Touch sensitive display 115 is also sometimes referred to as a "touch screen" and may also be referred to as or as a touch sensitive display system, and may also be referred to as a display system having a touch-sensitive surface (touch-sensitive surface) and a display screen (display).

It should be understood that the handset 100 shown in fig. 1 is only one example of the mobile terminal described above, and that the handset 100 may have more or fewer components than shown in the figures, may combine two or more components, or may have a different configuration of components. The various components shown in the figures may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits.

As shown in fig. 1, the handset 100 may include: processor 101, radio frequency circuitry 102, memory 103, input/output subsystem 104, bluetooth device 105, sensor 106, Wi-Fi device 107, positioning device 108, audio circuitry 109, peripheral interface 110, and power system 111. These components may communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the hardware configuration shown in fig. 1 does not constitute a limitation of the mobile terminal, and may include more or less components than those shown, or some components in combination, or a different arrangement of components.

The following describes the components of the handset 100 in detail with reference to fig. 1:

the processor 101 is a control center of the mobile phone 100, connects various parts of the mobile phone 100 by using various interfaces and lines, and executes various functions of the mobile phone 100 and processes data by running or executing an application (App) stored in the memory 103 and calling data and instructions stored in the memory 103. In some embodiments, processor 101 may include one or more control units; processor 101 may also integrate an application processor and a modem processor; the application processor mainly processes an operating system, a user interface, application programs and the like, and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communication. It will be appreciated that the modem processor described above may not be integrated into the processor 101. For example, the processor 101 may be an kylin 960 chip manufactured by Huanti technologies, Inc. In some embodiments of the present application, the processor 101 may further include a fingerprint verification chip for verifying the acquired fingerprint.

The rf circuit 102 may be used for receiving and transmitting wireless signals during the transmission and reception of information or calls. In particular, the rf circuit 102 may receive downlink data of the base station and then process the received downlink data to the processor 101; in addition, data relating to uplink is transmitted to the base station. Typically, the radio frequency circuitry includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low noise amplifier, a duplexer, and the like. In addition, the radio frequency circuitry 102 may also communicate with other devices via wireless communication. The wireless communication may use any communication standard or protocol including, but not limited to, global system for mobile communications, general packet radio service, code division multiple access, wideband code division multiple access, long term evolution, email, short message service, and the like.

The memory 103 is used for storing applications, software, and data, and the processor 101 performs various functions and data processing of the mobile phone 100 by operating the applications and data stored in the memory. The memory 103 mainly includes a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area can store an operating system and application programs (such as a sound playing function and an image management function) required by at least one function; the storage data area may store data created from use of the handset (e.g., audio data, phone book, calendar events, etc.). Further, the memory may include high speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as a magnetic disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid state storage device.

An input/output subsystem (I/O subsystem) 104 couples input/output devices on device 100, such as a touch-sensitive display 115 and other input control devices 116, to processor 101. The I/O subsystem 104 may include a display controller 117 and one or more input controllers 118 for other input control devices 116. The one or more input controllers 118 receive/transmit electrical signals from/to other input control devices 116. The other input control devices 116 may include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slide switches, joysticks, click wheels, and so forth. In still other embodiments, the input controller 118 may be coupled (or not coupled) to any of: a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointing device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons may include up/down buttons for volume control of speaker 112 and/or microphone 113. The one or more buttons may include a push button.

The touch sensitive display 115 provides an input interface and an output interface between the mobile terminal and a user. Display controller 117 receives electrical signals from touch-sensitive display 115 and/or transmits electrical signals to touch-sensitive display 115. Touch sensitive display 115 displays visual output to a user. The visual output may include graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively "graphics"). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output may correspond to an interface element. Touch sensitive display 115 is sometimes referred to for convenience as a "touch screen," and may also be referred to as a touch sensitive display system, and may also be referred to as a display system having a touch sensitive surface and a display screen.

Touch sensitive display 115 has a touch sensitive surface, display, sensor or group of sensors that receive input from a user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. The touch-sensitive display 115 and the display controller 117 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 103) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on the touch-sensitive display 115, and translate the detected contact into interaction with interface elements (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) displayed on the touch-sensitive display 115. In an exemplary embodiment, the point of contact between the touch-sensitive display 115 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user.

Wherein a touch sensitive surface (e.g., a touch panel) may capture touch events on or near the touch sensitive surface by a user of the cell phone 100 (e.g., user operation on or near the touch sensitive surface using a finger, stylus, etc. any suitable object) and transmit the captured touch information to another device, such as the processor 101. Among them, a touch event of a user near a touch-sensitive surface may be referred to as a hover touch; hover touch may refer to a user not needing to directly contact the touchpad in order to select, move, or drag a target (e.g., an icon, etc.), but only needing to be located near the mobile terminal in order to perform a desired function. In the context of a hover touch application, the terms "touch," "contact," and the like do not imply a contact that is used to directly contact the touch screen, but rather a contact that is near or in proximity thereto. The touch-sensitive surface capable of performing floating touch can be realized by adopting capacitance, infrared light sensation, ultrasonic waves and the like. The touch sensitive surface may comprise two parts, a touch detection means 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 detection device, converts the touch information into touch point coordinates, and sends the touch point coordinates to the processor 101, and the touch controller can also receive and execute instructions sent by the processor 101. In addition, touch sensitive surfaces may be implemented using various types of resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic waves. The display (also referred to as a display screen) may be used to display information entered by or provided to the user as well as various menus for the handset 100. The display may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display, an organic light emitting diode, or the like. The touch-sensitive surface may be overlaid on the display, and when a touch event is detected on or near the touch-sensitive surface, it may be communicated to the processor 101 to determine the type of touch event, and the processor 101 may then provide a corresponding visual output on the display according to the type of touch event. Although in fig. 1 the touch sensitive surface and the display are two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the handset 100, in some embodiments the touch sensitive surface and the display may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the handset 100. It is understood that the touch screen 115 is formed by stacking multiple layers of materials, and only the touch sensitive surface (layer) and the display screen (layer) are shown in the embodiment of the present application, and other layers are not described in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, in some other embodiments of the present application, the touch-sensitive surface may be covered on the display, and the size of the touch-sensitive surface is larger than that of the display, so that the display is completely covered under the touch-sensitive surface, or the touch-sensitive surface may be configured on the front surface of the mobile phone 100 in a full panel manner, that is, the touch of the user on the front surface of the mobile phone 100 can be sensed by the mobile phone, so that the full touch experience on the front surface of the mobile phone can be realized. In other embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface is disposed on the front of the mobile phone 100 in a full-panel manner, and the display may also be disposed on the front of the mobile phone 100 in a full-panel manner, so that a frameless structure can be implemented on the front of the mobile phone.

