[0086] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0087] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to overcome the problem of limitations and inconveniences in the setting and operation of an external screen in some specific scenarios in the related art due to the small or irregular area that can be used to set the external screen, the present disclosure provides a display method, which is applied to an electronic device. Based on the received first trigger instruction, a first display interface is displayed in a first preset area of ​​the external screen of the electronic device, the first display interface is used to display the content of the application, and a second display interface is displayed in a second preset area of ​​the external screen. The second display interface is independent of the first display interface, and the second display interface is used to display prompt information and receive a trigger instruction. Based on the received second trigger instruction acting on the second display interface, the application displayed in the first display interface is adjusted and / or the content displayed in the first display interface is operated. In this method, the first display interface and the second display interface have different display interfaces and functions, which is convenient for users to operate the external screen, and can also bring more possibilities to the external screen operation, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0088] Before introducing the display method in the present disclosure, the specific application scenarios of the method in the present disclosure are first introduced. The present disclosure can be applied to the external screen of an electronic device with a folding display screen, and can also be applied to the secondary screen of a straight-screen mobile phone set on the back shell. In some special scenarios, it can also be applied to the main screen of an electronic device. The display method in the present disclosure is introduced below by taking the external screen of an electronic device with a folding display screen as an example.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a display method is provided, which is applied to an electronic device. Figure 1 is a flow chart of a display method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the display method includes the following steps:

[0090] Step S101, based on the received first trigger instruction, displaying a first display interface in a first preset area of ​​an external screen of an electronic device, the first display interface being used to display content of an application;

[0091] Step S102, displaying a second display interface in a second preset area of ​​the external screen, the second display interface being independent of the first display interface, and the second display interface being used to display prompt information and receive trigger instructions;

[0092] Step S103: Based on the received second trigger instruction acting on the second display interface, the application displayed in the first display interface is adjusted and / or the content displayed in the first display interface is operated.

[0093] When the area used to set the external screen on an electronic device is irregular in shape or small in area, it will cause problems such as low utilization of the external screen display area and inconvenience in user operation. For example, foldable mobile phones are popular because of their compact shape. On the outside of foldable mobile phones, since a rear camera assembly needs to be set on the outside, the rear camera assembly needs to be avoided when setting the external screen in the housing area with the rear camera, resulting in the shape of the external screen not being a conventional rectangular shape, which is not convenient for content display and has a low utilization rate of the external screen.

[0094] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a folding screen electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the grayscale shaded area represents the external screen area, and the external screen area is arranged in the housing of the electronic device. The circular area represents the area where the camera assembly 201 is located. The folding screen of the electronic device is an upper and lower folding screen. The interior of the electronic device in the unfolded state is a full-screen screen, and a rear camera assembly 201 and an irregular external screen are arranged on the back. After the electronic device is folded up and down, the shape of the electronic device becomes smaller in the folded state. The camera assembly 201 and the irregular external screen on the back of the electronic device are displayed on the first side of the outside of the folded electronic device. The external screen avoids the camera assembly 201, and the camera assembly 201 is located at the top corner of the external screen. The method in the present disclosure is applied to the external screen of an electronic device in a folded state.

[0095] A first preset area and a second preset area are set on the external screen of the electronic device. The first preset area and the second preset area are independent of each other and do not overlap. The positions and sizes of the first preset area and the second preset area can be determined according to the shape of the external screen of the electronic device in the folded state. When the camera assembly of the electronic device is located at the top corner of the external screen, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing a first preset area and a second preset area according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the grayscale shaded area represents the external screen area, the circular area represents the area where the camera assembly 201 is located, the rectangular area 301 represents the first preset area, and the rectangular area 302 represents the second preset area. The first preset area 301 is located on one side of the camera assembly 201, and the camera assembly 201 and the first preset area 301 are arranged left and right. Figure 3 In the orientation shown in FIG. 1 , the first preset area 301 is set on the right side of the camera assembly 201. Figure 3 In the orientation shown in FIG. 1 , the second preset area 302 is located below the camera assembly 201 .

[0096] In step S101, the external screen is located on the first side of the exterior of the electronic device. For example, the electronic device is a foldable mobile phone. The exterior of the electronic device has a first side and a second side that are opposite to each other. The external screen can be set on the first side, and the second side is a shell. When the electronic device is unfolded, the first side can be the upper side of the exterior of the electronic device, or the lower side of the exterior of the electronic device.

