[0033] 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.

[0034] 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.

[0035] The method for managing application icons provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This embodiment provides a method for managing application icons, such as Figure 1 As shown, steps S101-S103 are included.

[0038] S101. Receive a first sliding instruction for a first application icon, where the first application icon is an icon of a first application program.

[0039] An application is a computer program that is used to complete one or more specific tasks. It runs in user mode, can interact with users, and has a visual user interface. Correspondingly, an application icon is an icon displayed by the application on a display device (such as a computer monitor or a mobile phone display).

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the first application icon is an icon of the first application program, that is, the first application icon corresponds to the first application program.

[0041] The first sliding instruction is input by the user. Generally, the first sliding instruction starts sliding of the first application icon according to a triggering start condition and ends at the sliding stop position, ie, the end position.

[0042] Among them, there are two ways to trigger the starting condition in the embodiment of the present application, namely:

[0043] The first trigger method: long press the application icon to trigger the mobile state.

[0044] The second triggering method: tap the application icon to move immediately, and the moving speed is greater than or equal to the triggering speed. It should be noted here that the embodiment of the present application does not impose specific restrictions on the triggering speed, and the implementer can set it according to actual needs or previous experience, for example: 1m / s. Through any of the triggering starting conditions in the above two triggering methods, the application icon that is "long pressed" or "tapped" is determined to be the first application icon.

[0045] Among them, after determining the first application icon, sliding is also performed by the user. In order to improve the user experience, the embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on the specific form and parameters of "sliding", such as: the shape of the sliding trajectory.

[0046] The position where the above-mentioned "sliding" stops is determined as the end position.

[0047] S102: Determine a target application icon according to parameters of the first sliding instruction and a type of application program, wherein the target application icon is an icon of a target application program.

[0048] The parameters of the first sliding instruction, in addition to the above-mentioned initial position and end position, are mainly sliding parameters, which include: sliding track, sliding pause position, sliding direction, etc.

[0049] Application types can be classified according to different classification standards, for example, according to the purpose, they can be classified into: communication applications, office applications, shopping applications and entertainment applications, etc.; according to the presentation method, they can be classified into: text applications, graphic applications, voice applications, video applications, etc. Implementers can classify according to actual needs, industry standards, self-defined standards, etc., and can also obtain classification results that have been classified according to a certain classification standard through various scientific methods.

[0050] The target application, the target application icon, and the relationship between the two may correspond to the first application, the first application icon, and the relationship between the first application and the first application icon, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] S103: Merge the first application icon and the target application icon into the same folder.

[0052] The present application aims to realize the merging of multiple applications. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of first application icons is 1, and the number of target application icons can be one or more. Specifically, the number of target applications is determined based on the parameters of the first sliding instruction and the type of application. For example, the "track" parameter of the first sliding instruction and the "office" application type are selected, where the type of application is determined by the first application type. At this time, based on the sliding track of the first sliding instruction, all application icons whose distance to the track is less than or equal to 1 cm and whose application type is "office application" are determined as target application icons. Figure 2 In the figure, the first application icon is application icon 1, and there are 5 application icons whose distance to the trajectory is less than or equal to 1 cm: application icon 2, application icon 6, application icon 7, and application icon 8. There are 2 application icons whose application type is "office application": application icon 2 and application icon 7. Then, application icon 2 and application icon 7 are determined to be target applications, that is, the number of target applications is 2.

[0053] Merging the first application icon and the target application icon into the same folder generates a folder, and the application icons contained and displayed in the folder are the first application icon and all the target application icons, for example: Figure 3 As shown, a folder is generated, which contains and displays application icon 1, application icon 2 and application icon 7, wherein application icon 1 is a first application icon, and application icon 2 and application icon 7 are target application icons.

[0054] The method for managing application icons provided in the embodiment of the present application first receives a first sliding instruction for a first application icon; secondly determines a target application icon according to the parameters of the first sliding instruction and the type of application; and finally merges the first application icon and the target application icon into the same folder. The first sliding instruction is generated according to a sliding operation of the user, and multiple target application icons can be determined according to the first sliding instruction, so that the user only needs one sliding operation to realize the one-time merging management of multiple application icons, and the operation steps are simple, which saves time and improves the user experience.

