It will be appreciated that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the application may be practiced in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and that the terms "first," "second," and the like are generally used herein in a generic sense and do not limit the number of terms, e.g., the first term can be one or more than one. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The icon generation method, the icon generation device, the electronic device, and the readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

Referring to fig. 1, the icon generating method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

step 101, receiving a first input of a target candidate icon and a first position from a user.

Step 102, responding to the first input, generating a target icon corresponding to the target candidate icon, and displaying the target icon according to target display parameters; wherein the target display parameters are associated with the first location, and the target display parameters include: at least one of a display size, a display position, and a display mode.

In a specific implementation, the target candidate icon may be any one or more icons in an icon library, and the icon may display application icons of all installed applications on the electronic device, or other icons such as component icons may also be displayed in the icon library, for example: the control icon for controlling a specific function of an application program specifically includes: a music playing component icon of a music playing application.

It should be noted that, in a normal display state, the icon library may be hidden and displayed, and a preset operation needs to be performed by a user to trigger the display of the icon library, for example: and when the fingers of the user perform touch input such as long pressing, sliding and the like in the blank area of the desktop, displaying the icon library on the desktop. The method is equivalent to the method that an icon library can be regarded as a 'drawer', and when the method is needed to be used, the drawer can be opened to view or use the alternative icons in the drawer; when the drawer is not needed to be used, the drawer can be folded and hidden.

In an embodiment, the generating of the target icon corresponding to the target candidate icon may be understood as copying the target candidate icon onto a desktop or a current interface, and at this time, the target candidate icon is still displayed in the icon library.

Of course, the generation of the target icon corresponding to the target candidate icon may be understood as follows: and moving the target alternative icon to the desktop or the current interface, wherein the target alternative icon is not displayed in the icon library at the moment.

The target display parameters may include: for convenience of description, in the following embodiments, the icon generation method provided in the embodiments of the present application is exemplified by taking the target display parameter as an example including the display size.

The first position may include a touch position of the first input on the display screen, for example: a touch position, a slide start position, a slide end position, and the like, through which the slide input passes.

Furthermore, at least two adjusting icons associated with different display parameters can be displayed on the terminal, so that when a user touches the position of a certain adjusting icon through the first input, it is determined that the target display parameters include the display parameters associated with the adjusting icon. Thus, the target display parameter associated with the first location may be implemented as follows:

1) assuming that the first input is a slide input, the target display parameter may be determined according to touch position information such as a start position, an end position, and a passing touch area of the slide input. For example: and determining the display parameters associated with the target area as the target display parameters if the target area is associated with the display parameters in advance.

2) Assuming that the first input comprises a long press input, the associated target display parameter may be determined based on the long press position. For example: after the target candidate icon in the icon library is dragged to the desktop, the target icon can be displayed at a touch position where the target candidate icon is held on the desktop for long pressing.

Of course, the first input shown may include, in addition to the sliding input or the long press input described above: continuous clicking, repeated pressing, double-finger operation and other touch input. Correspondingly, the target display parameter is associated with the first position, and may also be determined according to other touch positions such as a continuous click position of the first input, which is not exhaustive here.

As an optional implementation, the receiving a first input of the target candidate icon and the first position by the user includes:

receiving a first input acted on a target alternative icon by a user, moving the target alternative icon, and displaying an icon adjusting area; the icon adjusting area is provided with at least two adjusting icons, different adjusting icons are associated with different display parameters, the first position comprises the position of a target adjusting icon, and the at least two adjusting icons comprise the target adjusting icon;

the responding to the first input, generating a target icon corresponding to the target candidate icon, and displaying the target icon according to a target display parameter, including:

determining a display parameter associated with the target adjustment icon as the target display parameter when the target alternative icon is moved to at least partially coincide with the target adjustment icon;

and generating a target icon corresponding to the target candidate icon, and displaying the target icon at the moving destination position corresponding to the first input according to the target display parameter.

