Detailed Description

The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

In order to simplify the step of searching for the APP by the user and reduce the time for starting the APP, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus, a storage medium, and an electronic device for starting an application program, so as to simplify the operation of searching for an application icon by the user, reduce the time for starting the APP, and improve the experience of the user using the terminal.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for starting an application according to an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the steps of:

step S11: when an event that unlocking on the terminal is successful is detected, controlling a display screen of the terminal to display an interface of an application icon set, wherein the application icon set comprises a plurality of application icons corresponding to application programs which are determined in advance and started on the terminal in a priority mode;

step S12: marking an application program corresponding to an application icon positioned at a preset position in an interface of the application icon set as an application program to be started;

step S13: obtaining a confirmation operation input by a user, wherein the confirmation operation represents that the application program corresponding to the application icon positioned at the preset position is confirmed to be started;

step S14: and starting the application program corresponding to the application icon positioned at the preset position.

In order to protect the privacy of the user and avoid the information leakage of the user, a screen protection function is usually required to be set in a terminal (such as a mobile phone, a computer, etc.), when the user does not use the terminal, the terminal is in a screen locking state, and when the terminal with the locked screen is used, the terminal needs to be unlocked. The method for unlocking the terminal by the user can be as follows: password unlocking, pattern unlocking, fingerprint unlocking, voice unlocking, face unlocking and the like. It should be noted that the above unlocking manner is well known to those skilled in the art, and is not described herein again, and in addition, the manner of unlocking the terminal in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited.

Specifically, when an event that the unlocking on the terminal is successful is detected in step S11, that is, when the terminal detects that the password, pattern, fingerprint, voice, or face information, etc. input by the user in the unlocking area match the unlocking password, unlocking pattern, unlocking fingerprint, unlocking voice, or unlocking face information pre-stored in the terminal, an interface of an application icon set is displayed in the display screen of the terminal, where the application icon set includes a plurality of application icons corresponding to application programs preferentially started on the terminal, and the operation of starting an application program includes both an operation of switching an application program from an un-running state to a running state and an operation of switching the interface of the terminal to one of application program interfaces running in the background.

For example, the operation of switching the wechat application from the non-running state to the running state may be referred to as starting the wechat application, and the operation of switching the interface of the terminal to the wechat application interface that has been running in the background may also be referred to as starting the wechat application.

Optionally, the application icon set is in the shape of a disk, the center of the disk is consistent with the position of the fingerprint identification area on the display screen, and the application icons are sequentially arranged at the boundary of the disk.

When the application icon set is in the shape of a disk, the center position of the disk is consistent with the position of the fingerprint identification area on the display screen of the terminal, and the application icons are sequentially arranged at the boundary position of the disk, for example, please refer to fig. 2, where fig. 2 is a schematic view of an interface of the application icon set displayed in the display screen of the terminal according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the application icon set is in the shape of a disk, a circular shaded area in the figure is a fingerprint identification area on a display screen, the circular shaded area is located at the center of the disk, and a plurality of application icons are respectively WeChat, Tencent, Aiqiyi, Mei Tuo, headline, shared bicycle, Paibao, drip-drop vehicle and map, which are sequentially arranged at the boundary of the disk. When the terminal is unlocked, the fingerprint to be identified may be a thumb or any finger, which is not limited in this disclosure.

It should be noted that, the shape of the application icon set may also be a polygon shape, a circular shape, even a chain bead string, and so on, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure, where it is considered that when the fingerprint recognition is finished, the finger corresponding to the fingerprint is still at the fingerprint recognition area of the terminal, and if the interface of the icon set is displayed near the finger, the finger may not leave the fingerprint recognition area, and the application icon in the interface of the application icon set may be directly controlled, so that the center position of the application icon set may be consistent with the position of the fingerprint recognition area on the display screen.

Optionally, when the shape of the application icon set is a polygon, the number of application icons included in the application icon set may be the same as the number of sides of the polygon, for example: when the shape of the application icon set is pentagonal, the number of application icons included in the application icon set may be five, and when the shape of the application icon set is octagonal, the number of application icons included in the application icon set may be eight, and so on. It should be noted that the number of the application icons included in the application icon set may also be different from the number of the polygon edges, and is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Considering that the interface of the application icon set is displayed in the display screen of the terminal when the terminal detects an unlocking success event and the user can operate the application icons in the application icon set through fingers, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the display position of the interface of the application icon set in the display screen of the terminal is determined according to the number of fingers touching the surface of the terminal screen when the user unlocks.

