[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is the flowchart of the information display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a terminal device with a folding screen. As Figure 1 shown, it includes the following steps:

[0033] Step 101, detect the state of the folding screen.

[0034] In this embodiment, the state of the above-mentioned folding screen may be an unfolded state or a folded state. Detecting the state of the folding screen may be performed when there is a notification message in the terminal device, or may also be performed when the user actively views and opens the notification message interface, etc. This embodiment does not make a limitation in this regard.

[0035] Step 102, if the folding screen is in the unfolded state, display the notification messages of the first type of applications on the first screen and display the notification messages of the second type of applications on the second screen, where the folding screen includes the first screen and the second screen, and the priority of the first type of applications is higher than the priority of the second type of applications.

[0036] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned unfolded state can be understood as the state where the included angle between the first screen and the second screen of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a certain preset value, while the folded state can be understood as the state where the included angle between the first screen and the second screen of the terminal device is less than the preset value. The above-mentioned first type of applications and second type of applications can be applications that come with the terminal device, or can also be third-party applications downloaded by the terminal device, etc. The priority of the above-mentioned first type of applications is higher than that of the second type of applications. It can be that the user sets different priorities for the first type of applications and the second type of applications, or, it can also be that the terminal device sets different priorities for different types of applications according to preset rules, etc.

[0037] For a better understanding of the above process, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic diagram of the display of the terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the folding screen includes a first screen and a second screen. Notification message A1 and notification message A2 are displayed on the first screen, and notification message B1, notification message B2, notification message B3, and notification message B4 are displayed on the second screen. Notification message A1 and notification message A2 are notification messages of the first type of applications, and notification message B1, notification message B2, notification message B3, and notification message B4 are notification messages of the second type of applications. The priority of the first type of applications is higher than that of the second type of applications. And, the first screen can be the display screen that the user operates more frequently, that is, the main display screen, and the second screen can be the secondary display screen.

[0038] Moreover, during working hours, the first screen can always display relatively important notification messages, and the number of notification messages on the second screen can also be displayed on the first screen, so as to prompt the user how many unread notification messages there are.

[0039] In this way, when the folding screen is in the unfolded state, the notification messages of the first type of applications are displayed on the first screen, and the notification messages of the second type of applications are displayed on the second screen, which can facilitate the user to quickly read important notifications and improve the display effect of the notification messages of the terminal device.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned terminal device can be a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile internet device (MID), or a wearable device, etc.

[0041] An information display method according to an embodiment of the present invention detects the state of the folding screen; if the folding screen is in an unfolded state, display notification messages of a first type of application on the first screen and display notification messages of a second type of application on the second screen; wherein, the folding screen includes the first screen and the second screen, and the priority of the first type of application is higher than the priority of the second type of application. In this way, if the folding screen is in an unfolded state, display notification messages of the first type of application on the first screen and display notification messages of the second type of application on the second screen, thereby improving the display effect of the notification messages of the terminal device.

[0042] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a flowchart of the information display method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a terminal device with a folding screen. The main difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that in this method, the first screen is determined by collecting the eye feature information of the user. As Figure 3 shown, it includes the following steps:

[0043] Step 301, detect the state of the folding screen.

[0044] In this embodiment, the state of the above-mentioned folding screen can be an unfolded state or a folded state. Detecting the state of the folding screen can be performed when there is a notification message in the terminal device, or it can also be performed when the user actively views and opens the notification message interface, etc., and this embodiment does not make a limitation on this.

[0045] Step 302, collect the eye feature information of the user.

[0046] In this embodiment, collecting the eye feature information of the user can be to collect the eye feature information of the user through the camera of the terminal device.

[0047] Step 303, determine the visual focus of the user according to the eye feature information.

[0048] In this embodiment, after determining the visual focus of the user according to the eye feature information, the visual focus can be used for the next steps.

[0049] Step 304, determine the display screen where the visual focus is located as the first screen.

[0050] In this embodiment, determining the display screen where the visual focus is located as the first screen can thus display more important content on the first screen.

