An icon that can hold multiple applications on the desktop and can hold one or more folders. A folder is a control for holding multiple application icons, and one or more application icons are included in the page displayed after the folder is opened. Folders can be automatically generated by the operating system. For example, the operating system can place icons for commonly used tools provided by the operating system in the "Common Tools" folder. Folders can also be created by the user as needed.

The embodiment of the present application provides a convenient switching scheme between folders for folders on the desktop.

In order to facilitate the convenient switching between different folders, in the embodiment of the present application, the folder is regarded as a continuously arranged object in space, and all the folders on the desktop are consecutively arranged in a certain order to form a folder adjacent to each other. Relationship, when the folder is switched, the target folder or the target folder page can be determined according to the folder neighbor relationship. The folder adjacency relationship provided by the embodiment of the present application may mainly include the following:

First Neighbor Relationship: describes the relationship between a folder and a folder page in two dimensions. A folder arranged in order on one dimension, and a folder having a plurality of pages, in the second dimension, all the pages in the folder arranged in order. Wherein, the first dimension may be a vertical dimension, and the second dimension may be a horizontal dimension, and vice versa.

Figure 1a shows an example of a first adjacency relationship. The desktop includes folder A, folder B, and folder C, wherein folder A and folder C each have only one page, and folder B has two pages, which are represented as "folder B-1" and " Folder B-2", "Folder B-1" is the first page. In the arrangement scheme, the vertical dimension sequentially arranges the folder A, the folder B, and the folder C, and in the horizontal dimension of the folder B, two pages of the folder B are sequentially arranged ("folder B-1" and "Folder B-2"). Alternatively, in the vertical dimension, folder A and folder C may also be adjacent to form a closed neighbor relationship.

The foregoing first neighbor relationship may be described and stored in the form of a list or a linked list or an array. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the data storage form of the adjacent relationship. For the folder provided by the operating system, the embodiment of the present application may arrange the folders in the first adjacent relationship manner according to a preset rule. When the user creates a new folder, the embodiment of the present application can create a folder according to the request of the user to create a folder, and add related information of the newly created folder (such as the identifier of the folder) to the first adjacent relationship. in. Still taking Figure 1a as an example, if the user newly created folder D, and folder D includes two pages ("folder D-1" and "folder D-2"), and the first page is "folder" D-1", the adjacent relationship shown in FIG. 1a is updated as shown in FIG. 1b, the folder D is added in the vertical dimension, and the two folders D are sequentially arranged in the horizontal dimension of the folder D. Page ("Folder D-1" and "Folder D-2"). When the user deletes the folder, the embodiment of the present application may delete the folder according to the request for deleting the folder, and delete related information of the deleted folder (such as the identifier of the folder) from the first adjacent relationship. For example, if the user deletes the folder D, the folder adjacent relationship is restored to the structure shown in FIG. 1a.

Second Neighbor Relationship: Describes the relationship between a folder and a folder page in one dimension. In this dimension, the pages of all folders are arranged in order. Among them, all the pages of the same folder are arranged consecutively.

Fig. 2a exemplarily shows an example of a second adjacency relationship. The desktop includes folder A, folder B, and folder C, wherein folder A and folder C each have only one page, and folder B has two pages, which are represented as "folder B-1" and " Folder B-2", "Folder B-1" is the first page. In the adjacent relationship, the first page (folder B-1) of the folder A, the folder B, the last page of the folder B (the folder B-2), and the folder C are sequentially arranged in one dimension. Alternatively, in this dimension, the pages of folder A and the pages of folder C may also be adjacent to form a closed neighbor relationship.

The foregoing second neighboring relationship may be described and stored in the form of a list or a linked list or an array. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the data storage form of the adjacent relationship. For the folder provided by the operating system, the embodiment of the present application may arrange the folders in the second adjacent relationship according to a preset rule. When a user creates a new folder, the embodiment of the present application may create a folder according to a request for a user to create a folder, and add related information (such as a page identifier) of the newly created folder to the second adjacent relationship. in. Still taking Figure 2a as an example, if the user newly created folder D, and folder D includes two pages ("folder D-1" and "folder D-2"), and the first page is "folder" D-1", the adjacent relationship shown in Fig. 2a is updated as shown in Fig. 2b, and two pages of the folder D are added in the horizontal dimension ("folder D-1" and "folder D-2" ). When the user deletes the folder, the embodiment of the present application may delete the folder according to the request for deleting the folder, and delete related information (such as the identifier of the page) of the deleted folder from the second arrangement. For example, if the user deletes the folder B, the folder adjacency is updated to the structure shown in FIG. 2c.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the first page of the first folder is currently displayed, if the folder switching request is received, the target page of the target folder may be determined according to the file switching request, and the target folder is displayed. Goal page. Wherein, when determining the target page of the target folder, the target page of the target folder may be determined according to the switching direction requested by the file switching request and the position of the first page of the first folder in the folder adjacent relationship.

