For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that reference herein to "a plurality" means two or more. 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.

On the one hand, with the rapid development of terminal technology, electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers are widely used. To meet different business requirements, various types of applications are supported for installation in electronic devices. With the increase of application programs, the electronic device provides an application folder function, and a user can conduct classification management on a plurality of application icons on a desktop through the application folder function. For example, a user may create an application folder on a desktop of an electronic device and then add multiple application icons to the application folder, thereby making the desktop more neat.

Taking the example that the electronic device is a mobile phone, in one example, please refer to fig. 1 (a), when the user wants to set up an application folder, one application icon may be dragged onto another application icon. In response to the drag operation, the handset establishes an application folder and displays a folder icon of the application folder on the desktop, as illustrated in fig. 1 (b) at 10, for example. For this type of application folder, when a user needs to click on a certain application icon in the application folder to trigger the mobile phone to start a corresponding application program, the user needs to click on the folder icon 10 of the application folder to open the application folder, and then the user can click on the application icon in the application folder to trigger the mobile phone to open the corresponding application program. This type of application folder is commonly referred to as a small folder. In order to facilitate the user to directly click on the application icon in the application folder, the type of the small folder may also be modified. For example, the user may press the small folder for a long time, and in response to the user pressing the small folder for a long time, the mobile phone displays a folder setting window in the vicinity of the folder icon 10 of the small folder, as shown in fig. 1 (c), including a "display as large folder" option in the folder setting window. Referring to fig. 1 (d), the user may click on the "show large folder" option, and in response to the user's trigger operation of the "show large folder" option, the mobile phone sets the small folder as another type of application folder, whose folder icon is shown as 11 in fig. 1 (e). It should be noted that, for this type of application folder, when the user needs to click on a certain application icon in the application folder, the user may directly click on the application icon in the folder icon 11 of the application folder, and in response to the triggering operation of the user on the application icon, the mobile phone opens the corresponding application program. That is, for this type of application folder, the user may directly click on the application icon on the folder icon 11 to cause the mobile phone to open the application interface of the corresponding application program, for example, refer to (e) in fig. 1, when the user wants to open the application program a, the user may directly click on the application icon of the application program a, and accordingly, in response to the clicking operation, the mobile phone opens the application program a and displays the application interface of the application program a. In some embodiments, this type of application folder may be referred to as a large folder. Then, the user can drag the application icons of other application programs in the desktop to the large folder, and correspondingly, the mobile phone adds the application icons dragged by the user in the folder icon 11 of the large folder.

On the other hand, in some scenes, in order to increase the richness of mobile phone display and also to facilitate users to use various application programs, some application programs in the mobile phone provide card functions, and the mobile phone supports application cards with application programs added in a desktop, so that the users can conveniently and quickly look up application information of the application programs. For example, referring to fig. 2 (a), for a gallery application in a mobile phone, when a user wants to add an application card of the gallery application on a desktop, the user can press an application icon of the gallery application for a long time. As shown in fig. 2 (b), in response to a long press operation of an application icon of the gallery application by the user, the mobile phone displays an application setting window including a "service card" option 20. As shown in fig. 2 (c), the user may click on the "service card" option 20. Referring to fig. 2 (d), in response to the clicking operation of the "service card" option 20 by the user, the mobile phone displays a card adding interface in the desktop, wherein the card adding interface includes an "add to desktop" option, and as shown in fig. 2 (e), when the user needs to add an application card of the gallery application program to the desktop, the "add to desktop" option can be clicked. Referring to fig. 2 (f), in response to the user's operation of the "add to desktop" option, the mobile phone will add an application card 21 (which may be referred to as a gallery application card) of the gallery application program to the desktop, and it will be apparent that the gallery application card displays application information of the gallery application program.

In the embodiment of the application, a method for displaying application cards is provided, and aiming at a group of application icons in a large folder, the method can enable a user to quickly view application cards corresponding to one or some application icons in the group of application icons, so that the need for the user to establish the application cards one by one according to the flow is avoided. For easy understanding, before describing the method provided in the embodiments of the present application in detail, application scenarios related to the embodiments of the present application are described next.

