具体实施方式
随着屏幕技术的发展,使越来越大的屏幕成为可能。折叠屏电子设备(例如折叠屏手机、折叠屏平板电脑等)在未来势必出现多种折叠方式,而折叠方式的不同,将会带来更多布局以及使用方式上的变化。
例如,图1所示的为本申请实施例提供的一例折叠屏手机结构的示意图,图1中的a图所示的为折叠屏手机在折叠态的示意图,图1中的b图所示的为:将图1中的a图所示的手机绕着折叠区域处的转轴展开为展开态(展平态)的示意图,如图1中的b图所示的,在屏幕上存在折叠区域,位于折叠区域左右两侧的屏幕可以绕着折叠区域处的转轴转动实现展开或者折叠。例如,在折叠区域处可以设置铰链等部件,从而实现折叠区域左右两侧的屏幕可以绕着折叠区域处的转轴转动。在将手机(如无特别说明,本申请实施例中的手机均指的是折叠屏手机)绕着折叠区域处的转轴转动展开后,手机的屏幕被折叠区域分为两部分,分别为第一屏幕区域(或者也可以称为第一显示区域、第一窗口等)和第二屏幕区域(或者也可以称为第二显示区域、第二窗口等),如图1中的b图所示的,该可折叠显示屏在展开形态下可以朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相背对的方向折叠(即外折方式),从而将屏幕折叠为不同的角度。图1中的b图所示的为:将图1中的a图所示的手机绕着折叠区域处的转轴展开为展开态(展平态)的示意图。在展平后,第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域背面形成的角度为(即屏幕背面内折角为),例如,的值可以为180°,或者,的值和180°之间的差值小于一个预设的阈值(即的值也可以是接近180°的某一个值)。图1中的c图所示的为将图1中的b图所示的手机绕着折叠区域处的转轴,朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相背对的方向折叠(外折方式)后形成折叠角度(即屏幕背面内折角为)的示意图,如图1中的c图所示的,折叠角度小于180°。
可以理解的是,图1所示的为一折折叠屏手机为左右折叠的情况,在本申请实施例中,折叠屏手机还可以为上下折叠的情况,例如为图2所示的,图2中的a图所示的为本申请实施例提供的折叠屏手机在展开态的示意图,在屏幕上存在折叠区域,位于折叠区域上下两侧的屏幕可以绕着折叠区域处的转轴转动实现展开或者折叠。该可折叠显示屏在展开形态下可以朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相面对的方向折叠(即内折方式),从而将屏幕折叠为不同的角度。图2中的a图所示的为手机在展开态(展平态)的示意图。第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域的屏幕正面形成的角度为例如,的值可以为180°,或者,的值和180°之间的差值小于一个预设的阈值(即的值也可以是接近180°的某一个值)。图2中的b图所示的为绕着折叠区域处的转轴,朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相面对的方向折叠(内折方式)后形成折叠角度的示意图,折叠角度小于180°。
又例如,图3所示的为本申请实施例提供的一种两折折叠屏手机结构的示意图,图3中的a图所示的为折叠屏手机在展开态(即展平状态下)的示意图,图3中的b图所示的为折叠屏手机在折叠态的示意图。如图3中的a图所示的,在屏幕上存在两个折叠区域,位于任意一个折叠区域左右两侧的屏幕可以绕着折叠区域处的转轴转动 实现展开或者折叠。手机的屏幕被折叠区域分为三部分,分别为第一屏幕区域(或者也可以称为第一显示区域、第一窗口等)、第二屏幕区域(或者也可以称为第二显示区域、第二窗口等)、第三屏幕区域(或者也可以称为第三显示区域、第三窗口等)。