Description

Screen partition display method, graphic interface and electronic device Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of terminals, and in particular to a screen partition display method, a graphical interface, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, more and more electronic devices are equipped with screens and various sensor modules. If the screen and the sensor are designed on the same side of the electronic device, there will be a conflict in the design areas of the screen and the sensor.

[0003] Therefore, when a sensor and a screen are provided on the same side of an electronic device, how to design the screen and its display method so as to increase both the screen size and the display effect is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a screen partition display method, a graphical interface, and an electronic device. The method is applied to an electronic device including a sensor and a screen, wherein the screen includes a first partition and a second partition arranged on the same surface. The first partition does not include a punched area, and the first partition displays the running interface of the application. The second partition includes a punched area for setting a sensor, and the second partition displays the background and status information of the electronic device. The electronic device can support users to customize the background and information displayed in the second partition, or the electronic device can intelligently adapt the background and information of the second partition according to the running interface of the first partition. This improves the display effect of the electronic device.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a screen partition display method, which is applied to an electronic device including an external screen, wherein the external screen is a screen of the electronic device running in a folded state, the external screen including a first partition and a second partition, the first partition including a punch-hole area, and the second partition not including a punch-hole area, the method including: when running a first application, displaying a first chat page provided by the first application in the first partition, displaying a first background in the second partition, and the image elements and / or color elements contained in the first background belonging to the background of the first chat page; in response to a first operation, displaying a second chat page provided by the first application in the first partition, and displaying a second background in the second partition, and the image elements and / or color elements contained in the second background belonging to the background of the second chat page.

[0007] After implementing the screen partitioning method provided in the first aspect, the design area of ​​the electronic device is fully utilized, and the screen and sensor are designed to be compatible, which not only ensures the normal realization of the sensing function, but also provides the ability of almost full-screen display. Specifically, a hole is punched in the screen, and the sensor is set in the punched area, so that the area around the sensor can be expanded to the design area of ​​the screen. In addition, based on the background of the application in the first partition, a matching background is displayed in the second partition, which not only weakens the sense of separation between the screen partitions to create a full-screen joint display effect, but also focuses on the content of the key partitions without affecting the user's main task interaction. Among them, the first application can be a social application that can provide users with a chat function.

[0008] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, when the second partition displays the first background, the method further includes: displaying first information in the second partition, the first information including any one or more of the following: time, date, and capsule prompt.

[0009] In this way, different information can be displayed according to the different characteristics of the screen partitions, thereby improving screen utilization. Specifically, the screen is divided into a second partition containing a perforated area and a first partition without a perforated area, and then different content is displayed in each partition. This includes using the second partition to display content that does not require high screen regularity and integrity (such as electronic device status information, namely time, date, and capsules, etc.), and using the first partition to display content that requires high screen regularity and integrity (such as the application running interface).

[0010] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, before the second partition displays the first information, the method further includes: receiving a second operation, the second operation being used to set any one or more of the following: the text format of the first information, the layout form of the first information.

[0011] Like this, by supporting the display information of the second partition in the user-defined screen partition, the interest of screen display effect can be enhanced.In addition, in addition to supporting the display information of the second partition, the display background, foreground etc. in the user-defined second partition can also be supported.

[0012] In conjunction with the method described in the first aspect, before the second partition displays the first background, the method further includes: the electronic device does not receive an operation for customizing the background of the second partition. In other words, if the user customizes the background in the second partition, the electronic device may preferentially display the corresponding background in the second partition according to the user's customization. If the user customizes the background of the second partition, the electronic device may adaptively set the second partition to display a pre-set matching background based on the chat page displayed in the first partition.

[0013] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, the area of ​​the first partition is smaller than the area of ​​the second partition.

[0014] In this way, the first partition with a larger area can be used to display key content, that is, the application interface, and the second partition with a smaller area can be used to display relatively uncritical content, such as the time, date, reminder capsule and other status information of the electronic device.

[0015] Combined with the method described in the first aspect, when the punching area is located on the upper / lower side of the external screen, the first partition and the second partition are two areas that divide the external screen horizontally; when the punching area is located on the left / right side of the external screen, the first partition and the second partition are two areas that divide the external screen vertically.

[0016] In this way, the method provided in this application can be used for electronic devices of different specifications, regardless of whether the sensors are arranged vertically or horizontally.

[0017] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, the method further includes: when running the second application, displaying a video playback page provided by the second application in the first partition, and displaying a fifth background in the second partition, wherein the fifth background is black. The second application may be a video application that provides movie viewing services to the user.

[0018] In this way, if the first partition is in a video playback scene (usually refers to a scene of playing a long video), the second partition is controlled to display a black background, thereby providing the user with an immersive, full-screen viewing experience.

[0019] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, when the first partition displays the video playback page provided by the second application, the time and date are not displayed in the second partition.

[0020] In this way, if the first partition is in a video playback scene (usually refers to playing a long video), some status information of the electronic device (such as date, time, etc.) will not be displayed, thereby ensuring that the user can focus on the video playing in the first partition without distracting the user's concentration, creating an immersive viewing experience for the user.

[0021] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, when the first partition displays the video playback page provided by the second application, the prompt capsule is displayed in the second partition.

[0022] This way, if the first partition is playing a video (usually a long video), the second partition can also display capsules if needed. Because the information displayed in the capsules is relatively critical and has a certain display time limit, this will not distract the user by displaying it for a long time, and can also ensure that the user receives the prompt information in a timely manner.

[0023] In conjunction with the method described in the first aspect, before the second partition displays the fifth background, the method further includes: the electronic device does not receive an operation for customizing the background of the second partition. In other words, if the user customizes the background in the second partition, the electronic device may preferentially display the corresponding background in the second partition according to the user's customization. If the user customizes the background of the second partition, the electronic device may adaptively set the second partition to display a pre-set matching background based on the video playback page displayed in the first partition.

[0024] In conjunction with the method described in the first aspect, when a third application is running, a first page provided by the third application is displayed in the first partition, and an eighth background is displayed in the second partition; the eighth background is a portion or all of the blurred content of the first page. A second page provided by the third application is displayed in the first partition, and a ninth background is displayed in the second partition; the ninth background is a portion or all of the blurred content of the second page. The third application may be an application other than the first and second applications.

[0025] In this way, the content of the application in the first partition is dynamically blurred and displayed as the background of the second partition. This ensures that the background of the second partition is dynamically refreshed synchronously with the content of the application in the first partition, and because of the blurring effect, it does not affect the user's attention to the key content of the first partition, creating a full-screen joint display visual experience for the user and improving the display aesthetics.

[0026] In conjunction with the method described in the first aspect, before the second partition displays the eighth background, the method further includes: determining that the third application is a whitelisted application, and the whitelisted application does not include chat applications and video applications, that is, does not include the aforementioned first application and second application. In other words, if the user has not customized the background in the second partition, the electronic device can prioritize detecting whether the content displayed in the first partition is a chat page or a video playback page. If not, it can be determined that the content of the first partition is provided by an application on the whitelist. If so, the second partition is displayed with a corresponding background using a dynamic blur processing effect.

[0027] In this way, the motion blur strategy can be applied only to applications suitable for the motion blur effect. For example, the motion blur effect can be provided to short video applications, while the motion blur strategy is not applied to applications that provide functions such as chatting and watching movies.

[0028] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, the method includes: in response to a third operation, running a fourth application; displaying a third page provided by the fourth application in the first partition, and displaying a tenth background in the second partition; the color of the tenth background is the same as the color of the background of the third page; displaying a fourth page provided by the fourth application in the first partition, and displaying an eleventh background in the second partition; the color of the eleventh background is the same as the color of the background of the fourth page.

[0029] In this way, the background color of the second partition can be dynamically refreshed synchronously with the background color of the first partition, creating a full-screen joint display visual experience for users and improving the display aesthetics.

[0030] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, before the second partition displays the tenth background, the method includes: determining that the fourth application is not an application in the whitelist.

[0031] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, when the second partition displays the eighth background, the method further includes: displaying fourth information in the second partition, the fourth information including any one or more of the following: time, date, and capsule prompt.

[0032] In combination with the method described in the first aspect, before the second partition displays the fourth information, the method further includes: receiving a fourth operation, the fourth operation being used to set any one or more of the following: the text format of the fourth information, the layout form of the fourth information.

[0033] In a second aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, comprising one or more memories, one or more processors and an external screen; the memory is coupled to the one or more processors, the memory is used to store computer program code, the computer program code includes computer instructions, and the one or more processors call the computer instructions to enable the electronic device to execute a method as described in any one of the first aspects.

[0034] In a third aspect, the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, which, when executed on an electronic device, causes the electronic device to execute any of the methods in the first aspect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] The following is a clear and detailed description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " represents the meaning of "or." For example, A / B can represent A or B. "and / or" in the text is merely a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0046] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0047] References to "embodiments" in this application mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application may be combined with other embodiments.

