[0029] The technical solutions according to the embodiments of the present application are described below clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, " / " means "or" unless otherwise specified. For example, A / B may represent A or B. In this specification, "and / or" only describes the related relationship to describe related objects, and represents that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent three cases: only A exists, both A and B exist, and only B exists.

[0030] The terms "first" and "second" below are for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as an indication or implication of relative importance or an implicit indication of the quantity of technical features shown. Thus, a feature qualified by "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0031] In some application scenarios, after receiving an operation performed by a user to open a specified application (e.g., a notepad application, a communication application, or a shopping application), the electronic device may, in response to the operation, simultaneously display two or more pages of the application on the display screen.

[0032] In some other application scenarios, after receiving an operation performed by a user to open a designated application (e.g., a memo pad application, a communication application, or a shopping application), the electronic device independently displays a designated page of the designated application on the display screen in response to the operation. In some embodiments, in response to an operation performed by a user to open a new page of the designated page, the electronic device may simultaneously display two or more pages of the designated application on the display screen of the electronic device by using a screen splitting function. For example, the electronic device may simultaneously display two pages of the application through App Multiplier. The electronic device may display a designated page of the application (e.g., a home page of the application) in the left half area of ​​the display screen and display a sub-page of the designated page in the right half area of ​​the display screen. For more information about App Multiplier, please refer to the content of the website (https: / / consumer.huawei.com / en / support / content / zh-cn00770975 / ).

[0033] For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, an electronic device displays a communication application interface 100. The communication application interface 100 may include a contacts page 101. The contacts page 101 may be a home page of a communication application. A contact display area may be displayed on the contacts page 101. Multiple contact icons (e.g., contacts icon 102 and contacts icon 103) may be displayed in the contact display area, and a contact icon may be used to trigger the display of an instant messaging page corresponding to the contact icon. Optionally, the contacts page may further include an icon such as a search bar.

[0034] In response to an action (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on the contact icon 102, the electronic device may display a communication application interface 110 shown in FIG. 1B. The communication application interface 110 may include a contact page 101 and an instant messaging page 111. The instant messaging page 111 is a sub-page of the contact page 101. The instant messaging page 111 may include dialog boxes, input boxes, and the like. The instant messaging page 111 may be used to chat with the contact "Alan." Optionally, the instant messaging page 111 may further include emoticon controls, voice controls, more controls, and the like.

[0035] The electronic device may receive an action (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on a contact icon 103 of the communication application interface 110. In response to the action, the electronic device 100 may display the communication application interface 120 shown in FIG. 1C.

[0036] 1C , communication application interface 120 may include contacts page 101 and instant messaging page 121. Instant messaging page 121 is a subpage of contacts page 101. Instant messaging page 121 may include dialog boxes, input boxes, and the like. Instant messaging page 121 may be used to chat with contact "Lisa." Optionally, instant messaging page 121 may further include emoticon controls, voice controls, more controls, and the like.

[0037] In this way, the electronic device may display a page on one side of the display screen and a sub-page of the page on the other side of the display screen. The electronic device cannot simultaneously display two or more pages on the same layer, so screen utilization is not high. A page itself is a page that is on the same layer as the page. For example, contact page 101 and contact page 101 are pages that are on the same layer. Sub-pages of the same page are also pages that are on the same layer. For example, instant messaging page 111 and instant messaging page 121 are two pages that are on the same layer, and both instant messaging page 111 and instant messaging page 121 are sub-pages of contact page 101. The electronic device may be electronic device 100.

[0038] An embodiment of the present application provides a display method. An electronic device may display an interface of a first application, the interface of the first application including a first window and a second window, a first page of the first application is displayed in the first window, and a second page of the first application is displayed in the second window. The second page is a sub-page of the first page. After the electronic device receives a window lock operation of a user, if the electronic device receives an operation performed by the user on a new page open control in the first page, the electronic device may display a third page in the first window in response to the operation. The third page is a sub-page of the first page. The first window may be described as a display area on a display screen of the electronic device, and the electronic device may display a designated page, for example, the first page, in the display area. Similarly, the second window may also be described as a display area on a display screen of the electronic device. In this way, the electronic device can perform an appropriate user interface configuration and simultaneously display two pages on the same layer to improve the screen utilization rate of the electronic device. This allows the user to process two tasks simultaneously, improving processing efficiency.

