Description

Terminal desktop display method, computer-readable storage medium, and electronic device

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410008267.9 filed with the China Patent Office on January 3, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to but is not limited to the field of terminal technology. Background Art

[0004] In existing terminal systems, applications are generally started by performing corresponding operations on application icons. Therefore, the interactive interface (i.e., desktop) of the terminal system displays application icons corresponding to various applications. However, after a large number of applications are installed in the terminal system, the desktop will appear overcrowded.

[0005] In this regard, an existing solution is to classify application icons and display application icons of the same category in a folder, thereby reducing the number of application icons displayed on the desktop.

[0006] At the same time, existing terminal systems manage notification messages and application messages through notifications. For example, users can be reminded to pay attention to relevant notification messages and / or application messages by turning on or off notification permissions. However, existing notifications appear in the notification bar, which has a limited display area and may not be able to display all notifications. Moreover, the notifications in the notification bar are not categorized and are very messy, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0007] In addition, in many cases, users do not launch an application to use all of its functions, but may only want to use some simple functions of the application, or just to obtain some information. If the application can only be launched in one way, it will result in higher power consumption and more performance loss.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the terminal desktop display method, computer-readable storage medium, and electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example embodiments will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the example embodiments may be embodied in different forms, and the present application should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. These embodiments are provided to make this application more thorough and complete and to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the scope of this application.

[0037] In the absence of conflict, the various embodiments of the present application and the various features therein may be combined with each other. As used herein, the terms "at least one", "and / or", etc. include any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0038] It should be understood that the terms used herein are only used to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. Although the terms "first", "second", etc. are used herein to describe elements (e.g., weighted fusion), these elements are not limited to these terms, and these terms do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are only used to distinguish. For example, without departing from the scope of the present application, some of the operations in the first to twelfth operations can be interchangeable with each other, the first type application and the second type application can be interchangeable with each other, and so on.

[0039] In addition, as used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Depending on the context, the terms "if," "in response to," and the like as used herein may be interpreted as "during," or "when." It will also be understood that the term "comprising" as used in this specification specifies the presence of certain features, entities, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, entities, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

It will also be understood that terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and this application, and will not be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning unless expressly defined as such herein.

[0041] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a terminal desktop display method, as shown in Figure 1, including the steps of: S1, obtaining and displaying a card component of an application, wherein the card component includes at least one function control of the application; S2, in response to a first operation on the card component, displaying a first application interface of the application, wherein the number of function controls included in the first application interface is greater than the number of function controls included in the card component; and S3, in response to a second operation on the card component or in response to a third operation on the first application interface, displaying a second application interface of the application, wherein the number of function controls included in the second application interface is greater than the number of function controls included in the first application interface, wherein each function control calls at least one function of the application in response to user input.

[0042] The terminal desktop display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a terminal system (for example, a mobile terminal system), thereby optimizing the interactive interface of the terminal system, providing convenience for users, improving user experience, and minimizing power consumption and performance loss of the terminal system.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the function control refers to an interactive interface that can receive user operations (e.g., user input) to trigger and call at least one function of the application. It should be understood that the function of the application may include providing or displaying other related function controls (e.g., sub-function controls).

[0044] The cardized component, the first application interface, and the second application interface can be defined and implemented by the application developer during the application development phase or after the application is developed, for example, based on user needs, terminal system requirements, etc., and can be bound to the application or embedded in the application. When the application is being installed or has been installed on the terminal system, the terminal system can interact with the application to obtain the cardized component, the first application interface, and the second application interface corresponding to the application.

[0045] In step S1, the terminal system may interact with an application that is being installed or has been installed in the terminal system to obtain a card component of the application and display the card component on an interactive interface (ie, desktop) of the terminal system.

[0046] As shown in Figure 2, the card-based component includes at least one functional control of the application, that is, the card-based component intuitively displays at least one functional control of the application (for example, functional control 1). Without performing additional operations on the card-based component, the user can interact with the application corresponding to the card-based component through the at least one functional control (for example, functional control 1) of the card-based component, and can trigger and call the corresponding function of the application.

[0047] That is to say, the card-based component described in the embodiment of the present application can actually be understood as a simplified mode of the application to which it corresponds. Users can directly interact with the application to which they correspond through the card-based component, trigger and call the brief or key functions of the application without performing additional operations on the card-based component.

[0048] In step S2, if the user performs a first operation on the card component, the terminal system calls and displays a first application interface of the application corresponding to the card component.

