Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of a Chinese patent application submitted to the National Intellectual Property Administration on December 3, 2021, with the application number 202111471122.5 and the application title "Display Method of Application Interface and Electronic Device". Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a display method of an application interface and an electronic device. Background Art

[0003] With the continuous development of electronic devices and screen technologies, more and more electronic devices with display screens are applied to people's daily lives and work. The display screens of electronic devices are getting larger, which can provide users with richer information and a better user experience.

[0004] Currently, when users use electronic devices with relatively large display screens such as foldable screen devices and tablet computers, these electronic devices usually have a split-screen function. However, users may not know how to use and when to use the split-screen function, which affects the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a display method of an application interface and an electronic device to solve the problem that the application of the split-screen function on electronic devices with relatively large display screens is not convenient enough.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a display method of an application interface. The method includes:

[0007] The electronic device displays the interface of a first application on the display screen.

[0008] The electronic device receives a first operation of a user on a target object in the interface of the first application.

[0009] In response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a second application identifier on the display screen. The second application corresponding to the second application identifier is an application recommended based on the target object.

[0010] The electronic device receives a second operation of the user on the second application identifier.

[0011] In response to the second operation, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen.

[0012] Through the solution of this application, based on the operation (such as selection or copying) of the object (such as text or picture) displayed in the current interface by the user, relevant applications can be recommended and presented to the user for selection. When the user selects a recommended application, the interfaces of the current interface and the recommended application can be triggered to be displayed simultaneously (such as split-screen display or floating window display). Since this application can judge the split-screen requirement according to the user's scenario behavior, and actively and specifically provide recommended applications and intelligent split-screen services, a more efficient task parallel experience can be achieved, improving the user experience.

[0013] In some possible implementation manners, the above-mentioned in response to the second operation, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0014] In response to the second operation, if both the first application and the second application support split-screen display, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application in a split-screen manner on the display screen.

[0015] Through the above solution, for applications that support split-screen display, after the user selects a recommended application, the electronic device can preferentially choose to display the current display interface and the interface of the recommended application in a split-screen display manner, which can improve the display effect and facilitate the user to view.

[0016] In some possible implementation manners, the above-mentioned in response to the second operation, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0017] In response to the second operation, if the first application and / or the second application does not support split-screen display, and the second application supports floating window display, the electronic device displays the interface of the second application in a floating window manner on the interface of the first application.

[0018] Through the above solution, for the case of applications that do not support split-screen display but support floating window display, after the user selects a recommended application, the electronic device can choose to display the interface of the selected application in a floating window display manner on the current display interface, which can improve the display effect and facilitate the user to view.

[0019] In some possible implementation manners, the above-mentioned in response to the second operation, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0020] In response to the second operation, if the first application and / or the second application does not support split-screen display, and the first application supports floating window display, the electronic device fully displays the interface of the second application on the display screen, and displays the interface of the first application in the form of a floating window on the interface of the second application.

[0021] Through the above solution, for the case of an application that does not support split-screen display but supports floating window display, after the user selects the recommended application, the electronic device can choose to fully display the interface of the application selected by the user and display the current display interface in the form of a floating window, which can improve the display effect and facilitate the user to view.

[0022] In some possible implementation manners, after the electronic device receives the second operation of the user on the second application identifier, the above method further includes:

[0023] In response to the second operation, if the first application and / or the second application does not support split-screen display, and neither the first application nor the second application supports floating window display, the electronic device fully displays the interface of the second application on the display screen.

[0024] Through the above solution, for the case of an application that does not support split-screen display nor floating window display, after the user selects the recommended application, the electronic device can choose to fully display the interface of the application selected by the user, which is convenient for the user to view.

[0025] The solution of the present application can provide different window form recommendations according to the user's current state and the recommended services, improving the user experience.

[0026] In some possible implementation manners, the above target object may be text or a picture, and of course, it may also be other forms of content.

[0027] In some possible implementation manners, when the target object is text, the first operation is a selection or copy operation on the target object; or, when the target object is a picture, the first operation includes an optical character recognition operation on the target object and a selection or copy operation on the text content in the optical character recognition result.

[0028] In some possible implementation manners, the above electronic device displays the interface of the first application on the display screen, including:

[0029] The electronic device fully or split-screens the interface of the first application on the display screen; or,

[0030] The electronic device split-screens the interface of the first application and the interface of the third application on the display screen.

[0031] In some possible implementations, when the electronic device displays the first sub-interface and the second sub-interface of the first application in split-screen on the display screen, the above first operation is an operation by the user on the target object in the first sub-interface;

[0032] Among them, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0033] If the second application supports split-screen display, the electronic device displays the first sub-interface and the interface of the second application in split-screen;

[0034] The electronic device displays the second sub-interface in the form of a floating ball, or hides the second sub-interface.

[0035] Through the above solution, in the split-screen display scenario, if the user selects a recommended application, the interface of the application selected by the user can replace the interface of the application in one of the split-screen windows, and the replaced application interface is displayed in the form of a floating ball, which can improve the display effect and facilitate the user to view.

[0036] In some possible implementations, when the electronic device displays the first sub-interface and the second sub-interface of the first application in split-screen on the display screen, the above first operation is an operation by the user on the target object in the first sub-interface;

[0037] Among them, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0038] If the second application does not support split-screen display but supports floating window display, the electronic device maintains split-screen display of the first sub-interface and the second sub-interface of the first application, and displays the interface of the second application in the form of a floating window on the second sub-interface.

[0039] Through the above solution, in the split-screen display scenario, if the user selects a recommended application, the interface of the application selected by the user can be displayed in the form of a floating ball on the split-screen window, which can improve the display effect and facilitate the user to view.

[0040] In some possible implementations, when the electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the third application in split-screen, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application on the display screen, including:

[0041] If the second application supports split-screen display, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application in split-screen;

[0042] The electronic device displays the interface of the third application in the form of a floating ball or hides the interface of the third application.

[0043] Through the above solution, in the scenario of split-screen display, if the user selects a recommended application, the interface of the application selected by the user can replace the application interface in one of the split-screen windows, and the replaced application interface is displayed in the form of a floating ball, which can improve the display effect and facilitate the user to view.

[0044] In some possible implementation manners, when the electronic device displays the interfaces of the first application and the third application in split screen, the above electronic device simultaneously displays the interfaces of the first application and the second application on the display screen, including:

[0045] If the second application does not support split-screen display but supports floating window display, the electronic device maintains split-screen display of the interfaces of the first application and the third application, and displays the interface of the second application in the form of a floating window on the interface of the third application.

[0046] Through the above solution, in the scenario of split-screen display, if the user selects a recommended application, the interface of the application selected by the user can be displayed in a floating ball on the split-screen window, which can improve the display effect and facilitate the user to view.

[0047] In some possible implementation manners, the above second application identifier includes at least one of the following: an icon, text, a preview image, a thumbnail. Of course, it may also include other forms of application identifiers.

[0048] In some possible implementation manners, the above second application identifier includes a drop-down control; the method further includes:

[0049] When the electronic device receives an operation of the user on the drop-down control, the electronic device displays a recommended menu bar, and the recommended menu bar includes the second application identifier and a fourth application identifier, and the fourth application corresponding to the fourth application identifier is an application recommended based on the target object;

[0050] If the electronic device receives an operation of the user on the fourth application identifier, the electronic device simultaneously displays the interfaces of the first application and the fourth application on the display screen.

[0051] Through the above solution, multiple relevant applications can be recommended based on the operation (such as selection or copying) of the user on the object (such as text or picture) displayed in the current interface, and presented to the user for selection, which is convenient for the user to view.

[0052] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for displaying an application interface, characterized by including:

[0053] When the foldable screen of the electronic device is in the folded state, the electronic device displays the interface of the first application through the outer screen of the foldable screen;

[0054] When the first application and the second application meet the preset conditions, the electronic device displays a split-screen prompt message through the outer screen, and the split-screen prompt message is used to prompt that split-screen display can be triggered by unfolding the foldable screen;

[0055] If the electronic device receives an operation from the user to unfold the foldable screen, the electronic device split-screens and displays the interface of the first application and the interface of the second application through the inner screen of the foldable screen.

