Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

In the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "e.g.," an embodiment of the present invention is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may be a Mobile phone, a tablet Computer, a notebook Computer, an Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), a netbook, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), or the like.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display method, where an execution subject of the method is an electronic device having a screen whose length or width is extendable or retractable, and the method includes the following specific steps:

step 101: displaying a first target content in a screen;

in the embodiment of the present invention, displaying the first target content in the screen refers to a scene in which the user is using the electronic device, and the first target content may be a video, a picture, a game operation interface, or the like.

Step 102: under the condition that second target content to be displayed is obtained, the screen is controlled to stretch out, and the first target content and the second target content are displayed in the stretched screen;

in the embodiment of the invention, the second target content can be a short message, a notification reminder and the like, and when the second target content to be displayed is received, the screen is controlled to stretch out, so that the display size of the screen is increased.

Specifically, the first target content is displayed in a first display area in the extended screen, and the second target content is displayed in a second display area in the extended screen. The display size of the first display area is the same as that of the first target content, and the second display area is a display area of the stretched screen except the first display area. Therefore, in the stretched screen, the first target content and the second target content are displayed simultaneously in a split screen mode, mutual shielding between the first target content and the second target content is avoided, and the display size of the first display area is the same as that of the first target content, so that the display effect of the first target content can be ensured not to be influenced.

Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display method, where an execution subject of the method is an electronic device having a screen whose length or width is extendable or retractable, and the method includes the following specific steps:

step 201: displaying a first target content in a screen;

step 202: receiving prompt information;

in the embodiment of the present invention, the prompt message is used to prompt that the unread second target content exists. In the practical application process, the prompt message can be a smaller icon displayed at the edge or corner of the screen, so that the first target content can be prevented from being excessively shielded, and when a user sees the icon appearing in the screen, the user can know that the unread second target content exists; the prompt message may also be a prompt tone, and when the user hears the prompt tone, the user can know that the unread second target content exists. The embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific form of the prompt message.

Step 203: receiving a touch input acting on a lighted area of a screen;

in the embodiment of the invention, the lighted area of the screen refers to the area in use by the screen, and for the retractable screen, the stretched part is the lighted area, and the non-stretched part is the non-lighted area. If the user wants to view the second target content, touch input is performed in the lighted area of the screen, and the touch input may be double click, single finger long press, three finger sliding, and the like.

Step 204: displaying first target content in a third display area in the stretched screen and displaying second target content in a fourth display area in the stretched screen according to position information of touch input in a lighted area of the screen and the stretching direction of the screen;

in the embodiment of the present invention, the position information of the touch input is used to indicate an action position of the touch input in the lighted area of the screen, and the position information may be coordinates of the action position of the touch input.

The position relation between the third display area and the fourth display area is determined by combining the position information of touch input and the extending direction of the screen, so that a user can determine the display position of the second target content according to the requirement of the user, and the electronic equipment is more flexible to use.

For the case that the extending direction of the screen is the length direction, the position relationship between the third display area and the fourth display area is vertical arrangement, and specifically, the third display area is on top, the fourth display area is on bottom, or the third display area is on bottom and the fourth display area is on top, the action position of the touch input in the lighted area of the screen is determined, for example: determining that the touch input acts on the upper half part of the lighted area of the screen according to the position information, and then determining that the third display area is on the lower part and the fourth display area is on the upper part; and determining that the touch input acts on the lower half part of the lighted area of the screen according to the position information, and then determining that the third display area is above and the fourth display area is below.

For the case that the extending direction of the screen is the width direction, the position relationship between the third display area and the fourth display area is the horizontal arrangement, and specifically, the third display area is on the left, the fourth display area is on the right, or the third display area is on the right, and the fourth display area is on the left, the action position of the touch input in the lighted area of the screen is determined, for example: determining that the touch input acts on the left half part of the lighted area of the screen according to the position information, and then determining that the third display area is on the right and the fourth display area is on the left; and determining that the touch input acts on the right half part of the lighted area of the screen according to the position information, and then determining that the third display area is on the left and the fourth display area is on the right.

In the embodiment of the invention, the position relation between the third display area and the fourth display area is determined by combining the position information of the touch input and the extending direction of the screen, so that a user can flexibly select the first target content and the display position of the first target content, the use flexibility of the electronic equipment is increased, and the use experience is improved.

Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display method, where an execution subject of the method is an electronic device having a screen whose length or width is extendable or retractable, and the method includes the following specific steps:

step 301: displaying a first target content in a screen;

step 302: controlling the screen to extend or retract in a case where an input of switching the first target content to the third target content is received, and displaying the third target content in the extended or retracted screen;

in the embodiment of the present invention, the input of switching the first target content to the third target content means that the user needs to switch the content displayed in the screen, for example: view another picture, play another video, switch another application, etc.