[0049] As shown in Figure 2, for the same application, the first application interface includes more function controls than the card component. That is, the first application interface intuitively displays multiple (at least two) function controls (e.g., function control 1 and function control 2) of the corresponding application. Without performing additional operations on the first application interface, the user can directly interact with the corresponding application through each function control (e.g., function control 1 and function control 2) of the first application interface, and can trigger and call the corresponding function of the application.

[0050] That is to say, compared with the card component, the first application interface can be understood as a more complex mode of the application to which it corresponds. Users can directly interact with the corresponding application through the first application interface, trigger and call more functions of the application without performing additional operations on the first application interface.

[0051] However, it should be understood that the first application interface may include some functional controls of the corresponding application, which can realize some functions of the application. Therefore, when the user only needs to use some functions of the application, there is no need to start all the functions of the application, which can reduce the resource usage of the terminal system, improve system performance, and reduce the power consumption and performance loss of the terminal system.

[0052] Here, the first operation may be a single-click operation on the card component. For example, depending on the functionality of the terminal, the card component may be single-clicked using a touch terminal (e.g., a finger, a stylus), or an input device such as a mouse. The single-click operation may be a single click operation lasting less than a first predetermined duration (e.g., 1 second). The value of the first predetermined duration can be set as needed and is not limited in this application.

[0053] In step S3, if the user performs a second operation on the card component, or performs a third operation on the first application interface corresponding to the card component, the terminal system calls and displays the second application interface of the application corresponding to the card component.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3, for the same application, the second application interface includes more function controls than the card component and the first application interface. That is, the second application interface intuitively displays more function controls (e.g., function control 1, function control 2, function control 3, function control 4) of the application to which it corresponds. Without performing additional operations on the second application interface, the user can directly interact with the corresponding application through each function control (e.g., function control 1, function control 2, function control 3, function control 4) of the second application interface, and can trigger and call the corresponding function of the application.

[0055] That is to say, compared with the card component and the first application interface, the second application interface can be understood as a more complex mode of the application to which it corresponds. Users can directly interact with the corresponding application through the second application interface, trigger and call more comprehensive functions of the application without performing additional operations on the second application interface.

[0056] Here, the second operation is different from the first operation, and the third operation may be the same as or different from the first operation, and may also be the same as or different from the second operation.

[0057] As an example, the second operation may be a double-click operation on the card component. For example, depending on the function of the terminal, the card component may be double-clicked through a touch terminal (such as a finger, a stylus), or an input device such as a mouse. The double-click operation may be two consecutive click operations, and the time interval between the two click operations may be less than a second predetermined duration (such as 1.5 seconds), and the duration of each click operation may be less than the first predetermined duration (such as 1 second). Similarly, this application does not limit the value of the second predetermined duration, and the second predetermined duration may be the same as or different from the first predetermined duration.

[0058] In addition, for a terminal that can accept gesture operations (eg, a terminal with a touch function), the third operation may be a zoom-in operation on the first application interface using a two-finger pinch gesture, which will not be described in detail here.

[0059] It should be understood that the second application interface can include all functional controls of the corresponding application and can implement all functions of the application. That is, the second application interface can be the complete interactive interface of the application, and the user can trigger and call all functions of the application through the second application interface. Of course, as needed, the second application interface can also be a partial interactive interface of the application, and this application is not limited to this.

[0060] Although the accompanying drawings show the types and quantities of functional controls respectively included in the card component, the first application interface, and the second application interface, the drawings are only examples. In the terminal desktop display method of the embodiment of the present application, the types and quantities of functional controls respectively included / displayed in the card component, the first application interface, and the second application interface are not limited to the examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0061] In actual applications, the card component may include or intuitively display buttons corresponding to the first operation and / or the second operation, and the first application interface may include or intuitively display buttons corresponding to the third operation, so that the first operation, the second operation and / or the third operation can be click operations on the corresponding buttons (for example, the enlargement button).

[0062] This application does not limit the first operation, the second operation and the third operation, as long as they can trigger and implement switching between the various interactive interfaces corresponding to the application.

