Referring to FIG. 1, an application environment diagram of a preferred embodiment of a shortcut list sorting system according to the present invention is shown. The shortcut list sorting system 10 is applied to the mobile terminal 1. The mobile terminal 1 can be a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or a digital camera. The mobile terminal 1 also includes a shortcut list 20 and a screen 30. The user puts frequently used functions into the shortcut list 20 so that the functions in the shortcut list 20 can be quickly launched. The shortcut list sorting system 10 is configured to automatically sort the shortcut list 20 according to the frequency of use of each function in the shortcut list 20. The screen 30 is used to display the shortcut list 20.

Referring to FIG. 2, it is a functional module diagram of a preferred embodiment of the shortcut list sorting system of the present invention. The shortcut list sorting system 10 includes an initialization module 100 and a monitoring module The first sorting module 102, the second sorting module 103, the third sorting module 104, and the display module 105.

In the present invention, the shortcut list 20 is ordered using three parameters. These three parameters are the counter, the carry counter, and the position logger. Counters and carry counters are used to record the number of uses of each function. A carry occurs when the value of a counter of a function is greater than a preset threshold. For example, assuming a preset threshold of 4, a carry is generated when the value of a counter of a certain function is greater than 4. The carry counter is used to record the number of carryes for each function. The location recorder is used to record a location tag for each function in the shortcut list 20.

The initialization module 100 is configured to separately set an initial value of a position recorder, a counter, and a carry counter of each function according to an arrangement order of each function in the shortcut list 20. In the present embodiment, the initial value of the position recorder of a certain function is set to be the same as the arrangement order of the function in the shortcut list 20, and the initial value of the counter of each function and the carry counter is set to zero. For example, if the music player is in the first place in the shortcut list 20, the initialization module 100 sets the initial value of the position recorder of the music player to 1, and sets the initial value of the counter and the carry counter of the music player to 0. The second place is the calculator. The initialization module 100 sets the calculator's position recorder to an initial value of 2, and sets the calculator's counter and the carry counter to an initial value of zero. Referring to FIG. 3, it is a schematic diagram of the initial state of the shortcut list 20. In the figure, Item A, Item B, Item C, Item D, and Item E are the first five functions of the shortcut list 20.

The monitoring module 101 is configured to monitor whether the user uses the functions in the shortcut list 20, add new functions to the shortcut list 20, or delete the functions in the shortcut list 20.

The first sorting module 102 is configured to use when a user uses a function in the shortcut list 20, The shortcut list 20 is sorted using counters, carry counters, and position recorders for each function. Specifically, when it is monitored that the user uses one of the functions in the shortcut list 20, first, the first sorting module 102 increments the value of the counter of the function by one. Then, the first sorting module 102 determines whether the value of the counter of the function is greater than a preset threshold to determine whether a carry is generated. In the present embodiment, the description is made with the threshold value of the counter being 4. If no carry is generated, the sorting is ended. Referring to FIG. 4, it is a sorting diagram that does not generate a carry. In the figure, before using Item B, the value of the counter of Item B is equal to 0, and after using Item B, the value of the counter of Item B is equal to 1.

If a carry occurs, the first sorting module 102 determines whether the function is ranked first in the shortcut list 20. In this embodiment, it is determined whether the value of the location recorder of the function is equal to one. If the function is ranked first in the shortcut list 20, the first sorting module 102 restores the counter of the function to the corresponding initial value, increments the value of the carry counter of the function by one, and ends the sorting. In this embodiment, the initial value corresponding to the counter is zero. Referring to Figure 5, a schematic diagram of the ordering in order to generate a carry and use the function in the first place. In the figure, before using Item A, the value of the counter of Item A is 4, and the value of the carry counter is 0; after using Item A, the value of the counter of Item A is 0, and the value of the carry counter is 1.