The touch sensitive display 115 may use LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies may be used in other embodiments. Touch sensitive display 115 and display controller 117 may detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a variety of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch sensitive display 115. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used.

Touch sensitive display 115 may have a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of about 160 dpi. The user may make contact with the touch-sensitive display 115 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which may be less accurate than stylus-based input due to the larger contact area of the finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command to perform the action desired by the user.

In some embodiments, the touch screen may include a sensor group having pressure sensing.

In still other embodiments, in addition to a touch screen, the cell phone 100 may include a touch pad (not shown) for activating or deactivating certain functions. In some embodiments, the trackpad is a touch-sensitive area of the mobile terminal that, unlike a touchscreen, does not display visual output. The trackpad may be a touch-sensitive surface separate from the touch-sensitive display 115, or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

The handset 100 may also include one or more light sensors 119. FIG. 1 shows an optical sensor 119 coupled to an optical sensor controller 120 in the I/O subsystem 104. The light sensor 119 may include a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The light sensor 119 receives light projected through one or more lenses from the external environment and converts the light into data representing an image. In conjunction with the camera module 213, the light sensor 119 may capture still images or video. In some embodiments, one or more light sensors are located on the front and/or back of the handset 100, opposite the touch sensitive display 115 on the front of the device, so that the touch sensitive display 115 can be used as a viewfinder for still and/or video image capture. In some embodiments, another one or more light sensors are located in the front of the device so that the user can obtain images of the user for the video conference while viewing other video conference participants on the touch screen display, and light sensor 119 may be a camera.

In various embodiments of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may further have a fingerprint recognition function. For example, the fingerprint recognizer may be disposed on the back side of the handset 100 (e.g., below the rear facing camera), or the fingerprint recognizer may be disposed on the front side of the handset 100 (e.g., below the touch screen 115). In addition, the fingerprint recognition function can also be realized by configuring a fingerprint recognizer in the touch screen 115, that is, the fingerprint recognizer can be integrated with the touch screen 115 to realize the fingerprint recognition function of the mobile phone 100. In this case, the fingerprint recognizer may be disposed in the touch screen 115, may be a part of the touch screen 115, or may be otherwise disposed in the touch screen 115. Additionally, the fingerprint recognizer may be implemented as a full panel fingerprint recognizer, and thus, the touch screen 115 may be considered as a panel that may be used for fingerprint acquisition at any location. The fingerprint identifier may send the captured fingerprint to the processor 101 for processing (e.g., fingerprint verification, etc.) by the processor 101. The main component of the fingerprint identifier in the embodiments of the present application is a fingerprint sensor, which may employ any type of sensing technology, including but not limited to optical, capacitive, piezoelectric, or ultrasonic sensing technologies, etc.

In addition, as to a specific technical solution of integrating a fingerprint acquisition device in a touch screen in the embodiments of the present application, reference may be made to the patent application with application number US 2015/0036065 a1, entitled "fingerprint sensor in a mobile terminal", published by the united states patent and trademark office, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference in the various embodiments of the present application.

The bluetooth device 105 is configured to establish a wireless link with another mobile terminal (e.g., a smart watch, a tablet computer, etc.) through a bluetooth communication protocol, and perform data interaction.

The handset 100 may also include at least one sensor 106, such as the light sensor 119 described above, motion sensors, and other sensors. Specifically, the light sensor 119 may include an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the display panel of the touch-sensitive display 115 according to the brightness of ambient light, and a proximity sensor that turns off the power of the display panel when the mobile phone 100 is moved to the ear. As one of the motion sensors, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in each direction (generally, three axes), detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary, and can be used for applications (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer attitude calibration) for recognizing the attitude of the mobile terminal, and related functions (such as pedometer and tapping) for vibration recognition; as for other sensors such as a gyroscope, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, and an infrared sensor, which can be configured on the mobile phone 100, further description is omitted here.

The Wi-Fi device 107 is used for providing Wi-Fi network access for the mobile phone 100, and the mobile phone 100 can help a user to send and receive e-mails, browse webpages, access streaming media and the like through the Wi-Fi device 107 and provides wireless broadband internet access for the user.

The positioning device 108 is used for providing the mobile phone 100 with geographic location information, which may indicate the current geographic location of the mobile phone. It is understood that the positioning device 108 may specifically be a receiver of a positioning communication system such as the global positioning system or the beidou satellite navigation system, russian GLONASS, etc. After receiving the geographical location information sent by the positioning communication system, the positioning device 108 sends the information to the processor 101 for further processing or sends the information to the memory 103 for storage.

