Through the method and the electronic device, when the electronic device is in a horizontal screen display state, the floating window displayed on its screen is also in a horizontal screen display state, which can fully utilize the display space of the floating window and reduce the scaling degree of the content in the floating window, thereby significantly improving the user experience.

[0004] In a first aspect, a method for displaying a floating window is provided, the method comprising: in response to an operation triggered by a user to display a first floating window on a screen of a first electronic device, determining a display state of the first electronic device, the display state of the first electronic device comprising a horizontal display or a vertical display; when the display state of the first electronic device is a horizontal display, displaying the first floating window in a horizontal manner on the screen of the first electronic device; or, when the display state of the first electronic device is a vertical display, displaying the first floating window in a vertical manner on the screen of the first electronic device.

[0005] The horizontal screen display of the first electronic device refers to the horizontal screen display of the content displayed on the screen of the first electronic device, and the vertical screen display of the first electronic device refers to the vertical screen display of the content displayed on the screen of the first electronic device.

[0006] Similarly, the display state of the first floating window also includes horizontal display or vertical display, wherein horizontal display refers to the first floating window being displayed horizontally on the screen of the electronic device, and the content displayed in the first floating window is relative to the horizontal display of the first floating window, and vertical display refers to the first floating window being displayed vertically on the screen of the electronic device, and the content displayed in the first floating window is relative to the vertical display of the first floating window.

[0007] In some embodiments, the user triggers the operation of displaying the first floating window on the screen of the first electronic device, which may be triggering the display of the first floating window corresponding to the application through the recent task list; or triggering the display of the first floating window through the setting function of the first electronic device; or automatically triggering the display of the first floating window when the application retreats to the background; or other operations that trigger the display of the first floating window, such as projecting or expanding the first floating window to the screen of the first electronic device, which is not limited in the present application.

[0008] The operation of extending the first floating window to the screen of the first electronic device may also be described as: the operation of migrating the first floating window to the screen of the first electronic device.

[0009] In an embodiment of the present application, the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the floating window triggered to be displayed on the electronic device is the same as the current horizontal or vertical screen display state of the electronic device. In this way, when the electronic device is in the horizontal screen display state, the floating window is also in the horizontal screen display state, which can make full use of the display space of the floating window and reduce the zoom level of the content in the floating window, thereby significantly improving the user's viewing experience and usage experience.

[0011] That is, the display state of the first floating window displayed on the first electronic device is switched synchronously with the switching of the display state of the first electronic device.

[0012] In an embodiment of the present application, the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the floating window displayed on the screen of the electronic device is the same as the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the electronic device, and will adaptively switch with the switching of the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the electronic device.

[0160] The pressure sensor 180A is used to sense the pressure signal and can convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 180A can be set on the display screen 194. There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, etc. The capacitive pressure sensor can be a parallel plate including at least two conductive materials. When a force acts on the pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. The electronic device 100 determines the intensity of the pressure according to the change in capacitance. When a touch operation acts on the display screen 194, the electronic device 100 detects the touch operation intensity according to the pressure sensor 180A. The electronic device 100 can also calculate the touch position according to the detection signal of the pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations acting on the same touch position but with different touch operation intensities can correspond to different operation instructions. For example: when a touch operation with a touch operation intensity less than the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon, an instruction to view the short message is executed. When a touch operation with a touch operation intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon, an instruction to create a new short message is executed.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 uses the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 180J to execute a temperature processing strategy. For example, when the temperature reported by the temperature sensor 180J exceeds a threshold, the electronic device 100 reduces the performance of a processor located near the temperature sensor 180J to reduce power consumption and implement thermal protection. In other embodiments, when the temperature is lower than another threshold, the electronic device 100 heats the battery 142 to avoid abnormal shutdown of the electronic device 100 due to low temperature. In other embodiments, when the temperature is lower than another threshold, the electronic device 100 performs a boost on the output voltage of the battery 142 to avoid abnormal shutdown caused by low temperature.

[0170] The touch sensor 180K is also called a "touch panel". The touch sensor 180K can be set on the display screen 194, and the touch sensor 180K and the display screen 194 form a touch screen, also called a "touch screen". The touch sensor 180K is used to detect touch operations acting on or near it. The touch sensor can pass the detected touch operation to the application processor to determine the type of touch event. Visual output related to the touch operation can be provided through the display screen 194. In other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K can also be set on the surface of the electronic device 100, which is different from the position of the display screen 194.

[0171] The bone conduction sensor 180M can obtain a vibration signal. In some embodiments, the bone conduction sensor 180M can obtain a vibration signal of a vibrating bone block of the vocal part of the human body. The bone conduction sensor 180M can also contact the human pulse to receive a blood pressure beat signal. In some embodiments, the bone conduction sensor 180M can also be set in an earphone and combined into a bone conduction earphone. The audio module 170 can parse out a voice signal based on the vibration signal of the vibrating bone block of the vocal part obtained by the bone conduction sensor 180M to realize a voice function. The application processor can parse the heart rate information based on the blood pressure beat signal obtained by the bone conduction sensor 180M to realize a heart rate detection function.

[0172] The key 190 includes a power key, a volume key, etc. The key 190 may be a mechanical key or a touch key. The electronic device 100 may receive key input and generate key signal input related to user settings and function control of the electronic device 100.

[0173] Motor 191 can generate vibration prompts. Motor 191 can be used for incoming call vibration prompts, and can also be used for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations acting on different applications (such as taking pictures, audio playback, etc.) can correspond to different vibration feedback effects. For touch operations acting on different areas of the display screen 194, motor 191 can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Different application scenarios (for example: time reminders, receiving messages, alarm clocks, games, etc.) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect can also support customization.

[0174] Indicator 192 may be an indicator light, which may be used to indicate charging status, power changes, messages, missed calls, notifications, etc.

