[0076] The application layer can include a series of application packages. Figure 2 As shown, the application package may include camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, short message and other applications.

[0077] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a resource manager, a notification manager, an activity manager, an input manager, and the like.

[0079] Among them, the window manager provides window management service (window manager service, WMS), WMS can be used for window management, window animation management, surface management and as a transfer station for the input system.

[0080] Content providers are used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. This data can include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

[0081] The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying images, etc. The view system can be used to build applications. A display interface can be composed of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text notification icon can include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying images.

[0082] The resource manager provides various resources for applications, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, and so on.

[0083] The notification manager enables applications to display notification information in the status bar. It can be used to convey notification-type messages and can disappear automatically after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to notify download completion, message reminders, etc. The notification manager can also be a notification that appears in the system top status bar in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as notifications of applications running in the background, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is displayed in the status bar, a prompt sound is emitted, an electronic device vibrates, an indicator light flashes, etc.

[0084] The activity manager can provide activity management services (AMS), which can be used to start, switch, and schedule system components (such as activities, services, content providers, and broadcast receivers) as well as manage and schedule application processes.

[0085] The input manager can provide input management services (IMS), which can be used to manage system input, such as touch screen input, key input, sensor input, etc. IMS takes events from input device nodes and distributes them to appropriate windows through interaction with WMS.

[0086] The Android runtime includes the core library and the Android runtime. The Android runtime is responsible for converting source code into machine code. The Android runtime mainly uses the ahead of time (AOT) compilation technology and the just in time (JIT) compilation technology.

[0087] The core library is mainly used to provide basic Java class library functions, such as basic data structures, mathematics, IO, tools, databases, networks, etc. The core library provides an API for users to develop Android applications.

[0088] The native C / C++ library can include multiple functional modules, such as surface manager, media framework, libc, OpenGL ES, SQLite, Webkit, etc.

[0089] Among them, the surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The media framework supports playback and recording of a variety of commonly used audio and video formats, as well as static image files, etc. The media library can support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc. OpenGL ES provides drawing and operation of 2D graphics and 3D graphics in applications. SQLite provides a lightweight relational database for applications of electronic device 100.

[0090] The hardware abstraction layer runs in user space, encapsulates kernel layer drivers, and provides a calling interface to the upper layer.

[0091] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer contains at least display driver, camera driver, audio driver, and sensor driver.

[0092] The following embodiments are applied in Figure 1 The architecture shown in the mobile phone 100 is used as an example for description.

[0093] In addition, at least one of the following embodiments includes one or more, wherein more means greater than or equal to two. In addition, it should be understood that in the description of this application, the words "first", "second" and the like are only used for the purpose of distinguishing the description.

[0094] The following first introduces several types of folders involved in the embodiments of the present application. In the embodiments of the present application, the folders may include small folders, large folders, and slidable folders (e.g., ring-shaped folders). It should be understood that the slidable folder may be in the form of a ring-shaped folder as shown in the embodiments of the present application, or in other forms, such as a rectangle, in which the application icon can slide left and right, etc., and the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0095] The slidable folder takes a ring-shaped folder as an example. Specifically, the large folder and the small folder can be switched between each other, the small folder and the ring-shaped folder can be switched between each other, and the large folder and the ring-shaped folder can also be switched between each other. Exemplarily, when the folder is a small folder, the user can long press the small folder, and then switch the small folder to a large folder or a ring-shaped folder display; when the folder is a large folder, the user can also long press the large folder, and then switch the large folder to a small folder or a ring-shaped folder display; when the folder is a ring-shaped folder, the user can also long press the ring-shaped folder, and then switch the ring-shaped folder to a small folder or a large folder display. It should be understood that the application in the small folder needs to expand the small folder first, and then click the application icon to open the application. The application in the large folder can be opened directly by clicking the application icon.

