These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this article, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determination". Furthermore, as used in this article, the singular forms "one", "one" and "the" are intended to also include plural forms, unless there is an opposite indication in the context.

When implementing the step, those skilled in the art may execute S302 first and then S301, etc., but these should all be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0048] In the subsequent description, the suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" used to represent elements are only used to facilitate the description of the present application, and have no specific meanings. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used in a mixed manner.

It provides users with wireless broadband Internet access. Figure 1 The WiFi module 102 is shown, but it is understandable that it is not a necessary component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without changing the essence of the present application.

[0055] The audio output unit 103 can convert the audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, etc. Moreover, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (for example, a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.).

The processed image frame can be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frame processed by the graphics processor 1041 can be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or sent via the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 can receive sound (audio data) via the microphone 1042 in a telephone call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, and the like, and can process such sound into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data can be converted into a format output that can be sent to a mobile communication base station via the radio frequency unit 101 in the case of a telephone call mode. The microphone 1042 can implement various types of noise elimination (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated in the process of receiving and sending audio signals.

[0057] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Optionally, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that identify the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can also be configured on the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be repeated here.

Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by users using fingers, styluses, or any other suitable objects or accessories on or near the touch panel 1071), and drive corresponding connection devices according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch orientation, detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 110, and can receive and execute commands sent by the processor 110. In addition, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented using at least two types, such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may also include other input devices 1072.

[0060] Optionally, the touch panel 1071 may cover the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. Then, the processor 110 provides corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 according to the type of touch event. Figure 1 In the figure, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are used as two independent components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal. However, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 can be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, which is not limited here.

[0062] The memory 109 can be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 109 can mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. Optionally, the program storage area can store an operating system, an application required for at least one function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area can store data created according to the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.), etc. In addition, the memory 109 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage devices.

[0063] The processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal. It uses various interfaces and lines to connect various parts of the entire mobile terminal. It executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data by running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 109, and calling data stored in the memory 109, so as to monitor the mobile terminal as a whole. The processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor mainly processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs, and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communications. It is understandable that the above-mentioned modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 110.

[0064] The mobile terminal 100 may further include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 111 may be logically connected to the processor 110 via a power management system, thereby implementing functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system.

[0065] although Figure 1 Not shown, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0066] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the communication network system on which the smart terminal of the present application is based is described below.

[0067] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a communication network system architecture diagram provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0069] E-UTRAN 202 includes eNodeB 2021 and other eNodeBs 2022 , etc. Optionally, eNodeB 2021 may be connected to other eNodeBs 2022 via a backhaul (eg, an X2 interface), and eNodeB 2021 is connected to EPC 203 , and eNodeB 2021 may provide UE 201 with access to EPC 203 .

Optionally, MME 2031 is a control node that processes signaling between UE 201 and EPC 203, and provides bearer and connection management. HSS 2032 is used to provide some registers to manage functions such as the home location register (not shown in the figure), and store some user-specific information such as service features and data rates. All user data can be sent through SGW2034. PGW2035 can provide IP address allocation and other functions for UE 201. PCRF2036 is the parameter and charging control parameter decision point for service data flow and IP bearer resources. It selects and provides available parameters and charging control decisions for the parameter and charging execution function unit (not shown in the figure).

[0071] The IP service 204 may include the Internet, an intranet, an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) or other IP services.

[0072] Although the above introduction takes the LTE system as an example, those skilled in the art should know that the present application is not only applicable to the LTE system, but also to other wireless communication systems, such as GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, 5G and future new network systems (such as 6G), etc., without limitation here.

[0073] Based on the above-mentioned mobile terminal hardware structure and communication network system, various embodiments of the present application are proposed.

[0074] In the prior art, the target window of the intelligent terminal usually displays a fixed application icon, which cannot dynamically adapt to the user's demand for quick access to the application.

[0075] In view of this, the present application provides a display method, in which the user sets at least one first application corresponding to each folding state of the smart terminal in advance, and when the smart terminal is in different folding states, the icon of at least one first application corresponding to the current folding state is displayed on the display screen of the smart terminal. The method of the present application displays at least one first application corresponding to the current folding state according to the folding state of the smart terminal, so that the user can quickly access the first application. The method of the present application dynamically adapts to the user's demand for quick access to applications.