Audio circuitry 109, speaker 112, and microphone 113 can provide an audio interface between a user and the handset 100. The audio circuit 109 may transmit the electrical signal obtained by converting the received audio data to the speaker 112, and the audio signal is converted by the speaker 112 into a sound signal for output, where the speaker 112 may include a power amplifier speaker, an earphone, and the like; on the other hand, the microphone 113 converts the collected sound signal into an electrical signal, which is received by the audio circuit 109 and converted into audio data, which is then output to the radio frequency circuit 102 to be sent to, for example, another cellular phone, or to the memory 103 for further processing.

The handset 100 may also include a power system 111 (including power failure detection circuitry, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator, a battery, and a power management chip) that provides power to the various components. The battery may be logically connected to the processor 101 through a power management chip to manage charging, discharging, and power consumption functions through the power system 111.

The handset 100 may also include a peripheral interface 110 for providing an interface to external input/output devices (e.g., mouse, keyboard, external display, external memory, etc.). Peripheral interface 110 may be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to processor 101 and memory 103. The processor 101 runs or executes various applications and/or sets of instructions stored in the memory 103 to perform various functions of the handset 100 and to process data. In some embodiments, the processor 101 may include an image signal processor and a dual or multi-core processor.

Although not shown, the handset 100 may also include a camera (front and/or rear), a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card slot, a flash, a micro-projector, a Near Field Communication (NFC) device, and so forth.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the software stored in memory 103 may include an operating system 201, a communication module (or set of instructions) 202, a contact/movement module (or set of instructions) 203, a graphics module (or set of instructions) 204, a text input module (or set of instructions) 205, a location module (or set of instructions) 206, a Wi-Fi module (or set of instructions) 207, and an application program (or set of instructions) 208. Further, in some embodiments, memory 103 may also store device/global internal state 209, as shown in fig. 1 and 2. Device/global internal state 209 may include at least one of the following states: an active application state indicating which applications (if any) are currently active; display state indicating what applications, views, or other information occupy various areas of touch screen 115; sensor status including information obtained from various sensors of the mobile terminal and the peripheral interface 110; and information about the geographic position and attitude of the mobile terminal.

The operating system 201 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, WINDOWS, ANDROID, or an embedded operating system such as Vx Works) includes various software and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between the various hardware and software. Further, in some embodiments, the memory 103 may also store a gallery 210.

The communication module 202 may communicate with other mobile terminals through the peripheral interface 110 and may also include various software for processing data received by the radio frequency circuit 102 and/or the peripheral interface 110. The peripheral interfaces (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), firewire, etc.) are adapted to couple directly to other mobile terminals or indirectly through a network (e.g., the internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, peripheral interface 110 may also be a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as or similar to and/or compatible with a 30-pin connector used on iPod (trademark of Apple inc.) devices.

The contact/movement module 203 may detect contact with the touch screen 115 and other touch sensitive devices (e.g., a trackpad or a physical click wheel). The contact/movement module 203 may include a plurality of software for performing various operations related to contact detection, such as determining whether contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining whether there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement on the touch panel (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining whether the contact has terminated (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). The contact/movement module 203 receives contact data from the touch panel. Determining movement of the point of contact may include determining a velocity (magnitude), a velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact, the movement of the point of contact being represented by a series of contact data. These operations may be applied to single point contacts (e.g., one finger contact) or multiple point simultaneous contacts (e.g., "multi-touch"/multiple finger contacts).

The contact/movement module 203 may also detect gesture inputs by the user. Different types of gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns. Thus, the type of gesture may be detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a single-finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event, and then detecting a finger-up (lift-off) event at the same location (or substantially the same location) as the finger-down event (e.g., at an icon location). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event, then detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and then subsequently detecting a finger-up (lift-off) event.

The types of gestures described above may be various, for example, the gestures described above may be Flick gestures, i.e., a single finger taps the touch-sensitive surface of the touch-sensitive display 115, then swiftly slides, then swiftly leaves the touch-sensitive surface, such as scrolling the screen up and down, or toggling a picture left or right, etc.; the gesture can also be a Slide gesture, namely a single finger taps the touch-sensitive surface and then continuously contacts and moves, such as sliding unlocking; the gesture can also be a Swipe gesture, that is, a plurality of fingers contact the touch-sensitive surface and then are continuously contacted and moved, for example, a three-finger grip returns to the main interface; the gesture may also be a Tap gesture, i.e. a single finger tapping the touch sensitive surface followed immediately by leaving the touch sensitive surface; the gesture can also be a Double Tap gesture, namely, two Tap gestures are performed in a very short time; the gesture may also be a Touch & Hold gesture, i.e. a finger taps the Touch sensitive surface and remains stationary; the gesture may also be a Drag gesture, i.e. a finger tapping on the touch sensitive surface, moving the finger slowly without leaving the touch sensitive surface (typically with a well-defined target location, such as dragging a file to a trash can to delete a file); the gesture may also be a Pinch gesture, i.e. a Pinch of two fingers (typically a thumb and an index finger) on a touch-sensitive surface; the gesture may also be a Unpin gesture, i.e. two fingers (typically a thumb and an index finger) are spread across the touch-sensitive surface; it is understood that the gesture may be other types of gestures besides the various gestures listed above, and the embodiment does not limit the types of gestures.

Graphics module 204 includes a number of known software for rendering and displaying graphics on touch-sensitive display 115 or other display, including components for changing the intensity of displayed graphics. As used herein, the term "graphic" includes any object that may be displayed to a user, including without limitation text, web pages, icons (such as user interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations and the like.

In some embodiments, the graphics module 204 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic may be assigned a corresponding code. The graphics module 204 receives one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed from an application program or the like, and also receives coordinate data and other graphics attribute data together if necessary, and then generates screen image data to output to the display controller 117.

