For example, the terminal device can receive and respond to a user operation for instructing the user to classify by function. At this time, the terminal device layouts and displays various desktop elements according to different functional classifications on different pages of the desktop display interface. For example, various desktop elements corresponding to the entertainment functions are displayed on the desktop page 1; among them, the desktop elements corresponding to the entertainment functions are such as: application folders containing multiple applications belonging to the entertainment function category (such as game folders, audio and video files folder), service cards (such as the service cards corresponding to music APP), various application icons and shortcuts, etc.

For another example, the terminal device may also receive and respond to a user operation for instructing the user to sort by color. At this time, the terminal device layouts and displays various desktop elements according to different color categories on different page desktop display interfaces. For example, desktop page 1 displays apps and service cards with icons whose main color is red, and desktop page 2 displays apps and service cards with icons whose main color is green.

Taking the terminal device 200 as a mobile phone as an example, FIG. 3a is a schematic diagram of a desktop display interface of a terminal device provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the current desktop page displayed on the display panel 261 of the mobile phone can be understood as a desktop display interface. For example, the mobile phone may contain multiple pages of desktop, and the user can switch and display different desktop pages through user operations such as left and right sliding operations; wherein different desktop pages may include different display contents. Taking a in Figure 3a as desktop page 1 and b in Figure 3a as desktop page 2 as an example, the desktop display interface may contain one or more of the following contents:

(1) Workspace area 301, the desktop workspace on the terminal device, is used to display various desktop elements. The classification of desktop elements may include but is not limited to: application folders 302, applications 303, widgets 304, and service cards 305. It should be noted that the workspace area 301 is usually divided into grids, for example, it can be divided into 4×6 (the workspace area 301 as shown in Figure 3b contains a grid of 4 columns and 6 rows), 5×5, 5×6, etc. Number of grids.

(2) Application folder 302 contains icons of multiple application programs. For example, the application folder named "System Tools" in desktop page 1 shown in a in Figure 3a includes a clock icon, a calendar icon, a file management icon, and a mobile phone manager icon. For another example, the application folder named "Game Category" in the desktop page 2 shown in b in Figure 3a contains a game 1 icon, a game 2 icon, a game 3 icon and a game 4 icon.

The application folders 302 may have different specifications, and the application folders 302 of different specifications may occupy different numbers of grids. For example, a small folder can occupy one grid; a medium folder can occupy 1×2, or 4×4 grids as shown in a in Figure 3a; and a large folder can occupy 9×9 grids. It should be noted that since an application icon generally occupies at least one grid, if all the application icons contained in the application folder cannot be displayed on the grid occupied by the application folder 302, other application icons can be displayed in response to the user's request. After the application folder 302 is clicked, a display interface containing more application icons is displayed, which are stored in the folder in other scenarios; for example, the desktop page 2 shown in b in Figure 3a is named "Game" "The application folder may also contain Game 5 icons, Game 6 icons, etc. that are not shown.

(3) Application program 303, used to indicate the application program installed on the terminal device, such as the theme APP icon shown as a in Figure 3a. In addition, not shown in Figure 3a, the desktop can also include shortcut icons, etc.; wherein, the shortcut icons can be used to implement any function included in the application (such as a "scan" shortcut, etc.) , this application does not limit this.

(4) Widget 304 (also known as "desktop widget", "window widget", etc.), used to provide functions corresponding to the application program more directly. For example, the widget corresponding to the weather APP shown in a in Figure 3a can intuitively provide weather information to the user; and for example, the widget corresponding to the video APP shown in b in Figure 3a can provide some of the video APP to the user. Shortcut functions, such as video search bar, etc.

(5) Service card 305 (which can also be called a "universal card" and can also be provided in the form of combined cards, stacked cards, etc.), which is used to more conveniently preview the service information of the application. As shown in a in Figure 3a, the gallery can be previewed through the service card corresponding to the gallery APP. Pictures included in the APP; for example, the service card corresponding to the music APP shown by b in Figure 3a may include a quick play button, etc.

(6) The dock bar 306 may include icons of commonly used applications, such as the camera icon, address book icon, phone icon and information icon shown in Figure 3a. It should be noted that the icons included in the dock bar 306 can be set accordingly according to the user's needs.

(7) Navigation point area 307, used to indicate the desktop page currently displayed on the desktop of the terminal device, the number of desktop pages included, etc. For example, the current desktop display interface shown in a in Figure 3a is desktop page 1, and the current desktop display interface shown in b in Figure 3a is desktop page 2; in addition, the desktop shown in Figure 3a also includes negative One screen corresponds to the desktop page.