[0055] Step S104 may be further included after the above step S103.

[0056] S104: Display the folder at the target location.

[0057] The target position is the initial position of the first application icon or the initial position of the last target application icon merged into the folder. That is to say, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific display position of the folder, which can be the initial position corresponding to the first application icon or the initial position corresponding to the last target application icon merged into the folder.

[0058] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application displays the folders generated after the merger in an intuitive and orderly manner, which is convenient for the user to search and use later. While ensuring the neatness of the display interface, the user experience is further improved.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] This embodiment provides a method for managing application icons. When the parameters of the first sliding instruction include at least a trajectory, the above step S102 includes: determining an application icon whose distance from the trajectory is less than or equal to a first preset distance and whose application type has a similarity with the first application that exceeds a preset threshold as a target application icon.

[0061] When an icon management user needs to organize application icons on a display terminal, the starting condition is triggered and the first sliding instruction is input. Figure 4 As shown, user A triggers the first sliding instruction starting condition by long pressing application icon A, and slides, and stops sliding at application icon L.

[0062] The embodiment of the present application receives the first sliding instruction for the first application icon in real time, and receives the first sliding instruction input by user A in real time, that is, receives the first sliding instruction with the initial position at application icon A and the end position at application icon L in real time.

[0063] The first preset distance is used to define application icons to be managed and application icons that do not need to be managed, that is, application icons whose distance from the track is less than or equal to the first preset distance are application icons to be managed; application icons whose distance from the track is greater than the first preset distance are application icons that do not need to be managed. Its essence is a distance value or length.

[0064] The preset threshold is used to define whether the application corresponding to each application icon included in the first sliding instruction is similar to the first application type, and further define the application icons to be managed and the application icons that do not need to be managed. That is, when the similarity between the application corresponding to a certain application icon included in the first sliding instruction and the type of the first application is less than the preset threshold, the application is not similar to the first application type, and further, the application icon corresponding to the application is an application icon that does not need to be managed; when the similarity between the application corresponding to another application icon included in the first sliding instruction and the type of the first application is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the application is similar to the first application type, and further, the application icon corresponding to the application is an application icon to be managed. The preset threshold is essentially a numerical value, and the generally preferred form is a percentage.

[0065] It should be noted here that the embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific restrictions on the specific numerical values ​​of the first preset distance and the preset threshold. The implementer can set them according to actual needs or previous experience. The following embodiment only illustrates one possibility, see steps S3021-S3024 for details.

[0066] S3021. Obtain trajectory parameters of the first sliding instruction.

[0067] The parameters of the first sliding instruction include: initial position, end position, sliding trajectory, sliding pause position, sliding direction, etc. This embodiment selects the sliding trajectory parameters of the first sliding instruction for illustration. As shown in FIG4 , the trajectory of the first sliding instruction is obtained. It should be noted here that: this embodiment does not limit the specific method of obtaining the trajectory, and the implementer can select it according to the current device, its own conditions, etc. For example: If the current device is a touch screen mobile phone, the trajectory of the first sliding instruction input by the user can be obtained through the sensing device of the mobile phone screen.

[0068] S3022: Determine the coordinates of the center point of each application icon and calculate the distance between each application icon and the track.

[0069] This embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on the specific manner and method of determining the coordinates of the center point of each application icon and calculating the distance between each application icon and the track, and the implementer can select it according to the current terminal configuration, actual needs, etc. This embodiment is briefly described below by taking one of the methods of determining the coordinates of the center point of each application icon and calculating the distance between each application icon and the track as an example:

[0070] According to the preset coordinate system, the specific coordinates of the center point of each application icon in the preset coordinate system are determined and the distance between each application icon and the track is calculated.

