Step 103: a second input by the user is received.

In addition, the user can also perform a second input at the terminal device, and the terminal device can receive the second input of the user. In one example, the second input may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a click input (e.g., a single click input, a double click input, etc.), a long press input (i.e., an input in which the press duration exceeds a preset duration), a slide input, and the like.

Step 104: and in response to a second input, executing a target icon control operation associated with the second input on the first icon with the first control located at the display position of the first icon.

In the case that the first control is located at the display position of the first control and receives the second input, the execution of the control operation on the first icon may be triggered. That is, in a case where the display position of the first control is updated to the display position of the first icon in response to the first input and a second input is received, a target icon control operation associated with the second input is performed on the first icon in response to the second input.

The control operation on the target icon may include an icon scaling operation, an icon copying operation, an avatar icon (the first application of the first icon corresponds to the avatar icon of the avatar application) generating operation, an icon hiding operation, an icon deleting operation, and the like. The body-separated icon is an icon of the body-separated application, the first application and the corresponding body-separated application can achieve the same function, and the operation between the first application and the body-separated application is independent, for example, the first application can enter through a first account, the first application can operate through the first account to achieve the corresponding function, the body-separated application enters through a second account, the body-separated application can operate through the body-separated application to achieve the corresponding function, if the first application is a communication-capable application, message transmission can be conducted through the first application and the body-separated application, and therefore communication between the first account and the second account is achieved.

In the icon control method, the display position of the first control is updated through the first input of the first control, and under the condition that the first control is located at the display position of the first icon, the target icon control operation related to the second input is executed on the first icon in response to the second input of the user. The control of the first icon can be achieved according to the first input of the first control and the second input of the user, the process is simple, the setting application does not need to be opened on the terminal device, the icon is controlled in the setting application, and the user operation is facilitated.

In one embodiment, before receiving the first input of the first control by the user, the method further comprises: receiving an eighth input on the desktop of the terminal device; and responding to the eighth input, and displaying a first control on the desktop of the terminal equipment.

Under the condition of entering an operating system platform of the terminal equipment, a background displayed on a display screen of the terminal equipment is a terminal equipment desktop, and icons representing different files or functions, such as icons of folders, icons of various installed applications and the like, can be displayed on the terminal equipment desktop so as to be convenient to use. For example, the terminal device is provided with an instant messaging application, an icon of the instant messaging application can be displayed on a desktop of the terminal device, and the instant messaging application can be run by clicking the icon of the instant messaging application.

The user can perform an eighth input on the terminal device desktop, and the terminal device can display the first control on the terminal device desktop, specifically, the first control can be displayed at a preset position, in response to the eighth input, under the condition that the eighth input on the terminal device desktop is received. In an example, the eighth input may be a slide input, that is, a user may slide on a desktop of the terminal device, and the terminal device may call the first control and display the first control on the desktop in response. Optionally, the first input may be a sliding input along a preset direction, that is, a user may perform a sliding input along the preset direction on a desktop of the terminal device, that is, the first control may be called and displayed, and the user input is convenient. Optionally, the sliding input along the preset direction may be a sliding input having two first sliding tracks, that is, the corresponding times of the two first sliding tracks are the same, and the directions are both preset directions. For example, the user can simultaneously perform sliding input in the direction from the bottom to the top of the terminal device on the desktop of the terminal device by using two fingers, so that two first sliding tracks can be simultaneously generated on the terminal device, the terminal device can display the first control after receiving the sliding input, and the user can display the first control by performing the sliding input on the desktop of the terminal device, thereby facilitating the user input.

In one embodiment, receiving a first input by a user to a first control includes: a first input to a first control by a first finger of a user is received. Receiving a second input from the user, comprising: a second input is received for a second finger of the user. In response to a second input, performing a target icon control operation associated with the second input on the first icon, including: and in the case that a second input is received in the input process of the first input, responding to the second input, and executing a target icon control operation associated with the second input on the first icon. Referring to fig. 2, in this embodiment, an icon control method is provided, which is applied to a terminal device, and the method includes:

step 201: a first input to a first control by a first finger of a user is received.

