Technical field

The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of terminals, and in particular, to a display method of a terminal device and a terminal device.

Background technique

Currently, there are many terminal devices with display functions, such as mobile phones, tablets, and the like. These terminal devices all have a display screen, and the corresponding application or content can be displayed on the display according to the user's instruction.

In the prior art, for a terminal device such as a mobile phone or a tablet with a touch screen, the user needs a series of operations of clicking the touch screen to select an application or content that he wants to view, that is, the terminal device needs to detect the user's one. A series of clicks will display the corresponding app or content on the display. The user operation is cumbersome and the experience is not good.

Summary of the invention

The embodiment of the invention provides a display method and a terminal device of a terminal device, which are used to simplify user operations and improve user experience.

In one aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display method of a terminal device. The terminal device detects at least one of a folding angle of the display screen, a curved curvature of the display screen, a placement angle, and a stationary placement time; when the folding angle, the bending curvature, the placement angle, and the stationary placement time The terminal device displays the first application or the first content when at least one of the conditions meets the preset condition.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may detect at least one of a folding angle of the display screen, a bending curvature of the display screen, a placement angle, and a stationary placement time according to the type of the display screen of the terminal device; when the folding angle, The terminal device displays the first application or the first content when at least one of the bending curvature, the placement angle, and the stationary placement time meets a preset condition. The user can display the application or content that meets the user's needs without the user clicking the touch screen, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal device has a non-folding screen; the terminal device detects a placement angle and a static placement time; when the placement angle belongs to a first interval range and the static placement time is greater than When the threshold is reached, the terminal device displays the first application or the first content. According to this embodiment, the terminal device is triggered to display an application or content that meets the user's needs through a certain condition of the placement angle and the static placement time, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience. For example, when the phone is tilted at an angle and placed at a certain angle for more than the preset time, Play the video, when the phone is tilted at a certain angle and the rest time exceeds the preset time, the recipe is displayed.

It can be understood that, because some terminal devices can implement split screen display, that is, multiple content of the same application or content of different applications can be simultaneously displayed on the display screen, when the placement angle belongs to the first interval range And when the static placement time is greater than the first threshold, the terminal device may display only the first application or the first content; and the terminal device may simultaneously display the first application and the second application or the first content and the second content. . In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of applications or contents displayed at the same time is not limited, and may be two or more.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal device has a rigid two-fold folding screen; the terminal device detects a folding angle and a static placement time of the display screen; when the folding angle belongs to the second interval range and the stationary placement When the time is greater than the second threshold, the terminal device displays the first application or the first content. According to this embodiment, the terminal device is triggered to display an application or content that meets the user's needs through a certain folding angle and a static placement time, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience. For example, when the folding angle of the folding screen mobile phone is greater than 0° and less than 180° and the stationary standing time exceeds the preset time, the video is played.

In a possible implementation manner, when the folding angle belongs to the second interval range and the static placement time is greater than the second threshold, the terminal device determines whether the folding state is a horizontal folding placement or a vertical folding placement; The terminal device is placed in a horizontal folding or vertical folding according to the folded state, and displays the first application or the first content. According to this embodiment, when the folding angle and the stationary placement time satisfy the preset condition, it is further determined whether the folding state is a horizontal folding placement or a vertical folding placement, and the terminal device is triggered to display an application or content that meets the user's needs, thereby simplifying the user operation. Improved user experience. For example, when the folded state is placed in a horizontally folded position, the video is played, and when the folded state is placed vertically, the recipe is displayed.

In a possible implementation manner, when the folding angle belongs to the third interval range and the static placement time is greater than the third threshold, the terminal device displays the second application or the second content. According to the embodiment, the terminal device is triggered to display an application or content that meets the user's needs by the different interval ranges to which the folding angle belongs, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience. For example, when the folding angle of the folding screen mobile phone is greater than 0° and less than 180° and the stationary standing time exceeds the preset time, the video is played, when the folding screen mobile phone has a folding angle greater than 180° and less than 360° and the stationary placement time exceeds the preset. When the time is up, the recipe is displayed.

In a possible implementation manner, after the terminal device displays the application or the content, when the folding angle changes, the terminal device displays the third application or the third content. According to this embodiment, by changing the folding angle, the terminal device is triggered to switch the displayed application or content, and the application or content that meets the user's needs is displayed, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience. For example, when the folding screen mobile phone plays a video, if the folding angle of the folding screen mobile phone changes, the video is stopped and the recipe is switched to display.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal device has a rigid N-folding screen, N≥3; the terminal device detects N folding angles of the rigid N-folding screen; when the N folding angles The terminal device displays the first application or the first content when each of the folding angles coincides with the preset angle. According to the embodiment, for a multi-fold terminal device having a folding screen with more than three folds, when the terminal device is in a closed state by folding the angle, the terminal device is triggered to display an application or content that meets the user's needs, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user's operation. user experience. For example, when the folding screen phone is in the closed state, the recipe is displayed.

