Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It will be appreciated that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the application may be practiced in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and that the terms "first," "second," and the like are generally used herein in a generic sense and do not limit the number of terms, e.g., the first term can be one or more than one. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The method for displaying the unread message provided by the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings by specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

The unread message display method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a scene that the electronic equipment prompts the unread message in the application program to the user.

Assuming that the electronic device receives N messages through the application 1, where N is a positive integer, in the related art, the electronic device may display a number subscript N on an icon of the application 1, where the number subscript N corresponds to a number (i.e., N) for indicating the number of unread messages of the application 1. Thus, when M messages are received, the electronic device may increase the number corresponding to the numeric subscript N according to the number M of the messages, that is, the increased numeric subscript is N + M, or, after the user views M messages in the application 1, the electronic device may decrease the number corresponding to the numeric subscript N according to the number M of unread messages viewed by the user, that is, the decreased numeric subscript is N-M, so as to prompt the user of the number of unread messages of the application. However, since the electronic device displays the numerical corner mark N on the icon of the application 1 to indicate the number of unread messages of the application 1 to the user, the area of the display space corresponding to the icon of the application 1 may increase.

However, in the embodiment of the present application, the icon of the application 1 displayed by the electronic device includes an icon background including the background portion 1 and an icon body, and the area ratio of the background portion 1 in the icon background is associated with the number of unread messages of the application 1. Therefore, when the electronic device receives M messages through the application 1, the electronic device may update the area ratio of the background portion 1 of the icon background in the icon background based on the number of unread messages of the application 1 after receiving the messages, or, in the case where the electronic device receives the first input, the electronic device may update the area ratio of the background portion 1 of the icon background in the icon background based on the number of unread messages of the application 1 after receiving the first input, to prompt the user of the number of unread messages of the application 1 without displaying a numerical corner mark on the icon of the application 1, so that an increase in the area of the display space corresponding to the icon of the application 1 may be avoided.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying an unread message according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, a method for displaying an unread message according to an embodiment of the present application may include

steps

101 and 102 described below.

Step 101, receiving a first message or a first input under the condition that a first application icon is displayed.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the target page is displayed and the first application icon is included in the target page, the display device for unread messages receives the first message or the first input.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, in a case where a click input of the application icon of the "setup" application by the user is detected, the display device of the unread message may display a "setup" interface, where the "setup" interface includes an option of "unread notification droplet alert mode", so that, in a case where a selection input of the option of the "unread notification droplet alert mode" by the user is detected, the display device of the unread message may start the "unread notification droplet alert mode" function. Then, when the display device of the unread message is in the unlocked state, if an input (for example, an input to the Home key) to the display device of the unread message by the user is detected, the display device of the unread message may display a target page, where the target page includes the first application icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target page may be: one page of the desktop of the display device for unread messages. For example: the first page of the desktop.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first application icon includes an icon background and an icon main body, and the icon background includes a first background portion, and an area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background is associated with the number of unread messages of a target application program corresponding to the first application icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the icon background may specifically be: a background color region of the first application icon. The icon main body may specifically be: a trademark (logo), a name, etc. of the target application program indicated by the first application icon.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the display hierarchy corresponding to the icon main body is located above the display hierarchy corresponding to the icon background.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may first establish a preset coordinate axis according to the pixel points of the target page, and obtain the coordinate point of the first application icon based on the preset coordinate axis, so that the display device of the unread message may obtain the background color feature, such as the RGB color value, of the first application icon based on the coordinate point of the first application icon, and separate the first application icon based on the background color feature of the first application icon by using an image separation algorithm, so as to obtain the icon background and the icon main body.

It should be noted that, for the description of the image separation algorithm, reference may be made to specific descriptions in the related art, and details are not repeated herein in the embodiments of the present application.

For example, the preset coordinate axes may specifically be: and the lower left corner of the display screen is taken as the origin of a coordinate axis, the left edge line of the display screen is taken as the Y axis, and the lower edge line of the display screen is taken as the coordinate axis of the X axis. The coordinate point of the first application icon may be a coordinate point corresponding to a midpoint of a lower edge line of the first application icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the display parameters of the first background portion are different from the display parameters of the other background portions. Wherein the other background parts are: a background portion of the icon background other than the first background portion; the display parameters may include at least one of: transparency, color, brightness, etc.

