1 is a schematic flowchart of an icon display method of a smart terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The icon display method includes the following steps:

S1: Pre-storing at least one multimedia information in the smart terminal.

The smart terminal may be a smart terminal device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, or a multimedia player. The multimedia information may be a piece of information displayed in a time series according to a video, an animation, a dynamic picture, and the like. In this step, at least one piece of multimedia information is pre-stored in the smart terminal, for example, a plurality of pieces of video or several dynamic pictures are stored. The smart terminal has a storage component, such as a flash memory chip or a hard disk, and can store various types of digitized information. The manner of pre-storing the multimedia information into the smart terminal may be transmitted to the smart terminal through a network, or may be transmitted to the smart terminal through a serial interface through a physical connection line.

S2: Associate the multimedia information with an icon on a display interface of at least one of the smart terminals.

The icon is a shortcut of each application or system tool in the smart terminal, and is generally distributed on the desktop of the smart terminal or other commonly used display interface, so that the user can quickly find and open related applications or system tools. The icon is essentially a picture, and is displayed on a display interface of the smart terminal according to a certain size format. In this step, the icon is associated with the multimedia information pre-stored in step S1 for at least one icon, and the implementation means is to create a record table, and record the name of the icon (ie, the name of the application corresponding to the icon) And the name and storage path of the associated multimedia information. Just determine the name of the icon, The name and storage path of the multimedia information corresponding to the icon can be known. The icon is associated with the multimedia information in a one-to-one correspondence, and each icon has its own corresponding multimedia information. In this embodiment, it is recommended that the number of selected icons does not have to be too much, otherwise it may cause a dazzling feeling and cannot highlight the key points; it is recommended to associate 1-3 icons for association.

S3: Determine whether the smart terminal displays a display interface including the icon.

During the use of the smart terminal, the display is often switched between different display interfaces. In this step, it is determined whether the display interface displayed by the smart terminal includes the icon. The number of associated icons in the step S2 is limited, and may only be distributed in a few display interfaces. Only the display interface including the icons can display the icons. When the smart terminal generates an icon, information related to the icon, such as a display position of the icon and corresponding application information, that is, which display interface the icon is displayed is known. When the smart terminal displays a certain display interface, the display content of the pre-stored display interface is invoked. In this step, only the information of the display content invoked by the smart terminal is detected, and it is known whether the icon is located. Whether the display interface is displayed.

S4: When the smart terminal displays the display interface, displaying the multimedia information in a display area of the icon.

When the step S3 determines that the smart terminal displays the display interface, the content of this step is executed, that is, the multimedia information associated with the icon is displayed in the display area of the icon. There may be more than one associated icon in the display interface, and the respective associated multimedia information is displayed in the display area of the icons. Generally, on the display interface, the icons are displayed in a preset display area of the smart terminal, and each of the icons occupies the same display area, and all the icons are arranged in a matrix form. When the multimedia information is displayed in this step, it is displayed only in the display area of the icon associated with the multimedia information, and does not hinder the normal display of other unrelated icons. When the multimedia information is displayed, the associated icon is no longer displayed; after the multimedia information is displayed, the icon is displayed. That is, when the smart terminal displays the display interface, the multimedia information is displayed instead of the icon at the position of the associated icon, and after the multimedia information is played, the icon continues to be displayed according to the normal state. Since the icon is associated with the multimedia information in the step S2, the icon on the display interface is deleted only when the step is executed, and the location of the icon is used to call the storage path of the multimedia information. The multimedia information is displayed. When the multimedia information is displayed, the size and position of the play interface of the multimedia information may be modified by a control so as to be displayed in the display area of the icon.

In some embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, when at least one piece of multimedia information is pre-stored in the smart terminal, the multimedia information includes an icon picture in which a display state of the icon is recorded. The preferred embodiment preferably optimizes the multimedia information, that is, the multimedia information is a set of icon pictures in which the display state of the icon is recorded. The implementation of the multimedia information is actually similar to the principle of the dynamic image. The dynamic picture is split into multiple picture frames, and then the pictures are sequentially displayed in order, so that the dynamic play effect can be realized. In this embodiment, the content of the icon picture is various display states of the icon. For example, if the multimedia information displays an animation effect of shaking the icon left and right, the icon picture is recorded according to the icon according to the center. The content of each frame that is gradually rotated back and forth at a certain angle, when the icon picture is displayed in order, the animation effect of shaking the icon left and right may occur. The icon pictures in the multimedia information are numbered in order so that they can be displayed in order in other steps.

