Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for controlling a flexible screen according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is applied to a mobile terminal having a bendable flexible screen, as shown in fig. 1, including the following steps:
step 101, when the flexible screen is detected to be in a bending state and comprises a first sub display screen and a second sub display screen which are adjacent, a bending area in a target sub display screen is obtained.
In the embodiment of the invention, the mobile terminal can detect whether the flexible screen is in the bending state through the sensing assembly (such as a force sensor) arranged on the flexible screen, and when the mobile terminal detects that the flexible screen is in the bending state and the bent flexible screen at least comprises the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen which are adjacent, the mobile terminal can acquire the bending area of the target sub-display screen, namely at least one sub-display screen in the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen.
Optionally, if the bending region is a region of the flexible screen that deforms due to bending stress, the bending region in the target sub-display screen is obtained by detecting, by the mobile terminal, a bending force borne by each position point between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen through the sensing assembly, and determining an extension line where a position point with the largest bending force is located as a bending center line between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen; obtaining the width of a preset bending area in the mobile terminal, and if the target sub-display screen is a first sub-display screen or a second sub-display screen, determining an area, extending from a bending center line to the preset width of the bending area, in the target sub-display screen as the bending area; and if the target sub-display screen is a first sub-display screen and a second sub-display screen, determining areas, which are respectively extended from the bending central line by preset bending area widths, in the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen as the bending areas.
In addition, the flexible screen may be bent into at least two sub-display screens, and the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen may be any two adjacent sub-display screens of the at least two sub-display screens, for example: as shown in fig. 2, the flexible panel may be bent into three sub-panels, the first sub-panel and the second sub-panel may be a sub-panel a1 and a sub-panel a2, and the bending center line between the first sub-panel and the second sub-panel is a line B1; alternatively, the first sub-display and the second sub-display may be the sub-display a2 and the sub-display A3, and a bending center line between the first sub-display and the second sub-display is the line B2, which is not limited herein.
Of course, the target sub-display screen may be determined by the mobile terminal according to the received operation input by the user, for example: when the flexible screen of the mobile terminal is bent into the sub-display screen a1 and the sub-display screen a2, prompt information indicating whether to turn on the sub-display screen a1 and the sub-display screen a2 for preventing the false touch can be displayed in the sub-display screen a1 or the sub-display screen a2, and if the mobile terminal receives the false touch prevention function of turning on the sub-display screen a1 and the false touch prevention function of not turning on the sub-display screen a2, the mobile terminal determines the sub-display screen a1 as a target sub-display screen.
And 102, setting the bending area in the target sub-display screen as an inoperable area.
In the embodiment of the present invention, if the bending region in the target sub-display is determined instep 101, the mobile terminal may lock the screen portion corresponding to the bending region, so that the screen portion corresponding to the bending region enters the screen-saving state, and when a user inputs an operation in the bending region in the screen-saving state, the mobile terminal does not respond to the input operation, thereby setting the bending region as an inoperable region, avoiding the user from performing a misoperation in the bending region, and reducing a misoperation caused by mistakenly touching the flexible screen during the process of using the mobile terminal by the user.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may be any mobile terminal provided with a flexible screen, for example: a Mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), or the like.
In the control method of the flexible screen, if the flexible screen is detected to be in a bent state and the flexible screen comprises a first sub-display screen and a second sub-display screen which are adjacent, a bent area in a target sub-display screen is obtained, wherein the target sub-display screen is the first sub-display screen and/or the second sub-display screen; and setting the bending area in the target sub-display screen as an inoperable area, wherein the inoperable area is an area which does not respond to the touch operation received in the area. Therefore, the mobile terminal can set the bending area in the target sub-display screen formed by bending into an area which does not respond to touch operation, so that misoperation caused by mistakenly touching the flexible screen in the process of using the mobile terminal by a user can be reduced.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a control method of a flexible screen according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, including the following steps:
step 301, if the flexible screen is detected to be in a bent state and the flexible screen comprises a first sub display screen and a second sub display screen which are adjacent to each other, obtaining a bent area in a target sub display screen.
The implementation process and beneficial effects of this step can be referred to the description instep 101, and are not described herein again.
The target sub-display screen is the first sub-display screen or the second sub-display screen, or may be the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen, which is not limited herein.
Optionally,step 301 may include: if the flexible screen is detected to be in a bent state and comprises a first sub display screen and a second sub display screen which are adjacent, detecting an included angle between the first sub display screen and the second sub display screen; if the included angle between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen is smaller than or equal to a preset angle threshold value, a bending area in the target sub-display screen is obtained, and an inoperable identifier is set in the bending area.
In this embodiment, the mobile terminal can detect an included angle between the first sub display screen and the second sub display screen which are adjacent to each other when the flexible screen is in a bent state, the included angle is an included angle on a non-display side between the first sub display screen and the second sub display screen, and the included angle between the first sub display screen and the second sub display screen is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees. If the included angle between the first sub display screen and the second sub display screen is smaller than or equal to the preset angle threshold value, the electronic equipment acquires the bending area in the target sub display screen, and therefore the bending area in the target sub display screen can be set to be the non-operable area in time.
