Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the icon processing method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be a terminal device. The terminal device may be a mobile terminal device or a non-mobile terminal device. For example, the mobile terminal device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm top computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal device may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine or a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited.

An execution main body of the icon processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be the electronic device, or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the icon processing method in the electronic device, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes an electronic device as an example to exemplarily describe the icon processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

Generally, an electronic device may include a plurality of icon interfaces, each of which may display a plurality of icons, and a user may input an icon to trigger the electronic device to run an application corresponding to the icon.

In the embodiment of the invention, a user can input N first icons in the electronic equipment, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and after the electronic equipment receives the input, the electronic equipment can cancel displaying the N first icons and display a second icon. The second icon comprises N sub-icons, one sub-icon is used for indicating an application program corresponding to the first icon, and the N sub-icons comprise target sub-icons. After that, the user may input the target sub-icon, and after receiving the input, the electronic device may execute a processing action corresponding to the target sub-icon. Through the scheme, the electronic equipment can cancel displaying the N first icons and display the second icon comprising the N sub-icons, namely the N sub-icons replace the N first icons, and compared with the N first icons, the second icon comprising the N sub-icons occupies one icon position, so that the target interface can display more icons, and a user can conveniently and quickly find the icons in the target interface.

The following describes an icon processing method and an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an icon processing method. The method can be applied to electronic devices. The method may include S201 to S204 described below.

S201, the electronic equipment receives first input of N first icons in the target interface.

Wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

It should be noted that the electronic device may include a plurality of interfaces displaying the application icon, and the target interface may be any one of the plurality of interfaces displaying the application icon. In addition, the N first icons may be N application icons, and the user may make a first input to the N first icons in the target interface, and then the electronic device may receive the first input to the N first icons in the target interface from the user.

Alternatively, the first input may be an input that the user triggers the N first icon contacts.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, N is 2, and the N first icons include a first icon 1 and a first icon 2.

In one possible implementation, as shown in (a) of fig. 3, a first icon 1 and a second icon 2 may be displayed in the target interface. The user may perform a long press input on the first icon 1, and the electronic device may control the first icon 1 to be in a draggable state in response to the long press input. Thereafter, the user may drag the first icon 1 in a direction of the display area of the first icon 2, and the electronic device may control the first icon 1 to move to the display area of the first icon 2, so that the first icon 1 and the first icon 2 may be brought into contact with each other.

In another possible implementation, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, a first icon 1 and a second icon 2 may be displayed in the target interface. The user may perform a long press input on the first icon 1 and the first icon 2, respectively, and the electronic device may control both the first icon 1 and the first icon 2 to be in a draggable state in response to the long press input. After that, the user may drag the first icon 1 in a direction of the display area of the first icon 2, and drag the first icon 2 in a direction of the display area of the first icon 1, and the electronic device may control the first icon 1 to move to the display area of the first icon 2, and control the first icon 2 to move to the display area of the first icon 1, so that the first icon 1 and the first icon 2 contact each other.

Optionally, after the user performs long-time pressing input on the first icon, the electronic device may control the first icon to be displayed according to a preset effect, so that the user can know that the first icon is in a draggable state, and drag the first icon in the draggable state. Wherein the preset effect may include at least one of: zooming out or in the display according to a preset scale, dithering, highlighting, displaying a draggable logo, or other possible effects. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

S202, the electronic equipment responds to the first input, cancels display of the N first icons, and displays the second icon in the target interface.

The second icon may include N sub-icons, and one sub-icon may be used to indicate an application program corresponding to one first icon.

It should be noted that, the above "the second icon may include N sub-icons" specifically may mean that the display area of the second icon may include N sub-icons, that is, the display area of the second icon may display N sub-icons.

Illustratively, still taking N as 2, the N first icons include a first icon 1 and a first icon 2. As shown in fig. 3, a first icon 1 and a second icon 2 may be displayed in the target interface, and the first icon 1 and the second icon 2 may correspond to an application program, respectively. After the electronic device controls the first icon 1 and the first icon 2 to contact each other, as shown in fig. 4, the electronic device may cancel displaying the first icon 1 and the first icon 2 and display the second icon 41 in the target interface. The display area of the second icon 41 includes 2 sub-icons, and the 2 sub-icons may be sub-icon 1 and sub-icon 2, respectively. The sub-icon 1 may be used to indicate an application program corresponding to the first icon 1, and the sub-icon 2 may be used to indicate an application program corresponding to the first icon 2.

