Therefore, in this embodiment, the icon identifier includes at least two levels of carriers, and when the icon identifier is displayed, the at least two levels of carriers can present a stereoscopic effect; the display of the three-dimensional icons is realized, and the problem that the display of the plane icons is monotonous is solved.

Method embodiment two

The second embodiment of the display control method provided by the invention is applied to an electronic device, wherein the electronic device is provided with a display screen; the display screen can be a touch screen or a non-touch screen.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an implementation of a display control method according to a second embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

step 301: obtaining an icon identification; the icon identification comprises at least two levels of carriers, and the at least two levels of carriers form the icon identification;

here, the carrier may be a carrier having a regular shape, such as a rectangle, a diamond, a circle, or the like, or may be an irregular carrier, such as a carrier having an irregular track shape. The icon formed by the bearing bodies of the at least two levels is a three-dimensional icon, and a user can observe different shapes of the three-dimensional icon at different observation angles. When the electronic equipment receives a starting instruction or an instruction for lightening a display screen, a three-dimensional icon corresponding to each application to be displayed on a display interface of the display screen, such as a desktop, is acquired.

Step 302: obtaining the display attribute of the icon identification;

here, the electronic device further includes an acquisition unit, and the acquisition unit may be a planar 2D or depth-of-field 3D camera. In this step, the method further comprises:

acquiring acquisition information through the acquisition unit, wherein the acquisition information is an observation position of an observer of the electronic equipment relative to the display screen of the electronic equipment; and determining the display attribute of the icon identification based on the acquired information. Wherein when the collected information represents that the viewing position of the observer of the electronic device relative to the display screen of the electronic device is a position perpendicular to the display screen, determining that the display belongs to a first display attribute; and when the collected information represents that the observation position of the observer of the electronic equipment relative to the display screen of the electronic equipment is a position inclined to the display screen, determining that the display belongs to a second display attribute.

Here, in consideration of the difference in image characteristics acquired by the acquisition unit when the observer observes in a position perpendicular to the display screen and when the observer observes in a position oblique to the display screen, such as the face image of the observer which is acquired closer to the entire face image of the observer when the observation position of the observer is perpendicular to the display screen and the face image which is acquired when the observation position of the observer is oblique to the display screen are partial face images of the observer; based on this, comparing the image features acquired at the two positions with the whole face image of the preset observer, and determining that the first position is a position (first observation position) where the observation position of the observer relative to the display screen is vertical to the display screen when the proportion of the acquired face image in the whole face image in the first position is not lower than, for example, not lower than 60% of a certain threshold value; when the ratio of the face image acquired in the second position to the entire face image is lower than a certain threshold value, for example, lower than 60%, the second position is determined as a position (second observation position) where the observer is inclined to the display screen with respect to the observation position of the display screen. Wherein the collected information is the collected image characteristics. Wherein, the threshold value can be flexibly set according to the actual situation.

Step 303: controlling the electronic device to display the icon identification composed of the at least two levels of bearers on the display screen based on the display attribute; when the display attribute is a first display attribute, displaying the icon identification with a first display effect; when the display attribute is a second display attribute, displaying the icon identification with a second display effect; the first display effect is different from the second display effect.

Wherein the first display effect is that a carrier at a first level of the at least two levels of carriers blocks a first portion of a carrier at a second level of the at least two levels of carriers and depth information between the carrier at the first level and the carrier at the second level is hidden due to a blocking relationship between the carrier at the first level and the carrier at the second level; the second display effect is that the first level carrier of the at least two levels of carriers blocks a second portion of the at least two levels of carriers at a second level of carriers and depth information between the first level carrier and the second level carrier appears due to a blocking relationship between the first level carrier and the second level carrier.