[0175] The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect a SIM card. The SIM card can be connected to and separated from the electronic device 100 by inserting it into the SIM card interface 195 or pulling it out from the SIM card interface 195. The electronic device 100 can support 1 or N SIM card interfaces, where N is a positive integer greater than 1. The SIM card interface 195 can support Nano SIM cards, Micro SIM cards, SIM cards, and the like. Multiple cards can be inserted into the same SIM card interface 195 at the same time. The types of the multiple cards can be the same or different. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with different types of SIM cards. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with external memory cards. The electronic device 100 interacts with the network through the SIM card to implement functions such as calls and data communications. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 uses an embedded SIM (eSIM) card, i.e., an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the electronic device 100 and cannot be separated from the electronic device 100.

[0176] It should be understood that the phone card in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to a SIM card, an eSIM card, a universal subscriber identity module (USIM), a universal integrated circuit card (UICC), and the like.

[0177] The software system of the electronic device 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. The embodiment of the present application takes the Android system of the layered architecture as an example to exemplify the software structure of the electronic device 100.

[0178] Figure 2 1 is a software structure diagram of the electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application. The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each layer has a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, namely, the application layer, the application framework layer, the Android runtime (Android runtime) and the system library, and the kernel layer. The application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0179] like Figure 2 As shown, the application package may include camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, short message and other applications.

[0180] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0181] like Figure 2 As shown, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

[0182] The window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the display screen size, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, capture the screen, etc.

[0183] Content providers are used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. The data may include videos, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

[0184] The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying images, etc. The view system can be used to build applications. A display interface can be composed of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text notification icon can include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying images.

[0185] The phone manager is used to provide communication functions of the electronic device 100, such as management of call status (including connecting, hanging up, etc.).

[0186] The resource manager provides various resources for applications, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, and so on.

[0187] The notification manager enables applications to display notification information in the status bar. It can be used to convey notification-type messages and can disappear automatically after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to notify download completion, message reminders, etc. The notification manager can also be a notification that appears in the system top status bar in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as notifications of applications running in the background, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is displayed in the status bar, a prompt sound is emitted, an electronic device vibrates, an indicator light flashes, etc.

[0188] Android Runtime includes core libraries and virtual machines. Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

[0189] The core library consists of two parts: one part is the function that needs to be called by the Java language, and the other part is the Android core library.

[0190] The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0191] The system library may include multiple functional modules, such as surface manager, media libraries, 3D graphics processing library (such as OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (such as SGL), etc.

[0192] The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide the fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

[0193] The media library supports playback and recording of a variety of commonly used audio and video formats, as well as static image files, etc. The media library can support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

[0194] The 3D graphics processing library is used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing.

[0195] A 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawings.

[0196] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer contains at least display driver, camera driver, audio driver, and sensor driver.

[0197] It should be understood that the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application can be used in Android, IOS, Hongmeng and other systems.

[0198] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the display scenario of the floating window of the electronic device.

[0199] The electronic device in the embodiments of the present application may be a television, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a camera, a camcorder, a video recorder, or other electronic devices with a screen display function, an electronic device in a 5G network, or an electronic device in a public land mobile communication network (PLMN) to be evolved in the future, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0200] As the functions of terminal devices become more diverse, floating windows enable users to use different device functions on one screen at the same time, thereby improving the user experience.

[0201] In order to more clearly understand the solution provided by this application, the technical terms involved in this application are first introduced below.

[0202] 1. Floating window

[0203] The floating window is based on tasks. By controlling the size of the window so that it does not fill the entire screen and the window level is at the top, the purpose of floating the window is achieved. Floating windows are usually used to temporarily process another task based on an existing task, or to use multiple tasks in parallel for a short period of time. For example, replying to chat messages while playing games, temporarily using a calculator while shopping, etc. In addition, during this time period, the user's attention is more focused on the task of the floating window.

[0204] Below, taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, illustratively, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an existing floating window display interface is shown.

[0205] like Figure 3 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device 300 is in a horizontal display state, and a memo interface is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device 300; on this basis, when the user wishes to start a floating window display of an application, the user can slide his finger upward from the bottom of the display screen of the electronic device 300, and the display interface of the electronic device 300 is as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in (b) of FIG. 1 , the display screen of the electronic device 300 displays a list of recent tasks in a horizontal screen. Specifically, the display screen of the electronic device 300 displays a plurality of recently used applications (which can also be described as applications that have retreated to the background), and the user can view these recent tasks by sliding left and right, such as Figure 3As shown in (b) in the figure, the display interface of the electronic device 300, for example, displays the application interface of the recent task "Huawei Video", and also displays the application interface of the recent task "SMS". A part of the "Smart Life" application interface is displayed on the left of the "Huawei Video" application interface (when the user slides the recent task list to the right, the "Smart Life" application interface can be fully displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 300, and the "Huawei Video" application interface is partially displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 300). Below the "Huawei Video" application interface, icons of all applications in the recent task list are displayed, namely: Sports Health, Smart Life, Browser (it should be understood that since the "Huawei Video" application interface and the "SMS" application interface are on the electronic device 300 is fully displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 300, so the icons corresponding to the Huawei video application and the icons corresponding to the text message application are not displayed here), and one or more application interfaces displayed in the display interface of the electronic device 300 (for example: Huawei video application interface, text message application interface or smart life application interface) are respectively associated with a control 301 in the upper right corner, and the control 301 is used by the user to switch the associated application interface to a floating window display; for example, when the user clicks the control 301 associated with the Huawei video application interface, a floating window 302 corresponding to the "Huawei Video" application is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device 300 (for example: memo display interface). At this time, the electronic device 300 still remains in a horizontal screen display state, and the floating window 302 is in a vertical screen display state (such as Figure 3 ).

