Abstract

A display control method is applied to a mobile terminal having a foldable display screen, wherein the display screen includes n display regions, where n is a positive integer of not less than 2. The method includes: identifying multimedia elements currently displayed in a first display region; filtering the identified multimedia elements to obtain a target multimedia element; and displaying the target multimedia element in a second display region. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, through effective display control on the n display regions of the display screen, the multimedia elements can be flexibly displayed among the n display regions.

Claims (49)

1. A display control method of a display screen, wherein the method is applied to a mobile terminal having a foldable display screen, the display screen comprises n display regions, n is 3, and the method comprises:

identifying multimedia elements currently displayed in a first display region;

filtering the identified multimedia elements to obtain a target multimedia element;

displaying the target multimedia element in a second display region; and

in response to a content viewing instruction for a first multimedia element received in the second display region, displaying a multimedia element, which is currently displayed in the first display region, in a third display region; and displaying content of the first multimedia element in the first display region, wherein the first multimedia element is any multimedia element displayed in the second display region.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

in response to a content viewing instruction for a second multimedia element received in a third display region, displaying a multimedia element, which is currently displayed in the first display region, in a third display region; and displaying content of the second multimedia element in the first display region, wherein the second multimedia element is any multimedia element displayed in the third display region.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the filtering the identified multimedia elements to obtain the target multimedia element comprises:

determining a type of each of the identified multimedia elements; and

classifying, when a type of a certain multimedia element is a target type, the certain multimedia element as the target multimedia element, wherein the certain multimedia element is any of the identified multimedia elements.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the filtering the identified multimedia elements to obtain the target multimedia element comprises:

acquiring user preference information; and

filtering the identified multimedia elements according to the user preference information to obtain the target multimedia element.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

performing, in response to a target-triggering operation acquired in the first display region, the steps of identifying multimedia elements currently displayed in the first display region, filtering the identified multimedia elements, and displaying a target multimedia element obtained by the filtering in the second display region.

6. A mobile terminal implementing the method of claim 1 , comprising the foldable display screen, wherein the foldable display screen comprises an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) touch screen.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , further comprising a camera and a flash light, wherein the foldable display screen is configured to be folded outwards, and the camera and the flashlight are disposed in one of the first display area and the second display area facing away from a user; and wherein the mobile terminal is configured to automatically determine an identification range according to a touch control operation executed by the user in the first display region.

8. A display control apparatus of a display screen, wherein the apparatus is applied to a mobile terminal having a foldable display screen, the display screen comprising n display regions, n is 3, and the apparatus comprises:

a processor; and

memory storing instructions for execution by the processor to:

identify multimedia elements currently displayed in a first display region;

filter the identified multimedia elements to obtain a target multimedia element;

display the target multimedia element in a second display region; and

in response to a content viewing instruction for a first multimedia element received in the second display region, display a multimedia element, which is currently displayed in the first display region, in a third display region; and display content of the first multimedia element in the first display region, wherein the first multimedia element is any multimedia element displayed in the second display region.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

in response to a content viewing instruction for a second multimedia element received in a third display region, display a multimedia element, which is currently displayed in the first display region, in a third display region; and display content of the second multimedia element in the first display region, wherein the second multimedia element is any multimedia element displayed in the third display region.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the filtering the identified multimedia elements to obtain the target multimedia element comprises:

determining a type of each of the identified multimedia elements; and

classifying, when a type of a certain multimedia element is a target type, the certain multimedia element as the target multimedia element, wherein the certain multimedia element is any of the identified multimedia elements.

11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the filtering the identified multimedia elements to obtain the target multimedia element comprises:

acquiring user preference information; and

filtering the identified multimedia elements according to the user preference information to obtain the target multimedia element.

12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform, in response to a target-triggering operation acquired in the first display region, the steps of identifying multimedia elements currently displayed in the first display region, filtering the identified multimedia elements, and displaying a target multimedia element obtained by the filtering in the second display region.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a computer program instruction, which, when being executed by a processor, implements a display control method of the display screen, wherein the method is applied to a mobile terminal having a foldable display screen, the display screen comprises n display regions, n is 3, and the computer program instruction is configured to:

identify multimedia elements currently displayed in a first display region;

filter the identified multimedia elements to obtain a target multimedia element;

display the target multimedia element in a second display region; and

in response to a content viewing instruction for a first multimedia element received in the second display region, display a multimedia element, which is currently displayed in the first display region, in a third display region; and display content of the first multimedia element in the first display region, wherein the first multimedia element is any multimedia element displayed in the second display region.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the computer program instruction is further configured to:

in response to a content viewing instruction for a second multimedia element received in a third display region, display a multimedia element, which is currently displayed in the first display region, in a third display region; and display content of the second multimedia element in the first display region, wherein the second multimedia element is any multimedia element displayed in the third display region.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the filtering the identified multimedia elements to obtain the target multimedia element comprises:

determining a type of each of the identified multimedia elements; and
