The following describes a software environment to which the display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by taking the operating system shown in fig. 1 as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a possible operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the operating system includes 4 layers, respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application.

The system runtime layer includes a library (also referred to as a system library) and an operating system runtime environment.

The kernel layer is the operating system layer of the operating system and belongs to the lowest layer of the operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking the operating system shown in fig. 1 as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the display method may run based on the operating system shown in fig. 1. That is, the processor or the electronic device may implement the display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention by running the software program in the operating system.

A display method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a display method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the display method may include the following steps S201 and S202:

s201, the electronic equipment receives a first input of a user.

It is understood that if the user needs to adjust the volume, the user may input a first input on the electronic device.

For example, the first input may be an input of a user on a screen, for example, the first input may be an input sliding according to a preset trajectory. The first input may also be an input by the user pressing a volume key (physical key). For example, in a case where the volume key of the electronic device includes two physical keys, i.e., the electronic device includes a volume up key and a volume down key, the first input may be an input in which the user presses any one of the volume keys. If the volume key of the electronic device is a physical key, the first input may be an input of a user pressing any position of the volume key.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the volume mode of the electronic device may include: volume of ring tone, volume of media, volume of notification, volume of alarm clock, volume of call, volume of smart voice, etc.

S202, the electronic equipment responds to the first input, M volume controls are sequentially displayed along the target side edge of the screen of the electronic equipment, and the distance between the first edge of each volume control in the M volume controls and the target side edge is smaller than or equal to a preset threshold value.

The M volume controls correspond to the M volume modes one by one, the first edge of each volume control is an edge close to the side edge of the target, and M is an integer larger than 1.

It should be noted that the first edge is an edge displayed along the target side of the electronic device among the edges of the volume control.

For example, the first edge of each volume control is one of two edges parallel to the target side, for example, the first edge of each volume control is an edge with a smaller distance from the target side among the two edges parallel to the target side.

It is understood that the second edge of one volume control and the first edge of the one volume control are two adjacent edges, and the second edge of the volume control may be an edge displayed perpendicular to the target side edge.

In this embodiment of the present invention, lengths of the second sides of the M volume controls may be the same or different, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the volume control may be a rectangle formed by a straight line, or may be a rectangle-like graph formed by a curved line, for example, the side of the volume control may be a straight line segment, a wavy line segment, a curved line segment with circular arcs at two end points of the straight line in the middle, or an arc segment, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned "sequentially displaying M volume controls along the target side of the electronic device screen" may be used to indicate that each volume control of the M volume controls is displayed along the target side of the electronic device screen.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the target side may be one or more of a left frame, a right frame, an upper frame and a lower frame of a screen of the electronic device.

Optionally, the target side may be a fixed screen side, or may also be a screen side determined according to a use habit of a user, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a distance between the first edge of each volume control and the target side edge may be smaller than or equal to a preset threshold.

For example, the distance between the first edge of each volume control and the target side edge may be 0, that is, the volume control is displayed by being attached to the side edge of the screen, and of course, the distance between the first edge of each volume control and the target side edge may also be 1 mm, 2 mm, and the like. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the specific value of the distance between the first edge of the volume control and the target side edge.

Optionally, the distance between the first edge of each of the M volume controls and the target side may be the same or different, and this is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the length of the first side may be fixed, or may be changed according to the volume. For example, the length of the first side of a volume control may be proportional to the volume level corresponding to the volume control.

For example, the length of the first side of each volume control may be adjustable, the first side of the volume control may be the height of the volume control, and the second side of the volume control may be the width of the volume control. The height of the volume control can be used to characterize the volume of the volume mode corresponding to the volume control.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the widths (i.e., the lengths of the second sides) of the M volume controls may be selected to be narrower, so that more screen area is avoided.