[0060] The ISP is configured to process data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when taking a picture, the shutter is pressed and light is transmitted to the camera's photosensitive elements through the lens. The light signal is converted into an electrical signal, which in turn transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing and converts the electrical signal into a visible image. The ISP may further perform algorithmic optimization on noise, brightness, and skin tone of the image. The ISP may further optimize parameters such as exposure and color temperature for the shooting scenario. In some embodiments, the ISP may be located within the camera 193.

[0061] The camera 193 is configured to capture still images or video. An optical image of an object is generated through a lens and projected onto a photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may be a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts an optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then sent to an ISP to convert the electrical signal into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to a DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard format, such as RGB or YUV. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include one or N cameras 193, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0073] The following describes a diagram of the software structure of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0074] 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. In this embodiment of the present invention, the Android system of the layered architecture is used as an example to describe the software structure of the electronic device 100.

[0075] In a layered architecture, the software is divided into several layers, each of which has a clear role and task. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers from top to bottom: application layer, application framework layer, Android runtime and system libraries, and kernel layer.

[0076] The application layer may include a series of application packages.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 2B, the application package may include applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, and messaging.

[0078] 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.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 2B, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a telephony manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

[0082] The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text and controls for displaying images. The view system can be configured to build applications. A display interface can include one or more views. For example, a display interface that includes an SMS message notification icon can include a text display view and an image display view.

[0083] The telephone manager is configured to provide communication functions for the electronic device 100, such as management of call status (including answering, rejecting, etc.).

[0084] The resource manager provides various resources to an application, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, and video files.

[0085] The notification manager may be configured to allow an application to display notification information in the status bar and communicate notification messages. The displayed information may disappear automatically after a short time without user interaction. For example, the notification manager may be configured to notify of download completion, provide message notifications, etc. Alternatively, the notification manager may 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 screen 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 100 may vibrate, an indicator light may flash, etc.

[0086] The Android runtime includes a kernel library and a virtual machine, and is responsible for scheduling and managing the Android system.

[0087] The kernel library includes two parts: the functions that need to be called in the Java language and the Android kernel library.

[0088] The application layer and the application framework layer run on a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is configured to implement functions such as object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0089] The system library may include multiple functional modules, for example, a surface manager, a media library, a three-dimensional graphics processing library (eg, OpenGL ES), and a 2D graphics engine (eg, SGL).

[0090] The surface manager is configured to manage the display subsystem and provide a blend of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

[0091] The media library supports playback and recording of multiple commonly used audio and video formats, as well as still image files. The media library may support multiple audio and video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG.

[0092] The 3D graphics processing library is configured to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, layer processing, and the like.

[0093] The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

[0094] 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, and a sensor driver.

[0095] The display method provided in the embodiment of the present application will be specifically described below with reference to an application scenario.

[0096] In some application scenarios, the electronic device 100 may display an interface of a first application, where the interface of the first application includes at least two windows. The window is a display area on a display screen of the electronic device 100. The display area may display a specified content. For example, a page of the first application may be displayed in a window. The at least two windows may include a first window and a second window. The first page of the first application is displayed in the first window, and the second page of the first application is displayed in the second window. The second page is a subpage of the first page. If the first window and the second window are not locked, the electronic device 100 may receive an operation performed by a user on a new page open control in the first window, and in response to the operation, display a third page in the second window, where the third page is a subpage of the first page. When the first window and the second window are locked, the electronic device 100 may receive an operation performed by a user on a new page open control in the first window, and in response to the operation, display a third page in the first window, the third page being a subpage of the first page.

[0097] It should be noted that when the electronic device 100 displays a designated page in a first window, any page in the application may be displayed in a second window (wherein the any page may be the designated page, a page in the same layer as the designated page, a page in a different layer from the designated page, etc.). Similarly, when the electronic device 100 displays a designated page in a second window, any page in the application may be displayed in the first window. In this way, the electronic device 100 can configure the interface layout more flexibly and can improve the screen utilization rate. Moreover, it is convenient for the user to simultaneously process transactions on two pages in the same layer.

