In one example, the electronic device obtains the current location as location D. The location D may be a ticket office at an airport. It is known from the user history operation log of the electronic device that historically the user views flight dynamics whenever the electronic device is at location D. The electronic device may determine that the temporary task currently needed is to view flight dynamics.

in one example, the electronic device obtains the current location as location E and the current time as being between 7:00-8:00 in the morning. Site E may be the user's residence. According to the historical operation records of the electronic equipment, the user operates the taxi taking application (dripping and the like) to take a taxi in the morning every time the electronic equipment is located at the place E and between 7:00 and 8: 00. The electronic device may determine that the current required provisional task is to view a taxi waiting card.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device receives the information, the temporary task currently needed may be determined. For example, when the electronic device receives a short message, it may determine that the currently required provisional task is to view the short message. For another example, when the electronic device receives an instant messaging message (e.g., a WeChat message), it may be determined that the current required provisional task is to view the instant messaging message.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may determine the temporary task currently needed based on the most recent user action. For example, if a taxi was taken by a taxi application (drip, etc.) before a preset length of time, it may be determined that the current required provisional task may be to view taxi waiting cards.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may receive a near field communication signal (e.g., a bluetooth signal, a Wi-Fi signal, an NFC signal, etc.), and determine a currently required temporary task according to device feature information carried in the near field communication signal, where the device feature information is feature information used for transmitting the near field communication signal. For example, the electronic device receives a bluetooth signal, and recognizes that the device transmitting the bluetooth signal is a subway gate through device characteristic information of the bluetooth signal.

In step 502, the electronic device determines an application or page associated with the temporary task.

After the electronic device determines a temporary task that needs to be completed currently, an application or a page associated with the temporary task may be determined.

In some embodiments, after the electronic device determines the temporary task that needs to be completed currently, the application associated with the temporary task may be determined. The application associated with the temporary task is an application that can be used to complete the temporary task. Taking scanning payment as an example, the associated applications may be a pay bank, a wechat payment, a cloud flash payment application, a mobile banking application, and the like, which are not listed one by one.

In some embodiments, after the electronic device determines a temporary task that needs to be completed currently, the electronic device may further determine a page associated with the temporary task in the associated application according to the application that is associated with the determined temporary task. The page may be a running interface of the application associated with the temporary task. Taking the temporary task as the scan payment, the electronic device may determine that the application associated with the scan payment is a payment-type application, such as a paypal, a huayiqiang, and the like, and then may further determine that the page associated with the scan payment is a payment code in the payment-type application. Taking the temporary task as a scan-in example, the electronic device may determine that the application associated with the scan-in is a subway ride related application, and then may further determine that the page associated with the scan-in is a subway ride code in the subway ride related application.

In this embodiment, for convenience of description, an application associated with the temporary task may be referred to as an application associated with the temporary task, and a page associated with the temporary task may be referred to as an associated page of the temporary task. When only one associated application of the temporary task is installed on the electronic equipment, the associated page is a page of the associated application for completing the temporary task.

When the electronic device is provided with a plurality of associated applications of the temporary task, the electronic device may select one associated application from any of the plurality of associated applications, and determine a page of the selected associated application for completing the temporary task as an associated page. The electronic device may also determine a related application from the multiple related applications according to a preset condition, and determine a page of the determined related application for completing the temporary task as a related page. The preset condition may be a frequency of use, a recently used application, or the like, which is not listed here.

It should be noted that although the above describes step 500a and then steps 500b and 502, it is not necessary to say that step 500a is performed before steps 500b and 502. Step 500a may be performed after steps 500b and 502, for example, the temporary task is a scanning payment and the place is a cafe, and the electronic device may perform steps 500b and 502 after the user enters the cafe. While the user waits for the attendant to prepare the coffee, the user may use the foldable display screen 210 to read an e-book or view a video. Step 500a may also be performed before step 500b and step 502, for example, if the temporary task is to view a short message, and the user reads an electronic book using the foldable display 210, the electronic device receives the short message, and then the electronic device may perform steps 500b and 502.

And step 504, when the electronic equipment is converted from the unfolding mode to the semi-folding mode, the electronic equipment displays the application or the page related to the temporary task on the auxiliary screen.