The first control can be displayed on the desktop of the terminal device, a user can perform first input on the first control on the desktop of the terminal device through a first finger, and the terminal device can receive the first input of the first finger on the first control. The first input may include, but is not limited to, a slide input, and the like. The first input may also be a first operation, such as a slide operation or the like.

Step 202: in response to the first input, a display position of the first control is updated.

After receiving a first input of a first finger to a first control, the terminal equipment responds to the first input and updates the display position of the first control. For example, the first input is a slide input, and the user can slide the first control by using the first finger, that is, slide under the action of the slide input, so as to update the display position of the first control. For example, the first control is displayed at a preset position of the desktop, the first control is subjected to sliding input through a first finger of the user, and the first control can be controlled to move to another position under the sliding input, so that the display position of the first control is updated.

Step 203: a second input is received for a second finger of the user.

In addition, the user can also perform a second input on the terminal device through the second finger, and the terminal device can receive the second input of the second finger of the user. In one example, the second input may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a click input (e.g., a single click input, a double click input, etc.), a long press input (i.e., an input in which the press duration exceeds a preset duration), a slide input, and the like.

Step 204: and under the condition that the first control is positioned at the display position of the first icon and a second input is received in the input process of the first input, responding to the second input, and executing a target icon control operation associated with the second input on the first icon.

The second input is received in the input process of the first input, that is, the display position of the first control can be updated by performing the first input on the first control, so that the first control is placed at the display position of the first icon, at this time, the first input is in touch with the display position of the first icon, the first input is not released, that is, the first control is kept pressed after the first control is moved to the display position of the first icon, so that the first input continuously touches the display position of the first icon with the first control, and in the process of touching the display position of the first icon with the first input, if the second input is received, the target icon control operation associated with the second input is performed on the first icon in response to the second input. When the first control moves to the display position of the first icon and the first input is continuously touched at the display position of the first icon, if a second input on the terminal device is received, the target icon control operation related to the second input can be triggered to be executed on the first icon. The target icon control operation for the first icon corresponds to the second input, which is different, and the corresponding target icon control operation may be different. In this embodiment, the user performs the first input through the first finger and performs the second input through the second finger, so that the adjustment related to the second input on the first icon can be performed, the process is simple, the setting application does not need to be opened on the terminal device, the icon is adjusted in the setting application, and the user operation is facilitated.

In one embodiment, in response to a second input, performing a target icon control operation associated with the second input on the first icon includes: acquiring input characteristics of a second input; and executing a target icon control operation associated with the input feature of the second input on the first icon.

In this embodiment, in response to the second input, the performing of the target icon control operation associated with the second input on the first icon may be performing the target icon control operation associated with the second input on the first icon in response to the second input when the first control is located at the display position of the first icon, or performing the target icon control operation associated with the second input on the first icon in response to the second input when the first control is located at the display position of the first icon and the second input is received during the input of the first input.

The input features corresponding to different inputs are different, and the control operations associated with different input features are also different, in this embodiment, the input feature of the second input needs to be obtained; and executing target icon control operation related to the input characteristics of the second input on the first icon, and adapting the target icon control operation executed on the first icon to the input characteristics of the second input so as to improve the accuracy of the control on the first icon.

In one embodiment, the input features include at least one of an input direction, an input distance, and an input end position. The target icon control operation includes at least one of: an icon zoom operation, an icon copy operation, a split icon generation operation, an icon hiding operation, and an icon deleting operation.

That is, in a case where the first control is located at the display position of the first icon, in response to the second input, a target icon control operation associated with at least one of an input direction, an input distance, and an input end position of the second input may be determined, and the target icon control operation may be performed on the first icon, so that a control operation appropriate for at least one of the input direction, the input distance, and the input end position may be performed on the first icon, thereby improving accuracy of icon control.

In one embodiment, the input feature includes an input direction, and the target icon control operation is an icon zoom operation.

In this embodiment, performing a target icon control operation associated with an input feature of the second input on the first icon includes: acquiring a second input finger number; and under the condition that the finger number of the second input is the first preset finger number, zooming the first icon according to the input direction of the second input.

In this embodiment, an icon scaling operation on the first icon may be performed based on the input direction of the second input. In one example, the second input may be a second input to the desktop of the terminal device, that is, an input at the desktop during the second input.

