[0002] With the development of electronic device technology, the functions of electronic devices are becoming more and more abundant. For example, electronic devices can switch from one interface to another.

[0003] For example, in the related art, when a user is editing a note, if he needs to insert an image into the note, the user can click the add control in the note interface to trigger the electronic device to display the album interface on the note interface, so that the user can select an image in the album interface. After the user completes the selection of the image, the user can perform a confirmation input on the album interface to trigger the electronic device to cancel the display of the album interface, so that the user can view the insertion effect of the image in the note editing interface. If the user is not satisfied with the inserted image, the user needs to trigger the electronic device to switch to the album interface again so that the user can reselect the image.

[0004] However, according to the above method, when a user triggers the electronic device to switch from one interface to another, the electronic device displays the other interface superimposed on the one interface. As a result, when the electronic device displays the other interface, the user cannot view the content in the one interface, resulting in poor display effect of the electronic device. Summary of the invention

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The nouns or terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below.

[0030] Interface link: refers to the connection relationship established between interfaces or within an interface, allowing users to jump from one interface to another interface or a specific part of an interface. This connection relationship can be text, images or other elements, and after clicking, users can navigate to different interfaces or specific locations within an interface.

[0031] Foldable screen: refers to a screen that can be bent at a certain angle, such as 180°, along a preset direction under the action of external force. Generally, a foldable screen may include a flexible screen, wherein a flexible screen refers to a screen that can be rolled up arbitrarily.

[0032] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0033] The interface display method and device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The interface display method and device provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the scenario of inserting an attachment into an interface or jumping from a link in an interface to another interface indicated by the link. The attachment may include at least one of a document, music, video and image.

[0035] For example, taking the user editing a note as an example, the electronic device displays the note editing interface in the first screen area. During the process of the user editing the note through the note editing interface, if the user needs to insert an image into the note, the user can click on the image adding control in the note editing interface, that is, the first mark, to trigger the electronic device to continue to display the note editing interface in the first screen area and display the album interface in the second screen area. In this way, since the electronic device can display the note editing interface and the album interface in different screen areas respectively, the user can view the album interface and the note editing interface at the same time, and after the user selects an image, the insertion effect of the selected image in the note editing interface can be viewed without triggering the electronic device to switch interfaces, thereby improving the display effect of the electronic device.

[0036] For example, taking the case where a user edits a social sharing copy, the electronic device displays a social sharing copy editing interface in the first screen area. During the process of the user editing the social sharing copy through the social sharing copy editing interface, if the user needs to insert an image into the social sharing copy, the user can click on the image adding control, i.e., the first mark, in the social sharing copy editing interface to trigger the electronic device to continue to display the social sharing copy editing interface in the first screen area and display the album interface in the second screen area. In this way, since the electronic device can display the social sharing copy editing interface and the album interface in different screen areas respectively, the user can view the album interface and the social sharing copy editing interface at the same time, and after the user selects an image, the insertion effect of the selected image in the social sharing copy editing interface can be viewed without triggering the electronic device to switch interfaces, thereby improving the display effect of the electronic device.

[0037] For example, taking a user browsing a web page as an example, the electronic device displays the web page in the first screen area. During the process of the user browsing the web page, if the user is interested in the product indicated by the shopping link in the web page, the user can click on the shopping link in the web page, that is, the first identifier, to trigger the electronic device to continue to display the web page in the first screen area, and display the shopping interface indicated by the shopping link in the second screen area. In this way, since the electronic device can display the web page and the shopping interface indicated by the shopping link in different screen areas respectively, the user can view the web page and the shopping interface at the same time, without the need for the electronic device to perform an interface switching operation again before the user can continue to view the content in the web page as in the related art, thus improving the display effect of the electronic device and simplifying the operation process of the electronic device displaying the interface.

[0038] The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android operating system, an iOS operating system, or other possible operating systems, which are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] The interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an electronic device or at least one of the functional modules and entity modules in the electronic device that can implement the interface display method. The specific execution can be determined according to actual use requirements and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, an electronic device executing the interface display method is taken as an example to illustrate the interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0040] The present application embodiment provides an interface display method, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the process of the interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include step 101 and step 102.