In this embodiment, receiving a first input acted on a target candidate icon by a user, and moving the target candidate icon may be understood as: the first input is a sliding input, the target candidate icon is used as a sliding starting point by the sliding input, in the process of dragging the target candidate icon by a user, the display of the icon adjustment area is triggered, at this time, the user can continue to drag the target candidate icon, so that the target candidate icon is moved to be at least partially overlapped with the target adjustment icon, that is, the first position may include a position where the target adjustment icon at least partially overlapped with the target candidate icon is located.

In addition, the above-mentioned determining the display parameter associated with the target adjustment icon as the target display parameter may be understood as: and at least partially overlapping the target adjusting icon to realize preselection of display parameters of the target icon to be generated. Meanwhile, the displaying the target icon at the moving destination position corresponding to the first input according to the target display parameter may be understood as follows: the first position further includes a movement end position corresponding to the first input, and the target display parameter further includes a display position corresponding to the movement end position corresponding to the first input.

In addition, at least two different adjustment icons may be displayed in the icon adjustment area, and for convenience of distinction, the different adjustment icons may have different display parameters, such as: as shown in fig. 2a to 2c, when the user drags the target candidate icon 21 in the icon library to the desktop through a sliding input, the icon library is hidden, and an icon adjustment area 22 is displayed on the desktop, and 4 sizes are displayed in the icon adjustment area 22, which are respectively: the adjustment icons 221 of 1 × 1, 1 × 2, 2 × 1, and 2 × 2 are displayed in the size of 1 × 2 when the user continues to hold the slide input to drag the target candidate icon 21 to at least partially overlap the adjustment icon 221 of the size of 1 × 2, and at this time, the user continues to hold the slide input to move the target candidate icon 21 of the size of 1 × 2 out of the icon adjustment area 22 to a target position on the desktop, and then the target icon 23 of the size of 1 × 2 is displayed at the target position on the desktop.

Of course, after the user moves the target candidate icon to at least partially coincide with one adjustment icon to update and display the target candidate icon according to the display parameter associated with the adjustment icon, the user may further continue to drag the target candidate icon to move the target candidate icon to at least partially coincide with another adjustment icon, and at this time, the display target candidate icon may be updated according to the display parameter associated with another adjustment icon currently at least partially coinciding with the target candidate icon.

For example: as shown in fig. 2a and fig. 2b, a user prepares to generate a 1 × 2 shaped irregular icon on a desktop, first, by long-pressing the 1 × 1 candidate icon 21 in the icon library and dragging it for a certain distance, a logic for placing the icon 21 onto the desktop is triggered, at this time, the icon library is automatically closed, and an adjustment area 22 is displayed above the desktop, the user keeps long-pressing and drags the 1 × 1 candidate icon 21 under the finger to the desired 1 × 2 adjustment icon, then the 1 × 1 candidate icon 21 automatically changes to the 1 × 2 form, at this time, if the user is not satisfied with the 1 × 2 form, the user can continue to move the finger transversely to drag the 1 × 2 candidate icon 21 to the 2 × 2 adjustment icon to perform corresponding deformation. Finally, after the user selects the size of the candidate icon 21, the candidate icon 21 is moved out of the adjustment area 22, at this time, the shape of the candidate icon 21 is locked to the target size associated with the target modulation icon determined last time, and the adjustment area 22 is automatically closed. At this time, the user may move the candidate icon 21 of the target size at each page or position on the desktop, so that after the target position is selected, the target icon 23 corresponding to the candidate icon 21 is displayed at the target position according to the target size.

Compared with the prior art, in which complex operation processes such as dragging the target candidate icon in the icon library to the desktop, long-pressing the target icon on the desktop, and adjusting the display parameter of the target icon through display parameter selection operation need to be executed, in the embodiment, the display of the modulation region is triggered in the process of moving the target candidate icon by the user, so that the user can realize the functions of generating the target icon corresponding to the target candidate icon in the icon library and selecting the display parameter of the target icon through the same sliding input.

As an optional implementation, the first location includes a location where the first icon display area is located, and the receiving a first input of the target candidate icon and the first location by the user includes:

receiving a first input acted on a target alternative icon by a user, and moving the target alternative icon into the first icon display area;

and responding to the first input, displaying a target icon at the display position of the first icon display area, and determining the display size of the first icon display area as the display size of the target icon.

In a specific implementation, the first input may be any touch input for moving the target candidate icon, for example: and sliding input of dragging the target candidate icon.

