The electronic equipment in the embodiment of the invention at least comprises a first screen and a second screen. For example, the electronic device may be a foldable electronic device, and a user may fold the electronic device to enable the foldable electronic device to have a plurality of display screens, for example, a flexible electronic device; it may also be a non-foldable electronic device, for example, a dual-screen electronic device having a front screen and a back screen, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The following describes a software environment applied to the method for controlling an electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention, by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system. Illustratively, the application layer may include an application corresponding to the second icon in the embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the application program corresponding to the second icon may be any application program or functional application installed in the electronic device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In general, an application may include two parts, one part is a service (service) running in the background of an electronic device for detecting a user input, for example, detecting a first input of the user, and the other part is content displayed on a screen of the electronic device, for example, displaying a second icon on the first screen in response to the first input.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the method for controlling an electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the method for controlling an electronic device may run based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. That is, the processor or the electronic device may implement the method for controlling the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

In order to improve the operability and user experience of the electronic device, the electronic device has a trend of displaying on a large screen, wherein a multi-screen electronic device can meet the trend and has strong operability. However, when a user uses the multi-screen electronic device to view contents of different display screens, the user needs to view the contents in a mode of turning the screens, which is inconvenient. For example, taking a dual-screen electronic device (including a front screen and a back screen) with two screens arranged opposite to each other as an example, when the front screen faces the user and the content that the user needs to view is in the back screen, the user needs to turn over the electronic device so that the back screen faces the user himself to be able to view the display content in the back screen. Obviously, the viewing mode increases the difficulty of viewing the display content of the electronic equipment by the user, so that the user is inconvenient to rapidly view different screen display contents, and the working efficiency is reduced.

In order to solve the above-described problems, in an embodiment of the present invention, in a case where an electronic apparatus includes a first screen and a second screen, and the first screen displays a first icon, after the electronic device receives a first input of the first icon from the user, the electronic device may display N second icons (i.e., icons in the second screen) in the first screen, so that after the electronic device receives a second input from the user to a target icon of the N second icons, the application program corresponding to the target icon is operated in the first screen, so that the user can directly operate the application program corresponding to the icon in the other screen through the self-defined icon in the first screen of the electronic equipment without turning the screen, the application programs corresponding to the icons in the display screens except the display screen facing the user can be operated in time, and the working efficiency and the human-computer interaction performance are improved.

The shooting method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to multi-screen electronic equipment, and a user can check the scenes of icons in different display screens.

For a scene that a user views icons in different display screens, it is assumed that the electronic device is a dual-screen electronic device and includes a first screen and a second screen, wherein the first screen is a display screen facing the user, and the second screen displays backwards relative to the first screen. Under the condition that the first screen contains the user-defined icon 1 and the second screen contains the icon 2 of the application program 1 and the icon 3 of the application program 2, if a user needs to check or operate the application program corresponding to the icon in the second screen, the screen needs to be turned over or switched, and then corresponding operation can be executed. In the embodiment of the invention, a user can directly display the icon 2 and the icon 3 in the first screen by performing the first input on the custom icon 1, and at the moment, the user can operate the icon 2 or the icon 3 to run the application program corresponding to the icon, so that the operation steps are simplified, and the working efficiency is improved.

A method of controlling an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, a method for controlling an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to an electronic device including a first screen and a second screen, and includes the following steps 201 to 204:

step 201: the electronic equipment receives a first input to a first icon when the first icon is displayed on the first screen.

For example, the first input may be a first operation.

For example, the first input may be: the click input of the user on the first icon, or the voice instruction input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user may be determined according to the actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

For example, the first screen and the second screen may be display screens having different security levels. The security level of the first screen and the security level of the second screen can be preset for the electronic device or can be customized for a user.

In one example, the security levels may be distinguished by password complexity and password difficulty for unlocking the display screen. For example, if the first screen is not set with a password and the second screen is set with an 8-digit password, the security level of the first screen is lower than that of the second screen.

In another example, the security levels may be differentiated according to different privacy levels of the application programs corresponding to the icons displayed in the first screen and the second screen of the electronic device. For example, the privacy level may be proportional to the security level of the display screen, for example, the privacy level of the chat APP of the user privacy is higher than the general setting APP in the electronic device, the chat APP containing the user individual privacy is displayed in the second screen, the general setting APP is displayed in the first screen, and then the security level of the first screen is lower than the security level of the first screen.

