Description

Display control method and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, in particular to a display control method and electronic equipment.

Background

With the development of electronic technology, the technology of mobile electronic devices has also been rapidly promoted. In the existing mobile electronic device technology, in order to meet the user's use requirements, the mobile electronic device is generally developed in the direction of small size and large screen size. For this reason, foldable electronic devices have come to be produced.

In the related foldable electronic device, the electronic device can be folded or unfolded by using the flexible screen. When the electronic device is in a semi-folded state, the flexible screen is typically divided into multiple screen regions. Generally, the plurality of screen areas are simultaneously lighted on or simultaneously extinguished based on a user's setting or own setting. In some application scenarios, when a user uses one of the screen regions, some other screen regions may not be visible to the user and need not be illuminated. Thus, the electronic device is unnecessarily increased in power consumption. Therefore, when the electronic device is in a semi-folded state, how to intelligently control the lighting or extinguishing of each screen area becomes a problem.

Disclosure of Invention

By adopting the display control method disclosed by the application, the on and off of each screen in the folding screen can be controlled, and the man-machine interaction performance of the electronic equipment is improved.

In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme is as follows:

in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a display control method, where the display control method is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device includes a first screen and a second screen, and the display control method includes: determining a current folded state of the electronic device based on an included angle between the first screen and the second screen, wherein the folded state includes one of: the foldable type foldable table comprises a fully-folded state, an unfolded state and a semi-folded state, wherein the fully-folded state corresponds to a first preset included angle range, the unfolded state corresponds to a second preset included angle range, the semi-folded state corresponds to a third preset included angle range, and the first preset included angle range, the second preset included angle range and the third preset included angle range are different; in response to the folding state of the electronic equipment being a half-folding state, determining use information of a user using the electronic equipment, and in response to the use information, controlling the first screen or the second screen to be turned on or off, wherein the use information comprises at least one of the following: the electronic equipment comprises a placing posture of the electronic equipment, sight line information of a user relative to the first screen or the second screen, and holding information of the user on the electronic equipment.

The first preset included angle range, the second preset included angle range and the third preset included angle range may be preset in the electronic device when the electronic device is shipped out of a factory, and may be determined according to the size of the electronic device, or may be determined after the usage habits of the user are acquired and analyzed through big data. When the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is within the second preset included angle range, the folding screen is in a half-folding state or a bracket state, and the folding screen is different from the unfolding state and the complete folding state of the folding screen. When the folding screen is in the state of unfolding, first screen and second screen form a big screen usually, when the folding screen is in full fold condition, fold in electronic equipment's casing when first screen and second screen are inwards folded, the content of first screen and second screen can not be seen by the user usually, user can select one of them screen to use when first screen and second screen are outwards full fold, when the folding screen is in the state of unfolding or full fold condition, do not need to judge the appearance of placing of folding screen usually. Therefore, the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is limited in a certain range to determine the placing posture of the folding screen, so that the electronic equipment can be detected more purposefully, and the accuracy of the determined placing posture of the electronic equipment is improved.

Preferably, the first preset included angle range is [0 degrees, 20 degrees ]; the second preset included angle range is [40 degrees, 100 degrees ]; the third preset included angle range is [120 degrees, 180 degrees ].

According to the embodiment, the first screen or the second screen is controlled to be on or off respectively based on the use information of the electronic equipment used by the user, and when the content presented in a certain screen area cannot be seen by the user, the screen is in the screen off state, so that the power consumption of the electronic equipment is reduced, and the cruising ability of the electronic equipment is improved.

Specifically, the electronic device may control lighting or extinguishing of the screen according to the placement posture of the electronic device. For example, sensors such as a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, and the like are provided in the area of the first screen and the area of the second screen, respectively. The gyroscope sensor and the acceleration sensor can acquire the triaxial component data of the first screen or the second screen and control the screen to be turned on or turned off according to the triaxial component data. Here, the three-axis component data may be an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis, where the X-axis direction is along a long side direction of the first screen or the second screen, the Y-axis direction is along a short side direction of the first screen or the second screen, and the Z-axis direction is perpendicular to the first screen or the second screen. For example, when the electronic device detects that the first screen is horizontally placed and opposite to the gravity direction and the second screen is obliquely placed (the oblique angle is the included angle between the first screen and the second screen) according to the triaxial component data, the user can see the first screen and the second screen at the same time, and the first screen and the second screen can be simultaneously lighted.

The electronic device may also control the on or off of the screen according to the user's gaze information relative to the first screen or the second screen. Specifically, a sensor, a camera, and the like are respectively disposed in the first screen region and the second screen region. The electronic device may utilize sensors to monitor in real time or periodically detect user gaze information. The user sight line information is whether the user looks at the first screen and/or the second screen. When the sensor on any one side detects the corresponding sight line information, the screen on the corresponding side is lighted. Or when the sensors on the two sides detect the sight line information, the first screen and the second screen are lightened simultaneously.

The electronic equipment can also control the on-off of the screen according to the holding information of the user on the electronic equipment. Touch detection points are respectively arranged in the preset area of the first screen and the preset area of the second screen, and when a user holds the areas, the electronic equipment can also detect that the user holds the first screen or the second screen by using a touch detection algorithm. For example, the first screen may be illuminated when the electronic device detects that the user is holding the first screen.

In addition, the electronic device can light or extinguish the first screen or the second screen according to the placement posture of the electronic device and the visual line information of the user relative to the first screen or the second screen. For example, the electronic device may first detect its current placement posture, then detect gaze information, and finally turn on or off the first screen or the second screen based on the gaze information.

Based on the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, controlling the first screen or the second screen to be turned on or off in response to a placement posture of the electronic device includes: and responding to the placing posture of the electronic equipment to indicate that the first screen is placed horizontally and faces the gravity direction, and controlling the second screen to be lightened and the first screen to be extinguished.

In this embodiment, when the first screen is horizontally placed, the second screen has a certain inclination angle, and the oblique cutting angle is an included angle between the first screen and the second screen. At this time, the user can clearly see the contents presented by the second screen. Therefore, the second screen lighting can be controlled. The first screen faces the gravity direction, namely faces downwards, the user cannot see the content presented by the first screen clearly, and in order to save electric energy, the first screen can be extinguished at the moment.

