Description

Control method of electronic equipment with folding screen and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the field of electronic equipment, in particular to a control method of electronic equipment with a folding screen and the electronic equipment.

Background

With the continuous development of communication technology, electronic devices such as mobile phones have become an indispensable part of people's daily life. The user can communicate with other users by using the mobile phone, and can browse or process various information. In the using process, for the interested contents displayed by the mobile phone, such as the user interested in some characters and pictures, the screen capture function of the mobile phone is usually used, and the interested contents are stored in the form of screen capture for the convenience of subsequent use.

Currently, a user may operate a function combination key (e.g., a combination of a volume "+" key and a switch key) or a system-level button of a mobile phone, and may also operate the function combination key by a finger joint gesture to trigger a screen capture of the mobile phone, that is, to store the content displayed on the current display screen in the form of a screenshot. However, the function combination key is troublesome to operate, requires two hands to operate, and has a high demand for accuracy of timing for pressing the key. The system level button can be called out only by needing more operation steps, and the operation steps are complicated. The success rate of triggering screen capture by finger joint gestures is low. That is to say, the current screen capture mode is troublesome for the user to operate, or the success rate is low, resulting in low human-computer interaction efficiency. The same problem exists with split screens.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or illustrations.

The embodiment of the application provides a control method of an electronic device with a folding screen, and the method can be applied to the electronic device with the folding screen. In the embodiment of the present application, an electronic device including a folding screen may be referred to as a folding screen electronic device. The folding screen is a display screen and has the characteristic of being foldable. The user can execute the folding operation on the folding screen to trigger the electronic equipment to execute the corresponding event. For example, in some embodiments, in response to a fold operation, the electronic device performs a screen capture function that saves the content currently displayed by the electronic device in a screenshot. For another example, in some embodiments, in response to the folding operation, the electronic device performs a split screen function, i.e., the folding screen of the electronic device is divided into two or more display areas, and different interfaces are displayed in the different display areas. Therefore, the human-computer interaction efficiency can be improved, and the use experience of a user is improved.

For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the folding screen may be a flexible folding screen. The flexible folded screen may be folded along the folded edge to form a plurality (two or more) of screens.

For example, the flexible folding screen shown in fig. 1 (a) may be folded along a folding edge to form the a-screen 101 and the B-screen 102 shown in fig. 1 (B), and for example, the flexible folding screen shown in fig. 2 (a) may be folded along a folding edge to form the a-screen 201, the B-screen 202, and the C-screen 203 shown in fig. 2 (B), wherein (a) in fig. 1 and (a) in fig. 2 are schematic diagrams of the flexible folding screen when it is not folded, (B) in fig. 1 and (B) in fig. 2 are schematic diagrams of the flexible folding screen when it is folded (half-folded), (C) in fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the flexible folding screen when it is completely folded, (C) in fig. 2 is a diagram of the flexible folding screen when it is completely folded, an angle α between the a-screen and the B-screen is 0 °, an angle 362 ° in fig. 2, and the flexible folding screen may also be completely folded, (α) and α are both angles, or (α) is an angle of 360 °.

In the case where the folded screen is not folded, the angle between the adjacent screens is 180 °. for example, the angle α between the a screen 101 and the B screen 102 shown in (a) in fig. 1 is 180 °. also, for example, the angle α 1 between the a screen 201 and the B screen 202 shown in (a) in fig. 2 is 180 °, and the angle α 2 between the B screen 202 and the C screen 203 is 180 °. after the folded screen is folded, the angle between the adjacent screens may take a range of [0 °, 180 °).e. the angle α ∈ (0 °, 180 °) between the a screen 101 and the B screen 102 shown in (B) in fig. 1, the angle α 1 ∈ (0 °, 180 °) between the a screen 201 and the B screen 202 shown in (B) in fig. 2, and the angle α 2 ∈ (0 °, 180 °) between the B screen 202 and the C screen 203.

