In addition, without contradiction, the embodiments in this disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] FIG. 1 is a process schematic diagram of a locking method according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, which can be applied to locking a display orientation in an application program, and which can be executed by a locking device, which can be realized by software and / or hardware and is generally integrated into an electronic device, and in this embodiment, the electronic device includes devices such as computers, notebook computers, tablet computers, and mobile phones.

[0021] For example, if the multimedia data is a short video, when a user watches the short video, the orientation continues to rotate even after adapting to landscape screen, which is annoying to the user. To solve this problem, as shown in FIG. 1, the locking method according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure includes steps S110 and S120.

[0022] S110, if the electronic device satisfies a setting condition, displaying a setting control in a current display interface of the application program, the setting control being used to control a lock state of a display orientation of multimedia data played by the application program.

[0023] In this embodiment, the setting conditions can be understood as conditions that are set in advance by the system or related parties to determine the display of setting controls, and the content of the setting conditions may be that the electronic device converts between landscape and portrait screens, that the user performs setting operations on the display screen of the electronic device, or even that the electronic device receives a voice control command, etc.

[0024] The setting control may be a control for setting the state of the current display interface of the application program, and is used to control the lock state of the display orientation of the multimedia data played by the application program. For example, the setting control may be a control for triggering the lock of the interface, or may be a control for triggering the unlock of the interface. The location of the setting control in the current display interface of the application program can be set according to demand, for example, it can be located in the center area on the left side. The current display interface can be considered as an interface in the application program currently displayed on the electronic device. The multimedia data can be video data or drawing data, etc. in the application program, and the display orientation can be considered as the orientation of the electronic device when displaying the multimedia data, such as a landscape screen or a portrait screen, and the lock state can include a locked state and an unlocked state (i.e., an unlocked state). When the lock state is a locked state, the display orientation is locked, and when the lock state is an unlocked state, the display orientation is unlocked.

[0025] The attribute control may be a control representing an attribute of multimedia data, and the number and contents of the attribute control may be set according to needs, for example, the attribute control may include a control for liking multimedia data, a control for reviewing multimedia data, and / or a control for transferring multimedia data, etc. A user can realize processing on the attributes of multimedia data by operating the attribute control. In the present disclosure, regardless of whether the lock state of the display orientation is locked or unlocked, the attribute control is displayed in the current display interface for the user to operate.

[0026] In one embodiment, when the electronic device meets the setting condition, a setting control can be displayed in the current display interface of the application program to control the lock state of the display orientation of the multimedia data played by the application program, and at the same time, one or more attribute controls of the multimedia data are included in the current display interface.

[0027] Optionally, the electronic device satisfies a set condition by: The electronic device converts between a horizontal screen and a vertical screen; and receiving a setting operation on a display screen of the electronic device.

[0028] In this embodiment, the conversion between the horizontal screen and the vertical screen can be understood as the screen of the electronic device being converted from the horizontal screen to the vertical screen, or the screen of the electronic device being converted from the vertical screen to the horizontal screen, or the horizontal screen or the vertical screen being rotated inverted. In this step, the means for detecting the conversion between the horizontal screen and the vertical screen may be detecting a change in the screen angle of the electronic device, and when it is detected that the change in the screen angle of the electronic device exceeds a set angle such as 45 degrees, it is considered that the electronic device has performed the conversion between the horizontal screen and the vertical screen.

[0029] The coverage scenarios in which the electronic device converts between landscape and portrait orientations to trigger the display of configuration controls include multimedia data scenarios that support landscape playback.

[0030] In one embodiment, a precondition for the electronic device to trigger display of the setting control by converting between landscape and portrait screens may be that an auto-rotation function of the electronic device is turned on. When the auto-rotation function is turned off, the electronic device may not display the setting control when rotating between landscape and portrait screens, or may display the setting control. After displaying the setting control, the electronic device may not respond to triggering of the setting control.

[0031] After triggering the display of the setting control due to conversion between landscape and portrait screen, if the setting control is a lock control, the current screen state is locked after clicking the lock control, the setting control is in a lock style, and the setting control automatically disappears after displaying for a certain period of time, and when switching between landscape and portrait screen occurs, the setting control directly disappears; if the setting control is an unlock control, the current screen state is unlocked after clicking the unlock control, the setting control is in an unlock style, and the setting control automatically disappears after displaying for a certain period of time, and when switching between landscape and portrait screen occurs, the setting control directly disappears.

[0032] A setting operation may be an operation that triggers the display of a setting control, and the content of the setting operation may be set in advance by the system or a related party, and may include, for example, an operation in which a user clicks on the display screen of an electronic device.

[0033] S120, changing the lock state of the display orientation after the setting control is triggered.

