[0002] In some scenarios, electronic devices with screens can be shared by multiple users, such as computers and all-in-one machines in teaching settings and conference rooms. For example, if user A and user B can both use the same electronic device, user B might be able to access or view files or applications stored on user A's device, posing a privacy risk to user A. If user A sets a password for the electronic device, locking it will prevent user B from using it normally. Summary of the Invention

[0074] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown here.

[0075] The terms "first" and "second" in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the term "comprising" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive protection. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices. "A plurality" in this application can mean at least two, for example, two, three, or more, and is not limited in the embodiments of this application. "A and / or B" in this application can represent three cases: A, B, or A and B.

[0076] The technical solutions provided in this application are applicable to electronic devices with a display interface. Generally, a display interface can be used to display content. The content displayed on the display interface may include, but is not limited to, system interfaces (or desktops), application software windows, application software icons, folders, system windows, controls, etc. This application does not specifically limit this.

[0077] In some possible application scenarios, the aforementioned electronic devices may be mobile phones, tablets, personal computers, handwriting tablets, televisions, monitors, all-in-one computers, game consoles, portable computers, wearable devices with wireless communication capabilities (such as smartwatches, smart glasses, smart bracelets, or smart helmets), or in-vehicle devices, etc. Exemplary embodiments of the electronic devices include, but are not limited to, those equipped with... Or electronic devices with other operating systems.

[0078] As scenarios where multiple users share the same electronic device become more common, such as computers in classrooms where not only teachers but also students can use the computer, the data or files on the computer may be at risk of being lost or tampered with. Similarly, in conference room environments, multiple users' data, files, and applications are stored on the same device, posing a risk of information security breaches such as unauthorized viewing, modification, or deletion.

[0079] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a control method and related equipment for a display interface, which can improve the information security and reliability of electronic devices. It should be noted that the technical solution provided in this application can be applied to scenarios where multiple users share the same electronic device, or to scenarios where a single user uses an electronic device, preventing others from viewing, tampering with, or deleting data, files, applications, and other content on the user's electronic device, thereby reducing the information security risks of a single user's electronic device.

[0080] Figure 1 An exemplary control method for a display interface is shown, which can be executed by an electronic device. The method may include the following steps:

[0081] S101, in response to a region lock screen command, determines the locked object in the display interface.

[0082] Please combine Figure 2 The electronic device can receive a user-triggered area lock command and retrieve the locked object within the display interface. Optionally, the locked object can be an area within the display interface, or it can be a window displayed within the interface. Optionally, the locked object can include, but is not limited to, content within the area, such as images, web pages, text, lines, windows, etc. The location range of the locked object is denoted as the range corresponding to the locked object. Figure 2 The dashed box shown in the image represents the area corresponding to the locked object.

[0083] S102, receive the target operation on the target location in the display interface.

[0084] Electronic devices can lock objects, also known as locking them. In this state, the object is locked, meaning it's in a locked state. Operations on the locked object are not responded to. For example, moving, modifying, closing, or deleting the locked object will not be responded to by the electronic device. However, when the object is unlocked, the electronic device can respond to user actions on it.

[0085] User operations on the display interface can include operations on locked objects, as well as operations on non-locked objects (referred to as other objects). The electronic device can determine the user's operation on any location within the display interface. The electronic device currently receives an operation on a target location within the display interface; for ease of explanation, this operation on the target location will be denoted as the target operation.

[0086] S103, if the target location is within the range corresponding to the locked object, display unlock prompt content on the display interface.

[0087] S104, if the target location is not within the range corresponding to the locked object, then respond to the target operation.

[0088] Electronic devices can determine whether an operation is being performed on a locked object by judging whether the target location is within the range corresponding to the locked object.

[0089] In one possible scenario, the target location is within the area corresponding to the locked object, indicating that the operation is performed on the locked object. The electronic device can execute the process in step S103 and display unlock prompts on the display interface. The unlock prompts are used to prompt for unlock verification of the locked object.

