The following describes in detail a folder management method provided in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

The folder management method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene of managing folders.

Take the desktop folder of the management electronic device as an example. Assuming that a user wants to add APP icons of APP1, APP2, and APP3 in an electronic device to desktop folder 1, the user needs to search for APP icons of APPs to be moved among a plurality of APPs on the desktop, and after finding one APP icon, click the icon and drag the icon from the original position of the desktop to desktop folder 1, then return to the desktop to search for an APP icon of another APP and move another APP icon until the APP icons of 3 APPs are moved completely. Thus, the whole process of adding the application icon to the desktop folder is complicated and time-consuming.

In the embodiment of the application, it is assumed that a user needs to add APP1, APP2, and APP3 application icons in an electronic device to a desktop folder 1, the user may trigger the electronic device to directly display APP application identifiers matched with the folder name of a first folder, and in the case of displaying the application identifiers, after selecting APP identifiers of APP1, APP2, and APP3 from the APP identifiers, the application identifiers may be added to the desktop folder 1, so that the user does not need to search application icons one by one from a plurality of application icons on the desktop, and drag each application icon from the desktop to the desktop folder. Therefore, the process of adding the application icons into the desktop folder is simplified, and the operation efficiency of the user is improved.

An embodiment of the present application provides a folder management method, which may be applied to an electronic device, and fig. 1 shows a flowchart of the folder management method provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, a folder management method provided in an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 101 to 104:

step 101: a first input is received from a user.

The first input is used for triggering and displaying the object identifications of the N first objects matched with the folder name of the first folder.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input may be a click input (for example, a single-click input or a double-click input) of a user in the electronic device, may also be a slide input, and may also be any other possible form of input, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Step 102: in response to the first input, object identifications of the N first objects that match the folder name of the first folder are displayed.

Wherein N is a positive integer.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first folder is used for storing documents, pictures, multimedia files in the electronic device, or storing desktop icons.

Illustratively, the first folder may include at least one of: desktop folders, albums, file directories. The first folder is a folder that needs to be managed, that is, a folder that needs an object identifier of a newly added object. In an embodiment of the present application, the first object may include any one of: the first object may be any object that can be stored in the electronic device, and this application is not limited in this respect.

For example, the object identifier may include any one of: icons, pictures, characters, and the like, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application. For example, when the first object is an application program, the object identifier of the first object may be an application icon of the application program; when the first object is a photo, the object identifier of the first object may be a photo thumbnail, and when the first object is a document, the first object may be an identifier of the document.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the folder name of the first folder may include any one of: the current folder name of the first folder, the folder name input by a user when the first folder is renamed, and the folder name of the first folder after the first folder is renamed.

It is understood that in the case of renaming the first folder, the character string input by the user may be regarded as the folder name of the first folder.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the folder name of the first folder may be used to characterize an object feature of an object to be stored or deposited in the first folder.

In one example, when the first folder is a desktop folder, i.e., the first folder is used for storing the application icon, the object features represented by the folder name of the first folder include any one of the following: type of application, use of the application.

In another example, when the object is an album, i.e. the first folder is used for storing pictures, the object characteristics characterized by the folder name of the first folder include any one of: the content of the picture, the time the picture was taken, the source of the picture (e.g., the application that captured the picture).

In yet another example, when the folder of the first folder is used to store a file, the object characteristics characterized by the folder name of the first folder include any one of: the name of the file, the content of the file.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the N first objects matching the folder name of the first folder may include any one of: the object with the object characteristics matched with the object characteristics of the object to be stored represented by the folder name of the first folder, the object associated with the folder name of the first folder, and the object with the name identical to the folder name of the first folder.

N first objects whose folder names of the first folder match will be described below by 3 examples.

Example 1, take the first folder as the desktop folder as an example. Assume that the folder name of the first folder is: shopping, the first object may be shopping APP1, shopping APP2, and shopping APP 3.

Example 2, take the first folder as an album. Assume that the folder name of the first folder is: a person, the first object may be the portrait photo 1, the portrait photo 2, and the portrait photo 3.

