Background

The flexible screen includes a screen type such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), which is lighter in volume and better in flexibility based on its characteristics of being bendable as compared with the conventional screen. Along with popularization of mobile equipment applications such as mobile phones, demands of people for large-screen mobile phones are becoming stronger, but large-screen mobile phones have a significant problem of inconvenient carrying, so that a folding-screen mobile phone with an extensible and deformable screen becomes a main direction for improving carrying convenience.

Currently, some manufacturers have applied flexible screens to electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers. As shown in fig. 1, a user can fold a screen when using a mobile phone having a flexible screen, making the mobile phone more flexible and portable. Currently, when a user plays a game by using a folding screen mobile phone, if the user switches the flexible screen from one physical form to another physical form, the sudden visual field of the game may be narrowed due to the change of the proportion of the screen. For some combat games, narrowing the field of view may cause the user to lose the game, resulting in a poor game experience for the user.

In other embodiments of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may also use different interfacing manners, or a combination of multiple interfacing manners in the above embodiments.

The charge management module 140 is configured to receive a charge input from a charger. The charger can be a wireless charger or a wired charger. In some wired charging embodiments, the charge management module 140 may receive a charging input of a wired charger through the USB interface 130.

Processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or change display information. In an embodiment of the present application, a display and a touch device may be included in the flexible screen 301. The display is used to output display content to a user and the touch device is used to receive touch events entered by the user on the flexible screen 301.

As shown in fig. 3A (a), the flexible screen 301 may be displayed as a complete display area in the unfolded state. The user may fold the screen along one or more fold axes in the flexible screen 301. The position of the folding axis may be preset, or may be arbitrarily selected by the user in the flexible screen 301.

As shown in (b) of fig. 3A, after the user folds the flexible screen 301 along the folding axis AB of the flexible screen 301, the display interface of the mobile phone 100 may be divided into two display interfaces along the AB folding axis, namely, the display interface 1 and the display interface 2. In the embodiment of the present application, the folded display interface 1 and the folded display interface 2 may be displayed as two independent display areas. For example, the display interface 1 may be referred to as a main screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 may be referred to as a sub-screen of the mobile phone 100. The display areas of the main screen and the sub-screen may be the same or different. Alternatively, the display interface 1 may be referred to as a large screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 may be referred to as a small screen of the mobile phone 100. Alternatively, the display interface 1 may be referred to as an inner screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 may be referred to as an outer screen of the mobile phone 100.

In the following, the display interface 1 is referred to as a main screen of the mobile phone 100, and the display interface 2 is referred to as a sub-screen of the mobile phone 100.

It should be noted that, after the user folds the flexible screen 301 along the folding axis AB, the main screen and the auxiliary screen may be disposed opposite to each other, or the main screen and the auxiliary screen may also deviate from each other. As shown in fig. 3A (c), after the user folds the flexible screen 301, the main screen and the sub-screen are away from each other, and at this time, the main screen and the sub-screen are exposed to the external environment, so that the user can use the main screen to display, and can use the sub-screen to display.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3A (c), after the user folds the flexible screen 301, the screen of the folded portion (may also be referred to as a side screen) may also be used as an independent display interface, where the flexible screen 301 is divided into three independent display interfaces, namely, a main screen, a sub-screen, and a side screen.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3B, the flexible screen 301 has a size 2480 x 2200 (in pixels) with a screen ratio of 8:7.1. Wherein the width of the folding axis AB on the flexible screen 301 is 166. After folding along the folding axis AB, the area with the size 2480×1144 (in pixels) on the right side of the flexible screen 301 and the screen ratio of 19.5:9 is divided into a main screen, and the area with the size 2480×890 (in pixels) on the left side of the flexible screen 301 and the screen ratio of 25:9 is divided into a sub-screen. At this time, the folding axis AB of 2480×166 may serve as a side screen. It should be understood that the folding axes referred to herein are for ease of understanding only and that the folding axes may also be formed as fold strips or demarcation strips or the like, and are not limited in this context.