In a possible implementation manner, when at least one of the N folding angles is inconsistent with a preset angle, the terminal device determines to form the folding according to each of the N folding angles. An application or content displayed by at least one of the two screens of the angle. According to this embodiment, for a folding screen having more than three folds The multi-fold terminal device determines that the terminal device is in a non-closed state by folding the angle, and triggers the terminal device to display an application or content that meets the user's needs on each screen according to the folding angle, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience. For example, when the tri-fold folding screen phone is in a non-closed state, the recipe is displayed on the first screen and the second screen, and the video is displayed on the third screen.

In a possible implementation, the terminal device has a flexible screen; the terminal device detects a bending curvature of the flexible screen; when the bending curvature of the flexible screen is consistent with the first predetermined bending curvature, The terminal device displays the first application or the first content. According to this embodiment, for a terminal device having a flexible screen, the terminal device is triggered to display an application or content that meets the user's needs by the curvature of the flexible screen that meets the preset condition, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience. For example, when the curvature of the flexible screen characterizes that the terminal device is S-shaped, the video is displayed.

In a possible implementation manner, when the bending curvature of the flexible screen is consistent with the second predetermined bending curvature, the terminal device displays the second application or the second content. According to the embodiment, for a terminal device having a flexible screen, different bending curvatures may be set to display different applications or contents, and the bending device of the flexible screen that meets the preset condition is triggered to trigger the terminal device to display an application or content that meets the user's needs. This simplifies user operations and enhances the user experience. For example, when the bending curvature of the flexible screen indicates that the terminal device is S-shaped, the video is displayed, and when the bending curvature of the flexible screen indicates that the terminal device is in the shape of a surrounding arm, health monitoring data such as heart rate is displayed.

In a possible implementation manner, when the bending curvature of the flexible screen changes, the terminal device displays the third application or the third content. According to this embodiment, for a terminal device having a flexible screen, the terminal device is triggered to switch the displayed application or content by changing the curvature, thereby realizing display of an application or content that meets the user's needs, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the user experience. For example, when the terminal device plays a video, if the curvature is changed, the video is stopped and the health monitoring data such as the heart rate is switched.

detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

The embodiment of the invention provides a display method of a terminal device. According to different types of display screens of the terminal device, the terminal device detects at least one of a folding angle of the display screen, a bending curvature of the display screen, a placement angle, and a stationary placement time; when the folding angle, the bending curvature, the The terminal device displays the first application or the first content when at least one of the placement angle and the stationary placement time meets the preset condition. The first application or the first content may be preset by the user, or the first application or the first content may be determined according to an application or content recently displayed by the terminal device. It can be understood that the terminal device can also display other at least one application or content while displaying the first application or the first content. The at least one application or content may be preset by the user, or the at least one application or content may be determined according to the application or content recently displayed by the terminal device.

Generally, the display screen of the terminal device has the following types: a non-folding screen, a rigid two-fold folding screen, a rigid multi-fold folding screen (hard N-fold folding screen, N≥3), and a flexible screen. According to the type of the display screen, the terminal device detects the corresponding parameter, and when the parameter meets the preset condition, causes the terminal device to display the corresponding application or content. The above application or content may be preset by the user, or may be displayed recently by the terminal device, so that the user's needs can be met with a high probability.

In one example, the terminal device has a non-folding screen; the terminal device detects a placement angle and a stationary placement time; when the placement angle belongs to a first interval range and the stationary placement time is greater than a first threshold, The terminal device displays the first application or the first content. In a specific application scenario, when the non-folding screen mobile phone is fixed by the bracket, the non-folding screen mobile phone has a fixed placement angle, so that the placement angle of the non-folding screen mobile phone can be detected and the placement angle can be maintained. The static placement time is used to determine whether the non-folding screen mobile phone is fixed by the bracket, and when it is confirmed that the non-folding screen mobile phone is fixed by the bracket, a specific at least one application or content is displayed, for example, displaying at least one application or content preset by the user, or Show at least one app or content that was recently displayed.

