Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Among them, in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "/" means or means, for example, A/B can mean A or B; "and/or" in the text is only a description of associated objects The association relationship indicates that there may be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and/or B, which may indicate: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiment of the present application , "plurality" means two or more than two.

Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as implying or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the "multiple" The meaning is two or more.

The term "user interface" in this application is a media interface for interaction and information exchange between an application program or an operating system and a user, and it realizes the conversion between the internal form of information and the form acceptable to the user. The commonly used form of user interface is the graphical user interface (graphic user interface, GUI). The GUI refers to a user interface related to computer operations displayed in a graphical manner, and may be an icon, window, control, and other interface elements displayed on a display screen of an electronic device. Wherein, the above controls may include icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, navigation bars, widgets and other visual interface elements.

A desktop in an electronic device is a user interface that users often use. The desktop may also be referred to as a home screen interface, a main interface, and the like. Desktop components such as APP icons, widgets, and service cards can be displayed on the desktop. The aforementioned desktop component may refer to a GUI application program, which may be used to provide quick access to visual information and/or functions. For example, a calendar widget can display the user's schedule. APP icons such as a camera application icon and a contact application icon may be used to provide a quick entry for opening a corresponding APP. Wherein, when the electronic device displays other user interfaces, the electronic device may return to the desktop of the electronic device in response to the home screen key. The above-mentioned home screen key may also be called a home key or the like.

Due to the increasing number of APPs now, a large number of APP icons are distributed in a disorderly manner on the desktop of the electronic device, which makes it a waste of time for users to search for APP icons, and the user experience is poor.

In some embodiments, the electronic device can create multiple desktop pages. A desktop page can be used to place multiple app icons, widgets, service cards and other desktop components. Wherein, a desktop component can be moved from one desktop page to another desktop page. Exemplarily, the user can move multiple desktop components in the same scene, or multiple desktop components that are often used together, to a desktop page. For example, one or more desktop components in a learning scene are placed in a desktop page. One or more desktop components under the motion scene are placed in another desktop page. Multiple desktop components in the entertainment scene are placed in a desktop page. In some embodiments, the user can switch between different desktop pages by swiping left and right, so as to find applications in different scenarios.

The above method can help users classify desktop components according to different usage scenarios, and the user operations of creating scenarios and switching scenarios are relatively simple. However, when there are many desktop components in a scene, it is still difficult for the user to quickly find a desktop component. And the above method is also difficult to help the user focus on one scene. For example, when the user wants to focus on the learning scene, the user can easily view the desktop page including the desktop components in other scenes by using the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the electronic device can create multiple desktop folders. A desktop folder can contain multiple APP icons. Desktop folders can be placed on the desktop page. Wherein, the user may first open the desktop folder, and then open the APP corresponding to the APP icon through the APP icon in the desktop folder. The user can move multiple APP icons in the same scene, or multiple APP icons that are often used together, to a desktop folder.

The above method can help users classify desktop components according to different usage scenarios, and the user operations of creating scenarios and switching scenarios are relatively simple. However, the above method requires the user to first search for the desktop folder, and then find the APP icon he needs from among the multiple APP icons contained in the desktop folder. When there are many desktop folders created by the user, and one desktop folder contains many APP icons, it is time-consuming for the user to search for the APP icons. In addition, the above method is also difficult to help the user focus on one scene.

In some embodiments, the desktop of the electronic device may include an application dock. The dock can be used to place one or more APP icons. The dock can be fixed on the desktop (such as the bottom of the desktop). The APP icon in the dock can be kept displayed when the desktop page is switched. Users can place their most frequently used APP icons in the dock. In this way, users can quickly find and open their most frequently used APPs through the dock.

However, the number of APP icons that can be placed in the dock is usually limited, and it is difficult to divide the APP into scenes, and cannot help users focus on one scene.

In some embodiments, the electronic device can hide one or more desktop pages. The aforementioned hidden desktop page may be selected by the user. In this way, the user can select the electronic device to display only the desktop pages that need to be used in the current scene.

However, the above method requires the user to move the desktop component to be hidden to the hidden desktop page, and the user operation is cumbersome, which is inconvenient for the user to quickly switch between the desktop components that need to be used in different scenarios.

This application provides a desktop management method. In this method, the electronic device can create different desktop spaces. A desktop space can contain a dock. One or more desktop components can be placed in a dock (for example, one or more desktop components in one scene). That is, the electronic device can create a new desktop space by creating a dock, and switch between different desktop spaces by switching different docks. Wherein, the electronic device may switch different docks in response to a preset user operation of switching docks (such as sliding to the left, sliding to the right, etc.).

The above user operations for creating and switching desktop spaces are relatively simple. A desktop space can contain one or more desktop components in a scene. Users can quickly switch to different desktop spaces, and quickly find the most commonly used desktop components in the corresponding scene of a desktop space through the dock in a desktop space.

In some embodiments, in addition to the aforementioned dock, a desktop space may also include one or more desktop pages. The user can choose to place all the desktop components used in a scene, such as scene A, on the desktop page of a desktop space, and place the most frequently used desktop components in scene A on the dock of this desktop space. Then, this desktop space is the desktop space corresponding to scenario A. In the case of one desktop space, the electronic device can display the desktop page of the one desktop space, and fully display the desktop components in the dock of the one desktop space. In response to the user operation of switching the desktop space, the electronic device may display the desktop page and the dock included in the switched desktop space on the desktop.

It can be seen that the electronic device can display a desktop page and a dock of a desktop space in a period of time, and a desktop space can only include desktop components in one scene. This can simplify the content presented on the desktop, help the user focus on a scene corresponding to a desktop space, and reduce the situation that applications in other desktop spaces interrupt the user's focus on the scene corresponding to this desktop space.

In some embodiments, when in a desktop space, the electronic device may only display message notifications of desktop components included in this desktop space. This can better help users focus on the scene corresponding to a desktop space.

The bone conduction sensor 180M can acquire vibration signals. In some embodiments, the bone conduction sensor 180M can acquire the vibration signal of the vibrating bone mass of the human voice. The bone conduction sensor 180M can also contact the human pulse and receive the blood pressure beating signal.

The keys 190 include a power key, a volume key and the like. The key 190 may be a mechanical key. It can also be a touch button. The electronic device 100 may receive key input and generate key signal input related to user settings and function control of the electronic device 100 .

The motor 191 can generate a vibrating reminder. The motor 191 can be used for incoming call vibration prompts, and can also be used for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations applied to different applications (such as taking pictures, playing audio, etc.) may correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The motor 191 may also correspond to different vibration feedback effects for touch operations acting on different areas of the display screen 194 .

The indicator 192 can be an indicator light, and can be used to indicate charging status, power change, and can also be used to indicate messages, missed calls, notifications, and the like.

The SIM card interface 195 is used for connecting a SIM card. The SIM card can be connected and separated from the electronic device 100 by inserting it into the SIM card interface 195 or pulling it out from the SIM card interface 195 . The electronic device 100 may support 1 or N SIM card interfaces, where N is a positive integer greater than 1. Multiple cards can be inserted into the same SIM card interface 195 at the same time. The types of the multiple cards may be the same or different. The SIM card interface 195 is also compatible with external memory cards. The electronic device 100 interacts with the network through the SIM card to implement functions such as calling and data communication. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 adopts an eSIM, that is, an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the electronic device 100 and cannot be separated from the electronic device 100 .

The software system of the electronic device 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-kernel architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. The embodiment of the present application takes the Android system with a layered architecture as an example to illustrate the software structure of the electronic device 100 .

Please refer to FIG. 1B , which schematically shows a software structural block diagram of the electronic device 100 .

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, and each layer has a clear role and division of labor. Layers communicate through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, which are respectively the application program layer, the application program framework layer, the Android runtime (Android runtime) and the system library, and the kernel layer from top to bottom.

The application layer can consist of a series of application packages.

As shown in FIG. 1B , the application package may include applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, short message, and desktop management applications.

The above-mentioned desktop management application can be used to provide desktop management functions such as creating desktop spaces and switching desktop spaces.

The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and a programming framework for applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

As shown in Fig. 1B, the application framework layer may include window manager, content provider, view system, phone manager, resource manager, notification manager, activity manager, etc.

A window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can get the size of the display screen, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, capture the screen, etc.

Content providers are used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. Said data may include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phonebook, etc.

The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying pictures, and so on. The view system can be used to build applications. A display interface can consist of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text message notification icon may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying pictures.

The phone manager is used to provide communication functions of the electronic device 100 . For example, the management of call status (including connected, hung up, etc.).

The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and so on.

The notification manager enables the application to display notification information in the status bar, which can be used to convey notification-type messages, and can automatically disappear after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to notify the download completion, message reminder, etc. The notification manager can also be a notification that appears on the top status bar of the system in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as a notification of an application running in the background, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, prompting text information in the status bar, issuing a prompt sound, vibrating the electronic device, and flashing the indicator light, etc.

The activity manager is used to manage activities, and is responsible for the starting, switching, scheduling of each component in the system, and the management and scheduling of application programs. The activity manager can be called by the upper application to open the corresponding activity.

Exemplarily, when a user operation for creating a desktop space is detected, the desktop management application may invoke an activity manager to open an activity related to creating a desktop space (such as an activity that makes the desktop enter an editing state, draws an activity for creating a desktop space activity of the user interface, etc.), providing users with the service of creating a desktop space.

Android Runtime includes core library and virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for the scheduling and management of the Android system.

The core library consists of two parts: one part is the function function that the java language needs to call, and the other part is the core library of Android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in virtual machines. The virtual machine executes the java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

A system library can include multiple function modules. For example: surface manager (surface manager), media library (Media Libraries), 3D graphics processing library (eg: OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (eg: SGL), etc.

The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides the fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

The media library supports playback and recording of various commonly used audio and video formats, as well as still image files, etc. The media library can support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

The 3D graphics processing library is used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing, etc.

2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer includes at least a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver, and a sensor driver.

The workflow of the software and hardware of the electronic device 100 will be exemplarily described below in conjunction with capturing and photographing scenes.

When the touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is sent to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes touch operations into original input events (including touch coordinates, time stamps of touch operations, and other information). Raw input events are stored at the kernel level. The application framework layer obtains the original input event from the kernel layer, and identifies the control corresponding to the input event. Take the touch operation as a touch click operation, and the control corresponding to the click operation is the control of the camera application icon as an example. The camera application calls the interface of the application framework layer to start the camera application, and then starts the camera driver by calling the kernel layer. Camera 193 captures still images or video.

The following describes a scenario of creating a desktop space provided by the embodiment of the present application.

FIG. 2A to FIG. 2H exemplarily show some schematic diagrams of scenarios in which electronic devices 100 create desktop spaces.

Optionally, when the video thumbnail icon in the thumbnail dock 228 is added to the dock 229 to be edited, the video thumbnail icon may not be included in the thumbnail dock 228.

In response to a user operation for exiting the desktop editing state, such as a touch operation on the area where the desktop page is located, the electronic device 100 may exit the desktop editing state and display the desktop 210 shown in FIG. 2H . The embodiment of the present application does not limit the above user operations for exiting the desktop editing state. For example, the above-mentioned user operation for exiting the desktop editing state may also be a user operation of spreading two fingers outward (that is, pressing two fingers, then separating the fingers, and then lifting them).

As shown in FIG. 2H , the desktop 210 may include a desktop page 218 , a page indicator 213 , a simplified dock 216 and a dock 217 . in:

The desktop page 218 may be a page corresponding to the abbreviated desktop page 231 . That is, the thumbnail desktop page 231 is a thumbnail image of the desktop page 218 . It can be understood that when the desktop editing state is exited, the thumbnail desktop page completely displayed in the user interface 220 is the thumbnail desktop page 231 . Then, after exiting the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display the page corresponding to the thumbnail desktop page 231 on the desktop 210 , that is, the desktop page 218 . The desktop page 218 may include desktop components such as APP icons.

For the page indicator 213, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 1A.

Simplified dock 216 may be a simplified display of dock 214 described above. The aforementioned thumbnail dock 228 may also be a thumbnail image of the simplified dock 216 . The APP icons in the simplified dock 216 may be overlapped and displayed as shown in FIG. 2H . Wherein, each APP icon in the simplified dock 216 can be displayed on different layers, and the APP icons on the upper layer can partially cover the APP icons on the lower layer. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the APP icon placed on the top layer in the simplified dock 216 . For example, in the case that a fully displayed dock (such as dock217) is located on the right side of the simplified dock216, the APP icon placed on the top layer in the simplified dock216 can be the rightmost APP icon in the dock214, that is, the AA video application icon. In the case that a fully displayed dock (such as dock 217 ) is located on the left side of the simplified dock 216 , the topmost APP icon in the simplified dock 216 may be the leftmost APP icon in the dock 214 , that is, the video application icon.

The dock217 is the dock created through the process shown in the above-mentioned Fig. 2A to Fig. 2F. The dock contains APP icons added by users: sports and health application icon 217A and AA sports application icon 217B. In some embodiments, the display style of the APP icon in the dock may be the same as the display style of the APP icon in the desktop page. Optionally, the display style of the APP icon in the dock may also be different from the display style of the APP icon in the desktop page. For example, the size of the APP icon in the dock is slightly smaller than the size of the APP icon in the desktop page.

For other contents of the desktop 210, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 1A. I won't go into details here.

