Description

Application identifier display method, electronic device and readable storage medium

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a display method of an application identifier, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium.

Background

With the development of terminal technology, more and more application programs are installed in electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, different application programs can provide different functions for users, and the users trigger the application programs by clicking application identifiers of the application programs in the desktop of the electronic device, so that corresponding functions are realized. Therefore, in order to quickly and accurately find the application identifier of the application program to be used, the user typically manually adjusts the display position of the application identifier of the application program in the desktop according to the usage habit.

For deleted or disabled applications in an electronic device, the application identifiers of the applications have been deleted from the desktop, and after the applications are restored to use, although the corresponding application identifiers can be redisplayed in the desktop, the user may not be able to quickly find the application identifiers in the desktop, thereby reducing the efficiency of the user's search for the applications.

Disclosure of Invention

The application identifier display method, the electronic device and the readable storage medium can be used for improving efficiency of searching an application program by a user. The technical scheme is as follows:

In a first aspect, a method for displaying an application identifier is provided, and the method is applied to an electronic device, and includes:

receiving a recovery operation of a first application program, wherein the first application program is an application program which is forbidden or deleted in the electronic equipment;

and in response to the recovery operation, displaying a first application identifier of the first application program on a target position, wherein the target position is a display position of the first application identifier in a desktop of the electronic device before the first application program is disabled or deleted.

Therefore, after the first application identifier is redisplayed in the desktop, the display position of the first application identifier is unchanged relative to the display position of the first application identifier before the first application identifier is deleted or disabled, so that a user can quickly view the first application in the desktop, and the efficiency of viewing the first application by the user is improved.

As one example of the present application, the displaying, in response to the resume operation, the first application identifier of the first application program on the target location includes:

responding to the recovery operation, acquiring historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier, wherein the historical coordinate information is used for indicating the target position;

Determining the current occupation condition of the target position according to the historical coordinate information, wherein the occupation condition comprises occupied or unoccupied;

displaying the first application identifier at the target position under the condition that the target position is not occupied by a second application identifier of a second application program, wherein the second application program is any application program except the first application program in the electronic equipment;

and under the condition that the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, updating and displaying the second application identifier so as to display the first application identifier at the target position.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can selectively select different modes to display the first application identifier at the target position by acquiring the historical coordinate information and determining whether the target position is occupied, so that the reliability of displaying the first application identifier is improved.

As an example of the present application, in a case that the target location is occupied by the second application identifier, updating and displaying the second application identifier to display the first application identifier at the target location includes:

When the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, the second application identifier is updated and displayed at a first idle position, wherein the first idle position is any unoccupied position in the desktop;

and displaying the first application identifier at the target position.

Therefore, the second application identifier is updated and displayed at the first idle position, so that the target position can be in an unoccupied state, and the first application identifier can be ensured to be displayed at the target position.

moving the second application identifier and all application identifiers between the target position and a reference position one bit backwards under the condition that the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, wherein the reference position is any one position which is positioned behind the target position and is unoccupied;

and displaying the first application identifier at the target position.

Therefore, the second application identifier and all application identifiers between the target position and the reference position are moved backwards by one position, and the first application identifier is displayed at the target position, so that the display positions of the first application identifier and the second application identifier are adjacent, the situation that the user cannot find the second application identifier is avoided, and the efficiency of the user for checking the first application identifier and the second application identifier is improved.

displaying first prompt information under the condition that the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, wherein the first prompt information is used for prompting a user to select the display position of the first application identifier;

receiving a position selection operation of the first application identifier, wherein the position selected by the position selection operation is the target position;

and in response to the position selection operation, displaying the first application identifier at the target position.

Therefore, the display position of the first application identifier is selected by the user, so that the man-machine interaction is improved.

creating an application folder at the target location if the target location is occupied by the second application identifier;

And displaying the second application identifier and the first application identifier in the application folder.

Therefore, the application folder is created at the target position, and the first application identifier and the second application identifier can be displayed at the target position at the same time, so that the user is prevented from searching the display positions of the first application identifier and the second application identifier, and the efficiency of searching the application program by the user is improved.

As an example of the present application, the method further comprises:

receiving a target operation of the first application program, wherein the target operation comprises a disabling operation or a deleting operation;

responding to the target operation, executing an instruction corresponding to the target operation on the first application program, and storing historical coordinate information of the first application identifier in the desktop;

and deleting the first application identifier displayed in the desktop.

Therefore, under the condition that the first application program is deleted or forbidden, the first application identifier is not deleted directly, but the historical coordinate information of the first application identifier in the desktop is acquired and stored first, so that a foundation is laid for displaying the first application identifier at the target position subsequently, and the accuracy of displaying the first application identifier at the target position subsequently is improved.