[0090] In some applications, the unlock prompt can be partially or entirely located within the area corresponding to the locked object. In other applications, the unlock prompt can be located anywhere on the display screen.

[0091] Optionally, the unlock prompt content can be in any of the following possible designs, or a combination of multiple designs.

[0092] In one possible design, the unlock prompt may include a first prompt text. The electronic device can display this first prompt text on a screen, which can be used to prompt the user to enter unlock verification information. For example... Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device can display a prompt window (or floating window) that includes the first prompt text on the display interface.

[0093] Optional, such as Figure 3B As shown, the prompt window (or floating window) for the first prompt text can include a first button and a second button. The first button is used to trigger the prompt window for exiting the first prompt text. When the user selects the first button, the first prompt text will no longer be displayed on the electronic device's screen, and the electronic device will not respond to the target operation. The second button is used to trigger the window for entering unlock verification information. When the user selects the second button, the window for entering unlock verification information will be displayed on the electronic device's screen.

[0094] In another possible design, the unlock prompt may include an input area (or window, floating window) for unlock verification information. Optionally, the input area for unlock verification information can be one or more default areas. Alternatively, the input area for unlock verification information can be one or more user-configured areas.

[0095] In some scenarios, such as Figure 3C As shown, users can enter unlock verification information in the input area. For example, users can enter characters or combinations of characters in the unlock verification information area. The electronic device can then verify the obtained characters or combinations of characters.

[0096] In some scenarios, such as Figure 3D As shown, users can enter their fingerprints in the input area for unlock verification information. The electronic device can then verify the acquired fingerprint.

[0097] In some scenarios, users can enter facial information in the input area for unlocking verification. The camera device in the electronic device, or a camera device connected to the electronic device, is activated to collect facial information. For example... Figure 3E As shown, part or all of the input area for unlocking verification information can display images or videos captured by the camera device. The electronic device can then verify the acquired facial information.

[0098] In some scenarios, electronic devices may include touchscreens. For example... Figure 3F As shown, users can create touch traces in the input area for unlock verification information. Electronic devices can then verify the acquired touch trace information.

[0099] Another possible scenario is that the target location is not within the range corresponding to the locked object, which could indicate that the operation is performed on another object. The electronic device can execute the process in step S104, and the electronic device can respond to the target operation.

[0100] Based on the control method of the display interface provided in any of the above embodiments, the electronic device can pre-acquire the target unlock information corresponding to the locked object. After acquiring the locked object, the electronic device can acquire the unlock verification information corresponding to the locked object for easy differentiation, and record the unlock verification information corresponding to the locked object as the target unlock information. The target unlock information can be configured into the electronic device after the user sets the locked object. The target unlock information can be used to unlock the locked object.

[0101] When the electronic device detects that the target location is within the range corresponding to the locked object, it can obtain unlock verification information and verify the obtained unlock verification information.

[0102] In one possible scenario, if the electronic device determines that the obtained unlock verification information has passed verification, the electronic device can unlock the locked object. At this time, since the locked state of the locked object is cancelled, the electronic device can respond to any operation on the locked object. Optionally, if the electronic device determines that the obtained unlock verification information has passed verification, the electronic device can unlock the locked object and respond to the target operation.

[0103] In another possible scenario, if the electronic device determines that the obtained unlock verification information has failed verification, it will not respond to the target operation. Since the obtained unlock verification information has failed verification, it suggests that the target operation may not be performed by the user who locked the object. The electronic device's failure to respond to the target operation improves the information security of the locked object.

[0104] Based on the control method of the display interface provided in any of the above embodiments, the area lock screen command can be generated by an electronic device.

[0105] For example, an electronic device can generate a region lock screen command in response to detecting a region lock screen operation. A region lock screen operation can be understood as a user's action on the electronic device. Optionally, a region lock screen operation can include, but is not limited to, any of the following operations:

[0106] The user's first preset operation on the input device of the electronic device;

[0107] The user's second preset operation on the virtual buttons displayed on the electronic device;

[0108] The user's third preset operation on the touch display device of the electronic device;

[0109] Preset voice control operations;

[0110] Preset gesture control operations.

