Description

Display method and electronic device

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on December 28, 2023, with application number 202311862023.9 ​​and application name “Display Method and Electronic Device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of electronic technology, and more particularly, to a display method and an electronic device. Background Art

[0003] When a user uses an electronic device, there is often a need to switch the display interface of the electronic device. For example, when a user wears a wearable electronic device, the wearable electronic device often needs to switch the display interface. For example, a wearable electronic device switches the display interface of one application (Application, App) to the display interface of another application, or a wearable electronic device switches from one display desktop to another display desktop. The switching process often requires the user to operate multiple steps, which is relatively cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application provides a display method and electronic device, which can display the entrance or control card of another application according to the user's convenient operation, thereby facilitating the electronic device to conveniently control another application. Alternatively, the technical solution can enable the electronic device to conveniently switch the type of displayed desktop, thereby improving the efficiency of user operation.

[0005] In a first aspect, a display method is provided, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes: the electronic device displays a first display interface, the first display interface includes a display element, and the size of the display element is variable; when a trigger condition is met, a second display interface is displayed; wherein the trigger condition includes: when the size of the display element reaches a maximum size, a first operation is detected, and the first operation is an operation that can trigger the size of the display element to increase when the size of the display element is not a maximum size; or, when the size of the display element reaches a minimum size, a second operation is detected, and the second operation is an operation that can trigger the size of the display element to decrease when the size of the display element is not a minimum size.

[0006] It should be understood that the size of the display element of the electronic device reaches the maximum size, which may be achieved by the electronic device in response to the user's operation of enlarging the display element, or it may be the initial state of the electronic device; the size of the display element of the electronic device reaches the minimum size, which may be achieved by the electronic device in response to the user's operation of reducing the display element, or it may be the initial state of the electronic device, and this application does not limit it.

[0007] It should be understood that the size of a display element can also include a stable state and a temporary state. For example, the minimum size of a display element in a stable state can be size A1, and the maximum size can be size A3. The temporary state can mean that the display element can continue to shrink slightly to size B1 based on the minimum size A1 as the user zooms out, but when the user stops zooming out, the display element can be displayed at the minimum size A1 in the stable state. Similarly, the display element can continue to expand slightly to size B3 based on the maximum size A3 as the user zooms in, but when the user stops zooming in, the display element can be displayed at the maximum size B3 in the stable state. In this way, when the size of a display element reaches the limit size in the stable state, as the user continues to operate in the direction of the limit size, the display element can enter a temporary state. When the user stops operating, the display element rebounds to the stable state, thereby providing a certain buffering effect for the user's operation.

[0008] In this case, the maximum size may be the size B3 in the temporary state, and the minimum size may be the size B1 in the temporary state.

[0009] It should also be understood that if the size of the display element does not include a temporary state, the maximum size may be the maximum size A3 in the stable state, and the minimum size may be the minimum size A1 in the stable state.

[0010] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the first display interface of the electronic device may include a display element with variable size. When the size of the display element reaches the maximum or minimum size, the user's operation is detected and the second display interface can be displayed.

[0011] In this way, when the display elements in the first display interface reach their maximum or minimum size, the electronic device can display the second display interface according to the user's zoom-in or zoom-out operation, thereby enabling the electronic device to conveniently switch display interfaces. In addition, this technical solution can also enhance the user's interactive experience with the electronic device.

[0012] In other examples, the first operation and the second operation may also be operations such as the user making a fist, rubbing fingers, double-clicking, waving, or clicking.

[0013] In this way, when the size of the display element of the electronic device reaches the maximum or minimum size, the electronic device can display the second display interface through the above gesture, thereby improving the convenience of switching display interfaces and enhancing the user's operating experience.

[0014] In one implementation, the first display interface is a chessboard desktop, the display elements include application icons, and the second display interface is an entrance to a list desktop.

[0015] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the first display interface is a chessboard desktop, and the second display interface is an entrance to the list desktop, so that the electronic device can provide an entrance to switch from the chessboard desktop to the list desktop through convenient operations of the user, so as to facilitate the user to conveniently switch the display desktop of the electronic device.

[0016] Optionally, when the size of the application icon reaches the maximum size, the third display interface may further include the name of the application.

[0017] This technical solution helps users understand the information of the currently displayed application and helps users accurately find the required application.

[0018] In one implementation, the second display interface covers part of the first display interface.

[0019] The second display interface covers part of the first display interface, which can also be understood as the second display interface not completely covering the first display interface. For example, the second display interface covers a preset percentage of the first display interface, such as 30% or 50%.

[0020] The second display interface may cover a top portion of the first display interface, or may cover a bottom portion of the first display interface.

[0021] The first display interface and the second display interface may belong to the same application. For example, the application is a desktop application, the first display interface may be a list desktop, and the second display interface may be a chessboard desktop.

[0022] The first display interface and the second display interface may also belong to different applications.

[0023] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the second display interface covers a portion of the first display interface, providing users with multiple options. Users can choose to operate on the first display interface or the second display interface, which provides flexibility in user operations. In addition, the second display interface covering a portion of the first display interface can also improve the fault tolerance of user operations and avoid directly displaying the second display interface in full screen, which would affect the user's original operation.

[0024] In one implementation, the first operation includes: an operation detected in the display screen for enlarging the size of the display element, or an operation of rotating the crown in a first rotation direction; the second operation includes: an operation detected in the display screen for reducing the size of the display element, or an operation of rotating the crown in a second rotation direction.

[0025] The first rotation direction is opposite to the second rotation direction.

[0026] For example, the operation detected on the display screen for enlarging the size of the display element may be a two-finger zoom-in or three-finger zoom-in operation by the user; the first rotation direction may be clockwise or counterclockwise. The operation detected on the display screen for reducing the size of the display element may be a two-finger zoom-out or three-finger zoom-out operation by the user; the second rotation direction may be counterclockwise or clockwise. It should be understood that if the first rotation direction is clockwise, the second rotation direction is counterclockwise, and if the first rotation direction is counterclockwise, the second rotation direction is clockwise.

[0027] Based on the embodiment of the present application, both the first operation and the second operation may include multiple operations, thereby improving the flexibility of user operations.

[0028] In one implementation, before displaying the first display interface, the method further includes: when displaying the first boundary content of the third display interface, in response to an operation of sliding the second boundary content in the opposite direction of the first boundary content or an operation of rotating the crown in a preset rotation direction, displaying the entrance to the first display interface; displaying the first display interface includes: displaying the first display interface in response to a user's operation on the entrance to the first display interface.

[0029] For example, the first boundary content may be the top edge content of the third display interface, and the second boundary content may be the bottom edge content of the third display interface. Alternatively, the first boundary content may be the bottom edge content of the third display interface, and the second boundary content may be the top edge content of the third display interface.

[0030] The preset rotation direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device displays the first boundary content of the third display interface, that is, when the electronic device reaches the display limit, if the user continues to slide toward the second boundary or rotate the crown in a preset direction, an entrance to the first display interface may be displayed, and the user may click on the entrance to display the first display interface. This technical solution can make it possible for the electronic device to conveniently switch from the third display interface to the first display interface.

[0032] In one implementation, the first display interface is a chessboard desktop, and the third display interface is a list desktop.

[0033] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can conveniently switch from the list desktop to the chessboard desktop.

[0034] In one implementation, the method further includes: in response to a third operation of the user on the second display interface, displaying the second display interface in full screen, or another display interface triggered by the third operation.

[0035] Exemplarily, the third operation may be an operation in which the user clicks on the second display interface. For example, the other display interface may be a list desktop. In this way, the electronic device can be conveniently switched from the chessboard desktop to the list desktop.

[0036] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display the second display interface or another display interface in full screen according to the user's third operation on the second display interface, thereby enabling the electronic device to conveniently switch display interfaces.

[0037] In one implementation, the method further includes: displaying the first display interface in full screen in response to a fourth operation of the user on the first display interface.

[0038] The third operation may be an operation in which the user clicks on the first display interface.

[0039] According to the embodiment of the present application, after displaying the second display interface, if the user does not perform an operation on the second display interface but performs an operation on the first display interface, the electronic device can cancel the display of the second display interface and restore the full-screen display of the first display interface. This can improve the error tolerance of user operations.

[0040] In one implementation, the second display interface covers the top or bottom of the first display interface.

[0041] This technical solution can enable users to conveniently operate the second display interface and conform to the user's usage habits.

[0042] In one implementation, before displaying the second display interface, the method further includes: vibrating the electronic device for a preset duration or displaying an animation effect.

[0043] It should be understood that this application does not limit the specific value of the preset duration, nor does it limit the specific animation of the animation effect.

[0044] In this way, the electronic device can remind the user that a new second display interface is about to appear by vibrating for a preset duration or displaying an animation effect, thereby better providing a reminder to the user.

[0045] Optionally, when the size of a display element in the first display interface reaches its maximum size, the electronic device may vibrate for a preset duration or display an animation effect to alert the user that the display element has reached its maximum size. After the user performs the first operation, the electronic device will display a newly displayed second display interface, thereby providing a warning to the user.