It can be seen from FIG. 2H that, in some embodiments, due to the limited display area of the desktop 210, in the case of multiple docks, the electronic device 100 may only fully display one dock on the desktop 210, and simplify the display for other docks. The above-mentioned simplified display of the simplified dock can not only save the display area of the desktop 210, so that the electronic device 100 can fully display the above-mentioned dock, but also remind the user of the existence of these simplified docks. In some embodiments, since the display area of the desktop 210 is limited, if there are multiple docks, the electronic device 100 may completely display only one dock on the desktop 210 . Other docks are not presented on the desktop 210 . In some embodiments, when there are multiple docks, the electronic device 100 can fully display two or more docks on the desktop 210, and other incompletely displayed docks can be simplified and displayed on the desktop 210 or not presented on the desktop 210 . Exemplarily, the dock214 contains 3 APP icons. There are 2 APP icons in dock217. Desktop 210 has enough display area to display dock 214 and dock 217 . Then, the electronic device 100 can completely display both the dock 214 and the dock 217 on the desktop 210 . In this way, the user can browse two docks or more docks at the same time. Among them, in each of the above-mentioned embodiments with different dock display modes, the user can trigger the electronic device 100 to switch the dock completely displayed on the desktop 210 through a preset user operation (such as sliding the dock to the left or right), so as to browse Different docks. The scenario in which the electronic device 100 switches the dock will be specifically described in subsequent embodiments. Let’s not start the introduction here.

Understandably, a desktop space may include a dock. The process of creating a dock shown in FIGS. 2A to 2H above is the process of creating a desktop space. Users can place the icons of the most frequently used APPs in a scene in a dock. This scene is the scene corresponding to the desktop space to which the dock belongs. For example, the dock 214 includes APP icons in entertainment scenarios such as videos and music. The desktop space to which dock214 belongs is the entertainment desktop space. Dock217 contains APP icons in sports scenes such as sports. The desktop space to which dock217 belongs is the motion desktop space.

The above-mentioned user operation of creating a desktop space is relatively simple. The user can quickly create different desktop spaces to divide the desktop components into scenes, and quickly find the most frequently used desktop components in the corresponding scene of the desktop space through the dock of the desktop space.

In some embodiments, during the process of creating a dock, the electronic device 100 can still display the desktop 210 shown in FIG. 2B without entering the desktop editing state. Exemplarily, in response to a user operation acting on the add control 215 shown in FIG. 2B , the electronic device 100 may display a blank dock on the desktop 210 . For example, the add control 215 disappears from the desktop 210 , and a blank dock as described above can be displayed on the right side of the dock 214 . Wherein, the dock 214 may be completely displayed on the desktop 210 as shown in FIG. 2B . Alternatively, the dock 214 can also be displayed in a simplified manner, and presented on the desktop 210 in the style of the simplified dock 216 shown in FIG. 2H . The user can add desktop components on the desktop page (such as desktop page 212, desktop page 218, etc.) to the blank dock, thereby completing the creation of the desktop space. The above-mentioned mode of adding the desktop component on the desktop page to the blank dock can be, for example, dragging the desktop component into the blank dock. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the method for adding the desktop component to the newly created dock.

Wherein, the electronic device 100 may cancel the display of the blank dock on the desktop 210 when no desktop component is added to the blank dock within a preset period of time. That is to say, if the user triggers the electronic device 100 to display a blank dock through the user operation shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. The dock will disappear from the desktop 210. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the length of the foregoing preset time period. For example, the aforementioned preset time period may be 15 seconds, 30 seconds and so on. Optionally, in response to other user operations for deleting the blank dock, the electronic device 100 may cancel displaying the blank dock on the desktop 210 .

It can be understood that the above method for adding a desktop component to a newly created dock can also be used to add a desktop component to an existing dock.

For example, dock217 already exists in the desktop shown in FIG. 2H. In response to the user operation of dragging a desktop component in the desktop page to the dock 217 , the electronic device 100 can add the desktop component in the dock 217 .

For another example, the simplified dock 216 already exists in the desktop shown in FIG. 2H . In response to the user operation of dragging a desktop component in the desktop page to the simplified dock 216 , the electronic device 100 can add this desktop component in the simplified dock 216 . In a possible implementation manner, when desktop components are added to the simplified dock 216, the electronic device 100 may fully display the desktop components in the simplified dock 216, and present them on the desktop 210 in the style of the dock 214 shown in FIG. 2A. The dock 214 may contain the above-mentioned added desktop components. In another possible implementation, when desktop components are added to the simplified dock 216, the electronic device 100 can still display the simplified dock 216 in a simplified display style, and overlap and display the newly added desktop components with the existing desktop components in the simplified dock 216 . For example, a newly added desktop component can be placed on top of the simplified dock 216, partially covering other desktop components located below. In this way, the user can be sure that desktop components have been added to the simplified dock 216 .

In some embodiments, the number of desktop components that can be placed in a dock is limited. When the number of existing desktop components in the dock does not exceed the limit, the user can add desktop components to the dock through the method in the foregoing embodiment.

It can be known from the above embodiments that the user can add the desktop components in the desktop page to the dock without triggering the electronic device 100 to enter the desktop editing state.

FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D exemplarily show schematic diagrams of scenarios in which other electronic devices 100 create a desktop space.

As shown in FIG. 3A , the electronic device 100 may display a desktop 210 . For the content contained in the desktop 210, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments. I won't go into details here.

In response to the user operation of sliding to the left on the area where the dock 214 is located, the electronic device 100 may display the add control 215 shown in FIG. 3B on the left side of the dock 214 . After the add control 215 appears, in response to the above user operation of continuously sliding to the left in the area where the dock 214 is located, the electronic device 100 may widen the add control 215 to display the add control 215A shown in FIG. 3C . Wherein, during the process of triggering the electronic device 100 to display the adding control 215A shown in FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C , the above-mentioned user operation of sliding to the left in the area where the dock 214 is located is continuous. That is, during the above-mentioned user operation of sliding to the left, the user's hand does not leave the screen of the electronic device 100 . The electronic device 100 can continuously detect the user operation of sliding to the left on the screen.

The above-mentioned user operation of sliding to the left in the area where the dock214 is located may refer to: a user operation of sliding to the left in the area where the dock214 is located. It can be understood that the size of the area where the dock214 is located is limited, and during the process of sliding to the left, the scope of the user's operation may exceed the area where the dock is located. However, if the sliding start point of the user operation of sliding to the left is located in the area where the dock 214 is located, the user operation of sliding to the left can trigger the electronic device 100 to display the adding control 215 .

The above-mentioned user operation of continuously sliding to the left in the area where the dock 214 is located may be a user operation in which the distance of sliding to the left reaches or exceeds a preset distance. When receiving a user operation of sliding to the left in the area where the dock 214 is located, but the sliding distance does not reach the preset distance, the electronic device 100 may display the add control 215 . When the user continues to slide to the left so that the sliding distance reaches the preset distance, the electronic device 100 may display the adding control 215A. Optionally, the above-mentioned user operation of continuously sliding to the left in the area where the dock 214 is located may be a user operation in which the time of sliding to the left reaches or exceeds a preset time length. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the value of the preset distance and the preset time length.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 widens the add control 215 to display the add control 215A shown in FIG. 3C , the electronic device 100 may narrow the dock 214 and overlap and display a part of APP in the dock 214 .

In the case that the electronic device 100 displays the adding control 215A, when it is detected that the user operation of continuously sliding to the left is released, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 220 shown in FIG. 3D . The user interface 220 may include a dock 229 to be edited. The user can add desktop components in the dock 229 to be edited. For the content contained in the user interface 220, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 2C. For the implementation of adding a desktop component in the dock 229 to be edited, reference may also be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments. I won't go into details here.

The release of the above-mentioned user operation of continuously sliding to the left means that the user's finger that continues to slide to the left leaves the screen of the electronic device 100 .

Optionally, when detecting the above-mentioned user operation of continuously sliding to the left, the electronic device 100 may display a blank dock on the desktop without entering the desktop editing state shown in FIG. 3D . Users can add desktop components in the desktop page to this blank dock.

Not limited to the above-mentioned user operation of continuously sliding to the left, the user operation of continuously sliding to the right in the area where the dock 214 is located may also trigger the electronic device 100 to create a blank dock.

It can be seen from the above embodiments that the user operation of continuously sliding to the left (or sliding to the right) may directly trigger the electronic device 100 to create a blank dock. The user may no longer perform user operations on the adding control 215 . That is to say, the above-mentioned user operation of continuously sliding to the left (or sliding to the right) may be equivalent to that shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. A combination of touch operations on control 215A is added. Compared with FIG. 2A and FIG. 2D , the user operation in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D is simpler, which can help the user to create a desktop space more conveniently.

In some embodiments, when in the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display a creation component for creating a desktop space on the user interface. In response to a user operation, such as a touch operation, on the creation component, the electronic device 100 may create a blank dock.

Exemplarily, in response to a user operation for triggering the electronic device 100 to enter the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may enter the desktop editing state shown in FIG. 2C . The above-mentioned user operations for triggering the electronic device 100 to enter the desktop editing state may include user operations of long pressing on a blank position of the desktop, user operations of pinching two fingers inward, user operations of clicking a specified button, pressing a specified physical button (or a combination of physical buttons) ) user actions and so on. This embodiment of the present application does not limit it. Different from the user interface 220 shown in FIG. 2C, the user interface displayed by the electronic device 100 in response to the user operation for triggering the electronic device 100 to enter the desktop editing state may include the above-mentioned creating components, but not the above-mentioned to-be-edited dock229. In response to the user operation acting on the above creation component, the electronic device 100 may create a blank dock, and display the dock 229 to be edited shown in FIG. 2C on the user interface. Then, the user can add desktop components in the dock 229 to be edited to complete the creation of the desktop space.

The following describes a scenario of switching desktop spaces provided by the embodiment of the present application.

FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C exemplarily show some scenarios where electronic devices 100 switch desktop spaces.

As shown in FIG. 4A , the electronic device 100 may display a desktop 410 . Desktop 410 may include dock 411 , simplified dock 412A, simplified dock 413A, simplified dock 414A, and simplified dock 415A. in:

In the case that there are multiple docks, the electronic device 100 may only fully display one dock on the desktop 410 and simplify the display for other docks.

The dock 411 is a dock completely displayed on the desktop 410 . Dock411 contains APP icons in entertainment scenarios such as video and music. The desktop space to which dock411 belongs may be an entertainment desktop space. The user can place the icons of the most frequently used APPs in the entertainment scene in the dock 411 . Through dock411, users can quickly find and open their most frequently used apps in entertainment scenarios.

Simplified dock412A, simplified dock413A, simplified dock414A and simplified dock415A are docks with simplified display. For simplifying the display manner of the desktop components in the dock, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments. The four simplified display docks can be overlapped to save the display area of the desktop 410 . The simplified dock displayed on the upper layer can partially cover the simplified dock displayed on the lower layer.

In a possible implementation, when the fully displayed dock is located on the left side of multiple simplified docks, the overlapping levels of the multiple simplified docks may be arranged on the leftmost side in an order from left to right The simplified dock of is displayed at the top, and the simplified dock at the far right is displayed at the bottom. In the case that the fully displayed dock is located on the right side of multiple simplified docks, the overlapping layers of the simplified docks can be arranged in the order from left to right, the simplified dock on the far right is displayed on the top layer, and the The simplified dock on the far left is displayed at the bottom.

In this way, in response to a user operation that slides left or right on the area where the dock (the fully displayed dock and the simplified displayed dock) is located, the fully displayed dock after the electronic device 100 switches the dock is the simplified one located at the top of the simplified dock. The dock corresponding to the dock. The user can know in advance which scene the switched desktop space corresponds to before switching the desktop space.

Exemplarily, simplified dock 412A, simplified dock 413A, simplified dock 414A, and simplified dock 415A are located to the right of fully displayed dock 411 . Simplified dock412A is a dock to the right of dock411 and adjacent to dock411. Simplified dock412A, simplified dock413A, simplified dock414A and simplified dock415A are arranged in order from left to right, simplified dock412A is located at the far left of these four simplified docks, and simplified dock415A is located at the far right of these four simplified docks. Then, according to the overlapping display rule in the above-mentioned embodiment, the simplified dock 412A is displayed on the uppermost layer among the four simplified docks that are overlapped and displayed. An APP icon in the simplified dock 412A (that is, the sports and health application icon 421 ) is completely displayed in the simplified dock 412A. The simplified dock 415A is displayed at the bottom among the four simplified docks displayed in an overlapping manner. Simplified dock413A, simplified dock414A and simplified dock415A are all partially blocked, and some areas are visible.

According to the APP icon visible in the simplified dock 412A, the user can know that if the fully displayed dock is switched to the dock on the right side of the dock 411, the desktop space displayed by the electronic device 100 is the desktop space to which the simplified dock 412A belongs, such as the sports desktop space.

For other content included in the desktop 410, reference may be made to the introduction of the desktop 210 shown in FIG. 1A.

As shown in FIG. 4A , in response to a user operation of sliding to the left on the area where the dock is located, the electronic device 100 may display a desktop 410 as shown in FIG. 4B . Wherein, the electronic device 100 fully displays the simplified dock 412A on the desktop 410 , and the simplified display dock 411 .

Wherein, the complete display style of the simplified dock412A may be the dock412 as shown in FIG. 4B . The dock 412 may include a sports health application icon 421 and an AA sports application icon 422 . It can be seen that the dock412 contains the APP icon in the sports scene. The desktop space to which dock412 belongs may be a motion desktop space.

The simplified display style of the dock 411 may be the simplified dock 411A shown in FIG. 4B . The APP icons in the simplified dock 411A can be displayed overlappingly. Simplified dock 411A may be displayed to the left of fully displayed dock 412.

