Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic equipment technology, and specifically relates to a display method, device, electronic equipment and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, when users are using applications on electronic devices, they need to pay attention to the application's update status. However, if the user is not constantly using the device—for example, if the screen is off or the user is using another program—the screen remains on that interface. Therefore, the user needs to unlock the device periodically to check the application or frequently switch between other interfaces to access its update status. This repetitive and cumbersome process negatively impacts the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a display method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium that can solve the problem that users need to constantly switch to the interface they are interested in in order to know the updated status of the interface.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a display method, executed by an electronic device, the display method comprising:

[0005] Retrieve at least one element from the first interface;

[0006] When the second interface is displayed, an element interface is displayed on the second interface. The second interface includes the display interface of any application in the electronic device other than the application corresponding to the first interface or the screen-off interface of the electronic device. The element interface is used to display the content of the element.

[0007] If the content of an element in the first interface is updated, update the content displayed in that element's interface.

[0008] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a display device for use in electronic devices, the display device comprising:

[0009] A retrieval unit is used to retrieve at least one element from the first interface;

[0010] The display unit is used to display an element interface on the second interface when the second interface is being displayed. The second interface includes the display interface of any application in the electronic device other than the application corresponding to the first interface or the screen-off interface of the electronic device. The element interface is used to display the content of the element.

[0011] The display unit is also used to update the content displayed on the element interface when the content of the element in the first interface is updated.

[0012] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a program or instructions executable on the processor, and the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, implement the steps of the method described in the first aspect.

[0013] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a readable storage medium on which a program or instructions are stored, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the method as described in the first aspect.

[0014] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a chip including a processor and a communication interface coupled to the processor, the processor being used to run programs or instructions to implement the steps of the method as described in the first aspect.

[0015] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product stored in a readable storage medium, which is executed by at least one processor to implement the method as described in the first aspect.

[0016] In this embodiment, when a user uses an electronic device, they may need to monitor the update status of the first interface in real time. When the electronic device displays the first interface, at least one element from the first interface is first acquired. This acquired element is the one whose update status the user needs to monitor in real time. Further, when exiting the first interface and displaying the second interface, an element interface can be displayed on the second interface. Specifically, an interface can be generated based on the acquired elements. The area of ​​this interface can be smaller than the screen area of ​​the electronic device. Then, the acquired elements are displayed on this interface to generate the element interface. That is, the element interface can display the content of the corresponding elements. When the user exits the first interface, i.e., when the electronic device displays the second interface, the generated element interface can be displayed on the second interface. It is understood that the second interface can be the display interface of any application on the electronic device other than the application corresponding to the first interface. That is, after the user exits the first interface, they open other applications on the electronic device, and the interface displayed on the electronic device is the display interface of that application. The generated element interface can be displayed on the display interface of that application, so that when the user exits the first interface and is on the interface of another application, they can still see the content of the elements acquired in the first interface.

[0017] Alternatively, the second interface can be the screen-off interface of the electronic device, that is, when the user does not need to use the phone and therefore adjusts the electronic device to a screen-off state, the element interface is displayed on the screen-off interface of the electronic device, so that the user can still see the content of the elements obtained by the first interface on the screen-off interface of the electronic device after turning off the screen.

[0018] Furthermore, the first interface runs in the background of the electronic device. When the element selected by the user in the first interface is updated, that is, when the content of the element corresponding to the element interface is updated, the content displayed in the element interface can be updated accordingly. This allows the user to view the updated content of the element they are interested in directly through the element interface currently displayed on the screen without opening the first interface, which is more convenient for the user.

[0019] In this embodiment, when the first interface is displayed, at least one element that the user needs to focus on is obtained. Furthermore, when the user exits the first interface and a second interface is displayed, an element interface is shown on the second interface, allowing the user to see the element of interest on the second interface without having to open the first interface. Furthermore, when the content of the element corresponding to the element interface is updated, the element interface on the second interface can be updated in real time according to the updated content of the element. This enables the user to view the update status of the elements on the first interface in real time without opening the first interface, facilitating the viewing of the element update process and improving the user experience.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0032] The display method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, a display method is provided for a display device, the display device including two display modules. Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating the display method of an embodiment of this application is shown, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the display methods include:

[0034] Step 102: Obtain at least one element from the first interface;

[0035] Step 104: If the second interface is displayed, display the element interface on the second interface;

[0036] The second interface includes the display interface of any application in the electronic device other than the application corresponding to the first interface, or the screen-off interface of the electronic device. The element interface is used to display the content of the element.

