[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application with the application date of November 15, 2019, the Chinese application number of 201911121860.X, and the invention name of "a display method of an electronic device with a flexible screen and the electronic device". TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a display method of an electronic device with a flexible screen and the electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0003] The flexible screen includes screen types such as flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and compared with the traditional screen, the flexible screen is not only lighter and thinner in volume, but also has the characteristics of being bendable and flexible. With the popularization of mobile devices such as mobile phones, people's demand for large-screen mobile phones is becoming stronger and stronger. However, large-screen mobile phones have the significant problem of being inconvenient to carry, so the foldable screen mobile phone with stretchable and deformable screen becomes the main direction to improve the portability.

[0004] Currently, some manufacturers have applied flexible screens to electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers. As shown in the figure, the user can fold the screen when using the mobile phone with the flexible screen, so that the flexibility and portability of the mobile phone are higher. Currently, when the user plays games using the foldable screen mobile phone, if the user switches the flexible screen from one physical form to another, the sudden narrow field of view of the game may be caused due to the change of the screen ratio. For some fighting games, if the field of view is narrowed, the user may lose the game, resulting in poor game experience of the user. Figure 1 SUMMARY

[0071] As shown in (a) of FIG. 3, the flexible screen 301 can be displayed as a whole display area in the unfolded state. The user can fold the screen along one or more folding axes in the flexible screen 301. The positions of the folding axes can be pre-set or selected by the user in the flexible screen 301. Figure 3A As shown in (b) of FIG. 3, after the user folds the flexible screen 301 along the folding axis AB in the flexible screen 301, the display interface of the mobile phone 100 can be divided into two display interfaces, i.e., display interface 1 and display interface 2, along the folding axis AB. In the embodiments of the present application, the display interface 1 and the display interface 2 after folding can be displayed as two independent display areas. For example, the display interface 1 can be referred to as the main screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 can be referred to as the secondary screen of the mobile phone 100. The display areas of the main screen and the secondary screen can be the same or different. Alternatively, the display interface 1 can be referred to as the large screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 can be referred to as the small screen of the mobile phone 100. Alternatively, the display interface 1 can be referred to as the inner screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 can be referred to as the outer screen of the mobile phone 100.

[0072] Hereinafter, the display interface 1 is referred to as the main screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 is referred to as the secondary screen of the mobile phone 100.

[0073] It should be noted that after the user folds the flexible screen 301 along the folding axis AB, the main screen and the secondary screen can be arranged oppositely, or the main screen and the secondary screen can be away from each other. As shown in (c) of FIG. 3, after the user folds the flexible screen 301, the main screen and the secondary screen are away from each other, at this time, the main screen and the secondary screen are exposed to the external environment, and the user can use the main screen for display or use the secondary screen for display. Figure 3A

[0074] In some embodiments, as shown in (c) of FIG. 3, after the user folds the flexible screen 301, the screen of the bending part (also referred to as the side screen) can also be used as an independent display interface, at this time, the flexible screen 301 is divided into three independent display interfaces, i.e., the main screen, the secondary screen and the side screen. Figure 3A

[0075] For example, as shown in (c) of FIG. 3, after the user folds the flexible screen 301, the screen of the bending part (also referred to as the side screen) can also be used as an independent display interface, at this time, the flexible screen 301 is divided into three independent display interfaces, i.e., the main screen, the secondary screen and the side screen. Figure 3B ​​As shown, the size of the flexible screen 301 is 2480*2200 (in pixels), and the screen ratio is 8:7.1. The width of the folding axis AB on the flexible screen 301 is 166. After folding along the folding axis AB, the size of the right side of the flexible screen 301 is 2480*1144 (in pixels), and the screen ratio is 19.5:9. The area of the right side of the flexible screen 301 is divided into a main screen. The size of the left side of the flexible screen 301 is 2480*890 (in pixels), and the screen ratio is 25:9. The area of the left side of the flexible screen 301 is divided into a secondary screen. At this time, the folding axis AB with a size of 2480*166 can be used as a side screen. It should be understood that the folding axis referred to herein is only used for convenience of understanding. The folding axis can also be a folding band, a boundary line, a boundary band, or the like, which is not limited herein.

[0076] Referring to Figure 4 When the user folds the flexible screen 301, the main screen and the secondary screen divided therefrom are at a certain angle. In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone 100 can calculate the angle between the main screen and the secondary screen according to the data detected by one or more sensors.

