The foldable display screen has two modes: an unfolded state and a folded state. The folding angle formed when the foldable display screen is folded is larger than a preset value and can be regarded as an unfolding state, and the folding angle formed when the foldable display screen is folded is smaller than the preset value and can be regarded as a folding state, and the preset value can be predefined, for example, 90 degrees, 80 degrees and the like. The bending angle may refer to an angle formed by a side of the foldable screen, which is not used for displaying contents, at a bending portion. In some embodiments, an angle sensor may be disposed at a bending position of the foldable display screen, and the electronic device may detect the bending angle through the angle sensor and may determine that the foldable display screen is in an unfolded state or a folded state according to the bending angle.

When the foldable display screen is in an unfolded state, a user interface provided by an operating system of the electronic device can be displayed in a full screen mode. The full screen display user interface may refer to that the user interface occupies the whole display area of the foldable display screen, or may refer to that the user interface occupies most of the display area of the display screen, for example, when the foldable display screen is a special-shaped cut screen (Notch screen), the middle part of the special-shaped cut screen displays the user interface, and when one side or two side edge parts are black, the foldable display screen may also be regarded as displaying the user interface in full screen.

When the foldable display screen is in a folded state, the electronic device may display the user interface provided by the operating system only on one of the display screens of the foldable display screen, or may display the user interface provided by the operating system of the electronic device on both display screens of the foldable display screen.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may transition from displaying the user interface full screen on the foldable display screen to displaying the user interface on one of the display screens on the foldable display screen when the foldable display screen transitions from the unfolded state to the folded state.

In one example, the electronic device obtains the current location as place C. Site C may be an office area. The user of the electronic device is informed through the historical operation record of the user, and historically, the user looks at the schedule every time the electronic device is at the place C. The electronic device may determine that the currently needed temporary task is to view a schedule.

In one example, the electronic device obtains the current location as location D. Site D may be a ticket office at an airport. The user of the electronic device is informed through the historical operation record of the user, and historically, the user checks the flight dynamics every time the electronic device is at the place 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. The site E may be a residential site of the user. The historical operation record of the user of the electronic equipment is used for knowing that the user operates the driving application (dripping and the like) to drive every time the electronic equipment is at the site E in the morning between 7:00 and 8:00. The electronic device may determine that the temporary task currently needed is to view a card waiting for a drive.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device receives the information, a temporary task may be determined that is currently needed. For example, when the electronic device receives a short message, it may determine that the currently required temporary task is to view the short message. For another example, when the electronic device receives an instant messaging message (e.g., a micro-message), it may determine that the temporary task currently needed 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 operation. For example, if a taxi is played by a taxi taking application (drop, etc.) before a preset length of time, it may be determined that the currently required temporary task may be to wait for a card to view the taxi.

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 temporary task currently required according to device characteristic information carried in the near field communication signal, where the device characteristic information is characteristic information used to transmit the near field communication signal. For example, the electronic device receives the bluetooth signal, and recognizes that the device transmitting the bluetooth signal is a subway gate through the device characteristic information of the bluetooth signal.

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

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

In some embodiments, when the electronic device determines that the temporary task currently needs to be completed, the application associated with the temporary task may be determined according to the determination. The application associated with the temporary task is an application that is available to complete the temporary task. For example, the related application of the scanning payment can be a payment bank, a WeChat payment, a cloud flash payment application, a mobile phone banking application, and the like, which are not listed again.

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 according to the determination, and a page associated with the temporary task in the associated application may be further determined. The page may be a running interface of the application associated with the temporary task. Taking temporary mission as an example of scanning payment, the electronic device may determine that the application associated with scanning payment is a payment type application, such as a payment treasures, a Hua-Chen wallet, etc., and may then further determine that the page associated with scanning payment is a payment code in the payment type application. Taking a temporary task as an example of scanning and entering, the electronic device may determine that an application associated with scanning and entering is a subway riding related application, and then may further determine that a page associated with scanning and entering is a subway riding code in the subway riding related application.

In this embodiment, for convenience of description, an application associated with a temporary task may be referred to as an associated application of 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 device, the associated page is a page of the associated application for completing the temporary task.

When a plurality of associated applications of the temporary task are installed on the electronic device, the electronic device can 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 an associated application from a plurality of associated applications according to a preset condition, and determine a page of the determined associated application for completing the temporary task as an associated page. The preset condition may be the frequency of use, or may be a recently used application, etc., which is not listed here.