[0206] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the floating window display of a certain application is launched through the recent task list. This is only an exemplary description of triggering the floating window display by an electronic device, and does not constitute any limitation on the method of triggering the floating window display in this application. For example, the display of the floating window can also be triggered through the setting function of the electronic device, and the display of the floating window can also be triggered when the application switches to the background.

[0207] For example, Figure 4 Another conventional floating window display interface schematic diagram is shown.

[0208] like Figure 4 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the electronic device 400 is in a vertical screen display state, and a memo interface is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device 400; on this basis, when the user wishes to start a floating window display of an application, the user can slide his finger upward from the bottom of the display screen of the electronic device 400, and the display interface of the electronic device 400 is as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown in (b) of FIG. 4 , a recent task list is displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 400. Specifically, a plurality of recently used applications (which can also be described as applications that have retreated to the background) are displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 400. The user can view these recent tasks by sliding left and right, such as Figure 4 As shown in (b) in the figure, the display interface of the electronic device 400, for example, displays the application interface of the recent task "Huawei Video", and also displays a part of the application interface of the recent task "SMS" (when the user slides the recent task list to the right, the "SMS" application interface can be fully displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 300). Below the "Huawei Video" application interface, icons of all applications in the recent task list are displayed, namely: Sports Health, Smart Life, SMS, Browser (It should be understood that since the "Huawei Video" application interface is fully displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 400, the corresponding application interface of the Huawei Video application is not displayed here. ), and one or more application interfaces (for example, Huawei video application interface or SMS application interface) displayed in the display interface of the electronic device 400 are respectively associated with a control 401 in the upper right corner, and the control 401 is used by the user to switch the associated application interface to a floating window display; for example, when the user clicks the control 401 associated with the Huawei video application interface, a floating window 402 corresponding to the "Huawei video" application is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device 400 (for example, a memo display interface). At this time, the electronic device 400 still remains in a vertical screen display state, and the floating window 402 is in a vertical screen display state (such as Figure 4 On this basis, when the user switches the display state of the electronic device 400 from the vertical screen display to the horizontal screen display (for example, by rotating the electronic device 400 by 90°), the electronic device 400 is in the horizontal screen display state, and the floating window 402 is still in the vertical screen display state (as shown in (c) in FIG. Figure 4 (as shown in (d) in the figure).

[0209] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the floating window display of a certain application is launched through the recent task list. This is only an exemplary description of triggering the floating window display by an electronic device, and does not constitute any limitation on the method of triggering the floating window display in this application. For example, the display of the floating window can also be triggered through the setting function of the electronic device, and the display of the floating window can also be triggered when the application switches to the background.

[0210] It should be understood that in order to describe the solution provided by the present application more clearly, the embodiments in the present application are described using the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, wherein the electronic device may also be, for example, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer or a television, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0211] From the above, it can be seen that the display state of the existing floating window on the terminal device is independent of the display state of the terminal device, and is always in a vertical display state. For example, when the terminal device is in a horizontal display state, the floating window displayed on its screen is in a vertical display state, which will result in a smaller display space for the floating window, and then cause the content of the floating window to be displayed in a larger scale, and the operability and viewing performance will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the display mode of the existing floating window is relatively rigid, and it cannot fully utilize the display space of the floating window, and cannot be well adapted to the scenario where the terminal device is in a horizontal display state.

[0212] In view of this, the present application provides a method and electronic device for displaying a floating window, which can match the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the floating window with the horizontal and vertical screen states of the terminal device, thereby making full use of the display space of the floating window and increasing the proportion of content displayed in the floating window, thereby improving the user experience.

[0213] The terms used in the following embodiments are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be used as limitations on the present application. As used in the specification and the appended claims of the present application, the singular expressions "one", "a kind of", "said", "above", "the" and "this" are intended to also include expressions such as "one or more", unless there is a clear contrary indication in the context. It should also be understood that in the following embodiments of the present application, "at least one", "one or more" refer to one, two or more. The term "and / or" is used to describe the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist; for example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0214] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, the phrases "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "another embodiment", "some other embodiments", etc. appearing in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0215] In the following, the electronic device is taken as an example of a mobile phone, and illustratively, Figures 5 to 9 , an interface schematic diagram corresponding to the method for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced.

[0216] For example, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of an interface for displaying a floating window provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment can be applied to a scenario where a user pulls up a floating window for display, for example.

[0217] like Figure 5 As shown in (a) of FIG. 5 , the electronic device 500 is in a horizontal display state, and a memo interface is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device 500; on this basis, when the user wishes to start a floating window display of an application, the user can slide his finger upward from the bottom of the display screen of the electronic device 500, and the display interface of the electronic device 500 is as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in (b) of FIG. 5 , the display screen of the electronic device 500 displays a list of recent tasks in a horizontal screen. Specifically, the display screen of the electronic device 500 displays a plurality of recently used applications (which can also be described as applications that have retreated to the background), and the user can view these recent tasks by sliding left and right, such as Figure 5 As shown in (b) in the figure, the display interface of the electronic device 500, for example, displays the application interface of the recent task "Huawei Video", and also displays the application interface of the recent task "SMS". A part of the "Smart Life" application interface is displayed on the left of the "Huawei Video" application interface (when the user slides the recent task list to the right, the "Smart Life" application interface can be fully displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 500, and the "Huawei Video" application interface is partially displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 500). Below the "Huawei Video" application interface, icons of all applications in the recent task list are displayed, namely: Sports Health, Smart Life, Browser (it should be understood that: since the "Huawei Video" application interface and the "SMS" application interface are on the electronic device 500 is fully displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 500, so the icons corresponding to the Huawei video application and the icons corresponding to the text message application are not displayed here), and one or more application interfaces displayed in the display interface of the electronic device 500 (for example: Huawei video application interface, text message application interface or smart life application interface) are respectively associated with a control 501 in the upper right corner, and the control 501 is used by the user to switch the associated application interface to a floating window display; for example, when the user clicks on the control 501 associated with the Huawei video application interface, a floating window 502 corresponding to the "Huawei Video" application is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device 500 (for example: memo display interface). At this time, the electronic device 500 still remains in a horizontal screen display state, and the floating window 502 is also in a horizontal screen display state (such as Figure 5 ).