[0111] In some possible scenarios, the electronic device detects a user's first preset operation on the device's input device, which can trigger the device to generate a region lock screen command. Optionally, the input device on the electronic device can be a hardware button, such as... Figure 4A As shown in (a), the first preset operation may include, but is not limited to: pressing a hardware button, pressing a hardware button multiple times consecutively, or pressing and holding a hardware button for a preset duration. Alternatively, the input device on the electronic device may be a knob, such as... Figure 4A As shown in (b), the first preset operation may include, but is not limited to, rotating a knob to a preset position. Alternatively, the input device on the electronic device may be a switch, such as... Figure 4A As shown in (c), the first preset operation may include, but is not limited to, putting the switch in the on or off state.

[0112] In other possible scenarios, the electronic device detects a second preset operation by the user on the virtual button for the area lock screen function displayed on the electronic device, which can trigger the electronic device to generate an area lock screen command. Optionally, the user can perform the second preset operation on the virtual button through a command input device. The command input device may include, but is not limited to, a mouse, keyboard, touchpad, remote control, stylus, etc. Optionally, the display screen of the electronic device is a touch screen, and the user can directly perform the second preset operation on the virtual button for the area lock screen function through the touch screen. The second preset operation may include, but is not limited to: a single click on the virtual button, continuous clicks on the virtual button, or a long press on the virtual button for a preset duration.

[0113] In one possible design, a user can perform a first operation on the electronic device. In response to the first operation, the electronic device displays a region lock screen button. The first operation can be an action that triggers the electronic device to display the region lock screen button. The function of the first operation can be to cause the electronic device to display the region lock screen button. This application does not specifically limit the form of the first operation.

[0114] Optional, such as Figure 4B As shown, the electronic device can display a floating window at a preset position on the display interface, and display a region lock screen button within the floating window. The region lock screen button is a virtual button used to trigger the region lock screen command. For example... Figure 4B As shown, users can perform region lock screen operations on the region lock screen button, such as performing the aforementioned second preset operation on the region lock screen button. The electronic device can respond to the region lock screen operation and generate a region lock screen command.

[0115] In some other possible situations, such as Figure 4CAs shown, when an electronic device detects a third preset operation by the user on the touch display device, it can trigger the electronic device to generate a first instruction. Optionally, the touch display device can be implemented as a touch screen. The third preset operation may include, but is not limited to: sliding on the touch screen to form a trajectory, or sliding on the touch screen to form a graphic.

[0116] In other possible scenarios, electronic devices may have audio capture capabilities. The electronic device detects preset voice control operations performed by the user. For example, the electronic device can capture audio and recognize preset voice commands within the audio. Preset voice commands may include, but are not limited to, voice content with the same or similar meanings such as: "Turn on region lock," "Activate region lock," or "I want to lock my region."

[0117] In other possible scenarios, electronic devices may have image acquisition capabilities and gesture recognition capabilities. Users can perform preset gesture control operations by making air gestures within the image acquisition range of the electronic device. The electronic device can detect whether the user has performed a preset gesture control operation by detecting whether the acquired image includes the preset gesture. Optionally, in this example, the air gesture can be a static gesture, or it can be a dynamic gesture.

[0118] Based on the control method of the display interface provided in any of the above embodiments, the process of determining the locked object in the display interface in response to the area lock screen command of the electronic device can be implemented in one or more of the following ways, but is not limited to.

[0119] In one possible implementation, during the process of the electronic device determining the locked object in the display interface, an initial selection area may be displayed. The position and range of the initial selection area may be a default configuration, or the initial selection area may be the range of the most recently locked object.

[0120] Users can perform region adjustment operations on the selected area. Region adjustment operations may include, but are not limited to, adjusting the position of the selected area and adjusting the outline of the selected area.

