Description

Screen display method, electronic device and readable storage medium

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of intelligent terminals, in particular to a screen display method, electronic equipment and a readable storage medium.

Background

In recent years, a scene of using a mobile terminal is increasing. For example, when a user learns a foreign language using a mobile terminal, the user wants to cover any one of words and translations to achieve a better memory effect; or when a user makes a question, he hopes to cover the answers and the question solutions under the questions, so as to more clearly define the difference between the thought and the answers. In the above scenes, the user usually uses paper to cover the content to be covered manually, so that the method is inconvenient on one hand, and on the other hand, when no paper or other articles which can be used for covering are around, the screen is difficult to cover, so that the real-time performance is poor.

In addition, in public places such as subways, if the user does not want to see part of the content of the screen, such as private information or payment of two-dimensional codes, the user can only protect private information by reducing the brightness of the screen, locking the screen or using the peep-proof screen mobile phone film. However, the peep-proof screen mobile phone film needs to be replaced regularly, a certain cost is required to be consumed, and the screen definition may be affected to reduce the user experience. The screen brightness is reduced, eyes are injured, and the code scanning device is not easy to identify screen contents with lower brightness in a payment scene, so that the code scanning device is inconvenient for a user to use.

Therefore, how to realize convenient covering of a mobile phone screen under various use situations has become a problem to be solved urgently.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application provides a screen display method, electronic equipment and a readable storage medium, wherein a first interface is displayed; detecting a first user operation of a user on a first interface; and responding to the first user operation, and displaying a second interface, wherein the second interface is a display interface for covering at least part of the area of the first interface by adopting a first covering mode corresponding to the first user operation. Therefore, the user can start at least one screen covering mode to complete covering processing of the first interface, privacy information under more using scenes of the electronic equipment can be protected, and the operation is convenient and fast.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a screen display method, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes: displaying a first interface; detecting a first user operation of a user on the first interface; and responding to the first user operation, displaying a second interface, wherein the second interface is a display interface which covers at least part of the area of the first interface by adopting a first covering mode corresponding to the first user operation.

The method comprises the steps that a shortcut control or a shortcut gesture for triggering screen coverage can be preset, at least one corresponding coverage mode is started when user operation on the shortcut control or the shortcut gesture is detected for the first time, and attribute parameters of a coverage layer are determined based on the corresponding coverage mode so as to cover at least part of areas in a first interface. Therefore, the user can start at least one screen covering mode through the shortcut control or the shortcut gesture, privacy information under the use scene of more electronic equipment can be protected, and the operation is convenient.

It will be appreciated that at least one of the above described masking modes may be used to mask all or part of the display area of the screen.

In some embodiments, the covering process of the whole display area of the screen may be implemented using a full screen covering mode, and the covering process of the local display area of the screen may be implemented using a custom covering mode or a picture covering mode. Thus, the electronic device may determine three different coverage modes through the first user operation and generate different coverage layers based on the different coverage modes. The electronic equipment can respond differently based on different covering modes, the covering function of flexibly generating the covering layer based on the user requirement is realized, the operation flow is simplified, the user can be enabled to be familiar with the screen covering operation quickly, and more screen covering scenes can be covered conveniently.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, after displaying the second interface in response to the first user operation, the method further includes: the first interface is displayed in response to the first user operation being detected again.

That is, when the electronic device detects the first user operation again, the covering mode may be exited, and the covering layer is not displayed any more. For example, the user double-finger tap screen may be preset as the first user operation, and when the electronic device detects that the user double-finger taps the screen for the first time, the corresponding screen covering mode may be started. When the electronic device detects that the user double-finger taps the screen for the second time, the covering mode can be exited, for example, the covering layer is deleted, so that the screen does not display the covering layer any more, and other controls of the screen can respond to the user operation conveniently, and operation interference is avoided. Therefore, the target covering layer does not influence the subsequent use of the electronic equipment by the user.

In one possible implementation of the first aspect, displaying, in response to the first user operation, a second interface includes: creating a first layer for covering at least part of the area in the first interface according to a first covering mode corresponding to the first user operation; and synthesizing the first image layer and the first interface, and displaying a second interface for covering at least part of the area in the first interface.

I.e. a first layer corresponding to a first cover mode, which may be any one of a plurality of cover modes, may be created. The first layer may be a covering layer, the first interface may be a current view layer, and the second interface for covering at least a part of the area in the first interface is obtained by combining the covering layer and the current view layer, so that covering processing of the screen according to different covering modes is realized.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, creating, according to a first coverage mode corresponding to a first user operation, a first layer for covering at least a part of an area in a first interface includes: creating a first layer for totally covering the display area on the first interface according to the first covering mode; or creating a first layer for partially covering the display area on the first interface according to the first covering mode.