[0071] The preset coordinate system is a coordinate system with the center point of the first application icon as the origin, a horizontal line passing through the center point of the first application icon as the horizontal axis, and a vertical line passing through the center point of the first application icon as the vertical axis. It is worth noting here that this embodiment does not limit the specific parameters of the preset coordinate system, and the implementer can adjust it according to their own needs. The preset coordinate system in this embodiment is established only to reduce the calculation cost.

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific coordinates of the center points of each application icon in the preset coordinate system are as follows:

[0073] Application icon A (0, 0), application icon B (1, 0), application icon C (2, 0), application icon D (3, 0), application icon E (0, -1), application icon F (1, -1), application icon G (2, -1), application icon H (3, -1), application icon I (0, -2), application icon J (1, -2), application icon K (2, -2), application icon L (3, -2).

[0074] Based on the specific coordinates of the center points of the above application icons, the distance between each application icon and the track can be easily calculated using existing geometric and mathematical methods. Generally, the distance from a point to a line segment is the shortest vertical distance from the point to the line segment. For example, some calculation results are as follows:

[0075] The distance from the application icon A(0,0) to the track is 0cm.

[0076] The distance from the application icon B (1, 0) to the track is 0.22 cm.

[0077] Distance from application icon C(2,0) to track: 0.54cm.

[0078] Distance from application icon D(3,0) to track: 0.84cm.

[0079] Distance from application icon E(0, -1) to track: 0.35 cm.

[0080] S3023: Obtain the program type of each application and calculate the type similarity between each application and the first application.

[0081] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific method of obtaining each application type, and the implementer can determine it according to the actual situation or needs. This embodiment is briefly explained here by taking the example of obtaining each application type by reading the storage information. Specifically, each application type is obtained by reading the information of each application type stored on the storage device in the current terminal. For example: the type of each application icon is obtained by reading the application type label stored on the storage chip in the mobile phone. The types of some application icons are shown in Table 1:

[0082] app Type 1 Tags Second type of label The third type of label A communication Text communication Voice communication B communication Text communication Video Communications C Office Text Office Graphic Office D entertainment Short Video Shopping E Office Text Office Meeting

[0083] Table 1 Application Type Table

[0084] According to the program types of the above-mentioned applications and the weights of the level labels, the type similarity between each application and the first application (application A) is calculated, where the calculation weight of the first type label is 0.7, the calculation weight of the second type label is 0.2, and the calculation weight of the third type label is 0.1. Taking application B as an example, calculate its type similarity with application A:

[0085] Application B type similarity = 1*0.7+1*0.2+0.5*0.1=0.95=95%

[0086] Similarly, the type similarity of each application can be calculated in sequence, as shown in Table 2:

[0087] app Type 1 Tags Second type of label The third type of label Type similarity (%) A communication Text communication Voice communication 100 B communication Text communication Video Communications 95 C Office Text Office Graphic Office 4 D entertainment Short Video Shopping 0 E Office Text Office Meeting 9

[0088] Table 2. Application type similarity table

[0089] S3024. Determine a target application icon according to the first preset distance and a preset threshold.

[0090] Exemplarily, the first preset distance is set to 1 cm and the preset threshold is set to 50%. Based on this, the application icons whose distance from the trajectory is less than or equal to the first preset distance (1 cm) are first determined as application icons to be managed. According to the above-calculated distances between each application icon and the trajectory, application icon F, application icon G, and application icon L are determined as candidate management application icons. Then, the candidate application icons corresponding to the candidate management application icons whose type similarity with the first application (application A) exceeds the preset threshold (50%) are determined as target application icons. According to the calculated similarities of each application, application icon F and application icon L are target application icons.

[0091] like Figure 5As shown, the first application icon (application icon A) and the target application icons (application icon F and application icon L) are merged into the same folder, and the folder is displayed at the initial position corresponding to the first application icon.

[0092] The method for managing application icons provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the target application icon according to the parameter of the first sliding instruction and the type of application when the parameter of the first sliding instruction is a track. The embodiment of the present application determines the application icon to be merged according to the distance between the application icon and the track and the type of application. The user can select multiple application icons to be merged through a continuous sliding operation, so that the user can easily select application icons similar to the first application type for merging, which is simple to operate and convenient for users.

