Description

Folder management method and device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a folder management method and apparatus.

Background

With the increasing abundance of Applications (APPs), the number of APPs installed on a mobile phone by a user increases. In order to avoid frequently switching the mobile phone desktop to find an APP to be used, a user usually creates a folder on the mobile phone desktop, and combines a plurality of APPs into the folder, so as to facilitate finding.

However, in the folder creation process, if the categories to which the APP selected by the user to be merged belongs are not completely the same, the mobile phone cannot accurately name the folder, for example, directly name the folder, so that the user needs to manually modify the name of the folder, and the naming efficiency is low.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a folder management method and device, and solves the problem that in the prior art, folder naming efficiency is low to a certain extent.

In order to achieve the purpose, the following technical scheme is adopted in the application:

in a first aspect, a folder management method is provided, which is applied to an electronic device, and includes:

in response to the merging operation of M APPs, creating a folder, and merging the categories to which the M APPs belong to obtain the name of the folder, wherein M is an integer greater than or equal to 2; the folder and the name of the folder are displayed on a desktop of the electronic device.

Based on the folder management method provided by the application, in the process of creating the folder, the names of the folder are obtained by combining the categories to which the multiple APPs belong, so that the names of the folder can fully represent the categories to which the combined multiple APPs belong respectively. Thereby improving the naming efficiency and accuracy of the folder.

Optionally, M APPs belong to a different category, and the categories to which the M APPs belong are merged to obtain the name of the folder, which specifically includes:

and determining the name of the folder according to the categories to which the M APPs respectively belong, wherein the name of the folder is used for indicating the categories to which the M APPs respectively belong.

Optionally, merging the categories to which the M APPs belong to obtain names of folders, specifically including:

obtaining a category list of the M APPs, wherein the category list comprises N different categories, any one of the M APPs belongs to at least one category in the category list, and M is more than or equal to N and is more than or equal to 2; and if the N is less than or equal to the preset number of the categories, generating the name of the folder according to the category list, wherein the name of the folder is used for representing each category in the category list.

Based on the optional mode, by presetting the number of the categories, when the categories are combined under the condition that the number of the categories included in the category list of the M APPs is less than or equal to the preset number of the categories, the condition that the names determined by the electronic equipment for the folders are too long and the attractiveness of the desktop is influenced is avoided.

Optionally, the method further includes:

displaying a recommendation window, wherein the recommendation window displays recommended APPs, and the recommended APPs are the APPs with the same category as any one of the M APPs; in response to a user operation, it is determined whether to merge the recommended APP into the folder.

Based on the optional mode, the electronic equipment can recommend the same type of APP to the user in the process of creating the folder, so that the same type of APP can be sorted, the user is prevented from omitting the same type of APP when creating the folder, and the management efficiency of the folder is further improved.

Optionally, displaying the folder on a desktop of the electronic device specifically includes:

displaying the folders in a small folder format; after displaying the folders on the desktop of the electronic device, the method further comprises: when it is determined to merge at least one recommended APP into the folder, the folder is displayed in a large file format.

The large folder format is a folder display format supporting one-key opening of the APP. That is, when the folder is displayed in a large folder format, the user clicks an icon of an APP located in the folder, and the APP can be directly started. And when adopting little folder format, the user need click the folder to expand and show the folder, then click the icon of corresponding APP, just can start this APP. In one example, the display area occupied by the small folder on the desktop is the same as the display area occupied by one APP when displayed on the desktop, and the display area occupied by the large folder is the same as the display area occupied by four APPs when displayed on the desktop. Illustratively, the specific definition of the large folder format may refer to the large folder format referred to in hong meng systems.

Based on the optional mode, after the folder is created, the folder can be displayed in a small folder format due to the fact that the number of APPs in the folder is small (for example, M = 2), and waste of display resources is avoided. Once the recommended APPs are determined to be added into the folder, the number of the APPs contained in the folder is increased, the folder can be displayed in a large file format, the APPs in the folder can be started by one key, and therefore the operation efficiency of a user on the folder is improved to a certain extent.