In an exemplary application scenario, please refer to fig. 3 (a), it is assumed that 9 application icons of the applications are displayed in the folder icon M1 of the large folder, and the 9 application icons are respectively a weather application, a news application, a gallery application, a clock application, a setting application, a music application, a calculator application, a recorder application, and a mirror application, and other application icons in the large folder are stacked under the application icon of the mirror application. In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 3 (b), when the user wants to view the application card of the application program corresponding to the application icon in the folder icon M1, the user can slide rightward on the folder icon M1. As shown in fig. 3 (c), in response to a user's right-sliding operation on the folder icon M1, the mobile phone displays an application card 30 of a weather application program (abbreviated as a weather application card) in the folder icon M1, and marks an application name corresponding to the currently displayed air application card under the folder icon M1, such as a text marked with "large folder. Weather", so that the user can intuitively know which application program the currently displayed application card is. Further, as shown in 31 of fig. 3 (c), the right side of the folder icon M1 displays the page number of the weather application card and the page number of the application card corresponding to the other application icon in the folder icon M1, and the page number of the application card of the weather application program is displayed in the selected state. In one example, application cards of the application program corresponding to 5 application icons among the 9 application icons can be displayed in the folder icon M1, and thus, 5 page numbers are displayed on the right side of the folder icon M1, which means that four application cards, such as application cards of a news application program, application cards of a gallery application program, application cards of a clock application program, and application cards of a music application program are stacked under the weather application card. With continued reference to fig. 3 (d), when the user wants to view the next page of application card, the user can slide up on the weather application card. As shown in fig. 3 (e), in response to an operation of the user sliding up on the weather application card, the mobile phone displays an application card 32 (news application card for short) of the next application program (i.e., news application program) in the folder icon M1, and at this time, a second one of the plurality of page symbols on the right side of the folder icon M1 is displayed in a selected state. And so on, if the user wants to continue to view the next application card, he can continue to slide up on the news application card so that the mobile phone displays the next application card. Of course, if the user wants to view the last application card of the news application card (i.e., the weather application card), the user may slide down on the news application card, and in response to the user sliding down on the news application card, the mobile phone displays the last application card, i.e., the weather application card, and at this time, the first one of the plurality of page characters on the right side of the folder icon M1 is displayed as the selected state.

In one possible application scenario, in the case where any one application card is displayed in the folder icon M1, if the user wants to ignore the currently displayed application card, the user may delete the application card from the folder icon through a left-sliding operation. For example, referring to fig. 4 (a), a news application card is displayed in the folder icon M1, and when the user wants to remove the news application card from the folder icon M1, the user can slide left on the news application card. Referring to fig. 4 (b), in response to a user's left-hand sliding operation on the news application card, the mobile phone removes the news application card from the folder icon M1, and at this time, the mobile phone displays the next application card, i.e., the clock application card, in the folder icon M1. And deleting the page number symbol of the news application card by the mobile phone, wherein the display state of the page number symbol of the clock application card is the selected state.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 5 (a), a news application card is displayed in the folder icon M1, and when the user wants to remove the news application card from the folder icon M1, the user can slide left on the news application card. Referring to fig. 5 (b), in response to a user's left-hand sliding operation on the news application card, the mobile phone displays a trash can in the folder icon M1, and a confirmation control, such as a confirmation control of "OK" and a cancel control of "No", is provided under the trash can, so that the user can confirm whether to delete the news application card. Referring to fig. 5 (c), if the user confirms that the news application card is deleted, the user may click on an "OK" control under the trash can, and in response to the clicking operation of the "OK" control by the user, as shown in fig. 5 (d), the mobile phone removes the news application card from the folder icon M1. Of course, if the user clicks the "No" control, the mobile phone does not execute the deletion operation. That is, before deleting the application card, a prompt may also be presented to the user to facilitate the user in confirming whether to delete.

It should be noted that, the embodiments of the present application only take the example of displaying the trash can, the confirmation control and the cancel control after receiving the left-sliding operation of the user on the news application card. In another example, the user may be prompted by other means, and the user may be requested to confirm whether to delete, for example, the user may be prompted by text, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In one possible application scenario, if the user wants to restore the initial state of the folder icon M1 when any application card is displayed in the folder icon M1, the user may slide rightward on the currently displayed application card to trigger the mobile phone to restore the display state of the folder icon M1 to the initial state. For example, referring to fig. 6 (a), there is a news application card in the folder icon M1, and when the user wants to redisplay the application icon in the folder icon M1, the user can slide right on the news application card. Referring to fig. 6 (b), 9 application icons are redisplayed in the folder icon M1 in response to the user's operation of sliding rightward on the news application card, that is, the display state of the folder icon M1 is restored to the original state.