Referring to FIG. 2, it is a schematic diagram of a specific process in step S4 of FIG. 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The step S4 includes:

S4-1: Acquire all icon images in the multimedia information associated with the icon.

In this embodiment, the multimedia information exists in the form of a set of icon pictures. In this step, all the icon images in the multimedia information associated with the icon are obtained. Since the icon has been associated with the storage path of the multimedia information in the step S2, the storage location of the icon image can be found and copied to the memory. Such as to support the location of subsequent processing.

S4-2: sequentially display the icon picture according to a frequency that is not lower than a frequency threshold preset in the smart terminal.

This step displays the icon picture acquired in the step S4-1, and when the icon picture is displayed, the display frequency thereof is not lower than the frequency threshold. The frequency definition of the icon picture display is to satisfy a better visual effect. Because people have visual persistence when observing things, that is, when the human eye observes the scene, the light signal is transmitted to the brain nerve, and it takes a short time. After the end of the light, the visual image does not disappear immediately. The average visual persistence time of a person is 0.05 seconds, that is, 20 Hz. If the frequency of the picture is higher than 20 Hz, the person sees a continuously changing image effect. The frequency threshold is preferably 24 Hz, drawing on a movie show of 24 frames per second. Therefore, in this step, the smart terminal invokes the display driver module inside the smart terminal to display the icon image in sequence according to a certain frequency to realize a dynamic visual effect. The implementation of this step can also be implemented by synchronizing with the display of the refresh frequency of the smart terminal. When the smart terminal displays the display interface, the content of the entire display interface is refreshed according to a predetermined frequency, so that the smart terminal can be displayed on the smart terminal. In the next frame of content, the location of the icon is replaced with the icon image; each time the display interface is refreshed, the next icon image is replaced to achieve the effect of synchronously playing the multimedia information.

In some embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, when at least one multimedia information is pre-stored in the smart terminal, the content of the multimedia information is that the icon surrounds the icon in a plane where the display interface is located. The center point rotates one week. This embodiment optimizes the dynamic effect of the multimedia information, that is, the icon surrounds the icon. The center point is rotated one revolution, and the rotation motion is limited to the plane in which the display interface is located. Such a dynamic effect only requires a two-dimensional planar icon content material, which is relatively easy to implement and has a large display area; if the multimedia information is a stereoscopic flip of the icon, a stereoscopic projection image of the multi-frame icon is required, and when the icon When the display interface is vertical, only a projection of the icon on the display interface is displayed, and the display area is too small.

3 is a schematic flowchart of an icon display method of a smart terminal according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. The icon display method further includes the following steps:

S5: Determine whether the time interval of the display interface is less than a time threshold preset in the smart terminal after the smart terminal hides the display interface that includes the icon.

This step is used as the subsequent step of the step S4. Since the smart terminal does not stay on the display interface including the icon, it will switch to other display interfaces in actual use, and it is still possible to switch back to the inclusion site. The display interface of the icon, this step judges this situation. In this step, the display interface where the icon is located is hidden, and a time interval is formed when the display interface is displayed again, and it is determined whether the time interval is less than the time threshold. The content actually judged in this step is whether the display interface is redisplayed after being hidden for a period of time. Since the smart terminal displays different information flows when displaying different display interfaces, the information flow can be detected to know which display interface is displayed, and the timing of the start of the timing and the timing of the end can be known. The implementation of the timing can call the system time of the intelligent terminal operating system, and the time interval can be obtained by subtracting the previous system time from the previous system time. The time threshold is preferably at least 10 seconds.

S6: When the time interval is less than the time threshold, the multimedia information is not displayed.

If the step S5 determines that the time interval is less than the time threshold, the multimedia information is not displayed. The purpose is that the user does not display the multimedia information when switching the display interface frequently, so as to avoid increasing the system resource burden; in addition, frequent switching is not conducive to the playback of the multimedia information. When this step is executed, the multimedia information associated with the icon is no longer played, but the icon is directly displayed according to the original state, and no other technical processing is required.
