[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer and more specific, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0033] Currently, most mobile operating systems only provide limited desktop management functions. Users can usually only organize desktop icons by creating folders or moving applications to other screens. This method cannot truly hide sensitive applications, and anyone who gets a mobile phone can easily browse all installed applications. This may not only leak users' privacy information, but also increase the risk of sensitive applications being attacked by malware or hackers.

[0034] In addition, existing mobile terminals lack flexible desktop personalization management functions. Users cannot selectively hide certain application icons according to their needs, which may cause the desktop interface to appear cluttered and affect the user experience. At the same time, for users who have a strong need to separate work and life, existing technologies are difficult to meet their needs for quickly switching to display different application sets in different scenarios.

[0035] The existing technology also has the problem of insufficient security. Even if some third-party applications provide hidden functions, they usually lack effective access control mechanisms. Once the device is obtained by others, the hidden applications can still be easily discovered and accessed, which cannot truly protect the user's privacy.

[0036] Another significant problem is that existing hiding solutions often lack persistence. When the device is restarted or the system is updated, the hidden application may reappear on the desktop, which not only brings inconvenience, but may also cause privacy leakage in some cases.

[0037] Finally, existing hidden functions usually require manual operation by users, lacking intelligent and automated management mechanisms. Users cannot automatically switch desktop layouts according to time, scene, and other factors, which reduces usage efficiency and fails to meet the personalized needs of advanced users.

[0038] With the development of science and technology, the use of mobile terminals such as mobile phones is becoming more and more common, and mobile phones have become an indispensable communication tool in people's lives. With the continuous enrichment of mobile phone functions and the continuous increase in the number of APPs, desktop application privacy protection has become particularly important. However, it is basically difficult for mobile terminals in the prior art to realize the function of hiding important APP application icons on the desktop, which is sometimes inconvenient to protect the privacy of users. The present invention provides a mobile terminal desktop icon hiding processing method, which enhances personal privacy protection by allowing users to selectively hide specific application icons.

[0039] The present invention provides a method for hiding desktop icons of a mobile terminal, which comprises the following steps: 1. firstly loading all applications in a mobile phone--》2. a user selecting a hidden application--》3. saving the hidden icon to a database--》4. returning to the desktop to compare the hidden icon data set with the desktop icon--》if there is an icon to be hidden on the desktop--》triggering icon deletion.

[0040] Then when the desktop is restarted and loaded--》load the hidden icon from the database--》traverse the icons on the desktop--》check whether the current desktop has a hidden mark--》if it is a hidden mark, do not display the icon, which provides convenience for users.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, a method for hiding desktop icons of a mobile terminal according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0042] Step S100, controlling the loading of all applications in the mobile terminal;

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal is described by taking a mobile phone as an example. This step involves controlling and loading all installed applications in the mobile terminal, which can ensure that the applications can run normally and are ready for subsequent operations. By controlling application loading, the system can optimize resource usage, reduce unnecessary memory consumption, and improve the response speed of the device to ensure a smooth user experience.

[0044] Step S200: receiving a user operation instruction to select an application whose icon needs to be hidden, generating a hidden icon data set according to the selected application whose icon is to be hidden and saving it in a hidden database;

[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the specific implementation, the application whose icon needs to be hidden can be set by setting a hide application operation item; specifically, Figure 2 As shown on the left, when the user wants to hide some application icons on the mobile phone desktop, the user opens the hidden application operation item interface through the operation instruction and selects the application to be hidden. The system then creates a hidden data set containing these application icons and saves it to the database.

[0046] This step allows users to choose to hide specific applications to protect privacy, especially when sharing a device. By hiding infrequently used or private applications, a clearer and more organized desktop interface is provided.

[0047] For example, users may choose to hide the "Private Mail" app and "Social Networking" app icons to prevent others from seeing these contents, thereby better protecting their personal information.

