The menu display method according to the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a terminal, and is illustrated with reference to fig. 1 and 2, which show a block diagram of a terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The terminal 100 may be provided with a front panel, and the front panel includes a display area and a non-display area. The terminals may include cell phones, tablet computers, laptops, smart watches, digital cameras, MP4 play terminals, MP5 play terminals, learning machines, point-to-read machines, electronic books, electronic dictionaries, or vehicle terminals, among others. The terminal 100 of the present application may include one or more of the following components: a processor 110, a memory 120, and a touch display 130.

Processor 110 may include one or more processing cores. The processor 110 connects various parts within the overall terminal 100 using various interfaces and lines, performs various functions of the terminal 100 and processes data by executing or executing instructions, programs, code sets, or instruction sets stored in the memory 120, and invoking data stored in the memory 120. Alternatively, the processor 110 may be implemented in hardware in at least one of digital signal processing (Digital Signal Processing, DSP), field programmable gate array (Field-Programmable Gate Array, FPGA), programmable logic array (Programmable Logic Array, PLA). The processor 110 may integrate one or a combination of several of a central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU), an image processor (Graphics Processing Unit, GPU), and a modem, etc. The CPU mainly processes an operating system, a user interface, an application program and the like; the GPU is responsible for rendering and drawing the content required to be displayed by the touch display screen 130; the modem is used to handle wireless communications. It will be appreciated that the modem may not be integrated into the processor 110 and may be implemented by a single chip.

The Memory 120 may include a random access Memory (Random Access Memory, RAM) or a Read-Only Memory (Read-Only Memory). Optionally, the memory 120 includes a non-transitory computer readable medium (non-transitory computer-readable storage medium). Memory 120 may be used to store instructions, programs, code, sets of codes, or sets of instructions. The memory 120 may include a stored program area and a stored data area, wherein the stored program area may store instructions for implementing an operating system, instructions for at least one function (such as a touch function, a sound playing function, an image playing function, etc.), instructions for implementing the various method embodiments described below, etc.; the storage data area may store data (e.g., audio data, phonebook) created according to the use of the terminal 100, etc.

Taking an Android (Android) system as an example, programs and data stored in the memory 120 are shown in fig. 1, and a Linux kernel layer 220, a system runtime layer 240, an application framework layer 260 and an application layer 280 are stored in the memory 120. Linux kernel layer 220 provides the underlying drivers for the various hardware of terminal 100, such as display drivers, audio drivers, camera drivers, bluetooth drivers, wi-Fi drivers, power management, and the like. The system runtime layer 240 provides the main feature support for the Android system through some C/c++ libraries. For example, the SQLite library provides support for databases, the OpenGL/ES library provides support for 3D graphics, the Webkit library provides support for browser kernels, and the like. Also provided in the system Runtime layer 240 is an Android Runtime library 242 (Android run) that provides mainly some core libraries that can allow developers to write Android applications using the Java language. The application framework layer 260 provides various APIs that may be used in building applications, which developers can also build their own applications by using, for example, campaign management, window management, view management, notification management, content provider, package management, call management, resource management, location management. At least one application program is running in the application layer 280, and these application programs may be a contact program, a short message program, a clock program, a camera application, etc. that are carried by the operating system; or may be an application developed by a third party developer, such as an instant messaging program, a photo beautification program, etc.

Taking an operating system as an IOS system as an example, the programs and data stored in the memory 120 are shown in fig. 2, the IOS system includes: core operating system layer 320 (Core OS layer), core services layer 340 (Core Services layer), media layer 360 (Media layer), and touchable layer 380 (Cocoa Touch Layer). The core operating system layer 320 includes an operating system kernel, drivers, and underlying program frameworks that provide more hardware-like functionality for use by the program frameworks at the core services layer 340. The core services layer 340 provides system services and/or program frameworks required by an application, such as a Foundation (Foundation) framework, an account framework, an advertisement framework, a data storage framework, a network connection framework, a geographic location framework, a sports framework, and the like. The media layer 360 provides an interface for applications related to audiovisual aspects such as a graphics image related interface, an audio technology related interface, a video technology related interface, an audio video transmission technology wireless play (AirPlay) interface, and the like. The touchable layer 380 provides various commonly used interface-related frameworks for application development, the touchable layer 380 being responsible for touch interactions by the user on the terminal 100. Such as a local notification service, a remote push service, an advertisement framework, a game tool framework, a message User Interface (UI) framework, a User Interface UIKit framework, a map framework, and so forth.

