Fig. 12 is a flowchart of an applet management method according to an embodiment of the application, as shown in fig. 12, the method includes steps S1201-S1202.

Step S1201, receiving a twelfth input to the first application icon, and displaying an icon sensing area in the first application icon in response to the twelfth input.

The twelfth input may be a touch gesture, such as a long press gesture, or a voice command, etc., which is not limited herein. Taking the long-press gesture as an example, the electronic device displays an icon sensing area in the first application icon under the condition that the electronic device detects that the user presses the first application icon for a long time. As shown in fig. 13, if the first application icon is a large icon, 4 icon sensing areas, such as app7, are displayed. As shown in fig. 14, if the first application icon is a middle icon, 2 icon sensing areas, such as app6, are displayed. A click response event may be set for each sensing region. The click response event comprises one or more of an applet association response event, a shortcut association response event and a shortcut operation association response event; the applet association response event is used to indicate that the selected applet is associated with the first application; the shortcut association response event is used for indicating that the selected shortcut is associated with the first application; the shortcut operation association response event is used to associate the selected shortcut with the first application.

Step S1202, receiving editing information of the click response event of the icon sensing area, and binding the icon sensing area with the edited click response event, so as to respond according to the edited click response event when the icon sensing area is detected to be clicked. For example, a user may click an icon sensing area in a first application icon, and the electronic device displays an icon sensing area setting panel in response to an operation of clicking the icon sensing area in the first application icon, the icon sensing area setting panel being configured to display a candidate click response event; and responding to the selection operation of the candidate click response event on the icon sensing area setting panel, and binding the selected candidate click response event with the clicked icon sensing area.

In alternative embodiments, the edited icon sensing area and the unedited icon sensing area may be displayed in different display styles. For example, the configured sensing area displays a corresponding function (name or Icon). The unconfigured area displays a plus sign. The click response events that have been configured appear gray, and the click response events that have not been configured have no background color. Clicking on any unconfigured click response event changes the event option to a predetermined color. Then, the icon sensing area setting panel automatically disappears. As a specific example, as shown in fig. 15, the icon sensing area in the application is configured as applet 1, punch card, sweep, pay code, if the user clicks the punch card in the application app7, the punch card function is started, and the punch card action is completed; if applet 1 is clicked, applet 1 may be launched.

According to the applet management method provided by the embodiment of the application, different icon sensing areas are arranged in the application icon, different click response events are bound in the different icon sensing areas, and the click response events can comprise applet starting events, so that the applet can be quickly started in a mode of binding the applet starting events in the application icon sensing areas.
