[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0027] The following is a detailed description of the application management determination method provided by the embodiment of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The following describes the technical solution by taking the application of the application management method to an electronic device as an example. It should be understood that the application management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can also be applied to other mobile terminals or non-mobile terminals.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 : is a flow chart of the application management method provided by the embodiment of the present application. The application management method provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0030] S101: When a first input is received, M folders are displayed in a preset area.

[0031] The first input may be an input to the target application icon, for example, long pressing the target application icon. In one embodiment, after receiving the first input to the target application icon, the target application icon is reduced to facilitate subsequent movement of the target application icon.

[0032] The above-mentioned first input may also be the first input performed by the user on the currently displayed desktop of the electronic device, for example, the user performs a sliding operation on the current desktop.

[0033] In this step, after receiving the first input from the user, in response to the first input, M folders are displayed in the preset area, wherein the M folders are arranged in a preset order, and M is a positive integer. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is one of the scenario diagrams of the application management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 2 In the scenario shown, the value of M is 4.

[0034] An optional implementation is that the M folders can be sorted from high to low according to the usage frequencies corresponding to the folders.

[0035] Another optional implementation is that the M folders may be sorted according to the first letters of the folder names.

[0036] Another optional implementation is that the target application is associated with an application tag, and based on the application tag of the target application and the application tag associated with the folder, the correlation between the target application and the folder is determined, and the M folders are sorted in descending order of correlation.

[0037] The above application tags are used to characterize the category of the target application; each folder is associated with at least one application tag, and the application tag corresponding to the folder is determined based on the applications in the folder. For example, if a folder includes a chat application and a video application, the application tags corresponding to the folder are determined to be "chat" and "video".

[0038] For example, the application tag of the target application is "Chat", indicating that the target application is a chat communication application. When the value of M is 2, the application tags corresponding to the first folder are "Chat" and "Game", indicating that the folder includes chat applications and game applications; the application tag corresponding to the second folder is "Game", indicating that the folder includes game applications. Since the target application has the same application tag as the first folder, the correlation between the target application and the first folder is higher than the correlation between the target application and the second folder, and the first file is sorted before the second file in the preset area.

[0039] For example, the application tag of the target application is "chat"; when the value of M is 2, the application tags corresponding to the first folder are "chat" and "game"; and the application tags corresponding to the second folder are "chat" and "video". In the case where both folders include the application tag "chat", the number of chat applications in the first folder and the second folder can be further determined; if the number of chat applications in the first folder is 5 and the number of chat applications in the second folder is 3, it is determined that the correlation between the target application and the first folder is higher than the correlation between the target application and the second folder, and the first file is sorted before the second file in the preset area.

[0040] S102: When a second input to a target application icon is received, move the target application icon to a target folder.

[0041] The second input may be a touch input, for example, a dragging operation on the target application icon.

[0042] The target folder is a folder associated with the target application icon, and the target folder is one of the M folders currently displayed in the preset area. For specific implementation methods of determining the target folder, please refer to the subsequent embodiments.

[0043] In this step, after the target folder is determined, the target application icon is moved to the target folder to complete the classification management operation of the target application.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, when a first input is received, M folders are displayed in a preset area; when a second input to a target application icon is received, the target application icon is moved to a target folder. In the embodiment of the present application, in cross-desktop application management, based on the second input to the target application icon, the target folder can be displayed in a preset area of ​​the current desktop, and then the target application icon is moved to the target folder, which simplifies the operation steps for classifying and managing applications, thereby improving the convenience of application management.

[0045] Optionally, when receiving the second input to the target application icon, before moving the target application icon to the target folder, the method includes:

[0046] When a third input for moving the target application icon to the display adjustment area is received, the N folders are scrolled and displayed in the preset area according to the arrangement order of the N folders to update the M folders displayed in the preset area.

[0047] It should be understood that the above-mentioned preset area is associated with N folders, the above-mentioned M folders are at least part of the N folders, and the above-mentioned N folders can be understood as the folders displayed on all desktops.

[0048] In this embodiment, the preset area includes a display adjustment area. A third input is received, and the third input is used to move the target application icon to the display adjustment area; in response to the third input, N folders are scrolled and displayed in the preset area. The N folders are arranged in a certain order. Optionally, the sorting rules of the N folders are consistent with the sorting rules of the M folders in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here. It should be understood that when the target application icon moves out of the display adjustment area, the preset area stops scrolling and displaying the N folders.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the third input is received, N folders are scrolled and displayed in the preset area to update the folders displayed in the preset area. In this way, the target folder can be located in the preset area without the need to search for the target folder through cumbersome operations, thereby improving the convenience of application management.

[0050] Optionally, the scrolling display speed of the N folders is associated with the position of the target application icon in the display adjustment area.

[0051] In this embodiment, the scrolling display speeds corresponding to the N folders are associated with the position of the target application icon in the display adjustment area. When the target application icon is located at different positions in the display adjustment area, the scrolling display speeds corresponding to the N folders are different, so that the scrolling display speeds of the N folders can be flexibly adjusted, the update speed of the M folders displayed in the preset area can be increased, and the target folder can be quickly located in the preset area.