The folder switching request may be a request generated according to a touch gesture. The gesture direction of the touch gesture is used to determine a target folder. Optionally, the touch gesture may include, but is not limited to, a swipe gesture. The folder switching request may also be a request generated according to other user interaction behaviors, and will not be enumerated here.

The above process can be performed by the folder switching device. FIG. 3 exemplarily shows a schematic structural diagram of a folder switching apparatus provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown, the apparatus can include a display module 301 and a determination module 302. The display module 301 can be used to display the first page of the first folder; the determining module 302 can be configured to receive the folder switching request, and determine the target page of the target folder according to the file switching request; the display module 301 can also be used to display the determining module. 302 The target page of the target folder determined. The device is only an example, and the device for implementing the folder switching method provided by the embodiment of the present application may be included in the protection scope of the present application.

Optionally, a folder processing module 303 is further included in the folder switching device. The folder processing module 303 is operable to create a folder according to a request to create a folder, and add information of the newly created folder to the folder adjacency relationship; and delete the folder according to the request to delete the folder, and The information of the deleted folder is deleted from the folder adjacent relationship.

In some embodiments, the apparatus shown in FIG. 3 can be implemented in software. In other examples, the apparatus shown in FIG. 3 can also be implemented by a combination of software and hardware. The device may be an application or service provided by an operating system, or may be a third-party application.

FIG. 4 exemplarily shows an operating system architecture of an electronic device in which only the components related to the embodiments of the present application are shown. As shown in the figure, in the architecture of the system, the application framework layer may include a “folder switching device”, and the device may be embodied as a system service, and the folder switching function provided by the embodiment of the present application may be implemented. A structure of the device can be as shown in FIG. The application framework layer may also include system services such as Input Management Service (Input Manager Service) and Windows Manager Service (not shown in the figure). The input management service reads a device event (such as a touch event) from an input device driver (the lower device driver), performs processing, and generates a request to be sent to the "folder switching device". The "folder switching device" performs the process of folder switching in the manner described in the above embodiment. For example, the folder switching request generated according to the acquired screen swipe gesture event includes screen swipe gesture direction information, so that the folder switching device determines the switching direction according to the gesture direction, thereby determining the target folder or the target page.

FIG. 5 exemplarily shows a schematic diagram of a folder switching process provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown, in S501, the first page of the first folder is currently displayed. In S502, in this case, if a folder switching request is received, the target page of the target folder may be determined according to the file switching request. The folder switching request may include a request generated according to a touch gesture, and the gesture direction of the touch gesture is used to determine a target folder. In S503, the target page of the target folder is displayed. For example, the folder switching request is based on a request generated by a touch gesture. When determining a target page of the target folder, the gesture direction according to the touch gesture and the first page of the first folder may be in the folder phase. The location in the neighbor relationship determines the target page of the target folder. The above S501 and S503 can be performed by the display module 301 in the folder switching device provided above, and the above S502 can be executed by the determining module 302 in the folder switching device provided above.

During the folder switching process, the determination of the target page of the target folder or the target folder is related to user interaction behavior (such as touch gestures) and folder adjacency.

For example, the folder switching request is a request generated according to a touch gesture, and the adjacent relationship of the folder is represented by the first neighbor relationship, and the gesture direction of the touch gesture is the same as the first neighbor relationship. Corresponding to one dimension, the target folder is determined in the first dimension according to the position of the currently displayed first folder in the first adjacent relationship, and the target page in the target folder is determined. Alternatively, the first page of the target folder may be determined as the target page, or the page that was last displayed in the target folder may be determined as the target page. If the first page currently displayed is one of the plurality of pages included in the first folder, and the switching direction requested by the file switching request corresponds to the second dimension in the first adjacent relationship, according to the first file The location of the first page of the folder in the first adjacent relationship determines the target page in the first folder in the second dimension of the first folder.

As an example, in a case where the gesture direction of the touch gesture corresponds to the first dimension in the first adjacent relationship: if the gesture direction of the touch gesture is the first direction in the first dimension, the first folder is in the first An adjacent folder in a first direction of a dimension determines a target folder; if a gesture direction of the touch gesture is a second direction in the first dimension, the first folder is in a second direction of the first dimension The adjacent folder determines the target folder.