It should be noted that the electronic device may determine an arrangement manner of the N sub-icons in the display area of the second icon according to an icon boundary where the N first icons are in contact. For example, in the case where the lower boundary of the first icon 1 is in contact with the upper boundary of the first icon 2 as shown in fig. 3 (a), the sub-icon 1 and the sub-icon 2 may be arranged in the display region of the second icon 41 in an up-down manner as shown in fig. 4 (a), and in particular, the sub-icon 1 may be located above the sub-icon 2. In the case where the right boundary of the first icon 1 is in contact with the left boundary of the first icon 2 as shown in fig. 3 (b), the sub-icon 1 and the sub-icon 2 may be arranged in the display region of the second icon in a left-right arrangement as shown in fig. 4 (b), and in particular, the sub-icon 1 may be located to the left of the sub-icon 2.

In addition, the upper, lower, left, right, and the like in the embodiment of the present invention are exemplified by the user inputting on the screen of the electronic device when the screen of the electronic device faces the user, that is, the upper, lower, left, right, and the like are all with respect to the screen of the electronic device with respect to the user inputting on the screen of the electronic device.

S203, the electronic equipment receives a second input aiming at a target sub-icon in the N sub-icons.

Optionally, the target sub-icon may be at least one sub-icon of the N sub-icons, for example, the target sub-icon may be one sub-icon of the N sub-icons, or may also be N sub-icons of the N sub-icons.

Alternatively, the second input may be any possible input such as a click input, a slide up input, a slide down input, a slide left input, a slide right input, a long press input, or a re-press input for the target sub-icon.

And S204, the electronic equipment responds to the second input and executes the processing action corresponding to the target sub-icon.

Optionally, the processing action corresponding to the target sub-icon may include any one of the following: displaying an interface of an application program corresponding to the target sub-icon, running the application program corresponding to the target sub-icon in a background, controlling the target sub-icon to be in a hidden state, deleting the target sub-icon from a display area of the second icon, and updating and displaying the target sub-icon as the first sub-icon. Of course, the electronic device may also perform other processing actions corresponding to the target sub-icon in response to the second input, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements.

One possible implementation manner is that, if the target sub-icon is one sub-icon of the N sub-icons, and the second input is an input to the target sub-icon, the electronic device may display an interface of the application program corresponding to the target sub-icon in response to the second input. That is, the processing action corresponding to the target sub-icon is: and displaying an interface of an application program corresponding to the target sub-icon.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 5, the display area of the second icon may include a sub-icon 1 and a sub-icon 2. When a user wants to trigger the electronic device to run the application program corresponding to the sub-icon 1, the target sub-icon may be the sub-icon 1, and after the electronic device receives a second input of the user to the sub-icon 1, the electronic device may perform a processing action corresponding to the sub-icon 1 in response to the second input. For example, the electronic device may display an interface of an application corresponding to sub-icon 1.

Another possible implementation manner is that, if the target sub-icon is N sub-icons, and the second input is an input to the first control indicating the N sub-icons, the electronic device may display interfaces of N application programs corresponding to the N sub-icons in response to the second input; or displaying interfaces of M application programs corresponding to M sub-icons in the N sub-icons, and running the (N-M) application programs corresponding to other (N-M) sub-icons in the background. That is, the processing action corresponding to the target sub-icon is: displaying an interface of an application program corresponding to the N sub-icons; or displaying interfaces of M application programs corresponding to M sub-icons in the N sub-icons, and running the (N-M) application programs corresponding to other (N-M) sub-icons in a background, wherein M is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

Illustratively, taking N as 2 and M as 1 as an example, the target sub-icon includes sub-icon 1 and sub-icon 2. As shown in (b) of fig. 5, the display area of the second icon may include a sub-icon 1 and a sub-icon 2. When the user wants to trigger the electronic device to run the application program corresponding to the sub-icon 1 and the sub-icon 2 at the same time, the user may perform a second input on the first control 51. After the electronic device receives a second input to the first control 51 by the user, the electronic device may perform a processing action corresponding to sub-icon 1 and sub-icon 2 in response to the second input. For example, the electronic device may display the interface of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon 1 and the interface of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon 2 in a split screen manner; or, the electronic device may display an interface of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon 1, and background-run the application program corresponding to the sub-icon 2.

