according to the first letters of the names of the application program icons, and establishing an initial index of the names of the application program icons.
As shown in fig. 2, the program names of the application programs are sorted in the folder according to the sequence of the pinyin letters of the program names of the application programs, meanwhile, the pinyin index of the first letter of the program names is added on the right side of the folder, when a user clicks the letter in the pinyin index, the corresponding program is automatically located, after the user clicks the pinyin index, the icons of all the programs starting with the letter or the names of the application program icons are highlighted, and the icons disappear automatically after 3 seconds, so that the user can find and use the programs more quickly.
Through the specific application example scheme, the whole desktop can be simpler, and the program classification is clearer. By introducing and reporting the recently used programs, the classification data of the common applications is more accurate, and the initialization result of the desktop program is more in line with the use habit of the user.
