In order to solve the above-described technical problem, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application have the following general ideas.In one embodiment, the method includes determining a current operating state of the electronic device as a first operating state and a current configuration of the electronic device as a first configuration corresponding to the first operating state. The method may also include detecting information and controlling the electronic device to be directed from the first operating state to a second operating state different from the first operating state when the information satisfies a preset condition and the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to a second configuration corresponding to the second operating state, the second configuration being different from the first configuration.In other words, based on the current operating state of the deformable electronic device, the current configuration of the deformable electronic device may be aligned to a configuration corresponding to the current operating state in order to solve the technical problem in which the options for the configuration of the electronic device are limited.In order to better understand the technical solutions described above, the technical solutions of the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It is to be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiment are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions instead of limitations of the technical solutions, and the embodiments of the present application and the technical features can be combined in conflict-less manners in the explanations.In one embodiment, the electronic device includes a deformable device that includes a flexible screen, such as a smartphone, notebook computer, tablet computer, wearable device, or other deformable electronic device.FIG. 1 illustrates a process flow diagram for an information processing method. Generally, steps S 101, S 102, and S 103 include:S 101 includes determining a current operating state of a deformable electronic device as a first operating state and a current configuration of the electronic device as a first configuration corresponding to the first operating state.S 102 includes detecting information.S 103 includes controlling the electronic device to be oriented from the first operating state to a second operating state different from the operating state when the information satisfies a preset condition, and deforming the electronic device from the first configuration to a second configuration corresponding to the second operating state, the second configuration being different from the first configuration.In an embodiment, the specific conversion process from step S 101 to step S 103 is as follows.First, a current operating state of the electronic device is determined and referred to as a first operating state. In one embodiment, this could be a screen locked state. Then, a first configuration is determined based on the current configuration of the electronic device. This first configuration corresponds to the first operating state.Take the following illustrative example. When a user takes the electronic device with it in the screen locked state, it may be folded, folded, or otherwise configured to fit comfortably within a user's pocket. At this time, the current configuration of the electronic device is a collapsed configuration corresponding to the screen locked state.Once the first operating state and the first configuration have been determined, information is detected. In a specific implementation, the information may be verification information, information input by the user, or some other information. After the information has fulfilled a preset condition, the electronic device is oriented from the first operating state into a second, different operating state.For example, if the user inputs verification information that can enable the screen lock state in which the electronic device is currently located, the electronic device is transferred from the screen lock state to the screen lock non-state. Meanwhile, the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration corresponding to the second operation state.Continuing the illustrative example, if the first configuration of the electronic device in the screen locked state is a collapsed configuration and the electronic device is transferred from the screen locked state to the screen locked state, the current configuration of the electronic device is changed from the first collapsed configuration to a second straight panel configuration to be practically used for the user, thereby greatly improving the user experience.This method further includes controlling the electronic device to be oriented from the first configuration to the second configuration corresponding to the second operating state. In other words, the electronic device is able to actively deform into the second configuration as a result of a change in the current operating state of the electronic device.Alternatively, the method may include receiving an external force applied to the electronic device, wherein the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration under the action of the external force. In this case, the electronic device aligns its current configuration to the second configuration corresponding to the current operation state based on the change in the current operation state of the electronic device.Continuing to use the above non-screen as an example, if the current operating state of the electronic device is transitioned from the non-screen state to the non-screen state, the electronic device may, based on the current non-screen state, align the current configuration from the collapsed configuration to the straight panel configuration, so that the user may perform operations on the device more comfortably and more conveniently than would be possible in the collapsed configuration.In some embodiments, the information recognized in step S 102 may have various forms, and is not limited to the plurality of forms mentioned below. However, if the information comprises information of