application example 1

[0094] This example is described by taking the implementation of managing icons on the standby screen on a mobile phone as an example. In this example, the standby interface of the mobile phone includes two display areas: a setting display area and a dynamic display area.

[0095] Such as image 3 As shown in , the setting display area is located directly below the standby interface, and can display 4 application icons. It is used to display the icons of the most commonly used applications in the mobile phone. The user has set the following icons to be displayed in the setting application icon display area: main menu application icon, phone application icon, SMS application icon and contact application icon. The dynamic display area is located on the left side of the standby interface, and can display 6 application icons. The dynamic display area is used to display icons corresponding to applications most frequently used by the user that are not displayed in the set display ...

application example 2

[0108] This example uses the implementation of managing icons on the standby screen on a tablet computer as an example for illustration. In this example, the standby interface of the tablet computer includes two display areas: a setting display area and a dynamic display area, wherein the dynamic display area further includes a dynamic file icon display area and a dynamic software icon display area.

[0109] Such as Figure 5 As shown, the dynamic file icon display area is located on the left side of the standby interface, and can display the icons and file names of 6 recently opened files. The types of these files may include any one or any combination of music, video, documents or pictures. The dynamic software icon display area is located below the standby interface, and can display icons corresponding to 12 applications. The dynamic software icon display area is used to display icons corresponding to the most frequently used software by users that are not displayed in the...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for managing icons on a standby interface of a mobile terminal and the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal comprises an application monitoring device, an icon judging device and an icon adding device; and the method is applied to the mobile terminal provided with the standby interface, and a part of area of the standby interface is defined as a dynamic display area of the icons. The method comprises the following steps of: judging whether the standby interface is provided with an icon corresponding to the application by the mobile terminal after monitoring that some one local application is used; and if not, adding the icon corresponding to the application to a spare area of the dynamic display area. By the application of the invention, the mobile terminal can automatically display icons of application programs or files most commonly used by users in the standby interface so as to directly reduce the average number of steps for the users to access the application of the mobile terminal; and according to the estimation, the average number of steps to access the application of the mobile terminal can be reduced to about 1.2 by utilizing the method, and then the usability of the mobile terminal is greatly strengthened.