Referring to fig. 4, when the user folds the flexible screen 301, the divided primary and secondary screens form an angle therebetween. In an embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may calculate an included angle between the main screen and the sub-screen according to data detected by one or more sensors.

For example, a gyroscope and an acceleration sensor may be provided on the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 of the cellular phone 100, respectively. The gyroscope on the main screen 41 may detect a rotational angular velocity of the main screen 41 when it is rotated, and the acceleration sensor on the main screen 41 may detect an acceleration generated when the main screen 41 is moved. Further, the mobile phone 100 can determine the magnitude and direction of the gravity G according to the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor on the main screen 41. Similarly, the mobile phone 100 can determine the magnitude and direction of the gravity G according to the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor on the secondary screen 42. Or if the magnitude and direction of the gravity G can be detected using the sensor a, the sensor a may be provided on the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42, respectively. For example, the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor may be integrated into one sensor provided on the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42, respectively.

As shown in fig. 4, the main screen 41 and the sub screen 42 may be provided with corresponding coordinate systems. For example, a Cartesian coordinate system O1 may be provided in the secondary screen 42, with the x-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system O1 being parallel to the shorter side of the secondary screen 42 and the y-axis being parallel to the longer side of the secondary screen 42, and the z-axis being directed out of the secondary screen 42 perpendicular to a plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis. Likewise, a Cartesian coordinate system O2 may be provided in the main screen 41, with the x-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system O2 being parallel to the shorter side of the main screen 41 and the y-axis being parallel to the longer side of the main screen 41, and the z-axis being directed into the main screen 41 perpendicular to the plane of the x-axis and the y-axis.

Illustratively, the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor in the secondary screen 42 may detect the magnitude and direction of the gravity G in the cartesian coordinate system O1, and the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor in the primary screen 41 may detect the magnitude and direction of the gravity G in the cartesian coordinate system O2. Since the cartesian coordinate system O1 has the same orientation as the y-axis in the cartesian coordinate system O2, the component G1 of the gravity G in the x-axis and z-axis planes in the cartesian coordinate system O1 is equal in magnitude but different in direction from the component G2 of the gravity G in the x-axis and z-axis planes in the cartesian coordinate system O2. At this time, the included angle between the component G1 and the component G2 is the included angle between the cartesian coordinate system O1 and the cartesian coordinate system O2, and is also the included angle β between the secondary screen 42 and the primary screen 41.

Therefore, the mobile phone 100 calculates the included angle β between the secondary screen 42 and the primary screen 41 by calculating the included angle between the component G1 of the gravity G in the cartesian coordinate system O1 and the component G2 of the gravity G in the cartesian coordinate system O2. It will be appreciated that the angle β between the primary screen 41 and the secondary screen 42 is within a closed interval of 0 to 180 °.

For example, as shown in fig. 5A (a), when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is greater than a first threshold value (e.g., 170 °), the cellular phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the unfolded state. As shown in (b) of fig. 5A, when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is smaller than the second threshold value (for example, 20 °), the cellular phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the folded state. Still alternatively, as shown in fig. 5A (c), when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is within a preset interval (for example, between 40 ° and 60 °), the mobile phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the stand state. In the embodiment of the present application, the physical form of the flexible screen 301 may be divided into an expanded state and a non-expanded state, and the physical form of the flexible screen 301 other than the expanded state may be referred to as the non-expanded state. For example, the stent state and the folded state described above both belong to a non-expanded state.

Correspondingly, as shown in fig. 5B (a), when the included angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is greater than a first threshold value (e.g., 170 °), the mobile phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the unfolded state. As shown in (B) of fig. 5B, when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is smaller than the second threshold value (for example, 20 °), the cellular phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the folded state. Still alternatively, as shown in fig. 5B (c), when the angle β between the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 is within a preset interval (for example, between 40 ° and 60 °), the mobile phone 100 may determine that the flexible screen 301 is in the stand state.