[0076] It should be understood that the display method of the embodiment of the present application can be used in any smart terminal. The execution subject of the embodiment of the present application can be a processing unit of a smart terminal, or a smart terminal or system that implements the display method. The following is an example of a smart terminal that implements the display method.

[0077] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 The flowchart of a display method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. In some embodiments of the present application, the display method is applied to a smart terminal, and the smart terminal has multiple folding states. The method includes:

[0078] S301: Obtain a target folding state of the smart terminal.

[0079] A smart terminal is an electronic device that can adjust the display screen area through a folding mechanism. The folding design of the smart terminal may include, for example, clamshell folding, double folding, and triple folding.

[0080] The folding state is the state of the smart terminal in different folding modes, and the target folding state is the folding state that the smart terminal is currently in. For example, if the smart terminal is a clamshell folding design, the target folding state may be a clamshell folding state or a clamshell unfolding state; if the smart terminal is a three-folding design, the target folding state may be a single-screen state, a dual-screen state, or a triple-screen state.

[0081] Obtaining the target folding state of the smart terminal can be determined based on the hardware or software of the smart terminal. In one implementation, a sensor is configured on the display screen connection side of the smart terminal, and the sensor can detect the folding angle of the smart terminal on the connection side. In this method, the folding angle measured by the sensor configured on each connection side of the smart terminal is obtained, and the current folding mode of the smart terminal is determined according to the folding angle of each connection side, and the folding state of the smart terminal, that is, the target folding state, is further determined.

[0082] In one implementation, the smart terminal is equipped with magnetic switches, and in different folding modes, the state of each magnetic switch corresponds to on or off. In this mode, the current state of each magnetic switch can be obtained, and the folding state of the smart terminal, that is, the target folding state, can be determined according to the state of each magnetic switch.

[0083] One possible implementation method is that the resolution and lighting status of the display screen of the smart terminal are different in different folding modes. In this method, the resolution and / or lighting status of each display screen in the current state can be detected by software to further determine the folding state of the smart terminal, that is, the target folding state.

[0084] S302: Determine at least one first application corresponding to the target folding state according to the target folding state.

[0085] Displaying some or all of the icons of the first application on the display screen

[0086] In each folding state of the smart terminal, there is at least one corresponding first application. For example, it may be at least one corresponding application pre-set by the user in each folding state of the smart terminal, or it may be at least one application with a high access frequency among at least one application pre-set by the user in each folding state of the smart terminal, or it may be at least one application with a high access frequency obtained according to the access frequency of the application in each folding state of the smart terminal, or it may be a combination of at least one corresponding application pre-set by the user and at least one application with a high access frequency obtained according to the access frequency of the application.

[0087] In a possible implementation, the first application may be an application pre-set by the user. For example, multiple applications are selected in advance for the folded state of the smart terminal under the operation of the user, and the multiple applications are used as at least one first application corresponding to the folded state. In this way, at least one first application corresponding to each folded state meets the user's preference in the folded state, that is, at least one first application is an application that the user needs to quickly access in the folded state.

[0088] After the user sets at least one first application corresponding to each target folding state, the at least one first application corresponding to the target folding state may be determined according to the target folding state.

[0089] S303: Display some or all of the icons of the first application on the display screen.

[0090] Some or all of the icons of the first application are displayed on the display screen. Some or all of the icons of the first application can be displayed at any position on the display screen of the smart terminal. For example, some or all of the icons of the first application can be arranged in sequence on the right side or bottom side of the display screen of the smart terminal, and / or, some of the icons of some or all of the first application can be displayed on the left side of the display screen, and the other icons can be displayed on the right side of the display screen.

[0091] Figure 4 An example of an application icon display interface provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 .For example Figure 4 As shown, some or all of the icons of the first application can be displayed in the center of the lower side of the display screen. It should be understood that the above is only an example of an embodiment of displaying the icons of the first application, and some or all of the icons of the first application can also be displayed in any display mode and at any position on the display screen. This application does not limit the display mode and display position of the first application on the display screen.

[0092] Optionally, some or all of the icons of the first application are displayed on the display screen of the smart terminal, and the first application may be sorted, and some or all of the icons of the first application are displayed in sequence on the display screen of the smart terminal. For example, the first application may be sorted by the access time of the first application, from the most recent access time to the most distant access time, and some or all of the icons of the first application are displayed in sequence on the display screen of the smart terminal.

