The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The inner core layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver and a sensor driver.

The workflow of the software and hardware of the electronic device 100 is illustrated below in connection with a scenario in which sound is played using a smart speaker.

When touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is issued to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into the original input event (including information such as touch coordinates, time stamp of touch operation, etc.). The original input event is stored at the kernel layer. The application framework layer acquires an original input event from the kernel layer, and identifies a control corresponding to the input event. Taking the touch operation as a touch click operation, taking a control corresponding to the click operation as an example of a control of an intelligent sound box icon, the intelligent sound box application calls an interface of an application framework layer, starts the intelligent sound box application, further starts audio driving by calling a kernel layer, and converts an audio electric signal into a sound signal by a loudspeaker 170A.

Upon detecting a user-indicated operation to change the property item 13 of the folder (e.g., clicking on option 1063 in settings page 13), the handset may change from displaying settings page 11 of FIG. 3A to displaying settings page 11 exemplarily shown in FIG. 3G.

In fig. 3G, the setup page 11 may be used to set up all applications in the folder to receive unread messages, set up a header that counts unread messages that display all applications in the folder, set up a header that dots display unread messages for the folder, and provide access to change the property items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder.

5. The attribute item 11, attribute item 12, and attribute item 13 of the folder correspond to the sequence number 1 in table 1

The handset, upon detecting a user-indicated operation to change the property items 12 and 13 of the folder (e.g., clicking on the option 1043 in the setup page 12 and the option 1063 in the setup page 13), may change from displaying the setup page 11 of fig. 3A to displaying the setup page 11 exemplarily shown in fig. 3H.

In fig. 3H, the setup page 11 may be used to set up all applications in the folder to receive unread messages, set up dots to display the corner marks of the unread messages of all applications in the folder, set up dots to display the corner marks of the unread messages of the folder, and provide entries to change the property items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder.

6. The attribute items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder correspond to the sequence number 2 in table 1

Upon detecting a user-indicated operation to change the property item 13 of the folder (e.g., clicking on option 1061 in settings page 13), the handset may change from displaying settings page 11 of FIG. 3A to displaying settings page 11 exemplarily shown in FIG. 3I.

In FIG. 3I, setup page 11 may be used to set up all applications in the folder to receive unread messages, set up a count to display the corner keys of the unread messages for all applications in the folder, set up a corner key display of the unread messages to close the folder, and provide access to change the property items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder.

7. The attribute items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder correspond to the sequence number 2 in table 1

The handset, upon detecting a user-indicated operation to change the property items 12 and 13 of the folder (e.g., clicking on the option 1043 in the setup page 12 and the option 1061 in the setup page 13), may change from displaying the setup page 11 of fig. 3A to displaying the setup page 11 exemplarily shown in fig. 3J.

In fig. 3J, the setup page 11 may be used to set up all applications in the folder to receive unread messages, set up dots to display the corner marks of the unread messages for all applications in the folder, set up corner mark displays of the unread messages to close the folder, and provide access to change the property items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder.

Based on the description of the above embodiments, the electronic device can make policy settings for all applications in the folder with respect to the unread message based on the attribute settings of the folder with respect to the unread message.

In addition, for any application program, the electronic device may also manage whether the unread message of the application program is received or not based on the attribute setting of the application program about the unread message, and may also manage whether the unread message of the application program is displayed by the corner mark and the manner of displaying the corner mark. Thereby facilitating the reception of unread messages by the electronic device from the application level and handling of corner marks.

Wherein the attribute setting of the application program about the unread message may include: an attribute item 21 and an attribute item 22.

Attribute item 21: whether the application receives an unread message.

Attribute item 22: whether the application program displays the corner mark of the unread message or not, and which mode is adopted for displaying the corner mark when the application program displays the corner mark of the unread message.

It can be seen that there is an overlap of the property settings of the folder with respect to the unread message and the property settings of the application with respect to the unread message, i.e. the property items 11 of the folder and the property items 21 of the application, and the property items 12 of the folder and the property items 22 of the application.

