[0023] This application provides an interactive method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the interaction method includes steps S101 to S103.
[0024] S101, Obtain the first input signal for the first region; In a scenario where two different electronic devices are connected to each other via a connector, the first area can be either the touchpad or the screen of one of the electronic devices. The user can input a first input signal by operating the touchpad or controlling the screen of the electronic device, thereby controlling the associated display of the two different screens (not shown in the figure).
[0025] In scenarios where two different display screens of an electronic device are linked for display, the first area can be the bent or folded portion of the electronic device (e.g., Figure 2 and Figure 3 (As shown). Optionally, the electronic device has a complete flexible display screen that can be folded from one side to the other via a roller to form three different areas: a first area, a second area, and a third area, which belong to different sides of the same screen. The first area can be a bent or folded section of the electronic device, the second area is the screen on the first side of the electronic device, and the third area is the screen on the second side of the electronic device. The first area may or may not be displayed. The user can input a first input signal through a button or sliding component set in the first area, thereby controlling the associated display of the two different display screens.
[0026] S102, the first content is displayed in the second area; the first input signal is used to control the display in the second area; In a scenario where two different electronic devices are connected via a connector, the first area can be the touchpad of one of the electronic devices, and the second area can be the display screen of the other electronic device; or, the first area can be the screen of one electronic device, and the second area can be the screen of the other electronic device. The user can input a first input signal by operating the touchpad or controlling the screen of the electronic device, thereby controlling the output display of first content in the second area.
[0027] In scenarios where two different display screens of an electronic device are linked for display, the first area can be the bent or folded portion of the electronic device (e.g., Figure 2 and Figure 3 (As shown). The second area is the screen on the first side of the electronic device. The user can input a first input signal through buttons or sliding components set in the first area to control the output and display of first content in the second area.
[0028] S103, output and display the second content in the third area; the second content is used to reflect the display changes in the second area; the first area, the second area and the third area belong to different screens, or at least two areas belong to different sides of the same screen.
[0029] In a scenario where two different electronic devices are connected via a connector to control the associated display of two different screens, the first area can be the touchpad of one of the electronic devices, the second area can be the screen of the other electronic device, and the third area can be the screen of one of the electronic devices; or, the first area can be the screen of one electronic device, the second area can be the screen of the other electronic device, and the third area can be another screen of the other electronic device. The user can input a first input signal by operating the touchpad or controlling the screen of the electronic device to control the output display of first content in the second area and the output display of second content in the third area. This second content reflects the display status of the first content displayed in the second area.
[0030] In scenarios where two different display screens of an electronic device are linked for display, the first area can be the bent or folded portion of the electronic device (e.g., Figure 2 and Figure 3 (As shown). The second area is the screen on the first side of the electronic device, and the third area is the screen on the second side of the electronic device. The user can input a first input signal through the buttons or sliding components set in the first area to control the output and display of first content in the second area, and control the output and display of second content in the third area. The second content can reflect the display status of the first content displayed in the second area.
[0031] Specifically, in one scenario, there are two different electronic devices: a first electronic device and a second electronic device. The first electronic device includes a display screen and a touchpad, while the second electronic device includes a display screen. The first and second electronic devices are connected via a connector. A first area can be the touchpad of the first electronic device, a second area can be the display screen of the second electronic device, and a third area can be the display screen of the first electronic device (not shown in the diagram). The user can input a first input signal through the touchpad of the first electronic device, thereby controlling the second electronic device connected to the first electronic device to output and display first content, and output and display second content on the display screen of the first electronic device. The second content displayed on the display screen of the first electronic device can reflect changes in the display area of the second area through icons or other means.
[0032] In another scenario, there are two different electronic devices, namely a first electronic device and a second electronic device, connected to each other via a connector. The second electronic device has two different screens: a first area can be the display screen of the first electronic device, a second area is one screen of the second electronic device, and a third area is the other screen of the second electronic device (not shown in the figure). The user can control the display screen of the first electronic device by inputting a first input signal through the keyboard, thereby controlling the display of first content on one screen of the second electronic device and second content on the other screen. The second content displayed on the other screen can reflect the display changes in the second area through icons or other means.
[0033] In another scenario, there is an electronic device with a single, flexible display screen. This screen can be folded from one side to the other via a roll to form three distinct areas: a first area, a second area, and a third area. These three areas belong to different sides of the same screen. The first area can be a bent or folded section of the electronic device, the second area is the screen on the first side of the electronic device, and the third area is the screen on the second side of the electronic device. The first and second sides are opposite sides (see [reference]). Figure 2 and Figure 3 (As shown). The first area may or may not be displayed. The user can input a first input signal by pressing or sliding in the first area, thereby controlling the output display of the first content in the second area and the output display of the second content in the third area. The second content displayed in the third area can reflect the display changes of the second area through icons or other means.