In addition, although not shown in Figure 3a, the desktop of the terminal device may also include a status bar; where the status bar may include information such as power, time, network status, etc.

It should be noted that during specific implementation, the desktop page may also include other tools or other categories of desktop elements that may appear in the future. When this application is implemented, the specific types of desktop elements included on the desktop page are not limited. The embodiments of this application are mainly used in scenarios where the terminal device performs classified layout display of various desktop elements on the desktop display interface.

Currently, users can implement desktop organization methods such as changing application icon styles, adjusting system fonts, selecting desktop wallpapers, etc. in the theme APP as shown in a in Figure 3a. However, the classification layout for desktop elements on the desktop usually requires users to perform user operations such as manual classification or manual movement on the desktop page. In this way, on the one hand, it will cause the user to spend a lot of time sorting it out; on the other hand, due to the limitation of the user's creativity, it will be impossible to sort out a more accurate or more suitable classification layout.

In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide an interface display method. Terminal devices can provide users with the function of automatically classifying and laying out various desktop elements, thereby helping users organize their desktops more conveniently and thereby improving user experience. For example, as shown in Figure 3a, assuming that desktop elements are laid out and displayed according to functional classification, the display interface shown in a in Figure 3a can be a layout interface corresponding to the system tool function category (for example, including a system tool named "System Tool"). application folder, weather widget, gallery service card and theme APP icon), the display interface shown in b in Figure 3a can be a layout interface corresponding to the entertainment function category (for example, including an application folder named "Game Category", Video widget, music service card). The application scenarios applicable to the embodiments of this application are first described below through multiple examples. It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the following application scenarios.

Scenario 1. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a scenario of an interface display method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the theme APP can include an entrance that triggers the interface display method provided by this application. Exemplarily, when the terminal device detects and responds to the user operation of opening the theme APP and performs the related preview operation on the preset theme, when providing the user with the related preview interface of the preset theme, it can be displayed to the user as shown in Figure 4 a prompt popup window shown. The prompt pop-up window may include a control 401 for indicating that "layout by function" can be performed after applying the preset theme, and a control 402 for indicating that "layout by color" can be performed after applying the preset theme. It should be noted that in the embodiment of this application, "layout by function" and "layout by color" are used as examples. In actual implementation, layout can also be based on other principles (such as "layout by naming", etc.). This application uses classification layout The method is not limited.

In the display interface shown in a in Figure 4, taking the user's selection of "Layout by Function" as an example, the terminal device detects and responds to the user operation of the "Layout by Function" control 401, and changes the desktop elements contained in the terminal device to Layout by function on one or more desktop display interfaces. For example, one or more desktop elements belonging to functional category 1 are displayed on the desktop page 1 shown as b1 in Figure 4; and one or more desktop elements belonging to functional category 2 and functional category 3 are displayed. The element is displayed on the desktop page 2 shown as b2 in Figure 4.

Among them, one functional category can usually be displayed on each desktop page. In addition, if there is a functional category that contains too many desktop elements that cannot be displayed on one page of desktop, it can be displayed through multiple pages of desktop. Alternatively, if there is a functional category that contains fewer desktop elements and occupies less than half a page of desktop, it can be merged with other functional categories that contain fewer desktop elements and displayed on one page of desktop, as shown in Figure 4 Desktop page 2 shown in b2 simultaneously displays desktop elements included in functional category 2 and desktop elements included in functional category 3.

Scenario 2. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of another scenario of an interface display method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Alternatively, the terminal device can also provide an entrance on the desktop for triggering the method of the present application. For example, the terminal device detects and responds to the user's operation of entering the desktop editing portal (such as the user's two-finger pinch operation on the desktop display interface, etc.), and displays the "layout" control 501 as shown in a in Figure 5 . Then, if the terminal device detects the user's click operation on the "layout" control 501, in response to the click operation, the interface shown in b in Figure 5 is displayed. Among them, interface b in Figure 5 may include: "original layout" control 502, "layout by function" control 503 and "layout by color" control 504; it can be understood that the "original layout" control 502 is used to maintain The current layout of desktop elements, no need to classify layout.

In the display interface shown in b in Figure 5, taking the user's selection of "layout by color" as an example, the terminal device detects and responds to the user's When the user selects the "layout by color" control 504, the desktop elements contained in the terminal device are arranged according to color classification on one or more pages of desktop display interface. For example, one or more desktop elements belonging to color category 1 are displayed on the desktop page 1 shown as c1 in Figure 5; and one or more desktop elements belonging to color category 2 and color category 3 are displayed. The element is displayed on desktop page 2 as shown as c2 in Figure 5.