图3中的b图所示的为将图3中的a图所示的可折叠屏手机分别绕着折叠区域处的转轴,朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相背对(即外折方式)的方向折叠后形成折叠角度(即屏幕背面内折角为)、第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域相面对(即内折方式)的方向折叠后形成折叠角度(即屏幕正面内折角为)的示意图。在本申请的其他实施例中,也可以将图3中的a图所示的可折叠屏手机朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相面对(即内折方式)、第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域相背对(即外折方式)的方向折叠,本申请实施例在此不作限制。
可以理解的是,图3所示的为两折折叠屏手机为左右折叠的情况,在本申请实施例中,两折或者多折折叠屏手机还可以为上下折叠的情况,例如图4所示的为两折折叠屏手机为上下折叠的情况,如图4中的a图所示的为两折折叠屏手机在展开状态下(即展平状态下)的示意图,在屏幕上存在两个折叠区域,位于任意一个折叠区域上下两侧的屏幕可以绕着折叠区域处的转轴转动实现展开或者折叠。如图4中的b图所示的,该可折叠显示屏在展开形态下可以朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相面对(即内折方式)的方向折叠后形成折叠角度折叠角度为小于180°。第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域相对于折叠区域为展平状态,即第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域的屏幕正面形成的折叠角度为例如,的值可以为180°或者,的值和180°之间的差值小于一个预设的阈值。
应该理解的是,在本申请的其他实施例中,该可折叠显示屏在展开形态下,也可以朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相背对(即外折方式)、第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域相面对(即内折方式)的方向折叠;或者,朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相面对(即内折方式)、第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域相背对(即外折方式)的方向折叠;或者,也可以朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相背对(即外折方式)、第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域相背对(即外折方式)的方向折叠。本申请实施例在此不作限制。
也就是说,在本申请提供的各种折叠屏电子设备中(例如包括折叠屏手机、折叠屏平板电脑等),对于任意一个折叠区域两侧的屏幕,其折叠方式可以是外折方式,或者也可以是内折方式。本申请实施例在此不作限制。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中描述的一折折叠屏手机,可以理解为图1或图2所所示的存在一个转轴的折叠屏手机;本申请实施例描述的两折折叠屏手机,可以理解为图3所示的存在两个转轴的折叠屏手机。在其他实施例中,一折折叠屏手机、二折折叠屏手机也可以有其他名称,例如,图3所示的折叠屏手机由于存在三个屏幕区域,也可称为三折屏手机,本申请对其名称不作限制。
还应该理解的是,在本申请实施例中,内折方式可以理解为:绕着某一个折叠区域处的转轴,将该转轴左右或者上下两个屏幕区域,朝着两个屏幕正面相面对的方向进行折叠。其中,屏幕正面可以理解为折叠屏手机较大的显示屏(即可折叠的柔性显示屏)显示图像或者画面的那一面,利用这种折叠在折叠的过程中,两个屏幕正面之 间的夹角(即屏幕正面内折角)会越来越小。
