Fig. 1 illustrates the mobile terminal 100 having various components, but it is to be understood that not all illustrated components are required to be implemented. More or fewer components may alternatively be implemented. The elements of the mobile terminal 100 will be described in detail below.

The wireless communication unit 110 typically includes one or more components that allow radio communication between the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless communication system or network. For example, the wireless communication unit 110 may include at least one of a broadcast receiving module 111, a mobile communication module 112, a wireless internet module 113, a short-range communication module 114, and a location information module 115.

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information from an external broadcast management server via a broadcast channel. The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel and/or a terrestrial channel. The broadcast management server may be a server that generates and transmits a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information or a server that receives a previously generated broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information and transmits it to a terminal. The broadcast signal may include a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal, a data broadcast signal, and the like. Also, the broadcast signal may further include a broadcast signal combined with a TV or radio broadcast signal. The broadcast associated information may also be provided via a mobile communication network, and in this case, the broadcast associated information may be received by the mobile communication module 112. The broadcast signal may exist in various forms, for example, it may be in an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), digital videoA broadcast handheld (DVB-H) Electronic Service Guide (ESG) or the like. The broadcast receiving module 111 may receive a signal broadcast by using various types of broadcasting systems. In particular, the broadcast receiving module 111 may receive a broadcast signal by using a signal such as multimedia broadcasting-terrestrial (DMB-T), digital multimedia broadcasting-satellite (DMB-S), digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), forward link media (MediaFLO)^@) A digital broadcasting system of a terrestrial digital broadcasting integrated service (ISDB-T), etc. receives digital broadcasting. The broadcast receiving module 111 may be constructed to be suitable for various broadcasting systems that provide broadcast signals as well as the above-mentioned digital broadcasting systems. The broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information received via the broadcast receiving module 111 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other type of storage medium).

According to the current technology, the GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites and applies triangulation to the calculated information, thereby accurately calculating three-dimensional current location information according to longitude, latitude, and altitude. Currently, a method for calculating position and time information uses three satellites and corrects an error of the calculated position and time information by using another satellite. In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating current position information in real time.

The a/V input unit 120 is used to receive an audio or video signal. The a/V input unit 120 may include a camera 121 and a microphone 122, and the camera 121 processes image data of still pictures or video obtained by an image capturing apparatus in a video capturing mode or an image capturing mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 151. The image frames processed by the cameras 121 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the wireless communication unit 110, and two or more cameras 121 may be provided according to the construction of the mobile terminal 100. The microphone 122 may receive sounds (audio data) via the microphone in a phone call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, or the like, and can process such sounds into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format output transmittable to a mobile communication base station via the mobile communication module 112 in case of a phone call mode. The microphone 122 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to cancel (or suppress) noise or interference generated in the course of receiving and transmitting audio signals.

The user input unit 130 may generate key input data to control various operations of the mobile terminal 100 according to a command input by a user. The user input unit 130 allows a user to input various types of information, and may include a keyboard, dome sheet, touch pad (e.g., a touch-sensitive member that detects changes in resistance, pressure, capacitance, and the like due to being touched), scroll wheel, joystick, and the like. In particular, when the touch pad is superimposed on the display unit 151 in the form of a layer, a touch screen may be formed.

The sensing unit 140 detects a current state of the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., an open or closed state of the mobile terminal 100), a position of the mobile terminal 100, presence or absence of contact (i.e., touch input) by a user with the mobile terminal 100, an orientation of the mobile terminal 100, acceleration or deceleration movement and direction of the mobile terminal 100, and the like, and generates a command or signal for controlling an operation of the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is implemented as a slide-type mobile phone, the sensing unit 140 may sense whether the slide-type phone is opened or closed. In addition, the sensing unit 140 can detect whether the power supply unit 190 supplies power or whether the interface unit 170 is coupled with an external device.

