Detailed ways

Please refer to the drawings, where the same component symbols represent the same components, and the principle of the present application is implemented in an appropriate computing environment for illustration. The following description is based on the exemplified specific embodiments of the application, which should not be regarded as limiting other specific embodiments of the application that are not described in detail herein.

Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3. FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 are schematic structural diagrams of an electronic device with a retractable touch display screen provided by an embodiment of the present application.

The electronic device 100 of this embodiment includes a housing assembly 10, a flexible display 30, a driving member 50 and a driving mechanism 70. The housing assembly 10 has a hollow structure. The driving member 50, the driving mechanism 70, the camera 90 and other components can all be arranged in the housing assembly 10. It is understandable that the electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to mobile terminals such as mobile phones and tablet computers or other portable electronic devices. In this article, the electronic device 100 is a mobile phone as an example for description.

In this embodiment, the housing assembly 10 includes a first housing 12 and a second housing 14, and the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 can move relative to each other. In this embodiment, the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are slidably connected, that is, the second housing 14 can slide relative to the first housing 12.

Please refer to FIGS. 4 and 5, the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 jointly form an accommodating space 16. The accommodating space 16 can be used to place components such as the driving member 50, the camera 60, and the driving mechanism 70. The housing assembly 10 may further include a back cover 18, and the back cover 18 and the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 together form an accommodating space 16.

The driving member 50 is disposed in the second casing 14, one end of the flexible display screen 30 is disposed in the first casing 12, the flexible display screen 30 bypasses the driving member 50, and the other end of the flexible display screen is disposed in the accommodating space 16. In this way, part of the flexible display screen is hidden in the accommodating space 16, and part of the flexible display screen 30 hidden in the accommodating space 16 may not be lit. The first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are relatively far away, and the flexible display screen 30 can be driven by the driving member 50 to unfold, so that more flexible display screens 30 are exposed outside the accommodating space 16, as shown in FIG. 5. The flexible display screen 30 exposed to the outside of the accommodating space 16 is lighted up, so that the display area presented by the electronic device 100 becomes larger. For example, from FIG. 1 to FIG. 2, the morphological change comparison of the flexible display screen 30 of the electronic device from the contracted state to the laterally extended state can be shown.

The driving member 50 may be a rotating shaft structure with teeth 52 on the outside. The flexible display screen 30 is linked with the driving member 50 through meshing or the like. When the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are relatively far away, the driving member 50 is driven to engage The part of the flexible display screen 30 on the driving member 50 moves and unfolds.

It is understandable that the driving member 50 can also be a round shaft without teeth 52. When the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are relatively far away, the driving member 50 will flexibly display the part of the winding on the driving member 50. The screen 30 is stretched so that more flexible display screens are exposed outside the accommodating space 16 and are in a flat state. Specifically, the driving member 50 is rotatably disposed on the second housing 14. When the flexible display screen 30 is gradually expanded, the driving member 50 can rotate with the movement of the flexible display screen 30.

In other embodiments, the driving member 50 can also be fixed on the second housing 14, and the driving member 50 has a smooth surface. When the flexible display screen 30 is expanded, the driving member 50 can slidably contact with the flexible display screen 30 through its smooth surface.

When the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are relatively close, the flexible display screen can be retracted by the driving member 50. Alternatively, the electronic device 100 further includes a resetting member (not shown). One end of the flexible display screen housed in the accommodating space 16 is linked with the resetting member. When the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 are relatively close, the resetting member drives The flexible display screen 30 is reset, so that part of the flexible display screen is retracted into the accommodating space 16.

In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 70 can be arranged in the accommodating space 16, the driving mechanism 70 can be linked with the second housing 14, and the driving mechanism 70 is used to drive the second housing 14 relative to the first housing 12. The separation movement drives the flexible display screen assembly 30 to stretch. It can be understood that the driving mechanism 70 can also be omitted, and the user can directly move the first housing and the second housing relative to one another manually.

It should be noted that, in addition to the hardware arrangement design shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 so that the flexible display screen can be expanded and contracted in the lateral direction of the electronic device (for example, expansion and contraction in the left and right directions), in some other embodiments, It is also possible to change the direction of the hardware arrangement design so that the flexible display screen can expand and contract in the longitudinal direction of the electronic device (for example, expand and contract in the up and down direction).

It is understandable that the execution subject of the embodiments of the present application may be an electronic device such as a smart phone or a tablet computer.