[0037] Step 106: If the content of the elements in the first interface is updated, update the content displayed in the element interface.

[0038] In this embodiment of the application, when a user uses an electronic device, the user may need to pay attention to the update status of the first interface in real time. Figure 2 One of the interface diagrams illustrating the display method of this application is shown, such as... Figure 2 As shown, when the electronic device displays the first interface 202, at least one element 204 in the first interface 202 is first acquired. The acquired element 204 is the element whose status the user needs to monitor in real time.

[0039] Furthermore, Figure 3 This illustrates a second schematic diagram of the interface for the display method according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, when the user exits the first interface and the second interface is displayed, an element interface can be displayed on the second interface. Specifically, an interface can be generated based on the acquired elements. The area of ​​this interface can be smaller than the area of ​​the electronic device's display screen. Then, the acquired elements are displayed on this interface, generating element interface 208. That is, element interface 208 can display the content of the corresponding elements. When the user exits the first interface, that is, when the electronic device displays the second interface 206, the generated element interface 208 can be displayed on the second interface 206.

[0040] Understandable, Figure 3 This illustrates a second schematic diagram of the interface for the display method according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the second interface 206 can be the display interface of any application on the electronic device other than the application corresponding to the first interface. That is, after the user exits the first interface and opens another application on the electronic device, the interface displayed by the electronic device is the display interface of that application. The generated element interface 208 can be displayed on the display interface of that application, so that when the user exits the first interface and is in the interface of another application, he / she can still see the content of the elements obtained in the first interface.

[0041] or, Figure 5 The fourth schematic diagram of the interface of the display method according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the second interface 206 can also be the screen-off interface of the electronic device, that is, the user does not need to use the mobile phone at this time, so the electronic device is adjusted to the screen-off state. At this time, the element interface 208 is displayed on the screen-off interface of the electronic device, so that the user can still see the content of the elements obtained by the first interface on the screen-off interface of the electronic device after the screen of the electronic device is turned off.

[0042] Furthermore, the first interface runs in the background of the electronic device. When the element selected by the user in the first interface is updated, that is, when the content of the element corresponding to the element interface is updated, the content displayed in the element interface can be updated accordingly. This allows the user to view the updated content of the element they are interested in directly through the element interface currently displayed on the screen without opening the first interface, which is more convenient for the user.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the first interface is displayed, at least one element that the user needs to focus on is obtained. Furthermore, when the user exits the first interface and a second interface is displayed, an element interface is shown on the second interface, allowing the user to see the element of interest on the second interface without having to open the first interface. Furthermore, when the content of the element corresponding to the element interface is updated, the element interface on the second interface can be updated in real time according to the updated content of the element. This enables the user to view the update status of the elements on the first interface in real time without opening the first interface, facilitating the viewing of the element update process and improving the user experience.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, depending on the element, when displaying a second interface, the display method further includes, before displaying the element interface on the second interface:

[0045] Receive the first input for the element;

[0046] In response to the first input, at least one first target content is determined, wherein the first target content is a portion of the content that can be displayed during the content update process of the element;

[0047] Obtain the operation method corresponding to the first target content;

[0048] When the content of an element in the first interface is updated, after updating the content displayed on the element interface, the display methods also include:

[0049] Once the content displayed in the element interface is updated to the first target content, the second interface is operated according to the operation method.

[0050] In this embodiment of the application, before generating the element interface, the user can operate on the elements of the first interface to determine the first target content. The first target content can be used to associate with the operation mode of the second interface. That is, when the second interface is displayed, the user can operate on the second interface through the first target content displayed in the element interface of the second interface, so that the user does not need to perform additional operations on the second interface, thereby improving the user experience.

[0051] Specifically, firstly, a first input to the elements acquired by the first interface is received, and in response to the first input, at least one first target content is determined. It is understandable that, since the elements are constantly updated, the first target content determined by the user is a portion of the content that can be displayed during the element's content update process. That is, after the user exits the first interface, as the elements in the first interface are updated, at some point in the future, the content displayed in the element interface will show the first target content.

[0052] Furthermore, the operation method corresponding to the first target content is obtained, that is, the association between the first target content and the operation method of the second interface is obtained. Specifically, the operation method can be a refresh operation on the second interface, a click operation on a certain position on the second interface, or a close operation on the second interface, etc.