That is, according to the first covering mode corresponding to the first user operation, the display area on the first interface can be covered completely or partially, so that the user can conveniently conduct covering operation, and the covering operation is simplified.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, creating, according to the first coverage mode, a first layer for completely covering the display area on the first interface includes: determining that the first covering mode is a full-screen covering mode, and creating a first preset layer, wherein the first preset layer is a transparent layer arranged on the top layer, and the size of the first preset layer is adapted to the screen size of the electronic equipment; and acquiring a first color selected by a user, and filling the first preset layer by using the first color to obtain a first layer for completely covering the display area on the first interface.

It is understood that the above-mentioned full-screen covering mode may be to cover the screen full screen. The electronic device may generate a corresponding coverage layer based on the determined coverage pattern. For example, the electronic device may construct a transparent covering layer after detecting the first user operation, and place the transparent covering layer on a top layer, hereinafter referred to as "top-up". The electronic device may then determine a preset location on the transparent masking layer to generate the masking layer based on the determined masking pattern. In order to realize the full screen covering treatment, a full screen covering layer which is suitable for the screen size can be directly arranged on a first preset layer which is transparent and arranged on the top layer, and the filling is carried out based on the color selected by the user, so that a first layer for completely covering the display area on the first interface is obtained, and the full screen covering can be realized.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the creating a first layer for partially covering the display area on the first interface according to the first coverage mode includes any one of the following: creating a first layer for partially covering the display area on the first interface according to the first covering mode and the touch operation of the user on the screen; and creating a first layer for partially covering the display area on the first interface according to the first covering mode and the picture selected by the user.

In some embodiments, the first covering mode includes a custom covering mode and a picture covering mode, in the custom covering mode, a custom covering layer for partially covering the first interface may be created in response to a touch operation of the user on the screen, and in the picture covering mode, a picture covering layer for partially covering the first interface may be created using a picture selected by the user. Thus, various screen covering schemes are provided for users so as to meet covering scenes of various private information.

In one possible implementation of the first aspect, creating a first layer for partially covering the display area on the first interface according to the first covering mode and a touch operation of the screen by a user includes: determining the first covering mode as a user-defined covering mode, and acquiring touch operation of a user on a screen; drawing a second preset layer according to the starting point and the ending point of the touch operation of the user on the screen, wherein the second preset layer is a transparent layer arranged on the top layer; and acquiring a second color selected by the user, and filling a second preset layer by using the second color to obtain a first layer for partially covering the display area on the first interface.

It will be appreciated that the custom coverage mode described above may be for determining a screen coverage layer based on user operation. After the custom coverage mode is started, the sliding operation of the user on the screen is detected, and the custom coverage layer can be generated based on the sliding operation. For example, the user may draw a shape arbitrarily with the position where the user's finger falls as a start point and the position where the finger lifts as an end point, and fill in a preset color, thereby generating the custom mask layer.

It can be appreciated that the user operation of drawing the custom coverage layer pattern in the custom coverage mode may be a preset gesture operation, for example, the user uses a finger joint sliding screen, and then the electronic device may identify the position where the finger joint of the user falls and the position where the finger joint lifts. For another example, the user may define a start point and an end point using a double-click operation and arbitrarily draw a shape with the start point and the end point to generate the custom mask layer.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, creating a first layer for partially covering the display area on the first interface according to the first covering mode and the picture selected by the user includes: determining that the first covering mode is a picture covering mode, and generating a third preset layer, wherein the third preset layer is a transparent layer arranged on the top layer; and acquiring a picture selected by a user, and filling a third preset layer by using the picture to obtain a first layer for partially covering a display area on the first interface.

It will be appreciated that the above-described picture masking mode may complete masking of a specified screen area for retrieving a user-specified picture. For example, after the picture covering mode is started, the picture can be filled into the transparent top-placed picture layer, and the picture covering picture layer is generated, so that a picture covering effect is achieved.

It will be appreciated that the pictures described above may be user-specified pictures, such as photos within an album, web-downloaded pictures, and the like. The pictures may also be preset pictures, which are not limited herein.

It is understood that the transparent designated layer may be a transparent layer at a predetermined position, for example, a transparent layer preset on the top of the screen and having the same size as the screen. When the picture designated by the user or the preset picture is larger than the screen size, the electronic device can locally display the filling picture on the screen, and can also reduce the filling picture to the screen size in an equal proportion so as to finish filling processing, so that a picture covering layer is obtained.

It will be appreciated that the above embodiment of filling the transparent layer with the picture may be implemented based on the needs of the user, for example, filling the transparent layer on top after freely stretching the picture, so as to implement that the partial and/or complete filling of the picture is displayed on the picture covering layer, which is not limited herein.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, after displaying the second interface in response to the first user operation, the method further includes: detecting a second user operation acting on the first layer; updating the attribute parameters of the first layer based on the second user operation to obtain a second layer, wherein the second user operation comprises long-press operation of the user on the covering layer; and synthesizing the updated second layer and the first interface, and displaying a third interface for covering at least part of the area in the first interface.

