Description

Display method, electronic device, and related apparatus

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410470954.2, filed on April 17, 2024, and entitled "Display method, electronic device, and related apparatus", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of terminal, and in particular, to a display method, an electronic device, and related apparatus. BACKGROUND

[0003] With the development of electronic devices, the display screen of the electronic device becomes larger and larger. In order to facilitate user operation, foldable screen devices emerge as the times require. An important differentiating experience of foldable screen devices is the interaction function between the inner screen and the outer screen. At present, in the folding and unfolding process of the foldable screen device, the foldable screen device can display an animation, but the animation is single. SUMMARY

[0004] Embodiments of the present application provide a display method, an electronic device, and related apparatus, which can enrich the animation displayed by the foldable screen device in the folding and unfolding process.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a display method. The execution subject of the display method can be a foldable screen device or a chip, a processor, etc. in the foldable screen device. The following takes the foldable screen device as an example to illustrate the execution subject. In the present application, the foldable screen device includes a first screen and a second screen. In some embodiments, the first screen can be referred to as an outer screen, and the second screen can be referred to as an inner screen.

[0006] In the method, when the foldable screen device is in a folded state, the first screen can be a bright screen, a black screen, or an off screen. When the first screen is a bright screen, the foldable screen device can display a first image on the first screen. When the first screen is a black screen or an off screen, the foldable screen device can control the first screen to be bright and display the first image on the first screen. For example, when the first screen is a black screen or an off screen, the user can operate the power button of the foldable screen device or touch the first screen of the foldable screen device to trigger the foldable screen device to control the first screen to be bright.

[0007] The user can unfold the foldable screen device. In the process of unfolding from the folded state to the unfolded state, the foldable screen device can control the first screen to be black and the second screen to be bright, and display a first animation on the second screen. The process of unfolding from the folded state to the unfolded state is described in detail as follows: in the process of unfolding from the folded state to a preset angle, the foldable screen device can display a first image on the first screen. When unfolded to the preset angle, the foldable screen device can control the first screen to be black and the second screen to be bright, and start displaying the first animation on the second screen. In the process of unfolding from the preset angle to the unfolded state, the foldable screen device can display the first animation on the second screen.

[0008] When the foldable screen device is in the unfolded state, the foldable screen device can control the second screen to be black or off. For example, the user can operate the power button of the foldable screen device, or if the user does not use the foldable screen device for a period of time (for example, does not touch the second screen for a period of time), the foldable screen device can control the second screen to be black or off.

[0009] In the case that the second screen is black or off, the foldable screen device can control the second screen to be bright, and display a second image on the second screen. For example, the user can operate the power button of the foldable screen device to trigger the foldable screen device to control the second screen to be bright.

[0010] When the foldable screen device is in the unfolded state, the user can fold the foldable screen device. In the process of folding from the unfolded state to the folded state, the foldable screen device can display a second animation on the second screen. The process of folding from the unfolded state to the folded state is described in detail as follows: in the process of folding from the unfolded state to a preset angle, the foldable screen device can display the second animation on the second screen. When folded to the preset angle, the foldable screen device can control the second screen to be black and the first screen to be bright, and display a third image on the first screen. In the process of folding from the preset angle to the folded state, the foldable screen device can display the third image on the first screen, and the third image is the last animation frame of the second animation.

[0011] In the embodiments of the present application, the animation frames displayed on the second screen are different at the same folding angle in the unfolding process and the folding process.

[0012] In the embodiments of the present application, the foldable screen device can display different animations on the second screen in the unfolding process and the folding process, which can enrich the interface display of the folding process and improve the user experience. In addition, the second screen can display different animation frames at the same folding angle in the unfolding process and the folding process, which facilitates the user to distinguish the folding process or the unfolding process.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the first animation and the second animation are two parts of one animation. For example, the first animation can be the first half of the animation, and the second animation can be the second half of the animation. Alternatively, the first animation can be the second half of the animation, and the second animation can be the first half of the animation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In this example, because the first animation and the second animation are two parts of one animation, the first animation and the second animation are associated in content and have continuity, and therefore, the user can see a continuous animation in the process of folding and unfolding the foldable screen device, and the user experience is high.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the animation is related to a scene in which the foldable screen device is located. For example, the scene includes at least one of the following: time, place, weather, and user behavior.

[0015] In this implementation, when the foldable screen device is located in different scenes, the foldable screen device can display different animations on the second screen when the user unfolds or folds the foldable screen device, which is more suitable for the scene in which the user is located and brings an immersive experience to the user.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the first image is related to the animation. For example, the first image is the first animation frame of the first animation, or the first image is a preset image corresponding to the animation.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the second image is related to the animation. For example, the second image is the last animation frame of the first animation, or the second image is the first animation frame of the second animation, or the second image is a preset image corresponding to the animation.

[0018] In this implementation, various forms of the first image and the second image can be configured, and the display of the image in the process of unfolding and folding the foldable screen device can be enriched.

