Description

Information display methods, electronic devices, and readable storage media Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of terminal technology, specifically to an information display method, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of communication technology, electronic devices can now accommodate multiple SIM cards. These SIM cards are all in standby mode after insertion, allowing the device to make calls, receive calls, and send text messages. For example, if a user has two SIM cards in their mobile phone, they can use one SIM card to communicate with work-related personnel and the other to communicate with family and friends, thus separating their work and personal lives.

[0003] Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method for displaying information, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium, which can hide information to protect user privacy. The technical solution is as follows:

[0005] Firstly, a method for displaying information is provided, applied in an electronic device, the method comprising:

[0006] When the first user interface of the first system is displayed, a first message from the first number to the first SIM card is received, wherein the first SIM card is the SIM card bound to the second system of the electronic device; when the second system is not turned on and the message hiding function is turned on, the first information of the first number is not displayed on the first user interface of the first system; a first operation is received on the first user interface, and the second user interface of the second system is displayed; wherein the second user interface includes a first prompt message, which indicates that there is a message to the first SIM card when the second system is not turned on.

[0007] As an example, the first system in this application embodiment can also be referred to as the main space, and the first user interface can be any application interface in the first system. For example, the first user interface can be the main space desktop, any application interface of the settings application, the lock screen interface, etc.

[0008] As an example, the second system in this application embodiment can also be referred to as a parallel space, and the second user interface can be the application interface in the second system, which can be the desktop of the parallel space.

[0009] It should be noted that the first operation is the operation of causing the electronic device to display the interface of the second system, and this first operation can also be different depending on the first user interface. For example, when the first user interface is the main space desktop, the first operation can be a click operation on the application icon of the parallel space application in the main space desktop, or a finger-expanding operation in the main space desktop. Alternatively, when the first user interface is a drop-down menu interface in the main space, the first operation can be a click operation on the parallel space shortcut key, etc. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0010] In this way, one of the SIM cards can be added to the second system for use. After the SIM card is added to the second system, when the electronic device receives a message from the first number to the first SIM card, it will not display the first information of the first number, thereby achieving the hiding of user information, protecting the user's privacy information, and reducing the risk of privacy information leakage.

[0011] As an example of this application, the first message includes incoming call messages and / or incoming mail messages, and the message hiding function includes incoming call hiding function and / or message hiding function;

[0012] When the second system is not enabled and the message hiding function is enabled, if the first message includes an incoming call message, no incoming call reminder will be displayed on the first user interface; and / or, when the second system is not enabled and the message hiding function is enabled, if the first message includes an incoming email message, no incoming call reminder will be displayed on the first user interface.

[0013] In other words, when the second system is off and the call hiding function is enabled, if the electronic device receives a call from the first number to the first SIM card, the electronic device will continue to display the first user interface without providing any notification of the incoming call. Similarly, when the second system is off and the message hiding function is enabled, if the electronic device receives a text message from the first number to the first SIM card, the electronic device will also continue to display the first user interface without providing any notification of the text message.

[0014] In this way, since the electronic device can hide the information related to the first SIM card without displaying the first user interface, the user's privacy is protected.

[0015] As an example of this application, when the first message includes an incoming call message, the first notification information includes the number of missed calls; when the first message includes an incoming email message, the first notification information includes the number of unread SMS messages.

[0016] It should be noted that when the first message includes incoming call messages, the first notification information may include not only the number of missed calls, but also the time of the missed calls and the number of the missed calls. When the first message includes incoming email messages, the first notification information may include not only the number of unread SMS messages, but also the time of the unread SMS messages and the sender's ID number of the unread SMS messages.

[0017] In this way, the first notification message includes the number of missed call information and / or unread SMS messages, so that users can know that there are messages for the first SIM card and avoid missing messages.

[0018] As an example of this application, when the first user interface of the first system is displayed, after receiving the first message from the first number to the first SIM card, the operation performed by the electronic device varies depending on the state of the second system and the message hiding function.

[0019] In one possible implementation, when the second system is not enabled and the message hiding function is not enabled, a first prompt interface is displayed. This first prompt interface is used to prompt the first number to initiate a first message to the first SIM card. The first prompt interface does not display the first information, which includes the name of the first contact corresponding to the first number in the first SIM card.

[0020] In another possible implementation, when the second system is on and the message hiding function is off, or when the second system is on and the message hiding function is on, a third prompt interface is displayed. This third prompt interface is used to prompt the first number to initiate a first message to the first SIM card, and the first information is displayed in the third prompt interface.

[0021] In this way, users can customize the second system and message hiding function to meet their individual needs, achieving information isolation and hiding while also preventing the loss of messages from the first SIM card.

[0022] As an example of this application, the electronic device also includes a second SIM card, which is the SIM card used in the first system. If a call from the first number to the first SIM card fails to connect, the first number may forward the call to the second SIM card. Thus, while displaying the first user interface, the electronic device can receive a second message from the first number to the second SIM card and display a second prompt interface. The second prompt interface prompts the first number to initiate a second message to the second SIM card, and displays second information about the first number, which is the contact name corresponding to the first number on the second SIM card.

[0023] In other words, the first number can correspond to a first contact name on the first SIM card, and a second contact name can correspond to a second contact name on the second SIM card, and the first contact name can be different from the second contact name. This allows the same number to store different contact names on different SIM cards, achieving information isolation when SIM cards are used in isolation.

[0024] As an example of this application, the situations in which the second system is not enabled include the situation where the user triggers the destruction control of the second system, and the situation where the user triggers the exit space of the second system.

[0025] When a user triggers the destruction control of the second system, the electronic device receives a second operation on the destruction control. In response to this second operation (which can be the triggering operation of the destruction control in the following embodiments), the electronic device destroys the data of the second system. Thus, after the data of the second system is destroyed, it is in an inactive state.

[0026] The user triggers the exit control of the second system as follows: the electronic device receives a third operation on the exit control in the second user interface; in response to the third operation on the exit control (which may be the trigger operation on the exit control in the following embodiments), the second system exits, and the second system is in an inactive state after being exited by the exit control.

[0027] In this way, by using different methods to keep the second system in an inactive state, the number of ways to hide messages is increased.

[0028] As an example of this application, the way the electronic device displays call records differs before and after the first SIM card is bound to the second system.

[0029] When neither the first SIM card nor the second SIM card is bound to the second system, the electronic device receives a fourth operation from the first user interface and displays the first call record interface of the first system, which displays the call records of the first SIM card and the call records of the second SIM card.

[0030] When the first SIM card is bound to the second system and the second SIM card is used in the first system, when the first user interface is displayed, the electronic device receives a fourth operation on the first user interface (this fourth operation varies depending on the first user interface; for example, if the first user interface is a main space desktop, this fourth operation could be a trigger operation on the calling application in the main space desktop), displays the first call log interface, which displays the call log of the second SIM card, and does not display the call log of the first SIM card; or, when the second user interface is displayed, the electronic device receives a fifth operation on the second user interface (this fifth operation varies depending on the second user interface; for example, if the second user interface is a parallel space desktop, this fifth operation could be a trigger operation on the calling application in the parallel space desktop), displays the second call log interface, which displays the call log of the first SIM card, displays the first information of the first number, and does not display the call log of the second SIM card.

[0031] In this way, when SIM cards are used in isolation, the relevant information of the SIM cards is also isolated, thereby reducing the risk of information leakage and protecting user privacy.

[0032] As an example of this application, the first SIM card is bound to the second system. When the second SIM card is used in the first system, the electronic device can display the first call record interface and the second call record interface in split screen under the user's operation; or, the first SMS record interface and the second SMS record interface can be displayed in split screen.

[0033] The first SMS record interface displays SMS messages from the second SIM card, the second SMS record interface records SMS messages from the first SIM card, the first call record interface and the first SMS record interface are interfaces in the first system, and the second call record interface and the second SMS record interface are interfaces in the second system.

[0034] In this way, when SIM cards are used in isolation, the relevant information of the SIM cards is also isolated. Call records / SMS records from different systems are displayed in a split-screen manner, which makes it easier for users to view all call records or SMS records and improves the efficiency of information viewing.

[0035] As an example of this application, before the electronic device receives a message from the first number to the first SIM card, it can first bind the first SIM card to the second system. This operation includes: in response to a sixth operation in the first user interface (the sixth operation may be the same as or different from the first operation described above), starting the second system and displaying the second user interface; when the second user interface is displayed, in response to a seventh operation (i.e., the first user operation in the following embodiments), displaying a first application interface, which is used to configure the SIM card used in the second system; in response to an eighth operation in the first application interface (i.e., the add operation in the following embodiments), adding the first SIM card to the second system for use.

[0036] As an example of this application, when a user needs to switch the SIM card bound to the second system, the user can reselect the SIM card bound to the second system in the first application interface. Of course, the user can switch the SIM card bound to the second system in the first system. For example, in response to the ninth operation performed on the first user interface (i.e., the second user operation in the following embodiments), the electronic device displays the second application interface, which is used to manage the SIM cards in the electronic device. The number of the first SIM card is not displayed in the second application interface, and a second prompt message is displayed in the second application interface to indicate that the first SIM card has been bound to the second system. In response to the tenth operation in the second application interface (i.e., the second switching operation in the following embodiments), the first SIM card is switched to the first system for use, and the second SIM card is switched to the second system for use. The second application interface is then updated. The updated second application interface displays the number of the first SIM card and a third prompt message, but does not display the number of the second SIM card. The third prompt message indicates that the second SIM card has been bound to the second system. The second SIM card is any SIM card in the electronic device other than the first SIM card.

[0037] In this way, by selecting the SIM card bound to the second system in different ways, the richness of operation and interactivity with the user are improved.

[0038] As an example of this application, in response to an eighth operation in a first application interface, an electronic device can associate a first SIM card with a first data storage area to bind the first SIM card to a second system, wherein the first data storage area is the storage area corresponding to the second system.

[0039] In this way, by associating the first data storage area, the isolated use of the SIM card can be achieved.

