Description

Display method and electronic device

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on July 28, 2022, with application number 202210904347.3 and application name “Display Method and Electronic Device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a display method and an electronic device. Background Art

[0003] With the rapid development of electronic technology, mobile phones, tablets, computers, and other electronic devices have become indispensable tools in people's lives and work. According to statistics, people check their phones approximately 150 times a day. However, in most cases, users check their phone screens for a specific purpose, such as checking their calendars or opening Alipay to pay a merchant.

[0004] However, the current desktop display format of electronic devices is relatively simple. As device applications become increasingly complex and their functions become increasingly rich, users often need to spend a lot of time searching for the applications they need to open, which undoubtedly wastes users' time and reduces the user experience. Therefore, it is necessary to design a more convenient display interface for electronic devices.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a display method and electronic device that can dynamically present application and service cards that a user may use in the current scenario based on the user's actual needs in the current scenario, helping the user to locate the application they need to browse more quickly and providing a better user experience.

[0007] The above-mentioned and other objects are achieved by the features of the independent claims. Further implementations are given in the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present application provides a display method, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes: in a first scene, displaying a first desktop, the first desktop including multiple first application icons and at least one first card; recognizing that the first scene changes to a second scene, displaying a second desktop, the second desktop including multiple second application icons and at least one second card, the multiple second application icons are different from the multiple first application icons, and / or the at least one second card is different from the at least one first card.

[0009] In this method, the content displayed on the first desktop, i.e., the application icons and cards on the desktop, is determined by the first scenario. Specifically, the multiple first application icons are applications that the user may need to browse or open in the first scenario, and the at least one first card is a card generated by an application that the user may need to browse or open in the first scenario. Presenting application and service cards that the user may use in the current scenario based on the user's actual needs in the current scenario can help the user more quickly locate the application they need to browse, saving the user time.

[0010] In addition, it is understandable that in most cases, users check their mobile phone screens for a clear purpose, and this purpose may be strongly related to factors such as time and place and the user's personal usage preferences. For example, users generally check their schedules in the morning and open games, sports and health applications in the evening. For another example, users generally open the boarding code at the bus station, open the payment code at the store, and so on. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the scene changes, the content presented on the desktop of the electronic device will also change with the change of the scene. In this way, the electronic device can dynamically present the application and service cards that the user may use in the current scene according to the scene, further improving the user experience.

[0011] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the first desktop includes a first dock area, and the method further includes: receiving a first operation acting on the first dock area; in response to the first operation, displaying a third desktop, the third desktop including a second dock area, the area of ​​the second dock area being different from the area of ​​the first dock area; when the area of ​​the second dock area is larger than the area of ​​the first dock area, the number of application icons in the second dock area is larger than the number of application icons in the first dock area; when the area of ​​the second dock area is smaller than the area of ​​the first dock area, the number of application icons in the second dock area is smaller than the number of application icons in the first dock area.

[0012] In this embodiment, the at least one first application icon can be divided into two parts, namely the at least one third application icon and the remaining application icons except the at least one third application. The at least one third application icon is displayed in the first dock area. The dock area is generally set at the bottom of the screen of the electronic device, which can accommodate a number of application icons. No matter how the user switches the screen interface, the application icons contained in the dock area on the screen interface will never change and will always be displayed on the current interface. Similarly, when the electronic device changes the scene, even if the electronic device updates the application icons in the interface, it will not update the application icons contained in the dock area. That is to say, if the scene changes from the first scene to the second scene, the electronic device will not update the application icons displayed in the first dock area in the at least one first application, but will only update the application icons displayed outside the first dock area in the at least one first application icon.

[0013] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the user can adjust the size of the dock area by, for example, pulling it up or down, and the dock area can accommodate more programs. In this way, the user can place more icons of their frequently used applications in the dock area, so that the user can directly and quickly launch more applications.

[0014] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, among the at least one first application icon on the first desktop, the number of application icons located outside the first dock area is N, and in the third desktop, the number of application icons located outside the second dock area is M; when the area of ​​the second dock area is larger than the area of ​​the first dock area, the N is greater than the M; when the area of ​​the second dock area is smaller than the area of ​​the first dock area, the N is smaller than the M.

[0015] It is understandable that for electronic devices, the size of their screens remains constant. Therefore, when the user adjusts the area of ​​the dock area, the electronic device can adaptively add or delete application icons outside the dock area to provide the user with a better visual experience. For example, when the user enlarges the first dock area to obtain the second dock area, the electronic device can reduce the application icons originally displayed in the first dock area on the first desktop and only display some of the application icons outside the second dock area on the third desktop.

[0016] Optionally, after the user adjusts the area of ​​the first dock area, the electronic device can also adaptively adjust the size of the application icons outside the dock area, or change the arrangement of the application icons, to provide the user with a better browsing experience.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the third desktop includes at least one third card, and the at least one third card is all or part of the cards in the at least first card, and the display methods of the at least one first card and the at least one third card are different.

[0018] In this embodiment, when the electronic device changes the area of ​​the first dock area, the electronic device can adaptively change the display mode of the cards in the card area in the scenario-based desktop, and the display mode includes the number, shape and arrangement of the cards to provide the user with a better browsing effect. For example, assuming that in the first desktop, the at least one first card contains 3 cards (referred to as Card 1, Card 2 and Card 3), when the user enlarges the first dock area (the enlarged dock area is the second dock area), then in the third desktop, the electronic device can adaptively reduce the area of ​​one or more cards in Card 1, Card 2 and Card 3 (at this time Card 1, Card 2 and Card 3 are the at least one third card).

[0019] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the method further includes: receiving a second operation acting on a fourth card, where the fourth card is any one of the at least one first card; and deleting the fourth card in response to the second operation.

