Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202110063910.4, entitled "WIDGET DISPLAY METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE," filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on January 18, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] The present application relates to the field of electronic devices, and more particularly to a widget display method and an electronic device. [Background technology]

[0003] A mobile phone is used as an example. Widgets can improve the home screen of a mobile phone and provide information required by a user, thereby making effective use of the spatial location of the touch screen. For example, a user can add a music widget on the home screen of a mobile phone, and by using the music widget on the home screen, the user can control music playback, music pause, previous song playback, next song playback, etc. A user can also add a calendar widget to the home screen if the user intends to know calendar information. However, the user needs to manually add a widget to the home screen each time, which results in redundant and complicated operations and poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application provides a widget display method and electronic device to help improve user experience.

[0005] According to a first aspect, there is provided a widget display method applicable to an electronic device, the method comprising: displaying a first widget having a first size in a first area of ​​a first page of a home screen; in response to detecting an ongoing task in a first application, simultaneously displaying a widget of the first application and the first widget with the reduced size in the first area, where the widget of the first application displays first content, the widget of the first application has a second size, and the second size is smaller than the first size; and in response to the electronic device satisfying a preset condition, adjusting the size of the widget of the first application from the second size to the first size, where the widget of the first application and having the first size displays second content, the second content being more than the first content, and the second content including the first content.

[0006] When detecting that a first application has an ongoing task, the electronic device can automatically display a widget of the first application on the device's home screen, displaying the widget in an area on the graphical interface where the first is displayed. This implements automatic widget addition, and the location of the first display can also be reused. The screen space of the electronic device is limited. The location of the first widget is reused, thereby making the home screen clean and uncluttered, and the widget does not need to be added in a new location, and information requested by the user and having a higher priority can be provided to the user.

[0007] The electronic device may detect the scenario change in order to adjust the size of the widget and / or the content displayed by the widget, and / or the layout of the content displayed by the widget, to provide more information to the user, facilitate user interaction, and improve the user experience.

[0008] Referring to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, when the first application is a schedule application, the manner of detecting that there is an ongoing task in the first application is one or a combination of several of the following manners: by identifying schedule content in the schedule application, determining that a time difference between a system time of the electronic device and a time in the schedule content is less than a first time threshold; or by identifying schedule content in the schedule application, determining that a distance difference between a geographical location of the electronic device and a geographical location in the schedule content is less than a first distance threshold.

[0009] Referring to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the pre-set condition is one or a combination of a plurality of the following conditions: determining that the time difference between the system time of the electronic device and the time in the schedule content is smaller than a second time threshold, where the second time threshold is smaller than the first time threshold; or determining that the distance difference between the geographical location of the electronic device and the geographical location in the schedule content is smaller than a second distance threshold, where the second distance threshold is smaller than the first distance threshold.

[0010] Referring to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, when the widget of the first application and the first widget with the reduced size are displayed simultaneously, the method further includes: detecting a pinch gesture, wherein a first contact point of the pinch gesture is in contact with the widget of the first application and a second contact point of the pinch gesture is in contact with the first widget; and in response to the pinch gesture, combining the widget of the first application and the first widget into a first composite widget for display in the first area.

[0011] A user may perform function fusion on different widgets by using a composite widget. When any widget meets the trigger condition for displaying on the home screen, the home screen displays the composite widget, and the user does not need to manually trigger the creation of another widget. The electronic device can intelligently push widgets to the user based on user actions (pinching and combining widgets), which is more intelligent.

[0012] Referring to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, when the widget of the first application and the first widget with a reduced size are displayed simultaneously, the method further comprises: detecting that there is an ongoing task in a media application, stopping the display of the first widget, and simultaneously displaying the widget of the first application and the widget of the media application in the first area.

[0013] After detecting that a media application is playing in the background, a widget generated by the media application is displayed on the home screen, and the user can directly interact with the application's widget.

[0014] Referring to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: detecting that the system time of the electronic device exceeds an end time in the schedule content, stopping display of the widget that belongs to the first application and has the first size, and displaying the first widget having the first size in the first area.

[0015] The electronic device may stop displaying the schedule widget based on the end time of the schedule and display another widget on the home screen. The widgets displayed on the home screen may be intelligently changed based on user requirements to provide the user with content that is more relevant to the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0016] Referring to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the step of detecting that there is an ongoing task in the schedule application is specifically a step of detecting that there is an ongoing task in the schedule application by using a broadcast receivers component in the schedule application.

[0017] Referring to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the step of detecting that an ongoing task exists in a first application is specifically a step of: detecting that the ongoing task exists in the first application on another electronic device to which the same user account is logged on; or detecting that the ongoing task exists in the first application on another electronic device after the electronic device is paired with the other electronic device.

[0018] A user can continue a task in different locations by creating a widget for the application across devices. An electronic device may receive an ongoing task in an application on another electronic device and display the widget for the application on its home screen. A user can interact with the application across different electronic devices, thereby improving the user experience.

[0019] Referring to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the first page is a homepage of the home screen; or the first widget is a time weather widget or a calendar widget; or both a 4G signal identifier and a 5G signal identifier are displayed in a notification bar of the screen; or the first area is at the top of the first page; or the first widget is transparent or semi-transparent; or the first application is a calendar application, a notes application, or a reminder application; or the first application is an audio application or a video application; or the ongoing task is playing music, and the first content is a song name, a singer, a play / pause control, a play next song control, and a play previous song control, and the second content is the song name, the singer, the play / pause control, the play next song control, and the play previous song control, a favorites control, and a playback mode switching control; or the ongoing task is a travel task, and the first content is a departure time, a train number, a departure station, and an arrival station, and the second content is the departure time, the arrival time, the train number, the departure station, the arrival station, and a seat number; or the ongoing task is an express delivery task, and the first content is a pickup location and a pickup time, and the second content is the pickup location, the pickup time, and a pickup code; or the ongoing task is a movie task, and the first content is a cinema location and a movie showtime, and the second content is the cinema location, the movie showtime, and a seat number; or the ongoing task is a meeting task, and the first content is a meeting time and a meeting location, and the second content is the meeting time, the meeting location, and a meeting list.

[0020] When detecting that a first application has an ongoing task, the electronic device can automatically display the widget of the first application on the device's home screen, displaying the widget in the area of ​​the graphical interface where the time weather widget is displayed. This implements automatic widget addition, and the location of the time weather widget can also be reused. There are many places where time is displayed and viewed on an electronic device, and the device displays a weather time widget on the home screen, but users do not use the weather time widget in most cases. Therefore, by using the technical solution in this embodiment, the location of the weather time widget can be reused to display the widget of an application including an ongoing task. The screen space of an electronic device is limited. The location of the time weather widget is reused, which can make the home screen clean and tidy, and widgets do not need to be added in new locations, and can provide users with information requested by the user and with higher priority.

[0021] According to a second aspect, there is provided an electronic device comprising a display, a memory, and one or more processors, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, enable the electronic device to perform the widget display method according to the first aspect and possible implementations thereof.

[0022] According to a third aspect, there is provided a computer storage medium comprising computer instructions that, when executed on an electronic device, enable the electronic device to perform a widget display method according to any possible implementation of any one of the preceding aspects.

[0023] According to a fourth aspect, there is provided a computer program product, which, when executed on an electronic device, enables the electronic device to perform a widget display method according to any possible implementation of any one of the preceding aspects.

There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, and capacitive pressure sensors. A capacitive pressure sensor may include at least two parallel plates made of a conductive material. When a force is applied to the pressure sensor 180A, a capacitance between the electrodes changes. The electronic device 100 determines the pressure intensity based on the change in capacitance. When a touch operation is performed on the display 194, the electronic device 100 detects the intensity of the touch operation by using the pressure sensor 180A. The electronic device 100 may calculate the touch location based on the detection signal of the pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations performed at the same touch location but with different touch operation intensities may correspond to different operation commands. For example, when a touch operation with a touch operation intensity less than a first pressure threshold is performed on a message application icon, an instruction to view SMS messages is executed. When a touch action having a touch action strength greater than or equal to a first pressure threshold is performed on the message application icon, an instruction to compose a new SMS message is executed.

The gyro sensor 180B may be configured to implement image stabilization during photography. For example, when the shutter is pressed, the gyro sensor 180B detects the angle at which the electronic device 100 jitters, and through calculations based on the angle, obtains the distance that the lens module needs to compensate for, and controls the inverse motion of the lens to offset the jitter of the electronic device 100, thereby implementing image stabilization. The gyro sensor 180B may further be used in navigation and somatic gaming scenarios.

[0076] The barometric pressure sensor 180C is configured to measure barometric pressure. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 calculates altitude based on the barometric pressure values ​​measured by the barometric pressure sensor 180C to assist in positioning and navigation.

The electronic device 100 detects infrared light reflected from a nearby object by using the photodiode. If the intensity of the detected reflected light is greater than a threshold, it may be determined that an object is present near the electronic device 100. If the intensity of the detected reflected light is less than the threshold, the electronic device 100 may determine that no object is present near the electronic device 100.

For example, touch actions performed on different applications (e.g., taking pictures and playing audio) may correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The motor 191 may also correspond to different vibration feedback effects for touch actions performed on different areas of the display 194.

The electronic device 100 interacts with a network through the SIM card to implement functions such as voice and data communication. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 uses an eSIM, i.e., an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card may be embedded in the electronic device 100 and cannot be separated from the electronic device 100.

[0090] The software system of the electronic device 100 may use a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservices architecture, or a cloud architecture, and may be an Android system, a Linux system, a Windows system, a HarmonyOS system, an iOS system, etc.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the Android system, which has a layered architecture, is used as an example to describe the software structure of the electronic device 100.

[0092] 2 is a block diagram of the software structure of electronic device 100 according to one embodiment of the present application. In a layered architecture, the software is divided into several layers, each with a distinct role and task. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into five layers: from top to bottom, the application layer, the application framework layer, the Android runtime and system libraries, the hardware abstraction layer, and the kernel layer.

[0093] The application layer may include a series of application packages.

[0094] As shown in FIG. 2, the application package may include applications such as music, calendar, message, note, Meetime, browser, video, mail, Bluetooth, and maps.

[0095] In this embodiment of the present application, for a media application (e.g., a music application or a video application shown in FIG. 2), electronic device 100 may detect that there is an ongoing task in the media application (e.g., a music application or a video application) on electronic device 100 and display a media widget on the home screen.