[0048] Step S300: when it is detected that the user has returned to the desktop of the mobile terminal, the hidden icon data set is compared with the desktop icons to confirm whether there are any icons on the desktop that need to be hidden;

[0049] In the embodiment of this step, after the user sets the application icons to be hidden through the hiding application operation item, this step will perform detection. When the user completes the setting of the hidden icons and returns to the mobile phone desktop, the hidden icon data set will be compared with the current desktop icons to confirm which icons should be hidden.

[0050] This step ensures that the desktop is always up to date without the need for manual management. It also improves the user experience by preventing users from seeing application icons that others have chosen to hide.

[0051] For example, if the user has just hidden certain icons and then returns to the desktop, the present invention will automatically identify and remove these icons to ensure that the desktop looks tidy and in accordance with the user's settings.

[0052] Step S400: When it is detected that there are icons on the desktop that need to be hidden, an icon deletion operation is triggered to hide the icons on the current desktop that need to be hidden;

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, after confirming that there are icons on the desktop that need to be hidden, the system will perform a deletion (actually hiding) operation to ensure that these icons are no longer displayed on the desktop. For example, after the user confirms to hide the "private social application" icon, the system of the present invention will immediately remove the icon from the desktop to help the user focus on other daily applications, such as "calendar" or "to-do list".

[0054] In the embodiment of the present invention, the user's control over personal space can be guaranteed, so that the user feels that his mobile phone usage experience is respected and protected. In addition, interference can be reduced because the user is no longer disturbed by unwanted application icons and can focus on the content that interests them.

[0055] Through these steps, the overall privacy protection, operation convenience and interface experience of users when using mobile devices are improved. In modern society, these functions are particularly important for many people to protect their digital life privacy and personalized needs.

[0056] Step S500: when the desktop is restarted and loaded, the hidden icon information is loaded from the database;

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the desktop of the mobile terminal is restarted or reloaded, the previously saved hidden icon information is obtained from the hidden database so that the system can properly manage these icons. For example, if the user hides several applications in a session, when they restart the phone, the system of the present invention will automatically extract these settings from the database and perform the work of hiding the icons.

[0058] This step ensures that the user's privacy settings are persistent between sessions, avoiding repeated configurations. Users do not need to manually set them up after each restart. Once you choose to hide, the system automatically handles it, improving the user experience.

[0059] Step S600, traverse the desktop icons to detect whether there are any icons to be hidden on the current desktop;

[0060] In this step, the system of the present invention checks all icons on the current desktop to determine which icons need to be hidden. The system compares the icons with the previously loaded hidden icon information.

[0061] For example, the system will traverse each application icon on the desktop and find that the "private message" application icon is marked as hidden, so it prepares to hide it.

[0062] This step automatically traverses the icons through the system, reducing the burden of manual checking by the user and improving efficiency. It can also ensure that the content displayed on the desktop each time is what the user wants, reducing possible erroneous displays.

[0063] Step S700: When it is detected that there are icons to be hidden on the current desktop, the corresponding icons to be hidden are controlled not to be displayed.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present invention, after completing the detection of desktop icons, if icons that need to be hidden are found, the system will take measures to prevent these icons from being displayed on the user's desktop. For example, if the user hides the "online banking" application icon, when the desktop is loaded, the system will ensure that this icon is no longer displayed on the main interface, making the user feel safer and more convenient when using the mobile phone.

[0065] The present invention can effectively protect the user's personal information and application content from being viewed by others, especially in a social environment, and can provide the user with a neater and more orderly desktop environment, reducing information overload.

[0066] To summarize these steps, from the management of hidden icons to the dynamic update of the desktop, they are all aimed at enhancing the user's control over the device, allowing users to better protect personal privacy and obtain a personalized experience. Through the automated process, users can enjoy a safer and more comfortable digital environment without interfering with their normal use.