As an example of the application, after the responding to the target operation and executing the instruction corresponding to the target operation on the first application program and storing the historical coordinate information of the first application identifier in the desktop, the method further includes:

and deleting the historical coordinate information when the duration of storing the historical coordinate information is greater than or equal to a first time threshold and a recovery operation for the first application program is not received in the period of storing the historical coordinate information.

Therefore, under the condition that the time length for storing the historical coordinate information is too long and the user does not restore the use of the first application program all the time, the storage space of the electronic equipment is saved by deleting the historical coordinate information of the first application mark.

In a second aspect, an electronic device is provided, where the electronic device includes a processor and a memory, where the memory is configured to store a program for supporting the electronic device to execute the method for displaying an application identifier provided in the first aspect, and store data related to implementing the method for displaying an application identifier in the first aspect.

In the description of the present application, "/" means or, unless otherwise indicated, for example, a/B may represent a or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association relationship describing an association object, and means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, for the purpose of facilitating the clear description of the technical solutions of the present application, the words "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish between the same item or similar items having substantially the same function and effect. It will be appreciated by those of skill in the art that the words "first," "second," and the like do not limit the amount and order of execution, and that the words "first," "second," and the like do not necessarily differ.

Reference in the specification to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" or the like means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the application. Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and the like in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments" unless expressly specified otherwise. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless expressly specified otherwise.

Currently, a user may have a need to disable or delete a part of the application program during the use of the electronic device, for example, the user needs to disable or delete the smart life application program in the electronic device, in which case, referring to the (a) diagram in fig. 1, the electronic device needs to perform two steps, namely, step a and step B. Wherein, step A: the electronic device disables or deletes the smart life application. And (B) step (B): the electronic equipment deletes the application identifier corresponding to the intelligent living application program in the desktop. When the user resumes the use of the smart life application, see (b) in fig. 1, the electronic device needs to perform three steps, i.e., step C-step E. Wherein, step C: the electronic device receives a recovery operation for the smart life application. Step D: the electronic device responds to the recovery operation to search for unoccupied display positions from the leftmost screen of the desktop. Step E: the electronic device displays the application identification of the smart life application at the first unoccupied display location that is found.

For example, the above-described scene of deleting an application identifier and displaying the application identifier may refer to the application scene shown in fig. 2. In an application scenario, referring to fig. 2, in the case where the electronic device is a mobile phone, a user may disable a smart life application program during the process of using the mobile phone, for example, referring to fig. 2 (a), the smart life application program is displayed in a home page (home page or referred to as home screen) of a desktop of the mobile phone; after the subscriber identity module (Subscriber Identity Module, SIM) card in the handset is pulled out, referring to fig. 2 (b), the handset can disable the smart life application and delete the application identification of the smart life application from the home page. After detecting that the SIM card is reinserted into the card slot, referring to the diagram (c) in FIG. 2, the mobile phone can restart the smart life application program and search for an unoccupied display position from the leftmost screen in a plurality of pages (also called a plurality of screens) of the desktop; the application identification of the smart life application is displayed at the first unoccupied display location found by the handset, such as in the screen shown in figure 2 (c).

It should be noted that, the disabling operation and the enabling operation of the application program may be triggered by the mobile phone according to the SIM card state, or may be manually triggered by the user, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the homepage in the desktop refers to a screen displayed after the mobile phone is started and unlocked. The application identifier is used for uniquely identifying the corresponding application program, and the application identifier may include at least one of an application icon, an application name and an application version number.

In yet another application scenario, since different electronic devices may have different application identifier display rules, after the application identifier is deleted, some electronic devices may directly vacate the location of the application identifier, as in the scenario shown in the (b) diagram of fig. 2. After the application identifiers are deleted, the display positions which are vacated after the deletion of the application identifiers are sequentially and repeatedly occupied by the application identifiers of other subsequent application programs. Illustratively, referring to fig. 3 (a), the smart life application is displayed in the home page of the desktop of the mobile phone; after the SIM card in the mobile phone is pulled out, referring to the (b) diagram in fig. 3, the mobile phone may disable the smart life application program and delete the application identifier of the smart life application program from the homepage, where the application identifier of the smart life application program is deleted and the vacated location is occupied by the application identifier of the weather application program, and after the application identifier of the weather application program moves forward, the application identifier of the subsequent browser, the application identifier of the clock application program, the application identifier of the sports health application program, the application identifier of the recorder application program, the application identifier of the application mall application program and the application identifier of the set application program all move forward by one bit. After detecting that the SIM card is reinserted into the card slot, referring to fig. 3 (c), the mobile phone may restart the smart life application program, and search for an unoccupied display position from a leftmost page of the plurality of pages of the desktop, and display an application identifier of the smart life application program at a first unoccupied display position searched by the mobile phone, for example, in a screen shown in fig. 3 (c).

