The other column of thumbnails includes a first page B thumbnail, a second page B thumbnail, and a third page B thumbnail for presentation in the second display area. The user may perform a slide input (i.e., a second input) on the target icon in the interface shown in fig. 4 to move the target icon into the thumbnail of the first page a in the interface shown in fig. 4.

In a third exemplary embodiment, if the user wants to adjust the display position of the target icon of the first desktop page in the interface shown in fig. 2 to the display position of the icon a16 in the first page a. The user may click on a blank location of the display screen. The terminal receives a click input (i.e., a first input) at a blank position, and in response to the click input, performs an icon editing mode, and displays an interface shown in fig. 6. As shown in fig. 6, the terminal displays a first desktop page in a first display area 601 of the display screen. Two columns of thumbnails are displayed within a second display area 602 of the display screen. A column of thumbnails includes a thumbnail of a first page a, a thumbnail of a second page a, and a thumbnail of a third page a for presentation in the first display area. The other column of thumbnails includes a first page B thumbnail, a second page B thumbnail, and a third page B thumbnail for presentation in the second display area. The user may perform a slide input (i.e., a second input) on the target icon in the interface shown in fig. 6 to move the target icon to the position of the icon a16 in the interface shown in fig. 4, i.e., the user may press the target icon for a long time and drag the target icon to the display position of the icon a16 in the thumbnail of the first page a of the second display region.

Step 504, in the process of moving the target icon to the first position, when the target icon is located at the display position of the target thumbnail in the at least two thumbnails, displaying the desktop page corresponding to the target thumbnail in the first display area.

In the embodiment of the application, the target thumbnail is any one of at least two thumbnails. Note that the target thumbnail includes a first thumbnail.

And 505, displaying a mirror image icon of the target icon in the desktop page corresponding to the target thumbnail displayed in the first display area, wherein the display position of the mirror image icon in the desktop page corresponding to the target thumbnail corresponds to the target position, and the target position is the position of the target icon in the target thumbnail.

In the embodiment of the application, when the terminal moves the target icon to the first position and the target icon moves through the target thumbnail, the desktop page corresponding to the target thumbnail can be displayed in the first display area. Mirror images of the target icons may also be displayed in real time in the first display area. Optionally, the display position of the mirror image icon in the desktop page corresponding to the target thumbnail corresponds to the target position, and the display position may be: the display position of the mirror image icon in the desktop page corresponding to the target thumbnail is the same as the target position. Therefore, the user can further determine the moving condition of the target icon more intuitively, the target icon is controlled to move accurately, the visual effect of operation is improved, the operation efficiency is improved, and the user experience is improved.

The first example is the second example in the aforementioned step 503. In moving the target icon to the thumbnail of the first page a of the second display region, the terminal moves the target icon through the thumbnail of the first page a (i.e., the target thumbnail). With continued reference to fig. 4, the terminal displays the first page a in the first display region 401 and displays the mirror image icon of the target icon in the first display region 401. Here, since the target icon is only partially located within the thumbnail of the first page a, the terminal may display a partial mirror icon within the first display region 401 (a partial solid box of the first display region in fig. 4). The partially dashed and partially solid boxes in fig. 4 constitute a complete mirror image icon.

Continuing with the third example in step 503, the second example is illustrated. In the process of moving the target icon to the display position of the icon a16 in the thumbnail of the first page a of the second display area, the terminal moves the target icon past the thumbnail of the first page a (i.e., the target thumbnail). With continued reference to FIG. 6, the terminal displays a first page A in the first display area 601 and a mirror image icon of the target icon (solid box in the first display area of FIG. 6) in the first display area 601

Optionally, in the desktop page corresponding to the target thumbnail displayed in the first display area, the terminal may further display a moving track of a mirror icon of the target icon. The movement track is used for reflecting the movement track of the target icon in the target thumbnail. Illustratively, the terminal moves the target icon through the thumbnail of the first page a (i.e., the target thumbnail) in the process of moving the target icon to the display position of the icon a16 in the thumbnail of the first page a of the second display region. Referring to fig. 6, the terminal displays the first page a in the first display area 601, and displays a mirror image icon of the target icon (a solid frame of the first display area in fig. 6) and a moving track of the mirror image icon (an arrow pointing line from a dotted frame to a solid frame in fig. 6) in the first display area 601.

And step 506, adjusting the target icon to the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail.

When the movement termination position of the target icon is not at the first position, the terminal may not perform the adjustment operation of the target icon, or the terminal may adjust the display position of the target icon to the display position of the last icon in the first desktop page. When the movement termination position of the target icon is at the first position, the target icon can be adjusted to the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail. Optionally, the terminal may adjust the target icon to any position of the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail. Alternatively, the terminal may adjust the target icon to a second position in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail, the second position corresponding to the first position. Optionally, the position of the second position in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail is the same as the position of the first position in the first thumbnail. Or the position of the second position in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail corresponds to the position of the first position in the first thumbnail.

