Abstract

The invention discloses an icon arranging method and device. The icon arranging method is applied to electronic equipment and comprises the steps that first class information of a first application program is obtained, whether a second application program with the first class information exists is searched in the electronic equipment, and if the second application program with the first class information exists, an icon of the first application program is arranged to be adjacent to an icon to the second application program. Therefore, when searching the icon, a user can carry out the searching operation according to the application program related to the icon or the class of a document, due to the fact that icon clusters having the same attribute information are concentrated together, once one icon is found, a set of icons having the same attribute information can be found, further the searching range of the icon is narrowed, the searching time of the icon is saved, and user experience is sufficiently improved.
