Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a display method for an application interface and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of electronic devices and screen technology, more and more electronic devices with display screens are used in people's daily life and work. The display screens of electronic devices are getting bigger and bigger, which can provide users with richer information and bring users a better user experience.

[0003] Currently, when users use electronic devices with larger display screens, such as foldable screen devices and tablet computers, these electronic devices usually have a split-screen function, but users may not know how and when to use the split-screen function, which affects the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a method for displaying an application interface and an electronic device to solve the problem that an electronic device with a larger display screen is not convenient enough when applying a split-screen function.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for displaying an application interface, the method comprising:

[0006] The electronic device displays the interface of the first application on the display screen;

[0007] The electronic device receives a first operation of a user on a target object in an interface of a first application;

[0008] In response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a second application identifier on the display screen, and the second application corresponding to the second application identifier is an application recommended based on the target object;

[0009] The electronic device receives a second operation of the user on the second application identifier;

[0010] In response to the second operation, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen.

[0011] Through the scheme of this application, it is possible to recommend related applications based on the target object according to the user's operation (such as selection or copying) on ​​the object (such as text or picture) displayed in the current interface, and display them to the user for selection. When the user selects a recommended application, it can trigger the simultaneous display (such as split-screen display or floating window display) of the current interface and the interface of the recommended application. Since this application can determine the need for split-screen based on the user's scenario behavior, and actively and targetedly provide recommended applications and intelligent split-screen services, it can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience and improve the user experience.

[0012] In some possible implementations, in response to the second operation, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0013] In response to the second operation, if the first application and the second application both support split-screen display, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application in split-screen on the display screen.

[0014] Through the above scheme, for applications that support split-screen display, after the user selects a recommended application, the electronic device can give priority to displaying the current display interface and the interface of the recommended application through split-screen display, which can improve the display effect and facilitate user viewing.

[0015] In some possible implementations, in response to the second operation, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0016] In response to the second operation, if the first application and / or the second application does not support split-screen display, and the second application supports floating window display, the electronic device displays the interface of the second application in a floating window on the interface of the first application.

[0017] Through the above scheme, for applications that do not support split-screen display but support floating window display, after the user selects a recommended application, the electronic device can choose to display the interface of the application selected by the user in a floating window display on the current display interface, which can improve the display effect and facilitate user viewing.

[0018] In some possible implementations, in response to the second operation, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0019] In response to the second operation, if the first application and / or the second application do not support split-screen display, and the first application supports floating window display, the electronic device displays the interface of the second application in full screen on the display screen, and displays the interface of the first application in a floating window on the interface of the second application.

[0020] Through the above scheme, for applications that do not support split-screen display but support floating window display, after the user selects a recommended application, the electronic device can choose to display the interface of the application selected by the user in full screen, and display the current display interface in a floating window display mode. This can improve the display effect and facilitate user viewing.

[0021] In some possible implementations, after the electronic device receives a second operation of the user on the second application identifier, the method further includes:

[0022] In response to the second operation, if the first application and / or the second application does not support split-screen display, and both the first application and the second application do not support floating window display, the electronic device displays the interface of the second application in full screen on the display screen.

[0023] Through the above solution, for applications that do not support split-screen display or floating window display, after the user selects a recommended application, the electronic device can choose to display the interface of the application selected by the user in full screen for easy viewing by the user.

[0024] This application solution can provide different window form recommendations based on the user's current status and recommended services, thereby improving the user experience.

[0025] In some possible implementations, the target object may be text or a picture, or other forms of content.

[0026] In some possible implementations, when the target object is text, the first operation is a selection or copy operation on the target object; or, when the target object is a picture, the first operation includes a text recognition operation on the target object, and a selection or copy operation on the text content in the text recognition result.

[0027] In some possible implementations, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application on the display screen, including:

[0028] The electronic device displays the interface of the first application on the display screen in full screen or split screen; or,

[0029] The electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the third application in split screen on the display screen.

[0030] In some possible implementations, when the electronic device displays a first sub-interface and a second sub-interface of the first application on the display screen in split screen, the first operation is an operation of the user on the target object in the first sub-interface;

[0031] The electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen at the same time, including:

[0032] If the second application supports split-screen display, the electronic device displays the first sub-interface and the interface of the second application in split-screen;

[0033] The electronic device displays the second sub-interface in a floating ball manner, or hides the second sub-interface.

[0034] Through the above scheme, in the split-screen display scenario, if the user selects a recommended application, the interface of the application selected by the user can replace the application interface in one of the split-screen windows, and the replaced application interface is displayed with a floating ball, which can improve the display effect and facilitate user viewing.

[0035] In some possible implementations, when the electronic device displays a first sub-interface and a second sub-interface of the first application on the display screen in split screen, the first operation is an operation of the user on the target object in the first sub-interface;

[0036] The electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0037] If the second application does not support split-screen display but supports floating window display, the electronic device maintains split-screen display of the first sub-interface and the second sub-interface of the first application, and displays the interface of the second application in the form of a floating window on the second sub-interface.

[0038] Through the above solution, in the split-screen display scenario, if the user selects a recommended application, the interface of the application selected by the user can be displayed in a floating ball on the split-screen window, which can improve the display effect and facilitate user viewing.

[0039] In some possible implementations, when the electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the third application in split screen, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0040] If the second application supports split-screen display, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application in split-screen;

[0041] The electronic device displays the interface of the third application in a floating ball manner, or hides the interface of the third application.

[0042] Through the above scheme, in the split-screen display scenario, if the user selects a recommended application, the interface of the application selected by the user can replace the application interface in one of the split-screen windows, and the replaced application interface is displayed with a floating ball, which can improve the display effect and facilitate user viewing.

[0043] In some possible implementations, when the electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the third application in split screen, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0044] If the second application does not support split-screen display but supports floating window display, the electronic device maintains split-screen display of the interface of the first application and the interface of the third application, and displays the interface of the second application in the form of a floating window on the interface of the third application.

[0045] Through the above solution, in the split-screen display scenario, if the user selects a recommended application, the interface of the application selected by the user can be displayed in a floating ball on the split-screen window, which can improve the display effect and facilitate user viewing.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the second application identifier includes at least one of the following: an icon, text, a preview image, a thumbnail image, and may also include other forms of application identifiers.

[0047] In some possible implementations, the second application identifier includes a drop-down control; and the method further includes:

[0048] When the electronic device receives an operation of the drop-down control by the user, the electronic device displays a recommendation menu bar, wherein the recommendation menu bar includes the second application identifier and a fourth application identifier, and the fourth application corresponding to the fourth application identifier is an application recommended based on the target object;

[0049] If the electronic device receives an operation on the fourth application identifier by the user, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the fourth application on the display screen.

[0050] Through the above scheme, according to the user's operation (such as selection or copying) on ​​the object (such as text or picture) displayed in the current interface, multiple related applications can be recommended based on the target object and displayed to the user for selection, so as to facilitate user viewing.

[0051] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for displaying an application interface, characterized by comprising:

[0052] When the foldable screen of the electronic device is in a folded state, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application through the outer screen of the foldable screen;

[0053] When the first application and the second application meet the preset conditions, the electronic device displays split-screen prompt information through the external screen, where the split-screen prompt information is used to prompt that the split-screen display can be triggered by unfolding the foldable screen;

[0054] If the electronic device receives an operation from the user to unfold the foldable screen, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application through the inner screen of the foldable screen.

[0055] Through this application scheme, it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen demand based on the user's scenario behavior. After determining that there is a split-screen demand, intelligent split-screen services can be provided proactively and in a targeted manner, which can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience.

[0056] In some possible implementations, the above-mentioned preset condition includes any of the following:

[0057] The number of times the first application and the second application are switched and displayed within a preset time period is greater than or equal to a preset number;

[0058] The electronic device receives a new message reminder of the second application while displaying the interface of the first application.

