[0003] The present application provides a desktop icon management method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, which improves the management efficiency of the user for the icons in the desktop and improves the user experience.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a desktop icon management method, which includes: an electronic device receiving a first operation of a user for a plurality of application icons in a desktop, the first operation being an operation of moving the plurality of application icons to a first filling empty position; in response to the first operation, the electronic device displaying a first folder in the first filling empty position or a horizontal direction of the first filling empty position or a vertical direction of the first filling empty position, and the first folder displaying the plurality of application icons.

[0005] Optionally, when the electronic device displays the first folder in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position or the vertical direction of the first filling empty position, the user can directly click an application icon in the first folder to open the application corresponding to the application icon.

[0006] Optionally, the electronic device can first determine whether the number of filling empty positions near the first filling empty position is greater than the number of the plurality of application icons. If yes, the electronic device can display the plurality of application icons near the first filling empty position. If no, the electronic device can display the first folder near the first filling empty position, and the first folder displays the plurality of application icons.

[0007] Optionally, the electronic device can also not determine whether the number of filling empty positions near the first filling empty position is greater than the number of the plurality of application icons. The electronic device directly displays the first folder in the first filling empty position or the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position or the vertical direction of the first filling empty position, and the first folder displays the plurality of application icons.

[0008] Through the method, the electronic device can generate the first folder based on the plurality of application icons dragged by the user, which improves the management efficiency of the user for the icons in the desktop and improves the user experience.

[0009] With reference to the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, the size of the plurality of application icons displayed in the first folder is less than or equal to the size of the plurality of application icons displayed on the desktop of the electronic device before the first operation is received.

[0010] When the number of the filled empty positions occupied by the first folder is equal to the number of the plurality of application icons, the size of the plurality of application icons displayed in the first folder is equal to the size of the plurality of application icons displayed on the desktop of the electronic device before the first operation is received.

[0011] When the number of the filled empty positions occupied by the first folder is less than the number of the plurality of application icons, the size of the plurality of application icons displayed in the first folder is less than the size of the plurality of application icons displayed on the desktop of the electronic device before the first operation is received.

[0012] With reference to the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, the plurality of application icons includes a first application icon and a second application icon, and when the usage frequency of the first application is greater than the usage frequency of the second application, the display position of the first application icon in the first folder is in front of the display position of the second application icon in the first folder.

[0013] In this way, the electronic device 100 can display the icon of the application frequently used by the user in front of the first folder, facilitating the user to find and use the application.

[0014] With reference to the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, the electronic device displays the first folder in the first filled empty position, or in the horizontal direction of the first filled empty position, or in the vertical direction of the first filled empty position, and specifically includes the following steps. When the number of the filled empty positions near the first filled empty position is less than the number of the plurality of application icons, the electronic device displays the first folder in the first filled empty position, or in the horizontal direction of the first filled empty position, or in the vertical direction of the first filled empty position, and the plurality of application icons are displayed in the first folder.

[0015] In this way, the electronic device can determine whether the number of the filled empty positions near the first filled empty position is greater than the number of the plurality of application icons. If yes, the electronic device can directly display the plurality of application icons near the first filled empty position. If not, the electronic device can display the first folder in the horizontal direction of the first filled empty position or in the vertical direction of the first filled empty position.

[0017] In this way, when the filling empty position quantity in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position and the filling empty position quantity in the vertical direction of the first filling empty position are both greater than the first value, the electronic device can prompt the user to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder.

[0018] With reference to the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, the electronic device displays the first folder in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position or in the vertical direction of the first filling empty position, and specifically includes: the electronic device obtains a first filling empty position quantity in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position and a second filling empty position quantity in the vertical direction of the first filling empty position; if the first filling empty position quantity and the second filling empty position quantity are both greater than a first value, in a case that the first filling empty position quantity is greater than the second filling empty position quantity, the electronic device displays the first folder in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position; and in a case that the second filling empty position quantity is greater than the first filling empty position quantity, the electronic device displays the first folder in the vertical direction of the first filling empty position.

[0019] In a possible implementation manner, the method further includes: if the first filling empty position quantity is greater than the first value and the second filling empty position quantity is less than the first value, the electronic device displays the first folder in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position; and / or, if the second filling empty position quantity is greater than the first value and the first filling empty position quantity is less than the first value, the electronic device displays the first folder in the vertical direction of the first filling empty position.

[0020] In this way, when the filling empty position quantity in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position and the filling empty position quantity in the vertical direction of the first filling empty position are both greater than the first value, the electronic device can determine to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder based on the size of the filling empty position quantity in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position and the filling empty position quantity in the vertical direction of the first filling empty position. When the filling empty position quantity in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position is greater than the filling empty position quantity in the vertical direction of the first filling empty position, the electronic device can generate a horizontal folder, and when the filling empty position quantity in the vertical direction of the first filling empty position is greater than the filling empty position quantity in the horizontal direction of the first filling empty position, the electronic device can generate a vertical folder.

