Application launching method, device and terminal equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses an application starting method and device and a terminal device. The application starting method comprises the steps that after an iconcomparison instruction of at least one application of displayed theme icons is received, a system default icon of at least one application is determined; the theme icons of the applications of the displayed theme icons and the system default icons are displayed in a compared mode; when selection instructions for the system default icons or the theme icons displayed in the compared mode is received, the applications the selected system default icons or the theme icons belong to are started. In the application starting method, personalized theme icons existing on a system desktop are not needed to be changed. Due to the fact that the distinction degree of different system default icons is greater than that of different theme icons, the difficulty of looking up applications according to the system default icons can be reduced, the efficiency of looking up applications of a user is improved, and the time and effort required by application lookup of the user can be saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminals, and more specifically, to an application starting method, device and terminal equipment. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology and the advancement of technology, terminal devices such as smart phones, tablet computers and e-readers are widely popularized. A terminal device is usually installed with a variety of applications, and each application is equipped with a system default icon for the user to call to start and run the application. [0003] When a user needs to start a certain application, an existing application starting method is usually to find out the system default icon of the application that the user expects to start among the system default icons of multiple applications on the system desktop; After the default icon is selected, the terminal device starts and runs the application to which the system default icon belongs. However, the system def...

[0006] However, the inventors of the present invention found that the visual elements such as the color tone and pattern of the theme icons of various applications under the same theme are basically the same; Which theme icon among the multiple theme icons of the visual element belongs to the application that the user expects to use makes it difficult to find the theme icon of the application that the user expects to use, resulting in low efficiency in the process of finding the theme icon; moreover, the entire search process requires Concentration of users can easily lead to user fatigue; it is easy to waste a lot of time and energy of users; it is easy to lead to poor user experience

[0007] To sum up, the existing application startup methods have the defects that the system default icon cannot meet the user's individual needs, or it is difficult and inefficient to find the theme icon that the user expects to start the application.
