[0064] The following description will be made by taking a mobile terminal as an example, and those skilled in the art will understand that, in addition to components specifically used for mobile purposes, the construction according to the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to fixed-type terminals.

[0065] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present application, the mobile terminal 100 may include: RF (Radio Frequency, radio frequency) unit 101, WiFi module 102, audio output unit 103, A / V (audio / video) input unit 104, sensor 105, display unit 106, user input unit 107, interface unit 108, memory 109, processor 110, and power supply 111 and other components. Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 The structure of the mobile terminal shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0066] Combine the following Figure 1 The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal:

[0067] The radio frequency unit 101 can be used for receiving and sending signals during information transmission or communication. Specifically, after receiving the downlink information of the base station, it is sent to the processor 110 for processing; in addition, the uplink data is sent to the base station. Generally, the radio frequency unit 101 includes but is not limited to an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low noise amplifier, a duplexer, etc. In addition, the radio frequency unit 101 can also communicate with the network and other devices through wireless communication. The above-mentioned wireless communication can use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution) and 5G, etc.

[0068] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. Mobile terminals can help users send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media through WiFi module 102. It provides users with wireless broadband Internet access. Figure 1 The WiFi module 102 is shown, but it is understandable that it is not a necessary component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without changing the essence of the application.

[0069] The audio output unit 103 can convert the audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, etc. Moreover, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (for example, a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, etc.

[0070] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals.

The processed image frame can be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frame processed by the graphics processor 1041 can be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or sent via the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 can receive sound (audio data) via the microphone 1042 in a telephone call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, and other operating modes, and can process such sound into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data can be converted into a format output that can be sent to a mobile communication base station via the radio frequency unit 101 in the case of a telephone call mode. The microphone 1042 can implement various types of noise elimination (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated in the process of receiving and sending audio signals.

[0071] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Specifically, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that identify the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured on the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be repeated here.

Specifically, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect the user's touch operation on or near it (such as the user's operation on the touch panel 1071 or near the touch panel 1071 using any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, stylus, etc.), and drive the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch orientation, detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into the touch point coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 110, and can receive and execute the command sent by the processor 110. In addition, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented in various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic waves. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may also include other input devices 1072. Specifically, the other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, a function key (such as a volume control key, a switch key, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0074] Optionally, the touch panel 1071 may cover the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. Then, the processor 110 provides corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 according to the type of touch event. Figure 1 In the figure, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are used as two independent components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. However, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 can be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, which is not limited here.

[0076] The memory 109 can be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 109 can mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. Optionally, the program storage area can store an operating system, an application required for at least one function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area can store data created according to the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.), etc. In addition, the memory 109 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage devices.

[0077] The processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal. It uses various interfaces and lines to connect various parts of the entire mobile terminal. It executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data by running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 109, and calling data stored in the memory 109, so as to monitor the mobile terminal as a whole. The processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor mainly processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs, and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communications. It is understandable that the above-mentioned modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 110.

[0078] The mobile terminal 100 may also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 111 may be logically connected to the processor 110 via a power management system, thereby implementing functions such as managing charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system.

[0092] The mobile terminal may include at least one icon area, wherein each icon area in the at least one icon area may refer to a large folder or an application card, etc. It is understandable that the icon area in the mobile terminal includes at least one icon sub-area, and any icon sub-area in the at least one icon sub-area may display any icon in the icon area. Optionally, different icon areas may have different area identifiers, wherein the area identifiers of different icon areas may be set by the mobile terminal or by the user.

[0093] Optionally, the icons contained in the icon area may refer to one or more of the following: an icon for indicating an application (i.e., an icon corresponding to the application), an icon for indicating an application function (optionally a payment icon or a scan icon, etc.), an icon for indicating a function of the mobile terminal (optionally a flashlight icon or a setting icon, etc.), an icon for indicating content (optionally an icon for notification information or an icon for conversation content, etc.).