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " represents the meaning of or, for example, A / B can represent A or B; the "and / or" in the text only describes the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which means that there are three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0041] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for description purposes, and cannot be understood as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features, and in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more than two.

[0042] In the following embodiments of the present application, the term "user interface (UI)" is a medium interface for interaction and information exchange between an application or an operating system and a user, which realizes the conversion between the internal form of information and the form that the user can accept. The commonly used form of user interface is graphic user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operation displayed in a graphical manner. It can be a visual interface element such as text, icon, button, menu, tab, text box, dialog box, status bar, navigation bar, Widget, etc. displayed in the display screen of a wearable device.

[0043] First, the technical terms involved in the present application are explained.

[0044] 1. Fill the empty position.

[0045] The filled empty position can refer to the position on the desktop that accommodates the icon.

[0046] Exemplarily, FIG. 1A A schematic diagram of the filled empty position on the desktop of an electronic device 100 is shown, as FIG. 1A As shown, the desktop of the electronic device 100 includes a plurality of filled empty positions, FIG. 1A The dashed box in the figure is a filled empty position, for example, including 12 filled empty positions. The filled empty position can be used to fill application icons, folder icons, or card icons, etc.

[0047] Needless to say, FIG. 1A Only a schematic diagram of the filled empty position on the desktop of an electronic device 100 is shown, which is not limited in the present application.

[0048] For example, as FIG. 1B When the filled empty position displays an application icon of a single application, one filled empty position can display an application icon of one application, for example, the filled empty position 1001 displays an application icon of the memo application.

[0049] For another example, as FIG. 1C And FIG. 1D When the filled empty position displays an icon of a folder, an icon of one folder can occupy one filled empty position or multiple filled empty positions. As FIG. 1C As shown, an icon of one folder can occupy one filled empty position, i.e., the filled empty position 1001, and one or more application icons of an application can be displayed in one folder, FIG. 1C As shown, two application icons of an application, for example, an application icon of the flashlight application and an application icon of the memo application, are displayed in one folder. For another example, FIG. 1D As shown, an icon of one folder can also occupy multiple filled empty positions, for example, two filled empty positions, i.e., the filled empty position 1001 and the filled empty position 1002, and the filled empty position 1001 and the filled empty position 1002 display an icon of a folder, and the folder displays an application icon of the flashlight application and an application icon of the memo application. In some embodiments, a card icon of an application can also be displayed in the folder, which is not shown in the figure.

[0050] For another example, as FIG. 1E When the filled empty position displays a card icon of an application, one card icon of an application can occupy one filled empty position or multiple filled empty positions. FIG. 1EThe card icon of the parking application shown occupies two padding spaces, namely padding space 1001 and padding space 1002.

[0051] 2. The target padding space, the number of padding spaces near the target padding space, the number of padding spaces in the horizontal direction of the target padding space, and the number of padding spaces in the vertical direction of the target padding space.

[0052] The target padding space can refer to the final position of the icon moved by the user on the desktop.

[0053] The padding spaces near the target padding space can refer to a plurality of continuous padding spaces including the target padding space.

[0054] For example, as shown in FIG. 1F When the padding space 1001 is the target padding space, the number of padding spaces near the target padding space can include FIG. 1F 12 padding spaces shown.

[0055] For example, as shown in FIG. 1G When the padding space 1001 is the target padding space, the number of padding spaces near the target padding space can include 11 padding spaces except for the padding space 1008.

[0056] For example, as shown in FIG. 1H When the padding space 1001 is the target padding space, the number of padding spaces near the target padding space can include the padding space 1001, the padding space 1003, the padding space 1004, the padding space 1005, the padding space 1008, and the padding space 1011.

[0057] The number of padding spaces in the horizontal direction of the target padding space can refer to a plurality of continuous padding spaces including the target padding space, on the left of the target padding space or on the right of the target padding space.

[0058] For example, as shown in FIG. 1G Or FIG. 1H When the padding space 1001 is the target padding space, the number of padding spaces in the horizontal direction of the target padding space includes 3, which are the padding space 1001, the padding space 1003, and the padding space 1004.

[0059] The number of padding spaces in the vertical direction of the target padding space can refer to a plurality of continuous padding spaces including the target padding space, above the target padding space or below the target padding space.

[0060] For example, FIG. 1G As shown, when filling position 1001 is the target filling position, the number of filling positions in the vertical direction of filling position 1001 includes 4, namely filling position 1001, filling position 1005, filling position 1006 and filling position 1007.

[0061] For example, FIG. 1H As shown, when the filling space 1001 is the target filling space, the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the filling space 1001 includes 2, namely the filling space 1001 and the filling space 1005.

