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 some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. 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.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of an application icon management method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and applied to an electronic device, the method includes:

step S1: and under the condition that the target application icon is in a hidden state, acquiring target attribute information of the target application.

In the present embodiment, based on the deficiencies mentioned in the prior art, it is preferable that the application icons in the desktop interface of the electronic device are managed. In the management method of this embodiment, the desktop interfaces of the electronic device are divided into two types, where one type of desktop interface is in a normally displayed state and is defined as a first desktop interface, and the other type of desktop interface is in a normally hidden state and is defined as a second desktop interface.

And under the operation of a user, the second desktop interface can be switched to a display state.

Therefore, in the embodiment, the icons of some infrequent applications can be automatically moved to the second desktop interface of the electronic device by the electronic device or manually by the user, so that the first desktop interface only displays some application icons with higher use frequency, and the desktop displayed by the electronic device is neat and convenient for the user to quickly find any application icon. Meanwhile, the application icon in the second desktop interface of the electronic equipment is in a hidden state.

It should be noted that, based on other realizable manners of the present embodiment, the application icon may also enter the hidden state by other manners, and is not limited to enter the hidden state in the desktop interface. Further, the application icon may be restored to the display state in other ways, not limited to restoring the display state in the desktop interface.

Further, some application icons located in the second desktop interface hidden by the electronic device may be moved to the first desktop interface displayed by the electronic device in time for the user to use based on the management method in this embodiment.

Preferably, for convenience of distinguishing, in the embodiment of the present invention, an operation of moving an application icon from a first desktop interface to a second desktop interface is referred to as a hidden operation on the application icon; the operation of moving the application icon from the second desktop interface to the first desktop interface is referred to as a wake-up operation on the application icon.

In this embodiment, at least one application icon located in the second desktop interface hidden by the electronic device is preferably used as the target application icon.

First, target attribute information of the target application is acquired in step S1.

For example, the attribute information of the target application may include a name of the target application; the attribute information of the target application can also comprise the type of the target application, such as shopping, travel and tourism; the attribute information of the target application may further include environmental factors associated with the target application, such as geographic location; the attribute information of the target application can also comprise human factors related to the target application, such as a user-defined awakening period and awakening time; and so on.

Preferably, the attribute information of the target application may be several tags, so that several tags of the target application are acquired in this step.

Preferably, for all application icons in the electronic device, attribute information of each application can be acquired respectively; preferably, the attribute information of the application can be acquired when the application icon moves to the second desktop interface, that is, when the application icon is in a hidden state.

Preferably, in this step, the target attribute information includes all tags of the target application.

Preferably, in this step, the target attribute information includes a partial tag of the target application, e.g., only a partial tag for matching with the environment information where the current electronic device is located.

Step S2: and switching the target application icon to a display state under the condition that the environment information of the electronic equipment is associated with the target attribute information.

In this step, when the target application icon is in a hidden state, the environmental information where the electronic device is located can be acquired in real time.

Illustratively, the environmental information includes time information, geographical location information, holiday information, and the like.

Therefore, in this step, if at least one information content in the environment information where the electronic device is located is associated with at least one tag of the target application, the electronic device may automatically wake up the target application icon, that is, move the target application icon from the hidden second desktop interface to the displayed first desktop interface, and restore the display state of the target application icon.

Illustratively, if the tag of the target application comprises "shopping", when the time information of acquiring the environment information of the electronic device indicates a positive shopping festival or a shopping festival, automatically waking up the target application icon to enable the target application icon to enter a display state; if the label of the target application comprises 'travel' and 'travel', automatically waking up the target application icon when the time information of the acquired environmental information of the electronic equipment indicates a positive holiday or a holiday close to a holiday, and enabling the target application icon to enter a display state; if the label of the target application comprises 'overseas', automatically waking up the target application icon when the geographic position information of the obtained environmental information of the electronic equipment indicates that the electronic equipment is overseas or is close to the overseas, so that the target application icon enters a display state; if the tag of the target application comprises that the awakening period is 8: 00-18: 00 every day, automatically awakening the target application icon when the time information indication of the acquired environment information of the electronic equipment is currently 8:00, so that the target application icon enters a display state.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may automatically wake up the hidden application icon according to the tag of each application in the hidden state through a preset wake-up policy, so as to restore the display state of the application icon, and further enable the icon of the application with a low frequency of use to be in the hidden state under a general condition, such as being located on a hidden desktop, and restore the display state when a holiday is approached or at a time required by another user, such as restoring the hidden application icon to the display desktop for use by the user.