[0019] In a possible implementation, when the foldable screen device is unfolded to the unfolded state, the foldable screen device can display a desktop. For example, in the process of unfolding the foldable screen device from the folded state to the unfolded state, the foldable screen device is unlocked, and the foldable screen device can display the desktop. Alternatively, for example, in the process of unfolding the foldable screen device from the folded state to the unfolded state, the foldable screen device is not unlocked, and the user can trigger to unlock the foldable screen device when the foldable screen device is in the unfolded state. After the foldable screen device is unlocked, the foldable screen device can display the desktop.

[0020] The user can select an application icon on the desktop to open the application. In this way, the foldable device can display an application interface on the second screen. In this scenario, if the user folds the foldable device, the foldable device can display a second animation on the second screen during the folding process from the unfolded state to the folded state. Similarly, if the user unfolds the foldable device, the foldable device can display a third animation on the second screen during the unfolding process from the folded state to the unfolded state. In this example, the second animation and the third animation are two parts of one animation, and the first animation does not belong to this animation, that is, the first animation belongs to another animation.

[0021] In this implementation, in other words, during the folding and unfolding processes of the foldable device, the two animations displayed on the second screen belong to one animation. It is conceivable that the first animation and the animation displayed on the second screen during the last folding process can belong to one animation.

[0022] Taking the second animation and the third animation as belonging to the same animation as an example, in a possible implementation, the animation is related to the content in the interface. The interface is: the application interface displayed on the second screen in the unfolded state before the second screen is blacked out or turned off. That is, after the foldable device displays the first animation on the second screen, when the foldable device is in the unfolded state, the application interface is displayed on the second screen, and the animation is related to the content in the application interface.

[0023] In this implementation, during the folding and unfolding processes of the foldable device, the foldable device can generate a corresponding animation based on the content in the interface of the application, which can give the user a sense of continuity and improve the user experience.

[0024] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, the memory is used to store code instructions, and the processor is used to run the code instructions to execute the method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation manner of the first aspect.

[0025] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer readable storage medium, and the computer readable storage medium stores a computer program or instructions, when the computer program or instructions run on a computer, the computer program or instructions make the computer execute the method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation manner of the first aspect.

[0026] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer program product including a computer program, when the computer program runs on a computer, the computer program makes the computer execute the method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation manner of the first aspect.

[0027] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a chip or a chip system, which comprises at least one processor and a communication interface, the communication interface and the at least one processor are interconnected through a line, and the at least one processor is configured to run a computer program or an instruction to execute the method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation manner of the first aspect. The communication interface in the chip can be an input / output interface, a pin or a circuit, etc.

[0028] In a possible implementation, the chip or the chip system described in the present application further comprises at least one memory, and the at least one memory stores the instruction. The memory can be a storage unit inside the chip, for example, a register, a cache, etc., or a storage unit of the chip (for example, a read-only memory, a random access memory, etc.).

[0029] It should be understood that the second aspect to the fifth aspect of the present application correspond to the technical solution of the first aspect of the present application, and the beneficial effects obtained by each aspect and the corresponding possible implementation manner are similar, which will not be described herein again.

[0041] The electronic device in the embodiments of the present application is a foldable screen device. In some embodiments, the foldable screen device can be understood as a device with a foldable screen, and can also be referred to as a foldable device. For example, the electronic device in the embodiments of the present application can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (PAD), a personal computer (PC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device, a vehicle-mounted device, or a wearable device, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in a smart home, and the like. The form of the electronic device is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0042] In some embodiments, the foldable screen device in the embodiments of the present application supports up-down folding and / or left-right folding. In FIG. 1, the electronic device supporting up-down folding is taken as an example, and in FIG. 2, the electronic device supporting left-right folding is taken as an example.

[0043] Referring to a in FIG. 1, when the electronic device is in a folded state, the screen 1 of the electronic device is used to display content. For example, the screen 1 can display a screen-off interface. For example, the user can trigger the screen 1 to light up, and the screen 1 can display a lock screen interface or a desktop. The content displayed by the screen 1 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. a in FIG. 1 takes the screen 1 displaying a lock screen interface as an example. It should be understood that when the electronic device is in a folded state, the folding angle α of the electronic device is equal to 0°.

[0044] The user performs an upturning operation to unfold the electronic device. During unfolding, when the folding angle α of the electronic device is less than a preset angle, the screen 1 of the electronic device is used to display content (such as a lock screen interface), and the screen 2 is black. When the folding angle α is equal to the preset angle, the screen 1 is black, the screen 2 is lighted up, and the screen 2 is used to display content (such as a lock screen interface), as shown in b in FIG. 1. It should be understood that b in FIG. 1 does not show the screen 1. When the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the screen 2 of the electronic device is used to display content (such as a lock screen interface), and the screen 1 is black, as shown in c in FIG. 1. It should be understood that when the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the folding angle α of the electronic device is equal to 180°.

[0045] Similarly, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the user can also perform a folding operation to fold the electronic device. During the folding process, when the folding angle a of the electronic device is greater than or equal to the preset angle, the screen 2 of the electronic device is used to display content, and the screen 1 is black. When the folding angle a is less than the preset angle, the screen 2 is black, the screen 1 is bright, and the screen 1 is used to display content. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the screen 1 is used to display content.

