Detailed Implementation

[0010] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0011] To address the issue that the process of generating a folder containing multiple application icons is too cumbersome, this application provides a generation method. Figure 1 This application provides a flowchart illustrating the interaction of a generation method, which is applied to the control center or processor of a smart terminal. Figure 1 As shown, this method can be implemented through S101 to S103: S101, in response to a movement operation on the first application icon, obtain the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation.

[0012] In the embodiments of this application, the first application icon can be any independent application icon or folder application icon in the smart terminal. An independent application icon refers to an application icon that can be launched directly by clicking the icon. For example, it can be a music icon, calendar icon, calculator icon, etc. on common smart terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, and smartwatches.

[0013] In the embodiments of this application, when a user moves the first application icon, they can first perform a long press operation on the first application icon. When the first application icon responds to the long press operation and enters a picked-up state, the touch point of the long press operation can be moved to form a movement operation, thereby moving the first application icon. As the first application icon moves following the movement operation, a movement trajectory can be formed. In this way, the control center or processor of the smart terminal can obtain the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation. In addition, to increase the user's recognition of the movement trajectory of the first application icon, the movement trajectory can be displayed on the mobile terminal. Furthermore, considering that the first application icon has a certain size, its actual dragging trajectory is a bar area. Therefore, a relatively recognizable feature point in the application icon (such as the center point, corner point, or the trigger point of picking up the application icon) can be taken as the determination point of the movement trajectory. When generating and displaying the movement trajectory of the first application icon, only the movement trajectory of the feature point is generated and displayed.

[0014] S102, determine that the movement trajectory meets the target conditions, and obtain at least one second application icon marked on the movement trajectory.

[0015] In the embodiments of this application, the movement trajectory formed by the user dragging the first application icon can be used to mark other application icons. When the marking is successful, the target condition is met. That is, the target condition can characterize the conditions for successfully marking an application icon. For example, when the movement trajectory successfully circles at least one application icon or successfully penetrates at least one application icon, it can be considered a successful marking. When the movement trajectory meets the above target condition, at least one second application icon marked by the movement trajectory can be obtained. The second application icon can be an application icon other than the first application icon. For example, if the first application icon is a music application icon, the second application icon can be a chat software application icon, an office software application icon, a video application icon, etc. It should be noted that the second application icon can also be a clone icon formed by an application clone.

[0016] In one possible embodiment, the state of the movement trajectory can be determined before determining at least one second application icon marked on the movement trajectory. When the movement trajectory no longer changes over a period of time, the movement operation on the first application icon is considered terminated, at which point at least one second application icon marked on the movement trajectory can be determined.

[0017] S103, Generate a target folder containing a first application icon and at least one second application icon.

[0018] In embodiments of this application, after determining at least one second application icon marked by the movement trajectory, the first application icon and the at least one second application icon can be placed in a folder to generate a new target folder. The name of the target folder can be a default name or a folder name generated based on the application attributes corresponding to the first and second application icons, respectively. The location of the target folder can be the initial position of the first application icon, the ending position of the first application icon's movement, or a preset application icon position near the ending position.

[0019] In one possible embodiment, the target folder icon may be the same size as the preset application icon; the folder background may be transparent and may display a thumbnail of at least one application icon contained therein.

[0020] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, at least one second application icon can be marked by dragging the movement trajectory formed by the first application icon, and both the first and second application icons can be placed into the newly generated target folder. This greatly simplifies the folder generation process. Users can put multiple application icons into a folder by dragging once, which can reduce the cumbersomeness of folder generation to a certain extent and improve the user experience.

[0021] In some embodiments, the target condition may include a closure condition or a penetration condition, and S102 may include one of S121 and S122: S121, Determine that the movement trajectory meets the closure condition, and determine the application icon enclosed by the movement trajectory as the second application icon.