As an example of the present application, in a case where the mobile phone displays any one of the application cards in the folder icon M1, if the user does not perform any operation on the folder icon M1 and the displayed application card for a long time, the mobile phone resumes the initial state of displaying the folder icon M1. For example, as shown in fig. 7, in the case where the news application card is displayed in the folder icon M1, if the mobile phone does not detect any operation of the folder icon M1 and the news application card by the user within 15 seconds, the mobile phone resumes displaying 9 application icons in the folder icon M1. That is, in the case where any one application card is displayed in the folder icon M1 by the mobile phone, one case may trigger the mobile phone to restore the display state of the folder icon M1 to the initial state by the user, and in the other case, the mobile phone may automatically restore to the initial state when any operation of the folder icon M1 and the displayed application card by the user is not detected by the mobile phone for a period of time.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the application card is displayed in the folder icon M1 by the mobile phone triggered to slide right on the folder icon M1. In another example, the user may perform other operations on the folder icon M1 to trigger the mobile phone to display the application card on the folder icon M1, for example, the other operations may be an operation of sliding the folder icon M1 to the left, or may be an operation of sliding the folder icon M1 upward, or may be an operation of sliding the folder icon M1 downward, or may be other operations, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In another exemplary application scenario, the application card preferentially displayed by the mobile phone may be different according to the sliding direction of the user on the folder icon M1. In one example, referring to fig. 8 (a), if an operation of sliding the user right on the folder icon M1 is detected, as shown in fig. 8 (b), in response to an operation of sliding the user right on the folder icon M1, the mobile phone preferentially displays weather application cards in the folder icon M1, where the stacked application cards may be a weather application program, a news application card, a gallery application card, a clock application card, and a music application card in order from top to bottom, such as when the user slides up on the weather application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card as a news application card, and when the user continues to slide up on the news application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card as a gallery application card, and so on. In another example, referring to fig. 9 (a), if an operation of sliding the user left on the folder icon M1 is detected, as shown in fig. 9 (b), in response to an operation of sliding the user left on the folder icon M1, the mobile phone preferentially displays the gallery application cards in the folder icon M1, where the stacked application cards may be the gallery application card, the news application card, the weather application card, the music application card, and the clock application card in order from top to bottom, for example, when the user slides up on the gallery application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card as the news application card, when the user continues to slide up on the news application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card as the weather application card, and so on. In another example, referring to fig. 10 (a), if a user sliding down on the folder icon M1 is detected, as shown in fig. 10 (b), in response to the user sliding down on the folder icon M1, the mobile phone preferentially displays weather application cards in the folder icon M1, where the stacked application cards may be the weather application card, the clock application card, the news application card, the gallery application card, and the music application card in order from top to bottom, for example, when the user slides up on the weather application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card as the clock application card, when the user continues to slide up on the clock application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card as the news application card, and so on. In another example, referring to fig. 11 (a), if an operation of sliding the user up on the folder icon M1 is detected, as shown in fig. 11 (b), in response to an operation of sliding the user up on the folder icon M1, the mobile phone preferentially displays clock application cards in the folder icon M1, where the stacked application cards may be sequentially clock application cards, weather application cards, news application cards, music application cards, gallery application cards from top to bottom, for example, when the user slides up on the clock application cards, the mobile phone displays the next application card as the weather application card, when the user continues to slide up on the weather application cards, the mobile phone displays the next application card as the news application card, and so on.

Optionally, in order to facilitate the user to intuitively view which application icons in the folder icon M1 correspond to which application cards supported by the application programs can be displayed in the folder icon M1, the mobile phone may also display a specific identifier in the folder icon M1 in the vicinity of these application icons, for example, the specific identifier may be, but not limited to, an underline, a dot, or a wavy line. For example, referring to (a) of fig. 3, in the folder icon, a designated identifier is displayed under each application icon of the weather application, the news application, the gallery application, the clock application, and the music application.

As an example of the application, in the case that a plurality of application icons are displayed in the folder icon M1, the user may also directly operate a certain application icon to trigger the mobile phone to display an application card of the application program corresponding to the triggered application icon in the folder icon M1. For example, referring to fig. 12 (a), when the user wants to view the news application card, the user can slide upward on the news application icon in the folder icon M1. Referring to fig. 12 (b), in response to the user's operation of sliding the news application icon up in the folder icon M1, the mobile phone displays a news application card in the folder icon M1. Further, page numbers of the news application card and page numbers of other application cards are displayed on the right side of the folder icon M1, and at this time, the page numbers of the news application cards are displayed in a selected state. On this basis, in one example, referring to fig. 12 (c), if the user slides up in the news application icon, the mobile phone displays an application card of the next page of the news application card, such as a display gallery application card, in response to the user sliding up in the news application icon. In another example, referring to (d) of fig. 12, if the user slides down in the news application card, the mobile phone displays an application card of the last page of the news application card, such as a weather application card, in response to the user sliding down in the news application icon. That is, the mobile phone supports the user to directly operate a certain application icon in the folder icon M1, and displays an application card of an application program corresponding to the application icon, and then still supports the user to turn up and down pages of the application card.

In an exemplary application scenario, the user may also choose to view application cards corresponding to some of the application icons therein. For example, referring to fig. 13 (a), when the user wants to view the news application card corresponding to the news application icon, the gallery application card corresponding to the gallery application icon, and the clock application card corresponding to the clock application icon in the folder icon M1, the user can press any one of the news application icon, the gallery application icon, and the clock application icon for a long time, such as pressing the news application icon for a long time. Referring to fig. 13 (b), in response to a long press operation of a user on any one of the news application icon, gallery application icon and clock application icon (e.g., news application icon), the mobile phone displays each application icon in the folder icon M1 as an optional state, and provides a selection completion control, such as an option completion control being a hook-to-hook control, that is, a "v" control. Thus, the user can select the application icons according to the need, such as the news application icon, gallery application icon, and clock application icon shown in fig. 13 (c). After the selection is completed, the user may trigger a select completion control. Thereafter, referring to fig. 13 (d), the user can slide in a specific direction on the folder icon M1, for example, to the right. Referring to fig. 13 (e), in response to the sliding operation of the user, the mobile phone displays a news application icon, and displays page numbers of the news application icon and page numbers of application cards corresponding to each application icon in other selected application icons on the right side of the folder icon M1, that is, other application cards including a gallery application card and a clock application card. Also, on this basis, the user can slide upward on the news application card, and in response to the user's operation of sliding upward on the news application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card, i.e., displays the gallery application icon, on the folder icon M1. Further, when the user slides up on the gallery application card, in response to the user sliding up on the gallery application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card, that is, the clock application card, on the folder icon M1.

