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

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.
