Method and equipment for deleting application in background

This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application filed on August 2, 2018 with the Chinese Patent Office, application number 201810871999.5, and the invention name "A Method and Device for Deleting Applications in the Background", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. In this application.

Technical field

The present invention relates to the technical field of terminals, and in particular, to a method and device for deleting applications in the background.

Background technique

At this stage, all terminals have background management functions for managing used applications. However, when there are many applications managed in the background management, the memory of the terminal will be affected, and the terminal will become stuck. You need to delete the application from the background management.

Taking the terminal as a mobile phone as an example, whenever a user opens an application software, it will be stored in the background management function according to the order in which the application software is opened. When the application in the background management function needs to be deleted, the current interface of the application software will be manually displayed on the page of the mobile phone in a stacking manner (horizontal stacking or vertical stacking). The user deletes the application software in the background through the interface of the application software sliding up or down or left and right, and the deletion method is relatively simple.

In summary, in the prior art, when deleting an application in the background, sliding deletion in a fixed direction is not flexible and convenient.

Summary of the invention

The invention provides a method and a device for deleting an application in the background, which is used to solve the problem that when deleting an application in the background, sliding in a fixed direction is not flexible and convenient.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for deleting an application in the background, and the method includes:

After receiving the background display instruction, the corresponding icon in the background is displayed in the display area;

If the icon corresponding to the application is moved to the deletion area, the application corresponding to the icon in the background is deleted.

In the above method, after receiving the background display instruction, the corresponding icon in the background is displayed in the display area. If the icon corresponding to the application is moved to the delete area, the application and icon corresponding to the icon are deleted. The icon corresponding to the application moves to the deletion area. There is no fixed movement method during the movement. The user can move freely. As long as he moves to the deletion area, the icon and the application corresponding to the icon can be deleted. The movement process is relatively random. The movement direction is more flexible and more convenient for users to operate.

In a possible implementation manner, if the icon corresponding to the application is moved to the deletion area and a delete instruction is received, the application corresponding to the icon in the background is deleted.

In the foregoing method, the application corresponding to the icon is deleted in the background only after receiving the delete instruction in the delete area.

In a possible implementation manner, when the icon corresponding to the application in the background is displayed in the display area, the icon corresponding to the application in the background is displayed in the display area in the form of at least one queue.

In the above method, the icons are displayed in the display area in the form of a queue, and there is no stacking. It is convenient for users to observe the multiple applications that are opened. When they need to be deleted, the applications that need to be deleted can be more intuitively determined, and no sliding search is required. ,Convenient.

In a possible implementation manner, after the application corresponding to the icon in the background is deleted, the icon in the queue where the deleted icon is located is moved forward by one position.

In the above method, after deleting the application corresponding to the icon, the icon corresponding to the deleted application is also deleted. At this time, in the queue corresponding to the deleted icon, the icon located behind the deleted icon will move forward by one position on the display. After deleting one of his icons in each group of queues in the area, the hidden icon in the queue will be displayed at the bottom of the display area. During the deletion process, the icons will continuously fill the position of the display area until it is not deleted. After the hidden icons are displayed, the positions in each group of queues in the entire area will be vacated, so that when users delete applications in the background, there will be no omissions. At the same time, they are displayed in the queue mode, which is convenient for users to observe. operating.

In a possible implementation manner, after the application corresponding to the icon in the background is deleted, if there are at least two sets of queues, the icon in the queue where the deleted icon is located is moved forward by one position, and according to The order of the queues moves the icons in the queue behind the queue where the deleted icon is located forward by one;

Among them, the icon at the head of the queue moves forward by one position and the icon is at the end of the previous queue.

In the above method, after the application corresponding to the icon is deleted, the icon behind the deleted icon in the queue where the icon corresponding to the deleted application is moved forward by one position, and according to the order of the queue, and is located in the deleted The icon in the queue behind the queue where the icon is located will also move forward by one position to the end of the queue where the deleted icon is located. After the icon is deleted, the icon behind the deleted icon is deleted. It will move one position forward, and the icon in the queue behind the queue corresponding to the deleted icon will also move forward one position, and the icon cannot be displayed.

In a possible implementation manner, the shape of the at least one group of queues includes a polygon and / or a sector.

The above method clearly specifies the shape of the queue, so that the user can operate the icon more conveniently and quickly.

