Abstract

A display method includes: in a case that a first area of a screen displays a running interface of a first application, receiving a bending operation performed by a user for the terminal; and in response to the bending operation, displaying a target mark in a second area of the screen, and displaying the running interface of the first application in a third area of the screen. The third area does not overlap the second area, and the target mark is used to indicate at least one of an unread message, a second application, or a target function.

Claims (42)

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

in a case that a first area of a screen displays a running interface of a first application, receiving a bending operation performed by a user for the terminal; and

in response to the bending operation, displaying a target mark in a second area of the screen, and displaying the running interface of the first application in a third area of the screen, wherein the third area does not overlap the second area; wherein

the target mark is used to indicate at least one of an unread message, a second application, or a target function.

2. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the second application is an application associated with the first application, or the second application is an application that is started for more times in a preset time period, or the second application is an application running in the background.

3. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the second application is a same as the first application, and the method further comprises:

receiving a first input for the target mark; and

in response to the first input, controlling the first application to run in the background, or controlling the first application to exit running.

4. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein in a case that the target mark is used to indicate an unread message, the method further comprises:

receiving a second input for the target mark; and

displaying specific content of the unread message in the second area in response to the second input.

5. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the target function is at least one of an identity authentication function, a terminal shutdown function, or a terminal restarting function.

6. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the target mark is used to indicate the target function, and the target function is a function item comprised in the first application.

7. The display method according to claim 6 , wherein the first application is a multimedia play application, and the target function is a play control function for the first application, or a volume adjustment function for the first application, or a display brightness adjustment function for the first application.

8. A terminal device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a program that is stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to perform:

in a case that a first area of a screen displays a running interface of a first application, receiving a bending operation performed by a user for the terminal; and

in response to the bending operation, displaying a target mark in a second area of the screen, and displaying the running interface of the first application in a third area of the screen, wherein the third area does not overlap the second area; wherein

the target mark is used to indicate at least one of an unread message, a second application, or a target function.

9. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the second application is an application associated with the first application, or the second application is an application that is started for more times in a preset time period, or the second application is an application running in the background.

10. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the second application is a same as the first application, and the program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to further perform:

receiving a first input for the target mark; and

in response to the first input, controlling the first application to run in the background, or controlling the first application to exit running.

11. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein in a case that the target mark is used to indicate an unread message, the program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to further perform:

receiving a second input for the target mark; and

displaying specific content of the unread message in the second area in response to the second input.

12. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the target function is at least one of an identity authentication function, a terminal shutdown function, or a terminal restarting function.

13. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the target mark is used to indicate the target function, and the target function is a function item comprised in the first application.

14. The terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein the first application is a multimedia play application, and the target function is a play control function for the first application, or a volume adjustment function for the first application, or a display brightness adjustment function for the first application.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is configured to store a computer-executable instruction, and the computer-executable instruction, when executed by a processor of a terminal device, causes the terminal device to perform:

in a case that a first area of a screen displays a running interface of a first application, receiving a bending operation performed by a user for the terminal; and

in response to the bending operation, displaying a target mark in a second area of the screen, and displaying the running interface of the first application in a third area of the screen, wherein the third area does not overlap the second area; wherein

the target mark is used to indicate at least one of an unread message, a second application, or a target function.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the second application is an application associated with the first application, or the second application is an application that is started for more times in a preset time period, or the second application is an application running in the background.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the second application is a same as the first application, and the computer-executable instruction, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to further perform:

receiving a first input for the target mark; and

in response to the first input, controlling the first application to run in the background, or controlling the first application to exit running.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein in a case that the target mark is used to indicate an unread message, the computer-executable instruction, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to further perform:

receiving a second input for the target mark; and

displaying specific content of the unread message in the second area in response to the second input.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the target function is at least one of an identity authentication function, a terminal shutdown function, or a terminal restarting function; and/or

the target mark is used to indicate the target function, and the target function is a function item comprised in the first application.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 19 , wherein the first application is a multimedia play application, and the target function is a play control function for the first application, or a volume adjustment function for the first application, or a display brightness adjustment function for the first application.