As the size of mobile phones continues to increase, large-screen mobile phones have a better visual experience and lead to difficulties. With the continuous development of touch technology, flexible display technology and corresponding material technologies, folding screen mobile phones have emerged. Since this form of mobile phone is currently only developed by a very small number of manufacturers, and there are only a few concept prototype machines on the market, the related display methods for folding screen mobile phones are still not perfect.

For example, the screen of a foldable device can be bent for easy carrying. The foldable device is displayed in a dual screen when in the unfolded state and the half-folded state, and displayed in a single screen in the folded state.

Another type of foldable device is a mobile phone when folded, and a flat panel when opened, and the content is displayed on a split screen.

Another foldable device, when the mobile phone is turned on, the dual screen displays the same application (Application, APP) content; or, when the mobile phone is turned on, the dual screen displays a separate content (for example, two APPs, one APP and one desktop). An APP has an associated content, etc.); when the phone is folded, the left screen displays the content and the right screen is blacked out.

By analyzing the display method of the above-mentioned folding screen mobile phone, the existing folding screen mobile phone and conceptual design are all concerned with the full screen and split screen display of the content. There are not many application scenarios for mobile phone folding.

The embodiment of the invention provides a series of display methods for the application scenario of the folding of the mobile phone.

Embodiments of the present invention focus on how to determine whether to enter the fold mode to open the corresponding APP or content by identifying whether the user's current mobile phone is folded, what is the folding angle, and whether it is relatively stationary for more than a specified length of time.

The embodiment of the invention discloses how to quickly start the application or content required by the user by the folding angle of the specific display screen, the placement angle or the curvature of the display screen. It can be applied to a variety of different foldable or non-collapsible handheld terminal devices, such as various folding screen mobile phones, folding screen tablets and the like.

In one example, the terminal device has a rigid two-fold folding screen, for example, a conventional folding screen mobile phone; the terminal device detects a folding angle and a stationary placement time of the display screen; when the folding angle belongs to the second interval range and When the static placement time is greater than the second threshold, the terminal device displays the first application or the first content.

In another example, when the folding angle belongs to the second interval range and the stationary placement time is greater than the second threshold, the terminal device determines whether the folding state is a horizontal folding placement or a vertical folding placement; The folded state is a horizontal folding placement or a vertical folding placement to display the first application or the first content. Among them, the application or content that can be set in advance by the horizontal folding placement display is different from the application or content displayed in the vertical folding placement.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a display method of a mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mobile phone in the embodiment is a folding screen mobile phone and the display screen is a rigid two-fold folding screen, and the method includes:

In step 101, the user folds the mobile phone.

In step 102, the mobile phone detects whether the folding angle (ie, the folding angle) satisfies 0°<the angle <180°.

If the detection result is yes, step 103 is performed; if the detection result is no, step 102 is continued.

In step 103, it is judged whether the stationary state is satisfied for more than n seconds in the steady state.

If the determination result is yes, step 104 is performed; if the determination result is no, step 103 is continued.

In step 104, it is determined whether the device is placed in a horizontally folded or vertically folded position.

If the result of the determination is that the horizontal folding is placed, step 105 is performed; if the result of the determination is vertical folding, step 106 is performed.

In step 105, the mobile phone enters the horizontal folding mode, and the APPa or the content a is opened.

Wherein, APPa or content a is opened, and correspondingly, the display screen displays APPa or content a.

Step 106, the mobile phone enters the vertical folding mode, and opens the APPb or the content b.

Wherein, APPb or content b is opened, and correspondingly, the display screen displays APPb or content b.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the user folds up the mobile phone and places the mobile phone in a steady state for more than a specified time, the folding mode is entered, and in the folding mode, an APP or a specified content can be quickly viewed.

In one example, the user is allowed to customize the APP or specific content displayed in the fold mode: and/or, the horizontally folded mobile phone and the vertically folded mobile phone can be set to display different APPs or different content respectively; and/or When the folding angle is changed to change the folding angle, the displayed APP or content can be changed; and/or, when the specific folding angle is set, the folding screen mode displays a specific APP or specific content.

In another example, the terminal device displays the second application or the second content when the folding angle belongs to the third interval range and the stationary placement time is greater than the third threshold.

In another example, after the terminal device displays the application or the content, when the folding angle changes, the terminal device displays the third application or the third content.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing different contents of different folding angles in the folding mode. When the folding angle satisfies 0°<the angle<180°, the folding mode can be entered. In the folding mode, the folding angle is divided into different interval ranges, and each interval range corresponds to a specific APP or specific content. Referring to FIG. 2, in the folding mode, APP1 or content 1 is opened when 0°<offset<N°; APP2 or content 2 is opened when N°=<corner<(N+M)°; when (N+ M) °=<corner angle <(N+2M)°, open APP3 or content 3; when (N+2M)°=<angle angle<(N+3M)°, open APP4 or content 4, and so on, Among them, N and M are both positive numbers. In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the divided interval ranges is not limited, and the range of 0° <the angle of <180° may be divided into only two interval ranges, or may be divided into a larger number of interval ranges.

