In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.

For ease of understanding, the technical background of the embodiments of the present application will be described below.

As described above, in the existing electronic device, a gesture of pressing multiple physical keys or different sliding screens at the same time is longer used to capture the current display content of the electronic device, so that after the folding screen device appears, there is a problem how to provide a new screenshot interaction mode for the folding screen device.

In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a screenshot scheme according to a characteristic that a display screen in a folding screen device is foldable, and generates a screenshot instruction for intercepting content displayed on the folding screen in the folding screen device by using the characteristic that the folding screen in the folding screen device is foldable and by changing an operation of a form of the folding screen in the folding screen device, and further intercepts and determines an area to be intercepted according to the generated screenshot instruction and intercepts the content displayed in the intercepted area. That is to say, can come the content that the collapsible screen of intercepting folding screen equipment shows through the form that changes collapsible screen in the folding screen equipment, so, compare in current screenshot modes such as through physics button and gesture slip, this application make full use of can buckle this characteristic of collapsible screen in the folding screen equipment, provide a new screenshot interactive mode, still increased the interest of screenshot, and then improved user's use experience.

Some simple descriptions are given below to application scenarios to which the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can be applied, and it should be noted that the application scenarios described below are only used for describing the embodiment of the present application and are not limited. In specific implementation, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can be flexibly applied according to actual needs.

Referring to the application scenario schematic diagram shown in fig. 1, in addition to the aforementioned folding-screen mobile phone, the folding-screen device in the embodiment of the present application may further include a foldable tablet computer, a smart watch, and the like, and for convenience of description, the application scenario shown in fig. 1 is described by taking the folding-screen device as the folding-screen mobile phone 10 as an example.

A folding screen mobile phone is a mobile phone which can change the effective display area of the screen by folding. Current folding screen cell phones may be a large size flexible foldable display screen that can then be folded to enable the folding screen cell phone to present at least two (e.g., two or three or more) different active display areas. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the foldable screen may be folded once, and then the foldable screen may be divided into two sub-screens by following the folding line, that is, the foldable screen in the folding-screen mobile phone 10 is divided into two sub-screens, namely, a first sub-screen 101 and a second sub-screen 102; in the unfolding mode, one picture may be displayed in the foldable screen of the foldable-screen mobile phone 10, different pictures may be displayed in the first sub-screen 101 and the second sub-screen 102, and the foldable screen of the foldable-screen mobile phone 10 may be divided into different areas according to a predetermined ratio to display different pictures. Referring to fig. 2, when the folding screen phone 10 is in the folding mode, the first sub-screen 101 or the second sub-screen 102 shown in fig. 2 may be used for displaying.

Of course, the foldable screen may also be folded for multiple times, such as twice folding or three times folding, as shown in fig. 3, when the foldable screen of the foldable-screen mobile phone 10 is folded for two times, there are two folding center lines, so that the foldable screen may be divided into three sub-screens, i.e., the first sub-screen 101, the second sub-screen 102 and the third sub-screen 103, according to the folding lines. Therefore, when the folding screen mobile phone is in the folding mode, any one of the three sub-screens can be controlled to display, and only one picture can be displayed in any one sub-screen, or at least two pictures can be respectively displayed in any one sub-screen; when the mobile phone is in the unfolding mode, the three sub-screens are used for displaying together, namely, the three sub-screens are used for displaying in the whole foldable screen, the three sub-screens can display the same picture together, and of course, the three sub-screens can be controlled to display different pictures respectively when the mobile phone with the foldable screen is in the unfolding mode, or a plurality of pictures can be displayed in proportion.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the foldable screen in the foldable-screen mobile phone is folded, that is, divided into two sub-screens, the form of the foldable screen is changed, and the foldable screen may be folded in a direction opposite to one side of the display screen with the side of the display screen as an outer surface as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, or folded inward with the side of the display screen as an inner surface, that is, the first sub-screen 101 and the second sub-screen 102 may move toward each other or move away from each other. When the foldable screen in the foldable-screen mobile phone is folded twice, the form of the foldable screen is changed to use one side of the displayed picture as the outer surface, the third sub-screen can be kept still, the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen are respectively controlled to be folded in the direction opposite to the one side of the displayed picture, or the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen are controlled to be folded towards one side of the displayed picture, or the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen can be respectively folded towards different directions, for example, the third sub-screen is kept still, the first sub-screen is controlled to be folded towards one side of the displayed picture, and the second sub-screen is controlled to be folded towards the other side of the displayed picture. Accordingly, when the foldable screen is a triple-fold or more-fold screen, it can be folded in a similar manner.

