Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a display control method provided by another embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the embodiment of the present invention and the previous embodiment mainly lies in that if the target display area satisfies the preset screen-off condition, the target display area is further limited to be turned off. In this embodiment of the present invention, if the target display area satisfies a preset screen-off condition, turning off the target display area includes: if it is determined that the target display area has not received an operation from the user within a preset time period, and/ Or if the application programs running in the foreground on the target display area do not include a preset application program, the target display area is turned off.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the display control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

Step 201: Determine a first display area of the folding screen, where the first display area is a display area with a user's visual focus among at least two display areas of the folding screen.

This step may be the same as the above-mentioned step 101, and in order to avoid repetition, it will not be repeated here.

Step 202: Determine a target display area according to the position information of the second display area and the first display area, where the second display area is the at least two display areas of the folding screen except the first display area. Display area.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the position information of the second display area and the first display area may include the angle between each display area in the second display area and the first display area, or the angle between each display area in the second display area and the first display area. The connection relationship of the first display area determines the target display area.

Optionally, the above step 202, that is, determining the target display area according to the position information of the second display area and the first display area, may include:

detecting the included angle between each display area in the second display area and the first display area;

If there is a display area in the second display area with an included angle greater than a preset angle with the first display area, the angle between the second display area and the first display area is greater than the preset angle The display area of is determined as the target display area.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned preset angle may be reasonably set according to the actual situation, for example, 180 degrees. The included angle here refers to the angle value from one display area to another display area, and the angle value is greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 360°. For ease of understanding, the following examples are used to describe the embodiments of the present invention:

For example, the folding screen of the mobile terminal is folded and divided into 4 display areas, that is, divided into display area a, display area b, display area c and display area d which are connected in sequence. If the display area currently viewed by the user is display area b , then the display area b is the display area with the user's visual focus. When the angle between the display area a and the display area b is greater than the preset angle, the display area a can be determined as the target display area. When the included angle is less than or equal to the preset angle, it can be determined that the display area a is not the target display area.

In practical applications, when the angle between a certain display area of the folding screen and the display area currently being viewed by the user is large, the user is often not using the display area or watching the content displayed in the display area. Whether the display area satisfies the preset screen-off condition for screen-off control can reduce the probability of mistakenly closing the display area that the user needs to use.

Optionally, in the above step 202, the determining the target display area according to the position information of the second display area and the first display area may include:

If there is a display area that is not connected to the first display area in the second display area, the display area that is not connected to the first display area in the second display area is determined as the target display area.

For example, the folding screen of the mobile terminal is folded and divided into 4 display areas, that is, divided into display area a, display area b, display area c and display area d which are connected in sequence. If the display area currently viewed by the user is display area b , then the display area b is the display area with the user's visual focus. Since the display area d is not adjacent to the display area b, it means that the user is probably not using the display area d or watching the content displayed in the display area d. , the display area d can be determined as the target display area, and it can be further judged whether the display area d satisfies the preset screen-off condition, so as to carry out the screen-off control, thereby reducing the probability of mistakenly closing the display area that the user needs to use.

Optionally, the embodiment of the present invention may also combine the angle between each display area in the second display area and the first display area and the angle between each display area in the second display area and the first display area. The connection relationship of the areas determines the target display area, for example, the second display area and the first display area in the display area whose included angle is greater than the preset angle, and the second display area and the first display area The display areas whose display areas are not connected are determined as target display areas.

For example, a third display area in the second display area that is not connected to the first display area may be detected first, and then a display area other than the third display area in the second display area may be further detected. , a fourth display area whose included angle with the first display area is greater than a preset angle, and both the third display area and the fourth display area may be determined as target display areas.

Step 203: If it is determined that the target display area does not receive an operation from the user within a preset time period, and/or the application program running in the foreground on the target display area does not include a preset application program, then turn off the target display area. Display area.

The above preset duration can be set reasonably according to the actual situation, for example, 1 minute, 1.5 minutes, or 2 minutes. The above preset application may be an application that needs to keep the screen bright, for example, a video application.

Specifically, when the target display area does not receive the user's operation within a preset period of time, there is a high possibility that the user does not need to use the target display area at the moment, so the target display area can be closed to reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal. The power consumption of the folding screen extends the battery life of the mobile terminal.

In addition, in practice, there are some applications that need to keep the display area on the screen when they are running, for example, video applications. Therefore, in order to ensure that the above applications can be displayed normally, it is possible to detect that the target display area is running in the foreground. Whether there are applications that need to keep the screen bright (that is, the preset application), and the applications that can run in the foreground on the target display area include applications that need to keep the screen bright, keep the target display area bright When the application program running in the foreground of the target display area does not include the application program that needs to keep the screen bright, the target display area can be closed to reduce the power consumption of the folding screen of the mobile terminal and prolong the battery life of the mobile terminal.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, an application program that needs to keep the screen bright (that is, a preset application program) can be preset, or an application program that needs to keep the screen bright can be set by the user. The setting item for setting the application that needs to keep the screen bright, for the user to set the application that needs to keep the screen bright.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the target display area may also be turned off when no user operation is received within a preset period of time, and the application program running in the foreground on the target display area does not include a preset application program. area to reduce the power consumption of the folding screen of the mobile terminal, prolong the battery life of the mobile terminal, and not affect the use of the user.

It can be understood that, if the target display area receives the user's operation within the preset time period, or the application program running in the foreground in the target display area includes the preset application program, the process can be ended, or the above step 201 can be returned to. . For example, if the target display area receives the user's operation within the preset time period, the above step 201 may be executed after the user's operation ends. If the application programs running in the foreground in the target display area include the preset application program, Then, the preset application running in the foreground in the target display area may end running or enter the background and return to the above step 201 .

Optionally, before the above step 101 or the above step 201, the method may further include:

If a folding operation for the folding screen is detected, the entire display area of the folding screen is lit.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned folding operation for the folding screen may also be referred to as the bending operation for the folding screen. In practical applications, the user can fold the folding screen according to actual needs to divide the folding screen into multiple display areas. It can be understood that, every time the user folds the folding screen, the folding screen can re-divide the display area based on the user's folding operation.

Specifically, before the first display area of the folding screen is determined, if a folding operation for the folding screen is detected, all display areas of the folding screen can be lit, so that the mobile terminal can divide the display area according to the folding operation.

Optionally, after the above step 103 or the above step 203, the method further includes:

If a folding operation for the folding screen is detected, the entire display area of the folding screen is illuminated; or