[0094] For ease of explanation, the following explanation is based on the example that the icon area refers to a large folder, and the icons in the icon area refer to icons used to indicate applications. It can be understood that the icon area is different from the small folder in that the user can operate the icon displayed in the icon sub-area of ​​the icon area or the application corresponding to the icon without expanding the icon area. Optionally, the user can click on any icon displayed in each icon sub-area of ​​the icon area without expanding the icon area, and the mobile terminal can respond to the user's click operation and start the application corresponding to the icon indicated by the user's click operation.

[0095] Optionally, the mobile terminal may include a lock icon area, and the user can only perform a start operation on the icons in the lock icon area to start the program corresponding to the icon indicated by the start operation, such as starting the application corresponding to the icon, etc. However, the user cannot perform other operations on the icons in the lock icon area, such as removing or uninstalling operations.

[0096] Optionally, the mobile terminal can use any icon in the display screen as the first icon, and can use any icon in the display screen other than the first icon as the second icon. Optionally, the number of second icons can be multiple, that is, the mobile terminal can use multiple icons in the display screen other than the first icon as the second icon.

[0097] Optionally, the mobile terminal may trigger a sliding instruction on one or more icons in the display screen, and the end point position of the sliding track indicated by the sliding instruction is located at the icon display position of any icon other than the one or more icons in the display screen, then the mobile terminal may use the icon displayed at the icon display position where the end point position is located as the first icon, and use the one or more icons as the second icon. Optionally, if the user performs a sliding operation on one or more icons in the display screen, then the mobile terminal may trigger a sliding instruction on the one or more icons.

[0098] For example, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of an icon provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, 410 is the display interface of the mobile terminal. The display interface 410 includes icons A, B and C. If the user slides icon A, and the end point of the sliding track indicated by the sliding operation is located at the icon display position where icon B is located, then the mobile terminal can use icon B as the first icon and icon A as the second icon.

[0099] S20: Determine a regional display position of the target icon region, and display the first icon and / or the second icon at the regional display position.

[0100] Optionally, the mobile terminal may use any area display position where the first icon is displayed as the area display position of the target icon area. Figure 4 As shown, taking the first icon as icon B as an example, the mobile terminal may use the area display position 411 as the area display position of the target icon area, wherein the first icon is displayed at the area display position 411 .

[0101] S30: Move icons other than the first icon and / or the second icon displayed at the regional display position to a preset icon display position at the non-regional display position.

[0102] The preset icon display position may refer to any icon display position in the display screen that can be used to display an icon. Optionally, the preset icon display position may include but is not limited to: an empty icon display position, a non-empty icon display position, and the like. Optionally, an empty icon display position may refer to an icon display position that can be used to display an icon and does not display any icon at the current system time; a non-empty icon display position may refer to an icon display position that can be used to display an icon and displays any icon at the current system time.

[0103] Optionally, Figure 5a A schematic diagram of another icon provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5a As shown, the display interface 510 includes icons A, B, C, and D. Taking the first icon as icon B as an example, the minimum display area formed by the dotted line is the display position of each icon in the display interface 510. Assuming that the preset icon display position refers to an empty icon display position, then the icon display position where no icon is displayed is the preset icon display position. Assuming that the mobile terminal uses the regional display position 511 as the regional display position of the target icon area, since the icons displayed at the regional display position 511 include icon B and icon C, the mobile terminal can move icon C to the preset icon display position, such as icon display position 512. If the mobile terminal moves icon C to icon display position 512, the mobile terminal can display icon C at icon display position 521.

[0104] Optionally, Figure 5b A schematic diagram of another icon provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5bAs shown, taking the first icon as icon B as an example, the minimum display area formed by the dotted line is the display position of each icon in the display interface 510, assuming that the preset icon display position is the icon display position where icon D is located, and the mobile terminal uses the regional display position 531 as the regional display position of the target icon area, since the icons displayed at the regional display position 531 include icon B and icon C, the mobile terminal can move icon C to the preset icon display position (i.e., the icon display position where icon D is located), thereby obtaining the display interface 540. Optionally, when the mobile terminal moves icon C to the icon display position where icon D is located, the mobile terminal can display icon D in any vacant icon display position on the display screen.

