[0031] So that the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application are more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments of the present application.

[0032] The embodiments of the present application provide a display method of an electronic device, as shown in the accompanying drawings, comprising: Figure 1

[0033] S101, in response to a change of a mode of the electronic device, switching first content displayed by the electronic device to second content, wherein the second content is content associated with the first content.

[0034] In the embodiments, the electronic device can be an electronic device of a normal form or an electronic device of a new form. The electronic device of the normal form can be an electronic device with only one non-foldable display screen, and the electronic device of the new form can be an electronic device with double screens, a foldable screen without an outer screen, a foldable screen with an outer screen, etc.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, the change of the mode of the electronic device can be a change of the form, the placement direction, etc. of the electronic device.

[0036] In some embodiments, the mode of the electronic device includes: a mode formed by the placement direction of the electronic device; and a mode formed by the relative positional relationship of the multiple display screens of the electronic device.

[0037] In one implementation, if the electronic device is an electronic device with a single display screen, the mode of the electronic device can be a mode formed only by the placement direction of the electronic device, for example, a landscape mode and a portrait mode formed by horizontal placement and vertical placement of the electronic device.

[0038] In another implementation, if the electronic device is an electronic device with multiple display screens, the mode of the electronic device can be a mode formed only by the relative positional relationship of the multiple display screens of the electronic device, for example, a notebook mode, a book mode, a tent mode, a booklet mode, etc. formed by different angles between the multiple display screens.

[0039] In another implementation, if the electronic device is an electronic device with multiple display screens, the mode of the electronic device can include both a mode formed by the placement direction of the electronic device and a mode formed by the relative positional relationship of the multiple display screens of the electronic device.

[0040] ​For example, for a dual-screen electronic device, changing the relative positional relationship of the two display screens, for example, changing the included angle between the two display screens, and changing the placement direction of the electronic device can form various modes, which are specifically as shown in Figure 2 1, notebook A mode, 2, notebook B mode, 3, notebook C mode, 4, notepad A mode, 5, notepad B mode, 6, tent mode, 7, booklet mode, 8, AIO A mode, 9, AIO B mode, 10, book mode A, 11, book mode B, and 12, book mode C.

[0041] In this embodiment, by setting the modes of the electronic device to include modes formed by the placement direction of the electronic device and modes formed by the relative positional relationship of the multiple display screens of the electronic device, whether the placement direction of the electronic device changes or the relative positional relationship of the multiple display screens of the electronic device changes, the first content displayed by the electronic device can be switched to the second content, thereby improving the user experience.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first content and the second content displayed by the electronic device include, but are not limited to, a wallpaper when the electronic device is in a locked state, and the second content is associated with the first content.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first content and the second content are associated, which can be that the theme of the first content is the same as that of the second content, and the first content and the second content can be different images of the same theme.

[0044] In this embodiment, the different images of the same theme can be static images or videos, such as animations. By setting the theme of the first content to be the same as that of the second content, the content after switching can remain the same theme, thereby meeting the user's demand for switching the content of the same theme.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first content and the second content are associated, which can be that the specific content of the first content is associated with that of the second content, and the first content and the second content can be images with dynamic changes in content.

[0046] In this embodiment, the images with dynamic changes in content can be static images or videos.

[0047] By setting the content of the first content to dynamically change, the second content after switching can be partially the same as the first content, and partially changed, thereby meeting the user's demand for dynamic changes in content in images.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first content and the second content are associated, which can be that the image features of the first content are associated with those of the second content, and the first content and the second content can be images with associated image features.

[0049] In the embodiment, the image associated with the image feature can be a static image or a video. By setting the image feature of the first content to be associated with the second content, the demand of the user for the image feature association can be met.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first content can be associated with the second content in terms of theme, and the first content and the second content can be images associated with the theme.

[0051] In the embodiment, the image associated with the theme can be a static image or a video. By setting the theme of the first content to be associated with the second content, the demand of the user for the theme association can be met.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first content can be associated with the second content in terms of theme and image feature, and the first content and the second content can be images associated with the theme and the image feature.

[0053] In the embodiment, the image associated with the theme and the image feature can be a static image or a video. By setting the theme and the image feature of the first content to be associated with the second content, the demand of the user for the theme and image feature association can be met.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first content can be associated with the second content in terms of scene, and the first content and the second content can be a panoramic image or a partial image of the panoramic image.

[0055] In the embodiment, the panoramic image and the partial image of the panoramic image can be a static image or a video. By setting the first content and the second content to be a panoramic image or a partial image of the panoramic image, the demand of the user for the transformation of the panoramic image and the partial image of the panoramic image can be met.

