I.e. the processor or the electronic device may implement the operation control method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in an operating system.

The following describes the operation control method according to the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the operation control method flowchart shown in fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of the operation control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, including steps 201 and 202:

step 201: the electronic device receives a first input from a user to the flexible electronic device.

The first input is used for bending the flexible electronic device.

Step 202: and responding to the first input, and executing target operation on the target icon by the electronic equipment according to the folding parameter of the first input.

The target icon is an icon in a target area of a display screen of the electronic device, and the target area is an area determined based on the first input.

Illustratively, the first input may include: the user inputs folding into the flexible electronic device.

Further, the first input may further include: click input, or sliding input of the user to the flexible electronic device, or dragging input of the user to the flexible electronic device, or other feasibility input of the user may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

For example, the first input may be a first operation, i.e., an operation in which the user folds the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can judge whether the user folds the flexible electronic equipment or not by detecting the bending angles of all the areas in the flexible electronic equipment.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the target area is: after the user folds the electronic device, the display area in the electronic device. The first display area includes at least two display areas located on different sides. For example, after the user folds the electronic device, a plurality of display screens are formed in the electronic device to face different display areas, and the plurality of display areas facing different display areas are referred to as display areas of different faces.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the folding parameter includes at least one of: the axis along which the user folds the electronic device is the axis along which the user folds the electronic device, and the angle at which the user folds the electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target icon may be an application icon of the application corresponding to the target icon, an icon for triggering a shortcut of the application corresponding to the target icon, or another icon capable of uniquely identifying the application corresponding to the target icon, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target operation includes at least one of: and moving the target icons, alternately displaying the target icons, deleting the target icons, and adding the target icons to the folder.

According to the operation control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the user forms the first display area by folding the electronic equipment, so that the electronic equipment can execute target operation on the target icons in the target area according to the folding parameters input by the first user. Therefore, a user can conveniently and rapidly manage the application program icons in the electronic equipment through the action of folding the electronic equipment, and the time for searching the required icons is shortened, so that the efficiency for searching the required icons is improved.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target area includes: in the case that the first input bending line divides the target area of the electronic device display screen into a first display area and a second display area, the step 202 includes the step a:

step A: and the electronic equipment exchanges the display positions of the icons on the first subarea in the first display area and the second subarea in the second display area according to the first input folding parameters.

Wherein, there is a correspondence between the first sub-region and the second sub-region.

For example, the partial icons displayed in the first display area and the partial icons displayed in the second display area have a correspondence relationship, that is, the partial icons displayed in the first display area may find the corresponding icons in the second display area.

For example, a mapping relationship exists between the first display area and the second display area, so that an icon displayed in any sub-display area in the first display area has a corresponding relationship with an icon displayed in a corresponding sub-area in the second display area.

When a certain icon in the first display area does not find a corresponding icon in the second display area, the electronic device continues to display the icon at the original position where the icon is located. For example, the electronic device may exchange positions of icons in the first display area and the second display area, where the positions of the icons are overlapped, and the icons that are not overlapped continue to be displayed in the original position where the icons are located.

Illustrating:

example 1: as shown in fig. 3, 19 icons of "APP" are displayed in the display screen 31 (i.e., icons of "APP1" to "APP19" in (a) in fig. 3). When the user wants to fold the electronic device display screen 31 about the axis m, 11 icons of "APP" are displayed in the display area 1 of the electronic device (e.g., 32 in (a) in fig. 3) (i.e., the icon of "APP1" to the icon of "APP4" and the icon of "APP9" to the icon of "APP 12") in (a) in fig. 3), and 8 icons of "APP" are displayed in the display area 2 of the electronic device (e.g., 33 in (a) in fig. 3) (i.e., the icon of "APP5" to the icon of "APP8" and the icon of "APP13" to the icon of "APP 16") in (a) in fig. 3. Wherein, the icon of "APP1" corresponds to the icon of "APP8", the icon of "APP2" corresponds to the icon of "APP7", the icon of "APP3" corresponds to the icon of "APP6", the icon of "APP4" corresponds to the icon of "APP5", the icon of "APP9" corresponds to the icon of "APP16", the icon of "APP10" corresponds to the icon of "APP15", the icon of "APP11" corresponds to the icon of "APP14", and the icon of "APP12" corresponds to the icon of "APP 13".

For example, the correspondence may be: after the user folds the electronic device, it is determined based on the folding operation of the user. I.e. the correspondence described above is related to the folding operation of the user folding the electronic device. For example, after the user folds the electronic device, the display area of the electronic device is split into a first display area and a second display area along the folding line, and the icons in the first display area and the icons in the second display area are in a corresponding relationship along the bending line.

Example 2: as shown in fig. 3, 19 icons of "APP" are displayed in the display screen 31 (i.e., icons of "APP1" to "APP16" in fig. 3). When the user wants to fold the electronic device display 31 in an axis n, like a corner, 1 "APP" icon (i.e., the "APP8" icon in fig. 4) is displayed in the display area 1 (e.g., 34 in fig. 4) of the electronic device, and 1 "APP" icon (i.e., the "APP15" icon in fig. 4) is displayed in the display area 2 (e.g., 35 in fig. 4) of the electronic device. The display area 1 and the display area 2 are formed by folding the user around n as an axis, and the icon of "APP8" and the icon of "APP15" are mapped vertically to each other along the n axis, so that the icon of "APP8" and the icon of "APP15" form a corresponding relationship.

