The display interface includes at least two split screen areas, and the specific steps are as follows:

S101. Receive a split screen instruction, where the split screen instruction comprises a contact split screen instruction and/or a contactless split screen instruction;

A mobile terminal with a screen display interface is taken as an example for illustration. For example, after the user clicks the hardware button of the mobile terminal or the graphical display button, when entering the free split screen mode, the user can perform the related split screen operation. In the free split screen mode, the user is allowed to select or divide the split screen area of the current screen display interface of the mobile terminal.

Alternatively, the user uses a finger or other touch screen input device to draw the contour of the split screen area on the current screen display interface.

Alternatively, the split screen command is generated by sound. Correspondingly, the mobile terminal is a device that accepts voice control.

Alternatively, a screen line is displayed on the screen display interface of the mobile terminal, and the user can pull or drag the screen line to perform a split screen operation. The split screen line can be directly displayed on the screen display interface of the mobile terminal, or can be called up (or generated) in various ways. For example, the split screen line can be the edge line of the screen display interface.

Alternatively, a split screen command may be generated by using a gesture or the like, such as a two-finger screen to generate a split screen command, or, for example, a finger gripping the screen display interface does not move, and a finger slides on the screen display interface to generate a split screen command.

S102. According to the split screen instruction, at least two split screen areas are divided on the screen, and the split screen area is a regular shape and/or an irregular shape.

It should be noted that one of the sound, brightness, font size, font type, or command response of the at least two split screen areas or any combination of the foregoing is separately controlled. Moreover, the icons in the at least two split screen areas are all the same or partially the same.

In this embodiment, when the user uses a finger or other touch screen input device to draw the outline of the split screen area, when the outline forms a closed loop connected domain, the area inside the connected domain is the selected split screen area. The selected split screen area is automatically converted into a picture-in-picture area, which is displayed independently on the original area, and the original area is not affected. The selected split screen area can support dragging or free zooming, zooming, etc. Independent menu operations and tasks can be performed when focus is achieved.

Or, when the contour is close to the closed-loop connected domain, it is automatically corrected to a closed loop, and the corrected connected domain is the split-screen region.

Or, when the contour line is a straight line, according to the trajectory of the straight line, the original display area is automatically split according to the trajectory.

S11. Changing the display area of at least one split screen area;