[0020] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after receiving the second operation acting on the fourth card, the method further includes: displaying a fourth desktop, the fourth desktop including at least one fifth card, and the display mode of the at least one fifth card is different from that of the at least one first card.

[0021] In this embodiment, the electronic device can delete any one of the at least one card in response to the user's operation on the card. After deletion, the electronic device can adjust the remaining cards in the at least one card (i.e., the at least one fifth card) and change the display mode of the at least one fifth card, wherein the display mode includes the number, shape, and arrangement of the cards, to provide the user with a further browsing effect. For example, assuming that in the first desktop, the at least one first card contains 3 cards (referred to as card 4, card 5, and card 6), when the user deletes card 4 (at this time, card 4 is the fourth card), then in the fourth desktop, the electronic device can adaptively reduce the area of ​​card 5 and card 6 (at this time, card 5 and card 6 are the at least one fifth card).

[0022] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the method further includes: receiving a third operation acting on the first desktop, and generating a sixth card in response to the third operation.

[0023] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the method further includes: displaying a fifth desktop, the fifth desktop including at least one seventh card, the at least one seventh card including the at least one first card and the sixth card; the display manner of the at least one seventh card and the at least one first card is different.

[0024] In this embodiment, the electronic device can add cards (i.e., the sixth cards) to the first desktop in response to the user's operation on the first desktop. After adding the sixth card, the sixth card and the at least one card constitute the at least one seventh card. To ensure the user's browsing effect, the electronic device can adjust the display mode of the cards in the at least one seventh card, which is actually to change the display mode of the at least one card in the first desktop. The display mode includes the number, shape, and arrangement of the cards to provide the user with a further browsing effect. For example, assuming that in the first desktop, the at least one first card contains 2 cards (referred to as card 7 and card 8), when the user adds card 9 (at this time card 9 is the sixth card) to the desktop, then in the fifth desktop, the electronic device can adaptively reduce the area of ​​card 7 and card 8, and display cards 7-9 together in the fifth desktop (at this time cards 7-9 are the at least one seventh card).

[0025] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the method further includes: receiving a fourth operation acting on an eighth card, where the eighth card is any one of the at least one first card; and in response to the fourth operation, enlarging or reducing the eighth card.

[0026] In this embodiment, the electronic device can enlarge or reduce the area of ​​any one of the at least one card (i.e., the eighth card) in response to a user operation on the card. In this way, the user can enlarge the card when necessary to enable the user to more clearly browse the card information; or reduce the card to highlight the information of other more important cards.

[0027] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, after receiving the fourth operation acting on the eighth card, the method further includes: displaying a sixth desktop, the sixth desktop including the at least one first card, and the display manner of the at least one first card in the sixth desktop is different from that of the at least one first card in the first desktop.

[0028] In this embodiment, after the user zooms in or out on any one of the at least one cards (i.e., the eighth card), in order to ensure the user's browsing effect, the electronic device can adaptively adjust the display mode of other cards in the at least one first card, and the display mode includes the quantity, shape, and arrangement of the cards, to provide the user with a further browsing effect. For example, assuming that in the first desktop, the at least one first card contains two cards (referred to as card A and card B), when the user zooms in on card A (at this time, card B is the eighth card), then in the sixth desktop, the electronic device can adaptively reduce the area of ​​card B (at this time, card A and card B are the at least one first card in the six desktops), or no longer display card B (at this time, card A is the at least one first card in the six desktops).

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the identification that the first scene changes to the second scene includes: identifying that the time changes from a first moment to a second moment, the first moment corresponds to the first scene, and the second moment corresponds to the second scene; or, identifying that the location of the electronic device changes from a first location to a second location, the first location corresponds to the first scene, and the second location corresponds to the second scene; or, at a third moment, identifying that the user performs a fifth operation on the electronic device, and at a fourth moment, identifying that the user performs a sixth operation on the electronic device, the fifth operation performed by the user on the electronic device corresponds to the first scene, and the sixth operation performed by the user on the electronic device corresponds to the second scene.

[0030] In this embodiment, the basis for the electronic device to determine the scene change may include but is not limited to the following:

[0031] 1. Time changes

[0032] It is understandable that users tend to have a regular schedule during their daily routine. For example, most people wake up at 7:00 AM, leave home to catch a bus or drive to work between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM, and return home after 6:00 PM. Therefore, in this embodiment, the electronic device can update the content of the scenario-based desktop at different times based on user habits, so that users can more quickly find the applications they need to open at the current time.

[0033] 2. Change of location

[0034] The applications that users need to open are often directly related to their location. For example, users typically open a QR code for boarding at a bus station, a QR code for payment at a store, or a navigation app on a highway. Therefore, in this embodiment, the electronic device can obtain real-time location information of the current environment and, based on this location information, update the content of the scenario-based desktop at different locations, so that users can more quickly find the applications they need to open at their current location.

[0035] 3. Receive user operation

[0036] It is understandable that there may be a connection between the purposes of the user's two visits to the electronic device. For example, after using the "Maps" application to search for a nearby movie theater, the next time the user visits the electronic device, the user may want to open the "Douban" or "Meituan" application to purchase movie tickets. Therefore, in this embodiment, the electronic device can update the content of the scenario-based desktop based on the applications or cards that the user browsed the last time using the electronic device, and recommend cards or applications that meet the user's current needs.

