[0031] Figure 9 This is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for screen refresh rate control according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0032] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure.

[0033] In the accompanying drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure. The embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The screen refresh rate control method provided in this disclosure is mainly used to adjust the screen refresh rate of a target application being displayed on an electronic device, so as to achieve rapid adjustment of the screen refresh rate of the target application. The screen refresh rate characterizes the number of times an electronic display device updates the displayed content per unit time, and can be measured in Hertz (Hz).

[0035] In related technologies, setting the screen refresh rate for applications mainly relies on preset rules. This results in the inability to customize the application's screen refresh rate, or the need to set the refresh rate within a fixed system settings interface. This leads to poor flexibility in screen refresh rate settings and a complex adjustment process. For example, some technologies limit the maximum refresh rate of applications by setting a fixed, unmodifiable refresh rate whitelist or a mapping between user expressions and screen refresh rates. However, this makes it impossible to adjust the screen refresh rate corresponding to applications on the whitelist, causing the application to use a refresh rate that does not meet requirements during operation. Another example is the reliance on system settings for adjusting the refresh rate of different applications within the same electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a screen refresh rate setting interface in a related art according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 In the screen refresh rate settings interface, there are two options: Default (Recommended) and Custom. The Default option means that the screen refresh rate is determined according to the preset refresh rate display rules, while the Custom option means that all or some applications are set to display at the refresh rate selected in the lower right corner. However, in Figure 1 The available screen refresh rates are too limited, with only 60Hz and 90Hz options. Furthermore, adjusting the screen refresh rate for any application requires navigating to the screen refresh rate settings interface, resulting in complex setup procedures and a limited number of customizable refresh rate options.

[0036] In view of this, this disclosure provides a screen refresh rate control method that identifies the focus window of the currently running application on the electronic device and displays the application in the focus window at a first screen refresh rate. When a screen refresh rate adjustment operation is detected during the display of the focus window, one or more screen refresh rate control options are displayed in a portion of the screen display area of ​​the electronic device. Each screen refresh rate control option has a one-to-one correspondence with the screen refresh rates supported by the application, thereby enabling flexible and convenient screen refresh rate settings for the application in the focus window.

[0037] Figure 2This is a flowchart illustrating a screen refresh rate control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0038] In step S11, the focus window of the currently running application on the electronic device is identified and displayed at the first screen refresh rate.

[0039] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the focus window represents the window in the electronic device that currently receives or most recently receives a user input touch event. In this embodiment of the disclosure, the focus window can be determined by the operating system of the electronic device according to preset rules and input touch events.

[0040] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the application currently running on the electronic device can be a system application or a third-party application.

[0041] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first screen refresh rate can be determined based on the correspondence between applications and screen refresh rates. In this correspondence, the screen refresh rate corresponding to an application can represent either the initial screen refresh rate of the currently running application or the most recently set screen refresh rate. If the screen refresh rate of the currently running application has not been set, the initial screen refresh rate of the currently running application is used as the first screen refresh rate; if it is detected that the screen refresh rate of the currently running application has been adjusted, the most recently set screen refresh rate can be used as the first screen refresh rate.

[0042] In step S12, in response to receiving a screen refresh rate adjustment operation, one or more screen refresh rate control options are displayed in the first area.

[0043] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the screen refresh rate adjustment operation can be a pressing operation of a physical button in the electronic device, such as pressing a preset button in the electronic device for triggering the screen refresh rate adjustment operation.

[0044] It should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the method of receiving screen refresh rate adjustment operations. In the embodiments of this disclosure, screen refresh rate adjustment operations can also be received in other conventional ways. For example, screen refresh rate adjustment operations can also be touch operations such as clicking, sliding or long-pressing on the display components displayed on the screen of an electronic device.

[0045] In this embodiment, the screen refresh rate control options have a one-to-one correspondence with the screen refresh rates supported by the application. The screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device can be set as the screen refresh rate control options included in the first area. For example, if it is determined that the screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device include refresh rate 1, refresh rate 2, and refresh rate 3, then refresh rate 1, refresh rate 2, and refresh rate 3 can be displayed as screen refresh rate control options in the first area; alternatively, level 1, level 2, and level 3 can be set as screen refresh rate control options and displayed in the first area, where level 1 corresponds to refresh rate 1, level 2 corresponds to refresh rate 2, and level 3 corresponds to refresh rate 3.

[0046] In step S13, in response to receiving a selection operation for the screen refresh rate control option corresponding to the second screen refresh rate, the electronic device is controlled to display the focus window at the second screen refresh rate.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second screen refresh rate may be the same as or different from the first screen refresh rate. If the second screen refresh rate is the same as the first screen refresh rate, the display frame rate of the focus window can be kept constant, thus displaying the focus window at the second screen refresh rate.

[0048] In this embodiment, by setting a first area and displaying screen refresh rate control options corresponding to the screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device within that first area, the screen refresh rate of the application in the focus window can be changed during the selection process. This avoids the step of selecting the currently running application from a list of multiple applications and adjusting its screen refresh rate, thus reducing the complexity of adjusting the screen refresh rate of the currently running application. Furthermore, the first area can display all screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device, providing more screen refresh rate options and enhancing the flexibility of screen refresh rate control.

