Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that the terminology used in the embodiments of the present invention is only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and is not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the majority forms unless the context clearly indicates other meanings. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

The flexible display device in this application refers to an electronic device with a flexible screen. This type of electronic device can be bent. Therefore, when a user uses a flexible display device, it can be bent into its desired form, so that the form of the flexible display device fits its current use requirements. On the other hand, when users do not need to use the device, they can also bend it to reduce the space occupied by them and improve their portability. Based on this flexible display device, the mirror image display method in the embodiments of the present application will be described below.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a flowchart of steps of a mirror display method in an embodiment of the present application. The mirror image display method is applied to a flexible display device, and the flexible display device includes a flexible display screen. The image display method includes the following steps:

In step S11, it is determined whether the flexible display device has entered the folded state from the unfolded state. If yes, go to step S12. If not, the process ends.

2 and FIG. 3 together, the flexible display device 100 includes a bending area 13 and a flexible display screen 10. The flexible display screen 10 is in a folded state with the bending of the bending area 13. The bending area 13 defines a folding line L (see FIG. 2). The bending area 13 can be bent around the folding line L, that is, the flexible display device 100 can be folded along the folding line L of the bending area 13 . Wherein, the folding line L may be a solid line of the bending area 13 or a virtual line, as long as the bending area 13 can be bent around the folding line L. The flexible display screen 10 is divided into a main screen area 11 and an auxiliary screen area 12 along the folding line L, that is, the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 of the flexible display screen 10 are located on two sides of the folding line L, respectively. side. After the auxiliary screen area 12 is completely folded along the folding line L of the bending area 13, the auxiliary screen area 12 is located on the back of the main screen area 11.

The unfolded state refers to a state when the flexible display device 100 is not bent, that is, the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 are located on the same plane. The "folded state" means that there is a certain angle between the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 of the flexible display device 100, and the included angle is less than 180 degrees, that is, the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 are located at different positions On the plane. When the included angle is 180 degrees, the auxiliary screen area 12 and the main screen area 11 are fully expanded, that is, the flexible display device 100 is in an expanded state; when the included angle is 0 degrees, the main screen area 11 completely covers the auxiliary screen area 12. Wherein, the included angle can be obtained by an angle sensor (not shown) provided on the bending area 13. It should be noted that, since the flexible display screen 10 is used to display the corresponding content for the user to watch, therefore, when in the folded state, the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 are in opposite states by default. Both the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 face different users.

In this embodiment, when the flexible display device 100 is in a folded state, the auxiliary screen area 12 cannot respond to the user's touch operation thereon, and only the main screen area 11 responds to the user's touch operation thereon. In other embodiments, when the flexible display device is in a folded state, the auxiliary screen area 12 can also respond to a user's touch operation thereon.

Step S12, processing the content currently displayed on the flexible display screen 10 to obtain the first display content and the second display content, and controlling to combine the first display content and the second display content to display on the On the flexible display screen 10.

The combination means that the first display content and the second display content can be seamlessly joined together, or there can be a certain gap to combine together, which is not limited herein. The content currently displayed is an application interface corresponding to an application currently running on the flexible display device 100. Specifically, the application interface includes but is not limited to an audio and video playback interface, a document editing interface, an image preview interface, and the like. In this embodiment, the currently running application program is an application program currently running in the foreground.

Understandably, the application programs include but are not limited to video playback applications (such as Tencent Video, Youku, iQiyi, etc.), camera applications, office software (such as document editing) applications, and picture preview applications.

In this embodiment, the display direction of the first display content is the same as the display direction of the current display content, and the display direction of the second display content is 180 degrees different from the display direction of the current display content. That is, both the first display content and the second display content are currently displayed content. Step S12 specifically includes reducing the currently displayed content to generate the first display content, copying the currently displayed content and rotating it by 180 ° to shrink to generate the second display content, and combining the first display content and the second display content to display together On the flexible display screen 10. The display direction refers to the direction in which the display content is presented relative to a certain reference position of the flexible display device 100. For example, when the flexible display device 100 is in an expanded state and the current display content is an upright person image, the bottom edge of the flexible display device 100 (eg, the side away from the camera) can be used as a reference position, that is, the feet of the person image are close to The bottom edge indicates the same display direction, and when the feet of the person image are far from the bottom edge, it indicates that the display direction of the display content is opposite.

