Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 1, the following describes an embodiment specifically by taking an electronic device 100 as an example.

The electronic device 100 may include a processor 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a USB interface 130, a charging management module 140, a power management module 141, a battery 142, an antenna 1, an antenna 2, a mobile communication module 151, a wireless communication module 152, an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, an earphone interface 170D, a sensor module 180, a button 190, a motor 191, an indicator 192, a camera 193, a display 194, a SIM card interface 195, and the like. The sensor module 180 may include a pressure sensor 180A, a gyroscope sensor 180B, a proximity light sensor 180G, a fingerprint sensor 180H, a touch sensor 180K, and the like, and further include an air pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, an acceleration sensor, a distance sensor, a temperature sensor, an ambient light sensor, a bone conduction sensor, and the like (not shown in the figure).

It is to be understood that the illustrated structure of the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or some components may be combined, some components may be split, or a different arrangement of components. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

Processor 110 may include one or more processing units, such as: the processor 110 may include an Application Processor (AP), a modem processor, a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), an Image Signal Processor (ISP), a controller, a memory, a video codec, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and/or a Neural-Network Processing Unit (NPU), etc. The different processing units may be separate devices or may be integrated into one or more processors.

The controller may be, among other things, a neural center and a command center of the electronic device 100. The controller can generate an operation control signal according to the instruction operation code and the timing signal to complete the control of instruction fetching and instruction execution.

A memory may also be provided in processor 110 for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may hold instructions or data that have just been used or recycled by the processor 110. If the processor 110 needs to reuse the instruction or data, it can be called directly from the memory. Avoiding repeated accesses reduces the latency of the processor 110, thereby increasing the efficiency of the system.

The processor 110 may operate the method for displaying the prompt message provided by the embodiment of the present application, so as to reduce the probability of the prompt message being eliminated due to the false touch of the user. When the processor 110 integrates different devices, such as a CPU and a GPU, the CPU and the GPU may cooperate to execute the method for displaying the prompt information provided by the embodiment of the present application, for example, part of the algorithm in the method for displaying the prompt information is executed by the CPU, and the other part of the algorithm is executed by the GPU, so as to obtain a faster processing efficiency.

The display screen 194 is used to display images, video, and the like. The display screen 194 includes a display panel. The display panel may adopt a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode, AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), a miniature, a Micro-oeld, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), and the like. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include 1 or N display screens 194, with N being a positive integer greater than 1.

In this embodiment, the display screen 194 may be an integrated flexible display screen, or may be a spliced display screen formed by two rigid screens and a flexible screen located between the two rigid screens. After the processor 110 runs the method for displaying the prompt message provided by the embodiment of the present application, the display screen 194 receives a first touch operation when displaying the prompt message, and the processor 110 determines a first duration between a second time of a last touch operation received by the electronic device before displaying the prompt message and a first time of the first touch operation; and when the first time length is larger than the set time length threshold value, switching from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface.

The cameras 193 (front camera or rear camera, or one camera may be both front camera and rear camera) are used to capture still images or video. In general, the camera 193 may include a photosensitive element such as a lens group including a plurality of lenses (convex lenses or concave lenses) for collecting an optical signal reflected by an object to be photographed and transferring the collected optical signal to an image sensor, and an image sensor. And the image sensor generates an original image of the object to be shot according to the optical signal.

The internal memory 121 may be used to store computer-executable program code, which includes instructions. The processor 110 executes various functional applications of the electronic device 100 and data processing by executing instructions stored in the internal memory 121. The internal memory 121 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. Wherein the storage program area may store an operating system, codes of application programs (such as a camera application, a WeChat application, etc.), and the like. The storage data area may store data created during use of the electronic device 100 (e.g., images, videos, etc. captured by a camera application), and the like.

The internal memory 121 may also store codes of a display algorithm of the hint information provided by the embodiments of the present application. When the codes of the algorithm stored in the internal memory 121 are run by the processor 110, the judgment processing may be performed on the touch operation received when the display screen displays the prompt information, and when the interval duration of the touch operation is greater than the set duration threshold, the display is switched from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface.

In addition, the internal memory 121 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may further include a nonvolatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash memory (UFS), and the like.

