Abstract

An electronic device displays, on a first display of a foldable display, a user interface provided by a reading application, a user may flip over the electronic device, to trigger the electronic device to display, on a second display of the foldable display, a user interface provided by the reading application. In addition, the second display may display the user interface in a form suitable for reading by the user. The user can trigger, in an interaction manner of flipping over the electronic device, the electronic device to display, on the second display with reference to a currently running application or a current location, content that the user expects to view.

Claims (36)

1. An electronic device, comprising one or more processors, a memory, a foldable display, a first camera, and a second camera, wherein the foldable display, when folded, comprises a first display and a second display, an aspect ratio of the second display is less than an aspect ratio of the first display, the first camera is disposed on a same side of the electronic device as the first display, and the second camera is disposed at on a same side of the electronic device as the second display; and

wherein the memory and the foldable display are coupled to the one or more processors, the memory is configured to store computer program code, the computer program code comprises computer instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to perform following operations:

detecting that the foldable display is in a folded state, and displaying a first user interface of a first application on the first display, wherein the first application is a video call application, the first user interface comprises an image of a first user captured by the first camera and an image of a second user, the first user and the second user being in a video call, and the image of the first user captured by the first camera overlaps the image of the second user;

detecting whether the electronic device in the folded state is flipped over; and

when the electronic device in the folded state is flipped over, displaying a second user interface of the first application on the second display, wherein the second user interface comprises an image of the first user captured by the second camera and the image of the second user, and the image of the first user captured by the second camera does not overlap the image of the second user.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the computer instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device further to perform following operations:

before detecting that the foldable display is in the folded state, detecting that the foldable display is in an unfolded state, and displaying a third user interface of the first application, wherein the third user interface is displayed on both the first display and the second display, and the third user interface is an enlarged first user interface.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein displaying the third user interface of the first application comprises: displaying the third user interface of the first application on the foldable display in full screen.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the computer instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device further to stop power supply to the second display when displaying the first user interface of the first application on the first display.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the computer instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device further to stop power supply to the first display when displaying the second user interface of the first application on the second display.

6. A method, comprising:

detecting, by an electronic device, that a foldable display of the electronic device is in a folded state, wherein the electronic device comprises a first camera and a second camera, wherein the foldable display, when folded, comprises a first display and a second display, an aspect ratio of the second display is less than an aspect ratio of the first display, the first camera is disposed on a same side of the electronic device as the first display, and the second camera is disposed on a same side of the electronic device as the second display;

displaying, by the electronic device, a first user interface of a first application on the first display, wherein the first application is a video call application, the first user interface comprises an image of a first user captured by the first camera and an image of a second user, the first user and the second user are in a video call when the first user interface is displayed, and the image of the first user captured by the first camera overlaps the image of the second user;

detecting, by the electronic device, whether the electronic device in the folded state is flipped over; and

when it is detected that the electronic device in the folded state is flipped over, displaying, by the electronic device, a second user interface of the first application on the second display, wherein the second user interface comprises an image of the first user captured by the second camera and the image of the second user, and the image of the first user captured by the second camera does not overlap the image of the second user.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

before detecting that the foldable display is in the folded state, detecting that the foldable display is in an unfolded state, and displaying a third user interface of the first application, wherein the third user interface is displayed on both the first display and the second display, and the third user interface is an enlarged first user interface.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein displaying the third user interface of the first application comprises:

displaying the third user interface of the first application on the foldable display in full screen.

9. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

stopping power supply to the second display when displaying the first user interface of the first application on the first display.

10. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

stopping power supply to the first display when displaying the second user interface of the first application on the second display.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program that is executable by at least one processor, the program including instructions for:

detecting that a foldable display of an electronic device is in a folded state, wherein the electronic device comprises a first camera and a second camera, wherein the foldable display, when folded, comprises a first display and a second display, an aspect ratio of the second display is less than an aspect ratio of the first display, the first camera is disposed on a same side of the electronic device as the first display, and the second camera is disposed on a same side of the electronic device as the second display;

displaying a first user interface of a first application on the first display, wherein the first application is a video call application, the first user interface comprises an image of a first user captured by the first camera and an image of a second user, the first user and the second user are in a video call when the first user interface is displayed, and the image of the first user captured by the first camera overlaps the image of the second user;

detecting whether the electronic device in the folded state is flipped over; and

when it is detected that the electronic device in the folded state is flipped over, displaying a second user interface of the first application on the second display, wherein the second user interface comprises an image of the first user captured by the second camera and the image of the second user, and the image of the first user captured by the second camera does not overlap the image of the second user.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 11 , the program further including instructions for:

before detecting that the foldable display is in the folded state, detecting that the foldable display is in an unfolded state, and displaying a third user interface of the first application, wherein the third user interface is displayed on both the first display and the second display, and the third user interface is an enlarged first user interface.