Thus, for any one folder and any one application program in the folder, the electronic device can set the receiving of the unread message and the processing of the corner marks of the folder and all application programs in the folder in combination with the attribute setting of the folder and the attribute setting of the application program.

Next, detailed implementation procedures of the message processing method of the present application will be described in detail using the first and second modes. For convenience of description, in the first and second modes, the application layer of the electronic device includes: desktop, and folder 1, folder 2, and application 1 placed on the desktop are illustrated as examples. Wherein, the folder 1 at least comprises an application 2, and the folder 2 at least comprises an application 3. In addition, folder 1 may also include folder 3 when one folder can be moved into another.

Mode one

In one mode, the electronic device synchronizes the attribute setting of the unread message to the attribute setting of the application program with respect to the unread message by means of the folder, and can set the policy setting of the folder and all application programs in the folder with respect to the unread message.

1. Altering property settings of folder 1

After the modification, the electronic device can store the attribute items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder 1. The electronic device can synchronize the property item 21 of the application 1 as the property item 11 of the folder 1, i.e., synchronize the property item 22 of the application 1 as the property item 12 of the folder 1, and store the property item 21 and the property item 22 of the application 1. Moreover, the electronic device may store a correspondence between each application in the folder 1 and the folder 1, where the correspondence is used to indicate that the application 1 is included in the folder 1, and the correspondence may be in a form, a matrix, or a key value, for example, where the correspondence between the application 1 and the folder 1 is used to indicate that the application 1 is included in the folder 1.

Likewise, the user may change the attribute settings of folder 2. After the setting/modification, the electronic device may store the attribute items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder 2. The electronic device can synchronize the property item 21 of the application 3 as the property item 11 of the folder 2, synchronize the property item 22 of the application 3 as the property item 12 of the folder 2, and store the property item 21 and the property item 22 of the application 3. Moreover, the electronic device may store a correspondence between each application program in the folder 2 and the folder 2, where the correspondence is used to represent the application program included in the folder 2, and the correspondence may be in a form, a matrix, a key value, or the like, for example, where the correspondence between the application 3 and the folder 2 is used to represent that the application 3 is included in the folder 2.

21. Moving application 1 in desktop into folder 1

After the application 1 moves from the desktop to the folder 1, the electronic device may acquire the property item 11, the property item 12, and the property item 13 of the folder 1, synchronize the property item 21 of the application 1 as the property item 11 of the folder 1, and synchronize the property item 22 of the application 1 as the property item 12 of the folder 1. Thereby, the attribute settings of the application 1 are kept consistent with the attribute settings of the folder 1.

22. Moving application 3 in folder 2 to folder 1

After the application 3 moves from the folder 2 to the folder 1, the electronic device can acquire the property item 11, the property item 12, and the property item 13 of the folder 1, synchronize the property item 21 of the application 3 to the property item 11 of the folder 1, and synchronize the property item 22 of the application 3 to the property item 12 of the folder 1. Thereby, the attribute settings of the application 3 are kept consistent with the attribute settings of the folder 1.

3. Moving application 1 in folder 1 to the desktop

After application 1 moves from folder 1 to the desktop, the electronic device can keep property item 21 of application 1 consistent with property item 11 of folder 1 and keep property item 22 of application 1 consistent with property item 12 of folder 1.

4. Moving application 1 in folder 1 to folder 2

After application 1 moves from folder 1 to folder 2, the electronic device may obtain property item 11, property item 12, and property item 13 of folder 2, and synchronize property item 21 of application 1 as property item 11 of folder 2, and synchronize property item 22 of application 1 as property item 12 of folder 2. Thereby, the attribute settings of the application 1 are kept consistent with the attribute settings of the folder 2.

5. Move folder 2 into folder 1

Folder 2 may be considered an application program similar to the implementation of application 1 moving to folder 1.