Text input module 205, which may be a component of graphics module 204, provides a soft keyboard for entering text in various applications 208 (e.g., contacts 208-1, browser 208-6, and any other application that requires text input).

The positioning module 206 is used to determine the geographic location of the mobile terminal and provide this information for use in various applications 208 (e.g., to provide to the phone 2082 for geographic location based dialing, to the camera module 208-3 as picture/video metadata, and to other applications that provide geographic location based services, such as weather desktop applet 211-1, map/navigation desktop applet 211-2, etc.).

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal is a device on which the operation of a predefined set of functions is performed exclusively through the touch screen and/or the touch pad. By using a touch screen and/or touch pad as the primary input control device for operation of the mobile terminal, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, etc.) on the mobile terminal may be reduced.

The predefined set of functions that may be performed by the touch screen and/or trackpad include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the mobile terminal is navigated from any graphical user interface that may be displayed on the mobile terminal to a main menu, or root menu when the trackpad is touched by a user. In such embodiments, the touch pad may be referred to as a "menu button". In some other embodiments, the menu button may be a physical push button or other physical input control device rather than a touchpad.

The following embodiments may be implemented in a mobile terminal (e.g., handset 100) having the hardware described above.

Fig. 3A and 3B illustrate a mobile terminal (taking cell phone 100 as an example) having a touch screen according to some embodiments. The mobile terminal 100 may further include a camera 306, an earpiece 307, an ambient light sensor (not shown), and other physical devices, where the camera may include one or more front cameras and one or more rear cameras, where the front camera is disposed on the same side of the display screen, the rear camera is disposed on the back of the display screen, the front camera may be disposed on the mobile phone face and closely arranged with the display screen, for example, as shown in fig. 3A, the front camera 306 is located at a midpoint position near the top of the mobile phone, the earpiece 307 is located above the front camera 306, or for example, as shown in fig. 3B, the front camera 306 is located at a position biased to one side near the top of the mobile terminal 100, the earpiece 307 is disposed directly above the front camera 306, and the front camera 306 may also be located at a position near the bottom of the mobile terminal 100, and the specific design may be product design. The touch screen 115 is an irregular rectangular touch screen, the irregular area of the screen area of the touch screen 115 extends to the areas on two sides of the front camera 306 at the top of the mobile terminal 100, so that a working space is provided for the camera 306, the receiver 307 and other devices, the display screen occupation ratio is greatly improved, and the visual effect is improved. In the following embodiments, the front camera 306 is disposed at the center of the top of the mobile terminal 100.

Touch screen 115 may display one or more graphics within a Graphical User Interface (GUI). In this embodiment, as well as other embodiments described below, the mobile terminal may detect an operation by the user selecting one or more of the graphics by, for example, making a gesture on the graphics with one or more fingers 301 (not drawn to scale in the figures) or with one or more styluses (not shown). In some embodiments, the selection of the one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture may include one or more taps, one or more swipes (left to right, right to left, up, and/or down), and/or a finger (right to left, left to right, up, and/or down) that has made contact with the mobile terminal 100. In some embodiments, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, when the gesture corresponding to the selection is a tap, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon does not select the corresponding application.

The mobile terminal 100 may also include one or more physical buttons, such as a home screen button 303, a menu button 304, a back button 305. As previously described, menu button 304 may be used to navigate to any application 208 in a set of applications that may be running on mobile terminal 100. In still other embodiments, the buttons described above may each be implemented as virtual keys in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) displayed on touch screen 115.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may also include a push button, volume adjustment button(s), Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card slot, headset jack, docking/charging external port, and the like for device powering on and off and locking the device. Pressing the button may be used to power the device on and off by pressing the button and holding the button in a pressed state for a predefined time interval; locking the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or unlocking the device or initiating an unlocking process.

Attention is now directed to an embodiment of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that may be implemented on the mobile terminal 100.

As shown in fig. 4, the mobile terminal provided in the embodiment of the present application has a display screen and a camera, where the display screen may be a touch screen, and the touch screen includes a first screen area 308 and a second screen area 309. The first screen area 308 is a rectangular area, and the second screen area 309 is an area of the touch screen extending from the first screen area 308 to the periphery of the front camera. Therefore, the touch screen 115 is different from the regular rectangular touch screen in the prior art, and the display area of the touch screen 115 extends to the areas on both sides of the front camera 306 at the top of the mobile terminal 100, so as to provide a working space for the camera 306, the receiver 307 and other devices, and simultaneously, the screen occupation ratio of the touch screen 115 is greatly improved, and the visual effect is improved. In some embodiments below, the front camera 306 is disposed at the center of the top of the mobile terminal 100 as shown in the drawings.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first screen area 308 and the second screen area 309 may be controlled by the same display controller 117.

In some embodiments, upon lighting the display screen or detecting the user clicking on the home screen button 303, the mobile terminal displays a series of exemplary Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) on the touch screen, including displaying a home screen in the first screen region 303, device status icons such as Wi-Fi signals, communication signals, battery level, time, etc., in the second screen region 309, and application icons such as short messages, emails, cameras, music, WeChat, etc., in the second screen region.

Among other things, the main screen may include a plurality of sub-screens (sub-screens), each of which may include different content. Taking fig. 4 as an example for explanation, the GUI may be a first sub-screen in a main screen of the mobile terminal. The first sub-screen is displayed on the touch screen of the mobile terminal, and may include a main screen indicator 403 and icons of various apps. The main screen indicator 403 is used to prompt the user which sub-screen is currently displayed. Exemplarily, in the first sub-screen, App icons of a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns are included; when the mobile terminal detects that a finger (or a stylus pen or the like) of a user touches a position on the touch screen, the mobile terminal can open a graphical user interface of an App corresponding to a certain App icon in response to the touch event. It is understood that, in some other embodiments, a Dock column may be further included in the main screen, and a commonly used App icon and the like may be included in the Dock column, which is not described again.

