[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of steps of a method for automatically placing application icons in one embodiment of the present application, the method comprising:

[0041] S1. When an application download command is detected, category information of the application in a download store is read as a first category of the application.

[0042] Specifically, in step S1, the download store is a download platform such as a webpage or app that provides application download and installation packages. The first category is a description of the basic purpose of the application within the download store. For example, WeChat's first category is chat and social networking, and Tencent Video's first category is entertainment and leisure. By reading the first category of the application, the application's purpose can be automatically determined and application icons with different purposes can be placed in different areas.

[0043] S2. According to the first category, search for a first application icon placement area corresponding to the first category.

[0044] Specifically, for step S2, after determining the purpose of the application, applications with the same purpose are saved in the same location area, so that the user can quickly find the placement area where the target application is located according to usage needs among multiple pre-set different placement areas.

[0045] S3. Download the application and load the application icon into the first application icon placement area.

[0046] Specifically, in step S3, after confirming the application placement position, the application is started to be downloaded, the application icon is loaded into the first application icon placement area, and the download progress is displayed.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, after the step S2 of searching for the first application icon placement area corresponding to the first category according to the first category, the following steps are included:

[0048] S201: All application icon placement areas are processed as thumbnails and presented on the same interface, and the first application icon placement area is highlighted in a specified manner.

[0049] Specifically, for step S201, after determining the first application icon placement area corresponding to the first category, all application icon placement areas are thumbnailed and presented in the same interface to display all application icon placement areas in the terminal. The first application icon placement area where a new application icon is loaded is distinguished from other application icon placement areas, so the first application icon placement area where a new application icon is loaded is highlighted to facilitate users in finding the location where the application icon to be downloaded is placed. The highlighting processing method can be highlighting, gold bordering, etc., and the specific highlighting processing method can be set by the user.

[0050] Reference Figure 2In one embodiment, after the step S3 of downloading the application and loading the application icon in the first application icon placement area, the following steps are included:

[0051] S301: Determine whether there is an application icon placement sub-area in the first application icon placement area.

[0052] Specifically, in step S301, multiple applications belonging to the same first category may have different application descriptions. Therefore, sub-areas are set within the first application icon placement area to further divide the application functions, and the application icons are placed in different sub-areas. Grouping applications with the same application description into one area can achieve more detailed application icon placement and organization, making it easier for users to quickly find target applications based on their needs.

[0053] S302: If the application exists, read the application description of the application in the download store.

[0054] Specifically, for step S302, the download store is a download platform such as a web page or application that provides an application download installation package. The application description of the application is a description of the specific use of the application in the download store. It is within the first category of content and provides a more specific description of the application function. For example, Game for Peace and Tencent Video both belong to the first category of entertainment and leisure, but the application description of Game for Peace is for games, while the application description of Tencent Video is for video playback. Games and video playback have different application descriptions, so the icons of Game for Peace and Tencent Video should be placed in different sub-areas. The above application description will be used to determine which first application icon sub-area the application belongs to.

[0055] S303: Search the application icon placement sub-area to see whether there is a first application icon placement sub-area corresponding to the application description.

[0056] Specifically, in step S303, the sub-areas containing application descriptions are searched within the application icon placement sub-areas, and based on the application descriptions, it is determined to which application icon placement sub-area the application belongs, so as to determine the placement position of the application icon.

[0057] S304: Move the application icon to the first application icon placement sub-area.

[0058] Specifically, for step S304, when it is detected that the application description has a corresponding first application icon placement sub-area, the icon of the application is moved to the first application icon placement sub-area. If the application description does not have a corresponding first application icon placement sub-area, the application is not moved. For example, the first category of Tencent Video is entertainment and leisure, and the application description is video playback. After determining that there is a sub-area for video playback in the first application icon placement area for entertainment and leisure, the icon of Tencent Video is moved to the sub-area for video playback in the first application icon placement area. This ensures that the application icon is placed in the correct first application icon placement area and is not mixed with applications in other application descriptions, ensuring the effect of application classification and organization, and allowing users to find the target application more quickly in the application icon sub-area of ​​the same application description.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, after the step S3 of downloading the application and loading the application icon in the first application icon placement area, the following steps are included:

[0060] S305: Determine, based on the first classification, whether the application is an application that needs to be hidden.

[0061] Specifically, in step S305, the user may not need to use a specified application within a specified time period, or may not wish to use the specified application within a specified time period. Therefore, the user may hide the application. By hiding the application, the application icon layout can be automatically reorganized based on the user's real-time usage needs. This can temporarily remove unnecessary applications from the application icon layout interface, or help the user maintain ideal application usage habits.

[0062] S306: Execute the specified hiding method.

[0063] Specifically, for step S306, the hiding method is the hiding time set by the user for the application. This method can achieve reasonable and diversified precise control of the applications that need to be hidden.

[0064] In one embodiment, the step S306 of executing the specified hiding method includes:

[0065] S3061. Obtain a hidden time period set by the user for the application corresponding to the first category.

[0066] S3062: When the current time is within the hidden time period, hide the icon of the application.

