Application program startup method and electronic device

An electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises a processor and a memory, the memory stores at least one instruction, and the at least one instruction is loaded and executed by the processor to implement the following operations:

• acquiring an application display instruction, wherein the application display instruction is an instruction generated in responsive to activation of an application selection entry by an external object;
• controlling, according to the application display instruction, a display apparatus of an electronic device to display one or more application icons, wherein controlling, according to the application display instruction, the display apparatus of the electronic device to display the one or more application icons comprises:
• acquiring, according to the application display instruction, multiple application icons which are preset, and determining a usage frequency of an application program corresponding to each of the multiple application icons;
• determining an arrangement order of the multiple application icons according to the usage frequency;
• and controlling the display apparatus to display the multiple application icons according to the arrangement order, wherein before controlling the display apparatus to display the multiple application icons according to the arrangement order, the at least one instruction is loaded and executed by the processor to further implement the following operations:
• acquiring a preset default application icon, and controlling the display apparatus to display the default application icon on at least one of a position where the application selection entry is located and a position where an identity verification entry is located, wherein the default application icon is an application icon corresponding to an application program with highest usage frequency, or an application icon corresponding to an application program recently used by the external object, or an application icon set by an external object;
• acquiring an application selection instruction, wherein the application selection instruction indicates that a corresponding application icon is selected;
• and
• in a case where identity verification is passed, executing an unlocking operation and starting an application program corresponding to the selected application icon.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing at least one instruction, and the at least one instruction, when being loaded and executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement the following operations:

• acquiring an application display instruction, wherein the application display instruction is an instruction generated in responsive to activation of an application selection entry by an external object;
• controlling, according to the application display instruction, a display apparatus of an electronic device to display one or more application icons, wherein controlling, according to the application display instruction, the display apparatus of the electronic device to display the one or more application icons comprises:
• acquiring, according to the application display instruction, multiple application icons which are preset, and determining a usage frequency of an application program corresponding to each of the multiple application icons;
• determining an arrangement order of the multiple application icons according to the usage frequency;
• and controlling the display apparatus to display the multiple application icons according to the arrangement order, wherein before controlling the display apparatus to display the multiple application icons according to the arrangement order, the at least one instruction causes the processor to further implement the following operations:
• acquiring a preset default application icon, and controlling the display apparatus to display the default application icon on at least one of a position where the application selection entry is located and a position where an identity verification entry is located, wherein the default application icon is an application icon corresponding to an application program with highest usage frequency, or an application icon corresponding to an application program recently used by the external object, or an application icon set by an external object;
• acquiring an application selection instruction, wherein the application selection instruction indicates that a corresponding application icon is selected;
• and
• in a case where identity verification is passed, executing an unlocking operation and starting an application program corresponding to the selected application icon.