In connection with fig. 4, in some embodiments, the graphical user interface 400 illustratively includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:

● a time indicator 402;

● battery status indicator 401;

● Wi-Fi signal strength identification 419;

● alarm clock indicator 420;

● application icon 422, and the like.

Further, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., single finger contact, single finger tap gesture, single finger swipe gesture), it should be understood that in some embodiments one or more of these finger inputs are replaced by inputs from another input device (e.g., stylus inputs).

Attention is now directed to embodiments of a user interface ("UI") and associated processes that may be implemented on a mobile terminal having a display and a touch-sensitive surface, such as portable mobile terminal 100. The mobile terminal 100 of the present application aims to provide various interactive functions and improve the user experience by fully utilizing the discontinuous display second screen area 309 on the display screen 115.

Herein, unless specifically stated, the user's gesture is flexible and may be a click, double click, slide, circle, line, single finger touch, or multi-finger touch, among others. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the selection of a particular gesture is flexible as long as substantially the same result is achieved. In this context, unless specifically stated otherwise, the location or region of the touch-sensitive surface at which the user's gesture is applied is also flexible, and may be a region or vicinity of an application interface element displayed by the display screen, a blank region of the display screen where no application interface element is displayed, a region of a function setting displayed by the display screen, and so forth. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the gestures can be flexibly configured to act on specific locations or regions of the touch-sensitive surface, so long as substantially the same effect is achieved.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may determine that the intention of the gesture is to instruct the device to operate on an application icon or in a non-application icon area by detecting the pressure, duration, area, location, distance from an application icon or icons, or distance from a boundary of the touch-sensitive surface of the finger 301 on the touch-sensitive surface, for example: launch an application, flip a sub-screen, etc., in response to a gesture.

FIG. 5 illustrates a flow diagram of a method of displaying a graphical user interface provided in accordance with some embodiments. The method is performed on a mobile terminal 100 having a display as mentioned in the various embodiments below. In some embodiments, the display is a touch screen display and the touch sensitive surface is on the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations in the methods may be combined, and/or the order of some operations may be changed.

As shown in fig. 5, the method includes steps 501 to 503. Firstly, in step 501, the mobile terminal displays an application interface of a first application in the first screen area; then, in step 502, when the second application has a notification, the mobile terminal displays the notification in the second screen area; in step 503, when detecting a first touch operation performed on the notification, the mobile terminal continues to display an application interface of the first application in the first screen area, and displays an application interface of the second application related to the notification on the application interface of the first application.

The following detailed description is to be read with reference to certain embodiments and various drawings.

As shown in FIG. 6A, a finger 301 may be detected on the touch-sensitive surface of touch screen 115. The mobile terminal 100 launches the application icon 418 in response to the finger 301 clicking the application icon 418 on the first screen area 308. Thereafter, the graphical user interface of the mobile terminal 100 transitions to fig. 6B, displaying the interface contents of the application interface on the first screen area 308.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may display or implicitly prompt the user to: application icon 418 may be launched, for example: the mobile terminal 100 vibrates.

In some embodiments, the application icon 503 may be unresponsive to the finger 301. The mobile terminal 100 may also display or implicitly prompt the user to: application icon 418 is not responsive to finger 301.

In other embodiments, when the touch screen displays an interface of a home screen as shown in fig. 4, the mobile terminal 100 displays an interface of a transition from an interface of one screen to an interface of another screen in the first screen area 308 in response to the finger 301 sliding from the non-application icon area in the first screen area 308.

In the above embodiment, in response to the finger 301 executed in the first screen area 308, when the mobile terminal 100 changes the corresponding display content in the first screen area 308, the same content may be displayed in the second screen area 309, for example, after transition from fig. 6A to fig. 6B, the mobile terminal 100 may still display some device status icons and application icons in the second screen area 309, and even when the mobile terminal 100 is not lit up in the first screen area 308, some device status icons and application icons may still be displayed in the second screen area 309, so that the user does not need to fully power the mobile terminal 100, and still can obtain some device related information, save the device power, and improve the user experience.

Of course, the mobile terminal 100 may set whether to display or hide the display contents of the first screen region 309 in response to one finger 301.

As shown in fig. 7A, the mobile terminal 100 has one display/hide icon 423 in the second screen area 309, and in the display state, when the mobile terminal 100 detects an operation (e.g., a click, a double click, a long press, a drag, etc. operation) of the display/hide icon 423 by the finger 301, the mobile terminal 100 may transition from displaying some device state icons and application icons in the second screen area 309 as shown in fig. 7A to displaying those device state icons and application icons hidden in the second screen area 309 as shown in fig. 7B (leaving the display/hide icon 423). In the hidden state, when the mobile terminal 100 detects an operation of the display/hide icon 423 by the finger 301, the mobile terminal 100 may transition from displaying those device state icons and application icons (remaining display/hide icon 423) hidden in the second screen area 309 as shown in fig. 7B to displaying some device state icons and application icons in the second screen area 309 as shown in fig. 7A.

After hiding, the mobile terminal 100 may extinguish the second screen region 309 to save power consumption, reduce interference of the display content of the second screen region 309 with the display content of the first screen region 308, and may also display a continuous interface content in the first screen region 308 and the first screen region 308 in a matching manner, so as to improve the display effect through the whole display.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may also provide a pressure sensitive function, instead of or in conjunction with displaying/hiding the icon 423. When the mobile terminal 100 detects an input pressing the touch screen or the device bezel and the input pressure reaches a certain threshold, the mobile terminal 100 may display or hide the above-mentioned icon displayed in the second screen area 309, similar to fig. 8A and 8B.