[0105] Optionally, there are multiple preset icon display positions, and the specific implementation process of the mobile terminal moving icons other than the first icon and / or the second icon displayed in the regional display position to the preset icon display position of the non-regional display position may be: for at least one icon other than the first icon and / or the second icon displayed in the regional display position, determining the preset icon display position that is closest to at least one icon; and moving at least one icon to the determined preset icon display position.

[0106] For example, Figure 5b As shown, taking the first icon as icon B and the second icon as icon A as an example, assuming that the area display position of the target icon area is area display position 531, since the icons displayed at area display position 531 include icon C in addition to the first icon and / or the second icon, the mobile terminal can determine that the preset icon display position closest to icon C is the icon display position where icon D is located, and move icon C to the determined preset icon display position, thereby displaying icon C at the icon display position where icon D is located.

[0107] S40: Generate a target icon area at the area display position, and display or move the first icon and the second icon to the target icon area.

[0108] Optionally, when the first icon and the second icon are displayed at the regional display position, the mobile terminal may display the first icon and the second icon in the target icon area; when the first icon is displayed at the regional display position and the second icon is displayed at the non-regional display position, the mobile terminal may display the first icon in the target icon area, move the second icon to the target icon area and display the second icon in the target icon area. Optionally, when the first icon and the second icon are adjacent, that is, the icon display position where the first icon is located is adjacent to the icon display position where the second icon is located, the mobile terminal may directly display the first icon and the second icon in the target icon area without the operation of moving the first icon and / or the second icon to the target icon area.

[0109] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, assuming that the area display position of the target icon area is area display position 411, the first icon is icon B, and the second icon is icon A, the mobile terminal can generate a target icon area in area display position 411, and display or move the first icon and the second icon to the target icon area, thereby obtaining display interface 420. The area display position of the target icon area (i.e., icon area 421) in display interface 420 is area display position 422, the icons in the target icon area include the first icon and the second icon, and the target icon area includes four icon sub-areas.

[0110] Through the embodiments of the present application, the mobile terminal can obtain the first icon and the second icon, and generate a target icon area at the regional display position of the determined target icon area, and the first icon and / or the second icon are displayed at the regional display position, so that the first icon and the second icon are displayed or moved to the target icon area, which facilitates the user to quickly find the target icon area, and the first icon and the second icon displayed or moved to the target icon area.

[0111] See also Figure 6 The embodiment shown, Figure 6 A flowchart of another method for managing icon areas provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method can be applied to a mobile terminal or a fixed terminal. For the sake of convenience, the present application embodiment is described by taking the execution subject as a mobile terminal as an example. Optionally, the method for managing icon areas shown in this embodiment includes:

[0112] S201: Determine a first icon display position of a first icon.

[0113] The mobile terminal may use the icon display position where the first icon is located as the first icon display position, for example, Figure 4 As shown, taking the first icon as icon B as an example, the mobile terminal may use the icon display position where icon B is located (ie, icon display position 412) as the first icon display position.

[0114] S202: Determine a display position of a target icon area according to a display position of a first icon.

[0115] Optionally, before determining the regional display position of the target icon area according to the first icon display position, the mobile terminal may determine the second icon display position of the second icon, and determine, based on the first icon display position and the second icon display position, that a preset condition is not met, where the preset condition is the condition for determining the above-mentioned regional display position according to the first icon display position and the second icon display position, triggering the execution of determining the regional display position of the target icon area according to the first icon display position.

[0116] The second icon display position may refer to the icon display position where the second icon is located. The preset condition may refer to the second icon display position being located in the target display area, and the target display area may refer to an m*n display area formed with the first icon display position as the center, that is, the target display area may include m*n icon display positions, and optionally, m is a positive integer and n is a positive integer.

