Description

Application display method and terminal equipment

Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of electronics, in particular to an application display method and terminal equipment.

Background

Folding screen devices have the advantage of large display screens and are used by an increasing number of people. The folding screen device may display user interfaces of two applications side by side in its display screen in a left-right direction, for example: the user interface of one application is displayed on the left side of the display screen of the folding screen device and the user interface of the other application is displayed on the right side of the display screen, which is called split screen display.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a split-screen display of two applications by using a folding screen device at present. Illustratively, the user interface 10 of application A is located on the left side of the display and the user interface 11 of application B is located on the right side of the display, where application A is a video-type application. When the width and height of the video resources played by the application a are larger, in the split screen manner shown in fig. 1, the video playing window of the application a can only occupy a smaller display area of the display screen, so that the experience of watching the video by the user is poor. It can be seen that, at present, the manner of split-screen displaying two applications along the left-right direction can reduce the use experience of some applications.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application display method and terminal equipment are used for solving the problem that application experience is poor when split screen display is used.

In a first aspect, an application display method is provided, including: responding to the split screen operation, and determining two target applications to be split screen displayed; acquiring application information of each of two target applications, wherein the application information comprises an application package name; determining target split-screen modes corresponding to two target applications according to the application information, wherein the target split-screen modes comprise split-screen directions of the two target applications; and carrying out split-screen display on the two target applications according to the target split-screen mode.

Therefore, the target split screen mode is determined according to the application information of the two target applications, and the two applications are split screen displayed according to the target split screen mode, so that the split screen directions of the two target applications are more beneficial to content display of the target applications, and the use experience of the two target applications can be improved.

In one implementation, the step of determining, according to the application information, the target split screen modes corresponding to the two target applications includes: determining target split screen modes corresponding to two target applications according to the application information, a preset white list and a preset black list; the white list comprises preset application information of the applications which are split according to the first split direction, and the black list comprises preset application information of the applications which are not split according to the first split direction. Therefore, through setting the white list and the black list, the target split screen modes corresponding to the two target applications can be determined simply and conveniently.

In one implementation, the step of determining the target split screen mode corresponding to the two target applications according to the application information, the preset white list and the preset black list includes: if the application information of the two target applications are in the white list, determining that the target split-screen mode is that the two target applications split-screen according to the first split-screen direction; if the application information of the two target applications are in the blacklist, determining that the target split-screen mode is that the two target applications split-screen according to the second split-screen direction; if the application information of the two target applications is neither in the white list nor the black list, determining that the target split-screen mode is that the two target applications split-screens according to the second split-screen direction. Therefore, the target split screen mode corresponding to the two target applications can be determined simply and conveniently by combining the application information of the two targets in the white list and the black list.

In one implementation, the step of determining the target split screen modes corresponding to the two target applications according to the application information, the preset white list and the preset black list further includes: if the application information of one target application in the two target applications is in the white list and the application information of the other target application is in the black list, displaying a prompt window, wherein the prompt window comprises a first control corresponding to a first split screen direction and a second control corresponding to a second split screen direction; responding to the operation of the first control, and displaying two target applications in a split mode according to a first split direction; or, responding to the operation of the second control, and displaying the two target applications in a split screen mode according to the second split screen direction.

Therefore, when the application information of the two target applications respectively appear in different lists, the terminal equipment cannot directly determine the target split screen mode, and in order to improve the use experience of a user, the terminal equipment displays a prompt window so that the user can determine the target split screen mode according to own preference.

In one implementation, the step of determining, according to the application information, the target split screen modes corresponding to the two target applications includes: according to the application information, obtaining split screen scores of two target applications from a preset database; and determining the target split screen mode according to the split screen scores of the two target applications. Therefore, the split screen scores of the two target applications are combined, the target split screen mode can be accurately determined, and the use experience of the target applications is improved.

In one implementation, the step of determining the target split mode according to the split scores of the two target applications includes: adding the split screen scores of the two target applications to obtain an added value; if the sum value is larger than a first threshold value, determining that the target split-screen mode is that two target applications split screens according to a first split-screen direction; and if the sum value is smaller than the first threshold value, determining that the target split-screen mode is that the two target applications split screens according to the second split-screen direction. Thus, the sum value can reflect the comprehensive situation of the split screen scores of the two target applications. The terminal equipment can accurately determine the target split screen mode through the addition value, and the use experience of the target application is improved.

In one implementation, the step of determining the target split mode further comprises: if the sum value is equal to the first threshold value, displaying a prompt window, wherein the prompt window comprises a first control corresponding to the first split screen direction and a second control corresponding to the second split screen direction; responding to the operation of the first control, and displaying two target applications in a split mode according to a first split direction; or, responding to the operation of the second control, and displaying the two target applications in a split screen mode according to the second split screen direction. Therefore, when the terminal equipment cannot directly determine the target split screen mode, the terminal equipment displays a prompt window for prompting the user to determine the target split screen modes of the two target applications according to the preference of the user.