[0046] Optionally, when the size of a display element in the first display interface reaches the minimum size, the electronic device may vibrate for a preset duration or display an animation effect to alert the user that the size of the display element has been reduced to the limit. After the user performs a second operation, the electronic device will display a newly appeared second display interface, thereby providing a warning to the user.

[0047] Optionally, the maximum size and the minimum size may be the sizes in the stable state mentioned above, or the sizes in the temporary state.

[0048] In one implementation, before displaying the second display interface, the method further includes: determining the second display interface based on first information; wherein the first information includes at least one of the following information: whether the electronic device is connected to other electronic devices; the location of the electronic device; time information; the user's habits of using the electronic device; or the content of the first display interface.

[0049] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can determine the content of the second display interface in a variety of ways, so that the display interface can be easily switched in a variety of scenarios, thereby improving the diversity of user usage.

[0050] Optionally, when the time information includes a holiday or a user-specified birthday or anniversary, the second display interface may include holiday greetings or holiday Easter eggs. For example, if the time information includes the user's birthday, the second display interface may include birthday greetings or a cake Easter egg, thereby providing proactive care for the user and enhancing the user's experience.

[0051] In one implementation, if the electronic device is communicatively connected to a second electronic device for playing media, the second display interface is a display interface for controlling the playing of the media file.

[0052] Exemplarily, the second electronic device may be a mobile phone, the media may be audio or video, etc., and the second display interface may be a control card for conveniently controlling audio or video, such as controlling play, pause, switching to the next song, switching to the previous song, etc.

[0053] Based on the embodiments of the present application, a user can conveniently control the media on another electronic device on one electronic device, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0054] In one implementation, the second display interface is predefined by the system or predefined by the user.

[0055] For example, the user may predefine the content of the second display interface in a management application for controlling the electronic device by the user, or the second display interface may be predefined in a system of the electronic device.

[0056] In this way, the diversity of the second display interface can be improved.

[0057] In one implementation, the second display interface is translucent.

[0058] In this way, the newly appeared second display interface is semi-transparent, which can minimize the impact on the user's use of the first display interface in the event of a user's misoperation.

[0059] Optionally, after a preset period of time, if the user does not perform any operation, the second display interface may disappear automatically.

[0060] Optionally, the second display interface may also be opaque.

[0061] In one implementation, the electronic device is a wearable electronic device.

[0062] Optionally, the wearable electronic device is a smart watch or a smart bracelet.

[0063] In a second aspect, a display method is provided, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes: displaying a fourth display interface, wherein the fourth display interface is the last display interface among multiple display interfaces that the electronic device switches to display in a first direction; in response to a fifth operation, displaying a fifth display interface, wherein the fifth display interface covers part of the fourth display interface, and the fifth operation is an operation that can trigger switching the display interface to the first direction when other display interfaces among the multiple display interfaces are displayed.

[0064] The fifth display interface covers part of the fourth display interface, which can also be understood as the fifth display interface not completely covering the fourth display interface. For example, the fifth display interface covers a preset percentage of the fourth display interface, such as 30% or 50%.

[0065] The fifth display interface may cover the left portion of the fourth display interface, or the right portion of the fourth display interface; or, the fifth display interface may cover the top portion of the fourth display interface, or the bottom portion of the fourth display interface.

[0066] For example, if the first direction is swiping to the left, the fifth display interface can cover the right part of the fourth display interface; if the first direction is swiping to the right, the fifth display interface can cover the left part of the fourth display interface. In this way, the display of the fifth display interface can be more in line with the user's usage habits, providing a good user experience.

[0067] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device displays the last display interface among multiple display interfaces switched to the first direction. In response to the fifth operation, the fifth display interface covering the last display interface can be displayed, so that another display interface can be conveniently displayed when the electronic device displays to the limit, which is conducive to convenient switching of the display interface of the electronic device.

[0068] In one implementation, the fifth operation includes: an operation of sliding in the first direction detected on the display screen, or an operation of rotating the crown in a preset direction.

[0069] For example, the first direction is sliding left or right, and the preset direction of rotating the crown is rotating the crown counterclockwise or clockwise. The last display interface can be switched by the user sliding on the display screen or by rotating the crown.

[0070] In one implementation, the method further includes: in response to a user operation on the fifth display interface, displaying a sixth display interface within the display area of ​​the fifth display interface or displaying the sixth display interface in full screen.

[0071] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can jump within the display area of ​​the fifth display interface according to the user's operation on the fifth display interface, or the electronic device can display the fifth display interface in full screen, so that the electronic device can quickly switch to other display interfaces.

[0072] In one implementation, the method further includes: displaying the fourth display interface in full screen in response to a user operation on the fourth display interface.

[0073] According to the embodiment of the present application, after displaying the fifth display interface, if the user does not perform an operation on the fifth display interface but instead performs an operation on the fourth display interface, the electronic device can cancel the display of the fifth display interface and restore the full-screen display of the fourth display interface. This can improve the error tolerance of user operations.

[0074] In one implementation, before displaying the fifth display interface, the method further includes: the electronic device vibrating for a preset duration or displaying an animation effect.

[0075] In this way, the electronic device can remind the user that a new fifth display interface is about to appear by vibrating for a preset duration or displaying an animation effect, thereby better providing a reminder to the user.

[0076] Optionally, when the fourth display interface is the last display interface among the multiple display interfaces that the electronic device switches to display in the first direction, the electronic device may vibrate for a preset duration or display an animation effect to alert the user that the electronic device's display interface has reached the limit. After the user performs the fifth operation, the electronic device will display the newly displayed fifth display interface, thereby providing a warning to the user.

[0077] In one implementation, before displaying the fifth display interface, the method further includes: determining the fifth display interface based on first information; wherein the first information includes at least one of the following information: whether the electronic device is connected to other electronic devices; the location of the electronic device; time information; the user's habits of using the electronic device; or the content of the fourth display interface.

[0078] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can determine the content of the fifth display interface in a variety of ways, so that the display interface can be conveniently switched in a variety of scenarios, thereby improving the diversity of user usage.

[0079] In one implementation, if the electronic device is communicatively connected to a second electronic device for playing media, the fifth display interface is a display interface for controlling the playing of the media.

[0080] Exemplarily, the second electronic device may be a mobile phone, the media may be audio or video, etc., and the fifth display interface may be a control card for conveniently controlling audio or video, such as controlling play, pause, switching to the next song, switching to the previous song, etc.

[0081] Based on the embodiments of the present application, a user can conveniently control the media on another electronic device on one electronic device, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0082] In one implementation, the fifth display interface is predefined by the system or predefined by the user.

[0083] Exemplarily, the user may predefine the content of the fifth display interface in a management application for controlling the electronic device by the user, or the fifth display interface may be predefined in a system of the electronic device.

[0084] In this way, the diversity of the fifth display interface can be improved.

[0085] In one implementation, the fifth display interface is translucent.

[0086] In this way, the newly appeared fifth display interface is semi-transparent, which can minimize the impact on the user's use of the first display interface in the event of a user's misoperation.

[0087] Optionally, after a preset period of time, if the user does not perform any operation, the fifth display interface may disappear automatically.

[0088] Optionally, the fifth display interface may also be opaque.

[0089] In one implementation, the electronic device is a wearable electronic device.

[0090] Optionally, the wearable electronic device is a smart watch or a smart bracelet.

[0091] In a third aspect, a display method is provided, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes: when displaying the first boundary content of the third display interface, displaying the sixth display interface in response to the operation of sliding the second boundary content in the opposite direction of the first boundary content or the operation of rotating the crown in a preset rotation direction.

[0092] For example, the first boundary content may be the top edge content of the third display interface, and the second boundary content may be the bottom edge content of the third display interface. Alternatively, the first boundary content may be the bottom edge content of the third display interface, and the second boundary content may be the top edge content of the third display interface.

[0093] The preset rotation direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0094] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device displays the first boundary content of the third display interface, that is, when the electronic device reaches the display limit, if the user continues to slide toward the second boundary or rotate the crown in a preset direction, the sixth display interface can be displayed. This technical solution facilitates the electronic device to conveniently switch from the third display interface to other display interfaces.

[0095] In one implementation, the third display interface is a list desktop, and the sixth display interface is an entrance to a chessboard desktop.

[0096] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display the entrance to the chessboard desktop on the list desktop according to the user's convenient operation, so that the electronic device can conveniently switch the display desktop.

[0098] In response to a user operation on the sixth display interface, displaying the sixth display interface or another display interface in full screen; or,

[0099] In response to a user operation on the third display interface, the third display interface is displayed in full screen.

[0100] According to the embodiment of the present application, after displaying the sixth display interface, if the user operates the sixth display interface, the electronic device can switch to full-screen display of the sixth display interface, such as a chessboard desktop; if the user does not operate on the sixth display interface but operates on the third display interface, the electronic device can cancel display of the sixth display interface and restore full-screen display of the third display interface. This can improve the fault tolerance of user operations.