[0034] This application embodiment obtains a first input signal from the user in a first area, then outputs and displays first content in a second area, and outputs and displays second content in a third area. The second content reflects the display changes in the second area. The user can directly perform interactive operations in the first area, and when the user is facing the third area, the user can perceive the real-time status of the content displayed in the second area.
[0035] Optionally, the first area is an interactive area, which can be set at the top edge of the screen (e.g., ...). Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the image, users do not need to move their hands to the back of the screen to operate the device, nor do they need to rotate the electronic device, making it more convenient.
[0036] In some embodiments, obtaining a first input signal for a first region includes: In response to the fact that the first area belongs to the first type of screen, a first type of input signal is obtained; the first type of screen is used to output and display images, and the first type of input signal is an external signal from an external device; The first type of screen can be a touchpad or the screen of an electronic device.
[0037] This embodiment can be in a scenario where two different display screens of two different electronic devices are associated and displayed together. The two different electronic devices are connected by a connector, namely a first electronic device and a second electronic device. The first electronic device and the second electronic device are connected by a connector.
[0038] In the first scenario, the first area can be the touchpad of the first electronic device, the second area can be the display screen of the second electronic device, and the third area can be the display screen of the first electronic device (not shown in the figure). The user can input the first input signal through the touchpad connected to the first electronic device.
[0039] In the second scenario, the second electronic device has two different screens. The first area can be the display screen of the first electronic device, the second area is one screen of the second electronic device, and the third area is another screen of the second electronic device (not shown in the figure). The user can control the display screen of the first electronic device to input the first input signal through an external keyboard.
[0040] In response to the first area belonging to a second type screen or a third type screen, a second type input signal is obtained; the second type screen is used for touch response, the third type screen is used for output display image and touch response, and the second type input signal is a touch signal from the screen.
[0041] The second type of screen can be a touchpad, which only receives touch signals and does not display anything in the first area. For example, combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first, second, and third areas constitute a complete flexible display screen. A touchpad is positioned above the flexible display screen in the first area, and this touchpad is connected to the flexible display screens in the second and third areas. The flexible display screen in the first area is not displaying anything. By inputting touch signals through the touchpad in the first area, different content can be displayed in the second and third areas.
[0042] The third type of screen can be a touchscreen, which can both receive touch signals and display content. For example, combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first, second, and third areas constitute a complete flexible display screen. The flexible display screen in the first area both receives touch signals and displays images. By inputting touch signals into the flexible display screen in the first area, different content can be displayed in the second and third areas.
[0043] In some embodiments, the first content is displayed in the second area and the second content is displayed in the third area, including any of the following: The display information of the first interactive element in the second area is changed, and the information representing the change is output in the third area; the display information of the first interactive element reflects the login status of the first application. Optionally, the first interactive element in the second area can display the login status information of the first application. The first area may include multiple sub-areas, combined with... Figure 5 and Figure 6 The login status can include available (online), busy, leave (away), and offline (offline), with each login status corresponding to a sub-region.
[0044] Users can manually switch states in the first area. For example, users can move their fingers to trigger different sub-areas, quickly switching states and changing the displayed information of the first interactive element in the second area. For instance, if the first interactive element in the second area originally displays the first application's login status as offline, the user can trigger the sub-area corresponding to "available" to switch the login status from offline to available. Simultaneously, the login status of the first application can be reflected as an icon in the edge area of the third area, near the edge of the first area. In this scenario, when the electronic device is in normal use, the user can perceive the login status of the first application displayed in the second area while facing the screen of the third area. Furthermore, reflecting the login status of the first application as an icon in the edge area of the third area near the edge of the first area does not occupy a window of the third area's display screen and does not affect the user's normal use of the third area's display screen.
[0045] The display information of the second interactive element in the second region is changed, and information representing the change in display information is output in the third region; the display information of the second interactive element reflects the configuration parameters of at least one piece of hardware of the electronic device.
[0046] Optionally, the second interactive element in the second area can display configuration parameters of at least one hardware of the electronic device, such as brightness, sound, microphone, battery mode, etc.