[0059] Through the above solution, when the foldable screen is in the folded state, when it is detected that two applications are frequently switched within a preset time period, or when a new message reminder is received, it is determined that there is a need for split-screen, and the user is prompted to trigger the split-screen display by unfolding the foldable screen, thereby actively and targetedly providing intelligent split-screen services, which can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience.

[0060] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0061] When the preset condition is met, the electronic device displays floating window prompt information through the external screen, where the floating window prompt information is used to prompt that the display of the floating window can be triggered by unfolding the foldable screen;

[0062] If the electronic device receives an operation from the user to unfold the foldable screen, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application in full screen through the inner screen of the foldable screen, and displays the interface of the second application in a floating window.

[0063] Through the present application scheme, intelligent split-screen services are provided to users proactively and in a targeted manner. The interfaces of two applications can be displayed in a split-screen manner, or the interfaces of two applications can be displayed simultaneously in a floating window display. This can improve the display effect and facilitate user viewing.

[0064] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0065] If the electronic device receives an operation from the user to unfold the foldable screen, the electronic device switches the inner screen to a bright screen state and switches the outer screen to an off screen state.

[0066] Through the solution of this application, when switching from full-screen display of the external screen to split-screen display of the internal screen, the external screen can be turned off while the internal screen is lit, saving energy.

[0067] In some possible implementations, the method further includes:

[0068] When the foldable screen is in the unfolded state, if the electronic device receives an operation of closing the foldable screen by the user, the electronic device switches the outer screen to the light-on state and switches the inner screen to the off-screen state;

[0069] The electronic device continues to display the interface of the first application through the external screen.

[0070] Through the solution of the present application, in a scenario where the user triggers a switch from split-screen display on the inner screen to full-screen display on the outer screen, the inner screen can be turned off while the outer screen is turned on, thus saving energy.

[0071] In a third aspect, the present application provides a display device for an application interface, the device comprising a unit for executing the method in the first aspect. The device may correspond to executing the method described in the first aspect, and the relevant description of the unit in the device can refer to the description of the first aspect, which will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0072] The method described in the first aspect above can be implemented by hardware, or by hardware executing corresponding software. The hardware or software includes one or more modules or units corresponding to the above functions. For example, a processing module or unit, a display module or unit, etc.

[0073] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, comprising a processor, the processor being coupled to a memory, the memory being used to store computer programs or instructions, and the processor being used to execute the computer programs or instructions stored in the memory, so that the method in the first aspect is executed.

[0074] For example, the processor is used to execute the computer program or instructions stored in the memory, so that the device performs the method in the first aspect.

[0075] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program (also referred to as instructions or codes) for implementing the method in the first aspect.

[0076] For example, when the computer program is executed by a computer, the computer can perform the method in the first aspect.

[0077] In a sixth aspect, the present application provides a chip, including a processor. The processor is used to read and execute a computer program stored in a memory to perform the method in the first aspect and any possible implementation thereof.

[0078] Optionally, the chip also includes a memory, and the memory is connected to the processor via a circuit or wire.

[0105] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0106] The term "and / or" in this article is a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The symbol " / " in this article indicates that the associated objects are in an or relationship, for example, A / B means A or B.

[0107] The terms "first" and "second" in the specification and claims herein are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order of objects. For example, a first APP and a second APP are used to distinguish different APPs rather than to describe a specific order of APPs.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0109] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more than two. For example, multiple processing units refer to two or more processing units, etc.; multiple elements refer to two or more elements, etc.

[0110] At present, when users use foldable screen devices, tablet computers and other electronic devices with large display screens, these electronic devices usually have a split-screen function, but users may not know how and when to use the split-screen function, which affects the user experience. In view of this, the embodiment of the present application proposes that it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen demand based on the user's scenario behavior, and actively and specifically provide intelligent split-screen services after determining that there is a split-screen demand, which can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience, and the present application solution can provide different window form recommendations based on the user's current status and the recommended services, thereby improving the user experience.

[0111] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying an application interface, which can be applied to an electronic device with a foldable screen, and can also be applied to an electronic device with a conventional display screen, that is, a display screen that does not support screen folding.

[0112] For the sake of convenience, the following is an example of an electronic device with a foldable screen as an example to illustrate the display method of the application interface provided in the embodiment of the present application. First, the product form of the foldable screen is introduced in detail to better understand the display method of the application interface provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0113] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a product form of an electronic device including a foldable screen provided in an embodiment of the present application. The electronic device in the embodiment of the present application includes a foldable screen, which can be unfolded or folded along a folding axis and can present different display areas in different states.

[0114] Figure 1 (a) is a schematic diagram of the electronic device when it is folded. Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 1 can be unfolded along a folding axis (as shown by the dotted line in the figure). Figure 1 (b) is a schematic diagram of the electronic device when it is unfolded. Figure 1 (c) is a schematic diagram of the electronic device when it is fully unfolded.

[0115] It should be noted that the value range of the angle α between the two screens of the folding screen can be [0°, 180°]. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, when the angle α is 0°, the electronic device is in a folded state (or a straight state). When the angle α is 180°, the electronic device is in an unfolded state.

[0116] In the following text, the present application will take the scenario where the foldable screen of an electronic device is in an unfolded state, or the scenario where the foldable screen of an electronic device is in a folded state as an example to exemplify the display method of the application interface provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0117] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the inner screen of the electronic device can display the desktop interface or the interface of one or more APPs in the electronic device for the user to use. At this time, when the inner screen of the electronic device meets the preset split-screen condition during the full-screen display or split-screen display (for example, the electronic device receives an operation in which the user selects a certain text or picture), the electronic device can display the split-screen on the inner screen or change the split-screen combination, prompting the user to operate on the split-screen control, thereby triggering the foldable screen of the electronic device to display the split-screen.

[0118] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the inner screen of the electronic device can display the desktop interface or the interface of one or more APPs in the electronic device for the user to use. At this time, when the inner screen of the electronic device meets the preset split-screen condition during the full-screen display process (for example, the electronic device detects that two APPs are frequently switched), the electronic device can display a split-screen control on the inner screen, prompting the user to operate on the split-screen control, which can trigger the inner screen of the electronic device to display the split screen.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is in a folded state, the outer screen of the electronic device can display the desktop interface or the interface of one or more APPs in the electronic device for the user to use. When the outer screen of the electronic device meets the preset split-screen condition during the screen display process (for example, the electronic device receives a short message, or the electronic device detects that two APPs are frequently switched), the electronic device can prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen of the electronic device to realize split-screen display through the inner screen of the electronic device.

[0120] The preset split screen condition when the electronic device is in the unfolded state is different from the preset split screen condition when the electronic device is in the folded state. The preset split screen condition when the electronic device is in the unfolded state and the preset split screen condition when the electronic device is in the folded state will be described in detail below.

[0121] In some embodiments, the foldable screen of the electronic device may 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. The two screens formed after the flexible foldable screen is folded are a complete screen of an integrated structure, and the two screens can be understood as two display areas.

[0122] In some embodiments, the foldable screen of the electronic device may be a multi-screen folding screen. The multi-screen folding screen may include multiple (two or more) screens. The multiple screens are multiple separate display screens. The multiple screens may be connected in sequence through a folding axis. Each screen may rotate around the folding axis connected thereto to achieve folding of the multi-screen folding screen.

[0123] It should be noted that this article takes the foldable screen as an example to illustrate the foldable screen in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, in the subsequent embodiments of the present application, the foldable screen as an example is also taken as an example to illustrate the display method of the application interface provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0124] The execution subject of the display method of the application interface provided in the embodiment of the present application can be the above-mentioned electronic device, or it can be a functional module and / or functional entity in the electronic device that can implement the display method of the application interface, and the present application scheme can be implemented by hardware and / or software, which can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited. Taking an electronic device as an example, the shooting control method based on a foldable screen provided in the embodiment of the present application is exemplarily described in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0125] It should be noted that the display method of the application interface provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied not only to a foldable screen, but also to an electronic device with a conventional display screen, such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer. For the convenience of description, the following is an exemplary description using a foldable screen as an example.

