It should be understood that the interface connection relationship between the modules illustrated in the embodiment of the present application is only an exemplary illustration, and does not constitute a limitation on the structure of the mobile phone 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may also adopt different interface connection manners or a combination of multiple interface connection manners in the above embodiments.

The charging management module 140 is configured to receive charging input from a charger. The charger may be a wireless charger or a wired charger. In some wired charging embodiments, the charging management module 140 may receive charging input from a wired charger via the USB interface 130.

The wireless communication function of the mobile phone 100 can be implemented by the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the rf module 150, the communication module 160, the modem processor, and the baseband processor.

The

antennas

1 and 2 are used for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in the handset 100 may be used to cover a single or multiple communication bands. Different antennas can also be multiplexed to improve the utilization of the antennas. For example: the antenna 1 may be multiplexed as a diversity antenna of a wireless local area network. In other embodiments, the antenna may be used in conjunction with a tuning switch.

In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the rf module 150 may be disposed in the processor 110. In some embodiments, at least some functional modules of the rf module 150 may be disposed in the same device as at least some modules of the processor 110.

The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used for modulating a low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used for demodulating the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then passes the demodulated low frequency baseband signal to a baseband processor for processing. The low frequency baseband signal is processed by the baseband processor and then transferred to the application processor. The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio device (not limited to the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, etc.) or displays an image or video through the flexible screen 301. In some embodiments, the modem processor may be a stand-alone device.

The mobile phone 100 realizes the display function through the GPU, the flexible screen 301, and the application processor. The GPU is a microprocessor for image processing, connecting the flexible screen 301 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. The processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or alter display information. In the present embodiment, the flexible screen 301 may include a display and a touch device therein. The display is used to output display content to a user and the touch device is used to receive touch events input by the user on the flexible screen 301.

As shown in fig. 3A (a), the flexible screen 301 can be displayed as a complete display area in the expanded state. The user may fold the screen along one or more fold axes in the flexible screen 301. The position of the folding axis may be preset, or may be arbitrarily selected by the user in the flexible screen 301.

As shown in (b) of fig. 3A, after the user folds the flexible screen 301 along the folding axis AB in the flexible screen 301, the display interface of the mobile phone 100 can be divided into two display interfaces, i.e., display interface 1 and display interface 2, along the folding axis AB. In this embodiment of the application, the folded display interface 1 and the display interface 2 may be displayed as two independent display areas. For example, the display interface 1 may be referred to as a main screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 may be referred to as a sub-screen of the mobile phone 100. The display areas of the main screen and the sub screen may be the same or different. Alternatively, the display interface 1 may be referred to as a large screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 may be referred to as a small screen of the mobile phone 100. Alternatively, the display interface 1 may be referred to as an inner screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 may be referred to as an outer screen of the mobile phone 100.

The following description will be given taking an example in which the display interface 1 is referred to as a main screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 is referred to as a sub-screen of the mobile phone 100.

It should be noted that, after the user folds the flexible screen 301 along the folding axis AB, the main screen and the sub screen may be arranged oppositely, or the main screen and the sub screen may also be deviated from each other. As shown in fig. 3A (c), after the user folds the flexible screen 301, the main screen and the sub-screen are separated from each other, and both the main screen and the sub-screen are exposed to the external environment, so that the user can use the main screen to display or the sub-screen to display.

In some embodiments, after the user folds the flexible screen 301, the screen (also referred to as a side screen) at the bent portion may also serve as an independent display interface, and in this case, the flexible screen 301 is divided into three independent display interfaces, namely a main screen, a sub screen and a side screen, as shown in fig. 3A (c).

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3B, the flexible screen 301 has a size of 2480 × 2200 (in pixels) with a screen ratio of 8: 7.1. Wherein the width of the folding axis AB on the flexible screen 301 is 166. After being folded along the folding axis AB, the area of the right side of the flexible screen 301 with the size of 2480 × 1144 (unit is pixel), the screen ratio of 19.5:9, is divided into a main screen; the flexible screen 301 is sized 2480 × 890 (in pixels) on the left side, and the area with a screen ratio of 25:9 is divided into sub-screens. In this case, the folding axis AB of 2480 × 166 serves as a side screen. It should be understood that: the folding axis referred to herein is merely for convenience of understanding, and the folding axis may also be referred to as a folding band or a dividing line or a dividing band, etc., and is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 4, when the user folds the flexible screen 301, an angle is formed between the divided main screen and the sub-screen. In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may calculate the angle between the main screen and the sub-screen according to the data detected by one or more sensors.