[0096] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may further detect a scenario change (e.g., a change in the system time or geographic location of electronic device 100) and adjust the size of a media widget displayed on the home screen and / or the content displayed by the media widget, and / or the layout of the content displayed by the media widget.

[0097] In the Android operating system, an Android application may be built with at least one of the following components:

[0098] An Activity may be referred to as an "activity" in some embodiments. An Activity is an interface for interaction between the system and the user and can be a user interface (visible to the user) on a single screen. For example, an email application may have an Activity that displays a list of new emails, an Activity that writes emails, and an Activity that reads emails. Each Activity exists independently of other Activities. In addition, another application can start any of the Activities (if the email application allows the other application to start any of the Activities). For example, a camera application may start an Activity within the email application that writes a new email so that the user can share a photo. Activities facilitate complete critical interactions between the system and applications. The system can use Activities to keep track of the content the user is currently involved in (e.g., the content displayed on the screen) to ensure that the system continues to execute the process that hosts the Activity.

[0099] A Service may be referred to as a "service" in some embodiments. A Service is an application component that can run for long periods of time in the background without providing an interface. A service can be started by another application component (e.g., an Activity), and the service continues to run in the background even if the user switches to another application. For example, if a user uses an email application, a service may play music in the background or fetch data over the network, but this does not block interaction between the user and the email application (e.g., an Activity writing an email).

[0100] Services can be classified as foreground and background services. If an application has a service, but the service is visible to the user while it is running, the service is a foreground service. For example, for a music application, music playback is a service that can be directly perceived by the user, so the music application may send a notification to the user indicating that the music application is going to appear in the foreground (to avoid being closed in the background) to notify the system. In this case, the system understands that it should not expend effort to keep the service process running, as the process's disappearance would annoy the user.

[0101] The Broadcast Receiver may be referred to as a "broadcast receiver" in some embodiments. The broadcast receiver component allows the system to deliver events to applications, enabling applications to respond to broadcast notifications within the system. Because the broadcast receiver is another well-defined application entity, the system can also deliver broadcasts to applications that are not currently running. For example, the system can send a broadcast, and when an application receives the broadcast, the application can issue a notification by using a notification manager (the notification manager in the application framework layer shown in FIG. 2) to notify the user of the upcoming event. It should be understood that a broadcast may be initiated by the system. For example, the system may send a broadcast notifying that the screen is turned off, the battery level is low, or that a photo has been taken. A broadcast may also be initiated by an application. For example, if a user intends to enter an interface for writing an email when receiving an SMS message, the user may send a broadcast event by using a message application. After receiving the broadcast, the email application's Broadcast Receiver triggers the creation of an Activity that writes the email. It should be understood that the Broadcast Receiver does not appear on the user interface, but may create a status bar notification and remind the user when a broadcast event occurs by using the notification manager.

[0102] A Content Provider may be referred to as a "content provider" in some embodiments. A content provider can store and retrieve data across multiple applications and may be equivalent to a database. For application A that includes a Content Provider, another application can query or modify data in application A by using the content provider (assuming the Content Provider allows the other application to query or modify data in application A by using the Content Provider). For example, a contacts application includes a Content Provider that manages contact information. Thus, any application with appropriate permissions can query, read, and write information related to contacts.

[0103] It should be understood that starting an Activity or an interaction between Activities is implemented by using messages. For example, starting an Activity or another Activity within an Activity may be triggered by sending an Intent message.

[0104] It should be further understood that in the Android system, an application is similar to a container and may contain multiple Activities, multiple Services, or multiple Broadcast Receivers. Activities, Services, and Broadcast Receivers are independent of each other. Interactions between Activities, Services, and Broadcast Receivers can be triggered by Intent messages.

[0105] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0106] As shown in FIG. 2, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a resource manager, a notification manager, an activity manager, an input manager, and the like.

[0107] The window manager provides a Window Manager Service (WMS), which can be used for window management, window animation management, surface management, and as a relay point for the input system.

[0108] Content providers are configured to: store and retrieve data and make the data accessible by applications. Data may include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, address books, etc.

[0109] The view system includes visualization controls, such as controls for displaying text and controls for displaying images. The view system may be configured to build applications. A display interface may include one or more views. For example, a display interface that includes a message notification icon may include a text display view and an image display view.

[0110] In this embodiment of the present application, a widget displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100 may include one or more views, and a widget may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying photos, for example, a music widget includes a view for displaying lyrics and a view for displaying a photo of the singer.

[0111] The resource manager provides various resources for an application, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, and video files.

[0112] The notification manager may be configured to allow applications to display notification information in the status bar and to communicate notification messages. The notification manager may automatically disappear after a short pause without user interaction. For example, the notification manager may be configured to notify of download completion, provide message notifications, etc. The notification manager may alternatively be a notification that appears in the system's top status bar in the form of a graph or scrollbar text, e.g., a notification of an application running in the background, or a notification that appears on the display in the form of a dialog window. For example, text information may be displayed in the status bar, an alert sound may be played, the electronic device may vibrate, or an indicator light may flash.

[0113] The Activity Manager can provide an Activity Manager Service (AMS), which can be used to launch, switch, and schedule system components (e.g., activities, services, content providers, broadcast receivers), and manage and schedule application processes.

[0114] The Input Manager can provide an Input Manager Service (IMS), which can be used for system input management, such as touchscreen input, key input, and sensor input. The IMS receives events from input device nodes and distributes the events to appropriate windows through interaction with the WMS.

[0115] The Android runtime includes core libraries and the Android runtime. The Android runtime is responsible for converting source code into machine code. The Android runtime mainly includes ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation technology and just-in-time (JIT) compilation technology.

[0116] The core library is mainly used to provide the functions of basic Java libraries, such as basic data structure library, math library, I / O library, tool library, database, and network library. The core library provides APIs for users to develop Android applications.

[0117] The native C / C++ library may include multiple functional modules, such as a surface manager, a Media Framework, libc, OpenGL ES, SQLite, and Webkit.

[0118] The surface manager is configured to manage the display subsystem and provide a blend of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The media framework supports playback and recording of multiple commonly used formats of audio and video, as well as still image files. The media library may support multiple audio and video coding formats, such as MPEG-4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG. OpenGL ES provides 2D and 3D graphics drawing and manipulation for applications. SQLite provides a lightweight relational database for applications on the electronic device 100.

[0119] The hardware abstraction layer runs in user space, encapsulates the drivers of the kernel layer, and provides a calling interface for the upper layers.

[0120] The kernel layer is a layer between the hardware and the software, and includes at least a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver, a Bluetooth driver, and a sensor driver.

[0121] The following describes an example of the operating process of the software and hardware of the electronic device 100 with reference to a capture shooting scenario.

[0122] When the touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is sent to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into an original input event (including information such as the touch coordinates and timestamp of the touch operation). The original input event is stored in the kernel layer. The application framework layer obtains the original input event from the kernel layer and identifies a control corresponding to the input event. For example, the touch operation is a single-tap touch operation, and the control corresponding to the single-tap operation is a control of a camera application icon. The camera application calls an interface in the application framework layer to open the camera application, then enables the camera driver by calling the kernel layer, and captures still images or videos by using the camera module 193.

[0123] Before describing the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, the nouns in the embodiments of the present application will be described first.

[0124] The following uses Android as an example to explain the concept of foreground and background applications.

[0125] Foreground application: The application's interface is visible to the current user and can be interacted with by the user.

[0126] Background application: The application does not have any interface with which the user can interact.

[0127] The user opens a music application, and electronic device 100 presents the interface of the music application. In this case, the music application belongs to the foreground application, but in this case, the music application does not have an ongoing task. If the user plays audio, plays video, downloads audio, or downloads video on the music application interface, the music application has an ongoing task in the foreground (e.g., in a specific implementation of the Android system, the music application invokes or creates an activity). If the user stops audio playback, stops video playback, or stops a download task on the music application interface, electronic device 100 considers the music application to have no ongoing task.

[0128] If a user switches from a music application interface to another graphical user interface of electronic device 100 and the music application is still playing audio, downloading audio, or downloading video, electronic device 100 considers the music application to have an ongoing task in the background (e.g., in certain implementations of the Android system, music invokes or creates a background task).

[0129] If a user switches from a music application interface to another graphical user interface of electronic device 100 and the music application is still playing audio, downloading audio, or downloading video, but electronic device 100 displays a notification card for the music application, electronic device 100 considers the music application to have an ongoing task in the foreground (e.g., in certain implementations of the Android system, music invokes or creates a foreground task).

[0130] When the device detects a predefined gesture action of the user, the device switches from the interface of the music application to another graphical user interface of the electronic device, and the music application does not play audio in the background or has no download tasks, the music application does not have any tasks that run continuously in the background.

[0131] For a media application, an "ongoing task" may be an "ongoing task of a foreground application" or an "ongoing task of a background application" of the electronic device.

[0132] It should be understood that an "ongoing task of a foreground application" in this specification means that the foreground application has visible activity. For example, if a user opens a music application and is playing audio, playing video, downloading audio, or downloading video in the music application interface, and the screen of the electronic device is currently displaying the music application interface, the music application has an ongoing task in the foreground. It should be understood that an "ongoing task in the background" in this specification is a task that is currently running continuously in the background (e.g., this may be a Service component of a media application, which runs continuously in the background). For example, if a user switches from the interface of the music application to another graphical user interface of electronic device 100, and the music application is playing audio, downloading audio, or downloading video in the background, the music application has an ongoing task in the background. When a user stops audio playback, stops video playback, or stops a download task on the interface of a music application, and the device detects a predefined gesture action of the user, and the device switches from the interface of the music application to another graphical user interface of the electronic device, and the music application does not play audio in the background or has no download task, the music application does not have any tasks that run continuously in the background.

[0133] In some embodiments, a "task in progress" may be a task that a user has not completed. For example, a user processes a slide task on electronic device 100. In this case, if the user leaves and does not close the application associated with the slide, the slide task that has not been completed by the user is a "task in progress."