In yet another application scenario, in the case where the electronic device is a mobile phone, the user may press an icon of a certain application program for a long time during the process of using the mobile phone, and delete some application programs, for example, the user may delete a smart life application program whose application identifier is displayed in a desktop homepage, and the user may press an application identifier of the smart life application program for a long time in the homepage; responding to the long-press operation of the application identifier of the intelligent life application program, displaying an editing interface near the application identifier of the intelligent life application program by the mobile phone, and clicking a deletion option in the editing interface by a user; the mobile phone responds to the click operation of the deletion option to delete the intelligent life application program and delete the icon of the intelligent life application program from the homepage of the mobile phone. After the user downloads the smart life application again, if there is an unoccupied display position in the leftmost screen of the mobile phone desktop, the application identifier of the smart life application is not displayed in the homepage but is displayed in the leftmost screen of the mobile phone desktop.

Whether deleted or disabled application programs, even if the corresponding application identifications can be redisplayed in the desktop after the application programs are re-enabled, the positions of the redisplayed application identifications may change relative to the display positions before the application programs are deleted or disabled, so that a user cannot quickly find the application identifications of the application programs, difficulty is brought to the user in using the application programs, and efficiency of the user in viewing the application programs is reduced.

In order to improve efficiency of a user in checking an application program, the embodiment of the application program provides a display method of an application identifier, in the method, under the condition that a recovery operation of a first application program which is forbidden or deleted in an electronic device is received, the electronic device can display the first application identifier of the first application program on a target position in response to the recovery operation, wherein the target position is a display position of the first application identifier in a desktop before the first application program is forbidden or deleted. Because the display position of the first application identifier is unchanged relative to the display position of the first application identifier before the first application program is deleted or disabled after the first application identifier is redisplayed in the desktop, a user can quickly view the first application identifier in the desktop, and the efficiency of viewing the first application program by the user is improved.

For easy understanding, before describing the display method of the application identifier provided in the embodiment of the present application in detail, an application scenario related to the embodiment of the present application is described next by taking an electronic device as an example of a mobile phone.

In yet another possible scenario, after the smart life application is displayed at the display position occupied by any one position in the desktop, the mobile phone may further display a third prompt message, where "the application identifier of the smart life application is displayed at other positions on the home screen due to the occupied display position" may be displayed.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, only the application scenario described in fig. 3 to 11 is taken as an example and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the above description.

The software system of the electronic device 100 will be described next.

The software system of the electronic device 100 may employ a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. In this embodiment, taking an Android (Android) system with a hierarchical architecture as an example, a software system of the electronic device 100 is illustrated.

Fig. 12 is a block diagram of a software system of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 12, the hierarchical architecture divides the software into several layers, each with a clear role and division of work. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Zhuoyun row (Android run time) and system layer, and a kernel layer, respectively.

The application layer may include a series of application packages. As shown in fig. 12, the application package may include applications for cameras, gallery, calendar, phone calls, maps, navigation, WLAN, bluetooth, music, video, short messages, etc.

As one example, the application layer may also include a desktop launcher (desktop) and a desktop database. The desktop starter is used for executing instructions such as deleting, displaying and moving the application identifier of any one application program, and acquiring and/or storing historical coordinate information of the application identifier of any one application program in the desktop. The desktop database is used for storing the historical coordinate information acquired by the desktop starter, and the desktop database can be SP (Shared Preferences) database.

The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and programming framework for application programs of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions. As shown in fig. 11, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like. The window manager is used for managing window programs. The window manager can acquire the size of the display screen, judge whether a status bar exists, lock the screen, intercept the screen and the like. The content provider is used to store and retrieve data, which may include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phonebooks, etc., and make such data accessible to the application. The view system includes visual controls, such as controls to display text, controls to display pictures, and the like. The view system may be used to construct a display interface for an application, which may be comprised of one or more views, such as a view that includes displaying a text notification icon, a view that includes displaying text, and a view that includes displaying a picture. The telephony manager is used to provide communication functions of the electronic device 100, such as management of call status (including on, off, etc.). The resource manager provides various resources for the application program, such as localization strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and the like. The notification manager allows the application to display notification information in a status bar, can be used to communicate notification type messages, can automatically disappear after a short dwell, and does not require user interaction. For example, a notification manager is used to inform that the download is complete, a message alert, etc. The notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the system top status bar in the form of a chart or a scroll bar text, such as a notification of a background running application. The notification manager may also be a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window, such as a text message being prompted in a status bar, a notification sound being emitted, the electronic device vibrating, a flashing indicator light, etc.

