The following describes in detail a control method of a desktop component according to an embodiment of the present application through a specific embodiment and an application scenario thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a desktop component according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method for controlling a desktop component is applied to an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and a notebook computer.

The control method of the desktop component can comprise the following steps:

step 101: a first input to a target desktop component is received.

The target desktop component in this step includes at least two application icons, and a target association relationship is established between the at least two application icons.

The first input in this step is used to determine application icons with a target association relationship established in the target desktop component, and start application programs corresponding to the application icons.

Step 102: and responding to the first input, and starting the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons according to the target association relation.

In this step, after receiving the first input, the electronic device responds to the first input and starts the application program corresponding to the application icon with the target association relationship.

In the embodiment of the application, a plurality of application icons can be combined into one desktop component, and a target association relation is established among the plurality of application icons. Then, after receiving a first input executed on the target desktop component, the application programs corresponding to the application icons can be automatically started according to the target association relation.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, a user can start a plurality of application programs by operating one desktop assembly, so that the complicated operation that the user searches application icons in a desktop page for starting the application is omitted, and the user does not need to manually open each application program. In short, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application simplifies the starting operation of the application program and facilitates the use of the application program by a user.

As an optional embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, based on the target association relationship between the application icons, the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons may be started simultaneously.

As an optional embodiment, in the embodiment of the application, based on the target association relationship between the application icons, the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons may also be sequentially started according to a preset sequence. In the process of sequentially starting the application programs, under the condition that the previously started application program is detected to finish the preset operation, the application programs behind the previously started application program in the preset sequence are started again.

Optionally, the target association relationship in this embodiment may include: one of a primary and secondary incidence relation, a collaborative incidence relation and a linkage incidence relation.

And under the condition that the target association relationship is a main and auxiliary association relationship or a collaborative association relationship, after receiving first input to the target desktop component, simultaneously starting the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons. The primary and secondary association relationship and the collaborative association relationship may also be understood as follows: and simultaneously executing the relationship, namely, the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons need to simultaneously execute the functions supported by the application programs to achieve the purpose of the user.

And under the condition that the target association relationship is the linkage association relationship, after receiving a first input to the target desktop component, sequentially starting the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons according to a preset sequence. The linkage association relationship can also be understood as: the relationships are performed sequentially, i.e.: in order to achieve the purpose of the user, the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons need to execute the functions supported by the application programs according to a certain sequence.

The three relationships are further explained below.

(1) Primary and secondary association relation

The primary and secondary association relationship corresponds to a primary application and a secondary application, and therefore, when the target association relationship between the at least two application icons is the primary and secondary association relationship, an application program corresponding to one application icon of the at least two application icons is the primary application, and application programs corresponding to other application icons are the secondary applications. Wherein the secondary application serves the primary application and provides the primary application with target additional application functionality. It is understood that the primary and secondary relationships between applications may be preset.

For example, the target desktop component includes two application icons, icon a and icon B. A main and auxiliary association relation is established between the icon A and the icon B, the application A corresponding to the icon A is a main application, and the application B corresponding to the icon B is an auxiliary application. If application a is a game application and application B is a game acceleration application, application B may provide a game acceleration function for application a; or the application A is a game application, and the application B is a sound changer application, the application B can provide a sound changing function for the application A to change sound of voice input by a user in the game application. Assuming that the application a is a browser application and the application B is a translation application, the application B may provide a translation function for the application a, and may translate text information in a specific language in the browser application interface. For another example, if application a is an e-book application and application B is a music player application, application B may provide music playing function for application a, and the user may listen to a song while reading the e-book.

Generally, in addition to the game acceleration application and the translation application, applications such as a screen recording application, a screen recognition application, a reading and recording application, and the like can also be used as auxiliary applications to provide corresponding application functions for the main application.

In the case that the target association relationship between the at least two application icons is a primary and secondary association relationship, the "starting the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons according to the target association relationship" in step 102 may include: and simultaneously starting the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons according to the main and auxiliary association relation.

The common main application is in a foreground running state, the auxiliary application is in a background running state, and a toolbar window of the auxiliary application can be displayed on an application interface of the main application.

In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the first input to the target desktop component, the electronic device may start the application with the primary and secondary relationships at the same time, so that the secondary application provides a corresponding application function for the primary application. Wherein, can also set up: when the primary application closes, the secondary application also automatically closes.