在本申请实施例中,外折方式可以理解为:绕着某一个折叠区域处的转轴,将该转轴左右或者上下两个屏幕区域,朝着两个屏幕背面相面对的方向进行折叠。其中,屏幕背面可以理解为与屏幕正面相对的那一面,例如可以为手机的后盖所在的那一面等。利用这种折叠在折叠的过程中,两个屏幕背面之间的夹角(即屏幕背面内折角)会越来越小。
目前,对于折叠屏手机,当手机被折叠使用时,不同屏幕区域中的界面布局会根据折叠方式调整显示方式。例如:图5所示的为利用立式交互模式使用折叠屏手机的示意图。图5中的a图所示的为用户在展开态下使用手机观看视频的显示界面的示意图。当用户将手机折叠绕着折叠区域折叠(内折方式)到合适角度后,如图5中的b图所示的,手机的屏幕被折叠区域分为第一屏幕区域(即上半部分屏幕)和第二屏幕区域(即下半部分屏幕),折叠屏手机便可开启自适应分屏功能,用上半部分屏幕播放视频画面,下半部分屏幕用来进行暂停、快进等操控,即将一个应用的一个界面分为两部分,分别显示在两个屏幕区域,适合平放在桌面上使用。
但是,目前的折叠屏手机虽然可以将同一个界面分成不同的部分,分别显示在折叠后的不同屏幕区域上,但是各个屏幕区域显示的界面的方向不会改变,不涉及不同屏幕区域显示的界面的切换,不适合多人使用的场景。
例如,图6所示的为一例将图5所示的折叠屏手机绕着折叠区域上下外折后放在桌面上后,第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域的界面示意图。图6中的a图所示的为第一屏幕区域显示的界面,图6中的b图所示的为第二屏幕区域显示的界面。在这种情况下,假设有两个用户在不同的方向观看(例如两个用户面对面的场景),一个用户面对第一屏幕区域,另一个用户面对第二屏幕区域,则其中有一个用户便不能观看到该视频,降低用户体验。
有鉴于此,本申请提供了一种折叠屏电子设备显示以及控制方法,可以实现多个用户在同一个折叠屏电子设备使用相同或者不同的应用,满足多用户同时对折叠屏电子设备使用和控制的需求,简化用户操作,提高用户体验。
下面将具体说明本申请提供的折叠屏电子设备显示以及控制方法。
应该理解的是,本申请提供的折叠屏电子设备显示以及控制方法可以应用于具有折叠屏的电子设备中。例如,具有折叠屏的电子设备可以包括:折叠屏手机、折叠屏平板电脑等。本申请实施例中对于折叠屏电子设备的具体形态不作限制。并且,在本申请实施例中,折叠屏的电子设备可以包括一个或者多个折叠区域,即可以为一折或者多折的折叠屏。对于折叠屏的折叠方式,可以为内折方式,也可以为外折方式,或者包括内折和外折方式等。本申请实施例对此不作限制。
下文的例子中,将以折叠屏手机为例进行说明。
图7所示的为本申请实施例提供的一例折叠屏手机在展开和折叠后显示界面的示意图,如图7中的a图所示的为该折叠屏手机在展平状态时(例如,屏幕背面内折角为180°,或者,的值和180°之间的差值小于一个预设的阈值)的示意图,在界面上显示有应用A(也可以称为应用程序A)和应用B(也可以称为应用程序B)两个应用,折叠屏手机的显示界面由折叠区域分为两部分,分别为第一屏幕区域和第二屏 幕区域。其中,应用B所占的显示界面包括第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域,而应用A所占的显示界面仅为第一屏幕区域的部分。即应用B所占的显示界面的面积大于应用A所占的显示界面的面积。图7中的b图所示的为将图7中的a图所示的展平状态手机,绕着折叠区域处的转轴以外折方式折叠后形成折叠角度(即屏幕背面内折角为)的示意图。其中,外折方式可以理解为朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相背对的方向折叠。图7中的c图所示的为将图7中的b图所示手机恢复到图7中的a图所示的展平状态后的界面的示意图。如图7中的c图所示的,在将手机折叠并复位后,应用A和应用B将按照手机的硬件折叠方式布局,即应用A显示在第一屏幕区域内,应用B显示在第二屏幕区域内。

