In one embodiment, in the first function control column 33, the color of the function button corresponding to the function currently in the activated state is different from the color of the function button corresponding to the function currently in the inactivated state.

In one embodiment, the display module 202 may divide the first main display area 32 into a plurality of sub-areas. In one embodiment, the plurality of sub-areas may be respectively used for displaying user interfaces corresponding to different applications of the in-vehicle apparatus 1.

In one embodiment, the display module 202 may divide the first main display area 32 into the plurality of sub-areas in response to a user input.

In one embodiment, the display module 202 may preset a plurality of user operations, and different user operations correspond to dividing the first main display area 32 into different preset numbers of sub-areas. That is, how many sub-regions the first main display area 32 is divided into is determined according to which operation a user operation belongs to preset. In one embodiment, the size of each of the plurality of sub-regions may be preset by the display module 202.

For example, the display module 202 may preset three user operations, which include a first user operation, a second user operation, and a third user operation. For example, the first user operation may refer to that two fingers of the user slide on the first main display area 32 at the same time and the distance between the two fingers gradually increases. The second user operation may mean that three fingers of the user slide on the first main display area 32 at the same time and the distances between the three fingers gradually increase. The third user operation may mean that four fingers of the user slide on the first main display area 32 at the same time and the distances between the four fingers gradually increase. When the display module 202 detects the first user operation, the display module 202 divides the first main display area 32 into three sub-areas. When the display module 202 detects the second user operation, the display module 202 divides the first main display area 32 into four sub-areas. When the display module 202 detects the third user operation, the display module 202 divides the first main display area 32 into five sub-areas.

In one embodiment, the display module 202 may further specify the content displayed by each of the plurality of sub-regions in response to a user input.

For example, when the display module 202 detects a long-press signal (e.g., pressing for more than 5 seconds) from a sub-area of the plurality of sub-areas, the names of the plurality of applications are displayed to the user for selection, and the user interface corresponding to the application selected by the user is displayed in the sub-area.

In the embodiment, the sub-regions include a first sub-display region 321, a second sub-display region 322, and a third sub-display region 323 as an example.

In one embodiment, the first sub-display area 321 may be used for displaying a navigation interface of the first navigation application 17. For example, the geographic location at which the vehicle 100 is currently located, the destination location, the suggested navigation route, and alternative navigation routes, etc. may be displayed. The second sub-display area 322 may be used to display a music playing interface of the first music application 18. For example, a name of music currently played or to be played by the first music application 18, a cover picture corresponding to the currently played or to be played music, and the like may be displayed. The third sub-display area 323 may be used to display user interfaces corresponding to other applications of the in-vehicle apparatus 1 or to display icons of respective applications used by the in-vehicle apparatus 1 within a preset time period (e.g., within the last week).

For example, referring to fig. 4A, the third sub-display area 323 displays an icon 3231 corresponding to the first music application 18, an icon 3232 corresponding to the parking function, an icon 3233 corresponding to the radio function, and an icon 3234 corresponding to the USB connection function, which have been run for the last week by the in-vehicle apparatus 1.

In one embodiment, the third sub-display section 323 may further display a specific icon 3230, and the specific icon 3230 is used for triggering display of icons of all applications of the in-vehicle apparatus 1. For example, when the display module 202 receives a touch signal generated by a user touching the specific icon 3230, the display module 202 may display icons corresponding to all applications of the in-vehicle device 1 to the user.

In one embodiment, when the display module 202 has divided the first main display area 32 into a plurality of sub-areas (for example, when the first main display area 32 is divided into the first sub-display area 321, the second sub-display area 322, and the third sub-display area 323), the display module 202 further receives a designation signal, and determines one of the plurality of sub-areas as a target area when receiving the designation signal, wherein the target area corresponds to the designation signal. The display module 202 determines what the target area is currently displaying. The display module 202 may further merge the sub-regions into one region in response to the designation signal (the merged region is the region where the first main display region 32 is located, i.e., the first main display region 32 is not divided into a plurality of regions). The display module 202 may further hide/close the content displayed in the sub-areas other than the target area, and display the content currently displayed in the target area and/or the other content related to the content currently displayed in the target area in the merged area. In one embodiment, the display module 202 displays the content currently displayed in the target area in the merged area after zooming in.

In one embodiment, the display module 202 combines the sub-areas into one area in response to the designation signal while maintaining the size, position, and shape of the area where the first status display area 31 and the first function control column 33 are located.

In the first embodiment, the designation signal is a first signal, and the first signal may be a signal received from the first sub-display area 321 (for example, a sliding signal generated by sliding a preset distance, for example, 2 centimeters, from left to right or from right to left in the first sub-display area 321), or a signal generated by rotating a first designated hardware knob (not shown in the figure) on the in-vehicle device 1, or a signal generated by pressing a first designated hardware button (not shown in the figure) on the in-vehicle device 1.

In one embodiment, the display module 202 may associate the first signal with the first sub-display area 321 in advance, so that when the first signal is received, it may be determined that the first signal corresponds to the first sub-display area 321, and determine that the first sub-display area 321 is a target area from the plurality of sub-areas, and determine content currently displayed by the target area. The display module 202 further merges the sub-regions (such as the first sub-display region 321, the second sub-display region 322, and the third sub-display region 323) into a region (the merged region is the region where the first main display region 32 is located, i.e. the first main display region 32 is not divided into a plurality of regions). The display module 202 further hides/closes the contents displayed in the sub-areas (i.e., the second sub-display area 322 and the third sub-display area 323) except for the target area (i.e., the first sub-display area 321) from the plurality of sub-areas, and displays the contents currently displayed in the target area and/or the other contents related to the contents currently displayed in the target area in the merged area.

In one embodiment, the other content related to the content currently displayed in the first sub-display area 321 includes a shortcut bar of the in-vehicle device 1.

In one embodiment, the display module 202 displays the shortcut bar of the vehicle-mounted device 1 and also displays the detail information corresponding to one of the shortcut bars. In one embodiment, the one of the shortcuts may refer to a shortcut tool located at a first position in the shortcut bar.
