The technical solution of the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an icon display method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to an intelligent terminal, the intelligent terminal has a human-computer interaction interface, and the type of the human-computer interaction interface is not limited, and may be, for example, various display screen types such as a curved screen and a straight screen. A plurality of application icons are displayed in the human-computer interaction interface, the icon types are not limited in the application, and the application can be any icon in the intelligent terminal. The method comprises the following steps:

s10, receiving an amplification instruction of an application icon selected by a user, wherein the amplification instruction is sent by executing preset operation on the application icon;

s11, setting an amplification display area at a preset position of a human-computer interaction interface, amplifying the application icon to a preset size and displaying the application icon in the amplification display area;

s12, receiving a user switching and amplifying instruction;

s13, switching and displaying the corresponding application icons in the enlarged display area;

s14, receiving an opening instruction of a user for the application in the enlarged display area;

and S15, opening an application interface, displaying the application interface in the human-computer interaction interface, and closing the amplification display area.

According to the embodiment of the application, when the man-machine interaction interface is in an original display state, namely, all application icons are sequentially displayed in the man-machine interaction interface according to an original display sequence and display size, at the moment, after an amplification instruction of an application icon selected by a user is received, an amplification display area is arranged at a preset position of the man-machine interaction interface, the selected application icon is amplified to a preset size and displayed in the amplification display area, and when an amplification instruction of the user for switching is received, the corresponding application icon can be switched and displayed in the amplification display area. According to the scheme, the user can select part of the icons to be amplified and displayed, and other icons are normally displayed, so that the requirement of the user on amplifying the icons is met, the effect of attractive interface is achieved, and the user experience is enhanced.

In order to meet the requirement of a user for amplifying and displaying icons, the embodiment of the application can select an icon first when the user wants to amplify the icon for viewing, and sends an amplifying instruction by executing a preset operation on the application icon. According to the embodiment, the amplifying instruction can confirm that the user sends the amplifying instruction for the icon by recognizing that the icon selected by the user is touched for the preset time. It is understood that the sending manner of the command is not limited to this, and for example, the zoom-in command may be sent by selecting the icon and dragging the icon to a preset position, such as a center position of the human-computer interaction interface.

According to the embodiment of the application, after the amplification instruction is received, an amplification display area is arranged at the preset position of the man-machine interaction interface, and the application icon selected by the user is amplified to the preset size in the amplification display area and then displayed. For example, the preset position may be a central position of the human-computer interaction interface, but is not limited thereto. The size of the amplification display area can be set to be matched with the amplified icon, so that the icon selected by the user is amplified and displayed.

When the selected application icon is displayed in an enlarged manner, the rest of icons can be displayed around the enlarged display area according to the original display sequence without being covered, and optionally, the application icon at the position of the enlarged display area is occupied by the enlarged display area, and the application icon at the position can be moved to the original position of the enlarged displayed icon.

In practical applications, there may be a possibility that a user cannot see an icon before the icon is enlarged, and after the icon is enlarged and displayed, the icon selected for enlargement is found not to be an icon corresponding to an application that is desired to be operated, and for this case, the embodiment of the present application provides a corresponding solution, in which a user switching enlargement instruction is received, which is to switch to enlarge and display other icons in the enlargement display area, as described in step S12.

The switching amplification instruction in the first embodiment of the application may be acquired by recognizing a blank area where a user touches the human-computer interaction interface and moving the blank area along a first direction or a second direction. The blank area may be a non-application icon display area, i.e. touching the area does not open any application. The blank area may be, for example, a side edge of a curved screen. The movement along the first direction or the second direction, that is, the touch point in the blank area touched by the user moves back and forth, for example, if the right edge of the curved screen slides up and down, the sliding up is the first direction, and the sliding down is the second direction.

In a second embodiment of the present application, the switching amplification instruction may be to select the amplification display area for a user, and move the amplification display area to a display position of another icon; or

In a third embodiment of the present application, the switching and amplifying instruction may select another icon for the user and move the selected icon to the amplifying display area;

it is to be understood that the switching amplification instruction may also be sent by other manners, and the application is not limited thereto.

When the switching and amplifying operation is executed, the switched icon is amplified and displayed in the amplifying and displaying area, and the icon displayed in the amplifying and displaying area returns to the original display position and size for displaying.

In addition, regarding the method for switching the sending mode of the zoom-in command in the first embodiment, correspondingly, an embodiment of the step of switching and displaying the corresponding application icon in the zoom-in display area may be:

1) if the application icons move along the first direction, the application icons in the first display direction of the application icons currently selected by the user are sequentially switched and displayed in the amplification display area;

2) and if the application icon is moved along the second direction, sequentially switching and displaying the application icon in the second display direction of the application icon currently selected by the user in the amplification display area.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, in the original icon display state, a display order is recorded for each icon, for example, according to a current display position of the icon, the icons are sequentially sorted from top to bottom and from left to right, after receiving a switching and amplifying instruction, a currently selected application icon (that is, an icon currently being displayed in an amplifying display area in an amplifying manner) is used as a start position, if the application icon is moved along a first direction, an icon in front of the currently selected icon is sequentially displayed in the amplifying display area, and if the application icon is moved along a second direction, an icon behind the currently selected icon is sequentially displayed in the amplifying display area. For example, when the icon ranked as 4 is displayed in the current enlarged display area, and the user touches the edge of the curved screen to slide upwards, the icons in front of the icon ranked as 4 are sequentially displayed in the enlarged display area, such as the icons ranked as 3-ranked as 2-ranked as 1 are sequentially displayed in the enlarged display area. If the curved screen edge slides downwards, icons sorted behind the icons sorted 4 are displayed in the enlarged display area in sequence, for example, icons sorted behind the icons sorted 5, sorted 6, sorted 7 and the like are displayed in sequence.

