Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technologies, and in particular, to a method for displaying shortcuts and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of terminal technologies, electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, etc. have become essential devices for people's daily life and work. To meet the diverse needs of users, there are more and more functions in electronic devices. When users operate an electronic device, they need to search for the function they currently need among numerous functions, and the operation is cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Embodiments of this application provide a method for displaying shortcuts and an electronic device, so as to improve the convenience of users operating an electronic device.

[0004] In a first aspect, a method for displaying shortcuts is provided. This method can be applied to an electronic device. The electronic device can be, for example, a PC. For example, the electronic device receives a first operation; displays a first interface, where the first interface includes N regions, N is a positive integer, the N regions correspond to N applications, at least one shortcut of a first application is included in a first region among the N regions, the first region is any one of the N regions, the first application is the application corresponding to the first region among the N applications, and the at least one shortcut is used to open at least one function or interface of the first application; where the shortcuts in the first region are independent of the shortcuts in other regions, and the other regions are the regions among the N regions except the first region.

[0005] In the embodiments of this application, the shortcuts of different applications are displayed in different regions. For example, the shortcuts of application A are displayed in region A, and the shortcuts of application B are displayed in region B. The shortcuts in region A and the shortcuts in region B are independent of each other. In this way, when a user wants to open a certain function or interface of application A, they can search for the corresponding shortcut in region A without traversing region B. When a user wants to open a certain function or interface of application B, they can search for the corresponding shortcut in region B without traversing region A. Therefore, in this way, when searching for shortcuts, the traversal range is reduced and the efficiency is improved.

Suppose a user wants to open a certain function or interface of Application A.

In addition, it should be understood that in the description of this specification, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used for the purpose of distinguishing descriptions, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, nor can they be understood as indicating or implying order. For example, the first region and the second region do not represent the importance degree of the two or the order of the two, but are only for distinguishing descriptions. In the embodiments of the present application, "and / or" only describes the association relationship and indicates that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0090] The orientation terms mentioned in the embodiments of the present application, such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", etc., are only references to the directions in the drawings. Therefore, the orientation terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present application, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation to the embodiments of the present application.

[0091] References to "one embodiment", "in some examples", or "some embodiments" described in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the specification. Thus, statements such as "in some examples", "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in other some embodiments", "in still other embodiments", etc., that appear in different places in this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising", "including", "having", and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

The electronic device in the embodiments of the present invention may include more or fewer components than Figure 1 those. In addition, Figure 1 the combination / connection relationship between the components in

[0133] Here, taking a PC as an example, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0134] PCs have gradually become essential devices for most users to study, entertain, and work. To meet the diverse needs of users, there are more and more applications in PCs. In the case of a large number of applications, in order to keep the interface clean and tidy while facilitating user operation, a dock bar can be set on the PC. For example, please refer to Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of a PC interface provided in the embodiments of the present application. This interface can also be referred to as the main interface or desktop of the PC, etc. As Figure 2 shown, a dock bar 200 is displayed on the PC. The dock bar 200 can be located at any position in the PC main interface. Optionally, for the convenience of user operation, Figure 2 in Figure 2 , the dock bar 200 is taken as an example of being located at the lower center position. Continuing to refer to Figure 2 , the dock bar 200 can include icons of one or more applications. It can be understood that since there are a large number of applications in the PC and the display area of the dock bar 200 is limited, the dock bar 200 can include icons of some applications in the PC. The said some applications can be default applications or applications specified by the user, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Therefore,

[0135] As described above, the dock bar 200 may include icons of some applications within the PC. Therefore, in a possible scenario, the user needs to open a certain application, but the icon of this application is not in the dock bar 200. For such a case, in the embodiments of the present application, when the PC receives a specific operation, it can display the icons of all applications in the PC to facilitate the user to find the application currently needed, including applications whose icons are not in the dock bar 200.

[0136] In some examples, an entry may be provided on the PC, and the specific operation may be an operation on the entry. Exemplarily, the entry may be an icon. For example, Figure 2 the icon 201 in. In other words, when the PC receives an operation on the icon 201, it can display the icons of all applications in the PC. It should be noted that, Figure 2 taking the icon 201 being located in the dock bar 200 as an example, optionally, the icon 201 can also be located in other positions, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Optionally, the icon 201 can have various names such as "Launchpad", "Multiple Applications", etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Of course, the specific operation can also be other types of operations, such as operations on the combination keys on the keyboard, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0137] For example, Figure 2 in, when the PC receives an operation on the icon 201, it can display an interface 300 as shown in Figure 3 . Optionally, the interface 300 may include the icons of all applications or some applications in the PC. It can be understood that if the number of applications is small, the interface 300 may include the icons of all applications. If the number of applications is large, including the icons of all applications in the interface 300 will result in the icons being too small and too dense, which is not convenient for the user to find. Therefore, when the number of applications is large, the PC can display the icons of all applications in pages. For example, Figure 3 in, there are two circles 301 shown in the interface 300, and these two circles represent two pages of content, that is, the icons of all applications in the PC are shown through two pages of interfaces. Therefore, the user can open any application in the PC.