图26所示的为本申请实施例提供的一例折叠屏手机在沉浸模式下显示界面的示意图,图26中的a图所示的为将手机绕着折叠区域处的转轴展开为展开态(展平态)的示意图。例如,在展开后第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域背面形成的折叠角为的值可以为180°,或者,的值和180°之间的差值小于一个预设的阈值。在将手机展平后,手机的屏幕被折叠区域分为两部分,分别为第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域。应用A显示在第一屏幕区域上,应用B显示在第二屏幕区域上。将图26中的a图所示展平状态的手机,绕着折叠区域处的转轴朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相背对的方向折叠(外折方式)后形成折叠角度(即屏幕背面内折角为),折叠后的状态如图26中的b图或者c图所示的折叠状态。将图26中的b图或者c图所示的折叠状态的手机放在桌面上(即折叠区域处的转轴和桌面平行)。假设只有一个用户在使用该手机,例如该用户面对第二屏幕区域。图26中的b图和c图分别是从不同的角度观看手机的两个显示区域显示的界面。面对用户的第二屏幕区域(即用户可以看到的屏幕区域)显示应用B,用户看不到的第一屏幕区域息屏(未息屏时显示应用A)。这样既保证该用户可以正常的使用手机,并且还可以节约手机的电量。在将图26中的b图或者c图所示手机折叠状态恢复到展平状态后,如图26中的d图所示的,手机的显示界面和图26中的a图所示显示界面相同,应用A显示在第一屏幕区域上,应用B显示在第二屏幕区域上,方便该用户同时使用两个应用,即进入到效率模式。

图28所示的为本申请实施例提供的一例折叠屏手机在沉浸模式下显示界面的示意图,该折叠屏手机为两折手机,将该手机绕着两个折叠区域处的转轴,分别朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相面对的方向折叠(内折方式)后形成折叠角度(即屏幕正面内折角为)、第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域相背对的方向折叠(外折方式)后形成折叠角度(即屏幕背面内折角为),折叠后的状态如图28中的a图或者b图所示的,将图28中的a图或者b图所示的折叠状态的手机放在桌面上(即折叠区域处的转轴和桌面平行),图28中的a图和b图分别是从不同的角度观看手机的三个显示区域显示的界面,假设只有一个用户在使用该手机,假如该用户面对第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域,第一屏幕区域显示应用A的b页面,第二屏幕区域显示应用A的a页面。用户看不到的第三屏幕区域息屏(未息屏时可以显示另外一个应用或者应用A的a页面),用户沉浸的使用应用A。这样既保证该用户可以正常的使用手机,并且节约手机的电量。
在图28所示的例子中,如果还有另外一个用户同时面对第三屏幕区域,则第三屏幕区域不会息屏,在这种情况下,该手机将切换为效率模式或者分享模式。
例如:如果第三屏幕区域显示的为应用A的a页面,即第三屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域显示的界面相同,并且,第三屏幕区域显示的应用A的a页面和第二屏幕区域显示的应用A的a页面方向相反,则该手机为分享模式,方便多个用户从不同的角度使用该折叠屏手机的同一个应用。
又例如:如果第三屏幕区域显示的为应用B,即第三屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域显示的界面不相同,并且,第三屏幕区域显示的应用B和第二屏幕区域显示的应用A的a页面方向相反,则该手机为效率模式,方便多个用户从不同的角度使用该折叠屏手机的不同应用。