In one implementation, the step of determining the target split mode according to the split scores of the two target applications includes: calculating the average value of the split screen scores of two target applications; if the average value is larger than a second threshold value, determining that the target split-screen mode is that two target applications split-screens according to the first split-screen direction; and if the average value is smaller than the second threshold value, determining that the target split-screen mode is that the two target applications split screens according to the second split-screen direction. Thus, the comprehensive situation of the split scores of the two target applications can be reflected by calculating the average value of the split scores of the two target applications. The terminal equipment can accurately determine the target split screen mode through the average value, and the use experience of the application is improved.

In one implementation, the step of determining the target split mode further comprises: if the average value is equal to the second threshold value, displaying a prompt window, wherein the prompt window comprises a first control corresponding to the first split screen direction and a second control corresponding to the second split screen direction; responding to the operation of the first control, and displaying two target applications in a split mode according to a first split direction; or, responding to the operation of the second control, and displaying the two target applications in a split screen mode according to the second split screen direction. Therefore, when the terminal equipment cannot directly determine the target split screen mode, in order to improve the use feeling of the user, the terminal equipment displays the prompt window so that the user can determine the target split screen modes of two target applications according to own preference, and the use feeling of the user is improved.

In one implementation, the method further comprises: in response to an operation on the first control or the second control, the split scores of the two target applications are modified. Thus, in order to record the preference of the user for the split screen directions when the two target applications are split screen displayed, which is determined by the first control or the second control, the split screen scores of the two target applications can be modified. The target application can be displayed on the split screen subsequently, the modified split screen score can be utilized to determine the target split screen mode, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In one implementation, if the split score of the target application is greater than a third threshold, the preset split direction of the target application is the first split direction; if the split screen score of the target application is smaller than or equal to a third threshold value, the preset split screen direction of the target application is the second split screen direction. Therefore, the preset split screen direction of the target application can be accurately distinguished by setting the relation between the third threshold value and the split screen score.

In one implementation, the step of modifying the split scores of the two target applications in response to operation of the first control or the second control includes: responding to the operation of the first control, and increasing the split screen values of the two target applications by a first preset value; and responding to the operation of the second control, and reducing the split screen values of the two target applications by a second preset value. Thus, in order to record the preference of the user for the split screen directions when the two target applications are split screen displayed, which is determined by the first control or the second control, the split screen scores of the two target applications can be modified. The target application can be displayed on the split screen subsequently, the modified split screen score can be utilized to determine the target split screen mode, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In one implementation, the step of determining, according to the application information, the target split screen modes corresponding to the two target applications includes: according to the application information, acquiring split screen identifiers of two target applications from a preset database; determining a first number of split screen identifiers corresponding to a first split screen direction and a second number of split screen identifiers corresponding to a second split screen direction; if the first quantity is larger than the second quantity, determining that the target split-screen mode is that two target applications split screens according to a first split-screen direction; and if the first quantity is smaller than the second quantity, determining that the target split-screen mode is that the two target applications split screens according to the second split-screen direction. In this way, by comparing the first number and the second number of determined target split-screen modes, it can be ensured that the split-screen direction in the target split-screen mode matches with most target applications. By adopting the target split screen mode, the use experience of the target application can be improved.

In one implementation, after the split-screen display of the two target applications according to the target split-screen mode, the method further includes: in response to at least one gesture operation performed by a user on a user interface of a first application, displaying a lock button, the first application being any one of two target applications; and responding to the operation of the locking button, and adopting a target split screen mode when the follow-up split screen display of the first application is determined. Therefore, the user can operate the locking button, so that the terminal equipment still adopts the target split-screen mode when the terminal equipment performs split-screen display on the first application in the follow-up process, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In one implementation, after the split-screen display of the two target applications according to the target split-screen mode, the method further includes: in response to at least one gesture operation performed by a user on a user interface of a first application, displaying a lock button, the first application being any one of two target applications; responding to the operation of the locking button, and if the target split screen mode is that two target applications split screens according to the first split screen direction, adding the application information of the first application into a white list; and responding to the operation of the locking button, and if the target split screen mode is that two target applications split screens according to the second split screen direction, adding the application information of the first application into a blacklist. In this way, the user can make the terminal device add the application information of the first application into the white list through operating the locking button, so that the target application can be displayed on the split screen by using the modified white list, and the target split screen mode can be determined.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

The terminology used in the following embodiments of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of embodiments of the application. As used in the specification of the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," "the," "said," "the" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary. It should also be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. may be used in the following embodiments to describe certain types of objects, the objects should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish between specific objects of that class of objects. For example, the terms first, second, etc. may be used in the following embodiments to describe a window, but the window should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish between different windows displayed by the display. Other classes of objects that may be described in the following embodiments using the terms first, second, etc. are not described here again. Furthermore, the term "and/or" is used to describe an association relationship of association objects, meaning that three relationships may exist; for example, a and/or B may represent: a alone, a and B together, and B alone, wherein A, B may be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the context-dependent object is an "or" relationship.