[0067] As can be seen from the above, the implementation of this method depends on several key steps and features. First, control the loading of all applications in the mobile terminal to ensure that all applications are identified and managed in the system. Then, the user can select the application whose icon needs to be hidden through the operation instruction. The system will generate a hidden icon data set based on the selected hidden icon application and save it to the hidden database. When the user returns to the mobile terminal desktop, the system will automatically compare the hidden icon data set with the desktop icons to confirm whether there are any icons that need to be hidden. If there are icons that need to be hidden, the system will trigger the icon deletion operation to hide these icons from the current desktop.

[0068] To ensure that hidden icons remain hidden when the desktop is restarted, the system will load the hidden icon information from the database and traverse the desktop icons to detect whether there are any icons that need to be hidden on the current desktop. If it detects that there are icons that need to be hidden, the system will control them not to be displayed. In this way, users can effectively hide specific application icons and protect their personal privacy.

[0069] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has significant advantages. First, by reducing the exposure of sensitive applications, the risk of these applications being attacked by malware or hackers is reduced. Secondly, personalized management of the desktop is achieved, and users can hide certain applications as needed, making the mobile phone interface more concise and refreshing, and reducing the interference of irrelevant information. In addition, the use of a database to store hidden icon information realizes the persistence of the hidden state, ensuring that the hidden state can be maintained after restarting. By dynamically judging whether the icon needs to be hidden during the desktop loading process, flexible icon display control is achieved.

[0070] The present invention is implemented at the software level, does not require hardware changes, is easy to integrate and use in existing mobile phone systems, and has good practicality and promotion value. Specifically, by controlling the loading of all applications in the mobile terminal, receiving user operation instructions to select applications that need to hide icons, a hidden icon data set is generated according to the selected hidden icon applications and saved in a hidden database. When it is detected that the desktop of the mobile terminal is returned, the hidden icon data set is compared with the desktop icons to confirm whether there are icons that need to be hidden on the desktop icons. If it is detected that there are icons that need to be hidden on the desktop icons, the icon deletion operation is triggered to hide the icons that need to be hidden on the current desktop. When the desktop is restarted and loaded, the hidden icon information is loaded from the database, and the desktop icons are traversed to detect whether there are icons that need to be hidden on the current desktop. If it is detected that there are icons that need to be hidden, the corresponding icons that need to be hidden are controlled not to be displayed.

[0071] Through the above steps, the present invention effectively solves the problem of insufficient privacy protection of desktop applications of mobile terminals in the prior art, and provides a safer and more flexible desktop icon hiding processing method.

[0072] In a further embodiment, the method for hiding desktop icons of a mobile terminal described in the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0073] S801, when a hidden icon needs to be viewed, detecting whether there is a preset operation action for viewing the hidden icon;

[0074] S802: When a preset operation action of viewing hidden icons is detected, the display hidden icon interface is started, and all hidden icon information is loaded from the hidden database and displayed on the desktop.

[0075] Before the specific embodiment of the present invention, a preset operation action for viewing hidden icons can be pre-set. In the method for hiding icons on the desktop of a mobile terminal, pre-setting a preset operation action for viewing hidden icons is an important step. Specifically, this step can be implemented by the user performing a specific operation on the mobile terminal, such as a gesture operation of sliding outward from the desktop of the mobile terminal with two fingers, or entering a specific access password. The setting of this operation action enables the user to easily view the hidden icon information, thereby improving the user experience and the effect of privacy protection.

[0076] The preset operation action of viewing hidden icons can be implemented in a variety of ways. For example, the user can select and set a specific gesture operation in the setting interface of the mobile terminal, or enter an access password to view the hidden icons. Specifically, an option can be provided in the setting menu of the mobile terminal to allow the user to set a specific gesture operation or set an access password. When the user needs to view the hidden icon, he only needs to perform the preset gesture operation or enter the access password to display the hidden icon information.

