Description

A folder interaction method and related device

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on March 28, 2024, with application number 202410384707.0 and application name “A method for interacting with a folder and related devices”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of terminals and terminal technologies, and in particular to a folder interaction method and related devices. Background Art

[0003] Currently, application icons can be displayed on the desktops of users' mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices. In order to implement classified management of different types of application icons, folders are provided on the desktops of electronic devices. One or more application icons can be placed in a folder. For large folders, users can directly click on the application icon in the large folder to start the corresponding application. Currently, if users want to use the application shortcut menu corresponding to the application icon in the large folder or move the location of the application icon, they need to expand the large folder first, and then find the corresponding application icon to perform relevant operations to call up the application shortcut menu or move the application icon. In this way, the user operation is more cumbersome, which affects the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a folder interaction method and related device. Through this method, users can directly operate application icons in a large folder without displaying large files. For example, they can long-press an application icon to call up an application shortcut menu, or long-press and move an application icon. This simplifies user operations and improves the user experience.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a folder interaction method, which may include: an electronic device displays a desktop, the desktop includes a large folder, the large folder contains an icon of a first application and an icon of a second application, the desktop also includes an icon of a third application, and the large folder does not include an icon of the third application; the electronic device receives a first operation performed by a user on the desktop; in response to the first operation, the electronic device moves the icon of the first application from a first position to a second position.

[0006] In this way, users can directly move the position of the first application in the large folder without expanding the large folder on the desktop. Users do not need to expand the large folder first and then move the application icon, which simplifies the user operation and improves the user experience.

[0007] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the first position and the second position are positions in the large folder, and the first position and the second position are different; or, the first position is a position in the large folder, and the second position is outside the large folder and is a position on the desktop; after the icon of the first application is moved from the first position to the second position, the icon of the first application is no longer displayed in the large folder.

[0008] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the first operation is to long press the icon of the first application and move the icon of the first application within the large folder; or, the first operation is to long press the icon of the first application and move the icon of the first application out of the large folder.

[0009] In this way, the user can adjust the position of the first application's icon in the large folder or move the first application's icon out of the large folder when the large folder is not expanded on the desktop. The user does not need to expand the large folder first and then adjust the position of the first application's icon in the large folder, nor does the user need to expand the large file key first and then move the first application's icon out of the large folder. This simplifies user operations and improves the user experience.

[0010] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, when a large folder only contains the icon of the first application and the icon of the second application, the second position is outside the large folder and is a position on the desktop. After the electronic device moves the icon of the first application from the first position to the second position, the method may also include: the electronic device no longer displays the large folder, and displays the icon of the second application at a third position on the desktop.

[0011] In this way, when there are only two application icons in a large folder, the user can remove an application icon from the large folder when the large folder is not expanded. The user does not need to first expand the large folder and then remove an application icon from the large folder. This simplifies user operations and improves the user experience.

[0012] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the large folder also includes an icon for a fourth application. The method may also include: when the electronic device displays the desktop, the electronic device detects a second operation performed by the user on the desktop; in response to the second operation, the electronic device displays a shortcut menu of the second application, and the shortcut menu of the second application includes one or more function options provided by the second application.

[0013] The second operation is to long press the icon of the second application.

[0014] This way, when the large folder is not expanded on the desktop, the user can directly long-press the icon of the second application in the large folder to call up the shortcut menu of the second application. The user does not need to expand the large folder first and then long-press the icon of the second application in the large folder. This simplifies the user operation and improves the user experience.

[0015] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after the electronic device detects a second operation performed by the user on the desktop, the method may further include: in response to the second operation, the electronic device also displays a shortcut menu for the large folder, and the shortcut menu for the large folder contains one or more function options for the large folder.

[0016] In this way, the user can directly long press the icon of the second application in the large folder when the large folder is not expanded on the desktop, and can not only call out the shortcut menu of the second application, but also call out the shortcut menu of the large folder.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the method may further include: when the electronic device displays the desktop, the electronic device detects a third operation performed by the user on the desktop; in response to the third operation, the electronic device displays a service card of a fourth application.

[0018] Among them, the third operation is to long press the icon of the fourth application and slide upwards.

[0019] In this way, when the large folder is not expanded on the desktop, the user can directly swipe up on the fourth app in the large folder to call out the service card of the fourth app. The user does not need to expand the large folder first and then swipe up on the fourth app in the large folder, which simplifies the user operation and improves the user experience.

[0020] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the electronic device displays the service card of the fourth application, specifically including: the electronic device overlaying the service card of the fourth application on the large folder. In this way, the service card does not occupy other space on the desktop, and the original desktop layout is not disrupted by displaying the service card.

[0021] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, before the electronic device displays the large folder on the desktop, the method may further include: the electronic device displays a small folder containing an icon for the first application and an icon for the second application; receiving and responding to a fourth user operation to display the small folder as a large folder, the electronic device displays a large folder containing an icon for the first application and an icon for the second application; the size of the icon for the first application in the large folder is larger than the size of the icon for the first application in the small folder, and the size of the icon for the second application in the large folder is larger than the size of the icon for the second application in the small folder. In this way, the large folder can be generated based on the user operation.

[0022] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, after the electronic device displays the large folder on the desktop, the method may further include: the electronic device detects a fifth operation performed by the user on the desktop; in response to the fifth operation, the electronic device displays the icon of the third application in the large folder.

[0023] The fifth operation is to long press the icon of the third application and drag the icon of the third application into the large folder.

[0024] In this way, when the large folder on the desktop is not expanded, the user can directly drag the icon of the third application into the large folder. In addition, the user does not need to expand the large folder first and then drag the application icon into the large folder, which simplifies the user operation and thus improves the user experience.

[0025] In a second aspect, an electronic device is provided, which may include a display, one or more processors and one or more memories; wherein the display, one or more memories are coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memories are used to store computer program code, and the computer program code includes computer instructions. When the one or more processors execute the computer instructions, the electronic device executes the method involved in any possible implementation method of the first aspect.

[0026] According to a third aspect, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device may include one or more functional modules, and the one or more functional modules are used for the method involved in any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0027] In a fourth aspect, a chip system is provided, which is applied to an electronic device, and the chip system includes one or more processors, and the processor is used to call computer instructions to enable the electronic device to execute the method involved in any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0028] In a fifth aspect, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, comprising instructions, which, when executed on an electronic device, enable the electronic device to execute the method involved in any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0029] In a sixth aspect, a computer program product is provided, which includes a computer program / instruction.

For example, the processor 110 may include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a memory, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and / or a neural-network processing unit (NPU). The different processing units may be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors.

[0072] The controller may be the nerve center and command center of the electronic device 100. The controller may generate an operation control signal according to the instruction operation code and the timing signal to complete the control of fetching and executing instructions.

[0073] Processor 110 may also include a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in processor 110 is a cache memory. This memory can store instructions or data that have just been used or are being recycled by processor 110. If processor 110 needs to use the same instruction or data again, it can directly access the memory. This avoids duplicate accesses, reduces processor 110 latency, and thus improves system efficiency.