[0096] The following is an introduction to switching between folders of different forms in conjunction with the user interface (UI). Figure 3A As shown, assuming that the phone displays the main interface, such as Figure 3A The interface 300 shown in (a) of FIG. 300 may include a small folder 301. When the user clicks on the small folder 301, the folder can be expanded. When the user long presses the small folder 301, a Figure 3A The interface 310 shown in (b) of FIG. 310 may include display mode switching buttons, such as "display as large folder" 311 and "display as circular folder" 312. When the user clicks the "display as large folder" 311 button, the small folder 301 may be displayed as a large folder, for example, as Figure 3A The interface 320 shown in (c) in FIG. 3 may include a large folder 321. When the user clicks the "display as circular folder" 312 button in the interface 310, the mobile phone may respond to the click operation and display the small folder 301 as a circular folder, for example, displaying Figure 3A The interface 330 shown in (d) may include a circular folder 331.

[0097] See also Figure 3B As shown, assuming that the phone displays Figure 3B The interface 340 shown in (a) of FIG. 3 includes a large folder 341. When the user performs a long press operation on the large folder 341, the mobile phone can respond to the long press operation and display Figure 3B The interface 350 shown in (b) of FIG. 3 may include display mode switching buttons, such as "display as circular folder" 351 and "display as small folder" 352. When the user clicks the "display as circular folder" 351 button, the mobile phone can respond to the click operation and switch the large folder 341 to a circular folder, for example, Figure 3AWhen the user clicks "Show as small folder" 352, the mobile phone can respond to the click operation and switch the large folder 341 to a small folder, for example, Figure 3A The interface 300 shown in (a) in FIG.

[0098] It should be understood that in actual product implementation, if the large folder includes a large number of applications, the application icon at the position of the 9th application icon can be displayed through the stacking effect shown in the figure, or through other display effects. For example, the application icon at the position of the 9th application icon can also be displayed normally (that is, clicking the application icon can directly open the application), etc. This application does not limit this.

[0099] In some embodiments, the position of the application icon displayed in the folder can be dynamically updated according to the user's usage information of the application included in the folder. The user's usage information of the application included in the folder may include the user's usage time and / or usage frequency of the application. In other words, the position of the application icon in the folder can be dynamically updated based on the user's usage time and / or usage frequency of the application.

[0100] Specifically, the following possible implementation methods may be included:

[0101] (1) Dynamically update the position of the application icon based on the frequency of user use of the application

[0102] First, the mobile phone can obtain the usage frequency of each application included in the folder, then sort the usage frequencies of the applications from high to low, and finally update the positions of the corresponding icons in the order of usage frequencies from high to low. The usage frequency of each application included in the folder can be obtained at a fixed time interval or at a non-fixed time interval, which is not limited in this application.

[0103] Correspondingly, the position of the application icon in the folder can also be updated at a fixed time interval (or a fixed period). Of course, the position update can also be performed at a fixed time interval. For example, when the subsequent product is implemented, a button can be set on the interface, and the user can choose to have the mobile phone automatically update the position of the application icon according to their own needs.

[0104] For example, suppose the phone displays Figure 4In the interface 400 shown in (a), the interface 400 includes a large folder 401. For example, the large folder 401 includes 10 applications, such as a file management application, an email application, a calculator application, a sports and health application, a weather application, a browser application, a smart life application, a setting application, a recorder application, and an application store application. After the user uses the mobile phone for a period of time or the time reaches a fixed time interval (for example, 30 minutes), the mobile phone can obtain the usage frequency of the above applications included in the large folder 401, and sort the usage frequency of the above applications from high to low. For example, in the above applications, the usage frequency of the setting application>the usage frequency of the file management application>the usage frequency of the email application>the usage frequency of the application store application>the usage frequency of the weather application, and the usage frequency of the remaining other applications, the browser application, the smart life application, the recorder application, the calculator application, and the sports and health application are all 0.