It is easy to understand that the electronic device is converted from the unfolded configuration to the half-folded configuration, which is equivalent to the foldable display screen (main screen) thereof being converted from the unfolded configuration to the half-folded configuration.

When the electronic device transitions from the unfolded configuration to the semi-folded configuration, the electronic device may recommend an application or page to the user through the secondary screen 220 for completing the temporary task association determined by the electronic device. As shown in fig. 6a and 6b, when the user operates the electronic device shown in fig. 2a and 2b to convert it from the unfolded configuration to the semi-folded configuration, the secondary screen 220 faces the user. The user-oriented secondary screen 220 may be referred to as a user-oriented small screen.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may detect a modality conversion of the electronic device through the angle sensor, and then recommend a temporary task-related application or page to the user through the secondary screen 220. As described above with respect to the electronic device shown in fig. 2a and 2b, when the angle sensor detects that the included angle between the first area 211 and the second area 212 is changed from the first angle to the second angle, the electronic device may recommend an application or page associated with the temporary task to the user through the secondary screen 220.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may detect a second angle of the included angle between the first region 211 and the second region 212 by an angle sensor. And when the second angle is within the preset angle range, the electronic equipment recommends the temporary task associated application or page to the user. In one example, the predetermined range may be between 0 and 45 degrees (excluding 0 degrees). In one example, the predetermined range may be between 0 and 30 degrees (excluding 0 degrees). In one example, the predetermined range may be between 10-30 degrees. Etc., which are not listed here. In this embodiment, when the second angle of the included angle between the first area 211 and the second area 212 is within the preset angle range, the temporary task-related application or page is recommended to the user, and then the related temporary task is performed, so that the exposure degree of the content displayed by the foldable display screen 210 can be reduced, and the possibility of revealing the privacy of the user is reduced.

In some embodiments, foldable display screen 210 is a touch display screen. It will be readily appreciated that when an object (e.g., a strip) is sandwiched between the touch display screen of the first region 211 and the touch display screen of the second region 212, the electronic device is in a semi-folded configuration, i.e., the foldable display screen 210 is in a semi-folded configuration. Therefore, whether the electronic device is in the half-folded state can be determined by sandwiching an object between the touch display screen of the first region 211 and the touch display screen of the second region 212. For an object sandwiched between the touch display screen of the first region 211 and the touch display screen of the second region 212, a contact region thereof with the touch display screen of the first region 211 may be referred to as a first contact region, and a contact region thereof with the touch display screen of the second region 212 may be referred to as a second contact region. In particular, the first contact area may be characterized by a first contact area and a first contact location of the touch display screen of the first area 211, and the second contact area may be characterized by a second contact area and a second contact location of the touch display screen of the second area 212. In general, the first contact area and the second contact area are symmetrical or substantially symmetrical, in particular, the first contact area and the second contact area are symmetrical with an angle bisector of the angle between the first area 211 and the second area 212 as symmetry axis. Therefore, the electronic device can acquire the first contact area and the second contact area and determine whether the first contact area and the second contact area are symmetrical or substantially symmetrical about an angle bisector of an included angle between the first area 211 and the second area 212, and if the two areas are symmetrical or substantially symmetrical, the electronic device is in a half-folded configuration.

In one example, taking the example that the user's finger is between the first area 211 and the second area 212, the electronic device may obtain a first contact area and a first contact position where the finger presses or touches the first area 211 to obtain a first contact area. The electronic device may acquire a second contact area and a second contact position where the finger presses or touches the second area 212 to obtain a second contact area. Furthermore, the electronic device may determine whether the first contact area and the second contact area are symmetrical or substantially symmetrical about an angle bisector of an included angle between the first area 211 and the second area 212, and if the first contact area and the second contact area are symmetrical or substantially symmetrical, the electronic device is in a half-folded configuration.

when the bar-shaped object is sandwiched between the first region 211 and the second region 212, the electronic device recommends a temporary task-related application or page to the user through the secondary screen 220.