Based on the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, after the responding to the placement posture of the electronic device indicates that the first screen is placed horizontally and faces the direction of gravity, controlling the second screen to be lit and controlling the first screen to be extinguished, the method further includes: detecting sight line information of a user relative to the first screen or holding information of the first screen by the user; switching the second screen to the first screen in response to detecting that a user gazes at the first screen or that a user holds the first screen.

In some scenarios, when a user is lying in bed to look at the screen, it is common to fold the screen up for convenience. At this time, the user generally uses the first screen and the second screen as a support. When the electronic equipment detects that the user watches the first screen or holds the first screen, the content displayed by the second screen can be switched to the first screen, namely, the first screen is lightened, and the second screen is extinguished.

Based on the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, when the usage information includes a placement posture of the electronic device, controlling the first screen or the second screen to be turned on or off in response to the placement posture of the electronic device includes: and controlling at least one screen of the first screen and the second screen to be lightened in response to the fact that the placement posture of the electronic equipment indicates that the first screen is vertically placed or in response to the fact that the placement posture of the electronic equipment indicates that the first screen and the second screen are obliquely placed and the orientation of the first screen and the orientation of the second screen are opposite to the gravity direction.

Based on the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, when the usage information includes a placement posture of the electronic device, controlling the first screen or the second screen to be turned on or off in response to the placement posture of the electronic device includes: and controlling the first screen and the second screen to be extinguished in response to the placing posture of the electronic equipment indicating that the first screen and the second screen are placed obliquely and facing the gravity direction.

Specifically, when the placement posture of the electronic device indicates that the first screen and the second screen are placed obliquely and the first screen and the second screen are oriented in the opposite direction to the gravity direction (for example, the first screen and the second screen are both placed obliquely and supported on an object (for example, a desktop) with the long side as a supporting point), the user can see both the content presented by the first screen and the content presented by the second screen. However, the same user is often unable to see the content presented by the first screen and the second screen at the same time. At this time, the sensor of the first screen side and the sensor of the second screen side may detect sight line information of the user with respect to the screen, respectively. When the sensor on any screen side detects the sight line information of the user relative to the screen, the electronic equipment can light the screen on the corresponding side. For example, when two users respectively look at the first screen and the second screen, the sensor on the first screen side and the sensor on the second screen side can respectively detect the visual lines of the two users, so that the electronic device can light up both the first screen and the second screen.

Based on the first aspect, in a possible implementation manner, determining a folded state of the electronic device based on an included angle between the first screen and the second screen includes: and determining the folded state of the electronic equipment recorded last time as the current folded state of the electronic equipment.

In this embodiment of the application, the range of the included angle between the first screen and the second screen may further include a fourth preset included angle range, and the first included angle range may also be referred to as a hysteresis interval. When the user walks or other external forces cause the angle between the first and second screens to change, the change is usually slight, but at the same time not intended to be changed by the user. At this time, when the included angle between the first screen and the second screen falls into the hysteresis zone, the folded state of the folded screen recorded last time may be referred to, and when the folded state of the folded screen recorded last time is determined as the current folded state.

According to the embodiment of the application, the four preset included angle ranges are set, so that the condition change of the folding screen caused by data fluctuation due to the error of the sensor inside the electronic equipment or the change of the folding angle due to the external force action (walking of a user, shaking of an automobile and the like) can be effectively avoided, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

Detailed Description

The term "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B, may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

The terms "first" and "second," and the like, in the description and in the claims of the embodiments of the present application are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order of the objects. For example, the first target object and the second target object, etc. are specific sequences for distinguishing different target objects, rather than describing target objects.

In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g.," 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 description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified. For example, a plurality of processing units refers to two or more processing units; the plurality of systems refers to two or more systems.

The embodiment of the application provides a control method which can be applied to electronic equipment comprising a folding screen. The foldable screen is a display screen and has the characteristic of being foldable. Typically, the folding screen can be folded into at least two screen areas. For example, the folding screen may be folded to form a first screen area and a second screen area, hereinafter referred to as a first screen and a second screen. In the process that the folding screen is folded or unfolded, the included angle between the first screen and the second screen of the folding screen can be changed from large to small, or the included angle between the first screen and the second screen of the folding screen can be changed from small to large. It should be noted that at least two screens formed by folding the folded screen may respectively display different contents (for example, by split-screen, simultaneously running through multiple screens and displaying multiple application interfaces), or may display the same content (for example, simultaneously presenting the same application interface through multiple screens).

The folding screen shown in the embodiment of the application can be an inward folding screen or an outward folding screen. When the folding screen is an inward folding screen, the folding screen can be folded inwards only around the folding axis; when the folding screen is an outer folding screen, the folding screen can be folded outwards only around the folding axis. The folding screen can be 360 folding screens, and when the folding screen is 360 folding screens, the folding screen can be folded inwards or outwards. The electronic equipment can determine the state of the folding screen according to the size of an included angle between the first screen and the second screen in the folding screen. The state may include, for example, but is not limited to, a folded state, a semi-folded state, and an unfolded state. When the folding screen is in the half-folded state, the electronic device may further determine usage information of the electronic device used by the user, the usage information including at least one of: the electronic equipment comprises a placing posture of the electronic equipment, sight line information of a user relative to the first screen or the second screen and holding information of the user on the electronic equipment, so that the electronic equipment respectively controls the on and off of the first screen and the second screen according to the using information. For example, when the electronic device detects that the long edge of the first screen extends in the vertical direction, the long edge of the second screen extends in the horizontal direction, and the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is 60 degrees, it may be determined that the user is using the first screen, and at this time, the electronic device may control the first screen to be turned on, and control the second screen to be in a screen turn-off state.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic equipment respectively controls the on and off of each screen by collecting the use information of the electronic equipment used by a user, and when the content presented in a certain screen area cannot be seen by the user, the screen is in the screen off state, so that the power consumption of the electronic equipment is reduced, and the cruising ability of the electronic equipment is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, when the foldable screen is in the semi-folded state, the electronic device may further control the content display directions (e.g., landscape screen display or portrait screen display) in the first screen and the second screen respectively according to the placement posture of the electronic device. Therefore, the display direction of each screen content does not need to be set by the user, and the flexibility of the electronic equipment is improved.