On this basis, if the user drags the target candidate icon on the desktop, it may trigger to highlight each icon display area on the desktop, or highlight each blank icon display area, for example: and displaying a frame of each icon display area so that the user can move the target candidate icon to an ideal icon display area, wherein the blank icon display area can be understood as that no icon is displayed in the icon display area.

In this embodiment, the icon display areas at different positions on the desktop may have different display parameters, for example: as shown in fig. 3f, the desktop has 1 × 1, 1 × 2, 2 × 1 and 2 × 2 icon display areas 31, and when the user moves a certain candidate icon 32 into the icon display area located in the first row and the first column of the desktop as shown in fig. 3g, a target icon 33 corresponding to the candidate icon 32 is generated in the icon display area, and the display size of the target icon 33 matches the size of the corresponding icon display area 31.

In the embodiment, in the process of generating the target icon, the target candidate icon is only required to be moved to the icon display area corresponding to the display parameter desired by the user without additionally selecting the display parameter of the target icon, so that the target icon can be generated in the icon display area according to the display parameter of the icon display area, and the operation process is simpler and more convenient.

In practical application, display parameters such as the display position and the display size of the icon display area can be adjusted in a preset manner or in a manner of downloading a desktop template and the like.

The display parameters of the icon display area are adjusted in a manner preset by a user, which can be understood as follows: the method includes the steps that a blank template of the desktop is constructed in advance by a user, so that display parameters such as the display size and the display position of each icon display area are determined, and the process of generating a target icon on the desktop can be understood as the process of filling content in the blank template.

Similarly, after downloading the desktop template, subsequently generating the target icon on the desktop may also perform content filling according to the display format of the desktop template.

The process of constructing the desktop blank template in advance by the user to determine the display parameters such as the display size and the display position of each icon display area can be realized by the following steps:

as an optional implementation, before the receiving the first input of the target candidate icon and the first position by the user, the method further includes:

receiving a second input of the desktop by the user;

responding to the second input, and displaying a desktop editing interface, wherein the desktop editing interface comprises at least two display area units, and the display size of each display area unit is a target unit size;

receiving a third input of a user to N display area units in the at least two display units, wherein N is an integer greater than 1;

in response to the third input, merging the N display area units into one icon display area, determining a display size of the icon display area to be N times the target unit size, and determining a display position of the icon display area to be a display position including the N display area units.

In a specific implementation, the second input may be a touch input or a key input, which is used to trigger a desktop editing state, for example: the desktop editing interface can be displayed by triggering the desktop to enter an editing state through touch input of double-finger pinch performed by a user on the desktop.

In addition, the target unit size may be a size of 1 × 1, and the desktop editing interface includes at least two display area units, which may be understood as: the whole desktop is covered by 1 × 1 display area units, for example: as shown in FIG. 3a, the desktop editing interface 30 is populated with 5 rows, 4 columns, and 1 × 1 display area cells 34.

In an implementation, the user may merge at least two display region units adjacent to each other into an icon display region having a different shape by the third input. The third input may be touch input of any adjacent at least two display area units, for example: as shown in fig. 3b, when the user makes a slide input on the desktop editing interface 30 to connect 4 adjacent 1 × 1 display area units 34 at the upper left corner of the desktop editing interface 30, the 4 display area units 34 may be merged into one 2 × 2 icon display area 31 as shown in fig. 3 c.

Further, after the 4 display area units 34 are combined into one icon display area 31 as shown in fig. 3c, the 2 × 2 icon display area 31 may be further divided, for example: as shown in fig. 3d, if a vertical slide input is performed on the 2 × 2 icon display area 31, the 2 × 2 icon display area 31 may be divided into two 2 × 1

icon display areas

31A and 31B as shown in fig. 3e in the vertical direction.

That is, when the desktop editing interface includes an icon display area larger than the target unit size, if a fifth input to the icon display area is received, the icon display area is divided into a third sub display area and a fourth sub display area, where a display size of the icon display area is a sum of a display size of the third sub display area and a display size of the fourth sub display area.