In some embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 6b, the electronic device recommends the temporary task associated application or page to the user through the secondary screen 220. in particular, an icon of the application for completing the temporary task is displayed on the secondary screen 220. Specifically, when the electronic device determines the temporary task associated application in step 502, the electronic device displays the temporary task associated application on the secondary screen in step 504. Referring to fig. 6b, the electronic device may specifically display an icon of the application on the secondary screen.

In this embodiment, the method further comprises: step 506, when the electronic device displays the application associated with the temporary task on the auxiliary screen display, the electronic device receives a first operation aiming at the application associated with the temporary task, and the first operation is used for indicating the electronic device to display a page associated with the temporary task.

specifically, the user may enter the running interface of the application by clicking an icon of the application. In one example, the home page of the application may be a page associated with the temporary task, and the user clicks an icon of the application, so that the electronic device displays the page associated with the temporary task on the secondary screen 220. In one example, after entering the running interface of the application, the user may further perform at least one step to cause the electronic device to display a page associated with the temporary task on the secondary screen 220.

It should be noted that the page associated with the temporary task in step 506 is a page determined and displayed according to the operation of the user.

In one example of this embodiment, the provisional task is taken as a scanning payment task as an example. Three payment applications may be set to be installed on the electronic device: a first payment application, a third payment application. Referring to FIG. 6b, in step 504, the electronic device may display on the secondary screen 220: a first payment application icon, and a third payment application icon. In step 506, referring to FIG. 6c, the user may select to click on the first payment application icon, which in turn causes the secondary screen 220 to display the payment code for the scanning payment task.

The first payment application, and the third payment application are different payment applications, for example, the first payment application may be a paypal, the second payment application may be a cloud payment, and the third payment application may be a hua-wallet.

In some embodiments, the electronic device recommends the temporary task related application or page to the user through the secondary screen 220, specifically, the temporary task related page is displayed on the secondary screen 220. The page may be a running interface of the application associated with the temporary task. In this embodiment, in step 502, the electronic device may first determine an application associated with the temporary task, and then determine a page (running interface) in the application associated with the temporary task. Taking the temporary task as the scan payment, in step 502, the application associated with the scan payment may be determined to be a payment-class application, such as a paypal, a huayiqiang, and the like, and then, the page associated with the scan payment may be further determined to be a payment code in the payment-class application.

When the electronic device determines the associated page for the temporary task in step 502, the electronic device may display the associated page for the temporary task on the secondary screen in step 504. Taking scanning in as an example, the associated page may specifically be a subway ride code applied to a subway ride. Taking scanning payment as an example, the associated page may specifically be a payment code of the payment-type application.

In the embodiment, when the electronic equipment recommends the temporary task related information to the user, the associated application icons do not need to be displayed firstly, and then the association is displayed according to the operation of the user; but directly displays the temporary task association page through the auxiliary screen 220 to perform the temporary task; therefore, user operation is saved, and the efficiency of completing the temporary task is improved.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device recommends the temporary task associated application or page to the user through the auxiliary screen 220 and displays the associated page to perform the temporary task, the foldable display screen may continue to display the running interface of the current application, so that after the temporary task is completed, the user may continue to view or browse the running interface of the current application when the user restores the electronic device to the expanded state.

in some embodiments, the foldable display screen 210 is a touch display screen, and when the electronic device recommends a temporary task associated application or page to the user through the auxiliary screen 220 and displays the associated page to perform a temporary task, the foldable display screen 210 may be blank, i.e., in an off state. The touch components (e.g., touch sensors, pressure sensors) of the foldable display screen 210 maintain a wake-up state or a state in which a touch signal can be detected. When the touch assembly detects that the bar-shaped object is no longer sandwiched between the first region 211 and the second region 212, the electronic device may light up the foldable display screen 210, so that the foldable display screen 210 continues to display the running interface of the current application.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device recommends a temporary task associated application or page to the user through the secondary screen 220 and displays the associated page for a temporary task, the foldable display screen 210 may be blank, i.e., in an off state. The form of the electronic device may be recognized by detecting an angle of an included angle between the first region 211 and the second region 212 by an angle sensor. When the angle sensor detects that the electronic device is converted from the semi-folded configuration to the unfolded configuration, the electronic device may light up the foldable display screen 210, so that the foldable display screen 210 continues to display the running interface of the current application.