[0077] For example, a gyroscope and an acceleration sensor can be arranged on the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42 of the mobile phone 100, respectively. The gyroscope on the main screen 41 can detect the rotation angular velocity when the main screen 41 rotates, and the acceleration sensor on the main screen 41 can detect the acceleration generated when the main screen 41 moves. Further, the mobile phone 100 can determine the size and direction of the gravity G according to the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor on the main screen 41. Similarly, the mobile phone 100 can also determine the size and direction of the gravity G according to the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor on the secondary screen 42. Alternatively, if the sensor A can detect the size and direction of the gravity G, the sensor A can be arranged on the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42, respectively. For example, the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor can be integrated into one sensor and arranged on the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42, respectively.

[0078] Further, as Figure 4 shown, a corresponding coordinate system can be arranged on the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42, respectively. For example, a Cartesian coordinate system O1 can be arranged in the secondary screen 42. In the Cartesian coordinate system O1, the x-axis is parallel to the shorter side of the secondary screen 42, the y-axis is parallel to the longer side of the secondary screen 42, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis and points outward from the secondary screen 42. Similarly, a Cartesian coordinate system O2 can be arranged in the main screen 41. In the Cartesian coordinate system O2, the x-axis is parallel to the shorter side of the main screen 41, the y-axis is parallel to the longer side of the main screen 41, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis and points inward from the main screen 41.

[0079] For example, the gyroscope and accelerometer in the secondary screen 42 can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity G in the Cartesian coordinate system O1, and the gyroscope and accelerometer in the main screen 41 can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity G in the Cartesian coordinate system O2. Since the y-axis points in the same direction in the Cartesian coordinate systems O1 and O2, the component G1 of gravity G in the x-axis and z-axis planes of the Cartesian coordinate system O1 is equal in magnitude but different in direction from the component G2 of gravity G in the x-axis and z-axis planes of the Cartesian coordinate system O2. The angle between component G1 and component G2 is the angle between the Cartesian coordinate systems O1 and O2, and similarly, it is the angle β between the secondary screen 42 and the main screen 41.

[0080] Therefore, by calculating the angle between the component G1 of gravity G in Cartesian coordinate system O1 and the component G2 of gravity G in Cartesian coordinate system O2, the mobile phone 100 can obtain the angle β between the secondary screen 42 and the main screen 41. It can be understood that the angle β between the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42 is within a closed interval of 0 to 180°.

[0081] For example, such as Figure 5A As shown in (a), when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42 is greater than a first threshold (e.g., 170°), the mobile phone 100 can determine that the flexible screen 301 is in an unfolded state. Figure 5A As shown in (b), when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42 is less than a second threshold (e.g., 20°), the mobile phone 100 can determine that the flexible screen 301 is in a folded state. Alternatively, as... Figure 5A As shown in (c), when the included angle β between the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42 is within a preset range (e.g., between 40° and 60°), the mobile phone 100 can determine that the flexible screen 301 is in a support state. In this embodiment, the physical form of the flexible screen 301 can be divided into an unfolded state and a non-unfolded state. Any physical form of the flexible screen 301 other than the unfolded state can be referred to as the non-unfolded state. For example, the support state and the folded state mentioned above both belong to the non-unfolded state.

[0082] Correspondingly, such as Figure 5B As shown in (a), when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42 is greater than a first threshold (e.g., 170°), the mobile phone 100 can determine that the flexible screen 301 is in an unfolded state. Figure 5B As shown in (b), when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the secondary screen 42 is less than a second threshold (e.g., 20°), the mobile phone 100 can determine that the flexible screen 301 is in a folded state. Alternatively, as... Figure 5BWhen the angle β between the main screen 41 and the auxiliary screen 42 is within a preset range (for example, between 40° and 60°), the mobile phone 100 can determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the stand state.

[0083] The state of the flexible screen 301 can also be determined in other manners, for example, by setting a gravity sensor and an acceleration sensor on the mobile phone, and the like. The manner in which the state of the flexible screen 301 is determined in the embodiments of the present application is not limited in any way.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present application, when the flexible screen 301 is in the folded state or the stand state, the mobile phone 100 can light up one of the main screen 41 and the auxiliary screen 42. For example, the mobile phone 100 can light up the main screen 41 or the mobile phone 100 can light up the screen closer to the user. If the mobile phone 100 lights up the main screen 41, the mobile phone 100 can display the display interface of the corresponding game application through the main screen 41 after detecting the operation of the user opening the game application. At this time, the pixel size on the main screen 41 can be 2480*1144. When the user switches the flexible screen 301 from the folded state or the stand state to the unfolded state during the game playing process, the mobile phone 100 can light up the main screen 41 and the auxiliary screen 42 as a complete display screen. At this time, the pixel size on the large screen can be 2480*2200. Compared with the previous display of the interface of the game application only on the main screen 41, the field of view range in the X direction remains unchanged, and the field of view range in the Y direction is expanded, so as to realize the expansion of the game field of view area. Alternatively, the field of view range in the X direction is cropped, and the field of view range in the Y direction is expanded. The expansion of the field of view range in the Y direction can compensate for the cropping of the field of view range in the X direction, so as to ensure that the field of view area remains basically unchanged during the switching from the display on the main screen to the display on the large screen, and the fairness of the game is ensured.

