The first end of the flexible screen is fixedly connected to the reel mechanism, the second end of the flexible screen is a free end, and the flexible screen can be unfolded or wound on the reel mechanism along with the rotation of the reel mechanism; in addition, the flexible screen comprises N subregions, and N is an integer greater than 1.

In fig. 1, the N sub-regions of the flexible screen are all in a fully expanded state. In practical application, however, the user can adjust the unfolding area of the flexible screen according to the requirement of the user.

In addition, it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a certain sub-region is in a completely unfolded state, which indicates that the sub-region is completely exposed outside the reel mechanism.

In particular, the terminal may be a Mobile phone, a Tablet personal Computer (Tablet personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), or the like.

The following describes a display method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a display method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the display method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

step 201, the terminal determines the sub-region in the complete expansion state in the N sub-regions.

In a specific implementation, the terminal may determine, in multiple ways, a sub-region in a complete expansion state in the N sub-regions, which is specifically described as follows:

in a first mode

Optionally, the determining the sub-region in the complete expansion state in the N sub-regions includes:

acquiring the unfolding length information of the flexible screen;

if the unfolding length of the flexible screen is greater than or equal to a first total length of K sub-regions from the second end of the flexible screen in the unfolding direction in the N sub-regions and is smaller than a second total length of K +1 sub-regions from the second end of the flexible screen in the N sub-regions in the unfolding direction, determining the K sub-regions as sub-regions in a complete unfolding state;

wherein K is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than N.

During specific implementation, the terminal can detect the contraction length of the flexible screen in the reel mechanism, and then the contraction length is subtracted from the total length of the flexible screen in the unfolding direction, so that the unfolding length of the flexible screen can be obtained. It should be understood, however, that embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the manner in which the mobile terminal obtains the information on the unfolded length of the flexible screen.

In the embodiment of the invention, the flexible screen comprises N sub-regions, so that the terminal can acquire the length of each sub-region in the N sub-regions in the unfolding direction in advance. In addition, the terminal may further obtain, in advance, a first total length of K sub-regions in the N sub-regions from the second end of the flexible screen in the unfolding direction, and a second total length of K +1 sub-regions in the N sub-regions from the second end of the flexible screen in the unfolding direction, where K is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than N.

In this way, after acquiring the unfolded length of the flexible screen, the terminal can compare the unfolded length with the first total length and the second total length respectively. If the unfolding length of the flexible screen is greater than or equal to a first total length of K sub-regions from the second end of the flexible screen in the unfolding direction in the N sub-regions and is less than a second total length of K +1 sub-regions from the second end of the flexible screen in the N sub-regions in the unfolding direction, it indicates that part or all of the K +1 sub-regions from the second end of the flexible screen in the N sub-regions are located in the reel mechanism, and the K sub-regions may be determined as sub-regions in a completely unfolded state.

This is illustrated in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1, sub-region a1 has a length S1; the length of subregion A2 is S2-S1; the length of the sub-region An is Sn-Sn-1. Assume that the spreading length acquired by the terminal is S.

Scene one: if S1 ≦ S < S2, it indicates that the deployed length S is greater than or equal to the first total length of the subregion A1 in the deployment direction and less than the second total length of the subregion A1 and subregion A2 in the deployment direction. Thus, it may be determined that some or all of sub-region A2 is located within the reel mechanism 10, and it will be appreciated that all of the N sub-regions, except sub-region A1 and sub-region A2, are located within the reel mechanism. As can be seen, in this scenario, sub-region a1 may be determined to be a sub-region in a fully expanded state.

Scene two: if S2 ≦ S < S3, it indicates that the deployed length S is greater than or equal to a first total length of the sub-region A1 and the sub-region A2 in the deployed direction and less than a second total length of the sub-region A1, the sub-region A2, and the sub-region A3 in the deployed direction. Thus, it can be determined that some or all of sub-region A3 is located within the reel mechanism 10, and it will be appreciated that all of the N sub-regions, except sub-region A1, sub-region A2 and sub-region A3, are located within the reel mechanism. As can be seen, in this scenario, sub-region a1 and sub-region a2 may be determined to be sub-regions in a fully deployed state.