After folder 2 moves from the desktop to folder 1, the electronic device may obtain property item 11, property item 12, and property item 13 of folder 1, and synchronize property item 11 of folder 2 as property item 11 of folder 1, property item 12 of folder 2 as property item 12 of folder 1, and property item 13 of folder 2 as property item 13 of folder 1. Thereby, the attribute settings of the folder 2 are kept consistent with the attribute settings of the folder 1.

After folder 2 moves from the desktop to folder 1, application 3 in folder 2 moves into folder 1 as well. Accordingly, the electronic device can synchronize the property item 21 of the application 3 as the property item 11 of the folder 1 and the property item 22 of the application 3 as the property item 12 of the folder 1. Thereby, the attribute settings of the application 3 are kept consistent with the attribute settings of the folder 1.

In summary, the property settings of folder 2 and each application in folder 2 remain consistent with the property settings of folder 1.

It should be noted that, for the specific implementation of moving the folder 3 from the folder 1 to the folder 2 in fig. 2, reference may be made to the above implementation, which is not described herein.

Next, in connection with fig. 4, after the application 1 moves from the desktop to the folder 1, a detailed description will be given of a specific implementation procedure of the electronic device for processing the reception of the unread message by the application 1 and displaying the corner marks of the application 1 and the folder 1 with respect to the unread message.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a message processing method according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in fig. 4, a desktop initiator and notification manager in an operating system of an electronic device may perform the steps of:

s11, the desktop starter acquires the attribute item 21 of the application 1 and judges whether the application 1 receives an unread message.

After determining that the application 1 receives the unread message, the desktop initiator executes S12; after determining that the application 1 does not receive the unread message, the desktop initiator executes S19.

S12, the desktop starter receives the unread message of the application 1.

S13, the desktop initiator sends unread messages, such as quantity, content and the like, of the application 1 to the notification manager.

S14, the notification manager acquires the attribute items 22 of the application 1 and judges whether the application 1 displays the corner marks of the unread messages.

Upon determining that the application 1 displays the corner mark of the unread message, notifying the manager to execute S15; upon determining that the application 1 does not display the corner mark of the unread message, the manager is notified to execute S19.

And S15, the notification manager updates the corner marks of the unread messages of the application 1 based on the unread messages of the application 1, and if the number of the unread messages of the application 1 which are newly received is 2, the corner marks of the unread messages of the application 1 are increased by 2.

In addition, the notification manager may also determine what manner the corner mark display of the unread message of application 1 is to be based on the attribute items 22 of application 1, such as a count display or a dot display.

S161, the notification manager determines whether the application 1 is in a folder.

Based on the above description, after the application 1 moves from the desktop to the folder 1, the notification manager may acquire the correspondence of the application 1 and the folder 1. Thus, the notification manager may determine that application 1 is in the folder and that the folder in which application 1 is located is folder 1 based on the correspondence of application 1 and folder 1.

While application 1 is still on the desktop or in the application library, the notification manager may not be able to obtain the correspondence of application 1 to any one of the folders. Thus, the notification manager may determine that application 1 is on the desktop or in the application library without updating the corner markers of the unread messages of the folder.

Upon determining that application 1 is in the folder, the notification manager performs S162; upon determining that the application 1 is not in the folder, the notification manager executes S19.

S162, the notification manager determines that the folder in which the application 1 is located is the folder 1 based on the corresponding relation between the application 1 and the folder 1.

S17, the notification manager acquires the attribute items 13 of the folder 1 and judges whether the folder 1 displays corner marks of unread messages.

Upon determining that folder 1 displays the corner mark of the unread message, notifying the manager to execute S18; upon determining that the folder 1 does not display the corner mark of the unread message, the manager is notified to execute S19.

And S18, the notification manager updates the corner marks of the unread messages of the folder 1 based on the unread messages of the application 1, and if the number of the unread messages of the newly received application 1 is 2, the corner marks of the unread messages of the folder 1 are increased by 2.