The display size of the third target content is different from the display size of the first target content, and if the third target content is displayed while the screen display size is kept unchanged, the display effect of the third target content is deteriorated, for example: if the display size of the third target content is larger than that of the first target content, only part of the third target content can be displayed in the screen; if the display size of the third target content is smaller than that of the first target content, when the third target content is displayed on the screen, the unfilled area in the screen needs to be filled with black borders, which results in poor appearance.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine a distance that the screen needs to be extended or retracted according to the display size of the first target content and the display size of the third target content, control the screen to be extended or retracted, and then display the third target content in the extended or retracted screen.

Referring to fig. 4a, in order to determine the distance that the screen needs to be extended or retracted according to the display size of the first target content and the display size of the third target content, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device 40, including: a housing 41 and a screen 42;

the housing 41 is provided with an opening 411, a first end of the screen 42 is arranged in the housing 41, and a second end of the screen 42 can extend or retract along the opening 411;

fig. 4a shows a structure of a driving screen 42, wherein the screen 42 is a flexible screen, a rotating shaft 412 and a motor 413 are arranged in the housing 41, and the rotating shaft 412 is in driving connection with the motor 413; a first end of the screen 42 is wound around the rotating shaft 412, and the motor 413 drives the rotating shaft 412 to rotate, so as to drive a second end of the screen 42 to extend or retract along the opening 11.

It should be noted that, the structure using the motor, the rotating shaft and the flexible screen is considered from the perspective of saving the internal space of the electronic device, and for the electronic device with a large volume, the internal space is sufficient, so that the flexible screen is not needed, and the extendable or retractable screen can be directly realized through the lifting screen.

With continued reference to fig. 4a, the electronic device 40 further includes an optical signal emitter 43 and an optical signal receiver 44 disposed in the opening 411, a plurality of light-transmitting areas 421 are disposed on the screen 42 along the extending and retracting direction, and during the extending or retracting process of the screen 42, the optical signal emitted by the optical signal emitter 43 can pass through the light-transmitting areas 421 to be received and counted by the optical signal receiver 44.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the motor 413 is controlled to drive the rotating shaft 412 to rotate, so as to drive the screen 42 to move, and the screen 42 can extend or retract along the opening 411 of the housing 41 according to the different rotating directions of the motor 413 driving the rotating shaft 412. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 412 when the screen 42 is extended is referred to as "forward rotation", and the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 412 when the screen 42 is retracted is referred to as "reverse rotation".

The motor 413 may be a stepping motor, an output shaft of the motor 413 is in driving connection with one end of the rotating shaft 412, and the screen 42 is extended or retracted by controlling the motor to rotate forward or backward.

The plurality of light-transmitting areas 421 are equally spaced in the expansion and contraction direction of the screen 42, and the distance of extension or retraction of the screen 42 is determined according to the distance between the counting result of the optical signal receiver 44 and the adjacent light-transmitting area 421.

The plurality of light-transmitting areas 421 may be distributed on one side of the screen 42, so that the light-transmitting areas 421 may be prevented from affecting the normal display of the screen 42. The light transmission areas 421 are arranged at equal intervals, and when the telescopic distance of the screen 42 is calculated according to the counting result of the optical signal receiver 44, the counting result is multiplied by the spacing distance between the adjacent light transmission areas 421, and the product is the telescopic distance of the screen 42.

The spacing distance between adjacent light transmissive regions 421 determines the minimum adjustable unit of the expansion and contraction distance of screen 42, and in some embodiments, is 0.5 cm. It is understood that, a person skilled in the art can set the spacing distance according to actual product requirements, and the specific length of the spacing distance is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

The type of the optical signal can be selected from various options, such as: optical signals, ultraviolet light, laser light, and the like, and the type of the optical signals is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, the light transmissive region 421 is a through hole or a lens. It should be noted that, when the light-transmitting regions 421 are provided, the size of the light-transmitting regions 421 should be smaller than the spacing distance between adjacent light-transmitting regions 421, so as to avoid a large calculation error when determining the telescopic distance of the screen 42 according to the counting result.