The state of the folding screen shown in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail first with reference to fig. 1 to 2.

Fig. 1 is an axis diagram illustrating a foldable angle of a foldable screen provided in an embodiment of the present application. In the axial view shown in fig. 1, the folding screen can be divided into a folding state, a half-folding state and an unfolding state in the order of the folding angle from small to large. In fig. 1, a first hysteresis interval is further included between the folded state and the half-folded state, and a second hysteresis interval is further included between the half-folded state and the unfolded state. In the semi-folding state, when one screen is not used, the screen can be used as a support for other screens; alternatively, when two screens are used together, the electronic apparatus can be used while being stood on its side or erected, and therefore, the half-folded state can also be referred to as a stand state. The folding angle is an angle between the first screen and the second screen.

In the embodiment of the application, the inward folding is that the first screen and the second screen are oppositely arranged. That is, when the first screen and the second screen are completely folded, the user can not see the content presented by the screen. The outward folding is that the first screen and the second screen are arranged in opposite directions. That is, when the first screen and the second screen are completely folded, the user can see the content presented by the first screen and also can see the content presented by the second screen. When the folding screen is turned from an inner folding state to an unfolding state, the folding angle can be changed between 0 degrees and 180 degrees; when the folding screen is turned from the unfolded state to the outer folded state, the folding angle can be changed between 180 degrees and 360 degrees. However, in order to make the electronic device easier to calculate, the folding angle may also be varied between [0 °, 180 ° ] when the folding screen is turned from the outer folded state to the unfolded state. It should be noted that the numerical variation range of the folding angle shown in the embodiment of the present application is illustrative, and other numerical ranges may be set according to the needs of the application scenario.

Specifically, in fig. 1, a1 represents the folding angle of the folding screen when it is fully folded, and it can be considered as 0 ° here, and the fully folded here can include a fully folded inward or a fully folded outward; a6 represents the fold angle when the folded screen is fully unfolded, which can be considered here as 180 °. Critical folding angles a2, a3, a4 and a5 for defining a folded state, a first hysteresis interval, a half-folded state, a second hysteresis interval and an unfolded state are also included between a1-a 6. When the folding angle is between a1 and a2, the folding screen is in a folding state. When the folding angle is between a2 and a3, the last folding state needs to be referred to. That is, when the previous state of the folding screen is the folding state, the folding screen is in the folding state at this time; when the last state of the folding screen is the half-folding state, the folding screen is in the half-folding state at the moment. When the folding angle is between a3 and a4, the folding screen is in a half-folding state. When the folding angle is between a4 and a5, the folding angle needs to be referred to the previous folding state. That is, when the previous state of the folding screen is the half-folding state, the folding screen is in the half-folding state at this time; when the last state of the folding screen is the unfolding state, the folding screen is in the unfolding state at the moment. When the folding angle is between a5 and a6, the folding screen is in an unfolded state.

In some specific implementations or specific application scenarios, the above a1 may be 0 °, a2 may be 20 °, a3 may be 40 °, a4 may be 100 °, a5 may be 120 °, and a6 may be 180 °. Therefore, when the electronic device is in a folded state, the folding angle is [0 degrees and 20 degrees ], that is, the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is [0 degrees and 20 degrees ]; when the electronic device is in a folded state, the folding angle is [40 degrees and 100 degrees ], that is, the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is [40 degrees and 100 degrees ]; when the electronic equipment is in an unfolded state, the folding angle is [120 degrees and 180 degrees ], namely the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is [120 degrees and 180 degrees ]; the included angle range of the first hysteresis interval is (20 degrees and 40 degrees); the second hysteresis interval has an angle in the range of (100 °, 120 °). It should be noted here that the angle a1-a6 is not limited to this, and other angles may be set according to the needs of a specific scenario.

A description will be given of a case where the folding angle falls within the first hysteresis zone or the second hysteresis zone with a specific example.

Libraries and runtimes (libraries and runtimes) and libraries and runtimes in framework (framework)223 are also called runtime libraries, which provide the required library files and execution environment for the executable program at runtime. The framework therein is used to provide various basic common components and services for applications in the application layer 23, such as sensor service (SensorService)2231, folding screen management service (Ford screen manager service)2232, window management, location management, and so on.

The functions of the various components of the operating system described above may be implemented by a processor executing programs stored in memory.

Explaining the Sensor Service (Sensor Service)2231 and the folding screen management Service (Fordscreen manager Service)2232 in the operating system, the processor 110 in the embodiment of the present application may be configured to execute a computer program in a memory, so as to implement the display control method of the electronic device with a folding screen in the embodiment of the present application, so that the folding screen management Service (Ford screen manager Service)2232 obtains data of a Sensor from the Sensor Service (Sensor Service)2231, determine a placement posture of the electronic device in a half-folded state according to the data of the Sensor, determine and light a certain screen area or several screen areas according to the placement posture of the electronic device, thereby reducing power consumption of the electronic device 100, improving cruising ability of the electronic device 100, and improving usability of the terminal device 100.

It should be understood that in practical applications, the electronic device 100 may include more or less components than those shown in fig. 3, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

The methods in the following embodiments may be implemented in an electronic device having the above hardware structure. And the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the electronic device 100 shown in any one of fig. 2 to 3. In conjunction with fig. 2-3 described above, it can be appreciated that in the present embodiment, the electronic device is a folding screen electronic device that includes at least a first screen and a second screen. The first screen and the second screen may be two screens formed by folding the flexible folding screen along the folding edge, or two screens included in the multi-screen folding screen itself. And each screen included in the electronic device is provided with a sensor device (such as a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor) for measuring the triaxial components of the screen.

It should be noted that, if the electronic device includes only two screens, the first screen and the second screen refer to the two screens included in the electronic device, respectively. For example, in conjunction with fig. 2 to 3, the first screen and the second screen are an a screen and a B screen, respectively.

