Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The following first describes the icon display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that the icon display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a terminal. Specifically, the terminal may be any device with a communication function, such as: a computer (Computer), a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA for short), Mobile Internet Device (MID), Wearable Device (Wearable Device), etc.

It should be noted that the icon in the embodiment of the present invention may be an application icon, a shortcut icon, etc. For ease of understanding, the embodiment of the present invention takes the case where the icon is an application icon as an example for description.

Referring to FIG. 1, the figure shows a flowchart of an icon display method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the method is applied to a terminal, and the method includes the following steps:

Step 101: Receive a first input from a user, where the first input is used to select a first target area through a target finger.

The target finger may be any finger of the user, and the number of target fingers may be one (as shown in FIGS. 2 to 8 ), two (as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 ), or more than two. It can be understood that, when the first input from the user is received, the current interface of the terminal may be a screen-off interface, an application interface, or the like.

It should be noted that the specific implementation forms of step 101 are various, and an example is introduced below.

In a specific implementation form, step 101 includes:

A first input from the user in the display area of the terminal display screen is received.

Wherein, the first input may be input in the first display area and/or the second display area of the terminal display screen. Optionally, the terminal display screen may be a special-shaped screen, and the first display area and the second display area may be two separated areas in the top area of the special-shaped screen. Specifically, the terminal display screen may be a display screen with a notch area as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 10 ; wherein the notch area is a non-display area recessed at the top of the screen for setting devices such as cameras. 2 to 10 , the two sides of the bangs area (eg, the display area 202 and the display area 203 in FIG. 2 ) correspond to the first display area and the second display area, which may be commonly referred to as ear areas. It should be pointed out that the first display area and the second display area may also include a concave top area of the special-shaped screen, that is, a display area close to the bottom end of the notch area.

In this embodiment of the present invention, in the first display area and/or the second display area of the terminal display screen, the user can conveniently perform the first input.

It should be pointed out that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal display screen may not be a special-shaped screen, which is also feasible.

In the embodiment of the present invention, no matter whether the terminal display screen is a special-shaped screen or not, there are various types of the first input. The first input may include touch input on the terminal display screen, and specifically, the first input may include at least one of the following: a sliding operation, a multi-point pressing operation, a pressing operation, and a clicking operation on any side.

When the first input includes a sliding operation, the first input may include a sliding operation from either side of the display area to a preset center area of the display area (in this case, the sliding operation is a sliding operation from the edge of the screen to the inside), At this time, the direction of the first input may be as shown by arrow 201 in FIG. 2 , as shown by arrow 301 in FIG. 3 , as shown by arrow 401 in FIG. 4 , or as shown by arrow 501 in FIG. 5 .

It should be noted that the preset central area may be a rectangular area with the center point of the display area as the geometric center, the length of the rectangular area may be 1/2 of the length of the display area, and the height of the rectangular area may be the height of the display area. 1/2 of the height, of course, the shape and size of the preset central area are not limited to this, and can be specifically determined according to the actual situation, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

When the first input includes a sliding operation, the first input may also include a sliding operation from one side of the display area to the other side of the display area or other sliding operations, which will not be listed here.

It can be seen that, through the sliding operation on the display area, the user can conveniently realize the first input, so that the terminal can perform the subsequent step 102 according to the first input.

When the first input includes a multi-point pressing operation, the first input may include a pressing operation on at least two points on the display area. In this case, the first and last two points of the pressing operation may or may not overlap.

It can be seen that, through the multi-point pressing operation on the display area, the user can also conveniently realize the first input, so that the terminal can perform the subsequent step 102 according to the first input.

In the first input including a pressing operation and a clicking operation on any side, the user can click on any side of the display area first, and then perform a pressing operation on at least one point in the display area; of course, the user can also Perform a press operation on at least one point in the display area before clicking on either side of the display area.

It can be seen that, through the pressing operation on the display area and the clicking operation on any side, the user can also conveniently realize the first input, so that the terminal can perform the subsequent step 102 according to the first input.