It should be noted that, although step 500a is described first and then steps 500b and 502 are described, it is not necessary to describe that step 500a is performed before steps 500b and 502. Step 500a may be performed after steps 500b and 502, taking the temporary task of scanning payment and the cafe as an example, the electronic device may perform steps 500b and 502 after the user enters the cafe. While the user waits for the attendant to prepare coffee, the user may read an electronic book or watch video using the collapsible display screen 210. Step 500a may also be performed before step 500b and step 502, taking the temporary task of viewing a short message as an example, the electronic device may perform steps 500b and 502 when the user receives a short message while reading an electronic book using foldable display 210.

In step 504, when the electronic device transitions from the expanded configuration to the semi-collapsed configuration, the electronic device displays the temporary task-associated application or page on the secondary screen.

It will be readily appreciated that the electronic device transitions from the unfolded configuration to the semi-folded configuration, which corresponds to the foldable display (main screen) transitioning from the unfolded configuration to the semi-folded configuration.

When the electronic device transitions from the expanded configuration to the semi-collapsed configuration, the electronic device may recommend an application or page to the user via the secondary screen 220 for completing the temporary task association determined by the electronic device. As shown in fig. 6a and 6b, the secondary screen 220 faces the user when the user operates the electronic device shown in fig. 2a and 2b to transition it from the unfolded configuration to the semi-folded configuration. 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 in turn recommend a temporary task association 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 angle of the included angle between the first region 211 and the second region 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 auxiliary 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 via an angle sensor. And when the second angle is within the preset angle range, the electronic equipment recommends a temporary task association application or page to the user. In one example, the predetermined range may be between 0-45 degrees (excluding 0 degrees). In one example, the predetermined range may be between 0-30 degrees (excluding 0 degrees). In one example, the predetermined range may be between 10-30 degrees. Etc., and 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, so that the related temporary task is further performed, the exposure degree of the content displayed on the foldable display screen 210 can be reduced, and the possibility of revealing the privacy of the user is less.

In some embodiments, the collapsible display 210 is a touch display. It will be readily appreciated that when an object (e.g., a bar) 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 semi-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 area thereof with the touch display screen of the first region 211 may be referred to as a first contact area, and a contact area thereof with the touch display screen of the second region 212 may be referred to as a second contact area. In particular, the first contact area may be characterized by a first contact area and a first contact position of the touch display of the first area 211 and the second contact area may be characterized by a second contact area and a second contact position of the touch display of the second area 212. In general, the first contact region and the second contact region are symmetrical or substantially symmetrical, in particular, symmetrical about an angular bisector of the angle between the first region 211 and the second region 212. Therefore, the electronic device may 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 angular 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 illustrated to be in a semi-folded configuration.

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

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

In some embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 6b, the electronic device recommends the temporary task association application or page to the user through the secondary screen 220, specifically, displaying an icon of the application for completing the temporary task on the secondary screen 220. Specifically, when the electronic device determines the application associated with the temporary task in step 502, then the electronic device displays the application associated with the temporary task 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: in 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 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 of the application. In one example, the home page of the application may be a temporary task associated page, and the user clicks the icon of the application, so that the electronic device may display the temporary task associated page on the secondary screen 220. In one example, after entering the application's running interface, the user may further perform at least one operation to cause the electronic device to display a temporary task-associated page on the secondary screen 220.

The temporary task related page in step 506 is a page determined and displayed according to the operation of the user.

In one example of this embodiment, the temporary mission is exemplified as a scanning payment mission. Three payment applications may be set up 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: the first payment application icon, and the third payment application icon. In step 506, referring to fig. 6c, the user may select to click on the first payment application icon, so that the secondary screen 220 displays a payment code to perform the scanning payment task.

The first payment application, the first payment application and the third payment application are different payment applications, for example, the first payment application can be a payment treasury, the second payment application can be cloud flash payment, and the third payment application can be Huazha wallet.

In some embodiments, the electronic device recommends a temporary task association application or page to the user through the secondary screen 220, specifically, displaying the temporary task associated page 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) associated with the temporary task in the application. Taking the temporary mission as an example of scanning payment, at step 502, it may be determined that the application associated with scanning payment is a payment type application, such as a payment treasures, hua Cheng et, etc., and then it may be further determined that the page associated with scanning payment is a payment code in the payment type application.

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

In the embodiment, when the electronic device recommends temporary task related information to the user, the associated application icon does not need to be displayed first, and then the association is displayed according to the operation of the user; instead, the temporary task association page is directly displayed through the auxiliary screen 220 to perform the temporary task; therefore, user operation is saved, and the efficiency of completing temporary tasks is improved.

In some embodiments, 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 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 watch or browse the running interface of the current application when the electronic device resumes the expanded form.