Optionally, in a case that the second input is an input to a target control in the display area of the target sub-icon, the processing action corresponding to the target sub-icon may further include: the electronic equipment cancels the display of the target sub-icon, and displays a fourth icon in an area except the area where the second icon is located in the target interface, wherein the fourth icon can be used for indicating an application program corresponding to the target sub-icon.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6, the display area of the second icon includes sub-icon 1 and sub-icon 2, the electronic device may receive an input of the second icon from a user before the electronic device performs a processing action corresponding to the target sub-icon in response to the second input, and then the electronic device may display target control 61 in the display area of sub-icon 1 and target control 62 in the display area of sub-icon 2 in response to the input.

Taking the target sub-icon as the sub-icon 1 as an example, if the electronic device receives a second input to the target control 61 from the user, the electronic device may cancel displaying the sub-icon 1 in the display area of the second icon in response to the second input, and display a fourth icon in the target interface, where the fourth icon may be used to indicate an application program corresponding to the sub-icon 1.

It is assumed that the display area of the sub-icon 1 on the second icon is area 1, and the display area of the sub-icon 2 on the second icon is area 2. After the electronic device cancels the display of the sub-icon 1, the electronic device may continue to display the sub-icon 2 on the area 2 without displaying any content on the area 1; the electronic device may also cancel displaying the second icon and display a fifth icon on the target interface, where the fifth icon may be used to indicate the application program corresponding to the sub-icon 2.

The embodiment of the invention provides an icon processing method, through the scheme, electronic equipment can cancel displaying N first icons and display a second icon comprising N sub-icons, namely N sub-icons replace N first icons, and as compared with N first icons occupying N icon positions, the second icon comprising N sub-icons occupies one icon position, a target interface can display more icons, and therefore a user can conveniently and quickly find icons in the target interface.

Optionally, in a case that the display area of the second icon already includes at least one sub-icon, the user may trigger the electronic device to add a new sub-icon in the second icon, specifically, the user may add and display the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon through input of the second icon and the third icon, or hide the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon.

For example, after S202, the icon processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S205 to S206 described below.

S205, the electronic equipment receives a third input of the second icon and the third icon.

Optionally, the third icon may be any icon in the target interface except the N first icons and the N second icons, or may be any icon in other interfaces in the electronic device. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Alternatively, the third input may be an input that brings the second icon into contact with the third icon. For a specific description of contacting the second icon with the third icon, reference may be made to the description related to contacting the first icon 1 with the first icon 2 in S201, and details are not repeated here.

Optionally, the second icon may include at least two regions, and the permissions of the application programs corresponding to the sub icons in the different regions may be different.

Illustratively, the at least two regions may include a privacy region and a non-privacy region, and the authority of the application may include a first authority and a second authority. If the area where the sub-icon 1 is located is a privacy area, and the area where the sub-icon 2 is located is a non-privacy area, the permission of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon 1 may be a first permission, and the permission of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon 2 may be a second permission. The first authority can be an application program which can be operated only after verification information input by a user is matched with preset information after the input of the user to the sub-icon in the privacy area is received; the second permission may be an application that may run directly after receiving user input to the sub-icon in the non-privacy zone.

Optionally, the third input may specifically be an input of moving the third icon to a display area of a second sub-icon of the N sub-icons. The display area of the second sub-icon may be a privacy area or a non-privacy area. Specifically, when the display area of the second sub-icon is a privacy area, the application program permission of the sub-icon corresponding to the privacy area may be the first permission; when the display area of the second sub-icon is a non-privacy area, the application program permission of the sub-icon corresponding to the non-privacy area may be the second permission.

According to the scheme, the display area of the second sub-icon can be a privacy area or a non-privacy area, so that the electronic equipment can set the authority of the application program corresponding to the third icon in the process of moving the third icon, and the time for setting the authority of the application program by a user is saved.

S206, the electronic equipment responds to a third input, cancels display of the third icon, and displays the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon; or canceling the display of the third icon and hiding the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon.

The first sub-icon may be used to indicate an application program corresponding to the third icon, that is, the first sub-icon and the third icon may be icons of the same application program.

In addition, the above "displaying the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon" means that the first sub-icon is added to the display area of the second icon, that is, the display area of the second icon does not include the first sub-icon before the third input is received. The above-mentioned "hide the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon" means that the first sub-icon is displayed in the display area of the second icon, but the first sub-icon is in a hidden state. In some cases, for example, in a case where a preset slide input by the user in the display area of the second icon is received, the electronic device may display the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 7, the electronic device may cancel displaying the third icon and display the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon. As shown in (b) of fig. 7, the electronic device may cancel displaying the third icon and hide the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon.

