[0104] In response to Figure 1B As shown, by operating the tablet mode component 214A (e.g., clicking), the electronic device 100 can switch to tablet mode and display... Figure 1C The desktop shown is 220. Desktop 220 can be referred to as a tablet desktop.

[0105] like Figure 1CAs shown, the desktop 220 displayed by the electronic device 100 in tablet mode may include a status bar 221, desktop pages 222, page indicators 223, and application dock 224.

[0106] The status bar 221 may include a time indicator, one or more Wi-Fi signal strength indicators, one or more mobile communication signal strength indicators, and a battery status indicator.

[0107] Desktop page 222 can be used to place one or more tablet desktop widgets. Tablet desktop widgets can represent the desktop components of the electronic device 100 in tablet mode. Tablet desktop widgets can include, but are not limited to: app icons, cards, tablet folders, etc. Tablet folders can be used to store one or more app icons.

[0108] For example, on desktop page 222, app icons may include contact app icons, dialer app icons, messaging app icons, app store app icons, etc.; cards may include memo cards, gallery cards; tablet folders may include shopping folders. It can be seen that the size of the card can be larger than the size of the app icon. For example, the card size can be 2×4 (i.e., occupying 2 rows × 4 columns of app icon space), or the card size can also be 2×2 (i.e., occupying 2 rows × 2 columns of app icon space), or the card size can also be 4×4 (i.e., occupying 4 rows × 4 columns of app icon space). This application embodiment does not limit the size of the card. Figure 1C The notes and gallery cards shown are 2x4 in size. The tablet folder can be the same size as the app icon. Alternatively, the tablet folder can be larger than the app icon. The tablet folder can display thumbnails of one or more app icons it contains.

[0109] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can display the content corresponding to the tablet desktop component in response to a click operation performed on the tablet desktop component (e.g., a user clicking the tablet desktop component with their finger). For example, in tablet mode, in response to a click operation on the Contacts app icon, the electronic device 100 can open the Contacts app and display its window. As another example, in response to a click operation on a shopping folder, the e-reader device 100 can expand the shopping folder and display the app icons within it.

[0110] The above-described operations on the tablet desktop component are merely illustrative descriptions of this application and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0111] Page indicator 223 can indicate the positional relationship between the currently displayed desktop page and other desktop pages. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include multiple desktop pages in tablet mode. The page indicator 223 allows the user to know which desktop page is currently being viewed. For example, page indicator 223 may include five indicators. The leftmost indicator in page indicator 223 may have a different display style from the other four indicators. This leftmost indicator can be used to indicate the negative one screen. The four indicators on the right of page indicator 223 can be used to indicate desktop pages containing tablet desktop components. Figure 1C As can be seen, the electronic device 100 displays desktop page 222 on desktop 220. The second indicator from the left in page indicator 223 is selected. That is, the second indicator from the left in page indicator 223 can be used to indicate desktop page 222. In response to an operation for switching desktop pages (e.g., a swipe left or right on the area where the desktop page is located), the electronic device 100 can switch the desktop pages displayed on desktop 220. The selected indicator in page indicator 223 changes as the desktop page is switched.

[0112] Dock 224 can be used to place one or more app icons. In some embodiments, dock 224 may include a persistent area 224A and a recently used area 224B. The persistent area 224A can be used to place one or more app icons that are permanently displayed in the dock. The recently used area 224B can be used to place app icons of one or more apps recently run by the electronic device 100. The desktop app icons in dock 224 can remain displayed when switching desktop pages.

[0113] contrast Figure 1A and Figure 1C It is understood that the desktop displayed by the electronic device 100 in PC mode is different from the desktop displayed in tablet mode. Furthermore, the display style of the PC folder on the PC mode desktop and the tablet folder on the tablet mode desktop can also differ. For example, different PC folders can be represented by the same folder icon. The display style of different tablet folders can be associated with the app icons contained within the tablet folder. A tablet folder can display thumbnails of one or more app icons contained within that tablet folder. The above-described display styles of the electronic device 100's desktop in PC mode and its desktop in tablet mode are merely illustrative examples of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application.

[0114] In tablet mode, in response to Figure 1C The operation of swiping down from the top of the screen, as shown, allows the electronic device 100 to display... Figure 1DThe control center window 225 is shown. The control center window 225 can be a control center window in tablet mode. The above-described operation of bringing up the control center window 225 in tablet mode is merely an illustrative example of this application and should not be construed as limiting this application. The electronic device 100 can also bring up the control center window 225 in response to other user operations in tablet mode.

