Foldable Screen Display Automation via Folding Angle Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with foldable screens require users to manually select applications after unfolding the screen, leading to a complex and non-intelligent display method.
Innovation Solution
A display method and apparatus that detect the folding angle of a foldable screen and determine a target application based on content displayed in one area, automatically displaying it in another area upon unfolding, eliminating the need for manual selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the electronic device mechanically displays content on full screen or waits for user selection after unfolding, then the display function is achieved, but the operation process becomes complex and lacks intelligence
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by detecting the folding state change in advance and pre-determining the target application based on the displayed content before the user needs to use it, so that when the screen is unfolded, the application is already ready to be displayed without requiring user selection
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device serves itself by automatically determining and displaying the target application based on the content it is already displaying, eliminating the need for user intervention in the application selection process
2Ease of operation
If the user manually selects applications after unfolding the screen, then the intended application can be opened, but the user experience is degraded due to additional操作步骤
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines the target application in advance based on the content being displayed and the detected folding state, so that when the screen is unfolded, the application is already prepared and can be displayed immediately without requiring the user to spend time on manual selection
Solution Approach 2:
The system skips the manual application selection step by directly determining and displaying the target application based on the detected folding state and displayed content, allowing the user to quickly access the intended application without unnecessary intermediate operations

AI summary
At least two display areas are formed after an action such as folding a foldable screen of a device. The device displays a first display interface comprising a display interface of a first application. The device detects a first operation such as unfolding the screen and in response, displays a second display interface comprising a first display area and a second display area. The device displays the display interface of the first application in the first display area of the second display interface, and displays at least one application icon in the second display area of the second display interface. The device detects a second operation acting on an application icon corresponding to the first target application and in response, displays a third display interface that comprises the first display area and the second display area.