[0051] Step 305: If the folding screen is in an unfolded state, notification messages of the first category of applications are displayed on the first screen, and notification messages of the second category of applications are displayed on the second screen, wherein the folding screen includes the first screen and the second screen, and the priority of the first category of applications is higher than the priority of the second category of applications.

[0052] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned unfolded state can be understood as a state where the angle between the first screen and the second screen of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a preset value, and the folded state can be understood as a state where the angle between the first screen and the second screen of the terminal device is less than the preset value. The above-mentioned first category applications and second category applications can be applications that come with the terminal device, or they can also be third-party applications downloaded by the terminal device, etc. The priority of the above-mentioned first category applications is higher than that of the second category applications, which can be that the user sets different priorities for the first category applications and the second category applications, or the terminal device sets different priorities for different categories of applications according to preset rules, etc.

[0053] In this embodiment, since the first screen is the display screen where the visual focus is located, the notification messages of the first category of applications with relatively high priority are displayed on the first screen, so that the user can quickly view relatively important notification messages.

[0054] Optionally, after detecting the state of the folding screen, the method further includes:

[0055] If the folding screen is in a folded state, displaying notification messages of the first category of applications on the first screen, and not displaying notification messages on the second screen;

[0056] Alternatively, if the folding screen is in the folded state, notification messages of the first category of applications are displayed on both the first screen and the second screen.

[0057] In this embodiment, if the folding screen is in the folded state, notification messages of the first category of applications are displayed on the first screen, and notification messages are not displayed on the second screen. In this way, in the folded state, less important notification messages are ignored, so that the terminal device only displays notification messages of applications with high priority, making the display of the terminal device more concise and more targeted.

[0058] In this embodiment, if the folding screen is in the folded state, notification messages of the first type of applications are displayed on both the first screen and the second screen. In this way, when in the folded state, notification messages of the first type of applications are displayed on both the first screen and the second screen, enabling the user to view the notification messages of applications with high priority, that is, some relatively important notification messages, no matter which side of the terminal device is seen. Thus, it is convenient to prompt the user to view relatively important notification messages without having to flip the terminal device, saving the user's operations and making the user's operations more convenient.

[0059] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned first screen can be the display screen where the user's visual focus lies, facilitating the user to quickly view relatively important notification messages. For a better understanding of the above process, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic diagram of the display of the terminal device provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Figure 4 In, the folding screen of the terminal device is in the folded state, and at this time, the display screen that the user can see is the first screen, and the second screen is folded to the side facing away from the user. It can be seen that notification messages A1 and A2 are displayed on the first screen, and the applications corresponding to notification messages A1 and A2 are applications with relatively high priority. Since the second screen is folded to the side facing away from the user, no notification messages may be displayed on the second screen, or notification messages A1 and A2 may also be displayed on the second screen. This embodiment does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0061] Optionally, after in the case where the folding screen is in the unfolded state, notification messages of the first type of applications are displayed on the first screen and notification messages of the second type of applications are displayed on the second screen, the method further includes:

[0062] Receiving an input from the user for a target message on a first target screen;

[0063] Managing the target message according to the parameters of the input;

[0064] wherein the first target screen belongs to one of the first screen and the second screen.

[0065] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned first target screen can be the first screen or the second screen. The above input can be a swipe input, a long press input, a click input, a double click input, etc. Of course, in addition to these inputs, there can also be some other inputs, and this embodiment does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0066] In this embodiment, the parameters of the input can have various forms. For example, when the input is a swipe input, the parameter can be the direction of the swipe input; when the input is a long press input, the parameter can be the pressing time or the pressing force of the long press input, etc.

[0067] In this embodiment, there are various ways to manage the target message according to the input parameters. For example, the parameter can be the sliding direction. When the sliding direction is to the left, the target message can be deleted. When the sliding direction is to the right, the priority of the application corresponding to the target message can be changed, and so on. Or, the parameter can be the pressing duration. When the pressing duration is less than the preset duration, the target message can be deleted. When the pressing duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, the priority of the application corresponding to the target message can be changed, and so on.