Specifically, the M volume controls may be M touch areas with different marks on the screen. The M touch areas may be continuous screen areas or screen areas with intervals, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention. For example, the M volume controls may be rectangular touch areas with different marked screen edges, and the electronic device may use different display positions to distinguish a volume mode corresponding to each volume control in the M volume controls, or may use the touch areas filled with different colors or filled with different patterns to distinguish a volume mode corresponding to each volume control.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a display interface of a display method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, different patterns are filled in each touch area to distinguish different volume controls, and the left side 3a of the electronic device attached to the screen displays a volume control 31, a volume control 32, a volume control 33, and a volume control 34. The height of each volume control may be used to characterize the current volume level for each volume mode. Wherein, the height of the volume control 31 is H31 (i.e. the length of the first side), and the width is L0 (i.e. the length of the second side), and the user can adjust the volume of the ring tone through the volume control 31; the height of the volume control 32 is H32, the width is L0, and the user can adjust the volume of the media through the volume control 32; the height of the volume control 33 is H33, the width is L0, and a user can adjust the volume of the alarm clock through the volume control 33; the volume control 34 has a height H44 and a width L0, and the user can adjust the volume of the notification through the volume control 34.

Illustratively, the first input may be a user's press input on the physical volume key 30 shown in fig. 3.

It should be noted that, in the above example, only one of the four frames with the target side as the screen is taken as an example for description, and in practical applications, the four volume controls may be displayed at screen positions corresponding to multiple frames. In connection with fig. 3, the target side may be one or more of a left frame 3a of a screen of the electronic device, a right frame 3b of the screen, an upper frame 3c of the screen, and a lower frame 3d of the screen. For example, the electronic device may display a volume control 31 and a volume control 32 on the left frame 3a of the fit screen, and may display a volume control 33 and a volume control 34 on the right frame 3b of the fit screen.

It can be understood that the user can adjust (turn up or turn down) the volume in the corresponding volume mode through the volume control displayed by the electronic device. For example, referring to fig. 3, if the user slides to the top of the screen at the position of the volume control 33, the electronic device may be triggered to turn up the volume of the alarm clock, and if the user slides to the bottom of the screen at the position of the volume control 33, the electronic device may be triggered to turn down the volume of the alarm clock. Of course, the user may also press for a long time at point a of the volume control 33, the electronic device may turn down the volume of the alarm clock according to the time of the long press, the user presses for a long time at point B of the volume control 33, and the electronic device may turn up the volume of the alarm clock according to the time of the long press.

According to the display method provided by the embodiment of the invention, after the electronic equipment receives the first input of the user, the electronic equipment can respond to the first input and sequentially display the M volume controls along the target side edge of the screen of the electronic equipment, and the distance between the first edge of each volume control in the M volume controls and the target side edge is smaller than or equal to the preset threshold value. On the one hand, because the M volume controls correspond to the M volume modes one to one, the electronic equipment can display the M volume controls corresponding to the M volume modes according to one input of a user, therefore, when volume control is carried out, the electronic equipment can be triggered to display a plurality of volume controls without redundant operation of the user, for example, the user presses a physical volume key, the volume controls of a plurality of volume modes can be displayed, the operation steps of adjusting the volume by the user are simplified, and the volume adjustment is more convenient. On the other hand, the M volume controls are all displayed along the side of the target, so that a user can easily operate each volume control under the condition of single-hand operation along the side of the target, the volume controls are all displayed along the side of the screen, the occupied area of the screen is small, and the display influence on other contents in the screen is small under the scene that the user uses the electronic equipment to watch videos, read and play games.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target side is a screen edge corresponding to a side frame held by a holding hand when the user holds the electronic device with one hand; or the target side is the screen edge corresponding to the screen area with the highest user operation frequency; or, the target side is a screen edge corresponding to one of the left side frame and the right side frame of the electronic device when the electronic device is in the horizontal screen display state.

Specifically, after receiving the first input of the user (i.e., after S201 described above), the electronic device may determine whether the electronic device is in the preset state.

Wherein, the preset state may include any one of the following: the electronic equipment is held by the left hand of a user and the electronic equipment is held by the right hand of the user, and the electronic equipment is in a horizontal screen state.

Optionally, if the electronic device determines that the user holds the electronic device with one hand at the left, the left screen frame may be determined as the target side according to the position where the user holds the electronic device with one hand at the left. If the electronic equipment determines that the user holds the electronic equipment with the right hand by one hand, the right screen frame can be determined as the target side edge according to the position where the user holds the electronic equipment with the right hand by one hand.

Specifically, the electronic device may identify whether the user is currently held with one hand by the left hand or the right hand according to a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, or the like.

Referring to fig. 3, if the user holds the electronic device with one hand, the target side may be a left frame 3a of the screen, and if the user holds the electronic device with the right hand, the target side may be a right frame 3b of the screen.