[0056] The display method of the electronic device provided in the embodiment can switch the first content displayed by the electronic device to the second content in response to the change of the mode of the electronic device, and the second content is the content associated with the first content. In this way, the electronic device can display different contents associated with each other in different modes, for example, a double-screen or a folding-screen electronic device can display different contents associated with each other in different modes, which can reflect the uniqueness of the display content of the new form electronic device, meet the personalized demand of the display content, and enable the user to have an immersive experience of the display content.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, if the electronic device has a foldable display screen, the mode of the electronic device can include a mode in which the display screen is foldable. For example, for a foldable screen display device, different modes can be formed by different numbers of display areas formed by different folding modes.

[0058] If the mode of the electronic device includes the foldable mode of the display screen, switching the first content displayed by the electronic device to the second content in response to the change in the mode of the electronic device includes: determining the number of display areas and each display area; determining the second content associated with the first content based on the number of display areas and the first content; determining the content matching each display area based on the second content and switching the display.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first content and the second content can be a panoramic image or a partial image of the panoramic image. Wherein, when the display screen of the electronic device is folded to reach the maximum number of display areas, the electronic device displays a panoramic image; when the display screen of the electronic device is folded and the number of display areas is less than the maximum number of display areas, the electronic device displays a partial image of the panoramic image. Therefore, with the change of the display area of the electronic device, the display from a partial image to a panoramic image can be realized, and the display from a panoramic image to a partial image can also be realized.

[0060] In this embodiment, different numbers of display areas correspond to different modes, for example, 1 display area corresponds to mode 1, 2 display areas correspond to mode 2, and 3 display areas correspond to mode 3. By displaying the first content and the number of display areas on the display screen, the corresponding second content under the number of display areas can be determined, and then the content displayed by each display area in the second content is determined and switched, so that the first content can be switched to the second content.

[0061] In specific implementation, for example, for a foldable screen electronic device with a maximum display area of 3, if the electronic device is folded from 1 display area to 2 and 3 display areas, the partial image gradually changes to a panoramic image. For example, originally there is one display area displaying a yellow car, and after being folded into 2 display areas, one display area displays the yellow car and the other display area displays a blue car next to the yellow car. After being folded into 3 display areas, the third display area can display the background next to the blue car. If the number of display areas is changed from 3 to 2 and 1, the panoramic image gradually changes to a partial image.

[0062] In the embodiment, for the foldable-screen electronic device, by determining the number of display areas and each display area, determining the second content associated with the first content based on the number of display areas and the first content, determining the content matched with each display area based on the second content and switching the display, the change from panoramic image to local image or the change from local image to panoramic image can be formed by the change of the number of display areas, so as to provide the immersive experience for the user.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, if the mode of the electronic device includes a foldable display screen mode, the display screen includes a display screen on the first surface and a display screen on the second surface, for example, as shown in Figure 3 the display screen on the first surface is a foldable screen, and the display screen on the second surface is a foldable screen or a non-foldable screen. In response to the change of the mode of the electronic device, the first content displayed by the electronic device is switched to the second content, including: determining the number of display areas of the display screen on the first surface and the number of display areas on the second surface; determining the second content corresponding to each display area on the first surface and the display area on the second surface based on the number of display areas of the display screen on the first surface, the number of display areas on the second surface, and the first content; and switching the first content to the second content.

[0064] In the embodiment, the different number of display areas on the first surface and the second surface corresponds to different modes, for example, the number of display areas on the first surface is 1 and the number of display areas on the second surface is 1, which corresponds to mode 1; the number of display areas on the first surface is 2 and the number of display areas on the second surface is 1, which corresponds to mode 2; the number of display areas on the first surface is 3 and the number of display areas on the second surface is 1, which corresponds to mode 3. By the first content displayed by the display screen and the number of display areas on the first surface and the number of display areas on the second surface, the second content corresponding to each display area on the first surface and the display area on the second surface under the number of display areas on the first surface and the number of display areas on the second surface can be determined and switched, so as to switch the first content to the second content.

[0065] In specific implementation, for example, if the foldable screen on the first surface is one display area and the second surface is a non-foldable screen with only one display area, the foldable screen displays the image of the front charge of the blue car and the yellow car, and the non-foldable screen displays the tail of the blue car and the yellow car or the tail of one of the cars; if the foldable screen has two display areas, one of the display areas of the foldable screen displays the front of the blue car, one of the display areas displays the front of the yellow car, and the non-foldable screen displays the tail of the yellow car.

[0066] In the embodiment, for the folding-screen electronic device, and the electronic device has a display screen of a first surface and a display screen of a second surface, the number of display regions of the display screen of the first surface and the number of display regions of the second surface are determined, the second content corresponding to each display region of the first surface and the display region of the second surface is determined based on the number of display regions of the display screen of the first surface, the number of display regions of the second surface, and the first content, the first content is switched to the second content, and the display content can be changed with the number of display regions of the first surface and the number of display regions of the second surface, thereby improving user experience.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the step S101 of switching the first content displayed by the electronic device to the second content includes: determining a current mode of the electronic device; determining the first content displayed by the electronic device; searching for the second content corresponding to the first content and the current mode from a preset mode-content correspondence relationship; and switching the first content displayed by the display screen of the electronic device to the second content.