As can be seen from the above example, when the user performs the first input in the display area of the terminal display screen, the user's target finger is in direct contact with the terminal display screen, so that the terminal can directly identify the first input through the fingerprint recognition module under the display screen. It should be emphasized that, when the first input is performed, the user's target finger may not be in direct contact with the terminal display screen. In this case, the terminal may recognize the first input through a non-contact sensing method. After identifying the first input, the terminal may respond to the first input.

Step 102: In response to the first input, display the target control in the first target area, and display N icons in the target desktop in the second target area corresponding to the target control.

The first target area and the second target area are local areas in the display area of the terminal display screen, the target desktop is the desktop corresponding to the fingerprint information of the target finger, and N is a positive integer.

In step 102, the target control may be a preset control; or, the target control may be a control generated according to the first input. Optionally, the target control may be a line-type control, such as a Touchline (which may be referred to as a touch line, a manipulation line, an operation control, etc.). Specifically, the target control may be the touch line 601 shown in FIG. 6 , the touch line 701 shown in FIG. 7 , the touch line 801 shown in FIG. 8 , or the touch line shown in FIG. 10 . 1001, at this time, the width of the target control may range from 1 cm to 5 cm, and the target control may also be in the shape of a strip. Certainly, the target control may also adopt other shapes (eg, rectangle, circle) and width range, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, according to different types of the first input, there are certain differences between the first target area selected by the user through the first input and the second target area corresponding to the target control.

When the first input includes a sliding operation from any side of the display area to a preset center area of the display area, two preset points may be set on each side of the display area, and the two preset points are located at both ends of the side.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the first input includes a sliding operation from the upper side of the display area to the preset center area. Then, the terminal can convert the preset point at the left end of the upper side, the termination node of the sliding operation, and the upper side The connection line formed by the three preset points at the right end is smoothly connected in sequence, and the area formed by the upper side is used as the first target area, and the terminal can display the target control in the first target area. During specific implementation, the terminal may display a connection line formed by smoothly connecting the preset point at the left end of the upper side, the termination node of the sliding operation, and the preset point at the right end of the upper side in sequence as the touch line 601 . In this case, as shown in FIG. 6 , the second target area corresponding to the target control may be the area located above the touch line 601 in the display area. Of course, the second target area may also be the area located above the touch line 601 in the display area. area below.

As shown in FIG. 7 , the first input includes a sliding operation from the left side of the display area to the preset center area. Then, the terminal can convert the preset point on the upper end of the left side, the termination node of the sliding operation, and the left side The connection line formed by the three preset points at the lower end is smoothly connected in sequence, and the area formed by the left edge is set as the first target area. Similar to FIG. 6 , in this case, the second target area corresponding to the target control may be the area located to the left of the touch line 701 in the display area. Of course, the second target area may also be the area located at the touch line 701 in the display area. area on the right.

It can be seen from FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 that, in the case where the display area of the display screen is divided into two areas by touch lines, the second target area can be the operation area when the user performs the first input (for example, in FIG. The area above the touch line 601 ), or the second target area may be an area opposite to the operation area when the user performs the first input (eg, the area below the touch line 601 in FIG. 6 ).

It should be pointed out that the situation where the second target area is the area opposite to the operation area when the user performs the first input is applicable to the scenario where the user uses the terminal with one hand. Taking FIG. 6 as an example, when the user holds the upper left corner of the terminal with one hand, if the user performs a sliding operation from the upper side of the display area to the preset center area, the terminal will display the target in the area below the touch line 601. Icons on the desktop, at this point, the user can search and operate the icons located in the lower right corner of the target desktop with one hand. It can be seen that this situation can facilitate the one-handed operation of the user.

