Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It should be understood that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the application may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

In the process of implementing the present application, the inventors found that the related art has at least the following problems: the position of generating the folder is default, which may not meet the requirements of the user, and the user needs to perform secondary adjustment on the position of the folder by dragging, which increases the operation of the user and is very cumbersome for the user.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides an application icon management method and apparatus. An application icon management method and an application icon management device provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

First, a method for managing an application icon provided in an embodiment of the present application is described.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an application icon management method, which may include:

step 101, receiving a first input of a user to a first object and a second object under the condition that an application icon is in an editing state, and enabling the first object and the second object to be in a selected state.

For different electronic devices, a user can enter the application icon editing state in different ways, for example, for an android phone, the application icon editing state can be entered by long pressing a desktop blank, for an IOS phone, the application icon editing state can be entered by long pressing any icon on the desktop, and then selecting an "edit home screen" option in a pop-up menu, and so on.

Wherein, the first object and the second object may include but are not limited to at least one of the following: an application icon, a folder icon, the first input may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: long press input and click input. It will be appreciated that with the application Icon in the edited state, the user may select the Icon (Icon) by clicking on it (among other things). Here, since the purpose of the user entering the application icon editing state is to generate a target folder icon containing at least two icons, the user can select the at least two icons on the desktop in the application icon editing state. Since the icons displayed on the desktop may be of a single application or a folder, the icon selected by the user may be an icon of a single application (first object) or an icon of a folder (second object).

FIG. 2 illustrates a desktop view in the application icon editing state. As shown in fig. 2, in the case where the application icon is in the editing state, the upper right corner of each icon displayed on the desktop displays a mark (or may not display) indicating whether the icon is selected, the mark may be a circle, if an icon is selected, a check mark appears in the circle at the upper right corner of the icon, and if an icon is not selected, a check mark does not appear in the circle at the upper right corner of the icon.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, one page of the desktop includes the following icons: A. b, C, folder 1, D, E, F, folder 2, G, and H, where A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H can be viewed as icons of different single applications, and A, B, File 1, and E are icons that are selected by the user to be placed in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon to be created.

And 102, receiving a second input of the user.

Specifically, receiving the second input of the user may include: a second input by the user at the target location is received, and conversely, the target location is determined based on the second input, i.e., the target location is specified by the user via the second input.

The target location may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: a blank position, a position of the first object or the second object, a position of a third object, and the like, where the blank position may be a blank position on a desktop or a blank position in a desktop folder, the third object is an object on the desktop except the first object and the second object, and the third object may also include at least one of the following: application icons, folder icons.

The second input may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: long press input, draw preset graphical input, click input, etc. The long press input refers to press with the duration time exceeding a preset duration time; drawing the preset graphical input may include at least one of: drawing circles, drawing rectangular frames, drawing oblique lines and the like, wherein the oblique lines are similar to the effect of drawing one oblique line and drawing one rectangular frame by pressing a left key of a mouse on a desktop at ordinary times, and the position covered by the rectangular frame is the target position; the click input may be more than two clicks, such as a double click, a triple click, etc.

When the target position is the position of the third object, the third object may be considered to be selected by default, that is, the folder corresponding to the generated target folder icon may further include the third object. In this way, it is possible to avoid that the user performs a selection operation specifically on the third object when generating the target folder icon including the third object at the location where the third object is located, which is less and more convenient for the user.

And 103, responding to the second input, and generating a target folder icon at the target position.

And the folder corresponding to the target folder icon comprises the first object and the second object. The folder corresponding to the target folder icon is the folder indicated by the target folder icon.

In practical applications, a user may select a first object and a second object (at least two icons) first, and then perform a second input at a target location to generate a target folder icon of a corresponding folder containing the first object and the second object at the target location; the user may also perform a second input at the target location, and then select the first object and the second object (at least two icons) to generate a target folder icon in the target location, where the corresponding folder includes the first object and the second object.

In effect, after the target folder icon is generated at the target location, the embodiment of the application may automatically move the first object and the second object (at least two icons) selected in step 101 to the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, and accordingly, the first object and the second object are no longer displayed at the original locations of the first object and the second object. Therefore, the folder containing the first object and the second object (at least two icons) is generated and is generated at the target position designated by the user, the actual requirement (or actual desire) of the user is better met, the display position of the target folder icon does not need to be adjusted by the user for the second time, and the method is very convenient for the user.