[0115] like Figure 1D As shown, the control center window 225 may include a PC mode component 225A. The PC mode component 225A can be used to switch the operating mode of the electronic device 100 to PC mode. In some embodiments, in response to operation of the PC mode component 225A, the electronic device 100 can switch to PC mode and display... Figure 1A Desktop 210 is shown.

[0116] The control center window 225 may also include other components. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0117] As can be seen, users can bring up the corresponding control center window to switch working modes when the electronic device 100 is in PC mode or tablet mode. The operation of switching the working modes of the electronic device 100 is simple. This allows users to quickly switch between PC mode and tablet mode, improving the user experience.

[0118] Figures 2A to 2D Examples of other scenarios for switching between tablet mode and PC mode are shown.

[0119] Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 100 can display a desktop 210 in PC mode. The desktop 210 can be referred to the description in the foregoing embodiments. The desktop 210 may include a settings app icon 231. In response to an operation on the settings app icon 231 (e.g., a double-click operation), the electronic device 100 can display on the desktop 210. Figure 2B The settings application window 240 is shown.

[0120] like Figure 2B As shown, the settings application window 240 may include a maximize control 241, a minimize control 242, a close control 243, and desktop and personalization options 244.

[0121] The maximize control 241 can be used to maximize the display of the settings application window 240.

[0122] Minimize control 242 can be used to minimize the settings application window 240.

[0123] The close control 243 can be used to close the settings application window 240.

[0124] Desktop and personalization options 244 can be used to access relevant content for setting the desktop in the settings application window 240.

[0125] like Figure 2B As shown, when the desktop and personalization options 244 are selected, the electronic device 100 can display style options 245, style options 246, tablet mode options 247 and PC mode options 248 in the settings application window 240.

[0126] Style options 245 and 246 can be used to set the desktop style displayed by the electronic device 100 in PC mode. Not limited to style options 245 and 246, the electronic device 100 may provide more options for setting the PC desktop style. This application embodiment does not limit the desktop style displayed by the electronic device 100 in PC mode.

[0127] Tablet mode option 247 can be used to set the operating mode of electronic device 100 to tablet mode.

[0128] PC mode option 248 can be used to set the operating mode of electronic device 100 to PC mode.

[0129] like Figure 2B As shown, PC mode option 248 is currently selected. That is, electronic device 100 is currently in PC mode. In response to... Figure 2B The operation shown for tablet mode option 247 (e.g., a click operation) allows electronic device 100 to switch to tablet mode and display... Figure 2C The user interface 250 shown is an example. User interface 250 can be a settings application's user interface. Understandably, before switching to tablet mode, Figure 2B The settings application window 240 shown is the window displayed at the top of the screen. Therefore, after switching to tablet mode, the electronic device 100 can display the user interface of the settings application corresponding to tablet mode.

[0130] like Figure 2C As shown, the user interface 250 may include a desktop and personalization options 251. The desktop and personalization options 251 can be referenced from the aforementioned desktop and personalization options 244. When the desktop and personalization options 251 are selected, the electronic device 100 may display a tablet mode option 252 and a PC mode option 253 on the user interface 250. The tablet mode option 252 can be used to set the operating mode of the electronic device 100 to tablet mode. The PC mode option 253 can be used to set the operating mode of the electronic device 100 to PC mode. Currently, the tablet mode option 252 is selected, meaning the electronic device 100 is currently in tablet mode.

[0131] In some embodiments, in tablet mode, in response to Figure 2C As shown, by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, the electronic device 100 can return to the home screen, for example, displaying... Figure 2D The desktop 220 is shown. Desktop 220 can be described with reference to the foregoing embodiments.

[0132] As can be seen, in addition to switching between tablet mode and PC mode by bringing up the control center window, users can also switch between tablet mode and PC mode through relevant settings in the settings application. The above operations for switching between tablet mode and PC mode are merely illustrative examples of this application and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0133] In some embodiments, the applications provided by the electronic device 100 in PC mode are the same as those provided in screen mode. Furthermore, in PC mode, the electronic device 100 can display an application center in response to a user's swipe gesture on the desktop, allowing the user to view all applications on the electronic device 100.

