In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of icons that can be displayed in each annular display area stored in the terminal is limited, generally, more icons can be displayed in the annular display area with a large radius, fewer icons can be displayed in the annular display area with a small radius, and the number of icons that can be displayed in each annular display area in the terminal can be referred to as a second sub-number. The number of icons that can be simultaneously presented by the terminal is determined by the second sub-number of icons that can be presented in each annular presentation area, which is referred to as the second number, and the sum of each second sub-number is the second number.

The terminal can determine which applications the first background application is according to the second number of icons that the terminal can simultaneously display.

First, a first number of background applications to be displayed may be identified, and according to a second number of icons that can be displayed by the terminal, it is determined whether all the icons of the background applications of the first number to be displayed can be displayed, that is, it is determined whether the first number is greater than the second number, if the first number is not greater than the second number, all the icons of the background applications of the first number to be displayed can be displayed, and then each background application to be displayed may be used as the first background application.

If the first number is not greater than the second number, the icons of the first number of background applications to be displayed cannot be all displayed, and at this time, a part of the background applications in the first number of background applications may be selected as the first background application. When the first background applications are selected, the selected number may be a second number, and when the terminal selects the second number of the first background applications from the first number, the terminal may select the second number of the first background applications arbitrarily. In order to make the displayed background applications more suitable for the requirements of users, the priority of each background application can be stored in advance, and the selection is performed according to the priority of each background application. Specifically, each background application is sorted according to the priority from high to low, and a second number of background applications sorted in front are selected as the first background application from the sorted background applications.

The priority of the background application may be preset by a user, and may be determined by the terminal according to the used time and/or the used frequency of each application, where generally, the higher the used frequency is, the higher the corresponding priority is, and the later the used time is, the higher the corresponding priority is.

Example 5:

if so, taking the inner ring display area as a target ring display area;

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the ring-shaped display areas stored by the terminal may be one or multiple, in order to make the displayed ring-shaped display areas have good visibility, the terminal may store two ring-shaped display areas, and when the background application icons are displayed in the two ring-shaped display areas, the size of the ring-shaped display areas is suitable, and the size of the displayed icons is suitable.

The two annular display areas stored in the terminal can be respectively called an inner ring display area and an outer ring display area, the circle center positions of the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area can be the same, and the large circle radius of the inner ring display area is not larger than the small circle radius of the outer ring display area.

When the terminal displays the icons of the background applications, the icons can be displayed in the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area at will, in order to make the displayed icons more regular, the icons can be displayed in one annular display area first, and if the annular display area can not display all the icons of the background applications, the icons are displayed in the other annular display area.

For example, the icons of the background applications may be displayed in the inner ring display area first, and if the inner ring display area cannot display all the icons of the background applications, the icons of the background applications may be displayed in the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area at the same time.

Specifically, the terminal may first determine whether a first number of the background applications to be displayed is greater than a second sub-number of icons that can be displayed in the inner ring display area;

if the first number is not larger than the second sub-number of the icons capable of being displayed in the inner ring display area, the inner ring display area can display all the icons of the background applications, and the icons of the background applications in the first number are displayed in the inner ring display area, namely the inner ring display area is used as a target annular display area.

If the first number is larger than the second sub-number of the icons capable of being displayed in the inner ring display area, the inner ring display area cannot display all the icons of the background applications, and the icons of the background applications in the first number are displayed in the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area, namely the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area are used as target ring display areas.

Assuming that the inner ring display area can display 5 and icons, when the number of the background applications is less than or equal to 5, only the inner ring display area may be displayed, and if the number of the icons of the background applications is greater than 5, the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area need to be displayed.

Example 6:

in order to make the icons of the displayed background applications more regular, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, if all the icons of the first number of background applications cannot be displayed, before displaying the icon of each first background application in the target annular display area, the method further includes:

Example 7:

in order to make the displayed icons of the background applications more regular, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, displaying the icon of each first background application in the target annular display area includes:

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may pre-store the display position in each annular display area, each display position in the target annular display area is determined, and when the icon of the first background application is displayed in the target annular display area, the icon of the first background application may be displayed at any display position. In order to make the displayed background application icons more regular, the terminal may store the priority of each display position and the priority of each background application, determine the display position corresponding to each first background application, and call the determined display position corresponding to the first background application as a target display position.

The relationship between the first background application and the 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.

When the target display position corresponding to each first background application is determined according to the priority of the first background application and the priority of each display position in the target annular display area, whether the first background application with the undetermined display position exists or not may be judged, and if so, the first background application with the highest priority is selected from the first background applications with the undetermined display position. Identifying the display positions of the first background applications which are not determined to correspond to each other, selecting the display position with the highest priority from the display positions, and taking the selected display position with the highest priority as the target display position of the first background application which is selected to have the highest priority until the first background applications which are not determined to have the display positions do not exist, namely all the first background applications determine the corresponding target display positions.