[0085] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the interface of the game application can be displayed through the display interface 1 in the main screen display state. The window of the display interface 1 includes a long side and a short side. The interface of the game application can be displayed through the full-screen display of the flexible screen in the large screen display state. The window of the full-screen display of the flexible screen includes a long side and a short side. The X direction can be the direction of the long side of the display interface 1 or the direction of the long side of the full-screen display of the flexible screen. The Y direction can be the direction of the short side of the display interface 1 or the direction of the short side of the full-screen display of the flexible screen.

[0086] In one embodiment, the size of the long side of the display interface 1 and the size of the long side of the full-screen display of the flexible screen can be the same. Alternatively, the number of pixels corresponding to the long side of the display interface 1 and the number of pixels corresponding to the long side of the full-screen display of the flexible screen can be the same. For example, Figure 3BAs shown, the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the display interface 1 is 2480, and the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the flexible screen in full screen display is 2480.

[0087] In one embodiment, the size of the short side of the display interface 1 is smaller than the size of the short side in full screen display of the flexible screen. Alternatively, the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the display interface 1 is smaller than the pixel value corresponding to the long side in full screen display of the flexible screen; or the ratio of the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the display interface 1 to the pixel value corresponding to the long side in full screen display of the flexible screen is less than 1. As shown in the following table, the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the display interface 1 is 2480, and the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the flexible screen in full screen display is 2480. Figure 3B As shown, the pixel value corresponding to the short side of the display interface 1 is 1144, and the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the flexible screen in full screen display is 2200.

[0088] For example, the pixel ratio of the length and width in the main screen state is 19.5:9, wherein the X direction is the direction corresponding to 19.5, and the Y direction is the direction corresponding to 9. For another example, the pixel ratio of the length and width in the large screen state is 8:7.1, wherein the X direction is the direction corresponding to 8, and the Y direction is the direction corresponding to 7.1. Alternatively, the X direction can be the direction of the side with more pixels, and the Y direction can be the direction of the side with less pixels.

[0089] It should also be understood that the field of view in the embodiments of the present application is related to the visible picture in the interface of the game application, and the expansion of the field of view in the Y direction can be understood as more and richer content or information displayed in the Y direction.

[0090] The sensor module 180 can include one or more of a gyroscope, an acceleration sensor, a pressure sensor, a barometric pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor (such as a Hall sensor), a distance sensor, a proximity light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a temperature sensor, a touch sensor, a pyroelectric infrared sensor, an ambient light sensor, or a bone conduction sensor, and the like, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the same.

[0091] The mobile phone 100 can realize the photographing function through the ISP, the camera 193, the video codec, the GPU, the flexible screen 301, and the application processor, etc.

[0092] The ISP is used to process the data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when taking a picture, the shutter is opened, the light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens, the light signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing to convert it into an image visible to the naked eye. The ISP can also optimize the algorithm of the noise, brightness, and skin color of the image. The ISP can also optimize the exposure, color temperature, and other parameters of the shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP can be arranged in the camera 193.

[0093] Camera 193 is used to capture still images or videos. Objects project optical images through the lens to the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element can be a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the ISP to convert into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into a standard image signal in RGB, YUV, or the like. In some embodiments, the mobile phone 100 can include one or N cameras 193, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0094] The digital signal processor is used to process digital signals, in addition to processing digital image signals, it can also process other digital signals. For example, when the mobile phone 100 selects a frequency point, the digital signal processor is used to perform Fourier transform on the frequency point energy, etc.

[0095] The video codec is used to compress or decompress digital video. The mobile phone 100 can support one or more video codecs. In this way, the mobile phone 100 can play or record videos in multiple encoding formats, such as moving picture experts group (MPEG) 1, MPEG 2, MPEG 3, MPEG 4, etc.

[0096] The NPU is a neural-network (NN) computing processor that learns from the structure of biological neural networks, such as the transmission mode between human brain neurons, to quickly process input information and continuously self-learn. Through the NPU, the mobile phone 100 can implement intelligent cognitive applications, such as image recognition, face recognition, voice recognition, text understanding, etc.