Of course, the codes of the algorithms provided in the embodiments of the present application may also be stored in the external memory. In this case, the processor 110 may execute the code of the algorithm stored in the external memory through the external memory interface 120 to implement the anti-false touch processing on the touch operation.

The function of the sensor module 180 is described below.

The gyro sensor 180A may be used to determine the motion attitude of the electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the angular velocity of electronic device 100 about three axes (i.e., the x, y, and z axes) may be determined by gyroscope sensor 180A. That is, the gyro sensor 180A may be used to detect the current motion state of the electronic device 100, such as shaking or standing still.

The acceleration sensor 180B may detect the magnitude of acceleration of the electronic device 100 in various directions (typically three axes). That is, the gyro sensor 180A may be used to detect the current motion state of the electronic device 100, such as shaking or standing still.

The proximity light sensor 180G may include, for example, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) and a light detector, such as a photodiode. The light emitting diode may be an infrared light emitting diode. The mobile phone emits infrared light outwards through the light emitting diode. The handset uses a photodiode to detect infrared reflected light from nearby objects. When sufficient reflected light is detected, it can be determined that there is an object near the handset. When insufficient reflected light is detected, the handset can determine that there are no objects near the handset.

The gyro sensor 180A (or the acceleration sensor 180B) may transmit the detected motion state information (such as an angular velocity) to the processor 110. The processor 110 determines whether the electronic device 100 is currently in the handheld state or the tripod state (for example, when the angular velocity is not 0, the electronic device is in the handheld state) based on the motion state information.

The fingerprint sensor 180H is used to collect a fingerprint. The electronic device 100 can utilize the collected fingerprint characteristics to unlock the fingerprint, access the application lock, photograph the fingerprint, answer an incoming call with the fingerprint, and so on.

The touch sensor 180K is also referred to as a "touch panel". The touch sensor 180K may be disposed on the display screen 194, and the touch sensor 180K and the display screen 194 form a touch screen, which is also called a "touch screen". The touch sensor 180K is used to detect a touch operation applied thereto or nearby. The touch sensor can communicate the detected touch operation to the application processor to determine a touch event type. Visual output related to touch operations may be provided through the display screen 194. In other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K may be disposed on a surface of the electronic device 100, different from the position of the display screen 194.

Illustratively, the display screen 194 of the electronic device 100 displays a main interface including icons for a plurality of applications (e.g., a camera application, a WeChat application, etc.). The user clicks the icon of the camera application in the home interface through the touch sensor 180K, which triggers the processor 110 to start the camera application and open the camera 193. The display screen 194 displays an interface, such as a viewfinder interface, for the camera application. In the embodiment of the present application, when the display screen 194 displays the prompt information, the processor 110 performs a false touch prevention process on the touch operation received by the touch sensor 180K.

The wireless communication function of the electronic device 100 may be implemented by the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the mobile communication module 151, the wireless communication module 152, the modem processor, the baseband processor, and the like.

The antennas 1 and 2 are used for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in the electronic device 100 may be used to cover a single or multiple communication bands. Different antennas can also be multiplexed to improve the utilization of the antennas. For example: the antenna 1 may be multiplexed as a diversity antenna of a wireless local area network. In other embodiments, the antenna may be used in conjunction with a tuning switch.

The mobile communication module 151 may provide a solution including 2G/3G/4G/5G wireless communication applied to the electronic device 100. The mobile communication module 151 may include at least one filter, a switch, a power amplifier, a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), and the like. The mobile communication module 151 may receive electromagnetic waves from the antenna 1, filter, amplify, etc. the received electromagnetic waves, and transmit the electromagnetic waves to the modem processor for demodulation. The mobile communication module 151 may also amplify the signal modulated by the modem processor, and convert the signal into electromagnetic wave through the antenna 1 to radiate the electromagnetic wave. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 151 may be provided in the processor 110. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 151 may be disposed in the same device as at least some of the modules of the processor 110.

The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used for modulating a low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used for demodulating the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then passes the demodulated low frequency baseband signal to a baseband processor for processing. The low frequency baseband signal is processed by the baseband processor and then transferred to the application processor. The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio device (not limited to the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, etc.) or displays an image or video through the display screen 194. In some embodiments, the modem processor may be a stand-alone device. In other embodiments, the modem processor may be provided in the same device as the mobile communication module 151 or other functional modules, independent of the processor 110.