In other embodiments of the present application, the folding screen may be a multi-screen folding screen. The multi-screen folding screen may include a plurality (two or more) of screens. The plurality of screens may be connected in turn by a folding shaft. Each screen can rotate around a folding shaft connected with the screen, and folding of the multi-screen folding screen is achieved.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 3, the multi-screen folding screen includes two screens, which are referred to as an a-screen 301 and a B-screen 302, respectively. The A screen 301 and the B screen 302 are connected through a folding shaft, and the A screen 301 and the B screen 302 can rotate around the folding shaft, so that folding of the multi-screen folding screen is achieved. For example, when the a-screen 301 and/or the B-screen 302 are rotated about the folding axis, a multi-screen folding screen shown in (B) of fig. 3 and a multi-screen folding screen shown in (c) of fig. 3 can be formed. Fig. 3 (a) is a schematic diagram of a multi-screen folding screen when the multi-screen folding screen is not folded. Fig. 3 (b) is a schematic diagram of a configuration of the multi-panel folding screen after being half-folded. Fig. 3 (c) is a schematic diagram of the multi-screen folding screen after being completely folded. The multi-screen foldable screen may also include three or more screens, and the specific form and the folding manner thereof can refer to fig. 2 and the related description, which are not repeated herein.

In the case where the folded screen is not folded, the angle α between the a screen 301 and the B screen 302 shown in (a) of fig. 3 is 180 °. when the folded screen is folded, the angle between adjacent screens may be in the range of [0 °, 180 °), for example, the angle α e (0 °, 180 °) between the a screen 301 and the B screen 302 shown in (B) of fig. 3, and the angle α between the a screen 301 and the B screen 302 shown in (c) of fig. 3 is 0 °.

In the above fig. 1-fig. 3, the folding screen of the electronic device is folded longitudinally to achieve the folding of the folding screen. Of course, the folding screen of the electronic device can also be folded transversely to realize the folding of the folding screen. For example, the folding screen is taken as a flexible folding screen. The flexible folding screen shown in fig. 4 (a) is folded along the folding edge, and during the folding process, the a screen and the B screen shown in fig. 4 (B), (c), and (d) may be formed in sequence.

In addition, the above-mentioned fig. 1-4 are schematic diagrams of the angle between the adjacent panels of the folded screen being [0 °, 180 ° ], of course, the angle between the adjacent panels of the folded screen may also be (180 °, 360 ° ], for example, taking the flexible folded screen shown in fig. 1 as an example, the a screen 101 and the B screen 102 shown in fig. 5 (a) and (B) can be formed by folding the flexible folded screen shown in fig. 1 (a) along the folding edge, the angle α between the a screen 101 and the B screen 102 shown in fig. 5 (a) is 360 °. the angle α between the a screen 101 and the B screen 102 shown in fig. 5 (B) is (180 °, 360 °).

For example, the electronic device described in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a cellular phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an Augmented Reality (AR) \ Virtual Reality (VR) device, a media player, and other devices including a folding screen, and the embodiment of the present application does not particularly limit the specific form of the device.

The methods in the following embodiments may be implemented in an electronic device having the above hardware structure.

The method for controlling the electronic device with the foldable screen provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the electronic device shown in any one of fig. 1 to 5. In conjunction with fig. 1-5 described above, it can be appreciated that in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device is a folding screen electronic device that includes at least a first screen and a second screen. The first screen and the second screen may be two screens formed by folding the flexible folding screen along the folding edge, or two screens included in the multi-screen folding screen. And the electronic device comprises screens each provided with a sensor, such as a gyro sensor and/or an acceleration sensor, for measuring the orientation of the screen (i.e. the directional vector of the orientation).

It should be noted that, if the electronic device includes only two screens, the first screen and the second screen refer to the two screens included in the electronic device, respectively. For example, in conjunction with fig. 1 or fig. 3 or fig. 4 or fig. 5, the first screen and the second screen are an a screen and a B screen, respectively. If the electronic device includes three or more screens, the first screen and the second screen respectively refer to any adjacent two screens of all screens included in the electronic device. For example, in conjunction with fig. 2, the first screen and the second screen may be an a screen and a B screen, respectively, or a B screen and a C screen, respectively.

It can be understood that the folding screen of the user folding the electronic device can be divided into: a forward fold and a reverse fold. In the process of folding the folding screen in the forward direction of the user, the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is gradually reduced. In the process of reversely folding the folding screen by the user, the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is gradually increased. In this application embodiment, if the electronic device detects that the included angle between the first screen and the second screen becomes smaller and larger, it can be determined that the user has performed forward folding on the folding screen first and then performed reverse folding (or the user has performed folding and returning operation on the folding screen). At this time, in some embodiments, the electronic device may perform a screen capture function in response to a user's operation (i.e., an operation of folding forward and folding backward). In other embodiments, the electronic device may perform a split screen function in response to the operation by the user.

