The category of the application selected by the user is referred to as the target category of the application. The terminal receives a selection operation on the target category of the application. At least one target category is saved as a category of a preset application.

Example 3:

In order to show more applications, and to show different types of applications separately, based on the above embodiments, in the embodiment of the present invention, the multi-tasking management interface is used to display at least one type of application set in advance. The information includes:

In the embodiment of the present invention, for a category of each application preset by the user, the terminal may save a display area for displaying applications of that category, and the display area may be a circular display area. In order to distinguish and display information of applications of different categories, the terminal may save a corresponding circular display area for each application category, that is, save a correspondence between the category of each application and the circular display area. Different application categories have different circular display areas. When the terminal saves the circular display area, it may specifically save parameters such as the center angle, the center position, the large circle radius, and the small circle radius of the circular display area.

When the terminal saves the preset circular display area corresponding to each category, the terminal may have saved the preset circular display area corresponding to each category. When the user selects a certain category, the preset circular display area corresponding to the category is saved. The area is the saved circular display area. It is also possible that the terminal stores the order of the circular display area, and determines the circular display area corresponding to the category selected by the user for saving according to the selection order of the user when selecting the category of the application.

When the terminal displays information of at least one category of applications that are set in advance, the terminal may display the corresponding categories in the corresponding circular display area in the multitasking management interface according to the corresponding relationship between the category of each application and the circular display area that is stored in advance Application information. When displaying the information of the application in the circular display area, the icon may be specifically displayed. That is, for at least one category set in advance, the terminal displays an icon of an application of the category in a circular display area corresponding to the category that is saved in advance.

The number of circular display areas stored in the terminal may be two, as shown in FIG. 2, the two circular display areas are an inner ring display area and an outer ring display area, and the center angles of the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area are respectively Same as the circle center position, the radius of the large circle in the inner ring display area is not greater than the radius of the small circle in the outer ring display area. Users can choose to display commonly used applications and background applications in two circular display areas.

Example 4:

In order to make the applications of each category displayed more meet the needs of users, based on the above embodiments, in the embodiment of the present invention, the icons of the applications of the corresponding category are displayed in the corresponding circular display area in the multi-tasking management interface. Before, the device further included:

In the 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 can be displayed in a circular display area with a small radius. Fewer icons are shown.

The terminal stores the number of icons that can be displayed in each circular display area, and stores a category corresponding to each circular display area. For each circular display area, the terminal may select a corresponding number of applications for display in the applications of the corresponding category according to the category corresponding to the circular display area and the number of icons that can be displayed in the circular display area. The application to be displayed is called a first application, and the number of the first applications is not greater than the number of icons that can be displayed in the circular display area.

When the terminal selects the first application, it can be arbitrarily selected among the applications in this category. In order to make the applications in this category displayed more meet the needs of the user, the terminal can also save the priority corresponding to each application in this category. The number of icons that can be displayed in the ring-shaped display area and the priority of the applications in the category are determined in advance, and the first application in the category to be displayed is determined. Specifically, the applications in this category can be sorted in order of priority. From the sorted applications in this category, the applications that are not larger than the number of circular display areas corresponding to the category are selected as the category for display. First application.

For each category, after selecting the first application to be displayed in the category, the icon of the first application in the category can be displayed in the circular display area corresponding to the category in the multitasking management interface.

Displaying the icon of the application can not only display multiple applications, make it easier for users to view the application, but also display the icon of the application to prevent the user's privacy from being leaked.

Example 5:

When there are many applications, the icons of some applications may not be displayed. In order to make the icons of the applications displayed more regular, based on the foregoing embodiments, in the embodiments of the present invention, the device further includes :

If yes, determine the target corresponding to each second application of the category according to the priority of each second application of the category that is saved in advance and the priority of each hidden position in the circular hidden area corresponding to the category In the hidden position, the icon of the second application in the category is hidden on the target hidden position. The higher the priority of the second application in the category, the higher the priority of the corresponding target hidden position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of icons that can be displayed in each circular display area in the terminal is limited. When the number of applications of a category corresponding to a certain circular display area is large, there will be some applications in this category of applications. The icon cannot be displayed. The application that is not shown is called the second application. The terminal may first determine whether there is a second application that is not displayed in the applications of this category for each application category, and if so, determine the second application in the applications of this category, that is, the application in this category is divided by the first. The application outside one application is a second application that is not shown. After the terminal determines the second application that is not displayed in the category, the terminal may hide the icon of the second application that is not displayed.

In order to display the undisplayed icons conveniently and quickly, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may save at least one circular hidden area for each circular display area, and the terminal may hide the icons in the circular hidden area.