According to the application icon management method provided by the embodiment of the application icon management method, under the condition that the application icon is in an editing state, first input of a user on a first object and a second object is received, and the first object and the second object are in a selected state; then receiving and responding to a second input of the user, and generating a target folder icon of a corresponding folder comprising the first object and the second object at a target position, wherein the first object and the second object comprise at least one of the following items: application icons, folder icons. Compared with the mode of generating the folder in the prior art, the mode of generating the folder on the desktop provided by the embodiment of the application can generate the folder at the position designated by the user, is simpler and more convenient for the user to operate, and better meets the actual requirements of the user.

Optionally, in order to better ensure that the target location is exactly the location where the user wants to generate the target folder icon, so as to generate the target folder icon according to the real requirement of the user, the step 103 may specifically include: responding to the second input, generating a target folder icon at a target position, and displaying the target folder icon at the target position in a first preset mode; and displaying the target folder icon at the target position in a second preset mode under the condition that a preset condition is met.

Further, when the target folder icon is displayed in the second preset manner, the folder corresponding to the target folder icon includes the first object and the second object, and the first object and the second object are no longer displayed at the original positions of the first object and the second object. That is, under the condition that the generation position of the target file is confirmed, the first object and the second object are moved to the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, so that the position of the target folder icon is more attached to the actual requirement of the user, and the secondary adjustment of the display position of the target folder icon by the user is avoided.

The first preset display mode represents that the user does not completely confirm that the target position is the position for generating the target folder icon, the second preset display mode represents that the user confirms that the target position is the position for generating the target folder icon, and the first preset display mode and the second preset display mode are different display modes.

For example, the first predetermined display mode may be a grayed or blurred transparent display mode (or other display modes), and the second predetermined display mode is a display mode for normally displaying icons on the desktop (i.e., displaying physical icons). As shown in fig. 2, when the target folder icon 11 is generated, the target folder icon 11 may be displayed in a transparent blurring manner.

The preset condition may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the duration of the target folder icon displayed in the first preset mode exceeds a preset duration; and receiving preset operations, such as clicking operations and the like, of the user aiming at the target file displayed in the first preset mode. In addition, it should be noted that the preset condition may be expanded or changed according to different situations, and is not limited to the above two situations, and the preset condition is intended to be used for determining whether the generation of the target folder icon at the target position is defaulted or approved by the user, and if so, the preset condition is satisfied.

An application icon management method provided by the embodiment of the application is described below by three examples.

First example

As shown in fig. 2, in the case where the application icon is in the edit state, if a long press input (one kind of second input) is performed at a blank position (one kind of target position) behind an existing icon in the current page of the desktop after A, B, file 1, and E are selected by the user, the target folder icon 11 is generated at the blank position, and at the beginning of the generation, the target folder icon 11 is displayed in the target position in a transparently ghosted manner.

Further, when the length of time of the user at the target position exceeds a preset length of time (e.g., 1s, one of preset conditions), the target folder icon displayed in the transparent blurring manner is displayed in the form of a physical icon.

Further, after the target folder icon 11 is completely generated, clicking the target folder icon 11 in fig. 2 can open the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11, and the opened folder is shown in fig. 3, and it can be seen that the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11 includes A, B, folder 1, and E, which are the four icons previously selected by the user.

Second example

As shown in fig. 4, in the case where the application icon is in the edit state, if the user performs a long press input (one type of second input) at the position where B is located (one type of target position) after selecting A, B and file 1 three icons, the target folder icon is generated at the position where B is located, and at the beginning of the generation, the target folder icon is displayed in a transparently blurred manner at the target position.

Further, when the time of the user at the target position exceeds a preset time (such as 1s), the target folder icon displayed in the transparent blurring manner is displayed in the form of a solid icon.

Further, after the target folder icon is completely generated, clicking the target folder icon in fig. 4 opens the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, and the opened folder is shown as a dashed box indicated by reference numeral 11 in fig. 4, and it can be seen that the folder corresponding to the target folder icon includes A, B and three icons selected by the user before, namely folder 1.