[0097] The first display interface is displayed in the first preset area of ​​the external screen of the electronic device. The first display interface is used to display the content of the application. The application is any application installed in the electronic device, such as a system application or a third-party application. The first trigger instruction is an instruction to trigger the first display interface to display the content of the application. The first trigger instruction can be an instruction to turn on the display function of the first display interface, such as an instruction to turn on the electronic device. When the instruction to turn on the electronic device is received, the first display interface displays the system desktop by default; for another example, the user was browsing application A on the inner screen of the electronic device before, and the user folded the electronic device at this time, triggering the first trigger instruction, and then the application A will be displayed on the first display interface after the electronic device is folded; for another example, the user touches the physical button when the electronic device is in the folded state to trigger the first touch instruction, and the default application (such as a shooting application) is displayed on the first display interface; for another example, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the user triggers the first trigger instruction through voice control, and the application corresponding to the voice instruction is displayed on the first display interface; for another example, the user can control the second display interface (described later) to trigger the first trigger instruction, and then display the corresponding application on the first display interface.

[0098] Among them, the first trigger instruction can also be triggered by any one of a gesture instruction, a touch instruction or a voice instruction. When a gesture instruction, a touch instruction or a voice instruction is received, the content of the application corresponding to the gesture instruction, the touch instruction or the voice instruction is displayed on the first display interface.

[0099] In step S102, a second display interface is displayed in a second preset area of ​​the external screen, and the second display interface is independent of the first display interface. Figure 3 As shown, a first display interface is displayed in a first preset area 301, and a second display interface is displayed in a second preset area 302. The camera component 201 and the first display interface are arranged on the left and right, and the second display interface is displayed below the camera component. The first display interface and the second display interface do not affect each other. Different contents can be displayed in the first display interface and the second display interface. The first display interface can be controlled through the second display interface. The second display interface can be regarded as an extension box and an operation box of the first display interface.

[0100] The second display interface is used to display prompt information and receive trigger instructions. The prompt information can be a message notification of the electronic device arranged in chronological order, such as a system message notification or an application message notification, or an icon of a commonly used application in the electronic device, or can include both message notifications and icons of commonly used applications. A relevant sensor is set below the external screen of the second display interface to receive trigger instructions, which include screen touch instructions such as gesture instructions, touch instructions, and sliding instructions.

[0101] It should be noted that the first display interface and the second display interface may be provided with a boundary frame to identify the boundary of the display interface on the external screen, or may not be provided with a boundary frame and the display boundary may be identified by displaying content. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a first display interface and a second display interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the circular area is the area where the camera component 201 is located, the grayscale shaded area represents the external screen area, and the first display interface and the second display interface are both marked with a rounded rectangular dotted frame to indicate the boundary, and other shapes may also be used to indicate the boundary. The present disclosure does not make any restrictions. The first display interface displays the system desktop content, and the second display interface displays message notifications, that is, prompt information.

[0102] In addition, it should be noted that when different contents are displayed in the multifunctional first display interface and the second display interface, Figure 4 Other parts of the medium gray area can also display other content at the same time. For example, the background of the entire external screen is set to a solid color or a background image, and the first display interface and the second display interface are displayed floating on the background of the external screen, and the background will be blocked to ensure the display effect of the first display interface and the second display interface.

[0103] Step S103, the second trigger instruction is an operation instruction that can manipulate the first display interface, such as a gesture instruction, a sliding instruction, a touch instruction, a voice instruction, etc. The second trigger instruction is received through the second display interface, and the first display interface is operated according to the second trigger instruction. The application displayed in the first display interface can be adjusted, such as switching applications, and the content displayed in the first display interface can also be operated, such as user input. The mapping relationship between the second trigger instruction and the operation of the first display interface is pre-configured in the electronic device. When the second display interface receives the second trigger instruction, the operation of the first display interface by the second trigger instruction is executed.

[0104] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an external screen is provided on the outside of the shell of the up-and-down folding device. Since the external screen needs to avoid the camera assembly provided on the outer shell, the external screen needs to be provided to an irregular shape. In order to improve the utilization rate of the external screen, facilitate the user to operate the external screen, and improve the control performance of the electronic device, a first display interface and a second display interface are provided on the external screen. The two display interfaces are independent of each other. The second display interface can be used as an extension frame and operation frame of the first display interface. The first display interface can be controlled by operating the second display interface, which improves the user's operation convenience, improves the utilization rate of the external screen, and improves the human-computer interaction performance.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, in step S103 of the above embodiment, adjusting the application displayed in the first display interface based on the received second trigger instruction acting on the second display interface includes:

[0106] Based on the second trigger instruction, content of the application program related to the prompt information is displayed in the first display interface.

