Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of an object display control method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and is applied to an electronic device.

The method provided by the embodiment of the invention is used for carrying out display control on the object in the electronic equipment.

The object may be an icon, file, picture, label (i.e., control), etc. The icon may be an icon related to an application or an icon related to other data.

When the object is an icon related to an application, the object may be an icon of a single application or a folder icon accommodating a plurality of application icons. For the convenience of the reader to understand the present invention, the following description takes the controlled object as an application icon as an example, and when the object is an object of other types, the method is similar, and is not described in detail.

The object display control method may include a step of hiding an icon, and when the icon is hidden, the icon to be hidden is mainly triggered by dragging the icon to be hidden to an icon that does not need to be hidden, which will be described in detail later.

The method shown in fig. 1 may specifically include the following steps:

step 101, receiving a first input of a user to a first object;

wherein the first input may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: single click input, long press input, double click input, slide input, and the like; also, the first input may also be a first operation.

In one example, the first object is an icon of APP1 in an icon interface of the electronic device.

In addition, the implementation manner of any one of the first input to the sixth input in each embodiment of the present invention is not limited, and may be a single click input, a sliding input, a long press input, and the like, which is not described in detail below.

Step 102, responding to the first input, and displaying the target object under the condition that the first input feature of the first input is a preset input feature and the object associated with the first object comprises the target object.

The first input may have first input features, and the first input features may include a specific implementation manner of the first input, a biometric feature of the first input, and the like.

In addition, the embodiment of the present invention may establish the association relationship between different objects in advance, and therefore, if the first object has a target object established in advance to be associated therewith, the target object may be displayed here.

It should be noted that, before step 101, the target object is in a hidden state.

In addition, the number of the target objects may be one or more, and the target object is an object having an association relationship with the first object.

Optionally, before step 101, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention may include: and establishing an association relation for different objects.

Specifically, the application needing to hide the icon associated with the object may be set for the application not needing to hide the icon, and in the association relationship, the association relationship between the application not needing to hide the icon and the application needing to hide the icon may be one-to-many, many-to-one, or one-to-one.

In one example, fig. 2A, 2B, and 2C illustrate a number of diagrams of generating an association.

For example, if a user wants to hide an icon of APP2 and an icon of APP3, then the two applications may be associated with an application that does not need to hide the icons. In this example, an interface for hiding applications may be entered in a system setting of an electronic device and an icon of APP1 is selected in the interface, thereby presenting an interface as shown in fig. 2A, the interface of fig. 2A including an application name 21 (here APP1) and a button 22 labeled "associated application"; the user then clicks on button 22 in the interface of fig. 2A to set an APP1 with an application associated therewith that needs to be hidden; next, an authentication interface may be displayed as shown in FIG. 2B, including a combination keypad 23 (here, the numbers 1-9), an "OK" button 24, and an "exchange fingerprinting" button 25. The user may enter a password by operating the password keypad 23 and then click the ok button to trigger authentication. Alternatively, the user may click the "change fingerprint identification" button 25 to switch the authentication mode from password authentication to fingerprint authentication, and then the user inputs fingerprint information in a preset area of the electronic device to trigger the authentication. After the authentication passes, the system may display an interface associated with the application as shown in FIG. 2C. In fig. 2C, an application list formed by names of applications of the installed electronic device with non-hidden icons other than the APP1 may be displayed, for example, the application names here include APP2, APP3, APP4, APP 5; and, each application name in the interface of fig. 2C is also displayed with a button 26, in this example, the user selects the button 26 corresponding to APP2 from the list and selects the button 26 corresponding to APP3, so as to generate the interface as shown in fig. 2C, the text displayed by the button 26 corresponding to APP2 is modified from "associated" to "associated"; similarly, the text displayed by the button 26 corresponding to the APP3 is modified from "associated" to "associated", so that the APP1 establishes a one-to-many association relationship with the

APPs

2 and 3.

Optionally, before step 101, the target object is in a hidden state.

In one embodiment, when the target object is displayed, if the object associated with the first object only includes the target object, the target object in the hidden state may be directly displayed;

in another embodiment, when displaying the target object, if the object associated with the first object comprises at least two target objects, i.e. in case the first object is associated with at least two target objects, a floating window is displayed, said floating window comprising said at least two target objects.

