The second operation is also consistent with the posture of holding the foldable screen mobile phone with both hands, so that the user can more conveniently operate the foldable screen mobile phone.

[0018] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the method further includes: in response to a third operation, displaying the second interface in full screen. In this way, multiple ways of displaying the second interface can be provided for the user to select.

[0019] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the second interface gradually extends to a full screen display state to the left and right sides, and the interface content displayed on the left and right sides of the screen presents a door opening animation effect in the process of gradually extending the second interface.

[0020] Through the above embodiment, the second interface can be displayed in full screen by using a door opening animation effect in response to the third operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0021] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the third operation is simultaneous outward sliding of the left and right edge regions of the screen. The third operation is also consistent with the posture of holding the foldable screen mobile phone with both hands, so that the user can more conveniently operate the foldable screen mobile phone.

[0022] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the second interface comprises an entrance of the privacy space, and the method further comprises:

[0023] displaying the privacy space in response to the triggering operation of entering the privacy space.

[0024] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, displaying the privacy space comprises displaying the main space on one side of the screen and displaying the privacy space on another side of the screen.

[0025] The above implementations enable the user to simultaneously view the main space and the privacy space on the screen, and improve the user experience.

[0026] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the method further comprises: in response to an operation of dragging a target content of the first space to the second space, moving the target content from the first space to the second space; the first space is one of the main space and the privacy space, and the second space is the other of the main space and the privacy space. In this way, the user can move data between the main space and the privacy space through the dragging operation, and the user experience is improved.

[0027] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, when the privacy space is displayed, the method further comprises: if it is detected that another person is watching the screen, reminding the user, so as to reduce the risk of user privacy leakage.

[0028] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the second interface is an application interface of a target application program. In this way, the user can open the target application program through the operation of simultaneously sliding outwards at the edge area of the screen by the two hands and then pausing, and the operation mode fits the posture of holding the folding screen mobile phone by the two hands, and the user experience is improved.

[0029] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the target application program is an application program that is used most frequently by the user in a target historical time.

[0030] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the second interface is a target interface, and the target interface is an application interface that is viewed most frequently by the user in a target historical time. In this way, the electronic device can directly display the target interface in response to the first operation, so as to facilitate the user to view.

[0031] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, in response to the first operation, the method further comprises: displaying a third interface in a left side area of the screen and displaying a fourth interface in a right side area of the screen.

[0032] Through the above embodiments, three interfaces can be simultaneously displayed on the screen in response to the first operation, so that the user can view multiple interface contents at the same time, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminology used in the implementation section of this application is only for explaining specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the application. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0065] With the hardware evolution of electronic devices such as foldable phones and tablets, the screen sizes of these devices are getting larger and larger. Since users typically carry these devices with them, it's inconvenient to control them using styluses, keyboards, mice, etc. Therefore, when using large-screen electronic devices, users usually... Figure 1 As shown, when held with both hands, the user primarily interacts with the electronic device via thumb taps.

[0066] However, the user interface of many large-screen electronic devices is still designed for traditional right-handed use, which makes it inconvenient for users to operate and results in a poor user experience.

[0067] Therefore, this application provides an interaction method that, in response to a user's simultaneous outward swiping and pausing action on the left and right sides of an electronic device's screen, displays a second interface in the middle area of ​​the screen. This operation method conforms to the user's hand-holding posture, making it easier for users to operate large-screen electronic devices, thereby improving the user experience.

[0068] The interaction method provided in this application can be applied to various electronic devices that present a user interface to the user through a screen, such as foldable phones, tablets, PDAs, and personal computers (PCs). This application uses a foldable phone as an example for illustrative purposes. Figure 2 As shown in (a) to (c), foldable screen phones can include single-screen foldable phones, triple-screen foldable phones, and quad-screen foldable phones.

[0069] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating the interaction method provided in the embodiments of this application is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the interaction method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0070] S110, Display the first interface.

[0071] The first interface can be the main interface of the foldable phone, the application interface of any application (app) in the foldable phone, or other user interfaces of the foldable phone. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0072] S120, Receive the first operation after the left and right areas of the screen are swiped outwards simultaneously and then paused.

