In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

For simplicity and clarity of description, the invention will be described below by describing several representative embodiments. Numerous details of the embodiments are set forth to provide an understanding of the principles of the invention. It will be apparent, however, that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. Some embodiments are not described in detail, but rather are merely provided as frameworks, in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the invention. Hereinafter, "including" means "including but not limited to", "according to … …" means "at least according to … …, but not limited to … … only". In view of the language convention of chinese, the following description, when it does not specifically state the number of a component, means that the component may be one or more, or may be understood as at least one.

In the embodiment of the invention, a task selection mode combining the characteristics of a folding screen is provided for solving the technical problem that the folding screen equipment in the prior art needs to select tasks through physical keys or virtual keys. When the folding screen is in a tiled state, if folding occurs, the task manager is started to display the task list, and then the user can toggle the left and right half screens to complete the selection of the task. And when the screen is restored to the tiled state again, the selected task can be displayed and operated. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention fully combines the characteristics of the folding screen, the user can complete the selection of the task and the switching among different tasks without touching the physical key or the virtual key without operating the screen, and the invention is quick and convenient.

As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

step 101: and when the folding screen containing the folding half screen is judged to be in the folding state, displaying the task list.

Step 102: and when the folding angle of the folding half screen is detected to be changed and the folding screen is still in the folding state, determining a task corresponding to the change from the task list.

Step 103: and selecting the determined task.

The folding screen intelligent device can be implemented as an external folding intelligent device or an internal folding intelligent device. The folding screen comprises two folding half screens, and a hinge structure is arranged between the folding half screens. When the foldable screen is in a flat state, the two foldable half screens are flat laid to be assembled into a complete foldable screen; when in the folded state, the two folding half-screens are separated from each other and have respective folding angles with respect to the hinge structure.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a foldable smart device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 2, in the folded-out smart device in the folded state, the display interfaces of the two folding half-screens are separated from each other.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a smart device that is folded internally according to an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 3, in the folded smart device in the folded state, the display interfaces of the two folding half-screens are close to each other.

In the embodiment of the present invention, whether the folding screen is in the flat or folded state may be determined by various types of sensors (e.g., a distance sensor or a pressure sensor), and whether the folding angle of the folding half screen is changed may also be determined based on various types of sensors (e.g., an angle sensor).

Wherein the distance sensor or the pressure sensor is arranged in the hinge of the two folding half screens. Further, respective angle sensors are provided in the respective folding half screens. The folding screen can be determined to be in a flat state or a folded state by a distance sensor or a pressure sensor, and the rotation direction of the corresponding folding half screen can be determined by an angle sensor. When the screen is in a flat state, the pressure at the intersection of the left half screen and the right half screen is the maximum (the distance is the shortest); when in the folded state, the pressure at the intersection is 0 (distance increases). From this, a pressure or distance sensor arranged at the contact of the left and right half screens can determine whether the folding screen is in a flat or folded state.

In the above description, the state of the folding screen and the rotation direction of the folding half screen are determined by the sensors, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

When the screen is converted from the flat state to the folding state (the folding angle ranges from 0 degree to 180 degrees), the task manager can be opened correspondingly through data feedback of the distance or pressure sensor so as to display the task list.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a flat state to a folded state according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is illustrated by taking a folded screen in a folded state as an example. Wherein: the task list contains APP1, APP0, and APP 2. APP0 is a currently running or recently running task; APP1 is a task started before APP 0; APP1 is a task that starts after APP 0.

In one embodiment, when it is detected in step 102 that the folding angle of the folding half-screen is changed and the folding screen is still in the folded state, selecting a task corresponding to the change from the task list includes: and when the operation of single stirring the folding half screen along the preset direction is detected and the folding screen is still in the folding state, selecting a previous starting task or a next starting task of the preset tasks in the task list.

In one embodiment, when it is detected in step 102 that the folding angle of the folding half-screen is changed and the folding screen is still in the folded state, selecting a task corresponding to the change from the task list comprises: and when the operation of poking the folding half screen for multiple times along the preset direction is detected and the folding screen is in the folding state, selecting the task at the end part of the task list, wherein N is a positive integer of at least 2.

In one embodiment, after selecting the determined task in step 103, the method further comprises: and when the folding screen is judged to be changed into the flat state, the selected task is operated.