In order to reduce the phenomenon that the icon is zoomed due to misoperation of a user so as to improve the accuracy of control operation on the first icon, the finger number input by the user for the second time needs to be judged, namely whether the finger number input by the user for the second time is the same as the first preset finger number is judged, if the finger number input by the user for the second time is the same as the first preset finger number, the finger number input by the user for the second time meets the requirement of zooming the icon, the first icon is zoomed according to the input direction of the second input, the accuracy of zooming the first icon is improved, otherwise, misoperation information can be prompted so as to prompt the user of misoperation, and the user can replace a correct finger to perform the second input according to the prompting information. In one example, the terminal device stores fingerprint information of each finger of the user and a corresponding finger number in advance, and when the user inputs through the finger, fingerprint identification can be performed on the finger of the user to determine the corresponding finger number. For example, if the first preset finger number is the finger number corresponding to the middle finger, and the user performs the second input through the middle finger, it may be determined that the finger number of the second input is the first preset finger number, that is, the first icon may be scaled according to the input direction of the second input.

In addition, in an example, to further ensure that the zoom control can be accurately performed, the determining the input direction, that is, zooming the first icon according to the input direction of the second input, may include: in a case where the input direction of the second input is the same as the predetermined direction, the first icon is zoomed. The method comprises the steps that whether a second input meets the requirement for zooming a first icon or not is determined through double judgment of a finger number and an input direction, and if the finger number is the first preset finger number and the input direction is the same as the preset direction, the first icon is zoomed, so that the first icon is accurately zoomed.

In one example, the first icon is zoomed, and may be a zoom-in icon or a zoom-out icon. The predetermined direction may include a first predetermined direction and a second predetermined direction opposite to the first predetermined direction, and the first icon is enlarged if the input direction of the second input is the same as the first predetermined direction, and the first icon is reduced if the input direction of the second input is the same as the second predetermined direction. The user can adjust the size of the icon only by performing corresponding operation on the terminal, so that the user operation is facilitated.

For example, the first control can be moved to the display position of the first icon with an index finger without releasing the index finger, and the first icon can be enlarged if slid in a first predetermined direction by the middle finger. If the middle finger slides along the second preset direction, the first icon can be reduced, namely the first icon is zoomed.

In one embodiment, the second input is an input to the first icon, the input characteristic includes an input direction and an input distance, and the target icon control operation is an icon copy operation.

In this embodiment, performing a target icon control operation associated with an input feature of the second input on the first icon includes: acquiring a second input finger number; and under the condition that the second input finger number is a second preset finger number, the input direction is the same as the first preset direction and the input distance is greater than the first preset distance, copying the first icon, and generating and displaying a second icon.

In this embodiment, an icon copying operation for the first icon may be performed based on the input direction and the input distance of the second input, that is, the first icon may be copied. In one example, the second input may be a second input to the first icon, i.e., an input to the first icon during the second input.

In order to reduce the copying of the icon caused by the misoperation of the user and improve the accuracy of the control operation of the first icon, the finger number, the input direction and the input distance which are input by the user for the second time need to be judged, namely whether the finger number input by the user for the second time is the same as the second preset finger number, whether the input direction is the same as the first preset direction and whether the input distance is greater than the first preset distance are judged, if the finger number input by the user for the second time is met, namely the finger number input by the user for the second time is the second preset finger number, and the input direction is the same as the first preset direction and the input distance is greater than the first preset distance, the requirement of the copying operation is met, the first icon is copied, and the accuracy of the copying of the first icon is improved. Otherwise, the misoperation information can be prompted to prompt the user of misoperation, and the user can replace the correct finger to perform the second input according to the prompting information.

For example, the first control can be moved to the display position of the first icon by using the middle finger, the middle finger is not loosened, the first icon is dragged by the index finger along the first preset direction for a distance exceeding a first preset distance, the first icon can be copied, the second icon is generated, and the second icon is displayed on the desktop of the terminal device.

