And the M icons are classified into at least one of folder icons and application icons according to the classification result of the M icons. The icons of the application programs can be subdivided according to the use frequency of the application programs. For example, in the case where the frequency of use of an application is greater than a predetermined threshold, the application may be classified as a common application. In the event that the frequency of use of an application is less than a predetermined threshold, the application may be classified as a less common application.

The following description will take as an example that the first display area is an area on the first display screen of the second electronic device, and the second display area is an area on the second display screen of the second electronic device.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, a region 202 on the first display screen of the second electronic device is the first display region, and a region 204 on the second display screen is the second display region.

After the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish a communication connection, the icons of the application programs on the main interface of the first electronic device are divided into three folder icons, namely a video folder icon, a news folder icon and a music folder icon. Thus, as shown in fig. 3, the three folder icons (i.e., the video folder icon, the news folder icon, and the music folder icon) are displayed in an area 202 on the first display screen of the second electronic device in a grouped manner of the icons of the applications in the first electronic device.

Referring to fig. 4, there are three types of icons in the area 202 on the first display screen, which are a folder icon type of icon, an icon of a common application, and an icon of an uncommon application.

As for the icon of the folder icon type, a video folder icon is described below as an example. The video folder icons in area 202 on the first display screen (i.e., the first folder icon described above) include application a through application D. Based on this, a video folder icon (i.e., the second folder icon described above) is created at a corresponding location in the area 204 on the second display screen. Then, determining whether the second electronic equipment installs each application program in the first folder icon; in the case where the second electronic device installs the application in the first folder icon, the icon of the application installed by the second electronic device is put into the video folder icon in the area 204. The second electronic device has applications a to C installed therein, and has no application D installed therein, so that the video folder icons in the area 204 include the applications a to C.

For the icons of the common applications, the icons of the common applications in the area 202 on the first display screen are: an icon of application X1, an icon of application X2, and an icon of application X3. In this case, since the second electronic device is also installed with the applications X1 through X3, an icon of the application X1, an icon of the application X2, and an icon of the application X3 are displayed in the region 204.

It should be noted that, in a case where the second electronic device does not have a certain common application program installed on the first electronic device, no icon is displayed at a corresponding position in the area 204 on the second display screen. For example, in a case where the second electronic device does not have the commonly used application program X1 installed, the icon is not displayed at the position of the corresponding application program X1 in the area 204 on the second display screen.

For the icon of the uncommon application, which is similar to the icon of the common application, since the second electronic device has installed all the uncommon applications of the first application, the icon of the uncommon application displayed in the area 202 is the same as the icon of the uncommon application displayed in the area 204.

For the second application program which is not installed in the first electronic device and is installed in the second electronic device, the second application program is determined as the application program of the predetermined type (for example, the new application program), and the icon of the second application program is displayed in the sub-area corresponding to the application program of the predetermined type in the area 204.

Therefore, the application programs respectively installed on the first electronic device and the second electronic device are classified and displayed, and the user can conveniently check the application programs respectively installed on the first electronic device and the second electronic device by displaying the folder icons and the application program icons, so that the user can conveniently manage the application programs subsequently.