[0126] Among them, for the foldable screen, the embodiment of the present application supports triggering the split-screen display of the display screen when the foldable screen is in the unfolded state, and can also trigger the split-screen display of the display screen when the foldable screen is in the folded state.

[0127] In the following, taking the scenario of triggering split-screen display of the display screen when the foldable screen is in the unfolded state (first embodiment) and triggering split-screen display of the display screen when the foldable screen is in the folded state (second embodiment) as examples, the display method of the application interface provided in the embodiments of the present application is exemplarily explained.

[0128] First embodiment

[0129] Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of a method for displaying an application interface provided in the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps S101-S109.

[0130] S101, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP through the display screen.

[0131] Optionally, the display screen of the electronic device can be a foldable screen or a conventional display screen, that is, a display screen that does not support screen folding. The specific display screen can be determined based on actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0132] In the embodiment of the present application, the display screen can support full screen display and split screen display. Optionally, the display screen can also support floating window display.

[0133] In some embodiments, when the foldable screen of the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the electronic device can display the interface of the first APP in full screen through the foldable screen, or the electronic device can display the interface of the first APP and the interfaces of other APPs in split screen through the foldable screen.

[0134] Optionally, the interface of the first APP can be a desktop interface, or it can be the interface of an APP running on the electronic device, or it can be the interface of a small program. The specific interface can be determined according to actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0135] S102, the electronic device receives a first operation performed by a user on a target object in an interface of a first APP.

[0136] Optionally, the first operation can be a long press operation on the target object (for example, a press operation with a pressing duration exceeding a certain duration), or can be a click operation on the target object (for example, a single click or a double click), or can be any other possible operation, which can be determined based on actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0137] Optionally, the target object may be text, a picture, or any other object that meets actual usage requirements. It may be specifically set according to actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0138] Exemplarily, taking the target object as text as an example, the target object may be text representing an address, or a uniform resource locator (URL) website, or a telephone number, or an Email address.

[0139] As another example, taking the target object as a picture, assuming that the picture contains text, such as text representing an address, a URL, a phone number or an email address, when the electronic device detects that the user has selected the picture, the electronic device can perform text recognition on the picture through text recognition technology and extract the text in the picture.

[0140] S103, in response to the first operation, the electronic device displays at least one APP identification recommended based on the target object through a display screen.

[0141] Optionally, the at least one APP logo mentioned above can be an APP icon, or text describing the APP, or a thumbnail of the APP interface, or an APP interface preview window. Of course, it can also be any other possible form of APP entrance, which can be determined according to actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0142] The at least one APP logo may be displayed in a list form (such as an application list) or a window form. Alternatively, the at least one APP logo may present a service preview card. It should be noted that this situation requires APP access or support.

[0143] Optionally, all recommended APP logos are displayed in list form or window form, or part of all recommended APP logos are displayed in list form or window form and another part is hidden, and the hidden other part can be displayed after the user triggers the list or window to expand.

[0144] Optionally, the at least one recommended APP may be displayed in descending order of priority. The priority of the APP may be determined according to the degree of association with the object selected by the user, or according to the frequency or duration of the user's use of the APP.

[0145] Exemplarily, the higher the correlation between the APP and the object selected by the user, the higher the priority of the APP. For example, the object selected by the user is address information. Since the APP with a higher correlation with the address information is a navigation APP, the navigation APP has the highest priority.

[0146] As another example, the more frequently a user uses an APP, the higher the priority of the APP.

[0147] It can be understood that by operating on the current display interface, the user can select a target object in the interface and trigger the electronic device to recommend an APP associated with the target object, thereby facilitating the user to quickly find the entrance to the required APP.

[0148] S104, the electronic device receives a second operation of the user on a second APP identifier, where the second APP identifier is used to indicate a second APP.

[0149] The second APP identifier is one of the at least one APP identifier mentioned above.

[0150] Optionally, in some embodiments, for APPs that support split-screen, they are displayed in split-screen mode preferentially.

[0151] Optionally, in some embodiments, for an APP that does not support split screen but supports floating windows, it is preferentially opened as a floating window.

[0152] Optionally, in some embodiments, for an APP that does not support split screen or floating window, it is opened in full screen mode.

[0153] The following three branches describe the application scenarios of split-screen display, floating window display and full-screen display respectively.

[0154] S105, the electronic device determines whether the first APP and the second APP support split-screen display.

[0155] If the electronic device determines that both the first APP and the second APP support split-screen display, the following step S106 is continued to be executed. If the electronic device determines that neither the first APP nor the second APP supports split-screen display, the following step S107 is continued to be executed.

[0156] S106, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP in different areas through the display screen.

[0157] From the user's perspective, the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP can be seen on the display screen at the same time.

[0158] Optionally, the first APP and the second APP may be the same APP or different APPs. In the case where the first APP and the second APP are the same APP, the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP may be different interfaces of the same APP.

[0159] Optionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device may trigger split-screen display in a scenario where a single-task full-screen display is in progress, wherein the single-task full-screen display may refer to an interface of a single APP being displayed in the foreground.

[0160] For example, when the electronic device displays the interface of application A in full screen and displays the logo of application B that recommends split screen, if the user's operation on the logo of application B is detected, the electronic device displays the interface of application A and the interface of application B in split screen. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A--->A|B", which means that the full screen display of application A is changed to the split screen display of application A and application B.

[0161] Among them, A|B can represent a split-screen combination, or a split-screen pair.

[0162] Optionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device may further trigger the replacement of the split screen combination in the scenario of single-task split screen display, wherein the single-task split screen display may refer to the main interface and one sub-interface of a single APP being displayed in the foreground.

[0163] For example, when the electronic device displays two interfaces of application A in split screen (for example, main interface A and sub-interface A1, assuming that sub-interface A1 displays the recommended split screen application B logo), if the electronic device detects the user's operation on the B application logo, the electronic device displays sub-interface A1 and the interface of application B in split screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|A1--->A1|B", that is, the split screen combination A|A1 is transformed into the split screen combination A1|B.

[0164] Optionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device may further trigger the replacement of the split screen combination in the scenario of multi-task split screen display, wherein the multi-task split screen display may refer to two sub-interfaces of an APP being displayed in the foreground, or the respective interfaces of two APPs being displayed in the foreground.

[0165] For example, when the electronic device displays two sub-interfaces of application A (e.g., sub-interface A1 and sub-interface A2) in split screen, if the electronic device detects that sub-interface A1 and application C are frequently switched in the foreground (sub-interface A2 remains displayed at this time), the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to change the split screen combination and display the interface of sub-interface A1 and application C in split screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A1|A2--->A1|C", that is, changing from split screen combination A1|A2 to split screen combination A1|C.

[0166] For another example, when the electronic device displays the interface of application A and the interface of application B in split screen, if the electronic device detects that application A and application C are frequently switched in the foreground (the interface of application B remains displayed at this time), the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to change the split screen combination to display the interface of application A and the interface of application C in split screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|B--->A|C", that is, the split screen combination A|B is changed to the split screen combination A|C.

[0167] It should be noted that the above are all exemplary examples. There may be other recommended split-screen display scenarios or scenarios that prompt you to change the split-screen combination. The specific scenarios can be determined based on actual usage requirements and are not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0168] S107, the electronic device determines whether the first APP and the second APP support floating window display.

[0169] In the embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device determines that either the first APP or the second APP does not support split-screen display, the electronic device continues to determine whether the first APP and the second APP support floating window display.

[0170] If the electronic device determines that the first APP and / or the second APP supports floating window display, the following step S108 is continued to be executed. If the electronic device determines that both the first APP and the second APP do not support floating window display, the following step S109 is continued to be executed.

[0171] S108, the electronic device displays the interface of the second APP in a floating window on the interface of the first APP, or displays the interface of the first APP in a floating window on the interface of the second APP.

[0172] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP at the same time through the foldable screen, and the interface of one APP is superimposed on the interface of the other APP in a floating window manner. From the user's perspective, the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP can be seen on the foldable screen at the same time.

