Description

A project display method and terminal

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a project display method and terminal.

Background technique

In the process of using mobile phones, users pay more and more attention to the protection of personal information, especially private information. Currently, for example, safe cabinets can be used to protect users' private information.

As shown in Figure 1, the user first finds the "File Management" application icon from the terminal's home screen interface, and clicks the "File Management" application icon to enter the file management interface. Select and click the control corresponding to "Safe Cabinet" to enter the safe cabinet interface. In the safe interface, the user needs to enter the password first. After the password verification is passed, the mobile phone will display the files in the safe. For example: Control 201 displays that there are 0 pictures in the safe. Further, the user clicks the "Move" control 202, clicks the "Picture" file type on the "Select File Type" menu 203, and selects the corresponding album, then selects one or more pictures in the album, and clicks "OK" " button. At this point, the selected pictures are moved from the Gallery app to the Safe app. In the interface shown in (8) in Figure 1, control 204 displays that there are two pictures in the safe. In this way, when the user browses photos from the gallery, the images moved to the safe will no longer be displayed in the gallery. From the user's perspective, these images have been hidden. If users need to view these pictures, they need to view them from the safe in file management.

It can be seen that the operation process for users to hide pictures in the terminal is relatively cumbersome, the terminal usage efficiency is low, and the user experience is poor.

Detailed ways

Hereinafter, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

There is usually a scenario where the user is using the terminal to browse certain types of files (for example, photos in the gallery, or videos in the video folder, etc.) and may need to hide some of the files. Then, the user needs to exit the current application first. Then, find the "File Management" application from the terminal's home screen interface, and then go through a series of complex operations, as shown in Figure 1, to hide these files.

It should be noted that when users hide these files, they need to perform user authentication to achieve the hiding function. This is because if the user's identity is not restricted during the process of hiding files, that is, any user has the authority to hide files. However, the user's identity needs to be verified when subsequently viewing these files, that is, only specific users have the right to view these hidden files. In other words, the user who hides the file may be different from the user who views the file, so the privacy and security of the file cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, when a user hides a file, the user's identity also needs to be verified.

In order to simplify the user's operation, an item display method provided by the embodiment of the present application combines the characteristics of the fingerprint being located on the user's finger. During the process of the user inputting the fingerprint, the terminal can collect the user's fingerprint information, and the terminal can Recognize user gestures. Therefore, the user's operation of inputting a fingerprint can not only cause the terminal to read the user's fingerprint information for user identity verification, but also instruct the terminal to hide items in the selected application. It can be seen that the method provided by the embodiment of the present application simplifies the user's operation, improves the interaction efficiency between the user and the terminal, and enhances the user experience.

The items in the above applications can be folders (for example: folders in the "File Management" application), files in folders (for example: video files in the video folder, picture files in the picture folder), files in the application Certain types of information (for example: itinerary cards in the "Situational Intelligence" application), certain information in the application (for example: one or some text messages in the "SMS" application, one or more text messages in the "Contacts" application contact information of certain people), the application icon corresponding to the application (the application icon in the home screen interface), etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the items in the application.

The above hiding is from the user's perspective. These hidden items will no longer be displayed in the application to which they originally belong. For example: after hiding the picture files (or video files) in the "Gallery" application, the "Gallery" application will no longer display these hidden picture files (or video files).

The method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a terminal with fingerprint recognition. The fingerprint collection device can be configured in the touch screen of the terminal to realize the fingerprint recognition function, that is, the fingerprint collection device can be integrated with the touch screen to realize the fingerprint recognition function of the terminal.

It can be understood that the touch screen 104 is made of multiple layers of materials stacked, which will not be described in detail in the embodiment of this application. In addition, the touch panel 104-1 can be configured in the form of a full panel on the front of the mobile phone 100, and the display 104-2 can also be configured in the form of a full panel on the front of the mobile phone 100, so that the front of the mobile phone can be borderless. structure, such as a full-screen mobile phone.

In addition, the mobile phone 100 may also have a fingerprint recognition function. For example, the fingerprint reader 112 may be configured on the back of the mobile phone 100 (eg, below the rear camera), or the fingerprint reader 112 may be configured on the front of the mobile phone 100 (eg, below the touch screen 104 ). For another example, the fingerprint collection device 112 can be configured in the touch screen 104 to implement the fingerprint recognition function, that is, the fingerprint collection device 112 can be integrated with the touch screen 104 to implement the fingerprint recognition function of the mobile phone 100 . In this case, the fingerprint collection device 112 is configured in the touch screen 104, may be a part of the touch screen 104, or may be configured in the touch screen 104 in other ways. The main component of the fingerprint collection device 112 in the embodiment of the present application is a fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint sensor can adopt any type of sensing technology, including but not limited to optical, capacitive, piezoelectric or ultrasonic sensing technology.

It can be understood that the positioning device 108 may be a receiver of a global positioning system (Global Positioning System, GPS) or a positioning system such as the Beidou Satellite Navigation System or the Russian GLONASS. After receiving the geographical location sent by the above-mentioned positioning system, the positioning device 108 sends the information to the processor 101 for processing, or to the memory 103 for storage. In some other embodiments, the positioning device 108 may also be a receiver of an Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS). The AGPS system serves as an auxiliary server to assist the positioning device 108 in completing ranging and positioning services. In this case, the assisted positioning server communicates with the positioning device 108 (ie, the GPS receiver) of the device, such as the mobile phone 100, through a wireless communication network to provide positioning assistance. In some other embodiments, the positioning device 108 may also be based on positioning technology of a WI-FI access point. Since each WI-FI access point has a globally unique (Media Access Control, MAC) address, the device can scan and collect the broadcast signals of surrounding WI-FI access points when WI-FI is turned on. Therefore, The MAC address broadcast by the WI-FI access point can be obtained; the device sends these data (such as MAC address) that can identify the WI-FI access point to the location server through the wireless communication network, and the location server retrieves each WI -The geographical location of the FI access point, combined with the strength of the WI-FI broadcast signal, calculates the geographical location of the device and sends it to the positioning device 108 of the device.

