Detailed Implementation

[0012] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0013] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0014] The information display method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an information display method provided in an embodiment of this application. The information display method can be applied to an electronic device including a first screen and a foldable second screen, wherein the information display method may include: Step 101: With the second screen in a closed state, receive the first input to the first screen.

[0016] In step 101, the first screen and the second screen can be two screens of the same electronic device. For example, the first screen can be a screen located on the back of the phone, and the second screen can be a foldable screen located on the front of the phone.

[0017] When the second screen is closed, it can receive the user's first input to the first screen.

[0018] The first input can be a user's click on the first screen, a voice command, or a specific gesture. The specific gesture can be determined based on actual usage needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this. The specific gesture in this application embodiment can be any one of a single-click gesture, a swipe gesture, a drag gesture, a pressure-recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area-change gesture, a double-press gesture, or a double-tap gesture. The click input in this application embodiment can be a single-click input, a double-tap input, or any number of clicks, and can also be a long-press input or a short-press input.

[0019] Step 102: In response to the first input, task information of the ongoing task in the target application is displayed on the first screen. The target application is an application running in the background on the electronic device.

[0020] In step 102, it can be understood that when the second screen is closed, the application that the user used before the second screen was closed and has not been closed (i.e., the target application) can usually be running in the background. That is, the target application can be the application running in the background of the electronic device when the second screen is closed.

[0021] Based on this, in response to the first input, task information of the ongoing task in the target application can be displayed on the first screen. This task information can be key information about the ongoing task in the target application; this key information can be system default information for the task, or user-defined information for the task, without specific limitations here. The task information can also be the target application interface corresponding to the ongoing task in the target application.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 When the second screen is in the expanded state, it displays the restaurant's waiting area mini-program. When the second screen is in the closed state, the mini-program runs in the background of the electronic device. In this case, if the user wants to check the waiting status, such as... Figure 3 As shown, users can directly make the first input on the first screen, such as tapping the first screen, which will respond to the first input and display the waiting information (i.e., the task information of the restaurant waiting mini-program in progress) on the first screen.

[0023] It is understood that there can be multiple target applications, and task information for tasks in progress from multiple target applications can be displayed simultaneously on the first screen. Alternatively, only the task information for tasks in progress from one target application can be displayed, and the display of task information for tasks in progress from other target applications can be switched using methods such as swiping or page turning. No specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0024] In this embodiment, the information display method can receive a first input to the first screen while the second screen is closed; in response to the first input, it displays task information of a task in progress within a target application on the first screen. The target application is an application running in the background of the electronic device. Thus, when the second screen is closed, in response to the first input to the first screen, the method displays task information of a target application running in the background of the electronic device on the first screen, achieving the goal of quickly displaying information on the first screen and improving the user's ease of access to information.

[0025] In some embodiments, step 102 above may include: In response to the first input, the target application interface of the target application is displayed on the first screen, and the target application interface includes task information of the task being performed in the target application.

[0026] In this embodiment, in response to a first input, a target application interface, including task information of the ongoing task, can be displayed on the first screen. For example, if the target application is an application being used before the second screen is closed, the target application interface can be the application interface being displayed before the second screen is closed.

[0027] It is understandable that the display area of ​​the first screen is usually smaller than the display area of ​​the second screen in its expanded state. Based on this, the target application interface can be displayed on the first screen by scaling, or a portion of the target application interface can be displayed on the first screen proportionally. Furthermore, it supports swiping or dragging the target application interface to display other parts of the target application interface on the first screen.

[0028] In this way, by directly displaying the target application's interface on the first screen, users can view the complete content of the target application's interface on the first screen, effectively avoiding the problem of incomplete information obtained by users due to only displaying task information of ongoing tasks.

[0029] In some embodiments, the information display method may further include: Receive a second input to the target application interface displayed on the first screen; In response to the second input, execute the application function corresponding to the second input.

[0030] In this embodiment, after the target application interface is displayed on the first screen, a second input from the user to the target application interface displayed on the first screen can be received. The second input can be any click, swipe, or voice input made by the user.

[0031] It can respond to a second input and execute the application function corresponding to the second input. In other words, when the target application's interface is displayed on the first screen, the user can not only view the content of the target application's interface, but also continue to use the target application directly on the first screen.

[0032] In this embodiment, a second input that can execute the corresponding application function can be made directly on the target application interface on the first screen, thereby achieving the purpose of using the target application on the first screen and further improving the ease of operation of the information display process.

[0033] In some embodiments, prior to step 102 above, the information display method may further include: When the second screen is unfolded and the application interface is displayed, receive third input to the application interface; In response to the third input, the application interface is marked, wherein the target application interface includes the marked application interface.