The directions of "up", "down", "left" and "right" referred to in the embodiments of the present application are based on the directions of "up", "down", "left" and "right" perceived by the user when the user faces the display screen of the terminal device.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a split-screen display of two applications by using another folding screen device according to an embodiment of the present application. For example, when the folding screen device performs split-screen display on the application a and the application B, the user interface 13 of the application a may be displayed on the upper portion of the display screen, and the user interface 14 of the application B may be displayed on the lower portion of the display screen. However, if an application, for example, application B, does not support the manner of displaying two applications in a split screen manner, the application B may display only a part of pages after splitting the screen, so that the user cannot normally use the application B, and the use experience of the application is reduced.

It can be seen that, for a folding screen device, whether the application is split-screen displayed in the left-right direction or split-screen displayed in the up-down direction, the use experience of some applications is reduced.

In the following more drawings, taking a display screen as a touch screen as an example, an exemplary description is given of a target application process of determining to be displayed by a split screen by a terminal device in response to a split screen operation.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a user interface of a full-screen display application of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a display split screen button of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, in the case where the user interface 15 of the first application is displayed full screen, the terminal device may display a split screen button 171 in the display screen in response to the first gesture operation 16 of the user. Wherein the first gesture operation 16 may be a user clicking any position on the display screen. The split button 161 may be located at an upper layer of the user interface 15 of the first application and may be displayed at any location on the display screen, preferably at an edge of the display screen, to reduce occlusion of the user interface 15.

In one implementation, upon detecting a user clicking any location on the display, the terminal device may display a list of functions 17 at the edge of the display, and one or more function buttons supported by the terminal device may be included in the list of functions 17, such as a split screen button 171.

In the embodiment of the application, the target application number can be preset by the terminal equipment, and can also be flexibly set by a user according to actual requirements so as to meet different requirements of the user on the terminal equipment.

Fig. 7 is a first schematic diagram of determining a target application by a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application.

Fig. 8 is a second schematic diagram of determining a target application by a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 6 to 8, when the target number of applications is preset by the terminal device, the terminal device may display the user interface 10 of the first application on one side of the display screen and display the application list 19 on the other side of the display screen in response to the second gesture operation 18 performed by the user on the split screen button 171. The second gesture operation 18 may be that the user may click the split screen button 171. The application list 19 comprises at least one selection button 191-197 of a second application.

For example, the terminal device may display the user interface 10 of the application a on the left side of the display screen and the application list 19 on the right side of the display screen upon detecting that the user clicks the split button 171. Wherein the application list 19 includes seven selection buttons 191-197 of the second application, for example: application B, application C …, and application H.

In the embodiment of the application, the second application may determine all applications supporting split screen for the terminal device from the installed applications. The application supporting the split screen is used as the second application, and an application list 19 is generated, wherein the application list 19 comprises all selection buttons of the application supporting the split screen. Such as: the selection buttons included in the application list 19 may be configured in advance by the user. Such as: the application may also initiate registration with the terminal device, adding itself to the application list.

Next, the terminal device may determine a target application to be split-screen displayed in response to the third gesture operation 20 performed by the user in the application list 19. The third gesture operation 20 may be a user clicking on a selection button of one or more second applications. The terminal device may select a selection button of a certain second application after detecting that the user clicks the selection button, and record the second application. And if the number of the selection buttons selected by the user is equal to the number of the preset target applications minus 1, determining the second applications and the first applications corresponding to the selection buttons selected by the user as target applications.

In one example, when the number of the pre-target applications is two, referring specifically to fig. 7, the terminal device determines that the first application and the application B are target applications to be split-screen displayed when detecting that the user selects a selection button of one of the second applications in the application list 19, for example, selects a selection button 191 of the application B.

In another example, when the preset number is three, referring specifically to fig. 8, the terminal device determines that the first application, the application B, and the application D are target applications to be split-screen displayed when detecting that the user selects two of the selection buttons of the second applications in the application list 19, for example, selects the selection button 191 of the application B and the selection button 193 of the application D.

