The icon hiding method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

The icon hiding method in the embodiment of the application can be applied to the scene of hiding the icon.

At present, some application programs have private data, and if a user does not want to be seen by others, icons of the application programs are hidden through password encryption and the like. However, the encryption hiding mode is general, and other people can easily know that the electronic device has the hidden application program, so that the hidden application program can be found out by cracking the password of the electronic device. The embodiment of the application provides an icon hiding mode, and the hiding mode is more hidden; the difficulty of cracking is increased, and other users cannot easily know that the electronic equipment has the hidden icon.

In the scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, when the electronic device displays the target interface, a user can input the target interface, so that the electronic device determines M unlocking icon positions, M unlocking icons and icons to be hidden in at least one icon and at least one icon position, the M unlocking icon positions correspond to the M unlocking icons one by one, and then the icons to be hidden are hidden under the condition that N unlocking icons in the M unlocking icons are not in the unlocking icon positions. In the scheme, when the electronic device displays the target interface comprising at least one icon and at least one icon position, a user can input to trigger the electronic device to determine that part of the icon positions are unlocking icon positions from the at least one icon position, determine that part of the icons are unlocking icons corresponding to the unlocking icon positions from the at least one icon, that is, one unlocking icon position corresponds to one unlocking icon, and determine one or more icons to be hidden, and then hide the icons to be hidden when one or more unlocking icons in the part of the unlocking icons are not located in the unlocking icon positions (that is, located in non-unlocking icon positions), so that the icons to be hidden can be displayed only when the user wants to display the icons to be hidden subsequently, the unlocking icon or unlocking icons must be located in the unlocking icon positions, and thus, the mode of hiding the electronic device is more secret, and the safety of an application program in the electronic device is improved.

An embodiment of the present application provides an icon hiding method, and fig. 1 shows a flowchart of the icon hiding method provided in the embodiment of the present application, where the method may be applied to an electronic device. As shown in fig. 1, the icon hiding method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include steps 201 to 203 described below.

Step 201, in the case of displaying the target interface, the electronic device receives a first input.

In this embodiment, the target interface includes at least one icon and at least one icon position.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input is used to determine M unlocking icon positions, M unlocking icons, and an icon to be hidden.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the at least one icon may include at least one of: an icon of at least one application, an icon of at least one folder.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the at least one icon bit may be at least one of: at least one empty icon position, at least one icon position with an icon displayed.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the empty icon position may be understood as: if no icon (i.e., an icon of an application and/or an icon of a folder) is displayed in the icon bit in the desktop, the icon bit is referred to as an empty icon bit.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the target interface may be an interface corresponding to a folder expansion interface; or, the target interface is an interface corresponding to one page in the desktop.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, before the electronic device receives the first input, the user may input one folder icon, and trigger the electronic device to enter an icon hiding setting interface (i.e., a target interface), where the icon hiding setting interface includes all icons in the one folder, and mark an empty icon position in the one folder in a target manner.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, before the electronic device receives the first input, a user may input any position in the desktop, and trigger the electronic device to enter an icon hiding setting interface (i.e., a target interface), where the icon hiding setting interface includes all icons of a currently displayed page of the desktop, and mark a vacant icon position in the currently displayed page of the desktop in a target manner.

Illustratively, taking an electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, as shown in fig. 2 (a), a user presses a desktop for a long time, as shown in fig. 2 (B), the mobile phone is triggered to display an icon hiding setting interface (i.e., a target interface) corresponding to a currently displayed page of the desktop, where the icon hiding setting interface includes at least one icon (e.g., an icon of application 1, an icon of application 2, an icon of application 3, an icon of application 4, an icon of application 5, an icon of application 6, an icon of application 7, and an icon of application 8) and at least one icon position (e.g., an empty icon position 11, an empty icon position 12, an empty icon position 13, and an empty icon position 14), and the empty icon position is indicated by a dashed-line frame in fig. 2.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the target mode may be any one of the following: a dashed frame, a solid frame, a dotted frame, a double frame, etc.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the target interface may be a folder expansion interface or a page in a desktop.

Step 202, the electronic device determines M unlocking icon positions, M unlocking icons, and icons to be hidden in response to the first input.

In an embodiment of the application, the M unlocking icon positions are icon positions in at least one icon position, the M unlocking icons are icons in at least one icon, the icon to be hidden is one or more icons in the at least one icon except the M unlocking icons, the M unlocking icon positions correspond to the M unlocking icons one to one, and M is a positive integer.

It is understood that one unlock icon is displayed on each of the M unlock icon positions.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input includes a first sub-input and a second sub-input. The step 202 can be specifically realized by the following steps 202a and 202 b.

Step 202a, the electronic device responds to the first sub-input, and moves M icons of the at least one icon to M icon positions of the at least one icon position respectively to determine M unlocking icon positions and M unlocking icons.