In one example, as shown in fig. 3A and 3B, the first object is an icon 31 of APP1 in the desktop interface in fig. 3A, and the user can press the icon 31 of APP1 in the desktop shown in fig. 3A for a long time, and after the fingerprint information input by the long time passes the identity authentication, a floating window as shown in fig. 3B, here an interface including a folder 32, is displayed in the folder 32 with icons of applications associated with the APP1 and the icons are hidden in the desktop (i.e., here at least two target objects, such as the icon 34 of APP2 and the icon 35 of APP3, have been hidden in a hidden state by the method of the embodiment of the present invention).

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the at least two target objects associated with the first object are displayed in response to the first input, the floating window may be displayed, and the at least two target objects are displayed in the floating window, so that the at least two target objects associated with the first object may be displayed in the floating window even if the at least two target objects are in the hidden state, thereby implementing control over display of the at least two target objects associated with the first object, and facilitating a user to operate the target objects in the hidden state.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 3B, the interface including the folder 32 further includes an icon 33 marked with "add", and the user may enter the setting interface of fig. 2A by clicking the icon 33, so as to generate or adjust the association relationship of the APP 1.

Optionally, after displaying the floating window, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

receiving a second input of a user to a first target object of the at least two target objects;

in one example, as shown in fig. 3B, if the user needs to restore the icon 34 (here, the first target object) of APP2 in the hidden state to the display state, a long press input may be triggered to the icon of APP2 in fig. 3B, and the system may display a deletion flag in the upper right corner of the icon of APP2, and the user clicks the deletion flag.

In response to the second input, moving the first target object out of the floating window and releasing the first association relationship between the first target object and the first object.

After the user clicks the delete mark, the method of the embodiment of the present invention may move the icon 34 of the APP2 out of the folder 32, and optionally may move the icon 34 of the APP2 to a first original position in the desktop for separate display, where the first original position is a position where the first target object is located before the hiding operation is performed (i.e., the display state is switched to the hidden state). Then, the relationship between APP2 and APP1 is released.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the first target object in the hidden state can be restored to the display state by triggering the second input to the target object in the hidden state and restored to the display state, so that the first target object is independently displayed in the desktop, and the convenience and the safety of the restoration operation of the hidden object are improved.

In addition, by authenticating the fingerprint information of the second input, the probability that others find the application hidden in the desktop can be reduced.

Optionally, the user may also delete the association between APP2 and APP1 by operating the association in the system setting, so that the icon 34 of APP2 is displayed in the desktop again.

Optionally, before step 101, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

receiving a third input of the first object and the target object from the user; and establishing a first association relation among the first object, the fingerprint information corresponding to the third input and the target object, and hiding the target object.

In one example, the third input may be an input dragging the target object to within a preset range of the first object.

In the example shown in fig. 4A, the first object is icon 41 of APP1, the target object is icon 42 of APP2, and the third input may be a slide input dragging icon 42 over icon 41. Specifically, as shown in the desktop interface of fig. 4A, the user may receive the third input by long-pressing the icon 42 of APP2 that needs to be hidden in the desktop and dragging it over the icon 41 of APP 1.

Wherein, in response to the third input, a first association relationship between the APP1 (i.e. the first object) and the APP2 (i.e. the target object) may be established, and also fingerprint information of the third input may be associated with the first association relationship, and the icon 42 of the APP2 may be hidden.

In addition, in this embodiment, the preset input features of step 102 may include: the fingerprint information corresponding to the first input is a first preset fingerprint, and the first input is a press input.

The first preset fingerprint is fingerprint information of a third input in the first association relation.

That is, after hiding the target object (here, the icon 42 of the APP2) by using the method of the present embodiment, the user can perform a press input on the icon 41 of the APP1 that is associated with the APP2, and trigger the first input by using the same fingerprint information as when the first association is established, so that the icon 42 of the APP2 that is hidden can be displayed. However, it should be noted that, in the display, only the user with the right displays the target object hidden before the user, but other users cannot display the hidden target object, so the target object is still marked as a hidden state.