In one example, the terminal device stores fingerprint information of each finger of the user and a corresponding finger number in advance, and when the user inputs through the finger, fingerprint identification can be performed on the finger of the user to determine the corresponding finger number. For example, the second preset finger number is a finger number corresponding to the index finger, and the user performs a second input through the index finger, so that the second input finger number can be determined to be the second preset finger number, the input direction of the second input is the first preset direction, and the input distance is greater than the first preset distance, and the first icon can be copied to obtain a second icon, that is, the second icon is the same as the application corresponding to the first icon. The user can operate the first icon or the second icon subsequently to open the same application, so that the user can open the application through the first icon or the second icon without being limited to one icon, the user can operate the icon conveniently, the requirement of the user on the icon can be met, and the flexibility of icon operation is improved. In one embodiment, the first predetermined direction may be the same as the second predetermined direction.

In one embodiment, the second input is an input to the first icon, the input characteristics include an input direction and an input distance, and the target icon control operation is a split icon generation operation.

In this embodiment, performing a target icon control operation associated with an input feature of the second input on the first icon includes: acquiring a second input finger number; and generating and displaying the body-splitting icon corresponding to the first icon under the condition that the second input finger number is a second preset finger number, the input direction is the same as the second preset direction and the input distance is greater than the second preset distance.

In this embodiment, the icon generating operation for the first icon may be performed based on the input direction and the input distance of the second input, that is, the duplicate icon may be generated for the first icon. In one example, the second input may be a second input to the first icon, i.e., an input to the first icon during the second input.

In order to reduce the generation of the body-divided icon of the first icon caused by the misoperation of the user and improve the accuracy of the control operation of the first icon, the finger number, the input direction and the input distance which are input by the user for the second time need to be judged, namely whether the finger number input by the user for the second time is the same as the second preset finger number, whether the input direction is the same as the second preset direction and whether the input distance is greater than the second preset distance are judged, if the finger number input by the user for the second time, the input direction and the input distance are the second preset finger number, the input direction is the same as the second preset direction and the input distance is greater than the second preset distance, the body-divided icon corresponding to the first icon is generated and displayed on the desktop of the terminal equipment, so that the accuracy of the body-divided icon generated by the first icon is improved, and may facilitate the user in launching the personal application. Otherwise, the misoperation information can be prompted to prompt the user of misoperation, and the user can replace the correct finger to perform the second input according to the prompting information. For example, the second preset finger number is a finger number corresponding to the index finger, and the user performs a second input through the index finger, so that the second input finger number can be determined to be the second preset finger number, the input direction of the second input is a second preset direction, and the input distance is greater than the second preset distance, that is, the body-splitting icon corresponding to the first icon is generated.

The body-separated icon is an icon of a body-separated application corresponding to the application of the first icon, the application of the first icon and the body-separated application can be independently and simultaneously operated on the terminal equipment, and the function is not affected in the operation process. For example, for the instant messaging application, the user can log in by using the first account, can chat with a friend corresponding to the first account after logging in, can log in by using the second account for the split application corresponding to the instant messaging application, and can chat with a friend corresponding to the second account after logging in. Therefore, different requirements of users can be met. In one example, the second predetermined direction may be opposite to the first predetermined direction, so that the first predetermined direction related to the icon copying operation can be distinguished, and the user operation is facilitated.

For example, the first icon may be moved to the display position of the first icon by using the middle finger, without releasing the middle finger, and the first icon is dragged by the index finger along the second preset direction for a distance exceeding the second preset distance, so that the body-divided icon of the first icon may be generated and displayed, and the user may operate through the body-divided icon, start the body-divided application, and perform corresponding operation on the body-divided application.

In one embodiment, the input features include an input direction and an input end position, and the target icon control operation is an icon hiding operation.

In this embodiment, performing a target icon control operation associated with an input feature of the second input on the first icon includes: acquiring a second input finger number; and hiding the icon of the target application under the condition that the finger number of the second input is a third preset finger number, the input direction is the same as the third preset direction, and the input ending position is positioned in the first preset area.

In this embodiment, the first icon may be hidden. In one example, the second input may be a second input to the first icon, i.e., an input to the first icon during the second input.

