Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a method and electronic device for displaying a target symbol. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of electronic device-based communication technology, users can use electronic devices to communicate socially in more ways. For example, when communicating through electronic devices, users can send visual emotional symbols, such as Moji symbols, in addition to sending information such as text, pictures, voice or video. Users can express corresponding emotions or meanings by sending specific Moji symbols. For example, the smiley face symbol can represent laughter or happiness, and the cake symbol can represent food or birthdays.

[0003] Since the Moji symbols currently received by users are chosen by the other party to send, the Moji symbols received by users express the emotions or meanings currently conveyed by the other party, which limits the application scenarios that Moji is suitable for. Summary of the Invention

[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying target symbols and an electronic device, which can push one or more target symbols indicating the user's status information to the user on the outer screen of the folding screen to convey the user's status information to the user, thereby improving the intelligence of the electronic device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying a target symbol, which can be applied to an electronic device including a folding screen, wherein the folding screen includes at least an outer screen and an inner screen, and the outer screen and the inner screen are facing each other. The method includes: in a folded state, displaying a target symbol on the outer screen, where the target symbol is one or more emoticons, and the target symbol is used to indicate the user's status information; in response to the folding screen changing from a folded state to an unfolded state, displaying an interface corresponding to the target symbol on the inner screen.

[0007] In this solution, an electronic device including a folding screen can display at least one emoticon as a target symbol on the outer screen to convey the user's status information to the user through the at least one target symbol. For example, information such as the current weather, time, schedule, and suggestions for the user. In addition, the electronic device can display the interface corresponding to the target symbol on the inner screen in response to the folding screen changing from a folded state to an unfolded state. The target symbol display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can realize intelligent communication between the electronic device and the user by displaying the target information, thereby improving the intelligence of the electronic device.

[0008] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible design method, in response to the folding screen changing from a folded state to an unfolded state, an interface corresponding to the target symbol is displayed on the inner screen, including: in response to the folding screen changing from a folded state to an unfolded state, the target symbol is displayed on the inner screen; in response to the user's first operation on the target symbol, the interface corresponding to the target symbol is displayed on the inner screen.

[0009] In this solution, in response to the foldable screen transitioning from the folded state to the unfolded state, the electronic device may not directly display the interface corresponding to the target symbol. Instead, the target symbol may be displayed on the inner screen first, and then, in response to the user's first operation on the target symbol, the interface corresponding to the target symbol may be displayed on the inner screen. This avoids the inconvenience caused by the electronic device automatically jumping to the interface corresponding to the target symbol when the user unfolds the foldable screen for other reasons (for example, checking unread messages, surfing the Internet, etc.).

[0010] In combination with the first aspect, in another possible design method, the target symbol is generated based on the first information, the first information includes one or more sub-information, and the one or more sub-information is one or more information of the collected user personal information, social information or social information; displaying the target symbol on the external screen includes: displaying one or more target symbols on the external screen based on the one or more sub-information.

[0011] In this solution, the electronic device may generate a corresponding target symbol according to one sub-information, may generate multiple corresponding target symbols according to one sub-information, or may generate a corresponding target symbol according to multiple sub-information.

[0012] In combination with the first aspect, in another possible design, the emoticons include a first emoticon indicating an emotion and a second emoticon indicating an event, and the user's status information includes the user's emotional information and the user's behavioral information.

[0013] In combination with the first aspect, in another possible design method, the interface corresponding to the target symbol is displayed on the inner screen, including: displaying on the inner screen an interface including the first information based on which the target symbol is generated; or, displaying on the inner screen an interface of an application corresponding to the first information based on which the target symbol is generated.

[0014] It is understandable that the interface corresponding to the target symbol may also be any interface that the user can associate with the target symbol.

[0015] In combination with the first aspect, in another possible design method, if the interface corresponding to the target symbol includes multiple interfaces, then displaying the interface corresponding to the target symbol on the inner screen includes: displaying multiple interfaces on the inner screen at the same time; or, automatically polling and displaying each of the multiple interfaces on the inner screen; or, displaying one of the multiple interfaces on the inner screen, and switching to display other interfaces of the multiple interfaces in response to the user's second operation.

[0016] That is to say, when the target symbol corresponds to multiple interfaces, these multiple interfaces can be displayed at the same time. It is understandable that in this case, these multiple interfaces are correspondingly shrunk or cropped. In other cases, the electronic device only displays one of the multiple interfaces at a time, and each of the multiple interfaces is displayed in sequence through user switching or automatic polling.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect, in another possible design, the method further includes: in the folded state, in response to the user's third operation on the target symbol displayed on the external screen, displaying an interface corresponding to the target symbol on the external screen.

[0018] In combination with the first aspect, in another possible design, the method further includes: before displaying at least one target symbol, starting a first function, the first function being used to convey user status information to the user by displaying the target symbol.

[0019] In combination with the first aspect, in another possible design, the method further includes: in response to the folding screen changing from a folded state to an unfolded state, adjusting the direction of the target symbol displayed on the external screen so that the target symbol is displayed in a forward direction.

[0020] When the folding screen is unfolded from the folded state, the electronic device can adjust the direction of the target symbol so that the target symbol remains displayed in the forward direction, making it easier for the user to view the target symbol.

[0021] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising a folding screen, a memory, and one or more processors; the folding screen comprises at least an outer screen and an inner screen, the outer screen and the inner screen are opposite to each other, and the folding screen, the memory, and the processor are coupled; the memory is used to store computer program code, the computer program code comprises computer instructions, and when the processor executes the computer instructions, the electronic device executes: in a folded state, a target symbol is displayed on the outer screen, the target symbol is one or more emoticons, and the target symbol is used to indicate the user's status information; in response to the folding screen changing from a folded state to an unfolded state, an interface corresponding to the target symbol is displayed on the inner screen.

[0026] In combination with the second aspect, in another possible design method, if the interface corresponding to the target symbol includes multiple interfaces, then displaying the interface corresponding to the target symbol on the inner screen includes: displaying multiple interfaces on the inner screen at the same time; or, automatically polling and displaying each of the multiple interfaces on the inner screen; or, displaying one of the multiple interfaces on the inner screen, and switching to display other interfaces of the multiple interfaces in response to the user's second operation.

[0027] In combination with the second aspect, in another possible design method, the electronic device further performs: in the folded state, in response to the user's third operation on the target symbol displayed on the external screen, displaying the interface corresponding to the target symbol on the external screen.

[0053] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this embodiment, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0054] Embodiments of the present application provide a method for displaying visual emotional symbols, which can be applied to an electronic device with a foldable screen. The foldable screen can be folded to form at least two screens. For example, the foldable screen can be folded along a folding edge or folding axis to form a first screen and a second screen. In other words, the at least two screens include the first screen and the second screen.

[0055] The folding screens in the embodiments of the present application can be divided into two categories. One category is a folding screen that folds up and down (referred to as a vertical folding screen), and the other category is a folding screen that folds left and right (referred to as a horizontal folding screen). Among them, the folding screen that can be folded to form a first screen and a second screen is taken as an example. After the vertical folding screen is folded, the first screen and the second screen can be opposite to each other or opposite to each other. After the horizontal folding screen is folded, the first screen and the second screen can be opposite to each other or opposite to each other. The following description is based on the example that the first screen and the second screen are opposite to each other after the vertical folding screen and the horizontal folding screen are folded, that is, the description is based on the example that the vertical folding screen and the horizontal folding screen are both folded inward.