In a possible implementation manner, after the icon corresponding to the application is moved to the delete area, if the icon is moved out of the delete area and a restore instruction is received, the icon is restored to the target position in the display area;

The target position is a position in the display area before the icon moves to the deletion area.

In the above method, before the icon is moved out of the display area, but before it is deleted, when the restoration instruction is received, the icon moved out of the display area will return to the position in the display area before the movement, which is convenient for users to observe and determine the icon to be deleted and the icon. Corresponding application.

detailed description

The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings. The specific operation method in the method embodiment can also be applied to the device embodiment or the system embodiment. Among them, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

Existing electronic products, such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers, have many application software installed. After using the application software, the running programs of the used application software will be stored in the background correspondingly, and the background software will be displayed in a stack. When deleting, you can only delete by sliding in the horizontal or vertical direction. Sliding deletion in a fixed direction is not flexible and convenient. Therefore, the present invention provides a drag-and-drop deletion method. When deleting, you can drag in any way. The designated area can be deleted, making the deletion operation more convenient.

The business scenario described in the embodiment of the present invention is to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art may know that with the new service scenario, It appears that the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are also applicable to similar technical problems.

For the above application scenario, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for deleting an application in the background. As shown in FIG. 1, the method specifically includes the following steps:

Step 100: After receiving the background display instruction, display the corresponding icon in the background in the display area;

Step 101: If the icon corresponding to the application is moved to the deletion area, delete the application corresponding to the icon in the background.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving a background display instruction, the corresponding icon of the application in the background is displayed in the display area. If the icon corresponding to the application is moved to the delete area, the application and icon corresponding to the icon are deleted. The icon corresponding to the application to be deleted is moved to the deletion area. There is no fixed movement method during the movement. The user can move at will. As long as he moves to the deletion area, the icon and the application corresponding to the icon can be deleted. It is more casual, and the movement direction is more flexible, which is more convenient for users to operate.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the icon corresponding to the application is moved to the deletion area and a delete instruction is received, the application corresponding to the icon in the background is deleted.

Specifically, after the icon is moved to the delete area and a delete instruction is triggered in the delete area, the application corresponding to the icon can be deleted in the background.

The delete instruction refers to performing a release operation on the icon corresponding to the application in the delete area. When the user moves the icon from the display area to the delete area and releases the handle, the delete instruction is triggered, and the icon will be deleted at this time. And the application corresponding to the icon; if the icon is moved to the deletion area without letting go, the icon in the deletion area will not be deleted.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when an icon corresponding to an application in the background is displayed in the display area, the icon corresponding to the application in the background is displayed in the display area in the form of at least one group of queues. The shape includes a polygon and / or a sector.

Specifically, the polygon may be a triangle, a rectangle, a square, or a multi-sided irregular figure. As shown in FIG. 2, this is a display mode of an icon corresponding to an application in the background when the shape of the queue is rectangular according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the circular position represents the icon; in FIG. 2, there is a rectangle, the A rectangle corresponds to a group of queues, and an icon corresponding to the application is displayed in the queue corresponding to the rectangle.

The fan shape may be a full circle, a semicircle, a part of a circle, and the like. As shown in FIG. 3, this is a display manner of an icon corresponding to an application in the background when the shape of the queue is a semicircle according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, there is a semicircle corresponding to the semicircle. There is a set of queues, and the corresponding icon of the application is displayed in the queue corresponding to the semicircle.

In the embodiment of the present invention, multiple groups of queues may also be used to display the icons corresponding to the application. When there are multiple groups of queues, the icons on the queues are displayed separately in different queues, as shown in FIG. There are two semicircles in 4, each semicircle corresponds to a set of queues.

It should be noted that the display manners of the queues described above are merely examples, and there are many forms of display of queues in the embodiment of the present invention, which will not be described one by one here.

The display area is mainly an area occupied by icons, and may be in any area of the interface; the deletion area is all or part of the area except the display area, and the deletion area may be set in advance or may be It is determined at the time of use according to the user's instructions.