Optionally, the method further includes:

Detailed Description

When the APP is on the shelf, the publisher can select the corresponding category for the APP according to the classification label provided by the application market. For example, hua provides three levels of classification in the application marketplace, where the first level of classification includes games and applications. The second class corresponding to the first class game includes categories such as leisure intelligence development, management strategy, sports competition, chess and card table game, action shooting, role playing and the like. The second class corresponding to the first class classification application comprises categories such as audio-visual entertainment, practical tools, social communication, education, news reading, shooting beautification, food, travel navigation, travel accommodation, shopping price comparison, commerce, children, financial management, sports health, convenient life, automobiles, theme personality and the like. Each secondary classification is also provided with a corresponding tertiary classification. For example, the three-level classification corresponding to leisure intelligence development includes categories of leisure, IO, intelligence development, elimination, music rhythm, puzzle solving, and the like. The three-level classification corresponding to the video and audio entertainment comprises categories of television, video, music, K songs, live broadcasts, radio stations and the like.

When more and more APP installed on the electronic device, in order to avoid frequently switching desktops to find the APP to be used, the user generally merges multiple APPs of the same category to create a folder, so as to facilitate the finding. When the categories to which the merged APPs belong are completely the same, the electronic device may name the folder according to the category to which the APP belongs. For example, if the APP combined is a game, the electronic device may name the folder as "game".

However, as the various APPs overlap more and more in function, the user may not be able to accurately distinguish the category to which the APP belongs according to the daily use habit. For example, the category to which a certain APP1 is allocated in the application market is shooting beautification, which mainly provides a short video shooting function and a video/photo beautification function for users. But some users watch short videos released by other users by using the APP1 or search movie and television works on the APP1 for watching without using the shooting function and video/photo beautification function of the APP 1. Therefore, the part of users may consider the category to which APP1 belongs to be audiovisual entertainment. When creating the folder, the part of users may merge APP1 with APPs of other audio and video entertainment types. At this time, since the APP1 is different from other audio-visual entertainment APPs in category, the electronic device cannot accurately name the folder. For example, naming directly as "folder" makes it impossible for a user to quickly determine which applications may be merged in the folder. Alternatively, the electronic device displays the input box directly and the name is input by the user.

And some users can use the APP1 as a main social platform to communicate with other users in a mode of issuing short videos, comments, private letters and the like. This part of the users may consider APP1 to be of the social communication class. When creating the folder, the part of users may merge APP1 with APPs of other social communication classes. Similarly, since the APP1 and other social communication APPs belong to different categories, the electronic device cannot name the folder accurately.

Therefore, aiming at the problem that the electronic equipment cannot accurately name the folder due to the fact that the types of the combined APPs are not identical in the folder creating process at present, the application provides a folder management method. Thereby improving the naming efficiency and accuracy of the folder.

The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure, color temperature and the like of a shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be provided in camera 193.

The camera 193 is used to capture still images or video. The object generates an optical image through the lens and projects the optical image to the photosensitive element. The focal length of the lens can be used for representing the view range of the camera, and the smaller the focal length of the lens is, the larger the view range of the lens is. The photosensitive element may be a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The light sensing element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then passed to the ISP where it is converted into a digital image signal. And the ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into image signal in standard RGB, YUV and other formats.

The operating system in the electronic device may be an Android (Android) system, a microsoft Windows system (Windows), an apple mobile operating system (iOS), or a Harmony system (Harmony OS), among others. Here, an operating system of an electronic device will be described as an example of a grand Monte Carlo system.

In some embodiments, a hongmeng system may be divided into four layers, including a kernel layer, a system services layer, a framework layer, and an application layer, with communication between the layers through a software interface.

As shown in FIG. 2, the Kernel Layer includes a Kernel Abstraction Layer (KAL) and a driver subsystem.

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of an embodiment of a folder management method provided by the present application mainly relates to a folder creation and naming process. As shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

s301, responding to the merging operation of the M APPs, creating a folder, and merging the categories to which the M APPs belong to obtain the name of the folder.

Wherein M is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

S302, displaying the folder and the name of the folder on the desktop of the electronic equipment.

In the embodiment of the present application, the merging operation may be selecting an icon of at least one APP, and dragging the icon of the at least one APP to a position where an icon of another APP is located. When the electronic device detects a merge operation, it may be determined that a folder needs to be created and named for the folder, so as to merge the at least one APP and another APP into the folder.

