Background

With the development of electronic device technology, users use electronic devices more and more frequently, and the types and the number of applications in the electronic devices are more and more. Since each user has his own usage habits, there is a need for sorting the application icons of the applications in the electronic device.

Currently, if a user wants to trigger the electronic device to sort application icons, the application icons that the user wants to move may be dragged from a current position to a target position. When the user drags the application icon which the user wants to move to the target position, the electronic equipment is triggered to move away other application icons on the target position so as to achieve sequencing of the application icons.

However, when a user wants to sort a large number of application icons, the user needs to repeatedly drag a large number of application icons, and each time the user drags one application icon, the user triggers the electronic device to move at least one other application icon. Therefore, the steps of the whole application program icon sorting process are complicated, and the efficiency is low.

The following takes an electronic device as an example to exemplarily describe the icon sorting method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

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

The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The following describes a software environment to which the icon sorting method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the icon sorting method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the icon sorting method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the icon sorting method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The icon sorting method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to various scenes that a user sorts icons, for example, scenes that the user sorts icons in a mobile phone desktop, scenes that the user sorts icons in a folder, and scenes that the user sorts icons in the mobile phone desktop and the folder.

For example, taking the user sorting the icons in the desktop of the mobile phone as an example, the electronic device of the mobile phone may sort the icons according to the sorting information input by the user through the mobile phone.

The icon sorting method according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the flowchart of the icon sorting method shown in fig. 2, where fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of the icon sorting method according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the method includes steps 201 to 203:

step 201: the electronic device displays a first interface.

In an embodiment of the invention, the first interface includes N icons. Wherein N is a positive integer greater than 1.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the first interface may be a main interface of the electronic device (for example, a desktop of a mobile phone), may also be a folder interface (that is, an interface displayed by the electronic device after a user clicks a folder icon), and may also be any interface of any application program in the electronic device, which may be specifically set according to actual requirements, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the N icons may be application icons of applications, shortcut icons of applications, and folder icons of folders, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, one or more first interfaces may be provided, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Step 202: the electronic device receives a first input to M target icons of the N icons.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first input may include: the click input to the M target icons, or the voice instruction input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user may be determined according to the actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Wherein M is a positive integer, and N is more than or equal to M.

The specific gesture in the embodiment of the invention can be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure identification gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the invention can be click input, double-click input or click input of any number of times, and can also be long-press input or short-press input.

For example, in the case that the target icon indicates an application, the target icon may be an application icon of the application, or may be a shortcut icon of the application; when the target icon indicates a folder, the target icon may be a folder icon of the folder, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 203: and in response to the first input, the electronic equipment updates the display positions of the N icons according to the sorting sequence of the M target icons corresponding to the first input.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the sorting order is related to the sorting information input by the first input, that is, the sorting order may be determined according to the sorting information.

For example, the above-mentioned sorting information is used to indicate an icon sorting order of any one of the M target icons.

In addition, the sorting order may be related to the sorting information input by the first input, and may also be related to the touch order of the user to the M target icons in the first input.

For example, when the sorting order is related to the touch order of the user on the M target icons, the sorting order of the M target icons may be sorted sequentially from front to back according to the touch order of the user on the M target icons; or the sorting order of the M target icons may be sequentially sorted from back to front according to the order of the user's touch on the M target icons.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the user wants to sort the icons, the electronic device may be triggered to control the icons to be in a sortable state.

Illustratively, after step 201, the method may further include the following steps 201a and 201 b:

step 201 a: the electronic device receives a fourth input to the first interface from the user.

Illustratively, the fourth input may include: the click input of the user on the first interface, or the sliding input of the user on the first interface, or other feasible inputs of the user on the first interface may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

For example, the above click input may refer to the description of the first input in the embodiment of the present invention, and is not described herein again. The sliding input may be a sliding input in any direction, for example, sliding upwards, sliding downwards, sliding leftwards or sliding rightwards, and the sliding trajectory of the sliding input may be a straight line or a curved line, and may be specifically set according to actual requirements.

In an example, the sliding input of the user on the first interface may be: and the palm of the user slides on the first interface from top to bottom for inputting.

Step 201 b: and responding to the fourth input, and controlling the N icons to be in a sortable state by the electronic equipment.