[0067] Specifically, for steps S3061 and S3602, when it is determined that the specified application needs to be hidden, the hiding time period set by the user for the application corresponding to the first category in the system is obtained, such as 23:00:00-8:00:00 every day, and the application icon is hidden during the above hiding time period.

[0068] In one embodiment, the step S306 of executing the specified hiding method includes:

[0069] S3063: Obtain the hiding time length set by the user for the application corresponding to the first category.

[0070] S3064: Obtain the current time, and calculate the hiding end time based on the hiding time length starting from the current time.

[0071] S3065: Hide the application icon within the calculated hiding time period.

[0072] Specifically, for steps S3063, S3604 and S3605, the hiding time length set by the user for the application corresponding to the first category in the system is obtained, for example, 30 minutes, then the current time is obtained, for example, May 17, 2022 11:00:00, and the end time is calculated to be May 17, 2022 11:30:00, and the hiding time period is May 17, 2022 11:00:00-May 17, 2022 11:30:00, and the icon of the application is hidden during the above time period.

[0073] In one embodiment, after the step S306 of executing the specified hiding method, the following steps are included:

[0074] S3066: When the application icon is in a hidden state, a message that the first application icon placement area is selected is detected, and all application icons in the first application icon placement area that are currently in a hidden state are unhidden.

[0075] Specifically, in step S3606, if the user needs to unhide the application icon when it is in a hidden state, they can select the application area to be unhidden by long pressing or double-clicking the first application icon placement area. After the system receives the message that the designated first application icon placement area has been selected, it will unhide all application icons in the first application icon placement area that are currently hidden. By adding the above-mentioned unhiding method, the solution for hiding applications is more user-friendly, avoiding the inconvenience caused by the application being hidden, and improving the user experience.

[0076] In a specific embodiment, taking the download of Tencent Video on a mobile phone as an example, when a download command of Tencent Video is detected, the classification information of Tencent Video in the download store is read, which is entertainment and leisure, so the first classification of Tencent Video is entertainment and leisure. Find the first application icon placement area corresponding to entertainment and leisure. After determining the first application placement area of ​​Tencent Video, all first application icon placement areas are thumbnailed, and then the first application icon placement area where the Tencent Video icon is located is processed with a gold border. Download Tencent Video, and load the Tencent Video icon into the corresponding first application icon placement area. Determine whether there is an application icon placement sub-area in the first application icon placement area. If so, read the application description of the application in the download store for video playback. Determine whether there is an application icon placement sub-area for video playback in the first application icon placement area; if so, move the Tencent Video icon to the video playback sub-area of ​​the corresponding first application icon placement area. Otherwise, do not move the Tencent Video icon. Since Tencent Video's first category is entertainment and leisure, it is an application type that needs to be hidden. The system sets the hiding time for entertainment and leisure applications, assuming it is 23:00:00-8:00:00 every day, and hides the Tencent Video icon during the above hiding time. If the hiding time is set to 30 minutes, the current time is obtained, for example, May 17, 2022, 11:00:00. The calculated end time is May 17, 2022, 11:30:00, and the hiding time period is May 17, 2022, 11:00:00-May 17, 2022, 11:30:00. The Tencent Video icon is hidden during the above time period. If the Tencent Video icon is hidden and you need to unhide it, you can long press the entertainment and leisure application placement area to which Tencent Video belongs. All application icons hidden in the entertainment and leisure application placement area at the current moment, including the Tencent Video icon, will be unhidden.

[0080] The first placement module 300 is configured to download the application and load the application icon into the first application icon placement area.

[0081] Specifically, for the first reading module 100, the download store is a download platform such as a website or application that provides download and installation packages for applications. The first category is a description of the basic purpose of the application within the download store. For example, the first category of WeChat is chat and social networking, and the first category of Tencent Video is entertainment and leisure. By reading the first category of the application, the application's purpose can be automatically determined and application icons with different purposes can be placed in different areas.

[0082] Specifically, for the first search module 200, after determining the purpose of the application, applications with the same purpose are saved in the same location area, so that the user can quickly find the placement area where the target application is located according to usage needs in multiple pre-set different placement areas.

[0083] Specifically, for the first placement module 300, after confirming the application placement position, it starts downloading the application, loads the application icon into the first application icon placement area, and displays the download progress.

[0084] In one embodiment, the apparatus for automatically placing application icons further includes:

[0085] The thumbnail display module is used to process all application icon placement areas into thumbnails and present them on the same interface, and to highlight the first application icon placement area in a specified manner.

[0086] Specifically, for the thumbnail module, after determining the first application icon placement area corresponding to the first category, all application icon placement areas are thumbnailed and presented in the same interface to display all application icon placement areas in the terminal. The first application icon placement area where the new application icon is loaded is distinguished from other application icon placement areas, so the first application icon placement area where the new application icon is loaded is highlighted to facilitate users to find the location where the application icon to be downloaded is placed. The highlighting processing method can be highlighting, gold bordering, etc., and the specific highlighting processing method can be set by the user.