[0046] Similarly, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the user can also perform a folding operation to fold the electronic device. During the folding process, when the folding angle a of the electronic device is greater than or equal to the preset angle, the screen 2 of the electronic device is used to display content, and the screen 1 is black. When the folding angle a is less than the preset angle, the screen 2 is black, the screen 1 is bright, and the screen 1 is used to display content. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the screen 1 is used to display content.

[0047] Similarly, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the user can also perform a folding operation to fold the electronic device. During the folding process, when the folding angle a of the electronic device is greater than or equal to the preset angle, the screen 2 of the electronic device is used to display content, and the screen 1 is black. When the folding angle a is less than the preset angle, the screen 2 is black, the screen 1 is bright, and the screen 1 is used to display content. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the screen 1 is used to display content.

[0048] It can be understood that the electronic device can be provided with a Hall sensor, a gyroscope, a gravity sensor (G-sensor), and the like. The electronic device can calculate the folding angle of the electronic device according to the data collected by the device. In addition, the electronic device can also determine whether the electronic device is unfolded or folded according to the change trend of the folding angle, and the process is not described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

[0049] In some embodiments, the screen 1 can be referred to as an outer screen or a first screen of the electronic device, and the screen 2 can be referred to as an inner screen or a second screen of the electronic device.

[0050] In some embodiments, the physical state between the folded state and the unfolded state can be referred to as a hovering state, or an intermediate state.

[0051] It should be understood that the electronic device in the embodiments of the present application can include a first screen and a second screen. The first screen and the second screen can be two independent screens, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. In some embodiments, the first screen and the second screen can also be two parts of a complete screen, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the first screen is used to display content. When the folding angle of the electronic device is less than the preset angle, the first screen is used to display content, and the second screen is black. When the folding angle of the electronic device is equal to the preset angle, the first screen is black, the second screen is bright, and the second screen is used to display content. When the folding angle of the electronic device is greater than the preset angle, the second screen is used to display content. In addition, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the second screen is used to display content.

[0053] In the following embodiments, the electronic device shown in FIG. 1 is taken as an example to introduce the existing display method applied to the folding screen device.

[0054] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an existing display method. Referring to a of FIG. 3, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the screen 1 can display a lock screen interface, and the lock screen interface can include a lock screen wallpaper 1. For example, the lock screen wallpaper 1 can be “blooming flowers”. It should be understood that the lock screen interface can also include time, date and other information. During the unfolding process of the electronic device, referring to b of FIG. 3, when the folding angle of the electronic device is less than the preset angle, the screen 1 displays the lock screen wallpaper 1, and the screen 2 is black. When the folding angle of the electronic device is equal to the preset angle, the screen 1 is black, the screen 2 is bright and starts to display the animation of flower opening. Referring to c-e of FIG. 3, with the increase of the folding angle, in the animation of flower opening, the flower gradually changes from flower bud to blooming flower. It should be understood that c-e of FIG. 3 takes three animation frames in the animation of flower opening as an example.

[0055] When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the user can fold the electronic device. Referring to e, d and c of FIG. 3, during the folding process of the electronic device, the screen 2 can display the animation of flower closing. Wherein, with the decrease of the folding angle, in the animation of flower closing, the flower changes from blooming flower to flower bud. When the folding angle of the electronic device is less than the preset angle, the screen 2 is black, and the screen 1 can display the lock screen wallpaper 1, as shown in b of FIG. 3. When the electronic device is folded to the folded state, the screen 1 displays the lock screen interface, as shown in a of FIG. 3.

[0056] As in the above example, during the folding process and the unfolding process of the electronic device, the screen 2 can display an animation to improve the user experience, but the animation displayed by the screen 2 is single at present. Referring to the example in FIG. 3, the folding process and the unfolding process of the electronic device correspond to the same animation. During the unfolding process, the screen 2 displays the animation in the order from the first frame to the last frame. During the folding process, the screen 2 displays the animation in the order from the last frame to the first frame.

[0057] For example, referring to FIG. 4, the animation includes a plurality of animation frames, each of which corresponds to a folding angle. It should be understood that the animation frames are represented by boxes in FIG. 4. For example, when the folding angle is the preset angle, the screen 2 displays the first frame of the animation, such as the animation frame of the "flower bud". For example, when the folding angle is 100° (such as the folding angle 1 or the folding angle 2), the screen 2 displays the mth frame of the animation, such as the animation frame of the "half-opened flower". For example, when the folding angle is 180°, that is, the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the screen 2 displays the last frame of the animation, such as the animation frame of the "blooming flower". During the unfolding process of the electronic device, based on the folding angle, the screen 2 displays the animation in the order from the animation frame of the "flower bud" to the animation frame of the "blooming flower", so that the user can see the animation of the flower opening on the screen 2. During the folding process of the electronic device, based on the folding angle, the screen 2 displays the animation in the order from the animation frame of the "blooming flower" to the animation frame of the "flower bud", so that the user can see the animation of the flower closing on the screen 2.

