Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In an actual application scenario, a user stores more application icons on a desktop of an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer, and the like, and a large number of application icons cause inconvenience for the user to find the application icons.
Specifically, the application icons of the plurality of applications included in the electronic device may be classified according to application attributes such as application types, functions, or package name suffixes, for example, when classified according to types, the application icons of the social applications may be classified into one type, the application icons of the shopping applications may be classified into one type, the application icons of the financial applications may be classified into one type, and the like. If the icons are classified according to the application functions, the application icons of the multiple applications with the same function may be classified into one category, for example, the application icons that can implement application for establishing the private network function may be classified into one category.
Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments.
However, the existing application icon management method only reduces the number of icons displayed on the first interface of the electronic device, but cannot reduce the total number of icons contained in the electronic device, when a user needs to use a certain application, after entering a folder of a corresponding type, the user still needs to search for the icon of the application from a plurality of icons in the folder, and the process is still complicated, which affects the application starting efficiency.
In order to improve the situation, the invention proposes that the application icons of the same type of application are synthesized, and the obtained new icons are used for representing the application icons of the type of application, so that the number of the application icons in the electronic equipment is reduced, a user can intuitively and quickly determine the position of the application icon of the application to be started, and the application starting efficiency is improved.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of an embodiment of an icon management method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the method may be applied to an electronic device, and the embodiment may include the following steps:
step 101: whether an operation instruction based on at least two application icons is received is detected.
In this embodiment, in order to reduce the number of application icons included in the electronic device, when a plurality of application icons need to be merged, a user may select at least two application icons that need to be merged into one application icon, and generate a corresponding operation instruction, so that the electronic device executes the operation instruction.
For example, assuming that the "application icon 1" and the "application icon 2" are application icons that a user needs to synthesize into a new icon, the user selects the two application icons, or drags one application icon onto the other application icon, and the electronic device detects a corresponding operation instruction, at this time, in order to improve the icon management reliability of the electronic device, the electronic device may detect whether the operation instruction is an operation instruction generated based on at least two application icons.
It should be noted that, the manner of detecting the operation instruction by the electronic device is not limited in the present invention, and the determination may be performed by detecting the content included in the operation instruction, or by detecting the behavior data of the adjacent time period when the operation instruction is generated, and the like, and the details of the present invention are not described herein.
In addition, in this embodiment, the electronic device detects whether the operation instruction based on the at least two application icons is received, and is not limited to dragging or selecting, and the operation instruction that can be recognized by other electronic devices is also applicable to the embodiment of the present invention.
Step 102: and when the operation instruction is detected and received, synthesizing the at least two application icons into a new icon.
In practical applications, after the electronic device detects an operation instruction, it may execute a corresponding operation by identifying the operation content of the operation instruction. In this embodiment, it is detected that the operation instruction is generated based on at least two application icons, and the at least two application icons may be merged according to a preset rule to obtain a new icon identifying the at least two application icons.
In summary, in the embodiment, after the electronic device detects and receives the operation instruction based on the at least two application icons in real time, the at least two application icons are synthesized into a new icon, so that the number of the application icons contained in the electronic device is greatly reduced, effective management of the plurality of application icons of the electronic device is realized, a user can conveniently and quickly select a target application icon according to the new icon to start a corresponding application, and the application starting efficiency is improved.
Optionally, in the present invention, after the electronic device detects and receives an operation instruction of the user on an application icon that needs to be merged, a preset splicing manner may be adopted to merge at least two application icons into a new icon.
In an actual application scenario, after the electronic device merges at least two application icons into a new icon for the first time, a user may further need to classify the application icons that are not merged according to types, functions, or package name suffixes of applications, and merge the application icons with the new icon, and a specific merging process may refer to fig. 2, which shows a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for merging an application icon with a new icon, where the embodiment of the method may include the following steps.