It should be noted that the execution sequence of S203 to S204 and S205 to S206 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the electronic device may first perform S203 to S204, and then perform S205 to S206; alternatively, the electronic device may also perform S205 to S206 first, and then perform S203 to S204; alternatively, the electronic device may also select to perform S203 to S204, or to perform S205 to S206.

If the electronic device performs S205 to S206 and then performs S203 to S204, after the first sub-icon is displayed in the display area of the second icon, the second icon may include N sub-icons and the first sub-icon, and then the electronic device may perform S203 to S204. It is understood that the electronic device may also receive an input for the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon, and execute a processing action corresponding to the first sub-icon, which may specifically refer to the relevant descriptions in S203 to S204, and is not described herein again.

In the embodiment of the invention, on the basis of triggering the electronic equipment through the first input to save the occupied space of the application program icon on the screen and reduce the number of icon interfaces in the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment can display the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon, so that a user can operate the first sub-icon more conveniently on the basis of further saving the occupied space of the application program icon on the screen. Because the electronic device can also hide the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon, on one hand, the completeness and the aesthetic property of the display of the original sub-icon in the second icon and the convenience of the user in operating the original sub-icon can be ensured, and on the other hand, under the condition that the number of the sub-icons in the second icon is large, the mode can enable the second icon to contain more sub-icons.

Optionally, the third input may be an input of moving the third icon to a display area of a second sub-icon of the N sub-icons, the display area of the second icon may include a privacy area and a non-privacy area, and in a case that the input received by the electronic device is an input of the first control by the user, the electronic device may perform different processing actions on the first sub-icon in a different area.

For example, after "canceling the display of the third icon and hiding the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon" in the above S206, the icon processing method provided by the embodiment of the invention may further include S207A and S208A described below, or S207A and S209A described below. Wherein, S208A and S209A are alternatively executed.

S207A, the electronic device receives a fourth input to the first control.

Optionally, the fourth input may be any possible input such as a click input, a slide-up input, a slide-down input, a slide-left input, a slide-right input, a long-press input, or a re-press input to the first control.

Optionally, the first control may be a function control or other controls in the display area of the second icon, and the first control may be used to open an interface of the application program corresponding to the first sub-icon. For example, the first control is a control as shown in (b) in fig. 5.

S208A, if the display area of the second sub-icon is the privacy area, the electronic device responds to the fourth input, acquires the first verification information, and displays an interface of the application program corresponding to the first sub-icon when the first verification information matches the first preset information.

S209A, if the display area of the second sub-icon is the non-privacy area, the electronic device responds to a fourth input, and displays the interface of the application program corresponding to the first sub-icon.

The biometric information of the user can be face information, fingerprint information, voice information or other biometric information of the user; the authentication information input by the user may be a password input by the user, a graphic drawn by the user or other authentication information, etc.

Optionally, before acquiring the first verification information, the electronic device may display a prompt message in response to the fourth input, where the prompt message is used to prompt the user to input the first verification information. Thereafter, the user may input the first authentication information according to the prompt message.

In an embodiment of the invention, the first verification information may be information corresponding to the first preset information. For example, if the first preset information is pre-stored face information of the user, the first verification information may be one piece of face information collected by the electronic device after receiving the fourth input to the first control.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device can display the interface of the application program corresponding to the first sub-icon under the condition that the display area of the first verification information conforming to the first preset information or the second sub-icon is the non-privacy area.

According to the scheme, after the first sub-icon is controlled to be in the hidden state, on one hand, the electronic device can start the application program corresponding to the first sub-icon in the non-privacy area in the hidden state through the first control; on the other hand, the electronic device can determine whether to display the interface of the application program corresponding to the first sub-icon in the privacy area through the first verification information, so that the application program in the privacy area can be prevented from being stolen by others, and the privacy safety of the user is ensured.

Optionally, the third input may be an input of moving the third icon to a display area of a second sub-icon of the N sub-icons, the display area of the second icon may include a privacy area and a non-privacy area, and in a case that the input received by the electronic device is an input of the second sub-icon by the user, the electronic device may perform different processing actions on the first sub-icon in a different area.

For example, after "canceling the display of the third icon and hiding the first sub-icon in the display area of the second icon" in the above S206, the icon processing method provided by the embodiment of the invention may further include S207B and S208B described below, or S207B and S209B described below. I.e., S208B and S209B are alternatively executed.

S207B, the electronic device receives a fifth input to the second sub-icon.