The interface unit 170 serves as an interface through which at least one external device is connected to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the external device may include a wired or wireless headset port, an external power supply (or battery charger) port, a wired or wireless data port, a memory card port (a typical example is a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port), a port for connecting a device having an identification module, an audio input/output (I/O) port, a video I/O port, an earphone port, and the like. The identification module may store various information for authenticating a user using the mobile terminal 100 and may include a User Identity Module (UIM), a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), and the like. In addition, a device having an identification module (hereinafter, referred to as an "identification device") may take the form of a smart card, and thus, the identification device may be connected with the mobile terminal 100 via a port or other connection means.

The interface unit 170 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal 100 and the external device.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external cradle, the interface unit 170 may serve as a path through which power is supplied from the cradle to the mobile terminal 100 or may serve as a path through which various command signals input from the cradle are transmitted to the mobile terminal 100. Various command signals or power input from the cradle may be used as signals for recognizing whether the mobile terminal 100 is accurately mounted on the cradle.

The output unit 150 is configured to provide output signals (e.g., audio signals, video signals, alarm signals, vibration signals, etc.) in a visual, audio, and/or tactile manner. The output unit 150 may include a display unit 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm unit 153, and the like.

The display unit 151 may display information processed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is in a phone call mode, the display unit 151 may display a User Interface (UI) or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) related to a call or other communication (e.g., text messaging, multimedia file downloading, etc.). When the mobile terminal 100 is in a video call mode or an image capturing mode, the display unit 151 may display a captured image and/or a received image, a UI or GUI showing a video or an image and related functions, and the like.

Meanwhile, when the display unit 151 and the touch pad are overlapped with each other in the form of a layer to form a touch screen, the display unit 151 may serve as an input device and an output device. The display unit 151 may include at least one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a thin film transistor LCD (TFT-LCD), an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display, a flexible display, a three-dimensional (3D) display, and the like. Some of these displays may be configured to be transparent to allow a user to view from the outside, which may be referred to as transparent displays, and a typical transparent display may be, for example, a TOLED (transparent organic light emitting diode) display or the like. Depending on the particular desired implementation, mobile terminal 100 may include two or more display units (or other display devices), for example, mobile terminal 100 may include an external display unit (not shown) and an internal display unit (not shown). The touch screen may be used to detect a touch input pressure as well as a touch input position and a touch input area.

The audio output module 152 may convert audio data received by the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 into an audio signal and output as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Also, the audio output module 152 may provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output module 152 may include a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 153 may provide an output to notify the mobile terminal 100 of the occurrence of an event. Typical events may include call reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like. In addition to audio or video output, the alarm unit 153 may provide output in different ways to notify the occurrence of an event. For example, the alarm unit 153 may provide an output in the form of vibration, and when a call, a message, or some other incoming communication (communicating communication) is received, the alarm unit 153 may provide a tactile output (i.e., vibration) to inform the user thereof. By providing such a tactile output, the user can recognize the occurrence of various events even when the user's mobile phone is in the user's pocket. The alarm unit 153 may also provide an output notifying the occurrence of an event via the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152.

The memory 160 may store software programs or the like for processing and controlling operations performed by the controller 180, or may temporarily store data (e.g., a phonebook, messages, still images, videos, etc.) that has been output or is to be output. Also, the memory 160 may store data regarding various ways of vibration and audio signals output when a touch is applied to the touch screen.

The memory 160 may include at least one type of storage medium including a flash memory, a hard disk, a multimedia card, a card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory, etc.), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, and the like. Also, the mobile terminal 100 may cooperate with a network storage device that performs a storage function of the memory 160 through a network connection.

The controller 180 generally controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal 100. For example, the controller 180 performs control and processing related to voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like. In addition, the controller 180 may include a multimedia module 181 for reproducing or playing back multimedia data, and the multimedia module 181 may be constructed within the controller 180 or may be constructed to be separated from the controller 180. The controller 180 may perform a pattern recognition process to recognize a handwriting input or a picture drawing input performed on the touch screen as a character or an image.

The power supply unit 190 receives external power or internal power and provides appropriate power required to operate various elements and components under the control of the controller 180.

The various embodiments described herein may be implemented in a computer-readable medium using, for example, computer software, hardware, or any combination thereof. For a hardware implementation, the embodiments described herein may be implemented using at least one of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Digital Signal Processing Device (DSPD), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a processor, a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, an electronic unit designed to perform the functions described herein, and in some cases, such embodiments may be implemented in the controller 180.