In an example of these embodiments, if the foldable display screen is a touch display screen, when the electronic device recommends a temporary task related application or page to the user through the auxiliary screen 220 and displays the related page to perform a temporary task, the foldable display screen 210 may be turned off and its touch component also enters a sleep state, that is, the touch component no longer detects a touch signal. In this example, whether the electronic device is converted from the half-folded configuration to the unfolded configuration is detected only from the angle sensor.

by the screen display method, the temporary task can be quickly completed in the semi-folding state of the electronic equipment under the condition that the running interface of the current application is not exited, so that the operation of a user is facilitated, and the possibility of privacy disclosure of the user is reduced.

Next, taking the electronic device shown in fig. 2a and 2b as an execution subject as an example, with reference to fig. 7 and 8, another screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described. Fig. 8 includes fig. 8a and 8 b.

Referring to fig. 7, the method includes the following steps.

Step 700a, the electronic device is in an unfolded state, and the foldable display screen of the electronic device displays an operation interface of the current application. Reference may be made to the above description of step 500a, which is not described herein again.

It is readily understood that the electronic device is in an unfolded configuration, with respect to its foldable display screen (home screen).

In step 700b, the electronic device determines a temporary task currently needed. Reference may be made to the above description of step 500b, which is not described herein again.

In step 702, the electronic device determines an application associated with the temporary task. Specifically, reference may be made to the above description of step 502, which is not described herein again.

Step 704, when the electronic device is converted from the unfolded state to the folded state, the electronic device displays the temporary task-associated application on the auxiliary screen.

It is easy to understand that the electronic device is converted from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration, which is equivalent to the foldable display screen (main screen) thereof being converted from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration.

As shown in fig. 8a and 8b, when the user operates the electronic device shown in fig. 2a and 2b to convert it from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration, the secondary screen 220 faces the user. The user-oriented secondary screen 220 may be referred to as a user-oriented small screen. The electronic device may detect a modality conversion of the electronic device through the angle sensor. As described above with respect to the electronic device shown in fig. 2a and 2b, when the angle sensor detects that the angle of the included angle between the first area 211 and the second area 212 is changed from the first angle to the third angle, the temporary task-related application may be recommended to the user through the secondary screen 220. Specifically, an icon of an application associated with the provisional task may be displayed on the secondary screen 220.

When the electronic device transitions from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration, the electronic device may display a first interface on the secondary screen 220 and an icon of an application on the first interface. The first interface is an interface related to a running interface of the current application. The icon may be displayed on one side of the first interface. In one example, as shown in FIG. 8b, the electronic device may display an icon of an application in a left area of the first interface. In one example, the electronic device can display an icon of an application in a right area of the first interface. In one example, the electronic device may display an icon of an application in a top-level side area of the first interface. In one example, the electronic device may display an icon of an application on a bottom side of the first interface.

To minimize the impact of the icon on the display of the interface elements on the first interface, the electronic device may reduce the icon to be displayed on one side of the first interface in the form of a small icon. In one example, as shown in fig. 8b, small icons such as small icon 8b01, small icon 8b02, etc. may be displayed on the first interface. The small icons such as the small icon 8b01 and the small icon 8b02 are specifically icons obtained by reducing the size of the icon of the corresponding application.

In one example, the electronic device may display an icon of the application on the first interface in the form of a floating icon, wherein the floating icon may be designed to be semi-transparent to influence the display of the first interface as little as possible.

In some embodiments, the first interface may be at least part of an interface of a running interface of a current application on the foldable display screen 210.

In one example of these embodiments, as shown in fig. 8a and 8b, the electronic device may display the first interface on the secondary screen 220 according to the first execution interface displayed in the first area 211 of the execution interfaces of the current application displayed by the foldable display screen 210.