For convenience of description in the embodiment of the present application, a foldable screen in a foldable-screen mobile phone is taken as a foldable screen that can be folded at a time, that is, two sub-screens including a first sub-screen and a second sub-screen are taken as an example for specific description.

In the embodiment of the present application, the change of the form of the foldable screen may be embodied by a change of an included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen, so that the folding mode and the unfolding mode in the foregoing may be divided according to a difference of an included angle formed between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen when the form of the foldable screen in the mobile phone with the foldable screen is changed. For example, the folding screen mobile phone when an included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is any one of 0 degree and 5 degrees can be regarded as being in the folding mode, and the folding screen mobile phone when the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is any one of 170 degrees or 180 degrees can be regarded as being in the unfolding mode.

However, when the folding mode and the unfolding mode both correspond to a specific angle, a situation may occur in which the angle of the form change does not reach the specific angle value and cannot be detected, so that, in order to detect the form change of the foldable screen, the folding mode and the unfolding mode may be set to correspond to an angle range, respectively. The folding screen mobile phone can be regarded as being in the folding mode when the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is in the range of 0-90 degrees, and the folding screen mobile phone is regarded as being in the unfolding mode when the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is in the range of 91-180 degrees.

Further, the angle range of the folding mode and the angle range of the unfolding mode may also be two angle ranges that are not connected, for example, when the angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is in the range of 0 degree to 20 degrees, the folding screen mobile phone is regarded as being in the folding mode, and when the angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is in the range of 160 degrees to 180 degrees, the folding screen mobile phone is regarded as being in the unfolding mode, wherein when the angle between the first angle and the second angle is in the range of 20 degrees to 160 degrees, the folding screen mobile phone is neither the folding mode nor the unfolding mode, for example, the folding screen mobile phone may be called as an intermediate mode, the intermediate mode and the unfolding mode may be collectively called as an unfolding mode, and the intermediate mode and the folding mode may be collectively called as an unfolding mode.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to avoid ambiguity of the mode in which the foldable screen is located or the corresponding screenshot type when the form changes into the end value, the angle range in the present application may be set to include the end value with the smaller angle value of the two end values, but not include the end value with the larger angle value. For example, assuming that the corresponding angle range of the folding mode is 5 degrees to 20 degrees, when the detected angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen of the foldable screen is 5 degrees, the foldable screen is in the folding mode, but when the detected angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen of the foldable screen is 20 degrees, it may be determined that the foldable screen is in the non-folding mode.

To further illustrate the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following detailed description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description. Although the embodiments of the present application provide the method operation steps as shown in the following embodiments or figures, more or less operation steps may be included in the method based on the conventional or non-inventive labor. In steps where no necessary causal relationship exists logically, the order of execution of the steps is not limited to that provided by the embodiments of the present application. The method can be executed in sequence or in parallel according to the method shown in the embodiment or the figures when the method is executed in an actual processing procedure or a device (for example, a parallel processor or an application environment of multi-thread processing).

Referring to fig. 4, a flow of a screenshot method in the embodiment of the present application is described as follows.

Step 401: detecting a first predetermined operation for controlling the foldable screen to change its form between a first folded form and a second folded form when the foldable screen is in the first folded form, wherein at least two sub-screens included in the foldable screen device are in different forms when the foldable screen is in the first folded form and the second folded form, respectively;

for convenience of description in the embodiment of the present application, the folding-screen mobile phone 10 in the application scenarios of fig. 1 to fig. 3 is taken as an example to be specifically described.

In the embodiment of the application, the two sub-screens are different in presenting form, and the presentation form of the folding screen mobile phone can be changed by changing the angle of the included angle between the two sub-screens and further by controlling the presentation form of the two sub-screens. That is, an operation of changing the form of the foldable screen in the foldable-screen mobile phone may be detected according to a change in an angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen. For convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present application, an angle at which the foldable screen can be folded is exemplified as 0 degree to 180 degrees.

In this embodiment of the application, according to a difference in an included angle range between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen, the foldable screen in the folding-screen mobile phone may be divided into two forms, namely a first folding form and a second folding form, where an angle range corresponding to the first folding form may be referred to as a first angle range, and an angle range corresponding to the second folding form may be referred to as a second angle range. That is, the first folded configuration and the second folded configuration correspond to any one of the folded mode and the unfolded mode described above, respectively.

