Mobile Display Area Switching for Single-Screen Dual Interfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies require an external display screen as a carrier for dual-screen operation, increasing operational complexity and difficulty.
Innovation Solution
A display control method for mobile terminals that allows two distinct display interfaces to operate independently on a single screen, utilizing a foldable or flexible display and different operating systems, with a processor determining the target display area and reporting trigger events to respective desktop launchers to manage the display of applications and interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an external display screen is used for dual-screen operations, then the display versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal's display system is designed to support multiple display modes (fullscreen, freeform, picture-in-picture) and multiple display interfaces (first display interface and second display interface) within a single device, eliminating the need for external display screens while maintaining dual-screen operation capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent integrates multiple display interfaces and desktop launchers into a single mobile terminal device, combining the functions of what would traditionally require separate external displays into one unified system that can manage multiple display contexts simultaneously
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display interfaces are managed separately, then the display adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The desktop launcher acts as an intermediary component that receives trigger events from either display interface, determines the target display area, and manages the switching between different display modes and interfaces, simplifying user operations while maintaining display adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements event-triggered feedback mechanisms where trigger events from user interactions with either display interface automatically initiate the appropriate interface switching and display mode changes, reducing the need for manual configuration and improving ease of operation
3Area of stationary object
If the second display interface is located over the first display interface, then the space utilization is improved, but the measurement precision of trigger events deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into distinct first and second display interfaces with separate desktop launchers, allowing the system to identify and process trigger events based on their specific origin, thereby maintaining measurement precision even when interfaces are overlaid
Solution Approach 2:
Each display interface has its own desktop launcher and event handling mechanism, allowing the system to determine the target display area with precision by identifying which specific interface (first or second) generated the trigger event, even when they are spatially overlaid

AI summary
A display control method and system, a mobile terminal, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: acquiring (11) a trigger event, the trigger event including at least one of: an event generated by triggering a first display interface (21) or an event generated by triggering a second display interface (22); acquiring (12) a target display area corresponding to the trigger event; reporting (13) the trigger event to a desktop launcher corresponding to the target display area, so that the desktop launcher starts an interface corresponding to the trigger event in the target display area.