Illustratively, a gyroscope and an acceleration sensor may be provided on the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 of the cellular phone 100, respectively. The gyroscope on the main screen 41 can detect the rotational angular velocity of the main screen 41 when it rotates, and the acceleration sensor on the main screen 41 can detect the acceleration generated when the main screen 41 moves. Further, the cellular phone 100 can determine the magnitude and direction of the gravity G from the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor on the main screen 41. Similarly, the mobile phone 100 can determine the magnitude and direction of the gravity G according to the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor on the sub-screen 42. Alternatively, if the magnitude and direction of the gravity G can be detected using the sensor a, the sensor a may be provided on the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42, respectively. For example, a gyroscope and an acceleration sensor may be integrated into one sensor provided on the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42, respectively.

As shown in fig. 4, the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 may be provided with corresponding coordinate systems. For example, a cartesian coordinate system O1 may be provided in the secondary screen 42, with the x-axis of cartesian coordinate system O1 being parallel to the shorter sides of the secondary screen 42, the y-axis being parallel to the longer sides of the secondary screen 42, and the z-axis being directed out of the secondary screen 42 perpendicular to the plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis. Similarly, a Cartesian coordinate system O2 may be provided in the main screen 41, with the Cartesian coordinate system O2 having an x-axis parallel to the shorter sides of the main screen 41 and a y-axis parallel to the longer sides of the main screen 41, and a z-axis directed into the main screen 41 perpendicular to the plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis.

For example, the gyro and acceleration sensor in the sub-screen 42 may detect the magnitude and direction of the gravity G in the cartesian coordinate system O1, and the gyro and acceleration sensor in the main screen 41 may detect the magnitude and direction of the gravity G in the cartesian coordinate system O2. Since the cartesian coordinate system O1 points in the same direction as the y-axis in the cartesian coordinate system O2, the component G1 of the gravity G in the x-axis and z-axis planes in the cartesian coordinate system O1 is equal in magnitude but different in direction from the component G2 of the gravity G in the x-axis and z-axis planes in the cartesian coordinate system O2. At this time, the angle between the component G1 and the component G2 is the angle between the cartesian coordinate system O1 and the cartesian coordinate system O2, and is also the angle β between the sub-screen 42 and the main screen 41.

Therefore, the mobile phone 100 can obtain the angle β between the sub-screen 42 and the main screen 41 by calculating the angle between the component G1 of the gravity G in the cartesian coordinate system O1 and the component G2 of the gravity G in the cartesian coordinate system O2. It will be appreciated that the angle β between the primary screen 41 and the secondary screen 42 is within the closed range of 0 to 180.

For example, as shown in fig. 5A (a), when the included angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub screen 42 is greater than a first threshold value (e.g., 170 °), the cellular phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the unfolded state. As shown in (b) of fig. 5A, when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is smaller than a second threshold value (e.g., 20 °), the cellular phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the folded state. Still alternatively, as shown in fig. 5A (c), when the included angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is within a preset interval (e.g., between 40 ° and 60 °), the mobile phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the cradle state. In the embodiment of the present application, the physical form of the flexible screen 301 may be divided into an unfolded state and a non-unfolded state, and the physical form of the flexible screen 301 other than the unfolded state may be referred to as the non-unfolded state. For example, the above-described stand state and folded state are both non-unfolded states.

Correspondingly, as shown in (a) of fig. 5B, when the included angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub screen 42 is greater than a first threshold value (e.g., 170 °), the cellular phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the unfolded state. As shown in (B) of fig. 5B, when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is smaller than a second threshold value (e.g., 20 °), the cellular phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the folded state. Still alternatively, as shown in fig. 5B (c), when the included angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is within a preset interval (e.g., between 40 ° and 60 °), the mobile phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the cradle state.