The audio circuit 109, speaker 113, and microphone 114 can provide an audio interface between the user and the mobile phone 100. The audio circuit 109 can transmit the electrical signal converted from the received audio data to the speaker 113, and the speaker 113 converts it into a sound signal for output; on the other hand, the microphone 114 converts the collected sound signal into an electrical signal, and the audio circuit 109 After receiving, it is converted into audio data, and then the audio data is output to the RF circuit 102 for sending to, for example, another mobile phone, or the audio data is output to the memory 103 for further processing.

The technical solutions involved in the following embodiments can be implemented in a terminal (such as the mobile phone 100) with the above hardware architecture and software architecture.

Taking the picture files in the user's hidden gallery application 383 as an example, the implementation process of the hiding function of the terminal involved in the embodiment of the present application will be described.

In some examples of this application, when the user views the picture files in the application through the gallery application 383, if the user needs to hide some of the picture files. Then, after the user performs operations through the touch screen at the hardware layer (for example, the operation of selecting the corresponding picture files in the browsing interface of the gallery application 383, and the operation of starting the terminal to hide these selected picture files), the touch screen can be triggered to pass the corresponding operation. The driver reports the touch event (such as the number, location, time and other parameters of touch points) generated by the operation to the kernel 320. The kernel 320 encapsulates the touch event and calls the corresponding API to distribute the touch event to the gallery application 383. Then, in response to the trigger event, the gallery application 383 sets the display status corresponding to the selected picture files to the hidden status. Then, these hidden picture files will no longer be displayed in the browsing interface of the gallery application 383.

In another example of this application, when the user views the picture files in the application through the gallery application 383, if the user needs to hide some of the picture files. Then, after the user performs operations through the touch screen at the hardware layer (including: the operation of selecting the corresponding picture file in the browsing interface of the gallery application 383, and the operation of starting the terminal to hide the selected picture file), the touch screen can be triggered to pass the corresponding driver The touch event (such as the number, location, time and other parameters of touch points) generated by the operation is reported to the kernel 320. The kernel 320 encapsulates the touch event and calls the corresponding API to distribute the touch event to the gallery application 383 and the safe application 384. Then, in response to the triggering event, the gallery application 383 moves the selected picture files to the storage directory of the safe application 384 . In other words, these picture files will no longer be displayed in the browsing interface of the gallery application 383, that is, the gallery application 383 realizes the hiding of these image files. However, in the image browsing interface in the safe application 384, these image files can be displayed.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific implementation of the terminal hiding function.

Generally speaking, a method for hiding items in an application provided by embodiments of the present application includes: a terminal displays a first interface, the first interface includes multiple controls, and each control can correspond to an item. Among them, the first control is selected and corresponds to the first item. The terminal receives a user's operation on the touch screen, and the operation is used to instruct the terminal to hide the first item. The terminal obtains the user's fingerprint information based on the user's operation on the touch screen and verifies the user's identity. After the user identity verification is passed, the terminal displays the second interface, and the first item is not displayed in the second interface. The second interface has fewer first items than the first interface, and the items displayed on the second interface are the same as other items in the first interface except the first item. In other words, the terminal hides the first item in the application.

The above-mentioned first interface may be, for example, a browsing interface or an editing interface of an application or application function, and the browsing interface or editing interface includes multiple folder icons or file icons. The first interface may also be a home screen interface of the terminal, which contains multiple application icons or folder icons. The first interface may also be a negative one-screen interface of the terminal. The negative one-screen interface may refer to an interface that the user enters by sliding to the right from the home screen interface (or desktop). The negative one-screen interface may display functions commonly used by the user. , applications, and subscribed services and information, etc. The negative one-screen menu is also called a desktop assistant, shortcut menu, etc. For example: the negative screen can also display the "situational intelligence" application, which contains multiple card information. The embodiment of this application does not specifically limit the first interface.

The above-mentioned first item may be a folder (for example: a folder in the "File Management" application), a file in the folder (for example: a video file in a video folder, a picture file in a picture folder), or an application. Certain types of information (for example: itinerary cards in the "Situation Intelligence" application), certain information in the application (for example: one or some text messages in the "SMS" application, one or more text messages in the "Contacts" application contact information of some people), the application icon corresponding to the application (the application icon in the home screen interface), etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the first item.

It can be seen from the above that when using the application, the user can directly operate the items that need to be hidden, so that the terminal hides these items. It is no longer necessary to exit the current application and enter a specific application (such as the "Safe Cabinet" application) to perform complex operations to hide items in the application. Therefore, the method provided by the embodiments of the present application can simplify the user's operations, improve the interaction efficiency between the user and the terminal, and is conducive to improving the user experience.

In addition, the embodiment of the present application performs user identity verification in the process of hiding items in the application, which is also helpful to avoid misoperation by users and avoid hiding files that do not need to be hidden.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application will be introduced below based on specific application scenarios.

Application scenario 1: Take the picture files in the user's hidden picture folder as an example to illustrate.