In this embodiment, the fifth input may be a slide input performed on the icon display area, for example: assuming that the display size of the icon display area is 2 × 2, at this time, if a finger of a user slides horizontally on the icon display area, in response to the horizontal sliding input, the icon display area is divided into a third sub display area and a fourth sub display area which are distributed up and down, and the display sizes of the third sub display area and the fourth sub display area are both 1 × 2; when the user's finger is slid vertically on the icon display area, the icon display area is divided into a third sub display area and a fourth sub display area which are distributed in the left-right direction in response to the vertical slide input, and the display sizes of the third sub display area and the fourth sub display area are both 2 × 1.

Of course, the third input and the fifth input may be, besides a sliding input, one or more touch inputs such as clicking, double-clicking, and double-pressing, respectively, and are not limited in detail herein.

In this embodiment, the icon display areas on the desktop are edited in advance to form a desktop template together with the edited icon display areas, so that in the subsequent use process, a user only needs to select a position where a target icon to be generated needs to be placed, and can display the target icon according to the display parameter of the icon display area where the target icon is located.

It should be noted that the desktop in this embodiment may be understood as follows: one page on the desktop, that is, different desktop pages, may be set with different desktop templates, which is not described herein again.

receiving a first input acted on M candidate icons by a user, and moving the M candidate icons into a desktop, wherein the desktop comprises L icon display areas, each icon display area has a pre-associated display parameter, M and L are integers greater than 1, and L is greater than or equal to M;

responding to the first input, generating M application icons corresponding to the M candidate icons, and respectively displaying the M application icons in M icon display areas on the desktop;

the M application icons are displayed according to display parameters associated with the corresponding icon display areas, and the first positions comprise positions of the M icon display areas.

It should be noted that, in the specific implementation process of the present embodiment and the previous embodiment, the desktop template is generated or downloaded in advance, and moving the target candidate icon into the first icon display area through a first input, the embodiment of generating a target icon at the display position of the first icon display area and determining the display size of the first icon display area as the display size of the target icon is similar, except that in this embodiment, the number of candidate icons for which the first input is directed is M, and in response to the first input, the M candidate icons are in one-to-one correspondence with the M icon display areas on the desktop in a certain order, so that the M target icons are displayed in the M icon display areas in one-to-one correspondence, and each application icon is displayed according to the display parameters associated with the corresponding icon display area.

Wherein, the above-mentioned making M candidate icons correspond to M icon display areas on the desktop one to one according to a certain order can be understood as: according to the selection sequence of the M candidate icons and the arrangement sequence of the M icon display areas, the M candidate icons are in one-to-one correspondence with the M icon display areas on the desktop, for example: as shown in fig. 3f and 3g, assuming that M is equal to 3, if the user selects 3 candidate icons in the icon library in sequence: and when the user drags the 3 candidate icons into the desktop through a first input, sequentially displaying an icon A, an icon B and an icon C in a first row of the desktop, wherein the icon A is a target icon corresponding to the candidate icon A, the icon B is a target icon corresponding to the candidate icon B, and the icon C is a target icon corresponding to the candidate icon C.

Of course, in practical applications, the above-mentioned certain sequence may also include a random sequence, and is not specifically limited herein. That is, the first position may be determined according to the number M of the M candidate icons selected by the user and a preset order rule, for example: the first position may include the icon display areas arranged M in front of the desktop, or M icon display areas randomly selected on the desktop, etc.

According to the method and the device, the at least two target icons matched with the desktop template can be generated at one time by executing the first input once in the application scene that the user needs to generate the at least two target icons and moving the at least two candidate icons to the desktop in batches, so that the first input once needs to be executed for each candidate icon.

As an optional implementation, the method further comprises:

receiving a fourth input of the first application icon by the user;

determining a split icon display mode in response to the fourth input;

and displaying the body-divided icon of the first application icon according to the body-divided icon display mode, and updating and displaying the first application icon.

In a specific implementation, the fourth input may include: and at least one of long press input, repeated press input, sliding input and other touch input of the first application icon.

