Description

Application opening method in folding screen equipment and related device

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to an application opening method and a related device in folding screen equipment.

Background

Compared with the traditional screen, the flexible display screen has the characteristics of strong flexibility and folding. For the folding screen device, due to the configuration of the flexible display screen, the flexible display screen can be switched between the folding state and the unfolding state, so that the folding screen device can be switched between the partial display and the full-screen display.

After the user unfolds the flexible display screen to achieve full-screen display, the folded-screen device may launch an application on the flexible display screen in response to user operation. However, some applications tend to take longer to start. For example, game applications and video playing applications are often started at a slow speed, which affects user experience. In addition, when the flexible display screen of the folding screen device is switched from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration, the position of the application icon displayed on the flexible display screen may be changed. Therefore, the user is not facilitated to find the application icon and open the application, and the operation convenience is reduced.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application opening method and the related device in the folding screen device can realize that the application is started in advance before the flexible display screen is opened to the unfolding state. Therefore, the time occupied by the application starting after the flexible display screen is in the unfolded state is shortened, and the convenience of the application starting is improved.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an application opening method, where the method is applied to an electronic device including a flexible display screen, and the method includes: the flexible display screen of the electronic device is in a folded configuration; the electronic device detects that the flexible display screen is unfolded from the folded state by a first angle; and the flexible display screen pauses at the first angle for a time greater than or equal to a first time threshold; the electronic device starts a first application or the electronic device starts a first capability.

Implementing the method provided in the first aspect, the electronic device starts the first application or starts the first capability when detecting that the flexible display is stopped at the first angle exceeding the first time threshold. In this way, a pre-launch application or pre-launch capability may be implemented before the flexible display is opened to the expanded configuration. Therefore, the time occupied by application or capability starting after the flexible display screen is in the unfolded state is shortened, and the experience of a user in using the folding screen device is improved. In addition, the application or the capability does not need to be started by manual operation of a user, and convenience of starting the application and the capability is improved.

For example, the electronic device detects that the open angle of the flexible display screen remains at 120 ° for more than 0.5 seconds, the electronic device launches the B-game application. The electronic equipment can finish starting the B game application after the flexible display screen is unfolded to the unfolding state by utilizing the time of the unfolding process, so that the time occupied by starting the B game application after the flexible display screen is in the unfolding state is reduced, and the experience of a user in using the folding screen equipment is improved. In addition, the user does not need to manually click the icon of the game application B to start, and the convenience of the application is improved.

The electronic equipment can detect data through the acceleration sensor and the gyroscope sensor to calculate the opening angle of the flexible display screen. The electronic device may also determine that the flexible display screen is in the folded configuration according to the opening angle. For example, when the opening angle of the flexible display screen is 0 to 3 degrees, the flexible display screen is determined to be in a folding state.

In this embodiment, the first time threshold may be determined by the electronic device acquiring a plurality of times when the user holds the flexible display screen at one opening angle, and then determining the plurality of times according to the acquired times.

With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, the electronic device launches a first application, including: the electronic equipment starts a first application and displays a user interface of the first application on the flexible display screen in a full screen mode or in a local mode.

When displayed in full screen, the user interface may occupy the display area of the flexible display screen except for the navigation bar and the status bar. In another possible implementation manner, when the display is full-screen, the user interface occupies a display area of the flexible display screen, and may include a navigation bar and a status bar. When partially displayed, the user interface may not fill the display area of the flexible display screen other than the navigation bar and the status bar.

In some embodiments of the present application, if the first application has been running in the background before being deployed to the first angle, the electronic device displays a user interface of the first application on the flexible display screen without launching the first application.

With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, after the electronic device launches the first application, the method further includes: when the flexible display screen is detected to be in the unfolded state, the electronic device displays the user interface of the first application on the flexible display screen in a full-screen mode or a partial mode.

The electronic device starts the first application and displays the user interface of the first application when detecting that the flexible display screen is stopped at the first angle and exceeds the first time threshold, so that the application can be started in advance and the user interface of the application can be displayed before the flexible display screen is opened to the unfolding state. Therefore, the time occupied by application starting and displaying after the flexible display screen is in the unfolded state is shortened, and the experience of a user in using the folding screen device is improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, after the electronic device launches the first application, the method further includes: the electronic equipment detects that the flexible display screen is unfolded at a second angle, and the time of pause of the flexible display screen at the second angle is greater than or equal to a second time threshold; wherein the second angle is greater than the first angle, and the second time threshold is the same as or different from the first time threshold; the electronic device launches a second application, the second application being different from the first application, or launches a second capability, the second capability being different from the first capability.

With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, after the electronic device starts the second application, the method further includes: the electronic equipment displays the user interface of the second application on the flexible display screen and runs the first application in a background; or the electronic equipment displays the user interfaces of the first application and the second application partially or completely on the flexible display screen.

The first application and the second application are pre-launched before the flexible display is opened to the expanded configuration. In this way, the time taken for the application to start after the flexible display is in the unfolded configuration may be reduced. In addition, the user does not need to manually find and touch the icons of the first application and the second application, and the convenience of starting the applications is improved.

After the first application runs in the background, the first application is started and is not closed by the electronic equipment. In response to an operation (e.g., a touch operation on a gallery icon) of opening the first application by the user, the electronic device may display a user interface of the first application with the first application running in the background without restarting the first application.

In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device may close the first application executed in the background when detecting that the running memory remaining amount is smaller than the set threshold.

With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, after the electronic device displays the user interface of the second application on the flexible display screen and runs the first application in the background, the method further includes: the electronic equipment displays first prompt information, and the first prompt information is used for prompting that the first application runs in the background.

In the split-screen display state, the user can operate the user interface of the first application and the user interface of the second application, and the electronic device can respond. For example, the first application is a gallery application, and in response to a touch operation applied to a thumbnail on a user interface of the gallery application, the electronic device may display a picture corresponding to the thumbnail.

(2) The electronic equipment displays the user interface of the first application and the user interface of the second application on the flexible display screen in a stacking mode. In response to a detected user operation acting on one of the user interfaces, for example, a user operation acting on the user interface of the first application, the electronic device may display the user interface of the first application full screen.

In one possible implementation, the flexible display may be in an unlocked state in the folded configuration.

In a possible implementation manner, the flexible display screen of the electronic device can be in a screen locking state in the folded state.

After being adjusted to the mute mode, the electronic device may not ring upon receiving incoming calls and information. The ringing may not be performed when the notification message of the application is received. The alarm clock of the electronic device may not ring when adjusted to the mute mode.

After being adjusted to the eye-protecting mode, the electronic equipment can reduce the blue light component of the image displayed by the display screen and increase the yellow light component so as to change the tone of the image displayed by the screen.

Detailed Description

The terminology used in the following embodiments of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. As used in the specification of the present application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the listed items.

First, some concepts related to the flexible display screen in the embodiments of the present application are described with reference to the drawings, including an open angle, a folded configuration, an unfolded configuration, a partial display, a full screen display, and an open angle pause of the flexible display screen.

Fig. 1a to fig. 1d are schematic structural diagrams of a flexible display screen in a folding screen device according to an embodiment of the present application. The flexible display screen application and an electronic device.

(1) Opening angle

As shown in fig. 1a, the flexible display screen may comprise an a-screen and a B-screen. The screen A and the screen B are connected through a bending part. On the flexible display screen, the A screen and the B screen can be folded in half through the bending part. The folding state is taken as a reference state, and the angle of the plane where the A screen is located and the plane where the B screen is located, which rotates by taking the bending part as an axis, can be called as the opening angle of the flexible display screen.

In the embodiment of the application, the opening angle of the flexible display screen can be between 0 degree and 180 degrees, and can also be between 0 degree and 360 degrees.

(2) Unfolding form, folding form, local display and full screen display

In the embodiment of the present application, the flexible display screen may include at least two physical forms: an expanded configuration, a folded configuration, and a stent configuration.

The flexible display shown in fig. 1a is in an unfolded configuration. In the unfolded configuration, the opening angle of the flexible display is 180 ° ± β. Namely, the A screen and the B screen are in the same plane, and the A screen and the B screen are spread and distributed. The A screen and the B screen form a continuous display area through a bending part. The electronic equipment can display in a display area formed by the A screen and the B screen. And in the state, the electronic equipment displays the full screen. Where β is a non-negative angle, e.g., 2 °, 0 °. In the embodiment of the present application, the full-screen display described in the foregoing and following text refers to that the electronic device displays in a display area formed by the a screen and the B screen when the flexible display screen is in the unfolded state. When displayed in full screen, the user interface may occupy the display area of the flexible display screen except for the navigation bar and the status bar. In another possible implementation manner, when the display is full-screen, the user interface occupies the display area of the flexible display screen, and may include a navigation bar and a status bar.

The flexible display shown in fig. 1b and 1c is in a folded configuration. As shown in fig. 1b, in the folded configuration, the opening angle of the flexible display is 0 ° + γ, e.g. the opening angle is 0 °. Where γ is a non-negative angle value, e.g., 3 °, 0 °. When the opening angle is 0 degrees, namely the flexible display screen is in a folding state, the electronic equipment can perform local display, exemplarily, only the display is performed in the A screen, and the display is not performed in the B screen. Under the folding state, the plane where the A screen is located is parallel to the plane where the B screen is located, and the A screen and the B screen are overlapped. When displayed partially, the user interface may not fill the display area of the flexible display screen other than the navigation bar and the status bar.

Not limited to an opening angle of 0 ° + γ, the opening angle of the flexible display screen may also be 360 ° - δ in the folded configuration, as shown in fig. 1 c. Where δ is a non-negative angle value, e.g., 1 °, 0 °. When the opening angle is 0 degrees plus gamma in the folding state, the opening angle of the flexible display screen is gradually increased until the opening angle is increased to 180 degrees plus or minus beta in the unfolding process of the flexible display screen from the folding state. When the opening angle under the folding state is 360 degrees to delta, the opening angle is gradually reduced until the opening angle is reduced to 180 degrees +/-beta in the process that the flexible display screen is unfolded from the folding state.

The opening angle of the flexible display shown in fig. 1d is alpha. The opening angle is an angle of rotation about the bent portion as an axis between a plane on which the a screen is located and a plane on which the B screen is located in the reference state in the folded state shown in fig. 1B.

In the embodiment of the present application, during the process of unfolding the flexible display screen from the folded configuration, the state of the flexible display screen before being deviated from the folded configuration and unfolded to the unfolded configuration may be referred to as a bracket configuration. An example of a stent configuration is shown in the example of FIG. 1 d. Illustratively, in stent morphology, the opening angle α can range from γ < α < 180 ° - β, e.g., the opening angle α can include 30 °, 45 °, 90 °, 150 °, etc. in stent morphology. The value range of the opening angle alpha can also comprise 180 degrees plus beta < alpha < 360 degrees-delta, and for example, the opening angle alpha under the bracket form can also comprise 195 degrees, 225 degrees, 300 degrees, 350 degrees and the like.

(3) At rest in the open angular position

In this embodiment, when it is detected that the time for which the opening angle of the flexible display screen is maintained at the first angle is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the electronic device may determine that the flexible display screen is paused at a position where the opening angle is the first angle. Wherein, the physical form of the flexible display when the opening angle is the first angle can be a bracket form. An example of determining the first time threshold is described below.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the opening angle of the flexible display screen is maintained at the first angle for less than 0.3 seconds, the user may clearly perceive the pause, and therefore, the first time threshold may be greater than or equal to 0.3 seconds.

In addition, the average time consumed in the process of unfolding the flexible display screen from the folding state to the unfolding state can be obtained by a user operation system. The first time threshold may be less than the average time. Specifically, the time consumed by each of the N test persons in the M unfolding processes may be counted, and an average value of the time consumed by the N × M unfolding processes may be calculated to obtain an average time, for example, the average time is 1.5 seconds. The first time threshold may be less than or equal to 1.5 seconds.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the value range of the first time threshold may be set to [0.3s, 1.5s ], for example, the first time threshold is 0.5 s. The first time threshold is not limited to the above value range, and may also be other values, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, the first time threshold may be determined by the electronic device by acquiring a plurality of times that the user holds at one opening angle of the flexible display screen and then according to the acquired plurality of times. Specifically, on a user interface of the electronic device (for example, on an interface corresponding to an entry of the system setting interface), a prompt may be displayed: please unfold the mobile phone from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration and pause in the middle of unfolding. When the user executes the operation according to the prompt, the electronic equipment can collect the pause time of the electronic equipment during the stop in the unfolding process. The electronic device may collect a plurality of dwell times and then determine an average of the plurality of dwell times as the first time threshold.

In the embodiment of the application, when the flexible display screen is in the folded state, and the stand state is stopped, the electronic device may open the application according to the opening angle in the stand state, or adjust the system configuration according to the opening angle in the stand state (for example, adjust the system configuration to the power saving mode).

The following embodiments of the application provide an application opening method and a related device in a folding screen device.

Application scenarios related to embodiments of the present application are described below. In the application opening method provided by the embodiment of the application, the electronic device can store the mapping relation between the opening angle interval of the flexible display screen and the application. For example, the mapping relationship includes a first angle interval corresponding to a first application. The electronic equipment detects that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is a first angle. When the time for detecting that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is kept at the first angle is larger than or equal to a first time threshold value, the electronic equipment can acquire an angle interval where the first angle is located, and the angle interval is the first angle interval. And starting the first application according to the mapping relation between the first angle interval and the first application.

For example, the first time threshold is 0.5 seconds, and the mapping relationship between the opening angle interval and the application stored in the electronic device includes: 90-135 degrees corresponds to the game application B. And when the electronic equipment detects that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is kept at 120 degrees for more than 0.5 second, the electronic equipment obtains that the angle interval of the first angle of 120 degrees is 90-135 degrees, and then the B game application is started according to the mapping relation. When the flexible display screen of the electronic equipment is unfolded to the unfolded state, the application interface of the B game application can be displayed in a full screen mode.

In the application opening process, the electronic device detects that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is stopped when the first angle exceeds the first time threshold value, and then the application corresponding to the angle interval where the first angle is located is started. In this way, pre-launching of the application may be achieved before the flexible display is opened to the expanded configuration. Thereby reducing the time taken for the application to start after the flexible display is in the unfolded configuration. In addition, the user does not need to manually touch the application icon to start the application, and the convenience of starting the application is improved.

The user interface provided by the embodiments of the present application is described below.

The flexible display screen of the electronic device is in a folded state, and the electronic device can locally display the application interface 10. Illustratively, the application interface 10 is described as a home screen interface 10. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic view of an application interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2 (a), the a screen of the electronic apparatus 100 displays the home screen interface 10. As shown in fig. 2 (a), the home screen interface 10 includes a calendar widget (widget)101, a weather widget 102, an application icon 103, a status bar 104, and a navigation bar 105. Wherein:

The weather widget 102 may be used to indicate a weather type, such as cloudy sunny, light rain, etc., may also be used to indicate information such as temperature, and may also be used to indicate a location.

The application icon 103 may include icons of Wechat (Wechat), Twitter (Twitter), Facebook (Facebook), microblog (Sina Weibo), QQ (Tencent QQ), YouTube (YouTube), Gallery (Gallery), and other applications, which are not limited in this embodiment. Any application icon can be used for responding to the operation of the user, such as touch operation, so that the electronic equipment starts the application corresponding to the icon.

The name of the operator (e.g., china mobile), time, WI-FI icon, signal strength, and current remaining power may be included in the status bar 104.

Navigation bar 105 may include: a return key 1051, a home screen key 1052, an outgoing call task history key 1053, and other system navigation keys. The home screen interface 10 is an interface displayed by the electronic device 100 after any user interface detects a user operation on the main interface key 1052. When it is detected that the user clicks the return key 1051, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface previous to the current user interface. When the user is detected to click on the home interface key 1052, the electronic device 100 may display the home screen interface 10. When it is detected that the user clicks the outgoing task history key 1053, the electronic device 100 may display a task that the first user has recently opened. The names of the navigation keys may also be other keys, for example, 1051 may be called Back Button, 1052 may be called Home Button, and 1053 may be called Menu Button, which is not limited in this application. Each navigation key in the navigation bar 105 is not limited to a virtual key, and may be implemented as a physical key.

In the process that the flexible display screen of the electronic equipment is unfolded from the folded state, the electronic equipment can obtain the opening angle.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may store a mapping relationship between the opening angle interval and the application. For example, please refer to table 1, which is an example of a mapping relationship between an opening angle interval and an application.

TABLE 1 example of a mapping relationship between an opening angle interval and an application

Opening angle interval	Applications of
		0°～45°	Micro blog
45°～90°	A Game
		90°～135°	Picture library
135°～179°	Excellent rabbit

As shown in table 1, the electronic device detects that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is a first angle. When the time for detecting that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is kept at the first angle is larger than or equal to a first time threshold value, the electronic equipment can acquire an angle interval where the first angle is located. And if the first angle is detected to fall within 0-45 degrees, the electronic equipment can display the mapping relation between the opening angle interval and the application according to the table I, and start the microblog.

Similarly, if the first angle is detected to fall within 45 ° to 90 °, the electronic device may start the game a according to the mapping relationship between the opening angle zone and the application shown in table one. If the first angle is detected to fall within 90-135 degrees, the electronic equipment can start the gallery application according to the mapping relation between the opening angle interval and the application shown in the table I. If the first angle is detected to fall within 135-179 degrees, the electronic equipment can start the optimal rabbit application according to the mapping relation between the opening angle interval and the application shown in the table I.

Illustratively, the first time threshold is 0.5 seconds. Based on table one, when the electronic device detects that the dwell time of the opening angle α of the flexible display screen at 110 ° is greater than or equal to 0.5 second, the electronic device determines that the 110 ° is located in the angle interval of 90 ° to 135 °. As shown in fig. 2 (B), the electronic device starts the gallery application according to the angle interval of 90 ° to 135 ° and the mapping relationship shown in table one, and displays the user interface 20 of the gallery application on the a screen and the B screen in full screen. In some embodiments of the present application, if the gallery application has been run in the background, the electronic device displays the user interface 20 of the gallery application in full screen on both the A and B screens.

As shown in fig. 2 (B) and (C), the user interface 20 of the gallery application may include a thumbnail display area 201, and the thumbnail display area 201 may contain thumbnails of a plurality of pictures. The user may touch the thumbnail to open the corresponding picture.

As shown in fig. 2 (C), when the flexible display is unfolded into the unfolded configuration, i.e. the first angle is 180 °, the electronic device may display the user interface 20 of the gallery application in a full screen. In this way, it may be achieved that the gallery application is pre-launched before the flexible display is opened to the expanded configuration. Thereby reducing the time taken for the application to start after the flexible display is in the unfolded configuration. In addition, the user does not need to manually find and touch the gallery application icon to start the application, and the convenience of starting the application is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, if the electronic device detects that the pause exceeds the time threshold at a plurality of angles in the unfolding process of the flexible display screen, and the angle intervals of the plurality of angles are different, the electronic device may start the applications corresponding to the plurality of angle intervals, and foreground-display the application interface of the application started at last. Of the two applications that are launched in succession, the previously launched application may be the first application, and the subsequently launched application may be the second application. The second application is different from the first application, e.g., the second application is a premium rabbit application and the first application is a gallery application.

In the embodiment of the present application, the time thresholds set for the two angles that successively stop may be the same or different, and this is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In two angles that are successively paused, the electronic device may set a first time threshold for a previous angle. For a subsequent angle, the electronic device may set a second time threshold. For example, the first time threshold and the second time threshold are both 0.5 seconds, and for example, the first time threshold is 0.5 seconds, and the second time threshold is 0.6 seconds.

Specifically, please refer to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, in the example shown in (a) and (B) in fig. 2, the electronic device starts the gallery application according to the angle section 90 ° to 135 ° where the opening angle 110 ° falls and the mapping relationship shown in table one, and displays the user interface 20 of the gallery application on the display area composed of the a screen and the B screen in full screen.

As shown in fig. 2 (B) and 3 (a), after opening and full-screen displaying the user interface 20 of the gallery application, the electronic device may detect that the open angle α of the flexible display screen is greater than or equal to 0.5 seconds at a 150 ° dwell time before the flexible display screen is unfolded into the unfolded configuration. The electronic equipment determines that the opening angle of 150 degrees is 135-179 degrees. The electronic equipment can start the excellent rabbit application according to the angle interval of 135-179 degrees and the mapping relation shown in the table one, run the background of the image library application, and display the user interface 30 of the excellent rabbit on the full screen of the display area formed by the A screen and the B screen.

The background running of the gallery application means that the gallery application is started and is not closed by the electronic equipment. In response to a user operation to open the gallery application (e.g., a touch operation to a gallery icon), the electronic device may display the user interface 20 of the gallery application with the gallery application running in the background without restarting the gallery application.

As shown in fig. 3 (a) and (B), the user interface 30 of the euro rabbit may contain menu controls: a pick menu 301, an animation menu 302, a hot spot menu 303, an episode menu 304, a movie menu 305, a kids menu 306, a synthesis menu 307, and a documentary menu 308. The user interface 30 may also include a content display region 3011. The content displayed in the content display area 3011 is the content under the fine selection menu 301. The user interface 30 may also contain a search box 309 for displaying a list of keywords related videos in response to keywords searched by the user in the search box 209. The search box 309 may also display a hit search keyword, such as "Changan twelve hours" by default.

The content display area 3011 may include a control 3011a, a control 3011b, a control 3011c, a control 3011d, a control 3011e, and a control 3011f, which are respectively configured to respond to a touch operation of a user, so that the electronic device displays a video list corresponding to the control.

As shown in fig. 3 (B), when the flexible display screen of the electronic device is unfolded to the unfolded state, that is, the opening angle α is 180 °, the electronic device can display the user interface 30 of the kou rabbit in a full screen.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 3 (B), the electronic device may further display a prompt interface 40, which includes a background running application icon 401, a close control 402, and a hidden control 403. Wherein:

and the application icon 401 is used for prompting the gallery application running in the background. The user may touch the application icon 401 to cause the electronic device to display the user interface 20 of the gallery application according to the gallery application running in the background in response to the above-described touch operation on the application icon 401. The application icon 401 is the first prompt message.

A close control 402 for closing the gallery application running in the background. The user may touch the close control 402 to cause the electronic device to close the gallery application running in the background in response to the touch operation on the close control 402 described above.

And a hiding control 403 for hiding the prompt interface 40. The user may touch the hidden control 403, so that the electronic device hides the prompt interface 40 in response to the touch operation on the hidden control 403, and after the prompt interface 40 is hidden, the electronic device may still run the gallery application in the background.

The gallery application and the you rabbit application are launched in advance before the flexible display is opened to the expanded configuration. In this way, the time taken for the application to start after the flexible display is in the unfolded configuration may be reduced. In addition, a user does not need to manually find and touch the excellent rabbit icon to start the excellent rabbit application, and convenience in application starting is improved.

In an embodiment of the present application, the gallery application may be a first application, and the top rabbit application may be a second application. Optionally, when the electronic device detects that the flexible display is paused at the first angle (110 °) beyond the first time threshold, the electronic device may launch a first application, such as a gallery application, in the background. When the electronic device detects that the flexible display is paused at the second angle (150 °) beyond the first time threshold, the electronic device may background launch a second application, such as a gooey rabbit application. When the flexible display screen is detected to be in the unfolded state, the electronic device displays the user interface (namely, the user interface 30 of the Youjin rabbit) of the second application on the flexible display screen, and the user interface can be displayed in a full screen mode or a local mode.

In one possible implementation, after the gallery application is run in the background in the example shown in fig. 3 (a), the electronic device may also display a prompt interface 40.

In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device may close the gallery application running in the background when detecting that the running remaining memory amount is smaller than a set threshold.

In other embodiments of the present application, if the electronic device detects that the pause at a plurality of angles exceeds the first time threshold during the expansion of the flexible display screen, and the angle intervals of the plurality of angles are different, the electronic device may start the applications corresponding to the plurality of angle intervals, and display the user interfaces of the plurality of applications.

Specifically, please refer to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of some application interfaces provided in the embodiment of the present application. In the previous example, after opening the gallery application and displaying the user interface 20 of the gallery application in full screen, the electronic device may detect that the opening angle α of the flexible display is greater than or equal to 0.5 seconds at a 150 ° dwell time before the flexible display is unfolded into the unfolded configuration. The electronic equipment determines that the angle interval of the opening angle of 150 degrees is 135-179 degrees. The electronic equipment can start the excellent rabbit application according to the angle interval of 135-179 degrees and the mapping relation shown in the table one. As shown in fig. 4 (a), the electronic device displays the user interface 20 of the gallery application (user interface of the first application) and the user interface 30 of the euro rabbit (user interface of the second application) partially or entirely on the flexible display screen. For example, the user interface 20 of the gallery application and the user interface 30 of the Youke are displayed in a stack on the display area composed of the A screen and the B screen. In response to a detected user operation acting on one of the user interfaces, for example, a user operation acting on the user interface 30 of the Yorku, the electronic device displays the user interface 30 of the Yorku in a full screen, and the user interface 30 of the Yorku refers to an example as described in (B) of FIG. 3.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 (B), the electronic device displays the user interface 20 of the gallery and the user interface 30 of the you rabbit on a display area composed of an a screen and a B screen in a split manner. The user may operate the user interface 20 and the user interface 30 and the electronic device may respond. In response to a touch operation of a thumbnail of a picture acting on the user interface 20, the electronic device may display the picture corresponding to the thumbnail in the display area where the user interface 20 is located. In response to a touch operation of a control acting on the user interface 30, the electronic device may display a video corresponding to the control in a display area where the user interface 30 is located.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may launch only the first application, such as the gallery application, when the electronic device detects that the flexible display is paused at the first angle beyond a first time threshold. The electronic device displays the user interface of the first application (i.e., the gallery of user interfaces 20) on the flexible display screen when the flexible display screen is detected in the expanded configuration.

The user interface 20 for displaying the gallery on the flexible display screen in full screen is not limited to (C) in fig. 2, but may be displayed partially on the flexible display screen. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4 (C), an example is shown in which the user interface 20 of the gallery is partially displayed on a flexible display screen, and the user interface 20 of the gallery and the home screen interface 50 may be displayed separately on the flexible display screen.

In the embodiment of the present application, the situation that the display area of the flexible display screen other than the navigation bar and the status bar is not occupied may be referred to as a partial display. The display mode of the partial display is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

If the electronic equipment detects that the pause exceeds the time threshold value at a plurality of angles in the unfolding process of the flexible display screen and the angle intervals of the plurality of angles are different, the electronic equipment can start the system configuration corresponding to the angle intervals in sequence and use the last started system configuration. In two system configurations that are sequentially enabled, the system configuration that is enabled first may be the first capability and the system configuration that is enabled later may be the second capability. The second capability is different from the first capability, for example, the second capability is a power saving mode and the first capability is a mute mode.

In the embodiment of the present application, the time thresholds set for the two angles that successively stop may be the same or different, and this is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In two angles that are successively paused, the electronic device may set a first time threshold for a previous angle. For a subsequent angle, the electronic device may set a second time threshold. For example, the first time threshold and the second time threshold are both 0.45 seconds, and for example, the first time threshold is 0.4 seconds, and the second time threshold is 0.7 seconds.

In one possible implementation, the flexible display of the electronic device may also be in a locked state in the folded configuration, i.e., the electronic device needs to authenticate the user (e.g., verify the user's fingerprint, face, or entered password characters) to unlock the device to display the home screen interface 10. If the electronic device is in the screen locking state in the folded state, the electronic device may start the gallery application when the electronic device detects that the opening angle α is greater than or equal to 0.5 seconds at a 110 ° dwell time. When the flexible display screen is unfolded into the unfolded state, the electronic device can respond to the fingerprint, the human face or the password character input by the user to authenticate the user, and if the authentication succeeds, the user interface 20 of the gallery application is displayed. If authentication fails, the electronic device may close the gallery application.

In this way, it may be achieved that the gallery application is pre-launched before the flexible display is deployed to the deployed configuration. Thereby reducing the time taken for the application to start after the flexible display is in the unfolded configuration. In addition, the user does not need to manually find and touch the gallery application icon to start the application, and the convenience of starting the application is improved.

In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may further store a mapping relationship between the opening angle interval and the system configuration. The system configuration may include, for example, a silent mode, an eye-protecting mode, a power-saving mode, and an automatic screen capture. For example, please refer to table 2, which is an example of a mapping relationship between the opening angle interval and the system configuration.

Table 2 example of a mapping relationship between an opening angle interval and a system configuration

Opening angle interval	System configuration
		0°～45°	Mute mode
45°～90°	Eye protection mode
		90°～135°	Power saving mode
135°～179°	Automatic screen shot

In the context of the embodiments of the present application, the system configuration described above may also be referred to as capabilities of the electronic device. The first system configuration may be referred to as a first capability.

As shown in table 2, the electronic device detects that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is the first angle. When the time for detecting that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is kept at the first angle is greater than or equal to a first time threshold value, the electronic equipment can acquire an angle interval where the first angle is located, and the angle interval is the first angle interval. And applying the first system configuration to the electronic equipment according to the mapping relation between the first angle interval and the first system configuration, namely, the electronic equipment starts the first system configuration.

For example, the first angle is 120 °, the first angle interval is 90 ° to 135 °, the first system is configured in the power saving mode, and the first time threshold is 0.4 seconds. The time for the electronic equipment to detect that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is kept at 120 degrees is greater than or equal to 0.4 second, and the angle interval where 120 degrees is located can be obtained and is 90-135 degrees. The electronic equipment adjusts the system configuration to the power saving mode according to the mapping relation between the 90-135 degrees and the power saving mode. If the current electronic device is already in the power saving mode, the electronic device still keeps the system configured in the power saving mode.

The process of adjusting to the power saving mode can realize that the electronic device adjusts the power saving mode in advance according to the first angle and the mapping relation before the flexible display screen is unfolded to the unfolding state. In addition, the adjustment of the power saving mode is performed without manual operation of a user, and the convenience is improved.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the process of adjusting the electronic device to the power saving mode in the process of unfolding the flexible display screen is taken as an example for introduction, and the process of the mute mode, the eye protection mode and the automatic screen capture is similar.

The following describes various system configurations provided in the embodiments of the present application.

After the power saving mode is adjusted, the processor frequency of the electronic device can be reduced, the number of background running applications is reduced, the brightness of the display screen is reduced, and some system functions can be turned off to save electric quantity. Without being limited to the foregoing examples, the electronic device may also perform other operations to save power, for example, stopping the application background auto-refresh, and the like.

After being adjusted to the mute mode, the electronic device does not ring when receiving incoming calls and information. No ringing occurs upon receiving the notification message of the application. The embodiment of the application does not limit the mute mode, for example, when the mute mode is adjusted, the alarm clock of the electronic device may not ring.

In this embodiment, after the electronic device applies the first system configuration to the electronic device according to the mapping relationship between the first angle interval and the first system configuration, a prompt may be displayed to prompt that the electronic device has been currently switched to the first system configuration.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2 (a), the electronic device may partially display the home screen interface 10 when the flexible display is in the folded configuration. The electronic device may store the mapping relationships shown in table 2. The electronic device can acquire the opening angle during the unfolding process of the flexible display screen from the folded state. The time for the electronic equipment to detect that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is kept at 120 degrees is greater than or equal to 0.4 second, and the angle interval where 120 degrees is located can be obtained and is 90-135 degrees. And according to the mapping relation between the 90-135 degrees and the power saving mode, the electronic equipment is adjusted to be in the power saving mode. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic view of an application interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, when the flexible display is unfolded into the unfolded configuration, i.e., the first angle is 180 °, the electronic device can display the main screen interface 50 in a full screen. The layout of the application icons on home screen interface 50 and home screen interface 10 may be different.

As shown in fig. 5, the electronic device further displays a system configuration prompt interface 60, and the system configuration prompt interface 60 may include a power saving mode icon 601, a close control 602, and a hide control 603. Wherein:

a power saving mode icon 601 for indicating that the power saving mode has been switched to. The user may touch the power saving mode icon 601 to cause the electronic apparatus to display a system setting interface in response to the above-described touch operation on the power saving mode icon 601.

And a close control 602 for closing the power saving mode. The user may touch the close control 602 to cause the electronic device to close the power saving mode in response to the touch operation on the close control 602, and return to the system configuration when the flexible display screen is in the folded configuration.

And a hiding control 603 for hiding the prompt interface 60. The user may touch the hidden control 603, so that the electronic device hides the system configuration prompting interface 60 in response to the touch operation applied to the hidden control 603, and after the system configuration prompting interface 60 is hidden, the electronic device is still in the power saving mode.

Before the flexible display screen is unfolded to the unfolded state, the electronic device is adjusted to a power saving mode in advance. Therefore, a user does not need to manually find the corresponding icon and adjust the icon into a power-saving mode, and convenience is improved.

In the embodiment of the present application, the power saving mode icon 601, the closing control 602, and the hiding control 603 are not limited to be displayed through the system configuration prompt interface 60. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is an interface schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in (a) and (B) of fig. 7, the power saving mode icon 601, the close control 602, and the hidden control 603 may also be displayed through the pull-down menu 70 or the pull-up menu 80, but are not limited thereto, and may also be displayed through the side pull menu or the hover menu, which is not limited in any way by the embodiment of the present application.

Alternatively, the folding screen angle control switch 1101 may be configured such that, in the closed state, the plurality of angle section setting entries do not respond to the user's operation, and in the open state, the plurality of angle section setting entries respond to the user's operation.

The 0-45 setting entry 1102 may further include a prompt 1102a for "not set". The 45-90 setting entry 1103 may also contain a reminder 1103a to indicate "unset". The 90-135 setting entry 1104 may also contain a prompt 1104a to indicate "not set". The 135- 179 deg. set entry 1105 may also include a prompt 1105a for "not set".

As shown in (C) and (D) in fig. 7, in response to a user operation, such as a touch operation, applied to the 0-45 ° setting entry 1102, the electronic apparatus displays a 0-45 ° setting interface 1200. The 0-45 setting interface 1200 may contain an application setting control 1201, a system configuration control 1202, an icon display area 1203, and a return control 1204. The application setting control 1201 and the system configuration control 1202 each correspond to a content display area. The icon display area 1203 is an icon display area corresponding to the application setting control 1201. In response to a user operation, such as a touch operation, acting on system configuration control 1202, the electronic device displays a content display area corresponding to system configuration control 1202, which is described with reference to (B) in fig. 8 in particular.

And a return control 1204 for returning to the previous level interface of the 0-45 ° setting interface 1200. In response to a user operation, such as a touch operation, acting on the return control 1204, the electronic device displays the folding screen angle control interface 1100.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7 (D), the icon display area 1203 may include a microblog icon 1203a, a tweet icon 1203B, a gallery icon 1203c, an a game icon 1203D, a B game icon 1203e, a WeChat icon 1203f, a facebook 1203g, a QQ icon 1203h, and an empty icon 1203 i. Not limited to these application icons, the electronic device may display more application icons in response to a touch-and-slide operation of the user on the icon display area 1203.

The user can set the application corresponding to the 0-45 ° by operating, for example, touching, any icon in the icon display area 1203. For example, as shown in (D) in fig. 7, the application icon in the icon display area 1203 is displayed in a non-selected state, and in response to a user operation, for example, a touch operation, on the microblog icon 1203a, the electronic device displays the microblog icon 1203a in a selected state. As shown in fig. 8 (a), in response to a user operation, such as a touch operation, acting on the return control 1204, the electronic device displays a folding screen angle control interface 1100. As shown in fig. 8 (a), the 0-45 ° section setting entry 1102 may not display the prompt 1102a any more, but display a prompt 1102b for prompting "microblog".

When the user touches the empty icon 1203i in the icon display area 1203, in response to the user operation, the electronic device may display the empty icon 1203i in a selected state, which indicates that the electronic device sets the 0-45 ° interval not to correspond to any application. That is, when the electronic device detects that the time for pausing the flexible display screen at the first angle from the folded state is greater than or equal to the first time threshold and the first angle falls within 0-45 °, the electronic device does not open any application nor any system configuration.

As shown in fig. 8 (B), on the 0-45 ° setting interface 1200, in response to a user operation, such as a touch operation, acting on the system configuration control 1202, the electronic device displays an icon display area, that is, an icon display area 1204, to which the system configuration control 1202 corresponds. The icon display area 1204 can include a mute mode icon 1204a, an eye-protecting mode icon 1204b, a power saving mode icon 1204c, an auto-screen shot icon 1204d, and an empty icon 1204 e.

In the embodiment of the present application, (C) and (D) in FIG. 7 and (A) in FIG. 8 are described by taking the application setting process corresponding to 0-45 degrees as an example, and 45-90 degrees, 90-135 degrees and 135-179 degrees are similar. After the applications corresponding to the angle intervals are set, as shown in (C) in fig. 8, the 0-45 ° interval setting entry 1102 may no longer display the prompt 1102a, but display the prompt 1102b for prompting "microblog". The 45-90 interval setting entry 1103 may display not the cue 1103a but a cue 1103b for cueing "game a". The 90-135 interval setting entry 1104 may no longer display the prompt 1104a but display the prompt 1104b for prompting "gallery". The 135-179 interval setting entry 1105 may not display the prompt 1105a any more, but display the prompt 1105b for prompting "good rabbit". The electronic device may store the mapping relationship shown in table 1 according to the above-described setting.

Similarly, system configurations corresponding to 0-45, 45-90, 90-135, and 135-179 can be analogized to the application setup process corresponding to 0-45. After the system configuration corresponding to each angle section is set, as shown in (D) in fig. 8, the 0-45 ° section setting entry 1102 may display a prompt 1102c for prompting "silent mode". The entrance 1103 is arranged at an interval of 45-90 degrees to display a prompt 1103c for prompting an eye protection mode. The 90-135 interval setting entry 1104 may display a prompt 1104c for "power saving mode". The 135- 179 interval setting entry 1105 may display a prompt 1105c for prompting "automatic screen capture". The electronic device may store the mapping relationship shown in table 2 according to the above-described settings.

When the user touches the empty icon 1204e in the icon display area 1204, in response to the user operation, the electronic device may display the empty icon 1204e in a selected state, indicating that the electronic device sets the 0-45 ° interval not to correspond to any system configuration. That is, when the electronic device detects that the flexible display is folded and unfolded from the folded state and the time of pause at the first angle is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, and the first angle falls between 0 and 45 degrees, the electronic device does not start any system configuration.

It is understood that the mapping relationship between the angle interval and the application (or the system configuration) is not limited to be set in the folding state of the flexible display screen, and may also be set in the full-screen display state. In addition, the above description is given by taking 4 angle intervals as an example, but the present embodiment is not limited to 4 angle intervals, and other number of angle intervals may be used.

In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may count the starting frequency or the number of times of the application in the full-screen display scenario. The electronic device then obtains several applications that are most frequently or frequently used and activates these applications when the flexible display is unfolded from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration.

Illustratively, the electronic device counts the number of times an application is launched while displayed full screen for a period of time. For example, the electronic device obtains four applications with the largest number of times of activation when the electronic device is displayed in a full screen, and the number of times of activation of each application. As shown in table 3, table 3 is an example of the application launch count statistics on full screen display.

TABLE 3 example of statistics of application launch times for full screen display

Applications of	Number of starts
		Micro blog	102
A Game	89
		Picture library	80
B Game	78

As shown in table 3, the electronic device obtains, by statistics, four applications with the largest number of times of activation in full-screen display, and the number of times of activation of each application: 102 microblogs, 89 games for A, 80 galleries and 78 games for B.

The electronic device may store the identities of these four applications: microblogs, games A, galleries and games B. When the flexible display screen is detected to be unfolded from the folded state to the opening angle of a set angle (for example, 20 °), the electronic device may execute the application corresponding to the identification of the four applications in the background.

Optionally, after the electronic device runs the four applications in the background, a prompt may be displayed to prompt that the four applications have been run in the background. The prompting can be analogous to the prompting interface 40 in the example described in fig. 3, the system configuration prompting interface 60 in the example described in fig. 5, and the pull-down menu 70 or the pull-up menu 80 in the example described in fig. 6, and will not be described again here.

The above example of obtaining the starting times corresponding to the applications is only used to explain the embodiment of the present application, and should not be limited, and the electronic device may also obtain the applications with more or less starting times, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the method is not limited to counting the starting frequency and the starting times, and may also be counting other parameters, such as counting the foreground running time of the application when the application is displayed in a full screen, and then determining the application started in a background according to the counting result.

The application running in the background is determined according to the statistical result of the application used by the user in the full-screen display, and the use habit of the user is better met, so that the probability of the application running in the background and used by the user in the full-screen display is improved, the time consumed by the user for manually starting the application is reduced, and convenience can be provided for the user.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may display the application icon in the icon display area 1203 shown in (D) in fig. 7 according to the statistics of the application launching times in the full-screen display state. The application with the larger application start-up number is displayed further forward in the icon display area 1203.

In some embodiments of the present application, the angle section in the angle section setting entry may be set in response to a user operation. Specifically, please refer to fig. 9, and fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of an application interface according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9 (a), the folding screen angle control interface 1100 may also include an add angle control 1106, a delete angle control 1107, and a switch 1108. As shown in fig. 9, each angle section setting inlet may further include an angle adjusting bar for a user to adjust the angle section. Specifically, the 0-45 ° interval setting entry 1102 includes an angle adjustment bar 1102d, the 45-90 ° interval setting entry 1103 includes an angle adjustment bar 1103d, the 90-135 ° interval setting entry 1104 includes an angle adjustment bar 1104d, and the 135-179 ° interval setting entry 1105 includes an angle adjustment bar 1105 d.

The adjustment of the angle interval is described below by taking the interval of 0-45 deg. as an example. Angle adjustment bar 1102d may include adjustment point 1102d-1 and adjustment point 1102 d-2. As shown in (a) of fig. 9, in response to a drag operation of the user to the node 1102d-1, the electronic device may adjust the lower limit 0 ° of the angle interval of 0-45 °. Illustratively, in response to a drag operation by the user on the toggle node 1102d-1, the electronic device adjusts the lower limit 0 of the 0-45 angle interval to 15, and the change "0-45 interval" is displayed as "15-45 interval". Similarly, the adjustment point 1102d-2 can also be responsive to user operation to cause the electronic device to adjust the upper limit of 45 ° corresponding to the angular interval.

The angle adjustment bar 1103d, the angle adjustment bar 1104d, and the angle adjustment bar 1105d may be similar to the description of the angle adjustment bar 1102d described above.

In the embodiment of the application, the angle intervals can be set by the electronic equipment and cannot be overlapped. For example, after the 15-45 ° angle interval is set through the above process, other angle intervals may be adjusted within the range of 45-180 °.

It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application takes the angle adjustment bar as an example for description, but the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific design of the control for adjusting the angle interval, and other designs are also possible.

An angle control 1106 is added for increasing one or more angle intervals. In response to a user operation acting on add angle control 1106, the electronic device can display a user interface for increasing the angle interval.

The delete angle control 1107 is used to delete the added angle interval, which may include 0-45 °, 45-90 °, 90-135 °, and 135-179 °.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first switch may comprise a switch 1101, and the second switch may comprise a switch 1108. In the embodiment of the present application, the folding screen angle control interface 1100 may include a first switch and a second switch, may also include only the first switch, and may also include only the second switch, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may close the foreground enabled application and close the function of the background enabled application in response to an operation of a user. Switch 1108 may be used to turn off the foreground initiating application and turn off the function of the background initiating application. Specifically, as shown in (a) and (B) in fig. 9, when the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in the on state, the switch 1108 is in the disabled state. In response to a user operation (e.g., a touch operation) acting on the folding screen angle control switch 1101, the electronic apparatus may display the folding screen angle control switch 1101 in an off state, and close the foreground function of starting an application, adjusting the system configuration. As shown in fig. 9 (B), in response to a user operation (e.g., a touch operation) applied to the folding screen angle control switch 1101, the electronic apparatus may no longer display the setting entry of each angle section, and the folding screen angle control interface 1100 may further include a prompt 1109 to prompt "pause at a certain angle after closing, no operation is performed".

When the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in the off state, the switch 1108 is changed from the disabled state to the active state. When the switch 1108 is in an active state, the electronic device may turn the switch 1108 on or off in response to a touch operation applied to the switch 1108 by a user. When the switch 1108 is turned off, the opening angle of the flexible display screen is halted at an angle and the electronic device does not perform any operation. When the switch 1108 is turned on, the opening angle of the flexible display screen is stopped at a certain angle, which may trigger the electronic device to run the application with the largest number of times of starting when the electronic device is full-screen displayed in the background.

In some embodiments of the present application, when it is detected that the flexible display screen is unfolded from the folded configuration to the opened angle of a set angle (e.g., 20 °), the electronic device may detect whether the folding screen angle control switch 1101 in the folding screen angle control interface 1100 is in the opened state. When the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in an open state, when the electronic device detects that the time for maintaining the open angle of the flexible display screen at the first angle is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the electronic device may start an application or adjust the system configuration according to the application or the system configuration corresponding to each set angle interval. When the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in a closed state, the electronic device may run the application obtained by statistics in a background when detecting that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is a set angle. Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic flowchart illustrating an application starting method of a folding screen device according to an embodiment of the present application. The application opening method may include steps S101 to S106.

S101, the flexible display screen of the electronic device is in a folding state.

S102, when the fact that the flexible display screen is unfolded from the folding state to the opening angle is the set angle is detected, the electronic device detects whether a folding screen angle control switch 1101 in a folding screen angle control interface 1100 is in the opening state.

For example, the set angle may be 20 °. When the opening angle of the flexible display screen is detected to be unfolded to 20 degrees from one angle between 0 and 20 degrees, the electronic equipment can detect whether the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in an opening state.

S103, when the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in an open state, when the electronic device detects that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is kept at the first angle for a time greater than or equal to a first time threshold value, starting an application or adjusting system configuration according to the application or system configuration corresponding to the angle interval.

The process of the electronic device starting the application according to the application corresponding to the angle interval may refer to the descriptions in fig. 2 and fig. 3, and the process of adjusting the system configuration according to the system configuration corresponding to the angle interval may refer to the description in fig. 5.

In this embodiment of the application, when detecting that the first angle falls on a boundary point between two angle intervals, the electronic device may reduce the first angle by 1 °, and detect an application or system configuration corresponding to the angle interval on which the reduced angle falls.

For example, 135 ° is a boundary point of 90 ° to 135 ° and 135 ° to 179 °. When detecting that the first angle is 135 °, the electronic device may reduce 135 ° by 1 °, and obtain an application or system configuration corresponding to an angle interval in which 134 ° falls, which is 90 ° to 135 °.

In the embodiment of the present application, the angle at the boundary point is not limited to be decreased by 1 °, and may be increased by 1 °, and other values may be increased or decreased, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

S104, when the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in a closed state, the electronic device can run the application obtained through statistics in a background mode when detecting that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is a set angle.

The application obtained by statistics may specifically refer to the example described in table 3.

In some embodiments of the present application, when the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in the off state, the electronic device may determine which applications are running in the background according to the occupation of the running memory and the statistics of the number of times the applications are started in the full-screen display. The more runtime memory is occupied, the fewer applications are running in the background. After determining the number S (integer) of applications running in the background, the electronic device may select S applications with the largest number of times of starting in full-screen display according to table 3.

For example, when the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in a closed state, the electronic device may detect that 80% of the running memory remains when detecting that the opening angle of the flexible display screen is 20 °, and the electronic device may run 4 applications with the maximum number of times of starting when displaying full screen in the background. Namely, the electronic equipment starts the microblog, the game A, the gallery and the game B according to the table 3 background. When the electronic equipment detects that the running memory is left by 50%, the electronic equipment can run 3 applications with the maximum starting times in the background and full-screen display. Namely, the electronic equipment starts the microblog, the game A and the gallery according to the table 3.

S105, the flexible display screen of the electronic device is in an unfolded state.

S106, the electronic equipment counts the started applications in the unfolding state, and updates the application starting frequency statistical table according to the statistical result.

The electronic device may update the start-up times in the application start-up time statistics when a certain application is started. Wherein the application is launched in response to the touch operation on the application icon, and may be launched by the example described in fig. 2 and 3 before the flexible display is unfolded to the unfolded state. For example, the application activation count counted by the electronic device before the flexible display is unfolded to the unfolded state is shown in table 3, and the activation count of the updatable gallery of the electronic device is 81 times when the flexible display is unfolded as described in the example of fig. 2.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may give a prompt when the flexible display is unfolded to a certain angle. For example, in the example described in fig. 2-6, when the opening angle of the flexible display screen reaches 45 °, 90 ° and 135 ° during the unfolding from the folded configuration, the electronic device may generate a vibration prompt to remind the user of the current opening angle. In another possible implementation, a mechanical member may be provided at the location of the bending portion of the electronic device. When the opening angle of the flexible display screen reaches 45 degrees, 90 degrees and 135 degrees in the unfolding process of the flexible display screen from the folding state, the mechanical component can enable the electronic equipment to generate a vibration prompt to remind a user of the current opening angle.

The mapping relationship between the angle interval and the system configuration is described with reference to an example in table 2.

In some embodiments, when the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in the open state in the application layer, the angle section detection unit may determine an application that needs to be started or a system configuration that needs to be adjusted according to tables 1 and 2. In the process of unfolding the flexible display screen from the folding state, when the folding screen angle control switch 1101 is in the off state, the angle interval detection unit may run one or more applications obtained through statistics in the background when detecting that the opening angle is a set angle (for example, 20 °).

And the triggering unit can instruct the AMS to start the first application according to the notification from the application and system configuration matching unit, and can instruct the system configuration to adjust the system configuration according to the mapping relation between the angle interval and the system configuration. The first application may illustratively refer to the gallery application shown in FIG. 2. An example of adjusting the system configuration may be described with reference to fig. 5.

In some embodiments, in the process of detecting that the flexible display screen gradually expands from the folded state, the angle interval detection unit detects two different pause angles in sequence, and the two different pause angles can be both sent to the application and system configuration unit. The application and system configuration unit can match two different applications according to the two different pause angles and sequentially inform the AMS, after the AMS receives the instruction, the AMS starts the two applications, an application foreground corresponding to the later pause angle runs, and an application background corresponding to the former pause angle runs. In another possible implementation, the AMS runs both applications in the foreground, for example instructing the split screen display of the application interfaces of both applications.

The AMS may start a corresponding application in the application layer according to an instruction from the trigger unit.