[0134] In some embodiments, the "ongoing task" may alternatively be a schedule, where the schedule includes time information and / or geographic location information. For example, if a user adds a schedule "Go shopping, time: September 1, 2020, and location: Beijing Shopping Mall" to a calendar application, the schedule added by the user may be an "ongoing task." In some other embodiments, electronic device 100 detects that a travel task exists in a schedule application (e.g., calendar, notes, reminders, email, and messages) on electronic device 100, and electronic device 100 detects that the geographic location of electronic device 100 is close to the departure station or the system time of electronic device 100 is close to the departure time. In this case, electronic device 100 determines the travel task as an "ongoing task."

[0135] Widget: In embodiments of the present application, a widget may be a micro-application view that is embedded in another application (e.g., a home screen, a messaging application, or an email application) and receives periodic updates. For example, a widget may be an application widget that is displayed on the home screen. In some embodiments, a widget may alternatively be a card that is displayed on the left-most screen. In some embodiments, a widget may be a notification card in a lock screen interface.

[0136] An application widget on a home screen is used as an example. A user can customize the home screen by using the application widget. In addition, a user can enter the application associated with the application widget by tapping the application widget, and the user can move or adjust the size of the widget.

[0137] Application widgets may include message widgets, control widgets, and hybrid widgets.

[0138] A message widget may periodically update the displayed message to provide different content to the user. For example, a weather widget may update weather information over time. For example, a schedule widget in an embodiment of the present application may provide messages to the user, and as the scenario (e.g., the system time or geographic location of the electronic device) changes, the schedule widget may display more messages.

[0139] A control widget may provide a control for a user to operate to implement control of an application associated with the widget. For example, a music widget described in an embodiment of the present application may include a play / pause control, and a user may tap the control to play / pause the music.

[0140] A hybrid widget may have the functionality of both a message widget and a control widget, for example, a music widget in an embodiment of the present application may include controls and dynamically displayed lyrics.

[0141] It should be understood that the widgets in the embodiments of the present application may be further referred to as small components, small tools, or cards. The specific names of the widgets are not limited in the present application.

[0142] 3A-3M-1 and 3M-2 show a set of example graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in which electronic device 100 detects that an ongoing task exists in a media application (e.g., a music application or a video application) on electronic device 100 and displays a media widget on the home screen.

In some embodiments, the application widget 304-0 may include at least one location and time information and weather information corresponding to the location. For example, the application widget 304-0 may include time information for Beijing, weather information for Beijing, time information for London, and weather information for London. In some embodiments, the application widget 304-0 may include two application widgets (e.g., a music widget and a time and weather widget displayed simultaneously). It should be understood that the size (including width and height) of the application widget 304-0 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the size of the application widget 304-0 may be small. It should be understood that "small size" in this embodiment of the present application may mean that the width of the widget does not reach the maximum width of a widget that can be displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100. In some embodiments, application widget 304-0 may be a time weather widget or a calendar widget. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the time weather widget may alternatively be referred to as a weather application widget.

For example, the system status bar 302 may further display a Bluetooth indicator, an alarm clock indicator, etc. It should be understood that the placement location of the content displayed in the system status bar 302 is not limited in this embodiment. For example, in some embodiments, the location of the time indicator may be in the center.

[0148] It should be understood that the display location and number of elements included in the graphical user interface 3000 are not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0149] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the graphical user interface 3000 may further include more elements.

[0150] In some embodiments, GUI 3000 may further include a lock screen wallpaper (not shown). In some embodiments, the lock screen wallpaper displayed in GUI 3000 may be different each time the screen is turned on (e.g., the home button is activated).

[0151] 3B illustrates an example graphical user interface 3001-2 displayed on the display 194 of the electronic device 100. The example graphical user interface 3001-2 may be referred to as a home screen, and it should be understood that the name of the graphical user interface 3001-2 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the graphical user interface 3001-2 may be a home screen homepage (home screen). Upon detecting a predefined gesture on another page on the home screen (e.g., sliding up from the bottom of the screen), the electronic device may quickly switch to the home screen homepage. In this embodiment of the present application, it should be understood that the name "home screen homepage" is used as an example for explanation purposes and does not indicate a specific limitation on the name of the example graphical user interface 3001-2. In some embodiments, the example graphical user interface 3001-2 may include one or a combination of several of the following elements:

[0152] Status bar 302: The description of the status bar 302 refers to the description of the status bar in Fig. 3A. Details will not be described in this specification.

[0153] Dock bar (favorites tray) 308: The dock bar 308 may contain application icons such as camera, contacts, phone, and messages. In some embodiments, a user may manually change the application icons displayed in the dock bar 308.

[0154] Homescreen page mark 310: The homescreen page mark 310 indicates the number of pages included in the homescreen and is used to identify the current page. For example, in GUI 3001-2 shown in FIG. 3B, the homescreen page mark 310 indicates that electronic device 100 includes at least two homescreen pages. In some embodiments, the leftmost screen may also be referred to as a homescreen page. After detecting a page switch command, the electronic device may switch between different homescreen pages (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 3C-1 and 3C-2, electronic device 100 detects input left slide predefined gesture 3091, and electronic device 100 switches from the homescreen home page to homescreen page GUI 3001-1 for display). In some embodiments, a user may adjust the display order of the homescreen home page and another homescreen page (e.g., adjust the display order of GUI 3001-2 and GUI 3001-1).

[0155] Application Icon 306: The application icon 306 may include at least one application icon.

In some embodiments, the application icons displayed by the application icon 306 may be different. For example, the number of application icons may increase or decrease, and the types of icons may also be different.

[0156] Application Widget 304-1: For a description of application widget 304-1, please refer to the description of application widget 304-0 in the embodiment in FIG. 3A. Details will not be described herein. Note that application widget 304-1 may also be any widget manually added to the home screen of electronic device 100 by a user. For example, in some embodiments, the first application widget 304-1 may be a time-weather widget or a calendar widget.

[0157] It should be understood that in some embodiments, there may be different terms or names for the status bar 302, widget 304-1, application icon 306, dock bar (favorites tray) 308, and home screen page mark 310. In some embodiments, application icon 306 may be referred to as an application shortcut, etc. The terminology in this embodiment is merely an example.

[0158] It should be further understood that the display positions of elements in the graphical user interface 3001-2 are examples and that other arrangements may be used in some other embodiments. It should be further understood that more types of elements may be present in the graphical user interface 3001-2.

[0159] According to the present invention, the widget 304-1 in that location exists since the delivery and activation of the electronic device 100, and the user does not delete the widget. However, the widget occupies a large area of ​​the screen and wastes screen space. Therefore, according to the technical solution provided in this application, another widget can be intelligently displayed by using the widget's area to provide more useful information for the user and improve the utilization rate of the home screen.

[0160] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays application widget 304-1 on the home screen. It should be understood that application widget 304-1 may be a time / weather widget, a calendar widget, or another application widget. Electronic device 100 may detect an ongoing task within a media application (e.g., a music application or a video application) on electronic device 100 and display a media widget on the home screen. In some embodiments, the media widget may be displayed on the home screen in the same area where application widget 304-1 is displayed. In some embodiments, the same area may be an area on the home screen of the home screen.

[0161] The following uses a music application as an example to outline the media widget creation process.

[0162] The application widget 304-1 displayed on the home screen is a time weather widget 304-1 (as shown in FIG. 3B). It should be understood that in some embodiments, the application widget 304-1 may alternatively be a widget as described in the embodiments of FIGS. 4A-4E-1-4E-3, a schedule widget as described in the embodiments of FIGS. 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2, or an instant messaging application widget as described in the embodiments of FIGS. 6A-1 and 6A-2-6G.

[0163] It should be understood that the music application in this embodiment of the present application may alternatively be replaced by another media application (e.g., HUAWEI Video, Tencent Video, YOUTUBE®, Sportify, iTunes®, Himalaya FM, NetEase Cloud Music, and QQ Music). It should be understood that the media application includes an application whose main function is to play video and / or whose main function is to play audio. The specific name of the media application is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0164] After electronic device 100 detects an instruction to activate the music application, electronic device 100 responds to the instruction, and the music application is activated. For example, after electronic device 100 detects a gesture of tapping a music application icon button 3064 on GUI 3001-2 displayed on the home screen in FIGS. 3D-1 and 3D-2 with a user's finger (not drawn to scale in the figures), electronic device 100 responds to the gesture, and music application interface 3002 is displayed on the display of electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the location of music application icon button 3064 may be in a folder (not shown) on the home screen page. In some embodiments, the manner in which the music application is activated by the user may alternatively be a stylus tap, voice control, floating control, etc. In GUI 3002, the music application interface may include the name of the song "TV" 312-2, a photo of the singer 312-1, the singer "Tom Lee" 312-3, some lyrics 312-4, controls 312-5, etc. In some embodiments, the content displayed on music application interface 3002 may further include, but is not limited to, the lyricist, album name, arranger, etc.

[0165] After detecting that the music playback control has been activated (e.g., the user taps the music playback control as shown in FIGS. 3E-1 and 3E-2), the electronic device 100 displays an interface in which music is being played.

[0166] When there is a song playing in the music application, after the electronic device 100 detects an input predefined gesture (e.g., making an upward sliding gesture at the bottom of the screen), the electronic device 100 may switch from the displayed music application interface GUI 3002 to the home screen. It should be understood that the function of the action "making an upward sliding gesture at the bottom of the screen" allows the electronic device 100 to switch to the home screen of the electronic device 100. It should be noted that the gesture action that allows the electronic device to return to the home screen of the electronic device is not limited to sliding up from the bottom of the screen. The gesture action may be the user tapping a home button (not shown) or the user tapping a return button (not shown). This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0167] Optionally, after electronic device 100 switches from the displayed music application interface GUI 3002 to the home screen, the home screen may simultaneously display music widget 314-2 and widget 304-2 (reduced-size application widget 304-1).

[0168] For example, the home screen may display a graphical user interface 3003-2 as shown in FIGS. 3FA-1 and 3FA-2. The graphical user interface 3003-2 may include a music widget 314-2 and a timed weather widget 304-2. The electronic device 100 displays the music widget 314-2 and the timed weather widget 304-2 on the home screen in the area where the timed weather widget 304-1 is displayed. Optionally, the music widget 314-2 and the timed weather widget 304-2 have the same size. In some embodiments, the sizes of the music widget 314-2 and the timed weather widget 304-2 may be different. In some embodiments, the timed weather widget 304-2 may display less content than the timed weather widget 304-1. In some embodiments, the content displayed by the music widget 314-2 may include the widget name "Music," the song name "TV," the singer "Tom Lee," and operational controls. In some embodiments, the content displayed by the music widget 314-2 may further include lyrics, album names, etc. It should be understood that the location layout of the content displayed by the music widget 314-2 is an example.