Among them, one color classification can usually be displayed on each page of the desktop. In addition, if there is a color classification that contains many desktop elements and cannot be displayed on one page of desktop, it can be displayed through multiple pages of desktop. Alternatively, if there is a color category that contains fewer desktop elements and occupies less than half a page of desktop, it can be merged with other color categories that contain fewer desktop elements and displayed on one page of desktop, as shown in Figure 5 Desktop page 2 shown in c2 simultaneously displays desktop elements included in color category 2 and desktop elements included in color category 3.

Scenario 3. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of another scenario of an interface display method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Based on the display interface after the classified layout as shown in Figure 4 or Figure 5, the terminal device can also provide a "change" control 601 on each page of the desktop for changing the layout sorting method. For example, the terminal device detects and responds to the user's click operation on the "Change" control 601, and changes the display interface 61 to the display interface 62. It should be noted that changes to the layout sorting method may include but are not limited to one or a combination of the following methods: display position (such as changing the order of up and down display, changing left and right display positions, etc.), display mode (such as changing from application folder to application icon), the number of occupied networks (for example, changing from occupying 4*2 grids to occupying 2*2 grids), display style (for example, changing from large folders to small folders, widget style changes, etc.). It should be noted that the terminal device can provide a layout sorting method applied to each page of the desktop, detect and respond to the user's click operation on the "Change" control 601, and the terminal device can provide a layout sorting method corresponding to multiple layout sorting methods. The layout display results undergo periodic transformation.

Scenario 4. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of another scenario of an interface display method provided by an embodiment of the present application. If the terminal device detects a user operation on the navigation point area 307 in the desktop display interface 71 (such as a click operation or a long press operation, etc.), in response to the user operation, the user is provided with a prompt popup such as that contained in the display interface 72. Window 701. The prompt pop-up window 701 may include categories associated with each desktop page. For example, taking "layout by function" in the display interface 72 as an example, the prompt pop-up window 701 may include, for example, system tool function classification, learning and office function classification, entertainment function classification, life function classification, food function classification, travel function classification, social networking function classification, etc. Information function classification and other functional classifications.

Then, the terminal device detects and responds to the user's operation of the "Travel" category control in the prompt pop-up window 701, and displays the desktop page associated with the "Travel" function category (not shown in Figure 7.) In this way, through the desktop page containing The navigation point area 307 can help users quickly switch desktop pages associated with different functional categories, thereby improving user experience.

It can be understood that if the desktop of the terminal device is "layout by color" as an example, the prompt pop-up window 701 may include items corresponding to color categories such as black, gray, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, etc. controls.

As another example, in the "layout by color" scenario, when the present application is implemented, the colors corresponding to the color categories can also be displayed through navigation points, so as to clarify the color categories associated with each page of the desktop. For example, as shown in the display interface 81 in FIG. 8 , the navigation point area 307 includes a navigation point corresponding to a negative one-screen desktop, and navigation points 801 and 802 corresponding to two pages of desktop respectively, where each navigation point is based on the corresponding desktop. The associated category of the page is displayed. For example, desktop page 1 can be a desktop corresponding to the red category, and the navigation point 801 can be displayed in red. If desktop page 2 can be a desktop corresponding to the blue category, the navigation point 802 can be displayed in blue. color; it should be noted that in this scenario, the currently displayed desktop display interface can be indicated by the mark 800. Optionally, the user can click the corresponding navigation point to trigger switching to the corresponding desktop page; or, since the navigation point area 307 is small, the user can also be provided with a prompt pop-up window as shown in Figure 7 to assist the user conveniently. Switch the desktop page; or, when the number of navigation points contained in the navigation point area 307 is less than the navigation point quantity threshold, the user can switch the desktop page by directly clicking on the navigation point, and when it is more than or equal to the navigation point quantity threshold, , providing users with prompt pop-ups to assist users in switching desktop pages. In this way, the navigation point area 307 included on the desktop can more intuitively prompt the user with the classification corresponding to each page of the desktop, helping the user to find the target desktop element more conveniently.

Scenario 5: Based on the above scenarios, if the terminal device detects a new operation for instructing the user to add a desktop element, in response to the new operation, the terminal device can determine the classification method of the new desktop element in the desktop application category under. If the terminal device determines that the category corresponding to the newly added desktop element exists on the desktop, and the new desktop element can be placed in the free display position of the desktop page associated with the category, then the new desktop element is placed in the new desktop element. on the desktop page associated with the above category. Alternatively, if the terminal device determines that the category corresponding to the newly added desktop element does not exist on the desktop, or even if the category exists, the new desktop element cannot be placed in the free display position on the associated desktop page, then a new desktop element can be added. One page of desktop, and the new desktop element is placed on the new desktop page; or, in the existing desktop page, a free display position can be selected to place the desktop page on which the new desktop element can be placed, and the new desktop element can be placed on the new desktop page. The new desktop element is added, and the category associated with the selected desktop page is updated to the original category + the new desktop element The category to which the element belongs; wherein, the updated category can be represented by a newly defined mixed name, or it can also be expressed in the form of the original category (the category to which the newly added desktop element belongs), etc. This application does not limit this. .

