[0002] The foldable screen of an electronic device includes an outer screen and an inner screen. The outer screen is the screen that users use when the foldable screen is in the folded state, and the inner screen is the screen that users use more when the foldable screen is in the unfolded state. Users can input the folding of the foldable screen, and after the electronic device is folded, the interface (such as the desktop or the interface of an application program) can be displayed through the outer screen of the electronic device, or users can input the unfolding of the foldable screen, and after the electronic device is unfolded, the interface can be displayed through the inner screen of the electronic device.

[0003] However, in the above method, when the electronic device displays the interface, it determines on which screen the interface is displayed according to the user's folding input or unfolding input, that is, it only displays the interface according to the unfolded state or folded state of the electronic device screen. Therefore, the ways of the electronic device to display the interface on the outer screen and the inner screen are relatively single. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, rather than all, of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. generally belong to the same category, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object may be one or multiple. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0027] Next, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the application interface display method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0028] An electronic device with a foldable screen includes two screens. When the electronic device is folded, the user can use it through the outer screen. When the electronic device is unfolded, the user can use it through the inner screen. Thus, the user can perform folded input or unfolded input on the electronic device to determine the screen for the display interface, that is, the display interface of the electronic device on the outer screen or the inner screen is only related to the folding state of the screen of the electronic device, making the display methods on the inner screen and the outer screen of the electronic device relatively single.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device with a foldable screen can display an icon of a first application in two spatially corresponding positions on a first screen and a second screen in different display states respectively, and receive a first input from a user to the icon of the first application, and display the interface of the first application full screen on a target screen. In this solution, since the electronic device can display the same application icon in different states on different screens, the user can perform a first input on the application icons in different display states in different screens, so that the electronic device can display the application interface indicated by the application icon in the corresponding screen according to the display state of the application icon and the folding state of the electronic device, thus improving the diversity of the ways of displaying the interface on the first screen and the second screen of the electronic device.

[0030] It should be noted that the electronic device described in the embodiment of the present application is an electronic device with a foldable screen, and the foldable screen can include at least two screens. In the present application, only the first screen and the second screen among at least two screens are taken as examples for illustration.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application provides an application interface display method. Figure 1 The flowchart of an application interface display method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the application interface display method provided by the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 to step 204.

[0032] Step 201: The electronic device displays an icon of a first application in a first position on a first screen in a first display state, and displays the icon of the first application in a second position on a second screen in a second display state.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first position and the second position correspond to each other spatially.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device has a foldable screen, which includes a first screen and a second screen. The display surface of the second screen is arranged opposite to a partial display surface of the first screen. The first screen is the inner screen of the foldable screen electronic device, and the second screen is the outer screen of the foldable screen electronic device.

[0035] It should be noted that the display surface of the second screen being arranged opposite to a partial display surface of the first screen can be understood as that the display surface of the second screen and the partial display surface of the first screen are in the same position in space, but the orientations of the display surfaces are different.

[0036] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first display state or the second display state includes at least one of the following: the shape of the application icon, the color of the application icon, and the pattern of the application icon, etc.

[0037] In the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first application is any application on the desktop of the electronic device; for the icon of any application on the desktop, the electronic device can display the icon of the any application in different display states on the first screen and the second screen respectively, so that the icons displayed by the electronic device have diversity.

[0038] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first position and the second position corresponding to each other in space can be understood as spatial position symmetry. For example, there are four positions from left to right on the first screen of the electronic device, namely position 1, position 2, position 3, and position 4, then the four positions from left to right on the second screen are position 4, position 3, position 2, and position 1 respectively.

[0039] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the icon of the above-mentioned first application is a three-dimensional icon, and the three-dimensional application icon has a first display state and a second display state. For example, the application icon in the first display state and the application icon in the second display state are the front and back perspectives of the three-dimensional application icon, that is, the front and back surfaces of the three-dimensional application icon.