It will be appreciated that the second user operation may include an operation to initiate a parameter adjustment and an operation to adjust a parameter, and the second user operation acts on the covering layer. For example, the second user operation may be a long press operation on the covering layer by the user, and the modification process on the attribute parameter of the covering layer may be started. So as to determine new attribute parameters based on subsequent user parameter adjustment operations.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, updating the attribute parameter of the first layer based on the second user operation to obtain a second layer includes: and updating the filling color, the size, the position, the layer overlapping sequence and/or the transparency of the first layer based on the second user operation to obtain a second layer.

I.e. the second user operation may initiate a modification of the attribute parameters of the preset masking layer. The electronic device may determine new attribute parameters based on the subsequently detected modified content specified by the second user operation.

In some embodiments, the attribute parameters of the mask layer include, but are not limited to, fill color, size, position, layer overlap order, and transparency.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, updating the transparency of the first layer based on the second user operation includes: starting a fourth interface for updating the transparency of the first layer according to the second user operation; acquiring a user touch operation acting on a designated area of the fourth interface or a transparency control in the fourth interface; and updating the transparency of the first layer according to the touch operation of the user.

I.e., the electronic device initiates modification of the transparency of the first layer in accordance with the second user operation, a transparency control may be initiated to provide the user with access to modify the attribute parameters, e.g., to modify the transparency of the overlay layer. The second user operation may be a sliding operation of the transparency control or a sliding operation acting on a designated area of the fourth interface, and the transparency of the cover layer may be updated based on the sliding operation. For example, determining that the sliding operation is sliding upward may reduce the transparency of the masking layer; while determining that the sliding operation is a downward sliding operation, the transparency of the cover layer may be increased. Therefore, the transparency of the covering layer can be updated in real time by a user, and more covering layer application scenes can be covered. For example, the answers of the questions can be covered when the questions are made, and the transparency of the covering layer can be adjusted after the answers are solved so as to facilitate the answer checking.

In still other embodiments, when the transparency of the covering layer is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the screen function of the covering portion of the covering layer is turned off, preventing the user from erroneously touching the covered screen content in the covering mode. And when the transparency of the covering layer is smaller than a preset threshold value, opening the screen function of the covering part of the covering layer, for example, acquiring the click operation of a user on the originally covered application icon to start the application. When the user wants to perform interactive operation on the screen covering the covering part of the covering layer, the user can keep the interactive function of the covered screen area control while keeping the covering layer with high transparency, so that the user can use the electronic equipment without being influenced by the covering mode, and the user operation is more convenient. Under the use scene of the target covering layer with high transparency, the user is prevented from touching and starting the screen function of the part covered by the covering layer by mistake, so that the target covering layer with low transparency does not influence the use of the electronic equipment by the user, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, detecting a first user operation of the first interface by a user includes any one of: detecting a first preset gesture operation with a corresponding relation with the first covering mode; detecting clicking operation acting on a first preset control, wherein the first preset control is arranged in a shortcut menu of the first interface, and the shortcut menu comprises a drop-down shortcut; and detecting clicking operation acting on a second preset control, wherein the second preset control is arranged in a system shortcut interface, and the system shortcut interface comprises a shortcut interface for calling a screen capturing function.

That is, the first user operation may be a preset shortcut gesture, for example, the preset shortcut gesture may tap the screen for a user knuckle, or the user clicks the screen with a preset number of times and frequency, so as to avoid the situation that the drop-down shortcut causes the exit failure of the covering mode, reduce the use of multiple continuous operations by the user to start or exit the corresponding covering mode, and only need a single gesture to easily start or exit the corresponding covering mode, thereby effectively simplifying the complexity of the user operation.

In other embodiments, the first user operation may be a touch operation for a first preset control in the drop-down shortcut that initiates the first covering mode.

In still other embodiments, the first user operation may be a touch operation for a second preset control in the system shortcut that initiates the first coverage mode.

It will be appreciated that by providing the user with a plurality of access points for activating the first masking mode, user operation may be simplified, facilitating user activation of the masking process for the screen.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, detecting a click operation on the second preset control includes: detecting a second preset gesture operation of waking up a system shortcut, and starting a system shortcut interface, wherein the system shortcut comprises a screen capturing shortcut; and detecting clicking operation of a second preset control on the system shortcut interface by a user.

The electronic device can start the screen capturing shortcut after detecting the preset gesture operation, for example, the user is detected to use the finger joint sliding screen, and the sliding track is closed end to end, so that the electronic device can start the screen capturing shortcut and display a screen capturing shortcut interface. A plurality of controls are provided within the interface, including a second preset control. The second preset control is a starting control of a covering mode, and if the electronic equipment detects click operation of a user on the second preset control, the user-defined covering mode is started so as to generate a covering layer.