In the embodiment of the present invention, by receiving a third input to the first object and the target object, the first association relationship between the fingerprint information corresponding to the first object and the third input and the target object can be established, and the target object is hidden, so that when the hidden target object needs to be restored and displayed, a user can perform a pressing input to the first object associated with the target object, and perform the pressing input by using the fingerprint information used in the hiding, so that the input characteristic of the pressing input is a preset input characteristic, and the target object in a hidden state can be displayed, thereby not only hiding the object, but also restoring and displaying the hidden object, and the fingerprint information used in the hiding and restoring display must be the same, so that it can be ensured that the same object is hidden and restored and displayed by the same user, secure control of the target object is ensured.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, when an application in which an icon is hidden needs to be run for use, a user may perform a first input on a display icon associated with the hidden icon by using fingerprint information when the icon is hidden, so that the hidden icon associated with the display icon is displayed in a folder again. The hidden function of the icon is opened outwards, but except the user who hides the icon, other people cannot find the hidden application in the desktop without depending on the fingerprint information of the user, and the privacy of the application is improved. The icon is hidden in a mode of associating the application, so that the icon hiding capacity is higher, and the identification is more accurate.

The user can realize the hiding operation of the icon needing to be hidden by dragging the icon needing to be hidden in the desktop to be above another icon, so that the icon needing to be hidden is not displayed in the desktop any more, and only the displayed icon associated with the icon is displayed.

Optionally, after fig. 4A, before the icon 42 is hidden, a prompt interface 43 shown in fig. 4B may also be displayed to prompt the user whether to hide the icon of the APP2, and if the user clicks the "yes" button 44, a desktop interface as shown in fig. 4C is displayed, so that the icon 41 and the icon 42 are originally displayed in the desktop interface, and now only the icon 41 as shown in fig. 4C is displayed, where the icon 42 is hidden, that is, the icon 42 of the APP2 is switched from the display state to the hidden state.

Optionally, in another embodiment, when the association relationship between two objects is established and one of the objects is hidden, the method may further be implemented by the following steps 201 to 204, where the following steps 201 to 204 are performed before step 101:

step 201, receiving a fourth input of the target object by the user;

fig. 5 shows two icons of applications in the desktop interface, i.e. an icon 51 of APP1, an icon 52 of APP2, for example, if the user wants to hide the icon 52 of APP2, the icon 52 of APP2 in fig. 5 may be slid in the arrow sliding direction shown in fig. 5, so as to receive a fourth input to the target object, i.e. the icon 52 of APP2 here.

Before transparency adjustment is carried out on the icons in the desktop, the transparency of each icon in the desktop is the same, namely, the transparency is 0%, namely, the icons are all opaque. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to hide the target object, here, an icon of an application in the desktop, the hiding may be implemented by means of transparency. As shown in fig. 5, the transparency of the icon 51 is 0%. The transparency of the icon 52 is also 0% before step 201.

Step 202, in response to the fourth input, adjusting the target object from a first transparency to a second transparency;

for example, as shown in fig. 5, the transparency of the icon can be adjusted by sliding the icon up and down in the longitudinal direction of the electronic device.

Then after receiving this fourth input, an adjustment of transparency, e.g., from 0% transparency (i.e., first transparency) to 70% transparency (i.e., second transparency), may be made to the icon of APP2 to be hidden in the desktop, without requiring the icon of APP1 to remain at 0% transparency in the original state.

The effect of step 202 is to make the transparency of the first object and the target object different.

Step 203, receiving a fifth input that the user drags the target object to the first object within a preset range;

after adjusting the transparency, as shown in fig. 5, the icon 52 may be dragged within a preset range of the icon 51, for example, above, so that the fifth input may be received.

Step 204, in response to the fifth input, establishing the first object, fingerprint information corresponding to the fifth input, a third transparency of the first object, the second transparency, and a second association relationship between the target objects, and hiding the target objects.

Wherein an association relationship between the APP1 and the APP2 can be established in response to the fifth input, and the association relationship is also associated with fingerprint information of the fifth input; further, since the association is achieved by adjusting the transparency, the association here is also associated with the third transparency (here, 0% transparency) of the icon of APP1, and the second transparency (here, 70% transparency) of the icon of APP2 (specifically, the second association of APP 1-0% transparency to APP 2-70% transparency to the fingerprint information of the fifth input).