[0101] In one implementation, before displaying the sixth display interface, the method further includes: the electronic device vibrates for a preset duration or displays an animation effect.

[0102] In this way, the electronic device can remind the user that a new sixth display interface is about to appear by vibrating for a preset duration or displaying an animation effect, thereby better providing a reminder to the user.

[0103] In one implementation, before displaying the sixth display interface, the method further includes: determining the sixth display interface based on first information; wherein the first information includes at least one of the following information: whether the electronic device is connected to other electronic devices; the location of the electronic device; time information; the user's habits of using the electronic device; or the content of the third display interface.

[0104] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can determine the content of the sixth display interface in a variety of ways, so that the display interface can be conveniently switched in a variety of scenarios, thereby improving the diversity of user usage.

[0105] In one implementation, if the electronic device is communicatively connected to a second electronic device for playing media, the sixth display interface is a display interface for controlling the playing of the media file.

[0173] The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect a SIM card.

[0174] In some examples, the electronic device may further include a crown, and the electronic device may recognize a user's rotation operation on the crown.

[0175] When a user wears a wearable electronic device, they often need to switch the display interface of the wearable electronic device. For example, the wearable electronic device switches the display interface of one application (Application, App) to the display interface of another application, or switches from one display desktop to another. The switching process often requires the user to perform multiple steps and is relatively cumbersome.

[0176] In view of this, the present application provides a display method and electronic device. In this technical solution, the electronic device can display the entrance or control card of another application according to the user's convenient operation, thereby facilitating the electronic device to conveniently control the other application, or the technical solution can enable the electronic device to conveniently switch the type of desktop displayed.

[0177] For ease of description, the present application embodiment is described by taking a smartwatch as an example. The following text will introduce the technical solution of the present application in conjunction with several sets of graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

[0178] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a set of GUIs provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (d) in Figure 2 illustrate a process of conveniently switching applications on an electronic device.

[0179] 2( a ), the GUI may be a display interface 250 of an electronic device. The display interface 250 may be used to display a dial or other display card of the electronic device.

[0180] For example, after the electronic device detects that the user slides the display interface 250 to the left, it may display a GUI as shown in (b) of FIG. 2 .

[0181] In other examples, the user's left swipe operation can also be replaced by rotating the crown, for example, counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0182] 2( b ), the GUI may be a display interface 260 of the electronic device. The display interface 260 may be a display interface or a function card of an application.

[0183] It is understandable that multiple function cards may be included between display interface 250 and display interface 260. The embodiment of the present application takes display interface 260 as the last function card displayed when the user slides the electronic device to the left as an example.

[0184] When the electronic device detects that the user continues to swipe left on the display interface 260, it may display the GUI shown in (c) of Figure 2. At this point, it can also be understood that the electronic device has reached the display limit, or the user has swiped left to the limit. In existing technical solutions, when the electronic device has reached the display limit and the user continues to swipe left, the electronic device will display a blank or will be unable to display any further content.

[0185] 2( c ), the electronic device may display a new display interface 270, and the display interface 270 may partially cover the display interface 260. The display interface 270 may gradually appear from the right side and cover part of the display interface 260 according to the sliding of the user's finger.

[0186] In other examples, when the electronic device displays the display interface 270, it can also prompt the user through vibration or animation effects, etc. The display interface 270 can also be called a display card, card, function card, portal, etc.

[0187] For example, the display interface 270 may cover 50% or 30% of the display interface 260 .

[0188] In one example, the display interface 270 may be predefined by the electronic device. For example, the content of the display interface 270 may be predefined in the electronic device, such as the display interface 270 may be a display interface of an application.

[0189] In another example, the display interface 270 may be user-defined. For example, the user may define the display interface 270 in the settings of the electronic device, or the user may also define the display interface 270 in a control application of the electronic device.

[0190] In another example, the display interface 270 may also be determined by the electronic device based on the first information. For example, the first information may be the connection status of the electronic device. When the electronic device determines based on the first information that the user is wearing a Bluetooth headset, the display interface 270 may be a music control interface. Alternatively, the first information may be a location. When the electronic device determines based on the first information that the user is currently in a gym, the display interface 270 may be a music control interface or a sports-related display interface. Alternatively, the first information may be time. When the electronic device determines based on the first information that the current date is a special date, such as the user's birthday, the display interface 270 may be a display interface for expressing birthday wishes.

[0191] The first information may also be other content such as the user's habits, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0192] In another example, the display interface 270 may also be a display interface related to the content of the display interface 260. For example, the display interface 260 is a display interface for exercise, and the display interface 270 may be a display interface for exercise suggestions.

[0193] When the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the display interface 270 , the electronic device may display a GUI as shown in (d) of FIG. 2 .

[0194] It should be understood that when the electronic device detects that the user has clicked on the display interface 260, it may display the GUI shown in FIG2(b). Alternatively, after a preset period of time, if the electronic device does not detect any user operation, it may display the GUI shown in FIG2(b). In this way, the electronic device can provide the user with a convenient entry to another application or function card, and when the user does not want to operate the display interface 270, they can easily return to the previous display interface.

[0195] Referring to (d) in FIG2 , the GUI may be a display interface 280 of the electronic device. The display interface 280 may be a full-screen display interface 270, or the display interface 280 may be another display interface of an application corresponding to the display interface 270, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0196] Based on an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device detects that the user has continuously swiped to one side of the display screen to the last card that the electronic device can display, it can display another preset or recommended display interface in a semi-modal manner, thereby providing the user with a convenient entry to operate other applications. In addition, the electronic device can display the display interface of another application in full screen in response to the electronic device clicking on another display interface, thereby allowing the electronic device to conveniently switch to another application.

[0197] It should be understood that in other examples, when the electronic device detects that the user has clicked the display interface 270, the display interface 280 may not be displayed in full screen, but may replace the content of the original display interface 270. Alternatively, the electronic device may respond to the user's click operation within the original display interface 270. For example, if the display interface 270 is a music control display interface, when the electronic device detects that the user has clicked the play music function button in the display interface 270, the play music function button may be displayed from a non-playing state to a playing state.

[0198] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of another set of GUIs provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (d) in Figure 3 illustrate a process of conveniently displaying application portals on an electronic device.

[0199] It should be understood that (a) to (c) in FIG. 3 can refer to the relevant descriptions of (a) to (c) in FIG. 2 , and for the sake of brevity, they are not repeated here.

[0200] After the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the display interface 260 , it may display a GUI as shown in (d) of FIG. 3 .

[0201] Referring to (d) in FIG. 3 , the GUI is a display interface 260 of the electronic device.

[0202] In this way, when the electronic device detects that the user continuously slides to one side on the display screen to the last card that the electronic device can display, it can display another preset or recommended display interface in a semi-modal manner. When the user clicks on an area other than the other display interface, the electronic device can cancel the display of the other display interface, so that when the user does not want to operate on the other display interface, he can easily return to the previous display interface.

[0203] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of another set of GUIs provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (c) in Figure 4 illustrate a process of conveniently switching applications on an electronic device.

[0204] 4( a ), the GUI may be a display interface 210 of an electronic device. The display interface 210 may be used to display a dial or other display card of the electronic device.

[0205] After the electronic device detects the user sliding to the right on the display interface 210 , it may display a GUI as shown in (b) of FIG. 4 .

[0206] In other examples, the above-mentioned right-swiping operation of the user can also be replaced by rotating the crown, for example, counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0207] 4( b ), the GUI may be a display interface 210 of an electronic device. The display interface 210 may be a display interface or a function card of an application.

[0208] It is understandable that multiple function cards may be included between the display interface 210 and the display interface 220. The embodiment of the present application takes the display interface 220 as the last function card displayed when the user slides the electronic device to the right as an example.

[0209] When the electronic device detects that the user continues to slide to the right on the display interface 220 , it may display a GUI as shown in (c) in FIG. 4 .

[0210] 4( c ), the electronic device may display a new display interface 230, and the display interface 230 may partially cover the display interface 220. The display interface 230 may gradually appear from the left side and cover part of the display interface 220 according to the sliding of the user's finger.

[0211] In other examples, when displaying the display interface 230 , the electronic device may also prompt the user through vibration or animation effects.

[0212] It should be understood that the display interface 230 can refer to the relevant description of the display interface 270 in the above text.

[0213] After the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the display interface 230 , it may display a GUI as shown in (d) of FIG. 4 .

[0214] It should be understood that after the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the display interface 220 , it may display the GUI shown in (b) in FIG. 4 .

[0215] Referring to (d) in FIG4 , the GUI may be a display interface 240 of the electronic device. The display interface 240 may be a full-screen display interface 230, or the display interface 240 may be another display interface of an application corresponding to the display interface 230, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0216] It should be understood that in other examples, after the electronic device detects that the user clicks the display interface 230, the display interface 240 may not be displayed in full screen, but may replace the content of the original display interface 230. Alternatively, the electronic device may also respond to the user's click operation in the original display interface 230.