If the function is not ranked first in the shortcut list 20, the first sorting module 102 determines whether the value of the carry counter of the previous function of the function is equal to the corresponding initial value, in this embodiment, Determine if it is equal to 0. If it is equal to the initial value, the first sorting module 102 exchanges the position of the function and its previous function, that is, the value of the position recorder of the function is decremented by 1, and the value of the counter of the function is restored to the corresponding initial value. That is, 0, and the value of the position recorder of the previous function is incremented by one. Referring to FIG. 6, a ranking diagram is shown when the carry counter of the previous bit function of the function that generates the carry and is used is equal to the corresponding initial value. In the figure, before using Item D, the value of the position recorder and counter of Item D is 4; after using Item D, the value of the position recorder of Item D is 3, and the value of the counter is 0.

If the value of the carry counter of the previous function of the function is not equal to the corresponding initial value, the first sorting module 102 restores the value of the counter of the function to the corresponding initial value, and the carry counter of the function The value is incremented by one and the value of the carry counter of the previous function is decremented by one. Referring to FIG. 7, a sorting diagram is shown when the value of the carry counter of the previous bit function of the function that generates the carry and is used is not equal to the initial value. In the figure, before using Item B, the value of the counter of Item B is 4, the value of the carry counter is 0, the value of the carry counter of Item A is 1; after the use of Item B, the value of the counter of Item B is 0, the carry counter The value of the carry counter is 1, and the value of the carry counter of Item A is 0.

The second sorting module 103 is configured to sort the shortcut list 20 by using a counter, a carry counter and a position recorder of each function when adding a function to the shortcut list 20. If a function is added to the shortcut list 20, the second sorting module 103 determines whether to select a new location. If the new location is selected, the second sorting module 103 sets the initial value of the location recorder, the counter, and the carry counter of the newly added function according to the selected location, and adds the location recorder of each function after the newly added location. The value is incremented by 1. The initial value of the counter of the newly added function and the carry counter is set to be the same as the initial value of the counter of the existing function set by the initialization module 100 and the carry counter, for example, both are 0. See Figure 8 for a sorted view of adding new features to the selected location. A new feature, Item N, has been added to the picture and you have chosen to add it to the third place. If the new location is not selected, the second sorting module 103 adds the added function. A default position, set the counter of the newly added function and the initial value of the carry counter, such as 0, and increase the value of the position recorder of each function after the default position by one. The predetermined position may be set to any one of the shortcut list 20. In this embodiment, if the new location is not selected, the second sorting module 103 adds the newly added function to the first position of the shortcut list 20. Referring to FIG. 9, when the new location is not selected, the added function is added to the first-order sorting diagram, and Item N is added in the figure.

The third sorting module 104 is configured to sort the shortcut list 20 by using a counter, a carry counter and a position recorder of each function when the user deletes a function in the shortcut list 20. When a function in the shortcut list 20 is deleted, the third sorting module 104 decrements the value of the position recorder of each function after the position of the deleted function by one. Referring to FIG. 10, a sorting diagram for deleting a function in the shortcut list 20 is shown. In the figure, before deleting Item C, Item C is ranked fourth; after deleting Item C, the position recorder of each function after Item C is decremented by 1, that is, one position is moved forward.

The display module 105 is configured to display the shortcut list 20 on the screen 30 of the mobile terminal 1 according to the value of the location recorder of each function in the shortcut list 20.

Referring to FIG. 11, a flowchart of a preferred embodiment of a shortcut list sorting method according to the present invention is shown.

In step S901, the initialization module 100 sets initial values of the position recorder, the counter, and the carry counter of each function according to the arrangement order of the functions in the shortcut list 20. In the present embodiment, the initial value of the position recorder of a certain function is set to be the same as the arrangement order of the function in the shortcut list 20, and the initial value of the counter of each function and the carry counter is set to zero. For example, the first place in the shortcut list 20 is The music player, the initialization module 100 sets the initial value of the position recorder of the music player to 1, sets the initial value of the counter and the carry counter of the music player to 0; the calculator in the second place initializes The module 100 sets the calculator's position recorder to an initial value of 2, and sets the calculator's counter and the carry counter to an initial value of zero.
