[0011] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display method for an electronic device. The method can be executed by a processor of a computer device. The computer device can include devices capable of data processing, such as servers, laptops, tablets, desktop computers, smart TVs, set-top boxes, mobile devices (e.g., mobile phones, portable video players, personal digital assistants, dedicated messaging devices, portable gaming devices), etc. FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic flowchart of a display method of an electronic device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The electronic device can include a display screen with a variable size. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes step SI01 to step SI03.

[0012] At S101, in response to detecting that a first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen is updated, the updated first size parameter is obtained.

[0013] The electronic device can be any device with a display screen of variable size and is not limited here. For example, the electronic device can include a laptop, a desktop computer, or a smartphone. The display screen with variable size can include a flexible screen, a foldable screen, or a curved screen, which is not limited here. In addition, the first size parameter can be any parameter that represents the size of the expanded portion of the display screen, which is not limited here. For example, the first size parameter can be an expanded length of the expanded portion of the display screen or an expanded area of the expanded portion of the display screen.

[0014] In some embodiments, a sensor embedded inside the electronic device can be configured to monitor the change in the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen in real time. When the sensor detects that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen is updated, the sensor can send the data to the processor or the operating system to obtain the updated first size parameter.

[0015] At SI02, based on the updated first size parameter, a display position of a target object displayed on the expanded portion of the display screen is updated to obtain the updated display position.

[0016] The target object can be a visual subject in the display image, and the display image can be displayed at the expanded portion of the display screen. The visual subject can refer to a most prominent object with a specific shape in the display image, which is a primary factor attracting the attention of a viewer and a core for the image organization. For example, the target object can include an icon (logo, logotype), an object occupying the largest area in the display image, or an object in a special position such as the center, which is not limited here.

[0017] In some embodiments, based on the updated first size parameter, the display position of the target object can be updated by using a pre-set layout strategy to obtain the updated display position. Then, the updated display position can be applied to the target object to cause the target object to move to the new coordinate.

[0018] In some embodiments, an anchor relationship can first be established between a first target point on the target object and a second target point on the expanded portion of the display screen. After the first size parameter is updated, the display position of the target object can be recalculated based on the updated first size parameter and the anchor relationship to obtain the updated display position.

[0019] At SI03, based on the updated display position, the target object is displayed.

[0020] In some embodiments, after the updated display position of the target object is obtained, the updated display position can be applied to the target object to cause the target object to move to a new coordinate point on the expanded portion of the display screen. For example, when the expanded portion of the display screen becomes larger, the layout adjustment can be performed on the target object to maintain the relative position of the target object unchanged using the updated display position. When the expanded portion of the display screen becomes smaller, the layout adjustment can be performed on the target object to maintain the relative position of the target object unchanged or prevent the target object from being cropped by using the updated display layout to maintain its relative position or avoid being cropped using the updated display position.

[0021] In some embodiments, when the display screen is a flexible screen, and the flexible screen expands or contracts, the target object can be displayed on the expanded portion of the flexible screen based on the updated display position.

[0022] In some embodiments, when the display screen is a foldable screen, and the foldable screen is folded, the target object can be displayed on one side of the screen. When the foldable screen is unfolded, the target object can be displayed on the expanded foldable screen based on the updated display position.

[0023] In embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to detecting that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen is updated, the updated first size parameter can be obtained. Based on the updated first size parameter, the display position of the target object displayed on the expanded portion of the display screen can be updated to obtain the updated display position. Based on the updated display position, the target object can be displayed. Thus, as the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen changes, the display position of the target object displayed on the expanded portion of the display screen can also be updated accordingly. Then, based on the updated display position, the target object can be displayed. Thus, no matter the degree of expansion of the display screen, users can obtain a relatively consistent and coherent visual and interaction experience, which achieves a good user experience.

[0024] In some embodiments, the updated first size parameter can include the updated expanded length of the expanded portion. In step SI 02, updating the display position of the target object displayed on the expanded portion of the display screen based on the updated first size parameter to obtain the updated display position can include step SI 11.