In some embodiments, the audio module 170 can also transmit audio signals to the wireless communication module 160 via the PCM interface, enabling the function of answering calls via a Bluetooth headset. Both the I2S interface and the PCM interface can be used for audio communication.

[0078] The UART interface is a universal serial data bus used for asynchronous communication. This bus can be a bidirectional communication bus. It converts the data to be transmitted between serial communication and parallel communication. In some embodiments, the UART interface is typically used to connect the processor 110 and the wireless communication module 160. For example, the processor 110 communicates with the Bluetooth module in the wireless communication module 160 via the UART interface to implement Bluetooth functionality. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 can transmit audio signals to the wireless communication module 160 via the UART interface, enabling the function of playing music through Bluetooth headphones.

[0079] The MIPI interface can be used to connect the processor 110 to peripheral devices such as the display 194 and the camera 193. MIPI interfaces include the camera serial interface (CSI) and the display serial interface (DSI). In some embodiments, the processor 110 and the camera 193 communicate via the CSI interface to implement the camera function of the electronic device 100. The processor 110 and the display 194 communicate via the DSI interface to implement the display function of the electronic device 100.

[0080] The GPIO interface can be configured via software. The GPIO interface can be configured as either a control signal or a data signal. In some embodiments, the GPIO interface can be used to connect the processor 110 to the camera 193, display 194, wireless communication module 160, audio module 170, sensor module 180, etc. The GPIO interface can also be configured as an I2C interface, an I2S interface, a UART interface, a MIPI interface, etc.

[0081] The SIM interface can be used to communicate with the SIM card interface 195 to implement the function of transmitting data to the SIM card or reading data in the SIM card.

[0082] The USB interface 130 is an interface that complies with USB standards and may be a Mini USB interface, a Micro USB interface, a USB Type-C interface, or the like. The USB interface 130 can be used to connect a charger to charge the electronic device 100, or to transfer data between the electronic device 100 and peripheral devices. It can also be used to connect headphones to play audio. This interface can also be used to connect other electronic devices, such as augmented reality devices.

[0083] It is understood that the interface connection relationship between the modules illustrated in the embodiment of the present invention is merely an illustrative illustration and does not constitute a structural limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may also adopt different interface connection methods from the above embodiments, or a combination of multiple interface connection methods.

[0084] The charging management module 140 is configured to receive charging input from a charger, which may be a wireless charger or a wired charger.

[0085] The power management module 141 is used to connect the battery 142, the charging management module 140, and the processor 110. The power management module 141 receives input from the battery 142 and / or the charging management module 140 to provide power to the processor 110, the internal memory 121, the external memory, the display 194, the camera 193, and the wireless communication module 160.

[0086] The wireless communication function of the electronic device 100 can be implemented through the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the mobile communication module 150, the wireless communication module 160, the modem processor and the baseband processor.

[0087] Antenna 1 and Antenna 2 are used to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in electronic device 100 can be used to cover a single or multiple communication frequency bands. Different antennas can also be reused to improve antenna utilization. For example, antenna 1 can be reused as a diversity antenna for a wireless local area network. In other embodiments, the antennas can be used in conjunction with a tuning switch.

[0088] The mobile communication module 150 can provide solutions for wireless communications including 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G applied to the electronic device 100. The mobile communication module 150 may include at least one filter, a switch, a power amplifier, a low noise amplifier (LNA), etc. The mobile communication module 150 can receive electromagnetic waves from the antenna 1, and filter, amplify, and process the received electromagnetic waves, and transmit them to the modulation and demodulation processor for demodulation. The mobile communication module 150 can also amplify the signal modulated by the modulation and demodulation processor, and convert it into electromagnetic waves for radiation through the antenna 1. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 150 can be set in the processor 110. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 150 can be set in the same device as at least some of the modules of the processor 110.

[0089] The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used to modulate the low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used to demodulate the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then transmits the demodulated low-frequency baseband signal to the baseband processor for processing. After being processed by the baseband processor, the low-frequency baseband signal is passed to the application processor. The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio device (not limited to the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, etc.) or displays an image or video through the display screen 194. In some embodiments, the modem processor may be an independent device. In other embodiments, the modem processor may be independent of the processor 110 and be set in the same device as the mobile communication module 150 or other functional modules.

[0090] The wireless communication module 160 can provide wireless communication solutions including wireless local area networks (WLAN) (such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks), Bluetooth (BT), global navigation satellite system (GNSS), frequency modulation (FM), near field communication (NFC), infrared (IR), etc., which are applied to the electronic device 100. The wireless communication module 160 can be one or more devices that integrate at least one communication processing module. The wireless communication module 160 receives electromagnetic waves via the antenna 2, frequency modulates and filters the electromagnetic wave signals, and sends the processed signals to the processor 110. The wireless communication module 160 can also receive the signal to be sent from the processor 110, frequency modulate it, amplify it, and convert it into electromagnetic waves for radiation through the antenna 2.

[0091] In some embodiments, the antenna 1 of the electronic device 100 is coupled to the mobile communication module 150, and the antenna 2 is coupled to the wireless communication module 160, so that the electronic device 100 can communicate with a network and other devices through wireless communication technologies. The wireless communication technologies may include global system for mobile communications (GSM), general packet radio service (GPRS), code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), time-division code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA), long term evolution (LTE), BT, GNSS, WLAN, NFC, FM, and / or IR technology. The GNSS may include a global positioning system (GPS), a global navigation satellite system (GLONASS), a Beidou navigation satellite system (BDS), a quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS) and / or a satellite based augmentation system (SBAS).

[0092] Electronic device 100 implements display functionality through a GPU, display screen 194, and an application processor. A GPU is a microprocessor for image processing that connects display screen 194 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. Processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or modify display information.

[0093] Display screen 194 is used to display images, videos, and the like. Display screen 194 includes a display panel. The display panel can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), a MiniLED, a MicroLED, a Micro-oLed, or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED). In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may include one or N display screens 194, where N is a positive integer greater than one.

[0094] The electronic device 100 can implement a shooting function through an ISP, a camera 193, a video codec, a GPU, a display screen 194, and an application processor.

[0095] The ISP processes data fed back by camera 193. For example, when taking a photo, the shutter is opened, and light is transmitted through the lens to the camera's photosensitive element. The light signal is converted into an electrical signal, which is then passed to the ISP for processing and converted into a visible image. The ISP can also perform algorithmic optimization on image noise, brightness, and color. It can also optimize parameters such as exposure and color temperature of the captured scene. In some embodiments, the ISP can be located within camera 193.

[0096] The camera 193 is used to capture still images or videos. The object generates an optical image through the lens and projects it onto the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element can be a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the light signal into an electrical signal, and then passes the electrical signal to the ISP for conversion into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard RGB, YUV or other format. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include 1 or N cameras 193, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0097] The digital signal processor is used to process digital signals. In addition to processing digital image signals, it can also process other digital signals.