[0022] In the embodiments of this application, the closure condition can refer to the movement trajectory forming at least one closed shape. In the closure condition, it is not necessary for the starting and ending points of the movement trajectory to completely coincide. Considering that users cannot normally draw two completely identical movement trajectories, if the movement trajectories have intersecting points, it can be considered that the movement trajectory forms a closed shape.

[0023] In the embodiments of this application, the closure condition can refer to the movement trajectory forming at least one approximately closed shape. In the closure condition, it is not necessary for the starting and ending points of the movement trajectory to completely coincide; it is sufficient as long as the arc of the movement trajectory exceeds 270 degrees.

[0024] In the embodiments of this application, if the movement trajectory meets the closure condition, it means that the user wants to mark the icon in a way that surrounds the icon. At this time, the application icon surrounded by the movement trajectory can be determined as the second application icon.

[0025] S122, Determine that the movement trajectory meets the penetration condition, and determine the application icon that the movement trajectory passes through as the second application icon.

[0026] In the embodiments of this application, the penetration condition can refer to the movement trajectory passing through an application icon. Compared to the closure condition, the content setting of the penetration condition is much simpler. When the movement trajectory meets the penetration condition, the application icon passed through by the movement trajectory can be identified as the second application icon.

[0027] In one possible embodiment, considering that the movement trajectory may penetrate some application icons when forming a closed shape, but when the movement trajectory forms a closed shape, the user's intention is to circle and surround the icons, not to penetrate them. Therefore, it is possible to first determine whether the movement trajectory meets the closure condition. If the closure condition is met, it is no longer necessary to determine whether the movement trajectory meets the penetration condition. If the closure condition is not met, it is necessary to determine whether the movement trajectory meets the penetration condition. If the movement trajectory meets neither the closure condition nor the penetration condition, then the movement trajectory is an invalid trajectory, and the first application icon can be restored to its position before the movement.

[0028] In one possible embodiment, only one target condition (i.e., a closing condition or a penetration condition) can be set in the smart terminal to simplify the process of generating folders.

[0029] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, target conditions can be constructed through closure conditions and / or penetration conditions, and the second application icon marked by the movement trajectory can be determined through the above two conditions, which can improve the marking accuracy of the second application icon of the movement trajectory to a certain extent.

[0030] In some embodiments, "determining that the movement trajectory satisfies the closure condition" in S121 can be achieved through step A1: Step A1: If the movement trajectory forms at least one closed area, and at least one closed area includes at least one application icon, then the movement trajectory is determined to meet the closure condition.

[0031] In the embodiments of this application, considering that the closed area formed by the movement trajectory may not contain any application icons, which may be caused by user error, an additional determination can be made based on the formation of a closed area: whether the closed area contains at least one application icon. If the movement trajectory forms at least one closed area, and at least one closed area contains at least one application icon, then the movement trajectory can be determined to meet the closure condition.

[0032] In some embodiments, "determining that the movement trajectory satisfies the penetration condition" in S122 can be achieved through step B1: Step B1: If the movement trajectory does not form a closed area, determine that the movement trajectory meets the penetration condition.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, if the movement trajectory does not form a closed area, it can be determined that the movement trajectory meets the penetration condition.

[0034] In one possible embodiment, when the penetration condition is determined to be met in this way, the movement trajectory may not have marked any application icon through penetration. In this case, the movement trajectory is invalid, and the first application icon can be restored to its position before the movement.

[0035] In one possible embodiment, to improve the accuracy of determining whether a movement trajectory meets the penetration condition, additional conditions can be added. For example, one way to determine this is: if the movement trajectory does not form a closed area and penetrates at least one application icon, then the movement trajectory can be determined to meet the penetration condition.

[0036] In one possible embodiment, it can be prioritized to determine whether the movement trajectory meets the closure condition. If the closure condition is not met, and the movement trajectory does not form a closed area, then the movement trajectory can be determined to meet the penetration condition.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, it is possible to determine whether the movement trajectory meets the closure condition or the penetration condition by whether the movement trajectory forms a closed area and whether the closed area contains an application icon, which can improve the accuracy of the determination of the closure condition or the penetration condition to a certain extent.