[0040] Exemplarily, taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, as shown in (a) of Figure 2 the first screen of the mobile phone includes four positions (position 1, position 2, position 3, and position 4 respectively). The mobile phone can display the icon of the first application in the front display state at position 2 on the first screen, and as shown in (b) of Figure 2 the second screen of the mobile phone includes four positions corresponding to the four positions on the first screen respectively. Therefore, the mobile phone can display the icon of the first application in the reverse display state at position 2 on the second screen.

[0041] Step 202: The electronic device receives a first input from the user for the icon of the first application.

[0042] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first input is a click input, a long-press input, or other special inputs for the icon of the first application. The specific input method can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations.

[0043] Step 203: The electronic device responds to the first input, and determines the target screen according to the display state of the icon of the first application corresponding to the first input and the folding state of the electronic device.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned target screen is the first screen or the second screen.

[0045] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the display state of the icon of the above-mentioned first application can be the first display state or the second display state.

[0046] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the folded state of the above-mentioned electronic device may be an unfolded state or a folded state.

[0047] Optionally, in an implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, the above step 203 may be specifically implemented by the following step 203a or step 203b.

[0048] Step 203a: When the electronic device is in the unfolded state and the icon display state of the first application is the first display state, the electronic device determines the first screen as the target screen.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, the icon of the first application displayed in the first display state is the front icon of the first application, and the first screen is the inner screen of the electronic device.

[0050] It should be noted that when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the user usually prefers to use the unfolded inner screen to view content. Therefore, if the electronic device receives a first input from the user to the front icon of the first application, it can be considered that the user has an immediate need to view the interface of the first application. Therefore, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application on the inner screen.

[0051] Step 203b: When the electronic device is in the unfolded state and the icon display state of the first application is the second display state, the electronic device determines the second screen as the target screen.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the icon of the first application displayed in the second display state is the back icon of the first application, and the second screen is the outer screen of the electronic device.

[0053] It should be noted that when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the user usually prefers to use the unfolded inner screen to view content. Therefore, if the electronic device receives a first input from the user to the back icon of the first application, it can be considered that the user does not have an immediate need to view the interface of the first application. Therefore, the electronic device can run the application interface of the first application on the outer screen, and after the user folds the folding screen to use the outer screen, the electronic device fully displays the interface of the first application on the outer screen.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can receive a first input from the user to the icon of the first application in the first display state or the second display state on the first screen, and combine the folded state of the electronic device to determine the target screen, that is, the electronic device can determine the screen display requirements of the user for the application interface of the first application according to the icon display state of the first application and the folded state of the electronic device, thereby improving the diversity and flexibility of the icon and interface display of the electronic device.

[0055] Optionally, in another implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, step 203 may be specifically implemented by the following step 203c or step 203d.

[0056] Step 203c: When the electronic device is in a folded state and the icon display state of the first application is the first display state, the electronic device determines the second screen as the target screen.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the icon of the first application displayed in the first display state is the front icon of the first application, and the second screen is the outer screen of the electronic device.

[0058] It should be noted that when the electronic device is in a folded state, the user usually uses the folded outer screen to view content. Therefore, if the electronic device receives a first input from the user on the front icon of the first application, it can be considered that the user has an immediate need to view the interface of the first application. Therefore, the interface of the first application is directly displayed on the outer screen.

[0059] Step 203d: When the electronic device is in a folded state and the icon display state of the first application is the second display state, the electronic device determines the first screen as the target screen.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present application, the icon of the first application displayed in the second display state is the reverse icon of the first application, and the first screen is the inner screen of the electronic device.