In addition, the notification manager may also determine, based on the attribute items 13 of the folder 1, what manner the corner mark display of the unread message of the folder 1 is to be used, such as a count display or a dot display.

S19, ending.

For desktop starters, the end here refers to: the desktop initiator ends execution: application 1 in the current round regards the reception of unread messages. And, the desktop initiator may continue to perform S11 in fig. 4 to determine whether an unread message of the application 1 is received in the next round.

For notification manager, the end here refers to: the notification manager ends execution: the updating of the corner marks of 1 and folder 1 with respect to unread messages is applied in the current round. And, the desktop initiator may continue to determine whether to update the application 1 and the corner mark of the folder 1 with respect to the unread message in the next round from the unread message of the application 1 transmitted from the desktop initiator through S13 in fig. 4.

In summary, the electronic device synchronizes to the attribute item 21 of the application program by means of the attribute item 11 of the folder and synchronizes to the attribute item 22 of the application program by means of the attribute item 12 of the folder, and can set whether all application programs in the folder receive unread messages according to the attribute item 21 of the application program, can set whether unread messages of all application programs in the folder are displayed by corner marks and in which corner mark display mode according to the attribute item 22 of the application program, and can set whether unread messages of the folder are displayed by corner marks and in which corner mark display mode according to the attribute item 13 of the folder.

Mode two

In the second mode, the electronic device synchronizes the attribute setting based on the unread message to the attribute setting of the application program about the unread message by means of the corresponding relation between the folder and the application program, and can set the policy setting of the folder and all the application programs in the folder about the unread message.

1. Altering property settings of folder 1

After the modification, the electronic device can store the attribute items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder 1. The electronic device may keep the property items 21 and 22 of application 1 unchanged, i.e., not synchronize the property item 21 of application 1 as the property item 11 of folder 1 nor synchronize the property item 22 of application 1 as the property item 12 of folder 1, and store the property item 21 and the property item 22 of application 1. Moreover, the electronic device may store a correspondence between each application in the folder 1 and the folder 1, where the correspondence is used to indicate that the application 1 is included in the folder 1, and the correspondence may be in a form, a matrix, or a key value, for example, where the correspondence between the application 1 and the folder 1 is used to indicate that the application 1 is included in the folder 1.

Likewise, the user may change the attribute settings of folder 2. After the modification, the electronic device may store the attribute items 11, 12, and 13 of the folder 2. The electronic device may keep the property items 21 and 22 of the application 3 unchanged, i.e. not synchronize the property item 21 of the application 3 as the property item 11 of the folder 2 nor the property item 22 of the application 3 as the property item 12 of the folder 2, and store the property item 21 and the property item 22 of the application 3. Moreover, the electronic device may store a correspondence between each application program in the folder 2 and the folder 2, where the correspondence is used to represent the application program included in the folder 2, and the correspondence may be in a form, a matrix, a key value, or the like, for example, where the correspondence between the application 3 and the folder 2 is used to represent that the application 3 is included in the folder 2.

21. Moving application 1 in desktop into folder 1

After application 1 moves from the desktop to folder 1, the electronic device may leave the property item 21 and the property item 22 of application 1 unchanged, i.e., not synchronize the property item 21 of application 1 as the property item 11 of folder 1, nor synchronize the property item 22 of application 1 as the property item 12 of folder 1. Thus, the attribute setting of the application 1 is set separately from the attribute setting of the folder 1.

22. Moving application 3 in folder 2 to folder 1

After the application 3 moves from the folder 2 to the folder 1, the electronic device may keep the property items 21 and 22 of the application 3 unchanged, i.e., not synchronize the property item 21 of the application 3 as the property item 11 of the folder 1, nor synchronize the property item 22 of the application 1 as the property item 12 of the folder 1. Thus, the attribute setting of the application 3 is set separately from the attribute setting of the folder 1.