[0034] The current display interface displays the multimedia data and attribute controls of the multimedia data, and the setting controls include a lock control for locking the display orientation and an unlock control for unlocking the display orientation. If the setting control is a lock control, the display orientation is locked in response to the lock control being triggered. If the setting control is an unlock control, the display orientation is unlocked in response to the unlock control being triggered.

[0035] In one embodiment, when a setting control is displayed within a current display interface of an application program, the user can choose whether to trigger the setting control, and if the user chooses to trigger the setting control, it is explained that the user intends to control the lock state of the display orientation of the multimedia data played by the application program, and at this time, the lock state of the display orientation can be changed; at the same time, multimedia data and attribute controls are displayed in the current display interface, and if the user does not trigger the setting control, it is explained that the user does not need to control the lock state of the display orientation of the multimedia data played by the application program, and at this time, the current lock state of the display orientation can be maintained.

[0036] Exemplarily, both the lock control and the unlock control may be simultaneously displayed in the current processing interface, or only the lock control may be displayed in the current processing interface, or only the unlock control may be displayed in the current processing interface. When a setting control such as a lock control is displayed in the current display interface of the application program, the display orientation can be locked when a user selects to trigger the setting control, i.e., the display orientation of the multimedia data played by the application program is locked, thereby improving the user experience; when a setting control such as an unlock control is displayed in the current display interface of the application program, the display orientation can be set to an unlocked state when a user selects to trigger the setting control, i.e., the display orientation of the multimedia data played by the application program can be changed according to the change in the orientation of the electronic device.

[0037] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the change of the locking method according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the process from when the electronic device does not meet the setting condition to when the electronic device meets the setting condition and the setting control is triggered. FIG. 2 only takes several frames as an example for explanation, and the display order of each frame is from left to right. As shown in FIG. 2, when the electronic device does not meet the setting condition (for example, the user watches a video), the current display interface of the application program includes multimedia data 21 and an attribute control 22 of the multimedia data. When the electronic device meets the setting condition (for example, clicks on the screen), a setting control 23 (for example, a lock control) is displayed on the current display interface of the application program. The setting control 23 is used to control the lock state of the display direction of the multimedia data played by the application program. After the setting control 23 is triggered, the lock state of the display direction can be changed, and at the same time, the multimedia data 21 and the attribute control 22 can be displayed on the current display interface.

[0038] For example, if the setting control 23 is a lock control, the current screen state (landscape screen & portrait screen) can be locked after clicking the screen lock button (i.e., the setting control 23), and the state of the setting control 23 becomes the lock style; if the setting control 23 is an unlock control, the current screen state (landscape screen & portrait screen) can be unlocked after clicking the screen lock button (i.e., the setting control 23), and the state of the setting control 23 becomes the unlock style. Finally, the user can continue back to the playback state after clicking the screen, and the screen lock disappears.

[0039] A first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a locking method applied to an application program on an electronic device, comprising: displaying a setting control in a current display interface of the application program when the electronic device meets a setting condition, the setting control being used to control a lock state of a display direction of multimedia data played by the application program; and changing the lock state of the display direction after the setting control is triggered, the current display interface including the multimedia data and an attribute control of the multimedia data, the setting control including a lock control for locking the display direction and an unlock control for unlocking the display direction. Through the above method, when the electronic device meets a setting condition, the setting control can be displayed in the current display interface of the application program to realize the change of the lock state of the display direction, and the convenience of the user to change the lock state can be improved. At the same time, the current display interface can simultaneously display the multimedia data and the attribute control, and realize the user to operate the multimedia data and the attribute control in the current display interface while changing the lock state of the display direction, thereby improving the user experience.

[0040] Based on the above embodiment, a modified embodiment of the above embodiment is presented, and it should be noted that for convenience of explanation, only the differences from the above embodiment are described in the modified embodiment.

[0041] In one embodiment, after the electronic device satisfies a set condition, The method further includes displaying a first set time length in response to instruction information indicating information related to the setting control.

[0042] The first set time length may be a display time length of the instruction information, which may be set in advance by the system or a related person, for example, 3s, etc. The instruction information may be information instructing a setting control, for example, information instructing triggering of the setting control, such as click to lock, or feedback information triggering the setting control, such as locked. In addition, in this embodiment, the display timing of the instruction information can be set according to demand, for example, it may be displayed when displaying the setting control in the current display interface of the application program, or it may be displayed after the setting control is triggered, and the number of times the instruction information is displayed may be every time or a set number of times, etc.

[0043] Selectably, the indication information is displayed a set number of times.