[0053] Furthermore, when the second interface is displayed, the element interface corresponding to the element is displayed on the second interface. When the element on the first interface is updated to the first target content determined by the user, the content of the element interface in the second interface is updated to the first target content accordingly. When the content displayed on the element interface in the second interface is updated to the first target content, the operation mode corresponding to the first target content can be triggered, that is, the second interface is operated according to the operation mode.

[0054] For example, the element obtained by the first interface can be a queue element, namely the text "Current queue progress 10 / 32" displayed on the first interface. The user can edit this text, changing it to "Current queue progress 5 / 32". At this time, "Current queue progress 5 / 32" becomes the first target content. When the user exits the first interface, the text "Current queue progress 10 / 32" is displayed in the element interface of the second interface. As the queue progress on the first interface updates, the queue progress displayed on the second interface is updated synchronously. When the queue progress is updated to "Current queue progress 5 / 32", the element interface on the second interface is also updated to "Current queue progress 5 / 32". At this time, since this text is the first target content preset by the user, the operation mode corresponding to this text is triggered, thereby automatically operating the second interface according to the operation mode corresponding to this text.

[0055] This application embodiment determines the first target content of an element and the operation method corresponding to the first target content. Therefore, when the content of the element interface on the second interface is updated to the first target content, the operation method corresponding to the first target content can be automatically triggered to realize automatic operation of the second interface. Users do not need to operate the second interface according to the progress of the element, thus improving the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, when the displayed content of the element interface is updated to the first target content, the second interface is operated according to the operation method, including:

[0057] Based on the operation method, determine the operation controls in the second interface that correspond to the operation method;

[0058] Associate the first target content with the operation controls;

[0059] Once the content displayed in the element interface is updated to the first target content, perform operations on the control.

[0060] In this embodiment, the operation control in the second interface corresponding to the operation mode corresponding to the first target content can be determined firstly. For example, when the first target content is displayed in the element interface, the second interface can be closed. In this case, the operation control for closing the second interface can be associated with the first target content.

[0061] Furthermore, when the displayed content of the element interface is updated to the first content, the operation control associated with the first target content can be identified, and the operation on that operation control can be executed to complete the process of operating the second interface through the first target content. For example, when the first target content is associated with the operation control for closing the second interface, when the content in the element interface is updated to the first target content, the closing operation control of the second interface can be retrieved and its operation executed to close the second interface.

[0062] This application embodiment associates the first target content with the operation controls of the second interface, so that after the element interface is updated to the first target content, the operation controls can be used to perform corresponding operations on the second interface. This enables the operation of the second interface through the first target content, eliminating the need for the user to operate the second interface according to the progress of the element, thus improving the user experience.

[0063] For example, the element acquired by the first interface can be a queue element, which is the "Current Queue Progress 10 / 32" text displayed on the first interface. The user can edit this text, changing it to "Current Queue Progress 0 / 32". At this point, the "Current Queue Progress 0 / 32" text can be associated with the close operation control on the second interface. When the user exits the first interface, the "Current Queue Progress 10 / 32" text is displayed in the element interface of the second interface. As the queue progress on the first interface updates, the queue progress displayed on the second interface updates synchronously. When the queue progress updates to "Current Queue Progress 0 / 32", the element interface on the second interface also updates to "Current Queue Progress 0 / 32". At this point, it can be determined that the queuing task is complete. The close operation control on the second interface can then be invoked and executed to close the element interface without manual intervention from the user. Additionally, after the element interface is closed, a second notification can be issued to inform the user that the element interface has been closed and the element the user is interested in has completed the update process.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, in response to a first input, determining at least one first target content includes:

[0065] Capture the portion of the first interface that includes elements, and generate an element screenshot;

[0066] Edit the element screenshot to make the content in the element screenshot the primary target content.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first target content can be determined by taking a screenshot of the elements displayed on the first interface and editing the screenshot. Specifically, when the first interface is displayed, the elements that the user needs to focus on in the first interface can be captured to generate an element screenshot.

[0068] Then, the element screenshot is edited to make the content in the element screenshot the primary target content, thus achieving the determination of the primary target content.