[0134] Figures 3A to 3F Examples of scenarios illustrating the operation of some electronic devices are shown.

[0135] like Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device 100 can display desktop 310 in PC mode. Desktop 310 can be referred to in the preceding description. Figure 1A Desktop 210 is shown. In response to a leftward swipe operation on the screen, electronic device 100 can display... Figure 3B The application center interface 320 is shown. The application center interface 320 can be used to provide users with all the apps installed on the electronic device 100.

[0136] like Figure 3BAs shown, the application center interface 320 may include a search control 321, a page 322, and a page indicator 323. The search control 321 can be used to search for apps in the electronic device 100. The page 322 can be used to place one or more app icons. The page indicator 323 can indicate the positional relationship between the page currently displayed on the application center interface 320 and other pages. In some embodiments, the number of app icons that can be placed on a single page in the application center interface 320 is limited. When there are many apps in the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 can place app icons on multiple pages. Through the page indicator 323, the user can know which page is currently being viewed. For example, the page indicator 323 includes three indicators, which can indicate that there are three pages. The leftmost indicator in the page indicator 323 is in a selected state, which can indicate that page 322 is the first page, and there are two more pages after page 322. The electronic device 100 can switch the page displayed on the application center interface 320 to the page after page 322 in response to a left swipe operation on the screen. The selected indicator in page indicator 323 can change as the page displayed on the application center interface 320 changes.

[0137] like Figure 3B As shown, in some embodiments, in PC mode, the electronic device 100 can display an app center icon 311 in the taskbar. In response to an operation on the app center icon 311, the electronic device 100 can display... Figure 3B The application center interface shown is 320.

[0138] The above operations for bringing up the application center interface 320 are merely illustrative examples of this application and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0139] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can determine the display position of the APP icon on the application center interface 320 according to the alphabetical order of the APP name in Pinyin. The earlier the APP name appears in the alphabetical order, the earlier the APP icon appears. Alternatively, the electronic device 100 can determine the display position of the APP icon on the application center interface 320 according to the frequency of APP usage. The higher the frequency of APP usage, the earlier the APP icon appears. Alternatively, the electronic device 100 can determine the display position of the APP icon on the application center interface 320 according to the APP's installation time. The earlier the APP was installed, the earlier the APP icon appears. This application embodiment does not limit the method for determining the display position of the APP icon in the application center interface 320.

[0140] Understandably, in tablet mode, electronic device 100 can switch between different desktop pages in response to the user's left or right swipe gesture on the desktop. The aforementioned display of the application center interface 320 in PC mode, responding to the user's left or right swipe gesture on the desktop to switch pages, can continue the user's operating habits in tablet mode. That is, in both tablet and PC modes, the user can view the apps on electronic device 100 by swiping left or right. This improves the user experience when using both tablet and PC modes on a single electronic device.

[0141] In some embodiments, not limited to viewing different apps in the app center interface 320 by swiping left or right, the electronic device 100 can switch between displaying different app icons in the app center interface 320 in response to swiping up or down.

[0142] like Figure 3C As shown, in PC mode, the desktop 310 displayed by the electronic device 100 may include an app store icon 312. In response to an operation on the app store icon 312, the electronic device 100 can display [the app] on the desktop 310. Figure 3D The application store window shown is 330.

[0143] like Figure 3D As shown, the application store window 330 may include a shopping app icon 331 and an installation control 332. In response to an operation on the installation control 332, the electronic device 100 can install the shopping app corresponding to the shopping app icon 331.

[0144] like Figure 3E As shown, the electronic device 100 can display an application center interface 320. The application center interface 320 can be referred to the description in the foregoing embodiments. The application center interface 320 may include a page 324 and page indicators 323. The rightmost indicator of the page indicators 323 is selected, indicating that page 324 is the last page among all pages on the application center interface 320. Since the electronic device 100 has newly installed... Figure 3D The shopping app shown can be added to page 324 by the electronic device 100. Instead of adding the newly installed app icon to the last page, the electronic device 100 can determine the display position of the newly installed app icon according to a preset app arrangement order, and then display the newly installed app icon in the corresponding position.