[0048] The term "user interface (UI)" in the following embodiments of this application refers to a medium interface for interaction and information exchange between an application or operating system and a user, which realizes the conversion between the internal form of information and the form that the user can receive. The user interface is a source code written in a specific computer language such as Java and extensible markup language (XML). The interface source code is parsed and rendered on an electronic device and finally presented as content that the user can recognize. The commonly used form of user interface is graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations that is displayed in a graphical manner. It can be a visual interface element such as text, icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars, navigation bars, widgets, etc. displayed on the display screen of an electronic device.

[0049] Currently, users have increasing demands for the functionality and quantity of sensors in electronic devices. Consequently, the design area for sensors in electronic devices is increasing, which in turn limits the design area for screens. For example, in an electronic device where the sensor is a camera and the screen is an external display, the design area for the external display is limited by the camera. For details, see Figure 1A.

[0050] FIG. 1A exemplarily shows a screen structure.

[0051] The electronic device shown in FIG1A is a foldable electronic device, and the screen of the electronic device includes an inner screen and an outer screen. The inner screen refers to the screen that runs when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, and the outer screen refers to the screen that runs when the electronic device is in the folded state. When the outer screen and the camera are both arranged on the same side of the electronic device (i.e., the side where the outer shell is located), in order to ensure both the normal implementation of the camera function and the camera not affecting the display effect of the outer screen, a regular and complete area outside the area where the camera is located is used as the design area of ​​the outer screen. Among them, the regular area specifically refers to an area such as a rectangle, a circle, etc., and the complete area refers to a single-connection area without holes, so that the integrity and regularity of the display effect can be guaranteed.

[0052] FIG1A only uses an exemplary scenario to introduce this screen design method. Similarly, in scenarios where other types of sensors and screens are installed in electronic devices, if the sensor and screen need to be designed on the same side of the electronic device, the screen design method shown in FIG1A may be adopted. Examples will not be given one by one here.

[0053] Based on the screen design shown in FIG1A , it can be seen that when there is a conflict between the sensor of the electronic device and the design area of ​​the screen, although the screen design shown in FIG1A can provide a regular display area, the screen design fails to fully utilize the design area of ​​the electronic device. For example, it does not fully utilize the surrounding area of ​​the camera. The screen designed in this way is smaller, which brings a poor interactive experience to the user.

[0054] In order to solve the aforementioned problems, the present application provides a screen partition display method, a graphical interface, and an electronic device. The method is applied to an electronic device including a sensor and a screen, wherein the screen includes a first partition and a second partition arranged on the same surface. The first partition does not include a punched area, the first partition displays the running interface of the application, the second partition includes a punched area for setting the sensor, and the second partition displays the background and status information of the electronic device. The electronic device can support users to customize the background and information displayed in the second partition, or the electronic device can intelligently adapt the background and information of the second partition according to the running interface of the first partition.

[0055] Next, some relevant concepts involved in this application are introduced.

[0056] The sensor includes but is not limited to any one or more of the following: an image sensor (ie, a camera), an ambient light sensor, or a proximity light sensor.

[0057] The screen includes but is not limited to any one or more of the following: a screen arranged on the same side of the electronic device, an external screen, an internal screen, or a screen with no internal or external distinction (i.e., a screen of a non-foldable device), etc.

[0058] The second partition and the first partition refer to two interconnected and non-overlapping sub-areas contained in the screen. For the structure of the two areas, please refer to the introduction of the screen structure shown in Figure 1B below, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] The perforated area refers to the holes / cavities in an area, and the perforated area in the second partition is equivalent to the holes / cavities in the multi-connected area in mathematical concepts.

[0060] The running interface of an application refers to the page displayed when the application is running, including but not limited to one or more of the interface background, interface foreground, or interface information. For example, the running interface of the application in the first partition in this application includes but is not limited to: the main page, loading page, guide page, details page, etc. displayed after the application is started, where each page can include information, or can also include background and foreground, etc. The application referred to in this application can be a system application or a third-party application, etc.

[0061] The interface background refers to the content contained in the bottom layer (i.e., the background layer) of the page. For example, the background layer of the second partition in this application can be used to display static images, such as solid color images, gradient images, or images with patterns. In addition, if the second partition needs to display dynamic images, it can be displayed by drawing animation effects in the foreground layer.

[0062] The foreground of an interface refers to the content contained in the middle layer (i.e., above the background layer) of a page. For example, the foreground layer of the second partition in this application can be used to display static images, dynamic images, or extended images, where an extended image means that some elements of the image can extend beyond the second partition into the first partition.

[0063] Interface information refers to the content contained in the top layer (i.e., above the background layer and foreground layer) of the page. For example, the information layer of the second partition in this application includes but is not limited to: date, time, or capsules and other content. Among them, capsules and the like are used to display key information of applications running on electronic devices. Taking taxi-hailing software as an example, the license plate number of the currently hailed car can be displayed in the capsule. Normally, the status information of electronic devices is provided by the system-level services of the electronic devices. In particular, when the manufacturer of the electronic device cooperates with the manufacturer of the third-party application, the third-party application can also provide key information of the application through capsules or other display forms.

[0064] Based on the above concept introduction, it can be seen that: on the one hand, the information contained in the running interface of the application and its layout are changing in real time, resulting in the running interface of the application having high requirements on the regularity and completeness of the screen. In order to ensure the complete display of the information in the running interface, the first partition can be used to display the running interface of the application. On the other hand, the status information of the electronic device and its layout have not changed significantly. It is only necessary to pre-set the display position of the status information so that it will not be affected by the punched area. In other words, the status information of the electronic device has low requirements on the regularity and completeness of the screen. Based on this, the second partition can be used to display the status information of the electronic device. In addition, in order to improve the display effect of the second partition and the first partition, the background, foreground and information customized by the user or intelligently adapted by the electronic device can also be displayed in the second partition. For the specific implementation of user customization and intelligent adaptation, please refer to the description below, which will not be repeated here.

[0065] The implementation of the display method, graphical interface, and electronic device provided in this application can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0066] (1) Fully utilize the design area of ​​the electronic device and design the screen and sensor in a compatible manner, ensuring the normal implementation of the sensing function while providing the ability to display nearly full screen. Specifically, a hole is punched in the screen and the sensor is placed in the punched area, which expands the area around the sensor into the design area of ​​the screen.

[0067] (2) Weakening the impact of sensors in the screen on the display effect. Specifically, the screen is divided into a second partition containing a perforated area and a first partition without a perforated area, and then different contents are displayed in each partition, including using the second partition to display content that does not require high screen regularity and integrity (such as the status information of electronic devices), and using the first partition to display content that requires high screen regularity and integrity (such as the running interface of an application).

[0068] (3) Support users to customize the background, foreground and information of screen partitions to enhance the fun.

[0069] (4) It supports intelligent adaptation of the background, foreground, and information of screen partitions, which not only weakens the sense of separation between screen partitions to create a full-screen joint display effect, but also focuses on the content of key partitions without affecting the user's main task interaction.

[0070] Next, the screen structure involved in the screen partition display method provided by this application is introduced in conjunction with FIG. 1B .

[0071] FIG. 1B exemplarily shows another screen structure.

[0072] As shown in FIG1B , the display method provided in the present application is applied to an electronic device 100. The screen of the electronic device 100 includes an inner screen and an outer screen, the inner screen refers to the screen that runs when the electronic device 100 is in an unfolded state, and the outer screen refers to the screen that runs when the electronic device 100 is in a folded state. The outer screen can be divided into multiple areas, and optionally, the multiple areas divided include a second partition and a first partition, a second partition, and a first partition. The second partition is a multi-connection area (i.e., a hole-containing area), and the first partition is a single-connection area (i.e., a hole-free area). The hole in the second partition is used to set the sensor module.

[0073] Based on the screen design shown in FIG1B , in order to expand the screen size and avoid the influence of the punched area for setting the sensor in the screen on the display effect, the entire screen is divided into a second partition including the punched area and a first partition excluding the punched area. Then, different types of content are displayed respectively through the second partition and the first partition, including using the second partition to display content that does not require high regularity and integrity of the screen (such as the status information of the electronic device), and using the first partition to display content that requires high regularity and integrity of the screen (such as the running interface of the application). It can be seen that the screen partition display method can avoid the influence of the sensor in the punched area on the content displayed on the screen. For the specific screen partition display method, please refer to the introduction of FIG2 below, and for the user interface of the screen partition display, please refer to the UI embodiments of FIG3A to FIG8 below.

[0074] FIG1B is merely an example of a screen design provided by the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application. The screen partition display method provided by the present application can also be applied to other screen designs, as follows:

[0075] In other screen designs provided in this application, the second partition and the first partition can be divided horizontally in addition to vertically. The partition division direction of the screen depends specifically on the arrangement direction of the perforated area of ​​the sensor. If the perforated area is arranged vertically, the second partition and the first partition can be divided vertically; if the perforated area is arranged horizontally, the second partition and the first partition can be divided horizontally.

[0076] In other screen designs provided in this application, the number of perforated areas in the screen can also be one or more. The number of perforated areas depends on the design of the sensor. If there is one perforated area, then the one perforated area can be used to set one sensor or to set multiple sensors integrated into one; if there are multiple perforated areas, then each perforated area can be used to set one or more sensors.

