FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application display process according to an embodiment of the present invention. The process includes the following steps:

S101: Receive a display request for a background application.

S102: Display the icon of each first background application in the target circular display area.

The application display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention should be set as a terminal, and the terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like.

There are multiple application icons displayed on the terminal. The user will use multiple applications on the terminal. The applications that the user has used will run in the background, that is, there are background applications in the terminal. Each running application can be regarded as a task.

The user can perform certain operations on the terminal to cause the terminal to display the information of the background application. This operation can be, for example, double-clicking, pressing the HOME key, and the like. The terminal displays the information of the background application, that is, the terminal opens the multitasking management interface, and displays the information of the background application in the multitasking management interface. The user triggers the display operation of the background application, and the terminal receives the display operation of the background application. When the terminal receives a display operation of the background application triggered by the user, it is determined that a request for display of the background application is received.

At least one circular display area is stored in the terminal. Specifically, parameters such as a center angle, a center position, a large circle radius, and a small circle radius of each circular display area may be stored. The terminal may display the background application icon in the ring display area. Use the circular display area that displays the icon as the target circular display area. The target circular display area may include part of the circular display area saved by the terminal, or it may include all the circular display area saved by the terminal. The terminal can choose any circular display area as Target circular display area. When a display request is received, a background application displayed in a target circular display area is referred to as a first background application.

The terminal may determine each background application to be displayed before displaying the icon of the first background application, and each background application to be displayed may be understood as all currently existing background applications. The terminal may select a first background application from each background application to be displayed, and display an icon of the first background application in a target circular display area. When the terminal selects the first background application among each background application to be displayed, the terminal may choose at random.

Each circular display area stored in the terminal may be a 1/4 ring, that is, the center angle is 90 degrees. More preferably, the circular display area may be a semi-ring, that is, the center angle is 180 degrees. The position of the center of each circular display area can be preset by the system. The center angle and center position of each circular display area may be the same or different.

Because in one optional embodiment of the present invention, displaying the background application icon can not only display multiple background applications, facilitate the user to view the background application, but also display the background application icon, which can prevent the user's privacy from being leaked.

Example 2:

In order to make the displayed icons more consistent with the needs of users, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, before the icons of each first background application are displayed in the target circular display area, the The method also includes:

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the number of icons that can be displayed in each of the circular display areas stored in the terminal is limited. Generally, there are more icons that can be displayed in a circular display area with a large radius and a small circle with a small radius. There are fewer icons that can be displayed in the display area, and the number of icons that can be displayed in each circular display area in the terminal can be referred to as a third number. The third number of icons that can be displayed in each circular display area is determined, and the number of icons that the terminal can display simultaneously is also determined. The number of icons that the terminal can display simultaneously is called the first number, and each third number The sum is the first quantity.

The terminal may determine which applications are the first background application according to the first number of icons that can be displayed simultaneously by the terminal.

First, the second number of background applications to be displayed may be identified first, and according to the first number of icons that the terminal can display, determine whether the second number of icons of the background applications to be displayed can all be displayed, that is, determine the second Whether the number is greater than the first number. If the second number is not greater than the first number, the icons of the second number of background applications to be displayed can all be displayed, and each background application to be displayed can be used as the first background application. .

If the second number is not greater than the first number, the icons of the second number of background applications to be displayed cannot all be displayed. At this time, a part of the background applications can be selected as the first background application from the second number of background applications. When the first background application is selected, the selected number may be the first number, and when the terminal selects the first number of the first background applications in the second number, it may be arbitrarily selected. In order to make the background application displayed more suitable for the needs of the user, the priority of each background application can be saved in advance, and selection can be made according to the priority of each background application. Specifically, each background application can be sorted in order of priority from high to low, and the first number of background applications ranked first among the sorted background applications is selected as the first background application.

The priority of the background application may be preset by the user, and may be determined by the terminal according to at least one of the time and frequency of each application being used. Generally, the higher the frequency used, the higher the corresponding priority, and the later the time used, the higher the corresponding priority.

Example 3:

In order to make the displayed background application icons more regular, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, if the ring display area saved in advance by the terminal includes an inner ring display area and an outer ring display Area, and the icons of the second number of background applications can all be displayed. Before the icons of each first background application are displayed in the target circular display area, the method further includes:

If yes, use the inner ring display area as the target ring display area;

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the number of circular display areas saved by the terminal may be one or multiple. In order to make the displayed circular display areas have good visibility, the terminal may save two circular display areas. , When the background application icon is displayed in two circular display areas, the circular display area is of a suitable size, and the size of the displayed icon is appropriate.

