Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of terminal, and in particular, to a screen-off display method and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Always on display (AOD) can be used to display time, date, pictures and other AOD content on the display screen after the electronic device is turned off. The current AOD content has less interaction with the user, and the user experience is poor. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a screen-off display method and an electronic device. In the screen-off display state, the electronic device can detect an event for moving the AOD content, and move the AOD content on any display area of the screen according to the event for moving the AOD content. Moreover, when a display area displays the AOD content, other display areas without the AOD content can be in a powered-off state. The method can improve the interactivity of the AOD content while reducing the power consumption of the electronic device in the screen-off display state.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a screen-off display method. The method is applied to a first device, and the first device includes a first display area and a second display area. The first device detects a screen-off event; according to the screen-off event, the first device displays AOD content in the first display area; when the first display area displays the AOD content, the second display area is in a powered-off state; the first device detects a first event; according to the first event, the first device powers on the second display area and displays the AOD content in the second display area; when the second display area displays the AOD content, the first display area is in a powered-off state.

[0005] The first event includes that a human eye gazes at the second display area, or a user performs a touch operation on the second display area.

[0006] It can be seen that in the screen-off display state, the first device can move the AOD content between multiple display areas of the display screen according to the event for moving the AOD content, such as the human eye gazing at the display area or the user performing the touch operation on the display area. This can improve the interactivity of the AOD content. Moreover, the first device can power on the display area displaying the AOD content and power off the display area without the AOD content. This not only can reduce the power consumption of the first device in the screen-off display state and realize the all-day display of the AOD content on the display screen, but also can reduce the damage of the display screen in the powered-on state for a long time. The above method can improve the user experience of the user using the AOD.

[0007] In some embodiments, before displaying the AOD content on the second display area, the first device plays a first animation corresponding to moving the AOD content from the first display area to the second display area.

[0008] For example, the first animation can include a first image sequence. The images in the first image sequence can be arranged in a sequence according to the order of display. In the first image sequence, the image ranked earlier is displayed more on the first display area. In the first image sequence, the image ranked later is displayed more on the second display area. In this way, the display position of the image in the first image sequence can gradually move from the first display area to the second display area according to a preset moving path. The image content of the multiple images included in the first image sequence can be different (for example, the first image sequence includes multiple images of butterflies flying, and the state of the butterflies flying in each image is different). In this way, the animation effect of the object in the AOD content moving from the first display area to the second display area can be presented. Alternatively, the image content of the multiple images included in the first image sequence can be the same. That is, the AOD content can be a static image, and the first device can translate the static image from the first display area to the second display area.

[0009] The scenario in which the first device plays the first animation can refer to the scenario shown in the description of the first aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the second aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the third aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fourth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fifth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the sixth aspect. Figures 4A-4E The scenario in which the first device plays the first animation can refer to the scenario shown in the description of the first aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the second aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the third aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fourth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fifth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the sixth aspect. Figures 5A-5C The scenario in which the first device plays the first animation can refer to the scenario shown in the description of the first aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the second aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the third aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fourth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fifth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the sixth aspect. Figures 6A-6E The scenario in which the first device plays the first animation can refer to the scenario shown in the description of the first aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the second aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the third aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fourth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fifth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the sixth aspect. Figures 7A-7C The scenario in which the first device plays the first animation can refer to the scenario shown in the description of the first aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the second aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the third aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fourth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fifth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the sixth aspect. Figures 8A-8E The scenario in which the first device plays the first animation can refer to the scenario shown in the description of the first aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the second aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the third aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fourth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the fifth aspect, or the scenario shown in the description of the sixth aspect.

[0010] It can be seen that the first device can play an animation of moving the AOD content in the process of moving the AOD content. This animation can provide stronger interactivity for the user, and the user can better perceive the process of the AOD content moving with the change of the eye gaze direction or the change of the action area of the touch operation. In this way, the user experience of the user using the AOD on the first device can be improved.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first device includes a third display area, and the third display area is a display area through which the AOD content moves from the first display area to the second display area. According to the first event, the first device powers on the second display area and the third display area. The first device moves the AOD content from the first display area to the third display area, and then moves the AOD content from the third display area to the second display area. The first device powers off the first display area and the third display area.

[0012] Optionally, when the AOD content moves to the first position of the first display area, the first device powers on the third display area, a distance between the boundary of the first display area and the first position is less than a first threshold; when the AOD content moves to the second position of the third display area, the first device powers on the second display area, a distance between the boundary of the third display area and the second position is less than a second threshold; when the AOD content moves out of the first display area completely, the first device powers off the first display area; when the AOD content moves out of the third display area completely, the first device powers off the third display area.

[0013] It can be seen that, in the process that the AOD content moves from the first display area, through the third display area, to the second display area, the second display area and the third display area can be powered on according to the moving positions of the AOD content. The first device can power on the display areas that need to display the AOD content according to the moving situation of the AOD content. In this way, the first display area, the second display area, and the third display area can not all be in a powered-on state during the process that the AOD content moves from the first display area to the second display area, thereby reducing the power consumption of the first device.

[0014] In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, in the process that the AOD content moves from the first display area to the second display area, the first device plays the first audio. That is to say, the first audio can be accompanied by the first animation described above.

[0015] The above embodiments can provide the user with a transition sound effect of AOD movement, and improve the user experience of using the AOD.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first device includes a first speaker and a second speaker, the first speaker is located on the left side of the first device, and the second speaker is located on the right side of the first device; if the first display area is on the left side of the second display area, the first device gradually reduces the loudness of the first audio played by the first speaker and gradually increases the loudness of the first audio played by the second speaker; if the first display area is on the right side of the second display area, the first device gradually reduces the loudness of the first audio played by the second speaker and gradually increases the loudness of the first audio played by the first speaker.

[0017] The first speaker can be a left speaker of the first device. The second speaker can be a right speaker of the first device.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first device includes a first screen, a second screen, and a third screen arranged from left to right, the first screen and the second screen can be folded around a first folding edge, and the second screen and the third screen can be folded around a second folding edge. The first speaker can be arranged at the position of the first screen. The second speaker can be arranged at the position of the third screen.

[0019] If the first display area is a display area on the first screen and the second display area is a display area on the third screen, the first device can first play the first audio using the first speaker during movement of the AOD content from the first display area to the second display area. The first device can gradually reduce the loudness of the first audio played by the first speaker. When the AOD content moves to the display area corresponding to the second screen, the first device can play the first audio using the first speaker and the second speaker. The first device can continuously reduce the loudness of the first audio played by the first speaker and gradually increase the loudness of the first audio played by the second speaker. When the AOD content moves to the second display area, the first device can stop playing the first audio using the first speaker and play the first audio using the second speaker until the AOD content stops moving.

[0020] It can be seen that the first device can adjust the speaker playing the first audio according to the direction of movement of the AOD content. In this way, the transition sound effect can change with the movement of the AOD content, improving the user experience of using the AOD.

[0021] In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first device further includes a fourth display area. The first device detects a second event, the second event including that a human eye gazes at the fourth display area or that a user performs a touch operation on the fourth display area; and according to the second event, the first device powers on the fourth display area, displays AOD content on the fourth display area; and when the fourth display area displays the AOD content, the first display area and the second display area are in a powered-off state.

[0022] The fourth display area can be any area on the display screen of the first device. The fourth display area is at least partially different from the first display area. The fourth display area is at least partially different from the second display area.

[0023] It can be seen that the user can change the direction of the human eye gaze or perform a touch operation on the display area to move the AOD content from the first display area to the second display area, and then move the AOD content from the second display area to the fourth display area. In this way, the interactivity of the AOD content can be improved.

[0024] In some embodiments, the first device comprises a first screen, a second screen and a third screen arranged from left to right, the first screen and the second screen are foldable around a first folding edge, and the second screen and the third screen are foldable around a second folding edge; if the folding screen of the first device is in a fully unfolded state, the first display area and the second display area are any areas on the first screen, the second screen and the third screen, wherein the fully unfolded state is a state in which the first screen and the second screen are fully unfolded, and the second screen and the third screen are fully unfolded; if the folding screen of the first device is in a half-folded state 1, the first display area and the second display area are any areas on the second screen and the third screen, wherein the half-folded state 1 is a state in which the first screen and the second screen are fully folded, and the second screen and the third screen are fully unfolded; if the folding screen of the first device is in a half-folded state 2 or a fully folded state, the first display area and the second display area are any areas on the first screen, wherein the half-folded state 2 is a state in which the first screen and the second screen are fully unfolded, and the second screen and the third screen are fully folded, and the fully folded state is a state in which the first screen and the second screen are fully folded, and the second screen and the third screen are fully folded.

[0025] The first screen can refer to the A screen in the embodiments of the present application. The second screen can refer to the B screen in the embodiments of the present application. The third screen can refer to

[0026] It can be seen that in different folding states, the screen used by the first device for display can be different. That is, in different folding states, the range of movement of the AOD content can be different.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first display area and the second display area are display areas on different display screens in the first screen, the second screen and the third screen; or the first display area and the second display area are different display areas on one display screen in the first screen, the second screen and the third screen.

[0028] It can be seen that the AOD content can move between different display screens, or move between different areas of one display screen. That is, the first device can move between any areas of the folding screen according to the event used to move the AOD content. This can improve the accuracy of the position movement of the AOD content, and better improve the interactivity between the user and the AOD content.

[0029] In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first device further comprises a fifth display area, the folding screen of the first device is in a first folding state, the first folding state is one of a fully unfolded state, a half-folded state 1, a half-folded state 2, and a fully folded state; when the folding state of the folding screen changes to a second folding state, the first device displays AOD content on the fifth display area, the second folding state is one of the fully unfolded state, the half-folded state 1, the half-folded state 2, and the fully folded state, and the second folding state is different from the first folding state; when the fifth display area displays the AOD content, the display area outside the fifth display area is in a powered-off state.

[0030] If the second folding state is the fully unfolded state, the fifth display area is a display area in the first screen, the second screen, and the third screen. For example, the fifth display area can be the entire area on any one of the first screen, the second screen, and the third screen, or the fifth display area can be a partial area on any one of the first screen, the second screen, and the third screen, or the fifth display area can be the entire area of the first screen and the second screen, or the fifth display area can be composed of a partial area of the first screen and a partial area of the second screen, or the fifth display area can be the entire area of the second screen and the third screen, or the fifth display area can be composed of a partial area of the second screen and a partial area of the third screen.

[0031] If the second folding state is the half-folded state 1, the fifth display area is a display area in the second screen and the third screen. For example, the fifth display area can be the entire area on the second screen or the third screen, or the fifth display area can be a partial area on the second screen or the third screen, or the fifth display area can be composed of a partial area of the second screen and a partial area of the third screen. Alternatively, the fifth display area can be the entire area on the second screen and the third screen.

[0032] If the second folding state is the half-folded state 2 or the fully folded state, the fifth display area is a display area in the first screen. For example, the fifth display area can be the entire area on the first screen or the second screen, or the fifth display area can be a partial area on the first screen or the second screen, or the fifth display area can be composed of a partial area of the first screen and a partial area of the second screen. Alternatively, the fifth display area can be the entire area on the first screen and the second screen.

[0033] It can be seen that the first device can move the AOD content as the folding state of the folding screen changes. The user can change the display position of the AOD by changing the folding state of the folding screen. This can improve the interactivity of the AOD content.

[0034] With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, during the change of the folding state of the folding screen from the first folding state to the second folding state, the first screen, the second screen, and the third screen are all in a powered-off state, and when the folding state of the folding screen changes to the second folding state, the first device powers on the fifth display area. For details, refer to the scenario shown in FIG. 8. Figures 10A-10D

[0035] As can be seen, when the folding state of the folding screen changes from the first folding state to the second folding state, the first device can power off all the screens. The first device can power on the display area (i.e., the fifth display area) that needs to display the AOD content after the folding state of the folding screen changes to the second folding state. In this way, the power consumption of the first device can be reduced.

[0036] With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, when the folding screen is in the first folding state, the AOD content is located in the second display area, and during the change of the folding state of the folding screen from the first folding state to the second folding state, the first device plays a second animation that moves the AOD content from the second display area to the fifth display area. For details, refer to the scenario shown in FIG. 8. Figures 11A-11C

[0037] For example, the second animation can include a second image sequence. The images in the second image sequence can be arranged in order of display. Among them, the earlier the image is arranged in the second image sequence, the more part of the image is displayed on the second display area. The later the image is arranged in the second image sequence, the more part of the image is displayed on the fifth display area. In this way, the display position of the image in the second image sequence can gradually move from the second display area to the fifth display area according to a preset moving path. The second image sequence can refer to the first image sequence described above.

[0038] As can be seen, the display position of the AOD content can change with the change of the folding state. And during the change of the folding state, the first device can display an animation of the movement of the AOD content in the corresponding display area. The user can intuitively see the movement process of the AOD content when changing the folding state of the folding screen. In this way, the interactivity of the AOD content can be improved. In addition, in the above scenario of changing the display position of the AOD content according to the change of the folding state, the first device can power on the display area that needs to display the AOD content and power off the display area that does not need to display the AOD content. In this way, the power consumption of the first device can be reduced.

[0039] ​​In some embodiments of the first aspect, the first device further comprises a sixth display area, the AOD content is located in the second display area, the first device detects a first sliding operation, a start point of the first sliding operation is located in the second display area, and an end point of the first sliding operation is located in the sixth display area; according to the first sliding operation, the first device powers on the sixth display area and moves the AOD content to the sixth display area according to a sliding track of the first sliding operation; and when the sixth display area displays the AOD content, display areas outside the sixth display area are in a powered-off state.

[0040] It can be seen that the user can perform a sliding operation on the display screen to move the AOD content following the sliding of the finger on the display screen. The above embodiments can improve the user experience of using the AOD.

[0041] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the first device is connected with a second device, a fourth screen of the second device is an extended display screen of the first device, the AOD content is located in the second display area, the fourth screen is in a powered-off state, the first device detects a third event, the third event includes that a human eye gazes at the fourth screen or a user performs a touch operation on the fourth screen, and according to the third event, the first device instructs the second device to power on the fourth screen and display the AOD content on the fourth screen; and when the fourth screen displays the AOD content, the first display area and the second display area are in a powered-off state.

[0042] Optionally, the first device and the second device can play an animation corresponding to the movement of the AOD content from the second display area to the fourth screen and play corresponding audio to provide a transition sound effect of the movement of the AOD content to the user.

[0043] It can be seen that in the case where the first device is configured with an extended display screen, the first device can move the AOD content on any area of the display screen of the first device and the extended display screen, thereby improving the interactivity of the AOD content.

[0044] In the second aspect, the present application provides an electronic device. The electronic device can include a memory and a processor. The memory can be used to store a computer program. The processor can be used to call the computer program to execute any possible implementation method in the first aspect.

[0045] In the third aspect, the present application provides a computer readable storage medium storing instructions, which can be executed by a processor to implement any possible implementation method in the first aspect.

[0046] In the fourth aspect, the present application provides a computer program product, which can include computer instructions, when the computer instructions are executed on a processor, can implement any possible implementation method in the first aspect.

[0047] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a chip, which is applied to an electronic device, and the chip comprises one or more processors configured to invoke computer instructions to cause the electronic device to perform any possible implementation method of the first aspect.

[0048] It can be understood that the electronic device provided in the second aspect, the computer readable storage medium provided in the third aspect, the computer program product provided in the fourth aspect, and the chip provided in the fifth aspect are all used to execute the method provided in the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the beneficial effects achieved thereby can refer to the beneficial effects in the corresponding method, which will not be described here again. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0070] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms used in the following embodiments are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to be limiting on the present application. As used in the specification and the appended claims of the present application, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that "at least one" and "one or more" as used in the embodiments herein indicates one or two or more (including two). The term "and / or" is used to describe the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships; for example, A and / or B can represent the following three cases: A exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects.

[0071] Reference within this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" or "some embodiments" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" or "in some embodiments" within this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, although it can. The terms "including," "comprising," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless expressly specified otherwise. The terms "connected," "coupled," and "pathway" mean "directly or indirectly, coupled or connected," unless otherwise indicated. The terms "first," "second," and "third," etc. are used to describe various elements, but do not connote priority or importance among the elements, unless otherwise indicated.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present application, the words "exemplary" and "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration, at 99 least with respect to the matters described at that point in the disclosure. The use of any of these terms in the description is not intended to familiarize, or impart reliability to an embodiment or implimentation. Rather, the term "exemplary" is not used to denote that a particular embodiment or implimentation is preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or implimentations. Indeed, use of the term "exemplary" indicates that an embodiment or implimentation described at that point is one possible implementation, in accordance with the disclosure.

[0073] In some embodiments, after the electronic device is turned off, the AOD content can be displayed in a partial area of the display screen, and the area of the display screen where the AOD content is not displayed can be powered off. The AOD content displayed in the partial area can be static, that is, unable to interact with the user. Alternatively, the AOD content displayed in the partial area can be dynamic. However, in order to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device in the turned-off display state, only a part of the elements in the AOD content can dynamically change in the partial area according to the user input. The user's interaction with the AOD content is limited to a limited display area on the display screen, and the user can only interact with individual elements in the AOD content, which is poor in interactivity. In addition, on a folding screen (especially a multi-fold screen), the above-mentioned scheme of displaying the AOD content in a small area of the folding screen results in a poor overall layout experience.

[0074] In some embodiments, after the electronic device is turned off, the AOD content can be displayed on the display screen in full screen. Since displaying the AOD content in full screen requires lighting up all areas on the screen, displaying the AOD content in full screen can cause the electronic device to consume a large amount of power and easily overheat. In addition, in order to reduce power consumption in the off-screen display state and avoid damage to the display of the electronic device, the AOD content cannot be displayed all day long. For example, the electronic device can maintain the AOD content in full screen display for a preset time period (e.g., 10 seconds) after being turned off. After that, the electronic device can power off the screen and cancel the display of the AOD content.

[0075] The present application provides an off-screen display method. After receiving a turn-off operation, the electronic device can display the AOD content on display area 1 and power off the display areas in the powered-on state except display area 1. In the off-screen display state, the electronic device can detect the gaze direction of the human eye. When it is determined that the human eye gazes at display area 2 according to the gaze direction of the human eye, the electronic device can power on display area 2, move the AOD content from display area 1 to display area 2, and power off the display areas in the powered-on state except display area 2. Optionally, in the off-screen display state, the electronic device can receive a click operation on the display area. When receiving a click operation on display area 3, the electronic device can power on display area 3, move the AOD content to display area 3, and power off the other display areas in the powered-on state except display area 3. The above-mentioned display area 1, display area 2, and display area 3 can be any display area on the display screen of the electronic device.