[0218] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the floating window display of a certain application is launched through the recent task list. This is only an exemplary description of triggering the floating window display by an electronic device, and does not constitute any limitation on the method of triggering the floating window display in this application. For example, the display of the floating window can also be triggered through the setting function of the electronic device, and the display of the floating window can also be triggered when the application switches to the background.

[0219] It should be understood that in order to describe the solution provided by the present application more clearly, the embodiments in the present application are described using the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, wherein the electronic device may also be, for example, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer or a television, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0220] It should be understood that: the embodiment of the present application takes the floating window 502 as the floating window corresponding to the video application as an example for explanation, but this does not constitute any limitation on the floating window. The floating window 502 can also be, for example, a floating window corresponding to an information application, a floating window corresponding to a browser application, or a floating window corresponding to any other application or any application-related functional interface. The present application does not limit this.

[0221] In an embodiment of the present application, when the display of a floating window is triggered when the display state of the terminal device is in the horizontal screen display state, the display state of the triggered floating window is also the horizontal screen display. That is to say, the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the floating window triggered by the terminal device are synchronized with the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the terminal device. In this way, when the terminal device is in the horizontal screen display state, the floating window is in the horizontal screen display state. Compared with the vertical screen display state, the floating window in the horizontal screen display state has a larger display space, and the displayed content does not require a large scaling; moreover, the content display interface occupies a larger proportion in the floating window, and the display space of the floating window can be more fully utilized.

[0222] For example, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of another interface for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0223] like Figure 6 As shown in (a) of the figure, the electronic device 600 is in a horizontal display state, a memo interface is displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 600, and a floating window 601 is displayed on the current display interface of the electronic device 600. The display state of the floating window 601 is the same as the current display state of the electronic device 600, which is also a horizontal display state; when the user switches the display interface of the electronic device 600 to a vertical display state (for example, by rotating the electronic device 600 by 90°), the display interface of the electronic device 600 is as shown in FIG. Figure 6As shown in (b), in the display interface, a memo interface is displayed, and a floating window 601 is also displayed. The display state of the floating window 601 switches synchronously with the switching of the display state of the electronic device 600, and also switches from the horizontal screen display state to the vertical screen display state.

[0224] It should be understood that in order to describe the solution provided by the present application more clearly, the embodiments in the present application are described using the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, wherein the electronic device may also be, for example, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer or a television, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0225] It should be understood that: the embodiment of the present application takes the floating window 601 as the floating window corresponding to the video application as an example for explanation, but this does not constitute any limitation on the floating window. The floating window 601 can also be, for example, a floating window corresponding to an information application, a floating window corresponding to a browser application, or a floating window corresponding to any other application or any application-related functional interface, and the present application does not limit this. In addition, the floating windows described in other embodiments of the present application are subject to the same explanation, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated in the relevant description below.

[0226] In an embodiment of the present application, the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the floating window displayed on the terminal device are synchronized with the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the terminal device. In this way, when the terminal device is in the horizontal screen display state, the floating window is in the horizontal screen display state. Compared with the vertical screen display state, the floating window in the horizontal screen display state has a larger display space, and the displayed content does not require a large scale; moreover, the content display interface occupies a larger proportion in the floating window, and the display space of the floating window can be more fully utilized.

[0227] For example, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of another interface for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0228] like Figure 7 As shown in (a) of FIG. 7 , the electronic device 700 is in a vertical screen display state, and a memo interface is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device 700; on this basis, when the user wishes to start a floating window display of an application, the user can slide his finger upward from the bottom of the display screen of the electronic device 700, and the display interface of the electronic device 700 is as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown in (b) of FIG. 1 , a recent task list is displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 700. Specifically, a plurality of recently used applications (which can also be described as applications that have retreated to the background) are displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 700. The user can view these recent tasks by sliding left and right, such as Figure 7As shown in (b) in the figure, the display interface of the electronic device 700, for example, displays the application interface of the recent task "Huawei Video", and also displays a part of the application interface of the recent task "SMS" (when the user slides the recent task list to the right, the "SMS" application interface can be fully displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 300). Below the "Huawei Video" application interface, icons of all applications in the recent task list are displayed, namely: Sports Health, Smart Life, SMS, Browser (It should be understood that since the "Huawei Video" application interface is fully displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 700, the corresponding application interface of the Huawei Video application is not displayed here. ), and one or more application interfaces (for example, Huawei video application interface or SMS application interface) displayed in the display interface of the electronic device 700 are respectively associated with a control 701 in the upper right corner, and the control 701 is used by the user to switch the associated application interface to a floating window display; for example, when the user clicks the control 701 associated with the Huawei video application interface, a floating window 702 corresponding to the "Huawei video" application is displayed on the display interface of the electronic device 700 (for example, a memo display interface). At this time, the electronic device 700 still remains in a vertical screen display state, and the floating window 702 is in a vertical screen display state (such as Figure 7 On this basis, when the user switches the display state of the electronic device 700 from the portrait display to the landscape display (for example, by rotating the electronic device 700 by 90°), the electronic device 700 is in the landscape display state, and the display state of the floating window 702 is switched synchronously with the switching of the display state of the electronic device 700, that is, the display state of the floating window 702 is switched from the portrait display state to the landscape display state (as shown in (c) in FIG. 1 ). Figure 7 (as shown in (d) in the figure).