The two circular display areas saved in the terminal can be referred to as the inner display area and the outer display area, respectively. The center positions of the inner display area and the outer display area can be the same. The large circle radius of the inner display area is not larger than the outer display area. The small circle radius of the display area.

When the terminal displays the icon of the background application, it can be displayed randomly in the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area. In order to make the displayed icons more regular, it can be displayed in a ring display area first. The circular display area cannot display all the background application icons, and then display it in another circular display area.

For example, it can be displayed in the inner ring display area first. If the inner ring display area cannot display all the icons of the background application, the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area can display the icons of the background application at the same time.

Specifically, the terminal may first determine whether the second number of background applications to be displayed is greater than the third number of icons that can be displayed in the inner ring display area;

If the second number is not greater than the third number of icons that can be displayed in the inner ring display area, the inner ring display area can display all the icons of the background application, and then the second number of background application icons are displayed in the inner ring display area. Icon, that is, the inner ring display area is used as the target ring display area.

If the second number is greater than the third number of icons that can be displayed in the inner ring display area, the inner ring display area cannot display all the icons of the background application, and the first ring number is displayed in the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area. The second number of background application icons, that is, the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area are used as the target ring display area.

In order to make the background application icons displayed more regular, the terminal can save the priority of each placement and the priority of each background application, determine the placement corresponding to each first background application, and determine the first The placement corresponding to the background app is called the target placement.

The relationship between the first background application and the target placement is: The higher the priority of the first background application, the higher the priority of its corresponding target placement.

When determining the target placement corresponding to each first background application according to the priority of the first background application and the priority of each placement in the target circular display area, it may be the first A background application, if it is, select the first background application with the highest priority among the first background applications for which the placement is not determined. Identify the placement of the first background application that has not been identified, select the placement with the highest priority among them, and use the selected placement with the highest priority as the target placement of the selected background application with the highest priority, until There are first background applications for which no placement is determined, that is, all the first background applications have determined their corresponding target placements.

After the target placement corresponding to each first background application is determined, for each first background application, according to the determined target placement corresponding to the first background application, display on the corresponding target placement The background app icon.

Each placement in the inner display area may have a higher priority than each placement in the outer display area. The priority trend of the placements in the inner ring display area can be different from the priority trend of the placements in the outer ring display area. The lower ones can be the same. For example, in a clockwise direction, the placements in the inner ring display area From high to low, as well as from high to low in the outer display area.

After determining the second background application that is not displayed, the terminal may hide the icon of the second background application that is not displayed.

In order to display the undisplayed icons conveniently and quickly, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may store at least one hidden area, and the terminal may hide the icons in the hidden area. The area set as the hidden icon is called the target hidden area. The terminal determines the corresponding hidden position of the icon of the second background application in the target hidden area, and hides the icon of the second background application at the corresponding hidden position.

Each hidden area saved by the terminal includes a circular hidden area, and the number of circular hidden areas included in each hidden area is the same as the number of circular display areas contained in the target circular display area. For each hidden area, the terminal can save parameters such as the center angle, the center position, the large circle radius, and the small circle radius of at least one annular hidden area contained therein. Each ring-shaped hidden area can be a 1/4 ring, that is, the center angle is 90 degrees. More preferably, each ring-shaped hidden area can be a half ring, that is, the center angle is 180 degrees. The position of the center of each annular hidden area can be preset by the system. The center angle and the center position of each annular hidden area may be the same or different.

Example 7:

In order to quickly display the icons of the background applications that are not displayed, and regularly display the icons of the background applications that are not displayed, on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in one of the optional embodiments of the present invention, the determining Before the icon of the second background application is in a corresponding hidden position in the target hidden area, the method further includes:

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the number of icons that can be hidden in each hidden area stored in the terminal is limited, and the number of icons that can be hidden in each hidden area can be referred to as a fourth number. The number of icons that can be hidden in each hidden area can be the same or different. The terminal can select any hidden area as the target hidden area to hide the icons of the second background application that are not displayed, as long as the target hidden area can hide all the first Second, the icon of the background application is sufficient.

In order to regularly display the icons of the background applications that are not displayed, the terminal may save the priority of each hidden area. When determining the target hidden area, it may be determined according to the priority of each hidden area. The number of the second background applications may be identified first, and the number of the second background applications is referred to as a fifth number. According to the priority of each hidden area saved in advance, in the order of priority from high to low, each hidden area is selected as a candidate area in order:

If the sum of the fourth number is not less than the fifth number, the candidate region and each hidden region having a higher priority than the candidate region are used as target hidden regions.