[0217] Based on an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device detects that the user has continuously swiped to one side of the display screen to the last card that the electronic device can display, it can display another preset or recommended display interface in a semi-modal manner, thereby providing the user with a convenient entry to operate other applications. In addition, the electronic device can display the display interface of another application in full screen in response to the electronic device clicking on another display interface, thereby allowing the electronic device to conveniently switch to another application.

[0218] In some cases, when a user switches from one display desktop type to another, multiple steps are required, which is cumbersome. This application provides a technical solution that can easily switch display desktops. The following describes this technical solution in conjunction with Figures 5-8.

[0219] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of another set of GUIs provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (c) in Figure 5 illustrate a process of conveniently switching the display desktop of an electronic device.

[0220] 5( a ), the GUI may be a display interface 310 of a list desktop of an electronic device. The display interface 310 may include App1 to App6 .

[0221] The display interface 310 may include App1 to App6. It can be understood that only App1 to App6 can be displayed on the current display screen of the electronic device. The electronic device may also include more apps, which are not displayed on the display interface 310. However, as the user slides, the electronic device can display them on the display screen.

[0222] It should be understood that App1 is the first App displayed on the display desktop of the electronic device.

[0223] After the electronic device detects that the user slides downward on the display interface 310 , it may display a GUI as shown in (b) of FIG. 5 .

[0224] It should be understood that the above-mentioned sliding operation can be replaced by rotating the crown, for example, sliding the crown counterclockwise.

[0225] Referring to FIG. 5( b ), a display interface 320 showing an entrance to a chessboard desktop is displayed on the display interface 310 , and the display interface 320 partially covers the display interface 310 .

[0226] The display interface 320 may gradually appear from above the display interface 310 following the user's sliding operation and cover part of the display interface 310. Alternatively, the display interface 320 may also be displayed in response to the user's sliding operation, similar to a mask on the display interface 310.

[0227] In some examples, the display interface 320 may also be translucent.

[0228] It is understandable that the display interface 320 can be considered as a quick entry to switch to the chessboard desktop.

[0229] In other examples, the display interface 320 may also be a part of the list desktop, located above App 1. In this case, the first item displayed on the list desktop is a quick entry to switch to the chessboard desktop.

[0230] When the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the display interface 320 , it may display a GUI as shown in (c) of FIG. 5 .

[0231] In other examples, when the electronic device detects a user clicking on the display interface 310, the GUI shown in FIG5(a) may be displayed. Alternatively, after a preset period of time, if the electronic device does not detect any user operation, the GUI shown in FIG5(a) may be displayed. In this way, when the user's operation reaches a limit, a quick switching entry is provided for the user to choose whether to switch or not.

[0232] Referring to (c) in FIG. 5 , the GUI may be a display interface 330 of a chessboard desktop of the electronic device, and the display interface 330 may include application icons of multiple applications in the electronic device.

[0233] The display interface 330 may further display the name of the App below the application icon, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0234] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can conveniently switch from the list desktop to the chessboard desktop, thereby improving the user's operation efficiency and usage experience.

[0235] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of another set of GUIs provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (d) in Figure 6 illustrate a process of conveniently switching the display desktop of an electronic device.

[0236] Among them, (a) in Figure 6 can refer to the relevant description of (a) in Figure 5, and for the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0237] For example, it is assumed that a total of eight application programs, App1 to App8, are installed in the electronic device, and App1 to App6 are displayed in the display interface 310 .

[0238] After the electronic device detects the user sliding upward on the display interface 310 , it may display a GUI as shown in FIG. 6( b ).

[0239] Referring to FIG. 6( b ), the display interface 310 displays App 3 to App 8 as the user slides.

[0240] When the electronic device detects that the user continues to slide upward on the display interface 310 , it may display a GUI as shown in (c) of FIG. 6 .

[0241] Referring to FIG. 6 ( c ), a display interface 340 showing an entrance to the chessboard desktop is displayed on the display interface 310 , and the display interface 340 partially covers the display interface 310 .

[0242] The display interface 340 may gradually appear from the bottom of the display interface 310 following the user's upward sliding operation and cover part of the display interface 310. Alternatively, the display interface 340 may also be displayed in response to the user's upward sliding operation, similar to a mask on the display interface 310.

[0243] It should be understood that in the existing technical solution, when the display interface 310 displays App3 to App8, when the user continues to slide upward on the display interface 310, it will be considered that the user has slid to the limit and cannot continue to slide. The electronic device will display part of the background color or white or will not be able to continue displaying content.

[0244] In the present application, when the user has slid to the limit, the electronic device can display an entrance for conveniently switching the display desktop, thereby facilitating the user's operation to switch the electronic device from one type of display desktop to another type of display desktop.

[0245] After the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the display interface 340 , it may display a GUI as shown in (d) of FIG. 6 .

[0246] In other examples, when the electronic device detects a user clicking on the display interface 310, the GUI shown in FIG6(b) may be displayed. Alternatively, after a preset period of time, if the electronic device does not detect any user operation, the GUI shown in FIG6(b) may be displayed. In this way, when the user's operation reaches a limit, a quick switching entry is provided for the user to choose whether to switch or not.

[0247] Referring to (d) in FIG6 , the GUI may be a display interface 330 of a chessboard desktop of the electronic device, and the display interface 330 may include application icons of multiple applications in the electronic device.

[0248] The display interface 330 may further display the name of the App below the application icon, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0249] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can conveniently switch from the list desktop to the chessboard desktop, thereby improving the user's operation efficiency and usage experience.

[0250] Similarly, this application also provides a technical solution for users to easily switch from the chessboard desktop to the list desktop. The following will combine the technical solution of Figures 7-8.

[0251] For example, Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a GUI provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (d) in Figure 7 illustrate a process of conveniently switching the display desktop of an electronic device.

[0252] 7 (a), the GUI may be a chessboard desktop display interface 410 of the electronic device. For example, the display interface 410 may include icons of multiple applications in the electronic device. The multiple applications are part of the applications in the electronic device.

[0253] In other examples, the display interface 410 may also include the name of the application.

[0254] It should be understood that (a) in FIG. 7 , (d) in FIG. 6 , and (c) in FIG. 5 may be the same display interface.

[0255] Due to the limitations of the display screen of the electronic device, only some applications can be displayed at one time. The user can shrink the application icons by sliding two fingers in opposite directions on the display screen, so that the electronic device can display more applications at one time.

[0256] After the electronic device detects the user sliding two fingers in opposite directions on the display screen, it may display a GUI as shown in FIG. 7 ( b ).

[0257] It is understandable that the two-finger sliding operation can also be replaced by rotating the crown, for example, rotating the crown clockwise.

[0258] 7( b ), the GUI may be a chessboard desktop display interface 420 of the electronic device. The display interface 420 includes more application icons than the display interface 410 .

[0259] When the electronic device continues to slide in opposite directions with two fingers on the display interface 420 and the application icon is reduced to a point where it cannot be further reduced, a GUI as shown in (c) of FIG. 7 may be displayed.

[0260] Referring to FIG. 7 ( c ), a display interface 430 showing an entrance to the list desktop is displayed on the display interface 420 , and the display interface 430 partially covers the display interface 420 .

[0261] In the prior art, when the icons on an electronic device are minimized, if the user continues to swipe in opposite directions with two fingers on the display interface 420, the electronic device will no longer respond to the user's operation and the display interface 420 will no longer change. In this application, in this case, the electronic device can display a convenient entrance to switch the display desktop, thereby improving the user experience and avoiding the situation where the operation cannot be performed.

[0262] It should be understood that the display interface 430 of the list desktop can be displayed as translucent or opaque, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0263] After the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the display interface 430 , it may display a GUI as shown in (d) of FIG. 7 .

[0264] In other examples, when the electronic device detects a user clicking on the display interface 420, it may display the GUI shown in FIG7(b). Alternatively, after a preset period of time, if the electronic device does not detect any user operation, it may display the GUI shown in FIG7(b). In this way, when the user's operation reaches a limit, a quick switching entry is provided for the user to choose whether to switch or not.

[0265] 7( d ), the GUI may be a display interface 310 of a list desktop of an electronic device. The display interface 310 may include App1 to App6 .

[0266] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can conveniently switch from the chessboard desktop to the list desktop, thereby improving the user's operation efficiency and usage experience.

[0267] It should be understood that the display interfaces 410 and 420 may also be other display interfaces besides the chessboard desktop. For example, the display interface 410 may also be a display interface of other applications.

[0268] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of another GUI provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (d) in Figure 8 illustrate a process of conveniently switching the display desktop of an electronic device.

[0269] Among them, (a) in Figure 8 can refer to the relevant description of (a) in Figure 7, and for the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0270] The user can enlarge the application icon by sliding two fingers in opposite directions on the display screen, so that the electronic device can display fewer applications at a time.

[0271] When the electronic device detects the user sliding two fingers in opposite directions on the display interface 410 , the electronic device may display a GUI as shown in FIG. 8( b ).