Simplified dock413A, simplified dock414A and simplified dock415A are still displayed overlapping. Different from FIG. 4A , in FIG. 4B , since the simplified dock 412A is completely displayed, the simplified dock 412A is no longer overlapped with other simplified displayed docks. The simplified dock adjacent to the simplified dock 412A and located under the simplified dock 412A, that is, the simplified dock 413A, can be displayed on the uppermost layer of the multiple simplified docks that are still overlapped. It can be seen that an APP icon (ie AA chat application icon 431 ) in the simplified dock 413A is completely displayed in the simplified dock 413A. Simplified dock414A and simplified dock415A are displayed on the lower layer of simplified dock413A, both of which are partially blocked, and a part of the area is visible.

As shown in FIG. 4B , in response to the user operation of sliding to the left on the area where the dock is located, the electronic device 100 may display a desktop 410 as shown in FIG. 4C . Wherein, the electronic device 100 can completely display the simplified dock 413A on the desktop 410 and simplify the displayed dock 412 .

Wherein, the complete display style of the simplified dock413A may be the dock413 shown in FIG. 4C . The dock 413 may include an AA chat application icon 431 , a BB chat application icon 432 , and a dial application icon 433 . It can be seen that what is contained in dock413 is the APP icon in the communication scene. The desktop space to which dock413 belongs may be a communication desktop space.

The user operation of sliding to the left shown in FIG. 4B may be equivalent to simplifying the display of the dock 412 to the left. In a case where a simplified dock already exists on the left side of the fully displayed dock, the electronic device 100 may overlap and display the simplified dock displayed on the dock 412 with the existing simplified dock on the left. Exemplarily, the leftward simplified display style of the dock 412 may be the simplified dock 412B shown in FIG. 4C . Simplified dock412B is displayed overlapping with simplified dock411A. Wherein, the simplified dock 412B can be displayed on the upper layer of the simplified dock 411A, and partially cover the simplified dock 411A.

It can be understood that the simplified dock 412A shown in FIG. 4A and the simplified dock 412B shown in FIG. 4C are docks after the simplified display of the dock 412 . Wherein, the simplified dock 412A is a dock that is simplified and displayed to the right, and is located on the right side of the fully displayed dock. Simplified dock412A implements a simplified display dock to the left, which is located on the left side of a fully displayed dock. In some embodiments, the method for simplifying the overlapping display of APP icons in dock 412A and the method for simplifying the overlapping display of APP icons in dock 412B may be different. For example, the leftmost APP icon in the dock 412 (such as the sports and health application icon 421 ) is displayed on the top layer of all overlapping displayed APP icons in the simplified dock 412A. The rightmost APP icon in the dock 412 (such as the AA sports application icon 422) is displayed on the top layer of all overlapping displayed APP icons in the simplified dock 412B. Optionally, the method for simplifying the overlapping display of APP icons in dock412A and the method for simplifying the overlapping display of APP icons in dock412B may be the same. When a user operation of sliding right on the area where the dock is located is detected, the electronic device 100 may simplify and display the fully displayed dock to the right.

Simplified dock414A and simplified dock415A are still displayed overlapping. Different from FIG. 4B , in FIG. 4C , since the simplified dock 413A is completely displayed, the simplified dock 413A is no longer overlapped with other simplified displayed docks. The simplified dock 413 adjacent to the simplified dock 413A and located under the simplified dock 413A, that is, the simplified dock 414A, can be displayed on the uppermost layer of the multiple simplified docks that are still overlapped. It can be seen that an APP icon in the simplified dock 414A (that is, the AA note application icon 441 ) is completely displayed in the simplified dock 414A. Simplified dock 415A is shown below simplified dock 414A, partially obscured.

Not limited to the user operation of sliding left or right on the area where the dock is located, the electronic device 100 may respond to other preset user operations to switch the dock completely displayed on the desktop. For example, in response to a click operation or a touch operation on a simplified dock, the electronic device 100 may completely display the simplified dock on the desktop and simplify the display of other docks.

The clicked or touched simplified dock may be adjacent to the fully displayed dock and located on the left or right side of the fully displayed dock (simplified dock 411A or simplified dock 413A shown in FIG. 4B ). In response to a touch operation on the simplified dock 413A shown in FIG. 4B , the electronic device 100 may display a desktop 410 as shown in FIG. 4C . For a specific implementation of switching the dock completely displayed on the desktop 410 by the electronic device 100, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 4C .

Optionally, the simplified dock that is clicked or touched may also be a simplified dock that is located in a lower layer and is partially hidden among multiple overlapping simplified docks (simplified dock 414A or simplified dock 415A as shown in FIG. 4B ). Since the simplified dock is partially covered and only a part of the area is displayed, the above-mentioned click operation or touch operation may act on the displayed area of the simplified dock. For example, in response to a touch operation on the area where the simplified dock 413A shown in FIG. 4A is displayed, the electronic device 100 may display the desktop 410 as shown in FIG. 4C . For a specific implementation of switching the dock completely displayed on the desktop 410 by the electronic device 100, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 4C .

It can be known from the above embodiments that a desktop space may include a dock, and the process of switching the dock shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C is the process of switching the desktop space. The user can switch the dock completely displayed on the desktop through the user operation of sliding left or right, or clicking the user operation corresponding to the dock. The above-mentioned user operation of switching the desktop space is relatively simple, and the user can quickly switch the desktop space corresponding to different scenes, so as to quickly find the desktop component that he or she uses most frequently in a scene.

It should be noted that the user operation of sliding left or right to create a desktop space shown in Figures 2A to 2H is different from the user operation of sliding left or right to switch desktop spaces shown in Figures 4A to 4C The difference is that:

In the case that there is only one dock (that is, one desktop space), the user operation of sliding left or right on the area where the dock is located can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to create a new desktop space.

In the case of multiple docks (that is, multiple desktop spaces), if the dock that is currently completely displayed on the desktop is the dock that is arranged on the leftmost side, the user operation that slides to the right in the area where the dock is located can be used to trigger the electronic The device 100 creates a new desktop space, and the user operation of sliding to the left in the area where the dock is located can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to simplify the display of the dock that is currently fully displayed on the desktop, and display the current complete display on the right side of the dock on the desktop. The dock is completely displayed on the desktop (that is, switching the desktop space). If the dock currently fully displayed on the desktop is the dock arranged on the far right, then the user operation of sliding to the left in the area where the dock is located can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to create a new desktop space, and act on the area where the dock is located to move to the right The user operation of sliding can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to simplify the display of the dock currently completely displayed on the desktop, and completely display the dock on the left side of the dock currently completely displayed on the desktop (that is, to switch the desktop space). If there is a simplified display dock on the left and right side of the currently fully displayed dock on the desktop, then the user operation of sliding left or right on the area where the dock is located can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to switch the desktop space.

In some embodiments, a dock for placing resident desktop components and a dock for recently used desktop components may be displayed on the desktop of the electronic device 100 at the same time. Wherein, the above-mentioned resident desktop component may be fixedly placed in the dock. In response to a user operation of removing a resident desktop component from the dock, or a user operation of adding a desktop component in the dock where the resident desktop component is placed, the electronic device 100 may adjust the desktop component in the dock where the resident desktop component is placed. The aforementioned recently used desktop components may include desktop components that have been opened within a preset period of time (for example, within the last 15 minutes). The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific value of the latest preset time period. Alternatively, the above-mentioned recently used desktop components may also include the L desktop components with the latest open time among all running desktop components (such as running in the foreground, running in the background, etc.). The aforementioned L is a positive integer. The specific value of L is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The aforementioned recently used desktop components may also include one or more desktop components screened by the electronic device 100 according to other rules. That is to say, the electronic device 100 can automatically update the desktop components included in the dock where the most recently used desktop components are placed according to the opening time of the desktop components.

FIG. 5 exemplarily shows a schematic diagram of a scene where the electronic device 100 displays a dock for placing resident desktop components and a dock for placing recently used desktop components.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the electronic device 100 may display a desktop 510 . Desktop 510 may include dock511 , dock512 , dock513 , dock514 , dock515 and dock516 . Wherein, dock 511 may be a dock for placing recently used desktop components. dock512-dock516 may be docks for placing resident desktop components.

The dock 511 may include desktop components recently opened by the user such as the AA chat application icon 511A, the music application icon 511B, and the AA news application icon 511C. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of desktop components contained in the dock 511 . In a possible implementation manner, the size of the dock 511 may vary with the number of desktop components contained therein. For example, when the recently opened desktop component has only two APP icons, the length of the dock 511 can be reduced from the size that can place three APP icons as shown in FIG. 5 to the size that can place two APP icons. When the recently opened desktop component has four APP icons, the length of the dock 511 can be enlarged from the size in which three APP icons can be placed as shown in FIG. 5 to the size in which four APP icons can be placed.

For the contents of dock512-dock516, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments.

The embodiment of the present application does not limit the display positions on the desktop of the above-mentioned dock for placing resident desktop components and the dock for placing recently used desktop components. For example, the dock where recently used desktop components are placed may also be located on the right side of the dock where resident desktop components are placed.

In the subsequent embodiments of the present application, a dock displaying a resident desktop component on the desktop is used as an example for introduction.

It can be known from the above embodiments that the electronic device 100 may display two different types of docks on the desktop: a dock for placing resident desktop components and a dock for placing recently used desktop components. Wherein, there may be one or more docks for placing resident desktop components. A dock that places resident desktop components can represent a desktop space. Users can create different desktop spaces and use different desktops to divide desktop components into scenes. This can facilitate the user to quickly find desktop components in different scenarios. In addition, the user can also quickly open the desktop components that he has recently opened again through the dock where the recently used desktop components are placed.

In some embodiments, during the process of creating a new desktop space, the electronic device 100 may recommend desktop components in the dock of the desktop space according to preset recommendation rules, so that the user can quickly complete the creation of the desktop space.

FIG. 6A to FIG. 6E exemplarily show some scenarios of recommending desktop components in the dock provided by the embodiment of the present application.

In response to a user operation for creating a dock (that is, creating a new desktop space), the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 610 as shown in FIG. 6A . For the above user operations for creating a dock, reference may be made to the user operations shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B , or the user operations shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C . The user interface 610 may include a thumbnail desktop page 611 , a thumbnail desktop page 612 , a thumbnail desktop page 613 , a dock 614 and a dock 615 .

Wherein, the thumbnail desktop page 611 to the thumbnail desktop page 613 may refer to the thumbnail desktop page 221 to the thumbnail desktop page 223 shown in FIG. 2C . The dock614 may refer to the abbreviated dock228 shown in FIG. 2C above. I won't go into details here.

dock615 is the newly created dock. The dock 615 may include an added APP area 617 and a recommended APP area 618 .

The added APP area 617 can be used to place the APP icons that have been added to the dock 615 . In the case that no APP icon has been added to the dock 615 , the added APP area 617 may be displayed as empty as shown in FIG. 6A .

The recommended APP area 618 can be used to place APP icons recommended by the electronic device 100 . For example, AA notes application icon 618A, email application icon 618B, and document editing application icon 618C. These recommended APP icons may be selected by the electronic device 100 from all APPs installed in the electronic device 100 according to preset recommendation rules. The above preset recommendation rules will be specifically introduced in subsequent embodiments. Let's not expand here. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of APP icons included in the recommended APP area 618 .

In a possible implementation manner, each APP icon placed in the recommended APP area 618 may include the add control shown in FIG. 6A . The add control on an APP icon can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to add this APP icon to the added APP area.

As shown in FIG. 6A, in response to the user operation of adding a control on the AA note application icon 618A, the electronic device 100 can add the AA note application icon in the added area 617 of the dock 615, and recommend APP notes in the APP area 618.

Not limited to adding the APP icons in the recommended APP area 618 to the added APP area 617 of the dock 615 , the electronic device 100 can also add the APP icons in the thumbnail desktop page to the added APP area 617 . When the APP icon in the thumbnail desktop page is added to the added APP area 617 , the electronic device 100 may also update the APP icon in the recommended APP area 618 of the dock 615 according to the added APP icon.

Exemplarily, in response to the user operation of sliding to the left on the area where the thumbnail desktop page is located as shown in FIG. 6C , the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 610 shown in FIG. 6D .

In FIG. 6D , user interface 610 may include thumbnail desktop page613 , thumbnail desktop page619 , thumbnail desktop page620 , dock614 and dock615 .

For the thumbnail desktop page 613 , the thumbnail desktop page 619 , the thumbnail desktop page 620 , and the dock 614 , reference may be made to the introduction of the aforementioned embodiment shown in FIG. 2C . I won't go into details here.

The desktop page 619 may include an AA dictionary application icon 619A. In response to the user operation of adding the AA dictionary application icon 619A in the desktop page 619 to the dock 615, the electronic device 100 can add the AA dictionary application icon in the added APP area 615A of the dock 615, and update the recommended APP icon in the recommended APP area 618 . For the user operation for adding the AA dictionary application icon 619A in the desktop page 619 to the dock 615, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments.

Wherein, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 610 shown in FIG. 6E . In FIG. 6E , the added area 617 may contain the AA note application icon 617A, and the AA dictionary application icon 617B added from the desktop page 619 . The recommended APP area 618 may include a document editing application icon 618C, an AA reading application icon 618F, and a BB reading application icon 618G. The APP icons contained in the recommended APP area 618 shown in FIG. 6E may be determined by the electronic device 100 according to the APP icons added to the added APP area 617 (such as the AA dictionary application icon 617B) and preset recommendation rules.

The implementation method of recommending APP icons in the dock by the electronic device 100 according to preset recommendation rules will be specifically introduced below.

FIG. 7A exemplarily shows a flowchart of a method for recommending an APP icon by the electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the method may include steps S701-S705. in:

S701. Upon receiving a user operation for creating a dock, the electronic device 100 creates a dock1, and displays K APP icons in a recommended APP area of the dock1.