[0073] In some embodiments, the left and right areas of the screen can be as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the left and right sides are divided by the longitudinal central axis.

[0074] In some embodiments, the left and right areas of the screen can also be the left and right edge areas of the screen. The left and right edge areas can be two rectangular areas formed by extending a target distance inward from each of the left and right edges of the screen. The target distance can be 3 cm, 5 cm, etc. The inward distances of the left and right edges of the screen can be the same or different; this application embodiment does not specifically limit this. The following embodiments of this application will use the left and right areas of the screen as the left and right edge areas as an example for illustrative explanation.

[0075] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the width of the left and right edge areas of the screen can be greater than or equal to the farthest distance that the user's left and right thumbs can reach when holding the foldable screen phone with both hands.

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, the first operation can be an operation where the user simultaneously swipes outward from the left and right edges of the screen without pausing for a target time. The target time can be 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 1.5 seconds, etc., and this application embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0077] Understandably, since the start time and end time of the pause by the user's hands may vary slightly, as long as the user swipes outward from the left or right side of the screen without raising their hands and both hands are paused at the same time, and the duration of the pause is greater than or equal to the target duration, the electronic device can recognize the user's operation as the first operation.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the left and right thumbs slide outward on the screen, the sliding direction may be parallel or nearly parallel to the extension direction of the upper edge of the screen.

[0079] S130, in response to the first operation, a second interface is displayed in the middle area of ​​the screen.

[0080] like Figure 7 As shown, the screen can be divided into three regions distributed horizontally. From left to right, these three regions can be the left, middle, and right regions. The areas of the left, middle, and right regions can be the same or different; this application will subsequently use an example where the areas of the left, middle, and right regions are all the same for illustrative purposes.

[0081] In some embodiments, if the foldable phone is a 3-screen foldable phone, the left, middle and right regions can also be divided along the two folding axes.

[0082] like Figure 8 As shown in (a) and (b) above, the foldable phone can respond to a first operation by displaying a second interface, different from the first interface, in the central area of ​​the screen. For example, if the first interface is the main interface of the foldable phone, the second interface can be the application interface of the target app or other user interface. The embodiments of this application will subsequently be illustrated using the example of the first interface being the main interface of the foldable phone and the second interface being the application interface of the target app. The first operation conforms to the posture of the user holding the foldable phone with both hands, making it easier for the user to operate the foldable phone and view the second interface, thereby improving the user experience.

[0083] The target app can be pre-defined by the user. In some embodiments, the target app can also be recommended to the user by the foldable phone based on the user's usage habits and preferences. For example, the foldable phone can recommend the app that the user has used most frequently during a target historical period.

[0084] The target historical time can be a preset duration (such as 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, etc.) before the current time (i.e. the moment when the foldable screen phone responds to the first operation).

[0085] In some embodiments, the foldable phone can also recommend frequently viewed target interfaces (which can be a specific application interface of an app or other interfaces frequently viewed by other users) to the user based on the user's behavior data. In response to the first operation, the foldable phone can directly display the target interface for the user to view.

[0086] For example, the target interface could be the interface in a finance-related app used to view real-time stock index data, the interface in a news-related app used to view breaking news, the interface in a home-related app used to view real-time home surveillance video, the interface in an office-related app used to view work emails, or the interface in a social-related app used to comment on or reply to works, etc.

[0087] In some embodiments, the foldable phone can also respond to a first operation by displaying multiple frequently used application interfaces in the central area of ​​the screen for the user to select. The foldable phone can respond to the user's selection of any application interface from the multiple application interfaces (such as a click operation) by displaying only the selected application interface in the central area of ​​the screen.

[0088] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown in (a) to (c), in response to the first operation, the foldable screen phone displays application interface 1 of app1 and application interface 2 of app2 in the middle area of ​​the screen, and then in response to the user's click operation in the left edge area of ​​the screen, the application interface 1 is enlarged and displayed in the middle area.

