Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a kind of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary, and can be used for applications that identify the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as a pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured on the mobile phone, such as a fingerprint sensor, a pressure sensor, an iris sensor, a molecular sensor, a gyroscope, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, an infrared sensor, etc., they will not be elaborated here.

[0058] The display unit 106 is used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user. The display unit 106 may include a display panel 1061, and the display panel 1061 can be configured in the form of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), etc.

[0059] The user input unit 107 can be used to receive input digital or character information, and generate key signal inputs related to the user settings and function controls of the mobile terminal. Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect touch operations of the user on or near it (such as operations of the user using a finger, a stylus, or any suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071), and control corresponding connection devices according to a preset program. The touch panel 1071 can include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the touch orientation of the user, detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into contact coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 110, and can receive and execute commands sent by the processor 110. In addition, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented in multiple types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may further include other input devices 1072. Optionally, the other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc., and specific details are not limited here.

[0060] Optionally, the touch panel 1071 may cover the display panel 1061. After the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the operation to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. Subsequently, the processor 110 provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 according to the type of touch event. Although in Figure 1 the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are implemented as two independent components to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 can be integrated to realize the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, and specific details are not limited here.

[0061] The interface unit 108 serves as an interface through which at least one external device can be connected to the mobile terminal 100.

The interface unit 108 can be used to receive inputs from the external device (such as data information, power, etc.) and transmit the received inputs to one or more components within the mobile terminal 100 or can be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal 100 and the external device.

[0062] The memory 109 can be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 109 mainly includes a program storage area and a data storage area. Optionally, the program storage area can store an operating system, application programs required for at least one function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.); the data storage area can store data created according to the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, phone book, etc.). In addition, the memory 109 can include high-speed random access memory, and can also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage devices.

[0063] The processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal, connecting various parts of the entire mobile terminal through various interfaces and circuits. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 109, and calling data stored in the memory 109, it executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data, thereby monitoring the mobile terminal as a whole. The processor 110 can include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 110 can integrate an application processor and a modulation and demodulation processor. Optionally, the application processor mainly processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs, etc., and the modulation and demodulation processor mainly processes wireless communication. It can be understood that the above modulation and demodulation processor may not be integrated into the processor 110.

[0064] The mobile terminal 100 can also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) for powering each component. Preferably, the power supply 111 can be logically connected to the processor 110 through a power management system, so as to realize functions such as management of charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system.

[0065] Although Figure 1 not shown, the mobile terminal 100 can also include a Bluetooth module, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0066] To facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the communication network system on which the mobile terminal of the present application is based will be described below.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is an architecture diagram of a communication network system provided by an embodiment of the present application. This communication network system is an LTE system of the general mobile communication technology. This LTE system includes a UE (User Equipment) 201, an E-UTRAN (Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) 202, an EPC (Evolved Packet Core) 203, and the IP service 204 of the operator that are communicatively connected in sequence.

[0068] Optionally, the UE 201 may be the above-mentioned terminal 100, which will not be elaborated here.

[0069] The E-UTRAN 202 includes an eNodeB 2021 and other eNodeBs 2022, etc. Optionally, the eNodeB 2021 may be connected to other eNodeBs 2022 through a backhaul (e.g., the X2 interface), the eNodeB 2021 is connected to the EPC 203, and the eNodeB 2021 may provide access for the UE 201 to the EPC 203.

[0070] The EPC 203 may include an MME (Mobility Management Entity) 2031, an HSS (Home Subscriber Server) 2032, other MMEs 2033, an SGW (Serving GateWay) 2034, a PGW (PDN Gate Way) 2035, a PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function) 2036, etc. Optionally, the MME 2031 is a control node that processes the signaling between the UE 201 and the EPC 203 and provides bearer and connection management. The HSS 2032 is used to provide some registers to manage functions such as a home location register (not shown in the figure) and stores some user-specific information such as service characteristics and data rates. All user data can be sent through the SGW 2034. The PGW 2035 may provide IP address allocation for the UE 201 and other functions. The PCRF 2036 is a policy and charging control policy decision point for service data flows and IP bearer resources, and it selects and provides available policy and charging control decisions for a policy and charging enforcement function unit (not shown in the figure).

[0071] The IP service 204 may include the Internet, an intranet, an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), or other IP services, etc.

[0072] Although the above has been introduced by taking the LTE system as an example, those skilled in the art should be aware that the present application is not only applicable to the LTE system, but also applicable to other wireless communication systems, such as GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, 5G, and future new network systems (such as 6G), etc., which are not limited here.

[0073] Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication network system, various embodiments of the present application are proposed.