[0056] Through the solution of the present application, it is possible to judge whether there is a split-screen requirement according to the user's scenario behavior, and actively and pertinently provide an intelligent split-screen service after determining that there is a split-screen requirement, and a more efficient task parallel experience can be realized.

[0057] In some possible implementation manners, the above preset conditions include any one of the following:

[0058] The number of times of switching and displaying between the first application and the second application within a preset time period is greater than or equal to a preset number of times;

[0059] When the electronic device displays the interface of the first application, it receives a new message reminder of the second application.

[0060] Through the above solution, when the foldable screen is in the folded state, it is possible to determine that there is a split-screen requirement when it is detected that two applications frequently switch within a preset time period or a new message reminder is received, and prompt the user that split-screen display can be triggered by unfolding the foldable screen, so as to actively and pertinently provide an intelligent split-screen service, and a more efficient task parallel experience can be realized.

[0061] In some possible implementation manners, the above method further includes:

[0062] When the preset conditions are met, the electronic device displays a floating window prompt message through the outer screen, and the floating window prompt message is used to prompt that a floating window can be triggered by unfolding the foldable screen;

[0063] If the electronic device receives an operation from the user to unfold the foldable screen, the electronic device fully displays the interface of the first application through the inner screen of the foldable screen, and displays the interface of the second application in the form of a floating window.

[0064] Through the solution of the present application, an intelligent split-screen service is actively and specifically provided for users. It can either display the interfaces of two applications in a split screen or display the interfaces of two applications simultaneously in the form of a floating window, which can improve the display effect and facilitate users' viewing.

[0065] In some possible implementation manners, the above method further includes:

[0066] If the electronic device receives an operation from the user to unfold the foldable screen, the electronic device switches the inner screen to the lit state and switches the outer screen to the off state.

[0067] Through the solution of the present application, when switching from full-screen display on the outer screen to split-screen display on the inner screen, the outer screen can be turned off while the inner screen is lit, saving energy consumption.

[0068] In some possible implementation manners, the above method further includes:

[0069] When the foldable screen is in the unfolded state, if the electronic device receives an operation from the user to close the foldable screen, the electronic device switches the outer screen to the lit state and switches the inner screen to the off state;

[0070] The electronic device continues to display the interface of the first application through the outer screen.

[0071] Through the solution of the present application, in the scenario where the user triggers the switch from split-screen display on the inner screen to full-screen display on the outer screen, the inner screen can be turned off while the outer screen is lit, saving energy consumption.

[0106] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0107] The term "and / or" in this document is a relationship description of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, both A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The symbol " / " in this document represents an "or" relationship between associated objects. For example, A / B represents A or B.

[0108] The terms "first" and "second" in the description and claims of this document are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order of the objects. For example, the first APP and the second APP are used to distinguish different APPs, rather than to describe the specific order of the APPs.

[0109] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Exactly, using words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0110] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" refers to two or more. For example, a plurality of processing units refers to two or more processing units; a plurality of elements refers to two or more elements.

[0111] Currently, when users use electronic devices with large displays such as foldable screen devices and tablets, these electronic devices usually have a split-screen function. However, users may not know how to use and when to use the split-screen function, which affects the user experience. In view of this, embodiments of the present application propose that it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen requirement based on the user's scenario behavior, and actively and pertinently provide intelligent split-screen services after determining that there is a split-screen requirement, which can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience. Moreover, the solution of the present application can provide different window form recommendations according to the user's current state and the recommended services, improving the user experience.

[0112] Embodiments of the present application provide a method for displaying an application interface. This method can be applied to an electronic device with a foldable screen, and can also be applied to an electronic device with a conventional display screen, that is, a display screen that does not support screen folding.

[0113] For ease of explanation, an example of an electronic device with a foldable screen will be used below to exemplarily illustrate the method for displaying an application interface provided by embodiments of the present application. First, the product form of the foldable screen will be introduced in detail to better understand the method for displaying an application interface provided by embodiments of the present application.

[0114] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the product form of an electronic device including a foldable screen provided by embodiments of the present application. The electronic device in embodiments of the present application includes a foldable screen, which can be unfolded or folded along the folding axis and can present different display areas in different states.

[0115] Figure 1 In (a) is a schematic diagram of the form of the electronic device when folded. As Figure 1 shown, the electronic device 1 can be unfolded along the folding axis (as shown by the dotted line in the figure). Figure 1 In (b) is a schematic diagram of the form of the electronic device when unfolded, Figure 1 In (c) is a schematic diagram of the form of the electronic device when fully unfolded.

[0116] It should be noted that the value range of the included angle α between the two screens of the foldable screen can be [0°, 180°]. Exemplarily, in embodiments of the present application, when the included angle α is 0°, the electronic device is in the folded state (or called the straight state). When the included angle α is 180°, the electronic device is in the unfolded state.

[0117] In the following, examples of the scenario where the foldable screen of the electronic device is in the unfolded state or the scenario where the foldable screen of the electronic device is in the folded state will be used to exemplarily illustrate the method for displaying an application interface provided by embodiments of the present application.

[0118] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the inner screen of the electronic device can be turned on to display the desktop interface or the interfaces of one or more APPs in the electronic device for the user to use. At this time, when the inner screen of the electronic device meets the preset split-screen condition during full-screen display or split-screen display (for example, the electronic device receives an operation in which the user selects a certain piece of text or picture), the electronic device can perform split-screen display on the inner screen or change the split-screen combination, and prompt the user to operate on the split-screen control, thereby triggering the foldable screen of the electronic device to perform split-screen display.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the inner screen of the electronic device can be turned on to display the desktop interface or the interfaces of one or more APPs in the electronic device for the user to use. At this time, when the inner screen of the electronic device meets the preset split-screen condition during full-screen display (for example, the electronic device detects that two APPs are frequently switched), the electronic device can display a split-screen control on the inner screen, and prompt the user to operate on the split-screen control, thereby triggering the inner screen of the electronic device to perform split-screen display.

[0120] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the outer screen of the electronic device can be turned on to display the desktop interface or the interfaces of one or more APPs in the electronic device for the user to use. When the outer screen of the electronic device meets the preset split-screen condition during the on-screen display (for example, the electronic device receives a short message, or the electronic device detects that two APPs are frequently switched), the electronic device can prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen of the electronic device to achieve split-screen display through the inner screen of the electronic device.

[0121] Among them, the preset split-screen conditions when the electronic device is in the unfolded state are different from the preset split-screen conditions when the electronic device is in the folded state. The preset split-screen conditions when the electronic device is in the unfolded state and the preset split-screen conditions when the electronic device is in the folded state will be described in detail below.

[0122] In some embodiments, the foldable screen of the electronic device can be a flexible foldable screen. The flexible foldable screen includes a folding edge made of a flexible material. Part or all of the flexible foldable screen is made of a flexible material. The two screens formed after the flexible foldable screen is folded are an integral structure of a complete screen, and the two screens can be understood as two display areas.

[0123] In some embodiments, the foldable screen of the electronic device can be a multi-screen foldable screen. The multi-screen foldable screen can include multiple (two or more) screens. These multiple screens are multiple separate display screens. These multiple screens can be sequentially connected by a folding axis. Each screen can rotate around the folding axis connected to it to achieve the folding of the multi-screen foldable screen.

[0124] It should be noted that in this article, taking the foldable screen as a flexible foldable screen as an example, the foldable screen in the embodiments of the present application is described. Moreover, in the subsequent embodiments of the present application, taking the foldable screen as a flexible foldable screen as an example, the display method of the application interface provided by the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0125] The execution subject of the display method of the application interface provided by the embodiments of the present application can be the above-mentioned electronic device, or a functional module and / or functional entity in the electronic device that can implement the display method of the application interface. Moreover, the solution of the present application can be implemented in a hardware and / or software manner, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations. Taking the electronic device as an example below, the shooting control method based on the foldable screen provided by the embodiments of the present application is exemplarily described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0126] It should be noted that the display method of the application interface provided by the embodiments of the present application can not only be applied to the foldable screen, but also to electronic devices with a conventional display screen, such as mobile phones or tablets, etc. For the sake of convenience of description, in the following, taking the display screen as a foldable screen as an example for exemplary illustration.