[0105] Based on the above application usage frequency ranking result, the mobile phone can update the display position of the applications included in the large folder 401, for example, Figure 4 The interface 410 shown in (b) is an updated interface. For example, the position of the application icons in the large folder 401 included in the interface 410 is the same as that in the large folder 401. Figure 4 The positions of the application icons in the large folder 401 in the interface 400 shown in (a) are different. For example, the setting application is used most frequently, and the application icon of the setting application can be updated from the position of the 8th application icon to the position of the 1st application icon in the large folder; the file management application is used second most frequently, and the application icon of the file management application can be updated from the position of the 1st application icon to the position of the 2nd application icon in the large folder. By analogy, the positions of all / part of the application icons included in the large folder 401 can be updated in turn in the above manner. It should be understood that since the user may not use some applications during this period of time, the positions of the application icons of applications that have not been used by the user may change or may not change, and this application is not limited to this.

[0106] It should be understood that the above example only illustrates the updating of the application icon of the settings application to the position of the first application icon in the large folder. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to placing the application icon of the most frequently used application at the position of the first application icon. For example, the application icon of the settings application can also be placed at the position of the fourth application icon in the large folder, and then the application icon of the file management application can be placed at the position of the fifth application icon in the large folder, and the application icon of the email application can be placed at the position of the sixth application icon in the large folder, and so on after all the application icons are placed.

[0107] (2) Dynamically update the position of the application icon based on the user's usage time of the application

[0108] First, the mobile phone can obtain the usage time of each application included in the folder, then sort the usage time of the applications in descending order, and finally update the position of the application icon in descending order of the usage time. The usage time of each application included in the folder can be obtained at a fixed time interval or at a non-fixed time interval, which is not limited in this application.

[0109] In some embodiments, the position of the application icon in the folder may be updated at fixed time intervals (or fixed periods).

[0110] In other embodiments, the position update may not be performed at a fixed time interval. For example, each time a user uses and closes an application, the mobile phone re-acquires the usage time of each application in the folder and then updates the application icon position of the application.

[0111] For example, suppose the phone displays Figure 5 The interface 500 shown in (a) in the figure may include a circular folder 501. The circular folder 501 may include application icons of multiple applications, and the center of the circular folder may include a button 502. Taking a fixed time interval, such as obtaining the usage time of an application every 30 minutes as an example, it is assumed that the mobile phone can obtain the usage time of the applications included in the circular folder 501. For example, within the 30 minutes, the usage time of the email application is 15 minutes, the usage time of the browser application is 10 minutes, the usage time of the sports and health application is 8 minutes, the usage time of the setting application is 5 minutes, the usage time of the file management application is 2 minutes, the usage time of the weather application is 1 minute, and the usage time of the recorder application, the calculator application and the application store application is 0 minute.

[0112] Next, the mobile phone can sort the usage time of the above applications included in the circular folder 501 in descending order, for example, the sorting result is: email application, browser application, sports and health application, smart life application, setting application, file management application, weather application, recorder application, calculator application, application store application. Among them, the usage time of the email application is the longest within the 30 minutes, the browser application is the second longest, and so on.

[0113] After the sorting is completed, the position of the application icon in the ring folder 501 can be updated according to the sorting result. For example, the updated position can be referred to in Figure 5The interface 510 shown in (b) in FIG. The usage time of the application corresponding to the application icon displayed in the interface 510 decreases in a clockwise direction. Of course, the above interface is only a schematic, and the usage time of the application corresponding to the application icon can also decrease in a counterclockwise direction, and this application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0114] It should be understood that Figure 5 In the interface shown in (b), the application icon for the application with the longest usage time, namely the email application, is located at the top of the ring. In actual product implementation, the application icon corresponding to the application with the longest usage time may also be located at other positions, such as at the three o'clock position of the ring, etc. This application is not limited to this.

[0115] In other embodiments, when the user clicks the button 502 located at the center of the annular folder 501, the mobile phone can respond to the user's click operation and expand and display the application icons of all applications included in the annular folder 501. It should be understood that the display effect can refer to the effect of clicking a small folder to expand the small folder and display all application icons, which will not be repeated here.