As an example, the application framework layer further includes an application monitoring module, where the application monitoring module is configured to monitor a state where the application is located, for example, whether the application is deleted, disabled, enabled, downloaded, and so on. When the application monitoring module monitors that the state of the application program changes, a broadcast corresponding to the state of the application program can be sent to the desktop starter, and the broadcast can be used for indicating an application identifier of the application program corresponding to the desktop starter to perform an operation corresponding to the current state.

Android run time includes a core library and virtual machines. Android run time is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system. The core library consists of two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android. The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used for executing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules, such as: surface manager (surface manager), media Libraries (Media Libraries), three-dimensional graphics processing Libraries (e.g., openGL ES), 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL), etc. The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides a fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. Media libraries support a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, still image files, and the like. The media library may support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc. The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like. The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The inner core layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver and a sensor driver.

The workflow of the electronic device 100 software and hardware is illustrated below in connection with capturing a photo scene.

When touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is issued to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into the original input event (including information such as touch coordinates, time stamp of touch operation, etc.). The original input event is stored at the kernel layer. The application framework layer acquires an original input event from the kernel layer, and identifies a control corresponding to the original input event. Taking the touch operation as a click operation, the control corresponding to the click operation is a control of a camera application icon as an example, the camera application calls an interface of an application program framework layer, starts the camera application, calls a kernel layer to start a camera driver, and captures a still image or video through a camera 193.

Based on the execution body and the application scenario provided in the foregoing embodiments, a method for displaying the application identifier provided in the embodiments of the present application is described next. Referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying application identifiers according to an exemplary embodiment. By way of example, and not limitation, the method is applied to an electronic device with a first application program installed therein, and the electronic device performs deletion or disabling of the first application level as an example, and the method may include some or all of the following:

Step 1301: a target operation is received for a first application.

It should be noted that the target operation includes a disable operation or a delete operation.

Because the user may encounter a situation that the application program needs to be disabled or deleted during the process of using the electronic device, in this case, the user may perform the target operation on the first application program, so that the electronic device may receive the target operation of the first application program. Alternatively, the user may perform other operations on the electronic device, resulting in indirectly triggering a target operation on the first application program, for example, the usage state of a part of the application programs in the electronic device is related to the state of the SIM card, where the application programs can be normally used when the SIM card is inserted into the card slot of the electronic device, and where the application programs may be disabled when the SIM card is pulled out of the card of the electronic device. Thus, the electronic device may also receive a target operation for the first application in case that the SIM is detected to be unplugged. For example, the application scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 4 described above.

Step 1302: and responding to the target operation, executing an instruction corresponding to the target operation on the first application program, and storing historical coordinate information of the first application identification in the desktop.

As one example, since the target operation includes a disable operation or a delete operation, the electronic device may delete the first application program in response to the delete operation and store the historical coordinate information of the first application identified in the desktop in the case where the target operation is the delete operation. In the event that the target operation is a disable operation, the electronic device may disable the first application in response to the disable operation and store historical coordinate information of the first application identified in the desktop.

It should be noted that, the disabling of the first application by the electronic device may be disabling all the controls of the first application, or may be disabling a part of the controls of the first application, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In addition, the historical coordinate information of the first application identifier in the desktop includes coordinates of a screen to which the first application identifier belongs in the desktop and coordinates of the first application identifier in the screen to which the first application identifier belongs.

As one example, the electronic device may store historical coordinate information for the first application identified in the desktop in a desktop database. For example, where the desktop database is an SP database, the historical coordinate information for the first application identified in the desktop may be stored in the SP database.

As can be seen from the above description, the electronic device includes the application monitoring module and the desktop launcher, so after the electronic device disables (deletes) the first application program, the application monitoring module can monitor that the state of the first application program changes, and the first application program is in the disabled state (if the first application program is deleted, here, the deleted state). In this case, the application monitoring module may send a first broadcast to the desktop starter, where the first broadcast may carry a first application identifier and an application state identifier of the first application program, where the application state identifier is used to indicate a current state of the corresponding application program; under the condition that the desktop starter receives the first broadcast, a first application identifier and a corresponding application state identifier can be obtained from the first broadcast; in the case where the application state identifier indicates that the first application is in a disabled state (if the first application is deleted, here, a deleted state), the desktop launcher may obtain historical coordinate information of the first application identifier in the desktop, and store the historical coordinate information in the desktop database. Or after the desktop starter acquires the application state identifier, the desktop starter can acquire the historical coordinate information of the first application identifier in the desktop and store the historical coordinate information in the desktop database under the condition that the application state identifier indicates that the state of the first application program is not in an enabling state or in a downloading state.