Alternatively, in a case where the terminal adjusts the target icon to the second position, the process of the terminal adjusting the target icon into the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail may include the following steps S1 to S2.

In step S1, a second position corresponding to the first position is selected from among the plurality of icon arrangement positions included in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail.

In this embodiment, the desktop page may include a plurality of icon arrangement positions, and the icons included in the desktop page may be located at the plurality of icon arrangement positions. Alternatively, the terminal may select, as the second position, an icon arrangement position having an overlapping area with a relative position in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail, from among a plurality of icon arrangement positions included in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail, where the relative position refers to the same position as the first position in the first thumbnail in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail.

In step S2, the target icon is adjusted to the second position in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail.

Optionally, the process of the terminal adjusting the target icon to the second position may include: when the icons are displayed at the second position, the terminal moves the icons located on the target arrangement positions backwards in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail by one icon arrangement position for displaying, and adjusts the target icons to the second position. The target arrangement position comprises a second position and an icon arrangement position behind the second position. When the icon is not displayed at the second position, the terminal can directly adjust the target icon to the second position.

It should be noted that the first position where the terminal control target icon terminates moving is located within the first thumbnail. Therefore, the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail is displayed in the first display area of the terminal. After the terminal adjusts the target icon into the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail, the terminal correspondingly adjusts the position of each icon in the desktop page corresponding to the first thumbnail displayed in the first display area. And the position of each icon in the first thumbnail displayed in the second display area is correspondingly adjusted.

Illustratively, the third example in step 503 is continued as an example. When the terminal moves the target icon to the display position of the icon a16 in the thumbnail of the first page a, the terminal adjusts the target icon to the display position of the icon a16 in the desktop page corresponding to the first page a. With continued reference to fig. 6, the terminal displays the first page a in the first display area 601, and displays a mirror image icon of the target icon in the first display area at the display position of the original icon a16 (solid-line frame of the first display area in fig. 6). And in the thumbnail image of the first page a displayed in the second display area, the target icon is displayed at the display position of the original icon a16 (solid frame of the second display area in fig. 6).

And 507, exiting the icon editing mode, and displaying a desktop page in the first display area and the second display area of the display screen respectively.

Optionally, the desktop page displayed by the terminal in the first display area of the display screen may be a first desktop page, and the first desktop page is the first desktop page after the target icon is adjusted in position. Alternatively, the desktop page displayed by the terminal in the first display area of the display screen may be any desktop page for displaying in the first display area. The desktop page displayed in the second display area may be any desktop page for presentation in the second display area.

In an alternative implementation manner, the terminal may exit the icon editing mode after finishing adjusting the target icon to the second position. For example, after the user moves the target icon to the second position and moves the finger or the touch device away from the screen, the terminal performs the operation of adjusting the target icon to the second position, that is, exits the icon editing mode.

In another alternative implementation, the terminal may receive a third input from the user, and in response to the third input, exit the icon editing mode, and display one desktop page in each of the first display area and the second display area of the display screen.

In the implementation of the application, if the position of the target icon is adjusted by the user, the third input can be executed, so that the terminal receives the third input of the user and executes the subsequent operation of exiting the icon editing mode. Alternatively, the third input may include a long press input or a slide input setting a trajectory, or the like. For example, the terminal may display an interface as shown in fig. 7 after receiving a third input from the user and exiting the icon editing mode in response to the third input. As shown in fig. 7, the first display area of the display screen displays a second page a, and the second display area displays a second page B.

It should be noted that, in the foregoing examples of the steps, the first desktop page and the desktop page of the first thumbnail are mainly described as the first page a. However, the user may of course move the target icon to thumbnails of other desktop pages to effect adjustment of the target icon to other desktop pages other than the first page a. The following two examples of desktop pages that may be presented as display screens include: a first page a, a second page a, and a third page a for presentation in the first display region, and a first page B, a second page B, and a third page B for presentation in the second display region. The first page a is taken as a first desktop page, and the first thumbnail is taken as a thumbnail corresponding to the first page B, that is, the user target icon is adjusted to the second page a. Alternatively, the first page B is taken as the first desktop page, and the first thumbnail is taken as the thumbnail corresponding to the second page a, that is, the user target icon is adjusted to the second page a.