For example: as shown in fig. 4a, a flexible screen of the mobile terminal may be bent to form a sub-display a4 and a sub-display a5, and when the mobile terminal detects that an included angle α between the sub-display a4 and the sub-display a5 is less than or equal to a preset angle threshold of 45 °, if the mobile terminal determines the sub-display a4 as a target sub-display, the mobile terminal obtains a bending region B3 in the sub-display a 4.
In addition, when the mobile terminal determines the bending area, the inoperable identifier can be arranged in the bending area, so that the user can be prompted to do not perform input operation through the inoperable identifier, and misoperation is reduced.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the obtaining of the bending area in the target sub-display screen may be that the mobile terminal determines, as the bending area, an area in the target sub-display screen, where a bending center line between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen extends by a preset width.
Further optionally, the step of obtaining the bending region in the target sub-display screen if the included angle between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen is smaller than or equal to a preset angle threshold may include: if the included angle between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen is smaller than or equal to a preset angle threshold value, determining a target width value corresponding to the included angle between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen according to the corresponding relation between the preset included angle and the width value; if the target sub-display screen is the first sub-display screen or the second sub-display screen, determining a first parallel line which is parallel to a bending central line and is spaced by the target width value in the target sub-display screen, and determining an area between the bending central line and the first parallel line as the bending area, wherein the bending central line is an intersection line between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen; if the target sub-display screen is the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen, determining a second parallel line parallel to the bending central line in the first sub-display screen and a third parallel line parallel to the bending central line in the second sub-display screen, and determining an area between the second parallel line and the bending central line and an area between the third parallel line and the bending central line as the bending area, wherein the distance between the second parallel line and the bending central line is equal to the target width value.
In this embodiment, because the contained angle between first sub-display screen and the sub-display screen of second is different, the size difference in the region that takes place the maloperation easily in first sub-display screen or the sub-display screen of second, for example: the larger the included angle between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen is, the larger the region easy to perform misoperation is, the larger the target width value corresponding to the included angle between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen can be determined by the mobile terminal, and the bending region corresponding to the target width value is determined in the target sub-display screen, so that the region with the proper size can be determined to be the bending region, and the capability of reducing misoperation caused by mistakenly touching the flexible screen by a user by the mobile terminal is further improved.
The target sub-display may be an operation of a user received by the mobile terminal, and the sub-display corresponding to the received operation is determined as the target sub-display, for example: as shown in fig. 4a, the mobile terminal receives an operation of a user to turn on the anti-false touch mode of the sub-display a4, and the mobile terminal determines the sub-display a4 as the target sub-display.
Or, optionally,step 301 may include: if the flexible screen is detected to be in a bent state and comprises a first sub display screen and a second sub display screen which are adjacent, whether the first sub display screen and the second sub display screen are sub display screens facing a target user is detected; if the first sub-display screen is a sub-display screen facing the target user, determining the first sub-display screen as the target sub-display screen; if the second sub-display screen is a sub-display screen facing the target user, determining the second sub-display screen as the target sub-display screen; and if the first sub display screen and the second sub display screen are the sub display screens facing the target user, determining the first sub display screen and the second sub display screen as the target sub display screen.
In the embodiment, the mobile terminal can detect whether each sub display screen in the flexible screen faces the target user or not when the flexible screen is in the bending state, and determines the sub display screen facing the target user as the target sub display screen, so that the mobile terminal can rapidly determine the target sub display screen, and the bending area of the terminal of the target sub display screen is set as the non-operable area in time, and meanwhile, the operation is convenient and fast and time is saved.
The detecting whether the first sub-display screen is a sub-display screen facing a target user may be whether a face image of the target user is detected in a relative area of the first sub-display screen, and if the face image of the target user is detected, determining that the first sub-display screen is the sub-display screen facing the target user; and when the face image is not detected or the face image is detected but not the face image of the target user, determining that the first sub-display screen is a sub-display screen back to the target user. Of course, the implementation process of detecting whether the second sub-display screen is the sub-display screen facing the target user is similar to the above process, and is not described herein again.
It should be noted that, the detecting whether the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen are the sub-display screens facing the target user may also occur after the mobile terminal determines that an included angle between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen is smaller than or equal to a preset angle threshold, that is, if the mobile terminal determines that the included angle between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen is smaller than or equal to the preset angle threshold, the mobile terminal detects whether the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen are the sub-display screens facing the target user, and determines the target sub-display screen according to a detection result.
Further optionally,step 301 may further include: if only one sub display screen in the first sub display screen and the second sub display screen is detected to be in a state facing the target user, determining the sub display screen in the state facing the target user as a third sub display screen, and determining the sub display screen not in the state facing the target user as a fourth sub display screen; and if the target operation input by the target user is received, adjusting the display content of the third sub-display screen to be displayed in the fourth sub-display screen, and controlling the third sub-display screen to enter a dormant state, wherein the target operation is the operation of adjusting the third sub-display screen to be not in a state of facing the target user and adjusting the fourth sub-display screen to be in a state of facing the target user.
