[0051] In one case, the first input may be an input in which a user selects an application identifier and drags the application identifier to the split-screen sensing area to trigger the electronic device to enter the split-screen mode.

[0052] In another case, the first input may be a user's touch input to the split-screen sensing area to trigger the electronic device to enter the split-screen mode.

[0053] It should be noted that for the description of these two situations of the first input and related solutions, reference can be made to the description in the following embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0054] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first input includes but is not limited to: touch input by the user in the split-screen sensing area through a touch device such as a finger or a stylus, or a voice command input by the user, or a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasible input, which can be determined based on actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0056] Optionally, the click input in the embodiment of the present application can be a single click input, a double click input, or any number of click inputs, etc., and can also be a long press input or a short press input. For example, the first input mentioned above can be: a user's sliding input on the split-screen sensing area.

[0057] Step 202: In response to a first input, the electronic device displays at least one application identifier in a first manner.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the at least one application identifier may be an application identifier of at least one application in the desktop.

[0059] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above application identifier may be any of the following: an application icon, an emoticon, or a special symbol, etc. The specific identifier may be determined according to actual usage rules, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the identifier.

[0060] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the first input is an input for selecting an application identifier and a split-screen sensing area, the above-mentioned first method of displaying at least one application identifier may be: the electronic device may display an application identifier selected by the first input in the split-screen sensing area. Or,

[0061] In the case where the first input is an input to the split-screen sensing area, the above-mentioned first method of displaying at least one application identifier is: the electronic device can display at least one application identifier in the desktop in a highlighting or shaking manner, so as to update the state of at least one application identifier in the desktop to a multi-selectable state, prompting the user that the electronic device is in split-screen mode.

[0062] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display at least one split-screen control while displaying at least one application identifier, and each split-screen control is used to indicate a split-screen mode, which is related to the number of split screens.

[0063] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned split screen mode may include any of the following: double split screen, triple split screen or quad split screen, etc.

[0064] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display at least one split-screen control in a pop-up window. Alternatively, the electronic device may display at least one split-screen control in a blank position on the desktop. Alternatively, the electronic device may display at least one split-screen control in a split-screen sensing area.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, a user may make a first input to a target split-screen control in at least one split-screen control so that the electronic device may determine the number of split screens.

[0066] Exemplarily, the target split-screen control is any one of at least one split-screen control.

[0067] Step 203: The electronic device receives a second input from the user.

[0068] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the second input is an input for the user to select the second application identifier. Alternatively, the second input is an input for the user to select the first application identifier and the second application identifier.

[0069] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the first input is the user selecting the first application identifier, the second input may be the user selecting the second application identifier. Alternatively, when the first input is the user inputting the split-screen sensing area, the second input may be the user selecting the first application identifier and the second application identifier.

[0070] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned second input includes but is not limited to: touch input of at least one of the first application identifier and the second application identifier by a user through a touch device such as a finger or a stylus, or a voice command input by the user, or a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasible input, which can be determined based on actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0071] Step 204: In response to the second input, the electronic device displays the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in split screen.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the at least one application identifier is a first application identifier, and the second application identifier is obtained based on the second input. Alternatively, the at least one application identifier includes a first application identifier and a second application identifier, and the first application identifier and the second application identifier are both obtained based on the second input.

[0073] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in a split screen according to the order in which the application identifiers are selected by the user. Alternatively, the electronic device may display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in a split screen according to the type of the application identifier.

[0074] For example, when the user first selects the first application identifier, the electronic device may display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier in the upper half of the screen, and display the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in the lower half of the screen. Alternatively, when the application type of the application corresponding to the first application identifier is a chat application type, and the application type of the application corresponding to the second application identifier is a video application type, the electronic device may display the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in the upper half of the screen, and display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier in the lower half of the screen.

[0075] It can be understood that when the electronic device is in split-screen mode, the display area in the upper half of the screen can correspond to one type of application, and the display area in the lower half of the screen can correspond to another type of application.

[0076] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above correspondence relationship may be preset by the electronic device or customized by the user.