For example, the above target operation may be that the user performs a 180 ° folding operation on the electronic device, and after folding, different display areas of the electronic device touch each other, or may be that the user performs a folding operation of less than 180 ° on the electronic device, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

By way of example, the user may exchange the display positions of the icons on the first sub-region of the first display region and the second sub-region of the second display region by the target operation.

Example 3: taking the display screen of the electronic device as a flexible screen, as shown in fig. 3, the display screen (31 in fig. 3) of the electronic device is in an unfolded state, when the user folds the electronic device back 180 ° along the central axis (m in fig. 3) of the display screen 31, as shown in fig. 3 (b) and (c), the display screen 31 after folding includes a front screen (36 in fig. 3 (b)) and a back screen (37 in fig. 3), and at this time, the display area of the electronic device includes a display area 1 (32 in fig. 3 (b), i.e., the first display area) located in the front screen 36, and a display area 2 (33 in fig. 3 (c), i.e., the second display area) located in the back screen 37.

Then, after the electronic device is folded by the user, the front screen 36 and the back screen 37 touch each other, so that the electronic device is triggered to exchange and display the icons in the front screen 36 and the back screen 37, that is, exchange and display the display positions of the "APP" icons (that is, the target icons) in the display area 1 and the display area 2. Specifically, the display position of the "APP1" icon and the display position of the "APP8" icon are alternately displayed, the display position of the "APP2" icon and the display position of the "APP7" icon are alternately displayed, the display position of the "APP3" icon and the display position of the "APP6" icon are alternately displayed, the display position of the "APP4" icon and the display position of the "APP5" icon are alternately displayed, the display position of the "APP9" icon and the display position of the "APP16" icon are alternately displayed, the display position of the "APP10" icon and the display position of the "APP15" icon are alternately displayed, the display position of the "APP11" icon and the display position of the "APP14" icon are alternately displayed, and the display position of the "APP12" icon and the display position of the "APP13" icon are alternately displayed. Since the display position of the "APP16" icon, the display position of the "APP17" icon, and the display position of the "APP18" icon in the display area 1 do not find the display position of the corresponding icon in the display area 2, the three icons are still displayed in the original display positions.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, before the user folds the electronic device, the user may perform touch input on an icon in a display area of a display screen of the electronic device, trigger an icon replacement mode of the electronic device, and receive the first input.

For example, the touch input may be a long press input, or other feasible inputs.

In combination with example 1, before the user folds the electronic device, by performing long-press input on any icon in a display area on a display screen of the electronic device, the icon in the display area is changed into floating state to be displayed (i.e. the electronic device is triggered to enter an icon replacement mode), at this time, the electronic device is folded, and the electronic device starts to replace the "APP" icon in example 1, so as to complete the replacement of the "APP" icons corresponding to each other.

The operation control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a scene of icon exchange display, and a user can display icons in a display area which cannot be checked by the user in time in the display area which is convenient for the user to check by folding the input of the electronic equipment, so that the user can check all the icons in the electronic equipment in time, and the efficiency of searching the icons by the user is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may enable sub-regions corresponding to each other in different display regions to form a sub-region group by dividing the sub-regions on the current display region, so as to execute the target operation on the target icon in the sub-region group.

For example, in the case where the folding parameter includes a folding angle, before the step a, the operation control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include a step B:

and (B) step (B): the electronic device determines a set of sub-regions corresponding to the folding angle.

Wherein the different folding angles correspond to at least one sub-region group, each sub-region group comprising one sub-region of the first display region and one sub-region of the second display region.

For example, objects (i.e., target icons) of which the electronic device performs the target operation are different from each other in folding angle.

For example, the correspondence between the folding angle and the icon, that is, different folding angles, correspond to different sub-area groups, are pre-stored in the electronic device.

By way of example, each of the above sub-region groups includes two sub-regions, and each of the sub-regions may include one icon or a plurality of icons, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, a sub-region group may be composed of icon columns in different display regions, as shown in fig. 5, the electronic device divides the display region 1 into 4 sub-regions, namely, a sub-region a1, a sub-region a2, a sub-region a3 and a sub-region a4, and the display region 2 is divided into 4 sub-regions, namely, a sub-region b1, a sub-region b2, a sub-region b3 and a sub-region b4, wherein the sub-region a1 and the sub-region b4 are a sub-region group, the sub-region a2 and the sub-region b3 are a sub-region group, and the sub-region a4 and the sub-region b1 are a sub-region group.