In this embodiment, if the mobile terminal can receive a target operation input by a target user, that is, the third sub-display screen is in a state of facing the target user and is adjusted to a state of not facing the target user, and the fourth sub-display screen is adjusted to a state of facing the target user from the state of not facing the target user, the mobile terminal can push the display content in the third sub-display screen to the fourth sub-display screen for display in time, so that the display content displayed by the mobile terminal to the target user can be maintained, and the display effect of the mobile terminal is prevented from being affected; in addition, the third sub-display screen is controlled to enter the dormant state, so that the power consumption of the mobile terminal can be saved, and the cruising ability of the mobile terminal is improved.
For example: as shown in fig. 4b, if the sub-panel a4 is the sub-panel facing the target user, i.e. the third sub-panel, and the sub-panel a5 is the sub-panel not facing the target user, i.e. the fourth sub-panel, when the mobile terminal receives a target operation input by a user, i.e. the sub-panel a4 is adjusted to the sub-panel not facing the target user, and the sub-panel a5 is adjusted to the sub-panel facing the target user, as shown in fig. 4c, the mobile terminal may push the content displayed in the sub-panel a4 to the sub-panel a5 for display, and control the sub-panel a4 to enter the sleep state.
Of course, when the flexible screen of the mobile terminal is bent into more than two sub-display screens, if the mobile terminal receives a target operation, the mobile terminal may also control the transition of the content displayed in the sub-display screen facing the target user, for example: as shown in fig. 2, if the flexible screen of the mobile terminal can be bent into the sub-display a1, the sub-display a2 and the sub-display A3, and the sub-display a1 and the sub-display a2 are sub-displays in a state of facing the target user, and the sub-display A3 is a sub-display in a state of not facing the sub-display of the target user, when the mobile terminal detects a flip operation input by the target user, that is, the sub-screen a1 is adjusted to be a sub-screen in a state of not facing the target user, and the sub-screen A3 is adjusted to be a sub-screen in a state of facing the target user, and the sub-screen a2 is still the sub-screen in a state of facing the target user, the mobile terminal adjusts the content displayed in the sub-screen a1 to be displayed in the sub-screen a2, and the content displayed in the sub-display A2 is adjusted to be displayed in the sub-display A3, and the sub-display A1 is controlled to enter the screen-off state.
And 302, displaying the display content of the bending area in an area except the bending area in the target sub-display screen.
In the embodiment of the present invention, if the bending region in the target sub-display screen is determined instep 301, the mobile terminal may display the display content of the bending region in the region of the target sub-display screen other than the bending region, so as to reduce the influence on the user in the process of browsing the display content in the target sub-display screen and avoid reducing the display effect of the mobile terminal.
The displaying of the display content of the bending region in the region other than the bending region in the target sub-display may be compressing the display width of the display content in the target sub-display to the display width of the region other than the bending region, and displaying all the display content in the region other than the bending region.
In addition, the inoperable mark may be set in the bending area, and a color, a pattern, or the like may be set in the bending area, so that the user is prompted not to operate in the bending area.
Step 303, setting the bending area as the inoperable area.
In this embodiment of the present invention, if the display content of the bending region is displayed in the region other than the bending region in the target sub-display instep 302, the mobile terminal may set the bending region as an inoperable region that does not respond when receiving an operation.
According to the control method of the flexible screen, the display content of the bending area is displayed in the area except the bending area in the target sub-display screen, and an inoperable mark is arranged in the bending area; setting the bending region as the inoperable region. Therefore, the mobile terminal reduces the influence on the user in the process of browsing the content in the target sub-display screen, and the display effect of the mobile terminal is prevented from being reduced.

Theuser input unit 1107 may be used to receive input numeric or character information and generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the mobile terminal. Specifically, theuser input unit 1107 includes atouch panel 11071 andother input devices 11072. Thetouch panel 11071, also referred to as a touch screen, may collect touch operations by a user on or near the touch panel 11071 (e.g., operations by a user on or near thetouch panel 11071 using a finger, a stylus, or any other suitable object or attachment). Thetouch panel 11071 may include two portions of a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the touch direction of a user, detects a signal brought by touch operation and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch sensing device, converts the touch information into touch point coordinates, and sends the touch point coordinates to theprocessor 1110, and receives and executes commands sent from theprocessor 1110. In addition, thetouch panel 11071 may be implemented by various types, such as a resistive type, a capacitive type, an infrared ray, and a surface acoustic wave. Theuser input unit 1107 may includeother input devices 11072 in addition to thetouch panel 11071. In particular, theother input devices 11072 may include, but are not limited to, a physical keyboard, function keys (e.g., volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, and a joystick, which are not described in detail herein.
Further, thetouch panel 11071 can be overlaid on thedisplay panel 11061, and when thetouch panel 11071 detects a touch operation thereon or nearby, the touch operation is transmitted to theprocessor 1110 to determine the type of the touch event, and then theprocessor 1110 provides a corresponding visual output on thedisplay panel 11061 according to the type of the touch event. Although thetouch panel 11071 and thedisplay panel 11061 are shown in fig. 11 as two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, in some embodiments, thetouch panel 11071 and thedisplay panel 11061 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, and is not limited herein.