A method for controlling an electronic device with a foldable screen according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific scenarios. For convenience of description, the following embodiments are described by taking the folding screen shown in fig. 2 and the folding screen as an example, which is bent to form two screens. The two screens formed after the folding screen is folded can be the screen a and the screen B shown in fig. 2. The screen a may be the first screen described in this embodiment, and the screen B may be the second screen described in this embodiment.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a display control method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the method may include:

s501, determining the current folding state of the electronic equipment based on the included angle between the first screen and the second screen.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may periodically determine the angle data between the first screen and the second screen through a gyroscope sensor disposed in the electronic device. After the electronic equipment determines the included angle data between the first screen and the second screen, the folding state of the electronic equipment can be further determined. Here, the folded state of the electronic device may include a folded state, a half-folded state, and an unfolded state, and reference may be made to the axis diagram shown in fig. 1, which is not described herein again. For example, when the electronic device determines that the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is 15 °, the current folding state of the electronic device is a folding state; when the electronic equipment determines that the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is 60 degrees, the current folding state of the electronic equipment can be determined to be a half-folding state; when the electronic device determines that the included angle between the first screen and the second screen is 170 degrees, it can be determined that the current folded state of the electronic device is the unfolded state.

In a specific implementation, the electronic device may periodically acquire, through a sensor device such as a gyroscope sensor, an acceleration sensor, a gravity sensor, and the like, triaxial component data (Gxm, Gym, Gzm) of the first screen and triaxial component data (Gxs, Gys, Gzs) of the second screen, respectively, and determine an angle between the first screen and the second screen according to the triaxial component data (Gxm, Gym, Gzm) of the first screen and the triaxial component data (Gxs, Gys, Gzs) of the second screen. Where Gxm denotes a component of the first screen in the X-axis direction, Gym denotes a component of the first screen in the Y-axis direction, and Gzm denotes a component of the first screen in the Z-axis direction. Gxs denotes a component of the second screen in the X-axis direction, Gys denotes a component of the second screen in the Y-axis direction, and Gzs denotes a component of the second screen in the Z-axis direction. The X-axis direction is a short side extending direction of the first screen or the second screen of the electronic device, the Y-axis direction is a long side extending direction of the first screen or the second screen of the electronic device, and the Z-axis direction is a direction perpendicular to the first screen or the second screen.

It should be noted that, a period of the electronic device acquiring the triaxial component data of the first screen and the triaxial component data of the second screen from the sensor device may be predefined, or may be preconfigured (for example, the electronic device is configured in the electronic device when the electronic device leaves a factory), and the embodiment of the present application is not limited specifically herein.

It should be noted that the method for determining the included angle between the first screen and the second screen shown in the embodiment of the present application is illustrative, and other methods may also be used for determining the included angle.

In one implementation, when the electronic device determines the angle between the first screen and the second screen, and the angle of the angle falls into the first hysteresis interval (a2, a3) or the second hysteresis interval (a4, a5) shown in fig. 1, the electronic device may use the folded state of the electronic device recorded last time as the current folded state of the electronic device.

When the electronic device is currently in the half-folded state, S502 is performed. When the electronic device is not in the half-folded state, the current on-off states of the first screen and the second screen can be kept until the electronic device is detected to be in the half-folded state.

And S502, responding to the situation that the current folding state of the electronic equipment is a half-folding state, and further determining the placing posture of the electronic equipment.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may determine the current placement posture of the electronic device based on the triaxial component data (Gxm, Gym, Gzm) of the first screen acquired by the sensor device of the first screen and the triaxial component data (Gxs, Gys, Gzs) of the second screen acquired by the sensor device of the second screen.

In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device may further detect an included angle between the first screen and the horizontal plane and a component along the gravity direction, or an included angle between the second screen and the horizontal plane and a component along the gravity direction; and determining the placing posture of the electronic equipment according to the included angle between the first screen and the horizontal plane and the component along the gravity direction, or the included angle between the second screen and the horizontal plane and the component along the gravity direction. The included angle between the first screen or the second screen and a vertical plane or a horizontal plane refers to the included angle between the plane where the front surface of the first screen or the second screen is located and the horizontal plane.

Wherein the angle of the first screen or the second screen to the horizontal is used to determine the orientation (e.g., horizontal, vertical, oblique) of the first screen or the second screen. Taking the first screen as an example, when an included angle between the first screen and the horizontal plane is smaller than a first preset angle threshold (for example, smaller than 5 degrees), the first screen may be considered to be horizontally placed; when the included angle between the first screen and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to a first preset angle threshold value and less than or equal to a second preset angle threshold value (for example, greater than or equal to 5 degrees and less than 85 degrees), the first screen is considered to be placed obliquely; the first screen may be considered to be vertically positioned when the first screen is at an angle greater than a second angular threshold (e.g., greater than 85 degrees) from horizontal.

The component of the first screen or the second screen in the direction of gravity is used to determine whether the screen is facing upwards or downwards. For example, when the component of the first screen in the gravity direction is the same as the gravity direction, it is said that the first screen is facing downward; when the component of the first screen along the gravity direction is opposite to the gravity direction, the first screen is upward.

In some implementations, the electronic device can have multiple placement poses in the semi-folded state.

Specifically, in fig. 6a to 6d, one of the panels of the electronic device is fixed and horizontally placed, and the other panel is bent along the folding axis within a predetermined angle range by using the fixed panel as a support. At this time, the placement posture of the electronic device may be referred to as a single-cradle posture. The predetermined angular range may be [40 °, 100 ° ].

In fig. 6e to 6j, the electronic apparatus is placed upright with one side (long side or short side) of the first screen and the second screen formed by bending as a stand, respectively. At this time, the placement posture of the electronic device may be referred to as a two-stand posture. Here, the side of the first screen and the side of the second screen for supporting the electronic apparatus are located at the same horizontal plane.

The following describes in detail various placement poses of the electronic device, taking the scenarios shown in fig. 6 a-6 j as examples. In fig. 6a to 6j, positive is taken to be upward in the vertical direction, positive is taken to be rightward in the horizontal direction, and positive is taken to be outward perpendicular to the screen.