[0040] As an example of this application, when the second user interface of the second system is displayed, an insertion / removal operation of the SIM card is received; when multiple SIM cards exist, and the first SIM card is included among the multiple SIM cards, the second user interface is updated, and a fourth prompt message is displayed in the updated second user interface. The fourth prompt message is used to indicate that the first SIM card is bound to the second system. The first SIM card is the SIM card that was bound to the second system before the insertion / removal operation of the SIM card occurred.

[0041] Thus, after a SIM card is inserted or removed from an electronic device, if there are multiple SIM cards, and one of them is previously bound to the second system, then that bound SIM card can continue to be used in the second system. This eliminates the need for the user to reconfigure the SIM card used in the second system, achieving not only isolated use of the SIM cards but also reducing operational complexity.

[0042] In a second aspect, an electronic device is provided, comprising a processor and a memory. The memory stores a program that supports the electronic device in executing the information display method provided in the first aspect, and stores data related to implementing the information display method described in the first aspect. The processor is configured to execute the program stored in the memory. The electronic device may further include a communication bus for establishing a connection between the processor and the memory.

[0043] Thirdly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, wherein instructions are stored therein, which, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to perform the information display method described in the first aspect.

[0044] Fourthly, a computer program product containing instructions is provided, which, when run on a computer, causes the computer to execute the information display method described in the first aspect above.

[0045] The technical effects achieved by the second, third, and fourth aspects mentioned above are similar to those achieved by the corresponding technical means in the first aspect mentioned above, and will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

[0089] The processor 110 may also include a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. This memory can store instructions or data that the processor 110 has just used or that are used repeatedly. If the processor 110 needs to use the instruction or data again, it can retrieve it directly from this memory. This avoids repeated accesses, reduces the waiting time of the processor 110, and thus improves the efficiency of the system.

[0090] It is understood that the interface connection relationships between the modules illustrated in the embodiments of this application are merely illustrative and do not constitute a structural limitation on the electronic device 100.

[0094] Electronic device 100 can perform shooting functions through ISP, camera 193, video codec, GPU, display 194 and application processor.

[0095] The external storage interface 120 can be used to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to expand the storage capacity of the electronic device 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 110 through the external storage interface 120 to perform data storage functions, such as saving music, video, and other files on the external memory card.

[0096] Internal memory 121 can be used to store computer-executable program code, which includes instructions. Processor 110 executes various functional applications and data processing of electronic device 100 by running the instructions stored in internal memory 121. Internal memory 121 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system, at least one application program required for a function (such as sound playback, image playback, etc.), etc. The data storage area may store data created by electronic device 100 during use (such as audio data, phonebook, etc.). Furthermore, internal memory 121 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, universal flash storage (UFS), etc.

[0097] Electronic device 100 can implement audio functions, such as music playback and recording, through audio module 170, speaker 170A, receiver 170B, microphone 170C, headphone jack 170D and application processor.

[0098] The audio module 170 is used to convert digital audio information into analog audio signals for output, and also to convert analog audio input into digital audio signals. The audio module 170 can also be used for encoding and decoding audio signals. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 may be located in the processor 110, or some functional modules of the audio module 170 may be located in the processor 110.

[0099] The speaker 170A, also known as a "loudspeaker," is used to convert audio electrical signals into sound signals. The electronic device 100 can listen to music or make hands-free calls through the speaker 170A.

[0100] The receiver 170B, also known as the "earpiece," is used to convert audio electrical signals into sound signals. When the electronic device 100 answers a telephone call or voice message, the receiver 170B can be brought close to the ear to listen to the voice.

[0101] Microphone 170C, also known as a "microphone" or "voice transducer," is used to convert sound signals into electrical signals. When making a phone call or sending a voice message, the user can speak by bringing their mouth close to microphone 170C, inputting the sound signal into microphone 170C. Electronic device 100 may have at least one microphone 170C. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may have two microphones 170C, which, in addition to collecting sound signals, can also perform noise reduction. In other embodiments, electronic device 100 may also have three, four, or more microphones 170C, which can collect sound signals, reduce noise, identify the sound source, and perform directional recording, etc.

[0102] Pressure sensor 180A is used to sense pressure signals and convert them into electrical signals. In some embodiments, pressure sensor 180A can be disposed on display screen 194. There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, and capacitive pressure sensors. A capacitive pressure sensor may include at least two parallel plates with conductive material. When force is applied to pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. Electronic device 100 determines the pressure intensity based on the change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to display screen 194, electronic device 100 detects the touch operation intensity based on pressure sensor 180A. Electronic device 100 can also calculate the touch position based on the detection signal from pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations applied to the same touch position but with different touch operation intensities can correspond to different operation commands. For example, when a touch operation with an intensity less than the pressure threshold is applied to the SMS application icon, a command to view an SMS message is executed. When a touch operation with an intensity greater than or equal to the pressure threshold is applied to the SMS application icon, a command to create a new SMS message is executed.

[0103] The fingerprint sensor 180H is used to collect fingerprints. The electronic device 100 can utilize the characteristics of the collected fingerprints to achieve fingerprint unlocking, accessing application locks, taking photos with fingerprints, answering calls with fingerprints, etc.

[0104] Touch sensor 180K, also known as a "touch panel," can be located on display screen 194. The touch sensor 180K and display screen 194 together form a touchscreen, also known as a "touch display." Touch sensor 180K detects touch operations applied to or near it. Touch sensor 180K can transmit the detected touch operation to the application processor to determine the type of touch event. Visual output related to the touch operation can be provided through display screen 194. In other embodiments, touch sensor 180K may also be located on the surface of electronic device 100, in a different position than display screen 194.

[0105] The bone conduction sensor 180M can acquire vibration signals. In some embodiments, the bone conduction sensor 180M can acquire vibration signals from the vibrating bone segments of the human vocal cords. The bone conduction sensor 180M can also contact the human pulse to receive blood pressure signals. In some embodiments, the bone conduction sensor 180M can also be incorporated into headphones to form bone conduction headphones. The audio module 170 can parse the voice signals from the vibrating bone segments of the vocal cords acquired by the bone conduction sensor 180M to realize voice functionality. The application processor can parse heart rate information from the blood pressure signals acquired by the bone conduction sensor 180M to realize heart rate detection functionality.

[0106] Buttons 190 include a power button, volume buttons, etc. Buttons 190 can be mechanical buttons or touch buttons. Electronic device 100 can receive button input and generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of electronic device 100.

[0107] Motor 191 can generate vibration alerts. Motor 191 can be used for incoming call vibration alerts or for touch vibration feedback. For example, different vibration feedback effects can be corresponding to touch operations applied to different applications (such as taking photos, playing audio, etc.). Touch operations applied to different areas of the display screen 194 can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Different application scenarios (such as time reminders, receiving messages, alarm clocks, games, etc.) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect can also be customized.

[0108] Indicator 192 can be an indicator light, used to indicate charging status, power changes, or to indicate messages, missed calls, notifications, etc.

[0109] The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect SIM cards. SIM cards can be inserted into or removed from the SIM card interface 195 to establish contact with and disconnect from the electronic device 100. In this solution, the SIM card interface supports at least two or more SIM cards, each corresponding to a slotId. The slotId indicates the location of the SIM card within the device, typically using 0 and 1 to represent two different slots. The SIM card interface 195 can support Nano SIM cards, Micro SIM cards, and other SIM cards. Multiple cards can be inserted into the same SIM card interface 195 simultaneously. The types of cards can be the same or different. The SIM card interface 195 is also compatible with different types of SIM cards. The SIM card interface 195 is also compatible with external memory cards. The electronic device 100 interacts with the network through the SIM card to achieve functions such as calls and data communication. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 uses an eSIM, i.e., an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded within the electronic device 100 and cannot be separated from it.

[0110] The software system of electronic device 100 will be described next.

[0111] The software system of electronic device 100 can adopt a layered architecture, event-driven architecture, microkernel architecture, microservice architecture, or cloud architecture. This application embodiment uses a layered Android system as an example to illustrate the software system of electronic device 100.

[0112] Figure 2 is a block diagram of a software system of an electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Referring to Figure 2, the layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with a clear role and division of labor. Layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into multiple layers, from top to bottom: the application layer, the application framework layer, the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), and the kernel layer.

[0113] The application layer can include application packages in the main space and application packages in the parallel spaces. As shown in Figure 2, the application packages in the main space can include a SIM card management module, a call interface module (InCall UI), a dialer / contacts / call log module, an SMS application, a third-party SMS application (the SMS application or the third-party SMS application can be the first SMS application described below), a third-party phone application, a phone application (the phone application or the third-party phone application can be the first call application described below), a security service module (SecurityServer), a satellite phone module, a call log service module (calllog Provider), a contact service module (Contacts Provider), a first settings application, etc.

[0114] The application package for Parallel Space may include a Parallel Space management module, a dialer / contacts / call log module, an SMS application, a third-party SMS application (the SMS application or the third-party SMS application can be the second SMS application described below), a third-party phone application, a phone application (the phone application or the third-party phone application can be the second call application described below), a call log service module (calllog Provider), a contact service module (Contacts Provider), a second settings application, and so on.

[0115] The application framework layer provides application programming interfaces (APIs) and a programming framework for applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions. As shown in Figure 2, the application framework layer may include telephony-related APIs, RCS APIs, etc.

[0116] The application framework layer may also include a telephony service module, an SMS storage service module, a telephony service module, an SMS enhanced messaging service module, etc.

[0117] The HAL layer may include RILD HAL service modules, etc., for providing telephone / SMS services.

[0118] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer contains at least the display driver, camera driver, audio driver, and sensor driver.

[0119] The hardware layer can include a modem.

[0120] In some embodiments, the software system of the electronic device 100 may further include a first data storage area and a second data storage area. The first data storage area is the storage area corresponding to the parallel space, and the second data storage area may be the storage area corresponding to the settings database, that is, the second data storage area may be the storage area of ​​the main space.

[0121] Next, the keywords involved in the embodiments of this application will be explained.

[0122] Main space:

[0123] The primary space, also known as the first system or main system, is the system that users use daily in electronic devices. In other words, electronic devices have a dual system.