In some other possible scenarios, when the terminal device implements layout of desktop elements by category, it can also display different desktop wallpapers on different desktop pages; for example, when layout display by functional category, the desktop corresponding to the entertainment function category Desktop wallpaper 1 (such as character wallpaper) can be selected on the page, and desktop wallpaper 2 (such as text wallpaper) can be selected on the desktop page corresponding to the learning tool category. And, in each desktop page, the terminal device can also adjust the display style of the preset desktop elements according to the category of the desktop page. For example, when the layout display is classified by color, a desktop page corresponding to the red category can be set simultaneously. Or the background color of multiple service cards is mainly red, and/or the background wallpaper of one or more application folders is set simultaneously as the default desktop wallpaper.

In other possible scenarios, desktop elements are displayed on one or more desktop display interfaces according to categories based on the terminal device. The terminal device can also associate the display methods of other display scenes based on the classification layout results. For example, when the terminal device detects that the category corresponding to the current display interface on the desktop is the blue category, and if it detects a user operation on the touch panel to trigger the display of the notification bar page, it responds to the user operation , the terminal device can display the notification bar as a display interface with blue as the main color, for example, the color of the shortcut icon in the notification bar when selected is displayed as blue; it can be understood that if it is detected that the classification corresponding to the current display interface is green When categorizing, you can change the color of the shortcut icon in the notification bar to green when selected. In another example, when the terminal device detects that the screen-off display function is set, the terminal device can respond to the category corresponding to the desktop page where the user stays when the screen is off, and trigger the display effect of the screen-off display associated with the category (for example, One or more of animation effects, display colors, display styles, etc.); for example, if the terminal device detects that the user has turned off the screen on the desktop page corresponding to the green category, then when the off-screen display (AOD) is displayed, it is displayed in green The display effect associated with the classification, for example, can be an animation effect that gradually changes from green to white.

Based on the foregoing description of the interface display effect that can be achieved by using the method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the implementation process of the interface display method provided by the present application is introduced below to illustrate how to use the method provided by the present application to achieve the aforementioned introduction. The interface display effects shown in Figures 3a to 8 can help users organize the classification layout of the desktop more conveniently.

Referring to Figure 9, a schematic flow chart of an interface display method is provided according to a possible embodiment of the present application. This method can be applied to terminal devices (such as mobile phones, tablet computers, folding screen mobile phones, etc.) and can include the following processes:

Step 901: Detect the first user operation of the user on the first interface. The first interface includes one or more controls. The controls are used to instruct the operation of different desktop classification layout modes. The first user operation is used to Run the target desktop classification layout selected by the user.

Exemplarily, the terminal device may display the first interface in but not limited to the following ways, including:

Method 1: Display the first interface based on the theme APP included on the terminal device. For example, based on the terminal device enabling the application program of the theme APP, the terminal device can receive the user's browsing operations on various pages included in the theme APP, download operations and/or application operations of some themes, etc. Optionally, if the terminal device detects the user's related preview operation on the first theme that meets the preset application conditions, in response to the related preview operation, the first interface shown in a in Figure 4 can be displayed for the user. . Wherein, the first interface includes controls corresponding to one or more desktop classification layout modes supported by the first theme that meets the preset application conditions, such as "layout by function" as shown in a in Figure 4 Control 401, "layout by color" control 402, etc.

In the above example, the first theme that meets the preset application conditions is used to indicate a theme that can be applied by the user and supports the realization of desktop classification layout through the method provided by this application. It should be noted that each theme in the theme APP generally has a corresponding theme package, and the theme package may include configuration files corresponding to various functions used to support the application of the theme; based on this, when implementing this application , the theme package corresponding to the first theme that meets the preset application conditions may include a layout configuration file used to support the desktop classification layout function when the first theme is applied; wherein the layout configuration file may be used to indicate One or more desktop classification layout methods supported by the first theme may also be used to indicate display resources corresponding to each classification (such as wallpaper resources, font resources, screen-off display animation effect resources, etc.). It can be understood that the terminal device can provide the user with display of the first interface according to the layout configuration file.