For example, the user opens the browsing interface of the picture folder through the "File Management" application. Click the "Edit" button in the browsing interface to enter the editing interface of the picture folder. Select the picture file that needs to be hidden in the editing interface of the picture folder, such as interface 401 (first interface) shown in (1) in Figure 5A. Multiple controls are displayed in the interface 401, and each control corresponds to a picture file. Among them, the picture file 403 is selected (the first control is selected, the first control corresponds to the picture file 403, and the picture file 403 is the first item). It should be noted that multiple image files can also be selected on the interface 401, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of selected image files.

In some examples of this application, when the terminal displays the browsing interface or editing interface of the picture folder, a fingerprint icon 402 is also displayed to prompt the user that the picture file can be hidden. The display position of the fingerprint icon 402 is associated with the fingerprint reader. That is to say, when the user operates at the display position of the fingerprint icon 402, the terminal can collect the user's fingerprint information through the fingerprint reader under the touch screen and display the user's fingerprint information. The fingerprint information is compared with the pre-stored fingerprint information to verify the user's identity. After the user authentication is successful, proceed to the next step. Optionally, the user can also use other icons, text, or pictures to prompt the user to input fingerprint information, and instruct the terminal to hide the selected picture file. Optionally, if the position of the fingerprint reader in the terminal is a fixed position, the terminal does not need to display the fingerprint icon. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this.

In other examples of this application, when the terminal displays the browsing interface or editing interface of the picture folder, it can also first determine whether the user needs to hide the picture file. If the user needs to hide the picture file, the fingerprint icon 402 can be displayed. Otherwise, the fingerprint icon 402 may not be displayed.

The above determination of whether the user needs to hide the picture file may be, for example, the terminal detects the user's operation of turning on the "hide" function. The user turns on the "hidden" function, for example, the user turns on the hidden function in the system settings of the terminal, or the user turns on the hidden function button in the application settings, etc. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this.

In other examples of this application, when the terminal displays the picture folder editing interface, the terminal does not display the fingerprint icon 402 until no picture file is selected. After the terminal detects that the user has selected a picture file that needs to be hidden, the fingerprint icon 402 is displayed. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

Then, when the terminal detects the user's operation of hiding the picture file, for example, it detects that the user long presses the fingerprint icon 402 on the interface 401 shown in (1) in Figure 5A, the terminal collects the user's fingerprint information and collects the fingerprint information. The fingerprint information obtained is compared with the pre-stored fingerprint information.

Among them, the above-mentioned operation of the user to hide the picture file can be the operation of the user on the fingerprint input position, for example, it can be click, long press, double-click, etc. The specific operation gesture can be set under the setting function. In this embodiment of the present application, No specific restrictions are made. Since the user's finger will come into contact with the touch screen of the terminal when the user performs this operation at the fingerprint input position, the terminal can collect the user's finger information through the fingerprint reader under the touch screen. The collected fingerprint information is then compared with fingerprints pre-stored by the terminal.

If the comparison is successful, it means that the user who performed the above operation is a legitimate user, that is, the user identity verification is successful, then the selected image file can be hidden, that is, the second interface is displayed, such as interface 404 shown in (2) in Figure 5A . The picture file 403 is not displayed in the interface 404, that is, the picture file 403 is hidden by the terminal. In some examples of this application, in the second interface, the terminal can retain the original position of the picture file 403, that is, the original position of the picture file 403 is displayed as blank, and the positions of other unhidden picture files remain unchanged. The terminal may not retain the original position of the picture file 403. For example, the terminal may fill the position with a picture file originally arranged after the picture file 403. The terminal can also reorder unhidden picture files, etc. This is not specifically limited in the embodiments of this application.

In some embodiments of the present application, after the user identity verification is successful, the terminal can also change the display effect of the fingerprint icon 402 to prompt the user that the fingerprint comparison is successful. For example, change the fingerprint icon 402 from gray to another color, such as red. For another example, before fingerprint comparison is performed, the fingerprint icon 402 is displayed statically. After the fingerprint comparison is successful, the fingerprint icon 402 is dynamically displayed in a flashing, animated, or other manner. For another example, change the brightness, contrast, grayscale, etc. of the above-mentioned fingerprint icon 402. The embodiments of this application are not limiting.

If the comparison fails, it means that the user who performed the above operation is an illegal user, or the user who performed the above operation did not use a specific finger (the finger corresponding to the pre-stored fingerprint information), that is, the user identity verification failed, and the selected user cannot be authenticated. Picture files are hidden. In some examples, the terminal can continue to display the browsing interface or editing interface of the picture folder, and the picture file 403 is still displayed in the interface. The picture file 403 may be in a selected state or an unselected state, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of this application. In other examples, the terminal can also display prompt information to prompt the user to re-enter the fingerprint used to hide the picture file. Then, after the user re-enters the fingerprint information, the terminal collects the fingerprint information entered at this time again, and compares the fingerprint information collected this time with the pre-stored fingerprint information. If the comparison is successful, the selected image file will be hidden, otherwise, the selected image file will still be retained. Optionally, the terminal can also vibrate or change the color, grayscale, brightness, etc. of the fingerprint icon 402 to prompt the user that the fingerprint comparison fails.

The hiding method provided by the embodiment of the present application can also be applied to hiding picture files in the gallery application, video files in the video folder, other files in the folder or other folders, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In summary, when browsing image files, the user can directly select the image file that needs to be hidden, and then enter the operation to hide the image file, so that the terminal can complete hiding the selected image file. It can be seen that the method provided by the embodiment of the present application simplifies the user's operation, improves the interaction efficiency between the user and the terminal, and enhances the user experience.