Fig. 9 is a third schematic diagram of determining a target application by a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application.

Fig. 10 is a fourth schematic diagram of determining a target application by a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 9 and 10, when the target number of applications is flexibly set by the user according to actual needs, at least one selection button 211 to 217 of the second application and a confirmation button 218 may be further included in the application list 21. The terminal device may determine the target application to be split-screen displayed in response to a fourth gesture operation 22 performed by the user in the application list 21. The fourth gesture operation 22 may be a user clicking on a selection button of one or more second applications. The terminal device may select a selection button of a certain second application after detecting that the user clicks the selection button, and record the second application.

Next, the terminal device may determine, in response to the fifth gesture operation 23 performed by the user in the application list, that the second application and the first application corresponding to the selection button selected by the user are target applications. Wherein the fifth gesture operation 23 may be clicking the ok button 218.

In one example, referring specifically to fig. 9, if the terminal device detects that the user selects a selection button of a second application in the application list 21, for example, selects the selection button 211 of the application B, and clicks the determination button 218, it may determine that the application first application and the application B are target applications. In this case, the number of target applications is two.

In another example, referring specifically to fig. 10, if the terminal device detects that the user selects two selection buttons of the second application in the application list 21, for example, sequentially selects the selection button 211 of the application B, the selection button 213 of the application D, and clicks the determination button 218, it determines that the first application, the application B, and the application D are target applications to be split-screen displayed.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may also determine the target application based on the user's voice input. By way of example, the user's voice input may be, for example, "application a and application B split screen displays," etc., which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Of course, the present application is not limited to the above-provided method of determining the target application to be displayed by split screen, and any method capable of determining the target application to be displayed by split screen may be acceptable.

And S2, acquiring application information of each target application in at least two target applications.

In some embodiments, the application information may be information for identifying an application identity. In one example, the application information includes application package names, each application having a unique one of the application package names.

For example, take an application running in a terminal device of the Android system as an example:

The package name to which the "glory video" is applied may be com.

The package name of the application "glory mall" may be com.

And step S3, determining target split screen modes corresponding to at least two target applications according to the application information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target split-screen mode may include at least two split-screen directions of the target application. For example: the split screen direction of the at least two target applications may be a first split screen direction, or the split screen direction of the at least two applications may be a second split screen direction, the first split screen direction being a different direction from the second split screen direction. Accordingly, the target split mode may split the screen for at least two target applications according to the first split direction, or may split the screen for at least two target applications according to the second split direction.

In one implementation, the first split direction may be, for example, an up-down direction of the display screen, and the second split direction may be, for example, a left-right direction of the display screen. Accordingly, the target split mode may be that at least two target applications split from top to bottom on the display screen (as shown in fig. 2), or the target application mode may be that at least two target applications split from left to right on the display screen (as shown in fig. 1).

In this embodiment of the present application, the split screen direction is not limited to the left-right direction and the up-down direction of the above disclosed indication display screen, but may be other split screen directions that do not affect the use of the application by the user.

In some embodiments, step S3 may be specifically implemented by the following steps:

determining target split screen modes corresponding to at least two target applications according to the application information, a preset white list and a preset black list, wherein the white list comprises preset application information of applications which are split screen according to a first split screen direction, and the black list comprises preset application information of applications which are not split screen according to the first split screen direction.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal device may define a white list and a black list. The white list and the black list may be preset when the terminal device leaves the factory, may be obtained from a manufacturer end by the terminal device, or may be created by a user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In the embodiment of the application, the application corresponding to the application information in the preset white list is better in use experience according to the split-screen display of the first split-screen direction. And the application information in the preset blacklist corresponds to the application which is displayed according to the first split screen direction, so that the application is poor in use experience or can not be used. It can be appreciated that, due to factors such as compatibility of applications, application types, and the like, some applications have poor use experience when displayed in a split screen along a certain split screen direction.

For example, referring again to fig. 1, when application a and application B are split-screen displayed from left to right on the display screen, since the width of the user interface of application a is only half the width of the display screen, if application a is used to play video, video frame 12 can occupy a smaller area on the display screen. It follows that the use experience of the split-screen display from left to right on the display screen is poor for application a.

Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of a display interface of another terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application. For example, as shown in fig. 11, when the application a and the application B perform split-screen display from top to bottom on the display screen, since the width of the user interface 13 of the application a covers the entire width of the display screen, if the video is played using the application a, the video screen can be maximally displayed in the user interface 13 of the application a. It can be seen that the application a has a better use experience for split screen display from top to bottom on the display screen.

Fig. 12 is a flowchart of yet another application display method according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 12, in some embodiments, the step of determining the target split screen modes corresponding to at least two target applications according to the application information, the preset whitelist and the preset blacklist includes:

S3101, the terminal device detects whether the application information is in a preset white list and a preset black list.