[0093] Example 3

[0094] This embodiment provides a method for managing application icons, in which, when the parameters of the first sliding instruction include at least a pause position, the above step S102 includes: determining an application icon whose distance from the pause position is less than or equal to a second preset distance and whose application type has a similarity with the first application exceeding a preset threshold as a target application icon. The pause position is a position where the pause time exceeds a first preset duration during the sliding process.

[0095] The second preset distance is similar to the first preset distance, and the implementer may refer to other embodiments accordingly, which will not be described here. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not impose specific restrictions on the specific numerical values ​​of the second preset distance and the preset threshold, and the implementer may set them according to actual needs or previous experience. The following embodiment only illustrates one of the possibilities, and specifically refers to steps S4021-S4024.

[0096] S4021. Obtain a pause position parameter of the first sliding instruction.

[0097] The parameters of the first sliding instruction include the initial position, the end position, the sliding track, the sliding pause position, the sliding direction, etc. The pause position is the position where the pause time exceeds the first preset time during the sliding process. For example, user B triggers the first sliding instruction starting condition by long pressing the application icon a, and slides, pauses at Q for 1 second; continues to slide; stops sliding at the application icon l. In this example, the first preset time is 1 second, and the application icon f is the pause position.

[0098] It should be noted here that: this embodiment does not limit the specific numerical value of the first preset time length, and the implementer can set it according to actual needs.

[0099] It is particularly important to note that this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific parameters (such as coordinates) of the pause position, that is, the pause position can be any point in the current coordinate system.

[0100] S4022: Determine the coordinates of the center point of each application icon and calculate the distance between each application icon and the pause position.

[0101] Among them, a coordinate system is preset with the center point of the first application icon as the origin, the horizontal line passing through the center point of the first application icon as the horizontal axis, and the vertical line passing through the center point of the first application icon as the vertical axis, so as to obtain the specific coordinates of the pause position Q and the center point of each application icon in the preset coordinate system, and calculate the distance between each application icon and the pause position.

[0102] like Figure 6 As shown, for example, the specific coordinates of the pause position Q in the preset coordinate system are determined as:

[0103] Stop position Q(1,-1).

[0104] The specific coordinates of the center point of each application icon in the preset coordinate system are determined as follows:

[0105] Application icon a(0,0), application icon b(1,0), application icon c(2,0), application icon d(3,0), application icon e(0,-1), application icon f(1,-1), application icon g(2, -1), application icon h(3,-1), application icon i(0,-2), application icon j(1,-2), application icon k(2,-2), application icon l(3,-2).

[0106] Based on the above pause position Q and the specific coordinates of the center point of each application icon, the distance between each application icon and the pause position Q can be easily calculated using existing geometric and mathematical methods. Generally, the point-to-point distance is the length of the line segment between the two points. Some calculation results are as follows:

[0107] The distance from the application icon a (0, 0) to the stop position Q is 1.44 cm.

[0108] The distance from the application icon b(1,0) to the stop position Q is 1.00 cm.

[0109] The distance from the application icon c(2,0) to the stop position Q is 1.44 cm.

[0110] The distance from the application icon d(3,0) to the stop position Q is: 2.23 cm.

[0111] The distance from the application icon e(0, -1) to the stop position Q is 1.00 cm.

[0112] S4023. Obtain the program type of each application and calculate the type similarity between each application and the first application.

[0113] For example, the type similarity between some applications and the first application is shown in Table 3:

[0114] app Type similarity (%) a 100 b 14 c 85 d 0 e 96

[0115] Table III Application type similarity table

[0116] S4024 determines the target application icon according to the second preset distance and the preset threshold.

[0117] Exemplarily, the second preset distance is set to 1 cm and the preset threshold is set to 65%. Based on this, the application icons whose distance from the pause position Q is less than or equal to the second preset distance (1 cm) are first determined as application icons to be managed. According to the above-calculated distances between each application icon and the pause position Q, application icon b, application icon e, application icon f, application icon g, and application icon j are determined as candidate management application icons; then, the candidate application icons corresponding to each candidate management application icon and whose type similarity with the first application (application a) exceeds the preset threshold (65%) are determined as target application icons. According to the similarities of each application calculated in Table 3 above, application icon e and application icon f are determined as target application icons.

