However, sometimes after the user controls the screen of the electronic device to turn off, it may be necessary to control the volume of the electronic device or control the screen of the electronic device to light up in a short period of time, because the volume of the electronic device is adjusted or the screen of the electronic device is controlled to light up or Turning off requires at least the use of the virtual touch control. Therefore, the electronic device needs to display the first identification of the virtual control control again on the screen. Repeatedly displaying or hiding the first identification of the virtual control control will reduce the life of the screen.

Therefore, in order to avoid reducing the life of the screen, after the screen of the control electronic device is turned off, the first logo that can control the virtual control control is still displayed on the edge area of the screen, that is, when the screen is changed to the off state, continue The first identifier of the virtual touch control is displayed in the edge area, and the first identifier of the virtual touch control can be directly operated when the user needs to adjust the volume of the electronic device or control the screen of the electronic device to turn on or off.

However, when the screen is in the off state, if the first logo of the virtual control control is displayed on the edge area of the screen for a long time, the screen may be damaged and the power consumption of the electronic device may also be increased.

Therefore, in order to avoid damaging the screen and avoid increasing the power consumption of the electronic device, in another embodiment of this embodiment, within a preset period of time after the screen is changed to the off state, if the posture information of the electronic device does not change, it is often explained The user does not control the electronic device, and then the user often does not have the need to adjust the volume of the electronic device or control the screen of the electronic device to turn on or off. In this way, the first identification of the virtual touch control can be hidden on the screen.

In another embodiment of this embodiment, every time the electronic device displays the first identifier of the virtual touch control in the edge area of the screen, it displays the first identifier of the virtual touch control at a specific position in the edge area of the screen. However, if the user is not accustomed to manipulating the first identification of the virtual touch control in the specific area, the user can reset the first identification display area of the virtual control control so that the electronic device will display the virtual touch control's In the case of the first identification, the user can set the first identification of the virtual touch control in the display area to facilitate the user to manipulate the first identification of the virtual touch control in the display area.

Specifically, when the second identifier of the virtual touch control is displayed, the user can input a movement operation on the second identifier of the virtual touch control, and the electronic device receives the movement operation on the second identifier of the virtual touch control; Then, in response to the moving operation, the default display area of the second mark of the virtual touch control on the screen is adjusted.

Afterwards, when the screen is in the off state, if the posture information of the electronic device is detected to change, the user often needs to manipulate the electronic device, such as controlling the electronic device to light up or adjusting the volume of the electronic device, etc., so that it can be displayed on the screen. The first identifier of the virtual touch control is displayed in the default display area.