In a first exemplary example, for a first page a as a first desktop page and a first thumbnail as a thumbnail corresponding to the first page B, the user wants to use the interface shown in fig. 2. And adjusting the display position of the target icon of the first desktop page to be in the first page B. The user may click on a blank location of the display screen. The terminal receives a click input (i.e., a first input) at a blank position, and performs an icon editing mode in response to the click input, displaying an interface shown in fig. 2. The user may perform a sliding input (i.e., a second input) on the target icon in the interface shown in fig. 2 to move the target icon into the thumbnail corresponding to the first page B in the interface shown in fig. 2, that is, the user may press the target icon for a long time and drag the target icon to move into the thumbnail of the first page B in the second display area. When the target icon moves to the thumbnail corresponding to the first page B, the terminal changes from the display interface shown in fig. 2 to the display interface shown in fig. 8.

As shown in fig. 8, the terminal displays two columns of thumbnails in a second display area 802 of the display screen. A column of thumbnails includes a thumbnail of a first page a, a thumbnail of a second page a, and a thumbnail of a third page a for presentation in the first display area. The other column of thumbnails includes a thumbnail for first page B, a thumbnail for second page B, and a B thumbnail for a third page for presentation in the second display area. The terminal may identify the display position in the first desktop page before the target icon adjustment in the thumbnail of first page a, which is identified with a dashed box within the thumbnail of first page a in fig. 8. In fig. 8, the target icon moves to the position indicated by the solid line box in the second display area, that is, the target icon moves to the thumbnail image corresponding to the first page B. The terminal displays the first page B in the first display area 801 of the display screen and displays the mirror image icon of the target icon (position shown by solid line box in fig. 8) within the first display area 801. The partial dashed and partial solid boxes in fig. 8 constitute a complete mirror image icon. And the terminal adjusts the target icon into the first page B.

In a second example, for a first page a as a first desktop page and a first thumbnail as a thumbnail corresponding to a second page a, the user wants to use the interface shown in fig. 2. And adjusting the display position of the target icon of the first desktop page to the second page A. The user may click on a blank location of the display screen. The terminal receives a click input (i.e., a first input) at a blank position, and in response to the click input, performs an icon editing mode, displaying the interface shown in fig. 2. The user may perform a slide input (i.e., a second input) on the target icon in the interface shown in fig. 2 to move the target icon into the thumbnail corresponding to the second page a in the interface shown in fig. 2. When the target icon moves to the thumbnail corresponding to the second page a, the terminal changes from the display interface shown in fig. 2 to the display interface shown in fig. 9.

As shown in fig. 9, the terminal displays two columns of thumbnails in a second display area 902 of the display screen. The two-column thumbnail is the same as the two-column thumbnail shown in fig. 8. The terminal may identify the display location in the first desktop page prior to the adjustment of the target icon in the thumbnail for second page a, which is identified in fig. 9 with a dashed box within the thumbnail for second page a. In fig. 9, the target icon moves to the position indicated by the solid line box in the second display area, that is, the target icon moves into the thumbnail image corresponding to the second page a. The terminal displays the second page a in the first display area 901 of the display screen, and displays a mirror image icon of the target icon (position shown by solid line box in fig. 9) within the first display area 901. And the terminal adjusts the target icon into the second page A.

In the embodiment of the application, when a display screen can display a large number of desktop pages, the second display area may not display thumbnails corresponding to all desktop pages. If the thumbnail currently displayed in the second display area does not include the destination desktop page which the user wants to adjust the target icon, the user may move the target icon to the target edge position of the second display area, so that the terminal displays the non-displayed desktop page in the second display area. The non-exposed desktop page may refer to a desktop page that is not displayed in the second display area in thumbnail form among all desktop pages.

Optionally, the method further comprises: and when the target icon moves to the target edge position of the second display area and an undisplayed desktop page which is not displayed in the second display area in the form of a thumbnail exists, updating the thumbnail displayed in the second display area by using the thumbnail of the undisplayed desktop page.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can judge whether the non-displayed desktop page exists or not when the target icon moves to the target edge position of the second display area. And when the non-displayed desktop page exists, updating the thumbnail displayed in the second display area by adopting the thumbnail of the non-displayed desktop page.

In an alternative implementation manner, the terminal adopts thumbnails of the non-displayed desktop pages, and the process of updating the thumbnails displayed in the second display area may include: and controlling the thumbnail displayed in the second display area to move towards the direction far away from the target edge position, canceling the display of the thumbnail moved out of the second display area, and displaying the thumbnail of the non-displayed desktop page in the second display area.