Further, corresponding wake-up policies may be preset for different applications.

TABLE 1

Referring to table 1, for example, for travel and tourism applications, the date of the holiday may be obtained in advance, and the application icon may be automatically woken up 30 days before the holiday; as another example, for a shopping-like application, the date of the shopping festival may be obtained in advance and the application icon may be automatically woken up 5 days before the shopping festival.

In practical application, a user does not often use some travel and trip applications, most of such application icons are hidden in daily use, when a holiday such as five-one, eleven and the like is approached, most of users can travel to select travel or go home and need to arrange a journey in advance, such as ordering tickets, hotels and the like, and at the moment, the hidden application icons of the travel and trip labels can be intelligently awakened and displayed in a desktop interface according to a preset awakening strategy. Further, after traveling, such application icons are gradually hidden.

TABLE 2

For another example, for an application used overseas, information of a Global Positioning System (GPS) used by a user when the application is used may be obtained in advance, and the obtained GPS information may be used as a tag, so that the application icon may be automatically woken up when the electronic device locates overseas.

Referring to table 2, in practical applications, when a user uses "APP (Application) 1", the recorded longitude and latitude range of the historical common geographic location is { [25,70] - [30,85] }, which is recorded as GPS information using "APP 1" as a label of "APP 1". When the user is domestic, the APP1 is not used and the application icon is hidden. When a user goes out overseas, the current environment information is positioned in the range of { [25,70] - [30,85] } from the position and the orientation of the APP1 which is frequently used at one time, and at the moment, according to a preset awakening strategy, the hidden application icon of the APP1 is intelligently awakened and displayed in a desktop interface. Further, the APP icon of "APP 1" continues to be hidden when leaving the above range.

TABLE 3

Referring to table 3, for another example, for "APP 2", a corresponding label "work" may be obtained according to the function that can be realized, and the work time of the user may be obtained in advance, where the work time of the user is weekly one to friday, and 8:00 to 18:00 per day. At this time, according to a preset awakening strategy, at 8:00 times of Monday to Friday every week, the hidden APP2 icon is intelligently awakened and displayed in the desktop interface. Further, the "APP 2" icon continues to be hidden at 18:00 on monday through friday each week.

Therefore, in combination with the above, it can be seen that the association between the environment information where the electronic device is located and the target attribute information includes various situations, not limited to the above-mentioned "shopping" tag being associated with a shopping festival, "travel" tag being associated with a holiday, "overseas" tag being associated with overseas positioning; more explanations on "association" in this step can be made according to actual situations.

For example, in addition to simple positioning according to overseas and the like, the location-based intelligent wake-up strategy can also consider a setting model to realize wake-up recommendation of each application icon based on the GPS location.

In addition, the user can manually preset the corresponding wake-up strategy for different applications. Thus, a user can customize the wake policy for any type of application, or for one application.

For example, the user can flexibly set the wake-up time periods of the application icons, and the wake-up time period of each day, the wake-up time period of each week and the wake-up time period of each month can be set for each application icon.

Correspondingly, after step S1, the following steps may be added in the embodiment of the present invention:

receiving input of a target application identifier by a user;

and responding to the input of the user to the target application identification, and setting target attribute information of the target application. The target attribute information may include a wake-up time of the target application icon, and the like.

Therefore, under the condition that the environment information where the electronic equipment is located is associated with the target attribute information, the target application icon is moved to the first desktop interface displayed by the electronic equipment.

Illustratively, the user can enter custom settings in the application management interface by pressing the hidden application identifier. If the user presses the identifier of "APP 2" for a long time, the user enters the setting interface, so that the user can customize the wake-up period of "APP 2", wherein the wake-up period may be 8: 00-18: 00 per day, and may be from monday to friday per week, and further serve as the target attribute information of "APP 2". Further, the "APP 2" icon is automatically woken up at 8:00 on monday through friday each week, causing the "APP 2" icon to enter the display desktop, and the "APP 2" icon is automatically hidden after 18:00 on monday through friday each week, causing the "APP 2" icon to be taken in the hidden desktop.