[0058] Therefore, during the folding process and the unfolding process of the electronic device, the electronic device can display the corresponding animation frame in the animation according to the folding angle. However, in this method, the folding process and the unfolding process correspond to the same animation, and the animation is single. In addition, at the same folding angle during the folding process and the unfolding process, the screen 2 displays the same animation frame, so that the user cannot distinguish whether it is the folding process or the unfolding process. For example, whether it is the unfolding process or the folding process, when the folding angle is 100°, the screen 2 displays the animation frame of the "half-opened flower", and the user cannot distinguish whether it is the folding process or the unfolding process from the animation frame.

[0059] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a display method applied to a folding screen device, in which the folding process and the unfolding process of the electronic device correspond to different animations, which can enrich the interface display of the unfolding process and the folding process and improve the user experience. In addition, at the same folding angle during the folding process and the unfolding process, the screen 2 displays different animation frames, so that the user can distinguish whether it is the folding process or the unfolding process.

[0060] The display method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described below in combination with specific embodiments. The following embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in some embodiments.

[0061] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the display method provided by the embodiments of the present application. Referring to FIG. 5, the display method provided by the embodiments of the present application can include:

[0062] S501, during the process of unfolding from the folded state to the unfolded state, displaying a first animation on the second screen.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, in the unfolding process and the folding process, when the folding angle of the electronic device is equal to the preset angle, the second screen is bright, that is, when the folding angle of the electronic device is greater than or equal to the preset angle, the second screen is used to display content, and the electronic device can display content on the second screen.

[0064] Firstly, the unfolding process is introduced. In the process of unfolding the folding angle from the preset angle to the unfolded state, the electronic device can display a first animation on the second screen.

[0065] S502, in the process of folding from the unfolded state to the folded state, a second animation is displayed on the second screen, wherein the animation frames displayed by the second screen are different at the same folding angle in the unfolding process and the folding process.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, the first animation and the second animation are different. That is, the unfolding process and the folding process correspond to different animations. In this way, the animation frames displayed by the second screen are different at the same folding angle in the unfolding process and the folding process.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, in the unfolding process, each folding angle corresponds to at least one animation frame in the first animation. In the folding process, each folding angle corresponds to at least one animation frame in the second animation. In FIG. 6, one folding angle corresponds to one animation frame as an example. Because the first animation and the second animation are different, the second screen can display different animations in the unfolding process and the folding process, which can enrich the interface display of the folding process and the unfolding process. In addition, because the first animation and the second animation are different, the second screen can display different animation frames at the same folding angle in the unfolding process and the folding process. Thus, when the electronic device is in the hovering state, the user can distinguish whether the electronic device is in the folding process or the unfolding process according to the animation frames displayed on the second screen. It should be understood that in order to reflect the difference between the first animation and the second animation, the animation frames in the first animation are represented by white shaded boxes, and the animation frames in the second animation are represented by gray shaded boxes.

[0068] For example, referring to a-c in FIG. 7, in the process of unfolding from the folded state to the unfolded state, the electronic device displays a first animation on the second screen. For example, the first animation is an animation of a flower blooming. Referring to d-f in FIG. 7, in the process of folding from the unfolded state to the folded state, the electronic device displays a second animation on the second screen. For example, the second animation shows a scene from small to large, such as the second animation first shows a flower in the shooting lens, and then shows the user's action of appreciating the flower shot.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present application, the second screen can display different animations in the unfolding process and the folding process, which can enrich the interface display of the folding process and improve the user experience. In addition, the second screen can display different animation frames at the same folding angle in the folding process and the unfolding process, which facilitates the user to distinguish whether it is the folding process or the unfolding process.

[0070] In the above embodiments, the method of "corresponding different animations in the unfolding process and the folding process" is introduced. In some embodiments, the first animation and the second animation can be two independent animations and are not related in content. For example, the first animation can be an animation of a flower blooming, and the second animation can be an animation of a parent sending a child to school.

[0071] In order to improve the relevance and continuity of the animations displayed by the electronic device in the unfolding process and the folding process, in some embodiments, the first animation and the second animation can be two parts of one animation. For example, the first animation can be the first half of the animation, and the second animation can be the second half of the animation. Alternatively, the first animation can be the second half of the animation, and the second animation can be the first half of the animation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In this example, because the first animation and the second animation are two parts of one animation, the first animation and the second animation are related in content and have continuity, so that the user can see a continuous animation in the process of folding and unfolding the electronic device, and the user experience is high.

[0072] For example, the animation shows the process of a parent sending a child to school. The first animation can show the parent and the child walking towards the school gate, getting closer and closer to the school gate, and the child saying goodbye to the parent at the school gate. The second animation can show the parent watching the child walk into the school gate, the child getting farther and farther away from the parent, and the parent saying goodbye to the child.