[0056] For example, see Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of the product form of an electronic device 100 with a vertically folding screen provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 (a) is a schematic diagram of the front view of the vertically folding screen when it is fully unfolded. Figure 1 (b) is a schematic diagram of the back of the vertical folding screen when it is fully unfolded. The vertical folding screen can be divided into screen A (i.e., the first screen) and screen B (i.e., the second screen) along the folding edge. Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 Folding the direction 101a and 101b shown in (b) can form Figure 1 The vertical folding screen in the folded state shown in (c) is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown in (c) of FIG, after the folding screen of the electronic device 100 is completely folded, screen A and screen B are opposite to each other and are invisible to the user. At this time, the user can see screen C on the back of the vertically folding screen.

[0057] For another example, please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a schematic diagram of the product form of an electronic device 100 with a horizontally foldable screen provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 (a) is a schematic diagram of the horizontal folding screen when it is fully unfolded. The horizontal folding screen can be folded along the folding edge according to Figure 2 The direction 201a and 201b shown in (a) are folded to form Figure 2 The horizontal folding screen can be folded along the folding edge according to the following method: Figure 2 The direction 202a and 202b shown in (b) are further folded to form Figure 2 The folding screen shown in (c) is in the folded state. Figure 2 As shown in (c), after the folding screen of the electronic device 100 is fully folded, screen A and screen B are opposite to each other and are invisible to the user. Figure 2 The black line 203 shown in (c) is a line on the contact surface of screen A and screen B. The user can see screen C on the back of the horizontally folding screen.

[0058] It should be noted that, optionally, after the vertical folding screen and the horizontal folding screen are folded inward, a display screen can be set on the back of the first screen or the second screen, which can be called a third screen or an external screen. The third screen can occupy a part of the back of the screen, for example, Figure 1 As shown in (c) in FIG, a portion of the folded screen can display screen C (i.e., the third screen). The third screen can also be a full screen, for example, Figure 2 As shown in (c), the folding screen in the folded state can display screen C (i.e., the third screen). The embodiment of the present application does not limit the size of the third screen.

[0059] It is understood that for electronic devices with this type of inward-folding folding screen, when the folding screen is in the unfolded state, the interface can be displayed on the inner screen (i.e., the screen composed of the first screen and the second screen), or on the outer screen (i.e., the third screen), or on both the inner and outer screens; when the folding screen is in the folded state, the interface can be displayed on the outer screen. On the outer screen, the electronic device can display content in the form of text, visual emotional symbols, pictures, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0060] In some embodiments, a camera may be provided in the external screen. The camera may be a hole-punch camera, a pop-up camera, or an under-screen camera. The number of cameras may be one or more. This is not limited in the present embodiment of the application. Of course, one or more cameras may also be provided in the non-external screen area on the back of the electronic device. For example, Figure 1 The camera in (c) can be a hole-punch camera or an under-screen camera. Optionally, the under-screen camera can be located below the screen in a direction perpendicular to the screen.

[0061] In some embodiments, the electronic device can collect the user's biometric information through a camera. For example, the camera can collect a user's facial image. In other embodiments, the electronic device can be provided with a fingerprint sensor below the third screen to collect the user's fingerprint through the fingerprint sensor. In this way, when the folding screen of the electronic device is in the folded state, the electronic device can also collect the user's biometric information to unlock the electronic device, eliminating the need for the user to unfold the folding screen before unlocking the electronic device, thereby making it more convenient for the user to unlock the electronic device.

[0062] Generally speaking, the angle α between the first screen and the second screen of the above-mentioned folding screen (including the vertical folding folding screen or the horizontal folding folding screen) has a value range of [0°, 180°]. In an embodiment of the present application, if α∈[0°, P], the electronic device can determine that the folding screen is in a folded state; if α∈(P, 180°], the electronic device can determine that the folding screen is in an unfolded state. Alternatively, if α∈[0°, P), the electronic device can determine that the folding screen is in a folded state; if α∈[P, 180°], the electronic device can determine that the folding screen is in an unfolded state. Wherein, P is a preset angle threshold. P can be determined based on the usage habits of a large number of users using the folding screen; or, P can be set by the user in the electronic device. In some other embodiments, the folding angle of the folding screen is [0°, 360°] or [180°, 360°].

[0063] In some embodiments, according to the usage habits of most users, when the angle α between the first screen and the second screen is greater than 90°, the user is more likely to want to use the first screen and the second screen as a whole (i.e., as a complete display screen). Therefore, the preset angle threshold P in the embodiment of the present application can be greater than 90°. The value range of the preset angle threshold P can be (90°, 180°). For example, the preset angle threshold P can be 100°, 120°, 135°, 140°, 145° or 150°, etc.

[0064] It should be noted that the at least two screens formed after the folding screen in the embodiment of the present application is folded can be multiple independent screens, or a complete screen with an integrated structure, which is just folded into at least two parts.

[0065] For example, the foldable screen can be a flexible foldable screen. The flexible foldable screen includes a folding edge made of a flexible material. Part or all of the flexible foldable screen is made of a flexible material. When the flexible foldable screen is folded, the at least two screens formed are a complete integrated screen, but are folded into at least two parts.

[0066] For another example, the foldable screen may be a multi-screen foldable screen. The multi-screen foldable screen may include multiple (two or more) screens. These multiple screens are multiple independent display screens. These multiple screens may be connected in sequence via folding axes. Each screen may rotate about the folding axis to achieve folding of the multi-screen foldable screen.

[0067] The implementation of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] The controller may be the nerve center and command center of the electronic device 100. The controller may generate an operation control signal according to the instruction operation code and the timing signal to complete the control of fetching and executing instructions.

[0072] Processor 410 may also include a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in processor 410 is a cache memory. This memory can store instructions or data that have just been used or are being recycled by processor 410. If processor 410 needs to use the same instruction or data again, it can directly access the memory. This avoids duplicate accesses, reduces processor 410 latency, and thus improves system efficiency.

[0073] In some embodiments, the processor 410 may include one or more interfaces. The interfaces may include an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface, an inter-integrated circuit sound (I2S) interface, a pulse code modulation (PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART) interface, a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI), a general-purpose input / output (GPIO) interface, a subscriber identity module (SIM) interface, and / or a universal serial bus (USB) interface.

[0074] It is understood that the interface connection relationship between the modules illustrated in this embodiment is merely an illustrative illustration and does not constitute a structural limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also adopt different interface connection methods from the above embodiments, or a combination of multiple interface connection methods.

[0075] The charging management module 440 is configured to receive charging input from a charger. The charger can be either a wireless charger or a wired charger. In some wired charging embodiments, the charging management module 440 can receive charging input from the wired charger via the USB interface 430. In some wireless charging embodiments, the charging management module 440 can receive wireless charging input via the wireless charging coil of the electronic device 100. While charging the battery 442, the charging management module 440 can also provide power to the electronic device via the power management module 441.