Fig. 6a shows a schematic view of a first placement posture of the electronic device in a semi-folded state. In the first resting position shown in fig. 6a, the folding screen is folded outwardly. At this time, the first screen a is disposed facing the user, and the second screen B is placed horizontally downward as a stand for the first screen a. The included angle between the first screen A and the horizontal plane is larger than a first preset angle and smaller than a second preset angle, the component in the gravity direction is opposite to the gravity direction, and the included angle between the second screen B and the horizontal plane is smaller than the first preset angle and the component in the gravity direction is the same as the gravity direction. At this time, the following constraint conditions (1) are satisfied

Fig. 6b shows a second placement posture diagram of the electronic device in a semi-folded state. In the second resting position shown in fig. 6b, the folding screen is folded outwardly. At this time, the second screen B is disposed facing the user, and the first screen a is placed horizontally downward as a stand for the second screen B. The included angle between the first screen A and the horizontal plane is smaller than a first preset angle, the component in the gravity direction is the same as the gravity direction, the included angle between the second screen B and the horizontal plane is larger than the first preset angle, smaller than a second preset angle, and the component in the gravity direction is opposite to the gravity direction. At this time, the following constraint conditions (2) are satisfied

As can be seen from fig. 6 a-6 b, in the first and second placement postures as shown in fig. 6a, 6b, the screen as a stand is disposed in a direction away from the user's line of sight. For example, in fig. 6a, a user cannot view the second screen B when viewing the first screen a from a horizontal perspective; or in fig. 6B, the user cannot view the first screen a while viewing the second screen B at a horizontal viewing angle.

Fig. 6c shows a third placement posture diagram of the electronic device in the semi-folded state. In the third resting position shown in fig. 6c, the folding screen is folded inwards. At this moment, the first screen A is arranged facing a user, the second screen B is horizontally placed upwards to serve as a support of the first screen A, the included angle between the first screen A and the horizontal plane is larger than a first preset angle, smaller than a second preset angle, and the component along the gravity direction is the same as the gravity direction, and the included angle between the second screen B and the horizontal plane is smaller than the first preset angle, and the component along the gravity direction is opposite to the gravity direction. At this time, the following constraint conditions (3) are satisfied

Fig. 6d shows a fourth placement posture diagram of the electronic device in a semi-folded state. In the fourth resting position shown in fig. 6d, the folding screen is folded inwards. At this time, the second screen B is disposed facing the user, and the first screen a is placed horizontally upward as a stand for the second screen B. The included angle between the first screen A and the horizontal plane is smaller than a first preset angle, the component in the gravity direction is opposite to the gravity direction, the included angle between the second screen B and the horizontal plane is larger than the first preset angle and smaller than a second preset angle, and the component in the gravity direction is the same as the gravity direction. At this time, the following constraint conditions (4) are satisfied

As can be seen from fig. 6c to 6d, in the third placement posture and the fourth placement posture as shown in fig. 6c, 6d, the screens as the stands are each disposed in a direction toward the user's sight line. For example, in fig. 6c, when the user views the first screen a at a horizontal viewing angle, the picture in the second screen B can be clearly seen; or in fig. 6B, when the user views the second screen B at a horizontal viewing angle, the picture in the first screen a can be clearly seen.

In the constraint conditions (1) to (4), G is the gravitational acceleration, the standard value thereof is 9.8, and θ is a value obtained by converting the preset angle value into the data corresponding to the acceleration sensor. Generally, when the second screen B is placed absolutely horizontally, Gms + G is 0 and Gys is 0. When the electronic device is in use, the second screen B is not normally placed absolutely horizontally, i.e. there may be a certain height difference between the left and right sides of the electronic device. When the height difference is within a certain range, it can be regarded that the second screen B is horizontally placed. By setting the angle theta, the judgment of the placing posture of the electronic equipment can be more flexible.

Fig. 6e shows a fifth placement posture diagram of the electronic device in a semi-folded state. In the fifth placement posture shown in fig. 6e, the folding screen is folded outward, and the long sides of the first screen a and the second screen B of the electronic apparatus are located in the same horizontal plane. For example, in some scenarios, the electronic device is supported on a support with the long sides of the first screen a and the second screen B as supports. Supports herein include, but are not limited to, table tops, palms, and the like. The schematic view in this placement attitude can be simplified to the vector diagram shown in fig. 6 f. In fig. 6e and 6f, Wm is the width of the short side of first panel a, and Ws is the width of the short side of second panel B. Here, the width Wm of the short side of the first panel a and the width Ws of the short side of the second panel B may be the same or different. For example, the width Wm of the short side of the first panel A is larger than the width Ws of the short side of the second panel B. At this time, the included angle between the first screen a and the horizontal plane is larger than a first preset angle and smaller than a second preset angle, and the component along the gravity direction is opposite to the gravity direction, and the included angle between the second screen B and the horizontal plane is larger than the first preset angle and smaller than the second preset angle, and the component along the gravity direction is opposite to the gravity direction. When the folding screen is in the set posture as shown in FIG. 6e, the following constraint conditions (5) are satisfied

In the sixth placement posture shown in fig. 6g, the folding screen is folded inward, and the long sides of the first screen a and the second screen B of the electronic apparatus are located in the same horizontal plane. As can be seen from fig. 6g, the sixth placement posture is different from the fifth placement posture in that the folded screen is folded inward along the folding axis. Fig. 6h is a vector diagram of the electronic device in the sixth placement posture. Similarly, in fig. 6g and 6h, Wm is the width of the short side of first panel a, and Ws is the width of the short side of second panel B. At this time, the included angle between the first screen a and the horizontal plane is larger than the first preset angle and smaller than the second preset angle, and the component along the gravity direction is the same as the gravity direction, and the included angle between the second screen B and the horizontal plane is larger than the first preset angle and smaller than the second preset angle, and the component along the gravity direction is the same as the gravity direction. When the folding screen is in the set posture as shown in FIG. 6g, the following constraint (6) is satisfied