Due to the stereoscopic icons, the shapes of the stereoscopic icons seen by the observer are different when the observation positions are different. Fig. 4(a) to (j) are schematic views of different display shapes corresponding to the same three-dimensional icon. Taking an example that the icon identifier corresponding to the weather forecast application comprises three levels of bearing bodies, wherein the patterns on the first level of bearing bodies are raindrops, the patterns on the second level of bearing bodies are clouds, and the patterns on the third level of bearing bodies are the sun. When the display attribute of the corresponding icon identifier applied to the weather forecast is the first display attribute, that is, when the observer is at the first observation position, the shape of the stereoscopic icon displayed on the display screen is as shown in fig. 4(e), the raindrops shield a part of the area on the cloud, and the cloud shields most of the area of the sun, in which case the shape observed by the observer is equivalent to the superposition display of three patterns, and there is a distance between any two carriers actually, only because the distance between any two carriers is not reflected in fig. 4(e) due to the specificity of the position of the observer. When the display attribute of the icon logo corresponding to the weather forecast application is the second display attribute, that is, when the observer views the icon as shown in fig. 4(e) at the second viewing position, the angle at which the viewing position is inclined to the display screen is different, so that the shape of the stereoscopic icon viewed by the observer may be any one of fig. 4(a) to 4(d), 4(f) to 4 (i). That is, the angle at which the viewing position is inclined to the display screen is different, resulting in a difference in the shape of the stereoscopic icon seen by the viewer. Specifically, if the display screen is divided into 9 display regions of 3 rows and 3 columns, which are numbered as regions 1 to 9, as shown in fig. 4 (j). Assuming that the stereoscopic icon for the weather forecast application displayed on the display screen when the observer is in the first observation position, i.e., when the observation position of the observer is perpendicular to the area 5, is as shown in fig. 4(e), the shape of the icon displayed on the display screen when the observer observes the stereoscopic icon shown in 4(e) at a position standing in the area 4 is as shown in fig. 4 (d); when the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) is viewed from a position standing in the area 6, the shape of the icon displayed on the display screen is as shown in fig. 4 (f); as shown in fig. 4(d) and 4(f), there is a certain degree of shielding between every two adjacent patterns, and the depth existing between two adjacent carriers is revealed due to the existence of shielding, so that the stereoscopic effect is obvious. When the viewer views the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) at a position standing in the area 2, the shape of the icon displayed on the display screen is as shown in fig. 4 (h); when the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) is viewed from a position standing in the area 8, the shape of the icon displayed on the display screen is as shown in fig. 4 (b); as shown in fig. 4(h) and 4(b), there is a certain degree of shielding between every two adjacent patterns, and the depth existing between two adjacent carriers is shown due to the shielding, so that the stereoscopic effect is obvious. When the observer observes the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) at a position standing in the area 1, the shape of the icon displayed on the display screen is as shown in fig. 4 (g); when the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) is viewed from a position standing in the area 3, the shape of the icon displayed on the display screen is as shown in fig. 4 (i); from fig. 4(g) and 4(i), the depth existing between two adjacent carriers is shown due to the existence of the shielding, and the stereoscopic effect is obvious. When the viewer views the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) at a position standing in the area 7, the shape of the icon displayed on the display screen is as shown in fig. 4 (a); when the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) is viewed from a position standing in the area 9, the shape of the icon displayed on the display screen is as shown in fig. 4 (c); as shown in fig. 4(a) and 4(c), the depth existing between two adjacent carriers is shown due to the existence of the shielding, and the stereoscopic effect is obvious.

Therefore, in this embodiment, according to the display attribute of the icon identifier, the icon identifier including at least two levels of carriers is displayed, and when the icon identifier is displayed, the at least two levels of carriers exhibit a stereoscopic effect; the display of the three-dimensional icons is realized, and the problem that the display of the plane icons is monotonous is solved.

Method embodiment three

Fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an implementation of a display control method according to a third embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 5, the method includes:

step 501: obtaining an icon identification; the icon identification comprises at least two levels of carriers, and the at least two levels of carriers form the icon identification;

here, the icon identifier corresponds to a first application program, and the electronic device calls the first application program in response to a trigger for the icon identifier, for example, when a touch operation of the icon identifier by a user is detected, the first application program is called. The supporting body can be a supporting body with a certain regular shape, such as a rectangle, a diamond, a circle, and the like, or an irregular supporting body, such as a supporting body with an irregular track shape. The icon mark comprises any two bearing bodies, a certain distance exists between any two bearing bodies in space, namely certain depth information exists, the icon formed by the at least two bearing bodies in the hierarchy is a three-dimensional icon, and a user can observe different shapes of the three-dimensional icon at different observation angles. When the electronic equipment receives a starting instruction or an instruction for lightening a display screen, a three-dimensional icon corresponding to each application to be displayed on a display interface of the display screen, such as a desktop, is acquired.