After hiding the picture file, the embodiment of the present application also includes a process of displaying the hidden picture file again. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, it is a schematic flow chart of a method for hiding items in an application provided by the embodiment of the present application, including:

S101. The terminal displays a file browsing interface, which contains one or more file identifiers.

Among them, the above-mentioned files can be picture files, video files, audio files, other types of files, folders, etc. The above-mentioned file identifier may be an icon corresponding to the type of file, or may be a thumbnail corresponding to the file, etc., which are not limited in the embodiment of this application.

For example: the user opens the browsing interface of the picture folder through the "File Management" application or the "Gallery" application, and the browsing interface contains thumbnails corresponding to multiple picture files.

S102. The terminal receives the user's first operation and enters the editing interface of the one or more files.

The user's first operation may be, for example, that the user clicks the "Edit" button in the above-mentioned browsing interface to enter the editing interface of the picture folder, and then edits one or more files, such as selecting, deleting, sending, etc. operate.

In other examples of this application, the identification of one or more files can be directly selected in the above browsing interface, and this step does not need to be performed.

S103. The terminal receives the user's operation of selecting a file that needs to be hidden, and determines that the file selected by the user is the target file.

For example, the user's operation of selecting a file to be hidden may be the user's click operation on the file identification, or the user's sliding operation on the file identification, or dragging the file identification to a designated location, etc., in this embodiment of the present application No restrictions.

S104. The terminal receives the user's operation of hiding the target file.

In some examples of this application, a fingerprint icon is displayed on the file browsing interface or editing interface, and the fingerprint icon is used to prompt the user to enter fingerprint information to hide the target file. The method of displaying the fingerprint icon may refer to the above description, and will not be repeated here.

The terminal is preset with gestures for hiding the target file, such as clicking, long pressing, double-clicking the fingerprint icon, etc. after selecting the file as the file to be hidden. If the terminal detects that the user enters the preset gesture for hiding the target file, it is received. Operation to hide the target file from the user.

For the user's operation of hiding the target file, reference may be made to the above-mentioned description of the user's operation of hiding the picture file. For example, in (1) of FIG. 5A , the user long presses the fingerprint icon 402, which will not be repeated here.

S105. The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information based on the user's operation of hiding the target file, and verifies the user's identity. If the verification fails, step S106a is executed. If the verification passes, step S106b is executed.

S106a. The terminal displays a prompt message indicating that the user's identity verification failed.

S106b. The terminal hides the target file.

For example: in the interface 401 shown in (1) in Figure 5A, the picture file 403 is selected. The terminal detects that the user operates the fingerprint icon 402 on the interface 401. Therefore, the terminal collects the user's fingerprint information and compares the collected fingerprint information with the pre-stored fingerprint information. If the comparison is successful, the user identity verification is passed. Then, the terminal hides the selected target file and displays the interface 404 shown in (2) in Figure 5A. The previously selected picture file 403 is not displayed in this interface 404.

S107. The terminal receives the user's operation of displaying hidden files.

In some examples of this application, after the terminal executes step S106, that is, after the terminal hides the target file, the terminal can also display prompt information to remind the user that there is a hidden file in the interface. Prompt information can be text information, specific icons, etc. The specific icon may also be a fingerprint icon, for example, and the fingerprint icon in this step may be different from the fingerprint icon in step S104. For example, the fingerprint icon in this step and the fingerprint icon in step S104 are displayed in different positions, or are marked with different shapes or colors, or are marked with different text, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Optionally, the fingerprint icon in this step can also be the same fingerprint icon as the fingerprint icon in step S104. Then, the terminal can operate the fingerprint icon according to the user using different operating gestures, or the user can use different fingers (different fingerprint information) Use the operation fingerprint icon to distinguish whether the operation is to hide the file or to display the file. For example: the operation of clicking the fingerprint icon is the operation of hiding files, and the operation of long pressing the fingerprint icon is the operation of displaying hidden files. Optionally, the terminal does not need to distinguish the user's operation gesture on the fingerprint icon. Because the user needs to select the file to be hidden before hiding the file. However, users do not need to select any files before displaying hidden files. Therefore, after detecting the user's operation at the display of the fingerprint icon, the terminal can also make a distinction based on whether a file is selected in the current interface. If a file is selected in the current interface, this operation is to hide the selected file. If no file is selected in the current interface, this operation is to display hidden files. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

In some examples of this application, the terminal is preset with gestures for displaying hidden files, such as clicking, long pressing, double-clicking a fingerprint icon, etc. If the terminal detects that the user inputs the preset gesture for displaying hidden files, it is considered that the user has received the gesture. Show hidden files.

S108. The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information based on the user's operation of displaying hidden files, and verifies the user's identity. If the verification passes, step S109b is executed. If the verification fails, step S109a is executed.

S109a. The terminal displays a prompt message, indicating that user authentication failed.

S109b. The terminal displays hidden files.