In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides an electronic device, including: one or more processors; one or more memories; the one or more memories store one or more programs that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to perform the screen display method provided by the first aspect and various possible implementations.

In a third aspect, embodiments of the present application further provide a computer readable storage medium, where instructions are stored on the storage medium, the instructions when executed on a computer cause the computer to perform the screen display method provided in the first aspect and various possible implementations.

In a fourth aspect, embodiments of the present application also provide a computer program product comprising a computer program/instruction which, when executed by a processor, implements the screen display method provided by the first aspect and various possible implementations.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments of the present application.

Illustrative embodiments of the application include, but are not limited to, screen display methods, electronic devices, computer-readable storage media, and the like.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of an existing operation scene partially displayed on a screen.

Referring to fig. 1, an existing scheme of partial display of a screen is provided, and protection of private information of the screen by a user can be achieved by combining full-screen coverage with partial display. Referring to fig. 1, a control 02 of a partial display mode is provided in a screen drop-down menu bar 01 of a mobile phone 00 for turning on and off the partial display mode. When detecting the user operation 10 of clicking the control 02, the mobile phone 00 confirms that the local display mode is started.

After the partial display mode is turned on, the screen of the mobile phone 00 may exhibit a covering effect as shown in fig. 2a to 2b described below.

Fig. 2a shows a schematic view of the interface effect with the screen fully covered in case the handset 00 starts the partial display mode.

Referring to fig. 2a, after the local display mode is started, when the mobile phone 00 detects the operation 11 of activating the screen by the user, a cover layer 03 is newly built on top of the screen of the mobile phone 00. The top of the screen refers to a part above the layer of the mobile phone 00 screen display interface content, and in some embodiments, the top layer, or the uppermost layer, of the mobile phone 00 screen or the displayed interface may also be described. As shown in fig. 2a, the newly built covering layer 03 can cover the lower side of the newly built covering layer 03, so that the screen of the mobile phone 00 can be completely covered.

Fig. 2b shows a schematic view of the interface effect of the content of the display portion after the mobile phone 00 detects that the transparency of the user's erasing operation is set to 0.

After the new covering layer 03 is formed on the top of the mobile phone 00 screen, the display area on the mobile phone 00 screen can be completely covered by the covering layer. At this time, if the user needs the mobile phone 00 to locally display the contents on a part of the screen, for example, the time on the display screen, the part of the screen to be displayed can be displayed by the erasing operation 12. Referring to fig. 2b, when the mobile phone 00 detects the erasing operation 12 of the user on the screen, the erasing track 04 of the erasing operation 12 of the user can be identified based on the start and end positions of the erasing operation 12, so as to determine the screen content corresponding area 04 designated to be displayed by the user. And further, the covering layer 03 in the area 04 is partially converted into transparent so as to display the screen area required to be displayed by the user. At the moment, the user can view the displayable screen content while covering the screen, so that the user can protect the privacy information contained in the screen.

It can be appreciated that the above-mentioned local display mode for protecting privacy information can only provide a single covering mode, and such a single covering mode cannot adapt to multiple scenes, and the above-mentioned covering mode is also inconvenient for the user to operate. For example, in some privacy preserving scenarios, the user needs to operate to turn on the local display mode, operate the preset control to activate the mode, and then erase the covering layer of the specified area by memory. If the user remembers uncleanly, the covered privacy information is displayed under the erasing operation, the privacy information which the user wants to protect is leaked, and the user cannot select other more suitable covering modes at the moment.

In order to avoid the problem that a single covering mode cannot meet the covering requirement of a user, the embodiment of the application provides a screen display method which is applied to electronic equipment with a screen. Specifically, according to the method, through a shortcut control or a shortcut gesture for triggering screen covering, when user operation on the shortcut control or the shortcut gesture is detected for the first time, at least one corresponding covering mode is started, and attribute parameters of a covering layer are determined based on the corresponding covering mode, so that the covering layer is obtained. Therefore, the user can start at least one screen covering mode through the shortcut control or the shortcut gesture, privacy information under the use scene of more electronic equipment can be protected, and the operation is convenient.

It will be appreciated that at least one of the above-described masking modes may be used to mask all or part of the display area of the screen, where the masking of all of the display area of the screen may be implemented using a full screen masking mode and the masking of part of the display area of the screen may be implemented using a custom masking mode or a picture masking mode.

And under the condition that the electronic equipment starts the corresponding covering mode, a user can also operate and set the pattern of the covering layer on the covering layer displayed by the electronic equipment, for example, the user can set the position, the size, the color, the transparency and other attributes of the covering area of the screen according to the needs, so that the user can carry out various different covering treatments on the optionally appointed display area in the screen, and the user experience is improved. Further, when the transparency of the covering layer is lower than the threshold value, a user can freely operate the covered part of the mobile phone screen, the covering effect of the covering layer cannot be affected, and the reliability of protecting the privacy information of the screen is improved.