The wireless communication module 152 may provide a solution for wireless communication applied to the electronic device 100, including Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) (e.g., wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks), bluetooth (bluetooth, BT), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Frequency Modulation (FM), Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared (IR), and the like. The wireless communication module 152 may be one or more devices integrating at least one communication processing module. The wireless communication module 152 receives electromagnetic waves via the antenna 2, performs frequency modulation and filtering processing on electromagnetic wave signals, and transmits the processed signals to the processor 110. The wireless communication module 152 may also receive a signal to be transmitted from the processor 110, frequency-modulate it, amplify it, and convert it into electromagnetic waves via the antenna 2 to radiate it.

In addition, the electronic device 100 may implement an audio function through the audio module 170, the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, the microphone 170C, the earphone interface 170D, and the application processor. Such as music playing, recording, etc. The electronic device 100 may receive key 190 inputs, generating key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the electronic device 100. Electronic device 100 may generate a vibration alert (e.g., an incoming call vibration alert) using motor 191. The indicator 192 in the electronic device 100 may be an indicator light, and may be used to indicate a charging status, a power change, or a message, a missed call, a notification, etc. The SIM card interface 195 in the electronic device 100 is used to connect a SIM card. The SIM card can be brought into and out of contact with the electronic apparatus 100 by being inserted into the SIM card interface 195 or being pulled out of the SIM card interface 195.

It should be understood that in practical applications, the electronic device 100 may include more or less components than those shown in fig. 1, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 shown in FIG. 1 may also include other functionsPortable electronic devices such as personal digital assistants and/or music player functions, such as cell phones, tablet computers, wearable devices with wireless communication capabilities (e.g., smart watches), and the like. Exemplary embodiments of the portable electronic device include, but are not limited to, a mount

Or other operating system. The portable electronic device may also be other portable electronic devices such as laptop computers (laptop) with touch sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch panels), etc. It should also be understood that in some other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may not be a portable electronic device, but may be a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch panel).

At present, when a user opens a new application, usually, the interface automatically prompts the prompt information of some functions, and when the user clicks the screen, the interface automatically switches to display the prompt information of the next function. Some complex applications or functions usually display a plurality of pieces of prompt information on the interface continuously, and because these prompt information will disappear from the interface automatically after receiving the touch operation of the user at present, when the user clicks the screen continuously due to habit, some prompt information may disappear from the interface without being completely read by the user, so that the user may miss reading some information, thereby affecting the user experience. As shown in fig. 3, first prompt information of the gesture operation guide is displayed on the desktop of the mobile phone in (a) in fig. 3, and includes a gesture and corresponding text content for enlarging the manageable desktop with two fingers. In the prior art, when a user clicks any position on a screen, the prompt message disappears.

Based on the above problem, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for displaying a prompt message, as shown in fig. 2, where the method may be applied to the electronic device shown in fig. 1 or similar to the functional structure of fig. 1, that is, the method may be executed by each hardware part in the electronic device in combination with a corresponding software program, and the specific steps are as follows.

In step 201, the processor 110 in the electronic device displays a first interface on the display screen 194, where the first interface may include icons of a plurality of applications, and when an application is opened, function prompt information for prompting how to use and operate the application may also be displayed in the display interface of the application.

For example, referring to fig. 3 to 5, assuming that the electronic device is a mobile phone as shown in the figures, the first interface may display an illustration-type prompt message as shown in fig. 3, or a dynamic-effect prompt message as shown in fig. 4, and a text bubble prompt message or a pop-up box prompt message as shown in fig. 5.

In step 202, the processor 110 in the electronic device receives a first touch operation of a user on a first interface through the display screen 194 at a first time. That is to say, when the prompt information is displayed on the interface of the electronic device, the electronic device detects a first touch operation performed on the first interface by the user.

In step 203, the processor 110 in the electronic device determines a first duration between a second time and a first time of a last touch operation received by the electronic device before the first interface is displayed.

In other words, within a time period before the electronic device displays the first interface including the prompt message, a time point of the last touch operation received by the electronic device is a second time, and the electronic device calculates a first time period between the second time and the first time. Generally, the last touch operation received by the electronic device before the first interface is displayed is an operation for triggering the display of the prompt message.