[0052] Optionally, scrolling and displaying the N folders in the preset area according to the arrangement order of the N folders includes:

[0053] When the target application icon is moved to the first area, scrolling and displaying the N folders in a first direction in the preset area according to the arrangement order of the N folders;

[0054] When the target application icon is moved to the second area, the N folders are scrolled and displayed in the preset area along a second direction according to the arrangement order of the N folders.

[0055] The display adjustment area includes the first area and the second area. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a second scenario diagram of the application management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3As shown, the first area is set on the left side of the preset area, and the second area is set on the right side of the preset area.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the target application icon is moved to the first area, N folders are scrolled and displayed in the preset area along the first direction. Figure 3 In the scene shown, the first area is set on the left side of the preset area, and the first direction is that N folders are displayed in a circular scrolling manner from right to left.

[0057] When the target application icon is moved to the second area, N folders are scrolled and displayed in the preset area along the second direction. Figure 3 In the scene shown, the second area is set to the right of the preset area, and the second direction is that N folders are displayed in a circular scrolling manner from left to right.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first area may be arranged above the preset area, and the first direction may be from bottom to top; the second area may be arranged below the preset area, and the second direction may be from bottom to top. It should be understood that the above contents are only possible implementations of this embodiment, and the specific positions of the first area and the second area, as well as the first direction and the second direction are not specifically limited here.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the target application icon is located at different positions in the first area or the second area, the display scrolling speeds corresponding to the N folders are different.

[0060] Optionally, in Figure 3 In the scenario shown, taking the first area as an example, the first area can be divided into three parts of equal area, each part corresponding to a different display scrolling speed. In this way, when the target application icon is located in different parts of the first area, the display scrolling speed corresponding to N folders can be adjusted.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the target application icon moves to the first area or the second area, the first area or the second area is enlarged, so that the user can accurately move the target application icon to different positions in the first area or the second area to accurately adjust the scrolling speed of N folders.

[0062] Optionally, when receiving the second input to the target application icon, before moving the target application icon to the target folder, the method includes:

[0063] Obtaining a moving trajectory corresponding to the target application icon;

[0064] Determining identification information corresponding to the movement trajectory;

[0065] The folder corresponding to the identification information among the N folders is determined as the target folder.

[0066] Each of the N folders has a one-to-one correspondence with a preset identification information. An optional implementation is that the identification information is related to the name of the folder, and the identification information corresponding to the folder can be the first letter of the first character of the folder name. For example, if the name of a folder is "Social", the identification information corresponding to the folder is "S".

[0067] Another optional implementation is that N folders may be numbered in advance, and a code corresponding to each folder may be determined as identification information.

[0068] In this embodiment, the user can drag the target application icon within the preset area to form a moving track of the target application icon, and determine the target folder based on identification information corresponding to the moving track.

[0069] For easier understanding, see Figure 4 ,like Figure 4 As shown, there are 4 folders displayed in the preset area. In order from left to back, the name of the first folder is "Game", and the corresponding identification information of the folder is "Y"; the name of the second folder is "Tools", and the corresponding identification information of the folder is "G"; the name of the third folder is "Social", and the corresponding identification information of the folder is "S"; the name of the fourth folder is "Learning", and the corresponding identification information of the folder is "X".

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, when the moving trajectory of the target application icon is "S", the identification information corresponding to the target application icon is determined to be "S", and the identification information corresponding to the third folder is also "S", then the third folder "Social" can be determined as the target folder. Further, the third folder can be displayed at a preset position in a preset area for user viewing.

[0071] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the user may also drag the target application icon in any display area to form a moving track of the target application icon, rather than having to move the target application icon within a preset area to form a moving track.

[0072] In this embodiment, by determining the target folder corresponding to the moving track of the target application icon and displaying the target folder in a preset area, the target folder can be quickly located, which improves the convenience of application management.

[0073] Optionally, after moving the target application icon to the target folder, the method includes:

[0074] When the target folder is the first folder, displaying an input box;

[0075] When a fourth input to the input box is received, the named first folder is displayed.

[0076] In this embodiment, the N folders include a first folder, and the first folder is used to create a new folder. Figure 5a ,like Figure 5a As shown, the first folder is called a new folder, and it should be understood that the first folder is not a physical folder. Optionally, the first folder is sorted last among the N folders.

[0077] like Figure 5b As shown, when the target folder is the first folder, an input box is displayed.

[0078] The fourth input to the input box is received, and the first file is renamed, wherein the fourth input may be a character input by the user in the input box. The renamed folder is displayed on the current desktop.

[0079] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the user moves the target application icon to the display adjustment area to update the M folders displayed in the preset area. When the preset area displays a first folder, if the user moves the target application icon to the first folder, the first folder is determined as the target folder.