[0169] When detecting that a media application has an ongoing task, electronic device 100 can automatically display the application's widget in the area on the home screen of electronic device 100 where widget 304-1 is displayed. This implements automatic widget addition, and the location of widget 304-1 can also be reused. Screen space on electronic devices is limited. Reusing the location of another widget can make the home screen clean and uncluttered, and widgets do not need to be added in new locations, providing more information to the user.

[0170] It should be understood that the order in which widgets are sorted in the graphical user interface 3003-2 is an example. In some embodiments, the music widget 314-2 is displayed to the left of the hourly weather widget 304-2 as a higher priority widget. In some embodiments, the electronic device may arrange the higher priority widgets to the right. In some embodiments, the music widget 314-2 and hourly weather widget 304-2 may be arranged one above the other (not shown).

[0171] Optionally, electronic device 100 detects that there is an ongoing task in the music application, and electronic device 100 displays only music widget 314-2 on the home screen in the area where time-weather widget 304-1 is displayed, as shown in FIGS. 3FB-1 and 3FB-2. Music widget 314-2 may have a smaller size than time-weather widget 304-1. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may display another widget (e.g., a common service widget, which may include a scan control, a ride code control, or a payment code control, and a user may quickly enter the application interface by tapping the scan control, the ride code control, or the payment code control) while displaying music widget 314-2 on the home screen, as shown in FIGS. 3FD-1 and 3FD-2. It should be understood that the location layout of the content displayed by music widget 314-2 is an example.

[0172] Optionally, electronic device 100 detects that there is a task in progress in the music application, and electronic device 100 replaces the music widget 314-1 displayed on graphical user interface 3003 in the same area where the time-weather widget 304-1 is displayed. The music widget 314-1 has the same size as the time-weather widget 304-1. For example, electronic device 100 displays the GUI shown in FIGS. 3FC-1 and 3FC-2. The content displayed by the music widget 314-1 may include the widget name "Music," the song name "TV," the singer "Tom Lee," and action controls. In some embodiments, the content displayed by the music widget 314-1 may further include content such as lyrics and album name. In some embodiments, the music widget 314-1 may display more or the same content as the music widget 314-2 in FIGS. 3FA-1 and 3FA-2 or 3FB-1 and 3FB-2. It should be understood that the location layout of the content displayed by music widget 314-2 is an example.

[0173] When detecting that a media application has an ongoing task, the electronic device 100 can automatically display a media widget on the device's home screen and display the widget in the area of ​​the graphical interface where the time-weather widget is displayed. This implements automatic widget addition, and the location of the time-weather widget can also be reused. There are many places where time is displayed and viewed on an electronic device, and although the device displays a weather-time widget on the home screen, users do not use the weather-time widget in most cases. Therefore, by using the technical solution in this embodiment, the location of the weather-time widget can be reused to display the widget of an application that includes an ongoing task. The screen space of an electronic device is limited. The location of the time-weather widget is reused, which can make the home screen clean and uncluttered, and widgets do not need to be added in new locations, providing users with information requested by the user and having higher priority.

[0174] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture and change the order of widgets displayed on the home screen. It should be understood that widgets may include all widgets described in the embodiments of the present application. For example, widgets may include the cross-device widget described in the embodiments of FIGS. 4A-4F-1 and 4F-2, the schedule widget described in the embodiments of FIGS. 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2, and the instant messaging application widget described in the embodiments of FIGS. 6A-1 and 6A-2 to 6G. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3G-1 to 3G-3, electronic device 100 adjusts the display order of the time weather widget and the music widget after detecting a gesture action performed by a user's finger to press the music widget and drag the music widget to the right. In some embodiments, the order is related to priority. Changing the arrangement order of widgets means changing the priority of the widgets.

[0175] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture and adjust the size of a widget displayed on the home screen and / or the size of content displayed by the widget. It should be understood that widgets may include all widgets described in the embodiments of the present application. For example, widgets may include the cross-device widget described in the embodiments of FIGS. 4A-4F-1 and 4F-2, the schedule widget described in the embodiments of FIGS. 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2, and the instant messaging application widget described in the embodiments of FIGS. 6A-1 and 6A-2 to 6G. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture and change the layout of content displayed by the widget.

[0176] For example, as shown in FIGS. 3HA-1 and 3HA-2, electronic device 100 detects that a user's finger touches and holds the edge of music widget 314-2, causing music widget 314-2 to enter an editable state. After electronic device 100 detects a gesture action performed by the user of touching and holding the right edge of the widget and dragging the widget to the right, electronic device 100 switches to displaying graphical user interface 3003-1. Compared to music widget 314-2 in graphical user interface 3003-2, graphical user interface 3003-1 does not display widget 3003-2 and displays only the music widget. Additionally, the displayed music widget 314-1 is enlarged in size. In some embodiments, the width of music widget 314-1 displayed on graphical user interface 3003-1 is the maximum width of a widget that can be displayed on the home screen by electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the enlarged widget may display more content. For example, compared to music widget 314-2, the content displayed by increased-size widget 314-1 may further include portions of song lyrics. In some embodiments, the layout of the content (including, but not limited to, widget name, song name, singer, and action controls) displayed by music widget 314-1 may be different compared to music widget 314-2. It should be understood that after detecting an input predefined gesture (e.g., a gesture action of touching and holding the right edge of the widget and dragging the widget to the left), electronic device 100 may reduce the size of the widget. For example, in FIGS. 3HA-1 and 3HA-2, after detecting an input predefined gesture (e.g., a gesture action of touching and holding the right edge of widget 314-1 and dragging the widget to the left), electronic device 100 reduces the size of widget 314-1, and, for example, reduced-size widget 314-1 may appear like widget 314-2.

[0177] After detecting the user's predefined gesture, the electronic device 100 adjusts the size of the widgets displayed on the home screen, thereby efficiently using the limited space on the screen and allowing the user to view and interact with different widgets, improving interaction efficiency.

[0178] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may further detect a scenario change and adjust the size of a media widget displayed on the home screen and / or the content displayed by the media widget, and / or the layout of the content displayed by the media widget.

[0179] In some embodiments, a media widget may have a time tag and / or a geographic location tag. The time tag and / or the geographic location tag may be added manually by a user or may be generated by electronic device 100 based on the user's usage habits for the media application. For example, if a user often listens to music before going to bed at 10:00 p.m., electronic device 100 collects statistics on the time and frequency of use of the music application by the user to add a time tag to the music application. The time tag is 10:00 p.m. For example, if a user often listens to music at home, electronic device 100 collects statistics on the geographic location and frequency of use of the music application by the user to add a geographic location tag to the music application. The geographic location tag is home.

[0180] If electronic device 100 detects that the difference between the electronic device's system time and the time tag "22:00" is less than a preset time threshold, and / or if electronic device 100 detects that the distance difference between the device's geographic location and the geographic location tag "home" is less than a preset distance threshold, electronic device 100 adjusts the size of the music widget on the home screen and / or the content displayed by the music widget. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may increase the size of the music widget. In some embodiments, the content displayed by the increased-sized music widget may increase. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3HB-1 and 3HB-2, electronic device 100 displays music widget 314-2 on the home screen, and electronic device 100 detects a change in the time and / or geographic location and switches to displaying GUI 3003-1. In comparison to widget 314-2 displayed on GUI 3003-2, content added for display on music widget 314-1 displayed on GUI 3003-1 may include the phrase "I love watching TV," action controls (e.g., shuffle or favorite buttons), etc.

[0181] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may further detect ambient light intensity by using an ambient light sensor to determine a scenario change, so as to automatically adjust the size of a media widget and / or the content displayed by the media widget and / or the layout of the content displayed by the media widget. For example, if a user moves from a brightly lit location into a dimly lit environment, the user may not be able to see the text presented by the widget if the widget is still a small-sized widget. Therefore, to meet user requirements, the size of the widget may automatically adjust for a large-sized display, and the displayed font may be enlarged. Optionally, the displayed controls may also be enlarged. Electronic device 100 may detect a scenario change, so as to adjust the size of a media widget and / or the content displayed by the media widget and / or the layout of the content displayed by the media widget to provide more information to the user, facilitate user interaction, and improve the user experience.

[0182] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 detects a scenario change (e.g., electronic device 100 detects that the user determines that the scenario has changed by detecting that the time difference between electronic device 100's system time and the scenario time is greater than a preset time threshold and / or that the distance difference between electronic device 100's geographic location and the scenario geographic location is greater than a preset distance threshold to determine that the scenario has changed) and may adjust the size of the media widget and / or the content displayed by the media widget and / or the layout of the content displayed by the media widget. After again detecting the change in the user's scenario, electronic device 100 may restore the media widget to its display format before the status adjustment. The status adjustment includes adjusting the size of the media widget and / or the content displayed by the media widget and / or the layout of the content displayed by the media widget.

[0183] In some embodiments, music widget 314-1 is displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100, the width of music widget 314-1 is approximately equal to the width of the screen, and lyrics of the song being played are displayed on music widget 314-1. When electronic device 100 switches to displaying another page on the home screen or enters another application interface, electronic device 100 displays music widget 314-1 in a floating widget state, as shown in Figures 3J-1 and 3J-2, where the widget is in a transparent state and displays only the lyrics. Optionally, after electronic device 100 detects a predefined gesture (e.g., a single tap) on the widget, the widget is displayed in a semi-transparent state, and the widget displays operation controls.

[0184] In some embodiments, after electronic device 100 detects a predefined gesture input by a user (e.g., activating a pause control on a widget, sliding a widget, or activating a delete control on a widget), electronic device 100 stops displaying the media widget on the home screen and displays application widget 304-1.

[0185] 3K-1 and 3K-2, music widget 314-1 is displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100. After electronic device 100 detects that a user taps the pause button on the music widget, electronic device 100 switches to displaying GUI 3002-1, and electronic device 100 stops displaying the music widget. The widget displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100 is time weather widget 304-1.