Optionally, if the electronic device determines that the user often operates in the left screen area of the electronic device according to the historical behavior data of the user, it may be determined that the left screen frame is the target side. If the electronic device determines that the user often operates in the right screen area of the electronic device according to the historical behavior data of the user, the right screen frame can be determined as the target side.

Specifically, the target side edge may be determined according to the operation parameters (the number of clicks, the number of slides, the operation duration, and the like) of the user on different screen areas. For example, if the number of operations (e.g., 99) of the user on the left screen is much greater than the number of operations (e.g., 2) on the right screen within the preset time period, the left screen frame may be determined as the target side. If the operation times of the user on the right screen within the preset time length are far more than the operation times on the left screen, the right screen frame can be determined as the target side.

If the electronic device determines that the electronic device is in the landscape state, at least one of a left frame and a right frame of a screen of the electronic device in the landscape state may be determined as a target side.

Referring to fig. 3, the screen side 3c may be a left frame of the screen in the landscape state, and the screen side 3d may be a right frame of the screen in the landscape state. Alternatively, the screen side 3c may be a right frame of the screen in the landscape state, and the screen side 3d may be a left frame of the screen in the landscape state.

It can be understood that under the condition that electronic equipment is in the horizontal screen state, electronic equipment can show M volume controls in the left side and the at least one in the right side of screen under the horizontal screen state, show at the left side or the right side limit of screen, can reduce the screen area that the volume control occupy, under the condition that user's both hands held the left and right sides, can avoid showing the condition that the operation that two sides lead to about can not reach, for example, the user watches movie & TV works or plays the recreation under electronic equipment is in the horizontal screen state, the user operation of can being convenient for reaches the volume control, it is more convenient to adjust the volume.

Based on the scheme, the electronic equipment can select the target side according to the position held by one hand of the user, namely the display positions of the M volume controls can be flexibly adjusted and displayed according to the holding state of the user, and under the condition that the user holds the electronic equipment by one hand, the user does not need to adjust the holding gesture, so that the volume of the electronic equipment in each volume mode can be quickly adjusted, and the volume can be adjusted more conveniently. The electronic equipment can also select the screen side corresponding to the screen area frequently operated by the user as the target side according to the historical behavior data of the user, so that the position of the displayed volume control better conforms to the habit of the user when the user adjusts the volume. The electronic equipment can also adjust the display position of the display volume control according to whether the electronic equipment is in a horizontal screen state or not, so that the user operation is facilitated, and the volume can be adjusted more conveniently.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may display the specific volume value on the volume control, or may not display the specific volume value, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the display size of the volume controls may indicate the volume value of the current volume, for example, the maximum display sizes of the M volume controls are all the same, and the ratio of the actual display size of the volume controls to the maximum display size may indicate the actual volume value in the current volume mode. Referring to fig. 3, the maximum display height of each volume control is H0, the current volume value of the ring tone may be (H31/H0) volume maximum, the current volume value of the media may be (H32/H0) (volume maximum), the current volume value of the alarm clock may be (H33/H0) (volume maximum), and the current volume value of the notification may be (H34/H0) (volume maximum).

After receiving the first input of the user, the electronic device may not display the specific volume value on the volume control, and if the user selects to adjust the volume of one volume mode, the electronic device may display the current volume value on the volume control of the volume mode after selecting the volume mode.

Optionally, after the above S202, the display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following S203 and S204:

s203, the electronic equipment receives a second input of selecting the first volume control from the M volume controls by the user.

Illustratively, the second input is an input of a contact by the user, such as a click, press, slide, etc., on the screen at the display location where the first volume control is located.

It will be appreciated that the second input may be a user input to adjust the volume, for example, the second input may be a user input to slide up the first volume control or the second input may be a user input to slide down the first volume control.

S204, the electronic equipment responds to the second input, and displays the volume numerical value currently indicated by the first volume control and the volume adjustable range of the first volume control in the display area where the first volume control is located.

For example, the electronic device may use different fill (colors or patterns) to indicate the current volume and volume adjustable range. For example, the current volume is filled in color, and the range can be enlarged by filling in gray.

Fig. 4 is a schematic display interface diagram of a display method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and if the user clicks on the volume control 32 in fig. 3 (i.e., a second input), the electronic device may display a white filled area shown by 32a, and display a value 0 at the bottom of 32, a value 6 at the top of 32, and a value 10 at the top of 32 a. Wherein, the total height of 32a and 32 is the adjustable range of the volume of the media, i.e. the maximum value of the volume of the media is 10, and the minimum value of the volume of the media is 0.

