Detailed ways

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the user interface of one application program is displayed in full screen on the terminal, if the user interface of other application programs also needs to be displayed, the terminal automatically performs a screen split operation, and displays them in the two display areas respectively. The user interface of different applications saves the user the operations required to manually switch the display interface.

In the method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the execution subject of each step may be a terminal. The above-mentioned terminal may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an e-book reader, a multimedia playback device, a wearable device, and a laptop computer. The terminal has a folding display.

Folding displays are foldable, bendable, flexible displays. The folding display is used to receive user touch operations on or near it with any suitable object, such as a finger, a stylus pen, etc., as well as to display the user interface of various applications. The folding display is usually placed on the front panel of the terminal. Folding displays can be designed as outward-folding displays or inward-folding displays. The folding display screen can also be designed as a combination of an outer folding display screen and an inner folding display screen, which is not limited in this embodiment. See below for an introduction to fold-out and fold-in displays.

Referring to FIG. 1A , it shows a flowchart of an interface display method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the method is applied to a terminal with a foldable display screen as an example. The foldable display screen includes a foldable first screen area and a second screen area. The interface display method includes the following steps:

Step 101, displaying the user interface of the first application in the folding display screen.

The first application is an application currently running in the foreground by the terminal. The first application may be a navigation application, a game application, a video application, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. A part of the content of the user interface of the first application is displayed in the first screen area, and another part of the content of the user interface of the first application is displayed in the second screen area.

When the terminal runs the first application program in the foreground, the terminal displays the user interface of the first application program in full screen on the folding display screen. Referring to FIG. 1B, the terminal displays a user interface of "XX Navigation" in the folding display screen 10, and a part of the user interface of "XX Navigation" is displayed in the first screen area, and another part of the user interface of "XX Navigation" is displayed in the first screen area. A portion of the content is displayed in the second screen area.

Step 102: Acquire an event for triggering display of the user interface of the second application.

The event for triggering the display of the user interface of the second application may be triggered by the terminal autonomously, or may be triggered by the user, and the above two cases will be explained separately below.

In a possible implementation manner, the event for triggering the display of the user interface of the second application is triggered by the terminal autonomously, for example, the terminal acquires an incoming call from another terminal, the terminal receives a video invitation sent by another user through a social application, Voice invitation, etc. At this time, the terminal acquires an event for triggering the display of the user interface of the second application.

In another possible implementation, the event for triggering the display of the user interface of the second application is triggered by the user. For example, the terminal acquires an outgoing instruction triggered by the user to call out the side menu. At this time, the terminal displays the side menu in the upper layer of the folded display screen. The side menu displays a list of applications, and the list of applications includes at least An application running in the background, when the user clicks any application in the side menu, or when the user drags any application from the side menu to the folding display, the terminal obtains the Triggers an event to display the user interface of the second application.

Step 103: Display the user interface of the first application in the first display area of the folding display screen, and display the user interface of the second application in the second display area of the folding display.

When the terminal acquires an event for triggering the display of the user interface of the second application, the terminal needs to simultaneously display the user interfaces of the first application and the second application in the folding display screen. At this time, the terminal is on the folding display screen. The user interface of the first application is displayed in a part of the display area of the folding display screen, and the user interface of the second application is displayed in another part of the display area of the folding display screen. The above-mentioned part of the display area is the first display area, and the other part of the display area is the second display area.

In some embodiments of the present application, the first display area is the first screen area, and the second display area is the second folding area. Referring to FIG. 1B , the terminal displays the user interface of “XX Navigation” in the first display area 11 of the folding display screen 10 , and displays the user interface of the calling application in the second display area 12 of the folding display screen 10 .

In some embodiments of the present application, step 103 may include the following sub-steps:

Step 103a, according to the size of the first display area, determine the first interface size to which the user interface of the first application is adapted in the first display area;

Since the size of the foldable display screen is different from the size of the first display area, the user interface of the first application displayed on the foldable display screen does not fit the first display area. Therefore, it is necessary to re-determine the fit with the first display area. The dimensions of the user interface of the first application.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal directly determines the size of the first display area as the size of the first interface. For example, if the size of the first display area is 320*480, the size of the first interface is also 320*480.