Merging the categories to which the M APPs belong means extracting information from the categories to which the M APPs belong, and combining the extracted information with the name of the file so that the name of the folder can indicate the category to which the M APPs belong.

Then, when M APPs belong to a category, the names of folders determined according to the categories to which the M APPs belong can be used to indicate the categories to which the M APPs belong.

Taking the desktop shown in fig. 4 as an example, the folder creation and naming process provided in the present application is exemplarily described below by combining two folder creation manners and multiple possible naming scenarios. As shown in fig. 4, the APPs displayed on the desktop include a clock, a calendar, a gallery, a memo, a file management, an e-mail, music, a calculator, a Huawei video, sports health, weather, a browser, a smart life, settings, a recorder, an application mall, a camera, an address book, a telephone, and information.

In the first mode, an icon of one APP is selected in a long-time pressing mode, and the icon of the APP is dragged to the position of the icon of the other APP.

In approach one, folders are typically created in a way that merges two APPs (i.e., M = 2). The first mode can be realized on a desktop. For example, a memo and an email are frequently used due to work needs of a user, and thus the user considers both the email and the memo to be an APP for work, thereby selecting to combine the email and the memo into one folder. Based on fig. 4, as shown in fig. 5, when creating a folder, a user long-presses an icon of one of APPs (e.g., emails) on a desktop of the electronic device to select the email. And then dragging the icon of the email to the position of the icon of the memo and releasing the icon of the email. The electronic equipment creates a folder by responding to the merging operation, names the folder by merging the categories to which the e-mail and the memo respectively belong, and displays the folder and the name of the folder on the desktop.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may combine the two categories of the business and the utility as "business and tool" and use "business and tool" as the name of the created folder. It can be seen that although the category to which the email belongs and the category to which the memo belongs are different, the electronic device can still accurately name the created folder, so that the name of the folder can accurately represent the categories to which the email and the memo belong, thereby avoiding manual naming and improving the accuracy and efficiency of folder naming.

Optionally, the scheme described in the first mode may also be implemented on a page on a desktop editor. For example, based on fig. 4, as shown in fig. 6, the electronic apparatus switches to a desktop editing page according to a user operation (such as an operation of sliding two fingers from both sides of the screen to the middle of the screen). Based on the desktop editing page shown in fig. 6, as shown in fig. 7, the user long-presses an icon of an email therein on the desktop area displayed on the desktop editing page to select the email. And then dragging the icon of the email to the position of the icon of the memo and releasing the icon of the email. The electronic device creates a folder by responding to the merging operation, names the folder by merging the categories to which the e-mail and the memo belong, and displays the names of the folder and the folder in a desktop area displayed on a desktop editing page. Then, the user can click on a blank area (i.e. a position not displayed by the APP) of the desktop area, and the electronic device switches from the desktop editing page to the desktop according to the user operation. The desktop displays the folders created in the desktop editing page and the folder names "business and tools".

And secondly, selecting the icons of the M-1 APPs in a clicking mode, and dragging the icons of the M-1 APPs to the position of the icon of another APP.

In the second way, folders can be created by merging two or more APPs (i.e., M ≧ 2). The second mode can be realized on a desktop editing page.

For example, assume that the user chooses to merge email, hua-yi-video, memo into one folder. Based on FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 8, the user may click on the email and Huaqi video icons to select the email and Huaqi video. Upon selection, the top left corner of the email and Hua video icons shows the selected icon (i.e., √ in FIG. 8) indicating a user has selected. Then, after the user touches any selected APP icon (for example, an email icon), the APP icon is dragged to the position of the memo icon. The selected APP icon follows the dragging track of the user, and after the icon of the memo is located, the user releases the selected APP icon. The electronic equipment creates a folder by responding to the merging operation, and names the folder by merging the electronic mail, the Huawei video and the category to which the memorandum belongs.

In this example, since the electronic device detects that the category to which the email belongs is business, the category to which the memo belongs is utility, and the category to which the video belongs is media entertainment, the electronic device may merge the three categories of business, utility, and media entertainment into "business and tools and media" and use "business and tools and media" as the created folder name. It can be seen that although the categories of the e-mail, the Huawei video and the memo are different, the electronic equipment can still accurately name the created folder, so that the names of the folders can accurately represent the categories of the e-mail, the Huawei video and the memo, manual naming is not needed, and the accuracy and the efficiency of naming the folders are improved.