For example, the target desktop component includes four application icons, which are: an application icon of a game application as a primary application and application icons of three applications of a game acceleration application, a sound changer application and a screen recording application as secondary applications. After receiving the first input to the target desktop component, the electronic device simultaneously starts the applications corresponding to the four application icons, so that the game acceleration application accelerates the game application, the sound changer application changes the sound of the voice input into the game application by the user, and the screen recording application records the screen of the game application interface. In this way, by performing one operation on the target desktop component, a plurality of applications can be automatically started without manually starting the applications by the user. When the electronic equipment detects that the game application is closed, the three auxiliary applications, namely the game acceleration application, the sound changer application and the screen recording application, can be automatically closed, so that the occupation of the application on the memory space is reduced, and the operation of manually closing the application by a user is also omitted.

Alternatively, the application icons having the primary and secondary association relationship may be displayed in a display manner as shown by 201 in fig. 2. In 201, the application program corresponding to the application icon a is a primary application, the application program corresponding to the application icon B and the application program corresponding to the application icon C are secondary applications, and three application icons form an application icon desktop component (i.e., a target desktop component). The display positions of the application icon B and the application icon C on the application icon A can be adjusted. After the primary application and the secondary application are all started, if the corresponding toolbar window of the secondary application needs to be displayed, the toolbar window of the secondary application can be displayed in the application interface of the primary application according to the position of the application icon of the secondary application on the application icon of the primary application. Of course, the position of the toolbar window may also be manually adjusted.

(2) Collaborative associative relations

When the target association relationship between the at least two application icons is a collaborative association relationship, the "starting the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons according to the target association relationship" in step 102 may include: and simultaneously starting the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons according to the collaborative association relationship.

Wherein, the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons are all in a foreground running state, namely: and the application interfaces of the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons are displayed on a screen of the electronic equipment.

The application programs corresponding to the application icons with the collaborative association relationship are established, and after the application programs are started, the application interfaces need to be operable at the same time, so that the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons need to be started at the same time, and the application interfaces of the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons are displayed on a screen of the electronic device. For example, when a conference application is used and a notepad application is also needed to be used for recording a conference, the application icons of the conference application and the application icons of the notepad application can be combined into a target desktop component and a collaborative association relationship is established, so that after the electronic device detects a first input to the target desktop component, the conference application and the notepad application can be simultaneously started and displayed in a split-screen manner, so that a user can record a conference through the conference application and also through the notepad application while conducting a conference through the conference application. In this way, by performing one operation on the target desktop component, a plurality of applications can be automatically started without manually starting the applications by the user.

When the application interfaces of the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons are both displayed on the screen of the electronic device, the application interfaces of the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons may be specifically displayed in a split-screen manner, or the application interface of one application program is displayed in a full screen manner, and the application interfaces of other application programs are displayed on the full-screen displayed application interface in a floating window manner.

Alternatively, the application icons having the collaborative association relationship may be displayed in a display manner as shown in 202 in fig. 2, and the application icon a and the application icon B are displayed in a close-up and side-by-side manner to be combined into an application icon desktop component (i.e., a target desktop component).

(3) Linkage association relationship

And under the condition that the target incidence relation between the at least two application icons is a collaborative incidence relation, the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons have sequential use relation in the use of the application functions.

For example, a user obtains a video a through shooting by a camera application, then needs to add the video a to the video clip application to perform processing operations such as video clipping, and then needs to publish the video a with the video clip completed to a friend circle platform of a social application, and there is a sequential use relationship in the use of application functions for the camera application, the video clip application, and the social application.

Based on the foregoing, the "starting the application program corresponding to the at least two application icons according to the target association relationship" in step 102 may include: and according to the linkage incidence relation and a preset sequence, sequentially starting the application programs corresponding to the at least two application icons.

And when the situation that the previously started application program completes the preset operation is detected, the application programs behind the previously started application program in the preset sequence are started again. For example, in the case where it is detected that the camera application completes the video shooting operation, the video clip application is started; in the event that the video clip application is detected to complete the video clip operation, the social application is launched. Therefore, by carrying out one-time operation on the target desktop component, the plurality of application programs can be automatically and sequentially started, the user does not need to manually start the application programs, and the user does not need to frequently switch the application programs.

After the previously started application program completes the preset operation, the preset operation result can be automatically added into the subsequently started application program. For example, the camera application and the beauty application are in linkage association, the camera application is started first, and the beauty application is started later. And when the camera application is detected to finish shooting operation, starting the beauty application, and adding the picture shot by the camera application into the beauty application.