[0062] In order to meet functional requirements, the number of applications installed on electronic devices is increasing, and the number of application icons in the icon display interface of the electronic device (also known as the desktop) is also increasing. The user can move the application icon displayed on the desktop. For example, move the display position of the application icon to the target filling space. In order to make it possible to move the application icon to be displayed in the target filling space, the number of filling spaces near the target filling space needs to be greater than or equal to the number of filling spaces required for the application icon moved by the user. If the number of filling spaces near the target filling space is less than the number of filling spaces required for the application icon moved by the user, the user will not be able to move the application icon to the target filling space, and the electronic device 100 will still display the application icon moved by the user at the initial position.

[0063] Based on this, the present application provides a desktop icon management method, which includes: the desktop of the electronic device 100 includes multiple icons, and the multiple icons may include any one or more of application icons, folder icons, and card icons, and one or more application icons or one or more card icons are displayed in the file. Among them, the card can be a display method for shortcut operations of applications installed on the electronic device 100, and the card displays information within the application. In this way, the user can obtain information within the application through the information displayed on the card without opening the application. For example, the card can be a card for a weather application, and the user can check the weather conditions on the card of the weather application without opening the weather application. For example, the card can be a card for a parking application, and the user can check parking information, such as parking duration, parking location, etc., on the card of the parking application without opening the parking application.

[0064] The electronic device 100 may receive a first operation, where the first operation is an operation of selecting multiple icons and dragging the multiple icons to a target to fill spaces.

[0065] In response to the first operation, the electronic device 100 needs to determine whether the number of filling slots near the target filling slot is greater than the number of the plurality of icons.

[0066] If the number of filling spaces near the target filling space is greater than or equal to the number of the multiple icons, the electronic device 100 may display the multiple icons near the target position.

[0067] If the number of filling slots near the target filling slot is less than the number of the multiple icons, the electronic device 100 may obtain the number of filling slots in the horizontal direction of the target filling slot or the number of filling slots in the vertical direction of the target filling slot.

[0068] When the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space and the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space are both greater than or equal to a first value (e.g., 2), in one possible implementation, the electronic device 100 may prompt the user to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder. If the user chooses to generate a horizontal folder, the electronic device 100 may display a horizontal folder near the target filling space and display multiple icons in the horizontal folder, and the number of filling spaces occupied by the horizontal folder is less than or equal to the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space. If the user chooses to generate a vertical folder, the electronic device 100 may display a vertical folder near the target filling space and display multiple icons in the vertical folder, and the number of filling spaces occupied by the vertical folder is less than or equal to the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space.

[0069] In other possible implementations, if the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space is greater than the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space, the electronic device 100 may generate a horizontal folder and display the horizontal folder near the target filling space. If the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space is greater than the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space, the electronic device 100 may generate a horizontal folder and display the horizontal folder near the target filling space.

[0070] In other possible implementations, the electronic device 100 may also generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder by default. For example, the electronic device 100 may receive a setting to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder by default.

[0071] Not limited to the above method, the electronic device 100 can also generate a folder based on multiple icons dragged by the user in other ways, and this application does not limit this.

[0072] Optionally, after the electronic device 100 generates a horizontal folder or a vertical folder, the user can directly click on an application icon in the first folder to open an application corresponding to the application icon.

[0073] In other embodiments, if the number of empty spaces near the target filling empty space is less than the number of icons, the electronic device 100 can move the icons near the target position to other positions, so that the number of filling empty spaces near the target filling empty space is greater than or equal to the number of icons. Then, the electronic device 100 can display the plurality of icons near the target filling empty space.

[0074] Through the method, the electronic device 100 can automatically generate a folder based on the number of icons moved by the user in the case that the number of filling empty spaces near the target filling empty space is less than the number of filling empty spaces occupied by the icons moved by the user, so as to display the icons moved by the user near the target filling empty space, improve the efficiency of desktop icon management, and improve the user experience.

The icon 3004 is used to prompt the current display position of the application icon of the selected one or more applications.

[0156] If the user needs to move the application icon of the selected one or more applications to and display it near the target filling empty position, the electronic device 100 needs to obtain the number of filling empty positions required by the application icon of the selected one or more applications and the number of filling empty positions near the target filling empty position.

[0157] ​​When the number of filling slots near the target filling slot is greater than the number of filling slots required for the application icons of the one or more applications selected by the user, the electronic device 100 may display the application icons of the one or more applications selected by the user near the target filling slot.

[0158] For example, FIG. 3C As shown, the number of filling spaces near the target filling space is 4, and the number of filling spaces required for the application icons of one or more applications selected by the user is 3. The electronic device 100 can display the application icons of one or more applications selected by the user near the target filling space, for example, FIG. 3D In this way, the electronic device 100 can display the application icons of multiple applications dragged by the user together, making it convenient for users to find and use the multiple applications.

[0165] For example, the user is not limited to moving the display position of the application icon of the application, and can also move the display position of the application icon and the folder icon at the same time. For example, the user can select FIG. 3B The folder icon and the application icon of the weather application are shown, and the folder icon and the application icon of the weather application are dragged to the target to fill the empty space. At this time, the number of application icons moved by the user is 5, of which the number of application icons for applications in the file is 4, and the number of application icons for a single application is 1.