The mobile phone 100 is provided with a gyroscope sensor and an acceleration sensor, so that the mobile phone can determine the state of the flexible screen 301, and the state of the flexible screen 301 can also be determined in other manners, for example, by providing a gravity sensor and an acceleration sensor on the mobile phone, and the like.

In the present embodiment, the cellular phone 100 may light one of the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 when the flexible screen 301 is in the folded state or the stand state. For example, the cell phone 100 may illuminate the main screen 41 or the cell phone 100 may illuminate a screen closer to the user. If the mobile phone 100 lights the main screen 41, after the mobile phone 100 detects that the user opens the game application, the display interface of the corresponding game application can be displayed through the main screen 41, and at this time, the pixel size on the main screen 41 can be 2480 × 1144; when a user switches the flexible screen 301 from a folded state or a support state to an unfolded state in a game playing process, the mobile phone 100 can light the main screen 41 and the auxiliary screen 42 as a complete display screen, at this time, the pixel size on the large screen can be 2480 × 2200, compared with the prior art that an interface of a game application is only displayed on the main screen 41, the visual field range in the X direction is kept unchanged, and the visual field range in the Y direction is expanded, so that the expansion of the game visual field area is realized; or the visual field range in the X direction is cut, the visual field range in the Y direction is expanded, and the cutting of the visual field range in the X direction can be compensated through the expansion of the visual field range in the Y direction, so that the visual field area can be basically kept unchanged in the process of switching from main screen display to large screen display, and the fairness of the game is guaranteed.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, in the display state of the home screen, the interface of the game application may be displayed through the display interface 1, and the window of the display interface 1 includes a long side and a short side; the interface of the game application can be displayed in a full screen mode through the flexible screen in a large screen display state, and the window in the full screen display mode of the flexible screen comprises a long edge and a short edge. The X direction may be a direction of a long side of the display interface 1 or a direction of the long side when the flexible screen is displayed in full screen; the Y direction may be a direction in which a short side of the display interface 1 is located or a direction in which the short side is located when the flexible screen is displayed in full screen.

In one embodiment, the size of the long side of the display interface 1 and the size of the long side of the flexible screen when displayed in full screen may be the same. Or the pixel value corresponding to the long edge of the display interface 1 may be the same as the pixel value corresponding to the long edge when the flexible screen displays full screen. As shown in fig. 3B, the pixel value corresponding to the long edge of the display interface 1 is 2480, and the pixel value corresponding to the long edge when the flexible screen is displayed in a full screen is 2480.

In one embodiment, the size of the short side of the display interface 1 is smaller than the size of the short side when the flexible screen is displayed full screen. Or the pixel value corresponding to the long edge of the display interface 1 is smaller than the pixel value corresponding to the long edge when the flexible screen is displayed in a full screen mode; or the ratio of the pixel value corresponding to the long edge of the display interface 1 to the pixel value corresponding to the long edge when the flexible screen is displayed in full screen is smaller than 1. As shown in fig. 3B, the pixel value corresponding to the short side of the display interface 1 is 1144, and the pixel value corresponding to the long side when the flexible screen is displayed in full screen is 2200.

For example, the X direction may be a direction corresponding to a long side of the main screen or the large screen, and the Y direction may be a direction corresponding to a short side of the main screen or the large screen. For example. The pixel ratio of length to width in the main screen state is 19.5:9, wherein the X direction is a direction corresponding to 19.5, and the Y direction is a direction corresponding to 9. For another example, the pixel ratio of the length to the width in the large screen state is 8:7.1, where the X direction is the direction corresponding to 8 and the Y direction is the direction corresponding to 7.1. Alternatively, the X direction may be a direction in which a side having a large number of pixels is located, and the Y direction may be a direction in which a side having a small number of pixels is located.

It should also be understood that the visual field range in the embodiment of the present application is related to the visual frame in the interface of the game application, and the expansion of the visual field range in the Y direction may be understood as more and richer content or information displayed in the Y direction.