[0173] On the one hand, when the electronic device determines that the first APP supports floating window display but the second APP does not support floating window display, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP in a floating window manner on the interface of the second APP.

[0174] On the other hand, when the electronic device determines that the second APP supports floating window display but the first APP does not support floating window display, the electronic device displays the interface of the second APP in a floating window on the interface of the first APP.

[0175] On the other hand, when the electronic device determines that both the first APP and the second APP support floating window display, the electronic device can display the interface of the second APP in a floating window on the interface of the first APP by default.

[0176] Optionally, the floating window may support moving position. For example, in response to a user's dragging operation on the floating window, the electronic device may move the display position of the floating window accordingly.

[0177] Optionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device may further trigger the creation of a new floating window or the replacement of the floating window in a scenario where the floating window is displayed.

[0178] For example, when the electronic device displays interface C in a floating window on the desktop, if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies content in interface C, the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to open interface A recommended based on the content in a floating window. This scenario can be simply represented as "desktop [C] ---> desktop [A] [C]", that is, on the desktop, one floating window [C] increases to two floating windows [A] [C].

[0179] For another example, when the electronic device displays interface C in a floating window on interface A (the full-screen interface of application A) (A[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies content in interface C, the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to open interface B recommended based on the content in a floating window. This scenario can be simply represented as "A[C]--->A[B][C]", that is, on the full-screen interface of application A, the number of floating windows [C] increases from one floating window [C] to two floating windows [B][C].

[0180] For example, when the electronic device displays interface A and interface B in split screen, and displays interface C in a floating window on interface B (A|B[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies content in interface A, the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to open interface D recommended based on the content in a floating window. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|B[C]--->A[D]|B[C]", that is, a floating window can exist on each of the two interfaces displayed in the split screen.

[0181] For another example, when the electronic device displays interface A and interface B in split screen, and displays interface D in a floating window on interface A and displays interface C in a floating window on interface B (A[D]|B[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies content in interface B, the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to open interface E recommended based on the content in a floating window. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A[D]|B[C]--->A[D]|B[E]", that is, the floating windows on the two interfaces displayed in the split screen can be replaced as needed.

[0182] It should be noted that the above are all exemplary examples. There may be other recommended floating window display scenarios or scenarios that prompt the replacement of floating windows. The specific scenarios can be determined based on actual usage requirements and are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0183] S109, the electronic device displays the second interface in full screen via the display screen.

[0184] It is understandable that, when the second APP does not support split-screen display or floating window display, the electronic device can display the interface of the second APP in full screen through the foldable screen, showing the user the interface of the required APP in full screen. From the user's perspective, the interface of the second APP can be seen on the foldable screen, and the first APP retreats to the background.

[0185] Through the solution of this application, the electronic device can judge the user's intention based on the content selected or copied by the user. For example, when the user selects phone information, it is inferred that the user may have the intention to dial the phone; for another example, when the user selects address information, it is inferred that the user may have the intention to navigate to the address. Then, the electronic device can pop up the logo of the recommended APP (such as the APP icon) based on the content selected or copied by the user. When the user clicks the logo of the APP, the electronic device can display the current display interface and the APP interface in a split screen, or display one of the current display interface and the APP interface in a floating window, or display the APP interface in full screen.

[0186] Combine the following Figures 3 to 5 The possible implementation of the method for displaying the application interface provided by the first embodiment is exemplarily described.

[0187] like Figure 3 As shown in (a), the electronic device displays the chat interface of the communication APP in full screen through the display screen 1. When the user selects a text or picture (here, address information is used as an example) by long pressing on the chat interface of the communication APP, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in (b), the electronic device displays a copy control on the chat interface of the communication APP. When the user clicks the copy control, Figure 3 As shown in (c), the electronic device displays a split-screen function recommendation window (e.g., in the shape of a capsule) on the chat interface of the communication APP, and the split-screen function recommendation window displays a navigation APP icon or text (e.g., "Get Directions") recommended based on the address information selected by the user. Of course, the split-screen function recommendation window may also display other APP icons or text related to the address information selected by the user, or may be partially displayed and partially hidden.

[0188] In some embodiments, when a user clicks on a navigation APP icon, Figure 3 As shown in (d), when either the communication APP or the navigation APP does not support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the interface of the navigation APP in full screen, and the communication APP will retreat to the background to run.

[0189] In other embodiments, when the user clicks on the navigation APP icon, Figure 3 As shown in (e), when both the communication APP and the navigation APP support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the interface of the communication APP and the interface of the navigation APP in different areas (i.e., split-screen display).

[0190] Thus, split-screen display can be achieved through the user's triggering operation on the display screen.

[0191] It should be noted that Figure 3 The example of triggering the display of the split-screen function recommendation window after the user copies the address information is used for explanation. Of course, the method of triggering the display of the split-screen function recommendation window is not limited to this. For example, the user can trigger the display of the split-screen function recommendation window by clicking and selecting the address information.

[0192] It should also be noted that Figure 3 The following uses the example of triggering split-screen display in a full-screen display scenario. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The situations of further triggering the replacement of the split-screen combination in the split-screen display scenario are described respectively.

[0193] like Figure 4As shown in (a), the electronic device displays two interfaces of an APP through different areas of the display screen (i.e., split-screen display): the main interface of the communication APP is displayed in one area of ​​the display screen (called area 2), and the chat interface of the communication APP is displayed in another area of ​​the display screen (called area 3).

[0194] When a user selects a text or picture (here we still take address information as an example) by clicking on the chat interface of the communication APP, Figure 4 As shown in (b), the electronic device displays a split-screen function recommendation window (e.g., in the shape of a capsule) on the chat interface of the communication APP, and the split-screen function recommendation window displays a navigation APP icon or text (e.g., get route) recommended based on the address information selected by the user. Figure 4 In (b), only the navigation APP icon is displayed. Figure 4 As shown in (c), other recommended apps (such as food recommendation apps) can be expanded by clicking the expand button ( Figure 4 The drop-down arrow on the recommendation window shown in (b) is displayed after the window is expanded.

[0195] When the user clicks the food recommendation APP icon, Figure 4 As shown in (d), when both the communication APP and the food recommendation APP support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the chat interface of the communication APP and the interface of the food recommendation APP in split-screen.

[0196] Thus, through the user's triggering operation on the display screen, the display screen can be changed into a split-screen combination: the chat interface of the communication APP is displayed in area 2 of the display screen, and the interface of the food recommendation APP is displayed in area 3 of the display screen.

[0197] like Figure 5 As shown in (a), the electronic device displays the chat interface of the communication APP in full screen through the display screen 1. When the user selects a text or picture (here, address information is used as an example) by long pressing on the chat interface of the communication APP, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in (b), the electronic device displays a copy control on the chat interface of the communication APP. When the user clicks the copy control, Figure 5 As shown in (c), the electronic device displays a split-screen function recommendation window on the chat interface of the communication APP, and the split-screen function recommendation window displays an interface preview or thumbnail of the navigation APP recommended based on the address information selected by the user.

[0198] In some embodiments, when a user clicks on a preview or thumbnail of a navigation APP interface, Figure 5As shown in (d), when both the communication APP and the navigation APP support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the interface of the communication APP and the interface of the navigation APP in different areas (i.e., split-screen display).

[0199] Thus, split-screen display can be achieved through the user's triggering operation on the display screen.

[0200] In other embodiments, when the user clicks on the interface preview or thumbnail of the navigation APP, if either the communication APP or the navigation APP does not support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the interface of the navigation APP in full screen, and the communication APP will retreat to the background to run.

[0201] Will Figure 3 and Figure 5 By comparing them, we can find that the two scenarios are different. Figure 3 The scene shown is a change from full-screen display to split-screen display. Figure 5 The scene shown is a scene where the split screen display is further changed to a split screen combination. In addition, the information format in the split screen function recommendation window displayed is different. Figure 3 The split-screen function recommendation window displays navigation APP icons or texts recommended based on the address information selected by the user. Figure 3 The split-screen function recommendation window displays an interface preview or thumbnail of the navigation APP recommended based on the address information selected by the user.

