s101: a background application presentation request is received.

The application display method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to the terminal, and the terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer and the like.

The terminal is provided with icons of various applications, a user can use the applications on the terminal, the applications used by the user can run in the background, namely background applications exist in the terminal, and each running application can be regarded as a task.

The user may perform some operation on the terminal to enable the terminal to display information of the background application, where the operation may be, for example, double-clicking, pressing a HOME key, and the like. The terminal displays the information of the background application, namely the terminal opens the multi-task bar and displays the information of the background application on the multi-task bar. And if the user triggers the display operation of the background application, the terminal receives the display operation of the background application. The terminal determines to receive a background application display request when receiving a display operation of the background application triggered by a user.

S102: and displaying the icon of each first background application in the current first annular area.

The terminal has stored therein a first annular area, which may be understood as an annular display area, the annular area being visible on the display interface of the terminal. The terminal may display an icon of a background application in the first annular region. Generally, the number of background applications that can be displayed in the first annular region is limited, the number of icons that can be displayed in the first annular region is referred to as a first number, the terminal may determine each background application to be displayed before displaying the icons of the background applications, and each background application to be displayed may be understood as all background applications. The terminal may select a first number of background applications from each background application to be displayed, display icons of the selected first number of background applications in the first annular region, and display the icon of each first background application in the first annular region if the selected first number of background applications are called as first background applications. The terminal may be randomly selected when selecting the first number of background applications from each background application to be presented.

And if the number of the background applications to be presented is not more than the first number, each first background application presented is all the currently existing background applications.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the icons of the background applications are displayed in the first annular area, so that a plurality of background applications can be displayed, a user can conveniently view the background applications, and the icons of the background applications are displayed, so that the privacy disclosure of the user can be avoided.

Example 2:

in order to make the displayed first background applications more suitable for the requirements of the user, on the basis of the above embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, before displaying the icon of each first background application in the first ring area, the method further includes:

In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal can determine the priority of each application in advance, save the first number of icons capable of being displayed in the first annular area, and select the first background application of the first number according to the priority.

Specifically, before the icon of each first background application is displayed, each background application to be displayed is identified, according to the priority of each prestored background application, each identified background application is sorted in the order of priority from high to low, a first number of background applications which are sorted in the sorted background applications are selected as the first background applications, and the icon of each first background application is displayed in the first annular area.

The priority of each application may be preset by a user, or may be determined according to the last time each application is used, or may be determined according to the frequency with which each application is used for a preset period of time. In general, the later the last time is used, the higher the priority, the higher the frequency of being used within a preset time period, the higher the priority, the preset time period may be one week, one month, etc.

Example 3:

in an embodiment of the present invention, each of the presentation positions is included in the first annular area, and the number of presentation positions is generally consistent with a first number of icons that can be presented in the first annular area. When the icon of each first background application is displayed in the first annular area, a display position corresponding to each first background application can be determined, and the icon of the first background application is displayed on the corresponding display position. The display position corresponding to each first background application may be determined arbitrarily.

In order to make the background applications displayed more regular, on the basis of the above embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, the displaying the icon of each first background application in the first ring-shaped area includes:

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may further store the priority of each display position in the first annular region, and when determining the display position corresponding to each first background application, the display position corresponding to the first background application may be referred to as a target display position, which is determined according to the priority of each first background application and the priority of each display position in the first annular region. The relationship between each first background application and the corresponding target display position is as follows: the higher the priority of the first background application is, the higher the priority of the corresponding target exhibition position is.

Specifically, whether the first background application with the undetermined display position exists or not is judged, if yes, the first background application with the highest priority is selected from the first background applications with the undetermined display position, and the display position with the highest priority in the display positions of the undetermined corresponding background applications is used as the display position corresponding to the first background application with the highest priority in the undetermined display position until the first background application with the undetermined display position does not exist, that is, all the first background applications determine the corresponding target display position.

After the target display position corresponding to each first background application is determined, for each first background application, the icon of the first background application can be displayed on the corresponding target display position according to the determined target display position corresponding to the first background application.