[0127] Among them, for the foldable screen, the embodiments of the present application support triggering the split-screen display of the display screen when the foldable screen is in the unfolded state, and can also trigger the split-screen display of the display screen when the foldable screen is in the folded state.

[0128] In the following, taking the scenario of triggering the split-screen display of the display screen when the foldable screen is in the unfolded state (the first embodiment), and triggering the split-screen display of the display screen when the foldable screen is in the folded state (the second embodiment) as examples, the display method of the application interface provided by the embodiments of the present application is exemplarily described respectively.

[0136] S102, the electronic device receives a first operation of the user on a target object in the interface of the first APP.

[0137] Optionally, the first operation described above can be a long-press operation on the target object (for example, a press operation with a pressing duration exceeding a certain duration), or can be a click operation on the target object (for example, a single click or a double click), or can also be any other possible operation, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0138] Optionally, the target object described above can be text, or can be a picture, or can also be any other object that meets actual usage requirements, which can be specifically set according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0139] Exemplarily, taking the target object as text as an example, the target object can be text representing an address, or a uniform resource locator (URL) website, or a phone number, or an Email address.

[0140] Exemplarily again, taking the target object as a picture as an example, assuming that the picture contains text, such as text representing an address, a URL website, a phone number or an Email address, when the electronic device detects an operation of the user selecting the picture, the electronic device can perform optical character recognition on the picture through optical character recognition technology to extract the text in the picture.

[0141] S103, in response to the first operation, the electronic device displays at least one APP identifier recommended based on the target object through the display screen.

[0142] Optionally, the at least one APP identifier described above can be an APP icon, or can be text describing the APP, or can also be a thumbnail of the APP interface, or a preview window of the APP interface. Of course, it can also be any other possible form of APP entry, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0143] Among them, the above at least one APP identifier can be displayed in the form of a list (such as an application list) or in the form of a window. Alternatively, the above at least one APP identifier can present a service preview card. It should be noted that in this case, the APP needs to be accessed or supported.

[0144] Optionally, all of the recommended APP identifiers are displayed in the form of a list or in the form of a window, or a part of the recommended APP identifiers are displayed in the form of a list or in the form of a window and the other part is hidden. The hidden other part can be displayed after the user triggers the expansion of the list or the window.

[0145] Optionally, at least one of the recommended APPs can be displayed in order from highest to lowest priority. Among them, the priority of the APP can be determined according to the degree of association with the user-selected object, or according to the frequency or duration of the user's use of the APP, etc.

[0146] Exemplarily, the higher the degree of association between the APP and the user-selected object, the higher the priority of the APP. For example, if the user-selected object is address information, since the APP with a higher degree of association with the address information is the navigation APP, the priority of the navigation APP is the highest.

[0147] Also exemplarily, the higher the frequency of the user's use of the APP, the higher the priority of the APP.

[0148] It can be understood that the user can select the target object on the current display interface and trigger the electronic device to recommend the APP associated with the target object, which is convenient for the user to quickly find the entry of the required APP.

[0149] S104, the electronic device receives a second operation from the user on the second APP identifier, and the second APP identifier is used to indicate the second APP.

[0150] Among them, the second APP identifier is one of the above at least one APP identifier.

[0151] Optionally, in some embodiments, for an APP that supports split-screen, it is preferentially displayed in split-screen mode.

[0152] Optionally, in some embodiments, for an APP that does not support split-screen but supports floating windows, it is preferentially opened in floating window mode.

[0153] Optionally, in some embodiments, for an APP that does not support split-screen or floating windows, it is opened in full-screen mode.

[0154] The application scenarios of split-screen display, floating window display, and full-screen display are described below through three branches respectively.

[0155] S105, the electronic device determines whether the first APP and the second APP support split - screen display.

[0156] If the electronic device determines that both the first APP and the second APP support split - screen display, it continues to execute the following step S106. If the electronic device determines that either the first APP or the second APP does not support split - screen display, it continues to execute the following step S107.

[0157] S106, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP in different regions of the display screen.

[0158] From the user's perspective, the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP can be seen simultaneously on the display screen.

[0159] Optionally, the first APP and the second APP can be the same APP or different APPs. In the case where the first APP and the second APP are the same APP, the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP can be different interfaces of the same APP.

[0160] Optionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device can trigger split - screen display in the scenario of single - task full - screen display. Among them, single - task full - screen display can refer to an interface of a single APP being displayed in the foreground.

[0161] Exemplarily, when the electronic device is in full - screen display of the interface of Application A and there is an icon of Application B for recommended split - screen display in this interface, if an operation on the icon of Application B is detected by the user, then the electronic device displays the interface of Application A and the interface of Application B in split - screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A--->A|B", changing from full - screen display of Application A to split - screen display of Application A and Application B.

[0162] Among them, A|B can represent a split - screen combination or a split - screen pair.

[0163] Optionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device can further trigger changing the split - screen combination in the scenario of single - task split - screen display. Among them, single - task split - screen display can refer to the main interface and a sub - interface of a single APP being displayed in the foreground.

[0164] Exemplarily, when the electronic device is in split - screen display of two interfaces of Application A (for example, the main interface A and the sub - interface A1, assuming there is an icon of Application B for recommended split - screen display in the sub - interface A1), if the electronic device detects an operation on the icon of Application B by the user, then the electronic device displays the sub - interface A1 and the interface of Application B in split - screen display mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|A1--->A1|B", that is, changing from the split - screen combination A|A1 to the split - screen combination A1|B.

[0165] Optionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device may further trigger a change in the split-screen combination in the scenario of multi-task split-screen display. Among them, multi-task split-screen display may mean that two sub-interfaces of an APP are displayed in the foreground, or the interfaces of two APPs are respectively displayed in the foreground.

[0166] Exemplarily, when the electronic device splits the screen to display two sub-interfaces of Application A (such as sub-interface A1 and sub-interface A2), if the electronic device detects that sub-interface A1 and Application C frequently switch in the foreground (at this time, sub-interface A2 remains displayed), then the electronic device may prompt or recommend to the user to change the split-screen combination to display the interfaces of sub-interface A1 and Application C in a split-screen display manner. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A1|A2--->A1|C", that is, changing from the split-screen combination A1|A2 to the split-screen combination A1|C.

[0167] Another exemplarily, when the electronic device splits the screen to display the interface of Application A and the interface of Application B, if the electronic device detects that Application A and Application C frequently switch in the foreground (at this time, the interface of Application B remains displayed), then the electronic device may prompt or recommend to the user to change the split-screen combination to display the interface of Application A and the interface of Application C in a split-screen display manner. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|B--->A|C", that is, changing from the split-screen combination A|B to the split-screen combination A|C.

[0168] It should be noted that the above are all exemplary listings, and there may be other scenarios for recommending split-screen display or prompting to change the split-screen combination, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0169] S107, the electronic device determines whether the first APP and the second APP support floating window display.

[0170] In the embodiments of the present application, after the electronic device determines that either the first APP or the second APP does not support split-screen display, the electronic device continues to determine whether the first APP and the second APP support floating window display.

[0171] If the electronic device determines that the first APP and / or the second APP supports floating window display, then continue to execute the following step S108. If the electronic device determines that both the first APP and the second APP do not support floating window display, then continue to execute the following step S109.

[0172] S108, the electronic device displays the interface of the second APP in a floating window manner on the interface of the first APP, or displays the interface of the first APP in a floating window manner on the interface of the second APP.

[0173] In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device can simultaneously display the interfaces of a first APP and a second APP through a foldable screen, and the interface of one APP is superimposed on the interface of the other APP in the form of a floating window. From the user's perspective, the interfaces of the first APP and the second APP can be seen simultaneously on the foldable screen.

[0174] On the one hand, when the electronic device determines that the first APP supports floating window display but the second APP does not support floating window display, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP in the form of a floating window on the interface of the second APP.

[0175] On the other hand, when the electronic device determines that the second APP supports floating window display but the first APP does not support floating window display, the electronic device displays the interface of the second APP in the form of a floating window on the interface of the first APP.

[0176] On yet another hand, when the electronic device determines that both the first APP and the second APP support floating window display, the electronic device can default to displaying the interface of the second APP in the form of a floating window on the interface of the first APP.

[0177] Optionally, the floating window can support moving its position. For example, in response to a user's drag operation on the floating window, the electronic device can correspondingly move the display position of the floating window.