A control method for an electronic device with a foldable screen according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific scenarios. For convenience of description, the following embodiments are explained taking as an example that each screen of the electronic device measures its orientation by providing a gyro sensor.

Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of an electronic device with a foldable screen according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, the method may include:

s701, the electronic equipment determines whether the user carries out forward folding and reverse folding operations on the folding screen of the electronic equipment.

For example, the electronic device may determine whether the user performs the operation of folding the foldable screen of the electronic device in the forward direction and the reverse direction by determining whether a change in an angle α between the first screen and the second screen satisfies a preset condition, indicate that the user performs the operation of folding the foldable screen in the forward direction and the reverse direction if it is determined that a change in an angle α between the first screen and the second screen satisfies the preset condition, and indicate that the user does not perform the operation of folding the foldable screen in the forward direction and the reverse direction if the change in the angle α between the first screen and the second screen does not satisfy the preset condition.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may determine the angle α between the first screen and the second screen using gyro sensors disposed in the first screen and the second screen.

For example, the electronic device may measure a direction vector of an orientation of each screen (e.g., a direction vector of an orientation of a first screen and a direction vector of an orientation of a second screen) through a gyro sensor disposed in each screen (e.g., the first screen and the second screen).

Wherein the coordinate system of the gyro sensor is a geographical coordinate system. The geographic coordinate system is shown in fig. 8, with the origin o at the point where the vehicle (which may refer to the equipment containing the gyroscopic sensor) is located, the x-axis pointing east (E) along the local latitudes, the y-axis pointing north (N) along the local meridian, and the z-axis pointing up along the local geographic vertical, and forming a right-hand orthogonal coordinate system with the x-axis and the y-axis. The plane formed by the x axis and the y axis is the local horizontal plane, and the plane formed by the y axis and the z axis is the local meridian plane. Thus, it can be understood that the coordinate system of the gyro sensor is: the gyroscope sensor is used as an origin o, the direction east along the local latitude line is used as an x axis, the direction north along the local meridian line is used as a y axis, and the direction up along the local geographical vertical line (namely the opposite direction of the geographical vertical line) is used as a z axis.

The electronic device can measure and obtain the direction vector of the orientation of each screen in the coordinate system of the gyro sensor arranged in the electronic device by using the gyro sensor arranged in each screen. For example, referring to fig. 1, taking an a screen and a B screen as the first screen and the second screen, respectively, where the a screen is provided with a gyro sensor a and the B screen is provided with a gyro sensor B, as an example, referring to a side view of the electronic device shown in fig. 9, a direction vector of an orientation of the a screen in a coordinate system of the gyro sensor a measured by the electronic device is a vector z1, and a direction vector of an orientation of the B screen in a coordinate system of the gyro sensor B is a vector z 2. Using equation (1):the angle θ between vector z1 and vector z2 can be calculated.

Wherein,

as can be seen from fig. 9, since the vector z1 is perpendicular to the a screen and the vector z2 is perpendicular to the B screen, the angle α between the a screen and the B screen can be obtained as 180 ° - θ, that is, the electronic device can determine the angle α between the a screen and the B screen according to the direction vector of the orientation of the a screen in the coordinate system of the gyro sensor a (i.e., the vector z1) and the direction vector of the orientation of the B screen in the coordinate system of the gyro sensor B (i.e., the vector z 2).

It should be noted that although the positions of the gyro sensors disposed in the first screen and the second screen (the above-mentioned a screen and B screen) do not overlap, that is, the origins of the coordinate systems of the gyro sensors of the first screen and the second screen do not overlap, the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis of the two coordinate systems are parallel, so that the coordinate systems of the gyro sensors disposed in the first screen and the second screen can be considered to be parallel, and thus, although the vector z1 and the vector z2 are not in the same coordinate system, because the axes of the two coordinate systems are parallel, the angle θ between the vector z1 and the vector z2 can be calculated by the above equation (1), so that the angle α between the first screen and the second screen can be determined according to the angle θ.

