Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for managing an icon on a user interface, and a touch-control device, and relates to the field of communications, so as to improve user experience. The method includes: receiving an icon-based state activation instruction through a screen of a touch-control device, so as to activate an icon to be in a movable state; receiving, by the touch-control device, a page switching instruction, and switching a currently displayed user interface page according to the page switching instruction, where the page switching instruction is a slide operation of a user that receives the screen of the touch-control device; and releasing the icon, so that the touch-control device moves the icon to a switched-to user interface page The embodiments of the present invention are used for managing an icon on a user interface.

Claims (38)

1 . A method for managing an icon on a user interface, comprising:

receiving an icon-based state activation instruction through a screen of a touch-control device, so as to activate an icon to be in a movable state;

receiving, by the touch-control device, a page switching instruction, and switching a currently displayed user interface page according to the page switching instruction, wherein the page switching instruction is a slide operation of a user that receives the screen of the touch-control device; and

releasing the icon, so that the touch-control device moves the icon to a switched-to user interface page.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the receiving an icon-based state activation instruction through a screen of a touch-control device, and before the receiving, by the touch-control device, a page switching instruction, the method comprises:

keeping the icon locked in the movable state.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the keeping the icon locked in the movable state comprises: keeping the icon locked in the movable state by using a touch operation, and the touch operation comprises a tap operation, a double-tap operation, or a touch-and-hold operation.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the releasing the icon comprises:

receiving an icon-based state release instruction through the screen of the touch-control device;

alternatively,

releasing the state activation instruction.

5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the releasing the icon comprises:

receiving an icon-based state release instruction through the screen of the touch-control device;

alternatively,

releasing the state activation instruction.

6 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the releasing the icon comprises:

receiving an icon-based state release instruction through the screen of the touch-control device;

alternatively,

releasing the state activation instruction.

7 . A touch-control device, comprising:

a touchscreen; and

a processor, wherein:

the touchscreen is configured to: when receiving an icon-based state activation instruction, send the state activation instruction to the processor; after receiving a page switching instruction, send the page switching instruction to the processor, and when the touchscreen detects that the icon is released, send a release instruction to the processor; and

the processor is configured to: activate an icon to be in a movable state after receiving the state activation instruction sent by the touchscreen; switch a currently displayed user interface page according to the page switching instruction sent by the touchscreen; receive the release instruction sent by the touchscreen when the touchscreen detects that the icon is released; and move the icon to a switched-to user interface page according to the release instruction.

8 . The device according to claim 7 , wherein the touchscreen is further configured to keep the icon locked in the movable state after receiving the icon-based state activation instruction and before receiving the page switching instruction.

9 . The device according to claim 8 , wherein the touchscreen is specifically configured to keep the icon locked in the movable state by using a touch operation, and the touch operation comprises a tap operation, a double-tap operation, or a touch-and-hold operation.

10 . The device according to claim 7 , wherein that the touchscreen sends the release instruction to the processor when detecting that the icon is released comprises:

the touchscreen receives an icon-based state release instruction, and sends the release instruction to the processor;

alternatively,

the touchscreen releases the state activation instruction, and sends the release instruction to the processor.

11 . The device according to claim 8 , wherein that the touchscreen sends the release instruction to the processor when detecting that the icon is released comprises:

the touchscreen receives an icon-based state release instruction, and sends the release instruction to the processor;

alternatively,

the touchscreen releases the state activation instruction, and sends the release instruction to the processor.

12 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein that the touchscreen sends the release instruction to the processor when detecting that the icon is released comprises:

the touchscreen receives an icon-based state release instruction, and sends the release instruction to the processor;

alternatively,

the touchscreen releases the state activation instruction, and sends the release instruction to the processor.