Based on the first interface provided by method 1, the terminal device can detect the first user operation. Optionally, if the terminal device detects the user's selection operation on the control for running the first desktop classification layout mode (such as "layout by function"), it can be determined that the user selected the "layout by function" mode as the target desktop classification. Layout mode, at this time, the desktop application process can be notified, so that when the user applies the first theme, the existing desktop elements are classified and displayed according to the target desktop classification layout mode.

Method 2: Display the first interface based on the desktop application process of the terminal device. Exemplarily, the terminal device can also detect relevant trigger operations that instruct the user to trigger entry into the desktop editing portal on the desktop display interface and use the desktop classification layout function (for example, the user's two-finger pinch operation on the desktop display interface, and click "Layout" function control, etc.), in response to the related trigger operation, the first interface shown in b in Figure 5 can be displayed for the user. Among them, the first interface under method 2 contains the second theme of the current desktop application. At least one supported control for running one or more different desktop classification layout modes, such as the "layout by function" control 503, the "layout by color" control 504, and the "original layout" shown in b in Figure 5 Control 502 etc.

Similar to Method 1, in the example shown in Method 2, the second theme may be a theme that is currently applied on the desktop and supports the implementation of desktop classification layout through the method provided by the embodiments of the present application. It can be understood that if the theme currently applied to the desktop is a third theme that does not support the implementation of desktop classification layout, the "layout" function control may not be displayed when the terminal device displays a display interface including a desktop editing entrance.

Based on the first interface provided by method 2, the terminal device can also detect the first user operation. Optionally, the terminal device can detect the user's selection operation on the control used to run the second desktop classification layout mode (such as "layout by color") through the desktop application process, and then it can be determined that the user selects the "layout by color" mode as the selected control. Describe the target desktop classification layout method. Based on this, the desktop application process can respond to the first user operation to adjust the desktop layout of existing desktop elements according to the target desktop classification layout method on the basis of applying the second theme.

It should be noted that the implementation of this application is not limited to displaying the first interface through the above-mentioned method 1 or 2. During specific implementation, entrances for triggering the methods provided by this application can also be set on other pages.

Step 902: In response to the first user operation, display a second interface, where the second interface is a desktop page corresponding to the first category and includes at least one desktop element belonging to the first category; wherein, The first classification is obtained after classifying and laying out desktop elements according to the target desktop classification layout method.

In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may also detect and respond to a second user operation for instructing the user to switch desktop pages, and switch to display a third interface. The third interface may be a desktop page corresponding to the second category. , and include at least one desktop element belonging to the second category; or, the third interface may also be another desktop page corresponding to the first category, and include at least one desktop element belonging to the first category. Element, this scenario is suitable for scenarios where the first category contains a lot of desktop elements and needs to be displayed on a multi-page desktop. In addition, the third interface may also be a fixed page such as a negative one-screen page included in the terminal device that may not be classified and laid out.

It can be understood that after the terminal device detects the first user operation on the first interface, it may be implemented to respond to the first user operation and notify the desktop application process to classify the classifiable desktops included in the current desktop according to the target desktop classification layout. The elements are classified into layouts; then, the desktop application process is restarted and the new classification layout results take effect.

In an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 10, which is a schematic flowchart of an interface display method provided by the embodiment of the present application; if the first interface is displayed based on method 1, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can mainly be performed through the terminal device It is realized through the interaction between the theme application process and the desktop application process. Taking the first user operation as the user to select the control corresponding to the "layout by function" mode and applying it to the first theme as an example, the following process may be included. :

Step 1001: The theme application process parses the theme package of the first theme.

Step 1002: The theme application process identifies that the first theme supports the desktop classification layout function according to the theme package of the first theme.

Step 1003: On the first interface displayed based on Mode 1, the theme application process determines that the target desktop classification layout mode is the "layout by function" mode in response to the first user operation.

Step 1004: The theme application decompresses the compressed resources used to implement the "layout by function" method, obtains classification standards by function, and notifies the desktop application process.

It should be noted that during actual implementation, the classification standards can be customized and pre-configured, or adaptively adjusted based on user habits, etc. This application does not limit this.

For example, the function classification standard may be a pre-agreed function classification. Optionally, the pre-agreed function classification can be obtained through the following channels: the function classification associated with each application in the application market APP used to download and install applications on the terminal device, or the function classification of each desktop element stored in advance Standards etc.

For example, Table 1 below shows one possible functional classification criteria:

Table 1

As shown in the functional classification example in Table 1 above, when this application is implemented, desktop elements belonging to each major category can be classified together and displayed on one page of desktop, or when there are many desktop elements belonging to this major category, Displayed on a multi-page desktop; and applications belonging to each subcategory under each major category can be divided into an application folder, etc. It should be noted that based on the functional classification standards shown in Table 1, the specific classification method of desktop elements is not limited when this application is implemented.