And in a third scenario, if Sn-1 is less than or equal to S < Sn, the expansion length S is greater than or equal to a first total length of the sub-area A1, the sub-areas A2, … … and the sub-area An-1 in the expansion direction and is less than a second total length of the sub-area A1, the sub-areas A2, … … and the sub-area An in the expansion direction. Thus, it can be determined that part or all of the sub-area An is located within the reel mechanism 10. It can be seen that in this scenario, sub-region A1, sub-regions A2, … …, and sub-region An-1 can be determined to be sub-regions in a fully expanded state.

Scene four, if S ═ Sn, illustrates that the deployment length S is equal to the first total length of sub-region a1, sub-regions a2, … …, and sub-region An in the deployment direction. As can be seen, in this scenario, sub-region a1, sub-region a2, … …, and sub-region An may be determined to be sub-regions in a fully expanded state.

In the first mode, the N sub-regions of the flexible screen can be flexibly adjusted. During specific implementation, a user can adjust the size of each sub-area in each area of the N areas according to the requirement of the user.

Mode two

Optionally, a protrusion assembly is arranged at one end, close to the first end of the flexible screen, of each of the N sub-regions;

the determining the sub-region in the fully expanded state from among the N sub-regions includes:

acquiring the number S of convex components included in the unfolded part of the flexible screen;

determining S subregions from the second end of the flexible screen in the N subregions as subregions in a complete unfolding state;

wherein S is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N.

In this manner, the number of boss assemblies provided on the flexible screen is equal to N. In practical application, the terminal may be configured with a protrusion assembly at a boundary position between each of the N sub-regions, and a protrusion assembly is disposed at an end, close to the first end of the flexible screen, of a first region from the first end of the flexible screen, in the N sub-regions.

In particular implementations, the terminal can detect a first number of boss assemblies located within the reel mechanism. And then, subtracting the first number from the total number N of the convex components acquired in advance to obtain the number S of the convex components included by the unfolded part of the flexible screen. It should be understood, however, that embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereby to the manner in which the number S of boss assemblies included in the unrolled portion of the flexible screen is obtained.

In one embodiment, a counter may be provided at the reel mechanism. Wherein the count value of the counter may be used to characterize the number of boss assemblies included in the unrolled portion of the flexible screen. In this embodiment, the number S of boss members included in the unfolded portion of the flexible screen may be determined by the count value of the counter.

In specific implementation, the terminal can detect that one of the boss assemblies moves out of the reel mechanism, and the count value of the counter is + 1; in the event that movement of one of the boss assemblies into the reel mechanism is detected, the counter value of the counter is set to-1.

Furthermore, a spring plate assembly matched with the protruding assembly can be arranged on the reel mechanism, and the spring plate assembly is controlled to be in a second working state. When the elastic sheet component is in the second working state, the elastic sheet component can be contacted with the convex component to adjust the counting value of the counter, but can not abut against the convex component. Therefore, when the elastic sheet assembly is in the second working state, if the protrusion assembly moves out of or into the reel mechanism, the protrusion assembly can be in contact with the elastic sheet assembly. Therefore, in practical application, if the terminal detects that the protrusion assembly contacts the elastic sheet assembly and the scroll body of the scroll mechanism rotates along the direction (such as clockwise direction) for unfolding the flexible screen, it can be determined that the protrusion assembly moves out of the scroll mechanism, and the count value of the counter is + 1; if the terminal detects that the protrusion assembly contacts the elastic sheet assembly and the scroll body of the scroll mechanism rotates clockwise along the direction (such as anticlockwise direction) for winding the flexible screen, it can be determined that the protrusion assembly moves into the scroll mechanism, and the count value of the counter is-1.

Step 202, the terminal takes a region formed by the sub-regions in the complete expansion state in the N sub-regions as a target region, and takes the target region as a display region.

In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal takes the target area as the display area, namely, the target area can be used for displaying.