[0077] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is a non-foldable electronic device, the electronic device may display an application interface corresponding to the first application identifier in the upper half of the screen, and display an application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in the lower half of the screen; or, the electronic device may display an application interface corresponding to the first application identifier in the lower half of the screen, and display an application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in the upper half of the split-screen interface.

[0078] For example, Figure 2 As shown, taking the application corresponding to the first application identifier as a video application and the application corresponding to the second application identifier as an instant messaging application as an example, and taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, the mobile phone can respond to the second input and can display the video application interface in the first area 20 of the screen 10; and display the Haiyun Grade 5 class group chat interface in the second area 21 of the screen 10.

[0079] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is a foldable electronic device, the electronic device may display an application interface corresponding to the first application identifier on the left half of the screen, and display an application interface corresponding to the second application identifier on the right half of the screen; or, the electronic device may display an application interface corresponding to the first application identifier on the right half of the screen, and display an application interface corresponding to the second application identifier on the left half of the screen.

[0080] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first application identifier and second application identifier are merely indicative descriptions, that is, after the electronic device determines the number of split screens based on the split-screen control, the user can input the application identifier corresponding to the number of split screens so that the electronic device can display the application interface according to the number of split screens.

[0081] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device determines the third screen based on the split-screen control and determines the second application identifier, the electronic device can display an application interface corresponding to the third application identifier in the split-screen interface based on the user's input of the third application identifier.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the third application identifier may be determined by the second input.

[0083] For example, after the electronic device determines the third application identifier, the electronic device may display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in split screens, and display the application interface corresponding to the third application identifier in a pop-up window on the screen. Alternatively, the electronic device may split the screen into three parts, and display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier, the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier, and the application interface corresponding to the third application identifier in the three split screens, respectively.

[0084] In one example, taking the application corresponding to the first application identifier as a video application, the application corresponding to the second application identifier as an e-book application, and the application corresponding to the third application identifier as an instant messaging application, when the electronic device is a non-folding electronic device, the electronic device can divide the screen into three equal parts to obtain a three-part screen, and respectively display the video application interface, the e-book application interface, and the instant messaging application interface in the three-part screen.

[0085] In another example, when the electronic device is a foldable electronic device, the electronic device can display a video application interface and an e-book application interface in a split screen in the left half area of ​​the screen of the foldable electronic device, and display an instant messaging application interface in the right half area of ​​the screen of the foldable electronic device.

[0086] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device determines a four-split screen based on the split-screen control and determines the second application identifier, the electronic device may display an application interface corresponding to the third application identifier and an application interface corresponding to the fourth application identifier in the split-screen interface based on the user's input of the third application identifier and the fourth application identifier.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, the third application identifier and the fourth application identifier may be determined by the second input.

[0088] Exemplarily, after the electronic device determines the third application identifier and the fourth application identifier, the electronic device may display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in split screens on the screen, and display the application interface corresponding to the third application identifier in the form of a pop-up window on the screen, and display the application interface corresponding to the fourth application identifier in the form of a pop-up window. Alternatively, the electronic device may split the screen into four parts, and display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier, the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier, the application interface corresponding to the third application identifier, and the application interface corresponding to the fourth application identifier in the four split screens respectively.

[0089] In one example, taking the application corresponding to the first application identifier as a video application, the application corresponding to the second application identifier as an e-book application, the application corresponding to the third application identifier as an instant messaging application, and the application corresponding to the fourth application identifier as an image editing application, when the electronic device is a non-folding electronic device, the electronic device can divide the screen into four equal parts to obtain a four-split screen, and respectively display the video application interface, e-book application interface, instant messaging application interface and image editing interface in the four-split screen.

[0090] In another example, when the electronic device is a foldable electronic device, the electronic device can display a video application interface and an e-book application interface in a split screen in the left half area of ​​the screen of the foldable electronic device, and display an instant messaging application interface and an image editing interface in the right half area of ​​the screen of the foldable electronic device.

[0091] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier are displayed in split screen, the user can slide input on the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier, so that the electronic device can change the display position of the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier.

