Abstract

An interface display method and a terminal are provided. The interface display method is applied to the terminal and includes: receiving a first input performed by a user on a target control in a case of displaying a user interface of a first application in a first region of a screen of the terminal, and the target control being used to indicate the first application and/or a second application; and responding to the first input and displaying a user interface of the second application in the first region.

Claims (66)

1. An interface display method, applied to a terminal and comprising:

receiving a first input performed by a user on a target control in a case of displaying a user interface of a first application in a first region of a screen of the terminal, and the target control being used to indicate the first application and/or a second application; and

responding to the first input and displaying a user interface of the second application in the first region,

wherein the target control comprises: at least two sub-controls, and each sub-control indicates one application, each sub-control indicates a different application,

wherein the receiving the first input performed by a user on a target control comprises:

receiving the first input performed by the user on a first sub-control in the target control, the first sub-control indicates the first application; and

the responding to the first input and displaying a user interface of the second application in the first region comprises:

responding to the first input and displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by a second sub-control in the first region, wherein

the second sub-control is determined by the first input,

wherein the responding to the first input and displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by a second sub-control in the first region comprises:

responding to the first input, and adjusting the first sub-control from a first acreage to a second acreage;

obtaining the second sub-control whose control acreage is the second acreage; and

displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by the second sub-control in the first region,

or

wherein the responding to the first input and displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by a second sub-control in the first region comprises:

responding to the first input, displaying an alternate control having a same initial control acreage with the first sub-control, and adjusting an acreage of the alternate control to the second acreage;

obtaining the second sub-control whose control acreage is the second acreage; and

displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by the second sub-control in the first region.

2. The interface display method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two sub-controls are in an overlapping state.

3. The interface display method according to claim 1 , wherein after the displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by the second sub-control in the first region, the method further comprises:

adjusting the second sub-control from the second acreage to the first acreage.

4. The interface display method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal comprises the first region and a second region;

before receiving the first input performed by the user on the target control, the user interface of the first application is displayed on the first region, and the user interface of the second application is displayed on the second region; and

after the displaying the user interface of the second application in the first region, the method further comprises:

displaying the user interface of the first application in the second region.

5. The interface display method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal comprises at least two regions; and

before the receiving the first input performed by the user on the target control, the method further comprises:

receiving a third input performed by the user;

obtaining a quantity N of regions in which the user interface of the application is displayed; and

responding to the third input, displaying the target control, the target control comprising N sub-controls, and each sub-control indicating an application displayed on one region, wherein

N is an integer greater than 1.

6. A terminal, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the program is executed by the processor to implement:

receiving a first input performed by a user on a target control in a case of displaying a user interface of a first application in a first region of a screen of the terminal, and the target control being used to indicate the first application and/or a second application; and

responding to the first input and displaying a user interface of the second application in the first region,

wherein the target control comprises: at least two sub-controls, and each sub-control indicates one application, each sub-control indicates a different application,

wherein the program is executed by the processor to implement:

receiving the first input performed by the user on a first sub-control in the target control, the first sub-control indicates the first application; and

wherein the program is executed by the processor to implement:

responding to the first input and display the user interface of the second application indicated by a second sub-control in the first region, where

the second sub-control is determined by the first input,

wherein the program is executed by the processor to implement:

responding to the first input, and adjust the first sub-control from a first acreage to a second acreage;

obtaining the second sub-control whose control acreage is the second acreage; and

displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by the second sub-control in the first region, or

wherein the program is executed by the processor to implement:

responding to the first input, display an alternate control having a same initial control acreage with the first sub-control, and adjust an acreage of the alternate control to the second acreage;

obtaining the second sub-control whose control acreage is the second acreage; and

displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by the second sub-control in the first region.

7. The terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the at least two sub-controls are in an overlapping state.

8. A computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor to implement:

receiving a first input performed by a user on a target control in a case of displaying a user interface of a first application in a first region of a screen of the terminal, and the target control being used to indicate the first application and/or a second application; and

responding to the first input and displaying a user interface of the second application in the first region,

wherein the target control comprises: at least two sub-controls, and each sub-control indicates one application, each sub-control indicates a different application,

wherein the computer program is executed by the processor to implement:

receiving the first input performed by the user on a first sub-control in the target control, the first sub-control indicates the first application; and

wherein the computer program is executed by the processor to implement:

responding to the first input and display the user interface of the second application indicated by a second sub-control in the first region, where

the second sub-control is determined by the first input,

wherein the computer program is executed by the processor to implement:

responding to the first input, and adjust the first sub-control from a first acreage to a second acreage;

obtaining the second sub-control whose control acreage is the second acreage; and

displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by the second sub-control in the first region, or

wherein the computer program is executed by the processor to implement:

responding to the first input, display an alternate control having a same initial control acreage with the first sub-control, and adjust an acreage of the alternate control to the second acreage;

obtaining the second sub-control whose control acreage is the second acreage; and

displaying the user interface of the second application indicated by the second sub-control in the first region.