The mobile phone may determine the state of the flexible screen 301 by providing the gyro sensor and the acceleration sensor on the mobile phone 100, and the state of the flexible screen 301 may also be determined by other manners, for example, by providing a gravity sensor and an acceleration sensor on the mobile phone, and the manner of determining the state of the flexible screen 301 according to the embodiment of the present application is not limited in any way.

In an embodiment of the present application, the cellular phone 100 may illuminate one of the main screen 41 and the sub-screen 42 when the flexible screen 301 is in a folded state or a stand state. For example, the cell phone 100 may illuminate the home screen 41 or the cell phone 100 may illuminate a screen closer to the user. If the mobile phone 100 lights the main screen 41, after detecting the operation of opening the game application by the user, the mobile phone 100 can display the display interface of the corresponding game application through the main screen 41, at this time, the pixel size on the main screen 41 can be 2480X 1144, when the user switches the flexible screen 301 from the folded state or the bracket state to the unfolded state in the game playing process, the mobile phone 100 can light the main screen 41 and the auxiliary screen 42 as a complete display screen, at this time, the pixel size on the large screen can be 2480X 2200, compared with the previous interface for displaying the game application on the main screen 41, the visual field range in the X direction is kept unchanged, the visual field range in the Y direction is expanded, thereby realizing the expansion of the game visual field area, or the visual field range in the X direction is cut, the visual field range in the Y direction is expanded, and the cut of the visual field range in the X direction can be compensated through the expansion of the visual field range in the Y direction, thereby ensuring that the visual field area in the process of switching from the main screen display to the large screen display is basically kept unchanged, and the game fairness is ensured.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the interface of the game application may be displayed through the display interface 1 in the main screen display state, the window of the display interface 1 includes a long side and a short side, and the interface of the game application may be displayed through the flexible screen in the large screen display state, and the window in the flexible screen full screen display state includes a long side and a short side. The X direction can be the direction of the long side of the display interface 1 or the direction of the long side of the flexible screen in full screen display, and the Y direction can be the direction of the short side of the display interface 1 or the direction of the short side of the flexible screen in full screen display.

In one embodiment, the size of the long side of the display interface 1 and the size of the long side when the flexible screen is displayed full screen may be the same. Or the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the display interface 1 and the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the flexible screen in full-screen display may be the same. As shown in fig. 3B, the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the display interface 1 is 2480, and the pixel value corresponding to the long side when the flexible screen is displayed in full screen is 2480.

In one embodiment, the size of the short side of the display interface 1 is smaller than the size of the short side when the flexible screen is displayed full screen. Or the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the display interface 1 is smaller than the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the flexible screen in full screen display, or the ratio of the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the display interface 1 to the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the flexible screen in full screen display is smaller than 1. As shown in fig. 3B, the pixel value corresponding to the short side of the display interface 1 is 1144, and the pixel value corresponding to the long side of the flexible screen in full-screen display is 2200.

For example, the X direction may be a direction corresponding to a long side of the main screen or the large screen, and the Y direction may be a direction corresponding to a short side of the main screen or the large screen. For example. The pixel ratio of the length to the width in the main screen state is 19.5:9, wherein the X direction is the direction corresponding to 19.5, and the Y direction is the direction corresponding to 9. For example, the pixel ratio of the length to the width in the large screen state is 8:7.1, wherein the X direction is the direction corresponding to 8, and the Y direction is the direction corresponding to 7.1. Alternatively, the X direction is the direction in which the side having a larger number of pixels is located, and the Y direction is the direction in which the side having a smaller number of pixels is located.

It should also be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the visual field range is related to the visual picture in the interface of the game application, and expanding the visual field range in the Y direction may be understood as having more content or information displayed in the Y direction and being richer.

For example, when photographing, the shutter is opened, light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens, the optical signal is converted into an electric signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electric signal to the ISP for processing and is converted into an image visible to naked eyes. ISP can also optimize the noise, brightness and skin color of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure, color temperature and the like of a shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be provided in the camera 193.