The terminal can save each hidden position in each circular hidden area in advance. For the category of each application, when the icon of the second application of the category is hidden in the circular hidden area corresponding to the category, the terminal can Each hidden position in the circular hidden area corresponding to this category is arbitrarily hidden.

In order to make the hidden icons more regular when displayed, the terminal may save the priority of each second application of the category and the priority of each hidden position in the circular hidden area corresponding to the category. When the hidden position corresponding to each second application of the category is determined according to the priority of each second application of the category saved in advance and the priority of each hidden position in the circular hidden area corresponding to the category, The hidden position corresponding to each second application of the category is referred to as the target hidden position. After the target hidden position corresponding to each second application of the category is determined, the icon of the second application of the category can be hidden on the corresponding target hidden position.

The relationship between the second application in this category and the target hidden position is: the higher the priority of the second application, the higher the priority of the corresponding target hidden position.

For a certain application category, when determining the target hidden position corresponding to each second application according to the priority of the second application and the priority of each hidden position in the ring-shaped hidden area, it may be judged whether there is an undetermined The second application in the hidden position, if it is, select the second application with the highest priority among the second applications in which the hidden position is not determined. Identify the hidden position of the corresponding second application that has not been determined, select the hidden position with the highest priority among them, and use the selected hidden position with the highest priority as the target hidden position of the selected second application with the highest priority until no unseen The second application that determines the hidden position, that is, all the second applications determine their corresponding target hidden positions.

In each of the foregoing embodiments, the terminal determines, for each type of application, a display position corresponding to the icon of each first application, and determines a hidden position corresponding to the icon of each second application. The terminal can save the angle corresponding to each display position and each hidden position in advance. After determining the position corresponding to the icon of each application, the terminal can save the corresponding position of the icon of each application of each category. Angle. That is, the corresponding angle is saved for each application icon.

Example 6:

In order to improve the user experience and display the icon of the second background application that is not shown, based on the above embodiments, in the embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes:

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of icons that can be displayed in each circular display area in the terminal is limited. For each type of application, the icons of some applications in this category may be hidden. The icon of the displayed application can be rotated on the circular display area to make the icon of the application not displayed.

When the user rotates the circular display area, the terminal can receive the rotation operation of the circular display area. The circular display area that performs the rotation operation is called the first circular display area, and the terminal receives the rotation operation of the first circular display area. Then, a rotation angle and a rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation can be determined. 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 position and the process of determining the rotation direction corresponding to the rotation operation belong to the prior art, and are not described in detail in the embodiment 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 application. The terminal can determine the angle range formed by the icon of the application currently displayed in the first circular display area according to the angle corresponding to the icon of each application that is saved in advance. The application is called a third application. The category corresponding to the first circular display area is called the first category. If the user performs a rotation operation on the first circular display area for the first time, the third application may only include the first application among the applications in the first category. Rotate the first circular display area for the first time. The third application may include only the second application of the first category of applications, or may include both the first application and the second of the first category of applications. application.

The angle range formed by the icon of the third application currently displayed in the first 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 application in the first category located in the second angle range can be identified according to the angle corresponding to the icon of each application in the first category saved in advance; that is, An icon of the fourth application to be displayed is determined.

After the icon of the fourth application to be displayed is determined, the icon of each third application currently displayed can be updated according to the icon of each fourth application.

The icon of the fourth application can be arbitrarily displayed in the first circular display area. Preferably, it can be according to the angle corresponding to each icon of the fourth application, according to the angle from small to large, 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 application according to the priority, the correspondence between the angle corresponding to each position pre-stored in the terminal and the priority of a certain category of applications may be: Larger, the greater the priority of the application corresponding to the icon, or the greater the angle corresponding to the icon, the lower the priority of the application corresponding to the icon.

As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal displays two circular display areas, and saves their corresponding circular hidden areas for each circular display area. In the system background of the terminal, the applications corresponding to each circular display area are arranged in a spiral manner. stand up. Each icon has its corresponding angle. When the terminal displays applications of each category, it can be displayed in a circular display area corresponding to the category. The user rotates the circular display area to display the hidden icons. The terminal uses the spiral operation principle to display the application icons. The multitasking management interface of the terminal containing the “broom” logo in FIG. 3 is the hidden area of the terminal on the other side containing the words “spiral operation principle”.

Example 7:

The user rotates the circular display area to display the icon of the application that is not displayed. When the user wants to view the icon of the displayed application after receiving the application display request, the user needs to rotate in the opposite direction until the icon that is displayed first appears. , Or exit and reopen the multitasking management interface. No matter which method is adopted, it will cause too many user operations, longer operation time, and poor user experience.

When the display request is received, the interface displaying the icon of the first application is referred to as an initial display interface.