[0093] The display method of the embodiment of the present application obtains the target folding state of the smart terminal, determines at least one first application corresponding to the target folding state according to the target folding state, and further displays some or all of the icons of the first application on the display screen. The method of the present application displays at least one first application corresponding to the current folding state according to the folding state of the smart terminal, so that the user can quickly access the first application. The method of the present application dynamically adapts to the user's demand for quick access to applications.

[0094] The following describes how to display part or all of the icons of the first application on a display screen in the display method of an embodiment of the present application.

[0095] A display method that can be implemented is to display some or all of the icons of the first application on the display screen. According to the number of first applications and the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window, it can be determined whether some or all of the icons of the first application are displayed on the display screen of the smart terminal.

[0096] The target window is a window designed on the display screen of the smart terminal for displaying an application. The window may be, for example, a sidebar, a floating window, or an edge display screen. The user may directly access the application by, for example, clicking on the icon of the application in the target window, thereby avoiding the need for the user to perform complex operations such as searching and / or finding to locate the icon of the application when accessing the application, and then accessing the application by, for example, clicking on the located icon of the application, thereby improving the efficiency of the user's access to the application.

[0097] The number of icons that can be displayed in the target window is the number of application icons that can be displayed in the target window, which is usually determined according to the size of the target window and / or the number of icons that can be displayed parameter set in the target window. When the smart terminal is in different folding states, the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window can be the same or different.

[0098] In this display mode, if the number of first applications does not exceed the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window, all icons of the first applications are displayed in the target window. And / or if the number of first applications exceeds the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window, some icons of the first applications are displayed in the target window.

[0099] If the number of first applications does not exceed the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window, icons representing all first applications can be displayed in the target window. For example, if the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window is n, if the number of first applications is less than or equal to n, icons representing all first applications can be displayed in the target window.

[0100] If the number of first applications exceeds the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window, it indicates that the target window cannot display all the icons of the first applications. For example, if the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window is n, and the number of first applications is greater than n, icons of the first applications less than or equal to n can be selected from all the icons of the first applications and displayed in the target window.

[0101] Optionally, when the smart terminal is in different folding states, the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window can be different. In this way, according to the folding state of the smart terminal, the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window in the current folding state is obtained, and further, if the number of first applications does not exceed the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window, all icons of the first applications are displayed in the target window, and if the number of first applications exceeds the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window of the display screen, some icons of the first applications are displayed in the target window.

[0102] Taking a three-fold smart terminal as an example, if the number of first applications is 8, the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window in the single-screen state of the three-fold is 4, the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window in the dual-screen state is 8, and the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window in the triple-screen state is 10. Then, when the smart terminal is in the dual-screen or triple-screen state, the number of first applications does not exceed the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window of the display screen, and all the icons of the first applications are displayed in the target window. When the smart terminal is in the single-screen state, the number of first applications exceeds the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window of the display screen, and some of the icons of the first applications are displayed in the target window.

[0103] Figure 5 An example of an application icon display interface provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 . Figure 6 An example of an application icon display interface provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 3 . Figure 7 An example of an application icon display interface provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 4 .like Figure 5 As shown, when the smart terminal is in a three-screen state, eight icons of the first application are displayed in the target window. Figure 6 As shown, when the smart terminal is in a dual-screen state, the icons of the eight first applications are displayed in the target window. Figure 7 As shown, when the smart terminal is in a dual-screen state, four icons of the first application are displayed in the target window.

[0104] Optionally, if the number of first application programs exceeds the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window, in response to a first operation on the target window, the first application programs that are not displayed are displayed in the target window.

[0105] The first operation is an instruction to instruct the application icon in the target window to move, which is triggered based on the user's operation on the smart terminal.

[0106] Reference Figure 7 In the interface shown, if the icon of the first application displayed in the target window is the icon of the first four first applications, in response to the first operation on the target window, the undisplayed first application is displayed in the target window, then the icon of the first application displayed in the target window is the icon of the last four first applications.