[0025] At SI 11, based on a specific distribution ratio and the updated expanded length of the expanded portion, the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion is updated to obtain the updated display position.

[0026] In some embodiments, the specific distribution ratio can be the golden ratio. For example, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is 20 cm, the updated display position, which is calculated using the golden ratio, can be 12.36 cm. That is, the display position of the target object can be moved to a position 12.36 cm from the lower boundary of the expanded portion. The lower boundary of the expanded portion can correspond to the lower boundary of the display image.

[0027] In some embodiments, based on the specific distribution ratio and the updated expanded length of the expanded portion, the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion can be updated, while the display position of the target object in a direction perpendicular to the expansion direction of the expanded portion can remain unchanged, to obtain the updated display position. In some embodiments, a coordinate system can be established in the expanded portion, with the expansion direction of the expanded portion as a Y-axis, the direction perpendicular to the expansion direction of the expanded portion as an X-axis, and the center point of the upper boundary of the expanded portion as the origin. The upper boundary of the expanded portion can correspond to the upper boundary of the display image. For example, when the display position of the target object in the expanded portion is (10, 10), the updated display position can be (10, 13). That is, the X-coordinate value can remain unchanged, and the Y-coordinate value can be updated in real time.

[0028] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion can be updated based on the specific distribution ratio and the updated expanded length of the expanded portion to obtain the updated display position. Thus, as the expanded length of the expanded portion is updated, the target object can adapt to the updated expanded length of the expanded portion. Then, the target object can be displayed to the user in the most suitable method to effectively improve the user visual experience.

[0029] In some embodiments, in step SI02, updating the position of the target object displayed on the expanded portion of the display screen based on the updated first size parameter to obtain the updated display position includes step S121 to step SI22.

[0030] At S121, based on the updated first size parameter, the center position of the expanded portion is determined.

[0031] In some embodiments, the center position of the expanded portion can be determined through preset data conversion rules by using the updated first size parameter. In some embodiments, the first size parameter can be the expanded length of the expanded portion. Based on the updated expanded length, the center position of the expanded portion can be calculated through the preset data conversion rules. For example, in the direction of the expanded length, if the expanded length is known to be L, the Y-coordinate of the center position can be obtained by dividing L by 2.

[0032] At SI 22, the display position of the target object is updated to be the center position to obtain the updated display position.

[0033] In some embodiments, when the display screen is a flexible screen, and the flexible screen expands or contracts, the target object displayed on the expanded portion of the flexible screen can be in the center position of the expanded portion. That is, the updated display position can be the center position of the expanded portion. For example, the display image can be a peacock background. The target object can be the peacock. As the size of the expanded portion of the flexible screen is updated, the updated display position of the peacock can be always at the center position of the expanded portion. For another example, the display image can be a butterfly-with-open-wings background. The target object can be the butterfly. As the size of the expanded portion of the flexible screen is updated, the updated display position of the butterfly can always be at the center position of the expanded portion. That is, the belly of the butterfly can always be at the center position of the expanded portion.

[0034] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the center position of the expanded portion can be determined based on the updated first size parameter. The display position of the target object can be updated to the center position to obtain the updated display position. Thus, the display position of the target object can be updated to be the center position, which is beneficial for the target object to be displayed at the center of the expanded portion. Thus, no matter how the first size parameter of the expanded portion changes, the target object can quickly adapt to the updated first size parameter to provide a consistent and pleasing visual experience for the user.

[0035] In some embodiments, in step Sill, updating the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion based on the specific distribution ratio and the updated expanded length of the expanded portion to obtain the updated display position can include step S131.

[0036] At S131, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is less than or equal to a second size parameter, the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion is updated based on the specific distribution ratio and the updated expanded length of the expanded portion to obtain the updated display position.