The correspondence between the folding angle and the sub-region group may be preset for the electronic device, or may be user-defined, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Illustratively, the folding angles described above are: and when the first operation is completed, the included angle of the display screen of the electronic equipment is included. In one example, the electronic device may determine the folding angle by determining a duration of an included angle of a display screen of the electronic device when the user folds the electronic device. For example, assuming that after the user folds the electronic device, the electronic device changes from an unfolded state to a folded state in which the included angle of the display screen is 60 °, and the folded state stays for T seconds (T is greater than the predetermined threshold), the folding angle is determined to be 60 °, at this time, the electronic device determines the sub-region group according to the current folding angle, and displays the display positions of the sub-regions in the sub-region group in an exchanging manner.

Example 4: taking the display screen of the electronic device as an example of a flexible screen in connection with fig. 5, the display screen 31 of the electronic device is in an unfolded state, and when the user folds the electronic device backwards by 30 ° along the central axis m of the display screen 31 (i.e. the folding angle is the same as θ1 in (a) of fig. 6), the electronic device exchanges and displays the display position of the "APP4" icon and the display position of the "APP12" icon in the sub-area a4 with the display position of the "APP5" icon and the display position of the "APP13" icon in the sub-area b1, because the sub-area a4 and the sub-area b1 in the display screen 31 are a group of sub-areas when the electronic device presets the folding angle to be 30 °.

As shown in fig. 6 (b), when the user folds the electronic device back by 60 ° along the central axis m of the display screen 31 (i.e., the above-mentioned folding angle, such as θ2 in fig. 6 (b)), since the electronic device presets the folding angle to be 60 °, the sub-region a3 and the sub-region b2 in the display screen 31 are a group of sub-regions, and therefore, the electronic device exchanges and displays the display position of the "APP3" icon and the display position of the "APP11" icon in the sub-region a3 with the display position of the "APP6" icon and the display position of the "APP14" icon in the sub-region b 2.

The folding angle may be a range of values or a specific value, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, in connection with example 4, the 30 ° may be a range of values, such as 0 to 30 °, and in the same manner, the 60 ° may be a range of values, such as 30 to 60 °.

The operation control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to the scene of icon exchange display, and a user can accurately exchange and display part or all of icons in a display area which cannot be checked in time in the display area which is convenient for the user to check by using different folding angles according to the user's own needs, so that the user can check the icons to be checked in time in the electronic equipment, and the efficiency of searching the icons by the user is improved.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target area includes: the first input bending line divides the target area of the display screen of the electronic device into a first display area and a second display area, and the electronic device can combine the icons corresponding to each other in the first display area and the second display area into the same folder.

For example, based on the above, in the case that the folder icon is included in the third sub-area in the first display area, the step 202 may include the step C1, or in the case that the folder icon is not included in the third sub-area, the step 202 may include the step C2:

Step C1: the electronic device adds the target icon to the target folder indicated by the folder icon.

Step C2: and the electronic equipment creates a new folder in the first display area and adds the target icon to the new folder.

Wherein the target icon is determined based on the folding parameter; the target icon includes an application icon displayed in the third sub-area and an application icon displayed in a fourth sub-area in the second display area.

For example, if the first display area is a display area facing the user, the third sub-area in the first display area includes a created folder, and when the first icon located in the first display area or the second icon located in the second display area corresponds to the created folder, the electronic device is folded, and then the first icon or the second icon is incorporated into the created folder.

For example, if the first display area is a display area facing the user, the first display area includes a first icon, and the second icon in the second display area corresponds to the first icon, after the electronic device is folded, the first icon or the second icon is merged into a new folder, and the new folder is located in a third sub-area of the first display area facing the user or a fourth sub-area of the second display area.

Example 4: referring to fig. 3, when the front screen of the electronic device touches the rear screen, as shown in fig. 7, the electronic device creates 8 new folders (i.e., folders 1 to 8 in fig. 7) in the display area 1, and merges the icon of "APP1" and the icon of "APP8" into folder 1. Similarly, the icon of "APP2" and the icon of "APP7" are merged into folder 2, the icon of "APP3" and the icon of "APP6" are merged into folder 2, the icon of "APP4" and the icon of "APP5" are merged into folder 4, the icon of "APP9" and the icon of "APP16" are merged into folder 5, the icon of "APP10" and the icon of "APP15" are merged into folder 6, the icon of "APP11" and the icon of "APP14" are merged into folder 7, the icon of "APP12" and the icon of "APP13" are merged into folder 8.

The operation control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a scene of moving the icons to the folder, and the icons in the display area inconvenient for the user to view in the folded electronic equipment can be displayed in the display area convenient for the user to view, so that the requirement of the user on using the large-screen electronic equipment can be met, and the requirement of the user on viewing all the icons in the folded state can be met.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target icon includes at least two icons, the folding parameter includes a folding direction, and the electronic device may control the icons to be combined into different display areas corresponding to the folding direction according to different folding directions.

For example, the following step D1 may be included in combination with the above step C1, or the following step D2 may be included in combination with the above step C2:

step D1: the electronic device adds the target icon to the target folder indicated by the folder icon.

Step D2: and the electronic equipment displays the at least two icons in the newly-built folder according to the arrangement mode of the target icons.

Wherein the target icon arrangement mode is related to the folding direction.

For example, the arrangement manner of the target icons may include an arrangement order of the target icons.