[0138] Taking the scenario where the user uses the above PC (for example, Figure 3 the PC) for work as an example. One day when the user uses the PC for work, multiple interfaces or functions are opened on the PC, such as multiple interfaces of the browser application. After the work of this day is over, the user may shut down the PC. The next day when the user turns on the PC, the PC displays Figure 2 the shown interface. Since the user needs to continue the work tasks of the previous day, the user needs to open the interfaces or functions opened on the previous day on the PC. Therefore, the user can Figure 2Click on icon 201 within the shown interface to open interface 300. The user can find the icon of the application to be opened among the numerous application icons in interface 300 and then open the application. After opening the application, the user also needs to find the interface that was opened the previous day among the numerous interfaces of the application. Obviously, this process is time-consuming and has poor convenience.

[0139] In order to be able to quickly open the historically accessed interfaces or functions, in the embodiments of the present application, the PC can display shortcuts of the historically accessed interfaces or functions. For example, when the PC receives an operation on icon 201, it displays an interface 400 as shown in Figure 4 Shown. Comparing Figure 3 And Figure 4 It can be seen that compared with interface 300, a display area is vacated in interface 400 as a shortcut display area.

[0140] As Figure 4 Shown, interface 400 includes a first area and a second area. The first area is used to display application icons. The second area is the shortcut display area. It should be understood that since the display area of the first area is limited, only icons of some applications in the PC can be displayed in the first area. Of course, the user can view icons of all applications. For example, the first area includes more buttons. Through the more buttons, the user can view icons of all applications in the PC. Optionally, the "more" button can also have other names, such as the "show all" button, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0141] The second area is used to display shortcuts of the historically accessed functions or interfaces. It should be understood that there can be multiple historically accessed functions or interfaces, and there are multiple corresponding shortcuts. In some examples, multiple shortcuts in the second area can be displayed item by item in the historical access order of the corresponding functions or interfaces. For example, please refer to Figure 5 (a). There are 6 shortcuts in the second area of interface 500. The historical access order of the functions or interfaces corresponding to the 6 shortcuts is: Document Q -> Document Z -> Document Y -> Work Note X -> Document X -> Huawei Official Website. In other words, Document Q was accessed earliest, for example, it may have been accessed a long time ago; Huawei Official Website was accessed last, for example, just now. In the embodiments of the present application, the display order of the 6 shortcuts can be the reverse order of the above historical access order. The reverse order of the above historical access order is: Huawei Official Website -> Document X -> Work Note X -> Document Y -> Document Z -> Document Q. Therefore, the display order of the 6 shortcuts is: Shortcut of Huawei Official Website -> Shortcut of Document X -> Shortcut of Work Note X -> Shortcut of Document Y -> Shortcut of Document Z -> Shortcut of Document Q. In some examples, when the PC displays the 6 shortcuts in the above display order, it can display them from left to right in sequence. For example, as Figure 5(a), the PC sequentially displays the shortcut of the Huawei official website and the shortcut of Document X from left to right within the second area. Since the width of the interface 500 is limited, after displaying two shortcuts, the width of the interface 500 is not enough to display another shortcut. Therefore, the PC can start a new line and sequentially display other shortcuts from left to right again, and so on, finally presenting the Figure 5 (a) the display effect of each shortcut within the second area. Optionally, the time information corresponding to each shortcut can also be displayed within the second area. The time information corresponding to each shortcut can include: the historical access time of the function or interface corresponding to the shortcut, or the time difference between the historical access time and the current time. Continuing with Figure 5 (a) as an example, the time information of the shortcut of the Huawei official website within the second area is 10 seconds ago, and the time information of the shortcut of Document X is 30 minutes ago. The principle of other shortcuts is the same and will not be repeated here.

[0142] It should be noted that Figure 5 (a), since the display area of the second area is limited, only some shortcuts can be displayed within the second area, and the user can also view all shortcuts. For example, there are more buttons within the second area. When the PC receives an operation on the more button, it can display an interface 510 such as Figure 5 (b). The interface 510 can include more shortcuts. Optionally, each shortcut within the interface 510 can be displayed item by item according to the historical access order of the corresponding function or interface, and the specific principle is the same as that described above. It should be understood that if the number of shortcuts is large and the interface 510 cannot display all shortcuts, pagination can also be used. For example, Figure 5 (b), there are two circles displayed within the interface 510, and these two circles represent two pages of content, that is, all shortcuts are displayed through two pages of the interface. In some examples, Figure 5 (b) after the PC displays the interface 510, it can return to Figure 5 (a) the interface 500. For example, Figure 5 (b) when the PC receives an operation on the more button, it returns to Figure 5 (a) the interface 500. It should be noted that since only some shortcuts can be displayed within the second area of the interface 500, when the PC returns to the interface 500, the first 6 shortcuts within the interface 510 can be displayed within the second area of the interface 500. Of course, the last 6 shortcuts within the interface 510 or randomly selected 6 shortcuts can also be displayed within the second area of the interface 500, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0143] Continue to refer to Figure 5, different shortcuts belonging to the same application in interface 500 or interface 510 are scattered and displayed at different positions. For example, multiple shortcuts such as the shortcut of document X, the shortcut of document Y, the shortcut of document Z, the shortcut of document Q, the shortcut of document P, etc. in interface 510 correspond to the same application but are scattered at different positions in interface 510. Suppose the user wants to open document R, then all the shortcuts in interface 510 need to be traversed to find the shortcut of document R. Obviously, this method is still not convenient enough.

[0144] To improve the traversal efficiency, in the embodiments of the present application, the PC can display multiple shortcuts classified. For example, classify and display according to the application to which the shortcut belongs. For example, shortcuts belonging to the same application are displayed within the same area, and shortcuts of different applications are displayed in different areas.