[0034] In this embodiment, to improve the accuracy of the information displayed on the first screen when the second screen is closed, a third input to the application interface can be received while the second screen is open and displaying the application interface. This third input can be a user click on the application interface, a voice command, or a specific gesture. The specific gesture can be determined based on actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not limit its application. The specific gesture in this embodiment can be any one of a single-click gesture, a swipe gesture, a drag gesture, a pressure-recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area-change gesture, a double-press gesture, or a double-tap gesture. The click input in this embodiment can be a single-click input, a double-tap input, or any number of clicks, and can also be a long-press input or a short-press input.

[0035] In response to a third input, the application interface can be marked, and the marked application interface can be identified as the target application interface. In other words, when the second screen is closed, in response to a first input to the first screen, the marked application interface can be displayed on the first screen.

[0036] For example, when the second screen is in the expanded state, it can display application interface 1, application interface 2, and application interface 3. Application interface 2 can be the application interface that receives a third input; that is, application interface 2 is marked. When the second screen is in the closed state, application interface 2 can be displayed on the first screen in response to a first input to the first screen.

[0037] Understandably, multiple application interfaces can be marked, meaning there can be multiple target application interfaces. This way, when displaying the target application interfaces on the first screen, one of the target application interfaces can be displayed first, and other target application interfaces can be switched to be displayed by flipping pages or swiping.

[0038] In this embodiment, the target application interface can be determined based on the user's marking of the application interface displayed on the second screen in the expanded state. This ensures that the target application interface displayed on the first screen is the interface the user wants to view, thus improving the accuracy of information display.

[0039] In some embodiments, step 102 above may include: In response to the first input, task information is determined based on the task being performed in the target application; Task information is displayed on the first screen.

[0040] In this embodiment, in response to a first input, task information can be determined based on the ongoing task in the target application. For example, a mapping table between tasks and task information can be set, where the mapping table can be a system default, a user-defined table, or a table set based on user-defined adjustments to the system default. Task information can be matched from the mapping table based on the ongoing task in the target application and displayed on the first screen.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the task information corresponding to the waiting task can be the two key pieces of information: the number of people waiting in line and the estimated waiting time. Therefore, the number of people waiting in line and the estimated waiting time in the ongoing waiting task can be used as the corresponding task information and displayed on the first screen.

[0042] In this way, key information corresponding to the ongoing task can be displayed as task information on the first screen, so that users can quickly view the key information, effectively reducing the interference of other irrelevant information and improving the efficiency of users viewing information.

[0043] In some embodiments, prior to step 101 above, the information display method may further include: When the second screen is expanded and the target application interface of the target application is displayed, a fourth input to the target application interface is received. In response to the fourth input, the target area is determined from the target application interface; Step 102 above may include: In response to the first input, task information is determined based on the content in the target area and displayed on the first screen.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the second screen is in an expanded state and displays the target application interface of the target application, it can receive a fourth input from the user on the target application interface and, in response to the fourth input, determine a target area from the target application interface. For example, referring to the displayed content of the target application interface, the user can manually select the target area to determine the content the user wants to display on the first screen (i.e., determine the task information to be displayed on the first screen based on the content in the target area). Then, the user's first input on the first screen is received, and, in response to the first input, the task information (i.e., the content in the target area) is displayed on the first screen.

[0045] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The target application interface 401 can be displayed on the expanded second screen. For example, the target application interface 401 can be a meeting interface, which can include meeting-related information (such as meeting topic, participants, meeting time, meeting channel, and personal meeting information), as well as the ongoing video conference and its communication area. To avoid information leakage, in scenarios where the second screen is closed and the user continues to participate through the first screen, only the ongoing video conference can be displayed on the first screen, and other meeting-related information and communication area content can be hidden. Based on this, a fourth input from the user to the meeting interface can be received. In response to the fourth input, the area displaying the ongoing video conference in the meeting interface can be defined as the target area 402. Subsequently, in response to the first input, task information can be determined based on the content in the target area and displayed on the first screen. That is, the ongoing video conference can be displayed on the first screen.

[0046] Understandably, users can continue using the target application based on the task information displayed on the first screen. For example, an ongoing video conference displayed on the first screen could include a microphone icon, which, in response to a click on the microphone icon, allows users to speak or mute during the video conference.

[0047] In this embodiment, the user can select a target area from the target application interface displayed on the expanded second screen based on the content they want to display on the first screen. Only the content within the target area will be displayed on the first screen, thereby avoiding the display of inappropriate content on the first screen. This allows for convenient information viewing while avoiding the risk of privacy leakage.

