Problems solved by technology

However, when searching, it is often necessary to remember the display name of the icon, which is not convenient for users to use
Although users can customize the icon addition, deletion, display position (manually drag and sort), folder classification, and copy icons to the eye-catching home screen or preset interface for easy search, but this operation is very cumbersome, if the user preferences are constantly changing, and the previous settings need to be changed in time, which is also not very convenient
In this way, with the extension of the use time, after adding new applications, there may be a large number of disordered icons in the menu, which is very inconvenient for users to find and select frequently used icons.

Embodiment 1

[0094] This embodiment provides a method for sorting and displaying icons, and the method may include:

[0095] Receive various parameters input by the user, the parameters include: statistical time interval parameters, weighting parameters, etc., wherein, when the user does not input and set the parameters, the parameters take default values, and the default values ​​can be preset OK

[0096] Create a list of records, each icon is a record, in which the number of times the icon is used within the statistical time interval and the duration of each use are counted.

[0097] According to the recorded usage times and duration of each icon in the same category, use the following formula to calculate the usage frequency value of each icon in the same category:

[0098]

[0099] Among them, A represents the usage frequency value of the icon, k represents the number of the icon, and A k Indicates the usage frequency value of the kth icon; α is a weighting parameter whose value r...

Embodiment 2

[0117] In this embodiment, on the basis of Embodiment 1, a touch control function is added. At this point, in addition to all the steps in Embodiment 1, a method for sorting and displaying icons provided in this embodiment also includes:

[0118] dividing the display area of ​​the screen into a plurality of independent touch areas according to icon categories;

[0119] Receive user touch input;

[0120] Determine the touch area and sliding direction corresponding to the touch input;

[0121] Moving the icon according to the determined touch area and / or sliding direction, wherein:

[0122] When the sliding direction is the first direction, moving icons sequentially along the first direction;

[0123] When the sliding direction is the second direction, the icons in the category where the determined touch area is located are sequentially moved along the second direction, while keeping icons of other categories unchanged.

[0124] Specifically, in this embodiment, the touch ar...

Embodiment 3

[0132] In this embodiment, on the basis of the embodiment 2, a stereoscopic effect (3D effect) display function is added to support icon movement. At this point, a method for sorting and displaying icons provided in this embodiment may include all the steps in Embodiment 2, and the method provided in this embodiment may additionally include:

[0133] All the icons in the determined touch area are adjacent to each other and arranged into a circular queue, wherein the circular queue is composed of icons, the icons in the circular queue are adjacent to each other and the first icon is adjacent to the last icon, so constitute a cycle.

[0134] At this point, moving the icon according to the determined touch area and / or sliding direction described in Embodiment 2 may include:

[0135] The icons in the circular queue are moved with a three-dimensional rotation effect according to the determined touch area and / or sliding direction.

[0136] In this way, after the user enters the ic...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an ion sorting and displaying method, and relates to the field of communication. According to the method, dual sequencing is achieved according to icon classes and use frequency, so that the operation that a user searches and selects icons which are always used is simplified. The method includes the steps of sequencing the icons according to the classes in the first direction, sequencing the icons of the same class according to the use frequency in the second direction, and displaying the sequenced icons on a screen. The invention further provides corresponding terminal equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication, in particular to a method and a terminal device for sorting and displaying icons. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of the performance and storage capacity of smart terminals, users download and install more and more applications. The main menu often has a large number of application program icons, but the screen size of the terminal device limits the amount of information that can be viewed at one time, and multiple pages are required to display these icons. Therefore, each time the user selects an icon, he has to search carefully in the window, and may have to turn multiple pages of screens one by one. The operation is cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious, and it is very inconvenient for the user to quickly find the needed and frequently used icons. [0003] Current smart terminal devices generally display icons in a fixed order, and support user search and ...