[0166] S302A: If the number of filling spaces near the target filling space is greater than or equal to the number of the multiple applications, the electronic device 100 displays application icons of the multiple applications near the target filling space.

[0167] In order to allow the user to move the application icons of multiple applications to the vicinity of the display target filling slots, the electronic device 100 needs to confirm whether the number of filling slots of the target filling slot attachment is greater than or equal to the number of the multiple applications.

[0168] The vicinity of a target filling vacancy may refer to a plurality of consecutive filling vacancies including the target filling vacancy.

[0169] When the number of the filling slots near the target filling slot is greater than or equal to the number of the multiple applications, it indicates that the application icons of the multiple applications can be moved to be displayed near the target filling slot.

As shown in the example, FIG. 4A As shown, the electronic device 100 can receive the operation of the user long-pressing and dragging the application icon, so that the finger of the user moves from the display position of the application icon of the calendar application to the target filling empty position on which no other icon is displayed.

[0250] As shown, FIG. 4B As shown, the number of filling empty positions near the target filling empty position is 2, which is less than the number of application icons of the one or more applications selected by the user, the electronic device 100 can move the icons near the target filling empty position, for example, the electronic device 100 can move the display position of the application icon of the memo application.

[0251] In a possible implementation, the electronic device 100 can display the application icon of the memo application on another page, so that the number of filling empty positions near the target filling empty position is greater than or equal to the number of filling empty positions required by the application icons of the one or more applications selected by the user. For example, after the electronic device 100 displays the application icon of the memo application on another page, the number of filling empty positions near the target filling empty position is 4, the electronic device 100 can display the application icons of the one or more applications selected by the user near the target filling empty position, for example, display FIG. 4C As shown in the user interface.

[0252] Then, the electronic device 100 can receive the sliding operation, for example, the left sliding operation, of the user on FIG. 4C As shown in the user interface. FIG. 4D As shown in the user interface, FIG. 3U As shown, the user interface includes the application icon of the memo application.

[0253] In other possible implementations, the electronic device 100 can display the application icon of the memo application on other filling empty positions of the current page, so that the number of filling empty positions near the target filling empty position is greater than or equal to the number of filling empty positions required by the application icons of the one or more applications selected by the user. After the electronic device 100 displays the application icon of the memo application on the filling empty positions of the current page, for example, the application icon of the memo application is displayed on FIG. 4E As shown in the filling empty position, the number of filling empty positions near the target filling empty position is 3, the electronic device 100 can display the application icons of the one or more applications selected by the user near the target filling empty position.

[0254] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can also prompt the user to select to display the application icon of the memo application in the filling empty positions of the current page or in the filling empty positions of another page.

[0255] In this way, the electronic device 100 can display the application icons of the plurality of applications dragged by the user together, facilitating the user to find and use the plurality of applications.

[0256] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can also receive the user operation of generating a folder based on the plurality of application icons moved by the user, and the number of padding spaces occupied by the folder in the horizontal direction and the number of padding spaces occupied by the folder in the vertical direction can be the same.

[0257] For example, as shown in FIG. 4F After the life service application, the calendar application and the weather application are selected, the user can drag the finger to change the display positions of the life service application, the calendar application and the weather application on the desktop. For example, as shown in FIG. 4G The electronic device 100 can receive the user operation of long pressing and dragging the application icons, so that the finger of the user moves from the display position of the application icon of the calendar application to FIG. 4G The target padding space is not displayed with other icons.

[0258] As shown in FIG. 4G The number of padding spaces near the target padding space is 4, which is greater than the number of application icons of one or more applications selected by the user. The electronic device 100 can generate a first folder based on the padding spaces near the target padding space, and display the plurality of application icons dragged by the user in the first folder.

[0259] For example, as shown in FIG. 4H The first folder can be the folder 4010, the folder 4010 occupies 4 padding spaces, the folder 4010 occupies 2 padding spaces in the horizontal direction, and the folder 4010 also occupies 2 padding spaces in the vertical direction.

[0260] II. The electronic device 100 receives the user operation of moving the folder icon on the desktop.

[0261] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can also receive the user operation of moving the folder icon on the desktop. When the number of padding spaces in the horizontal direction of the target padding space and the number of padding spaces in the vertical direction of the target padding space are both less than the size of the folder moved by the user, the electronic device 100 can change the size of the folder moved by the user based on the number of padding spaces in the horizontal direction of the target padding space or the number of padding spaces in the vertical direction of the target padding space, so that the folder moved by the user can be displayed near the target padding space.

[0262] FIGS. 5A-5L A schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 receiving the user operation of moving the folder icon on the desktop is shown.