[0047] Users can manually adjust or switch the state in the first area. For example, users can move their fingers to trigger different sub-areas to adjust configuration parameters, thereby changing the display information of the second interactive element in the second area. For instance, if the second interactive element in the second area is originally displayed at low brightness, the user can trigger the corresponding sub-area to adjust the brightness of the second area from low to high. Simultaneously, the brightness status can be reflected as an icon in the edge area of the third area near the edge of the first area. In this scenario of normal use of the electronic device, the user can perceive the brightness status of the second area when facing the screen of the third area. Furthermore, reflecting the brightness status as an icon in the edge area of the third area near the edge of the first area does not occupy the window of the third area's display screen and does not affect the user's normal use of the third area's display screen.
[0048] Optionally, the second content can be icons, application labels, etc., which can reflect changes in the display of the second area (e.g., Figure 5 and Figure 6 (As shown). The icons, application labels, etc., can be placed in the edge area of the third area, for example, at the top, left, or right of the third area's screen. This embodiment displays icons, application labels, etc., that reflect changes in the second area's display in the edge area of the third area's screen. This not only reflects the changes in the second area's display but also does not occupy the window of the third area's display screen, thus not affecting the user's normal use of the third area's display screen.
[0049] Optionally, the first area can not only implement some functional components, such as switching the login status of the first application, but also implement other functions, such as quick email viewing (Outlook), quick calendar viewing (Teams), quick launch of third-party apps (Launch App), window delivery (quickly transferring a window opened in the third area to the second area), and calling AI functions in the second area to use in the third area, etc.
[0050] For example, such as Figure 7 The diagram shown illustrates how the AI functionality of the second area is used in the third area. Figure 7 (a) in the diagram is a schematic diagram of the third region of the electronic device. Figure 7 (b) in the diagram is a schematic diagram of the second area of the electronic device. The user inputs a first input signal in the first area by pressing or sliding, and the AI assistant interface is displayed in the second area. At the same time, the AI assistant icon is displayed at the upper edge of the third area. The user can use the AI function through the screen of the second area, or use the AI function originally in the second area through the AI assistant icon in the third area.
[0051] This application embodiment improves user work efficiency by performing interactive operations in the first area without occupying the screen space in the third area.
[0052] In some embodiments, the interaction method further includes: In response to the first input signal being a continuously changing signal, continuously changing first visual information is output in the first region; The first region includes multiple sub-regions. The continuously changing signal represents the interaction position changing continuously from the first sub-region to other sub-regions. The signals in different sub-regions correspond to different visual information.
[0053] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first region includes multiple sub-regions, each sub-region corresponding to a different first input signal, and each sub-region corresponds to different visual information.
[0054] For example, if a user wants to display wallpaper in the second area, the user can input a first input signal in the corresponding sub-area by pressing or sliding, and the wallpaper will be displayed in the second area. Meanwhile, the first area will output visual information of dynamic colored light corresponding to the sub-area. Thus, by observing the visual information of dynamic colored light, the user will perceive that the wallpaper is currently displayed in the second area.
[0055] For example, if a user wants the translation function to be displayed in the second area, the user can input a first input signal by pressing or swiping in the corresponding sub-area. This input will then activate the translation function in the second area, and the first area will output a flowing, iridescent visual message of the corresponding letters. By observing the iridescent, iridescent letters, the user perceives that the second area is currently displaying the translation function.
[0056] In this embodiment, different visual information is corresponding to the sub-regions of the first region. When the user inputs the first input signal in the corresponding sub-region, the corresponding visual information is displayed in the first region. Thus, the user can perceive the real-time status of the content displayed in the second region by observing the visual information in the first region. This eliminates the need for the user to move their hand to the back of the screen or rotate the electronic device, making it more convenient.
[0057] In some embodiments, displaying second content in a third area includes: The third region outputs continuously changing second visual information, with the first visual information and the second visual information showing a visual gradient effect.
[0058] Optionally, the first visual information can correspond to the second visual information.
[0059] For example, if a user wants to display wallpaper in the second area, they can input a first input signal by pressing or swiping in the corresponding sub-area. This will display the wallpaper in the second area, while the first area will output dynamic, flowing colored light visual information corresponding to that sub-area. An icon will be displayed at the edge of the third area to reflect the display change in the second area, and this icon will also display the flowing colored light visual information. By observing the dynamic, flowing colored light visual information, the user perceives that the second area is currently displaying wallpaper, thus enhancing the user's perception that the content displayed in the second area is wallpaper.
[0060] In some embodiments, the interaction method further includes: At least one fourth content is displayed in the third area output to guide the input of the first input signal; The first region includes multiple sub-regions, and the display area of each fourth content corresponds to each sub-region of the first region. Different sub-regions correspond to different first input signals.
