20170153793
This application claims priority of the Chinese Patent Application No. 201510857523.2, filed on Nov. 30, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure generally relates to the field of terminal technology, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for application icon management for a terminal.
Currently, many smart terminals have built-in camera flash devices that can also be used as flashlights. Such flashlights are fairly convenient for terminal users, especially in dark environments. Additionally, a theme interface for a terminal operating system may have shortcut icons provided on its lock screen for quickly launching corresponding functions, such as a dialing function. However, the shortcut icons on the lock screen are fixed and cannot be changed at will.
Some terminal operating systems themselves contain flashlight applications. When the flashlight application is launched, the camera flash device is turned on. Moreover, advanced setting is applied, such as a shortcut button is set so that the flashlight function can be turned on conveniently.
Typically, a user needs to use the flashlight in urgent situations. However, as an infrequently used application, the flashlight application is often buried in piles of applications and cannot be easily found. Therefore, the problem is that it is difficult to find the flashlight application in urgent situations. Although the flashlight may be turned on quickly by setting a shortcut for the flashlight application, not everyone knows the shortcut (few users read the manual completely) and not everybody can keep it in mind.
Aspects of the disclosure include a method for application icon management. The method includes detecting, by a sensor, position or motion status of a terminal when the terminal is in a lock screen state; determining whether the position or motion status of the terminal in the lock screen state satisfies a preset status criterion; and lighting up a designated application icon on a lock screen interface of the terminal, when the position or motion status satisfies the preset status criterion.
In an embodiment, In an embodiment, lighting up the designated application icon on the lock screen interface of the terminal includes: obtaining current environment parameter information of an environment in which the terminal is located; and lighting up the designated application icon on the lock screen interface of the terminal, when the current environment parameter information satisfies a preset environment parameter criterion.
In an embodiment, the current environment parameter information comprises at least illumination intensity information and information regarding a distance between the terminal and an obstruction. In an embodiment, lighting up the designated application icon on the lock screen interface of the terminal, when the current environment parameter information satisfies the preset environment parameter criterion, includes, when a current distance between the terminal and the obstruction is greater than or equal to a preset distance and a current illumination intensity is lower than a preset illumination intensity, lighting up a flashlight application icon on the lock screen interface of the terminal.
In an embodiment, lighting up the designated application icon on the lock screen interface of the terminal, when the position or motion status satisfies the preset status criterion, includes, when a detected moving speed of the terminal in the lock screen state is greater than or equal to a preset moving speed, a detected moving acceleration of the terminal in the lock screen state is greater than or equal to a preset moving acceleration, a detected moving frequency of the terminal in the lock screen state is greater than or equal to a preset moving frequency, or a detected moving trajectory of the terminal in the lock screen state is consistent with a preset moving trajectory, lighting up the designated application icon on the lock screen interface of the terminal.
In an embodiment, when a number of received touches on the designated application icon is greater than or equal to a preset touch number or a frequency of the touches is greater than or equal to a preset touch frequency, launching the designated application.
In an embodiment, when the designated application icon is not lighted up, the designated application icon is in a hidden state on the lock screen interface of the terminal.

The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the present disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure.
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects related to the present disclosure.
An embodiment of disclosure provides a method for application icon management, which may be used in a terminal device. As shown in
In step S101, position or motion status of a terminal when the terminal is in a lock screen state is detected by a sensor. In some examples, the position or motion status may include a status as whether the terminal is being shaken or whether the terminal is being tapped, etc.
In step S102, it is determined whether the position or motion status of the terminal in the lock screen state satisfies a preset status criterion. In some examples, the preset status criterion may include one or more conditions.
In step S103, when the position or motion status satisfies the preset status criterion, a designated application icon is lighted up on a lock screen interface of the terminal. The designated application icon may be an application icon set by the user or preset by the manufacturer on the terminal lock screen interface.
In this embodiment, the position or motion status of the terminal in the lock screen state can be detected by the sensor, and the designated application icon can be lighted up on the lock screen interface of the terminal when the position or motion status satisfies the preset status criterion. As such, a user's needs are determined according to the position or motion status of the terminal, and the needed application is automatically provided on the lock screen interface for the user. Accordingly, the user does not have to be bothered to look for the application and the operation process is simplified, so that the application on the terminal can be utilized more conveniently, easily and rapidly and user experience is improved.
In an embodiment, when the designated application icon is not lighted up, the designated application icon may be displayed or hidden (e.g., in a hidden state).
In the embodiment, when the designated application icon is not lighted up, it may exist on the lock screen interface of the terminal but is hidden (that is, the application icon is invisible to the user), even if the lock screen interface is lighted up by an operation of the user. Only when the position or motion status of the terminal satisfies a preset status criterion, the designated application icon that was hidden is displayed (e.g., being lighted up), so as to facilitate the user's use of the designated application. In some embodiments, when the designated application icon is not lighted up, it may still be associated with but not yet created as a graphic object for the lock screen interface of the terminal.
As shown in
In step S201, current environment parameter information of an environment in which the terminal is located is obtained.
In step S202, when the current environment parameter information satisfies a preset environment parameter criterion, the designated application icon is lighted up on the lock screen interface of the terminal. In some examples, the preset environment parameter criterion may include one or more conditions.
In this embodiment, the current environment parameter information of the environment in which the terminal is located may be obtained, and it is determined based on the environment parameter whether to light up the designated application icon. Specifically, when the current environment parameter information satisfies the preset environment parameter criterion, the designated application icon is lighted up.