The software codes may be implemented by software applications (or programs) written in any suitable programming language, which may be stored in the memory 160 and executed by the controller 180.

Up to this point, the mobile terminal 100 has been described in terms of its functions. Hereinafter, the slide-type mobile terminal 100 among various types of mobile terminals 100, such as a folder-type, bar-type, swing-type, slide-type mobile terminal 100, and the like, will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal 100, and is not limited to the slide type mobile terminal 100.

The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication systems such as wired and wireless communication systems and satellite-based communication systems that transmit data via frames or packets.

A communication system in which the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention is capable of operating will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

Such communication systems may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interface used by the communication system includes, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and the like. By way of non-limiting example, the following description relates to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of systems.

Referring to fig. 2, the CDMA wireless communication system may include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) 270, Base Station Controllers (BSCs) 275, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 280. The MSC 280 is configured to interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 290. The MSC 280 is also configured to interface with a BSC275, which may be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul. The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that a system as shown in fig. 2 may include multiple BSCs 2750.

Each BS 270 may serve one or more sectors (or regions), each sector covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction being radially distant from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS 270 may be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, with each frequency allocation having a particular frequency spectrum (e.g., 1.25MHz, 5MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitions with frequency allocations may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS 270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" may be used to generically refer to a single BSC275 and at least one BS 270. The base stations may also be referred to as "cells". Alternatively, each partition of a particular BS 270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

As shown in fig. 2, a Broadcast Transmitter (BT)295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in fig. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In fig. 2, several satellites 300 are shown, for example, Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 may be employed. The satellite 300 assists in locating at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites. The GPS module 115 as shown in fig. 1 is generally configured to cooperate with satellites 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal 100 may be used instead of or in addition to GPS tracking techniques. In addition, at least one GPS satellite 300 may selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmission.

As a typical operation of the wireless communication system, the BS 270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminal 100 is generally engaged in conversations, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within the particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the associated BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions including coordination of soft handoff procedures between BSs 270. The BSCs 275 also route the received data to the MSC 280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, the PSTN290 interfaces with the MSC 280, the MSC interfaces with the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 accordingly control the BS 270 to transmit forward link signals to the mobile terminal 100.

The mobile communication module 112 of the wireless communication unit 110 in the mobile terminal accesses the mobile communication network based on the necessary data (including the user identification information and the authentication information) of the mobile communication network (such as the mobile communication network of 2G/3G/4G, etc.) built in the mobile terminal, so as to transmit the mobile communication data (including the uplink mobile communication data and the downlink mobile communication data) for the services of web browsing, network multimedia playing, etc. of the mobile terminal user.

The wireless internet module 113 of the wireless communication unit 110 implements a function of a wireless hotspot by operating a related protocol function of the wireless hotspot, the wireless hotspot supports access by a plurality of mobile terminals (any mobile terminal other than the mobile terminal), transmits mobile communication data (including uplink mobile communication data and downlink mobile communication data) for mobile terminal user's services such as web browsing, network multimedia playing, etc. by multiplexing the mobile communication connection between the mobile communication module 112 and the mobile communication network, since the mobile terminal essentially multiplexes the mobile communication connection between the mobile terminal and the communication network for transmitting mobile communication data, the traffic of mobile communication data consumed by the mobile terminal is charged to the communication tariff of the mobile terminal by a charging entity on the side of the communication network, thereby consuming the data traffic of the mobile communication data included in the communication tariff contracted for use by the mobile terminal.

Based on the above hardware structure of the mobile terminal 100 and the communication system, various embodiments of the method of the present invention are proposed.

Fig. 3 is an alternative structural diagram of the terminal in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, a terminal provided in an embodiment of the present invention may include: a detection module 301, an option display module 302 and a hiding module 303; wherein,

In this embodiment of the present invention, the at least one operation option configured in advance may include: a preset prompt and at least one operation option; each operation option corresponds to different hiding levels; when a certain operation option is selected by the user, the hiding module 303 performs a corresponding hiding operation on the selected application icon according to the hiding level corresponding to the pressing operation, and then the selected application icon is no longer displayed on the pressure screen of the terminal.

