[0002] To enhance user experience and visual appeal, most electronic devices nowadays strive for a larger screen-to-body ratio, which is the ratio of the screen area to the front panel area. To ensure a higher screen-to-body ratio while avoiding the placement of cameras and sensors on the front panel, an increasing number of electronic devices embed these devices within the screen itself. However, this approach can lead to the cameras and sensors obstructing the view during use. Summary of the Invention

[0080] Figure 10 This is a block diagram illustrating an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0081] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0082] The electronic devices involved in this disclosure, also referred to as terminals, terminal devices, user equipment (UE), mobile stations (MS), mobile terminals (MT), etc., are devices that provide voice and / or data connectivity to users. For example, electronic devices can be handheld devices with wireless connectivity, in-vehicle devices, etc. Currently, examples of electronic devices include: smartphones (Mobile Phones), pocket personal computers (PPCs), handheld computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, tablets, wearable devices, or in-vehicle devices. Furthermore, when it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the electronic device can also be an in-vehicle device. It should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the specific technology or device form used in the terminal.

[0083] To enhance user experience and visual appeal, most electronic devices nowadays strive for a larger screen-to-body ratio, which is the ratio of the display screen area to the front panel area. To ensure a higher screen-to-body ratio while avoiding the placement of cameras and sensors on the front panel, an increasing number of electronic devices are embedding these devices within the display screen itself. However, this approach can lead to the cameras and sensors obstructing the view during use.

[0084] For electronic devices equipped with large cameras or sensors, the obstruction of the display screen is more severe. For example... Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a display screen in related technologies, such as... Figure 1 As shown, for electronic devices with a display screen on one side of the rear camera, such as foldable smartphones, it includes an inner screen for folding and an outer screen located on the same side as the rear camera. The outer screen includes a display area for displaying image information, i.e. Figure 1The display area consists of a central 10-inch area and a non-display area used to avoid the rear camera. The non-display area is embedded in the display area, resulting in an irregular shape for the display area. For applications, the display area used to display image information is a complete rectangular area, i.e., the entire outer screen. However, for users, the rear camera is embedded in the outer screen. If the application still uses the display area as the full screen, the rear camera will obstruct the application's interface.

[0085] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a window display method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium.

[0086] This embodiment of the disclosure divides the display screen into a first window area, so that the first window area avoids the non-real areas on the display screen, and the first window area can fully display the application window, thereby avoiding the non-display area from obscuring the application window.

[0087] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a window display method according to an exemplary embodiment. For example... Figure 2 As shown, this window display method is used in electronic devices and includes the following steps.

[0088] In step S11, in response to the electronic device detecting that an application window needs to be displayed on the display screen, a first window area is determined in the display area of ​​the display screen, wherein the display screen includes a display area and a non-display area embedded in the display area for hardware avoidance.

[0089] like Figure 1 As shown, the non-display area is embedded within the display area. The non-display area is used to avoid obstructing hardware such as cameras, sensors, and speakers. When no applications are running, the entire display area is used to display current image information, such as the screensaver and system desktop.

[0090] In step S12, the application window is adapted to be displayed in the first window area. The height of the application window adapted to be displayed in the first window area is the same as the height of the display screen, and the width of the application window adapted to be displayed in the first window area is the difference between the width of the display screen and the width of the non-display area. Alternatively, the width of the application window adapted to be displayed in the first window area is the same as the width of the display screen, and the height of the application window adapted to be displayed in the first window area is the difference between the height of the display screen and the height of the non-display area.

[0091] By adapting the application window to the first window area, the application window can be fully displayed, avoiding obstruction from non-display areas.

[0092] Figure 3This is a schematic diagram illustrating a window display according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown in the figure, area 20 is the first window area, and area 20 is the non-display area.

[0093] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining a first window region in the display area of ​​a screen according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, determining the first window area in the display area of ​​the screen includes the following steps.

[0094] In step S21, the height of the display screen is determined as the height of the first window area, the difference between the width of the display screen and the width of the non-display area is taken as the width of the first window area, and the ratio between the height of the first window area and the width of the first window area is determined as the first aspect ratio of the first window area.

[0095] In step S22, the display position of the first window area is determined based on the rotation direction of the electronic device, wherein the display position of the first window area avoids the non-display area in the corresponding rotation direction.