After the user releases the icon of the selected APP, the electronic device displays the folder and the name 'business and tools and media' of the folder in a desktop area displayed on a desktop editing page. Then, the user clicks the blank area (i.e. the position not displayed by the APP) of the desktop area, and the electronic device switches from the desktop editing page to the desktop according to the user operation. The desktop displays the folders created in the desktop editing page and the folder names "business and tools and media".

In this embodiment of the application, when the electronic device merges categories to which M applications belong, a category list of the M APPs may be obtained first. Wherein the list of categories satisfies the condition: the method comprises N different categories, any APP in M APPs can belong to at least one category in the category list, and M is larger than or equal to N and larger than or equal to 2. The electronic device may generate a name for the folder from the category list. The following is an exemplary description of the manner in which folders are named in connection with several possible scenarios.

In a first scenario, M APPs selected by a user all belong to a single category.

In this scenario, if the categories to which each APP belongs are different, the category list of the M applications includes M different categories to which the APP belongs. The electronic device may merge the M different categories into a folder name. For example, in the above example, when a folder is created by combining an email and a memo, since the category to which the email belongs is business, the category to which the memo belongs is utility, and the categories to which 2 APPs belong are different, that is, the category list of the 2 APPs includes business and utility. Thus, the electronic device may incorporate commerce and utilities as "commerce and utilities" as a folder name.

If the M APPs belong to the same category, the M APPs belong to the same category. For example, when 4 APPs including e-mail, memo, hua as video and music are combined, since the category to which the e-mail belongs is business, the category to which the memo belongs is a utility, and the categories to which the hua as video and music belong are both media entertainment. Then, the category list of these 4 APPs includes business, utilities, and media entertainment. Thus, the electronic device can merge the 3 categories of commerce, utilities, and media entertainment into "commerce and tools and media" as a folder name.

In a second scenario, among M APPs selected by the user, there are APPs having multiple categories.

Take APP2, APP3, APP4, APP5 as examples, where APP2 has class a, APP3 has class (a, b), APP4 has class c, and APP3 has class (d, c).

When a folder is created by merging APP2, APP3, APP4, APP 5. In one example, the electronic device may determine the category list of APP2, APP3, APP4, APP5 according to the first priority category. For example, the first priority class of APP2 is a, the first priority class of APP3 is a, the first priority class of APP4 is c, and the first priority class of APP5 is d. Since the first-level categories of APP2 and APP3 are both a, it is determined that the category lists of APP2, APP3, APP4, APP5 include a, c, d. The electronic device may be named "a and c and d" for folders created by merging APP2, APP3, APP4, APP 5.

Optionally, the electronic device may also prioritize the duplicate categories. For example, APP2 and APP3 have a repetitive category a, and APP4 and APP5 have a repetitive category c. Then, the electronic device may determine that the category list of APP2, APP3, APP4, APP5 includes a and c. The electronic device may be named "a and c" for folders created by merging APP2, APP3, APP4, APP 5.

In one example, the electronic device may also set a merge priority. For example, the more categories are repeated, the higher the merging priority. For example, APP6 has a category (a, d), and when creating a folder by merging APP6, APP2, APP3, APP4, and APP5, since the number of repetitions of category a is 3, the number of repetitions of category d is 2, and the number of repetitions of category c is 2, the merging priority of category a is the highest, and the merging priorities of category d and category c are the same. However, since the combination of the category a and the category c may cover the category to which each APP belongs, the electronic device determines that the category list of APP2, APP3, APP4, APP5, and APP6 includes a and c. The electronic device may be named "a and c" for folders created by merging APP2, APP3, APP4, APP5, and APP 6.

It can be understood that, when M APPs have the same belonging category, the electronic device determines that the same belonging category is a category list of the M APPs, and names a folder by using the same belonging category.

It is worth noting that for M APPs, the electronic device may obtain a plurality of category lists that satisfy the condition. At this time, the electronic device may select a category list with the smallest N (i.e., the smallest number of categories included) as the category list of the M APPs.