In some embodiments, after a period of time when no operation on the second screen region 309 is detected, the mobile terminal 100 may reduce the brightness or transparency of the second screen region 309, which may reduce the interference of the display content of the second screen region 309 with the user viewing the first screen region 308.

As shown in fig. 8A and 8B, in some embodiments, when the mobile terminal 100 detects an operation of the icon 422 of the application program of the second screen region 309 by the finger 301 (e.g., clicking the icon 422 of the application program), the mobile terminal 100 may run the application program and display interface content of the corresponding application program in the first screen region 308.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may display some icons of the designated applications on the second screen area 308, for example, commonly used applications or applications set by the user, and the mobile terminal 100 may cooperate with an application interface for quickly entering the commonly used applications in the second screen area 309 and the first screen area 308, so as to simplify the user operation process. For example, as shown in fig. 9A, when the mobile terminal 100 detects that the finger 301 clicks the icon 406 of the setting application of the first screen region 308, the set application interface is displayed in the first screen region 308, as shown in fig. 9B, and then, when the finger 301 is detected to click the icon 422 of the wechat application of the second screen region 309, the mobile terminal 100 displays the application interface of the wechat application of fig. 9C in the first screen region 308 and displays the icon 406a of the setting application in the second screen region 309; then, when detecting a touch operation 301a of clicking the icon 406a of the setting application of the second screen area 309 by the finger 301, the mobile terminal 100 displays an application interface of the setting application as shown in fig. 9B on the first screen area 308, and simultaneously displays an icon 422 of the wechat application on the second screen interface 309; or when the touch operation 301b of clicking the return control 425 shown in fig. 9C performed by the finger 301 is detected, the mobile terminal 100 displays the main interface shown in fig. 9A in the first screen area 308 and displays the icon 422 of the wechat application in the second screen area 309. Compared with the prior art that the user can enter the application interface of the WeChat application after the application interface of the setting application is quitted and returns to the main screen, or the user can enter the application interface of the WeChat application after the user operates the application interface and enters the background running list, the method provided by the embodiment of the application can provide the functions of quickly entering the common application and quickly returning to the application interface of the previous access application, simplifies the operation process of the user, and improves the use experience of the user.

The following further describes steps 501 to 503 of the method with reference to the drawings and the above embodiments.

In step 501, the mobile terminal 100 displays an application interface of the first application in the first screen area 308, for example, as shown in fig. 10A, the mobile terminal 100 displays an interface of the instant messaging application during the video call in the first screen area 308.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may further display at least one icon 422 of the second application in the second screen area 309, and the specific display of which second application and the display number may be determined and adjusted according to the setting.

Next, in step 502, when there is a notification of the second application, the mobile terminal 100 displays the content of the notification in the second screen area 309; and continuously displaying the application interface of the first application in the first screen area.

In some embodiments, when the mobile terminal 100 detects the notification of the second application, the mobile terminal 100 may prompt in the second screen area 309 by blinking an icon corresponding to the second application, or by displaying the number of messages on the icon corresponding to the second application. For social or communication applications, the mobile terminal 100 may modify the application icon into an image of the message source, i.e., the message sender, so as to facilitate the user to identify the identity of the sender.

The notification may be an instant message received by the mobile terminal 100 through the radio frequency circuitry 102, or may be content, such as a timed reminder notification, triggered by the second application determining that a particular condition (e.g., a particular time, a particular location, a particular temperature, etc.) is met while it is running in the background. The specific content of the notification may include, but is not limited to, text, image, animation, and the like, and the prompt information may also be information of the sender of the notification, such as an image of the sender (e.g., an avatar, an icon, and the like), identity information of the sender (e.g., a name, a number, and the like), sending time of the sender, and the like.

Referring to fig. 10B, the mobile terminal 100 displays a notification 424 next to an icon (e.g., WeChat) 422 of the first application in the second screen area 309, the notification 424 including a sender's avatar and the text "where" of the notification.

In some embodiments, when the mobile terminal 100 detects the notification of the second application, the mobile terminal may automatically adjust the positions of the icons of the other applications on the second screen region 309 according to the length of the content of the notification, may display only the content of the notification in the entire second screen region 309, may scroll when the content of the notification is long, and may cause the icon corresponding to the second application to flash or change color or display the number of messages beside the icon, so that the user may perceive the notification. In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may fixedly display the notification on the second screen area, which is beneficial for the user to view the content of the notification at any time, and the mobile terminal 100 may close the notification prompt message and back to the initial state shown in fig. 10A to reach a valid notification of the message when detecting the user's operation of selecting to close (pressing the screen or sliding, clicking, double-clicking the icon or message) or triggering the second application.

In some embodiments, when the mobile terminal 100 displays the notification 424, the icons of some other applications may be hidden due to the limited size of the second screen area 309, for example, as shown in fig. 10B, the mobile terminal 100 displays the notification 424 next to the icon 422 of the second application, the icon on the right side of the notification 424 is shifted to the right overall, and no other icon "shifted out" of the second screen area 309 is displayed.

In some embodiments, with reference to fig. 11A and 11B, the mobile terminal 100 may display other icons outside the second screen area 309 in a moving manner according to the sliding operation of the finger 301 on the second screen area 309, so that the user may display the other hidden icons when necessary.

In other embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may fix the display size of the notification 424 and display the message content of the notification in the display size area of the notification, such as a scrolling display from right to left, or a scrolling display from top to bottom, etc.