[0124] Parallel universes:

[0125] Parallel Space is a separate system within the dual-system framework, often referred to as a second system, and can be used as a privacy system. Parallel Space can be a subsystem application installed within the main system's storage space; that is, the subsystem application resides in the main system's application layer and its operation depends on the main system's support. Therefore, Parallel Space is a privacy space within the main system, but the subsystem exists in the form of an application. This subsystem has its own independent storage space. Furthermore, the subsystem is not completely parallel to the main system; rather, it runs in the main system's application layer. This subsystem application possesses system functions; for example, when launched, it displays the subsystem application's main interface (parallel space desktop), which can display icons of multiple applications installed within the subsystem application (e.g., instant messaging, camera, and games). Of course, the subsystem also has its own independent storage space, which can store user data that is inaccessible under the main system but accessible only after entering the subsystem.

[0126] The term "parallel space" is used for illustrative purposes only. In practical applications, parallel space can also be referred to as parallel system, twin system application, twin security system, clone system, second system, security system, secondary space, privacy space, privacy system, etc. In the embodiments of this application, it is described as "parallel space". In addition, the electronic device of this application can be a mobile phone with a foldable screen (hereinafter referred to as electronic device) or a mobile phone without a foldable screen (hereinafter referred to as candybar phone), etc., without limitation.

[0127] The Parallel Space can store information such as contacts and call logs from the SIM card used in the Parallel Space. Additionally, applications can be installed and run in the Parallel Space; for example, calling apps, SMS apps, and camera apps can be installed there.

[0128] Parallel Space Startup / Enablement / Use:

[0129] If a user has already created a parallel space, they can activate it to experience its various functions. For example, if a parallel space has been created, the main space desktop can display an icon for the "Parallel Space" application, which the user can use to enter the parallel space. Alternatively, the user can also enter the parallel space through the settings application within the main space. Alternatively, the user can enter the parallel space via gestures on the displayed main space desktop. This embodiment of the application does not specifically limit the method of entering the parallel space.

[0130] It should be noted that after a parallel space is created, it is in an active state (or, in other words, in a usable state). In this embodiment, unless the user triggers a destruction control (which can be the "Destroy Parallel Space" button P1 shown in Figure 5(b) below) or an exit control on the parallel space desktop (which can be the exit button P2 shown in Figure 3(b) below), the parallel space will be in an active state even if it is not displayed in the foreground.

[0131] Parallel Space Not Started / Not Enabled / Used:

[0132] If the user triggers the destroy control or the exit control on the Parallel Space desktop, the state of Parallel Space can be switched to the inactive state (or in other words, Parallel Space is in an unused state).

[0133] Message hiding function: The message hiding function includes message hiding function and call hiding function.

[0134] This application does not specifically limit the structure of the execution subject of an information display method. As long as the code recording an information display method according to this application is run, the information display method provided by this application can be executed. For example, the execution subject of an information display method provided by this application can be a functional module in an electronic device capable of calling and executing programs, or a communication device applied in an electronic device, such as a chip.

[0135] Next, taking an electronic device that opens a parallel space, specifically a mobile phone, as an example, we will explain the application scenarios provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0136] Parallel space interface display scene

[0137] Please refer to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by an embodiment of this application. In one possible application scenario, when a user is using an electronic device, if the electronic device opens the Parallel Space, the screen of the electronic device can display the interface of the Parallel Space in a split-screen or floating window format. Referring to Figure 3(a), the screen of the electronic device displays the main space desktop 300. When the user needs to open or enter the Parallel Space, the user can click the "Parallel Space" icon in the main space desktop 300. Alternatively, the user can perform a two-finger outward expansion operation on the main space desktop 300. In response to the user's click on the "Parallel Space" icon, if the user has not enabled the verification function such as password, fingerprint, and face recognition to enter the Parallel Space, the electronic device can enter the Parallel Space and display the main space desktop 300 and the Parallel Space desktop 301 in a split-screen format. Referring to Figure 3(b), the screen of the electronic device displays the main space desktop 300 and the Parallel Space desktop 301 in a left-right split-screen format for user convenience.

[0138] It should be noted that any application from the main space can be installed in the parallel space, and the use of applications in the parallel space does not affect the use of applications in the main space. For example, the main space may include the first call application, the first SMS application, the first settings application, etc., and the parallel space can also install the second call application, the second SMS application, the second settings application, etc.

[0139] It should be understood that Figure 3 is only an example of directly displaying the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301 in split screen after the electronic device enters the parallel space. In other embodiments, after the electronic device enters the parallel space, it can also first display the parallel space desktop 301 in full screen, and then display the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301 in split screen based on the user's split screen operation.

[0140] It should also be understood that Figure 3 is only an example of displaying the main desktop 300 on the left half of the screen and the parallel desktop 301 on the right half of the screen when the main desktop 300 and the parallel desktop 301 are displayed in a split-screen manner. In other embodiments, the parallel desktop 301 can also be displayed on the left half of the screen and the main desktop 300 on the right half of the screen, or the screen can be split vertically, etc. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0141] In addition, to enhance the security level of data within the parallel space, user identity verification can be performed upon entry. Therefore, a password or biometric feature, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, can be set for entry. The parallel space password can be different from or the same as the main space password; the parallel space biometric feature can be the same as or different from the main space biometric feature, depending on the application requirements. With the verification function enabled, in response to the user clicking the "Parallel Space" icon, the electronic device can first perform verification, and upon successful verification, enter the split-screen display of the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301 as shown in Figure 3(b). During the verification process, the electronic device can display the verification interface shown in Figure 3(c), or it can choose not to display it (e.g., the verification interface can be omitted for facial verification).

[0142] In another application scenario, referring to Figure 4(a), the electronic device displays a parallel desktop 301 and a main desktop 300 in a split-screen format. The user can operate within the main desktop 300 or the parallel desktop 301. Furthermore, the user can operate simultaneously on both the main desktop 300 and the parallel desktop 301. For example, the user can click the application icon of the first settings application (shown as "not set 1" in the figure) on the main desktop 300. In response to this click, as shown in Figure 4(b), the electronic device can switch the main desktop 300 to the first settings application interface 302. If the user needs to exit the first settings application interface 302, they can perform an exit operation within the first settings application interface 302, such as swiping right from the left sidebar of the first settings application interface 302. In response to this exit operation, as shown in Figure 4(c), the electronic device can exit the first settings application interface 302 and display the main desktop 300.

[0143] In another application scenario, when the application interfaces of the parallel space desktop 301 and the main space application are displayed in a split-screen manner, the user can return to the previous interface in the main space by swiping sideways as described above, or directly return to the main space desktop 300 by other means. For example, if the user swipes upwards from the bottom of any split-screen interface, the electronic device responds to this upward swipe operation by switching the first settings application interface 302 to display the main space desktop 300 as shown in Figure 4(c).

[0144] In another application scenario, referring to Figure 5(a), the electronic device displays a split-screen parallel desktop 301 and a main desktop 300. The user can click the application icon of the second settings application on the parallel desktop 301. In response to this click, as shown in Figure 5(b), the electronic device can switch the parallel desktop 301 to the second settings application interface 303. If the user needs to exit the second settings application interface 303, they can perform an exit operation within the interface, such as swiping left from the right sidebar of the second settings application interface 303. In response to this exit operation, as shown in Figure 5(c), the electronic device can exit the second settings application interface 303 and display the parallel desktop 301.

[0145] In another application scenario, when the main desktop 300 and the application interfaces in the parallel space are displayed in a split-screen manner, the user can return to the previous screen from the interface in the parallel space by swiping to the side, or return directly to the parallel desktop 301 in other ways. For example, if the user swipes upwards from the bottom of any split-screen interface, the electronic device responds to this upward swipe by switching the second settings application interface 303 to display the parallel desktop 301 as shown in Figure 5(c).

[0146] In another application scenario, when the application interfaces of the main space and the application interfaces of the parallel space are displayed in a split-screen manner, for example, when the first settings application interface 302 and the second settings application interface 303 are displayed in a split-screen manner, the user can also perform an upward swipe operation from the bottom of the interface in either split-screen interface. The electronic device responds to the upward swipe operation and returns to the interface of the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301 displayed in the split-screen manner.

[0147] In another application scenario, when the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301 are displayed in split screen as shown in Figure 3(b), the user can swipe up from the bottom of the screen in either split screen. In response to the swipe up, the electronic device cancels the split screen display and displays the main space desktop 300 as shown in Figure 3(a).

[0148] Scenario of adding a SIM card to a parallel space

[0149] When an electronic device has multiple SIM cards installed, in existing technologies, the call logs and SMS messages of each SIM card are displayed on the same screen, and the information from multiple SIM cards is mixed together, making it impossible for users to view the information of a single SIM card individually. Furthermore, as shown in the attached diagram, a second calling application, a second SMS application, etc., can also be installed in the parallel space, meaning users can perform calls, send and receive messages, and other operations within the parallel space. Users can also add another SIM card from the electronic device to the parallel space. When a SIM card is added to the parallel space, its contacts and call logs will also be displayed there, thus achieving SIM card isolation and meeting users' needs for using different SIM cards.