[0037] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising: one or more processors and a memory; the memory is coupled to the one or more processors, the memory is used to store computer program code, the computer program code includes computer instructions, and the one or more processors call the computer instructions to enable the electronic device to execute the method in the first aspect or any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0038] In a third aspect, a chip system is provided, which is applied to an electronic device, and the chip system includes one or more processors, and the processors are used to call computer instructions to enable the electronic device to execute the method in the first aspect or any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0039] In a fourth aspect, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, comprising instructions, which, when executed on an electronic device, enable the electronic device to execute the method in the first aspect or any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in the second to fourth aspects of this application can refer to the beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in the first aspect, and will not be repeated here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0055] In order to enable people in this technical field to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0056] The terms "first," "second," and "third," etc. in the specification, embodiments, claims, and figures of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or precedence. In addition, the terms "including" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, including a series of steps or units. A method, system, product, or apparatus is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0057] To facilitate understanding, the following first introduces the relevant terms involved in the embodiments of this application.

[0058] (1) Dock area / dock bar

[0059] The dock area is also called the dock bar, which is the abbreviation of dockbar. It is a functional interface in the graphical user interface for starting and switching running applications.

[0060] The dock area is generally set at the bottom of the screen of the electronic device, which can accommodate several application icons. For most electronic devices, no matter how the user switches the screen interface, the size of the dock area and the applications it contains on the screen interface will never change, and will always be displayed on the current interface. Therefore, the dock area can facilitate users to quickly launch the applications corresponding to the application icons therein. Of course, for some electronic devices that can display a negative one screen, when the user switches the interface of the electronic device to the negative one screen, the dock area may not be displayed on the negative one screen.

[0061] In addition, users can long press any program icon and drag it into the dock area. In traditional electronic devices, the size of the dock area is not adjustable. Therefore, the number of application icons in the dock area is also limited, generally not exceeding 5. However, in the electronic device provided by this application, users can adjust the size of the dock area by, for example, pulling up or pulling down. The dock area can accommodate more programs, so that users can directly and quickly launch more applications. For details, please refer to the subsequent embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0062] It should be understood that "dock area" and "dock bar" are just some names used in the embodiments of this application. Their meanings have been recorded in the embodiments of this application, and their names do not constitute any limitations to this embodiment.

[0063] (2) Application / Service Card

[0064] Application / service cards (hereinafter referred to as "cards") are a new way to display content on mobile app pages. They place the content of the app page front-loaded onto the card, allowing users to directly access the app experience by directly operating the card, achieving direct service access and reducing user experience hierarchies. Cards can be placed anywhere, allowing users to customize their desktop style.

[0065] Cards are often embedded in other applications as part of their interface (you can also use atomic services to save the application to the service center, which does not require installation). They support basic interactive functions such as launching pages and sending messages. Card users and providers are not required to be resident. When adding, removing, or requesting an update for a card, the card management service will launch the card provider to obtain card information.

[0066] The card feature has three key characteristics: 1. Easy to use and visible: cards highlight service information, reducing user experience issues caused by hierarchical jumps. 2. Intelligent and selectable: cards can display data that changes throughout the day and support custom service card designs, allowing users to customize the card style. 3. Multi-device adaptability: cards can adapt to the adaptive properties of multiple devices, including phones, wristbands, and tablets.

[0067] Nowadays, electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers have become indispensable tools in people's lives and work. To meet users' needs for work, life, and entertainment, the number of applications installed on their devices continues to increase. The way these applications are presented on the electronic device interface to enhance the user experience has become a key aspect of electronic device product design.

[0068] FIG1 and FIG2 respectively show two desktop presentation forms commonly used in current electronic devices.

[0069] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of a user interface provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1(A), FIG1(A) exemplarily illustrates a home screen interface 10 for presenting an application menu on a current electronic device. As shown in FIG1(A), the home screen interface 10 includes a status bar 101, a calendar and weather widget 102, an application area 103, and a dock area 104, wherein:

[0070] The status bar 101 may include the name of the operator (eg, China Mobile), time, WI-FI icon, signal strength, and current remaining power.

[0071] The calendar weather widget 102 can be used to indicate the current time, such as date, day of the week, hour and minute information, etc., and can be used to indicate the weather type, such as cloudy to sunny, light rain, etc. It can also be used to indicate information such as temperature and can also be used to indicate location.

[0072] The application area 103 may include, for example, an icon for "memo," an icon for "recorder," an icon for "cloning a device," an icon for "calculator," an icon for "gallery," an icon for "ruler," an icon for "remote control," an icon for "contacts," and the like. It may also include icons for other applications, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Any application icon may be used to respond to a user operation, such as a touch operation, to cause the electronic device to launch the application corresponding to the icon.

[0073] The dock area 104 may include, for example, a "phone" icon, a "message" icon, a "browser" icon, and a "camera" icon, and may also include icons of other applications, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Any application icon can be used to respond to a user operation, such as a touch operation, to cause the electronic device to launch the application corresponding to the icon.

[0074] It can be understood that, although not shown, the interface provided in the embodiment of the present application and subsequent embodiments may also include a navigation bar, which may include system navigation keys such as a return button, a home screen button, and an outgoing task history button. When it is detected that the user clicks the above-mentioned return button, the electronic device may display the previous user interface of the current user interface. When it is detected that the user clicks the above-mentioned home screen button, the electronic device may display the home screen interface (such as the home screen interface 10) set by the user for the electronic device. When it is detected that the user clicks the outgoing task history button, the electronic device may display the tasks that the user has recently opened. The naming of each navigation key may also be other, for example, the above-mentioned return button may be called Back Button, the above-mentioned home screen button may be called Home button, and the above-mentioned outgoing task history button may be called Menu Button, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this. In addition, the navigation keys in the above-mentioned navigation bar are not limited to virtual buttons, and may also be implemented as physical buttons.