[0103] The audio module 170 is used to convert digital audio information into analog audio signal output, and is also used to convert analog audio input into digital audio signals. The audio module 170 can also be used to encode and decode audio signals. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 can be provided in the processor 110, or some functional modules of the audio module 170 can be provided in the processor 110.

[0104] The speaker 170A, also called a "speaker", is used to convert audio electrical signals into sound signals. The electronic device 100 can listen to music or listen to hands-free calls through the speaker 170A.

[0105] The receiver 170B, also called a "handset", is used to convert audio electrical signals into sound signals. When the electronic device 100 receives a call or a voice message, the user can place the receiver 170B close to the ear to hear the voice.

[0106] Microphone 170C, also known as "microphone" or "microphone", is used to convert sound signals into electrical signals. When making a call or sending a voice message, the user can speak by putting their mouth close to the microphone 170C to input the sound signal into the microphone 170C. The electronic device 100 can be provided with at least one microphone 170C. In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 can be provided with two microphones 170C, which can not only collect sound signals but also realize noise reduction function.

[0108] Pressure sensor 180A is used to sense pressure signals and convert them into electrical signals. In some embodiments, pressure sensor 180A can be located on display screen 194. There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive, inductive, and capacitive. A capacitive pressure sensor can include at least two parallel plates made of conductive material. When force acts on pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. Electronic device 100 determines the intensity of the pressure based on this change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to display screen 194, electronic device 100 detects the touch intensity based on pressure sensor 180A. Electronic device 100 can also calculate the touch location based on the detection signal from pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations applied to the same touch location but with different touch intensities can correspond to different operation instructions. For example, when a touch operation with an intensity less than a first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to view short messages is executed. When a touch operation with an intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to create a new short message is executed.

[0109] The gyroscope sensor 180B can be used to determine the motion posture of the electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the angular velocity of the electronic device 100 around three axes (i.e., x, y, and z axes) can be determined by the gyroscope sensor 180B. The gyroscope sensor 180B can be used for anti-shake shooting. For example, when the shutter is pressed, the gyroscope sensor 180B detects the angle of the electronic device 100 shaking, calculates the distance that the lens module needs to compensate based on the angle, and allows the lens to offset the shaking of the electronic device 100 through reverse movement to achieve anti-shake. The gyroscope sensor 180B can also be used for navigation and somatosensory game scenes.

[0110] The air pressure sensor 180C is used to measure air pressure. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 calculates the altitude using the air pressure value measured by the air pressure sensor 180C to assist in positioning and navigation.

[0111] The magnetic sensor 180D includes a Hall sensor. The electronic device 100 can use the magnetic sensor 180D to detect the opening and closing of the flip case. In some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 is a flip phone, the electronic device 100 can detect the opening and closing of the flip cover based on the magnetic sensor 180D. Based on the detected opening and closing status of the case or flip cover, features such as automatic unlocking of the flip cover can be configured.

[0112] Accelerometer 180E can detect the magnitude of acceleration of electronic device 100 in all directions (generally three axes). It can also detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when electronic device 100 is stationary. It can also be used to identify the electronic device's posture, enabling applications such as switching between landscape and portrait modes and pedometers.

[0113] The distance sensor 180F is used to measure distance. The electronic device 100 can measure distance using infrared or laser. In some embodiments, when shooting a scene, the electronic device 100 can use the distance sensor 180F to measure distance to achieve fast focusing.

[0114] The proximity light sensor 180G may include, for example, a light emitting diode (LED) and a light detector, such as a photodiode. The light emitting diode may be an infrared light emitting diode. The electronic device 100 emits infrared light outward through the light emitting diode. The electronic device 100 uses a photodiode to detect infrared reflected light from nearby objects. When sufficient reflected light is detected, it can be determined that there is an object near the electronic device 100. When insufficient reflected light is detected, the electronic device 100 can determine that there is no object near the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can use the proximity light sensor 180G to detect that the user is holding the electronic device 100 close to the ear to talk, so as to automatically turn off the screen to save power. The proximity light sensor 180G can also be used in leather case mode and pocket mode to automatically unlock and lock the screen.

[0115] Ambient light sensor 180L is used to sense ambient light brightness. Electronic device 100 can adaptively adjust the brightness of display screen 194 based on the perceived ambient light. Ambient light sensor 180L can also be used to automatically adjust white balance when taking photos.

[0116] The fingerprint sensor 180H is used to collect fingerprints. The electronic device 100 can use the collected fingerprint characteristics to implement fingerprint unlocking, access application locks, fingerprint photography, fingerprint call answering, etc.

[0117] The temperature sensor 180J is used to detect temperature. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 uses the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 180J to execute a temperature processing strategy. For example, when the temperature reported by the temperature sensor 180J exceeds a threshold, the electronic device 100 reduces the performance of the processor located near the temperature sensor 180J to reduce power consumption and implement thermal protection. In other embodiments, when the temperature is lower than another threshold, the electronic device 100 heats the battery 142 to prevent the electronic device 100 from shutting down abnormally due to low temperature. In other embodiments, when the temperature is lower than another threshold, the electronic device 100 boosts the output voltage of the battery 142 to prevent abnormal shutdown due to low temperature.

[0118] The touch sensor 180K is also called a "touch panel." The touch sensor 180K can be disposed on the display screen 194. The touch sensor 180K and the display screen 194 form a touch screen, also called a "touch screen." The touch sensor 180K is used to detect touch operations applied thereto or in the vicinity thereof. The touch sensor can transmit the detected touch operations to the application processor to determine the type of touch event. Visual output related to the touch operations can be provided via the display screen 194. In other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K can also be disposed on the surface of the electronic device 100, in a location different from that of the display screen 194.

[0119] The buttons 190 include a power button, a volume button, and the like. The buttons 190 may be mechanical buttons or touch buttons. The electronic device 100 may receive key inputs and generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the electronic device 100.

[0120] Motor 191 can generate vibration prompts. Motor 191 can be used for incoming call vibration prompts, and can also be used for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations acting on different applications (such as taking pictures, audio playback, etc.) can correspond to different vibration feedback effects. For touch operations acting on different areas of the display screen 194, motor 191 can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Different application scenarios (for example: time reminders, receiving messages, alarm clocks, games, etc.) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect can also support customization.

[0121] The indicator 192 may be an indicator light, which may be used to indicate the charging status, power level changes, messages, missed calls, notifications, etc.

[0122] The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect a SIM card. The SIM card can be connected to and disconnected from the electronic device 100 by inserting it into or removing it from the SIM card interface 195. The electronic device 100 can support 1 or N SIM card interfaces, where N is a positive integer greater than 1. The SIM card interface 195 can support Nano SIM cards, Micro SIM cards, SIM cards, and the like. Multiple cards can be inserted into the same SIM card interface 195 at the same time. The types of the multiple cards can be the same or different. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with different types of SIM cards. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with external memory cards. The electronic device 100 interacts with the network through the SIM card to implement functions such as calls and data communications.

[0123] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a software framework of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0124] A layered architecture divides software into several layers, each with distinct roles and responsibilities. Layers communicate with each other via software interfaces. In some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers: application layer, application framework layer, runtime and system libraries, and kernel layer.