Here, the transparency of the icon 52 of the APP2 is higher than that of the icon 51 of the APP1, the icon 52 of the APP2 with lower transparency (i.e., the target object here) may be hidden, so as to present a desktop interface as shown in fig. 4C, so that two icons, namely the icon 51 and the icon 52, shown in fig. 5 are displayed in the original desktop interface, and only the icon 41(51) of the APP1 shown in fig. 4C is displayed.

It should be noted that, in the example shown in fig. 5, the object with high transparency is hidden from among the two objects. However, in other embodiments, the object with low transparency may be hidden, and the first transparency of the target object may not be 0% before the fourth input for adjusting transparency is triggered, and the size relationship between the first transparency and the second transparency is not limited as long as the two are different.

For example, before the fourth input is received, the transparency of the icon 51 is 80%, the transparency of the icon 52 is 10%, and by the fourth input, the transparency of the icon 52 is increased from 10% transparency to 70% transparency, for example, if the preset hiding condition is to hide an object with higher transparency, then after the fifth input is received, the icon 51 with higher transparency is hidden.

Optionally, in any of the above embodiments, after hiding the target object, the target object may be marked as hidden.

In addition, in this embodiment, the preset input features of step 102 may include: the fingerprint information corresponding to the first input is a second preset fingerprint, and the first input is a sliding input;

and the second preset fingerprint is the fingerprint information input in the fifth incidence relation.

That is, after hiding the target object (here, the icon 52 of the APP2) by using the method of the present embodiment, the user can make a sliding input on the icon 51 of the APP1 associated with the APP2, and trigger the sliding input by using the same fingerprint information (i.e., the second preset fingerprint information) as that when the second association relationship is established, so that the icon 52 of the APP2 that is hidden can be displayed. However, it should be noted that, in the display, only the user with the right displays the target object hidden before the user, but other users cannot display the hidden target object, so the target object is still marked as a hidden state.

In the embodiment of the present invention, by receiving a fourth input to the target object, the transparency of the target object may be adjusted, and then, by receiving a fifth input dragging the target object to a preset range of the first object, a second association relationship between the first object and fingerprint information corresponding to the fifth input, the target object, and the transparencies of the two objects may be established, and hiding of the target object is achieved. When the hidden target object needs to be restored and displayed, the user can perform sliding input on the first object associated with the target object and perform the sliding input by using the fingerprint information used during hiding, so that the input characteristic of the sliding input is the preset input characteristic, the target object in the hidden state can be displayed, the object can be hidden, the hidden object can be restored and displayed, the fingerprint information adopted for hiding and restoring and displaying can be the same, the same user can be ensured to hide and restore and display the same object, and the safety control of the target object is ensured. One object of two objects with different transparencies is hidden by adjusting the transparencies of the objects, so that the hiding and displaying of the objects are more controllable. Moreover, by making the transparency of the two objects different and dragging one of the objects to the preset range content of the other object, the hiding of one of the objects can be realized, and the conflict with other sequences of the objects in the conventional technology is reduced.

Optionally, when the first object is associated with N target objects, N is an integer greater than 1;

then the transparency of the N target objects may be obtained when the step of displaying the target objects is performed; and selecting a second target object from the N target objects to display based on the sliding direction of the first input and the transparencies of the N target objects.

That is, the first object is associated with a plurality of target objects, and the target objects are all hidden, that is, in a hidden state, so that when the target objects are displayed, the transparency of each target object can be obtained; and then selecting one object from the N target objects according to the sliding direction of the first input and the transparencies of the N target objects to be displayed as a second target object. When the second target object is displayed, the displayed first object may be switched to the second target object.

It should be noted that the sliding direction of the first input here is a sliding direction different from the transparency of the adjustment object, for example, in the example of fig. 5, the sliding direction of the adjustment object is a length direction of a screen of the electronic device, and then the sliding direction of the first input here is a width direction of the screen of the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when there are at least two target objects associated with a first object, which target object of the N target objects is to be used as a second target object for display may be determined according to the sliding direction of the first object and the transparency of each target object, and after the user memorizes the transparency of each object, the user knows how to slide the first object to display the second target object, so that the learning cost is lower for the user.