[0097] The external memory interface 120 can be used to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to expand the storage capacity of the mobile phone 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 110 through the external memory interface 120 to implement data storage functions. For example, music, video, and other files are saved in the external memory card.

[0098] The internal memory 121 can be used to store computer executable program codes, which include instructions. The processor 110 performs various functional applications and data processing of the mobile phone 100 by running the instructions stored in the internal memory 121. The internal memory 121 can include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area can store an operating system, at least one application program required by a function (such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, etc.), and the like. The data storage area can store data (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.) created during use of the mobile phone 100, and the like. In addition, the internal memory 121 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can further include a non-volatile memory such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash storage (UFS), and the like.

[0099] The mobile phone 100 can realize an audio function through an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, a headset interface 170D, an application processor, and the like. For example, music playing, recording, and the like.

[0100] The audio module 170 is used to convert digital audio information into an analog audio signal output, and is also used to convert an analog audio input into a digital audio signal. The audio module 170 can also be used to encode and decode an audio signal. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 can be disposed in the processor 110, or part of the functions of the audio module 170 can be disposed in the processor 110.

[0101] The speaker 170A, also known as a “loudspeaker”, is used to convert an audio electrical signal into a sound signal. The mobile phone 100 can listen to music or listen to a hands-free call through the speaker 170A.

[0102] The receiver 170B, also known as a “earpiece”, is used to convert an audio electrical signal into a sound signal. When the mobile phone 100 answers a call or a voice message, the receiver 170B can be held close to a human ear to listen to the voice.

[0103] The microphone 170C, also known as a “microphone”, “sound transducer”, is used to convert a sound signal into an electrical signal. When making a call or sending a voice message, a user can speak into the microphone 170C close to the human mouth to input a sound signal into the microphone 170C. The mobile phone 100 can be provided with at least one microphone 170C. In other embodiments, the mobile phone 100 can be provided with two microphones 170C, which can not only collect sound signals, but also realize a noise reduction function. In other embodiments, the mobile phone 100 can be provided with three, four or more microphones 170C, which can not only collect sound signals and reduce noise, but also identify a sound source and realize a directional recording function, and the like.

[0104] The earphone interface 170D is used to connect a wired earphone. The earphone interface 170D can be a USB interface 130, or a 3.5mm open mobile terminal platform (OMTP) standard interface, or a cellular telecommunications industry association of the USA (CTIA) standard interface.

[0105] The keys 190 include a power-on key, a volume key, and the like. The keys 190 can be mechanical keys. Alternatively, the keys 190 can be touch keys. The mobile phone 100 can receive key inputs and generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the mobile phone 100.

[0106] The motor 191 can generate a vibration prompt. The motor 191 can be used for incoming call vibration prompts, or for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations on different applications (such as taking pictures, playing audio, and the like) can correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Touch operations on different regions of the flexible screen 301 can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Different application scenarios (such as time reminders, received messages, alarms, games, and the like) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effects can also be customizable.

[0107] The indicator 192 can be an indicator light, which can be used to indicate a charging state, a power change, or to indicate messages, missed calls, notifications, and the like.

[0108] The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect a SIM card. The SIM card can be inserted into or removed from the SIM card interface 195 to achieve contact and separation with the mobile phone 100. The mobile phone 100 can support one or N SIM card interfaces, where N is a positive integer greater than 1. The SIM card interface 195 can support Nano SIM cards, Micro SIM cards, SIM cards, and the like. Multiple cards can be inserted into the same SIM card interface 195. The types of the multiple cards can be the same or different. The SIM card interface 195 can be compatible with different types of SIM cards. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with external storage cards. The mobile phone 100 interacts with a network through a SIM card to achieve functions such as calls and data communication. In some embodiments, the mobile phone 100 uses an eSIM, i.e., an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the mobile phone 100 and cannot be separated from the mobile phone 100.

[0109] The software system of the mobile phone 100 can adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. Embodiments of the present application take an Android system with a layered architecture as an example to illustrate the software structure of the mobile phone 100.

[0110] Figure 6A is a software structure block diagram of the mobile phone 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0111] The layered architecture divides software into several layers, each of which has a clear role and division of labor. Layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, the application layer, the application framework layer, the Android runtime and system library, and the kernel layer.

[0112] The application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0113] As shown in Figure 6A , the application layer can install camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, game, Bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc. applications.

[0114] The application framework layer provides application programming interfaces (APIs) and programming frameworks for the applications of the application layer. The application framework layer includes some pre-defined functions.