For example, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an application icon in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the first application icon 10 includes an icon background 11 and an icon main body 12, and the icon main body 12 is located above the display level corresponding to the icon background 11. The icon background 11 comprises a first background portion 13 (illustrated as a shaded area in the figure), the display parameters of the first background portion 13 being different from the display parameters (e.g. transparency) of the other background portions 14.

It will be appreciated that the area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon is used to characterise: the number of unread messages of the target application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, P scale marks may be further disposed on an edge line (for example, a right edge line) of the icon background of the first application icon. Wherein, the number of the scale marks P is: the number of unread messages (i.e., unread messages in the application presence indicated by the first application icon) corresponding to each tick mark, determined based on a certain threshold (e.g., a preset threshold in the following embodiments), is: determined based on a certain threshold (e.g., a preset threshold in the embodiments described below).

For example, referring to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 3, P tick marks 16 are further disposed on an edge line (e.g., the right edge line 15) of the first application icon 10, where each tick mark corresponds to the number of unread messages.

It will be appreciated that the user can estimate the number of unread messages for the target application based on the first background section, and the P tick marks.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may receive the first message through the target application.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first input is used to trigger the display device of the unread message to update the area ratio of the first background part in the background of the icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input may be: the user turns over the display device of the unread message and shakes the input.

It should be noted that the above "flip and shake input" can be understood as: the user turns the display of the unread messages by a certain angle, for example 180 °, and then shakes the display of the unread messages by another angle of input.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input may specifically be: and the user turns the display device of the unread message on the first plane by a certain angle and then shakes the display device of the unread message on the first plane by another angle for input.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first plane body may be: the plane of the display screen of the display device of the unread message.

And 102, updating the area ratio of the first background part in the icon background.

In the embodiment of the present application, the area ratio of the first background part in the background of the icon is associated with the number of unread messages of the target application program, which corresponds to the first application icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, in a case that the display device of the unread message receives the first message, the display device of the unread message may increase an area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon to update the area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon, and increase the number of the unread messages of the target application.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the display device of the unread message receives the first message through the target application, if the display device of the unread message does not process the first message, the display device of the unread message may increase an area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background to update the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background, and prompt the user of the unread message in a preset prompting manner.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the preset prompting manner may specifically be: a text prompt mode, a control prompt mode, an animation prompt mode and the like.

The above "text presentation method" can be understood as follows: the unread message display device may display prompt text to prompt the user. The above-mentioned "control prompting mode" can be understood as: the display of the unread message may display a prompt control to prompt the user. The animation prompting mode can be understood as follows: the display of the unread message may display a prompt animation in a manner to prompt the user.

Optionally, in this embodiment, in a case that the display device of the unread message receives the first input, the display device of the unread message may turn down the area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon to update the area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon, and mark a certain number of unread messages in the target application as read messages.

Further optionally, in this embodiment, in a case that the display device of the unread message receives the first input, the display device of the unread message may determine a certain number corresponding to the input parameter according to the input parameter of the first input, and based on the certain number, turn down an area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon, and mark a certain number of the unread messages in the target application as the read messages.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the input parameter may include at least one of the following: input duration, input trajectory, input direction, etc.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread messages may sort the unread messages in the target application program from near to far according to the time of receiving the messages, and mark some number of unread messages before and in the sorted unread messages as read messages.

In this embodiment of the application, in the case of displaying the first application icon, if the display device of the unread message receives the first message through the target application indicated by the first application icon, the display device of the unread message may increase an area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon to prompt the user of the number of unread messages of the target application. Or, in the case of displaying the first application icon, if the display device of the unread message receives the first input of the user, the display device of the unread message may turn down the area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon to cancel the number of unread messages prompting the target application program.

In the method for displaying an unread message according to the embodiment of the present application, when the display device of the unread message displays the first application icon, the display device of the unread message may update an area ratio of a first background portion of the icon background in the first application icon according to the received first message or the first input, where the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background is associated with the number of unread messages of the target application program corresponding to the first application icon. Associating a number of unread messages of the target application corresponding to the first application icon due to an area ratio of the first background portion of the first application icon in the icon background; in this way, in the case where the display device of the unread message receives the message through the target application, the display device of the unread message can update the area ratio of the first background part of the background of the icon in the background of the icon based on the number of unread messages of the target application after the message is received, or, in the case where the display device of the unread message receives the first input, the display device of the unread message may update an area ratio of the first background portion of the background of the icon in the background of the icon based on the number of unread messages of the target application after receiving the first input, to prompt the user for the number of unread messages for the target application, without displaying a numeric corner mark on the first application icon, therefore, the area of the display space corresponding to the first application icon can be prevented from being increased, and therefore, the display space of the display screen of the display device for unread messages is saved.