[0077] In other screen designs provided in the present application, the screen adopting the partition design can be an inner screen in addition to the outer screen, or it can be a screen of an electronic device 100 that has no distinction between inner and outer screens (such as the screen of a non-folding electronic device 100). Although, under normal circumstances, the number of sensors arranged on the surface where the inner screen of the electronic device 100 is located is small and the area is small, that is, the sensors on the surface where the inner screen of the electronic device 100 is located hardly affect the display effect of the inner screen, so there is no need to adopt the screen partition display method provided in this application for the inner screen. However, in special circumstances, if the number of sensors arranged on the surface where the inner screen of the electronic device 100 is located is large and the area is large, the screen partition display method provided in this application can be adopted. In short, for situations where there is a conflict between the design areas of the sensor and the screen, the screen partition design and screen partition display method provided in this application can be adopted.

[0078] Based on the above introduction to the screen partition structure, it can be seen that when the screen is partitioned to display different types of content, the sensor in the punched area can be prevented from affecting the content displayed on the screen. On this basis, in order to further improve the screen partition display effect, it is necessary to further improve the display effect of the background, foreground and information of the partition, etc. To this end, the screen partition method provided by this application also includes: customization and intelligent adaptation strategies (including intelligent adaptation strategies corresponding to special scenes and ordinary scenes). Among them, customization is intended to meet the user's personalized setting needs; the intelligent adaptation strategy under special scenes is intended to allow the user to focus on the tasks performed in the first partition and weaken the impact of the second partition on the first partition; the intelligent adaptation strategy under ordinary scenes is intended to bring users a full-screen joint display visual experience, enhance visual beauty, and weaken the sense of separation between the second partition and the first partition. The names of the special scenes and ordinary scenes described in this application are only examples and should not constitute a limitation of this application. Their essence is recorded in the method embodiments and UI embodiments below. The special scenes and ordinary scenes described in this application can also be referred to as first-category scenes and second-category scenes, or first-type scenes and second-type scenes, etc. This application is not limited to this.

[0079] In one practicable manner, in order to ensure priority response to user operations, the electronic device 100 can set the user-defined priority to be higher than the priority of the intelligent adaptation policy. Also, in order to ensure that the user can focus on the task being interacted with and enable the task to be executed smoothly, the electronic device 100 can also set the priority of the intelligent adaptation policy in special scenarios to be higher than the priority of the intelligent adaptation policy in ordinary scenarios. In this way, when the user customizes the display effect of the second partition, the display effect of the second partition can be controlled according to the user's customized operation. When the user does not customize the display effect of the second partition, the display effect of the second partition is controlled according to the intelligent adaptation policy.

[0080] If the user has not customized the display effect of the second partition, if a special scene is detected, the display effect of the second partition can be controlled according to the intelligent adaptation strategy under the special scene. If no special scene is detected, the display effect of the second partition can be controlled according to the intelligent adaptation strategy under the normal scene.

[0081] In other practicable embodiments, the aforementioned priorities can be set by developers or users based on their needs. For example, the priority of the smart adaptation strategy for special scenarios can be set to the highest, followed by the smart adaptation strategies for custom scenarios and common scenarios. This embodiment of the present application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0082] Next, the screen partition display method provided by this application is introduced in combination with Figure 2 and only in order of priority from high to low, namely customization, intelligent adaptation strategy in special scenarios and intelligent adaptation strategy in general scenarios.

[0083] FIG2 exemplarily shows a method flow of screen partition display. The method flow of screen partition display includes the following steps:

[0084] S21, electronic device operation screen.

[0085] Specifically, the electronic device 100 operates the screen including controlling the screen to illuminate to display content. The screen includes a second partition and a first partition. The structure of the screen can be found in the description of FIG. 1B above and will not be described here. In the folded state, the electronic device controls the inner screen to illuminate and controls the outer screen to illuminate or illuminate according to other states of the electronic device.

[0086] Optionally, when the electronic device is running the screen, it can also be determined whether to perform partition display. If partition display is determined, the partition display strategy introduced in S22 to S27-2 below is used for display. If full-screen display is determined, it is displayed according to the corresponding full-screen display strategy. The embodiment of the present application does not impose specific restrictions on the content of the full-screen display, which can be determined by the desktop or other applications to be displayed. Among them, the full-screen display scene includes, but is not limited to: displaying the desktop, weather or other applications. The present application can preset the full-screen display scene, or can also preset the partition display scene, etc.

[0087] Phase 1 (S22~S23-1): Custom policies are implemented first according to the preset priority order from high to low.

[0088] S22: Determine whether the user customizes the display effect of the second partition on the screen.

[0089] Specifically, the electronic device 100 supports user customization of the display effect of the second partition in the screen. If the user has customized the display effect of the second partition, the electronic device 100 can read the customized event and then control the display effect of the second partition according to the user's customized operation (i.e., execute subsequent S23-1); if the user has not customized the display effect of the second partition, the electronic device 100 can read the uncustomized event and then control the display effect of the second partition according to the intelligent adaptation strategy (i.e., execute subsequent S23-2).

[0090] S23-1: If it is determined that the user has customized the display effect of the second partition on the screen, the display effect of the second partition is controlled based on the user's customization operation.

[0091] Specifically, the user-customized display effect of the second partition includes, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following display effects: background, foreground, or information display effects. The electronic device 100 can display the set effect in the second partition based on the user's personalized setting operation for the background, foreground, or information in the second partition.

[0092] In particular, in S23-1, the user may customize the display effects of all or part of the objects in the second partition, for example, only defining the display effects of font, thickness, and color, but not customizing the display effects of layout or background. For display objects that the user has not customized, the intelligent adaptation strategy introduced later can also continue to be used.

[0093] For the specific implementation of the display effect of the customized second partition involved in S23-1, please refer to the description of Figures 3A to 3D in the UI embodiment below, which will not be repeated here.

[0094] Phase 2 (S23-2~S24-1): Continue to implement the intelligent adaptation strategy for special scenarios according to the preset priority from high to low.

[0095] S23-2: If it is determined that the user has not customized the display effect of the second partition on the screen, determine whether the first partition meets the special scenario.

[0096] Specifically, when the user has not customized the display effect of the second partition, the electronic device 100 can use an intelligent adaptation strategy to automatically set the display effect of the second partition instead of the user's manual operation. The intelligent adaptation strategy provided in the embodiment of the present application includes intelligent adaptation strategies corresponding to special scenes and ordinary scenes, respectively. When the priority of the special scene is higher than that of the ordinary scene, the electronic device 100 preferentially detects whether the first partition conforms to the special scene. If it is detected that it conforms to the special scene, the display effect of the second partition is controlled according to the intelligent adaptation strategy under the special scene (i.e., executing the subsequent S24-1); if it is determined that the first partition does not conform to the special scene, the display effect of the second partition is controlled according to the intelligent adaptation strategy under the ordinary scene (i.e., executing the subsequent S24-2 to S27-2).

[0097] Specifically, in S23-2, determining that the user has not customized the display effect of the second partition of the screen includes: the user may have customized some objects in the second partition, that is, some objects have not been customized, or the user may not have customized any objects at all. For the former, in S23-2 to S27-2, an intelligent adaptation strategy is used to adjust the objects that have not been customized by the user. In other words, the present application can combine the customization strategy and the intelligent adaptation strategy to jointly control the display effect of the second partition.

[0098] S24-1: If it is determined that the first partition meets the special scenario, a special intelligent adaptation strategy is adopted to control the display effect of the second partition.

[0099] Specifically, the special scenarios involved in this application include but are not limited to: playing long videos, displaying chat interfaces, etc. Correspondingly, the intelligent adaptation strategies corresponding to these special scenarios are as follows:

[0100] (1) If the first partition is in a movie viewing scene (usually refers to a scene where a long video is played), the second partition is controlled to display a black background, and no dynamic foreground or partial status information of the electronic device (such as date, time, etc.) is displayed, thereby ensuring that the user can focus on the video played in the first partition without distracting the user's concentration, and creating an immersive viewing experience for the user. In particular, when the first partition is in a movie viewing scene, if necessary, the second partition can also display capsules. Since the information displayed in the capsule is relatively critical and has a certain display time limit, it will not be displayed for a long time to distract the user's concentration, and it can also ensure that the user can obtain the prompt information in the capsule in a timely manner.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, the application running on the electronic device in a movie viewing scenario may also be referred to as a second application. For example, the second application may include application A shown in FIG. 4A below.

[0102] (2) If the first partition is in a chat scene, elements are extracted from the chat background in the first partition and displayed as the background of the second partition. The extracted elements may include colors, patterns, etc., and the pattern is tiled on the color to obtain a background similar to the chat background. In this way, the two partitions of the screen can be associated, thereby weakening the sense of separation between the screen partitions, enhancing the visual beauty, and giving the user a full-screen joint display visual experience. In addition, the second partition can also continue to display the status information of the electronic device (such as date, time or capsule, etc.).