[0092] In one example, when the electronic device is a non-foldable electronic device and the electronic device displays an application interface corresponding to a first application identifier in the upper half of the screen and displays an application interface corresponding to a second application identifier in the lower half of the screen, the user can slide from the lower half of the screen to the upper half of the screen, so that the electronic device can display the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in the upper half of the screen and display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier in the lower half of the screen.

[0093] In another example, when the electronic device is a foldable electronic device and the electronic device displays an application interface corresponding to a first application identifier on the left half of the screen and displays an application interface corresponding to a second application identifier on the right half of the screen, the user can slide from the right half of the screen to the left half of the screen, so that the electronic device can display the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier on the left half of the screen and display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier on the right half of the screen.

[0094] In the split-screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the user's first input to the first area can cause the electronic device to display at least one application identifier in a first manner, and then the user can directly make a second input to one or more application icons, so that the electronic device can directly display multiple application interfaces in split screen. In other words, when performing split screen, the split screen operation can be completed by directly clicking multiple application identifiers in one page, and the split screen operation can be completed without jumping to different interfaces, which improves the flexibility of the electronic device in performing split screen operation.

[0095] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, combined with Figure 1 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the above step 201 can be specifically implemented by the following step 201a, and the above step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202a, and the above step 203 can be specifically implemented by the following step 203a.

[0096] Step 201a: The electronic device receives a user's first input of a first application identifier in the second area and a first area.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the second area may be an area corresponding to the desktop.

[0098] Exemplarily, the second region may include the first region.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first input is the input of the user selecting the first application identifier and the split-screen sensing area.

[0100] In an example, the first input may be that the user clicks on the first application logo and then drags the first application logo to the split-screen sensing area.

[0101] In another example, the first input may be that the user directly drags the first application identifier to the split-screen sensing area.

[0102] In another example, the first input may be a click input by the user using two fingers to respectively click the first application logo and the split-screen sensing area.

[0103] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first application identifier may be a first application identifier on the desktop, such as a video application icon, an e-book application icon, an instant messaging application icon, or an image editing application icon.

[0104] Step 202a: The electronic device displays a first application identifier in a first area in response to a first input.

[0105] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display the first application logo at a preset position in the split-screen sensing area.

[0106] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the preset position may be user-defined, or may be set in advance by the electronic device.

[0107] Exemplarily, the preset position may be in a blank display area of ​​the split-screen sensing area.

[0108] For example, Figure 4A As shown, the mobile phone displays a desktop 40, which includes 12 application icons and a split-screen sensing area 31, which are application icons of application 1 to application 12. For example, application 1 is a video application and application 2 is an instant messaging application. The user can drag application 1 to the split-screen sensing area 31. Figure 4B As shown, the mobile phone can display the application icon 32 of application 1 in the left half of the split-screen sensing area 31.

[0109] Step 203a: The electronic device receives a second input of a second application identifier in a second area by a user.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, the second input is an input in which the user selects the second application identifier from multiple application identifiers on the desktop.

[0111] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the second application identifier may be any application identifier on the desktop, such as a video application icon, an e-book application icon, an instant messaging application icon, or an image editing application icon.

[0112] For example, in combination Figure 4B ,like Figure 5 As shown, the user can select the application icon of application 2 in the desktop 40 and click on the application icon of application 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device can display a video application interface in the first area 20 of the screen 10; and display an instant messaging application interface in the second area 21 of the screen 10.

[0113] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the above step 202a, the split-screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following step 301.

[0114] Step 301: The electronic device displays N application logos in a second area in a second manner.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned N application identifiers are obtained based on the application recommendation corresponding to the first application identifier, and N is a positive integer.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, the second application identifier is an application identifier among the N application identifiers. It is understandable that after the electronic device displays the N application identifiers, the user can trigger the electronic device to display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in split screen by making a second input to the second application identifier among the N application identifiers.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, the value of N may be preset by the electronic device or set by the user.