It will be appreciated that the above-mentioned attribute parameters include, but are not limited to, size, layer overlap order, fill color, transparency, etc., and the user may be set based on the needs without limitation.

Fig. 3 a-3 b illustrate interface diagrams for invoking a screen mask shortcut control in accordance with some embodiments of the present application.

Referring to operation 30 shown in fig. 3a, the electronic device 100 may detect that the user slides down operation 30 from the top of the screen, and in response to operation 30, may display a shortcut corresponding to the control center.

Referring to fig. 3b, a plurality of regions may be included in a shortcut of a control center. Within region 301 may be included a control 3011 and a control 3012. When the user needs to invoke the screen hiding function, control 3011 can be clicked. At this time, when the electronic device 100 detects a click operation of the control 3011 by the user, a corresponding screen covering function may be started, for example, a full screen covering mode is started. And then, a corresponding covering layer can be generated based on the full-screen covering mode, so that the covering processing of the screen is completed. And when the electronic device 100 detects the clicking operation of the control 3011 again, the activated screen hiding function may be turned off. Therefore, the screen covering function of one-key starting and one-key closing is realized, so that the user operation is simplified, and the user experience is effectively improved.

Further, the user operation can be a specific gesture operation, and the target covering mode can be rapidly determined based on the mapping relation between the specific gesture operation and the target covering mode, so that the operation convenience is improved. For convenience of distinction, in describing a specific implementation procedure of the screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the above user operation may be described as a first user operation, and a setting operation of a user on a covering layer displayed on an electronic device may be described as a second user operation. Reference may be made specifically to the following detailed description, which is not repeated here.

It can be appreciated that the electronic devices to which the above screen display method provided by the embodiments of the present application is applicable may include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, folding screen mobile phones, tablet computers, desktop computers, laptop computers, handheld computers, netbooks, and electronic devices with screens such as augmented Reality (Augmented Reality, AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) devices, smart televisions, smart watches, and the like.

It will be appreciated that the user's data is no longer bound to a single physical device, and that the business logic is separate from the data store.

The distributed soft bus 421 described above allows all devices loaded with the same software system to find different hardware on the distributed soft bus 421. For example, device a may determine via the distributed soft bus 421 that device B is equipped with sound.

The application framework layer 430 can mask the variability of the system service layer 420 and provide a unified interface for the application layer 440, facilitating the migration and deployment of application code.

The application framework layer 430 may include a User Interface (UI) framework 431.

It will be appreciated that the UI framework 431 is a UI programming framework, which is the infrastructure for developing a UI provided for an application developer, and mainly includes UI controls, such as buttons and lists, etc.; view layout, e.g., putting or arranging corresponding UI controls; animation mechanisms, such as animation design and effect presentation; interaction event handling, such as clicking or sliding, and the like, as well as corresponding programming languages and programming models, and the like. From the system running dimension, the UI programming framework also includes a runtime responsible for the resource loading, UI rendering, event response, etc. required by the application when executing in the system.

The application layer 440 may include system applications and third party non-system applications. The system application is a native application of the electronic device 100, and the third-party non-system application is an application when other devices use the native application.

The application layer 440 includes a full screen masking application 441, a custom masking application 442, a picture masking application 443, and a system user interface 444.

In the process of implementing the screen display method provided by the present application, a screen 194 (not shown in the figure) in the hardware layer may detect a touch operation of a user and transmit the detected touch operation signal to the kernel layer 410. The touch operation may be processed as an Input (Input) event via the hardware driver framework 412 in the kernel layer 410 and sent to the event notification subsystem 460 located in the application framework layer 430 and the system services layer 420. The event notification subsystem 460 may distribute the received input event to the system user interface 444 in the application layer 440.

Next, the system user interface 444 may determine the invoked target application based on the input event. In some embodiments, the target applications described above may include a full screen masking application 441, a custom masking application 442, and a picture masking application 443. For example, when the user's input event is clicking on a full screen coverage control, the system user interface 444 may retrieve the input event and invoke a corresponding full screen coverage application 441 based on the input event. The full screen coverage application may send the region information corresponding to the full screen coverage, e.g., screen size information, to the display by invoking interface service 451 of the image subsystem to memory management 453. The display and memory management 453 generates a buffer queue corresponding to the screen size based on the screen size information, and then sends the buffer queue to the rendering service 453 to generate a full-screen coverage layer, and sends the full-screen coverage layer to the display and memory management 453 for composite transmission. Here, the display and memory management 453 may synthesize the full-screen covering layer with the current view layer to obtain the covered user interface. The display and memory manager 453 may send the covered user interface to the system user interface 444 by invoking the hardware driver framework 412, and the system user interface 444 may invoke the interface service provided by the hardware driver framework 412 to complete the sending display, so that the screen 194 displays the user interface after the full-screen covered layer and the current view are combined.