[0076] The power management module 441 is used to connect the battery 442, the charging management module 440, and the processor 410. The power management module 441 receives input from the battery 442 and / or the charging management module 440 and provides power to the processor 410, the internal memory 421, the external memory, the display 494, the camera 493, and the wireless communication module 460. The power management module 441 can also be used to monitor parameters such as battery capacity, battery cycle count, and battery health status (leakage, impedance). In some other embodiments, the power management module 441 can also be set in the processor 410. In other embodiments, the power management module 441 and the charging management module 440 can also be set in the same device.

[0077] The wireless communication function of the electronic device 100 can be implemented through the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the mobile communication module 450, the wireless communication module 460, the modem processor and the baseband processor.

[0078] Antenna 1 and Antenna 2 are used to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in electronic device 100 can be used to cover a single or multiple communication frequency bands. Different antennas can also be reused to improve antenna utilization. For example, antenna 1 can be reused as a diversity antenna for a wireless local area network. In other embodiments, the antennas can be used in conjunction with a tuning switch.

[0079] The mobile communication module 450 can provide solutions for wireless communications including 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G applied to the electronic device 100. The mobile communication module 450 may include at least one filter, a switch, a power amplifier, a low noise amplifier (LNA), etc. The mobile communication module 450 can receive electromagnetic waves from the antenna 1, and filter, amplify, and process the received electromagnetic waves, and transmit them to the modulation and demodulation processor for demodulation. The mobile communication module 450 can also amplify the signal modulated by the modulation and demodulation processor, and convert it into electromagnetic waves for radiation through the antenna 1. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 450 can be set in the processor 410. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 450 can be set in the same device as at least some of the modules of the processor 410.

[0080] The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used to modulate the low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used to demodulate the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then transmits the demodulated low-frequency baseband signal to the baseband processor for processing. After being processed by the baseband processor, the low-frequency baseband signal is passed to the application processor. The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio device (not limited to the speaker 470A, the receiver 470B, etc.) or displays an image or video through the display screen 494. In some embodiments, the modem processor may be an independent device. In other embodiments, the modem processor may be independent of the processor 410 and be provided in the same device as the mobile communication module 450 or other functional modules.

The wireless communication module 460 can be one or more devices that integrate at least one communication processing module. The wireless communication module 460 receives electromagnetic waves via the antenna 2, frequency modulates and filters the electromagnetic wave signals, and sends the processed signals to the processor 410. The wireless communication module 460 can also receive the signal to be sent from the processor 410, frequency modulate it, amplify it, and convert it into electromagnetic waves for radiation through the antenna 2.

[0082] In some embodiments, antenna 1 of electronic device 100 is coupled to mobile communication module 450, and antenna 2 is coupled to wireless communication module 460, so that electronic device 100 can communicate with a network and other devices via wireless communication technology. The wireless communication technology may include global system for mobile communications (GSM), general packet radio service (GPRS), code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), time-division code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA), long term evolution (LTE), BT, GNSS, WLAN, NFC, FM, and / or IR technology. The GNSS may include a global positioning system (GPS), a global navigation satellite system (GLONASS), a Beidou navigation satellite system (BDS), a quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS) and / or a satellite based augmentation system (SBAS).

[0083] Electronic device 100 implements display functionality through a GPU, display screen 494, and an application processor. A GPU is a microprocessor for image processing that connects display screen 494 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. Processor 410 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or modify display information.

[0084] The display screen 494 is used to display images, videos, etc. The display screen 494 is the above-mentioned outward folding screen. Alternatively, the display screen 494 may include the above-mentioned foldable first screen (for example, Figure 2 A screen shown in (b) in FIG) and a second screen (eg, Figure 2 The inner folding screen of the B screen shown in (b) of FIG, and the third screen (for example, Figure 2 (screen C shown in (c)).

[0085] Display screen 494 includes a display panel. The display panel can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), a MiniLED, a MicroLED, a Micro-oLed, or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED). In the embodiment of the present application, display screen 494 may also include an external screen.

[0086] The electronic device 100 can implement a shooting function through an ISP, a camera 493, a video codec, a GPU, a display screen 494, and an application processor.

[0087] The ISP processes data fed back by camera 493. For example, when taking a photo, the shutter is opened, and light is transmitted through the lens to the camera's photosensitive element. The light signal is converted into an electrical signal, which is then passed to the ISP for processing and converted into a visible image. The ISP can also perform algorithmic optimization on image noise, brightness, and skin tone. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure and color temperature of the captured scene. In some embodiments, the ISP can be located within camera 493.

[0088] The camera 493 is used to capture still images or videos. The object generates an optical image through the lens and projects it onto 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 light signal into an electrical signal, and then passes the electrical signal to the ISP for conversion 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 an image signal in a standard RGB, YUV or other format. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include 1 or N cameras 493, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0089] 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 electronic device 100 selects a frequency point, the digital signal processor is used to perform Fourier transform on the frequency point energy.

[0090] Video codecs are used to compress or decompress digital video. Electronic device 100 may support one or more video codecs. This allows electronic device 100 to play or record videos in various encoding formats, such as Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) 1, MPEG2, MPEG3, and MPEG4.

[0091] The NPU is a neural network (NN) computing processor. Drawing on the structure of biological neural networks, such as the transmission patterns between neurons in the human brain, it rapidly processes input information and can continuously self-learn. The NPU can enable intelligent cognitive applications in electronic device 100, such as image recognition, face recognition, speech recognition, and text comprehension.

[0092] The external memory interface 420 can be used to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to expand the storage capacity of the electronic device 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 410 via the external memory interface 420 to implement data storage functions. For example, files such as music and videos can be stored on the external memory card.

[0093] The internal memory 421 can be used to store computer executable program code, which includes instructions. The processor 410 executes various functional applications and data processing of the electronic device 100 by running the instructions stored in the internal memory 421. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the processor 410 can display corresponding display content on the display screen 484 (i.e., the folding screen) in response to the user's operation on the display screen 494 (i.e., the folding screen) by executing the instructions stored in the internal memory 421. The internal memory 421 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. Among them, the program storage area may store an operating system, an application required for at least one function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc. The data storage area may store data created during the use of the electronic device 100 (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.), etc. In addition, the internal memory 421 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash storage (UFS), etc.

[0094] The electronic device 100 can implement audio functions such as music playback and recording through the audio module 470 , the speaker 470A, the receiver 470B, the microphone 470C, the headphone jack 470D, and the application processor.

[0095] The audio module 470 is used to convert digital audio information into analog audio signals for output, and also to convert analog audio input into digital audio signals. The audio module 470 can also be used to encode and decode audio signals. In some embodiments, the audio module 470 can be located within the processor 410, or some of its functional modules can be located within the processor 410. The speaker 470A, also known as the "speaker," is used to convert electrical audio signals into sound signals. The electronic device 100 can listen to music or make hands-free calls through the speaker 470A. The receiver 470B, also known as the "earpiece," is used to convert electrical audio signals into sound signals. When the electronic device 100 receives a call or voice message, the user can hold the receiver 470B close to their ear to receive the voice. The microphone 470C, also known as the "microphone," is used to convert sound signals into electrical signals. When making a call, sending a voice message, or triggering a function on the electronic device 100 using a voice assistant, the user can speak near the microphone 470C to input the sound signal. The electronic device 100 may be provided with at least one microphone 470C. In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may be provided with two microphones 470C, which can not only collect sound signals but also implement noise reduction. In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may be provided with three, four, or more microphones 470C to collect sound signals, reduce noise, identify sound sources, implement directional recording, and the like.

