In the following embodiments, an electronic device is a mobile phone and a group is a folder. For example, both the first group and the second group may be folders. The icon switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described.

An embodiment of the present application provides an icon switching method. Based on the first page 300 and the second page 309 of the desktop shown in FIG. 3, the specific execution process of the icon switching method can be seen in FIGS. 4A-15.

When the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the entertainment group 305 in the first page 300 shown in (a) of FIG. 3, as shown in (a) of FIG. 4A, the electronic device displays the opened entertainment group 305 and the entertainment group 305 includes a vibrato icon, a quick hand icon, a tiger tooth icon, and a Sohu video icon 307. When the electronic device detects that the user presses the Sohu video icon 307 in the entertainment group 305 as shown in FIG. 4A (a), it triggers the activation (or selection) of the Sohu video icon 307 and displays (b) in FIG. 4A ), Which is the grouping interface 401, that is, the electronic device updates the interface displaying the opened entertainment grouping 305 to display the grouping interface 401. The pressure can be understood as the user pressing the Sohu video icon 307, and the pressure value can be greater than or equal to a preset pressure threshold. In response to pressing an icon (such as the Sohu video icon 307) under pressure, the electronic device may activate the icon and may display a grouping interface (such as the grouping interface shown in (b) in FIG. 4A). It can be understood that the pressing force of the click operation may be less than a preset pressure threshold. Similar to the pressure operation, there is also a pressure long press. A long press means that the user presses more than or equal to a preset pressure threshold, and the duration of the press is greater than or equal to a preset time threshold.

The grouping interface 401 includes groups other than the entertainment group 305 on each page of the desktop, that is, the group to which the Sohu video icon 307 in the entertainment group 305 can be switched, such as a tool group 306, a video group 310, and a shopping group 311. That is, when the electronic device detects that the user presses the Sohu video icon 307 in the entertainment group 305 as shown in FIG. 4A (a), the electronic device updates the interface displaying the opened entertainment group 305 to display the desktop A grouping interface 401 for groups other than the entertainment group 305 on the page.

When the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the target group of audio and video group 310 shown in (b) of FIG. 4A, the electronic device is triggered to display a check mark 402 on the audio and video group 310 and classify the Sohu video icon 307 into the audio and video group 310. . At this time, the electronic device displays the Sohu video icon 307 in the audio and video group 310. In an implementation solution, after the electronic device detects that the user clicks the audiovisual group 310 shown in (b) of FIG. 4A, as shown in (c) of FIG. 4A, the thumbnail of the audiovisual group 310 includes Sohu video Icon 307. When the electronic device detects that the user clicks the audio / video group 310 in (c) of FIG. 4A, as shown in (d) of FIG. 4A, the electronic device displays the opened audio / video group 310, and the audio / video group 310 includes the iQiyi video icon , Tencent video icon, Youku video icon, and Sohu video icon 307. At this time, the Sohu video icon 307 is no longer included in the entertainment group 305.

In another implementation, after the electronic device detects that the user clicks the audio / video group 310 shown in (b) of FIG. 4A, as shown in (d) of FIG. 4A, the electronic device may automatically display the opened audio / video group. 310. The Sohu video icon 307 enters the audio and video group 310. The audio and video group 310 includes iQiyi video icon, Tencent video icon, Youku video icon, and Sohu video icon 307.

Specifically, after the Sohu video icon 307 enters the audio / video group 310, in one implementation, as shown in (d) of FIG. 4A, the Sohu video icon 307 is located at the position of the last icon in the bottom row of the audio / video group 310 ; In another implementation, the Sohu video icon 307 is the first icon in the top row of the audio and video group 310; in another implementation, the position of the Sohu video icon 307 in the application group 310 may be an electronic device Randomly set.

Optionally, multiple groups in the grouping interface 401 may be arranged in order of priority. Exemplarily, the priority of the audio and video group 310 and the shopping group 311 on the second page is higher than the priority of the tool group 306 on the first page. As another example, a group having a strong correlation with an activated icon has a higher priority. Exemplarily, the audio / video group 310 is strongly associated with the activated Sohu video icon 307, so the first group in the top row displayed in the grouping interface 401 may be the audio / video group 310. As another example, a packet frequently used by a user (for example, a packet frequently used therein is frequently used) has a high priority. Exemplarily, the shopping group 311 is a group frequently used by users, so the first group in the top row displayed in the grouping interface 401 may be the shopping group 311.

It can be seen that during the group switching process described in FIG. 4A, the user does not need to drag the Sohu video icon 307 to cut the screen (that is, switch the page on the desktop), so that the Sohu video icon 307 can be grouped from the entertainment group 305 in the first page 300 Switching to the video and audio grouping 310 of the second page 309 enables the cross-screen (ie, cross-page) switching grouping of the Sohu video icon 307, so the operation is simpler.

It should be noted that the group switching process described in FIG. 4A is described by taking the user-selected target group, that is, the audio / video group 310 and the entertainment group 305 where the Sohu video icon 307 is located as an example.