In one example, considering that the display space of the desktop is limited, in order to avoid the folder name being too long, a category number may be preset. If the number of categories included in the category list of the M APPs is less than or equal to the preset number of categories (i.e., N is less than or equal to the preset number of categories), a name of a folder is generated according to the category list, and the generated name of the folder can be used to represent each category in the category list. Otherwise, the folder is named with a preset name, such as folder 1, folder 2, etc. Or directly display the edit bar, named by the user.

For example, assume that the preset number of categories is 2. When creating a folder by merging APP6, APP2, APP3, APP4 and APP5, since the category lists of APP6, APP2, APP3, APP4 and APP5 include a and c, since the number of categories included in the category lists is less than 2, the electronic device may name the folder as "a and c" by merging category a and category c. When the folder is created by combining the e-mail, music and Hua as videos, the category list of the e-mail, music and Hua as videos contains 3 categories, and the number of the categories exceeds the preset number. The electronic device can name the folder by using the names of the preset folder 1, the preset folder 2 and the like. Or directly displaying an edit bar, and naming by a user.

In one example, after creating a folder by M APPs, the electronic device may search for a recommended APP according to a category to which the M APPs belong. The recommended APP is an APP of the same type as any of the M APPs. In one example, the recommended APP specifically refers to an APP of any category in a category list with M APPs.

The electronic device may find the recommended APP among APPs displayed on the desktop (i.e., APPs whose icons are not merged into any folder). The recommended APP may also be found among all APPs installed on the electronic device. And searching hot APPs of the same type in the application store according to the category lists of the M APPs to serve as recommended APPs. The present application is not limited thereto.

If at least one recommended APP is displayed on the desktop of the electronic equipment, after the folder is created, the electronic equipment can also display a recommended window, and the at least one recommended APP is displayed in the recommended window so that a user can select whether to combine the recommended APPs into the folder or not, and similar application arrangement is achieved.

For example, based on the folder "business and tools" shown in fig. 5, as shown in fig. 9, it is a practical tool that the electronic device detects that the category to which the recorder, calculator, calendar, clock, browser, weather, and setting belong is the same as the memo. Thus, the electronic device determines that the recorder, calculator, calendar, clock, browser, weather, and settings are all recommended APPs, and displays a recommended window.

The user can select the recommended APP needing to be combined into the folder in the recommendation window. For example, the user clicks a recorder, and after selecting the recorder, clicks the determination control. The electronic device incorporates the recorder into a folder "business and tools" based on user operation. Of course, the user may also directly click the cancel control, and the similar application sorting operation is not performed.

In one example, when the electronic device creates a folder by merging M APPs, there may be fewer APPs in the folder (e.g., when folder creation is performed in the first manner, 2 APPs are included in the created folder). Thus, the electronic device may first display the folders in the small folder format.

Thereafter, the electronic device displays a recommendation window to the user. If it is determined that at least one recommended APP is merged into the folder according to the user operation, the electronic device may display the folder in a large file format.

The large folder format is a folder display format supporting one-key opening of the APP. That is, when the folder is displayed in a large folder format, the user clicks an icon of an APP located in the folder, and the APP can be directly started. And when adopting little folder format, the user need click the folder to expand and show the folder, then click the icon of the APP that corresponds, just can start this APP. In one example, the display area occupied by the small folder on the desktop is the same as the display area occupied by one APP when displayed on the desktop, and the display area occupied by the large folder is the same as the display area occupied by four APPs when displayed on the desktop. For example, the specific definition of the large folder format may refer to the large folder format referred to in hong meng system.

Therefore, when there are few APPs (e.g., 2 APPs) contained in the folder, the electronic device may display the folder in the small file format first, so as to avoid wasting display resources. Once the recommended APPs are determined to be added into the folder, the number of the APPs contained in the folder is increased, the electronic equipment can display the folder in a large file format, the APPs in the folder can be started by one key, and therefore the operation efficiency of a user on the folder is improved to a certain extent.