Specifically, when an event that unlocking on the terminal is successful is detected, the number of fingers detected by a display screen of the terminal is determined, after the number of fingers is determined, the position of the interface of the application icon set displayed in the display screen of the terminal is determined according to the number of fingers, and the interface of the application icon set is controlled to be displayed at the display position. The technology for determining the number of fingers detected by the display screen by the terminal is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, according to the number of fingers, one possible implementation manner of determining a position of the interface of the application icon set displayed in the display screen of the terminal is as follows: and when the number of the fingers is 1, controlling the interface of the application icon set to be completely displayed in the display screen range of the terminal, and controlling the center position of the interface of the application icon set to be close to the position of the fingers on the display screen.

When the number of the detected fingers is 1, the user is indicated to unlock the terminal through a fingerprint unlocking mode, and a fingerprint unlocking area of the terminal is located in a display screen of the terminal, that is, the terminal is a front fingerprint unlocking terminal, at this time, in order to facilitate the user to directly select an application program to be started through the operation of the fingers in the display screen after the unlocking is successful, the center position of the interface of the application icon set can be controlled to be close to the position of the fingers in the display screen, that is, the application icons contained in the application icon set are displayed around the fingers, and when the unlocking is successful, the user can start the application program which the user wants to open through the operation of the fingers.

It should be noted that, in consideration of the fact that the number of application icons that can be displayed in the interface of the application icon set is limited, and a user sometimes needs to select from all application programs downloaded in the terminal to select an application program that the user wants to open, in addition to displaying the application icons, the interface of the application icon set provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may also display one or more combined icons, where the combined icons are used to store other application icons that are not currently displayed in the interface of the application icon set.

Exemplarily, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is another schematic diagram of an interface of an application icon set displayed in a display screen of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, when the fingerprint recognition is successful, an interface of the application icon set is displayed in a display screen of the terminal. The circle located at the finger in the figure is the fingerprint identification position of the terminal, and assuming that the application icon set is in a circular shape, the application icons in the clockwise direction from the position right above the fingerprint identification position in the application icon set are: WeChat, combined icon, Egqi art, beauty group, headline, sharing bicycle, Paibao, drip-and-shoot, map. The 9 application icons are sequentially arranged with the fingerprint identification position as the center, wherein the combined icon may include a plurality of application icons.

Another possible implementation manner of determining the position of the interface of the application icon set displayed in the display screen of the terminal according to the number of the fingers is as follows: and when the number of the fingers is 0, controlling the application icon set to be displayed below the terminal display screen.

In general, when the number of fingers is 0, it indicates that the unlocking manner of the terminal may be voice unlocking, face unlocking, or fingerprint unlocking but the fingerprint unlocking area is not on the display screen of the terminal (for example, the terminal is a rear fingerprint unlocking terminal or a side fingerprint unlocking terminal), and at this time, the set of controllable application icons is displayed below the display screen of the terminal.

Another possible implementation manner of determining the position of the interface of the application icon set displayed in the display screen of the terminal according to the number of fingers is as follows: when the number of the fingers is multiple, controlling the application icon set to be displayed below the terminal display screen, or controlling the terminal display screen to display a main interface of the terminal, or controlling the terminal display screen to display an interface of an application program started when the terminal is turned off.

When an event that the terminal is successfully unlocked is detected, displaying an interface of the application icon set in a display screen of the terminal according to the mode, and marking an application program corresponding to an application icon located at a preset position in the interface of the application program set as an application program to be started.

The interface of the application icon set provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes, in addition to application icons corresponding to a plurality of predetermined application programs, a preset position that is set in advance, where an application icon located in the preset position is in a lighted state and may be an application icon corresponding to an application program that a user wants to start, and therefore, the application program corresponding to the application icon located in the preset position may be marked as an application program to be started, where the preset position may be set by the user according to a habit of holding a mobile phone by the user, or may be set when the terminal leaves a factory, and may be any position in the interface of the application icon set.

As described above, the application icon set includes a plurality of application icons, and the sequence of the application icons in the application icon set is according to a preset rule, where the preset rule may be: at least one of the number of times the application program corresponding to each of the plurality of application icons is started, the number of unread messages of the application program corresponding to each of the plurality of application icons, and user-defined settings.