In some embodiments, the foldable display screen 210 is a touch display screen, and 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, the foldable display screen 210 may be black, i.e., in an off state, for performing the temporary task. The touch components (e.g., touch sensors, pressure sensors) of the collapsible display screen 210 maintain an awake state or a state in which touch signals are detectable. When the touch assembly detects that the first region 211 and the second region 212 no longer sandwich the bar object, the electronic device may illuminate the foldable display screen 210 such that the foldable display screen 210 continues to display the running interface of the current application.

In some embodiments, foldable display screen 210 may be black, i.e., in an off state, while the electronic device is recommending temporary task related applications or pages to the user via secondary screen 220, and displaying the related pages for temporary tasks. The morphology of the electronic device may be identified by detecting the angle of the 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 transitioning from the semi-collapsed configuration to the expanded configuration, the electronic device may illuminate the collapsible display screen 210 such that the collapsible display screen 210 continues to display the running interface of the current application.

In one 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, the foldable display screen 210 may be black screen and its touch component also enters a sleep state, i.e., the touch component no longer detects a touch signal. In this example, it is only detected from the angle sensor whether the electronic device is switched from the semi-folded configuration to the unfolded configuration.

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

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

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

In step 700a, the electronic device is in an expanded configuration and its foldable display displays the running interface of the current application. Reference is made specifically to the above description of step 500a, and no further details are given here.

It is readily understood that the electronic device is in an expanded configuration relative to its foldable display (home screen).

In step 700b, the electronic device determines the temporary tasks that are currently needed. Reference is made specifically to the above description of step 500b, and no further description is given here.

In step 702, the electronic device determines an application associated with the temporary task. Reference is made specifically to the above description of step 502, and no further description is given here.

At step 704, the electronic device displays the temporary task related application on the assignable screen when the electronic device transitions from the expanded configuration to the collapsed configuration.

It will be readily appreciated that the electronic device transitions from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration, which corresponds to the foldable display (main screen) transitioning from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration.

As shown in fig. 8a and 8b, the secondary screen 220 faces the user when the user operates the electronic device shown in fig. 2a and 2b to transition it from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration. The user-oriented secondary screen 220 may be referred to as a user-oriented small screen. The electronic device may detect a morphological transition of the electronic device via 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 application of the temporary task association may be recommended to the user through the auxiliary screen 220. In particular, an icon of the temporary task-associated application may be displayed on the secondary screen 220.

When the electronic device is transitioned from the expanded configuration to the collapsed configuration, the electronic device may display a first interface on the secondary screen 220 and display icons of applications on the first interface. The first interface is an interface related to a running interface of the current application. An 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 the application in the left region of the first interface. In one example, the electronic device may display an icon of the application in a right region of the first interface. In one example, the electronic device may display an icon of the application in a top-level side area of the first interface. In one example, the electronic device may display an icon of the application on the bottom side of the first interface.

To minimize the impact of the icon on the display of interface elements on the first interface, the electronic device may zoom out the icon and display it as a small icon on one side of the first interface. In one example, as shown in fig. 8b, small icons 8b01, 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 icon of the corresponding application.

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

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

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

When the screen size of the first area 211 and the screen size of the sub screen 220 are the same, referring to fig. 8b, the first interface may be a first operation interface. The screen size may include an area of the screen, a ratio of a screen width (width) and a height (height), and the like. When the screen size of the first area 211 and the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220 are different, the electronic device may adjust the interface elements and/or the arrangement manner of the interface elements in the first operation interface according to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220, so as to adapt to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220. The interface element may be text, an image, 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 operation interface may be displayed on the auxiliary screen 220 after being scaled down in equal proportion, or some of the interface elements in the first operation interface may be displayed on the auxiliary screen 220, or the distance between the interface elements may be displayed on the auxiliary screen 220 after being scaled down.

In one example of these embodiments, the electronic device may display the first interface on the secondary screen 220 according to a second one of the currently applied running interfaces displayed by the collapsible display screen 210 that is displayed by the second area 212. When the screen size of the second region 212 and the screen size of the sub screen are the same, the first interface may be a second operation 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 manner of the interface elements in the second operation interface according to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220, so as to adapt to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220. The description of the electronic device adjusting the first operation interface may be referred to in the above, and will not be repeated here.

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 on the foldable display screen 210 according to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220, so as to adapt to the screen size of the auxiliary screen 220. The adjusted operation interface is then displayed as a first interface on the auxiliary screen 220. The adjusting operation interface may refer to the description of the adjusting the first interface of the electronic device, which is not repeated herein.