[0118] In an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device displays the first application identifier in the split-screen sensing area, the electronic device can recommend to the user an application that can be split-screen with the application corresponding to the first application identifier based on the historical split-screen status of the application corresponding to the first application identifier.

[0119] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can obtain N application identifiers through the following three methods.

[0120] Method 1: If the application corresponding to the first application identifier has never been split-screen operated, the electronic device can compile a list of K applications that are most frequently split-screen combined with the application corresponding to the first application identifier based on big data statistics, and make recommendations based on the list and in combination with the application category of the application corresponding to the first application identifier to obtain N application identifiers, where K is an integer greater than or equal to N.

[0121] Method 2: If the application corresponding to the first application identifier has never been split-screen operated, the electronic device can use the N applications most frequently used by the user in the past week as recommended applications to obtain N application identifiers.

[0122] Mode 3: If the application corresponding to the first application identifier has been split-screen operated before, the electronic device can use N applications that have been split-screen combined with the application corresponding to the first application identifier as recommended applications to obtain N application identifiers.

[0123] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display N application logos in the split-screen sensing area.

[0124] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may horizontally arrange N application identifiers in the split-screen sensing area. Alternatively, the electronic device may vertically arrange N application identifiers in the split-screen sensing area.

[0125] For example, in combination Figure 4B ,like Figure 6 As shown, the user drags the application 1 to the split-screen sensing area 31, so that the mobile phone can automatically arrange and display four application logos vertically in the right half of the split-screen sensing area 31. Figure 6 Indicated by 1, 2, 3, 4.

[0126] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display N application logos in a pop-up window on the desktop. Alternatively, the electronic device may display N application logos in a blank area on the desktop, such as displaying N application logos in a blank area around the split-screen sensing area.

[0127] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may arrange N application identifiers horizontally in the pop-up window. Alternatively, the electronic device may arrange N application identifiers vertically in the pop-up window.

[0128] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may horizontally arrange N application identifiers in the blank area. Alternatively, the electronic device may vertically arrange N application identifiers in the blank area.

[0129] In one example, combining Figure 4B ,like Figure 7As shown, the user drags the application 1 to the split-screen sensing area 31 so that the mobile phone can horizontally arrange and display four application logos through a pop-up window 50 on the desktop 40. Figure 7 Indicated by 1, 2, 3, 4.

[0130] In another example, combining Figure 4A ,like Figure 8 As shown, the user drags the application 1 to the split-screen sensing area 31 , so that the mobile phone can horizontally arrange and display four application logos in the blank area 60 on the desktop 40 .

[0131] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, if the application identifier required by the user is not included in the above N application identifiers, the user can continue to search for the application identifier required by the user on the desktop.

[0132] Exemplarily, the user may perform sliding input on the desktop so that the electronic device may update multiple application identifiers displayed on the desktop, and the user may select a second application identifier of his or her own needs from the updated multiple application identifiers.

[0133] In an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device determines the first application identifier, the electronic device can display N recommended applications based on the first application identifier, so that the user can directly select the split-screen application of his or her own needs from the N recommended applications, without the user having to search one by one from the desktop, thereby improving the efficiency of the electronic device in finding applications.

[0134] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, combined with Figure 1 ,like Fig. 9 As shown, the above step 202 can be specifically implemented by the following step 202b, and the above step 203 can be specifically implemented by the following step 203b.

[0135] Step 202b: In response to the first input, the electronic device marks at least one application identifier displayed in the second area as a multi-selectable state.

[0136] It should be noted that the above-mentioned electronic device marks at least one application identifier displayed on the desktop as a multi-selectable state, and it can be considered that the electronic device has entered the split-screen mode at this time.

[0137] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first input can be a user's two-finger press input, multiple click input, or sliding from left to right, etc. on the split-screen sensing area. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage requirements and is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

[0138] In one example, taking the first input as a two-finger press input as an example, when the screen is on and unlocked, if the left and right areas of the split-screen sensing area receive two press events at the same time, the electronic device can respectively detect the pressing areas of the two fingers. When the pressing areas of the two fingers are respectively greater than or equal to the preset pressing areas, the electronic device can respond to the first input and mark at least one application identifier displayed on the desktop as a multiple-selection state.