[0116] (3) Dynamically update the position of the application icon based on the user's frequency and duration of use of the application

[0117] In some embodiments, the mobile phone can obtain the usage frequency and usage duration of each application included in the folder, and then determine the score of each application based on the usage frequency and usage duration of the application, and the score can be used to characterize the usage of the application within a preset duration. Then, the scores of all applications included in the folder are sorted in order from high to low, and finally the position of the application icon is updated according to the sorting result. Exemplarily, the usage frequency and usage duration of the applications included in the folder can be normalized, and then the numerical value corresponding to the usage frequency of each application after normalization and the numerical value corresponding to the usage duration after normalization are calculated respectively, and finally the score of each application can be calculated according to the numerical value corresponding to the usage frequency of each application after normalization, the weight value of the usage frequency, the numerical value corresponding to the usage duration of each application after normalization, and the weight value of the usage duration.

[0118] It should be understood that the implementation method of dynamically updating the position of the application icon based on the user's frequency of use and usage time of the application and the user interface display effect can be found in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The detailed description in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0119] Furthermore, the slidable folder of the embodiment of the present application can update the position of the displayed application icons based on the user's gesture operation to solve the problem of fixed arrangement layout of the application icons in the folder and increase the playability and fun of the folder.

[0120] For example, taking a circular folder as an example, assuming that the mobile phone displays the following Fig. 6A The interface 600 shown in (a) includes a circular folder 601, for example, the circular folder 601 includes a file management application, an email application, a calculator application, a sports and health application, a weather application, a browser application, a smart life application, a setting application, a recorder application, and an application store application. Among them, the application icon of the setting application, the application icon of the recorder application, and the application icon of the application store application can be displayed in the position shown in the figure by the overlapping display method shown in the figure.

[0121] As a possible implementation, Fig. 6A In the schematic diagram shown, the usage frequency and / or usage duration of the applications in the annular folder 601 decreases in a clockwise direction, for example, the file management application has the highest usage frequency and / or the longest usage duration, and the application store application has the lowest usage frequency and / or the shortest usage duration. It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the usage frequency and / or usage duration of the applications included in the annular folder 601 is not limited to decreasing in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction.

[0122] When the user slides the finger from the file management application icon in the ring folder 601 in the clockwise direction shown in the figure, for example, when the finger slides the file management application icon to the position where the calculator application icon is located in the interface 600, the mobile phone can respond to the sliding operation and update the position of the application icons displayed on the ring track of the ring folder 601, for example, it can move some application icons in the clockwise direction to the position where the application icons are overlapped, and then move the application icons at the original overlapping application icon positions to be displayed on the ring track, for example, it can be updated to Fig. 6A In the interface 610 shown in (b), the application icon of the recorder application can be displayed at the position of the file management application icon as shown in the interface 600, and the application icon of the application store application can be displayed at the position of the email application icon as shown in the interface 600.

[0123] As another example, suppose the phone displays Figure 6BThe interface 620 shown in (a) of FIG. 6 is the same as the interface 600. When the user slides the file management application icon in the ring folder 601 in the counterclockwise direction shown in the figure, for example, when the finger slides the file management application icon to the position where the overlapping application icon in the interface 600 is located, the mobile phone can respond to the sliding operation and update the position of the application icon displayed on the ring of the ring folder 601. For example, the updated interface can be referred to in FIG. Figure 6B (b) in the figure shows the interface 630. In the interface 630, compared with the interface 620, the application icons can be uniformly moved in a counterclockwise direction. For example, the email application icon in the interface 630 can be displayed at the position of the file management application icon shown in the interface 620.