[0117] Optionally, the mobile terminal may determine the values ​​of m and n according to a preset size of the target icon area, and the preset size of the target icon area may describe the number of icon sub-areas contained in the target icon area, and the distribution of the icon sub-areas contained in the target icon area. It is understandable that the target display area may include various possible area display positions of the target icon area, and the first icon is displayed at each possible area display position, that is, the target display area may include various area display positions displaying the first icon, and the number of icon display positions contained in each area display position displaying the first icon is the same as the number of icon sub-areas indicated by the preset size of the target icon area.

[0118] Optionally, assuming that the preset size of the target icon area is 2*2, that is, the target icon area can include 4 icon sub-areas, the icon sub-areas included in the target icon area are distributed in 2 rows, each row includes 2 icon sub-areas, the size of each icon sub-area is preset, and the sizes of all icon sub-areas are the same, then the target display area can include 4 possible area display positions of the target icon area, each possible area display position includes 4 icon display positions, and the first icon is displayed at each possible area display position. It can be understood that the target display area can refer to a 3*3 display area formed with the first icon display position as the center.

[0119] Optionally, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of another icon provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 7 As shown, taking the first icon as icon B as an example, assuming that the preset size of the target icon area is 2*2, the target display area (i.e., display area 711) may refer to a 3*3 display area formed with the first icon display position as the center. If the second icon is icon A, then the second icon display position (i.e., the icon display position where icon A is located) is not located in the target display area, then the mobile terminal may determine that the preset condition is not met based on the first icon display position and the second icon display position, and then may trigger the execution of the determination of the regional display position of the target icon area based on the first icon display position.

[0120] Optionally, the mobile terminal may use any area display position including the first icon display position as the area display position of the target icon area, that is, the mobile terminal may use any area display position where the first icon is displayed as the area display position of the target icon area.

[0121] Alternatively, if Figure 5a As shown, taking the first icon as icon B and the second icon as icon A as an example, according to the first icon display position (i.e., the icon display position where icon B is located), the mobile terminal can use the area display position 511 as the area display position of the target icon area, and the area display position 511 includes the first icon display position, i.e., the first icon is displayed on the area display position 511.

[0122] Optionally, the mobile terminal may determine the regional priority of each regional display position displaying the first icon, and determine the regional display position of the target icon area according to the regional priority and the first icon display position. It is understandable that the mobile terminal may determine the regional display position displaying the first icon in sequence according to the regional priority, until the regional display position determined according to the regional priority satisfies the icon area display condition, and then the regional display position satisfying the icon area display condition is used as the regional display position of the target icon area. The above-mentioned icon area display condition may refer to that the regional display position does not include any icon other than the first icon, or may refer to that the number of icons other than the first icon and / or the second icon in the regional display position is less than or equal to the number of preset icon display positions in the desktop display interface where the first icon is located, and the present application does not limit this.

[0123] Optionally, when the target display area refers to a 3*3 display area formed with the first icon display position as the center, the area priority of each area display position displaying the first icon may be in order from high to low: the area display position located at the upper left of the target display area, the area display position located at the upper right of the target display area, the area display position located at the lower left of the target display area, and the area display position located at the lower right of the target display area. It can be understood that the area display position located in the upper left of the target display area may refer to: the area display position located in the target display area, and the icon display positions other than the first icon display position in the area display position are all located to the left, above or upper left of the first icon display position; the area display position located in the upper right of the target display area may refer to: the area display position located in the target display area, and the icon display positions other than the first icon display position in the area display position are all located to the right, above or upper right of the first icon display position; the area display position located in the lower left of the target display area may refer to: the area display position located in the target display area, and the icon display positions other than the first icon display position in the area display position are all located to the left, below or lower left of the first icon display position; the area display position located in the lower right of the target display area may refer to: the area display position located in the target display area, and the icon display positions other than the first icon display position in the area display position are all located to the right, below or lower right of the first icon display position.