Among the frameworks illustrated in fig. 2, frameworks related to most applications include, but are not limited to: the infrastructure in core services layer 340 and the UIKit framework in touchable layer 380. The infrastructure provides many basic object classes and data types, providing the most basic system services for all applications, independent of the UI. While the class provided by the UIKit framework is a basic UI class library for creating touch-based user interfaces, iOS applications can provide UIs based on the UIKit framework, so it provides the infrastructure for applications to build user interfaces, draw, process and user interaction events, respond to gestures, and so on.

The touch display screen 130 is used to receive a touch operation of a user on or near any suitable object using a finger, a stylus, or the like, and to display a user interface of each application program. The touch display screen 130 is typically disposed at a front panel of the terminal 130. Touch display screen 130 may be designed as a screen-in-screen aperture screen. The touch display screen 130 may also be designed as a combination of a screen-in-screen hole screen and a curved screen, and the combination of a screen-in-screen hole screen and a full screen is not limited in this embodiment. Wherein:

screen with holes in screen

The appearance shape of the screen with holes in the screen is a touch display screen with a regular shape, and the regular shape is a rectangle or a round corner rectangle. The screen-in-screen is provided in a front panel of the terminal, and the touch display screen is divided into a display area and a non-display area. The display area and the non-display area in the touch display screen are projections of the display area and the non-display area of the front panel on the touch display screen, respectively. Wherein the non-display area may be an area created by hole digging, and the display area may be used to display an image. Alternatively, a screen-in-screen aperture screen refers to a screen design with a cutout provided in the rectangular or rounded rectangular touch display 130. Alternatively, the cutout may be located at the edge of the touch display screen 130, at the center of the screen, or both. When the hole is arranged on one edge, the hole can be arranged at the middle position or two ends of the edge; when the hole is provided in the center of the screen, it may be provided in one or more of an upper region, an upper left region, a left side region, a lower left region, a lower right region, a right side region, and an upper right region of the screen. When the holes are arranged in a plurality of areas, the holes can be distributed in a concentrated mode or in a dispersed mode; may be symmetrically distributed or asymmetrically distributed. Alternatively, the number of the holes is not limited.

The in-screen hole screen also has a larger screen duty ratio because the in-screen hole screen covers the upper and/or lower forehead areas of the touch display screen as displayable and/or operable areas so that the touch display screen occupies more space on the front panel of the terminal. In some embodiments, the cutout is configured to receive at least one front panel assembly comprising at least one of a camera, a fingerprint sensor, a proximity light sensor, a distance sensor, a headset, an ambient light level sensor, and a physical key.

By way of example, the hole may be provided on one or more edges, the hole may be a circular hole, a semicircular hole, a rectangular hole at right angles, a rectangular hole at rounded corners, an irregularly shaped hole, or the like. In the example shown in fig. 3, the special-shaped screen may be a screen design with a rounded rectangular hole 45 at the center of the lower edge of the touch display screen 130, where the rounded rectangular hole may be used to accommodate physical keys or fingerprint recognition modules; in the illustrative example shown in fig. 4, the in-screen aperture screen may be a screen design with at least one circular aperture 46 in the upper half of the touch display screen 130, the circular aperture 46 being positioned to receive at least one front panel component of a camera, a distance sensor, an earpiece, an ambient light level sensor. Optionally, the touch display screen 130 is a display area where the round hole 46 or the round rectangular hole is located, and the area where the round rectangular hole is located is a non-display area, and the area 45 is a closed area and is contained in the touch display screen 130.