In another exemplary application scenario, please refer to fig. 14 (a), when the user wants to view the news application card corresponding to the news application icon, the gallery application card corresponding to the gallery application icon, and the clock application card corresponding to the clock application icon in the folder icon M1, the folder icon M1 may be pressed for a long time. Referring to fig. 14 (b), in response to the long press operation of the folder icon M1 by the user, the mobile phone displays a selection interface 1400, where the selection interface 1400 includes a weather application icon, a news application icon, a gallery application icon, a clock application icon, and a music application icon in the folder icon M1, and each application icon corresponds to a setting switch, and the setting switch is in an on state by default, so that the user can select an application icon corresponding to an application card that does not want to be viewed according to actual needs. For example, referring to fig. 14 (c), the user may turn off the setting switch corresponding to the weather application icon and the setting switch corresponding to the music application icon. Thereafter, the user may touch select the interface closure control 1401 provided in the interface 1400. Referring to fig. 14 (d), in response to the user's touch operation on the interface close control 1401, the mobile phone returns to the desktop. Referring to fig. 14 (e), the user can slide (e.g., rightward) on the folder icon M1 in a certain designated direction, and as shown in fig. 14 (f), in response to the slide operation by the user, the mobile phone displays a news application icon in the folder icon M1 and displays page characters of the news application icon and page characters of other application cards including a gallery application card and a clock application card on the right side of the folder icon M1. Also, on this basis, the user can slide upward on the news application card, and in response to the user's operation of sliding upward on the news application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card, i.e., displays the gallery application icon, on the folder icon M1. Further, when the user slides up on the gallery application card, in response to the user sliding up on the gallery application card, the mobile phone displays the next application card, that is, the clock application card, on the folder icon M1.

In an exemplary application scenario, when any application card is displayed in the folder icon M1 of the mobile phone, a certain application icon in the desktop may be dragged into a large folder, and if the application card supported by the application corresponding to the dragged application icon can be displayed in the folder icon M1, the application card of the application corresponding to the dragged application icon may also be displayed in the uppermost layer of the stacked application cards. For example, referring to fig. 15 (a), in the case where the weather application card is displayed in the folder icon M1, the user may drag the memo application icon on the desktop into the large folder. Referring to fig. 15 b, in response to the user dragging the memo application icon into the large folder, the mobile phone may update and display the contents in the folder icon M1 as an application card (simply referred to as a memo application card) of the memo application corresponding to the memo application icon, and add the page number of the memo application card on the right side of the folder icon M1. At this time, the weather application card is located at the next page, that is, after the user slides up on the memo application card, the mobile phone displays the weather application card in the folder icon M1 in response to the sliding operation of the user. In this case, when the mobile phone resumes the display state of the folder icon M1 to the initial state, the memo application icon is displayed first in the folder icon M1.

In an exemplary application scenario, the large folder may also support a page-turning operation, in which case, the functions of the above application scenarios may also be supported in the folder icon after page-turning, that is, a shortcut operation is also supported in the folder icon after page-turning, so that the mobile phone displays the application card in the folder icon after page-turning. For example, referring to fig. 16 (a), a large folder includes two pages of application icons, and when a user wants to turn pages, the folder icon M1 can be slid to the left. Referring to fig. 16 (b), in response to a left-hand slide operation of the folder icon M1 by the user, the mobile phone displays a folder icon M2 of a large folder, and the folder icon M2 includes a plurality of application icons, such as a sports health application icon and a memo application icon. Referring to fig. 16 (c), when the user wants to view an application card of an application program corresponding to the sports health application icon, the user can slide upward on the folder icon M2. Referring to fig. 16 (d), in response to an operation of the user sliding up on the folder icon M2, the mobile phone displays an application card 1600 of an application program corresponding to the sports health application icon (referred to as a sports health application card for short) in the folder icon M2, and displays the page number of the sports health application card and the page number of the memo application card on the right side of the folder icon M2, at this time, the page number of the sports health application card is displayed as a selected state, and the user may slide up on the sports health application card to cause the mobile phone to display the next application card, that is, display the memo application card.

In one example, in the case where any one application card is displayed in the folder icon M2 of the mobile phone, the user may slide the currently displayed application card left, so that the mobile phone removes the currently displayed application card and displays the application card corresponding to the next application icon in the folder icon M2. For example, referring to fig. 17 (a), in the case where the sports health application card is displayed in the folder icon M2, when the user slides the sports health application card left, in response to a user's left-sliding operation of the sports health application card, as shown in fig. 17 (b), the mobile phone removes the sports health application card from the folder icon M2 and displays the memo application card. Of course, the user may also be requested to confirm as shown in fig. 5 before removing the sports health application card, which will not be described in detail herein. Further, referring to fig. 17 (c), in the case where the sports health application card is displayed in the folder icon M2, when the user slides the sports health application card right, in response to a right sliding operation of the sports health application card by the user, the mobile phone displays the folder icon M2 of the large folder in the desktop, and the folder icon M2 includes the sports health application icon and the memo application icon, that is, returns to the initial state of the folder icon M2.

In one example, when the user wants to view an application card corresponding to a certain application icon in the folder icons M2, the user may slide upward on the application icon, so that the mobile phone displays the application card corresponding to the application icon in the folder icon M2. For example, referring to fig. 18 (a), if the user wants to view the application card of the memo application card, the user may slide upward on the sports health application icon, and in response to the user sliding upward on the memo application icon, the mobile phone displays the memo application card in the folder icon M2 and displays the page number of the memo application card and the page number of the sports health application card on the right side of the folder icon M2 as shown in fig. 18 (b), at which time the page number of the memo application card is displayed as a selected state.