In practical applications, the at least one operation option configured in advance may include: a first operation option and a second operation option; the first hiding level corresponds to the first operation option; a second hiding level corresponding to the second operation option; optionally, the second level of concealment has a higher security requirement than the first level of concealment, relatively speaking; for example, the first hidden level may be normal hiding, and when an application corresponding to the normal hiding needs to be displayed, the permission restriction is not needed, but the second hidden level is permission hiding, when an application corresponding to the permission hiding needs to be displayed, permission identification is needed, that is, authentication of a user needs to be performed, and the second hidden level has high security and is intended to prevent others from searching and operating the application.

Here, the identification information for authentication may include: fingerprint, password, etc. The identification information may be preset, or may be obtained in real time during the operation of hiding the application icon, for example, the user is guided to set during the operation of hiding the application icon, or the fingerprint information of the user is actively obtained and stored during the operation of hiding the application icon.

The hiding module 303 is specifically configured to:

when the second pressing operation is detected to be directed at the first operation option, namely when a user selects the first operation option through the second pressing operation, shielding and displaying the application icon according to a first hiding level corresponding to the first operation option, and storing the position information of the application icon into a first hiding area;

when the second pressing operation is detected to be directed at the second operation option, namely the user selects the second operation option through the second pressing operation, the application icon is shielded and displayed according to a second hiding level corresponding to the second operation option, the position information of the application icon is stored in a second hiding area, and the identity identification information of the user is stored. It should be noted that the first hidden area and the second hidden area may be different areas in the terminal.

FIG. 4a is an alternative diagram illustrating hiding application icons in an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 4b shows another alternative diagram of hiding application icons in the embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4a and 4b, when a certain application on the terminal desktop is pressed for a long time, for example, the chat application 1, when the continuous pressing time is greater than the preset time threshold, the following prompt information is selected, and there are two operation options in the prompt: 1. first-level hiding; 2. and (5) secondary hiding.

When a different hidden function is selected, corresponding hidden icon Identification (ID) information is registered in the corresponding location area:

if the first-level hiding is selected, the selected application can be hidden only by lightly clicking the corresponding position, and the corresponding application can be placed in a first-level position area (the area is a storage area arranged in the mobile phone and is specially used for storing the applications hidden in the same level);

if the secondary hiding option is selected, the corresponding application is placed in the secondary hiding area, and the fingerprint information is stored.

Fig. 4c shows another alternative schematic diagram of hiding the application icon in the embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 4a and 4c, it can be seen that the icon of the chat application 1 has been hidden.

It should be noted that the continuous pressing time can be controlled to be about 5s, the time is long, the selection prompt message caused by the mistaken touch can be avoided, and even if the selection prompt message appears and is not selected in time, the selection prompt message can disappear rapidly.

In practice, the specific implementation of the preset condition has a certain correlation with the parameter; if the parameter of the pressing operation is determined as the continuous pressing time, the preset condition may be a preset time threshold; if the parameter of the pressing operation is determined to be the pressing intensity, the preset condition may be a preset pressing intensity threshold; if the parameter of the pressing operation is determined as the continuous pressing time, the preset condition may be a preset threshold value of the continuous pressing time within the specified time interval. The present invention is not particularly limited in this regard.

The following description will be given taking the parameters of the pressing operation as the duration of the pressing operation: the option display module 302 is specifically configured to display at least one operation option configured in advance when it is determined that the continuous pressing time of the first pressing operation is greater than a preset time threshold.