[0263] In some embodiments, in a case where the number of the padding empty positions in the transverse direction of the target padding empty position is greater than or equal to a first value (for example, 2) and the number of the padding empty positions in the longitudinal direction of the target padding empty position is less than the first value, the electronic device 100 can generate a transverse folder based on the folder dragged by the user.

[0264] FIGS. 5A-5C A schematic diagram in which the electronic device 100 generates a transverse folder based on a folder dragged by a user is shown.

[0265] For example, the embodiments of the present application are described by taking that the electronic device 100 receives a user operation of moving a first folder on a desktop as an example.

[0266] In the above embodiments, the electronic device 100 can generate a transverse folder based on the folder dragged by the user. FIG. 5A A desktop of the electronic device 100 is shown. As shown in the figure, FIG. 5A The desktop of the electronic device 100 displays a plurality of application icons and an icon of a folder 5001, for example, an application icon of a Huawei Store application, an application icon of a smart home application. The folder 5001 displays a plurality of application icons of applications, for example, an application icon of a music application, an application icon of a reading application, an application icon of a flashlight application, and an application icon of a gallery.

[0267] For example, as shown in the figure, FIG. 5A The electronic device 100 can receive an input operation of the user on the folder 5001, for example, a single click. In response to the input operation of the user, the electronic device 100 can select the folder 5001.

[0268] Optionally, in order to prompt the user that the folder 5001 is selected, the electronic device 100 can display a mark on the icon of the folder 5001, for example, a mark 5002 displayed on the icon of the folder 5001. The mark 5002 is used to prompt the user that the folder 5001 is selected.

[0269] The user can select and move more folders at the same time, not limited to selecting one folder. The present application does not limit this.

[0270] For example, as shown in the figure, FIG. 5B The electronic device 100 can receive an operation of the user long pressing and dragging the icon of the folder 5001, so that the user's finger moves from the display position of the icon of the folder 5001 to a target padding empty position, and no other icon is displayed on the target padding empty position.

[0271] Optionally, during the process of the user dragging the folder 5001, the electronic device 100 can display an icon 5003, which moves with the movement of the user's finger. The icon 5003 is used to prompt the current display position of the icon of the selected folder.

[0272] If the user needs to move the selected folder 5001 to and display it near the target padding space, the electronic device 100 needs to obtain the number of padding spaces required by the selected folder 5001, and the number of padding spaces in the horizontal direction of the target padding space and the number of padding spaces in the vertical direction of the target padding space. The electronic device 100 can change the size and shape of the folder moved by the user based on the number of padding spaces in the horizontal direction of the target padding space or the number of padding spaces in the vertical direction of the target padding space, so that the folder moved by the user can be displayed near the target padding space.

[0273] For example, as shown in FIG. 5C , the number of padding spaces in the horizontal direction of the target padding space is 3, and the number of padding spaces required by the selected folder 5001 is 4. The electronic device 100 needs to change the size and shape of the folder 5001, for example, modify the shape of the folder 5001 to a horizontal folder, modify the size of the folder 5001 to occupy three padding spaces, and modify the size of the application icons displayed in the folder 5001 based on the size-modified folder 5001. For example, the electronic device 100 can display the folder 5004 as shown in FIG. 5C . The folder 5004 includes the application icon of the music application, the application icon of the reading application, the application icon of the flashlight application, and the application icon of the gallery. The size of the folder 5004 is smaller than the size of the folder 5001, and the size of the application icons displayed in the folder 5004 is smaller than the size of the application icons displayed in the folder 5001.

[0274] In some embodiments, in the case that the number of padding spaces in the vertical direction of the target padding space is greater than or equal to a first value (for example, 2) and the number of padding spaces in the horizontal direction of the target padding space is less than the first value, the electronic device 100 can generate a vertical folder for the folder dragged by the user.

[0275] FIGS. 5D-5F An example is shown in

[0276] For example, as shown in FIG. 5D , the electronic device 100 can receive an operation of long-pressing and dragging the icon of the folder 5001, so that the user's finger moves from the display position of the icon of the folder 5001 to the target padding space, and no other icon is displayed on the target padding space.

[0277] If the user needs to move the selected folder 5001 to and display it near the target fill vacancy, the electronic device 100 needs to obtain the number of fill vacancies required by the selected folder 5001 and the number of fill vacancies in the horizontal direction of the target fill vacancy and the number of fill vacancies in the vertical direction of the target fill vacancy. The electronic device 100 can change the size and shape of the folder moved by the user based on the number of fill vacancies in the horizontal direction of the target fill vacancy or the number of fill vacancies in the vertical direction of the target fill vacancy, so that the folder moved by the user can be displayed near the target fill vacancy.