[0118] like Figure 7 As shown, the first application icon (application icon a) and the target application icons (application icon e, application icon f) are merged into the same folder, and the folder is displayed at the initial position corresponding to the first application icon.

[0119] The method for managing application icons provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the target application icon according to the parameter of the first sliding instruction and the type of application when the parameter of the first sliding instruction is the pause position. By determining the target application icon according to the pause position, the embodiment can avoid using application icons that the user does not want to merge as target application icons, improve the accuracy of the target application icon, and facilitate user use.

[0120] Example 4

[0121] This embodiment provides a method for managing application icons. When the parameters of the first sliding instruction at least include a direction, the above step S102 includes: steps S5021-S5022.

[0122] S5021. Taking the initial position of the first application icon as a starting point, determine a first ray according to a direction.

[0123] In this embodiment, the first ray is a ray that takes the initial position as the starting point and passes through the end position.

[0124] like Figure 8 As shown, user C triggers the first sliding instruction starting condition by tapping and quickly moving the application icon A1, and slides, stops sliding at P1, and obtains the first ray.

[0125] S5022: Determine, as a target application icon, an application icon that is located on the first ray and whose application type has a similarity with the first application that exceeds a preset threshold.

[0126] Each application program located on the first ray is obtained, and a similarity between each application program and the first application program is calculated.

[0127] Generally, an application icon is a square pattern, especially an application icon corresponding to a mobile phone application, that is, an application icon occupies a certain area, rather than a point. In this embodiment, the application icon passed by the first ray is determined as a candidate management application icon. Fig. 9 As shown, the application programs located on the first ray are: application icon A1, application icon F1 and application icon K1.

[0128] The type similarity between some applications and the first application is obtained through calculation as shown in Table 4:

[0129] app Type similarity (%) <![CDATA[A1]]> 100 <![CDATA[B1]]> 81 <![CDATA[C1]]> 22 <![CDATA[D1]]> 36 <![CDATA[E1]]> 19 <![CDATA[F1]]> 86

[0130] Table 4. Application type similarity table

[0131] The target application icon is determined according to a preset threshold.

[0132] Specifically, an application icon whose application type has a similarity with the first application exceeding a preset threshold is determined as the target application icon.

[0133] Exemplarily, the preset threshold is set to 80%, then the application icon whose application type is more than 80% similar to the first application is determined as the target application icon. Based on this, among the above-mentioned candidate management application icons: application icon A1, application icon F1 and application icon K1, the application icons whose similarity to the first application is more than 80% are: application icon A1, application icon F1 and application icon K1, then application icon A1, application icon F1 and application icon K1 are determined as the target application icons.

[0134] like Fig. 9 As shown, the first application icon (application icon A1) and the target application icons (application icon A1, application icon F1 and application icon K1) are merged into the same folder, and the folder is displayed at the initial position corresponding to the first application icon.

[0135] It should be noted here that: this embodiment will not go into details about some implementation details, and implementers can refer to the corresponding contents of other embodiments.

[0136] The method for managing application icons provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the target application icon according to the parameter of the first sliding instruction and the type of application when the parameter of the first sliding instruction is a direction. In this embodiment, by determining the target application icon according to the direction, the user only needs to slide a short distance to determine the target application icon, and does not need to slide a long distance, which is convenient for the user.

[0137] Example 5

[0138] This embodiment provides a method for managing application icons. When the parameters of the first sliding instruction at least include the sliding end position, the above step S102 includes steps S6021-S6022.

[0139] S6021. Calculate the angle between the first vector line segment and the second vector line segment.