Rendering service 452 may determine attribute parameters for a full-screen overlay layer based on the input event and update the attribute parameters for the overlay layer based on the attribute parameters to obtain a target overlay layer. At this time, the display and memory manager 453 may synthesize the target covering layer to the current view layer, obtain the covered user interface, and send the synthesized user interface to the graphic library 454 to complete the rendering process. Next, the display and memory manager 453 may send the covered user interface to the hardware chip 401 of the hardware layer by calling an interface (not shown) provided by the hardware driver framework 412, so that the system user interface 444 may display the covered user interface on the screen 194 by calling an interface (not shown) provided by the hardware driver framework 412.

Based on the structure of the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 4a and the interaction process in the system architecture shown in fig. 4b, the following detailed description of a specific implementation process of a screen display method according to the present application is provided with reference to specific embodiments and related drawings.

The following describes a specific implementation procedure of a screen display method according to an embodiment of the present application through embodiment 1.

Example 1

Fig. 5 shows a flowchart of a screen display method according to an embodiment of the present application. It can be understood that the execution body of each step of the flowchart shown in fig. 5 may be the electronic device 100 described above, or other electronic devices, and the description of the execution body of a single step will not be repeated.

As shown in fig. 5, the interaction flow includes the following steps:

501: a first user operation to wake up the cover mode is detected.

The first user operation is, for example, a preset user operation for waking up the covering mode, for example, a click operation of a preset shortcut control by a user, or a preset shortcut gesture performed by the user. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may determine the corresponding coverage mode based on the correspondence of the preset user operation and the coverage mode.

502: A determination is made that the first user operation indicates a wake-up cover mode.

Illustratively, the above-described covering modes include, but are not limited to, a full screen covering mode, a custom covering mode, and a picture covering mode. Different coverage modes can be determined by presetting a plurality of different shortcut controls on the electronic device 100, and different coverage modes can be corresponding to different preset shortcut gestures. For example, when the first user operates as a user double-clicking on the screen with the finger joints, waking up a full screen covering mode; when the first user operates the screen with three clicks of the finger joint, the user-defined covering mode is awakened. Different covering modes can cover more covering scenes, so that redundant user operation is effectively reduced, and a user can conveniently use and grasp different covering modes.

It is understood that the above-mentioned full-screen covering mode may be to cover the screen full screen. The custom coverage mode may be to determine a screen coverage layer based on user operation. The above-described picture covering mode may complete the covering process of the specified screen area for calling the picture specified by the user.

It is to be understood that the above three screen covering modes are only examples, and other ways of covering the screen may be included herein, which are not described herein.

It will be appreciated that referring to fig. 1-2 b, in the event that the user desires to turn off the local display mode without revealing other information on the cell phone screen, the user may click control 02 through the drop down menu bar to turn off the local display mode. In this process, the user is likely to fail to pull down once by misoperation, resulting in failure of exiting the partial display mode. Even, the position where the finger slides on the screen becomes transparent, so that the original screen privacy information which the user hopes to hide cannot be protected, and the use will of the user is deviated.

In order to avoid the problem of failure in exiting the covering mode, in some embodiments, the first user operation may be a preset shortcut gesture, for example, the preset shortcut gesture may be a user knuckle tap on the screen 194 or the user clicks on the screen 194 with a preset number of times and frequency, so as to avoid the situation that the drop-down shortcut causes failure in exiting the covering mode, reduce the situation that the user uses multiple continuous operations to start or exit the corresponding covering mode, and only needs a single gesture to easily start or exit the corresponding covering mode, thereby effectively simplifying the complexity of the user operation.

It is to be understood that the preset shortcut gesture may be any manner that can correspondingly determine the covering mode based on the preset shortcut gesture, which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the preset shortcut control described above may be provided in a shortcut of the system user interface 444.

Fig. 6 a-6 b are schematic views of a shortcut scenario of the electronic device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application, so as to further describe the preset shortcut control in detail.

Referring to fig. 6a, a plurality of areas may be included in a shortcut of a control center. Multiple controls may be included within region 601. In some embodiments, the preset controls may include a control 6011 and a control 6012. When a user's click operation 60 on control 6012 is detected, referring to FIG. 6b, a screen-covered shortcut menu 602 may be expanded based on the click operation 60.

With continued reference to fig. 6b, if the electronic device 100 detects a click operation of the control 6012 by the user, the shortcut menu 602 of the screen hiding function may be expanded based on the click operation of the control 6012 by the user. A plurality of preset shortcut controls are provided in the shortcut menu 602, as shown in the figure, the preset shortcut controls may include a control 6021, a control 6022 and a control 6023, wherein the control 6021 may be used for determining a full-screen coverage mode, the control 6022 may be used for determining a custom coverage mode, and the control 6023 may be used for determining a picture coverage mode. If the electronic device 100 detects a click operation of any control in the shortcut menu 602 by the user, the corresponding coverage mode may be determined based on the clicked control.