In order to reduce the hidden first icon caused by the misoperation of the user and improve the accuracy of the control operation on the first icon, the finger number, the input direction and the input end position which are input by the user for the second time need to be judged, namely whether the finger number input by the user for the second time is the same as the third preset finger number, whether the input direction is the same as the third preset direction and whether the input end position is positioned in the first preset area are judged, if all the finger number input by the user for the second time is met, namely the finger number input by the user for the second time is the third preset finger number, the input direction is the same as the third preset direction and the input end position is positioned in the first preset area, the finger number input by the user for the second time, the input direction and the input end position all accord with the requirements of the hidden icon operation, the first icon is hidden, the accuracy of the first icon is improved, and the situation that more icons are arranged on the desktop of the terminal equipment can be avoided, the difficulty of searching the icon by the user is reduced. Otherwise, the misoperation information can be prompted to prompt the user of misoperation, and the user can replace the correct finger to perform the second input according to the prompting information. For example, if the third preset finger number is the finger number corresponding to the index finger, and the user performs the second input through the index finger, it may be determined that the second input finger number is the third preset finger number, and the input direction of the second input is the third preset direction, and the input end position is located in the first preset area, so that the first icon may be hidden.

For example, the first control can be moved to the display position of the first icon by using a thumb, the thumb is not released, and the first icon can be hidden by sliding the index finger to the third preset direction of the screen and sliding the index finger into the first preset area. In addition, after the first icon is hidden, if the first control is pressed again and slides along the direction opposite to the third preset direction from the end position of the first preset area sliding along the third preset direction, the display of the first icon can be resumed. If there are multiple hidden icons, all hidden icons can be restored, and the last hidden icon can also be restored.

In one example, the third predetermined direction is perpendicular to the first predetermined direction or the second predetermined direction. Therefore, the first preset direction related to the icon copying operation and the second preset direction related to the icon generating and saving operation can be distinguished, and the operation of a user is facilitated.

In one embodiment, the input features include an input direction and an input end position, and the target icon control operation is an icon deletion operation.

In this embodiment, performing a target icon control operation associated with an input feature of the second input on the first icon includes: acquiring a second input finger number; and deleting the icon of the target application under the condition that the finger number of the second input is a third preset finger number, the input direction is the same as the fourth preset direction, and the input end position is positioned in a second preset area.

In this embodiment, the first icon may be deleted. In one example, the second input may be a second input to the first icon, i.e., an input to the first icon during the second input.

In order to reduce the deletion of the first icon caused by the misoperation of the user and improve the accuracy of the control operation on the first icon, the finger number, the input direction and the input end position of the user for the second input are judged, namely whether the finger number of the second input is the same as the third preset finger number, whether the input direction is the same as the fourth preset direction and whether the input end position is positioned in the second preset area are judged, if all the conditions are met, namely the finger number of the second input is the third preset finger number, the input direction is the same as the fourth preset direction and the input end position is positioned in the second preset area, the icon number, the input direction and the input end position of the second input are all in accordance with the requirement of the deletion operation, the first icon is deleted, the accuracy of the deletion of the first icon is improved, and the situation that more icons are arranged on the desktop of the terminal equipment can be avoided, the difficulty of searching the icon on the desktop by the user is reduced. Otherwise, the misoperation information can be prompted to prompt the user of misoperation, and the user can replace the correct finger to perform the second input according to the prompting information. For example, if the third preset finger number is the finger number corresponding to the index finger, and the user performs the second input through the index finger, it may be determined that the second input finger number is the third preset finger number, the input direction of the second input is the fourth preset direction, and the input end position is located in the second preset area, so that the first icon may be deleted.

For example, the first control can be moved to the display position of the first icon by using a thumb, and the first icon is deleted by sliding the index finger to the fourth preset direction of the screen and sliding the index finger into the second preset area without releasing the thumb.

In one example, the fourth preset direction may be opposite to the third preset direction. Therefore, the third preset direction related to the icon hiding operation can be distinguished, and the operation of a user is facilitated. The second preset area may be opposite to the first preset area, so that a user may conveniently operate.

In one embodiment, after the target icon control operation associated with the second input is performed on the first icon, the method further includes: receiving a third input to the first control; responding to a third input, copying the first control to obtain a second control and displaying the second control; receiving a fourth input of the second control by the user; updating a display position of a second control in response to a fourth input; and under the condition that the second control is positioned at the display position of the second icon, executing target icon control operation on the second icon.