[0124] Optionally, Figure 8 A schematic diagram of another icon provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 8As shown, taking the first icon as icon B as an example, the target display area may refer to a 3*3 display area formed with the first icon display position (i.e., the icon display position where icon B is located) as the center, and the mobile terminal may determine the regional display position of the target icon area according to the regional priority and the first icon display position. According to the regional priority of each regional display position where the first icon is displayed, the mobile terminal may first determine whether the regional display position (i.e., regional display position 811) located at the upper left of the target display area meets the icon regional display condition, wherein the regional display position 811 is located in the target display area, and the icon display positions other than the first icon display position in the regional display position 811 include icon display position 812 (i.e., the icon display position where icon D is located), icon display position 813, and icon display position 814 (i.e., the icon display position where icon E is located), and icon display position 812 is located to the left of the first icon display position, icon display position 813 is located above the first icon display position, and icon display position 814 is located to the upper left of the first icon display position. Assuming that the icon area display condition means that the area display position does not include any icon other than the first icon, since the area display position 811 also includes icons E and D, the mobile terminal can determine that the area display position 811 does not meet the icon area display condition. Then, the mobile terminal can determine whether the area display position (i.e., area display position 821) located in the upper right of the target display area meets the icon area display condition, wherein the area display position 821 is located in the target display area, and the icon display positions other than the first icon display position in the area display position 821 include icon display position 822, icon display position 823, and icon display position 824, and icon display position 822 is located to the right of the first icon display position, icon display position 823 is located above the first icon display position, and icon display position 824 is located to the upper right of the first icon display position. Since the area display position 821 does not include any icon other than the first icon, the mobile terminal can determine that the area display position 821 meets the icon area display condition, and uses the area display position 821 as the area display position of the target icon area. It can be understood that, assuming that the area display position 821 does not meet the icon area display conditions, the mobile terminal can sequentially determine whether the area display position located at the lower left of the target display area (i.e., the area display position including icon display position 812, icon display position 815, icon display position 816, and the first icon display position) and the area display position located at the lower right of the target display area (i.e., the area display position including icon display position 816, icon display position 817, icon display position 818, and the first icon display position) meet the icon area display conditions, and use the area display position that meets the icon area display conditions as the area display position of the target icon area.

[0125] Optionally, the order of the regional priorities of the above-mentioned regional display positions from high to low can also be: the regional display position located at the upper right of the target display area, the regional display position located at the upper left of the target display area, the regional display position located at the lower right of the target display area, and the regional display position located at the lower left of the target display area, and the present application does not limit this.

[0126] Optionally, the mobile terminal can determine the second icon display position of the second icon; if the first icon display position and the second icon display position do not meet the preset conditions, trigger the execution of determining the regional display position of the target icon area according to the first icon display position; if the preset conditions are met, trigger the execution of determining the regional display position of the target icon area according to the first icon display position and the second icon display position.

[0127] Optionally, the preset condition may refer to: the distance between the first icon display position and the second icon display position matches the preset size of the target icon area, that is, the distance between the first icon display position and the second icon display position is less than or equal to the preset area length. It can be understood that if the distance between the first icon display position and the second icon display position is less than or equal to the preset area length, that is, the above distance matches the preset size of the target icon area, then the preset condition is met. Optionally, the mobile terminal can determine the preset area length according to the preset size of the target icon area, and the specific implementation process of determining the preset area length according to the preset size can be: determine the number of icon display positions included in the area display position of the target icon area and the distribution mode of the icon display positions according to the preset size, so as to use the diagonal length of the above area display position as the above preset area length. Optionally, assuming that the preset size is 2*2, the mobile terminal can determine that the number of icon display positions included in the area display position of the target icon area is 4, and the included icon display positions are distributed in 2 rows, each row containing 2 icon display positions, so as to determine the diagonal length of the area display position of the target icon area.

[0128] It can be understood that when and only when the second icon display position is located in the target display area, the distance between the first icon display position and the second icon display position matches the preset size of the target icon area, that is, the distance between the first icon display position and the second icon display position is less than or equal to the preset area length.

