Desktop generation and operation methods for mobile terminal and corresponding devices thereof

A desktop generation apparatus for a mobile terminal, comprising a processor and a non-transitory storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

• create a block class object, wherein the block class object comprises attribute information;
• draw a plurality of blocks by calling a drawing function based on the attribute information of the block class object, wherein the plurality of blocks are distributed on a whole screen of the mobile terminal without overlap to form a desktop, the plurality of blocks including at least one block that is an idle block, on which no shortcut for an application program is currently presented;
• and
• present, in a first block that has been an idle block on the desktop, a shortcut icon and/or program name of a shortcut for an application program in a case that the shortcut for the application program is required to be presented on the desktop, wherein the application program is associated with the first block and wherein the shortcut icon and/or program name is a different shape and/or size than the first block such that it is not co-extensive with the first block, a location of the first block being a trigger region such that a user click on the first block is detected as a trigger to perform an operation on the application program.

A desktop operation apparatus for a mobile terminal, comprising a processor and a non-transitory storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

• perform an action in a predetermined action manner to present a plurality of desktops generated on a screen of the mobile terminal, wherein each of the plurality of desktop comprises a plurality of blocks distributed on a whole screen of the mobile terminal without overlap, the plurality of blocks including at least one block that is an idle block, on which no shortcut for an application program is currently presented, wherein a shortcut icon and/or program name of a shortcut for an application program is presented in a first block that has been an idle block on the desktop in a case that the shortcut for the application program is required to be presented on the desktop, and wherein the application program is associated with the first block;
• receive an operation message taking the desktop or a block comprised in the desktop as an operation object;
• and
• perform a corresponding operation on the operation object based on a type of the operation message.
