The following describes a software environment to which the icon moving 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 moving 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 moving method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the icon moving method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to an icon management scene.

Illustratively, taking a desktop interface of an electronic device as an example, assume that the desktop of the electronic device includes a desktop interface 1, and 5 APP icons are displayed in the desktop interface 1, which are APP icon 1, APP icon 2, APP icon 3, APP icon 4, and APP icon 5, respectively. In the related art, if a user wants to move APP icon 1 and APP icon 2 to other desktop interfaces, first, the user can control the electronic device to newly build a desktop interface 2, and then, the APP icon 1 and APP icon 2 are moved to the desktop interface 2 in a cross-desktop interface mode. So, make whole APP icon remove process operation loaded down with trivial details, inefficiency.

In order to solve the problem, in the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the APP icon in the desktop interface 1 is in an editable state, the user triggers the electronic device to perform interface splitting operation through the second input, and directly splits the desktop interface 1 into the desktop interface 1 including the APP icon 3, the APP icon 4 and the APP icon 5 and the desktop interface 2 including the APP icon 1 and the APP icon 2. So, need not the manual establishment that carries out the desktop interface of user, alright realize the high-efficient management to the APP icon in the desktop interface, not only simplified the operation step that the APP icon removed the in-process, still improved the managerial efficiency of APP icon.

An icon moving method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the following drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an icon moving method provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes steps 201 to 204:

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

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be: the touch input of the user, 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, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

For example, in a case where the electronic device displays a desktop interface or a folder interface, the first input is used to trigger the electronic device to control an application icon in the desktop interface or the folder interface to be in an editable state.

Step 202: and responding to the first input, and displaying a first interface by the electronic equipment.

And N application icons are displayed in the first interface.

The N application icons are in an editable state, namely the first interface is in the editable state, and N is a positive integer.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the application icon displayed in the first interface is in the editable state, the electronic device may perform operations, such as selecting, moving, deleting and the like, on the application icon in the editable state.

In the embodiment of the present invention, an editable identifier is displayed at a target position (e.g., an upper left corner, an upper right corner, etc. of the application icon) of the application icon in the editable state.

For example, taking the first interface as a desktop interface as an example, as shown in (a) in fig. 3, 6 APP icons (e.g., APP1 to APP6 in fig. 3) are displayed in the desktop interface 31, and when the user wants to move the APP icons in the desktop interface 31, the user presses the blank position of the desktop interface 31 (i.e., the above-mentioned first input) for a long time, as shown in (b) in fig. 3, so that the 6 APP icons in the desktop interface 31 are in an editable state, i.e., the deletable identifier 32 is displayed in the upper left corner of the APP icon.

Step 203: and the electronic equipment receives a second input of the user to the first interface.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the description of the second input may refer to the description of the first input, and is not repeated herein.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second input is used to trigger the electronic device to perform an interface splitting operation, and the second input includes a selection operation of selecting a target application icon in the first interface. The target application icon is at least one application icon in the N application icons.

Step 204: and responding to the second input, the electronic equipment creates a target object and moves a target application icon corresponding to the second input into the target object.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device receives the second input, the electronic device may perform an interface splitting operation.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device performs an interface splitting operation, the electronic device splits the first interface based on an input position of the first input, where the split interface includes a first interface including the other application icons of the N application icons except for a target application icon selected by the second input, and a second interface including the target application icon selected by the second input.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the target object includes a second interface or a first folder.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second interface may include one interface, or may include a plurality of interfaces. In an example, the number of interfaces of the second interface is related to a second input, for example, if the second input splits the first interface into 4 interfaces, the electronic device needs to newly create three second interfaces.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first interface includes a first desktop interface, and the second interface is a second desktop interface; or, the first interface includes a folder interface of a second folder, and the second interface is a folder interface of the first folder.

It should be noted that, although the second input is used to trigger the electronic device to perform the interface splitting operation on the first interface, the interface type of the split interface may be the same as or different from the interface type of the first interface. That is, the first interface is a desktop interface, and the split second interface may be a desktop interface or a folder interface, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the second input from the user, the electronic device may select the target application icon in at least the following two manners.