Illustratively, the first icon is used to run N second icons.

In an example, the first icon may be a user-defined icon, that is, the first icon is an icon dedicated to running the N second icons.

For example, the user-defined icon may be content that is input or set by the user according to personal preference or actual needs, such as a picture uploaded by the user or text input by the user.

Further, the user-defined icon may further include a change of a color and a shape of a default display style of the icon, which may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

In another example, the first icon may also be an icon preset by the electronic device. For example, the preset icon may include a common application identifier, and the electronic device may provide a plurality of display styles for the user, for example, an icon of a "setting" APP, an icon of a "photo" APP, an icon of a "clock" APP, and the like.

Therefore, the first icon can be disguised in a common application program identification or user-defined identification mode, so that other users cannot visually find the actual effect of the first icon in the electronic equipment, the habit of the user for daily use of the electronic equipment is hidden, and the privacy of the user is protected.

Step 202: and responding to the first input, and displaying N second icons on the first screen by the electronic equipment.

And the N second icons are icons in the second screen, and N is a positive integer.

For example, the icons in the second screen may be: the electronic device downloads and has installed icons for applications in a second screen of the electronic device. In an example, the icons in the second screen may be icons directly displayed in the second screen, or may also be icons not directly displayed (i.e., hidden) in the second screen.

For example, the N second icons may be all icons in the second screen, or may be part of icons in the second screen, and may be set by a user in a customized manner.

For example, the electronic device includes a first screen and a second screen.

Example 1, the electronic device displays the N second icons on the first screen in a round-robin fashion in response to the first input.

For example, after the user presses the first icon for a long time, three icons, that is, the icon of APP4, the icon of APP5, and the icon of APP6 (i.e., the second icon described above) are displayed in turn at predetermined time intervals (e.g., 2s) on the first screen.

Example 2, the electronic device displays the N second icons in a grid arrangement on the first screen in response to the first input. Wherein, the grid arrangement form is as follows: and the electronic equipment displays the N second icons on the second screen in an arrangement mode in a target grid mode. Illustratively, the grid includes: four-grid, six-grid, nine-grid, etc. It should be noted that the listed grids are merely an example, and in practical applications, the grid can be selected according to practical situations.

In an example, the target grid may be a grid determined by the electronic device according to the number N of the second icons and the size of the display interface (for example, the grid whose number is closest to the number N, for example, if the number of the second icons is 5, the target grid may be a six grid), may also be a predetermined grid, or may also be a grid customized by the user, which is not limited in the present invention.

For example, as shown in fig. 3 (a), after the user performs a long press input on the icon of APP1 (i.e., the first input described above), as shown in fig. 3 (b), if the electronic device determines that the second icon includes three icons, that is, the icon of APP4, the icon of APP5, and the icon of APP6, the electronic device displays the icon of APP4, the icon of APP5, and the icon of APP6 on the first screen according to the four lattices.

Example 3, the electronic device displays the N second icons on the first screen in a ring in response to the first input.

For example, as shown in fig. 4 (a), after the user presses icon 1 (i.e., the above-described first icon) in the first screen for a long time, as shown in fig. 4 (b), the icon of APP4, the icon of APP5, and the icon of APP6 (i.e., the above-described second icon) are displayed in a ring-shaped arrangement around icon 1 on the first screen.

Step 203: and the electronic equipment receives a second input of a target icon in the N second icons.

Step 204: and responding to the second input, and the electronic equipment runs the application program corresponding to the target icon on the first screen.

For example, the description of the second input may refer to the first input, and is not repeated here.

For example, the electronic device running the application corresponding to the target icon means: and the electronic equipment starts the application program corresponding to the target icon, and presents the application program to a user in different display forms by combining the current application scene and the actual function of the application program corresponding to the target icon after the application program corresponding to the target icon is started. For example, after the electronic device starts the application program corresponding to the target icon, the application program interface corresponding to the target icon may be directly displayed, the application program corresponding to the target icon may be run in the background, and the status information (e.g., download progress) of the application program corresponding to the target icon may also be displayed.