Then, in step 503, in response to detecting the first operation performed by the finger 301 on the notification displayed in the second screen area 309, the mobile terminal 100 continues to display the application interface of the first application in the first screen area 308, and displays the application interface 430 related to the second application on all or a part of the application interface of the first application.

The application interface 430 may be an application interface related to the notification, or an application interface for invoking other functions of the second application.

As shown in fig. 12A, when the mobile terminal 100 detects an operation of dragging the notification 402 from the second screen area 309 to the first screen area 308 by the finger 301, the interface of the running instant messaging application is continuously displayed, a notification of the ongoing video call is continuously displayed, and the application interface 430 is displayed on the application interface of the instant messaging application, and the application interface 430 may include an application interface related to specific content of the notification shown in fig. 12B.

In some embodiments, in conjunction with fig. 15A and 15B, the application interface 430 may further include application interfaces of other related functions of the second application, for example, the mobile terminal 100 detects an operation of the user clicking or double-clicking the icon 422 of the second application, may display a contact list in the first screen area 308, may move a display context when an operation of sliding contents input by the user in the contact list is detected, may determine a contact when a sliding or input by the user is detected, and enters the display interface 431 of the contact.

In some embodiments, the method may further include a step 504, in which, when the mobile terminal 100 detects an operation (e.g., clicking "reply") performed by the finger 301 on the interactive interface of the touch screen, the application interface 430 displayed by the mobile terminal 100 transitions from fig. 12B to the input interface shown in fig. 12C, the mobile terminal 100 acquires a second operation of the finger 301 on the input area of the application interface 430, acquires a reply message, and when it detects that the finger 301 clicks "send", the second application sends the reply message to a corresponding recipient (corresponding to the aforementioned sender).

Then, the application interface 430 displayed by the mobile terminal 100 transitions from fig. 12B to the input interface shown in fig. 12C to continue displaying the interface of the running instant messaging application, notify of the ongoing video call, and display the application interface 430 on the interface of the instant messaging application.

During this period, the mobile terminal 100 still continues to run the first application, and still displays the application interface of the first application in real time in the first screen area 308, for example, fig. 12A-12C, and the mobile terminal 100 still performs the video call process in real time in the first screen area 308, that is, continues to display the dynamic images of the two parties of the call, transfer the voices of the two parties of the call, and so on in real time. The application interface 430 may be displayed in a semi-transparent or opaque manner, wherein displaying in a semi-transparent manner may allow the user to continue to view the interface content of the first application.

In some embodiments, when the mobile terminal 100 displays the application interface of the second application related to the notification, the mobile terminal 100 executes an instruction corresponding to a third touch operation in the second application when detecting the third touch operation executed on the area outside the application interface of the second application in the first screen area 308, and continues to display the application interface related to the notification in the second application in the first screen area.

As shown in fig. 12C, the input interface 430 of the second application may include a virtual keyboard, and the virtual keyboard may be set as a full keyboard or a squared keyboard, and as shown in fig. 14B, the input interface 430 of the second application is split into a left part and a right part, so as to free a middle part of the interface content of the first application, for example, during a game, a central view area is important, and the free middle part is not likely to interfere with the game.

In some embodiments, the application interface of the second application may further integrate voice input into the input method, and after the mobile terminal 100 converts the voice input into text according to the voice input of the user, the second application is operated to reply the message, so as to further reduce interference of the keyboard on the display screen of the first application.

In other embodiments, when the mobile terminal 100 detects the operation of dragging the notification 402 from the second screen region 309 to the first screen region 308 by the finger 301, the content displayed by the mobile terminal 100 may transition from fig. 13A to the application interface 430 shown in fig. 13B, that is, the notification content displayed by the mobile terminal in the first screen region 308 is switched to be displayed as the content being input, and the input interface is displayed on the first screen region 309, in this embodiment, the method processes the notification of the second application through the first screen region 308 and the second screen region 309 in cooperation, further simplifies the interaction process and the interaction interface of the second application displayed in the first screen region 308, facilitates the user to process the notification of the second application quickly, shortens the impact time on the application interface of the first application, and can make the user return to, for example, watching a movie, playing a game, and playing a game as soon as possible, In the video call, the user experience is improved.

In some embodiments, after the mobile terminal 100 finishes processing the notification, the mobile terminal 100 continues to display the application interface of the first application in the first screen area and does not display the application interface of the second application, for example, after the mobile terminal 100 detects that the gesture 301 clicks to send, the mobile terminal 100 exits from the application interface of the second application, and the display is as shown in fig. 13A.

In some embodiments, when detecting a third touch operation performed by the finger 301 on the first screen area 308 and on an area outside the application interface of the second application, the mobile terminal 100 may perform an instruction corresponding to the third touch operation in the second application, for example, when the first application is a game application, and during processing of a notification of the second application, if an enemy approach is found in the game, the user may immediately operate the interface of the first application, and the mobile terminal may continue to display an application interface related to the notification in the second application in the first screen area.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may continue to display the application interface of the first application in the first screen area 308 and exit the application interface of the second application according to the operation of the user, where the exiting may be, but is not limited to, the mobile terminal 100 detecting that the finger 301 clicks the icon corresponding to the second application in the second screen area 308; the mobile terminal 100 detects that the finger 301 presses the application interface of the second application for a long time; the mobile terminal detects that the finger 301 double-clicks an area in the application interface of the first application and outside the application interface of the second application, and so on.