S3102, if the application information of each target application in at least two target applications is in the preset white list, it is indicated that the target application performs screen division according to the first screen division direction, which is more beneficial to the display effect of the target application, the target screen division mode is determined to be that the two target applications perform screen division according to the first screen division direction.

S3103, if the application information of each target application in at least two target applications is in a preset blacklist, which indicates that the target application does not split according to the first split direction, the display effect of the target application can be more facilitated, and the target split mode is determined to split according to the second split direction for the two target applications.

If the application information of each of the at least two target applications is not in the preset white list and is not in the preset black list, determining that the target split screen mode is that the two target applications split screens according to the second split screen direction. In this embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may define that applications corresponding to application information that are not in the white list and the black list are split according to the second split direction, and default applications corresponding to application information that are not in the preset white list and the preset black list are split according to the second split direction.

S3104, if the application information of one target application of the at least two target applications is in a preset white list and the application information of one target application of the at least two target applications is in a preset black list, it is indicated that the screen division display effect of the at least one target application according to the first screen division direction is better, the screen division display effect of the at least one target application is not according to the first screen division direction, and at this time, the screen division direction of the display target application can be determined by the terminal device according to the selection of the user. The terminal device can display a prompt window, the prompt window comprises a first control corresponding to the first split screen direction and a second control corresponding to the second split screen direction, and a user operates on the prompt window to enable the terminal device to determine the split screen direction of the display target application.

Responding to the operation of the first control, and carrying out split-screen display on at least two target applications according to a first split-screen direction; or, responding to the operation of the second control, and displaying at least two target applications in a split screen mode according to the second split screen direction.

Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of a user interface provided with a prompt window according to an embodiment of the present application.

Fig. 14 is a schematic diagram of another user interface provided with a prompt window according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 13 and 14, in some embodiments, the prompt window 24 includes a first control 241 and a second control 242.

Referring to fig. 13, the terminal device may respond to the operation 25 of the first control 241 by the user to split-screen display the application a and the application B according to the first split-screen direction (as shown in fig. 11). Operation 25 on the first control 241 may click on the first control 241 for the user.

Referring to fig. 14, in response to the user operating the second control 242, the terminal device may split-screen display the application a and the application B (as shown in fig. 1) according to the second split-screen direction, and the user may click on the second control 242 on the operation 26 of the second control 242.

Fig. 15 is a flowchart of yet another application display method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 15, in some embodiments, step S3 may be specifically implemented by:

s31, according to the application information, the split screen score of each target application is obtained from a preset database.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal device can record and maintain a database for split screen, and application information and split screen scores of one or more applications are stored in the database. The split score is used to indicate the split direction that matches the application.

The database may be preset when the terminal device leaves the factory, may be acquired from the cloud by the terminal device, or may be created by a user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In addition, the application information of the applications and the specific split screen score of each application contained in the database may be determined by the terminal device itself, or may be determined by the terminal device according to the usage habit of the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

S32, determining a target split screen mode according to the split screen scores of at least two target applications.

In the embodiment of the application, the target split mode is determined by comprehensively considering the split score of each target application, so that the use experience of the application can be improved to the greatest extent.

Fig. 16 is a flowchart of another application display method according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 16, in some embodiments, S32 may be specifically implemented by:

s3201, adding the split screen scores of at least two target applications to obtain an addition value.

For example, two target applications include application A and application B, with application A having a split score of 10 and application B having a split score of-2, where the sum is 8.

S3202, the sum is compared with the first threshold. In some embodiments, the terminal device may define the first threshold.

S3203, if the sum value is larger than a first threshold value, determining that the target split-screen mode is that at least two target applications split screens according to a first split-screen direction.

S3204, if the sum value is smaller than the first threshold value, determining that the target split-screen mode is that at least two target applications split screens according to the second split-screen direction.

S3205, if the sum value is equal to a first threshold value, displaying a prompt window, wherein the prompt window comprises a first control corresponding to a first split screen direction and a second control corresponding to a second split screen direction;

In one example, when the first threshold is 0 and the number of target applications is two, the split scores of the two target applications are added to obtain the added value. The sum is compared to a size of 0. If the sum is greater than 0, determining that the target split-screen mode is that two target applications split-screen according to the first split-screen direction; if the sum is smaller than 0, determining that the target split-screen mode is that two target applications split-screen according to the second split-screen direction; if the sum is equal to 0, a prompt window is displayed on the display screen. When the number of the target applications is two, the split screen scores of the two target applications can be directly added, and compared with the first threshold value 0, the target split screen mode can be simply and quickly determined.