[0096] In step S23, the display area corresponding to the first aspect ratio at the display position is determined as the first window area.

[0097] In other words, the first window area is determined according to the rotation direction of the electronic device, and the application window is displayed vertically. At this time, the height of the first window area is the height of the display screen, and the width of the first window area is part of the width of the display screen, so that the first window area avoids the non-display area in the display screen.

[0098] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining a first window region in the display area of ​​a screen according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, determining the first window area in the display area of ​​the screen includes the following steps.

[0099] In step S31, the difference between the width of the display screen and the width of the non-display area is taken as the height of the first window area, and the height of the display screen is determined as the width of the first window area. The ratio between the height of the first window area and the width of the first window area is determined as the second aspect ratio of the first window area.

[0100] In step S32, the display position of the first window area is determined based on the rotation direction of the electronic device, wherein the display position of the first window area avoids the non-display area in the corresponding rotation direction.

[0101] In step S33, the display area corresponding to the second aspect ratio at the display position is determined as the first window area.

[0102] In other words, the first window area is determined according to the rotation direction of the electronic device, and the application window is displayed horizontally. At this time, the height of the first window area is the width of part of the display screen, and the width of the first window area is the height of the display screen, so that the first window area avoids the non-display area in the display screen.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the electronic device rotates to the left or right (i.e., 315° to 45° or 135° to 225°), the initial height and initial width of the application window are determined based on a first aspect ratio, wherein the ratio between the initial height and the initial width is the first aspect ratio. When the electronic device rotates to the top or bottom (i.e., 45° to 135° or 225° to 315°), the initial height and initial width of the application window are determined based on a second aspect ratio, wherein the ratio between the initial height and the initial width is the second aspect ratio.

[0104] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the rotation direction of a display screen according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 The diagram shows the initial state of the display screen at 0°, the state after rotating 90° clockwise, the state after rotating 180° clockwise, and the state after rotating 270° clockwise, representing the top-up, top-right, top-down, and top-left directions of the electronic device, respectively. When the electronic device rotates 315° to 45°, for example, 0°, the first window area is located to the right of the non-display area. When the electronic device rotates 45° to 135°, for example, 90°, the first window area is located below the non-display area. When the electronic device rotates 135° to 225°, for example, 180°, the first window area is located to the left of the non-display area. When the electronic device rotates 225° to 315°, for example, 270°, the first window area is located above the non-display area.

[0105] During the use of electronic devices, due to different gripping methods or usage scenarios, electronic devices will be used in different directions, that is, different rotation directions of electronic devices. The current gravity information, that is, the angle between the gravity direction and the initial state of the display screen, is obtained through the gravity sensor or gyroscope configured in the electronic device.

[0106] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for adapting and displaying an application window in a first window area according to an exemplary embodiment. For example... Figure 7 As shown, when adapting the application window to the first window area, the following steps are included.

[0107] In step S41, the width and height of the application window are determined based on the current rotation direction of the electronic device, a preset scaling factor, and a first aspect ratio or a second aspect ratio.

[0108] In step S42, based on the display position of the first window area and the width and height of the application window, window display information for the application window to be displayed in the first window area is obtained.

[0109] In step S43, the application window is adapted and displayed in the first window area according to the window display information.

[0110] Based on the display position of the first window area and the width and height of the application window, the window display information adapted for display in the first window area is obtained, including: constructing a screen coordinate system based on the current rotation direction of the electronic device, wherein the upper left corner of the display screen under the current rotation direction of the electronic device is the point of the screen coordinate system, the positive direction of the X-axis is the long or wide side of the display screen to the right of the point, and the positive direction of the Y-axis is the long or wide side of the display screen below the point. When the electronic device rotates from 315° to 45°, the window display information in the screen coordinate system is represented as [(width of non-display area, 0), (width of display screen, 0), (width of display screen, height of display screen), (width of non-display area, height of display screen)]. When the electronic device rotates from 45° to 135°, the window display information in the screen coordinate system is represented as [(0, width of non-display area), (height of display screen, width of non-display area), (height of display screen, width of display screen), (0, width of display screen)]. When the electronic device rotates from 135° to 225°, the window display information is represented in the screen coordinate system as [(0, 0), (difference between the width of the display screen and the width of the non-display area, 0), (difference between the width of the display screen and the width of the non-display area, display screen height), (0, display screen height)]. When the electronic device rotates from 225° to 315°, the window display information is represented in the screen coordinate system as [(0, 0), (display screen height, 0), (display screen height, difference between the width of the display screen and the width of the non-display area), (0, difference between the width of the display screen and the width of the non-display area)].