In one example, when any application card is displayed in the folder icon M2 of the mobile phone, the user may drag the application icon in the desktop into the folder icon M2, and when the application card supported by the application program corresponding to the application icon dragged by the user can be displayed in the folder icon M2, the application card corresponding to the application icon dragged by the user may be added to the folder icon M2. For example, referring to fig. 19 (a), in the case where the sports health application card is displayed in the folder icon M2, the user may drag the calendar application icon of the calendar application in the desktop into the folder icon M2, and in response to the drag operation by the user, as shown in fig. 19 (b), the cellular phone displays the application card of the calendar application in the folder icon M2 and adds the page number of the application card of the calendar application to the right side of the folder icon M2, and the page number is displayed in a selected state. That is, the sports health application card is located on the next page of the application card of the calendar application.

Of course, the folder icon M2 also supports the user to select a part of the application icons so as to view the application cards corresponding to the selected part of the application icons. The specific operation thereof can be found on the folder icon M1, and will not be described in detail here.

It should be noted that the above description only uses an application folder including two application icons as an example. It is to be understood that more pages of application icons may be included in the application folder, and in this case, when the folder icon including any page of application icons is displayed, shortcut operations may be performed on the application icons in the folder icon or in the folder icon according to the above procedure, so that the mobile phone displays, in the folder icon, the application card of the application program corresponding to the application icon included in the folder icon.

After the application scenario is introduced, the software system of the electronic device according to the embodiment of the application is described next.

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

Fig. 20 is a block diagram of a software system of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 20, the hierarchical architecture divides the software into several layers, each with distinct roles and branches. 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. 20, the application package may include applications such as cameras, gallery, calendar, talk, map, navigation, music, video, short message, etc.

As one example of the present application, the application layer also includes a desktop launcher, a card manager, and a folder management module. As one example, a desktop launcher is used to manage a desktop host process and can trigger an add operation, edit operation, switch operation, etc. to an application card. The card manager may be used to manage the card, such as determining application card dimensions supported by the application, receiving updated application card content sent by the application on an irregular basis, and the like. The folder management module may be used to manage application icons in an application folder, for example, may be used to delete application icons or add application icons in an application folder, and may be used to update a folder icon that displays an application folder, and so on.

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. 20, 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, 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.

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 software and hardware is illustrated below in connection with capturing a photo scene.

When the touch sensor receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is sent 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 clicking operation, taking a control corresponding to the clicking operation as a control of a camera application icon as an example, calling an interface of an application program framework layer by a camera application, starting the camera application, then calling a kernel layer to start a camera driver, and capturing a still image or video through the camera.

On the basis of the electronic device provided above, a method for displaying an application card provided in the embodiment of the present application will be explained in detail. Referring to fig. 21, fig. 21 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying application cards according to an exemplary embodiment, where a plurality of application icons in an application folder are not displayed in a paginated manner. By way of example and not limitation, the method may be applied to the electronic device, and the method may include some or all of the following:

Step 2101: and receiving a first operation of a first folder icon of an application folder on a desktop of the electronic device, wherein the application folder comprises a plurality of application icons, and if the electronic device receives a click operation of a user on any one application icon in the plurality of application icons when the first folder icon is displayed on the desktop, displaying an application interface of an application program corresponding to the any one application icon.

As one example of the present application, the application folder is the large folder described previously. That is, when the electronic device detects the clicking operation of the user on any one of the application icons in the first folder icon, the electronic device displays the application interface of the application program corresponding to the clicked application icon, that is, the user can directly operate the application icon in the first folder icon without opening the application folder and then operating.

The first folder icon may be the folder icon M1 in the embodiment shown in fig. 3. In one possible scenario, the first folder icon includes all application icons in the application folder, for example, if the application folder includes 9 application icons and the first folder icon can hold at most 9 application icons, the first folder icon includes all application icons in the application folder; in another possible case, the first folder icon includes a part of the application icons in the application folder, for example, if the application folder includes 11 application icons and the first folder icon can hold 9 application icons at most, it is not easy to understand that the first folder icon includes a part of the application icons in the application folder, in which case two other application icons may be displayed in a stacked manner on the last application icon in the first folder icon, for example, as shown in (a) of fig. 3.

In one example, a first folder icon is displayed in a main interface of the electronic device; in another example, the first folder icon is displayed in a negative screen of the electronic device. The size of the first folder icon may be 2cm×2cm, or the size of the first folder icon may be 2cm×4cm.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the size of the first folder icon is only illustrated as 2cm×2cm or 2cm×4cm, and in another example, the size of the folder icon of the large folder may also be other specifications, for example, may also be 4cm×4cm specification, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In one example, the first operation is a sliding operation, such as the application scenario shown in fig. 3, and the first operation is a right sliding operation. In another example, the first operation may include any one of left-sliding, right-sliding, up-sliding, and down-sliding, such as the application scenarios shown in fig. 8-11.

Step 2102: and responding to the first operation, displaying a first application card in the first folder icon, wherein the first application card is an application card of an application program corresponding to the first application icon in the plurality of application icons.