The electronic device may periodically determine α the angle between the first screen and the second screen and then determine α the change in the angle between the first screen and the second screen by comparing the angle between the first screen and the second screen determined over a period of time.

It should be noted that the period for determining the included angle α between the first screen and the second screen may be predefined, may be configured in advance (for example, configured in the electronic device when the electronic device is shipped), or may be set by a user, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited specifically herein.

In some embodiments of the present application, the predetermined condition may be that the angle α between the first and second panels is decreased and then increased, and further, to prevent the malfunction, the angle α between the first and second panels may be decreased and then increased, specifically, the angle α may be decreased within a first time after the angle is decreased and then increased from the time of the decrease, that is, if the electronic device determines that the angle α between the first and second panels is decreased and then decreased within a first time after the angle is decreased and then increased from the time of the decrease, the user is considered to perform the operation of folding the foldable panel of the electronic device in the forward and reverse directions, wherein the first time may have a value range of [500 ms, 2s ]. additionally, it is understood that the user may perform the operation of folding the foldable panel in the forward and reverse directions (e.g., folding the folding in the reverse directions) by rotating the first and/or second panels along the edge or folding axis.

For example, referring to FIG. 10 in conjunction with FIG. 1, a side view of the electronic device is shown in FIG. 10, where the first time is 1 second, the user first rotates the A-screen clockwise as shown in the figure along the folding edge, stops rotating the A-screen after 1 second, and then rotates the A-screen counterclockwise as shown in the figure along the folding edge from the time the rotation of the A-screen is stopped, so that as the A-screen rotates, the electronic device can detect that the included angle α between the A-screen and the B-screen becomes smaller, stops decreasing within 1 second after decreasing, and starts to become larger from the time the decrease is stopped.

For another example, referring to fig. 11 with reference to fig. 1, a side view of the electronic device is shown, where the first time is 1 second, as shown in fig. 11, the user first rotates the B-screen along the folding edge in a counterclockwise direction shown in the figure, stops rotating the B-screen after 1 second, and then rotates the B-screen along the folding edge in a clockwise direction shown in the figure from the time when the rotation of the B-screen is stopped, so that as the B-screen rotates, the electronic device can detect that the included angle α between the a-screen and the B-screen becomes smaller, stops decreasing within 1 second after decreasing, and starts increasing from the time when the decrease is stopped.

For another example, referring to fig. 12, with reference to fig. 1, which is a side view of the electronic device, the first time is 1 second, as shown in fig. 12, the user first rotates the a-screen along the folding edge in a clockwise direction as shown in the figure, rotates the B-screen in a counterclockwise direction as shown in the figure, and stops rotating the a-screen and the B-screen after 1 second, and then, from the time when the rotation of the a-screen and the B-screen is stopped, rotates the a-screen along the folding edge in a counterclockwise direction as shown in the figure, and rotates the B-screen in a clockwise direction as shown in the figure, so that as the a-screen and the B-screen rotate, the electronic device may detect that the angle α between the a-screen and the B-screen becomes smaller, and stops becoming smaller within 1 second after becoming smaller, and starts to become larger again from the time when the rotation of the a-screen and the B-screen becomes larger.

For example, referring to FIG. 13 in conjunction with FIG. 2, a side view of the electronic device, wherein the first time is 1 second, the first and second panels are, respectively, an A-panel and a B-panel, as shown in FIG. 13, the user first rotates the A-panel clockwise as shown in the figure along the folding edge and stops rotating the A-panel after 1 second, and then, from the time the rotation of the A-panel is stopped, rotates the A-panel counterclockwise as shown in the figure along the folding edge, such that as the A-panel rotates, the electronic device may detect that the angle α between the A-panel and the B-panel becomes smaller and stops decreasing within 1 second after decreasing and starts to become larger again from the time the angle stops decreasing as shown in the figure 1 second, i.e., the electronic device may determine that the user has performed a forward-fold and reverse-fold operation, as shown in FIG. 2, referring to the side view of the electronic device shown in FIG. 14, with the first time 1 second, the first and second panels B-C and C as shown in the second, the angle C-panel rotates from the time C and stops to the C, and then stops rotating, and the angle C-.