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

The priority of each presentation position in the inner ring presentation area may be higher than the priority of each presentation position in the outer ring presentation area. The trend of the priority of the display positions in the inner ring display area and the trend of the priority of the display positions in the outer ring display area may be different and the lower one may be the same, for example, according to the clockwise direction, the priority of the display positions in the inner ring display area is changed from high to low, and the priority of the display positions in the outer ring display area is also changed from high to low.

Example 8:

in order to make the user see the background applications that are not shown, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, if the icons of the first number of background applications cannot be all shown, the method further includes:

In the embodiment of the invention, the number of icons capable of being displayed by the terminal is limited, and when the number of background applications to be displayed is large, some icons of the background applications cannot be displayed. The background application that is not shown is referred to as the fourth background application. The terminal may determine the fourth background application first, that is, the background applications except the first background application in the first number of background applications to be displayed are the fourth background application that is not displayed. After determining the fourth background application which is not displayed, the terminal may hide the icon of the fourth background application which is not displayed.

In order to conveniently and quickly display the icons which are not displayed, in the embodiment of the invention, the terminal can be stored with at least one hidden area, and the terminal can hide the icons in the hidden area. And the area for hiding the icon is called a target hiding area, the terminal determines the corresponding hiding position of the icon of the fourth background application in the target hiding area, and hides the icon of the fourth background application in the corresponding hiding position.

Specifically, the hidden position corresponding to each fourth background application may be determined according to the priority of each fourth background application and the priority of each hidden position, where the higher the priority of the fourth background application is, the higher the priority of the corresponding hidden position is.

Each hidden area stored by the terminal comprises annular hidden areas, and the number of the annular hidden areas contained in each hidden area is the same as that of the annular display areas contained in the target annular display area. For each hidden area, the terminal can store parameters such as a central angle, a circle center position, a large circle radius, a small circle radius and the like of at least one annular hidden area contained in the hidden area. Each annular hidden area may be 1/4 annular, i.e. with a central angle of 90 degrees, preferably each annular hidden area may be a half-annular, i.e. with a central angle of 180 degrees. The position of the center of each annular hidden area can be preset by the system. The central angle and the position of the center of each annular hidden area can be the same or different.

In the embodiments, the terminal determines the target display position corresponding to each icon of the first background application, and determines the hidden position corresponding to each icon of the fourth background application.

The terminal can pre-store the angle corresponding to each display position and each hidden position, and after the terminal determines the position corresponding to the icon of each background application, the terminal can store the angle of the corresponding position for the icon of each background application, namely the angle corresponding to the icon of each background application is stored.

Example 10:

in order to improve the user experience and show an icon of a fourth background application that is not shown, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:

In the embodiment of the invention, the number of icons which can be simultaneously displayed by the terminal is limited, some icons of background applications may be hidden, and when a user wants to view the icons of the background applications which are not displayed, the user can rotate the target annular display area to display the icons of the background applications which are not displayed.

When a user rotates the target annular display area, the terminal can receive a rotation operation on the target annular display area, and after receiving the rotation operation on the target annular display area, the terminal can determine a rotation angle and a rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation. The terminal may identify a start position and an end position corresponding to the rotation operation, and determine a rotation direction according to the start position and the end position, where the rotation direction may be understood as a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction, and a process of determining the rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation when the start position and the end position of the rotation operation are determined by the terminal belongs to the prior art, and is not described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention. When the terminal determines the rotation angle corresponding to the rotation operation, the rotation angle may be determined according to the start position and the end position corresponding to the rotation operation and the circle center position of the target annular display area, a connection line between the start position and the circle center position may be referred to as a first connection line, a connection between the end position and the circle center position may be referred to as a second connection line, and an included angle between the first connection line and the second connection line is the rotation angle corresponding to the rotation operation.

The angle corresponding to the icon of each background application is stored in the terminal, the terminal can determine the angle range formed by the icon of the currently displayed background application in the target annular display area according to the angle corresponding to the icon of each background application stored in advance, the currently displayed background application is called as a second background application, if a user rotates the target annular display area for the first time, the second background application may only include the first background application, and if the user does not rotate the target annular display area for the first time, the second background application may only include the second background application, or may include the first background application and the fourth background application at the same time.

And the angle range formed by the icons of the second background application currently displayed in the target annular display area is called a second angle range.