[0041] Step 101: An electronic device receives a first input from a user on a first identifier in a first interface.

[0042] The first interface may be an interface displayed in a first screen area of ​​the electronic device, and the first identifier may be used to indicate the second interface.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the first identifier may be any one of the following: an attachment adding control, an interface link of the second interface, or an identifier of the second interface.

[0044] Among them, the attachment adding control can be used to add at least one of the following attachments in the first interface: document, video, audio, image.

[0045] Among them, the above-mentioned interface link can be an address link, a shopping link, an audio link, a video link, a document link, or any other link that can indicate the second interface or part of the content in the second interface.

[0046] The interface identifier may be an index of the second interface, a name of the second interface, or any other identifier that can uniquely indicate the second interface.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned video, audio and image may be stored locally on the electronic device, or may be collected in real time by the electronic device.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, when the above-mentioned attachment adding identifier is used to add a document in the first interface, the document can be any of the following: a word document, an Excel document, a slide document, or any other possible document.

[0049] It should be noted that the electronic device can add a document identifier or link in the first interface, so that the user can trigger the electronic device to display the content in the document, such as displaying a document content display interface, by inputting the document identifier or link. In some embodiments of the present application, the first interface can be any possible interface such as a content editing interface, a web page, a blog interface, or a social sharing interface.

[0050] The content editing interface may include: a conversation interface or a chat interface, a document editing interface, a note editing interface, or an editing interface for social sharing content, or any other interface that can add attachments.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the first interface and the second interface may be interfaces in different applications, or may be different interfaces in the same application.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the first identifier is used to indicate the second interface, which can be understood as the electronic device can display the second interface based on the user's first input to the first identifier.

[0053] For example, when the first interface is a note editing interface displayed in the first screen area, the user can make a first input to the "Add" control in the note editing interface, triggering the electronic device to continue displaying the note editing interface in the first screen area, and display the album interface in another screen area such as the second screen area described below, that is, the second interface.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the first screen area may be a screen area in a rigid screen of the electronic device, or may be a screen area in a foldable screen of the electronic device. The rigid screen may be: a non-foldable conventional screen.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the foldable screen may correspond to at least one folding component, such as a hinge component, and each folding component may separate the foldable screen into two screen areas.

[0056] Among them, when the foldable screen corresponds to multiple folding components, the folding directions of the multiple folding components can be completely the same, or can be at least partially different.

[0057] For example, assuming that the foldable screen corresponds to two hinge components arranged in parallel, then Figure 2 As shown, the foldable screen corresponds to the hinge assembly 21 and the hinge assembly 22. The left screen area 25 of the foldable screen can be folded toward the middle screen area 26 in the direction indicated by the arrow 23 with the hinge assembly 21 as the axis; the right screen area 27 of the foldable screen can be folded toward the back of the middle screen area 26 in the direction indicated by the arrow 24 with the hinge assembly 22 as the axis, so that the foldable screen can be folded or unfolded in a "Z" shape; or, the left screen area 25 of the foldable screen can be folded toward the middle screen area 26 in the direction indicated by the arrow 23 with the hinge assembly 21 as the axis; after the left screen area 25 is folded toward the middle screen area 26, the middle screen area 26 of the foldable screen can continue to fold toward the right screen area 27 in the direction indicated by the arrow 24 with the hinge assembly 22 as the axis, so that the foldable screen can be folded or unfolded in the form of a scroll.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the first input includes but is not limited to: a touch input of the first 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. The specific input can be determined according to actual use requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned specific gesture can be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a drag gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture, and a double-click gesture.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the touch input may be a click input, a long press input, a heavy press input, or any possible touch input, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The click input may be a single click input, a double click input, or any number of click inputs.

[0061] For example, the electronic device is a mobile phone. Figure 3A As shown, the mobile phone displays a note editing interface 31 in the first screen area 30, and the note editing interface 31 includes an "add" control 32. The user can click on the add control 32, that is, the first mark, to trigger the electronic device such as Figure 3B As shown, the note editing interface 31 continues to be displayed in the first screen area 30 , and the album interface 34 is displayed in the second screen area 33 .

[0062] Step 102: In response to the first input, the electronic device continues to display the first interface in the first screen area and displays the second interface in the second screen area of ​​the electronic device.