[0038] Based on the above implementation methods, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a generation method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 The above S121 may also include steps S211 and S212: Step S211: Determine the set of region pixel positions corresponding to at least one closed region, and the set of icon pixel positions corresponding to each application icon.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, to determine whether an application icon is contained within a closed area, pixel positions can be used to first determine at least one set of region pixel positions corresponding to each closed area. The number of region pixel position sets can be the same as the number of closed areas. Simultaneously, the set of icon pixel positions corresponding to each application icon can also be determined. Determining these two sets of pixel positions can be achieved by establishing a planar coordinate system on the smart terminal display panel and then traversing the closed areas and application icons.

[0040] Step S212: If there is a target location set contained in the region pixel location set among the various icon pixel location sets, determine that at least one application icon is included in at least one closed region.

[0041] In embodiments of this application, the icon pixel location set can be traversed to determine whether each icon pixel location set is contained within at least one region pixel location set. If every pixel location in one icon pixel location set is contained within one region pixel location set, it can be considered that the icon pixel location set contains a target location set contained within the region pixel location set. Since each image pixel location set corresponds to an application icon, in this case, it can be determined that at least one closed region contains at least one application icon.

[0042] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, the location of pixels can be used to determine whether an application icon is contained in a closed area, which can improve the accuracy of determining whether an application icon is contained in a closed area to a certain extent.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a generation method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 At least one second application icon includes at least one folder icon, S103, which can be achieved through S131 and S132: S131, determine that at least one folder icon corresponds to a folder containing a third application icon.

[0044] In embodiments of this application, if the second application icon includes at least one folder icon, to avoid nested folders that would make clicking icons within folders cumbersome for users, the third application icon contained in the folder corresponding to the marked at least one folder icon can be determined first. For example, if the marked folder icon includes both a music application icon and a video application icon, then both the music application icon and the video application icon can be determined as the third application icon.

[0045] S132, generate a target folder containing at least one second application icon other than at least one folder icon, a first application icon, and a third application icon.

[0046] In embodiments of this application, after determining the third application icon, all application icons other than at least one folder icon from at least one second application icon, the first application icon, and the third application icon can be placed into the newly generated target folder. This avoids generating subfolders within the existing folder.

[0047] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, when marking folder icons on the movement trajectory, the icons in the marked folder can be placed together with other marked second application icons and first application icons into a newly generated target folder, which can avoid generating subfolders, improve the efficiency of users clicking on icons in folders, and enhance the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, S103 can also be implemented by one of S133 and S134: S133, at the end of the movement trajectory, generate a target folder containing a first application icon and at least one second application icon.

[0049] In the embodiments of this application, to avoid randomly determining the generation location of the target folder, the generation location of the folder can be determined before the folder is generated. Generally, it can be assumed that the final position after the user drags the first application icon (i.e., the end position of the movement trajectory) is the position where the user wants to generate the folder. Therefore, the generation location of the target folder can be set to the end position of the movement trajectory, and a target folder containing the first application icon and at least one second application icon can be generated at this end position.

[0050] In one possible embodiment, if the end position of the movement trajectory is contained within the set of icon pixel positions of the folder icon, the end folder position icon can be retained, and other second application icons besides that folder icon and the first application icon can be placed into the folder corresponding to that folder icon. Furthermore, if the second application icon contains other folder icons, the method described in S131 and S132 can be used to place the application icons inside the folders corresponding to the other folder icons into the folder corresponding to the end folder icon.