Optionally, the fourth input includes a long-press input to the first application icon, and in response to the long-press input, a first adjustment region is displayed, where the first adjustment region includes at least two display mode adjustment units, and different display mode adjustment units are associated with different display modes of the avatar icon, and at this time, the fourth input may further include a touch input to one of the display mode adjustment units, and in response to the touch input, the display mode of the avatar icon associated with the touch display mode adjustment unit is determined as the display mode of the avatar icon corresponding to the first application icon, and the avatar icon of the first application icon is displayed according to the display mode of the avatar icon, and the first application icon is displayed in an updated manner.

In a specific implementation, the body-splitting icon represents an icon of a body-splitting application corresponding to the first application icon, and when the user clicks the body-splitting icon, the body-splitting application may be started, and in addition, display modules of the body-splitting icon may be various, for example: it is not exhaustive here that the first application icon and the body-splitting icon are displayed in different areas, or the first display icon and the body-splitting icon are displayed in an overlapping manner.

Accordingly, the updating and displaying the first application icon may be understood as: the first application icon and the body-divided icon may be displayed in a combined manner or in an overlapping manner, depending on the different display modes of the body-divided icon, and the like, and are not particularly limited herein.

In the prior art, if a body-divided icon of an application icon needs to be displayed according to a certain body-divided icon display mode, the following processes need to be executed:

long-pressing the application icon to trigger and display the split icon selection frame;

selecting an application body from a body icon selection frame;

opening an icon library, and dragging the body-divided icon to a desktop;

long-pressing the split icon to trigger a display icon deformation button;

and clicking an icon deformation button to adjust the shape of the body splitting icon.

As can be seen from the above, the operation process of adjusting the shape of the avatar icon in the prior art is quite complex, and in the embodiment, the avatar icon of the first application icon can be displayed according to the avatar icon display mode and the first application icon can be updated and displayed only by performing the fourth input on the first application icon displayed on the desktop.

Further, the split icon display mode includes at least one of: a split body icon display mode, an overlap body icon display mode, and a connected body icon display mode. The display modes of the split icon are respectively as follows: the specific implementation modes of the split body icon display mode, the overlapped body icon display mode or the conjoined body icon display mode can be respectively the following three specific embodiments:

example one

And under the condition that the split body icon display mode is the split body icon display mode, the updated first application icon is displayed in a first sub display area, the split body icon is displayed in a second sub display area, and the display size of the first application icon before updating is the sum of the sizes of the first sub display area and the second sub display area.

In this embodiment, the original display area of the first application icon is divided into a first sub-display area and a second sub-display area, and the updated first application icon and the updated avatar icon are respectively displayed in the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area, so that the first application icon and the avatar icon are respectively displayed in different areas on the premise that other desktop icons are not affected.

For example: as shown in fig. 4a and 4b, a social application icon 41 is displayed on the desktop, and the display size of the social application icon 41 is 2 × 2, when the user presses the social application icon 41 for a long time to display the first adjustment area 42, and selects the split-body icon display mode 421 from the first adjustment area, that is, the fourth input includes the above-mentioned long press input for the social application icon 41 and the selection input for the split-body icon display mode 421; in response to this fourth input, the display area of the social application icon 41 is divided into two 2 × 1 sub-display areas distributed laterally, and the updated social application icon 411 and its avatar icon 412 are displayed within the two 2 × 1 sub-display areas, respectively.

The present embodiment is specifically applicable to: when the display size of the original display area of the first application icon is larger than the target unit size, for example: the original display area of the first application icon is 1 × 2, 2 × 1, or 2 × 2, which may be applied to the split body icon display mode.

When the original display area of the first application icon is 1 × 2, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area are two 1 × 1 display areas, and the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area are distributed laterally; when the original display area of the first application icon is 2 × 1, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area are two display areas of 1 × 1, and the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area are longitudinally distributed; in addition, when the display area of the first application icon is 2 × 2, the first sub display area and the second sub display area may be two vertically distributed 1 × 2 sub display areas, or the first sub display area and the second sub display area may be two horizontally distributed 2 × 1 sub display areas, which is not particularly limited herein.

Example two

And under the condition that the split icon display mode is the overlapped split icon display mode, overlapping and displaying the split icon and the updated first application icon.

In this embodiment, the first application icon and the avatar icon thereof are displayed in an overlapping manner, and in implementation, the first application icon or the avatar icon thereof can be operated by switching the icon at the uppermost layer.