[0080] In other embodiments, the movement trajectory corresponding to the target application icon is obtained, and identification information corresponding to the movement trajectory is determined. If there is no folder corresponding to the identification information among the N folders, in this case, the first folder is determined as the target folder.

[0081] In this embodiment, by receiving the operation of associating the target application icon with the first folder, a new folder can be created and the target application can be classified into the new folder, without the need to perform cumbersome operations to create a new folder and then classify the target application into the new folder. In this way, the user's operation steps are reduced, making the classification management of applications more convenient.

[0082] Optionally, after moving the target application icon to the target folder, the method includes:

[0083] When the target folder is the second folder and the target application icon is moved to the third area, hiding the M folders displayed in the preset area;

[0084] When the target folder is the second folder and the target application icon is moved to the fourth area, a folder interface corresponding to the target folder is displayed.

[0085] In this embodiment, the N folders also include a second folder, the second folder includes at least one target object, the target object is an application icon or a folder, or the second folder is an empty folder. It should be understood that, different from the first folder, the second folder is a physical folder, that is, the second folder is a folder that already exists on the desktop.

[0086] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the preset area provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the preset area includes 4 second folders, wherein the second folder includes a third area and a fourth area.

[0087] In this embodiment, if the target folder is the second folder, when the target application icon is moved to the third area of ​​the target folder, the target application icon is moved to the target folder, and the M folders displayed in the preset area are hidden, and the current desktop is displayed.

[0088] When the target application icon is moved to the fourth area of ​​the target folder, the target application icon is moved to the target folder, and the folder interface corresponding to the target folder is displayed. In this way, after the target application icon is moved to the target folder, the folder interface corresponding to the target folder can be displayed without the user performing additional operations, thereby improving the convenience of file management.

[0089] Currently, when multiple application icons in a folder are classified and managed, that is, multiple application icons that have been classified into a folder are moved to another folder; it is necessary to first perform touch input on the desktop to make the entire desktop editable, and then drag the multiple application icons to another folder to complete the classification management of the multiple applications. The above operation of classifying and managing multiple application icons in a folder is too complicated.

[0090] In this embodiment, the user can select a preset area on the folder interface to make the entire folder editable, and then drag multiple application icons to another folder to complete the classification management of these multiple applications. During the above operation, the user does not need to perform touch input on the current desktop to make the current desktop editable, which reduces the user's operation steps and makes the classification management of applications more convenient.

[0091] To understand the overall technical solution, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is an application flow chart of the application management method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0092] like Figure 7 As shown, when the user drags the target application icon, M files are displayed in the preset area of ​​the current desktop, and the target folder among the M files is determined. If the target folder is the second folder, and the target application icon is moved to the third area of ​​the second folder, the M files displayed in the preset area are hidden on the current desktop; if the target folder is the second folder, and the target application icon is moved to the fourth area of ​​the second folder, the file interface corresponding to the target folder is displayed on the current desktop. If the target folder is not the second folder, that is, the target folder is the first folder, and the target application icon is moved to the first folder, an input box for naming the first folder is displayed on the current desktop.

[0093] like Figure 8 As shown, the application management device 200 includes:

[0094] A first display module 201, configured to display M folders in a preset area when a first input is received;

[0095] The processing module 202 is used to move the target application icon to a target folder when receiving a second input to the target application icon; wherein the target folder is a folder associated with the target application icon, and the target folder belongs to one of the M folders currently displayed in the preset area.

[0096] Optionally, the application management device 200 further includes:

[0097] The second display module is used to scroll and display the N folders in the preset area according to the arrangement order of the N folders when receiving a third input to move the target application icon to the display adjustment area, so as to update the M folders displayed in the preset area.

[0098] Optionally, the second display module is specifically used for:

[0099] When the target application icon is moved to the first area, scrolling and displaying the N folders in a first direction in the preset area according to the arrangement order of the N folders;

[0100] When the target application icon is moved to the second area, the N folders are scrolled and displayed in the preset area along a second direction according to the arrangement order of the N folders.

[0101] Optionally, the application management device 200 further includes:

[0102] An acquisition module, used to acquire a movement trajectory corresponding to the target application icon;

[0103] A first determining module, used to determine identification information corresponding to the movement trajectory;

[0104] The second determining module is used to determine the folder corresponding to the identification information among the N folders as the target folder.

[0105] Optionally, the application management device 200 further includes:

[0106] A third display module, configured to display an input box when the target folder is the first folder;

[0107] The fourth display module is used to display the named first folder when receiving a fourth input to the input box.

[0108] Optionally, the application management device 200 further includes:

[0109] a fifth display module, configured to hide the M folders displayed in the preset area when the target folder is the second folder and the target application icon is moved to the third area;

[0110] The sixth display module is used to display a folder interface corresponding to the target folder when the target folder is the second folder and the target application icon is moved to the fourth area.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present application, when performing cross-desktop application management, based on the second input of the target application icon, the target folder can be displayed in a preset area of ​​the current desktop, and then the target application icon can be moved to the target folder. This simplifies the operating steps for classifying and managing applications, thereby improving the convenience of application management.