[0125] The application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0126] As shown in FIG2 , the application package may include applications (also referred to as apps) such as desktop, weather, Xiaoyi suggestions, music, short messages, gallery, calls, navigation, Bluetooth, and video.

[0127] Optionally, the application package may also include applications such as a camera, calendar, map, WLAN, and music. It is understood that the types and number of applications included in the application package in the electronic device 100 will change as the user downloads or uninstalls applications. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the types and number of applications included in the application package.

[0128] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and programming framework for applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0129] As shown in FIG2 , the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a telephony manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

[0130] The window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the display size, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, take screenshots, etc.

[0131] Content providers are used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. The data may include videos, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

[0132] The view system includes visual controls, such as those for displaying text and images. The view system is used to build applications. A display interface can consist of one or more views. For example, a display interface containing a text notification icon might include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying images.

[0133] The phone manager is used to provide communication functions of the electronic device 100, such as management of call status (including answering, hanging up, etc.).

[0134] The resource manager provides various resources for applications, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, and so on.

[0135] The Notification Manager allows applications to display notifications in the status bar. These messages can be displayed briefly and then disappear automatically, without requiring user interaction. For example, the Notification Manager can be used to notify users of completed downloads, message reminders, and so on. The Notification Manager can also display notifications in the top status bar of the system as icons or scrolling text, such as notifications from background applications, or as dialog interfaces on the screen. Examples include text messages in the status bar, beeps, vibrations on electronic devices, and flashing indicator lights.

[0136] The runtime includes the core library and the virtual machine. The runtime is responsible for the scheduling and management of the system.

[0137] The core library consists of two parts: one part is the function that the programming language (for example, Java language) needs to call, and the other part is the core library of the system.

[0138] The application layer and application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the application layer and application framework layer programming files (for example, Java files) as binary files. The virtual machine performs functions such as object lifecycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0139] The system library can include multiple functional modules, such as surface manager, media library, 3D graphics processing library (such as OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (such as SGL), etc.

[0140] The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide the fusion of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) layers for multiple applications.

[0141] The media library supports playback and recording of a variety of common audio and video formats, as well as static image files. The media library can support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

[0142] The 3D graphics processing library is used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing.

[0143] A 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawings.

[0144] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer contains at least display driver, camera driver, audio driver, sensor driver, and virtual card driver.

[0145] The following describes the workflow of the software and hardware of the electronic device 100 in conjunction with capturing a photo scene.

[0146] When the touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, the corresponding hardware interrupt is sent to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into a raw input event (including touch coordinates, touch operation timestamp, and other information). The raw input event is stored in the kernel layer. The application framework layer obtains the raw input event from the kernel layer and identifies the control corresponding to the input event. For example, if the touch operation is a touch single-click operation and the control corresponding to the single-click operation is the control of the camera application icon, the camera application calls the interface of the application framework layer to start the camera application, and then starts the camera driver by calling the kernel layer to capture a still image or video through the camera 193.

[0147] The embodiment of the present application relates to the application of a folder interaction method. For ease of understanding, the desktop displayed by the electronic device 100 is first introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0148] As shown in Figure 3, the electronic device 100 can display an interface 300 of the desktop. A page with application icons is displayed in the interface 300. The page may include icons of multiple applications (for example, a gallery application icon 305, a sports and health application icon 307, a music application icon 308, a settings application icon 309, and a weather application icon 310, etc.). Among them, the page may also include icons of application folders (for example, an icon 306 of a daily application folder and an icon 311 of a large folder 1). The application folder can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to display one or more application icons.

[0149] Among them, the large folder 1 may contain Application icon 311A, Application icon 311B, Application icon 311C, Application icon 311D, Application icon 311E, contact application icon 311F, Application Icon 311G, Application icon 311H, video application icon 311I, stock application icon 311J, and so on.

[0150] Optionally, the page may also include a Xiaoyi suggestion card 303 and a sports health card 304. The Xiaoyi suggestion card 303 may display icons of one or more applications recommended by the Xiaoyi suggestion application. The sports health card 304 may display the user's sports health data (e.g., the number of steps "1314 steps").

[0151] Alternatively, if there is a tooltip below an application icon, it indicates that the application has a service card embedded in it. For example, tooltip 3051 is displayed below gallery application icon 305. Tooltip 3081 is displayed below music application icon 308. For example, a user can swipe up on an application icon to call out a service card. For example, a user can swipe up on gallery application icon 305 to call out the gallery service card.

[0152] Optionally, a page indicator 312 is displayed below the page on which the application icon is placed, indicating the total number of pages on the desktop and the positional relationship between the currently displayed page and other pages. For example, if the desktop interface 300 may include four pages, and the black dot in the page indicator is on the second page, it may indicate that the currently displayed page is the second page of the four pages. The second page may be referred to as the home page of the desktop interface 300 (or may be referred to as the home page, home screen).

[0153] Optionally, in some examples, the black dot in the page indicator may be located at the first position. When the black dot in the page indicator is located at the first position, it may indicate that the currently displayed page is the leftmost page among the four pages. The leftmost page may also be referred to as the negative one screen of the desktop interface 300.

[0154] Optionally, in some examples, the black dot in the page indicator may be the fourth one. When the black dot in the page indicator is the fourth one, it may indicate that the currently displayed page is the rightmost one of the four pages. The rightmost page may also be referred to as the last screen of the desktop interface 300.

[0155] Optionally, a status bar 301 is displayed above the page where the application icon is placed. The status bar 301 may include information such as a communication signal strength indicator, battery level, and time. Further, optionally, a dock area may be provided below the page indicator. The dock area may include one or more tray icons (e.g., a dialer application icon 313A, a message application icon 313B, a browser application icon 313C, a camera application icon 313D, etc.). The one or more tray icons in the dock area may remain displayed when the page is switched.

[0156] Optionally, the page with the application icon can also display weather clock information 302. The weather clock information can include time information (e.g., year, month, day, week, lunar calendar, and hour and minute, etc.) and weather information (e.g., icons and temperature for identifying weather, etc.).

[0157] The following is an introduction to the relevant terms and concepts involved in the embodiments of this application.

[0158] 1. Cards

[0159] A card can include information displaying one or more functions in one or more applications. A card can be a convenient entry point to the application corresponding to the card on the desktop. Users can use the card to enter the interface of the application corresponding to the card. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the sports and health card 304 is used as an example. Using the sports and health card 304 as an example, users can use the sports and health card 304 to enter the interface of the sports and health application.

[0160] Cards can also be called service cards, components, or card components, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application. The sizes of cards corresponding to different applications can be the same or different. This embodiment of the present application also does not limit the size of the cards displayed on the desktop of the electronic device 100.

[0161] 2. Large folders, small folders

[0162] The large folder on the desktop of the electronic device 100 may contain one or more application icons, and the user may directly click on an application icon in the large file to enter the application. For example, in the large file 1 shown in FIG3 , the user may directly click on an application icon in the icon 311 of the large file 1 to enter the application.