Therefore, when the mobile terminal 100 displays the interface content of the first application in the first screen area 308, such as a video call, a video playback (movie, television, animation, etc.), a game, etc., and when there is a notification of the second application, the mobile terminal 100 may display the information related to the notification in the second screen area 309, on one hand, compared with a manner of popping up an interface in the first screen area 308 for prompting, the mobile terminal does not occupy the first screen area 308 and does not affect the display content of the first screen area 308, on the other hand, the information related to the notification may be persistently displayed in the second screen area 309, and is not rapidly retrieved after the pop-up interface pops up, thereby avoiding a problem that the notification disappears when the user does not have time to see the content of the notification.

When the mobile terminal 100 detects a first operation of the notification by the user, the application interface 430 of the second application is displayed on the interface content of the first application while the interface content of the first application is displayed in the first screen area 308, and the application interface 430 may process the notification in response to a second operation performed by the user thereon, including reviewing the content of the notification, processing or replying to the notification, and the like. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 does not need to jump from the interface content of the first application being displayed to the interface content of the second application on the first screen area 308, so that the user can still continue to view the interface content of the first application, while the application interface 430 can provide the user with a function of quickly processing the notification of the second application.

Therefore, in some specific use scenarios, the use experience of the user is greatly improved, for example: when a user watches a movie, the user can process the notification without stopping the movie being watched, and switching to other applications without exiting the player application in the first screen area; the user does not need to jump out of the game application in the game process, so that the problems of ' disconnection ', escape ' and the like which are possibly judged by a game server are avoided, and the notification can be processed; in addition, the user can process the notification without closing a video call interface in the process of passing the video, so that the call process with the other party is prevented from being influenced.

The mobile terminal 100 may detect that the user clicks a message, an icon, or presses a screen or a border to enter a message input mode, in which the mobile terminal 100 is displayed in a part or the whole area of the first screen area and is used as an input area, and the display of the screen of the original application such as a game, a movie, or a reading is not affected in the input area, for example, the content of the message, the input keyboard, the handwriting input track, the input method, and the like are superimposed thereon in a semi-transparent or non-transparent manner, and the input message is obtained and transmitted.

In some embodiments, when the mobile terminal 100 detects that the mobile terminal 100 is rotated by using an accelerometer sensor, a gravity sensor, or a gyroscope, the icon of the second screen region 309 may also rotate, for example, as shown in fig. 14A, to provide a display direction of a proper viewing angle for the user, and also to provide a proper display direction for the application interface 430 displayed on the first screen region 308.

According to another aspect of the present application, a method for displaying a graphical user interface is provided, which includes steps 601 to 602.

In step 601, the mobile terminal 100 starts the front camera function, and as shown in fig. 16A, the mobile terminal 100 detects an operation of clicking the camera icon 407 by the finger 301, starts the camera function, and detects an operation of clicking the control 425 for switching the front/rear cameras by the finger 301, starts the front camera to perform shooting.

Then, in step 602, the mobile terminal 100 displays the image acquired by the front camera on the first screen region 308, and enters a light filling mode in the second screen region 309, where the light filling mode may include increasing the display brightness of all or a part of the second screen region to exceed a threshold value to fill the object with light, for example, as shown in fig. 16B, the display brightness of the second screen region 309 is increased to a certain threshold value or even to a maximum value, that is, the backlight brightness in the second screen region 309 is increased to a certain threshold value or even to a maximum value.

In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may further adjust the second screen region 309 to a monochrome mode, for example, white, yellow, blue, and the like, to supplement light for the object to be photographed, and at the same time, help to improve an imaging color of the object to be photographed, improve an imaging effect, and provide a photographing experience of a user.

Therefore, in the method, the mobile terminal displays the second screen region 309 as a light supplement lamp bar to supplement light for a shot object (such as a human face) in the shooting process of the front camera, so that an image with better brightness can be obtained when the ambient light of a user is dark, for example, self-shooting and video call can be performed in a dark environment. Therefore, when the front-facing camera is started to photograph, the mobile terminal 100 uses the second screen region as a fill-in light, lights the discontinuous screen region, and provides the function of the fill-in light in applications such as photographing, makeup, face recognition, and the like, so that the quality of the obtained image is improved in a dark light environment. The backlight brightness of the area can be enhanced in the discontinuous screen area to obtain a better light supplement effect. By combining the embodiments, the display screen has more various functions, the use requirements of the user in various scenes are improved, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, in step 602, in the process of performing light supplement when the second screen region 309 enters the light supplement mode, the mobile terminal 100 may perform light supplement in one or more partial regions of the second screen region 309, as shown in fig. 17A, 17B, and 17C, when the front camera shooting process enters the depth 3D mode, when it is detected that the finger 301 clicks to take a photo, the front camera continuously takes 3 photos, and light 426a, 426B, and 426C for light supplement each time of taking a photo, and then the processor 101 of the mobile terminal 100 synthesizes the three photos, and obtains high-precision 3D depth information by using light and shadow change in combination with the dual front cameras. Fill light from different angles, form the higher image of precision, further help improving the formation of image effect.

When the mobile terminal realizes the iris recognition function, the front camera and the iris scanning camera are started, the eyes of a user who shoots are displayed in the first screen area 308, infrared light is added on the basis that visible light is displayed in the second screen area 309, an infrared light supplementing effect is provided for iris recognition or face recognition, and the iris recognition function is improved.

Therefore, the mobile terminal utilizes the second screen area to realize a soft light supplement effect, and a better shooting effect is brought under the condition that the display application content is not influenced. The application provides a scheme of utilizing discontinuous screen area as light filling lamp. Compared with the prior art, the light supplementing effect can be realized in the scheme of large screen occupation ratio without occupying extra space and adding extra holes on the panel of the equipment.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 18, the mobile terminal 100 may further display a prompt pattern 435 pointing to the position of the front camera 306 in the second screen area 309, so as to improve the shooting effect.
