Foldable Screen Display Adaptation for Hands-Free Camera Use
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current foldable screens can only fixedly display an application interface at a specified position, lacking flexibility and hindering user convenience, especially when using camera applications that require holding the device steady with both hands.
Innovation Solution
A display method for a foldable screen that allows the device to detect when the screen changes from an expanded state to a half-folded state, enabling the display of a foreground application interface on one of the screens, thereby facilitating tasks like photography, video calls, and live broadcasting without requiring both hands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the foldable screen is in an expanded state with full screen display, then the display area is maximized, but the portability and ease of operation are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the display to transition between different states (expanded and half-folded) based on operational needs. The system dynamically adjusts the display configuration from a fixed full-screen layout to an adaptive half-screen layout when the foldable screen is partially folded, allowing the interface to change its display area and positioning according to the physical state of the device.
2Device complexity
If the foldable screen can only display at a specified position, then the display structure is simple, but the adaptability and versatility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the display interface adaptable to different physical states of the foldable screen. When the screen transitions to a half-folded state, the system automatically adjusts the display position and layout of the application interface, allowing the same interface to be displayed at different locations (full screen or half screen) based on the screen's configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying display parameters such as display area, position, and layout based on the physical state of the foldable screen. The system changes these parameters dynamically when transitioning between expanded and half-folded states, enabling the interface to adapt to different operational scenarios without increasing structural complexity.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the user holds the device steady with both hands, then the stability is improved, but the ease of operation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by allowing the display interface to adapt to different holding postures. When the foldable screen is in a half-folded state, the system displays the application interface on a half screen, enabling users to operate the device with one hand while maintaining stability. This dynamic adjustment eliminates the need for users to hold the device steady with both hands.

AI summary
This application discloses a display method for a foldable screen, applied to an electronic device including a foldable screen. The foldable screen can be folded to form at least two screens, and the at least two screens may include a first screen and a second screen. The method includes: When the foldable screen is in an expanded state, the electronic device displays a first interface of a first application in full screen on the foldable screen. The first interface includes an image captured by a camera. When detecting that the foldable screen changes from the expanded state to a half-folded state, the electronic device displays a second interface on the first screen. In this way, a user can conveniently perform photographing, video calling, live broadcasting, or the like without holding the electronic device steady with both hands.