[0139] In another example, taking the first input as a two-finger press input, when the screen is on and unlocked, if the left and right areas of the split-screen sensing area receive two press events at the same time, the electronic device can respectively detect the pressing strength of the two fingers. When the pressing strength of the two fingers is respectively greater than or equal to the preset pressing strength, the electronic device can respond to the first input and mark at least one application identifier displayed on the desktop as a multiple-selectable state.

[0140] In another example, taking the first input as multiple click input as an example, when the screen is on and unlocked, if the split-screen sensing area receives multiple click events, the electronic device can detect whether the number of clicks by the user in the split-screen sensing area is greater than a preset number of clicks. If the number of clicks by the user is greater than or equal to the preset number of clicks, the electronic device can respond to the first input and mark at least one application identifier displayed on the desktop as a multiple-selectable state.

[0141] In another example, taking the first input as a left-to-right sliding input, when the screen is in the unlocked state, if the split-screen sensing area receives a sliding event, and the electronic device detects that the sliding trajectory of the user's sliding event in the split-screen sensing area is a left-to-right sliding, the electronic device can respond to the first input and mark at least one application identifier displayed on the desktop as a multiple-selection state.

[0142] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, in response to the first input, the electronic device may update the display state of at least one application identifier displayed on the desktop to a shaking state to mark the at least one application identifier as a multi-selectable state. Alternatively, the electronic device may gray out the background of the desktop to mark the at least one application identifier as a multi-selectable state. Alternatively, the electronic device may update the display state of at least one application identifier displayed on the desktop to a beating state to mark the at least one application identifier as a multi-selectable state.

[0143] For example, in combination Figure 4A ,like Fig.10As shown, the user performs two-finger pressing input on the split-screen sensing area so that the mobile phone can detect the pressing area of ​​the user's two fingers respectively. When the pressing area of ​​the two fingers is greater than or equal to 5px respectively, the mobile phone can update the display state of the 12 application icons in the desktop 40 to a shaking state to prompt the user that the 12 application icons are in a multi-selectable state.

[0144] Step 203b: The electronic device receives a second input of the user regarding the first application identifier and the second application identifier in the second area.

[0145] In the embodiment of the present application, the second input is an input in which the user selects the first application identifier and the second application identifier on the desktop.

[0146] In the embodiment of the present application, the first application identifier and the second application identifier are both any application identifiers in the desktop.

[0147] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, a user can perform sliding input on the desktop so that the electronic device can update multiple application identifiers displayed on the desktop, and then the user can select a first application identifier and a second application identifier from the updated multiple application identifiers so that the electronic device can determine the first application identifier and the second application identifier.

[0148] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device determines the first application identifier, the user can slide input on the desktop so that the electronic device can update the multiple application identifiers displayed on the desktop, and then the user can select a second application identifier from the updated multiple application identifiers so that the electronic device can determine the second application identifier.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device enters the split-screen mode, the user can directly select two application identifiers, so that the electronic device can simultaneously display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier in a split-screen. The electronic device does not need to display an application interface first and then search for the application interface of another application, which simplifies the steps of the split-screen display of the electronic device, thereby improving the efficiency of the split-screen display of the electronic device.

[0150] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the above step 202b, the split-screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following step 401.

[0151] Step 401: The electronic device displays M application logos in a second area in a second manner.

[0152] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned M application identifiers are application identifiers whose usage information of the application meets the conditions, and M is an integer greater than 1.

[0153] In the embodiment of the present application, the first application identifier and the second application identifier are application identifiers among M application identifiers.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the user's input on the split-screen sensing area, the electronic device can recommend application identifiers of M split-screen applications to the user based on the historical usage of applications in the electronic device.

[0155] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can obtain M application identifiers through the following three methods.

[0156] Mode 1: The electronic device may determine the application identifiers of the top M applications with the highest historical usage times of the application programs in the electronic device as the M application identifiers.