[0150] In one application scenario, taking an electronic device that allows the insertion of two SIM cards as an example, some application scenarios for adding SIM cards to the parallel space are explained. Referring to Figure 6(a), the electronic device displays the parallel space desktop 301. The user can click the application icon of the second settings application. In response to the click operation of the application icon of the second settings application, referring to Figure 6(b), the electronic device displays the second settings application interface 303. The user can click the "Phone and Messages" option 31 in the second settings application interface 303. In response to the click operation of the "Phone and Messages" option 31, referring to Figure 6(c), the electronic device displays the phone and message settings interface 304. The user can select to add one of the SIM cards to the parallel space, such as by clicking the selection control 32 for the first SIM card (shown as SIM1 in the figure). In response to a click on the first SIM card selection control 32, as shown in Figure 6(d), the electronic device highlights the first SIM card selection control 32 as selected in the phone and messaging settings interface 304, grays out the unselected selection control 33, and displays a first pop-up window 34. This first pop-up window 34 can display a first message and a confirmation option 341 (displayed as "OK" in the accompanying drawings of this application). The first message can indicate to the user that the selected SIM card has been chosen for use in the parallel space, and can be something like "The first SIM card has been selected for use in the 'parallel space,' and the main space will not be able to use this card to make calls or send text messages." The user can click the confirmation option 341. In response to the click on the confirmation option 341, as shown in Figure 6(e), the first pop-up window 34 is closed, and relevant information about the first SIM card, such as contacts, call logs, and text message records, can be added to the database associated with the parallel space. The user can then click the return control 35. In response to a click on the return control 35, as shown in Figure 6(f), the electronic device updates the second settings application interface 303 and displays "First SIM Card" in the "Phone and SMS" option 31 (SIM1 is shown as an example in the figure) to indicate that the first SIM card has been added to the parallel space.

[0151] In another application scenario, the electronic device displays a second settings application interface 303 as shown in Figure 6(b) above. The user can click the "Phone and Messages" option 31 in the second settings application interface 303. Depending on the SIM card insertion status and the usage mode of the electronic device, the display of the phone and message settings interface 304 displayed by the electronic device will also differ in response to the click operation of the "Phone and Messages" option 31. For example, one SIM card is inserted into the electronic device. This situation could mean that two SIM cards were originally inserted into the electronic device, but the user removed one of the SIM cards, or that there were no SIM cards originally in the electronic device, but the user inserted one SIM card. In this case, in response to a click on the "Phone and Messages" option 31, as shown in Figure 7(a), the electronic device displays the Phone and Messages settings interface 304. The display status of each SIM card option in this interface 304 differs from the display status when two SIM cards are inserted into the electronic device; for example, all SIM card options are grayed out. The electronic device cannot respond to the user's operation on the grayed-out options, meaning the user cannot set the SIM cards for use in the parallel space. If no SIM cards are inserted into the electronic device—for example, if the electronic device is newly purchased and the user has not yet inserted SIM cards, or if the electronic device originally had one or two SIM cards inserted but the user removed all SIM cards—then, as shown in Figure 7(b), the display status of each SIM card option in the Phone and Messages settings interface 304 displayed by the electronic device differs from the display status when two SIM cards are inserted into the electronic device; for example, all SIM card options are grayed out. If the electronic device is in airplane mode, then refer to Figure 7(c). Regardless of how many SIM cards are inserted into the electronic device, the display status of each SIM card option in the phone and messaging settings interface 304 is different from that when two SIM cards are inserted into the electronic device. For example, each SIM card option is grayed out.

[0152] The following section will introduce the further settings after adding a SIM card to the parallel space.

[0153] After adding the first SIM card to the parallel space, the user can also configure the call and SMS notifications for the first SIM card. In another application scenario, referring to Figure 8(a), the electronic device displays a phone and message settings interface 304, which includes a switch control 36 for the call hiding function and a switch control 37 for the message hiding function. When the call hiding function is off, the user can click the switch control 36 for the call hiding option; in response to the user's click on the switch control 36, referring to Figure 8(b), the call hiding function is enabled, and the display state of the switch control 36 is changed; if the message hiding function is off, the user can continue to click the switch control 37 for the message hiding function. In response to the user's click on the switch control 37 for the message hiding function, referring to Figure 8(c), the electronic device enables the message hiding function, and the display state of the switch control 37 is changed. The implementation of scenarios after the call hiding function and message hiding function are enabled will be described in the following embodiments.

[0154] After adding the first SIM card to the parallel space, the user can not only select to change the SIM card added to the parallel space, but also switch the SIM card added to the parallel space in the main space. For example, the user can trigger the application icon of the first settings application (shown as not set 1 in the figure) on the desktop 300 of the main space of the electronic device. Thus, referring to Figure 9(a), the electronic device can display the first settings application interface 302 in the main space. The user can click the mobile network option 91 in the first settings application interface 302. In response to the click operation of the mobile network option 91, as shown in Figure 9(b), the electronic device displays the mobile network settings interface 305. The user can then click the SIM card management option 92 in the mobile network settings interface 305. In response to the click operation of the SIM card management option 92, as shown in Figure 9(c), the electronic device displays the SIM card management interface 306. This SIM card management interface 306 displays the information of the SIM cards inserted into the electronic device, such as the first SIM card and the second SIM card. The first SIM card has been added to the parallel space. Since the card number of the first SIM card will not be displayed in the SIM card management interface 306 after the first SIM card is bound to the parallel space, the user's privacy is protected. When the SIM card management interface 306 is displayed, the user can click the first SIM card information option 93. In response to the click operation of the first SIM card information option 93, as shown in Figure 9(d), the electronic device activates the parallel space and displays the phone and message settings interface 304 in the parallel space. The user can click the second SIM card selection control 38 in the phone and messaging settings interface 304. In response to this click (see Figure 9(e)), the electronic device adds the relevant information of the second SIM card to the parallel space, switches the first SIM card to the main space, highlights the second SIM card selection control 38, and dehighlights the first SIM card selection control 32. The user can click the return control 35. In response to this click (see Figure 9(f)), the electronic device returns to the main space and displays the SIM card management interface 306. In this interface 306, the first SIM card's status in the main space is highlighted, and the second SIM card's options bar displays information about its use in the parallel space.

[0155] In another application scenario, to protect information within the parallel space, identity authentication is required before opening the parallel space. Only after successful authentication can access the parallel space. Referring to Figure 10(a), the electronic device displays the SIM card management interface 306, and the first SIM card has been added to the parallel space. The user can click the first SIM card information option 93. In response to the click on the first SIM card information option 93, as shown in Figure 10(b), the electronic device performs facial recognition verification and displays the identity verification interface 307 during the verification process to indicate to the user that the electronic device is performing facial recognition or fingerprint verification. Of course, if the user has set up password verification, in the identity verification interface shown in Figure 10(b), the user can also enter a password by clicking the "Use Password" option for password verification by the electronic device. After the electronic device verifies the user's identity, the electronic device enters the parallel space and displays the phone and information settings interface 304 of the parallel space, as shown in Figure 10(c).

[0156] In another application scenario, users can directly configure the SIM card's usage space in the main space. For example, referring to Figure 11(a), the electronic device displays a SIM card management interface 306, which can display a first SIM card information option 93 and a second SIM card information option 94. In response to a long press on the first SIM card information option 93, referring to Figure 11(b), the electronic device can display a pop-up window 1100, which displays the options "Use in the main space" and "Use in the parallel space." The user can click the "Use in the parallel space" option. In response to clicking the "Use in the parallel space" option, referring to Figure 11(c), the electronic device adds the first SIM card to the parallel space, cancels the display of pop-up window 1100, and updates the SIM card management interface 306, hiding the number of the first SIM card in the interface.

[0157] In another application scenario, after adding the first SIM card to the parallel space, if the user needs to switch the SIM card added to the parallel space, then referring to Figure 12(a), when the electronic device displays the SIM card management interface 306, the user can long-press the second SIM card information option. In response to the long-press operation of the second SIM card information option, referring to Figure 12(b), the electronic device can display a pop-up window 1100, which displays the "Use in the main space" option and the "Use in the parallel space" option. The user can click the "Use in the parallel space" option. In response to the click operation of the "Use in the parallel space" option, referring to Figure 12(c), the electronic device displays second information 1101, which is used to prompt whether to switch the first SIM card to the second SIM card, such as displaying "Switch the SIM card used in the parallel space to card 2?". The user can click the "Confirm" option. In response to the click operation of the "Confirm" option, see Figure 12(d). The electronic device switches the SIM card used in the parallel space from the first SIM card to the second SIM card, cancels the display of the second information 1101, and updates the SIM card management interface 306, in which the number of the second SIM card is hidden.

[0158] After a user adds the first SIM card to the parallel space, the electronic device can add the relevant information of the first SIM card to the parallel space. Once added, this information can no longer be viewed in the main space. For example, the interface changes related to call logs can be seen in Figure 13. When both the first and second SIM cards are used in the main space, the first call log interface 308 in the main space is shown in Figure 13(a). This interface includes call logs for both the first and second SIM cards, and the first dial pad 131 displays the dialing controls 132 and 133 corresponding to both SIM cards. When the first SIM card is added to the parallel space and the second SIM card is used in the main space, as shown in Figure 13(b), the first call log interface 308 displays the call logs for the second SIM card, but no longer displays the call logs for the first SIM card. The first dial pad 131 displays the dialing control 133 corresponding to the second SIM card, but no longer displays the dialing control 132 corresponding to the first SIM card. Referring to Figure 13(c), the call history of the first SIM card is displayed in the second call record interface 309 of the second call application in the parallel space, and the dial control 132 corresponding to the first SIM card is displayed in the second dial pad 134, excluding the dial control 133 corresponding to the second SIM card.

[0159] It should be noted that if the same number is stored in both the first and second SIM cards, and the contact names set for that same number are different on the first and second SIM cards, then both the first call log interface 308 and the second call log interface 309 can display the call records with that number. For example, if a second number is stored in both the first and second SIM cards, and the contact name for the second number on the first SIM card is "User 1" and the contact name for the second number on the second SIM card is "User 2," then when the first call log interface 308 as shown in Figure 13(b) is displayed, it can include the call records between the second SIM card and the second number, i.e., the call records with User 2. When the second call log interface 309 as shown in Figure 13(c) is displayed, it can include the call records between the first SIM card and the second number, i.e., the call records with User 1. Thus, by setting different contact names for the same number on different SIM cards, user privacy is further protected.

[0160] After adding the first SIM card to the parallel space, the user can access functions related to the first SIM card within the parallel space. For example, referring to Figure 14(a), the electronic device displays a second call log interface 309 in the parallel space. The user can use the first SIM card to make calls, manage call logs, and view contacts in the call log interface. If the user clicks the edit control 141 in the second call log interface, in response to the click operation (see Figure 14(b), the electronic device displays an edit pop-up window 142, which includes paste and batch delete options. The user can edit the call logs in the edit pop-up window as needed.