For example, the sortable state in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a state in which a user may input N icons on the first interface, and the electronic device may sort the N icons according to a touch sequence or input sorting information. In this state, the result of the electronic device response to the user touching any icon on the first interface is different from the result of the electronic device response to the user touching any icon in the non-sortable state.

For example, if the N icons are N application icons, when the N application icons are in a non-sortable state, a user touches any application icon, and may trigger the electronic device to display an application interface corresponding to the application icon; when the N application icons are in the sortable state, the user touches any application icon, and may trigger the electronic device to sort any application icon, and may not trigger the electronic device to display an application interface corresponding to any application icon.

For example, if the N icons include folder icons, when the N icons are in a non-sortable state, a user touches the folder icon to trigger the electronic device to display a folder interface corresponding to the folder icon, and when the user touches any application icon in the folder interface, the user can trigger the electronic device to display an application interface corresponding to the application icon; when the N icons are in a sortable state, the user touches the folder icon, and the electronic device may be triggered to display a folder interface corresponding to the folder icon, and when the user touches any application icon in the folder interface, the electronic device may sort the application icon without triggering the electronic device to display the application interface corresponding to the application icon.

It should be noted that the input that the electronic device can respond to when the N icons are in the non-sortable state may be the same as or different from the input that the terminal can respond to when the N icons are in the sortable state, but the results of the responses of the N icons and the input may be different.

For example, when the N icons are in a non-sortable state and an application 1 icon is in a non-sortable state in a sortable state, the user clicks the application 1 icon, and the electronic device displays a main interface of application 1; when the application 1 icon is in the sortable state, the user clicks the application 1 icon and the electronic device sorts the application 1 icon.

For example, when the electronic device controls the N icons to be in a sortable state, the N icons may be displayed in a dithering manner in the first interface, or the N icons may be displayed in a highlighting manner in the first interface, or the N icons may be displayed in an enlarged manner in the first interface, which may be specifically set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this. Thus, the electronic device can prompt the user that the N icons are in the orderable state through a specific display mode.

In an example, after the electronic device receives a sliding input of a user palm on the first interface from top to bottom, if a size of a screen area of the electronic device, which is occluded by the user palm, is larger than a preset size, the electronic device controls the N icons to be in a sortable state.

For example, the preset size may be set according to the width of the palm of the user. The preset size may be a value or an interval value, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, if the palm width of the user is generally greater than 4 cm, the preset size may be set to 4 cm, or may be set to 4 cm to 4.5 cm.

In the following, an electronic device will be described as an example of a mobile phone.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, if the user wants to sort the icons, the fingers may be closed, the palm may cover the entire screen of the mobile phone, and then the user slides down from the top of the screen of the mobile phone, at this time, the photosensitive system inside the mobile phone may feel that the mobile phone is shielded, and the calculation of the size of the shielded screen area of the mobile phone is started. When the width of the shielded screen area is calculated to be 5 cm and larger than the preset 4 cm, the mobile phone control icon is in a sortable state, and the icon sorting function can be understood to be successfully awakened. At this point, the user may trigger the electronic device to sort the icons.

It should be noted that, in addition to setting the preset size according to the common sense that the palm width of the user is generally greater than 4 centimeters, the electronic device may also perform pre-measurement on the palm width of the user, and then set the preset size according to the measurement value, where the value of the preset size needs to be smaller than the value of the palm width of the user if the preset size is a value, and the minimum value of the interval of the preset size needs to be smaller than the value of the palm width of the user if the preset size is an interval value.

In an example, after receiving a third input to the first interface from the user, the electronic device may control the N icons to be in a sortable state and display a target control.

For example, the target control may include a first sub-control and a second sub-control. The first sub-control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to perform 1-level sequencing logic, and the second sub-control is used for triggering the electronic equipment to perform 2-level sequencing logic.

For example, referring to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, a mobile phone desktop (i.e., the first interface described above, i.e., 31 in fig. 4) is displayed on the mobile phone screen, and application icons of 6 applications and folder icons of 2 folders are displayed in the mobile phone desktop. The 6 application icons are respectively an "application 1" icon, an "application 2" icon, an "application 3" icon, an "application 4" icon, an "application 5" icon and an "application 6" icon, and the 2 folder icons are respectively a "folder 1" icon and a "folder 2" icon. When the mobile phone controls 8 icons to be in a sortable state, a "level 1" control (i.e., the first sub-control, as shown in fig. 4, as denoted by 32) and a "level 2" control (i.e., the second sub-control, as shown by 33, as denoted by 33, in fig. 4) may be displayed, and a user may trigger the mobile phone to execute corresponding sorting logic by touch inputs to the two controls, respectively.