[0129] For example, Figure 7As shown, taking the first icon as icon B as an example, assuming that the preset size of the target icon area is 3*3, the target display area (i.e., display area 711) may refer to a 3*3 display area formed with the first icon display position as the center. If the second icon is icon C, the second icon display position (i.e., the icon display position where icon C is located) is located in the target display area, that is, the distance between the first icon display position and the second icon display position matches the preset size of the target icon area, then the mobile terminal can determine that the preset condition is met based on the first icon display position and the second icon display position, thereby triggering the execution of the determination of the regional display position of the target icon area based on the first icon display position and the second icon display position.

[0130] Optionally, the specific implementation process of the mobile terminal determining the area display position of the target icon area according to the first icon display position may be as shown in step 621 and step 622:

[0131] 621. Determine a second icon display position of a second icon.

[0132] For example, Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of another icon provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig. 9 As shown, assuming that the second icon is icon A, the mobile terminal can use the icon display position where icon A is located as the second icon display position.

[0133] Optionally, the number of second icons is at least two, and the specific implementation process of the mobile terminal determining the second icon display position of the second icon may be: triggering an overlay instruction for at least two second icons; in response to the overlay instruction, performing position overlay processing on each of the at least two second icons to obtain a target icon display position; and using the target icon display position as the second icon display position.

[0134] Optionally, if the user performs an overlay operation on multiple second icons, the mobile terminal may trigger an overlay instruction on the above-mentioned multiple second icons. The overlay operation may refer to a long press operation of the user on multiple second icons, or may refer to a sliding operation of the user on multiple second icons. This application does not limit the specific implementation method of the overlay operation.

[0135] The target icon display position may be any icon display position among the icon display positions where the plurality of second icons are located, or may be an icon display position specified by a user, which is not limited in the present application.

[0136] For example, Fig.10 A schematic diagram of another icon provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.10As shown, the display interface 1010 includes icons A, B, and C. If the user performs an overlay operation on multiple second icons (i.e., icon A and icon C), the mobile terminal can trigger an overlay instruction on the multiple second icons, and respond to the overlay instruction to overlay each of the multiple second icons to obtain a target icon display position. Assuming that the target display position is the icon display position where icon A is located, the mobile terminal can use the icon display position where icon A is located as the second icon display position.

[0137] Optionally, the second icon is at least two icons displayed in superposition mode, and the mobile terminal can obtain the target icon display position according to the at least two icons displayed in superposition mode, and use the target icon display position as the second icon display position. Optionally, the mobile terminal can use the icon display position where the at least two icons displayed in superposition mode are located as the target icon display position. The above-mentioned superposition mode may refer to at least two icons being displayed at the same icon display position.

[0138] 622. Determine an area display position of a target icon area according to the first icon display position and the second icon display position.

[0139] Optionally, the specific implementation process of the mobile terminal determining the regional display position of the target icon area according to the first icon display position and the second icon display position can be: determining the regional display position of the target icon area according to the first icon display position and the second icon display position, and the regional display position includes the first icon display position and the second icon display position. It can be understood that the mobile terminal can determine the various regional boundaries of the regional display position of the target icon area according to the first icon display position and the second icon display position, and use the display position formed by connecting the above-mentioned various regional boundaries end to end as the regional display position of the target icon area.

[0140] Optionally, when determining the various area boundaries of the area display position of the target icon area, the mobile terminal may use a straight line passing through the leftmost borders of the first icon display position and the second icon display position as an area boundary of the area display position of the target icon area, a straight line passing through the rightmost borders of the first icon display position and the second icon display position as an area boundary of the area display position of the target icon area, a straight line passing through the topmost borders of the first icon display position and the second icon display position as an area boundary of the area display position of the target icon area, and a straight line passing through the bottommost borders of the first icon display position and the second icon display position as an area boundary of the area display position of the target icon area.