Fig. 4a shows that the shape of the light-transmitting area 421 is circular, and in some embodiments, the light-transmitting area 421 is a circular through hole or lens with a diameter of 0.1 cm. It is understood that, a person skilled in the art can set the shape and size of the light-transmitting area 421 according to actual product requirements, and the shape and size of the light-transmitting area 421 are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

The optical signal emitter 43 and the optical signal receiver 44 are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the screen 42, and fig. 4a shows a scene in which the optical signal emitter 43 is disposed toward the front of the screen 42, and the optical signal emitter 43 may also be disposed toward the back of the screen 42.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the optical signal transmitter 43 continuously transmits the optical signal to the screen 42, and as the screen 42 is extended or retracted, when the interval between the light-transmitting areas 421 is located at the irradiation position of the optical signal, the optical signal will be shielded by the screen 42, and no pulse signal will be generated on the optical signal receiver 44; when the light-transmitting area 421 is located at the irradiation position of the optical signal, the optical signal will be received by the optical signal receiver 44 through the light-transmitting area 421 and a pulse signal will be generated, and counting is performed according to the pulse signal, for example: when the screen 42 is extended, every time a pulse signal is generated, the counting result is increased by one; every time the screen 42 is retracted, the count result is decremented by one (since the retraction of the screen 42 is established on the premise that the screen 42 is extended, the count is decremented by one also on the basis of the count result after the previous screen 42 was extended); accordingly, when determining the distance of the screen extension, the calculation is carried out by counting the number of the increase of the counting result and the interval between the adjacent light transmission areas; in determining the distance by which the screen is retracted, the distance is calculated by the number of decreases in the count result and the interval between adjacent light-transmitting areas.

In the embodiment of the invention, the motor drives the rotating shaft to drive the screen to extend out or retract along the opening of the shell of the electronic equipment; at the flexible in-process of screen, count through light signal transmitter, light signal receiver and the light transmission region on the screen, confirm whether the flexible distance of screen reaches the target distance according to the count result, realize electronic equipment intelligent regulation screen size, improve user and use experience.

Further, referring to fig. 4b, the electronic device 40 further includes: a magnetic member 45 and a hall sensor 46; a magnetic member 45 is disposed at a second end of the screen 42; the hall sensor 46 is disposed in the opening 411; in the case where the hall sensor 46 detects the magnetic member 45, the optical signal receiver 44 clears the count result, and the motor 413 stops driving the rotating shaft 412.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic member 45 is provided on the second end of the screen 42, i.e., the free end of the screen 42 that extends and contracts, and the hall sensor 46 is provided in the opening 411 of the housing 41 accordingly. Thus, when the second end of the screen 42 is retracted into the opening 411 of the housing 41, the hall sensor 46 can detect the magnetic member, thereby allowing the electronic device 40 to determine that the screen 42 has been fully retracted into the housing 41 at this time. When the hall sensor 46 detects the magnetic member 45, the light signal receiver 44 is indicated to count and clear, so that the subsequent screen 42 can be counted again when needing to be extended; meanwhile, the state when the screen 42 is completely retracted into the housing 41 is taken as an initial state by counting and clearing, so that the overall control and adjustment of the electronic device 40 are facilitated, and the occurrence of calculation errors due to excessive counting results after the screen 42 is stretched and contracted for multiple times is avoided.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4b, the hall sensor 46 and the optical signal transmitter 43 and the optical signal receiver 44 are respectively located at two sides of the screen 42 at the position where the opening 411 is located, and accordingly, the magnetic member 45 and the light-transmitting area 421 are also located at two sides of the screen 42. In this way, the magnetic member 45 and the hall sensor 46 can be prevented from affecting the normal operation of the optical signal transmitter 43 and the optical signal receiver 44.

Referring to fig. 4c, an embodiment of the present invention provides another display method, where an execution main body of the method is the electronic device shown in fig. 4b, and the method includes the following specific steps:

step 401: displaying a first target content in a screen;

step 402: determining a target distance by which the screen is extended or retracted in a case where an input of switching the first target content to the third target content is received;

in the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment firstly determines the target distance of the screen required to be extended or retracted, and the target distance is determined according to the display size of the first target content and the display size of the third target content. Taking the stretching direction of the screen as the length direction, the display size being the aspect ratio as an example, the aspect ratio corresponding to the first target content is 4:3, and the aspect ratio corresponding to the third target content is 16:9, then the electronic device needs to control the screen to stretch. Specifically, the electronic device calculates a length value required by the third target content according to the width value of the screen and the aspect ratio of the third target content; and calculating a difference value according to the length value and the length value of the lighted area of the screen, wherein the difference value is the target distance.

Step 403: controlling a motor to drive a rotating shaft to drive a screen to extend or retract, and then executing step 404 or step 405;

when the motor drives the rotating shaft to drive the screen to extend, executing step 404; when the motor drives the shaft to retract the screen, step 405 is performed. And controlling the light signal emitter to emit light signals to the screen during the process of extending or retracting the screen.