One possible implementation: the application program starting frequency on the terminal can reflect whether the user frequently uses the application program, and when the application program starting frequency is high, the application program is represented as the application program frequently used by the user, so that the application icons corresponding to the application programs can be sorted according to whether the application program frequently used by the user, therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the preset rule can be the number of times that the application program corresponding to each application icon in the application icons is started, and therefore, the application icons included in the application icon set can be sorted according to the number of times that the application program corresponding to each application icon is started.

Specifically, the number of times that the application programs are started on the terminal is counted within a preset time period (for example, 1 month, 3 months, and the like), and the application programs with the larger number of times that are started are the application programs commonly used by the user of the terminal, that is, when the user successfully unlocks, the probability that the user wants to open the application programs is higher, so that, in order to quickly open the application programs that the user wants to open when the unlocking is successful, the application icons corresponding to the application programs commonly used by the user can be placed at a position closer to the preset position in the interface of the application icon set, so as to further reduce the time for starting the application programs.

For example, please refer to fig. 4A, where fig. 4A is another schematic diagram of an interface of an application icon set displayed in a display screen of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The preset position is right above the fingerprint identification area of the terminal, for example, at the rectangular position in fig. 4A, it is assumed that the result of counting the number of times that the application icon is started within 1 month by the terminal is as follows: the WeChat is started 68 times, the Payment baby is started 56 times, the Aichi art is started 34 times, the map is started 28 times, the drip-drop car is started 12 times, the sharing bicycle is started 16 times, the head bar is started 9 times, the Mei Tuan is started 5 times, the application icon corresponding to the application icon which is started the most times can be placed at the preset position in the interface of the application icon set due to the high probability that the application program corresponding to the application icon is started by the user, therefore, the icon of the WeChat can be placed at the preset position, the application icons of the Payment baby and the Aichi art are respectively placed at the left side and the right side which are closest to the preset position, the map and the application icon of the drip-drop car are sequentially placed behind the application icon of the Payment baby and the Aichi art, then the application icons of the sharing bicycle and the head bar, and finally the application icon and the combination icon of the Mei Tuan.

Another possible implementation: after the user successfully unlocks the mobile phone, the user may want to start the application program with a large amount of unread information, and therefore, the application icons may be sorted according to the amount of the unread information included in the application icons.

Specifically, when an event that the unlocking of the terminal is successful is detected, the quantity of unread information of each application program in the application programs contained in the terminal is counted, and the application program with the larger quantity of unread information may be the application program that the user wants to start when the unlocking is successful.

Another possible implementation: and the user presets the arrangement sequence of the application icons in a setting interface of the terminal according to the preference of the user.

It should be noted that the preset rule referred to for sorting the plurality of application icons may also be any two or three combinations of the above three embodiments, for example, the preset rule may be a combination of the number of times that the application program is started and the number of unread messages of the application program, or a user may define and set a sorting of the top N application icons, and then sort the icons according to the number of times that the application program is started or the number of unread messages, and so on. No particular limitation is imposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that the combined icon displayed in fig. 3, 4A, and 4B includes a plurality of application icons, where the plurality of application icons may be sorted in the combined icon according to the preset rule.

After the application program corresponding to the application icon located at the preset position is marked as an application program to be started, the terminal cannot directly start the application program, and a confirmation operation needs to be obtained, where the confirmation operation is used to characterize and confirm that the application program corresponding to the application icon located at the preset position is started.

Optionally, the operation of obtaining confirmation of user input includes:

Obtaining the clicking operation of a user for the display screen; or

As described above, the confirmation operation may be a voice start instruction input by the user, or a click operation on the display screen, or an operation of stopping the touch terminal, and therefore, the confirmation operation for obtaining the user input may be: obtaining a voice starting instruction input by a user and aiming at an application icon located at a preset position, for example: if the application icon at the preset position is WeChat, the voice starting instruction can be 'start WeChat' and the like; the confirmation operation to obtain the user input may also be: obtaining a click operation of a user on a display screen, specifically: after the user successfully unlocks the terminal through voice or human face, the user can see that an application icon corresponding to an application program which the user wants to open is located at a preset position in a screen of the terminal, and can click the screen of the terminal.