In one example, it can be determined based on the coordinate system shown in FIG. 3 whether the device is placed in a landscape fold or a vertical fold. Referring to Fig. 3, the coordinate axis can be defined as follows: the horizontal plane of the earth is X, the Y axis, perpendicular to the surface of the earth, and the center of the earth is the -Z axis.

4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining whether a mobile phone is placed in a horizontally folded (horizontal) or vertically folded (vertical) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the method includes:

In step 401, the user folds the mobile phone.

Step 402: Determine whether the number of angles between the rotating shaft of the mobile phone and the X-axis is smaller than the angle between the rotating shaft of the mobile phone and the Z-axis.

Step 403: Determine whether the number of angles between the rotating shaft of the mobile phone and the Y-axis is smaller than the angle between the rotating shaft of the mobile phone and the Z-axis.

Step 404, if the judgment result of step 402 and step 403 is yes, it is confirmed that the mobile phone is placed horizontally.

Step 405, if the judgment result of step 402 and step 403 is no, it is confirmed that the mobile phone is vertically placed.

In one example, the mobile phone's motion acceleration is 0, and it can be determined that the mobile phone is stationary under steady state. It can detect whether the motion acceleration of the mobile phone is 0 by means of Global Positioning System (GPS) positioning, sensors, and the like.

The display method of the terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in the following with reference to a specific application scenario. The "APP" in the following scenario example is for reference only, and also applies to specific modules, content, and so on.

Scene 1: Place the phone in the folded state at rest (on the table, on the floor, on the stand, etc.), then the phone enters the fold mode and displays the contents of the fold mode.

Figure 5 is a comparison of the lateral folding placement and the vertical folding placement. Referring to FIG. 5, when the mobile phone is placed horizontally by default, the video that is being watched recently is displayed in the folding mode (can be from a native video or a third-party video app, and which video APP is displayed according to the video source that the user recently viewed); the default vertical pendulum Show your favorite recipes in fold mode when you put your phone. Allow users to customize the content displayed in the folding mode. The video app and recipe APP in the example are only used as examples.

Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing different APPs or contents under different folding angles. Referring to Figure 6, the device can be set to enter a fold mode to display particular content at a particular chamfer or a particular range of angles. For example, when the corner 1 is between 150 degrees or 135° to 165°, enter the folding mode display video; when the angle 2 is between 120° or 105° to 135°, enter the folding mode display album; the corner 3 is 90° or When it is between 75° and 105°, enter the folding mode to display recipes, etc.

Scene 2: After entering the folding mode, the user is allowed to switch the content displayed in the folding mode by changing the folding angle.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of an APP that changes the folding angle display. Referring to FIG. 7, for example, after entering the folding mode, the folding angle is changed once (for example, 5° <off angle <180°), and the displayed content is switched from the APP displayed in the default setting of the folding mode to the most recently used APP, and then changed. Once you fold the corner, switch to another popular app. By changing the folding angle, the following APP loop can be displayed: the default setting of the folding mode display APP>Common APP1>Common APP2>Common APP3>...>Common APPn>Fold mode display APP of the default setting. In this case, when the folding angle is changed in a single direction, for example, when the folding angle is reduced or enlarged, the display APP is cycled; or when the folding angle is changed at will, the display APP is cycled.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of changing the content of the fold angle switching default folding mode APP. Referring to FIG. 8, for example, after entering the folding mode, the folding angle is changed once (5°<corner angle<180°), and the displayed content is switched from the APP homepage of the default setting to the content 1 recently viewed in the APP, and the folding angle is changed again. , switched from content 1 that was recently viewed to content 2. By changing the chamfer, a loop for displaying the following content can be performed: the default setting of the folding mode displays the contents of APP a Home>APP1 1>APP a content 2>APP a content 3>...>APP a content n> The default setting of the folding mode displays the APP a home page.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of the layer-by-layer operation of changing the folding angle from the APP homepage to the content list page to the content details and the like. Referring to FIG. 9, for example, after entering the folding mode, the folding angle is changed once (5°<corner angle<180°), and the displayed content is switched from the default setting folding mode display APP homepage to the content list in the APP, and the folding angle switching is changed again. To the content details. The layer-by-layer operation from the APP home page to the content list to the content details is completed by changing the folding angle. It should be noted that the above switching is not limited to only the first page to the list to the details, and the layer-by-layer operation is different depending on the APP.