The description will be given as an example in which the fingerprint icon in step S107 and the fingerprint icon in step S104 are the same fingerprint icon, and the terminal does not distinguish between specific operation gestures for displaying hidden files and hiding files. For example: the terminal detects that the user long presses the fingerprint icon 402 on the interface 404 shown in (1) in Figure 5B. Therefore, the terminal collects the user's fingerprint information and compares the collected fingerprint information with the pre-stored fingerprint information. If the comparison is successful, the user identity verification is passed. Then, the terminal displays the files hidden in the interface, and displays the interface 405 shown in (2) in Figure 5B. The image file 403 is displayed in the interface 405, and the interface 404 shown in (1) in Figure 5B Image file not shown 403. It should be noted that the description here takes the interface 404 shown in (1) in FIG. 5B as an example in which only the picture file 403 is hidden. If there are other picture files hidden in the interface 404, the terminal can display all hidden picture files. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

It should also be noted that the terminal can display hidden files in a blank position in the current interface, or in a position where these files were previously displayed. This is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some examples of this application, the number or time for the terminal to display hidden files can be set. Here we take the hidden file as an image file as an example. For example: after the user performs a display operation and the user is authenticated, the hidden image file can be displayed once. That is to say, when the user exits the current interface (for example, the browsing interface of the picture folder) or the current application (for example, the "gallery" application), the display status of these hidden picture files becomes invalid. That is to say, when the user enters the browsing interface for picture files again (for example, the browsing interface for picture folders) or enters the application where the picture files are located (for example, the "Gallery" application), these hidden picture files are still hidden. is invisible. The user needs to perform the display operation again before these image files can be displayed. In other examples of this application, the time when the terminal displays the hidden picture files may be a preset time period, that is, from the time when the terminal starts displaying these hidden picture files, within the preset time period, these hidden picture files The picture files are all displayed and visible. After a preset period of time, these hidden picture files return to their hidden state and become invisible. In other examples of this application, the terminal can always display these hidden picture files. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

Application scenario 2: Take the user hiding the application icon in the home screen interface as an example to illustrate.

In some examples of this application, the terminal displays a home screen interface. The terminal detects that the user long presses any application icon in the home screen interface, and the home screen interface displayed by the terminal is in an editable state. The user can select one or more application icons that need to be hidden by, for example, clicking, and the terminal displays the interface 501 (ie, the first interface) as shown in (1) in Figure 7A. Among them, the interface 501 contains multiple controls, each control corresponds to an application icon, among which the "WeChat" application icon and the "Construction Bank" application icon are selected (that is, there are two first controls, one corresponding to the "WeChat" application icon, The other one corresponds to the "Construction Bank" application icon, the "WeChat" application icon and the "Construction Bank" application icon are the first items).

Then, the terminal receives the user's operation to hide the application icon, collects the user's fingerprint information based on the operation, and compares the fingerprint information with the pre-stored fingerprint information. If the comparison is successful, the selected application icon ("WeChat") is hidden. "application icon and "China Construction Bank" application icon), the interface 503 (second interface) shown in (3) in Figure 7A is displayed.

In some examples of this application, the above operation of the user to hide the application icon can be similar to the operation of the user to hide the picture file in application scenario one. For example: as shown in (2) in Figure 7A, the user clicks, double-clicks or long Press the fingerprint icon 502.

In other examples of this application, the above-mentioned operation of the user to hide the application icon can also be the user pressing and holding any selected application icon and dragging the application icon to a designated position, and the designated position is associated with a fingerprint reader, for example: As shown in (1) in Figure 7B, the application icons that need to be hidden in the interface 601 (for example: "WeChat" application icon and "Construction Bank" application icon) are selected, and the user can press and hold any selected application icon, for example "China Construction Bank" application icon, drag the selected application icon to the display position of fingerprint icon 602.

In this example, the terminal may display the fingerprint icon 602 when the home screen interface is displayed or when the home screen interface is in an editable state. The terminal may not display the fingerprint icon 602 when displaying the home screen interface, but may display the fingerprint icon 602 after the user presses and holds the application icon that needs to be hidden. The terminal may also display the fingerprint icon 602 after the user drags the application icon that needs to be hidden to a designated location and leaves the touch screen. This embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the time when the terminal displays the fingerprint icon 602.

Since the user's finger touches the touch screen when dragging the application icon that needs to be hidden to a designated location, the terminal can collect the user's fingerprint information through the fingerprint reader under the touch screen. And compare the collected fingerprint information with the pre-stored fingerprint information.

If the comparison is successful, it means that the user identity verification is successful, and the terminal will hide the selected application icons ("WeChat" application icon and "Construction Bank" application icon), that is, the interface 603 described in (2) in Figure 7B will be displayed. In other words, the user can directly drag the application icon that needs to be hidden to a designated position with a specific finger (the finger corresponding to the pre-stored fingerprint information) to complete the hiding of the application icon.

If the comparison fails, it means that the user who performed the above operation is an illegal user, or the user who performed the above operation did not use a specific finger (the finger corresponding to the pre-stored fingerprint information), which means that the user identity verification failed. Therefore, the terminal can display prompt information to prompt the user to re-enter the fingerprint information, and display the interface 604 shown in (3) in Figure 7B, with prompt information 605 displayed in the interface 604. Then, the user can input a fingerprint at, for example, the display location of fingerprint icon 602. The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information again and compares it with the pre-stored fingerprint information again. If the comparison is successful, the user identity verification is successful, and the terminal hides the selected application icons ("WeChat" application icon and "Construction Bank" application icon), that is, the interface 606 shown in (4) in Figure 7B is displayed. If the comparison fails, it means that the user does not have the permission to hide the application icon, and the terminal will not hide the selected hidden icon.

In another example of this application, when the user uses dragging to hide an application icon in the home screen interface, the user does not need to click any application icon in the home screen interface first, so that the terminal home screen It is in editable state and the application icon that needs to be hidden is selected. Instead, the user can directly long-press the application icon that needs to be hidden on the home screen interface, and drag the application icon directly to the display position of the fingerprint icon. During the entire process from long-pressing the application icon to dragging the application icon to the display position of the fingerprint icon, the user's finger does not leave the touch screen. The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information for comparison. The comparison process and subsequent processing can refer to the above description and will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that for other content in the application scenario, please refer to the description of the relevant content in application scenario 1, and will not be described in detail here.