[0124] It should be understood that there is a corresponding relationship between the sliding distance of the user's finger and the amount of movement of the application icon. Fig. 6A , assuming that the position of the file management application icon is position 1, the position of the email application icon is position 2, the position of the calculator application icon is position 3, and so on, the position of the overlapping application icons is position 8, and position 8 includes 3 application icons. Then, when the file management application icon is moved from position 1 to position 3, the application icons at positions 6 and 7 can be moved to position 8, and the last two application icons at position 8 can be moved to position 1 and position 2.

[0125] Through the above embodiments, dynamic refresh display of application icons in a folder can be achieved, the playability of the folder can be increased, the problem of visual fatigue can be solved, and the user experience can be improved.

[0126] The display method of the embodiment of the present application is introduced below in conjunction with the method flow chart. Figure 7 As shown, it is a flow chart of a display method provided by an embodiment of the present application, see Figure 7 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0127] S701. The mobile phone 100 displays a first interface.

[0128] The first interface includes a first folder, and the first folder includes icons of multiple applications.

[0129] S702: The mobile phone 100 obtains usage information of each application in the first folder.

[0130] In some embodiments, the mobile phone 100 may obtain usage information of each application included in the first folder, such as usage duration information and / or usage frequency information of the application. Furthermore, the mobile phone 100 may obtain usage information of each application included in the first folder in real time, or may obtain usage information of each application included in the first folder once every preset time, or may obtain usage information of each application included in the first folder based on a trigger operation of the user, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0131] S703: The mobile phone 100 updates the positions of all / part of the application icons in the first folder according to the usage information of each application in the first folder.

[0132] In some embodiments, the mobile phone 100 can adjust the positions of application icons of all / part of the applications based on the application usage information in the first folder, so that the positions of the application icons can change dynamically based on the usage of the applications without the need for manual adjustment by the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0133] Specifically, after the mobile phone 100 obtains the usage information of each application in the first folder, the usage information of all applications in the first folder can be sorted, and then the position of the application icon in the first folder can be updated according to the sorting result. As an example, the mobile phone 100 can count the usage frequency and / or usage duration of each application in the first folder in real time, and then use the least recently used (LRU) algorithm to calculate an application list arranged in order, and the application list can be updated in real time according to the usage frequency and / or usage duration of each application, and the display layout of the application can be called back after the update. It should be understood that the relative position relationship of different applications after the position update corresponds to the size relationship of the usage frequency and / or the size relationship of the usage duration of different applications. For example, the usage frequency of application 1 is higher than that of application 2, so after the position update, the display position of application 1 can be located before the display position of application 2.

[0134] by Figure 4 For example, assuming the first interface is Figure 4 In the interface 400 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the mobile phone 100 can obtain the usage information of each application in the large folder 401, and then sort the application icons according to the usage information of each application, and adjust the layout of the application icons in the large folder 401 based on the sorting result, such as from Figure 4 The interface shown in (a) to Figure 4 It can be seen from the interface shown in (b) that the display positions of some application icons in the large folder 401 have changed, and the display layout of the large folder 401 has been updated.

[0135] In a possible implementation, the first folder may also include a first subfolder, such as Fig. 6A As shown in FIG. 6 , the application icons are overlapped and displayed in the circular folder 601 , and the first subfolder may include at least one application.

[0136] by Fig. 6A Taking the schematic diagram shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the mobile phone 100 can detect the user's sliding operation on the email application icon, for example, the email application icon can be moved from Fig. 6A The position in the schematic diagram (a) is moved to Fig. 6A When the position in the schematic diagram (b) is reached, the mobile phone 100 may respond to the operation and display Fig. 6A In the interface 610 shown in (b) of FIG. 600 , the email application icon is still displayed outside the first subfolder, and the recorder application icon and the application store application icon are located in the first subfolder in the interface 600 . In the interface 610 , the recorder application icon and the application store application icon may be updated and displayed outside the first subfolder. Of course, if the user slides a longer distance, the email application icon may also be updated and displayed in the first subfolder, and this application does not limit this.

