Abstract
Example application program search methods and a terminal are described. In one example method, when a first folder is triggered, a second folder or an icon of a first application program, or a second folder and an icon of a first application program, and an icon of an application program included in the first folder are displayed on a same display interface. It can be ensured that another folder or application program is additionally displayed when the icon of the application program included in the first folder is displayed.
Claims21
An application program search method, the method comprising:
- displaying a first folder on a first display interface;
- and
- in response to determining that the first folder is triggered, switching from the first display interface to a second display interface, wherein:
- an icon of an application program comprised in the first folder and a second folder are displayed on the second display interface, or
- an icon of an application program comprised in the first folder and an icon of a first application program are displayed on the second display interface, or
- an icon of an application program comprised in the first folder, a second folder, and an icon of a first application program are displayed on the second display interface, wherein the first application program is any application program not comprised in the first folder.
The method according to 7, wherein a manner of determining whether the first folder is associated with any folder or application program or associated with any folder and application program comprises:
- searching a prestored chart;
- determining whether a weighted value between the first folder and any folder or application program or folder and application program in the chart is less than a threshold;
- and
- in response to determining that a weighted value between the first folder and a folder or an application program in the chart is less than the threshold, using the folder or the application program whose weighted value with the first folder is less than the threshold in the chart as a folder or an application program associated with the first folder;
- or
- in response to determining that a weighted value between the first folder and none of folders or application programs in the chart is less than the threshold, determining that the first folder is not associated with any folder or application program.
A terminal, the terminal comprising:
- a display screen, configured to display a display interface;
- a memory, configured to store an instruction;
- and
- at least one processor, configured to implement the following functions by executing the instruction in the memory:
- displaying a first folder on a first display interface displayed on the display screen;
- and
- in response to determining that the first folder is triggered, switching from the first display interface displayed on the display screen to a second display interface, wherein:
- an icon of an application program comprised in the first folder and a second folder are displayed on the second display interface, or
- an icon of an application program comprised in the first folder and an icon of a first application are displayed on the second display interface, or
- an icon of an application program comprised in the first folder, a second folder, and a first application program are displayed on the second display interface, wherein the first application program is any application program not comprised in the first folder.
20-22. (canceled)
A computer readable storage medium, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause a data processing apparatus to:
- display a first folder on a first display interface;
- and
- in response to determining that the first folder is triggered, switch from the first display interface to a second display interface, wherein:
- an icon of an application program comprised in the first folder and a second folder are displayed on the second display interface, or
- an icon of an application program comprised in the first folder and an icon of a first application program are displayed on the second display interface, or
- an icon of an application program comprised in the first folder, a second folder, and an icon of a first application program are displayed on the second display interface, wherein the first application program is any application program not comprised in the first folder.