[0163] The small folder in the desktop of the electronic device 100 can contain icons of one or more applications. The user cannot click on the application icon directly in the small folder. The user needs to click on the icon of the small folder first, and in response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 can expand and enlarge the icons of the applications in the small folder. For example, the daily application folder and the practical application folder shown in Figure 3 are both small folders. Taking the daily application folder as an example, the user needs to click on the icon 306 of the daily application folder first, and the electronic device 100 expands and enlarges the icons of the applications in the daily application folder in response to the user operation. Then, the user can click on the application icon to enter the application.

[0164] 3. Xiaoyi suggestion card

[0165] The electronic device 100 can recommend one or more apps that the user is most likely to use based on the user's app usage patterns over a period of time, and place them in a Xiaoyi suggestion card. Although both the Xiaoyi suggestion card and the large folder contain one or more app icons, the user can directly click on the app icon in the Xiaoyi suggestion card or large folder to access the app. However, the app icons in the Xiaoyi suggestion card cannot be moved in or out based on user operations, while the icons in the large folder can be moved in or out by the user.

[0166] In some examples, a user can drag application icon 1 onto application icon 2. Based on the user's action, the electronic device can create a small folder on the desktop, which can include application icon 1 and application icon 2. The user can then long-press the small folder and choose to display the small folder as a large folder. The user can then click to expand the large folder and drag application icons out of the large folder, or move application icons on the desktop into the large folder.

[0167] Generally, a large folder can have 9 grids for placing application icons. As shown in Figure 4, taking large folder 1 as an example, the large folder 1 can have 9 grids, namely grid 1-1, grid 1-2, grid 1-3, grid 2-1, grid 2-2, grid 2-3, grid 3-1, grid 3-2, and grid 3-3. Among them, in grid 1-1, grid 1-2, grid 1-3, grid 2-1, grid 2-2, grid 2-3, grid 3-1, and grid 3-2, an application icon can be placed in each grid. Multiple application icons can be placed in grid 3-3. When there are more than 9 application icons in large folder 1, the 9th icon and the remaining icons can be placed in grid 3-3. For example, as shown in the large folder 1 in Figure 3, the grid 3-3 of the large folder 1 contains a video application icon 311I and a stock application icon 311J.

[0168] Optionally, in some feasible examples, when multiple application icons are placed in the grid 3-3 of the large folder 1, the sizes of the multiple application icons are smaller than the sizes of the application icons in other grids (for example, the grid 1-1). That is, the size of the video application icon 311I and the size of the stock application icon 311J can be smaller than Application icon 311A, Application icon 311B, Application icon 311C, Application icon 311D, Application icon 311E, contact application icon 311F, Application Icon 311G, The size of application icons such as application icon 311H.

[0169] In some examples, for application icons in grids such as Grid 1-1, Grid 1-2, Grid 1-3, Grid 2-1, Grid 2-2, Grid 2-3, Grid 3-1, and Grid 3-2, users can directly click the application icon in Large Folder 1 to launch the corresponding application. However, for application icons in Grid 3-3, users cannot directly click the application icon in Large Folder 1 to launch the corresponding application. If the user wants to launch the application icon in Grid 3-3, the user must first expand Large Folder 1 and then click the application icon to launch the corresponding application.

[0170] In some examples, grid 3 - 3 may be referred to as the grid in the lower right corner of large file 1 .

[0171] In some examples, when a user long-presses in large folder 1, a shortcut menu corresponding to large folder 1 may be called up, but an application shortcut menu corresponding to the application icon touched by the user's finger may not be directly called up. For example, as shown in FIG5 , a user may long-press icon 311 of large file 1 in desktop interface 300, and in response to the user operation, electronic device 100 may display user interface 600.

[0172] FIG6 exemplarily illustrates a user interface 600 of the electronic device 100. As shown in FIG6 , the user interface 600 may include the icon 311 of the large folder 1 and a shortcut menu 601 for the large folder 1. The shortcut menu 601 may include a function option 602 and a function option 603. The function option 602 may be used to display the large folder 1 as a small folder. The function option 603 may be used to rename the large folder 1.

[0173] In some examples, if a user wants to long-press an application icon to bring up an application shortcut menu or long-press and drag an application icon to remove or reposition an application icon in large folder 1, the user needs to click the lower right corner of large folder 1 to expand large folder 1 before performing long-press or drag operations on the target application. For example, as shown in FIG7 , the user can click the area where the video application icon 311I is located in large folder 1. In response to this user operation, electronic device 100 can display user interface 800.

[0174] FIG8 exemplarily shows a user interface 800 of the electronic device 100. As shown in FIG8 , the user interface 800 displays the large folder 1 in an expanded manner. Specifically, the user interface 800 may include Application icon 311A ​​and the Application name corresponding to application icon 311A Application icon 311B and the Application name corresponding to application icon 311B Application icon 311C and the Application name corresponding to application icon 311C Application icon 311D and the Application name corresponding to application icon 311D Application icon 311E and the Application name corresponding to application icon 311E The contact application icon 311F and the application name "Contacts" corresponding to the contact application icon 311F, Application icon 311G and the Application name corresponding to application icon 311G Application icon 311H and the Application name corresponding to application icon 311H The video application icon 311I and the application name "Video" corresponding to the video application icon 311I, the stock application icon 311J and the application name "Stock" corresponding to the stock application icon 311J.

[0175] Optionally, the user interface 800 may further include a prompt bar 801, which may be located below the contact application icon 311F. The prompt bar 801 may indicate that the contact application has a service card embedded therein. The user may swipe upward on the contact application icon 311F to call out the service card.

[0176] Optionally, the user interface 800 may further include a control 802 , which may be used to add an application icon to the folder 1 .

[0177] When the user wants to call up the application shortcut menu corresponding to the application icon in large folder 1, the user can long press the application icon in user interface 800. For example, as shown in Figure 9, the user can also long press the contact application icon 311F in user interface 800. In response to this user operation, electronic device 100 can display user interface 1000.

[0178] Figure 10 exemplarily shows a user interface 1000 of an electronic device 100. As shown in Figure 10, the user interface 1000 may include a contact application icon 311F, and an application shortcut menu 1001 and an application shortcut menu 1002 corresponding to the contact application icon 311F. The application shortcut menu 1001 may include one or more function options provided by the contact application. For example, a "new contact" function option, a "frequent contacts" function option, a "scan business card" function option, a "my business card" function option, and so on. The application shortcut menu 1002 may include a function option for a service card for calling out a contact application, and the name of the function option may be: "Contact" card. It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit what specific function options the application shortcut menu 1001 and the application shortcut menu 1002 contain, nor does it limit the number of function options contained.

[0179] Optionally, in some examples, after the large folder is expanded, the user can also swipe up to call out the service card. For example, as shown in FIG11 , the user can swipe up on the contact application icon 311F on the user interface 800. In response to this user operation, the electronic device 100 can display the service card of the contact application.

[0180] As shown in Figure 12, the electronic device 100 can display a service card 803 of the contact application in the user interface 800. Optionally, the service card 803 can be overlaid on the contact application icon 311F. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific shape, size, and content of the service card 803.