[0089] Understandably, foldable phones can also respond to user taps on the right edge of the screen, enlarging the display of the application interface in the middle area.

[0090] S140. In response to the first operation, the left half of the boundary content of the first interface is displayed in the left area of ​​the screen, and the right half of the boundary content of the target interface is displayed in the right area of ​​the screen.

[0091] The left area is located to the left of the middle area, and the right area is located to the right of the middle area. For example... Figure 10 As shown in (a) and (b), the foldable screen phone can respond to the first operation by displaying the left half of the first interface's content in the left area of ​​the screen and the right half of the target interface's content in the right area of ​​the screen, so that the user can view the first interface and the second interface at the same time, thus improving the user experience.

[0092] The left and right half of the boundary surface together form a complete first interface. The left and right half of the boundary surface can be the left and right interfaces divided by a longitudinal central axis; in this case, the areas of the left and right half of the boundary surface are the same. In some embodiments, the areas of the left and right half of the boundary surface may also be different; this application does not specifically limit this.

[0093] The foldable phone can respond to the first operation by directly displaying the left half of the first interface's content on the left side of the screen and the right half of the target interface's content on the right side of the screen. In some embodiments, it can also be as follows: Figure 11 As shown in (a) to (c), the foldable phone responds to the first operation by displaying the content of the left and right half of the boundary surface with an opening animation effect to improve the user experience.

[0094] like Figure 11 As shown in (c), the content of the left half of the boundary surface can be located in the door-shaped area on the left side of the screen, and the content of the right half of the boundary surface can be located in the door-shaped area on the right side of the screen. The door-shaped areas on both sides can be in a half-open state (such as half-pushed open, half-pulled open, etc.).

[0095] In some embodiments, the door opening animation effect can also be presented in the form of opening a sliding door, folding door, etc.

[0096] In some embodiments, the foldable phone may also respond to the first operation by displaying the content of the left half of the boundary surface and the content of the right half of the boundary surface using an animation effect of opening the scroll from the middle to both sides.

[0097] In some embodiments, if the content of the first interface is difficult to divide into left and right sides (for example, the first interface is a document interface), the foldable screen phone can also respond to the first operation by displaying the upper half of the content of the first interface in the left area of ​​the screen and the lower half of the content of the target interface in the right area of ​​the screen.

[0098] In some embodiments, if the content of the first interface is difficult to divide horizontally or vertically (e.g., image interface, video interface, etc.), the foldable screen phone can also respond to the first operation and display the complete first interface in the left or right area of ​​the screen.

[0099] In some embodiments, the foldable phone can also display other interfaces on the left and right sides of the screen in response to the first operation. This allows users to view multiple interfaces simultaneously, enhancing the user experience.

[0100] For example, such as Figure 12As shown in (a) and (b), in response to the first operation, the foldable phone displays the application interface 1 of app1 in the middle area of ​​the screen, the application interface 2 of app2 in the left area of ​​the screen, and the application interface 3 of app3 in the right area of ​​the screen.

[0101] S150, in response to the first operation, displays the entrance to the privacy space on the second interface.

[0102] like Figure 13 As shown in (a) and (b), the foldable phone can also respond to the first operation by displaying an entrance to the privacy space on the second screen. The entrance to the privacy space can be located at the bottom, top, or other locations on the second screen. In some embodiments, the entrance to the privacy space can also be located on the left or right edge of the screen, allowing the user to enter the privacy space by tapping the entrance with their left or right thumb while holding the phone with both hands.

[0103] In response to the first operation, the foldable phone can display both the target app's interface and the entrance to the privacy space on the second screen; alternatively, it can display only the entrance to the privacy space on the second screen, in which case the second screen can display a solid color background or other backgrounds.

[0104] In some embodiments, the foldable phone can display the privacy space in full screen in response to a triggering operation (such as a click) that enters the privacy space.

[0105] In some embodiments, it may also be as follows Figure 14 As shown, in response to the triggering operation of entering the privacy space, the foldable screen phone displays the main space on the left side of the screen and the privacy space on the right side of the screen, allowing users to view both the main space and the privacy space on the screen at the same time, thus improving the user experience.