[0145] When electronic device 100 switches from PC mode to tablet mode, since the shopping app was installed in PC mode, the shopping app icon can be displayed on the desktop of tablet mode. For example... Figure 3FAs shown, after the electronic device 100 switches to tablet mode, it can display the desktop 330. The desktop 330 can be referenced from the previous description. Figure 1C The desktop 220 is shown. Desktop 330 may include desktop page 331 and page indicator 332. A shopping app icon 331A may be displayed on desktop page 331. The rightmost indicator in page indicator 332 is selected, indicating that desktop page 331 is the last desktop page among all desktop pages.

[0146] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 100 installs a new app in tablet mode, the electronic device 100 can display the app icon of the newly installed app on the desktop of the tablet mode. Then, when the electronic device 100 switches from tablet mode to PC mode, the electronic device 100 can display the app icon of the newly installed app on the application center interface of the PC mode.

[0147] As can be seen, the apps provided by the electronic device 100 in tablet mode and PC mode can be the same and can change synchronously. That is to say, any app used by the user when the electronic device 100 is in tablet mode can also be used by the user when the electronic device 100 is in PC mode. This improves the user experience in both tablet and PC modes. Users do not need to repeatedly download the same app in different working modes.

[0148] In some embodiments, in tablet mode, the display modes of the electronic device 100 may include a single-window full-screen mode and a multi-window stacked mode. The single-window full-screen mode can refer to a mode where the electronic device 100 displays the windows of various apps in full-screen mode. In single-window full-screen mode, a single window can be displayed in full-screen mode on the screen at the same time, and the size of the window is usually fixed and cannot be manually adjusted by the user. The multi-window stacked mode can refer to a mode where the electronic device 100 can display the windows of multiple apps stacked vertically. In multi-window stacked mode, multiple windows can be stacked vertically on the screen at the same time, with the upper window partially or completely covering the lower window, and the size of the window is variable and can be manually adjusted by the user. The above-mentioned single-window full-screen mode and multi-window stacked mode may also be called other names. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0149] Figures 4A to 4F Examples are shown in schematic diagrams of scenarios where the display mode of an electronic device 100 is switched to tablet mode.

[0150] like Figure 4A As shown, in PC mode, the electronic device 100 can display desktop 410. Desktop 410 in PC mode can be referred to the aforementioned... Figure 1AThe desktop 210 is shown. In PC mode, the electronic device 100 can display one or more app windows on the desktop 410. For example, the desktop 410 may include a memo app window 411, a file named "Meeting Minutes.doc" window 412, and a video app window 413. Window 411, window 412, and window 413 are displayed in a stacked manner. Window 411 is on top, partially covering windows 412 and 413.

[0151] like Figure 4B As shown, the electronic device 100 can display a control center window 414 on the desktop 410. The control center window 414 can be referenced from the aforementioned... Figure 1B The control center window 214 is shown. The control center window 414 may include a tablet mode component 414A. In response to... Figure 4B As shown in the operation of the tablet mode component 414A, the electronic device 100 can switch to tablet mode and display... Figure 4C The user interface shown is 420.

[0152] like Figure 4C As shown, user interface 420 can be the user interface corresponding to the Memo app window when it is displayed in full-screen mode. After switching to tablet mode, electronic device 100 can also display window 421. Window 421 can be used by the user to set the display mode of electronic device 100 in tablet mode. Window 421 may include a multi-window stacking option 421A and a single-window full-screen option 421B. Multi-window stacking option 421A can be used to set the display mode of electronic device 100 to multi-window stacking mode. Single-window full-screen option 421B can be used to set the display mode of electronic device 100 to single-window full-screen mode.

[0153] like Figure 4C As shown, the single-window fullscreen option 421B is currently selected, indicating that the electronic device 100 is currently in single-window fullscreen mode. Specifically, in the scenario of switching from PC mode to tablet mode, if the electronic device 100's display mode in tablet mode is single-window fullscreen, the electronic device 100 can display the topmost window shown in PC mode in fullscreen mode.

[0154] In some embodiments, in single-window full-screen mode, the electronic device 100 can respond to a user's single-finger or three-finger swipe up from the bottom of the screen to exit the currently displayed full-screen window and display the desktop in tablet mode. This application embodiment does not limit the user operations described above for returning to the desktop.

[0155] In response to Figure 4C As shown in the operation of the multi-window overlay option 421A, the electronic device 100 can switch the display mode to multi-window overlay mode, and the display... Figure 4DThe window shown is 431.

