Display method when application is exited and terminal

A terminal, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• an input device;
• and
• a display;
• wherein the memory, the input device, and the display are coupled to the one or more processors, the memory is configured to store program instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, at the input device, a keyword entered by a user into a search bar on a first display screen on the terminal,
• displaying a search result associated with the keyword on the first display screen of the display, wherein the search result includes a first icon of an application, wherein the application is located on a second display screen on the terminal, wherein the second display screen is one of a plurality of sub-screens of a home screen of the terminal,
• receiving a first operation on the first icon of the application from the user for starting the application from the search result,
• starting the application on an application screen in response to the first operation on the first icon of the application displayed on the first display screen,
• receiving a second operation from the user for exiting the application that is running on the application screen on the first display screen,
• obtaining a location of the application on the second display screen in response to the second operation;
• scaling down the application screen on the first display screen to a second icon of the application on the second display screen using the location of the application as a scale center, wherein the scaling down of the application screen includes sequentially displays each of a plurality of image frames of the application screen with a decreasing size until the application screen disappears into the second icon of the application on the second display screen, and
• highlighting, by the terminal, the second icon of the application on the second display screen with one or more features.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, by a terminal, a keyword entered by a user into a search bar on a first display screen on the terminal;
• displaying, by the terminal, a search result associated with the keyword on the first display screen on the terminal, wherein the search result includes a first icon of an application, wherein the application is located on a second display screen on the terminal, wherein the second display screen is one of a plurality of sub-screens of a home screen of the terminal;
• receiving, by the terminal, a first operation on the first icon of the application from the user for starting the application from the search result;
• starting, by the terminal, the application on an application screen in response to the first operation on the first icon of the application displayed on the first display screen;
• receiving, by the terminal, a second operation from the user for exiting the application that is running on the application screen on the first display screen;
• obtaining, by the terminal, a location of the application on the second display screen in response to the second operation;
• scaling down, by the terminal, the application screen from the first display screen to a second icon of the application on the second display screen using the location of the application as a scale center, wherein the scaling down of the application screen includes sequentially displays each of a plurality of image frames of the application screen with a decreasing size until the application screen disappears into the second icon of the application on the second display screen;
• and
• highlighting, by the terminal, the second icon of the application on the second display screen with one or more features.