Scene 3: After entering the folding mode, pick up the phone and adjust the folding angle (the angle between 0° and 180°) to keep the phone in the folding mode. When the phone is extended to 180 degrees or the phone is folded to 0 degrees. Exit the fold mode.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the GPS acceleration, the sensor, and the like can be used to determine that the motion acceleration of the device is zero when the device has a folding angle, and the device remains in this state for more than a period of time, and then enters the folding mode. In the folding mode, the device will open a certain set display content or APP by default; the different displayed content or APP may be opened by default due to different folding angles; the folding angle may be changed to let the device switch the displayed content or APP. In the folding mode, the device can be moved and bent at will, and the device exits the folding mode only when the corner is 0° or 180°.

In one example, the terminal device has a rigid N-folding screen, N≥3; the terminal device detects N folding angles of the rigid N-folding screen; when each of the N folding angles is folded The angle is opposite to the preset angle When consistent, the terminal device displays the first application or the first content.

In another example, when at least one of the N folding angles is inconsistent with the preset angle, the terminal device determines two of the folding angles according to each of the N folding angles. An application or content displayed on at least one of the screens.

Fig. 10 is a schematic view showing a state in which a hard screen is folded three times. Among them, the a, b, c, d, e, f tri-fold screen is in a closed state, and the g, h, i tri-fold screen is in a non-closed state. In one example, when the tri-fold screen is closed (only up to two sides of each screen are not connected to another screen), a particular APP is opened or specific content is displayed. For example, when the tri-fold screen is closed, the voice assistant is turned on by default. In another example, referring to the schematic diagram of the non-closed state display method shown in FIG. 11, the tri-fold screen is in a non-closed state, and when there are two chamfers between the screens of the tri-fold screen, the first chamfer a (from left to right) Controlling the display content of the other screen connected to the first screen and the folding angle a; the second folding angle b controls the display content of the last screen. Among them, the tri-fold screen changes the chamfer to switch the display content logic is the same as the two-fold screen principle; change the chamfer to switch the displayed APP; change the chamfer to switch the content in the default folding mode APP; change the chamfer to complete from the APP home page to the content list page to Layer-by-layer operations such as content details. I will not repeat them here.

It can be seen from the above-mentioned three-fold screen display method that when the hard screen is folded, the multi-fold screen is closed (only two sides of each screen are connected to another screen at most), and a specific APP is opened or specific content is displayed. For example, when the multi-fold screen is closed, the voice assistant is turned on by default. When the multi-fold screen is in the non-closed state, when there are N folding angles between the multi-fold screens, the first folding angle a1 (from left to right) controls the display content of the other screen connected to the first screen and the folding angle a1; the second The corner a2 controls the display content of the next screen, and so on. Among them, the logic of changing the display content of the multi-fold screen to change the folding angle is the same as the principle of the two-fold screen: changing the folding angle can switch the displayed APP; changing the folding angle to switch the content in the default folding mode APP; changing the folding angle is completed from the APP homepage to the content list page to Layer-by-layer operations such as content details. I will not repeat them here.

In one example, the terminal device has a flexible screen; the terminal device detects a bending curvature of the flexible screen; when the bending curvature of the flexible screen coincides with the first predetermined bending curvature, the terminal device displays The first application or the first content.

Optionally, when the bending curvature of the flexible screen is consistent with the second predetermined bending curvature, the terminal device displays the second application or the second content.

Optionally, after the terminal device displays the application or the content, when the bending curvature of the flexible screen changes, the terminal device displays the third application or the third content.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a specific APP or specific content when the flexible screen is in a specific form. Referring to FIG. 12, for example, in a, when the flexible screen device is bent into an S-shape, when placed, the mobile phone screen displays the album by default; in the b, when the flexible screen device is completely wrapped around the arm, the mobile phone screen displays heart rate and other health monitoring by default. In addition, when the flexible screen device is folded in the middle like a book and the two sides are slightly bent on the table, the mobile phone screen displays an e-book by default. Wherein, when the flexible screen changes the bending curvature, the display content can be switched; when the bending curvature is changed, the displayed APP can be switched; the bending curvature is changed to switch the content in the default mode APP; and the bending curvature is changed from the APP homepage to the content list page to the content details, etc. Layer by layer operation. The principle of the above switching is the same as the principle that the hard screen changes the folding angle to switch the display content or the APP, and details are not described herein.

The technical details involved in the embodiments of the present invention are described below.