In scenario one of the above manner one, the target area is sub-area a1, and the flexible screen may be displayed by using sub-area a 1.

In the scenario two of the first manner, the target area is a1+ sub-area a2, and the flexible screen can be displayed by using the sub-area a1+ sub-area a 2.

In the first scenario, the target area is a1+ sub-area a2+ … … + An-1, and the flexible screen can be displayed by using a1+ sub-area a2+ … … + An-1.

In the scenario four of the first mode, the target area is a1+ sub-area a2+ … … + An, and the flexible screen can be displayed by using a1+ sub-area a2+ … … + An.

In the display method of the embodiment, the terminal comprises a scroll mechanism and a flexible screen; the first end of the flexible screen is fixedly connected to the reel mechanism, the second end of the flexible screen is a free end, the flexible screen can be unfolded or wound on the reel mechanism along with the rotation of the reel mechanism, the flexible screen comprises N sub-regions, and N is an integer greater than 1; determining a sub-region of the N sub-regions in a complete unfolding state; and taking a region formed by the sub-regions in the complete expansion state in the N sub-regions as a target region, and taking the target region as a display region. In this embodiment, because the terminal uses the area formed by the sub-areas in the complete expansion state in the N sub-areas as the target area, in the expansion process of the flexible screen, if the sub-area in the complete expansion state of the terminal is not changed, even if the expansion length of the flexible screen is changed, the display area of the flexible screen is not changed, so that compared with the prior art that the display area of the flexible screen is changed along with the change of the expansion area, the display effect of the flexible screen can be improved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal uses a region formed by sub-regions in a complete expansion state from among the N sub-regions as a target region, and uses the target region as a display region. As can be seen from the foregoing, there may exist a sub-area in the N sub-areas, which is in a partially unfolded state and does not belong to the display area of the flexible screen. Therefore, in order to reduce the occupied area of the unwinding part of the flexible screen, the terminal can wind the sub-area of the unwinding part, which does not belong to the display area, back into the reel mechanism.

For the first mode, the terminal may control the reel mechanism to rotate so as to wind up the flexible screen until the unwinding length of the flexible screen is equal to a first total length of K sub-regions in the unwinding direction from the second end of the flexible screen among the N sub-regions.

As for the second mode, optionally, the reel mechanism further includes a spring plate assembly matched with the protrusion assembly of the flexible screen;

after the region composed of the sub-regions in the complete expansion state in the N sub-regions is taken as the target region, the method further includes:

controlling a target convex assembly closest to the first end of the flexible screen in the convex assemblies in the sub-area in the complete unfolding state to be in a first working state, and controlling the elastic sheet assembly to be in the first working state;

rolling up the flexible screen by using the reel mechanism;

and in the process of furling the flexible screen, the elastic sheet assembly props against the target protrusion assembly.

In the present embodiment, when the protrusion assembly is in the first working state, the protrusion assembly protrudes out of the flexible screen; when the convex component is in the second working state, the convex component is sunken in the flexible screen. When the elastic sheet component is in a first working state, the elastic sheet component can prop against the projection component, so that the elastic sheet component cannot move into the scroll mechanism; when the elastic sheet component is in the second working state, the elastic sheet component can be contacted with the convex component so as to adjust the counting value of the counter, but can not abut against the convex component.

Therefore, the mobile terminal can control the target protrusion assembly to be in the first working state, and control the elastic sheet assembly to be in the first working state, so that the elastic sheet assembly abuts against the target protrusion assembly in the process of utilizing the reel mechanism to reel the flexible screen. In this way, the unrolled portion of the flexible screen will only include the display area, so that the footprint of the unrolled area of the flexible screen can be reduced.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may preset different resolutions for different target areas. In this application scenario, optionally, after the region formed by the sub-regions in the fully expanded state in the N sub-regions is taken as the target region, and before the target region is taken as the display region, the method further includes:

determining target resolution information corresponding to the target area;

the taking the target area as a display area comprises:

and taking the target area as a display area according to the target resolution information.

In implementation, when the display area is in the working state, the display resolution of the display area is matched with the target resolution information.