In summary, on the home screen interface, users can directly select the application icon that needs to be hidden, and then enter the operation to hide the application icon (or press and hold any selected application icon and drag it to the location of the fingerprint icon). This will complete hiding the selected application icon. Or, on the home screen interface, the user can directly long press the application icon that needs to be hidden, and then drag the application icon to the location of the fingerprint icon to complete the hiding of the application icon. It can be seen that the method provided by the embodiment of the present application simplifies the user's operation, improves the interaction efficiency between the user and the terminal, and enhances the user experience.

After hiding the application icon, the embodiment of the present application also includes a process of displaying the hidden application icon again. Specifically, as shown in Figure 6, a schematic flow chart of a method for hiding items in an application provided by an embodiment of the present application includes:

S201. The terminal displays the main screen interface.

S202. The terminal receives the user's second operation, and the main screen interface enters an editable state.

For example, the user's second operation may be that the user long presses any application icon in the home screen interface, and the home screen interface displayed by the terminal is in an editable state.

S203. The terminal receives the user's operation of selecting an application icon that needs to be hidden, and determines that the application icon selected by the user is the target application icon.

S204. The terminal receives the user's operation to hide the target application icon.

In some examples of this application, a fingerprint icon is displayed on the home screen interface, and the fingerprint icon is used to prompt the user to enter fingerprint information to hide the target application icon. For the method of displaying the fingerprint icon, please refer to the above related descriptions and will not be repeated here.

In other examples of this application, the operation of the user terminal to hide the target application icon may be the user clicking, long pressing, double-clicking, sliding, rotating, etc. on the fingerprint icon, or the user may press and hold any selected application icon, Drag the selected application icon to the fingerprint icon. For details, please refer to the above relevant descriptions and will not be repeated here.

In other examples of this application, when the user uses dragging to hide an application icon in the home screen interface, the user does not need to click any application icon in the home screen interface first, so that the terminal home screen In the editable state, select the application icon that needs to be hidden, that is, the terminal does not need to perform step S202. In step S203, the user's operation of selecting the application that needs to be hidden may be the operation of the user directly pressing and holding the application icon that needs to be hidden on the home screen interface. The user's operation of hiding the target application icon in S204 is that the user directly drags the application icon to the display position of the fingerprint icon. It should be noted that during the entire process from long pressing the application icon to dragging the application icon to the display position of the fingerprint icon, the user's fingers do not leave the touch screen.

S205. The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information based on the user's operation of hiding the target application icon, and verifies the user's identity. If the verification fails, step S206a is executed. If the verification passes, step S206b is executed.

S206a. The terminal displays a prompt message, prompting that the user authentication failed.

S206b. The terminal hides the target application icon.

In some examples of this application, after the terminal hides the target application icon, it can display prompt information to remind the user that there is a hidden application icon in the interface. Prompt information can be text information, specific icons, etc. The specific icon may also be a fingerprint icon, for example, and the fingerprint icon in this step may be different from the fingerprint icon in step S204. For example, the fingerprint icon in this step and the fingerprint icon in step S204 are displayed in different positions, or are marked with different shapes or colors, or are marked with different text. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Optionally, the fingerprint icon in this step can also be the same fingerprint icon as the fingerprint icon in step S204. Then, the terminal can operate the fingerprint icon according to the user using different operating gestures, or using different fingers (different fingerprint information) to operate. Fingerprint icon to distinguish whether the operation is to hide the application icon or to display the application icon. For example: clicking the fingerprint icon is an operation to hide the application icon, and long pressing the fingerprint icon is an operation to display the hidden application icon. Optionally, the terminal does not need to distinguish the user's operation gesture on the fingerprint icon. Before hiding the application icon, the user needs to select the application icon to be hidden, or press and hold the application icon to drag. However, the user does not need to select the application icon before it is displayed. Therefore, after the terminal detects the user's operation on the display of the fingerprint icon, it can also make a distinction based on whether an application icon is selected in the current home screen interface. If an application icon is selected in the current interface, this operation is an operation to hide the selected application icon. If no application icon is selected in the current interface, this operation is an operation to display the hidden application icon. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

S207. The terminal receives the user's operation of displaying and hiding the application icon.

S208: The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information according to the user's operation of displaying and hiding the application icon, and verifies the user's identity. If the verification passes, step S209b is executed. If the verification fails, step S209a is executed.

S209a. The terminal displays a prompt message, indicating that user authentication failed.

S209b. The terminal displays hidden application icons.

The description will be made by taking the fingerprint icon in step S206 and the fingerprint icon in step S204 as being the same fingerprint icon as an example. For example: the terminal detects that the user operates the fingerprint icon 602 on the interface 606 shown in (1) in Figure 7C. Therefore, the terminal collects the user's fingerprint information and compares the collected fingerprint information with the pre-stored fingerprint information. If the comparison is successful, the user identity verification is passed. And since no application icon is selected in the current home screen interface, and the user does not press and hold an application icon to drag, the terminal displays the application icon hidden in the home screen interface, as shown in Figure 7C (2 ), the interface 607 displays the “WeChat” application icon and the “Construction Bank” application icon, but these two application icons are not displayed in the interface 606 shown in (1) in Figure 7C. It should be noted that the explanation here is based on the example that only two application icons are hidden in the interface 606 shown in (1) in FIG. 7C . If there are other application icons hidden in the interface 606, the terminal can display all hidden application icons. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

It should also be noted that the terminal can display hidden application icons in a blank position in the current interface, or in a position where these application icons were previously displayed. This is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some examples of this application, the time for the terminal to display hidden application icons can be set. Please refer to the relevant description in Application Scenario 1, which will not be repeated here.