For example, the first folding state may be a state in which the folding screen mobile phone is in a folding mode, and at this time, the corresponding first angle range may be 0 to 50 degrees; the second folding state is a state that the folding screen mobile phone is in the unfolding mode, and at this time, the corresponding second angle range may be 50 degrees to 180 degrees. It can be seen that the corresponding first angle range in the folded mode is smaller than the corresponding second angle range in the unfolded mode.

Or, in this embodiment of the application, the foldable screen in the mobile phone with a foldable screen may be further divided into three forms, namely a first folding form, a second folding mode and a third folding form, according to a range of an included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen, where an angle range corresponding to the first folding form may be referred to as a first angle range, an angle range corresponding to the second folding form may be referred to as a second angle range, and an angle range corresponding to the third folding form may be referred to as a third angle range.

For example, the first folded configuration corresponds to a folded mode, the corresponding first angle range is 0 to 20 degrees, the second folded configuration corresponds to an unfolded mode, the corresponding second angle range is 160 to 180 degrees, the third folded configuration corresponds to the intermediate mode, and the corresponding third angle range is 20 to 159 degrees.

Further, as mentioned above, the first folding state may be a state in which the foldable screen is in the unfolding mode, or a state in which the foldable screen is in the folding mode, so the first predetermined operation in step 401 may be a different operation according to the difference of the first folding state.

Specifically, if the first folding state is a state in which the foldable screen is in the folding mode, and the second folding state is a state in which the foldable screen is in the non-folding mode (the unfolding mode or the intermediate mode), the first predetermined operation may include the following two modes:

mode 1: the first predetermined operation may be an operation of controlling the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen to be away from each other so that the foldable screen is switched from the folding mode to the non-folding mode.

For example, the first angle range is 0 to 60 degrees, the second angle range is 60 to 180 degrees, and assuming that the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen before the form change is 25 degrees, if the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is detected to be 150 degrees after the form of the foldable screen is changed, it indicates that the foldable screen is changed from the first folding form to the second folding form, i.e. the foldable screen is changed from the folding mode to the unfolding mode.

For another example, the first angle range corresponding to the folding mode is 0 degree to 20 degrees, the second angle range corresponding to the unfolding mode is 160 degrees to 180 degrees, the third angle range corresponding to the middle mode is 20 degrees to 160 degrees, when the first folding state is the folding mode, the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is 0 degree, after the state of the foldable screen is changed, the detected included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is 50 degrees, and 50 degrees are greater than the first angle range and smaller than the second angle range and just within the third angle range, so that it can be determined that the first predetermined operation is detected at this time.

For another example, assuming that the first angle range corresponding to the folding mode is 0 degree to 20 degrees, and the second angle range corresponding to the unfolding mode is 160 degrees to 170 degrees, then 20 degrees to 160 degrees, and 170 degrees to 180 degrees may all belong to the angle range corresponding to the middle mode, and in the first folding state (i.e. in the folding mode), the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is 0 degree, and after the form of the foldable screen is changed, if the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is detected to be 50 degrees or 175 degrees, it may be considered that the foldable screen of the folding-screen mobile phone has changed in form, so it may be determined that the first predetermined operation is detected.

Mode 2: the first predetermined operation may be an operation of controlling the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen to be away from each other to switch to the non-folding mode and to return to the folding mode within a first predetermined length of time.

The first preset time can be set according to actual conditions, but in order to detect the form change of the foldable screen more quickly and detect a complete first preset operation in a short time to avoid false detection, the first preset time is not set too long or too short, false operation is easy to occur if the first preset time is too long, and false detection is impossible if the first preset time is too short.

For example, the first angle range is 0 to 20 degrees, the second angle range is 160 to 180 degrees, and the third angle range is 20 to 160 degrees, wherein the form of the foldable screen corresponding to the angle ranges other than the first angle range of 0 to 20 degrees may be referred to as the non-folding mode. Assuming that the first preset time duration is 2 seconds, the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen before the form change is 10 degrees, if the detected change of the form change angle of the foldable screen in the time duration of 2 seconds is changed from 10 to 120 degrees, and then the angle is finally detected to be 15 degrees, namely, after the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen of the foldable screen in the time duration of 2 seconds exceeds the maximum angle value in the first angle range, the angle is restored to the angle in the first angle range, and then the first preset operation can be determined to occur.