Specifically, if the second input is an input for adjusting the volume by the user, the height of the first volume control may change with the change of the input parameter of the second input, and the displayed actual volume value may also change with the change of the input parameter of the second input. For example, the user turns the volume of the media up, the height of the area 32 increases and the value displayed on the area 32 increases.

Based on the scheme, after the user selects the first volume control, the electronic device can display the volume value currently indicated by the first volume control and the volume adjustable range of the first volume control on the first volume control, and can prompt the user of the current volume value and the adjustable range of the volume, so that the user can conveniently refer to the volume value and the adjustable range of the volume in the adjustment process.

Optionally, after the above S202, the display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following S205 to S208:

s205, the electronic equipment receives a third input that the user selects a second volume control from the M volume controls.

Illustratively, the third input may be a user input to click a second volume control.

S206, the electronic equipment responds to the third input and displays the first indication track and the second indication track.

The first indication track prompts the user to turn up the volume, and the second indication track prompts the user to turn down the volume.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first track and the second track may be tracks parallel to the target side or tracks non-parallel to the target side.

For example, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an indication track provided by an embodiment of the present invention, if a user selects the volume control 31 in fig. 3, as shown in (a) of fig. 5, the electronic device may display an indication track 31a and an indication track 31b parallel to the left frame 3a, the indication track 31a may indicate to turn up the volume, and the indication track 31b may indicate to turn down the volume. If the user selects the volume control 31 in fig. 3, as shown in (b) of fig. 5, the electronic device may also display an indication track 31c and an indication track 31d which are not parallel to the left frame 3a, the indication track 31c may indicate turning up the volume, and the indication track 31d may indicate turning down the volume.

It is understood that in the case where the user needs to finely adjust the volume, the user may finely adjust according to the first indication track and the second indication track (for example, the cue track of the orientation shown in (a) in fig. 5). When the volume control selected by the user is a volume control inconvenient to operate, the area of upward sliding is small, or the area of downward sliding is small, for example, the second volume control is a volume control close to the top end of the side edge of the target or the bottom end of the screen, or the distance between the area capable of sliding and the adjacent volume control is large, the electronic device may display a track of the orientation shown in (b) in fig. 5, which may prompt the user to turn up the volume according to the orientation of 31c, and turn down the volume according to the orientation of 31 d.

And S207, the electronic equipment receives a fourth input by the user according to the target indication track.

The target indication track is one of the first indication track and the second indication track.

Optionally, the fourth input may be a long press input or a slide input, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the fourth input may be an input that the user presses long at the position of the first prompt track or the second prompt track, or an input that slides in the direction of the first prompt track or the direction of the second prompt track.

And S208, the electronic equipment responds to the fourth input, and adjusts the volume corresponding to the second volume control according to the input parameter of the fourth input.

Wherein the input parameters of the fourth input may include: a length of time input along the target-indicated trajectory, a length of trajectory input along the target-indicated trajectory.

Based on the scheme, when the input that the user selects the second volume control from the M volume controls is received, the electronic equipment can display an indication track on the screen, the first indication track can prompt the user to turn up the volume, the second indication track can prompt the user to turn down the volume, and the range of an adjustment area can be enlarged under the condition that the user needs fine adjustment or is inconvenient to adjust on the volume controls. So that the user can conveniently adjust the volume according to the prompting track.

When the user needs to adjust the volume of one mode to be mute, the user can slide on the volume control to gradually adjust the volume to be mute, or can quickly adjust the volume to be mute in the following manner.

Optionally, after the foregoing S202, the display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following S209 and S210:

and S209, the electronic equipment receives a fifth input of the user, wherein the fifth input is an input of the user sliding towards a third volume control piece in the M volume control pieces along the preset direction on the screen.

For example, the fifth input is an input that is vertical to the target side and slides toward a third volume control of the M volume controls.

For example, in the case where the target side is the left side of the screen, the fifth input may be an input by the user sliding on the screen to the third volume control on the left side, and in the case where the target side is the right side of the screen, the fifth input may be an input by the user sliding on the screen to the third volume control on the right side.

S210, the electronic equipment responds to the fifth input, and volume of a volume mode corresponding to the third volume control piece is adjusted to be zero.