[0157] Mode 2: The electronic device may determine the application identifiers of the top M applications with the longest historical usage time of the application programs in the electronic device as the M application identifiers.

[0158] Mode 3: The electronic device may determine the application identifiers of the first M applications currently running in the background as the M application identifiers.

[0159] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display M application logos in the split-screen sensing area.

[0160] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may horizontally arrange M application identifiers in the split-screen sensing area. Alternatively, the electronic device may vertically arrange M application identifiers in the split-screen sensing area.

[0161] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the user performs two-finger pressing input on the split-screen sensing area so that the mobile phone can detect the pressing areas of the two fingers of the user respectively. When the pressing areas of the two fingers are respectively greater than or equal to 5px, the mobile phone can vertically arrange and display 4 application logos in the right half of the split-screen sensing area 31.

[0162] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display the M application identifiers in a pop-up window on the desktop. Alternatively, the electronic device may display the M application identifiers in a blank area on the desktop.

[0163] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may arrange M application identifiers horizontally in the pop-up window. Alternatively, the electronic device may arrange M application identifiers vertically in the pop-up window.

[0164] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may horizontally arrange M application identifiers in the blank area. Alternatively, the electronic device may vertically arrange M application identifiers in the blank area.

[0165] In one example, if Figure 7 As shown, the user performs two-finger pressing input on the split-screen sensing area so that the mobile phone can detect the pressing areas of the two fingers of the user respectively. When the pressing areas of the two fingers are respectively greater than or equal to 5px, the mobile phone can horizontally arrange and display 4 application logos in the desktop 40 through a pop-up window 50.

[0166] In another example, Figure 8 As shown, the user performs a two-finger press input on the split-screen sensing area so that the mobile phone can detect the pressing areas of the two fingers of the user respectively. When the pressing areas of the two fingers are respectively greater than or equal to 5px, the mobile phone can horizontally arrange and display 4 application logos in the blank area 60 in the desktop 40.

[0167] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, if the application identifier required by the user is not included in the above M application identifiers, the user can continue to search for the application identifier required by the user on the desktop.

[0168] Exemplarily, the user may perform sliding input on the desktop so that the electronic device may update multiple application identifiers displayed on the desktop, and the user may select the first application identifier and the second application identifier of his / her needs from the updated multiple application identifiers.

[0169] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display the application identifiers of M recommended applications, so that the user can directly select the split-screen application of his or her own needs from the M recommended applications without the user having to search for them one by one from the desktop, thereby improving the efficiency of the electronic device in searching for applications. Moreover, the user can enable the electronic device to start two applications and present them at the same time through a simple sliding or clicking operation, and the interaction is more intuitive.

[0170] Furthermore, the electronic device starts two applications and presents them at the same time, which reduces the battery consumption of two frequency-raising operations, screen drawing, etc., and reduces the power consumption of the electronic device. From the user's mental level, the screen of the electronic device can directly present the split-screen form that the user wants, instead of appearing half first and then the other half, and the visual logic is more unified.

[0171] Optionally, the split-screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes the following step 501.

[0172] Step 501: After receiving a user input of a first application identifier, the electronic device preloads an application process corresponding to the first application identifier.

[0173] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can preload the application process corresponding to the first application identifier in the background. That is, after the user clicks the first application identifier, the electronic device does not directly display the application interface corresponding to the first application, but first loads the application process corresponding to the first application identifier, and waits for the user to select the second application identifier. After that, the electronic device can run the application corresponding to the first application identifier and the application corresponding to the second application identifier at the same time.

[0174] It should be noted that the above-mentioned preloading is to request all application processes corresponding to the first application identifier in advance, and load the requested process resources into the cache. In this way, when the electronic device runs the application corresponding to the first application identifier, it can directly obtain it from the cache, which reduces the user's waiting time and improves the efficiency of the electronic device in starting the application.

[0175] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned application process may be one or more.

[0176] Exemplarily, the first application identifier may correspond to one application, and the application process may correspond to one application or one or more processes.

[0177] Exemplarily, when the application corresponding to the first application identifier is a video application, the application process may include at least one of the following: a video search process, a video playback process, a video interface display process, and the like.