[0037] The second size parameter can be a preset size threshold. In some embodiments, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is less than or equal to the preset size threshold (i.e., the second size parameter), the display position of the target object in the expansion direction can be adjusted according to the specific distribution ratio and the current actual expanded length (i.e., the updated expanded length of the expanded portion). For example, the preset size threshold can be the specific ratio of the expanded length when the display screen is fully expanded. The specific ratio can be 60% or 70%, which is not limited here. In some embodiments, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is less than or equal to 60% of the expanded length when the expansion portion is fully expanded, the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expansion portion can be updated based on the specific distribution ratio and the updated expanded length of the expanded portion to obtain the updated display position.

[0038] In embodiments of the present disclosure, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is less than or equal to the second size parameter, the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion can be updated based on the specific distribution ratio and the updated expanded length of the expanded portion, to obtain the updated display position. Thus, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is less than or equal to the second size parameter, the display position of the target object on the display image can be adjusted flexibly and intelligently to improve the visual experience for the user.

[0039] In some embodiments, the method can further include step SI41.

[0040] At S141, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is greater than the second size parameter, the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion is updated based on the specific distribution ratio and the expanded length when the display screen is fully expanded to obtain the updated display position.

[0041] In some embodiments, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is greater than the preset size threshold (i.e., the second size parameter), the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion can be updated based on the specific distribution ratio and the expanded length when the display screen is fully expanded to obtain the updated display position. In some embodiments, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is greater than 60% of the expanded length when the display screen is fully expanded, the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the display portion can be updated based on the specific distribution ratio and the expanded length when the display screen is fully expanded to obtain the updated display position. If the size length of the expanded portion is always greater than the second size parameter, the display position of the target object on the display screen viewed by the user can be unchanged.

[0042] In embodiments of the present disclosure, when the updated size length of the expanded portion is greater than the second size parameter, the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion can be updated based on the specific distribution ratio and the expanded length when the display screen is fully expanded to obtain the updated display position. Thus, when the display screen is sufficiently expanded, the display position of the target object can be automatically adjusted according to the specific distribution ratio and the expanded length when the display screen is fully expanded to improve the visual experience for the user.

[0043] In some embodiments, the method further includes step SI51 before step SI01 of obtaining the updated first size parameter in response to detecting that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen is updated.

[0044] At SI51, in response to receiving a telescopic control instruction for the display screen, the display screen is driven to expand or contract and periodically obtain the first size parameter.

[0045] The telescopic control instruction can be any instruction used to adjust the expansion degree of the expanded portion of the display screen, which is not limited. For example, the telescopic control instruction can include a power-on instruction, a power-off instruction, a screen telescopic instruction, or a lock-screen instruction.

[0046] In some embodiments, the telescopic control instruction can be the power-on instruction. In response to receiving the power-on instruction, the display screen can be driven to expand, and the first size parameter can be periodically obtained.

[0047] In some embodiments, the telescopic control instruction can be the power-off instruction. In response to receiving the power-off instruction, the display screen can be driven to contract, and the first size parameter can be periodically obtained.

[0048] In some embodiments, the telescopic control instruction can be the lock-screen instruction. In response to receiving the lock-screen instruction, the display screen can be driven to contract, and the first size parameter can be periodically obtained. Driving the display screen to contract and periodically obtaining the first size parameter after receiving the lock-screen instruction can facilitate the display of a target image when the screen is locked, which is more suitable for an application scenario such as an office scenario.

[0049] In embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to receiving the telescopic control instruction of the display screen, the display screen can be driven to expand and contract and the first size parameter can be periodically obtained. Thus, the target image can be displayed in real time when the display screen expands and contracts, which can improve the visual experience for the user.

[0050] In some embodiments, in step SI51, driving the display screen to expand or contract and periodically obtaining the first size parameter in response to receiving the telescopic control instruction of the display screen can include step SI 61.

[0051] At S161, in response to receiving the power-on instruction, the display screen is driven to expand, a basic input / output system (BIOS) controller is powered on, and the first size parameter is periodically obtained.