3. Moving application 1 in folder 1 to the desktop

After application 1 moves from folder 1 to the desktop, the electronic device may keep property items 21 and 22 of application 1 unchanged.

4. Moving application 1 in folder 1 to folder 2

After application 1 moves from folder 1 to folder 2, the electronic device may keep the property items 21 and 22 of application 1 unchanged, i.e., not synchronize the property item 21 of application 1 as property item 11 of folder 2, nor synchronize the property item 22 of application 1 as property item 12 of folder 2. Thus, the attribute setting of the application 1 is set separately from the attribute setting of the folder 2.

5. Move folder 2 into folder 1

After folder 2 moves from the desktop to folder 1, the electronic device may leave property item 11, property item 12, and property item 13 of folder 2 unchanged, i.e., not synchronize property item 11 of folder 2 as property item 11 of folder 1, nor synchronize property item 12 of folder 2 as property item 12 of folder 1, nor synchronize property item 13 of folder 2 as property item 13 of folder 1. Thus, the attribute setting of the folder 2 is set separately from the attribute setting of the folder 1.

After folder 2 moves from the desktop to folder 1, application 3 in folder 2 moves into folder 1 as well. Thus, the electronic device can leave the property item 21 and the property item 22 of the application 3 unchanged, i.e. not synchronize the property item 21 of the application 2 as the property item 11 of the folder 1, nor synchronize the property item 22 of the application 3 as the property item 12 of the folder 1. Thus, the attribute setting of the application 3 is set separately from the attribute setting of the folder 1.

In summary, the property settings of each application in the folder 2 and the folder 2 are set separately from the property settings of the folder 1. In addition, the electronic device may establish a correspondence relationship between each application in the folder 2 and the folder 1.

Next, in connection with fig. 5, after the application 1 moves from the desktop to the folder 1, a detailed description will be given of a specific implementation procedure of the electronic device for processing the reception of the unread message by the application 1 and displaying the corner marks of the application 1 and the folder 1 with respect to the unread message.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flow chart illustrating a message processing method according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in fig. 5, a desktop initiator and notification manager in an operating system of an electronic device may perform the steps of:

s21, the desktop starter judges whether the application 1 is in a folder or not.

Based on the above description, after the application 1 moves from the desktop to the folder 1, the desktop launcher may acquire the correspondence between the application 1 and the folder 1. Thus, the desktop launcher may determine that application 1 is in the folder and determine that the folder in which application 1 is located is folder 1 based on the correspondence between application 1 and folder 1.

When the application 1 is still on the desktop or in the application program library, the desktop initiator may not be able to obtain the correspondence between the application 1 and any folder. Thus, the desktop initiator may determine that application 1 is on the desktop or in the application library without updating the corner markers of the unread messages of the folder.

Upon determining that application 1 is in the folder, the notification manager performs S221-S222; upon determining that the application 1 is not in the folder, the notification manager performs S223.

S221, the desktop starter determines that the folder in which the application 1 is located is the folder 1 based on the corresponding relation between the application 1 and the folder 1.

S222, the desktop starter acquires the attribute items 11 of the folder 1 and judges whether the application 1 receives unread messages.

S223, the desktop starter acquires the attribute item 21 of the application 1 and judges whether the application 1 receives an unread message.

In S222 or S223, when it is determined that the application 1 receives an unread message, the desktop launcher executes S23; upon determining that the application 1 does not receive the unread message, the desktop initiator executes S20.

S23, the desktop starter receives the unread message of the application 1.

S24, the desktop initiator sends unread messages, such as quantity, content and the like, of the application 1 to the notification manager.

S25, the notification manager judges whether the application 1 is in the folder.

While application 1 is still on the desktop or in the application library, the notification manager may not be able to obtain the correspondence of application 1 to any one of the folders. Thus, the notification manager may determine that application 1 is on the desktop or in the application library without updating the corner markers of the unread messages of the folder. Upon determining that application 1 is in the folder, the notification manager performs S261-S262; upon determining that application 1 is not in the folder, the notification manager executes S263.