[0106] Understandably, foldable phones can also display the main space on the right side of the screen and the private space on the left side, or the main space on the top side of the screen and the private space on the bottom side, or vice versa.

[0107] When a foldable phone responds to the trigger action of entering the privacy space and displays both the privacy space and the main space, if the second screen only displays the entrance to the privacy space, the main space can display the first screen; if the second screen displays both the application interface of the target app and the entrance to the privacy space, the main space can display either the first screen or the application interface of the target app.

[0108] In some embodiments, data in the main space and the privacy space can be dragged and dropped between each other, allowing users to move data between the main space and the privacy space by dragging and dropping (such as copying and pasting, cutting and pasting), thus improving the user experience.

[0109] In some embodiments, when a foldable phone displays a privacy space, it can also activate a privacy detection function. If it detects that someone else is watching the screen, it can alert the user, thereby reducing the risk of user privacy leaks.

[0110] In some embodiments, the foldable phone can also respond to the user's selection of a main space or a private space (such as double-tapping the main space or the private space), by enlarging the selected space and shrinking the other space.

[0111] For example, such as Figure 15 As shown in (a) to (c), the foldable screen phone responds to the user's double-tap operation of the main space by enlarging the main space and shrinking the privacy space, and responds to the user's double-tap operation of the shrunken privacy space by restoring the size of the main space and privacy space.

[0112] In some embodiments, the foldable phone can also display the main space or the private space in full screen in response to the user's selection of the main space or the private space.

[0113] S160, In response to the second operation, the first interface is restored to display.

[0114] Even when the foldable phone displays a second interface in the middle area of ​​the screen, the user can still use a second operation to restore the foldable phone to display the first interface.

[0115] The second operation can be the user clicking the restore button, etc. In some embodiments, the second operation can also be the user's left and right thumbs sliding inwards simultaneously on the left and right edges of the screen. This operation fits the posture of the user holding the foldable screen phone with both hands, making it easier for the user to operate the foldable screen phone.

[0116] The foldable phone can respond to the second operation and directly restore the display of the first screen. In some embodiments, it can also be as follows: Figure 16 As shown in (a) to (c), the foldable screen phone responds to the second operation by gradually merging the content of the left half of the boundary surface and the content of the right half of the boundary surface through a door closing animation effect until the first interface is restored to be displayed, so as to improve the user experience.

[0117] S170, in response to the third operation, displays the second interface in full screen.

[0118] Even when the second interface is displayed in the middle area of ​​the foldable phone screen, users can still use a third operation to make the foldable phone display the second interface in full screen.

[0119] The third operation could be a user double-clicking the second interface, or in some embodiments, a user simultaneously sliding their left and right thumbs outwards along the left and right edges of the screen. This operation fits the user's posture when holding the foldable phone with both hands, making it easier for the user to operate the foldable phone.

[0120] Foldable screen phones respond to third-party operations by directly displaying a second interface in full screen. In some embodiments, it is also possible to... Figure 17 As shown in (a) to (c), the foldable phone responds to the third operation, causing the second interface to gradually extend to the left and right sides until it reaches full-screen display. During this gradual extension of the second interface, the content displayed on the left and right sides of the screen can exhibit an opening door animation effect.

[0121] The interaction method provided in this application embodiment can respond to the user's operation of simultaneously swiping outwards in the left and right areas of the screen and then pausing, and display a second interface in the middle area of ​​the electronic device screen. This operation mode fits the user's hand holding posture, making it easier for the user to operate electronic devices with large screens, thereby improving the user experience.

[0122] The naming conventions for user input operations in this application are merely examples and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. In some embodiments, the same operation may use other names, such as the fourth operation, the fifth operation, etc. Similarly, the naming conventions for various functions, interfaces, and interface elements in this application are also merely examples and are not intended to limit this application. Other names may be used in other embodiments.

[0123] Furthermore, the user interface shown in the embodiments of this application is only an example and is not intended to limit this application.
