For example, in the step 202b1, the terminal device adjusts the size and the number of the application icons in the target application folder in the touch-enabled state according to the operation parameter of the zoom operation without changing the size of the target application folder.

The operation parameter of the zoom operation may include at least one of an operation direction, an operation area, an operation trajectory, and an operation ending position of the zoom operation, and may further include other parameters, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

Alternatively, whether the scaling operation is a reduction operation or an enlargement operation may be determined in accordance with an operation parameter of the scaling operation. The determination of whether the zoom operation is a zoom-out operation or a zoom-in operation according to the operation parameters of the zoom operation is exemplarily explained below with an example in which the zoom operation is a two-finger zoom operation.

Optionally, the operation parameter of the two-finger zoom operation includes an operation direction of the two-finger zoom operation, and whether the two-finger zoom-out operation or the two-finger zoom-in operation is determined according to different operation directions of the two-finger zoom operation. The operation direction may be a sliding direction of the two fingers, for example, the two fingers slide in opposite directions, the two fingers slide rightward at the same time, the two fingers slide leftward at the same time, the two fingers slide downward at the same time, the two fingers slide upward at the same time, and the like.

For example, if the operation direction of the two-finger zoom operation is that the two fingers slide towards each other (get closer together), the operation direction may be a two-finger zoom-out operation; if the operation direction of the two-finger zoom operation is that the two fingers slide back to back (get farther away), the operation direction can be a two-finger zoom operation.

Optionally, the operation parameter of the two-finger zoom operation includes an operation area of the two-finger zoom operation, and whether the two-finger zoom-out operation or the two-finger zoom-in operation is determined according to different operation areas of the two-finger zoom operation. The operation area may be a left half area, a right half area, an upper half area, a lower half area, a middle area, and the like of the target application folder, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Exemplarily, if the operation area of the two-finger zoom operation is the left half area of the target application folder, the operation area may be a two-finger zoom-out operation; if the operation area of the two-finger zoom operation is the right half area of the target application folder, the operation area may be a two-finger zoom operation.

Optionally, the operation parameter of the two-finger zoom operation includes an operation trajectory of the two-finger zoom operation, and whether the two-finger zoom-out operation or the two-finger zoom-in operation is determined according to different operation trajectories of the two-finger zoom operation. The operation track may be a straight line or a curved line, or may be the length of the operation track, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Exemplarily, if the operation track of the two-finger zoom operation is a straight line, the operation track may be a two-finger zoom-out operation; if the operation track of the two-finger zoom operation is a curve, the operation track can be a two-finger zoom operation.

Optionally, the operation parameter of the two-finger zoom operation includes an operation end position of the two-finger zoom, and whether the two-finger zoom-out operation or the two-finger zoom-in operation is determined according to a different operation end position of the two-finger zoom operation. The operation end position of the two-finger zoom operation may be located in the left half area, the right half area, the upper half area, the lower half area, the middle area, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Exemplarily, if the operation ending position of the two-finger zoom operation is located in the upper side area of the target application folder, the two-finger zoom operation may be performed; if the ending position of the two-finger zooming operation is located in the lower half area of the target application folder, the two-finger zooming operation can be performed.

Optionally, the operation parameters of the two-finger zoom operation include at least two of an operation direction, an operation area, an operation trajectory, and an operation ending position of the two-finger zoom operation, which may specifically refer to the above description, and are not described herein again.

It can be understood that, if the second preset input includes a two-finger zoom-in operation of the target application folder by the user, the terminal device increases the size of the application icons in the target application folder in the touch state, and correspondingly decreases the number of the application icons in the target application folder in the touch state. If the first input comprises a double-finger zoom-out operation of the target application folder by the user, the terminal device reduces the size of the application icons in the target application folder in the touch state and correspondingly increases the number of the application icons in the target application folder in the touch state.