Step 502: when the icon identification is displayed, the first plug-in program runs in the background;

here, the icon identifier corresponds to a first plug-in program, and the first plug-in program and a part of the first application program have the same functions, for example, the first plug-in program and the first application program can both perform application version and/or latest content synchronization with the first application program on the network side.

Step 503: obtaining display information based on the first plug-in program;

here, the first plug-in running in the background may implement the display content of the first application program by synchronizing the application version and/or the latest application content with the first application program on the network side; for example, when the first application program is a weather forecast application, the first plug-in program corresponding to the icon identifier of the application will go to a server on the network side to obtain the latest weather forecast information; when the first application program is the wechat application, the first plug-in program corresponding to the icon identification of the application goes to a server on the network side to obtain the latest version of the wechat application.

Here, the carrier has a graphic displayed thereon, which may represent a certain meaning, and the graphic may be updated accordingly according to the acquired display information to replace the graphic and its function.

For example, the weather forecast icon includes two levels of carriers, the two carriers are both rectangular, the graph on the first level of carrier 1 is a sun pattern a, and the graph on the second level of carrier 2 is a cloud pattern B; when the display screen is lit at time 1 on a certain day, the displayed weather forecast icon is as shown in fig. 6(a), the sun pattern a is displayed at the front, the cloud pattern B is displayed at the back, and it represents that the weather at time 1 is a clear-to-cloudy weather. When the display screen is lighted at the moment 2 and touch on the weather forecast icon is detected, the first plug-in program corresponding to the weather forecast icon goes to the network side to acquire the latest weather information so as to realize synchronization with the weather information on the network side, for example, the antenna information on the network side is updated from sunny to cloudy to rainy, the weather information to be updated is acquired through the first plug-in program, the graphs on the bearing body 1 and the bearing body 2 are correspondingly changed, the sun pattern A on the bearing body 1 is updated to be the cloud pattern B, the cloud pattern B on the bearing body 2 is updated to be the raindrop pattern C, and then the updated icon is obtained, and the updated icon is shown in (B) of fig. 6. In fig. 6(a) and (b), only the pattern information on the carrier is shown, and the shape of the carrier itself is not shown.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises: and transforming the shielding relation between the carriers of the at least two levels according to a preset rule. Furthermore, the ordering relationship between the bearers of the two levels can be transformed according to the display information obtained by the first plug-in program corresponding to the icon identifier. For example, the weather forecast icon includes two levels of carriers, the two carriers are both rectangular, the graph on the first level of carrier 1 is a sun pattern a, and the graph on the second level of carrier 2 is a cloud pattern B; when the display screen is lit at time 1 on a certain day, the displayed weather forecast icon is as shown in fig. 7(a), the sun pattern a is displayed at the front, the cloud pattern B is displayed at the back, and it represents that the weather at time 1 is a clear-to-cloudy weather. When the display screen is lighted at the time 2 and touch on the weather forecast icon is detected, the first plug-in program corresponding to the weather forecast icon goes to the network side to acquire the latest weather information so as to realize synchronization with the weather information on the network side, for example, the antenna information on the network side is updated from clear to cloudy to clear, the weather information to be updated is acquired through the first plug-in program, the front-back display relationship between the carrier 1 and the carrier 2 is exchanged, namely, the cloud pattern B on the carrier 2 is displayed in front, the sun pattern a on the carrier 1 is displayed in back, and then the updated icon is obtained, and the updated icon is shown in fig. 7 (B). In fig. 7(a) and (b), only the pattern information on the carrier is shown, and the shape of the carrier itself is not shown.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the icon identifier of the bearer including at least two levels is displayed, the display information is obtained through the first plug-in program corresponding to the icon identifier, and the graph of at least one bearer is updated according to the display information; the dynamic display of the three-dimensional icon is realized, and the problem that the display of the plane icon is monotonous is solved; and the displayed icon can be correspondingly updated according to the acquired display information, so that the identification and the dynamic property of the icon can be better embodied, the user experience is improved, and the functional diversity of the electronic equipment is improved.