[0075] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of another application interface provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2(A), FIG2(A) exemplarily shows a home screen interface 20 for presenting an application menu on a current electronic device. As shown in FIG2(A), the home screen interface 20 includes a status bar 201, a calendar and weather widget 202, an application area 203, and a dock area 204, wherein:

[0076] The specific functions of the status bar 201 , the calendar weather widget 202 and the dock area 204 can be referred to the aforementioned description of (A) in FIG1 , which will not be repeated here.

[0077] It should be noted that, unlike the application area 103 shown in FIG. 1 (A), the application area 203 shown in FIG. 2 (A) may include an application folder 2031 and an application folder 2032 .

[0078] Application folder 2031 may contain, for example (Kugou) Icon 2031A, (Tik Tok) icon and (Wechat) icon, etc., and may also include icons of other applications, which is not limited in the present embodiment. In addition, the icons in the application folder 2031 can be displayed in the form of cards, but the shape of the card is fixed, such as the one shown in (A) in Figure 2 (Kugou) icon 2031A, the user can directly obtain the relevant information of the application corresponding to the icon from the current interface. Optionally, the icons in the application folder 2031 can be updated according to the user's use time of the application in the electronic device; for example, when the user uses the application "QQ" in the electronic device, the icons in the application folder 2031 will be updated. The icon of (Wechat) can be updated to (Tencent QQ) icon.

[0079] The application folder 2031 may contain icons of multiple applications such as a "memo" icon, a "recorder" icon, and a "calendar" icon. These application icons may be presented in the application folder 2031 as small icons, and the electronic device may display the application icons in the application folder 2031 as large icons in response to a touch operation on the application folder 2031, such as a click operation; after these small icons are displayed as large icons, the icon of any application may be used to respond to a user operation, such as a touch operation, so that the electronic device starts the application corresponding to the icon.

[0080] As can be seen from the above description, the dock area displayed on the same electronic device is generally set at the bottom of the electronic device's screen and can accommodate multiple applications. Regardless of how the user switches the screen interface, the size of the dock area on the screen interface and the applications it contains never change and are always displayed on the current interface.

[0081] Taking the home screen interface 10 and user interface 11 shown in FIG1 as an example, the electronic device can display the user interface 11 in response to a user operation on the home screen interface 10, such as the left swipe operation shown in FIG1(A). As shown in FIG1(B), the user interface 11 may include an application area 113 and a dock area 114. Among them:

[0082] Application area 113 may include (Tencent QQ) icon, (Wechat) icon, (Sina Weibo) icon, etc., can also include icons of other applications, which are not limited in the present embodiment. Any application icon can be used to respond to user operations, such as touch operations, so that the electronic device starts the application corresponding to the icon.

[0083] The dock area 114 includes, for example, an icon for "phone," an icon for "message," an icon for "browser," and an icon for "camera." When the user switches the interface displayed on the electronic device from the main screen interface 10 to the user interface 11, although the sizes of the application areas and the applications contained in the application areas in the two interfaces may be different, the sizes of the dock areas (i.e., dock area 104 and dock area 114) and the applications contained therein remain unchanged in the two interfaces. In other words, when the user switches the screen interface, the size of the dock area and the applications contained therein remain fixed on the screen interface, and the dock area is always displayed on the interface currently displayed on the electronic device.

[0084] In addition, the user can long press any program icon and drag it into the dock area. However, in traditional electronic devices, the size of the dock area is not adjustable. Therefore, the number of applications in the dock area is also limited. For example, the number of applications in the dock area generally cannot exceed 5. Taking the main screen interface 20 shown in Figure 2 as an example, the user can long press the icon 2033 of the application "Application Market" and drag it into the dock area 204. As shown in (B) in Figure 2, in the main screen interface 20, the dock area 204 can finally include the icon of "Phone", the icon of "SMS", the icon of "Browser", the icon of "Camera" and the icon of the application market. At this time, the number of applications that can be accommodated in the dock area 204 has been saturated. Without moving the icons in the dock area 204 out, the user cannot subsequently drag icons of other applications outside the dock area 204 into the dock area 204.

[0085] In combination with the above description, it can be seen that the user interfaces shown in Figures 1 and 2 are relatively simple in form, and the applications or cards displayed in each interface are basically unchanged. This means that when the user is not familiar with the interface content, especially when the applications in the electronic device are complicated, the user needs to waste a lot of time browsing multiple interfaces before finding the application he wants to open or browse. In addition, due to the characteristics of the dock, users usually put the applications they need to use frequently into the dock area so that they can quickly open these applications at any time. However, the number of applications that can be accommodated in the dock area in the user interfaces shown in Figures 1 and 2 is limited. When the number of frequently used applications of the user is greater than a certain number, the dock area whose size cannot be changed cannot meet the needs of the user. This undoubtedly wastes the user's time and reduces the user experience.

[0086] It is not difficult to understand that in most cases, users check their mobile phone screens for a clear purpose, and this purpose may be strongly related to factors such as time and place and the user's personal usage preferences.

Electronic device 100 can also calculate the touch location based on the detection signal from pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations applied to the same touch location but with different touch intensities can correspond to different operation instructions. For example, when a touch operation with an intensity less than a first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to view short messages is executed. When a touch operation with an intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to create a new short message is executed.

[0149] In some embodiments, cards in card area 401 can also respond to user operations and implement certain functions provided by the corresponding application without opening the corresponding application on electronic device 100. For example, card 4012 can update its image displayed in card 4012 in response to a user clicking update control 4012A. For another example, card 4012 can share the image in card 4012 with others in response to a user long-press operation.