The sensor module 180 may include one or more of a gyroscope, an acceleration sensor, a pressure sensor, an air pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor (e.g., a hall sensor), a distance sensor, a proximity light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a temperature sensor, a touch sensor, a pyroelectric infrared sensor, an ambient light sensor, or a bone conduction sensor, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The cell phone 100 may implement a shooting function through the ISP, the camera 193, the video codec, the GPU, the flexible screen 301, and the application processor, etc.

The ISP is used to process the data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when a photo is taken, the shutter is opened, light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens, the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing and converting into an image visible to naked eyes. The ISP can also carry out algorithm optimization on the noise, brightness and skin color of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure, color temperature and the like of a shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be provided in camera 193.

The camera 193 is used to capture still images or video. The object generates an optical image through the lens and projects the optical image to the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may be a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The light sensing element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then passed to the ISP where it is converted into a digital image signal. And the ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into image signal in standard RGB, YUV and other formats. In some embodiments, the handset 100 may include 1 or N cameras 193, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

The digital signal processor is used for processing digital signals, and can process digital image signals and other digital signals. For example, when the handset 100 is in frequency bin selection, the digital signal processor is used to perform fourier transform or the like on the frequency bin energy.

Video codecs are used to compress or decompress digital video. Handset 100 may support one or more video codecs. Thus, the handset 100 can play or record video in a variety of encoding formats, such as: moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) 1, MPEG2, MPEG3, MPEG4, and the like.

The NPU is a neural-network (NN) computing processor that processes input information quickly by using a biological neural network structure, for example, by using a transfer mode between neurons of a human brain, and can also learn by itself continuously. The NPU can realize applications such as intelligent recognition of the mobile phone 100, for example: image recognition, face recognition, speech recognition, text understanding, and the like.

The external memory interface 120 may be used to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to extend the storage capability of the mobile phone 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 110 through the external memory interface 120 to implement a data storage function. For example, files such as music, video, etc. are saved in an external memory card.

The internal memory 121 may be used to store computer-executable program code, which includes instructions. The processor 110 executes various functional applications of the cellular phone 100 and data processing by executing instructions stored in the internal memory 121. The internal memory 121 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. The storage program area may store an operating system, an application program (such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, etc.) required by at least one function, and the like. The data storage area may store data (e.g., audio data, a phonebook, etc.) created during use of the handset 100, and the like. In addition, the internal memory 121 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may further include a nonvolatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash memory (UFS), and the like.

The mobile phone 100 can implement audio functions through the audio module 170, the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, the microphone 170C, the earphone interface 170D, and the application processor. Such as music playing, recording, etc.

The audio module 170 is used to convert digital audio information into an analog audio signal output and also to convert an analog audio input into a digital audio signal. The audio module 170 may also be used to encode and decode audio signals. In some embodiments, the audio module 170 may be disposed in the processor 110, or some functional modules of the audio module 170 may be disposed in the processor 110.

The speaker 170A, also called a "horn", is used to convert the audio electrical signal into an acoustic signal. The cellular phone 100 can listen to music through the speaker 170A or listen to a hands-free call.

The receiver 170B, also called "earpiece", is used to convert the electrical audio signal into an acoustic signal. When the cellular phone 100 receives a call or voice information, it is possible to receive voice by placing the receiver 170B close to the ear of the person.

The microphone 170C, also referred to as a "microphone," is used to convert sound signals into electrical signals. When making a call or transmitting voice information, the user can input a voice signal to the microphone 170C by speaking the user's mouth near the microphone 170C. The handset 100 may be provided with at least one microphone 170C. In other embodiments, the handset 100 may be provided with two microphones 170C to achieve noise reduction functions in addition to collecting sound signals. In other embodiments, the mobile phone 100 may further include three, four or more microphones 170C to collect sound signals, reduce noise, identify sound sources, and implement directional recording functions.

The motor 191 may generate a vibration cue. The motor 191 may be used for incoming call vibration cues, as well as for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations applied to different applications (e.g., photographing, audio playing, etc.) may correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The motor 191 may also respond to different vibration feedback effects for touch operations applied to different areas of the flexible screen 301. Different application scenes (such as time reminding, receiving information, alarm clock, game and the like) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect may also support customization.