[0272] It is understandable that the operation of sliding the two fingers in opposite directions can also be replaced by rotating the crown, for example, rotating the crown counterclockwise.

[0273] 8( b ), the GUI may be a chessboard desktop display interface 440 of the electronic device. The display interface 440 includes fewer application icons than the display interface 410 .

[0274] When the electronic device continues to slide in opposite directions with two fingers on the display interface 440 and the icon of the application program is enlarged to the point where it cannot be enlarged any further, a GUI as shown in (c) of FIG. 8 may be displayed.

[0275] Referring to (c) of FIG8 , a display interface 450 showing an entrance to the list desktop is displayed on the display interface 440 , and the display interface 450 partially covers the display interface 440 .

[0276] After the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the display interface 450 , it may display a GUI as shown in (d) of FIG. 8 .

[0277] In other examples, when the electronic device detects a user clicking on display interface 440, it may display a GUI as shown in FIG8(b). Alternatively, after a preset period of time, if the electronic device does not detect any user operation, it may display a GUI as shown in FIG8(b). In this way, when the user's operation reaches a limit, a quick switching entry is provided for the user to choose whether to switch or not.

[0278] 8( d ), the GUI may be a display interface 310 of a list desktop of an electronic device. The display interface 310 may include App1 to App6 .

[0279] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can conveniently switch from the chessboard desktop to the list desktop, thereby improving the user's operation efficiency and usage experience.

[0280] It should be understood that the display interfaces 410 and 440 may also be other display interfaces besides the chessboard desktop. For example, the display interface 410 may also be a display interface of other applications.

[0281] It is understandable that the above-mentioned Figures 5-6 can be combined with Figures 7-8 or implemented separately, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0282] In some cases, the electronic device can also conveniently switch the display interface of different applications by recognizing the user's gestures. This technical solution will be described below in conjunction with Figure 9.

[0283] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of a set of GUIs provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (b) in Figure 9 illustrate the process of a user switching display interfaces through gestures.

[0284] 9( a ), the GUI is a display interface 510 of the electronic device. The display interface may be a display interface when the user is performing gesture A, or may be a display interface when the user is not performing any gesture.

[0285] When the electronic device detects that the user's gesture is gesture B, it may display the GUI shown in FIG. 9( b ).

[0286] Exemplarily, the gesture B is making a fist, rubbing fingers, double-clicking, etc.

[0287] The electronic device can determine the user's gesture based on data from multiple sensors. For example, the electronic device may include multiple sensors such as an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and an optical heart rate sensor. By acquiring data from these multiple sensors, the electronic device can determine different user gestures.

[0288] Exemplarily, referring to (b) in FIG9 , a display interface 520 is displayed above the display interface 510 , and the display interface 520 partially covers the display interface 510 .

[0289] It is understandable that the display interface 520 can also be displayed below, to the left, to the right, or in the middle of the display screen and cover part of the display interface 510, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0290] It is understood that the gesture B may be a preset gesture, wherein each preset gesture may correspond to a different display interface 520. For example, when the gesture B is a fist, the display interface is a music control display interface; when the gesture B is rubbing the fingers, the display interface is a sports display interface, and so on.

[0291] Alternatively, the display interface 520 corresponding to the gesture may also be recommended to the user by the electronic device based on the first information. For details, please refer to the relevant description in the above text.

[0292] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can display a convenient entrance to the display interface of another application by recognizing the user's gesture, thereby providing a good experience for the user.

[0293] In some cases, the electronic device can intelligently recommend a new display interface to the user based on the first information. The electronic device can trigger the display of the new display interface based on the user's operation or gesture. Alternatively, the electronic device can directly display the new display interface for the user to select after determining the new display interface based on the first information.

[0294] For example, users often need to listen to music while wearing electronic devices while exercising. In existing solutions, users must first find a music app in the electronic device and click on it before the electronic device displays the music control interface. This requires the user to complete multiple steps and is a cumbersome process. The technical solution of the present application can enable users to conveniently control music while wearing electronic devices while exercising. The following will introduce this technical solution with reference to Figures 10-11.

[0295] For example, Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of a set of GUIs provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (c) in Figure 10 illustrate a process of conveniently controlling music by an electronic device.

[0296] Referring to (a) in FIG. 10 , the GUI may be a display interface 610 of an electronic device.

[0297] As an example, the display interface 610 may be any display interface of an electronic device.

[0298] As another example, the display interface 610 may be a display interface corresponding to a list desktop.

[0299] As another example, the display interface 610 may also be a display interface corresponding to motion.

[0300] When the electronic device determines that the user is wearing a Bluetooth headset, after detecting that the user rotates the crown counterclockwise, the electronic device may display a GUI as shown in (b) of FIG. 10 .

[0301] For example, an electronic device is connected to a Bluetooth headset. When a user wears the Bluetooth headset, the Bluetooth headset can detect the user wearing the headset through a sensor. When it is determined that the Bluetooth headset is being worn, an instruction or indication information can be sent to the electronic device to indicate that the Bluetooth headset is being worn by the user. After receiving the instruction or indication information, the electronic device can determine that the user is wearing the Bluetooth headset and that the user may have a need to listen to music. The electronic device can then display a GUI as shown in (b) of Figure 10.

[0302] For another example, an electronic device (such as a smartwatch) is connected to another electronic device (such as a smart phone) via Bluetooth, and the other electronic device is connected to a Bluetooth headset. When a user wears a Bluetooth headset, the Bluetooth headset can perform in-ear detection through a sensor. When it is determined that the Bluetooth headset is worn, an instruction or indication information can be sent to the other electronic device to indicate that the Bluetooth headset is worn by the user. After the other electronic device receives the instruction or indication information and sends the instruction or indication information or information for instructing the user to wear the Bluetooth headset to the electronic device, the electronic device can determine that the user is wearing the Bluetooth headset and the user may have a need to listen to music. The electronic device can then display a GUI as shown in (b) of Figure 10.

[0303] It should be understood that the Bluetooth headset can also be replaced with a wired headset, etc.

[0304] In other examples, if the electronic device determines that the user is wearing a Bluetooth headset, the electronic device may further display a GUI as shown in FIG10(b) based on the recognized user gesture. Alternatively, if the electronic device determines that the user is wearing a Bluetooth headset, the electronic device may further display a GUI as shown in FIG10(b) based on the user's sliding operation. Alternatively, if the electronic device determines that the user is wearing a Bluetooth headset, the electronic device may further directly display the GUI as shown in FIG10(b).

[0305] 10( b ), a music control display interface 620 may be displayed above the display interface 610 . The display interface 620 may include at least a music control card 621 .

[0306] For example, the card 621 may include the name of the last played music "Music 1", a previous music function button, a next music function button, and a play / pause function button 6211. In other examples, the card 621 may also include other content, such as the singer of Music 1, the cover of Music 1, etc.

[0307] In other examples, the display interface 620 may also include a card 622 for controlling noise reduction of a Bluetooth headset.

[0308] In other examples, the display interface 620 may also be displayed at other locations of the display interface 610 .

[0309] In other examples, after the electronic device detects that the user clicks on the display decryption button 610 , the display interface 620 may be canceled, that is, the electronic device may display the GUI shown in (a) of FIG. 10 .

[0310] For example, after the electronic device detects that the user clicks the play / pause function button 6211 , it may display a GUI as shown in (c) in FIG. 10 .

[0311] 10 (c), the play / pause function button 6211 changes from the pause state to the play state. At the same time, the electronic device can respond to the user's click operation and start playing the music 1 or continue playing the music 1 according to the historical play record.

[0312] It should be understood that when the electronic device detects that the user clicks the previous music function button, it can switch to the previous music of Music 1; when the electronic device detects that the user clicks the next music function button, it can switch to the next music of Music 1.

[0313] In other examples, after the electronic device detects that the user clicks on card 622, it can send an instruction to the Bluetooth headset to instruct the Bluetooth headset to turn on the noise reduction function.

[0314] Based on the embodiments of the present application, when the electronic device determines that the user is wearing Bluetooth headphones, the music control display interface can be displayed in response to the user's operation of rotating the crown. Therefore, when the user needs to control music, the music control card can be displayed through the user's convenient operation to provide the user with music control. This technical solution can avoid the user's multiple tedious steps of finding the music app on the electronic device and clicking on the music app to start music control, thereby improving the user's operating efficiency and experience.

[0315] For example, Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of a set of GUIs provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (c) in Figure 11 illustrate a process of conveniently controlling music by an electronic device.

[0316] Among them, (a) in Figure 11 can refer to the relevant description of (a) in Figure 10, and for the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0317] When the electronic device detects that the user rotates the crown clockwise, it may display a GUI as shown in (b) in FIG11 .

[0318] In other examples, if the electronic device determines that the user is wearing a Bluetooth headset, the electronic device may further display a GUI as shown in FIG11(b) based on the recognized user gesture. Alternatively, if the electronic device determines that the user is wearing a Bluetooth headset, the electronic device may further display a GUI as shown in FIG11(b) based on the user's sliding operation. Alternatively, if the electronic device determines that the user is wearing a Bluetooth headset, the electronic device may further directly display the GUI as shown in FIG11(b).