S261, the notification manager determines that the folder in which the application 1 is located is the folder 1.

S262, the notification manager acquires the attribute items 12 of the folder 1 and judges whether the application 1 displays the corner marks of the unread messages.

In S262, upon determining that the application 1 displays the corner mark of the unread message, notifying the manager to execute S271 to S29; upon determining that the application 1 does not display the corner mark of the unread message, the manager is notified to execute S20.

S263, the notification manager obtains the attribute item 22 of the application 1, and determines whether the application 1 displays a corner mark of the unread message.

In S263, upon determining that the application 1 displays the corner mark of the unread message, the notification manager performs S272 and S20; upon determining that the application 1 does not display the corner mark of the unread message, the manager is notified to execute S20.

S271 and S272, the notification manager updates the corner mark of the unread message of the application 1 based on the unread message of the application 1, and if the number of the unread messages of the application 1 newly received is 2, the corner mark of the unread message of the application 1 is increased by 2.

In addition, when it is determined in S25 that the application 1 is in the folder 1, the notification manager may also determine what manner the corner mark display of the unread message of the application 1 is in, such as the count display or the dot display, based on the attribute item 12 of the folder 1 in S262.

Upon determining that application 1 is not in folder 1 in S25, the notification manager may also determine what manner, such as a count display or a dot display, the corner mark display of the unread message of application 1 is to be used based on the attribute item 22 of application 1 in S263.

S28, notifying the manager to acquire the attribute items 13 of the folder 1, and judging whether the folder 1 displays the corner marks of the unread messages. Upon determining to display the corner mark of the folder 1, notifying the manager to execute S29; upon determining that the corner mark of the folder 1 is not displayed, the notification manager performs S20.

S29, the notification manager updates the corner marks of the unread messages of the folder 1 based on the unread messages of the application 1, and if the number of the unread messages of the newly received application 1 is 2, the corner marks of the unread messages of the folder 1 are increased by 2.

S20, ending.

For desktop starters, the end here refers to: the desktop initiator ends execution: application 1 in the current round regards the reception of unread messages. And, the desktop initiator may continue to perform S21 in fig. 5 to determine whether an unread message of application 1 is received in the next round.

For notification manager, the end here refers to: the notification manager ends execution: the updating of the corner marks of 1 and folder 1 with respect to unread messages is applied in the current round. And, the desktop initiator may continue to determine whether to update the application 1 and the corner mark of the folder 1 with respect to the unread message in the next round from the unread message of the application 1 transmitted from the desktop initiator through S24 in fig. 5. In summary, the electronic device may set, by means of the relationship between the folder and the application, whether all application programs in the folder receive the unread message according to the attribute item 21 of the application program or the attribute item 11 of the folder, whether the unread message of all application programs in the folder is displayed by the angle marks according to the attribute item 22 of the application program or the attribute item 12 of the folder, and in which manner the angle marks are displayed, and may set whether the unread message of the folder is displayed by the angle marks according to the attribute item 13 of the folder.

Based on the above description of the embodiments, the specific implementation of the message processing method of the present application will be described in detail with reference to fig. 6A to 6D, fig. 7A to 7C, fig. 8A to 8C, fig. 9A to 9D, fig. 10A to 10C, fig. 11A to 11B, fig. 12A to 12D, fig. 13A to 13B, fig. 14, and fig. 15A to 15C, taking an electronic device as an example of a mobile phone.

In summary, the electronic device, through the settings page of the folder, may provide the user with access to alter the settings of the folder with respect to the properties of the unread message, as well as provide multiple ways of displaying the folder with respect to the unread message and all applications in the folder.

Based on the description of the embodiments of fig. 6A-6D, fig. 7A-7C, fig. 8A-8C, fig. 9A-9D, fig. 10A-10C, fig. 11A-11B, fig. 12A-12D, and fig. 13A-13B, after an application has been moved to a folder, the electronic device may set the attribute settings of the application with respect to the unread message by means of the attribute settings of the folder with respect to the unread message.