[0178] Optionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device can further trigger the creation of a new floating window or the replacement of a floating window in the scenario where a floating window is displayed.

[0179] Exemplarily, when the electronic device displays interface C in the form of a floating window on the desktop, if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface C, then the electronic device can prompt or recommend to the user to open interface A recommended based on the content in the form of a floating window. This scenario can be simply represented as "Desktop [C] ---> Desktop [A][C]", that is, on the desktop, it increases from one floating window [C] to two floating windows [A][C].

[0180] Exemplarily again, when the electronic device displays interface C in the form of a floating window on interface A (the full-screen interface of application A) (A[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface C, then the electronic device can prompt or recommend to the user to open interface B recommended based on the content in the form of a floating window. This scenario can be simply represented as "A[C] ---> A[B][C]", that is, on the full-screen interface of application A, it increases from one floating window [C] to two floating windows [B][C].

[0181] Exemplarily, when the electronic device displays interface A and interface B in split screen, and displays interface C in a floating window on interface B (A|B[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface A, then the electronic device can prompt or recommend to the user to open interface D recommended based on the content in a floating window. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|B[C]--->A[D]|B[C]", that is, there can be floating windows on each of the two interfaces in split screen display.

[0182] Exemplarily again, when the electronic device displays interface A and interface B in split screen, and displays interface D in a floating window on interface A and displays interface C in a floating window on interface B (A[D]|B[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface B, then the electronic device can prompt or recommend to the user to open interface E recommended based on the content in a floating window. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A[D]|B[C]--->A[D]|B[E]", that is, the floating windows on the two interfaces in split screen display can be replaced according to requirements.

[0183] It should be noted that the above are all exemplary listings, and there may be other scenarios for recommending floating window display or prompting to replace the floating window, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0184] S109, the electronic device fully displays the second interface through the display screen.

[0185] It can be understood that in the case where the second APP does not support split screen display or floating window display, the electronic device can fully display the interface of the second APP through the foldable screen, and fully display the interface of the required APP for the user. From the user's perspective, the interface of the second APP can be seen on the foldable screen, and at this time the first APP runs in the background.

[0186] Through the solution of the present application, the electronic device can judge the user's intention based on the content selected or copied by the user. For example, when the user selects phone information, it is speculated that the user may have the intention to call the phone; for another example, when the user selects address information, it is speculated that the user may have the intention to navigate to the address. Then, the electronic device can pop up the identifier (such as an APP icon) of the recommended APP based on the content selected or copied by the user. When the user clicks on the identifier of the APP, the electronic device can display the current display interface and the interface of the APP in split screen, or display one of the current display interface and the interface of the APP in a floating window, or fully display the interface of the APP.

[0187] The following combines Figures 3 to 5 Exemplarily illustrate the possible implementation manners of the application interface display method provided in the first embodiment.

[0188] As shown in Figure 3 (a) below, the electronic device fully displays the chat interface of the communication APP on the display screen 1. When the user long-presses and selects a piece of text or a picture (taking the address information as an example) on the chat interface of the communication APP, as shown in Figure 3 (b) below, the electronic device displays a copy control on the chat interface of the communication APP. When the user clicks the copy control, as shown in Figure 3 (c) below, the electronic device displays a split-screen function recommendation window (for example, in a capsule shape) on the chat interface of the communication APP. The split-screen function recommendation window displays a navigation APP icon or text (such as "Get Route") recommended based on the address information selected by the user. Of course, other APP icons or texts related to the address information selected by the user may also be displayed in the split-screen function recommendation window, or may be partially displayed and partially hidden.

[0189] In some embodiments, when the user clicks the navigation APP icon, as shown in Figure 3 (d) below, in the case where neither the communication APP nor the navigation APP supports split-screen display, the electronic device can fully display the interface of the navigation APP, and at this time, the communication APP runs in the background.

[0190] In other embodiments, when the user clicks the navigation APP icon, as shown in Figure 3 (e) below, in the case where both the communication APP and the navigation APP support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the interfaces of the communication APP and the navigation APP in a split area (i.e., split-screen display).

[0191] Thus, through the triggering operation of the user on the display screen, split-screen display of the display screen can be achieved.

[0192] It should be noted that Figure 3 the above takes the example of triggering the display of the split-screen function recommendation window after the user copies the address information. Of course, the way to trigger the display of the split-screen function recommendation window is not limited to this. For example, the user can trigger the display of the split-screen function recommendation window by single-clicking to select the address information.

[0193] It should also be noted that Figure 3 the above takes the example of triggering split-screen display in the full-screen display scenario. The following will separately illustrate the situation of further triggering the replacement of the split-screen combination in the split-screen display scenario through Figure 4 and Figure 5 respectively.

[0194] As shown in Figure 4As shown in (a), the electronic device displays two interfaces of an APP on different areas of the display screen (i.e., split-screen display): the main interface of the communication APP is displayed in one area of the display screen (referred to as area 2), and the chat interface of the communication APP is displayed in another area of the display screen (referred to as area 3).

[0195] When the user clicks and selects a certain piece of text or a picture (here still taking the address information as an example) on the chat interface of the communication APP, as Figure 4 shown in (b), the electronic device displays a split-screen function recommendation window (for example, in the shape of a capsule) on the chat interface of the communication APP, and the split-screen function recommendation window displays a navigation APP icon or text (such as getting directions) recommended based on the address information selected by the user. As Figure 4 only the navigation APP icon is shown in (b), as Figure 4 shown in (c), other recommended APPs (such as a food recommendation APP) can be displayed after clicking the expansion button ( Figure 4 the drop-down arrow on the recommendation window shown in (b)).

[0196] When the user clicks the food recommendation APP icon, as Figure 4 shown in (d), in the case where both the communication APP and the food recommendation APP support split-screen display, the electronic device can split-screen display the chat interface of the communication APP and the interface of the food recommendation APP.

[0197] Thus, through the triggering operation of the user on the display screen, the split-screen combination of the display screen can be realized: the chat interface of the communication APP is displayed in area 2 of the display screen, and the interface of the food recommendation APP is displayed in area 3 of the display screen.

[0198] As Figure 5 shown in (a), the electronic device full-screen displays the chat interface of the communication APP through the display screen 1. When the user long-presses and selects a certain piece of text or a picture (here taking the address information as an example) on the chat interface of the communication APP, as Figure 5 shown in (b), the electronic device displays a copy control on the chat interface of the communication APP. When the user clicks the copy control, as Figure 5 shown in (c), the electronic device displays a split-screen function recommendation window on the chat interface of the communication APP, and the split-screen function recommendation window displays a preview image or thumbnail of the interface of the navigation APP recommended based on the address information selected by the user.

[0199] In some embodiments, when the user clicks the preview image or thumbnail of the interface of the navigation APP, as Figure 5As shown in (d), when both the communication APP and the navigation APP support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the interfaces of the communication APP and the navigation APP in separate regions (i.e., split-screen display).

[0200] Thus, through the triggering operation of the user on the display screen, split-screen display of the display screen can be achieved.

[0201] In some other embodiments, when the user clicks on the interface preview or thumbnail of the navigation APP, in the case where either the communication APP or the navigation APP does not support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the interface of the navigation APP full-screen, and at this time, the communication APP runs in the background.

[0202] Compare Figure 3 with Figure 5 It can be found that the two scenarios are different. Figure 3 The scenario shown is the scenario of changing from full-screen display to split-screen display. Figure 5 The scenario shown is the scenario of further changing the split-screen combination from split-screen display. In addition, the information forms in the split-screen function recommendation windows displayed are different. Figure 3 In the split-screen function recommendation window of Figure 3 there is a navigation APP icon or text recommended based on the address information selected by the user displayed.

[0203] It should be noted that Figure 3 and Figure 5 the forms of the split-screen function recommendation windows in Figure 3 can be interchanged. For example, in the scenario of full-screen display to split-screen shown in Figure 5 the split-screen function recommendation window can be displayed in the form of a preview or thumbnail. In the scenario of changing from split-screen display to replacing one of the split-screens shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 the split-screen function recommendation window can be in the form of an icon or text. Or Figure 4 the split-screen recommendation window in

[0204] can also be in the form shown in Figure 6 This application does not make any restrictions on this. That is to say, the interface display forms and the forms of the split-screen function recommendation windows in the embodiments of this application can be interchanged and combined.