[0319] 11( b ), a music control display interface 620 may be displayed below the display interface 610 . The display interface 620 may include at least a music control card 621 .

[0320] It should be understood that the display interface 620 can refer to the relevant description in the above text.

[0321] For (c) in FIG11 , please refer to the relevant description in the previous text, and for the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0322] Based on the embodiments of the present application, when the electronic device determines that the user is wearing Bluetooth headphones, the music control display interface can be displayed in response to the user's operation of rotating the crown. Therefore, when the user needs to control music, the music control card can be displayed through the user's convenient operation to provide the user with music control. This technical solution can avoid the user's multiple tedious steps of finding the music app on the electronic device and clicking on the music app to start music control, thereby improving the user's operating efficiency and experience.

[0323] When the first information is time, the electronic device can intelligently recommend a new display interface to the user based on the time. The electronic device can trigger the display of the new display interface based on the user's operation or gesture. Alternatively, the electronic device can directly display the new display interface after determining the new display interface based on the time for the user to select. This technical solution will be described below in conjunction with Figures 12-13.

[0324] The time may be a specific date, such as the user's birthday or a holiday, or a point in time, such as midnight on the Spring Festival.

[0325] For example, Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of a set of GUIs provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (b) in Figure 12 illustrate a process in which an electronic device displays holiday greetings according to time in response to a user's operation.

[0326] Referring to (a) in FIG. 12 , the GUI may be a display interface 710 of an electronic device.

[0327] It should be understood that the display interface 710 can refer to the relevant description of the display interface 610 in the above text.

[0328] In some examples, when the display interface 710 is a list desktop, when the electronic device detects that the user slides down to the top of the list desktop in the display interface 710, a GUI as shown in (b) in Figure 12 can be displayed.

[0329] The above-mentioned sliding operation can be replaced by rotating the crown, for example, rotating the crown counterclockwise.

[0330] In some examples, when the display interface 710 is a checkerboard desktop, when the electronic device detects that the user has enlarged an icon in the display interface 710 to the maximum size that the electronic device can display or reduced an icon to the minimum size that the electronic device can display, a GUI as shown in (b) in Figure 12 can be displayed.

[0331] In some examples, the display interface 710 can also be any display interface of the electronic device, such as a watch face, a display desktop, an application display interface, etc. When the electronic device detects a user's preset gesture (such as making a fist, rubbing fingers, etc.), it can display a GUI as shown in (b) in Figure 12.

[0332] Referring to (b) of FIG. 12 , the electronic device displays a display interface 720 above the display interface 710 , and the display interface 720 partially covers the display interface 710 .

[0333] The display interface 720 may display holiday greeting easter eggs or holiday greeting animations, etc. It should be understood that the display interface 720 may also be displayed below, on the left or on the right side of the display screen, etc.

[0334] For example, the electronic device may determine the content of display interface 720 based on the current date. For example, if the electronic device determines from the calendar that the current date is the user's birthday or the birthday of someone else marked by the user, then display interface 720 may display a birthday greeting animation or Easter eggs. Alternatively, if the electronic device determines from the calendar that the current date is Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, etc., then display interface 720 may display Mid-Autumn Festival or Double Ninth Festival greeting animations or Easter eggs.

[0335] In other examples, under the current date, the electronic device can also display the display interface 720 according to the user's wrist raising operation, so as to remind the user of the current special date and bring a good experience to the user.

[0336] In other examples, the electronic device may also display the display interface 720 based on the current time point. For example, when the electronic device determines that the current time is midnight of the Spring Festival, the display interface 720 may be automatically displayed without any user operation, thereby bringing a sense of ritual to the user and enhancing the user experience.

[0337] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can respond to the user's operation and intelligently recommend a display interface related to the date to the user according to the time, thereby providing the user with reminders of special dates and bringing a good experience to the user.

[0338] Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of another set of GUIs provided by an embodiment of the present application, wherein (a) to (b) of Figure 13 illustrate a process in which an electronic device displays holiday greetings according to time in response to a user's operation.

[0339] Among them, (a) in Figure 13 can refer to the relevant description of (a) in Figure 12.

[0340] Referring to (b) of FIG. 13 , the electronic device displays a display interface 730 above the display interface 710 , and the display interface 730 partially covers the display interface 710 .

[0341] For example, the electronic device may determine the content of display interface 730 based on the current date. Holiday greetings may be displayed in display interface 730. For example, if the current date is the user's birthday, the holiday greeting may be "Happy Birthday"; or if the current date is Mid-Autumn Festival, the holiday greeting may be "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

[0342] It should be understood that the display interface 730 can also be displayed below, on the left or right side of the display screen.

[0343] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can respond to the user's operation and intelligently recommend a display interface related to the date to the user according to the time, thereby providing the user with reminders of special dates and bringing a good experience to the user.

[0344] It is understandable that the various technical solutions in Figures 2 to 13 above can be used in combination with each other, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0345] FIG14 is a schematic flow chart of a display method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG14 , the method 800 can be applied to an electronic device, and the method 800 can include steps 810 to 850.

[0346] 810. The electronic device determines whether a trigger condition is met in the first display interface.

[0347] Exemplarily, the first display interface may be a display desktop, for example, the first display interface is a list desktop. The trigger condition may include at least one of the following conditions:

[0348] Recognizes the preset gesture;

[0349] The top of the list desktop is displayed at the top of the display, and a downward swipe or counterclockwise rotation of the crown is detected; or,

[0350] The bottom of the list desktop is displayed at the bottom of the display screen, and an operation of the user swiping upward or rotating the crown clockwise is detected.

[0351] Exemplarily, the first display interface may be a display desktop, for example, a chessboard desktop. The trigger condition may include at least one of the following conditions:

[0352] Recognizes the preset gesture;

[0353] When the size of the App icon displayed in the first display interface is the largest, a user's two-finger sliding in the opposite direction or rotating the crown counterclockwise is detected; or

[0354] When the size of the App icon displayed in the first display interface is minimized, an operation of a user sliding two fingers in opposite directions or rotating the crown clockwise is detected.

[0355] Exemplarily, the first display interface may be a watch dial, and the trigger condition may include at least one of the following conditions:

[0356] Recognizes the preset gesture;

[0357] In the case where it is detected that the user continuously slides to one side (such as to the right) to the last card that the electronic device can display, it is detected that the user continues to slide to one side (such as to the right); or,

[0358] When it is detected that the user rotates the crown in a first direction (such as counterclockwise) to the last card that the electronic device can display, it is detected that the user continues to rotate the crown in the first direction (such as counterclockwise).

[0359] 820. If the trigger condition is met, the electronic device determines the content of the second display interface according to the first information.

[0360] The first information may include the connection status of the electronic device, the location of the electronic device, time, content of the first display interface, etc.

[0361] For example, the electronic device is connected to a Bluetooth headset, and the first information may include the connection status. The electronic device may determine, based on the first information, that the second display interface includes a music control card.

[0362] For example, if the current location of the electronic device is a gym, the electronic device may determine, based on the first information, that the second display interface includes a music control card or a sports control card.

[0363] For example, if the electronic device determines that the current date is a holiday, the electronic device may determine, based on the first information, that the second display interface includes holiday greeting easter eggs, holiday greetings, or holiday animations.

[0364] For example, if the first display interface currently displayed by the electronic device is a list desktop, the electronic device can determine that the second display interface is a chessboard desktop based on the first information; or if the first display interface currently displayed by the electronic device is a chessboard desktop, the electronic device can determine that the second display interface is a list desktop based on the first information. Alternatively, if the content of the first display interface is Sports 1, the second display interface can be Sports 2 or sports suggestions, etc.

[0365] 830. The electronic device displays a second display interface, and the second display interface partially covers the first display interface.

[0366] For example, the second display interface may cover 30%, 20%, or 50% of the first display interface, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0367] Exemplarily, referring to (b) in FIG. 5 , the second display interface may be the display interface 320 , the first display interface may be the display interface 310 , and the display interface 320 may partially cover the display interface 310 .

[0368] Exemplarily, referring to (c) in FIG. 6 , the second display interface may be the display interface 340 , the first display interface may be the display interface 310 , and the display interface 340 may partially cover the display interface 310 .

[0369] 840. In response to the user's operation A on the second display interface, the electronic device displays another display interface within the second display interface or displays another display interface in full screen.

[0370] For example, operation A may be a user clicking on the second display interface. When the electronic device detects the user clicking on the second display interface, it may display another display interface within the second display interface or display the other display interface in full screen. At this point, it can be understood that the electronic device has switched to the display interface of another application.

[0371] 850 , in response to user operation B on the first display interface, display the first display interface in full screen.

[0372] For example, the operation B may be a user clicking on the first display interface. When the electronic device detects the user clicking on the first display interface, it may display the first display interface in full screen. At this point, it can be understood that the electronic device has not switched to the display interface of another application.