It can be understood that a second control corresponding to the first control can be copied and displayed on the desktop of the terminal device, and the second control has the same function as the first control and is used for triggering execution of control operation on the icon. And receiving a fourth input to the second control, updating the display position of the second control, and executing target icon control operation on the second icon under the condition that the second control is located at the display position of the second icon. Performing the target icon control operation on the second icon is similar to the process described above for performing the target icon control operation on the first icon, except that the icon is different, here the second icon. And updating the display position of the first control to the display position of the first icon, and updating the display position of the second control to the display position of the second icon, so that the target icon control operation can be simultaneously performed on the first icon and the second icon. For example, the first icon and the second icon are simultaneously enlarged, etc. The control of a plurality of icons can be faster, and the requirements of users for using the terminal equipment under more scenes are met. In one example, the third input and the fourth input may include, but are not limited to, a slide input, and the like. The third input and the fourth input may also be corresponding third operation and fourth operation, for example, a slide operation or the like.

For example, a copy control, i.e., the second control, may be copied by pressing the first control and moving the first control by a third predetermined distance. The target icon control operation can be carried out on the icons through the copy controls, so that the target icon control operation can be carried out on the icons of N applications through the N copy controls, and the requirement of a user for carrying out simultaneous control on the icons is met.

In one embodiment, after the target icon control operation associated with the second input is performed on the first icon, the method further includes: receiving a fifth input of the first control by the user; updating the display position of the first control in response to a fifth input; and under the condition that the first control is located at the display position of the third icon, executing target icon control operation on the third icon.

Namely, after the target icon control operation is carried out on the first icon, the display position of the first control can be updated, and the icon for executing the target icon control operation is updated by updating the display position of the first control. The fifth input can be carried out on the first control, and the terminal equipment receives the fifth input of the user on the first control; updating the display position of the first control in response to a fifth input; and under the condition that the first control is located at the display position of the third icon, executing target icon control operation on the third icon. Performing the target icon control operation on the third icon is similar to the process described above for performing the target icon control operation on the first icon, except that the icon is different, here the third icon. In one example, the fifth input may include, but is not limited to, a slide input, and the like. The fifth input may also be a fifth operation, for example, a slide operation or the like.

In one embodiment, after the target icon control operation associated with the second input is performed on the first icon, the method further includes: receiving a sixth input to the first control; and in response to a sixth input, canceling at least one target icon control operation on the first icon within a first preset time range.

After the target icon control operation is performed on the first icon in the terminal device, the user may need to cancel the target icon control operation on the first icon. In this embodiment, a cancel function of the operation is provided, after the target icon control is performed on the first icon, the user may perform a sixth input on the first control, and in response to the sixth input, cancel at least one target icon control operation on the first icon within the first preset time range. The first preset time range may be a preset time range before an input time of the sixth input. The method can meet the requirement of a user on the adjustment cancellation, and improves the flexibility of icon control. In one example, the canceling of the at least one target icon control operation on the first icon within the first preset time range may be canceling a target icon control operation on the first icon closest to an input time of the sixth input within the first preset time range. In one example, the sixth input may include, but is not limited to, a slide input, and the like. The sixth input may also be a sixth operation, for example, a slide operation or the like.

For example, the last target icon control operation may be cancelled by simultaneously sliding the first control in two hand points in a third preset direction. For example, if the last target icon control operation is an icon deletion operation for the first icon, the icon deletion operation for the first icon is cancelled, and the display of the first icon is resumed on the desktop of the terminal device.

In one example, the input direction of the sixth input is opposite to the fourth preset direction, so that the operation is convenient for the user. In one example, the sixth input may be a sliding input that generates two third sliding tracks at the same time, that is, the two third sliding tracks correspond to the same time and have opposite directions to the fourth preset direction. For example, a user can perform sliding input on the first control on the desktop of the terminal device by using two fingers, so that two third sliding tracks can be generated at the same time at the terminal device, and after receiving the sliding input, the terminal device can cancel the target icon control operation performed on the first icon, which is closest to the input time of the sixth input, so that the user operation is facilitated.

In one embodiment, after the target icon control operation associated with the second input is performed on the first icon, the method further includes: receiving a seventh input to the first control; and in response to a seventh input, repeatedly executing at least one target icon control operation on the first icon within a second preset time range.