In addition, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the structure of the terminal 100 illustrated in the above-described figures does not constitute a limitation of the terminal 100, and the terminal may include more or less components than illustrated, or may combine certain components, or may have a different arrangement of components. For example, the terminal 100 further includes components such as a radio frequency circuit, an input unit, a sensor, an audio circuit, a wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, wiFi) module, a power supply, and a bluetooth module, which are not described herein.

Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart of a menu display method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The menu display method can be applied to the terminal shown above. In fig. 5, the method for displaying a menu includes:

step 510, receiving a first instruction, wherein the first instruction is an instruction generated when the terminal receives an operation for the front panel.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal receives the first instruction after generating the first instruction. In one possible implementation scenario, the embodiment of the present application is applied when the terminal is in an unlocked and bright screen state, in which state the terminal can determine whether an operation is received according to a sensor in the front panel. When the front panel receives the operation, the terminal receives the first instruction generated according to the operation.

In another possible implementation scenario, the embodiment of the application is applied when the terminal is in a screen locking and blacking state or a screen locking and lightening state. In this state, the terminal may at least take the following (1) scheme or (2) scheme. (1) When detecting the operation of the user on the front panel, the terminal will receive the first instruction. (2) When the screen is locked and the screen is not locked or is in a bright screen state, the terminal can detect whether the fingerprint information of the user accords with the unlocking condition through the fingerprint sensor integrated in the non-display area, and when the terminal detects that the fingerprint information of the user accords with the unlocking condition, the terminal receives the first instruction.

Alternatively, when the operation for the front panel includes a sliding operation, a sliding start point of the sliding operation is located in the non-display area, and a sliding end point of the sliding operation is located in the display area.

Alternatively, the sliding locus of the sliding operation is directed toward the center of the front panel.

For example, the non-display area is at a designated area of the edge of the terminal screen, and the slide trajectory of the slide operation may be set to be directed toward the center of the front panel. Because the display track of the sliding track pointing to the center of the front panel is single, the terminal can be prevented from determining the unintentional touch operation of the user sliding from the non-display area as the active behavior of the user.

Step 520, determining the region where the first instruction acts.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can determine the area acted by the first instruction. The area acted by the first instruction may be a display area in the front panel or a non-display area in the front panel. The display area is an area capable of displaying an image, and the non-display area is an area incapable of displaying an image.

Alternatively, the terminal may also determine the type of the first instruction when the area where the first instruction acts includes a non-display area.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal detects the area acted by the first instruction.

In one possible detection manner, the terminal is provided with at least one sensor capable of recognizing a touch operation by a user, among a pressure sensor, a fingerprint sensor, an ambient light level sensor, and a temperature sensor, in a non-display area. When the at least one sensor receives a first instruction generated by an operation, the area acted by the first instruction comprises a non-display area.

In another possible detection mode, the terminal detects whether the first instruction acts on the non-display area through the touch screen part on the boundary line between the non-display area and the display area. When the touch operation passes through the above-described dividing line, it is determined that the area where the touch operation is applied includes a non-display area, that is, the area where the first instruction is applied includes the non-display area. In one possible implementation manner, taking an example that the type of the first instruction includes a sliding instruction type, when the touch screen detects that a sliding track corresponding to the sliding instruction starts from the dividing line and ends in the display area, the terminal determines that the area acted by the first instruction includes a non-display area. Optionally, when the sliding track corresponding to the sliding type instruction starts from the display area and ends at the dividing line, the terminal determines that the area acted by the first instruction includes a non-display area.

In one possible implementation, the terminal may perform step 530 when the type of the first instruction is a preset type.

In step 530, when the area acted by the first instruction includes a non-display area, a menu corresponding to the first instruction is displayed in the display area.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can execute the display method of the menu by independently starting a system service, a system process or a system application. Alternatively, the terminal may execute the menu display method according to the embodiment of the present application by using a system service, a system process or a system application together with other functions.

