The first target area may be an area of the first screen on one side of a first split screen dividing line, and the first split screen dividing line may be a split screen dividing line passing through the first split screen position on the first screen.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first split boundary may be a straight line or a curved line passing through the first split position on the first screen. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the first split line is a straight line passing through the first split position, the straight line may be a straight line perpendicular to the side edge of the first screen, or a straight line having a certain included angle (for example, an included angle of 45 degrees or the like) with the side edge of the first screen. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first target area (i.e. one side of the first split screen boundary) may be: either side of the dividing line of the first split screen on the first screen. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, assuming that the first split-screen detection area is located at the left edge of the first screen of the electronic device and the first application icon is "icon 1", as shown in fig. 3 (a), the user may slide from point a (i.e., the first split-screen position) in the split-screen detection area 31 to "icon 1" 32, and after the user releases the finger, the electronic device may respond to the input, as shown in fig. 3 (b), and the electronic device may display "interface of application 1" (i.e., the first application program interface) in an area (i.e., the first target area) between the top of the screen of the first screen and a straight line 33 (i.e., the first split-screen boundary) passing through point a.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, in a second possible implementation manner, the first screen splitting position is located in a second screen splitting detection area, and a screen splitting area corresponding to the first screen splitting position may be a second target area.

It is to be understood that, in the second possible implementation manner, the electronic device may be a dual-screen electronic device. The second screen and the first screen may be different screens of the electronic device. For example, the first screen may be a front screen of the electronic device, and the second screen may be a back screen of the electronic device.

Certainly, in actual implementation, the first screen and the second screen may be any two screens in the electronic device, and may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, the second split-screen detection area and the first split-screen detection area may be different split-screen detection areas on the first screen. The first split-screen detection area can be used for triggering the electronic equipment to split-screen display the application program interface on the first screen, and the second split-screen detection area can be used for triggering the electronic equipment to split-screen display the application program interface on the second screen.

For example, the first split detection area may be located at a left edge of the first screen, and the second split detection area may be located at a right edge of the first screen.

Alternatively, for the second possible implementation manner, the above S203 may be specifically implemented by S203b described below.

S203b, the electronic device responds to the first input, and displays an application program interface indicated by the first application icon in the second target area.

The second target area may be an area of the second screen located on one side of a dividing line of the second screen, and the dividing line of the second screen may be a dividing line of the second screen passing through a position corresponding to the first dividing position.

It should be noted that, in a second possible implementation manner, the position corresponding to the first split-screen position may be understood as: the first split screen location is projected or mapped from the first screen to a location on the second screen.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the second split-screen boundary may be a straight line or a curved line passing through a position corresponding to the position of the first split screen on the second screen. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the invention, because the user inputs on the first screen, the electronic device can be triggered to display the first application program interface on the second target area in a split screen manner, the user can trigger the electronic device to split the second screen through the input on the first screen, and one application program interface is displayed on the second screen in a split screen manner, so that the operation steps of split screen display of the electronic device can be more flexible and convenient.

The embodiment of the invention provides a split-screen display method, wherein a split-screen area of an application program interface indicated by a first application icon displayed by electronic equipment can be determined according to a first split-screen position, so that when the first split-screen position is different, the area of the application program interface indicated by the first application icon displayed by the electronic equipment in a split-screen mode can be different; and because the first screen splitting position is the screen splitting position selected by the user triggering the electronic device, the user can trigger the electronic device to select the screen splitting position corresponding to the screen splitting area (namely the area of the electronic device for displaying an application program interface in a split screen mode) which the user wants according to the use requirement of the user, so that the electronic device can display an application program interface in a split screen mode according to the screen splitting position selected by the user, and further, the screen splitting display mode of the electronic device can be more flexible.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first input may further include: and triggering and selecting a second sub-input of a second application icon in the second split screen position and the at least one application icon. Thus, after S202, the split-screen display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S204 described below.

It should be noted that the execution sequence between S203 and S204 may not be limited in the embodiment of the present invention. That is, the electronic device may perform S203 first and then perform S204; s204 may be executed first, and then S203 may be executed, or S203 and S204 may be executed simultaneously. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