Therefore, the user can customize the awakening strategy of each hidden application icon, and personalized customization is realized, so that the management requirement of the user on the uncommon application icons can be accurately met.

The method comprises the steps that whether the user self-defines the application icons automatically or manually, the corresponding awakening strategies are preset for different applications, and intelligent awakening of the application icons can be achieved. Furthermore, corresponding hiding strategies are preset for different applications, and intelligent hiding of application icons can be achieved.

In another embodiment of the invention, an electronic device includes a multi-page desktop interface, each page of the desktop interface displaying a number of application icons. After a user selects to start an intelligent hidden function of an uncommon application, or when a target application is detected to meet the condition of a hidden icon, a new desktop interface can be created in the electronic equipment and used as a hidden second desktop interface, the hidden second desktop interface is displayed as a blank desktop interface or an undisplayed desktop interface, and the application icon in the second desktop interface cannot be displayed to the user. Preferably, when the electronic device enters a desktop management mode, all desktop interfaces included in the electronic device, including the second desktop interface, may be synchronously displayed, and at the same time, an application icon in the second desktop interface is displayed.

In this embodiment, the hidden desktop interface is realized based on the original desktop interface, and the application icons in the normally displayed first desktop interface can be moved into the hidden second desktop interface, i.e. the application is classified as an uncommon application; meanwhile, through the management of the desktop icons, the hidden application icons can be moved into the normally displayed first desktop interface, namely, the display is recovered.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, fig. 2 shows a flowchart of an application icon management method according to another embodiment of the present invention, where before the target application icon is in a hidden state, preferably before step S1, the method further includes:

step S3: and under the condition that the target application icon is in a display state, acquiring the target use frequency and the target use duration of the target application in a preset period.

Preferably, corresponding to each application icon in the display state, for example, for each application icon displayed in the first desktop interface, the electronic device may monitor the time when each application is opened by the user, so as to obtain the user usage of each application, so as to record the relevant usage data of each application.

The relevant usage data of the application may include the usage frequency, usage duration, usage time, and other data of the application.

Preferably, the preset period is set to 30 days, i.e., one month, based on the usage habit of the user, so as to acquire the number of days that the user opens the application in one month to reflect the usage frequency in the preset period, and acquire the cumulative duration of usage of the application in one month by the user to reflect as the usage duration in the preset period.

In practical application, when a user clicks an application icon to open an application through a screen, the system monitors and records the time of opening the application and further records the use duration of the application resident by the user, so that the number of days for opening the application in one month and the total use duration for using the application resident in one month can be recorded in a cumulative manner.

Step S4: and switching the target application icon to a hidden state under at least one condition that the target use frequency is less than a first threshold value and the target use duration is less than a second threshold value.

In this step, whether each application is an unusual application is distinguished by comparing the usage frequency of each application in a preset period with a first threshold and comparing the usage duration of each application in the preset period with a second threshold.

Preferably, for any target application, when the target use frequency of the target application in a preset period is less than a first threshold and the target use time of the target application in the preset period is less than a second threshold, the target application is determined as an unusual application; or, for any target application, when the target use frequency of the target application in a preset period is smaller than a first threshold, or the target use time of the target application in the preset period is smaller than a second threshold, determining the target application as an unusual application.

Correspondingly, the first threshold may be a specific number of days in case the frequency of use within a preset period is reflected by the number of days the application is opened within one month.

In addition, the number of days that the user does not open the application in one month can be acquired to reflect the use frequency in the preset period, and correspondingly, the corresponding reference threshold value can be preset.

TABLE 4

Referring to table 4, in practical applications, the electronic device may obtain relevant usage data of each application, and build a table for recording. Firstly, the electronic device can record the name (Appid) of each application as an application unique identifier, when the application is clicked to open by a user (desktop click, search click), the opening time of the application is updated, the number of open days is recorded, and the number of open days of the application in a counting period (one month) is counted; when the user switches the application to the background or closes the application, the operating duration of the application resident by the user is calculated through the switching or closing time, and the operating duration is accumulated on the using duration in a month.