[0178] As another example, when the application corresponding to the first application identifier is an e-book application, the application process may include at least one of the following: an e-book search process, an e-book voice playback process, and an electronic device interface display process.

[0179] In an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device determines the application corresponding to the first application identifier, the electronic device does not directly display the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier, but first preloads the application process corresponding to the first application identifier, and after the electronic device determines the application corresponding to the second application identifier, it simultaneously displays the application interface corresponding to the first application identifier and the application interface corresponding to the second application identifier.

[0180] In this way, the electronic device can display the application interfaces of two applications through only one frequency increase operation, without the need for multiple frequency increase operations, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0181] It should be noted that the execution timing of the above step 501 may be after step 201, or after step 201a, or after "the electronic device receives the user's identification of the first application on the desktop" in step 203b. For example, the electronic device may execute step 501 after step 201a, which may be determined according to actual usage, and is not limited in the present embodiment of the application.

[0182] The following is a specific example to illustrate the implementation process of the split-screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0183] Example 1: Take the case where two application interfaces are displayed in split screen, and the first input is the user's input of the application identifier 1 and the split screen sensing area as an example.

[0184] Step 20: The user drags the application logo 1 to the split-screen sensing area.

[0185] Step 21: The electronic device displays application identification 1 in the left area of ​​the split-screen sensing area, and displays N application identifications in the right area of ​​the split-screen sensing area.

[0186] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned N application identifiers are recommended by the electronic device based on the first application identifier.

[0187] It should be noted that, after the above step 21, the electronic device may receive the user's input of the application identifier 2 in the following step 22 or step 23.

[0188] Step 22: The user selects application identifier 2 from N application identifiers.

[0189] Step 23: The user selects application ID 2 from the desktop.

[0190] Step 24: The electronic device runs the application corresponding to application identifier 1 and the application corresponding to application identifier 2 simultaneously, and displays the application interface corresponding to application identifier 1 and the application interface corresponding to application identifier 2 in split screen.

[0191] Example 2: Take the case where two application interfaces are displayed in split screen, and the first input is the user's input to the split screen sensing area. Fig.12 As shown, the split-screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented through the following steps 30 to 35.

[0192] Step 30: The user performs sliding input in the split-screen sensing area.

[0193] Step 31: The electronic device displays M application logos in a blank area on the desktop.

[0194] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned M application identifiers are recommended by the electronic device based on the historical usage of the applications in the electronic device.

[0195] It should be noted that after the above step 31, the electronic device may receive the user's input of the application identifier 1 and the application identifier 2 in the following step 32, step 33 or step 34.

[0196] Step 32: The user selects application identifier 1 and application identifier 2 from the M application identifiers.

[0197] Step 33: The user selects application identifier 1 from the M application identifiers and selects application identifier 2 from the desktop.

[0198] Step 34: The user selects application ID 1 and application ID 2 from the desktop.

[0199] Step 35 : The electronic device simultaneously runs the application corresponding to application identifier 1 and the application corresponding to application identifier 2 , and displays the application interface corresponding to application identifier 1 and the application interface corresponding to application identifier 2 in split screen.

[0200] The above-mentioned method embodiments, or various possible implementation methods in each method embodiment, can be executed separately, or, under the premise that there is no contradiction, can also be executed in combination with each other. The specific implementation can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0201] It should be noted that the split-screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a split-screen display device, or an electronic device, or can also be a functional module or entity in an electronic device. In the embodiment of the present application, the split-screen display device executing the split-screen display method is taken as an example to illustrate the split-screen display device provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0202] Fig.13 A possible structural diagram of a split-screen display device involved in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Fig.13 As shown, the split-screen display device 70 may include: a receiving module 71 and a display module 72.

In other words, when performing a split-screen operation, the split-screen operation can be completed by directly clicking multiple application identifiers in one page, and the split-screen operation can be completed without jumping to different interfaces, thereby improving the flexibility of the split-screen display device in performing a split-screen operation.
