Abstract

A method for displaying a desktop on a device, includes: acquiring current weather information; acquiring, according to the acquired current weather information, a theme file corresponding to the current weather information from a pre-downloaded theme package, the theme file including at least a desktop background file, and an icon file corresponding to an icon; and rendering the desktop background file and the icon file onto the desktop of the device.

Claims

1. A method for displaying a desktop on a device, comprising:

acquiring current weather information;

acquiring, according to the acquired current weather information, a theme file corresponding to the current weather information from a pre-downloaded theme package, the theme file including at least a desktop background file, and an icon file corresponding to an icon; and

rendering the desktop background file and the icon file onto the desktop of the device.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring of the current weather information comprises:

acquiring, according to a preset geographical location, weather information corresponding to the geographical location.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring of the current weather information comprises:

acquiring, according to a geographical location where the terminal is currently located, weather information corresponding to the geographical location.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the desktop background file includes a plurality of resources and moving trajectories and display effects of the resources, and the rendering of the desktop background file and the icon file onto the desktop of the device comprises:

rendering the desktop in accordance with the plurality of resources and the moving trajectories and the display effects of the resources, such that the resources present the display effects and move according to the moving trajectories on the desktop.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the icon file includes a first icon file corresponding to an inactive state and a second icon file corresponding to an active state, and the rendering of the desktop background file and the icon file onto the desktop comprises:

when the icon corresponding to the icon file is in an inactive state, rendering the first icon file corresponding to the inactive state onto the desktop; and

when an instruction to activate the icon in the inactive state is detected, withdrawing a rendering effect of the first icon file corresponding to the inactive state;

rendering the second icon file corresponding to the active state onto the desktop; and

starting an application corresponding to the icon.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the icon file further includes a third icon file corresponding to a preset operation, and the rendering of the desktop background file and the icon file onto the desktop comprises:

when the preset operation is detected, withdrawing the rendering effect of the first icon file corresponding to the inactive state, and rendering the third icon file corresponding to the preset operation onto the desktop.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein detecting the preset operation comprises:

detecting one of an operation of shaking, an operation of double-clicking a blank area on a screen, or an operation of blowing.

8. A terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to;

acquire current weather information;

acquire, according to the acquired current weather information, a theme file corresponding to the current weather information from a pre-downloaded theme package, the theme file including at least a desktop background file, and an icon file corresponding to an icon; and

render the desktop background file and the icon file onto the desktop of the device.

9. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire, according to a geographical location preset by the terminal, weather information corresponding to the geographical location.

10. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire, according to a geographical location where the terminal is currently located, weather information corresponding to the geographical location.

11. The terminal according to claim 8, wherein the desktop background file includes a plurality of resources and moving trajectories and display effects of the resources, and the processor is further configured to:

render the desktop in accordance with the plurality of resources and the moving trajectories and the display effects of the resources, such that the resources present the display effects and move according to the moving trajectories on the desktop.

12. The terminal according to claim 11, wherein the icon file includes a first icon file corresponding to an inactive state and a second icon file corresponding to an active state, and the processor is further configured to:

when the icon corresponding to the icon file is in an inactive state, render the first icon file corresponding to the inactive state onto the desktop; and

when an instruction to activate the icon in the inactive state is detected,

withdraw a rendering effect of the first icon file corresponding to the inactive state;

render the second icon file corresponding to the active state onto the desktop; and

start an application corresponding to the icon.

13. The terminal according to claim 12, wherein the icon file further includes a third icon file corresponding to a preset operation, and the processor is further configured to:

when the preset operation is detected, withdraw the rendering effect of the first icon file corresponding to the inactive state, and render the third icon file corresponding to the preset operation onto the desktop.

14. The terminal according to claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to:

detect one of an operation of shaking, an operation of double-clicking a blank area on a screen, or an operation of blowing to detect the preset operation.

15. A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a terminal, cause the terminal to perform a method for displaying a desktop, the method comprising:

acquiring current weather information;

acquiring, according to the acquired current weather information, a theme file corresponding to the current weather information from a pre-downloaded theme package, the theme file including at least a desktop background file, and an icon file corresponding to an icon; and

rendering the desktop background file and the icon file onto the desktop of the device.