[0202] It should be noted that Figure 3 and Figure 5 The split screen function recommendation windows in the Figure 3 In the scenario where the full screen is displayed as a split screen, the split screen function recommendation window can be displayed in the form of a preview or thumbnail. Figure 5 In the scenario shown in which the split screen display is changed to replacing one of the split screens, the split screen function recommendation window can be in the form of an icon or text. Or Figure 3 and Figure 5 The split screen recommendation window can also be Figure 4 That is to say, the interface display form and the form of the split-screen function recommendation window in each embodiment of the present application can be interchangeably combined.

[0203] Combine the following Figure 6 This describes the situation in which the split-screen combination is triggered to change in the split-screen display scenario, that is, A|B--->A|C.

[0204] When the electronic device displays the interface of application A and the interface of application B in split screen, if the electronic device detects that application A and application C are frequently switched in the foreground (the interface of application B remains displayed at this time), the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to change the split screen combination and display the interface of application A and the interface of application C in split screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|B--->A|C", that is, the split screen combination A|B is changed to the split screen combination A|C.

[0205] like Figure 6 As shown in (a), the electronic device displays the respective interfaces of the two APPs through different areas of the display screen (i.e., split-screen display): the chat interface of the communication APP is displayed in area 2 of the display screen, and the interface of the album APP is displayed in area 3 of the display screen.

[0206] like Figure 6 As shown in (b), when a user selects a text or picture (here address information is still used as an example) by clicking on the chat interface of the communication APP, Figure 6 As shown in (c), the electronic device displays a split-screen function recommendation window (for example, in a capsule shape) on the chat interface of the communication APP, and the split-screen function recommendation window displays a thumbnail of a navigation APP recommended based on the address information selected by the user.

[0207] When the user clicks on the thumbnail of the navigation app, Figure 6 As shown in (d), when both the communication APP and the navigation APP support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the chat interface of the communication APP and the interface of the navigation APP in split-screen.

[0208] Therefore, the split-screen combination of the display screen can be replaced by the user's triggering operation on the display screen.

[0209] It should be noted that Figures 3 to 6 The following describes the scenario where the user triggers the split-screen display by selecting text. Figure 7 The following describes an example of a scenario in which a user triggers split-screen display by selecting a picture.

[0210] like Figure 7 As shown in (a), the electronic device displays the interface of the photo album APP in full screen through the display screen 1, and the picture in the current interface contains text content. When the user clicks the text recognition control A in the interface of the photo album APP, as shown in Figure 7 As shown in (b), the electronic device recognizes the text content in the picture, for example: contact number, xxxxxxx, address, xxx street, xxx district, xxx city, xxx province.

[0211] like Figure 7As shown in (c), when the user clicks to select the recognized text content "xxxxxxx", the electronic device displays recommended content such as function controls or APP icons based on the text content "xxxxxxx". Optionally, the recommended content can be in the form of a list. For example, the recommended content includes functions such as calling, sending messages, copying, and adding to the mobile phone address book.

[0212] like Figure 7 As shown in (d), when the user clicks to select the call function, the electronic device displays the interface of the photo album APP in area 2 of the display screen, and displays the interface of the call APP in area 3 of the display screen.

[0213] For example, Figure 7 As shown in (e), when the user clicks and selects the recognized text content "xxx Province xxx City xxx District xxx Street", the electronic device displays recommended content such as function controls or APP icons based on the text content "xxx Province xxx City xxx District xxx Street". For example, the recommended content includes navigation functions, food recommendation APPs, copy functions, and sharing functions.

[0214] like Figure 7 As shown in (f), when the user clicks to select the navigation function, the electronic device displays the interface of the photo album APP in area 2 of the display screen, and displays the interface of the navigation APP in area 3 of the display screen.

[0215] It should be noted that the above Figure 7 The example in which the photo album APP, call APP and navigation APP all support split-screen display is used for illustrative explanation.

[0216] It should also be noted that the above examples exemplify possible forms of the split-screen function recommendation window. It can be understood that in actual implementation, the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the above-mentioned split-screen function recommendation window. The split-screen function recommendation window can also include any other possible forms, which can be determined based on actual usage requirements and are not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0217] Optionally, in some embodiments, a do not disturb mechanism can be provided by setting a system switch. For example, a system-level smart split screen switch can be set to trigger turning off or on the smart split screen function. When the user manually turns off the smart split screen function, the electronic device will no longer trigger the recommended split screen function based on the user's behavior.

[0218] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays the split-screen function recommendation window, if the user does not need the split-screen function, the user can trigger the electronic device to close or hide the split-screen function recommendation window through a preset operation. Accordingly, in response to the user operation, the electronic device can close or hide the split-screen function recommendation window. Exemplarily, the electronic device closes the split-screen function recommendation window in response to the user's sliding operation (e.g., sliding upward) on the split-screen function recommendation window.

[0219] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays a split-screen function recommendation window, if the electronic device does not receive any operation from the user within a certain period of time (for example, 5 seconds), the electronic device will automatically close or hide the split-screen function recommendation window.

[0220] Through this application scheme, it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen demand based on the user's scenario behavior. After determining that there is a split-screen demand, intelligent split-screen services can be provided proactively and in a targeted manner, which can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience.

[0221] Combine the following Figures 8 to 12 The following describes an example of a scenario in which recommended applications are displayed in a floating window.

[0222] like Figure 8 As shown in (a), when the electronic device displays interface C in a floating window on the desktop, if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface C, then Figure 8 As shown in (b) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device may display the identification of the application recommended based on the content (for example, obtaining a route). If the electronic device detects that the user operates the application identification, then Figure 8 As shown in (c), two floating windows are displayed on the desktop at the same time, respectively displaying interface C and interface A (a certain interface of the recommended application).

[0223] This achieves "Desktop [C] ---> Desktop [A] [C]".

[0224] like Fig. 9 As shown in (a), when the electronic device displays interface C in a floating window on interface A (the full-screen interface of application A) (A[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface C, then Fig. 9 As shown in (b), the electronic device may display the identification of the application recommended based on the content (for example, obtaining a route). If the electronic device detects the user's operation on the identification of the application, then Fig. 9 As shown in (c), two floating windows are simultaneously displayed on the full-screen interface of application A, respectively displaying interface C and interface B (a certain interface of the recommended application).

[0225] This achieves "A[C]--->A[B][C]".

[0226] like Fig.10 As shown in (a), the electronic device displays interface A and interface D in split screens, and displays interface C in a floating window on interface D (expressed as A|D[C]). If the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies content in interface C, then Fig.10 As shown in (b), the electronic device may display the identification of the application recommended based on the content (for example, obtaining a route). If the electronic device detects the user's operation on the identification of the application, then Fig.10 As shown in (c), a floating window is displayed on interface A, in which interface B (a certain interface of the recommended application) is displayed, and the floating window is kept displayed on interface D, in which interface C is displayed.

[0227] This achieves "A|D[C]--->A[B]|D[C]".

[0228] like Fig.11 As shown in (a), when the electronic device displays interface A and interface D in split screens, and displays interface B in a floating window on interface A and displays interface C in a floating window on interface D (A[B]|D[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies content in interface C, then Fig.11 As shown in (b), the electronic device may display the identification of the application recommended based on the content (e.g., a calculator). If the electronic device detects the user's operation on the identification of the application, then Fig.11 As shown in (c), the interface C in the floating window is replaced with the interface B (an interface of the calculator application).

[0229] This achieves "A[B]|D[C]--->A[B]|D[E]".

[0230] Second embodiment

[0231] In an embodiment of the present application, when the foldable screen of the electronic device is in an unfolded state, or the conventional display screen of the electronic device is in a bright-screen unlocked state, the electronic device can infer the user's usage needs based on the user's behavior, and prompt the user to split the screen when it is inferred that the user has a split-screen display need, thereby improving the user's experience of using large-screen devices.

