[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within 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 icon management method provided by the embodiment of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] At present, the desktop form of an electronic device may include two forms of desktops, the original desktop and the atomic component desktop. The user can trigger the electronic device to switch to another desktop by inputting on any desktop. However, since the original desktop and the atomic component desktop are two independent desktops, that is, when the user inputs an application icon in any desktop, the other desktop will not respond to the user's input at this time. Therefore, the user manages the application icons in one desktop (such as the atomic component desktop), that is, drags and inputs multiple application icons to aggregate the multiple application icons in one atomic component. If the user triggers the electronic device to switch from the atomic component desktop to the original desktop, the electronic device does not aggregate the application icons in the original desktop, so that the user needs to search for the application icons that need to be sorted one by one from all the icons on the original desktop, so the user's operation is cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, after a user makes a first input to an atomic component desktop that includes at least one application component so that the electronic device switches from the atomic component desktop to the original desktop, the electronic device can display a first control in the original desktop, and the first control is used to manage application icons in the target desktop, so that the user can make a second input to the first control to trigger the electronic device to manage application icons corresponding to at least one application component in the original desktop.

[0030] Through this solution, after the user triggers the electronic device to switch from the atomic component desktop to the original desktop, the user can directly input the first control on the original desktop, so that the electronic device can quickly manage multiple application icons in the original desktop (i.e., application icons corresponding to the application components in the atomic component desktop), without the user having to search one by one for the application icons to be organized from all the icons on the original desktop. This simplifies the user's operation of organizing application icons, saves the user's time, and improves the convenience of the user in organizing application icons. This improves the efficiency and flexibility of the electronic device in managing application icons and improves the human-computer interaction capability.

[0031] The present application embodiment provides an application icon management method. Figure 1 A flowchart of an application icon management method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the application icon management method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 to 204.

[0038] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when a user operates an application component in an atomic component desktop, the electronic device may record the user's operations and usage of the application component. For example, the electronic device may record the usage time and duration of each application component, so as to facilitate determining the application icon of the application component that needs to be managed after switching to the original desktop.

[0039] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, for each application component of the at least one application component mentioned above, at least two application icons in one application component may be application icons added to the same application component by the electronic device based on attribute information of the application program to which the application icon belongs; or, at least two application icons in one application component may be application icons added to the same application component by the user through input (such as drag input).

[0041] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, a user can input an application icon in any application component to trigger the electronic device to start the application indicated by the application icon in the application component, so that the user can input in the interface of the application to trigger the electronic device to perform an operation on the application corresponding to the user input.

[0042] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input may be a click input, a long press input, or a preset number of click inputs by the user on a blank area in the atomic component desktop to trigger the electronic device to switch desktops.

[0043] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the atomic component desktop further includes a second control, which is used to display the target desktop, and the first input may be an input of the user to the second control to trigger the electronic device to switch desktops.

[0044] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the display shape of the second control may be a shape preset by the electronic device (such as a sphere, circle or rectangle, etc.); or, the shape of the second control may be a user-defined shape. Specifically, it may be determined according to the actual use requirements of the user, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

[0045] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first input may be a click input of the user on the second control to trigger the electronic device to switch the desktop; or, the first input may be a long press input of the user on the second control to trigger the electronic device to switch the desktop; or, the first input may be a click input of the user on the second control for a preset number of times to trigger the electronic device to switch the desktop. Specifically, it can be determined according to the actual use needs of the user, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

[0046] For example, the electronic device is a mobile phone. Figure 2 As shown, the mobile phone displays an atomic component desktop 01, which includes a first application component 02 and a second control 03. At least two application icons (for example, APP1, APP7 and APP10) are displayed in the first application component 02; the user can input the second control 03 to trigger the electronic device to switch from the atomic component desktop 01 to the original desktop.

[0047] Step 202: The electronic device switches from the atomic component desktop to the target desktop in response to the first input.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the target desktop includes a first control, and the first control is used to manage application icons in the target desktop.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can cancel displaying the atomic component desktop and display the target desktop to achieve desktop switching.

[0050] It should be noted that the above-mentioned target desktop is the traditional desktop / original desktop of the electronic device.

[0051] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the display shape of the first control may be a shape preset by the electronic device (such as a sphere, circle or rectangle, etc.); or, the shape of the first control may be a user-defined shape. Specifically, it may be determined according to the actual use requirements of the user, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it.

[0052] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display the first control in a suspended form, or may display the first control in a blank area of ​​the electronic device.

[0053] For example, in combination Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, after the user makes a first input to the second control, the mobile phone can switch from the atomic component desktop 01 to the target desktop 04, and display the first control 05 and multiple application icons (for example, APP1 to APP16) in the target desktop 04. The user can input the first control 05 to enable the electronic device to manage the application icons in the target desktop 04.