[0096] Pressure sensor 480A is used to sense pressure signals and convert them into electrical signals. In some embodiments, pressure sensor 480A can be located on display screen 494. There are many types of pressure sensors 480A, such as resistive, inductive, and capacitive. A capacitive pressure sensor can include at least two parallel plates made of conductive material. When force is applied to pressure sensor 480A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. Electronic device 100 determines the intensity of the pressure based on this change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to display screen 494, electronic device 100 detects the intensity of the touch operation based on pressure sensor 480A. Electronic device 100 can also calculate the location of the touch based on the detection signal from pressure sensor 480A. In some embodiments, touch operations applied to the same touch location but with different touch intensities can correspond to different operation instructions. For example, when a touch operation with an intensity less than a first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, an instruction to view short messages is executed. When a touch operation with an intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, an instruction to create a new short message is executed.

[0097] The gyroscope sensor 480B can be used to determine the motion posture of the electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the angular velocity of the electronic device 100 around three axes (i.e., x, y, and z axes) can be determined by the gyroscope sensor 480B. The gyroscope sensor 480B can be used for anti-shake shooting. For example, when the shutter is pressed, the gyroscope sensor 480B detects the angle of the electronic device 100 shaking, calculates the distance that the lens module needs to compensate based on the angle, and allows the lens to offset the shaking of the electronic device 100 through reverse movement to achieve anti-shake. The gyroscope sensor 480B can also be used for navigation and somatosensory game scenes. In an embodiment of the present application, the display screen 494 of the electronic device 100 can be folded to form multiple screens. Each screen (for example, the first screen, the second screen, and the third screen) can include a gyroscope sensor 480B for measuring the orientation of the corresponding screen (i.e., the direction vector of the orientation). In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 can determine the angle between adjacent screens based on the measured angular change of the orientation of the first screen and the second screen. The electronic device 100 may also determine the orientation of the displayed content based on the measured angular changes of the orientations of the first screen, the second screen, and the third screen.

[0098] For example, the gyro sensor 480B of the third screen measures the direction vector of the screen in the coordinate system of the gyro sensor where the screen is located. Figure 4 In the example, the direction in which the four cameras in the third screen are above the third screen is recorded as the positive direction, and the direction in which the four cameras in the third screen are below the third screen is recorded as the negative direction. When the folding screen is in the unfolded state, the direction vector measured by the gyroscope sensor 480B in the third screen is the positive direction, and the expression displayed on the third screen is as follows: Figure 4 When the folding screen is in the folded state, the direction vector measured by the gyroscope sensor 480B in the third screen is in the reverse direction, and the expression displayed in the third screen is as follows: Figure 4 In other words, the third screen can adjust the direction of the content displayed on the third screen based on the direction vector measured by the gyroscope sensor 480B on the third screen, thereby preventing the content from being upside down and making it easier for the user to view the content displayed on the third screen. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also be provided with a posture sensor (not shown in the figures), which can also adjust the direction of the displayed content by detecting the current direction of the electronic device 100.

[0099] The air pressure sensor 480C is used to measure air pressure. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 calculates the altitude using the air pressure value measured by the air pressure sensor 480C to assist in positioning and navigation.

[0100] The accelerometer 480E can detect the magnitude of the acceleration of the electronic device 100 in various directions (generally three axes). When the electronic device 100 is stationary, the magnitude and direction of gravity can be detected. It can also be used to identify the posture of the electronic device and applied to applications such as horizontal and vertical screen switching and pedometers. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the display screen 494 of the electronic device 100 can be folded to form multiple screens. Each screen may include an accelerometer 480E for measuring the orientation of the corresponding screen (i.e., the direction vector of the orientation).

[0101] Distance sensor 480F is used to measure distance. Electronic device 100 can measure distance using infrared or laser. In some embodiments, when photographing a scene, electronic device 100 can use distance sensor 480F to measure distance to achieve fast focusing.

[0102] The proximity light sensor 480G may include, for example, a light emitting diode (LED) and a light detector, such as a photodiode. The light emitting diode may be an infrared light emitting diode. The electronic device 100 emits infrared light outward through the light emitting diode. The electronic device 100 uses a photodiode to detect infrared reflected light from nearby objects. When sufficient reflected light is detected, it can be determined that there is an object near the electronic device 100. When insufficient reflected light is detected, the electronic device 100 can determine that there is no object near the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can use the proximity light sensor 480G to detect when the user holds the electronic device 100 close to the ear to talk, so as to automatically turn off the screen to save power. The proximity light sensor 480G can also be used in leather case mode and pocket mode to automatically unlock and lock the screen.

[0103] Ambient light sensor 480L is used to sense ambient light brightness. Electronic device 100 can adaptively adjust the brightness of display screen 494 based on the perceived ambient light brightness. Ambient light sensor 480L can also be used to automatically adjust white balance when taking photos. Ambient light sensor 480L can also work with proximity light sensor 480G to detect whether electronic device 100 is in a pocket to prevent accidental touches.

[0104] The fingerprint sensor 480H is used to collect fingerprints. The electronic device 100 can use the collected fingerprint characteristics to implement fingerprint unlocking, access application locks, fingerprint photography, fingerprint call answering, etc.

[0105] Touch sensor 480K, also known as a "touch panel." Touch sensor 480K can be disposed on display screen 494. Touch sensor 480K and display screen 494 form a touch screen, also known as a "touch screen." Touch sensor 480K is used to detect touch operations applied thereto or in the vicinity thereof. The touch sensor can transmit the detected touch operations to an application processor to determine the type of touch event. Visual output related to the touch operations can be provided via display screen 494. In other embodiments, touch sensor 480K can also be disposed on the surface of electronic device 100, at a location different from that of display screen 494.

[0106] Keys 490 include a power button, a volume button, etc. Keys 490 may be mechanical keys or touch keys. Electronic device 100 may receive key inputs and generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of electronic device 100.

[0107] Motor 491 can generate vibration prompts. Motor 491 can be used for incoming call vibration prompts, and can also be used for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations acting on different applications (such as taking pictures, audio playback, etc.) can correspond to different vibration feedback effects. For touch operations acting on different areas of the display screen 494, motor 491 can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Different application scenarios (for example: time reminders, receiving messages, alarm clocks, games, etc.) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect can also support customization.

[0108] Indicator 492 can be an indicator light, which can be used to indicate charging status, power changes, messages, missed calls, notifications, etc.

[0109] The methods in the following embodiments can all be implemented in the electronic device 100 having the above hardware structure.

[0110] The software system of the electronic device 100 can adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-kernel architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the present application, the Android system with a layered architecture is used as an example to illustrate the software structure of the electronic device 100.

[0111] Figure 5 1 is a software structure diagram of the electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The layered architecture can divide the software into several layers, each with a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into three layers, from top to bottom: the application layer (referred to as the application layer), the application framework layer (referred to as the framework layer), and the kernel layer (also known as the driver layer).

[0112] The application layer can include a series of application packages. Figure 5 As shown, the application layer may include multiple application packages such as Application 1 and Application 2. For example, the application package may include applications such as Camera, Gallery, Calendar, Call, Map, Navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, Music, Video, Short Message, and Desktop Launcher.