As will be illustrated below, the display means of the unread message displays the first background portion of the first application icon when the message is received by the target application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, before the step 101, the method for displaying the unread message provided in this embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 201 and step 202.

Step 201, in the case of displaying the first application icon, in the case of receiving K unread messages through the target application program, reducing the transparency value of the icon background of the first application icon.

In the embodiment of the application, K is a positive integer.

In the embodiment of the application, before the display device of the unread messages receives the K unread messages through the target application program, the unread messages do not exist in the first application.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, in a case that a selection input of the option of the "unread notification drop alert mode" by the user is detected, the display device of the unread message may turn on the "unread notification drop alert mode" function, and in a case that K unread messages are received through the target application, turn down the transparency value of the icon background of the first application icon.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, in the case that K unread messages are received, the display device of the unread messages may identify, through the system background, application names corresponding to the K unread messages to determine an application program (i.e., a target application program) indicated by the application names, so that the display device of the unread messages may determine, according to the coordinate point of the first application icon, a position of the first application icon to reduce the transparency value of the icon background of the first application icon.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may adjust the current transparency value of the icon background of the first application icon to the target transparency value, so as to reduce the transparency value of the icon background of the first application icon.

It will be appreciated that the target transparency value is less than the current transparency value of the icon background of the first application icon.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target transparency value may be a transparency value preset by a user in a display device of the unread message.

For example, after the display device of the unread message starts the "unread notification water drop alert mode" function, the display device of the unread message may display a transparency setting control, which includes an adjustment control and at least one adjustment node, where each adjustment node corresponds to one transparency value, so that a user may drag and input the adjustment control and one adjustment node, so that the display device of the unread message may determine one transparency value corresponding to the one adjustment node as the target transparency value.

For example, a display device of the unread message is taken as a mobile phone for description. As shown in fig. 4 (a), after the mobile phone turns on the "unread notification drip alert mode" function, the mobile phone may display a transparency setting control, which includes an adjustment control 17 and at least one adjustment node (e.g., an adjustment node 18, an adjustment node 19, and an adjustment node 20), where the adjustment node 18 corresponds to one transparency value (e.g., 10%), the adjustment node 19 corresponds to another transparency value (e.g., 30%), and the adjustment node 20 corresponds to another transparency value (e.g., 100%), so that the user may drag and input the adjustment control 17 and the one adjustment node (e.g., the adjustment node 19); as shown in fig. 4 (B), after the user makes a drag input, the handset may determine another transparency value (i.e., 30%) corresponding to the adjustment node 19 as a target transparency value.

Further alternatively, in this embodiment of the application, after the transparency value of the icon background of the first application icon is reduced, the display device of the unread message may perform a process of drawing a border line of the icon background of the first application icon (for example, a process of drawing a 2-pixel value), and adjust a color of the border line of the icon background of the first application icon, where the color of the border line of the icon background of the adjusted first application icon is different from the color of the icon background of the first application icon before the adjustment.

Step 202, according to the unread messages number K and the target ratio, determining the size of the first background part of the first application icon to determine the area ratio of the first background part in the icon background, and increasing the transparency value of the first background part.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target ratio is: the ratio of the size of the icon background of the first application icon to a preset threshold value; the preset threshold is: a number of unread messages for the target application when the size of the first background portion is equal to the size of the icon background of the first application icon.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread messages may determine the target ratio according to the size of the icon background of the first application icon and a preset threshold, then determine the size of the first background portion of the first application icon according to the number K of the unread messages and the target ratio, and increase the transparency value of the first background portion.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the size of the icon background of the first application icon may specifically be: the distance between two non-adjacent edge lines of the icon background, or the area of the display area corresponding to the icon background.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the preset threshold may be a numerical value preset in the display device of the unread message by the user.

For example, after the display device of the unread message starts the "unread notification drip alert mode" function, the display device of the unread message may display a threshold setting control, so that a user may input the threshold setting control, so that the display device of the unread message may determine the preset threshold according to the input of the user.

It should be noted that, for the description of determining the preset threshold value by the display device of the unread message, reference may be made to the specific description of determining the target transparency value by the display device of the unread message in the foregoing embodiment, and details of the embodiment of the present application are not described herein again.