[0074] In existing up-and-down double-foldable mobile phones, due to the small size of the outer screen, users cannot conveniently use conventional alphabetical indexes or input application names to search for applications, etc., which significantly reduces the efficiency of finding applications. The small-sized outer screen limits the usability of traditional navigation and search functions, making it difficult for users to quickly find and launch the required application programs, thus affecting the overall operational convenience and user experience of the device.

[0075] Figure 3 Schematic flow of the display method provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 , as Figure 3 shown, this processing method is applied to a terminal device, and an application page is displayed on the outer display screen of the terminal device. In a feasible implementation manner, the method includes the steps:

[0076] S10. In response to a first operation, an application index menu is displayed on the outer display screen.

[0077] Optionally, the outer display screen may refer to another display area on the terminal device other than the main screen, which is usually used to quickly view information (such as notifications, time, and weather) or perform specific operations (such as controlling music playback, viewing messages) without unlocking the device or entering the main interface. The outer display screen can generally be located on the back, side of the terminal device, or be part of a dual-screen or multi-screen device, thereby providing users with a convenient interaction method and enhanced functional experience.

[0078] The first operation may refer to an operation of retrieving the application index menu from the outer display screen for display. The first operation may include clicking, double-clicking, or long-pressing a specific area of the outer display screen, such as the status bar or shortcut icon; or swiping inwards from the edge of the screen to bring up the application index menu; or using a voice command such as "open the application menu" to activate the menu display; or triggering the menu display through physical buttons of the device, such as short-pressing or long-pressing the power button, volume button, etc. In the embodiments of the present application, for the convenience of user operation, the user can perform the first operation on the outer display screen to display the application index menu on the outer display screen.

[0079] The application index menu may refer to an interface or menu for centrally managing and displaying all application programs on the terminal device. Users can quickly find, launch, and manage various applications through it in alphabetical order, frequency of use, or classification, etc. The application index menu provides a convenient entry for users, allowing users to find applications one by one without having to search through multiple pages or folders, thus improving operation efficiency and user experience.

[0080] Optionally, when the application index menu is displayed on the outer display screen, it can be displayed in a partial area or the entire area of the outer display screen.

[0081] S20. In response to the second operation, add the application element selected from the application index menu to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device.

[0082] Optionally, the second operation may refer to the user's selection operation on the application index menu. For example, the user can select an application icon by clicking or long-pressing it and confirm adding the application to the desktop.

[0083] Adding the application element selected from the application index menu to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device may mean that the user selects an application icon from the application index menu by clicking, long-pressing, or dragging, etc., and places it on the home screen of the terminal device (i.e., the desktop of the internal display screen), so that the application is visible and directly launchable on the desktop. Thus, the user can customize the desktop layout according to personal needs, quickly access frequently used applications, and improve the convenience and efficiency of use.

[0084] For example, Figure 4 is the interface schematic diagram of the external display screen provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 , such as Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 In a, it shows the interface schematic diagram of the external display screen in the normal use state. In the interface in the normal use state, there is a control for calling the application index menu. This control can be an application icon on the interface or a certain area displayed on the interface. After this control responds to the user's pressing operation (the first operation), the application index menu can be displayed on the interface (as shown in b in Figure 4 ). Among them, the application index menu displays application search entrances with different index contents. This entrance can be displayed in the form of the first letter name of the application, the short name of the application, or the image of the application type. There can be multiple application search entrances, and they are displayed in the form of an array block.

[0085] After the user clicks on the application search entrance to be selected (one can be clicked for a rough filter, or multiple can be clicked for a fine filter or a large-scale filter), by clicking the "Filter" control on the application index menu, the interface for managing applications can be displayed on the external display screen (as shown in c in Figure 4 ). The interface for managing applications displays application icons corresponding to the application search entrances. By responding to the user's selection operation on the application icons, the application element selected from the application index menu can be added to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device (the second operation).

[0086] After the user clicks on the application search entrance to be selected, if re-filtering is needed, the "Cancel" control on the application index menu can be clicked, so that the filtering of the application search entrance can be performed again.

[0087] Figure 5 Flow schematic of the display method provided by the embodiments of this application Figure 2 , as Figure 5 shown, a preset interface is displayed on the external display screen. The preset interface includes a first control. In a feasible implementation manner, S10 includes:

[0088] S11. In response to the user's operation on the first control, display an application page on the external display screen;

[0089] S12. In response to the first operation, display an application index menu on the external display screen.

[0090] Optionally, the preset interface may refer to a specific interface that is preset and displayed on the external display screen. This interface may contain some common controls and information, aiming to provide users with functions for quick access and operation, so that users can quickly obtain the required information or perform common operations without entering the main interface or other complex menus of the device.