[0068] In this embodiment, the target message can be managed through simple input, which is convenient for users to quickly manage the target message.

[0069] Optionally, the parameter includes the sliding direction, and the management of the target message according to the parameter includes:

[0070] If the sliding direction is the first direction, the target message is deleted;

[0071] If the sliding direction is the second direction, the priority of the application corresponding to the target message is changed to the priority of the application corresponding to the second target screen, and the target message is displayed on the second target screen;

[0072] Wherein, the second target screen belongs to one of the first screen and the second screen, and the first target screen is different from the second target screen.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first direction may not point to a display screen. The second direction may point to a display screen, and the priority of the application corresponding to the target message can be changed to the priority of the application corresponding to the display screen pointed to by the second direction, and the target message is displayed on the display screen pointed to by the second direction.

[0074] For a better understanding of the above process, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram of the display of the terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 5 shown, the folding screen includes a first screen and a second screen. Notification messages A1 and A2 are displayed on the first screen, and notification messages B1, B2, B3, and B4 are displayed on the second screen. Notification messages A1 and A2 are notification messages of the first type of application, and notification messages B1, B2, B3, and B4 are notification messages of the second type of application. The priority of the first type of application is higher than that of the second type of application.

[0075] When the user needs to delete the notification message A1, the user can slide the notification message A1 to the left to delete the notification message A1. When the user deems the notification message A1 unimportant, the user can slide the notification message A1 to the right to lower the priority of the application corresponding to the notification message A1 and display the notification message A1 on the second screen.

[0076] Of course, the user can also operate on multiple notification messages. For example, when sliding the notification messages B1 and B2 to the left, the priorities of the applications corresponding to the notification messages B1 and B2 can be increased, and the notification messages B1 and B2 can be displayed on the first screen. When sliding the notification messages B1 and B2 to the right, the notification messages B1 and B2 can be deleted.

[0077] When the folding screen of the terminal device is in the folded state, different inputs can also be used to delete or manage the target message. Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 the schematic diagram of the display of the terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 6 shown, the folding screen of the terminal device is in the folded state, and at this time, the display screen that the user can see is the first screen, and the second screen is folded from the right side to the side facing away from the user. The notification messages A1 and A2 are displayed on the first screen, and the applications corresponding to the notification messages A1 and A2 are applications with higher priorities.

[0078] When the user slides the notification message A1 to the left, the notification message A1 can be deleted. When the user slides the notification message A1 to the right, the priority of the application corresponding to the notification message A1 can be lowered, and the notification message A1 can be displayed on the second screen.

[0079] Of course, the user can also operate on multiple notification messages. For example, when the user slides the notification messages A1 and A2 to the left, the notification messages A1 and A2 can be deleted. When the user slides the notification messages A1 and A2 to the right, the priorities of the applications corresponding to the notification messages A1 and A2 can be lowered, and the notification messages A1 and A2 can be displayed on the second screen.

[0080] In this embodiment, the user can delete the target message through simple operations or change the priority of the application corresponding to the target message, which provides convenience for subsequent reading.

[0081] An information display method according to an embodiment of the present invention detects the state of the folding screen; collects the eye feature information of the user; determines the visual focus of the user according to the eye feature information; determines the display screen where the visual focus is located as the first screen; if the folding screen is in the unfolded state, display the notification messages of the first type of applications on the first screen and display the notification messages of the second type of applications on the second screen, where the folding screen includes the first screen and the second screen, and the priority of the first type of applications is higher than the priority of the second type of applications. In this way, if the folding screen is in the unfolded state, the notification messages of the first type of applications are displayed on the first screen and the notification messages of the second type of applications are displayed on the second screen, thereby improving the display effect of the notification messages of the terminal device. Moreover, the first screen is the display screen where the visual focus of the user is located, so that it is convenient for the user to quickly view the relatively important notification messages.