In some embodiments, the foldable display screen 210 is a touch display screen, and 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, the foldable display screen 210 may be black, i.e., in an off state, for performing the temporary task. The touch components (e.g., touch sensors, pressure sensors) of the collapsible display screen 210 maintain an awake state or a state in which touch signals are detectable. When the touch component detects a touch signal, indicating that the electronic device is no longer in a collapsed configuration, the electronic device may illuminate the collapsible display screen 210 such that the collapsible display screen 210 continues to display the running interface of the current application.

In some embodiments, foldable display screen 210 may be black, i.e., in an off state, while the electronic device is recommending temporary task related applications or pages to the user via secondary screen 220, and displaying the related pages for temporary tasks. The morphology of the electronic device may be identified by detecting the angle of the 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 semi-folded configuration, or detects that the electronic device is converted from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration, the electronic device may illuminate the foldable display screen 210, so that the foldable display screen 210 continues to display the running interface of the current application.

In one 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, the foldable display screen 210 may be black screen and its touch component also enters a sleep state. In this example, 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 semi-folded configuration may be detected based on the angle sensor alone.

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 temporary task associated page, and the user clicks the icon of the application, so that the electronic device may display the temporary task associated page on the secondary screen 220. In one example, after entering the application's running interface, the user may further perform at least one operation to cause the electronic device to display a temporary task-associated page on the secondary screen 220.

In some embodiments, the running interface of the temporary task associated application, such as the temporary task associated page, includes a back key. The user may click a back key to exit the running interface of the application associated with the temporary task to cause the secondary screen 220 to display the first interface again. When the user again restores the electronic device to the expanded information form, the collapsible 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 provided by the embodiment of the application, the temporary task can be completed rapidly under the folding state of the electronic equipment under the condition that the running interface of the current application is not exited, the user operation is facilitated, and the possibility of privacy disclosure of the user is reduced.

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

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

In step 900a, the electronic device is in an expanded configuration, and its foldable display displays the running interface of the current application. Reference is made specifically to the above description of step 500a, and no further details are given here.

It will be readily appreciated that the electronic device is in an expanded configuration, which corresponds to its foldable display screen being in an expanded configuration.

In step 900b, the electronic device determines the temporary tasks that are currently needed. Reference is made specifically to the above description of step 500b, and no further description is given here.

At step 902, the electronic device determines an application associated with the temporary task. Reference is made specifically to the above description of step 502, and no further description is given here.

In step 904, the electronic device displays the temporary task related application on an area a or an area B of the foldable display screen when the electronic device transitions from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration.

It will be readily appreciated that the switching of the electronic device from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration corresponds to the switching of its foldable display screen from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration.

As described above with respect to the electronic device shown in fig. 3a, 3B, and 3c, when the electronic device is in the folded configuration, the area a 301 and the area B302 are two outer sides of the electronic device, respectively, and the electronic device may display a first interface on the area a 301 or the area B302, 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 location of the icon on the first interface may refer to the description of step 704 above, and will not be described in detail herein.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may detect a morphological transition of the electronic device via an 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 the application on the first interface.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may obtain a third contact area and a third contact position of the user's finger pressing or touching the a-region 301, and obtain a fourth contact area and a fourth contact position of the user's finger pressing or touching the B-region 302. The electronic device may determine whether the foldable display screen 300 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, that is, determine whether the electronic device is converted into the folded configuration. It will be readily appreciated that, in general, when the electronic device shown in fig. 3a, 3b, and 3c is in a folded configuration, the manner in which the user holds the electronic device is: four fingers other than the thumb are in contact with the display screen (area a 301 or area B302) on one side of the electronic device, and the thumb is in contact with the display screen (area B302 or area a 301) on the other side of the electronic device. Therefore, the electronic equipment can judge whether the electronic equipment is in a folded state according to the contact area and the contact position on the display screens on the two sides of the electronic equipment.

In some embodiments, when the electronic device transitions from the expanded configuration to the collapsed configuration, the electronic device may obtain a third contact area of the a-region 301 and a 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 area 301. When the fourth contact area is smaller than the third contact area, the electronic device displays the first interface in the B area 302.

Referring to fig. 10b, generally, if a user holds the electronic device in a folded configuration, four fingers other than the thumb are in contact with the side of the electronic device facing away from the user, while the side facing the user is at most contacted by 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. Thus, it is possible that the electronic device can determine whether the user facing the a-region 301 or the B-region 302 by comparing the third contact area and the fourth contact area size of the B-region 302.

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

In this embodiment, the B area 302 is blacked out, and the a area 301 continues to display the running interface of the current application, so that the current application can be kept continuously in a running state, and when a temporary task is performed, 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 a first interface in the B region 302 of the foldable display screen and causes the a region 301 to be blacked out. Referring to fig. 10a and 10B, the first interface may be a running interface of the current application displayed in the B region 302 in the expanded configuration.

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