[0091] The first control may refer to a specific button, icon, or other type of interface element in the preset interface of the external display screen with which the user can interact to trigger a specific function or operation. For example, the first control may be an icon that displays a notification summary, a button that controls music playback, or a shortcut that quickly starts a certain application. By interacting with the first control, the user can open the application page without opening the main screen of the device, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of use.

[0092] Optionally, the application page includes a blank area between the application elements, and S10 includes:

[0093] In response to the first operation on the blank area, display an application index menu on the external display screen.

[0094] Optionally, the first control may also be located in the blank area of the preset interface. For example, as Figure 4 shown in a of, the user can long-press the blank area between the icons to display an application index menu on the external display screen.

[0095] Optionally, as Figure 4 shown in d of, the user can long-press the blank area on the preset interface to display an application page on the external display screen.

[0096] The application page may refer to a selection page of application elements displayed on the external display screen after the user interacts with the first control. This page may include icons of multiple application elements, such as a weather application, a music application, a calendar application, etc. Among them, a control for opening the application index menu is set on the application page.

[0097] For example, as Figure 4 shown in d of , the interface diagram of the preset interface is provided with a first control. After the user clicks the first control, an application page is displayed on the external display screen, that is, as Figure 4 shown in a of .

[0098] Optionally, when there are many applications in the application page, the application index menu can also be opened by clicking the control set on the application page for opening the application index menu.

[0099] Optionally, the control for opening the application index menu can be set at a fixed position on the application page or always remain at a fixed position on the external display screen.

[0100] Thus, the user can quickly access the required application content and functions on the external display screen through simple interactions. That is, when the user operates the first control (such as clicking or long-pressing), the external display screen will display a specific application page, enabling the user to directly view key information or perform common operations; while when the user performs the first operation, the external display screen will display the application index menu, allowing the user to browse and select all application programs, further enhancing the convenience and flexibility of device use.

[0101] Figure 6 is a schematic flowchart of the display method provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 3 , as Figure 6 shown, the application elements in the application page are in a selectable state; after S11, in a feasible implementation manner, the method further includes:

[0102] S13. In response to a third operation, add the application element selected from the application page to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device.

[0103] Optionally, the third operation may be an operation in which the user directly filters out the corresponding application elements through the application page, so as to add the selected application elements to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device. Thus, through the third operation, the terminal device can identify the application elements selected in the application page and add these elements to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device, enabling the user to efficiently customize the desktop layout, quickly access the required applications and functions, and enhance the convenience and personalized experience of use.

[0104] Optionally, the application elements in the selectable state include a second control, and S13 includes:

[0105] In response to the user's operation on the second control, determine the application element selected in the application page;

[0106] Add the application element selected in the application page to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device.

[0107] Optionally, the second control may refer to another specific button, icon, or other type of interface element in the external display screen or application page that the user can interact with to trigger a specific function or operation. After the second control is triggered, the selected application element can be determined.

[0108] For example, as shown in a of Figure 4 , a selection control is set for the icon of each application element. The user can click on the selection control to make the corresponding application element in a selected state. Thus, after determining the selected application element, the application element selected from the application page can be added to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device.

[0109] An application element in a selectable state may refer to an application icon, control, or other interface component in the user interface that can be selected and further operated through a specific operation (such as clicking, long-pressing, or dragging). These elements usually provide some visual feedback (such as highlighting, thickening the border, or changing the color) to prompt the user that they are currently selectable and operable.

[0110] Optionally, the user can combine the application elements selected from the application page and the method of filtering application elements from the application index menu, so that the operation process of adding application elements from the external display screen to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device is more simplified and more in line with the user's personal needs and usage habits, thereby significantly improving the convenience and flexibility of the user experience.

[0111] Figure 7 Schematic flow of the display method provided by the embodiments of this application Figure 4 , as Figure 7 shown, in a feasible implementation manner, S20 includes:

[0112] S21. In response to a fourth operation, display the application element selected by the user from the application index menu on the application page;

[0113] S22. In response to the user's operation on the application page, add the application element selected from the application page to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device.

[0114] Optionally, the fourth operation may refer to a specific interaction operation performed by the user in the application index menu for the operation of displaying the selected application element on the application page. That is, the process of the user filtering application elements in the application index menu. After filtering out the application elements, the filtered application elements can be displayed on the application page. For example, as shown in c of Figure 4 , after filtering, the application elements can be displayed on the application page.

[0115] Displaying the application element selected by the user from the application index menu on the application page may refer to the process of adding the application elements obtained by further filtering the filtered applications to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device.