It should be noted that fig. 10-14 are illustrated in the initial state of the folding screen (i.e., the state of the folding screen before the user performs the operation) being unfolded, i.e., the angle α between the first screen and the second screen (e.g., the a screen and the B screen, or the B screen and the C screen) is 180 °.

It is to be understood that the above description determines whether the user has performed the fold forward and fold backward operation on the folded screen based on whether the angle α between the first and second screens (e.g., angle α between a screen and B screen is 180 ° - θ) is smaller and then larger, and that the user has performed the fold forward and fold backward operation on the folded screen, as another example, the electronic device may determine whether the user has performed the fold forward and fold backward operation on the folded screen based on whether the angle between the direction vector of the first screen and the direction vector of the second screen is larger and then smaller, if it is determined that the angle between the direction vector of the first screen and the direction vector of the second screen is larger and then smaller, it is indicated that the user has performed the fold forward and fold backward operation on the folded screen, if it is determined that the angle between the direction vector of the first screen and the direction vector of the second screen is larger and then smaller, it is indicated that the user has not performed the fold backward operation on the folded screen, and if it is determined that the angle between the direction vector of the first screen and the direction vector of the second screen is larger and the angle θ of the second screen is larger, then the angle between the angle of the first screen is larger and the angle of the direction vector of the second screen is larger, then smaller, then larger, then the angle of the first screen is considered to be larger, and the angle of the second screen is larger, and the angle of the angle.

S702, when it is determined that the user performs the operation of folding forward and folding backward, in response to the operation, the electronic device performs a target event, where the target event may be a screen capture or a screen split.

In some embodiments, when it is determined that the user performs the operation of folding forward and folding backward, the electronic device may perform a screen capture function in response to the operation, that is, saving the content in the interface currently displayed by the electronic device in the form of a screen capture.

It is understood that an interface can be tiled on a folding screen of the electronic device, and different interfaces can be displayed on the screens included in the electronic device independently. If the electronic device independently displays different interfaces on each screen included in the electronic device, as a response to the operation, the electronic device may store a plurality of different interfaces displayed on the folding screen in the form of one screenshot, or store a plurality of different interfaces displayed on the folding screen in the form of different screenshots. For example, referring to fig. 1, the electronic device includes an a screen and a B screen, where an interface 1 is displayed on the a screen and an interface 2 is displayed on the B screen, and the interface 1 is different from the interface 2. In response to the above operations, the electronic device may store the content of the interface 1 and the content of the interface 2 in the form of one screenshot (the screenshot includes the content of the interface 1 and the content of the interface 2), or may store the content of the interface 1 in the form of one screenshot and store the content of the interface 2 in the form of another screenshot.

In other embodiments, when it is determined that the user performs the operation of folding in the forward direction and folding in the reverse direction, the electronic device may perform a screen-splitting function in response to the operation, that is, dividing the folding screen of the electronic device into two or more display regions, and displaying different interfaces in the different display regions.

The number of the display areas divided by the electronic equipment can be the same as or different from the number of the screens included by the electronic equipment. For example, in connection with fig. 1, the folding screen of the electronic device is a flexible folding screen that is folded along a folding edge to form two screens. Then, as shown in fig. 15, in response to the above operation, the electronic device may divide the folding screen into two display areas, and display different interfaces in the two display areas, such as displaying interface 1 in display area 1 and displaying interface 2 in display area 2, where interface 1 and interface 2 are different. For another example, as shown in fig. 16, in response to the above operation, the electronic device may divide the folding screen into four display areas, and display different interfaces in the four display areas, such as displaying interface 1 in display area 1, displaying interface 2 in display area 2, displaying interface 3 in display area 3, and displaying interface 4 in display area 4, where interface 1, interface 2, interface 3, and interface 4 are different from each other.

It should be noted that fig. 15 illustrates the foldable screen being divided in the longitudinal direction, and the electronic device may also divide the foldable screen into two regions in the transverse direction. In addition, when the folding screen is divided in the longitudinal direction, the dividing line for dividing the folding screen may coincide with the folding edge (or folding axis) (as shown in fig. 15) or may not coincide with the folding edge (or folding axis) (not shown in the drawings). Fig. 16 illustrates an example of dividing the folding screen into four display regions in a grid-like manner, and the electronic device may also divide the folding screen into four regions in a vertical or horizontal dividing manner alone. The present embodiment does not specifically limit the specific dividing manner of the folding screen.