[0069] For example, the element acquired by the first interface can be a queuing element, namely the text "Waiting for 10 tables" displayed on the first interface. The user can crop the area containing this text to generate a screenshot containing the queuing element. Then, the user can edit the content of the element in the screenshot, changing "10" to "5". At this point, the text in the screenshot becomes "Waiting for 5 tables", which is the first target content. Alternatively, when editing the screenshot, different editing methods can represent different reminder conditions or methods. For example, selecting text and changing its color sets the first target content to the text's color. During element updates, when the selected text's color changes to the set color, it represents the currently displayed content as the first target content.

[0070] This application embodiment can determine the first target content by taking a screenshot of the element and editing the screenshot, and then perform corresponding operations when the content displayed on the element interface is updated to the first target content.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, when the content of an element in the first interface is updated, after updating the content displayed on the element interface, the display method further includes:

[0072] When the second target content is displayed in the element interface, the first prompt message is output. The second target content is a part of the content that can be displayed during the element's content update process, and the first prompt message corresponds one-to-one with the second target content.

[0073] In this embodiment of the application, during the process of displaying the content of an element through an element interface in the second interface, when the content of the element is updated, the content displayed in the element interface is updated synchronously with the content of the element. Simultaneously, when the content displayed in the element interface is updated to the second target content, a first prompt message can also be output to notify the user that the content displayed in the element interface has been updated to the second target content.

[0074] For example, the element obtained by the first interface can be a queue element, namely the text "Current queue progress 10 / 32" displayed on the first interface. The user can edit this text, changing it to "Current queue progress 5 / 32". At this time, "Current queue progress 5 / 32" becomes the second target content. When the user exits the first interface, the text "Current queue progress 10 / 32" is displayed in the element interface of the second interface. As the queue progress on the first interface updates, the queue progress displayed on the second interface is updated synchronously. When the queue progress is updated to "Current queue progress 5 / 32", the element interface on the second interface is also updated to "Current queue progress 5 / 32". At this time, the first prompt message can be issued to inform the user of the current queue progress, thereby facilitating the user to plan their trip according to the current queue.

[0075] This application embodiment issues a first prompt message when the second target content is displayed on the element interface, thereby prompting the user on the progress of the element currently being monitored, so as to facilitate the user to arrange subsequent matters according to the progress of the current element, thus improving the user experience.

[0076] In some embodiments of this application, when the content of an element in the first interface is updated, after updating the content displayed on the element interface, the display method further includes:

[0077] If the third target content is displayed in one of the element interface and the second interface, close the other of the element interface and the second interface. The third target content is a part of the content that can be displayed during the content update process of the element interface and the second interface.

[0078] In this embodiment of the application, after the user exits the first interface, the element interface is displayed in the second interface. At this time, the content displayed in the second interface can be compared with the content displayed in the element interface, and then the second interface or the element interface can be operated according to the comparison result.

[0079] Specifically, if the third target content is displayed in one of the element interface and the second interface, the other of the element interface and the second interface can be closed.

[0080] For example, both the first and second interfaces display "in queue," meaning the user is simultaneously queuing through both interfaces. The element retrieved in the first interface is the queue element, specifically the text "Current queue progress 10 / 32" displayed there. The user can edit this text, changing it to "Current queue progress 5 / 32," which then becomes the third target content. When the user exits the first interface, "Current queue progress 10 / 32" will be displayed in both the second interface and the element interface. As the queue progress updates, both the queue progress displayed in the second interface and the element interface will update. When the queue progress displayed in the second interface updates to "Current queue progress 5 / 32," it indicates that queuing is complete, and the element interface can be closed. Conversely, when the content displayed in the element interface updates to "Current queue progress 5 / 32," it also indicates that queuing is complete, and the second interface can be closed.

[0081] This application embodiment compares the displayed content in the second interface and the element interface, and then performs operations on the second interface and the element interface based on the comparison results, thereby further facilitating users to view and operate the element process and further improving the user experience.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, when the second interface is displayed, the display method further includes, before the element interface is displayed on the second interface:

[0083] Get the element type of the element, where the element type includes image and text type and task progress type;

[0084] Generate an element interface based on the element type.

[0085] In this embodiment, the specific form of the element interface can be generated according to the element type, thereby facilitating user viewing. Specifically, after obtaining the elements of the first interface, the element type is first obtained, which can include image / text type and task progress type. For example, the image / text type is an image or text, meaning the content displayed by the element is an image or text. The task progress type can be the progress status of the task, such as queuing progress, download progress, etc.