[0113] The framework layer provides application programming interface (API) and programming framework for the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions. Figure 5 As shown, the framework layer may include a window manager service (WMS) and an activity manager service (AMS), etc. Optionally, the framework layer may also include a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, etc. (not shown in the drawings).

[0114] The window manager (WMS) is used to manage window programs. It can obtain the display screen size, determine whether a status bar is present, lock the screen, take screenshots, and more. In an embodiment of the present application, when the foldable screen is folded, the WMS can also obtain the size of the third screen to display relevant content on the third screen. The activity manager (AMS) is responsible for managing activities, starting, switching, and scheduling various components in the system, as well as managing and scheduling applications.

[0115] The kernel layer is the layer between the hardware and software. It includes at least the display driver, camera driver, audio driver, and sensor driver. The kernel layer is the layer between the hardware and software. It may include the display driver, input / output device drivers (e.g., keyboard, touch screen, headphones, speakers, microphones, etc.), camera driver, audio driver, and sensor driver.

[0116] The following will use the aforementioned electronic device as a mobile phone, and the foldable screen of the mobile phone is the aforementioned vertical foldable screen, and the foldable screen in the folded state as an example to specifically illustrate the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application. It is understood that when the vertical foldable screen is folded inward, the first screen and the second screen are opposite each other and are invisible to the user. In the folded state, content is displayed on the outer screen (i.e., the third screen or the C screen).

[0117] In an embodiment of the present application, if the user wants the mobile phone to display visual emotional symbols on the screen to convey status information related to the user himself, such as the user's current mood or behavior, etc., the user can turn on the first function on the mobile phone, and accordingly, the mobile phone can turn on the first function in response to the user's opening operation. Among them, the first function is used to make the mobile phone display a target symbol to convey status information related to the user himself to the user. Visual emotional symbols can also be called emoticons. In some embodiments, the emoticons may include a first emoticon and a second emoticon, wherein the first emoticon indicates the user's emotion, for example, the first emoticon may be a "smiley face" symbol, a "crying" symbol, or an "angry" symbol, etc., which express the user's emotion; the second emoticon indicates the user's behavior, for example, the second emoticon may be an "airplane" symbol, which may indicate that the user is about to travel, and the second emoticon may also be a "cake" symbol, which may indicate that the user needs to eat some food.

[0118] In some embodiments, the user can enable the first function through system settings. Figure 6 As shown, in Figure 6 In the interface shown in (a) of FIG, the mobile phone can respond to the user's click operation on the "settings" icon and display the following Figure 6 In the interface shown in (b), the user can select the control of "Show visual emotional symbols" to enable this function. Of course, the user can also enable the first function through other methods such as voice and gestures, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0119] In other embodiments, the user can also enable the first function through a system application or a third-party application. Figure 7 In the interface shown in (a), the mobile phone can respond to the user's click operation on the "visual emotion symbol" icon and display the following Figure 7 The interface shown in (b) in FIG. A pop-up window is displayed in the interface, asking the user whether to display the visual emotion symbol on the screen. If the user selects "Yes", it means turning on the first function. Optionally, after the mobile phone opens a specific application (for example, a visual emotion symbol application), the user can also turn on the first function in the settings of the application without directly displaying a pop-up window for inquiry. Of course, the user can also open a specific application and turn on the first function in the application through other methods such as voice and gestures, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0120] In some other embodiments, the mobile phone automatically turns on the first function by default. That is, the mobile phone can display visual emotional symbols on the screen to convey status information related to the user to the user after leaving the factory.

[0121] When the first function is enabled, the mobile phone may collect first information. In some embodiments, the first information may be any information that the mobile phone can obtain. In other embodiments, the first information may be user personal information, social information, or social information. For example, the first information may include information related to the user or the surrounding natural and social environment. For example, the first information may include user personal information, mobile phone system information, or application information obtained by the mobile phone.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first information may be information obtained by the mobile phone from the system or a third-party application. For example, the first information may be time information, location information, or weather information obtained by the mobile phone, or may be chat history obtained from a communication application, itinerary information obtained from a travel application, or news information obtained from a news application.

[0123] In other embodiments, the first information may be information input by the user obtained by the mobile phone. For example, the first information may be personal information (including age, gender, birthday, or preferences, etc.) input by the user or schedule information input by the user. This embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0124] It is understandable that the first information may include one or more sub-information, which may be one or more of time, location, weather, schedule, geo-fence data, program usage history, recent news or social hot spots.

[0125] The mobile phone may collect the first information at different times. In some embodiments, the mobile phone may periodically collect the first information. For example, the mobile phone may collect the first information every two hours. If the first information includes multiple sub-information, the mobile phone may periodically collect each sub-information in sequence. If a sub-information in the first information has not been updated, the mobile phone may not update that sub-information in the first information. In other embodiments, the mobile phone may also collect the first information when it detects an update to the first information. For example, if the mobile phone detects a breaking news item, the mobile phone may collect information about the breaking news item to update the first information.

[0126] The mobile phone can obtain the first information through various channels. In some embodiments, the mobile phone can obtain the first information from a memory. In other embodiments, the mobile phone can also obtain the first information from an application. For example, the mobile phone can obtain weather information from a "weather" application, or obtain the user's browsing history from a "browser" application.

[0127] In some embodiments, the information type of the first information can be preset. For example, a user can pre-select the information type that can be used as the first information on their mobile phone. If the information types selected by the user in advance as the first information include time, location, weather, and schedule, the mobile phone can collect one or more of the time, location, weather, and schedule information to determine the target symbol. In other words, if the information type of the first information is preset, the mobile phone only collects information of these types and does not collect other types of information.

[0128] The mobile phone can determine the target symbol to push to the user based on the collected first information. The target symbol can convey status information related to the user. For example, the target symbol can remind the user of the current weather, time, schedule, precautions, etc., or it can also reflect the user's mood, allowing the user to adjust and improve their daily life and work arrangements and status based on the target symbol. It can also be considered that the mobile phone can determine the target symbol to push based on one or more sub-information in the collected first information.

[0129] In some embodiments, the number of target symbols pushed by the mobile phone to the user may be a default number, for example, the mobile phone displays one target symbol at a time by default. In other embodiments, the number of target symbols pushed by the mobile phone to the user may also be set in advance by the user. For example, if the user sets the number of target symbols to 2, the mobile phone will push 2 target symbols to the user each time. Optionally, the number of target symbols pushed by the mobile phone to the user may also be adjusted by the user. For example, the user can change the number of target symbols displayed each time in the mobile phone. In some further embodiments, the data of target symbols pushed by the mobile phone to the user may also be adjusted by the mobile phone according to the current amount of information. For example, if the current amount of information that the mobile phone can obtain is small, then the target symbols pushed to the user will be small; if the current amount of information that the mobile phone can obtain is large, then the target symbols pushed to the user will be large. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the setting method of the number of target symbols and the number of target symbols.

[0130] Typically, the number of pieces of information used by the mobile phone to determine the target symbol matches the number of target symbols determined. For example, the mobile phone may determine one target symbol based on one sub-information in the first information; or the mobile phone may determine N target symbols based on N sub-information in the first information, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0131] The following describes the rules for a mobile phone to determine a target symbol by taking the mobile phone determining one target symbol each time as an example.