[0121] In some examples, the outline of the selected area can be rectangular, such as... Figure 5A As shown. The selected area is movable. Users can select the area and drag it to any position on the display screen to move the selected area.

[0122] In some application scenarios, the outline of the selection area can be non-rectangular, such as circular, elliptical, triangular, square, parallelogram, or irregular shapes. The outline of the selection area can be configured according to the actual application needs, or it can be selected by the user. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0123] In some examples, the outline of the selected area can be adjusted, such as... Figure 5B As shown. Adjustment indicators can be set on the outline of the selected area, such as... Figure 5B The black square in the image. Adjust the outline of the indicator to overlap with the outline of the selected area. Users can select an outline adjustment indicator and move it to change the position of the indicator's boundary, thus resizing the selected area.

[0124] As can be seen, users can perform region adjustment operations on the selected area, and the electronic device can respond to the region adjustment operation by adjusting the position of the selected area and / or the range of the selected area.

[0125] An electronic device can determine a locked object based on the first position of an adjusted selection area and the range of the selection area. The electronic device can also determine the entire content within the adjusted selection area as the locked object. In some scenarios, the content within the selection area may include application windows, web pages, text, images, lines, icons, system desktop elements, etc.

[0126] Optional, please refer to Figure 5B The electronic device can display an "OK" button and a "Cancel" button. The "OK" button confirms the selected area. The "Cancel" button deselects the selected area. In response to the "OK" button, the electronic device can lock all content within the selected area. In response to the "Cancel" button, the electronic device can re-lock the selected area on the display. Alternatively, the electronic device can exit the area lock screen function in response to the "Cancel" button.

[0127] Another possible implementation, such as Figure 5C As shown, users can create trajectories on the display interface. For example, a user can create touch trajectories on the touchscreen of an electronic device. Alternatively, a user can control movable objects such as the cursor and mouse displayed on the electronic device's screen to create trajectories. Upon responding to a region lock screen command, the electronic device can acquire the target trajectory created on the display interface. Optionally, the electronic device can respond to a region lock screen command to acquire trajectories created on the display interface within a preset time period. Or, the electronic device can respond to a region lock screen command to determine the most recently created trajectory on the display interface as the target trajectory.

[0128] Electronic devices can determine the selected area based on a target trajectory. In some examples, such as... Figure 5C As shown, the target trajectory is a closed shape, and the area covered by the target trajectory can be defined as the selection area.

[0129] In other examples, the target trajectory may not be a closed shape. The electronic device can determine a closed shape containing the target trajectory based on the target trajectory, and define the area covered by the determined closed shape as the selection area. For example... Figure 5D As shown, the thick solid line represents the target trajectory, and the thin dashed closed figure represents the closed figure containing the target trajectory.

[0130] In some examples, the target trajectory may or may not be a closed figure. For example... Figure 5E As shown in (a) above, the elliptical outline outlined by the thick black solid line represents the target trajectory. The electronic device can determine a region that can cover the target trajectory based on it. This region can be rectangular, circular, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not impose excessive limitations on the shape of this region. Figure 5E As shown in (b), the thin dashed rectangular outline represents the area that the electronic device determines can cover the target trajectory. This area reflects that the positions of all points on the target trajectory lie within it. The electronic device can then define this determined area as the selection region.

[0131] Optionally, the location and size of the area that the electronic device determines can cover the target trajectory are adjustable.

[0132] Electronic devices can determine the target to be locked based on the location and extent of a selected area. The electronic device can identify the entire content within the selected area as the target to be locked. In some scenarios, the selected area determined by the electronic device is adjustable. Users can perform area adjustment operations on the selected area. Area adjustment operations may include, but are not limited to, adjusting the position and outline of the selected area. The electronic device can determine the target to be locked based on the adjusted position and extent of the selected area.