In specific implementation, a user can only view and operate the icon displayed on the uppermost layer of the body-separating icon and the first application icon, and after the body-separating icon and the updated first application icon are overlapped and displayed, the first application icon can be displayed on the upper layer of the body-separating icon by default, and when the user needs to operate the body-separating icon, the display sequence of the first application icon and the body-separating icon can be switched through sixth input, so that the body-separating icon is displayed on the first application icon.

For example: as shown in fig. 4c to 4e, a social application icon 41 is displayed on the desktop, and the display size thereof is 2 × 2, when the user presses the social application icon 41 for a long time to display the first adjustment region 42 and select the overlapping split icon display mode 422 therefrom, that is, the fourth input includes the above-mentioned long press input for the social application icon 41 and the selection input for the overlapping split icon display mode 422; in response to the fourth input, the social application icon 411 is updated and displayed to display the page turning identifier 43 at the lower right corner of the updated social application icon 411, and the avatar icon 412 thereof is displayed at the lower layer of the social application icon 411, and when the user needs to operate the avatar icon 412, the avatar icon 412 can be displayed at the upper layer of the social application icon 411 by touching the page turning identifier 43 at the lower right corner of the social application icon 411, that is, the sixth input includes a touch input to the page turning identifier 43.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, the page turning identifier 43 may not be displayed in the lower right corner of the updated social application icon 411, and at this time, the sixth input may be a sliding input on the updated social application icon 411, for example: as shown in the drawing of fig. 4d, when the finger of the user slides from the right side of the social application icon 411 to the left side of the social application icon 411, in response to the slide input, the display layers of the social application icon 411 and the body split icon 412 are switched so that the body split icon 412 is displayed on the social application icon 411.

In this embodiment, the display sizes of the updated social application icon 411 and the avatar icon 412 are the same and equal to the display size of the social application icon 41 before updating, and the display layers of the updated social application icon 411 and the avatar icon 412 are switched to realize the circularly switchable display of the updated social application icon 411 and the avatar icon 412.

The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the second embodiment is applicable to application scenarios in which the original display size of the first application icon is 1 × 1, 1 × 2, 2 × 1, or 2 × 2, and the number of displayed icons on the desktop can be reduced.

EXAMPLE III

And under the condition that the split icon display mode is the connected split icon display mode, the split icon and the updated first application icon correspond to different touch areas of the same icon.

In a specific implementation, the above-mentioned body-splitting icon and the updated first application icon correspond to different touch areas of the same icon, which can be understood as follows: the original display area of the first application icon is divided into a first sub-touch area and a second sub-touch area, and when a user touches the first sub-touch area, the first sub-touch area is equivalent to the first application icon after the user touches the update, so that a first application program is started; when the user touches the second sub-touch area, the user touches the split icon, so that the split program of the first application program is started.

In addition, the updated first application icon has the same display size as the original first application icon, and the difference may be: and displaying the body-splitting identifier in the sub-touch area corresponding to the body-splitting icon on the updated first application icon.

For example: as shown in fig. 4f and 4g, a social application icon 41 is displayed on the desktop, and the display size of the social application icon 41 is 2 × 2, when the user presses the social application icon 41 for a long time to display the first adjustment area 42, and selects the connected body split icon display mode 423 from the social application icon 41, that is, the fourth input includes the above-mentioned long press input for the social application icon 41 and the selection input for the connected body split icon display mode 423; in response to the fourth input, the display area of the social application icon 41 is divided into a first sub-touch area 44 and a second sub-touch area 45 which are distributed laterally, and an avatar indicator 46 is displayed in the second sub-touch area 45, so that the first sub-touch area 44 and the second sub-touch area 45 are distinguished by the avatar indicator 46, and at this time, if the user touches the first sub-touch area 44, the first application program is opened; if the user touches the second sub-touch area 45, the split procedure of the first application program is opened.

The present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: in this embodiment, the updated first application icon and the updated body icon are multiplexed with the same application icon and respectively correspond to different touch areas of the same application icon, so that the number of icons displayed on the desktop can be reduced compared with the first embodiment.