[0061] It should be noted that when the electronic device is in a folded state, the user usually uses the folded outer screen to view content. Therefore, if the electronic device receives a first input from the user on the first application icon displayed on the reverse side, it can be considered that the user does not have an immediate need to view the interface of the first application. Therefore, the electronic device can first run the application interface of the first application on the inner screen, and after the user opens the folding screen and uses the inner screen, the interface of the first application is fully displayed on the inner screen.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can receive a first input from the user on the icon of the first application in the first display state or the second display state in the second screen, and determine the target screen in combination with the folded state of the electronic device, that is, the electronic device can determine the screen display requirement of the user for the application interface of the first application according to the icon display state of the first application and the folded state of the electronic device, thereby improving the diversity and flexibility of the icon and interface display of the electronic device.

[0063] Step 204: The electronic device fully displays the interface of the first application on the target screen.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can adapt the interface of the first application to be displayed according to the size of the target screen, so that the interface of the first application better adapts to the size of the target screen.

[0065] It can be understood that when the screen state of the folding screen is the unfolded state, if the user makes a first input to the icon of the first application displayed in the front display state on the first screen (inner screen), the electronic device can directly display the interface of the first application full screen on the first screen (inner screen); if the user makes a first input to the icon of the first application displayed in the reverse display state on the first screen (inner screen), the electronic device can start the first application on the second screen (outer screen) and display the interface of the first application full screen. However, since the electronic device is in the unfolded state at this time, the user cannot immediately see the interface of the first application displayed on the second screen. After the user makes a folding input to the electronic device, the electronic device can directly display the interface of the first application full screen on the second screen.

[0066] When the screen state of the folding screen is the folded state, if the user makes a first input to the icon of the first application displayed in the front display state on the second screen (outer screen), the electronic device can directly display the interface of the first application full screen on the second screen (outer screen); if the user makes a first input to the icon of the first application displayed in the reverse display state on the second screen (outer screen), the electronic device can start the first application on the first screen (inner screen) and display the interface of the first application full screen. However, since the electronic device is in the folded state at this time, the user cannot immediately see the interface of the first application displayed on the first screen. After the user makes an unfolding input to the electronic device, the electronic device can directly display the interface of the first application full screen on the first screen.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, since the electronic device can display the same application icon in different states, the user can make a first input to the application icons in different states, so that the electronic device displays the interface of the application in the corresponding screen according to the display state of the application icon and the folding state of the electronic device. That is, when the electronic device displays the interface on each screen, it displays the interface based on the display state of the application icon corresponding to the first input and the folding state of the electronic device. In this way, the diversity of the ways for the electronic device to display the interface on the first screen and the second screen is improved.

[0068] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, in combination with Figure 1 , as Figure 3 shown, after the above step 201, the application interface display method provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes step 301 and step 302.

[0069] Step 301: The electronic device receives a fifth input from the user.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned fifth input is an input to the icon of the first application in the first target display state.

[0071] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned fifth input may be a double-click input or an input in other special display states, used to switch the display state of the icon of the first application. The specific input method can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations.

[0072] Step 302: In response to the fifth input, the electronic device switches the icon of the first application from the first target display state to the second target display state.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first target display state is the first display state, and the above-mentioned second target display state is the second display state; or, the above-mentioned first target display state is the second display state, and the above-mentioned second target display state is the first display state.

[0074] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may adjust the color parameters of the switched application icon. For example, adjust parameters such as the color composition, color saturation, and color brightness of the application icon. Specifically, it can be set according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations here.

[0075] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 2 (b) in Figure 4 As shown in (a) in Figure 4 , the mobile phone displays the reverse icon of the first application on the second screen. The user can perform the fifth input on this reverse icon. As shown in (b) in

[0076] , the reverse icon of the first application is switched to the front icon, and the mobile phone can adjust the color parameters of the switched front icon (for example, change the color composition of the icon). Figure 3 It is shown by taking steps 301 and 302 being executed before step 202 as an example in

[0077] In the embodiments of the present application, the user can switch the display state of the icon of the first application by performing the fifth input on the icon of the first application. Thus, different subsequent services can be provided by the user's input on icons in different display states, enhancing the diversity of the icons displayed on the electronic device; and, the user can reduce the operations of unfolding or folding the electronic device by the fifth input to switch the display state of the icon of the first application, thereby enhancing the convenience of using the first application.