In a first possible implementation:

illustratively, the second input is a sliding input of the user on the first interface, wherein the target application icon includes: and the sliding track of the sliding input is displayed in the closed area enclosed by the first interface.

For example, the sliding track of the sliding input may be a straight line or a curved line, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In an example, if the sliding track is a straight line, the enclosed area enclosed by the sliding track on the first interface may be: and a plurality of linear sliding tracks are enclosed in the closed area on the first interface, or the linear sliding tracks and the boundary of the first interface are enclosed in the closed area on the first interface.

In another example, if the sliding track is a curve, the curve may be at least one closed geometric shape surrounded by the sliding track of the curve on the first interface, such as: circular, square, rectangular, triangular, etc.

For example, when the sliding track overlaps with all or part of the display area of an application icon, the application icon is selected as the target application icon. In one example, the electronic device may determine whether to select an application icon as a target application icon based on a specific gravity of the application icon inside and outside the closed area; it is understood that the electronic device may determine whether to select the application icon as the target application icon by calculating a ratio between an area of the display area of the application program within the closed area and an area of the display area of the application program outside the closed area, e.g., when the ratio is greater than a predetermined threshold (e.g., 60%), then the application icon is determined to be selected as the target application icon.

It should be noted that the predetermined threshold may be a fixed value, or may be flexibly set according to actual requirements, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when the second input is a sliding input of the user on the first interface, and the electronic device receives the sliding input, the electronic device may display a track mark corresponding to a sliding track of the sliding input on the first interface, so that the user can conveniently view a target application icon selected by the sliding track. Further, the track mark may be a track pattern of the sliding track, and the electronic device may further set a style of the sliding pattern when displaying, such as setting a track pattern line form (solid line or dotted line), or setting a color of the track pattern line.

Example 1, taking the first interface as the desktop interface as an example, with reference to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4 (a), if the user wants to select APP icon 2 and APP icon 5 on the desktop interface 31, the user may draw a circle (i.e., the above-mentioned sliding input) on the desktop interface 31, in which the APP icon 2 and APP icon 5 (i.e., the above-mentioned target application icon) are circled. Next, as shown in (b) of fig. 4, a dashed trace 41 of the circle is displayed on the desktop interface 31 of the electronic device.

Example 2, taking the first interface as a folder interface as an example, as shown in fig. 5 (a), 4 APP icons (APP 7 to APP10 in fig. 5 (a)) are displayed on the folder interface 51 of the folder 1 of the electronic device, and all of the APP icons are in an editable state. If the user wants to select APP icon 8 and APP icon 10 (i.e. the above target APP icon) on the folder interface 51, the user can draw a circle (i.e. the above sliding input) on the folder interface 51 to circle APP icon 8 and APP icon 10. Next, as shown in fig. 5 (b), the dashed trace 52 of the circle is displayed on the folder interface 51.

For example, after the electronic device displays the track pattern corresponding to the sliding track on the first interface, if the user wants to select an application icon outside the track pattern, the user may adjust the shape and size of the track pattern, so that the track pattern can frame and select another application icon.

Therefore, after the electronic equipment receives the second input of the user, the electronic equipment determines a closed area on the first interface according to the sliding track of the second input on the first interface, and takes the application icons in the closed area as the target application icons, so that the target application icons on the first interface are selected.

In a second possible implementation:

for example, the electronic device may further divide the first interface into a plurality of sub-areas, so as to implement accurate splitting of the first interface.

For example, in a case that the second input includes a first sub-input and a second sub-input, and the first sub-input is a first sliding input of a user on the first interface, after the step 203, the icon moving method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps 203a and 203 b:

step 203 a: in response to the first sub-input, the electronic device divides the first interface into a plurality of sub-areas according to the sliding track of the first sliding input.

Wherein the second sub-input is input by a user to a target sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions.

