After the desktop application icon layout is performed again, the icon of the application 11, the icon of the application 12, the icon of the application 13, and the icon of the application 14 on the navigation bar 2041 of the second electronic device 20 are respectively located in the 1 st column, the 2 nd column, the 3 rd column, and the 4 th column of the navigation bar 2041 of the second electronic device desktop 204. This is the same position as the same application icon in the navigation bar 1051 of the desktop 105 of the first electronic device 10.

Wherein, since the first electronic device 10 may not install the application 15, the first information may not include the icon position of the application 15. I.e. the application 15 is a non-common application of the first electronic device 10 and the second electronic device 20. The icons of the application 15 can be arranged on the row 1, column 3 of the desktop 204 of the second electronic device 20 according to the principle of minimum moving distance.

In some embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may contain folders of the same name. One or more identical application icons are contained within the same name folder. After the layout is carried out again, the same-name folder on the second electronic equipment is reserved and arranged at the same position of the first electronic equipment, and the position of the same application icon in the same-name folder is the same as the position of the corresponding application icon in the first electronic equipment. After the new layout is carried out, the application icons which are different from the application icons on the first electronic equipment in the same-name folder on the second electronic equipment are moved out of the same-name folder, and the different application icons are moved according to the principle of the minimum moving distance.

In some embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device and the second electronic device contain folders of different names, but the same application icon is contained in the folders of different names. And after the desktop layout is carried out again, the folder with the different name on the second electronic equipment is moved to the same position as that on the first electronic equipment. And after the desktop layout is carried out again, the positions of the same application icons in the folders with different names on the second electronic equipment are the same as those on the first electronic equipment. And after the desktop layout is carried out again, the application icons which are different from the first electronic equipment in the folders with different names on the second electronic equipment are moved out of the folders and are moved according to the minimum moving distance principle.

In some embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device and the second electronic device include folders with the same name or different names, and the folders include the same application icon. After the layout is carried out again, the folder with the same name or different names on the second electronic equipment can be moved to the position same as that on the first electronic equipment, and the folder is moved according to the principle of minimum moving distance.

(2) For icons on the second electronic device 20 which are not commonly used with the icons on the first electronic device 10, the principle of moving the application icons in the smallest number is adopted, and the principle of moving the application icons in the smallest distance is adopted

In the embodiment of the present application, for an application (for example, the application 15 described in fig. 14) that is not installed in the first electronic device 10, the first information may not include an icon position of the application. I.e. the application is a non-common application of the first electronic device 10 and the second electronic device 20. The second electronic device 20 may determine the position of each application icon for these non-common applications by using the principle of minimum moving distance and the principle of minimum number of mobile application icons. It should be understood that the step-counting rule related to the moving distance in the embodiment of the present application is only used for explaining the embodiment of the present application, and should not be construed as a limitation.

For example, referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a schematic view of some user interfaces provided by embodiments of the present application. The desktop of the first electronic device 10 is the desktop 105 described with reference to fig. 13. As shown in (a) of fig. 15, the first electronic device 10 and the second electronic device 20 are each installed with an application 1, an application 3, an application 4, an application 7, an application 8, an application 9, an application 10, an application 12, an application 13, and an application 14. I.e. these applications are common applications.

After receiving the first information, the second electronic device 20 determines the positions of the commonly applied icons on the desktop according to the first information. The common application icons are located at the same position on the desktop as the corresponding application icons on the first electronic device 10. For example, as shown in fig. 15 (B), if the position of the icon of application 1 on the desktop 105 of the first electronic device 10 is row 1, column 1, the position of the icon of application 1 on the desktop 204 of the second electronic device 20 after the desktop icon layout is performed again is row 1, column 1.

The

applications

15 and 16 on the second electronic device 20 are non-common applications with the first electronic device 10. I.e. the first electronic device 10 has not installed the application 15 and the application 16.

For non-common applications (application 15 and application 16), the number of application icons moving on the desktop 204 is minimized, and the total distance the application icons move is minimized. Specifically, as shown in fig. 15 (B), icons of the non-common applications 16 are located in the 1 st column of the navigation bar 2041 before the desktop icon layout is not resumed. After the re-layout, the icons of the applications 16 are still in column 1 of the navigation bar 2041. For non-common applications 15, row 2, column 3 of the desktop 204 is located before the desktop icon layout is not redone. After the re-layout, the icon for the application 15 is located on row 2, column 2 of the desktop 204, moving 1 step. The number of application icons that are moved on the desktop 204 is minimized (move 1 application icon, i.e., application 16 icon), and the total distance that the application icons are moved is minimized (move 1 step).

For example, referring to fig. 16, fig. 16 is a schematic view of some user interfaces provided by embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 16, the application 15 and the application 17 on the second electronic device 20 are non-common applications. Icons for non-common applications 15 are located on row 2, column 3 of the desktop 204 before the desktop icon layout is not redone. After the re-layout, the icon for application 15 is located on row 2, column 3 of desktop 204, moving by 1 step. For icons of non-common applications 17, row 1, column 3 of the desktop 204 is located before the desktop icon layout is not redone. After the re-layout, the icon for application 17 is located on row 1, column 3 of desktop 204, moving 1 step. The total distance the application icon moves is as small as possible (move 2 steps).