[0103] In an embodiment of the present application, the application running on the electronic device in a chat scenario may also be referred to as a first application. For example, the first application may include application B shown in FIG. 4B below.

[0104] The special scenarios provided in this application are only introduced using the two aforementioned examples. In addition, if there are other scenarios with other special requirements for the display effect of the second partition, the corresponding display effect can also be preset for the scene. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific types of special scenarios.

[0105] For the display effects corresponding to the intelligent adaptation strategies in the special scenarios involved in S24-1, please refer to the description of FIG4A-FIG4B in the UI embodiment below, which will not be repeated here.

[0106] Phase 3 (S24-2~S27-1): According to the preset priority order from high to low, finally implement the intelligent adaptation strategy under normal scenarios.

[0107] S24-2: If it is determined that the first partition does not conform to the special scenario, determine whether the application displayed in the first partition belongs to the whitelist corresponding to motion blur.

[0108] Specifically, if it is determined that the first partition does not conform to the special scenario, the intelligent adaptation strategy for the common scenario is adopted to control the display of the second partition to adapt to the first partition. The intelligent adaptation strategy for the common scenario includes but is not limited to the following:

[0109] (1) Using a dynamic blur effect: The content of the top-level application in the first partition is displayed as the background of the second partition after dynamic blur processing; in the embodiment of the present application, when the dynamic blur effect is used, the application in the first partition can be called a third application, and the third application includes, for example, application C shown in Figure 5A below, application D shown in Figure 5B, etc.

[0110] (2) Using the application self-configuration effect: the background of the second partition configured by the top application in the first partition is displayed as the background of the second partition;

[0111] (3) Using a dynamic color effect: extracting material from the background of the top-level application in the first partition and displaying it as the background of the first area; in an embodiment of the present application, when using a dynamic color effect, the application in the first partition can be called a fourth application, and the fourth application includes, for example, application F shown in FIG7 below.

[0112] (4) Effect of using a preset default background: the default background provided by the electronic device 100 is displayed as the background of the second partition.

[0113] Taking into account the need to better integrate the display of the second partition with the applications of the first partition, as well as the need to meet the self-configuration requirements of the applications, the several intelligent adaptation strategies included in common scenarios can be set in descending order of priority: using dynamic blur effect, using application self-configuration effect, using dynamic color effect, and using preset default background effect. The strategy with higher priority is executed first. The above priority order is only an optional example. If other requirements are taken into account, the priority order can be set to other, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0114] Based on the above-mentioned priority order, it can be seen that in S24-2, the electronic device 100 prioritizes detecting whether the application displayed in the second partition belongs to the list corresponding to dynamic blur. If so, the dynamic blur effect is used to dynamically blur the content of the top-level application in the first partition and display it as the background of the second partition (that is, execute the subsequent S25-1); if not, it begins to determine whether the intelligent adaptation strategy corresponding to the next priority is met (that is, execute the subsequent S25-2 to S27-2).

[0115] It should be noted that the order of judging several intelligent adaptation strategies under ordinary scenes in Figure 2 is only an example. In fact, the electronic device can directly compare (match) with several ordinary scenes according to the current scene. Whichever ordinary scene is matched, the strategy applicable to the scene will be used for interface display. The priority setting of several intelligent adaptation strategies under ordinary scenes does not affect the execution order of the method.

[0116] Among them, the application displayed in the first partition is specifically the top-level application (referred to as top application) displayed in the first partition. The top application refers to the application running in the foreground of the electronic device 100 and the application whose running interface is displayed at the top level in the first partition.

[0117] Among them, the whitelist corresponding to dynamic blur can be preset in the electronic device 100 by the developer, or an entry can be provided for the user to set it up by himself, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0118] Optionally, to reduce the power consumption of electronic devices, a whitelist approach can be used to apply the dynamic blur effect only to whitelisted applications. Alternatively, it is also possible to apply the dynamic blur effect to all applications, excluding the aforementioned special scenarios. This is not specifically shown in the present embodiment of the application, and can be specifically set based on the performance of the electronic device.

[0119] S25-1: If it is determined that the application displayed in the first partition belongs to the whitelist corresponding to dynamic blur, the content of the application in the first partition is blurred and displayed as the background of the second partition.

[0120] Specifically, the electronic device 100 obtains the content of the top application displayed in the first partition in real time, blurs the content and displays it in the second partition, and dynamically updates the blurred content to ensure that the content displayed in the second partition changes dynamically with the changes in the content displayed in the first partition.

[0121] Optionally, when the area of ​​the second partition is smaller than that of the first partition, the content of the top application in the first partition may be compressed or partially intercepted and then blurred to serve as the background of the second partition.

[0122] Regarding the display effect corresponding to the dynamic blur effect designed in S25-1, please refer to the description of Figures 5A-5B in the UI embodiment below, which will not be repeated here.

[0123] S25-2: If it is determined that the application displayed in the first partition does not belong to the whitelist corresponding to dynamic blur, determine whether the application displayed in the first partition self-configures the display effect of the second partition.

[0124] Based on the priority order described in the aforementioned S24-2, it can be known that when the display application of the first partition (specifically the top application) does not belong to the whitelist corresponding to dynamic blur, the electronic device 100 begins to determine whether the intelligent adaptation strategy corresponding to the next priority is met, that is, whether the application displayed in the first partition (specifically the top application) self-configures the display effect of the second partition. If so, the display effect of the second partition is controlled based on the self-configuration of the application (that is, execute the subsequent S26-1); if not, it begins to determine whether the intelligent adaptation strategy corresponding to the next priority is met (that is, execute the subsequent S26-2 to S27-2).

[0125] The application's self-configured display effect for the second partition refers to the background or other resources of the second partition configured by the application developer during application development. For example, the developer can configure the color value corresponding to the background of the second partition for the first application, or can also configure the display format corresponding to the status information of the electronic device in the second partition for the first application.

[0126] S26-1: If it is determined that the application displayed in the first partition self-configures the display effect of the second partition, the display effect of the second partition is controlled based on the self-configuration of the application.

[0127] Specifically, if it is determined that the application displayed in the first partition (specifically the top application) self-configures the display effect of the second partition, for example, when the application is configured with the background color of the second partition, then when the electronic device 100 runs the application, the first partition displays the running interface of the first application, and the background displayed in the second partition is the color value configured for the application. For another example, when the application is configured with the display format of the status information of the electronic device in the second partition, then when the electronic device 100 runs the application, the first partition displays the running interface of the first application, and the display format of the status information of the electronic device displayed in the second partition is the format self-configured by the application, which includes but is not limited to font, thickness, color, etc.

[0128] Regarding the display effect corresponding to the self-configuration effect of the application involved in S26-1, please refer to the description of Figure 6 in the UI embodiment below, which will not be repeated here.

[0129] S26-2: If it is determined that the application displayed in the first partition does not self-configure the display effect of the second partition, determine whether the application displayed in the first partition supports obtaining the background of the running interface.

[0130] Based on the priority order described in the aforementioned S24-2, it can be seen that when the application displayed in the first partition (specifically the top application) is not configured with the display effect of the second partition, the electronic device 100 begins to determine whether the intelligent adaptation strategy corresponding to the next priority is met, that is, to determine whether the application displayed in the first partition (specifically the top application) supports obtaining the background color of the running interface: if so, obtain the background of the application, and control the background display of the second partition to display the corresponding color value (that is, execute the subsequent S27-1); if not, use the preset default background to control the background display of the second partition to display the corresponding color value (that is, execute the subsequent S27-2).

[0131] The background of the application running interface refers to the color value displayed in the first partition when the application is running. The background color can be identified from the program code of the application.

[0132] S27-1: If it is determined that the application displayed in the first partition supports obtaining the background color, the background of the application is obtained and the background of the second partition is controlled to display a corresponding color value.

[0133] Specifically, if it is determined that the application displayed in the first partition supports obtaining the background, for example, the application supports reading its code to obtain the background color, the electronic device 100 can obtain the background of the application and control the background of the second partition to display the corresponding color value.

[0134] In an optional embodiment, the color value corresponding to the background of the second partition is the same as the color value corresponding to the background of the first partition read, and as the background of the application running interface in the first partition is refreshed, the background in the second partition will also be dynamically refreshed, thereby enhancing the integration of the second partition and the first partition, giving the user a full-screen joint display visual experience.

[0135] In another optional embodiment, the color value corresponding to the background of the second partition is similar to the color value corresponding to the background of the first partition read, and as the background color of the application running interface in the first partition is refreshed, the background color in the second partition will also be dynamically refreshed. This can not only integrate the second partition and the first partition to a certain extent, but also help users focus on important information in the first partition.

[0136] Regarding the display effect corresponding to the strategy of dynamically selecting colors from the application involved in S27-1, please refer to the description of Figure 7 in the UI embodiment below, which will not be repeated here.

[0137] S27-2: If it is determined that the application displayed in the first partition does not support obtaining the background color, a preset default background is used to control the background display of the second partition to display a corresponding color value.

[0138] Specifically, if it is determined that the application displayed in the first partition does not support background acquisition, the electronic device 100 adopts a default measure, that is, a preset default background is used as the background of the second partition for display. The default background can be a solid color or a gradient color, which has a versatile feature, and preferably a color with low saturation.