[0161] In another application scenario, after the first SIM card is added to the parallel space, the interface changes related to SMS records can be seen in Figures 15, 16, and 17. When both the first and second SIM cards are used in the main space, as shown in Figure 15(a), the first SMS record interface 310 in the main space includes the SMS records of both the first and second SIM cards. When the second SIM card is used in the main space after the first SIM card is added to the parallel space, the first SMS record interface 310 in the main space can be as shown in Figure 15(b), displaying the SMS records of the second SIM card but no longer showing the SMS records of the first SIM card. The second SMS record interface 311 of the second SMS application in the parallel space can be as shown in Figure 15(c), displaying the SMS records of the first SIM card but not including the SMS records of the second SIM card. When the same number sends text messages to both the first SIM card and the second SIM card, for example, referring to Figures (b) and (c) in Figure 15, if user 4 sends text messages to both the first SIM card and the second SIM card, then both the first text message record interface 310 and the second text message record interface 311 can include the text messages sent by user 4.

[0162] In another application scenario, if a user needs to send a text message, they can create a new message. In response to this new message creation operation, when both the first and second SIM cards are used in the main space, the electronic device can display a first new message interface 1600 as shown in Figure 16(a). This first new message interface 1600 can include SIM card selection identifiers 161 for the first and second SIM cards. The user can click on the SIM card selection identifier 161 to select either the first or second SIM card to send the text message. In response to the user's click on the SIM card selection identifier 161, as shown in Figure 16(b), the electronic device displays a SIM card selection pop-up window 162, which includes first SIM card identifiers 163 and second SIM card identifiers 164. When the first SIM card is added to the parallel space and the second SIM card is used in the main space, the first new message interface 1600 in the main space can be as shown in Figure 16(c). In this first new message interface 1600, the SIM card selection identifier 161 is no longer displayed, and the electronic device defaults to sending text messages via the second SIM card. The second newly created information interface 1601 displayed by the electronic device in the parallel space can be shown in Figure 16(d). The SIM card selection identifier 161 is no longer displayed in the second newly created information interface 1601, and the electronic device sends SMS messages through the first SIM card in the parallel space by default.

[0163] In another application scenario, the same number may send messages to both the first SIM card and the second SIM card. If both the first and second SIM cards are used in the main space, the electronic device can display a first information display interface 1700 for the first number (“User 4” is the contact name corresponding to the first number), as shown in Figure 17(a). This first information display interface 1700 displays the first information between the first number and the first SIM card, and the second information between the first number and the second SIM card. The first information's information box displays the first SIM card icon 171, and the second information's information box displays the second SIM card icon 172. The first number is the number that sent the SMS to both the first and second SIM cards. When the first SIM card is added to the parallel space and the second SIM card is used in the main space, the first information display interface 1700 for the first number in the main space can be as shown in Figure 17(b). This first information display interface 1700 displays the second information between the first number and the second SIM card, and no longer displays the first information between the first number and the first SIM card. The second information display interface 1701 of the first number displayed by the electronic device in parallel space can be shown in Figure 17(c). The second information display interface 1701 displays the first information between the first number and the first SIM card, but does not include the first information between the first number and the second SIM card.

[0164] Next, we will introduce how to configure the SIM card for use in parallel space.

[0165] This application illustrates the method using the insertion of two SIM cards (a first SIM card and a second SIM card) into an electronic device as an example. As an example and not a limitation, this method is described here as being applied to an electronic device with a parallel space, and the method may include some or all of the following:

[0166] Step A01: In response to the startup trigger operation of Parallel Space, start Parallel Space and display the Parallel Space desktop.

[0167] It should be noted that the startup trigger operation for the parallel space in this embodiment may include clicking the application icon of the parallel space application, as well as a two-finger outward gesture on the main space desktop. Of course, it may also be other operations, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0168] For example, the main desktop of the electronic device may display an application icon for the Parallel Space application. In this way, the user can click the Parallel Space application icon, and the electronic device, in response to the click, can launch Parallel Space and display the Parallel Space desktop. Alternatively, the application icon for Parallel Space may not be displayed on the main desktop. To facilitate launching Parallel Space, the user can launch the application from the first settings application, or perform a two-finger outward gesture on the main desktop. The electronic device, in response to this gesture, will launch Parallel Space and display the Parallel Space desktop.

[0169] In some embodiments, if the electronic device is a foldable phone, then in response to the user's activation of the parallel space, the electronic device activates the parallel space and directly displays the main space desktop and the parallel space desktop in a split-screen mode. Alternatively, the parallel space desktop can be displayed in full screen.

[0170] In some embodiments, in response to the launch trigger operation of the parallel space, the electronic device can also verify the user's identity; after the user's identity is verified, the parallel space is launched and the parallel space desktop is displayed.

[0171] It should be noted that user authentication methods may include facial recognition, fingerprint verification, and / or password verification.

[0172] Step A02: When the parallel space desktop is displayed, the first application interface is displayed in response to the first user's operation.

[0173] It should be noted that the first application interface is for indicating how to add a SIM card to the parallel space for use. Users can select the SIM card to add to the parallel space for use in the first application interface.

[0174] As an example, in the case of an electronic device that includes multiple SIM cards, the first application interface may include a selection control for each of the multiple SIM cards. The selection control for each SIM card is used to select the SIM card, and the selected SIM card will be added to the parallel space for use.

[0175] For example, when two SIM cards are inserted into the electronic device, the first application interface can be the phone and messaging settings interface 304 described in Figure 6(c) above. The first user operation can include a first gesture operation performed on the parallel space desktop, or it can include a series of second gesture operations, and the series of second gesture operations includes multiple operations that occur during the process of displaying the parallel space desktop to displaying the first application interface.

[0176] As an example, if the first user operation is a first gesture operation performed on a parallel space desktop, the electronic device can directly display the first application interface in response to the first gesture operation.

[0177] It should be noted that the first gesture operation can be a long press on the parallel space desktop, a two-finger pinch operation on the parallel space desktop, or a click operation on the SIM card management application on the parallel space desktop. This SIM card management application is used to manage the SIM cards used in the parallel space.

[0178] As an example, if the first user operation includes a series of second gesture operations, and the second gesture operations include clicking the application icon of the second settings application and clicking the "Phone and Messages" option in the second settings application interface, the electronic device displays the second settings application interface in response to clicking the application icon of the second settings application in the parallel space desktop, and displays the first application interface in response to the user clicking the "Phone and Messages" option.

[0179] In some embodiments, in response to a first user operation, the electronic device can also determine its current mode and SIM card status. If the electronic device reads information from at least two SIM cards and is not in airplane mode, the electronic device displays a first application interface where controls related to the SIM cards are responsive. If the electronic device reads information from one SIM card, or if the electronic device does not read information from any SIM cards, or if the electronic device is in airplane mode, the electronic device displays the first application interface where controls related to the SIM cards are unresponsive.

[0180] Step A03: In response to the addition operation of the first SIM card, the electronic device adds the first SIM card to the parallel space for use.

[0181] It should be noted that adding the first SIM card to the parallel space means that the electronic device can make calls and send text messages using the first SIM card in the parallel space, but cannot make calls and send text messages using the first SIM card in the main space.

[0182] As an example, adding a first SIM card to the parallel space involves associating the first SIM card with a first data storage area. This first data storage area can be independent of a second data storage area, which stores data related to the electronic device. The second data storage area can be the storage area corresponding to the settings database.

[0183] It should be noted that the operation of associating the first SIM card with the first data storage area may include adding the integrated circuit card identity (ICCID) of the first SIM card to the first data storage area.

[0184] In another possible implementation, the first data storage area can be a storage area corresponding to some fields in the settings database. For example, the fields corresponding to the first data storage area may include a first preset field, which is used to store the ICCID of the SIM card bound to the parallel space. This first preset field can be sim_iccid_parallel_space. In this way, the electronic device can store the ICCID of the first SIM card through the first preset field to associate the first SIM card with the parallel space.

[0185] In some embodiments, the fields corresponding to the first data storage area may include not only the first preset field, but also fields that store other information. In this way, the electronic device can also directly add the SIM card information of the first SIM card to the first data storage area.

[0186] In some embodiments, the settings database may include a second preset field for storing the ICCID of the SIM card used in the main space, such as sim_iccid_main_space.

[0187] As an example, an electronic device can add the first SIM card to the parallel space in the manner described above, by adding the ICCID of the first SIM card to the first preset field. Alternatively, it can add the first SIM card to the parallel space in other ways. For instance, the variable value of the third preset field can be modified to the first card slot identifier, which indicates the first card slot in the electronic device. When the variable value of the third preset field is the first card slot identifier, it means that the SIM card in the first card slot has been bound to the parallel space, and the SIM card information of the SIM card in the first card slot is associated with the first data storage area, indicating that a first SIM card is inserted into the first card slot.

[0188] It should be noted that this third preset field is used to indicate the SIM card bound to the parallel space, and this third preset field can be parallel_sim_isolation.

[0189] In some embodiments, if the variable value corresponding to the third preset field is the second card slot identifier, it indicates that the SIM card in the second card slot has been bound to the parallel space; if the SIM card in the second card slot is the second SIM card, it indicates that the second SIM card has been bound to the parallel space. If the variable value corresponding to the third preset field is not set, it indicates that there is no bound SIM card in the parallel space.

[0190] It should be noted that the second card slot identifier, the first card slot identifier, and the no identifier are all different. For example, the first card slot identifier can be 1, the second card slot identifier can be 0, and the no identifier can be -1. This application embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0191] As an example, in response to adding a first SIM card, the electronic device can migrate the first SIM card's call logs, contact information, message history, and other related information to a parallel space. In other words, the main space no longer stores the first SIM card's related information. Alternatively, in response to adding a first SIM card, the electronic device can migrate the first SIM card's call logs, contact information, message history, and other related information to a parallel space or set this related information to be invisible in the main space. In the latter case, the first SIM card's call logs, contact information, message history, and other related information will not be displayed in the main space interface, but rather in the parallel space interface.