[0186] The electronic device 100 detects that the user has performed a predefined action on the media widget (e.g., tapping the pause control, tapping the delete control, or a slide gesture), and the electronic device 100 stops displaying the media widget on the home screen and displays another widget in the limited screen space to facilitate interaction between the user and the other widget.

[0187] In some embodiments, at least two application widgets are displayed on the home screen of the electronic device 100. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3L-1 and 3L-2, the GUI 5001 includes a first application widget and a second application widget. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the first application widget may alternatively be one of the following widgets: a time / weather widget, a slide widget, an instant messaging application widget, or a schedule widget.

The content of the first application widget may be cited for the description of the second application widget. Details will not be described herein.

[0188] Optionally, electronic device 100 may detect that there is an ongoing task in a media application (e.g., a music application or a video application) on electronic device 100 and display the media widget and the first application widget on the home screen. For example, electronic device 100 may display a widget with a higher priority on the left. The newly created media widget has the highest priority, and the media widget is positioned at the left edge. The second application widget is no longer displayed due to its lowest priority, as shown in FIGS. 3L-1 and 3L-2.

[0189] 3M-1 and 3M-2, a schedule widget 502-2 and a time and weather widget 304-2 are displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100. Electronic device 100 detects that there is an ongoing task in the music application and displays a music widget 314-2 and a schedule widget 502-2 on the home screen, with the music widget 314-2 positioned to the left of the schedule widget 502-2.

[0190] Optionally, electronic device 100 may detect that there is an ongoing task in a media application (e.g., a music application or a video application) on electronic device 100 and display a media widget and a second application widget on the home screen.

[0191] The above-described embodiments describe technical solutions for displaying widgets on the home screen. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may further display widgets on the lock screen interface by using the technical solutions described in the above-described embodiments. It should be understood that the widgets include all widgets described in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the widgets may include the cross-device widgets described in the embodiments of FIGS. 4A-4F-1 and 4F-2, the schedule widgets described in the embodiments of FIGS. 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2, and the instant messaging application widgets described in the embodiments of FIGS. 6A-1 and 6A-2 to 6G.

[0192] 3I-1 and 3I-2, electronic device 100 may display GUI 3003-1, and after detecting a screen lock command input by a user, electronic device 100 may switch to displaying lock screen interface GUI 3004. Lock screen interface GUI 3004 displays music widget 314-1 in the same area where time and weather widget 314-0 is displayed. After detecting a screen unlock command input by a user, electronic device 100 may switch to displaying lock screen interface GUI 3003-1. In some embodiments, if the widgets displayed on lock screen interface 3004 do not include time information, electronic device 100 may display time information in taskbar 302.

[0193] Widgets displayed on the lock screen interface allow the user to interact with the widgets without unlocking, thereby improving the user experience.

[0194] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect that there is an ongoing task in a media application (e.g., a music application or a video application) on electronic device 100 and display a media widget on the lock screen page. The display manner of the media widget on the home screen may be cited for the display manner of the media widget and the mode and beneficial effect in which the media widget interacts with the user on the lock screen page (e.g., after the user taps the pause control, the display of the music widget stops and the display of the time weather widget is switched on). Details will not be described herein.

[0195] 4A-4F-1 and 4F-2 show a group of example graphical user interfaces for creating application widgets across devices.

[0196] With a task in progress in an application on another electronic device, the user "walks away" from the other electronic device and the electronic device 100 displays an application widget associated with the application.

[0197] It should be understood that the applications on the other electronic device may include office applications, which may include word processing applications (e.g., Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Powerpoint, Microsoft Office Excel, and PDF Reader), image processing applications, online conferencing applications, browser applications, and email applications.

[0198] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays application widget 304-1 on the home screen.

[0199] It should be understood that application widget 304-1 may alternatively be a media widget as described in the embodiments of Figures 3A-3M-1 and 3M-2, a schedule widget as described in the embodiments of Figures 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2, or an instant messaging application widget as described in the embodiments of Figures 6A-1 and 6A-2 to 6G.

[0200] Electronic device 100 may receive a "task in progress" that exists in an application on another electronic device and display an application widget for the application on the home screen. In some embodiments, the application widget for the application may be displayed on the home screen in the same area where application widget 304-1 is displayed. In some embodiments, the same area may be on the home page of the home screen.

[0201] For purposes of explanation, the following uses an example in which the electronic device 102 is used as another electronic device and there is an ongoing task in a slide application on the electronic device 102 .

[0202] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the electronic device 102 may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, an in-vehicle device, an augmented reality (AR) device / virtual reality (VR) device, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, or a personal digital assistant (PDA).

[0203] In some embodiments, upon detecting that there is an ongoing task in the slides application and detecting that the user has "left" electronic device 102, electronic device 102 may upload the "ongoing task" to cloud server device 180, as shown in Figures 4BA-1 and 4BA-2. Electronic device 102 may upload the ongoing task to cloud server device 180 by using a cellular network or a wireless local area network (WLAN).

[0204] The manner in which the electronic device 102 detects and determines that the user has “left” the electronic device 102 may be that a sensor of the electronic device 102 detects that the user has left the electronic device 102, or that the electronic device 102 detects that the user has not operated the electronic device 102 for a period of time greater than a preset time value, etc. In some embodiments, the electronic device 102 detects and determines that the user has left the device 102 may alternatively be that the user minimizes a window of an application displayed by the electronic device 102. As shown in FIG. 4A , after the user taps the minimize button 402 in the GUI 4001, the user returns to the home screen of the electronic device 102, and the electronic device 102 also determines that the user has “left” the electronic device 102. In some embodiments, the electronic device 102 may further determine that the user has “left” the electronic device 102 when the screen of the electronic device 100 is locked. The specific determination manner is not limited in this embodiment.

[0205] In some embodiments, the electronic device 102 may alternatively upload a task to the cloud server by detecting a predefined input action of a user on the electronic device 102. For example, in FIGS. 4BB-1 and 4BB-2, a slide being edited by a user is displayed on the electronic device 102, and the ongoing task in the slide application is "Research Report." After the electronic device 102 detects that the user taps the PowerPoint icon on the slide application interface, the electronic device 102 displays a window. The window may include options such as "Push to electronic device 100," "Push to electronic device 103," "Push to electronic device 104," and "Close window." It should be understood that in some embodiments, the GUI 4001 may display a "Push to electronic device" control or icon, and after detecting that the control or icon is activated, the electronic device 102 may display options such as "Push to electronic device 100," "Push to electronic device 103," and "Push to electronic device 104." The electronic device 102 may detect that the user tapped the option "Push to electronic device 100," and the electronic device 102 may upload the slide task "Research Report" to the cloud server by using a cellular network or a wireless local area network (WLAN). For example, the newly processed task in the slide application is "Research Report," and the electronic device 102 may send the task "Research Report" to the cloud server device 180.

[0206] After electronic device 100 detects that the account logged on to electronic device 100 by the user and the account logged on to electronic device 102 are the same account, cloud server device 180 pushes the ongoing task to electronic device 100, and application widget 404-2 associated with the application is displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100, as shown in Figures 4BA-1 and 4BA-2.

[0207] In some embodiments, electronic device 102 displays the application interface of the application (e.g., an email application interface or a browser application interface). After electronic device 100 completes pairing with electronic device 102, electronic device 102 pushes ongoing tasks to electronic device 100 (e.g., pairing via Bluetooth or sending data via a Wi-Fi direct connection). The application widget is displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100, as shown in FIGS. 4BA-1 and 4BA-2.

[0208] In some embodiments, cloud server device 180 or electronic device 102 pushes the task to electronic device 100. The task file may be very large, and electronic device 100's current network connection is weak. Therefore, before receiving the ongoing task, electronic device 100 may ask the user whether they agree to receive the task. After detecting a predefined action input by the user (e.g., tapping the control "Yes"), electronic device 100 receives the ongoing task and displays an application widget associated with the ongoing task on the home screen.

[0209] The electronic device 100 displays an application widget 304-1 on the home screen, and the electronic device 100 receives an ongoing task from the server or the electronic device 102, and the electronic device 100 displays the application widget of the application on the home screen. The contents in Figures 3FA-1 and 3FA-2 to 3FC-1 and 3FC-2 may be cited for the method of displaying the widget. Details will not be described in this specification.

[0210] The electronic device 100 may receive "tasks in progress" within an application on another electronic device and display an application widget for the application on the home screen, allowing the user to interact with the application across different electronic devices, thereby improving the user experience.

[0211] 4A-4BB-1 and 4BB-2 is a time weather widget. It should be understood that widget 304-1 may alternatively be any widget described in the embodiments. For example, widget 304-1 may be a widget described in the embodiments of FIGS. 3A-3M-1 and 3M-2.

[0212] 4C-1 and 4C-2, the application widget 304-1 displayed on the home screen of the electronic device 100 is a music widget. The electronic device 100 receives an ongoing task from the server or the electronic device 102, and the electronic device 100 simultaneously displays the PPT application widget 404-2 and the reduced-size music widget 314-2.

[0213] In some embodiments, when the electronic device detects that a task exists in an office application and the task in the office application is not completed, the user may return to the home screen, and the electronic device may display an application widget for the application on the home screen. The contents in Figures 3FA-1 and 3FA-2 to 3FC-1 and 3FC-2 may be cited for methods of displaying widgets. Details will not be described herein. For example, when a user edits a document in a PPT (PowerPoint) application on electronic device 100, after the user taps the home button to return to the home screen, electronic device 100 displays the PPT application widget on the home screen.

[0214] The electronic device 100 may receive an ongoing task that exists in an application on another electronic device, display an application widget for the application on the home screen, and display the widget in an area on the home screen where the time weather widget is displayed. This implements automatic widget addition, and the location of the time weather widget can also be reused. The screen space of an electronic device is limited. The location of the time weather widget is reused, which allows the home page of the home screen to be clean and uncluttered, and widgets do not need to be added in new locations, and can provide the user with the information requested by the user.

[0215] In some embodiments, at least two application widgets are displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100. For example, a first application widget and a second application widget may be included. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the first application widget may alternatively be one of the following widgets: a time / weather widget, a music widget, an instant messaging application widget, or a schedule widget. The music widget may be obtained according to the technical solutions recorded in the embodiments of FIGS. 3A-3M-1 and 3M-2, the message widget may be obtained according to the technical solutions recorded in the embodiments of FIGS. 6A-1 and 6A-2 to 6G, and the schedule widget may be obtained according to the technical solutions recorded in FIGS. 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2. The content of the first application widget may be cited for the description of the second application widget. Details will not be described herein.