S204, the electronic equipment responds to the first input, and displays an application program interface indicated by the second application icon in a split screen area corresponding to the second split screen position.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when the first input further includes the second sub-input, the electronic device may further display, in response to the first input, an application program interface indicated by a second application icon (hereinafter, referred to as a second application program interface) in a split-screen area corresponding to the second split-screen position. Therefore, a user can trigger the electronic equipment to display two application program interfaces in a split screen mode through one-time input (namely, first input), so that the electronic equipment can rapidly display a plurality of application program interfaces in a split screen mode, namely, the electronic equipment can rapidly start and run a plurality of application programs in a split screen mode.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, an input manner of the second sub-input may be: after the first sub-input is finished, the fingers of the user are not loosened, the user continues to slide to a second split screen position from the first application icon, and then slide to the input of a second application icon from the second split screen position; the click input of the first split screen position, the first application icon, the second split screen position and the second application icon by the user within the second time length (the time length preset in the electronic equipment by the manufacturer of the electronic equipment) can also be considered. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention may not limit the sequence in which the user slides and selects the second application icon and the second split screen position. Namely, the finger of the user can slide from the first application icon to the second split screen position and then slide from the second split screen position to the second application icon; or the first application icon can be slid to the second application icon first, and then the second application icon can be slid to the second split screen position. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the invention, when a user finger touches one point of the split screen detection area, the electronic device can record the position of the point and take the position as a split screen position (namely, a first split screen position); then, the user can move a finger to an icon (hereinafter, referred to as an application icon a) of an application program that the user wants to trigger the electronic device to run, and stay for a certain period of time, and then the electronic device can determine that the application program indicated by the application icon a (hereinafter, referred to as the application program a) is an application program that needs to be run in a split screen manner. After that, the user continues to move the finger to another point of the split-screen detection area without releasing the finger, and at this time, the electronic device may record the position of the other point, and use the position as another split-screen position (i.e., a second split-screen position); then, the user can move the finger to an icon (hereinafter referred to as an application icon B) of another application program which the user wants to trigger the electronic device to run, stay for a certain period of time, and the electronic device can determine that the application program indicated by the application icon B (hereinafter referred to as the application program B) is another application program which needs to be run in a split screen mode. In this way, after the user releases the finger, the electronic device may run the application a and the application B, and display an interface of the application a (i.e., a first application interface) in the split-screen area corresponding to the first split-screen position, and display an interface of the application B (i.e., a second application interface) in the split-screen area corresponding to the second split-screen position.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second split-screen position and the first split-screen position may be located in the same split-screen detection area, or may be located in different split-screen detection areas.

In the embodiment of the present invention, for different situations, the split screen areas corresponding to the second split screen position are different, that is, the electronic device may display the second application program interface in different split screens in different areas.

Specifically, for the first case (the second split screen position and the first split screen position are located in the same split screen detection area), the electronic device may display a second application program interface in a third target area; for the second case (the second split-screen position is located in a different split-screen detection region from the first split-screen position), the electronic device may display the second application program interface in the fourth target region.

The above-mentioned S204 will be exemplarily described below with reference to these two cases (the above-mentioned case one and case two), respectively.

Alternatively, for the first case, the above S204 may be specifically implemented by the below-described S204 a.

S204a, the electronic device responds to the first input, and displays the application program interface indicated by the second application icon in the third target area.

The third target area may be an area of the fourth target area located on one side of the dividing line of the third split screen, and the fourth target area may be an area of the target screen other than the split screen area corresponding to the first split screen position.

Optionally, for the first case, in a case that the target screen is a first screen of the electronic device, the third split screen dividing line may be a split screen dividing line passing through a second split screen position on the first screen; alternatively, in a case where the target screen is a second screen of the electronic device, the third split screen dividing line may be a split screen dividing line passing through a position corresponding to the second split screen position on the second screen.

Alternatively, in the first case, when the target screen is the first screen, the third split screen dividing line may be a straight line or a curved line passing through the second split screen position on the first screen, and the third target area may be an area other than the split screen area corresponding to the first split screen position (i.e., the first target area) in the first screen.

It is to be understood that, in the first case, when the target screen is a first screen, the first split screen position and the second split screen position may both be located in the first split screen detection area.

In the embodiment of the present invention, for the description of the third split screen dividing line, reference may be specifically made to the description of the first split screen dividing line in the above embodiment, and in order to avoid repetition, details are not described here again.

In the first case, the case where the target screen is the first screen will be exemplarily described with reference to fig. 4.

For example, assuming that the first split-screen detection area is located at the left edge of the first screen of the electronic device, the first application icon is "icon 1", and the second application icon is "icon 2", as shown in fig. 4 (a), the user may slide from point a in the first split-screen detection area 31 (i.e., the first split-screen position) to point "icon 1" 32, then slide to point B in the first split-screen detection area 31 (i.e., the second split-screen position), and then slide to "icon 2" 34. In this manner, after the user releases the finger, as shown in fig. 4 (B), the electronic device may display "the interface of application 1" (i.e., the first application interface) in an area (i.e., the above-described first target area) between the top of the screen of the first screen of the electronic device to the straight line 33 passing through the point a (i.e., the first split screen boundary), and display "the interface of application 2" (i.e., the second application interface) in an area (i.e., the above-described third target area) between the straight line 33 passing through the point a and the straight line 35 passing through the point B.