[0156] like Figure 4D As shown, the electronic device 100 can display window 431 on desktop 430. Window 431 can be a window of a memo app. Window 431 can include a maximize control 431A, a minimize control 431B, and a close control 431C. The maximize control 431A can be used to maximize the window 431. The minimize control 431B can be used to minimize the window 431. The close control 431C can be used to close the window 431. In addition, the electronic device 100 can also change the size of window 431 in response to the operation of adjusting the size of window 431. The electronic device 100 can also change the display position of window 431 on the screen in response to the operation of moving window 431. It can be seen that when switching from single-window full-screen mode to multi-window cascading mode, the electronic device 100 can... Figure 4C The full-screen display of the Notes app window shown has changed to... Figure 4D A window whose size and display position can be changed.

[0157] like Figure 4D As shown, the multi-window stacking option 421A in window 421 is selected, indicating that the electronic device 100 is in multi-window stacking mode. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can de-display window 421 on the screen in response to the operation of closing window 421. The operation for closing window 421 may include, but is not limited to, a sliding operation on the area where window 421 is located. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can display window 421 on the screen in response to the operation of bringing up window 421. The operation for bringing up window 421 may include, but is not limited to, a long press. Figure 4B The operation of the flat panel mode component 414A shown.

[0158] In tablet mode, the desktop 430 of the electronic device 100 may also include a video app icon 432. (In response to...) Figure 4D The operation shown for the video app icon 432 can be displayed on the electronic device 100. Figure 4E The video app window shown is 433.

[0159] like Figure 4EAs shown, in tablet mode, the electronic device 100 can display multiple windows stacked on the screen. Window 433 is displayed on the top layer, partially covering window 431 below it. The size and position of window 433 are variable. The user can adjust the size and position of window 433 as needed. In some embodiments, when window 433 is displayed on the top layer, in response to an operation on window 431 (e.g., a click operation), the electronic device 100 can move window 431 to the top layer. After window 431 is moved to the top layer, it can partially cover window 433 below it.

[0160] In some embodiments, when switching from PC mode to tablet mode, if the display mode of the electronic device 100 in tablet mode is a multi-window stacking mode, the electronic device 100 can continue to stack the multiple windows that are stacked in PC mode in tablet mode.

[0161] like Figure 4F As shown, in tablet mode, the electronic device 100 can display a user interface 440. The user interface 440 can be the user interface corresponding to when the settings application window is displayed full-screen on the screen. The user interface 440 can be referenced from the aforementioned... Figure 2C The user interface 250 is shown. The user interface 440 may include a tablet mode option 441 and a PC mode option 442. Tablet mode option 441 can be used to set the operating mode of the electronic device 100 to tablet mode. PC mode option 442 can be used to set the operating mode of the electronic device 100 to PC mode. In some embodiments, when tablet mode option 441 is selected, the electronic device 100 may display... Figure 4F The window 443 shown is used by the user to set the display mode of the electronic device 100 in tablet mode. Window 443 may include a multi-window cascading option 443A and a single-window full-screen option 443B. The multi-window cascading option 443A and the single-window full-screen option 443B can be referred to the foregoing. Figure 4C The multi-window cascading option 421A and the single-window full-screen option 421B are shown.

[0162] In some embodiments, in multi-window stacking mode, the electronic device 100 can respond to a user's single-finger or three-finger swipe up from the bottom of the screen to cancel the display of all windows on the current desktop and display a tablet-mode desktop. Alternatively, in response to a user's operation of minimizing or closing all windows on the desktop one by one, the electronic device can minimize or close all windows on the desktop one by one and display a tablet-mode desktop. This application embodiment does not limit the user operations described above for returning to the desktop.

[0163] As can be seen, users can switch the display mode of the electronic device 100 in tablet mode between multi-window cascading mode and single-window full-screen mode in multiple ways. This can improve the user experience in tablet mode. The above operations for setting the display mode of the electronic device 100 in tablet mode are merely illustrative examples of this application and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0164] In some embodiments, in tablet mode, the electronic device 100 may be displayed only in a single-window full-screen mode or only in a multi-window overlay mode.

[0165] In some embodiments, in tablet mode, the electronic device 100 can display files and / or PC folders on the desktop in PC mode within a file management app. This allows users to quickly find files and / or folders placed on the PC desktop when the electronic device 100 is in tablet mode. The aforementioned PC desktop refers to the desktop displayed by the electronic device 100 in PC mode.