Illustratively, the size of the icon background of the first application icon is: the distance between two non-adjacent edge lines of the background of the icon is illustrated as an example.

Assume that the distance between two non-adjacent edge lines of the icon background of the first application icon is: 150 dots per inch (dpi), and a preset threshold of 40 (i.e., when the size of the first background portion of the first application icon is equal to the size of the icon background of the first application icon, the number of unread messages of the target application program is 40), the target ratio is 150:40 — 3.75.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after determining the target ratio, the display device of the unread messages may determine a distance between two non-adjacent edge lines of the first background portion according to a product of the number K of the unread messages and the target ratio, so as to determine a size of the first background portion of the first application icon, so as to determine an area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background.

It is understood that the size of the icon background in the first application icon is: in the case of the distance between two non-adjacent edge lines of the icon background, the size of the first background portion of the first application icon is: the distance between two non-adjacent edge lines of the first background portion.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after determining the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background, the display device of the unread message may restore the transparency value of the first background portion of the first application icon to the transparency value of the icon background before being reduced, so as to increase the transparency value of the first background portion of the first application icon.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after the transparency value of the first background portion of the first application icon is increased, if the user triggers the display device of the unread messages to display the interface of the target application program and views some of the K unread messages in the interface, the display device of the unread messages may perform the above step 201 and step 202 again based on the number of the unread messages in the target application program (i.e., the number of the unread messages in the K unread messages except for the some unread messages), so as to increase the size of the first background portion of the first application icon again and increase the transparency value of the first background portion of the first application icon.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after the transparency value of the first background portion of the first application icon is increased, the display device of the unread message may determine, according to a preset threshold value, the number P of scale lines by using a preset algorithm, and display P scale lines on one edge line of the icon background of the first application icon.

Illustratively, the preset algorithm may specifically be:

wherein Z is a preset threshold value.

Assuming that the predetermined threshold is 40, then

That is, 3 tick marks are displayed on one edge line of the icon background of the first application icon.

In the embodiment of the application, after a user triggers a display device of an unread message to start an "unread notification water drop reminding mode" function, and sets a target transparency value and a preset threshold value in the display device of the unread message, when the display device of the unread message receives K unread messages through a target application program, the display device of the unread message can adjust the current transparency value of the icon background of a first application icon to the target transparency value, determine the size of a first background part of the first application icon according to the number K of the unread messages and a target ratio (the target ratio is determined based on the preset threshold value), and restore the transparency value of the first background part of the first application icon to the transparency value of the icon background before being reduced.

Therefore, when the display device of the unread messages receives the unread messages through the target application program, the transparency of the icon background of the first application icon can be reduced, the size of the first background part can be determined based on the number of the unread messages, and the transparency value of the first background part can be increased, so that the user can directly determine the number of the unread messages in the target application program through the sizes of the first background parts with different transparency values without displaying a corner mark on the first application icon by the display device of the unread messages, and therefore, the display space of the display device of the unread messages can be saved.

The following will exemplify how the display device of the unread message updates the area ratio of the first background part in the background of the icon, taking as an example the scenario where the display device of the unread message receives the first message.

Alternatively, in this embodiment of the application, as shown in fig. 5 in combination with fig. 1, the step 101 may be specifically implemented by a step 101a described below, and the step 102 may be specifically implemented by a step 102a described below.

Step 101a, receiving a first message when a first application icon is displayed.

It is to be appreciated that the display device of the unread message can receive the first message through the target application.

And 102a, under the condition that the first message is not processed, updating the number of the unread messages of the target application program from a second number to a third number, and updating the area ratio of the first background part in the icon background from a third ratio to a fourth ratio.

Further alternatively, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may determine the coordinate point of the first application icon according to the first message, then update the number of the unread messages of the target application program from the second number to the third number according to the coordinate point of the first application icon under the condition that the display device of the unread message does not process the first message, and update the area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon from the third ratio to the fourth ratio.

Specifically, in this embodiment, in the case that the first message is received, the display device of the unread message may identify, through the system background, the application name corresponding to the first message to determine the application program (i.e., the target application program) corresponding to the application name, so that the display device of the unread message may determine the first application icon according to the target application program to determine the coordinate point of the first application icon.

In an embodiment of the present application, the third ratio is: an area ratio of the first background portion to the background of the icon prior to receiving the first message; the difference between the third and fourth ratios and the difference between the second and third quantities are associated.

