However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solution claimed in this application can be realized.

[0015] The first embodiment of the present invention relates to a terminal. It is used to meet the user's demand for a full screen while retaining the camera function of the front camera, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0016] The implementation details of the terminal in this embodiment will be described in detail below. The following content is only to facilitate understanding of the implementation details of this solution, and is not necessary for implementing this solution.

[0017] figure 1 The terminal shown in this embodiment includes a display screen 102 and a front camera 101. Such as figure 2 As shown, the display screen 102 includes: a first display area 201 for displaying status information and a second display area 202 for displaying pictures. The front camera 101 is superimposed on the display screen 102 and makes the front camera 101 visible. The area 203 is located in the first display area 201.

[0018] In a specific implementation, the visible area 203 of the front camera 101 is hidden in the first display area 201, and the position of the front camera 101 on the original terminal can also be expanded into a part of the display screen 102, adding a display screen. The display area of ​​the second display area 202 of 102 further achieves the effect of a full screen and meets the user's requirements for a full screen.

[0019] For example, on a mobile phone, the original part of the mobile phone used to display the camera can be expanded into a part of the display screen 102, thereby increasing the area of ​​the display screen 102 of the mobile phone to meet the user's requirements for a full screen; On the PAD, it is also possible to expand the original part used to display the front camera 101 into a part of the display screen 102, increase the area of ​​the PAD display screen 102, and the user has a wider field of view when using it, thereby improving the user experience degree. The above is only an example, the display mode can also be applied to other devices, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0020] It should be noted that the visible area 203 is a transparent glass area, and the visible area 203 is used to obtain the light required by the front camera 101 when shooting. When the front camera 101 is in the working state, for example, the user manually turns on the front camera 101, the front camera 101 starts to work, and the light required by the front camera 101 for shooting is obtained through the viewing area 203. When the camera 101 is taking photos or taking a video, the definition of the lens is relatively high, so the visible area 203 is a transparent glass area, so that not only the light source required by the front camera 101 during shooting can be obtained, so as to meet the requirements of the front camera 101. The optical requirements for shooting can also ensure that the captured images are clear to meet the requirements of the lens for clarity.

[0021] In a specific implementation, the application program installed on the terminal needs to automatically call the front camera 101 for shooting or taking pictures during the running process. Then, when the application program automatically calls the front camera 101 to make it work, The front camera 101 can obtain the light needed for shooting through the viewing area 203, and then take pictures or video; when the application program issues an instruction to close the front camera 101, the user can see through the viewing area 203 To the lens of the front camera 101, the viewing area 203 is in the first display area 201, which increases the display area of ​​the display screen 102 and improves the user experience.

[0022] It should be noted that the first display area 201 is used to display status information in areas other than the area superimposed with the visible area 203. Since the front camera 101 is superimposed on the first display area 201, the visible area 203 of the front camera 101 is located in the first display area 201. Therefore, the visible area 203 is only used to display the front camera 101. , The front camera 101 can be hidden in the first display area 201, which reduces the area occupied by the original front camera 101. When the front camera 101 is in the working state, the front camera 101 obtains the light required for shooting through the visible area 203. When the front camera 101 is in the closed state, since the viewing area 203 is made of transparent glass, the user can see the lens of the front camera 101 through the viewing area 203. In the first display area 201, except for the area superimposed with the visual area 203, the status information of the terminal is displayed, which is convenient for the user to specifically determine the application currently running and the power consumption of the terminal according to the status information. And other information.

[0023] Wherein, the status information includes at least one or a combination of time, power, operator signal, and operator information.

[0024] In a specific implementation, in the first display area 201 of the terminal, except for the area superimposed with the visible area 203, state information of the terminal is displayed, for example, the current time and how much power the terminal consumes. And the application installed on the terminal. During the running of the application, in the first display area 201, the running status of the application is displayed. For example, for a flashlight installed on a mobile phone, when the user turns on the flashlight, a corresponding flashlight logo will be displayed in the first display area 201 to remind the user that the flashlight application has been turned on. The above is only an example. The identifiers of other applications can also be displayed in the first display area 201, and the display function of the status information can also be applied to other devices, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0025] Among them, such as figure 1 As shown, the terminal further includes a cover 103, a front camera 101 and a first surface of the display screen 102 superimposed; the cover 103 and a second surface of the display screen 102 are superimposed.