The photosensitive element may be a charge coupled device (charge coupled device, CCD) or a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then transferred to the ISP to be converted into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard RGB, YUV, or the like format. In some embodiments, the cell phone 100 may include 1 or N cameras 193, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

The motor 191 may generate a vibration cue. The motor 191 may be used for incoming call vibration alerting as well as for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations acting on different applications (e.g., photographing, audio playing, etc.) may correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The motor 191 may also correspond to different vibration feedback effects by touch operations applied to different areas of the flexible screen 301. Different application scenarios (such as time reminding, receiving information, alarm clock, game, etc.) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect may also support customization.

In some embodiments, the handset 100 employs an eSIM, i.e., an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the handset 100 and cannot be separated from the handset 100.

The software system of the mobile phone 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the application, taking an Android system with a layered architecture as an example, a software structure of the mobile phone 100 is illustrated.

Fig. 6A is a software architecture block diagram of the mobile phone 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with distinct roles and branches. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Zhuoyun rows (Android runtime) and system libraries, and a kernel layer, respectively.

The application layer may include a series of application packages.

As shown in fig. 6A, applications such as cameras, gallery, calendar, call, map, game, bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc. may be installed in the application layer.

The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and programming framework for the application of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions.

As shown in fig. 6A, the application framework layer may include a display policy management service, a Power Management Service (PMS), a display management service (DISPLAY MANAGER SERVICE, DMS). Of course, an activity manager, a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, etc. may also be included in the application framework layer, which is not limited in any way by the embodiments of the present application.

The display policy management service can be used for acquiring the specific physical form of the current flexible screen from the underlying display system. Further, the display policy management service may determine the display parameters according to a specific physical form of the flexible screen. For example, the display parameters may include a view display size in the X-direction or Y-direction under the main screen, a view display size in the X-direction or Y-direction under the sub-screen, a view display size in the X-direction or Y-direction under the large screen, and the like.

When the mobile phone detects that a user starts a non-combat game (or a combat game without view fairness constraint on the game) and the flexible screen of the mobile phone is in a folded state or a support state, the view range of the game interface displayed on the main screen in the X direction is a first view range, and the view range in the Y direction is a second view range; when the mobile phone detects that the flexible screen is in a folded state or the support state is changed into an unfolded state, the mobile phone can keep the visual field range in the X direction unchanged while lighting the large screen, so that the visual field range in the Y direction is widened into a third visual field range, and the third visual field range is larger than the second visual field range. After the large screen display is switched, the field of view area of the game displayed on the whole large screen is increased compared with that of the game displayed on the main screen, and the game experience of a user during game playing is improved.

When the mobile phone detects that a user starts a fight game with a view fairness constraint on the game, and the flexible screen of the mobile phone is in a folded state or a support state, the view range of the game interface displayed on the main screen in the X direction is a fourth view range, and the view range in the Y direction is a fifth view range; when the mobile phone detects that the flexible screen is in a folded state or the support state is changed into an unfolded state, the mobile phone can reduce the visual field range in the X direction to a sixth visual field range while lighting the large screen, and widen the visual field range in the Y direction to a seventh visual field range, wherein the fourth visual field range is larger than the sixth visual field range, and the fifth visual field range is smaller than the seventh visual field range. After the display is switched to the large screen display, the visual field area of the game displayed on the whole large screen is basically unchanged compared with that of the game displayed on the main screen, and on the premise that the game fairness is guaranteed, the widening of the visual field range in the Y direction is beneficial to improving the game experience of a user during game playing.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, for the display parameters of the combat game or the non-combat game on the main screen, the auxiliary screen or the large screen may be issued to the mobile phone by the game server, and the display policy management service may determine which display parameter to use according to the specific physical form of the flexible screen, so as to notify the Display Management Service (DMS) of the corresponding display parameter. The DMS may display on the flexible screen through surfaceflinger and display drivers. As also shown in fig. 6A, the system libraries and kernel layers below the application framework layer, etc. may be referred to as an underlying system that includes an underlying display system for providing display services, e.g., the underlying display system includes display drivers in the kernel layer and surface manager in the system libraries, etc. In addition, the underlying system in the application also comprises a state monitoring service for identifying the physical form change of the flexible screen, wherein the state monitoring service can be independently arranged in the underlying display system or can be arranged in a system library and/or a kernel layer.