[0061] For example, combined Figure 4 As shown, the fourth content can include various icons, such as finger icons, sound icons, AI function icons, etc., to guide users to control the second area to display the corresponding function by touching the first area with their fingers, and the third area can reflect the display status of the second area in the form of icons, etc.
[0062] In some embodiments, the interaction method further includes at least one of the following: A second input signal is obtained for a first region, and third content is output and displayed in at least a portion of a third region; the third content includes at least a portion of the display content in the second region. Obtain a third input signal for the first region, and do not display the third content in the third region; Obtain a fourth input signal for the first region, do not display the third content in the third region, and change the display content in the second region.
[0063] This application embodiment can achieve mirrored display of the second and third regions through interactive operations in the first region. The display screen of the second region is smaller than the display screen of the third region.
[0064] Specifically, in combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of what the electronic device originally displayed. Figure 9 This is a diagram illustrating the mirrored display of an electronic device. Figure 8 and Figure 9 (a) in the diagram is a schematic diagram of the third region of the electronic device. Figure 8 and Figure 9 (b) in the diagram is a schematic diagram of the second region of the electronic device.
[0065] like Figure 8 As shown, the user inputs a second input signal via touch in the first area. This second input signal is used to mirror the third content. Based on the second input signal, the same third content as in the second area is displayed in at least a portion of the third area (e.g., ...). Figure 9 (As shown). This third piece of content is different from the content originally displayed in the third area and the content displayed in the second area.
[0066] like Figure 9 As shown, if the user inputs a third input signal again in the first area via touch, the mirrored display of the third content will be canceled, the third area will no longer mirror the third content, and the third area will return to its original display content.
[0067] like Figure 9 As shown, if the user inputs a fourth input signal again via touch in the first area, the mirrored display of the third content is canceled, the third area no longer mirrors the third content, and the display content of the second area is changed. The second area also no longer mirrors the third content; that is, both the third and second areas revert to their original displayed content (e.g., Figure 8 (As shown).
[0068] In some embodiments, the interaction method further includes at least one of the following: A fifth input signal is obtained for the first region, and the third region is increased from the first display area to the second display area; Obtain a sixth input signal for the first region, and reduce the third region from the second display area to the first display area; Obtain a fifth input signal for the first region, and reduce the second region from the third display area to the fourth display area; Obtain a sixth input signal for the first region, and increase the second region from the fourth display area to the third display area; The total display area of the third area remains the same as that of the second area.
[0069] The embodiments of this application can achieve changes in the structural form of the electronic device through interactive operations in the first region.
[0070] Specifically, in combination Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, Figure 10 The image shows the original form of the screen in the third and second areas of the electronic device, that is, the screen of the electronic device is in a rolled-up state. Figure 11 The image shows the form of the third and second areas of the electronic device after the screen size has been increased, that is, the screen of the electronic device is rolled out. Figure 10 and Figure 11(a) in the diagram is a schematic diagram of the third region of the electronic device. Figure 10 and Figure 11 (b) in the diagram is a schematic diagram of the second region of the electronic device.
[0071] like Figure 10 As shown, by swiping the fifth input signal from the right edge of the first area to the left, the user changes the shape of the screen in the third and second areas. The screens of the third and second areas roll out, increasing the third area from the first display area to the second display area, and decreasing the second area from the third display area to the fourth display area (e.g., Figure 11 (As shown).
[0072] like Figure 11 As shown, by swiping the sixth input signal from the left edge of the first area to the right, the user changes the shape of the screen in the third and second areas. The screens of the third and second areas roll together, reducing the third area from the second display area to the first display area, and increasing the second area from the fourth display area to the third display area (e.g., Figure 10 (As shown).
[0073] The total display area of the third and second regions remains unchanged. That is, the total display area when the screen is in the rolled-up state (i.e., the sum of the first and third display areas) is equal to the total display area when the screen is out of the rolled-up state (i.e., the sum of the second and fourth display areas). In other words, the total display area of the third and second regions of the electronic device remains unchanged regardless of whether the screen is in the rolled-up or out of the rolled-up state.
[0074] This application also provides an electronic device, including: The first body has a first face and a second face opposite to the first face; The second body is capable of rotating relative to the first body; The first screen has a first area located between the first and second surfaces; The second screen includes a second area located on the first side and a third area located on the second side; The processor is configured to receive a first input signal for a first region, output and display first content in a second region, and output and display second content in a third region.
[0075] The electronic device in this application embodiment acquires a first input signal from the user in a first area, and then outputs and displays first content in a second area and second content in a third area.