[0052] In some embodiments, the electronic device can also include an embedded controller (EC) and a random access memory (RAM). During implementation, the embedded controller can drive the display screen to expand and power on the BIOS controller in response to receiving the power-on instruction. The embedded controller can periodically obtain the first size parameter and write the first size parameter into the memory.

[0053] In step SI01, before obtaining the updated first size parameter in response to detecting that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen is updated, the method can also include steps SI71 and SI72.

[0054] At SI71, in response to detecting that the BIOS controller is powered on, the display position of the target object is determined based on the first size parameter that is obtained most recently.

[0055] In some embodiments, the embedded controller can drive the BIOS controller to power on in response to receiving the power-on instruction. The BIOS controller can periodically read the first size parameter from memory. After the BIOS controller is powered on, the BIOS controller can determine the display position of the target object based on the first size parameter that is most recently obtained.

[0056] At SI 72, the target object is displayed based on the display position of the target object.

[0057] In some embodiments, during the boot process of the electronic device, the target object can be a logo. In some embodiments, the coordinates of the logo of a Boot Graphics Resource Table (BGRT) can be calculated and reported to the operating system boot loader (OS boot loader) to display the logo.

[0058] In embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to receiving the power-on instruction, the display screen can be driven to expand, the BIOS controller can be powered on, and the first size parameter can be periodically obtained. In response to detecting that the BIOS controller is powered on, the display position of the target object can be determined based on the first size parameter that is most recently obtained. The target object can be displayed based on the display position of the target object. Since the display position of the target object is determined based on the first size parameter that is most recently obtained after the BIOS controller is powered on, the target object can be displayed in time to improve the visual experience for the user.

[0059] In some embodiments, in step S161, in response to receiving the power on instruction, driving the display screen to expand, powering on the BIOS controller, and periodically obtaining the first size parameter can include step SI81.

[0060] At SI81, in response to receiving the power-on instruction, the display screen is driven to expand, the BIOS controller is powered on, and the first size parameter is periodically obtained based on a first time interval.

[0061] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the power-on instruction, the display screen can be driven to expand, and the BIOS controller can be powered on. The embedded controller can periodically obtain the first size parameter based on the first time interval and update the memory with the obtained first size parameter.

[0062] In Step SI01, in response to detecting that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen is updated, obtaining the updated first size parameter can include step SI91.

[0063] At S191, in response to detecting that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen is updated within a second time interval, the updated first size parameter is obtained. The second time interval is greater than or equal to the first time interval.

[0064] In some embodiments, after displaying the power-on display object based on the display position, the BIOS controller can periodically obtain the first size parameter from memory based on the second time interval and adjust the display position based on the periodically obtained first size parameter.

[0065] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the power-on instruction, the embedded controller can drive the display screen to expand and power on the BIOS controller. The embedded controller can periodically obtain the first size parameter based on the first time interval and update the obtained first size parameter in the memory. The BIOS controller can initialize the display screen, and read and parse the target object. After parsing the target object, the BIOS controller can obtain the first size parameter stored in memory. Then, the BIOS controller can calculate the display position of the target object and display the target object. Subsequently, an event of the BIOS controller having a period of the second time interval can be registered. In response to detecting that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen is updated within the second time interval, the updated first size parameter can be obtained, and the display position of the target object can be updated.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second time interval can be equal to the first time interval. Thus, the frequency of the embedded controller obtaining the first size parameter can be synchronized with the frequency of the BIOS controller obtaining the updated first size parameter. Therefore, the real-time display quality of the target object can be improved.

[0067] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the power-on instruction, the display screen can be driven to expand, the BIOS can be powered on, and the first size parameter can be periodically obtained based on the first time interval. In response to detecting that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen is updated within the second time interval, the updated first size parameter can be obtained. Then, when the electronic device is powered on, the target object can be quickly displayed, and the target object can be subsequently displayed and updated high-efficiently. Thus, the human-machine interactive visual experience can be improved during the power-on process.