The two modes of the mode 1-the mode 2 illustrate that when the folding screen mobile phone is in the folding mode, the mode of the folding screen in the folding screen can be changed by controlling the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen to be away from each other, so that the content displayed in the current display area of the folding screen mobile phone can be quickly captured by fully utilizing the folding characteristic of the folding screen mobile phone, a new screenshot interaction mode is provided, and the interest of screenshot is increased. In addition, different forms of the folding screen mobile phone correspond to different angle ranges, so that the folding screen mobile phone is more convenient for a user to operate when the form of the folding screen is changed, and misoperation and invalid operation are avoided.

Further, specifically, if the first folding configuration is a configuration in which the foldable screen is in the unfolded mode, and the second folding screen is a configuration in which the foldable screen belongs to the non-unfolded mode, the first predetermined operation may include the following two modes:

mode 3: the first predetermined operation may be to control the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen to approach each other so that the foldable screen is switched from the unfolded mode to the non-unfolded mode.

For example, taking the first angle range as 60 degrees to 180 degrees and the second angle range as 0 degree to 60 degrees as an example, assuming that the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen before the foldable screen is changed in shape is 170 degrees, if the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is detected as 20 degrees after the foldable screen is changed in shape, it is indicated that the foldable screen is changed from the first folding shape to the second folding shape, i.e. the foldable screen is changed from the unfolding mode to the folding mode.

For another example, assuming that the first angle range is 160 degrees to 180 degrees, the second angle range is 0 degrees to 20 degrees, the third angle range is 20 degrees to 160 degrees, and in the first folding state, the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is 170 degrees, and after the form of the foldable screen is changed, the detected included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is 100 degrees, it may be determined that the first predetermined operation is detected.

For another example, if the first angle range corresponding to the unfolding mode is 160 degrees to 180 degrees, and the second angle range corresponding to the folding mode is 10 degrees to 30 degrees, then 20 degrees to 160 degrees and 0 degrees to 10 degrees all belong to the angle ranges corresponding to the middle mode, and if the first folding state is the unfolding mode, the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is 180 degrees, after the state of the foldable screen is changed, if the included angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is detected to be 50 degrees or 5 degrees, it can be considered that the foldable screen of the foldable screen mobile phone has changed in state, so that it can be determined that the first predetermined operation is detected.

Mode 4: the first predetermined operation may also be an operation of controlling the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen of the foldable screen to approach each other to switch to the non-unfolded mode and return to the unfolded mode within a second predetermined length of time. The second predetermined time period may be the same as the first predetermined time period, or may be different from the first predetermined time period, and is specifically set according to specific situations.

For example, the first angle range is 160 degrees to 180 degrees, the second angle range is 0 degrees to 20 degrees, and the third angle range is 20 degrees to 160 degrees, wherein the foldable screen corresponding to the angle ranges other than the first angle range of 160 degrees to 180 degrees may be called the non-unfolded mode. Assuming that the angle of the foldable screen before the form change is 170 degrees, and the second preset time is 1 second, if it is detected that the change of the form change of the foldable screen is changed from 170 degrees to 140 degrees within the time of 1 second, and then it is detected that the angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen is 175 degrees, that is, after the angle between the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen of the foldable screen exceeds the minimum angle value in the first angle range within the time of 1 second, it is restored to the angle within the first angle range, it can be determined that the first preset operation has occurred.

The above two modes of modes 3 to 4 illustrate that the form of the foldable screen mobile phone can be changed by controlling the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen to approach each other when the foldable screen mobile phone is in the unfolding mode, so that the three modes of modes 3 to 4 also utilize the foldable characteristic of the foldable screen mobile phone to rapidly capture the content displayed in the current display area of the foldable screen mobile phone, provide a new screenshot interaction mode, and further increase the screenshot interest. In addition, different forms of the folding screen mobile phone correspond to different angle ranges, so that the folding screen mobile phone is more convenient for a user to operate when the form of the folding screen is controlled to change, and misoperation and invalid operation caused by angle errors are avoided.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments are merely for convenience of describing the first predetermined operation in the embodiment of the present application, and the first predetermined operation is not limited to only the above-mentioned four modes.

Step 402: and generating a screenshot instruction for intercepting the content displayed by the foldable screen according to the first preset operation.