physiological parameters, the method with reference to FIG. 2 may further comprise:S 201 includes monitoring physiological parameters of a user currently using the electronic device.S 202 includes indicating that the preset condition is met when the physiological parameters indicate that the electronic device is not in contact with at least one body part of the current user, whereupon the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration.S 203 comprises that the electronic device itself remains in the first configuration if the physiological parameters show that the electronic device is in contact with at least one body part of the current user.A specific conversion process from step S 201 to step S 203 proceeds as follows.First, physiological parameters of a user who currently uses the electronic device are monitored. These physiological parameters may include respiratory system parameters and circulatory system parameters such as heart rate information, respiratory rate, and the like. If the physiological parameters show that the electronic device is not in contact with at least one body part of the current user, the preset condition is satisfied and the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration.For example, in some embodiments, the electronic device includes a deformable smartphone, and the user flexes the smartphone to wrap around the user's wrist, wherein the current configuration of the smartphone is a circular configuration. If the user's heart rate information is not detected by a pressure sensor within the smartphone, this means that the smartphone has been removed from the user's wrist. In this case, the smartphone recognizes that it is not in contact with the skin surface of the user's wrist, and then determines that the smartphone satisfies the preset condition, and thus would be deformed from the circular configuration to the straight panel configuration.Additionally, in some embodiments, the user may be alerted by changing the current configuration of the electronic device. For example, once the smartphone is removed from the user's wrist, the smartphone may be deformed to alert the user that the smartphone has changed to a new operating state, which may mean that the smartphone is stolen. However, when the user's heart rate information is obtained via the pressure sensor in the smartphone (for example, 75 beats per minute), this means that the smartphone is in contact with the skin surface of the user's wrist and remains in the circular configuration.In various embodiments, those skilled in the art may also achieve other physiological parameters of the user by monitoring the electronic device to detect whether the electronic device meets the preset condition. These other physiological parameters may include, among others, the breathing rate, skin condition and contact area with the user's body part.In some embodiments, the determining whether the electronic device satisfies the preset condition may be based on the physiological parameters of the size of the contact area with the user's body part. In such cases, the size of the contact surface between the electronic device and the body part of the user can be detected by a corresponding module for skin detection in the electronic device. If the detected contact area between the electronic device and the user's body part exceeds a preset threshold, this information satisfies the preset condition and the electronic device can be deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration, thereby promptly and efficiently avoiding the loss of the electronic device. Various physiological parameters may be used to meet the preset condition, and other embodiments may include other physiological parameters, although not expressly listed herein.In some embodiments, the information detected in step S 102 may include verification information corresponding to an input operation performed by an operation element for the electronic device. This verification information may include pattern information, fingerprint information, iris information, or other information sufficient for verification purposes.An embodiment of the implementation process from step S 101 to step S 103 may now be explained, in which the electronic device includes a smartphone, the first operating state includes the screen lock state, and the first configuration includes a rolled-up configuration. When a detected input operation is a preset unlock operation, the electronic device is in the unlocked state, thereby aligning the current configuration of the electronic device from the rolled-up configuration to an unrolled configuration. In such a situation, the preset unlocking operation may include the user inputting a certain unlocking pattern for the electronic device, and the electronic device may be set from the screen locked state to the screen locked non-state based on the unlocking pattern. This conversion process is not limited to the specific embodiment described herein.In some embodiments where the information detected in step S 102 is a communication event to be processed from a second electronic device, the specific conversion process from step S 102 to step S 103 may include the following.In one embodiment, the smartphone is in a stand-by mode and is in a rolled-up configuration and receives a communication event to be processed from another electronic device. This communication event to be processed may be a short message, WeCh information, QQ information or other incoming information. After receiving this communication to be processed, the smartphone determines whether the communication to be processed satisfies the preset condition. If the preset condition is satisfied, the smartphone is set from the standby mode to a normal operating state, and the configuration of the smartphone is deformed from the rolled-up configuration to a non-rolled-up configuration to facilitate the viewing of information by the user or the processing of an incoming request. Both improve the service of the smartphone and at the same time provide a better user experience. If the preset condition is not met, the smartphone remains in the standby mode