[0278] For example, as shown in FIG. 5D , the number of fill vacancies in the horizontal direction of the target fill vacancy is 4, the number of fill vacancies required by the selected folder 5001 is 4, and the electronic device 100 needs to change the shape of the folder 5001, for example, modify the shape of the folder 5001 to a vertical folder, and the size of the folder 5001 does not need to be modified. For example, the electronic device 100 can display the folder 5005 as shown in FIG. 5E . The folder 5005 includes the application icon of the music application, the application icon of the reading application, the application icon of the flashlight application, and the application icon of the gallery, the size of the folder 5005 is the same as the size of the folder 5001, and the size of the application icons displayed in the folder 5005 is the same as the size of the application icons displayed in the folder 5001.

[0279] In some embodiments, if the number of fill vacancies in the horizontal direction of the target fill vacancy is less than the number of fill vacancies required by the folder 5001, the electronic device 100 also needs to reduce the size of the folder 5001 and reduce the size of the application icons displayed in the folder 5001.

[0280] FIG. 5F A method flowchart diagram is shown for the electronic device 100 to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder based on the folder dragged by the user.

[0281] S501A, the electronic device 100 receives the operation of dragging the first folder and moving it to the target fill vacancy.

[0282] For example, the first folder can be the folder 5001 as shown in FIG. 5A , and the icon thereof can be the icon of the folder 5001 as shown in FIG. 5A .

[0283] For example, the operation of dragging the first folder can be the operation of dragging the folder 5001 as shown in FIG. 5A .

[0284] Optionally, after selecting the folder 5001, before dragging the folder 5001, the electronic device 100 can display a mark on the icon of the folder 5001 to prompt the user that the folder 5001 has been selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the electronic device 100 can display a mark 5002 on the icon of the folder 5001. FIG. 5A

[0285] S502A, if the shape formed by the number of padding spaces near the target padding space does not include the shape of the first folder, the number of padding spaces in the lateral direction of the target padding space is greater than or equal to the first value, the electronic device 100 displays the second folder in the lateral direction of the target padding space. If the number of padding spaces in the longitudinal direction of the target padding space is greater than or equal to the first value, the electronic device 100 displays the second folder in the longitudinal direction of the target padding space.

[0286] The electronic device 100 needs to confirm whether the shape formed by the padding spaces near the target padding space includes the shape of the first folder.

[0287] When the shape formed by the padding spaces near the target padding space includes the shape of the first folder, the electronic device 100 can display the first folder near the target padding space.

[0288] When the shape formed by the padding spaces near the target padding space does not include the shape of the first folder, the electronic device 100 needs to change the shape of the first folder.

[0289] For example, if the shape formed by the number of padding spaces near the target padding space does not include the shape of the first folder, the number of padding spaces in the lateral direction of the target padding space is greater than or equal to the first value, the electronic device 100 can automatically generate a horizontal folder, for example, the second folder is a horizontal folder, and the electronic device 100 can display the second folder in the lateral direction of the target padding space.

[0290] In some embodiments, if the shape formed by the number of padding spaces near the target padding space does not include the shape of the first folder, the number of padding spaces in the lateral direction of the target padding space is greater than or equal to the first value, and the number of padding spaces in the longitudinal direction of the target padding space is less than the first value, the electronic device 100 can further automatically generate a horizontal folder, for example, the second folder is a horizontal folder, and display the second folder in the lateral direction of the target padding space.

[0291] For example, the horizontal folder can be a folder 5004 as shown in FIG. 5C. FIG. 5C

[0292] ​​For another example, if the shape formed by the number of filling spaces near the target filling space does not include the shape of the first folder, and the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space is greater than or equal to the first value, the electronic device 100 can automatically generate a vertical folder. For example, if the second folder is a vertical folder, the electronic device 100 can display the second folder in the vertical direction of the target filling space.

[0293] In some embodiments, if the shape formed by the number of filling spaces near the target filling space does not include the shape of the first folder, the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space is greater than or equal to the first value, and the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space is less than the first value, the electronic device 100 automatically generates a vertical folder, for example, the second folder is a vertical folder, and displays the second folder in the vertical direction of the target filling space.

[0294] For example, a vertical folder can be FIG. 5E Folder 5005 is shown.

[0295] Through this method, the electronic device 100 can automatically change the shape of the first folder dragged by the user.

[0296] In some embodiments, when the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space and the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space are both greater than or equal to a first value (for example, 2), the electronic device 100 may prompt the user to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder for the folder dragged by the user.

[0297] FIGS. 5G-5I A schematic diagram showing the electronic device 100 prompting the user to create a vertical folder or a horizontal folder is shown.

[0298] For example, FIG. 5G As shown, the electronic device 100 can receive the user's long press and drag operation of the folder 5001 icon, so that the user's finger moves from the display position of the folder 5001 icon to the target filling space, and no other icons are displayed on the target filling space.

[0299] If the user wants to move the selected folder 5001 to and display it near the target filling space, the electronic device 100 needs to obtain the number of filling spaces required for the folder 5001 selected by the user, as well as the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space and the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space. The electronic device 100 can change the size and shape of the folder moved by the user based on the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space or the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space so that the folder moved by the user can be displayed near the target filling space.