In view of the fact that most of existing terminals have a fingerprint identification function, a user can unlock the terminal in a fingerprint unlocking manner, and therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the confirmation operation for obtaining the user input may further be: obtaining the operation that the user keeps touching the terminal or stops touching after continuously sliding, namely the operation that the user releases the finger from the terminal after continuously touching the terminal, or stopping the sliding operation after the user continuously slides the terminal, specifically, the fingerprint identification area according to the terminal can be located in the display screen of the terminal, or can be located on the back, side or home key position of the terminal, when the fingerprint recognition area is located at the back side or side of the terminal or the home key position of the terminal, the confirmation operation of the user input may be an operation in which the user releases the finger from the terminal after continuously touching or continuously sliding the terminal, when the fingerprint recognition area is located in the display screen of the terminal, the confirmation operation of the user input may be an operation in which the user releases the finger from the display screen after continuously touching or continuously sliding the display screen.

The continuous touch action of the user can be an action for controlling the movement of the application icons in the interface of the application icon set, so that the application icons in the application icon set continuously move along with the continuous touch of the user on the terminal to change the application icons located at the preset positions.

And finally, after obtaining at least one confirmation operation input by the user, starting the application program corresponding to the application icon at the preset position by the terminal.

For example, please refer to fig. 4B, where fig. 4B is a schematic diagram of a user input confirmation operation provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. When the terminal is successfully unlocked, displaying an interface shown in fig. 4A in a display screen of the terminal, assuming that an application program of the WeChat corresponding to the application icon located at a preset position in the interface shown in fig. 4A is an application program that a user wants to open, the user will input a confirmation operation, assuming that the confirmation operation input by the user is an operation of releasing a finger from the display screen, and controlling the application program of the WeChat corresponding to the application icon located at the preset position to start when the terminal detects that the finger of the user is moved away from a fingerprint identification area of the terminal, as shown in fig. 4B.

By adopting the technical scheme, when an event that unlocking on the terminal is successful is detected, an interface of an application icon set is displayed in a display screen of the terminal, the application icon set comprises a plurality of predetermined application icons corresponding to application programs preferentially started on the terminal, the application programs corresponding to the application icons located at the preset positions in the interface of the application icon set are marked as application programs to be started, and the application programs corresponding to the application icons located at the preset positions are started when a confirmation operation input by a user is obtained.

Optionally, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is another flowchart of a method for starting an application according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, before step S14 in fig. 1, the method further includes the steps of:

step S15: detecting touch operation of a user on application programs corresponding to other application icons except the application icon at the preset position in an interface of an application icon set within a preset time period;

step S16: when the touch operation is detected, starting an application program corresponding to the touch operation;

accordingly, step S14 includes:

step S141: and when the touch operation is not detected, starting an application program corresponding to the application icon at the preset position.

In view of that an interface of an application icon set displayed by a terminal includes a plurality of application programs when a user successfully unlocks, if an application icon corresponding to an application program that the user wants to open is already displayed in the interface of the application icon set, the user may directly click the application icon corresponding to the application program to start the application program, and therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, before starting the application program corresponding to the application icon located at a preset position, it is further required to detect whether the user manually clicks other application icons except the application icon located at the preset position, that is, to detect a touch operation of the user for the application program corresponding to the application icon other than the application icon located at the preset position in the application icon set, where the touch operation represents an operation of starting the application program corresponding to the application icon.

When the touch operation is detected, it indicates that the user wants to start the application program corresponding to the touch operation, and therefore, the terminal may start the application program corresponding to the touch operation instead of the application program corresponding to the application icon located at the preset position. When the touch operation is not detected, it indicates that the user wants to start the application program corresponding to the application icon located at the preset position, and therefore, the terminal controls the application program corresponding to the application icon located at the preset position to start.

By adopting the technical scheme, the touch operation of the user for other application icons is detected in a preset time period before the application program corresponding to the application icon at the preset position is started, wherein the other application icons are application icons except the application icon at the preset position, when the touch operation is detected, the application program corresponding to the touch operation is controlled to be started, and when the touch operation is not detected, the application program corresponding to the application icon at the preset position is controlled to be started, so that the mode of starting the application program is flexible, and the requirements of the user are met.