Optionally, when the step of selecting a second target object from the N target objects to display based on the sliding direction of the first input and the transparency of the N target objects is performed, the following steps may be performed:

under the condition that the sliding direction of the first input is a first direction, selecting a target object with higher transparency than the first object from the N target objects as a second target object;

in one example, as shown in fig. 6, the first object is APP1, and the N target objects associated with the first object include two target objects, APP2 and APP 3.

Fig. 6 shows the icon 61 of the APP1, in order to display the icon of the application associated with APP1 and hidden, the user may slide the icon 61 to the left, for example, the pre-established association relationship is that APP 1-0% transparency is associated with: APP 2-70% transparency-fingerprint 1, APP 3-80% transparency-fingerprint 2. Here, the first direction is leftward sliding, then the two target objects are APP2 and APP3, obviously, the transparency ranks of the three APPs (APP1, APP2, APP3) are 0%, 70%, and 80% in sequence, and therefore, APP2 corresponding to 70% transparency which is arranged after 0% and has transparency higher than that of APP1 can be selected as the second target object, and therefore, by leftward sliding the icon 61, switching is made from the left diagram to the middle diagram in fig. 6, so that the position where the icon 61 is displayed as the icon 62;

similarly, again triggering a first input to icon 61, icon 63 (corresponding to APP3) may be displayed.

For example, by default, sliding left indicates switching the icons of the displayed applications in order of the transparency from small to large.

Of course, for example, the APP2 icon 62 after switching the display may have a transparency of 70% as an actual transparency, or may have a system default transparency of 0%; the icons for APP3 are displayed in a similar manner.

And under the condition that the sliding direction of the first input is a second direction, selecting a target object with lower transparency than the first object from the N target objects as a second target object.

For example, if the sliding direction is rightward sliding, and if the first object is the icon 62 in fig. 6, for example, sliding the icon 62 rightward, the displayed icon 62 may be switched to the icon 61 with lower transparency.

The leftward sliding and the rightward sliding are both width directions of the screen of the electronic device, the first direction is leftward sliding, and the second direction is rightward sliding.

For example, by default, sliding to the right indicates switching the icons of the displayed applications in order of transparency from large to small.

In order to distinguish the sliding direction of the sliding input for adjusting the transparency, the sliding in the left-right direction may be used as a trigger for restoring the display of the hidden object.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the hidden target object needs to be operated and the target object is restored to be displayed, a sliding input in a first direction or a sliding input in a second direction for a first application associated with the target object may be received, so as to switch and display a position where the first object is displayed to a next target object with higher transparency or lower transparency, which is convenient for restoring and displaying the hidden target object. In addition, compared with the technical scheme of restoring and displaying the hidden object by adopting the floating window mode of the embodiment, the scheme of the embodiment of the invention can restore and display the corresponding hidden object only by sliding the displayed object in the first direction or the second direction, so that the user can conveniently memorize and slide for several times to display the target object to be displayed, and the learning cost is lower for the user.

Optionally, after step 102, the method according to an embodiment of the present invention may further adjust the transparency of the target object.

The method specifically comprises the following steps: receiving a second sliding input to an icon in the desktop, and if a second sliding direction of the second sliding input is a preset direction (here, a length direction of a screen of the electronic device) if fingerprint information corresponding to the second sliding input is a preset fingerprint, adjusting the transparency of the icon according to the second sliding direction in response to the second sliding input.

Optionally, before receiving the second sliding input, the icon may be in the editing state by pressing a certain icon to be hidden, and then when the icon in the editing state is slid up and down, a corresponding sliding input may be received, so as to adjust the transparency of the icon.

When adjusting the transparency, the specific increase and decrease of the transparency may be positively correlated with the sliding displacement and/or the sliding speed, and will not be described herein again.

It should be noted that, when the icon of APP2 is hidden in the manner of step 103, instead of displaying the icons of APP1 and APP2 in an overlapping manner at the position of the APP1 icon, the icon of APP2 is not displayed on the desktop, but information of icon transparency, for example, 70%, is recorded in the background for APP 2.