图29所示的为本申请实施例提供的一例折叠屏手机在单人使用下的效率模式下显示界面的示意图,该折叠屏手机为两折手机,将该手机绕着两个折叠区域处的转轴,分别朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相面对的方向折叠(内折方式)后形成折叠角度(即屏幕正面内折角为)、第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域相背对的方向折叠(外折方式)后形成折叠角度(即屏幕背面内折角为),折叠后的状态如图29中的a图或者b图所示的,将图29中的a图或者b图所示的折叠状态的手机放在桌面上(即折叠区域处的转轴和桌面平行),图29中的a图和b图分别是从不同的角度观看手机的三个显示区域显示的界面,假设只有一个用户在使用该手机,假如该用户面对第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域,第一屏幕区域显示应用A,第二屏幕区域显示应用B。用户看不到的第三屏幕区域息屏,即为效率模式,从而方便一个用户同时使用多个应用。这样既保证该用户可以正常的使用手机,并且节约手机的电量。
在图29所示的例子中,如果还有另外一个用户同时面对第三屏幕区域,则第三屏幕区域不会息屏,在这种情况下:
如果第三屏幕区域显示的为应用B,即第三屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域显示的界面相同,并且,第三屏幕区域显示的应用B和第二屏幕区域显示的应用B方向相反,则该手机为分享模式,方便多个用户从不同的角度使用该折叠屏手机的同一个应用。
如果第三屏幕区域显示的为应用C,即第三屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域显示的界面不相同,并且,第三屏幕区域显示的应用C和第二屏幕区域显示的应用B方向相反,则该手机为双人使用下的效率模式,方便多个用户从不同的角度使用该折叠屏手机的不同应用。
图30所示的为本申请实施例提供的一例折叠屏手机在隐私模式下显示界面的示意图,该折叠屏手机为两折手机,将该手机绕着两个折叠区域处的转轴,分别朝着第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域相面对的方向折叠(内折方式)后形成折叠角度(即屏幕正面内折角为)、第二屏幕区域和第三屏幕区域相背对的方向折叠(外折方式)后形成折叠角度(即屏幕背面内折角为),折叠后的状态如图30中的a图或者b图所示的,将图30中的a图或者b图所示的折叠状态的手机放在桌面上(即折叠区域处的转轴和桌面平行),图30中的a图和b图分别是从不同的角度观看手机的三个显示区域显示的界面,假设:一个用户面对第二屏幕区域和第一屏幕区域,另一个用户面对第三屏幕区域。第三屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域均显示的为应用A的a页面,第一屏幕区域显示的为应用A的b页面(或者也可以显示应用B的页面)。第三屏幕区域显示的应用A的a页面和第二屏幕区域显示的应用A的a页面的方向相反。假设面对第二屏幕区域和第一屏幕区域的用户为主用户,则系统通知消息只显示在面对主用户的屏幕区域上,例如,如图30中的a图所示的,只显示第二屏幕区域上,面对次要用户的第三屏幕区域不显示系统通知消息。
面对第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域的主用户可以点击该“系统通知消息”,在主用户点击“系统通知消息”后,显示的界面的如图30中的c图或者d图所示的,该通知消息对应的应用可以以悬浮窗(或者小窗口的方式)显示在面对主用户的第二屏幕区域上,而面对次用户的第三屏幕区域保持原有的显示界面不变,不会显示该通知消息对应的应用。即系统通知消息不会分享到面对次要用户的屏幕区域上,这样可以更好的保护主用户的隐私,提高用户体验。
可选的,在本申请实施例中,作为一种可能的实现方式,可以通过控制共享模式下合成显示区域显示界面的方式来设置隐私模式,例如,在图30所示的例子中,在手机根据第二屏幕区域合成第三屏幕区域显示的界面时,如果第二屏幕区域显示的界面中存在系统通知消息、应用图层输入通知消息、悬浮窗、悬浮球等非第二屏幕区域显示的主应用时,在该手机合成第三屏幕显示的界面时,这些非第二屏幕区域显示的主应用的页面将不会参与合成第三屏幕区域显示的界面中,即第三屏幕区域只会显示第二屏幕区域显示的主应用的页面。