Illustratively, the operation of the desktop initiator to determine the state of the first application program according to the application state identifier may be represented by the following code: if (cachedactive > 0), which means whether the first application state is in an enabled state or in a downloaded state, the cachedactive being an application state identification. If the matchedactive messages >0 is true, the state of the first application program is in an enabling state or a downloading state; if the matchedactive messages >0 is not true, the first application state is not in the enabled state or the downloaded state. When the state of the first application program is not in the enabling state or the downloading state, the desktop starter can acquire the historical coordinate information of the first application mark in the desktop, and store the historical coordinate information in the desktop database.

It should be noted that the application state identifier may be at least one of a number, a letter, a symbol, a pattern, and the like. Typically, the application state identification is typically a single number or a combination of numbers.

As an example, the first broadcast may be a package_changed broadcast, but may be other broadcasts, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

As one example, the desktop launcher may obtain historical coordinate information of the first application identification in the desktop from a DB (Database) Database, and then store the first application identification in the SP Database through a coordinate storage function. The coordinate storage function may be saveicon topharedreference (), which is not particularly limited by the embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the subsequent accurate acquisition of the historical coordinate information of the first application identifier, the electronic device may store the first application identifier and the corresponding historical coordinate information in correspondence.

Because the electronic device may store the first application identifier and the corresponding historical coordinate information in the SP database correspondingly, the format of the first application identifier and the corresponding historical coordinate information in the SP database may be: string name= "last position" value= "package name1, container, x, y; package name2, container, x, y".

It should be noted that, in the above format, the package name is an application package name (may also be referred to as an application identifier) of an application program, the container is a screen to which the application identifier belongs in the desktop, for example, -100 represents a desktop homepage, x is an x-axis coordinate where the application identifier is located, y is a y-axis coordinate where the application identifier is located, and the different applications are separated by "". For example, the SP database stores history coordinate information corresponding to application identifiers of two application programs, where "package name1, container, x, y" is a third application identifier of a third application program and history coordinate information corresponding to the third application identifier, and "package name2, container, x, y" is a first application identifier and corresponding history coordinate information, and the third application program is an application program that has been deleted or disabled before disabling or deleting the first application program.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the format of the first application identifier and the corresponding historical coordinate information in the SP database is merely described as an example, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may delete the historical coordinate information if the duration of storing the historical coordinate information is greater than or equal to the first time threshold and a resume operation for the first application is not received during the period of storing the historical coordinate information.

It should be noted that the first time threshold may be preset according to requirements, for example, the first time threshold may be 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days.

It is worth to say that, when the duration of storing the historical coordinate information is too long and the user does not resume the use of the first application program all the time, the storage space of the electronic device is saved by deleting the historical coordinate information of the first application identifier.

Step 1303: and deleting the first application identifier displayed in the desktop.

As one example, the electronic device may delete the first application identification displayed in the desktop via the desktop launcher.

Illustratively, the desktop initiator may delete the first application identifier displayed in the desktop via a data deletion function. The data deletion function may be removePackageData (), which is not particularly limited by the embodiment of the present application.

In the embodiment of the application, under the condition that the first application program is deleted or disabled, the electronic device does not delete the first application identifier directly, but acquires and stores the historical coordinate information of the first application identifier in the desktop, so that a foundation is laid for displaying the first application identifier at the target position subsequently, and the accuracy of displaying the first application identifier at the target position subsequently is improved.

After the first application is disabled, the user may need to re-enable the first application, or after the first application is deleted, the user may need to re-download the first application, whether re-enabling the first application or re-downloading the first application, for the restoration of the first application, in which case, referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a flow chart illustrating a method for displaying an application identifier according to an exemplary embodiment. By way of example, and not limitation, the method is applied to the electronic device, and the electronic device resumes the use of the first application degree is described herein, and the method may include some or all of the following:

step 1401: a resume operation is received for the first application.

It should be noted that the first application is a disabled or deleted application in the electronic device. That is, the first application is the application that is disabled or deleted in the above embodiment. The resume operation may be an enabling operation for the first application if the first application is a disabled application, and may be a re-downloading operation for the first application if the first application is a deleted application.

As an example, the recovery operation for the first application program may be an operation triggered by the user directly for the first application program, or may be an operation triggered indirectly during other operation. For example, in a case where the first application is disabled or deleted due to the SIM card being pulled out of the card slot, the electronic device may receive a recovery operation of the first application in a case where the SIM card is inserted into the card slot. For example, the scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 4 described above.