In a specific embodiment, the desktop of the electronic device may include: folder a, folder b, and folder c. The folder a at least comprises an application a, the folder b at least comprises an application b, and the folder c at least comprises an application c.

Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic diagram showing desktop displays of three folders and open pages of each folder according to an embodiment of the application.

For the folder a, the electronic apparatus sets the following:

attribute item 11 of folder a: all applications in folder a do not receive unread messages;

attribute item 12 of folder a: displaying the corner marks of unread messages of all application programs in the folder a;

attribute item 13 of folder a: and displaying the corner mark of the unread message of the folder a.

It can be seen that as shown in fig. 14, folder a may display the corner mark of the unread message in the desktop display, and application a displays the corner mark of the unread message in the open page of folder a.

For folder b, the electronic device sets the following:

attribute item 11 of folder b: all applications in folder b do not receive unread messages;

attribute item 12 of folder b: displaying the corner marks of unread messages of all application programs in the folder b;

attribute item 13 of folder b: closing the display of the corner mark of the unread message of the folder b.

It can be seen that application 1 displays the corner mark of the unread message in the desktop display.

Referring to fig. 15A, fig. 15A is a flow chart illustrating a message processing method according to an embodiment of the application.

As shown in fig. 15A, the message processing method of the present application may include:

s61, the application 1 moves from the desktop to the folder c.

In the desktop display of folder c, folder c changes from including application c to including application 1 and application c.

In the open page of folder c, the corner mark of the unread message of application 1 is no longer displayed.

S62, when the electronic device adopts the mode shown in FIG. 4, the application 1 moves from the folder c to the desktop.

After application 1 is contained in folder c, application 1's property item 21 has been synchronized as folder c's property item 11, and application 1's property item 22 has been synchronized as folder c's property item 12. Thus, after application 1 moves from folder c to the desktop, in the desktop display, folder c changes from including application 1 and application c to including application c, and the corner mark of the unread message of application 1 is no longer displayed.

S63, when the electronic equipment adopts a second mode shown in FIG. 4, the application 1 moves from the folder c to the desktop.

After application 1 is contained in folder c, the attribute items 21 and 22 of application 1 are not synchronized. Thus, after application 1 moves from folder c to the desktop, folder c changes from including application 1 and application c to a corner mark display including application c, and the unread message of application 1, in the desktop display.

It should be noted that, besides the application 1, other folders in the desktop may also implement modification of attribute settings related to unread messages for each application in other folders according to the above description, which is not described herein.

In summary, the electronic device may set the attribute setting of one folder with respect to the unread message to the effect that the user desires not to display the corner mark, for example, by moving the application/another folder into the folder or moving the application/another folder into the folder and moving the application/another folder from the folder to the desktop with the attribute setting of the folder c with respect to the unread message, the corner mark of the unread message of the application/another folder may be deleted quickly.

In other embodiments, the desktop of the electronic device may further include: application 1.

For application 1, the electronic device sets the following:

attribute item 21 of application 1: the application 1 receives the unread message and receives the unread message or does not receive the unread message;

attribute item 22 of application 1: the display of the corner mark of the unread message of the application 1 is turned off.

It can be seen that application 1 does not display the corner mark of the unread message in the desktop display.

Referring to fig. 15B-15C, fig. 15B-15C are schematic flow diagrams illustrating a message processing method according to an embodiment of the application.

As shown in fig. 15B, the message processing method of the present application may include:

s71, the application 1 moves from the desktop to the folder a.

In the desktop display of folder a, folder a changes from including application a to including application 1 and application a.

In the open page of folder a, the corner mark of the unread message of application 1 is displayed.

S72, when the electronic device adopts the mode shown in FIG. 4, the application 1 moves from the folder a to the desktop.