[0229] For example, Figure 8 A schematic diagram of another interface for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0230] like Figure 8 As shown in (a), the electronic device 800 is in a portrait display state, a memo interface is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 800, and a floating window 801 is also displayed on the current interface of the electronic device 800, the floating window 801 is also in a portrait display state, and the floating window 801 is associated with a control 802, the control 802 is used by the user to switch the horizontal and vertical display states of the floating window; when the user hopes to change the floating window 801 to a horizontal display state while the display state of the electronic device 800 remains in a portrait display state, the user can click the control 802 to switch the display state of the floating window from the current vertical display state to the vertical display state. Figure 8At the same time, the display state of the floating window 801 is locked and always remains in the horizontal display state, and no longer switches synchronously with the switching of the display state of the electronic device 800, such as Figure 8 As shown in (b) in the figure, after the display state of the floating window is switched by the control 802, the floating window 801 is no longer associated with the control 802, but is associated with the control 803, and the control 803 is used to indicate that the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the floating window 801 are locked. The control 803 is also used by the user to unlock the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the floating window 801; on this basis, when the user switches the display state of the electronic device 800 from the vertical screen display to the horizontal screen display state (for example, by rotating the electronic device 800 by 90°), the display state of the floating window 801 remains in the horizontal screen display state (for example, Figure 8 ); when the user further switches the display state of the electronic device 800 from the horizontal screen display to the vertical screen display state (for example, by rotating the electronic device 800 by 90 degrees), since the display state of the floating window 801 is in the locked state, the display state of the floating window 801 remains in the horizontal screen display state (as shown in (c) in FIG. 1 ); Figure 8 (as shown in (d) in the figure).

[0231] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can switch the floating window displayed in portrait mode to a floating window displayed in landscape mode with one click as needed, and trigger the locking of the floating window display state at the same time, so that the floating window can be displayed in landscape mode on the screen of the electronic device in portrait mode, and the floating window can be kept in landscape mode without switching with the switching of the display state of the electronic device. Compared with the portrait mode, the floating window in landscape mode has a larger display space, and the displayed content does not require a large scale; moreover, the content display interface occupies a larger proportion in the floating window, so the display space of the floating window can be more fully utilized. By way of example, Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of another interface for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0232] like Fig. 9As shown in (a), the electronic device 900 is in a portrait display state, a memo interface is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 900, and a floating window 901 is also displayed on the current interface of the electronic device 900, the floating window 901 is in a landscape display state, and the floating window 901 is associated with a control 902, the control 902 is used to indicate that the landscape and portrait display states of the floating window 901 are locked, and the control 902 is also used by the user to unlock the landscape and portrait display states of the floating window; on this basis, when the user wants the landscape and portrait display states of the floating window 901 to be synchronized with the landscape and portrait display states of the electronic device 900, the user can click on the control 902, and after the user clicks on the control 902, the landscape and portrait display states of the floating window 901 are unlocked and synchronized with the landscape and portrait display states of the electronic device 900, and at this time the display interface of the electronic device 900 is as shown Fig. 9 As shown in (b), since the current display state of the electronic device 900 is the portrait display state, the display state of the floating window 901 is switched from the landscape display state to the portrait display state, and after the landscape and portrait display states of the floating window 901 are unlocked through the control 902, the floating window 901 is no longer associated with the control 902, but is associated with the control 903, and the control 903 is used by the user to switch the landscape and portrait display states of the floating window; when the user further switches the display state of the electronic device 900 from the portrait display state to the landscape display state (for example, by rotating the electronic device 900 90°), the display state of the floating window 901 displayed on the interface of the electronic device 900 is switched synchronously with the display state of the electronic device 900, and is also switched from the portrait display state to the landscape display state (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Fig. 9 On this basis, when the user clicks the control 903, the floating window 901 switches from the current horizontal screen display state to Fig. 9 The vertical screen display state is shown in (d) in the figure, and the display state of the electronic device 900 remains unchanged as the horizontal screen display state.

[0233] In an embodiment of the present application, the user can switch the floating window displayed in portrait mode to a floating window displayed in landscape mode with one click as needed, and trigger the locking of the display state of the floating window at the same time, so that the floating window can be displayed in landscape mode on the screen of the electronic device in portrait mode, and the floating window can be kept in landscape mode without switching with the switching of the display state of the electronic device; moreover, the user can cancel the locking of the display state of the floating window at any time, so that its display state can be switched synchronously with the switching of the display state of the electronic device.

[0234] Furthermore, the floating window switching method provided in the present application can not only realize the horizontal display of the floating window on the screen of the electronic device when the display state of the electronic device is the vertical display state; it can also realize the vertical display of the floating window on the screen of the electronic device when the display state of the electronic device is the horizontal display state, which can meet the user's various viewing needs and enhance the user's usage experience.

[0235] For example, Fig.10 A schematic diagram of another interface for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0236] like Fig.10 As shown in (a), the electronic device 1000 is in a portrait display state, a memo interface is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1000, and a floating window 1001 is also displayed on the current interface of the electronic device 1000, the floating window 1001 is in a portrait display state, the floating window 1001 is associated with a control 1002, the control 1002 is used by the user to lock the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the floating window 1001; on this basis, when the user wishes to lock the display state of the floating window 1001 to a portrait display, the user can click the control 1002, when the user clicks the control 1002, the display state of the floating window 1001 is locked to a portrait display, and the control 1002 is switched to the control 1003, the control 1003 is used by the user to unlock the lock of the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the floating window 1001, at this time the display interface of the electronic device 1000 is as shown Fig.10 As shown in (b) in FIG. 1 ; when the user further switches the display state of the electronic device 1000 from the vertical screen display state to the horizontal screen display state (for example, by rotating the electronic device 1000 by 90°), the display state of the floating window 1001 displayed on the interface of the electronic device 1000 remains in the vertical screen display state (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Fig.10 On this basis, when the user clicks the control 1003, the floating window 1001 is maintained in the same display state as the electronic device 1000 by the current vertical screen display state, such as Fig.10 As shown in (d) in .