Indicator 192 may be an indicator light that may be used to indicate a state of charge, a change in charge, or a message, missed call, notification, etc.

The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect a SIM card. The SIM card can be attached to and detached from the cellular phone 100 by being inserted into the SIM card interface 195 or being pulled out from the SIM card interface 195. The handset 100 may support 1 or N SIM card interfaces, N being a positive integer greater than 1. The SIM card interface 195 may support a Nano SIM card, a Micro SIM card, a SIM card, etc. The same SIM card interface 195 can be inserted with multiple cards at the same time. The types of the plurality of cards may be the same or different. The SIM card interface 195 may also be compatible with different types of SIM cards. The SIM card interface 195 may also be compatible with external memory cards. The mobile phone 100 interacts with the network through the SIM card to implement functions such as communication and data communication. In some embodiments, the handset 100 employs esims, namely: an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the mobile phone 100 and cannot be separated from the mobile phone 100.

The software system of the mobile phone 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. The embodiment of the present application exemplifies a software structure of the mobile phone 100 by taking an Android system with a layered architecture as an example.

Fig. 6A is a block diagram of a software configuration of the mobile phone 100 according to the embodiment of the present application.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each layer having a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library, and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

The application layer may include a series of application packages.

As shown in fig. 6A, applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, game, bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc. may be installed in the application layer.

The application framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application program of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions.

As shown in fig. 6A, the application framework layer may include a display policy management service (DMS), a Power Manager Service (PMS), and a Display Manager Service (DMS). Of course, the application framework layer may further include an activity manager, a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Wherein the display policy management service may be used to obtain the specific physical form of the current flexible screen from the underlying display system. Further, the display policy management service may determine display parameters according to the specific physical form of the flexible screen. For example, the display parameters may include a display size of a field of view in the X or Y direction under the main screen, a display size of a field of view in the X or Y direction under the sub screen, or a display size of a field of view in the X or Y direction under the large screen, and the like.

Illustratively, when the mobile phone detects that a user starts a non-battle game (or a battle game without field fairness constraint on the game) and the flexible screen of the mobile phone is in a folded state or a support state, the field range of the game interface displayed on the main screen in the X direction is a first field range, and the field range in the Y direction is a second field range; when the mobile phone detects that the flexible screen is in a folded state or the support state is changed into an unfolded state, the mobile phone can keep the visual field range in the X direction unchanged and widen the visual field range in the Y direction to a third visual field range when the mobile phone lights the large screen, and the third visual field range is larger than the second visual field range. Therefore, after the game is switched to the large-screen display, the visual field area of the game displayed on the whole large-screen is increased compared with the visual field area of the game displayed on the main screen, and the game experience of the user during game playing is improved.

Illustratively, when the mobile phone detects that a user starts a battle game with visual field fairness constraint on the game, and the flexible screen of the mobile phone is in a folded state or a support state, the visual field range of the game interface displayed on the main screen in the X direction is a fourth visual field range, and the visual field range in the Y direction is a fifth visual field range; when the mobile phone detects that the flexible screen is in a folded state or the support state is changed into an unfolded state, the mobile phone can enable the visual field range in the X direction to be reduced to a sixth visual field range while the mobile phone lights the large screen, the visual field range in the Y direction is widened to a seventh visual field range, the fourth visual field range is larger than the sixth visual field range, and the fifth visual field range is smaller than the seventh visual field range. Therefore, after the game is switched to the large-screen display, the visual field area of the game displayed on the whole large-screen is basically kept unchanged compared with the visual field area of the game displayed on the main screen, and on the premise of ensuring the game fairness, the widening of the visual field range in the Y direction is beneficial to improving the game experience of the user when the user plays the game.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, for the display parameters of the battle type game or the non-battle type game on the main screen, the sub screen or the large screen may be issued to the mobile phone by the game server, and the display policy management service may determine which display parameter to use according to the specific physical form of the flexible screen, so as to notify the Display Management Service (DMS) of the corresponding display parameter. The DMS may display on a flexible screen through a surfefringer and display drivers. As also shown in fig. 6A, the system library and the kernel layer below the application framework layer, etc. may be referred to as an underlying system, which includes an underlying display system for providing display services, for example, the underlying display system includes a display driver in the kernel layer and a surface manager in the system library, etc. In addition, the bottom layer system in the application further comprises a state monitoring service for identifying the physical form change of the flexible screen, and the state monitoring service can be independently arranged in the bottom layer display system and can also be arranged in a system library and/or a kernel layer.