For a scenario in which the user finds that the selectively enlarged icon is not an icon corresponding to an application that the user wants to operate, another embodiment of the present application further provides a solution, as follows:

and receiving a magnification display abandoning instruction of a user for the application in the magnification display area, and displaying the application icon in the magnification display area at a preset position of the man-machine interaction interface. That is, the enlargement display of the icon which is currently selected for enlargement is discarded, and then a discard enlargement display instruction may be transmitted. The application icon in the enlarged display area is displayed at a preset position of the human-computer interaction interface, and the size of the original icon is restored at the preset position for displaying, for example, the icon can be displayed at the upper left corner of the whole human-computer interaction interface. The rest icons can restore the original display positions, and can be rearranged according to the original arrangement sequence and then displayed.

The method for identifying the abandon zoom-in display instruction provided by an embodiment of the application may be: and recognizing the selected application icon in the enlarged display area, and moving the application icon to one side edge of the human-computer interaction interface at a preset speed. Still taking the curved screen as an example, the manner of sending the abandoning and amplifying instruction by the user may be to select the icon in the amplifying display area, drag the icon to the edge of the side surface of the curved screen quickly, bounce the icon in the amplifying display area to the upper left corner of the interface at this time, and restore the size of the original icon for display, that is, non-amplifying display.

And then the icons which are abandoned to be amplified and displayed can be sequentially arranged at the preset position of the man-machine interaction interface according to the mode. That is, the icons to be enlarged are sequentially selected for enlarged display, and if the icons are not intended to be enlarged, the icons are discarded from enlarged display, and may be sequentially arranged in the upper left corner of the interface, for example. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, when the applications that are abandoned to be displayed in an enlarged manner reach the preset number, if the application icons are enlarged to the preset size for display if the application icons are received an enlargement instruction, the application icons are enlarged. For example, if the number of icons that are discarded from the enlarged display has reached 3, then all the icons are directly enlarged and displayed when the user selects the 4 th icon to enlarge. If all the icons cannot be displayed on the current interface after the current interface is enlarged, part of the icons are automatically adjusted to the next display page, and for example, the following icons can be displayed to the next display page according to the arrangement sequence of the original icons. And after the user selects one application to be opened, restoring the original display size and display sequence of all the icons to be displayed.

If the user selects to open the application in the enlarged display area, after receiving an opening instruction of the user for the application in the enlarged display area, as described in step S15, opening the application interface, displaying the application interface in the human-computer interaction interface, and closing the enlarged display area, where closing the enlarged display area is to restore all the icons to the original display state and display order.

For the convenience of understanding the above solution, the operation process of the above method is illustrated below by taking fig. 2 as an example, and the operation of the curved screen is only illustrated in this embodiment.

As shown in fig. 2-1, which is a schematic view of an original display state of an interface in a state where no amplification operation is performed, a plurality of application icons are sequentially displayed in the interface according to an original size, and for convenience of description, the application icons are described by numbers, which are 1 to 9 respectively. In the drawings, the display shape of each icon will be described by taking an elliptical shape as an example. When a user presses the application icon with the number 3 for a long time, the intelligent terminal recognizes an amplification instruction of the application icon with the number 3, the state of amplification display of a part of icons shown in fig. 2-2 is entered, an amplification display area is arranged at the center of an interface, the application icon with the number 3 is displayed in the amplification display area, namely, the application icon is displayed at the center of the interface, other icons surround the periphery of the amplification display area and are displayed according to an original display sequence, at the moment, if the application with the number 3 selected by the user is not an intended application, the user can touch the edge of the curved screen and slide up and down to send a switching amplification instruction, for example, the application icons with the numbers 2-1 are sequentially amplified and displayed in the amplification display area when the application icon with the number 3 slides up; sliding down enlarges the application icons numbered 4-5-6 … in the enlarged display area in sequence. Under the condition that the switching amplification instruction is not recognized, a user can select an application icon in the amplification display area and quickly move to the edge of the curved screen to send an amplification abandoning instruction, correspondingly enter an amplification abandoning display operation interface shown in the figure 2-3, after the icon in the amplification display area is quickly moved to impact the right edge of the curved screen in the interface, the icon in the amplification display area is rebounded to the upper left corner of the interface, as shown in the figure 2-4, if the operation of amplifying to the amplification abandoning is repeatedly executed until the number of the icons is abandoned to reach 3, as shown in the figure 2-5, the application icons which are executed with amplification abandoning are sequentially arranged and displayed at the upper left corner of the interface, after the next amplification instruction is received, the interface enters the state shown in the figure 2-6, and all the icons in the interface are amplified and displayed, if the current interface can not display all the different magnifications, the part of the numbers can be examined until the icons are magnified and displayed on the next page. In this state, the user can see all the icons of the interface, and after the user selects one application to be opened, all the icons are restored to be displayed in the original display size and display sequence.

For example, the human-computer interaction interface is a curved touch screen, and the step of touching the blank area of the human-computer interaction interface comprises: and touching the curved surface edge of the man-machine interaction interface, wherein the first direction is the direction from top to bottom, and the second direction is the direction from bottom to top. For example, the step of displaying the application icon in the enlarged display area at the preset position of the human-computer interaction interface includes: and displaying the application icon in the enlarged display area at the top position of the display area of the human-computer interaction interface.

The invention also provides an icon display system which adopts the icon display method.