When the screen size of the first region 211 and the screen size of the secondary screen 220 are the same, referring to fig. 8b, the first interface may be a first run interface. The screen size may include an area of the screen, a ratio of a width (width) and a height (height) of the screen, and the like. When the screen size of the first area 211 is different from the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220, the electronic device may adjust the interface elements and/or the arrangement of the interface elements in the first operation interface according to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220 to adapt to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220. The interface elements may be text, images, etc. For example, if the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220 is smaller than the first area 211, the interface elements in the first running interface may be scaled down and displayed on the auxiliary screen 220, or a part of the interface elements in the first running interface may be displayed on the auxiliary screen 220, or the intervals between the interface elements may be scaled down and displayed on the auxiliary screen 220.

In one example of these embodiments, the electronic device may display the first interface on the secondary screen 220 according to a second run interface displayed in the second region 212 of the run interface of the current application displayed by the foldable display screen 210. When the screen size of the second region 212 and the screen size of the secondary screen are the same, the first interface may be a second execution interface. When the screen size of the second area 212 is different from the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220, the electronic device may adjust the interface elements and/or the arrangement of the interface elements in the second operation interface according to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220 to adapt to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220. Reference may be specifically made to the above description of the first operation interface adjustment for the electronic device, and details are not described here again.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may adjust the interface elements or the arrangement of the interface elements in the running interface of the current application displayed by the foldable display screen 210 according to the screen size of the secondary screen 220 to adapt to the screen size of the secondary screen 220. The adjusted execution interface is then displayed as a first interface on the secondary screen 220. For adjusting the interface elements or the arrangement of the interface elements in the running interface, reference may be made to the above description of adjusting the first interface of the electronic device, and details are not described here again.

In some embodiments, the foldable display screen 210 is a touch display screen, and when the electronic device recommends a temporary task associated application or page to the user through the auxiliary screen 220 and displays the associated page to perform a temporary task, the foldable display screen 210 may be blank, i.e., in an off state. The touch components (e.g., touch sensors, pressure sensors) of the foldable display screen 210 maintain a wake-up state or a state in which a touch signal can be detected. When the touch component detects the touch signal, which indicates that the electronic device is no longer in the folded state, the electronic device may light up the foldable display screen 210, so that the foldable display screen 210 continues to display the running interface of the current application.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device recommends a temporary task associated application or page to the user through the secondary screen 220 and displays the associated page for a temporary task, the foldable display screen 210 may be blank, i.e., in an off state. The form of the electronic device may be recognized by detecting an angle of an included angle between the first region 211 and the second region 212 by an angle sensor. When the angle sensor detects that the electronic device is converted from the folded configuration to the half-folded configuration, or detects that the electronic device is converted from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration, the electronic device may light up the foldable display screen 210, so that the foldable display screen 210 continues to display the running interface of the current application.

In an example of these embodiments, if the foldable display screen is a touch display screen, when the electronic device recommends a temporary task-related application or page to the user through the auxiliary screen 220 and displays the related page to perform a temporary task, the foldable display screen 210 may be blank and its touch components may also enter a sleep state. In this example, it may be detected whether the electronic device is converted from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration or whether the electronic device is converted from the folded configuration to the half-folded configuration only from the angle sensor.

In step 706, the electronic device receives a first operation for the application associated with the temporary task, where the first operation is used to instruct the electronic device to display a page associated with the temporary task.

Specifically, the user may enter the running interface of the application by clicking on an icon (or small icon) of the application. In one example, the home page of the application may be a page associated with the temporary task, and the user clicks an icon of the application, so that the electronic device displays the page associated with the temporary task on the secondary screen 220. In one example, after entering the running interface of the application, the user may further perform at least one step to cause the electronic device to display a page associated with the temporary task on the secondary screen 220.

In some embodiments, the running interface of the temporary task associated application, such as a temporary task associated page, includes a back key. The user may click the back key to exit the running interface of the application associated with the temporary task, so that the secondary screen 220 displays the first interface again. When the user restores the electronic device to the expanded information form again, the foldable display screen 210 continues to display the running interface of the current application, so that the user can continue to view or browse the running interface of the current application.

By the screen display method, the temporary task can be quickly completed in the folding state of the electronic equipment under the condition that the running interface of the current application is not quitted, so that the operation of a user is facilitated, and the possibility of privacy disclosure of the user is reduced.