[0205] When the electronic device displays the interfaces of Application A and Application B in split-screen mode, if the electronic device detects that Application A and Application C are frequently switched in the foreground (at this time, the interface of Application B remains displayed), then the electronic device can prompt or recommend to the user to change the split-screen combination to display the interfaces of Application A and Application C in split-screen mode. This scenario can be simply expressed as "A|B ---> A|C", that is, changing from the split-screen combination A|B to the split-screen combination A|C.

[0206] As Figure 6 shown in (a) below, the electronic device displays the interfaces of two APPs respectively through different regions of the display screen (i.e., split-screen display): the chat interface of the communication APP is displayed in region 2 of the display screen, and the interface of the photo album APP is displayed in region 3 of the display screen.

[0207] As Figure 6 shown in (b) below, when the user clicks and selects a certain piece of text or a picture (here, still taking the address information as an example) on the chat interface of the communication APP, as Figure 6 shown in (c) below, the electronic device displays a split-screen function recommendation window (for example, in the shape of a capsule) on the chat interface of the communication APP, and a thumbnail of the navigation APP recommended based on the address information selected by the user is displayed in the split-screen function recommendation window.

[0208] When the user clicks on the thumbnail of the navigation APP, as Figure 6 shown in (d) below, when both the communication APP and the navigation APP support split-screen display, the electronic device can display the chat interface of the communication APP and the interface of the navigation APP in split-screen mode.

[0209] Thus, through the triggering operation of the user on the display screen, the split-screen combination of the display screen can be changed.

[0210] It should be noted that Figures 3 to 6 has respectively described the scenarios where the user triggers split-screen display by selecting text. Next, in combination with Figure 7 exemplarily describe the scenario where the user triggers split-screen display by selecting a picture.

[0211] As Figure 7 shown in (a) below, the electronic device displays the interface of the photo album APP full-screen on the display screen 1, and the picture in the current interface contains text content. When the user clicks on the text recognition control A in the interface of the photo album APP, as Figure 7 shown in (b) below, the electronic device recognizes the text content in the picture, for example: contact phone number, xxxxxxx, address, xxx District, xxx Street, xxx City, xxx Province.

[0212] As Figure 7As shown in Figure (c), when the user clicks on and selects the recognized text content "xxxxxxx", the electronic device displays recommended content such as function controls or APP icons recommended based on the text content "xxxxxxx". Optionally, the recommended content may be in the form of a list. For example, the recommended content includes functions such as the call function, the messaging function, the copy function, and adding to the phone contacts, etc.

[0213] As Figure 7 shown in Figure (d), when the user clicks on and selects the call function, the electronic device displays a split screen: for example, the interface of the photo album APP is displayed in area 2 of the display screen, and the interface of the call APP is displayed in area 3 of the display screen.

[0214] For another example, as Figure 7 shown in Figure (e), when the user clicks on and selects the recognized text content "xxx District, xxx Street, xxx City, xxx Province", the electronic device displays recommended content such as function controls or APP icons recommended based on the text content "xxx District, xxx Street, xxx City, xxx Province". For example, the recommended content includes functions such as the navigation function, the food recommendation APP, the copy function, and sharing, etc.

[0215] As Figure 7 shown in Figure (f), when the user clicks on and selects the navigation function, the electronic device displays a split screen: for example, the interface of the photo album APP is displayed in area 2 of the display screen, and the interface of the navigation APP is displayed in area 3 of the display screen.

[0216] It should be noted that, in the above Figure 7 examples, the photo album APP, the call APP, and the navigation APP all support split screen display for exemplary illustration.

[0217] It should also be noted that the above examples list possible forms of the split screen function recommendation window. It can be understood that in actual implementation, the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the above split screen function recommendation window, and the split screen function recommendation window may also include any other possible forms, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0218] Optionally, in some embodiments, a do-not-disturb mechanism may be provided by setting a system switch. Exemplarily, a system-level intelligent split screen switch may be set to trigger the closing or opening of the intelligent split screen function. When the user manually closes the intelligent split screen function, the electronic device will no longer trigger the recommended split screen function according to the user's behavior.

[0219] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays the split-screen function recommendation window, if the user does not need the split-screen function, the user can trigger the electronic device to close or hide the split-screen function recommendation window through a preset operation. Accordingly, in response to the user operation, the electronic device can close or hide the split-screen function recommendation window. Exemplarily, the electronic device closes the split-screen function recommendation window in response to a sliding operation (such as swiping up) of the user on the split-screen function recommendation window.

[0220] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays the split-screen function recommendation window, if the electronic device does not receive any operation from the user within a certain duration (such as 5 seconds), the electronic device will automatically close or hide the split-screen function recommendation window.

[0221] Through the solution of the present application, it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen requirement based on the user's scenario behavior, and actively and specifically provide an intelligent split-screen service after determining that there is a split-screen requirement, so as to achieve a more efficient task parallel experience.

[0222] The following combines Figures 8 to 12 Exemplarily illustrate the scenario where the recommended application is displayed in a floating window manner.

[0223] As Figure 8 shown in (a), when the electronic device displays interface C in a floating window on the desktop, if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface C, then as Figure 8 shown in (b), the electronic device can display the identifier of the application recommended based on the content (such as getting directions). If the electronic device detects an operation of the user on the application identifier, then as Figure 8 shown in (c), two floating windows are simultaneously displayed on the desktop, displaying interface C and interface A (a certain interface of the recommended application) respectively.

[0224] Thus, "desktop [C] ---> desktop [A][C]" is realized.

[0225] As Figure 9 shown in (a), when the electronic device displays interface C in a floating window on interface A (the full-screen interface of application A) (A[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface C, then as Figure 9 shown in (b), the electronic device can display the identifier of the application recommended based on the content (such as getting directions). If the electronic device detects an operation of the user on the application identifier, then as Figure 9 shown in (c), two floating windows are simultaneously displayed on the full-screen interface of application A, displaying interface C and interface B (a certain interface of the recommended application) respectively.

[0226] Thus, “A[C] ---> A[B][C]” is achieved.

[0227] As Figure 10 shown in (a) below, the electronic device displays interface A and interface D in split screen, and displays interface C in a floating window on interface D (denoted as A|D[C]). If the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface C, then as Figure 10 shown in (b) below, the electronic device can display the identifier of an application recommended based on the content (such as getting a route). If the electronic device detects the user's operation on the identifier of the application, then as Figure 10 shown in (c) below, a floating window is displayed on interface A, where interface B (a certain interface of the recommended application) is displayed, and the floating window is kept displayed on interface D, where interface C is displayed.

[0228] Thus, “A|D[C] ---> A[B]|D[C]” is achieved.

[0229] As Figure 11 shown in (a) below, when the electronic device displays interface A and interface D in split screen, and displays interface B in a floating window on interface A and interface C in a floating window on interface D (A[B]|D[C]), if the electronic device detects that the user selects or copies the content in interface C, then as Figure 11 shown in (b) below, the electronic device can display the identifier of an application recommended based on the content (such as a calculator). If the electronic device detects the user's operation on the identifier of the application, then as Figure 11 shown in (c) below, interface C in the floating window is replaced with interface B (a certain interface of the calculator application).

[0230] Thus, “A[B]|D[C] ---> A[B]|D[E]” is achieved.

[0231] Second Embodiment

[0232] In the embodiments of the present application, when the foldable screen of the electronic device is in the unfolded state, or when the conventional display screen of the electronic device is in the lit and unlocked state, the electronic device can infer the user's usage requirements based on the user's behavior, and prompt the user that split screen display is available when inferring that the user has a split screen display requirement, thereby enhancing the user experience of using a large-screen device.

[0233] Exemplarily, when the electronic device determines that the user triggers frequent switching between two APPs, the electronic device can infer that the user has a split screen display requirement based on the user's behavior. Therefore, the electronic device can recommend the split screen function to the user, such as prompting one-key split screen, to achieve intelligent split screen.