Step 203 b: and responding to the second sub-input, and using the application icon in the target sub-area as a target application icon by the electronic equipment.

For example, the sliding track of the first sliding input may be a straight line or a curved line, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, after receiving the first sliding input, the electronic device splits the first interface according to the sliding track corresponding to the first sliding input.

In an example, if the sliding track of the first sliding input can form a closed region on the first interface, the closed region is directly used as a splitting region, and other regions outside the closed region are used as splitting regions. It should be noted that, for the description of the closed region formed on the first interface by the sliding track of the first sliding input, reference may be made to the above description of the closed region, and details are not described here again.

In another example, if the sliding track of the first sliding input does not form a closed area on the first interface, the first interface may be split by using the sliding track as a split line. For example, taking the sliding track as a straight line as an example, if the straight line does not intersect with the interface boundary of the first interface, the electronic device may extend the straight line so that both ends of the straight line intersect with the interface boundary of the first interface, and at this time, the electronic device may split the interface by taking the extended straight line as a split line.

For example, the second sub-input may be a touch input of the user to the target sub-area, or a voice instruction input by the user, or a specific gesture input by the user, which may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

In one example, the second sub-input may be a drag input that a user drags the target sub-region to an interface boundary of the first interface. It can be understood that when the electronic device detects that the dragging track of the dragging input reaches the interface boundary of the first interface, the second interface is newly built, and the target application icon in the target sub-area is moved to the second interface.

In another example, the second sub-input includes: user input to the target sub-region, and selection input to a target application icon in the target sub-region. The selection input is used for selecting all or part of the application icons in the target sub-area as target application icons.

Example 3, taking the first interface as the desktop interface as an example, with reference to fig. 3, as shown in (a) of fig. 6, after the user draws a straight line (i.e., the first sub-input) on the desktop interface 31, as shown in (b) of fig. 6, the electronic device divides the desktop interface 31 into an area 31a and an area 31b according to the straight line trajectory and 4 boundaries of the desktop interface 31. At this time, if the user wants to move the APP icon 3 and the APP icon 6 (i.e. the above target APP icon), the region 31b (i.e. the above target sub-region) containing the APP icon 3 and the APP icon 6 (i.e. the above second sub-input) may be clicked, thereby triggering the electronic device to split the region 62.

Next, referring to fig. 6 (b), as shown in fig. 7 (a), if the user wants to newly create a desktop interface (i.e., the second desktop interface) on the right side of the desktop interface 31, the user may drag the area 31b to the right (i.e., the second sliding input). At this time, when the end point of the drag track of the user drag area 31b reaches the right boundary of the desktop interface 31, the electronic device creates the desktop interface 32 and moves the APP icons 3 and 6 in the area 31b to the desktop interface 32, as shown in (b) in fig. 7.

Example 4, taking the first interface as a folder interface as an example, and combining (a) in fig. 5, as shown in (a) in fig. 8, the user draws a straight line on the folder interface 51 (i.e., the first sub-input), and as shown in (b) in fig. 8, the electronic device divides the folder interface 51 into an area 51a and an area 51b according to the straight line trajectory and 4 boundaries of the folder interface 51, at this time, if the user wants to move the APP icon 8 and the APP icon 10 (i.e., the target APP icon), the user may click the area 51b (i.e., the target sub-area) including the APP icon 8 and the APP icon 10 (i.e., the second sub-input), thereby triggering the electronic device to split the area 51 b.

For example, when the electronic device receives the first sliding input, the electronic device may display a track mark corresponding to the sliding track of the first sliding input on the first interface, so that a user can conveniently view the area division condition of the first interface. Further, the track mark is a track pattern of the sliding track, and the electronic device may further set a style of the sliding pattern when displaying, such as setting a track pattern line form (solid line or dotted line), or setting a color of a track pattern line, and the like.