Illustratively, the above-mentioned level 1 ordering logic and level 2 ordering logic are different ordering logic, and the electronic device responds differently according to the different ordering logic.

Example 1, in a case where a mobile phone displays a mobile phone desktop, the mobile phone desktop includes both an application icon of an application and a folder icon of a folder, and at this time, if a user only wants to sort icons displayed on the mobile phone desktop, the user may trigger the mobile phone to perform level 1 sorting. When the user inputs the application icons and the folder icons, the original functions, namely opening the application corresponding to the application icons or opening the folder corresponding to the folder icons, are not triggered, and the application icons and the folder icons are sequenced.

Example 2, in a case that the mobile phone displays the mobile phone desktop, the mobile phone desktop includes both an application icon of an application and a folder icon of a folder, and at this time, if a user wants to sort the icons displayed on the mobile phone desktop, or the user wants to sort the icons in the folder corresponding to the folder icons, or the user wants to exchange the icons in the mobile phone desktop and the folders, or the user wants to exchange the icons in the two folders, the user may trigger the mobile phone to perform level 2 sorting. When a user inputs the application program icons, the original functions are not triggered, and the application program icons are sequenced by inputting the serial numbers of the application program icons and/or the positions where the application program icons are to be placed; when a user inputs the folder icons, the folder corresponding to the folder icons is opened, the application program icons are displayed on the file interface of the folder, when the user inputs the application program icons in the file interface, the original functions are not triggered, and the application program icons in the file interface are sequenced by inputting the serial numbers of the application program icons to be sequenced and/or the positions of the application program icons to be placed in the file interface.

According to the icon sorting method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment displays the first interface containing N icons, and after the first input of M target icons in the N icons is received, the display positions of the N icons can be updated according to the sorting sequence of the M target icons corresponding to the first input. Because the sorting order is related to the sorting information input by the first input, the electronic equipment can determine the sorting order of the M target icons according to the sorting information, and the display positions of the N icons can be updated at one time without moving the icons, so that the whole icon sorting process is simple and convenient to operate and high in efficiency.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first input may include click input on the M target icons; the sorting order of the M target icons may be a click order of the M target icons.

For example, the electronic device may sequentially sort the M target icons from front to back according to the click sequence of the user on the M target icons, or the electronic device may sequentially sort the M target icons from back to front according to the click sequence of the user on the M target icons, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, each time the user clicks on a target icon, the corresponding icon ranking number may be displayed in the vicinity of the target icon. It should be noted that the icon sorting order may be displayed above the target icon, below the target icon, on the left side of the target icon, or on the right side of the target icon, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the target control may also include a "sort complete" control, as shown in fig. 4, when the user wants to sort the 8 icons displayed in the cell phone desktop 31, the user may click on the "level 1" control 32, at which point the user may click on the 8 icons that are to be sorted, respectively, if the user wants to sort the "app 5" icon first, the user may click the "app 5" icon for the first time, the cell phone displays the number "1" below the "app 5" icon (i.e., the above-mentioned icon ranking number), if the user wants to rank the "app 1" icon second, the user may click the "app 1" icon a second time, the cell phone displays the number "2" below the "app 1" icon, and so on, until the user clicks the application 3 icon for the eighth time, the mobile phone displays the number 8 below the application 3 icon. When the user sorts all 8 icons, the user can click the "sorting complete" control (i.e., 34 in fig. 4), and at this time, as shown in fig. 5, the 8 icons are displayed on the mobile phone desktop 31 in the order of the sorted icons, the "app 5" icon is ranked first, the "app 1" icon is ranked second, and so on, the "app 3" icon is ranked eighth.

It should be noted that, after the user clicks the "sort complete" control, the electronic device cancels that the icon is in the sortable state, and does not display the target control any more. The folder icon in the first interface may be considered an application icon when the user triggers the electronic device to perform the level 1 sort logic.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can sort the M target icons in a clicking mode according to the clicking sequence without moving the icons, and the icons can be sorted, so that the icon sorting process is simpler and more convenient and is high in efficiency.

Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user may reorder the already ordered target icons.

For example, in a case where a corresponding icon sorting order is displayed in the vicinity of any target icon, the user may adjust the icon sorting order by a slide input on the icon sorting order.

In one example, the icon sort order number increases (increases) when the user slides up on the icon sort order number, and decreases (decreases) when the user slides down on the icon sort order number.

Example 3, referring to fig. 4, when the icon ranking number of the "application 4" icon is number "3", if the user slides up on number "3", the mobile phone adjusts the icon ranking number of the "application 4" icon from number "3" to number "4", and adjusts the icon ranking number of the "application 7" icon, whose original icon ranking number is number "4", to number "3".

Example 4, referring to fig. 4, when the icon ranking number of the "application 4" icon is number "3", if the user slides down on the number "3", the mobile phone adjusts the icon ranking number of the "application 4" icon from number "3" to number "2", and adjusts the icon ranking number of the "application 1" icon, whose original icon ranking number is number "2", to number "3".

In another example, the icon sort order number decreases (decreases) when the user slides up on the icon sort order number, and the icon sort order number increases (increases) when the user slides down on the icon sort order number.

Therefore, after the user sorts the icons, the user can conveniently and quickly adjust the icon sorting sequence number of the icons according to the requirement, so that the icons are sorted again, and the icon sorting process is simpler, more convenient and more flexible.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, if a user needs to trigger the electronic device to exchange and sort the icons in the desktop and the icons in the folders, or when the icons in different folders are exchanged and sorted, the icons may be displayed on the same interface, so as to facilitate operation.

Illustratively, before the step 201, the method may further include the following step a 1:

step A1: the electronic device receives a third input to the first folder icon.

Illustratively, the third input may include: the specific feasibility input of the user on the first folder icon may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Based on the step a1, the step 201 may specifically include the following step a 2:

step A2: and responding to the third input, and displaying a first interface by the electronic equipment.

Illustratively, a first icon is displayed in the first display area of the first interface, and a second icon is displayed in the second display area of the first interface.

Specifically, the first icon includes the first folder icon, the second icon is an icon in the first folder, and the N icons include the first icon and the second icon.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, if the user wants to sort the application icons in folder 1 and the application icons on the desktop of the mobile phone (i.e., 31 in fig. 6), the user may click on the "folder 1" icon. At this time, the mobile phone screen may display a first interface (i.e. a folder interface of the folder 1 and a mobile phone desktop) in a split screen manner, where the folder interface of the folder 1 is displayed on the mobile phone desktop 31 on the first display area of the mobile phone screen, the folder interface of the folder 1 is displayed on the second display area (i.e. 41 in fig. 6), and application icons of two applications are displayed on the folder interface 41, which are an "application 7" icon and an "application 8" icon respectively. At this time, the user may sort the 10 icons displayed on the first interface.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can display a plurality of interfaces contained in the first interface in a split screen mode, and a user can select icons to be added to another interface from one interface at any time to participate in sequencing, so that the user can conveniently sequence the icons.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may sort the icons according to a manner of inputting the sorting information.

For example, when the first input includes M sub-inputs and one sub-input corresponds to one target icon, the step 203 may specifically include the following steps 203a to 203 c:

step 203 a: and responding to the sub-input corresponding to the first target icon, and displaying an input area on the first interface by the electronic equipment.

The first target icon is one of the M target icons.

For example, the input area may be a scroll selection box or a character input box, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Illustratively, the characters include at least one of: letters, numbers, letters, and mathematical symbols.

For example, in conjunction with FIG. 4, if the user wants to sort the application icons in folder 1, the user can click on the "level 2" control 33, and then the user can click on the "folder 1" icon. At this time, referring to fig. 6, the mobile phone displays the folder interface 41 of the folder 1 on the mobile phone desktop 31, and the application icons of the two applications, namely the "application 7" icon and the "application 8" icon, are displayed on the folder interface 41. If the user wants to sort the "applications 8" icon, the "applications 8" icon may be clicked. At this time, as shown in fig. 7, the mobile phone displays a scroll selection box (i.e., the above-mentioned input box, 42 in fig. 7) on the right side of the "application 8" icon.