After application 1 is contained in folder a, application 1's property item 21 has been synchronized as folder a's property item 11, and application 1's property item 22 has been synchronized as folder a's property item 12. Thus, after application 1 moves from folder a to the desktop, folder a changes from including application 1 and application a to a corner mark display including application a, an unread message for application 1, in the desktop display.

S73, when the electronic equipment adopts a second mode shown in FIG. 4, the application 1 moves from the folder a to the desktop.

After application 1 is contained in folder a, the attribute items 21 and 22 of application 1 are not synchronized. Thus, after application 1 moves from folder a to the desktop, in the desktop display, folder a changes from including application 1 and application a to including application a, and the corner mark of the unread message of application 1 is no longer displayed.

As shown in fig. 15C, the message processing method of the present application may include: s81, the application 1 moves from the desktop to the folder b.

In the desktop display of folder b, folder b changes from including application b to including application 1 and application b.

In the open page of folder b, the corner mark of the unread message of application 1 is displayed.

S82, when the electronic device adopts the mode shown in FIG. 4, the application 1 moves from the folder b to the desktop.

After application 1 is contained in folder b, application 1's property item 21 has been synchronized as folder b's property item 11, and application 1's property item 22 has been synchronized as folder b's property item 12. Thus, after application 1 moves from folder b to the desktop, folder b changes from including application 1 and application b to a corner mark display including application b, an unread message for application 1, in the desktop display.

S83, when the electronic equipment adopts a second mode shown in FIG. 4, the application 1 moves from the folder b to the desktop.

After application 1 is contained in folder b, the attribute items 21 and 22 of application 1 are not synchronized. Thus, after application 1 moves from folder b to the desktop, folder b changes from including application 1 and application b to including application b in the desktop display, and the corner mark of the unread message of application 1 is no longer displayed.

In summary, the electronic device may set the attribute setting of one folder with respect to the unread message to the display effect desired by the user in advance, and by means of the attribute setting of the folder (such as folder a or folder b or folder c) with respect to the unread message, the attribute setting of the application/folder with respect to the unread message in the desktop/folder may be quickly modified by moving the application/another folder into the folder, or moving the application/another folder into the folder and moving the application/another folder from the folder to the desktop, which is beneficial to simplifying the user operation.

The attribute information of the first application is specific attribute information set according to the attribute of the first application. In some embodiments, the attribute of the first application includes at least one of whether an unread message is received, or a display mode of the application corner mark. For a specific implementation of the attribute information of the first application, reference may be made to the description of the aforementioned application 1 with respect to the attribute settings of the unread message. For example, attribute item 21 and attribute item 22 of application 1.

The first folder includes one or more application programs, may include one or more folders, and may include both application programs and folders, and the specific implementation of the first folder may be found in the description of folder 1 mentioned above. For example, the first folder may be a chat folder.

The attribute information of the first folder is specific attribute information set according to the attribute of the first folder. In some embodiments, the attribute of the first folder includes at least one of whether an unread message is received, or a display mode of the application corner mark. For a specific implementation of the attribute information of the first folder, reference may be made to the description of the aforementioned folder 1 regarding the attribute settings of the unread message. For example, an attribute item 11 and an attribute item 12 of the folder 1.

It should be noted that, when the attribute information of the first application is used to indicate that an unread message is received and an application icon is displayed, the attribute information may be understood as an icon of the unread message of the first application displayed in the desktop. The attribute information of the first application, when used to indicate that an unread message is received, an application corner mark is not displayed, or an unread message is not received, may be understood as displaying the attribute information of the first application in the setting of the electronic device, such as the user interface 21 shown in fig. 6B, 9C, 12C, and 13B.

In addition, the attribute information of the first folder may be understood as a corner mark of the unread message of the first folder displayed on the desktop, or may be understood as the attribute information of the first folder displayed on the setting page of the first folder, such as the user interface 24 shown in fig. 7A, 8A, 9A, 10A, 11A, 12A, and 13A.