[0145] For example, when the PC receives an operation on icon 201, interface 600 as shown in Figure 6 is displayed. Interface 600 includes a first area and a second area. The principle of the first area is the same as that of the first area in the foregoing Figure 4 or Figure 5 , and will not be repeated here. The second area is used to display shortcuts. As shown in Figure 6 , the second area includes multiple cards, for example, card 1, card 2, and card 3. Among them, a card can be understood as a display area. Different cards are different display areas. In other words, the three cards of card 1, card 2, and card 3 correspond to three different display areas. Optionally, for the convenience of distinction, information can be filled in the card, for example, at least one of color, transparency, and shadow can be filled. Optionally, the information filled in different cards can be the same or different. In the embodiments of the present application, shortcuts belonging to the same application are displayed within the same card. For example, the shortcut of application a is displayed in card 1. The shortcut of application b is displayed in card 2. The shortcut of application c is displayed in card 3. Figure 6 The display method of the shortcuts shown in Figure 6 can narrow the traversal range. For example, as shown in

[0146] If the user needs to open document X of application a, only the shortcut of document X needs to be found in card 1, without having to traverse all the shortcuts, which greatly narrows the traversal range and improves the efficiency.

[0146] It should be noted that Figure 6 in Figure 7, the interface 700 may include a first area and a second area. Shortcuts are displayed in the first area. Application icons are displayed in the second area. It should be noted that, generally, when a user opens an interface, the user will first focus on the upper area of the interface. Therefore, Figure 7 if shortcuts are displayed in the upper area of the interface 700, the user can pay attention to the shortcuts more quickly, and then quickly open the corresponding function or interface, improving efficiency.

[0147] The following mainly takes Figure 7 the interface 700 shown as an example for description.

[0148] For example, Figure 7 , one or more cards are displayed in the first area. Each card corresponds to an application. For example, card 1 corresponds to application a, which includes at least one shortcut of application a. Card 2 corresponds to application b, which includes at least one shortcut of application b. Card 3 corresponds to application c, which includes at least one shortcut of application c. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the PC recommends some applications (for example, application a, application b, and application c) to the user through the cards in the first area of the interface 700, and also recommends shortcuts of some functions or interfaces in these applications to the user to facilitate the user to quickly open them. It can be understood that before the PC displays Figure 7 the interface 700, it can first determine which applications need to be recommended, and determine which functions or interfaces in these applications need to be recommended, and then classify and display the shortcuts of these functions or interfaces to be recommended in the form of cards.

[0149] Optionally, the PC can determine the applications to be recommended (hereinafter referred to as recommended applications) through at least one of the following methods.

[0150] Method 1: The PC determines the applications to be recommended according to the user usage of each application in the PC.

[0151] In some examples, the recommended applications may include the applications that the user has recently used in the PC. For example, "the applications that the user has recently used" may include: the applications used within a preset duration before the current moment. The preset duration can be several hours, several days, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit it. For another example, the PC can count the usage time of each application, sort the applications according to the usage time, and determine the top several applications based on this sorting as the recommended applications.

[0152] In some other examples, the recommended applications may include the applications that the user often uses on the PC. For example, the "frequently used applications" may include the applications whose usage frequency is greater than a preset frequency within a preset time period. For example, the PC can count the number of times each application is used within the preset time period. The preset time period can be one day, one week, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the PC can obtain the usage frequency of each application, that is, the ratio of the number of times used within the preset time period to the preset time period. The PC can determine the applications with a usage frequency greater than the preset frequency as the recommended applications. The specific value of the preset frequency is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0153] Method 2: The PC determines the applications to be recommended according to the current scenario.

[0154] In some examples, the PC can determine the recommended applications according to the current time. Taking the current time being 10 pm as an example, the recommended applications can meet at least one of the following:

[0155] (1) The recommended applications may include the applications that the user has used at 10 pm in history.

[0156] (2) The recommended applications may include the applications that the user often uses at 10 pm in history. For example, the PC can count the number of times each application is used during the period from 10 pm to 11 pm every day. When the PC determines that the current time is 10 pm, it determines the applications whose number of times used during the period from 10 pm to 11 pm in history is greater than the preset number of times according to the statistical results. For example, if the user often uses game applications from 10 pm to 11 pm, then when the PC determines that the current time is 10 pm, it can determine that the applications to be recommended include game applications.

[0157] (3) The recommended applications may include the applications that the user has set or the system has default-set to be used at 10 pm. For example, in order to urge himself / herself to study, the user has set that a certain course teaching application needs to be used from 10 pm to 11 pm. In this case, when the PC detects that the current time is 10 pm, it can determine that the applications to be recommended include the course teaching application.

[0158] (4) The recommended applications may include the applications that are common at 10 pm. Among them, the "applications that are common at 10 pm" can be understood as the applications that most users will use at 10 pm. For example, late-night radio applications, light music applications, etc. Therefore, when the PC detects that the current time is 10 pm, it can determine that the applications to be recommended include common applications such as late-night radio applications and light music applications.

[0159] In some other examples, the PC can determine the recommended applications according to the current geographical location. Exemplarily, the recommended applications can meet at least one of the following:

[0160] (1) The recommended applications may include the applications that the user has used at the current geographical location historically.

[0161] (2) The recommended applications may include the applications that the user has frequently used at the current geographical location historically. For example, the PC can record the usage times of each application at each geographical location. When it is detected that the current location is a certain geographical location, the applications with usage times greater than the preset times at this geographical location are determined according to the statistical results. For example, when the user is at home, the user often uses shopping applications and screen mirroring applications. Then when the PC determines that the user is currently at home, it can determine that the recommended applications include shopping applications and screen mirroring applications.