It is to be understood that the third ratio is smaller than the fourth ratio. The second number may specifically be the number of unread messages of the target application before receiving the first message. The third number may specifically be the number of unread messages of the target application after receiving the first message.

Further alternatively, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may determine the target size according to the difference between the second number and the third number and the target ratio, then determine a fifth ratio according to the target size, and adjust the third ratio to the fourth ratio according to the fifth ratio. Wherein the fifth ratio is: a difference between the third and fourth ratios.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the display device of the unread message may determine the target size according to a product of a difference between the second number and the third number and the target ratio to determine the fifth ratio.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the display device of the unread messages does not process the first message, it may be considered that the user may not want to view the first message at present, and therefore, the number of the unread messages of the target application is updated from the second number to the third number, and the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background is updated from the third ratio to the fourth ratio.

As described above, when the display device of the unread message receives the first message, if the display device of the unread message does not process the first message, the display device of the unread message may update the number of the unread messages of the target application from the second number to the third number, and increase the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background to prompt the user of the number of the unread messages of the target application without displaying a numerical corner mark on the first application icon, so that the display space of the display device of the unread message may be saved.

In the following, it will be exemplified how the display device of the unread message uses a control prompting method to prompt the unread message to the user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, as shown in fig. 6 in combination with fig. 5, before "updating the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background from the third ratio to the fourth ratio" in the above step 102a, the method for displaying the unread message provided in this embodiment of the application may further include

steps

301 and 302 described below, and the above step 102a may be specifically implemented by the step 102a1 described below.

Step 301, under the condition that the first message is not processed, updating the number of unread messages of the target application program from the second number to the third number, and displaying the target control corresponding to the first message.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, a target page is displayed on a display device of the unread message, the target page includes the first application icon and the notification message corresponding to the first message, and the display device of the unread message displays the target control corresponding to the first message when the display device of the unread message does not process the first message within a first preset time period.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may display the target control in the first display area in an animation display manner. The first display area may specifically be: and a display area corresponding to the first application icon in the display area of the notification message corresponding to the first message.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may change the notification message corresponding to the first message into a "water droplet" control, that is, a target control, in an animation display manner, so as to display the target control.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the first display area may specifically be: and the display area corresponding to the coordinate point of the first application icon in the display area of the notification message corresponding to the first message. For example, the notification message corresponding to the first message is displayed in the display area of the first application icon directly above the coordinate point of the first application icon.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, the mobile phone displays a target page, for example, a desktop 21, where the desktop 21 includes a first application icon 22 and a notification message 23 corresponding to a first message, and when the mobile phone does not process the first message within a first preset time period (for example, 5 seconds), the mobile phone may display a target control 25 in an animation display manner in the first display area 24.

And step 302, updating the display position of the target control.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may control the target control to move to the coordinate point of the first application icon at a preset speed, so as to update the display position of the target control.

Step 102a1, when the display position at least partially coincides with the display position of the first application icon, updating the number of unread messages of the target application from the second number to a third number.

It is understood that the display device of the unread message may control a "drop" control (i.e., a target control) to perform a drop motion, and in the case where the "drop" control drops into the first application icon, the display device of the unread message updates the area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon.

Therefore, the display device of the unread messages can display and update the display position of the target control, and the number of the unread messages of the target application program is updated from the second number to the third number under the condition that the display position of the target control is at least partially overlapped with the display position of the first application icon, so that the variety of the unread message prompts of the display device of the unread messages can be improved, and the use experience of a user can be improved.

Alternatively, in this embodiment of the application, as shown in fig. 8 in combination with fig. 1, the step 101 may be specifically implemented by a step 101b described below, and the step 102 may be specifically implemented by a step 102b described below.

And step 101b, receiving a first input under the condition that the first application icon is displayed.

For example, as shown in fig. 9 (a), the mobile phone displays a target page (e.g., a page 26), the page 26 includes a first application icon 27, and the first application icon 27 indicates a target application program, so that a user can make a first input (e.g., a flip and shake input) to the mobile phone; as shown in fig. 9 (B), the user may first turn the mobile phone by 180 ° (the position of the turned mobile phone is shown as a dotted line), and then shake the mobile phone by 60 °, so as to perform the first input.

And 102b, responding to the first input, updating the area ratio of the first background part in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio, and marking a first number of unread messages as a read state.