[0111] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rectangular display area has lengths and widths of A1 and B1, respectively. The non-display area is the outer rectangle of the area that avoids hardware, with lengths and widths of A2 and B2, respectively. Based on the direction of gravity, the top left corner of the display area is taken as the origin of the display coordinate system. Figure 4Taking 0° as an example, the first aspect ratio is A1 / B1-B2, the upper left corner of the display area is the origin of the screen coordinate system, the first window area is a rectangle, and the vertex coordinates of the first window area are (B2, 0), (B1, 0), (B2, A1), (B1, A1). Figure 6 Taking a 90° rotation as an example, the top left corner of the display area is the origin of the screen coordinate system, the second aspect ratio is B1-B2 / A1, and the vertex coordinates of the first window area are (0, B2), (A1, B2), (0, B1-B2), and (A1, B1). Similarly, the display coordinates for 180° and 270° are constructed, which will not be elaborated here. Thus, the window display information of the first window area in different rotation directions of the electronic device is determined.

[0112] Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining the width and height of an application window based on the current rotation direction of the electronic device, a preset scaling factor, and a first or second aspect ratio, according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0113] In step S51, the initial height and initial width of the application window are determined based on the rotation direction of the electronic device and the first aspect ratio or the second aspect ratio.

[0114] In step S52, the initial height and initial width of the application window are scaled proportionally based on the scaling factor to obtain the width and height of the application window.

[0115] The scaling factor is the ratio of the actual application window's height to the height of the first window area, or the ratio of the actual application window's width to the width of the first window area. Currently, most applications are poorly adapted to smaller screens, resulting in display problems such as overlapping cropping and excessively large icon fonts. This embodiment adjusts the application's interface to match the application window with the first window area, effectively improving the application's display effect within the first window area.

[0116] In some embodiments, determining the initial height and initial width of an application window based on the rotation direction of the electronic device and a first aspect ratio or a second aspect ratio includes: when the rotation direction of the electronic device is top-up or top-down, determining the initial height and initial width of the application window based on the first aspect ratio, wherein the ratio between the initial height and the initial width is the first aspect ratio; when the rotation direction of the electronic device is top-left or top-right, determining the initial height and initial width of the application window based on the second aspect ratio, wherein the ratio between the initial height and the initial width is the second aspect ratio.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes displaying the desktop component program window in a second window area, which is a different display area from the first window area. Figure 3 The middle 30 area is the second window area.

[0118] The desktop widgets displayed in the second window area can be small applications provided by the operating system, used to display real-time information or provide specific functions in the second window area. Desktop widgets can display practical information such as weather, calendar, clock, and battery level, and can also provide quick access links, system monitoring, and other functions.

[0119] It should be noted that the method for constructing a second window area within the display area is similar to the method for constructing a first window area within the display area, and will not be repeated here.

[0120] Taking an Android-based electronic device as an example, when the device configuration changes in the Android system (onConfigurationChanged), such as when the electronic device rotates, the configuration of the application component (Activity) can be modified by changing the ResolvedOverrideConfiguration, allowing the application to be displayed correctly within the first window area. A preset scaling factor is set to the state and attributes (WindowState) of the corresponding application window, making the application's interface adaptable to the first window area. Some applications will adapt specifically for the first window area; the application itself can do so by adding metadata configuration to the AndroidManifest file. This embodiment can be achieved by modifying either the Activity or the Application configuration, with Activity having higher priority.

[0121] Based on the same concept, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a window display device.

[0122] It is understood that the window display device provided in this disclosure includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to each function in order to achieve the above-mentioned functions. In conjunction with the units and algorithm steps of the various examples disclosed in this disclosure, this disclosure can be implemented in hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed by hardware or by computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered beyond the scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure.