In an embodiment of the application, the first sub-input is an input of dragging M icons to M icon positions, respectively.

In the embodiment of the application, a user can drag the M icons to the M icon positions respectively to trigger the electronic device to move the M icons in the at least one icon to the M icon positions in the at least one icon position respectively, so that the M unlocking icon positions and the M unlocking icons are determined.

It can be understood that the electronic device moves the M icons to M icon positions on the target interface, that is, the M icons are determined to be unlocking icons, and the M icon positions are unlocking icon positions.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device moves the M icons to M icon positions according to a dragging sequence of the user.

For example, referring to fig. 2 (B), as shown in fig. 3 (a), when the mobile phone displays an icon hiding setting interface (i.e., a target interface) corresponding to a currently displayed page of the desktop, a user may drag each of M icons (e.g., an icon of application 1, an icon of application 2, and an icon of application 3) to one of M icon positions (e.g., an empty icon position 11, an empty icon position 12, and an empty icon position 13), for example, drag the icon of application 1 to the empty icon position 11, drag the icon of application 2 to the empty icon position 12, and drag the icon of application 3 to the empty icon position 13 (which is only indicated by the icon of application 1 in fig. 3); as shown in fig. 3 (B), the mobile phone is triggered to move the M icons to M icon positions according to the sequence dragged by the user (for example, the icon of the application 1 is moved to the empty icon position 11, the icon of the application 2 is moved to the empty icon position 12, and the icon of the application 3 is moved to the empty icon position 13), so that the empty icon position 11, the empty icon position 12, and the empty icon position 13 are determined to be unlocking icon positions, and the icon of the application 1, the icon of the application 2, and the icon of the application 3 are unlocking icons.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first sub-input may be a selection input (for example, a click input) of the user on the M icons and the M icon positions to trigger the electronic device to move the M icons to the M icon positions, so as to determine the M unlocking icon positions and the M unlocking icons.

Step 202b, the electronic device responds to the second sub-input, and determines the target icon as an icon to be hidden.

In this embodiment of the application, the second sub-input is a selection input to a target icon, and the target icon is one or more icons of at least one icon, except for the M unlocking icons.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second sub-input may be any one of the following: and inputting any possible form of input such as clicking input, long-time pressing input, sliding input, repeated pressing input or double-click input of the target icon by the user to trigger the electronic equipment to determine the target icon as the icon to be hidden. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Exemplarily, in conjunction with (B) in fig. 3, as shown in (a) in fig. 4, the user clicks an icon (i.e., a target icon) of the application 4, as shown in (B) in fig. 4, and the mobile phone is triggered to determine the icon of the application 4 as the icon to be hidden.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the execution relationship between the step 202a and the step 202b may be: step 202a is executed first, and then step 202b is executed; alternatively, the step 202b may be executed first, and then the step 202a may be executed, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step 203, hiding the icon to be hidden by the electronic device under the condition that N unlocking icons in the M unlocking icons are not located in the unlocking icon position.

Wherein N is a positive integer less than or equal to M.

It can be understood that when the display positions of the N unlocking icons are changed from the unlocking icon bit to the non-unlocking icon bit, the icon to be hidden is hidden by the electronic device.

Alternatively, in this embodiment of the application, the step 203 may be specifically implemented by the following steps 203a and 203 b.

Step 203a, the electronic device receives a second input.

In an embodiment of the application, the second input is an input for moving N unlocking icons of the M unlocking icons to N non-unlocking icon positions, respectively, where the N non-unlocking icon positions are icon positions of at least one icon position except for the M unlocking icon positions.

It is understood that the user may move some or all of the M unlock icons (i.e., N unlock icons) out of the N unlock icon positions to other non-unlock icon positions to trigger the electronic device to hide the target icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second input is an input that a user drags N unlocking icons to N non-unlocking icon positions, so as to trigger the electronic device to move N unlocking icons in the M unlocking icons to the N non-unlocking icon positions, respectively, thereby hiding the target icon.

And step 203b, the electronic equipment responds to the second input and hides the icon to be hidden.

It should be noted that the hidden target icon of the electronic device may be understood as: the electronic device cancels the display of the target icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when M is greater than or equal to 1 and N is equal to 1, a user may move an unlock icon to a non-unlock icon position, and trigger the electronic device to hide the target icon, that is, encrypt and hide the target icon by moving a display position of the unlock icon, so that when the user wants to redisplay the target icon on the electronic device, the user may move the unlock icon from the non-unlock icon position back to the corresponding unlock icon position, so as to trigger the electronic device to resume displaying the target icon.