Optionally, please refer to fig. 6, where fig. 6 is another flowchart of a method for starting an application according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, the method further comprises the steps of:

step S17: when the confirmation operation input by the user is not obtained, obtaining an operation instruction of the user;

step S18: determining the moving direction of the application icons in the application icon set according to the operation instruction of the user;

step S19: and controlling the application icons in the application icon set to move according to the moving direction.

In practical application, after the terminal is successfully unlocked, the application icon at the preset position in the interface of the application icon set may not be the application icon corresponding to the application program that the user wants to start, and the user needs to control the application icon in the interface of the application icon set to move, so that the application icon corresponding to the application program that the user wants to start moves to the preset position. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of application icons located in the interface of the application icon set may be moved according to the needs of the user.

Specifically, after the terminal is successfully unlocked, when a user sees that an application icon located at a preset position is not an application icon corresponding to an application program that the user wants to start from a display screen of the terminal, a confirmation operation is not input, and when the confirmation operation input by the user is not detected by the terminal, whether the user inputs an operation instruction can be detected, where the operation instruction is an instruction for the user to control the application program in an interface of an application icon set to move, and the operation instruction can be an action instruction or a voice instruction.

When the operation instruction is an action instruction, the user may set in advance an action for controlling the movement of the application icon in the application icon set in the terminal, for example: the application icons in the interface of the application icon set may be controlled to move clockwise when the user's finger slides clockwise on the screen, and to move counterclockwise when the user's finger slides counterclockwise on the screen, or the application icons in the interface of the application icon set may be controlled to move upward when the finger slides upward on the screen, and so on. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the relationship between the preset action and the moving direction of the application icon in the interface of the application icon set is not limited.

Similarly, when the operation command is a voice command, the user is also required to set a voice for controlling the movement of the application icons in the application icon set in the terminal in advance, for example: it may be set that when the user inputs the voice of "move up", the application icon in the interface of the set of control application icons moves up, and when the voice of "move down", the application icon in the interface of the set of control application icons moves down, or when the voice of "move left", the application icon in the interface of the set of control application icons moves left, and when the voice of "move right" is input, the application icon in the interface of the set of control application icons moves right, and so on. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the relationship between the preset voice and the moving direction of the application icon in the interface of the application icon set is not limited.

According to the above manner, a relationship (hereinafter referred to as a preset corresponding relationship) between a moving direction of an application icon in an interface of an application icon set and an operation instruction is preset, and when an operation instruction input by a user is obtained, the moving direction of the application icon in the interface of the application icon set can be determined according to the operation instruction and the preset corresponding relationship, and the application icon in the application icon set is controlled to move according to the moving direction. In addition, the speed of the movement of the application icons in the application icon set can be controlled by the speed of the finger of the user sliding on the screen and the speed of the voice input of the user, for example, when the finger of the user moves fast in the screen, the application icons in the application icon set are controlled to move fast, and when the finger of the user moves slow in the screen, the application icons in the application icon set are controlled to move slowly.

For example, please refer to fig. 4C, fig. 4C is a schematic diagram illustrating a user finger sliding on a fingerprint identification area to control an application icon to move according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Assuming that the application program that the user wants to open is a map, when the terminal successfully identifies the fingerprint of the user, that is, when the terminal successfully unlocks, an interface as shown in fig. 4A is displayed in a screen of the terminal, in order to move the application icon of the map to the preset position in fig. 4A, as shown in fig. 4C, a finger may slide clockwise in a direction indicated by an arrow in 4C in the fingerprint identification area of the terminal, control the application icons in the application icon set to slide clockwise, further move the application icon of the map to the preset position (as shown in fig. 4C), and then, when the application icon of the map is moved to the preset position, the user inputs a confirmation operation to start the map.

Considering that a plurality of application programs can be downloaded in an existing terminal, even if a combination icon is provided in an interface of an application icon set, since the number of application icons included in the combination icon is limited, application icons corresponding to all application programs in the terminal cannot be sequentially displayed for a user to select, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the interface of the application icon set is divided into three parts, which are: the icon display method includes the steps that an icon display area, a transferred-out icon set area and an icon to be transferred area are displayed, wherein the icon display area is used for representing an area displaying application icons corresponding to application programs, the transferred-out icon set area and the icon to be transferred area are used for storing the application icons transferred out of the icon display area or storing the application icons not transferred into the icon display area, the transferred-out icon set area and the icon to be transferred area can be represented by icons of a certain identification set or icons of an ellipsis number, or can be represented by a set of application icons corresponding to some application programs, and the method is not limited in the embodiment of the disclosure. It should be noted that the specific roles of the rolled-out icon set region and the to-be-rolled-in icon set region are related to the moving direction of the application icon in the interface of the application icon set.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a moving direction of an application icon in an interface of an application icon set is divided into a first direction and a second direction, where the first direction is any direction in which the application icon moves in the interface, and the second direction is a direction opposite to the first direction, for example, if the first direction is a clockwise direction, the second direction is a counterclockwise direction.