[0139] Regarding the display effect corresponding to the strategy of using the preset default background color involved in S27-2, reference can be made to the description of FIG8 in the UI embodiment below, which will not be repeated here.

[0140] Based on the screen partition display method described above, the screen partition display effects corresponding to various display strategies will be described one by one in conjunction with FIG. 3A to FIG. 8 .

[0141] 3A-3D are schematic diagrams of an operation interface for a set of customized screen partition display effects provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0142] FIG. 3A exemplarily shows a set of user-defined operation interfaces in a text format in the second partition.

[0143] a in Figure 3A shows a user interface A31, which is a system setting item "External Screen Area" details page provided by the electronic device 100. The "External Screen Area" details page refers to a setting page for customizing the screen partition display effect, and the details page can be opened specifically through the "External Screen Area" option provided by the setting application of the electronic device 100. Since the screen partition display method provided in this application is introduced by taking the application on the external screen as an example, the setting page for customizing the screen partition display effect is referred to as the "External Screen Area" details page. The name "External Screen Area" is only an example, and can also be called "partition display", "screen partition" and other names. The embodiments of this application do not limit this. The functions provided by the "External Screen Area" are specifically recorded below.

[0144] The “External Screen Area” details page in the user interface A31 includes but is not limited to: tab A311 , tab A312 , tab A313 , and tab A314 .

[0145] Tab A311 includes controls for triggering personalized settings for the external screen. A preview of the current external screen style can be displayed in Tab A311. The user can input operations to the corresponding controls in Tab A311 to implement subsequent specific personalized settings operations.

[0146] Tab A312 includes a control for triggering the editing of the lock screen card of the external screen. Tab A312 can display weather cards, sports cards, music cards, etc. The user can input operations to the corresponding controls in tab A312 to implement the lock screen card settings.

[0147] Tab A313 includes controls for triggering editing of desktop applications on the external screen. Tab A313 may display the number of currently added desktop applications, for example, 24 applications. The user can input operations to the corresponding controls in tab A313 to subsequently add or delete desktop applications on the external screen.

[0148] Tab A314 includes a group of controls that trigger settings for other external screen functions, such as settings for the screen off display, in-app display, closing the phone, and answering and hanging up calls. Users can input operations on the corresponding controls in tab A314 to implement subsequent specific settings.

[0149] The electronic device 100 may receive an operation acting on the control displayed within the application in tab A314 shown in a of FIG. 3A . In response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may display the “Display within Application” details page, as specifically shown in b of FIG. 3A .

[0150] Figure 3A b shows a user interface A32, which is an "in-app display" details page provided by the electronic device 100. The "in-app display" details page refers to a page used for further personalized settings of the screen partition display effect when the application interface is displayed. Since the screen partition display method provided in this application is mainly introduced using the case of external screen display application as an example, the page used to further personalize the screen partition display effect is referred to as the "in-app display" details page. The name "in-app display" is only an example, and can also be called "in-app display partition personalization" and other names. The embodiments of this application do not limit this. The functions provided by "in-app display" are specifically recorded below.

[0151] The “Display in App” details page in the user interface A32 includes, but is not limited to, tab A321 , tab A322 , tab A323 , tab A324 , and tab A325 .

[0152] Tab A321 allows you to preview the current external screen's partitioned display effects. For example, the first partition displays the interface of Application X. Application X is merely an example and is primarily used to show the user the partitioned display effects within the application. This application does not specifically limit Application X. The background of the second partition is a user-defined, minimalist background. The second partition also displays electronic device status information, such as the time and a capsule containing current taxi information.

[0153] Tab A322 includes controls that trigger editing of text formats, and the text format currently being applied (e.g., italic / medium / black) can be displayed in tab A322. The user can input operations to the corresponding controls in tab A322 to implement subsequent specific text formatting operations.

[0154] Tab A323 includes controls for triggering editing of the information layout. Tab A323 may display the currently applied information layout (e.g., Time+Capsule). The user may input operations to the corresponding controls in tab A323 to implement subsequent specific information layout editing operations.

[0155] Tab A324 includes a control for triggering the expansion of background setting items. Tab A324 can also display the currently applied background, such as a minimalist theme. The user can input an operation to the corresponding control in tab A324 to expand the background setting items to implement the subsequent operation of selecting a background.

[0156] Tab A325 includes a control for triggering the expansion of the foreground setting item. Tab A325 can also display the currently applied foreground. If it is not applied, it will display "not applied". The user can input an operation to the corresponding control in tab A325 to expand the foreground setting item to implement the subsequent operation of selecting the foreground.

[0157] The electronic device 100 may receive an operation acting on the text format control (tab A322) shown in b of FIG. 3A . In response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may display the “Text Format” details page, as specifically shown in c of FIG. 3A .

[0158] 3A c shows a user interface A33, which is a "text format" details page provided by the electronic device 100. The "text format" details page is a page for further personalizing the text format in the screen partition.

[0159] The "Text Format" details page in the user interface A33 includes but is not limited to: tab A331, tab A332, and tab A333.

[0160] Tab A331 includes controls corresponding to multiple fonts, such as controls corresponding to Kaiti, Huawen Xingkai, or Agency FB. The user can input operations into the corresponding controls in tab A331 to select the corresponding font. The selected font (such as Kaiti) is then applied to the text on the external screen, specifically the time and date displayed in the second partition described in this application.

[0161] Tab A332 includes controls corresponding to various thickness levels, such as controls for thin, medium, or thick. The user can input operations into the corresponding controls in tab A332 to select the corresponding thickness. The selected thickness (e.g., medium) is applied to the text on the external screen, specifically the time and date displayed in the second partition described in this application.

[0162] Tab A333 includes controls corresponding to a variety of colors, for example, controls corresponding to black, gray, pink, and Bluetooth, respectively. Tab A333 also includes controls corresponding to color cards, and controls corresponding to the smart color picking function. The user can input operations to the corresponding controls in tab A333 to select the corresponding color, or the user can also input operations to the controls corresponding to the color cards in tab A333 to select the corresponding color in the expanded color cards. The selected color (such as black) is applied to the text on the external screen, and can be specifically applied to the time and date displayed in the second partition described in this application. Optionally, the user can also turn on the smart color picking function. After turning on the smart color picking function, the electronic device 100 uses a color that matches the background color. For example, when the background color is white, the color corresponding to the matched text can be black, blue, green, etc.

[0163] The electronic device 100 can receive operations on the controls corresponding to the Chinese running script and the controls corresponding to the bold script shown in c of Figure 3A. In response to the operations, the electronic device 100 can switch the selected font from regular script to Chinese running script, and switch the selected thickness from medium to bold, as specifically shown in d of Figure 3A.

[0164] 3A d shows user interface A34, which is a "Text Format" details page provided by electronic device 100. The "Text Format" details page in user interface A33 includes, but is not limited to, tabs A341, A342, and A343. This "Text Format" details page is similar to the "Text Format" details page shown in user interface A33, except that the selected font and weight are different.

[0165] After the user selects the text format corresponding to "Huawen Xingkai" and "Bold", if the electronic device 100 returns to the previous level, that is, returns to the "Display in App" details page, the text format included in the external screen display effect displayed in the "Display in App" details page is "Huawen Xingkai" and "Bold" (see a in FIG. 3B for details). Alternatively, after the user opens the external screen of the electronic device 100, the text format displayed on the external screen is "Huawen Xingkai" and "Bold".

[0166] The user interface A31-user interface A34 shown in Figure 3A in the embodiment of the present application is only an example. In other implementations, the user interface A31-user interface A34 may also include more or fewer controls to ensure that an operation entry for customized external screen display effects (such as text format, information layout, background and foreground) is provided, which should not constitute a limitation to the present application.

[0167] FIG3B exemplarily shows a set of user-defined operation interfaces for information layout in the second partition.

[0168] a in Figure 3B shows a user interface B31, which is an "in-app display" details page provided by the electronic device 100. The "in-app display" details page here is, for example, a page displayed after the electronic device receives the control for returning to the previous level shown in d in Figure 3A.

[0169] The "In-app Display" details page in the user interface B31 includes but is not limited to: tab B311, tab B312, tab B313, tab B314 and tab B315. The "In-app Display" details page in the user interface B31 is similar to the "In-app Display" details page in the aforementioned user interface A32. For the similarities between the two pages, please refer to the previous description. The differences between the two pages include: the partition display effect of the current external screen previewed in tab B311 of the user interface B31 is to display the status information of the electronic device, such as time and capsule, in the second partition, where the font of the time application is Chinese running script and the thickness of the application is bold, and the font of the time application previewed in tab A321 of the user interface A32 is regular script and the thickness of the application is medium.

[0170] The electronic device 100 may receive an operation acting on the control (tab B313) of the information layout shown in a of FIG3B . In response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may display the “Information Layout” details page, as specifically shown in b of FIG3B .

[0171] b in FIG. 3B shows a user interface B32 , which is an “information layout” detail page provided by the electronic device 100 .