Therefore, when the user arranges the icons, the interface of the first interface can be divided, the divided application icons in the target area are directly moved integrally, and the arrangement efficiency of the application icons is improved.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the second sub-input is a second sliding input of the user on the target sub-area, the first interface is a first desktop interface, and the second interface is a second desktop interface, the step 204 may include the following step 204 a:

step 204 a: and responding to the second sliding input, and the electronic equipment newly establishes a second desktop interface on the first side of the first desktop interface according to the sliding direction of the second sliding input.

Wherein the first side is a side to which the sliding direction points. For example, if the sliding direction is from right to left, the first side is the left side of the first desktop interface, whereas if the sliding direction is from left to right, the first side is the right side of the first desktop interface.

Illustratively, the second sliding input is used for triggering the electronic device to create a new second desktop interface.

For example, after receiving the second sliding input, the electronic device may determine a display position of the created second desktop interface relative to the first desktop interface according to a sliding direction of the second sliding input. For example, if the sliding direction of the second sliding input is right, the electronic device creates a second desktop interface on the right side of the first desktop interface, that is, the second desktop interface is a next desktop interface of the first desktop interface (as shown in (a) and (b) in fig. 7); or, if the sliding direction of the second sliding input is left, the electronic device newly creates a second desktop interface on the left side of the first desktop interface, that is, the second desktop interface is an upper desktop interface of the first desktop interface.

For example, after the electronic device receives the second sliding input, the electronic device triggers a new process of the second desktop interface only when it is detected that the trajectory endpoint of the sliding trajectory of the second sliding input reaches the interface boundary of the first interface.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, in a case that the second sub-input is a second sliding input of the user on the target sub-area, the first interface is a folder interface of a second folder, and the second interface is a folder interface of a first folder, the step 204 may include the following step 204 b:

step 204 b: in response to the second sliding input, the electronic device adds the folder icon of the first folder to the first side of the folder icon of the second folder according to the sliding direction of the second sliding input.

Wherein the first side is a side to which the sliding direction points.

Illustratively, the second sliding input is used for triggering the electronic device to create a new first folder.

For example, after the electronic device receives the second sliding input, the electronic device may determine a display position of the created folder icon of the first folder relative to the folder icon of the second folder according to a sliding direction of the second sliding input. For example, if the sliding direction of the second sliding input is right, the electronic device creates a folder icon of the first folder on the right side of the folder icon of the second folder; or if the sliding direction of the second sliding input is left, the electronic equipment creates the folder icon of the first folder on the left side of the folder icon of the second folder.

Example 5, in conjunction with (b) in fig. 8, as shown in (a) in fig. 9, if the user wants to move APP icon 8 and APP icon 10 in area 51b to the new folder (i.e. the first folder mentioned above), the electronic device may drag area 51b to the right (i.e. the second sliding input mentioned above). At this time, when the end point of the drag trace of the user drag area 51b reaches the right boundary of the desktop interface 33, as shown in (b) of fig. 9, the electronic device adds a new folder icon of the new folder (i.e. folder icon 2 in (b) of fig. 9) to the right side of the folder icon of the folder corresponding to the folder interface 51 (e.g. folder icon 1 in (b) of fig. 9), and moves APP icon 8 and APP icon 10 into the new folder.

Therefore, after the interface of the first interface is divided, the electronic equipment can quickly establish a second interface based on the sliding direction of the second sliding input of the user, so that the target application icon can be quickly moved from the first interface to the second interface, the operation of icon arrangement in the related technology is simplified, and the icon arrangement efficiency is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in a case that the first interface is a desktop interface, the first interface further displays at least one desktop interface identifier, and one desktop interface identifier indicates one desktop interface of the electronic device.

For example, the above-mentioned desktop interface identifier may be an interface thumbnail of the desktop interface indicated by the desktop interface identifier.

For example, with reference to the step 203a and the step 203b, the second sub-input includes an input of a target sub-area and a target desktop interface identifier by a user, that is, after the electronic device splits the first interface into a plurality of sub-areas, if the electronic device receives the second sub-input, the target application icon in the target sub-area may be directly moved to the desktop interface corresponding to the target desktop identifier. Wherein the target desktop identifier is at least one of the at least one desktop interface identifier.

