Abstract

This disclosure provides a prompting method and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a display screen and an exciter, where the exciter is configured to drive the display screen to give off a sound. The method includes: determining a target area, where the target area is an area on the display screen that has a sounding parameter meeting a preset condition when the display screen is driven by the exciter. The method further includes displaying prompt information in the target area, where the prompt information is used to prompt a user that an area in which the prompt information is displayed is the area that has a sounding parameter meeting a preset condition.

Claims (38)

1. A prompting method, applied to a mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a display screen and an exciter, and the exciter is configured to drive the display screen to give off a sound, causing a plurality of areas on the display screen to have different sounding parameters; and the method comprises:

determining a target area, wherein the target area is an area on the display screen that has a sounding parameter meeting a preset condition when the display screen is driven by the exciter; and

displaying prompt information in the target area, wherein the prompt information indicates to a user that the target area in which the prompt information is displayed has a sounding parameter meeting the preset condition.

2. The prompting method according to claim 1 , wherein after the displaying prompt information in the target area, the method further comprises:

detecting a positional relationship of the target area relative to a target object; and

if the positional relationship being a preset positional relationship is detected, controlling the mobile terminal to output a reminder message; wherein

the preset positional relationship comprises at least one of the following items: an alignment setting of the target area with the target object, or a relative distance between the target area and the target object being less than a preset distance.

3. The prompting method according to claim 2 , wherein the controlling the mobile terminal to output a reminder message comprises:

determining an output parameter of the reminder message based on the positional relationship; and

outputting the reminder message according to the output parameter.

4. The prompting method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying prompt information in the target area comprises:

when screen-off processing is required for the display screen, displaying the prompt information in the target area, and providing screen-off processing for other areas on the display screen than the target area.

5. The prompting method according to claim 1 , wherein the area that has a sounding parameter meeting a preset condition comprises at least one of an area that has a volume greater than a preset volume; or an area on the display screen that has a highest volume.

6. A mobile terminal comprising a display screen and an exciter, wherein the exciter is configured to drive the display screen to give off a sound, causing a plurality of areas on the display screen to have different sounding parameters, the mobile terminal further comprising:

a determining module configured to determine a target area, wherein the target area is an area on the display screen that has a sounding parameter meeting a preset condition when the display screen is driven by the exciter; and

a displaying module configured to display prompt information in the target area, wherein the prompt information indicates to a user that the target area in which the prompt information is displayed has a sounding parameter meeting the preset condition.

7. The mobile terminal according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a detection module configured to detect a positional relationship of the target area relative to a target object; and

a control module configured to control the mobile terminal to output a reminder message if the positional relationship being a preset positional relationship is detected; wherein

the preset positional relationship comprises at least one of the following items: an alignment setting of the target area with the target object, or a relative distance between the target area and the target object being less than a preset distance.

8. The mobile terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the control module comprises:

a determining sub-module configured to determine an output parameter of the reminder message based on the positional relationship; and

an output sub-module configured to output the reminder message according to the output parameter.

9. The mobile terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the displaying module is configured to, when the screen-off processing is required for the display screen, display the prompt information in the target area, and provide screen-off processing for other areas on the display screen than the target area.

10. The mobile terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the area that has a sounding parameter meeting a preset condition comprises at least one of an area that has a volume greater than a preset volume; or an area on the display screen that has a highest volume.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein when the computer program is executed by a processor, perform a prompting method, the prompting method comprising:

determining a target area, wherein the target area is an area on a display screen that has a sounding parameter meeting a preset condition when the display screen is driven by an exciter to give off a sound, wherein driving the display screen to give off the sound causes a plurality of areas on the display screen to have different sounding parameters; and

displaying prompt information in the target area, wherein the prompt information indicates to a user that the target area in which the prompt information is displayed has a sounding parameter meeting the preset condition.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein after the displaying prompt information in the target area, the method further comprises:

detecting a positional relationship of the target area relative to a target object; and

if the positional relationship being a preset positional relationship is detected, controlling the mobile terminal to output a reminder message; wherein

the preset positional relationship comprises at least one of the following items: an alignment setting of the target area with the target object, or a relative distance between the target area and the target object being less than a preset distance.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 12 , wherein the controlling the mobile terminal to output a reminder message comprises:

determining an output parameter of the reminder message based on the positional relationship; and

outputting the reminder message according to the output parameter.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the displaying prompt information in the target area comprises:

when screen-off processing is required for the display screen, displaying the prompt information in the target area, and providing screen-off processing for other areas on the display screen than the target area.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the area that has a sounding parameter meeting a preset condition comprises at least one of an area that has a volume greater than a preset volume; or an area on the display screen that has a highest volume.