[0077] The advantage of this technical solution is that by presetting the operation action of viewing hidden icons, users can conveniently operate when they need to view hidden icons, thereby enhancing the privacy protection effect of users. Compared with the prior art, this application improves the convenience and safety of operation by allowing users to pre-set the operation action of viewing hidden icons, and solves the problem of complex and inconvenient operation of viewing hidden icons in the prior art. Therefore, this application has significant advantages in improving user experience and privacy protection.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a hidden icon needs to be viewed, it is detected whether there is a preset operation action for viewing the hidden icon; when a preset operation action for viewing the hidden icon is detected, the hidden icon display interface is controlled to start, and all hidden icon information is loaded from the hidden database and displayed on the desktop.

[0079] The technical solution of the present application realizes the function of viewing hidden icons by detecting whether there is a preset operation action of viewing hidden icons. Specifically, when a preset operation action of viewing hidden icons is detected, the system of the present invention controls the startup of the display hidden icon interface, and loads all hidden icon information from the hidden database and displays it on the desktop. Thus, the user can view the hidden icons when needed, and these icons remain hidden when not needed.

[0080] There are many ways to implement the newly added technical features. For example, the preset operation action for viewing hidden icons can be a specific gesture operation performed by the user on the mobile terminal desktop, such as a gesture operation of sliding outward from the mobile terminal desktop with two fingers; or it can be to enter a specific access password, and verify whether the access password entered by the user is correct through the password input interface. When it is detected that the access password is entered correctly, the control temporarily displays all hidden application icons. In addition, it can also be set based on the time period, and the control system automatically switches the display / hidden application icons according to the current time.

[0081] This application realizes the function of viewing hidden icons by detecting the preset operation action of viewing hidden icons, which solves the problem of insufficient privacy protection of mobile desktop applications in the prior art. Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: it improves the flexibility and convenience of user privacy protection, and users can view or hide specific application icons at any time as needed; it further enhances the security of privacy protection, and only users who perform specific operations or enter the correct password can view hidden icons; through the implementation at the software level, it is easy to integrate and use in the existing mobile phone system, and has good practicality and promotion value.

[0082] In a further embodiment, the method for hiding desktop icons of a mobile terminal described in the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0083] The preset operation action for viewing the hidden icons is a gesture operation of sliding two fingers outward from the desktop of the mobile terminal.

[0084] In the method for hiding icons on the desktop of a mobile terminal, the preset operation action for viewing hidden icons is a gesture operation of sliding two fingers outward from the desktop of the mobile terminal. This operation action is designed to trigger the display of hidden icons through a specific gesture operation, thereby improving the convenience and safety of users when viewing hidden icons.

[0085] This gesture operation technical solution mainly solves the problem of user convenience when viewing hidden icons. By setting a gesture operation of sliding two fingers outward from the desktop of the mobile terminal, users can quickly view hidden icon information without entering a password or performing complex operations. This operation method is both simple and hidden, and can effectively prevent others from viewing hidden icons without knowing it.

[0086] Specifically, this gesture operation can be implemented through the touch screen detection module of the mobile terminal. When the user slides outward with two fingers on the desktop, the touch screen detection module detects this preset operation and triggers the corresponding control command. After receiving this command, the system will load all hidden icon information from the hidden database and display these hidden icons on the desktop.

[0087] The advantage of this technical solution is that the display of hidden icons is triggered by gesture operation, which avoids the cumbersome password input process and improves the concealment and security of the operation. Compared with the prior art, the solution of this application makes the operation of viewing hidden icons more convenient and efficient, and further enhances the privacy protection of users.

[0088] In a further embodiment, the method for hiding desktop icons of a mobile terminal described in the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0089] The preset operation action for viewing hidden icons is an access password for starting to view hidden icons; setting a unified access password for the hidden icon set, and pre-setting a hidden icon password input interface in the mobile terminal to allow the user to enter the access password for viewing the hidden icons; when the hidden icons need to be viewed, the following steps are included: verifying whether the access password entered by the user is correct through the hidden icon password input interface; when it is detected that the access password is entered correctly, controlling the temporary display of all hidden application icons.