For example, the condition monitoring service may invoke a sensor service (sensor service) to initiate a sensor such as a gyroscope, acceleration sensor, etc. to detect. The state monitoring service can calculate the included angle between the current main screen and the auxiliary screen according to the detection data reported by each sensor. Thus, the state monitoring service can determine that the flexible screen is in the physical forms of an unfolding state, a folding state or a bracket state and the like through the included angle between the main screen and the auxiliary screen. And, the state monitoring service may report the determined physical form to the display policy management service.

Similar to FIG. 6A, FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram of the data flow within the android operating system. The gyroscope and the acceleration sensor of the hardware layer may report the detected data to the sensor driver, which reports the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor to the state monitoring service through the sensor service, and the sensor driver may report the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor through a configuration change (config changes) message, for example. The state monitoring service can determine the included angle between the main screen and the auxiliary screen according to the data detected by the gyroscope and the acceleration sensor, and further determine the physical form of the flexible screen. Furthermore, the state monitoring service can report the determined physical form of the mobile phone flexible screen to the display strategy management service, and the display strategy management service decides the display parameters on the current flexible screen. The display policy management service may notify a Display Management Service (DMS) of the determined display parameters. Taking an example that the mobile phone flexible screen is in a large screen display mode, the DMS can power up the whole flexible screen through surfaceflinger and display drivers and display a game display interface according to corresponding display parameters in the large screen display mode, and the DMS can inform a window management service (window MANAGER SERVICE, WMS) to create corresponding windows on the flexible screen for display.

In one embodiment, when the mobile phone detects that the user clicks on the game application (e.g., APP 3), the mobile phone may communicate with the game server, and the mobile phone may send a mobile phone model to the game server, where the mobile phone model is mainly used to enable the game server to identify whether the mobile phone is a folding screen mobile phone. If the game server judges that the mobile phone is a folding screen mobile phone according to the mobile phone model, game configuration parameters under different flexible screen forms can be issued to the mobile phone, and the game configuration parameters under different forms can be stored in the game application of the due layer.

In another embodiment, when the mobile phone detects that the user clicks on the game application (for example, APP 3), the mobile phone can communicate with the game server, and the mobile phone can send the mobile phone model and the current display state of the current mobile phone flexible screen to the game server. The game server can send game configuration parameters corresponding to the current display state of the flexible screen of the mobile phone to the mobile phone.

For example, when the mobile phone is in a folded state or a stand state, only the main screen on the flexible screen of the mobile phone is lightened, and then the mobile phone can inform the game server that the main screen is in the lightened state. After obtaining the mobile phone model and the current display state of the mobile phone flexible screen, the game server can send the corresponding game configuration parameters under the display state of the main screen to the mobile phone.

When the mobile phone is switched from a folded state or a support state to an unfolded state, the mobile phone flexible screen is switched from a main screen display to a large screen display, and at the moment, the mobile phone can continuously send the display mobile phone model and the current display state of the mobile phone flexible screen to the game server. After receiving the game configuration parameters, the game server can return the corresponding game configuration parameters in the large-screen display state to the mobile phone.

After the mobile phone acquires the game configuration parameters under the corresponding screen form from the game server, the game configuration parameters can be stored in the game application. After determining the physical form of the mobile phone flexible screen, the display policy management service can request the corresponding game configuration parameters from the game application (such as APP 3 in the figure), and the game application issues the corresponding game configuration parameters to the display policy management service. The display policy management service may send the corresponding game configuration parameters to the DMS, which, through surfaceflinger and display drivers, enables display of the game interface on the flexible screen.