[0051] S134, determine the distance between multiple specified icon positions on the application page where the end position is located and the end position, and generate a target folder containing a first application icon and at least one second application icon at the specified icon position corresponding to the minimum distance.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, considering that the endpoint may not be within the range of application icon locations specified on the smart terminal, the distance between the endpoint and multiple specified icon locations on the application page where the endpoint is located can be determined. The specified icon locations can be blank spaces without actual application icons; the distance can be the distance between the center point of the endpoint and the specified icon locations. After obtaining this distance, the minimum distance can be found, and the specified icon location corresponding to this minimum distance can be used as the folder generation location to generate a target folder containing a first application icon and at least one second application icon.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, the end position of the movement trajectory or the designated icon position closest to the end position can be used as the generation position of the target folder, and a target folder containing a first application icon and at least one second application icon can be generated at that position. This can avoid the random determination of the target folder position to a certain extent, so that the generation position of the target folder can match the user's intention, thereby improving the accuracy and readability of the target folder position and enhancing the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a generation method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 4 S101 can be implemented through S111 to S114: S111, in response to a movement operation on the first application icon, obtain the first movement trajectory of the first application icon on the first display page; the first application icon is located within the first display page.

[0055] In the embodiments of this application, if a large number of applications are installed in a smart terminal, it is impossible to display all application icons on a single display page. Therefore, a smart terminal can contain multiple display pages. The first display page can refer to the display page on the smart terminal that contains the first application icon. When the first application icon begins to move, a first movement trajectory can be formed on the first display page. In this way, the control center of the smart terminal can obtain the first movement trajectory of the first application icon on the first display page.

[0056] S112, when the first movement trajectory intersects with the edge of the first display page, the current display page is switched from the first display page to the second display page; the second display page and the first display page are adjacent desktops.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, the edge of the first display page can refer to the edge of the first display page adjacent to other display pages. For example, if the display page of the smart terminal switches from the first display page to the second display page when the first page is moved to the left, then the right edge of the first page (that is, the left edge of the second display page after switching to the second display page) is the edge between the first display page and the second display page. If the first movement trajectory intersects with the edge of the first display page, it can be assumed that the user wants to mark the application icon contained in the second display page adjacent to the first display page. Therefore, the current display page can be switched from the first display page to the second display page. The second display page and the first display page are adjacent desktops of the same smart terminal.

[0058] S113, obtain the second movement trajectory of the first application icon on the second display page.

[0059] In the embodiments of this application, after the current display page switches to the second display page, the pick-up position of the first application icon will change to its position on the second display page. At this time, the control center can continue to acquire the second movement trajectory of the first application icon on the second display page. Specifically, after the current display page switches to the second display page, the initial position of the first application icon on the second display page can be the position where the edges of the first application icon intersect with the edges of the first display page. For example, if the first application icon intersects with the right edge of the first display page, then after the current display page switches to the second display page, the initial position of the first application icon is the right edge position of the second display page. If the user maintains this position for a duration exceeding a threshold duration, page turning will continue. If the user drags the first application icon away from the right edge position of the second display page within the threshold duration, the current display page remains the second display page.

[0060] S114, Based on the first movement trajectory and the second movement trajectory, determine the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation.

[0061] In the embodiments of this application, for the first and second movement trajectories formed by different display pages, if both the first and second movement trajectories are valid trajectories, then both the first and second movement trajectories can be used as the movement trajectories corresponding to the movement operation. If one of the first and second movement trajectories is invalid, then only the valid trajectory between the first and second movement trajectories can be used as the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation. The implementation details of invalid trajectories can be found in the embodiments under S122 and step B1, and will not be repeated here.

[0062] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, when the first application icon moves and triggers a cross-page, two segments of movement trajectories of the two display pages before and after the cross-page can be obtained, and the final movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation can be determined based on the two segments of movement trajectories. To a certain extent, this can improve the applicability of the movement trajectory, improve the accuracy of the movement trajectory, improve the operability of the movement trajectory, and further enhance the user experience.

[0063] In some embodiments, S114 can be achieved through steps C1 and C2: Step C1: If the second movement trajectory does not intersect with the edge, the first and second movement trajectories are jointly determined as the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation.