In an example, the application interface corresponding to the target icon may be a main interface of the application program corresponding to the target icon, may also be a functional interface of any function of the application program corresponding to the target icon, and may also be another interface of the application program corresponding to the target icon, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, in conjunction with the above example 2, an application program corresponding to the target icon is to be opened by the user. Taking APP4 as "news" APP as an example, as shown in (a) in fig. 5, when the user wants to open an application program indicated by an icon of APP4 (i.e., the above "target icon"), after the user performs a click input on the icon of APP4 on the second interface (i.e., the above "second input"), a main interface of "news" APP is directly displayed on the first screen as shown in (b) in fig. 5.

Therefore, the user can directly open the application program in the second screen on the first screen without turning over the screen to view the display interface of the application program corresponding to the second icon, and the working efficiency is improved.

In an example, the state of the application program corresponding to the view target icon may include: the process of downloading the file by the application program, the running speed of the application program, the memory occupied by the application program and the like can be specifically displayed in combination with the actual function of the application program for the user to view. For example, the display content of the state of the application program corresponding to the target icon may be preset by the electronic device or may be customized by the user, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, in conjunction with the above example 2, an example is taken where the user wants to view the state of the application program corresponding to the target icon. The APP4 is an application program for downloading files, and when a user needs to check the file downloading progress in the APP4, the user can perform double-click input on the icon of the APP4 (i.e., "the second input"), and then the electronic device displays the progress information of downloading files in the form of a progress bar below the icon of the APP 4.

In the method for controlling the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the electronic device comprises the first screen and the second screen and the first screen displays the first icon, after the electronic device receives a first input of the first icon from the user, the electronic device may display N second icons (i.e., icons in the second screen) in the first screen, so that after the electronic device receives a second input from the user to a target icon of the N second icons, the application program corresponding to the target icon is operated in the first screen, so that the user can directly operate the application program corresponding to the icon in the other screen through the self-defined icon in the first screen of the electronic equipment without turning the screen, the application programs corresponding to the icons in the display screens except the display screen facing the user can be operated in time, and the working efficiency and the human-computer interaction performance are improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, for any icon (hereinafter, referred to as "third icon") in the display screen of the electronic device, the electronic device may set a display manner of the third icon in the electronic device, so as to change the display manner of the third icon. Illustratively, the display mode includes: directly displayed in the display screen, or hidden displayed in the display screen, or operated through the first icon to be displayed on the display screen, or displayed in a specific display screen.

For example, the application program corresponding to the third icon may further include: an application that has been downloaded to the electronic device but not installed, or an application that has been downloaded and installed in the electronic device, or a pre-downloaded application. The pre-downloaded application is an application that is not yet downloaded and is ready to be downloaded by the electronic device.

For example, the following steps are carried out:

example 3, when the application program corresponding to the third icon is an application program pre-downloaded by the user, the electronic device may query the user about a display mode of the application program when the user downloads the application program.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the user downloads APP2, the electronic device displays a screen setting option (e.g. 31 in fig. 6) on the current interface, asks the user whether "display on the first screen" or "display on the second screen" after downloading APP2, and when the user selects "display on the second screen", an icon of APP2 (i.e. the third icon) is displayed on the second screen, and the user views through the first icon.

Example 4, when the application program corresponding to the third icon is an application program that has been downloaded to the electronic device but is not installed, the electronic device may query the user for a display manner of the application program when the user downloads the application program.

In example 5, when the application program corresponding to the third icon is an application program that is downloaded by the user and is already installed in the electronic device, the electronic device may change a display manner of the application programs corresponding to the N second icons according to a setting of the user (for example, as shown in (a) of fig. 7).

For example, if the user needs to set the APP2 that has been installed on the electronic device and is displayed on the first screen to be viewed through the second icon, as shown in (a) in fig. 7, the user enters the "application management" APP and selects the "screen selection" option, as shown in (b) in fig. 7, the user may click on the name of the APP2 (32 in (b) in fig. 7) to switch the display interface of the APP2, so that the icon of the APP2 (i.e., the third icon described above) is set to be displayed in the second screen, and the user can view the icon of the APP2 by making the first input to the first icon.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may add an operation password when the user operates the first icon by using the biometric information.

In one possible implementation, the biometric information may be fingerprint information.

For example, the first input is an input of the first icon by a user, the fingerprint identification area of the first screen includes a display area of the first icon, and the step 202 may further include the following step B1:

step B1: and responding to the first input, and displaying N second icons on the first screen by the electronic equipment under the condition that the fingerprint information acquired by the electronic equipment is matched with preset fingerprint information.