[0373] In other examples, after step 830, if the electronic device does not detect any user operation within a preset time period, the second display interface may be canceled and the first display interface may be displayed in full screen.

[0374] It is understandable that step 840 and step 850 are parallel steps. In actual application scenarios, the electronic device will execute one of step 840 or step 850 according to the user's operation.

[0375] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can determine whether a preset condition is met in the first display interface; and when the preset condition is met, determine the content of the second display interface, and display the second display interface with the second display interface partially covering the first display interface; when the user operates the second display interface, the electronic device can switch to the display interface of the application corresponding to the second display interface so that the electronic device can conveniently switch to the display interface of another application, or the second display interface can directly respond to the user's operation, so that the user can conveniently operate other applications.

[0376] In addition, when the user operates the first display interface or does not perform any operation on the electronic device after a preset period of time, the electronic device can cancel the display of the second display interface, so that the electronic device can easily switch back to the original display interface to avoid affecting the user's normal use of the electronic device.

[0377] FIG15 is a schematic flow chart of a display method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG15 , the method 900 can be applied to an electronic device, and the method 900 can include steps 910 to 920.

[0378] 910. The electronic device displays a first display interface, where the first display interface includes display elements, and the size of the display elements is variable.

[0379] Exemplarily, the display element may include an icon of the application program. Alternatively, the display element may include the icon of the application program and the name of the application program.

[0380] The variable size of the display element can be understood as the size of the display element can be increased or decreased with the operation.

[0381] 920. When a trigger condition is met, the electronic device displays a second display interface.

[0382] The trigger conditions include:

[0383] When the size of the display element reaches the maximum size, a first operation is detected, where the first operation is an operation that can trigger the size of the display element to increase when the size of the display element is not the maximum size; or

[0384] When the size of the display element reaches the minimum size, a second operation is detected. The second operation is an operation that can trigger the size of the display element to be reduced when the size of the display element is not the minimum size.

[0385] It should be understood that the size of the display element of the electronic device reaches the maximum size, which may be achieved by the electronic device in response to the user's operation of enlarging the display element, or it may be the initial state of the electronic device; the size of the display element of the electronic device reaches the minimum size, which may be achieved by the electronic device in response to the user's operation of reducing the display element, or it may be the initial state of the electronic device, and this application does not limit it.

[0386] For example, the operation of enlarging the size of the display element may include a two-finger zoom-in operation, a three-finger zoom-in operation, or a five-finger zoom-in operation, etc. The operation of reducing the size of the display element may include a two-finger zoom-out operation, a three-finger zoom-out operation, or a five-finger zoom-out operation, etc.

[0387] The operation of enlarging the size of the display element may also be an operation of rotating the crown in a first rotation direction. The operation of reducing the size of the display element may also be an operation of rotating the crown in a second rotation direction.

[0388] The first rotation direction is opposite to the second rotation direction.

[0389] The first rotation direction may be clockwise or counterclockwise. The second rotation direction may be counterclockwise or clockwise. It should be understood that if the first rotation direction is clockwise, the second rotation direction is counterclockwise, and if the first rotation direction is counterclockwise, the second rotation direction is clockwise.

[0390] The first operation and the second operation may also be operations such as the user making a fist, rubbing fingers, double-clicking, waving, or clicking. When the size of the display element of the electronic device reaches the maximum or minimum size, the electronic device may display the second display interface through the above gestures, thereby improving the convenience of switching display interfaces and enhancing the user's operating experience.

[0391] It should be understood that the size of a display element can also include a stable state and a temporary state. For example, the minimum size of a display element in a stable state can be size A1, and the maximum size can be size A3. The temporary state can mean that the display element can continue to shrink slightly to size B1 based on the minimum size A1 as the user zooms out, but when the user stops zooming out, the display element can be displayed at the minimum size A1 in the stable state. Similarly, the display element can continue to expand slightly to size B3 based on the maximum size A3 as the user zooms in, but when the user stops zooming in, the display element can be displayed at the maximum size B3 in the stable state. In this way, when the size of a display element reaches the limit size in the stable state, as the user continues to operate in the direction of the limit size, the display element can enter a temporary state. When the user stops operating, the display element rebounds to the stable state, thereby providing a certain buffering effect for the user's operation.

[0392] In this case, the maximum size may be the size B3 in the temporary state, and the minimum size may be the size B1 in the temporary state.

[0393] It should also be understood that if the size of the display element does not include a temporary state, the maximum size may be the maximum size A3 in the stable state, and the minimum size may be the minimum size A1 in the stable state.

[0394] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the size of a display element reaches a maximum size, if the user continues to perform an operation to enlarge the size of the display element, a second display interface may be displayed. Alternatively, when the size of a display element reaches a minimum size, if the user continues to perform an operation to reduce the size of the display element, a second display interface may be displayed.

[0395] In this way, when the display elements in the first display interface reach their maximum or minimum size, the electronic device can display the second display interface according to the user's zoom-in or zoom-out operation, thereby enabling the electronic device to conveniently switch display interfaces. In addition, this technical solution can also enhance the user's interactive experience with the electronic device.

[0396] In some embodiments, the first display interface is a chessboard desktop, the display elements include application icons, and the second display interface is an entrance to a list desktop.

[0397] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 7 , the first display interface may be display interface 420 , and the second display interface may be display interface 430 .

[0398] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 8 , the first display interface may be display interface 440 , and the second display interface may be display interface 450 .

[0399] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the first display interface is a chessboard desktop, and the second display interface is an entrance to the list desktop, so that the electronic device can provide an entrance to switch from the chessboard desktop to the list desktop through convenient operations of the user, so as to facilitate the user to conveniently switch the display desktop of the electronic device.

[0400] Optionally, when the size of the application icon reaches the maximum size, the third display interface may further include the name of the application.

[0401] This technical solution helps users understand the information of the currently displayed application and helps users accurately find the required application.

[0402] In some embodiments, the second display interface covers a portion of the first display interface.

[0403] The second display interface covers part of the first display interface, which can also be understood as the second display interface not completely covering the first display interface. For example, the second display interface covers a preset percentage of the first display interface, such as 30% or 50%.

[0404] The first display interface and the second display interface may belong to the same application. For example, the application is a desktop application, the first display interface may be a list desktop, and the second display interface may be a chessboard desktop.

[0405] The first display interface and the second display interface may also belong to different applications.

[0406] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the second display interface covers a portion of the first display interface, providing users with multiple options. Users can choose to operate on the first display interface or the second display interface, which provides flexibility in user operations. In addition, the second display interface covering a portion of the first display interface can also improve the fault tolerance of user operations and avoid directly displaying the second display interface in full screen, which would affect the user's original operation.

[0407] In some embodiments, the first operation includes: an operation detected in the display screen for enlarging the size of a display element, or an operation of rotating the crown in a first rotation direction; the second operation includes: an operation detected in the display screen for reducing the size of a display element, or an operation of rotating the crown in a second rotation direction.

[0408] It should be understood that the operation detected in the display screen for enlarging the size of the display element can be the two-finger zoom-in, three-finger zoom-in operation mentioned above, etc.; the operation detected in the display screen for reducing the size of the display element can be the two-finger zoom-out, three-finger zoom-out operation mentioned above, etc.

[0409] For example, referring to Figure 7 , the operation for reducing the size of a displayed element may be a zoom-out operation performed by a user using two fingers on the display screen. Referring to Figure 8 , the operation for enlarging the size of a displayed element may be a zoom-in operation performed by a user using two fingers on the display screen.

[0410] Based on the embodiment of the present application, both the first operation and the second operation may include multiple operations, thereby improving the flexibility of user operations.

[0411] In some embodiments, before displaying the first display interface, the method 900 further includes:

[0412] When the first boundary content of the third display interface is displayed, in response to an operation of sliding toward the second boundary content in the opposite direction of the first boundary content or an operation of rotating the crown in a preset rotation direction, an entrance to the first display interface is displayed;

[0413] Displaying the first display interface includes: displaying the first display interface in response to a user operation on an entrance to the first display interface.

[0414] For example, the first boundary content may be the top edge content of the third display interface, and the second boundary content may be the bottom edge content of the third display interface. Alternatively, the first boundary content may be the bottom edge content of the third display interface, and the second boundary content may be the top edge content of the third display interface.

[0415] For example, referring to (a) in Figure 5, the third display interface may be the display interface 310, the first boundary content may be the top edge content of the display interface 310, the second boundary content may be the bottom edge content of the display interface 310, and the operation of sliding the second boundary content in the opposite direction of the first boundary content is also the operation of the user sliding downward.

[0416] Referring to (b) in Figure 6, the third display interface may be the display interface 310, the first boundary content may be the bottom edge content of the display interface 310, the second boundary content may be the top edge content of the display interface 310, and the operation of sliding the second boundary content in the opposite direction of the first boundary content is also the operation of the user sliding upward.