[0054] Step 203: The electronic device receives a second input from the user to the first control.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the second input is used to trigger the electronic device to manage the application icons in the target desktop.

[0056] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the second input may be a long press input or a click input (such as a double-click input or a preset number of single-click input) of the user on the first control. The specific input may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0057] Step 204: The electronic device manages the application icon corresponding to the at least one application component in the target desktop in response to the second input.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can update the position of the application icon corresponding to at least one application component in the target desktop to achieve management of the application icon.

[0059] It should be noted that the application icon corresponding to at least one application component in the target desktop can be understood as: icons of multiple target application programs in the target desktop, and the multiple target application programs are the applications indicated by the application icon in at least one application component.

[0060] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 204 can be specifically implemented by the following step 204a.

[0061] Step 204a: The electronic device manages the application icon corresponding to the first application component in the target desktop in response to the second input.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first application component is any one of the following: an application component used by the user within a preset time period in at least one application component, and an application component selected by the user from at least one application component.

[0063] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the application components used by the user within the preset time period may include at least one of the following: the application component most frequently used by the user within the preset time period, the application component used by the user for the longest time within the preset time period, and the application component most recently used by the user within the preset time period. The specific application can be determined according to the user's usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device switches from the atomic component desktop to the target desktop, since the function of aggregating applications does not exist in the target desktop, the electronic device can record the user's use of the application component when the user uses the atomic component desktop, and after the user triggers the switch to the target desktop, display a control in the target desktop, and map the application icon corresponding to the aggregated application in the application component that the user has recently used in the control, so that when switching to the target desktop, the user can still continue the operation in the atomic component desktop.

[0065] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the application component selected by the user from the at least one application component may be an application component selected by the user from the at least one application component through a first input.

[0066] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first input may be an input in which a user drags a first application component in at least one application component to a second control, so as to trigger the electronic device to switch from the atomic component desktop to the target desktop, and determine at least two application icons in the first application component as application icons to be managed in the target desktop.

[0067] For example, in combination Figure 2 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the mobile phone displays an atomic component desktop 01, which also includes a second application component 09. Multiple application icons (APP2, APP6 and APP8) are displayed in the second application component 09. The user can drag the second application component 09 to the first control 05 so that the electronic device can display the second application component on the target desktop.

[0068] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the application component selected by the user from at least one application component may be: after the electronic device displays an application icon corresponding to a certain application component (for example, an application component used by the user within a preset time period, or an application component selected by the user through the first input) according to the second input, the user updates the application component through input (i.e., the fourth input described in the following embodiment).

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, after switching to the target desktop, the electronic device can manage the application icons in the target desktop corresponding to the first application component in the atomic component desktop, that is, manage the application icons corresponding to the application components used by the user in the atomic component desktop, or the application icons corresponding to the application components selected by the user in the atomic component desktop, thereby improving the flexibility of the electronic device in managing application icons.

[0070] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, before "managing the application icon corresponding to the first application component in the target desktop" in the above step 204a, the application icon management method provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes the following steps 301 and 302, and the above step 204a can be specifically implemented by the following step 204b.

[0071] Step 301: In response to a second input, the electronic device displays a target window on a target desktop, and displays a third control and at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component in the target window.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, after the user makes a second input to the first control, the electronic device can display the application icon and the third control corresponding to the first application component to the user in the form of a target window on the target desktop, so that the user can input the third control to enable the electronic device to manage the application icon corresponding to the first application component.

[0073] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display the target window in a blank area of ​​the target desktop; or, the electronic device may display the target window in a suspended form.

[0074] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device displays the target window, the user can drag the target window to trigger the electronic device to move the display position of the target window according to the user's input.

[0075] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned third control may include a first sub-control and a second sub-control, the first sub-control being a desktop organization control for organizing application icons on the desktop, and the second sub-control being a folder generation control for placing application icons on the desktop in a folder for organization.

[0076] For example, in combination Figure 3 ,like Figure 5As shown, after the user inputs the first control 05, the mobile phone can display a target window 06 in the target desktop 04, and the target window 06 includes at least two application icons (such as APP1, APP7 and APP10) corresponding to the first application component and a third control (such as an organize desktop control 07 and a generate folder control 08). The user can input the organize desktop control 07 or the generate folder control 08 to enable the mobile phone to manage APP1, APP7 and APP10 in the target desktop 04.

[0077] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the user can also input (such as click input) any application icon in the target window to trigger the electronic device to quickly open the application indicated by the any application icon in the target desktop.

[0078] Step 302: The electronic device receives a third input from the user to a third control.