For the method for creating a blank dock by the electronic device 100, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments. The aforementioned dock1 may be, for example, the aforementioned dock615 shown in FIG. 6A . The aforementioned K APP icons displayed in the recommended APP area of dock1 may be, for example, the APP icons in the recommended APP area 618 shown in FIG. 6A . The aforementioned K is a positive integer.

In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device 100 may recommend an APP icon to be added to the dock for the user according to the time when the user uses the APP.

Please refer to FIG. 7B . FIG. 7B exemplarily shows a recommendation rule provided by an embodiment of the present application.

Multiple APPs can be installed in the electronic device 100, such as APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4, APP5, APP6 and so on. The electronic device 100 may divide the APPs installed in the electronic device 100 according to the usage time of the APPs, and group multiple APPs into packages (pack).

Specifically, the electronic device 100 may collect data on the usage time of the APP by the user within a certain period of time. The aforementioned period of time may be, for example, one week, one month, and the like. The above-mentioned data on the usage time of using the APP may include the time of opening the user interface of the APP, the time of closing the user interface of the APP, the duration of using the APP, and the like.

The electronic device 100 may divide a day into different time periods, such as 6:00-9:00, 9:00-12:00 and so on. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the division of the foregoing time periods. Optionally, the electronic device 100 may also take two days, three days, or one week as a whole period of time, and divide this period of time into different time periods. Subsequent embodiments of the present application are specifically described by dividing a day into different time periods.

The electronic device 100 can count the APPs used in each time period, and the usage duration of these APPs. For example, the electronic device 100 may divide several (such as 3, 4, etc.) APPs with the longest usage time from 6:00 to 9:00 into APP pack1. The electronic device 100 may classify several APPs with the longest usage time from 9:00 to 12:00 as APP2. The electronic device 100 may divide several APPs with the longest usage time from 21:00 to 24:00 into APP pack N. In this way, the electronic device 100 can obtain multiple APP packs. Since users may use the same APP in different time periods, different APP packs can contain the same APP. The number of APPs contained in each APP pack may be the same, or may also be different.

An APP pack can contain APPs that users often use together. For example, a user often uses an APP for checking the weather and an APP for browsing news together from 8:00 to 9:00. Users often use different APPs for shopping together from 21:00 to 24:00.

It is understandable that multiple APPs that are often used together by the user may belong to one scene. For example, a user may use multiple different shopping apps together in a shopping scene. The above division of APPs according to the user's usage time can facilitate the electronic device 100 to recommend to the user the APPs that the user often uses together at the same time, and improve the efficiency of the user's construction of a desktop space for describing a scene.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can also determine the degree of duplication of each APP pack according to the APP icons contained in the existing dock.

The degree of duplication of an APP pack can be determined by the number of APP icons corresponding to the APPs contained in this APP pack existing in the existing dock. Among them, the more APP icons corresponding to the APP contained in an APP pack exist in the existing dock, the higher the repetition degree of this APP is, and vice versa, the lower the repetition degree of this APP. For example, an APP pack contains 5 APPs, if 3 APPs in this APP pack exist in the existing dock, then the repetition degree of this APP pack can be 3/5, that is, 60%.

The electronic device 100 may select an APP icon recommended to the dock from APP packs whose repetition degree is lower than a preset repetition degree. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the value of the above-mentioned preset repetition degree. For example, the preset repetition degree may be 70% or the like. In this way, repeated recommendation can be avoided, or the recommended APP icon belongs to the scene corresponding to the established desktop space.

The electronic device 100 can determine the usage rate of each APP pack according to the usage time of the APP, and select the APP pack with the highest usage rate from the APP packs whose repetition degree is lower than the preset repetition degree as the recommendation result.

The usage rate of an APP pack can be the total usage time of all APPs included in the APP pack in the time period corresponding to the APP pack. For example, APP pack1 contains 5 APPs. The total usage time of these 5 apps from 6:00 to 9:00 is 140 minutes. Then the electronic device 100 determines the usage rate of APP pack1 as 140. Optionally, the usage rate of an APP pack may be the average usage duration of all APPs included in the APP pack within the time period corresponding to the APP pack. For example, APP pack1 contains 5 APPs. The total usage time of these 5 apps from 6:00 to 9:00 is 140 minutes. The average usage time of these five apps from 6:00 to 9:00 is 28 minutes. The electronic device 100 may determine that the usage rate of APP pack1 is 28. The usage rate of the APP pack can also be determined by other calculation methods using the usage time of the APP. This embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

Exemplarily, APP pack1 is an APP pack with the highest usage rate among the APP packs whose repetition degree is not lower than the above preset repetition degree. The electronic device 100 may use APP pack1 as a recommendation result. In a possible implementation, the electronic device 100 may display the APP icons corresponding to all APPs in the APP pack1 in the recommended APP area of the dock (such as the aforementioned newly created dock1), that is, all of them are recommended to the user. Optionally, the electronic device 100 may also select several (such as K) APPs with the longest usage time from the APP pack1, and display the APP icons corresponding to the K APPs in the recommended APP area of the dock.

The electronic device 100 is not limited to the usage time of the above-mentioned APP, and the electronic device 100 may also obtain the recommendation result of the APP according to the number of times the APP is opened, or in combination with the data such as the usage time of the APP and the number of times the APP is opened.

Optionally, not limited to the division in the above time dimension, the electronic device 100 may also divide the APP based on the geographic location dimension to obtain multiple different APP packs. For example, the electronic device 100 may divide the APPs used by the user when the electronic device 100 is at position 1 into one APP pack, and divide the APPs used by the user when the electronic device 100 is at position 2 into another APP pack. By analogy, the electronic device 100 can obtain multiple APP packs. Then the electronic device 100 can determine the recommendation result based on the plurality of APP packs according to the recommendation rules introduced in the above embodiments. Wherein, the above-mentioned different geographic locations such as location 1 and location 2 may specifically refer to areas with a certain size range.

In a possible implementation manner, the recommendation model A may be stored in the electronic device 100 . Recommendation model A may follow the recommendation rules shown in FIG. 7B. The electronic device 100 can collect data on the usage time of the user using the APP, and use the recommendation model A to regularly or irregularly group the APPs installed in the electronic device 100 to obtain multiple APP packs, and determine the Recommended results. When the user operation of creating a dock is detected, the electronic device 100 may display the above recommendation result in the recommended APP area of the newly created blank dock. Optionally, when a user operation for editing the dock is detected, the electronic device 100 may also display the above recommendation result in the recommended APP area of the edited dock.

It can be seen that the recommendation rule shown in FIG. 7B above can recommend multiple APPs that the user often uses together when the user creates a new desktop space. The multiple apps used together above are often used by users in one scenario. This can help users provide efficiency in constructing desktop spaces that describe a scene. Moreover, the above-mentioned recommendation rules are also combined with the desktop space already created by the user, so as to reduce the situation of repeated recommendation and the conflict between the recommended APP and the created desktop space.

S702. Receiving a user operation of adding the APP1 icon among the K APP icons to the dock1, the electronic device 100 adds the APP1 icon to the added APP area of the dock1.

The electronic device 100 may use APP pack1 shown in FIG. 7B as a recommendation result. The electronic device 100 may display K APP icons in the APP pack1 in the recommended APP area of the dock1. The K APP icons may include an APP1 icon corresponding to APP1. The above-mentioned APP1 icon may be, for example, the aforementioned AA notes application icon 618A shown in FIG. 6A . The user operation of adding the APP1 icon to the dock1 may be, for example, the user operation of adding a control on the AA note application icon 618A shown in FIG. 6A .

S703, the electronic device 100 determines Y APPs from all the APPs installed on the electronic device 100, and the Y APPs have an association relationship A with APP1, and the electronic device 100 updates the APP icon in the recommended APP area in the dock1, corresponding to the above Y APPs The APP icon is displayed in the recommended APP area of dock1.

The APP icons corresponding to the above Y APPs may be, for example, the APP icons in the recommended APP area 618 of the dock 615 shown in FIG. 6B .

The electronic device 100 may update the APP icon in the recommended APP area of dock1 according to the APP added by the user in dock1 and the preset recommendation rules.

In a possible implementation manner, the preset recommendation rule may be to recommend an APP of the same type as the APP added by the user in the dock. For example, the APP added by the user in dock1 is the AA notes application. The category of the AA notes application may be a study category. The electronic device 100 may search for an APP whose category is the learning category from all APPs installed on the electronic device 100 . The electronic device 100 may determine one or more APPs from the found APPs of the learning category, and display the APP icons corresponding to the one or more APPs in the recommended APP area of dock1. The one or more APPs may be any one or more APPs in the learning category of the electronic device 100 . Alternatively, the one or more APPs may be one or more APPs in the learning category of the electronic device 100 that are frequently used by the user (eg, the longest usage time). The one or more APPs may be APPs that are not placed in other existing docks.

Exemplarily, the electronic device 100 may determine that the document editing application, the AA quiz application, and the AA dictionary application are APPs of the learning category, and display the APP icons corresponding to these three APPs in the recommended APP area of dock1 (refer to FIG. 6C ). shown in the recommended APP area 618).

Here is an example to introduce a method for the electronic device 100 to find a category of APP from all the APPs installed on the electronic device 100: the electronic device 100 may store an application category table. The application category table may include categories to which all APPs installed in the electronic device 100 belong. Among them, an APP can have multiple categories. The plurality of categories may be of different levels. For example, a video application may have an entertainment category, a video category. The level of the entertainment category above is higher than that of the video category. For example, the entertainment category may include a video category, and may also include a music category, a game category, and so on. Multiple categories of an APP may also be at the same level. For example, a document editing application may have a learning category, a job category, and a tools category. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific division of APP categories. The above description information of the category of the APP may be included in the application program package of the APP. When an APP is downloaded, the electronic device 100 can determine the category of the APP from the application package of the APP, and add the category of the APP to the application category table. The electronic device 100 may search for all APPs of a category among all APPs installed on the electronic device 100 through the above application category table.

In another possible implementation manner, the aforementioned preset recommendation rule may be to recommend an APP that is often used together with an APP added by the user in the dock.

Please refer to FIG. 7C , which exemplarily shows another recommendation rule provided by the embodiment of the present application.

Multiple APPs may be installed in the electronic device 100 . The electronic device 100 can group the APPs according to the usage time of each APP by the user to obtain multiple APP packs. For the implementation method of obtaining multiple APP packs by the electronic device 100, reference may be made to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7B.

When receiving a user operation of adding APP1 in dock1, the electronic device 100 can search for an APP pack containing APP1 from a plurality of APP packs. Further, the electronic device 100 may determine the APP pack containing the longest usage time of APP1 as the recommendation result according to the usage time of APP1 in each APP pack containing APP1.

Exemplarily, the APP packs including APP1 among the plurality of APP packs are: APP pack1 and APP pack3. The electronic device 100 may compare the usage duration of APP1 in APP pack1 with the usage duration of APP1 in APP pack3. For example, the usage time of APP1 in APP pack1 is 15 minutes. The usage time of APP1 in APP pack3 is 45 minutes. The electronic device 100 may determine that the usage time of APP1 in APP pack3 is longer, and determine APP pack3 as the recommended result.

Wherein, the electronic device 100 may display APP icons corresponding to other APPs in the APP pack3 except APP1 in the recommended APP area of the dock1. Optionally, the electronic device 100 may display APP icons corresponding to some APPs in the APP pack3 except APP1 in the recommended APP area of the dock1. The aforementioned partial APPs may be APPs that are not placed in other existing docks.

That is to say, Y APPs displayed in the recommended APP area of dock1 have an association relationship A with APP1. The association relationship A may belong to the same category. Alternatively, the relationship A may also belong to the same APP pack, that is, the APPs that users often use together. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific content of the above association relationship A.

S704. Receiving a user operation of adding the APP2 icon in the desktop page to the dock1, the electronic device 100 adds the APP2 icon to the added APP area of the dock1.

The APP2 icon on the above desktop page may be, for example, the AA dictionary application icon 619A on the thumbnail desktop page 619 shown in FIG. 6D . The above user operation of adding the APP2 icon to the dock1 may be, for example, a user operation of dragging the APP2 icon to the added APP area of the dock1.

S705. The electronic device 100 determines Z APPs from all the APPs installed on the electronic device 100. These Z APPs have an association relationship B with APP2. The electronic device 100 updates the APP icon in the recommended APP area in the dock1, and corresponds to the above Z APPs. The APP icon of the icon is displayed to the recommended APP area of dock1.

The APP icons corresponding to the Z APPs above may be, for example, the APP icons in the recommended APP area 618 of the dock 615 shown in FIG. 6E .

The method for the electronic device 100 to determine the above Z APPs may refer to the method for the electronic device 100 to determine the Y APPs in step S703. That is to say, the above association relationship B may belong to the same category. Alternatively, the relationship B may also belong to the same APP pack, that is, the APPs that users often use together. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific content of the above association relationship B.

It should be noted that the above step S703 is associated with the above step S702. That is, only when step S702 occurs, the electronic device 100 may proceed to step S703. Likewise, the above step S704 is associated with the above step S705. The above step S702 to the above step S705 are all optional. Moreover, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the execution order of the above step S702 and step S704.

From the method shown in FIG. 7A above, it can be seen that when creating a desktop space, the electronic device 100 can recommend the user to add according to user habits such as multiple APPs that the user often uses together, as well as the APPs added by the user in the dock of the newly created desktop space. To the app of the dock of the new desktop space. The above-mentioned recommended APP is more likely to be the APP that the user wants to add to the dock. This can reduce the time for users to search for apps on the desktop page and drag them to the dock, help users quickly add apps to the dock, and improve the efficiency of building a desktop space that describes a scene.

FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B exemplarily show some other scene diagrams of recommending desktop components in the dock provided by the embodiment of the present application.