[0162] (3) The recommended applications may include the applications that the user has set or the system has set by default to be used at the current geographical location. For example, if the user customizes or the system defaults to use the screen mirroring application at home, then when the PC detects that the user is at home, it can determine that the recommended applications include the screen mirroring application.

[0163] (4) The recommended applications may include the applications that are common at the current geographical location. Among them, "the applications that are common at a certain geographical location" can be understood as the applications that most users will use at this geographical location. For example, when the PC determines that it is currently at a subway station, it determines that the recommended applications include access applications (such as bus cards, subway cards), etc., which are the applications that most users need to use at the subway station. For another example, when the PC determines that it is currently at a shopping mall, it determines that the recommended applications include payment applications (such as Huawei Wallet), etc., which are the applications that most users need to use at the shopping mall.

[0164] Method 3: The PC determines the recommended applications according to the currently running applications.

[0165] Optionally, the currently running applications may include the applications running in the foreground and / or background.

[0166] In some examples, the recommended applications may include the applications related to the type of the currently running applications. For example, the currently running application is a certain short video application. For example, the recommended applications may include other short video applications. For example, etc., and may also include applications related to short video applications such as video editing and copywriting editing. For another example, the currently running application is an image shooting application, such as the system camera. The recommended applications may include other image shooting applications, such as third-party cameras, and may also include applications related to image shooting applications such as the gallery application and the photo editing application. For another example, the currently running application is a certain video playback application, such as Huawei Video. The recommended applications may include other video playback applications. For example, It may also include applications related to video playback applications, such as applications for enhancing audio-visual effects, AI subtitle translation applications, etc. For another example, if the currently running application is a certain audio playback application, such as Huawei Music, the recommended applications may include other audio playback applications, such as It may also include applications related to audio playback applications, such as song recognition applications. For another example, if the currently running application is a certain e-reading application, such as the Qimao Reading application, the recommended applications include other e-reading applications, such as It may also include applications related to e-reading applications, such as dictionary applications and note applications.

[0167] In some other examples, the recommended applications may include applications that have been switched to more than a preset number of times with the currently running application. It should be understood that during the process of using a PC, a user may switch from one application to another. The PC can record the number of switches between two applications within a preset duration. The preset duration can be one day, one week, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of this application. The PC can determine the applications that have been switched to more than the preset number of times with the currently running application as the recommended applications.

[0168] Method Four: The PC determines the applications to be recommended based on the current display interface.

[0169] Optionally, the current display interface may include the previous display interface of the PC before the display interface 700. The current display interface can be the desktop or the interface of a certain application, which is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0170] In some examples, the recommended applications may include applications related to the content in the current display interface. For example, when the current display interface includes an image, the recommended applications may include photo editing applications. For another example, when the current display interface includes English, the recommended applications may include dictionary applications. For example, when the current display interface is the desktop, the recommended applications include the default applications or user-set applications, or applications determined by other methods (such as any one or more of the previous Method One to Method Three and Method Five).

[0171] Method Five: The PC determines the applications to be recommended according to the system default settings or user settings.

[0172] In some examples, the recommended applications may be fixed applications, such as applications set by the system default or user settings. Optionally, the method of user settings is not described in detail in the embodiments of this application. For example, it can be set in the settings application, or set elsewhere.

[0173] The above are five ways for the PC to determine the recommended applications. The PC can use any one of the above five ways, or any two or more of the above five ways can be used in combination. The embodiments of this application do not make any limitations.

[0174] Therefore, through the above methods, the PC can determine the applications that need to be recommended. Assuming there are N applications that need to be recommended, where N is a positive integer, the PC can also determine the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in each of the N applications. Taking application a among the N applications as an example, the PC can determine the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in application a through at least one of the following methods.

[0175] Method 1: The PC determines the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in application a according to the user's usage of each function or interface in application a.

[0176] In some examples, the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in application a may include: the interfaces or functions that the user has recently used in application a. For example, "the interfaces or functions that have been recently used in application a" may include: the interfaces or functions that have been used within a preset duration before the current moment in application a. The preset duration can be several hours, several days, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not make any limitations. For another example, the PC can count the usage time of each function or interface in application a, sort each function or interface according to the usage time, and determine the functions or interfaces ranked among the top several based on this sorting as the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended.

[0177] In some other examples, the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in application a may include: the interfaces or functions that the user often uses in application a. Optionally, "the interfaces or functions that are often used in application a" may include the interfaces or functions whose usage frequency is greater than a preset frequency within a preset duration in application a. For example, the PC can count the usage times of each interface or function in application a within a preset duration. The preset duration can be one day, one week, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not make any limitations. Therefore, the PC can obtain the usage frequency of each interface or function in application a, that is, the ratio of the usage times within the preset duration to the preset duration. The PC can determine the interfaces or functions in application a whose usage frequency is greater than the preset frequency as the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in application a. The specific value of the preset frequency is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0178] Method 2: The PC determines the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in application a according to the current scenario.

[0179] In some examples, the PC can determine the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in application a according to the current time. Taking the current time as 10 p.m. as an example, the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in application a can meet at least one of the following:

[0180] (1) The functions or interfaces used in Application A at 10 PM at night.