For example, it is assumed that the target edge position is a lower edge position of the second display area, and it is assumed that the non-displayed desktop page includes a fourth page a for being displayed in the first display area and a fourth page B for being displayed in the second display area. The user may perform the first input so that the terminal performs an icon edit mode, displaying the interface shown in fig. 2. In the process that the user performs the second input in the interface shown in fig. 2 and moves the target icon to the first position, the target icon may be moved to a lower edge position of the second display area. And updating the thumbnail displayed in the second display area by adopting the thumbnail of the non-displayed desktop page until the target desktop page which the user wants to adjust the target icon is displayed when the terminal determines that the non-displayed desktop page which is not displayed in the second display area in the form of the thumbnail exists.

As shown in fig. 10, the terminal moves the target icon to a lower edge position of the second display area 1002 based on the user's input. Meanwhile, since the target icon is located at the display position of the thumbnail of the third page a, the terminal displays the third page a, and the mirror image icon of the target icon (solid line box in the first display area in fig. 10) within the first display area 1001. When the target icon moves to the lower edge position of the second display area 1002 and it is determined that there is an undisplayed desktop page, the terminal controls the thumbnail displayed in the second display area 1002 to move in the direction of the upper edge position and displays the interface as shown in fig. 11. As shown in fig. 11, the terminal displays two columns of thumbnails in the second display area 1102. A column of thumbnails includes a thumbnail for second page a, a thumbnail for third page a, and a thumbnail for fourth page a (the desktop page is not shown). The other column of thumbnails includes a thumbnail for second page B, a thumbnail for third page B, and a thumbnail for fourth page B (the desktop page is not shown). After the thumbnail displayed in the second display area is updated, the target icon is located at the display position of the thumbnail of the fourth page a, and the terminal displays the fourth page a and the mirror image icon of the target icon in the first display area 1101 (solid line box in the first display area in fig. 11).

In another optional implementation manner, the terminal adopts thumbnails of the non-displayed desktop pages, and the process of updating the thumbnails displayed in the second display area may include: the terminal stops displaying the displayed thumbnails in the second display area and displays thumbnails of the non-displayed desktop pages in the second display area.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can also adjust the target icon to the new desktop page by establishing the new desktop page. Optionally, the second display area further displays a new desktop page identifier. The method further comprises the following steps: in the process of moving the target icon to the first position, when the target icon is located at the display position of the new desktop page identifier, a new desktop page is established, and a thumbnail of the new desktop page is displayed in the second display area. For example, a new desktop page identifier may be placed below the thumbnail.

Optionally, the desktop page for presentation in the first display area is different from the desktop page for presentation in the second display area. Therefore, the process of the terminal establishing a new desktop page and displaying the thumbnail of the new desktop page in the second display area may include: and establishing a new second desktop page and a new third desktop page, and displaying the thumbnail of the second desktop page and the thumbnail of the third desktop page in a second display area, wherein the second desktop page is used for being displayed in the first display area, and the third desktop page is used for being displayed in the second display area.

For example, assuming that the user wants to adjust the destination desktop page of the target icon to be a new third desktop page (fifth page B), the user may perform the first input so that the terminal performs the icon editing mode, and the interface shown in fig. 2 is displayed. In the process that the user performs the second input in the interface shown in fig. 2 and moves the target icon to the thumbnail (first position) of the third desktop page, the target icon may be moved to the new desktop page identifier first. And when the target icon is positioned at the display position of the new desktop page identifier, establishing a new desktop page, and displaying a new thumbnail of a third desktop page in the second display area. And then moving the target icon to a thumbnail of the third desktop page, and adjusting the target icon to a new third desktop page.

As shown in fig. 12, in the process that the terminal moves the target icon to the new desktop page identifier of the second display area 1202 based on the input of the user, the thumbnail through which the target icon is moved last is the thumbnail of the fourth page a, and thus the terminal displays the fourth page a in the first display area 1201. When the terminal moves the target graph to the new desktop page identifier of the second display area 1202 based on the input of the user, a new second desktop page (namely, a fifth page a) and a new third desktop page (namely, a fifth page B) are established, an interface as shown in 13 is displayed, and a thumbnail of the new desktop page is displayed in the second display area. As shown in fig. 13, the terminal displays two columns of thumbnail images in the second display area 1302. A column of thumbnails includes a thumbnail of the fourth page a and a thumbnail of the fifth page a (a thumbnail of a new desktop page). The other column of thumbnails includes a thumbnail of the fourth page B and a thumbnail of the fifth page B (a thumbnail of a new desktop page). And the terminal moves the target icon from the new desktop page identifier to the thumbnail of the fifth page B based on the input of the user. The target icon is located at the display position of the thumbnail of the fifth page B, and the terminal displays the fifth page a in the first display area 1301 and displays the mirror image icon of the target icon. And the terminal adjusts the target icon to the fifth page B and exits the icon editing mode.