In addition, the second electronic device 20 does not have the application 10 installed thereon, and the second electronic device 20 may set the icon of the application 9 on the 3 rd row and 1 st column of the desktop 204 at the same position as the folder 1 on the first electronic device 10. The folder 1 contains icons of the applications 9.

In some embodiments of the present application, the desktop of the first electronic device 10 and the desktop of the second electronic device 20 may both comprise folders, e.g., the desktop of the first electronic device 10 comprises folder 3 and the desktop of the second electronic device 20 comprises folder 4. When the folder 3 and the folder 4 contain the same APP, the second electronic device 20 may adjust the folder 4 to the position of the folder 3 on the desktop according to the first information, and the application icons in the folder 4 also exist in the folder 3 after the layout is rearranged. The second electronic device 20 may also adjust the name of the folder 4 to be the same as the name of the folder 3. For example, the folder 3 includes an icon of the application 1 and an icon of the application 2. The folder 4 includes an icon of the application 2 and an icon of the application 3. The second electronic device 20 performs the desktop icon layout again, the folder 4 also includes the icon of the application 1 and the icon of the application 2, and the position of the folder 4 on the desktop of the second electronic device 20 is the same as the position of the folder 3 on the first electronic device 10.

In some embodiments of the present application, after the desktop icon layout is resumed according to the first information, the icon of the application 1 in the folder 5 on the second electronic device 20 needs to be removed from the folder 5. After removal, the folder 5 may still contain a plurality of application icons. After the desktop icon layout is resumed, the folder 5 can still exist with the minimum moving distance.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned folder scheme is only illustrated in the embodiment of the present application and should not be construed as limiting.

In the embodiment of the present application, the calculation of the moving distance of the icon on the second electronic device 20 is described below.

The icon moving distance on the second electronic device 20 refers to a distance that the same application icon moves on the desktop before and after the desktop icon layout is performed again by the second electronic device 20. The distance is in units of the number of steps of the icon adjacent to the non-navigation bar area on the desktop. The following examples are given.

Application icon to non-navigation bar on desktop

Before and after the desktop icon layout is repeated, the moving steps of the same application icon on the desktop checkerboard are the moving distance of the application icon. Here each step of application icons can only be moved to the position of the application icons adjacent up, down, left and right. For example, in the user interface shown in (a) and (B) of fig. 16, the application icon of application 1 moves from row 2, column 4 to row 1, column 1 for 4 steps. The icon of the application 15 moves from row 2, column 3, to row 2, column 2, for a total of 1 step.

When the application icons of the non-navigation bar on the desktop move to the navigation bar, the total moving step number is +10 steps moving on one page according to the checkerboard of the desktop. It is understood that the embodiment of the present application takes 10 steps as an example, and is not limited to this value, and other values may be added.

When the application icons of the non-navigation columns on the desktop move from one page of the desktop to another page, the total moving steps are +10 steps of moving on one page according to the checkerboard of the desktop. For example, referring to fig. 17, fig. 17 is a schematic view of some user interfaces provided by embodiments of the present application. Fig. 17 (a) shows the desktop 204 before being rearranged according to the first information. As shown in fig. 17 (a), the desktop 204 may further include a page indicator 2042, where the page indicator 2042 indicates that the currently browsed page is the rightmost page, and the user may slide to the left to cause the second electronic device 20 to switch to display to the other two left pages. After the second electronic device 20 performs the desktop icon layout again according to the first information, as shown in (B) of fig. 17, the page indicator 2042 indicates that the icon of the application 15 is set in the desktop middle page. Move from position 1 to position 2, i.e., move 1 step, shown in fig. 17 (B) on one page according to the desktop checkerboard. Position 1 is where the application 15 was on a page before the layout was changed, i.e. row 2, column 3 of the desktop. The total number of steps of the move is 11 (i.e., 1 step +10 steps).

The navigation bar 2041 and the desktop 204 in fig. 17 (a) can refer to the description in fig. 16 (a), and are not described here again.

② application icon for navigation bar

And the application icons of the navigation bar are not guided to the navigation bar when being moved to the desktop, and the total moving step number is +10 of the step number of the movement on one page according to the checkerboard of the desktop.

And moving the application icons of the navigation bar in the navigation bar according to the step number of the movement of the desktop checkerboard.

③ application icon in folder

And the application icon is moved out of the folder, and the application icon calculates the checkerboard moving steps by taking the position of the folder as a starting point.

In some embodiments of the present application, the total number of steps the folder moves as the entire folder moves before and after the desktop icon layout is redone is the number of steps the desktop checkerboard moves through a page multiplied by 10.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the number of icons that need to be moved in the non-commonly applied icons on the second electronic device 20 is n (n is an integer greater than or equal to 1), the exhaustive icon moving method has n factorial methods. In this embodiment of the application, the second electronic device 20 may determine the scheme for moving the icon by using a principle that the number of the application icons is minimum and a principle that the moving distance of the application icon is minimum. Therefore, the calculation amount of the second electronic device 20 can be reduced, the occupation of a processor and a memory of the second electronic device 20 is reduced, and the running speed of the device is improved.

In the embodiment of the present application, not limited to the scheme for determining the moving icon, the second electronic device 20 may also use other algorithms to determine the scheme for determining the moving icon. For example, the second electronic device 20 may also adopt the hungarian algorithm with a computational complexity of n³。