For example, the user input to the first icon may be a direct contact input to the first icon, such as a pressing input; the first icon may also be input by a user in a non-direct contact manner, for example, a non-contact fingerprint recognition input or a floating fingerprint recognition input, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the fingerprint identification area may be a whole display area of the first screen and the second screen, or may be a partial display area of the first screen and the second screen, for example, a display area where the first icon is located. The fingerprint identification area can be preset for the electronic equipment and can also be set by a user in a self-defined mode.

For example, the preset fingerprint information may be fingerprint information pre-stored by the user. In an example, the preset fingerprint information is fingerprint information that is specifically set by the user for the first icon, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the matching between the fingerprint information collected by the electronic device and the preset fingerprint information refers to: the fingerprint information collected by the electronic equipment is the same as the preset fingerprint information or the similarity between the fingerprint information collected by the electronic equipment and the preset fingerprint information is larger than a first preset threshold value. It should be noted that the first predetermined threshold may be user-defined or preset by the electronic device. For example, in combination with example 2, the electronic device displays N second icons in the first screen through the first icon in the first screen as an example. After the user performs long-time pressing input (i.e., "press input" above) on the icon of APP1 (i.e., "first icon"), the electronic device collects fingerprint information of the user, recognizes that the similarity between the fingerprint information and preset fingerprint information reaches 90% (i.e., "first predetermined threshold") and displays the second interface, and displays the icon of APP4, the icon of APP5 and the icon of APP6 on the second interface.

In another possible implementation, the biometric information may be facial information.

For example, the first input may also be a facial recognition input, and the following step B2 may also be included in the step 202:

step B2: and responding to the first input, and displaying N second icons on the first screen by the electronic equipment under the condition that the face information collected by the electronic equipment is matched with preset face information.

Illustratively, the first input may be used to trigger the electronic device to start the shooting system.

For example, the preset face information may include matching feature points on the face image, for example, matching feature points of the face external contour, matching feature points of the eye contour, and matching feature points of the mouth contour.

For example, after a user presses and inputs a first icon in a first screen, the electronic device starts a shooting system, and a camera is used for automatically acquiring a facial image of the current user. The camera for collecting the facial image of the user can be a front-facing camera or a rear-facing camera. The specific camera may be set by a user in a self-defined manner, or may be preset by the electronic device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the matching of the collected face information and the preset face information may be: the collected face information is the same as preset face information, or the similarity of the collected face information and the preset face information is greater than or equal to a second predetermined threshold.

For example, in the process of displaying the N second icons, the electronic device may set ways of viewing the N second icons at different privacy levels by setting preset face information with different accuracies, where the privacy levels are proportional to the accuracies of the preset face information. In one example, the preset face information described above includes matching feature points. Further, the matching feature points in the preset face information are feature points which need to be matched in the face matching process. Generally, the higher the matching accuracy of the preset face information is, the more the number of matching feature points to be matched is, and the higher the recognition accuracy is, and conversely, the lower the matching accuracy of the preset face information is, the fewer the number of matching feature points to be matched is, and the lower the recognition accuracy is.

For example, the electronic device includes two pieces of preset face information, where the preset face information 1 includes 500 matching feature points, and the preset face information 2 includes 300 matching feature points, so that the user can perform a comparison between the preset face information 1 and the face information according to the privacy level of the application program, if the privacy level is high, during face recognition; if the privacy level is low, the preset face information 2 is adopted to be compared with the face information when the face identification is carried out.

For example, the second predetermined threshold may be user-defined or preset by the electronic device.

For example, the biometric information may further include iris information and audio information, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Therefore, only by means of recognizing the biological information, the N second icons in the second screen can be checked, so that a user who checks the second icons can be appointed, the privacy of the user is protected, and the safety of user information is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when there are unread messages in the N second icons of the electronic device, the electronic device may display, through the first icon, the number of unread messages of the application programs corresponding to the N second icons, or may not display the number of unread messages of the application programs corresponding to the N second icons.

For example, the user may view the number of unread information of the N second icons by directly viewing the number of unread information of the first icon.

Illustratively, the step 201 may further include the step C:

and C: and when the electronic equipment receives M unread messages of an application program corresponding to at least one second icon under the condition that the first icon is displayed on the first screen, the electronic equipment displays prompt information on the first icon, wherein the prompt information is used for prompting the number M of the unread messages, and M is a positive integer.