In response to a user operation for creating a dock (that is, creating a new desktop space), the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 810 as shown in FIG. 8A . For the above user operations for creating a dock, reference may be made to the user operations shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B , or the user operations shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C . The user interface 810 may include a thumbnail desktop page811 , a thumbnail desktop page812 , a thumbnail desktop page813 , a dock815 and a dock816 .

Wherein, the thumbnail desktop page 811 - the thumbnail desktop page 813 may refer to the thumbnail desktop page 221 - the thumbnail desktop page 223 shown in FIG. 2C. The dock815 may refer to the abbreviated dock228 shown in FIG. 2C above. I won't go into details here.

dock816 is the newly created dock. The dock 816 may include an added APP area 817 and a recommended APP area 818 . For the added APP area 817, reference may be made to the introduction of the aforementioned added APP area 617 shown in FIG. 6A. For the recommended APP area 818, reference may be made to the introduction of the aforementioned recommended APP area 718 shown in FIG. 6A.

The APP icons in the recommended APP area 818 may be selected by the electronic device 100 from the currently completely displayed thumbnail desktop pages.

In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device 100 may display in the recommended APP area 818 an APP icon corresponding to an APP frequently used by the user in a currently displayed desktop page according to the data of the APP used by the user. When detecting a user operation of switching the desktop page, the electronic device 100 may switch the currently displayed desktop page. In addition, the electronic device 100 may update the APP icon in the recommended APP area 818 , and display in the APP area 818 the APP icon corresponding to the APP frequently used by the user in the switched desktop page.

The above-mentioned method for determining frequently used APPs by users in a desktop page may include: determining the longest-used several APPs in a desktop page within a period of time, or determining the most opened several APPs in a desktop page within a period of time wait.

As shown in FIG. 8A , the thumbnail desktop page 812 is a page currently completely displayed on the user interface 810 . The electronic device 100 may determine from the thumbnail desktop page 812 frequently used APPs of the user, such as a contacts application, a dialing application, and an application store application. The electronic device 100 may display icons corresponding to the determined APPs frequently used by the user in the recommended APP area 818 . It can be seen that the recommended APP area 818 may include a contact application icon 818A, a dial application icon 818B, and an application store application icon 818C.

In response to the user operation of sliding to the left on the area where the thumbnail desktop page is located, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 810 shown in FIG. 8B . Wherein, the electronic device 100 may switch the page completely displayed on the user interface 810 to a thumbnail desktop page 813 . The thumbnail desktop page 812 is partially displayed on the left side of the thumbnail desktop page 813 . The thumbnail desktop page 814 is partially displayed on the right side of the thumbnail desktop page 813 . The electronic device 100 can determine from the thumbnail desktop page 813 the APPs frequently used by the user, such as AA chat application, AA game application, and music application. Comparing FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B , it can be seen that the APP icon in the recommended APP area 818 can be updated along with the switching of the thumbnail desktop page. The electronic device 100 may display APP icons corresponding to frequently used APPs by the user in the thumbnail desktop page 813 in the recommended APP area 818 . After the above update, the recommended APP area 818 may include the AA chat application icon 818D, the AA game application icon 818E, and the music application icon 818F.

It can be known from the scenario where the electronic device 100 recommends APPs in the dock that the electronic device 100 can recommend the APPs that the user often uses together, the APPs of the same category as the APPs added by the user in the dock, and the APPs that are often used by the user in the dock. Recommendation rules such as APPs used together, APPs frequently used by users in the currently displayed desktop page, etc., recommend APPs for users in the dock. These recommended apps are more likely to be apps that the user wants to add to the dock. This can reduce the time for users to search for apps on the desktop page and drag them to the dock, help users quickly add apps to the dock, and improve the efficiency of building a desktop space that describes a scene.

In some embodiments, in addition to the dock, a desktop space may also include one or more desktop pages. The electronic device 100 may place some desktop components installed on the electronic device 100 in a page of a desktop space according to the user's selection, and cancel displaying other desktop components in the page of the desktop space. For example, the user may choose to place all desktop components in a scene on the desktop page of a desktop space, and place the most frequently used desktop components in this scene in the dock of this desktop space. In the case of one desktop space, the electronic device can display the desktop page of the one desktop space, and fully display the desktop components in the dock of the one desktop space.

It can be understood that, in the case that a desktop space includes a dock but does not include a desktop page, in response to a user operation of switching the desktop space (such as a user operation of sliding left or right on the area where the dock is located), the electronic device 100 The switched desktop space including the dock can be displayed on the desktop. Among them, the desktop page will not change with the switching of the desktop space. That is, one or more pages can be used to place all desktop components in the electronic device 100 , or place desktop components in all desktop components of the electronic device 100 except the desktop components that have been added to each dock. When the electronic device 100 is in different desktop spaces, the content of the same desktop page is the same.

In the case that a desktop space includes a dock and a desktop page, in response to a user operation of switching the desktop space, the electronic device 100 may display the desktop page and the dock included in the switched desktop space on the desktop. Since the user can select the content placed on the desktop page of one desktop space, the content placed on the desktop page of different desktop spaces may be different. That is, when the electronic device 100 is in different desktop spaces, the contents of the desktop pages may be different.

The following describes a scenario in which the electronic device 100 adjusts a desktop page of a desktop space provided by the embodiment of the present application.

FIG. 9A to FIG. 9F exemplarily show some schematic diagrams of electronic devices 100 adjusting a desktop page of a desktop space.

Added APPs area 924A may be used to place APP icons that have been added to thumbnail dock 924 . Wherein, the APP icon in the added APP area 924A may be a thumbnail corresponding to the APP icon in the dock 912 . The recommended APP area 924B can be used to place the APP icons that the electronic device 100 recommends to be added by the user in the thumbnail dock 924 . For the method for the electronic device 100 to recommend an APP icon in the dock, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments.

Optionally, the thumbnail dock 924 may only include the added APP area 924A, but not the recommended APP area 924B.

The thumbnail desktop page 921 to the thumbnail desktop page 923 may be thumbnail images of desktop pages included in the full amount of desktop space.

The aforementioned total amount of desktop space may be a desktop space including all desktop components in the electronic device 100 . The full desktop space can contain one or more desktop pages. The one or more desktop pages can be arranged in a certain order. One or more desktop pages of the full desktop space can be used to place all desktop components in the electronic device 100, or place desktop components in all desktop components of the electronic device 100 except the desktop components that have been added to each dock. The aforementioned desktop components can be placed on the aforementioned one or more desktop pages according to specified positions. The specified sequence on which the above-mentioned desktop pages are based and the specified positions on which the above-mentioned desktop components are based may be specified by the user or set by the electronic device 100 .

In a possible implementation manner, when entering the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display thumbnails of desktop pages included in the full desktop space, that is, thumbnails of desktop pages included in the full desktop space. The display styles of the desktop components placed on these thumbnail desktop pages may be determined by the desktop components contained in the desktop space where the electronic device 100 is currently located. Wherein, on the thumbnail desktop page included in the full desktop space, the desktop components contained in the desktop space where the electronic device 100 is currently located may have different display styles from those not contained in the desktop space. In this way, when entering the desktop editing state, the user can view all desktop components in the electronic device 100 through the above-mentioned full amount of desktop space. Users can select the desktop components that need to be kept or removed in a desktop space on the thumbnail desktop page included in the full desktop space.

It can be understood that the electronic device 100 creates a blank dock and adds a desktop component to the blank dock, which may indicate that the electronic device 100 has created a new desktop space. This new desktop space is the desktop space to which the above blank dock belongs. When the electronic device 100 newly creates a desktop space, this desktop space may include all desktop components in the electronic device 100 . That is, the desktop pages contained in this one desktop space can be the same as the desktop pages contained in the entire desktop space. The user can remove the desktop components included in this desktop space, so that only the desktop components in one scene are placed on the desktop page of this desktop space. For example, when the user wants to create a learning desktop space corresponding to the learning scene, the electronic device 100 may newly create a desktop space, and remove the desktop component from the newly created desktop space in response to the user operation of removing the desktop component by the user, so that Only the desktop components in the learning scene can be placed on the desktop page contained in the newly created desktop space.

Exemplarily, in FIG. 9B , the thumbnail dock completely displayed in the user interface 920 is the thumbnail dock 924 . The electronic device 100 is currently in the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock 924 belongs. The removal operation performed by the user on the thumbnail desktop page (such as the thumbnail desktop page 922 ) of the full desktop space can be used to remove the desktop component from the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock 924 belongs.

In response to the user operation of sliding to the left on the area where the thumbnail desktop page is located as shown in FIG. 9B , the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 920 shown in FIG. 9C . Wherein, the electronic device 100 switches the thumbnail desktop page completely displayed on the user interface 920 to the thumbnail desktop page 923 on the right side of the thumbnail desktop page 922 . It can be seen from FIG. 9B and FIG. 9C that all the desktop components in the thumbnail desktop page922 and the thumbnail desktop page923 are not removed from the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock924 belongs. After exiting the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display all desktop components contained in the thumbnail desktop page922 and the thumbnail desktop page923 on the desktop of the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock924 belongs.

As shown in FIG. 9C, in response to user operations for removing the music application icon, the video application icon, the AA game application icon, the BB game application icon, and the AA music application icon, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface shown in FIG. 9D 920. Wherein, the user operation for removing a desktop component may be, for example, a touch operation or a click operation on the desktop component when the electronic device 100 is in a desktop editing state. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the above user operation for removing a desktop component.

As shown in FIG. 9D , the electronic device 100 can display the removed desktop components (such as music application icons, video application icons, AA game application icons) in the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock 924 belongs on the thumbnail desktop page 923 in a removed display style. , BB game application icon and AA music application icon), and display the desktop components contained in the desktop space to which the dock924 belongs (such as the clock application icon, etc.) in an unremoved display style. The above-mentioned removed display style may be a display style that grayscales the desktop component. The above-mentioned non-removed display style may be a non-grayscale display style of a desktop component such as a clock application icon. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the above removed display style. The above-mentioned removed display style and non-removed display style can be used to facilitate the user to distinguish between the retained desktop components and the removed desktop components in this desktop space when adjusting the desktop page of a desktop space.

In response to the user operation of exiting the desktop editing state shown in FIG. 9D , such as a touch operation on the thumbnail desktop page 923 , the electronic device 100 may exit the desktop editing state and display the desktop 910 shown in FIG. 9E . Desktop 910 may include desktop page 914 , page indicator 913 and dock 912 . Desktop page914 and dock912 belong to the same desktop space. The thumbnail of the desktop page 914 may be the thumbnail desktop page 923 shown in FIG. 9D .

As can be seen from FIG. 9E , after the user operation of removing the desktop component shown in FIG. 9C , the electronic device 100 removes the desktop component displayed in the removed display style on the thumbnail desktop page 923 shown in FIG. 9D from the desktop page 914 . remove. In the desktop page 914, the positions where these removed desktop components were originally displayed can be empty. That is to say, the user operation shown in FIG. 9C to remove the desktop component can remove the desktop component from the desktop space to which the desktop page914 belongs.

In response to the user operation of switching the desktop space shown in FIG. 9E , for example, the user operation of sliding right on the area where the dock is located, the electronic device 100 may display the desktop 910 shown in FIG. 9F . In FIG. 9F , desktop 910 may include desktop page 915 , page indicator 913 , and dock 916 .

Wherein, the electronic device 100 can switch from the desktop space to which dock912 belongs to the desktop space to which dock916 belongs. The desktop page915 is the desktop page included in the desktop space to which the dock916 belongs. The desktop components placed on the desktop page915 are the desktop components included in the desktop space to which the desktop page915 belongs. It can be seen that the desktop space to which dock916 belongs may contain the removed desktop components in the desktop space to which dock912 belongs. The desktop space to which dock916 belongs may also contain desktop components contained in the desktop space to which dock912 belongs. That is, the two desktop spaces can be independent of each other, and the desktop components contained in each do not affect each other.

Comparing FIG. 9E and FIG. 9F , it can be seen that when the desktop space is switched, the electronic device 100 can display on the desktop 910 the desktop page (such as desktop page 915 ) and the dock (such as dock 915 ) contained in the switched desktop space. The number of indicators contained in the page indicator 913 in FIG. 9E and the page indicator 913 in FIG. 9F are the same, and the indicator in the selected state is the third indicator on the left. This may indicate that the desktop page 914 in FIG. 9E and the desktop page 915 in FIG. 9F are the same desktop page among the desktop pages included in the full desktop space, for example, desktop pageA. The difference is that, in the desktop space to which dock912 belongs in FIG. 9E , some desktop components in the desktop pageA are removed. In the desktop space to which dock916 in FIG. 9F belongs, none of the desktop components in the desktop pageA has been removed. That is to say, when the electronic device 100 is in different desktop spaces, the desktop components placed on the same desktop page in the entire desktop space may be different.

From the scenes shown in Figure 9A to Figure 9F above, after creating a desktop space, users can not only place the desktop components they use most frequently in the dock of this desktop space, but also adjust the Desktop components placed on the desktop page of the desktop space. For example, the user can remove the desktop components that are not needed or seen in this scenario from the desktop page of this desktop space. The above-mentioned user operation of removing the desktop component from the desktop page is also relatively simple. For example, the user only needs to trigger the electronic device 100 to enter the desktop editing state, and then click the desired desktop component to be removed. Then, the desktop page of a desktop space can only place all the desktop components that the user needs to use in one scene, and the dock of this desktop space can place the desktop components that the user uses most in this scene.