Example 4:

the number of icons capable of being displayed simultaneously in the first annular area is limited, when background applications are excessive, icons of partial background applications may not be displayed, each hidden background application is displayed regularly for convenience, and a corresponding hidden position of a second background application except the first background application in the background applications can be determined. On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, if the background application includes a second background application except the first background application, the method further includes:

In the embodiment of the invention, if the number of the background applications existing in the terminal is greater than the first number of the background applications capable of being displayed in the first annular area, icons with partial background applications cannot be displayed. And the background applications except the first background application in the background applications existing in the terminal are called second background applications. The terminal may determine a hidden region for each second background application, and a hidden location within the hidden region.

The terminal is pre-stored with a plurality of second annular regions, where the second annular regions are hidden, may be understood as annular hidden regions, and store the priority of each second annular region, the number of hidden positions included in each second annular region may be the same or different, each hidden position may be understood as a position where an icon of the background application is hidden, the number of icons that can be hidden in the second annular region is referred to as a second number, that is, the hidden positions in the second annular region are the second number, and the second number may be the same as or different from the first number of icons that can be displayed in the first annular region.

The terminal may perform the following steps for each second annular region in sequence from high priority to low priority according to the pre-stored priority of each hidden second annular region:

and judging whether a second background application with an undetermined hidden position exists at present, if so, determining the hidden position of the second background application in the second annular region needing to be hidden, and then displaying an icon of the background application corresponding to the hidden position in the second annular region.

The second annular area has a second number of icons capable of being hidden, and the terminal can select a second number of background applications from the second background applications of each undetermined hidden position to determine the corresponding hidden position. And the selected second number of second background applications is called target second background applications. When the second number of target second background applications are selected, the selection may be arbitrary, so as to conveniently display each icon more regularly in the follow-up process, when the second number of target second background applications are selected, the selection may be performed according to the priority of each second background application, the selection may be performed by selecting the second background applications with a higher priority in the second number as the target second background applications, specifically, each second background application with no determined hidden position is sorted according to the order of priority from high to low, and the selection is performed by selecting the second background applications with a second number of background applications with a higher priority in the sorted second background applications as the target second background applications.

After each target second background application is determined, a hidden position corresponding to each target second background application may be determined, which may be determined arbitrarily, in order to make subsequent display of hidden icons more regular, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may further store the priority of each hidden position in the second annular region, and when the hidden position corresponding to each target second background application is determined, the hidden position corresponding to the target second background application may be referred to as a target hidden position according to the selected priority of each target second background application and the priority of each hidden position in the second annular region, and a relationship between each target second background application and its corresponding target hidden position is as follows: the higher the priority of the target second background application is, the higher the priority of the target hidden position corresponding to the target second background application is.

Specifically, whether the target second background application with the undetermined hidden position exists or not is judged, if yes, the target second background application with the undetermined hidden position with the highest priority is selected, and the hidden position with the highest priority in the hidden positions of the undetermined corresponding background applications is used as the hidden position corresponding to the target second background application with the highest priority in the undetermined hidden position until the target second background application with the undetermined hidden position does not exist, that is, all the target second background applications determine the corresponding target hidden position.

After the target hiding position corresponding to each target second background application is determined, the corresponding relation between each target hiding position in the second annular area and each display position in the first annular area can be saved. The specific method may be to store the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the second annular region, the identification information of the target hiding position, and the identification information of the display position. The identification information of the second annular area may be, for example, the first ring, the second ring, and the like, and the identification information of the target hidden position may be, for example, the identification information of the target hidden position such as position a, position B, and the like, and may be, for example, position a, position B, and the like.

The annular area comprises an inner ring area and an outer ring area, and the circle centers of the inner ring area and the outer ring area are the same;

The descending trend of the priority corresponding to each position in the inner ring area is the same as the ascending trend of the priority corresponding to each position in the outer ring area.

As shown in fig. 2, the first annular region is a semi-annular region of a solid line portion in fig. 2, the first annular region includes an inner annular region and an outer annular region, circle center positions of the inner annular region and the outer annular region are the same, the number of icons that can be displayed in the inner annular region is 5, the number of icons that can be displayed in the outer annular region is 9, the first number of icons that can be displayed in the first annular region is 14, the number of currently existing background applications is 28, some background applications in the 28 background applications need to be hidden, and the first background applications that can be displayed determine respective corresponding display positions, serial numbers 1 to 5 in fig. 2, and serial numbers 6 to 15 in turn according to the inner annular region and the outer annular region, which can be understood as priorities of the background applications.