[0076] As can be seen from the above method, in the off-screen display state, the electronic device can move the AOD content between multiple display areas on the display screen according to the change of the gaze direction of the human eye or the change of the touch area. This can improve the interactivity of the AOD content. In addition, the electronic device can power on the display area where the AOD content is displayed and power off the display area where the AOD content is not displayed. This not only can reduce the power consumption of the electronic device in the off-screen display state and realize the all-day display of the AOD content on the display screen, but also can reduce the damage to the display screen caused by the long-time power-on state. The above-mentioned method can improve the user experience of using the AOD.

[0077] In some embodiments, the above screen-off display method can be applied to an electronic device with multiple display screens. The electronic device with multiple display screens can include a foldable screen device. The foldable screen device can be an electronic device with a foldable screen. The foldable screen can be folded into multiple display screens. For example, a two-fold screen can be folded into two display screens. A three-fold screen can be folded into three display screens. The above display area 1 to display area 3 can be display areas at any position on the foldable screen. For example, the three display screens formed by folding the three-fold screen can be A screen, B screen and C screen respectively. The above display area 1 can be the display area corresponding to the A screen. The above display area 2 can be the display area corresponding to the B screen. The above display area 3 can be the display area corresponding to the C screen. The electronic device can determine the display screen for display according to the folding state of the foldable screen, and then display the AOD content in partitions on the display screen for display.

[0078] The following describes the foldable screen device by taking a three-fold screen as an example.

[0079] Figures 1A-1E Some schematic diagrams of electronic devices 100 with a three-fold screen are shown.

[0080] As shown in Figure 1A , the foldable screen of the electronic device 100 can include A screen, B screen and C screen. Among them, the A screen and the B screen can be distributed on both sides of the folding edge 1 and can rotate around the folding edge 1. The B screen and the C screen can be distributed on both sides of the folding edge 2 and can rotate around the folding edge 2.

[0081] Figure 1A The fully unfolded state of the foldable screen is shown. In the fully unfolded state, the included angle between the A screen and the B screen is 180° or approximately 180°, and the included angle between the B screen and the C screen is 180° or approximately 180°. The A screen, the B screen and the C screen can be unfolded into a plane. In the fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can display the A screen, the B screen and the C screen as a whole screen.

[0082] In some embodiments, a front camera can be provided on the A screen.

[0083] In some embodiments, in the fully unfolded state, the A screen can rotate around the folding edge 1 according to the direction 11a shown in Figure 1A , and the C screen can rotate around the folding edge 2 according to the direction 11b shown in Figure 1A . For example, in the fully unfolded state, the included angle between the B screen and the C screen remains unchanged, the A screen rotates around the folding edge 1 according to the direction 11a, and the foldable screen can form the semi-folded state 1 shown in Figure 1B .

[0084] As shown in Figure 1BAs shown in FIG. 1, the folding screen is in a half-folded state 1. In the half-folded state 1, the angle between the A screen and the B screen is 0° or approximately 0°, and the angle between the B screen and the C screen is 180° or approximately 180°. The A screen faces away from the B screen. The B screen and the C screen are unfolded to be a plane. In the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can display the B screen and the C screen as a whole screen.

[0085] In some embodiments, a front camera can also be arranged on the B screen and / or the C screen.

[0086] In some embodiments, in the half-folded state 1, the B screen can rotate around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12a shown in FIG. 1 together with the A screen; and the C screen can rotate around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12b shown in FIG. 1. For example, in the half-folded state 1, the angle between the A screen and the B screen remains unchanged, the B screen rotates around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12a, and / or the C screen rotates around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12b, and the folding screen can form a fully folded state shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1B Figure 1B In some embodiments, in the half-folded state 1, the B screen can rotate around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12a shown in FIG. 1 together with the A screen; and the C screen can rotate around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12b shown in FIG. 1. For example, in the half-folded state 1, the angle between the A screen and the B screen remains unchanged, the B screen rotates around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12a, and / or the C screen rotates around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12b, and the folding screen can form a fully folded state shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1D

[0087] As shown in FIG. 1, the folding screen is in a half-folded state 1. In the half-folded state 1, the angle between the A screen and the B screen is 0° or approximately 0°, and the angle between the B screen and the C screen is 180° or approximately 180°. The A screen faces away from the B screen. The B screen and the C screen are unfolded to be a plane. In the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can display the B screen and the C screen as a whole screen. Figure 1C Figure 1A As shown in FIG. 1, the folding screen is in a half-folded state 1. In the half-folded state 1, the angle between the A screen and the B screen is 0° or approximately 0°, and the angle between the B screen and the C screen is 180° or approximately 180°. The A screen faces away from the B screen. The B screen and the C screen are unfolded to be a plane. In the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can display the B screen and the C screen as a whole screen.

[0088] In some embodiments, a rear camera is arranged on the back of the C screen. In the half-folded state 2, the back of the C screen and the A screen can face the user at the same time. The electronic device 100 can use the front camera and / or the rear camera to capture images.

[0089] In some embodiments, in the half-folded state 2, the A screen can rotate around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13a shown in FIG. 1; and the B screen can rotate around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13b shown in FIG. 1 together with the C screen. For example, in the half-folded state 2, the angle between the B screen and the C screen remains unchanged, the A screen rotates around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13a, and / or the B screen rotates around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13b, and the folding screen can form a fully folded state shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1C Figure 1C In some embodiments, in the half-folded state 2, the A screen can rotate around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13a shown in FIG. 1; and the B screen can rotate around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13b shown in FIG. 1 together with the C screen. For example, in the half-folded state 2, the angle between the B screen and the C screen remains unchanged, the A screen rotates around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13a, and / or the B screen rotates around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13b, and the folding screen can form a fully folded state shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1D

[0090] As shown in FIG. 1, the folding screen is in a half-folded state 1. In the half-folded state 1, the angle between the A screen and the B screen is 0° or approximately 0°, and the angle between the B screen and the C screen is 180° or approximately 180°. The A screen faces away from the B screen. The B screen and the C screen are unfolded to be a plane. In the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can display the B screen and the C screen as a whole screen. Figure 1D ​​​​​As shown, the foldable screen is in a fully folded state. In some embodiments, the foldable screen can be drawn from... Figure 1B The semi-folded state 1 shown or Figure 1C The semi-folded state 2 shown is folded to form a fully folded state. In the fully folded state, the angle between screen A and screen B is 0° or approximately 0°, and the angle between screen B and screen C is 0° or approximately 0°. Screen A and screen B face away from each other. Screen B and screen C face each other. In the fully folded state, screen A is visible to the user, while screens B and C are not visible to the user, and electronic device 100 can use screen A for display.

[0091] like Figure 1E As shown, the foldable screen is in a support state. Figure 1E The support state shown can be referred to as support state 1. In some embodiments, when the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state, screen A rotates about folding edge 1 in direction 11a, and screen C rotates about folding edge 2 in direction 11b, thus forming support state 1. In support state 1, the angle α between screen A and screen B, and the angle β between screen B and screen C, are both greater than 0° and less than 180°.

[0092] In some embodiments, in bracket state 1, screen A is folded around folding edge 1 according to... Figure 1E Rotate in the direction 14a shown, and screen C rotates around the folded edge 2 according to Figure 1E By rotating in the direction shown in 14b, the folding screen can be formed. Figure 1C The fully folded state is shown. That is to say, the foldable screen in the fully unfolded state can be folded through the support state 1 and further folded to form the fully folded state.

[0093] Figure 2A and Figure 2B An example diagram illustrates the folded state of a tri-fold screen.

[0094] In some embodiments, the folding states of the tri-fold screen can be divided into the following 9 folding states according to the size of the included angle α and included angle β: fully unfolded state, fully folded state, half-folded state 1, half-folded state 2, support state 1, support state 2, support state 3, support state 4, and support state 5.

[0095] Figure 2A The diagram illustrates the positional relationships between screens A, B, and C when the foldable screen is in its fully unfolded, fully folded, half-folded (1), and half-folded (2) states. The fully unfolded, fully folded, half-folded (1), and half-folded (2) states can be found in the previous diagram. Figures 1A-1D The introduction is omitted here.

[0096] Figure 2B The diagram illustrates the positional relationship between screens A, B, and C when the foldable screen is in stand configurations 1 through 5. Stand configuration 1 can be referenced from the previous section. Figure 1E Introduction.

[0097] Regarding the cradle state 2: when in the fully unfolded state, the A panel can rotate around the folding edge 1 in the direction 11a as shown, forming the cradle state 2. Further, when in the cradle state 2, the A panel continues to rotate around the folding edge 1 towards a direction that reduces the included angle a, and the folding panel can finally form the half-folded state 1. That is, the folding panel in the fully unfolded state can fold through the cradle state 2, and further fold to form the half-folded state 1. Conversely, the folding panel in the half-folded state 1 can unfold through the cradle state 2, and finally form the fully unfolded state. Figure 1A

[0098] Regarding the cradle state 3: when in the fully unfolded state, the C panel can rotate around the folding edge 2 in the direction 11b as shown, forming the cradle state 3. Further, when in the cradle state 3, the C panel continues to rotate around the folding edge 2 towards a direction that reduces the included angle β, and the folding panel can finally form the half-folded state 2. That is, the folding panel in the fully unfolded state can fold through the cradle state 3, and further fold to form the half-folded state 2. Conversely, the folding panel in the half-folded state 2 can unfold through the cradle state 3, and finally form the fully unfolded state. Figure 1A

[0099] Regarding the cradle state 4: when in the half-folded state 1, the included angle between the A panel and the B panel remains unchanged, the B panel rotates around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12a as shown, and / or, the C panel rotates around the folding edge 2 in the direction 12b as shown, forming the cradle state 4. Further, when in the cradle state 4, the B panel and / or the C panel can continue to rotate around the folding edge 2 towards a direction that reduces the included angle β, and the folding panel can finally form the fully folded state. That is, the folding panel in the half-folded state 1 can fold through the cradle state 4, and further fold to form the fully folded state. Conversely, the folding panel in the fully folded state can unfold through the cradle state 4, and finally form the half-folded state 1. Figure 1B Figure 1B Regarding the cradle state 5: when in the half-folded state 2, the included angle between the B panel and the C panel remains unchanged, the A panel rotates around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13a as shown, and / or, the B panel rotates around the folding edge 1 in the direction 13b as shown, forming the cradle state 5. Further, when in the cradle state 5, the A panel and / or the B panel can continue to rotate around the folding edge 1 towards a direction that reduces the included angle a, and the folding panel can finally form the fully folded state. That is, the folding panel in the half-folded state 2 can fold through the cradle state 5, and further fold to form the fully folded state. Conversely, the folding panel in the fully folded state can unfold through the cradle state 5, and finally form the half-folded state 2.

[0103] Table 1

[0104] In some embodiments, when P1≤a≤180° and P2≤β≤180°, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding screen is in a fully unfolded state. When 0°≤a≤P3 and P2≤β≤180°, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding screen is in a half-folded state 1. When P1≤a≤180° and 0°≤β≤P4, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding screen is in a half-folded state 2. When 0°≤a≤P3 and 0°≤β≤P4, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding screen is in a fully folded state. When P3

[0105] In some embodiments, the folding screen of the electronic device 100 can be a complete screen of an integrated structure. For example, the folding screen can be a flexible folding screen. The flexible folding screen includes a folding edge made of a flexible material. Part or all of the flexible folding screen is made of a flexible material. That is, the A screen, the B screen, and the C screen described above can be a complete screen of an integrated structure.

[0106] In some embodiments, the folding screen of the electronic device 100 can be a multi-screen folding screen, which can be composed of a plurality of independent display screens. The plurality of display screens can be connected in sequence through folding shafts or hinges. Each display screen can rotate around the folding shaft or hinge connected thereto to realize folding of the multi-screen folding screen. That is, the A screen, the B screen, and the C screen described above can be independent display screens.

[0107] It should be noted that the names of the above folding states are only exemplary descriptions of the present application and should not constitute a limitation on the present application. For example, the above half-folded state 1 can also be referred to as half-expanded state 1. The above half-folded state 2 can also be referred to as half-expanded state 2. The above support states 1-5 can also be referred to as hovering states 1-5.

[0108] It can be seen that in the above fully expanded state, half-folded state 1, half-folded state 2, and fully closed state, any two adjacent display screens (for example, A screen and B screen, or B screen and C screen) are in a fully expanded state (i.e., the included angle between the two display screens is 180° or approximately 180°), or in a fully folded state (i.e., the included angle between the two display screens is 0° or approximately 0°). In the above support states 1-5, there are two adjacent display screens in a partially expanded state. The above partially expanded state is between the fully expanded state and the fully folded state.

[0109] In some embodiments, the display screen used by the electronic device 100 for display can be different when the folding screen is in different folding states.

[0110] Figure 3 Exemplary display screen diagrams for display in different folding states are shown.

[0111] As shown in Figure 3 When the folding screen is in the fully expanded state, the electronic device 100 can use one or more of the A screen, B screen, and C screen for display. That is, in the fully expanded state, the A screen, B screen, and C screen can all be used for display. When the folding screen is in the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can use the B screen and / or C screen for display. That is, in the half-folded state 1, the A screen can be in a powered-off state, and the B screen and C screen can both be used for display. When the folding screen is in the half-folded state 2 or the fully closed state, the electronic device 100 can use the A screen for display. That is, in the half-folded state 2 or the fully closed state, the B screen and C screen can both be in a powered-off state, and the A screen can be used for display.

[0112] The aforementioned Figure 2B The support states 1-5 shown above are intermediate states that the folding screen will pass through during switching between the fully expanded state, half-folded state 1, half-folded state 2, and fully closed state.

[0113] In some embodiments, when the folding state of the foldable screen changes to any one of the support states 1 to 5, the electronic device 100 can turn off the foldable screen, that is, power down screens A, B, and C. For example, in a scenario where the foldable screen changes from a fully unfolded state to a semi-folded state 1 via support state 2, when it changes to support state 2, the electronic device 100 can power down screens A, B, and C; when it changes from support state 2 to semi-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can keep screen A powered down and power up screens B and C. As another example, in a scenario where the foldable screen changes from a semi-folded state 1 to a fully folded state via support state 4, when it changes to support state 4, the electronic device 100 can keep screen A powered down and power down screens B and C; when it changes from support state 4 to fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can keep screens B and C powered down and power up screen A.

[0114] A display screen can be divided into one or more display areas. In the embodiments of this application, powering on a display area can mean powering on the light-emitting devices within that display area on the display screen. Powering off a display area can mean powering off the light-emitting devices within that display area on the display screen.

[0115] In some embodiments, when the foldable screen is in one of the folded states 1 to 3, the electronic device 100 can use one or more of screens A, B, and C for display. When the foldable screen is in the folded state 4, the electronic device 100 can use screen B and / or screen C for display. When the foldable screen is in the folded state 5, the electronic device 100 can use screen A for display.

[0116] It should be noted that the displays used for display in different folding states described above are merely illustrative examples of this application and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0117] The always-on display method provided in this application can be applied to electronic devices with multi-fold screens. Subsequent embodiments will specifically use a tri-fold screen as an example to illustrate the always-on display method.

[0118] Figures 4A-4E Examples of screen-off display scenarios are shown.

[0119] like Figure 4A As shown, the folding screen of electronic device 100 is in a fully unfolded state. After receiving a screen-off operation, electronic device 100 can display AOD content at a preset position. Here, we will use an example where the AOD content includes a butterfly image. For example, the preset position could be the center of the folding screen. Since screen B is located between screens A and C, the center of the folding screen could be the center of screen B.

[0120] like Figure 4AAs shown, screen B is powered on, while screens A and C are powered off. Electronic device 100 can display AOD content on screen B.

[0121] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can capture images using a front-facing camera and detect the user's eye gaze direction based on the captured images. The electronic device 100 can determine the user's eye gaze area based on the eye gaze direction. The electronic device 100 can then move AOD content to the user's eye gaze area.

[0122] For example, when it is detected that a person's eye is looking at screen A, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from screen B to screen A.

[0123] like Figure 4B As shown, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of AOD content gradually moving from screen B to screen A. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The aforementioned animation of AOD content gradually moving from screen B to screen A can include: an animation of a butterfly flying from screen B to screen A.

[0124] In some embodiments, when a person's eye is detected looking at screen A, the electronic device 100 can keep screen B powered on and power on screen A. For example... Figure 4C As shown, after the animation of the AOD content moving from screen B to screen A is completed, the electronic device 100 can power off screen B while keeping screen A powered on.

[0125] In some embodiments, during the animation of AOD content gradually moving from screen B to screen A, the AOD content can be displayed on the foldable screen in three ways: Case 11: All AOD content is displayed on screen B; Case 12: Part of the AOD content is displayed on screen B, and another part is displayed on screen A; Case 13: All AOD content is displayed on screen B. When the AOD content moves to a point where it needs to be displayed on screen A, the electronic device 100 can power on screen A. When the AOD content moves to a point where it is entirely displayed on screen A, the electronic device 100 can power off screen B. That is, in Case 11, only screen B is powered on in the electronic device 100. In Case 12, both screens A and B are powered on. In Case 13, only screen A is powered on in the electronic device 100.

[0126] In some embodiments, in the above Figure 4AWhen the AOD content is displayed on the B screen, the part of the B screen for displaying the AOD content can be powered on, and the other part of the B screen without displaying the AOD content can be powered off. In addition, when the AOD content needs to be moved from the B screen to the A screen, the electronic device 100 can power on the part of the A screen for displaying the AOD, and the other part of the A screen without displaying the AOD content can continue to be powered off. In this way, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be reduced.

[0127] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can be provided with a speaker at the part where the A screen is located. The speaker can be referred to as the left speaker of the electronic device 100. The animation of gradually moving the AOD content from the B screen to the A screen can be accompanied by a transition sound effect. For example, in the process of gradually moving the AOD content from the B screen to the A screen, the electronic device 100 can play audio 1 through the left speaker. Figure 4B In the process of gradually moving the AOD content from the B screen to the A screen, the electronic device 100 can play audio 1 through the left speaker.