Step 404: each time the optical signal receiver receives the optical signal transmitted from the light-transmitting area, the optical signal receiver is controlled to increase the counting result by one, and then step 406 is executed;

step 405: every time the optical signal receiver receives the optical signal transmitted from the light-transmitting area, the optical signal receiver is controlled to decrement the counting result by one, and then step 407 is executed;

step 406: determining the extending distance of the screen according to the counting result increase number and the spacing distance of the adjacent light transmission areas, and then executing step 408;

step 407: determining the retraction distance of the screen according to the count result reduction number and the spacing distance of the adjacent light transmission regions, and then executing step 409;

step 408: judging whether the screen extending distance reaches the target distance, if so, executing step 413, otherwise, executing step 410;

step 409: judging whether the retraction distance of the screen reaches the target distance, if so, executing a step 413, otherwise, executing a step 411;

in the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment firstly judges whether the telescopic distance of the screen reaches the target distance during counting each time. If the motor is not reached, a subsequent judgment process is needed.

Step 410: judging whether the extending distance of the screen reaches the maximum extending distance, if so, executing a step 413, otherwise, returning to the step 404;

in practical applications, when the electronic device determines the target distance of the screen stretching, errors may occur, such as: the maximum extending distance of the screen is 20 cm, and the electronic device determines that the extending target distance is 25 cm due to calculation errors or other reasons, which will cause the electronic device to still instruct the motor to continue to drive the rotating shaft to rotate when the screen extends 20 cm, and further cause the device to operate incorrectly, even cause damage.

In the embodiment of the invention, in the process of extending the screen, the electronic device judges whether the distance extending the screen reaches the maximum extending distance every time the counting result is added, if the distance extending the screen reaches the maximum extending distance, the electronic device needs to instruct the motor to stop running no matter whether the target distance determined in the step 402 is finished, so that the running error of the device caused by the error in determining the target distance is avoided.

Step 411: judging whether the Hall sensor detects the magnetic piece, if so, executing a step 412, otherwise, returning to the step 405;

in practical applications, when the electronic device determines the target distance of the screen retraction, errors may occur, such as: the extended distance of the screen is 15 cm, and the electronic device determines that the retracted target distance is 25 cm due to calculation errors or other reasons, which will cause the electronic device to still instruct the motor to continue to drive the rotating shaft to rotate when the screen retracts by 15 cm, and further cause the device to operate incorrectly or even cause damage.

In the embodiment of the invention, in the process of retracting the screen, each time the counting result is reduced by one, the electronic device judges whether the hall sensor detects the magnetic piece, if the magnetic piece is detected, the screen is completely retracted, and no matter whether the target distance determined in the step 402 is finished, the electronic device needs to instruct the motor to stop running, so that the running error of the device caused by the error determination of the target distance is avoided.

Step 412: controlling an optical signal receiver to zero the counting result;

in the embodiment of the invention, after the screen is determined to be completely retracted, the counting result is cleared, and the state of the screen when the screen is completely retracted into the shell is taken as an initial state through counting clearing, so that the overall control and adjustment of the electronic equipment are facilitated, and the counting error caused by excessive counting results after the screen is stretched for multiple times is avoided.

Step 413: controlling the motor to stop driving the rotating shaft;

in the embodiment of the invention, the motor drives the rotating shaft to drive the screen to extend out or retract along the opening of the shell of the electronic equipment; the light transmission area on the screen is counted through the detection assembly, whether the telescopic distance of the screen reaches the target distance or not is determined according to the counting result, the intelligent screen size adjustment of the electronic equipment is achieved, and the user use experience is improved.

In addition, in the screen stretching process, the maximum stretching distance is used as a stretching stopping condition, the Hall sensor is arranged to detect the magnetic part to be used as a retracting stopping condition, and the electronic equipment is prevented from operating mistakenly due to the fact that the screen stretching target distance is determined mistakenly.

Referring to fig. 5a, in the prior art, when a user uses an electronic device to watch a video or play a game, if the electronic device receives a short message or needs to be reminded of a system message, the electronic device generally displays the message in the form of a floating window or a prompt bar, and at this time, the message display interface partially blocks an interface which the user is operating, so that the user experience is poor.

By adopting the method of the embodiment of the invention, when a message needs to be displayed, as shown in fig. 5a, the electronic device can determine the target distance of the screen stretching according to the content of the message to be displayed, then control the stretching of the screen, and display the reminding message in the newly stretched screen area.

Referring to fig. 5b and 5c, in the prior art, the video scale format from different video sources is not necessarily the same as the current display scale of the display screen of the electronic device. As shown in fig. 5b, the format of the ratio of the video to be displayed is 4:3, and the display ratio of the current display screen is 16:9, that is, the ratio of the video is not matched with the ratio of the display screen of the electronic device, at this time, when the display screen of the electronic device displays the video, black borders are automatically generated on two sides to fill up the area with the unmatched ratio, however, the processing method may cause the user experience to be low.

Referring to fig. 5c, a scene in which the video to be displayed shown in fig. 5b is displayed by using the method of the embodiment of the present invention is shown, and with the method of the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device can calculate the distance that the screen needs to be extended, so that the video to be displayed fills the whole screen to be displayed, and the viewing experience of the user is improved.