[0115] As shown in Figure 6A , the application framework layer can include display policy management service, power management service (PMS), display management service (DMS). Of course, the application framework layer can also include activity manager, window manager, content provider, view system, phone manager, resource manager, notification manager, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitation on this.

[0116] Among them, the display policy management service can be used to obtain the specific physical form of the flexible screen from the underlying display system. Further, the display policy management service can determine the display parameters according to the specific physical form of the flexible screen. For example, the display parameters can include the field of view display size in the X direction or Y direction under the main screen, the field of view display size in the X direction or Y direction under the secondary screen, or the field of view display size in the X direction or Y direction under the large screen, etc.

[0117] For example, when the mobile phone detects that the user starts a non-competitive game (or a competitive game without field-of-view fairness constraint), and the flexible screen of the mobile phone is in the folded state or the support state, the field-of-view range of the game interface displayed on the main screen in the X direction is the first field-of-view range, and the field-of-view range in the Y direction is the second field-of-view range. When the mobile phone detects that the flexible screen in the folded state or the support state changes to the unfolded state, the mobile phone can keep the field-of-view range in the X direction unchanged and widen the field-of-view range in the Y direction to the third field-of-view range while lighting up the large screen. The third field-of-view range is larger than the second field-of-view range. In this way, after switching to the large screen display, the field-of-view area of the game displayed on the whole large screen is increased compared with the field-of-view area of the game displayed on the main screen, which helps to improve the game experience of the user when playing the game.

[0118] For example, when the mobile phone detects that the user starts a non-competitive game (or a competitive game without field-of-view fairness constraint), and the flexible screen of the mobile phone is in the folded state or the support state, the field-of-view range of the game interface displayed on the main screen in the X direction is the first field-of-view range, and the field-of-view range in the Y direction is the second field-of-view range. When the mobile phone detects that the flexible screen in the folded state or the support state changes to the unfolded state, the mobile phone can keep the field-of-view range in the X direction unchanged and widen the field-of-view range in the Y direction to the third field-of-view range while lighting up the large screen. The third field-of-view range is larger than the second field-of-view range. In this way, after switching to the large screen display, the field-of-view area of the game displayed on the whole large screen is increased compared with the field-of-view area of the game displayed on the main screen, which helps to improve the game experience of the user when playing the game.

[0119] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the display parameters of the competitive game or the non-competitive game on the main screen, the auxiliary screen or the large screen can be issued to the mobile phone by the game server, and the display strategy management service can determine which display parameter to use according to the specific physical form of the flexible screen, so as to notify the display management service (DMS) of the corresponding display parameter. The DMS can display on the flexible screen through the surfaceflinger and the display driver. As shown in the figure, the system library and the kernel layer below the application program framework layer can be referred to as the underlying system, and the underlying system includes an underlying display system for providing a display service, for example, the underlying display system includes a display driver in the kernel layer and a surface manager in the system library. Moreover, the underlying system in the present application further includes a state monitoring service for identifying the physical form change of the flexible screen, which can be independently arranged in the underlying display system, or arranged in the system library and / or the kernel layer. Figure 6A

[0120] ​For example, the state monitoring service can invoke the sensor service to activate sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers for detection. The state monitoring service can calculate the angle between the main screen and the secondary screen based on the detection data reported by each sensor. Thus, by using the angle between the main screen and the secondary screen, the state monitoring service can determine the physical state of the flexible screen, such as whether it is in an unfolded state, a folded state, or a support state. Furthermore, the state monitoring service can report the determined physical state to the aforementioned display strategy management service.

[0121] and Figure 6A Similarly, such as Figure 6B The diagram illustrates the data flow within the Android operating system. For example, the hardware-level gyroscope and accelerometer report detected data to the sensor driver. The sensor driver then reports this data to the status monitoring service via the sensor service. Alternatively, the sensor driver can report the data via configuration changes messages. The status monitoring service determines the angle between the main screen and the secondary screen based on the data from the gyroscope and accelerometer, thus determining the physical form of the flexible screen. Furthermore, the status monitoring service reports the determined physical form of the flexible screen to the display strategy management service, which then decides on the display parameters for the current flexible screen. The display strategy management service notifies the display management service (DMS) of the determined display parameters. For example, when the flexible screen is in large-screen display mode, the DMS can power on the entire flexible screen via SurfaceFlinger and the display driver and display the game interface according to the corresponding display parameters in large-screen display mode. Additionally, the DMS can notify the window manager service (WMS) to create corresponding windows on the flexible screen for display.