[0064] In the embodiments of this application, "edge" refers to the intersecting edge of the first display page and the second display page. Since the initial position of the second movement trajectory is the right edge of the second display page, the intersecting edge of the second display page with the first display page is the left edge of the second display page. If the second movement trajectory does not intersect with the intersecting edge of the first and second display pages, it can be assumed that the user intends to mark the application icon on the second display page. Therefore, the first and second movement trajectories can be jointly determined as the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation.

[0065] Step C2: If the second movement trajectory intersects with the edge, delete the second movement trajectory and determine the first movement trajectory as the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation.

[0066] In the embodiments of this application, considering that users may accidentally touch the edge and cause page turning, if the second movement trajectory intersects with the aforementioned edge (i.e., the intersection edge of the first display page and the second display page), it can be assumed that the user wants to switch back to the first display page. At this time, the second movement trajectory can be deleted, and only the first movement trajectory can be determined as the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation.

[0067] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, when a smart terminal switches from a first display page to a second display page, the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation can be obtained by selecting from the first and second movement trajectories based on whether the second movement trajectory on the second display page intersects with the edge. To a certain extent, this can make the movement trajectory corresponding to the movement operation more in line with the user's intention and further improve the accuracy of the movement trajectory.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating a generation method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 5 S103 may also include a process for generating folder names, which may specifically include S135 to S138: S135, obtain the applications corresponding to the first application icon and the second application icon respectively.

[0069] In the embodiments of this application, the generated folder typically has a folder name. To match this folder name with the application icons it contains, the applications corresponding to the first and second application icons can first be obtained. Here, an application refers to a specific application on a smart terminal, such as a specific music application, a specific video application, a specific game application, a specific shopping application, etc.

[0070] S136, Determine the common application attributes of the application; common application attributes characterize the common uses of the application.

[0071] In the embodiments of this application, after obtaining the applications corresponding to the first application icon and the second application icon respectively, the common application attributes of these applications can be determined. These common application attributes can characterize the common uses of the applications. Each application's application attributes can typically be stored as metadata in the application's registry; therefore, the application attributes of each application can be obtained by reading its registry. Alternatively, the application attributes of each application can be obtained through the application store's application classification information. Then, based on these application attributes, the common application attributes shared by these applications can be identified. For example, if game applications, music applications, and video applications all belong to entertainment applications, then entertainment is a common application attribute for game applications, music applications, and video applications; if music applications and video applications both belong to audiovisual applications, then audiovisual is a common application attribute for music applications and video applications. This common application attribute can be the minimum common classification attribute of each application.

[0072] S137, Determine the target folder name based on shared application attributes.

[0073] In the embodiments of this application, after obtaining the common application attributes of the application, the target folder name can be determined based on the common application attributes. For example, if the common application attribute is entertainment, the target folder name can be "Entertainment Application"; if the common application attribute is audio-visual, the target folder name can be "Audio-visual Application".

[0074] S138, Generate a target folder containing the first application icon and the second application icon, and whose folder name is the target folder name.

[0075] In the embodiments of this application, when generating a target folder containing a first application icon and a second application icon, the folder name of the target folder can be set to the target folder name obtained in S137.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, the folder name of the newly created folder can be determined according to the common application attributes of the applications corresponding to the first and second application icons marked by the movement trajectory. This can improve the readability and recognizability of the target folder to a certain extent and further enhance the user experience.

[0077] Based on the above embodiments, the method in S103 may further include: S139, If there are no shared application attributes between applications, determine the click frequency of the second application icon.

[0078] In the embodiments of this application, considering that the applications marked by users may not have common application attributes, in order to ensure that the name of the target folder can still be more in line with the user's usage habits, the click frequency of the second application icon can be determined first based on the user's historical usage data of the smart terminal.

[0079] S1310, determine the second application icon whose click frequency is greater than or equal to the target threshold as the target application icon.