[0048] In some embodiments, step 102 above may include: In response to the first input, N application identifiers are displayed on the first screen. The N application identifiers are the identifiers of N applications running in the background of the electronic device, where N is a positive integer. Receive the fifth input for the target identifier among N application identifiers; In response to the fifth input, task information of the ongoing task in the target application is displayed on the first screen. The target application is the application corresponding to the target identifier.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the second screen is closed, the number of applications running in the background of the electronic device can be N, where N is a positive integer. Based on this, upon receiving the user's first input to the first screen, the first screen can respond by displaying N application identifiers corresponding to these N applications. For example... Figure 6 As shown, N application identifiers 501 can be displayed on the first screen. The N application identifiers 501 can include "APP1 identifier", "APP2 identifier" and "APP3 identifier".

[0050] The system can receive a fifth input for a target identifier among N application identifiers, and in response to the fifth input, display task information of the ongoing task in the target application corresponding to the target identifier on the first screen. The fifth input can be: a click input from the user on the target identifier, a voice command input from the user, or a specific gesture input from the user; the specific type can be determined according to actual usage needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this. The specific gesture in this application embodiment can be any one of a single-click gesture, a swipe gesture, a drag gesture, a pressure-recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area-change gesture, a double-press gesture, or a double-tap gesture; the click input in this application embodiment can be a single-click input, a double-tap input, or any number of clicks, and can also be a long-press input or a short-press input.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, it can receive a fifth input for "APP2 identifier". At this time, "APP2 identifier" can be identified as the target identifier. The application corresponding to "APP2 identifier" is the target application. In response to the fifth input, the task information of the task being performed in the application corresponding to "APP2 identifier" can be displayed on the first screen.

[0052] In this embodiment, N application identifiers can be displayed on the first screen. In response to a fifth input of a target identifier among the N application identifiers, task information of the ongoing task in the target application corresponding to the target identifier is displayed on the first screen. Thus, based on the user's selection, the displayed task information is the information the user currently wants to view, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the displayed information.

[0053] In some embodiments, the information display method may further include: In response to the first input, the target application is determined from applications running in the background of the electronic device based on the input trajectory of the first input.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first input can be a swipe input, and different input trajectories can correspond to different applications. The target application can be determined from applications running in the background of the electronic device based on the input trajectory of the first input.

[0055] In some examples, different applications can correspond to input tracks associated with their application names. For example, the input track for an application could be the track of the application's name, or a track of the first letter of the application's name. For instance, application A could correspond to the input track of "XX", and application B could correspond to the input track of "YY".

[0056] Understandably, determining the target application from background applications in response to the first input, based on the input trajectory of the first input, may further include: In response to the first input, based on the input trajectory of the first input, it is determined whether the target application is included in the background applications of the electronic device, and the target application matches the input trajectory; if it is determined that the target application is included in the background applications of the electronic device, the task information of the task being performed in the target application is displayed on the first screen; if it is determined that the target application is not included in the background applications of the electronic device, a prompt message is displayed on the first screen, and the prompt message is used to indicate that the information display failed.

[0057] When both application A and application B are running in the background of the electronic device, if the input trajectory of the first input yields a valid letter shape, such as "XX", then in response to the first input, application A can be identified as the target application, and task information of the task being performed in application A can be displayed on the first screen. Similarly, if the input trajectory of the first input yields a letter shape of "YY", then in response to the first input, application B can be identified as the target application, and task information of the task being performed in application B can be displayed on the first screen.

[0058] It is also understandable that if application A runs in the background of the electronic device, while application B does not run in the background of the electronic device, and the letter shape extracted from the input trajectory of the first input is "YY", then in response to the first input, a prompt message indicating that the information display has failed can be displayed on the first screen.

[0059] In this embodiment, the target application can be determined from the background applications in the electronic device based on the input trajectory of the first input, further improving the accuracy of information display.

[0060] The information display method provided in this application can be executed by an information display device.

[0072] In this embodiment, the user can select a target area from the target application interface displayed on the expanded second screen based on the content they want to display on the first screen. Only the content within the target area will be displayed on the first screen, thereby avoiding the display of inappropriate content on the first screen. This allows for convenient information viewing while avoiding the risk of privacy leakage.

[0073] In some embodiments, the display module 702 can also be used to: in response to a first input, display N application identifiers on a first screen, wherein the N application identifiers are identifiers of N applications running in the background of the electronic device, and N is a positive integer; The receiving module 701 can also be used to: receive a fifth input to the target identifier among N application identifiers; The display module 702 can also be used to: in response to a fifth input, display task information of a task in progress in a target application on a first screen, wherein the target application is the application corresponding to the target identifier.