[0234] It should be noted that the frequent switching between two APPs can be judged in the following way: within a preset duration X, the number of times the user switches between Application A and Application B is greater than or equal to a preset number Y. Here, switching from Application A to Application B counts as one switch, and switching from Application B to Application A also counts as one switch. Among them, X represents the length of the preset time period, which means the time period after the first switch between applications is detected, and Y represents the threshold of the number of switches. X and Y can be used as system service parameters, and the specific values can be configured according to actual usage requirements. For example, the default values of X and Y can be obtained through big data.

[0235] Figure 12 It is a schematic flowchart of the method for displaying an application interface provided in the second embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figure 12 As shown, the method includes the following steps S201, S202, and S203A - S205A, or the following steps S201, S202, and S203B - S205B.

[0236] S201, the electronic device switches the display of the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP through the display screen.

[0237] In some embodiments, assume that the display screen fully displays the interface of the first APP. In response to the user's trigger switching operation, the electronic device fully displays the interface of the second APP through the display screen, and the first APP goes to the background; then, in response to the user's trigger switching operation, the electronic device fully displays the interface of the first APP through the display screen, and the second APP goes to the background; and so on. This is a possible implementation of the frequent switching between two APPs.

[0238] In some embodiments, in response to the user's trigger switching operation, the electronic device may also switch between at least three APPs. Then, the two APPs with the highest switching frequency or the largest number of switches can be used as the two APPs for split - screen display.

[0239] S202, the electronic device determines whether the number of switches between the first APP and the second APP within the preset duration is greater than or equal to the preset number.

[0240] After the electronic device detects that the display screen switches to display the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP, it can start timing. Within the subsequent preset duration, it calculates the number of times the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP are switched and displayed.

[0241] It should be noted that when the electronic device determines that the number of switches between the first APP and the second APP within the preset duration is greater than or equal to the preset number, it can be determined that the preset split - screen condition is met and there is a split - screen requirement in the current scenario.

[0242] If the electronic device determines that the number of times of switching between the first APP and the second APP within a preset time period (e.g., 1 minute) is greater than or equal to a preset number of times (e.g., 3 times), then continue to execute the following steps S203A - S205A, or continue to execute the following steps S203B - S205B.

[0243] If the electronic device determines that the number of times of switching between the display of the first APP and the second APP within the preset time period is less than the preset number of times, the electronic device may not perform split - screen recommendation and continue to detect whether there is a switch between APPs for display. If the interface of different APPs for switching display is detected again, the electronic device starts timing again and records the number of times of switching between the displays of the two APPs within the subsequent preset time period.

[0244] In Method 1, when the first APP and the second APP support split - screen display, execute the following steps S203A - S205A.

[0245] S203A, the electronic device displays a split - screen opening control on the display screen.

[0246] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the display position, shape, size, etc. of the split - screen opening control. For example, the split - screen opening control may be in the shape of a capsule, which may display APP icons or text, as well as split - screen prompt information. Optionally, the split - screen opening control supports moving positions on the display screen.

[0247] Exemplarily, Figure 13 shows several possible forms of the split - screen opening control. As Figure 13 shown in (a) therein, the split - screen opening control displays an APP icon (e.g., a communication APP icon) and split - screen prompt information (e.g., open split - screen). As Figure 13 shown in (b) and (c) therein, the split - screen opening control displays two APP icons (e.g., a communication APP icon and a shopping APP icon) and split - screen prompt information (e.g., enter split - screen, or split - screen).

[0248] It should be noted that the above - mentioned examples list the possible forms of the split - screen opening control. It can be understood that in actual implementation, the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the above - mentioned split - screen opening control, and the split - screen opening control may also include any other possible forms, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations.

[0249] Optionally, in some embodiments, a do - not - disturb mechanism may be provided by setting a system switch. Exemplarily, a system - level intelligent split - screen switch may be set to trigger the closing or opening of the intelligent split - screen function. When the user manually closes the intelligent split - screen function, the electronic device will no longer trigger the recommended split - screen function according to the user's behavior.

[0250] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays the split-screen opening control, if the user does not need the split-screen function, the user can trigger the electronic device to close or hide the split-screen opening control through a preset operation. Correspondingly, in response to the user operation, the electronic device can close or hide the split-screen opening control. For example, the electronic device closes the split-screen opening control in response to the user's sliding operation on the split-screen opening control.

[0251] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays the split-screen opening control, if the electronic device does not receive any operation from the user within a certain period of time (e.g., 5 seconds), the electronic device will automatically close or hide the split-screen opening control.

[0252] S204A, the electronic device receives a third operation from the user on the split-screen opening control.

[0253] For example, the third operation is a click operation by the user on the split-screen opening control. Of course, it can also be any other operation that meets the requirements, which is not limited in this application.

[0254] S205A, in response to the third operation, the electronic device displays the interfaces of the first APP and the second APP in different regions of the display screen.

[0255] Exemplarily, when the electronic device is in the full-screen display state and detects that applications A and B are frequently switched in the foreground, when the electronic device displays the interface of application A in full screen, it can prompt or recommend the user to turn on the split-screen function to display the interfaces of application A and application B in a split-screen display manner. This scenario can be simply represented as "A--->A|B", changing from full-screen display of application A to split-screen display of application A and application B.

[0256] Exemplarily again, when the electronic device is in the full-screen display state and detects that applications A and B are frequently switched in the foreground, when the electronic device displays the interface of application B in full screen, it can prompt or recommend the user to turn on the split-screen function to display the interfaces of application A and application B in a split-screen display manner. This scenario can be simply represented as "B--->A|B", that is, changing from full-screen display of application B to split-screen display of application A and application B.

[0257] Exemplarily again, when the electronic device displays two interfaces of application A (e.g., the main interface A and the sub-interface A1) in split screen, if the electronic device detects that the sub-interface A1 and application B are frequently switched in the foreground (at this time, the sub-interface A1 remains displayed), then the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to change the split-screen combination to display the interfaces of the sub-interface A1 and application B in a split-screen display manner. This scenario can be simply represented as "A|A1--->A1|B", that is, changing from the split-screen combination A|A1 to the split-screen combination A1|B.

[0258] Exemplarily, when the electronic device displays two sub-interfaces of Application A (such as sub-interface A1 and sub-interface A2) in split-screen mode, if the electronic device detects that sub-interface A1 and Application C frequently switch to the foreground (at this time, sub-interface A2 remains displayed), then the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to change the split-screen combination to display the interfaces of sub-interface A1 and Application C in split-screen mode. This scenario can be simply represented as "A1|A2--->A1|C", that is, the split-screen combination is changed from A1|A2 to A1|C.

[0259] Exemplarily, when the electronic device displays the interface of Application A and the interface of Application B in split-screen mode, if the electronic device detects that Application A and Application C frequently switch to the foreground (at this time, the interface of Application B remains displayed), then the electronic device can prompt or recommend the user to change the split-screen combination to display the interfaces of Application A and Application C in split-screen mode. This scenario can be simply represented as "A|B--->A|C", that is, the split-screen combination is changed from A|B to A|C.

[0260] It should be noted that the above are all exemplary listings, and there may be other scenarios for recommending split-screen display or prompting to change the split-screen combination, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations.

[0261] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 14 it is described that in response to the user's trigger switching operation, the display screen 1 of the electronic device switches to display the interface of the shopping APP and the interface of the communication APP. When the electronic device determines that the number of switches between the shopping APP and the communication APP within the preset duration is greater than or equal to the preset number of times, as Figure 14 shown in (a) below, the electronic device displays a split-screen opening control 11 on the interface of the shopping APP, and this split-screen opening control 11 is used to instruct the user to trigger the opening of split-screen to achieve split-screen display of the shopping APP and the communication APP. Of course, it can also be to display a split-screen opening control on the interface of the communication APP, which is not limited here.

[0262] Further, when the user clicks the split-screen opening control 11, as Figure 14 shown in (b) below, the electronic device displays the shopping APP and the communication APP in split-screen mode. For example, it displays the shopping APP in area 2 of the display screen and the communication APP in area 3 of the display screen; of course, it can also display the communication APP in area 2 of the display screen and the shopping APP in area 3 of the display screen, which is not limited here.

[0263] Through the above method 1, when two APPs are frequently switched, it can prompt to open split-screen; after the user triggers the opening of split-screen, the interfaces of the two APPs can be displayed in split-screen mode.