Step 1005: The desktop application process obtains the function classification standard.

Step 1006: The desktop application process determines the functional classification of each existing desktop element based on the functional classification standard, and determines the layout order according to the functional classification of each existing desktop element.

For example, the terminal device determines the classification of each desktop element included on the current desktop. For example, the video APP can be determined to belong to the entertainment category and the audio-visual subcategory.

Then, the terminal device determines the desktop layout sorting based on the functional classification results of each desktop element. By way of example, the desktop layout sorting method may include but is not limited to one or a combination of the following methods:

(1) Determine application folder specifications. For example, the terminal device can divide application icons and/or shortcuts into application folders based on subcategories in the functional classification standard; based on the application folders, they can be displayed in different specifications to facilitate the user to intuitively view desktop elements. , In this embodiment of the present application, the application folder specifications may be determined based on the number of desktop elements contained in the application folder.

Optionally, if the number of desktop elements contained is less than or equal to the first quantity threshold (for example, 2 desktop elements), it can be displayed as a small folder occupying 1 grid. Or, in order to avoid having too many application folders on the desktop page, you can also merge multiple application folders that are less than or equal to the first number threshold. For example, assume that the game subcategory contains two game APPs and the audio and video subcategory If it contains 1 video APP, you can merge the game subcategory and the audiovisual subcategory into a "game audiovisual" folder containing 3 desktop elements.

Alternatively, if the number of desktop elements contained is greater than the first number threshold and less than the second number threshold (for example, 5 desktop elements), it can be displayed as a folder occupying a 1×2 grid, or displayed. In order to occupy a 2×2 medium folder, etc., the specific settings can be set according to the configuration.

Alternatively, if the number of desktop elements contained is greater than or equal to the second quantity threshold (for example, 5 desktop elements), it can be displayed as occupying 2×2 folders, or as occupying 3×3 folders. Large folders, etc. can be set according to the configuration.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned first quantity threshold and second quantity threshold are only an example. During specific implementation, more or less quantity thresholds can also be used to determine application folder specifications; and, when this application is implemented, all The specific settings of the first quantitative threshold and the second quantitative threshold are not limited.

(2) Calculate the weight of desktop elements. For example, the terminal device may determine the weight value, weighted summation value, etc. of each desktop element based on factors such as the frequency of use of the desktop element, duration of use, original layout display position, or preset importance.

For example, taking a weather APP as an example, due to the necessity of using the weather APP, a larger weight value is assigned to the weather APP based on the preset importance level. In this way, if the terminal device sorts the desktop elements based on the weight value or the weighted sum value, the weather APP can be displayed in a more prominent position.

In addition, the terminal device may also periodically update the weight value and/or the weighted sum value.

(3) Determine the number of desktop pages. For example, the terminal device may determine the number of desktop pages according to the functional categories.

Optionally, the terminal device determines the number of functional categories involved in the desktop, and determines the number of desktop pages that each functional category needs to occupy. Exemplarily, the terminal device determines the target number of rows that the functional category needs to occupy based on the desktop elements included in each functional category, and determines the target number of rows that the functional category needs to occupy based on the target number of rows and the number of first rows included in the desktop workspace area 301. The comparison between the threshold (used to indicate the number of half-screen rows) and the second row number threshold (used to indicate the number of full-screen rows) determines the number of desktop pages required for the functional category. For example, it can be divided into the following situations:

Case 1: If the target number of rows is less than or equal to the first row number threshold, it is determined that the functional category occupies half a page of the desktop. Based on this, the terminal device can merge multiple functional categories that occupy half a page of the desktop. For example, assuming that the social information category and other categories respectively occupy half a page of the desktop, the social information category and the other categories can be merged. Major categories are combined into one desktop page for display.

In addition, when merging desktop pages, the terminal device can prioritize the two categories that occupy a larger number of rows after merging. For example, assuming that the number of lines in the entire screen is 6, Function Category 1 occupies 2 lines, Function Category 2 occupies 3 lines, and Function Category 3 occupies 3 lines, the terminal device can perform pairwise merging calculations based on the merging method to determine the right After the combination of the functional category 2 and the functional category 3, the merged result can occupy 6 rows and can occupy the maximum number of rows and can be displayed on one page of desktop. Then the terminal device can give priority to functional category 2 and function Category 3 is merged.

Alternatively, the terminal device can also add some service cards to the half-page desktop display page to improve the aesthetics of the desktop page.

Case 2: If the target number of rows is greater than the first row number threshold and less than or equal to the second row number threshold, it is determined that the functional category occupies the entire page of the desktop.