Further, the hiding number of days threshold is used for judging whether the number of days of application non-use reaches the threshold; when the number of days of unused application reaches the threshold, judging that the application is not frequently used, and automatically hiding the application icon; the hidden duration threshold (i.e. the second threshold) is used for judging whether the application use duration reaches the threshold, and when the application use duration does not reach the threshold, the application is judged to be an uncommon application, and the application icon is automatically hidden.

Further, the hidden identifier is used for identifying whether the application icon belongs to a hidden state or a displayed state. For example, when the application is determined to be an uncommon application, the application icon is hidden, the hidden identifier is "true", and the hidden identifier corresponds to a hidden state; when the application is judged to be the common application, the application icon is displayed, the hidden identification symbol is 'False', and the hidden identification symbol corresponds to a display state.

Further, the tag is used to embody attribute information of the application. Preferably, when the application icon enters the hidden state for the first time, the tag is generated by acquiring the relevant attribute information of the application.

Furthermore, the GPS is used for representing the opening geographic position of the application, the opening GPS position is recorded when the application is opened every time, and the geographic position interval of the App frequently used by the user is gradually expanded. Wherein, the opening geographic position of the application can be used as an attribute information of the application.

Preferably, in the embodiment, the preset period, the first threshold and the second threshold may be customized by a user according to a requirement, or may be customized by an electronic device.

In this embodiment, by monitoring the application use condition corresponding to each application icon in the display state in the electronic device, where the data for representing the use condition is not limited to the use frequency, the use duration, the use time, and the like, and further according to a preset first threshold, a preset second threshold, and the like, whether the use frequency and/or the use duration, and the like, of each application in a preset period reaches the corresponding threshold is determined, so as to determine whether the application corresponding to each application icon in the display state in the electronic device is an uncommon application according to the determination result, that is, whether the application icon in the display state satisfies a condition for switching the hidden state. Therefore, the judgment is carried out based on the actual use condition of the user, so that the judgment accuracy is higher. Under the condition that the use frequency, the use duration and the like of each application in a preset period reach corresponding threshold values, the user is judged to be frequently used, and in order to ensure normal use of the user, the display state of an application icon is kept, for example, the application icon is displayed on a first desktop interface; under the condition that at least one of the use frequency, the use duration and the like of each application in a preset period does not reach a corresponding threshold, the frequency of the application used by a user is low, the application is judged to be an uncommon application, in order to simplify the desktop of the user to the maximum extent and improve the satisfaction degree of the user on the desktop, icons of the uncommon applications are hidden, and if the icons are moved to a hidden second desktop interface, the timely management and updating of the desktop application icons by the electronic equipment are guaranteed. Furthermore, by combining the previous embodiment, the display state of the uncommon application icons can be restored in time in a specific scene, for example, the display state is restored to a display desktop interface, so that the use appeal of the user on the specific scene is met.

It can be seen that the embodiment shown in fig. 2 provides a method for intelligently hiding application icons based on the use condition of a user. Preferably, under the initiation of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, another embodiment of the present invention may further preset a hiding policy for a class of applications or an application, so as to implement intelligent hiding of an application icon.

Referring to table 3, for example, for "APP 2", according to the function that it can implement, the corresponding label "work" can be obtained, and the work time of the user can be obtained in advance, wherein the work time of the user is weekly one to friday, and 8:00 to 18:00 per day. At this point, the displayed "APP 2" icon is intelligently hidden at 18:00 weekly monday through friday according to a preset hiding strategy.

For another example, the user may perform the input of the custom setting by pressing the hidden application identifier in the application management interface. If the user presses the identifier of "APP 2" for a long time, the user enters the setting interface, so that the user can customize the hidden period of "APP 2", wherein the hidden period can be 18:00 days to 8:00 days of the next day, except for weekends, and then serves as the target attribute information of "APP 2". Further, the "APP 2" icon is automatically hidden at 18:00 on monday through friday of the week, causing the "APP 2" icon to enter the hidden state.