[0150] It should be noted that the electronic device 100 can respond to the user's operation on any card in the card area 401, such as a two-finger zoom operation, to adjust the shape or size of the corresponding card. Optionally, in the case where there are multiple cards in the card area 401, when the user adjusts the shape or size of one of the cards, the electronic device 100 can simultaneously adjust the size or shape of other cards in the card area 401. In addition, the electronic device 100 can delete the cards in the card area 401 or add cards corresponding to other applications to the card area 401 in response to the user's operation. Similarly, when the number of cards in the card area 401 increases or decreases, the electronic device 100 can adjust the size or shape of the cards in the card area 401 accordingly to provide the user with a better visual effect. For details, please refer to the relevant description of the subsequent embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0151] Application area 402 may include, for example, a "memo" icon, a "recorder" icon, a "clone" icon, a "calculator" icon, a "gallery" icon, a "ruler" icon, a "remote control" icon, a "contacts" icon, and the like. It may also include icons for other applications, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Any application icon may be used to respond to a user operation, such as a touch operation, to cause the electronic device to launch the application corresponding to the icon.

[0152] The dock area 403 may include, for example, a "phone" icon, a "message" icon, a "browser" icon, and a "camera" icon. When the user switches the interface displayed on the electronic device 100 from the user interface 40 to another interface, the dock area 403 and the application icons contained therein may remain displayed on the interface currently displayed on the electronic device 100.

[0153] Unlike a traditional dock area, the size of dock area 403 is adjustable. For example, dock area 403 may include an adjustment control 403A. Electronic device 100 may increase the size of dock area 403 in response to a user's operation on adjustment control 403A, such as pulling up, and correspondingly increase the number of applications included in the dock area. For details, please refer to the relevant description of subsequent embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0154] In addition, in the present application, the electronic device 100 can automatically update the cards in the card area 401 and the icons in the application area 402 based on time changes, location changes, the context of events, and user habits. It should be understood that the update mentioned here is not limited to changes in the shape and content of the cards, but can also include updating the card corresponding to a certain application in the card area 401 to the card corresponding to another application. For details, please refer to the relevant description of the subsequent embodiments.

[0155] It is understandable that the size and position relationship of the card area 401, application area 402 and dock area 403 in the user interface 40 can also be expressed in other forms. The user interface 40 only exemplifies the scenario-based desktop provided by the embodiment of the present application and should not constitute a limitation on the embodiment of the present application.

[0156] Next, the user interface involved in opening the scene-based desktop and setting the scene-based desktop as the main screen interface of the electronic device 100 will be described.

[0157] FIG5 shows a process in which the electronic device 100 sets the desktop to the scenario-based desktop provided in this application (eg, the user interface 40 in the aforementioned description) in response to user operations when the electronic device 100 is used for the first time after leaving the factory.

[0158] As shown in Figure 5, the user interface 50 can be the interface displayed by the electronic device 100 after the user turns on the electronic device 100 for the first time after the electronic device 100 leaves the factory. The user interface 50 may include an interface thumbnail 501, an interface thumbnail 502, and an "enter new desktop" control 503. Among them, the interface thumbnail 501 is a thumbnail of the scenario desktop provided by this application, and the interface thumbnail 502 is a thumbnail of the ordinary desktop. Below the two thumbnails is a selection control, namely, a selection control 501A and a selection control 502A. Any selection control can respond to the user's click operation to enable the electronic device 100 to set the desktop displayed by its corresponding interface thumbnail as the main screen interface of the electronic device 100. For example, the electronic device 100 can respond to the user's click operation on the selection control 501A in Figure 5, and after checking the interface thumbnail 501, the electronic device 100 can respond to the user's click operation on the "Enter new desktop" control 503 to display the scenario-based desktop corresponding to the interface thumbnail 501 (such as the user interface 40 in the above description).

[0159] FIG6 shows a process in which the electronic device 100, in response to a user operation, sets the main screen interface from a normal desktop to a scenario-based desktop provided by this application (eg, the user interface 40 in the aforementioned description).

[0160] As shown in FIG6 , the user interface 60 shown in (A) of FIG6 is the home screen interface of the electronic device 100. Combined with the aforementioned descriptions of FIG1 and FIG2 , it can be seen that the user interface 60 is a conventional desktop. The specific functions of the content included in the user interface 60 can be referred to the aforementioned descriptions of the home screen interface 10 or the home screen interface 20 and will not be repeated here.

[0161] As shown in FIG6 (A), the electronic device 100 can respond to the user's operation on the user interface 60, such as the two-finger zoom operation shown in FIG6 (A), and display the user interface 61 shown in FIG6 (B). As shown in FIG6 (B), the user interface 61 may include: an interface thumbnail 611, an interface thumbnail 612, an interface thumbnail 613, an interface thumbnail 614, and a function option area 615. Among them:

[0162] Interface thumbnail 611 is a thumbnail of the scenario-based desktop provided by this application, and interface thumbnails 612-614 are thumbnails of the normal desktop. Interface thumbnails 613-614 are not fully displayed due to the screen area limitation of electronic device 100. The user can pull down to fully display interface thumbnails 613-614 on the screen.

[0163] Function option area 615 may include wallpaper option 615A, desktop card option 615B, transition effect option 615C, and desktop setting option 615D. Among them, wallpaper option 615A can be used to set the desktop wallpaper of electronic device 100; desktop card option 615B can be used to add cards corresponding to applications to the desktop of electronic device 100; transition effect option 615C can be used to set the transition effect between interfaces when the number of interfaces in the interface list of electronic device 100 is greater than 1, such as flip switching, rotation switching, etc.; desktop setting option 615D can be used to set parameters such as the icon size and desktop layout of applications on the desktop of electronic device 100.