[0232] For example, when the electronic device determines that the user triggers frequent switching between two apps, the electronic device can infer that the user has a split-screen display requirement based on the user's behavior. Therefore, the electronic device can recommend a split-screen function to the user, such as prompting one-click split-screen to achieve smart split-screen.

[0233] It should be noted that frequent switching between two apps can be determined in the following manner: the number of times a user switches between app A and app B within a preset time period of X is greater than or equal to a preset Y times, where switching from app A to app B is counted as one switch, and switching from app B to app A is counted as one switch. X represents the length of a preset time period, the preset time period represents the time period after the first switch between apps is detected, and Y represents the threshold of the number of switches. X and Y can be used as system business parameters, and the specific values ​​can be configured according to actual usage requirements. For example, the default values ​​of X and Y can be derived from big data.

[0234] Fig.12 2 is a flow chart of a method for displaying an application interface provided in the second embodiment of the present application. Fig.12 As shown, the method includes the following steps S201, S202 and S203A-S205A, or the following steps S201, S202 and S203B-S205B.

[0235] S201, the electronic device switches the display screen to display the first APP interface and the second APP interface.

[0236] In some embodiments, assuming that the display screen displays the interface of the first APP in full screen, in response to the user's trigger switching operation, the electronic device displays the interface of the second APP in full screen through the display screen, and the first APP retreats to the background; then, in response to the user's trigger switching operation, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP in full screen through the display screen, and the second APP retreats to the background; and so on. This is a possible implementation method for frequent switching between two APPs.

[0237] In some embodiments, in response to a user's triggering switching operation, the electronic device may also switch between at least three APPs, and the two APPs with the highest switching frequency or the most switching times can be used as the two APPs displayed in split screen.

[0238] S202, the electronic device determines whether the number of switching between the first APP and the second APP within a preset time period is greater than or equal to a preset number.

[0239] After the electronic device detects that the display screen switches between displaying the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP, it can start timing and calculate the number of times the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP are switched within a preset time period.

[0240] It should be noted that when the electronic device determines that the number of switching between the first APP and the second APP within a preset time period is greater than or equal to a preset number, it can be determined that the preset split-screen condition is met and there is a split-screen requirement in the current scene.

[0241] If the electronic device determines that the number of switching between the first APP and the second APP within a preset time (for example, 1 minute) is greater than or equal to a preset number (for example, 3 times), it continues to execute the following steps S203A-S205A, or continues to execute the following steps S203B-S205B.

[0242] If the electronic device determines that the number of times the first APP and the second APP are switched to display within the preset time is less than the preset number, the electronic device may not make split-screen recommendations and continue to detect whether there is switching between APPs. If the interface switching between different APPs is detected again, the electronic device starts timing again and records the number of times the two APPs are switched to display within the preset time thereafter.

[0243] Method 1: When the first APP and the second APP support split-screen display, execute the following steps S203A-S205A.

[0244] S203A, the electronic device displays a split-screen start control through the display screen.

[0245] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the display position, shape, and size of the split-screen opening control. For example, the split-screen opening control can be in the shape of a capsule, in which an APP icon or text, as well as split-screen prompt information, can be displayed. Optionally, the split-screen opening control supports moving the position on the display screen.

[0246] For example, Fig.13 Several possible forms of split screen opening controls are shown. Fig.13 As shown in (a), the split screen opening control displays an APP icon (such as a communication APP icon) and a split screen prompt message (such as opening the split screen). Fig.13 As shown in (b) and (c), the split-screen opening control displays two APP icons (such as a communication APP icon and a shopping APP icon) and split-screen prompt information (such as entering split screen, or split screen).

[0247] It should be noted that the above examples exemplify possible forms of split-screen startup controls. It can be understood that in actual implementation, the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the above-mentioned split-screen startup controls. The split-screen startup controls may also include any other possible forms, which can be determined based on actual usage requirements and are not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0248] Optionally, in some embodiments, a do not disturb mechanism can be provided by setting a system switch. For example, a system-level smart split screen switch can be set to trigger turning off or on the smart split screen function. When the user manually turns off the smart split screen function, the electronic device will no longer trigger the recommended split screen function based on the user's behavior.

[0249] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays a split-screen start control, if the user does not need the split-screen function, the user can trigger the electronic device to close or hide the split-screen start control through a preset operation. Accordingly, in response to the user operation, the electronic device can close or hide the split-screen start control. For example, the electronic device closes the split-screen start control in response to the user's sliding operation on the split-screen start control.

[0250] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays a split-screen start control, if the electronic device does not receive any operation from the user within a certain period of time (for example, 5 seconds), the electronic device will automatically close or hide the split-screen start control.

[0251] S204A, the electronic device receives a third operation of the user on the split-screen opening control.

[0252] For example, the third operation is a single-click operation by the user on the split-screen opening control. Of course, it can also be any other operation that meets the requirements, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0253] S205A, in response to the third operation, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP in different areas through the display screen.

[0254] For example, when the electronic device is in full-screen display mode and detects that application A and application B frequently switch between the foreground, the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to enable the split-screen function when the interface of application A is displayed in full screen, and display the interface of application A and the interface of application B in split-screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A--->A|B", which means that the full-screen display of application A is changed to the split-screen display of application A and application B.

[0255] For another example, when the electronic device is in full-screen display mode and detects that application A and application B frequently switch between the foreground, the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to enable the split-screen function when the interface of application B is displayed in full screen, so as to display the interface of application A and the interface of application B in split-screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "B--->A|B", that is, the full-screen display of application B is changed to the split-screen display of application A and application B.

[0256] For another example, when the electronic device displays two interfaces of application A in split screen (for example, main interface A and sub-interface A1), if the electronic device detects that sub-interface A1 and application B are frequently switched in the foreground (sub-interface A1 remains displayed at this time), the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to change the split screen combination and display the interface of sub-interface A1 and application B in split screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|A1--->A1|B", that is, changing from split screen combination A|A1 to split screen combination A1|B.

[0257] For another example, when the electronic device displays two sub-interfaces of application A (e.g., sub-interface A1 and sub-interface A2) in split screen, if the electronic device detects that sub-interface A1 and application C are frequently switched in the foreground (sub-interface A2 remains displayed at this time), the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to change the split screen combination and display the interface of sub-interface A1 and application C in split screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A1|A2--->A1|C", that is, changing from split screen combination A1|A2 to split screen combination A1|C.

[0258] For another example, when the electronic device displays the interface of application A and the interface of application B in split screen, if the electronic device detects that application A and application C are frequently switched in the foreground (the interface of application B remains displayed at this time), the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to change the split screen combination to display the interface of application A and the interface of application C in split screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|B--->A|C", that is, the split screen combination A|B is changed to the split screen combination A|C.

[0259] It should be noted that the above are all exemplary examples. There may be other recommended split-screen display scenarios or scenarios that prompt you to change the split-screen combination. The specific scenarios can be determined based on actual usage requirements and are not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0260] For example, in combination Fig.14 To illustrate, in response to the user's trigger switching operation, the display screen 1 of the electronic device switches to display the interface of the shopping APP and the interface of the communication APP. When the electronic device determines that the number of switching between the shopping APP and the communication APP within the preset time is greater than or equal to the preset number, such as Fig.14 As shown in (a), the electronic device displays a split screen start control 11 on the interface of the shopping APP, and the split screen start control 11 is used to instruct the user to trigger the start of the split screen to realize the split screen display of the shopping APP and the communication APP. Of course, the split screen start control can also be displayed on the interface of the communication APP, which is not limited here.

[0261] Further, when the user clicks the split screen start control 11, Fig.14 As shown in (b), the electronic device displays a shopping app and a communication app in split screen, for example, the shopping app is displayed in area 2 of the display screen, and the communication app is displayed in area 3 of the display screen; of course, the communication app can also be displayed in area 2 of the display screen, and the shopping app can be displayed in area 3 of the display screen, which is not limited here.