[0166] Figures 5A-5C Examples are shown in the diagrams illustrating some scenarios of viewing files and folders on a PC desktop in tablet mode.

[0167] like Figure 5A As shown, in tablet mode, the electronic device 100 can display a desktop 510. The desktop 510 can be referenced from the aforementioned... Figure 1C The desktop 220 is shown. Desktop 510 may include a file management app icon 511. In response to an operation on the file management app icon 511, the electronic device 100 can display... Figure 5B The user interface 520 shown is the user interface of the file management app.

[0168] like Figure 5B As shown, the user interface 520 may include a PC desktop option 521. The PC desktop option 521 can be used to view file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop. When the PC desktop option 521 is selected, the electronic device 100 can display file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop in area 523 of the user interface 520. The file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop can be referenced from the foregoing... Figure 1A The desktop 210 shows file icons and PC folders. The user interface 520 may also include a search control 522. The search control 522 can be used to search for files and folders on the PC desktop.

[0169] For example, area 523 may include a file icon 524 for a file named "Meeting Minutes.doc". In response to an operation on file icon 524, electronic device 100 can open the corresponding file and display it. Figure 5CThe user interface shown is 530.

[0170] like Figure 5C As shown, user interface 530 is the user interface for the file named "Meeting Minutes.doc". Users can view the contents of the file named "Meeting Minutes.doc" and perform editing operations through user interface 530.

[0171] Not limited to file management applications, the electronic device 100 can also display controls for viewing file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop in other locations in tablet mode.

[0172] In some embodiments, the files and / or PC folders displayed on the PC desktop of the electronic device 100 in tablet mode are synchronized with the files and / or folders displayed on the desktop of the electronic device 100 in PC mode.

[0173] Figures 6A to 6D Examples of scenarios for adjusting files / folders on a PC desktop are shown.

[0174] like Figure 6A As shown, the electronic device 100 can display a user interface 610. The user interface 610 can be referenced... Figure 5B The user interface shown is 520.

[0175] The user interface 610 may include file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop. For example, a file icon corresponding to an image file named "Cat.jpg", a file icon corresponding to a document file named "Meeting Minutes.doc", a file icon corresponding to a spreadsheet file named "Data.xlsx", a study materials folder, and a weekly report folder. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may add file icons and / or folders to the user interface 610 in response to user operations.

[0183] Desktop page 711 may include one or more app icons, such as a clock app icon, an email app icon, a calculator app icon, and so on.

[0184] In some embodiments, if the electronic device 100 contains file icons and / or a PC folder on its desktop in PC mode, the electronic device 100 may display on the last desktop page (e.g., desktop page 711) in tablet mode. Figure 7A The PC desktop file card 712 is shown. The PC desktop file card 712 can be used to place file icons and PC folders displayed on the desktop of the electronic device 100 in PC mode. Examples include file icons for image files named "Cat.jpg", document files named "Meeting Minutes.doc", spreadsheet files named "Data.xlsx", folders for exam preparation materials, weekly reports, etc. In this way, in tablet mode, the user can easily see which files and folders are present on the PC desktop through the PC desktop file card 712.

[0185] Not limited to the last desktop page in tablet mode, PC desktop file cards can also be displayed on other desktop pages in tablet mode.

[0186] In some embodiments, the size of the PC desktop file card 712 can be 4×4. This application embodiment does not limit the size of the PC desktop file card 712.

[0187] In some embodiments, the PC desktop file card 712 may include some file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop. For example, the electronic device 100 may place the file icons and PC folders of the most recently modified files in the PC desktop file card 712 based on the modification time of the files and PC folders. Alternatively, the electronic device 100 may place the file icons and PC folders of the largest files in the PC desktop file card 712 based on the size of the files and PC folders. This application embodiment does not limit the method by which the electronic device 100 selects some file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop to place in the PC desktop file card 712.

[0188] In some embodiments, in response to a swipe operation (e.g., swipe left / right / swipe up / swipe down) on the PC desktop file card 712, the electronic device 100 can switch the file icons and PC folders displayed on the PC desktop file card 712.

[0189] like Figure 7AAs shown, the PC desktop file card 712 may also include an expand control 712A. The expand control 712A can be used to open a page on the electronic device 100 in tablet mode for viewing files and PC folders on the PC desktop.