For example, the status monitoring service may invoke a sensor service (sensor service) to initiate a sensor such as a gyroscope or an acceleration sensor to detect. The state monitoring service can calculate the included angle between the current main screen and the auxiliary screen according to the detection data reported by each sensor. Therefore, the state monitoring service can determine that the flexible screen is in a physical state such as an unfolding state, a folding state or a bracket state through an included angle between the main screen and the auxiliary screen. And, the state monitoring service may report the determined physical form to the display policy management service.

Similar to fig. 6A, as shown in fig. 6B, a schematic diagram of data flow inside the android operating system is shown. For example, the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor in the hardware layer may report the detected data to the sensor driver, and the sensor driver reports the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor to the state monitoring service through the sensor service. The state monitoring service can determine the included angle between the main screen and the auxiliary screen according to data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor, and further determine the physical form of the flexible screen. Furthermore, the state monitoring service can report the determined physical form of the mobile phone flexible screen to the display policy management service, and the display policy management service decides the display parameters on the current flexible screen. The display policy management service may notify a Display Management Service (DMS) of the determined display parameters. For example, when the mobile phone flexible screen is in the large-screen display mode, the DMS may power up the entire flexible screen through the surfactin and the display driver and display a game display interface according to corresponding display parameters in the large-screen display mode, and the DMS may notify a Window Manager Service (WMS) to create a corresponding window on the flexible screen for display.

In one embodiment, after the mobile phone detects that the user clicks on a game application (e.g., APP 3), the mobile phone may communicate with the game server, and the mobile phone may send a mobile phone model to the game server, where the mobile phone model is mainly used for the game server to identify whether the mobile phone is a folding screen mobile phone. If the game server judges that the mobile phone is a folding screen mobile phone according to the mobile phone model, the game configuration parameters in different flexible screen forms can be issued to the mobile phone, and the game configuration parameters in different forms can be stored in the game application of the corresponding layer.

In another embodiment, after the mobile phone detects that the user clicks on the game application (APP 3, for example), the mobile phone may communicate with the game server, and the mobile phone may send the model of the mobile phone and the current display state of the current flexible screen of the mobile phone to the game server. The game server can send game configuration parameters corresponding to the current display state of the flexible screen of the mobile phone to the mobile phone.

For example, when the mobile phone is in the folded state or the stand state, only the main screen of the flexible screen of the mobile phone is lighted, and then the mobile phone can inform the game server that the main screen of the mobile phone is in the lighted state. After obtaining the model of the mobile phone and the current display state of the flexible screen of the mobile phone, the game server can send the corresponding game configuration parameters in the display state of the main screen to the mobile phone.

When the mobile phone is switched from the folding state or the support state to the unfolding state, the mobile phone flexible screen is switched from the main screen display to the large screen display, and at the moment, the mobile phone can continuously send the display mobile phone model and the current display state of the mobile phone flexible screen to the game server. The game server can return the corresponding game configuration parameters in the large screen display state to the mobile phone after receiving the game configuration parameters.

After the mobile phone acquires the game configuration parameters in the corresponding screen form from the game server, the game configuration parameters can be stored in the game application. After determining the physical form of the flexible screen of the mobile phone, the display policy management service may request the game application (e.g., APP 3 in the figure) for the corresponding game configuration parameters, and the game application issues the corresponding game configuration parameters to the display policy management service. The display policy management service may send the corresponding game configuration parameters to the DMS, and the DMS performs display of the game interface on the flexible screen through the surfefinger and the display driver.

The Android Runtime comprises a core library and a virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing an Android system.