[0128] Optionally, the electronic device 100 can be provided with a speaker at the part where the C screen is located. The speaker can be referred to as the right speaker of the electronic device 100. In the process of gradually moving the AOD content from the B screen to the A screen, the electronic device 100 can first play audio 1 through the left speaker and the right speaker, and then gradually transition to playing audio 1 through only the left speaker. Specifically, when the AOD content is still displayed on the B screen, the electronic device 100 can play audio 1 through the left speaker and the right speaker. As the AOD content moves to the left, the loudness of the right speaker of the electronic device 100 playing audio 1 can gradually decrease, and the loudness of the left speaker of the electronic device 100 playing audio 1 can gradually increase. When the AOD content moves to the A screen, the electronic device 100 can turn off the right speaker and play audio 1 through only the left speaker. In this way, the transition sound effect can change with the movement of the AOD content, and the user experience of using the AOD can be improved.

[0129] In some embodiments, without moving the AOD content, the electronic device 100 can refresh the display of the AOD content at a frame rate 1. In the process of moving the AOD content and displaying the animation of moving the AOD content, the electronic device 100 can increase the frame rate to refresh the display of the AOD content at a frame rate 2. After the AOD content moves to the target display area, the electronic device 100 can reduce the frame rate to the frame rate 1, and continue to display the AOD content in the target display area at the frame rate 1. The values of the frame rate 1 and the frame rate 2 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the frame rate 1 can be 1 hertz (hz). The frame rate 2 can be 30 hz. In this way, the display effect of the AOD content moving animation in the process of moving the AOD content can be improved, and the power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be reduced when the AOD content does not need to move the display area.

[0130] In some embodiments, when detecting that the human eye gazes at the A screen, the electronic device 100 can power down the B screen and power up the A screen. After powering up the A screen, the electronic device 100 can display AOD content on the A screen. That is, when changing the display area of the AOD content, the electronic device 100 can directly display the AOD content on the target display area (for example, the center area of the A screen) without playing an animation of the AOD content gradually moving from the original display area to the target display area. The above-mentioned target display area can be determined according to the direction of the human eye gaze.

[0131] As shown in FIG. 13A, the AOD content is displayed on the A screen. When the electronic device 100 detects that the human eye gazes at the C screen, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the A screen to the C screen. Figure 4C As shown in FIG. 13B, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content gradually moving from the A screen to the C screen. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The animation of the AOD content gradually moving from the A screen to the C screen can include an animation of the butterfly flying from the A screen to the direction of the C screen, passing through the B screen, and finally flying to the C screen.

[0132] Figure 4D As shown in FIG. 13B, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content gradually moving from the A screen to the C screen. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The animation of the AOD content gradually moving from the A screen to the C screen can include an animation of the butterfly flying from the A screen to the direction of the C screen, passing through the B screen, and finally flying to the C screen.

[0133] In some embodiments, when detecting that the human eye gazes at the C screen, the electronic device 100 can keep the A screen in the powered-on state, and power up the B screen and the C screen. As shown in FIG. 13C, after the animation of the AOD content moving from the A screen to the C screen is played, the electronic device 100 can power down the A screen and the B screen, and keep the C screen in the powered-on state. Figure 4E

[0134] ​​In some embodiments, the AOD content can have the following five display situations on the folding screen during the process of displaying the animation of gradually moving the AOD content from the A screen to the C screen: situation 21, the AOD content is displayed entirely on the A screen; situation 22, the AOD content is partially displayed on the A screen and partially displayed on the B screen; situation 23, the AOD content is displayed entirely on the B screen; situation 24, the AOD content is partially displayed on the B screen and partially displayed on the C screen; and situation 25, the AOD content is displayed entirely on the C screen. When the AOD content moves to need to be displayed on the B screen, the electronic device 100 can power on the B screen. When the AOD content moves to be displayed entirely on the B screen, the electronic device 100 can power off the A screen. When the AOD content moves to need to be displayed on the C screen, the electronic device 100 can power on the C screen. When the AOD content moves to be displayed entirely on the C screen, the electronic device 100 can power off the B screen. That is, in the above-mentioned situation 21, only the A screen in the electronic device 100 is in the powered-on state. In the above-mentioned situation 22, the A screen and the B screen in the electronic device 100 are in the powered-on state, and the C screen is in the powered-off state. In the above-mentioned situation 23, only the B screen in the electronic device 100 is in the powered-on state. In the above-mentioned situation 24, the B screen and the C screen in the electronic device 100 are in the powered-on state, and the A screen is in the powered-off state. In the above-mentioned situation 25, only the C screen in the electronic device 100 is in the powered-on state.

[0135] It can be seen that, during the process of gradually moving the AOD content from the A screen to the C screen, the B screen and the C screen can be powered on according to the moving position of the AOD content. The electronic device 100 can power on the display screen that needs to display the AOD content according to the moving situation of the AOD content. In this way, the A screen, the B screen and the C screen can not all be in the powered-on state during the process of moving the AOD content from the A screen to the C screen, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electronic device 100.

[0136] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can be provided with a loudspeaker at the part where the C screen is located. The loudspeaker can be referred to as the right loudspeaker of the electronic device 100. The above-mentioned animation of gradually moving the AOD content from the A screen to the C screen can be accompanied by a transition sound effect. For example, in the process of gradually moving the AOD content from the A screen to the C screen as shown in FIG. 11, the electronic device 100 can play audio 2 through the right loudspeaker. Figure 4D

[0137] ​Optionally, during the process of moving the AOD content from the A-screen to the C-screen, the electronic device 100 can first use the left speaker to play the audio 2, and then gradually transition to using the right speaker to play the audio 2. Specifically, when the AOD content is still displayed on the A-screen, the electronic device 100 can use the left speaker to play the audio 2. As the AOD content moves to the right, the loudness of the audio 2 played by the left speaker of the electronic device 100 can gradually decrease. When the AOD content moves to the B-screen, the electronic device 100 can use the left speaker and the right speaker to play the audio 2 at the same time. Further, as the AOD content continues to move to the right, the loudness of the audio 2 played by the right speaker of the electronic device 100 can gradually increase. When the AOD content moves to the C-screen, the electronic device 100 can turn off the left speaker and use the right speaker to play the audio 2. In this way, the transition sound effect can change with the movement of the AOD content, improving the user experience of using the AOD.

[0138] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the speaker used by the electronic device 100 to play the audio in the moving process of the AOD content described above.

[0139] In some embodiments, when the AOD content is displayed on the A-screen, when it is detected that the human eye gazes at the C-screen, the electronic device 100 can power down the A-screen, power up the C-screen, and keep the B-screen in a powered-down state. After powering up the C-screen, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the C-screen.

[0140] In some embodiments, the AOD content is a dynamic AOD. The dynamic AOD can include multiple frames of images. When the electronic device 100 displays the dynamic AOD in a certain display area, the electronic device 100 can display the multiple frames of images included in the dynamic AOD in a loop in the display area. When an event triggering the electronic device 100 to move the AOD content from the display area 1 to the display area 2 is detected, the electronic device 100 can continue to display the dynamic AOD on the display area 2 according to the display state of the current dynamic AOD on the display area 1. In this way, the continuity of the display of the dynamic AOD before and after the movement can be realized, improving the user experience of watching the AOD.

[0141] For example, a dynamic AOD (Await-and-Drop) includes six frames: frame 1 through frame 6. The electronic device 100 can cyclically display these six frames in display area 1 in the order of frame 1 through frame 6. If the electronic device 100 detects a user's gaze at display area 2 while displaying frame 2 of the six frames in display area 1, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content to display area 2. Specifically, the electronic device 100 can first display frame 3 of the six frames in display area 2, and then cyclically display these six frames in display area 2 in the order of frame 1 through frame 6. Further, if the electronic device 100 detects a user's gaze at display area 3 while displaying frame 4 of the six frames in display area 2, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content to display area 3. Specifically, the electronic device 100 can first display frame 4 of the six frames in display area 3, and then cyclically display these six frames in display area 3 in the order of frame 1 through frame 6.

[0142] The aforementioned display areas 1, 2, and 3 can be any display area on one or more displays, such as screen A, screen B, and screen C. Display areas 1, 2, and 3 can be completely different or have partially overlapping areas.

[0143] From the above Figures 4A-4E As can be seen from the scenario, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content among the three displays included in the folding screen according to changes in the direction of the human eye's gaze. When the direction of the human eye's gaze changes from left to right, the display position of the AOD content can move to the right (e.g., Figure 4D As shown, the display position of the AOD content can be moved to the left as the viewer's gaze changes from right to left (e.g., moving from screen A to screen C). Figure 4B (As shown, moving from screen B to screen A from left). This enhances the interactivity of the AOD content, allowing users to move the AOD content across different display areas of the screen by changing their gaze direction. Furthermore, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content movement during this process. This animation provides users with enhanced interactivity, allowing them to better perceive the movement of the AOD content as their gaze direction changes. This improves the user experience when using AOD on the electronic device 100.

[0144] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can move AOD content between different display areas of a display screen according to changes in the direction of human eye gaze.

[0145] Figures 5A-5C Examples of screen-off display scenarios are shown.

[0146] likeFigure 5A As shown in FIG. 5A, the B screen of the electronic device 100 can include a region 511 and a region 512. The AOD content is currently displayed in the region 511. Among them, the B screen is in the powered-on state. The A screen and the C screen can both be in the powered-off state. The electronic device 100 can capture an image through the front camera, and detect the gaze direction of the human eye according to the captured image.

[0147] For example, when the gaze region 512 of the human eye is detected, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the region 511 to the region 512.

[0148] As shown in FIG. 5B, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content gradually moving from the region 511 to the region 512. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The animation of the AOD content gradually moving from the region 511 to the region 512 can include an animation of the butterfly flying from the region 511 to the region 512. Optionally, in the process of the AOD content moving, the electronic device 100 can play corresponding audio to provide a transition sound effect of the AOD moving to the user. Figure 5B As shown in FIG. 5C, when the AOD content moves to the region 512 and the gaze direction of the human eye does not change, the AOD content can be kept displayed in the region 512.

[0149] Figure 5C As shown in FIG. 5D, when the AOD content moves to the region 512 and the gaze direction of the human eye does not change, the AOD content can be kept displayed in the region 512.

[0150] In some embodiments, when the AOD content is displayed in any region of the B screen, all regions on the B screen can be in the powered-on state. That is to say, in the process of the AOD content moving between different regions of the B screen, the electronic device 100 can not need to change the power-on and power-off states of the A screen, the B screen, and the C screen.

[0151] Alternatively, the region of the B screen in which the AOD content is displayed can be in the powered-on state. Another part of the region of the B screen in which the AOD content is not displayed can be in the powered-off state. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the AOD content is displayed in the region 511, the region 511 can be in the powered-on state. Other regions (for example, the region 512) of the B screen other than the region 511 can be in the powered-off state. Figure 5A Figure 5B As shown in FIG. 5B, when the AOD content moves to the region 512, the electronic device 100 can power on the region 512. Figure 5C As shown in FIG. 5C, when the AOD content moves out of the region 511, the electronic device 100 can power off the region 511.

[0152] ​​The regions 511 and 512 are only exemplary descriptions of the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application. The AOD content can also move between other regions. For example, the AOD content can move from the region 511 to a region between the A screen and the B screen. The region between the A screen and the B screen contains a portion of the A screen and a portion of the B screen, i.e., a region on the folding edge 1.

[0153] It can be seen that the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content according to the change in the gaze direction of the human eye. The AOD content can not only move between different display screens contained by the folding screen, but also move between different display regions on one display screen contained by the folding screen. For example, in the case where the AOD content is displayed in the center of the B screen, when the gaze direction of the human eye changes from upward, the display position of the AOD content can move upward (for example, as shown from the region 511 to the region 512); or when the gaze direction of the human eye changes downward, the AOD content can move downward. The greater the distance of the change in the gaze direction of the human eye, the greater the distance of the movement of the AOD content can be. Figure 5B

[0154] That is, the AOD content can move between any regions of the folding screen according to the change in the gaze direction of the human eye. This can improve the accuracy of the movement of the position of the AOD content and better improve the interactivity between the user and the AOD content.

[0155] Figures 6A-6E Some exemplary scenarios of the screen-off display are shown.

[0156] As shown in Figure 6A , the folding screen of the electronic device 100 is in a fully unfolded state. The electronic device 100 can display the AOD content at a preset position after receiving a screen-off operation. For example, the preset position can be the center position of the B screen.

[0157] As shown in Figure 6A , the B screen is in a powered-on state, and the A screen and the C screen are in a powered-off state. The electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the B screen.

[0158] In some embodiments, in the screen-off display state, the electronic device 100 can detect a click operation acting on the display screen. The electronic device 100 can move the AOD content to the position where the click operation acts.

[0159] For example, when a click operation acting on the A screen is detected, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the B screen to the A screen.

[0160] As shown in Figure 6B ​As shown, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of AOD content gradually moving from screen B to screen A. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The aforementioned animation of AOD content gradually moving from screen B to screen A can include an animation of a butterfly flying from screen B to screen A. The method for powering on and off the folding screen when the electronic device 100 moves the AOD content from screen B to screen A can refer to the aforementioned method. Figures 4A-4C The introduction is omitted here.

[0161] In some embodiments, Figure 6A The click operation shown can be performed at any location on screen A. When it is necessary to move the AOD content to screen A, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content to a preset position on screen A. This embodiment does not limit the preset position on screen A. For example, the preset position on screen A can be the center of screen A. That is to say, in response to a click operation performed at any location on screen A, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content to the center of screen A.

[0162] like Figure 6C As shown, the AOD content is displayed on screen A. When a click operation is detected on screen C, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from screen A to screen C.

[0163] like Figure 6D As shown, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of AOD content gradually moving from screen A to screen C. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The animation of the AOD content gradually moving from screen A to screen C can include: an animation of the butterfly flying from screen A towards screen C, passing screen B, and finally flying to screen C.

[0164] like Figure 6E As shown, after the AOD content is moved to screen C, the electronic device 100 can power off screens A and B. The method by which the electronic device 100 powers on and off the folding screen when the AOD content moves from screen A to screen C can be referred to the aforementioned method. Figures 4C-4E The introduction is omitted here.

[0165] In some embodiments, Figure 6C The click operation shown can be performed at any location on the C screen. When it is necessary to move the AOD content to the C screen, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content to a preset position on the C screen. This embodiment does not limit the preset position on the C screen. For example, the preset position on the C screen can be the center of the C screen. That is to say, in response to a click operation performed at any location on the C screen, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content to the center position of the C screen.

[0166] It should be noted that the power-off of the display screen in the embodiments of the present application can refer to the power-off of the light-emitting device (such as a light-emitting diode, a backlight source, etc.) in the display screen. In some embodiments, in the case of power-off of the display screen, the device (such as a touch sensor) arranged on the display screen for detecting the click operation can still be in the working state and not be powered off. In this way, even if the display screen is powered off, the electronic device 100 can also detect the click operation acting on the display screen.

[0167] From the above Figures 6A-6E scene, it can be known that the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content between the three display screens contained by the folding screen according to the click operation detected on the display screen. The user can change the display position of the AOD by touching different display screens. The above embodiments can improve the interactivity of the AOD content.

[0168] In some embodiments, in the screen-off display state, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content between different display areas of one display screen according to the detected click operation.

[0169] Figures 7A-7C Some screen-off display scene schematic diagrams are exemplarily shown.

[0170] As Figure 7A shown, the electronic device 100 displays the AOD content on the position 711 of the B screen. When the click operation acting on the position 712 of the B screen is detected, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the position 711 to the position 712. The above position 712 can be any position on the B screen except the position 711.

[0171] As Figure 7B shown, the electronic device 100 can display the animation of the AOD content gradually moving from the position 711 to the position 712. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The animation of the AOD content gradually moving from the position 711 to the position 712 can include that the butterfly flies from the position 711 to the position 712. Optionally, in the process of the movement of the AOD content, the electronic device 100 can play the corresponding audio to provide the user with the transition sound effect of the AOD movement.

[0172] As Figure 7C shown, when the AOD content moves to the position 712 and the electronic device 100 does not detect a new click operation, the AOD content can be kept displayed on the position 712.

[0173] As can be seen, in the screen-off display state, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the currently displayed position to the position of the click operation. For example, in the case where the AOD content is displayed in the center of the B screen, in response to the click operation acting on the top of the A screen, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the center of the B screen to the top of the A screen. For another example, in the case where the AOD content is displayed in the top of the A screen, in response to the click operation acting on the bottom of the C screen, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the top of the A screen to the bottom of the C screen.

[0174] As can be seen from the above scenarios, the AOD content can be moved between any regions of the folding screen based on the position of the user click operation. This can improve the accuracy of the AOD content position movement and better improve the interactivity between the user and the AOD content.

[0175] It should be noted that the above-mentioned scenarios of moving each AOD content are only exemplary descriptions of the present application. In the present application, the AOD content can be moved between any display regions on the screen currently used by the electronic device 100 for display. The display region of the AOD content before movement can be a display region composed of one or more display screens, or can be a partial display region on one display screen. The display region of the AOD content after movement can be a display region composed of one or more display screens, or can be a partial display region on one display screen.

[0176] For example, the screen used by the electronic device 100 for display when the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state can include the A screen, the B screen and the C screen. In the case where the AOD content is displayed in the display region composed of the A screen and the B screen (for example, the position of the folding edge 1), according to the event of moving the AOD content, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content to the display region composed of the B screen and the C screen (for example, the position of the folding edge 2).

[0177] Figures 8A-8E Some screen-off display scenarios are exemplarily shown.

[0178] As Figure 8A shown, the folding screen of the electronic device 100 is in the semi-folded state 1. The electronic device 100 can display the AOD content using the B screen and / or the C screen. In the case where the folding screen is in the semi-folded state 1, after receiving the screen-off operation, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content at a preset position. For example, the above-mentioned preset position can be the center position of the display screen combined by the B screen and the C screen.

[0179] As Figure 8AAs shown, both screens B and C are powered on. The electronic device 100 can display AOD content at the center of the combined display screen (screens B and C). That is, a portion of the AOD content can be displayed on screen B, and the remaining portion can be displayed on screen C.

[0180] It should be noted that when the foldable screen is in the semi-folded state 1, screen A can always be powered off.

[0181] In some embodiments, in the always-on display (AOD) state, the electronic device 100 can detect a click operation on the display screen. The electronic device 100 can then move the AOD content to the location where the click operation occurred.

[0182] For example, when a click operation is detected on screen B, electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from between screen B and screen C to be fully displayed on screen B.

[0183] like Figure 8B As shown, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of AOD content moving. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The animation of the AOD content moving can include: an animation of the butterfly flying from the folded edge 2 to the left until it is fully on the B screen.

[0184] In some embodiments, when the AOD content has been completely moved to screen B, the electronic device 100 may power off screen C.