As an example of the present application, among the plurality of application icons, the application card size supported by the application program corresponding to the first application icon includes the size of the first folder icon.

Typically, the application card size that the application can support may include one or more, such as an application card size that the application supports including 2cm by 2cm, 2cm by 4cm, and 4cm by 4cm. In one example, when an application is installed on an electronic device, the card manager may be registered with the application card size that it is capable of supporting, after which updated content of the application card is sent to the card manager aperiodically. In this way, when the first operation is received, the electronic device may determine, through the card manager, which application icons of the plurality of application icons correspond to application cards supported by the application card, including the size of the first folder icon, that is, the same size as the first folder icon, so as to determine which application icons correspond to application cards of the application programs that can be displayed in the first folder icon, and use the determined application icons as candidate application icons. And then, the electronic equipment sequentially stacks the application cards corresponding to the application icons in the candidate application icons according to the display sequence of the application icons in the first folder icon in the determined candidate application icons, wherein the application cards corresponding to the application icons in the candidate application icons are ranked higher. Then, the electronic device displays the stacked application cards in the first folder icon.

As one example, among the plurality of application icons, the application card size supported by the application program corresponding to the second application icon includes the size of the first folder icon. That is, application cards supported by an application corresponding to a first application icon among the plurality of application icons can be displayed in the first folder icon, and application cards supported by an application corresponding to a second application icon can be displayed in the first folder icon. And in the first folder icon, the first application icon in the candidate application icons is arranged before the second application icon, so that after the first application card corresponding to the first application icon and the second application card corresponding to the second application icon are stacked, the first application card is positioned on the upper layer of the second application card, and after the stacked first application card and second application card are displayed in the first folder icon, the first application card is displayed in the first folder icon.

It is worth mentioning that only the application card with the adaptive size is displayed in the first folder icon, so that the application card is prevented from being subjected to size adjustment, the problem of disorder typesetting in the application card caused by adjustment is avoided, the display effectiveness of the application card is improved, and the display accuracy is ensured.

The above description is given by taking stacking of the first application card and the second application card according to the display order of each application icon in the candidate application icons in the first folder icon as an example. In another example, in a case where the first operation is a sliding operation and the sliding direction includes any one of left, right, up, and down, the first application icon and the second application icon may also be determined according to the sliding direction, thereby stacking the first application card and the second application card. That is, in response to the first operation, stacking the first application card and the second application card in order according to the display order of the first application icon and the second application icon in the first folder icon may include: in response to the sliding operation, a candidate application icon is determined from the plurality of application icons for which the corresponding application card size supported by the application program includes the size of the first folder icon. And determining the first application icon and the second application icon from the candidate application icons according to the sliding direction of the sliding operation and the display sequence of each application icon in the candidate application icons in the first folder icon. And stacking the first application card corresponding to the first application icon and the second application card corresponding to the second application icon in sequence. See in particular the application scenarios shown in fig. 8-11. Therefore, the user can slide the first folder icon according to the corresponding sliding direction according to the actual viewing requirement, so that the electronic equipment displays the application card of the application program corresponding to the application icon which the user wants to view preferentially.

As an example of the present application, in response to the first operation, the mobile phone may further display the page number of the first application card and the page number of the second application card at a specified position in the vicinity of the first folder icon, and select the page number of the first application card. Wherein the designated location may be set according to actual needs, for example, the designated area may be the right area as shown in fig. 3 (c). Therefore, the user can conveniently and intuitively check the total application cards and the pages of the application cards currently displayed.

As an example of the application, the first application icon and the second application icon are both application icons in the first folder icon, that is, the electronic device may display, in the first folder icon, only an application card corresponding to the application icon included in the first folder icon. For example, in implementation, the electronic device may determine, through the card manager, an application card size supported by an application corresponding to each application icon in the first folder icon, then determine, from the first folder icon, a candidate application icon whose application card size supported by the corresponding application includes the size of the first folder icon, and determine, according to a display order of each application icon in the candidate application icon in the first folder icon, the first application icon and the second application icon, thereby stacking the first application card and the second application card.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the candidate application icon includes the first application icon and the second application icon only as an example, and it is understood that, in implementation, the candidate application icon may include more application icons.

As an example of the present application, when a first folder icon is displayed on a desktop, an application card of a corresponding application program of a plurality of application icons can be displayed in a vicinity of the application icon in the first folder icon with a specified identifier. For example, referring to fig. 3 (a), the specified identifier may be a dot. Therefore, a user can intuitively know which application icon or application cards of the application programs corresponding to the application icons in the first folder icons can be displayed in the first folder icons, and user experience is improved.

The above description is given by taking, as an example, an application card corresponding to an application icon having a size adapted to be displayed on the first folder icon. In another example, if the application card size supported by a certain application can be adjusted to be the same as the size of the first folder icon, the application card of the application may also be displayed in the first folder icon.

Step 2103: a second operation is received on the first application card.

As one example of the present application, as shown in (d) of fig. 3, the second operation is an operation of sliding upward.

Step 2104: and responding to the second operation, displaying a second application card in the first folder icon, wherein the first application card is an application card of an application program corresponding to the second application icon in the plurality of application icons.