It should be noted that, in the constraint conditions (5) - (6), G is a gravity acceleration, the standard value is 9.8, β is an angle between the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the first screen a and smaller than 90 °, γ is an angle between the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the second screen B and smaller than 90 ° (that is, γ is an angle between the X-axis direction and the horizontal direction of the second screen B and smaller than 90 °), when the placement posture of the electronic device is the configuration shown in fig. 6e or 6f, the product of Wm and sin β and the product of Ws and sin γ are the height h when the screen is folded, therefore, Wmsin β is wsin γ, at this time, the angle between the Z-axis direction of the first screen a and the gravity direction is β, the included angle between the Z-axis direction of the second screen B and the gravity direction is β, and the included angle between the Z-axis direction of the second screen B and the gravity direction is the same, when the Z-axis direction is the same as the gravity direction, the Z-axis direction, and the data of the Z-axis direction of the second screen B are considered as the data of the first screen a, when the Z-Z acceleration is the same as the gravity direction, and the data of the second screen B, and when the data of the second screen B, the second screen B is considered as the data of the second screen B.

Fig. 6i shows a seventh placement posture diagram of the electronic device in the half-folded state. In the seventh placement posture shown in fig. 6i, the folding screen is folded outward, and the short sides of the first screen a and the second screen B of the electronic apparatus are located in the same horizontal plane. For example, in some scenarios, the electronic device is supported on a support with the short sides of the first screen a and the second screen B as a stand. At the moment, the included angle between the first screen A and the horizontal plane is larger than or equal to a second preset angle, and the included angle between the second screen B and the horizontal plane is larger than the first preset angle and larger than or equal to the second preset angle. When the folding screen is in the set posture as shown in FIG. 6i, the following constraint conditions (7) are satisfied

Fig. 6j shows an eighth placement posture diagram of the electronic device in the semi-folded state. In the eighth placement posture shown in fig. 6j, the folding screen is folded inward, and the short sides of the first screen a and the second screen B of the electronic device are located in the same horizontal plane. At this time, the included angle between the first screen A and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to a second preset angle, and the included angle between the second screen B and the horizontal plane is greater than the first preset angle and greater than or equal to the second preset angle. The constraint condition (7) can be referred to as the constraint condition satisfied in the placement posture, and details are not repeated here.

The first preset angle in the application scenarios as described in fig. 6 a-6 j may be, for example, 10 degrees, and the second preset angle may be, for example, 80 degrees.

In a specific implementation, the Sensor Hub (Sensor Hub)2221 shown in fig. 4 may determine angle data between the first screen and the second screen based on direction vector data of the orientations of the first screen and the second screen acquired by the Sensor devices of the first screen a and the second screen B, and then transmit the direction vector data of the orientations of the first screen, the direction vector data of the orientations of the second screen, and the angle data between the first screen and the second screen to the Sensor Service (Sensor Service)2231, the Sensor Service (Sensor Service)2231 transmits triaxial component data of the first screen, component data of the second screen, and angle data between the first screen and the second screen acquired by the Sensor devices of the first screen a and the second screen B to the folded screen management Service (force screen manager Service)2232, and the folded screen manager Service (force screen manager) 2232 may first determine angle data between the first screen and the second screen based on the direction vector data of the orientations of the first screen a and the second screen B, it is determined whether the electronic device is in a semi-folded state. After determining that the electronic device is in a half-folded state, a folded screen management service (Ford screen management service)2232 may further determine a current placement posture of the electronic device according to the triaxial component data based on the first screen a and the second screen B. That is, the folding screen management service (Fordscreen manager service)2232 may determine that the current placement posture of the electronic device is one of a first placement posture, a second placement posture, a third placement posture, a fourth placement posture, a fifth placement posture, a sixth placement posture, a seventh placement posture and an eighth placement posture.

And S503, controlling the first screen or the second screen to be lightened or extinguished based on the current placing posture of the electronic equipment.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may control the first screen or the second screen to be turned on or off according to the current placement posture of the electronic device.

The following describes in detail the relationship between the placement posture of the electronic device and the on/off of the screen with reference to fig. 6a to 6j and fig. 7a to 7 i.

When the current placement posture of the electronic device is the first placement posture, the second screen B is generally horizontally placed on a support such as a desktop, the second screen B is shielded by the vertically-erected first screen a, and a user cannot see the screen content presented by the second screen B at this time. Thus, first panel a may be lit and second panel B may be extinguished at this time, as shown in fig. 7 a.

When the current placement posture of the electronic device is the second placement posture, the first screen a is generally horizontally placed on a support such as a desktop, the first screen a is shielded by the second screen B, and a user cannot see the screen content presented by the first screen a at this time. Accordingly, second panel B can be lit up and first panel a can be extinguished at this time. The detailed state and application scenario thereof can be seen with reference to fig. 7 b.

When the current placement posture of the electronic equipment is the third placement posture, the user can see the content presented by the first screen A and can also see the content presented by the second screen B. The first screen a and the second screen B may be simultaneously lighted at this time. Further, the first screen a and the second screen B may present the same content. That is, the first screen a and the second screen B may be one screen, and display the content of the same interface. As shown in fig. 7c, fig. 7c schematically shows a scenario in which a certain chat interaction interface is displayed.

When the current placement posture of the electronic equipment is the fourth placement posture, the user can see the content presented by the first screen a and the content presented by the second screen B at the moment. At this time, the electronic apparatus may simultaneously light the first screen a and the second screen B. Further, the first screen a and the second screen B may display the content of the same interface. The specific application scenario can be seen with reference to fig. 7 d.

When the current placing posture of the electronic equipment is the fifth placing posture, the folding screen is folded outwards along the folding axis at the moment, and the long edges of the first screen A and the second screen B are positioned in the same horizontal plane. The user can now see both the content presented by the first screen a and the content presented by the second screen B. At this time, the first screen a and the second screen B may be simultaneously lighted. The specific application scenario can be seen with reference to fig. 7 e. Further, the first screen a and the second screen B may display contents of the same interface.