Therefore, the fingerprint for adjusting the transparency can be used for realizing the hiding operation of the icon with the adjusted transparency, and the authority control of icon hiding is realized.

Optionally, by adjusting the transparency of the object, the object in the hidden state can be restored to the display state, and the corresponding association relationship is released. Specifically, after step 102, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include: receiving a sixth input of the target object by the user; in response to the sixth input, adjusting the target object from the second transparency to the first transparency and releasing the second association.

As shown in fig. 7, for example, if the target object is the icon 63 of the APP3, the icon 63 in the left diagram of fig. 7 may be slid in the screen length direction, for example, if the icon 63 is slid downward in the arrow sliding direction shown in fig. 7, a sixth input may be received, and then, the transparency of the icon 63 is reduced from 80% transparency to 0% transparency, so that the association relationship between the APP3 and the APP1 corresponding to the icon 63 may be released. The first transparency here is the transparency of the target object before switching from the display state to the hidden state.

In addition, as shown in the right diagram of fig. 7, the icon 63 of the APP3 may also be displayed separately on the desktop. While the position of the icon 63 displaying the APP3 in the left diagram in fig. 7 is restored to display the first object, i.e., the icon 61 of the APP1, the position of the icon 63 of the APP3 displayed separately is different from the position of the icon 61 of the APP 1.

The embodiment of the invention can adjust the transparency of the target object which is restored to be displayed to the transparency before being hidden, thereby achieving the purpose of restoring the hidden target object to be in the display state, enabling the hidden target object to be displayed independently, and improving the convenience and the safety of the restoration operation of the hidden object.

By means of the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the hiding operation of the object can be easily realized, and the hiding of the object has authority limit by means of the preset fingerprint, so that the privacy of the access to the object is improved, the number of displayed objects is reduced by effectively hiding the object, and the object sorting is convenient. And the object is hidden, so that the probability of the object being touched by mistake is lower under the condition that a plurality of objects are arranged, the privacy of the hidden object is improved, and the object is hidden through the associated object, so that the user operation is easier.

Optionally, when the first object is an object of a first application and the target object is an object of a second application, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

receiving a request sent by the first application program for requesting to access the second application program;

authorizing access by the first application to the second application if the object associated with the first object comprises a target object.

For example, the first application is APP1, the applications associated with APP1 include APP2 and APP3, during running APP1, if some business operations of APP1 require that the user authorize APP1 to access APP2 (for example, login APP2 using login information of APP2), a request for accessing APP2 sent by APP1 may be received, and it is obvious that the candidate applications include APP2, that is, APP1 and APP2 have an association relationship established in advance, so that APP1 does not need to prompt the user according to a conventional method to allow authorized APP1 to log in APP2, but directly responds to the request, authorize APP1 to allow access to APP2, for example, obtain user login information of APP2 to log in APP 2.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the association relationship is established for different application programs, which is equivalent to the authorization for mutual access to two applications having an association, when a certain application requests to access another application, it is not necessary for the user to jump to another corresponding application interface for authorization, for example, during the use of APP1, authorization login of APP2 is required, and here, the user is not prompted to provide authorization, but authorization can be directly obtained according to whether two applications have an association or not, in the presence of an association. The authorization links among the applications are reduced, and the operation of the user is simplified.

In addition, as described above, the icon in any embodiment of the present disclosure may be an icon of a single application, or may be a folder icon including multiple applications, and therefore, by adopting the technical solution of any embodiment of the present disclosure, operations of hiding a group of applications, resuming display after hiding, and restoring from a hidden state to a display state separately displayed in a desktop may also be implemented.

For the scheme of setting transparency to hide the icons, when the operated target object is a folder icon, transparency adjustment is performed on each application icon in the folder icon when the transparency of the target icon is adjusted, and the adjusted transparencies are the same; when the displayed icon is slid left and right to switch the hidden icon to be displayed, for example, to switch to display a folder icon, a folder including a plurality of application icons for marking a hidden state is directly displayed. The process of operating the folder icon in the method of the other embodiment is also similar to the above-exemplified operation process of the icon of the single application, and reference is made to the above, and details are not repeated here.