[0080] In embodiments of this application, if the click frequency of the second application icon is greater than or equal to a target threshold, then the second application icon can be determined as the target application icon. It can be assumed that the application corresponding to the target application icon is an application frequently used by the user.

[0081] For example, if the statistical period is set to weekly and the target threshold is set to 3 clicks per week, then when the click frequency of a game application icon exceeds 3 times per week, the game application icon can be identified as the target application icon.

[0082] S1311, determine the first application type of the application corresponding to the target application icon and the second application type of the application corresponding to the first application icon.

[0083] In the embodiments of this application, since the first application icon is triggered by the user's primary click, its click frequency can be disregarded. Thus, after determining the target application icon based on the click frequency, both the first application type corresponding to the target icon and the second application type corresponding to the first application icon can be considered. The first and second application types can include all possible category information for the application. This narrows down the statistical scope of the application and makes it easier to find common category information.

[0084] For example, a specific music app can be either an audio-visual app or an entertainment app. Similarly, a specific short video app can be either an audio-visual app, an entertainment app, or a social app.

[0085] S1312, Generate target name based on first application type and second application type.

[0086] In the embodiments of this application, for the first application type and the second application type, firstly, common classification information between the first application type and the second application type can be found, and then, a target name can be generated based on the common classification information. Furthermore, if there is no common classification information between the first application type and the second application type, the target name can be a default name, such as "Folder 1", "Folder 2", etc.

[0087] S1313, Generate a target folder containing the first application icon and the second application icon, and the folder name is the target name.

[0088] In the embodiments of this application, when generating a target folder containing a first application icon and a second application icon, the folder name of the target folder can be set to the target name obtained in S1312.

[0089] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, when the applications corresponding to the first application icon and the second application icon do not have common application attributes, the statistical range of the second application icon can be narrowed by the frequency of user clicks on the second application icon. The target name can be generated by the common category information of the target application icon after narrowing the range and the application corresponding to the first application icon. At the same time, it supports generating a default name when there is no common category information. To a certain extent, it can improve the matching degree between the name of the target folder and the user's usage habits, and further improve the user experience.

[0090] The following describes the application of the generation method provided in the embodiments of this application in a real-world scenario.

[0091] Currently, creating a folder on the desktop requires multiple steps. You either have to drag one application onto another to create a folder and then add more to it, or click on multiple icons and then click to create a folder. This process requires at least two stages and is quite cumbersome.

[0092] To address the above issues, this embodiment proposes: Drag an icon to circle one or more other icons. Releasing the drag creates a folder at the release point containing all circled icons and the dragged icon. When the dragged path includes multiple closed regions, the icons within each closed region are placed into a separate folder. The dragging path can be displayed during the dragging process. If the drag path does not completely enclose an application icon, those icons will not be placed in the newly created folder. If the drag path circles a folder, the icons within that folder, along with other circled icons, will be placed into the newly created folder. Furthermore, regardless of whether the circled icons correspond to the same type of application, they will all be placed in the newly created folder.

[0093] The specific steps for determining the circled icon are as follows: 1) First, capture the current screen screenshot, where the current screen screenshot refers to the screenshot of the display page where the icon is dragged; 2) Based on the dragging trajectory, the closed-loop outline drawn by the hand is found through the edge detection algorithm. In order to avoid detecting the edge of the icon, a unique display color of the dragging trajectory can be set, and the hue characteristics of the edge detection operator can be specified through this display color. 3) By using template matching, the icon inside the circle is matched with the icon template of known icons, thereby identifying the type of icon drawn in the circle; 4) A folder with the default name "Folder1" will be created at the location where you release the button.

[0094] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a display page provided in an embodiment of this application. The user drags icon 602 away from its original position 601, creating a movement trajectory. During the movement, icon 602 first circles icon 603, forming a closed area 604, and then circles icons 605 and 606, forming a closed area 607. The end position of the movement trajectory is position 608; therefore, the generated folder is located at position 608. The generated folder (not shown in the figure) may include icons 602, 603, 605, and 606.