[0181] Optionally, in some examples, when the large folder is expanded, the user can also move the position of the application icon in the large folder. For example, as shown in FIG13 , the user can long press the contact application icon 311F in the user interface 800 and drag the contact application icon 311F to In response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 can move the location of the contact application icon 311F. As shown in FIG14 , the electronic device 100 can move the contact application icon 311F to The electronic device 100 will The application icon 311E moves to the position where the contact application icon 311F was located before the user operation. That is, the electronic device 100 moves the contact application icon 311F and The application icon 311E swaps positions. It is understandable that the user can also move the contact application icon 311F to any position in the area where the large folder 1 is located (such as the area 1501 shown in FIG15 ), and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0182] Optionally, in some examples, when a large folder is expanded, the user can also long-press and drag an application icon to move it out of the large folder. For example, as shown in FIG15 , in user interface 800 , the user can long-press contact application icon 311F in large folder 1 and drag the contact application icon 311F out of area 1501 where large folder 1 is located. In response to this user operation, electronic device 100 may no longer display contact application icon 311F in large folder 1.

[0183] As shown in FIG16 , the user can drag the contact application icon 311F to the dock area 313. The contact application icon 311F can be displayed in the dock area 313 in the desktop interface 300. The electronic device 100 can also adjust the position of the application icons in the large folder 1. For example, the electronic device 100 can adjust the position of the application icons in the grid below the contact application icon 311F (for example, Application Icon 311G, application icon 311H, video application icon 311I, and stock application icon 311J).

[0184] In the user interfaces shown in Figures 3 to 16 above for users to operate large folders or application icons in large folders, if the user wants to call up the application shortcut menu corresponding to the target application icon in the large folder, or move the target application icon in the large folder, or swipe up on the target application icon to call out the service card, or drag the target application icon out of the large folder, the user needs to first click on the grid in the lower right corner of the large folder to expand the large folder. Then, the user can long press, long press and drag, or swipe up on the target application icon. This makes user operations inconvenient and affects the user experience.

[0185] An embodiment of the present application provides a folder interaction method, in which the user can long press the target application icon in the large folder to call out the corresponding application shortcut menu without expanding the large folder. Moreover, the user can long press the target application icon in the large folder to move the target application icon to the position of the large folder or drag out the large folder without expanding the large folder. In addition, the user can also swipe up on the target application icon in the large folder to call out the corresponding service card without expanding the large folder. In this way, the user operation is simpler and faster, which can improve the user experience.

[0186] 17 to 22 exemplarily show schematic diagrams of relevant user interfaces when a user operates a target application icon in a large folder without expanding the large folder.

[0187] In an embodiment of the present application, the user can directly long press the target application icon in the large folder when the large folder is not expanded to call out the shortcut menu corresponding to the target application icon.

[0188] As shown in FIG. 5 , when the user long-presses the contact application icon 311F in the large folder 1 , the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 1700 in response to the user operation.

[0189] FIG17 exemplarily illustrates a user interface 1700 of the electronic device 100. As shown in FIG17 , the user interface 1700 may display the icon 311 of the large folder 1, a contact application shortcut menu 1701, a contact application shortcut menu 1702, and a shortcut menu 1703 of the large folder 1. The contact application shortcut menu 1701 may refer to the description of the application shortcut menu 1001 above, which will not be repeated here. The contact application shortcut menu 1702 may refer to the description of the application shortcut menu 1002 above, which will not be repeated here. The shortcut menu 1703 may refer to the description of the shortcut menu 601 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0190] In an embodiment of the present application, the user can directly swipe up on the target application icon to call out the corresponding service card when the large folder is not expanded. The target application is an application configured with a service card. When the target application is in a large folder and the large folder is not expanded, a prompt bar may not be displayed below the target application icon. When the large folder is expanded, a prompt bar may be displayed below the target application icon. For example, as shown in Figure 18, the user can swipe up on the contact application icon 311F in the icon 311 of the large folder 1. In response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 can display the service card corresponding to the contact application icon 311F. As shown in Figure 19, the electronic device 100 can display a service card 803 corresponding to the contact application icon 311F. Optionally, the service card 803 can be overlaid on the icon 311 of the large folder 1.

[0191] In an embodiment of the present application, the user can directly long press and drag the target application when the large folder is not expanded to move the target application out of the large folder. For example, as shown in Figure 20, the user can long press and drag the contact application icon 311F in the large folder 1 to the dock area 313. In response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 can display the contact application icon 311F in the dock area 313. For example, as shown in Figure 16, the contact application icon 311F can be displayed in the dock area 313 in the interface 300 of the desktop. The electronic device 100 can also adjust the position of the application icons in the large folder 1. For example, the electronic device 100 can adjust the position of the application icons in the next row of the grid under the contact application icon 311F (for example, Application Icon 311G, application icon 311H, video application icon 311I, and stock application icon 311J).

[0192] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can directly long press and drag the target application when the large folder is not expanded to move the target application to the position in the large folder. For example, as shown in Figure 21, the user can long press the contact application icon 311F and move the contact application icon 311F to In response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 moves the contact application icon 311F in the large folder 1. As shown in FIG22 , the electronic device 100 can move the contact application icon 311F from the grid 2-3 where it was originally located to the grid 3-2. The application icon 311E moves from the grid 2-2 to the grid 3-3. That is, the electronic device 100 moves the contact application icon 311F and The application icon 311E swaps positions. It is understandable that the user can move the contact application icon 311F to any of the nine grids of the large folder 1, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0193] Optionally, in a possible implementation, when the user moves the contact application icon 311F to the grid at the lower right corner of the large folder 1, ie, the grid 3-3, the electronic device 100 may display the contact application icon 311F in a reduced size.

[0194] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the large folder is not expanded, the user can only long press the application icons in the eight grids of the large folder, namely grid 1-1, grid 1-2, grid 1-3, grid 2-1, grid 2-2, grid 2-3, grid 3-1 and grid 3-2, to call out the corresponding application shortcut menu, or long press and drag to move the position of the application icon or move the application icon out of the large file, or slide up on the application icon to call out the corresponding service card. When the user long presses the application icon at grid 3-3, only the shortcut menu of the large folder can be called out. When the user long presses and drags at grid 3-3, the position of the large folder on the desktop can be moved. When the user clicks on grid 3-3 of the large folder, the electronic device 100 can expand the large folder. In this way, you can easily and quickly implement the related functions of the application icons in the 8 grids of the large folder, including Grid 1-1, Grid 1-2, Grid 1-3, Grid 2-1, Grid 2-2, Grid 2-3, Grid 3-1 and Grid 3-2 (for example, calling up the shortcut menu corresponding to the application icon, moving the application icon, moving the application icon out of the large folder, calling out the service card, etc.) without affecting the original functions of the large folder (for example, expanding the large folder, moving the large folder, etc.).

[0195] FIG23 exemplarily shows a flowchart of a folder interaction method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG23 , a folder interaction method provided in an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0196] S2301 : The electronic device 100 detects a user operation 1 in which the user drags the icon of application 1 onto the icon of application 2 .