Fig. 4(a) to (j) are schematic views of different display shapes corresponding to the same three-dimensional icon; taking an example that the icon identifier corresponding to the weather forecast application comprises three levels of bearing bodies, wherein the patterns on the first level of bearing bodies are raindrops, the patterns on the second level of bearing bodies are clouds, and the patterns on the third level of bearing bodies are the sun. When the electronic device, specifically the second obtaining unit 902 determines that the display attribute of the icon identifier corresponding to the weather forecast application is the first display attribute, that is, when the observer is at the first observation position, the shape of the stereoscopic icon displayed on the first display unit 903 is as shown in fig. 4(e), the raindrops block a partial region on the cloud, and the cloud blocks a large part of the sun, in which case the shape observed by the observer corresponds to the superposition display of three patterns, and there is a distance between any two carriers in reality, only because the specificity of the position of the observer makes the distance between any two carriers not be reflected in fig. 4 (e). When the electronic device, specifically, the second obtaining unit 902 determines that the display attribute of the icon identifier corresponding to the weather forecast application is the second display attribute, that is, when the observer is at the second observation position, when observing the icon as shown in fig. 4(e), since the observation position has different angles of being inclined to the display screen, the shape of the stereoscopic icon seen by the observer may be any one of fig. 4(a) -4 (d), and 4(f) -4 (i). That is, the angle at which the viewing position is inclined to the display screen is different, resulting in a difference in the shape of the stereoscopic icon seen by the viewer. Specifically, if the display screen is divided into 9 display regions of 3 rows and 3 columns, which are numbered as regions 1 to 9, as shown in fig. 4 (j). Assuming that the stereoscopic icon for the weather forecast application displayed by the first display unit 903 is as shown in fig. 4(e) when the observer is in the first observation position, that is, the observation position of the observer is perpendicular to the area 5, when the observer observes the stereoscopic icon shown in 4(e) in a position standing in the area 4, the icon displayed by the first display unit 903 is shaped as shown in fig. 4 (d); when the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) is viewed from a position standing in the area 6, the shape of the icon displayed by the first display unit 903 is as shown in fig. 4 (f); as shown in fig. 4(d) and 4(f), there is a certain degree of shielding between every two adjacent patterns, and the depth existing between two adjacent carriers is revealed due to the existence of shielding, so that the stereoscopic effect is obvious. When the viewer views the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) at a position standing in the area 2, the shape of the icon displayed by the first display unit 903 is as shown in fig. 4 (h); when the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) is viewed from a position standing in the area 8, the shape of the icon displayed by the first display unit 903 is as shown in fig. 4 (b); as shown in fig. 4(h) and 4(b), there is a certain degree of shielding between every two adjacent patterns, and the depth existing between two adjacent carriers is shown due to the shielding, so that the stereoscopic effect is obvious. When the observer observes the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) in a position standing in the area 1, the shape of the icon displayed by the first display unit 903 is as shown in fig. 4 (g); when the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) is viewed from a position standing in the area 3, the shape of the icon displayed by the first display unit 903 is as shown in fig. 4 (i); from fig. 4(g) and 4(i), the depth existing between two adjacent carriers is shown due to the existence of the shielding, and the stereoscopic effect is obvious. When the viewer views the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) at a position standing in the area 7, the shape of the icon displayed by the first display unit 903 is as shown in fig. 4 (a); when the stereoscopic icon shown in fig. 4(e) is viewed from a position standing in the area 9, the shape of the icon displayed by the first display unit 903 is as shown in fig. 4 (c); as shown in fig. 4(a) and 4(c), the depth existing between two adjacent carriers is shown due to the existence of the shielding, and the stereoscopic effect is obvious.