[0192] In some embodiments, step A03 is an operation performed based on the presence of multiple SIM cards in the electronic device. If only one SIM card is present in the electronic device, or if the electronic device is in airplane mode, then the electronic device does not respond to the addition operation of the first SIM card.

[0193] The implementation method of switching SIM cards used in parallel spaces:

[0194] After adding the first SIM card to the parallel space, the user may switch the SIM card added to the parallel space. In this case, the user can reselect the SIM card added to the parallel space, and the electronic device can then perform the operations described in steps A01-A03 as instructed by the user. Of course, the user can also switch the SIM card added to the parallel space in the main space; please refer to steps B01-B03 below.

[0195] Step B01: In response to the second user operation performed in the main space, display the second application interface.

[0196] It should be noted that the second application interface can be an interface related to SIM card settings within the main space. For example, the second application interface can be the SIM card management interface 306 shown in Figure (c) of Figure 10 above.

[0197] It should also be noted that this second user operation is performed in the main space to cause the electronic device to display the second application interface. The second user operation varies depending on the main space interface displayed by the electronic device. For example, when the electronic device displays the main space desktop, the second user operation can be a third gesture operation (such as a two-finger outward gesture). In this case, the electronic device responds to the second user operation and can directly display the second application interface. Alternatively, the second user operation can be a series of fourth gesture operations. For example, when the electronic device displays the main space desktop, the second user operation can include clicking on the first settings application, clicking on the mobile network option in the first settings interface of the first settings application, and clicking on the SIM card management option in the mobile network interface.

[0198] Since the first SIM card is already in use in the parallel space, the second application interface can display a message indicating that the first SIM card is already in use in the parallel space, so that users can easily understand which SIM card is being used in the parallel space.

[0199] Step B02: In response to the first switching operation performed in the second application interface, display the first application interface in the parallel space.

[0200] It should be noted that this first switching operation can be a click on the option containing the information of the SIM card already bound to the parallel space. In this way, the electronic device, responding to the first switching operation in the second application interface, can display the first application interface in the parallel space.

[0201] Step B03: In response to the addition of the second SIM card, the electronic device switches the first SIM card to the primary space for use and adds the second SIM card to the secondary space for use.

[0202] Since the first SIM card is bound to the parallel space, and normally, the parallel space can only bind one SIM card and not multiple SIM cards, the electronic device can switch the first SIM card to the main space and add the second SIM card to the parallel space in response to the addition of the second SIM card.

[0203] As an example, when the first SIM card is switched to the primary space and the second SIM card is added to the secondary space, the electronic device migrates the call logs, contact information, message records, and other related information of the first SIM card from the secondary space to the primary space. Similarly, it migrates the call logs, contact information, message records, and other related information of the second SIM card from the primary space to the secondary space.

[0204] It should be noted that the electronic device can not only trigger the switching of the SIM card used in the parallel space in the main space according to steps B01-B03, but also directly switch the SIM card used in the parallel space in the main space. For example, please refer to the operations of steps C01-C02 below.

[0205] Step C01: In response to a second user action performed in the main space, display the second application interface.

[0206] It should be noted that the operation of step C01 can refer to the operation of step B01 above, and this application embodiment will not repeat the details.

[0207] Step C02: In response to the second switching operation in the second application interface, switch the first SIM card to the primary space for use and switch the second SIM card to the secondary space for use.

[0208] As an example, the second switching operation can be the fourth operation described above. If a switching control exists in the second application interface, the second switching operation can refer to a click operation on the switching control, which instructs the user to switch between multiple SIM cards added to the parallel space. For example, if the multiple SIM cards include a first SIM card and a second SIM card, the switching control instructs the user to switch between the first SIM card and the second SIM card added to the parallel space. Thus, when the first SIM card is used in the parallel space, the electronic device, in response to the second switching operation in the second application interface, can switch the first SIM card to the primary space and switch the second SIM card to the parallel space.

[0209] As an example, the second switching operation may also include multiple user operations. Thus, the electronic device, in response to the second switching operation in the second application interface, switches the first SIM card to the primary space and the second SIM card to the secondary space. This includes: in response to a long press on the option containing the second SIM card information in the second application interface, displaying a first usage space selection interface, which includes a secondary space option and a primary space option; in response to a click on the secondary space option in the first usage space selection interface, if the first SIM card is already bound to the secondary space (i.e., the first SIM card is already in use in the secondary space), switching the first SIM card to the primary space and adding the second SIM card to the secondary space. If no SIM card is bound to the secondary space, adding the second SIM card to the secondary space.

[0210] In some embodiments, users can unbind the first SIM card from the parallel space not only in the parallel space but also in the main space. For example, in response to a long press on the option containing the first SIM card information in the second application interface, the electronic device displays a second usage space selection interface, which includes a parallel space option and a main space option; in response to a click on the main space option in the second usage space selection interface, the first SIM card is switched from the parallel space to the main space for use.

[0211] SIM card information hiding scenarios

[0212] In certain situations, users may not want incoming calls from specific contacts or calls involving personal privacy to be displayed on the interface, but they cannot hide them, causing inconvenience for privacy protection and potentially leading to information leaks. Therefore, after adding the first SIM card to the Parallel Space, users can enable or disable the call hiding function and message hiding function of the first SIM card within the Parallel Space. Depending on whether the call hiding function and message hiding function are enabled or disabled, and the usage of the Parallel Space (Parallel Space enabled or disabled), the way the electronic device responds to incoming calls and SMS messages will also differ.

[0213] Scenario 1: Both call hiding and message hiding functions are enabled, and the parallel space is not enabled (or rather, the parallel space is in an unused state).

[0214] In one application scenario, with the first SIM card bound to Parallel Space, both call hiding and message hiding functions are enabled, and Parallel Space is not enabled (or in other words, Parallel Space is in an unused state). At this time, the electronic device displays any interface in the main space, such as the first call log interface 308 shown in Figure 18(a), the main space lock screen interface 1800 shown in Figure 18(b), or the main space desktop 300 shown in Figure 18(c). When the first number calls the first SIM card or sends a text message to the first SIM card, the electronic device will not provide any notification in the main space. For example, if the first number initiates a call to the first SIM card, the electronic device will not notify the user of an incoming call when displaying the main space interface; if both the first and second numbers send text messages to the first SIM card, i.e., the electronic device receives two text messages to the first SIM card, the electronic device will not notify the user of any text messages when displaying the main space interface. If the user wants to view call and / or text message notifications, Parallel Space needs to be enabled.

[0215] In response to the opening of the parallel space, referring to Figure 18(d), the electronic device can display a parallel space desktop 301. The application icon of the second calling application in the parallel space desktop 301 displays a missed call indicator 181. In the accompanying drawings of this embodiment, the missed call indicator is represented by the number 1, and the number 1 indicates that there was one missed call during the period when the parallel space was not open. This missed call is a call initiated by the first number to the first SIM card. The application icon of the second SMS application displays an unread SMS indicator 182. In the accompanying drawings of this embodiment, this unread SMS indicator is represented by the number 2, and the number 2 indicates that there were two unread SMS messages during the period when the parallel space was not open. These two unread SMS messages are the SMS messages sent by the first number and the second number to the first SIM card, respectively.

[0216] It should be noted that when the first number initiates a call to the first SIM card, since the main device cannot provide call notifications, the electronic device can directly generate a missed call record for this call and add it to the second call log interface. The missed call record for this call will not be displayed in the first call log interface. Furthermore, the second call log interface can display the contact name, call time, call duration, etc., and highlight the missed call record in the second call log interface to indicate that the call was missed.

[0217] It should also be noted that when a text message is sent from the first number to the first SIM card, since call notifications cannot be displayed in the main message log, the electronic device can directly generate an unread message record for that message and add it to the second message log interface. The first message log interface will not display this unread message record. Similarly, when a text message is sent from the second number to the first SIM card, the electronic device can also generate an unread message record for that message and add it to the second message log interface. The first message log interface will not display this unread message record. This unread message record contains information such as the time the message was sent and the name of the sender.

[0218] Optionally, in one implementation, when the caller initiates a call to the card of the first SIM with the first number, both the call hiding function and the information hiding function are enabled, and the parallel space is not enabled. The electronic device will not only notify the user of the incoming call when displaying the main space, but will also automatically hang up the call after receiving it.

[0219] In another application scenario, as shown in Figure 19(a), when the electronic device displays the main desktop 300, if the first number's call to the first SIM card fails to connect, the first number may re-call the second SIM card. Upon receiving the call request for the second SIM card, the electronic device displays the main call interface 1900. If the second SIM card or the electronic device's storage space contains the first number's contact name, as shown in Figure 19(b), the main call interface 1900 displays the first number's contact name 191 and the first number 192. If the second SIM card or the electronic device's storage space does not contain the first number's contact name, as shown in Figure 19(c), the call interface 1900 displays the first number 192.

[0220] Scenario 2: The incoming call hiding function is not enabled, but the parallel space is enabled (or the parallel space is in use).

[0221] In another application scenario, after the first SIM card is added to the parallel space, the parallel space is in use but not displayed in the foreground. The call hiding function in the parallel space is not enabled, and the electronic device displays the main space desktop 300 as shown in Figure 20(a). If the electronic device receives a call from the first number to the first SIM card, and the contact name and other related information of the first number are stored in the parallel space, then referring to Figure 20(b), the electronic device can display the call interface 2000 of the parallel space. The call interface 2000 can display the contact name 191 of the first number (the contact name of the first number stored in the electronic device), the first number 192, and the parallel space identifier 193. The parallel space identifier 193 is used to indicate that the first number is calling the first SIM card in the parallel space.

[0222] In another implementation, after the first SIM card is added to the parallel space, the parallel space is in use and any interface of the parallel space is displayed in the foreground, while the call hiding function in the parallel space is not enabled. The electronic device can switch the parallel space display interface to the call notification interface. For example, referring to Figure 21(a), the electronic device displays the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301 in a split screen. When the first number calls the first SIM card, in response to this call operation, referring to Figure 21(b), the electronic device can switch the parallel space desktop 301 to the call interface 2000 in the parallel space. Alternatively, the electronic device can also notify the caller of the incoming call through a call bubble, referring to Figure 21(c). In response to this call operation, the electronic device can display a call bubble 2100 on the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301. The call bubble 2100 can display the contact name 191 of the first number, the first number 192, and the parallel space identifier 193.