Wherein, the first proportion is as follows: an area ratio of the first background portion to the background of the icon before receiving the first input; the difference between the first and second ratios is associated with a first quantity.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the display device of the unread messages is in the preset state and the input parameter of the first input meets the third preset condition, the display device of the unread messages responds to the first input, updates the area ratio of the first background part in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio, and marks the first number of unread messages as the read state.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, after the display device of the unread message starts the "unread notification water drop alert mode" function, the display device of the unread message may obtain, in real time, measurement data detected by the measurement sensor of the display device of the unread message, so as to determine whether the display device of the unread message is in the preset state and whether the first input parameter meets the third preset condition according to the measurement data.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the measurement sensor may include at least one of: a gyroscope and an acceleration sensor. The measurement data may include at least one of: a rotation angle value, a rotation acceleration value and a shaking amplitude. Wherein the rotation angle value is: the angle value of the display device of the unread message rotating in any direction is as follows: acceleration values at which the display device of the unread message is rotated in an arbitrary direction.

For example, the display device of the unread message may determine whether the display device of the unread message is in a preset state according to a rotation angle value of the display device of the unread message detected by the gyroscope and a rotation acceleration value of the display device of the unread message detected by the acceleration sensor.

For example, in the case where the rotation angle value is greater than or equal to the preset angle value, the display device of the unread message may determine that the display device of the unread message is in an inverted state, and in the case where the rotation acceleration value is greater than or equal to the preset acceleration value, the display device of the unread message may determine that the display device of the unread message is in a shaking state, so that the display device of the unread message may determine that the display device of the unread message is in the preset state.

It is understood that the preset state may be an inverted and shaken state.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may determine whether the input parameter of the first input meets the third preset condition according to the shaking amplitude of the display device of the unread message, which is detected by the gyroscope.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, in the case that the shaking amplitude of the first input is greater than or equal to the preset amplitude (e.g., 120 °), the display device of the unread message may determine that the input parameter of the first input satisfies the third preset condition.

It will be appreciated that the input parameters of the first input are: and turning and shaking to input a corresponding shaking amplitude. The third preset condition is as follows: the shaking amplitude is greater than or equal to a preset amplitude.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when it is determined that the display device of the unread message is in the preset state and the input parameter of the first input meets the third preset condition, the display device of the unread message may display the first prompt information, and after the second preset duration, update the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio, and mark the first number of unread messages as the read state.

It will be appreciated that the first ratio is greater than the second ratio.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the display device of the unread messages may determine, according to the input parameter of the first input, a first number corresponding to the input parameter, and based on the first number, turn down the area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon, and mark the unread messages of the first number in the target application as the read messages.

It should be noted that, for the display device of the unread message, the description of the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background is reduced based on the first number, and reference may be made to the detailed description in the foregoing embodiments, which is not described herein again in this embodiment of the application.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the first prompt message may include any one of the following items: text prompt information, video prompt information and animation prompt information.

For example, referring to (B) in fig. 9, as shown in fig. 10, in the case that it is determined that the mobile phone is in the inverted and shaking state, and the shaking amplitude is greater than or equal to the preset amplitude, the mobile phone may display a first prompt message (for example, "clearing" the prompt message 28), and after a second preset time period (for example, 3 seconds), update the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio, and mark the first number of unread messages of the target application as the read state.

Therefore, the display device of the unread messages can directly update the area ratio of the first background part in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio according to the first input of the user, and directly mark the unread messages of the first number of the target application programs as the read state without the need of multiple operations of the user, so that the efficiency of marking the messages by the display device of the unread messages can be improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the target application has a first state. Specifically, the step 102b can be realized by the step 102b1 described below.

Step 102b1, in response to the first input, updates the area ratio of the first background portion in the background of the icon from the first ratio to the second ratio with the target application in the first state, and marks a first number of unread messages as read.

It is understood that the first state may specifically be: an unlocked state. That is, when the target application is in the unlocked state, the display device of the unread messages may update the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio, and mark a first number of unread messages as the read state.

Therefore, the display device of the unread messages can update the area ratio of the first background part in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio under the condition that the target application program is in the first state, mark the first number of unread messages as the read state, and not directly mark the first number of unread messages of the target application program as the read state, so that misoperation caused by mistaken touch of a user can be avoided, and the accuracy of marking the messages by the display device of the unread messages can be improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target application has a second state. Specifically, the step 102b may be replaced with a step 102c described below.