[0044] The set number of times may be an upper limit of the number of times the instruction information is displayed, and the set number of times may be set in advance by the system or a related person, for example, 10 times. In this embodiment, the number of occurrences of different information instructing the setting control and feedback information triggering the setting control can be calculated, and then cumulatively added to obtain the number of times of display. For example, if the set number of times is 10 times, when the number of times of display exceeds 10 times, the instruction information will not be displayed.

[0045] For example, the cumulative number of times the instruction information is displayed during the entire usage life cycle of the application program does not exceed a set number, and the instruction information, such as click to lock, locked, click to unlock, unlocked, etc., are calculated respectively.

[0046] The number of times each piece of instruction information appears can be set arbitrarily. For example, click to lock and click to unlock may appear only once, or locked and unlocked may appear only once.

[0047] After the user completes a lock operation via the settings control for the first time, prompt them not to display the Click-to-lock or Click-to-unlock copywriting thereafter, or prompt them not to display the Locked or Unlocked copywriting thereafter.

[0048] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display the indication for a first set amount of time after the electronic device satisfies a set condition, such as to indicate information that triggers a setting control, or to display feedback information that triggers a setting control, etc.

[0049] In one embodiment, in response to the display orientation being locked and the time period during which the display orientation of the multimedia data returns to the display orientation before the switching being less than a second set time period, determining that the display state of the indication information is not to display the indication information; In response to the display orientation being unlocked and the time period during which the display orientation of the multimedia data returns to the display orientation before the switch being less than a second set time period, it is determined that the display state of the indication information displays the indication information.

[0050] The second set time length may be a threshold value of the time length for switching the display direction, which may be set in advance by the system or a related person, and may be, for example, 3 seconds.

[0051] In one embodiment, when the time length of the display orientation of the multimedia data returning to the display orientation before switching is less than a second set time length, the display state of the indication information can be determined based on the lock state of the display orientation. Exemplarily, when the display orientation is locked, if the display orientation of the multimedia data returns within the second pre-set time length, for example, when the display orientation of the multimedia data switches from landscape to portrait and switches to landscape within 3s, the display state of the indication information can be to not display the indication information; when the display orientation is not locked, i.e., unlocked, if the display orientation of the multimedia data returns within the second set time length, the display state of the indication information can be to display indication information such as click to lock, or can be feedback information triggering a setting control, such as locked.

[0052] In one embodiment, the step of changing the lock state of the display orientation after the setting control is triggered includes: and changing the lock state of the display orientation by a rotation control service after detecting that the setting control is triggered on a lock controller.

[0053] The lock controller can be understood as a service that detects the triggering of a setting control, and can detect whether the setting control is triggered or not by receiving notifications of user interactions with information flows. The rotation control service may be a service that controls the lock state of the display orientation.

[0054] In one embodiment, after detecting that a settings control is triggered on the lock controller, the rotation control service can change the locked state of the display orientation. For example, if the user clicks lock (i.e., triggers a settings control that is a lock control), the rotation control service can lock the screen rotation (i.e., the display orientation). If the user clicks unlock (i.e., triggers a settings control that is an unlock control), the rotation control service can unlock the screen rotation (i.e., the display orientation).

[0055] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing a change in the current display interface of an application program in Example 1 of the present disclosure. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the display of a setting control in the current display interface of an application program until the setting control is triggered. Figure 3 only takes a few frames as examples for explanation, and the display order of each frame is from left to right.

[0056] 3, when the electronic device meets the setting condition, a setting control 31 and instruction information 32 can be displayed in the current display interface of the application program, the setting control 31 is a control for triggering lock, the instruction information 32 indicates the triggering of the setting control 31, i.e., the information instructing to click to lock, and the display interface further includes multimedia data 33 and an attribute control 34 of the multimedia data 33. After the setting control 31 is triggered, a setting control 35 and instruction information 36 are displayed in the current display interface of the application program, the setting control 35 is a lock style, and the instruction information 36 indicates the feedback information for triggering the setting control 31, i.e., indicates locked.

[0057] In one embodiment, the lock state of the current display interface can display the multimedia data 33 and the attribute control 34 so that the user can operate the multimedia data 33 and the attribute control 34. Note that the setting control 35 and the instruction information 36 disappear after being displayed for 3 s in the current display interface, thereby allowing the user to operate the multimedia data 33 and the attribute control 34.