[0116] Thus, the user first selects an application element from the application index menu through a fourth operation (such as clicking or long-pressing) and displays it on the application page; then, the user can select the application element from the application page through a further operation (such as clicking or long-pressing again) and add it to the desktop of the internal display screen of the terminal device, thereby achieving quick access and personalized customization. Among them, in the embodiments of the present application, the application index menu includes a third control, and the third control has an indexing relationship with at least one application element;

[0117] S21 includes:

[0118] In response to the user's selection operation on the third control, display the application elements having an indexing relationship with the selected third control on the application page.

[0119] Optionally, the third control can be used to provide a convenient way to display and manage the relationships between applications. For example, in an index menu containing multiple social media applications, the third control may be a "social aggregation" button. After clicking this button, the terminal device can display an application page that summarizes all social application notifications and activities. Thus, not only can the operation process of the user be simplified, but also the efficiency of information acquisition can be improved. In addition, the third control can also be personalized according to the user's usage habits and preferences. For example, for frequently used office applications, the third control can be a "work center" button, and after clicking, a comprehensive application page including mail, calendar, and task management will be displayed.

[0120] Optionally, the third control can prompt the user's current state (such as whether it is selected) through visual feedback such as color change and animation effects. Among them, the user can operate the third control in various ways, such as clicking, long-pressing, or using specific gestures (such as swiping, double-clicking) to trigger its function, so as to achieve a more flexible and convenient interaction experience.

[0121] The indexing relationship can refer to the relationship established between different application elements in the application index menu based on a certain logic or functional association. This relationship can be based on various factors such as application type, functional similarity, usage frequency, and user preferences. For example, in an index menu integrating multiple entertainment applications, the music player, video player, and game applications can form an indexing relationship because they all belong to the entertainment category; while in an office application set, the mail client, calendar application, and document editor form an indexing relationship because they all belong to office tools.

[0122] By grouping and associating application elements with similar functions or uses, users can find the required applications more quickly. For example, assume the user wishes to view the latest social updates. They can directly enter an application page that aggregates all social application notifications by clicking on the third control related to social applications, without having to open each social application one by one.

[0123] Optionally, the indexing relationship can also be dynamically adjusted according to the user's usage habits and preferences. For example, the terminal device can automatically generate a "frequently used applications" index based on the applications the user has recently used frequently, automatically categorizing these application elements together for the user to access quickly. At the same time, the indexing relationship can also be customized manually. For example, the user can create a "travel assistant" index by combining application elements such as map navigation, hotel reservation, and flight query, so that they can be quickly invoked when traveling.

[0124] Optionally, the design of the indexing relationship needs to consider multiple factors, including but not limited to the functional characteristics of the application, the user's usage scenarios, and personal preferences. By reasonably establishing and maintaining these relationships, the user's operation experience can be significantly improved, making the application index menu not just a simple list of applications, but a highly integrated and intelligent tool to help users manage and use various application programs more efficiently.

[0125] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the character controls selected by the user and those not selected by the user have different display styles in the application index menu.

[0126] Optionally, in the application index menu, there are significant differences in the display styles between the character controls selected by the user and those not selected by the user to provide clear visual feedback and help users identify the currently selected elements. Such differentiated display styles can include various forms such as color changes, border thickening, shadow effects, and animation prompts. For example, when a character control is selected, its background color may change from gray to blue, or a bright border may be added for highlighting; at the same time, the unselected controls remain in the default color and style, ensuring that users can quickly distinguish the selected and unselected states.

[0127] Optionally, to further enhance the user experience, the terminal device can also emphasize the user's operation results through animation effects. For example, when the user clicks or long-presses a certain character control, the control can produce a slight scaling or flashing effect to confirm that the user's operation has been received. The unselected controls will not have any dynamic changes and remain static. Thus, not only can the aesthetics of the interface be improved, but also the user's understanding and sense of control over the current operation can be enhanced.

[0128] Figure 8 Flow schematic of the display method provided by the embodiments of the present application Figure 5 , such as Figure 8 shown, the method includes: after the upper and lower double-fold mobile phone switches to the external screen display state, the user can enter the application management interface by clicking the management desktop application button. Then, long press on the blank area of the page, and the screen will display an alphabet containing the first letters of all applications. The user can click on a specific letter (such as "A"), and all applications starting with that letter will be displayed. If needed, the user can also select multiple letters (such as "A" and "B") and click the filtering button to display all applications corresponding to these letters. Finally, the user selects the required application from the filtered application list and adds it to the desktop. Thus, not only is the process of finding and managing applications simplified, but it is also particularly suitable for the relatively small-sized external screen, significantly improving the user's operation efficiency and experience.