可选的,在本申请实施例中,作为另一种可能的实现方式,可以通过提前设置不同屏幕的属性来设置隐私模式,或者,还可以根据手机的折叠状态来设置不同屏幕的属性来设置隐私模式。
例如,可以提前设置某一个屏幕区域为隐私区域,设置另一个显示区域为共享区域。或者,在手机如图31中的a图和b图所示的折叠状态和摆放方式时(和图30所示的折叠状态和摆放方式相同),图31中的a图和b图分别是从不同的角度观看手机的三个显示区域显示的界面。可以将第一屏幕区域设置为共享区域,第二屏幕区域设置为隐私区域。隐私区域显示的界面不会分享给其他用户,只有共享区域显示的界面 才会分享给其他用户。在这种情况下,可以通过设置,使得系统通知消息、应用图层输入通知消息、悬浮窗、悬浮球等通知消息只显示在隐私区域(第二屏幕区域),而不显示在共享区域(第一屏幕区域)。例如,在图31所示的例子中,在共享模式下,手机只能根据共享区域(第一屏幕区域)合成第三屏幕区域显示的界面,即第三屏幕区域和第一屏幕区域显示的界面是相同的(例如均显示应用B),并且是同步的,而第二屏幕区域显示的界面不会被共享给其他用户。
在一些实施例中,对于本申请实施例提供的分享模式、效率模式,沉浸模式以及隐私模式,可以通过在手机的设置菜单中进行设置从而进入相应的模式,或者,也可以在手机的显示屏上设置不同模式对应的控件,用户可以通过点击相应的控件进入相应的模式。
例如,图32所示的为一例用户选择不同模式时手机显示的界面示意图,如图32中的a图所示的,手机的显示界面上显示的为应用A,用户可以在显示界面底部执行上滑操作,显示的界面变为图32中的b图所示的,显示分享模式、效率模式,沉浸模式以及隐私模式各自对应的图标,用户可以根据自己的需要,点击任意一个图标,则手机进入相应的模式。在用户使用手机的过程中,可以随时根据需要改变当前的模式。例如,用户可以通过在显示界面底部上滑等操作,在用户执行操作后,手机便可以显示不同模式各自对应的图标供用户选择。
或者,作为另一种可能的实现方式,手机可以根据手机中的传感器(例如包括重力传感器、陀螺仪、角度传感器、折叠传感器等)检测的数据,确定手机的摆放方式、折叠方式、折叠角度等。手机中的处理器还可以确定出手机当前在前台运行的应用的个数,根据手机的摆放方式、折叠方式、折叠角度、当前在前台运行的应用的个数等,自动进入某个模式,即可以预设手机的摆放方式、折叠方式、折叠角度、当前在前台运行的应用的个数等于使用模式的对应关系。
例如:对于一折手机,如果手机的折叠方式为外折方式、折叠角度大于零度、小于或者等于180度,并且前台只有一个应用在运行,例如:手机为图14中的d图、或者e图和f图所示的摆放方式,则自动进入分享模式或者沉浸模式。
又例如:对于一折手机,如果手机的折叠方式为外折方式、折叠角度大于零度、小于或者等于180度,并且前台只有一个应用在运行,例如:手机为图14中的e图或者f图所示的摆放方式,并且在一个屏幕区域上显示有系统通知消息、应用图层输入通知消息、悬浮窗、悬浮球等界面,则自动进入隐私模式。
又例如:对于一折手机,如果手机的折叠方式为外折方式,折叠角度大于零度、小于或者等于180度,并且有两个应用在前台同时运行,例如:手机为图17中的d图、或者图18中的c图或者d图所示的摆放方式,则自动进入效率模式。
又例如:对于一折手机,如果手机的折叠方式为内折方式、折叠角度大于零度、小于180度,例如:手机为图22中的a图或者图25所示的摆放方式,则自动进入效率模式或者沉浸模式。
下面将结合具体的例子说明本申请实施例提供的折叠屏电子设备显示以及控制方法。