Android run time includes a core library and virtual machines. Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and management of the android system.

The core library comprises two parts, wherein one part is a function required to be called by java language, and the other part is an android core library.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used for executing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. Such as surface manager (surface manager), media library (Media Libraries), three-dimensional graphics processing library (e.g., openGL ES), 2D graphics engine (e.g., SGL), etc. The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides a fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. Media libraries support a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, still image files, and the like. The media library may support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc. The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like. The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer at least comprises display drive, camera drive, audio drive, sensor drive, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The following will take a mobile phone as an example of an electronic device, and details a display method of the electronic device with a flexible screen provided by the embodiment of the application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 7 shows a set of graphical user interfaces (GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE, GUI) of the handset, where from fig. 7A to fig. 7D shows the process of the handset flexible screen switching from the home screen display state to the large screen display state when the user plays a combat game (e.g., a queen glory) with a view fairness constraint for the game.

Referring to the GUI shown in fig. 7A, the GUI is a desktop of the mobile phone. At this time, the mobile phone is in a folded state, and the mobile phone can light up a main screen, wherein a mobile phone desktop is displayed on the main screen, and icons of one or more application programs (APP) are included on the mobile phone desktop. Among these icons may be an icon of a browser, an icon of a calculator, an icon of weather, an icon of reading, an icon of an album, and an icon 701 of the game application 1. When the mobile phone detects an operation of clicking the icon 701 by the user, a GUI as shown in fig. 7B may be displayed.

After the game server receives the mobile phone model sent by the mobile phone, if the mobile phone is judged to be a folding screen mobile phone or the mobile phone is judged to have a plurality of screen forms, the server can send game configuration parameters under each screen form to the mobile phone.

For example, table 1 shows display parameters of the server for different display states of the flexible screen of the mobile phone.

TABLE 1

Screen form	Game configuration parameters
		Main screen display state (19.5:9)	Game configuration parameter 1
Auxiliary screen display state (19.5:9)	Game configuration parameter 2
		Large screen display state (8:7.1)	Game configuration parameters 3

The game configuration parameter 1 is used for determining display parameters of an interface of the game application in a main screen display state, wherein the display parameters can determine a visual field range in an X direction and a visual field range in a Y direction in the main screen display state.

The game configuration parameter 2 is used for determining a display parameter of an interface of the game application in the secondary screen display state, wherein the display parameter can determine a visual field range in an X direction and a visual field range in a Y direction in the secondary screen display state.

The game configuration parameter 3 is used to determine a display parameter of an interface of the game application in the large screen display state, wherein the display parameter can determine a visual field range in an X direction and a visual field range in a Y direction in the large screen display state.

The field of view in the X direction in the home screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 1 is larger than the field of view in the X direction in the large screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 3.

The field of view in the Y direction in the home screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 1 is smaller than the field of view in the Y direction in the large screen display state determined by the game configuration parameter 3.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the view range is a relative width, which is used to measure the content or information contained in the X-direction or the Y-direction, and specifically, in the game scene, the view range may be used to measure the number of scenes in the corresponding scene. The fact that the view range in the Y direction in the main screen display state is smaller than the view range in the Y direction in the large screen display state can also be understood as that the number of scenes displayed in the Y direction in the main screen display state is smaller than the number of scenes displayed in the Y direction in the large screen display state, and the fact that the view range in the X direction in the main screen display state is larger than the view range in the X direction in the large screen display state can also be understood as that the number of scenes displayed in the X direction in the main screen display state is larger than the number of scenes displayed in the X direction in the large screen display state.

It should also be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the screen ratio in the secondary screen display state and the primary screen display state may be the same (for example, both are 19.5:9), so that the field of view in the X direction and the Y direction may be the same, the field of view in the secondary screen display state and the primary screen display state may be the same, or the screen ratio in the secondary screen display state and the primary screen display state may be different, so that the field of view in the X direction and the Y direction may be different, and the field of view in the secondary screen display state and the primary screen display state of the combat game with a field of view fairness constraint may be kept substantially unchanged.

