Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Because the number of applications installed on the terminal device by the user is increasing, the demand of the user for application classification management is more and more common, at present, the user generally puts the applications into a classification folder manually, but the classification method causes the user to have complicated operation and low classification efficiency.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the present disclosure provides an application program classification method.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an application classification method applied to a terminal device according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following steps S101-S104:

in step S101, an application classification instruction is received, which instructs classification management of the target application.

In step S102, an application type obtaining instruction is sent to the server, where the application obtaining instruction includes an identifier of a target application program; the application type acquisition instruction indicates an application type of the acquisition target application program.

In step S103, the application type of the target application transmitted by the server is received.

In step S104, the target application program is moved to the classification folder corresponding to the application type.

For example, if the user wants to classify the target application program, only the preset virtual button or the preset physical key needs to be clicked, after the user clicks the preset virtual button, the target application program which needs to be classified and managed is displayed on the screen of the terminal device, and after the user selects the target application program, the application classification instruction is received. The number of target applications selected by the user may be one or more, and the number of target applications is not limited by the present disclosure.

After the terminal device acquires the application classification instruction, the identifier of the target application program is carried in the application type acquisition instruction and is sent to the server, so that the server acquires the application type of the target application program according to the application type acquisition instruction.

Illustratively, when the target application program is 'WeChat', the terminal device sends an application type acquisition instruction carrying an identifier of 'WeChat' to the server, after the server acquires that the application type of the 'WeChat' is social, the application type of the 'WeChat' is social and sent to the terminal device, and after the terminal device receives that the application type of the 'WeChat' sent by the server is social, the 'WeChat' is actively moved to a classification folder of the social, so that the classification management of the 'WeChat' is realized.

When a plurality of target application programs are available, the application type of each target application program can be obtained, and then the target application programs are moved to the classification folder corresponding to the application type corresponding to the target application program

For example, when the target application is "WeChat" and "Tao", the terminal device sends an application type acquisition instruction carrying an identifier of "WeChat" and "Tao" to the server, the server acquires that the application type of "WeChat" is a social class, and after the application type of "Tao" is a social class, the application type of "WeChat" is a social class and the application type of "Tao" is a social class, the terminal device sends the terminal device the application type of "WeChat" and the application type of "Tao" as social classes, and when the terminal device receives that the application type of "WeChat" sent by the server is a social class and the application type of "Tao" is a social class, the terminal device actively moves "WeChat" to a classification folder of the social class and moves "Tao" to a classification folder of the shopping class, thereby realizing classification management of the application programs "WeChat" and "Tao" without manually moving the "WeChat" into the classification folder of the social class by the user, and the 'Taobao' is moved to a shopping classification folder, so that the user operation is effectively reduced, and the user experience is effectively improved.

By the method, automatic classification management of the target application program can be realized, a user can be helped to classify and manage the application program more conveniently, manual classification management of the user is not needed, and accordingly classification management efficiency of the application program is improved.

In one embodiment, the above step S104 includes the following sub-steps A1-A4:

in a1, it is detected whether a classification folder corresponding to the application type has been created.

In a2, when the classification folder corresponding to the created application type is detected, the target application program is moved to the classification folder corresponding to the created application type.

In a3, when it is detected that a category folder corresponding to the application type is not created, a category folder corresponding to the application type is created.

In a4, the target application is moved to the classification folder corresponding to the newly created application type.

When the application type of the target application program is determined, the target application program needs to be moved to a classification folder corresponding to the application type, at this time, whether the classification folder corresponding to the application type is established in the terminal equipment or not can be detected, and when the classification folder corresponding to the application type is detected in the terminal equipment, the target application program is directly moved to the classification folder corresponding to the established application type; when the classified folder corresponding to the application type is not created in the detection terminal device, the classified folder corresponding to the application type is created, and then the target application program is moved to the classified folder corresponding to the newly created application type.

After the target application program is moved to the classification folder corresponding to the application type, if the user is not satisfied with the current classification management, the classification can be cancelled, and the target application program is moved out of the classification folder corresponding to the application type.

For example, if the user wants to cancel the classification, a preset virtual button or a preset physical key may be clicked, and after the user clicks the preset virtual button or the preset physical key, an application classification cancellation instruction is received.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can have the following beneficial effects: if the classification is not satisfactory, the target application program can be moved out of the classification folder corresponding to the application type, so that the user experience is effectively improved.

In one embodiment, after removing the target application from the categorized folder corresponding to the application type, the method further comprises:

and when the classified folder corresponding to the application type does not detect that other applications are included, deleting the classified folder corresponding to the application type.