After the target hidden area is determined, the icon of each second background application can be hidden in the target hidden area.

When the icon of each second background application is hidden, the corresponding hidden position of the icon of each second background application may be determined, and the icon of the second background application may be hidden at the determined corresponding hidden position. When determining the corresponding hidden position for each icon of the second background application, it may be determined arbitrarily according to the hidden position in the target hidden area.

Example 8:

In order to regularly display the icons of the background applications that are not displayed, based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, if the target circular display area includes at least two circular display areas, the determining The corresponding hidden position of the icon of the second background application in the target hidden area includes:

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the terminal stores the priority of each hidden area, that is, the priority of each target hidden area. Each hidden area in the terminal has its corresponding angle range, such as 180-360 degrees, or 360-540 degrees, etc. The terminal can divide each target hidden area into multiple target hidden areas according to a preset angle range. For each sub-area, at least one hidden location included in each sub-area is used as a hidden location group. The terminal may also save the priority of each hidden location group.

Suppose that the hidden area with an angle range of 180-360 degrees is divided into three sub-areas. The angle range corresponding to the first sub-area is 180-240 degrees, and the angle range corresponding to the second sub-area is 240-300 degrees. The corresponding angle range of the three sub-regions is 300-360 degrees. After the angle range of each hidden position group in the terminal is determined, the angle corresponding to each hidden position in the hidden position group can also be determined. When the terminal divides the hidden area into at least two sub-areas according to a preset angle range, the terminal may divide according to the angle range of each hidden position to ensure as much as possible the number of hidden positions included in each hidden position group.

After the terminal determines each hidden position group in each target circular display area, it can know the number of icons that can be hidden in each hidden position group. The number of icons that can be hidden in each hidden position group is called The sixth number. The number of icons that can be hidden in each hidden position group can be the same or different.

The terminal may determine the icon of each second background application according to the priority of each target hidden area, the priority of each hidden location group in the target hidden area, and the priority of each hidden location in the hidden location group. The corresponding hidden position.

Specifically, the terminal may sequentially target the priority of each hidden position group according to the priority of each target hidden area saved in advance and the priority of each hidden position group in each target hidden area. Each hidden location group performs the following steps:

First, the terminal determines whether there is a second background application whose hidden position is not determined;

If it exists, determine the corresponding hidden position for the second background application whose hidden position has not been determined. The terminal can determine the sixth number of icons that can be hidden in the hidden position group, and each second background application whose hidden position is not determined. Priority, select the target second background application in each second background application whose hidden position is not determined. Specifically, it may be determined whether the number of second background applications whose hidden position is not determined is greater than the sixth number of icons that can be hidden in the hidden position group. If not, each second background application whose hidden position is not determined is determined. Both are used as the target second background application. If it is larger, a sixth background application with a higher priority is selected as the target second background application from the second background applications that have not determined the hidden position.

After the terminal selects the target second background application, the terminal can determine the hidden position corresponding to each target second background application according to each hidden position in the hidden position group. When determining the hidden position corresponding to each target second background application, it can be determined arbitrarily according to each hidden position.

In order that the icons of the second background application that are not shown can be displayed regularly, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may also save the priority of each hidden location in the hidden location group, and The hidden position corresponding to each target second background application may be determined according to the priority of each target second background application and the priority of each hidden position in the hidden position group.

The relationship between the target second background application and the corresponding hidden location in the hidden location group is: the higher the priority of the target second background application, the higher the priority of the hidden location in the corresponding hidden location group.

The process of determining the hidden position in the hidden position corresponding to each target second background application is determined according to the priority of the first background application and the priority of each placement in the target circular display area in the foregoing embodiment. The process of the target display position corresponding to each first background application is similar, and will not be described in detail in one of the optional embodiments of the present invention.

When the user rotates the target circular display area, the terminal can receive the rotation operation on the target circular display area. After receiving the rotation operation on the target circular display area, the terminal can determine the rotation angle and rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation. . The terminal can identify the start position and end position corresponding to the rotation operation, and determine the rotation direction according to the start position and end position. The rotation direction can be understood as a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The terminal determines the start position and end of the rotation operation. The process of determining the rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation is a well-known technique for those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail in one of the optional embodiments of the present invention. When the terminal determines the rotation angle corresponding to the rotation operation, it may be determined according to the start position, the end position corresponding to the rotation operation, and the center position of the target circular display area. The connection between the start position and the center position may be called the first connection The connection between the end position and the center of the circle is called a second connection. The angle between the first connection line and the second connection line is the rotation angle corresponding to the rotation operation.

