After the arrangement order of the plurality of display colors is determined, the display area of each display color can be determined according to the arrangement order, specifically, the display area corresponding to the display color in the front of the arrangement order can be set to be larger than the display area corresponding to the display color in the back of the arrangement order, and optionally, after the priority levels of a plurality of targets of a plurality of types of messages are determined, the display area corresponding to the display color can be determined according to the priority levels of the plurality of targets, so that the importance degree of the messages with different display area can be prompted to a user.

Optionally, in the step 103, determining a display area corresponding to each of the plurality of display colors to obtain a plurality of display area areas, which may specifically include the following steps:

35. determining color information of each color in the plurality of display colors to obtain a plurality of color information;

36. determining a display area for each of the plurality of display colors according to the plurality of color information.

In the embodiment of the present application, in consideration of different effects of users' eyes on display colors with different color parameters, for example, for a display color with a brighter hue, a larger brightness, and a larger saturation, the user may recognize the display color more easily, and therefore, for a display color with a darker hue, a smaller lightness, or a smaller saturation, a larger area of the display area may be set, so that the user may recognize the display color more easily, and thus, the display effect of a plurality of display colors may be improved in the side screen area with a limited area.

104. And displaying the color of the side screen area in the plurality of display colors according to the arrangement sequence and the plurality of display area areas.

In the embodiment of the application, color display is performed in the side screen region, so that when a user views color display of the side screen region, the user is prompted that the electronic device receives a message, wherein the side screen region is subjected to color display by a plurality of display colors according to an arrangement sequence and a plurality of display region areas, a plurality of display colors can be displayed on the side screen region according to the arrangement sequence and each display region area corresponding to display, wherein the side screen region displays the plurality of display colors, surrounding display can be performed in the side screen region, the side screen region can be controlled to flash by the plurality of display colors arranged in sequence, and the color display mode can be other modes, which is not limited herein.

Optionally, in the step 104, performing color display on the side screen region in the plurality of display colors according to the arrangement order and the plurality of display region areas may specifically include the following steps:

42. displaying the plurality of display colors in the plurality of display regions.

The total area of the side screen region is fixed, and the display region area of each type of message or each message may be determined according to the number of multiple types of messages received by the electronic device, for example, when the electronic device receives 4 messages and four messages belong to 3 different applications, the total area of the side screen region may be divided into 3 display regions according to 3 message types, then, the electronic device may determine 3 display regions according to 3 applications and display in the side screen region according to the arrangement sequence of 3 display colors determined by the 3 applications, and optionally, if the 4 messages come from 4 different contacts, the total area of the side screen region may be divided into 4 display regions and displayed according to the 4 region display areas of the 4 display regions determined by the contacts and the arrangement sequence determined by the contacts.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the following steps may also be included:

determining second display brightness of the side screen area according to first display brightness of the front screen area, wherein the second display brightness is larger than the first display brightness;

the displaying the plurality of display colors in the plurality of display regions may include:

and displaying the display colors in the display areas according to the second display brightness.

When the electronic device is in a bright screen state, in order to enable a user to quickly distinguish color display of the side screen region from a display interface of the front screen region in the process of watching the curved display screen, the display brightness of the side screen region can be set to be second display brightness which is larger than first display brightness of the front screen region, wherein a first preset difference value between the first display brightness and the second display brightness can be preset, and then the second display brightness of the side screen region is determined according to the first preset difference value and the first display brightness.

Optionally, when the color display is performed in the side screen region, the electronic device may further adjust the first display brightness of the front screen region to a third display brightness smaller than a second preset difference of the display brightness, and determine that the display brightness of the display color of the side screen region is a fourth display brightness larger than the first preset difference of the third display brightness, so that discomfort caused by too high display brightness of the electronic device to eyes of a user may be prevented, and excessive power consumption may be avoided.

Alternatively, in order to enable a user to more rapidly distinguish the side screen region from the front screen region on the curved display screen, a first display color of an edge region within a preset range around the front screen region may be acquired, and then a second display color of the side screen region may be determined to be different from the first display color of the edge region, so that it may be prevented that the user has difficulty in distinguishing the color display of the side screen region from the display color of the edge region of the front screen region.

and judging whether the orientation of the curved surface display screen of the electronic equipment is downward, if not, executing the operation of determining a plurality of target messages with the color prompt function in the plurality of messages.

Alternatively, considering that when the curved display screen of the electronic device is facing downward, for example, when the display screen of the electronic device is placed on a desktop facing downward, it may be difficult for a user to clearly see the display effect of the color display in the side screen region, it may be determined whether the curved display screen of the electronic device is facing downward, if so, the process is terminated, and if not, the next operation is performed.

It can be seen that, in the message prompting method described in the embodiment of the present application, when receiving multiple types of messages, determining multiple types of target messages with a side screen display prompting function, determining a display color corresponding to each type of target message in the multiple types of target messages, obtaining multiple display colors, determining an arrangement order of the multiple display colors, determining a display region area corresponding to each display color in the multiple display colors, obtaining multiple display region areas, performing color display on the side screen region in the multiple display colors according to the arrangement order and the display region areas, so that color prompting can be performed on the multiple types of messages in the side screen region, and a user can know that the electronic device receives the multiple types of messages corresponding to the display colors after viewing the multiple display colors in the side screen region, thereby improving a color display effect of the side screen region, and enhancing the effect of message prompting.