Please refer to FIG. 6, which is a schematic flowchart of the first method of device control according to an embodiment of the present application. The device control method can be applied to an electronic device, and the electronic device can include a retractable display screen. The process of the device control method may include:

101. Obtain a parameter used to indicate the state of the electronic device.

With the continuous development of technology, the form of electronic equipment is also changing. From a small screen to a large screen, from a simple display screen used to display images and text to a touch display screen that can receive user touch operations, and so on. With the development of technology, users have higher and higher requirements for the intelligence of electronic devices. However, in related technologies, the degree of intelligence of electronic devices is still not high.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may have a retractable display screen. Among them, the retractable display screen may be a retractable display panel (The Retractable Display Panel). The retractable display screen can be a flexible display screen, and the flexible display screen can be bent, rolled, folded, and so on. On an electronic device equipped with a retractable display screen, the visible size of the screen can be increased by stretching the retractable display screen, and the visible size of the screen can also be reduced by shrinking the retractable display screen. For example, the flexible display screen 30 in FIGS. 1 to 5 is a retractable display screen.

In the embodiment of the present application, for example, the electronic device may first obtain the parameters used to indicate the current state of the electronic device.

It should be noted that the parameters used by the electronic device to indicate the state of the electronic device may be one or more. These parameters may be, for example, parameters used to indicate the power state of the electronic device, parameters used to indicate the orientation state of the display screen of the electronic device, parameters used to indicate the usage scenario of the electronic device, and parameters used to indicate the storage capacity state of the electronic device. Parameters, parameters used to represent the motion state of electronic devices, and so on.

For example, after acquiring the parameters used to indicate the current state of the electronic device, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to expand or contract according to these parameters, thereby increasing the visible size of the display screen or reducing the visible size of the display screen. .

It is understandable that, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can automatically control the retractable display screen to expand or contract according to the parameters used to indicate the state of the electronic device, without the user having to manually adjust the retractable display screen. Stretching or contracting, so the application can improve the degree of intelligence of the electronic device.

Please refer to FIG. 7, which is a schematic diagram of a second flow of the device control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The device control method can be applied to an electronic device, and the electronic device can include a retractable display screen. The process of the device control method may include:

201. Obtain one or more parameters indicating the state of the electronic device as needed. The parameters include at least the orientation information of the display screen of the electronic device, remaining power, usage scenario information, and information about whether it is charging. The orientation information of the screen includes at least whether the orientation of the display screen is upward or downward.

For example, the electronic device may first obtain one or more parameters for the current state of the electronic device as required, and the parameters may include at least the orientation information of the display screen of the electronic device, remaining power, usage scenario information, and whether it is in Charging information, etc.

Wherein, the orientation information of the display screen may at least include that the orientation of the display screen is upward or the orientation of the display screen is downward. For example, the display screen of the electronic device is the front side, and the rear case of the electronic device is the back side. Then, that the orientation of the display screen is upward may mean that the electronic device faces upward. The downward orientation of the display screen may mean that the reverse side of the electronic device faces upward.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device acquires one or more parameters used to indicate the state of the electronic device as needed. That is to say, if one or several parameters obtained are sufficient to determine how to perform a retractable operation on the retractable display screen, then the electronic device does not need to obtain other parameters. If the obtained one or several parameters are still not enough to determine how to perform a retractable operation on the retractable display, then the electronic device can further obtain other parameters, so as to adjust the retractable display based on all the obtained parameters. The display screen performs telescopic operation.

For example, the electronic device can obtain the orientation information of the display screen. If it has been able to determine how to perform the telescopic operation on the retractable display screen based on the orientation information of the display screen, the electronic device may not need to obtain other parameters. If it is still not possible to determine how to extend and retract the retractable display screen based on the orientation information of the display screen, the electronic device can further obtain other parameters. The remaining battery information is used to determine how to extend and retract the retractable display screen, and so on.

In an embodiment, the electronic device may preset the order of acquiring the parameters. For example, it can be preset to obtain the orientation information of the display screen first, if it is impossible to determine how to perform a telescopic operation on the retractable display screen according to the orientation information of the display screen. Then, the electronic device obtains the remaining power information. If you still can’t figure out how to extend and retract the retractable display screen based on the display screen, orientation information, and remaining battery information. Then, the electronic device can obtain usage scene information, and so on. In this way, the electronic device can obtain the required parameters as required.