The terminal can determine the type of the first instruction through the system service, the system process or the system application, wherein the type of the first instruction can be a touch type, such as at least one of a sliding instruction type, a click instruction type, a long press instruction type, a heavy press instruction type and a light press instruction type. The terminal matches the type of the first instruction with a preset type of the terminal, and when the type of the first instruction is matched with the preset type of the terminal, the terminal displays a menu corresponding to the first instruction in the display area.

Alternatively, the presentation animation of the menu may be matched with the first instruction. For example, when the first instruction is a long press type instruction, the menu may pop-up and display a sector area menu or a rectangular area menu by taking the non-display area as a circle. For another example, when the first instruction is a slide type instruction, the presentation animation of the menu may be pulled out with the slide direction. For example, if the sliding direction of the sliding type instruction is to slide from the center of the non-display area to the center of the front panel, the menu of the terminal will be spread from the center of the non-display area to the center of the front panel along the sliding direction.

Further, when the non-display area is an area located above the screen of the terminal, the operation for the front panel includes a slide operation, and when the slide operation is a pull-down slide operation, the terminal will display a menu corresponding to the first instruction in the display area.

Alternatively, when the area where the first instruction is applied includes a display area and a non-display area, the terminal determines a timing at which the first instruction starts to be applied to the non-display area, and a timing at which the first instruction starts to be applied to the display area.

When the first instruction starts to act on the non-display area earlier than the first instruction starts to act on the display area, the type of the first instruction is determined.

In one possible implementation scenario, the first instruction may be a slide operation instruction to slide from the non-display area to the display area; the first instruction may be a click operation instruction that clicks in the non-display area and then clicks in the display area.

In summary, in the method for displaying a menu provided in this embodiment, the front panel of the applied terminal includes a display area and a non-display area, and since the non-display area is included in the display area, the display area can expand the forehead area and the forehead area including the front panel, so as to increase the screen ratio of the terminal. Therefore, the embodiment of the application expands the function of the non-display area contained in the display area and improves the display efficiency of the menu on the premise of improving the screen occupation ratio of the terminal.

Based on the menu display method shown in the previous embodiment, the terminal can also display the function control in the menu, and directly execute an association operation after the function control is triggered, where the association operation includes starting the target application and executing the function corresponding to the function control, please refer to the following embodiment.

Referring to fig. 6, a flowchart of a method for displaying a menu according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The menu display method may be applied to the terminal shown in fig. 1, 2, 3 or 4. In fig. 6, the method for displaying the menu includes:

step 601, receiving a first instruction, wherein the first instruction is an instruction generated when the terminal receives an operation for the front panel.

In the embodiment of the present application, the execution process of step 601 is the same as the execution process of step 510, and will not be repeated here.

In step 602, when the area acted on by the first instruction includes a non-display area, a type of the first instruction is determined.

In the embodiment of the present application, the execution of step 602 is the same as the execution of step 520, and will not be described here again.

And step 603, when the type of the first instruction is a preset type, displaying a menu corresponding to the first instruction in the display area.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can set the preset type according to the position of the non-display area. In one possible manner, the terminal may set the preset type as a type in which the sliding track is directed toward the center of the front panel. In this implementation, the terminal may place the non-display area at any specified location in the screen, for example, any location near the edge of the screen.

In another possible manner, the terminal may set the non-display area at an upper area of the screen of the terminal, which refers to an area above a horizontal median line of the screen. Such as at the center, left or right corner, etc., in the area above the screen. In this scenario, the preset type set in the terminal is a sliding operation with a sliding track downward.

And step 604, displaying the function control in the menu corresponding to the first instruction.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal can display the function control in the menu corresponding to the first instruction.

In one possible implementation manner, the terminal can provide a setting function of a menu corresponding to the first instruction in the setting interface. The user can set the contents displayed in the menu in the setting interface. If only one functional control corresponding to the target application can be displayed in the menu, the target application can be designated by the user in the setting interface.