After performing the target icon control operation on the first icon in the terminal device, the user may need to repeat the target icon control operation on the first icon. In this embodiment, a repeat function of operations is provided, after the target icon control is performed on the first icon, the user may perform a seventh input on the first control, and in response to the seventh input, repeat at least one target icon control operation on the first icon within a second preset time range. The second preset time range may be a preset time range before the input time of the seventh input. The requirement of the user on repeated adjustment can be met, and the flexibility of icon control is improved. In one example, repeating the target icon control operation on the first icon at least once within the second preset time range may be repeating the target icon control operation on the first icon closest to the input time of the seventh input within the second preset time range. In one example, the seventh input may include, but is not limited to, a slide input, or the like. The seventh input may also be a seventh operation, such as a slide operation or the like.

For example, the last target icon control operation may be repeated by simultaneously sliding the first control in two hand points to a fourth preset direction, for example, the last target icon control operation is an icon copy operation on the first icon, and then the first icon copy may be repeated.

In one example, the input direction of the seventh input is opposite to the third preset direction, so that the operation of the user is convenient. In one example, the seventh input may be a slide input that generates two fourth slide tracks at the same time, that is, the two fourth slide tracks correspond to the same time and are both opposite to the third preset direction. For example, the user may perform sliding input on the first control on the desktop of the terminal device by using two fingers, so that two fourth sliding tracks may be generated at the same time at the terminal device, and after the terminal device receives the sliding input, the target icon control operation performed on the first icon, which is closest to the input time of the seventh input, may be repeated, thereby facilitating the user operation.

In one example, repeatedly performing at least one target icon control operation on the first icon within a second preset time range includes: and if the at least one target icon control operation comprises an icon hiding operation and an icon deleting operation, repeatedly executing a first target icon control operation on the first icon within a second preset time range, wherein the first target icon control operation is an operation except the icon hiding operation and the icon deleting operation in the at least one target icon control operation. And if the first target icon control operation does not exist, giving prompt information. For example, if the at least one target icon control operation of the first icon in the second preset time range is an icon hiding operation, a hidden prompt is given, and if the at least one target icon control operation is an icon deleting operation, a deleted prompt is given.

In one embodiment, the method further comprises: and receiving a ninth input to the first control, and in the case that a tenth input of the user is received in the input process of the ninth input, restoring the display of the hidden icon in response to the tenth input.

The hidden icon may exist in the terminal device, the first control is displayed on the terminal device, and the user can perform a tenth input on the desktop of the terminal device under the condition that a ninth input is performed on the first control, so that the hidden icon can be displayed on the desktop of the terminal device again. In one example, the ninth input may be a press input, and the touch (press) of the ninth input to the first control ends after the touch terminal device of the tenth input, that is, in a case where the touch of the ninth input continues, the tenth input is performed. The accurate response of the terminal equipment can be ensured, and the recovery display of the icon is realized. In one example, the direction of the tenth input may be opposite to the third preset direction. Therefore, the third preset direction related to the icon hiding operation can be distinguished, and the operation of a user is facilitated. In one example, the tenth input may include, but is not limited to, a slide input, and the like. The tenth input may also be a tenth operation, for example, a slide operation or the like.

In one embodiment, restoring the hidden icon to display in response to the tenth input includes: and in response to the tenth input, restoring the display of the icon with the hidden time closest to the input time of the tenth input. That is, in the present embodiment, only the display of the icon whose hiding time is the latest is resumed at a time to meet the user's demand.

In one embodiment, the method further comprises: in a case where an eleventh input by the user is received, the target control is closed.

If the control operation of the icon through the first control is completed, the user can close the first control. In this embodiment, the user may perform a tenth input on the terminal device desktop to close the first control, that is, the terminal desktop does not display the first control.

For example, the user may simultaneously slide from the top of the terminal device to the bottom of the terminal device with two fingers, i.e., the first control may be closed.

In one example, the input direction of the eleventh input is opposite to the preset direction corresponding to the first control being called out, and may be a sliding input. Namely, the first control can be closed by performing the sliding input on the desktop of the terminal equipment, and the operation of a user is convenient. In one example, the eleventh input may be a sliding input that generates two second sliding trajectories simultaneously, that is, the two second sliding trajectories correspond to the same time and both directions are opposite to the preset direction. For example, the user can perform sliding operation in the direction from the top to the top of the terminal device on the desktop of the terminal device by using two fingers, so that two second sliding tracks can be generated at the terminal device at the same time, the terminal device can close the first control after receiving the sliding operation, and the user can close the first control by performing the sliding operation on the desktop of the terminal device, thereby facilitating the user operation.