For second background applications with the remaining priorities ranked in 15-18 among the 28 background applications, according to the priorities, determining corresponding hidden positions in a second ring-shaped region for hiding (a semi-ring-shaped region of a dotted line part in fig. 2), and still determining hidden positions corresponding to second background applications with the priorities of 15-28 by adopting a principle of first inner ring region and then outer ring region.

And if the number of the current background applications is more than 28, continuously determining the respective hidden positions according to the priority level of each background application.

Example 5:

for the convenience of the user to see the hidden icon and improve the user experience, on the basis of the above embodiments, in the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:

In the embodiment of the invention, the number of background applications to be displayed in the terminal is large, icons of partial background applications are hidden, and when a user wants to view the hidden partial background applications, the user can rotate the displayed first annular area to hide the icons displayed in the first annular area and display the hidden icons in the second annular area.

When the user performs the rotation operation on the first annular area, the terminal receives the rotation operation on the first annular area. When the terminal receives the rotation operation of the first annular area, the icon of each background application in the currently displayed third annular area can be hidden. The icon for each background application in the currently presented third annular region may be an icon in the first annular region or an icon in the second annular region.

If the user rotates the first annular region for the first time, that is, when the terminal receives the rotation operation for the first time, the currently displayed icon of each background application is the icon of each first background application displayed in the first annular region, the terminal hides the currently displayed icon of each first background application and displays the icon in the second annular region. If the user does not perform the rotation operation on the first annular region for the first time, that is, when the terminal does not receive the rotation operation for the first time, the currently displayed icon of each background application in the third annular region may be the icon of each first background application displayed in the first annular region, or may be the icon of the second background application in the second annular region.

When the user performs a rotating operation on the first annular region, there is a corresponding rotating direction, and the rotating direction may be counterclockwise or clockwise. The rotation direction indicates the trend of the priority, for example, the trend of the priority corresponding to the clockwise direction is decreased, the trend of the priority corresponding to the counterclockwise direction is increased, and the trend of the priority corresponding to the counterclockwise direction may be opposite.

The terminal may determine an annular region for icon presentation, which is referred to as a target annular region, and may determine the corresponding target annular region according to the rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation, the third annular region, and the priority of each fourth annular region that can be presented. The third annular region that can be shown therein can be the first annular region and the entire second annular region. When the icons of the background applications cannot fill all the second annular areas, some second annular areas do not determine the corresponding second background applications, and even if the second annular areas which do not determine the corresponding background applications are used as target annular areas, icons of the background applications are displayed subsequently, the displayed icons are empty and have no icons. Thus, to enhance the user experience, each fourth annular region that can be exposed can be a first annular region and a second annular region that defines a corresponding background application. The third annular region is one of the fourth annular regions.

When determining the corresponding target annular region according to the rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation, the third annular region, and the priority of each fourth annular region that can be shown, specifically, it may be determined whether the priority trend corresponding to the rotation direction is increasing or decreasing, if the priority trend corresponding to the rotation direction is increasing, it is determined whether an annular region with a higher priority than that in the third annular region exists in the fourth annular region according to the priority of each fourth annular region, if so, the annular region with a higher priority than that in the third annular region is used as the target annular region, and if not, the annular region with a lowest priority in the fourth annular region is used as the target annular region.

And if the priority trend corresponding to the rotation direction is descending, determining whether an annular area with the priority lower than that in the third annular area exists in the fourth annular areas or not according to the priority of each fourth annular area, if so, taking the annular area with the priority lower than that in the third annular area as a target annular area, and if not, taking the annular area with the highest priority in the fourth annular areas as the target annular area.

After the terminal determines the target annular area, icons of the corresponding second background applications can be displayed at each display position according to the second background applications corresponding to each target position in the predetermined target annular area and the corresponding relation between each target position and each display position.

If the target annular area is a first annular area, displaying icons of corresponding first background applications at each display position according to the first background applications corresponding to each target display position in the first annular area, which is determined in advance.