In this embodiment of the application, different screenshot instructions may be generated according to different morphological change parameters of morphological change of the foldable screen corresponding to the first predetermined operation, for example, the screenshot instruction generated according to the first predetermined operation may be an instruction for intercepting content corresponding to a part of a foldable current display area of the foldable screen mobile phone, may also be an instruction for intercepting all content displayed in the foldable current display area of the foldable screen mobile phone, and may also be an instruction for performing long-screenshot on the content displayed on the foldable screen of the foldable screen mobile phone. Therefore, partial or all or more display contents in the current display area of the foldable screen can be intercepted through the different form changes of the foldable screen, the screenshot mode of the mobile phone end of the foldable screen is enriched, the intercepting efficiency is improved, and the interest of screenshot is increased.

Step 403: and determining an intercepting area corresponding to the screenshot instruction in the foldable screen, and intercepting corresponding content in the intercepting area.

In the embodiment of the present application, as described above, different screenshot instructions may be generated according to different first predetermined operations, so that a morphological change parameter that a foldable screen in a foldable-screen mobile phone changes morphologically between the first folded form and the second folded form may be controlled within a third predetermined time according to the first predetermined operation, and a capture area corresponding to the screenshot instruction may be determined from a current display area of the foldable screen of the foldable-screen mobile phone. For convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present application, the form change parameter is specifically described as an angle and/or a number of times as an example.

Specifically, the screenshot type corresponding to the first sub-form change parameter that is changed in form between the first folding form and the second folding form may be determined according to a preset correspondence between the form change parameter of the form change and the screenshot type, and the screenshot area that needs to be screenshot may be determined according to the determined screenshot type.

The screenshot type comprises a full-screen screenshot, a partial screenshot or a long screenshot, wherein the full-screen screenshot corresponds to the screenshot instruction for intercepting all contents displayed in the current display area of the foldable screen of the folding-screen mobile phone, the partial screenshot corresponds to the screenshot instruction for intercepting the contents corresponding to a partial area in the current display area of the foldable screen of the folding-screen mobile phone, and the long screenshot corresponds to the instruction for performing long screenshot on the contents displayed in the foldable screen of the folding-screen mobile phone; the first sub-form change parameter may be an angle of form change or a number of times of form change; the current display area of the foldable screen of the folding-screen mobile phone can be independently displayed through any one of the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen, or can be displayed through the whole display screen of the foldable screen composed of the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen.

For example, taking the form change parameter as the angle of the form change of the foldable screen as an example, assuming that the angle of the form change of the foldable screen is in the range of 0 degree to 50 degrees, the corresponding screenshot type is a partial screenshot; and when the screen capture type is within the range of 50-100 degrees, the corresponding screen capture type is a full screen capture, and when the screen capture type is within the range of 100-150 degrees, the corresponding screen capture type is a long screen capture. After the foldable screen is subjected to form change, if the detected angle of the form change is in the range of 0-50 degrees, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot instruction is a partial screenshot; if the detected form change angle is within the range of 50 degrees to 100 degrees, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot instruction is a full-screen screenshot; if the detected form change angle is in the range of 100 degrees to 150 degrees, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot command is a long screenshot.

For another example, taking the form change parameter as the number of times of form change of the foldable screen as an example, assuming that the form of the foldable screen mobile phone changes for 1 time, the corresponding screenshot type is a partial screenshot; the foldable screen of the folding screen mobile phone changes for 2 times, and the corresponding screenshot type is a full screen screenshot; the folding screen of the folding screen mobile phone changes in shape for 3 times, and the corresponding screenshot type is a long screenshot. After the foldable screen is subjected to form change, if the detected form change times are 1 time, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot instruction is a partial screenshot; if the detected form change times are 2 times, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot command is a full-screen screenshot; and if the detected form change times are 3 times, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot command is a long screenshot.

For another example, taking the form change parameters as the angle and the number of times of the form change of the foldable screen as an example, assuming that the angle of the form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is 0 degree to 50 degrees, and the number of times of the form change is 1 time, the corresponding screenshot type is a partial screenshot; the angle of the foldable screen form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is 50-100 degrees, and when the form change times are 2 times, the corresponding screenshot type is a full screen screenshot; the angle of the foldable screen form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is 100-150 degrees, and when the form change times are 3 times, the corresponding screenshot type is a long screenshot. After the foldable screen is subjected to form change, if the detected angle of the form change is 0-50 degrees and the number of the form change is 1 time, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot command is a partial screenshot; if the detected form change angle is 50-100 degrees and the form change frequency is 2 times, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot command is a full-screen screenshot; and if the detected form change angle is 100-150 degrees, and the form change frequency is 3 times, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot command is a long screenshot.