[0185] like Figure 8C As shown, screen B is powered on, and screen C is powered off. In the absence of a new click operation, electronic device 100 can continue displaying AOD content on screen B.

[0186] like Figure 8C As shown, when the AOD content is displayed on screen B, in response to a click operation on screen C, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from screen B to screen C.

[0187] like Figure 8D As shown, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of AOD content gradually moving from screen B to screen C. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The animation of the AOD content gradually moving from screen B to screen C can include: an animation of the butterfly flying to the right from screen B to screen C.

[0188] In some embodiments, when a click operation on the C screen is detected, the electronic device 100 can power on the C screen. When the animation of moving the AOD content from the B screen to the C screen is played, the electronic device 100 can power off the B screen. Alternatively, when the AOD content moves to the C screen, the electronic device 100 can power on the C screen. When the AOD content moves out of the B screen, the electronic device 100 can power off the B screen.

[0189] As shown in FIG. 13B, the C screen is in the powered-on state, and the electronic device 100 can keep displaying the AOD content on the C screen without receiving a new click operation. After the electronic device 100 powers off the B screen, the B screen can be in the powered-off state. Figure 8E

[0190] In some embodiments, in the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the currently displayed position to a preset position (for example, the center position of the screen) on the B screen (or the C screen) in response to a click operation acting on any position of the B screen (or the C screen). Alternatively, in the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the currently displayed position to the position where the click operation acts in response to a click operation acting on any position of the B screen (or the C screen). In this way, the AOD content can be moved to any position on the B screen and the C screen. For details, please refer to the foregoing description. Figures 7A-7C

[0191] In some embodiments, during the movement of the AOD content as shown in FIG. 13B, the electronic device 100 can play corresponding audio to provide a transition sound effect of the AOD movement to the user. Figures 8A-8E

[0192] In some embodiments, the front camera of the electronic device 100 is arranged on the A screen. When the folding screen is in the half-folded state 1, the display screen viewed by the user is usually the B screen and the C screen, and the front camera on the A screen cannot capture the face image of the user. Therefore, the interaction mode of the user with the AOD content can include changing the display position of the AOD content through a click operation, but does not include changing the display position of the AOD content by changing the gaze direction of the human eye. In this way, when the folding screen is in the half-folded state 1, the front camera arranged on the A screen can be in a non-working state.

[0193] ​​​In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 is provided with a camera on the B screen and / or the C screen. When the folding screen is in the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can collect the image of the user through the camera on the B screen and / or the C screen, and identify the gaze direction of the human eye of the user according to the collected image. Then, the electronic device 100 can change the display position of the AOD content on the B screen and the C screen according to the change of the gaze direction of the human eye. In this way, in the half-folded state 1, the user can change the display position of the AOD content by clicking operation, or change the display position of the AOD content by changing the gaze direction of the human eye.

[0194] From the above scenario, it can be known that when the folding screen of the electronic device 100 is in the half-folded state 1, the AOD content displayed after the electronic device 100 is turned off can also interact with the user. For example, according to the clicking operation of the user, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content on the B screen and the C screen arbitrarily. In this way, the interactivity between the user and the AOD content can be improved, and the user experience of the user using the electronic device 100 in the folding state 1 can be improved.

[0195] In some embodiments, not limited to the above full unfolding state and half-folded state 1, when the folding screen is in the half-folded state 2 or the fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can also change the display position of the AOD content according to the event (such as the touch operation on the display area, the gaze area of the human eye on the screen) for triggering the movement of the AOD content.

[0196] From the foregoing Figure 3 embodiments, in the half-folded state 2 and the fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can use the A screen for display, and keep the B screen and the C screen in the powered-off state. The front camera is provided on the A screen.

[0197] In the case that the folding screen is in the half-folded state 2 and the fully folded state, after the electronic device 100 receives the screen-off operation, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the A screen.

[0198] In some embodiments, in the screen-off display state, the electronic device 100 can collect the image through the front camera on the A screen, and identify the gaze direction of the human eye of the user. The electronic device 100 can move the AOD content on the A screen according to the change of the gaze direction of the human eye. For example, when the gaze direction of the human eye moves upward, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content upward on the A screen. When the gaze direction of the human eye moves downward, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content downward on the A screen.

[0199] In some embodiments, in the screen-off display state, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content to the position of the clicking operation acting on the A screen according to the clicking operation acting on the A screen. In this way, the user can touch any position on the A screen to change the display position of the AOD content on the A screen.

[0200] In some embodiments, during the movement of the AOD content on the A-screen, the electronic device 100 can play corresponding audio to provide a transition sound effect of the AOD movement to the user.

[0201] In some embodiments, when the folding screen is in the half-folded state 2 or the fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can power on the part of the A-screen where the AOD content is displayed and power off the other part of the A-screen where the AOD content is not displayed in the screen-off display state. When the AOD content moves on the A-screen, the electronic device 100 can adjust the areas in the A-screen that are powered on and powered off according to the movement of the AOD content. In this way, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 in the screen-off display state can be reduced.

[0202] As can be seen, in any of the fully unfolded state, the fully folded state, the half-folded state 1, and the half-folded state 2 of the folding screen, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content in part or all of the display area of the folding screen according to the event (such as the touch operation on the display area and / or the eye gaze area on the screen) for triggering the movement of the AOD content. In this way, the interactivity of the AOD content can be improved, thereby improving the user experience of the user using the AOD on the folding screen device.

[0203] Figure 9 An exemplary flowchart of a screen-off display method provided by the present application is shown.

[0204] S911, the electronic device 100 detects a screen-off event.

[0205] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned screen-off event can include a screen-off operation acting on the electronic device 100. For example, the screen-off operation can include an operation of pressing the power button when the electronic device 100 is in a screen-on state. Alternatively, the screen-off event can also include that there is no user operation acting on the display screen within a preset time period in the screen-on state. The above-mentioned preset time period can be 5 minutes or 10 minutes, etc. The present application embodiment does not limit the value of the preset time period.

[0206] In the case where the screen-off display function is turned on, the above-mentioned screen-off event can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to enter the screen-off display state. The present application embodiment does not limit the screen-off event.

[0207] S912, when the folding screen is in the first folding state, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the display area a1 according to the preset AOD theme, and when the display area a1 displays the AOD content, the other display areas except the display area a1 are in the powered-off state.

[0208] The electronic device 100 can determine the display area for always-on display as display area a1 based on the folding state of the folding screen.

[0209] In some embodiments, when a screen-off event that triggers the foldable screen to turn off is detected, the electronic device 100 can detect the folding state of the foldable screen and determine the display area for screen-off display based on the folding state.

[0210] The electronic device 100 may include a gyroscope sensor. The electronic device 100 can detect the folding state of the foldable screen using the gyroscope sensor. The foldable screen may include the aforementioned... Figure 1A The three displays shown are screen A, screen B, and screen C. Each of screens A, B, and C can be equipped with a gyroscope sensor to measure the orientation of the corresponding display. The electronic device 100 can determine the angle between two adjacent displays based on the change in orientation angle measured by the gyroscope sensor, for example, the angle between screens A and B, and the angle between screens B and C. Thus, based on the aforementioned... Figure 2A and Figure 2B The description of the relationship between the included angle between two adjacent displays and the folding state allows the electronic device 100 to determine the folding state of the folding screen.

[0211] Optionally, the electronic device 100 may include an angle sensor. The electronic device 100 can detect the folding state of the foldable screen using the angle sensor. The foldable screen may include the aforementioned... Figure 1A The three displays shown are screen A, screen B, and screen C. The folded edge between screen A and screen B is folded edge 1. The folded edge between screen B and screen C is folded edge 2. Angle sensors can be installed at the locations of folded edges 1 and folded edges 2. The electronic device 100 can detect the angle between screen A and screen B based on the angle sensor at the location of folded edge 1, and detect the angle between screen B and screen C based on the angle sensor at the location of folded edge 2. Thus, based on the aforementioned... Figure 2A and Figure 2B The description of the relationship between the included angle between two adjacent displays and the folding state allows the electronic device 100 to determine the folding state of the folding screen.

[0212] Optionally, the electronic device 100 may include a magnetic sensor. The electronic device 100 can detect the folding state of the foldable screen using the magnetic sensor. The foldable screen may include the aforementioned... Figure 1AThe three displays shown are screen A, screen B, and screen C. In some embodiments, magnetic sensors may be provided on screen A and screen C, and a magnet may be provided on screen B. The larger the angle between screen A and screen B, the farther the distance between the magnetic sensor on screen A and the magnet on screen B, and the smaller the magnetic flux detected by the magnetic sensor on screen A. Similarly, the larger the angle between screen B and screen C, the farther the distance between the magnetic sensor on screen C and the magnet on screen B, and the smaller the magnetic flux detected by the magnetic sensor on screen C. The electronic device 100 can determine the folding state of the folding screen based on the magnetic flux detected by the magnetic sensor on screen A and the magnetic flux detected by the magnetic sensor on screen C. For example, if the magnetic flux detected by the magnetic sensor on screen A is less than magnetic flux threshold 1, and the magnetic flux detected by the magnetic sensor on screen C is less than magnetic flux threshold 2, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state. This application embodiment does not limit the values ​​of the aforementioned magnetic flux threshold 1 and magnetic flux threshold 2.

[0213] Optionally, the electronic device 100 can detect the folding state of the folding screen via a touch sensor on the folding screen. The folding screen may include the aforementioned... Figure 1A The three displays shown are screen A, screen B, and screen C. The folded edge between screen A and screen B is folded edge 1. The folded edge between screen B and screen C is folded edge 2. The capacitance value detected by the touch sensor in the area of ​​the folded edge can change with the angle between the two displays on either side of the folded edge. The smaller the angle between the two displays on either side of the folded edge, the larger the capacitance value detected by the touch sensor in the area of ​​the folded edge. For example, electronic device 100 can determine whether screen A and screen B are folded based on whether the capacitance value detected by the touch sensor in the area of ​​folded edge 1 is greater than capacitance threshold 1. Electronic device 100 can determine whether screen B and screen C are folded based on whether the capacitance value detected by the touch sensor in the area of ​​folded edge 2 is greater than capacitance threshold 2. This embodiment does not limit the values ​​of capacitance threshold 1 and capacitance threshold 2.

[0214] In addition to the methods for determining the folding state described above, the electronic device 100 can also detect the folding state of the folding screen using other methods.

[0215] From the above Figure 3 It is known that the display screen used by the electronic device 100 for display is related to the folding state of the folding screen. The first folding state can be any one of the following: fully unfolded state, half-folded state 1, half-folded state 2, and fully folded state.

[0216] For example, if the foldable screen is in its fully unfolded state, the display screen used by the electronic device 100 for displaying information can be one or more of screens A, B, and C. In the fully unfolded state, in response to a screen-off event, the electronic device 100 can display AOD content on screen B (see above). Figure 4A). That is, the display area a1 can be the display area corresponding to the B screen.

[0217] If the folding screen is in the half-folded state 1, the display screen used by the electronic device 100 for display can be the B screen and / or the C screen. In the half-folded state 1, in response to the screen-off event, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the B screen and the C screen (for reference to the foregoing description of the half-folded state 1). Figure 8A ) That is, the display area a1 can be the display area corresponding to the B screen and the C screen.

[0218] If the folding screen is in the half-folded state 2 or the fully folded state, the display screen used by the electronic device 100 for display can be the A screen. In the half-folded state 2 or the fully folded state, in response to the screen-off event, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the A screen. That is, the display area a1 can be the display area corresponding to the A screen.

[0219] It should be noted that the display area a1 described above can be the display area in which the electronic device 100 first displays the AOD content after entering the screen-off display state. Subsequently, the electronic device 100 can change the display area of the AOD content according to the event used to trigger the movement of the AOD content.

[0220] Optionally, the first folding state can also be any one of the stand states 1 to 5.

[0221] In some embodiments, in response to the screen-off event, the electronic device 100 can power off all display areas (i.e., the A screen, the B screen, and the C screen) of the folding screen. Then, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area a1 and display the AOD content on the display area a1. Alternatively, in response to the screen-off event, the electronic device 100 can keep the display area a1 powered on and power off other display areas except the display area a1.

[0222] For example, when the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state, the display area a1 can be the display area corresponding to the B screen. The electronic device 100 can power on the B screen and power off the A screen and the C screen. Alternatively, when the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state, the display area a1 can be a part of the display area on the B screen (e.g., a part of the display area at the center position of the B screen). The electronic device 100 can power on the display area a1, power off the display area on the B screen except the display area a1, and power off the A screen and the C screen.

[0223] When the folding screen is in the semi-folded state 1, the display area a1 can be a display area corresponding to the B screen and the C screen. The electronic device 100 can power on the B screen and the C screen, and keep the A screen in a powered-off state. Alternatively, when the folding screen is in the semi-folded state 1, the display area a1 can be composed of a part of the display area on the B screen and a part of the display area on the C screen. The electronic device 100 can power on the display area a1, power off the display area other than the display area a1 on the B screen and the C screen, and keep the A screen in a powered-off state.

[0224] When the folding screen is in the semi-folded state 2 or the fully-folded state, the display area a1 can be a display area corresponding to the A screen. The electronic device 100 can power on the A screen, and keep the B screen and the C screen in a powered-off state. Alternatively, when the folding screen is in the semi-folded state 2 or the fully-folded state, the display area a1 can be a part of the display area on the A screen (for example, a part of the display area where the center position of the A screen is located). The electronic device 100 can power on the display area a1, power off the display area other than the display area a1 on the A screen, and keep the B screen and the C screen in a powered-off state.

[0225] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 powering off the display area can include turning off one or more signals such as a screen driving P start trigger signal (gate P start vertical, GSTV), a screen driving N start trigger signal (gate N start vertical, NSTV), a signal toggle, and the like in the display area. The electronic device 100 powering on the display area can include turning on one or more signals such as the GSTV, the NSTV, the toggle, and the like in the display area. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the above-mentioned method of powering on and powering off the display area.

[0226] S913, when the user gazes at the display area a2, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area a2, move the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a2, and when the display area a2 displays the AOD content, the other display areas other than the display area a2 are in a powered-off state.

[0227] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can capture a face image of the user through the front camera, and detect the gaze direction of the human eye of the user according to the captured face image. The electronic device 100 can determine the human eye gaze area according to the gaze direction of the human eye of the user. For example, if the human eye gazes at the display area a2, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a2. The display area a1 and the display area a2 are at least partially different.

[0228] Optionally, the camera used for detecting the gaze direction of the human eye can be a front-facing always-on camera (AOC). In the screen-off display state, the front-facing AOC can work in a low-power mode. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the method of detecting the gaze direction of the human eye. In some embodiments, when the display area a1 and the display area a2 are completely different, the electronic device 100 can power off the display area a1 and power on the display area a2 to display the AOD content. When the display area a1 and the display area a2 partially overlap, the electronic device 100 can power off the display area of the display area a1 that does not overlap with the display area a2, and power on the display area of the display area a2 that does not overlap with the display area a1 to display the AOD content. In this way, the display area of the AOD content can be switched from the display area a1 to the display area a2.

[0229] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can display an animation corresponding to the movement of the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a2. In addition to powering on the display area a2, the electronic device 100 can also power on the display areas that the AOD content needs to pass through during the movement of the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a2. After the animation corresponding to the movement of the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a2 is played, the electronic device 100 can power off the display areas that are in the powered-on state except the display area a2. The electronic device 100 can keep the display areas that do not need to display the AOD content in the powered-off state.

[0230] Alternatively, during the movement of the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a2, the electronic device 100 can power on the display areas in which the AOD content needs to be displayed in sequence according to the order of the need to display the AOD content, and power off the display areas from which the AOD content moves out. For example, the AOD content moves from the display area a1 to the display area a2 through the display area a4. When the AOD content is completely displayed in the display area a1, only the display area a1 can be in the powered-on state in the electronic device 100. When the AOD content needs to be displayed in the display area a4, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area a4. When the AOD content is completely moved from the display area a1 to the display area a4, the electronic device 100 can power off the display area a1. Then, when the AOD content needs to be displayed in the display area a2, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area a2. When the AOD content is completely moved from the display area a4 to the display area a2, the electronic device 100 can power off the display area a4. For other display areas except the display area a1, the display area a2, and the display area a4, the electronic device 100 can keep them in the powered-off state during the movement of the AOD content to the display area a2.

[0231] The timing of powering on or powering off the display area on the folding screen is only an exemplary description of the present application and should not constitute a limitation on the present application.

[0232] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can store an animation file of the AOD. The animation file of the AOD can include the animation in the AOD content moving process described above. When the gaze direction of the human eye changes, the electronic device 100 can read the animation file of the AOD and display the animation in the AOD content moving process according to the animation file. Alternatively, the animation in the AOD content moving process described above can be generated according to the AOD content stored by the electronic device 100. For example, when the gaze direction of the human eye changes, the electronic device 100 can generate multiple images based on the AOD content by using an artificial intelligence (AI) image generation technology, and obtain the animation in the AOD content moving process. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the source of the animation in the AOD content moving process described above.

[0233] The process of moving the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a2 described above can refer to the scene of moving the AOD content from the B screen to the A screen shown in the foregoing Figure 4B , and the scene of moving the AOD content from the A screen to the C screen shown in the foregoing Figure 4D .

[0234] For example, when the folding screen is in a fully unfolded state, the display area a1 can be the display area corresponding to the B screen, and the display area a2 can be the display area corresponding to the A screen or the display area corresponding to the C screen. When the AOD content is displayed on the A screen (or the C screen), the B screen and the C screen (or the A screen and the B screen) in the electronic device 100 can be in a powered-off state.

[0235] Alternatively, when the folding screen is in a fully unfolded state, the display area a1 can be the display area corresponding to the A screen and the B screen (for example, the AOD content is displayed at the center position of the display screen composed of the A screen and the B screen), and the display area a2 can be the display area corresponding to the B screen and the C screen (for example, the AOD content is displayed at the center position of the display screen composed of the B screen and the C screen).

[0236] Alternatively, when the folding screen is in a fully unfolded state, the display area a1 is a display area of a part of the B screen, and the display area a2 can be a display area at any position of the display area a1 on the B screen, the A screen, or the C screen. For example, the display area a2 is a part of the display area on the A screen. Alternatively, the display area a2 is composed of a part of the display area on the A screen and a part of the display area on the B screen.

[0237] Alternatively, when the folding screen is in the half-folded state 1, the display area a1 can be a display area corresponding to the B screen and the C screen, and the display area a2 can be a display area corresponding to the B screen or a display area corresponding to the C screen.