[0216] The electronic device 100 may receive an ongoing task that exists in an application on another electronic device and display an application widget of the application on the home screen. Optionally, the contents of the embodiments of Figures 3L-1 and 3L-2 to 3M-1 and 3M-2 may be cited for the manner in which the electronic device 100 displays the application widget of the application.

[0217] 4D-1 and 4D-2, a music widget 314-2 (which may be referred to as a first application widget) and a time / weather widget 304-2 (which may be referred to as a second application widget) are displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100. When electronic device 100 receives an ongoing task in a slides application on another electronic device, electronic device 100 displays slides widget 404-2 and music widget 314-2 (which may be referred to as a first application widget) on the home screen. In addition, slides widget 404-2 is positioned to the left of music widget 314-2.

[0218] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture (e.g., sliding left and right or sliding up and down) to display a different widget. For example, as shown in FIGS. 4E-1 through 4E-3, electronic device 100 displays slide widget 404-2 and music widget 314-2. Electronic device 100 detects that a user's finger slides left on a widget (e.g., slide widget 404-2) and switches to displaying GUI 4005. GUI 4005 displays a portion of slide widget 404-2, music widget 314-2, and a portion of hourly weather widget 304-2. Electronic device 100 detects that the user's finger continues to slide left on a widget (e.g., music widget 314-2) and switches to displaying GUI 3003-2. Electronic device 100 displays music widget 314-2 and hourly weather widget 304-2 on the home screen. It should be understood that the hourly weather widget 304-2 may be freshly pushed by the system or may always run in the background but not be displayed.

[0219] 4F-1 and 4F-2, electronic device 100 displays slide application widget 404-1. After electronic device 100 detects an input predefined gesture (e.g., a finger tapping on the slide widget), electronic device 100 switches to displaying an application interface GUI 4003 of the application associated with the application widget. In some embodiments, after electronic device 100 detects that the action area of ​​the input predefined gesture (e.g., a finger tapping on the slide widget) is different, the application interface GUI 4003 that electronic device 100 switches to displaying may be different.

[0220] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture and change the order of widgets displayed on the home screen. The contents in Figures 3G-1 to 3G-3 may be cited for the contents of changing the order of widgets displayed on the home screen. Details will not be described herein.

[0221] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 receives an ongoing task in an office application on another electronic device, and electronic device 100 displays an office application widget on the home screen. Electronic device 100 may further detect a scenario change to adjust the size of the office application widget and / or the content displayed by the office application widget and / or the layout of the content displayed by the office application widget, as shown in FIGS. 4G-1 and 4G-2.

[0222] For example, an office application widget may have a scenario time and / or a scenario geographic location. The scenario time and / or the scenario geographic location may be added manually by a user or may be generated by the electronic device 100 based on the user's usage habits for the office application. For example, if a user often processes unfinished office tasks at home and the time is 8:00 p.m., or if the user often turns on the electronic device at 5:00 p.m. to process unfinished office tasks during a subway commute after work, the electronic device may determine, after collecting statistics, that the scenario time of the slide widget is 8:00 p.m. and / or 5:00 p.m., and that the scenario geographic location of the application widget is home or a specific subway station.

[0223] If the electronic device 100 detects that the difference between the electronic device's system time and the scenario time is less than a preset time threshold, and / or if the electronic device 100 detects that the distance difference between the device's geographic location and the scenario geographic location is less than a preset distance threshold, the electronic device 100 adjusts the size of the office application widget on the home screen and / or the content of the office application widget and / or the layout of the content displayed by the office application widget.

[0224] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may further detect ambient light intensity by using an ambient light sensor to determine scenario changes so as to automatically adjust the size of an application widget and / or the content displayed by the application widget, and / or the layout of the content displayed by the application widget.

[0225] The electronic device 100 detects the scenario change to adjust the size of the office application widget and / or the content displayed by the office application widget and / or the layout of the content displayed by the office application widget, for which beneficial effects the related content in the embodiments of Figures 3A-3M-1 and 3M-2 may be cited.

[0226] 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2 show a group of example graphical user interfaces in which electronic device 100 generates a widget by identifying schedule content and detecting the presence of an ongoing task in the schedule of electronic device 100 based on the system time and / or geographic location of electronic device 100.

[0227] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays application widget 304-1 shown in FIG. 3A on the home screen.

[0228] It should be understood that application widget 304-1 may alternatively be a media widget as described in the embodiments of Figures 3A-3M-1 and 3M-2, an application widget as described in the embodiments of Figures 4A-4F-1 and 4F-2, or an instant messaging application widget as described in the embodiments of Figures 6A-1 and 6A-2 to 6G.

[0229] Electronic device 100 may generate a schedule widget for display on the home screen by identifying schedule content and detecting the presence of an ongoing task in the schedule of electronic device 100 based on the system time and / or geographic location of electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the schedule widget may be on a home screen page and displayed in the same area where application widget 304-1 is displayed. In some embodiments, the home screen page may be on the home page of the home screen.

[0230] It should be understood that schedule content may be added manually by a user, or electronic device 100 may automatically identify schedule content in a schedule application (e.g., an application such as messages, email, notes, or reminders) and add the schedule content to the user's schedule (e.g., a schedule in a calendar application).

[0231] For example, the electronic device 100 may automatically identify that content related to a ticket itinerary (including, but not limited to, departure station, arrival station, departure time, arrival time, passenger information, ticket gate, etc.) exists in the message application. It should be appreciated that the electronic device 100 may use an SMS message template to identify which SMS messages are itinerary-related SMS messages and add the ticket itinerary content to the schedule.

[0232] For example, the electronic device 100 may detect that express delivery content (including, but not limited to, express company information, the geographic location of the express delivery pickup locker, a pickup code, a pickup time, etc.) is present in the message application, and the electronic device 100 may add the express delivery content to the schedule.

[0233] 5A shows an example graphical user interface 5000 of a message application of electronic device 100. The SMS message content includes ticket travel information, where the SMS message content includes a departure date, a train number, a seat number, a departure station, and a departure time. It should be understood that the SMS message content may include more information, such as an arrival station, an arrival time, and a passenger name. In some embodiments, the SMS message content may alternatively be movie information (e.g., movie showing times and the cinema's geographic location) or shopping mall information (e.g., the mall's location and the time the user intends to go shopping).

[0234] The electronic device 100 may identify the schedule content to determine that a difference between the system time of the electronic device 100 and the time in the schedule content is less than a time threshold and / or a distance between the geographic location of the electronic device 100 and the geographic location in the schedule content is less than a distance threshold, so as to determine that an ongoing task exists in the schedule content.

[0235] For example, the electronic device 100 may detect current geographic location information of the electronic device 100 through one or more positioning methods, such as GPS positioning, Wi-Fi positioning, and cell tower positioning, and then calculate geographic location information of the departure location of the itinerary and the user's current geographic location. If the electronic device 100 detects that the distance between the user's current geographic location and the geographic location of the departure station in the travel schedule content is less than (or less than or equal to) a preset distance threshold value D1, the electronic device 100 determines that the ticket itinerary in the schedule application is an ongoing task and displays a schedule widget on the home screen homepage. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may further detect that the difference between the system time of the electronic device 100 and the departure time of the ticket itinerary in the schedule content is less than a preset time threshold value T1, and the electronic device 100 determines that the ticket itinerary in the schedule application is an ongoing task and displays a schedule widget associated with the schedule application on the home screen homepage.

[0236] For example, the electronic device 100 identifies a ticket itinerary in the schedule content, detects that the difference between the system time of the electronic device 100 and the departure time in the schedule content is less than or equal to a time threshold, and displays a schedule widget associated with the schedule content on the home screen.

[0237] 5BA-1 and 5BA-2, if electronic device 100 detects that ticket itinerary information exists in the schedule content of electronic device 100, electronic device 100 identifies the ticket itinerary information in the schedule (e.g., passengers, departure station, arrival station, departure time, and arrival time) and determines that the difference between electronic device 100's system time of 08:00 A.M. and the train's departure time of 08:26 A.M. is less than a time threshold and / or the distance between electronic device 100's current geographic location and the geographic location of the train's departure station, Beijing, in the schedule content is less than a distance threshold. In this case, it is determined that ticket itinerary in the schedule content is an ongoing task, and electronic device 100 displays schedule widget 502-2 and time and weather widget 304-2 on the home page of the home screen.

[0238] The related descriptions in Figures 3FA-1 and 3FA-2 to Figures 3FC-1 and 3FC-2 may be cited for the manner in which electronic device 100 displays application widget 304-1 on the home screen, identifies schedule content, and generates a schedule widget for display on the home screen by detecting the presence of an ongoing task in the schedule of electronic device 100 based on the system time and / or geographic location of electronic device 100.

[0239] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may display multiple schedule widgets simultaneously (e.g., multiple ticket itineraries simultaneously present in a schedule application). In some embodiments, multiple schedule widgets may be stacked for display.

[0240] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may switch from displaying widget 304-1 on the home screen to simultaneously displaying schedule widget 502-2 and common service widget 503-2, which may include controls such as a ride code, scan, or payment code, as shown in FIGS. 5BB-1 and 5BB-2. It should be understood that common service widget is merely an example name and does not imply any limitation on the name of the common service widget. A user does not need to board a subway or bus on the way to a station. Therefore, different widgets are intelligently pushed to users to meet their requirements in different scenarios.

[0241] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may display a music widget while displaying a schedule widget on the home screen. As shown in Figures 5BC-1 and 5BC-2, the music widget may be automatically pushed by electronic device 100 after collecting statistics on the frequency of music listening by users at stations. Alternatively, the music widget may be automatically pushed by electronic device 100 after a user associates the music widget with a schedule widget. In this case, it should be understood that the music widget is in a paused state, which is different from the music widget described in the embodiments of Figures 3A-3M-1 and 3M-2.

[0242] Since the user has a requirement to listen to music on the way to the train station, the music widget is displayed while the schedule widget is displayed. If the user intends to listen to music, the user may tap the control on the music widget to play music.