[0300] For example, FIG. 5GAs shown, the number of filling vacancies in the lateral direction of the target filling vacancy is 3, the number of filling vacancies in the lateral direction of the target filling vacancy is 4, and both the number of filling vacancies in the lateral direction of the target filling vacancy and the number of filling vacancies in the longitudinal direction of the target filling vacancy are greater than 2.

[0301] In a possible implementation, the electronic device 100 can prompt the user to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder by dragging the folder dragged by the user.

[0302] For example, FIG. 5H As shown, the electronic device 100 can display FIG. 5H a prompt information 5006 including the text "Please select to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder", which is used to prompt the user to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder. The prompt information 5006 also includes a horizontal folder option and a vertical folder option. The user can select the horizontal folder option so that the electronic device 100 generates a horizontal folder, and the user can also select the vertical folder option so that the electronic device 100 generates a vertical folder.

[0303] For example, the electronic device 100 can receive an input operation such as a single click of the user on the horizontal folder option in the prompt information 5006. In response to the input operation of the user, the electronic device 100 can generate FIG. 5C a folder 5004 as shown.

[0304] For example, the electronic device 100 can also receive an input operation such as a single click of the user on the vertical folder option in the prompt information 5006. In response to the input operation of the user, the electronic device 100 can generate FIG. 5E a folder 5005 as shown.

[0305] In other possible implementations, the electronic device 100 can compare whether the number of filling vacancies in the lateral direction of the target filling vacancy is more than the number of filling vacancies in the longitudinal direction of the target filling vacancy. In the case that the number of filling vacancies in the lateral direction of the target filling vacancy is more than the number of filling vacancies in the longitudinal direction of the target filling vacancy, the electronic device 100 can automatically generate a horizontal folder. In the case that the number of filling vacancies in the longitudinal direction of the target filling vacancy is more than the number of filling vacancies in the lateral direction of the target filling vacancy, the electronic device 100 can automatically generate a vertical folder. In the case that the number of filling vacancies in the lateral direction of the target filling vacancy is the same as the number of filling vacancies in the longitudinal direction of the target filling vacancy, the electronic device 100 can again prompt the user to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder.

[0306] In other possible implementations, in a case where the number of the fill-in empty positions in the lateral direction of the target fill-in empty position and the number of the fill-in empty positions in the longitudinal direction of the target fill-in empty position are both greater than or equal to a first value (for example, 2), the electronic device 100 can also generate a lateral folder or a longitudinal folder by default, which can be automatically set by the system or set by the user.

[0307] FIG. 5I A method flowchart for prompting the user to generate a lateral folder or a longitudinal folder by the electronic device 100 is shown.

[0308] S501B, the electronic device 100 receives and drags the first folder and moves to the target fill-in empty position.

[0309] For example, the first folder can be FIG. 5A The icon of the folder 5001 shown can be FIG. 5A The icon of the folder 5001 shown.

[0310] For example, the operation of dragging the first folder can be FIG. 5G The operation of dragging the folder 5001 shown.

[0311] Optionally, after selecting the folder 5001, before dragging the folder 5001, the electronic device 100 can display a mark on the icon of the folder 5001 to prompt the user that the folder 5001 has been selected. For example, as FIG. 5A The electronic device 100 can display a mark 5002 on the icon of the folder 5001.

[0312] For example, the target fill-in empty position can be FIG. 5G The fill-in empty position where the user's finger is shown.

[0313] S502B, if the shape composed of the number of fill-in empty positions near the target fill-in empty position does not include the shape of the first folder, and the number of fill-in empty positions in the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction of the target fill-in empty position are both greater than the first value, the electronic device 100 displays a second prompt information, and the second prompt information is used to prompt the user to select to generate a lateral folder or a longitudinal folder.

[0314] In a case where the shape composed of the number of fill-in empty positions near the target fill-in empty position does not include the shape of the first folder, and the number of fill-in empty positions in the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction of the target fill-in empty position are both greater than the first value, the electronic device 100 can prompt the user to select to generate a lateral folder or a longitudinal folder.

[0315] For example, the second prompt information can be FIG. 5H The prompt information 5006 shown.

[0316] S503B, the electronic device 100 receives a third operation of the user on the second prompt information, and determines the size and shape of the second folder. When the shape of the second folder is a horizontal folder, the size of the second folder is less than or equal to the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space horizontally. When the shape of the second folder is a vertical folder, the size of the second folder is less than or equal to the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space vertically.

[0317] The third operation is used by the electronic device 100 to generate a horizontal folder or a vertical folder.

[0318] For example, the third operation can be an input operation, such as a click, on the horizontal folder option in the prompt information 5006. For example, the fourth target folder can be the folder 5004 shown in FIG. 5B. FIG. 5C

[0319] After confirming that the horizontal folder is generated, the electronic device 100 can obtain the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space horizontally, and determine the size of the fourth target folder based on the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space horizontally. The size of the fourth target folder is less than or equal to the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space horizontally.