[0238] Alternatively, when the folding screen is in the half-folded state 1, the display area a1 can be composed of a part of the display area on the B screen and a part of the display area on the C screen, and the display area a2 can be a display area at any position on the B screen and the C screen other than the display area a1.

[0239] Alternatively, when the folding screen is in the half-folded state 2 or the fully unfolded state, the display area a1 can be a part of the display area on the A screen. The display area a2 can be a display area at any position on the A screen other than the display area a1.

[0240] Embodiments of the present application do not limit the positions of the display area a1 and the display area a2 on the folding screen.

[0241] In some embodiments, during the movement of the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a2, the electronic device 100 can play corresponding audio to provide a transition sound effect of the AOD movement to the user. Optionally, the electronic device 100 can determine a speaker for playing the audio according to the direction of the AOD movement. For example, the electronic device 100 can include a left speaker and a right speaker. If the AOD content moves left on the display screen, the electronic device 100 can use the left speaker to play the audio during the movement of the AOD content. If the AOD content moves right on the display screen, the electronic device 100 can use the right speaker to play the audio during the movement of the AOD content.

[0242] In some embodiments, if the AOD content moves left on the display screen, the electronic device 100 can use the left speaker and the right speaker to play the audio during the movement of the AOD content, and gradually decrease the loudness of the audio played by the right speaker and gradually increase the loudness of the audio played by the left speaker. Alternatively, if the AOD content moves left on the display screen, the electronic device 100 can first use the right speaker to play the audio during the movement of the AOD content, and gradually transition to using the left speaker to play the audio during the movement of the AOD content. If the AOD content moves right on the display screen, the electronic device 100 can use the left speaker and the right speaker to play the audio during the movement of the AOD content, and gradually decrease the loudness of the audio played by the left speaker and gradually increase the loudness of the audio played by the right speaker. Alternatively, if the AOD content moves right on the display screen, the electronic device 100 can first use the left speaker to play the audio during the movement of the AOD content, and gradually transition to using the right speaker to play the audio during the movement of the AOD content. Embodiments of the present application do not limit the audio during the movement of the AOD content. The audio during the movement of the AOD content can be referred to as AOD transition audio.

[0243] Exemplarily, in the process that the AOD content gradually moves from the C screen to the A screen, the electronic device 100 can play the AOD transition audio using the right speaker when the AOD content is still displayed on the C screen. As the AOD content moves to the left, the electronic device 100 can gradually reduce the loudness of the AOD transition audio played by the right speaker. When the AOD content moves to the B screen, the electronic device 100 can play the AOD transition audio using both the left speaker and the right speaker. Further, as the AOD content continues to move to the left, the electronic device 100 can gradually increase the loudness of the AOD transition audio played by the left speaker. When the AOD content moves to the A screen, the electronic device 100 can turn off the right speaker and play the AOD transition audio using the left speaker. In this way, the transition sound effect can change with the movement of the AOD content, improving the user experience of using the AOD by the user.

[0244] In the case that the AOD content moves between different display areas on the A screen, the electronic device 100 can play the AOD transition audio using only the left speaker. In the case that the AOD content moves between different display areas on the C screen, the electronic device 100 can play the AOD transition audio using only the right speaker. In the case that the AOD content moves between different display areas on the B screen, the electronic device 100 can play the AOD transition audio using both the left speaker and the right speaker.

[0245] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the speaker used by the electronic device 100 to play the audio in the process that the AOD content moves.

[0246] S914, the electronic device 100 can receive a click operation acting on the display area a3.

[0247] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can detect the click operation acting on the display screen through the touch sensor on the display screen. In the case that the AOD content is displayed on the display area a1, in response to the click operation acting on the display area a3, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a3. The display area a3 is a different display area from the display area a1.

[0248] Optionally, the device for detecting the click operation can include a touch panel driver integration chip. In the screen-off display state, the touch panel driver integration chip can work in a low-power mode. In the low-power mode, the touch panel driver integration chip can only recognize click operations (e.g., single-click screen operation, double-click screen operation) acting on the display screen, without recognizing other types of operations (e.g., sliding operation) acting on the display screen. Alternatively, in the screen-off display state, the touch panel driver integration chip can also work in a non-low-power mode. In this way, the touch panel driver integration chip can recognize multiple different types of operations acting on the display screen.

[0249] The click operation acting on the display area a3 can be a single-click operation acting on the display area a3. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the user operation acting on the display screen for moving the AOD content.

[0250] In S915, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area a3, move the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a3, and display the AOD content on the display area a3, while other display areas except the display area a3 are in the powered-off state.

[0251] The method for moving the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a3 by the electronic device 100 can refer to the method for moving the AOD content from the display area a1 to the display area a2 in the aforementioned step S913. Details are not described herein.

[0252] In some embodiments, in the screen-off display state, the electronic device 100 can detect a sliding operation acting on the display screen. The electronic device 100 can determine a trajectory of the AOD content movement according to a trajectory of the sliding operation, so as to realize the movement of the AOD content following the sliding operation. For example, the trajectory of the AOD content movement can be the same as the trajectory of the sliding operation (it should be understood that the two trajectories can be the same within an error range). In this way, in addition to moving the AOD content to the position on the display screen where the display screen is clicked by the user, the user can also perform a sliding operation on the display screen to move the AOD content following the sliding of the finger on the display screen. The above-mentioned embodiments can improve the user experience of the user using the AOD.

[0253] It should be noted that after the AOD content is moved to the display area a2 or the display area a3, if a change in the gaze direction of the human eye is detected, or a click operation acting on another display area is received, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content again.

[0254] In addition to the touch operations performed on the display screen based on the user's gaze direction, the electronic device 100 can also move the AOD content according to other events that trigger the movement of the AOD content. For example, the electronic device 100 can also detect the user's air gestures and move the AOD content based on the air gestures. The touch operations performed on the display screen can also be called touch operations, including but not limited to: click operations, swipe operations, long press operations, etc.

[0255] As described above, in the screen-off display state, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content between multiple display areas on the screen according to changes in the user's gaze direction or the touch area. This improves the interactivity of the AOD content. Furthermore, the electronic device 100 can power on the display areas showing AOD content and power off the display areas without AOD content. This not only reduces the power consumption of the electronic device 100 in the screen-off display state, allowing the AOD content to be displayed on the screen all day, but also reduces the risk of damage to the screen due to prolonged power-on. These methods enhance the user experience when using AOD.

[0256] In some embodiments, since the display screen used for displaying information may be different when the folded screen is in different folded states, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content according to the change of the folding state.

[0257] Figures 10A-10D Examples of screen-off display scenarios are shown.

[0258] In some embodiments, when the folding state of the folding screen changes to any one of the support states 1 to 5, the electronic device 100 can power down all the displays included in the folding screen. When the folding state of the folding screen changes to any one of the fully unfolded state, half-folded state 1, half-folded state 2, and fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can power up the corresponding display according to the folding state.

[0259] like Figure 10A As shown, when the foldable screen is in its fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can display AOD content on screen B. Screen B is powered on, while screens A and C are powered off. As the angle α between screens A and B decreases, the folding state of the foldable screen changes from fully unfolded to support state 2.

[0260] Specifically, when the folding screen changes to the support state 2, the electronic device 100 can power off screen B while keeping screens A and C powered off. In other words, in support state 2, the folding screen of the electronic device 100 is off, and screens A, B, and C are all powered off.

[0261] It should be noted that if the AOD content is displayed on screen A in the fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can power down screen A after the folded screen changes from its folded state to the support state 2, while keeping screens B and C powered on. In other words, when the folded screen changes from its fully unfolded state to the support state 2, the electronic device 100 can power down the display area displaying AOD content in the fully unfolded state, while keeping the display areas not displaying AOD content in the fully unfolded state powered down. The aforementioned display area displaying AOD content in the fully unfolded state can be any area on screens A, B, or C.

[0262] The angle α between screen A and screen B continues to decrease. When α decreases to near 0° or to 0°, the folding state of the folding screen changes from support state 2 to semi-folding state 1.

[0263] When the folding screen changes from a folded state to a semi-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying AOD content based on the semi-folded state 1. See the foregoing for details. Figure 9 Introduction to step S912.

[0264] For example, in the semi-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can determine that the display area for displaying AOD content is the display area corresponding to screens B and C. The electronic device 100 can power on screens B and C, display AOD content in the central area of ​​the display screen composed of screens B and C, and keep screen A in the powered-off state. Figure 10A As shown, part of the AOD content (e.g., a butterfly image) is displayed on screen B, and another part is displayed on screen C.

[0265] This application embodiment does not limit the display area for the first display of AOD content after the electronic device 100 changes from a folded state to a semi-folded state 1. For example, when the folded screen changes from a folded state to a semi-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can determine that the display area for displaying AOD content is the display area corresponding to screen C. The electronic device 100 can power on only screen C, display AOD content on screen C, and keep screens A and B powered off.

[0266] Depend on Figure 10A As can be seen, as the folding screen changes from a fully unfolded state to a semi-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can change the display position of the AOD content. For example, the display position of the AOD content can change from the center of screen B to the center of the display screen composed of screen B and screen C.

[0267] Understandably, as α increases, the folding state of the foldable screen can change from... Figure 10AThe half-folded state 1 changes to a support state 2, and the electronic device 100 can power down the display area displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 1 and keep the display area not displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 1 in a powered-down state. The display area displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 1 can be any area on the B screen and the C screen. Further, when alpha continues to increase such that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the support state 2 to a fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can power up the B screen, display the AOD content on the B screen, and keep the A screen and the C screen in a powered-down state. Embodiments of the present application do not limit the display area of the electronic device 100 displaying the AOD content for the first time after the folding state changes to the fully unfolded state.

[0268] As shown in FIG. 10B, when the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the B screen. Among them, the B screen is in a powered-up state, and the A screen and the C screen are in a powered-down state. As the angle β between the B screen and the C screen decreases, the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to a support state 3. Figure 10B

[0269] Among them, when the folding state of the folding screen changes to the support state 3, the electronic device 100 can power down the B screen and keep the A screen and the C screen in a powered-down state. That is to say, in the support state 3, the folding screen of the electronic device 100 is turned off, and the A screen, the B screen and the C screen are all in a powered-down state.

[0270] It needs to be explained that when the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the support state 3, the electronic device 100 can power down the display area displaying the AOD content in the fully unfolded state and keep the display area not displaying the AOD content in the fully unfolded state in a powered-down state. The display area displaying the AOD content in the fully unfolded state can be any area on the A screen, the B screen, and the C screen.

[0271] The angle β between the B screen and the C screen continues to decrease. When β decreases to close to 0° or decreases to 0°, the folding state of the folding screen changes from the support state 3 to a half-folded state 2.

[0272] When the folding state of the folding screen changes to the half-folded state 2, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying the AOD content according to the half-folded state 2. For details, please refer to the introduction of step S912 in the foregoing Figure 9

[0273] For example, in the half-folded state 2, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying the AOD content as the display area corresponding to the A screen, power up the A screen, display the AOD content on the A screen, and keep the B screen and the C screen in a powered-down state.

[0274] ​​The embodiment of the present application does not limit the display area of the electronic device 100 for displaying the AOD content for the first time after the folding state of the folding screen changes to the half-folded state 2. For example, when the folding state of the folding screen changes to the half-folded state 2, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying the AOD content as the top area of the A screen. The electronic device 100 can only power on the top area of the A screen, display the AOD content on the top area of the A screen, and keep the area of the A screen without AOD content display, the B screen and the C screen in the power-off state.

[0275] As shown in FIG. 1A, the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state, and the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the B screen. The B screen is in the power-on state, and the A screen and the C screen are in the power-off state. As the angle α between the A screen and the B screen decreases and the angle β between the B screen and the C screen decreases, the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the stand state 1. Figure 10B As can be seen, as the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 2, the electronic device 100 can change the display position of the AOD content. For example, the display position of the AOD content can change from the center of the B screen to the center of the A screen.

[0276] As can be understood, as β increases, the folding state of the folding screen can change from the half-folded state 2 to the stand state 3, and the electronic device 100 can power off the display area displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 and keep the display area not displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 in the power-off state. Figure 10B As can be understood, as β increases, the folding state of the folding screen can change from the half-folded state 2 to the stand state 3, and the electronic device 100 can power off the display area displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 and keep the display area not displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 in the power-off state.

[0277] As shown in FIG. 1A, the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state, and the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the B screen. The B screen is in the power-on state, and the A screen and the C screen are in the power-off state. As the angle α between the A screen and the B screen decreases and the angle β between the B screen and the C screen decreases, the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the stand state 1. Figure 10C As can be understood, as β increases, the folding state of the folding screen can change from the half-folded state 2 to the stand state 3, and the electronic device 100 can power off the display area displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 and keep the display area not displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 in the power-off state.

[0278] As can be understood, as β increases, the folding state of the folding screen can change from the half-folded state 2 to the stand state 3, and the electronic device 100 can power off the display area displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 and keep the display area not displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 in the power-off state.

[0279] As can be understood, as β increases, the folding state of the folding screen can change from the half-folded state 2 to the stand state 3, and the electronic device 100 can power off the display area displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 and keep the display area not displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 in the power-off state.

[0280] The angle a and the angle β are continuously reduced. When the angle a and the angle β are reduced to close to 0° or are reduced to 0°, the folding state of the folding screen changes from the support state 1 to the completely folded state.

[0281] When the folding state of the folding screen changes to the completely folded state, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying the AOD content according to the completely folded state. For details, reference can be made to the foregoing description of step S912. Figure 9

[0282] For example, in the completely folded state, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying the AOD content as the display area corresponding to the A screen, the electronic device 100 can power on the A screen, display the AOD content on the A screen, and keep the B screen and the C screen in the powered-off state. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the display area of the electronic device 100 for displaying the AOD content for the first time after the folding state changes to the completely folded state.

[0283] As shown in Figure 10C It can be seen that, as the folding state of the folding screen changes from the completely unfolded state to the completely folded state, the electronic device 100 can change the display position of the AOD content. For example, the display position of the AOD content can change from the center of the B screen to the center of the A screen.

[0284] It can be understood that, when the angle a and the angle β are both increased, the folding state of the folding screen can change from the completely folded state shown in Figure 10C The electronic device 100 can power off the display area displaying the AOD content in the completely folded state, and keep the display area not displaying the AOD content in the completely folded state in the powered-off state. The above-mentioned display area displaying the AOD content in the completely folded state can be any area on the A screen. Further, when the angle a and the angle β are continuously increased so that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the support state 1 to the completely unfolded state, the electronic device 100 powers on the B screen, displays the AOD content on the B screen, and keeps the A screen and the C screen in the powered-off state.

[0285] As shown in Figure 10D When the folding screen is in the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content at the center position of the display screen composed of the B screen and the C screen. Among them, the B screen and the C screen are in the powered-on state, and the A screen is in the powered-off state. As the angle β between the B screen and the C screen decreases, the folding state of the folding screen changes from the half-folded state 1 to the support state 4.

[0286] Among them, when the folding state of the folding screen changes to the support state 4, the electronic device 100 can power off the B screen and the C screen, and keep the A screen in the powered-off state. That is to say, in the support state 4, the folding screen of the electronic device 100 is turned off, and the A screen, the B screen and the C screen are all in the powered-off state. ​

[0287] It should be noted that when the folding screen changes from the semi-folded state 1 to the support state 4, the electronic device 100 can power down the display area displaying AOD content in the semi-folded state 1, and keep the display area not displaying AOD content in the semi-folded state 1 powered down. The aforementioned display area displaying AOD content in the semi-folded state 1 can be any area on the B screen or C screen.

[0288] The angle β between screen B and screen C continues to decrease. When β decreases to near 0° or to 0°, the folding state of the foldable screen changes from support state 4 to fully folded state.

[0289] When the foldable screen changes from a folded state to a fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying AOD content based on the fully folded state. See the foregoing for details. Figure 9 Introduction to step S912.

[0290] For example, in the fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can determine that the display area for displaying AOD content is the display area corresponding to screen A. The electronic device 100 can power on screen A, display AOD content on screen A, and keep screens B and C in the power-off state.

[0291] Depend on Figure 10D As can be seen, as the folding state of the folding screen changes from the semi-folded state 1 to the fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can change the display position of the AOD content. For example, the display position of the AOD content can change from the center of the display screen composed of screens B and C to the center of screen A.

[0292] Understandably, as the included angle β increases, the folding state of the foldable screen can change from... Figure 10D The fully folded state shown is the support state 4. The electronic device 100 can power down the display area displaying AOD content in the fully folded state and keep the display area without AOD content in the fully folded state powered down. The aforementioned display area displaying AOD content in the fully folded state can be any area on screen A. Further, as the included angle β continues to increase, causing the folding state of the folding screen to change from support state 4 to semi-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can power on screens B and C, displaying AOD content at the center of the display screen composed of screens B and C, while keeping screen A powered down.

[0293] From the above scenarios, the display position of the AOD content can change with the change of the folding state. The user can change the display position of the AOD by changing the folding state of the folding screen. In this way, the interactivity of the AOD content can be improved. In addition, in the above scenario of changing the display position of the AOD content according to the change of the folding state, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area that needs to display the AOD content and power off the display area that does not need to display the AOD content. In this way, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be reduced.

[0294] Figures 11A-11C Some scenarios of the screen-off display are exemplarily shown.

[0295] As Figure 11A shown, when the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on any area on the A screen, the B screen, and the C screen. The electronic device 100 can power on the display area that displays the AOD content and power off the display area that displays the AOD content. For example, the electronic device can display the AOD content on the B screen. Among them, the B screen is in the powered-on state, and the A screen and the C screen are in the powered-off state. As the included angle a between the A screen and the B screen decreases, the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the stand state 2.

[0296] As a gradually decreases, the folding state of the folding screen eventually changes to the half-folded state 1. That is, the stand state 2 is an intermediate state in the process of changing the folding screen from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 1. When the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying the AOD content according to the half-folded state 1. For details, please refer to the foregoing Figure 9 introduction of step S912. For example, in the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can determine that the display area for displaying the AOD content is the display area corresponding to the B screen and the C screen.

[0297] In the process of changing the folding state of the folding screen from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the display area that displays the AOD content in the fully unfolded state to the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 1. And the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content moving. Optionally, in the above process of moving the AOD content, the electronic device 100 can play corresponding audio to provide the user with a transition sound effect of the AOD content moving.

[0298] In some embodiments, when the folding state of the folding screen starts to change from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 1, the display area on which the AOD content needs to move from the display area displaying the AOD content in the fully unfolded state to the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 1, and keep the display area displaying the AOD content in the fully unfolded state in the powered-on state. Further, after the AOD content is completely moved into the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can power off the display area on which the AOD content is not displayed.