202. Control the retractable display screen to expand and contract according to the acquired parameters.

For example, after obtaining one or more parameters used to indicate the state of the electronic device as needed, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to expand and contract.

It is understandable that, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can obtain one or more parameters used to indicate the state of the electronic device as needed to automatically control the retractable display screen to expand or contract without the user The retractable display screen is manually expanded or contracted, so the present application can improve the degree of intelligence of the electronic device.

Please refer to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a schematic flowchart of a third method of a device control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The device control method can be applied to an electronic device, and the electronic device can include a retractable display screen. The process of the device control method may include:

301. Obtain orientation information of a display screen of an electronic device.

For example, the electronic device may first obtain the orientation information of the display screen. Wherein, the orientation information of the display screen may at least include that the orientation of the display screen is upward or the orientation of the display screen is downward. For example, the display screen of the electronic device is the front side, and the rear case of the electronic device is the back side. Then, that the orientation of the display screen is upward may mean that the electronic device faces upward. The downward orientation of the display screen may mean that the reverse side of the electronic device faces upward.

In an embodiment, the electronic device may obtain the orientation information of the display screen through a sensor. For example, the electronic device can obtain the orientation information of the display screen through the output data of the acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor is also called G-sensor, and its output data is the acceleration value of the x, y, and z axes, which includes the influence of gravity. When the front side (display screen) of the electronic device is placed on the desktop, the x-axis output of the acceleration sensor is 0, the y-axis output is 0, and the z-axis output is 9.81. When the back side (rear case) of the electronic device is placed flat on the desktop, the x-axis output of the acceleration sensor is 0, the y-axis output is 0, and the z-axis is -9.81. Therefore, the electronic device can determine whether the display screen of the electronic device faces up or down through the output data of the acceleration sensor.

Of course, in other embodiments, the electronic device may also use other sensors or other methods to determine whether the display screen of the electronic device is facing up or down. It does not matter whether the display screen of the electronic device faces up or down.

If the orientation of the display screen is downward, then enter the flow of 302.

If the orientation of the display screen is upward, then enter the process of 303.

302. If the orientation of the display screen is downward, control the retractable display screen to shrink.

For example, if the electronic device obtains the information that the display screen is facing downward, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to shrink.

It is understandable that when the display screen of the electronic device is oriented downward, it can be considered that the user will not use the display screen of the electronic device temporarily, so the electronic device can shrink the retractable display screen.

It is understandable that when the display screen of the electronic device is oriented downward, shrinking the retractable display screen can save power and power consumption by reducing the display area of the display screen.

In one embodiment, if the orientation of the display screen in 302 is downward, the process of controlling the retractable display screen to shrink may include:

If the orientation of the display screen is downward, the length of time that the orientation of the display screen is in the downward state is acquired.

If the duration of the downward orientation of the display screen is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, the retractable display screen is controlled to shrink.

For example, after obtaining the orientation information of the display screen, the electronic device determines that the orientation of the display screen is downward. Then, the electronic device can obtain the time period during which the orientation of the display screen is in the downward state, and detect whether the time period during which the orientation of the display screen is in the downward state is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold.

If it is detected that the time period during which the orientation of the display screen is in the downward state is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, it can be considered that the display screen of the electronic device has been in the downward state for a long time. Since the orientation of the display screen of the electronic device is in the downward state, it can be considered that the user does not need to watch the content displayed on the display screen or the user does not need to use the electronic device. Therefore, when it is detected that the display screen of the electronic device has been facing downward for a long time, it can be considered that the user has used the content displayed on the display screen for a long time or the user has not used the electronic device for a long time. In this case, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to shrink. For example, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to fully retract. The fully retracted state of the retractable display screen can be shown in Figure 1.

In another embodiment, if it is detected that the display screen is facing downward for a period of time less than the preset duration threshold, it can be considered that the display screen of the electronic device is only temporarily facing downwards, and the user may still need Watch the content displayed on the display screen or need to use the display screen of an electronic device. Therefore, in this case, the electronic device can keep the state of the retractable display screen unchanged, that is, the electronic device may not stretch the retractable display screen.

It is understandable that by controlling the retractable display screen to shrink when it is detected that the orientation of the display screen is in the downward state for a duration greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, the flexibility of the electronic device for display expansion and contraction can be improved. And diversity.