[0172] The "Information Layout" details page in user interface B32 includes, but is not limited to, tabs B321, B322, B323, B324, B325, and B326. These tabs correspond to different information layouts, and the user can select any tab to apply the corresponding information layout in the second partition.

[0173] Tab B321 includes a specific information layout form and corresponding controls. The information layout form is, for example, to display time and capsules, and the time is arranged above the capsules, wherein the capsules can contain key information provided by some applications. Taking taxi applications as an example, the capsules can contain the license plate numbers that have been hailed, etc. The corresponding control displays the prompt text "Time + Capsule". Since the current tab B321 is in the selected state, the second partition of the electronic device 100 is applying the information layout corresponding to the tab B321, specifically the information layout form shown in tab B311 in a of Figure 3B.

[0174] Tab B322 includes a specific information layout and corresponding controls. The information layout, for example, displays a capsule and time, with the capsule arranged above the time. The corresponding control displays a prompt text of "Capsule + Time".

[0175] Tab B323 includes a specific information layout and corresponding controls. For example, the information layout displays only the time and hides the capsule, and displays the time in a row by horizontal expansion. The corresponding control displays the prompt text "Hide capsule 1".

[0176] Tab B324 includes a specific information layout and corresponding controls. For example, the information layout displays only the time, hiding the capsule, and displays the time and minute in two lines, one above the other. The corresponding control displays a prompt text "Hide capsule 2."

[0177] Tab B325 includes a specific information layout and corresponding controls. The information layout, for example, only displays the capsule and hides the time. The corresponding control displays a prompt text "Hide time".

[0178] Tab B326 includes more controls, and the user can select the more controls to further expand more information layout forms for the user to select.

[0179] The electronic device 100 can receive an operation acting on the tab B323 shown in b of Figure 3B. In response to the operation, the electronic device 100 can switch the selected tab from tab B321 to tab B323, and display the layout form corresponding to tab B323 in the second partition, as shown in c and d of Figure 3B.

[0180] Figure 3B c shows a user interface B33, which is an "information layout" details page provided by the electronic device 100. The "information layout" details page in the user interface B33 includes but is not limited to: tab B331, tab B332, tab B333, tab B334, tab B335, and tab B336. The "information layout" details page here is similar to the "information layout" details page shown in the aforementioned user interface B32, the difference being that the information layout format in the selected state is different. For the similarities between the two pages, please refer to the previous description and will not be repeated here.

[0181] After the user selects the information layout corresponding to tab B323, if the electronic device 100 returns to the previous level, that is, returns to the "In-App Display" details page, the external screen display effect displayed in the "In-App Display" details page includes the information layout format corresponding to tab B323 (see d in FIG. 3B for details).

[0197] The "In-app Display" details page in user interface C34 includes but is not limited to: tab C341, tab C342, tab C343, tab C344, and tab C345. The "In-app Display" details page in user interface C34 is similar to the "In-app Display" details page in the aforementioned user interface C31. For the similarities between the two pages, please refer to the previous description. The differences between the two pages include: the background previewed in tab C341 of user interface C34 is a cartoon theme, and the background displayed in tab C344 is also a cartoon theme, while the background previewed in tab C311 of user interface C31 is a simple theme, and the background displayed in tab C314 is a simple theme.

[0198] The user interface C31-user interface C34 shown in Figure 3C in the embodiment of the present application is only an example. In other implementations, the user interface C31-user interface C34 may also include more or fewer controls. It is only necessary to ensure that a customized external screen background is provided, which should not constitute a limitation to the present application.

[0199] FIG3D exemplarily shows a group of user-defined operation interfaces in the foreground of the second partition.

[0200] FIG3D a shows user interface D31, which is the "In-App Display" details page provided by electronic device 100. This details page includes, but is not limited to, tabs D311, D312, D313, D314, and D315. The "In-App Display" details page in user interface D31 is identical to the "Split Screen Personalization" details page in user interface C34. For details, please refer to the previous description and will not be repeated here.

[0201] The electronic device 100 may receive an operation acting on the control of the foreground shown in a of FIG. 3D . In response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may display the “foreground” details page, as specifically shown in b of FIG. 3D .

[0202] 3D b shows a user interface D32, which is a "foreground" details page provided by the electronic device 100. The "background" details page includes but is not limited to: a tab D321, a tab D322, a tab D323, and a tab D324.

[0205] Tab D323 includes a control for disabling / enabling extended elements. The control in tab D323 is currently disabled. The user can click this control to expand the extended elements for selection. The user can select the desired extended element to display as the foreground of the second partition on the external screen. An extended element is an element whose main portion is displayed in the second partition, with a small portion extending beyond the second partition into the first partition. This allows the foreground element selected by the user to be fully displayed even when the display area of ​​the second partition is limited.

[0206] Tab D324 includes a control for triggering editing of a resource template, wherein a resource template refers to a template for displaying status information of an electronic device in the second partition of the external screen, and different templates may correspond to different display areas in the external screen.

[0207] The electronic device 100 may receive an operation acting on the control of the extended element shown in b of FIG. 3D . In response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may expand and display the extended element for user selection, as specifically shown in c of FIG. 3D .

[0208] FIG3D c shows user interface D33, which is a "Foreground" details page provided by electronic device 100. This "Foreground" details page is similar to the "Foreground" details page shown in user interface D32. The similarities between the two pages can be found in the previous description and will not be repeated here. The difference between the two pages is that user interface D33 displays expanded elements for the user to select. The user can select the desired extended element (e.g., select a flower arrangement) by operating on the switch control D333a / D333b.

[0209] Optionally, b and c in Figure 3D only exemplify a foreground setting details page. In addition, the foreground details page provided by the electronic device can also directly display the various tab sheets corresponding to static elements, dynamic elements, and extended elements. The tab sheets include detailed element content. Users can switch the display and select the corresponding element content by sliding left and right, thereby eliminating the need to provide a switch control. The corresponding switch must be turned on first, and the detailed element content will be expanded and displayed for selection only when the switch control is on.

[0210] After the user selects the extended element, if the electronic device 100 returns to the previous level, that is, returns to the "In-App Display" details page, the external screen display effect displayed in the "In-App Display" details page includes the foreground corresponding to the extended element (see d in Figure 3D for details). Alternatively, after the user opens the external screen of the electronic device 100, the display effect on the external screen also includes the foreground corresponding to the extended element.

[0211] 3D d shows a user interface D34, which is an "app display" details page provided by the electronic device 100. The "app display" details page here is, for example, a page displayed after the electronic device receives the control shown in FIG3D c to return to the previous level.

[0212] The "Display in App" details page in user interface D34 includes, but is not limited to, tabs D341, D342, D343, D344, and D345. The "Display in App" details page in user interface D34 is similar to the "Display in App" details page in user interface D31. For similarities between the two pages, please refer to the previous description. The differences between the two pages include: the foreground of the preview in tab D341 of user interface D34 is a floral arrangement, and the foreground displayed in tab D345 is also a floral arrangement. The preview effect in tab D311 of user interface D31 has no foreground, and the foreground displayed in tab D315 is not applied.

[0213] The user interface D31-user interface D34 shown in Figure 3D in the embodiment of the present application is only an example. In other implementations, the user interface D31-user interface D34 may also include more or fewer controls. It is only necessary to ensure that a method for customizing the external screen foreground is provided, and it should not constitute a limitation to the present application.

[0214] The aforementioned Figures 3A-3D only use the various setting interfaces displayed on the inner screen of the electronic device 100 as an example to introduce a set of operation interface schematics for customizing the screen partition display effect provided by an embodiment of the present application. In addition, after customizing the screen partition display effect, if the external screen of the electronic device 100 is opened, the display effect on the external screen is the same as the preview effect displayed in each setting interface on the inner screen. That is, after each custom operation is completed, if you return to the "Display in Application" details page, the external screen display effect displayed on the "Display in Application" details page is the effect actually displayed on the external screen. This application has not yet displayed the actual external screen display effects one by one.

[0215] 4A-4B are schematic diagrams of interfaces for screen partition display in a set of special scenarios provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0216] FIG. 4A exemplarily shows an interface of screen partition display in a group of movie viewing scenes.

[0217] FIG4A a shows user interface A41, which is the main interface displayed on the external screen of electronic device 100. This main interface includes a second partition and a first partition. The second and first partitions jointly display the system theme background, i.e., the aforementioned minimalist theme background. The first partition displays application icons, and the second partition displays time and capsules. The information layout corresponding to the time and capsules is the default "time + capsule" layout used by electronic device 100, and the text format of the time is also the default "Kaiti / Moderate / Black" format used by the electronic device.

[0218] After the electronic device 100 receives an operation on the icon of application A shown in a of Figure 4A, in response to the operation, the electronic device displays the running interface of application A in the first partition. Then, the electronic device 100 determines that the user has not customized the display effect of the second partition before, and the current first partition belongs to a movie viewing scene in a special scene. The electronic device 100 then displays the preset effect in the second partition according to the screen partition display strategy under the special scene, specifically the user interface A42 shown in b of Figure 4A described below.