For example, referring to fig. 6a and 6b, if the electronic device 100 detects a click operation of the control 6021 by the user or detects a click operation of the control 6011 by the user, it may determine that the user starts the full-screen covering mode. And then, a corresponding covering layer can be generated based on the full-screen covering mode, so that the covering processing of the screen is completed. The method has the advantages that a plurality of controls are provided for a user to realize a plurality of different covering modes, so that user operation can be simplified, more screen covering scenes, such as protection of privacy information in public places, screen appointed position covering during learning, and the like, can be effectively covered, and user experience is effectively improved.

503: And creating a covering layer in the covering mode at a preset position according to the determined covering mode.

For example, the electronic device 100 may generate a corresponding coverage layer based on the determined coverage pattern. For example, the electronic device 100 may construct a transparent covering layer after detecting the first user operation, and place the transparent covering layer on a top layer, which is hereinafter referred to as "top-up". The electronic device 100 may then determine a preset location on the transparent cover layer to generate the cover layer based on the determined cover pattern.

FIG. 7 illustrates a schematic view of a full-screen covered scene to further detail for full-screen coverage mode, according to some embodiments of the application.

If the electronic device 100 detects the click operation of the control 6011 by the user, it may determine that the user selects the full-screen covering mode. Referring to fig. 7, a full-screen coverage layer 701 is generated based on a full-screen coverage mode. Here, the full-screen covering layer 701 may be set to black and set to the top layer according to a click operation of the control 6011 by the user or a click operation of the control 6011 by the user is detected. Based on the control 6011, the user can complete full-screen coverage by one key, the operation is convenient, and the user experience is improved.

504: A second user operation is detected that acts on the masking layer.

It will be appreciated that the second user operation may include an operation to initiate a parameter adjustment and an operation to adjust a parameter, and the second user operation acts on the covering layer. For example, the second user operation may be a long press operation on the covering layer by the user, and the modification process on the attribute parameter of the covering layer may be started. So as to determine new attribute parameters based on subsequent user parameter adjustment operations.

505: And determining new attribute parameters according to the detected second user operation.

For example, the second user operation may initiate modification of the attribute parameters of the preset mask layer. The electronic device 100 may then determine new attribute parameters based on the subsequently detected modified content specified by the second user operation.

In some embodiments, the attribute parameters of the mask layer include, but are not limited to, fill color, size, position, layer overlap order, and transparency.

506: And adjusting the style of the covering layer based on the new attribute parameters to obtain the target covering layer.

For example, the electronic device 100 may determine the style of the updated covering layer based on the new attribute parameter, for example, the filling color, the size, the position, the overlapping sequence of the layers, the transparency, and the like may be freely set based on the requirement of the user, so as to obtain the target covering layer, so that the user may perform multiple different covering processes on any designated display area in the screen, and user experience is improved.

The following describes in further detail the implementation process of updating the cover layer according to the embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 8a to 8 c.

In some embodiments, it is assumed that the first user operation determines a custom coverage pattern, and a coverage layer A1 is generated based on the custom coverage pattern. At this time, the electronic device 100 may detect a plurality of second user operations of the user, for example, operation 801 in fig. 8a and operation 802 in fig. 8b, and update the attribute parameters of the covering layer, to obtain the target covering layer.

Referring to fig. 8a, the electronic device 100 detects a sliding operation 801 of the cover layer A1 by a user, and displaces the cover layer A1 on the screen. The above operation 801 updates the position parameter of the cover layer A1, and drags the cover layer A1 to the upper part of the screen shown in fig. 8b, so as to obtain the cover layer A2 after updating the position parameter in fig. 8 b.

Referring to fig. 8b, the electronic device 100 detects a user sliding operation 802 on the cover layer A2. The above operation 802 updates the size parameter of the masking layer A2, and reduces the size of the masking layer A2 to obtain the masking layer A3 after updating the size parameter in fig. 8 c.

In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may activate a preset parameter control after detecting the second user operation, and provide an entry for the user to adjust the attribute parameter.

The following describes in further detail the implementation process of adjusting the attribute parameters by the user based on the preset parameter control according to the embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 9a to 9 c.

Referring to fig. 9a, assume that the electronic device 100 detects a first user operation, initiates a custom coverage mode, and generates a coverage layer B based on the custom coverage mode. At this time, the electronic device 100 detects a long press operation 901 of the user on the cover layer B, and starts modification of the attribute parameters of the cover layer B.