Illustratively, the prompt message may be an identifier indicating the number M of unread messages.

For example, the identifier indicating the number M of unread messages may be identified in various forms. For example, the identifier may be in the form of a picture or a text.

For example, the form of the identifier may be preset for the electronic device or may be customized for the user, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when the number M of the unread messages is 8, the prompt message may directly display the number "8" on the first icon, or may display a picture on the first icon, where the picture displays "8".

For example, when the application program corresponding to the second icon is a plurality of application programs, the number M of the unread messages is the sum of the unread messages of the plurality of application programs.

For example, the number M of the unread messages may be dynamically changed in real time based on the application programs corresponding to the N second icons receiving the unread messages, that is, when the application program corresponding to any icon of the N second icons receives a new unread message, the number M of the unread messages is increased in real time, otherwise, when the number of the unread messages of the application program corresponding to any icon of the N second icons is decreased (for example, the user views the unread messages of any application program of the N second icons), the number M of the unread messages is increased in real time.

For example, the prompt information may be dynamically changed in real time based on a change in the number M of unread messages, that is, when the number M of unread messages increases or decreases in real time, the prompt information changes accordingly.

For example, the unread information received by the application program corresponding to the N second icons is displayed on the first icon. As shown in (a) of fig. 8, icons of APP1 in the first screen are used to indicate APP4, APP5, and APP6 in the second screen, where the sum of the number of unread messages of APP4, APP5, and APP6 in the second screen is 7, and the number "7" is displayed on the upper right corner of the icon of APP 1. As shown in (b) of fig. 8, when the APP4 in the second screen receives a new unread message, the sum of the number of unread messages increases to 8, and the number displayed in the upper right corner of the icon of the APP1 changes, and is displayed as the number "8".

Therefore, the user can quickly know the number of the unread messages of the application program corresponding to the N second icons without turning the screen, so that the user can conveniently know the number of the received messages and check the unread messages in time.

Of course, when the N second icons of the electronic device have unread messages, the electronic device may not display the number of the unread messages of the application programs corresponding to the N second icons, so that other people cannot know the number of the unread messages through the first icon.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may display N second icons on a specific screen, for example, display N second icons on the second screen; the electronic device may also hide the N second icons on a display screen of the electronic device, and the user views the N second icons in a particular manner.

For example, the user may hide the N second icons in the electronic device, so that other users than the user himself cannot directly view the second icons.

For example, before the step 201, the following steps D1 and D2 may be further included:

step D1: the electronic device receives a third input.

Step D2: and in response to the third input, the electronic equipment hides the N second icons on the second screen.

For example, the description of the third input may refer to the description of the first input, and is not repeated here.

Illustratively, the third input is used to select a display mode of the N second icons. For example, when the application program indicated by the N second icons is a downloaded application program, the electronic device may perform a third input at a "mobile phone setting" APP, and select to hide or display the N second icons on the display interface of the second screen. When the application program indicated by the N second icons is an application program to be downloaded, the electronic device may display a third interface on the current display interface during downloading, and ask the user to hide or display the third interface on the display interface of the second screen.

For example, hiding N second icons in the second screen by the electronic device means: the electronic device does not directly display the N second icons on the display screen, and only can view the N second icons through the first icon of the first screen, or the user needs to unlock the second screen for the display interface which needs to be encrypted by the user, so that the N second icons can be viewed on the display interface of the second screen.

For example, the user needs to hide N second icons in the second screen. With reference to example 1, the user needs to hide APP4 for display, then the user enters "mobile phone settings" APP, selects "application management" option in "mobile phone settings" APP, sets APP4 as hidden display in the "application management" option, then the icon of APP4 will not be directly displayed on the electronic device, and the user can only view and open the icon of APP1 on the first screen.

Therefore, the user can hide and display the icons of the application programs in the electronic equipment on the display screen, the application programs are checked in a specific mode, other people except the user can be prevented from checking the application programs, and the privacy protection degree of the user is greatly improved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the methods for controlling the electronic device shown in the above method drawings are all exemplarily described by referring to one drawing in the embodiment of the present invention. In specific implementation, the method for controlling the electronic device shown in each method drawing can also be implemented by combining any other drawing which can be combined and is illustrated in the above embodiments, and details are not described here.