[0063] According to the terminal desktop display method provided by the embodiment of the present application, each application can be displayed as a different interactive interface (including the card component, the first application interface and the second application interface) on the terminal desktop. Different interactive interfaces correspond to different modes of the application, so that the user can switch the interactive interface of each application displayed on the terminal desktop as needed, and trigger and call different degrees of functions in different modes of the application through the different interactive interfaces corresponding to each application. For example, when the card component of the application is displayed on the terminal desktop, the user can trigger and call the brief or key functions of the application through at least one function control of the card component; when the first application interface of the application is displayed on the terminal desktop, the user can trigger and call more functions of the application through multiple (at least two) function controls of the first application interface; and when the second application interface of the application is displayed on the terminal desktop, the user can trigger and call more comprehensive functions of the application through more function spaces of the second application interface. In this way, the terminal system can provide different degrees of functions for each application according to user needs, thereby providing convenience for the user, improving the user experience, and reducing the power consumption and performance loss of the terminal system.

[0064] In some embodiments, if the user performs the fourth operation on the first application interface or the fifth operation on the second application interface, the terminal system calls and displays the card component of the application corresponding to the first application interface or the second application interface; if the user performs the sixth operation on the second application interface, the terminal system calls and displays the first application interface of the application corresponding to the second application interface.

[0065] That is, as shown in FIG4 , using the terminal desktop display method of the embodiment of the present application, different interactive interfaces of each application (including the card component, the first application interface, and the second application interface) can be switched with each other.

[0066] Here, the fifth operation is different from the sixth operation, and the fourth operation may be the same as or different from the fifth operation, and may also be the same as or different from the sixth operation.

[0067] Similarly, in actual applications, the first application interface may include or intuitively display a button corresponding to the fourth operation, and the second application interface may include or intuitively display a button corresponding to the fifth operation and / or the sixth operation, so that the fourth operation, the fifth operation and / or the sixth operation can be a click operation on the corresponding button (for example, the zoom out button).

[0068] This application does not limit the fourth operation, the fifth operation and the sixth operation, as long as they can trigger and implement switching between the various interactive interfaces corresponding to the application.

[0069] In some embodiments, in step S1, obtaining and displaying the carded components of the application includes: obtaining and displaying multiple carded components of multiple applications, each carded component corresponding to one application; and grouping the multiple carded components according to the types of the multiple applications, so that the carded components corresponding to each type of application are grouped together and displayed as a card, wherein each carded component is displayed in an area of ​​the card to which it corresponds.

[0070] For example, the type of each application can be determined based on the functional attributes of the application or specified by the user. For example, the terminal system can interact with applications that are being installed or have been installed in the terminal system to obtain the functional attributes of each application and automatically classify each application based on the functional attributes of each application. Alternatively, the user can interact with the terminal system to specify the types of all or some applications, so that the terminal system can classify each application based on the user's specifications.

[0071] Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of a card in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5, the carded components corresponding to the first type of applications (for example, including applications 1 to 3) are grouped together and displayed as a card (i.e., the card of the first type of applications), and the carded components corresponding to the second type of applications (for example, including applications 11 to 13) are grouped together and displayed as a card (i.e., the card of the second type of applications), with each application displayed as a carded component within the card.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the user may not operate the card, but directly perform the above-mentioned first operation and / or second operation on any cardized component in the card, or directly operate any function control of any cardized component in the card, thereby triggering and calling the corresponding function.

[0073] In actual applications, the first type of application may include many applications, but the cards of the first type of application may only display the card components corresponding to some applications at a time. In this case, the terminal desktop display method of the embodiment of the present application may also include: in response to the seventh operation on the card, switching the card component displayed by the card.

[0074] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of a card in an embodiment of the present application switching the carded components it displays. As shown in Figure 6, the first type of application includes application 1 to application 6, but the card of the first type of application can only display the carded components corresponding to up to 3 applications at a time. The user can perform a seventh operation on the card to switch the carded components displayed by the card. For example, the card can switch from displaying the carded components corresponding to application 1 to application 3 to displaying the carded components corresponding to application 4 to application 6, or the card can switch from displaying the carded components corresponding to application 4 to application 6 to displaying the carded components corresponding to application 1 to application 3.

[0075] Here, as an example, the seventh operation may be a sliding operation (eg, left sliding, right sliding, up sliding, down sliding).

[0076] Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of a card switching the cardized components displayed in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 7, the first type of application includes application 1 to application N, but the card of the first type of application can only display the cardized components corresponding to up to 3 applications at a time. The user can perform a seventh operation on the card to switch the cardized components displayed by the card. For example, the card can switch from displaying the cardized components corresponding to application 1 to application 3 to displaying the cardized components corresponding to application 3 to application 6, or the card can switch from displaying the cardized components corresponding to application 3 to application 6 to displaying the cardized components corresponding to application 1 to application 3, wherein the cardized components corresponding to application 3 and application 6 may be displayed incompletely.