The core library comprises two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. And executing java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer into a binary file by the virtual machine. The virtual machine is used for performing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, safety and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. For example: surface managers (surface managers), Media Libraries (Media Libraries), three-dimensional graphics processing Libraries (e.g., OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL), and the like. The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The media library supports a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, and still image files, among others. The media library may support a variety of audio-video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, and the like. The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like. The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver, a sensor driver and the like, and the embodiment of the application does not limit the display driver, the camera driver, the audio driver, the sensor driver and the like.

A display method of an electronic device with a flexible screen according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings by taking a mobile phone as an example of the electronic device.

Fig. 7 shows a set of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) of the mobile phone, in which, from fig. 7A to 7D, the process of switching the mobile phone flexible screen from the main screen display state to the large screen display state when the user plays a battle game (e.g., royal glory) with a view fairness constraint on the game is shown.

Referring to the GUI shown in FIG. 7A, the GUI is the desktop of a cell phone. At the moment, the mobile phone is in a folded state, the main screen can be lightened by the mobile phone, a mobile phone desktop is displayed on the main screen, and one or more Application (APP) icons are included on the mobile phone desktop. These icons may include an icon of a browser, an icon of a calculator, an icon of weather, an icon of reading, an icon of a photo album, and an icon 701 of the game application 1. When the mobile phone detects an operation of clicking the icon 701 by the user, a GUI as shown in fig. 7B may be displayed.

When the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the icon 710, the mobile phone can send the model of the mobile phone to a server corresponding to the game; after receiving the mobile phone model sent by the mobile phone, the game server may send the game configuration parameters in each screen form to the mobile phone if the mobile phone is determined to be a folding screen mobile phone or if the mobile phone is determined to have a plurality of screen forms.

Illustratively, table 1 shows display parameters of the server for different display states of the flexible screen of the mobile phone.

TABLE 1

Screen shape	Game configuration parameters
		Main screen display state (19.5:9)	Game configuration parameters 1
Secondary screen display status (19.5:9)	Game configuration parameters 2
		Big screen display state (8:7.1)	Game configuration parameters 3

The game configuration parameter 1 is used for determining a display parameter of an interface of a game application in a main screen display state, wherein the display parameter can determine a visual field range in an X direction and a visual field range in a Y direction in the main screen display state.

The game configuration parameters 2 are used to determine display parameters of the interface of the game application in the secondary screen display state, wherein the display parameters may determine the viewing range in the X direction and the viewing range in the Y direction in the secondary screen display state.

The game configuration parameters 3 are used to determine display parameters of the interface of the game application in the large-screen display state, wherein the display parameters may determine the viewing range in the X direction and the viewing range in the Y direction in the large-screen display state.

The visual field range in the X direction in the main screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 1 is larger than the visual field range in the X direction in the large screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 3.

The visual field range in the Y direction in the main screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 1 is smaller than the visual field range in the Y direction in the large screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 3.

It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the visual field range is a relative width, and is used to measure the content or information contained in the X direction or the Y direction, and particularly in the game scene, the visual field range may be used to measure how much of the scenery is in the corresponding scene. The visual field range in the Y direction in the main screen display state is smaller than the visual field range in the Y direction in the large screen display state, which can also be understood as that the number of scenes displayed in the Y direction in the main screen display state is smaller than the number of scenes displayed in the Y direction in the large screen display state; the viewing range in the X direction in the main screen display state being larger than the viewing range in the X direction in the large screen display state may also be understood as the number of scenes displayed in the X direction in the main screen display state being larger than the number of scenes displayed in the X direction in the large screen display state.

It should also be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the screen ratios in the sub-screen display state and the main screen display state may be the same (for example, both are 19.5:9), so the viewing ranges in the X direction and the Y direction may be the same, and the viewing areas in the sub-screen display state and the main screen display state may be the same; the screen proportion can be different between the secondary screen display state and the main screen display state, so that the visual field ranges in the X direction and the Y direction can be different, and the visual field areas of the games with visual field fairness constraint in the secondary screen display state and the main screen display state are basically kept unchanged.

It should also be understood that, in addition to determining the display parameters of the interface displaying the game application in the corresponding screen display state, the game configuration parameters in the embodiment of the present application may also determine the display parameters of the layout of the interface of the game application, the positions and the intervals of the controls, and the like.