As another example, in a case where the first page is one of a plurality of pages included in the first folder, and the gesture direction of the touch gesture corresponds to the second dimension in the first adjacent relationship: The gesture direction of the touch gesture is the first direction in the second dimension, and the adjacent page of the first page of the first folder in the first direction of the second dimension is determined as the target page; if the gesture direction of the touch gesture is The second direction on the second dimension determines the adjacent page of the first page of the first folder in the second direction of the second dimension as the target page.

For example, the folder switching request is a request generated according to a touch gesture, and the adjacent relationship of the folder is represented by the second adjacent relationship. If the gesture direction of the touch gesture is the first direction, the current The adjacent page of the first page of the first folder displayed in the first direction is determined as the target page of the target folder; if the gesture direction of the touch gesture is the second direction, the first folder currently displayed The adjacent page of the first page in the second direction is determined as the target page of the target folder. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

The "direction of the requested switching of the folder switching request" described in the above process refers to requesting to switch to the next folder or the next page, or requesting to switch to the previous folder or the previous page. According to the first adjacent relationship described in the foregoing embodiment, one folder can be adjacent to two folders, and one adjacent folder can be referred to as a first adjacent folder according to a set direction. (such as a folder), another adjacent folder is called the second adjacent folder (the following folder); for a folder containing multiple pages, one of the pages can be adjacent to the two pages, according to The direction of the setting may be one of the adjacent pages of the first adjacent page (such as one page), and the other adjacent page is referred to as the second adjacent page (such as the following page). According to the second adjacent relationship described in the foregoing embodiment, one page can be adjacent to two pages, and one adjacent page can be referred to as a first adjacent page according to a set direction, and the other phase is The adjacent page is called the second adjacent page.

In one example, taking the touch gesture of the sliding operation as an example, if the first adjacent relationship is used to arrange the folders, it may be specified that the upward sliding indicates that the request is switched to the next folder of the currently displayed folder, and the downward sliding indicates Request to switch to the previous folder of the currently displayed folder; if the currently displayed folder contains multiple pages, swipe left to switch to the next page of the current page in the currently displayed folder, swipe to the right to indicate switching Go to the previous page of the current page in the currently displayed folder.

In another example, still taking the touch gesture of the sliding operation as an example, if the folder is arranged by the aforementioned second adjacent relationship, sliding to the left indicates that the request to switch to the next folder of the currently displayed folder (if currently displayed) The folder has only one page or currently shows the last page in a folder) or the next page of the currently displayed folder page (if the currently displayed folder has multiple pages and the currently displayed page is not the last page) Sliding to the right indicates that the request to switch to the previous folder of the currently displayed folder (if the currently displayed folder has only one page or the current page is the first page in a folder) or on the currently displayed folder page One page (if the currently displayed folder has multiple pages and the currently displayed page is not the first page).

Among them, "previous" and "next" respectively correspond to two opposite switching directions. Taking the folder adjacent relationship shown in FIG. 1a as an example, if the current page displays the first page B-1 of the folder B, the downward scrolling of the "previous" folder to which the request is switched is the folder A. , swipe up the "next" folder of the requested switch to folder C, and swipe to the right to switch to the "next" page as the tail page B-2 of folder B. For example, still taking the folder adjacent relationship shown in FIG. 1a as an example, if the current desktop displays the tail page B-2 of the folder B, the leftward sliding of the requested "next" page is The first page B-1 of folder B, if you slide down, you can switch to the "previous" folder A, and slide down to switch to the "next" folder C. In another example, based on the folder adjacency relationship shown in FIG. 1a, in the case where the current desktop is displayed on the current page B-2 of the folder B, the folder is not triggered when sliding down and sliding up. Switching. Take the folder arrangement architecture shown in Figure 2a as an example. If the current page displays the first page B-1 of folder B, slide to the right to switch to the "previous" folder A, and swipe to the right to switch. Go to the "Next" page B-2.

In some embodiments of the present application, in order to let the user know the adjacent folder of the folder displayed by the current desktop (such as the previous folder and/or the next folder), the first phase may be included in the page of the folder. Neighbor folder prompt information and/or second adjacent folder prompt information. The first adjacent folder prompt information is used to prompt a first adjacent folder or a folder page of the currently displayed first folder, and the second adjacent folder prompt information is used to prompt the currently displayed The second adjacent folder or folder page of the first folder. In some examples, the prompt information may be information in the form of text, a picture, a symbol, or the like. For example, the first adjacent relationship is taken as an example, and the first neighbor is displayed on the first page B-1 of the folder B.