[0107] The second display interface can display prompt information of various applications installed in the electronic device, such as prompt information of messages sent by contacts in WeChat, prompt information of payment by Alipay, etc. The second trigger instruction can be a click operation such as a single click operation or a double click operation. After the electronic device receives the second trigger instruction acting on the second display interface, it determines the prompt information corresponding to the second trigger instruction, and displays the prompt information corresponding to the second trigger instruction as a selected state in the second display interface, for example, by deepening the prompt information box and other methods to indicate the selected state, and at the same time displays the content of the application related to the prompt information in the first display interface. After the application content related to the prompt information is displayed on the first display interface for a period of time, for example, after 1 second or 3 seconds, the prompt information of the application 2 in the second display interface is deleted, and the prompt message of the selected state is no longer displayed in the second display interface. The prompt information in the second display interface can display the content of the information, such as the weather application sends a prompt information to prompt today's high temperature warning, or only display the source of the prompt information, such as the weather application sends a message. When the user clicks on the prompt information in the second display interface, the entire content of the prompt information is displayed on the first display interface, or the prompt information can be closed on the second display interface.

[0108] In one example, when the second trigger instruction is a single-click operation, Figures 5A to 5C is a schematic diagram of a first display interface and a second display interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5A As shown, the first display interface displays the system desktop content, and the second display interface displays the prompt information of application 1 and application 2. When the user clicks the prompt information of application 2 once, Figure 5B As shown, by deepening the information box of the prompt information, the selected state of the prompt information of application 2 is displayed in the second display interface, and at the same time, the display content of the first display interface is switched to the specific content corresponding to the prompt information of application 2. After the content related to the prompt information is displayed on the first display interface for a period of time, as shown in FIG. Figure 5C As shown, the prompt information of application 2 in the second display interface is deleted, and the prompt message of the selected state is no longer displayed in the second display interface. The second display interface only displays the prompt information of application 1.

[0109] Of course, it is understandable that when the prompt information of application 2 in the above-mentioned second display interface is selected, in order to protect the user's privacy, the content related to the prompt information is not directly displayed in the first display interface, but only application 2 is opened, and when the user selects the content related to the prompt information in application 2, it is displayed.

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment, the second trigger instruction includes a gesture instruction, and the number of applications that can be switched to the first display interface for display is multiple, and the multiple applications are arranged in a preset order when switching. In step S103 of the above embodiment, based on the received second trigger instruction acting on the second display interface, the application displayed in the first display interface is adjusted, including at least one of the following two situations:

[0111] The arrangement order of the multiple applications is the order of the most recent use time of each application, and can also be other arrangement orders, such as the arrangement order set by the user. The first gesture instruction includes two gestures with different switching orders, for example, including a first gesture and a second gesture, the first gesture corresponds to the arrangement order from front to back to switch the applications displayed on the first display interface, and the second gesture corresponds to the arrangement order from back to front to switch the applications displayed on the first display interface.

[0112] The first one is to switch the application programs displayed in the first display interface at a first preset frequency according to a switching sequence corresponding to the first gesture instruction based on the first gesture instruction.

[0113] When the arrangement order of multiple applications is the order of the most recent use time of each application, the first gesture instruction can be any touch gesture. When there are many prompt information on the second display interface, it is necessary to scroll up and down to view the prompt information. Therefore, the first gesture instruction is a gesture different from scrolling up and down. For example, the first gesture instruction is to long press the second display interface and swipe up or long press the second display interface and swipe down. Among them, long press the second display interface and swipe up means switching the applications displayed on the first display interface from the front to the back in the order of the most recent use time, and long press the second display interface and swipe down means switching the applications displayed on the first display interface from the back to the front in the order of the most recent use time. Switching the applications displayed in the first display interface at the first preset frequency means directly switching to the next application.