In step 204, when it is determined that the first duration is greater than the set duration threshold, in response to the first touch operation, the processor 110 in the electronic device switches from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface on the display screen 194, where the second interface does not include the prompt information.

In this embodiment, a preset set time threshold may be stored in the internal memory 121 of the electronic device, or stored in a remote third-party storage device, and the processor 110 controls the prompt information of the first interface to disappear after receiving the first touch operation only when determining that a time interval between the previous and subsequent second touch operations and the first touch operation, that is, the first time, is greater than the set time threshold read from the internal memory 121, or greater than the set time threshold read from the third-party storage device through the external memory interface 120. Therefore, the method can avoid the probability event that the prompt information is mistakenly eliminated due to the fact that the user continuously clicks the screen in habit to a certain extent.

In an alternative embodiment, the electronic device may further obtain a type of the prompt message on the first interface, for example, an illustration type, a animation type, a text bubble type, a text box type, and the like. And then the electronic equipment determines a reference display time length threshold of the prompt message according to the type of the prompt message. Furthermore, when the first duration is greater than the set duration threshold and the first duration is greater than the reference display duration threshold corresponding to the type of the prompt message, the electronic device switches from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface, so that a probability event that the prompt message is mistakenly eliminated due to the fact that a user is accustomed to continuously clicking the screen can be further avoided.

In general, the set duration threshold may be less than the reference display duration threshold. For example, the set duration threshold is 500 milliseconds, and the reference display duration threshold may be 1 second or 2 seconds. For example, different reference display duration thresholds corresponding to the reference display duration thresholds of different types of prompt messages may be set as shown in table one.

TABLE 1

Type (B)	Reference display duration threshold
		Picture type (with picture as main and character as auxiliary)	1 second
Type of dynamic effect (animation as main, character as auxiliary)	2 seconds
		Character bubble type (pure character)	2 seconds
Type of elastic frame (character is main)	3 seconds

The types in table 1 are types of prompt messages commonly used by an operating system at present, and the display method of the prompt messages provided in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to other types of prompt messages, that is, the types of the prompt messages applicable in the embodiment of the present application include, but are not limited to, the types shown in the above examples. The illustration type prompt message generally consists of a simple operation graph and prompt characters, and may be in a full screen or a non-full screen. As shown in fig. 3, first prompt information of the gesture operation guide is displayed on the desktop of the mobile phone in (a) in fig. 3, and includes a gesture and corresponding text content for enlarging the manageable desktop with two fingers. In fig. 3 (b), second prompt information (which is an illustration type prompt information) of the gesture operation guide is displayed on the desktop of the mobile phone, and includes a gesture and corresponding text content for kneading the manageable desktop with two fingers. If the mobile phone receives a first touch operation of the user on the interface shown in fig. 3, the mobile phone determines that the first time length described above is greater than a set time length threshold (e.g., 500ms), and is greater than a time length 1s corresponding to the prompt information of the illustration type shown in table 1, and the prompt information on the mobile phone disappears after receiving the first touch operation.

In addition, the content displayed by the prompt information of the dynamic effect type is an operation guide of a graph and an animation, and the prompt information disappears immediately when the position outside the prompt information display area is clicked. As shown in fig. 4, when the user selects the screen capture operation, the active process of the screen capture is displayed on the interface of the mobile phone. Assuming that the mobile phone receives a first touch operation of the user on the interface shown in fig. 4 (the first touch operation falls outside the display area of the prompt message), when the first time length described above is greater than the set time length threshold (e.g., 500ms) and greater than the time length 2s corresponding to the prompt message of the dynamic effect type shown in table 1, the prompt message on the mobile phone disappears after receiving the first touch operation.

For another example, the prompt message of text bubble type generally appears near the guided operation area, and mainly consists of pure text or text plus icon. As shown in fig. 5, when the cell phone detects that the cursor falls within the search box control, a prompt "click, cell phone can be set with voice" is displayed. Assuming that the mobile phone receives a first touch operation of the user on the interface shown in fig. 5, when the first time length described above is greater than a set time length threshold (e.g., 500ms) and greater than the time length 2s corresponding to the prompt information of the text bubble type shown in table 1, the prompt information on the mobile phone disappears after receiving the first touch operation.