[0133] In another possible implementation, during the process of determining the locked object in the display interface in response to a region lock screen command, the electronic device can receive a window selection operation, and the electronic device can use the selected window as the locked object. For example... Figure 5F As shown, the display interface includes multiple windows, denoted as Window 1 and Window 2. In response to a region lock screen command, the electronic device receives a window selection operation on Window 1 during the process of determining the object to be locked within the display interface. The electronic device can then designate Window 1 as the object to be locked. The position and extent of Window 1 also define the position and extent of the object to be locked.

[0134] Optionally, after an electronic device locks a selected window, it can configure the selected window's state to be immovable. For example, after an electronic device locks window 1, it will not respond to any movement operations on window 1.

[0135] Optionally, after an electronic device designates a selected window as a locked object, the selected window can be in a movable state. For example, after an electronic device designates window 1 as a locked object, it can respond to any movement of window 1. After window 1 moves, the device can redetermine the range corresponding to the locked object based on the new position of window 1 and the area of ​​window 1.

[0136] Based on the control method of the display interface provided in any of the above embodiments, the electronic device can obtain the target unlocking information corresponding to the locked object in one or more possible designs.

[0137] The target unlock information may include one or more types of information, such as character combinations, fingerprint information, facial information, touch trajectory information, etc. In some scenarios, where the target unlock information includes multiple types of information, any one of these types of information can be used for unlock verification. Optionally, the number and types of information used for unlock verification can be configured by the user, who can select multiple types of information from the target unlock information for unlock verification. For example, if each piece of unlock verification information is matched with the information in the target unlock information, then the obtained unlock verification information can be determined to have passed verification.

[0138] In one possible design, the target unlock information for any locked object can be pre-configured. In other words, the user can set the target unlock information before locking the object. In some application scenarios, the electronic device can use the target unlock information of the most recently acquired locked object as the target unlock information for the current locked object. In other application scenarios, the electronic device can be in a locked screen state. When the electronic device is in a locked screen state, it can be either in a screen-off state or displaying a lock screen interface. The user needs to enter the unlock information of the electronic device to unlock it and end the locked screen state. The electronic device can use the unlock information used for the electronic device as the target unlock information for the current locked object.

[0139] In one possible design, after the electronic device identifies a locked object on the display interface, it can obtain the target unlock information corresponding to that object. During the process of obtaining the target unlock information, the electronic device can display a locking prompt message indicating the target unlock information.

[0140] In some examples, the lockout prompt may include a second prompt text, which may be used to prompt the user to set target unlock information.

[0141] In some application scenarios, after an electronic device identifies a locked object on its display interface, it can display a lock prompt, and part or all of the lock prompt is located within the area corresponding to the locked object, or part or all of the lock prompt is located within the selected area. For example, please refer to... Figure 6A In (e), the electronic device can display a second prompt text in the selected area.

[0142] In some applications, electronic devices can display a lock notification message at any location on the display interface. This lock notification message includes a secondary notification text. This secondary notification text can be used to prompt the user to set target unlock information.

[0143] For example, such as Figure 6A As shown in (a), the electronic device can display a window (or a floating window) that includes a second prompt text.

[0144] For example, electronic devices may include fingerprint collection devices. Figure 6A As shown in (b), the second prompt text can be used to prompt the user to input fingerprint information through the fingerprint acquisition device. The user can input their fingerprint through the fingerprint acquisition device. The electronic device can use the acquired fingerprint as the target unlock information.

[0145] For example, the image acquisition device of an electronic device, or an image acquisition device connected to an electronic device, is activated to capture facial information. This image acquisition device can also be called a camera. Figure 6A As shown in (c), the second prompt text can be used to prompt the user to input facial information through the image acquisition device. The electronic device can use the acquired facial information as the target unlock information.

[0146] For example, electronic devices may include touch devices. These touch devices can be touchpads or touchscreens, etc. Figure 6A As shown in (d), the second prompt text can be used to prompt the user to set a trajectory via the touch device. The electronic device can use the acquired touch trajectory as target unlock information.