[0219] FIG4A b shows user interface A42, which is displayed on the external screen of electronic device 100. This interface includes a second partition and a first partition. The first partition displays the running interface of application A, which plays a movie provided by application A. The second partition displays a black background and a capsule according to the strategy corresponding to the viewing scene in the special scene, and hides the status information of the electronic device, such as the time. This ensures that the user can focus on the movie playing in the first partition without distracting the user's concentration, creating an immersive viewing experience for the user.

[0220] In the embodiment of the present application, the background displayed in the second partition shown in b in FIG. 4A may also be referred to as a fifth background.

[0221] FIG4B exemplarily shows an interface of screen partition display in a group of chat scenarios.

[0222] 4B a shows a user interface B41, which is the main interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. This main interface is the same as the main interface in the aforementioned user interface A41, and the detailed introduction of this main interface can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated here.

[0223] After the electronic device 100 receives an operation on the icon of application B shown in a of Figure 4B, it displays the running interface of application B in the first partition in response to the operation. Then the electronic device 100 determines that the user has not customized the display effect of the second partition before, and the current first partition belongs to a chat scene in a special scene. The electronic device 100 then displays the preset effect in the second partition according to the screen partition display strategy under the special scene, specifically the user interface B42 shown in b of Figure 4B described below.

[0224] b in Figure 4B shows a user interface B42, which is an interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. The interface includes a second partition and a first partition. The first partition displays the running interface of application B, and the running interface is specifically a chat interface. The background displayed by the second partition is generated by extracting elements from the chat background in the first partition. Among them, the extracted elements include, for example, colors and patterns, and a background similar to the chat background can be obtained by tiling the pattern on the color. In this way, the two partitions of the screen can be associated, thereby weakening the sense of separation between the screen partitions, enhancing the visual beauty, and giving the user a full-screen joint display visual experience. In addition, the second partition can continue to display the status information of the electronic device (such as time or capsule, etc.).

[0225] In an embodiment of the present application, the chat interface in the first partition shown in b in Figure 4B can also be referred to as the first chat page, and the background displayed in the second partition can also be referred to as the first background. The image elements and color elements contained in the first background are generated after being extracted from the background of the first chat page. In addition, the time, date, capsule prompt and other information displayed in the second partition can also be referred to as the first information. Before displaying the first information, the electronic device can receive a second operation input by the user for customizing the display effect of the first information. The second operation, for example, includes one or more operations shown in Figures 3A to 3D described above.

[0226] It can be understood that Figure 4B only introduces a chat page as an example. If the electronic device receives a first operation for switching to the second chat page after displaying the first chat page, the electronic device will display the second chat page provided by application B in the first partition, and display the second background in the second partition. The image elements and color elements contained in the second background are generated after being extracted from the background of the second chat page.

[0227] 5A-5B are schematic diagrams of interfaces for screen partition display using a dynamic blur strategy in a set of common scenarios provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0228] FIG5A exemplarily shows a group of interfaces displayed by screen partitions corresponding to a dynamic blur strategy.

[0229] 5A a shows a user interface A51, which is the main interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. This main interface is the same as the main interface in the aforementioned user interface A41, and the detailed introduction of this main interface can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated here.

[0230] After the electronic device 100 receives an operation on the icon of application C shown in a of Figure 5A, it displays the running interface of application C in the first partition in response to the operation. After that, the electronic device 100 determines that the first partition is not in a special scene and starts to detect whether application C in the first partition belongs to the motion blur whitelist. If so, the electronic device 100 displays the motion blur effect in the second partition, specifically the user interface shown in b and c of Figure 5A described below.

[0231] FIG5A b shows user interface A52, which is displayed on the external screen of electronic device 100. This interface includes a second partition and a first partition. The first partition displays the running interface of application C, which includes the song playback interface provided by application C. The second partition displays a dynamic blurred background according to the corresponding dynamic blur strategy in ordinary scenes. The dynamic blurred background is the content of application C displayed in the first partition obtained by electronic device 100 in real time, and then displayed in the second partition after being blurred.

[0232] Figure 5A, c, shows user interface A53, which is displayed on the external screen of electronic device 100. User interface A53 is similar to user interface A52, except that the song playback interface has changed. Specifically, the album icon in the first partition of user interface A53 has been rotated by a certain angle relative to the album icon in the first partition of user interface A52, and the blurred album icon in the second partition of user interface A53 has been rotated by the same angle relative to the blurred album icon in the second partition of user interface A52. This ensures that the background of the second partition is dynamically refreshed synchronously with the content of the application in the first partition, while the blurring effect does not affect the user's focus on the key content of the first partition, creating a full-screen combined display visual experience for the user and enhancing the display aesthetics.

[0233] FIG5B exemplarily shows another group of interfaces displayed by screen partitions corresponding to the dynamic blur strategy.

[0234] 5B a shows a user interface B51, which is the main interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. This main interface is the same as the main interface in the aforementioned user interface A41. For a detailed introduction to this main interface, please refer to the previous description and will not be repeated here.

[0235] After the electronic device 100 receives an operation on the icon of application D shown in a of Figure 5B, it displays the running interface of application D in the first partition in response to the operation. After that, the electronic device 100 determines that the first partition is not in a special scene and starts to detect whether application D in the first partition belongs to the motion blur whitelist. If so, the electronic device 100 displays the motion blur effect in the second partition, specifically the user interface shown in b and c of Figure 5B described below.

[0236] FIG5B b shows a user interface B52, which is displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. The interface includes a second partition and a first partition. The first partition displays the running interface of application D, which displays images provided by application D. The second partition displays a dynamic blurred background according to the corresponding dynamic blur strategy in ordinary scenes. The dynamic blurred background is the content of application D displayed in the first partition obtained by the electronic device 100 in real time, and then displayed in the second partition after being blurred.

[0237] After the electronic device 100 receives a sliding operation on the image shown in b of Figure 5B, in response to the operation, the next image is switched to be displayed in the first partition, and the dynamically blurred background is also refreshed accordingly in the second partition, specifically the user interface shown in c of Figure 5B described below.

[0238] Figure 5B c shows a user interface B53, which is an interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. The user interface B53 is similar to the aforementioned user interface B52, except that different images are switched and displayed. Specifically, the image displayed in the first partition of the user interface B53 is switched from the front face image displayed in the first partition of the user interface B52 to a side face image, and the blurred image in the second partition of the user interface B53 is also switched from the front face image blurred in the second partition of the user interface B52 to a side face image. In this way, it can be ensured that the background of the second partition is dynamically refreshed synchronously with the content of the application in the first partition, and because of the blurring effect, it does not affect the user's focus on the key content of the first partition, creating a full-screen joint display visual experience for the user and improving the display aesthetics.

[0239] It can be understood that Figures 5A and 5B only use two applications as an example to introduce the display effects corresponding to the dynamic blur strategy. In addition, this application can also add more applications to the dynamic blur whitelist. For example, applications that provide short videos, images, and songs can be added to the dynamic blur whitelist. This can better integrate the applications of the second partition with the first partition.

[0240] Alternatively, Figures 5A and 5B illustrate blurring the entire background of the second partition. Alternatively, only the background near the hole in the second partition may be blurred, while the rest of the image remains clear. For example, if the hole is the lower portion of the second partition, only the lower 1 / 3 of the second partition may be blurred.

[0241] In the embodiment of the present application, the running interface of application D in the first partition shown in FIG5A b can also be referred to as the first page, the background displayed in the second partition can also be referred to as the eighth background, and the eighth background is the blurred content of part or all of the first page. In addition, the time, date, capsule prompt, and other information displayed in the second partition can also be referred to as the fourth information. In addition, before displaying the fourth information, the electronic device can receive a fourth operation input by the user for customizing the display effect of the fourth information. The fourth operation can, for example, include one or more of the operations shown in FIG3A-3D described above.

[0242] It can be understood that Figure 5A only introduces a page of application D as an example. If the electronic device receives an operation for switching to the second page after displaying the first page, the electronic device will display the second page provided by application D in the first partition and display the ninth background in the second partition. The ninth background is part or all of the content of the second page after blurring.

[0243] FIG6 is a schematic diagram of an interface for screen partition display using an application self-configuration strategy in a set of common scenarios provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0244] 6 a shows a user interface 61, which is the main interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. This main interface is the same as the main interface in the aforementioned user interface A41, and the detailed introduction of the main interface can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated here.

[0245] After the electronic device 100 receives an operation on the icon of application E shown in a of Figure 6, it displays the running interface of application E in the first partition in response to the operation. Then the electronic device 100 determines that the first partition is not in a special scene and that application E in the first partition does not belong to the whitelist of dynamic blur. The electronic device 100 then detects whether application E self-configures the display effect of the second partition. If so, the corresponding effect is displayed in the second partition according to the self-configuration of application E, specifically the user interface shown in b of Figure 6 described below.