In fig. 4, the dotted frame and the dotted arrow 12 indicated by the reference numeral 11 are only for explaining the icons included in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon generated at the position of B, and in practical applications, the dotted frame and the dotted arrow 12 indicated by the reference numeral 11 are not generally displayed at the position of B and after the target folder icon is generated, and the display is not excluded.

Third example

As shown in fig. 5, in the case where the application icon is in the editing state, if a user selects A, B and file 1 three icons, and draws a slant line (a kind of second input) at a blank position 13 (a kind of target position) behind the existing icon in the current page of the desktop, the target folder icon is generated at the blank position, and at the beginning of the generation, the target folder icon is displayed in a transparent blurring manner at the target position.

Further, when the time for displaying the target folder icon in the transparent virtualization manner exceeds a preset time (for example, 1s), the target folder icon displayed in the transparent virtualization manner is displayed in the form of a physical icon.

Further, after the target folder icon is completely generated, clicking the target folder icon in fig. 5 opens the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, and the opened folder is shown as a dashed box denoted by reference numeral 11 in fig. 5, and it can be seen that the folder corresponding to the target folder icon includes A, B and three icons selected by the user before, namely folder 1.

In fig. 5, the dotted line frame and the dotted arrow 14 indicated by the reference numeral 11 are merely for explaining the icons included in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon generated at the position of B, and in practical applications, the dotted line frame and the dotted arrow 14 indicated by the reference numeral 11 are not generally displayed at the position of B and after the target folder icon is generated, and the display is not excluded.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, the user may flexibly select a target location where the target folder icon is desired to be generated and flexibly set a specific manner of the second input according to the needs of the user, and the specific manner is not limited to the manners listed in the above three examples.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 6, an application icon management method provided in another embodiment of the present application includes step 101, step 102, and step 103, and the method may further include:

and 104, receiving a third input of the first folder icon by the user under the condition that the folder corresponding to the target folder icon comprises the first folder icon.

Wherein the third input may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: click input and long-time press input. The first folder icon may be any folder icon included in a folder corresponding to the target folder icon.

And 105, responding to the third input, canceling the display of the first folder icon, and displaying an application icon in the first folder icon in a folder corresponding to the target folder icon.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, in response to an operation of opening a folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11 by a user, the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11 is opened, and the opened folder is shown in fig. 3; then, as shown in fig. 3, in response to a long press input by the user on the icon (first folder icon) of folder 1 in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11, the icon in folder 1 in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11 is then dismissed, and the dismissed icon is moved into the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11, as shown in fig. 7, at this time, the folder corresponding to the target folder icon 11 not only includes the original icons A, B and C, but also includes three icons that are dismissed from folder 1: 1-APP1, 1-APP2, and 1-APP3, but do not contain the icon of folder 1, which is dismissed as its internal icons are dismissed.

Through the embodiment shown in fig. 6, not only can the target folder icon be generated at the position designated by the user, but also the folders nested in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon can be dismissed, and the icons in the dismissed folders are placed in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon (the upper-level folder of the dismissed folder), so that the operation of the user for searching for the relevant icons is reduced, and the user can search for the relevant icons more quickly.

It should be noted that, for the case of nesting folders in folders, the nesting can include, but is not limited to, nesting at one level, and nesting at more than one level. That is, for the above example, the icons dismissed from folder 1 may also include folder icons.

And compared with the method for breaking up the nested folders, the method can also generate the nested folders so as to meet the personalized management requirements of the user on the desktop icons. Specifically, receiving a fourth input of the user when the folder corresponding to the target folder icon includes the first application icon and the second application icon; in response to the fourth input, generating a second folder icon in a folder corresponding to the target folder icon, where the folder corresponding to the second folder icon includes the first application icon and the second application icon, where the fourth input may be an input performed at a specified position within the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, and may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: long-time press input, drawing preset graph input and click input. In other words, at least two icons may be selected in response to a selection operation for at least two icons (the first application icon and the second application icon) in a folder corresponding to the target folder icon, and then a new folder is generated at a specified position in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon in response to a user operation for generating a new folder at the specified position, and the at least two icons are moved to the new folder, so as to generate a new folder containing the at least two icons in the folder corresponding to the target folder icon, that is, a nested folder.

The foregoing is a description of an application icon management method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the preset operation mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may include, but is not limited to, clicking, touching, sliding, long press and drag, and the like.