Example 3, take the first folder as the file directory. Assume that the folder name of the first folder is: backup files, the first object may be backup file 1 and backup file 2 in the electronic device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the folder management device may determine, based on the folder name of the first folder, a first object that matches the folder name of the first folder, and collectively display the first object, so as to facilitate management of the folder.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first object includes: the files or folders in the hierarchy of the first folder.

It should be noted that the folder management device may display the file or the identifier of the folder associated with the folder name of the first folder in the current hierarchy of the first folder, so that the folder or the file to be added in the first folder may be quickly associated, and the file management efficiency of the folder is further improved.

For example, the folder management apparatus may acquire a second object in a hierarchy in which the first folder is located, and use an object associated with the folder name of the first folder in the second object as the first object.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after receiving the first input of the user, the folder management device may associate the folder interface displaying the first folder and the object identifiers of the N first objects, so that in a case where the folder interface and the object identifiers are displayed, the user may add the object representation to the folder through a simple input. It should be noted that the above-mentioned associated display means that a folder interface and an object identifier are simultaneously displayed on a display interface of the electronic device, and the order of displaying the folder interface and the object identifier is not limited.

Step 103: and receiving second input of the object identification of the target object in the N first objects from the user.

In this embodiment of the present application, the second input is used to trigger adding the object identifier of the target object to the first folder.

In this embodiment, the target object may include one or more objects of the N objects.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second input may be a click input (for example, a single-click input or a double-click input) of the user on the target object, a drag input, or a slide input, or may be any other possible form of input, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Step 104: in response to a second input, an object identification of the target object is added to the first folder.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the folder management device may obtain an original object identifier of the target object and add the original object identifier to the first folder, or the folder management device may generate a new object identifier corresponding to the target object and add the object identifier of the target object to the first folder.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after the object identifier of the target object is added to the first folder, the folder management device removes the object identifier of the target object from its original location.

For example, when the first object is an application program, after the object identifier of the target object is added to the first folder, the folder management device may delete the application icon of the application program from the desktop location where the application icon is located if the application program is installed.

In the folder management method provided by the embodiment of the application, the folder management device receives a first input of a user, displays object identifications of N first objects associated with folder names of the first folders, and adds the object identification of a target object in the N first objects to the first folder after receiving a second input of the object identification of the target object by the user. By the method, the folder management device can intensively display the object identification of the object matched with the folder name of the first folder, so that the method is convenient for quickly triggering the electronic equipment to add the object identification of the object in the first folder, and saves the time for adding the object identification, thereby improving the convenience for triggering the object identification of the added object by a user and improving the efficiency of managing the object in the folder.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after receiving the first input from the user, the folder management device displays a first interface, and displays, on the first interface, object identifiers of the N first objects that match the folder name of the first folder. Illustratively, the first interface may be referred to as a folder name editing interface.

In one example, the first input includes: the input of the first folder by the user, the first input being used to trigger the display of the folder name editing interface (i.e., the first interface), and further, the input of the first folder may include any one of the following items: the method comprises the following steps of inputting a folder title in a folder interface by a user, inputting a function option corresponding to a folder by the user, or inputting a folder icon of the folder by the user.

In another example, the first input may include: and inputting by a user on a desktop or an application interface, wherein the first input is used for creating the first folder. Further, the application interface may be an application interface of an album application or an application interface of a file management application. That is, upon receiving an input that a user triggers a new folder, the folder management apparatus creates a folder (i.e., the first folder) and displays a folder name editing interface (i.e., the first interface).

The above-described process of displaying the first interface (i.e., the folder name editing interface) will be described below with 3 examples.

Example 1, taking the first folder as the desktop folder as an example, as shown in (a) of fig. 2. On the desktop are displayed 4 APP icons (APP1, APP2, APP5, APP6) and icons 21 of desktop folders. After the user clicks the icon 21 of the desktop folder, as shown in (b) of fig. 2, the folder management apparatus displays the folder interface 22 of the desktop folder, which includes the application icon of APP0, and then, the user can click "folder 1" in the folder interface (i.e., first input of folder name), as shown in (c) of fig. 2, the folder management apparatus receives the user's input, displays the folder name editing interface 23 (i.e., the above first interface), in which a first region of the folder name editing interface 23 displays the folder name editing frame 24 and the confirm/cancel button 25, a second region displays the application icons of APP1, APP2, APP3, APP4 associated with the desktop folder, and a third region displays the folder interface 26 of the desktop folder, on which the user can manage the applications of the desktop folder, and renaming the desktop folder.