Alternatively, the application icons having the linkage association relationship may be displayed in a display manner as shown in 203 in fig. 2, and the application icon B is displayed in an overlapping manner with the application icon a to be combined into an application icon desktop component (i.e., a target desktop component). The area of the application icon B is smaller than that of the application icon A, and the smaller the area is, the later the starting sequence is shown.

As an alternative embodiment, in step 101: before receiving the first input to the target desktop component, the method for controlling the desktop component may further include:

receiving a second input to the first desktop element and the second desktop element; in response to the second input, a target association relationship between the first application icons is established, and the first desktop element and the second desktop element are combined into a target desktop component.

Wherein, the first desktop element described herein is an application icon or a desktop component including at least one application icon. The second desktop element described herein is an application icon or a desktop component that includes at least one application icon. The first application icon is an application icon corresponding to the first desktop element and the second desktop element, and the number of the first application icons is at least two.

In the embodiment of the application, a plurality of application icons can be combined into a new desktop component (corresponding to the situation that the first desktop element and the second desktop element are both application icons); the application icon can also be added into the desktop component comprising the application icon to form a new desktop component (corresponding to the situation that one of the first desktop element and the second desktop element is the application icon, and the other desktop component is the desktop component); multiple desktop components including application icons may also be combined into a new desktop component (corresponding to the case where both the first desktop element and the second desktop element are desktop components).

Alternatively, the first input described herein may be a multi-touch operation, for example, two fingers may respectively press two application icons long and move the two application icons in a direction to approach each other, that is, a pinch operation is performed on the two application icons, as in fig. 3 for the icons "app 3" and "app 5", where the two solid arrows indicate the pinch direction. And when the overlapping area of the two application icons is larger than or equal to a preset value, combining the two application icons into a desktop component. Of course, an application icon and a desktop component may be operated to generate a new desktop component by a pinch operation, such as the pinch operation performed on the application icon "app 4" and the desktop component a in fig. 3, so that the application icon "app 4" and the desktop component a are aggregated into a new desktop component, where the two solid arrows indicate the pinch directions. It will be appreciated that two desktop components may also be manipulated by a pinch operation to create a new desktop component.

It will be appreciated that in addition to combining application icons and/or desktop components into a new desktop component in the manner described above, other implementations are possible. For example, the user can control the desktop to enter the editing state through a preset operation. In the editing state, the application icons and the desktop components including the application icons are in an editable state, and a user can select a required application icon and/or desktop component through a single-click touch operation. In the editing state, a desktop component generation control can be further displayed in the desktop, and after the user selects the application icon and/or the desktop component, the user can generate a new desktop component from the selected application icon and/or the desktop component by triggering the desktop component generation control.

As an alternative embodiment, the target association relationship in the embodiment of the present application may be determined according to an application type of an application program corresponding to the first application icon or set by a user, and these two manners are explained below separately.

Optionally, the aforementioned "establishing a target association relationship between the first application icons in response to the second input" may include:

in response to the second input, an application type of an application program corresponding to the first application icon is determined. And establishing a target incidence relation between the first application icons according to the application types of the application programs corresponding to the first application icons.

In the embodiment of the application, the target association relationship between the first application icons may be determined according to the application type of the application program. For example, the first application icon includes: the electronic book application corresponding to the electronic book application icon is a reading application and needs to be displayed in a screen for a user to read, and the music player application corresponding to the music player application icon is a listening application and mainly uses ears to listen, so that the electronic book application can be set as a main application, and the music player application can be set as an auxiliary application. This approach is highly automated.

Optionally, the aforementioned "establishing a target association relationship between the first application icons in response to the second input" may include:

displaying at least one association option in response to a second input; receiving a third input of the target incidence relation option; and responding to the third input, determining the incidence relation corresponding to the target incidence relation option as the target incidence relation, and establishing the target incidence relation between the first application icons.

And the target incidence relation option is one of the at least one incidence relation option.

In the embodiment of the application, the target association relationship between the first application icons can be set by a user. Specifically, at least one association option may be preset, and when a generation operation (i.e., a first input) of the desktop component is detected, the association option may be displayed, and the user selects the corresponding association option according to a requirement of the user. The association relation is selected by the user, so that the user requirements can be met better.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, three association relationship options are displayed, which are a main and auxiliary association relationship option, a linkage association relationship option, and a collaborative association relationship option. The user can select according to the self requirement. Optionally, the electronic device may also recommend an association relation option for the user according to the application type of the application program corresponding to the first application icon, as shown in fig. 4, the association relation option that is different from the main and auxiliary association relation options displayed by the other association relation options is the association relation option recommended by the electronic device. If the association relation option recommended by the electronic equipment is not the association relation which the user wants to set, the user can select according to the requirement of the user.