Step 1402: responding to the recovery operation, judging whether historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier is acquired or not; if yes, the operation of step 1403 described below is performed, and if not, the step of step 1406 described below is performed.

It should be noted that the historical coordinate information is used to indicate a target location, where the first application is identified in a desktop of the electronic device before the first application is disabled or deleted.

In this case, the electronic device may not obtain the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier, or the electronic device may fail in the process of obtaining the historical coordinate information of the first application identifier, which may also result in failure to obtain the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier. Thus, in response to the recovery operation, the electronic device may determine whether the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier is acquired.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the electronic device stores the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier in the desktop database, so the electronic device may obtain the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier from the desktop database in response to the recovery operation, if the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier is obtained from the desktop database, the operation in step 1403 is performed, and if the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier cannot be obtained from the desktop database, the operation in step 1406 is performed.

Because the electronic device may include an application monitoring module and a desktop starter, the application monitoring module may determine that the current state of the first application changes when receiving the recovery operation on the first application, and in this case, the application monitoring module may send a second broadcast to the desktop starter, where the second broadcast may carry the first application identifier and the application state identifier. Under the condition that the desktop starter receives the second broadcast, the desktop starter can acquire the first application identifier and the application state identifier from the second broadcast, and under the condition that the application state identifier indicates that the current state of the first application program is the enabling state (if the recovery operation is aimed), the desktop starter can acquire the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier from the desktop database according to the first application identifier.

As an example, the second broadcast may be a package_changed broadcast, and of course, may be other broadcasts, and the second broadcast may be the same as the first broadcast or different from the first broadcast, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that, according to the first application identifier, the desktop initiator may acquire, from the desktop database, the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier through an acquiring function, where the acquiring function may be addOrUpdatePackageData (), which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In order to facilitate understanding of the operation performed by the desktop actor after receiving the broadcast sent by the application monitoring module, in the embodiments of the present application, the operation performed by the desktop initiator after receiving the broadcast sent by the application monitoring module may be described by the following code, which is merely an example illustrating the embodiments of the present application, and is not limited to the embodiments of the present application.

if (matchedActivities>0) {

addOrUpdatePackageData();

} else {

saveIconToSharedPreference();

removePackageData();

}

It should be noted that, in the above code, "if (matchdactive devices > 0)" is used to determine whether the first application program is in an enabled state or whether the first application program is in a downloaded state, if the matchdactive devices >0 is true, that is, the first application program is in the enabled state or the downloaded state, the desktop launcher may execute the acquisition function, that is, execute the function addOrupdatePackageData (). If matchedactive >0 is not true, i.e., the first application is not in an enabled state or a downloaded state, the desktop launcher may execute the coordinate storage function and the data deletion function sequentially, i.e., the function "saveicon topharedreference ()" and the function "removepackageddata ()", sequentially.

In some embodiments, in a case where the electronic device acquires the historical coordinate information corresponding to the first application identifier, the electronic device may display the first application identifier of the first application program on the target location, which may refer to the operations of step 1403 and step 1404 described below.

Step 1403: judging whether the target position is occupied or not according to the historical coordinate information; if yes, the following operation of step 1405 is performed; if not, the following operation of step 1404 is performed.

Because the electronic device may readjust the location of each application identifier in the desktop after deleting the first application identifier from the target location, the target location may be occupied by the second application identifier during the adjustment process. Alternatively, the user may download the second application program, and the electronic device may display the second application identifier of the second application program in the desktop at the target location, so that the target location is occupied by the second application identifier. Or after deleting the first application identifier from the target position, the plurality of application identifiers arranged behind the first application identifier complementarily occupy the vacated display position, so that the target position is occupied by the second application identifier. Therefore, after the electronic device acquires the historical coordinate information, the electronic device needs to determine the occupation condition of the target position according to the historical coordinate information, wherein the occupation condition comprises occupied or unoccupied. That is, the electronic device needs to determine whether the target location is occupied by the second application identifier of the second application.

It should be noted that the second application is any one of the other applications except the first application in the electronic device.

It is worth to say that, by acquiring the historical coordinate information and determining whether the target position is occupied, the electronic device can selectively select different modes to display the first application identifier at the target position, so that the reliability of displaying the first application identifier is improved.

Step 1404: and displaying the first application identifier at the target position in the case that the target position is not occupied by the second application identifier of the second application program.

Because the target location is not occupied by the second application identification, the electronic device can directly display the first application identification at the target location. For example, the scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 4 described above.