When the current placing posture of the electronic equipment is the sixth placing posture, because the folding screen is folded inwards along the folding axis, one surfaces of the first screen A and the second screen B, which present the pictures, are arranged oppositely, and the long edges of the first screen A and the second screen B are positioned in the same horizontal plane. In an application scenario of the placement posture, the folded screen is bent and then turned upside down on the desktop, that is, the first screen a and the second screen B face the desktop. At this time, it is often difficult for the user to see the pictures presented by the first screen a and the second screen B. Therefore, in this configuration, the electronic device can simultaneously turn off the first screen a and the second screen B, and a specific application scenario thereof can be shown with reference to fig. 7 f.

When the current placement posture of the electronic equipment is the seventh placement posture, the short sides of the first screen a and the second screen B are located in the same horizontal plane, that is, the electronic equipment is placed vertically. The user can now see both the content presented by the first screen a and the content presented by the second screen B. The first screen a and the second screen B may be simultaneously lighted at this time. Further, the first screen a and the second screen B may display the content of the same interface. The specific application scenario can be seen with reference to fig. 7 g.

When the current placement posture of the electronic equipment is the eighth placement posture, the user can see the content presented by the first screen a and the content presented by the second screen B at the moment. The first screen a and the second screen B may be simultaneously lighted at this time. The first screen a and the second screen B may display contents of the same interface. The specific application scenario can be seen with reference to fig. 7 h. Further, the first screen a and the second screen B may be displayed in a split-screen manner, and a specific application scenario may be shown in fig. 7 i.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may also control the manner in which content is displayed in the screen based on the determined placement gesture. The display mode comprises one of the following modes: horizontal screen display and vertical screen display.

Specifically, in the above placing postures, the first placing posture, the second placing posture, the third placing posture and the fourth placing posture are all placing postures in the landscape screen state. Therefore, when the electronic equipment detects that the current placing posture is one of the first placing posture, the second placing posture, the third placing posture and the fourth placing posture, the lighted content in the screen can be controlled to be displayed on the horizontal screen. For example, in the first placement posture, the first screen a lights up and the second screen B extinguishes. At this time, the first screen a horizontal screen display may be controlled. Among the above placing postures, the fifth placing posture, the sixth placing posture, the seventh placing posture and the eighth placing posture are placing postures in a vertical screen state. Thus, when the electronic device detects that the current placement posture is one of the fifth placement posture, the sixth placement posture, the seventh placement posture and the eighth placement posture, the vertical screen display of the content in the lighted screen can be controlled. For example, in the third placement posture, the first screen a and the second screen B are simultaneously lit (as shown in fig. 7 c). The electronic device may control the content portrait screen display presented by the first screen a and the second screen B.

Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a control method according to another embodiment of the present application. The execution body of the method may be the electronic device described above. As shown in fig. 8, the following steps may be included:

step S801, determining a current folding state of the electronic device based on an included angle between the first screen and the second screen.

Step S802, in response to that the folding state of the electronic device is a half-folding state, further determining a current placement posture of the electronic device.

The specific implementation of step S801 and step S802 and the beneficial effects brought by the implementation can refer to the related description of step S501 and step S502 shown in fig. 5, and are not described herein again.

In step S803, the electronic device determines whether user information is detected.

In this embodiment, the user information may include, but is not limited to, for example, line of sight information of the user with respect to the first screen or the second screen, and holding information of the electronic device by the user.

Here, the electronic device may acquire user gaze information using an infrared sensor, and may detect whether the user holds the electronic device using a touch detection algorithm.

In particular, the electronic device may be provided with a plurality of cameras or infrared sensors, which may include, but are not limited to, infrared cameras, visible light cameras, and the like. In a specific implementation, the plurality of cameras or the infrared sensors may be respectively disposed in a first screen area and a second screen area of the electronic device. That is, after the foldable screen is folded along the folding axis to form the first screen a and the second screen B, a portion of the cameras (e.g., an infrared camera and a visible light camera) or the infrared sensor is disposed at one side of the first screen a, and a portion of the cameras (e.g., an infrared camera and a visible light camera) or the infrared sensor is disposed at one side of the second screen B. Therefore, when the user uses the first screen A or the second screen B, the electronic equipment can acquire sight line information of the user relative to the first screen or the second screen by using the camera or the infrared sensor, and the detection range of the electronic equipment for the sight line of the user is enlarged.

In specific implementation, the working process of a camera or an infrared sensor in the electronic equipment can control the camera or the infrared sensor to detect the sight line information of the user. When the camera or the infrared sensor detects the user sight line information, the camera or the infrared sensor working process can provide the identification (or the number) of the camera or the infrared sensor which detects the user sight line information and the user sight line information to a folding screen management service in the electronic equipment. Therefore, after receiving the information sent by the camera or the working process of the infrared sensor, the folding screen management service can determine the detected user sight line information and the distance between the user sight line and the first screen or the second screen. Similarly, in the touch detection work process of the electronic device, after it is detected that the user touches or holds the electronic device, the screen area touched by the user or the side area of the held electronic device can be determined, and then the detected touch area information or the held area information is provided to the folding screen management service. Therefore, after receiving the touch area information or the holding area information sent by the touch detection working process, the folding screen management service can determine that the holding information of the user on the electronic equipment is detected.

In this embodiment, when the electronic device cannot detect the user information, step S804 may be performed; when the electronic device detects the user information, step S805 may be performed.

Step S804, based on the current placing posture of the electronic device, the first screen or the second screen is controlled to be lightened or extinguished.

Step S805, the electronic equipment controls the first screen or the second screen to be lightened on or extinguished according to the user information and the current placing posture of the electronic equipment.

In this embodiment, when the electronic device detects the user information, the lighting or the extinguishing of the first screen or the second screen may be intelligently controlled based on the user information and the current placement posture information of the electronic device.

The following describes in detail the relationship between the user information, the current placement posture of the electronic device, and the on/off of the screen, with reference to fig. 6a to 6 j.

The electronic device placement posture here is one of the first placement posture, the second placement posture, the third placement posture, the fourth placement posture, the fifth placement posture, the sixth placement posture, the seventh placement posture, and the eighth placement posture described in step S502.