[0063] The first screen area is different from the second screen area.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the first screen area is different from the second screen area and may include: the first screen area and the second screen area are different screen areas in the same screen of the electronic device, or the first screen area and the second screen area are screen areas in different screens of the electronic device.

[0065] For example, the first screen area may be an upper half area of ​​a screen, and the second screen area may be a lower half area of ​​the screen.

[0066] For another example, the first screen area may be a screen area on the left side of the folding line of the foldable screen, and the second screen area may be another screen area on the right side of the folding line of the foldable screen.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the second screen area may be a default screen area of ​​the electronic device, a screen area determined by the electronic device according to a preset rule, or a screen area selected by the user through input, such as the second input described below. The preset rule may include any of the following: the screen area closest to the first screen area, the screen area where no content is displayed, and the correspondence between the motion parameters of the electronic device and the screen area.

[0068] Exemplarily, when the preset rule is the correspondence between the motion parameters of the electronic device and the screen area, the motion parameters corresponding to each screen area can be set in advance, so that when the electronic device detects the motion parameters corresponding to a screen area, the electronic device can determine the screen area as the second screen area.

[0069] For example, the number of flipping circles, flipping angles or shaking times corresponding to each screen area can be preset so that the electronic device can determine the second screen area by detecting the motion parameters of the electronic device.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the second interface is an interface associated with the task corresponding to the first interface.

[0071] For example, the first interface is a social copy editing interface, so the first interface corresponds to the copy editing task, and the second interface is a document selection interface or an album interface associated with the copy editing task.

[0072] The second interface may be the corresponding album interface in the social sharing editing copywriting task.

[0073] The interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] For example, the electronic device is a mobile phone with a foldable screen, and the user edits a note in a screen area of ​​the foldable screen. Figure 3A As shown, the mobile phone displays a note editing interface 31 in the first screen area 30 of the foldable screen. When the user edits a note through the note editing interface 31, if the user needs to insert an image into the note, the user can click on the "add" control 32, i.e., the first mark, in the note editing interface 31, so as to Figure 3B As shown, the mobile phone can continue to display the note editing interface 31 in the first screen area 30, and display the album interface 34 in the second screen area 33 of the foldable screen. In this way, when the user inputs the "add" control in the note editing interface, since the mobile phone can display the note editing interface 31 and the album interface 34 in different screen areas respectively, the user can view the album interface 34 and the note editing interface 31 at the same time, and after the user selects an image, the insertion effect of the selected image in the note editing interface can be viewed without triggering the mobile phone to switch interfaces, thereby improving the display effect of the mobile phone.

[0075] In the interface display method provided in the present application, since the user can trigger the electronic device to continue displaying the first interface and display the second interface in a screen area different from the screen area where the first interface is located through the first input of the first identifier in the first interface, the user can view the contents in the first interface and the second interface at the same time. Compared with the user triggering the electronic device to switch back and forth between the two interfaces before viewing the contents in the two interfaces in turn, the interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve the interface display effect of the electronic device.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, before the above step 101, the interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include steps 103 to 105.

[0077] Step 103: The electronic device displays at least one screen identifier in the first screen area.

[0078] Each screen identifier may be used to indicate a screen area in the electronic device that is different from the first screen area.

[0079] It can be understood that the first screen area may be a screen area currently used or operated by the user.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can determine the screen area currently used by the user based on the input position of the user on the screen of the electronic device. Alternatively, the electronic device can determine the screen area currently used by the user through an image captured by a camera, such as a front camera; for example, the electronic device can determine the user's line of sight based on a face image captured by the front camera, and determine the screen area currently used by the user based on the line of sight.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the screen logo may be any of the following: a floating ball, text, a symbol, a letter, an image, etc.