It should be noted that at least one application icon is displayed on the pressure screen of the terminal. When detecting a first pressing operation of a user on a pressure screen for a target application icon (the target application icon may refer to one application icon or to multiple application icons at the same time), the detection module 301 obtains a parameter of the first pressing operation, and sends the parameter of the first pressing operation to the option display module 302;

when the option display module 302 receives the parameter of the first pressing operation sent by the option display module 302, determining whether the parameter of the first pressing operation meets a preset condition; if the parameter of the first pressing operation meets the preset condition, displaying at least one operation option configured in advance;

in practice, the detection module 301 may detect a pressing operation of the user for at least one operation option pre-configured to be presented by the terminal; when a second press operation for a certain operation option of the at least one operation option is detected, notifying the hiding module 303; or, the hiding module 303 detects a pressing operation of the user for at least one operation option pre-configured to be presented by the terminal;

when detecting a second pressing operation for an operation option in the at least one operation option, the hiding module 303 learns a hiding level selected by the user for the target application icon according to a hiding level corresponding to the operation option selected by the second pressing operation; and hiding the target application icon according to the hiding level.

In the prior art, common applications and uncommon applications are easy to be mixed together, so that the searching is troublesome, and the scheme of using the third-party apk has the defects of complex operation, occupation of mobile phone memory and easy finding and operation by others; compared with the prior art, in the embodiment of the invention, when the option display module determines that the parameter of the first pressing operation performed by the user on the application icon on the pressure screen meets the preset condition, at least one operation option which is configured in advance is displayed on the pressure screen, and the application icon is hidden according to the hidden grade corresponding to the operation option selected by the user from the at least one operation option, so that the application icon is quickly hidden in a graded way; that is to say, the user can select different hiding levels according to prompt options by pressing the application icon, so that the purpose of classifying and hiding the application can be achieved, the operation is convenient, the memory consumption of the terminal is reduced, and the safety of the hidden application is improved.

step 1) when a certain application is to be hidden, the application is pressed, and when the application is pressed to a certain force, for example, about 3s, a selection prompt appears for a user to select: 1. first-level hiding; 2. secondary hiding;

and 2) storing related hidden application ID (namely application name) and current position coordinate (X, Y) information in a classified manner according to the hidden level selected by the user, and if secondary hiding is selected, storing fingerprint information.

Fig. 8a, 8b and 8c are schematic diagrams illustrating displaying hidden application icons in the embodiment of the present invention. The method provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:

step 1, pressing application: pressing any position or a designated position of the mobile phone interface for 3s for a long time or continuously clicking a certain position of a screen for 3 times (3s is for first-level hidden application; 3 times is for second-level hidden application); a press event is triggered.

Step 2, after receiving the pressing event, selecting and displaying the application according to the pressing time:

if the application is continuously pressed for 3s, a prompt box pops up, referring to fig. 8a, the application can be displayed by inputting the abbreviation of the corresponding application name in the prompt box, if the application needs to be searched for the WeChat, only the wx needs to be input, and the application with the wx abbreviation of the two application names can be displayed by a series of matching searches. When displaying, firstly reading back the position coordinates (X, Y) before the application stored in the current hidden area, simultaneously checking whether the position area of the current screen is occupied by other applications, if the hidden application is not displayed in the area, if other applications are available, checking whether the current screen has an application position which can be stored, and placing the application at a corresponding position after finding. And if no available position exists, giving a prompt of 'the hidden application can be displayed only by adjusting the application layout of the screen interface', and the like.

If a certain position of the screen is continuously clicked for 3 times, each interval is less than 1s, if each interval is more than 1s, a prompt box is triggered to be displayed on an interface to enable a user to input fingerprint information, referring to fig. 8c, only if the user inputs a correct fingerprint (note: if no two-stage hidden application exists at present, even if the screen is continuously clicked for 3 times, the prompt box is not popped up, so that the current application without any two-stage hidden application can be prevented, if the prompt box appears for 3 times, bad experience can be brought to the user), the two-stage hidden application can be displayed, when in display, the position coordinates (X, Y) of the application stored in the current hidden area can be read firstly, whether other applications occupy the position area of the current screen or not can be checked, if no hidden application occupies the area, the two-stage hidden applications can be displayed in the area, if other applications exist, whether the applications are displayed in the idle area or not is prompted, whether the application positions which can be stored exist in the current screen or not is checked, and the applications are placed in the corresponding positions after the applications are found. If no position is available, a prompt is given, and similarly, the screen interface application layout needs to be adjusted to display a prompt such as a hidden application.