[0086] Furthermore, an element interface is generated based on the element type. Specifically, when the element type is an image, the element interface can be directly displayed as a rectangular or other shaped area, where the image or text can be directly displayed.

[0087] If the element type is a task progress type, the element interface can be set to the form of a progress capsule. The progress of the task can be displayed by changing the color inside the progress capsule. At the same time, a text tooltip can be displayed inside or outside the progress capsule to indicate the progress of the task in textual terms.

[0088] For example, Figure 4 The third schematic diagram of the interface of the display method according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the element obtained by the first interface can be a queuing element, which is the "Current Queue Progress 9 / 32" text displayed on the first interface. At this time, it can be determined that this element is a task progress element. Therefore, the element interface 208 can be set to the form of a progress capsule and displayed on the second interface 206. The queuing progress is displayed in the progress capsule by changing the color. At the same time, the "Current Queue Progress 9 / 32" text is displayed in the progress capsule or above the progress capsule to indicate the queuing progress in text form.

[0089] This application embodiment obtains the element type of an element, thereby determining the display method of the element interface based on the element type. This allows users to view the update status of the currently viewed elements more intuitively and accurately through the element interface, further improving the user experience.

[0090] Furthermore, while the element interface is displayed on the second interface, the user can also operate on the element interface to adjust its position. Specifically, when the element interface is displayed, a second input to the element interface is received, causing the electronic device to respond to the second input and adjust the position of the element interface.

[0091] Specifically, the second input can be a drag operation on the element interface. Users can press and hold the element interface with their finger and then drag it to the target position according to their own needs.

[0092] in addition, Figure 6 The fifth schematic diagram of the interface of the display method according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 6 As shown, when the user drags the element interface 208 to the vicinity of the status bar 210 above the second interface 206, the element interface 208 can be directly displayed in the status bar 210, so that the element interface 208 does not need to occupy the position of the second interface 206, which further facilitates the user's viewing of the second interface 206.

[0093] This application embodiment allows for adjustment of the element interface's position through a second input, enabling users to set the element interface's position according to their needs, further facilitating the user's viewing of the second interface and improving the user experience.

[0094] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic device includes a first electronic device and a second electronic device, which are interconnected. A first interface is displayed on the first electronic device, and when a second interface is displayed, an element interface is displayed on the second interface, including:

[0095] Acquire the display screen of the second electronic device;

[0096] When the second electronic device displays the second interface, the element interface is sent to the second electronic device;

[0097] The element interface is displayed on the second interface of the second electronic device.

[0098] In this embodiment, the element interface can also be displayed on an electronic device different from the first interface. Specifically, the electronic device may include a first electronic device and a second electronic device, wherein the first interface is displayed on the first electronic device and the second interface is displayed on the second electronic device. Furthermore, the first electronic device and the second electronic device are connected.

[0099] When a user uses both the first and second electronic devices, elements from the first interface on the first electronic device can be displayed on the second interface on the second electronic device. In other words, the element interface is displayed on the second interface of the second electronic device, allowing the user to view the progress of the first interface on the first electronic device through the second electronic device. Specifically, when the second electronic device displays the second interface, the element interface can be sent from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, enabling the element interface to be displayed on the second interface of the second electronic device.

[0100] Figure 7 The sixth schematic diagram of the interface of the display method according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, a user obtains at least one element from the first interface of a first electronic device, and then generates an element interface 208 based on the element. The generated element interface 208 can then be displayed on the second interface 206 of a second electronic device. The second interface 206 can be the display interface of an application on the second electronic device, or the always-on screen of the second electronic device.

[0101] This application embodiment displays the element interface on a second electronic device that is different from the first interface. This allows the user of the second electronic device to view the updated elements of the first interface on the first electronic device, thus achieving information sharing. Simultaneously, it reduces the display load on the first electronic device and saves power consumption.

[0102] In some embodiments of this application, a display device is provided. Figure 8 A structural block diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of this application is shown, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the display device 800 includes:

[0103] Acquisition unit 802 is used to acquire at least one element in the first interface;

[0104] Display unit 804 is used to display an element interface on the second interface when the second interface is being displayed. The second interface includes the display interface of any application in the electronic device other than the application corresponding to the first interface or the screen-off interface of the electronic device. The element interface is used to display the content of the element.

[0105] The display unit 804 is also used to update the content displayed on the element interface when the content of the element in the first interface is updated.