图33所示的为本申请实施例提供的一例折叠屏手机在分享模式下显示界面的示 意图。如图33中的a图所示的为展平手机后的示意图,手机显示屏上显示视频应用。手机中的传感器会检测屏幕的折叠角度和摆放方式。将图33中的a图所示展平状态的手机,绕着折叠区域处的转轴以外折方式折叠后形成折叠角度(即屏幕背面内折角为),折叠后的状态如图33中的b图和c图的。将图33中的b图或者c图的所示的折叠状态的手机放在桌面上(即折叠区域处的转轴和桌面平行)。手机中的传感器(例如角度传感器、折叠传感器等)检测到屏幕背面内折角大于零或者大于预设的阈值,则手机可以自动进入分享模式,可选的,大于零或者大于预设的阈值的时间长度大于或者等于预设的时间长度(例如1s)。手机中的屏幕管理模块可以将屏幕绕着折叠区域分为第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域,手机中的传感器(例如重力传感器等)可以判断手机当前的折叠方式(外折方式)、摆放方式等,从而确定将屏幕上显示的应用根据摆放方式横屏或者竖屏显示在第一屏幕区域上。例如,手机当前的摆放方式如图33中的b图和c图所示的,在这种情况下,可以确定将屏幕上显示的视频应用横屏显示在第一屏幕区域上,在第一屏幕区域上处理用户对屏幕的各种操作。
如图33中的b图所示的,第一屏幕区域显示的界面(视频应用)和图33中的a图所示的展平状态手机显示的界面相同。第二屏幕区域显示界面时,会将第一屏幕区域显示的界面复制到第二屏幕区域中进行显示。并且,手机根据当前的摆放方式,可以确定第二屏幕区域显示的界面的方向,例如,如图33中的b图和c图所示的摆放方式(折叠区域处的转轴和桌面平行,屏幕背面内折角大于零度、小于180度),可选的,大于零或者大于预设的阈值的时间长度还需要大于或者等于预设的时间长度(例如1s)。在第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域上分别显示有视频应用。并且,第一屏幕区域中显示的视频应用的方向和第二屏幕区域上显示的视频应用的方向相反。便于两个用户分别从不同方向观看。例如一个用户面对第一屏幕区域,另一个用户面对第二屏幕区域。
在一种可能的实现方式中,面对第一屏幕区域的用户和面对第二屏幕区域的用户均可以对屏幕上的应用进行操作,且两个屏幕区域的显示内容会进行同步。例如:面对第一屏幕区域的用户对第一屏幕区域上的视频应用进行操作(例如:点击、触摸、滑动等)后,第一屏幕区域上的视频应用会响应用户的操作而改变显示界面等,第一屏幕区域上显示的界面变化后,第二屏幕区域显示的界面也会相应变化,即保持和第一屏幕区域显示的状态同步(显示界面相同)。面对第二屏幕区域的用户对第二屏幕区域上的视频应用进行操作(例如:点击、触摸、滑动等)后,通过第二屏幕区域和第一屏幕区域的映射关系,可以将用户的操作传递至第一屏幕区域上,第一屏幕区域上的视频应用会响应用户的操作而改变显示界面等,第一屏幕区域上显示的界面变化后,第二屏幕区域显示的界面也会相应变化,即保持和第一屏幕区域显示的状态同步。换句话说,对于屏幕的主控制权在第一屏幕区域上(即主用户面对的屏幕区域),第一屏幕区域可以处理用户在第二屏幕区域上进行操作。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,只有主用户面对的屏幕区域(例如第一屏幕区域)可以响应用户操作,面对被分享的屏幕(例如第二屏幕区域)无法对视频应用进行操作。主用户在对第一屏幕区域进行操作后,使得第一屏幕区域上显示的界面变化后,第二屏幕区域显示的界面也会相应变化。
图34所示的为本申请实施例提供的一例折叠屏手机在效率模式下显示界面的示意图。如图34中的a图所示的为展平手机后的示意图,在手机显示界面上显示有相册应用和画板应用,并且,两个应用显示在折叠区域的不同方位,即两个应用的显示分别显示在折叠区域的两侧。手机中的传感器(例如角度传感器)会检测屏幕的折叠角度和摆放方式。当用户将手机绕着折叠区域处的转轴,以内折方式折叠后形成折叠角度(即屏幕正面内折角为),例如图34中的b图所示的折叠状态。将图34中的b图的所示的折叠状态的手机放在桌面上(即折叠区域处的转轴和桌面平行),手机中的传感器(例如角度传感器、折叠传感器等)检测到屏幕内折角大于零或者大于预设的阈值,手机可以自动进入效率模式。可选的,手机自动进入效率模式还需要满足:大于零或者大于预设的阈值的时间长度大于或者等于预设的时间长度(例如1s)。