[0237] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can lock the display status of the floating window as needed, so that the display status of the floating window does not switch with the switching of the display status of the electronic device; and the user can cancel the lock of the display status of the floating window at any time, so that the display status of the floating window switches synchronously with the switching of the display status of the electronic device.

[0238] For example, Fig.11 A schematic diagram of another interface for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment can be applied to screen projection scenarios, for example.

[0239] like Fig.11 As shown in (a), the electronic device 1100a is in a vertical screen display state, a memo interface is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1100a, and a floating window 1101 is also displayed on the current interface of the electronic device 1100a. The horizontal and vertical screen display states of the floating window 1101 are synchronized with the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the electronic device 1100a and are in a vertical screen display state; when the electronic device 1100a is used as the screen projection source end and the electronic device 1100b is used as the screen projection end for projection, the display interface of the electronic device 1100a is also displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1100b. At this time, the display interface of the electronic device 1100b is as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown in (b), the electronic device 1100b is in a horizontal display state, and the memo interface is displayed horizontally on the screen of the electronic device 1100b. In addition, the horizontal and vertical display states of the floating window 1101 are synchronized with the horizontal and vertical display states of the electronic device 1100b, and are also displayed horizontally on the display interface of the electronic device 1100b.

[0240] It should be understood that: the display content of the floating window 1101 displayed in portrait mode and the floating window 1101 displayed in landscape mode are the same, that is, the floating window 1101 displayed in landscape mode displays the content of the floating window 1101 originally displayed in portrait mode in landscape mode, and the content displayed by the floating window 1101 displayed in portrait mode and the floating window 1101 displayed in landscape mode are the same, but due to display space reasons, the actual display content on the floating window 1101 displayed in portrait mode and the actual display content on the floating window 1101 displayed in landscape mode may not be completely consistent. For example, due to the larger display space in the landscape display state, the actual display content on the floating window 1101 displayed in landscape mode may be more than the actual display content on the floating window 1101 displayed in portrait mode, and this explanation applies to all switching between landscape and portrait displays described in this application.

[0241] It can also be described as follows: the display content of the floating window 1101 displayed in the horizontal screen is generated according to the display content of the floating window 1101 displayed in the vertical screen.

[0242] It should be understood that in order to describe the solution provided by the present application more clearly, the embodiments in the present application are described by taking the screen projection source end as a mobile phone and the screen projection end as a smart TV as an example, wherein the screen projection source end may also be, for example, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer or a TV, and the screen projection end may also be, for example, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer or a mobile phone, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0243] In an embodiment of the present application, when an interface with a floating window displayed on the first screen is projected onto the second screen, the horizontal and vertical display states of the floating window on the second screen can be adaptively switched according to the horizontal and vertical display states of the second screen (for example: kept in sync with the horizontal and vertical display states of the second screen), thereby enabling users to have a better experience during screen projection.

[0244] For example, Fig.12 A schematic diagram of another interface for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment can be applied to a multi-screen collaboration scenario, for example.

[0245] like Fig.12 (a) and Fig.12 As shown in (b), electronic device 1200a and electronic device 1200b collaborate on multiple screens, electronic device 1200a is in a portrait display state, and a text message interface is displayed on the screen of electronic device 1200a, and electronic device 1200b is in a landscape display state, and a memo interface is displayed on the screen of electronic device 1200b. In addition, a floating window 1201 is also displayed on the current interface of the electronic device 1200b, and the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the floating window 1201 are synchronized with the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the electronic device 1200b, and are in a landscape display state.

[0246] Optionally, the screen of electronic device 1200b is an extended screen of electronic device 1200a, and the content displayed on electronic device 1200b (eg, memo interface, floating window 1201) is extended from electronic device 1200a to the display screen of electronic device 1200b.

[0247] It should be understood that in order to describe the solution provided by the present application more clearly, the embodiments in the present application are described using the multi-screen collaborative devices as mobile phones and smart TVs as examples, wherein the multi-screen collaborative devices can also be any combination of tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, mobile phones or TVs, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0248] In an embodiment of the present application, when multiple screens are performing multi-screen collaboration, the user can expand the floating window to display on any of the multiple screens as needed, and the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the floating window can be adaptively switched according to the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the arbitrary screen (for example: kept in sync with the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the arbitrary screen), thereby enabling the user to have a better experience in the process of using multi-screen collaboration.

[0249] The following, exemplary, combined Figures 13 to 17 , a method for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail.

[0250] For example, Fig.13FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method 1300 for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.13 As shown, the method 1300 includes:

[0251] S1301: In response to a user triggering an operation of displaying a first floating window on a screen of a first electronic device, determining a display state of the first electronic device.

[0252] Among them, the first floating window can be, for example, a floating window corresponding to an application running on the first electronic device, or a floating window corresponding to a functional interface corresponding to an application running on the first electronic device, for example, it can be a floating window for playing a video, a floating window corresponding to a chat interface, or a floating window corresponding to a circle of friends interface, etc.

[0253] The operation of triggering the display of the first floating window on the screen of the first electronic device may be, for example, triggering the display of the first floating window corresponding to the application through a recent task list; it may also be triggering the display of the first floating window through a setting function of the first electronic device; it may also be automatically triggering the display of the first floating window when the application retreats to the background; it may also be other operations that trigger the display of the first floating window, such as projecting or expanding the first floating window onto the screen of the first electronic device, which is not limited in the present application.

[0254] Among them, the display state of the first electronic device includes a horizontal display state or a vertical display state, wherein the horizontal display state refers to the horizontal display of the content displayed on the screen of the first electronic device, and the vertical display state refers to the vertical display of the content displayed on the screen of the first electronic device.