Specifically, when the deletion area is set to all areas except the display area, as shown in FIG. 5, the area within the circle area in FIG. 5 is the display area, and the remaining areas are the deletion areas. When the user wants to delete an application The corresponding icon has entered the delete area when it is moved out of the display area. At this time, after the user issues a delete command for the removed icon, the removed icon will be deleted;

When the deletion area is set to be a part of the area other than the display area, as shown in FIG. 6, the area inside the circle area in FIG. 6 is the display area, and the position with the fill mark in FIG. 6 is the deletion area, which can be set during the setting. One deletion area 1, multiple deletion areas 1, deletion area 2, deletion area 3, etc. can also be set. When only one deletion area is set, the user must move the icon corresponding to the application to be deleted into the specified deletion area. After receiving the delete instruction in the designated delete area, the application corresponding to the icon and the icon can be deleted. When multiple deletion areas are set, the user moves the icon corresponding to the application to be deleted to any one of the deletion areas and can delete it after receiving the deletion instruction.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the deletion area is set according to a user's instruction, the user needs to first remove the icon corresponding to the application to be deleted from the display area. After staying outside the display area for a certain period of time, then Set the deletion area to be a deletion area within a certain range around the staying position. As shown in FIG. 7, move the icon A corresponding to the application A to any position outside the display area, and stay at that position. The surrounding area at the position generates a deletion area.

In implementation, the icon queue may be arranged on the interface of the terminal in any form, which is convenient for users to observe and make corresponding deletion operations on the icons.

Specifically, when the user opens the application, the application will run in the background. When the application is displayed, the icon corresponding to the application will be displayed. At this time, the icon corresponding to the application will be displayed in a queue, and there will be no stacking status. The shape is an example of a semicircular shape, as shown in FIG. 3, which is a display mode of an icon corresponding to an application in the background. The icons are displayed individually in a group of queues without overlapping.

The icon may be a group of queues or multiple groups of queues displayed on the display area when displayed. The queue of icons is used as a semicircle for illustration.

When the icons are displayed in the display area as a group of queues, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a semicircle, which corresponds to a group of queues, and the corresponding icons of 7 applications in the background are displayed in the queue. The order of the icons can be determined according to the order in which the application software is opened by the user. For example, the order in which the user opens the application software is WeChat, Alipay, and calculator. When the icon is displayed, WeChat corresponds to Alipay before the icon corresponding to the calculator is in Alipay After that, it can also be displayed as the icon corresponding to WeChat after Alipay, and the icon corresponding to the calculator before Alipay, the specific settings are determined by the terminal internal program; or

When the icon is displayed in the display area in multiple groups of queues, as shown in FIG. 4, there are two semicircles, each semicircle corresponds to a group of queues, and the queue corresponding to the outer ring displays 10 background applications , The corresponding queue in the inner ring shows 7 background applications. The icon queue can be classified according to the software commonly used by the user and the software that is not commonly used. For example, the software commonly used by the user includes telephone, information, WeChat, and Alipay. The icon corresponding to the phone is displayed in the queue corresponding to the commonly used software category, and the icon corresponding to the recorder is displayed in the queue corresponding to the less commonly used software when using the recorder;

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the icon is displayed in the display area in multiple groups of queues, the division of each group of queues can also be divided according to the type of application software, or each group of queues has a set number. After reaching the set number, the following icons will automatically be queued to another group of queues. There are many ways to implement queue grouping, and no more examples are given here.

In the implementation, the icons are displayed in the display area in the form of a queue, and there is no stacking. It is convenient for users to observe the multiple applications that are opened. When they need to be deleted, they can more intuitively determine the applications that need to be deleted without sliding Find it fast and easy.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when a user opens an application interface in the background, when an application corresponding to an icon and the icon are deleted, if a restoration instruction is received in the deletion area, the icon in the deletion area is restored. To the target position in the display area; if a delete instruction is received in the delete area, the application corresponding to the icon and the icon are deleted, and after the icon is deleted, the remaining icons in the display interface are organized.

Specifically, when a user deletes an application, two conditions must be met at the same time. The first condition is that the icon corresponding to the application to be deleted is moved to the delete area, and the second condition is that the delete instruction is received in the delete area. The application corresponding to the icon is deleted. If a restoration instruction is received before the deletion, the icon corresponding to the application to be deleted is restored to a target position in the display area.

After the icon corresponding to the application is moved to the deletion area in the embodiment of the present invention, if the icon is moved out of the deletion area and a restoration instruction is received, the icon is restored to a target position in the display area;

The target position is a position in the display area before the icon moves to a deletion area.