The terminal determines the second angle range, and after the rotation direction and the rotation angle are determined, the second angle range to be displayed can be determined, and specifically, whether the upper threshold value and the lower threshold value of the second angle range are increased or decreased can be determined according to whether the rotation direction is counterclockwise or clockwise, for example, the clockwise direction can be pre-saved to be increased, and the counterclockwise direction is decreased.

If the current rotation direction indicates that the upper and lower thresholds of the second angle range are increased, the upper and lower thresholds of the second angle range may be increased by the rotation angle respectively to obtain new upper and lower thresholds, and the angle range formed by the new upper and lower thresholds is determined as the third angle range to be displayed.

If the current rotation direction indicates that the upper and lower thresholds of the second angle range are decreased, the upper and lower thresholds of the first angle range may be decreased by the rotation angle, respectively, to obtain new upper and lower thresholds, and the angle range formed by the new upper and lower thresholds is determined as the third angle range to be displayed.

After the third angle range is determined, the icon of each third background application in the third angle range can be identified according to the angle corresponding to the pre-stored icon of each background application; i.e. the icon of the third background application to be presented is determined.

After the icons of the third background applications to be displayed are determined, the currently displayed icon of each second background application can be updated according to the icon of each third background application.

The icons of the third background applications can be displayed at will in the target annular display area, and preferably, the icons of the third background applications can be sequentially displayed at each display position in the target annular display area according to the angle corresponding to each icon of the third background applications, from small to large or from large to small.

In order to ensure that the terminal displays the icon of each background application according to the priority when the terminal rotates, the corresponding relationship between the angle corresponding to each position and the priority, which is pre-stored in the terminal, may be: the larger the angle corresponding to the icon is, the larger the priority of the background application corresponding to the icon is, or the larger the angle corresponding to the icon is, the smaller the priority of the background application corresponding to the icon is.

When determining the rotation angle corresponding to the rotation operation, the terminal may determine whether the rotation operation is an erroneous operation according to a preset angle threshold, and after determining the rotation angle of the rotation operation, before determining a second angle range formed by the currently displayed second background application icon in the target annular display area according to the angle in the annular area corresponding to each pre-stored icon, the method further includes:

judging whether the rotation angle is larger than a preset angle threshold value or not, and if so, performing the subsequent steps;

if not, the rotation operation is regarded as a misoperation, and the subsequent steps are not carried out.

The angle threshold may be 45 degrees.

Assuming that the terminal is arranged in the annular display areas in a top-down manner when displaying the icons of the background applications, that is, for each annular display area, the priority of the background application corresponding to the icon at the upper position is higher than the priority of the background application at the lower position, and when a user wants to display the background applications not displayed, the user can rotate the target annular display area upwards to display the icons of the background applications with lower priorities. If the priority of the background application is determined according to the time when each application is used, the later the time is used, the higher the priority of the application. As shown in fig. 2, when the terminal receives a presentation request for a background application, an icon of an application which is started later, that is, started most recently, is presented in the target annular presentation area. And the user slides the target annular display area upwards by rotating operation of more than 45 degrees, and the terminal displays the icons of the background applications with earlier starting time, namely earlier use time.

Example 11:

in order to quickly return to the initial display interface, on the basis of the above embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, the initial display interface for displaying information of the background application includes:

In the embodiment of the present invention, the angle corresponding to the icon of the application is pre-stored in the terminal, and the terminal may determine the angle range formed by the icon in the initial presentation interface according to the angle corresponding to the icon of the first application that is presented when the presentation request is received.

When the user wants to return the terminal to the initial presentation interface, the user may perform an initialization operation on the terminal, where the initialization operation is to return the terminal to the initial presentation interface, and information of the application is presented on the initial presentation interface.

Since the initialization operation is an operation for returning the terminal to the initial presentation interface, the angle range of the initial presentation interface determined by the terminal may also be the angle range corresponding to the initialization operation. The terminal may store an angle range corresponding to the initialization operation, and the angle range corresponding to the initialization operation is referred to as a first angle range.

When the terminal receives the initialization operation, for each category, determining, according to a first angle range corresponding to the initialization operation stored first and an angle corresponding to each icon, each icon of each first application of the category whose angle is within the first angle range; and updating the icon of each application displayed in the annular display area corresponding to the category according to the icon of each first application.

The terminal returns to the mode of the initial display interface according to the angle corresponding to each icon, so that the terminal can record the rotation angle and the rotation direction corresponding to each rotation operation when receiving each rotation operation, and determines the target rotation angle and the target rotation direction according to at least one rotation angle and rotation direction stored for the background application when displaying the initial display interface; and determining a new angle range to be displayed according to the angle range corresponding to the currently displayed icon and the reverse direction of the target rotation angle and the target rotation direction, and displaying each icon in the determined angle range of the message, namely each icon in the initial display interface.