[0181] (2) The functions or interfaces that users often use in Application A at 10 PM at night. For example, the PC can count the usage times of each function or interface in Application A during the period from 10 PM to 11 PM every day. When the PC determines that the current time is 10 PM, it determines the functions or interfaces in Application A with usage times greater than the preset number during the period from 10 PM to 11 PM according to the statistical results. For example, if users often use the function of communicating with Contact A in Application A at 10 PM, when the PC determines that the current time is 10 PM, it can determine that the communication function with Contact A in Application A is the function to be recommended.

[0182] (3) The functions or interfaces that need to be used in Application A at 10 PM at night set by the user or default set by the system. For example, the user sets that a certain applet in Application A needs to be used from 10 PM to 11 PM. In this case, when the PC detects that the current time is 10 PM, it can determine that the functions to be recommended in Application A include the applet.

[0183] (4) The functions or interfaces that are common in Application A at 10 PM at night. Among them, "the functions or interfaces that are common in Application A at a certain time" can be understood as the functions or interfaces that most users will use in Application A at this time. For example, at 10 PM at night, most users will use the game function in Application A. When the PC detects that the current time is 10 PM, it determines that the game function in Application A is the function to be recommended.

[0184] In some other examples, the PC can determine the functions or interfaces to be recommended in Application A according to the current geographical location. Exemplarily, the functions or interfaces to be recommended in Application A can include at least one of the following:

[0185] (1) The functions or interfaces used in Application A at the current geographical location.

[0186] (2) The functions or interfaces that users often use in Application A at the current geographical location. For example, the PC can record the usage times of each function or interface in Application A at each geographical location. When it detects that it is currently at a certain geographical location, it determines the functions or interfaces in Application A with usage times greater than the preset number at this geographical location according to the statistical results. For example, if users use the code scanning payment function in Application A every time they enter the mall, when the PC determines that the current geographical location is the mall, it determines that the code scanning payment function in Application A is the function to be recommended.

[0187] (3) The functions or interfaces that need to be used at the current geographical location set by the user in Application A or set by the system by default. For example, if the user sets that the live broadcast function in Application A needs to be used at home, when the PC detects that the current geographical location is home, it determines that the function to be recommended in Application A is the live broadcast function.

[0188] (4) Shortcuts to the functions or interfaces that are common at the current geographical location in Application A. "The functions or interfaces that are common at a certain geographical location in Application A" can be understood as the functions or interfaces that most users of Application A will use at that geographical location. For example, at the subway station, most users will use the travel code function in Application A to swipe their cards to enter and exit the subway. Therefore, when the PC determines that it is currently at the subway station, it determines that the travel code function in Application A is the function to be recommended.

[0189] Method 3: The PC determines the functions or interfaces to be recommended in Application A based on the currently running application.

[0190] Optionally, the currently running application may include foreground and / or background running applications.

[0191] In some examples, the functions or interfaces to be recommended in Application A may include: functions or interfaces in Application A related to the type of the currently running application. For example, if the currently running application is a video playback application, such as Huawei Video, etc., the PC may determine that functions related to video playback applications in Application A, such as video effect enhancement function, sound effect enhancement function, AI subtitles, etc., are the functions to be recommended. For another example, if the currently running application is a reading application (such as an e-book APP), the PC may determine that functions related to reading applications in Application A, such as translation function, note function, etc., are the functions to be recommended.

[0192] Method 4: The PC determines the functions or interfaces to be recommended in Application A based on the currently displayed interface.

[0193] In some examples, the functions or interfaces to be recommended in Application A may include: functions or interfaces in Application A related to the content in the currently displayed interface. For example, when the currently displayed interface includes English, the PC may determine that the translation function in Application A is the function to be recommended. For another example, when the currently displayed information includes an image / video, the PC may determine that the object recognition function in Application A is the function to be recommended.

[0194] Method 5: The PC determines the functions or interfaces to be recommended in Application A based on system settings or user settings.

[0195] In some examples, the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in Application A can be fixed. For example, they can be functions or interfaces set by the user or set by the system by default. Optionally, the implementation details of how the user sets them are not described in detail in this embodiment of the present application. For example, it can be set in the settings application, or set elsewhere.

[0196] The above are five ways for the PC to determine the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in Application A. The PC can use any one of the above five ways, or any two or more of the above five ways can be used in combination, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the above is taking Application A as an example. Since there are N applications that need to be recommended, for the other applications except Application A among the N applications, any one or a combination of the above five ways can also be used to determine the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended.

[0197] Therefore, through the above embodiments, the PC determines the N applications that need to be recommended and the functions or interfaces that need to be recommended in each of the N applications. For the N applications that need to be recommended, the PC needs to display N cards, with one card corresponding to one application. In some embodiments, when the PC displays the N cards, it can be displayed in a certain order. Exemplarily, the display order between the cards can include at least one of the following:

[0198] (1) Display in reverse order according to the chronological order of the historical access times of the N applications. For example, the PC determines that there are 3 recommended applications, namely Application A to Application C. The chronological order of the historical access times of these 3 applications is: Application C -> Application B -> Application A. In other words, Application C was accessed earliest, and Application A was accessed latest. The reverse order of the chronological order of the historical access times of the 3 applications is: Application A -> Application B -> Application C. Therefore, the display order of the 3 cards corresponding to these 3 applications is: Card 1 -> Card 2 -> Card 3.

[0199] (2) Display in the order of the usage frequencies of the N applications from high to low. For example, the PC determines that there are 3 recommended applications, namely Application A to Application C. The order of the usage frequencies of these 3 applications from high to low is: Application A -> Application B -> Application C. Therefore, the display order of the 3 cards corresponding to these 3 applications is: Card 1 -> Card 2 -> Card 3.