and in the rolled-up configuration.In some embodiments, the method further comprises the steps of: maintaining the current operating state of the electronic device as the first operating state; and maintaining the current configuration of the electronic device as the first configuration after checking that the information does not satisfy the preset condition.In some embodiments, if the information does not satisfy the preset condition, the current operating state of the electronic device is maintained as the first operating state and the electronic device is actively maintained in the first configuration. Even if an external force is applied to the electronic device as described in a previous embodiment, the electronic device cannot passively deform from the first configuration to the second configuration.In other embodiments, the method further comprises a response by the electronic device. When in the first operating state, the electronic device may be responsive to instructions in a first portion of an instruction set, and when in the second operating state, may be responsive to instructions in a second portion of the instruction set. Further, the number of instructions in the first part is different from the number of instructions in the second part. For example, in one embodiment, the first operating state and the second operating state of the electronic device may be a screen locked state and a screen locked state, respectively. In another, the first operating state and the second operating state may be the non-screen locked state and the screen locked state, respectively.The method disclosed herein may additionally include, in some embodiments, a situation where the number of instructions in the first portion of an instruction set corresponding to the first operating state is less than the number of instructions in the second portion of an instruction set corresponding to the second operating state. In such a situation, the electronic device may be deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration, wherein the electronic device is deformed from a folded state to a deployed state.Alternatively, the number of instructions in the second portion corresponding to the second operating state may be less than the number of instructions in the first portion corresponding to the first operating state. In this case, the electronic device may be deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration, wherein the electronic device is deformed from a deployed state to a deployed state.In an embodiment, the first operating state and the second operating state of the electronic device may each include a screen locked state and a screen unlocked state, and the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration, each including a folded state and an unfolded state. That is, the electronic device is deformed from the corresponding folded configuration in the screen locked state to the corresponding opened configuration in the screen locked state, thereby significantly facilitating the user's operability.Alternatively, the first operating state and the second operating state of the electronic device may include the non-screen locked state and the screen locked state, respectively, and the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration including an unfolded state and a folded state, respectively. In other words, the electronic device can also be deformed from the corresponding unfolded configuration in the non-screen locked state to the corresponding configuration in the screen locked state.Furthermore, the various embodiments may be applied to various life situations to alert the user in time. As a specific example, the user A is to edit some important files in an office, and the content of these important files is quite confidential. After the user A enters the office, a smartphone of the user A is controlled to be in a deformable state and is oriented into a rectangular configuration, and is then hung on a door of the office of the user A, with one side of the smartphone facing a hall and the other side facing an orientation that may be visible to the user A. The side of the smartphone facing the floor is provided with an infrared camera that can recognize that there are other persons approaching the office of the user A. In response, the page of the smartphone that is bent toward the user A may alert the user A that the current environment is unsafe and that the user A should interrupt the revision of the confidential files by continuously flashing the provided LED lights or other visible or audible signals. After the user A processes these confidential files, the smartphone is then detached and the electronic device can be kept in a certain fixed configuration.As another specific example, a user B drives a bicycle at night on a rather remote road. In this situation, the current configuration of the smartphone can be maintained in the folded state, so that the smartphone can be hung on a handlebar of the bicycle. One side of the smartphone faces a substantially front direction of travel and the other side faces a substantially rear direction. When the smartphone recognizes that there are other persons approaching the user B, the smartphone alerts the user B in time to take safety measures in time to avoid hazards through safety alert information such as voice transmission, flashing red LED lights, or the like. Of course, the user may adjust the specific configuration(s) to meet their own needs. Other embodiments are also contemplated, but are not mentioned herein.FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of a deformable electronic device comprising a housing 10 and a processor 20 coupled to the housing 10, wherein the processor 20 determines a current operating state of the electronic device as a first operating state and a current configuration of the electronic device as a first configuration corresponding to the first operating state. The processor 20 may also recognize information and control the electronic device to be deformed from the first operation state to a second operation state different from the first operation state when the