[0073] In this example, in the unfolding process of the electronic device, the user can see the animation of the parent sending the child to the school gate on the second screen, and in the folding process of the electronic device, the user can see the animation of the child entering the school gate. The two animations have relevance and continuity, and for the user, a continuous animation can be seen on the second screen, which brings the user the feeling of playing a short play, and the interestingness and story are strong.

[0074] Referring to FIG. 8, the display method provided by the embodiments of the present application can include:

[0075] S801, the electronic device is in a folded state, the first screen is controlled to be bright, and a first image is displayed on the first screen.

[0076] In response to the unfolding operation of the user, the electronic device starts unfolding. In the process of unfolding from the folded state to the preset angle, the second screen is black, the first screen is used to display content, and the electronic device displays a first image on the first screen. For example, the electronic device is in the folded state, and when the first screen is black, in response to a trigger operation, the electronic device can control the first screen to be bright, and display the first image on the first screen. The trigger operation is, for example, that the user picks up the mobile phone, or that the user operates the power key of the electronic device, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0077] After the first screen is bright, the first image can be displayed, and the first image is related to the animation. The animation is a complete animation corresponding to the first animation and the second animation. Alternatively, the animation includes the first animation and the second animation.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first image can be the first animation frame of the first animation. In this example, because the user can unfold the electronic device at any time when the electronic device is in the folded state, the electronic device can display the first animation frame of the first animation on the first screen, so that when the user triggers the electronic device to unfold, the electronic device can quickly display the animation frame after the first animation frame on the first screen. For example, taking an animation of a parent sending a child to school as an example, the first image can be the first animation frame in the first animation. For example, the first animation frame shows a picture of the parent and the child walking towards the school gate, and in the animation frame, the parent and the child are a distance away from the school gate.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first image can be a preset image corresponding to the animation. The first image does not belong to the animation, that is, the first image is not an animation frame in the animation. For example, the animation is an animation of a parent sending a child to school, and the first image can be an image of the parent looking at the child with deep affection. In some embodiments, in order to reflect the relevance of the first image and the animation, the first image can be an image that can express the theme of the animation.

[0080] In some embodiments, before the first screen displays the first image, when the user does not set the screen-off display of the first screen, if the user does not use the electronic device for a period of time or the user operates the power key of the electronic device, the first screen can be black. When the user sets the screen-off display of the first screen, if the user does not use the electronic device for a period of time or the user operates the power key of the electronic device, the first screen can be off.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, the black screen can refer to that all the light emitting devices of the screen are triggered to be turned off, and the screen does not display content. The screen-off can refer to that part of the light emitting devices of the screen are triggered to be turned off, and the remaining part is used to display the screen-off picture. The screen-on can refer to that the light emitting devices of the screen are triggered to emit light, and the color and brightness of the emitted light are executed according to the program setting, and the screen can display the content such as the lock screen interface, the desktop, the interface of the application, and the like.

[0082] S802, in the process of unfolding from the folded state to the unfolded state, the first screen is black and the second screen is on, and the first animation is displayed on the second screen.

[0083] When the folding angle is the preset angle, the electronic device can control the first screen to be black and control the second screen to be on. After the second screen is on, the second screen is used to display content, that is, the electronic device can display content on the second screen.

[0084] In the process of unfolding from the folded state to the unfolded state, the related content of displaying the first animation on the second screen can refer to the description in S501.

[0085] It can be understood that when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the electronic device can display the last animation frame of the first animation on the second screen.

[0086] S803, control the second screen to be black or off.

[0087] In some embodiments, when the user does not set the screen-off display of the second screen, if the user does not use the electronic device for a period of time or the user operates the power key of the electronic device, the second screen can be black. When the user sets the screen-off display of the second screen, if the user does not use the electronic device for a period of time or the user operates the power key of the electronic device, the second screen can be off.

[0088] S804, control the second screen to be on, and display the second image on the second screen.

[0089] The user can trigger the second screen to be on. For example, when the second screen is black or off, the user picks up the mobile phone, or the user operates the power key of the electronic device, which can trigger the second screen to be on. When the second screen is on, the electronic device can display the second image on the second screen. The second image is related to the animation.

[0090] In some embodiments, the second image can be the last animation frame of the first animation. In this embodiment, in the unfolding process, the first animation can be displayed on the second screen, and when the electronic device is unfolded to the unfolded state, the last animation frame of the first animation can be displayed on the second screen. After the second screen is on or off, the last animation frame of the first animation can still be displayed on the second screen when the second screen is on again.

[0091] In some embodiments, the second image can be the first animation frame of the second animation. In this example, because the user can fold the electronic device at any time when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the electronic device can display the first animation frame of the second animation on the second screen, so that the electronic device can quickly display the animation frame after the first animation frame on the second screen when the user triggers the folding of the electronic device.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second image can be a preset image corresponding to the animation, and the preset image can refer to the related description of the preset image in S802.

[0093] S805, during folding from the unfolded state to the folded state, displaying the second animation on the second screen.

[0094] S805 can refer to the description in S502.