Alternatively, the fifth input may be any possible input such as a click input, a slide-up input, a slide-down input, a slide-left input, a slide-right input, a long-press input, or a re-press input to the second sub-icon. Alternatively, the fifth input may be a slide input in the display area of the second sub-icon, or the like.

S208B, if the display area of the second sub-icon is the privacy area, the electronic device responds to the fifth input, acquires the second verification information, and updates and displays the second sub-icon as the first sub-icon when the second verification information matches the second preset information.

S209B, if the display area of the second sub-icon is the non-privacy area, the electronic device responds to a fifth input, and updates and displays the second sub-icon as the first sub-icon.

The second preset information may be the same as or different from the first preset information. The second authentication information may be the same as or different from the first authentication information.

Optionally, the second verification information may include at least one of: biometric information of the user, authentication information input by the user. The biometric information of the user can be face information, fingerprint information, voice information or other biometric information of the user; the authentication information input by the user may be a password input by the user, a graphic drawn by the user or other authentication information, etc.

Optionally, before acquiring the second verification information, the electronic device may display a prompt message in response to the fifth input, where the prompt message is used to prompt the user to input the second verification information. Thereafter, the user may input second authentication information based on the prompt.

In an embodiment of the invention, the second verification information may be information corresponding to the second preset information. For example, if the second preset information is pre-stored face information of the user, the second verification information may be one piece of face information collected by the electronic device after receiving the fifth input to the second sub-icon.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may update and display the second sub-icon as the first sub-icon when the second verification information matches the second preset information or the display area of the second sub-icon is the non-privacy area.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 8, in a case where the display area of the second icon includes a second sub-icon displayed above the display area and a sub-icon displayed below the display area, the fifth input may be an input of sliding left or an input of sliding right in the area where the second sub-icon is located. Taking the fifth input as an input of sliding left in the area where the second sub-icon is located, as shown in (b) of fig. 8, the electronic device may update and display the second sub-icon as the first sub-icon in response to the fifth input.

It is to be understood that, after the electronic device displays the second sub-icon as the first sub-icon in an updated manner, if the electronic device receives an input of sliding to the right in the area where the first sub-icon is located, or in the case where the sub-icon located above in the second icon includes only the first sub-icon and the second sub-icon, the electronic device receives an input of sliding to the left in the area where the first sub-icon is located, the electronic device may display the first sub-icon as the second sub-icon in an updated manner.

As shown in (c) of fig. 8, in a case where the display area of the second icon includes the second sub-icon displayed on the left side of the display area and the sub-icon 1 displayed on the right side of the display area, the fifth input may be an input of sliding up or an input of sliding down in the area where the second sub-icon is located, and taking the fifth input as an example of an input of sliding down in the area where the second sub-icon is located, as shown in (d) of fig. 8, the electronic device may update and display the second sub-icon as the first sub-icon in response to the fifth input.

It is to be understood that, after the electronic device displays the second sub-icon as the first sub-icon in an updated manner, if the electronic device receives an input of sliding upward in the area where the first sub-icon is located, or in the case where the left sub-icon in the second icon includes only the first sub-icon and the second sub-icon, the electronic device receives an input of sliding downward in the area where the first sub-icon is located, the electronic device may display the first sub-icon as the second sub-icon in an updated manner.

According to the scheme, after the first sub-icon is controlled to be in the hidden state, on one hand, the electronic device can redisplay the first sub-icon in the hidden state under the triggering of the user, so that the user can input the first sub-icon, and the electronic device can execute the processing action corresponding to the first sub-icon. On the other hand, since the electronic device can determine whether to redisplay the first sub-icon in the hidden state through the second verification information, the privacy security of the user can be ensured.

Optionally, in a case that the target sub-icon is already included in the second icon, the user may set the application program corresponding to the target sub-icon as a privacy application program, and when the user wants to use the application program again, the user information is verified by the input trigger electronic device, so that the target sub-icon is redisplayed in the display area of the second icon, or an interface of the application program corresponding to the target sub-icon is displayed. And the authority of the privacy application program is the same as that of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon in the privacy area.

For example, the above S204 may be specifically implemented by the following S204a, and optionally, after S204a, the icon processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following S210 to S212.

S204a, the electronic device control target sub-icon is in a hidden state.