[0299] Alternatively, in the process of moving the AOD content and playing the animation of the movement of the AOD content, the electronic device 100 can power on the display areas in which the AOD content needs to be displayed in sequence according to the order of the need to display the AOD content, and power off the display areas from which the AOD content moves.

[0300] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 8B, the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the stand state 2, which can represent that the folding state starts to change from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 1. When the folding state of the folding screen changes to the stand state 2, the electronic device 100 can determine that the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 1 is the central area of the display screen composed of the B screen and the C screen. Therefore, the electronic device 100 can power on the C screen, keep the B screen in the powered-on state, and keep the A screen in the powered-off state. Figure 11A In the process of gradually reducing the included angle α, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content, for example, the animation of the butterfly image moving from the B screen to the central area of the display screen composed of the B screen and the C screen.

[0301] When the included angle α is reduced to close to 0° or reduced to 0°, the folding state of the folding screen changes to the half-folded state 1, and the AOD content moves to the central area of the display screen composed of the B screen and the C screen. The electronic device 100 can keep the B screen and the C screen in the powered-on state, and keep the A screen in the powered-off state.

[0302] As can be seen from

[0303] , in the process of changing the folding state of the folding screen from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 1, the user can watch the AOD content gradually moving from the currently displayed position to the central area of the display screen composed of the B screen and the C screen. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The user can watch the animation of the butterfly flying. Among them, the butterfly can fly from the B screen to the right to the center of the display screen composed of the B screen and the C screen. Figure 11A

[0304] ​Understandably, as the included angle α increases, the folding state of the folding screen can change from a semi-folded state 1 to a fully unfolded state. During the transition from the semi-folded state 1 to the fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the display area where the AOD content was displayed in the semi-folded state 1 to the display area where the AOD content is displayed in the fully unfolded state. Furthermore, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content movement. The timing of powering on or off the display area of ​​the folding screen during the AOD content movement can be referenced from the aforementioned description of powering on or off the display area during the transition from the fully unfolded state to the semi-folded state 1.

[0305] For example, when the folding screen changes from a half-folded state 1 to a stand-up state 2, the electronic device 100 can keep screens B and C powered on and move the AOD content from the center area of ​​the display screen composed of screens B and C towards the center area of ​​screen B. When the folding screen changes from a stand-up state 2 to a fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can power off screen C, keep screen B powered on, and keep screen A powered off. The electronic device 100 can then display the AOD content in the center area of ​​screen B. This allows the user to see the AOD content gradually moving from the center area of ​​the display screen composed of screens B and C to the center area of ​​screen B. For example, the AOD content might include a butterfly image. The user can watch an animation of a butterfly flying. The butterfly can fly from the center of the display screen composed of screens B and C to the center of screen B.

[0306] like Figure 11B As shown, the foldable screen is in its fully unfolded state. The electronic device 100 can display AOD content on screen B. Screen B is powered on, while screens A and C are powered off. When the foldable screen is in its fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can display AOD content in any area of ​​screens A, B, or C, not limited to screen B. As the angle β between screens B and C decreases, the folding state of the foldable screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the support state 3.

[0307] As β gradually decreases, the folding state of the folding screen eventually changes to a semi-folded state 2. That is, the support state 3 is an intermediate state in the process of the folding screen changing from the fully unfolded state to the semi-folded state 2. When the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the semi-folded state 2, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying AOD content based on the semi-folded state 2. For details, please refer to the aforementioned... Figure 9 The following describes step S912. For example, in the semi-folded state 2, the electronic device 100 can determine that the display area used to display AOD content is the display area corresponding to screen A.

[0308] In a process that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 2, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the display area displaying the AOD content in the fully unfolded state to the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2. And the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content moving. Optionally, in the process of the AOD content moving, the electronic device 100 can play corresponding audio to provide the user with a transition sound effect of the AOD content moving.

[0309] In some embodiments, when the folding state of the folding screen starts to change from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 2, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2, and the display area that the AOD content needs to move from the display area displaying the AOD content in the fully unfolded state to the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2, and keep the display area displaying the AOD content in the fully unfolded state in the powered-on state. Further, after the AOD content is completely moved into the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2, the electronic device 100 can power off the display area that does not display the AOD content.

[0310] Alternatively, in the process of moving the AOD content and playing the animation of the AOD content moving, the electronic device 100 can power on the display areas that need to display the AOD content in turn according to the order of the display areas that need to display the AOD content, and power off the display areas that the AOD content moves out of.

[0311] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 11B The folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the stand state 3, which can represent that the folding state starts to change from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 2. When the folding state of the folding screen changes to the stand state 3, the electronic device 100 can determine that the display area for displaying the AOD content in the half-folded state 2 is the display area corresponding to the A screen. Therefore, the electronic device 100 can power on the A screen, keep the B screen in the powered-on state, and keep the B screen in the powered-off state.

[0312] In the process that the included angle β gradually decreases, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content, such as a butterfly image, moving from the B screen to the A screen.

[0313] When the included angle β decreases to close to 0° or decreases to 0°, the folding state of the folding screen changes to the half-folded state 2, and the AOD content moves to the A screen. The electronic device 100 can keep the A screen in the powered-on state, power off the B screen, and keep the C screen in the powered-off state.

[0314] By Figure 11BAs can be seen, during the transition from the fully unfolded state to the semi-folded state 2 of the foldable screen, the user can watch the AOD content gradually move from its current display position to screen A. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The user can watch an animation of the butterfly flying. The butterfly can fly from screen B to screen A from the left.

[0315] Understandably, as the angle β increases, the folding state of the folding screen can change from a semi-folded state 2 to a fully unfolded state. During the transition from the semi-folded state 2 to the fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the display area where the AOD content was displayed in the semi-folded state 2 to the display area used to display the AOD content in the fully unfolded state. Furthermore, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content movement. The timing of powering on or off the display area of ​​the folding screen during the AOD content movement can be referenced from the aforementioned description of powering on or off the display area during the transition from the fully unfolded state to the semi-folded state 2.

[0316] For example, when the folding screen changes from a half-folded state (2) to a support state (3), the electronic device 100 can power on screen B, keep screen A powered on, and move the AOD content from screen A to screen B. When the folding screen changes from a support state (3) to a fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can power off screen A, keep screen B powered on, and keep screen C powered off. The electronic device 100 can display the AOD content in the center area of ​​screen B. This allows the user to watch the AOD content gradually move from screen A to screen B. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The user can watch an animation of the butterfly flying. The butterfly can fly from screen A to screen B from right to left.

[0317] like Figure 11C As shown, the folding screen is in its fully unfolded state. The electronic device 100 can display AOD content on screen C. Screen C is powered on. Screens A and B are powered off. When the folding screen is in its fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can display AOD content in any area of ​​screens A, B, or C, not limited to screen C. As the angle α between screens A and B, and the angle β between screens B and C, decreases, the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the support state 1.

[0318] As α and β gradually decrease, the folding state of the folding screen eventually changes to a fully folded state. That is, support state 1 is an intermediate state in the process of the folding screen changing from a fully unfolded state to a fully folded state. When the folding screen changes from a fully unfolded state to a fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can determine the display area for displaying AOD content based on the fully folded state. See the foregoing for details. Figure 9The following describes step S912. For example, in the fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can determine that the display area for displaying AOD content is the display area corresponding to screen A.

[0319] During the transition of the foldable screen from a fully unfolded state to a fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD (Always-On Display) content from the display area where AOD content is displayed in the fully unfolded state to the display area where AOD content is displayed in the fully folded state. Furthermore, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content movement. Optionally, during the aforementioned AOD content movement, the electronic device 100 can play corresponding audio to provide the user with transition sound effects for the AOD content movement.

[0320] In some embodiments, when the folding state of the foldable screen begins to change from a fully unfolded state to a fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area used to display AOD content in the fully folded state, and the display area that the AOD content needs to pass through to move from the display area displaying AOD content in the fully unfolded state to the display area used to display AOD content in the fully folded state, and keep the display area displaying AOD content in the fully unfolded state powered on. Further, after the AOD content has completely moved into the display area used to display AOD content in the fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can power off the display areas that do not display AOD content.

[0321] Alternatively, during the process of moving AOD content and playing the animation of AOD content movement, the electronic device 100 can sequentially power on the display areas where AOD content needs to be displayed and power off the display areas where AOD content has been moved out, according to the order in which the AOD content needs to be displayed.

[0322] For example, such as Figure 11C As shown, the change from the fully unfolded state to the support state 1 of the folding screen indicates the start of the transition from the fully unfolded state to the fully folded state. When the folding screen changes to the support state 1, the electronic device 100 can determine that the display area used to display AOD content in the fully folded state is the display area corresponding to screen A. Therefore, the electronic device 100 can power on screens A and B, and keep screen C powered on. Screen B is the display area that AOD content needs to pass through to move from screen C to screen A.

[0323] As the included angles α and β gradually decrease, the electronic device 100 can display AOD content, such as a butterfly image or an animation of a butterfly moving from screen C to screen A.

[0324] When the included angle a and the included angle β decrease to close to 0° or decrease to 0°, the folding state of the folding screen changes to a fully folded state, and the AOD content moves to the A screen. The electronic device 100 can keep the A screen in the powered-on state and power off the B screen and the C screen.

[0325] By Figure 11C As can be seen, in the process of changing the folding state of the folding screen from the fully unfolded state to the fully folded state, the user can watch the AOD content gradually move from the currently displayed position to the A screen. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The user can watch the animation of the butterfly flying. Wherein, the butterfly can fly from the C screen to the left, pass through the B screen, and fly to the A screen.

[0326] It can be understood that when the included angle a and the included angle β both increase, the folding state of the folding screen can change from the fully folded state to the fully unfolded state. In the process of changing from the fully folded state to the fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the display area displaying the AOD content in the fully folded state to the display area for displaying the AOD content in the fully unfolded state. And the electronic device 100 can display the animation of the AOD content moving. The timing of the electronic device 100 powering on or powering off the display area of the folding screen during the movement of the AOD content can refer to the foregoing introduction of powering on or powering off the display area in the process of changing from the fully unfolded state to the fully folded state.

[0327] For example, when the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the stand state 1, the electronic device 100 can power on the B screen, keep the A screen in the powered-on state, and move the AOD content from the A screen to the B screen. When the folding state of the folding screen changes from the stand state 1 to the fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can power off the A screen, keep the B screen in the powered-on state, and keep the C screen in the powered-off state. The electronic device 100 can display the AOD content on the center area of the B screen. In this way, the user can watch the AOD content gradually move from the A screen to the B screen. For example, the AOD content includes a butterfly image. The user can watch the animation of the butterfly flying. Wherein, the butterfly can fly from the A screen to the right to the B screen.

[0328] In the process of changing the folding state from the half-folded state 1 to the fully folded state, or from the fully folded state to the half-folded state 1, or from the half-folded state 2 to the fully folded state, or from the fully folded state to the half-folded state 2, or from the half-folded state 1 to the half-folded state 2, or from the half-folded state 2 to the half-folded state 1, the method of the electronic device 100 moving the AOD content display position can refer to the foregoing Figures 11A-11C introduction. Here, it will not be described again.

[0329] From the above scenarios, the display position of the AOD content can change with the change of the folding state. And in the process of changing the folding state, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content moving in the corresponding display area. The user can intuitively see the process of the AOD content moving when changing the folding state of the folding screen. This can improve the interactivity of the AOD content. In addition, in the above scenario of changing the display position of the AOD content according to the change of the folding state, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area where the AOD content needs to be displayed, and power off the display area where the AOD content does not need to be displayed. In this way, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be reduced.

[0330] Figure 12 An exemplary flowchart of a screen-out display method provided by the present application is shown.

[0331] S1211, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content in the display area b1, and the display areas other than the display area b1 are in a powered-off state, and the folding screen is in a folding state 1.

[0332] The display area b1 can be any area for displaying the AOD content when the folding screen is in the folding state 1.

[0333] The folding state 1 can be one of a fully unfolded state, a half-folded state 1, a half-folded state 2, and a fully folded state.

[0334] For example, if the folding state 1 is a fully unfolded state, the display area b1 can be any area on the A screen, the B screen, or the C screen.

[0335] If the folding state 1 is a half-folded state 1, the display area b1 can be any area on the B screen and the C screen.

[0336] If the folding state 1 is a half-folded state 2 or a fully folded state, the display area b1 can be any area on the A screen.

[0337] The size of the display area b1 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the size of the display area b1 can be the same as the size of the A screen or the B screen or the C screen. Alternatively, the size of the display area b1 can be smaller than the size of the A screen or the B screen or the C screen.

[0338] S1212, the electronic device 100 detects that the folding state of the folding screen changes to a folding state 2, and determines that the display area for performing screen-out display according to the folding state 2 is a display area b2.

[0339] The folding state 2 can be one of a fully unfolded state, a half-folded state 1, a half-folded state 2, and a fully folded state. The folding state 2 is different from the folding state 1.

[0340] For example, if the folding state 2 is the fully unfolded state, the display area b2 can be any area on the A screen, the B screen, or the C screen.

[0341] If the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 1, the display area b2 can be any area on the B screen and the C screen.

[0342] If the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 2 or the fully folded state, the display area b2 can be any area on the A screen.

[0343] Embodiments of the present application do not limit the size of the display area b2. For example, the size of the display area b2 can be the same as the size of the A screen or the B screen or the C screen. Alternatively, the size of the display area b2 can be smaller than the size of the A screen or the B screen or the C screen.

[0344] In some embodiments, in a case where the folding state 1 is the fully unfolded state, if the included angle a between the A screen and the B screen decreases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 1 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 1). In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully unfolded state, if the included angle b between the B screen and the C screen decreases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the half-folded state 2 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 2). In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully unfolded state, if both the included angle a and the included angle b decrease, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully unfolded state to the fully folded state (i.e., the folding state 2 is the fully folded state).

[0345] In a case where the folding state 1 is the half-folded state 1, if the included angle a increases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the half-folded state 1 to the fully unfolded state (i.e., the folding state 2 is the fully unfolded state). In a case where the folding state 1 is the half-folded state 1, if the included angle b decreases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the half-folded state 1 to the fully folded state (i.e., the folding state 2 is the fully folded state). In a case where the folding state 1 is the half-folded state 1, if the included angle a increases and the included angle b decreases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the half-folded state 1 to the half-folded state 2 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 2).

[0346] In a case where the folding state 1 is the half-folded state 2, if the included angle β increases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the half-folded state 2 to the fully unfolded state (i.e., the folding state 2 is the fully unfolded state). In a case where the folding state 1 is the half-folded state 2, if the included angle α decreases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the half-folded state 2 to the fully folded state (i.e., the folding state 2 is the fully folded state). In a case where the folding state 1 is the half-folded state 2, if the included angle α decreases and the included angle β increases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the half-folded state 2 to the half-folded state 1 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 1).

[0347] In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully folded state, if both the included angle α and the included angle β increase, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the fully unfolded state (i.e., the folding state 2 is the fully unfolded state). In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully folded state, if the included angle β increases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the half-folded state 1 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 1). In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully folded state, if the included angle α increases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the half-folded state 2 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 2).

[0348] In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully folded state, if both the included angle α and the included angle β increase, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the fully unfolded state (i.e., the folding state 2 is the fully unfolded state). In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully folded state, if the included angle β increases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the half-folded state 1 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 1). In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully folded state, if the included angle α increases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the half-folded state 2 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 2).

[0349] In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully folded state, if both the included angle α and the included angle β increase, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the fully unfolded state (i.e., the folding state 2 is the fully unfolded state). In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully folded state, if the included angle β increases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the half-folded state 1 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 1). In a case where the folding state 1 is the fully folded state, if the included angle α increases, the electronic device 100 can determine that the folding state of the folding screen changes from the fully folded state to the half-folded state 2 (i.e., the folding state 2 is the half-folded state 2).

[0350] In some embodiments, when the folding state of the folding screen changes to any one of the support states 1-5, the electronic device 100 can power down all display areas of the folding screen (including maintaining the power-down state of the display areas that are already in the power-down state). When the folding state of the folding screen changes to the folding state 2, the electronic device 100 can power up the display area b2, display AOD content on the display area b2, and maintain the power-down state of other display areas other than the display area b2. For details, please refer to the foregoing introduction of the scenario. Figures 10A-10D

[0351] ​In some embodiments, when the folding state of the folding screen is detected to change from folding state 1 to folding state 2, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area b2, the display area on which the AOD content needs to pass to move from the display area b1 to the display area b2, and keep the display area b1 in the powered-on state. The electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content moving from the display area b1 to the display area b2. After the above-mentioned animation is played, the electronic device 100 powers off the display areas in the powered-on state except the display area b2. Among them, the electronic device 100 can keep the display areas in which the AOD content is not displayed in the powered-off state. For details, please refer to the foregoing Figures 11A-11C introduction of the scenario.

[0352] Alternatively, in the process of moving the AOD content from the display area b1 to the display area b2, the electronic device 100 can power on the display areas in which the AOD content needs to be displayed in the order of the AOD content in turn, and power off the display areas from which the AOD content moves out. For example, the AOD content moves from the display area b1 to the display area b2 through the display area b3. When the AOD content is all displayed in the display area b1, only the display area b1 in the electronic device 100 can be in the powered-on state. When the AOD content moves to the display area b3 where it needs to be displayed, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area b3. When the AOD content is completely moved from the display area b1 to the display area b3, the electronic device 100 can power off the display area b1. Then, when the AOD content moves to the display area b2 where it needs to be displayed, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area b2. When the AOD content is completely moved from the display area b3 to the display area b2, the electronic device 100 can power off the display area b3. For other display areas except the display area b1, the display area b2 and the display area b3, the electronic device 100 can always keep them in the powered-off state in the process of moving the AOD content to the display area b2.

[0353] From the above method, it can be known that the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content according to the change of the folding state. And in the process of changing the folding state, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content moving in the corresponding display area. The user can intuitively see the process of the AOD content moving when changing the folding state of the folding screen. In this way, the interactivity of the AOD content can be improved. In addition, in the above-mentioned scenario of changing the display position of the AOD content according to the change of the folding state, the electronic device 100 can power on the display areas in which the AOD content needs to be displayed, and power off the display areas in which the AOD content does not need to be displayed. In this way, not only the power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be reduced, but also the damage of the display screen caused by being in the powered-on state for a long time can be reduced.