[0264] Method 2: When the first APP and / or the second APP support floating window display, perform the following steps S203B - S205B.

[0265] S203B, the electronic device displays a floating window opening control on the display screen.

[0266] Among them, the above floating window opening control is similar to the above split - screen opening control. For the specific description of the floating window opening control, reference can be made to the detailed description of the split - screen opening control above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0267] S204B, the electronic device receives a fourth operation on the floating window opening control by the user.

[0268] For example, the fourth operation is a click operation by the user on the floating window opening control. Of course, it can also be any other operation that meets the requirements, which is not limited in this application.

[0269] S205B, in response to the fourth operation, the electronic device displays the interface of the second APP in a floating window manner on the interface of the first APP; or displays the interface of the first APP in a floating window manner on the interface of the second APP.

[0270] Exemplarily, combined with Figure 14 for illustration, in response to the user's trigger - switching operation, the display screen 1 of the electronic device switches to display the interfaces of the shopping APP and the communication APP. When the electronic device determines that the number of switching times between the shopping APP and the communication APP within a preset duration is greater than or equal to a preset number of times, as Figure 14 shown in (c) below, the electronic device displays a floating window opening control 12 on the interface of the shopping APP. The floating window opening control 12 is used to instruct the user to trigger the opening of the floating window to achieve displaying the interface of the communication APP in a floating window manner on the interface of the shopping APP. Of course, it can also be to display the floating window opening control on the interface of the communication APP, which is not limited here.

[0271] Further, when the user clicks on the floating window opening control 12, as Figure 14 shown in (d) below, the electronic device displays the interface of the communication APP in a floating window 13 manner on the interface of the shopping APP; of course, it can also display the interface of the shopping APP in a floating window manner on the interface of the communication APP, which is not limited here.

[0272] Through the above Method 2, when frequently switching between two APPs, it is possible to prompt to open the floating window; when the user triggers the opening of the floating window, it can be achieved that one APP interface is displayed in a floating window manner on the other APP interface among the two APP interfaces.

[0273] Figure 15 Exemplarily, application scenarios of two APPs that may frequently switch are listed.

[0274] As shown in Figure 15 (a) below, the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be the scenario of chatting while selecting, for example, the user may frequently switch between a communication APP and a shopping APP.

[0275] As shown in Figure 15 (b) below, the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be the shopping price comparison scenario, for example, the user may frequently switch between shopping APP 1 and shopping APP 2.

[0276] As shown in Figure 15 (c) below, the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be the document translation scenario, for example, the user may frequently switch between a document APP and a translation APP.

[0277] As shown in Figure 15 (d) below, the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be the shopping list alignment scenario, for example, the user may frequently switch between shopping APP 1 and a memo APP (recording the items to be purchased).

[0278] As shown in Figure 15 (e) below, the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be the information query scenario, for example, the user may frequently switch between a travel APP and a browser APP.

[0279] As shown in Figure 15 (f) below, the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be the scenario of writing an email while querying information, for example, the user may frequently switch between an email APP and a remote meeting APP.

[0280] As shown in Figure 15 (g) below, the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be the parallel entertainment scenario, for example, the user may frequently switch between a video APP and a social APP.

[0281] As shown in Figure 15 (h) below, the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be the parallel office scenario, for example, the user may frequently switch between a remote meeting APP and a document APP.

[0282] As shown in Figure 15 (i) below, the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be the reading record scenario, for example, the user may frequently switch between a reading APP and a memo APP.

[0283] As shown in Figure 15As shown in (j), the application scenarios of two frequently switched APPs can be online course learning scenarios. For example, users may frequently switch between a distance education APP and a memo APP.

[0284] It should be noted that the above examples list some common application scenarios of frequent APP switching. It can be understood that in actual implementation, the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the above-listed scenarios, and can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0285] Through the solution of the present application, it is possible to judge whether there is a split-screen requirement according to the user's scenario behavior, and actively and specifically provide an intelligent split-screen service after determining that there is a split-screen requirement, which can achieve a more efficient task parallel experience, and can provide different window form recommendations according to the user's current state and recommended services, improving the user experience.

[0286] The above first embodiment and second embodiment can be applied to both electronic devices with foldable screens and electronic devices with conventional displays. The following uses the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment to separately illustrate other possible implementation manners of the application interface display method provided by the embodiments of the present application applied to electronic devices with foldable screens.

[0287] Third Embodiment

[0288] Figure 16 is a schematic flowchart of the application interface display method provided by the third embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figure 16 As shown, the method includes the following steps S301-S305.

[0289] S301, when the foldable screen of the electronic device is in the folded state, the electronic device switches and displays the interfaces of the first APP and the second APP through the outer screen.

[0290] S302, the electronic device judges whether the switching times of the first APP and the second APP within a preset time period are greater than or equal to a preset number of times.

[0291] In some embodiments, in response to the user's trigger switching operation, the electronic device may switch between at least two APPs. Then, the two APPs with the highest switching frequency or the most switching times can be used as the two APPs for split-screen display.

[0292] If the electronic device judges that the switching times of the first APP and the second APP within a preset time period (for example, 1 minute) are greater than or equal to a preset number of times (for example, 3 times), then continue to execute the following steps S303-S305.

[0293] S303. The electronic device displays a split-screen prompt message on the outer screen, and the split-screen prompt message is used to prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger split-screen display.

[0294] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays the split-screen prompt message, if the electronic device receives the operation of the user unfolding the foldable screen within a certain period of time (for example, 5 seconds), then the electronic device automatically performs split-screen display.

[0295] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays the split-screen prompt message, if the electronic device does not receive any operation of the user within a certain period of time (for example, 5 seconds), then the electronic device will automatically close or hide the split-screen function recommendation window.

[0296] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the electronic device displays the split-screen prompt message, if the user does not need the split-screen function, then the user can trigger the electronic device to close the split-screen prompt message through a preset operation. Correspondingly, in response to the user operation, the electronic device can close or hide the split-screen prompt message. Exemplarily, the electronic device closes the split-screen prompt message in response to the user's sliding operation (such as swiping up) on the split-screen prompt message.

[0297] S304. The electronic device detects that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0298] Exemplarily, the electronic device can detect that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state through a Hall sensor provided in the foldable screen. Of course, the electronic device can also detect the state change of the foldable screen through any other possible means.

[0299] In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device can detect whether the electronic device changes from the folded state to the unfolded state within a second preset period of time after displaying the prompt message. If it is detected that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, step S305 can be executed; if it is not detected that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, the split-screen function recommendation window can be closed or hidden.

[0300] S305. The electronic device displays the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP in different regions on the inner screen.

[0301] Optionally, when the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP and the interface of the second APP in different regions on the inner screen, the outer screen can be turned off or dimmed.

[0302] Through the solution of the present application, it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen requirement according to the user's scenario behavior, and actively and pertinently provide an intelligent split-screen service after determining that there is a split-screen requirement, so as to achieve a more efficient task parallel experience.

[0303] Through the solution provided by the above third embodiment, when the outer screen of the foldable screen displays the APP interface with the screen on, if the electronic device detects that two certain APPs are frequently switched, then the electronic device can prompt the user to trigger split-screen display by unfolding the foldable screen; further, when the user unfolds the foldable screen, correspondingly, the electronic device can detect that the foldable screen is unfolded, and then the electronic device lights up the inner screen and displays the two APPs in different regions on the inner screen. In this way, it is possible to quickly trigger split-screen display when there is a split-screen requirement in the folded state.

[0304] The following will Figure 17 exemplarily illustrate the display method of the application interface provided by the above third embodiment.

[0305] As Figure 17 shown in (a) below, the foldable screen of the electronic device is in the folded state, and the electronic device displays the APP interface through the outer screen, such as a shopping APP. If the electronic device detects that the shopping APP and the communication APP are frequently switched (that is, the number of times the shopping APP and the communication APP are switched within a preset time period is greater than or equal to a preset number of times), then as Figure 17 shown in (b) below, the electronic device can display a split-screen prompt message 21 through the outer screen. The split-screen prompt message 21 displays the icons of the shopping APP and the communication APP, and the split-screen prompt message 21 is used to prompt the user that split-screen display can be triggered by unfolding the foldable screen. It should be noted that the electronic device can also display the split-screen prompt message 21 when switching to the display interface of the shopping APP.