Example 2, taking the first folder as an album as an example, as shown in (a) of fig. 3. The application interface of the album APP displays album identifiers of the album 1, the album 2, the album 3 and the album 4, and after the user clicks the desktop icon 31 of the album 2, the "rename" function option corresponding to the album 2 is displayed, and then, the user can click the "rename" button, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, the folder management apparatus receives the input of the user, and displays a folder name editing interface 32 (i.e., the first interface), wherein a first area of the folder name editing interface 32 displays a folder name editing 33 and a confirm/cancel button 34, a second area displays thumbnails of the

photos

1, 2, 3 and 4 associated with the album, and a third area displays an interface 35 of the album, and the user can manage the pictures in the album on the interface and rename the album.

With reference to the above example 2, as shown in (c) of fig. 3, the user may also trigger the folder management apparatus to newly create an album by clicking on a "newly create album" option 36, and enter the above folder name editing interface after the album is newly created.

Example 3, taking the first folder as a file directory (for simplicity of description, it is referred to as a folder) as an example, as shown in (a) of fig. 4. The list of files of the file management application of the electronic device includes a list item of folder 1, a list item 42 of folder 2, and list items of file 1, file 2, and file 3. After the user clicks the list item 42 of the folder 2, the "rename" function option corresponding to the folder is displayed, and then, the user can click the "rename" button, as shown in fig. 4 (b), the folder management apparatus receives the user's input, and displays a folder name editing interface 43 (i.e., the first interface described above), in which a folder name editing frame 44 and a confirm/cancel button 45 are displayed in a first area of the folder name editing interface 43, identifiers of the folder 1, the file 1, and the file 2 associated with the folder directory are displayed in a second area, and a folder interface 46 of the folder directory is displayed in a third area, on which the user can manage the files in the folder directory and rename the folder directory.

In connection with the above example 3, as shown in (a) of fig. 4, the user may also trigger the folder management apparatus to create a folder directory by clicking on a "new" button 47, and display the above-mentioned folder name editing interface after creating the folder directory.

Optionally, the first interface is used for performing folder renaming operation and managing objects in the folder.

For example, the first interface may include a first area, a second area, and a third area, where the three areas may be sequentially displayed on the first interface from top to bottom, or may be displayed in other sequences, which may be determined specifically according to actual needs, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Further, the first region includes: a folder name edit box, a cancel/confirm rename button, and a first area for editing the folder name of the first folder, i.e., renaming the first folder.

Further, the second area is used for showing the object identification of the first object. Further, the object identifications of the first object may be arranged horizontally or vertically in the second area. For example, in the case where the second area displays object identifiers of a plurality of objects, the folder management apparatus may display the object identifiers in the second area in the form of a horizontal presentation list.

Still further, in a case where the first object includes a plurality of object identifiers and there is an object identifier that is not displayed in the current interface due in part to the interface area limitation, the object identifier that is not displayed in the current interface may be triggered to be displayed by a sliding input in the second area, so that the user may view the first identifiers of all the first objects in the second area.

Further, the third area is used to add an object identifier in the first folder, or remove an object identifier in the first folder. Further, the third area may be a folder interface of the first folder.

The process of the user viewing the first identification of the first object in the second area will be explained below with 3 examples.

Example 4, in combination with example 1 described above, as shown in (a) of fig. 5, the user may trigger display of application icons of other first applications that are not currently displayed in the second area by sliding left and right in the second area of the folder name editing interface, and as shown in (b) of fig. 5, after the folder management apparatus receives a sliding input by the user, an icon of APP5 that is not displayed may be displayed in the second area.

Example 5, in combination with example 2, the user may trigger displaying thumbnails of other pictures that are not currently displayed in the second area by sliding left and right in the second area, and after receiving the user's sliding input, the folder management device may display thumbnails of the photos 5 that are not displayed in the second area.