[0049] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first region is a portion of the display area of ​​the electronic device's screen. This portion of the display area can be a preset display area within the screen display area of ​​the electronic device; for example, the first region can be a side display area of ​​the electronic device's screen. It should be understood that this embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit the location of the first region; the location of the first region on the electronic device's screen can be determined based on actual display requirements or interface display style.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, a schematic diagram of displaying one or more screen refresh rate control options in a first area in the screen refresh rate control method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown below. Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating, according to an exemplary embodiment, one or more screen refresh rate control options displayed in a first area.

[0051] exist Figure 3 In this context, the electronic device is specifically a terminal. The terminal supports one or more screen refresh rate control options, including 30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz, and receives screen refresh rate adjustment operations via a collapsible control P1. When P1 receives a screen refresh rate adjustment operation, the refresh rate settings for the custom refresh rate switch are displayed in the right sidebar of the terminal, including the supported 30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz. For example, in a gaming application scenario, if high smoothness is required, the refresh rate can be set to the highest setting of 144Hz after running the game. For applications requiring scrolling and browsing, where a balance between smoothness and power consumption is needed, the screen refresh rate can be set to 90Hz in the sidebar. For video playback and music applications, to maximize power saving, the screen refresh rate can be set to 30Hz in the sidebar.

[0052] In this embodiment of the disclosure, one or more screen refresh rate control options may further include a custom screen refresh rate control option, which is used to display a custom screen refresh rate. In response to the selection of a custom screen refresh rate control option, the second screen refresh rate is the custom screen refresh rate. The second screen refresh rate may be the same as the custom screen refresh rate, or it may be the screen refresh rate closest to the custom screen refresh rate among one or more screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device.

[0053] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the selection operation of the screen refresh rate control option corresponding to the second screen refresh rate is performed for the first time, that is, when one or more screen refresh rate control options are displayed in the first area for the first time, the screen refresh rate supported by the electronic device can be obtained from the cloud and saved locally on the electronic device.

[0054] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying screen refresh rate control options according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0055] In step S21, in response to receiving a screen refresh rate adjustment operation for the first time, one or more screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device are obtained from the cloud and saved; or in response to receiving a screen refresh rate adjustment operation for a subsequent time, one or more screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device are obtained from the local storage of the electronic device.

[0056] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the electronic device receives the screen refresh rate adjustment operation for the first time, it obtains one or more screen refresh rates currently supported by the electronic device from the cloud, thereby achieving hot loading of the screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device and reducing the storage space occupied by this function on the electronic device before the screen refresh rate adjustment operation is used.

[0057] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the electronic device can also be configured to obtain the screen refresh rate from the cloud at fixed time intervals, so that the cloud can update one or more screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device based on the hardware status of the electronic device.

[0058] In this embodiment of the disclosure, one or more screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device can be obtained from the cloud.

[0059] In step S22, the screen refresh rate options corresponding to each of the one or more screen refresh rates are displayed in the first area.

[0060] In this embodiment, each of one or more screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device obtained from the cloud is displayed as a screen refresh rate option in the first area. The first area can be set to a swivel display area to address the practical problem of too many screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device.

[0061] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting the screen refresh rate adjustment operation to obtain one or more screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device from the cloud and save them locally when the screen refresh rate adjustment operation is received for the first time, the screen refresh rate supported by the electronic device can be flexibly set. Furthermore, the storage resources occupied by the screen refresh rate operation can be reduced when the screen refresh rate operation has not been used.

[0062] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the correspondence between the application and the screen refresh rate can also be modified so that when displaying the application, the screen refresh rate corresponding to the application in the most recently modified correspondence is used as the first screen refresh rate for display.

[0063] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a screen refresh rate control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0064] Figure 5 Step S31 and the steps in Figure 1 Step S13 is the same as in the previous one, and will not be repeated here. Please refer to the relevant description in the above embodiments. The following only describes the differences.

[0065] In step S32, if the second screen refresh rate is different from the first screen refresh rate, the correspondence between the application and the screen refresh rate is modified based on the second screen refresh rate.

[0066] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if it is detected that the display frame rate of the currently running application in the focus window has been modified using a second screen refresh rate different from the first screen refresh rate, the screen display frame rate corresponding to the currently running application in the correspondence can be modified to save the second screen frame rate used for the screen refresh rate adjustment operation. For example, if the screen refresh rate corresponding to application a is refresh rate 4 in the correspondence between applications and screen refresh rates, then when the focus window of the currently running application on the electronic device is identified, the first screen refresh rate is set to refresh rate 4, and the focus window where application a is located is displayed according to refresh rate 4. When a selection operation is received for the screen refresh rate control option corresponding to the second screen refresh rate of refresh rate 5, the focus window where application a is located is displayed using refresh rate 5, and the screen refresh rate corresponding to application a in the correspondence is changed from refresh rate 4 to refresh rate 5.