Which is exemplary, illustrated in fig. 1. The terminal can preset a corresponding resolution 1 for a target area formed by the sub-area a 1; presetting corresponding resolution 2 for a target area formed by the subarea A1 and the subarea A2; presetting corresponding resolution n-1 for a target region consisting of An A1+ subregion A2+ … … + An-1; the corresponding resolution n is preset for the target area formed by the A1+ subregion A2+ … … + An-1. If the target area is determined to be a1, the target resolution information may be further determined to be resolution 1, and the display content of the target area, such as an image, a video, etc., may be displayed at resolution 1.

It should be understood that the resolution corresponding to each of the different target regions can be flexibly adjusted.

Therefore, on the basis of adjusting the display area, the terminal can display the display content of the current display area according to the resolution ratio corresponding to the current display area, and the display effect of the flexible screen can be further improved.

It should be noted that, various optional implementations described in the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in combination with each other or implemented separately, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

In addition, the display method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a scene that the flexible screen stretches outwards from the reel mechanism, and can also be applied to a scene that the unfolding area of the flexible screen shrinks inwards from the reel mechanism.

For ease of understanding, the following are illustrated:

1. the terminal may divide the flexible screen into n segments (each segment is not required for actual distance) as shown in fig. 1, i.e. into n sub-regions.

2. When the stretching position S (equivalent to the unfolding length S) is between S1 and S2 (S1 is not more than S < S2) in the process that the terminal controls the flexible screen to stretch outwards from the reel mechanism, the display area of the screen is a sub-area A1, and the sub-area A1 corresponds to a fixed resolution.

Further, when the hands are released in this area, the flexible screen may be retracted to the position of S1.

In a specific implementation, a hardware elastic sheet device (equivalent to the elastic sheet assembly) may be disposed at an exit position of the reel mechanism, and a hardware protrusion (equivalent to the protrusion assembly) may be disposed at a node position of each sub-region on the flexible screen (equivalent to an end of each sub-region close to the first end of the flexible screen). When the roller (corresponding to the roller body) in the roller mechanism is detected to rotate clockwise (the clockwise is assumed to represent the stretching action), the counter S (the flexible screen is completely retracted to default S to 0) counts and adds one every time when passing through one node, namely S to S + 1; and conversely, the roller rotates anticlockwise, and the counting is reduced by one every time when the roller passes through one node, namely S-1. When S is 1, it is determined that the current flexible screen is between S1 and S2. When S-n-1, it is between Sn-1 and Sn.

The roller has a force to retract back similar to the tape itself, and the flexible screen will automatically retract back if there is no outward pulling force. Mention earlier and to have a hardware shell fragment device at spool exit position, can oppress when stretching outward and bounce back and only play the counting action and can not block, can block in the node position during shrink, only press the shrink button on the spool, the shell fragment can be withdrawed, just can not receive the node restriction during shrink.

3. When the stretching position is between S2 and S3 (S2 ≦ S < S3), the image automatically switches to the A1+ A2 region where all displays are at another fixed resolution. When stretched in this area, the flexible screen will contract to the position S2 when the hand is released.

4. And the like, when the stretching position S is between Sn-1 and Sn (Sn-1 is less than or equal to S < Sn). The image automatically switches to the a1+ a2+. + An-1 area, and after the hand is loosened, the screen is retracted to the Sn-1 position.

5. When stretched to the Sn position, the entire display area is A1+ A2+ … … + An.

6. When the screen is contracted, the image is automatically switched to An A1+ A2+ · An-1 area when the contraction position S is between Sn-1 and Sn (Sn-1 is less than or equal to S < Sn), and the screen is contracted to the Sn-1 position after hands are loosened.

The embodiment of the invention has the following beneficial effects:

the problem of the flexible screen in the display of stretching with shrink in-process image is solved, upper application and resolution ratio also only need the several sizes that the adaptation corresponds just can, and whole in-process image can both be displayed completely and smoothly switch along with the position difference of stretching with the shrink in addition, bring fine user experience.