In some embodiments, the terminal device modifies the split scores of at least two target applications in response to operation of the first control or the second control. And the user determines the split screen directions of at least two target application split screen displays through the operation of the first control and the second control. In order to record the user's preference for the split direction when the at least two target applications are split displayed, the terminal device may modify the split scores of the at least two target applications.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may define a third threshold. If the preset split screen direction of the target application is the first split screen direction, the split screen score of the target application is larger than a third threshold value, and the larger the split screen score of the target application is, the higher the matching degree of the target application and the first split screen direction is. If the preset split screen direction of the target application is the second split screen direction, the split screen score of the target application is smaller than a third threshold value, and the smaller the split screen score of the target application is, the higher the matching degree of the target application and the second split screen direction is.

Illustratively, the third threshold may be 0. Then, if the split score of the application a is 10, it means that the split direction matched with the application a is the first split direction; if the split screen score of the application B is-10, the split screen direction matched with the application B is indicated to be a second split screen direction; if the split score for application C is 0, this indicates that there is no split direction matching application C. In addition, if the split score of application D is 8, the degree of matching of application a with the first split direction is higher when application a and application B are compared.

In some embodiments, if the split score of the target application is greater than a third threshold, the preset split direction of the target application is the first split direction; and if the split screen score of the target application is smaller than or equal to a third threshold value, the preset split screen direction of the target application is the second split screen direction.

The step of the terminal equipment responding to the operation of the user on the first control or the second control to modify the split screen scores of at least two target applications comprises the following steps:

and the terminal equipment responds to the operation of the first control, and increases the split screen values of at least two target applications by a first preset value. It will be appreciated that, in order to make the target application more matched with the first split direction, the split score of the target application may be increased by a first preset value, where the first preset value is greater than 0.

And the terminal equipment responds to the operation of the second control to reduce the split screen values of at least two target applications by a second preset value. It will be appreciated that, in order to make the target application more closely match the second split direction, the split score of the target application may be reduced by a second preset value, where the second preset value is greater than 0.

Fig. 17 is a flowchart of yet another application display method according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 17, in some embodiments, S32 may be specifically implemented by:

s3206, calculating an average value of the split screen scores of the target application.

The target applications include, for example, application a, application B, and application C, with a split score of 10 for application a, a split score of-10 for application B, and a split score of 3 for application C, where the average is 1.

And if the corresponding split score of the application is not stored in the database, setting the split score of the application as a second threshold. In some embodiments, the terminal device may define the second threshold.

S3207, comparing the average value with a second threshold.

S3208, if the average value is larger than the second threshold value, determining that the target split-screen mode is that two target applications split screens according to the first split-screen direction.

S3209, if the average value is smaller than the second threshold value, determining that the target split-screen mode is that two target applications split screens according to the second split-screen direction.

According to the method and the device for determining the split screen mode, the split screen scores of at least two target applications are integrated, and the target split screen mode is determined, so that the split screen direction corresponding to the target split screen mode can be matched with most target applications, the display effect of most target applications on a display screen can be improved, and the use experience of the applications can be improved.

S32010, if the average value is equal to a second threshold value, displaying a prompt window on the display screen, wherein the prompt window comprises a first control corresponding to a first split screen direction and a second control corresponding to a second split screen direction;

responding to the operation of the first control, and displaying two target applications in a split mode according to a first split direction; or, in response to the operation of the second control, displaying two target applications in a split-screen manner according to the second split-screen direction

In the embodiment of the application, when the target split mode more suitable for at least two target applications cannot be determined through the split score of the target applications, a prompt window is displayed on the display screen, so that a user determines the split directions of at least two target applications which want to be split for display, and the use experience of the user is improved. The display content in the prompt window and the operations that the user can implement on the prompt window have been described in detail above, and will not be described in detail here.

Fig. 18 is a flowchart of yet another application display method according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 18, in some embodiments, step S3 may be specifically implemented by:

s33, according to the application information, acquiring the split screen identification of each target application from a preset database.

In this embodiment of the present application, the split screen identifier may be a number, a letter, or a combination of a number and a letter. The method includes the steps that a split screen mode corresponding to a split screen identifier A is used for splitting a screen of a target application according to a first split screen direction; and the split screen mode corresponding to the split screen identification B is used for splitting the screen for the target application according to the second split screen direction.

S34, determining a first number of split screen identifiers corresponding to the first split screen direction and a second number of split screen identifiers corresponding to the second split screen direction.

And S35, comparing the sizes of the first quantity and the second quantity.

And S36, if the first quantity is larger than the second quantity, determining that the target split-screen mode is that two target applications split screens according to the first split-screen direction.