[0067] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when a change in the focus window is detected, the screen refresh rate option corresponding to the application in the switched focus window can be displayed.

[0068] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a screen refresh rate control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it includes the following steps.

[0069] Figure 6 Step S41 and the steps in Figure 4 The steps in step S32 are the same and will not be repeated here. Please refer to the relevant descriptions in the above embodiments. The following only describes the differences.

[0070] In step S42, in response to the change of the focus window, the application displayed in the changed focus window is taken as the currently running application, the first screen refresh rate and / or the second screen refresh rate are re-determined, and the changed focus window is displayed.

[0071] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the change of the focus window may be detected by detecting a change in the content of the window touched by the touch operation. For example, when it is detected that the touch point corresponding to the touch operation moves from application b to application c, the focus window moves from the display area of ​​application b to the display area of ​​application c, and the currently running application also changes from application b to application c.

[0072] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when a change in the focus window is detected, the first screen refresh rate corresponding to the currently running application is re-determined based on the correspondence between the application and the screen refresh rate, and the focus window is displayed using the first screen refresh rate. When a screen refresh rate adjustment operation is received, and a selection operation for a screen refresh rate control option corresponding to the second screen refresh rate is received, the content in the focus window is displayed using the second screen refresh rate, and the screen refresh rate corresponding to the currently running application in the correspondence is modified based on the second screen refresh rate.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the screen refresh rate control method provided in this disclosure is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a screen refresh rate control process according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 In this system, the supported screen refresh rates for electronic devices include 30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz. The first area is the sidebar of the electronic device screen. Adjusting the screen refresh rate involves pulling a custom refresh rate control switch from the right side of the electronic device to the left. The system running on the electronic device includes a window management module, a user-defined refresh rate switch module, a refresh rate cloud control management module, and a display refresh driver module. The window management module determines the currently running focus window of the foreground application and sends the focus window information to the user-defined refresh rate switch module. The user-defined refresh rate switch module provides the user with an interface to switch refresh rates. The refresh rate cloud control management module obtains the refresh rate levels supported by the device, obtains the refresh rate value of the focus window, stores the refresh rate value of the user-selected focus window, and sends the refresh rate value of the focus window to the display screen. The display refresh driver module obtains all the refresh rate levels supported by the device and receives the refresh rate drive screen display from the refresh rate cloud control management module.

[0074] exist Figure 7In this process, the electronic device identifies the focus window of the application currently running in the foreground (corresponding to the application currently running on the electronic device), and reads the default refresh rate R1 (corresponding to the first screen refresh rate) of the current focus window from the window refresh rate policy database (corresponding to the correspondence between applications and screen refresh rates) of the refresh rate cloud control module, and sets the screen refresh rate of the current focus window to R1 through the refresh rate distribution module. If the refresh rate R1 of the current focus window is greater than the minimum refresh rate Rm that the electronic device can support, then when the electronic device does not detect any touch operation and the screen of the electronic device does not refresh, the refresh rate of the current focus window is reduced from R1 to the minimum refresh rate Rm. If the default refresh rate R1 of the current focus window is less than the minimum refresh rate Rm, then the current focus window remains at Rm. In response to detecting the action of pulling out a custom refresh rate control switch from the right side to the left side of the electronic device, it is checked whether the custom refresh rate control switch is being turned on for the first time. When the custom refresh rate control switch is first pulled out from the sidebar, the electronic device will obtain all supported refresh rate levels (30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz) through the refresh rate cloud control module, store them, and display them in the storage area corresponding to the sidebar switch. If the custom refresh rate control switch is not first pulled out from the sidebar, all supported refresh rate levels in the storage area corresponding to the sidebar switch will be directly displayed and shown in the sidebar, avoiding duplicate acquisition of refresh rate levels. If no refresh rate selection is detected, the refresh rate of the current focused window remains R1. When a selection of refresh rate R2 (corresponding to the second screen refresh rate) in the sidebar is detected, the custom refresh rate control switch will store the application information displayed in the current focused window and the corresponding refresh rate R2 in the window refresh rate policy database of the refresh rate cloud control module. It will then set the screen refresh rate of the current focused window to R2 through the refresh rate distribution module. When switching focused windows, the above operation is repeated to determine the screen refresh rate corresponding to the application displayed in the current focused window.

[0075] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the focus window of the currently running application of the electronic device is identified and displayed at the first screen refresh rate corresponding to the currently running application. When a screen refresh rate adjustment operation is received, one or more screen refresh rates supported by the electronic device are displayed in the first area of ​​the electronic device screen to provide multiple adjustable screen refresh rates and improve the flexibility of screen refresh rate adjustment operations.

[0076] Based on the same concept, this disclosure also provides a screen refresh rate control device.

[0077] It is understood that the screen refresh rate control device provided in this disclosure includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to each function in order to achieve the above-mentioned functions. In conjunction with the units and algorithm steps of the various examples disclosed in this disclosure, this disclosure can be implemented in hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed by hardware or by computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered beyond the scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure.