[0079] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the third input may be a click input, a long press input, or a preset number of click inputs of the third control by the user. Specifically, it may be determined based on actual usage, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0080] Step 204b: In response to the third input, the electronic device manages at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component using an icon management method corresponding to the third control.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the icon management method corresponding to the third control may be any one of the following: a method of updating the position of the application icon, and a method of adding the application icon to a folder.

[0082] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may adopt a method of updating the position of application icons to move at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component to a target area (e.g., an area corresponding to adjacent icon positions) for display; or, the electronic device may adopt a method of adding application icons to a folder to move at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component to a folder for display, where the folder is a newly created folder or a folder that already exists in the target desktop.

[0083] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the third control is a first sub-control, the electronic device may adopt an icon management method corresponding to the first sub-control (i.e., a method of updating the location of application icons) to manage at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component; or, when the third control is a second sub-control, the electronic device may adopt an icon management method corresponding to the second sub-control (i.e., a method of adding application icons to folders) to manage at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display a third control and at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component through a target window, so that a user can directly input the third control to trigger the electronic device to quickly manage the application icon corresponding to the first application component, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the electronic device in managing application icons and improving human-computer interaction capabilities.

[0085] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 204b can be specifically implemented by the following step 204c or step 204d.

[0086] Step 204c: In response to the third input, the electronic device moves at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component to adjacent icon positions for display.

[0087] It should be noted that the at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component are located on different pages or the same page in the target desktop.

[0088] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can keep the display position of the first application icon in the target desktop unchanged, and move at least one second application icon in the target desktop to the area where the first application icon is located, so that every two application icons among these application icons (i.e., the first application icon and at least one second application icon) are displayed adjacent to each other, and the first application icon is an application icon in the target desktop corresponding to any application icon in the first application component, and the at least one second application icon is an icon of the at least two application icons in the first application component other than the first application icon.

[0089] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may move all application icons of at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component to the same area, so that every two application icons among the moved application icons are displayed adjacent to each other.

[0090] It should be noted that adjacent icon positions can be understood as left-right adjacent icon positions, or top-bottom adjacent icon positions, which can be determined based on actual user needs and are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0091] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device moves at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component to adjacent icon positions for display, it may also move other application icons in the target desktop to fill the vacant icon positions generated after the movement.

[0092] For example, in combination Figure 5 ,like Figure 6As shown, after the user inputs the organize desktop control 07 in the target desktop 04, the mobile phone can move APP1, APP7 and APP10 to adjacent icon positions for display.

[0093] Step 204d: In response to the third input, the electronic device moves at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component to the target folder for display.

[0094] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may move the at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component to an existing folder in the target desktop based on the attribute information of the applications indicated by the at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component; or, the electronic device may create a new folder in the target desktop and add the at least two application icons to the folder.

[0095] For example, in combination Figure 5 ,like Figure 7 As shown, after the user inputs the second sub-control 08 in the target desktop 04, the mobile phone can create a new folder and add APP1, APP7 and APP10 to the newly created folder for display.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can move multiple application icons in the first application component to adjacent icon positions for display, or move multiple application icons to a target folder for display, through user input to a third control. Therefore, the user can place any number of application icons in the traditional desktop in adjacent positions or in the same folder as needed, without the user having to search one by one for at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component on the target desktop. In this way, the efficiency and flexibility of the electronic device in managing application icons are improved, and the human-computer interaction performance is improved.

[0097] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first application component is an application component selected by the user from at least one application component. The step 301 can be implemented through the following steps 301a to 301c.

[0098] Step 301a: In response to the second input, the electronic device displays a target window on the target desktop, and displays a third control and at least two application icons corresponding to the second application component in the target window.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the second application component is any application component other than the first application component in the at least one application component.

[0100] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the second application component may be an application component used by the user within a preset time period, or an application component selected by the user through the first input.

[0101] Step 301b: The electronic device receives a fourth input from the user to the target window.

[0102] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the fourth input may be a sliding input (e.g., an upward sliding input or a downward sliding input) by the user in the target window to trigger the electronic device to display application icons corresponding to other application components; or the fourth input may be a click input by the user on the target window to trigger the electronic device to display application icons corresponding to other application components; or the fourth input may be a long press input by the user on the target window to trigger the electronic device to display application icons corresponding to other application components; or the fourth input may be a click input by the user on the target window for a preset number of times to trigger the electronic device to display application icons corresponding to other application components. Specifically, it can be determined according to the actual needs of the user, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

[0103] For example, in combination Figure 4 ,like Figure 8 As shown, after the user drags the second application component to the first control 05 , the mobile phone displays application icons APP2 , APP6 and APP8 corresponding to the second application component 09 in the display target window 06 , so that the user can swipe up to input on the target window 06 .