[0098] The electronic device 100 may divide the display screen into two or more display areas. Two display areas, display area 1 and display area 2, are used as an example. For example, display area 1 may be a left half area of ​​the display screen of the electronic device 100, and display area 2 may be a right half area of ​​the display screen of the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 may display a first window in display area 1 and a second window in display area 2. In some embodiments, display areas 1 and 2 may alternatively be an upper area and a lower area of ​​the display screen.

[0099] For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the electronic device 100 may display a desktop 300. The desktop 300 may include a number of application icons (e.g., a memo pad application icon 301, a file application icon 302, and a video application icon 303). The page may further include a card (e.g., a weather application card or a date application card). The card may display some functional information of a specified application, and some functional information may be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to display a specified page of the specified application. The card may be displayed on the desktop or another specified shortcut interface (e.g., a HiBoard or a service center), and the card may be added or deleted by a user. Some cards may be referred to as window widgets. Optionally, a status bar including icons such as a power identification icon may be further displayed at the top of the desktop 300. The memo pad application icon 301 may be used to trigger the display of an interface of the memo pad application.

[0100] The electronic device 100 may receive an action (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on the notepad application icon 301. In response to the action, the electronic device 100 may display the notepad application interface 310 shown in FIG.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 3B , the notepad application interface 310 may include a window 320 and a window 330. The window 320 is displayed in a display area 312 on the display screen of the electronic device 100, and the window 330 is displayed in a display area 313 on the display screen of the electronic device 100. For example, the display area 312 may be a left half area of ​​the display screen, and the display area 313 may be a right half area of ​​the display screen. In some other embodiments, the notepad application interface 310 may further include a dividing line 311. The dividing line 311 may be displayed at the junction of the window 320 and the window 330. The dividing line 311 may be used to receive and trigger the electronic device 100 to respond to a user input to change the horizontal length of the window 320 and the window 330 (e.g., dragging to the left). Optionally, the dividing line 311 may further be used to receive and trigger the electronic device 100 to respond to a user input to lock the window 320 and the window 330.

[0102] The window 320 may display a note event page 321, which may include a note control, a to-do control, and a note display area. The note control may be configured to trigger the electronic device 100 to display the note display area. The note display area may include note events added by a user (e.g., a “note 5” event 323, a “note 4” event 324, a “note 3” event), an add note control, and a note search bar. The add note control may be configured to trigger the electronic device 100 to receive and respond to a user input to add a note event. The to-do control is configured to trigger the electronic device 100 to display the to-do event display area. The note search bar may be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to receive and respond to a user input to display several note events. The note event may be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to display a note edit page corresponding to the note event. The electronic device 100 may display the note edit page corresponding to the note event whose edit time is closest to the current time in the window 330 by default. For example, if the note event whose edit time is closest to the current time is the “Note 5” event 323, the electronic device 100 may display a note edit page 331 corresponding to the “Note 5” event 323. The note edit page 331 is a subpage of the note event page 321. Optionally, the note edit page 331 may further include a share control, a favorite control, a title input area, a note input area, and the like. The share control may be configured to trigger the electronic device 100 to display a page for sharing the “Note 5” event. The favorite control may be configured to trigger the electronic device 100 to add the “Note 5” event to favorites. The title input area may be used to receive a note title input by a user. The note input area may be used to receive a note content input by a user.

[0103] The electronic device 100 may receive an action (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on the “Note 4” event 324. In response to the action, the electronic device 100 may display the notepad application interface 340 shown in FIG.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 3C, the electronic device 100 may display a memo pad application interface 340. The memo pad application interface 340 may include a dividing line 311, a window 320, and a window 330. The window 330 may display a memo edit page 335, which is a subpage of the memo event page 321. The memo edit page 335 may include a share control, a favorite control, a title input area, a memo input area, and the like. The share control may be configured to trigger the electronic device 100 to display a page for sharing the "memo 4" event. The favorite control may be configured to trigger the electronic device 100 to add the "memo 4" event to favorites. For the parts of the memo pad application interface 340 that are not described in detail, please refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3B. The details will not be described again in this specification.