[0262] Through the above method 1, when the two apps are frequently switched, a prompt may be provided to turn on the split screen; when the user triggers the split screen, the two app interfaces may be displayed in split screen.

[0263] Method 2: When the first APP and / or the second APP supports floating window display, execute the following steps S203B-S205B.

[0264] S203B, the electronic device displays a floating window opening control through the display screen.

[0265] Among them, the above-mentioned floating window opening control is similar to the above-mentioned split-screen opening control. For the description of the floating window opening control, please refer to the above-mentioned detailed description of the split-screen opening control, which will not be repeated here.

[0266] S204B, the electronic device receives a fourth operation of the user on the floating window opening control.

[0267] For example, the fourth operation is a single-click operation of the user on the floating window opening control. Of course, it can also be any other operation that meets the needs, and this application is not limited.

[0268] S205B, in response to the fourth operation, the electronic device displays the interface of the second APP in a floating window on the interface of the first APP; or displays the interface of the first APP in a floating window on the interface of the second APP.

[0269] For example, combined with Fig.14 To illustrate, in response to the user's trigger switching operation, the display screen 1 of the electronic device switches to display the interface of the shopping APP and the interface of the communication APP. When the electronic device determines that the number of switching between the shopping APP and the communication APP within the preset time is greater than or equal to the preset number, such as Fig.14 As shown in (c), the electronic device displays a floating window opening control 12 on the interface of the shopping APP, and the floating window opening control 12 is used to instruct the user to trigger the opening of the floating window, so as to realize the display of the communication APP interface in a floating window manner on the interface of the shopping APP. Of course, the floating window opening control can also be displayed on the interface of the communication APP, which is not limited here.

[0270] Further, when the user clicks on the floating window opening control 12, as shown in FIG. Fig.14 As shown in (d), the electronic device displays the interface of the communication APP in the form of a floating window 13 on the interface of the shopping APP; of course, the interface of the shopping APP can also be displayed in the form of a floating window on the interface of the communication APP, which is not limited here.

[0271] Through the above-mentioned method 2, when two APPs are frequently switched, a prompt to open a floating window can be provided; when the user triggers the opening of the floating window, one of the two APP interfaces can be displayed on the other APP interface in the form of a floating window.

[0272] Fig.15 The following examples illustrate application scenarios in which two apps may be frequently switched.

[0273] like Fig.15 As shown in (a), the application scenario of two apps that are frequently switched can be a chat-and-select scenario, for example, a user may frequently switch between a communication app and a shopping app.

[0274] like Fig.15 As shown in (b), the application scenario of the two frequently switched apps may be a shopping price comparison scenario. For example, a user may frequently switch between shopping app 1 and shopping app 2.

[0275] like Fig.15 As shown in (c), the application scenario of the two frequently switched APPs may be a document translation scenario. For example, a user may frequently switch between a document APP and a translation APP.

[0276] like Fig.15 As shown in (d), the application scenario of the two frequently switched APPs may be a shopping list alignment scenario. For example, the user may frequently switch between the shopping APP 1 and the memo APP (which records the items to be purchased).

[0277] like Fig.15 As shown in (e), the application scenario of the two frequently switched APPs may be an information query scenario. For example, a user may frequently switch between a travel APP and a browser APP.

[0278] like Fig.15 As shown in (f), the application scenario of the two frequently switched APPs may be a scenario of writing emails and checking information. For example, a user may frequently switch between a mailbox APP and a remote conference APP.

[0279] like Fig.15 As shown in (g), the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be parallel entertainment scenarios. For example, users may frequently switch between video APP and social APP.

[0280] like Fig.15 As shown in (h), the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be parallel office scenarios. For example, a user may frequently switch between a remote conference APP and a document APP.

[0281] like Fig.15 As shown in (i), the application scenario of the two APPs that are frequently switched can be a reading and recording scenario. For example, the user may frequently switch between a reading APP and a memo APP.

[0282] like Fig.15As shown in (j), the application scenario of the two apps that are frequently switched can be an online course learning scenario. For example, a user may frequently switch between a distance education app and a memo app.

[0283] It should be noted that the above examples exemplify some common application scenarios of frequent APP switching. It can be understood that in actual implementation, the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the scenarios listed above, which can be determined based on actual usage requirements and are not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0284] Through this application scheme, it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen demand based on the user's scenario behavior. After determining that there is a split-screen demand, intelligent split-screen services can be provided proactively and in a targeted manner, which can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience. Different window form recommendations can be provided based on the user's current status and recommended services, thereby improving the user experience.

[0285] The above first and second embodiments can be applied to electronic devices with foldable screens as well as to electronic devices with conventional display screens. The third and fourth embodiments below respectively illustrate other possible implementation methods of applying the display method of the application interface provided in the embodiments of the present application to electronic devices with foldable screens.

[0286] Third embodiment

[0287] Fig.16 3 is a flow chart of a method for displaying an application interface provided in the third embodiment of the present application. Fig.16 As shown, the method includes the following steps S301-S305.

[0288] S301, when the foldable screen of the electronic device is in a folded state, the electronic device switches display of the first APP interface and the second APP interface through the external screen.

[0289] S302, the electronic device determines whether the number of switching between the first APP and the second APP within a preset time period is greater than or equal to a preset number.

[0290] In some embodiments, in response to a user's triggering switching operation, the electronic device may switch between at least two APPs, and then the two APPs with the highest switching frequency or the most switching times can be used as the two APPs displayed in split screen.

[0291] If the electronic device determines that the number of switching between the first APP and the second APP within the preset time (for example, 1 minute) is greater than or equal to the preset number (for example, 3 times), the following steps S303-S305 are continued to be executed.

[0292] S303, the electronic device displays split-screen prompt information through the external screen, and the split-screen prompt information is used to prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger the split-screen display.

[0293] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays a split-screen prompt message, if the electronic device receives an operation from the user to unfold the foldable screen within a certain period of time (for example, 5 seconds), the electronic device automatically displays the split screen.

[0294] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays a split-screen prompt message, if the electronic device does not receive any operation from the user within a certain period of time (eg, 5 seconds), the electronic device will automatically close or hide the split-screen function recommendation window.

[0295] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays split-screen prompt information, if the user does not need the split-screen function, the user can trigger the electronic device to close the split-screen prompt information through a preset operation. Accordingly, in response to the user operation, the electronic device can close or hide the split-screen prompt information. Exemplarily, the electronic device closes the split-screen prompt information in response to the user's sliding operation (e.g., sliding upward) on the split-screen prompt information.

[0296] S304, the electronic device detects that the foldable screen changes from a folded state to an unfolded state.

[0297] For example, the electronic device can detect that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state through a Hall sensor provided in the foldable screen. Of course, the electronic device can also detect the state change of the foldable screen in any other possible way.

[0298] In a possible implementation, the electronic device may detect whether the electronic device changes from the folded state to the unfolded state within a second preset time period after the prompt information is displayed. If it is detected that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, step S305 may be executed; if it is not detected that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, the split-screen function recommendation window may be closed or hidden.

[0299] S305, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP in different areas on the inner screen.

[0300] Optionally, when the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP through the inner screen in different areas, the outer screen can be turned off or turned off.

[0301] Through this application scheme, it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen demand based on the user's scenario behavior. After determining that there is a split-screen demand, intelligent split-screen services can be provided proactively and in a targeted manner, which can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience.

[0302] Through the solution provided by the third embodiment, when the outer screen of the foldable screen is lit to display the APP interface, if the electronic device detects that two APPs are frequently switched, the electronic device can prompt the user to trigger the split-screen display by unfolding the foldable screen; further, the user unfolds the foldable screen, and the electronic device can detect that the foldable screen is unfolded accordingly, and then the electronic device lights up the inner screen and displays the two APPs in separate areas of the inner screen. In this way, the split-screen display can be quickly triggered when there is a split-screen demand in the folded state.

[0303] Combine the following Fig.17 The method for displaying the application interface provided by the third embodiment above is exemplarily described.