The electronic device 100 may display a desktop page and a dock of a desktop space in a period of time. This can simplify the content presented on the desktop, and facilitate users to quickly find desktop components in a scene. When the user wants to focus on a scene, the user may trigger the electronic device 100 to be in the desktop space corresponding to the scene. Users can only view the desktop components that need to be used in this scenario, and can quickly find and open the most frequently used desktop components in this scenario through the dock. This can help users focus on one scene, and reduce the situation that desktop components in other scenes interrupt the user's focus on this one scene. The user operation for switching between different desktop spaces is also relatively simple. For example, the user may only need to perform a user operation of sliding left or right in the area where the dock is located, that is, to quickly switch between different desktop spaces.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can also add back the removed desktop components in a desktop space.

Exemplarily, in response to a user operation on the desktop 910 shown in FIG. 9E for triggering the electronic device 100 to enter the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 920 shown in FIG. 9D . That is to say, when the desktop component is removed from a desktop space, and the electronic device 100 is in the state of exiting desktop editing, the desktop component displayed by the electronic device 100 on the desktop page of this desktop space does not include the aforementioned Removed desktop components. However, when the electronic device 100 is in the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 can display a thumbnail desktop page of the full desktop space (that is, the electronic device 100 can display the above-mentioned removed desktop components on the thumbnail desktop page).

The music application icon, video application icon, AA game application icon, BB game application icon and AA music application icon shown in FIG. 9D are desktop components removed from the desktop space to which dock912 belongs. In response to a user operation acting on any of the removed desktop components in FIG. 9D , such as a touch operation or a click operation, the electronic device may change the display style of this desktop component from a removed display style to an unremoved one. Display styles. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the above-mentioned unremoved display styles. When exiting the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display the above-mentioned desktop component whose display style has been changed to a display style that has not been removed on the desktop page of the desktop space to which the dock 912 belongs. That is, this desktop component is added back to the desktop space to which dock912 belongs.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may remove one or more desktop pages from the desktop space to which they belong, in units of desktop pages. If a desktop page is removed from a desktop space, the desktop components placed on this desktop page are also removed from this desktop space.

FIGS. 10A to 10D exemplarily show some other electronic devices 100 schematic diagrams of adjusting a desktop page of a desktop space.

As shown in FIG. 10A , the electronic device 100 may be in a desktop editing state, displaying a user interface 920 . For the content in the user interface 920, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments. The user interface 920 can include a page add/remove component 1011 .

The page adding/removing component 1011 can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to add or remove a thumbnail desktop page completely displayed in the middle of the user interface 920 in a desktop space. The page add/remove component 1011 can have different display states. Different display states of the page adding/removing component 1011 can be used to indicate whether the corresponding thumbnail desktop page is removed in a desktop space. The corresponding abbreviated desktop page may be a fully displayed abbreviated desktop page on the current user interface.

For example, the display state of the page add/remove component 1011 may include an add state and a remove state. The added state of the page adding/removing component 1011 may indicate that the corresponding thumbnail desktop page has not been removed in a desktop space. That is, this desktop space includes the corresponding thumbnail desktop page. When the page adding/removing component 1011 is in the adding state, the electronic device 100 may respond to a user operation acting on the page adding/removing component 1011, such as a touch operation, to change the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 to move. delete status. The page adding/removing component 1011 being in the removed state may indicate that the corresponding thumbnail desktop page is removed in a desktop space. That is, this desktop space does not include the corresponding thumbnail desktop page. When the page adding/removing component 1011 is in the removed state, the electronic device 100 may change the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 to the added state in response to a user operation acting on the page adding/removing component 1011 .

The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific display style of the page adding/removing component 1011 in the added state or the removed state.

The aforementioned abbreviated desktop page may indicate that a desktop space is not removed, and in the case of exiting the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display the desktop page corresponding to the abbreviated desktop page when it is in the desktop space. The thumbnail desktop page may be a thumbnail of a desktop page corresponding to the thumbnail desktop page. An abbreviated desktop page being removed from a desktop space may indicate that the desktop page displayed by the electronic device 100 in this desktop space does not include the desktop page corresponding to the abbreviated desktop page when the desktop editing state is exited. .

Exemplarily, the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 shown in FIG. 10A is the adding state. When the thumbnail desktop page fully displayed on the user interface 920 is switched, the display status of the page adding/removing component 1011 may also be switched accordingly. The display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 after switching may indicate whether the fully displayed thumbnail desktop page is removed from the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock 924 belongs after the above-mentioned thumbnail desktop page is switched. For example, in response to a user operation of sliding left on the area where the thumbnail desktop page is located, the electronic device 100 may move the thumbnail desktop page 923 to the left to the middle of the user interface 920 to completely display the thumbnail desktop page 923 . Then, the electronic device 100 may determine the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 according to whether the thumbnail desktop page 923 is removed from the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock 924 belongs. If the thumbnail desktop page 923 is not removed from the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock 924 belongs, the electronic device 100 can still display the page adding/removing component 1011 in the added state.

In response to a user operation acting on the page adding/removing component 1011 , such as a touch operation, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 920 shown in FIG. 10B .

Comparing FIG. 10A with FIG. 10B, it can be seen that when a user operation acting on the page adding/removing component 1011 in the adding state is detected, the electronic device 100 can change the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 from the adding state to the one shown in FIG. 10B The removal status shown. The display styles in which the page adding/removing component 1011 is in the adding state and the removing state may be display styles having the same pattern but different colors.

In addition, the electronic device 100 may also switch the display style of all desktop components in the thumbnail desktop page 922 to the removed display style. For the display style of desktop component removal, reference may be made to the introduction of the foregoing embodiments.

In some embodiments, when the user manually removes all desktop components placed on a thumbnail desktop page from a desktop space, the electronic device 100 may add/remove a page indicating the thumbnail desktop page The display state of the component is determined to be removed.

As shown in FIG. 10B , in response to a user operation of exiting the desktop editing state, such as a touch operation on a blank area on the thumbnail desktop page 922 , the electronic device 100 may display the desktop 910 shown in FIG. 10C . For the specific content of the desktop 910, reference may be made to the introduction of the aforementioned FIG. 9E.

It can be seen from FIG. 10C that the electronic device 100 is in the desktop space to which the dock 912 belongs. The above-mentioned desktop space to which dock912 belongs is the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock924 shown in FIG. 10B belongs.

The page indicator 1022 shown in FIG. 10C may indicate the positional relationship between various desktop pages included in the desktop space to which the dock 912 belongs. The page indicator 1022 may include four indicators: the leftmost indicator indicating one screen negative, and the right three indicators indicating the desktop page where desktop components such as APP icons are placed. Before going through the process of removing the desktop page shown in FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B , when the electronic device 100 is in the desktop space to which the dock 912 belongs, the page indicators on the desktop may include 5 indicators: the leftmost one indicates minus one screen, and four indicators on the right side indicating the desktop page on which desktop components such as APP icons are placed (refer to the page indicator 913 shown in FIG. 9A ). It can be seen from the comparison that after the process of removing the desktop page shown in FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B , one indicator indicating the desktop page on which desktop components such as APP icons are placed is reduced in the page indicator 1022 . That is to say, the desktop space to which dock912 belongs includes one less desktop page.

The electronic device 100 may display the desktop page included in the desktop space to which the dock 912 belongs on the desktop 910 . Wherein, the desktop page 914 is the desktop page 914 corresponding to the thumbnail desktop page 923 shown in FIG. 10B . In response to the user operation shown in FIG. 10C for switching between different desktop pages in one desktop space, for example, the user operation of sliding right on the area where the desktop page is located, the electronic device 100 may display a negative screen 930 shown in FIG. 10D . It can be understood that after the process of removing the desktop page shown in FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B , the electronic device 100 will replace a desktop page that originally existed between the desktop page 914 and the negative screen 930 (that is, the thumbnail desktop page 922 shown in FIG. 10B corresponds to desktop page), removed from the desktop space to which dock912 belongs. This is equivalent to removing all desktop components on the thumbnail desktop page922 from the desktop space to which the dock912 belongs.

It can be seen from the embodiments shown in FIGS. 10A to 10D that the user can remove all desktop components placed in a desktop page from a desktop space. In the scenario where a desktop space is newly created and a large number of desktop components in the entire desktop space are removed from the newly created desktop space, the user can quickly remove multiple desktop components through the above method of removing the desktop page. In this way, the user can remove the desktop components that need to be removed from the desktop space one by one without performing multiple user operations. The above method can improve the efficiency of the user in removing desktop components, and facilitate the user to batch adjust the desktop components contained in a desktop space.

In some embodiments, in response to a user operation on the desktop 910 shown in FIG. 10C for triggering the electronic device 100 to enter the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 920 shown in FIG. 9D . Wherein, when the electronic device 100 is in the desktop editing state, the user can view various thumbnail desktop pages in the full desktop space by sliding left or right on the area where the thumbnail desktop page is located. That is to say, after a desktop page is removed from a desktop space, the user can still view the thumbnail of the desktop page removed from the desktop space when the electronic device 100 is in the desktop editing state. This can facilitate the user to add the removed desktop page back to this desktop space through page adding/removing components.

In some embodiments, after a desktop page is removed from a desktop space, the electronic device 100 may also add one or more desktop components placed on the desktop page back to the desktop space.

11A to 11C exemplarily show some other electronic devices 100 schematic diagrams of adjusting a desktop page of a desktop space.

For the user interface 920, reference may be made to the introduction of the aforementioned FIG. 10B. Wherein, the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 is the removed state. The page adding/removing component 1011 being in the removed state may indicate that the thumbnail desktop page 922 is removed in the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock 924 belongs. All desktop components placed on the thumbnail desktop page922 are displayed with the removed display style.

In response to a user operation, such as a touch operation, on the dialing application icon, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 920 shown in FIG. 11B . Wherein, the electronic device 100 changes the display style of the dialing application icon from the removed display style shown in FIG. 11A to the non-removed display style shown in FIG. 11B . The display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 can still be a removed state.

In some embodiments, after a thumbnail desktop page is removed, if the display style of some desktop components placed on the thumbnail desktop page changes from the removed display style to the non-removed display style, the electronic device 100 may not change the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011. That is, the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 is still in the removed state. The user operation of adding/removing the component 1011 on the page in the removed state can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to display the desktop components whose display style is still the removed display style in the above-mentioned abbreviated desktop page as unremoved The style is displayed. And, the electronic device 100 may change the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 from a removed state to an added state.

In some embodiments, after a thumbnail desktop page is removed, if among the desktop components placed on the thumbnail desktop page, the display style of one or more desktop components changes from the removed display style to the For the removed display style, the electronic device 100 may change the display state of the page adding/removing component 1011 from the removed state to the added state. The user operation of adding/removing the component 1011 on the page in the added state can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to change the desktop component whose display style is the unremoved display style in the above-mentioned abbreviated desktop page to the removed display style again. show.

As shown in FIG. 11B , in response to a user operation for exiting the desktop editing state, such as a touch operation on a blank area of the thumbnail desktop page 922 , the electronic device 100 may display the desktop 910 shown in FIG. 11C . The desktop 910 may include a desktop page1111 and a dock912. page1111 and dock912 can belong to one desktop space. This desktop space is also the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock924 shown in FIG. 9B belongs.

The desktop page 1111 may be the desktop page corresponding to the thumbnail desktop page 922 shown in FIG. 11B . Wherein, among the desktop components on the thumbnail desktop page 922, only the dialer application icon is displayed in an unremoved display style. Then, the electronic device 100 may place only the dialing application icon on the desktop page1111.

In the aforementioned scenarios shown in FIG. 9A and FIG. 11C , the electronic device 100 is in the desktop space to which the dock 912 belongs. The desktop page 911 shown in FIG. 9A and the desktop page 1111 shown in FIG. 11C correspond to the same desktop page in the full desktop space. Comparing Fig. 9A and Fig. 11C, it can be seen that after removing the thumbnail desktop page 922 shown in Fig. 10A and adding the dialing application back to the desktop space to which the dock 912 belongs as shown in Fig. The desktop components are all removed from the desktop space to which dock912 belongs.

As can be seen from the embodiments shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C , after a desktop page is removed from a desktop space, the user can also manually add some desktop components on the desktop page back to the desktop space. Then, when a desktop page contains a large number of desktop components, and only a few desktop components are what the user wants to store in a desktop space, the user can remove all the desktops in this desktop page first by removing the desktop page. Components are removed from this desktop space at one time, and then a few desktop components in this desktop page that want to be stored in this desktop space are manually added back to this desktop component. The above method can improve the efficiency of the user in removing desktop components, and facilitate the user to batch adjust the desktop components contained in a desktop space.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may remove one or more desktop pages from the desktop space to which they belong without switching the desktop pages.

Desktop components belonging to the same scene. The above method can help the user efficiently construct a desktop space describing a scene, and the user does not need to manually remove desktop components one by one.

Please refer to FIG. 13C . FIG. 13C exemplarily shows a flow chart of a method for electronic device 100 to adjust a desktop component in a desktop space according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 13C , the method for adjusting a desktop component may include steps S1310-S1350. in:

S1310. The electronic device 100 receives a user operation acting on the automatic selection component.

For the above-mentioned user operations acting on the automatic selection component, reference may be made to the introduction of the aforementioned FIG. 13A .

S1320. The electronic device 100 may determine whether the added desktop component is included in the dock of the desktop space A, where the desktop space A is the desktop space where the electronic device 100 is currently located.

In response to the user operation on the automatic selection component in step S1310, the electronic device 100 may determine the current desktop space. The current desktop space may be the desktop space to which the fully displayed dock on the current user interface belongs. For example, the electronic device 100 determines that the current desktop space is desktop space A. The electronic device 100 may determine whether there is a desktop component in the added APP area of the dock of the desktop space A.

S1330. The electronic device 100 may determine, from the desktop component group A, desktop components that belong to the same scene as the added desktop components in the dock of the desktop space A, and the desktop component group A includes one or more desktop components.

