Application starting method, device base on icon shift and terminal device

Abstract

The invention discloses an application starting method, device based on icon shift and a terminal device. The method comprises the steps of determining system default icons of multiple applications after receiving a shift instruction aiming at the theme icons of applications on the desktop; displaying a system default icon domain interface, and displaying the system default icons of the multiple applications in the system default icon domain interface; after receiving a selection instruction aiming at the displayed system default icon, starting the application which belongs to the selected system default icon domain. According to the application starting method, device based on icon shift and the terminal device, high discrimination is among the system default icons of the multiple applications, compared with finding the application according to the theme icons, the difficulty of finding the application according to the system default icons is sharply reduced, and the efficiency for a user to find out the application which is expected to be started is sharply improved. Therefore, the efficiency of starting of the whole application is improved, and time and energy of the user are saved. Moreover, there is no need to replace the theme icons on the system desktop, and personalized demands of the user are met.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminals, and more specifically, to an icon switching-based application startup 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.

Problems solved by technology

[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.