[0077] Here, as an example, the seventh operation may be a sliding (eg, sliding up, sliding down) operation.

[0078] It should be understood that N can be a positive integer greater than 6. In fact, depending on the needs, N can be a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. Accordingly, the number of carded components displayed in each card can be adjusted. That is, compared with the figure, the first type of application may include more or fewer applications, and the card of the first type of application may be able to display carded components corresponding to more or fewer applications at a time. This application is not limited to this.

[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the card component corresponding to any application may further include a display bar configured to display notification information.

[0080] Exemplarily, the notification information may include at least one of prompt information prompting the user to update the application, information pushed by the application (e.g., news), information received by the application (e.g., text messages, WeChat), or user-defined information (e.g., schedule reminders).

[0081] It should be understood that the card component may include one or more display bars configured to display notification information. For example, when the card component includes one display bar configured to display notification information, or when the number of display bars included in the card component is less than the type and / or amount of notification information to be displayed, the notification information displayed in the display bar may be updated based on at least one of the type of notification information, the arrival time of the notification information, or user-defined rules.

[0082] Of course, in the case where the card component includes multiple display bars configured to display notification information, the notification information can be categorized so that each display bar displays different categories of notification information (eg, in different ways).

[0083] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG9 , if the user performs the eighth operation on the card component corresponding to any application, the terminal system may switch from displaying the card component of the application to displaying the application icon of the application. Conversely, if the user performs the eighth operation on the application icon of the application, the terminal system may also switch from displaying the application icon of the application to displaying the card component of the application.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10 , if the user performs the ninth operation on a card of any type of application (e.g., a first type of application), the terminal system may switch from displaying the card to displaying a corresponding folder, and display each carded component in the set of carded components corresponding to the card as an application icon of the application corresponding thereto, wherein the application icon is displayed in the folder. Conversely, if the user performs the ninth operation on a folder displayed on the terminal desktop, the terminal system may switch from displaying the folder to displaying a corresponding card, and display each application icon in the set of application icons contained in the folder as a carded component of the application corresponding thereto, wherein the carded component is displayed in the card.

[0085] That is, the terminal system can switch the desktop display mode according to the user operation. As an example, the eighth operation can be a long press operation on the card component or the application icon, and the long press operation can be an operation of continuously pressing the card component or the application icon for a predetermined time (for example, greater than 2 seconds). The ninth operation can be the same as or different from the eighth operation and will not be described in detail here.

[0086] In some embodiments, if the user performs the tenth operation on the card component corresponding to any application, the terminal system can switch the function controls intuitively displayed by the card component; if the user performs the eleventh operation on the first application interface corresponding to any application, the terminal system can switch the function controls intuitively displayed by the first application interface; if the user performs the twelfth operation on the second application interface corresponding to any application, the terminal system can switch the function controls intuitively displayed by the second application interface.

[0087] Here, the tenth operation, the eleventh operation, and the twelfth operation may be the same or different.

[0088] Similar to the seventh operation described above, the tenth operation, the eleventh operation and / or the twelfth operation may be corresponding sliding operations, for example, sliding left, sliding right, sliding up or sliding down.

[0089] However, the present application does not limit the tenth operation, the eleventh operation, and the twelfth operation, as long as they can trigger and implement the switching of the display content (including functional controls) in the interactive interface corresponding to the application.

[0090] As shown in Figure 11, the card-based component corresponding to any application can only display one function control (for example, function control 1) at a time. However, if the user performs the tenth operation on the card-based component, the terminal system can switch the function control intuitively displayed by the card-based component (for example, switching from displaying function control 1 to displaying function control 2, or from displaying function control 2 to displaying function control 1).

[0091] As shown in Figure 12, the first application interface corresponding to any application can display only two function controls (for example, function control 1 and function control 2) at a time. However, if the user performs an eleventh operation on the first application interface, the terminal system can switch the function controls intuitively displayed on the first application interface (for example, from displaying function control 1 and function control 2 to displaying function control 3 and function control 4, or from displaying function control 3 and function control 4 to displaying function control 1 and function control 2).

[0092] As shown in Figure 13, the second application interface corresponding to any application can only display four function controls (for example, function control 1 to function control 4) at a time. However, if the user performs a twelfth operation on the second application interface, the terminal system can switch the function controls intuitively displayed on the second application interface (for example, from displaying function controls 1 to function controls 4 to displaying function controls 5 to function controls 8, or from displaying function controls 5 to function controls 8 to displaying function controls 1 to function controls 4).