[0082] The shape of the suspended ball can be any of the following: circular, polygonal, or any other possible regular or irregular shape.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, when the screen logo is a floating ball, the floating ball may include at least one of the following: numbers, text, letters, symbols, etc., any content that can indicate the screen area, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. Among them, the symbol indicating the screen area may include: an arrow pointing to the screen area, a pattern or graphic indicating the arrangement of the screen areas. For example, when the screen logo is a floating ball and the screen logo includes numbers, such as Figure 4As shown, the electronic device can display a floating ball 41 including the number 2 and a floating ball 42 including the number 3 in the first screen area 40. The floating ball 41 can be used to indicate the screen area 2, and the floating ball 42 can be used to indicate the screen area 3.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the display area of ​​the at least one screen logo may be located within the display area of ​​the first interface, or the display area of ​​the at least one screen logo may be different from the display area of ​​the first interface.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the at least one screen logo may be displayed in a superimposed manner on the first interface, or may be displayed in a suspended manner on the first interface.

[0086] Step 104: The electronic device receives a second input from a user regarding a first screen identifier among the at least one screen identifier.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the first screen identifier may be any one of the at least one screen identifier mentioned above.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, the second input includes but is not limited to: a touch input of the user to the first screen mark 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. The specific input can be determined according to actual use requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned specific gesture can be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a drag gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture, and a double-click gesture.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the touch input may be a click input, a long press input, a heavy press input, or any possible touch input, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The click input may be a single click input, a double click input, or any number of click inputs.

[0091] Step 105: The electronic device selects the second screen area indicated by the first screen identifier in response to the second input.

[0092] It can be understood that the user first selects the second screen area through the second input, so that when the user performs the first input on the first identifier, the electronic device can directly display the second interface in the second screen area selected by the user, so that the screen area where the second interface is located meets the user's display requirements.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, after the electronic device selects at least the second screen area marked by the first screen, before the user triggers the electronic device to display content in the second screen area, such as the second interface mentioned above, the electronic device can continue to select the second screen area, even if the second screen area continues to be selected.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, within a first preset time period after the electronic device selects at least the second screen area marked with the first screen, if the electronic device does not receive the first input, the electronic device may deselect the second screen area.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, when at least one of the above-mentioned screen identifiers is displayed in the first screen area, if the user does not select any of the at least one screen identifier, then after receiving the above-mentioned first input, the electronic device may cancel the display of the first interface in the first screen area, and display the second interface in the first screen area, that is, the electronic device switches from the first interface to the second interface; or the electronic device may display the second interface on top of the first interface.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, after the electronic device selects the second screen area, the display position of the first screen identifier may change as the input position of the user's input to the first interface changes.

[0097] For example, after the electronic device selects the second screen area, if the user clicks at the first position of the first interface, the electronic device can display the first screen logo at the first position; or, the electronic device can display the first screen logo in an adjacent area to the first position.

[0098] In this way, since the input position of the user input can reflect the user's gaze area, the electronic device controls the display position of the first screen logo to change as the input position of the user input changes, thereby ensuring that the first screen logo is always within the user's line of sight, so that the user can confirm the selected screen area at any time during the process of viewing or browsing the interface content of the first interface, thereby improving the human-computer interaction performance.

[0099] It can be understood that the above embodiment is illustrated by taking the example that the user triggers the electronic device to select the second screen area through the second input before executing the first input. In actual implementation, the user can first execute the first input and then select the second screen area.

[0100] For example, after the user performs a first input, the electronic device may display a prompt message and at least one screen identifier, and the prompt message may prompt the user to select a screen area for displaying the second interface, so that the user can input one of the at least one screen identifiers to trigger the electronic device to display the second interface in the screen area indicated by the screen identifier.

[0101] The interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is exemplarily described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0102] For example, Figure 5A As shown, the electronic device includes three screen areas, namely screen area 50, screen area 53 and screen area 54; screen area 50 includes a note editing interface, screen mark 51 and screen mark 52; wherein screen mark 51 indicates screen area 53, and screen mark 52 indicates screen area 54; Figure 5A As shown, the user can click the screen logo 51, that is, the second input, to trigger the electronic device to select the screen area 53, and then the user can click the "add" control 55 in the first interface, that is, the first input, so as to Figure 5B As shown, the electronic device can continue to display the note editing interface in the screen area 50, and display the album interface indicated by the "add" control 55, that is, the second interface, in the screen area 53. In this way, the user can select the screen area for displaying the new interface by selecting the screen identifier, so that the electronic device can display the new interface in the screen area that meets the user's display requirements while continuing to display the note editing interface.

