detailed description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided for more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

Referring to FIG. 1 , it shows a flow chart of the steps of a method embodiment for displaying application program icons on a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a mobile terminal, preferably a mobile terminal with a touch screen. In the mobile terminal, for example, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant, personal digital assistant), a laptop computer, a palmtop computer, and the like. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

These mobile terminals generally can support operating systems including Android (Android), IOS, WindowsPhone or windows, etc., and usually can support the installation of application programs.

The embodiment of the present invention may specifically include the following steps:

Step 101, determine the hand-held mode in which the user holds the mobile terminal;

Applied to the embodiment of the present invention, the hand-held mode in which the user holds the mobile terminal may include a left-handed mode and a right-handed mode. Wherein, the left-handed mode is a mode in which the user uses the mobile terminal with the left hand, and the right-handed mode is the mode in which the user uses the mobile terminal with the right hand.

In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention, referring to the flow chart of the method steps for determining the hand-held mode of the user's hand-held mobile terminal shown in FIG. 2, step 101 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S1, obtaining the relative position status of the left and right sides of the screen of the mobile terminal;

Usually, when a user uses a mobile terminal (for example, a mobile phone) with one hand, he or she will hold one end of the mobile terminal with the little finger to prevent the mobile terminal from slipping. When turned on, the right side will be higher than the left side. Based on this, the embodiments of the present invention can determine the hand-held mode in which the user holds the mobile terminal according to the relative position states of the left and right sides of the screen of the mobile terminal.

In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention, sub-step S1 may further be:

Sub-step S11, determining the screen direction of the mobile terminal through gravity sensing;

Sub-step S12, according to the determined screen orientation, determine the relative position status of the left and right sides of the mobile terminal.

As an example, the screen orientation may include landscape (namely landscape) and vertical (namely portrait).

In a specific implementation, the screen orientation of the current screen of the mobile terminal and the relative position status of the left and right sides of the screen can be determined through a gravity sensing device in the mobile terminal, such as a three-axis accelerometer.

Take a mobile terminal with a built-in three-axis accelerometer as an example. When the mobile terminal is vertical, the left and right sides of the screen plane correspond to the positive and negative X axis of the accelerometer, the upper and lower sides of the screen correspond to the positive and negative axis of the Y axis, and the plane of the mobile terminal faces inwards and outwards to correspond to the Z axis. Axis positive and negative, the three-dimensional space formed by these three axes can detect various actions on the mobile terminal.

In practice, the tilt angle of the mobile terminal can be calculated from the angle formed by these three axes (or any two axes), so as to calculate the value of the acceleration due to gravity. When the mobile terminal is stationary, no matter how it is placed, the acceleration in the three-axis direction will not exceed 1. When it is stationary, the gravity acceleration of the mobile terminal is 1, and the value range of the gravity acceleration g is -1≤g≤1.

Using a three-axis accelerometer, the acceleration of gravity g1 on the X axis and g2 on the Y axis can be calculated. When the absolute value of the acceleration of gravity on the X axis is greater than the absolute value of the acceleration of gravity on the Y axis, it can be determined that the current screen orientation is vertical; correspondingly, if the absolute value of the acceleration of gravity on the X axis is smaller than the absolute value of the acceleration of gravity on the Y axis , it can be determined that the current screen orientation is landscape.

After the orientation of the screen is determined, the relative position states of the left and right sides of the mobile terminal can be further determined according to the acceleration of gravity g1 of the X axis and the acceleration of gravity of the Y axis g2.

Specifically, for the situation where the current screen orientation is determined to be vertical, if g1>0, it can be determined that the relative position status of the left and right sides of the mobile terminal is that the left side is higher than the right side; if g1<0, it can be determined that the mobile terminal The relative position state of the left and right sides of the terminal is that the right side is higher than the left side; if g1=0, it can be determined that the relative position state of the left and right sides of the mobile terminal is equal to the left side and the right side.

For the situation where the current screen orientation is judged to be landscape orientation, if g2>0, it can be determined that the relative position of the left and right sides of the mobile terminal is higher than the left side; if g2<0, it can be determined that the left and right sides of the mobile terminal are higher than the right. The relative position state of the side is that the right side is higher than the left side; if g2=0, it can be determined that the relative position state of the left and right sides of the mobile terminal is equal to the left side and the right side.

Of course, other methods may be used to determine the current screen orientation of the mobile terminal and the relative positions of the left and right sides of the mobile terminal in addition to the above methods, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

In sub-step S2, if the left side of the screen is higher than the right side of the screen, or if the left side of the screen is equal to the right side of the screen, it is determined that the handheld mode is a right-handed mode;

Sub-step S3, if the right side of the screen is higher than the left side of the screen, it is determined that the handheld mode is left-handed mode.