The mirror image display method provided by the present application can make full use of the display characteristics of the flexible display device. When it is determined that the flexible display device 100 enters the folded state, the content currently displayed on the flexible display screen 10 is processed to obtain the first Display content and second display content, and control to combine the first display content and the second display content and redisplay them on the flexible display screen 10, so that multiple users can view the same from different directions Content of the display improves the user experience.

The main screen area 11 facing the first user will not move, and the gravity sensor located on the side of the main screen area 11 always facing the first user will not sense the change in gravity, and since the auxiliary screen area 12 is passed backward or in other directions After the bending motion, the gravity sensor located on the side of the auxiliary screen area 12 will sense the change of gravity. Therefore, after determining the folding position, the area of the folding position on the side of the gravity sensor that does not sense the change of gravity can be the main screen Area 11, the area on the other side is the auxiliary screen area 12.

Please refer to FIG. 2 again. In some embodiments, the processing of the content currently displayed on the flexible display screen 10 to obtain the first display content and the second display content further includes: according to where the bending area 13 is located Determines the size of the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12, and determines the size of the first display area 14 and the second display area 15 according to the size of the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 . The size of the first display area 14 and the second display area 15 refers to the area of the first display area 14 and the second display area 15, and the size of the screen also refers to the area of the screen.

In this embodiment, the size of the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 can be determined by the position of the bending area 13. Since the overall area of the flexible display screen 10 is determined, the bending The position of the area 13 is determined, and the size and shape of the main screen area 11 and the size and shape of the auxiliary screen area 12 divided by the bending area 13 can be determined.

In this embodiment, the size of the first display area 14 is proportional to the size of the main screen area 11; the size of the second display area 15 is proportional to the size of the auxiliary screen area 12. For example, when the area of the main screen area 11 is larger, the area of the first display area 14 is also larger. In this embodiment, since the sizes of the first display area 14 and the second display area 15 are determined according to the size of the screen, an appropriate size of the display area can be determined according to the specific screen aspect ratio to ensure The display content is displayed in a larger display area without distortion or distortion, thereby improving the user experience.

In some embodiments, the mirror image display method further includes: adjusting the size of the first display area and / or changing the position of the first display area 14 in response to a specific gesture operation applied to the first display area 14 ; And / or adjust the size of the second display area 15 and / or change the position of the second display area 15 in response to a specific gesture operation applied to the second display area 15; "Adjusting the size of the display area" means that the position of the display area does not change, and the area of the display area changes, thereby changing the size of the display area; "changing the position of the display area" means that the area of the display area does not change , The position of the display area changes, thereby moving the display area. Among them, specific gesture operations for moving the display area include but are not limited to single-finger touch display area and two-finger touch display area; specific gesture operations for adjusting the size of the display area include but are not limited to two-finger sliding away from each other Increasing the area of the display area, sliding the two directions closer to each other to reduce the area of the display area, etc.

In addition, the method of adjusting the area of the display area further includes that the size of the display area can be increased by dragging the boundary line of the display area and moving outside the display area, and can be reduced by dragging the boundary of the display area and moving it toward the display area The size of the display area. In this embodiment, during the process of changing the area of the display area, the aspect ratio of the display area is always kept constant, so as to avoid distortion or real situation of the picture due to the misalignment of the aspect ratio.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the display areas other than the display area on the main screen area 11 or the auxiliary screen area 12 are in a screen-off state to reduce energy consumption. In other embodiments, the display area other than the display area may also display desktop information or a corresponding interface of the next application.

Please refer to FIG. 5 again. In some embodiments, the mirror image display method further includes the following steps after step S12:

In step S51, it is determined whether the use state of the flexible display device 100 has changed. If yes, step S52 is executed; if no, the flow ends.

