App Icon Pending State Cache Clearing Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for clearing application program (APP) caches on mobile devices are inefficient, requiring the APP to be started and involving time-consuming searches for cache clearing functions, which affects user experience and system performance.
Innovation Solution
An application program data processing method that triggers a pending state for an APP icon upon a predetermined user operation, allowing for cache clearing, data processing, and completion notifications without starting the APP, using touchscreen interactions and electrical signals to manage data processing and icon state changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the APP is started to clear the cache, then the cache clearing function can be accessed, but the startup time is long and system resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads and caches the interface elements and functionality needed for cache clearing in the background. When the user initiates a cache clear operation, the necessary components are already prepared and ready, eliminating the need to start the entire APP just to access the clearing function.
Solution Approach 2:
The cache clearing functionality is extracted from the main APP execution context and made accessible through a separate, lightweight mechanism. This allows the clearing function to be invoked without launching the full application, separating the essential clearing capability from the broader APP runtime requirements.
2Ease of operation
If the APP is started to identify the cache clearing function button, then the cache can be cleared, but the search time and user effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies and presents the cache clearing function without requiring the user to search through the APP interface. The interface is designed to self-present the clearing option in a prominent, easily accessible location, eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple screens or search for the function.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface design incorporates a universal access pattern where the cache clearing function is presented in a consistent, predictable location across different APP contexts. This multi-functional approach allows the same interface pattern to serve both navigation and cache clearing purposes, reducing user cognitive load and search time.
3Productivity
If the APP is started to clear the cache, then the cache clearing operation can be performed, but the operation speed is slow due to accumulated caches
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis and preparation of the cache data structure before the actual clearing operation. By pre-identifying and organizing cache files that need to be removed, the system minimizes the processing time during the actual clearing operation, enabling faster execution even when large amounts of cache are present.

AI summary
The present application provides an application program data processing method and device. The application program data processing method includes the following: triggering a pending state of an application program when detecting a first predetermined user operation in an interface, where the interface has an icon of at least one application program; and in the pending state, processing data of a target application program to process the data of the application status when detecting a second predetermined user operation on the target application program. According to the application program data processing method and device in the present application, the data of the application program can be quickly and efficiently cleared without starting the application program, thereby improving user experience.