When the first input includes a multi-point pressing operation, the terminal may use a smooth curve to connect the plurality of pressing points in sequence according to the operation sequence. Assuming that the first and last two pressing points of the pressing operation are coincident, in this way, multiple pressing points may be connected in sequence to form an ellipse. The terminal can use the area within the ellipse as the first target area, and the terminal can display the display in the first target area. target control. Specifically, the terminal may display a preset rectangular control in the first target area. In this case, the second target area corresponding to the target control may be an area formed by the border setting of the rectangular control.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the user may pre-enter fingerprint information into the terminal, so that the terminal pre-stores the correspondence between the fingerprint information and the desktop. Specifically, the fingerprint information of the user's left thumb may correspond to the desktop displayed on the first screen of the terminal, the fingerprint information of the user's left index finger may correspond to the desktop displayed on the second screen of the terminal, and the fingerprint information of the user's left middle finger may correspond to The desktop displayed on the third page screen of the terminal corresponds to, ..., the fingerprint information of the user's right thumb may correspond to the desktop displayed on the sixth page screen of the terminal. Of course, the correspondence between the fingerprint information of the user's finger and the desktop is not limited to the situation listed above, and can be specifically determined according to the actual situation, and will not be listed one by one here.

Since the terminal pre-stores the correspondence between the fingerprint information and the desktop, after receiving the first input from the user, the terminal can display the target control in the first target area in response to the first input, and the terminal can also display the target control according to the pre-stored The corresponding relationship is to determine the desktop corresponding to the fingerprint information of the target finger, that is, the target desktop. After that, the terminal may display N icons in the target desktop in the second target area corresponding to the target control. Wherein, the N icons displayed in the second target area may include all icons or some icons in the target desktop.

In this embodiment of the present invention, if the user needs to find an icon in the terminal, the user can use the target finger to perform the first input; wherein, the target finger can correspond to the target desktop where the icon to be found is located. In this way, in the case of receiving the first input, the terminal can respond to the first input, display the target control in the first target area selected by the first input, and display the N target desktops in the second target area corresponding to the target control icon. After that, the user can select a desired icon from the N icons displayed in the second target area to perform operations according to actual needs (for example, click an application icon to quickly start the corresponding application). It can be seen that the user does not need to perform operations such as manually lighting the screen, manually unlocking the screen, etc., the user only needs to use the corresponding target finger to perform the first input according to the icon to be found, and the terminal can display the desktop where the icon to be found is located in the second target area. icon for the user to search. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention can realize the search of the icon more conveniently.

Optionally, display N icons in the target desktop, including:

Display N icons located in the second target area on the target desktop.

The icons on the target desktop located in the second target area are: when the terminal switches to display the target desktop, the icons on the target desktop are displayed in the second target area.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 , in the case where the second target area is an area located above the touch line 601 in the display area, the terminal only switches from displaying the terminal in the second target area to displaying the target desktop. The icon located above the touch line 601; as shown in FIG. 7, in the case where the second target area is the area located to the left of the touch line 701 in the display area, the terminal only switches the display terminal to the display in the second target area When the target desktop is used, the icon on the left side of the touch line 701 in the target desktop.

It should be pointed out that in the case where the second target area displays N icons located in the second target area on the target desktop, the remaining areas in the display area except the second target area can maintain the interface before receiving the first input. , such as keeping the screen off interface, application interface, etc.

At present, icons stored in each desktop of a terminal are often numerous and complex, and if a user searches for icons among numerous icons, the search efficiency will be low. In this embodiment of the present invention, the terminal only displays some of the icons in the target desktop in the second target area, rather than all the icons, which is beneficial to improve the pertinence of icon search, so as to facilitate the user to find the desired icon, so as to improve the user's search Efficiency of icons.

Optionally, the first input includes a sliding operation; at this time, in response to the first input, a target control is displayed in the first target area, including:

In response to the swipe operation, the target control is displayed within the swipe range of the swipe operation.

The terminal may display the target control within the entire sliding range of the sliding operation, or, as shown in FIG. 6 , FIG. 7 , FIG. 8 , and FIG. 10 , the terminal may display the target control only within a part of the sliding range of the sliding operation (for example, only display the touch line at the edge).

During the sliding process, the display target control is updated according to the sliding distance of the sliding operation.