The electronic device may receive user input to the target sub-icon and, in response to the input, control the target sub-icon to be in a hidden state. For example, the user may adjust the proportion of the target sub-icon in the second icon display area through the first control. Specifically, the user can control the first control to slide, in the process of sliding the first control, the proportion of the target sub-icon in the second icon display area can be changed, and when the proportion of the target sub-icon in the second icon display area is adjusted to be zero, the electronic device can control the target sub-icon to be in a hidden state, and set the application program corresponding to the target sub-icon as the privacy application program.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can set the authority of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon in the second icon, so that the electronic equipment can more flexibly set the authority of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon.

S210, the electronic equipment receives a sixth input.

Optionally, the sixth input may be an input of the first control by the user, or other possible inputs.

And S211, the electronic equipment responds to the sixth input and acquires third verification information.

The third verification information may be the same as or different from the first preset information and the second preset information. The third authentication information may be the same as or different from the first authentication information and the second authentication information. That is, the third authentication information may be different information of the same user, the same information as the first authentication information and the second authentication information, or may be different information of different users.

Wherein the third verification information may include at least one of: biometric information of the user, authentication information input by the user. The biometric information of the user may be facial information, fingerprint information, voice information, or other biometric information of the user, etc. The authentication information input by the user may be a password input by the user, a graphic drawn by the user or other authentication information, etc.

Optionally, before acquiring the third verification information, the electronic device may display a prompt message in response to the sixth input, where the prompt message is used to prompt the user to input the third verification information. Thereafter, the user may input third authentication information based on the prompt.

And S212, under the condition that the third verification information accords with third preset information, the electronic equipment redisplays the target sub-icon in the display area of the second icon, or displays an interface of the application program corresponding to the target sub-icon.

In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device may redisplay the target sub-icon in the display area of the second icon when the third verification information conforms to the third preset information, and then, the electronic device may receive an input of the target sub-icon from a user, so as to display an interface of the application program corresponding to the target sub-icon. Another possible implementation manner is that the electronic device may directly display the interface of the application program corresponding to the target sub-icon under the condition that the third verification information conforms to the third preset information.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the control target sub-icon is in the hidden state, the electronic device can determine whether to redisplay the target sub-icon or display the interface of the application program corresponding to the target sub-icon through the third verification information, so that the application program in the privacy area can be prevented from being stolen by others, and the privacy safety of the user is ensured.

Alternatively, the second input may be a slide input in the display area of the target sub-icon. The electronic device may update and display the target sub-icon as the first sub-icon in response to the second input, and then, the electronic device may receive a seventh input to the first control, and display an interface of the application program corresponding to the first sub-icon and an interface of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon, excluding the target sub-icon, of the N sub-icons in response to the seventh input.

For example, in a case where the second input is a slide input in the display area of the target sub-icon, the above S204 may be specifically implemented by S204b described below; after S204b, the icon processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S213 to S214 described below.

S204b, the electronic device updates and displays the target sub-icon as a first sub-icon.

For the electronic device to update and display the target sub-icon as the first sub-icon, reference may be made to the method for the electronic device to update and display the second sub-icon as the first sub-icon in S208B, which is not described herein again.

And S213, the electronic equipment receives a seventh input of the first control.

Optionally, the seventh input may be any possible input such as a click input, a slide-up input, a slide-down input, a slide-left input, a slide-right input, a long-press input, or a re-press input to the first control.

The seventh input and the fourth input may be the same input or different inputs.

S214, the electronic equipment responds to the seventh input, displays the interface of the application program corresponding to the first sub-icon, and displays the interface of the application program corresponding to the sub-icon, except the target sub-icon, of the N sub-icons.

For example, before the electronic device displays the target sub-icon as the first sub-icon in an updated manner, the display area of the second icon may include the target sub-icon, sub-icon 1, and sub-icon 2, and after the electronic device displays the target sub-icon as the first sub-icon in an updated manner, the display area of the second icon may include the first sub-icon, sub-icon 1, and sub-icon 2. After the electronic device receives the seventh input to the first control, the electronic device may display an interface of the application program corresponding to the first sub-icon, an interface of the application program corresponding to sub-icon 1, and an interface of the application program corresponding to sub-icon 2, respectively.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can start the application programs corresponding to all sub icons in the second icon display area by receiving the input of the user to the first control, so that the operation of starting a plurality of application programs by the user can be simplified.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the icon processing methods shown in the above method drawings are all exemplarily described with reference to one drawing in the embodiment of the present invention. In specific implementation, the icon processing method shown in each method drawing can also be implemented by combining any other drawing which can be combined and is illustrated in the above embodiments, and details are not described here.