Step 201: detecting and receiving an operation instruction of a first application icon and the new icon;
step 202, judging whether the number of the applications corresponding to the new icon reaches a preset value, if so, executing step 203; if not, step 204 is performed.
In this embodiment, the application icon that needs to be merged with the new icon may be referred to as a first application icon, at this time, the electronic device may further merge the first application icon with the new icon according to the above manner, that is, receive an operation instruction based on the first application icon and the new icon, may execute the operation instruction to merge the first application icon and the new icon into a new icon, and the implementation process may refer to the description of the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein again.
Optionally, in order to avoid that the number of the application icons included in the new icon obtained by merging is too many and affects the user operation, a preset value may be set for the number of the merged application icons, that is, the total number of the application icons merged by the electronic device is required not to exceed the preset value, so before merging the first application icon and the new icon, the number of the application icons included in the new icon is determined according to the step 202.
For example, the preset value of the number of applications corresponding to the new icon in the electronic device is 10, that is, the total number of the application icons combined by the electronic device when forming the new icon cannot exceed 10. It is assumed that, in this step, when the electronic device receives the operation instructions of the first application icon and the new icon, the number of the application icons corresponding to the new icon is 8, at this time, the electronic device determines the number 8 of the application icons corresponding to the new icon and the size of the preset value 10, when it is determined that the number of the applications corresponding to the new icon is not less than the preset value, step 203 is entered, and when the number of the applications corresponding to the new icon is less than the preset value, step 204 is entered.
Step 203: and outputting prompt information that the icon synthesis cannot be carried out.
When the electronic equipment judges that the number of the applications corresponding to the new icon reaches the preset value, a prompt box pops up on a screen of the electronic equipment, and prompt information that the number of the application icons reaches the preset value and icon synthesis cannot be carried out is displayed in the prompt box.
Of course, the user may also be reminded in other manners that the number of the application icons at this time has reached the preset value, and the icon synthesis cannot be performed, such as presetting a warning sound, or a voice broadcast manner, and the like.
Step 204: and synthesizing the first application icon and the new icon.
When the electronic device determines that the number of the application icons corresponding to the new icon is smaller than the preset value, that is, the number of the application icons corresponding to the new icon does not reach the preset value, at this time, the electronic device merges the first application icon and the new icon, and the specific merging details may refer to step 102, which is not described herein again.
According to the embodiment, the electronic equipment can splice at least two application icons in a preset splicing mode to obtain a new icon, and when the operation instructions of the application icons and the new icon are subsequently received, the electronic equipment can also merge the application icons and the new icon in a splicing mode under the condition that the number of the application icons corresponding to the new icon does not reach the preset value. The number of the application icons is greatly reduced, and the effect of managing the application icons is achieved.
In the present invention, an electronic device merges at least two application icons in a splicing manner to obtain a new icon, at this time, the obtained new icon corresponds to multiple application icons, and the electronic device responds to a process of opening an application corresponding to the new icon by a user, which may refer to fig. 3, which shows a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for opening an application corresponding to the new icon in an embodiment of the present invention, where the embodiment of the method may include the following steps:
step 301: when a first operation for the new icon is received, an application selection mode is triggered to be entered.
In the embodiment, when the electronic equipment receives a first operation of a user on a new icon, the electronic equipment is triggered to enter an application selection mode. The first operation may be selection, specifically, click, double click, or the like. Of course, the first operation in this embodiment is not limited to single click, double click, or long press, and other operations may be set for the electronic device to be selected by the user.
When the electronic device receives a first operation for a new icon, the electronic device triggers to enter an application selection mode, and in the application selection mode, a plurality of identification areas are displayed on a screen of the electronic device, wherein a one-to-one correspondence relationship between the identification areas and the applications is preset in the electronic device, and the correspondence relationship can be stored in the electronic device in a form of a table, or can be stored in other forms.