[0190] In some embodiments, in response to an operation on any file icon or PC folder in the PC desktop file card 712, the electronic device 100 can open the corresponding file or PC folder. For example, in response to... Figure 7A The operation shown for file icon 712B (e.g., a click operation) allows electronic device 100 to open the file corresponding to file icon 712B and display it. Figure 7B The user interface shown is 720.

[0191] like Figure 7B As shown, the user interface 720 contains the file content of a file named "Meeting Minutes.doc".

[0192] As can be seen, the file icons and PC folders in the PC desktop file card 712 can be used to open the corresponding files and PC folders. This allows users to quickly view and edit files and folders on the PC desktop when the electronic device 100 is in tablet mode, improving the user experience of using the electronic device 100.

[0193] like Figure 7C As shown, in response to an operation on the expand control 712A (e.g., a click operation), the electronic device 100 can open the file management APP and display... Figure 7D The user interface shown is 730.

[0194] like Figure 7D As shown, the user interface 730 may include a PC desktop option 731. The PC desktop option 731 is selected, and the user interface 730 may include file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop. For details of the user interface 730, please refer to the preceding description. Figure 5B The user interface shown is 520.

[0195] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may display an app card on the desktop in PC mode. When switching to tablet mode, the electronic device 100 may display the card from the PC desktop on the desktop in tablet mode.

[0196] Figures 8A to 8D Examples of desktop display scenarios in tablet mode and PC mode are shown.

[0197] like Figure 8AAs shown, in PC mode, electronic device 100 can display desktop 810. Desktop 810 may include PC desktop components, such as a card 811 corresponding to a weather app, a card 812 corresponding to a music app, a contact app icon, a dialer app icon, a study materials folder, a file icon for an image file named "Cat.jpg", etc.

[0198] like Figure 8B As shown, when switching from PC mode to tablet mode, the electronic device 100 can display... Figure 8B The desktop 820 is shown. The desktop 820 may include a desktop page 821 and a page indicator 822. The rightmost indicator of the page indicator 822 may be selected, indicating that the desktop page 821 is the last desktop page in the electronic device 100.

[0199] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may display cards on the PC desktop, including file icons and PC folders, on the last desktop page (e.g., desktop page 821) in tablet mode.

[0200] like Figure 8B As shown, desktop page 821 may include card 823, card 824, and PC desktop file card 825. It can be seen that card 823 is... Figure 8A Card 811 is shown. Card 824 is... Figure 8A The card 812 shown. The PC desktop file card 825 may include Figure 8A The file icons and PC folder on desktop 810 are shown. PC desktop file cards 825 can be referenced from the above. Figure 7A The PC desktop file card 712 is shown.

[0201] In some embodiments, if the last desktop page in the current tablet mode desktop does not have enough space to display the cards and / or file cards on the PC desktop, the electronic device 100 can create a new desktop page and display the cards and / or file cards on the PC desktop on the new desktop page. Not limited to the last desktop page in the tablet mode desktop, the electronic device 100 can also display the cards and / or file cards on the PC desktop on other desktop pages in the tablet mode desktop.

[0202] In some embodiments, before displaying a card from the PC desktop on the tablet mode desktop, the electronic device 100 can also detect whether there is a card on the tablet desktop that is identical to a card on the PC desktop. The tablet desktop can represent the desktop displayed by the electronic device 100 in tablet mode. If there is already a card on the tablet desktop that is identical to a card on the PC desktop, the electronic device 100 can add a card that is present on the PC desktop but not on the tablet desktop after switching to tablet mode, without needing to add a card that is present on both the PC desktop and the tablet desktop. This avoids displaying the same card repeatedly on the tablet desktop.

[0203] In some embodiments, if the electronic device 100 does not contain file icons and a / PC folder on its desktop in PC mode, the electronic device 100 may not need to display the PC desktop file card on the tablet desktop after switching to tablet mode. When the electronic device 100 adds file icons and a / PC folder to its desktop in PC mode and switches to tablet mode for the first time, the electronic device 100 can directly display the desktop page containing the PC desktop file card (e.g., the last desktop page in tablet mode). Optionally, the electronic device 100 may also flash the PC desktop file card for a preset time period to prompt the user that a PC desktop file card has been added to the tablet mode.

[0204] In some embodiments, when all file icons and the PC folder are deleted from the PC desktop, the electronic device 100 can still retain the PC desktop file cards on the tablet desktop after switching to tablet mode. Since there are no file icons and the PC folder on the PC desktop, the PC desktop file cards on the tablet desktop can be empty.