In an example, the folder interface of the folder 1 may be displayed on the desktop of the mobile phone in a floating manner, and when the user drags the folder interface, the folder interface may move on the desktop of the mobile phone along with the dragging operation of the user. Therefore, when the folder interface blocks the icons on the mobile phone desktop, the user can remove the folder interface, and the user can operate the icons on the mobile phone desktop conveniently.

Step 203 b: the electronic device receives a second input to the input area.

Illustratively, the second input may include: the click input to the input area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user may be determined according to the actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, for the description of the click input and the specific gesture, reference may be made to the description of the click input and the specific gesture in the first input in the embodiment of the present invention, and details are not described here again.

In one example, the input area may include a first sub input box and a second sub input box; the first sub-input box is used for inputting the icon sorting sequence number of the first target icon on the target interface, and the second sub-input box is used for inputting the interface name of the target interface.

The target interface may include the first interface or a second interface, and the second interface is different from the first interface. For example, the second interface may be a folder interface of the target folder, may also be a desktop name, and may also be any other interface name, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, taking the target interface as the first interface as an example, as shown in fig. 7, if the user wants to arrange the "application 8" icon in the folder 1 at the first of the folder interfaces 41 of the folder 1 and can click the "application 8" icon, a scroll selection box 42 is displayed on the right side of the "application 8" icon, and the scroll selection box includes a left scroll selection box (i.e., the above-mentioned second sub input box, such as 42a in fig. 7) and a right scroll selection box (i.e., the above-mentioned first sub input box, such as 42b in fig. 7). When the user only wants to adjust the ranking of "application 8" in the folder interface of folder 1, the interface name "folder 1" displayed in the left scroll selection box 42a does not need to be adjusted, and only the number "1" needs to be selected in the right scroll selection box 42 b.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can directly sort the icons in a mode of inputting sorting information, directly sort the icons, does not need a user to drag the icons, and can simplify the operation steps of sorting.

Further, in the case that the input area includes the first sub input box and the second sub input box, the second input may include at least one of: a first sub-input and a second sub-input.

The first sub-input may be an input to the first sub-input box, and the second sub-input may be an input to the second sub-input box.

In one example, in a case where the first sub input box is a first scroll selection box, the first sub input may be a first scroll input to the first scroll selection box; in a case where the second sub input box is a second scroll selection box, the second sub input may be a second scroll input to the second scroll selection box; the sequence number of the icons displayed in the first scroll selection box can be changed along with the scrolling of the first scroll input, and the interface name displayed in the second scroll selection box can be changed along with the scrolling of the second scroll input.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, a scroll selection box (i.e., 51 in fig. 8) is displayed on the right side of the "application 6" icon in the desktop of the mobile phone (i.e., 31 in fig. 8), and the scroll selection box 51 includes a left scroll selection box (i.e., 51a in fig. 8) and a right scroll selection box (i.e., 51b in fig. 8). The user may slide on the left scroll selection box 51a (i.e., the second scroll input described above), and each time the user slides on the left scroll selection box 51a, the interface name is scrolled and displayed in the left scroll selection box 51a, and the interface names "folder 1", "folder 2", and "custom" may be displayed in the left scroll selection box 51 a. Then, the user may slide on the right scroll selection box 51b (i.e., the first scroll input described above), and each time the user slides on the right scroll selection box 51b, a number (i.e., the above-described icon sorting order) is scroll-displayed in the left scroll selection box 51b, and numbers 1 to 10 may be displayed in the right scroll selection box 51 b.

It should be noted that the "customization" mentioned above means that the user can create a new folder through the "customization" option.

Step 203 c: and in response to the second input, the electronic equipment updates the display position of the first target icon according to the sorting information input in the input area by the second input.

In one example, the above-mentioned ranking information may include: and the icon sorting sequence number of the first target icon in the first interface.

In another example, the above-mentioned ranking information may include: and the icon sorting sequence number of the first target icon in the target folder.