Fig. 6 shows prompt information of a bullet box type, which may be in a full screen or a non-full screen. In fig. 6, when the mobile phone detects that the current interface is a new contact interface, a prompt message "import address book" and related image and text contents pop up. Assuming that the mobile phone receives a first touch operation (the first touch operation falls outside the display area of the prompt message) of the user on the interface shown in fig. 6, when the first duration is greater than a set duration threshold (e.g., 500ms) and is greater than the duration 3s corresponding to the prompt message of the pop-up box type shown in table 1, the prompt message on the mobile phone disappears after receiving the first touch operation.

The value of the reference display duration threshold is generally obtained through experience, and may be preset in the internal memory 121 by a manufacturer before the electronic device leaves a factory, or may be manually set by a user after the electronic device leaves the factory, and when the user manually sets the value, the value may be input into the electronic device in various manners, for example, in a voice control manner or a text input manner, and then the processor 110 of the electronic device obtains the reference display duration threshold input by the user and stores the reference display duration threshold in the internal memory 121, or the user may store the reference display duration threshold manually set by the user in a remote third-party memory. Generally, since more time is consumed for reading the text, the reference display duration threshold corresponding to the text bubble type and the text box type is usually greater than the reference display duration threshold corresponding to the illustration type and the animation type.

In table 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the reason for setting the specific value of the reference display duration threshold of the prompt information of the illustration type may be: the time delay within 1 second can still maintain the cardio-fluid test, and the user generally does not exceed 700ms at most when reading a certain target to watch, so the time length threshold is displayed by taking 1 second as a reference. The reason for setting the specific value of the reference display duration threshold of the dynamic effect type prompt message may be as follows: the action duration of the interface design is typically between 200ms and 500ms, and if the individual prompt action is longer than 500ms, the reference display duration threshold may be 2 seconds, since 2 seconds is typically an unacceptable response delay threshold, triggering short term memory. The reason for setting the specific value of the reference display duration threshold of the prompt message of the text bubble type may be: short bubble prompts are generally about 10 words, and generally about 2000ms is needed for completing reading. The reason for setting the specific value of the reference display duration threshold of the prompt message of the popup box type may be: the bullet box guide information is more complex than the text bubble, and takes about 3000ms to read out, taking the 25-word prompt as an example.

In an alternative embodiment, the processor 110 in the electronic device may always display the first interface (with the prompt message in the first interface) on the display screen 194 when the first time length described above is greater than the set time length threshold and the first time length is less than or equal to the reference display time length threshold described above, or when the first time length is less than or equal to the set time length threshold; until the display duration of the prompt message is greater than or equal to the preset display duration, the processor 110 switches from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface on the display screen 194, and the second interface no longer includes the prompt message.

In addition, the electronic device can also set corresponding preset display duration for each type of prompt message in advance, namely when the prompt message display duration reaches the corresponding preset display duration, the prompt message can also automatically disappear from the display screen. Usually, the set duration threshold is smaller than the reference display duration threshold, and the preset display duration is greater than the reference display duration threshold. For example, the set time length threshold is 500ms, the reference display time length threshold is 1s, and the preset display time length is 1.2 s.

For example, when the first time duration between the first touch operation of the user and the previous touch operation is short (for example, less than 500ms), the mobile phone continues to display the prompt message until the prompt message reaches the preset display time duration, and the prompt message automatically disappears from the interface. For another example, when the prompt message is an illustration type prompt message, the first time between the first touch operation and the previous touch operation of the mobile phone is longer than 500ms but shorter than the reference display time threshold by 1 second, so that the mobile phone continues to display the prompt message until the prompt message reaches the preset display time corresponding to the preset illustration type prompt message, and the prompt message automatically disappears from the interface.

Correspondingly, different types of prompt messages may also correspond to different preset display durations, for example, different preset display durations corresponding to different types of prompt messages may be as shown in table 2 below.

TABLE 2

Generally, values of different preset display durations corresponding to different types of prompt messages may also be obtained through experience, and may be preset in the internal memory 121 by a manufacturer before the electronic device leaves a factory, or may be manually set by a user after the electronic device leaves the factory, and when the user manually sets the values, the values may be input into the electronic device in various manners, such as in a voice control manner or a text input manner, and then the preset display duration input by the user is acquired by the processor 110 of the electronic device and stored in the internal memory 121, or the preset display duration manually set by the user may be stored in a remote third-party memory by the user.