Case 3: If the target number of rows is greater than the second row number threshold, it is determined that the functional category occupies multiple pages of the desktop. It can be understood that the terminal device can also determine the number of multi-page desktops that the functional category needs to occupy based on the target row number, for example, it can occupy one and a half desktop pages, two desktop pages, etc.; wherein, if the functional categories are large If a class occupies half of the desktop page, the half-page desktop can also be merged with other functional categories that occupy half of the desktop page.

(4) Determine the order of arrangement. For example, the terminal device can arrange the desktop page or the order of the desktop elements on the desktop page according to one or a combination of the number of grids occupied by the desktop elements, weight value, weighted sum value and other factors. For example, it can be arranged according to The number of occupied grids is arranged from large to small, and the weight values are arranged in order from large to small, etc.

In addition, there may be at least one desktop element whose functional classification has not been determined. In this case, the terminal device can merge the at least one desktop element, for example, merge application icons and/or shortcuts into application folders. Moreover, the terminal device can also merge desktop elements that are not classified into determined functional categories, or merged application folders, etc., into desktop pages that already have functional categories, so that each desktop page can be filled as much as possible. Avoid redundant desktop pages, thereby improving the aesthetics of the desktop, etc.

In addition, based on the user's use of the terminal device, the terminal device can periodically update the weight value or the weighted sum value, and detect the user's addition, deletion or display mode change of desktop elements (for example, the user manually triggers the display of a small folder change to a large folder, or the user changes the display style of the service card, etc.); in view of this, the terminal device can periodically send prompt information to the user whether to update the desktop classification layout; and, if it receives a message to instruct the user to confirm updating the desktop classification During layout, the terminal device updates the classification layout results of the desktop.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the layout sorting method introduced above. During specific implementation, customized configurations can be made according to actual scenarios, or adaptive adjustments can be made according to user usage habits.

Step 1007: The theme application process receives that the functional classification layout of the desktop application process has taken effect.

Step 1008: The theme application process instructs the desktop application process to restart, and the theme package of the first theme takes effect after the restart.

In another optional embodiment, refer to Figure 11, which is another schematic flowchart of an interface display method provided by the embodiment of the present application; if the first interface is displayed based on method 2, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can mainly It is realized through the interaction between the desktop application process and the theme application process in the terminal device. Taking the first user operation as an example for the user to select the "layout by color" mode to apply to the second theme currently used on the desktop, the following process may be included. :

Step 1101: On the first interface displayed based on Mode 2, the desktop application determines that the target desktop classification layout mode is the "layout by color" mode in response to the first user operation.

Step 1102: Obtain color classification standards from the compressed resources used to implement the "layout by color" method in the theme application. It can be understood that in the triggering scenario based on method 2, the second theme is the theme currently being applied on the desktop. At this time, the first user operation is equivalent to classifying and laying out the applications based on the second theme. Switch, take switching to "layout by color" as an example. At this time, you can obtain the color classification standards from the compressed resources that have been decompressed in the theme application.

Examples of color classification standards may include but are not limited to one or a combination of the following standards:

(1) Pre-agreed color classification. Optionally, the pre-agreed color classification may be the color classification of each desktop element pre-stored by the terminal device, etc. For example, the color classification may include: black, gray, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and others. For example, pre-book the weather APP into the blue category, the calculator APP into the white category, etc.

(2) The main color and color count (count) value of desktop elements calculated based on the image color picking method. For example, the terminal device can also extract the picture bitmap (bitmap) display of the desktop element view according to the desktop display effect of the desktop element view, and then calculate the main color and color count of the desktop element based on the picture color picking method. value.

It should be noted that when this application is implemented, the color classification of desktop elements is not limited to the implementation standards introduced above. Other implementation methods can also be used during specific implementation. For example, other color picking methods can be used to obtain the main colors of desktop elements. wait.

Step 1103: Determine the color classification of each existing desktop element based on the color classification standard, and determine the layout sorting result according to the color classification of each existing desktop element.

For example, refer to the layout sorting method in the "layout by function" scenario introduced earlier. The "layout by color" scenario can also be based on but not limited to the following implementation methods: determining folder specifications, calculating desktop element weights, determining desktop The number of pages and the order of arrangement will not be repeated here.

Step 1104: The desktop application process applies the layout sorting result. It can be understood that after applying the layout sorting result, the desktop elements of the terminal device are arranged and displayed according to color classification on the desktop.

In yet another optional embodiment, in the scenario where the first interface is displayed based on method 2, the desktop application process may not need to interact with the theme application. In response to the first user operation of the user selecting the target desktop classification layout mode, the existing desktop application process may be modified. Desktop elements are displayed in a categorized layout. At this time, the layout configuration file used to implement classified layout display may be pre-stored in the resource package of the desktop application process, or in other preset locations, for example.