[0354] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can detect whether the AOD follow-up feature identifier exists when the electronic device 100 is powered on for the first time. The AOD follow-up feature identifier can be used to indicate that the electronic device 100 supports moving the AOD content to any display area on the display screen according to the event for triggering the AOD content movement in the screen-off display state. If the AOD follow-up feature identifier exists in the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 can configure the related parameters for controlling the AOD content movement, and provide a switch for turning on / off the AOD follow-up feature. In this way, the user can turn on / off the AOD follow-up feature as needed.

[0355] Figure 13 An exemplary flowchart of a screen-off display method provided by the present application is shown.

[0356] S1311, the electronic device 100 receives a power-on operation.

[0357] The power-on operation can be the first power-on operation after the electronic device 100 is factory-finished. For example, the power-on operation can be the operation of pressing the power key for a long time.

[0358] The electronic device 100 can provide a first power-on navigation for the user to set the information such as the language to be used, the user name, the device unlocking password, etc. when the electronic device 100 is powered on for the first time.

[0359] In some embodiments, in response to the power-on operation, the electronic device 100 can determine the folding state of the folding screen by using the magnetic sensor, and then determine the display screen for displaying the user interface (such as the power-on navigation interface) after the electronic device 100 is powered on. The method for determining the folding state by using the magnetic sensor can refer to the foregoing description of step S912. Figure 9

[0360] For example, if the folding screen is in the fully unfolded state, the electronic device 100 can regard the A screen, the B screen and the C screen as one complete display screen, and display the user interface after the power-on on the display screen composed of the A screen, the B screen and the C screen.

[0361] If the folding screen is in the half-folded state 1, the electronic device 100 can regard the B screen and the C screen as one complete display screen, and display the user interface after the power-on on the display screen composed of the B screen and the C screen. The A screen can be in the powered-off state.

[0362] If the folding screen is in the half-folded state 2 or the fully folded state, the electronic device 100 can display the user interface after the power-on on the A screen. The B screen and the C screen can be in the powered-off state.

[0363] S1312, when the AOD follow-up feature identifier exists, the electronic device 100 can configure the partition power-off feature parameters, and the partition power-off parameters include the instructions for powering on / powering off the multiple display areas respectively.​

[0364] In the process of first booting, the electronic device 100 can detect whether there is an AOD follow-up feature identifier. If the electronic device 100 supports moving AOD content to any display area on the display screen according to an event for triggering AOD content movement in the screen-off display state, the electronic device 100 can write the AOD follow-up feature identifier in the memory before leaving the factory. The value of the AOD follow-up feature identifier is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0365] When the AOD follow-up feature identifier exists in the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 can configure related parameters for controlling AOD content movement, for example, partition power-off feature parameters. The electronic device 100 can use the partition power-off feature parameters to power on the display area where AOD content needs to be displayed, and power off the display area where AOD content does not need to be displayed.

[0366] The related parameters for controlling AOD content movement can also include information of display areas for displaying AOD content in different folding states, etc.

[0367] The electronic device 100 configuring the related parameters for controlling AOD content movement can include loading the related parameters for controlling AOD content movement to the memory. In this way, the AOD application in the electronic device 100 can read the power-on / power-off instructions from the memory to control the display screen partition power-off.

[0368] S1313, the electronic device 100 can provide a switch for turning on or off the AOD follow-up feature.

[0369] When the AOD follow-up feature identifier exists in the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 can provide a switch for turning on or off the AOD follow-up feature in the process of first booting navigation. In this way, the user can turn on or off the AOD follow-up feature when the electronic device 100 is first booted.

[0370] The electronic device 100 can also provide a switch for turning on or off the AOD follow-up feature in the user interface of the settings application. After the end of the first booting navigation, the user can find the switch for turning on or off the AOD follow-up feature in the user interface of the settings application, so as to turn on or off the AOD follow-up feature.

[0371] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can store a mode flag of the AOD follow-up feature. The mode flag can indicate whether the AOD follow-up feature is enabled. In some embodiments, the mode flag can be empty if the user does not set the switch state of the AOD follow-up feature (for example, the user skips the stage of setting the switch state of the AOD follow-up feature during the first boot navigation). If the user enables the AOD follow-up feature, the electronic device 100 can assign a value to the mode flag. The value of the mode flag can be a value corresponding to the enabled AOD follow-up feature, for example, the value is 1. If the user disables the AOD follow-up feature, the electronic device 100 can assign a value to the mode flag. The value of the mode flag can be a value corresponding to the disabled AOD follow-up feature, for example, the value is -1. The value of the mode flag is only an example of the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0372] The electronic device 100 can determine whether the AOD follow-up feature is enabled according to the mode flag of the AOD follow-up feature.

[0373] S1314, when the AOD follow-up feature is enabled, the electronic device 100 can move the display of the AOD content according to one or more of the folding state change of the folding screen, the change of the gaze direction of the human eye, and the display area affected by the touch operation after the screen is turned off.

[0374] In the case where the AOD follow-up feature is enabled, the scenarios in which the electronic device 100 moves the display of the AOD content can refer to the descriptions of the foregoing Figures 4A-4E 、 Figures 5A-5C 、 Figures 6A-6E 、 Figures 7A-7C 、 Figures 8A-8E 、 Figures 10A-10D 、 Figures 11A-11C .

[0375] S1315, when the AOD follow-up feature is disabled, the electronic device 100 can display the AOD content in a preset display area after the screen is turned off, and power down other display areas other than the preset display area.

[0376] In the case where the AOD follow-up feature is disabled, the electronic device 100 can not need to detect events for triggering the movement of the AOD content, so as not to move the AOD content.

[0377] It should be noted that in the case of non-first boot, the electronic device 100 can not need to perform the above step S1312. After the electronic device 100 is booted, the electronic device 100 can read the parameters for controlling the movement of the AOD content configured during the first boot, and provide the function of the AOD follow-up feature for the user by using the above parameters.

[0378] As can be seen from the above method, the electronic device 100 can be configured with relevant parameters for controlling the movement of AOD content upon initial power-on to support the AOD follow-up feature. Thus, when the AOD follow-up feature is enabled, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content across any display area of ​​the screen based on events that trigger the movement of the AOD content, thereby improving the interactivity of the AOD content.

[0379] Figure 14 An example is shown of a scenario where the AOD follow-up feature provided in this application is enabled / disabled.

[0380] like Figure 14 As shown, the electronic device 100 can display a user interface 1410. The user interface 1410 may include a switch 1411 and a prompt message 1412.

[0381] Switch 1411 can be used to turn the AOD follow-up characteristic on or off. Figure 14 The indicated on state indicates that the electronic device 100 currently has its AOD (Ahead-of-Date) follow-up feature enabled. When switch 1411 is in the on state, in response to an operation on switch 1411, such as a click operation, the electronic device 100 can change the state of switch 1411 to the off state and disable the AOD follow-up feature. This application embodiment does not limit the on and off states of switch 1411.

[0382] The prompt message 1412 can be used to prompt the user on how to use the AOD (Away From Distance) tracking feature. For example, the prompt message 1412 can prompt the user to move the AOD content by changing the direction of their gaze or touching the display screen. This application embodiment does not limit the specific content of the prompt message 1412.

[0383] As can be seen from the above scenarios, users can enable or disable the AOD follow-up feature as needed.

[0384] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can be connected to an extended display screen. The electronic device 100 can move AOD content to the extended display screen.

[0385] Figure 15 A schematic diagram of a communication system provided in this application is shown.

[0386] like Figure 15 As shown, the communication system may include an electronic device 100 and one or more extended displays. The electronic device 100 may be configured with one or more displays, such as display 1, display 2, etc. Display 1 and display 2 may be displays integrated into the electronic device 100. The integrated displays of the electronic device 100 may be integrated into a separate and complete device along with the processor, audio output device, and other components of the electronic device 100. For example, as described above...Figure 1A The A screen, the B screen and the C screen shown can be display screens of the electronic device 100.

[0387] The electronic device 100 can establish a communication connection with one or more extended display screens. For example, the extended display screens connected by the electronic device 100 can include an extended display screen 1, an extended display screen 2, and the like. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the method of establishing a communication connection between the electronic device 100 and the extended display screen.

[0388] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 establishes a communication connection with other devices having display screens. The electronic device 100 can serve as a master device and use the display screens of the devices that establish a communication connection with the electronic device 100 as extended display screens. The electronic device 100 can control the display content on the extended display screens. For example, a mobile phone can be connected to a tablet computer. The display screen of the tablet computer can serve as an extended display screen of the mobile phone.

[0389] The electronic device 100 can move the AOD content on any area of the display screen of the electronic device 100 and the extended display screen according to an event for triggering the movement of the AOD content.

[0390] Figure 16 An example flowchart of the screen-off display method provided by the present application is shown.

[0391] S1611, the electronic device 100 detects a screen-off event. The electronic device 100 includes k display screens, which include the display screen of the electronic device 100 and / or the extended display screen.

[0392] k is a positive integer.

[0393] For example, the k display screens include the aforementioned Figure 1A The A screen, the B screen and the C screen shown. The k display screens also include one or more extended display screens controlled by the electronic device 100 to display.

[0394] S1612, the electronic device 100 displays AOD content on display screen 1 of the k display screens according to a preset AOD theme. When the display screen 1 displays the AOD content, the other display screens except the display screen 1 are in a powered-off state.

[0395] The display screen 1 can be any one of the k display screens.

[0396] S1613, when the user gazes at the display screen 2, the electronic device 100 powers on the display screen 2 and moves the AOD content from the display screen 1 to the display screen 2. When the display screen 2 displays the AOD content, the other display screens except the display screen 2 are in a powered-off state.

[0397] The display screen 2 can be any one of the k display screens, and the display screen 2 is different from the display screen 1.

[0398] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can collect images through a camera in the electronic device 100, for example, the front camera shown arranged on the A screen. Optionally, the electronic device 100 establishes a communication connection with an image collection device. The electronic device 100 can obtain images collected by the image collection device. The electronic device 100 can determine the gaze direction of the human eye according to the above-mentioned images. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the image collection device for determining the gaze direction of the human eye. Figure 1A

[0399] When it is detected that the human eye gazes at the display screen 2, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the display screen 1 to the display screen 2.

[0400] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can display an animation corresponding to the movement of the AOD content from the display screen 1 to the display screen 2. In this case, in addition to powering on the display screen 2, the electronic device 100 can also power on the display screens that need to be passed through in the process of moving the AOD content from the display screen 1 to the display screen 2. After the above-mentioned animation corresponding to the movement of the AOD content from the display screen 1 to the display screen 2 is played, the electronic device 100 can power off the display screens that are in the powered-on state except the display screen 2. In this case, the electronic device 100 can keep the display screens that do not need to display the AOD content in the powered-off state.

[0401] Alternatively, in the process of moving the AOD content from the display screen 1 to the display screen 2, the electronic device 100 can power on the display screens that need to display the AOD content in the order of the need to display the AOD content, and power off the display screens from which the AOD content is moved.

[0402] S1614, the electronic device 100 receives a click operation acting on the display screen 3.

[0403] The display screen 3 can be any one of the k display screens, and the display screen 3 is different from the display screen 1.

[0404] In some embodiments, the display screen 3 can be provided with a touch sensor. The electronic device 100 can detect the click operation acting on the display screen 3 through the touch sensor on the display screen 3.

[0405] In the case that the AOD content is displayed on the display screen 1, in response to the click operation acting on the display screen 3, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the display screen 1 to the display screen 3.

[0406] ​S1615, the electronic device 100 powers on the display screen 3, moves the AOD content from the display screen 1 to the display screen 3, and when the display screen 3 displays the AOD content, the other display screens except the display screen 3 are in the powered-off state.

[0407] The method in which the electronic device 100 moves the AOD content from the display screen 1 to the display screen 3 can refer to the method in which the AOD content is moved from the display screen 1 to the display screen 2 in the foregoing step S1613. Details are not repeated here.

[0408] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can detect whether the k display screens support partitioned power-off. That a display screen supports partitioned power-off can mean that in the case that a part of the display screen is in the powered-on state, another part of the display screen can be in the powered-off state. The AOD content can only occupy a part of the display area of a display screen. If the k display screens support partitioned power-off, the electronic device 100 can power on the display area of a display screen on which the AOD content is displayed, and power off the other display area of the display screen on which the AOD content is not displayed. In this way, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 in the screen-off display state can be better reduced, and the damage of the display screen caused by being in the powered-on state for a long time can be reduced.

[0409] For example, the display screen 1 supports partitioned power-off. In the foregoing step S1612, in addition to powering off the other display screens except the display screen 1, the electronic device 100 can also power off the display area of the display screen 1 on which the AOD content is not displayed. That is, the electronic device 100 can only power on the display area of the display screen 1 on which the AOD content is displayed.

[0410] The display screen 2 supports partitioned power-off. In the foregoing step S1613, the electronic device 100 powers on the display screen 2, specifically, powers on the part of the display area of the display screen 2 on which the AOD content needs to be displayed. When the part of the display area of the display screen 2 displays the AOD content, the display area of the display screen 2 on which the AOD content is not displayed, and the other display screens except the display screen 2 can be in the powered-off state.

[0411] The display screen 3 supports partitioned power-off. In the foregoing step S1615, the electronic device 100 powers on the display screen 3, specifically, powers on the part of the display area of the display screen 3 on which the AOD content needs to be displayed. When the part of the display area of the display screen 3 displays the AOD content, the display area of the display screen 3 on which the AOD content is not displayed, and the other display screens except the display screen 3 can be in the powered-off state.

[0412] The electronic device 100 can move the AOD content between different display regions of one display screen according to an event for triggering the AOD content movement. This can improve the accuracy of the AOD content position movement and better improve the user interaction with the AOD content.

[0413] Not limited to moving the AOD content on the k display screens according to the human eye fixation area and / or the touch operation of the user on the display screen, the electronic device 100 can also move the AOD content according to other rules. For example, the electronic device 100 can move the AOD content from the currently displayed display screen to the adjacent display screen every preset time length. After the AOD content is moved, the display region displaying the AOD content can be in the powered-on state, and the display region not displaying the AOD content can be in the powered-off state. Optionally, during the above AOD content movement, the electronic device 100 can display an animation of the AOD content movement and play corresponding audio to provide the user with a transition sound effect of the AOD content movement. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the rules for triggering the AOD content movement. The above embodiments can not only improve the user interaction with the AOD content, but also reduce the power consumption of the electronic device 100 in the screen-off display state and reduce the damage of the display screen in the powered-on state for a long time.

[0414] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can format data in the electronic device 100. When formatting, the clear data of the electronic device 100 can include the mode flag bit of the AOD follow-up feature.

[0415] Figure 17 An example shows a method flowchart for restoring the factory settings provided by the present application.

[0416] S1711, receiving an operation of restoring the factory settings of the electronic device 100.

[0417] Restoring the factory settings can be used to clear the data (such as pictures, files, etc.) saved by the user, the information (such as the desktop wallpaper, the mode flag bit of the AOD follow-up feature, etc.) set by the user, the non-system application programs downloaded by the user, and the like in the electronic device 100.

[0418] S1712, calling a formatting tool to clean up the data area of the electronic device 100, the data area including the mode flag bit of the AOD follow-up feature.

[0419] In response to the operation of restoring the factory settings of the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 can call a formatting tool to clean up the data area of the electronic device 100. Wherein, the electronic device 100 can restore the value of the mode flag bit of the AOD follow-up feature to the original value before the user sets.

[0420] For example, before the user sets the on-off state of the AOD follow-up feature, the value of the mode flag bit is empty. After the user turns on the AOD follow-up feature, the electronic device 100 can set the value of the mode flag bit to 1. In response to an operation of restoring the electronic device 100 to factory settings, the electronic device 100 can delete the value "1" of the mode flag bit, so that the value of the mode flag bit returns to the empty state.

[0421] In some embodiments, the data area of the electronic device 100 can further include a related parameter for controlling the movement of AOD content. The parameter can refer to the description of step S1312 in the foregoing Figure 13 The electronic device 100 can delete the related parameter for controlling the movement of AOD content from the memory using a formatting tool.

[0422] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 is communicatively connected to other devices with display screens. The electronic device 100 can use the display screen of the device connected thereto as an extended display screen. The electronic device 100 can be referred to as a master device. The device with the display screen as the extended display screen of the electronic device 100 can be referred to as a slave device. The data area of the slave device can store data of the slave device and the master device establishing a communication connection, a related parameter for controlling the movement of AOD content on the display screen of the slave device, and the like. The above-mentioned related parameter for controlling the movement of AOD content on the display screen of the slave device can be sent by the master device to the slave device.

[0423] When the master device (i.e., the electronic device 100) receives an operation of restoring to factory settings, the master device can send a data cleaning instruction to the slave device. The data cleaning instruction can be used to instruct the slave device to clear the data of the slave device and the master device establishing a communication connection, the related parameter for controlling the movement of AOD content on the display screen of the slave device, and the like.

[0424] Figure 18 An exemplary software structure schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 is shown.

[0425] As shown in Figure 18 , the electronic device 100 can include a folding state acquisition module, an AOD animation adjustment module, an AOD resource management module, and a notification module.

[0426] The folding state acquisition module can be used to determine the folding state of the folding screen of the electronic device 100. For example, the folding screen of the electronic device 100 is a three-fold screen as shown in the foregoing Figure 2A and Figure 2B The folding state of the folding screen can include the foregoing Figure 2A and Figure 2BThe nine folding states are shown. In some embodiments, the folding state acquisition module can acquire the folding angle between two adjacent display screens in the folding screen, and then determine the folding state of the folding screen according to the folding angle. The method of determining the folding state can refer to the foregoing Figure 9 The introduction in step S912 is shown.

[0427] The AOD dynamic effect adjustment module can be used to move the AOD content on the display screen according to the current folding state of the folding screen, the gaze area of the user on the screen, the touch operation of the user on the screen, and the like. In the process of moving the AOD content, the AOD dynamic effect adjustment module can also display an animation of the movement of the AOD content. The scene and method of moving the AOD content by the AOD content adjustment module can refer to the foregoing introduction of the embodiments.

[0428] The AOD resource management module can be used to manage AOD resources. The AOD resources can be pre-installed in the electronic device 100, or can be downloaded by the electronic device 100. The AOD resource management module can provide the user with options corresponding to the AOD resources for the user to select the AOD resources to be used. The AOD resource management module can send the AOD resources selected by the user to the AOD dynamic effect adjustment module, so that the AOD dynamic effect adjustment module displays the AOD content in the AOD resources selected by the user in the screen-off display state.