Example 6, in combination with example 3 above, the user may trigger to display icons of other files that are not currently displayed in the second area by sliding left and right in the second area, and after receiving the sliding input from the user, the folder management device may display the file identifier of the file 3 that is not displayed in the second area.

It can be understood that, because the folder name edit box of the first folder, the object identifier of the associated object, and the folder interface are all displayed on the first interface, the user can manage and rename the object of the first folder through simple operation on the first interface, without switching between the desktop and the folder interface of the first folder, thereby greatly shortening the time for managing the object in the folder, and improving the operation efficiency of the user.

Alternatively, the second input may be an input that the user drags the object identifier of the target object to the third area. Illustratively, after the user drags the object identifier of the target object to the second area, the folder management device is triggered to add the object identifier of the target object to the first folder.

For example, during the process that the user drags the object identifier of the target object to the third area, the object identifier may be displayed in an enlarged manner, so that the user can view the details of the object identifier.

For example, the target object identifier is taken as a photo thumbnail. When the user clicks and selects the photo thumbnail, the thumbnail is dynamically amplified by 3 times, and after the user drags the thumbnail to a folder interface of the folder 1, the photo thumbnail is automatically put into the folder 1. If the user clicks and selects the photo thumbnail and does not drag and release the fingers, the photo thumbnail is restored to the original size and still placed in the transverse display list.

Optionally, the user may operate the object identifier in the third area (e.g., the folder interface) of the first interface on the first interface according to actual requirements, so as to flexibly manage the objects in the folder. Illustratively, the folder management device executes the first operation after receiving the input of the object identifier displayed in the third area by the user. Further, the first operation may include at least one of: removing the object identifier from the first folder, sorting the object identifier in the first folder, and the like.

Further, in the case where the above operation is to remove the object identifier in the first folder, the folder management device may create a new desktop page or folder and display the object identifier removed from the first folder on the new desktop page or folder.

The process of the user performing the second input on the first interface will be described below with 3 examples.

Example 7, in combination with the above-described examples 1 and 4, as shown in (a) in fig. 6, the user can drag down the application icon of APP4 displayed in the second region of the folder name editing interface into the folder interface of the desktop folder, as shown in (b) in fig. 6, the folder management apparatus receives the drag input by the user, displays the icon of APP4 in the folder interface, and adds the application icon of APP4 into the desktop folder.

Example 8, in conjunction with example 2 and example 5 described above, as shown in (a) in fig. 7, the user may drag down a thumbnail of photograph 4 displayed in the second area of the folder name editing interface into the album interface of the album 2, as shown in (b) in fig. 7, the folder management apparatus receives the drag input by the user, displays the thumbnail of photograph 4 in the album interface, and adds the thumbnail of photograph 4 to the album.

With reference to the above example 8, as shown in (a) in fig. 7, in the process of dragging the thumbnail of the photo 2 down to the album interface 35 of the album 2, after the user touches the area where the thumbnail of the photo 2 is located, the thumbnail may be enlarged, so that the user can conveniently view the details of the photo.

Example 9, in combination with the above-described examples 3 and 6, as shown in (a) in fig. 8, the user can drag down the file identification of the file 1 displayed in the second area of the folder name editing interface into the folder interface of the folder directory, as shown in (b) in fig. 8, the folder management apparatus receives the drag input by the user, displays the file identification of the file 1 in the folder interface of the folder 2, and adds the file identification of the file 1 to the folder directory.

Thus, when a user edits or modifies a folder name, the folder management device can trigger and display the object identifier of the object associated with the folder, and display the object identifier in a centralized and listed manner (for example, display the object identifier through a list) on the target interface, so that the user can perform simple dragging or clicking operation on the target interface, that is, the file or the application can be moved into the folder, and the time for the user to manage the file, the application and the like is shortened.

Optionally, in a case where the first interface corresponding to the first folder is displayed, the folder management device may receive a fourth input from the user, and display a second interface corresponding to the first folder. Illustratively, the complaint second interface can include any of: the file folder interface of the first file folder, and the interface where the file folder identifier of the first file folder is located.

For example, after receiving the second input of the user, the folder management device may receive a fourth input of the user, and display a second interface to restore the scene before editing.

