Embodiment 1

[0026] figure 1 It is a flow chart of the implementation of the method for automatic layout of application icons provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and is described in detail as follows:

[0027] In step S101, obtain the pixel average value of the application icon;

[0028] Obtain the average value of pixels in the center of each application icon in the mobile terminal;

[0029] Sort app icons in ascending order of pixel average:

[0030] In step S102, the desktop background image is read, and the contour area is extracted;

[0031] Among them, the contour regions whose area is smaller than the preset threshold are merged into adjacent contour regions to avoid fragmentation and useless contour regions.

[0032] In step S103, in the extracted outline area, select an icon placement area;

[0033] In step S104, if there are multiple icon placement areas, the difference between the pixel average value of the icon placement area and the pixel average value of ...

Embodiment 2

[0038] The embodiment of the present invention describes the implementation process of step S102 of the automatic layout method for application icons, which is described in detail as follows:

[0039] Through the image processing method of boundary detection, the contour area is extracted;

[0040] By receiving manual drawing, the contour area is extracted.

Embodiment 3

[0042] figure 2 It is the implementation flow chart of step S103 of the method for automatic layout of application icons provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and is described in detail as follows:

[0043] In step S201, it is judged whether the extracted outline area is an outline area manually drawn by the user;

[0044] In step S202, if the extracted outline area is an outline area manually drawn by the user, then use the extracted outline area as the selected icon placement area;

[0045] In step S203, if the extracted outline area is not manually drawn by the user, select an outline area other than the center of the desktop background image as the icon placement area, or use the user's manually selected outline area as the selected icon placement area area.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the user can draw an icon placement area, for example, draw a special graph as the icon placement area, so that the icon layout is arranged accordi...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of mobile terminals and provides an automatic application icon arranging method and device. The automatic application icon arranging method includes the steps that pixel mean values of application icons are acquired; a desktop background image is read, and a contour region is extracted; icon arranging regions are selected in the extracted contour region; if multiple icon arranging regions exist, the difference between pixel mean values of the icon arranging regions and the pixel mean values of the application icons is acquired, and the application icons are arranged according to the difference. The problem that in the prior art, desktop background colors and application icon colors are easily mixed together, and consequently a user cannot rapidly find target application icons is solved. The method and device have the advantages that on the one hand, the icons are arranged in the icon arranging regions, wherein the pixel mean values of the icon arranging regions and the pixel mean values of the icons differ greatly, and it is avoided that the background colors are too close, so that icon recognition of the user is disturbed; on the other hand, the application icons can be automatically arranged according to the favors of the user, and the user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mobile terminals, and in particular relates to a method and device for automatic layout of application icons. Background technique [0002] The widespread popularity of smart electronic devices is accompanied by the generation of a large number of applications. On the desktop of an electronic device, a large number of application program icons, referred to as application icons for short, will be arranged in sequence. In order to beautify the desktop background, the general user of the application icons will set different pictures as the desktop background to bring a good visual experience. [0003] However, the colors of the application icons are not the same, and sometimes the desktop background color and the application icon color are easily confused together, so that the user cannot quickly find the target application icon. Sometimes users do not want certain areas of interest to be obscured in the de...