[0200] (3) Display in the order of the strength of the correlation between the N applications and the currently running application. For example, the PC determines that there are 3 recommended applications, namely Application a to Application c. The currently running application is Application h. The PC can respectively determine the correlation between the 3 applications and Application h. Taking Application a as an example, the correlation between Application a and Application h can be determined according to the number of times of switching between Application a and Application h. The higher the number of times of switching, the stronger the correlation. Suppose the order of the number of times of switching between the 3 applications and the currently running application is: Application a > Application b > Application c. That is, Application a has the strongest correlation with the currently running application, and Application c has the weakest correlation with the current application. Therefore, the display order of the 3 cards corresponding to these 3 applications is: Card 1 -> Card 2 -> Card 3.

[0201] (4) Display in the order of the strength of the correlation between the N applications and the currently displayed interface. For example, the PC determines that there are 3 recommended applications, namely Application a to Application c. The PC can respectively determine the correlation between the 3 applications and the currently displayed interface. Taking Application a as an example, the correlation between Application a and the currently displayed interface can be determined according to the number of times the user has opened Application a from the currently displayed interface in history. The more the number of times, the stronger the correlation. For example, after the user opens an image (for example, an image in the gallery application) in history, the user often long-presses the image and then shares the image with other contacts through the instant messaging application. Then when the PC determines that the currently displayed interface is an image in the gallery, it determines that the instant messaging application has a relatively strong correlation with the currently displayed interface. Another example is that after the user opens the advertisement interface in the short video application (including product evaluation videos and purchase links) in history, the user often opens the shopping application by clicking on the purchase link in the interface. Therefore, when the PC determines that the currently displayed interface is the advertisement interface of the short video application, it determines that the shopping application has a relatively strong correlation with the currently displayed interface. Therefore, assuming that the order of the strength of the correlation between the 3 applications and the currently running application is: Application a -> Application b -> Application c. Then, the display order of the 3 cards corresponding to these 3 applications is: Card 1 -> Card 2 -> Card 3.

[0202] (5) Display in the order set by the user or the system default order. For example, the PC determines that there are 3 applications, namely Application a to Application c. The PC can display the three cards corresponding to these three applications in a fixed order. The fixed order can be set by the system default or set by the user. Optionally, the process of the user setting the display order of the cards is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0203] The above are five display orders of the N cards. The PC can use any one of the above five display orders, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0204] In the embodiments of the present application, after the PC determines the display order of N cards, it may display the N cards in the display order. For example, assume N = 3, that is, there are 3 recommended applications, corresponding to 3 cards, and assume the display order of the cards is: Card 1 -> Card 2 -> Card 3. Then the PC may display these three cards from left to right in the first area, as Figure 7 . Optionally, it may also be displayed from top to bottom or from right to left in sequence, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0205] In some examples, the PC may display all N cards in the first area. A possible situation is that when N is less than or equal to the threshold, the PC may display all N cards in the first area. The threshold may be 3, for example. That is to say, in the case of a small number of cards, all cards may be displayed in the first area.

[0206] In other examples, considering the limited display area of the first area, the PC may select M applications from N applications and display the M cards corresponding to these M applications in the first area, where M is a positive integer less than N. A possible situation is that when N is greater than the threshold, the PC selects M applications from N applications and displays the M cards corresponding to these M applications in the first area. The threshold may be 3, for example. The value of M is not limited in the embodiments of the present application and may be the system default value or the user-specified value, such as less than or equal to 3. That is to say, in the case of a large number of cards, some cards may be displayed in the first area. Optionally, the method of selecting M applications from N applications may include: sorting the M applications in the display order described above to determine the M applications ranked in the top M positions. Optionally, when only some cards are displayed in the first area, the user may view all cards. For example, as Figure 7 , 3 cards are displayed in the first area. The first area includes a "More" button. When the PC receives an operation on the "More" button, the interface 800 as shown in Figure 8A is displayed. The interface 800 includes 7 cards (taking N = 7 as an example), and each card corresponds to an application, that is, Application a to Application g. It can be understood that if the number of cards is large, paging display may also be used, and the principle is the same as the paging display principle described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0207] In some examples, the user may adjust the display position, form, area, etc. of each card. For example, the user may adjust the shape and area of the card by dragging the border of the card. Optionally, when the user adjusts the shape and / or area of one card, the shape and / or area of other cards may remain unchanged, or may be adjusted correspondingly to ensure that each card has the same shape and the same area. For example, please refer to Figure 8B(a), When the PC receives an operation of long - pressing and dragging on card 6, the position of card 6 moves. Assume that card 6 moves to the display position of card 3, and card 6 has covered most of the area of card 3. When the PC detects that the dragging operation is released, card 6 is displayed at the display position of card 3, and at the same time, card 3 is displayed at the original display position of card 6, as Figure 8B (b), that is, the display positions of card 3 and card 6 are exchanged.

[0208] Optionally, the "More" button in interface 800 is displayed in gray scale to indicate that the button is in a selected state. The PC can also return from interface 800 to interface 700 through the More button. It should be noted that since only some cards can be displayed in the first area of interface 700, when the PC returns to interface 700, the first M cards in interface 800 can be displayed in the first area of interface 700. For example, M = 3. Of course, it is also possible to select the last M cards or randomly select M cards to be displayed in the first area of interface 700. This application embodiment does not make a limitation. It should be noted that taking M = 3 as an example, Figure 8B (b) Since the display positions of card 3 and card 6 are exchanged, the first 3 cards in interface 800 are card 1, card 2, and card 6. Therefore, when the PC receives an operation on the More button, it can return to an interface such as Figure 8C In this interface, the first area includes the first 3 cards in interface 800, that is, card 1, card 2, and card 6.