[0255] Similarly, the display state of the first floating window includes a horizontal screen display state or a vertical screen display state, wherein the horizontal screen display state means that the first floating window is displayed horizontally on the screen of the electronic device, and the content displayed in the first floating window is relative to the horizontal screen display of the first floating window (see Figure 6 The vertical screen display state refers to the vertical screen display of the first floating window on the screen of the electronic device, and the content displayed in the first floating window is relative to the vertical screen display of the first floating window (see Figure 6 The display status of the floating window 601 shown in (b) in the figure); the display status of the electronic device and the display status of the floating window described in other implementations of the present application are all applicable to this explanation. For the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated in the subsequent identical descriptions.

[0256] S1302: When the display state of the first electronic device is a horizontal screen display state, a first floating window is displayed horizontally on the screen of the first electronic device.

[0257] S1303: When the display state of the first electronic device is a vertical screen display state, display a first floating window vertically on the screen of the first electronic device.

[0258] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the display state of the first floating window triggered to be displayed on the first electronic device is the same as the display state of the first electronic device.

[0259] In an embodiment of the present application, the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the floating window triggered on the electronic device is the same as the current horizontal or vertical screen display state of the electronic device. In this way, when the electronic device is in the horizontal screen display state, the floating window is also in the horizontal screen display state, which can make full use of the display space of the floating window and reduce the scaling degree of the content in the floating window, thereby significantly improving the user's viewing experience and usage experience.

[0260] For example, Fig.14 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method 1400 for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.14 As shown, when a first floating window is displayed on a screen of a first electronic device, and both the first electronic device and the first floating window are in a vertical display state, the method 1400 includes:

[0261] S1401: When the display state of the first electronic device is switched from the portrait display state to the landscape display state, the display state of the first floating window is switched from the portrait display state to the landscape display state.

[0262] Among them, the explanation of the first floating window is in Fig.13 The illustrated embodiment has been described in detail and will not be described again here for the sake of brevity.

[0263] In an embodiment of the present application, the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the floating window displayed on the screen of the electronic device is the same as the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the electronic device, and will adaptively switch with the switching of the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the electronic device. In this way, when the electronic device is in the vertical screen display state, the floating window is also in the vertical screen display state, which can well adapt to the user's viewing habits; and, when the electronic device is in the horizontal screen display state, the floating window is also in the horizontal screen display state, which can make full use of the display space of the floating window and reduce the scaling degree of the content in the floating window, thereby significantly improving the user's viewing experience and usage experience.

[0264] For example, Fig.15 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method 1500 for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.15 As shown, when a first floating window is displayed on a screen of a first electronic device, and both the first electronic device and the first floating window are in a vertical display state, the method 1500 includes:

[0265] S1501: In response to a user clicking on a first control on a first floating window, the display state of the first floating window is switched from a vertical screen display to a horizontal screen display, and the display state of the first floating window is locked to a horizontal screen display state.

[0266] The first control is used by the user to switch the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the first floating window.

[0267] S1502: When the display state of the first electronic device changes, the display state of the first floating window remains in the horizontal screen display state.

[0268] In one achievable method, based on S1501, when the display state of the first electronic device is switched from the portrait display state to the landscape display state, the display state of the first floating window remains in the landscape display state; when the display state of the first electronic device continues to switch from the landscape display state to the portrait display state, the display state of the first floating window still remains in the landscape display state.

[0269] That is to say, when the user manually switches the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the floating window, the display state of the floating window is locked to remain unchanged after the switch. Unless it is unlocked, the display state of the floating window no longer changes with the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the electronic device.

[0270] S1503: In response to the user clicking the first control again, the display state of the first floating window is synchronized with the display state of the first electronic device.

[0271] In one achievable method, based on S1501, when the display state of the first electronic device is switched from the portrait display state to the landscape display state, the display state of the first floating window remains in the landscape display state; when the display state of the first electronic device continues to switch from the landscape display state to the portrait display state, the display state of the first floating window still remains in the landscape display state; on this basis, if the user clicks on the first control again, the display state of the first floating window is switched from the landscape display state to the portrait display state, so as to be consistent with the display state of the electronic device, and without manual switching (or locking), the display state of the first floating window is consistent with the display state of the first electronic device, and switches as the display state of the first electronic device switches.

[0272] Similarly, in some embodiments, when a first floating window is displayed on the screen of a first electronic device and both the first electronic device and the first floating window are in a horizontal display state, in response to a user clicking on a first control on the first floating window, the display state of the first floating window is switched from a horizontal display to a vertical display, and the display state of the first floating window is locked in a vertical display state.

[0273] In an embodiment of the present application, a user can manually switch the horizontal or vertical display state of the floating window, and lock it after manual switching, thereby enabling the floating window to be displayed horizontally when the display state of the electronic device is in vertical display, and enabling the floating window to be displayed vertically when the display state of the electronic device is in horizontal display. This can adapt to the user's various viewing or usage needs, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0274] For example, Fig.16 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method 1600 for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.16 As shown, when a first floating window is displayed on the screen of the first electronic device, the method 1600 includes:

[0275] S1601: In response to the user's operation of projecting the display interface of the first electronic device onto the screen of the second electronic device, a second floating window is displayed on the screen of the second electronic device, and the display state of the second floating window is the same as the display state of the second electronic device, and the content of the second floating window is the same as the content of the first floating window.

[0276] In one example, the display state of the first electronic device is a portrait display state, the display state of a first floating window displayed on the screen of the first electronic device is also a portrait display state, and the display state of the second electronic device is a landscape display state; on this basis, when the user projects the display interface of the first electronic device onto the screen of the second electronic device, the display interface of the first electronic device is displayed in landscape on the screen of the second electronic device, and a second floating window is displayed on the screen of the second electronic device, the display state of the second floating window is also a landscape display state, and the content of the second floating window is the same as that of the first floating window.

[0277] It can be understood that the screen projection method of the embodiment of the present application can be homologous screen projection or heterologous screen projection.