In one embodiment, after presenting the task list in step 101, the method further comprises: when the folding screen is detected to be changed into a tiled state, selecting a previous starting task of a current task from the task list; and confirming the selected previous starting task as the updated current task.

In one embodiment, the folding screen smart device is a built-in folding smart device; when detecting that the folding angle of the folding half-screen is changed and the folding screen is still in the folding state in the step 102, determining that the task corresponding to the change in the task list comprises at least one of the following: when the fact that the folding angle of any folding half screen is increased and the folding screen is still in the folding state is detected, selecting a previous starting task of a current task from the task list; and when the folding angle of any folding half screen is reduced and the folding screen is still in the folding state, selecting the next starting task of the current task from the task list, and the like.

It is thus clear that to the smart machine in fold condition, the user can stir the folding half-screen on both sides about with the folding angle who changes folding half-screen. The angle sensor in each folding half screen can detect that the folding angle of the angle sensor changes.

Therefore, based on the acquisition of data from the angle sensor, it can be determined whether the operation is a toggle operation for the left half screen or a toggle operation for the right half screen. Wherein:

(1) and if the operation is the left half screen operation and the operation is inward, the task list in the task manager can be moved to the right once.

(2) If the operation is left half screen operation and outward operation, the task list in the task manager can be moved left once.

(3) And if the operation is right half screen operation and inward operation, the task list in the task manager is moved to the left once.

(4) And if the operation is right half screen operation and outward operation, the task list in the task manager is moved to the right once.

And when the left and right half-screens are not operated or deformed in a folded state and the screens are tiled again, the second nearest task in the task manager can be selected for displaying.

In one embodiment, the folding screen smart device is an external folding smart device; when detecting that the folding angle of the folding half screen is changed and the folding screen is still in the folding state in the step 102, determining that the task corresponding to the change from the task list comprises at least one of the following: when the fact that the folding angle of any folding half screen is increased and the folding screen is still in the folding state is detected, selecting a next starting task of the current task from the task list; and when the reduction of the folding angle of any folding half screen is detected and the folding screen is still in the folding state, selecting a previous starting task of the current task from the task list, and the like.

As can be seen from fig. 7, when toggling rapidly in one direction a number of times within a predetermined short time, a task at the end of the task list can be selected. For example, when the left half-screen is quickly shifted inward for two times, the task at the leftmost side is moved to the middle position, and the task is in a state to be selected.

As can be seen from fig. 8, when the user tiles the screen again after selecting a task, the selected task is run in the screen.

In one embodiment, an operating switch may also be provided, which supports the functionality shown in fig. 1 only when the operating switch is turned on. The position of the operating switch includes, but is not limited to, the system settings, and other quick set entries or positions may exist.

For example, an operation switch is added in the system setting; when the operation switch is opened, the folding screen is supposed to be flat, and then when the folding half screen is bent by a preset amplitude, the task manager is started; respectively selecting front and rear tasks by detecting the action of a user for dialing the left and right half screens; after the desired task is selected, the screen is tiled to display and run the selected task.

In fig. 9, first, the state of the folding screen is determined based on the distance sensor, wherein when the left and right half-screen distances are the preset maximum values, it is confirmed that the folding screen is completely folded, and the screen is turned off at this time; when the distance between the left half screen and the right half screen is a preset shortest value, determining that the folding screen is in a flat state; and when the distance between the left half screen and the right half screen is between the shortest value and the maximum value, determining that the distance is in a folded state, and starting the task manager to display the task list at the moment. And for the folding state, the toggle action of the user on the left folding half screen or the right folding half screen is further detected, and when the toggle action is confirmed to occur, the task list is correspondingly moved to select the task. Then, when the left and right half screen distances change to the shortest value, the state of the folding screen is determined to be changed to the flat state, and the selected task is displayed and run at the moment.

A specific application scenario of the embodiment of the present invention is described below.

A first application scenario: when a user is in a full-screen display content state, such as watching a movie and operating a game, the current operation needs to touch the screen to call out a virtual key or perform operation through a screen gesture, and the folding screen characteristic cannot be exerted. At this time, according to the embodiment of the invention, the folding angle is changed by shifting the folding half-screen in the folding state, so that the task list can be quickly switched to, and the required task can be selected.

A second application scenario: when a user needs to frequently switch between two related tasks during operation of the two related tasks, such as price comparison of certain goods in two shopping applications, the switching between the two applications can be quickly completed through two operations of folding and spreading.