[0164] In the user interface 60, there is a selection control below each interface thumbnail, such as the selection control 611B below the interface thumbnail 611 and the selection control 612B below the interface thumbnail 612. When a selection control is checked (i.e., the selection control is in a dark state, such as the selection control 611B), it means that the interface displayed by the interface thumbnail corresponding to the selection control will be added to the interface list of the electronic device 100. In addition, any selection control can respond to a user's click operation to cause the electronic device 100 to add or remove the user interface displayed by its corresponding interface thumbnail from the interface list of the electronic device 100. For example, the electronic device 100 can add the scenario interface displayed by the interface thumbnail 611A to the interface list of the electronic device 100 in response to the user's click operation on the selection control 611B. In addition, in the user interface 61, the upper area of ​​each interface thumbnail can contain a main interface control, such as the main interface control 611A in the interface thumbnail 611 and the main interface control 612A in the interface thumbnail 612. When a main interface control is selected (i.e., the main interface control is in a dark state, such as selecting control 612A), it means that the interface displayed by the interface thumbnail corresponding to the main interface control will be set as the main screen interface of the electronic device 100. The main interface control on any interface thumbnail can respond to a user click operation, so that the electronic device 100 sets the interface corresponding to the interface thumbnail as the main screen interface of the electronic device 100. It should be noted that in the user interface 60, the specific style (i.e., appearance) of the main interface control 611A can be distinguished from the main interface control 612A and the main interface controls in other interface thumbnails, so as to prompt the user that the interface thumbnail corresponding to the main interface control 611A is a thumbnail of the scenario-based desktop. It should be understood that the electronic device 100 can also use other methods to distinguish the thumbnails of the scenario-based desktop from the thumbnails of the ordinary desktop, and this application does not limit this.

[0165] As shown in (C) of FIG6 , the electronic device 100 can set the scenario-based interface displayed by the interface thumbnail 611A as the main screen interface of the electronic device 100 in response to the user's click operation on the main interface control 611A; at this time, as shown in (D) of FIG6 , the main interface control 611A is in a selected state, and the main interface control 612A is updated from the historical selected state to an unselected state, that is, the interface displayed by the interface thumbnail 612 is no longer set as the main screen interface of the electronic device 100. Finally, the electronic device 100 can set the scenario-based desktop corresponding to the interface thumbnail 501 (such as the user interface 40 in the aforementioned description) as the main screen interface of the electronic device 100 in response to a user operation, such as the user's click operation on the blank area of ​​the interface 61 as shown in (D) of FIG6 .

[0166] As can be seen from the above description, in the scenario-based desktop provided by this application, the size of the dock area can be adjusted. Accordingly, the number of application icons contained in the dock area can also increase as the dock area increases. The user interface shown in Figure 7 shows the process in which the electronic device 100 adjusts the size of the dock area in response to user operations and adaptively adjusts the shape of the cards in the interface as the size of the dock area changes.

[0167] As shown in (A) of Figure 7 , the user interface 70 (in some embodiments of the present application, the user interface 70 may be referred to as the first desktop) is a form of expression of the scenario-based desktop provided by the embodiments of the present application. The user interface 70 may include a card area 701, an application area 702, and a dock area 703 (in some embodiments of the present application, the dock area 703 may be referred to as the first dock area). The specific content contained in each area and the specific function of each area can be referred to the aforementioned description of the user interface 40 in Figure 4, which will not be repeated here.

[0168] The dock area 703 may include an adjustment control 703A. The electronic device 100 may increase the area of ​​the dock area 703 in response to a user operation on the adjustment control 703A, such as the pull-up operation shown in FIG7 (A) (in some embodiments of the present application, the pull-up operation may be referred to as the first operation). Accordingly, the number of application icons included in the dock area 703 may also increase. The types of application icons added may be set before the electronic device 100 is released. As shown in FIG7 (B) of the user interface 71 (in some embodiments of the present application, the user interface 71 may be referred to as the third desktop), compared to the dock area 703 shown in FIG7 (A), the dock area 713 shown in FIG7 (B) (in some embodiments of the present application, the dock area 713 may be referred to as the second dock area) is larger. After the dock area 713 is enlarged, the dock area 713 also adds a "Music" icon 7131, an "E-Book" icon 7132, an "Email" icon 7133, and a "Mobile Theme" icon 7134.

[0169] When the user pulls up the adjustment control 703A again as shown in FIG7(B), the area of ​​the dock area 713 will continue to increase, and the number of application icons contained in the dock area 713 will continue to increase. As shown in FIG7(C), compared with the dock area 713 shown in FIG7(B), the area of ​​the dock area 723 shown in FIG7(C) is larger. After the dock area 713 is enlarged to the dock area 723, the dock area 723 also adds the "Clock" icon 7235, the "Calendar" icon 7236, the "Settings" icon 7237, and the "Security Center" icon 7238.

[0170] It should be noted that in the scenario-based desktop provided by this application, when the area of ​​the dock area changes, the areas of the card area and application area in the scenario-based desktop will also change accordingly. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, when the area of ​​the dock area 723 changes, the electronic device 100 can adaptively change the number and shape of cards in the card area of ​​the scenario-based desktop, and can also adaptively add or delete application icons in the application area.

[0171] For example, compared to the dock area 703 shown in (A) of FIG7 , the area of ​​the dock area 713 shown in (B) of FIG7 has become larger, which also means that compared to the application area 702 shown in (A) of FIG7 , the area of ​​the application area 712 shown in (B) of FIG7 is smaller. Therefore, after the electronic device 100 adjusts the dock area 703 shown in (A) of FIG7 to the dock area 713 shown in (B) of FIG7 , the electronic device 100 may no longer display the "Gallery" icon, the "Ruler" icon, the "Remote Control" icon, and the "Contacts" icon in the application area. Specifically, after the electronic device 100 adjusts the dock area 703 shown in (A) of Figure 7 to the dock area 713 shown in (B) of Figure 7, the electronic device 100 can delete the "Gallery" icon, the "Ruler" icon, the "Remote Control" icon and the "Contacts" icon in the dock area 702; or, the electronic device 100 may not delete the "Gallery" icon, the "Ruler" icon, the "Remote Control" icon and the "Contacts" icon in the dock area 702, but hide them under the dock area 713, that is, cover the "Gallery" icon, the "Ruler" icon, the "Remote Control" icon and the "Contacts" icon through the dock area 713. This is not limited to this in the present application.