The following describes the process of the above icon control method in detail with specific embodiments.

First, entering a desktop of the terminal device, as shown in fig. 3, the user uses two fingers to slide from the bottom of the terminal device to the top direction at the same time, and calls out the operation control 301, i.e. the first control.

Then, the icon may be enlarged, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the operation control 301 may be moved to the display position of the first icon (for example, the time icon 401 in fig. 4) desired to be enlarged by using the index finger, at which time, without releasing the index finger, the icon is enlarged by the terminal device if the middle finger is simultaneously slid in the first predetermined direction, and the icon is reduced by the terminal device if the middle finger is simultaneously slid in the second predetermined direction.

As shown in fig. 5, the middle finger can be used to move the operation control 301 to the display position of the first icon (for example, icon C in fig. 5) that is desired to be copied, and at this time, without releasing the middle finger, the index finger drags the first icon out along the first preset direction by the first preset distance, and then a shortcut of the first icon is copied, so as to obtain a copied icon of the first target application, and the copied icon is displayed on the desktop of the terminal device.

As shown in fig. 6, the operation control 301 may be moved to a display position of a first icon (for example, icon C in fig. 6) for which the avatar icon is desired to be generated by using the middle finger, and the avatar icon of the first icon is generated by dragging the first icon in a second preset direction for a second preset distance without releasing the middle finger.

As shown in fig. 7, the operation control 301 can be moved to the display position of the first icon (for example, icon C in fig. 7) to be hidden by using the thumb, and at this time, without releasing the thumb, the index finger slides to the third preset direction of the screen, and in the case of sliding into the first preset area, the first icon is hidden. In addition, if the operation control is pressed and slides in the direction opposite to the third preset direction from the end position of the sliding in the third preset direction in the first preset area, the display of the first icon is resumed. If there are multiple hidden icons, all hidden icons can be restored, and the last hidden icon can also be restored.

As shown in fig. 8, the operation control 301 can be moved to the display position of the first icon (for example, icon C in fig. 8) to be hidden by using the thumb, and at this time, without releasing the thumb, the index finger is slid to the fourth preset direction of the screen, and in the case of sliding into the second preset area, the first icon is deleted.

As shown in fig. 9, the control 301 can be operated by two middle pointing operations, and simultaneously slid toward the third preset direction, so that the last target icon control operation can be cancelled. For example, if the last target icon control operation is an icon deletion operation for the icon C, the icon deletion operation for the icon C is cancelled, and the display of the icon C is resumed on the desktop of the terminal device.

As shown in fig. 10, the last target icon control operation, such as repeatedly copying and displaying the icon C in fig. 10, can be repeated by simultaneously sliding the control 301 in the fourth preset direction with two middle-pointing operations.

Through the process, the icons can be adjusted, the operation is more convenient, and the experience that the user uses the desktop icons of the terminal equipment is improved.

As shown in fig. 11, after the operation control is displayed, the operation control 301 may be pressed and moved a third preset distance from the operation control 301, so that a copy control, i.e., a second control 302, may be copied. The target icon control operation can be performed on the icon through the second control 302, and thus, the target icon control operation can be performed on the icons of the N applications through the N copy controls at the same time. As shown in fig. 11, the index finger moves the operation control 301 to the position of the time icon 401 that is desired to be enlarged, at this time, without releasing the index finger, the thumb moves the operation control 301 by the third preset distance at the same time, and copies a second control 302 having the same function as the operation control 301, and applies the second control 302 to the corresponding icon, thereby adjusting the icon. For example, in fig. 11, moving the second icon 302 to icon B, the time icon and icon B may be enlarged together, and other control operations are similar. Therefore, the control of multiple applications can be more rapid, and the requirements of users on using the terminal equipment under more scenes are met.

As shown in fig. 12, the user can slide from the top of the terminal device to the bottom of the terminal device by using two fingers to complete the operation, and the operation control can be closed.