Wherein, updating the display target control is updating the display parameters of the target control. In the case where the target control is a touch line, updating the display target control may be updating the radian and length of the touch line; wherein, the length of the touch line can be related to the sliding The sliding distance of the operation is positively correlated. Taking the case where the target control is the touch line 601 shown in FIG. 6 as an example, in the process of the user performing the sliding operation from the upper side of the display area to the preset center area, as the sliding distance gradually increases, The length of the touch wire 601 also increases accordingly. Taking the case where the target control is the touch line 701 shown in FIG. 7 as an example, when the user performs a sliding operation from the left edge of the display area to the preset center area, the length of the touch line 701 also follows increase.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present invention, during the process of the user performing the sliding operation, the target control can be updated and displayed, so that the user can control the sliding distance of the sliding operation, so that the terminal can display in the second target region The target control for the desired display parameter.

Optionally, the first input includes a multi-finger sliding operation of M target fingers in the display area, and the number of target desktops is M, where M is an integer greater than 1. Specifically, the M fingerprint information of the M target fingers and the M target desktops may be in one-to-one correspondence.

In the second target area corresponding to the target control, display N icons in the target desktop, including:

In the second target area corresponding to the target control, N icons in the M target desktops are displayed in a partition.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 , the user can use two target fingers to perform a multi-finger sliding operation in the display area of the display screen along the direction shown by arrow 901 . The fingerprint information of the two target fingers performing the multi-finger sliding operation corresponds to the two target desktops. Therefore, the terminal can display the icons in the two target desktops in partitions in the second target area. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention can simultaneously display the icons in at least two target desktops in the second target area, so as to realize the display of the icons in multiple target desktops, so that it is convenient for the user to display the icons in different target desktops at the same time. Search and operate, and can also manage icons in multiple target desktops.

Optionally, in the second target area corresponding to the target control, the partition displays N icons in the M target desktops, including:

In the M sub-areas in the second target area corresponding to the target control, the icons in each of the M target desktops are displayed respectively;

The icons in different target desktops are respectively displayed in different sub-areas.

In this embodiment of the present invention, when the first input includes a multi-finger sliding operation of M target fingers in the display area, the terminal may divide the second target area into M sub-areas in response to the multi-finger sliding operation; wherein M The areas of each of the sub-regions may be the same or different. Afterwards, the terminal may display the icons in each target desktop of the M target desktops in the divided M sub-regions, and cause icons in different target desktops to be displayed in different sub-regions respectively.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 , assuming that the user performs a multi-finger sliding operation on the display screen using the right index finger and the right middle finger, the right index finger is located on the left side, and the right middle finger is located on the right side, then, as shown in FIG. 10 , the terminal can Two target areas are divided into two sub-areas horizontally side by side; wherein, the sub-area 1002 located on the left side displays the application icon in the target desktop corresponding to the fingerprint information of the right index finger, and the sub-area 1003 located on the right side displays the fingerprint information corresponding to the middle finger of the right hand the application icon in the target desktop. In this way, the user can conveniently find and operate the application icons in the target desktop corresponding to the fingerprint information of the right index finger and the right middle finger.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present invention, icons in different desktops are located in different sub-areas in the second target area, which can further facilitate users to search and operate icons located in different target desktops.

Optionally, after the N icons in the M target desktops are displayed by partition in the second target area corresponding to the target control, the method further includes:

receiving a second input from the user on two target icons located in different target desktops;

The second input includes voice input, touch input, and the like. When the second input includes a touch input, the second input may include a synchronous pressing operation, a synchronous clicking operation, and the like.

In response to the second input, a synchronous processing operation on the two target icons is performed.

Specifically, the synchronization processing operation includes at least one of the following:

The operation of synchronously uninstalling the applications corresponding to the two target icons;

The operation of synchronously starting the application corresponding to the two target icons;

Synchronously clean up or close the applications corresponding to the two target icons;

Simultaneously encrypt or decrypt the operation of the application corresponding to the two target icons;

An operation that swaps the positions of two target icons.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the corresponding relationship between the pressing pressure range and the synchronous processing operation may be pre-stored in the terminal. For example, the pressing pressure range Z1 may correspond to the operation of synchronously uninstalling the applications corresponding to the two icons; the pressing pressure range Z2 may correspond to The operation of synchronously starting the application corresponding to the two icons; pressing the pressure range Z3 can correspond to the operation of synchronously cleaning or closing the application corresponding to the two icons; pressing the pressure range Z4 can correspond to the operation of synchronously encrypting or decrypting the application corresponding to the two icons; pressing The pressure range Z5 can correspond to the operation of exchanging the positions of the two icons.