[0417] The preset rotation direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0418] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device displays the first boundary content of the third display interface, that is, when the electronic device reaches the display limit, if the user continues to slide toward the second boundary or rotate the crown in a preset direction, an entrance to the first display interface may be displayed, and the user may click on the entrance to display the first display interface. This technical solution can make it possible for the electronic device to conveniently switch from the third display interface to the first display interface.

[0419] In some embodiments, the first display interface is a chessboard desktop, and the third display interface is a list desktop.

[0420] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can conveniently switch from the list desktop to the chessboard desktop.

[0421] In some embodiments, the method 900 further includes:

[0422] In response to the user's third operation on the second display interface, the second display interface, or another display interface triggered by the third operation, is displayed in full screen.

[0423] Exemplarily, the third operation may be an operation in which the user clicks on the second display interface. For example, the other display interface may be a list desktop. In this way, the electronic device can be conveniently switched from the chessboard desktop to the list desktop.

[0424] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display the second display interface or another display interface in full screen according to the user's third operation on the second display interface, so that the electronic device can quickly switch from the chessboard desktop to the list interface.

[0425] Optionally, in response to the third operation, the electronic device may further display another display interface in the display area of ​​the second display interface. In this way, interface jumps within the second display interface can be achieved without affecting the user's use of the first display interface.

[0426] In some embodiments, the method 900 further includes:

[0427] In response to a fourth operation performed by the user on the first display interface, the first display interface is displayed in full screen.

[0428] The third operation may be an operation in which the user clicks on the first display interface.

[0429] According to the embodiment of the present application, after displaying the second display interface, if the user does not perform an operation on the second display interface but performs an operation on the first display interface, the electronic device can cancel the display of the second display interface and restore the full-screen display of the first display interface. This can improve the error tolerance of user operations.

[0430] In some embodiments, the second display interface covers the top or bottom of the first display interface.

[0431] This technical solution can enable users to conveniently operate the second display interface and conform to the user's usage habits.

[0432] In some embodiments, before displaying the second display interface, the method 900 further includes:

[0433] The electronic device vibrates for a preset duration or displays an animation effect.

[0434] It should be understood that this application does not limit the specific value of the preset duration, nor does it limit the specific animation of the animation effect.

[0435] In this way, the electronic device can remind the user that a new second display interface is about to appear by vibrating for a preset duration or displaying an animation effect, thereby better providing a reminder to the user.

[0436] Optionally, when the size of a display element in the first display interface reaches its maximum size, the electronic device may vibrate for a preset duration or display an animation effect to alert the user that the display element has reached its maximum size. After the user performs the first operation, the electronic device will display a newly displayed second display interface, thereby providing a warning to the user.

[0437] Optionally, when the size of a display element in the first display interface reaches the minimum size, the electronic device may vibrate for a preset duration or display an animation effect to alert the user that the size of the display element has been reduced to the limit. After the user performs a second operation, the electronic device will display a newly appeared second display interface, thereby providing a warning to the user.

[0438] Optionally, the maximum size and the minimum size may be the sizes in the stable state mentioned above, or the sizes in the temporary state.

[0439] In some embodiments, before displaying the second display interface, the method 900 further includes:

[0440] determining a second display interface according to the first information;

[0441] The first information includes at least one of the following information:

[0442] Whether the electronic device is connected to other electronic devices;

[0443] the location of electronic equipment;

[0444] Time information;

[0445] The user's habits in using electronic devices; or

[0446] The content of the first display interface.

[0447] For example, if the electronic device is communicatively connected to another electronic device, such as a wearable electronic device connected to a mobile phone, the second display interface can be an interface for controlling audio or video playback on the mobile phone. This allows the user to conveniently control media playback on the mobile phone through the wearable electronic device without having to open the phone, thereby improving the user experience.

[0448] For example, if the electronic device is currently located in a gym, the second electronic device may be an interface for controlling audio playback or a display interface for exercise.

[0449] Alternatively, when the electronic device determines that the current date is a special date, such as the user's birthday, based on the time information, the second display interface may be a display interface for expressing birthday wishes.

[0450] The electronic device may also determine the second display interface based on other content such as the user's habits, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0451] The electronic device may also determine the second display interface based on the content of the first display interface. For example, if the first display interface is a sports display interface, the second display interface may be sports-related suggestions.

[0452] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can determine the content of the second display interface in a variety of ways, so that the display interface can be easily switched in a variety of scenarios, thereby improving the diversity of user usage.

[0453] In some embodiments, if the electronic device is communicatively connected to a second electronic device for playing media, the second display interface is a display interface for controlling the playing of the media file.

[0454] Exemplarily, the second electronic device may be a Bluetooth headset, the media may be audio, etc., and the second display interface may be a control card for conveniently controlling the audio, such as controlling play, pause, switching to the next song, switching to the previous song, etc.

[0455] Based on the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can display a display interface for conveniently controlling the playback of media, and the user can conveniently control the media on another electronic device on the electronic device, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0456] In some embodiments, the second display interface is predefined by the system or predefined by the user.

[0457] For example, the user may predefine the content of the second display interface in a management application for controlling the electronic device by the user, or the second display interface may be predefined in a system of the electronic device.

[0458] In this way, the diversity of the second display interface can be improved.

[0459] In some embodiments, the second display interface is translucent.

[0460] In this way, the newly appeared second display interface is semi-transparent, which can minimize the impact on the user's use of the first display interface in the event of a user's misoperation.

[0461] Optionally, after a preset period of time, if the user does not perform any operation, the second display interface may disappear automatically.

[0462] Optionally, the second display interface may also be opaque.

[0463] In one implementation, the electronic device is a wearable electronic device.

[0464] Optionally, the wearable electronic device is a smart watch or a smart bracelet.

[0471] The fifth display interface may cover the left portion of the fourth display interface, or the right portion of the fourth display interface; or, the fifth display interface may cover the top portion of the fourth display interface, or the bottom portion of the fourth display interface.

[0472] The fifth operation may be an operation of sliding in the first direction detected by the electronic device on the display screen, or the fifth operation may be an operation of rotating the crown in a preset direction.

[0473] For example, if the first direction is sliding to the left, the fifth display interface can cover the right part of the fourth display interface, and the fifth operation can be to continue sliding to the left. For example, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the fifth display interface can be display interface 270, and the display interface 270 covers part of the display interface 260. If the first direction is sliding to the right, the fifth display interface can cover the left part of the fourth display interface, and the fifth operation can be to continue sliding to the right. For example, referring to Figure 4, the fifth display interface can be display interface 230, and the display interface 230 covers part of the display interface 220. In this way, the display of the fifth display interface can be more in line with the user's usage habits, providing a good experience for the user.

[0474] The last display interface can be switched by the user by sliding on the display screen or by rotating the crown.

[0475] The preset direction can be counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0476] Based on the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device displays the last display interface switched to the first direction. In response to the fifth operation, the fifth display interface covering the last display interface can be displayed, so that another display interface can be conveniently displayed when the electronic device displays to the limit, which is conducive to convenient switching of the display interface of the electronic device.

[0477] In some embodiments, the method 1000 further includes:

[0478] In response to the user's operation on the fifth display interface, the electronic device displays the sixth display interface in the display area of ​​the fifth display interface or displays the sixth display interface in full screen.

[0483] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 3 , the user's operation on the fourth display interface may be an operation of the user clicking on the display interface 260 , and the electronic device may then display the display interface 260 in full screen.

[0484] According to the embodiment of the present application, after displaying the fifth display interface, if the user does not perform an operation on the fifth display interface but instead performs an operation on the fourth display interface, the electronic device can cancel the display of the fifth display interface and restore the full-screen display of the fourth display interface. This can improve the error tolerance of user operations.

[0485] In some embodiments, before displaying the fifth display interface, the method 1000 further includes:

[0486] The electronic device vibrates for a preset duration or displays an animation effect.

[0487] In this way, the electronic device can remind the user that a new fifth display interface is about to appear by vibrating for a preset duration or displaying an animation effect, thereby better providing a reminder to the user.

[0488] Optionally, when the fourth display interface is the last display interface among the multiple display interfaces that the electronic device switches to display in the first direction, the electronic device may vibrate for a preset duration or display an animation effect to alert the user that the electronic device's display interface has reached the limit. After the user performs the fifth operation, the electronic device will display the newly displayed fifth display interface, thereby providing a warning to the user.

[0501] Based on the embodiments of the present application, a user can conveniently control the media on another electronic device on one electronic device, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0502] In some embodiments, the fifth display interface is predefined by the system or predefined by the user.

[0503] Exemplarily, the user may predefine the content of the fifth display interface in a management application for controlling the electronic device by the user, or the fifth display interface may be predefined in a system of the electronic device.

[0504] In this way, the diversity of the fifth display interface can be improved.

[0505] In some embodiments, the fifth display interface is translucent.

[0506] In this way, the newly appeared fifth display interface is semi-transparent, which can minimize the impact on the user's use of the first display interface in the event of a user's misoperation.

[0507] In some cases, after a preset period of time, if the user does not perform any operation, the fifth display interface may automatically disappear.