[0141] For example, Fig. 9As shown, taking the first icon as icon B and the second icon as icon A as an example, the mobile terminal can use the straight line passing through the left side border of the first icon display position as a regional boundary of the regional display position of the target icon area, the straight line passing through the right side border of the second icon display position as a regional boundary of the regional display position of the target icon area, the straight line passing through the upper side border of the second icon display position as a regional boundary of the regional display position of the target icon area, and the straight line passing through the lower side border of the first icon display position as a regional boundary of the regional display position of the target icon area, thereby using the display position (i.e., regional display position 911) formed by connecting the above-mentioned regional boundaries end to end as the regional display position of the target icon area.

[0142] Optionally, the specific implementation process of the mobile terminal determining the regional display position of the target icon area based on the first icon display position and the second icon display position can be: determining a regional display position whose number of icon display positions is the number of icon sub-areas indicated by the preset size, and using the determined regional display position as the regional display position of the target icon area, the determined regional display position including the first icon display position and the second icon display position. It is understandable that the mobile terminal can use the regional display position where the first icon and the second icon are displayed as the regional display position of the target icon area, and the regional display position of the target icon area includes the same number of icon display positions as the number of icon sub-areas indicated by the preset size of the target icon area.

[0143] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, taking the first icon as icon B and the second icon as icon A as an example, assuming that the preset size of the target icon area is 2*2, that is, the mobile terminal can determine that the number of icon display positions is 4 regional display positions, and the determined regional display positions include the first icon display position and the second icon display position, that is, the first icon and the second icon are displayed at the determined regional display position. It can be understood that the mobile terminal can use the regional display position 911 as the above-determined regional display position, and use the regional display position 911 as the regional display position of the target icon area.

[0144] Optionally, if the preset size of the target icon area is 2*2, that is, the target display area is a 3*3 display area, then the manner in which the mobile terminal determines the number of icon display positions equal to the number of icon sub-areas indicated by the preset size may include the following three:

[0145] 1. If the second icon is located on the diagonal line of the target display area, that is, the first icon and the second icon are diagonal, and there is only one regional display position displaying the first icon and the second icon, then the mobile terminal can use the regional display position displaying the first icon and the second icon as the determined regional display position.

[0146] Alternatively, if Fig. 9 As shown, taking the first icon as icon B and the second icon as icon A as an example, the second icon is located on the diagonal line of the target display area, that is, the first icon and the second icon are diagonal, then the number of icon display positions is 4 and the area display positions displaying the first icon and the second icon only include area display position 911, then the mobile terminal can use area display position 911 as the determined area display position, that is, the mobile terminal can use area display position 911 as the area display position of the target icon area.

[0147] 2. If the second icon is located vertically above or below the first icon, and the number of regional display positions displaying the first icon and the second icon is 2, then the mobile terminal can determine the horizontal priority of each regional display position displaying the first icon and the second icon, and determine the regional display position whose number of icon display positions is the number of icon sub-areas indicated by the preset size based on the horizontal priority and the icon area display condition.

[0148] The mobile terminal may use the icon display positions other than the first icon display position and the second icon display position in the regional display position as candidate icon display positions. The above-mentioned horizontal priority may refer to the priority of the third regional display position being higher than the priority of the fourth regional display position, wherein the third regional display position may refer to the regional display position where the candidate icon display position is located to the left of the first icon display position and the second icon display position, and the fourth regional display position may refer to the regional display position where the candidate icon display position is located to the right of the first icon display position and the second icon display position. The above-mentioned horizontal priority may also refer to the priority of the fourth regional display position being higher than the priority of the third regional display position, and the present application does not limit the specific content of the horizontal priority.