[0197] S2302. In response to user operation 1, the electronic device 100 generates a small folder A on the desktop. The small folder A contains an icon of application 1 and an icon of application 2.

[0198] The user can combine the icons of any two applications into a small folder on the desktop of the electronic device 100. For example, the user can drag the icon of application 1 onto the icon of application 2. Upon detecting the user operation 1, the electronic device 100 can generate a small folder A on the desktop. The small folder A can contain the icon of application 2 and the icon of application 1. For example, the icon of application 1 can be the music application icon 308 shown in Figure 3, and the icon of application 2 can be the sports and health application icon 307 shown in Figure 3. As shown in Figure 24, the user can drag the music application icon 308 onto the sports and health application icon 307. In response to the user operation, as shown in Figure 25, the electronic device 100 can generate a small folder and display the icon 314 of the small folder. The small folder can include the music application icon 308 and the sports and health application icon 307.

[0199] It is understandable that the electronic device 100 can display the icon of application 1 and the icon of application 2 in the small folder A in a reduced size. In other words, the size of the icon of application 1 and the size of the icon of application 2 in the small folder A are both smaller than the size of the icon of application 1 displayed on the desktop and the size of the icon of application 2 displayed on the desktop before the user operation 1. As shown in Figure 25, the size of the music application icon 308 in the small folder can be smaller than the size of the music application icon 308 shown in Figure 3. The size of the sports and health application icon 307 in the small folder shown in Figure 25 can be smaller than the size of the sports and health application icon 307 shown in Figure 3. In this way, the small folder can accommodate more application icons.

[0200] S2303: The electronic device 100 detects user operation 2 of long pressing the small folder A.

[0201] S2304. In response to user operation 2, the electronic device 100 displays function option 1, which is used to display small folder A as large folder B.

[0202] S2305 : The electronic device 100 detects user operation 3 in which the user clicks on function option 1 .

[0203] S2306. In response to user operation 3, the electronic device 100 displays the large folder B, which contains the icon of application 1 and the icon of application 2. The icon of application 1 is located in grid 1 of large folder B, and the icon of application 2 is located in grid 2 of large folder B.

[0204] The user can also display the small folder A as the large folder B on the electronic device 100. Specifically, the electronic device 100 can detect the user operation 2 of the user long pressing the small folder A. In response to the user operation 2, the electronic device 100 can display a shortcut menu of the small folder, which can include function option 1. The function option 1 can be used to display the small folder A as the large folder B. For example, take the small folder shown in Figure 26 as an example. As shown in Figure 26, the user can long press the icon 314 of the small folder. In response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 can display a shortcut menu 2701 as shown in Figure 27. The shortcut menu 2701 can include a function option 2702 for displaying the small folder as a large folder, and a function option 2703 for renaming the name of the small folder.

[0205] The function option 1 may be the function option 2702 shown in Figure 27. As shown in Figure 28, the user may click on the function option 2702. In response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 may display a large folder 2 as shown in Figure 29.

[0206] It is understandable that the large folder B can be the large folder 2 shown in Figure 29, or the large folder 1 shown in Figure 27. When the large folder B is the large folder 1 shown in Figure 27, the display process of the large folder 1 can refer to the display process of the large folder 2. The number of application icons in the large folder B can be greater than 2. In some examples, after the user combines two application icons into a small folder, he can continue to move other application icons into the small folder, and then long press the small folder and click function option 1 to display the small folder as a large folder. Optionally, in other examples, the user can also display the small folder A as a large folder B, and then drag or add application icons to the large folder B.

[0207] In an embodiment of the present application, when a large folder is displayed on the desktop of the electronic device 100, the user can directly perform the following four operations on the applications in the large folder without expanding the large folder.

[0208] Operation method 1: Steps S2307a to S2310a, when the large folder is not expanded, directly long press the application icon in the large folder to call out the application shortcut menu.

[0209] S2307a: The electronic device 100 detects user operation 4 of long pressing the icon of application 1 in large folder B.

[0210] S2308a. In response to user operation 4, the electronic device 100 displays shortcut menu 1 of application 1. The shortcut menu 1 includes one or more function options provided by application 1, and the one or more function options include function option 1.

[0211] S2309a: The electronic device 100 detects user operation 5 in which the user clicks on function option 1.

[0212] S2310a. In response to user operation 5, the electronic device 100 executes the function corresponding to function option 1.

[0213] Electronic device 100 may detect user operation 4, which is a user long pressing the icon of application 1 in large folder B. For example, the icon of application 1 may be contact application icon 311F in large folder 1 as shown in FIG5 . User operation 4 may be a user long pressing the contact application icon 311F in large folder 1.

[0214] In response to user operation 4, electronic device 100 may display shortcut menu 1 for application 1. Shortcut menu 1 includes one or more function options provided by application 1, and the one or more function options include function option 1. For example, as shown in FIG17 , shortcut menu 1 may be contact application shortcut menu 1701 and / or contact application shortcut menu 1702 shown in FIG17 . Function option 1 may be any function option included in contact application shortcut menu 1701 and / or contact application shortcut menu 1702.

[0215] Optionally, while displaying shortcut menu 1 of application 1, electronic device 100 may also display a shortcut menu of large folder B. For example, the shortcut menu of large folder B may be shortcut menu 1703 of large folder 1 shown in FIG17 . This embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0216] Optionally, the electronic device 100 may also detect a user operation 5 in which the user clicks on function option 1. In response to the user operation 5, the electronic device 100 may execute the function corresponding to function option 1. For example, take function option 1 as the "New Contact" function option shown in FIG17 as an example. When the user clicks on the "New Contact" function option, in response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 may enter a new contact page in the contacts application. On this page, the user can add contact-related information (e.g., contact name, phone number, etc.).

[0217] It is understandable that the function options included in the shortcut menus corresponding to different applications may be different. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the shortcut menu 1 of the application 1 and the function options specifically included in the shortcut menu 1.

[0218] Operation method 2: Steps S2307b-S2308b: When the large folder is not expanded, long press the application icon in the large folder B and move the application icon to the position in the large folder.

[0219] S2307b: The electronic device 100 detects a user operation 6 of moving the icon of application 1 from grid 1 to grid 2 in large folder B.

[0220] S2308b. In response to user operation 6, the electronic device 100 displays the icon of application 1 in grid 2.

[0221] Optionally, in a possible implementation, the user can also long press the icon of application 1 and move the position of the icon of application 1 when the large folder B is not expanded. The electronic device 100 can detect the user operation 6 of the user moving the icon of application 1 from grid 1 to grid 2 in the large folder B. In response to the user operation 6, the electronic device 100 can display the icon of application 1 at grid 2. For example, taking the icon of application 1 as the contact application icon 311F shown in Figure 21 as an example, the user can move the contact application icon 311F to In response to the user operation, as shown in FIG22 , the electronic device 100 can move the contact application icon 311F to the grid where the application icon 311E is located. The grid where the application icon 311E is located. For details, please refer to the above description of FIG22 and will not be repeated here.