In the embodiment of the application, when the determined screenshot type is a partial screenshot, it can be further determined from a current display area of a foldable screen of the foldable screen mobile phone to specifically intercept the content corresponding to the partial area.

In the embodiment of the application, a region corresponding to the content selected by the user can be used as the intercepting region by detecting the selection operation of the user on the display content in the current display region of the foldable screen mobile phone, wherein the selection operation can be that the user directly scratches the intercepting region to be intercepted by a finger or a stylus pen, or determines the intercepting region from the current display region of the foldable screen mobile phone through voice control, and the like. And the method can also directly determine to select partial areas from the current display areas of the foldable screen mobile phone for screenshot according to the form change parameters which change the form of the foldable screen and correspond to the first preset operation.

Specifically, the target position area in the current display area of the foldable screen corresponding to the second sub-form change parameter, which is changed in form between the first folding form and the second folding form, may be determined according to a preset corresponding relationship between the form change parameter, which is changed in form, and the position area of the foldable screen, and the target position area may be determined as the capture area. The second sub-form change parameter also comprises the angle or the times of the foldable form change of the folding screen mobile phone;

in the embodiment of the application, it is assumed that the form change parameter of the foldable screen mobile phone is an angle and a frequency, the screenshot type corresponding to the generated screenshot instruction is determined to be a partial screenshot, and then the angle range corresponding to the partial screenshot can be further subdivided into a plurality of angle ranges, a screenshot area is defined for each angle range, and then the display content corresponding to which department area in the current display area of the foldable screen mobile phone is determined according to which specific range the angle of the form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is in.

For example, referring to fig. 5a to 5d, if it is determined that the screenshot type of the generated screenshot instruction is a partial screenshot according to the angle and the number of times of the form change of the foldable screen mobile phone, where the angle range of the form change is 0 to 50 degrees, it may be set that when the detected angle of the form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is in the range of 0 to 10 degrees, the display content in the left half area of the current display area of the foldable screen is intercepted (as shown in fig. 5 a); when the detected angle of the foldable screen form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is in the range of 10 degrees to 20 degrees, intercepting the display content in the right half area in the current display area of the foldable screen (as shown in fig. 5 b); when the detected angle of the foldable screen form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is in the range of 20 degrees to 30 degrees, intercepting the display content in the middle upper area of the current display area of the foldable screen (as shown in fig. 5 c); when the detected angle of the foldable screen form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is in the range of 30 degrees to 40 degrees, intercepting the display content in the lower half area of the current display area of the foldable screen (as shown in fig. 5 d); and when the detected angle of the foldable screen form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is in the range of 40-50 degrees, intercepting the display content of the area corresponding to the circle with the largest area in the current display area of the foldable screen.

Of course, it is also possible to cut out a part of the area of the foldable screen in the current display area according to other cutting shapes, such as regular shapes like triangles or other irregular shapes. It should be noted here that, as shown in fig. 5a to 5d, the method for capturing a part of display content in the foldable screen may capture a part of display content in the current display area when the foldable screen is in the unfolded mode, that is, when the first sub-screen and the second sub-screen are displayed together, or may capture a part of content in the current display area when the foldable screen is in the folded mode (that is, when the first sub-screen or the second sub-screen is displayed separately). The clipped region may be clipped according to a scale other than that shown in fig. 5a to 5d, for example, the display content corresponding to the left one third region of the display region may be clipped.

In this embodiment of the application, the content displayed in the foldable screen of the folding-screen mobile phone may include one or more of characters, pictures, flash animations, videos, and the like, and the characters, the pictures, the flash animations, the videos, and the like may be collectively referred to as the displayed object types. Therefore, when the screenshot type of the screenshot command is a partial screenshot, the target object type in the current display area of the foldable screen corresponding to the third sub-form change parameter which is changed in form between the first folding form and the second folding form can be determined according to the preset corresponding relationship between the form change parameter which is changed in form of the foldable screen and the object type, and the display area occupied by the target object type can be determined as the screenshot area. The third sub-configuration change parameter may be the same as or different from the second sub-configuration change parameter.