Specifically, if the user moves the icon corresponding to the application to be deleted out of the display area, but does not move to the deletion area, the icon and the application corresponding to the icon will not be deleted even if the user releases his hand; or the user needs to delete the icon The icon completely moved out of the display area, but only moved out of the target position. At this time, when the user releases his hand, the icon and the application corresponding to the icon will not be deleted; or the user triggers a restore instruction on the icon corresponding to the application in the deleted area, then The icon corresponding to the application will move out of the delete area and back to the target position in the display area.

Specifically, after the user completely releases the icon corresponding to the application from the deletion area, it is determined that the user has triggered a recovery instruction, and the icon corresponding to the application is moved back to the target position in the display area.

If the deletion area is all areas except the display area, the icon needs to be moved back to the display area;

As shown in FIG. 5, the deletion area is all areas except the display area. At this time, the icon is moved out of the display area, but it does not stop moving. After returning to the display area and letting go, it is determined that a recovery instruction is received. The icon will automatically move back to where it was before moving. As shown in FIG. 8, after moving the icon B out of the display area in a straight line direction without letting go, and then moving it back to the display area along the curve area, the icon B will automatically return to the position shown by the dotted line.

If the deletion area is a part of the area other than the display area, releasing the icon after removing the icon from the deletion area triggers a recovery instruction, and there is no need to move to the display area.

As shown in FIG. 6, the deletion area is a part of the area outside the display area. At this time, the user moves the icon into the deletion area, but moves out of the deletion area without letting go. At this time, the icon corresponding to the application will automatically return to the display area. Position before moving in. As shown in FIG. 9, the icon A is moved to the deletion area 1 in a straight line direction, but there is no release instruction without triggering, but the icon A is continuously moved out of the deletion area 1 in the curve direction, which is neither a display area in FIG. 9. If you release your hand at the location of the delete area, make sure that you receive the restore instruction. At this time, icon A will move back to the position shown by the dotted line in the display area.

In the implementation, before the icon is moved out of the display area, but before it is deleted, when the restoration instruction is received, the icon moved out of the display area will return to the position in the display area before moving, which is convenient for users to observe and determine the icon to be deleted and the The application corresponding to the icon.

After the icons corresponding to the application are deleted in the embodiment of the present invention, when the remaining charts in the display area are arranged, the setting of the positions of the icons that are not deleted is related to the connection manner of each group of icon queues in the display area. The following methods exist:

Method 1: Each group of icon queues is displayed separately without interference. When deleting, after deleting the application corresponding to the icon in the background, the icon corresponding to the deleted application is located behind the deleted icon. The icon moves forward one position.

Specifically, the icons are arranged in the form of a queue in the display area. When there is at least one group of queues in the display area and each group of queues is not connected, when the icon is deleted on each group of queues, each group of queues is located in The icon behind the deleted icon moves forward by one position.

Take two groups of queues in the display area as an example. As shown in Figure 4, the inner ring queue can display 7 icons, and the outer ring queue can display 10 icons.

When the icon A corresponding to the A application in the outer ring queue moves out of the display area in an arbitrary direction, the position corresponding to the icon A will show an unoccupied state as shown by the dotted line state in FIG. 10;

After moving to the delete area, after receiving the instruction to delete icon A, the application corresponding to icon A is deleted, and icon A is also deleted at this time; after icon A is deleted, icon B, icon C, Both icon E and icon F move forward by one position, that is, the position occupied by icon A before deletion is occupied by icon B, the position before icon B is icon C, and the position before icon E is occupied by icon F, as shown in FIG. 11 If there are only 10 icons currently displayed in the outer ring queue, after deleting icon A, and each icon is moved by one position, the position corresponding to icon K shown in Figure 11 will be vacated. There are hidden icons in the ring queue, that is, when the number of icons is greater than 10, the icon K is displayed at the bottom of the outer ring.