Upon receiving the second operation, the user is instructed to view the next application card, so the handset displays a second application card in the first folder icon, which is located below the first application card, for example as shown in fig. 3 (e). In one example, in a case where the page number of the first application card and the page number of the second application card are displayed at the vicinity of the first folder icon at a specified position, the page number of the second application card is displayed in a selected state.

Therefore, the function of quickly looking up the application card corresponding to the application icon in the application folder is realized. In an example, in a case where any one application card is displayed in the first folder icon, an operation may be performed on the application card, and next, taking a case where a second application card is displayed in the first folder icon as an example, the operations of the following steps 2105 to 2106 or the operations of the following steps 2107 to 2108 may be specifically included:

Step 2105: a third operation is received on the second application card.

As an example of the present application, referring to fig. 4 (a), the third operation may be a left-slide operation.

Step 2106: and deleting the second application card from the first folder icon in response to the third operation.

That is, if an operation of sliding the user on the second application card to the left is received, it is indicated that the user wants to ignore the second application card, and in this case, the electronic device deletes the second application card from the first folder icon and displays an application card of a next page of the second application card, for example, displays the first application card. So the user can make electronic equipment delete the second application card from first file icon through left side second application card to can delete the second application card fast promptly to the convenience of operation has been improved, user experience has been improved.

In one example, in response to the third operation, the mobile phone may further display a delete prompt message for prompting the user to confirm whether to delete the currently operated application card, as shown in (b) of fig. 5. If the confirmation operation of the user is received based on the deletion prompt message, the user is informed to confirm to delete the application card currently operated, and the mobile phone deletes the second application card from the first folder icon; if the cancel operation of the user is received based on the delete prompt message, the user does not want to delete the application card of the current operation, and the mobile phone closes the delete prompt message, namely does not delete the second application card. Thus, the problem that the second application card is deleted by mistake due to misoperation of the user can be avoided.

As an example of the application, in the case of deleting the second application card, if the next time the first operation of the user on the first folder icon is received on the desktop, the mobile phone may determine, through the card manager, whether the content of the second application card is updated. If the content of the second application card is updated, the second application card may be continuously stacked, that is, the user may continuously see the second application card in the application cards stacked in the first folder icon. Otherwise, if the content of the second application card is not updated, the second application card may not be stacked, that is, the user may not see the second application card in the application cards stacked in the first folder icon.

Step 2107: a fourth operation is received on the second application card.

As one example of the present application, as shown in fig. 6 (a), the fourth operation is a right-slide operation.

Step 2108: and in response to the fourth operation, restoring the display state of the first folder icon to the initial state.

That is, if an operation of sliding the user on the second application card to the right is received, it indicates that the user wants to redisplay the application icon in the first folder icon, that is, the second application card or other application card does not need to be redisplayed, in which case, the electronic device returns the display state of the first folder icon to the initial state, that is, the application icon is displayed in the first folder icon, as shown in (b) of fig. 6. Therefore, the user can restore the display state of the first folder icon to the initial state by sliding the second application card right, so that the complicated operation of the user is avoided, the convenience of operation is improved, and the user experience is improved.

It is worth mentioning that the user can flexibly switch the display of the application card and the application icon in the first folder icon through gestures, and on the premise of not newly increasing the display space, the requirements of the user for quickly consulting the application information in the large folder or performing the quick operation in the application are met.

In addition, the user may not only restore the display state of the first folder icon to the initial state by sliding the mobile phone on any application card to the right, but in one example, if any operation of the user on the first folder icon and the currently displayed application card is not received within a preset period of time, the mobile phone may also restore the display state of the first folder icon to the initial state, such as the application scenario shown in fig. 7.

It should be noted that, there is no strict sequence of execution between the step 2105 and the step 2107, which belongs to two different situations.

As one example of the application, while displaying the first folder icon on the desktop, the electronic device receives a fifth operation on the second application icon on the desktop, and in response to the fifth operation, the electronic device displays the second application card in the first folder icon. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 12 (a), the fifth operation may be a slide-up operation. That is, for a certain application icon in the application folder, the electronic device further supports the user to perform accurate operation on the application icon, and at this time, in response to the operation of the user, the electronic device directly displays an application card of an application program corresponding to the application icon operated by the user in the first folder icon. Therefore, the user is supported to perform accurate operation, the user can directly check the application card of a certain application program according to actual requirements, the need of searching is avoided, the checking efficiency of the application card is improved, and accordingly user experience is improved.

In one example, in response to the fifth operation, the electronic device may further display a page number of the first application card and a page number of the second application card at a vicinity designated position of the first folder icon, and select the page number of the second application card. That is, when the user directly operates the second application icon, not only the corresponding second application card is displayed in the first folder icon, but also the page number of the second application card is directly displayed in the selected state. Therefore, the user can conveniently and intuitively check which page of the stacked application cards and which page of the application cards the second application card displayed at present is positioned, and the intuitiveness of checking by the user is improved.

As an example of the application, the first folder icon further includes other application icons, and application cards of application programs corresponding to the other application icons can be displayed in the first folder icon. In this case, before receiving a first operation of a first folder icon of an application folder on a desktop of the electronic device, the electronic device receives a sixth operation of the first application icon and the second application icon on the desktop, and selects the first application icon and the second application icon in response to the sixth operation.