[0114] In one example, the applications that can be displayed on the first display interface are arranged in order of usage time as application 4, application 3, and application 2. The first display interface currently displays the content of application 2. Figures 6A-6B is a schematic diagram of a first display interface and a second display interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 6A As shown, after long pressing the second display interface and swiping down, the first display interface switches to displaying the content of application 3. When the content of application 3 is displayed on the first display interface, as shown in FIG. Figure 6B As shown, after long pressing the second display interface and swiping upwards, the first display interface switches to displaying the content of application 2.

[0115] For another example, the first gesture instruction may also be an upward swipe gesture and a downward swipe gesture. When an upward swipe gesture is detected, the applications displayed on the first display interface are switched from front to back in the order of most recent use time. When a downward swipe gesture is detected, the applications displayed on the first display interface are switched from back to front in the order of most recent use time. For example, the arrangement order of the five applications is application A, B, C, D, and E. Application C is currently displayed on the first display interface. When an upward swipe gesture is detected, application D is displayed. When a downward swipe gesture is detected, application B is displayed.

[0116] The second type is to switch the application programs displayed in the first display interface at a second preset frequency according to a switching sequence corresponding to the second gesture instruction based on the second gesture instruction.

[0117] The second preset frequency is greater than the first preset frequency, and the second gesture instruction is a gesture different from the first gesture instruction. For example, the second gesture instruction is to long press the second display interface and slide clockwise or long press the second display interface and slide counterclockwise, wherein long press the second display interface and slide clockwise indicates switching the applications displayed on the first display interface from the most recently used time sequence to the front, and long press the second display interface and swipe down indicates switching the applications displayed on the first display interface from the front to the back in the most recently used time sequence. Switching the applications displayed in the first display interface at the second preset frequency indicates multiple applications after the quick switching sequence, and the corresponding application is displayed on the first display interface when the second gesture instruction ends.

[0118] In one example, the applications that can be displayed on the first display interface are arranged in order of usage time as application 4, application 3, and application 2. The first display interface currently displays the content of application 2. Figures 7A-7B is a schematic diagram of a first display interface and a second display interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 7A As shown, long press the second display interface and slide clockwise, the first display interface displays multiple applications at the same time, and the applications are continuously switched during the sliding process, and the application corresponding to the current sliding position is mainly displayed in the first display interface, such as Figure 7B As shown, after sliding clockwise for a certain distance, the first display interface mainly displays the application 3 corresponding to the current sliding position, and after the clockwise sliding ends, the first display interface displays the application 4 corresponding to the end.

[0119] In an exemplary embodiment, the second trigger instruction includes a touch instruction. In step S103 of the above embodiment, the application displayed in the first display interface is adjusted based on the received second trigger instruction acting on the second display interface, including at least one of the following two situations:

[0120] The first one is to lock the application displayed in the first display interface based on the first touch instruction acting on the third preset area of ​​the second display interface.

[0121] The first touch instruction can be a multiple click operation or a long press operation, and the third preset area is an area in the second display interface where there is no prompt information, which can be set according to actual conditions, for example, it can be the border of the second display interface. After receiving the first touch instruction acting on the second display interface, for example, when receiving a double-click operation on the border of the second display interface, the application currently displayed on the first display interface is locked, and the first display interface no longer switches to other applications, that is, the application displayed on the first display interface cannot be switched through the first gesture instruction or the second gesture instruction. At the same time, a lock mark is displayed in the third preset area of ​​the second display interface to prompt the user that the first display interface is currently in lock mode. The form and position of the lock mark can be set according to actual needs. For example, the application currently displayed on the first display interface is application 2. After receiving the first touch instruction, the application 2 is locked. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of a first display interface and a second display interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, while the application 2 is locked on the first display interface, a lock mark 801 is displayed on the second display interface.

[0122] The second is to unlock the application displayed in the first display interface based on a second touch instruction acting on a fourth preset area of ​​the second display interface.

[0123] The fourth preset area and the third preset area may be the same or different, and are also areas in the second display interface where no prompt information exists, such as the border of the second display interface. The second touch instruction and the first touch instruction may be the same or different, such as the second touch instruction being a double-click on the lock mark 801. After receiving the second touch instruction acting on the second display interface, such as receiving a double-click operation or a tap operation acting on the lock mark 801, the application currently displayed on the first display interface is unlocked, and the first display interface can switch to other applications, that is, other applications can be switched through the first gesture instruction or the second gesture instruction, and the lock mark of the second display interface is deleted at the same time to prompt the user that the first display interface is currently in unlocked mode and can switch to other applications.