[0105] As can be seen from the above, when the window 320 and the window 330 are not locked, the electronic device 100 can only independently display the edit note page 331 shown in FIG. 3B or the edit note page 335 shown in FIG. 3C. After both the window 320 and the window 330 are locked, the edit note page 331 and the edit note page 335 can be simultaneously displayed in the window 320 and the window 330 of the electronic device 100. In this way, the electronic device 100 can configure the interface layout more flexibly and display two pages in the same layer in the two displayed windows, so that the user can process transactions on the two pages simultaneously to improve efficiency.

[0106] In some embodiments, electronic device 100 may receive a user-performed operation (e.g., a tap) on dividing line 311. In response to the operation, electronic device 100 may display a notepad application interface 350, shown in FIG.

[0107] As shown in FIG. 3D, the electronic device 100 may display a memo pad application interface 350.

The video playback control is configured to trigger the electronic device 100 to play / pause / fast forward / rewind the video. The video episode list may be used to display a video playback page corresponding to the episode.

[0285] In a possible implementation, the electronic device 100 may display an interface of a first application. A first page is displayed in a first display area on the electronic device 100, and a second page is displayed in a second display area on the electronic device 100. After the electronic device 100 locks both the first page and the second page, the electronic device 100 may receive an operation performed by a user on a new page open control in the second page, and in response to the operation, display a semi-fixed window in the display area of ​​the second window and display a third page in the semi-fixed window. The third page is a new page displayed by the electronic device 100 after the new page open control is triggered. The position of the semi-fixed window is fixed, and the electronic device 100 may resize the semi-fixed window in response to the user operation. In this way, the electronic device 100 can not only display the locked page, but also display the newly opened page. In addition, since the position where the operation is triggered is on the second page, the created semi-fixed window is also displayed on the second window.

[0286] For example, electronic device 100 may receive an action (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on history video option 1705 shown in Figure 13A. In response to the action, electronic device 100 may display video application interface 1660 shown in Figure 13C.

[0287] For a text description of the video application interface 1660, please refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 12D. Details will not be described again in this specification. The electronic device 100 may display a semi-fixed window 1721 on the window 1630. The electronic device 100 may display a video playback page 1722 in the semi-fixed window 1721. The electronic device 100 may change the vertical length of the semi-fixed window in response to a drag operation (e.g., dragging upward) performed by the user on the upper frame of the semi-fixed window. For a text description of the video playback page 1722, please refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 12B. Details will not be described again in this specification.

[0288] Optionally, the semi-fixed window may be displayed in the display area of ​​the first window. In this way, the electronic device 100 can not only display the locked page, but also display the newly opened page. Since the location where the operation is triggered is on the second page, and the second page is a page that the user may need to browse further, the created semi-fixed window may be displayed on the first window to ensure that the second page is not covered.

[0289] In a possible implementation, the electronic device 100 may display an interface of a first application. A first page of the first application is displayed in a first display area. A second page of the first application is displayed in a second display area. After the electronic device 100 locks both the first page and the second page, the electronic device 100 may receive an operation performed by a user on a new page open control. In response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may divide the first display area into a first display sub-area and a second display sub-area, and display the first page in the first display sub-area, the second page in the second display sub-area, and the third page in the second display area. The third page is a new page displayed by the electronic device 100 after the new page open control is triggered. For example, the first display sub-area may be an upper half area of ​​the first display area, and the second display sub-area may be a lower half area of ​​the first display area. In this way, the electronic device 100 can not only display the locked page to ensure that the locked page is not replaced, but also display the newly opened page. Since the third page is the page last triggered by the user, the display area of ​​the third page is the largest.

[0290] Optionally, after receiving an operation performed by a user on the new page open control, electronic device 100 may divide the second display area into a third display sub-area and a fourth display sub-area, and display the third page in the first display area, the first page in the third display sub-area, and the second page in the fourth display sub-area. For example, the third display sub-area may be an upper half area of ​​the second display area, and the fourth display sub-area may be a lower half area of ​​the second display area.

[0291] For example, electronic device 100 may receive an operation (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on history video option 1705 shown in FIG. 13A. In response to the operation, electronic device 100 may display video application interface 1730 shown in FIG. 13D. Video application interface 1730 may include window 1740, window 1745, window 1735, dividing line 1611, and dividing line 1731.