Application Scenario 3: Taking the user's hiding of short messages in the "SMS" application as an example to illustrate.

In some examples of this application, the user opens the interface of the "SMS" application to browse short messages, such as interface 701 shown in (1) in Figure 8. On this interface 701, after the terminal detects that the user clicks the "Edit" button 703, the terminal enters the editable state of short messages. The user can select one or more short messages that need to be hidden through, for example, clicking operations, as shown in the figure. Interface 702 (i.e., the first interface) shown in (2) in 8. Among them, the interface 702 contains multiple controls, each control corresponding to a short message, among which a short message sent by Jack and a short message sent by Annie are selected (that is, there are two first controls, one corresponding to "Sent by Jack") One short message, and the other corresponds to a short message sent by Annie. The short message sent by Jack and the short message sent by Annie are the first items). In some examples, a fingerprint icon 704 is also displayed on the interface 702. The fingerprint icon 704 may be displayed at any position on the interface 702, or the fingerprint icon 704 may not be displayed. This embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitations.

Then, the terminal receives the user's operation to hide the short message. The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information based on the operation and compares the fingerprint information with the pre-stored fingerprint information. If the comparison is successful, the selected short message is hidden and the display is as follows. Interface 705 (second interface) shown in (3) in Figure 8 .

In some examples of this application, the above-mentioned user's operation of hiding short messages can be similar to the user's operation of hiding picture files in application scenario one. For example: the user is on the interface 702 shown in (2) in Figure 8, Click, double-click or long press the fingerprint icon 704.

In other examples of this application, the above operation of the user to hide the short message may also involve the user pressing and holding the fingerprint icon 704 and dragging the fingerprint icon 704 to any selected short message.

In this example, the terminal may display the fingerprint icon 704 when displaying the short message browsing interface or editing interface. The terminal may not display the fingerprint icon 704 when displaying the short message browsing interface or editing interface, but may display the fingerprint icon 704 after the user selects any short message. This embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the time when the terminal displays the fingerprint icon 704.

Since the user's finger touches the touch screen when dragging the fingerprint icon 704 to any selected short message, the terminal can collect the user's fingerprint information through the fingerprint reader under the touch screen. And compare the collected fingerprint information with the pre-stored fingerprint information.

If the comparison is successful, it means that the user identity verification is successful, and the terminal will hide the selected short message, that is, display the interface 705 as shown in (3) in Figure 8. In other words, the user can directly use a specific finger (the finger corresponding to the pre-stored fingerprint information) to drag the required fingerprint icon to any selected short message to complete the hiding of the selected short message.

If the comparison fails, it means that the user who performed the above operation is an illegal user, or the user who performed the above operation did not use a specific finger (the finger corresponding to the pre-stored fingerprint information), which means that the user identity verification failed. Therefore, the terminal can display prompt information to prompt the user to re-enter the fingerprint information. The user may then enter a fingerprint at, for example, where fingerprint icon 704 is displayed. The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information again and compares it with the pre-stored fingerprint information again. If the comparison is successful, the user identity authentication is successful and the terminal hides the selected short message. If the comparison fails, it means that the user does not have the permission to hide short messages, and the terminal will not hide the selected short messages.

In other examples of this application, when the user drags the fingerprint icon to hide one of the short messages, the user does not need to click the "Edit" button in the short message browsing interface to select the one that needs to be hidden. short message. Instead, the user can directly drag and hold the fingerprint icon 704 in the short message browsing interface, and drag the fingerprint icon 704 to the control corresponding to the short message that needs to be hidden. During the entire process from pressing and holding the fingerprint icon to dragging the fingerprint icon to the control corresponding to the short message that needs to be hidden, the user's finger does not leave the touch screen. The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information for comparison. The comparison process and subsequent processing can refer to the above description and will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that for other contents in this application scenario, please refer to the descriptions of relevant contents in other application scenarios mentioned above, and will not be described again here.

To sum up, on the short message editing interface, users can directly select the short message that needs to be hidden, then press and hold the fingerprint icon and drag the fingerprint icon to any selected short message to complete the hiding of the selected short message. . Or, on the short message browsing interface or editing interface, the user can press and hold the fingerprint icon and drag the fingerprint icon to the short message that needs to be hidden to complete the hiding of the short message. It can be seen that the method provided by the embodiment of the present application simplifies the user's operation, improves the interaction efficiency between the user and the terminal, and enhances the user experience.

After the terminal hides the short message, the embodiment of the present application also includes a process of displaying the hidden short message again. The display process is similar to the methods in other application scenarios mentioned above and will not be repeated here.

Application Scenario 4: Take the user hiding the contact information in the "Address Book" as an example to illustrate.

In some examples of this application, the user opens an interface for browsing contact information in the "Address Book" application, such as interface 801 (ie, the first interface) shown in (1) in Figure 9 . The interface 801 contains multiple controls, each control corresponding to the information of a contact.

In some examples, the terminal also displays a corresponding fingerprint icon at the information of each contact to prompt the user to enter fingerprint information to hide the contact information. For example: Contact "Bella" corresponds to fingerprint icon 802. The fingerprint icon 802 is used to prompt the user to enter a fingerprint so that the terminal hides the information of the contact "Bella". Optionally, the user can also use other icons, text, or pictures to prompt the user to enter fingerprint information, and instruct the terminal to hide the selected contact information. Optionally, since the position of the fingerprint reader in the terminal is fixed, the terminal does not need to display the fingerprint icon. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this.