It is understood that the association option can also be set as: the simultaneous execution relationship and the sequential execution relationship.

Optionally, the main application and the auxiliary application need to be distinguished from each other in the plurality of application programs for the main and auxiliary association relationship, the display modes of the plurality of application programs need to be set for the collaborative association relationship, and the sequence starting order of the plurality of application programs needs to be set for the linkage association relationship.

For example, if the association relation option selected by the user is a primary and secondary association relation option, the first application icon may be displayed, and the user is prompted to select an application icon corresponding to the primary application from the displayed first application icons, and application programs corresponding to other application icons that are not selected are set as secondary applications by default. Optionally, the primary-secondary relationship before the application program may also be determined according to a second input, for example, when the second input is a pinch operation, the application program corresponding to the application icon touched first may be set as the primary application, and the application program corresponding to the application icon touched later may be set as the secondary application; when the pinch operation is performed, the position of one touch point is fixed, the other touch point moves to the fixed touch point, the application program corresponding to the application icon on the fixed touch point is set as the main application, and the application program corresponding to the application icon on the changed touch point is set as the auxiliary application.

For another example, if the association relation option selected by the user is the linkage association relation option, the first application icon may be displayed, and the user is prompted to set the sequence of starting the application programs. Specifically, the click sequence of the first application icon by the user may be set as the starting sequence of the application programs corresponding to the first application icon. Optionally, the sequential starting sequence between the application programs may also be determined according to the second input, for example, when the second input is a pinch touch operation, the application program corresponding to the first touched application icon is set to start first, and the application program corresponding to the second touched application icon is set to start later; when the pinch operation is performed, the position of one touch point is fixed, and the other touch point moves to the fixed touch point, the application program corresponding to the application icon on the fixed touch point is set to be started first, and the application program corresponding to the application icon on the changed touch point is set to be started later.

For another example, if the association option selected by the user is a collaborative association option, the user may be prompted to select a display mode, such as split screen display or stacked display. After the stack display is selected, the user is prompted which application program application interface is displayed in a full screen mode, which application program application interfaces are displayed in a floating window mode, and the like.

As an alternative embodiment, after step 102, the method for controlling the desktop component may further include:

receiving a fourth input to the target desktop component; under the condition that the target desktop component comprises two application icons, splitting the target desktop component into the two application icons; and in the case that the target desktop component comprises at least three application icons, moving the application icon of the fourth input operation out of the target desktop component.

In the embodiment of the application, the desktop component can be split.

When the target desktop component comprises two application icons, splitting the target desktop component into the two application icons after the splitting operation (namely, the fourth input) is executed on the target desktop component, and displaying the two application icons in the desktop page. At this time, the fourth input may be a multi-touch operation, for example, two fingers press the target desktop component for a long time, and the two fingers move away from each other, as shown in fig. 3, where the dotted arrow indicates the finger moving direction. And when the moving distance of the two fingers is greater than or equal to a first preset distance value, splitting the target desktop component into two application icons.

When the target desktop component comprises at least three application icons, after the target desktop component is subjected to splitting operation, the application icon of the fourth input operation is moved out of the target desktop component, and the application icon moved out of the target desktop component is displayed in a desktop page. At this time, the fourth input may include a long-press touch operation, a move touch operation, and the like, for example, as shown in fig. 5, the user presses "app 2" with a finger and then moves it away from the target desktop component, and moves "app 2" out of the target desktop component when the movement distance is greater than or equal to a second preset distance value. Wherein the dotted arrows in fig. 5 indicate the finger movement direction.

In the embodiment of the application, a plurality of application icons can be combined into a desktop component, and a target association relation is established among the plurality of application icons. Then, according to the target association relationship, after the first input is executed on the target desktop component, the application programs corresponding to the application icons can be automatically started. Therefore, a user can start a plurality of application programs by operating one desktop assembly, and the tedious operation that the user searches application icons in a desktop page for starting the application is omitted, so that the user does not need to manually open each application program. According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the starting operation of the application program is simplified, and the application program is convenient for a user to use.