[0095] It can be understood that in some embodiments, when the folding angle of the electronic device is the preset angle, the electronic device displays the last animation frame of the second animation on the second screen.

[0096] In some embodiments, during folding from the unfolded state to the folded state, when the folding angle is less than the preset angle, the electronic device can control the second screen to be black and control the first screen to be bright.

[0097] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is folded from the preset angle to the folded state, the electronic device can display a third image on the first screen, and the third image is the last animation frame of the second animation.

[0098] When the second screen is black, the first screen is used to display content. In the process of folding from the preset angle to the folded state, the electronic device can display a third image on the first screen.

[0099] The third image is the last animation frame of the second animation. In other words, when the electronic device is folded to the preset angle, the second screen can display the last animation frame of the second animation, and when the electronic device continues to fold, the electronic device can switch to display the last animation frame of the second animation on the first screen during folding from the preset angle to the folded state.

[0100] It can be understood that when the electronic device is in the folded state, the electronic device displays the third image on the first screen.

[0101] It can be understood that after the electronic device executes S805, the electronic device can return to continue to execute S801. In other words, in the process that the user continuously unfolds and folds the electronic device, the electronic device can iteratively execute S801-S805.

[0102] The display process of the first screen and the second screen during the unfolding and folding process of the electronic device is described in the embodiment of FIG. 8. In some embodiments, the embodiment of FIG. 8 can be applicable to a lock screen scenario. The display process of the first screen and the second screen is described below in the example of the animation of "a parent sending a child to school" in the lock screen scenario.

[0103] For example, referring to a of FIG. 9, the electronic device is in a folded state, and the first screen is black. The user can trigger the first screen to light up. In response to the user's operation, the electronic device can control the first screen to light up and display a first image on the first screen. For example, the first image is a preset image corresponding to the animation, and the first image may, for example, be "an image of the parent looking at the child with deep affection", as shown in b of FIG. 9. It should be understood that b of FIG. 9 takes the example of the user operating the power key of the electronic device to trigger the first screen to light up.

[0104] During the unfolding process of the electronic device, referring to c of FIG. 9, when the folding angle is less than a preset angle, the electronic device can continue to display the first image on the first screen and control the second screen to be black. When the folding angle is equal to the preset angle, the electronic device can control the first screen to be black, control the second screen to light up, and display a first animation on the second screen, as shown in d-f of FIG. 9. It should be understood that d-f of FIG. 9 takes the example of three animation frames in the first animation. For example, d of FIG. 9 shows a picture of the parent and the child walking together to the school gate (the school is not shown due to the folding angle of the electronic device) and being far away from the school gate. E of FIG. 9 shows a picture of the parent and the child walking together to the school gate and being close to the school gate. F of FIG. 9 shows a picture of the parent and the child walking to the school gate, and the child saying goodbye to the parent.

[0105] Referring to f of FIG. 9, the electronic device is in an unfolded state, and the electronic device displays "a picture of the parent and the child walking to the school gate, and the child saying goodbye to the parent" on the second screen. If the user does not use the electronic device for a period of time, or the user operates the power key of the electronic device, the electronic device can control the second screen to be black, as shown in g of FIG. 9. Referring to h of FIG. 9, the user operates the power key of the electronic device, and the electronic device can control the second screen to light up and display a second image on the second screen. For example, the second image is a preset image corresponding to the animation, and the second image may, for example, be "an image of the parent looking at the child with deep affection", as shown in h of FIG. 9.

[0106] In the folding process of the electronic device, when the folding angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle, the electronic device can display a second animation on the second screen. It should be understood that the three animation frames in the second animation are taken as examples in i-j in FIG. 9. For example, i in FIG. 9 shows a picture that the child is farther and farther away from the parent. j in FIG. 9 shows a picture that the parent says goodbye to the child. Referring to k in FIG. 9, when the folding angle is less than the preset angle, the electronic device can control the second screen to be black, control the first screen to be bright, and display a third image on the first screen. The third image is the last animation frame of the second animation, for example, the third image shows the picture that the parent says goodbye to the child.

[0107] When the electronic device is in the folded state, the electronic device can display a third image, as shown by l in FIG. 9. If the user does not use the electronic device for a period of time, or the user operates the power key of the electronic device, the electronic device controls the first screen to be black, as shown by a in FIG. 9. The user operates the power key of the electronic device, the electronic device controls the first screen to be bright, and the first image can be displayed on the first screen, as shown by b in FIG. 9.

[0108] It can be understood that the lock screen scenario in FIG. 9 is taken as an example, that is, the first screen displays the first image, the second screen displays the first animation, the second screen displays the second image, the second screen displays the second animation, and the first screen displays the third animation are all performed when the electronic device is in the lock screen state. In some embodiments, the first image, the first animation, the second image, the second animation, and the third animation can also be regarded as a lock screen animation. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the electronic device displays the time and date on the first screen and the second screen, which represents that the electronic device is in the lock screen state.