[0107] The display method of the embodiment of the present application displays all or part of the icons of the first application in the target window according to the number of the first application and the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window. The user can directly access the application by, for example, clicking the application icon in the target window, avoiding the need to first perform complex operations such as searching and / or finding to locate the application icon, and then performing operations such as clicking the located application icon to access the application, thereby improving the efficiency of user access to the application.

[0108] In the display method of the present application in the above example, at least one first application corresponding to the target folding state is determined according to the target folding state. This may be when the quick access mode of the smart terminal is configured as a user-defined mode. That is, if the quick access mode of the smart terminal is configured as a user-defined mode, at least one first application corresponding to the target folding state is determined according to the target folding state.

[0109] The user-defined mode determines at least one first application corresponding to the target folding state according to the first application preset by the user.

[0110] In this manner, before determining the target folding state of the smart terminal, the user can pre-set the first application. Specifically, the following steps are performed:

[0111] (1) In response to a second operation on a target folded state, displaying an icon of at least one candidate application on a display screen.

[0112] The second operation is an instruction to set a corresponding first application program for a target folding state.

[0113] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a quick access setting interface provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 .For example, Figure 8 As shown, the interface provides quick access settings for the folding states of single screen, dual screen and triple screen. The user can trigger the second operation of the target folding state through interactive operations such as clicking, and set the first application corresponding to the target folding state.

[0114] Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of a quick access setting interface provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 . refer to Figure 8 In the interface shown, the user can trigger the second operation of the single-screen state by clicking the area where the "quick access to the single-screen state" is located in the interface, taking the second operation for the single-screen state as an example, for example Fig. 9 As shown, at least one icon of candidate applications is displayed on the display screen for the user to select. The user can select some applications through interactive operations, such as Fig. 9 Shown is the interface with 4 applications selected.

[0115] Optionally, the candidate applications may be applications supported in the target folded state. For example, if any application supports use in a dual-screen or triple-screen state but does not support use in a single-screen state, then in response to a second operation for the single-screen state, the icon of at least one candidate application displayed does not include the icon of that application.

[0116] (2) The selected candidate application is determined as the first application.

[0117] Fig.10 A schematic diagram of a quick access setting interface provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 3 . Reference Fig. 9 As shown, the selected application is determined to be the first application corresponding to the single-screen state, for example Fig.10 As shown, the first application in the single-screen state has been set.

[0118] Optionally, after the selected candidate application is determined as the first application, the user may also pre-set the display order of the first application, specifically, determine or generate the display order of the first application in response to the third operation on the first application.

[0119] Reference Fig.10 In the interface shown, after the selected candidate application is determined as the first application in the single-screen state, the first application can be sorted based on the user's interactive operation. For example, the position of the icon of the first application can be moved by long pressing and dragging to adjust the display order of the first application in the current interface. The adjusted display order will be determined as the display order of the first application. Alternatively, the first application can be sorted based on interactive operations such as selecting a sorting method to generate a display order for the first application. For example, the first application can be sorted by name and the display order of the first application can be generated according to the sorting result.

[0120] In this manner, when some or all of the icons of the first application are displayed on the display screen, some or all of the icons of the first application may be displayed on the display screen in the order in which the first application is displayed. For example, when some of the icons of the first application are selected to be displayed on the display screen of the smart terminal, the icons of the first application that are in front may be selected in order to be displayed.

[0121] It should be understood that the interface diagram of the above example is an interface that can be used to implement the user's pre-setting of the first application, and can also be implemented through any interface design, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0122] The above is an explanation of an embodiment in which the quick access mode of the smart terminal is configured as a user-defined mode. Optionally, the quick access mode of the smart terminal may also be configured as an access frequency mode or a recent access mode.

[0123] Fig.11 This is a schematic diagram of an interface for setting a quick access mode provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.11 As shown, the user can select user-defined mode, access frequency mode or recent access mode.

[0124] Optionally, one possible implementation method is that if the quick access mode of the smart terminal is configured as the access frequency mode, the applications in the smart terminal in the target folded state are sorted from high to low according to the access frequency, and at least one second application ranked first is displayed in the target window.

[0125] In this manner, for example, after obtaining the target folding state of the smart terminal, the applications in the smart terminal in the target folding state are sorted from high to low according to the access frequency, and the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window in the target folding state is further determined. According to the order of the sorted applications, multiple applications in front are selected in order, that is, the second applications, and the number of the selected second applications is equal to the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window in the target folding state. The second application is displayed in the target window.