[0078] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, after the above step 201, the application interface display method provided by the embodiments of the present application further includes step 401 and step 402.

[0079] Step 401: The electronic device receives a second input from the user on the icon of the first application.

[0080] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above second input may be a double-click input, a long-press input, or other special inputs to trigger the electronic device to perform different operations according to the display position of the icon of the first application. The specific input method may be determined according to actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0081] Step 402: The electronic device responds to the second input and performs a first operation according to the position of the icon of the first application.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the above first operation includes any one of the following: displaying a target pane; or, displaying at least one identifier related to the first application.

[0083] It can be understood that when the electronic device performs the first operation, displaying the target window or displaying at least one identifier is related to the position of the icon of the first application when the electronic device receives the second input from the user, that is, related to which screen the electronic device displays the icon of the first application on.

[0084] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, when the position of the icon of the first application is the first screen, the electronic device responds to the second input and displays a target pane on the first screen. That is, when the icon of the first application is displayed on the larger inner screen, the second input can trigger the electronic device to display the target pane.

[0085] It should be noted that the above target pane includes at least two sub-panes, and each sub-pane corresponds to a region on the first screen. Each of the above at least one identifier is used to indicate an application function in the first application or to indicate a second application different from the first application.

[0086] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, when the position of the icon of the first application is the second screen, the electronic device responds to the second input and displays at least one identifier related to the first application on the second screen. That is, when the icon of the first application is displayed on the smaller outer screen, the second input can trigger the electronic device to display multiple identifiers.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present application, the user can perform a second input on the icon of the first application in different screens, so that the electronic device performs different operations according to the different display positions of the icon, improving the diversity of the icons displayed on the electronic device, and thus improving the flexibility of the electronic device to display application programs; the electronic device performs different operations to provide different subsequent services for the user, thereby improving the convenience of the user using the first application.

[0088] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, step 402 may be specifically implemented by the following step 402a or step 402b.

[0089] Step 402a: When the position of the icon of the first application is on the first screen, the electronic device displays a target pane on the first screen in response to the second input.

[0090] In the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned target pane includes at least two sub-panes, and each sub-pane corresponds to a region on the first screen respectively.

[0091] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first screen is the inner screen of an electronic device with a folding screen, that is, the screen used by the user when the electronic device is in the unfolded state. It can be understood that the screen display area of the first screen is larger than that of the second screen.

[0092] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned target pane may be a grid of four squares, a nine-square grid, a grid of three squares or other forms of panes, and the specific form is not limited herein.

[0093] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may display the target pane in the form of a floating window in the area corresponding to the icon of the first application on the first screen.

[0094] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 2 in (b), as Figure 5 shown, after the user performs a long press input on the icon of Application 1 in the inner screen of the folding screen mobile phone, the mobile phone can display a target pane in the form of a grid of four squares in the area corresponding to the icon of Application 1 on the first screen, so that the user can input to the sub-panes in the grid of four squares, thereby splitting the screen to display the interface of Application 1.

[0095] It should be noted that the above-mentioned grid of four squares corresponds to the entire inner screen. Since the grid of four squares includes four sub-panes, each sub-pane will correspond to a part of the screen area according to the distribution of the "grid of four squares", that is, the inner screen is evenly divided into 4 regions, and corresponds to the four sub-panes of the grid of four squares one by one.

[0096] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, after the above step 402a, the application interface display method provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes step 501 and step 502.

[0097] Step 501: The electronic device receives a third input from the user for a target sub-pane in a target pane.

[0098] In the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned target sub-pane is one sub-pane or multiple adjacent sub-panes in the target pane.

[0099] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned third input can be a click input or a sliding input by the user on the target sub-pane, so as to trigger the electronic device to display the interface of the first application in the area corresponding to the target sub-pane on the first screen.