Further, in this embodiment, in combination with the embodiment shown in fig. 1, by presetting a hiding policy and a waking policy, user experience can be improved, and not only can the hidden application icon be intelligently displayed, but also the displayed application icon can be intelligently hidden during the period when the user is not using the application icon.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 2, fig. 3 shows a flowchart of an application icon management method according to another embodiment of the present invention, and step S4 includes:

step S401: and acquiring the target use interval duration of the target application based on the current time information under at least one condition that the target use frequency is less than a first threshold and the target use duration is less than a second threshold.

In this step, the target usage interval duration is preferably: and the electronic equipment records the interval duration between the time when the user opens the target application last time and the current time.

Step S402: and under the condition that the target use interval duration is greater than a third threshold value, switching the target application icon to a hidden state.

Preferably, the third threshold is customizable by a user and also customizable by the electronic device.

Preferably, the third threshold is used to represent a specified duration, such as a week. That is, if the target application has a low frequency of use in a preset period and/or has a short time duration in the preset period and the last time is one week before, the target application is determined as an infrequent application, and the target application icon may be hidden. On the contrary, if the target application has less use frequency in the preset period and/or has less use time in the preset period but the last use time is within one week, the target application is determined as a common application, and the target application icon is kept to be displayed.

Illustratively, when the electronic device is in an idle state, an intelligent hiding function of an uncommon application icon is triggered, the latest use condition of each application on a desktop interface is judged in a circulating mode, whether the unused frequency and the use duration in a period reach a hiding threshold value or not is judged, if the unused frequency and the use duration reach the hiding threshold value, hiding operation is carried out, in order to optimize experience, even if the application used by a user in the near term (within about one week) reaches the hiding threshold value, the user cannot move into the hidden desktop immediately, but waits for the next judgment, and the specific judgment logic is as follows.

Logic one: calculating the target use frequency in a preset period;

when the target use frequency is smaller than a first threshold value, obtaining a target use interval duration according to the current time-the latest opening time ═ the target use interval duration;

and when the target use interval duration is greater than a third threshold, moving the application icon into the hidden desktop.

Logic two: calculating the target use duration in a preset period;

when the target use duration is smaller than a second threshold, obtaining the target use interval duration according to the current time-the latest opening time ═ the target use interval duration;

Logic three: calculating the target use frequency in a preset period;

when the target use frequency is smaller than a first threshold value, calculating the target use duration in a preset period;

Preferably, the third threshold is used to represent a specified value, which is related to the aforementioned hiding day threshold. The corresponding judgment logic is as follows:

logic four: obtaining the number of unused days according to the accumulated number of used days in a preset period (30day) -month;

when the number of unused days is larger than the threshold of the number of hidden days, obtaining a target use interval duration according to the current time, namely the latest opening time which is the target use interval duration;

and when the target use interval duration is 5> the hiding day threshold, moving the application icon into the hidden desktop.

And a logic five:

calculating the target use duration in a preset period;

And a logic six:

obtaining the number of unused days according to the accumulated number of used days in a preset period (30day) -month;

when the number of unused days is larger than the threshold value of the number of hidden days, calculating the target use duration in a preset period;

calculating the target use duration in a preset period;

It should be noted that, in logic four to logic six, whether the application icon is moved into the hidden desktop is determined according to whether 5 times of the target use interval duration is greater than the hidden number of days threshold. The multiple may be other values, and a suitable multiple may be set according to the hiding number of days threshold, so that the product of the target usage interval duration (e.g. one day, two days) with shorter interval and the multiple is smaller than, or even much smaller than, the hiding number of days threshold, and the product of the target usage interval duration and the multiple is larger than the hiding number of days threshold only when the target usage interval duration is longer (e.g. one week).

In two cases that the third threshold is a duration threshold and the third threshold is a threshold related to a hiding day threshold, the former is only used for judging the latest opening operation, and is simple and quick; the latter reflects the operation condition of the whole period through the last opening operation, and is more accurate.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the two dimensions of the usage frequency and the usage duration of the user in the period are combined to distinguish the unusual applications, and on this basis, the embodiment further combines the operation time in the period, especially the last operation time, to distinguish the unusual applications. When the latest operation time of the user on the target application is closer to the current time, the user is defaulted to use the target application recently, the common application is judged, and the hiding operation is not performed; and when the latest operation time of the user on the target application is far away from the current time, the default user does not use the target application in the near future, and the user is judged to be an infrequent application to carry out hiding operation. Therefore, in the embodiment, the operation habit of the user is integrated to perform the hiding operation on the application icon so as to avoid mistakenly hiding the icon of the common application, thereby improving the accuracy of hiding the application icon to ensure the normal use of the user.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, fig. 4 shows a flowchart of an application icon management method according to another embodiment of the present invention, and after step S1, the method further includes:

step S5: and displaying the target type identification according to the target attribute information. The target type identification is used for indicating at least one application corresponding to the target type, and the at least one application comprises a target application.