[0320] For example, the third operation can also be an input operation, such as a click, on the vertical folder option in the prompt information 5006. For example, the first target folder can be the folder 5004 shown in FIG. 5B. FIG. 5E

[0321] After confirming that the vertical folder is generated, the electronic device 100 can obtain the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space vertically, and determine the size of the fourth target folder based on the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space vertically. The size of the fourth target folder is less than or equal to the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space vertically.

[0322] Through the method, the electronic device 100 can prompt the user to change the shape of the first folder being dragged.

[0323] In some embodiments, if the shape composed of the number of the filler spaces near the target filler space does not include the shape of the first folder, and the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space horizontally and vertically is greater than the first value, the electronic device 100 can also not display the second prompt information. The electronic device 100 can confirm whether the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space horizontally is greater than the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space vertically.

[0324] When the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space horizontally is greater than the number of the filler spaces in the target filler space vertically, the electronic device 100 can generate a horizontal folder.

[0325] ​​When the number of filling slots in the vertical direction of the target filling slot is greater than the number of filling slots in the horizontal direction of the target filling slot, the electronic device 100 may generate a vertical folder.

[0326] In this way, the electronic device 100 can automatically generate a larger horizontal folder or a larger vertical folder, so that the size of the application icon displayed in the folder is as large as possible, making it easier for the user to view the applications in the folder.

[0327] In some embodiments, the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space and the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space are both less than a first value (for example, 2), and the electronic device 100 can generate a minimum unit folder on the target filling space.

[0328] FIGS. 5J-5K A schematic diagram showing an electronic device 100 generating a minimum unit folder based on a folder dragged by a user is shown.

[0329] For example, FIG. 5J As shown, the electronic device 100 can receive the user's long press and drag operation of the folder 5001 icon, so that the user's finger moves from the display position of the folder 5001 icon to the target filling space, and no other icons are displayed on the target filling space.

[0330] If the user wants to move the selected folder 5001 to and display it near the target filling space, the electronic device 100 needs to obtain the number of filling spaces required for the folder 5001 selected by the user, as well as the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space and the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space. The electronic device 100 can change the size and shape of the folder moved by the user based on the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space or the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space so that the folder moved by the user can be displayed near the target filling space.

[0331] For example, FIG. 5J As shown, the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space is 1, the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space is also 1, and the number of filling spaces in the horizontal direction of the target filling space and the number of filling spaces in the vertical direction of the target filling space are both less than 2.

[0332] The electronic device 100 needs to change the size and shape of the folder 5001, for example, modify the shape of the folder 5001 to the smallest unit folder, the size of the smallest unit folder is a fill space. For example, the electronic device 100 can display FIG. 5KThe folder 5007 shown includes an application icon of a music application, an application icon of a reading application, an application icon of a flashlight application, and an application icon of a gallery. The folder 5007 has a size smaller than that of the folder 5001, and the application icons displayed in the folder 5007 have sizes smaller than those of the application icons displayed in the folder 5001.

[0333] FIG. 5L A method flowchart for generating a minimum unit folder by the electronic device 100 is shown.

[0334] S501C. The electronic device 100 receives and drags the first folder and moves it to a target fill vacancy.

[0335] For example, the first folder can be FIG. 5A The folder 5001 shown has an icon that can be FIG. 5A The icon of the folder 5001 shown.

[0336] For example, the operation of dragging the first folder can be FIG. 5J The operation of dragging the folder 5001 shown.

[0337] Optionally, after the folder 5001 is selected, before the folder 5001 is dragged, the electronic device 100 can display a mark on the icon of the folder 5001 to prompt the user that the folder 5001 has been selected. For example, as FIG. 5A The electronic device 100 can display a mark 5002 on the icon of the folder 5001 shown.

[0338] For example, the target fill vacancy can be FIG. 5J The fill vacancy where the user's finger is located shown.

[0339] S502C. If the shape formed by the number of fill vacancies near the target fill vacancy does not include the shape of the first folder, and the number of fill vacancies in the horizontal and vertical directions of the target fill vacancy is less than a first value, the electronic device 100 displays a second folder at the target fill vacancy, and displays application icons of a plurality of applications in the second folder.

[0340] If the shape formed by the number of fill vacancies near the target fill vacancy does not include the shape of the first folder, and the number of fill vacancies in the horizontal and vertical directions of the target fill vacancy is less than a first value, the electronic device 100 can generate a minimum unit folder, the minimum unit folder includes one fill vacancy, and display the minimum unit folder at the target fill vacancy.

[0341] For example, the second folder can be FIG. 5K The folder 5007 shown.

[0342] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can also receive a user operation of moving the display position of the card displayed on the desktop. Specifically, the implementation is similar to that the electronic device 100 receives a user operation of moving the display position of the file displayed on the desktop, which can be referred to FIGS. 5A-5I In the description of the embodiments, the present application is not described here.