[0126] Optionally, one implementation method is that if the quick access mode of the smart terminal is configured as the recent access mode, at least one third application with a higher recent access time is displayed in the target window according to the order of the recent access time of each application in the smart terminal from recent to distant.

[0127] In this manner, for example, after obtaining the target folding state of the smart terminal, the applications in the smart terminal in the target folding state are sorted from recent to distant according to the most recent access time, and the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window in the target folding state is further determined. According to the order of the sorted applications, multiple applications in front are selected in order, that is, the third application, and the number of the selected third applications is equal to the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window in the target folding state. The third application is displayed in the target window.

[0128] It should be understood that the quick access mode of the above-mentioned smart terminal can also be configured as other modes, for example, it can be set to a default mode, in which case multiple applications set by default are displayed in the target window, and / or it can also be set to a combination mode, in which case part of the first application set in the user-defined mode and part of the second application ranked first in the access frequency mode can be displayed in the target window. The present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0129] By configuring the quick access mode of the smart terminal to different modes, icons of applications in different sorts can be displayed on the display screen of the smart terminal according to user needs, so that the icons of the displayed applications are more in line with the user's setting preferences and dynamically adapt to the user's needs for quick access to applications.

[0130] The display method proposed in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a smart terminal, and the smart terminal has multiple folding states. By acquiring the target folding state of the smart terminal, at least one first application corresponding to the target folding state is determined according to the target folding state, wherein the first application is pre-set by the user. The icons of some or all of the first applications are further displayed on the display screen of the smart terminal. The method of the present application displays at least one first application corresponding to the current folding state according to the folding state of the smart terminal, so that the user can quickly access the first application. The method of the present application dynamically adapts to the user's demand for quick access to applications.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present application, a display device for application icons is also provided. Fig.12 , Fig.12 Schematic diagram of a module of a display device for application icons provided in an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments of the present application, the display device 1200 for application icons includes: a first determination module 1201, a second determination module 1202 and a display module 1203. Optionally, it may also include: a setting module and / or a sorting module.

[0132] A first determining module 1201 is used to obtain a target folding state of the smart terminal;

[0133] A second determining module 1202, configured to determine at least one first application corresponding to the target folding state according to the target folding state;

[0134] The display module 1203 is used to display part or all of the icons of the first application on the display screen.

[0135] As described above, the display device of application icons provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a smart terminal. According to the folding state of the smart terminal, at least one first application corresponding to the current folding state is displayed for the user to quickly access the first application. The method of the present application dynamically adapts to the user's demand for quick access to applications.

[0136] In one possible implementation, the display module 1203 is specifically used to display the icons of all the first applications in the target window if the number of first applications does not exceed the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window; and / or display the icons of some of the first applications in the target window if the number of first applications exceeds the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window.

[0137] In a possible implementation, the display module 1203 is further configured to display the first application that is not displayed in the target window in response to a first operation on the target window if the number of the first application exceeds the number of icons that can be displayed in the target window.

[0138] In a possible implementation, before acquiring the target folding state of the smart terminal, the setting module is used to display an icon of at least one candidate application on the display screen in response to a second operation on the target folding state; and the selected candidate application is determined as the first application.

[0139] In this manner, after the selected candidate application is determined as the first application, the setting module is further used to determine or generate a display order of the first application in response to a third operation on the first application.

[0140] Accordingly, the display module 1203 is specifically configured to display part or all of the icons of the first application on the display screen according to the display order of the first application.

[0141] In a possible implementation, the second determining module 1202 is specifically configured to determine at least one first application corresponding to the target folding state according to the target folding state if the quick access mode of the smart terminal is configured as the user-defined mode.

[0142] In one possible implementation, the sorting module is specifically used to sort the applications in the smart terminal in the target folded state from high to low according to access frequency if the quick access mode of the smart terminal is configured as the access frequency mode, and display at least one second application ranked first in the target window.

[0143] In one possible implementation, the sorting module is specifically used to display at least one third application with a higher recent access time in the target window according to the order of the recent access time of each application in the smart terminal from recent to far if the quick access mode of the smart terminal is configured as the recent access mode.