In this embodiment, the target attribute information of the target application may be acquired when the target application icon is in a hidden state, and then the target attribute information of the target application may be analyzed, so as to associate applications belonging to the same category together according to the target attribute information.

Preferably, the target application may be categorized into a target type based on the analysis of the target attribute information. The target type identifier in this embodiment may be at least one of an icon, a shortcut, a name, a tag, and the like of the target type, and further, the target type identifier is used to indicate at least one application corresponding to the target type, and the at least one application includes the target application.

Step S6: a first input is received identifying a target type.

Step S7: responding to the first input, and switching at least one application icon corresponding to the target type from a hidden state to a display state; or, in response to the first input, switching at least one application icon corresponding to the target type from a display state to a hidden state.

In this embodiment, a user can uniformly restore all application icons of the same target type in the hidden second desktop interface to the displayed first desktop interface through the first input of the target type identifier; further, the user can also uniformly move all the application icons of the same target type in the displayed second desktop interface to the hidden second desktop interface through the first input of the target type identifier.

The first input comprises a touch gesture action and an empty gesture action, and the first input can comprise at least one gesture action in different implementation scenes, and at the same time, the at least one gesture action can be continuous or discontinuous.

For example, the target type is a shopping category, when a user presses one shopping category application icon for a long time in the hidden second desktop interface, a shopping category identifier pops up, the user selects the shopping category identifier, and all shopping category application icons can be uniformly dragged to the displayed first desktop interface; or when the user presses one shopping application icon for a long time in the displayed first desktop interface, the shopping application icon pops up, and the user selects the shopping application icon and can drag all the shopping application icons to the hidden second desktop interface in a unified manner.

Preferably, the user can preset the wake-up strategy and the hiding strategy of the target type through the first input, so that the intelligent unified wake-up operation and the hiding operation are performed on the application icons of the same target type. In addition, the electronic device can also customize the target type of wake-up policy and hidden policy.

In practical application, the target types are travel types and travel types, and when the time information in the current environment information indicates that the time information is closer to holidays, the electronic equipment synchronously moves application icons of the travel types and the travel types to a display desktop interface; and when the time information in the current environment information indicates that the time information is far away from the holidays, the electronic equipment synchronously moves the application icons of the travel class and the tourism class to the hidden desktop interface.

In this embodiment, based on the obtained target attribute information of the target application, preferably, when the target application icon is in a hidden state, the target application is divided into target types according to the target attribute information of the target application, so that the user can operate the target type identifier to uniformly hide or awaken the application icon of the type, which is simple and convenient, and avoids the hiding operation or awakening operation of multiple application icons one by one, meanwhile, multiple associated application icons are uniformly hidden or awakened, and the user can select from similar applications, so that the selectivity is high, and different requirements of the user are met.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, fig. 5 shows a flowchart of an application icon management method according to another embodiment of the present invention, where the step S1 further includes, in a case that the target application icon is in a hidden state:

step S8: a second input is received for searching the target application.

In this embodiment, because the target application icon is located in the hidden second desktop interface of the electronic device, the user cannot find the target application icon in the displayed first desktop interface. Therefore, the user can only start the target application from the application management interface, but the operation of the user is complicated, and a plurality of steps are required to be executed. In order to solve the above problem, the user may directly search for the target application in the search interface of the electronic device through the second input in this embodiment.

After the application icon is hidden, the application icon is only hidden on the desktop display, the actual application of the application is not different from the normal application in the electronic equipment, and the application is displayed and exists in the aspects of desktop searching, application store management and other functions, and any other non-desktop display function is not influenced.

Preferably, the search interface in the present embodiment includes a desktop search interface, an application store search interface, and the like.