Step 1405: and under the condition that the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, updating and displaying the second application identifier so as to display the first application identifier at the target position.

Because the electronic device cannot directly display the first application identifier at the target position under the condition that the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, in order to still display the first application identifier at the target position, the electronic device can update and display the second application identifier.

It should be noted that, in the case that the target location is occupied by the second application identifier, the electronic device updates and displays the second application identifier, so that the operation of displaying the first application identifier at the target location includes various manners, and the following four possible implementation manners are now described as examples.

In a first possible manner, in the case that the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, the second application identifier update is displayed in a first idle position, wherein the first idle position is any unoccupied position in the desktop; the first application identification is displayed at the target location. For example, the scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 6 described above.

Since there may be multiple screens in the desktop, each with a possible unoccupied location, the electronic device may display the second application identification in the first idle location in the desktop with the target location occupied by the second application identification.

Because the second application identifier occupies the target position, the target position is in an unoccupied state after the second application identifier is updated and displayed in other unoccupied positions, so that the electronic device can display the first application identifier in the target position.

It should be noted that, by displaying the second application identifier update at the first idle position, the target position can be in an unoccupied state, and it is ensured that the first application identifier can be displayed at the target position.

As an example, in order to enable the user to quickly find the second application identifier after the second application identifier is updated and displayed, in the case that the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, the electronic device may further determine whether an unoccupied position exists in the screen where the target position is located, and in the case that the unoccupied position exists in the screen where the target position is located, display the second application identifier at any unoccupied position in the screen where the target position is located, where the position is the first idle position. And under the condition that the unoccupied position does not exist in the screen where the target position is located, searching for the unoccupied position from the screen at the leftmost position of the desktop, and displaying a second application identifier on the searched first unoccupied position, wherein the position is the first idle position.

It is worth to say that, by displaying the second application identifier preferentially in the screen where the target position is located, the efficiency of searching the first application identifier and the second application identifier by the user is improved.

In a second possible way, in case the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, the second application identifier and all application identifiers between the target position and a reference position, which is any one position located after the target position and not occupied, are moved backwards by one bit; the first application identification is displayed at the target location.

Since the target position and the reference position may or may not be on the same vertical line in the desktop, the electronic device moves the second application identifier and all application identifiers between the target position and the reference position one bit backward differently according to the difference in the positional relationship between the target position and the reference position.

As one example, the electronic device may move the second application identification and all application identifications in a vertical direction between the target location and the reference location vertically downward by one bit in a case where the reference location and the target location are on the same vertical line. For example, the scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 8 described above. Or, in the case that the reference position and the target position are on the same vertical line, the electronic device may move the second application identifier, the application identifier that is located after the target position and on the same horizontal line as the target position, the application identifier that is located before the reference position and on the same horizontal line as the reference position, and all application identifiers between the horizontal line where the target position is located and the horizontal line where the reference position is located one position backward. For example, the scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 7 described above.

As an example, in the case where the reference position is not on the same vertical line as the target position, the electronic device may also move the second application identifier, the application identifier that is on the same horizontal line as the target position after the target position, the application identifier that is on the same horizontal line as the reference position before the reference position, and all application identifiers between the horizontal line where the target position is and the horizontal line where the reference position is located one bit backward.

It is worth noting that by moving the second application identifier and all application identifiers between the target position and the reference position one position backward and displaying the first application identifier at the target position, the display positions of the first application identifier and the second application identifier are adjacent, the situation that the user cannot find the second application identifier is avoided, and the efficiency of the user to check the first application identifier and the second application identifier is improved.

In a third possible manner, creating an application folder at the target location if the target location is occupied by the second application identifier; the second application identification and the first application identification are displayed in an application folder. For example, the scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 5 described above.

It is worth to say that, by creating the application folder at the target position, the first application identifier and the second application identifier can be displayed at the target position at the same time, so that the user is prevented from finding the display positions of the first application identifier and the second application identifier, and the efficiency of searching the application program by the user is improved.

In a fourth possible manner, displaying first prompt information when the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, where the first prompt information is used to prompt the user to select the display position of the first application identifier; receiving a position selection operation of a first application identifier, wherein the position selected by the position selection operation is a target position; in response to the location selection operation, the first application identification is displayed at the target location. For example, the scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 9 described above.

It should be noted that, the user selects the display position of the first application identifier, so that man-machine interaction is improved.