When the moving direction is a first direction, that is, the application icon at the preset position is moved from the preset position to the transferred icon set region, at this time, the application icon at the preset position is sequentially moved to the transferred icon set region, wherein the application icon moved to the transferred icon set region may or may not display an icon in the region, and meanwhile, since one application icon in the displayed icon region is moved to the transferred icon set region, a position is left in the displayed icon region, so that the application icon to be transferred to the icon set region can be controlled to sequentially move from the region to the displayed icon region according to a first preset rule, wherein the first preset rule can be set by the user in a customized manner, or according to the frequency of starting the application program corresponding to each application icon in the region, or the amount of unread information in the respective application icons, etc.

Correspondingly, when the moving direction is the second direction, the application icons located in the icon display area are sequentially moved into the icon collection area to be transferred, and meanwhile, the application icons in the icon collection area that have been transferred out are sequentially moved from the area to the preset positions in the icon display area according to a second preset rule, where the second preset rule may be set by the user in a self-defined manner, or may be set according to the frequency of starting the application programs corresponding to each application icon in the area, or the number of unread messages in each application icon, or the like.

For example, please refer to fig. 7A, fig. 7A is another schematic diagram of an interface of an application icon set displayed in a display screen of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 7A, the application icons displayed in the display icon area are respectively: WeChat, Payment treasure, map, sharing bicycle, beauty group, head bar, drip and play vehicle, wherein the rectangular area with the ellipsis icon is used for representing the transferred icon set area, and the circular area with the ellipsis icon is used for representing the to-be-transferred icon set area. Assuming that the first direction is a direction in which the application icon moves clockwise in the interface, the second direction is a direction in which the application icon moves counterclockwise in the interface.

When the finger of the user slides at the fingerprint identification area of the terminal, the application icon in the interface correspondingly moves, and the application icon located at the preset position is about to leave the preset position. For example, please refer to fig. 7B, fig. 7B is a schematic diagram of a clockwise movement of the sliding control application icon of the user finger at the fingerprint identification area according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Assuming that when the user's finger slides clockwise in the direction of the arrow shown in fig. 7B, the application icons correspondingly move clockwise in the interface, as shown in fig. 7B, the WeChat located at the preset position in fig. 7A is moved to the icon set area that has been rotated out, and the other application icons move clockwise in turn, and at the same time, one application icon (Aiqi art) located in the icon set area to be rotated into is moved to the display icon area, that is, the position where the drip vehicle is located in fig. 7A.

For example, please refer to fig. 7C, fig. 7C is a schematic diagram of a user's finger sliding the control application icon at the fingerprint identification area to move counterclockwise according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 7C, when the user's finger slides counterclockwise in the direction of the arrow shown in fig. 7C, accordingly, the application icons also move counterclockwise in the interface, as shown in fig. 7C, the WeChat located at the preset position in fig. 7A is moved to the position of the Payment treasure in fig. 7A, the other application icons move counterclockwise in turn, the dripping car in fig. 7A is moved to the area to be transferred into the icon collection area, and at the same time, one icon (flight message) located in the transferred icon collection area is moved to the preset position in the display icon area, that is, the position of the WeChat currently located in fig. 7A.

By adopting the technical scheme, considering that the number of application programs on the terminal is large and the application programs cannot be completely displayed in the interface, the interface of the application icon set is divided into three areas: the icon area, the icon set area to be transferred and the icon set area transferred out are displayed, in the process that the user controls the movement of the application icons to select, the application icons which are determined by the user not to be started can be sequentially moved into the icon set area transferred out, meanwhile, the application icons which are not selected by the user can be transferred out from the icon set area to be transferred for the user to select, and therefore the experience of the user using the terminal is improved.