[0103] In this way, since the electronic device can display at least one screen identifier in the first screen area, each screen identifier can be used to indicate a screen area in the electronic device that is different from the first screen area, so that the user can trigger the electronic device to select the second screen area indicated by the first screen identifier through a second input of the first screen identifier among the at least one screen identifier. Therefore, when the electronic device receives the user's first input of the first identifier, the electronic device can directly display the second interface in the second screen area selected by the user. Therefore, the display area of ​​the second interface can be more in line with the user's viewing needs, thereby further improving the display effect of the electronic device.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, after the electronic device displays the second interface in the second screen area, the electronic device may cancel displaying the first screen identifier in the first screen area; that is, the screen identifier of the available or unoccupied screen area of ​​the electronic device in the first screen area.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first screen area includes multiple screen identifiers, after the electronic device displays the second interface in the second screen area, the user can also input the second screen identifier among the multiple screen identifiers to trigger the electronic device to select the third screen area indicated by the second screen identifier, so that when the user inputs the second identifier in the first interface, the electronic device can display the interface indicated by the second identifier in the third screen area. The second screen identifier is different from the first screen identifier.

[0106] For example, Figure 5B As shown, the electronic device continues to display the note editing interface in the screen area 50, and displays the album interface indicated by the "add" control 55 in the screen area 53, that is, the first interface; the user can continue to click the screen logo 52 to trigger the selection of the screen area 54, and can click the shopping link 56 in the note editing interface, so as to Figure 5C As shown, the electronic device can display the shopping interface indicated by the shopping link 56 in the screen area 54 .

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, after step 104, the interface display method provided by the embodiments of the present application may further include the following step 106.

[0108] Step 106: The electronic device adjusts display parameters of the first screen identifier in response to the second input.

[0109] The adjusted display parameters of the first screen identifier may be used to indicate that the second screen area is in a selected state.

[0110] It should be noted that the display parameters of the first screen identifier before and after the adjustment are different, that is, the display parameters of the first screen identifier before the adjustment are used to indicate that the first screen area is in an unselected state.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, the display parameters of the screen logo can be any of the following: the color of the screen logo, the transparency of the screen logo, the shape of the screen logo, the size of the screen logo, the angle of the screen logo, and any other parameters that can display the first screen logo. The specific parameters can be determined based on actual usage, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0112] For example, the display parameter of the first screen logo is the shape of the screen logo. Fig. 6A As shown, assuming that at least one screen marker is displayed as a circle when it is not selected, then, Figure 6B As shown, after the user performs input on the first screen logo 61, the electronic device can select the second screen area and adjust the shape of the first screen logo from a circle to a triangle.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present application, when the at least one screen identifier includes multiple screen identifiers, after the user performs a second input on one of the multiple screen identifiers, the electronic device may select the screen area indicated by the one screen identifier and adjust the display parameter of the one screen identifier to display parameter 1; then, if the user performs a second input on another screen identifier of the multiple screen identifiers, the electronic device may deselect the screen area indicated by the one screen identifier and adjust the display parameter of the one screen identifier to display parameter 2, and select the screen area indicated by the other screen identifier and adjust the display parameter of the other screen identifier to display parameter 1. Display parameter 1 indicates that the corresponding screen area is in a selected state, and display parameter 2 indicates that the corresponding screen area is in an unselected state.

[0114] In this way, after the user performs the second input on the first screen identifier, since the electronic device can adjust the display parameters of the first screen identifier, the user can quickly distinguish and confirm the selected screen area according to the display parameters of the screen identifier displayed in the first screen area. In other words, the user can quickly confirm the screen area selection result according to the display parameters of the screen identifier, thereby further improving the display effect of the electronic device and improving the human-computer interaction performance.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 102, the embodiments of the present application may further include the following steps 107 and 108.

[0116] Step 107: The electronic device receives a third input from the user while the third interface is running in the background.

[0117] The third interface may be the first interface or the second interface.

[0118] It can be understood that the third input is an input for the user to switch the third interface from background operation to foreground operation.