303. If the orientation of the display screen is upward, obtain the remaining power of the electronic device.

For example, if the electronic device obtains the information that the display screen is facing upward, the electronic device may further obtain its current remaining power, and detect whether the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold.

If it is detected that the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold, then the process of 304 is entered.

If it is detected that the remaining power is greater than or equal to the preset first power threshold, it can be considered that the current remaining power of the electronic device is still relatively sufficient. Therefore, the electronic device currently does not need to perform expansion control on the retractable display screen, that is, the electronic device can maintain the current state of the retractable display screen unchanged.

304. If the remaining power of the electronic device is less than the preset first power threshold, obtain usage scenario information of the electronic device.

For example, if it is detected that the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold, it can be considered that the remaining power of the electronic device is low or insufficient. In this case, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to shrink.

In the embodiment of the present application, in order to perform telescopic control of the retractable display screen smarter and more refined, if it is detected that the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold, then it can be considered that the remaining power of the electronic device is low or insufficient. That is, at this time, the orientation of the display screen of the electronic device is upwards and the remaining power is low, the electronic device can further obtain its current usage scene information, and detect whether the current usage scene is the first type of usage scene or the second type of usage. Scenes. Among them, the first type of use scene may be a preset use scene suitable for using a small-sized screen, such as a scene of listening to music. The second type of use scene may be a preset use scene suitable for using a large-size screen, such as a game playing scene and a video watching scene.

If it is detected that the current use scene is the first type of use scene, then enter the flow of 305.

If it is detected that the current use scene is the second type of use scene, then enter the flow of 306.

305. If the electronic device is in the first type of use scene, control the retractable display screen to shrink, where the first type of use scene is a preset use scene suitable for using a small-sized screen.

For example, if the electronic device detects that the current use scenario is the first type of use scenario, that is, the current state of the electronic device is that the display is facing upwards, the remaining power is low, and it is a use scenario suitable for using a small screen. The retractable display screen can be controlled to contract, for example, to be fully contracted or partially contracted, thereby saving the power and power consumption of the electronic device.

In one embodiment, if the electronic device in the above 305 is in the first type of use scenario, the process of controlling the retractable display screen to shrink may include:

If the electronic device is in the first type of use scenario, obtain information about whether the electronic device is charging;

If the electronic device is not being charged, the retractable display screen is controlled to shrink.

For example, when it is determined that the current state of the electronic device is that the display screen is facing upwards, the remaining power is low, and is suitable for use with a small-size screen, the electronic device can further obtain information about whether it is charging.

If it is detected that the electronic device is not charging, it can be considered that the electronic device cannot be recharged, that is, the current state of the electronic device is that the display is facing upwards, the remaining power is low, and it is suitable for the use of small-size screens and the electronic device Electricity cannot be replenished. In this case, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to shrink, thereby saving the electric power and power consumption of the electronic device by reducing the display area of the display screen.

In one embodiment, it is determined that the current state of the electronic device is that the orientation of the display screen is upward, the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold, and it is currently a use scenario suitable for using a small-size screen, and the electronic device is not available. In the case of power replenishment, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to perform partial contraction instead of complete contraction. For example, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to shrink to three-quarters of the maximum stretchable length. For example, if the maximum stretchable length of the display screen of the electronic device is 8 cm, then the electronic device can control the stretchable display screen to shrink to a state where the stretched length is 6 cm (that is, the retracted length is 2 cm), and so on.

In one embodiment, after controlling the retractable display screen to partially contract, the electronic device may detect whether the electronic device is being charged at intervals or cyclically. If it is detected that the electronic device is charging, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to extend, for example, to fully extend. For example, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to stretch from 6 cm to 8 cm.

In one embodiment, if it is detected that the current state of the electronic device is that the display is facing upwards, the remaining power is low, and it is suitable for use with a small screen, but the electronic device is charging, that is, the electronic device can get power. In addition, in this case, the electronic device can keep the state of the retractable display screen unchanged without performing expansion control.

In one embodiment, it is determined that the current state of the electronic device is that the orientation of the display screen is upward, the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold, and it is currently a use scenario suitable for using a small-size screen, and the electronic device is not available. In the case of power replenishment, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to partially contract. For example, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to shrink to three-quarters of the maximum stretchable length. After that, the electronic device can detect whether the remaining power will be less than the preset second power threshold, where the preset second power threshold is less than the preset first power threshold.