It should also be understood that, in addition to determining the display parameters of the interface that displays the game application in the corresponding screen display state, the game configuration parameters in the embodiment of the present application may also determine the display parameters such as the layout of the interface of the game application, the position and spacing of the controls, and so on.

Referring to the GUI shown in FIG. 7B, the GUI is a loading interface for a game. After the mobile phone detects the operation of clicking the control 702 by the user, the mobile phone can display a fight interface of the game. The mobile phone can request the game configuration parameters under each screen form from the server when detecting whether the user opens the game application, or can request the display parameters under the current screen form from the service when the mobile phone determines that the game enters the fight interface. After the mobile phone receives the game configuration parameters in the display state of the main screen, the display strategy management service can acquire the corresponding game configuration parameters and control the flexible screen to display correspondingly.

When the mobile phone detects that the user switches the mobile phone flexible screen from the folded state to the unfolded state, the state monitoring service can acquire data uploaded by the gyroscope sensor and the acceleration sensor in the hardware layer for calculation. When the state detection service determines that the mobile phone flexible screen is in the unfolded state, the state detection service can report to the display policy management service that the mobile phone flexible screen is already in the unfolded state. The display policy management service may continue to request the corresponding display parameters in the expanded state from the application layer's gaming application 1 (e.g., APP 3 in fig. 6B). After the display policy management service obtains the display parameters corresponding to the expanded state from the game application 1, the DMS may be notified of the display parameters, and display of the game interface in the expanded state on the flexible screen is performed by the DMS through surfaceflinger and display drivers.

Referring to the GUI shown in fig. 7D, the GUI is a combat interface for a game with the handset in an expanded state. It can be seen that, compared with the main screen display when the mobile phone is in the folded state, the visual field range in the X direction is smaller, the visual field range in the Y direction is wider, and the visual field expansion area can be as shown in fig. 7D, so that the game visual field area is basically kept unchanged in the process of switching from the main screen to the large screen, and the fairness of the game is ensured.

For the fight game with the view fairness constraint, when the mobile phone is switched from the main screen display state to the large screen display state, the view range in the X direction in the main screen display state is larger than the view range in the X direction in the large screen display state, and the view range in the Y direction in the main screen display state is smaller than the view range in the Y direction in the large screen display state. Thus, the whole field area is basically kept unchanged before and after switching, and the fairness of the game is ensured. Meanwhile, the expansion of the view range in the Y direction can enable the user to see more information, and compared with the view range in FIG. 7C, the view range in the Y direction can enable the user to see scene contents such as sun, white cloud, river and the like. Compared with the visual field range in the Y direction in the main screen display state, the visual field range in the Y direction in the large screen display state increases more contents or information, and therefore user experience of a user in the process of playing the fight game is improved.

Fig. 8 shows a set of GUIs of a mobile phone, in which a process in which a mobile phone flexible screen is switched from a main screen display state to a large screen display state when a user plays another game of combat (e.g., peaceful elite) is shown from fig. 8A to 8B.

Referring to the GUI shown in fig. 8A, the GUI is a display interface of the home screen display of the mobile phone in a folded state. As can be seen from fig. 8A, the player is not aware of the inside of the wall when out of the wall due to the limited view in the Y-direction of the main screen display. At this time, if the user wishes to see the situation in the wall, the mobile phone flexible screen can be changed from the folded state to the unfolded state.

Referring to the GUI shown in fig. 8B, the GUI is a display interface of a large screen display of the mobile phone in an expanded state. Compared with fig. 8A, the view range in the X direction is smaller, and the view range in the Y direction is wider, and the view expansion area can be as shown in fig. 8B, and the user can see the situation in the wall when the mobile phone flexible screen is in the large screen display state, for example, the user can see the house, tree, flower and grass and the like in the wall. Therefore, on the premise of guaranteeing the fairness of the game, the user can see more useful information by increasing the field of view in the Y direction, and the experience of the user when playing the game is improved.