For example, referring to fig. 7, when the user wants to update and display the "application 6" icon in the folder 1 and the icons in the folder 1 are sorted to be the second, as shown in fig. 8, the user can slide on the left scroll selection box 51a (i.e., the second scroll input described above) until the interface name "folder 1" is displayed in the left scroll selection box 51 a. The user may then slide over the right scroll selection box 51b (i.e., the first scroll input described above) until the number "2" is displayed within the right scroll selection box 51 b. At this time, the mobile phone can update the display position of the "application 6" icon to the second display position in the folder 1 interface 41 according to "folder 1" displayed in the left scroll selection frame 51a and "2" displayed in the right scroll selection frame 51b (i.e., the above sort information), as shown in fig. 9.

Therefore, the user can sort the icons of the first interface and the folder interface in a mode of inputting sorting information in the input area, can quickly add the icons in the first interface into the folder and sort in the folder interface, does not need to drag the icons in the first interface to the folder and then sort the icons in the folder interface, and the whole icon sorting process is simple and convenient to operate and high in efficiency.

Further, the electronic device may further include a third sub input box in addition to the first sub input box and the second sub input box.

For example, if the first interface of the electronic device is a desktop, when the electronic device further includes other desktops and each desktop includes a folder icon, the second sub-input box may be only used to input an interface name of the folder interface included in the second interface, and the third sub-input box is used to input a desktop name included in the second interface, so as to distinguish different desktops and folders.

In one example, the electronic device may display a third sub-input box for inputting a desktop name of a desktop on which a first target icon of the M target icons is located after receiving a fifth input by the user.

The third sub-input box may be a third scroll selection box or a third self-character selection box, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, the first sub input box, the second sub input box, and the third sub input box may be displayed at any position in the screen of the electronic device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In one example, the target control may include a "desktop selection" control (shown as 35 in fig. 4), and the fifth input may be a fifth input of the "desktop selection" control by the user.

For example, referring to fig. 8, taking the first interface as the mobile phone desktop 1, and taking the mobile phone as an example, where the mobile phone includes the mobile phone desktop 1 and the mobile phone desktop 2, as shown in fig. 10, if the user wants to update the "application 6" icon in the mobile phone desktop 1 (i.e., the first interface described above, such as 31 in fig. 10) to the first one of the folder interfaces of the folder 3 displayed in the mobile phone desktop 2 (i.e., the second interface described above), the user may first click the "desktop selection" control, at this time, the mobile phone displays a desktop scroll selection frame (i.e., the third scroll selection frame described above, such as 52 in fig. 10) on the right side of the "desktop selection" control in the mobile phone desktop 1, and the user may slide on the desktop scroll selection frame 52 until the desktop scroll selection frame 52 displays the "desktop 2". Next, the user may click the "level 2" control and then click the "app 6" icon, at which time, the mobile phone displays a scroll selection box (i.e. 51 in fig. 10) on the right side of the "app 6" icon in the mobile phone desktop 1, and the user may slide in the left scroll selection box (i.e. 51a in fig. 10) (i.e. the second scroll input described above) until the "folder 3" is displayed in the left scroll selection box and slide on the right scroll selection box (i.e. 51b in fig. 10) (i.e. the first scroll input described above) until the number "1" is displayed in the right scroll selection box 51 b. When the user finishes the selection, the user can click on the "sort complete" control (34 in fig. 10), and the mobile phone displays an "application 6" icon at the first icon display position in the folder interface of the folder 3 in the mobile phone desktop 2.

Therefore, when the electronic equipment is provided with a plurality of desktops and a user wants to update display positions of icons among different desktops and sort the icons, the user can sort the icons without dragging the icons back and forth among the desktops, so that the whole icon sorting process is simple and convenient to operate and high in efficiency.

It should be noted that the number of the sub input boxes and the purpose of each sub input box provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

In one example, if the electronic device includes at least two display screens, the user may simultaneously trigger the electronic device to sort the icons in the at least two display screens.

Specifically, the display screen of the electronic device may include a first screen and a second screen. And the first screen and the second screen both display a first interface. Example 1, after the electronic device receives a fourth input to the first screen or the second screen by the user, the icons in the first screen and the second screen may be simultaneously controlled to be in a sortable state. Example 2, after the electronic device receives a fourth input of the user on the first screen, controlling the icons in the first screen to be in a sortable state; or after the electronic equipment receives a fourth input of the user on the second screen, controlling the icons in the second screen to be in a sortable state.