[0068] In the embodiment, the preset mode-content correspondence relationship is used, and the second content can be searched from the correspondence relationship based on the current mode of the electronic device and the displayed first content, so that the first content can be quickly switched to the second content.

[0069] In specific implementation, for example, for the electronic device with double display screens, taking a racing theme as an example, it can be preset that in a book C mode, the angle between the double display screens is 180°, the electronic device is placed on a table, and the corresponding second content is a top view of yellow and blue cars at a starting point and ready to start; in an AIO A mode, one of the display screens is supported by a support, the angle between the two display screens is greater than 130° and less than 180°, and the corresponding second content is a view of the yellow car racing ahead of the blue car by half a car body; in a tent mode, the corresponding second content is a view of the yellow car overtaking the blue car on a main display screen, and a view of the yellow car tail seeing the blue car on the other display screen; in a notebook A mode, a notebook B mode, and a notebook C mode, the second content is a view of the blue car overtaking the yellow car and finally winning the championship, and an effect of showing a moment of rushing to a finish line.

[0070] When it is determined that the current mode is the book C mode and the first content is a racing car, the first content displayed by the electronic device is switched to a top view of yellow and blue cars at a starting point and ready to start, as shown in FIG. 8. Figure 4

[0071] ​When it is judged that the current mode is the AIO A mode and the first content is a race, the first content displayed by the electronic device is switched to a view in which a yellow car leads a blue car by half a car body, as shown in FIG. 16A. Figure 5

[0072] When it is judged that the current mode is the tent mode and the first content is a race, the first content displayed by the electronic device is switched to a view in which the yellow car overtakes the blue car on the main display screen, and a view in which the yellow car overtakes the blue car from behind on the other display screen, as shown in FIG. 16B. Figure 6

[0073] When it is judged that the current mode is the notebook A mode, the notebook B mode, and the notebook C mode and the first content is a race, the first content displayed by the electronic device is switched to a view in which the blue car overtakes the yellow car and finally wins the championship, as shown in FIG. 16C. Figure 7

[0074] It should be noted that the embodiments are described by taking the book C mode, the AIO A mode, the tent mode, the notebook A mode, the notebook B mode, and the notebook C mode of the double display screen as examples, but are not limited to the modes. Other modes are also supported. The embodiments are described by taking the race theme as an example, but are not limited to the theme. Other themes can also be preset in the electronic device, for example, a theme in which the disadvantage of the hinge of the double display screen is changed into a part of the background, such as the body of a dragonfly or a butterfly, as shown in FIG. 16D. Figure 8

[0075] In an optional embodiment, the display method of the electronic device further includes: in response to a change in the user's visual angle of the electronic device, determining third content associated with the user's visual angle, and switching the second content displayed by the display screen of the electronic device to the third content, where the third content is content associated with the second content.

[0076] In implementation, the image of the user can be captured by the camera on the electronic device, the visual angle of the user can be determined by analyzing the image of the user, and then the third content associated with the visual angle of the user can be determined based on the current visual angle of the user. The third content is content associated with the second content. The third content and the second content are images of the same theme; or the third content and the second content are images with dynamic changes in content; or the third content and the second content are images associated with a theme and / or images associated with image features; or the third content and the second content are panoramic images or part of the panoramic images.

[0077] In the embodiments, the second content displayed by the display screen is switched to the third content by recognizing the change in the visual angle of the user, different content can be displayed under different visual angles of the user, and the user experience is improved.

[0078] ​​​​In an optional embodiment, the display method of the electronic device further includes: in response to a change in an external condition of the electronic device, switching the second content displayed by the electronic device to fourth content; the fourth content is associated with the current external condition of the electronic device; wherein the external condition of the electronic device includes at least one of a display content switching instruction input by a user, an environment in which the electronic device is located, and a time period in which the electronic device is used.

[0079] In the embodiment, in addition to switching the display content when the mode of the electronic device changes, in order to be more humanized and personalized, the content displayed by the display screen of the electronic device can be switched when the external condition of the electronic device changes. For example, when the user wants to change the theme, the second content can be switched to the fourth content corresponding to the target theme in the display content switching instruction input by the user based on the display content switching instruction input by the user. For another example, when the electronic device changes from the environment at home to the environment at work, the second content can be switched to the fourth content corresponding to the working environment. For another example, when the use time period of the electronic device changes from weekdays to holidays, the second content can be switched to the fourth content corresponding to the holidays.