information satisfies a preset condition. After the preset condition is satisfied, the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to a second configuration corresponding to the second operation state, the second configuration being different from the first configuration.In some embodiments, the processor 20 is specifically used to control the electronic device to be switched from the first configuration corresponding to the first operating state to the second configuration corresponding to the second operating state. It may be further used to detect an external force applied to the electronic device, wherein the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration under the action of the external force.Further, the processor 20 may also be used to maintain the current operating state of the electronic device as the first operating state and maintain the current configuration of the electronic device after checking that the information does not satisfy the preset condition.In the embodiment of the present application, the processor 20 is further used to respond to instructions in a first part of an instruction set; and when in the second operating state, the electronic device may respond to instructions in a second part of the instruction set, the number of instructions in the first part being different from the number of instructions in the second part.FIG. 4 illustrates an electronic device including a first determination unit 30 configured to determine a current operating state of the electronic device as a first operating state and a current configuration of the electronic device as a first configuration corresponding to the first operating state;

or to detect an external force applied to the electronic device and deform the electronic device from the first configuration to the second configuration under the effect of the external force.In some embodiments, the electronic device further comprises: a first detection unit configured to monitor physiological parameters of a user currently using the electronic device; a second control unit configured to indicate that the preset condition is met if the physiological parameters indicate that the electronic device is not in contact with at least one body part of the current user and the electronic device is deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration; and a third control unit configured to control the electronic device to remain itself in the first configuration if the physiological parameters indicate that the electronic device is in contact with at least one body part of the current user.In some embodiments, the electronic device may further include a fourth control unit configured to maintain the current operating state of the electronic device as the first operating state and maintain the current configuration of the electronic device as the first configuration after checking that the information does not satisfy the preset condition.Further, in some embodiments, the electronic device may, when in the first operating state, respond to instructions in a first portion of an instruction set, and when in the second operating state, respond to instructions in a second portion of the instruction set, wherein the number of instructions in the first portion is different than the number of instructions in the second portion.In other embodiments of the electronic device, the number of instructions in the first part corresponding to the first operating state is less than the number of instructions in the second part corresponding to the second operating state, and the first control unit 50 is used to deform the electronic device from a folded state to a deployed state.Alternatively, the number of instructions in the second part corresponding to the second operation state may be less than the number of instructions in the first part corresponding to the first operation state, and the first control unit 50 is used to deform the electronic device from a deployed state to a deployed state.According to one or more technical solutions in the embodiments, one or more of the following technical effects can be achieved.The desired technical effects may be achieved by determining a current operating state of the electronic device as a first operating state and a current configuration of the electronic device as a first configuration corresponding to the first operating state;

and deforming the electronic device from the first configuration to a second configuration corresponding to the second operating state, the second configuration being different from the first configuration.In other words, based on the current operating state of the deformable electronic device, the current configuration of the deformable electronic device may be aligned to a configuration corresponding to the current operating state to solve the technical problem that the options for changing the configuration of the device are limited in a deformable electronic device.In some embodiments, the electronic device deformed from the first configuration to the second configuration corresponding to the second operating state may perform various functions, such as controlling the electronic device to be oriented from the first configuration to the second configuration corresponding to the second operating state; or detecting an external force applied to the electronic device, wherein the electronic device is deformed under the action of the external force.In some embodiments, the electronic device is capable of actively aligning its current configuration based on the current operating state. In other embodiments, when under the effect of an external force, the electronic device aligns the current configuration of the electronic device, thereby improving the performance of the electronic device and providing a more pleasing experience to the user.In some embodiments, the physiological parameters of the user currently using the electronic device are monitored.

On the other hand, the electronic device is able to remain in the first configuration itself if the physiological parameters show that the electronic device is in contact with the at least one body part.