In the embodiment of the application, for the fight game with view fairness constraint, because the view is limited in the Y direction in the main screen state, the user can switch the mobile phone from the folded state to the unfolded state, so that the flexible screen of the mobile phone is switched from the main screen display state to the large screen display state, the view range in the X direction is reduced, but the view in the Y direction is expanded, the view area is basically unchanged in the main screen display state and the large screen display state, the user can conveniently see more fight information in the Y direction, and the user can see the enemy when the enemy cannot see the user, thereby being beneficial to improving the user experience in the game playing process of the user.

It should be understood that when the screen state of the flexible screen of the electronic device is switched from the main screen display state to the large screen display state, the field of view in the X direction is reduced and the field of view in the Y direction is expanded, or the field of view in the X direction is expanded and the field of view in the Y direction is reduced, so that the field of view in the large screen display state and the field of view in the main screen display state are kept unchanged basically.

The above description is made of the change in the game field in the main screen display state and the large screen display state when the user plays the fight game with fairness constraint on the game field by using fig. 7A to 7D and fig. 8A to 8B. For the fight game with fairness constraint on the game field of view, because the fairness of the game needs to be ensured, when the flexible screen is switched from the main screen display state to the large screen display state, the field of view in the X direction is reduced, and the field of view in the Y direction is expanded (or compensated), so that the field of view area is ensured to be basically unchanged. The following describes the change of the game field in the main screen display state and the large screen display state when the user plays the non-fight game or the fight game without fairness constraint on the game field.

Fig. 9 shows a set of GUIs of a mobile phone, in which a process in which a mobile phone flexible screen is switched from a home screen display state to a large screen display state when a user plays a non-competitive game (e.g., my world) is shown from fig. 9A to 9B.

Referring to the GUI shown in fig. 9A, the GUI is an interface of a non-fight game displayed on the main screen when the mobile phone is in a folded state. As can be seen from fig. 9A, the player can only see a portion of the tree in front due to the limited view in the Y-direction of the main screen display. At this time, if the user wants to see more conditions in the Y direction, the mobile phone flexible screen can be changed from the folded state to the unfolded state.

Referring to the GUI shown in fig. 9B, the GUI is an interface of a non-combat game displayed on a large screen with the mobile phone in an expanded state. Compared with fig. 9A, the view range in the X direction is kept unchanged, the view range in the Y direction is widened, the view expansion area can be as shown in fig. 9B, and the user can complete the tree when the mobile phone flexible screen is in the large screen display state.

In one embodiment, when the user switches the handset from the unfolded state to the folded state, the flexible screen of the handset may switch from the large screen display state back to the home screen display state in which the field of view in the X-direction remains unchanged and the field of view in the Y-direction becomes smaller.

For non-fight games or fight games without fairness constraint on game fields, when the flexible screen is switched from the main screen state display to the large screen state display, the field of view in the X direction is kept unchanged, and the field of view in the Y direction is expanded.

It should be understood that the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may be applied to combat games and non-combat games, and may also be applied to other applications. For example, the content of the page displayed when the user browses the web page in the home screen display state is small, at this time, the user may switch the electronic device from the home screen display to the large screen display (for example, switch the electronic device from the folded state to the unfolded state), at this time, the content of the page displayed when browsing may be increased compared to the content of the page displayed in the home screen display state, for example, the amount of merchandise information displayed when the user makes an online shopping may be increased. For another example, the user may display less content when browsing the electronic book in the home screen display state, and the content displayed on the entire screen may be increased as compared with in the home screen display state when switching from the home screen display state to the large screen display state.

The GUI provided by the embodiment of the present application is described above with reference to the GUIs in fig. 7A to 9B, and the display method of the electronic device with a flexible screen provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to fig. 10.