[0172] Since the area of ​​the dock area 703 or the dock area 701 in the user interface 71 shown in (B) of FIG. 7 and the user interface 72 shown in (C) of FIG. 7 have not yet affected the area of ​​the card area, the display mode of the cards in the card area 711 shown in (B) of FIG. 7 and the card area 721 shown in (C) of FIG. 7 has not changed compared to the card area 701 shown in (A) of FIG. 7 . However, when the user continues to pull up the adjustment control 703A as shown in (C) of FIG. 7 to increase the area of ​​the dock area 723 to a certain threshold, the area of ​​the dock area will affect the area of ​​the card area, and the electronic device 100 can adaptively change the number, shape, position and other parameters of the cards in the card area of ​​the scenario-based desktop. As shown in the user interface 73 in (D) of Figure 7, when the dock area 723 in the scene painting desktop is increased to the dock area 733 as shown in (D) of Figure 7, the card area 731 shown in (D) of Figure 7 is smaller than the card areas 701, 711 and 721 shown in (A), (B) and (C) of Figure 7, the electronic device 100 can adjust the size, shape and position of each card in the card area 721 from the style shown in (C) of Figure 7 to the style shown in (D) of Figure 7.

[0173] It can be understood that Figure 7 only exemplifies the process of the electronic device 100 adjusting the various areas of the scenario interface. The process of the electronic device 100 adjusting the various areas of the scenario interface can also be expressed in other forms, which should not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0174] In addition, the user can delete, add, and adjust the shape and size of cards in the card area. Accordingly, when the user deletes a card in the card area, adds a card corresponding to another application to the card area, or adjusts the shape and size of a card, the electronic device 100 can also adaptively adjust the shape, size, and specific position of other cards in the card area to ensure the user's browsing experience.

[0175] Figures 8-10 respectively illustrate the specific process of the electronic device 100 adaptively adjusting the shape, size and specific position of other cards in the card area after the user adjusts the shape and size of a card, deletes a card in the card area, and adds a card to the card area.

[0176] As shown in (A) of FIG8 , the card area of ​​the user interface 80 includes cards 801, 802, and 803. The electronic device can shrink card 803 in response to a user operation on card 803 (in some embodiments of the present application, card 803 may be referred to as the eighth card), such as the two-finger zoom-in operation shown in (A) of FIG8 (in some embodiments of the present application, the two-finger zoom-out operation may be referred to as the fourth operation).

[0177] The user interface 80 after card 803 is reduced can refer to (B) in Figure 8. In the user interface 81 shown in (B) in Figure 8 (in some embodiments of the present application, user interface 81 can be referred to as the sixth desktop), card 813 is the card obtained after card 803 is reduced. Because card 803 is reduced, electronic device 100 adaptively enlarges card 802 to obtain card 812 shown in (B) in Figure 8. Accordingly, the shapes of cards 802 and 803 and their positions in the card area have also changed.

[0178] In addition, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 90 shown in FIG9(A) in response to a user's long press operation on the card 4013 (in some embodiments of the present application, the card 4013 may be referred to as the fourth card) included in the interface 40 shown in FIG4. As shown in FIG9(A), the user interface 90 may include a card 901, a card 902, a card 903, and a control card 9031, wherein:

[0179] Card 901 corresponds to card 4011 in user interface 40 ; card 902 corresponds to card 4012 in user interface 40 ; card 903 corresponds to card 4013 in user interface 40 ;

[0180] Control card 9031 may include a remove control 9031A.

[0181] In response to a user operation on removal control 9031A, such as a click operation shown in FIG. 9(A) (in some embodiments of the present application, the aforementioned long press operation on card 4013 and the click operation shown in FIG. 9(A) may be collectively referred to as a second operation), electronic device 100 may delete card 903 from the dock area in user interface 90 and display user interface 91 as shown in FIG. 9(B) (in some embodiments of the present application, user interface 91 may be referred to as a fourth desktop). As shown in FIG. 9(B), user interface 91 may include cards 911 and 912 (in some embodiments of the present application, cards 911-912 may be referred to as at least one fifth card), wherein:

[0182] Card 911 corresponds to card 901 in user interface 90 ; card 912 corresponds to card 902 in user interface 40 ;

[0183] Since card 903 is deleted, electronic device 100 adaptively enlarges card 901 and card 902 and adjusts the shapes of card 802 and card 803 and their positions in the card area accordingly.

[0184] In addition, the electronic device 100 may also display the user interface 92 shown in (A) of FIG10 in response to the user's long press operation on the interface 40 shown in FIG4. As shown in (A) of FIG10, the user interface 92 may include a card 921, a card 922, a card 923, and a control card 9231, wherein:

[0185] Card 921 corresponds to card 4011 in user interface 40 ; card 922 corresponds to card 4012 in user interface 40 ; card 923 corresponds to card 4013 in user interface 40 ;

[0186] Control card 9231 can contain more card controls 9231B.