In an embodiment, the current environment parameter information comprises at least illumination intensity information and information regarding a distance between the terminal and an obstruction.
In this embodiment, the illumination intensity information and the information on the distance between the terminal and the obstruction may be used to determine whether the current environment parameter information satisfies the preset environment parameter criterion. When the preset environment parameter criterion is satisfied, the designated application icon is lighted up.
As shown in
In step S301, when the current distance between the terminal and the obstruction is greater than or equal to a preset distance and the current illumination intensity is lower than a preset illumination intensity, the designated application icon is lighted up on the lock screen interface of the terminal.
In this embodiment, when the current distance between the terminal and the obstruction is greater than or equal to the preset distance (i.e. there is no obstruction around the terminal to block light) and the current illumination intensity is lower than the preset illumination intensity (i.e. the brightness around the terminal is rather low), it indicates that the user may need to activate the flashlight function. Then, the flashlight application icon that is hidden on the lock screen interface may be lighted up, so as to make it convenient for the user to turn on the flashlight.
In the above embodiment, the flashlight application is taken as an example. It would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the designated application icon may also be another application icon for activating or operating a different application, such as a phone application icon, a message application icon, etc. Accordingly, the current environment parameter information may also be some other information, such as ambient noise information, temperature information, humidity information, etc.
As shown in
In step S401, when a detected moving speed of the terminal in the lock screen state is greater than or equal to a preset moving speed, a detected moving acceleration of the terminal in the lock screen state is greater than or equal to a preset moving acceleration, a detected moving frequency of the terminal in the lock screen state is greater than or equal to a preset moving frequency, and/or a detected moving trajectory of the terminal in the lock screen state is consistent with a preset moving trajectory, the designated application icon is lighted up on the lock screen interface of the terminal.
In this embodiment, the preset status may comprise at least one of: the moving speed of the terminal in the lock screen state being greater than or equal to the preset moving speed, the moving acceleration being greater than or equal to the preset moving acceleration, the moving frequency being greater than or equal to the preset moving frequency, and/or the moving trajectory meeting the preset moving trajectory. For example, when a user rapidly and continuously shakes his terminal, its moving speed, moving acceleration, and moving frequency are greater than respective preset values, and the designated application may be lighted up on the lock screen interface. Alternatively, the preset moving speed may be set as 50 cm/s, and the designated application may be lighted up on the lock screen interface of the terminal when the moving speed exceeds 50 cm/s. Alternatively, the user or the manufacturer may preset a moving trajectory for the terminal, such as a circle, and the designated application may also be lighted up on the lock screen interface when the user draws a circle in the air by moving the terminal. Alternatively, the designated application may be lighted up on the lock screen interface when the user consecutively taps on the screen of the terminal. As such, the terminal can determine a user's needs according to the moving status and automatically provide the needed application on the lock screen interface for the user. Accordingly, the user does not have to be bothered to look for the application and the operation process is simplified, so that the application on the terminal can be utilized more conveniently, easily and rapidly and user experience is improved.
As shown in
In step S501, when a number of received touches on the designated application icon is greater than or equal to a preset touch number and/or a frequency of the touches is greater than or equal to a preset touch frequency, the designated application is launched.
In this embodiment, when the number of received touches by the user on the designated application icon is greater than or equal to the preset touch number, the designated application may be launched. For example, the preset touch number may be set as 2, so that when the user double taps the designated application icon, the designated application may be launched. Alternatively, when the frequency of touches by the user on the designated application icon is greater than the preset touch frequency, such as 2 times per second, the designated application may be launched. Of course, these two conditions may be applied in combination, that is, when the number of received touches on the designated application icon is greater than or equal to the preset touch number and the frequency of the touches is greater than or equal to the preset touch frequency, the designated application may be launched. In this manner, the chances of misoperation by the user can be minimized.
In the following, embodiments of apparatus according to the disclosure that can perform the methods described above will be described.
The detecting module 61 is configured to detect position or motion status of a terminal by a sensor when the terminal is in a lock screen state. The position or motion status may include a status as whether the terminal is being shaken or whether the terminal is being tapped, etc.
The determining module 62 is configured to determine whether the position or motion status of the terminal in the lock screen state, which is detected by the detecting module 61, satisfies a preset status criterion.

In this embodiment, the position or motion status of the terminal in the lock screen state can be detected by the sensor, and the designated application icon can be lighted up on the lock screen interface of the terminal when the position or motion status satisfies the preset status criterion. As such, a user's needs are determined according to terminal position or motion status and the needed application is automatically provided on the lock screen interface for the user. Accordingly, the user does not have to be bothered to look for the application and the operation process is simplified, so that the application on the terminal can be utilized more conveniently, easily and rapidly and user experience is improved.
In an embodiment, when the designated application icon is not lighted up, the designated application icon is in a hidden state on the lock screen interface of the terminal.
In the embodiment, when the designated application icon is not lighted up, it exists on the lock screen interface of the terminal but is hidden, that is, the application icon is invisible to the user. Only when the position or motion status of the terminal satisfies a preset status criterion, the designated application icon that was hidden is displayed (e.g., being lighted up), so as to facilitate the user's use of the designated application. In some embodiments, when the designated application icon is not lighted up, it is associated with but not yet created as a graphic object for the lock screen interface of the terminal.