[0243] The electronic device 100 can display a schedule widget on the home screen while displaying another widget, thereby intelligently providing different information to the user based on the associated scenario, thereby improving the user experience.

[0244] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture (e.g., pinching, with two points of the pinch each touching a different widget), and electronic device 100 responds by combining the two widgets into a composite widget.

[0245] For example, as shown in GUI 5001 in FIGS. 5C-1 and 5C-2, electronic device 100 displays schedule widget 502-2 and music widget 314-2. When electronic device 100 detects a user's predefined gesture, electronic device 100 displays GUI 5003 shown in FIGS. 5C-1 and 5C-2, in response to which electronic device 100 displays composite widget 502-3. It should be understood that content displayed by composite widget 502-3 may include content displayed by schedule widget 502-2 and music widget 314-2. It should further be understood that composite widget 502-3 may display more or less content related to the schedule widget than schedule widget 502-2. It should further be understood that composite widget 502-3 may display more or less content related to the music widget than music widget 314-2.

[0246] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined command (e.g., a pinching gesture), and electronic device 100 may combine three or more widgets into a composite widget. The number of widgets used for combination is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0247] If the electronic device 100 detects that an application associated with any widget of the composite widget has an ongoing task, the electronic device may display the composite widget on the home page of the home screen.

[0248] For example, a user pinches a music widget and a schedule widget to a composite widget. If the electronic device detects that there is an ongoing task in the music application, the electronic device 100 displays the composite widget on the home screen home page. Alternatively, if the electronic device 100 detects that there is an ongoing task in the schedule, the electronic device 100 displays the composite widget on the home screen home page.

[0249] After a user combines two widgets into one composite widget, the composite widget will automatically appear the next time the user enters the same scenario, and the user does not need to manually switch two separate widgets on the display 194 for display, thereby improving the user experience (for example, ticket travel information is present in the user's schedule and the user intends to listen to music at the station, so the user combines the music widget and the schedule widget into a composite widget at the station; the next time the user enters the station scenario, the electronic device 100 will automatically display the composite widget, where the widget content includes the schedule widget content and the music widget content).

[0250] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture and adjust the size of a widget and / or the content displayed by the widget. The contents in Figures 3HA-1 and 3HA-2 may be cited for related descriptions of detecting an input predefined gesture and adjusting the size of a widget and the content displayed by the widget by electronic device 100. Details will not be described here again.

[0251] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays a schedule widget on the home screen. Electronic device 100 may detect a scenario change and adjust the schedule widget. For example, electronic device 100 may adjust the size of the schedule widget and / or adjust the content displayed by the schedule widget.

[0252] For example, if the electronic device 100 detects that the distance between the current geographic location of the electronic device 100 and the geographic location of the departure station in the schedule content is less than (or less than or equal to) a preset distance threshold value D2, where D2 is also less than D1, and / or if the electronic device 100 detects that the difference between the device's system time and the departure time in the schedule content is less than a preset time threshold value T2, where T2 is less than T1, the electronic device 100 adjusts the size of the schedule widget and / or adjusts the content displayed by the schedule widget.

[0253] For example, as shown in FIG. 5D, the user is 200 meters away from the train station, the user's electronic device displays a schedule widget 502-2 (e.g., schedule widget 502-2 in FIGS. 5BA-1 and 5BA-2), and the difference between the system time of the electronic device 100 and the departure time (e.g., 8:26 a.m. shown in schedule widget 502-2) is 11 minutes. When the electronic device 100 detects that the difference between the time of the electronic device 100 and the departure time is less than a preset value (e.g., the preset value may be set to a specific value less than or equal to 11 minutes), and / or the electronic device detects that the distance difference between the geographical location information of the electronic device 100 and the geographical location of the departure station is less than a preset value (e.g., the preset value may be set to a specific value less than or equal to 200 meters), the electronic device switches to displaying GUI 5001 on the home screen, as shown in FIGS. 5EA-1 and 5EA-2. The content displayed by the schedule widget 502-2 shown in GUI 5001 includes the schedule theme “Tickets,” the train number “High-Speed ​​Rail G80,” the departure station “Beijing Railway Station,” and the arrival station “Shanghai Railway Station,” and the electronic device 100 switches to GUI 5002. The widget displayed on GUI 5002 is the schedule widget 502-1. The size of schedule widget 502-1 may be larger than the size of widget 502-2, and the content displayed by schedule widget 502-1 may be increased compared to the content of widget 502-2. In some embodiments, the added information may include passenger names, seat number information, ticket gate information, etc. In some embodiments, the added content for display may further include a map thumbnail of the current location of electronic device 100.The map thumbnail may display services near the current location of the electronic device 100, which may include information such as dining, parking, luggage storage, and hotels, as shown in FIGS. 5EB-1 and 5EB-2.

[0254] For example, a schedule widget is displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100. The schedule widget includes express delivery information, which includes the name of the express delivery company, the location where the express delivery will be made (or the location of the express delivery pickup locker), and the express delivery pickup time. Before the user arrives at the express delivery pickup location, there is not much message content relevant to the user. Therefore, the schedule widget does not display much content related to the express delivery. When the user is about to arrive at the express delivery pickup location, the user needs to know the pickup code and obtain more information. If the user's electronic device 100 detects that the distance difference between the geographic location of electronic device 100 and the location of the express delivery pickup locker is less than the distance threshold, the electronic device 100 expands the schedule widget to display more content, and the newly added content may include the express delivery pickup code, etc.

[0255] In some embodiments, the composite widget is displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100, and the composite widget is obtained by combining schedule widgets, e.g., FIGS. 5EC-1 and 5EC-2. When electronic device 100 detects that the distance between the current geographic location of electronic device 100 and the geographic location of the departure station in the itinerary is less than (or less than or equal to) a preset distance threshold value D2, where D2 is less than D1, and / or when electronic device 100 detects that the difference between the system time of electronic device 100 and the departure time in the ticket itinerary is less than a preset time threshold value T2, where T2 is less than T1, electronic device 100 switches to displaying a schedule widget with adjusted size and / or content on the home screen.

[0256] In some embodiments, if electronic device 100 detects that the system time on the user's electronic device 100 has passed a specific point in the schedule content, electronic device 100 stops displaying the schedule widget.

[0257] For example, the departure time for a ticket travel task in a schedule is 8:26 a.m. If electronic device 100 detects that the system time of electronic device 100 is greater than or equal to the departure time, electronic device 100 stops displaying the schedule widget. In some embodiments, specific points in the schedule content further include movie showtimes, meeting end times, etc.

[0258] In some embodiments, at least two application widgets are displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100. The electronic device may generate the schedule widget for display on the home screen by identifying schedule content and detecting whether there are ongoing tasks in the schedule of the electronic device based on the system time and / or geographic location of the electronic device. The display manners of the media widgets in Figures 3L-1 and 3L-2 to 3M-1 and 3M-2 may be cited for the manner in which the schedule widget is displayed on the home screen.

[0259] In some embodiments, the electronic device may generate a schedule widget for display on the lock screen page by identifying schedule content and detecting whether there is an ongoing task in the schedule of the electronic device based on the system time and / or geographic location of the electronic device. The display manner of the schedule widget on the home screen may be cited for the display manner and beneficial effect of displaying the schedule widget on the lock screen page. The details will not be described here again.

[0260] In some embodiments, after the user's electronic device 100 is connected to the in-vehicle device (e.g., via Bluetooth), the in-vehicle device may display the schedule widgets shown in Figures 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2 (including the express delivery content schedule widget and the ticket travel task schedule widget) displayed on the electronic device 100.

[0261] 6A-1 and 6A-2 to 6G show a group of example graphical user interfaces in which the electronic device 100 may display an instant messaging application widget on the home screen after detecting a user's predefined gesture on the instant messaging application interface.

[0262] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays application widget 304-1 on a home screen page, and the associated content in FIGS. 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2 may be referenced for application widget 304-1.

[0263] It should be noted that application widget 304-1 may alternatively be a media widget as described in the embodiments of Figures 3A-3M-1 and 3M-2, a schedule widget as described in the embodiments of Figures 5A-5EC-1 and 5EC-2, or an application widget as described in the embodiments of Figures 4A-4F-1 and 4F-2.

[0264] Electronic device 100 may display an instant messaging application widget on a home screen page after detecting a user's predefined input gesture on the instant messaging application interface. The instant messaging application interface may include chat window pages (including chat windows with single contacts and group chat windows). In some embodiments, the instant messaging application widget may be on the home screen and displayed in the same area where application widget 304-1 is displayed. In some embodiments, the home screen may be on a home page of the home screen.

[0265] The following uses a messaging application as an example for general explanation.

[0266] It should be understood that the message application in this embodiment of the present application may alternatively be replaced by another instant messaging application (e.g., WeChat®, QQ, Meetime, WhatsApp, Messenger, Line, and iMessage).

[0267] 6A-1 and 6A-2, the GUI 3001-2 shown in FIG. 3B is displayed on the electronic device 100, and the time weather widget 304-1 is displayed on the home screen. In some embodiments, after the electronic device 100 detects the user's message application icon, the electronic device 100 displays the application interface GUI 6001 of the message application shown in FIGS. 6A-1 and 6A-2. It should be understood that content displayed on the GUI 6001 may include the status bar 302, a message display window 602, a message reply window 604, etc. It should further be understood that the message content 602 may include, but is not limited to, text, photos, videos, emojis, etc.

[0268] Optionally, after electronic device 100 detects an input predefined gesture on application interface 6001 (e.g., a user sliding inward on a corner of user interface 6001), electronic device 100 may respond by displaying a message application widget on the home screen homepage.

[0269] Optionally, after electronic device 100 detects a predefined gesture action performed by a user at a corner of the screen (e.g., sliding from the upper right corner to the lower left corner), electronic device 100 may respond by displaying a "Create a widget" control in the upper right corner of message window 602, as shown in FIGS. 6B-1 and 6B-2. After electronic device 100 detects that the "Create a widget" control has been activated on an application interface (e.g., the user taps the control once with a finger), electronic device 100 responds by displaying a message application widget on the home page of the home screen of electronic device 100. As shown in FIGS. 6CA-1 and 6CA-2, after electronic device 100 detects a predefined gesture input on application interface 6001, electronic device 100 responds by displaying message widget 608-1 on the home page of the home screen.