Usually, when a user uses a mobile terminal with one hand, he or she will hold one end of the mobile terminal with the little finger to prevent the mobile terminal from slipping off. Therefore, when holding the mobile phone in the right hand, the left side will be higher than the right side; will be higher than the left side. Based on this, if it is determined that the current screen orientation of the mobile terminal is that the left side is higher than the right side, it can be determined that the handheld mode is a right-handed mode; Left hand mode.

Generally, the user uses the mobile terminal with the right hand. Therefore, for the situation where the left side and the right side are of equal height, the embodiment of the present invention preferably classifies it as a right-handed mode.

In a specific implementation, due to the instability of the environment where the mobile terminal is located, when determining the handheld mode, a time threshold can be preset. When the relative position state of the left and right sides of the mobile terminal lasts longer than the time threshold, The final hand-held mode is determined, for example, when the duration of the left side of the mobile terminal being higher than the right side exceeds a threshold of 5 seconds, it is finally determined that the hand-held mode of the mobile terminal is the right hand mode.

Step 102, arranging application program icons of the mobile terminal according to the handheld mode.

After it is determined that the user holds the mobile terminal in a hand-held mode, the application program icons of the mobile terminal can be adaptively arranged according to the hand-held mode. Wherein, the application program icons may be icons of all application programs installed in the current operating system of the mobile terminal.

In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention, step 102 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S21, if the handheld mode is the right-handed mode, arrange the application program icons from left to right in units of each column of application program icons on the screen;

In sub-step S22, if the handheld mode is the left-handed mode, the application program icons are arranged from right to left in units of each column of application program icons on the screen.

Applied to the embodiment of the present invention, the application program icons can be arranged from a vertical perspective by using a column as a unit. When the handheld mode is the right-hand mode, the area that is easy to operate is the left side of the screen. Therefore, the frequently used application icons can be placed on the left side of the screen, that is, the application icons are arranged from left to right. The application icons in the first column are the application icons ranked in the top n positions by frequency of use.

When the handheld mode is left-handed, the area that is easy to operate is on the right side of the screen. Therefore, the frequently used application icons can be placed on the right side of the screen, that is, the application icons are arranged from right to left. The application icons in the first column are the application icons ranked in the top n positions by frequency of use.

Specifically, before arranging the application program icons, the mobile terminal can first count and sort the usage frequency of the application programs in the current operating system. The number of clicks is sorted according to the number of clicks of all application icons. Every preset threshold, for example, take a column for n applications. For example, the application icons sorted in the top n are used as the first column application Icons, n+1 to 2n application icons are used as application icons in the second column, and so on, wherein the application icon ranked first in the first column is the most frequently used application icon.

When the handheld mode of the mobile terminal is determined, the first column of application icons is displayed first, and then the second column of application icons is displayed in a direction from left to right or from right to left, and so on. Frequent application icons are displayed first, taking into account the user's usage habits, which facilitates the user's operation of frequently used applications, improves the user's efficiency in locating application icons, reduces invalid operations, and improves the data processing capability of the mobile terminal.

In another preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention, step 102 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S31, if the handheld mode is the right-hand mode, arrange the application program icons from top to bottom in units of each row of application program icons on the screen;

In sub-step S32, if the handheld mode is the left-handed mode, the application program icons are arranged from bottom to top with each row of application program icons on the screen as a unit.

Applied to the embodiment of the present invention, application program icons may be arranged in a row unit from a horizontal perspective. When the handheld mode is the right-hand mode, the area that is easy to operate is at the top of the screen. Therefore, the frequently used application icons can be placed on the top of the screen, that is, the application icons are arranged from top to bottom, among which, the icons are arranged in the first row The application icons of are the application icons with the top n places in the order of frequency of use.

When the handheld mode is the left-handed mode, the area that is easy to operate is the bottom of the screen. Therefore, the frequently used application icons of the user can be placed at the bottom of the screen, that is, the application icons are arranged from bottom to top, among which, they are arranged in the first row The application icons of are the application icons with the top n places in the order of frequency of use.

Specifically, before arranging the application program icons, the mobile terminal can first count and sort the usage frequency of the application programs in the current operating system. The number of clicks is sorted according to the number of times all application icons are clicked, and a row is taken every preset threshold, for example, n applications, for example, the application icons sorted in the top n are used as the first row of applications Icons, n+1 to 2n application icons are used as the second row of application icons, and so on, wherein the first application icon in the first row is the most frequently used application icon.

When the handheld mode of the mobile terminal is determined, the first row of application icons is displayed first, and then the second row of application icons is displayed in a direction from top to bottom or from bottom to top, and so on. Frequent application icons are displayed first, taking into account the user's usage habits, which facilitates the user's operation of frequently used applications, improves the user's efficiency in locating application icons, reduces invalid operations, and improves the data processing capability of the mobile terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the application icons of the mobile terminal can be adaptively arranged according to the hand-held mode of the user holding the mobile terminal, avoiding the system overhead caused by the user's multiple page-turning to find the application icon, improving the efficiency of application icon presentation, and , so that the arrangement of application program icons is more in line with the user's usage habits, and the user experience is improved.