And S37, if the first quantity is smaller than the second quantity, determining that the target split-screen mode is that two target applications split screens according to the second split-screen direction.

S38, if the first quantity is equal to the second quantity, displaying a prompt window on the display screen, wherein the prompt window comprises a first control corresponding to the first split screen direction and a second control corresponding to the second split screen direction;

responding to the operation of the first control, and displaying two target applications in a split mode according to a first split direction; or, responding to the operation of the second control, and displaying the two target applications in a split screen mode according to the second split screen direction.

In the embodiment of the application, the target split screen mode suitable for the target application is determined according to the number of the split screen identifiers corresponding to at least two target applications, and the determined target split screen mode is ensured to be matched with most target applications, so that the use experience of the applications is improved.

It should be noted that, no corresponding split screen identifier exists in any application in the database, so in the embodiment of the application, the number of split screen identifiers corresponding to the first split screen direction and the second split screen direction is compared, and the determination of the target split screen mode is simpler and more convenient.

And S4, carrying out split-screen display on at least two target applications according to the target split-screen mode.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine position information of the window according to the target split screen mode, where the position information is used to indicate a contour of the window; then, drawing a window according to the position information; and finally, displaying the target application user interface determined according to the target split screen mode in the corresponding window.

The location information includes coordinates of an upper left corner and a lower right corner of the window, and thus the terminal device may draw the corresponding window according to the coordinates of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the window.

Fig. 19 is a schematic diagram of a split-screen display according to a first split-screen direction according to an embodiment of the present application.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 19, the position information of the window 101 includes an upper left corner a point coordinate and a lower right corner B point coordinate, and the position information of the window 102 includes an upper left corner C point coordinate and a lower right corner D point coordinate.

Fig. 20 is a schematic diagram of a split-screen display according to a second split-screen direction according to an embodiment of the present application.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 20, the position information of window 201 includes an upper left corner A point coordinate and a lower right corner E point coordinate, and the position information of window 202 includes an upper left corner F point coordinate and a lower right corner D point coordinate.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may also draw a split screen line according to the location information. The split screen lines are used to display the boundaries of different windows.

For example, as shown in fig. 19, the terminal device may draw the split screen 103 according to the B point coordinate corresponding to the window 101 and the C point coordinate corresponding to the window 102.

For example, as shown in fig. 20, the terminal device may draw the split screen 203 according to the F point coordinate corresponding to the window 201 and the D point coordinate corresponding to the window 202.

Next, the terminal device may display the target application in the drawn window. Illustratively, when there are two target applications, the number of windows is also two, and one target application is displayed in one window.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may arrange the plurality of applications in the plurality of split screen windows from top to bottom or from left to right according to an order in which the plurality of target applications are selected by the user. For example, if the application a is an application that is displayed full screen by the terminal device, and the user clicks the application B and the application C in order as the target application in the application list, when the terminal device performs the split-screen display on the application a, the application B, and the application C, the application a, the application B, and the application C may be displayed in order in windows distributed from top to bottom, or in order in windows distributed from left to right.

Fig. 21 is a schematic diagram of a display interface of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8 and 21, if the application a is an application that is displayed full screen by the terminal device, the user clicks the application B and the application C in order in the application list as target applications, and the target split mode is that the two target applications are split according to the second split direction, the terminal device may display the user interface 27 of the application a, the user interface 28 of the application B, and the user interface 29 of the application C in order from left to right.

In some embodiments, the display order of the target application from top to bottom or left to right may be determined in a preset order. The preset order may be stored in a preset order list, for example. The preset order list may include a first order list and a second order list. The first order list is used for indicating the display order of the target applications when the target split screen mode is that the two target applications split screens according to the first split screen direction. The second order list is used for indicating the display order of the target applications when the target split screen mode is that the two target applications split screens according to the first split screen direction.

In the embodiment of the application, since a part of the application may need to interact with a user, a user interface of the part of the application may be displayed in a region of the display screen, such as the left and right sides of the display screen, which is convenient for the finger movement of a human body. Taking application a, application B and application C as examples, if the frequency of interaction with the user by application a, application B to application C gradually decreases, the order of the three applications may be application a, application B and application C in the second order listing. When the terminal device performs split-screen display on the application a, the application B and the application C, the application a may be displayed in a window on the leftmost side of the display screen, the application B may be displayed in a window on the rightmost side of the display screen, and the application C may be displayed in a window between the application a and the application B.

In some embodiments, the first order rank list may be set by application category. For example, if the user is accustomed to watching the video class application on the upper portion of the display screen and is accustomed to using the chat class application on the lower portion of the display screen, the terminal device may sort the applications in the second order listing according to the video class application and the chat class application.