[0429] The notification module can be used to acquire an event for triggering the movement of the AOD content, and notify the AOD dynamic effect adjustment module. In this way, the AOD dynamic effect adjustment module can move the AOD content according to the event for triggering the movement of the AOD content.

[0430] Not limited to Figure 18 The modules shown, the electronic device 100 can also contain more or less modules, or combine certain modules, or split certain modules. Figure 18

[0431] An exemplary flowchart of a screen-off display method provided by the present application is shown. Figure 19 S1911, the first device detects a screen-off event, and the first device includes a first display area and a second display area.

[0432] The first device can be the electronic device 100 in the foregoing embodiments. The screen-off event can refer to the foregoing

[0433] The introduction in step S911 or the foregoing Figure 9 The introduction in step S1611 is shown. The first display area and the second display area are at least partially different. The first display area can refer to the foregoing Figure 16 The display area a1 in step S912 is shown. The second display area can refer to the foregoing Figure 9 Figure 9 ​The display area a2 in step S913 or the display area a3 in step S914.

[0434] S1912, according to the screen-off event, the first device displays AOD content in the first display area, when the first display area displays AOD content, the second display area is in the powered-off state.

[0435] In some embodiments, the first display area described above can be a preset display area that first displays AOD after the first device is powered off.

[0436] In some embodiments, the first device is a folding screen device. The first device can determine the first display area according to the folding state of the folding screen, which can be specifically referred to the introduction of the foregoing Figure 9 The introduction of step S912.

[0437] In some embodiments, before detecting the screen-off event, the first display area and the second display area are both in the powered-on state. In response to the screen-off event, the first device can keep the first display area in the powered-on state, display AOD content in the first display area, and power off the second display area. Alternatively, in response to the screen-off event, the first device can first power off the first display area and the second display area, then power on the first display area, and display AOD content in the first display area.

[0438] Optionally, in addition to the first display area and the second display area, the first device can also include other display areas. In response to the screen-off event, the first device can power off the display areas in the powered-on state except the first display area, and keep the display areas in the powered-off state except the first display area in the powered-off state. That is to say, when the first display area displays AOD content, the display areas except the first display area can be in the powered-off state.

[0439] S1913, the first device detects a first event.

[0440] The first event can include but is not limited to: human eye fixation on the second display area, or user touch operation on the second display area. The method for the first device to detect human eye fixation on the area can be referred to the introduction of the foregoing Figure 9 The method for the first device to detect user touch operation on the display area can be referred to the introduction of the foregoing Figure 9 The introduction of step S914. Herein will not be repeated.

[0441] S1914, according to the first event, the first device powers on the second display area, displays AOD content in the second display area, when the second display area displays AOD content, the first display area is in the powered-off state.

[0442] In some embodiments, according to the first event, the first device can power off the display area (e.g., the first display area) other than the second display area in the power-on state, and power on the second display area to display the AOD content in the second display area. In this way, the display area of the AOD content can be switched from the first display area to the second display area.

[0443] In some embodiments, before displaying the AOD content in the second display area, the first device can play a first animation corresponding to moving the AOD content from the first display area to the second display area. For example, the first animation can include a first image sequence. The images in the first image sequence can be arranged in order of display. Among them, the earlier the image in the first image sequence is arranged, the more part of the image is displayed on the first display area. The later the image in the first image sequence is arranged, the more part of the image is displayed on the second display area. In this way, the display position of the image in the first image sequence can gradually move from the first display area to the second display area according to a preset moving path. The image content of the multiple images included in the first image sequence can be different (for example, the first image sequence includes multiple images of butterflies flying, and the state of the butterflies flying in each image is different). In this way, the animation effect of the object in the AOD content dynamically moving from the first display area to the second display area can be presented. Alternatively, the image content of the multiple images included in the first image sequence can be the same. That is, the AOD content can be a static image, and the first device can translate the static image from the first display area to the second display area.

[0444] The scenario in which the first device plays the first animation can refer to the scenario described in the foregoing Figures 4A-4E , or the scenario described in the foregoing Figures 5A-5C , or the scenario described in the foregoing Figures 6A-6E , or the scenario described in the foregoing Figures 7A-7C , or the scenario described in the foregoing Figures 8A-8E , or the scenario described in the foregoing

[0445] In some embodiments, the first device further includes a third display area. The third display area can be a display area through which the AOD content moves from the first display area to the second display area. According to the first event, the first device can power on the second display area and the third display area. The first device can move the AOD content from the first display area to the third display area, and then move the AOD content from the third display area to the second display area. Then, the first device can power off the first display area and the third display area.

[0446] Specifically, when the AOD content moves to a first position within the first display area, the first device can power on the third display area. The distance between the boundary of the first and third display areas and the first position is less than a first threshold. In other words, when the AOD content is about to move from the first display area to a position where it needs to be displayed on the third display area, the first device can power on the third display area.

[0447] When the AOD content is moved to a second position within the third display area, the first device can power on the second display area. The distance between the boundary between the third and second display areas and the second position is less than a second threshold. In other words, when the AOD content is about to move from the third display area to a position where it needs to be displayed on the second display area, the first device can power on the second display area.

[0448] When the AOD content has completely moved out of the first display area, the first device may power off the first display area. When the AOD content has completely moved out of the third display area, the first device may power off the third display area.

[0449] It can be seen that the power-on time for the first device to power on the third display area and the second display area can be different. The power-off time for the first device to power off the first display area and the third display area can also be different. The above embodiment can better reduce the power consumption of the first device in the screen-off display state.

[0450] The scenario described above, where AOD content moves from the first display area, through the third display area, to the second display area, can be referenced in the preceding text. Figures 4C-4E The scene shown illustrates how AOD content moves from screen A, through screen B, to screen C.

[0451] In some embodiments, the first device may play first audio as AOD content moves from the first display area to the second display area.

[0452] In some embodiments, the first device may be a foldable screen device. The first device may also include a fifth display area. When the first device is in a first folded state, AOD content may be displayed in the aforementioned second display area. When the folded state of the foldable screen of the first device changes from the first folded state to the second folded state, the first device may display the aforementioned AOD content in the fifth display area. The first folded state and the second folded state are different. Both the first folded state and the second folded state may be one of a fully unfolded state, a half-folded state 1, a half-folded state 2, and a fully folded state.

[0453] The aforementioned fifth display area may be a preset area used to display AOD content for the first time after the folded screen changes from the folded state to the second folded state.

[0454] Optionally, during the change of the folding state of the foldable screen from the first folding state to the second folding state, the first device can play a second animation corresponding to the movement of the AOD content from the second display area to the fifth display area. The scenario in which the first device plays the second animation can refer to the foregoing Figures 11A-11C illustrated scenarios.

[0455] As can be seen, the first device can move the AOD content as the folding state of the foldable screen changes.

[0456] In some embodiments, the first device is connected with a second device. The screen of the second device can be an extended display screen of the first device. When the AOD content is located in the second display area, the first device detects a third event. The third event can include the human eye gazing at the screen of the second device, or the user performing a touch operation on the screen of the second device. According to the third event, the first device can instruct the second device to power on the screen of the second device, and display the AOD content on the screen of the second device. When the screen of the second device displays the AOD content, the screen of the first device can be in a powered-off state. That is, the first display area and the second display area are in a powered-off state.

[0457] Optionally, the screen of the second device supports partitioned power-on and power-off. The AOD content can be displayed in a partial area of the screen of the second device. The first device can instruct the second device to power on the partial area of the screen of the second device for displaying the AOD content. In the case where the AOD content is displayed in the partial area of the screen of the second device, the area of the screen of the second device that does not display the AOD content can be in a powered-off state.

[0458] As illustrated by the method Figure 19 illustrated, in the screen-off display state, the first device can move the AOD content between multiple display areas of the display screen according to the change of the gazing direction of the human eye or the change of the touch area. This can improve the interactivity of the AOD content. Moreover, the first device can power on the display area that displays the AOD content, and power off the display area that does not display the AOD content. This not only can reduce the power consumption of the first device in the screen-off display state, and realize the all-day display of the AOD content on the display screen, but also can reduce the damage of the display screen caused by the long-time power-on state. The foregoing method can improve the user experience of the user using the AOD.

[0459] Figure 20 An exemplary hardware structure schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 is shown.

[0460] As Figure 20As shown, the electronic device 100 can include a processor 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a universal serial bus (USB) interface 130, a charging management module 140, a power management module 141, a battery 142, an antenna 1, an antenna 2, a mobile communication module 150, a wireless communication module 160, an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, a headset jack 170D, a sensor module 180, a key 190, a motor 191, an indicator 192, a camera 193, a display screen 194, and a subscriber identification module (SIM) card interface 195, etc.

[0463] Among them, the controller can be the nerve center and command center of the electronic device 100. The controller can generate operation control signals according to instruction operation codes and timing signals to complete the control of fetching and executing instructions.

[0464] The processor 110 can also be provided with a memory for storing instructions and data. In some examples, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory can hold instructions or data that the processor 110 has just used or is using repeatedly. If the processor 110 needs to use the instructions or data again, it can be called directly from the memory. This avoids repeated access and reduces the waiting time of the processor 110, thus improving the efficiency of the system.

[0465] In the present application, the memory can store a computer program for enabling the controller or processor to implement the screen-off display method of the present application through an interface or protocol. Exemplarily, the computer program in the memory can be used to: detect the folding state of the folding screen, display AOD content in the target display area, detect the gaze direction of the human eye, move the AOD content according to the folding state change or an event (such as the gaze area of the human eye on the screen, a touch operation on the display screen, etc.) for triggering the AOD content movement, power on the display area of the display screen where the AOD content is displayed, power off the display area of the display screen where the AOD content is not displayed, play audio corresponding to the AOD content movement, turn on or off the AOD follow-up feature, etc.

[0466] The USB interface 130 is an interface conforming to the USB standard specification, and can be a Mini USB interface, a Micro USB interface, a USB Type C interface, etc. The USB interface 130 can be used to connect a charger to charge the electronic device 100, and can also be used to transmit data between the electronic device 100 and a peripheral device. It can also be used to connect a headset to play audio through the headset.

[0467] The charging management module 140 is used to receive charging input from a charger. The charger can be a wireless charger or a wired charger. The charging management module 140 can charge the battery 142 while also providing power to the electronic device through the power management module 141.

[0468] The power management module 141 is used to connect the battery 142, the charging management module 140, and the processor 110. The power management module 141 receives input from the battery 142 and / or the charging management module 140 to provide power to the processor 110, the internal memory 121, the external memory, the display screen 194, the camera 193, and the wireless communication module 160, etc.

[0469] The wireless communication function of the electronic device 100 can be realized through the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the mobile communication module 150, the wireless communication module 160, the modem processor, and the baseband processor, etc.

[0470] Antennas 1 and 2 are used for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in the electronic device 100 can be used to cover a single or multiple communication frequency bands. Different antennas can also be multiplexed to improve the utilization of the antennas. For example: antenna 1 can be multiplexed as a diversity antenna for wireless local area networks. In some other embodiments, antennas can be used in combination with tuning switches.

[0471] The mobile communication module 150 can provide a solution for wireless communication including 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G, etc. applied on the electronic device 100. The mobile communication module 150 can include at least one filter, switch, power amplifier, low noise amplifier (LNA), etc. The mobile communication module 150 can receive electromagnetic waves by the antenna 1, and perform filtering, amplification, etc. on the received electromagnetic waves, and transmit the processed signals to the modem processor for demodulation. The mobile communication module 150 can also amplify the signals modulated by the modem processor, and convert the signals into electromagnetic waves radiated by the antenna 1.

[0472] The wireless communication module 160 can provide a solution for wireless communication including wireless local area networks (WLAN) (such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks), Bluetooth (BT), global navigation satellite system (GNSS), frequency modulation (FM), near field communication (NFC), infrared (IR) technology, etc. applied on the electronic device 100. The wireless communication module 160 can be one or more devices integrated with at least one communication processing module. The wireless communication module 160 receives electromagnetic waves via the antenna 2, performs frequency modulation and filtering processing on the electromagnetic wave signals, and transmits the processed signals to the processor 110. The wireless communication module 160 can also receive signals to be transmitted from the processor 110, perform frequency modulation and amplification on the signals, and convert the signals into electromagnetic waves radiated by the antenna 2.

[0473] The electronic device 100 realizes display functions through a GPU, a display screen 194, and an application processor, etc. The GPU is a microprocessor for image processing, connected to the display screen 194 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering.

[0474] The display screen 194 is configured to display images, videos, and the like. The display screen 194 can be a liquid crystal display screen, an OLED display screen, or the like.

[0475] The electronic device 100 can implement the photographing function through the ISP, the camera 193, the video codec, the GPU, the display screen 194, and the application processor, and the like.

[0476] The ISP is configured to process the data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when taking a photo, the shutter is opened, the light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens, the light signal is converted into an electric signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electric signal to the ISP for processing to convert it into an image visible to the naked eye.

[0477] The camera 193 is configured to capture still images or videos. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can include one or N cameras 193, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0478] The digital signal processor is configured to process digital signals, which can process not only digital image signals but also other digital signals. For example, when the electronic device 100 selects a frequency point, the digital signal processor is configured to perform Fourier transform on the frequency point energy, and the like.

[0479] The NPU is a neural-network (NN) calculation processor, which is configured to quickly process input information by referring to the structure of a biological neural network, for example, by referring to the transmission mode between human brain neurons, and can also continuously self-learn. Through the NPU, the electronic device 100 can implement intelligent cognition applications such as AI image generation, image fusion, image recognition, face recognition, voice recognition, text understanding, and the like.

[0480] The external memory interface 120 can be configured to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to expand the storage capacity of the electronic device 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 110 through the external memory interface 120 to implement a data storage function. For example, music, video, and the like files are saved in the external memory card.

[0481] The internal memory 121 can be used to store computer-executable program codes including instructions. The processor 110 performs various functional applications of the electronic device 100 and data processing by executing the instructions stored in the internal memory 121. The internal memory 121 can include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area can store an operating system, at least one application program (e.g., a sound play function, an image play function, etc.) required for at least one function, etc. The data storage area can store data (e.g., audio data, a phonebook, etc.) created during the use of the electronic device 100, etc. In addition, the internal memory 121 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can further include a non-volatile memory such as at least one of a magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash storage (UFS), etc.

[0482] The electronic device 100 can implement an audio function through the audio module 170, the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, the microphone 170C, the earphone interface 170D, and the application processor, etc. For example, music play, recording, etc.

[0483] The audio module 170 is used to convert digital audio information into an analog audio signal output, and is also used to convert an analog audio input into a digital audio signal. The audio module 170 can also be used to encode and decode an audio signal. In some examples, the audio module 170 can be disposed in the processor 110, or part of the functions of the audio module 170 can be disposed in the processor 110. The speaker 170A, also referred to as a "loudspeaker", is used to convert an audio electrical signal into a sound signal. The receiver 170B, also referred to as a "earpiece", is used to convert an audio electrical signal into a sound signal. The microphone 170C, also referred to as a "microphone", "sound transducer", is used to convert a sound signal into an electrical signal.

[0485] The gyro sensor can be used to determine the motion posture of the electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the angular velocity of the electronic device 100 around three axes (i.e., x, y, and z axes) can be determined by the gyro sensor. The electronic device 100 can determine the deflection angle of the electronic device 100 by the gyro sensor.

[0486] An accelerometer can detect the magnitude of acceleration of an electronic device 100 in various directions (typically three axes). In some embodiments, the accelerometer can be used to identify the posture of the electronic device 100, and can be applied to applications such as screen orientation switching and pedometers.

[0487] Magnetic sensors can include Hall effect sensors, magnetometers, and so on.

[0488] Angle sensors can be used to detect the folding angle of a 100° foldable screen in electronic devices.

[0489] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may use one or more of sensors such as a gyroscope sensor, an accelerometer sensor, a magnetometer sensor, and an angle sensor to detect the folding state of the folding screen.

[0490] Buttons 190 include a power button, volume buttons, etc. Motor 191 can generate vibration feedback. Indicator 192 can be an indicator light, used to indicate charging status, battery level changes, and also to indicate messages, missed calls, notifications, etc.

[0491] The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect a SIM card. The SIM card can be inserted into or removed from the SIM card interface 195 to make contact with and detach from the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can support one or N SIM card interfaces, where N is a positive integer greater than 1. The electronic device 100 interacts with the network through the SIM card to achieve functions such as calls and data communication. In some examples, the electronic device 100 uses an eSIM, i.e., an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the electronic device 100 and cannot be removed from it.

[0492] The software system of electronic device 100 can adopt a layered architecture, event-driven architecture, microkernel architecture, microservice architecture, or cloud architecture. This application embodiment uses a layered architecture. Taking the system as an example, the software structure of electronic device 100 is illustrated.

[0493] Figure 21 An exemplary schematic diagram of another software architecture of electronic device 100 is shown.

[0494] A layered architecture divides software into several layers, each with a clear role and function. Layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, [the following is omitted as the text is incomplete and likely refers to a specific implementation or feature]. The system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom: the application layer, the application framework layer, the Android Runtime and system libraries, and the kernel layer.

[0495] The application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0496] like Figure 21 As shown, the application package may include applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, SMS, and AOD (Away From Home) applications. AOD applications can be used to provide functions such as enabling or disabling AOD tracking, downloading AOD resources, setting the AOD theme used by the electronic device 100, and moving AOD content on the display screen, etc.

[0497] The application framework layer provides APIs and a programming framework for applications within the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0498] like Figure 21 As shown, the application framework layer may include a window manager, content provider, view system, phone manager, resource manager, notification manager, activity manager, fold status acquisition module, etc.

[0499] The window manager is used to manage windowed applications. It can retrieve screen size, determine the presence of a status bar, lock the screen, and capture screenshots, among other things.

[0500] Content providers store and retrieve data, making that data accessible to applications. This data may include videos, images, audio, made and received phone calls, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

[0501] A view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text and controls for displaying images. View systems can be used to build applications. A display interface can consist of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text notification icon could include views for displaying text and views for displaying images.

[0502] The phone manager is used to provide communication functions for electronic device 100. For example, it manages call status (including connection and disconnection).

[0503] The file explorer provides applications with various resources, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, and more.

[0504] The notification manager allows applications to display notifications in the status bar (such as the pull-down notification bar). It can be used to convey informational messages and can disappear automatically after a short pause without user interaction. For example, the notification manager can be used to notify users of download completion or message alerts. The notification manager can also display notifications as icons or scrolling text in the top status bar, such as notifications from background applications, or as dialog boxes on the screen.