[0026] It should be noted that the screen of the terminal is composed of three parts, including: a display screen 102 and a cover 103. The display screen 102 also includes an inner screen and an outer screen. The inner screen is used to display pictures, and the outer screen is a touch screen. The cover plate 103 is the uppermost glass. The function of the cover plate 103 is to protect the display screen 102 from being damaged. For example, when a user accidentally drops the terminal while using the terminal, the screen of the terminal is broken. Due to the protection of the cover 103, the internal circuit of the display screen 102 of the terminal is not damaged, and the terminal can be repaired by replacing the cover 103.

[0027] It should be noted that the material that can be used for the cover plate 103 is high-alumina and high-alkali aluminosilicate glass. After chemical strengthening, it is not easy to break. Ordinary soda lime silica glass can also be used as the material for the cover plate 103. .

[0028] In this embodiment, by hiding the visible area 203 of the front camera 101 in the first display area 201, the area of ​​the original terminal used to display the camera can be expanded into a part of the display screen 102, which increases The area of ​​the display screen 102 meets the user's demand for a full screen, while retaining the photographing function of the front camera 101, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0029] The second embodiment of the present invention relates to a terminal. The second embodiment is roughly the same as the first embodiment, and the main difference is that the visible area 203 is located in any area of ​​the start area, the middle area, and the end area.

[0030] Such as image 3 As shown, in a specific implementation, the terminal further includes: a frame component consisting of a first frame 301, a second frame 302 parallel to the first frame, a third frame 303, and a second frame parallel to the third frame 303 It consists of four frames 304; the first frame 301, the third frame 303, the second frame 302 and the fourth frame 304 are connected end to end; the first display area 201 is parallel to the first frame 301, and the first display area 201 is close to the third One end of the frame 303 is set as the starting end, and the end of the first display area 201 close to the fourth frame 304 is set as the ending end. The first display area 201 includes the starting area, the middle area and the ending area in turn from the beginning to the end. .

[0031] It should be noted that the first display area 201 is adjacent to and parallel to the first frame 301. In a specific implementation, the first display area 201 is at the top of the terminal, and can be divided into a start area, a middle area, and a termination area. In the three areas divided above, different information content can be displayed to facilitate users to view related applications. The status of the program.

[0032] Wherein, the visible area 203 is located in any area of ​​the start area, the middle area and the end area.

[0033] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, on the mobile phone, the display area where the status bar of the mobile phone is located is the first display area 201, and the front camera 101 is superimposed with the start area of ​​the status bar, so that the viewing area 203 of the front camera 101 is located at the beginning. In the starting area, the operator information corresponding to the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) used by the mobile phone can be displayed, and the front camera 101 can be displayed at the same time. The above is only an example, the display mode can also be applied to other devices, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0034] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, on the mobile phone, superimposing the front camera 101 with the middle area of ​​the status bar makes the visible area 203 of the front camera 101 located in the middle area. In the middle area, the front camera 101 can be displayed. The running status of each application running in the mobile phone can be displayed, for example, the alarm clock logo of a customized alarm clock, etc. The above is only an example, the display mode can also be applied to other devices, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0035] For example, such as Image 6 As shown, on the mobile phone, superimposing the front camera 101 with the termination area of ​​the status bar makes the viewing area 203 of the front camera 101 located in the termination area. In the termination area, the battery, time, and time of the mobile phone can be displayed. When the wireless local area network technology (wireless fidelity, WIFI) is activated for wireless Internet access, relevant information such as wireless signal strength and operator signals are displayed, and the front camera 101 is displayed at the same time. The above is only an example, the display mode can also be applied to other devices, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0036] It should be noted that the logo of the application program can be displayed in the start area of ​​the first display area 201, in the middle area, or in the end area. Specifically, it needs to be displayed in advance according to the user's preset The display position is specifically displayed in the corresponding area of ​​the corresponding first display area 201.

[0037] For example, in the PAD, the status bar of the PAD at the top of the display 102 represents the first display area 201. When the Bluetooth program is started on the PAD to perform Bluetooth pairing, a Bluetooth icon can be displayed according to the specific settings of the user In the termination area of ​​the status bar, specifically, the current time of the PAD and the battery usage status of the PAD, that is, battery power, etc., can also be displayed. The above is only an example, the display mode can also be applied to other devices, and the present invention is not limited to this.