[0109] In some embodiments, the display method provided by the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to the scenario of “locking and unlocking”. For example, if the user sets the face unlocking, in the unfolding process of the electronic device, the electronic device can recognize the face of the user and unlock the electronic device. In this way, the electronic device can display the desktop. In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can continue to display the unfinished animation on the desktop.

[0110] For example, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the electronic device displays a first image on the first screen, and the first image is a lock screen interface. In the unfolding process of the electronic device, the electronic device displays a first animation on the second screen, and if part of the first animation is displayed, the electronic device recognizes the face of the user and unlocks the electronic device. In this way, the electronic device can continue to display the desktop on the second screen, and display the remaining part of the first animation on the desktop. In other words, the electronic device can display the remaining part of the first animation as a dynamic wallpaper on the desktop.

[0111] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can display a first animation on the second screen during unfolding, and display a second animation on the second screen during folding, the first animation and the second animation being two parts of one animation. In this way, the first animation and the second animation have relevance and continuity in content, enabling the user to watch an effect similar to a continuous short drama during unfolding and folding of the electronic device, and improving the user experience.

[0112] In some embodiments, the animation can be preset in the electronic device. In this example, in response to folding and unfolding of the electronic device, the electronic device can display different pictures on the first screen and the second screen based on the preset animation.

[0113] In some embodiments, in order to improve the richness of the animation and bring an immersive experience to the user, the electronic device can also display different animations based on the scene in which the electronic device is located. In other words, the animation (including the first animation and the second animation) displayed by the electronic device on the second screen is related to the scene in which the electronic device is located.

[0114] In some embodiments, the scene in which the electronic device is located can include at least one of the following: time, place, weather, and user behavior. The following embodiments separately introduce the four scenes:

[0115] In some embodiments, the time can be divided into morning, noon, and evening, for example. Alternatively, the time can be a solar term in a year. Alternatively, the time can be a festival in a year. Alternatively, the time can also be a day set by the user that is meaningful to the user, and the like, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0116] For example, in the morning (e.g., from 7:00 am to 10:00 am), the animation can be an animation of "parents sending children to school". When the user unfolds and folds the electronic device in the morning, the electronic device can display the "animation of parents sending children to school" on the second screen. It should be understood that the first animation and the second animation are two parts of the "animation of parents sending children to school". For example, in the afternoon (e.g., from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm), the animation can be an animation of "outdoor travel for relaxation". When the user unfolds and folds the electronic device in the afternoon, the electronic device can display the "animation of outdoor travel for relaxation" on the second screen. It should be understood that the first animation and the second animation are two parts of the "animation of outdoor travel for relaxation", so as to achieve the purpose of relaxing the user in the busy work. For example, in the evening (e.g., from 5:00 pm to 24:00 pm), the animation can be an animation of "family reunion". When the user unfolds and folds the electronic device in the evening, the electronic device can display the "animation of family reunion" on the second screen. It should be understood that the first animation and the second animation are two parts of the "animation of family reunion", so as to achieve the purpose of the user feeling happy after the end of work.

[0117] In some embodiments, the location can be a landmark building in a city. Alternatively, the location can be divided into "home, company", etc. Alternatively, the location can be divided into "shopping mall, school, hospital, community, factory" and other types of places, etc., which are not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0118] For example, when the user is at home, and the user unfolds and folds the electronic device, the electronic device can display the "animation of family reunion" on the second screen. For example, when the user is at the company, and the user unfolds and folds the electronic device, the electronic device can display the "animation of active struggle" on the second screen.

[0119] In some embodiments, the weather can be divided into "sunny, rainy, snowy", etc. Alternatively, the weather can also be divided based on different temperatures, which are not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0120] For example, when the user unfolds and folds the electronic device in the sunny day, the electronic device can display the "animation of spring and flowers" on the second screen. For example, when the user unfolds and folds the electronic device in the rainy day, the electronic device can display the "animation of continuous light rain" on the second screen. For example, when the user unfolds and folds the electronic device in the snowy day, the electronic device can display the "animation of heavy snow" on the second screen.

[0121] In some embodiments, the user behavior can be understood as a schedule of the user, or the electronic device can determine the schedule of the user according to ticket information, express information, etc. of the user. In this example, the user behavior can be understood as the schedule of the user.

[0122] In some embodiments, the user behavior can also be understood as a behavior of the user recently watching a movie or TV series, or a behavior of the user listening to a song, etc. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.

[0123] For example, the user behavior is the schedule of the user. For example, the schedule of the user is to take a flight to city A in the afternoon, and before yesterday and today, when the user unfolds and folds the electronic device, the electronic device can display an animation of the flight schedule on the second screen. For example, the animation of the flight schedule can show ticket information, a picture of the plane flying, and beautiful scenery and food in city A.

[0124] For example, the user behavior is a behavior of the user recently watching a movie or TV series. When the user unfolds and folds the electronic device, the electronic device can display a picture of the movie or TV series recently watched by the user on the second screen. The picture of the movie or TV series may, for example, include a poster of the movie or TV series, images of the main actors of the movie or TV series, and classic pictures in the movie or TV series, etc. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.

