The terminal device according to claim 7, wherein the terminal device further comprises:

a statistical unit for counting the time when the application is frozen;

And an adjusting unit, configured to adjust a thickness of ice on the icon wrapped by the ice block according to a time when the application is frozen; wherein the longer the application is frozen, the icon wrapped by the ice block The thicker the ice is.
The terminal device according to claim 8, wherein the terminal device further comprises:

a first determining unit, configured to determine whether a time when the user presses the icon wrapped by the ice block exceeds a preset time threshold;

a thawing activation unit, configured to initiate a process of thawing the application when a time when the user presses the icon wrapped by the ice block exceeds a preset time threshold;

a second effect unit, configured to display an effect of gradually dissolving the ice on the icon wrapped by the ice to represent the process of thawing the application; wherein the time for the user to press the icon wrapped by the ice Long, the thinner the ice on the icon wrapped in ice.
The terminal device according to claim 9, wherein the terminal device further comprises:

a second determining unit, configured to determine, when the user's finger leaves the icon wrapped by the ice block, whether the ice on the icon wrapped by the ice block is completely dissolved;

a thawing unit for restoring the right to run and start the application when the ice on the icon wrapped by the ice is completely dissolved, that is, the application is thawed successfully.