[0093] As an example, the tenth operation, the eleventh operation, and the twelfth operation may be sliding operations (including sliding up, sliding down, sliding left, and sliding right), but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0094] It should be understood that for any one of the card component, the first application interface, or the second application interface, the functional controls that can be intuitively displayed simultaneously (i.e., at one time) can be switched in whole or in part according to the user's operation. For example, different ranges of functional controls that are intuitively displayed simultaneously can be switched according to the amplitude of the user's sliding operation. Moreover, for any one of the card component, the first application interface, or the second application interface, some of the functional controls that are intuitively displayed may be incomplete.

[0095] In some implementations, to facilitate user identification, each of the card component, the first application interface, and the second application interface corresponding to any application may include an application icon of the application.

[0096] Figure 14 shows a schematic diagram of a card component including application icons according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 15 shows a schematic diagram of a first application interface including application icons according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 16 shows a schematic diagram of a second application interface including application icons according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0104] In some implementations, the processor 101 , the memory 100 , and the I / O interface 102 are interconnected via a bus 103 , and further connected to other device components.

[0105] As an example, the electronic device may be implemented as a terminal (eg, a mobile terminal), including but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a personal computer, and the like.

[0106] For ease of understanding, the following illustrative examples are used in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to illustrate the implementation of the terminal desktop display method according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0107] Figure 19 shows a schematic diagram of the card component of the application "WeChat" in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 19, the card component of the application "WeChat" may include the application icon "WeChat", may include a display bar "Friends Circle Prompt", "User Message Prompt", "System Message Prompt" configured to display notification information, and may also include a small portion of functional controls such as "Official Account", "Mini Program", "Payment", "Address Book", "Friends Circle", "Card Bag", etc. Users can directly obtain relevant notification information through the display bar "Friends Circle Prompt", "User Message Prompt", "System Message Prompt", or directly operate (for example, click) the functional controls "Official Account", "Mini Program", "Payment", "Address Book", "Friends Circle" and / or "Card Bag" to trigger and call the corresponding functions.

[0108] As an example, the user can click on the function control "Payment" to trigger and call the payment function (for example, display the payment QR code), or can click on the function control "Mini Program" to trigger the display of sub-function controls related to the function control "Mini Program", which can be an interactive interface of an application that can be used without installation.

[0109] If the user performs the tenth operation on the card component, the function controls intuitively displayed by the card component can be switched between the function controls "Official Account", "Mini Program", "Payment" and the function controls "Address Book", "Friends Circle", and "Card Wallet".

[0110] Figure 20 shows a schematic diagram of the first application interface of the application "WeChat" in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 20, the first application interface of the application "WeChat" may include the application icon "WeChat", and may also include some functional controls such as "Chat Box", "Friends Circle", "Video Account", "Official Account", "My", "More", "Address Book", "Mini Program", "Scan", "Take a Look", "Shopping", etc. If the user performs the eleventh operation on the first application interface, the functional controls intuitively displayed on the first application interface can be switched between the functional controls "Chat Box", "Friends Circle", "Video Account", "Official Account", "My", "More" and the functional controls "Chat Box", "Address Book", "Mini Program", "Scan", "Take a Look", "Shopping".

[0111] Figure 21 shows a schematic diagram of the second application interface of the application "WeChat" in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 21, the second application interface of the application "WeChat" may include the application icon "WeChat" and may also include all functional controls of the application "WeChat". If the user performs the twelfth operation on the second application interface, the functional controls intuitively displayed on the second application interface can be switched among all functional controls of the application "WeChat". For example, it is possible to switch between the sub-functional controls "Friends Circle", "Video Account", "Live Broadcast", "Scan", "Shake", "Take a Look", "Search", "Nearby", "Shopping", "Games", and "Mini Programs" of the display function control "My" and the sub-functional controls "Services", "Favorites", "Friends Circle", "Card Pack", "Emojis", and "Settings" of the display function control "Discover".

[0112] Figure 22 shows a schematic diagram of a function that is triggered and called after a specific function control of the first application interface of the application "WeChat" in an embodiment of the present application receives a user operation. As shown in Figure 22, if the function control "My" of the first application interface of the application "WeChat" receives a user operation (i.e., user input, such as a click operation), the terminal system can call and display the sub-function controls "Services", "Favorites", "Friends Circle", "Card Pack", "Emojis", and "Settings" of the function control "My" accordingly. Of course, the user can also directly operate the function control "Chat Box" of the first application interface of the application "WeChat" to directly use the chat function of the application "WeChat".