When the icon G corresponding to the G in the inner ring queue is moved out of the display area in an arbitrary direction, the position corresponding to the icon G will show a state not occupied by the icon, as shown by the dashed state in FIG. 10;

After moving the icon G to the delete area and receiving the instruction to delete the icon G, the application corresponding to the icon G is deleted, and the icon G is also deleted at this time; after the icon G is deleted, it is the icon E, Icons such as icon F move forward by one position, that is, icon E moves forward by one position, and the position before icon E moves is occupied by icon F after moving, as shown in FIG. 11. Similarly, if there are hidden icons in the inner queue and the number of icons in the inner queue is greater than 7, the icon will be displayed at the bottom of the inner queue. If the number of inner icons is less than or equal to 7, the last position of the inner ring queue for displaying the icon is vacated.

In implementation, after deleting the application corresponding to the icon, the icon corresponding to the deleted application is also deleted. At this time, in the queue corresponding to the deleted icon, the icon behind the deleted icon will move forward by one position. After deleting one of his icons in each group of queues in the display area, the hidden icons in the queue will be displayed at the bottom of the display area. During the deletion process, the icons will continuously fill the position of the display area until there is no more After the hidden icons are displayed, the positions in each group of queues in the entire area will be vacated, so that users will not omit when deleting applications in the background, and display the queues at the same time, which is convenient for users. Observe the operation.

Method 2: After the application corresponding to the icon in the background and the icon displayed are deleted, if there are at least two groups of queues, the icon in the queue where the deleted icon is located is moved forward Move a position, and sequentially move the icons in the queue behind the queue where the deleted icon is located forward according to the order of the queue;

Specifically, when there are at least two sets of queues in the display area, when the inner ring icon is deleted, the icon position in the inner ring queue that is behind the deleted icon is moved forward by one step, and the outer ring queue is in the first place. The reference icon moves to the end of the inner ring queue for display.

As shown in Figure 12, there are two sets of queues in the display area. The queue corresponding to the inner ring can display 7 icons, and the queue corresponding to the outer ring can display 10 icons. Assuming that there are 7 icons in the queue corresponding to the inner ring, 7 All icons are displayed in the inner ring queue. When the icon H in the inner ring queue is moved out of the display area in any direction, the corresponding position of the icon H will be displayed as unoccupied;

After moving the delete area and receiving the instruction to delete the icon H, the application corresponding to the icon H will be deleted and the icon H will also be deleted. After the icon H is deleted, the icon in the inner queue next to the icon H will be deleted. Move one position forward, at this time, there will be 6 icons remaining in the inner ring queue, and the position of the last icon on the inner ring will be occupied by the first icon A in the outer ring queue, as shown in FIG. 13, at this time in the outer ring queue The icon also moves forward by one position. In the final display area, icon G occupies the position where icon H is not deleted, icon N occupies the position before icon M, icon A occupies the position before icon N, and icon B Occupy the position before icon A, icon C occupy the position before icon B, icon F occupy the position before icon, and if there is a hidden icon in the outer queue at this time, the position before icon F will be taken by the icon Occupied by K, if there is no hidden icon, the position before the icon F will be vacated.

It should be noted that if there are more than 7 icons in the inner ring queue, after deleting icon H, icon A will still move to the end of the inner ring queue, but it is hidden. At this time, the The first position is still occupied by B.

It should be noted that if the user does not let go, he can drag the icon all the time to move. When dragging to the delete area, the application corresponding to the icon and the icon are deleted; when dragging to the area outside the delete area, let go , The icon returns to the target position in the display area.

In implementation, after the application corresponding to the icon is deleted, the icon behind the deleted icon in the queue where the icon corresponding to the deleted application is moved forward by one position, and according to the order of the queue, and is located in the deleted The icon in the queue behind the queue where the icon is located also moves forward by one position to the end of the queue where the deleted icon is located. After the icon is deleted, the process of deleting the icon is located behind the deleted icon. The icon will move forward by one position, and the icon in the queue behind the queue corresponding to the deleted icon will also move forward by one position, and the icon cannot be displayed.

When the application icon is deleted in the embodiment of the present invention, when any one of the icons in the display area is moved out of the display area or completely leaves the original position, the position at the last position during the movement process can be deleted by receiving a delete instruction, and the icon can be deleted The corresponding application and the icon do not need to set a delete area at this time. The icon can be deleted as long as it moves out of the display area and receives the delete instruction, making the deletion more convenient and the deletion process more convenient and quick.

Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a device for deleting an application in the background, because the device corresponds to a device corresponding to the method for deleting an application in the background according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the principle of the device to solve the problem Similar to this method, the implementation of the device can refer to the implementation of the method.