[0122] In one embodiment, when the mobile phone detects a user's click on a game application (e.g., APP 3), the mobile phone can communicate with the game server. The mobile phone can send its model number to the game server, which is mainly for the game server to identify whether the mobile phone is a foldable screen phone. If the game server determines that the mobile phone is a foldable screen phone based on the model number, it can send game configuration parameters for different flexible screen forms to the mobile phone. The game configuration parameters for different forms can be stored in the game application at the application layer.

[0123] In another embodiment, when the phone detects that the user clicks the game application (for example, APP 3), the phone can communicate with the game server, and the phone can send the phone model and the current display state of the flexible screen of the phone to the game server. The game server can send the game configuration parameters corresponding to the current display state of the flexible screen of the phone to the phone.

[0124] For example, when the phone is in a folded state or a stand state, only the main screen of the flexible screen of the phone is lit, and the phone can notify the game server that the main screen is in a lit state. After obtaining the phone model and the current display state of the flexible screen of the phone, the game server can send the game configuration parameters corresponding to the display state of the main screen to the phone.

[0125] When the phone switches from the folded state or the stand state to the unfolded state, the flexible screen of the phone switches from the main screen display to the large screen display. At this time, the phone can continue to send the display phone model and the current display state of the flexible screen of the phone to the game server. After receiving the same, the game server can return the game configuration parameters corresponding to the display state of the large screen to the phone.

[0126] After the phone obtains the game configuration parameters corresponding to the screen mode from the game server, the game configuration parameters can be stored in the game application. After determining the physical form of the flexible screen of the phone, the display strategy management service can request the game configuration parameters corresponding to the game application (for example, APP 3) from the game application. The game application can send the game configuration parameters corresponding to the game application to the display strategy management service. The display strategy management service can send the game configuration parameters corresponding to the game application to the DMS, and the DMS can display the game interface on the flexible screen through the surfaceflinger and the display driver.

[0127] The Android runtime includes a core library and a virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing the Android system.

[0128] The core library includes two parts: one part is the function function required to be called by the java language, and the other part is the core library of the Android.

[0129] The application layer and the application framework layer run in the virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the java file of the application layer and the application framework layer into a binary file. The virtual machine is used to execute the management of the object life cycle, the management of the stack, the management of the thread, the management of the security and the exception, and the garbage collection.

[0130] The system library can include multiple functional modules. For example: a surface manager, media libraries, 3D graphics processing libraries (e.g., OpenGL ES), and 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL). The surface manager manages the display subsystem and provides fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The media libraries support playback and recording of various common audio and video formats, as well as still image files. The media libraries support various audio and video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG. The 3D graphics processing libraries are used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing. The 2D graphics engine is the drawing engine for 2D graphics.

[0131] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer includes at least display drivers, camera drivers, audio drivers, sensor drivers, etc., but this application embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0132] The following will use a mobile phone as an example of an electronic device and, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, elaborate in detail on a display method for an electronic device with a flexible screen provided in this application.

[0133] Figure 7 illustrates a set of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for a mobile phone, from which... Figure 7A to Figure 7D This demonstrates the process of a user switching from the main screen display mode to the large screen display mode when playing a competitive game (such as Honor of Kings) that has field-of-view fairness constraints.

[0134] See Figure 7A The GUI shown is the phone's desktop. The phone is currently folded, and the home screen can be turned on, displaying the desktop, which includes icons for one or more applications (APPs). These icons may include browser icons, calculator icons, weather icons, reading icons, photo album icons, and game application icon 701. When the phone detects a user tapping icon 701, it can display... Figure 7B The GUI shown.

[0135] When the phone detects that the user clicked on icon 710, the phone can send the phone model to the game's server. After receiving the phone model sent by the phone, if the game server determines that the phone is a foldable phone or has multiple screen modes, then the server can send the game configuration parameters for each screen mode to the phone.

[0136] Exemplarily, Table 1 shows display parameters of the server for different display states of the flexible screen of the mobile phone.

[0137] Table 1

[0138] Screen mode Game configuration parameters Main screen display state (19.5:9) Game configuration parameters 1 Sub screen display state (19.5:9) Game configuration parameters 2 Large screen display state (8:7.1) Game configuration parameters 3

[0139] The game configuration parameter 1 is used to determine display parameters of an interface of a game application in the main screen display state, and the display parameters can determine a field of view range in the X direction and a field of view range in the Y direction in the main screen display state.

[0140] The game configuration parameter 2 is used to determine display parameters of an interface of a game application in the secondary screen display state, and the display parameters can determine a field of view range in the X direction and a field of view range in the Y direction in the secondary screen display state.