For example, referring to fig. 6a to 6b, if it is determined that the screenshot type of the generated screenshot instruction is a partial screenshot according to the angle and the number of times of the form change of the foldable screen mobile phone, where the angle range of the form change is 0 to 50 degrees, it may be set that when the detected angle of the form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is in the range of 0 to 10 degrees, the text content displayed in the current display area of the foldable screen is intercepted (as shown in fig. 6 a); when the detected angle of the foldable screen form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is within the range of 10 degrees to 20 degrees, intercepting the picture content displayed in the current display area of the foldable screen (as shown in fig. 6 b); when the detected angle of the form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is within the range of 20-30 degrees, intercepting flash animation content displayed in the current display area of the foldable screen; when the detected angle of the foldable screen form change of the foldable screen mobile phone is in the range of 30 degrees to 40 degrees, intercepting the video content displayed in the current display area of the foldable screen.

Similarly, when the content such as the picture or the text in the current display area is captured, the content may also be captured when the folding-screen mobile phone is in the extended mode, or may be captured when the folding-screen mobile phone is in the folded mode as shown in fig. 6a to 6 b.

Further, as an optional implementation manner, when the current display area of the foldable screen mobile phone includes discontinuous multiple segments of text contents, multiple pictures, or multiple flash animations, the discontinuous multiple segments of text contents, the multiple pictures, or the multiple flash animations are all captured, and after the capture, multiple screenshots can be generated respectively, or one or multiple screenshots can be generated from the text, the pictures, or the flash animations selected by the user according to the operation selected by the user; the plurality of intercepted contents can be spliced to generate a screenshot, wherein the splicing direction can be splicing the plurality of intercepted contents from left to right according to the intercepting sequence, or splicing the plurality of intercepted contents from top to bottom according to the intercepting sequence, or splicing the plurality of intercepted contents in any other mode; or directly and respectively acquiring corresponding contents in a plurality of intercepting areas, and displaying the plurality of contents in one screenshot.

For example, two screenshots can be finally generated when two characters are included in a current display area of a foldable screen mobile phone, or a screenshot obtained by splicing the two characters up and down, or a screenshot obtained by splicing the two characters left and right, or a screenshot obtained by directly obtaining the contents of the two characters.

As an optional implementation manner, when the current display area of the foldable screen of the folding-screen mobile phone includes at least two of characters, pictures, flash animations, and videos, and when the at least two contents need to be intercepted, it is necessary to intercept the contents corresponding to a plurality of partial areas in the current display area of the foldable screen of the folding-screen mobile phone. In order to improve the efficiency of screenshot, the screenshot can be intercepted according to a preset interception strategy.

The predetermined interception policy may be three types:

firstly, the object type with the top display order can be preferentially intercepted according to the display order of the object types from top to bottom in the current display area of the foldable screen mobile phone; if the display sequence is sequentially characters, pictures and flash animations, the characters are firstly intercepted, then the pictures are intercepted, and finally the flash animations are intercepted.

Secondly, the interception sequence can be determined according to the object type; for example, the order of character capture is the first, the order of picture capture is the second, and the order of flash animation capture is the last.

Thirdly, the interception order can be determined according to the data size of the object type; for example, if the amount of text data is the smallest, the text is firstly captured, if the amount of picture data is the second, the picture is secondly captured, and if the amount of flash animation data is the largest, the flash animation is finally captured.

Further, after a plurality of object types are intercepted according to a preset interception strategy, a plurality of screenshots can be generated, and a screenshot can also be generated after the intercepted plurality of object types are processed, such as splicing, synthesis and the like, according to the interception sequence.

Therefore, by the method, in the embodiment of the application, after a first predetermined operation of changing the foldable screen form of the foldable screen mobile phone is detected, a screenshot instruction of intercepting the content displayed by the foldable screen can be generated according to the first predetermined operation, an intercepting area needing to be intercepted from the content displayed by the foldable screen is further determined according to the screenshot instruction, the content in the intercepting area is intercepted, and a screenshot is generated. Therefore, the folding characteristic of the folding screen equipment is fully utilized to control the folding screen equipment to capture the screen, a new screen capture interaction mode is provided, the multifunctionality of the folding screen equipment is enhanced, and the folding and unfolding characteristics of the folding screen based on the folding screen equipment also increase the interest of the screen capture, so that the use experience of a user is improved. Furthermore, when partial screenshot is carried out, a plurality of partial screenshots needing to be intercepted can be processed to generate one screenshot, and the screenshots are prevented from being spliced after being intercepted respectively, so that the screenshot efficiency of long screenshots is improved.