[0119] It should be noted that the user can trigger the electronic device to switch the third interface from the foreground to the background through input, or the electronic device can switch the third interface from the foreground to the background when the third interface meets the first condition. The first condition may include any of the following: the user does not perform input on the third interface within the second preset time, and the screen of the electronic device is switched to the off state.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the third input includes but is not limited to: a user's touch input of a logo indicating the third interface in the background task bar of the electronic device 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 an input of the power button of the electronic device by the user, or other feasible input. The specific input can be determined according to actual use requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0121] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned specific gesture can be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a drag gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture, and a double-click gesture.

[0122] In some embodiments of the present application, the touch input may be a click input, a long press input, a heavy press input, or any possible touch input, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The click input may be a single click input, a double click input, or any number of click inputs.

[0123] Step 108: The electronic device displays a third interface in the screen area corresponding to the first corresponding relationship in response to the third input.

[0124] The first corresponding relationship is the corresponding relationship between the third interface and the screen area displaying the third interface before the third interface is switched to the background operation.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can record the correspondence between the identifier of the third interface and the screen identifier of the screen area displaying the third interface when switching the third interface to the background operation to obtain a first correspondence. Thus, when the electronic device switches the third interface from the background operation to the foreground operation again, the electronic device can directly display the third interface in the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence.

[0126] It can be understood that the screen area corresponding to the first corresponding relationship may be: the screen area indicated by the screen identifier in the first corresponding relationship.

[0127] For example, when the third interface is the first interface, the first correspondence may include the screen identifier of the first screen area, that is, the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is the first screen area, so that the electronic device can display the third interface in the first screen area.

[0128] For another example, when the third interface is the second interface, the first correspondence may include an identifier of the second screen area, that is, the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is the second screen area, so that the electronic device can display the third interface in the second screen area.

[0129] In this way, when the user triggers the electronic device to switch the third interface from background operation to foreground operation through the third input, the electronic device can display the third interface according to the correspondence between the third interface and the screen area displaying the third interface before the third interface is switched to background operation, that is, the electronic device can continue to display the third interface in the screen area originally displaying the third interface, thereby maintaining the consistency of the display area of ​​the interface.

[0130] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may include a foldable screen, and the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is a screen area in the foldable screen. The above step 108 may be implemented by the following step 108A or step 108B.

[0131] Step 108A: In response to the third input, the electronic device displays a third interface in the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence relationship when the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence relationship is visible to the user.

[0132] Step 108B: In response to the third input, the electronic device controls the folding screen to switch to an unfolded state and displays the third interface in the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence when the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is not visible to the user.

[0133] It can be understood that “the screen area is visible to the user” can be understood as: the screen area is facing the user, for example, facing the face of the user.

[0134] In some embodiments of the present application, if the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is a screen area in a foldable screen, then when the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is not visible to the user, it indicates that the foldable screen is in a folded state, so that the electronic device can make the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence visible to the user by switching the foldable screen to an unfolded state.

[0135] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may determine whether the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is visible to the user according to the folding angle of the foldable screen. Figure 7 As shown, the folding angle α of the foldable screen may be the angle between the two screen areas when the two screen areas are folded around the folding component 72 .

[0136] For example, if the folding angle of the foldable screen is greater than or equal to a preset angle, such as 90°, it means that the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is visible to the user.

[0137] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may also capture images through a camera corresponding to the screen area corresponding to the first corresponding relationship, and determine whether the screen area is visible to the user based on the captured image.

[0138] The camera corresponding to the screen area may be: a camera arranged in the screen area or in an area adjacent to the screen area.

[0139] It should be noted that the above embodiment is illustrated by taking the example of a user switching an interface running in the background to the foreground. In actual implementation, when the user switches multiple interfaces from the background to the foreground at the same time, the electronic device can perform the same judgment on each of the multiple interfaces separately.

[0140] For example, suppose the user switches interface 1 and interface 2 running in the background to the foreground through input, then:

[0141] For interface 1, the electronic device can display interface 1 in the corresponding screen area based on the correspondence between the recorded identifier of interface 1 and the screen identifier of the screen area displaying interface 1, that is, the first correspondence.

[0142] For interface 2, the electronic device can display interface 2 in the corresponding screen area based on the correspondence between the recorded identifier of interface 2 and the screen identifier of the screen area displaying interface 2, that is, the first correspondence.