In some embodiments, when the user selects the display position of the first application identifier, the target position may be selected, or other positions may be selected, where if the other positions selected by the user are unoccupied, the electronic device may directly display the first application identifier at the position selected by the position selection operation of the user; if the position selected by the position selection operation of the user is occupied by other application identifiers, the electronic device may display the first application identifier on the position selected by the position selection operation according to the first possible implementation manner, the second possible implementation manner or the third possible implementation manner, which is not described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, when the duration of displaying the first prompt information reaches the second duration threshold and the electronic device does not receive the position selection operation of the user within the duration of displaying the first prompt information, the electronic device cancels the display of the first prompt information and displays the first application identifier at a second idle position, where the second idle position is any unoccupied display position in the desktop. For example, the scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 10 described above.

It should be noted that, the second duration threshold may be preset according to requirements, for example, the second duration threshold may be 5 seconds or 7 seconds.

As one example, the electronic device may look for idle positions in sequence starting from the leftmost screen of the desktop and determine the first idle position found as the second idle position. Or the electronic equipment can also determine whether other unoccupied display positions exist in the screen where the target position exists, and if so, determining any unoccupied display position in the screen where the target position exists as a second idle position; if the second idle position does not exist in the screen where the target position is located, the electronic device can search idle positions in sequence from the screen at the leftmost position of the desktop, and determine the found first idle position as the second idle position.

In some embodiments, when the duration of the electronic device displaying the first prompt information reaches the second duration threshold and the electronic device does not receive the position selection operation of the user within the duration of displaying the first prompt information, the electronic device may select the second idle position as the display position of the first application identifier, or may select the target position as the display position of the first application identifier.

In some embodiments, in a case where the electronic device selects the target location as the display location of the first application identifier, the electronic device may display the first application identifier at the target location according to the first possible implementation, the second possible implementation, or the third possible implementation described above. This embodiment of the present application will not be described in detail.

As an example, when the duration of the electronic device displaying the first prompt information reaches the second duration threshold and the electronic device does not receive the position selection operation of the user within the duration of displaying the first prompt information, the electronic device may obtain the duration of the second application identifier occupying the target position, and determine the display position of the first application identifier according to the duration of the second application identifier occupying the target position.

For example, in a case where the occupied duration of the second application identifier occupying the target location is greater than the third duration threshold, the electronic device may display the first application identifier in the second idle location; and the electronic equipment displays the first application identifier at the target position under the condition that the occupied duration of the second application identifier occupying the target position is less than or equal to a third duration threshold value.

It should be noted that, the third duration threshold may be preset according to the requirement, for example, the third duration threshold may be 3 days or 5 days.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device displays the first application identifier in the second idle position, a second prompt message may also be displayed, where the second prompt message is used to prompt that the position selection is overtime, and the display position of the first application identifier has been randomly selected.

Step 1406: and acquiring a third idle position in the desktop.

The third idle position is any unoccupied display position in the desktop.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may search for idle positions in sequence starting from the leftmost screen of the desktop and determine the first idle position found as the third idle position.

Step 1407: the first application identification is displayed at a third idle position.

In the embodiment of the application, after the first application identifier is redisplayed in the desktop, the display position is unchanged relative to the display position of the first application identifier before the first application identifier is deleted or disabled, so that a user can quickly view the first application in the desktop, and the efficiency of viewing the first application by the user is improved.

It should be noted that, when the target location is occupied by the second application identifier, the electronic device may display the first application identifier at the target location in the above manner, and the electronic device may display the first application identifier at other locations in other manners. Referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a flowchart of a method for displaying an application identifier according to another exemplary embodiment. By way of example, and not limitation, the method is applied to the electronic device, and the electronic device resumes the use of the first application degree is described herein, and the method may include some or all of the following:

the operations of steps 1501 to 1502 may refer to the operations of steps 1401 to 1402, which are not described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

Step 1503: and judging whether the target position is occupied according to the historical coordinate information, if so, executing the operation of the following step 1505, and if not, executing the operation of the following step 1504.

The operation of step 1504 may refer to the operation of step 1404, which is not described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

Step 1505: and acquiring a third idle position in the desktop.

Step 1506: the first application identification is displayed at a third idle position.

For example, the scenario may refer to the application scenario shown in fig. 11 described above.

It should be noted that, the operations of step 1505 and step 1506 may refer to the operations of step 1406 and step 1407, which are not described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

As an example, in order to enable the user to quickly find the first application identifier, when the electronic device displays the first application identifier in the third idle position, third prompting information may also be displayed, where the third prompting information is used to prompt that the first application identifier is not displayed in the target position.

In the embodiment of the application, under the condition that the target position is occupied by the second application identifier, the first application identifier is displayed at other idle positions, so that the arrangement of the existing application identifiers is prevented from being changed, and the efficiency of checking other application identifiers by a user is improved.