Further, the fourth input may be an input of a first control of the user, and the first control may be the "confirm" or "cancel" button. Further, after the user clicks "confirm", the folder management device completes addition of the object identifier of the first folder, and sets the character string in the folder name edit box as the folder name of the folder (i.e., renames); after the user clicks "cancel", the folder management apparatus cancels the addition and renaming of the object identifier of the first folder.

Example 10, in combination with the above example 7, as shown in (a) of fig. 9, after the user completes the above operation, the user may click on an "ok" button, as shown in (b) of fig. 9, and the folder management apparatus jumps to an interface on the desktop at which the folder interface of the desktop folder is displayed, and at this time, the desktop folder is in a normally open state, facilitating the user to use the application therein.

Example 11, in connection with the above-mentioned example 8, as shown in (a) in fig. 10, after the user completes the above-mentioned operation, the user may click on a "confirm" button, as shown in (b) in fig. 10, and the folder management apparatus jumps to an application interface that displays an album identification of the album 2, that is, to an album list presentation interface, so that the user selects therefrom an album that needs to be viewed.

It should be noted that, in example 11, the folder name editing scenario is entered when the name of the existing album is edited, and in another case, if the folder name editing scenario is entered when the album is newly created, after the user clicks the "ok" button, the folder management apparatus newly adds the album identifier of the newly created album (e.g., album 5) to the album list and jumps to the album list display interface.

Example 12, in connection with the above example 9, as shown in (a) of fig. 11, after the user completes the above operation, the user may click on a "confirm" button, as shown in (b) of fig. 11, and the folder management apparatus jumps to a file list interface in which the folder identification of the folder 2 is displayed, so that the user selects therefrom the file or folder to be viewed.

It should be noted that, in example 12, the folder name editing scenario is entered when name editing is performed on an existing folder directory, and in another case, if the folder name editing scenario is entered when a new folder directory is created, after the user clicks the "ok" button, the folder management apparatus newly adds the folder identifier of the new folder (e.g., folder 3) in the folder list and jumps to the folder list presentation interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the folder management apparatus may re-display the object identifier of the matched first object according to the new name content when entering the folder name editing scenario and the folder name is modified.

Illustratively, the first input includes: editing the input of the folder name of the first folder.

Illustratively, the process of displaying object identifiers of N first objects matching the folder names of the first folders in step 102 above may include the following steps 102 a:

step 102 a: and displaying the object identifications of the N first objects matched with the folder names edited by the first folder.

For example, the folder management apparatus may display the object identifier of the first object matching the folder name of the first folder after the folder name of the first folder is edited, that is, after the first folder is renamed.

It can be understood that, in the case that a plurality of objects (e.g., applications) are newly added to the electronic device, a user often needs to move the newly added object to a corresponding folder for centralized classification management, and based on this scenario, the embodiment provided in this application can display the object identifier of the newly added object after modifying the folder name into the folder name related to the newly added object, so as to conveniently add the newly added object to the folder for management. For example, if the newly added object is the navigation APP1, the user may rename the folder 1 to "travel tool" to trigger the application icons associated with and displaying the folder 1 and the navigation APP1, so as to add the application icons to the folder 1 quickly.

Therefore, the file management device can perform automatic association matching after the folder name of the first folder is modified, simplify the operation process of the newly added classified application, facilitate the classified management of the application or the file, and efficiently classify the newly added application.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input includes: the user edits the input of the character string in the folder name edit box of the first folder.

After the step 101, the folder management method provided by the present application further includes the following step a 1:

step A1: and responding to the first input, and displaying the object identification of the object matched with the character string input by the user in real time in the process of editing the character string.

Illustratively, the folder name edit box described above is used to edit the folder name of the first folder, i.e., to rename the first folder.

For example, the folder management apparatus may display the folder name editing box after receiving an input (e.g., the first input) for editing the folder name of the first folder. Further, the folder name editing frame displays the original folder name of the first folder by default.

Illustratively, in the process that the user inputs the character string in the folder name edit box of the first folder, the folder management device may obtain the character string in the folder name edit box in real time, determine N first objects associated with the folder name in real time according to the character string in the folder name edit box, and display the object identifier of the first object.