[0068] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the application of the display method of the electronic device in the actual scenario can be described. For example, the description can be made by taking the Logo display scenario during the power-on process of the electronic device having the flexible screen.

[0069] Currently, flexible screens are gradually applied in electronic devices. In related technologies, during the power-on process of an electronic device, the flexible screen can continuously expand, and the power-on logo can rise continuously as the flexible screen expands. The display position of the power-on logo on the expanded portion of the flexible screen can remain fixed and unchanged, and the center of the Logo may be no longer at the golden ratio point in the expansion direction of the expanded portion of the flexible screen, which brings poor visual experience for the user. For example, FIG. 2 illustrates the power-on process of the laptop having the flexible screen. At the first moment during the power-on process, the display position of the power-on logo (visual subject in the scene i.e., the house in the scene) on the expanded portion of the expanded portion. The user has good visual experience. As the flexible screen continues to expand, at the second moment during the power-on process, the display position of the power-on logo on the expanded portion of the flexible screen may no longer be at the golden ratio point in the expansion direction of the expanded portion. Thus, the visual experience of the user can be reduced.

[0070] Based on this, embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a display method for an electronic device. The electronic device can include the flexible screen. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes steps S201 to S203.

[0071] At S201, in response to detecting that the first size parameter of the unfolded portion of the flexible screen is updated, the updated first size parameter is obtained.

[0072] At S202, based on the updated first size parameter, the display position of the icon displayed on the unfolded portion of the flexible screen is updated to obtain the updated display position.

[0073] At S203, the icon is displayed based on the updated display position.

[0074] In embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to detecting that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the flexible screen is updated, the updated first size parameter can be obtained. Based on the updated first size parameter, the display position of the icon on the expanded portion of the flexible screen can be updated to obtain the updated display position. Based on the updated display position, the icon can be displayed. Thus, as the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the flexible screen changes, the display position of the icon on the expanded portion of the flexible screen can be updated accordingly. The icon can be then displayed based on the updated display position. Thus, no matter how the expansion degree of the flexible screen is, the user can obtain a relatively consistent and continuous visual and interactive experience to realize a good user experience.

[0075] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic device. As shown in FIG. 4, the electronic device 40 includes a display screen 41 with a variable size and a control assembly 42.

[0082] In some embodiments, the update module 52 can be further configured to determine the center position of the expanded portion based on the updated first size parameter and update the display position of the target object as the center position to obtain the updated display position.

[0083] In some embodiments, the update module 52 can be further configured to, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is less than or equal to the second size parameter, update the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion based on the specific distribution ratio and the updated expanded length of the expanded portion to obtain the updated display position.

[0084] In some embodiments, the display apparatus 50 of the electronic device can further include a first update module 53. The first update module 53 can be configured to, when the updated expanded length of the expanded portion is greater than the second size parameter, update the display position of the target object in the expansion direction of the expanded portion based on the specific distribution ratio and the expanded length when the display screen is fully expanded to obtain the updated display position.

[0085] In some embodiments, the display apparatus 50 of the electronic device can further include a drive module 54. The drive module 54 can be configured to, in response to receiving a telescopic control instruction of the display screen, drive the display screen to expand or contract, and periodically obtain the first size parameter.

The display apparatus 50 of the electronic device can further include a determination module 55. The determination module 55 can be configured to, in response to detecting that the BIOS controller is powered on, determine the display position of the target object based on the first size parameter that is most recently obtained, and display the target object based on the display position of the target object.

[0087] In some embodiments, the drive module 54 can be further configured to, in response to receiving the power-on instruction, drive the display screen to expand, power up the BIOS controller, and periodically obtain the first size parameter based on a first time interval. The acquisition module 51 can be further configured to, in response to detecting that the first size parameter of the expanded portion of the display screen within the second time interval is updated, obtain the updated first size parameter. The second time interval can be greater or equal to the first time interval.