In another possible implementation manner, the terminal determines a size smaller than the size of the first display area and the difference between the size of the first display area and the size of the first display area is smaller than a first preset threshold as the first interface size. The first preset threshold may be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. For example, if the first preset threshold is 5, the first interface size is (315-320)*(475-480).

Step 103b, according to the size of the second display area, determine the second interface size to which the user interface of the second application is adapted in the second display area;

The manner of determining the size of the second interface according to the size of the second display area is the same as that of determining the size of the first interface. The terminal may directly determine the size of the second display area as the size of the second interface, or may determine the size that is smaller than the size of the second display area and the difference between the size of the second display area and the size of the second display area is smaller than the second preset threshold is the second interface size. The second preset threshold may be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Step 103c: Display the user interface of the first application with the size of the first interface in the first display area, and display the user interface of the second application with the size of the second interface in the second display area.

Optionally, user interfaces of different sizes of each application program are stored in the terminal, and the terminal can directly acquire and display the user interface of the first application program whose size is the first interface size from the stored user interface, and the user interface whose size is the second size. The user interface of the second application in the interface size.

In addition, for the user interface of the first application program whose size is the first interface size, the user interface of the first application program displayed on the folding display screen can be obtained by the terminal by reducing the size.

The above-mentioned process of switching the folding display screen from a user interface displaying one application program to a user interface displaying two application programs at the same time may be referred to as a split screen. Referring to FIG. 1B , it shows a schematic interface diagram of a split screen shown in an embodiment of the present application. The terminal first displays the user interface of "XX Navigation" in full screen on the folding display screen 10, and then the terminal obtains the incoming call from other terminals. At this time, the terminal displays the user interface of "XX Navigation" in the first display area 11, and in the second display area. 12 Displays the user interface of the calling application.

In some embodiments of the present application, before step 103, the method further includes: detecting whether the folding angle of the folding display screen meets the preset condition; if the folding angle does not meet the preset condition, generating prompt information, and the prompt information is used to prompt the change Fold angle.

The folding angle of the folding display screen is the angle formed by the first screen area and the second screen area, and the folding angle of the folding display screen can affect the area of the display area seen by the user. For an inwardly folded display, the larger the folding angle, the larger the area of the display area seen by the user; the smaller the folding angle, the smaller the area of the display area that the user sees; for an outwardly folded display, the larger the folding angle , the smaller the area of the display area seen by the user, the smaller the folding angle, and the larger the area of the display area seen by the user. In addition, when the folding display is in a fully folded state (the folding angle of the inner folding display is 0 degrees, and the folding angle of the outer folding display is 360 degrees), the area of the display area viewed by the user is the smallest, and the folding display is fully unfolded. In the state (the folding angles of the inward-folding display screen and the outward-folding display screen are both 180 degrees), the area of the display area viewed by the user is the largest.

In order to make the area of the display area seen by the user as large as possible, before splitting the screen, the terminal can detect whether the folding angle of the folding display screen meets the preset condition. The preset condition may be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. For example, the preset condition is that the difference between the folding angle of the folding display and 180 degrees is less than 20 degrees. In the case that the folding angle does not meet the preset conditions, the terminal generates prompt information, and the prompt information is used to prompt to change the folding angle, and the changed folding angle should meet the preset conditions; if the folding angle meets the preset conditions, the terminal directly Perform subsequent split-screen operations. The prompt information may be text information, voice information, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Further, the terminal can also detect whether the folding display screen is in a fully unfolded state (that is, the folding angle is 180 degrees), and when the folding display screen is not in a fully unfolded state, generate a prompt message for prompting to switch to a fully unfolded state, When the foldable display screen is in a fully unfolded state, the terminal directly performs subsequent split-screen operations.

To sum up, in the method provided by the embodiments of the present application, in the case where the terminal displays the user interface of one application program in full screen, if the user interface of other application programs also needs to be displayed, the terminal automatically performs a screen split operation, and the The two display areas respectively display the user interfaces of different application programs, which solves the problem of complicated operation when the terminal switches the currently displayed user interface to other user interfaces in the related art, and saves the operation required for the user to manually switch the display interface.

Step 201: When the display requirement of the user interface of the third application is acquired, if the switching instruction corresponding to the first application is acquired, then the user interface of the first application displayed in the first display area is switched to the first application. Three application user interface.

