Method embodiment one

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating a first step of a processing method embodiment of a favorite according to the present invention is shown, where the favorite specifically may include: the method comprises the following steps:

step 101, detecting a first dragging operation of a user for a first folder;

and 102, merging the first folder and the second folder if the position of the first dragging operation is matched with the position range of the second folder.

In step 101, the first dragging operation may be an operation of dragging the selected first folder. In practical application, the selected first folder can be dragged to any position in the screen. The first folder may be one folder, or the first folder may be a plurality of folders.

In the case of using a PC (Personal Computer), the first drag operation may be triggered via a mouse. In the case of using the mobile terminal, the first drag operation may be triggered on the touch screen via a finger or a stylus pen. It is understood that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific triggering manner of the first drag operation.

In step 102, when the position of the first drag operation matches the position range of the second folder, it may be determined that the user has a merging requirement of the first folder and the second folder, and therefore the first folder and the second folder are merged.

Matching the position of the first drag operation with the range of positions of the second folder may include: the position of the first dragging operation is located in the position range of the second folder, and the stay time exceeds the time threshold. The position range of the second folder is generally a rectangular range corresponding to the display area of the second folder.

In practical application, a graphical identifier corresponding to the first dragging operation may be generated and displayed, and a position of the graphical identifier may be used to characterize a position of the first dragging operation. In the case where part or all of the graphical identifier enters the location range of the second folder, the location of the first drag operation may be considered to be within the location range of the second folder. The dwell time may represent the time during which part or all of the graphical indicia enters the location range of the second folder. The duration threshold may be determined by one skilled in the art according to the actual application requirements, for example, the duration threshold may be in units of milliseconds or seconds, etc.

The embodiment of the invention can provide the following technical scheme for merging the first folder and the second folder:

technical solution 1

In technical solution 1, the process of merging the first folder and the second folder may specifically include: creating a first new folder, and adding the first folder and the second folder to the first new folder.

For example, if the first folder is folder a and the second folder is folder B, then in the case where the position of the first drag operation matches the position range of the second folder, a first new folder may be created and folder a and folder B may be placed in the first new folder, whereby folder a and folder B may be brought into a parallel relationship and independence between folder a and folder B may be maintained.

Technical solution 2

In technical solution 2, the process of merging the first folder and the second folder may specifically include: adding the first folder to the second folder.

For example, if the first folder is folder a and the second folder is folder B, the folder a may be placed in the folder B so that the folder a becomes a subfolder of the folder B when the location of the first drag operation matches the location range of the second folder.

Technical solution 3

In technical scheme 3, the process of merging the first folder and the second folder may specifically include: and adding the website of the first folder into the second folder, and deleting the first folder.

The combination of folders in technical scheme 3 is used for combining a plurality of folders into one folder. After the merging of the folders is completed, the first folder that is dragged will be deleted.

In order to merge a plurality of folders into one folder, the embodiment of the present invention may move the website of the first folder into the second folder, where the moving object is specifically the website of the first folder. In addition, the first folder is also deleted, so that the merging requirement of the user on the websites in the plurality of folders is met.

For example, the first folder a includes: website a1, website a2, … website Am, and a second folder B comprising: website B1, website B2, and website …, wherein m and n are natural numbers greater than 0; after the website of the first folder a is merged into the second folder B in the embodiment of the present invention, the merged second folder B may include: website B1, website B2, … website Bn, website a1, website a2, … website Am.

In an implementation manner, the adding the website of the first folder to the second folder specifically includes: sequencing the websites of the first folder and the websites of the second folder according to a preset sequencing characteristic; and displaying the sorting result in the area of the second folder.

Those skilled in the art may determine the preset ordering characteristic according to the actual application requirement, and it is understood that the specific preset ordering characteristic is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, the preset ordering feature may include: a time characteristic, and/or a name characteristic. The temporal characteristics may include: the time of use. The web addresses of the first folder and the web addresses of the second folder may be sorted in order of usage time from back to front. For example, if the time of use of address A1 is later than the time of use of address B1, address A1 may be placed before address B1. In the sorting result, the web address of the first folder and the web address of the second folder may be displayed in a mixed manner, for example, the sorting result includes: website a1, website B1, website B2, website B3, website A3 …, and the like.

The name feature may be a keyword feature of the content. The keyword feature may be the first word in the content, etc. The websites of the first folder and the websites of the second folder can be sequenced according to the corresponding first letters of the keyword characteristics; typically, the more first the first letter is in the alphabet, the more forward the ranking position. Or, the websites of the first folder and the websites of the second folder may be sorted according to the matching degree between the keyword feature and the interest feature of the user, and generally, the higher the matching degree is, the higher the sorting position is.