And 102c, keeping the area ratio of the first background part on the background of the icon unchanged under the condition that the target application program is in the second state.

It is understood that the second state may specifically be: a locked state. That is, when the target application is in the locked state, the display device of the unread messages does not update the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio, and marks a first number of unread messages of the target application as the read state.

Therefore, the display device of the unread message can keep the area ratio of the first background part on the icon background unchanged under the condition that the target application program is in the second state, namely, the unread message of the target application program is not marked as the read state, so that misoperation caused by mistaken touch of a user can be avoided, and the accuracy of marking the message by the display device of the unread message can be improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, before the step 102c, the method for displaying the unread message provided in this embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 401 and step 402.

Step 401, receiving a second input of the first application icon from the user.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when a selection input of the option of the "unread notification drip alert mode" by the user is detected, the display device of the unread message may start the "unread notification drip alert mode" function, so that the user may perform the second input when the target page is displayed and the first application icon is included in the target page.

In this embodiment of the application, the second input is used to trigger the display device of the unread message to control the application to be in the second state.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second input may include a first sub-input and a second sub-input, the first sub-input is a pressing input (e.g., a long pressing input, a clicking input, a double-clicking input, and the like) of the first application icon by the user, the first sub-input is used for triggering the display device of the unread message to display a first window, the first window includes a "lock" control therein, the second sub-input is a pressing input (e.g., a clicking input) of the "lock" control by the user, and the display device of the unread message controls the application to be in a locked state.

For example, as shown in fig. 11 (a), the mobile phone displays a target page (e.g., page 29), where the page 29 includes a first application icon 30, so that the user can perform a first sub-input (e.g., long-press input) on the first application icon 30; as shown in fig. 11 (B), after the user makes a long press input, the mobile phone may display a first window (e.g., window 31), in which window 31 a "lock" control 32 is included, so that the user may make a second sub-input (e.g., click input) to the "lock" control 32.

And 402, under the condition that the second input meets the first preset condition, responding to the second input by the display device of the unread message, and adjusting the target application program from the first state to the second state.

It will be appreciated that where the second sub-input is a user click input to the "lock" control, the display of the unread message adjusts the target application from the first state to the second state in response to the second input.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after the display device of the unread message adjusts the target application program from the first state to the second state, the display device of the unread message may display the target identifier on the first application icon.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target identifier may be any one of the following: text, numbers, pictures, etc.

For example, referring to fig. 11 (B), as shown in fig. 12, after the user makes the second sub-input, the mobile phone may control the target application program to be in the second state, and display the target identifier (e.g., "lock" picture 33) on the first application icon 30.

Therefore, the display device of the unread message can adjust the target application program from the first state to the second state according to the second input of the user to the first application icon, so that the display device of the unread message can keep the area ratio of the first background part on the icon background unchanged, and therefore misoperation caused by mistaken touch of the user can be avoided, and therefore the accuracy of marking the message by the display device of the unread message can be improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment, with reference to fig. 1, as shown in fig. 13, after the step 102, the method for displaying the unread message provided in this embodiment may further include the following step 501 and step 502.

And step 501, receiving a third input of the user.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when a selection input of the option of the "unread notification drip alert mode" by the user is detected, the display device of the unread message may start the "unread notification drip alert mode" function, so that the user may perform a third input when the target page is displayed and the first application icon is included in the target page.

In this embodiment, the third input is used to trigger the display device of the unread message to display content.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the third input may specifically be: and (4) inputting that the user rotates the display device of the unread message on the first plane by another angle.

And 502, under the condition that the third input meets a second preset condition, responding to the third input and displaying the first content.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after the display device of the unread message starts the "unread notification water drop alert mode" function, the display device of the unread message may obtain, in real time, measurement data detected by the measurement sensor of the display device of the unread message, adjust the shape of the first background portion of the first application icon according to the measurement data, and determine whether the input parameter of the third input satisfies the second preset condition according to the measurement data.

Specifically, the display device of the unread message may determine a shape corresponding to the rotation angle value (i.e., a shape of the first background portion of the first application icon) according to the rotation angle value of the display device of the unread message detected by the gyroscope, and update a current shape of the first background portion of the first application icon to the shape corresponding to the rotation angle value. Wherein an edge line (e.g., an upper edge line) of the first background portion of the updated first application icon is parallel to the horizontal plane.