[0304] like Fig.17 As shown in (a), the foldable screen of the electronic device is in a folded state, and the electronic device displays an APP interface, such as a shopping APP, through the external screen. If the electronic device detects that the shopping APP and the communication APP are frequently switched (i.e., the number of times the shopping APP and the communication APP are switched within a preset time is greater than or equal to a preset number of times), then Fig.17 As shown in (b), the electronic device can display split-screen prompt information 21 through the external screen, and the split-screen prompt information 21 displays the icon of the shopping APP and the icon of the communication APP. The split-screen prompt information 21 is used to prompt the user that the split-screen display can be triggered by unfolding the foldable screen. It should be noted that the electronic device can also display the split-screen prompt information 21 when switching to the display interface of the shopping APP.

[0305] Furthermore, if Fig.17 As shown in (c), when the electronic device detects that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, the electronic device displays the inner screen in a split screen (i.e., in a divided area), for example, the interface of the communication APP is displayed in area 2 of the inner screen, and the interface of the shopping APP is displayed in area 3 of the inner screen. Of course, the electronic device can also display the interface of the shopping APP in area 2 of the inner screen, and display the interface of the communication APP in area 3 of the inner screen, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0306] Through the above-mentioned third embodiment, when the electronic device is in a folded state, when the electronic device detects that two APPs are frequently switched, the electronic device can determine that the current application scenario may have a split-screen requirement, and prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen to quickly trigger the split-screen display of the two APP interfaces, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of users in using the foldable screen.

[0307] The above-mentioned third embodiment illustrates a scenario in which if the electronic device determines that there is a need for split-screen display in a folded state, the user is prompted to quickly trigger the split-screen display. The following fourth embodiment illustrates another scenario in which if the electronic device determines that there is a need for split-screen display in a folded state, the user is prompted to quickly trigger the split-screen display.

[0308] Fourth embodiment

[0309] Fig.18 4 is a flow chart of a method for displaying an application interface provided in the fourth embodiment of the present application. Fig.18 As shown, the method includes the following steps S401-S404.

[0310] S401, when the foldable screen of the electronic device is in a folded state, the electronic device displays an interface of a first APP through an external screen.

[0311] S402, when the electronic device receives a new message from the second APP, the electronic device displays split-screen prompt information through the external screen, and the split-screen prompt information is used to prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger the split-screen display.

[0312] For example, the second APP can be a short message APP, a communication APP, or other APP that can support sending and receiving messages or pushing messages. The specific APP can be determined according to actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0313] S403, the electronic device detects that the foldable screen changes from a folded state to an unfolded state.

[0314] For example, the electronic device can detect that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state through a Hall sensor provided in the foldable screen. Of course, the electronic device can also detect the state change of the foldable screen in any other possible way.

[0315] S404, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP in different areas on the inner screen.

[0316] Optionally, when the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP through the inner screen in different areas, the outer screen can be turned off or turned off.

[0317] In an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in a folded state using an external screen to display application A, if the electronic device receives a new message reminder or prompt box from application B (such as social software, text messages, etc.), the electronic device can prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger split-screen display of application A and application B.

[0318] For example, when the electronic device prompts the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger the split-screen display of application A and application B, the electronic device detects that the foldable screen is unfolded within 5 seconds and displays A / B through the inner screen split screen, so that the user can view or reply to new messages without exiting the current application interface.

[0319] For example, when the electronic device prompts the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger the split-screen display of application A and application B, if the electronic device does not receive the user's operation within 5 seconds, the electronic device triggers the disappearance of the new message prompt box. In this case, if the user unfolds the foldable screen, the inner screen will not be split-screen. Optionally, the inner screen can display application A in full screen.

[0320] Exemplarily, when the electronic device prompts the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger the split-screen display of application A and application B, if the electronic device receives an upward swipe operation by the user on a new message prompt box, the electronic device triggers the new message prompt box to disappear.

[0321] Optionally, the split-screen prompt information can be displayed in the new message prompt box, or it can be displayed independently from the new message prompt box. The specific information can be determined based on actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0322] Through the solution provided by the fourth embodiment, when the outer screen of the foldable screen is lit to display the APP interface, if the electronic device receives a new message, the electronic device can prompt the user to trigger the split-screen display by unfolding the foldable screen; further, when the user unfolds the foldable screen, the electronic device can detect that the foldable screen is unfolded, and then the electronic device lights up the inner screen and displays the currently displayed APP and the new message interface in the inner screen sub-area. In this way, the split-screen display can be quickly triggered when there is a split-screen demand in the folded state.

[0323] Combine the following Fig.19 The method for displaying the application interface provided by the third embodiment above is exemplarily described.

[0324] like Fig.19 As shown in (a), the foldable screen of the electronic device is in a folded state, and the electronic device displays an APP interface 1, such as a browser APP, through the external screen. If the electronic device receives a new message corresponding to the communication APP, then Fig.19 As shown in (b), the electronic device can display a split-screen prompt message 22 through the external screen. The split-screen prompt message 22 displays the icon of the communication APP and prompts that a new message has been received. The split-screen prompt message 22 can be used to prompt the user to trigger the split-screen display by unfolding the foldable screen.

[0325] Furthermore, if Fig.19As shown in (c), when the electronic device detects that the foldable screen changes from a folded state to an unfolded state, the electronic device displays the inner screen in a split screen (i.e., in a divided area), for example, the interface 1 of the browser APP is displayed in area 2 of the inner screen, and the interface 2 of the communication APP is displayed in area 3 of the inner screen (for example, the page where the received new message is located). Of course, the electronic device can also display the interface of the communication APP in area 2 of the inner screen, and display the interface of the browser APP in area 3 of the inner screen, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0326] Through this application scheme, it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen demand based on the user's scenario behavior. After determining that there is a split-screen demand, intelligent split-screen services can be provided proactively and in a targeted manner, which can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience.

[0327] Through the above-mentioned fourth embodiment, when an electronic device in a folded state displays a certain APP, if the electronic device receives a new message, the electronic device can determine that the user may want to keep the current interface and view the new message, that is, the current application scenario has a split-screen requirement. In this case, the electronic device can prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen to quickly trigger the split-screen display, which can improve the convenience and flexibility of the user in using the foldable screen.

[0328] Fig. 20 A schematic diagram of a system framework for applying the display method of the application interface provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The system framework may include a graphical user interface (GUI) layer, an APP layer, an interface layer, and a framework (FWK) layer.

[0329] Among them, the perception application module in the APP layer sends the perception information (for example, information used to represent the frequent switching between two applications, or information used to represent the selected text or picture on the current interface) to the computing engine application module, and then the computing engine application module sends the perception information to the suggestion application module, and then the suggestion application module reports the perception information to the GUI layer (user experience, UX) interface recommendation icon module. The UX interface recommendation icon module displays the APP logo recommended based on the perception information or displays the split-screen opening control.

[0330] Furthermore, when the UX interface recommendation icon module detects the user's operation on the APP logo or the split-screen opening control, the UX interface recommendation icon module sends split-screen indication information to the recommended application module of the APP layer, and then the recommended application module sends the split-screen indication information to the user interface (user interface, UI) software development kit (software development kit, SDK) module of the interface layer, and then the UI SDK module calls the corresponding interface program to send the split-screen indication information to the multi-window startup management module of the FWK layer, and then the multi-window startup management module triggers the multi-window split-screen management module according to the split-screen indication information to realize the split-screen display function.

[0331] The multi-window animation module of the FWK layer can provide the multi-window animation function for the multi-window split screen pair management module. In addition, the multi-window split screen pair management module can call the services of the activity manager service (AMS) module and the window manager service (WMS) module to realize the split screen display function.

[0332] It is understandable that the embodiments of the present application Fig. 20 The illustrated system architecture does not constitute a specific limitation. In other embodiments of the present application, the system architecture may include more or fewer modules than shown in the figure, or combine some modules, or split some modules, or arrange the modules differently.