[0132] In an embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone can determine a target symbol each time based on a sub-information in the first information (such as time, location, weather, schedule, geo-fence data, program usage history, recent news or social hot spots, etc.).

[0133] In some embodiments, if the first information includes multiple sub-information, the mobile phone may sort each sub-information in the first information in a specific order, and sequentially determine each target symbol corresponding to each sub-information.

[0134] Optionally, the mobile phone can sort the sub-information in the first information based on the order in which it was obtained, and sequentially determine the corresponding target symbols. For example, if the mobile phone first obtains the time information in the first information, it will first determine a target symbol based on the time information. Later, if the mobile phone obtains schedule information in the first information, it can determine another target symbol based on the schedule information. In other words, the mobile phone sequentially determines a corresponding target symbol based on each sub-information obtained.

[0135] Alternatively, the mobile phone can sort the sub-information according to the priority order of each information type in the first message, and determine the corresponding target symbols in sequence. This priority order can be a default one or set by the user as needed. For example, the user can set the priority order of information types based on the relevance of each sub-information to the user personally. Information types with greater personal relevance have higher priority, while information types with greater relevance to social attributes or social properties have lower priority. If the user sets the first information on the mobile phone to include time, location, weather, schedule, social hot spots, and recent news, the priority of each information type in the first message from high to low is: weather, time, schedule, location, social hot spots, and recent news. It can be seen that social hot spots and recent news are less relevant to the user personally, so they have lower priority. In this way, the mobile phone can determine the corresponding target symbols according to the weather, time, schedule, location, social hot spots, and recent news in the first message.

[0136] In other embodiments, the mobile phone may also select a sub-information from the first information based on the scenario to determine the target symbol corresponding to the sub-information. For example, if the mobile phone determines that it is currently commuting time, that is, if the user is commuting, the mobile phone may obtain information related to road conditions, determine the corresponding target symbol, and push it to the user. For example, based on information about current traffic congestion, the mobile phone may push a "red light" symbol as the target symbol to the user.

[0137] After the mobile phone determines the target symbol, it can display the target symbol on the screen. The mobile phone can display each target symbol according to different rules.

[0138] In some embodiments, the mobile phone can display each target symbol on the screen in sequence according to the order in which each target symbol is determined. For example, after the mobile phone determines the corresponding target symbols based on the sub-information in the first information, it can poll and display each target symbol in the order in which each target symbol is determined, such as polling and displaying one target symbol every 10 minutes. In other embodiments, the mobile phone displays on the screen the first target symbol determined within a preset time. For example, the mobile phone can display on the screen the target symbol generated by the mobile phone according to the first sub-information obtained by the mobile phone within the preset time, or the mobile phone can display on the screen the target symbol generated by the mobile phone according to the sub-information with the highest priority within the preset time. Optionally, the preset time can also be the cycle for the mobile phone to update the first information.

[0139] It should be noted that when a mobile phone selects a sub-information from a first message based on a scenario and determines the target symbol corresponding to the sub-information, regardless of whether the mobile phone is previously displaying each target symbol in sequence or the first target symbol determined within a preset time, the mobile phone may stop displaying the target symbol and directly display the target symbol corresponding to the message selected in the scenario. This is to ensure the timeliness of the target symbol corresponding to a specific scenario.

[0140] The embodiment of the present application is described as an example in which the folding screen of a mobile phone is in a folded state and the target symbol is displayed on the outer screen. It is understandable that the target symbol can also be displayed in the unfolded state of the mobile phone.

[0141] In some embodiments, when the mobile phone is in the unfolded state, the inner screen can display the target symbol, and the outer screen can also display the target symbol. In other embodiments, when the mobile phone is in the unfolded state, the inner screen and the outer screen can display the target symbol at the same time.

[0142] In the embodiment of the present application, the target symbol pushed to the user by the mobile phone may include various forms of moji symbols. For example, Figure 8 This section shows some examples of a mobile phone pushing a single target symbol to a user. If the current weather is sunny, the mobile phone can push a "sun" symbol as the target symbol based on the weather information. If the mobile phone determines that today is the user's birthday based on the user's personal information, it can push a "cake" symbol as the target symbol. If the mobile phone determines that the user has a flight tomorrow based on the schedule information, it can push an "airplane" symbol as the target symbol.

[0143] In some embodiments, after the mobile phone pushes a target symbol to the user, the user can directly enter the interface corresponding to the target symbol in response to the user's operation. The interface corresponding to the target symbol can be an interface that includes the first information used to determine the target symbol, or it can be the interface of an application that provides the first information used to determine the target symbol. In other embodiments, the interface corresponding to the target symbol can also be the interface of any application that the user can associate with the target symbol.

[0144] For example, if the target symbol is "airplane," the phone can respond to the user's operation and directly enter an interface containing flight information or an interface of an application that provides flight information, such as the interface of an airline application. Alternatively, the phone can also respond to the user's operation and enter a calendar application interface, a travel application interface, or a travel application interface.

[0145] For another example, if the target symbol is "sun", the mobile phone can directly enter the interface of the weather application, the interface for purchasing sunscreen products, or the interface of clothing guide, etc. in response to the user's operation.

[0146] For another example, if the target symbol is "cake", the mobile phone can directly enter the calendar interface, the birthday cake reservation interface or the interface including the birthday schedule input by the user in advance in response to the user's operation.

[0147] In the embodiment of the present application, the user's operations that cause the mobile phone to directly display the interface corresponding to the target symbol may include different types.

[0148] In some embodiments, when the folding screen of the mobile phone is in the folded state and the outer screen of the mobile phone displays the target symbol, the mobile phone can respond to the user's operation of unfolding the folding screen from the folded state and display the interface corresponding to the target symbol on the inner screen of the unfolded folding screen of the mobile phone. Figure 9A As shown, when the folding screen of the mobile phone is in the folded state, the "airplane" symbol pushed by the mobile phone is displayed on the external screen of the mobile phone (such as Figure 9A As shown in (a) in FIG), after the user unfolds the foldable screen from the folded state, the mobile phone can respond to the unfolding operation by displaying an interface containing flight information on the inner screen of the mobile phone (such as Figure 9A (as shown in (b) in the figure).

[0149] In other embodiments, when the folding screen of the mobile phone is in the folded state and the outer screen of the mobile phone displays the target symbol, the mobile phone can respond to the user's operation (also called the third operation) and display the interface corresponding to the target symbol on the outer screen of the mobile phone. Figure 9B As shown, the user clicks the "airplane" symbol displayed on the outer screen of the mobile phone (as shown in Figure 9B After that, the mobile phone can display the interface containing flight information on the external screen (as shown in (a) in the figure). Figure 9BIt is understandable that the third operation can be any operation such as a single-click operation, a double-click operation, a long press operation, a voice operation, or a gesture operation of the target symbol displayed on the external screen by the user. This application does not limit the type of the third operation.