[0104] Step 301c: In response to the fourth input, the electronic device updates at least two application icons corresponding to the second application component in the target window to at least two application icons corresponding to the first application component.

[0105] For example, in combination Figure 8 ,like Fig. 9 As shown, after the user swipes up in the target window, the mobile phone updates the application icons APP2, APP6 and APP8 in the target window 06 to the application icons APP1, APP7 and APP10 corresponding to the first application component.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can drag any application component in the atomic desktop to the second control, so that the electronic device can temporarily place the application icon corresponding to any application component (such as the second application component) in the second control, and then after the electronic device switches to the target desktop display, the user can input the first control in the target desktop, so that the electronic device can display the target window in the target desktop, and display at least one application component corresponding to the application icon in the target window, and then the user can slide input in the target window to trigger the electronic device to display the application icon corresponding to the second application component in the target window; or after the electronic device switches to the target desktop display, the user can input the first control in the target desktop, so that the electronic device can display the target window in the target desktop, and display the application icon corresponding to the second application component in the target window. Therefore, the user does not need to switch repeatedly in the desktop to search for the required application icon, and then drag it, and can directly view the application icons corresponding to multiple application components in the target window, so that the user's time is saved, the convenience and flexibility of the electronic device in managing application icons are improved, and the human-computer interaction performance is improved.

[0107] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, before "managing the application icon corresponding to at least one application component in the target desktop" in the above step 204, the application icon management method provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes the following steps 401 and 402.

[0108] Step 401: When there is no application icon corresponding to at least one application component in the target desktop, the electronic device obtains installation package information of N application programs.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned N applications are applications indicated by application icons corresponding to at least one application component, and N is an integer greater than 1.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the user's second input, the electronic device can search the target desktop for whether there is an application icon corresponding to at least one application component, and if there is no application icon corresponding to at least one application component in the target desktop, the electronic device can obtain installation package information of N applications from the electronic device system or application server to download and install the applications.

[0111] For example, in combination Figure 2 ,like Fig.10As shown, the mobile phone displays a target desktop 04, which includes multiple application icons (for example, APP1 to APP16) and a target window 06. The target window 06 displays an application icon corresponding to any application component (for example, APP20, APP21). There is no application icon corresponding to any application component in the target desktop of the mobile phone. Therefore, the mobile phone can obtain the installation package of the application corresponding to the application icon (for example, APP20, APP21) of any application component.

[0112] Step 402: The electronic device installs N applications according to the installation package information of the N applications, and displays application icons of the N applications on the target desktop.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can install the N applications according to the installation package information of the N applications in the operating system, and after the installation is completed, display the application icons corresponding to the N applications on the target desktop.

[0114] For example, in combination Fig.10 ,like Fig.11 As shown, after the mobile phone obtains the installation package information of the application indicated by the application icon (e.g., APP20, APP21) corresponding to any application component, it installs the application indicated by the application icon (e.g., APP20, APP21) corresponding to any application component, and displays the application icon (e.g., APP20, APP21) corresponding to any application component in the target desktop 04, so that the user can operate the application icon corresponding to any application component in the target desktop.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can obtain the installation package information of N applications corresponding to the N icons and install them when there is no application icon corresponding to at least one application component in the target desktop, so that the electronic device can display the application icons of the N applications in the target desktop. Therefore, when the application indicated by the application icon in the atomic desktop does not exist in the target desktop, the user does not need to search and input the names of the N applications in the application market one by one and click to download to complete the installation of the N applications at one time, so that the electronic device can display the application icons corresponding to the N applications in the target desktop. In this way, the flexibility and convenience of the electronic device in managing application icons are improved, and the human-computer interaction performance is improved.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device receives a first input from a user to the atomic component desktop when displaying the atomic component desktop, wherein the atomic component desktop includes at least one application component, and each application component includes at least two application icons; in response to the first input, the target desktop is switched from the atomic component desktop to the target desktop, wherein the target desktop includes a first control, and the first control is used to manage the application icons in the target desktop; the second input from the user to the first control is received; in response to the second input, the application icons corresponding to at least one application component in the target desktop are managed. In this solution, the user can input in the atomic component desktop so that the electronic device displays the target desktop, so that the user can input the first control in the target desktop to trigger the electronic device to manage the application icons in the target desktop. Without the need for the user to switch back and forth between multiple pages first, then find multiple application icons of the same type, and drag multiple application icons. Therefore, the user's time is saved, and the efficiency and flexibility of the electronic device in managing application icons are improved, and the human-computer interaction capability is improved.