In addition, it can be understood that an interface can be tiled on a folding screen of the electronic device, and different interfaces can also be independently displayed on the screens included in the electronic device. In some embodiments, when determining that the user performs the operation of folding the electronic device in the forward direction and the reverse direction, the electronic device may determine whether one interface is displayed on the folding screen or different interfaces are independently displayed on the respective screens. If one interface is displayed, the electronic device may divide the folding screen into display areas of corresponding numbers according to the number of screens included in the electronic device, and display different interfaces in different display areas. If the electronic apparatus includes two screens, the folding screen is divided into two display areas in response to the above operation, as shown in fig. 15 described above. For another example, if the electronic device includes three screens, the folding screen is divided into three display areas. If different interfaces are independently displayed on each screen, the electronic device can divide each screen and display different interfaces in the divided areas. As described with reference to fig. 1, the electronic device includes the a screen and the B screen, and the interface displayed on the a screen is different from the interface displayed on the B screen, the a screen may be divided into two display areas and the B screen may be divided into two display areas in response to the above operations, as described in fig. 16.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, different interfaces may refer to different interfaces of the same application program, or may be interfaces of different application programs, which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the electronic device displays different interfaces in different display areas, which may specifically be: when it is determined that the user performs the operation of folding forward and folding backward, the electronic device may display an interface displayed on the folding screen when it is determined that the user performs the operation of folding forward and folding backward, such as an interface of a first application program, in one of the display regions after dividing the folding screen into two or more display regions, and display at least one identifier of a second application program, such as an icon, a thumbnail of the interface displayed when the user last exits the second application program, and the like, in the other display region, for the user to select. When receiving a selection operation of a user on an identifier of a certain second application program, displaying an interface of the second application program in other display areas, where the interface may be a main interface of the second application program or an interface displayed when the second application program is exited last time. The second application program may be an application program in the electronic device other than the first application program, or an application program in the electronic device other than the first application program that runs in the background.

For example, referring to fig. 1, as shown in (a) of fig. 17, an interface 1701 in which a WeChat is tiled on a folding screen of an electronic device before a user performs a forward-folding and reverse-folding operation is taken as an example. The user performs the operation of folding forward and folding backward. As shown in (B) of fig. 17, in response to the operation, the electronic device may divide the folding screen into two display areas, such as a display area 1 and a display area 2 (where, for example, the display area 1 is an a screen and the display area 2 is a B screen), and display the interface 1701 of the above-mentioned WeChat on one of the display areas, such as the display area 1, i.e., the a screen, and the identification of other applications of the electronic device on the display area 2, i.e., the B screen. Taking the display area 2 as an example for displaying the icons of the applications running in the background of the electronic device, as shown in (B) of fig. 17, the icons of the browser, the microblog icons, the read picture and the pan icon 1702 are displayed on the B screen. The user may select an application from the displayed icons that the user desires to use, such as icon 1702 where the user has selected a panning. In response to the selection operation by the user, the electronic device may display a panning interface 1703 on the B screen, as shown in (c) of fig. 17. Thus, the WeChat interface 1701 and the Taobao interface 1703 are displayed on the folding screen of the electronic device at the same time.

For example, the time point of executing the target event may be a second time at which the angle α starts to increase according to the angle α between the first screen and the second screen, the second time may be [0.1 second, 1 second ]. for example, see the angle change schematic diagram of the angle α shown in fig. 18. the electronic device may execute the target event when determining that the angle α between the first screen and the second screen becomes smaller, stops decreasing for a first time (e.g., 1 second) after decreasing, and starts to increase again from the time at which the angle stops decreasing, the electronic device may execute the target event at a second time at which the angle starts to increase, e.g., 0.2 second, according to the supplementary angle α between the first screen and the second screen, i.e., the angle θ, determine that the angle at which the user performs the forward folding operation and the reverse folding operation is an example, and may also be a specific time point when the angle θ starts to increase, and the target event may be executed when the angle of the target event is changed from the first time at which the angle α between the first screen and the second screen is smaller, i.g., the specific point at which the folding operation is performed.