In one example, after the folder creation is complete, the user may change the contents of the folder during use. For example, when a user adds a first APP to a folder, the electronic device merges the first APP into the folder. If the category to which the first APP belongs is different from the original category list of APPs in the folder, the electronic device may add information indicating the category to which the first APP belongs to the name of the folder. Namely, the name of the folder is updated so that the name of the folder can also be used to indicate the category to which the first APP belongs.

For example, based on fig. 5, as shown in fig. 10, the first APP is music, the user drags an icon of the music to a location of the folder "business and tools" as shown in fig. 5, and the electronic device merges the music into the folder "business and tools". Since music belongs to the category of media entertainment, it is different from the category list of e-mail and memo. At this time, the electronic device modifies the name of the folder, and adds information indicating media entertainment, such as "media", to "business and tools". I.e., the name of the folder is modified to "business and tools and media".

Of course, for the folder name, if the number of categories is preset, when the number of categories included in the category list of the first APP and the existing APP in the folder is greater than the preset number of categories, the electronic device may not change the folder name.

Optionally, when the user removes the second APP from the folder, if the category to which the second APP belongs is different from the categories to which the remaining APPs in the folder belong, deleting the information indicating the category to which the second APP belongs in the folder name.

For example, based on the folder "business and tools & media" shown in fig. 8, assume that the second APP is a video. As shown in fig. 11, after the folder is expanded and displayed, the user presses the hua from the folder to be the video, and pulls out the hua from the folder after selecting the hua as the video, or unloads the hua. At this time, no Huacheng video is included in the folder. Since the category to which the hua is a video is media entertainment, it is different from the categories to which the remaining e-mails and memos in the folder belong. Therefore, the electronic device may delete the information "media" indicating media entertainment in the name "business and tools and media" of the folder to obtain a new name "business and tools".

It can be understood that when the folders after being created are subjected to APP increasing and decreasing operations, the names of the folders can be adaptively modified by the electronic equipment according to the categories to which the increased and decreased APPs belong, manual modification is not needed, and the naming efficiency and accuracy of the folders are further improved.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, and is used to connect different categories of information, and this way is merely an example. Other words or symbols, such as "and", "&", "-", "/", etc., may also be used to connect and incorporate information representing different categories. Of course, information representing various categories can be directly spliced, for example, the above-mentioned "business and tool and media" can also be represented as "business tool media". The present application is not limited thereto.

In an example, based on the above-mentioned large file format, the present application further provides another folder display method, and after creating a folder, the electronic device may directly display the created folder in the large folder format.

Optionally, the present application further provides another folder display method, which may adaptively switch display formats according to the number of APPs contained in the folder. For example, if the number of APPs included in the folder is greater than or equal to the first number, the folder is displayed in a large folder format; and if the number of the APPs contained in the folder is less than the first number, displaying the folder in a small folder format.

Illustratively, the first number may be set based on the display area occupied by the large folder on the desktop. For example, the display area occupied by the small folder is the same as the display area occupied by one APP when displayed on the desktop, and the display area occupied by the large folder is the same as the display area occupied by four APPs when displayed on the desktop. Therefore, when two APPs are included in the folder, if the folder is displayed in a large folder format, the display areas of the two APPs are wasted.

To address this issue, the first number may be set to a value greater than or equal to 3.

For example, the first number is 3, and as shown in fig. 5, when the electronic device creates a folder "business and tools", since the folder includes two APPs, the electronic device can directly display in a small file format. Based on fig. 8, as shown in fig. 12, when the electronic device creates the folder "business and tools and media", since the folder includes three APPs, the electronic device can directly display in a large file format.

In addition, after the folder is created, the electronic device may also adjust the folder format according to the user's change to the contents in the folder. For example, if the folder is displayed in a large folder format, after a user removes a part of APPs from the folder, the number of APPs in the folder is smaller than a preset number, and the electronic device may switch the display format of the folder to a small folder format. Correspondingly, if the folder is displayed in a small folder format, when the user adds the APP to the folder, the number of the APPs in the folder is larger than or equal to the preset number. The electronic device may then switch the display format of the folder to a large folder format.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the application, the display format of the folder is flexibly adjusted according to the number of the APPs in the folder, so that the operation efficiency of the folder by a user can be improved to a certain extent.

It should be understood that, the sequence numbers of the steps in the foregoing embodiments do not imply an execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by functions and internal logic of the process, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