In order to quickly return to the initial display interface, based on the above embodiments, in the embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes:

Receive the initialization of the application's information;

In the embodiment of the present invention, the angle corresponding to the icon of the application is stored in the terminal in advance, and the terminal may determine the angle formed by the icon in the initial display interface according to the angle corresponding to the icon of the first application displayed when the display request is received. range.

When the user wants to return the terminal to the initial display interface, the user can perform an initialization operation on the terminal. The initialization operation is to return the terminal to the initial display interface. The initial display interface displays application information, so the initialization operation can also be performed. It is called the initialization operation of application information. This initialization operation can be an operation on the terminal, such as shaking, or an operation on the multitasking management interface, such as a double-click operation.

Because the initialization operation is an operation for returning the terminal to the initial display interface, the angle range of the initial display interface determined by the terminal may also be the angle range corresponding to the initialization operation. An angle range corresponding to the initialization operation may be stored in the terminal, and an angle range corresponding to the initialization operation is referred to as a third angle range.

When the terminal receives the initialization operation, it can determine, for each category, according to the third angle range corresponding to the initialization operation saved first and the angle corresponding to each icon, to determine each angle of the category within the third angle range. An icon of each fifth application; the icon of each application displayed in the circular display area corresponding to the category is updated according to the icon of each fifth application.

The fifth application is the first application displayed by the terminal when a display request for the application is received.

Example 8:

If the user presets one application category, the terminal displays one circular display area, the user presets two application categories, and the terminal displays two circular display areas. If the user presets at least one application category, the terminal displays at least one circular display area.

When the terminal displays at least one circular display area, the terminal may use an animation effect to display, and the animation effect used to display the at least one circular display area is referred to as a first animation effect.

When the terminal displays the icon of the application, it may be displayed by using an animation effect, and the animation effect used to display the icon is referred to as a second animation effect.

The terminal may use only a preset first animation effect to display at least one circular display area, or may use only a preset second animation effect to display the application icons displayed in at least one circular display area. Preferably, the terminal uses a preset The first animation effect of the display at least one circular display area and the preset second animation effect to display the icon of the application displayed in the at least one circular display area.

The first animation effect and the second animation effect may be the same or different. The animation effect may be, for example, a preset duration of highlighting, or the icon color may be changed from light to dark. The animation effect can also be a change in shape, such as from small to large.

It is also possible to display the circular display area in the direction from the edge area to the center area, and display the application icon in the circular display area displayed in real time, as if the edge area of the circular display area is pulled out.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal determines the position of the center of the circle display area. The circle center position may be the default or determined according to the user's sliding operation. The terminal stores the circle display area for each circle display area. The first speed, the first preset value, and the first target value corresponding to the small circle radius are stored, and the second speed, the second preset value, and the second target value corresponding to the large circle radius are stored.

When using a preset increase speed for a preset period of time, to increase the display of the circular display area and the icons of each application displayed in the circular display area, the specific size of the circular display area may be determined based on the determined center position. The circle radius is increased from a first preset value to a first target value at a preset first speed, and the large circle radius of the annular display area is increased from a second preset value to a second target at a preset second speed. Value, so that the icon can be displayed in the circular display area, during the increase, the value of the small circle radius is smaller than the value of the large circle radius;

And according to the correspondence between the size of the pre-saved icon and the value of the radius of the circular display area, according to the current value of the radius of the circular display area, the target size of each icon is determined, and each icon to be applied determines the target The size is displayed in this circular display area.

The corresponding relationship between the size of the icon and the radius of the circular display area can also be saved in the terminal. The value of the radius can be the value of the small circle radius, the value of the large circle radius, the value of the small circle radius, and the large circle. The average value of the radius value, the terminal can determine the target size of each icon according to the saved corresponding relationship and the current radius value of the ring display area, and display the target size determined by each icon applied in the ring. Area.

The corresponding relationship is a proportional relationship, that is, the larger the value of the radius of the circular display area is, the larger the corresponding icon is. The circular display area increases in synchronization with the icons displayed therein.

For each circular display area in at least one circular display area in turn, a preset increase speed is used within a preset duration to increase display of the circular display area and each application icon displayed therein. That is, when the application icon is displayed in the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area, the inner ring display area and the outer ring display area do not increase at the same time, but increase sequentially.

In order to improve the user experience, generally, the inner ring display area is enlarged first, and the appearance display area is enlarged later. The background color of the circular display area is generally transparent. In order to prevent the icons displayed in the inner display area and the icons displayed in the outer display area from overlapping, the first preset value and the large circle corresponding to the small circle radius of the outer display area The second preset value corresponding to the radius is not less than the second target value of the radius of the great circle of the inner ring display area. That is, after the inner ring display area is displayed with an animation effect, the outer ring display area is displayed from the edge of the inner ring display area.