[0150] In some other embodiments, if the folding screen of the mobile phone is in the unfolded state and the inner screen of the mobile phone displays the target symbol, the mobile phone can respond to the user's operation and display the interface corresponding to the target symbol on the inner screen of the mobile phone. Optionally, the inner screen of the mobile phone can display the target symbol in the lock screen state. At this time, the operation can be an unlocking operation, a click operation, or a gesture operation. Figure 9C As shown, the phone displays an "airplane" symbol on the inner screen, and the user slides the inner screen of the phone to unlock (as shown in Figure 9C After that, the phone's internal screen displays an interface containing flight information (as shown in (a) in the figure). Figure 9C As shown in (b) in the figure). Optionally, the inner screen of the mobile phone can also display the target symbol in the status bar in the unlocked state. At this time, the operation can be any operation such as single-click operation, double-click operation, long-press operation, voice operation or gesture operation on the target symbol. Figure 9D As shown, the status bar of the phone's inner screen displays an "airplane" symbol (such as Figure 9D If the user clicks the "airplane" symbol in the status bar, the phone's internal screen will display an interface containing flight information (such as Figure 9D This application does not limit the type of the above operation.

[0151] Optionally, the mobile phone may further display a target symbol on the inner screen in response to the user unfolding the foldable screen from a folded state. Furthermore, the mobile phone may display an interface corresponding to the target symbol in response to any operation (also referred to as a first operation) such as a click, long press, voice operation, or gesture operation of the target symbol displayed on the inner screen by the user.

[0152] According to the above description, after the mobile phone pushes the target symbol to the user, it can jump to the interface corresponding to the target symbol in response to the user's operation. In other words, the mobile phone can interact with the user by pushing the target symbol.

[0153] The above description is based on the mobile phone pushing a single target symbol to the user each time. It is understood that a single target symbol can represent limited content. To convey richer content to the user through visual emotional symbols, the mobile phone can also simultaneously determine multiple target symbols corresponding to multiple sub-information in the first information and push these multiple target symbols to the user simultaneously.

[0154] In some embodiments, the mobile phone can push "dual target symbol" information based on the two sub-information in the first information. For example, the mobile phone can simultaneously determine the two target symbols based on time and location. For another example, the mobile phone can also simultaneously determine the two target symbols based on location and weather, or the mobile phone can also simultaneously determine the two target symbols based on location and social hot spots. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to the combination of the two sub-information.

[0155] The following description is based on an example in which the folding screen of a mobile phone is in a folded state and a target symbol is displayed on the external screen of the mobile phone. Figure 10 Figure 2 shows some examples of a mobile phone pushing two target symbols to a user. Figure 10 As shown in (a) in the figure, the mobile phone can push two related target symbols to the user at the same time according to the schedule and time. If the mobile phone is based on the reading schedule in the schedule and the current time in the afternoon, it can push the two symbols "reading" and "milk tea" to the user as target symbols, indicating that the user should take a proper rest when reading. Figure 10 As shown in (b) in the figure, the mobile phone can push two related target symbols to the user at the same time based on social hot spots and email information. If the mobile phone pushes the two symbols "wearing a mask" and "portable phone" as target symbols to the user based on the social hot spots of the new crown epidemic and the email information received requiring remote work, it means that the user should pay attention to health during the epidemic and needs to work remotely. Figure 10 As shown in (c) of Figure 1, the phone can also push two related target symbols to the user simultaneously based on the user's personal information and app usage history. If the phone determines that the user is single based on the user's personal information and that the user has recently used chat apps frequently based on the history, the phone can use these two pieces of information to push the "Single Dog" and "Love Heart" symbols to the user as target symbols, indicating that the user is single but may meet someone they like in the near future, and expressing good wishes to the user.

[0156] In other embodiments, the mobile phone can also push three or more target symbols to the user at the same time based on more sub-information. This application does not limit the number of target symbols.

[0157] Optionally, when the external screen of the mobile phone displays multiple target symbols, the mobile phone can also respond to the user's operation of unfolding the folding screen from a folded state and display the interface corresponding to the multiple target symbols on the internal screen of the mobile phone.

[0158] In some embodiments, the mobile phone may display an interface corresponding to the first target symbol among multiple target symbols. For example, if the target symbol displayed on the external screen of the mobile phone is Figure 10 As shown in (a) in , then Figure 11As shown, in response to the user unfolding the foldable screen from the folded state, the phone can display the schedule interface corresponding to the "reading" symbol on the phone's inner screen, or it can display the reading task corresponding to the "reading" symbol. For example, the phone's inner screen can directly display the content of the book the user is reading. For another example, if the target symbol displayed on the phone's outer screen is as follows Figure 10 As shown in (b) in , then Figure 12 As shown, in response to the user unfolding the foldable screen from its folded state, the phone can display a social hotspot interface corresponding to the "wear a mask" symbol on the phone's internal screen, such as the interface of a news app. The phone can also respond to the user unfolding the foldable screen from its folded state by displaying a camera interface based on the "wear a mask" symbol on the phone's internal screen to capture the user's facial image. If it detects that the user is not wearing a mask, the phone will prompt the user to put on a mask to protect themselves.

[0159] In other embodiments, the mobile phone can display an interface corresponding to one of the target symbols in response to the user's selection operation. For example, the user can select (for example, click) one of the target symbols displayed on the outer screen of the mobile phone as needed, and then the mobile phone can display the interface corresponding to the target symbol selected by the user on the inner screen of the mobile phone in response to the user's operation of unfolding the folding screen from the folded state. For example, if the target symbol displayed on the outer screen of the mobile phone is Figure 10 As shown in (c), after the user clicks on the "love heart" symbol on the outer screen and unfolds the folding screen, the mobile phone can respond to the user's operation and display the chat record interface corresponding to the "love heart" symbol on the inner screen of the mobile phone, and can also display the push interface of love suggestions to help users better develop love.

[0160] In some other embodiments, the mobile phone can also display multiple interfaces corresponding to multiple target symbols at the same time. For example, if the target symbol displayed on the external screen of the mobile phone is Figure 10 As shown in (a) in the figure, the mobile phone can simultaneously display the schedule interface corresponding to the "reading" symbol and the time interface corresponding to the "milk tea" symbol on the inner screen of the mobile phone in response to the user's operation of unfolding the foldable screen from the folded state. Optionally, the above schedule interface and time interface can be displayed on the same screen, for example, Figure 13 As shown in (a) in the figure, the upper and lower parts of the mobile phone's internal screen display the above-mentioned schedule interface and time interface respectively, or the left and right parts of the mobile phone's content display the above-mentioned schedule interface and time interface respectively. Optionally, the mobile phone can also alternately display the above-mentioned schedule interface and time interface in response to the user's switching operation (also called the second operation). For example, the mobile phone's internal screen can display the schedule interface in full screen, and the mobile phone can respond to the user's left and right sliding operation (such as Figure 13 (b) in the figure), sliding up and down or clicking on the edge of the screen, etc., the time interface is displayed on the phone screen (as shown in Figure 13Alternatively, the mobile phone may also automatically poll and display the above schedule interface and time interface.

[0161] According to the above description, after the mobile phone pushes multiple target symbols to the user, it can also jump to the interface corresponding to one or more target symbols among the multiple target symbols in response to the user's operation, thereby achieving a better interactive experience between the mobile phone and the user through the target symbols.

[0162] The above description uses the example of a mobile phone determining a target symbol based on a sub-message. The number of target symbols pushed simultaneously to the user by the mobile phone is consistent with the number of pieces of information the mobile phone relies on. In other embodiments, the number of target symbols may not be consistent with the information data the mobile phone relies on. The following description uses the example of a mobile phone with its foldable screen in the folded state, with the target symbols displayed on the outer screen.