If it is detected that the remaining power is less than the preset second power threshold, it can be considered that the remaining power of the electronic device is already very low. At this time, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to fully contract, thereby further saving power consumption.

If it is detected that the remaining power is between the preset first power threshold and the preset second power threshold, the electronic device may detect whether it is being charged at intervals or cyclically. If charging is detected, the electronic device can control the retractable display to fully extend. If it is detected that it is not charging, the electronic device can keep the state of the retractable display screen unchanged, and so on.

306. If the electronic device is in a second type of use scene, obtain information about whether the electronic device is charging, where the second type of use scene is a preset use scene suitable for using a large-size screen.

307. If the electronic device is not being charged, it is prompted whether to shrink the retractable display screen.

308. Obtain feedback information, where the feedback information is feedback on whether to shrink the retractable display screen.

309. Perform telescopic control on the telescopic display screen according to the feedback information.

For example, 306, 307, 308, and 309 may include:

For example, the electronic device detects that the current use scenario is the second type of use scenario, that is, the current state of the electronic device is that the display is facing upwards, the remaining power is low, and it is a use scenario suitable for using a large screen (such as playing games or Watch the video scene), then the electronic device can obtain information about whether it is currently charging.

If the electronic device is currently charging, it can be considered that although the remaining power of the electronic device is low, it can currently be replenished. Therefore, the electronic device does not need to control the retractable display screen at present, that is, the electronic device can maintain the retractable display The current state of the screen remains unchanged. Alternatively, since the electronic device can currently be recharged, if the current display screen of the electronic device is not extended to the maximum extent, the electronic device can also be extended to the maximum extent, that is, the retractable display screen can be fully extended. Among them, the state of the retractable display screen when it is fully extended can be as shown in FIG. 2.

If the electronic device is not charging, that is, the current state of the electronic device is that the display is facing upwards, the remaining power is low, and it is suitable for use with a large-size screen, and the electronic device is currently unable to receive power replenishment, then consider that it is currently suitable The use scenario of using a large-size screen, so the electronic device generates a prompt message, which can be used to ask the user whether the retractable display screen needs to be retracted.

After that, the electronic device can obtain the user's feedback information on the above-mentioned prompt information, and control the retractable display screen according to the feedback information. For example, if the user chooses to shrink the retractable display screen, the electronic device can shrink the retractable display screen according to the user's selection, thereby saving power and power consumption. If the user chooses not to shrink the retractable display screen, the electronic device can keep the current state of the retractable display screen unchanged.

Aspects can also improve user experience.

It is understandable that, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can obtain one or more parameters that indicate the state of the electronic device as needed, such as the orientation information of the display screen, the remaining power information, the usage scenario information, and whether it is charging or not. Information and other parameters, and automatically control the retractable display screen to expand and contract according to these parameters, so as to improve the intelligence of electronic equipment, and realize the electronic equipment to perform fine expansion control of the retractable display screen, and in certain scenes By shrinking the retractable display screen, the display area of the display screen can be reduced, thereby achieving the effect of saving power and power consumption.

Please refer to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12. FIG. 9 to FIG. 12 are schematic diagrams of scenes of the device control method provided by the embodiments of this application.

For example, the electronic device provided in this embodiment includes a retractable touch display screen. The retractable touch display screen may be a retractable touch display screen. The retractable touch display screen can be a flexible display screen, and the flexible display screen can be bent, rolled, folded, and the like. On the electronic device equipped with a retractable touch display screen, the visible size of the screen can be increased by stretching the screen, and the visible size of the screen can also be reduced by shrinking the screen. For example, as shown in Figure 1-2, Figure 1 shows the form of the screen of the electronic device when the retractable touch screen is in a fully retracted state, and Figure 2 shows the retractable touch screen in a fully extended state. The form of the screen of the electronic device in the state.

In the embodiment of the present application, for example, the electronic device may first determine the orientation information of its display screen through the output data of the acceleration sensor, where the orientation information of the display screen may at least include that the orientation of the display screen is upward or the orientation of the display screen is down. For example, the display screen of the electronic device is the front side, and the rear case of the electronic device is the back side. Then, that the orientation of the display screen is upward may mean that the electronic device faces upward. The downward orientation of the display screen may mean that the reverse side of the electronic device faces upward.