[0124] In an exemplary embodiment, the second trigger instruction includes a sliding instruction. In step S103 of the above embodiment, the content displayed in the first display interface is operated based on the received second trigger instruction acting on the second display interface, including:

[0125] Based on the sliding instruction acting on the second display interface, the target function is triggered.

[0126] The sliding instruction may be a left sliding instruction, a right sliding instruction, a diagonal sliding instruction, or any other sliding instruction different from the second trigger instruction. The target function may be a task bar and shortcut displayed on the first display interface, for example, Figures 9A to 9B is a schematic diagram of a first display interface and a second display interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 9A As shown, when the first display interface displays application 3, when a right swipe instruction acting on the second display interface is received, the task bar and shortcuts are displayed on the first display interface, including network connection, screenshot, screen recording, flight mode, etc., and can also include shortcuts to system applications or third-party applications in the electronic device, such as payment codes or payment codes or ride codes, and the selected state of the target task is marked in grayscale mode. At this time, Fig. 9B As shown, swiping left on the second display interface returns the first display interface to the interface of the application 3. The target function can also be a shortcut or task set by the user. The user can set the functions corresponding to the left swipe command and the right swipe command in the settings. For example, a left swipe command triggers a screenshot shortcut function to take a screenshot of the content currently displayed on the first display interface, or a right swipe command triggers a screen recording shortcut function to record the content currently displayed on the first display interface, or a left swipe command triggers a calculator function, or a right swipe switches the songs played in the music player application.

[0127] In an exemplary embodiment, Fig.10 is a flow chart of a display method according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig.10 As shown, in step S103 of the above embodiment, operating the content displayed in the first display interface based on the received second trigger instruction acting on the second display interface includes the following steps:

[0128] Step S1001, in response to the content of the application displayed on the first display interface including a dialog box, displaying a preset logo on the second display interface;

[0129] Step S1002: receiving a second trigger instruction acting on a preset mark, and forming a third display interface on an external screen based on the second display interface, wherein the third display interface is used to display an input keyboard.

[0130] The third display interface is at least partially suspended on an upper layer of the first display interface.

[0131] The preset mark is a user input mark, which can be a keyboard icon or an edit input icon, etc., which can represent user input. When the content of the application displayed in the first display interface includes a dialog box, it means that the user may need to input. At this time, the preset mark is displayed in the second display interface. The display position of the preset mark can be set according to actual needs, such as being displayed at the top of the prompt information. For example, Fig.11 is a schematic diagram of a first display interface and a second display interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig.11 As shown, the application 3 displayed on the first display interface includes a dialog box, and the preset keyboard logo 1101 is displayed on the second display interface.

[0132] The second trigger instruction acting on the preset mark is a click operation on the preset mark. After receiving the second trigger instruction, a third display interface is formed, and an input keyboard is displayed on the third display interface. The user can operate the input keyboard to implement input in the dialog box of the application. The third display interface includes the entire area of ​​the second display interface and a partial area of ​​the first display interface, and the partial area of ​​the third display interface is suspended on the upper layer of the first display interface. The size of the third display interface can be set according to actual needs. When the third display interface is formed based on the second display interface, the animation effect can be to extend the first edge of the second display interface toward the second edge of the first display interface to form the third display interface, wherein the first edge and the second edge are the two edges farthest apart; the animation effect can also be that the second display interface gradually disappears and the third display interface gradually appears. For example, Fig.12 is a schematic diagram of a first display interface and a third display interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig.12 As shown, the left edge of the third display interface is the left edge of the second display interface, and the right edge is the right edge of the first display interface. The input keyboard is fully displayed in the third display interface. The display effect of the second display interface and the third display interface can be considered that the third display interface blocks the second display interface, or that the second display interface is extended to the right edge of the first display interface.

[0133] When the user completes input, the input keyboard is folded through a third trigger instruction. The third trigger instruction can be double-clicking the input keyboard, or swiping left in the input keyboard area to close the third display interface, redisplay the first display interface and the second display interface, and display a preset logo in the second display interface.

[0134] In addition, it should be noted that the third display interface and the first display interface belong to different layers. When there is an overlapping area between the third display interface and the first display interface, the third display interface will float above the first display interface, that is, the third display interface will block the first display interface to ensure that the user can fully and clearly observe the third display interface, thereby facilitating the user to input information.