[0205] like Figure 8C As shown, in PC mode, PC desktop components (such as app icons, file icons, cards, and PC folders) on desktop 810 are removed. When electronic device 100 switches to tablet mode, electronic device 100 can display... Figure 8D The desktop shown is 820. (Comparison) Figure 8B and Figure 8D It can be seen that because the PC desktop components on the PC desktop have been cleared, electronic device 100 can be deleted from desktop 820. Figure 8B Cards 823 and 824 are shown, and the file icons and PC folder in PC Desktop Files card 825 are also deleted. Therefore, Figure 8D The PC desktop file card 825 shown is empty.

[0206] In some embodiments, when all file icons and PC folders are deleted from the PC desktop, the electronic device 100 can delete PC desktop file cards on the tablet desktop after switching to tablet mode.

[0207] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can respond to an operation of moving the PC desktop file card 825 by moving the PC desktop file card 825 to a target location. The electronic device 100 can also respond to an operation of removing the PC desktop file card 825 by removing the PC desktop file card 825 from the tablet desktop.

[0208] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may display one or more app cards on the desktop in tablet mode. When switching from tablet mode to PC mode, the electronic device 100 can display the app cards already present on the tablet desktop on the PC mode desktop. That is, the app cards displayed on the tablet desktop and the PC desktop can be the same. This allows users to conveniently use cards added to the desktop in either PC or tablet mode. Furthermore, the above method simplifies the user operation of adding cards to the desktop. After adding a card to the desktop in one working mode, the user does not need to add the card again in another working mode.

[0209] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can change the size of PC desktop file cards.

[0210] Figures 9A to 9E Examples of scenarios using PC desktop file cards are shown.

[0211] like Figure 9A As shown, in tablet mode, the electronic device 100 can display a PC desktop file card 911. The PC desktop file card 911 can be referred to in the preceding description.

In response to an operation on the PC desktop file card 911, such as a long press, the electronic device 100 can display... Figure 9B Option box 912 is shown.

[0212] like Figure 9B As shown, option box 912 may include a remove card option 912A and a set card style option 912B. Remove card option 912A can be used to remove the PC desktop file card 911. Set card style option 912B can be used to set the display style of the PC desktop file card 911. In response to the operation of the set card style option 912B, electronic device 100 can display... Figure 9C The user interface shown is 920.

[0213] like Figure 9CAs shown, the user interface 920 may include multiple options corresponding to different card styles, such as option 921, option 922, and option 923. Option 921 can be used to set the size of the PC desktop file card 911 to 4×4. Option 922 can be used to set the size of the PC desktop file card 911 to 2×4. Option 923 can be used to set the size of the PC desktop file card to 2×2. (Not limited to...) Figure 9C As shown in the options, the electronic device 100 can also provide more or fewer card styles.

[0214] In response to Figure 9C The operation of option 922 shown can be displayed by electronic device 100. Figure 9D The PC desktop file card 913 is shown. (Comparison) Figure 9A and Figure 9D As can be seen, the size of the PC desktop file card has changed from 4×4 to 2×4.

[0215] like Figure 9D As shown, in response to an upward swipe operation on the PC desktop file card 913, the electronic device 100 can switch the file icons and PC folders displayed on the PC desktop file card 913. Figure 9E The PC desktop file card 913 is shown.

[0216] As can be seen, users can adjust the display style of the PC desktop file cards as needed, thus personalizing the desktop layout in tablet mode. Furthermore, users can switch file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop by swiping and other operations to find multiple file icons and folders on the PC desktop. This allows users to quickly view file icons and PC folders on the PC desktop in tablet mode, improving the user experience.

[0217] In some embodiments, instead of placing file icons and PC folders from the PC desktop in cards on the tablet desktop, the electronic device 100 may also place file icons and PC folders from the PC desktop in tablet folders on the tablet desktop, or place file icons and PC folders from the PC desktop on the tablet desktop itself. This allows users to conveniently view files and PC folders from the PC desktop when the electronic device 100 is in tablet mode.

[0218] Figures 10A to 10D Examples are shown illustrating other scenarios where file icons and PC folders on a PC desktop are displayed in tablet mode.

[0219] like Figure 10A As shown, in tablet mode, the electronic device 100 can display a desktop 1010.