In addition, not only the one-to-one correspondence between the identification areas and the applications, but also the one-to-one correspondence between the identification areas and the identification information of the applications is preset in the electronic device, and the storage manner of the one-to-one correspondence may refer to the storage manner of the correspondence between the identification areas and the applications, and the specific storage manner is not limited in this embodiment.
And when the electronic equipment receives a first operation aiming at the new icon, presenting an application selection mode according to the one-to-one correspondence relationship between the identification area and the application. The specific application selection mode may take a variety of forms. For example: a window is popped up on a screen of the electronic equipment at once, a plurality of identification areas are uniformly distributed on a circle with the new icon as the center of the circle and are displayed in the window, and identification information of applications corresponding to the new icon is respectively displayed on the identification areas; or a row of a plurality of identification areas which are uniformly arranged from left to right pop up immediately below the new icon, and the identification information of the application corresponding to the new icon is sequentially displayed on the identification areas according to the sequence of the application icons being merged.
Of course, the embodiment is not limited to the identification area displaying the application identification information, and is uniformly distributed on the circle with the new icon as the center of the circle, and is also not limited to the identification area displaying the application identification information, and the identification areas are sequentially arranged below the new icon from left to right, and other selection modes presented to the electronic device can be determined according to actual needs.
Step 302: and when a second operation aiming at the new icon is received, opening a target application in at least two applications corresponding to the new icon.
Because there are multiple application selection modes in the electronic device, the distribution form of the identification areas is different in each application selection mode, and the electronic device can uniquely correspond to one identification area in order to ensure the operation of the user, a one-to-one correspondence relationship between the operation mode and the identification area is preset in the electronic device. For example, in the example illustrated in step 201, the identification regions displaying the identification information of the application are uniformly distributed on a circle centered on the new icon, and each identification region has determined position information with respect to the new icon, where the position information may include a distance from the identification region to the new icon and a direction of the identification region with respect to the new icon. Therefore, preferably, a one-to-one correspondence between the operation direction and the identification area may be preset in the electronic device, and an expression form of the one-to-one correspondence may be a table form, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
Specifically, when the electronic device receives a second operation for a new icon, the electronic device determines a target application from at least two applications corresponding to the new icon based on an operation direction of the second operation and a direction of each identification area relative to the new icon, and opens the target application, referring to fig. 4, a flowchart of a method for opening the target application corresponding to the new icon according to the direction of the second operation is shown, and the method may include the following steps.
Step 401: and when the operation direction of the second operation is the first direction, determining the identification area in the first direction in the new icon as a target identification area from the at least two identification areas of the new icon.
In this embodiment, since the electronic device is preset with the one-to-one correspondence relationship between the identification region and the operation direction, when the electronic device receives the operation direction of the second operation, the identification region corresponding to the second operation direction, that is, the target identification region, may be determined according to the correspondence relationship, and then the application corresponding to the target identification region is determined.
Specifically, when the operation direction of the second operation received by the electronic device is a first direction, where the first direction may be any one direction of the identifier region relative to the new icon, the electronic device may determine the identifier region corresponding to the first direction by using a preset corresponding relationship, and since the position information of each identifier region is different, the present invention may determine the position information of the identifier region, so as to obtain the identifier region determined in the new icon according to the position information.
It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the manner of determining the target mark region from the new icon, that is, the present invention is not limited to the manner of determining the operation direction, the display position, and the like listed above.
Step 402: and opening the application corresponding to the identifier in the target identifier area.
After the target identification area is determined, the electronic equipment determines the application corresponding to the target identification area according to the one-to-one correspondence relationship between the target identification area and the application, so that the application is started, and an operation interface of the application is entered.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the electronic device presets a corresponding relationship between each identification area and an application and a corresponding relationship between each identification area and an operation direction of a new icon, and when the electronic device receives a first operation for the new icon, the electronic device is triggered to enter an application selection mode. Therefore, the invention not only reduces the number of application icons contained in the electronic equipment, but also greatly improves the application starting speed and brings great convenience to the use of users through the management mode.