[0187] In response to a user operation on the more card control 9231B, such as the click operation shown in FIG. 10(A) (in some embodiments of the present application, the aforementioned long press operation on the card 4013 and the click operation shown in FIG. 10(A) may be collectively referred to as the third operation), the electronic device 100 may add other cards to the card area and display the user interface 93 shown in FIG. 10(B) (in some embodiments of the present application, the user interface 93 may be referred to as the fifth desktop). As shown in FIG. 10(B), the user interface 93 may include cards 931, 932, 933, and 934 (in some embodiments of the present application, the card 934 may be referred to as the sixth card), where:

[0188] Card 931 corresponds to card 921 in user interface 92; card 932 corresponds to card 922 in user interface 40; card 933 corresponds to card 932 in user interface 40; card 934 is a card newly added to the card area of ​​the electronic device, which is an application The generated card (in some embodiments of the present application, cards 921-934 may be referred to as at least one seventh card).

[0189] Since the card 934 is newly added to the card area, the electronic device 100 adaptively reduces the size of the card 923 and adjusts the shape of the card 923 and its position in the card area accordingly.

[0190] It is understood that Figures 8-10 merely illustrate the process of adjusting the scenario-based interface cards on the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 may also adjust the scenario-based interface cards in other situations and in other forms, and this application does not limit this. For example, after deleting a card, the electronic device 100 may not enlarge all remaining cards, but may enlarge some of the remaining cards, or even reduce the remaining cards to obtain some cards. Examples are not provided here.

[0191] As can be seen from the foregoing description, in this application, the electronic device 100 can automatically update the content in the scenario-based desktop based on parameters such as time changes, location changes, the context of events, and user habits. In addition, the electronic device 100 can automatically update the content in the scenario-based desktop based on changes in other parameters, which is not limited in this application. The content may include cards in the card area and icons in the application area. Next, an embodiment of the electronic device 100 updating the content in the scenario-based desktop is introduced in conjunction with Figures 11 to 13.

[0192] 1. The electronic device 100 updates the content of the scene-based desktop according to time

[0193] It is understandable that users have a regular schedule in their daily routine. For example, for most people, 7:00 a.m. is the time to get up, 8:00-9:00 a.m. is the time to leave home and take a bus or drive to the company, and go home after 6:00 p.m. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 can update the content of the scenario-based desktop at different times based on the user's habits, so that the user can find the application that needs to be opened at the current time more quickly. Please refer to Figure 11 for details.

[0194] As shown in (A) of FIG11 , user interface 01 (in some embodiments of the present application, user interface 01 may be referred to as the first desktop) is a scenario-based desktop provided by an embodiment of the present application. The content included in the desktop is recommended by electronic device 100 to the user at 8:00 a.m. when the user leaves for work based on the user's habits. User interface 01 includes a card area 011, an application area 012, and a dock area 013, where:

[0195] Card area 011 may include card 0111, card 0112, and card 0113 (in some embodiments of the present application, cards 0111-0113 may be referred to as at least one first card). Card 0111 is a schedule reminder card generated by the "Calendar" application, which is used to display the schedule information pre-set by the user; card 0112 is a route navigation card generated by the "Map" application, which is used to display information such as the route and duration planned for the user to reach the destination; card 0113 is a player card generated by the "Music" application, which displays information about the currently playing song to the user and provides the user with functions such as switching songs, playing songs, and pausing songs. Each card can respond to user operations to enable the electronic device 100 to open the application corresponding to the card and display the corresponding application page.

[0196] The application area 012 may include icons of "clock", The icon of any application can be used to respond to the user's operation, such as a touch operation, so that the electronic device 100 starts the application corresponding to the icon.

[0197] The dock area 013 may include, for example, an icon for "phone", an icon for "text message", an icon for "browser", and an icon for "camera", and may also include icons for other applications, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application (in some embodiments of the present application, all applications in the application area 012 and the dock area 013 may be referred to as at least one first application).

[0198] Any application icon can be used to respond to user operations, such as touch operations, so that the electronic device 100 launches the application corresponding to the icon. The dock area 013 can include adjustment controls. In response to the user's operation of the adjustment controls, the electronic device 100 can increase the area of ​​the dock area 013. Accordingly, the number of application icons included in the dock area 013 can also be increased. The types of application icons added can be set before the electronic device 100 is launched. For details, please refer to the relevant description of Figure 7 in the previous embodiment. In addition, the dock areas shown in subsequent embodiments can all refer to the relevant description of Figure 7 in the previous embodiment.

[0199] It is understandable that around 8:00 AM is generally the time when users leave for work. At this time, users may need to drive or take a taxi to the workplace. Before arriving at the workplace, users may also need to check their schedule for the day. In addition, after getting on the bus or rushing to the station, users may want to listen to music or communicate with others through social media. Therefore, when the user leaves for work at 8:00 AM, the electronic device 100 can display the user interface 01 to meet the user's needs at this time.

[0200] When the time reaches 8:30 in the morning, the user may be on the way to work. At this time, the electronic device 100 can update the content displayed in the card area and the application area in the scenario desktop. That is, the electronic device 100 can update the scenario desktop from the user interface 01 shown in (A) of Figure 11 to the user interface 02 shown in (B) of Figure 11 (in some embodiments of the present application, the user interface 02 can be referred to as the second desktop). As shown in (B) of Figure 11, the user interface 02 may include card areas 021-023, application areas 024-025 and dock area 026, where:

[0201] Card areas 021-023 (in some embodiments of the present application, all cards in cards 021-023 may be referred to as at least one second card) may be collectively referred to as the card area of ​​user interface 02, and application areas 024-025 may be collectively referred to as the application area of ​​user interface 02. That is, in the present application, the card area or application area of ​​the scenario-based desktop may be divided into multiple areas, and multiple card areas in the same interface may not be presented as a connected state, and multiple application areas in the same interface may not be presented as a connected state, but may be presented as a staggered arrangement as shown in user interface 02.