[0100] Step 502: In response to the third input, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application in the area corresponding to the target sub-pane on the first screen.

[0101] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can perform interface rendering in the area corresponding to the target sub-pane on the first screen to display the interface of the first application in this area; or, the electronic device can display the interface of the first application in the form of a floating window in the area corresponding to the target sub-pane on the first screen.

[0102] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, after the user makes a third input on the target sub-pane, the electronic device can mark the target sub-pane in a target manner, and the target manner can include at least one of the following: color filling method, border thickening method, method of adding a specific identifier, so as to more intuitively show the selected sub-pane to the user.

[0103] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 5 , as Figure 6 shown, after the user makes a third input on the target sub-pane (i.e., the two right sub-panes) in a target pane in the form of a tic-tac-toe grid, the mobile phone fills the two sub-panes with a preset color to mark them as the selected target sub-panes, and displays the interface of Application 1 in the area corresponding to the target sub-pane on the first screen (i.e., the right half area of the inner screen).

[0104] Another example, if each sub-pane of the tic-tac-toe grid is selected, the interface of the application will be displayed full screen on the entire inner screen; if the two right sub-panes of the tic-tac-toe grid are selected, the interface of the application will be displayed in the right half area of the inner screen; if the two upper sub-panes of the tic-tac-toe grid are selected, the interface of the application will be displayed in the upper half area of the inner screen.

[0105] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, after the interface of the first application is displayed in at least a part of the first screen, the user can continue to input on another application icon to trigger the display of a pane corresponding to the another application icon. The pane includes at least one sub-pane, and each sub-pane in the at least one sub-pane respectively corresponds to a region in the remaining area of the first screen. The remaining area is the area of the first screen except for the area where the interface of the first application is displayed. Thus, the user can input on any sub-pane in the at least one sub-pane to trigger the electronic device to display the interface of the application corresponding to the another application icon in the region corresponding to the any sub-pane.

[0106] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 6 , such as Figure 7 shown, after the interface of Application 1 is displayed in the right half area of the inner screen, the user can input on the icon of Application 2 to trigger the display of multiple panes corresponding to Application 2 in the first screen. After the user inputs on the target sub-pane (i.e., the lower left sub-pane), the interface of Application 2 can be triggered to be displayed in the lower left area of the first screen (1 / 4 area of the screen).

[0107] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, after the electronic device displays the interface of the first application, the user can drag the boundary position to trigger the adjustment of the size of the interface of the first application.

[0108] It should be noted that the above Step 402a, Step 501, and Step 502 can be executed after Step 203, or can also be executed before Step 202.

[0109] In the embodiments of the present application, the user makes a third input on the icon of the first application in the first screen (inner screen), causing the electronic device to display the target pane. Further, the user can select the target sub-pane so that the interface of the first application is displayed in a part of the first screen, thereby enabling the inner screen of the folding screen to conveniently display the interfaces of application programs in a split-screen manner, enhancing the diversity of the screen display of the electronic device.

[0110] Step 402b: When the position of the icon of the first application is in the second screen, the electronic device responds to the second input and displays at least one identifier in the second screen.

[0111] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the display form of the above-mentioned display of at least one identifier related to the first application can be any one of the following: horizontal arrangement form, vertical arrangement form, tree structure display form, etc. The specific display form can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this here.

[0112] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 2 in (b), such as Figure 8As shown, after the user makes a second input on the icon of Application A on the second screen, the mobile phone can display the icon of the first application (Application A) and at least one identifier related to the first application on the second screen. For example, with the icon of Application A as the center, four identifiers related to the first application (i.e., Identifier 1, Identifier 2, Identifier 3, and Identifier 4) are displayed in the surrounding area around the icon of the first application.

[0113] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, after the above step 402b, the application interface display method provided by the embodiments of the present application further includes step 601 and step 602.