The second input comprises a touch gesture action and an empty gesture action, and the second input can comprise at least one gesture action in different implementation scenes, and at the same time, the at least one gesture action can be continuous or discontinuous.

Referring to fig. 6, for example, the user enters the name "APP 6" of the target application in the search interface.

Step S9: in response to the second input, a target application icon is displayed in the search interface.

In this step, the target application icon is displayed directly on the current search interface in response to a search input by the user.

Referring to fig. 6, for example, after the user inputs the name "APP 6" of the target application in the search interface, an "APP 6" icon is displayed in the search interface.

Step S10: a third input is received for launching the target application.

In the case that the target application icon is displayed on the search interface, the user may directly launch the target application through the third input on the search interface.

The third input comprises a touch gesture action and an empty gesture action, and the third input can comprise at least one gesture action in different implementation scenes, and at the same time, the at least one gesture action can be continuous or discontinuous.

Referring to FIG. 6, for example, a user clicks the "APP 6" icon on the search interface.

Step S11: and responding to the third input, starting the target application, and displaying a target application icon on a first desktop interface displayed by the electronic equipment.

In this step, after the user opens the application icon by clicking the target application icon, according to the method in the foregoing embodiment, the electronic device may record the present opening operation information of the target application. Further, based on the opening operation information, the target application is not in accordance with the condition of the hidden icon, and the target application icon is moved from the hidden second desktop interface to the first desktop interface displayed by the electronic device.

In this embodiment, a method for a user to actively wake up a target application icon is provided.

In reference, when a user searches and starts a target application, and then a wakeup operation is violated, the electronic device obtains the Appid of the target application, and queries the recorded related data through the Appid. All the recorded data about the target application can be established into a table (as shown in table 5 below), and at least the name, the latest opening time, the related usage data, the threshold, the hidden identifier, the tag, the GPS and other data of the target application are recorded in the table. Thus, in this step, the correspondence table is queried by the Appid based on the offending wakeup operation.

TABLE 5

Further, based on the user's operation of opening the target application, the latest opening time is updated to the current time (as in table 6 below).

TABLE 6

Further, the target application icon is moved to the displayed first desktop interface, and the hidden identifier is updated in the table (as shown in table 7 below), so that the awakening is finished.

TABLE 7

As can be seen, the wake-up operation of the target application icon is just the reverse operation of the hidden operation. Hiding the application icon and changing the hidden mark based on the related use data; and the awakening operation is based on the related use data, displays the application icon and changes the hidden identifier.

In this embodiment, a method for a user to actively wake up a target application icon is provided when the target application icon is in a hidden state. After the application icon enters the hidden state, except for the desktop display function, other functions are normal, so that a user can search the target application on the search interface based on the name and other related information of the target application, and after the target application icon is displayed on the search interface, the user can directly start the target application in the search result of the search interface. Meanwhile, the electronic equipment can automatically record the opening time of the target application at this time and update the opening time of the target application, so that the target application icon is enabled to be no longer in accordance with the hidden condition based on the updated opening time, and the target application icon is restored to the displayed first desktop interface. Therefore, compared with a preset awakening strategy, the method for manually awakening the mobile phone provides the awakening method which is manually realized by the user according to the active requirement of the user, and is simple to operate.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, fig. 7 shows a flowchart of an application icon management method according to another embodiment of the present invention, where before the target application icon is in a hidden state, preferably before step S1, the method further includes:

step S12: and moving the target application icon from a first desktop interface displayed by the electronic equipment to a second desktop interface hidden by the electronic equipment.

In this embodiment, the target application icon may enter the hidden state by moving the target application icon from the first desktop interface displayed by the electronic device to the second desktop interface hidden by the electronic device.

Correspondingly, in the case that the target application icon is in the hidden state in step S1, the method further includes:

step S13: a fourth input is received for editing the icon.

Step S14: in response to a fourth input, a target application icon is displayed.

Referring to the foregoing embodiment, the hidden second desktop interface of the electronic device is usually in a non-display state or a blank state. Based on the fourth input of the user edit icon in this embodiment, all desktop interfaces in the electronic device enter the editing state (see fig. 8).