[0222] Optionally, in a possible implementation, if grid 2 is in the same row as grid 1, adjacent to and located on the left side of grid 1, when the electronic device 100 displays the icon of application 1 at grid 2, it can also display the icon of application 2 at grid 1.

[0223] Optionally, in one possible implementation, if grid 2 is located in the upper row of grid 1, when the electronic device 100 displays the icon of application 1 in grid 2, the icon of application 2 may also be displayed in the grid adjacent to the right of grid 2 or in the next row of grids. For example, taking the large folder 1 shown in FIG4 as having three rows of grids, if grid 2 is located in the first row, grid 1 is located in the second or third row. If grid 2 is located in grid 1-1 in the first row, then when the electronic device 100 displays the icon of application 1 in grid 1-1, the icon of application 2 may be displayed in grid 1-2. If grid 2 is grid 1-2, then when the electronic device 100 displays the icon of application 1 in grid 1-2, the icon of application 2 may be displayed in grid 1-3. If grid 2 is grid 1-3, then when the electronic device 100 displays the icon of application 1 in grid 1-3, the icon of application 2 may be displayed in grid 2-1.

[0224] Optionally, in one possible implementation, if grid 2 is located in the next row of grid 1, when the electronic device 100 displays the icon of application 1 in grid 2, it can also display the icon of application 2 in the grid adjacent to the left of grid 2 or in the previous row of grids.

[0225] Operation method 3: Steps S2309b to S2310b, when the large folder is not expanded, directly slide upwards on the application icon in the large folder B to call out the service card of the application.

[0226] S2309b: The electronic device 100 detects a user operation 8 of sliding upward on the icon of application 1 in large folder B.

[0227] S2310b , in response to user operation 8 , the electronic device 100 displays the service card 1 of the application 1 .

[0228] Optionally, in a possible implementation, the user can also directly swipe upwards on the application icon in the large folder B to call out the service card of the application when the large folder B is not expanded. Specifically, the electronic device 100 can detect the user operation 8 of the user swiping upwards on the icon of application 1 in the large folder B. In response to the user operation 8, the electronic device 100 can display the service card 1 of application 1. Exemplarily, taking the large folder B as the large folder 1 shown in Figure 18 as an example, the icon of application 1 can be the contact application icon 311F in the large folder 1. The user can swipe upwards on the contact application icon 311F in the large folder 1, and in response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 can display the service card 803 as shown in Figure 19.

[0229] Operation method 4: Steps S2307c-S2308c: When the large folder is not expanded, long press the application icon in the large folder B and move the application icon out of the large folder.

[0230] S2307c: The electronic device 100 detects user operation 7 of the user long pressing the icon of application 2 in the large folder B and dragging the icon of application 2 out of the large folder B.

[0231] S2308c. In response to user operation 7, the electronic device 100 displays the icon of application 2 in area 1 of the desktop. Area 1 is the area outside the large folder B on the desktop.

[0232] Optionally, in a possible implementation, the user can also long press the application icon in the large folder B and move the application icon out of the large folder when the large folder B is not expanded. The electronic device 100 can detect the user operation 7 of long pressing the icon of application 2 in the large folder B and dragging the icon of application 2 out of the large folder. In response to the user operation 7, the electronic device 100 can display the icon of application 2 in area 1 of the desktop, which is the area outside the large folder B on the desktop. As shown in Figure 20, take the large folder B as the large folder B shown in Figure 20, and the icon of application 2 as the contact application icon 311F in the large folder 1 as an example. The user can long press the contact application icon 311F and drag the contact application icon 311F out of the large folder 1. In response to the user operation, the electronic device 100 can display the contact application icon 311F in the dock area 313 and no longer display it in the large folder 1.

[0233] Furthermore, in a possible implementation, when there are only two application icons in the large folder B, for example, the icon of application 1 and the icon of application 2, after the electronic device 100 drags the icon of application 2 out of the large folder B, the electronic device 100 may no longer display the large folder B and directly display the icon of application 1 on the desktop.

[0234] It is understandable that the icons of application 1 and application 2 are not in the lower right grid in the large folder B (for example, grid 3-3 shown in Figure 4). In this way, the user can operate the lower right grid to implement the functions for the large folder. For example, the user can click the lower right grid to expand the large folder. The user can also long press the lower right grid to call up the shortcut menu of the large folder. The user can also long press the lower right grid and drag to move the position of the large folder on the desktop.

[0235] It is understandable that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the execution order of the above four operation methods. When the number of application icons in the large folder B exceeds 2, the electronic device 100 may first execute any one of steps S2307a-step S2310a, step S2307b-step S2308b, step S2309b-step S2310b, and step S2307c-step S2308c. For example, the electronic device 100 may first execute steps S2309b-step S2310b, then execute steps S2307b-step S2308b, then execute S2307a-step S2310a, and finally, the electronic device 100 executes steps S2307c-step S2308c. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the execution order of steps S2307a-step S2310a, steps S2307b-step S2308b, steps S2309b-step S2310b, and steps S2307c-step S2308c. When there are only two application icons in large folder B, after the electronic device 100 moves one of the application icons in large folder B out of large folder B according to steps S2307c-step S2308c, the electronic device 100 no longer displays large folder B, and the electronic device 100 may no longer execute steps S2307a-step S2310a, steps S2307b-step S2308b, and steps S2309b-step S2310b. However, if the electronic device 100 has other large folders, the user can operate the application icons in other large folders according to any one of steps S2307a-S2310a, steps S2307b-S2308b, steps S2309b-S2310b, and steps S2307c-S2308c.

[0236] The embodiment of the present application provides a folder interaction method. Users do not need to expand a large folder. They can directly long press the target application icon in the large folder to call out the corresponding application shortcut menu. Moreover, users do not need to expand the large folder. They can directly long press the target application icon in the large folder to move the target application icon to the position in the large folder or drag out the large folder. In addition, the user can also swipe up on the target application icon in the large folder to call out the corresponding service card without expanding the large folder. In this way, user operation is simpler and faster, which can improve the user experience.

[0237] It is understood that the folder interaction method provided in the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to foldable screen devices. When the foldable screen device is in the unfolded state, since the unfolded display is larger than the folded display, when the user directly drags an application icon from the unfolded large folder, the area on the display screen where the application icon can be placed is larger. In other words, the user can drag over a wider range, thus providing a more obvious user interaction experience.

[0238] In the embodiment of the present application, the first application, the second application, and the third application may be any application displayed on the user's desktop. For example, the first application, the second application, and the third application may be any application icon shown in the large folder 1 shown in FIG3 . The fourth application may be an application configured with a service card. For example, the fourth application may be any application such as the gallery application, the music application, or the contact application shown in FIG3 .

[0239] An embodiment of the present application also provides a chip system, including: a processor, the processor is coupled to a memory, the memory is used to store programs or instructions, when the program or instructions are executed by the processor, the chip system implements the method in any of the above method embodiments.

[0240] In some examples, there may be one or more processors in the chip system. The processor may be implemented in hardware or software.