If it is determined that there is a desktop component in the added APP area of the dock of the desktop space A, the electronic device 100 can determine the scene corresponding to the desktop space A. For example, if the added desktop component in the dock of the desktop space A is a desktop component in an entertainment scene, the electronic device 100 can determine that the desktop space A corresponds to an entertainment scene. That is, the user wants to construct the desktop space A as an entertainment desktop space describing an entertainment scene. Then, only the desktop components in the entertainment scene can be placed on the desktop page included in the entertainment desktop space.

The electronic device 100 may determine a range to adjust the desktop components of the desktop space A according to the added desktop components in the dock of the desktop space A. The adjustment range may be the above-mentioned desktop component group A. In some embodiments, the desktop components included in the above desktop component group A may be: all desktop components on a fully displayed thumbnail desktop page (eg, thumbnail desktop page 1212 shown in FIG. 13A ) on the current user interface. In some other embodiments, the desktop components included in the above desktop component group A may be: the desktop components manually added or removed by the user after entering the desktop editing state on the abbreviated desktop page completely displayed on the current user interface External desktop components. In some other embodiments, the desktop components contained in the above desktop component group A may be: desktop components contained in the global desktop space. This application tries not to limit the desktop components contained in the above desktop component group A.

The electronic device 100 may determine from the desktop component group A the desktop components that belong to the same scene as the desktop components added to the dock of the desktop space A.

Please refer to FIG. 13D . FIG. 13D exemplarily shows a flowchart of a method for the electronic device 100 to determine from the desktop component group A a desktop component belonging to the same scene as the desktop component added in the dock of the desktop space A.

As shown in FIG. 13D , the method may include steps S1331-S1333. in:

S1331. The electronic device 100 may determine the categories to which the added desktop components in the dock of the desktop space A belong, for example category 1 and category 2.

The electronic device 100 may determine the category to which the desktop component belongs through the application category table. For the specific process, reference may be made to the introduction about the application category table in the foregoing embodiments. I won't go into details here.

Exemplarily, the electronic device 100 determines that the categories of the added desktop components in the dock of the desktop space A belong to category 1 and category 2 .

S1332. The electronic device 100 may determine a category related to category 1 and category 2, such as category 3. The above-mentioned related categories may include: categories having a containment relationship, and categories that can assist each other in a scene.

The electronic device 100 may determine categories related to category 1 and category 2 in the application category table. For example, the categories related to category 1 and category 2 in the application category table include category 3 .

The above related categories may include: categories with containment relationship, categories that can assist each other in a scene. Wherein, the above-mentioned categories having a containment relationship may indicate that one category contains another category. For example, the entertainment category includes a music category, a game category, and the like. Then, the entertainment category has a containment relationship with the music category. The entertainment category also has an inclusion relationship with the game category. The aforementioned categories that can assist each other in a scenario may be represented in a usage scenario of desktop components of one category, and desktop components of another category may provide auxiliary functions. For example, the video category and the screen projection category may be categories that can assist each other in one scene. Wherein, when the user uses the desktop component of the video category to play a video, the user may need to use the desktop component of the screen projection category to project the played video to other display devices. The sports category and the music category may be categories that can assist each other in one scene. Wherein, the user may need to use the desktop component of the music category to listen to music when using the desktop component of the sports category to exercise. For another example, the tourism category and the accommodation category may be categories that can assist each other in one scene. Wherein, when the user uses the desktop component of the tourism category to view tourist attractions, he may need to use the desktop component of the accommodation category to book a hotel at the location of the tourist attraction.

The embodiment of the present application does not limit the correlation between categories of desktop components.

S1333. The electronic device 100 may determine the desktop components belonging to category 1, category 2, and category 3 in the desktop component group A, wherein the desktop components belonging to any one of category 1, category 2, and category 3 in the desktop component group A are related to the desktop The added desktop components in the dock of space A belong to the same scene.

It can be understood that the desktop components in the desktop component group A that do not belong to any one of category 1, category 2, and category 3 do not belong to the same scene as the desktop components that have been added to the dock of the desktop space A.

Wherein, the above step S1332 is optional. The electronic device 100 may also determine the desktop components belonging to any one of category 1 and category 2 in the desktop component group A as desktop components belonging to the same scene as the desktop components added in the dock of the desktop space A.

It can be seen from the method shown in FIG. 13D that the electronic device 100 can determine whether different desktop components belong to the same scene by judging whether the categories of the desktop components are the same. For example, the electronic device 100 can determine whether the category of a desktop component is the same as that of a desktop component added in a dock. If they are the same, the electronic device 100 may determine that this desktop component belongs to the same scene as the desktop component added in this dock. If not, the electronic device 100 may determine that this desktop component does not belong to the same scene as the desktop component added in this dock. Optionally, if the categories of the two desktop components are not the same, the electronic device 100 may also determine whether the two desktop components belong to the same scene by judging whether the categories of the two desktop components are related. For example, the electronic device 100 may determine whether a category of a desktop component is related to a category of a desktop component added in a dock. If relevant, the electronic device 100 may determine that this desktop component belongs to the same scene as the desktop component added in this dock. If the category of a desktop component is neither the same as nor related to the category of a desktop component added in a dock, the electronic device 100 may determine that the desktop component and the added desktop component in a dock do not belong to the same scene.

Not limited to the above method shown in FIG. 13D , the electronic device 100 may also use other methods to determine whether a desktop component and a desktop component added in a dock belong to the same scene.

S1340. The electronic device 100 may prompt to add a desktop component to the dock of the desktop space A.

If it is determined that there is no desktop component in the added APP area of the dock in the desktop space A, the electronic device 100 may prompt the user to add a desktop component in the dock. Understandably, if there is no added desktop component in the dock of desktop space A, the electronic device 100 cannot determine the scene corresponding to the desktop space A, and thus cannot help the user adjust the desktop component on the desktop page of desktop space A.

S1350. The electronic device 100 may remove the desktop components in the desktop component group A that do not belong to the same scene as the desktop components added in the dock of the desktop space A from the desktop space A, and remove the The added desktop components in the dock belong to the desktop components of the same scene and are determined as the desktop components included in the desktop space A.

Wherein, when in the desktop editing state shown in FIG. 13B , the electronic device 100 may determine the display style of the desktop components in the desktop component group A that do not belong to the same scene as the desktop components that have been added in the dock of the desktop space A to be removed. The display style of . If the display style of the aforementioned desktop components that do not belong to the same scene is originally the removed display style, the electronic device 100 keeps the display style of the desktop component as the removed display style. If the display styles of the aforementioned desktop components that do not belong to the same scene are originally the non-removed display styles, the electronic device 100 changes the display styles of the desktop components from the non-removed display styles to the removed display styles. The electronic device 100 may determine the display style of the desktop component in the desktop component group A that belongs to the same scene as the added desktop component in the dock of the desktop space A as the display style that has not been removed. If the display style of the aforementioned desktop components belonging to the same scene is originally the non-removed display style, the electronic device 100 keeps the display style of the desktop component as the non-removed display style. If the display style of the aforementioned desktop components belonging to the same scene is the removed display style, the electronic device 100 may change the display style of the desktop component from the removed display style to the non-removed display style.

When exiting the desktop editing state, the desktop components displayed by the electronic device 100 on the desktop page of the desktop space A may include the aforementioned desktop components belonging to the same scene, and not include the aforementioned desktop components not belonging to the same scene.

It can be known from the above method that when in a desktop space, the electronic device 100 can filter out for the user on the desktop page of this desktop space, the desktop components that belong to the same scene as the desktop components added in the dock of this desktop space. The electronic device 100 may retain the desktop components that belong to the same scene as the desktop components that have been added in the dock of this desktop space in this desktop space, and remove the desktop components that are different from the desktop components that have been added in the dock of this desktop space.

In response to a user operation for removing desktop components from desktop space A, the electronic device 100 may remove some desktop components in desktop page1 , desktop page2 , and desktop page3 from desktop space A. When in the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display the above-mentioned removed desktop components in a removed display style on the thumbnail desktop pages corresponding to the desktop page1, desktop page2, and desktop page3.

It can be seen from Fig. 14D that after the above-mentioned user operation of removing desktop components, the remaining desktop components in desktop space A may include: 6 desktop components that have not been removed on desktop page1, and 6 desktop components that have not been removed on desktop page2 5 desktop components. All desktop components on desktop page3 are removed from desktop space A. The electronic device 100 may rearrange the unremoved desktop components in all desktop pages (ie, the remaining desktop components in the desktop space A) to obtain the desktop page 4 shown in FIG. 14D .

Wherein, since the number of the remaining desktop components in the desktop space A does not exceed the maximum number of desktop components that can be placed on a desktop page, the electronic device 100 can place the remaining desktop components in the desktop space A on the desktop page 4 in order from left to right , and place them one by one in order from top to bottom. If the number of remaining desktop components in desktop space A exceeds the maximum number of desktop components that can be placed on a desktop page, the electronic device 100 can place the unplaced desktop components in desktop space A after a desktop page is full. The desktop components on this desktop page are placed in another desktop page.

In a possible implementation manner, when the electronic device 100 places the unremoved desktop components in all desktop pages on the desktop page4, the electronic device 100 can follow the steps from left to right and from top to bottom on the desktop page4. In the following position order, the unremoved desktop components on desktop page1 are placed first, and then the unremoved desktop components on desktop page2 are placed. The desktop page1 may be the previous desktop page of the desktop page2. The desktop page2 may be the previous desktop page of the desktop page3. Desktop page1 is a previous desktop page of desktop page2, which can indicate that when displaying desktop page1, electronic device 100 can display desktop page2 in response to the user operation of sliding to the left to switch desktop pages (that is, desktop page1 is located on the left side of desktop page2).

Optionally, during the process of placing the unremoved desktop components on the desktop page1 on the desktop page4, the electronic device 100 may place these desktop components on the desktop page4 according to the sequence in which the desktop components are displayed on the desktop page1. Wherein, the order in which the desktop components are displayed on the desktop page 1 can be expressed that the display order of the upper desktop components in the desktop page 1 is prior to the display order of the lower desktop components in the desktop page 1, and the display order of the left desktop components in the desktop page 1 is The order of is prior to the order displayed by the desktop components on the right side of the desktop page1. The process of placing the unremoved desktop components on the desktop page2 by the electronic device 100 may refer to the above-mentioned process of placing the unremoved desktop components on the desktop page1.

It can be understood that, if the electronic device 100 does not rearrange the desktop components in the desktop space, the removed desktop components will leave vacancies on the desktop page. These slots waste desktop space and are not aesthetically pleasing. The electronic device 100 may adjust the positions of the desktop components contained in the desktop space on the desktop page according to the above-mentioned rearrangement manner on all pages, so as to make the desktop layout more compact.

It can be seen from FIG. 14D that all the desktop components included in the desktop space A can be displayed on a desktop page (ie, desktop page4). This can facilitate the user to view the desktop components of a desktop space, and avoid the situation that the desktop components contained in a desktop space are scattered in different desktop pages, and the user needs to switch desktop pages back and forth to find the desktop components. Moreover, after removing a desktop component in a desktop space, the electronic device 100 may automatically adjust the position of the desktop component on the desktop page for the user. In this way, the user does not need to manually sort and move the desktop components scattered on multiple desktop pages to one desktop page one by one.

(2) The sorting method is only rearranged on the current page

In a possible implementation manner, when the desktop components contained in a desktop space are adjusted (such as removed, added), the electronic device 100 can display the unremoved desktops in each desktop page contained in a desktop space Components are placed one by one on the corresponding desktop page in order of position from left to right and from top to bottom. After the position of the desktop components on the desktop page is adjusted according to the above-mentioned sorting method of rearranging only on the current page, there is no space between any two adjacent desktop components where one or more desktop components can be placed. Moreover, only the desktop components that have not been removed from the desktop page can be placed in a desktop page.

Please refer to FIG. 14E . FIG. 14E exemplarily shows a process in which the electronic device 100 adjusts the positions of desktop components in a sorting manner that only rearranges on the current page.

As shown in FIG. 14E , desktop space A includes desktop page1-desktop page3. For the process that the electronic device 100 removes some desktop components in the desktop page1, desktop page2, and desktop page3 in the desktop space A, reference may be made to the introduction of the embodiment shown in FIG. 14D above. After the above user operation of removing desktop components, there are 6 unremoved desktop components on desktop page1, 5 unremoved desktop components on desktop page2, and all desktop components in desktop page3 are removed.

The electronic device 100 may place the unremoved desktop components in the desktop page1 one by one from left to right and from top to bottom on the desktop page1. Wherein, the electronic device 100 can place the unremoved desktop components in the desktop page1 on the desktop page1 according to the order in which the desktop components are displayed on the desktop page1, so that there is no place between any two adjacent desktop components. Empty slots for several desktop components. For the method for the electronic device 100 to adjust the unremoved desktop components in the desktop page2 on the desktop page2, reference may be made to the above-mentioned method for adjusting the unremoved desktop components in the desktop page1 on the desktop page1.

The desktop components in the desktop page3 are all removed, which may be equivalent to the removal of the desktop page3 in the desktop space A. When the electronic device 100 is in the desktop space A, the desktop pages displayed may include desktop page1 and desktop page2, but not desktop page3.

It can be seen from FIG. 14E that the electronic device 100 can adjust the desktop components on each desktop page included in a desktop space, so that the layout of the unremoved desktop components in a desktop page is more compact in this desktop page. Moreover, after removing a desktop component in a desktop space, the electronic device 100 may automatically adjust the positions of the desktop component on each desktop page for the user. In this way, the user does not need to sort manually, and arranges the scattered desktop components on a desktop page compactly and neatly.