Referring to fig. 9B, electronic device 100 initiates modification of the property parameters of hiding layer B, and control 903 may be actuated to provide the user with access to modify the property parameters, e.g., to modify transparency of hiding layer B. The electronic device 100 may detect a sliding operation 901 of the control 903 by the user, and may update the transparency of the cover layer B based on the sliding operation 901. For example, determining operation 901 to slide upward may decrease the transparency of masking layer B; while determining operation 901 is sliding down, the transparency of the masking layer B may be increased. Therefore, the transparency of the covering layer can be updated in real time by a user, and more covering layer application scenes can be covered. For example, the answers of the questions can be covered when the questions are made, and the transparency of the covering layer can be adjusted after the answers are solved so as to facilitate the answer checking.

Referring to fig. 9c, after the modification of the attribute parameter of the covering layer B is started, if the electronic device 100 detects the touch operation 904 of the user on the specified area 905 on the right side of the screen, corresponding adjustment controls, for example, the transparency adjustment control 906 and the color adjustment control 907 shown in fig. 9c, may be started, so that an entry for modifying the attribute parameter may be provided for the user, and the operation convenience is improved.

Referring to fig. 1 to 2b above, it will be appreciated that in order to protect private information, the existing partial display scheme requires that the screen is first covered and then the user operation is detected to display the partial content of a partial screen area. This requires the user to erase the area corresponding to the content to be displayed by means of memory, is complicated to operate, and brings a memory burden to the user.

In addition, since the control 02 in the local display mode provided by the above-mentioned screen covering scheme is set in the drop-down menu bar 01, if the user needs to exit the local display mode, the user needs to operate the drop-down menu bar 01 by means of the memorized drop-down position under the condition that the screen is fully covered by the covering layer 03, and in the local display mode, the user cannot perform other operations. For example, when the user wants to perform other interactive operations, such as clicking on an application to view or reply to a message after viewing the message. At this time, the user cannot directly view through clicking the message, and only the local display mode can be turned off first.

Thus, in still other embodiments, when the transparency of the cover layer is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the screen function of the cover portion of the cover layer is turned off, preventing the user from erroneously touching the covered screen content in the cover mode. And when the transparency of the covering layer is smaller than a preset threshold value, opening the screen function of the covering part of the covering layer, for example, acquiring the click operation of a user on the originally covered application icon to start the application. When the user wants to perform interactive operation on the screen covering the covering part of the covering layer, the user can keep the interactive function of the covered screen area control while keeping the covering layer with high transparency, so that the user can use the electronic equipment without being influenced by the covering mode, and the user operation is more convenient. In order to prevent the user from touching the screen function of the part covered by the covering layer by mistake under the use scene of applying the high-transparency target covering layer, so that the target covering layer under low transparency does not influence the use of the electronic device 100 by the user, and the use experience of the user is improved.

507: And synthesizing the target covering layer and the layer of the current view to obtain the covered user interface.

For example, the target overlay layer and the current view layer may be layered into an overlaid user interface using rendering service 452.

It can be appreciated that the synthesis of the target occlusion layer and the current view layer may be performed according to the attribute parameters of the target occlusion layer. For example, the target occlusion layer and the current view layer may be synthesized based on a layer overlap order.

Referring to fig. 10, a covered user interface is obtained by setting the target covering layer on top and overlaying it on the current view layer.

508: And displaying the covered user interface.

Illustratively, the electronic device 100 may send the covered user interface to the system user interface 444 through the rendering service 452, so that the covered user interface is displayed on the screen 194, so as to achieve free coverage of the screen by the user, and improve the user experience.

509: The first user operation is again detected and the covering mode is exited.

For example, when the electronic device 100 detects the first user operation again, the covering mode may be exited and the covering layer is no longer displayed. Wherein the first user operation may be the same as the first user operation detected in step 501. For example, the user double-finger tap screen may be preset as the first user operation, and when the electronic device 100 detects that the user double-finger taps the screen for the first time, the corresponding screen covering mode may be started. The electronic device 100 may obtain the target coverage layer and display the target coverage layer on the screen 194 after performing the implementation of steps 501 to 506.

For example, when the electronic device 100 detects the preset gesture operation again, the target covering layer is not displayed any more, and the custom covering mode is exited. When the electronic device 100 detects the second preset gesture operation, the target covering layer is deleted, and the user-defined covering mode is exited, so that other controls on the screen can respond to the user operation, and operation interference is avoided.

It can be appreciated that, based on the implementation flow of steps 1501 to 1508, the screen display method provided by the embodiment of the present application calls a corresponding shortcut interface by the electronic device 100 in response to the detected preset gesture operation; detecting the confirmation operation of a user on a covering control in a shortcut interface, and starting a custom covering mode; determining an area to be covered based on a preset gesture operation, generating a target covering layer based on the area to be covered, forming a covered interface by the target covering layer and the current view layer, and exiting a custom covering mode according to the preset gesture operation after the preset gesture operation is detected again.