Next, taking the electronic device shown in fig. 3a, 3b and 3c as an execution subject as an example, with reference to fig. 9 and 10, another screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described. Fig. 10 includes fig. 10a and 10 b.

Referring to fig. 9, the method includes the following steps.

Step 900a, the electronic device is in an unfolded state, and the foldable display screen of the electronic device displays the running interface of the current application. Reference may be made to the above description of step 500a, which is not described herein again.

It is easy to understand that the electronic device is in the unfolded configuration, which is equivalent to the foldable display screen in the unfolded configuration.

In step 900b, the electronic device determines the temporary task currently needed. Reference may be made to the above description of step 500b, which is not described herein again.

In step 902, the electronic device determines an application associated with the temporary task. Specifically, reference may be made to the above description of step 502, which is not described herein again.

Step 904, the electronic device displays the temporary task associated application on an a-area or a B-area of the foldable display screen when the electronic device is converted from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration.

It is easy to understand that the electronic device is converted from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration, which is equivalent to the foldable display screen being converted from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration.

as described above for the electronic device shown in fig. 3a, 3B and 3c, when the electronic device is in the folded configuration, the a area 301 and the B area 302 are two outer side surfaces of the electronic device, respectively, and the electronic device may display a first interface on the a area 301 or the B area 302, and display an icon of an application on the first interface. The first interface is an interface related to a running interface of the current application.

The position of the icon on the first interface can be referred to the above description of step 704, and will not be described herein.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may detect a modality conversion of the electronic device through the angle sensor. When the angle sensor detects that the angle of the included angle between the a-area 301 and the B-area 302 is converted from the angle corresponding to the unfolded configuration to the angle corresponding to the folded configuration, the electronic device may display a first interface on the a-area 301 or the B-area 302, and display an icon of an application on the first interface.

in some embodiments, the electronic device may acquire a third contact area and a third contact location where the user's finger presses or touches the a-region 301, and acquire a fourth contact area and a fourth contact location where the user's finger presses or touches the B-region 302. The electronic device may determine whether the foldable display 300 is converted into the folded configuration, i.e., whether the electronic device is converted into the folded configuration, according to the third contact area, the third contact position, the fourth contact area, and the fourth contact position. It is easy to understand that, in general, when the electronic device shown in fig. 3a, 3b, and 3c is in the folded configuration, the way for the user to hold the electronic device is: four fingers except the thumb are in contact with the display screen (a-area 301 or B-area 302) on one side of the electronic device, and the thumb is in contact with the display screen (B-area 302 or a-area 301) on the other side of the electronic device. Therefore, the electronic device can judge whether the electronic device is in the folding state according to the contact area and the contact position on the display screens on the two sides of the electronic device.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device transitions from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration, the electronic device may acquire the third contact area of the a-region 301 and the fourth contact area of the B-region 302 and compare the magnitudes of the third contact area and the fourth contact area. When the third contact area is smaller than the fourth contact area, the electronic device displays a first interface in the a-region 301. When the fourth contact area is less than the third contact area, the electronic device displays a first interface in the B region 302.

Referring to fig. 10b, generally, if the user holds the electronic device in the folded configuration, the four fingers except the thumb are in contact with the side of the electronic device away from the user, and the side facing the user is at most in contact with the thumb. Obviously, the area of the four fingers contacting the electronic device is larger than the area of the thumb contacting the electronic device. Therefore, the electronic device may determine whether the a-region 301 or the B-region 302 faces the user by comparing the third contact area with the fourth contact area size of the B-region 302.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device is converted from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration, the electronic device displays the first interface in the a-region 301 of the foldable display screen and causes the B-region 302 to be blacked out. The first interface may be a running interface of the current application displayed in the a-area 301 in the expanded configuration.

In this embodiment, the B area 302 is blank, and the a area 301 continues to display the running interface of the current application, so that the current application can be continuously kept in the running state, and when a temporary task is performed, the exposure of information on the B area 302 is avoided and energy consumption is saved.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device transitions from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration, the electronic device displays the first interface in the B-region 302 of the foldable display screen and causes the a-region 301 to be blacked out.