The display requirement of the user interface of the third application is usually triggered by the user. Optionally, the terminal acquires the call-out instruction triggered by the user for calling out the side menu. At this time, the terminal displays the side menu in the upper layer of the folded display screen. The side menu displays the application list, and the application list is displayed in the side menu. Including at least one application running in the background, when the user clicks any application in the side menu, or when the user drags any application from the side menu to the folding display, the terminal obtains the Display requirements of the user interface of the third application.

The switching instruction corresponding to the first application is used to cause the terminal to switch the displayed user interface of the first application to the user interface of the third application. The switching instruction corresponding to the first application is also triggered by the user. In one example, the terminal acquires the drag signal corresponding to the third application, and when the position where the drag signal disappears is located in the first display area, the terminal acquires the switching instruction corresponding to the first application. In another example, the terminal displays a prompt pop-up window, and the prompt pop-up window includes an operation control for triggering a switching instruction corresponding to the first application. After the user selects the operation control, the terminal obtains the operation control corresponding to the first application. Toggle indication.

Step 202: If a switching instruction corresponding to the second application is acquired, switch the user interface of the second application displayed in the second display area to the user interface of the third application.

The switching instruction corresponding to the second application is used to cause the terminal to switch the displayed user interface of the second application to the user interface of the third application. The switching instruction corresponding to the third application is also triggered by the user. In an example, the terminal acquires the drag signal corresponding to the third application, and when the position where the drag signal disappears is located in the second display area, the terminal acquires the switching instruction corresponding to the second application. In another example, the terminal displays a prompt pop-up window, and the prompt pop-up window includes an operation control for triggering a switching instruction corresponding to the second application. After the user selects the operation control, the terminal obtains the operation control corresponding to the second application. Toggle indication.

Referring to FIG. 2 , it shows a schematic interface diagram of switching user interfaces according to an embodiment of the present application.

In another optional embodiment based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A , after step 103 , the method may further include the following steps.

Step 301: Acquire an adjustment signal corresponding to an operation control in the folding display screen.

Operation controls are used to adjust the size of the display area. In a possible implementation manner, an operation control is displayed on the overlapping part of the first display area and the second display area, and the user can adjust the size of the display area by dragging the operation control. In another possible implementation, a sliding bar is displayed on the upper layer of the folding display screen, and an adjustable slider is arranged on the sliding bar, and the user can adjust the size of the display area by adjusting the position of the slider on the sliding bar. The display area includes a first display area and/or a second display area.

In other possible embodiments, the user may call out an input box for inputting the size of the display area through a specific operation, and the user inputs a value in the input box, thereby adjusting the size of the display area. The operation controls used to adjust the size of the display area may also have other implementation forms, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Step 302: Adjust the size of the first display area and/or the size of the second display area according to the adjustment signal.

The terminal may increase or decrease the size of the first display area according to the adjustment signal triggered by the user, and may also increase or decrease the size of the second display area. The degree to which the size of each adjustment process changes can be actually determined according to the adjustment signal. For example, for the operation control displayed in the overlapping part of the first display area and the second display area, the terminal can determine the first display area and the second display area according to the position of the operation control when the user-triggered drag signal disappears Changed size. For another example, for a sliding bar displayed in suspension, the terminal may determine the changed sizes of the first display area and the second display area according to the position of the slider on the sliding bar when the drag signal triggered by the user disappears.

It should be noted that after the size of the display area is changed, the size of the user interface displayed in the display area should also be adaptively changed, and the size-changed user interface should be adapted to the size-changed display area.

Referring to FIG. 3 , it shows a schematic diagram of an interface for adjusting the size of a display area according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The terminal displays the user interface of "XX Navigation" in the first display area 11, and displays the user interface of the calling application in the second display area 12. The overlapping portion 31 of the first display area and the second display area displays the size used for adjusting the display area. If the user drags the operation control to the right, the width of the first display area increases and the width of the second display area decreases.

To sum up, the method provided by the embodiments of the present application can realize the function of adjusting the size of the display area of the terminal in the split-screen state.

In another optional embodiment based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A , after step 103 , the method may further include the following steps.

Step 401 , when an event for triggering cancellation of the display of the user interface of the second application program is detected, display the user interface of the first application program in the folding display screen.