[0306] Further, as Figure 17 shown in (c) below, when the electronic device detects that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, the electronic device performs split-screen display (that is, displays in different regions) through the inner screen. For example, the interface of the communication APP is displayed in region 2 of the inner screen, and the interface of the shopping APP is displayed in region 3 of the inner screen. Of course, the electronic device can also display the interface of the shopping APP in region 2 of the inner screen and the interface of the communication APP in region 3 of the inner screen. The embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0307] Through the above third embodiment, when the electronic device is in the folded state and detects that two APPs are frequently switched, the electronic device can determine that the current application scenario may have a split-screen requirement, and prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen to quickly trigger the split-screen display of the interfaces of the two APPs, which can improve the convenience and flexibility of the user using the foldable screen.

[0308] The above third embodiment illustrates a scenario in which the electronic device prompts the user to quickly trigger split-screen display when it determines that there is a split-screen requirement in the folded state. The following fourth embodiment illustrates another scenario in which the electronic device prompts the user to quickly trigger split-screen display when it determines that there is a split-screen requirement in the folded state.

[0309] Fourth Embodiment

[0310] Figure 18 is a schematic flowchart of a method for displaying an application interface provided by the fourth embodiment of this application. Refer to Figure 18 As shown, the method includes the following steps S401 - S404.

[0311] S401, when the foldable screen of the electronic device is in the folded state, the electronic device displays the interface of the first APP through the outer screen.

[0312] S402, when the electronic device receives a new message of the second APP, the electronic device displays a split - screen prompt message through the outer screen, and the split - screen prompt message is used to prompt the user that unfolding the foldable screen can trigger split - screen display.

[0313] For example, the second APP can be a short - message APP, or a communication APP, or other APPs that can support sending and receiving messages or pushing messages. Specifically, it can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of this application do not make limitations.

[0314] S403, the electronic device detects that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0315] Exemplarily, the electronic device can detect that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state through a Hall sensor set in the foldable screen. Of course, the electronic device can also detect the state change of the foldable screen through any other possible means.

[0316] S404, the electronic device displays the interfaces of the first APP and the second APP in regions on the inner screen.

[0317] Optionally, when the electronic device displays the interfaces of the first APP and the second APP in regions on the inner screen, the outer screen can be turned off or dimmed.

[0318] In the embodiments of this application, when the electronic device uses the outer screen to display Application A in the folded state, if the electronic device receives a new - message reminder or prompt box of Application B (such as a social software, a short message, etc.), the electronic device can prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger split - screen display of Application A and Application B.

[0319] Exemplarily, in the case where the electronic device prompts the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger split - screen display of Application A and Application B, the electronic device detects that the foldable screen is unfolded within 5 seconds, and displays A / B in split - screen on the inner screen, so that the user can view or reply to new messages without exiting the current application interface.

[0320] Exemplarily, when the electronic device prompts the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger split-screen display of Application A and Application B, if the electronic device does not receive a user operation within 5 seconds, the electronic device triggers the disappearance of the new message prompt box. In this case, if the user unfolds the foldable screen, the inner screen will not display in split-screen mode. Optionally, the inner screen can display Application A in full screen.

[0321] Exemplarily, when the electronic device prompts the user to unfold the foldable screen to trigger split-screen display of Application A and Application B, if the electronic device receives an upward sliding operation by the user on the new message prompt box, the electronic device triggers the disappearance of the new message prompt box.

[0322] Optionally, the split-screen prompt information can be displayed in the new message prompt box or displayed independently of the new message prompt box, which can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0323] Through the solution provided in the above-mentioned fourth embodiment, when the outer screen of the foldable screen lights up to display the APP interface, if the electronic device receives a new message, the electronic device can prompt the user to trigger split-screen display by unfolding the foldable screen; further, when the user unfolds the foldable screen, correspondingly, the electronic device can detect that the foldable screen is unfolded, and then the electronic device lights up the inner screen and displays the currently displayed APP and the new message interface in sub-regions on the inner screen. In this way, it is possible to quickly trigger split-screen display when there is a split-screen requirement in the folded state.

[0324] The following combines Figure 19 Exemplarily illustrate the display method of the application interface provided in the above-mentioned third embodiment.

[0325] As Figure 19 shown in (a) below, the foldable screen of the electronic device is in a folded state, and the electronic device displays the APP interface 1, such as the browser APP, through the outer screen. If the electronic device receives a new message corresponding to the communication APP, then as Figure 19 shown in (b) below, the electronic device can display the split-screen prompt information 22 through the outer screen. The split-screen prompt information 22 displays the icon of the communication APP and prompts that a new message has been received. The split-screen prompt information 22 can be used to prompt the user that split-screen display can be triggered by unfolding the foldable screen.

[0326] Further, as Figure 19As shown in (c), when the electronic device detects that the foldable screen changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, the electronic device performs split-screen display on the inner screen (i.e., display in separate regions). For example, the interface 1 of the browser APP is displayed in region 2 of the inner screen, and the interface 2 of the communication APP (such as the page where the newly received message is located) is displayed in region 3 of the inner screen. Of course, the electronic device can also display the interface of the communication APP in region 2 of the inner screen and display the interface of the browser APP in region 3 of the inner screen. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0327] Through the solution of the present application, it is possible to determine whether there is a split-screen requirement based on the user's scenario behavior, and actively and specifically provide an intelligent split-screen service after determining that there is a split-screen requirement, so as to achieve a more efficient task parallel experience.

[0328] Through the above fourth embodiment, when an electronic device in the folded state is displaying a certain APP, if the electronic device receives a new message, then the electronic device can determine that the user may have a need to keep the current interface and view the new message, that is, there is a split-screen requirement in the current application scenario. In this case, the electronic device can prompt the user to unfold the foldable screen to quickly trigger split-screen display, which can improve the convenience and flexibility of the user using the foldable screen.

[0329] Figure 20 FIG. shows a schematic diagram of the system framework to which the display method of the application interface provided by the embodiments of the present application is applied. The system framework may include a graphical user interface (GUI) layer, an APP layer, an interface layer, and a framework (FWK) layer.

[0330] Among them, the perception application module in the APP layer sends perception information (such as information used to characterize frequent switching between two applications, or information used to select text or pictures on the current interface) to the calculation engine application module. Then, the calculation engine application module sends the perception information to the recommendation application module, and then the recommendation application module reports the perception information to the (user experience, UX) interface recommendation icon module in the GUI layer. The UX interface recommendation icon module displays the APP identifier recommended based on the perception information or displays a split-screen opening control.

[0331] Further, when the UX interface recommendation icon module detects the user's operation on the APP logo or the split-screen opening control, the UX interface recommendation icon module sends split-screen indication information to the recommended application module in the APP layer. Then, the recommended application module sends the split-screen indication information to the user interface (UI) software development kit (SDK) module in the interface layer. Then, the UI SDK module calls the corresponding interface program to send the split-screen indication information to the multi-window startup management module in the FWK layer. Then, the multi-window startup management module triggers the multi-window split-screen pair management module according to the split-screen indication information to implement the split-screen display function.

[0332] Among them, the multi-window animation effect module in the FWK layer can provide the multi-window animation effect function for the multi-window split-screen pair management module. Moreover, the multi-window split-screen pair management module can call the services of the activity manager service (AMS) module and the window manager service (WMS) module to implement the split-screen display function.

[0333] It can be understood that the system architecture shown in the embodiments of the present application Figure 20 does not constitute a specific limitation. In other embodiments of the present application, the system architecture may include more or fewer modules than shown in the figure, or combine certain modules, or split certain modules, or have different module arrangements.

[0334] It should also be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, "greater than" can be replaced by "greater than or equal to", "less than or equal to" can be replaced by "less than", or "greater than or equal to" can be replaced by "greater than", and "less than" can be replaced by "less than or equal to".

[0335] The various embodiments described herein may be independent solutions or may be combined according to internal logic, and all these solutions fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0336] It can be understood that the methods and operations implemented by the electronic device in the above method embodiments can also be implemented by components (such as chips or circuits) applicable to the electronic device.