[0141] The game configuration parameter 3 is used to determine display parameters of an interface of a game application in the large screen display state, and the display parameters can determine a field of view range in the X direction and a field of view range in the Y direction in the large screen display state.

[0142] The field of view range in the X direction in the main screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 1 is greater than the field of view range in the X direction in the large screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 3.

[0143] The field of view range in the Y direction in the main screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 1 is less than the field of view range in the Y direction in the large screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 3.

[0144] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the field of view range is a relative width and is used to measure the content or information contained in the X direction or the Y direction. Specifically, in a game scene, the field of view range can be used to measure how many scene objects are contained in the corresponding scene. The field of view range in the Y direction in the main screen display state being less than the field of view range in the Y direction in the large screen display state can also be understood as the number of scene objects displayed in the Y direction in the main screen display state being less than the number of scene objects displayed in the Y direction in the large screen display state; and the field of view range in the X direction in the main screen display state being greater than the field of view range in the X direction in the large screen display state can also be understood as the number of scene objects displayed in the X direction in the main screen display state being greater than the number of scene objects displayed in the X direction in the large screen display state.

[0145] It should also be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the screen ratio in the secondary screen display state and the main screen display state can be the same (for example, both are 19.5:9), so the field of view range in the X direction and the Y direction can be the same, and the field of view area in the secondary screen display state and the main screen display state can be the same; or the screen ratio in the secondary screen display state and the main screen display state can be different, so the field of view range in the X direction and the Y direction can be different, and the field of view area in the secondary screen display state and the main screen display state of the game with the field of view fairness constraint of the game remains basically unchanged.

[0146] It should also be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, in addition to determining the display parameters of the interface of the game application in the corresponding screen display state, the game configuration parameters can also determine the layout, position and spacing of the controls and other display parameters of the interface of the game application.

[0147] Referring to FIG. 7A, Figure 7B The GUI shown in FIG. 7A is the loading interface of the game. When the phone detects the operation of the user clicking the control 702, the phone can display the battle interface of the game. The phone can request the game configuration parameters in each screen form from the server when detecting whether the user opens the game application, or can request the display parameters in the current screen form from the server when the phone determines that the game enters the battle interface. When the phone receives the game configuration parameters in the main screen display state, the display strategy management service can obtain the corresponding game configuration parameters, and control the flexible screen to display accordingly.

[0148] When the phone detects that the user switches the flexible screen of the phone from the folded state to the unfolded state, the state monitoring service can obtain and calculate the data uploaded by the gyroscope sensor and the acceleration sensor in the hardware layer. When the state detection service determines that the flexible screen of the phone is in the unfolded form, the state monitoring service can report to the display strategy management service that the flexible screen of the phone has been in the unfolded state. The display strategy management service can continue to request the corresponding display parameters in the unfolded state from the game application 1 (for example, APP3 in FIG. 6) in the application layer. When the display strategy management service obtains the corresponding display parameters in the unfolded state from the game application 1, the display strategy management service can notify the DMS of the display parameters, and the DMS displays the game interface in the unfolded state on the flexible screen through the surfaceflinger and the display driver. Figure 6B

[0149] Referring to FIG. 7B, Figure 7D It can be seen that compared with the main screen display when the phone is in the folded state, the field of view range in the X direction is smaller, and the field of view range in the Y direction is widened, and the field of view expansion area can be as shown in FIG. 7B. Figure 7D ​As shown in FIG. 8, the game view area remains basically unchanged during the switching process from the main screen to the large screen, thus ensuring the fairness of the game.

[0150] For a battle game with a view fairness constraint, when the mobile phone switches from the main screen display state to the large screen display state, the X-direction view range in the main screen display state is greater than the X-direction view range in the large screen display state, and the Y-direction view range in the main screen display state is smaller than the Y-direction view range in the large screen display state. In this way, the entire view area remains basically unchanged before and after the switching, thus ensuring the fairness of the game. Meanwhile, the expansion of the Y-direction view range allows the user to see more information, Figure 7D Compared with Figure 7C As shown in FIG. 7, the user can see the sun, clouds, and river scenery content in the Y direction. Compared with the Y-direction view range in the main screen display state, the Y-direction view range in the large screen display state has more content or information, thus improving the user experience of the user when playing the battle game.

[0151] FIG. 8 shows a set of GUIs of the mobile phone, in which, from Figure 8A to Figure 8B The process in which the flexible screen of the mobile phone switches from the main screen display state to the large screen display state when the user plays another battle game (e.g., Peace Elite) is shown.