[0223] In another application scenario, after the first SIM card is added to the parallel space, the call hiding function in the parallel space is not enabled. The parallel space is in use but not displayed in the foreground, as shown in Figure 22(a). The electronic device displays the main space lock screen interface 1800. If the electronic device receives a call from the first number to the first SIM card, and the relevant information of the first number is stored in the parallel space, then the electronic device can display a call bubble 2100 as shown in Figure 22(b) on the main space lock screen interface 1800. This call bubble 2100 can display the contact name 191 of the first number, the first number 192, and the parallel space identifier 193. If the parallel space is in an unused state, then the electronic device can display a call bubble 2100 as shown in Figure 22(c) on the main space lock screen interface 1800. This call bubble 2100 can display the first number 192 and the parallel space identifier 193.

[0224] It should be noted that when the first number calls the first SIM card, the electronic device can generate a call log and add it to the second call log interface. If the user answers the call, the second call log interface can display the caller's name, the time of the call, and the call duration. If the user does not answer the call, the second call log interface can display the caller's name, the time of the call, and the call duration, and highlight the call to indicate that it was a missed call.

[0225] Scenario 3: The incoming call hiding function is not enabled, and the parallel space is not enabled (or the parallel space is in an unused state).

[0226] If the parallel space is in an unused state (or the parallel space is not activated), the electronic device can display the parallel space call interface 2000 shown in Figure 20(c). The parallel space call interface 2000 can display the first number 192 (displayed in the form of an unknown number) and the parallel space identifier 193.

[0227] Scenario 4: Incoming call hiding function is enabled, and parallel space is enabled (or parallel space is in use).

[0228] In another application scenario, after the first SIM card is added to the parallel space, the call hiding function in the parallel space is enabled, and the parallel space is in use and displayed in the foreground, such as in a scenario where the parallel space and the main space are displayed in a split-screen manner. If the electronic device receives a call from the first number (the relevant information of the first number is associated with the parallel space) to the first SIM card, the electronic device can display the call interface 2000 or call bubble 2100 of the parallel space. As shown in Figure 21(a), the electronic device displays the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301 in a split-screen manner. When the first number calls the first SIM card, in response to this call operation, as shown in Figure 21(b), the electronic device can switch the parallel space desktop 301 to the call interface 2000 of the parallel space, or, as shown in Figure 21(c), the electronic device can display the call bubble 2100 on the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301.

[0229] In another implementation, the call hiding function is implemented when the Parallel Space is enabled and in use but not displayed in the foreground. For example, referring to Figure 20(a), the electronic device displays the main space desktop 300, and the first number calls the first SIM card. If the first SIM card stores the contact name of the first number, the electronic device displays the call interface 2000 of the Parallel Space as shown in Figure 20(b). If the first SIM card does not store the contact name of the first number, the electronic device displays the call interface 2000 of the Parallel Space as shown in Figure 20(c).

[0230] Users can not only configure the caller ID hiding function, but also the message hiding function.

[0231] (1) The information hiding function in the parallel space is not enabled, and the parallel space is in use.

[0232] For example, the first SIM card is added to the parallel space for use. The information hiding function in the parallel space is not enabled. The parallel space is in use but not displayed in the foreground. For example, the electronic device displays the main space desktop 300 as shown in Figure 23(a). If the electronic device receives information sent by the first number to the first SIM card, and the relevant information of the first number is associated with the parallel space, then referring to Figure 23(b), the electronic device can display the first information notification bubble 2300, which displays part of the information content, the contact name 191 of the first number, and the parallel space identifier 193. If the user wants to view the complete information sent by the first number, the user can click on the first information notification bubble 2300. In response to the click operation on the first information notification bubble 2300, referring to Figure 23(c), the electronic device displays the second information display interface 1701 of the parallel space, which displays the complete notification information in the first information notification bubble 2300.

[0233] In another application scenario, before displaying the parallel space-related interface, the electronic device can perform identity authentication to protect user privacy. For example, the electronic device displays a first information notification bubble 2300 as shown in Figure 23(b). In response to clicking the first information notification bubble 2300, the electronic device performs facial recognition verification and displays an identity verification interface 307 as shown in Figure 24(c) below during the verification process to inform the user that the electronic device is performing facial recognition or fingerprint verification. After successful user authentication, the electronic device displays a second information display interface 1701 for the parallel space as shown in Figure 23(c).

[0234] (2) The information hiding function is not enabled, and the parallel space is not enabled (or the parallel space is in an unused state).

[0235] In another application scenario, the first SIM card is added to the parallel space for use. The parallel space is in an unused state, and the information hiding function in the parallel space is not enabled. The electronic device displays the main space desktop 300 as shown in Figure 24(a). If the electronic device receives information sent by the first number to the first SIM card, and the relevant information of the first number is associated with the parallel space, then the electronic device can display the first information notification bubble 2300 as shown in Figure 24(b). The first information notification bubble 2300 displays part of the information content and the parallel space identifier 193. If the user wants to view the complete information sent by the first number, the user can click on the first information notification bubble 2300. In response to the click operation on the first information notification bubble 2300, the electronic device performs face recognition verification and displays the identity verification interface 307 as shown in Figure 24(c) during the verification process to prompt the user that the electronic device is performing face recognition or fingerprint verification. After the user authentication is successful, referring to Figure (d) in Figure 24, the electronic device opens the parallel space and displays the second information display interface 1701 of the first number in the parallel space. The second information display interface 1701 displays the complete notification information in the first information notification bubble and the contact name 192 of the first number.

[0236] (3) Information hiding function is enabled, and parallel space is enabled (or in other words, parallel space is in use).

[0237] In another application scenario, the first SIM card is added to the parallel space for use. The information hiding function in the parallel space is enabled, and the parallel space is in use and displayed in the foreground. For example, the parallel space desktop 301 is displayed in full screen, or the parallel space desktop 301 and the main space desktop 300 are displayed in split screen. If the electronic device receives information sent to the first SIM card by the first number (the relevant information of the first number is associated with the parallel space), the electronic device can display the first information notification bubble 2300 as shown in Figure 23(b) on the parallel space desktop 301. The first information notification bubble 2300 displays part of the information content, the contact name 191 of the first number, and the parallel space identifier 193.

[0238] In another application scenario, the first SIM card is added to the parallel space for use. The information hiding function in the parallel space is enabled, and the parallel space is in use and running in the background. For example, the electronic device displays the main space desktop 300 as shown in Figure 23(a). If the electronic device receives information sent to the first SIM card by the first number (the relevant information of the first number is associated with the parallel space), then referring to Figure 23(b), the electronic device can display the first information notification bubble 2300 on the main space desktop 300. The first information notification bubble 2300 displays part of the information content, the contact name 191 of the first number, and the parallel space identifier 193.

[0239] It should be noted that when the first number sends a text message to the first SIM card, regardless of whether the main space hides the first number's contact information when notifying the device of the text message, the electronic device can generate an unread text message record for the text message and add the unread text message record to the second text message record interface. The unread text message record contains information such as the time the text message was sent and the name of the sender.

[0240] Other scenarios for using SIM cards in parallel spaces

[0241] When the first SIM card is added to the parallel space for use, and the electronic device is displaying any application interface in the main space or any application interface in the parallel space in a split-screen manner, the electronic device may receive a call from the first number to the first SIM card. Referring to Figure 25(a), the electronic device displays the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301 in a split-screen manner. When the electronic device receives a call from the first number to the first SIM card, it can display a call bubble 2100. The user can answer the call. In response to the call answering operation, referring to Figure 25(b), the electronic device displays the call answering interface 2500. After the user finishes the call, they can hang up the call. Referring to Figure 25(c), in response to the hang-up operation, the electronic device can cancel the display of the call answering interface 2500 and display the main space desktop 300 and the parallel space desktop 301 in a split-screen manner.

[0242] Of course, in some embodiments, the electronic device displays the call connection interface 2500 and the main desktop 300 in a split-screen manner in response to the call connection operation. This application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0243] In another application scenario, referring to Figure 26(a), the electronic device displays a split-screen main desktop 300 and a parallel desktop 301. If the electronic device receives a call from the first number to the first SIM card, the user can answer the call. In response to the call answering operation, referring to Figure 26(b), the electronic device displays the call answering interface 2500. To facilitate holding the electronic device, the user can fold the screen (fold the screen inward). In response to the folding operation, referring to Figure 26(c), the electronic device displays the call answering interface 2500 in one of the display areas 001. After the user finishes the call, they can hang up. Referring to Figure 26(d), in response to the call hanging up operation, the electronic device can display the main desktop 300 in display area 001.

[0244] It should be understood that after a user hangs up the call, the electronic device may display either the main space desktop 300 or the parallel space desktop 301. Alternatively, the electronic device may display the interface corresponding to the space where the calling SIM card is located. For example, if the call is to the first SIM card, the parallel space desktop will be displayed after the call is hung up; if the call is to the second SIM card, the main space desktop will be displayed after the call is hung up. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0245] In another application scenario, if the electronic device receives a call from the first number to the first SIM card, as shown in Figure 27(a), the electronic device displays a split-screen main desktop 300 and a parallel desktop 301, and also displays a call bubble 2100, which is displayed when the first number calls the first SIM card. If the user continues to click the application icon of the first call application on the main desktop, as shown in Figure 27(b), the electronic device displays the first call record interface 308. If the user selects a second number (the contact name of the second number is user 2) to make a call, as shown in Figure 27(c), the electronic device switches the call bubble 2100 to the parallel call interface 2000, and displays a pop-up window 2700 in the parallel call interface 2000. The pop-up window 2700 displays a third message, which can be "Answer or reject the call before making a new call".