In the process of the user inputting a character string in the folder name edit box, the first object displayed by the folder management apparatus is updated with the character string in the folder name edit box.

For example, assuming that the user inputs "entertainment" in the folder name edit box, the application icons of the game APP1 and the game APP2 related to "entertainment" are displayed, and after the user continues to input "audio and video", the game APP1, the game APP2, the music play APP3, and the video play APP4 related to "entertainment audio and video" can be displayed according to the keyword of "entertainment audio and video" in the folder name edit box.

For example, when the folder name edit box of the first folder is empty, the folder management device may display object identifiers of N first objects that satisfy the first predetermined condition. Further, the first predetermined condition includes at least one of: all objects in the electronic equipment, the objects with the user use frequency larger than the first threshold value, the objects with the time within the preset time period, the objects with the same level as the first folder and the preset objects are created.

For example, assuming that the first folder is a desktop folder, the folder management device may display an application icon of an application program that is used more than 10 times a week by the user; assuming that the first folder is an album, the folder management device may display pictures created in the electronic device within the last week; assuming that the first folder is a file directory, the folder management device may display all files or folders having the same level as the file directory. Therefore, the application required by the user can be updated and displayed according to the actual requirement of the user, and the operation flexibility is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first folder is a desktop folder, and the target object is a first application associated with a folder name of the desktop folder.

For example, the process of displaying the object identifiers of the N first objects matching the folder names of the first folders in the step 102 may include the following step 102 b:

step 102 b: and displaying the application identifier of the first application based on the target display mode.

Wherein the target display mode is determined based on an installation state of the first application; the mounted state includes a mounted state and an unmounted state.

Illustratively, the target display mode may include at least one of the following: the method comprises the steps of adding marks on application identifiers, displaying the marks (such as text marks and picture marks), displaying the identifiers of the uninstalled applications in a preset color (such as displaying the identifiers of the uninstalled applications in grey), displaying the identifiers of the uninstalled applications in a preset transparency, and highlighting the identifiers of the installed applications. The specific display mode may be set according to actual needs, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

For example, the first folder is taken as a desktop folder, and the object identifier of the first object is taken as an application icon. Assuming that, of APP1, APP2, APP3 and APP4 associated with the desktop folder 1, APP1 and APP4 are APPs installed in the electronic device, and APP2 and APP3 are APPs not installed in the electronic device, a "installed" character may be added to and displayed on the icons of APP1 and APP4, and an "uninstalled" character may be added to and displayed on the icons of APP2 and APP 3. Therefore, the user can distinguish the installed application from the uninstalled application conveniently, and the application identification is selectively added in the folder.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, in a case that the first application is not installed in the electronic device, after the process of the step 103, the folder management method provided in this embodiment of the application further includes the following step B1:

step B1: in response to the second input, the first application is downloaded.

In combination with step B1 above: the process of adding the object identifier of the target object to the first folder in step 104 may include the following steps 104 a:

step 104 a: and after the first application is downloaded, adding the application identifier corresponding to the first application to the first folder.

For example, after receiving the second input of the application identifier of the first application by the user, the folder management device may acquire a download address of the first application from the server and acquire a data package of the first application based on the download address in the case that the first application is not installed in the electronic device, and then download the first application.

In another example, the folder management apparatus may link to an application download APP (e.g., an application store) in the electronic device and download the first application in the application download APP after receiving the second input of the application identification of the first application by the user.

For example, the file management apparatus may automatically add the application icon of the first application to the first folder after the downloading of the first application is completed.

Further alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the processes of step B1 and step 104B may be replaced by the following step B2:

step B2: and responding to the second input, adding the application identification corresponding to the first application to the first folder, and downloading the first application.

For example, the folder management apparatus may download the first application after adding an application icon of the first application to the first folder. Further, the folder management device may display a second identifier to prompt the downloading status of the first application, so that the user can visually check the downloading status of the application, where the second identifier may be text information representing the downloading progress. Therefore, the application can be rapidly triggered and downloaded under the condition that the application required by the user is not installed, and the operation efficiency of the user is greatly improved.