[0090] This application further enhances the level of user privacy protection by presetting the operation action of viewing hidden icons as an access password. When a user needs to view a hidden icon, he or she first needs to pass the password verification. This process ensures that only authorized users can see the hidden icons. Specifically, when a user needs to view a hidden application icon, the system will pop up a password input interface, and the user enters the preset access password in this interface. The system will verify the password entered by the user, and only when the password is correct will the system temporarily display all hidden application icons. This method not only enhances privacy protection, but also increases the security of operation.

[0091] In order to achieve the above functions, the mobile terminal needs to pre-set an access password in the system and provide a password input interface. The password input interface can be implemented by software and usually pops up automatically when the user tries to view the hidden icon. The password verification process can be completed by the system's built-in security module, which can ensure the accuracy and security of the password verification. Once the password entered by the user is verified, the system will control the display of the hidden application icons and hide these icons again after the user has finished viewing them.

[0092] Therefore, this application further improves the security and privacy protection capabilities of the mobile terminal desktop icon hiding processing method by introducing an access password. Compared with the prior art, this application not only provides a simple and easy-to-use icon hiding function, but also ensures that only authorized users can view the hidden icons through a password verification mechanism, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of privacy leakage.

[0093] In a further embodiment, the method for hiding desktop icons of a mobile terminal described in the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0094] Before the step of receiving a user operation instruction to select an application whose icon needs to be hidden, the step includes adding application category and time period fields in the hidden database to set the working hours, personal time, and application categories allowed to be displayed in each time period for each icon that needs to be hidden; when the hidden icons need to be viewed, the step includes the following steps: based on the application category and time period fields added and set in the hidden database, and the automatic switching function of time, the control system automatically switches the display / hide application icons according to the current time.

[0095] In the specific implementation, for example, "application category" and "time period" fields are added to the original hidden icon database. The automatic switching function based on time is realized: the system automatically switches the displayed / hidden application icons according to the current time.

[0096] The technical solution proposed in this application mainly solves the problem of insufficient privacy protection of desktop applications on mobile terminals in the prior art. By adding application category and time period fields to the hidden database, it is possible to classify and manage application icons for different time periods. Users can set working hours and personal time according to their needs, and set the application categories allowed to be displayed in each time period. Based on the time-based automatic switching function, the system can automatically switch the displayed or hidden application icons according to the current time, thereby achieving more flexible desktop icon management.

[0097] In a specific implementation, an application category field can be added to the hidden database to store the category information of each application, such as work applications, entertainment applications, etc.; a time period field can be added to store the start time and end time of each time period; when the system detects that the user has returned to the desktop, it can compare the current time with the time period field to determine which time period the current time belongs to, and then decide which application icons need to be hidden or displayed based on the application category field. Furthermore, the automatic switching function of the time can be set so that the system can automatically switch the application icons displayed or hidden in different time periods.

[0098] The advantage of this technical solution is that by adding application category and time period fields and combining the automatic time switching function, it is possible to achieve flexible management of desktop icons, meet the user's usage needs in different time periods, and further enhance the effect of privacy protection. Compared with the prior art, the solution of this application not only improves the flexibility and convenience of desktop management, but also effectively reduces the interference of irrelevant information, making the mobile phone interface more concise and refreshing.

[0099] In a further embodiment, the method for hiding desktop icons of a mobile terminal described in the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0100] A user profile field is added to the hidden database in advance to store the desktop layout and visible application list of different users.

[0101] The core of this embodiment is that by adding a user profile field in the hidden database, personalized desktop layout and application icon display settings for different users can be implemented. Specifically, different users can customize the desktop layout and visible application list according to their own needs and preferences, thereby improving the flexibility of desktop management and user experience.

[0102] Specifically, adding user profile fields to the hidden database can be achieved in the following ways:

[0103] Each user profile field contains a user ID, desktop layout information, and a visible application list. The user ID is used to distinguish different users, the desktop layout information includes the location and arrangement of icons, and the visible application list records the application icons selected by the user.