Window 1740 may display video playback page 1661, window 1745 may display history page 1631, and window 1735 may display video playback page 1736. For a text description of video application interface 1730, please refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 13B. Details will not be described again in this specification.

[0293] In a possible implementation, the electronic device 100 may display an interface of a first application. A first page of the first application is displayed in a first display area. A second page of the first application is displayed in a second display area. After the electronic device 100 locks both the first page and the second page, when the electronic device 100 receives an operation performed by a user on a new page open control in the first page, in response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may divide the first display area into a first display sub-area and a second display sub-area, and display the first page in the first display sub-area, a third page in the second display sub-area, and the second page in the second display area. The third page is a new page displayed by the electronic device 100 after the new page open control is triggered.

[0294] When the electronic device 100 receives an operation performed by a user on a new page open control in the second page, in response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may divide the second display area into a third display sub-area and a fourth display sub-area, display the second page in the third display sub-area, display the third page in the fourth display sub-area, and display the third page in the first display area. The third page is a new page displayed by the electronic device 100 after the new page open control is triggered. In this way, the electronic device 100 can not only display a locked page, but also display a newly opened page, which can further ensure that a page on which a user operation has not been received is not covered.

[0295] For example, electronic device 100 may receive an operation (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on history video option 1705 shown in FIG. 13A. In response to the operation, electronic device 100 may display video application interface 1750 shown in FIG. 13E. Video application interface 1520 may include window 1760, window 1765, window 1760, dividing line 1611, and dividing line 1751. Dividing line 1751 may be used to adjust the longitudinal length of window 1765 and window 1760. Dividing line 1611 may be used to adjust the horizontal length of window 1765, window 1760, and window 1760.

[0296] Window 1760 may be displayed in display area 1612 on the display screen of electronic device 100, and window 1760 and window 1765 may be displayed in display area 1613 on the display screen of electronic device 100. For example, display area 1612 may be the left half area of ​​the display screen, and display area 1613 may be the right half area of ​​the display screen. Window 1760 may display video playback page 1661, window 1765 may display history page 1631, and window 1760 may display video playback page 1761. For a text description of video application interface 1750, please refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 13B. Details will not be described again in this specification.

[0297] Optionally, when electronic device 100 receives an operation performed by a user on a new page open control in the second page, in response to the operation, electronic device 100 may divide the first display area into a first display sub-area and a second display sub-area, display the first page in the first display sub-area, display the third page in the second display sub-area, and display the second page in the second display area. When electronic device 100 receives an operation performed by a user on a new page open control in the first page, in response to the operation, electronic device 100 may divide the second display area into a third display sub-area and a fourth display sub-area, display the second page in the third display sub-area, display the third page in the fourth display sub-area, and display the first page in the first display area. The third page is a new page displayed by electronic device 100 after the new page open control is triggered. In this way, electronic device 100 can not only display the locked page to ensure that the locked page is not replaced, but also display the newly opened page, and can ensure that the page is not covered, since the page on which the user action was received is a page that the user may need to view further.

[0298] In a possible application scenario, two pages of a specified application displayed by the electronic device 100 are locked. The electronic device 100 receives a user's application close operation, and the electronic device 100 may display prompt information in response to the application close operation. The prompt information may be used to prompt the user that the pages of the specified application are locked, and if the electronic device 100 receives the application close operation again, the electronic device 100 may close the specified pages. For example, the prompt information may display "The current page is locked. Please close it again."

[0299] In some application scenarios, the electronic device 100 may display a floating window on the display screen, and the floating window displays a page including a specified application (e.g., a file application). If the page is not locked, the electronic device 100 may display the switched-to page in the floating window after receiving a page switching operation performed by a user in the floating window. If the page is locked, the electronic device 100 may display the created floating window and display the switched-to page in the created floating window after receiving a page switching operation performed by a user in the floating window. In this way, the electronic device 100 can simultaneously display the locked page and the switched-to page.

[0300] For example, the electronic device 100 may receive an operation (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on the video application floating control 1113 shown in FIG. 8B.

[0307] In this manner, electronic device 100 can not only display locked pages and ensure that locked pages are not replaced, but can also display created pages.

