detailed description

The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may include, but is not limited to, a mobile device such as a mobile phone, a tablet, or a palmtop computer.

As shown in FIG. 2, the implementation process of the method for moving an icon in the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

Step 201: Obtain a coordinate point of a target location of the icon to be moved.

Here, the user can long press the application icon located on the desktop of the mobile terminal, enter the drag mode, and move the application icon to any position according to his own needs. The target position of each application icon to be moved may be determined by the x-axis and y-axis coordinates of the coordinate point where the target position of the mobile application icon is to be moved.

Step 202: Determine, according to the coordinate point of the target location and the size of the preset virtual area, an effective area of the target location of the application to be moved;

Here, the virtual area is an area that matches the largest application icon among all application icon sizes, and the area may be a square area, and the purpose of setting the virtual area is to determine the length of the diagonal.

Here, before determining the effective area of the target position of the application to be moved, the method further includes: making a diagonal line based on the coordinate point of the target position, and placing the diagonal line in the preset virtual area The length is the length of the diagonal. Wherein, the diagonal line is a diagonal line with an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the abscissa and the ordinate based on the coordinate point of the target position.

Here, the determining is determined according to the coordinate point of the target location and the size of the preset virtual area. The effective area of the target location of the application icon to be moved, including:

Here, the reason for determining the effective area (private area) of the target location of the application to be moved is mainly that the application icons that have been moved after multiple times are not placed overlapping. Of course, if you do not consider the overlap problem, you need to control the placement of the icons by the user without overlapping. This will greatly increase the user's operation process, and the manual placement of the icons will not only be cumbersome, but also bring the user to the user. It is not convenient; therefore, you need to determine the effective area first.

Step 203: When it is determined that the effective area is not occupied by other application icons, move the application icon to be moved to the target location.

Here, before step 203, it is also necessary to acquire coordinate information of other application icons, and then calculate a linear distance between the coordinate points of the target position of the application to be moved and the coordinate points of other application icons; wherein the other application icons are An application icon pre-stored in the database, the stored information including coordinate information of the occupied area of the application icon.

Here, when it is determined that the valid area has been occupied by other application icons, it is determined that the application icon movement fails, and after determining that the application icon movement fails, the mobile application icon is further bounced back to the initial placement point.

Here, the determining whether the effective area has been occupied by other application icons comprises: a linear distance between a coordinate point of the target position of the application to be moved and a coordinate point of the other application icon, and a circle constituting the effective area The diameter is compared for size. If the former is smaller than the latter, it means that it is occupied; otherwise it means it is not occupied.

Here, after the user moves the application icon successfully, the database storing the desktop layout information of the mobile terminal is opened, and the arrangement information of the application icons recorded in the database is retrieved, thereby determining whether there is currently the applied application data in the database, if the database Already already exists in the current The application information of the moving icon only needs to update the information in the database, and replace the data of the coordinate point with the currently obtained coordinate information; if the application information of the currently moved icon does not exist in the database, the current information will be The application information and coordinate information of the moved icon are added to the database, and the data is saved.

The application information of the icon includes information such as a package name and a class name of the icon.

By repeating the above steps 201 to 203 in this way, the user can flexibly move and arrange the application icons into arbitrary patterns according to their own preferences, thereby achieving an effect of making the arrangement of the application icons more flexible, more personalized, and more interesting, such as The method shown in FIG. 3 can arrange the application icons into an A shape by using the method of the embodiment of the present invention. If the user is not satisfied with the pattern arrangement during the implementation process, the arranged patterns may be appropriately adjusted or modified until satisfactory. Therefore, the operation mode is more flexible, which is more convenient for the user's operation.

In order to implement the above method, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a device for moving an icon. As shown in FIG. 4, the device includes an obtaining module 41, a determining module 42, and a determining module 43.

The determining module 42 is configured to determine, according to the coordinate point of the target location and the size of the preset virtual area, an effective area of the target location of the application to be moved;

The determining module 43 is configured to determine whether the valid area has been occupied by other application icons, and if not, move the application icon to be moved to the target location.

Here, the device further includes: a calculation module 44 configured to acquire coordinate information of other application icons and calculate a target position of the mobile application icon before the determining module 43 determines whether the valid area has been occupied by other application icons. A linear distance between the coordinate point and the coordinate point of the other application icon; wherein the other application icon is an application icon pre-stored in the database.

Here, the determining module 43 determines whether the valid area has been occupied by other application icons, including:

The determining module 42 is further configured to make a diagonal line based on the coordinate point of the target position, and the diagonal line is determined before the determining module 42 determines that the effective area of the target position of the application icon is to be moved. The length within the preset virtual area is taken as the length of the diagonal.

The determination module 42 performs a diagonal line with reference to the coordinate point of the target position, and includes: drawing a pair with the horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate at an angle of 45 degrees based on the coordinate point of the target position. Corner line.

The determining module 42 determines, according to the coordinate point of the target location and the size of the preset virtual area, the effective area of the target location of the application to be moved, including:

Here, the virtual area is an area that matches the largest application icon among all application icon sizes.