It can be understood that the display device of the unread message can adjust the shape of the first background portion of the first application icon in real time according to the rotation angle value of the display device of the unread message, so that the first background portion of the first application icon is inclined like water along with the angle change of the display device of the unread message, thereby improving the interest.

Specifically, the display device of the unread message may determine whether the input parameter of the third input satisfies the second preset condition according to a rotation angle value of the display device of the unread message detected by the gyroscope.

For example, in the case where the rotation angle value of the third input is greater than or equal to a preset value (e.g., 30 °), the display apparatus of the unread message may determine that the input parameter of the third input satisfies the second preset condition.

It will be appreciated that the input parameters for the third input are: and thirdly, inputting a corresponding rotation angle value. The second preset condition is as follows: the rotation angle value is greater than or equal to a preset value.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first content is used to indicate the number of unread messages of the target application.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first content may be a number corresponding to the number of unread messages in an application.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the display device of the unread message may update the application name of the target application program to the first content, so as to display the first content.

For example, as shown in fig. 14 (a), the mobile phone displays a target page (for example, a page 35), where the page 35 includes a first application icon 36, so that the user can perform a third input on the mobile phone (the figure shows that a position after the mobile phone is rotated is a dotted line); as shown in (B) of fig. 14, after the user performs the third input, in a case that the rotation angle value corresponding to the third input is greater than or equal to the preset value, the mobile phone may update the application name corresponding to the first application icon 36 to the first content 37, where the content 37 is used to indicate the number of unread messages of the target application program.

In the embodiment of the application, when the user wants to determine the number of the unread messages of the target application, the user can directly perform third input on the display device of the unread messages, so that the display device of the unread messages can directly update the application names of the target application to the number of the unread messages of the target application under the condition that the rotation angle value of the third input is greater than or equal to the preset value, and the user can directly view the number of the unread messages.

Therefore, the display device of the unread messages can display the number of the unread messages of the target application program according to the third input of the user under the condition that the input parameter of the third input meets the second preset condition so as to prompt the user of the number of the unread messages of the target application program, and a digital corner mark does not need to be displayed on the first application icon, so that the display space of the display screen of the display device of the unread messages can be saved.

Fig. 15 shows a schematic diagram of a possible structure of a display device of an unread message according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 15, the display device 60 of the unread message may include: a receiving module 61 and an updating module 62.

The updating module 62 is specifically configured to update the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio in response to the first input received by the receiving module 61, and mark the first number of unread messages as a read state. Wherein, the first proportion is as follows: an area ratio of the first background portion to the background of the icon before receiving the first input; the difference between the first and second ratios is associated with a first quantity.

In a possible implementation manner, the receiving module 61 is specifically configured to receive the first message when the first application icon is displayed. The updating module 62 is specifically configured to update the number of unread messages of the target application from the second number to the third number and update the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background from the third ratio to the fourth ratio without processing the first message. Wherein the third ratio is: an area ratio of the first background portion to the background of the icon prior to receiving the first message; the difference between the third and fourth ratios and the difference between the second and third quantities are associated.

In one possible implementation, the target application has a first state. The updating module 62 is specifically configured to update the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background from the first ratio to the second ratio when the target application is in the first state.

In one possible implementation, the target application has a second state. The updating module 62 is further configured to keep the area ratio of the first background portion on the background of the icon unchanged when the target application is in the second state.

And the display module is used for displaying the target control corresponding to the first message. The updating module 62 is further configured to update the display position of the target control displayed by the display module. The updating module 62 is specifically configured to update the area ratio of the first background portion in the icon background from the third ratio to the fourth ratio when the display position at least partially coincides with the display position of the first application icon.

According to the display device of the unread messages, the area ratio of the first background part of the first application icon in the icon background is related to the number of the unread messages of the target application program corresponding to the first application icon; in this way, in the case where the display device of the unread message receives the message through the target application, the display device of the unread message can update the area ratio of the first background part of the background of the icon in the background of the icon based on the number of unread messages of the target application after the message is received, or, in the case where the display device of the unread message receives the first input, the display device of the unread message may update an area ratio of the first background portion of the background of the icon in the background of the icon based on the number of unread messages of the target application after receiving the first input, to prompt the user for the number of unread messages for the target application, without displaying a numeric corner mark on the first application icon, therefore, the area of the display space corresponding to the first application icon can be prevented from being increased, and therefore, the display space of the display screen of the display device for unread messages is saved.