[0209] As described above, each of the N cards includes a shortcut to the function or interface of the corresponding application. In some embodiments, the shortcuts in each card can be displayed in a certain order. Taking Figure 7 card 1 in as an example, optionally, the display order of the multiple shortcuts in card 1 can include at least one of the following.

[0210] (1), In the reverse order of the historical access order of the corresponding function or interface. For example, Figure 7 In, card 1 includes 4 shortcuts, and the historical access order of the functions or interfaces corresponding to these 4 shortcuts is: Document Q -> Document Z -> Document Y -> Document X. Therefore, the reverse order of the historical access order is: Document X -> Document Y -> Document Z -> Document Q. Therefore, the display order of the multiple shortcuts in card 1 is: Shortcut to Document X -> Shortcut to Document Y -> Shortcut to Document Z -> Shortcut to Document Q.

[0211] (2), In the order of the usage frequency of the corresponding function or interface from high to low. For example, Figure 7Among them, Card 1 includes 4 shortcuts. The order of the usage frequencies of the functions or interfaces corresponding to these 4 shortcuts is: Document X -> Document Y -> Document Z -> Document Q. Therefore, the display order of the multiple shortcuts in Card 1 is: the shortcut of Document X -> the shortcut of Document Y -> the shortcut of Document Z -> the shortcut of Document Q.

[0212] (3) Display according to the order of the relevance strength between the corresponding function or interface and the currently running application. For example, Card 1 includes 4 shortcuts, and the currently running application is Application h. The PC can determine the relevance strength between the functions or interfaces corresponding to the 4 shortcuts and Application h. Taking Document X as an example, its relevance to Application h can be determined according to the number of times of switching between Document X and Application h. The more the number of times, the stronger the relevance. Taking Application h as a browser application as an example, the user often switches between Document X and the browser application. Therefore, when the currently running application is the browser application, the relevance between Document X and the browser application is relatively strong. Therefore, assuming that the order of the relevance strength between the functions or interfaces corresponding to the 4 shortcuts and the currently running application is: Document X -> Document Y -> Document Z -> Document Q. Then, the display order of the multiple shortcuts in Card 1 is: the shortcut of Document X -> the shortcut of Document Y -> the shortcut of Document Z -> the shortcut of Document Q.

[0213] (4) Display according to the order of the relevance strength between the corresponding function or interface and the currently displayed interface. For example, Card 1 includes 4 shortcuts, and the currently displayed interface is Interface h. The PC can determine the relevance strength between the functions or interfaces corresponding to the 4 shortcuts and Interface h. Taking Document X as an example, its relevance to Interface h can be determined according to the number of times of switching between Document X and Interface h. The more the number of times, the stronger the relevance. Taking Interface h as the interface of a browser application as an example, the user often switches between Document X and the interface h of the browser application. Therefore, when the currently displayed interface is the interface h of the browser application, the relevance between Document X and the currently displayed interface is relatively strong. Therefore, assuming that the order of the relevance strength between the functions or interfaces corresponding to the 4 shortcuts and the currently displayed interface is: Document X -> Document Y -> Document Z -> Document Q. Then, the display order of the multiple shortcuts in Card 1 is: the shortcut of Document X -> the shortcut of Document Y -> the shortcut of Document Z -> the shortcut of Document Q.

[0214] (5) Display according to the order specified by the user or the system default order. For example, Card 1 includes 4 shortcuts, and these 4 shortcuts can be displayed in a fixed order. The fixed order can be set by the system default or set by the user. Optionally, the process of the user setting the display order of the shortcuts is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0215] The above are the five display orders of shortcuts in a card. For a card, the PC can use any of the above five display orders, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0216] In the embodiments of the present application, after the PC determines the display order of the shortcuts in Card 1, it can display the shortcuts in Card 1 according to this display order. For example, if the display order of multiple shortcuts in Card 1 is: shortcut of Document X -> shortcut of Document Y -> shortcut of Document Z -> shortcut of Document Q, then the PC can display each shortcut in this order from top to bottom in Card 1, such as Figure 7 . Optionally, it can also be displayed from left to right or from right to left in sequence, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations. It can be understood that if there are a large number of shortcuts, Card 1 can also be displayed in pages. The paging principle is the same as the paging display principle described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0217] The above mainly takes Card 1 as an example, and the same principle applies to other cards.

[0218] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, each card is independent and irrelevant to each other. Taking Card 1 and Card 2 as examples, the shortcuts in Card 1 and the shortcuts in Card 2 are independently maintained and irrelevant to each other. For example, when the shortcuts in Card 1 change, it does not affect the shortcuts in Card 2, and the shortcuts in Card 2 may remain unchanged or may change. Optionally, the change of the shortcuts in Card 1 may include: the change of the function or interface corresponding to the shortcut. For example, the function or interface changes with at least one of the current geographical location, current time, current running application, current display interface of the PC, and the user usage situation of each function or interface in Application A. Optionally, the change of the shortcuts in Card 1 may also include: the change of the display order of the shortcuts. For example, it changes with the access time and usage frequency of the corresponding function or interface. The change principle of the shortcuts in Card 2 is the same as that of the shortcuts in Card 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0219] It is worth noting here that in the previous Figure 6 , the PC dispersedly displays the shortcuts of each application at different positions in the interface and displays them in the historical access order. Therefore, if the user newly accesses an interface, the shortcut corresponding to this interface will be ranked first, and the display positions of other shortcuts will be adjusted respectively. For example, the shortcut originally ranked first needs to be adjusted to the second, and the shortcut originally ranked second needs to be adjusted to the third, and so on. Therefore, Figure 6 all the shortcuts in Figure 7Multiple shortcuts are displayed in different cards according to application categories. The shortcuts in each card can be changed independently, and there is no need to link the shortcuts in all cards.