Referring to fig. 7, a schematic diagram of a user interface for setting a target application is shown based on the embodiment shown in fig. 6. In the user interface 71, the user can click the function switch 711. When the function switch 711 is in an on state, the terminal provides a target application selection entry 712, and after the user clicks on the target application selection entry 712, the terminal presents the target application selection list 72. The terminal presents candidate applications capable of displaying the functionality control in the target application selection list 72, for example, six candidate applications of the a application 721, the B application 722, the C application 723, the D application 724, the E application 725, and the F application 726 are displayed in the target application selection list 72.

Optionally, a number of selection controls for the target application may also be displayed in the user interface 71, such as a single application selection control 73a, two application selection controls 73b, and three application selection controls 73c. The setting method provided in this embodiment may further provide more than three application selection controls, where only a single application selection control 73a, two application selection controls 73b, and three application selection controls 73c are described as examples, and the number of target applications that can be displayed in the menu is not limited.

In one possible implementation, the terminal can also display a single application selection control 73a, two application selection controls 73b, and three application selection controls 73c directly after the function switch 711 is turned on, and when any of the three selection controls is selected, the terminal will expand the display target application selection list 72 so that the user selects one target application, two target applications, or three target applications. When the number of target applications selected by the user reaches the number corresponding to the selection control, the terminal will automatically collapse the target application selection list 72.

It should be noted that, the function control displayed in the menu corresponding to the first instruction can also be directly adjusted in the desktop.

Referring to fig. 8, a schematic diagram of a user interface for setting a target application is shown based on the embodiment shown in fig. 6. The user interface 81 is a desktop, and when the user holds the start icon 810 of the long press G application, the start icon 810 can be dragged to a designated position. At this point, the present application provides at least two ways to determine the G application as a new target application.

In a first manner, please refer to fig. 9, which is a schematic diagram of a setup target application provided based on the embodiment shown in fig. 6. In fig. 9, when the start icon 810 is dragged to the circular hole 46, if the number of target applications at this time is one, the target application is directly replaced with a G application. In the actual execution process, when the start icon 810 is dragged to intersect with the circular hole 46, the terminal displays a menu 820, and the function control corresponding to the current target application displayed in the menu 820 is still in a state of continuously pressing the screen by the finger of the user. When the user releases his finger, the G-application will become the new target application. At the same time, new functionality controls will be displayed in menu 820. If the functional controls originally displayed in the menu are the control a1, the control a2 and the control a3 corresponding to the original target application, after the target application is replaced by the G application, the functional controls displayed in the menu are replaced by the control b1, the control b2, the control b3 and the control b4 corresponding to the G application. Alternatively, the menu 820 may disappear after the controls b1, b2, b3, and b4 are displayed for 3 seconds (a predetermined period of time).

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the location 830 may continue to display the start icon 810 (not shown in the figure) of the G application. The start icon 810 may also be no longer displayed in position 830 as in fig. 9.

Alternatively, a launch icon representing the original target application on an animation may present an animation effect in the form of bubble collapse, indicating that the original target application has been replaced with a new G application.

In a second manner, please refer to fig. 10, which is a schematic diagram of another setup target application provided based on the embodiment shown in fig. 6. In fig. 10, the number of target applications is at least two. Taking two as an illustration, when the start icon 810 is dragged to the circular hole 46, the terminal will display the a application 721 and the B application 722 at specified positions around the circular hole 46, respectively. For example, when the start icon 810 and the circular hole 46 are tangent or intersect, the terminal will display the A application 721 and the B application 722, respectively, at designated locations around the circular hole 46. Note that, the a application 721 and the B application 722 are original target applications. When the user wishes to replace the A application 721, the user may drag the start icon 810 to the location of the A application 721 and loosen his hand. Alternatively, when the user wishes to replace the B application 722, the user may drag the launch icon 810 to the location of the B application 722 and loosen his hand.