[0152] Referring to Figure 8A the GUI shown, which is the display interface displayed by the main screen of the mobile phone in the folded state. As can be seen from Figure 8A , the view in the Y direction of the main screen display is limited, and the player is not clear about the situation inside the wall when outside the wall. At this time, if the user wants to see the situation inside the wall, the flexible screen of the mobile phone can be changed from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0153] Referring to Figure 8B the GUI shown, which is the display interface displayed by the large screen of the mobile phone in the unfolded state. Compared with Figure 8A , the view range in the X direction is reduced, and the view range in the Y direction is widened, and the view expansion area can be as shown in Figure 8B , the user can see the situation inside the wall when the flexible screen of the mobile phone is in the large screen display state, for example, the user can see the houses, trees, and flowers inside the wall, and so on. In this way, under the premise of ensuring the fairness of the game, the increase of the view in the Y direction allows the user to see more useful information, thus improving the user experience when playing the game.

[0154] In this embodiment of the application, for combat games with field-of-view fairness constraints, since the field of view in the Y direction is limited in the main screen state, the user can switch the phone from the folded state to the unfolded state, thereby switching the flexible screen of the phone from the main screen display state to the large screen display state. Although the field of view in the X direction becomes smaller, the field of view in the Y direction is expanded. The field of view area remains basically unchanged in the main screen display state and the large screen display state, which makes it easier for the user to see more combat information in the Y direction. The user can see the enemy when the enemy cannot see the user, which helps to improve the user experience during the game.

[0155] It should be understood that when the flexible screen of the above electronic device switches from the main screen display state to the large screen display state, the field of view in the X direction decreases while the field of view in the Y direction expands; or the field of view in the X direction expands while the field of view in the Y direction decreases, thereby keeping the field of view area in the large screen display state basically unchanged from that in the main screen display state.

[0156] The above has been approved. Figure 7A to Figure 7D as well as Figure 8A to Figure 8B This section describes the changes in the game's field of view between the main screen and large screen displays when playing competitive games with fair field of view constraints. For competitive games with fair field of view constraints, to ensure fairness, the flexible screen reduces the field of view in the X direction and expands (or compensates for) the field of view in the Y direction when switching from the main screen to the large screen display, ensuring that the field of view area remains essentially constant. The following section describes the changes in the game's field of view between the main screen and large screen displays when playing non-competitive games or competitive games without fair field of view constraints.

[0157] Figure 9 shows a set of GUIs for the mobile phone, from which... Figure 9A to Figure 9B This demonstrates the process of a user switching from the main screen display mode to the large screen display mode when playing a non-combat game (e.g., Minecraft).

[0158] See Figure 9A The GUI shown is the interface for non-combat games displayed on the main screen when the phone is in a folded state. It can be viewed from... Figure 9A As can be seen, due to the limited field of view in the Y direction displayed on the main screen, players can only see a portion of the trees in front of them. If users wish to see more of the Y direction, they can unfold the phone's flexible screen from its folded state.

[0159] See Figure 9B The GUI shown is the interface for non-combat games displayed on the large screen when the phone is in its unfolded state. Compared to... Figure 9AIn the X direction, the field of view range remains unchanged, and in the Y direction, the field of view range is widened, and the field of view expansion area can be as shown in FIG. 1C. Figure 9B As shown in FIG. 1D, when the flexible screen of the mobile phone is in the large-screen display state, the user can see the complete tree.

[0160] In one embodiment, when the user switches the mobile phone from the unfolded state to the folded state, the flexible screen of the mobile phone can be switched from the large-screen display state back to the main-screen display state, in which the field of view in the X direction remains unchanged and the field of view in the Y direction becomes smaller.

[0161] For non-competitive games or competitive games without fairness constraints on the game field of view, when the flexible screen is switched from the main-screen display state to the large-screen display state, the field of view in the X direction remains unchanged and the field of view in the Y direction is expanded. Compared with the overall field of view area in the main-screen display state, the user can see more information, improving the immersive experience of the user when playing the game.

[0162] It should be understood that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to competitive games and non-competitive games, and can also be applied to other applications. For example, when the user browses a webpage in the main-screen display state, the displayed content of the page is less, at which time the user can switch the electronic device from the main-screen display to the large-screen display (for example, from the folded state to the unfolded state of the electronic device), at which time the displayed content when browsing the webpage can be increased compared with the main-screen display state, such as the number of displayed product information when the user is shopping online. For another example, when the user browses an e-book in the main-screen display state, the displayed content is less, and when switched from the main-screen display state to the large-screen display state, the displayed content of the entire screen can be increased compared with the main-screen display state.
