A processing method, applied to a terminal comprising at least a first home screen and a second home screen, the method comprises: displaying, by the terminal, the first home screen, wherein a docked bar on the first home screen comprises at least one first application icon corresponding to a first application, and the first application is automatically determined by the terminal from applications on the first home screen based on a user's application use habit and that meets a preset condition; wherein the preset condition is at least one of the following conditions: an application that is most frequently used, an application that is latest installed, an application that is latest updated, and an application that is abnormally exited; detecting, by the terminal, a third operation of a user, wherein the third operation is used to instruct the terminal to switch from the first home screen to the second home screen; and in response to the third operation detected by the terminal, displaying, by the terminal, the second home screen, wherein a docked bar on the second home screen comprises at least one second application icon corresponding to a second application, and the second application is different from the first application, and the second application is automatically determined by the terminal from applications on a non-docked bar of the second home screen based on a user's application use habit and that meets a preset condition; wherein the preset condition is at least one of the following conditions: an application that is most frequently used, an application that is latest installed, an application that is latest updated, and an application that is abnormally exited; wherein a non-docked bar corresponds to an area of a home screen excluding a docked bar; and wherein a docked bar on each home screen includes a maximum of P application icons, wherein the terminal specifies that a screen-unrelated policy is used for Q application icons, the Q application icons on the docked bar on each home screen are application icons corresponding to Q applications that are automatically determined by the terminal from applications included on non-docked bars on all home screens and that meet the preset condition, and the Q application icons on the docked bar on each home screen are the same; and wherein the terminal specifies that a screen-related policy is used for the other (P-Q) application icons, the (P-Q) application icons on each home screen are application icons corresponding to (P-Q) applications that are automatically determined by the terminal from applications included on a non-docked bar on each home screen and that meet the preset condition, and the (P-Q) application icons on the docked bar on each home screen are different. displaying, by the terminal, the first home screen, wherein a docked bar on the first home screen comprises at least one first application icon corresponding to a first application, and the first application is automatically determined by the terminal from applications on the first home screen based on a user's application use habit and that meets a preset condition; wherein the preset condition is at least one of the following conditions: an application that is most frequently used, an application that is latest installed, an application that is latest updated, and an application that is abnormally exited; detecting, by the terminal, a third operation of a user, wherein the third operation is used to instruct the terminal to switch from the first home screen to the second home screen; and in response to the third operation detected by the terminal, displaying, by the terminal, the second home screen, wherein a docked bar on the second home screen comprises at least one second application icon corresponding to a second application, and the second application is different from the first application, and the second application is automatically determined by the terminal from applications on a non-docked bar of the second home screen based on a user's application use habit and that meets a preset condition; wherein the preset condition is at least one of the following conditions: an application that is most frequently used, an application that is latest installed, an application that is latest updated, and an application that is abnormally exited; wherein a non-docked bar corresponds to an area of a home screen excluding a docked bar; and wherein a docked bar on each home screen includes a maximum of P application icons, wherein the terminal specifies that a screen-unrelated policy is used for Q application icons, the Q application icons on the docked bar on each home screen are application icons corresponding to Q applications that are automatically determined by the terminal from applications included on non-docked bars on all home screens and that meet the preset condition, and the Q application icons on the docked bar on each home screen are the same; and wherein the terminal specifies that a screen-related policy is used for the other (P-Q) application icons, the (P-Q) application icons on each home screen are application icons corresponding to (P-Q) applications that are automatically determined by the terminal from applications included on a non-docked bar on each home screen and that meet the preset condition, and the (P-Q) application icons on the docked bar on each home screen are different.
