Specifically, it may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

An embodiment of the present application provides a split-screen method. In the case of displaying the target interface, the electronic device displays the interface of the application program indicated by the first identifier and the second identifier in split-screen according to the user's first input of the first identifier and the second identifier. Two identifies the indicated application. In this solution, for the interfaces of multiple application programs that need to be displayed on a split screen, the user can directly select and input the identifications of these application programs, so that the electronic device can quickly display the interfaces of the multiple application programs on different screens. The screen part, without the need for the user to go through multiple inputs in the traditional technology, the interfaces of the multiple application programs can be displayed in split screens. The interfaces of multiple application programs are displayed in split screens, which improves the efficiency and flexibility of split-screen display of electronic devices.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first identifier is on the first page of the target interface, and the second identifier is on the second page of the target interface; the first input includes a first sub-input and a second sub-input. The above step 202 can be specifically implemented through the following steps 501 and 502 .

Step 501, the electronic device reduces the size of the first logo in response to the first sub-input.

In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first sub-input is the user's input on the first identifier on the first page (for example, a long-press input).

Step 502: The electronic device displays the interface of the first application program and the interface of the second application program in split screens in response to the second sub-input.

In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned second sub-input is the user's input (for example, click input) on the second identifier on the second page.

It should be noted that, for descriptions of the first sub-input and the second sub-input, reference may be made to the description of the third implementation manner above, which will not be repeated here.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device reduces the size of the first identifier until it gradually disappears, it may fill in the vacant identifier position in the target interface with the identifier of the application program.

In one manner, the electronic device may sequentially move the identifiers behind the first identifier forward by one identifier bit, so as to fill vacant identifier bits.

In another manner, the electronic device may directly add the identifier of the first application program in other pages to the vacant identifier position. Alternatively, the electronic device may add an adjacent identifier following the first identifier to the vacant identifier position, and insert the first application program in other pages into the original identifier position of the adjacent identifier. Alternatively, the electronic device may directly add the identifier of an application related to the application indicated by the first identifier (for example, an application of the same type as the application indicated by the first identifier) into the vacant identifier.

In another way, the user can perform sliding input (such as left sliding input, right sliding input) in the target interface, so that the electronic device updates the current page of the target interface to another page of the target interface, and the user can update the current page of the target interface. The identification in a page is selected and input, so that the electronic device fills the identification selected by the user into the vacant identification position.

Exemplarily, in conjunction with (A) in FIG. 4 , as shown in FIG. 9 , the mobile phone reduces the size of the first logo until it gradually disappears, and the mobile phone can place an adjacent logo behind the first logo (that is, App7) (that is, App8) is moved to the vacant identification position, and the identification (for example, App11) of the first application program in another page is moved to the original identification position of App8, so as to realize the filling of the vacant identification position.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the target interface includes multiple pages. Due to the limited display size of the screen, the identification of some application programs is not displayed on the current page of the target interface. Before the user performs the second sub-input, Sliding input (such as left sliding input, right sliding input) can be performed in the target interface first, so that the electronic device can switch from the current page of the target interface to another page, so that the user can switch from the other page through the second sub-input Select an ID (that is, the second ID) from the IDs displayed on the page.

Exemplarily, in conjunction with FIG. 9 , as shown in (A) in FIG. 10 , the user can perform a left-swipe input on the target interface, so that the mobile phone displays a page as shown in (B) in FIG. 10 (ie, the target interface Another page of another page), this page includes the identifications of multiple background applications (such as App11 to App15), and the user can select and input an application identification (App12) on this page, so that the mobile phone can be divided into The screen displays the interface of App7 and the interface of App12.

In the embodiment of the present application, the user can complete screen splitting through one long-press input and one click input, which simplifies the user's split-screen operation and improves the flexibility and efficiency of electronic device split-screen.