[0104] The user can manually add or modify his / her own configuration files through the setting interface of the mobile terminal. The present invention saves these configuration files into a hidden database and loads the corresponding configuration files when the user switches.

[0105] Furthermore, the user's configuration files can be backed up to the cloud through the cloud synchronization function, so that the user's personalized settings can be quickly restored when the device is replaced or the system is reset.

[0106] This application realizes personalized desktop layout and application icon display settings for different users by adding a user profile field in a hidden database. Compared with the prior art, this solution not only improves the flexibility of desktop management, but also enhances the user experience. Users can customize the desktop layout and visible application list according to their needs and preferences, making the use of mobile terminals more convenient and personalized.

[0107] The present invention is further described in detail below through specific application examples:

[0108] like Figure 2 As shown, a method for hiding desktop icons of a mobile terminal described in this specific application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0109] Step S31, receiving the user's operation instruction, setting the application to be hidden through the hide application operation menu item, selecting, for example, the current clock icon to be hidden, and proceeding to step S32;

[0110] First, all the applications in the mobile phone are loaded, and then the user selects the hidden application, and sets the application to be hidden through the hide application operation menu item, such as selecting the current clock icon to hide.

[0111] Step S32: You will be prompted to set a privacy password for the first time. Please set the privacy password and continue; then proceed to step S33;

[0112] Step S33, save the settings as a database file, and then go to step S34;

[0113] Saves hidden icons to the hidden database.

[0114] Step S34, return to the desktop and proceed to step S35;

[0115] Step S35, load all icons on the desktop and proceed to step S36;

[0116] Step S36, compare the icon to be hidden with the icon on the desktop itself, and proceed to step S37;

[0117] Go back to the desktop and compare the hidden icon data set with the desktop icons;

[0118] Step S37: The desktop call that needs to be hidden is not displayed.

[0119] If there are icons on the desktop that need to be hidden, triggering icon deletion will hide the corresponding icons.

[0120] Of course, if the desktop is restarted and loaded, the hidden icon is loaded from the database, the icons on the desktop are traversed, and it is detected whether the current desktop has a hidden mark. If it is a hidden mark, the icon will not be displayed.

[0121] In this embodiment, when the user turns on the "hide icon" function, the system displays a list of all installed applications. The user selects the application to be hidden, such as "A letter" and "A Pay". The system stores the information of these two applications in the hidden icon database. After the user returns to the desktop, the system automatically checks and deletes the desktop icons of "A letter" and "A Pay" so that they are no longer displayed on the desktop.

[0122] Thus, the present invention has the following advantages: 1) It provides a simple and intuitive user operation interface, which is convenient for users to quickly select applications that need to be hidden. 2) By storing hidden information in a database, the persistence of the hidden state is ensured, and the hiding effect can be maintained even if the mobile phone is restarted. 3) It realizes the dynamic management of desktop icons and enhances the user's control over the desktop layout. 4) It effectively protects user privacy and prevents others from easily discovering sensitive applications.

[0123] Further, when an icon that has been set to be hidden is selected to be unhidden again, the following steps are performed:

[0124] The user chooses to unhide the current clock icon, enters the privacy password, and then stores the setting for unhiding the clock icon as a database file, and enters step S341 to save it as cache; then enters step S342 to reload the hidden APP, compare the icon to be hidden with the icon on the desktop itself, and enters S37 to display the icon that was previously hidden and is now unhidden.

[0125] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, when you need to view hidden icons, perform the following steps:

[0126] Step S41, detect a two-finger gesture on the desktop, and proceed to step S42;

[0127] When the embodiment of the present invention is specifically implemented, the operation gesture for opening the hidden icons on the desktop can be preset as a two-finger outward sliding gesture.

[0128] Step S42: Detect that the fingers of both hands slide outward, and proceed to step S43;

[0129] Step S43, start the hidden icon interface and proceed to step S44;

[0130] Step S44, load all icon information from the hidden database, and proceed to step S45;

[0131] Step S45: The interface displays hidden icons.