[0246] SIM card slot swapping scenario

[0247] Because users may change the SIM card they are using while using electronic devices—for example, if a first SIM card and a second SIM card are inserted into the SIM card slot of an electronic device, the user may then remove and reinsert the first and / or second SIM cards; or, the user may replace the first or second SIM card with another SIM card, such as a third SIM card. When SIM cards are inserted and removed from electronic devices, the electronic device may affect the SIM cards used in parallel spaces. The following section will introduce application scenarios for SIM card replacement.

[0248] Scenario of swapping the first SIM card slot with the second SIM card slot

[0249] In another application scenario, a first SIM card and a second SIM card are inserted into an electronic device. The first SIM card is used in the parallel space, and the second SIM card is used in the main space. In this case, the phone and message settings interface 304 displayed by the electronic device in the parallel space can be as shown in Figure 28(a). If the user swaps the card slots of the first SIM card and the second SIM card, since the first SIM card is used in the parallel space, its ICCID is associated with the parallel space. Thus, when the first SIM card is inserted or removed, if the electronic device detects that the ICCID of the first SIM card is the same as the ICCID associated with the parallel space, and if the electronic device also has a second SIM card in addition to the first SIM card, the electronic device can continue to use the first SIM card in the parallel space. When the electronic device displays the phone and message settings interface 304, which can be as shown in Figure 28(b), the information display positions of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are swapped.

[0250] Scenario where the first SIM card is removed and the second SIM card is retained.

[0251] If the user removes the first SIM card but retains the second SIM card, although the ICCID of the first SIM card is associated with the parallel space, the associated ICCID is temporarily invalidated because the first SIM card is not inserted into the electronic device. Thus, in response to the removal of the first SIM card, the electronic device displays the phone and messaging settings interface 304 as shown in Figure 28(c), and the use of the SIM card can no longer be configured within the parallel space.

[0252] The scenario where the first SIM card is retained and the second SIM card is removed.

[0253] If the user removes the second SIM card while retaining the first SIM card, although the ICCID of the first SIM card is the same as the ICCID associated in the parallel space, the parallel space cannot continue to use the first SIM card because there is only one SIM card in the electronic device. Therefore, the ICCID associated in the parallel space will be temporarily invalidated. Thus, the phone and messaging settings interface 304 displayed on the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 28(d).

[0254] It should be noted that when the user swaps the first SIM card and the second SIM card in the card slot, the telephone and message settings interface 304 displayed on the electronic device may remain unchanged. That is, the telephone and message settings interface 304 may continue to be as shown in Figure 28(a). This application embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0255] The scenario where the first SIM card is removed, the third SIM card occupies the first SIM card slot, and the second SIM card remains in place.

[0256] In another application scenario, a first SIM card and a second SIM card are inserted into an electronic device. The first SIM card is used in the parallel space, and the second SIM card is used in the main space. In this case, the phone and message settings interface 304 displayed by the electronic device in the parallel space can be as shown in Figure 29(a). If the user removes the first SIM card, keeps the second SIM card, and inserts a third SIM card into the card slot previously occupied by the first SIM card, then since the first SIM card is no longer in the card slot of the electronic device, the ICCID associated in the parallel space will be temporarily invalidated. Furthermore, since multiple SIM cards exist in the electronic device, the phone and message settings interface 304 displayed by the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 29(b). That is, the information of the first SIM card is replaced by the information of the third SIM card, and the selection control 33 is highlighted. The user can then reselect the SIM card to be added to the parallel space between the third SIM card and the second SIM card.

[0257] A scenario where the first SIM card is retained, the second SIM card is removed, and a third SIM card occupies the second SIM card slot.

[0258] If the user removes the second SIM card while keeping the first SIM card, and inserts the third SIM card into the slot previously occupied by the second SIM card, then since the first SIM card remains unchanged in the electronic device (i.e., its ICCID is associated with the parallel space), and multiple SIM cards exist in the electronic device, the associated ICCID in that parallel space remains valid. Thus, the phone and messaging settings interface 304 displayed on the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 29(c), where the information of the second SIM card changes to that of the third SIM card, and the selection control for the first SIM card is highlighted, indicating that the first SIM card is still in use within the parallel space.

[0259] A scenario where the first SIM card is removed, the second SIM card occupies the first SIM card slot, and the third SIM card occupies the second SIM card slot.

[0260] If the user removes the first SIM card and reinserts the second SIM card into the original slot where the first SIM card was located, and inserts the third SIM card into the slot where the second SIM card was previously located, then the phone and message settings interface 304 displayed by the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 29(d). The information of the second SIM card is displayed in the original position where the information of the first SIM card was located, and the information of the third SIM card is displayed in the position before the information of the second SIM card. The selection control 33 is not highlighted, and the user can reselect the SIM card to be added to the parallel space between the third SIM card and the second SIM card.

[0261] The scenario of removing the first SIM card and reinserting it into the original slot.

[0262] In another application scenario, a first SIM card and a second SIM card are inserted into an electronic device. The first SIM card is used in a parallel space, and the second SIM card is used in a main space. In this case, the phone and messaging settings interface 304 displayed by the electronic device in the parallel space can be as shown in Figure 30(a). If the user removes the first SIM card but keeps the second SIM card, the ICCID associated with the parallel space becomes invalid because the first SIM card is no longer present. Thus, in response to the removal of the first SIM card, the phone and messaging settings interface 304 displayed by the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 30(b). The first SIM card cannot be used in the parallel space, and the use of the SIM card cannot be set in the parallel space. If the user reinserts the first SIM card, the electronic device can detect that the ICCID of the first SIM card is the same as the ICCID associated with the parallel space, and that the electronic device contains a second SIM card in addition to the first SIM card. Thus, the telephone and messaging settings interface 304 displayed by the electronic device can be as shown in Figure (c) of Figure 30, in which the information of the first SIM card is redisplayed and the first SIM card continues to be used in the parallel space.

[0263] Changes in the main interface when the SIM card is inserted or removed

[0264] In another application scenario, a first SIM card and a second SIM card are inserted into an electronic device. The first SIM card is used in the parallel space, and the second SIM card is used in the main space. In this case, the SIM card management interface 306 displayed in the main space of the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 31(a). The SIM card management interface 306 shows that the first SIM card is bound to the parallel space, and the number of the first SIM card is not displayed in the SIM card management interface. If the user swaps the first SIM card and the second SIM card in the card slot, then the SIM card management interface 306 displayed by the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 31(b). The information display positions of the first SIM card and the second SIM card are swapped, and the number of the first SIM card is also not displayed. If the user removes the first SIM card and keeps the second SIM card, the electronic device responds to the removal of the first SIM card by displaying the SIM card management interface 306 as shown in Figure 31(c). This SIM card management interface 306 only displays the information of the second SIM card and no longer displays the information of the first SIM card. If the user removes the second SIM card and keeps the first SIM card, the electronic device displays the SIM card management interface 306 as shown in Figure 31(d). This SIM card management interface 306 displays the information of the first SIM card, including the number of the first SIM card, and the first SIM card is used in the main space.

[0265] It should be noted that when the user swaps the first SIM card and the second SIM card in the card slot, the SIM card management interface 306 displayed on the electronic device may remain unchanged. That is, the SIM card management interface 306 may continue to be as shown in Figure 31(a). This application embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0266] In another application scenario, a first SIM card and a second SIM card are inserted into an electronic device. The first SIM card is used in the parallel space, and the second SIM card is used in the main space. In this case, the SIM card management interface 306 displayed by the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 32(a). If the user removes the first SIM card, keeps the second SIM card, and inserts a third SIM card into the slot previously occupied by the first SIM card, then the SIM card management interface 306 displayed by the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 32(b). That is, the information of the first SIM card is changed to the information of the third SIM card, and there is no bound SIM card in the parallel space. If the user removes the second SIM card, keeps the first SIM card, and inserts a third SIM card into the slot previously occupied by the second SIM card, then the SIM card management interface 306 displayed by the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 32(c). The information of the second SIM card is changed to the information of the third SIM card, and the information of the first SIM card remains unchanged. That is, the first SIM card is still used in the parallel space, and the number of the first SIM card is not displayed in the SIM card management interface 306. If the user removes the first SIM card and reinserts the second SIM card into the original slot where the first SIM card was located, and inserts the third SIM card into the slot where the second SIM card was previously located, then the SIM card management interface 306 displayed by the electronic device can be as shown in Figure 32(d). The information of the second SIM card is displayed in the original position where the information of the first SIM card was located, and the information of the third SIM card is displayed in the position before the information of the second SIM card, and there are no bound SIM cards in the parallel space.

[0267] Candybar phone application scenarios

[0268] This application embodiment can be applied not only to foldable screen electronic devices, but also to candybar phones. For example, referring to Figure 33(a), the candybar phone displays the main desktop 300. The user can enter a parallel space from the main desktop 300. For instance, the user can perform a two-finger outward zoom operation on the main desktop 300, or the user can click the application icon of the parallel space on the main desktop 300. In response to the user's operation to activate the parallel space, the candybar phone can display the parallel space desktop 301 as shown in Figure 33(b). The user can click the application icon of the second settings application. In response to the click operation of the application icon of the second settings application, referring to Figure 33(c), the candybar phone displays the second settings application interface 303. The user can click the "Phone and Messages" option 31 in the second settings application interface 303. In response to the click operation of the "Phone and Messages" option 31, referring to Figure 33(d), the candybar phone displays the phone and message settings interface 304. Users can select to add one of the SIM cards to the parallel space, such as by clicking the selection control 32 for the first SIM card (shown as SIM1 in the attached diagram). In response to clicking the selection control 32 for the first SIM card, as shown in Figure 33(e), the candybar phone highlights the selection control 32 for the first SIM card in the phone and messaging settings interface 304, grays out the unused selection controls 33, and displays a first pop-up window 34. This first pop-up window 34 can display the first message and a confirmation option 341. Users can click the confirmation option 341. In response to clicking the confirmation option 341, as shown in Figure 33(f), the first pop-up window 34 closes, and relevant information about the first SIM card, such as contacts, call logs, and SMS records, can be added to the parallel space.