If the target application program is removed from the classification folder corresponding to the application type, the classification folder corresponding to the application type can be deleted if other applications are not included in the classification folder, so that the user does not need to manually delete the classification folder.

In one embodiment, the above method further comprises the following sub-steps B1-B2:

in B1, the keytone value of the icon of each application program in the classification folder corresponding to the application type is acquired.

In B2, icons of application programs whose dominant hue value difference values are preset values are placed at adjacent positions; or, the application icons with the main tone value difference value as the preset value are arranged at intervals.

After the target application programs are classified and managed, if more target application programs exist in the same classification folder, the dominant hue value of the icon of each application program can be obtained, and then the application programs are sorted based on the dominant hue value.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can have the following beneficial effects: the icons of the application programs are sorted according to the dominant hue values of the icons of the application programs, and user experience is effectively improved.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an application classification method applied to a server according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps S201 to S205:

in step S201, application classification information is acquired, and the application classification information includes: the corresponding relation between the application characteristic information and the application type; the application characteristic information includes: an application name, and/or application description information.

In step S202, an application type obtaining instruction sent by the terminal device is received, where the application obtaining instruction includes an identifier of a target application program; the application type acquisition instruction instructs the server to acquire the application type of the target application program.

In step S203, application characteristic information of the target application is acquired.

In step S204, the application type of the target application program is acquired according to the application feature information and the application classification information of the target application.

In step S205, the application type of the target application is transmitted to the terminal device.

When a target application program in the terminal equipment needs to be classified and managed, the terminal equipment sends an application type acquisition instruction to the server, wherein the application acquisition instruction comprises an identifier of the target application program; the application type obtaining instruction indicates that the application type of the target application program is obtained, and after the server obtains the application type of the target application program, the application type of the target application program is sent to the terminal device, so that the terminal device moves the target application program to a classification folder corresponding to the application type according to the application type of the target application program, and classification management of the target application program is achieved.

In the present disclosure, the application classification information may be obtained in advance and stored, after receiving the application classification instruction, the application feature information of the target application included in the application classification instruction is obtained, and the application type of the target application is obtained based on the application feature information of the target application and the previously stored application classification information.

For example, the application classification information obtained in advance is shown in table 1, where the obtained WeChat application type is social, the Cool dog application type is music, and the Taobao application type is shopping.

TABLE 1

Application characteristic information	Application type
		WeChat	Social classes
Cool dog	Music class
		Taobao (treasure made of Chinese herbal medicine)	Shopping category
…	…

The target application included in the application classification command is obtained as a pan, the application name of the pan is further obtained as "pan", and the application type of the target application is obtained as "shopping type" from table 1.

The application classification information may be selected by other users when performing application classification management, for example: and if the user A puts the application program A into the classification folder corresponding to the application type 1, recording the corresponding relation between the application characteristic information of the application program A and the classification folder corresponding to the application type 1.

It is noted that, since the local computing power and storage capacity of the terminal device are limited, in order to reduce the local computing power and storage space of the terminal device, the above steps S203-S204 can also be performed on the server side.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can have the following beneficial effects: acquiring application classification information, wherein the application classification information comprises: the corresponding relation between the application characteristic information and the application type; the application characteristic information includes: an application name, and/or application description information; receiving an application type acquisition instruction sent by terminal equipment, wherein the application acquisition instruction comprises an identifier of a target application program; the application type acquisition instruction instructs the server to acquire the application type of the target application program; acquiring application characteristic information of a target application; acquiring the application type of a target application program according to the application characteristic information and the application classification information of the target application; and sending the application type of the target application program to the terminal equipment. The server obtains the application type of the target application program and sends the application type of the target application program to the terminal device, so that the terminal device moves the target application program to the classification folder corresponding to the application type according to the application type of the target application program, classification management of the target application program is achieved, a user does not need to manually perform classification management on the application program, and classification management efficiency of the application program is improved.

In one embodiment, the step S204 includes the following substeps C1-C3:

in C1, the similarity of the application feature information of the target application and each of the application feature information in the application classification information is calculated.

In C2, the similarity greater than the preset threshold among the similarities is determined as the target similarity.

In C3, the application type in the application classification information corresponding to the target similarity is determined to be the application type of the target application program.

The above method is similar to that of the collaborative filtering algorithm. The collaborative filtering algorithm is that a small part is found out from massive users and the taste of the users is similar to that of the users, in the collaborative filtering, the users become neighbors, and then a sorted catalogue is formed according to other things which the users like as a recommendation to the users.

The method for obtaining the application type of the target application program through the collaborative filtering algorithm is similar to that in the related art, and is not described herein again.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can have the following beneficial effects: by determining the application type of the target application program through the method, the accuracy of the obtained application type of the target application program can be effectively improved.