In an alternative embodiment, the processor 110 in the electronic device may further receive at least two second touch operations of the user on the first interface after receiving the first touch operation through the display screen 194, where the second touch operations occur after the first time point described in step 202. The processor 110 determines a second time length between a third time and a first time of a first second touch operation of the received at least two second touch operations, and determines at least one third time length between a fourth time of an nth second touch operation of the received at least two second touch operations and a fifth time of an N-1 st second touch operation (where N continuously takes a natural number from 2, and a maximum value of N is a total number of times of occurrence of the second touch operations); when the second duration and each third duration are both less than or equal to the set duration threshold, the processor 110 switches from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface on the control display screen 194, and the second interface does not include the prompt information, so that a probability event that the prompt information is mistakenly eliminated due to the fact that the user continuously clicks the screen due to habit can be further avoided.

For example, after receiving a first touch operation of a user, the mobile phone further receives two consecutive second touch operations of the user on the first interface, where a time when the first second touch operation is detected is a second time, and a time when the second touch operation is detected is a third time. And when the electronic equipment determines that the second time between the second moment and the first moment is less than or equal to the preset time threshold, and the third time between the third moment and the second moment is less than or equal to the set time threshold, the electronic equipment switches from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface. That is, when the user touches the screen quickly and continuously, it may be considered that the user wants to interrupt the display of the prompt information, and therefore the electronic device may switch from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface when detecting that the user touches the screen quickly and continuously.

In order to more systematically describe the display method of the prompt information provided in the embodiments of the present application, the present implementation further provides a processing flow shown in fig. 7, and the specific steps are as follows.

Step 701, the electronic device displays a first interface. The first interface includes a prompt.

Exemplarily, the electronic device displays an interface as shown in (a) of fig. 3, and prompt information of a gesture operation manner is displayed on the interface.

In step 702, the electronic device receives a first touch operation of a user on a first interface.

For example, the first touch operation may be a click operation, a slide operation, or another type of touch operation, which is not limited in this application.

Step 703 is to determine a first duration between a second time and a first time of a last touch operation received by the electronic device before the first interface is displayed.

In step 704, the electronic device determines whether the first duration is greater than a set duration threshold, if so, step 705 is executed, otherwise, step 708 or step 713 is executed.

Step 705, the electronic device obtains the type of the prompt message, and determines a reference display duration threshold according to the type of the prompt message.

For example, if the type of the guidance information is an illustration type, the reference display time threshold is determined to be 1 second.

In step 706, the electronic device determines whether the first duration is greater than a reference display duration threshold, if so, step 707 is executed, and if not, step 713 is executed.

In step 707, the electronic device switches from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface. Wherein the prompt message is no longer included in the second interface.

In step 708, if the first duration is less than or equal to the set duration threshold, the electronic device further receives at least two second touch operations.

In step 709, the electronic device determines a second duration between a third time of a first second touch operation and a first time of the received at least two second touch operations, and determines a third duration between a fourth time of an N-1 th second touch operation and a fifth time of an nth second touch operation.

In step 710, the electronic device determines whether the second duration and the third duration are both less than or equal to a set duration threshold, if so, step 707 is executed, otherwise, step 711 is executed.

Step 711, the electronic device obtains the type of the prompt message, and determines a reference display duration threshold according to the type of the prompt message.

In step 712, the electronic device determines whether the second duration is greater than the reference display duration threshold and/or the third duration is greater than the reference display duration threshold, if so, step 707 is executed, otherwise, step 713 is executed.

Step 713, when the first duration is less than or equal to the set duration threshold, or less than or equal to the reference display duration threshold, the electronic device continues to display the first interface, or when the second duration and/or the third duration is less than or equal to the set duration threshold, the electronic device continues to display the first interface.

In step 714, the electronic device determines whether the display duration of the prompt message is greater than or equal to a set display duration. If yes, go to step 715, otherwise go back to step 713.

In step 715, the electronic device switches from displaying the first interface to displaying the second interface. Wherein the prompt message is no longer included in the second interface.