And if the target annular area is a second annular area, displaying icons of the corresponding second background applications on each display position according to a predetermined second background application corresponding to each target hiding position in the second annular area and the corresponding relation between each target hiding position and each display position.

As shown in fig. 3, the number of background applications is 56, and icons of background applications prioritized at 29 th to 42 th are displayed in the first annular area by a rotating operation applied to the first annular area. And hiding the icons of the rest background applications. As shown in fig. 3, the non-displayed icon is hidden at a position next to the current last display position, and the background application of the subsequent non-displayed icons is continuously displayed, and like a spiral, it may be referred to as a spiral arrangement display.

As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, which are schematic diagrams illustrating the icons of the background applications by the terminal, in addition to displaying the icons of the background applications in the annular area, a one-key clear button, that is, a "broom" button in fig. 4A and 4B, may be further provided to perform one-key clear on the processes and the icons of the background applications. As shown in fig. 4B, in order to make the user more intuitively see whether there are any background applications that are not currently displayed, after all background applications are displayed, a mark, i.e., "+" in fig. 4B, may be added at a position next to the display position of the icon of the last background application, indicating that all the icons of the background applications have been displayed.

Example 6:

in order to enable a user to clearly know whether a background application corresponding to an icon displayed in the first annular region has a high priority or a low priority, and further improve user experience, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, before hiding an icon of each background application in a currently displayed third annular region, the method further includes:

if not, the subsequent steps are carried out.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal identifies the rotation operation on the first annular region, the terminal may first identify a rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation, and determine whether to hide the currently displayed background application icon according to the rotation direction. The terminal may determine, according to a rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation, whether the third annular region is a last annular region corresponding to the rotation direction, if so, not hide the currently displayed icon, but keep the currently displayed icon unchanged, and if not, hide the currently displayed icon.

When determining whether the third annular region is the last annular region corresponding to the rotation direction according to the rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation, it may be to determine a priority trend corresponding to the rotation direction, determine whether the third annular region is the last annular region of the priority trend in each exposable fourth annular region, that is, if the priority trend is increasing, determine whether the third annular region is the annular region with the highest priority in each exposable fourth annular region;

and if the priority trend is descending, judging whether the third annular area is the annular area with the lowest priority in each fourth annular area capable of being displayed.

Therefore, if the currently displayed icon is already the background application icon in the annular area with the highest priority or the lowest priority, the currently displayed icon is not hidden, the last icon is shown, and a user can know the priority of the background application corresponding to the currently displayed icon conveniently.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the annular regions in the embodiment of the present invention are semi-annular regions, each two semi-annular regions are regarded as one turn, and as shown in fig. 5, all turns are overlapped to form a spiral arrangement.

The number corresponding to the icon in each circle is generated from the same position of the previous circle plus 28. Thus, when the first annular region is rotated, the sequence numbers of the icons appearing later and the sequence numbers appearing earlier are sequentially arranged, the n turns are stacked from bottom to top in the order from 1 to n, and the sequence numbers are spirally arranged, so that the sequence is called a spiral sequence.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, when the number of background applications is less than 28, the first circles are arranged in sequence one by one according to the sequence of the first circle sequence number in fig. 2, that is, the inner circle region is arranged first and then the outer circle region is arranged. When the number of the background applications is greater than 28, according to the second circle sequence number arrangement diagram in fig. 3, on the basis of the first circle, each sequence number is added with 28 to generate a new sequence number to arrange the second circle. By analogy, when the number of tasks is greater than 28 × n (n is the number of turns), the sequence number of the n-th turn is a new sequence number generated according to 28 × n. And displaying the icons of the background application according to the sequence numbers after the user slides the disc.

The user checks the icons of the background applications through the sliding disc, does not directly display the thumbnails of the tasks, namely page content, and even if the background applications are many, the performance cannot be affected.

Example 7:

on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal displays the first annular region, in order to enable a user to distinguish an icon of an application in the current display interface from an icon of a background application, the displaying an icon of each first background application in the first annular region includes:

In the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the display request of the background application, the multitask management interface may also be displayed, and then the first annular region is displayed in the multitask management interface, that is, the icon of each first background application is displayed in the first annular region of the multitask management interface.

Example 8:
