Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the portions related to the related invention are shown in the drawings. The embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.

It should be understood that "system", "apparatus", "unit" and/or "module" as used herein is a method for distinguishing different components, elements, parts or assemblies at different levels. However, other words may be substituted by other expressions if they accomplish the same purpose.

As used in this application and the appended claims, the terms "a," "an," "the," and/or "the" are not intended to be inclusive in the singular, but rather are intended to be inclusive in the plural unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In general, the terms "comprises" and "comprising" merely indicate that steps and elements are included which are explicitly identified, that the steps and elements do not form an exclusive list, and that a method or apparatus may include other steps or elements. An element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.

In the description of the embodiments herein, "/" means "or" unless otherwise specified, for example, a/B may mean a or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, and means that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more than two. The terms "first", "second" and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

Additionally, flow charts are used herein to illustrate operations performed by systems according to embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the preceding or following operations are not necessarily performed in the exact order in which they are performed. Rather, the various steps may be processed in reverse order or simultaneously. Meanwhile, other operations may be added to the processes, or a certain step or several steps of operations may be removed from the processes.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic flowchart of an alternative embodiment of the display control method provided in the present application is shown, where the method may be applied to an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an e-book reader, and the like, and the present application does not limit the product type and the composition structure of the electronic device. As shown in fig. 1, the display control method proposed in this embodiment may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

step S11, obtaining the content to be displayed;

the content to be displayed may be content to be output by a display output area of the electronic device, such as information output by any application currently running by the electronic device (e.g., a video output by a video application, a game interface of a game application, etc.), message content received by any application of the electronic device (e.g., a message, a short message, etc. received by an instant messaging application), a payment interface, an account number input interface, etc. the specific content of the content to be displayed is not limited in the present application, and may be determined according to a specific application scenario, and is not limited to the content listed herein.

It can be seen that, different sources of the content to be displayed may be different, and the manner of obtaining the content to be displayed may also be different, for example, the communication interface of the application program is monitored to obtain the content to be displayed received or output by the application program, or the communication interface of the display screen is monitored to obtain the content to be displayed that is sent to the display screen for displaying, and the like.

Step S12, determining an effective output area of a display screen of the electronic equipment;

because the display screen of the electronic equipment can deform at least part of the display output area of the display screen at least when the electronic equipment is in a certain state or in the process of changing the state of the electronic equipment. Therefore, in this embodiment, if the effective output area of the display screen is a partial area of the display output area of the display screen, the ineffective output area of the display screen may be a display output area where the electronic device supports the display screen to deform.

It should be noted that, based on different product structures of the electronic device, the invalid output area of the display screen of the electronic device may be a fixed area in the display output area of the display screen, and may also change with the change of the form of the electronic device, so to say, the invalid output area of the display screen of the electronic device may be dynamically changed, which will be determined according to various factors, such as the product structure of the electronic device, the form change of the use thereof, and the content to be displayed to be output.

In some embodiments, if the form of the electronic device is fixed, the state of the display screen of the electronic device is fixed, so that the electronic device supports the display screen such that the deformed display output area is fixed. For the electronic device with such a structure, if an invalid output area exists on the display screen, the invalid output area may be a specific partial area in the display output area of the display screen.

Taking an electronic device with a fixed tablet structure as an example, as shown in fig. 2a (fig. 2a shows a side view of the electronic device in the second row of the drawing in the first row and a side view of the electronic device in the third row in the direction of the corresponding arrow in the second row of the drawing), and fig. 2b and 2c show a display scene of the tablet electronic device, a display output area of a display screen of the tablet electronic device can be divided into an undeformed first area 11 and a deformed second area 12. In general, the content may be displayed through all of the display output areas of the display screen, that is, the effective output area of the display screen may be all of the display output areas of the display screen, as shown in the schematic view of the display scene shown in fig. 2a, and the first area 11 and the second area 12 may both display the content, and in this scene, it may be considered that no ineffective output area exists in the display screen.

Of course, according to actual requirements, the effective output area of the display screen may be a partial area of the display output area, such as at least a partial area of the first area 11 in fig. 2a, and correspondingly, the ineffective output area of the display screen may be a display output area for supporting the display screen for the electronic device to deform, such as the second area 12 in fig. 2 a. In practical applications, in view of the safety problem of the displayed content, mainly to avoid leakage of the displayed content in the second area 12 (refer to the scenes shown in the first row and the third row of the drawings in fig. 2 a), in this case, the present application may adjust the effective output area of the display screen, for example, the display scene shown in fig. 2a is changed to the display scene shown in fig. 2b (the upper drawing in fig. 2b is a side view in the arrow direction of the electronic device in the following drawings) or fig. 2c, so that the second area no longer outputs the content to be displayed, that is, other users are prevented from viewing the content currently output by the display screen through the second area.

For the display scene shown in fig. 2a, after the effective output area of the display screen is adjusted in the above manner, the effective output area of the display screen may be the entire second area 11, such as the display scene schematic diagram shown in fig. 2b, or may be a partial area 111 in the second area 11, such as the display scene schematic diagram shown in fig. 2c, but is not limited to the positions of the effective output areas in the display screens shown in fig. 2b and fig. 2c, and the effective output area can be flexibly adjusted according to actual situations, which is not described in detail in this application.

In addition, the first area 11 and the second area 12 in the display output area of the display screen of the tablet-type electronic device are not limited to the positions shown in fig. 2a, fig. 2b, and fig. 2c, and the second area 12 may include one or more combinations of left and right side surfaces, top end surfaces, and bottom end surfaces of the tablet-type electronic device, which are not shown in the drawings; and if the first area 11 shown in fig. 2a, 2b, and 2c is the front surface of the electronic device, and both the front surface and the back surface (i.e. the surface corresponding to the front surface) of the electronic device are display screens, the first area 11 of the display screen may further include the back surface of the electronic device, and in order to avoid content leakage, the invalid output area of the display screen may further include the back surface of the electronic device.

It can be seen that, for a tablet electronic device with a fixed form, in different usage scenarios, the effective output area and the ineffective output area of the display screen are not fixed, and the effective output area and the ineffective output area may be determined according to the specific usage scenarios and are not limited to the above listed positions.

In some embodiments, the form of the electronic device may be changed, and for such electronic devices, the state of the display screen of the electronic device may also be changed in the process of changing the form of the electronic device. Referring to the scene diagram of the electronic device shown in fig. 3, the electronic device may be divided into a first body 21, a second body 22 and a third body 23, and the second body 23 and a display screen corresponding to the second body 23 may be deformed.

When the electronic device is in a tablet posture (i.e., a posture when no deformation occurs), as shown in the first row of drawings in fig. 3, the display screen of the electronic device is in a flattened state, and in this case, the effective output area of the display screen may be the whole area of the display output area; if the electronic device is folded to the first folding state shown in the left drawing of the second row in fig. 3 according to the arrow direction in fig. 3, in the process, the second body 21 of the electronic device is deformed, and the display output area of the display screen corresponding to the second body is also deformed correspondingly.

In the process of converting the display screen of the electronic device from the flat state to the bent state, the display output area of the display screen corresponding to the second body 22 of the electronic device can be changed from the effective display area to the ineffective display area, the area can no longer display contents, and the display output area is changed to a black screen, and the like.

Then, if the electronic device is folded toward the third body 23 in the direction indicated by the arrow in fig. 3, the electronic device is in the second folded state shown in the drawing on the right side of the second line in fig. 3, and if the display screen of the electronic device is disposed only on the first surface of the electronic device (for example, on the surface of the drawing on the first line in fig. 3 that displays the picture), the electronic device cannot be viewed by the user even if the display output area of the display screen of the electronic device continues to display the content after the electronic device is in the second folded state, and therefore, after the electronic device is in the second folded state, it can be considered that the display output area of the display screen does not display the content any more, for example, the electronic device enters the standby state.

Based on the above analysis, if the user uses the electronic device to change the electronic device from the first folded state to the flat-plate state, the effective output area of the display screen of the electronic device may be changed from the display output area of the display screen corresponding to the first body 21 and/or the third body 23 to all the display output areas of the display screen, that is, the display output areas of the display screen corresponding to the first body 21, the second body 22, and the third body of the electronic device, the ineffective output area of the display screen of the electronic device in the folded state may be the display output area of the display screen corresponding to the second body 22, and after the electronic device is converted from the folded state to the flat-plate state, the display output area of the display screen corresponding to the second body 22 may be changed from the ineffective output area to the effective output area.

Therefore, for electronic devices with different morphological structures, the invalid output area and the valid output area of the display screen may not be fixed display output areas, which may be determined according to various factors, such as the current posture of the electronic device, or whether the display screen of the electronic device is deformed, the current operating application type of the electronic device, and the like, and is not limited to the above-listed several implementation manners.

It should be noted that, the electronic devices shown in fig. 2a, fig. 2b, fig. 2c and fig. 3 are not limited to the product type of the electronic device, the structure of the display screen and the position relationship thereof with respect to the electronic device body, etc., but only for explaining that the effective output area and the ineffective output area of the display screen of the electronic device may be dynamically variable, and the dynamic change process in the display output area of the display screen for the effective output area and the ineffective output area of the display screen is not limited to the scenes of the above-mentioned embodiments.

And step S13, controlling the effective output area of the display screen to display the content to be displayed.

After the effective output area and the invalid output area of the display screen of the electronic device are analyzed to determine the effective output area and the content to be displayed of the display screen of the electronic device at present, the embodiment directly controls the effective output area of the display screen to display the content to be displayed, instead of directly controlling the whole display output area of the display screen to display the content to be displayed, that is, the display area of the display screen displaying the content to be displayed can be selectively determined, so that the technical problem that the content to be displayed is leaked due to the fact that the content to be displayed can be displayed in the invalid output area of the display screen because the display area displaying the content to be displayed is not selected in the prior art is solved, and the use safety of the electronic device is improved.

Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart illustrating a further alternative embodiment of the display control method provided by the present application, which may still be applied to an electronic device, is shown in fig. 2, where the display control method provided by the present embodiment may include:

step S21, obtaining the content to be displayed and the parameter information of the content to be displayed;

for the content to be displayed of the electronic device, the description of the corresponding portion of the above embodiment may be referred to, and the specific content included in the parameter information of the content to be displayed is not limited in this embodiment, and may be determined according to a condition of whether the effective output area of the display screen of the electronic device needs to be adjusted, and for a condition of whether the effective output area of the display screen needs to be adjusted, the condition may be determined according to an actual requirement, or may be configured by a user of the electronic device, and the like, and the description of the corresponding embodiment below may be referred to, but is not limited to.

Step S22, determining an effective output area of a display screen of the electronic equipment based on the parameter information of the content to be displayed;

and step S23, controlling the effective output area of the display screen to display the content to be displayed.

In this embodiment, the determined effective output areas of the display screen are different due to different parameter information of the content to be displayed, and if the parameter information of the content to be displayed indicates that the content to be displayed does not have privacy information, confidentiality is not required, and all areas of the display output area of the display screen can be determined as effective output areas; on the contrary, if the parameter information of the content to be displayed indicates that the content to be displayed has the privacy information, under the condition that the electronic equipment user wants the privacy information to be kept secret from the outside, all areas of the display output area of the display screen cannot be determined as valid output areas, and partial areas of the display output area of the display screen can be determined as valid output areas, and the invalid output areas of the display screen exist at the moment, namely the electronic equipment supports the display screen to enable the display output area to be deformed, the invalid output area of the display screen cannot display the content, so that the situation that other users know the content to be displayed through the content displayed in the invalid output areas to cause leakage of the content to be displayed is avoided.

For the analysis of the effective output area and the ineffective output area of the display screen, reference may be made to, but not limited to, the description of the corresponding parts in the above embodiments, and details are not described in this embodiment again.

In summary, with the display scene schematic diagrams shown in fig. 2a to 2c, in this embodiment, a current effective output area of the display screen (e.g., the effective output area of the display scene shown in fig. 2b and 2c, i.e., the first area 11) can be flexibly determined according to parameter information of the content to be displayed, so that the effective output area displays the content to be displayed, and the content to be displayed is no longer displayed through the display output area fixed by the display screen (e.g., the effective output area of the display scene shown in fig. 2a, i.e., the area formed by the first area 11 and the second area 12), thereby avoiding information leakage caused by the content to be displayed being displayed in the ineffective output area of the display screen, and improving the use safety and display flexibility of the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 5, a schematic flow chart of yet another alternative embodiment of the display control method proposed in the present application is shown, which may still be applied to an electronic device, and the display control method proposed in the present embodiment may be an alternative detailed example of the display control method described in the above embodiment, and as shown in fig. 5, the method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

step S31, obtaining the content to be displayed;

for the implementation of step S31, reference may be made to the description of the corresponding part of step S11 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated herein.

Step S32, obtaining an application program for representing the content to be displayed;

the specific implementation method of step S32 is not limited in this application, and may be determined according to the generation source of the content to be displayed, or the information type of the received content to be displayed, and if the content to be displayed is a received video, the application program may be a video application program currently installed in the electronic device, and if the content to be displayed is a video, the application program may be a video application program currently installed in the electronic device

Step S33, if the application program of the content to be displayed belongs to the first category, determining the effective output area of the display screen as the partial area in the display output area of the display screen;

step S34, if the application program of the content to be displayed belongs to the second category, determining the effective output area of the display screen as the whole area in the display output area of the display screen;

and step S35, controlling the effective output area of the display screen to display the content to be displayed.

In this embodiment, the effective output area of the display screen may be determined according to the application program type to which the content to be displayed by the electronic device belongs, and if the effective output area of the display screen is the whole area of the display output area in the default state, whether to adjust the effective output area of the display screen may be determined according to the application program type. Based on the inventive concept, it is possible to preset what kind of application (which kind of application can be written as the first kind) is displayed in the content display, and it is necessary to display the content through a partial area in the display output area of the display screen, and what kind of application (which kind of application can be written as the second kind) is displayed in the content display, and the content display can be performed through the entire area in the display output area of the display screen.

In some embodiments, the first category of application programs may include game application programs, some social application programs related to privacy information, application programs related to important information such as virtual resource payment, application programs for displaying monitoring videos, and the like, and a user of the electronic device may also customize, according to actual conditions, specific application programs included in the first category of application programs, and the like; the second type of application may be an application that the electronic device is capable of running, other than the first type of application, and may, of course, be an application that is customized by a user of the electronic device. The application programs included in the first category of application programs and the second category of application programs, and the setting method of the two categories of application programs are not limited.

For example, if a user does not want other users to know what the user is currently doing through the content displayed in the invalid output area of the display screen during the game playing process, the game is determined as the application program of the first category in advance, so that when the content to be displayed obtained by the electronic device is a game scene during the game playing process of the user using the electronic device, the electronic device can directly determine a partial area in the display output area of the display screen as the valid output area due to the fact that the game belongs to the application program of the first category, and only the valid output area is controlled to display the game scene, at this time, the invalid output area does not display the content to be displayed, and the privacy of the user is protected.

It should be understood that the display control process for the contents to be displayed of other applications is similar, and the application is not illustrated.

After determining the respective application programs of the first category application program and the second category application program, a corresponding relationship between the identification information of each application program and the first category or the second category may be established, so that when determining the category to which the application program of the content to be displayed belongs, the identification information of the application program may be acquired, the pre-established corresponding relationship may be queried, and the category of the application program corresponding to the identification information of the application program of the content to be displayed may be acquired, that is, it is determined whether the application program of the content to be displayed belongs to the first category or the second category.

In some embodiments, for the to-be-displayed content of each application program of the first category, the corresponding effective output areas may be the same or different, that is, the to-be-displayed content of the application program of the first category may be displayed through a specific partial area in the display output area of the display screen, or the to-be-displayed content of different application programs of the first category may be displayed through different partial areas in the display output area of the display screen, for example, for the to-be-displayed content of the game scene, the first area 11 may be determined as the effective output area by using a display manner as shown in fig. 2 b; for the video communication window of the social application, the partial area 111 in the first area 11 may be determined as the effective output area in the display manner shown in fig. 2c, but the relationship between the effective output area determined in this example and the entire display output area of the display screen is not limited. The corresponding relation of different partial areas of the display screen corresponding to different application programs of the first category may be preset, or may be determined according to specific content included in the content to be displayed, and the obtaining mode of the corresponding relation is not limited in the present application.

In addition, because the content to be displayed of some application programs is often interactively operated by a user in the display process according to the displayed content, for example, a game application program, the user inputs the content displayed in the effective output area of the display screen through the function buttons, the touch screen and the pickup lamp input device of the electronic device, so that the electronic device responds to an input instruction obtained based on the input operation and controls the corresponding game object to execute a preset operation.

Taking as an example the game operation scene shown in fig. 6 (where the upper drawing is a side view of the finger operation surface of the user of the electronic device shown in the lower drawing), in the above manner, the application program for determining the content to be displayed is a game, such as the content to be displayed is the game scene shown in fig. 6, the game is determined to be the first category application, the game scene is displayed without the whole display output area of the display screen thereof, and the user of the electronic device also wishes to continue playing the game, such as playing the game by operating the virtual function button generated on the surface of the user's index finger in fig. 6, so that, when determining the effective output area of the game scene, the first area 11 can be determined as the effective output area, the second area 12 shown in fig. 6 can be determined as the ineffective output area, at which time the second area 12 shown in fig. 6 will no longer display the game scene, therefore, other users are prevented from knowing the content displayed by the electronic equipment through the second area 12, and the electronic equipment users can conveniently play games through the virtual function buttons in the second area 12.

It should be understood that, for games with different operation modes, the mode and position for determining the effective output area for displaying the content to be displayed are not limited to the above-described content, and a display control mode corresponding to the scene shown in fig. 2c may also be adopted, or for electronic devices with variable forms, a display control mode corresponding to the scene shown in fig. 3 may be adopted to determine the effective output area, and the like, which is not described in detail in this application.

In summary, in this embodiment, for the contents to be displayed of the application programs of different categories, a part of or all of the display output areas of the display screen is selectively determined to be the valid output area, so that the display flexibility of the contents to be displayed is improved, the contents to be displayed of the application programs of the first category are prevented from being displayed in the invalid output area of the display screen, the leakage of the contents to be displayed is avoided, the display security of the contents to be displayed of the application programs of the first category is improved, the full-screen display of the contents to be displayed of the application programs of the second category is not affected, and different display requirements of the user on the contents of the application programs of different categories are met.

Referring to fig. 7, a schematic flow chart of yet another alternative embodiment of the display control method proposed in the present application is shown, which may still be applied to an electronic device, and the display control method proposed in the present embodiment may be yet another alternative detailed example of the display control method described in the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, which may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

step S41, obtaining the content to be displayed;

for the implementation of step S41, reference may be made to the description of the corresponding part of step S11 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated herein.

Step S42, analyzing whether the content to be displayed includes the content meeting the privacy condition, if yes, entering step S43; if not, go to step S44;

step S43, determining the effective output area of the display screen as a partial area in the display output area of the display screen;

step S44, determining the effective output area of the display screen as the whole area of the display output area of the display screen;

and step S45, controlling the effective output area of the display screen to display the content to be displayed.

Compared with the display control method described in the above detailed embodiment, the method for determining the effective output area of the display screen is different between the two embodiments, and the embodiment specifically determines the effective output area in the displayed display output area according to the specific content included in the content to be displayed. In combination with the above analysis for the purpose of the present invention, in order to improve the security of displaying important information (the content of the information is not limited by the present application, and the user may customize configuration, such as account name, password, identity information, specific scene, image of specific location, voice information of specific object, etc.), the user usually wants that the invalid output region of the display screen does not display such information content, that is, the invalid output region can support the display screen by the electronic device to make the deformed display output region, such as the second region 12 in fig. 2a, fig. 2b and fig. 6, or the display output region of the display screen corresponding to the second body 22 of the electronic device in the folded state in fig. 3, etc.

Therefore, for the content to be displayed including the important information, the present embodiment may determine that a partial area in the display output area of the display screen is an effective output area, such as the first area 11 in fig. 2a, 2b and 6 and the partial area 111 of the first area 11 in fig. 2c, or the display output area of the display screen corresponding to the first body 21 and/or the third body 23 of the electronic device in the folded state in fig. 3, or the display output area of the display screen corresponding to the first body 21, the second body 22 and the third body 23 of the electronic device in the flat state, and so on.

Based on the above analysis, the present embodiment may generate a privacy condition according to the above important information, and then, may determine whether the valid output area of the current display screen is a partial area or a whole area of the display output area of the current display screen by analyzing whether the obtained content to be displayed includes content that meets the privacy condition, where the privacy condition may be a default condition or a user-defined condition, and may be determined according to the content to be displayed that the user wishes to invalidate the output area, and the present embodiment does not limit the specific content of the privacy condition.

In some embodiments, the content satisfying the privacy condition may be content including, but not limited to, important information and the like listed above, the specific condition content of the privacy condition may be different for different electronic device users, and the privacy condition may also be different for the same electronic device user in different time periods and/or different physical environments where the electronic device is currently located.

For example, when the user is at rest at home for a while at night, the electronic device is used to display the content to be displayed, and it is considered that there is no situation in which other people watch the displayed content in this scenario. On the contrary, the user watches the content to be displayed in a noisy environment (such as a station, a public place on the road and the like), if the content to be displayed is displayed in a full screen mode, the content leakage may occur, in such a scene, the constraint range of the privacy condition may be increased, if the content to be displayed includes at least one piece of important information listed above, the content to be displayed may be considered to include the content meeting the privacy condition, the content to be displayed is not displayed in the full screen mode, but a partial area in the display output area of the display screen is determined again to be an effective output area, the content to be displayed is only displayed in the partial area, and the security of the content to be displayed in the scene is increased.

It should be noted that, the determination method and content of the privacy condition are not limited to the content described above, and the implementation process is similar, and detailed description is not given in this application.

In summary, in the embodiment, for the content to be displayed including the content satisfying the privacy condition, the application determines a partial area in the display output area of the display screen as the effective output area, and controls only the partial area to display the content to be displayed instead of directly displaying the content in the entire area of the display output area of the display screen as in the conventional scheme, so that the display security of the content satisfying the privacy condition is improved, and the flexibility of the electronic device in determining the display output area of the display content is improved.

In combination with the scenario diagram shown in fig. 3, as shown in fig. 8, for a flowchart of yet another alternative embodiment of the display control method proposed by the present application, different from the manner of determining the effective output area of the display screen of the electronic device described in the above detailed embodiment, the present embodiment will determine the effective output area of the display screen of the electronic device based on the state information for characterizing the state of the display screen, as shown in fig. 8, and the method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

step S51, obtaining the content to be displayed;

for the implementation of step S51, reference may be made to the description of the corresponding part of step S11 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated herein.

Step S52, acquiring state information for representing the state of the display screen;

step S53, if the state information represents that the state of the display screen is a flattening state, determining that the effective output area is the whole area in the display output area of the display screen;

step S54, if the state information represents that the state of the display screen is a bending state, determining that the effective output area is a partial area in the display output area of the display screen;

and step S55, controlling the effective output area of the display screen to display the content to be displayed.

As shown in fig. 3, if the display screen of the electronic device is a flexible screen and can be switched between a flat state and a bent state, and the display screen is in different states, different display output areas of the display screen may cause different probabilities of display content leakage, and the embodiment may determine the effective output area of the current display screen according to the current state of the display screen.

In combination with the description of the corresponding part of the embodiment shown in fig. 3, when the display screen is in the flattened state shown in the first row of drawings in fig. 3, the display output area of the display screen corresponding to the first body 21, the second body 22, and the third body 23 of the electronic device, that is, all the areas in the display output area of the display screen, may be determined as the effective output area of the display screen, and the electronic device may display the content to be displayed in the display manner shown in the first row of drawings in fig. 3.

In the process of dynamically changing the display screen from the flat state to the bent state, as shown in the state shown in each drawing indicated by arrows in fig. 3, the second body 22 of the electronic device will be deformed, and the corresponding display output area of the display screen supported by the second body will be correspondingly deformed, and this embodiment may determine this area as an invalid output area of the display screen, as shown in the drawing on the left side of the second line in fig. 3, this invalid output area no longer displays content, and accordingly, in the process of changing the state of the display screen, the valid output area of the display screen is also changed from the whole area in the display output area of the display screen to a partial area, but the specific position of the partial area in the whole display output area is not limited, and may be the display output area corresponding to the third body 23 shown in the drawing on the left side of the second line in fig. 3, or the display output area corresponding to the first body, even in the case that the display screens of the electronic devices are respectively located on two opposite surfaces of the electronic device, the content may be displayed on a second surface (not shown in the figure) of the electronic device opposite to the first surface of the electronic device, as shown in fig. 3, and the application does not limit the specific position of the invalid output region determined in step S54 in the display output region of the display screen.

For the state information used for representing the state of the display screen, in an implementation manner of some embodiments, the state information may be obtained by acquiring sensing parameters according to a sensing component in the electronic device, where the sensing component may be: the bending sensor or the bending sensor array is disposed in the second body 22 of the electronic device, in this case, the bending angle of the second body 22 of the electronic device can be obtained through the sensing parameters collected by the sensing component, and then the state of the display screen can be determined according to the bending angle.

In the implementation of some embodiments, above-mentioned response subassembly also can be a plurality of light sense sensors, and it can deploy in electronic equipment's flexible screen one side, if deploy around the flexible screen, when electronic equipment is in fold condition, because part body of electronic equipment can shelter from some light sense sensors, so, this application can confirm that which part light sense sensor is sheltered from through the light intensity change that light sense sensor sensed, and then determines the state of display screen.

In still other embodiments, the sensing component may also be an angle sensor, a gravity sensor, a gyroscope, and/or the like in the electronic device, and the parameters sensed by the sensing component are used to determine the state of the electronic device, and further determine the state of the display screen, and the like.

To sum up, for the electronic equipment that the state of display screen can change, can confirm according to the concrete state of current display screen that the effective output area that is used for showing the content of waiting to show is the whole region of the display output area of display screen, still partial region, has improved the flexibility of content display mode, because the display screen is in under the state of buckling, supports the display screen with electronic equipment so that the display output area of deformation confirms as invalid output area, it no longer shows the content, has guaranteed the integrality of the content of waiting to show that the display screen shows.

It should be understood that, for an electronic device whose display screen status can be changed, the display output area of the display screen may include the second area 12 as shown in fig. 2a and fig. 2b, so that, when determining the effective output area of the display screen, the problem of leakage of the display content from the second area 12 may also be considered, and in the case that the display screen status is a bent status, the determined ineffective output area may include the second area 12, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the display security of the content of the electronic device.

In still other embodiments, the present application may further determine an effective output area of the display screen of the electronic device based on the pose information for the pose of the electronic device (e.g., placing the display screen of the electronic device on a desktop facing downward or upward, facing the display screen toward the user's face, making the display screen at a first angle with respect to the horizontal, etc.), wherein if the pose information characterizes the pose of the electronic device as a first type of pose, the effective output area is determined to be all of the display output area of the display screen; if the posture information represents that the posture of the electronic equipment is the second type of posture, the effective output area is determined to be a partial area in the display output area of the display screen, and the determination mode of the first type of posture and the second type of posture and the specific posture included in the first type of posture and the second type of posture are not limited in the application.

In practical applications, the attitude information may be determined according to sensing parameters of sensing components in the electronic device, such as an angle sensor, a gravity sensor, and/or a gyroscope, and the specific determination process of the attitude of the electronic device is not described in detail in this embodiment. In practical application, referring to a scene schematic diagram shown in fig. 9, if it is determined that a display screen of the electronic device is placed on a desktop in an upward direction, all areas of a display output area of the display screen can be controlled to be bright, and an effective output area can be determined according to the above manner to output a content to be displayed; if it is determined that the display screen of the electronic device is placed on the desktop in a downward direction and the display screen of the electronic device still displays content at this time, the effective output area of the display screen may be changed from the entire display output area (such as the display scene shown in the first row of drawings in fig. 9) to the first area 11 blocked by the desktop, and at this time, the second area 12 of the display screen may be blank, such as the display scene shown in the second row of drawings in fig. 9, so as to avoid leakage of the display content through the second area 12. Then, if the display screen of the electronic device is placed on the desktop again, the display of the content to be displayed by the electronic device may still be changed to the display mode shown in the third row of the drawing in fig. 9, that is, the second area of the display screen may be highlighted, and whether the second area is an effective output area may be determined in a manner described in the corresponding part of the above embodiment.

Of course, for the determination of the effective output area, the present application may also determine the specific content included in the content to be displayed on the basis of the above-mentioned posture information. For example, if the content to be displayed is a video call window, it is usually necessary to face a camera of the electronic device to a user, and at this time, the electronic device is placed on a desktop, and in order to avoid leakage of a communication party, the effective output area may be adjusted in the above manner, for example, the content to be displayed is output through a smaller area in the manner shown in fig. 2 c; if the content to be displayed is an advertisement message, the content is not required to be kept secret or even not required to be viewed, and the effective output area of the current display screen is not required to be changed.

It should be noted that, for the implementation manner of determining the effective output area of the display screen, the implementation manner is not limited to the above-listed implementation manners, and in practical applications, the effective output area of the display screen may also be determined comprehensively in combination with the implementation manners described in the foregoing embodiments, and the details of the application are not further described.

Referring to fig. 10, a flowchart of yet another optional embodiment of the display control method provided in the present application is shown, where this embodiment may be a refinement example of how to control the effective output area of the display screen to display the content to be displayed in the foregoing embodiments, but is not limited to the refinement implementation described in this embodiment, and with regard to the process of obtaining the content to be displayed and determining the effective output area of the display screen, reference may be made to descriptions of corresponding parts in the foregoing embodiment, and this embodiment is not repeated. Thus, as shown in fig. 10, the method may include:

step S61, obtaining the content to be displayed;

step S62, determining an effective output area of a display screen of the electronic equipment;

in this embodiment, if the valid output area is a partial area of the display output area of the display screen, and the invalid output area of the display screen is a display output area of the electronic device supporting the display screen to be deformed, as to the determination manner of the valid output area and the invalid output area of the display screen, reference may be made to the description of the corresponding parts of the above embodiments.

Step S63, controlling the effective output area of the display output area to be in the working state and the ineffective output area of the display output area to be in the non-working state;

and step S64, outputting the content to be displayed to the effective output area in an adaptive display mode.

In combination with the description of the effective output area and the ineffective output area of the display screen in the above embodiment, in order to ensure the safety of the display content, the present application expects the ineffective output area not to display the content to be displayed, and the effective output area displays the content to be displayed.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, the effective output area of the display screen may not be a continuous display output area, such as the foldable electronic device shown in fig. 3, for example, a flip phone, and the like, when the electronic device is in a folded state, and the display screen of the electronic device is in a bent state, both the display output area corresponding to the first body 21 and the display output area corresponding to the third body 23 of the electronic device may be determined as effective output areas, that is, there may be two effective output areas in the display output area of the display screen at this time, in this case, the electronic device may adapt to at least one effective output area, and display the content to be displayed through at least one effective output area, that is, the content to be displayed may be displayed through the display output area corresponding to the first body 21 of the electronic device or the display output area corresponding to the third body 23, the content to be displayed may also be displayed jointly by the display output areas corresponding to the first body 21 and the third body 23, which may be determined according to the specific content included in the content to be displayed.

For example, if the content to be displayed is a video or a picture, in order to ensure the integrity of image information, a display output area corresponding to the first body 21 or the third body 23 of the electronic device is usually selected to display the content to be displayed; if the content to be displayed is text information, in order to increase the display area, the display output area corresponding to both the first body 21 and the third body 23 of the electronic device may be selected to display the content to be displayed, but the method is not limited to the implementation method described in this embodiment.

For a fixed tablet electronic device as described above, the determined effective output area may be continuous, so that the content to be displayed can be displayed directly by the effective output area; if the determined effective output areas are multiple, if multiple contents to be displayed are determined, different contents to be displayed are expected to be displayed through different effective output areas, the effective output areas corresponding to the contents to be displayed respectively can be determined according to the above manner, and then the corresponding contents to be displayed are displayed through the effective output areas entering the working state, and the specific control process is not described in detail.

In summary, according to the embodiment, the effective output area and the invalid output area can be determined from the display output area of the display screen according to the obtained content to be displayed, the effective output area is controlled to be in the working state, the invalid output area is controlled to be in the non-working state, and the content to be displayed is adaptively displayed and output to the effective output area, so that the situation that the content to be displayed is displayed in the invalid output area, leakage of the displayed content is caused, and the safety of the displayed content of the electronic device is improved.