[0147] In some examples, the lockout prompt may include a settings area for target unlock information. This settings area can be a window or a floating window, etc. By displaying this settings area, the user is prompted to set the target unlock information within that area. Optionally, the target unlock information settings area can be one or more default areas. Alternatively, the target unlock information settings area can be one or more user-configured areas.

[0148] In some scenarios, such as Figure 6BAs shown, users can enter target unlock information in the target unlock information settings area. For example, users can enter characters or character combinations in the target unlock information settings area. The electronic device can determine the characters or character combinations entered in the target unlock information area as the target unlock information for the locked object.

[0149] In some scenarios, such as Figure 6C As shown, the electronic device may include an under-display fingerprint sensor. The location of the target unlock information setting area is related to the location of the under-display fingerprint sensor. The user can input their fingerprint through the under-display fingerprint sensor in the target unlock information setting area. The electronic device can use the acquired fingerprint as the target unlock information. Alternatively, the electronic device can connect to the fingerprint sensor, and the electronic device can receive fingerprint information collected by the fingerprint sensor. During the process of setting the target unlock information, the electronic device can receive the fingerprint information collected by the fingerprint sensor and determine that fingerprint information as the target unlock information corresponding to the locked object.

[0150] In some scenarios, electronic devices may include touch devices. These touch devices can be touchpads or touchscreens, etc. Electronic devices can acquire touch trajectories through these devices. Users can create trajectories in the target unlock information settings area, such as... Figure 6D As shown, electronic devices can identify the touch trajectory formed in the setting area of ​​the target unlock information as the target unlock information.

[0151] In some examples, the lockout prompt may include a secondary prompt text and a settings area for target unlock information. The electronic device may display the secondary prompt text in the settings area for target unlock information.

[0152] In some scenarios, the secondary prompt text displayed in the target unlock information settings area can be used to prompt the user to set characters or character combinations, such as... Figure 6E As shown in (a) above. Users can enter characters or combinations of characters in the target unlock information settings area. The electronic device can determine the target unlock information for the locked object by entering characters or combinations of characters in the target unlock information area.

[0153] In some scenarios, electronic devices may include image acquisition devices, or electronic devices may be connected to image acquisition devices. The second prompt text displayed in the target unlock information settings area can be used to prompt the user to input facial information via the image acquisition device, such as... Figure 6E As shown in (b) above, part or all of the target unlock information setting area can display images or videos captured by the camera device. The electronic device can identify the acquired facial information as the target unlock information corresponding to the locked object.

[0154] In some scenarios, electronic devices may include touch devices. Touch devices can be implemented as touchscreens, etc. The second prompt text displayed in the target unlock information settings area can be used to prompt the user to set a track in the target unlock information settings area, such as... Figure 6E As shown in (c) above. Electronic devices can use the touch trajectory obtained from the target unlock information setting area as target unlock information.

[0155] In the control method for the display interface provided in any of the above embodiments, the electronic device can be equipped with an Android system, an iOS system, a Windows system, a HarmonyOS system, etc. Taking the Android system as an example, Figure 7 An exemplary schematic diagram of a software architecture is shown.

[0156] In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom: the application layer, the application framework layer, the Android Runtime and system libraries, and the kernel layer.

[0157] The application layer can include a series of application packages. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the application package may include applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, and SMS.

[0158] The application framework layer provides application programming interfaces (APIs) and a programming framework for applications within the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the application framework layer may include a WindowManager, content providers, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, etc.

[0159] The window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the screen size, determine if a status bar is present, lock the screen, capture the screen, etc. The content provider is used to store and retrieve data, making this data accessible to applications. This data can include video, images, audio, made and received phone calls, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc. The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying images, etc. The view system can be used to build applications. A display interface can consist of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text notification icon can include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying images.