[0058] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing a change in the current display interface of another application program in Example 1 of the present disclosure. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the display of a setting control in the current display interface of an application program until the setting control is triggered. Figure 4 only takes a few frames as examples for explanation, and the display order of each frame is from left to right.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 4, when the electronic device meets the setting condition, a setting control 41 and instruction information 42 can be displayed in the current display interface of the application program, the setting control 41 is a control for triggering unlocking, the instruction information 42 indicates the information instructing the triggering of the setting control 41, i.e., click to unlock, and the display interface further includes an attribute control 44 of the multimedia data 43. After the setting control 41 is triggered, a setting control 45 and instruction information 46 are displayed in the current display interface of the application program, the setting control 45 is an unlocking style, and the instruction information 46 indicates the feedback information for triggering the setting control 41, i.e., indicates unlocking, and at the same time, the multimedia data 43 and the attribute control 44 are displayed in the current display interface so that the user operates the multimedia data 43 and the attribute control 44. Note that the setting control 45 and the instruction information 46 are displayed for 3s in the current display interface and then disappear, so that the user operates the multimedia data 43 and the attribute control 44.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] 5 is a process diagram of a locking method according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, which is modified based on the selectable solutions in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, changing the lock state of the display orientation after the setting control is triggered is performed such that after a screen rotation control of the electronic device is triggered, an auto-rotation function of the electronic device is turned on, and the lock state of the display orientation is changed in response to the setting control being triggered.

[0062] For the contents not explained in detail in this embodiment, please refer to the first embodiment.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 5, the locking method provided in the second embodiment of the present disclosure includes steps S210 to S240.

[0064] S210, if the electronic device satisfies the setting condition, displaying a setting control in a current display interface of the application program, where the setting control is used to control a lock state of a display direction of the multimedia data played by the application program.

[0065] S220: after the screen rotation control of the electronic device is triggered, determine whether the auto-rotation function of the electronic device is turned on and the setting control is triggered; in response to the auto-rotation function of the electronic device being turned on and the setting control being triggered after the screen rotation control of the electronic device is triggered, execute S230; in response to the auto-rotation function of the electronic device not being turned on or the setting control not being triggered after the screen rotation control of the electronic device is triggered, execute S240.

[0066] In this embodiment, the screen rotation control may be regarded as a control for controlling the on / off state of the automatic screen rotation function of the electronic device, for example, after the screen rotation control is triggered, the automatic screen rotation function of the electronic device may be turned on or off, and the on or off state is determined by the current on / off state of the automatic screen rotation function of the electronic device. The screen rotation control may be a system lock attached to the electronic device. The screen rotation control may be regarded as an automatic screen rotation control, and the automatic screen rotation mode of the electronic device in landscape and portrait modes may be turned on or off by the screen rotation control.

[0067] When trying to control the lock state of the display orientation of multimedia data played by an application program, after the screen rotation control of the electronic device is triggered, it is necessary to determine whether the auto-rotation function of the electronic device is turned on and whether the setting control is triggered.

[0068] After the screen rotation control of the electronic device is triggered, an auto-rotation function of the electronic device is turned on, and in response to the setting control being triggered, the lock state of the display orientation can be changed.

[0069] When an auto-rotation function of the electronic device is turned off after a screen rotation control of the electronic device is triggered, the display orientation is locked in response to the auto-rotation function being turned off without responding to the triggering of the setting control.

[0070] S230, the display orientation lock state is changed, and the operation is completed.

[0071] S240, lock the display orientation.

[0072] The locking method provided by Example 2 of the present disclosure can control the locking state of the display orientation by determining whether the auto-rotation function of the electronic device is turned on and whether the setting control is triggered after the screen rotation control of the electronic device is triggered, thereby improving the accuracy of the locking method.

[0073] FIG. 6 is a process schematic diagram of another locking method according to Example 2 of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, when the system turns on auto-rotation, the electronic device can meet the setting conditions in two ways. In one aspect, when the user clicks on the screen, i.e., receives a setting operation on the display screen of the electronic device, a pause can be displayed in the current display interface of the application program, and a screen lock (i.e., a setting control) can be displayed on the left side of the display interface, and the user can select to turn the screen lock on or off (i.e., the setting control is triggered), and finally, the lock state of the display orientation is changed in the current display interface, and multimedia data and attribute controls are displayed. On the other hand, when the electronic device performs conversion between landscape and portrait screens, if the electronic device meets the setting conditions, it can display a screen lock prompt boost (i.e., a setting control) for 3 seconds in the current display interface of the application program, and the user can select whether to lock the screen. If the user selects YES, the display orientation lock state is set as locked. Then, when the electronic device performs conversion between landscape and portrait screens again, if the electronic device meets the setting conditions, it can display an unlock prompt boost (i.e., a setting control) for 3 seconds in the current display interface of the application program, and the user can select whether to unlock and perform subsequent operations based on the selection. If the user does not select screen lock, the display orientation lock state is not changed, and the above operations are repeated when the electronic device performs conversion between landscape and portrait screens again.