手机中的屏幕管理模块可以将屏幕绕着折叠区域分为第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域,手机中的传感器(例如重力传感器、角度传感器、折叠传感器等)可以判断手机当前的折叠方式和摆放方式,从而确定将屏幕上显示的相册应用和画板应用根据摆放方式横屏或者竖屏分别显示在第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域上。例如,手机当前的摆放方式如图34中的b图所示的,用户面对第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域,在这种情况下,可以确定将屏幕上显示的相册应用和画板应用分别横屏显示在第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域上。并且,第一屏幕区域中显示的相册应用的方向和第二屏幕区域上显示的画板应用的方向相同,便于该用户同时使用不同的应用。
用户对于第一屏幕上的相册应用和第二屏幕上的画板应用的操作互不影响,即第一屏幕区域可以处理用户在第一屏幕区域上进行的操作,第二屏幕区域可以处理用户在第二屏幕区域上进行的操作。
可选的,如果用户将手机绕着折叠区域处的转轴,以外折方式折叠后形成折叠角度(即屏幕背面内折角为),然后将折叠后的手机放在桌面上,例如其折叠方式和摆放方式为图18中的c图或者d图所示的,在这种情况下,如果一个用户(第一用户)面对第一屏幕区域,另一个用户(第二用户)面对第二屏幕区域,第一用户对于第一屏幕上的应用(例如为相册应用)和第二用户对第二屏幕上的应用(例如为画板应用)的操作也是互不影响,即第一屏幕区域可以处理第一用户在第一屏幕区域上进行的操作,第二屏幕区域可以处理第二用户在第二屏幕区域上进行的操作。
可选的,用户还可以通过简单操作将在任意一个显示区域内的应用替换为其他后台正在运行的应用。并且,任意一个显示区域内的应用被用户关闭或者退出后,该显示区域可以显示与用户关闭或者退出的应用相关联的推荐应用列表(或者,也可以显示手机在后台运行的应用程序的列表)。具体过程可以参考图22至图24对应的描述,为了简洁,这里不再赘述。
图35所示的为本申请实施例提供的一例折叠屏手机在沉浸模式下显示界面的示意图。如图35中的a图所示的为展平手机的示意图,用户当前只在前台运行应用A,并且在整个显示界面显示的为应用A的a页面。手机中的传感器(例如角度传感器)会检测屏幕的折叠角度和摆放方式。当用户将手机绕着折叠区域处的转轴,以内折方式折叠后形成折叠角度(即屏幕正面内折角为),例如图35中的b图所示的折叠状态。将图35中的b图的所示的折叠状态的手机放在桌面上(即折叠区域处的转轴和 桌面平行),手机中的传感器(例如角度传感器、折叠传感器等)检测到屏幕内折角大于零或者大于预设的阈值,手机可以自动进入沉浸模式。可选的,手机自动进入沉浸模式还需要满足:大于零或者大于预设的阈值的时间长度大于或者等于预设的时间长度(例如1s)。手机中的屏幕管理模块可以将屏幕绕着折叠区域分为第一屏幕区域和第二屏幕区域,手机中的传感器(例如重力传感器等)可以判断手机当前的摆放方式,从而确定将屏幕上显示应用A的a页面显示在第一屏幕区域上。
如图35中的b图所示的,当用户单击第一屏幕区域上的控件打开新的页面时(例如为应用A的b页面),应用A的b页面将显示在第二屏幕区域上。并且,第一屏幕区域中显示的方向和第二屏幕区域上显示的方向相同,便于该用户沉浸的使用同一个应用。
用户分别对于第一屏幕上的应用A的a页面和第二屏幕上的应用A的a页面的操作互不影响,即第一屏幕区域可以处理用户在第一屏幕区域上进行的操作,第二屏幕区域可以处理用户在第二屏幕区域上进行的操作。
本申请提供的折叠屏电子设备显示以及控制方法,折叠屏电子设备可以根据传感器检测的数据(例如角度传感器、重力传感器、折叠传感器、陀螺仪等),确定折叠屏电子设备的折叠方式和摆放方式,从根据折叠屏电子设备的折叠方式和摆放方式,调整各个屏幕区域显示的内容和方向,满足多用户同时对折叠屏电子设备使用和控制的需求,简化用户操作,提高用户体验。