[0160] The phone manager provides communication functionality for electronic devices, such as managing call status (including connection and disconnection). The resource manager provides applications with various resources, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, etc. The notification manager allows applications to display notifications in the status bar, conveying informational messages that disappear automatically after a short pause without user interaction. For example, the notification manager can be used to notify of download completion or message alerts. The notification manager can also display notifications as icons or scrolling text in the system's top status bar, such as notifications from background applications, or as dialog boxes on the screen. Examples include displaying text messages in the status bar, emitting alert sounds, vibrating the communication terminal, and flashing indicator lights.

[0161] The Android Runtime comprises the core libraries and the virtual machine. The Android Runtime is responsible for the scheduling and management of the Android system. The core libraries consist of two parts: one part contains the functionalities that Java calls, and the other part is the core Android library itself. The application layer and application framework layer run in the virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer and application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object lifecycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0162] The system library can include multiple functional modules. For example: a surface manager, media libraries, 3D graphics processing libraries (e.g., OpenGL ES), and 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL). The surface manager manages the display subsystem and provides fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The media libraries support playback and recording of various common audio and video formats, as well as still image files. The media libraries support various audio and video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, H.334, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG. The 3D graphics processing libraries are used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing. The 2D graphics engine is the drawing engine for 2D graphics.

[0163] 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.

[0164] In some possible designs, the electronic device may include a display screen, which may be implemented as a touch screen. When a user touches the touch screen, the touch screen-related driver in the electronic device's kernel layer can detect the touch signal on the touch screen, generally referred to as a raw touch event. The kernel layer parses the raw touch event and saves it to a device file for the framework layer to read and distribute. The framework layer can distribute the parsed touch event to the corresponding application. In the control method of the display interface provided in this application, for a touch event, the framework layer can detect whether the location involved in the touch event (i.e., the aforementioned target location) is within the range of the locked object. If the target location is within the range of the locked object, the framework layer may not distribute the touch event, i.e., intercept the touch event; if the target location is not within the range of the locked object, the framework layer can distribute the touch event to the corresponding application so that the application can respond to the target operation corresponding to the touch event.

[0165] The area corresponding to the locked object can be understood as a touch-blocking region. Optionally, the position of the locked object can be moved. The Framework layer can monitor the position of the locked object after it has been moved and redefine the area corresponding to the locked object, that is, redefine the touch-blocking region.

[0166] For example, please combine Figure 5F The display interface includes multiple windows, denoted as Window 1 and Window 2. In response to a region lock screen command, the electronic device receives a window selection operation on Window 1 during the process of determining the object to be locked within the display interface. The electronic device can then designate Window 1 as the object to be locked. The position and extent of Window 1 also define the position and extent of the object to be locked.

[0167] When window 1 is locked, touch events on window 1 are intercepted at the framework layer. Touch events on the overlapping portion of window 2 and window 1 are also intercepted by the framework and not distributed to window 2 or the corresponding application of window 1. Therefore, an electronic device can choose not to respond to user touch operations in window 1, and this also includes not responding to user touch operations on the overlapping portion of window 2 and window 1.

[0168] The non-overlapping portion of Window 2 and Window 1 (denoted as the target portion) is touchable. The framework layer can distribute touch events of the target portion in Window 2 to the corresponding application in Window 2. Thus, the electronic device can respond to user touch operations on the target portion.

[0169] Figure 8A An exemplary control method for a display interface is shown, which can be executed by an electronic device. The method may include the following steps:

[0170] The S801A responds to a region lock screen command and displays the selected region on the display interface.

[0171] In some examples, the electronic device can respond to a region lock screen command and display a selected region. The electronic device then displays the initial selected region. Optionally, the position of this initial selected region can be a default value or the position of the most recently selected region. Optionally, the outline size of this initial selected region can be a default value or the outline size of the most recently selected region.

[0172] In other examples, the electronic device can respond to a region lock screen command, acquire a trajectory in the display interface, determine a selected region based on the acquired trajectory, and display the selected region in the display interface.

[0173] S802A, in response to a region adjustment command, adjusts the position and / or outline of the selected region.

[0174] S803A, in response to the region adjustment end command, determines the locked object based on the selected region and displays a lock prompt.