For example, when the retractable display screen is fully extended, the user places the back shell of the electronic device on the desktop with the rear shell facing upward, that is, the electronic device determines that the direction of the display screen is downward. In this case, the electronic device can obtain the duration of the downward orientation of the display screen, and detect whether the duration of the downward orientation of the display screen is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold.

For example, if the electronic device detects that the display screen is facing downward for a period of time greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, it can be considered that the display screen of the electronic device has been facing downwards for a long time. In this case, it can be considered that the user has used the content displayed on the display screen for a long time or the user has not used the electronic device for a long time. Therefore, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to fully retract.

If the electronic device detects that the time period during which the orientation of the display screen is in the downward state is less than the preset duration threshold, the electronic device may not perform expansion control on the retractable display screen first.

For another example, when the retractable display screen is fully extended, the user places the display screen of the electronic device facing up on the desktop, that is, the electronic device determines that the direction of the display screen is upward. In this case, the electronic device may further obtain the information of the remaining power and detect whether the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold.

For example, if the electronic device detects that the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold, it can be considered that the remaining power of the electronic device is low or insufficient. At this time, the electronic device can further obtain its current usage scene information, and detect whether the current usage scene is the first type of usage scene or the second type of usage scene. Among them, the first type of use scene may be a preset use scene suitable for using a small-sized screen, such as a scene of listening to music. The second type of use scene may be a preset use scene suitable for using a large-size screen, such as a game playing scene and a video watching scene.

For example, if the electronic device detects that the current use scenario is the first type of use scenario, that is, the current state of the electronic device is that the display is facing upwards, the remaining power is low, and it is a use scenario suitable for using a small screen. You can get further information about whether it is charging.

For example, the electronic device obtains that it is not currently being charged. In this case, the electronic device may control the retractable display screen to partially contract. For example, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to shrink to three-quarters of the maximum stretchable length. For example, if the maximum extendable length of the display screen of the electronic device is 8 cm, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to retract by 2 cm.

For example, if the electronic device detects that the orientation of the display screen is upward, the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold, the current music playing scene is suitable for using a small screen, and the electronic device is not charging, then the electronic device can control the retractable The display screen is retracted to the left by 2 cm, and the shape change of the electronic device can be shown in Figure 9.

After the electronic device is retracted to a length of 2 cm, the electronic device may detect whether the remaining power is less than the preset second power threshold at a preset time interval, where the preset second power threshold is less than the preset first power threshold. For example, the preset first power threshold is a, and the preset second power threshold is b, where a is greater than b. If it is detected that the remaining power of the electronic device is greater than or equal to the preset second power threshold and less than the preset first power threshold, for example, the remaining power of the electronic device is in the interval [a, b], then the power of the electronic device can be considered to be lower Low but not very low. In this case, the electronic device can detect whether it is charging.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, if the electronic device detects that it is charging, it can be considered that the electronic device can be recharged at this time. Then, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to fully extend. For example, the electronic device controls the retractable display screen to extend 2 cm to the right, and the shape change of the display screen of the electronic device can be as shown in FIG. 10.

If it is detected that the electronic device is not being charged, it can be considered that the electronic device is not yet able to receive power replenishment at this time. Then, the electronic device can keep the state of the retractable display screen unchanged, that is, the retractable display screen is not stretched. When it is detected that the remaining power of the electronic device is less than the preset second power threshold, it can be considered that the remaining power of the electronic device is already very low. In this case, in order to save power consumption, the electronic device can control the retractable display screen to fully contract, and the shape change of the display screen of the electronic device can be as shown in FIG. 11.

For another example, when it is determined that the orientation of the display screen of the electronic device is upward and the remaining power is less than the preset first power threshold, the electronic device detects that its current use scene is a scene for playing a video, and the scene for playing a video belongs to The second type of use scenario, at this time, the electronic device can obtain information about whether it is charging.

For example, if the electronic device detects that it is not currently being charged, it can be considered that the current remaining power of the electronic device is low, but it is currently suitable for use with a large-size screen for display, and the electronic device cannot be recharged temporarily. At this time, the electronic device A prompt message can be generated, and the prompt message can be used to prompt the user whether to shrink the retractable display screen, as shown in FIG. 12.

For example, after receiving the above-mentioned prompt information, the user inputs information to shrink the retractable display screen into the electronic device, then the electronic device can shrink the retractable display screen. For example, the electronic device may fully shrink the retractable display screen, or the electronic device may shrink the retractable display screen to a certain extent without fully shrinking, and so on.