When the user releases his finger, the G application will replace the B application as a new target application. At the same time, new functionality controls will be displayed in menu 820. If the functional controls originally displayed in the menu are the controls a1, a2, a3, b1, b2 and b3 corresponding to the original target application, after the target application is replaced by the G application, the functional controls displayed in the menu are the controls a1, a2, a3, G1 and G2. Alternatively, the menu 820 may disappear after the controls a1, a2, a3, g1, and g2 are displayed for 3 seconds (predetermined time period).

Step 605, when the functionality control is triggered by the second instruction, the specified functionality in the target application is invoked.

It should be noted that, the terminal may replace step 605 by executing step 6051 or step 6052 to implement the function of calling the specified service in the target application when the function control is triggered by the second instruction.

Step 6051, call the specified service in the target application.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can call the specified service in the target application, and the specified service is at least one service which can be provided in the target application. For example, the specified service may be at least one of a code scanning service, a start/stop recording service, a new memo service, a microblog/blog-like information service, a play/pause/stop/switch to last/switch to next song service, a song-listening and song-identifying service, a taxi taking service, a cell phone recharging service, an air ticket booking service, an express-checking service, or a map navigation service. Optionally, the specified service is a specified service in the target application.

According to the embodiment of the application, when the area acted by the first instruction is identified to comprise the non-display area, the menu corresponding to the first instruction can be displayed, and the function control corresponding to the target application is displayed in the first menu. When the function control is clicked, the terminal directly invokes the appointed service in the target application, so that the terminal can identify the first instruction acting on the non-display area on the premise of improving the screen occupation ratio, and directly display the function control corresponding to the target application in the menu, so that the function control in the target application can be displayed without opening the target application, the function of expanding the non-display area in the high-screen occupation ratio mobile phone is realized, and the efficiency of invoking the appointed service in the target application is improved.

Step 6052, open the designated page in the target application.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can also open the designated page in the target application.

In one possible implementation, the terminal will launch the target application and jump directly into the designated page. The specified page is used for displaying the specified content in the target application. Such as a personal home page of the blog application, a message page of the blog application, a discovery page of the blog application, or a top page of the blog page.

In another possible implementation, the terminal will call the specified service in the target application while opening the specified page in the target application. For example, when the target application comprises a camera application, the functionality controls include: the system comprises at least one functional control selected from a photo functional control, a self-timer functional control, a camera shooting functional control, a time-delay camera shooting functional control, a slow motion mode functional control, a portrait mode functional control, a panoramic mode functional control, a professional mode functional control, a large aperture mode functional control and a dynamic photo mode functional control. When any one of the functional controls is triggered, the terminal jumps to a shooting page of the camera application and invokes a specified service corresponding to the functional control.

Referring to fig. 11, a schematic diagram of a specific function in a calling target application is shown based on the embodiment shown in fig. 6. In fig. 11, when the user presses the round hole 46 in the user interface 91 and slides toward the inside of the screen, a menu 92 corresponding to a slide instruction (first instruction) will be presented in the user interface 91, the target application being a camera application in this example. In the menu 92, a photo function control 921, a self-timer function control 922, a camera function control 923, a video function control 924, a time-lapse camera function control 925, a slow-motion mode function control 926, a portrait mode function control 927, a panorama mode function control 928, a sticker function control 929, a professional mode function control 92A, a large aperture mode function control 92B, and a dynamic photo mode function control 92C are displayed. When the user clicks the self-timer function control 922, the terminal directly starts the camera application and enters the self-timer mode.

In summary, the method for displaying a menu according to the present embodiment can enable the terminal to increase the screen occupation ratio by setting the non-display area to be included in the display area. And on the premise that the terminal has higher screen occupation ratio, the function of the non-display area is expanded. Therefore, the method and the device can start the appointed function in the target application conveniently in the screen mesoporous mobile phone with higher screen occupation, or open the appointed page in the target application, and improve the efficiency of directly opening the appointed function in the target application by the user.