[0125] It can be understood that before the electronic device displays different animations on the second screen in different scenarios, the electronic device can first obtain the animations. In some embodiments, for animations in scenarios of time, place, weather, etc., the corresponding animations can be pre-stored in the electronic device. Or, the electronic device can request the server to download the corresponding animations based on the scenario. Or, the electronic device can generate animations according to pictures, videos, etc. stored locally.

[0126] In some embodiments, for animations in scenarios of user behavior, the electronic device can generate corresponding animations based on the schedule stored on the electronic device, or multimedia data loaded when watching a movie or TV series, or multimedia data loaded when listening to a song, etc.

[0127] It should be understood that the scenarios in which the electronic device is located as described above are exemplary, and in some embodiments, other ways can also be used to define different scenarios in which the electronic device is located.

[0128] In the embodiments of the present application, the scenarios in which the electronic device is located are different, and when the user unfolds and folds the electronic device, the electronic device can display different animations on the second screen, which is more suitable for the scenario in which the user is located, and brings an immersive experience to the user.

[0129] In some embodiments, in addition to being applied to the lock screen scenario and the combination of locking and unlocking, the display method provided by the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to the scenario of displaying an application interface on the second screen, that is, the scenario of the user using the application.

[0130] In the process of the electronic device unfolding from the preset angle to the unfolded state, the electronic device can display a first animation on the second screen. When the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the electronic device displays a second image on the second screen, which can be a lock screen interface or a wallpaper of a desktop. If the electronic device displays the lock screen interface when it is in the unfolded state, the user can unlock the electronic device to enable the second screen to display the desktop, and the desktop can display the desktop wallpaper or the second image.

[0131] In the case where the electronic device displays the desktop, the user can operate the icon of the application displayed on the desktop to trigger the electronic device to display the application interface. In this way, the user can use the function of the application. In this scenario, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the electronic device displays the application interface on the second screen.

[0132] In the case where the second screen displays the application interface, if the user folds the electronic device, in the process of the electronic device folding from the unfolded state to the preset angle, the electronic device can display a second animation on the second screen. Similarly, if the user unfolds the electronic device, in the process of the electronic device unfolding from the preset angle to the unfolded state, the electronic device can display a third animation on the second screen. In this example, the second animation and the third animation are two parts of one animation, and the first animation does not belong to this animation, that is, the first animation belongs to another animation.

[0133] In this example, the animation including the second animation and the third animation can be referred to as an interface animation, which is related to the content in the application interface. In the embodiments of the present application, in the case where the second screen displays the application interface, if the user folds the electronic device, the electronic device can extract key information in the application interface, and the electronic device can generate an animation based on the key information, so that the electronic device displays the animation in the folding and unfolding process.

[0134] In some embodiments, the electronic device can divide the "animation generated based on the key information" into two parts, and the animations of the two parts can be regarded as the second animation and the third animation, respectively. In this way, in the process of the electronic device folding from the unfolded state to the preset angle, the electronic device displays the second animation on the second screen. In the process of the electronic device unfolding from the preset angle to the unfolded state, the electronic device can display the third animation on the second screen.

[0135] In some embodiments, the key information in the application interface may, for example, be a picture, or a keyword, etc. The electronic device may, based on a technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), generate an animation in combination with the key information in the application interface.

[0136] For example, the application is a gallery application, and the interface of the gallery application displays a picture of a vehicle. The electronic device may, based on the picture, generate an animation of the vehicle driving on a road. For example, the application is a news application, and the interface of the news application displays a text news. The electronic device may, based on the text news, extract a keyword, and generate an animation corresponding to the keyword.

[0137] For example, the electronic device displays the picture of the vehicle in the interface of the application. Referring to a of FIG. 10, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the electronic device displays the interface of the gallery application on the second screen, and the interface displays the picture of the vehicle. In this scenario, if the user folds the electronic device, the electronic device may display part of the animation of the vehicle driving on the road on the second screen. As shown in b-c of FIG. 10, the second screen displays the animation of the vehicle driving on the road, and trees and other scenery appear. If the user unfolds the electronic device, the electronic device may display the remaining part of the animation of the vehicle driving on the road on the second screen. As shown in d-f of FIG. 10, the second screen displays the animation of the vehicle driving on the road, and city scenery and other vehicles appear.

[0138] In summary, the display method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied not only to the lock screen scenario and the lock screen and unlocking combined scenario, but also to the scenario in which the user uses the application. In the scenario in which the user uses the application, when the user folds the electronic device, the electronic device may generate a corresponding animation according to the content on the interface of the application, and display part of the animation during the folding process and the unfolding process of the electronic device, respectively. The embodiments of the present application provide more scenarios to which the display method is applicable, and in the scenario in which the user uses the application, the electronic device may generate a corresponding animation based on the content on the interface of the application during the folding process and the unfolding process of the electronic device, which can bring the user a sense of continuity, and improve the user experience.

[0139] It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) involved in the present application are all information and data authorized by the user or authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of related data need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of countries and regions, and provide corresponding operation portal for user to select authorization or refusal.