[0140] The first vector line segment is a vector line segment starting from the initial position of the first application icon and ending at the sliding end position. The second vector line segment is a vector line segment starting from the initial position of the first application icon and ending at the position of the candidate application icon, wherein the candidate application icon is an icon of a candidate application, and the type similarity between the candidate application and the first application exceeds a preset threshold. Therefore, before obtaining the second vector line segment, the candidate application icon should be determined by judging the type similarity between each application and the first application. The specific method will not be repeated here, and the implementer can refer to other embodiments accordingly.

[0141] The sliding end position parameter of the first sliding instruction is obtained, and the sliding end position coordinates of the first sliding instruction are obtained in a preset coordinate system, such as Fig.10 As shown, user D triggers the starting condition of the first sliding instruction by tapping and quickly moving the application icon a1, and slides and stops sliding at the application icon l1. The first sliding instruction obtained is: the initial position is the center point of the application icon a1, and the sliding end position is the center point of the application icon l1.

[0142] like Fig.10As shown, the candidate application icons judged and determined by the type similarity between each application and the first application are: application icon d1, application icon f1, application icon g1 and application icon i1. The center point of application icon a1 is connected with the center point of application icon l1 to obtain the first vector line segment, the center point of application icon a1 is connected with the center point of application icon d1 to obtain the second vector line segment Ld1, the center point of application icon a1 is connected with the center point of application icon f1 to obtain the second vector line segment Lf1, the center point of application icon a1 is connected with the center point of application icon g1 to obtain the second vector line segment Lg1, and the center point of application icon a1 is connected with the center point of application icon j1 ​​to obtain the second vector line segment Lj1.

[0143] Based on the first vector line segment and each second vector line segment obtained above, the angle between the first vector line segment and each second vector line segment can be obtained by using simple geometric and mathematical operations. For example, the following can be obtained by calculation:

[0144] The angle between the first vector line segment and the second vector line segment Ld1 is 45 degrees.

[0145] The angle between the first vector line segment and the second vector line segment Lf1 is 10 degrees.

[0146] The angle between the first vector line segment and the second vector line segment Lg1 is 10 degrees.

[0147] The angle between the first vector line segment and the second vector line segment Lj1 is 20 degrees.

[0148] S6022: Determine the candidate application icon corresponding to the second vector line segment having the smallest angle with the first vector line segment as the target application icon.

[0149] It should be noted here that: if there are multiple second vector line segments whose included angles with the first vector line segment are all minimum angles, calculate the length differences between the multiple second vector line segments and the first vector line segment; and determine the candidate application icon corresponding to the second vector line segment with the smallest length difference with the first vector line segment as the target application icon.

[0150] For example, referring to the above calculation results, it can be determined that the second vector line segment with the smallest angle with the first vector line segment is: the second vector line segment Lf1 and the second vector line segment Lg1, that is, there are two second vector line segments with the first vector line segment whose angles are the smallest angles. At this time, it is necessary to calculate the length difference between the second vector line segment Lf1 and the second vector line segment Lg1 and the first vector line segment respectively. Using a simple geometric calculation method, it is calculated that: the length difference between the second vector line segment Lf1 and the first vector line segment is 2cm, and the length difference between the second vector line segment Lg1 and the first vector line segment is 3.8cm. Based on determining the candidate application icon corresponding to the second vector line segment with the smallest length difference with the first vector line segment as the target application icon, the target application icon can be determined as the application icon f1.

[0151] like Fig.11 As shown, the first application icon (application icon a1) and the target application icon (application icon f1) are merged into the same folder, and the folder is displayed at the initial position corresponding to the first application icon.

[0152] It should be noted here that: this embodiment will not go into details about some implementation details, and implementers can refer to the corresponding contents of other embodiments.

[0153] It is particularly important to explain here that each application icon in each embodiment of the present application may not only be an application icon corresponding to a single application program, but may also be an application icon corresponding to a folder.

[0154] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for managing application icons. When the parameter of the first sliding instruction is the sliding end position, the target application icon is determined according to the parameter of the first sliding instruction and the type of application. The present embodiment determines the target application icon according to the sliding end position, and does not require the sliding track, so that the user can slide freely, which is convenient for the user.