Illustratively, in conjunction with (B) in fig. 4, as shown in (a) in fig. 5, the user drags N unlock icons (e.g., the icon of app 1) to the non-unlock icon position 14, as shown in (B) in fig. 5, and triggers the cell phone to move the N unlock icons (e.g., the icon of app 1) to the non-unlock icon position 14 to hide the icon of app 4. Namely, the icon of the application 4 is encrypted and hidden by moving the display position of the unlocking icon (for example, the icon of the application 1), so that when a user wants to redisplay the icon of the application 4 on the mobile phone, the user needs to move the unlocking icon (for example, the icon of the application 1) back to the corresponding unlocking icon position 11 to trigger the mobile phone to restore the icon of the application 4.

It can be understood that when the icon to be hidden is hidden in the target interface, the icon to be hidden is hidden in the folder expansion interface or the desktop display page of the electronic device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when M is greater than 1 and N is greater than 1, a user first moves one of the unlocking icons to a non-unlocking icon position to trigger the electronic device to hide the target icon, and then the user can move the unlocking icons except the one unlocking icon among the unlocking icons to other non-unlocking icon positions on the basis of moving the display position of the one unlocking icon, that is, by moving the display positions of the unlocking icons, the target icon is encrypted and hidden, so that when the user wants the electronic device to redisplay the target icon, each unlocking icon among the unlocking icons can be respectively moved back to the corresponding unlocking icon position to trigger the electronic device to cancel the hidden target icon, and thus, the security of the electronic device hiding the target icon is higher.

The embodiment of the application provides an icon hiding method, wherein when an electronic device displays a target interface, a user can input the icon, so that the electronic device determines M unlocking icon positions, M unlocking icons and icons to be hidden in at least one icon and at least one icon position, the M unlocking icon positions correspond to the M unlocking icons one by one, and then the icons to be hidden are hidden under the condition that N unlocking icons in the M unlocking icons are not in the unlocking icon positions. In the scheme, when the electronic device displays the target interface comprising at least one icon and at least one icon position, a user can input to trigger the electronic device to determine that part of the icon positions are unlocking icon positions from the at least one icon position, determine that part of the icons are unlocking icons corresponding to the unlocking icon positions from the at least one icon, that is, one unlocking icon position corresponds to one unlocking icon, and determine one or more icons to be hidden, and then hide the icons to be hidden when one or more unlocking icons in the part of the unlocking icons are not located in the unlocking icon positions (that is, located in non-unlocking icon positions), so that the icons to be hidden can be displayed only when the user wants to display the icons to be hidden subsequently, the unlocking icon or unlocking icons must be located in the unlocking icon positions, and thus, the mode of hiding the electronic device is more secret, and the safety of an application program in the electronic device is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, after the step 203, the icon hiding method provided in this embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps 301 and 302.

Step 301, the electronic device receives a third input.

In an embodiment of the application, the third input is an input for moving the N unlocking icons to N unlocking icon positions, respectively, and the N unlocking icon positions are icon positions occupied by the N unlocking icons before the electronic device receives the second input.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the third input is input that a user drags N unlocking icons from N non-unlocking icon positions to N unlocking icon positions, so as to trigger the electronic device to display the target icon.

It can be understood that, after the target icon is hidden by the electronic device, if the user wants to cancel the hidden target icon (i.e., display the target icon), the N icons may be dragged from the N non-unlock icon positions to the N unlock icon positions, that is, the electronic device is triggered to move the N icons from the N non-unlock icon positions to the N unlock icon positions, so as to display the target icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the third input may be an input of a user on a target interface, or an input of the user directly on a desktop or a folder expansion interface, so as to trigger the electronic device to display the icon to be hidden.

Step 302, the electronic device displays the icon to be hidden in response to the third input.

It should be noted that, displaying the icon to be hidden (i.e. the target icon) by the electronic device may be understood as: the electronic device cancels the hiding of the target icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after the user moves the display positions of the N unlocking icons so that the target icon is encrypted and hidden by the electronic device, the user may move the N unlocking icons back to the unlocking icon position to trigger the electronic device to cancel hiding the target icon when N is equal to 1; and under the condition that N is greater than 1, the user can respectively move each unlocking icon in the N unlocking icons back to the corresponding unlocking icon position so as to trigger the electronic equipment to cancel the hidden target icon.

Illustratively, in conjunction with fig. 5 (B), after the cell phone hides the icon of the application 4 as shown in fig. 6 (a), the user can move N unlock icons (e.g., the icon of the application 1) back to the original display position on the desktop as shown in fig. 6 (B) to trigger the cell phone to display the icon of the application 4.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the user moves each of the N unlocking icons back to the corresponding unlocking icon position, if no other icon is displayed on the N unlocking icon positions, the electronic device displays N icons on the N unlocking icon positions; if other icons are displayed on the N unlocking icon positions, the electronic equipment displays the N icons on the N unlocking icon positions, and the other icons displayed on the N unlocking icon positions automatically move to the vacant icon positions in the target interface.