[0163] In some embodiments, the mobile phone can push a target symbol to the user based on multiple sub-information. For example, the mobile phone can push a target symbol to the user based on the time, the user's personal preferences, and the program usage history. If the time is close to the National Day holiday, the user likes to travel to the seaside, and the user has recently searched for travel guides to the seaside, the mobile phone can push the target symbol to the user based on this information. Figure 14 The "beach" symbol shown in (a) is used as the target symbol, prompting the user to go to the beach for vacation during the upcoming long vacation.

[0164] Optionally, the mobile phone can still respond to the user's operation of unfolding the folding screen and display the interface corresponding to the above-mentioned target symbol on the inner screen of the mobile phone. Figure 14 As shown in (a) in , then Figure 15 As shown, when the foldable screen of the mobile phone is unfolded, the inner screen of the mobile phone can display a calendar interface to facilitate the user to determine the travel date; the mobile phone can also display the interface of the travel application to facilitate the user to book tickets and accommodations; the mobile phone can also display the interface of the travel application to provide the user with more travel tips, etc. In some cases, the mobile phone can also display the above-mentioned calendar interface, travel application interface, and travel application interface at the same time, which is not limited to this embodiment of the application.

[0165] In other embodiments, the mobile phone can push multiple target symbols to the user based on a sub-information. For example, the mobile phone can push target symbols to the user based on the user's work status information. If the user has been working for a long time, the mobile phone can push the following target symbols to the user at the same time: Figure 14The "game console" and "running" symbols shown in (b) are used as target symbols, suggesting that users can play games or exercise appropriately to relax and avoid the physical and mental fatigue caused by long hours of work. At this time, the mobile phone can respond to the user's operation of unfolding the foldable screen and display an interface for recording the user's working time on the mobile phone's internal screen. Optionally, the mobile phone can also respond to the user's operation of unfolding the foldable screen and display a sports application interface or a game application interface on the mobile phone's internal screen.

[0166] For another example, the mobile phone can push multiple target symbols to the user based on the user's work content and make suggestions for the user's work. Figure 14 As shown in (c) in the figure, if the user's work content is user research, the mobile phone can recommend to the user based on the user's work content that when conducting user research, the user should take good notes, observe the details carefully, and transmit the observed details. Therefore, the four symbols of "briefcase", "camera", "eyes" and "speaker" can be pushed to the user as target symbols at the same time to make work suggestions to the user. At this time, the mobile phone can respond to the user's operation of unfolding the folding screen and display the work content details interface on the mobile phone's internal screen. Optionally, the mobile phone can also respond to the user's operation of unfolding the folding screen and display an interface including work suggestions on the mobile phone's internal screen.

[0167] Optionally, the mobile phone can also provide life suggestions to the user by pushing multiple target symbols. For example, the mobile phone can push multiple target symbols to the user based on the user's emotional state. Figure 14 As shown in (d) in the figure, if the phone detects that the user is currently in a passionate relationship, it can simultaneously push the symbols "love," "rose," and "champagne" to the user as target symbols. This not only indicates the user's current passionate relationship status, but also suggests, through the target symbols, that the user send more gifts to the other party during the passionate relationship, eat at a romantic restaurant, etc. At this time, the phone can respond to the user's operation of unfolding the foldable screen by displaying the interface of the dating software on the phone's internal screen. Optionally, the phone can also respond to the user's operation of unfolding the foldable screen by displaying an interface for reserving gifts or restaurants on the phone's internal screen.

[0168] As can be seen, because target symbols represent relatively broad and general content, they can convey richer meanings by combining them with the user's imagination. Target symbols not only indicate the user's current status but also provide relevant suggestions. This allows the phone to interact intelligently with the user, enhancing the user experience.

[0169] Optionally, the mobile phone can also push more than N target symbols to the user based on N sub-information, where N is an integer greater than 1. For example, the mobile phone can push target symbols to the user based on the user's work location and schedule. If the mobile phone learns that the user needs to go to a distant work location for business communication, it can push the following target symbols to the user based on this information: Figure 14 The symbols of "vehicle", "handshake" and "red envelope" shown in (e) are used as target symbols. Among them, the "vehicle" symbol indicates that the workplace is far away, and it is recommended that the user take a taxi to go there. The "handshake" symbol indicates that the schedule is to have business communication with customers. The "red envelope" indicates that the mobile phone infers that the user can get a generous bonus after the communication is successful based on the above information. At this time, the mobile phone can respond to the user's operation of unfolding the folding screen and display the interface of the taxi application on the inner screen of the mobile phone. Optionally, the mobile phone can also respond to the user's operation of unfolding the folding screen and display the interface of the navigation application or the interface of the schedule application on the inner screen of the mobile phone. In addition, the mobile phone can also respond to the user's operation of unfolding the folding screen and display the interface displayed after searching for business communication in the browser on the inner screen of the mobile phone. This embodiment of the application is not limited to this.

[0170] In some embodiments, if the mobile phone pushes multiple target symbols to the user, the multiple target symbols are displayed on the screen simultaneously. In other embodiments, if the screen size is limited, such as the external screen is generally small and cannot display multiple target symbols simultaneously, the multiple target symbols can be displayed in a scrolling manner on the screen.

[0171] It is understandable that the content of the first information may be continuously updated, so the mobile phone can periodically push the target symbol based on the first information to ensure the timeliness of the target symbol. Optionally, the period for the mobile phone to determine the target symbol can be the same as or different from the update period of the first information.

[0172] In some embodiments, if the user has viewed the interface corresponding to the target symbol, for example, the user has clicked on the pushed target symbol, the mobile phone may stop pushing the target symbol. For example, the mobile phone may no longer push the target symbol, or the mobile phone may push a target symbol with different content based on other information.

[0173] In some cases, after the mobile phone determines the target symbol based on the first information, it may display the target symbol in response to a user's wake-up operation. For example, the mobile phone may display the target symbol after the user taps the screen or issues a voice instruction. This can conserve the phone's battery and ensure that the user is not disturbed by push notifications of the target symbol when they do not wish to receive such notifications.

[0174] The above embodiments are described using a foldable screen as an example. It is understood that the methods provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to electronic devices with non-foldable screens. Electronic devices can display target symbols on the lock screen interface, status bar, or in a specific area of ​​the screen to convey status information related to the user.

[0175] Through the method for displaying visual emotional symbols provided by the embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone can push one or more target symbols related to the first information to the user based on the first information obtained. These target symbols can convey status information related to the user himself, for example, they can prompt the user of the user's current status, and can also provide corresponding suggestions and recommendations based on the user's current status. It can also be considered that the mobile phone can provide "care" for the user. Therefore, through the method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone can intelligently push visual emotional symbols to the user, thereby achieving the effect of the mobile phone conveying status information related to the user himself to the user, so that the mobile phone can communicate intelligently with the user. In addition, compared to text, visual emotional symbols can provide users with more imagination space. For example, users can think of birthdays, food or dinners based on the moji expression of "cake". In this way, the method for displaying visual emotional symbols provided by the embodiment of the present application can provide users with richer content and meaning, improve the intelligence of the mobile phone, and improve the user experience.