The above only discloses a way to determine the display order of the target application based in part on the order listing, and any other method that is not contrary to the method of the present application is acceptable.

In some embodiments, the terminal device may modify the preset whitelist and the preset blacklist in response to at least one gesture operation performed by the user on the user interface of the first application to record the split screen mode preference of the user for the target application.

Fig. 22 is a schematic diagram of a modification of a white list and a black list according to an embodiment of the present application. In the following, in connection with fig. 22, a procedure of modifying a preset whitelist and a preset blacklist by the terminal device in response to at least one gesture operation performed by the user on the user interface of the first application is exemplarily described.

As shown in fig. 11 and 22 (a), in the case where the terminal device displays the target application in a split screen, in response to the sixth gesture operation 32 performed by the user in the user interface 13 of the first application, a return button 131 is displayed on the user interface 13 where the sixth gesture operation 32 is to be performed. The sixth gesture operation 32 may be any location of the user interface of the click target application.

The terminal device displays a back button 131 on the user interface 13 upon detecting that the user clicks on the user interface 13 of the first application. It will be appreciated that the terminal device, upon detecting a user clicking on the user interface 33 of the second application, displays a back button 131 on the user interface 33.

As shown in fig. 22 (b), the terminal device may display a set button 351 in the display screen in response to the seventh gesture operation 34 of the user. The seventh gesture operation 34 may be the user clicking the back button 131. The terminal device displays a setup button 351 on the user interface 35 upon detecting that the user clicks the back button 131.

As shown in fig. 22 (c), the terminal device displays a lock button 301 in the display screen in response to the eighth gesture operation 36 of the user. The eighth gesture operation 36 may click the set button 351 for the user. In one implementation, upon detecting that the user clicks the setup button 351, the terminal device displays the user interface 30 including the lock button 301.

In response to the operation of the lock button 301, if the target split mode is that at least two target applications are split according to the first split direction, the application information of the first application is added to a preset whitelist. The operation 31 of the lock button 301 may be clicking the lock button 301.

And if the target split screen mode is that at least two target applications split screens according to the second split screen direction, adding the application information of the first application into a preset blacklist.

In this way, the terminal device records the preference of the user for the split screen direction of the first application in split screen display according to the use of the locking button by the user. When the terminal device displays the first application in the next split screen, the information that the first application is on the white list or the black list can be referred to, and the target split screen mode can be determined.

In other embodiments, the target split mode is employed directly when the first application is subsequently split displayed in response to operation 31 of the lock button 301. In one example, the current target split mode splits the screen for at least two target applications according to a first split direction. And when the first application is displayed in a split screen mode, the target application is split screen according to the first split screen direction.

In other embodiments, when the target application is displayed according to a certain target split-screen mode, the terminal device has a good display effect, and in response to the operation 31 of the lock button 301, modifies the split-screen score corresponding to the target application to be the target split-screen score, where the split-screen direction corresponding to the target split-screen score is the same as the split-screen direction corresponding to the target split-screen mode.

In one example, the target application for which the terminal device modifies the split data into the target split score may be one of all the target applications. In response to at least one gesture operation performed by the user on the user interface of the first application, a lock button is displayed, the first application being any one of the at least two target applications. And modifying the split screen score corresponding to the first application into a target split screen score.

For example, as shown in fig. 11, the determination of modifying the target application of the split screen identifier may be that the terminal device responds to the sixth gesture operation 32 of the user, and records application information of the user interface 13 where the sixth gesture operation 32 is performed corresponding to the target application. When the terminal equipment detects that a user clicks the user interface 13 of the target application, the application information of the target application corresponding to the user interface 13 is recorded. Before the split score is modified, the application information is acquired, the split score of the target application corresponding to the application information is modified, and the split score is modified into the target split score.

For example, the target split score may be positive infinity or negative infinity. If the target split mode is that at least two target applications split according to the first split direction, the split score of the target application is modified to be positive infinity in response to the operation 31 of the lock button 301. If the target split mode is that two target applications split according to the second split direction, the split score of the target application is modified to minus infinity in response to the operation 31 of the lock button 301.

The memory 2502 is coupled to the processor 2503 for storing various software programs and/or sets of instructions, and the memory 2502 may include volatile memory and/or non-volatile memory.

The software routines and/or sets of instructions in memory 2502, when executed by processor 2503, cause the terminal device to perform the following method steps: responding to the split screen operation, and determining two target applications to be split screen displayed; acquiring application information of each of two target applications, wherein the application information comprises an application package name; determining target split-screen modes corresponding to two target applications according to the application information, wherein the target split-screen modes comprise split-screen directions of the two target applications; and carrying out split-screen display on the two target applications according to the target split-screen mode.