[0149] Optionally, Fig.11 A schematic diagram of another icon provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.11As shown, the first icon is icon B and the second icon is icon A, that is, the second icon is located vertically above the first icon. Assuming that the horizontal priority means that the priority of the third area display position (i.e., area display position 1111) is higher than the priority of the fourth area display position (i.e., area display position 1121), wherein the candidate icon display position in the third area display position (i.e., the icon display position where icon E and icon D are located) is located to the left of the first icon display position and the second icon display position, and the candidate icon display position in the fourth area display position (i.e., icon display position 1122 and icon display position 1123) is located to the right of the first icon display position and the second icon display position, then the mobile terminal can first determine whether the area display position 1111 meets the icon area display condition, and if the icon area display condition is met, the area display position 1111 is used as the determined area display position. Assuming that the icon area display condition means that the area display position does not include any icon other than the first icon and the second icon, since the area display position 1111 also includes icons E and D, the mobile terminal can determine that the area display position 1111 does not meet the icon area display condition. The mobile terminal can then determine whether the area display position 1121 satisfies the icon area display conditions. Since the area display position 1121 does not include any icons other than the first icon and the second icon, the mobile terminal can determine that the area display position 1121 satisfies the icon area display conditions, and can use the area display position 1121 as the determined area display position, thereby using the area display position 1121 as the area display position of the target icon area.

[0150] 3. If the second icon is located to the horizontal left or right of the first icon, and the number of regional display positions displaying the first icon and the second icon is 2, then the mobile terminal can determine the vertical priority of each regional display position displaying the first icon and the second icon, and determine, based on the vertical priority and the icon area display condition, the number of regional display positions of the icon display positions that is the number of icon sub-areas indicated by the preset size.

[0151] The vertical priority mentioned above may refer to the priority of the fifth area display position being higher than the priority of the sixth area display position, wherein the fifth area display position may refer to the area display position where the candidate icon display position is located below the first icon display position and the second icon display position, and the sixth area display position may refer to the area display position where the candidate icon display position is located above the first icon display position and the second icon display position. The vertical priority mentioned above may also refer to the priority of the sixth area display position being higher than the priority of the fifth area display position, and the present application does not limit the specific content of the vertical priority.

[0152] Optionally, Fig.12A schematic diagram of another icon provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.12 As shown, taking the first icon as icon B and the second icon as icon A as an example, that is, the second icon is located horizontally to the left of the first icon, assuming that the vertical priority means that the priority of the fifth regional display position (i.e., regional display position 1211) is higher than the priority of the sixth regional display position (i.e., regional display position 1221), wherein the candidate icon display positions in the fifth regional display position (i.e., icon display position 1212 and icon display position 1213) are located below the first icon display position and the second icon display position, and the candidate icon display positions in the sixth regional display position (i.e., icon display position 1222 and icon display position 1223) are located above the first icon display position and the second icon display position, then the mobile terminal can first determine whether the regional display position 1211 satisfies the icon regional display condition, and if it satisfies the icon regional display condition, the regional display position 1211 is used as the determined regional display position. Assuming that the icon regional display condition means that the regional display position does not include any icon other than the first icon and the second icon, since the regional display position 1211 also includes icon F, the mobile terminal can determine that the regional display position 1211 does not meet the icon regional display condition. The mobile terminal can then determine whether the area display position 1221 satisfies the icon area display conditions. Since the area display position 1221 does not include any icons other than the first icon and the second icon, the mobile terminal can determine that the area display position 1221 satisfies the icon area display conditions, and can use the area display position 1221 as the determined area display position, thereby using the area display position 1221 as the area display position of the target icon area.

[0153] Optionally, if the area display positions displaying the first icon and the second icon do not meet the icon area display conditions, the mobile terminal may take any area display position in the display screen that meets the icon area display conditions as the determined area display position, and the determined area display position may include the first icon display position or the second icon display position, and may not include either the first icon display position or the second icon display position.

[0154] Through the embodiments of the present application, the mobile terminal can determine the regional display position of the target icon area only based on the first icon display position, or can determine the regional display position of the target icon area based on the first icon display position and the second icon display position, thereby determining the regional display position of the target icon area in the display screen according to a certain rule, thereby facilitating the user to quickly find the target icon area.