[0137] Through the above embodiments, the layout of application icons in a folder can be dynamically updated according to the user's application usage information in the folder, making the layout of application icons more intelligent and solving the problem of visual fatigue. In addition, no manual adjustment is required by the user, which can improve the user experience.

[0138] It should be noted that Figure 7 The specific implementation process of the illustrated embodiment can be found in the detailed description in the aforementioned embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0139] like Figure 8 As shown, it is a flow chart of a display method provided by an embodiment of the present application, see Figure 8 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0140] S801. The mobile phone 100 displays a first interface.

[0141] The first interface includes a first folder, and the first folder includes a first subfolder. It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the first subfolder can be in the form of a folder, or in the form of overlapping application icons (such as the display form of the application icon at the 9th position of the large folder 341 in the interface 340), etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first folder of the first interface also includes multiple applications that do not belong to the first subfolder, and the icons of the multiple applications and the first subfolder are displayed in a circle.

[0143] In some other embodiments, the first folder of the first interface also includes multiple applications that do not belong to the first subfolder, the icons of the multiple applications are displayed in a circle, and the icon of the first subfolder is displayed in the center of the first folder.

[0144] S802: The mobile phone 100 detects a first operation of the user.

[0145] Exemplarily, the first operation may be an operation on the icon of the first application. Specifically, the first operation may be an operation of moving the icon of the first application from the first position to an adjacent icon of the icon of the first application. The adjacent icon refers to icons of other applications in the plurality of applications that do not belong to the first subfolder.

[0146] S803: In response to the user's first operation, the mobile phone 100 moves the first target application to the first subfolder and moves the second target application out of the first subfolder.

[0147] Among them, the icon of the second target application is displayed in the third position of the first folder, the first target application is the first application or other applications that do not belong to the first subfolder before the first operation, the second target application is the second application or other applications that belong to the first subfolder before the first operation, and the third position is different from the second position.

[0148] When the first operation is an operation of moving the icon of the first application from a first position to icons of other applications among multiple applications, the icon of the first target application is the icon of the first application and the icon of the application adjacent to the first subfolder between the icon of the first application and the first subfolder; when the first operation is an operation of moving the icon of the first application from a first position to the icon of the first subfolder, the first target application is the first application.

[0149] That is, after the first operation, the icon of the first application may be in the first subfolder or outside the first subfolder. Alternatively, it can be understood that after the first operation, the icon of the first application may be moved into the first subfolder, and icons of other applications may be moved into the first subfolder, while the icon of the second application originally in the first subfolder may be displayed outside the first subfolder after the first operation.

[0150] In some embodiments, the first subfolder may include a second application, and the second target application may be the second application or other applications in the first subfolder. When the second target application moves out of the first subfolder, its moving direction is consistent with the moving direction of the icon of the first application. For example, if the moving direction of the icon of the first application is clockwise, then when the icon of the second target application moves out of the first subfolder, the moving direction is also clockwise. Furthermore, after the move, the second target application may be displayed at a position adjacent to the first subfolder.

[0151] For example, Fig. 6A For example, assuming that the first application is an email application, the positions of the multiple application icons displayed overlappingly can be understood as the positions of the first subfolder. Fig. 6A The position in the schematic diagram (a) is moved to Fig. 6A When the position in the schematic diagram (b) is reached, the mobile phone 100 may respond to the gesture operation and display Fig. 6A Interface 610 shown in (b) in FIG. In interface 610, the email application icon is displayed outside the first subfolder, the recorder application icon and the application store application icon are located in the first subfolder in interface 600, and in interface 610, the recorder application icon and the application store application icon can be updated and displayed outside the first subfolder.

[0152] Through the above embodiments, based on user operations, the application icons in the small folders included in the folder can be displayed outside the small folders, and the icons of the applications displayed outside the small folders can be displayed inside the small folders, thereby realizing dynamic update of the layout of the application icons in the folders, making the arrangement of the application icons more intelligent and solving the problem of visual fatigue.