[0246] FIG6 b shows a user interface 62, which is displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. This interface includes a second partition and a first partition. The first partition displays the running interface of application E, while the second partition is displayed according to the background configured by application E. This self-configured background is, for example, the same background color as the running interface of application E. In addition, application E can also configure the background of the second partition to other colors, including but not limited to solid colors, gradients, etc., which are not exemplified in this application.

[0247] FIG7 is a schematic diagram of an interface for screen partition display using a dynamic color selection strategy in a set of common scenarios provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0248] 7 a shows a user interface 71, which is the main interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. This main interface is the same as the main interface in the aforementioned user interface A41, and the detailed introduction of the main interface can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated here.

[0249] After the electronic device 100 receives an operation on the icon of application F shown in a of Figure 7, the running interface of application F is displayed in the first partition in response to the operation. Then, the electronic device 100 determines that the first partition is not in a special scene, and application F in the first partition neither belongs to the whitelist of dynamic blur nor has a self-configured display effect for the second partition. It then detects whether application F supports dynamic color selection. If so, the background color of the running interface of application F is obtained in real time, and then the corresponding background is displayed in the second partition based on the obtained background color, specifically as shown in the user interfaces shown in b and c of Figures 7 described below.

[0250] FIG7 b shows a user interface 72, which is an interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. The interface includes a second partition and a first partition. The first partition displays the running interface of application F. The background displayed in the second partition is obtained based on the background of the running interface of application F. For example, if the background color of the running interface of application F is dark gray, the same dark gray will be displayed in the second partition. In addition, the background of the second partition can also be configured to be a light gray similar to the dark gray in application F, or a gradient color from dark gray to light gray, etc. This application does not provide examples one by one.

[0251] After the electronic device 100 receives a click operation on number 7 shown in b of Figure 7, in response to the operation, the schedule details page of number 7 is switched to be displayed in the first partition, and the background in the second partition is also refreshed accordingly following the background color of the schedule details page, as shown in the user interface shown in c of Figure 7 described below.

[0252] Figure 7c shows a user interface 73, which is the interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. The interface includes a second partition and a first partition. The first partition displays the running interface of application F. Here, the background color of the running interface of application F is switched from the aforementioned dark gray to white. The electronic device 100 can obtain the white color after the switch and switch the background color of the second partition to white. In this way, the background of the second partition can be dynamically refreshed synchronously with the background of the first partition, creating a full-screen joint display visual experience for the user and improving the display aesthetics.

[0253] In an embodiment of the present application, the operation for starting application F (also known as the fourth application) shown in Figure 7a can also be referred to as the third operation. The interface displayed in the first partition shown in Figure 7a can also be referred to as the third page, and the background displayed in the second partition can also be referred to as the tenth background. The color of the tenth background is the same as or similar to the background color of the third page. In addition, the time, date, capsule prompt and other information displayed in the second partition can also be referred to as the fifth information. In addition, before displaying the uth information, the electronic device can receive a fifth operation input by the user for customizing the display effect of the fifth information. The fifth operation, for example, includes one or more operations shown in Figures 3A to 3D described above.

[0254] It can be understood that Figure 7 only introduces one page of application F as an example. If the electronic device receives an operation for switching to the fourth page after displaying the third page, the electronic device will display the fourth page provided by application F in the first partition and display the eleventh background in the second partition. The color of the eleventh background is the same as or similar to the background color of the fourth page.

[0255] FIG8 is a schematic diagram of an interface for screen partition display using a default background strategy in a set of common scenarios provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0256] 8 a shows a user interface 81, which is the main interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. This main interface is similar to the main interface in the aforementioned user interface A41, and the specific introduction to this main interface can be referred to the previous description and will not be repeated here.

[0257] After the electronic device 100 receives an operation on the icon of application G shown in a of Figure 8, the running interface of application G is displayed in the first partition in response to the operation. Then the electronic device 100 determines that the first partition is not in a special scene, and application F in the first partition neither belongs to the whitelist of dynamic blur nor has a self-configured display effect for the second partition nor supports dynamic color selection. The default background is used as the background of the second partition for display, as shown in the user interface shown in b of Figure 8 described below.

[0258] FIG8 b shows a user interface 82, which is an interface displayed on the external screen of the electronic device 100. The interface includes a second partition and a first partition. The first partition displays the running interface of the application G, and the background displayed in the second partition is the default background provided by the electronic device 100. The default background is, for example, a low-saturation gray, which is a versatile color that can be adapted to the various colors displayed in the first partition. In addition, the default background of the second partition can also be configured as a gradient color, etc., which will not be exemplified in this application.

[0259] Next, the form and hardware architecture of the electronic device 100 involved in this application are introduced. The electronic device 100 may be equipped with or portable terminal devices with other operating systems, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, desktop computers, laptop computers, handheld computers, notebook computers, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), netbooks, as well as cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), augmented reality (AR) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, artificial intelligence (AI) devices, wearable devices, in-vehicle devices, smart home devices and / or smart city devices, etc.

[0260] FIG9 shows a schematic diagram of the hardware architecture of the electronic device 100 .

[0261] As shown in FIG9 , the electronic device 100 may include: a processor 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a universal serial bus (USB) interface 130, a sensor module 180, a display screen 194, etc. The sensor module 180 may include a pressure sensor 180A, a touch sensor 180K, etc.

[0262] It should be understood that the structures illustrated in the embodiments of the present application do not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine or separate certain components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0263] The processor 110 may include one or more processing units. For example, the processor 110 may include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a memory, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and / or a neural-network processing unit (NPU). The different processing units may be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors.

[0264] The controller may be the nerve center and command center of the electronic device 100. The controller may generate an operation control signal according to the instruction operation code and the timing signal to complete the control of fetching and executing instructions.

[0265] Processor 110 may also include a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in processor 110 is a cache memory. This memory can store instructions or data that have just been used or are being recycled by processor 110. If processor 110 needs to use the same instruction or data again, it can directly access the memory. This avoids duplicate accesses, reduces processor 110 latency, and thus improves system efficiency.

[0266] In some embodiments, the processor 110 may include one or more interfaces. The interface may include a universal serial bus (USB) interface, etc. The USB interface 130 is an interface that complies with USB standard specifications, and may specifically be a Mini USB interface, a Micro USB interface, a USB Type C interface, etc. The USB interface 130 can be used to connect a charger to charge the electronic device 100, and can also be used to transfer data between the electronic device 100 and peripheral devices. It can also be used to connect headphones to play audio through the headphones. The interface can also be used to connect other electronic devices, such as AR devices.

[0267] It is understood that the interface connection relationship between the modules illustrated in the embodiment of the present application is merely an illustrative illustration and does not constitute a structural limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may also adopt different interface connection methods from the above embodiments, or a combination of multiple interface connection methods.

[0268] Electronic device 100 implements display functionality through a GPU, display screen 194, and an application processor. A GPU is a microprocessor for image processing that connects display screen 194 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. Processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or modify display information.

[0269] The display screen 194 is used to display images, videos, etc. The display screen 194 includes a display panel. The display panel can be a liquid crystal display (LCD). The display screen panel can also be made of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode or an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), a miniLED, a microLED, a micro-OLED, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), etc. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 can include one or N display screens 194, where N is a positive integer greater than one.

[0270] The internal memory 121 may include one or more random access memories (RAM) and one or more non-volatile memories (NVM). The internal memory 121 may be used to store computer executable program code, which includes instructions. The processor 110 executes various functional applications and data processing of the electronic device 100 by running the instructions stored in the internal memory 121. The internal memory 121 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. Among them, the program storage area may store an operating system, an application required for at least one function (such as a sound playback function, an image and video playback function, etc.), etc. The data storage area may store data created during the use of the electronic device 100 (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.), etc.

[0271] The external memory interface 120 can be used to connect to an external non-volatile memory to expand the storage capacity of the electronic device 100. The external non-volatile memory communicates with the processor 110 via the external memory interface 120 to implement data storage. For example, files such as music and videos can be stored in the external non-volatile memory.

[0272] Pressure sensor 180A is used to sense pressure signals and convert them into electrical signals. In some embodiments, pressure sensor 180A can be located on display screen 194. There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive, inductive, and capacitive. A capacitive pressure sensor can include at least two parallel plates made of conductive material. When force acts on pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. Electronic device 100 determines the intensity of the pressure based on this change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to display screen 194, electronic device 100 detects the touch intensity based on pressure sensor 180A. Electronic device 100 can also calculate the touch location based on the detection signal from pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations applied to the same touch location but with different touch intensities can correspond to different operation instructions. For example, when a touch operation with an intensity less than a first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to view short messages is executed. When a touch operation with an intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to create a new short message is executed.

[0273] The touch sensor 180K is also called a "touch panel." The touch sensor 180K can be disposed on the display screen 194. The touch sensor 180K and the display screen 194 form a touch screen, also called a "touch screen." The touch sensor 180K is used to detect touch operations applied thereto or in the vicinity thereof. The touch sensor can transmit the detected touch operations to the application processor to determine the type of touch event. Visual output related to the touch operations can be provided via the display screen 194. In other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K can also be disposed on the surface of the electronic device 100, in a location different from that of the display screen 194.