[0270] In some embodiments, message widget 608-1 may display a portion of the message content. In some embodiments, the content displayed by message widget 608-1 may include a newly updated message. In some embodiments, message widget 608-1 may display the update time 612 of the message. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6CA-1 and 6CA-2, the update time of the message displayed in message widget 608-1 is "today." It should be understood that the update time of the message displayed by message widget 608-1 may change dynamically and may be, for example, "now" or "1 day ago."

[0271] In some embodiments, if electronic device 100 detects a predefined gesture input on a message application widget (e.g., a finger sliding up and down on the widget), electronic device 100 may adjust the message content (not shown) displayed by the message application widget.

[0272] In some embodiments, message widget 608-1 may further include an up / down slide control, as shown in Figures 6CB-1 and 6CB-2. In some embodiments, message widget 608-1 displayed on the home page of the home screen of electronic device 100 may further include message reply window 604.

[0273] Optionally, if the message widget 608-1 further includes an up / down slide control, when the electronic device 100 detects that the up / down slide control 605 is being slid up, the message widget 608-1 may stop displaying the message reply window 604 and display more history messages in a limited space, as shown in FIGS. 6D-1 and 6D-2.

[0274] In some embodiments, when electronic device 100 detects a predefined gesture input on message widget 608-1 (e.g., tapping the message reply window once or dragging the bottom edge of the widget down), electronic device 100 may display soft keyboard 610, and the user may input content into message reply window 604 for sending, as shown in FIGS. 6EA-1 and 6EA-2. Optionally, while displaying soft keyboard 610, electronic device 100 may expand the size of the message application widget to display more content to the user, as shown in FIGS. 6EB-1 and 6EB-2. It should be understood that content input by the user in message reply window 604 includes, but is not limited to, voice, text, emoji, photos, videos, etc. Optionally, the sent message may further include a sealed message (content is hidden, not directly displayed, and not screenshotted or recorded).

[0275] Since the user can reply to the message directly on the message widget, the user does not need to access the "Messages" application interface by tapping the icon after finding the "Messages" application icon again, thereby allowing the user to receive and send messages more conveniently and quickly.

[0276] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may further refresh the content displayed by the message application widget after receiving the message.

[0277] Optionally, electronic device 100 may add a marking point (e.g., a red dot) to the end of the newly received message to remind the user. After detecting an input predefined gesture (e.g., a user tapping on a message application widget), electronic device 100 stops displaying the marking point.

[0278] Optionally, the method of reminding the user may alternatively be a method such as widget jitter.

[0279] Optionally, the manner of reminding the user may alternatively be as follows: electronic device 100 sets a message application widget to display with a particular transparency and highlights the newly received message above the message application widget, as shown in FIG. 6G. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may display a control (e.g., a "Reply" control) while highlighting the newly received message above the message application widget. electronic device 100 detects that the "Reply" control has been activated and displays a message reply interface, e.g., GUI 6006 in FIGS. 6EA-1 and 6EA-2 or GUI 6006 in FIGS. 6EB-1 and 6EB-2.

[0280] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may detect a user's predefined gestures (eg, touch and hold) on a message to copy, delete, forward, and reply to the message.

[0281] In some embodiments, the instant messaging application widget displayed by electronic device 100 includes a voice message. When playing the voice message, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture (e.g., a user dragging a progress bar) and adjust the playback progress.

[0282] In some embodiments, when electronic device 100 detects a predefined gesture input on message application widget 608-1 (e.g., sliding inward from the top right corner of message widget 608-1 or double-tapping the widget), electronic device 100 may display a control on the message widget (e.g., at least one of a full screen control, a delete control, a pin control, etc.).

[0283] Optionally, the electronic device 100 may display widget controls on the corners of the widget, as shown in FIGS. 6FA-1 and 6FA-2.

[0284] Optionally, after detecting a predefined gesture input on the message widget 608-1, the electronic device 100 may set the widget to display with a specific transparency and display widget controls on the widget, as shown in Figures 6FB-1 and 6FB-2. It should be understood that Figures 6FB-1 and 6FB-2 are merely illustrative examples, and the display location of the widget is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0285] The electronic device 100 displays the application widget 304-1 on the home screen, and after detecting the predefined input action, the electronic device 100 displays an instant messaging application widget on the home page of the home screen. The contents in Figures 3FA-1 and 3FA-2 to 3FC-1 and 3FC-2 may be cited for the manner of displaying the instant messaging application widget on the home page of the home screen. The details will not be described here again.

[0286] In some embodiments, at least two application widgets are displayed on the home screen of electronic device 100, and after detecting a predefined input action, electronic device 100 displays an instant messaging application widget on the home screen. The display manners of media widgets in Figures 3L-1 and 3L-2 to 3M-1 and 3M-2 may be cited for the manners in which electronic device 100 displays an instant messaging application widget on the home screen. Details will not be described here or elsewhere.

[0287] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may display an instant messaging application widget on the lock screen interface after detecting a user's predefined input gesture on the instant messaging application interface. The display manner of the instant messaging application widget on the home screen may be cited for the display manner and beneficial effects of the instant messaging application widget on the lock screen page. The details will not be described here again.

[0288] The method of tapping the screen with the user's finger in all the above-mentioned embodiments may be replaced in some embodiments with methods such as stylus input, floating touch, and voice input.

[0289] FIG. 7 is a schematic flow chart of some embodiments according to the present application.

[0291] For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, electronic device 100 displays a time weather widget on the home screen.

[0292] S702: In response to detecting that a task in progress exists in a first application, simultaneously display a widget of the first application and a first widget with a reduced size in a first area, where the widget of the first application displays first content, the widget of the first application has a second size, and the second size is smaller than the first size.

[0293] For example, as shown in FIGS. 3FA-1 and 3FA-2, after detecting that a music playback control has been activated (e.g., a user taps the music playback control as shown in FIGS. 3E-1 and 3E-2), electronic device 100 displays an interface in which music is being played. When there is a song playing in the music application, after electronic device 100 detects an input predefined gesture (e.g., performing an upward sliding gesture at the bottom of the screen), electronic device 100 may switch from the displayed music application interface GUI 3002 to the home screen. After electronic device 100 switches from the displayed music application interface GUI 3002 to the home screen, the home screen may simultaneously display music widget 314-2 and widget 304-2 (reduced-size application widget 304-1).

[0294] 5BA-1 and 5BA-2, if electronic device 100 detects that ticket itinerary information exists in the schedule content of electronic device 100, electronic device 100 identifies the ticket itinerary information in the schedule (e.g., passengers, departure station, arrival station, departure time, and arrival time) and determines that the difference between the system time of electronic device 100 of 08:00 A.M. and the train's departure time of 08:26 A.M. is less than a time threshold and / or the distance between the current geographic location of electronic device 100 and the geographic location of the train's departure station, Beijing, in the schedule content is less than a distance threshold. In this case, it is determined that ticket itinerary in the schedule content is an ongoing task, and electronic device 100 displays schedule widget 502-2 and time and weather widget 304-2 on the home page of the home screen.

[0295] S703: In response to the electronic device satisfying a preset condition, adjust a size of a widget of a first application from a second size to a first size, where the widget of the first application and having the first size displays second content, the second content is more than the first content, and the second content includes the first content.

[0296] It should be understood that in all embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture and change the order of widgets displayed on the home screen or lock screen interface. It should be understood that the widgets include all widgets described in the embodiments of the present application. For example, as shown in Figures 3G-1 to 3G-3, the electronic device 100 adjusts the display order of the time weather widget and the music widget after detecting a gesture action of pressing the music widget and dragging the music widget to the right, performed by a user's finger.

[0297] For all embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture and adjust the size of a widget displayed on a home screen or lock screen interface and / or the content displayed by the widget. It should be understood that a widget includes all widgets described in the embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture and change the layout of the content displayed by the widget.

[0298] It should be understood that for all embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may detect a scenario change (e.g., to determine that a scenario has changed, the time difference between the system time of the electronic device 100 and the scenario time is less than a preset time threshold value, and / or the distance difference between the geographic location of the electronic device 100 and the scenario geographic location is less than a preset distance threshold value) to adjust the size of a widget displayed on a home screen page or a lock screen interface and / or the content displayed by the widget, and / or the layout of the content displayed by the widget. Related content in Figures 3HB-1 and 3HB-2 may be cited for specific methods and beneficial effects. Details will not be described here or herein. It should be understood that the widgets include all the widgets described in the embodiments of Figures 3A to 3M-1 and 3M-2, the application widgets described in the embodiments of Figures 4A to 4F-1 and 4F-2, the schedule widgets described in the embodiments of Figures 5A to 5EC-1 and 5EC-2, and the instant messaging application widgets described in the embodiments of Figures 6A-1 and 6A-2 to 6G.

[0299] It should be understood that for all embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture (e.g., pinching, where two points of the pinching are respectively touching different widgets), and the electronic device 100 responds by combining two widgets on the home screen or lock screen interface (two widgets on the same page at the same time, e.g., two widgets on the home screen at the same time) into a composite widget. The contents in Figures 5C-1 and 5C-2 may be cited for specific methods. It should be understood that the widget includes all widgets described in the embodiments of the present application.

In this case, the electronic device 100 may display an application interface of the widget. The contents in Figures 4F-1 and 4F-2 may be cited for specific methods.

[0301] For all embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that when displaying a widget on the lock screen interface, electronic device 100 may detect an input predefined gesture (e.g., a single tap with a finger) and an unlock request may be sent. When detecting an unlock action input by a user (e.g., facial recognition, touching and holding icon 315 in FIG. 3A , or entering a password), electronic device 100 displays the widget's application interface.

[0302] It should be further understood that "simultaneous display" in the embodiments of the present application refers to simultaneous presentation of results, not synchronization of display processes. For example, displaying both a music widget and a timed weather widget on the home screen of electronic device 100 means that a user can view the music widget and the timed weather widget on the home screen of electronic device 100 at the same moment, but does not mean that the music widget and the timed weather widget appear on the home screen of electronic device 100 at the same moment.

[0303] It may be understood that to implement the aforementioned functions, the electronic device includes corresponding hardware and / or software modules that perform the functions. With reference to the exemplary algorithm steps described in the embodiments disclosed herein, the present application can be implemented by hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software.