As shown in FIG. 10 , the second input is a synchronous pressing operation on two application icons of “Game” located in the sub-area 1002 and “Phone” located in the sub-area 1003 .

Assuming that the pressing pressure range to which the pressing pressure of the synchronous pressing operation belongs is Z2, based on the correspondence between the above-mentioned pressing pressure range and the synchronous processing operation, the terminal can determine that the synchronous processing operation corresponding to the second input is the one corresponding to the synchronously activated two icons. The operation of the application. Therefore, in response to the second input, the terminal can simultaneously start the applications corresponding to the two application icons "game" and "phone", that is, the game application and the phone application.

Assuming that the pressing pressure range to which the pressing pressure of the synchronous pressing operation belongs is Z5, based on the correspondence between the above-mentioned pressing pressure range and the synchronizing processing operation, the terminal can determine that the synchronizing processing operation corresponding to the second input is one of exchanging the positions of the two icons. operate. Therefore, the terminal can exchange the positions of the two application icons "game" and "phone" in response to the second input, so that the target desktops where the two application icons "game" and "phone" are located are exchanged. Similarly, users can also swap the positions of the two app icons "Weather" and "Clock".

It can be seen that, in this embodiment of the present invention, the user only needs to perform the second input, and the terminal can respond to the second input to perform a synchronous processing operation on two target icons located on different target desktops. In this way, the embodiment of the present invention It is very convenient to realize the synchronous management of applications located in different target desktops.

Optionally, display target controls in the first target area, including:

Obtains the hovering position of the target finger, where the hovering position is the position where the dwell time of the target finger is greater than the preset time.

The preset duration may be 1 second, 2 seconds, or 3 seconds. Of course, the value of the preset duration is not limited to this, and may be specifically determined according to the actual situation, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Lock the target control at the target position corresponding to the hover position for display.

It should be noted that, according to whether the user's target finger is in contact with the display screen of the terminal when the first input is performed, there are two possible situations for the hovering position. In the first case, when the user's target finger is in direct contact with the display screen of the terminal when the first input is executed, the hovering position is the target position; in the second case, when the first input is executed, the user's target finger is in direct contact with the display screen of the terminal. If there is no direct contact with the display screen of the terminal, the position of the orthographic projection of the hovering position on the display screen of the terminal is the target position.

Specifically, taking FIG. 6 as an example, in the process of the user performing the sliding operation from the upper side of the display area to the preset center area, as the sliding distance gradually increases, the length of the touch line 601 also increases. If the target finger stays at a certain position (such as the position shown in Figure 6) for longer than the preset time, this position is the hovering position, and this position can be considered as a suitable locking position selected by the user. , the terminal locks the touch line 601 at this position for display. When the touch line 601 is locked, the icons (“Music”, “SMS”, “Weibo”, etc.) located in the area above the touch line 601 will remain displayed. In this way, assuming that the user needs to use the terminal to process other transactions, after the user has completed these transactions, since the icons in the area above the touch line 601 are still displayed, the user can still Each icon in the area above 601 is operated, for example, clicking "SMS" to start the SMS application.

It can be seen that in this embodiment of the present invention, the user can determine the hovering position of the target finger according to actual needs, so as to control the target control to be locked at the position required by the user for display. In this way, the user can perform multi-step operations on the terminal without Affects the icon displayed in the second target area corresponding to the locked target control.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present invention, the target control may not be locked. Assuming that the touch line 601 in FIG. 6 is in an unlocked state, and the user needs to use the game application, the user can click the icon "Game" located above the touch line 601, so that the terminal will start the game application. At this time, icons such as "Music", "SMS" and "Weibo" will not be displayed in the display area, and the display area can display the complete game interface. It can be seen that, without locking the target control, the embodiment of the present invention can effectively prevent the icon displayed in the second target area corresponding to the locked target control from affecting the user's next operation.

Optionally, after displaying the N icons in the target desktop, the method further includes:

A third input from the user is received.