The terminal stores the angle corresponding to the icon of each background application. The terminal can determine the angle range formed by the icon of the background application currently displayed in the target circular display area according to the angle corresponding to the icon of each background application that is saved in advance. The background application displayed is called the third background application. If the user rotates the target circular display area for the first time, the third background application may only include the first background application. If the user does not rotate the target circular display area for the first time, Operation, the third background application may include only the second background application, or may include both the first background application and the second background application.

The angle range formed by the icon of the third background application currently displayed in the target circular display area is referred to as a first angle range.

After the terminal determines the first angle range, the rotation direction, and the rotation angle, the terminal can determine the second angle range to be displayed. Specifically, it can first determine whether the first angle range is based on whether the rotation direction is counterclockwise or clockwise. Whether to increase or decrease the upper and lower thresholds, for example, it can be saved in advance that the clockwise direction is increased and the counterclockwise direction is decreased.

If the current direction of rotation indicates that the upper and lower thresholds of the first angular range are increased, the upper and lower thresholds of the first angular range may be increased by the rotation angle to obtain a new upper and lower threshold, and the angular range formed by the new upper and lower thresholds may be determined. Is the second angle range to be shown.

If the current direction of rotation instruction decreases the upper and lower thresholds of the first angle range, the upper and lower thresholds of the first angle range may be reduced by the rotation angle to obtain a new upper and lower threshold, and the angle range formed by the new upper and lower thresholds may be determined. Is the second angle range to be shown.

After the second angle range is determined, the icon of each fourth background application located in the second angle range can be identified according to the angle corresponding to the icon of each background application saved in advance; that is, the to-be-displayed The fourth background application icon.

After the icons of the fourth background applications to be displayed are determined, the icons of each third background application currently displayed can be updated according to the icons of each fourth background application.

The icon of the fourth background application can be arbitrarily displayed in the target circular display area. Preferably, it can be according to the angle corresponding to each icon of the fourth background application, from small to large according to the angle, or from large to small. Each placement in the circular display area is displayed in order.

In order to ensure that when the terminal is rotated, the terminal displays the icons of each background application according to the priority, the corresponding relationship between the angle and the priority of each position stored in the terminal in advance may be: the larger the angle corresponding to the icon, the more the icon corresponds The greater the priority of the background application, or the larger the angle corresponding to the icon, the smaller the priority of the background application corresponding to the icon.

When determining the icon of the fourth background application to be displayed, it can be considered whether all of the hidden position groups can be displayed. The icon is displayed. If not, the second angle range to be displayed can be updated. Specifically, it can be determined whether there is a target hidden position group that does not completely overlap the second angle range according to the angle range corresponding to each hidden position group. ; If it exists, the terminal determines a target hidden position group that does not completely overlap with the second angle range, and then updates the second angle range according to the angle range corresponding to the target hidden position group, where there is no second angle after the update For the target hidden position group whose ranges do not completely overlap, the interval difference value of the updated second angle range is the same as the interval difference value of the second angle range that is not updated.

It is assumed that the second angle range is 170-350 degrees, and the angle range where a certain hidden position group exists is 300-360 degrees, 300-360. There is an overlap between the degree and 70-350 degrees, and it does not completely overlap, then the hidden position group corresponding to the 300-360 degree is called the target hidden position group. After updating for the second angle range of 170-350 degrees, the second angle range can be updated to 180-360 degrees.

As shown in FIG. 2, the inner ring display area of the solid line portion includes 5 placement locations, and the outer ring display area includes 9 placement locations. It can be understood that the larger the number, the lower the priority of the corresponding background application. When receiving a display request for a background application, in the order of the background application's priority from highest to lowest, the inner ring display area displays the five first background application icons ranked 1-5, and the outer ring display area displays the sort 9 first icons of background apps in 6-15. The hidden area in the dashed line can hide the icons of the second background application with a priority order of 15 and later. The number of circular hidden areas included in each hidden area is two, which is the same as the number of circular display areas included in the target circular display area. The hidden area is divided into at least two hidden position groups according to a preset angle. The hidden positions at 15, 16, and 17 in FIG. 2 form a hidden position group, and the hidden positions at 18, 19, and 20 form a hidden position group. The hidden locations where 21, 22 are located form a hidden location group, the hidden locations where 23, 24, 25 are located constitute a hidden location group, and the hidden locations where 26, 27, 28 are located constitute a hidden location group. The hidden position in each hidden position group has its corresponding priority. For each hidden position group, the priority of the hidden area of the inner ring is greater than the priority of the hidden area of the outer ring.