[0278] In an embodiment of the present application, in a screen projection scenario, the display status of the floating window displayed on the projected end is consistent with the display status of the projected end device, rather than being consistent with the display status of the projection source end device. In this way, the display space of the floating window can be fully utilized, allowing users to have a better viewing experience.

[0279] For example, Fig.17 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method 1700 for displaying a floating window provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.17 As shown, when a first floating window is displayed on the screen of the first electronic device, the method 1700 includes:

[0280] S1701: In response to the user's operation of expanding the first floating window to the screen of the third electronic device, a third floating window is displayed on the screen of the third electronic device, the display state of the third floating window is the same as the display state of the third electronic device, and the content of the third floating window is the same as the content of the first floating window.

[0281] In one example, the display state of the first electronic device is a portrait display state, the display state of the first floating window displayed on the screen of the first electronic device is also a portrait display state, and the display state of the third electronic device is a landscape display state; on this basis, when the user expands the first floating window to the screen of the third electronic device, a third floating window is displayed on the screen of the third electronic device, the display state of the third floating window is also a landscape display state, and the content of the third floating window is the same as that of the first floating window.

[0282] Optionally, the user may drag the first floating window to expand the first floating window to be displayed on the screen of the third electronic device.

[0283] In an embodiment of the present application, in a multi-screen collaboration scenario, the display status of the floating window displayed on the extended screen is consistent with the display status of the extended screen, rather than consistent with the display status of the source device. In this way, the display space of the floating window can be fully utilized, allowing users to have a better viewing experience.

[0284] To understand more clearly Fig.16 The interaction between the first electronic device and the second electronic device in the embodiment shown is, for example, Fig.18 FIG. 1 shows an interactive schematic diagram corresponding to a mirror screen projection method 1800 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.18 As shown, a first electronic device and a second electronic device establish a connection, the first electronic device is a screen projection source, and the second electronic device is a screen projection target. The method 1800 includes:

[0285] S1801: A first electronic device sends a first request message to a second electronic device, where the first request message is used to obtain device information of the second electronic device, wherein the device information of the second electronic device includes horizontal and vertical screen display state information of the second electronic device.

[0286] S1802: The second electronic device sends a first reply message to the first electronic device, where the first reply message includes device information of the second electronic device.

[0287] S1803: The first electronic device creates a first virtual screen.

[0288] The first electronic device creates a first virtual screen based on the first reply message, and the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the first virtual screen are the same as the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the second electronic device.

[0289] The interface content of the first virtual screen is the same as the interface content displayed on the screen of the first electronic device.

[0290] S1804: The second electronic device creates a second virtual screen.

[0291] The horizontal and vertical screen display states of the second virtual screen are the same as the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the second electronic device.

[0292] It should be understood that S1803 and S1804 may be executed simultaneously or one after another.

[0293] S1805: The first electronic device sends a first coded message to the second electronic device, where the first coded message is used to represent the interface display content of the first electronic device (which can also be understood as the interface content of the first virtual screen).

[0294] Optionally, the first electronic device encodes a video stream corresponding to the interface display content of the first electronic device to obtain a first encoded message.

[0295] S1806: The second electronic device obtains a video stream corresponding to the interface display content of the first electronic device by decoding the first coded message.

[0296] After the second electronic device obtains the video stream corresponding to the interface display content of the first electronic device, it draws it on the second virtual screen.

[0297] S1807: The second electronic device displays an interface corresponding to the video stream based on the second virtual screen.

[0298] S1808: When the display interface of the first electronic device changes, the first electronic device updates the change to the first virtual screen.

[0299] S1809: The first electronic device sends a first update message to the second electronic device, where the first update message is used to indicate updated interface information.

[0300] S1810: The second electronic device updates the display interface of the second electronic device according to the first update message.

[0301] It can also be understood that the above step S1802 is not executed only once, but can be performed periodically, or when the device information of the second electronic device changes (for example, the horizontal or vertical screen display state switches). In this way, when the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the second electronic device switches, the horizontal or vertical screen display state of the first virtual screen can also be synchronized in time.

[0302] For example, Fig.19FIG. 1 shows an interaction diagram corresponding to a heterogeneous screen projection method 1900 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.19 As shown, a first electronic device and a second electronic device establish a connection, the first electronic device is a screen projection source, and the second electronic device is a screen projection target. The method 1900 includes:

[0303] S1901: A first electronic device sends a first request message to a second electronic device, where the first request message is used to obtain device information of the second electronic device, wherein the device information of the second electronic device includes horizontal and vertical screen display state information of the second electronic device.

[0304] S1902: The second electronic device sends a first reply message to the first electronic device, where the first reply message includes device information of the second electronic device.

[0305] S1903: The first electronic device creates a third virtual screen.

[0306] The first electronic device creates a third virtual screen based on the first reply message, and the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the third virtual screen are the same as those of the second electronic device.

[0307] The interface content of the third virtual screen is the same as the interface content displayed on the screen of the first electronic device.

[0308] S1904: The second electronic device creates a fourth virtual screen.

[0309] The horizontal and vertical screen display states of the fourth virtual screen are the same as the horizontal and vertical screen display states of the second electronic device.

[0310] S1905: The first electronic device sends a first coded message to the second electronic device, where the first coded message is used to represent the interface display content of the first electronic device (which can also be understood as the interface content of the third virtual screen).

[0311] Optionally, the first electronic device encodes a video stream corresponding to the interface display content of the first electronic device to obtain a first encoded message.

[0312] S1906: The second electronic device obtains a video stream corresponding to the interface display content of the first electronic device by decoding the first coded message.

[0313] After the second electronic device obtains the video stream corresponding to the interface display content of the first electronic device, it draws it on the fourth virtual screen.

[0314] S1907: The second electronic device displays an interface corresponding to the video stream based on the fourth virtual screen.