The use state of the flexible display device 100 includes the placed state or the held state of the flexible display device 100. In this embodiment, whether the use state of the flexible display device 100 has been changed can be sensed by a sensing device, for example, a gravity sensor, an acceleration sensor, a direction sensor, or the like. When the flexible display device 100 is placed, the use state changes, that is, the placement direction changes; when the flexible display device 100 is held, the use state changes, that is, the holding direction occurs change. When the use state of the flexible display device 100 changes, the positions of the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 will change. Therefore, the main screen area 11 and / or the auxiliary screen area 12 may be changed A sensing device is provided, and when the signal sensed by the sensing device located in the main screen area 11 and / or the auxiliary screen area 12 changes, it is determined that the use state of the flexible display device 100 has changed.

Step S52: Obtain the rotation direction and rotation angle of the main screen area 11 or the auxiliary screen area 12 when the usage state of the flexible display device 100 changes.

The rotation direction includes a counterclockwise rotation direction and a clockwise rotation direction. When the use state of the flexible display device 100 changes, the display states of the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 also change. It should be noted that, when the flexible display device 100 is in the folded state, since the main screen area 11 and the auxiliary screen area 12 are still a whole, when the main screen area 11 rotates, the auxiliary screen area 12 also follows the main screen Zone 11 rotates, but the direction of rotation is opposite and the angle of rotation is the same. For example, when the main screen area 11 rotates counterclockwise, the auxiliary screen area 12 rotates clockwise.

Step S53, controlling the display content displayed in the first display area 14 and the display content displayed in the second display area 15 to rotate the rotation angle in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the main screen area 11 or the auxiliary screen area 12 respectively The display content is displayed in the forward direction.

Specifically, when the use state of the main screen area 11 changes, and the rotation direction of the main screen area 11 is clockwise, the rotation direction of the auxiliary screen area 12 is counterclockwise. In order to display the content displayed in the first display area 14 and the second display area 15 in the forward direction, it is necessary to control the content displayed on the first display area 14 in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the main screen area 11 That is, rotate the rotation angle counterclockwise and control the content displayed by the second display area 15 to rotate the rotation angle in the same direction as the rotation direction of the main screen area 11, that is, clockwise. vice versa.

For example, when the main screen area 11 rotates 90 clockwise, the auxiliary screen area rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise. Therefore, the control rotates the first display area 14 counterclockwise by 90 degrees, and controls the second display area 15 to rotate clockwise by 90 degrees; when the main screen area 11 rotates counterclockwise by 90 degrees, the auxiliary screen area 12 rotates clockwise by 90 degrees, therefore, Control the first display area 14 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise, and rotate the second display area 15 counterclockwise by 90 degrees; when the main screen area 11 rotates 180 degrees clockwise, the auxiliary screen area rotates 180 degrees counterclockwise. One display area 14 is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise, and the second display area 15 is rotated 180 degrees clockwise. In this way, regardless of how the folded flexible display device 100 rotates, the first user and the second user can see the positive display content, which improves the user experience.

Please refer to FIG. 3 again. When the flexible display device 100 is in a folded state, the main screen area 11 includes a planar first display area 111 and a first side screen area 112 connected to the first display area 111. The auxiliary screen area 12 includes a flat second display area 121 and a second side screen area 122 connected to the second display area 121. Wherein, the first side screen area 112 and the second side screen area 122 are connected and correspond to the bending area 13. When the flexible display device 100 is in a folded state, the first side screen area 121 and the second side screen area 122 form a continuous arc. When the flexible display device is in an expanded state, the first side screen region 112 and the second side screen region 122 form a continuous plane.

In this embodiment, if a part of the currently displayed content is displayed in the first side screen area 112 or the second side screen area 122, the user may not be able to view the displayed content in different orientations, thereby affecting the user's access to the corresponding information. Therefore, the first display area 14 is defined in the first main display area 111; the second display area 15 is defined in the second main display area 121 so as to enhance the user's viewing effect.