It should be noted that, for the description of canceling the hidden target icon, reference may be made to the description in step 203b, which is not described herein again.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the step 302 may be specifically implemented by the following step 302a or step 302 b.

Step 302a, under the condition that the target icon position is an empty icon position, the electronic device displays the icon to be hidden in the target icon position.

In an embodiment of the application, the target icon position is an icon position where an icon to be hidden is located before the icon to be hidden is hidden.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the user moves each of the N unlocking icons back to the corresponding unlocking icon position, if the icon position originally displayed by the target icon (i.e., the target icon position) is an empty icon position, the electronic device directly displays the target icon at the target icon position.

And step 302b, under the condition that the icon is displayed in the target icon position, the electronic equipment displays the icon to be hidden in the vacant icon position.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the user moves each of the N unlocking icons back to the corresponding unlocking icon position, if other icons are displayed on the icon position (i.e., the target icon position) originally displayed by the target icon, the electronic device displays the target icon at an empty icon position in the current interface, so that the flexibility of the electronic device in displaying the target icon is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, before the step 301, the icon hiding method provided in this embodiment of the present application further includes the following step 401 and step 402.

Step 401, under the condition that K unlocking icons in the N unlocking icons are in the hidden state, the electronic device receives a fourth input.

In an embodiment of the application, the fourth input is an input for canceling hiding K unlocking icons, where K is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

It can be understood that after the target icon is hidden by the electronic device, if the user wants to cancel the hidden target icon, the N unlocking icons need to be moved from the N non-unlocking icon positions to the N unlocking icon positions, at this time, if K unlocking icons in the N unlocking icons are in a hidden state, the electronic device needs to cancel the hidden K icons first, and then when the N unlocking icons are in a display state, the N unlocking icons are moved from the N non-unlocking icon positions to the N unlocking icon positions, so that the target icon is displayed by the electronic device.

It should be noted that, after hiding the target icon, the electronic device may continue to perform the above steps 201 to 203 and the related schemes thereof to hide K unlocking icons of the N unlocking icons, that is, to make the K unlocking icons in a hidden state.

Specifically, after the target icon is hidden by the electronic device, a user can input a icons in the at least one icon and a icon positions in the at least one icon position, where the a icons are icons in the at least one icon except the target icon, so that the electronic device moves the a icons to the a icon positions, and the a icons correspond to the a icon positions one to one, thereby determining that the a icon positions are unlocking icon positions and the a icons are unlocking icons; then, the user can input K unlocking icons in the N unlocking icons, so that the electronic equipment determines the K unlocking icons as icons to be hidden; finally, the user can move B unlocking icons in the A unlocking icons from B unlocking icon positions to B non-unlocking icon positions, K icons are triggered to be hidden by the electronic equipment, B is a positive integer smaller than or equal to A, and the B unlocking icons correspond to the B unlocking icon positions one by one.

And 402, the electronic equipment responds to the fourth input and displays K unlocking icons.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after the electronic device hides the K unlocking icons, if the user wants to cancel the hiding of the K unlocking icons, each unlocking icon in the B unlocking icons may be moved back to the corresponding unlocking icon position, so as to trigger the electronic device to display the K unlocking icons.

It can be understood that after the electronic device hides the K unlocking icons, if the user wants to display the target icon, the N unlocking icons may be moved from the N non-unlocking icon positions to the N unlocking icon positions to trigger the electronic device to display the target icon, however, at this time, the K unlocking icons in the N unlocking icons are in a hidden state, the user may first trigger the electronic device to move each unlocking icon in the B unlocking icons back to the corresponding unlocking icon position respectively to display the K unlocking icons, and then trigger the electronic device to move the N unlocking icons from the N non-unlocking icon positions to the N unlocking icon positions to display the target icon.

It should be noted that, for specific description of displaying K unlocking icons by the electronic device, reference may be made to the description of displaying the target icon by the electronic device in step 302, which is not described herein again.

It should be noted that, in the icon hiding method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the execution subject may be an electronic device or an icon hiding device. In the embodiment of the present application, an example in which an electronic device executes an icon hiding method is taken as an example to describe the icon hiding device provided in the embodiment of the present application.

Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a possible structure of the icon hiding device involved in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, the icon hiding means 70 may include: a receiving module 71, a determining module 72 and a hiding module 73.

The receiving module 71 is configured to receive a first input when a target interface is displayed, where the target interface includes at least one icon and at least one icon position. The determining module 72 is configured to determine, in response to the first input received by the receiving module 71, M unlocking icon positions, M unlocking icons, and icons to be hidden, where the M unlocking icon positions are icon positions in at least one icon position, the M unlocking icons are icons in the at least one icon, the icons to be hidden are one or more icons in the at least one icon except the M unlocking icons, the M unlocking icon positions are in one-to-one correspondence with the M unlocking icons, and M is a positive integer.