[0114] Step 601: The electronic device receives a fourth input from the user on a target identifier among at least one identifier.

[0115] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above fourth input can be a sliding input or a click input, so that the electronic device performs an operation corresponding to the target identifier.

[0116] Step 602: The electronic device responds to the fourth input and performs a second operation.

[0117] In the embodiments of the present application, the above second operation is any one of the following: displaying corresponding application function information on the target identifier, displaying an application function interface corresponding to the target identifier on the second screen, performing an application function corresponding to the target identifier, and displaying an interface of a second application corresponding to the target identifier on the second screen.

[0118] It should be noted that displaying corresponding application function information on the target identifier can be understood as: after the user makes a fourth input on the target identifier, the electronic device displays the data information corresponding to the target identifier in the area corresponding to the target identifier. For example, if the target identifier is a weather function identifier, the application function corresponding to the weather function identifier is the weather forecast function, so the electronic device displays data information such as the current temperature, humidity, and climate in the area corresponding to the weather function identifier.

[0119] Displaying an application function interface corresponding to the target identifier on the second screen can be understood as: after the user makes a fourth input on the target identifier, the electronic device can directly display the interface corresponding to the target identifier on the second screen. For example, if the target identifier is a weather function identifier, the electronic device displays an interface for displaying weather information (such as temperature, humidity, etc.) corresponding to the weather function identifier on the outer screen.

[0120] Performing an application function corresponding to the target identifier can be understood as: after the user makes a fourth input on the target identifier, the electronic device can directly perform the application function corresponding to the target identifier. For example, if the first application is an audio application program and the target identifier is the next track identifier, the electronic device can play the next audio file in the playlist.

[0121] Displaying the interface of the second application corresponding to the target identifier on the second screen can be understood as: after the user makes a fourth input on the target identifier, the electronic device can directly display the interface of the second application corresponding to the target identifier on the second screen. For example, if the first application is a browser and the second application is a file management application, the electronic device can display the interface corresponding to the file management application, so that the user can view the files downloaded by the electronic device through the browser in the file management.

[0122] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, when the second operation is to display the corresponding application function information on the target identifier, the electronic device can display a mask layer on the target identifier with a preset transparency to display the application function information in the mask layer; alternatively, the electronic device can display the application function information in the form of a floating window on the target identifier.

[0123] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 8 , as Figure 9 shown, if application A is an application program with a communication function, at least one identifier can be a payment and receipt identifier, a health code identifier, a QR code identifier, and a scan code identifier. If the user makes a fourth input on the QR code identifier, the mobile phone can display the user's QR code at the corresponding position of the QR code identifier; if the user makes a fourth input on the scan code identifier, the mobile phone can open the interface corresponding to the scan code function, so as to execute the scan code function.

[0124] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 8 , as Figure 10 shown, if application A is an application program with an audio playback function, the user can directly execute the function of playing the previous audio, playing the next audio, or pausing the audio playback by making a fourth input on the previous track identifier, the next track identifier, or the pause identifier. The user can make a fourth input on the audio playlist identifier, so that the mobile phone can display a floating window on the second screen to display the current audio playlist; if application A is an application program with a weather query function, the user can make a fourth input on the identifier, so that the mobile phone can display a floating window on the second screen, so that the user can view weather-related information more conveniently.

[0125] It should be noted that the above steps 402b, 601, and 602 can be executed after step 203, or can also be executed before step 202.

[0126] In the embodiments of the present application, when the user performs a second input on the icon of the first application on the second screen of the electronic device, the electronic device can display at least one identifier, which improves the diversity of the functions related to the application displayed by the electronic device; the user can perform a fourth input on the target identifier among the at least one identifier, so that the electronic device executes a second operation, thereby improving the convenience of the user using the application function or the application program.

[0127] It should be noted that for the application interface display method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the execution subject may be an application interface display device, or an electronic device, or may also be a functional module or entity in the electronic device.