Then, when the terminal detects the user's operation to hide the contact information, the operation can be, for example, the user's action on the fingerprint input position (for example, it can be the display position of the fingerprint icon corresponding to the contact information that needs to be hidden, or it can be the display position of the fingerprint icon that needs to be hidden) (on the control corresponding to the contact information). In other examples of this application, the terminal is preset with operation gestures for hiding contact information, such as long press or double click. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this. Since the user's finger will come into contact with the touch screen of the terminal when the user performs this operation at the fingerprint input position, the terminal can collect the user's finger information through the fingerprint reader under the touch screen. The collected fingerprint information is then compared with fingerprints pre-stored by the terminal. For example: on the interface 801 shown in (1) in Figure 9, the terminal detects that the user long presses or double-clicks (preset operating gesture) fingerprint icon 802 (the contact information corresponding to the fingerprint icon 802 is the first item , the control corresponding to the contact information is the first control), the terminal collects the user's fingerprint information, and compares the collected fingerprint information with pre-stored fingerprint information. If the comparison is successful, it means that the user identity verification is successful, and the terminal will hide the selected contact information, that is, display the interface 803 as shown in (2) in Figure 9 . Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, in the interface 801 shown in (1) in Figure 9, each control does not display the corresponding fingerprint icon, and the user can directly use a specific finger (with the pre-stored fingerprint The finger corresponding to the information) long press or double-click the contact information that needs to be hidden, or slide on the contact information that needs to be hidden to complete the hiding of the contact information.

If the comparison fails, it means that the user who performed the above operation is an illegal user, or the user who performed the above operation did not use a specific finger (the finger corresponding to the pre-stored fingerprint information), which means that the user identity verification failed. Therefore, the terminal can display prompt information to prompt the user to re-enter the fingerprint information. After the user re-enters the fingerprint information, the terminal collects the user's fingerprint information again and compares it with the pre-stored fingerprint information again. If the comparison is successful, the user identity authentication is successful and the terminal hides the selected contact information. If the comparison fails, it means that the user does not have the permission to hide the contact information, and the terminal does not hide the contact information.

In other examples of this application, if the terminal detects that the user clicks the control corresponding to the contact information on the interface 801 shown in (1) in Figure 9, the terminal displays the specific contact information of the contact Bella, that is, displays Interface 804 shown in (3) in Figure 9 . It should be noted that since the contact information control partially overlaps with the fingerprint icon 802, the click operation can be performed on the fingerprint icon. Because the click operation is not the terminal's preset operation gesture for hiding contact information, the terminal will not hide the contact information, but will display the contact's specific contact information.

It should be noted that for other contents in this application scenario, please refer to the descriptions of relevant contents in other application scenarios mentioned above, and will not be described again here.

In summary, the user can hide the contact information that needs to be hidden by long pressing or double-clicking the contact information that needs to be hidden (or the fingerprint icon corresponding to the contact information that needs to be hidden). It can be seen that the method provided by the embodiment of the present application simplifies the user's operation, improves the interaction efficiency between the user and the terminal, and enhances the user experience.

It should be noted that the method for hiding any item provided by the embodiments of the present application can be any one or any combination of the possible implementation methods in the above application scenarios, and is not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

After the terminal hides the contact information, the embodiment of the present application also includes a process of displaying the hidden contact information again. The display process is similar to the methods in other application scenarios mentioned above and will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that the process of the terminal displaying the hidden items and the process of the terminal hiding the items may be independent processes. That is to say, 1. After the terminal uses the above method in the embodiment of this application to hide the item, it can use the method of displaying the hidden item in the embodiment of this application to display the hidden item again, or it can also use other display methods. to display hidden items. 2. The terminal can use the above method in the embodiment of this application to hide the item, or can use other hiding methods to hide the item, and then use the method of displaying hidden items provided in the embodiment of this application to display the hidden item.

Generally speaking, the method for displaying hidden items provided by embodiments of the present application specifically includes: the terminal displays a third interface, in which the second item in the third interface has been hidden. The terminal receives a user's operation on the touch screen, and the operation is used to instruct the terminal to display the hidden second item. Based on this operation, the terminal obtains the user's fingerprint information and verifies the user's identity. After the user identity verification is passed, the terminal displays a fourth interface, and the second item is displayed on the fourth interface. Among them, the fourth interface has more second items than the third interface, and other items displayed on the fourth interface are the same as the items in the third interface. In other words, the terminal displays items that have been hidden in the third interface.

As shown in Figure 10, it is a schematic flow chart of a method for displaying hidden items provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method specifically includes:

S301. The terminal displays a third interface, and the second item in the third interface is hidden.

S302. The terminal receives the user's operation to display the second item.

Exemplarily, the user's operation to display the second item is a preset operation to instruct the terminal to display the hidden item. For example, it may be the user's operation at the fingerprint icon display position. The operation gesture may be, for example, click, long press, double click, or slide. Any of them.

S303. The terminal collects the user's fingerprint information according to the user's operation of displaying the second item, and verifies the user's identity. If the verification passes, step S304b is executed. If the verification fails, step S304a is executed.

S304a. The terminal displays a prompt message indicating that the user's identity verification failed.

S304b. The fourth interface of the terminal. The second item is displayed in the fourth interface.

Among them, compared with the third interface, the fourth interface has a second item, and other items are the same. In other words, items hidden in the third interface are displayed in the fourth interface.

It should be noted that the terminal can display hidden items in a blank position in the current interface, or in a position where these hidden items were previously displayed. This is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some examples of this application, the number or time for the terminal to display hidden files can be set. For details, please refer to the relevant description in step S109b, which will not be described again here.