In a scenario where classification layout is performed based on a terminal device, the terminal device may also respond to a user operation for instructing the user to adjust the classification layout result according to the classification layout principle.

In a possible embodiment, if the terminal device detects a third user operation for instructing the user to change the layout and sorting method of the second interface (for example, the user performs a "change one" operation on the desktop display interface 61 as shown in Figure 6 Click operation of "Change" control 601), in response to the third user operation, a fourth interface is displayed. Wherein, the fourth interface contains the same desktop elements as the second interface, but the difference lies in the layout and sorting method. Exemplarily, changes to the layout sorting method may include but are not limited to one or a combination of the following methods: display position (such as changing the order of up and down display, changing left and right display positions, etc.), display mode (such as changing from application folder to application icon), the number of occupied networks (for example, changing from occupying 4*2 grids to occupying 2*2 grids), display style (for example, changing from large folders to small folders, widget style changes, etc.). In this way, by providing users with the function of quickly switching classification layouts on the desktop page, it is possible to provide users with multiple classification layout sorting methods, making it easier for users to choose appropriate classification layout sorting results, which can help users organize them conveniently. Desktop to improve user experience.

In another possible embodiment, if the terminal device detects a fourth user operation for instructing the user to trigger the navigation point area (for example, the user operates on the interface 71 as shown in Figure 7 or the interface 81 as shown in Figure 8 Long press operation of navigation point area 307, etc.), in response to the fourth user operation, the fifth interface is displayed. The fifth interface is used to provide the user with categories associated with each desktop page, such as the categories shown in the prompt pop-up window 701 shown in the interface 72 in FIG. 7 .

Then, if the terminal device detects a selection operation for any category (assumed to be the third category), it switches to display the desktop page corresponding to the third category (assumed to be the sixth interface). In this way, the terminal device configures the navigation point area with a function that facilitates the user to quickly switch desktop pages, which can help the user to conveniently switch desktop pages based on the navigation point area, so that when there are a large number of desktop pages, the terminal device can quickly switch the desktop page. Locate the user's target switching page, so that you can quickly locate the target desktop elements that the user needs, thereby improving the user experience.

In addition, there is another possible embodiment. In the scenario of classification layout based on the terminal device, if the terminal device detects the fifth user operation for instructing the user to add a desktop element, the target desktop classification layout method will be configured according to the target desktop layout method. New desktop elements are displayed on the desktop page corresponding to the category to which they belong. Wherein, the newly added desktop elements include: downloading applications, adding service cards, adding shortcuts, etc. Illustratively, refer to Figure 12, which is another schematic flowchart of an interface display method provided by an embodiment of the present application, which may at least include the following processes:

Step 1201: A fifth user operation is detected, and the fifth user operation is used to add a first desktop element.

Step 1202: In response to the fifth user operation, determine the target category to which the first desktop element belongs. Optionally, if the target category of the first desktop element cannot be obtained, the target category is determined to be another category.

Step 1203: Based on the multiple desktop pages included in the terminal device, determine whether there is a desktop page corresponding to the target category.

Step 1204: If it is determined that there is a first desktop page corresponding to the target category, further determine whether the first desktop page contains the placement position of the first desktop element.

Step 1205: If it is determined that the first desktop page corresponding to the target category does not exist, or if it is determined that the first desktop page exists but the first desktop page does not contain the placement position of the first desktop element, add a new a second desktop page, and associate the target category with the second desktop page. Alternatively, the newly added desktop element can also be displayed on a third desktop page that meets the placement condition, and the category associated with the third desktop page is updated to include the category to which it belongs, and the placement condition is the number of free grids. Greater than or equal to the number of grids required for the new desktop element.

Step 1206: If it is determined that the first desktop page exists and the first desktop page contains the placement position of the first desktop element, display the first desktop element on the first desktop page.

Through the methods provided by the embodiments of the present application, several functions can be implemented on the terminal device, including: (1) The desktop of the terminal device can be implemented to automatically layout and display existing desktop elements according to categories on one or more desktop pages. ; (2) Automatic classification and layout of desktop elements can be triggered by the theme package in the theme APP; (3) When new desktop elements are added, they can also be automatically classified and displayed on the desktop page corresponding to the category to which they belong. Therefore, this method helps the user to adjust the desktop layout conveniently, and through the automatic classification and layout of desktop elements by the terminal device, a more accurate desktop layout classification can be achieved, and through the processing of the terminal device, it can also be Provide users with multiple layout sorting methods so that users can choose appropriate layout sorting, thereby improving user experience.
