Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
At present, icons of APPs installed on terminals such as mobile phones (especially icons of APPs of third parties) all come from original icons (as shown in fig. 1) stored in an installation package of the terminal, and in the related art, after the APPs are installed, the original icons can be directly displayed to areas such as a desktop, or when the original icons are displayed to a certain preset area, if the original icons are not matched with the size of the preset area, the original icons can be further displayed to the preset area (for example, displayed to an installed application list) after operations such as stretching, compressing, simple shape transformation and the like are performed on the original icons, which results in a single display style (that is, the display styles are default styles of the original icons) and display styles of different APPs are not uniform.
In order to solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an icon generating method, which may be used in an icon generating program, system or device, and an execution subject corresponding to the method may be a terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer, and the like, as shown in fig. 2, and the method includes steps S201 to S203:
in step S201, an original icon of an application is acquired.
When the original icon of the application is obtained, the original icon may be obtained from an installation package of the application or from another preset storage location (e.g., a terminal or a server in which the application is installed).
The application may be any application provided by an official party, i.e. the manufacturer of the generating terminal, or any application provided by a third party.
The original icon is the original icon of the application, such as the icon shown in fig. 1, wherein "+" in fig. 1 represents the mark in the original icon. For example, when the application is a "beauty show," the "+" is the "show" in the "beauty show". As another example, when the application is "58 city," the "+" character is the "58" character in "58 city," and the rest is the background portion in the original icon. Also for example, when the application is "QQ", the "+" is the penguin's design.
In step S202, icon setting parameters corresponding to the application are acquired.
The icon setting parameters may be some preset personalized icon parameters, or some parameters automatically acquired according to the application and its original icon.
In addition, the icon setting parameters corresponding to different applications can be different, so that more personalized display requirements can be met.
In step S203, a target icon corresponding to the application is generated according to the original icon and the icon setting parameter.
According to the original icon and the icon setting parameters, a new target icon corresponding to the application can be automatically generated, so that the target icon of the application with personalized display style can be obtained, the situation that the icon of the application is stiff and single is avoided, the personalized requirement of a user on the display style of the icon is met, and meanwhile, the icon of the application is more attractive.
Further, if when a plurality of applications are installed, the above embodiment is adopted to obtain new icons of each application, so that the new icons of the plurality of applications in the installed APP list all have the same display style, but have different display effects.
In addition, some of the icon setting parameters may have been previously set in a desktop application for managing the desktop, and thus, the above-described steps S201 to S203 may be completed by the desktop application.
In one embodiment, step S201 shown in fig. 1 may be performed as follows:
when the application is installed, the original icon prestored in the installation package of the application is obtained.
In order to generate a new icon corresponding to the application as soon as possible, the original icon pre-stored in the installation package of the application can be automatically acquired when the application is installed, so that the target icon can be directly generated according to the original icon when the application is installed.
In one embodiment, the icon setting parameters include:
presetting position relations between pre-stored original icons and preset image layers in the target icons; and the display parameters of each preset layer in the target icon.

Of course, in order to ensure that a target icon with a more personalized display mode can be obtained, the icon setting parameters should also include display parameters of each preset layer in the target icon.
In addition, the icon setting parameters corresponding to different applications can be different, so that more personalized display requirements can be met.
Of course, in order to make the display style more uniform, the icon setting parameters corresponding to each application program in the same type of application program may be the same or have smaller differences, for example: the preset position relationship between the original icon of each application in the same application program and each preset layer in the target icon of each application may be the same, and the display parameters of each preset layer in the target icons of different applications in the same application program may be slightly different.
In one embodiment, the display parameters of each preset layer include: at least one of a preset shape of each preset layer, a preset size of each preset layer, a preset transparency of each preset layer, and a color parameter of each preset layer.
The display parameters of each preset image layer may be preset in the desktop application program or prestored in a certain preset position.
As shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment, when each preset layer includes a first preset layer and a second preset layer, step S203 shown in fig. 2 may include:
in step a1, a first preset layer is generated according to the display parameters of the first preset layer;
in step a2, generating the second preset layer according to the display parameter of the second preset layer;
in step a3, when the original icon and the first and second preset layers are in a position relationship that the original icon and the second preset layer are both covered on the first preset layer and the original icon is located above the second preset layer, the second preset layer and the original icon are covered on the first preset layer and the original icon is placed above the second preset layer to obtain the target icon.
And when the position relation between the original icon and the first preset image layer and the position relation between the original icon and the second preset image layer are that the original icon and the second preset image layer are both covered on the first preset image layer and the original icon is positioned above the second preset image layer, the first preset image layer is a background layer of the target icon and the second preset image layer. Optionally, after the first preset layer is drawn according to the display parameters of the first preset layer, the second preset layer is drawn according to the display parameters of the second preset layer, such as the preset shape, the preset size, the preset transparency, the color parameters, and the like, and then after the second preset layer is drawn, the second preset layer and the original icon are overlaid on the first preset layer, and the original icon is placed (e.g., moved) above the second preset layer, so that the target icon of the application with a personalized display style (where the target icon is shown in fig. 4) is obtained, thereby avoiding that the icon of the application is stiff and single, meeting the personalized requirements of the user on the display style of the icon, and simultaneously making the icon of the application more beautiful.
In an embodiment, when the icon setting parameter is a color parameter in the display parameter of the first preset layer, step S202 shown in fig. 2 may be performed as:
acquiring an identifier of an installation package of an application;
the identification of the installation package comprises: the name, number, etc. of the installation package is used to uniquely identify the information of the installation package.

When the color parameter of the first preset layer in the icon setting parameter is obtained, the identifier of the installation package can be used as the input of the preset algorithm, and then the output of the preset algorithm is used as the color parameter of the first preset layer, so that the personalized color parameter of the first preset layer can be automatically obtained according to the applied installation package.
In an embodiment, when the icon setting parameter is a color parameter in the display parameter of the first preset layer, step S202 shown in fig. 2 may be performed as:
acquiring color parameters of various colors in the original icon;
and acquiring the color parameters of the first preset layer according to the color parameters of various colors.
When the color parameters of the first preset layer in the icon setting parameters are obtained, color parameters of various colors in the original icon, that is, RGB values, may also be obtained, and then the color parameters of the first preset layer are automatically obtained according to the color parameters of the various colors, and when the color parameters of the first preset layer are automatically obtained, according to the fact that the color parameters of various colors in the original icon are directly used as the values of the color parameters of the first preset layer, or in order to make the color of the first preset layer have a large difference from the color of the original icon to highlight the original icon and the first preset layer, the color parameters of various colors in the original icon may be adjusted, so as to obtain the values of the color parameters of the first preset layer (for example, only the color parameters of a part of the colors in the original icon are used as the values of the color parameters of the first preset layer, or taking a value with larger contrast with the color parameters of various colors in the original icon as the value of the color parameter of the first preset layer).
In one embodiment, the application is a third party application.