In one example, the second sub-input may be an input that a user drags the target sub-region to the target desktop interface identifier.

For example, taking a desktop interface identifier as an interface thumbnail of a desktop interface as an example, as shown in (a) in fig. 10, it is assumed that a desktop of the electronic device includes a desktop interface 1 and a desktop interface 2, and a first interface 61 displayed by the electronic device includes all APP icons in the desktop interface 1 and the interface thumbnails 1 and 2 of the desktop interface 1 and 2. If the user wants to move APP icons 2 and 5 in the desktop interface 1 to the desktop interface 2, after the user circles and selects APP icons 2 and 5 (as shown in 62 in (a) of fig. 10, i.e. the first sub-input), as shown in (b) of fig. 10, the user may drag the target sub-area 62 containing APP icons 2 and 5 onto the interface thumbnail 2 (i.e. the second sub-input), and at this time, APP icons 2 and 5 are moved to the desktop interface 2.

For example, after the second desktop interface is newly created, the electronic device may further add a desktop interface identifier for displaying the second desktop interface on the first interface. In an example, the electronic device may determine a display position of the second desktop interface on the first desktop interface according to a relationship between the second desktop interface and other desktop interfaces, for example, if the second desktop interface is a next desktop interface of the first desktop interface, a desktop interface identifier of the second desktop interface may be displayed on a right side of a desktop interface identifier of the first desktop interface corresponding to the first desktop interface.

For example, in conjunction with (a) in fig. 10, as shown in (a) in fig. 11, when the user wants to newly create a desktop interface 3 (i.e. the second desktop interface), and move APP icons 2 and 5 to the newly created desktop interface 3, the user can drag the target sub-area including APP icons 2 and 5 to any boundary of the desktop interface 1 (i.e. the second sub-input), and at this time, as shown in (b) in fig. 11, the electronic device will newly create a desktop interface 3, and add an interface thumbnail 3 of the desktop interface 3 to the first interface.

Therefore, when the user arranges the application icons on the desktop interface, the area containing the application icons to be arranged can be directly dragged to the interface thumbnail of the desktop interface indicated by the desktop interface identifier, and therefore the icon moving efficiency is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device moves the target application icon to the second interface, the electronic device may rearrange the unmoved application icon on the first interface and the target application icon on the second interface.

For example, the process of typesetting the application icon by the electronic device can include at least one of the following: and changing the display position of the application icons, and sequencing the application icons according to a preset rule. In one example, the preset rule may be: and sequencing according to the sequence of the first name of the application icon, sequencing according to the priority of the application icon corresponding to the type of the application program, and sequencing according to the priority of the color of the application icon.

For example, when typesetting the target application icons on the second interface, the electronic device may display the target application icons on the second interface according to the display order and the display position of the target application icons on the first interface.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, before the electronic device receives the second input, the electronic device may perform typesetting on the application icon displayed on the first interface, so as to assist the user in selecting the target application program, or facilitate the user in performing region division.

For example, the process of typesetting by applying the icons may refer to the above description, and details are not repeated here.

Therefore, the electronic equipment places the application icons with the same type together by typesetting the application icons again, so that a user can select the application icons more quickly and conveniently, the interface containing the application icons is conveniently split, and the management efficiency of the application icons is improved.

According to the icon moving method provided by the embodiment of the invention, after receiving a first input of a user, an electronic device can display a first interface, N application icons are displayed in the first interface, the N application icons are in an editable state, then, after receiving a second input of the user to the first interface, the electronic device creates a new target object and moves a target application icon corresponding to the second input to the target object, the target application icon is at least one of the N application icons, and the target object includes a second interface or a first folder. Therefore, after the electronic equipment receives the second input, the interface of the first interface can be directly split, so that the split target application icon is directly moved to the target object, management of the application icon can be realized without manually creating a new interface or a new folder by a user in the whole process, operation steps in the moving process of the application icon are simplified, and management efficiency of the application icon is improved.