As can be seen from fig. 6c, 6d, and 6j, when the placement postures of the folding screen are the third placement posture, the fourth placement posture, and the eighth placement posture, the folding screen is folded inward. At this time, the same user can see both the content displayed on the first screen a and the content displayed on the second screen B. Meanwhile, the camera or the sensor positioned in the first screen A area and the camera or the sensor positioned in the second screen B area can detect the sight of the user. Therefore, when the placing posture of the electronic equipment is any one of the third placing posture, the fourth placing posture and the eighth placing posture and the electronic equipment detects the sight line information of the user, the first screen A and the second screen B can be lightened simultaneously. Furthermore, the interface content of the same application can be displayed at this time, and the interface content of different applications can be displayed in a split screen manner, which can be determined according to the needs of application scenes.

As can be seen from fig. 6g, when the electronic device is placed in the sixth position, the foldable screen is folded inward and then stands on a support, for example, a table. At this moment, the first screen A and the second screen B face towards the desktop, and the camera located in the first screen A area and the camera located in the second screen B area cannot detect the sight of the user. At this time, the first panel a and the second panel B may be simultaneously turned off, or the first panel a and the second panel B may be maintained in the turned-off state.

When the placing posture of the electronic equipment is the first placing posture, as shown in fig. 6 a. When the electronic equipment is placed on a support such as a table top, the first screen A is erected, and the second screen B faces the table top, at the moment, the camera or the infrared sensor in the area of the first screen A can generally detect the sight line of a user, and the camera or the infrared sensor in the area of the second screen B cannot detect the sight line of the user. The first panel a may be lit such that the second panel B is extinguished. In a certain application scenario, when the user views the screen in a lying posture, the electronic device is in a first placed posture, and the user generally uses a horizontally placed screen area, i.e., the second screen B. At this time, when the camera located in the second screen B area detects the user's sight line, the second screen B may be lit, and the first screen a may be extinguished. In a certain application scenario, when the human eyes are far away from the screen or the light is weak, the camera cannot detect the sight of the user, and the user holds the electronic device, when the electronic device detects that the user holds the electronic device, the corresponding screen area can be lighted based on the held area. Specifically, the electronic device may pre-record a corresponding relationship between the user holding area and the on/off state of the screen. The electronic device can determine which screen region needs to be lit based on the correspondence. As an example, when the user holds the bezel region corresponding to the second screen B, the user may be considered to be using the second screen B, and the second screen B may be lit up at this time.

Similarly, when the placing posture of the electronic equipment is the second placing posture, the second screen B is erected at the moment, and the first screen A is horizontal. In this placement position, the principle of lighting the screen is the same as in the first placement position, and is not described in detail here.

When the placing posture of the electronic equipment is the fifth placing posture, as shown in fig. 6 e. At this time, the folding screen is folded outward. The user can see both the content presented by the first screen a and the content presented by the second screen B. In this placement position, the user typically does not see both screen regions simultaneously. Therefore, when the camera in the area of the first screen A detects the sight of the user, the first screen A can be lightened, and the second screen B is kept in a screen-off state; when the camera in the second screen A area detects the sight of the user, the second screen B can be lightened, and the first screen A is kept in a screen-off state. In some application scenarios, it is possible that two users use the electronic device simultaneously, i.e., a first user uses the first screen a and a second user uses the second screen B. At this time, when the camera located in the first screen a region and the camera located in the second screen B region both detect the line of sight of the user, the first screen a and the second screen B may be simultaneously lighted, and a specific application scenario may refer to fig. 9.

Further, an application identifier of the application displayed in a mirror image mode can be recorded in the electronic device. When the electronic equipment is placed in the second placing posture, the camera located in the first screen area and the camera located in the second screen area detect the sight of the user, and the application currently running on the electronic equipment belongs to the application of mirror image display, the electronic equipment can display the interface content presented by the first screen A in the second screen B in a mirror image mode while lightening the first screen A and the second screen B; or the interface content presented by the second screen B is mirrored in the first screen A.

As can be seen from the embodiment shown in fig. 8, unlike the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the present embodiment adds a step of detecting user information and simultaneously controlling the screen to be turned on or off based on the user information and the placement posture information of the electronic device. Therefore, when the placing posture of the electronic equipment is the first placing posture, the second placing posture or the fifth placing posture, the screen area used by the user can be determined more accurately, and the user experience is improved.

In order to facilitate a more accurate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following further describes the application through a specific application scenario.

First, a folding screen in an electronic device is in a folded state. After the user operates the foldable screen, the sensor devices in the first screen a and the second screen B may respectively detect the change of the three-axis component. At this time, the electronic device may determine the current folded state based on the data collected by the sensor device. When the electronic equipment determines that the current folded state is the semi-folded state, the current placing posture of the electronic equipment can be further determined based on the three-axis component data of the first screen A and the second screen B acquired by the sensor. When the electronic device determines that the current placement posture of the electronic device is the fifth placement posture shown in fig. 6e, the electronic device may further determine whether the line of sight of the user is detected by using the infrared sensor located in the first screen a area and the infrared sensor located in the second screen B area. When the electronic equipment detects that the first screen A and the second screen B both have the user sight line based on the data collected by the infrared sensor, the currently running application can be further determined. When the electronic device detects that the currently running application is a chess application as shown in fig. 9, the contents of the first screen a and the second screen B may be presented in a mirror image, i.e., as shown in fig. 9.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, when the screen of the electronic device is the fold-in screen, in the half-folded state, the placing posture included in the electronic device is one of the third placing posture, the fourth placing posture, the sixth placing posture and the eighth placing posture; when the screen of the electronic equipment is the folded screen, in a semi-folded state, the placing posture included by the electronic equipment is one of the first placing posture, the second placing posture, the fifth placing posture and the seventh placing posture; when the screen of the electronic device is a 360-degree folding screen, in a half-folded state, the placing posture included in the electronic device is one of the first placing posture, the second placing posture, the third placing posture, the fourth placing posture, the fifth placing posture, the sixth placing posture, the seventh placing posture and the eighth placing posture.