The fourth input comprises a touch gesture action and an empty gesture action, and the fourth input can comprise at least one gesture action in different implementation scenes, and at the same time, the at least one gesture action can be continuous or discontinuous.

For example, if the user presses any application icon in the desktop interface for a long time, the electronic device enters a desktop management mode, and all desktop interfaces enter an editing state.

Referring to fig. 8, the hidden second desktop interface is switched to the display state, and application icons located in the second desktop interface are displayed.

Step S15: a fifth input for moving the target application icon is received.

Step S16: and responding to a fifth input, and moving the target application icon into the first desktop interface displayed by the electronic equipment from the second desktop interface hidden by the electronic equipment.

In the desktop management mode, all the application icons in the desktop interface enter an editing state, and a user can move the application icons in the second desktop interface to the first desktop interface and also move the application icons in the first desktop interface to the second desktop interface.

Wherein the fifth input is preferably used to move an application icon in the second desktop interface into the first desktop interface.

The fifth input comprises a touch gesture action and an empty gesture action, and the fifth input can comprise at least one gesture action in different implementation scenes, and at the same time, the at least one gesture action can be continuous or discontinuous.

For example, the user drags any application icon in the second desktop interface into the first desktop interface.

When the user moves the target application icon in the second desktop interface to the first desktop interface, the hidden target application icon is restored to the display state, and the user can use the hidden target application icon normally.

Preferably, the target application icon is added at the end of the second display desktop by default. The electronic device updates the hidden identifier of the target application icon in the table.

In this embodiment, another method for enabling the user to actively wake up the target application icon is provided when the target application icon is in the hidden state. The user can enable the electronic equipment to enter a desktop management mode through the input of the editing icon, so that the target application icon is directly moved out of the hidden desktop, and the display state of the target application icon is recovered.

In summary, in real life, for some users who appeal to the smoothness of the desktop, application icons are generally classified according to the application functions. If the application icons are classified, the application icons are displayed on the interface, and if more than 9 application icons are arranged below each folder, the page is also displayed, so that the use of the user and the appearance of the desktop are affected.

In addition, unused applications can be cleaned periodically. According to the using condition of the user to the application program, the scheme of the application program which is not commonly used is intelligently cleaned, more space can be released under the condition that the storage is limited, and the system fluency is improved. However, in a scene with enough storage, if the infrequent applications are cleaned, a certain trouble is brought to the user, many applications are used only in a special scene, the use frequency is low, but the user is necessary to download and install the applications again when the applications are used temporarily. However, with the development of hardware, storage is not limited to the use of electronic devices, and previously, storage capacity may be limited, and it is necessary to clean memory regularly and delete invalid applications, but current storage reaches 128G, 256G, and the like, which is already popular, so that how many applications are installed in an electronic device is not really problematic for users, and if too many applications are used, users experience and feel very poor. Moreover, if the application which is not used frequently is directly deleted, if the application needs to be opened temporarily, the application is found to be absent and can be downloaded again, even the name of the installed application is forgotten sometimes, and how to find back the installation is also a trouble. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention provides a mode which can hide the application icons which are not commonly used and can be opened for use at any time when required by a user.

Compared with the prior art, the invention mainly aims to provide a novel intelligent hiding and awakening mode for the uncommon application, which can meet the occasional requirements of users on the uncommon application and can solve the appeal of the users on the simplicity and the attractive appearance of a desktop to the greatest extent. Meanwhile, the user can manage common and non-common applications in a simple and convenient way, and an intelligent way is provided to automatically recover and awaken the hidden application icon to predict the use of the user. The implementation mode of intelligent hiding and awakening of the uncommon application is concise and automatic in operation, reduces the time cost of a user on desktop arrangement, beautifies desktop display, and does not affect the occasional use function of the user.

Meanwhile, the hiding scheme in the embodiment can not cause any problem to the normal use of the application, still can receive the notification message, still can automatically upgrade the version, can search the application, has simple operation as the original desktop management, and can be directly pulled into the hidden desktop through the mobile application icon.

More, for the application installed by the user, if the application belongs to an application which is not commonly used, besides automatically hiding the icon and cleaning the desktop, the application can be considered to be limited in activity after a longer time, so that the application is prevented from some activities without the perception of the user, and user data is protected.