For example, in the case where the first folder icon includes a plurality of application icons and application cards of application programs corresponding to the application icons in the plurality of application icons can be displayed in the first folder icon, the electronic device further supports a user to select a first application icon and a second application icon to be viewed from the plurality of application icons, so that only the application card of the application program corresponding to the first application icon and the application card of the application program corresponding to the second application icon are viewed. The operation flow can be seen from the application scenario shown in fig. 13 or fig. 14.

Of course, as an example of the present application, in the case where any application card is displayed in the first folder icon, the user is further supported to drag the application icon from the desktop into the application folder, and the related implementation may be referred to an example shown in fig. 15, which is not described in detail herein.

In the embodiment of the application, a first operation of a user on a first folder icon of an application folder is received on a desktop of the electronic device, the application folder comprises a plurality of application icons, and when the first folder icon is displayed on the desktop, if the electronic device receives a click operation of the user on any one of the application icons, the application interface of an application program corresponding to the any one of the application icons is displayed, that is, the application folder is a large folder. And responding to the first operation, and displaying a first application card of the application program corresponding to the first application icon in the first folder icon. And receiving a second operation on the first application card, and responding to the second operation, and a second application card of an application program corresponding to the second application icon in the first folder icon. Therefore, the space of the large folder is combined with the card space, so that a user can quickly look up the application card corresponding to the application icon in the application folder in the first folder icon through the shortcut gesture, and the requirement of quickly looking up the application information in the large folder by the user is met on the premise that the display space is not increased newly.

The above description is given by taking an example in which a plurality of application icons in an application folder are not displayed in a paginated manner. In one possible scenario, where multiple application icons in an application folder support pagination display, referring to fig. 22, the method for displaying an application card may include the following:

step 2201: a seventh operation is received on a desktop of the electronic device for a first folder icon of the application folder.

The application folder may be a large folder. The application folder comprises a plurality of application icons, and the application icons are displayed in a paging mode. Illustratively, the number of the plurality of application icons is N, where N is an integer greater than 1.

As one example of the present application, as shown in fig. 16 (a), the seventh operation may be a left-slide operation.

That is, in the case where M application icons are displayed in the first folder icon, the user may slide the first folder icon left to turn pages of the application folder. Wherein M is an integer less than N.

Step 2202: in response to the seventh operation, a second folder icon of the application folder is displayed on the desktop of the electronic device, the second folder icon including therein an application icon of a next page or a previous page of the application folder.

That is, in response to a user's left-hand sliding operation on the first folder icon, the electronic device displays an application icon of the next or previous page. The previous or next page includes application icons that are not identical to the application icons in the first folder icon, such as shown in fig. 16 (b).

Step 2203: an eighth operation is received on a desktop of the electronic device on the second folder icon.

In one example, the eighth operation may be, but is not limited to, a slide up operation or a slide down operation. The eighth operation may be a slide-up operation, for example, as shown in fig. 16 (c).

Step 2204: and in response to the eighth operation, displaying a third application card in the second folder icon, wherein the third application card is an application card of an application program corresponding to the third application icon included in the second folder icon.

That is, in the second folder icon, the user is also supported to trigger the electronic device to display the application card of the application program corresponding to one or some application icons in the second folder icon through the shortcut gesture. In one example, the application card size supported by the application corresponding to the application icon or icons includes the size of the second folder icon.

As an example of the present application, the number of application icons included in the second folder icon is plural, and application cards of application programs corresponding to the respective application icons in the second folder icon can be displayed in the second folder icon. And in response to the eighth operation, receiving a ninth operation on the third application card after the third application card is displayed in the second folder icon. And responding to the ninth operation, displaying a fourth application card in the second folder icons, wherein the fourth application card is an application card of an application program corresponding to the fourth application icon in the second folder icons.

In one example, the ninth operation is a slide-up operation. In other words, under the condition that a plurality of application cards are stacked in the second folder icon, the user is supported to turn pages of the stacked application cards, so that the user can conveniently and quickly look up other application cards.

As one example of the present application, in response to a seventh operation, a tenth operation on a fourth application icon is received on a desktop of the electronic device after a second folder icon of the application folder is displayed on the desktop. In response to the tenth operation, a fourth application card is displayed in the second folder icon.

In one example, the tenth operation is a slide-up operation. Namely, in the second folder icon, the user is supported to accurately operate a certain application icon so as to view the application card of the application program corresponding to the certain application icon, and therefore user experience is improved.

In addition, the shortcut operation supported in the second folder icon further includes the first file and other shortcut operations in the icon, and specifically, the application scenarios illustrated in fig. 17, 19 and the like may be referred to, which are not described herein.

In the embodiment of the application, a seventh operation of a user on the first folder icon of the application folder is received on the desktop of the electronic device, and the second folder icon is displayed in response to the seventh operation. And receiving an eighth operation on the second folder icon, and displaying a third application card of the application program corresponding to the third application icon in the second folder icon in response to the eighth operation. Therefore, in the second folder icon after page turning, the third application card can be displayed in the second folder icon according to the shortcut gesture of the user, and the requirement that the user refers to the application information in the large folder quickly is met on the premise that the display space is not increased newly.