As shown in FIG. 14C , in response to a user operation acting on the sorting mode B selection component 1443 , the electronic device 100 may determine the status of the sorting mode B selection component 1443 as a selected state. Further, in response to the user operation acting on the return component 1441, the electronic device 100 may display the user operation described in FIG. 14B. Wherein, the desktop component sorting setting component 1424 may include the sorting manner of the desktop components currently used by the electronic device 100 .

It can be understood that, after the user operation of selecting the sorting mode to be rearranged only on the current page as shown in FIG. The rearranged sort method changes to the rearranged sort method only on the current page.

Further, when exiting the desktop editing state, the electronic device 100 may display the desktop 1450 shown in FIG. 14F . The desktop 1450 may include a desktop page1451 and a dock1452. The electronic device 100 is currently in the desktop space to which the dock 1452 belongs.

Wherein, the electronic device 100 can adjust the position of the unremoved desktop components in the thumbnail desktop page 1411 shown in FIG. 14A according to the aforementioned sorting method of rearranging only on the current page, to obtain the desktop page 1451 shown in FIG. 14F .

The positions of the desktop components on the desktop page 914 shown in FIG. 9E are not adjusted by the electronic device 100 . Comparing the desktop page 914 shown in FIG. 9E with the desktop page 1451 shown in FIG. 14F , it can be seen that the position where the removed desktop component was originally displayed in the desktop page 914 is a vacancy. The unremoved desktop components in the desktop page914 are distributed in scattered positions, which affects the beauty of the desktop. The positions of the desktop components that have not been removed in the desktop page 1451 are adjusted by the electronic device 100, and the distribution positions are relatively compact.

In some embodiments, after the electronic device 100 adjusts the positions of the desktop components placed on the desktop page according to a preset arrangement order, the electronic device 100 can still display a thumbnail desktop page with full desktop space when entering the desktop editing state again. The display style of the desktop components on the thumbnail desktop page may be determined by the desktop components contained in the desktop space where the electronic device 100 is currently located. That is, the position of the desktop component of a desktop space on the desktop page is changed without affecting the position of the desktop component on the thumbnail desktop page in the desktop editing state. Optionally, the position of the desktop component on the thumbnail desktop page in the desktop editing state may also be changed as the position of the desktop component on the desktop page changes after exiting the desktop editing state.

In some embodiments, a desktop space may include a dock for placing resident desktop components and a dock for placing recently used desktop components. The desktop components in the dock where the resident desktop components are placed and the desktop components in the dock where the most recently used desktop components are placed are desktop components included in the aforementioned one desktop space.

Specifically, during the process of creating a desktop space, the electronic device 100 may first display a blank dock for placing resident desktop components. Users can add desktop components to this blank dock where resident desktop components are placed. When a desktop space is created, the electronic device 100 may display on the desktop a dock for placing resident desktop components and a dock for recently used desktop components in this desktop space when it is in the desktop space.

Wherein, the electronic device 100 may determine which desktop components are recently used in this desktop space, and place the recently used desktop components in this desktop space in the dock where the recently used desktop components are placed in this desktop space. When the desktop space is switched, the electronic device 100 may change the desktop component in the dock where the most recently used desktop component is placed to the most recently used desktop component in the desktop space after switching.

In some embodiments, a desktop space may also include a negative screen. The negative screen of a desktop space may contain relevant content of the desktop component in this desktop space. The relevant content of the above-mentioned desktop component may include the entry of one or more functions in the desktop component (such as the bus card in the wallet APP), the running status of the desktop component, the message notification of the desktop component, and so on. That is to say, the negative one screen in the electronic device 100 can be switched along with the switching of the desktop space. When the desktop space is switched, the electronic device 100 may display a negative screen of the desktop space after switching.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can project a single desktop space to other display devices. The above display device may be an electronic device with a display screen.

15A to 15D exemplarily show schematic diagrams of scenarios where the electronic device 100 projects a desktop space to the display device 200 .

As shown in FIG. 15A , the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 1410 . For the user interface 1410, reference may be made to the introduction of the aforementioned FIG. 14B. A scene setting box 1420 and a thumbnail dock 1412 may be included in the user interface 1410 . The scene setting box 1420 can include a screen casting component 1422 .

In response to user operations acting on the screen casting component 1422 , the electronic device 100 may search for display devices available for screen casting, and display a device option box 1510 shown in FIG. 15B on the user interface 1410 . The device option box 1510 may include a device option display area 1511 , a search component 1512 and a cancel component 1513 . in:

The device option display area 1511 may contain device options corresponding to one or more display devices. For example, display device 200 option, display device 201 option, display device 202 option. The one or more display devices may be searched by the electronic device 100 . In response to a user operation on a corresponding device option of any display device, the electronic device 100 may project the desktop space to the display device.

The search component 1512 can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to search for display devices that can be used for screen projection.

The cancel component 1512 can be used to cancel screen projection.

As shown in FIG. 15B , in response to user operations acting on the options of the display device 200 , the electronic device 100 may project the current desktop space (ie, the desktop space to which the thumbnail dock 1412 belongs) to the display device 200 . The embodiment of the present application does not limit the implementation manner of screen projection by the electronic device 100 . For example, the implementation manner of screen projection may include: screen projection by miracast, screen projection by digital living network alliance (DLAN) projection, screen projection by AirPlay, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 15C , the electronic device 100 may display a desktop 1520 . Desktop 1520 may include dock 1521 . The electronic device 100 is currently in the desktop space to which the dock 1521 belongs. The desktop space to which dock1521 belongs is the desktop space to which the aforementioned abbreviated dock1412 belongs. The electronic device 100 projects the desktop space to which the dock 1521 belongs to the display device 200 . The display device 200 may display a desktop 1530 . It can be seen that only the dock and the desktop page contained in the desktop space to which dock1521 belongs are displayed on desktop 1530 . The simplified displayed dock next to the dock 1521 on the desktop 1520 is not projected on the display device 200 . When the electronic device 100 opens a desktop component included in the desktop space to which the dock 1521 belongs, and displays the user interface of the desktop component, the content displayed on the screen of the display device 200 may be updated accordingly, and the user interface of the desktop component is also displayed.

When the electronic device 100 switches the current desktop space from the projected desktop space to the non-projected desktop space, the electronic device 100 may display the dock and the desktop page included in the non-projected desktop space after switching. The display device 200 may still display the projected desktop space. The dock and the desktop page included in the above-mentioned unprojected desktop space will not be displayed on the display device 200 .

Exemplarily, in response to the user operation for switching desktop spaces on the electronic device 100 shown in FIG. 15C , the electronic device 100 may display the desktop 1520 shown in FIG. 15D . In FIG. 15D , the electronic device 100 fully displays the desktop components contained in the dock1522 and simplifies the display of the dock1521 shown in FIG. 15C . The electronic device 100 switches from the desktop space to which dock1521 belongs to the desktop space to which dock1522 belongs.

The desktop space that dock1521 belongs to is the desktop space that the user chooses to cast the screen. The desktop space to which dock1521 belongs is the desktop space that has not been projected. After the electronic device 100 switches the desktop space to which the dock 1521 belongs, the display device 200 may still display the desktop 1530 . That is, the display device 200 can display the dock and the desktop page included in the desktop space to which the dock 1521 belongs.

In some embodiments, a screen-casting APP is installed in the electronic device 100 . The screen-casting APP can provide the function of selecting one or more desktop spaces for screen-casting. That is to say, when the electronic device 100 includes multiple desktop spaces, the user can choose to project one or more desktop spaces to other display devices.

It can be known from the embodiments shown in FIGS. 15A to 15D that the user can create multiple desktop spaces in the electronic device 100 . Each desktop space can contain desktop components in different scenarios. The user can select the desktop space to be cast when casting the screen. The desktop space in the electronic device 100 that is not selected for screen projection will not be projected to other display devices. This can meet the requirement that the user does not want to cast relatively private content in the electronic device 100 on other display devices during the screen casting process. During the screen projection process, the user can freely switch between the projected desktop space and the non-projected desktop space in the electronic device 100, and does not need to worry about content that is inconvenient to project on the non-projected desktop space displayed on other display devices.

It is not limited to the scenario of screen projection described above. In the scenario of desktop sharing, the electronic device 100 may also share one or more desktop spaces among the multiple desktop spaces with other electronic devices. For the process of the electronic device 100 sharing a desktop space with other electronic devices, reference may be made to the above-mentioned process of projecting a desktop space to other display devices. I won't go into details here.

In some embodiments, the user can use the notification setting component 1425 shown in FIG. 14B to select whether the electronic device 100 is in a desktop space, whether to display only the message notifications of the desktop components contained in this desktop space, or to display the message notification of the desktop components contained in the electronic device 100. Message notifications for all desktop components in .

Exemplarily, in response to a user operation acting on the expansion component 1425A in the notification setting component 1425, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface for selecting which desktop components to display notifications from. For the user interface for selecting which desktop components to display notifications from, reference may be made to the user interface for selecting a sorting manner of desktop components shown in FIG. 14C . Wherein, the user interface for selecting which desktop components to display notifications from may include options: only display message notifications of desktop components included in the current desktop space, and display message notifications of all desktop components.

If in the notification setting component 1425 of a desktop space, only the option corresponding to the message notification of the desktop components contained in the current desktop space is selected, the electronic device 100 can only display this desktop space when it is in this desktop space Message notifications for included desktop components.

Specifically, in a possible implementation manner, the electronic device 100 may receive message notifications of all desktop components in the electronic device 100 . If the message notification display range of the desktop space A is to only display the message notifications of the desktop components contained in the desktop space A, then the electronic device 100 may filter out the message notifications of the desktop components contained in the desktop space A and present them immediately. The electronic device 100 may temporarily store received but not yet displayed message notifications, for example, message notifications of desktop components included in desktop spaces other than desktop space A. The message notifications that have been received but not yet displayed may be stored in the message storage module to be displayed. After a message notification in the message storage module to be displayed is displayed, the electronic device 100 may remove the displayed message notification from the message storage module to be displayed.

When switching from desktop space A to another desktop space, such as desktop space B, the electronic device 100 may determine the display range of the message notification of desktop space B. If the message notification display range of the desktop space B is to only display the message notifications of the desktop components contained in the desktop space B, then the electronic device 100 can filter out the message notifications of the desktop components contained in the desktop space B from the above-mentioned display message storage module, And display after switching to desktop space B. When in the desktop space B, the electronic device 100 may filter out the message notifications of the desktop components included in the desktop space B from all received message notifications, and present them immediately. The electronic device 100 may store the message notifications that do not belong to the desktop components contained in the desktop space B among all the message notifications received when it is in the desktop space B to the above-mentioned message storage module to be displayed.

If the message notification display range of desktop space B is to display message notifications of all desktop components, electronic device 100 may display all message notifications in the message storage module to be displayed after switching to desktop space B. When in the desktop space B, the electronic device 100 may immediately present the received message notification of the desktop component without storing it in the to-be-displayed message storage module.

In some embodiments, the message notifications stored in the message storage module to be displayed may have a storage time limit. The electronic device 100 may remove message notifications that have not been displayed beyond the storage time limit from the message storage module to be displayed. Wherein, different types of message notifications may have different storage time limits in the message storage module to be displayed.

Types of message notifications may include social communication, service reminders, and information marketing. The aforementioned social communication message notifications may include point-to-point chat messages between users, voice call invitations, video call invitations, incoming call reminders, and the like. The message notifications of the above-mentioned service reminders can include thematic content subscribed by the user (such as live broadcast start reminders, book updates), travel notifications (such as flight change reminders, hotel check-in reminders), health data notifications (such as steps, calories burned), Work item notifications (such as meeting reminders, to-do reminders), order information and logistics status notifications, financial change notifications (such as funds arriving, transaction reminders), system notifications (such as low battery reminders), etc. The above-mentioned information marketing notifications may include news, financial trends, product promotions, content recommendations not subscribed by users themselves, and the like.

Wherein, the storage time limit of the above-mentioned social communication message notification in the message storage module to be displayed may be infinitely long. That is, the electronic device 100 will not remove the message notification belonging to the social communication category in the message storage module to be displayed before it is displayed. This can prevent the user from missing messages sent to the user by relatives, friends, and the like.

The storage time limit of the above-mentioned message notifications of the service reminder type in the message storage module to be displayed may also be infinite. This prevents users from missing important service reminders. Optionally, the storage time limit for the above-mentioned service reminder type message notification in the message storage module to be displayed may also be a preset time period. The aforementioned preset duration may be set by the user.

The storage time limit for the above-mentioned information marketing message notification in the message storage module to be displayed may be a preset time period. It is understandable that information marketing notifications are often time-sensitive. Information marketing messages that are seen by users after a certain period of time may not be useful to users. If a large number of outdated information marketing messages (such as news from a week ago, product promotions, etc.) are presented on the interface after the user switches the desktop space, it may cause trouble to the user. If the message notification of the information marketing category exceeds the preset time period in the message storage module to be displayed, the electronic device 100 can delete the message notification of the information marketing category. This can reduce the interference of expired information marketing messages to users.

It can be known from the above embodiments that when the electronic device 100 is in a desktop space, it may only display the message notifications of the desktop components included in the desktop space. This can help the user to better focus on one scene, and reduce the desktop components contained in the desktop space corresponding to other scenes from disturbing the user's focus on this one scene.

In some embodiments, one or more of the following attributes of a desktop space can be modified: name, wallpaper, AOD status, theme, desktop page switching effect, and the like. Among them, the attributes of different desktop spaces are independent of each other. Users can set the properties of each desktop space individually.

The process of modifying the attributes of the desktop space by the electronic device 100 will be described below by taking the modification of the wallpaper of the desktop space as an example.