[0308] In some possible application scenarios, the interface displayed by the electronic device 100 includes a card of a specified application (e.g., a notepad application), and the card of the specified application displays specified function information of the specified application. If the specified function information is unlocked, the electronic device 100 may receive an operation (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on the card. In response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may display a specified page of the specified application in full screen. If the specified function information is unlocked, the electronic device 100 may receive an operation (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on the card, and in response to the operation, display a generated card near the locked card and display a destination page on the generated card. The content of the destination page is the same as the content of the specified page of the specified application. In this way, the electronic device 100 can not only display the locked page, but also display the destination page without covering the original page elements.

[0309] Optionally, if there are page elements (e.g., application icons and cards) in all areas near the locked card, the electronic device 100 may move the position of the page elements until a blank area is present in which the generated card can be placed.

[0310] For example, as shown in FIG. 15A, the electronic device 100 may display a desktop 1900, which may include a number of application icons (e.g., a notepad application icon 1904, a file application icon 1905, and a video application icon 1906). The page may further include a card (e.g., a to-do card 1901 or a clock card 1903). Optionally, a status bar including icons such as a power identification icon may further be displayed at the top of the page where the application icons are located. In some embodiments, the to-do card 1901 may be obtained by using the notepad application icon 1904. For example, the electronic device 100 may display the to-do card 1901 on the desktop 1900 in response to an operation (e.g., a touch and hold or a swipe up) on the notepad application icon 1904. The clock card 1903 may display the time in the form of a clock face.

[0311] The ToDo card 1901 displays ToDo function information 1902. The ToDo function information 1902 may include a creation icon, a ToDo event display area, etc. The ToDo event display area may include ToDo events (e.g., ToDo events 1908) added by a user. For parts of the desktop 1900 that are not described in detail, please refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 11A. Details will not be described again in this specification.

[0312] The electronic device 100 may receive an action (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on the ToDo event 1908. In response to the action, the electronic device 100 may display the notepad application interface 1410 shown in FIGURE 11B. Because the ToDo function information 1902 is not locked, the electronic device 100 displays the switched-to page in full screen.

[0313] As shown in Fig. 15B, the electronic device 100 may receive an operation (e.g., a double tap) performed by a user on the ToDo card 1901 shown in Fig. 15A. In response to this operation, the electronic device 100 may display an interface 1910 shown in Fig. 15B. For a text description of the interface 1910, please refer to the embodiment shown in Fig. 15A. Details will not be described again in this specification. A lock icon 1911 is displayed on the ToDo function information 1902 of the ToDo card 1901. The lock icon 1911 may indicate that the ToDo function information 1902 is locked.

[0314] The electronic device 100 may receive an operation (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on the to-do event 1908 shown in Figure 15B. In response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may display an interface 1920 shown in Figure 15C.

[0315] As shown in FIG. 15C, the interface 1920 includes a page on which application icons are arranged. The page may include a to-do card 1901, a clock card 1903, a notepad application icon 1504, a file application icon 1905, a video application icon 1906, a temporary card 1921, etc. The temporary card 1921 may display a card edit page 1922. Because the to-do function information 1902 is locked, in response to an operation performed by a user on the to-do event 1908 shown in FIG. 15B, the electronic device 100 may generate the temporary card 1921 and display the switched-to card edit page 1922. Because the clock card 1903 already exists next to the to-do card 1901, the electronic device 100 may move the clock card 1903 and place the temporary card 1921 in the original position of the clock card 1903. As the electronic device 100 moves the clock card 1903, the electronic device 100 may simultaneously move the notepad application icon 1504, the file application icon 1905, and the video application icon 1906. In this manner, the electronic device 100 can simultaneously display the card editing page 1922 and the ToDo function information 1902. For the parts of the interface 1920 that are not described in detail, please refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 15A. The details will not be described again in this specification.

[0316] Optionally, the size of the created card may be set to a preset size. The preset size may be the same as the size of the original card. Alternatively, the preset size may be the same as the size of the adjacent cards of the card whose position is to be moved.

[0317] In a possible implementation, the interface displayed by electronic device 100 includes a card of a specified application, which displays a specified page. If the specified page is locked, electronic device 100 may receive a page switching operation (e.g., a tap) performed by a user on the card, and in response to the operation, display the switched-to page in full screen and display the card containing the locked specified page on the switched-to page.