[0143] In this way, when the user switches the third interface from background operation to foreground operation, and the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is a screen area in the folded screen, since the electronic device can display the third interface in the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence both when the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is visible to the user and when it is invisible to the user, the electronic device can not only ensure the consistency of the display area of ​​the third interface, but also ensure that the user can see the content in the third interface, so that the electronic device can display the third interface more accurately, further improving the display effect of the electronic device.

[0144] In some embodiments of the present application, after step 107, the interface display method provided by the embodiments of the present application may further include step 109.

[0145] Step 109: In response to the third input, the electronic device displays a third interface in any screen area visible to the user in the electronic device when the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is not visible to the user.

[0146] In some embodiments of the present application, the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence relationship being invisible to the user may include:

[0147] 1) If the screen area corresponding to the first corresponding relationship is a screen area in the foldable screen, it means that the foldable screen is in a folded state.

[0148] 2) If the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is a screen area in the non-folding screen, it means that the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is facing away from the user. For example, assuming that the electronic device includes two screens facing away from each other, and the user uses one of the two screens, the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is a screen area in the other screen.

[0149] In some embodiments of the present application, when an electronic device displays a third interface in any screen area visible to a user in the electronic device, the any screen area also includes an identifier of the screen area where the third interface is located before the third interface is switched to background operation.

[0150] For example, Figure 8 As shown, the electronic device can display the third interface 82 and the screen identifier 83 of the screen area where the third interface is located before switching to the background in the screen area 81, and the screen area indicated by the screen identifier 83 is different from the screen area 81.

[0151] In some embodiments of the present application, when an electronic device displays a third interface in any screen area visible to a user in the electronic device, if the electronic device detects that the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence is visible to the user, the electronic device may cancel the display of the third interface in the any screen area and display the third interface in the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence.

[0152] For other descriptions of step 109, refer to the relevant descriptions of step 108 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here to avoid repetition.

[0153] In this way, when the user switches the third interface from background operation to foreground operation, and the screen area originally displaying the third interface is invisible to the user, since the electronic device can display the third interface in any screen area of ​​the electronic device that is visible to the user, it can be ensured that the user can view the content in the third interface. Therefore, compared with various schemes that display the third interface in a screen area that is invisible to the user, the interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve the display effect of the electronic device.

[0154] The interface display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an interface display device. In the embodiment of the present application, the interface display device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the interface display method executed by the interface display device as an example.

[0156] In some embodiments of the present application, the display module 1102 may also be used to display at least one screen identifier in the first screen area before the receiving module 1101 receives the first input of the user to the first identifier in the first interface, each screen identifier is used to indicate a screen area in the electronic device that is different from the first screen area; the receiving module 1101 may also be used to receive a second input of the user to the first screen identifier in the at least one screen identifier;

[0157] In some embodiments of the present application, the apparatus further includes: a processing module, which may be configured to select a second screen area indicated by the first screen identifier in response to a second input received by the receiving module 1101 .

[0158] In some embodiments of the present application, after the processing module selects the second screen area, the display position of the first screen logo may change as the input position of the user's input to the first interface changes.

[0160] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned receiving module 1101 can also be used to receive the user's third input when the third interface is running in the background after the display module 1102 displays the second interface in the second screen area of ​​the electronic device, and the third interface is the first interface or the second interface; the above-mentioned display module 1102 can also be used to display the third interface in the screen area corresponding to the first correspondence relationship in response to the third input received by the receiving module 1101; wherein the first correspondence relationship is the correspondence between the third interface and the screen area displaying the third interface before the third interface is switched to the background.

[0164] In the interface display device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the interface display device can receive a first input of a user to a first identifier in a first interface, and in response to the first input, continue to display the first interface in the first screen area, and display the second interface in the second screen area of ​​the electronic device; wherein the first interface is an interface displayed in the first screen area of ​​the electronic device, and the first identifier can be used to indicate the second interface; the first screen area is different from the second screen area. Through this device, since the user can trigger the electronic device to continue to display the first interface and display the second interface in a screen area different from the screen area where the first interface is located through the first input of the first identifier in the first interface, the user can view the contents of the first interface and the second interface at the same time. Compared with the user triggering the electronic device to switch back and forth between the two interfaces before viewing the contents of the two interfaces in turn, the interface display device provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve the interface display effect of the electronic device.