[0220] Optionally, in the previous embodiment, the layout of card 1 is: the left area displays the logo of application a (the icon and / or name of application a), and the right area displays various shortcuts. Optionally, card 1 can also have other layouts, the upper area displays the logo of application a, the lower area displays various shortcuts, and so on, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the logo of application a may not be displayed in card 1, and only the shortcuts of application a may be displayed. For other cards, the principle is the same.

[0221] In some embodiments, taking card 1 as an example, when the PC receives an operation for the identifier of application a in card 1, the homepage of application a is opened. When the PC receives an operation for a shortcut in card 1, the function or interface corresponding to the shortcut is opened. Optionally, when the PC receives a specific operation, it can also open all the shortcuts in card 1 or the functions or interfaces corresponding to some of the shortcuts, to achieve "one-click full start" or "one-click multiple starts". The partial shortcuts may be the shortcuts that are in the first few places after all shortcuts are sorted in the order of the previous text. Exemplarily, the specific operation may be any type of operation, such as a double-click operation in a blank area in card 1.

[0222] In the above embodiments, mainly by Figure 2 The example of opening the interface 700 by using the icon 201 in FIG. 2 is used as an example. In other embodiments, the interface 700 may be opened by other methods. For example, Figure 9 , icon 901 is displayed in the status bar of the PC. When the PC receives an operation (e.g., a click operation) on icon 901, interface 700 is displayed. That is, the user can open interface 700 in a variety of ways, for example, through icon 901 in the status bar or through icon 201 in the dock bar. Of course, it can also be opened in other ways, which are not listed one by one in the embodiments of the present application.

[0223] In other examples, the PC may also display a preview interface of the interface 700. For example, when the PC receives a preview operation (e.g., an operation in which the cursor hovers over an icon), the preview interface of the interface 700 may be displayed. Optionally, the preview interface of the interface 700 may include all or part of the content in the interface 700, for example, it may only include one or more cards in the interface 700. Optionally, the preview interface of the interface 700 may also have other names, for example, the essence version, the simplified version, etc. of the interface 700.

[0224] For example, see Figure 10A, when the PC detects that the cursor hovers over icon 901, it displays a preview interface of the display interface 700. The preview interface includes Card 1, Card 2, Card 3, and Card 4. Optionally, the preview interface may also include a greater or lesser number of cards, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, assuming there are a total of N cards, the PC can determine a partial number of cards (e.g., 4 cards) from the N cards, and then display the determined partial cards in the preview interface. For example, the PC can sort the N cards in a certain order (please refer to the previous text) and select the first 4 cards. Combining the previous text, in the embodiments of the present application, when the PC detects that the cursor hovers over icon 901, it displays a preview interface of the display interface 700, such as Figure 10A . When the PC detects a click on icon 901, it displays the display interface 700, such as Figure 7 .

[0225] For another example, please refer to Figure 10B , when the PC receives that the cursor hovers over icon 201 in the dock bar, it displays a preview interface of the display interface 700. The preview interface includes Card 1, Card 2, Card 3, and Card 4. Optionally, the preview interface may also include a greater or lesser number of cards, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Combining the previous text, in the embodiments of the present application, when the PC detects that the cursor hovers over icon 201, it displays a preview interface of the display interface 700, such as Figure 10B . When the PC detects a click on icon 201, it displays the display interface 700, such as Figure 7 .

[0226] In some scenarios, in order to quickly find the application that the user wants to use currently, the user may directly search for the application. For example, a search entry (e.g., a search box) is provided on the PC, and the user may search for the application that they want to use in the search entry. In the embodiments of the present application, when the user searches for a certain application, the search results may include the icon of the application and also the card of the application, and the card includes one or more shortcuts of the application. For example, please refer to Figure 11 , when the PC detects that a certain application name is entered in the search box, it displays the search results. The search results include the icon of the application and also the corresponding card of the application, and the card includes one or more shortcuts in the application. In this way, through the search operation, the user can not only search for the application that they want to use currently, but also obtain the shortcuts of a certain function or interface in the application, which is convenient for the user to quickly open these functions or interfaces.

[0227] In some other scenarios, when a user wants to open a certain application, they will move the cursor to the icon of the application and then click on the icon, and then open the home page of the application, and open the function or interface they want to use from the home page. In the embodiments of the present application, when the PC detects that the cursor hovers over the icon of a certain application, it can display a card of the application, and the card includes shortcuts to some functions or interfaces in the application. For example, please refer to Figure 12 , when the PC detects that the cursor hovers over the icon of application a, it displays the corresponding card of application a. In this way, the user does not need to click on the icon of the application to enter the home page and then open a certain function or interface from the home page, because when the cursor hovers over the icon and has not clicked on the icon, they can see the shortcuts to some functions or interfaces of the application, and can directly open the corresponding function or interface through the shortcuts.