In another implementation manner, the adding the website of the first folder to the second folder specifically includes: and under the condition that the website address of the first folder is different from the website address of the second folder, merging the website address of the first folder into the second folder. In order to avoid the existence of repeated websites in the merged second folder, before merging, it may be determined whether the website of the first folder is the same as the website of the second folder, and if the determination result is different, the website of the first folder may be merged into the second folder.

And if so, displaying the corresponding repeated prompt information in the merging process, or displaying the corresponding repeated prompt information after the merging is finished. The repeated prompt information can prompt the user that the website of the first folder is repeated with the website of the second folder.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first folder may serve as a role of a merged object, and the second folder may serve as a role of a merged object. Those skilled in the art can determine the merged object and the merged object according to the actual application requirement, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific merged object and the merged object.

For example, after the website address of the first folder is merged into the second folder, a first drag operation may be performed with respect to the third folder as a merged object to merge the website address of the third folder into the second folder.

For another example, after merging the website address of the first folder into the second folder, the second folder may be used as a merged object, the fourth folder may be used as a merged object, and the first drag operation is performed on the second folder to merge the website address of the second folder into the fourth folder.

To sum up, according to the method for processing favorites in the embodiment of the present invention, the first folder and the second folder are merged according to the first drag operation for the first folder. Because the first folder and the second folder can be merged through one-time dragging operation, the operation process can be simplified, the operation time can be shortened, and the merging efficiency of the folders in the favorites can be improved.

step 203, detecting a second dragging operation of the user for the first website;

and 204, if the position of the second dragging operation is matched with the position range of the second website, creating a new folder, adding the first website and the second website into the new folder, and displaying naming prompt information corresponding to the new folder.

The web address merging process in the conventional technology is usually that, first, an empty folder is created, and then the first web address and the second web address are added to the empty folder respectively. The website merging process in the traditional technology is complex to operate, so that the website merging efficiency is low.

The embodiment of the invention optimizes the operation path of website merging, creates a new folder under the condition that the position of the first website corresponding to the second dragging operation is matched with the position range of the second website, adds the first website and the second website into the new folder, and displays the naming prompt information corresponding to the new folder. According to the website merging process, the website merging is realized through the second dragging operation, the operation process can be simplified, the operation time can be reduced, and therefore the website merging efficiency can be improved.

In addition, the embodiment of the invention displays the naming prompt information corresponding to the new folder, and the user can name the new folder so as to improve the distinction degree of the name of the new folder.

The matching of the location of the second drag operation with the location range of the second web address may include: the position of the second dragging operation is located in the position range of the second website, and the stay time exceeds the time threshold. The location range of the second web address is usually a rectangular range corresponding to the display area of the second web address.

In practical application, a graphical identifier corresponding to the second dragging operation may be generated and displayed, and a position of the graphical identifier may be used to represent a position of the second dragging operation. In a case where part or all of the graphic identifier enters the location range of the second web address, the location of the second drag operation may be considered to be within the location range of the second web address. The dwell time may represent the time during which part or all of the graphical identifier enters the location range of the second web address. The duration threshold may be determined by one skilled in the art according to the actual application requirements, for example, the duration threshold may be in units of milliseconds or seconds, etc.

In an implementation manner, the adding the first website and the second website to the new folder specifically includes: sequencing the first website and the second website according to a preset sequencing characteristic; and displaying the corresponding sorting result in the area of the new folder.

Those skilled in the art may determine the preset ordering characteristic according to the actual application requirement, and it is understood that the specific preset ordering characteristic is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, the preset ordering feature may include: a time characteristic, and/or a name characteristic.

The naming prompt message of the embodiment of the invention can be used for naming the new folder by a user so as to improve the distinction degree of the name of the new folder.

In a specific implementation, the naming prompt message may include: naming an input box; the method further comprises the following steps: and determining the name of the new folder according to the input information of the user in the name input box.

For example, after creating a new folder and adding the first and second web addresses to the new folder, a popup may be presented, which may include a naming input box to allow a user to enter the name of the new folder in the naming input box. The pop-up window may further include: header information, which may include: and (5) creating a new folder. The pop-up window may further include: the input information in the naming input box is used as the name of the new folder, and the input information in the naming input box is used as the name of the new folder.

The website merging process starts from the second dragging operation and ends at the naming of the new folder, and therefore smooth experience of website merging can be brought to a user.

It should be noted that, for simplicity of description, the method embodiments are described as a series of motion combinations, but those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the described motion sequences, because some steps may be performed in other sequences or simultaneously according to the present invention. Further, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments described in the specification are presently preferred and that no moving act is required as an embodiment of the invention.
