It should be understood that the technical content in the subsequent embodiments is also applicable to the split screen control of the electronic device comprising the flexible screen, and it should be understood that the electronic devices in the subsequent embodiments all represent foldable electronic devices comprising a folding screen.

A mode for starting a plurality of application programs on a foldable electronic device in a split screen mode is that a user starts one application program, and the folding angle of a folding screen is adjusted, so that the user can execute the operation on the application program on one screen; subsequently, another application is started so that the user can perform an operation on the application on another screen. Therefore, the user needs to perform at least 3 operations to start the multiple applications in a split screen manner, which results in a complex process of starting the applications in a split screen manner.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for starting an application according to an embodiment of the present application. The starting method of the application program provided by the embodiment of the application program comprises the following steps:

s101, when the first input is received, target information is acquired.

The target information comprises a target folding angle of the folding screen and application program information.

In this step, the application information represents M applications corresponding to N screen regions, where M is greater than or equal to N.

It should be understood that in some embodiments, one screen region may correspond to multiple applications, for example, screen region a corresponds to applications a and B and screen region B corresponds to application C, in which case the application information includes a mapping of screen region a and applications a and B and a mapping of screen region B to application C.

The first input may be a touch input of a user for a control displayed on the folding screen, for example, the folding screen displays a plurality of controls, each control corresponds to one piece of target information, the touch input of the user for one control is received, and the target information corresponding to the control is acquired.

It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the first input described above may also be a voice input by the user.

In this embodiment, if the electronic device starts a plurality of application programs in a split screen manner, the folding angle of the folding screen in this state and the mapping relationship between each screen area and the application program corresponding to each screen area are obtained. It should be understood that if the content displayed in a screen area is an interface after an application program is started, the screen area is determined to correspond to the application program.

And determining the mapping relation between each screen area and the application program corresponding to each screen area as application program information, and combining and packaging the target folding angle and the application program information to obtain target information.

For example, in the process of using the electronic device, if the user adjusts the folding angle of the folding screen of the electronic device to 90 degrees, starts the application program a in the screen area a, and starts the application program B in the screen area B, in this case, it is determined that the target folding angle is 90 degrees; the mapping relationship between the screen area a and the application a, and the mapping relationship between the screen area B and the application B are taken as application information. And generating target information based on the application information and the target folding angle.

Therefore, under the condition that the first input is received, the target information is obtained, the folding angle of the folding screen is 90 degrees, the interface after the application program A is started is displayed in the screen area A, the interface after the application program B is started is displayed in the screen area B, and the split screen starting of the application program is achieved.

It should be understood that, in some embodiments, in the case that the duration of the electronic device starting the multiple applications in a split screen mode is longer than the preset duration, the folding angle of the folded screen and the application corresponding to each screen are obtained, and the target information is generated accordingly.

It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, the target information may be custom created by the user and pre-stored by the user to the electronic device.

Optionally, the adjusting the folding angle of the foldable electronic device to the target folding angle includes:

In this embodiment, whether the electronic device is in the preset space posture is determined according to the target information, where the preset space posture is a space posture in which the folding angle of the folding screen can be adjusted to reach the target folding angle. Please refer to the following embodiments for a specific technical solution for determining whether the electronic device is in the preset spatial attitude.

Under the condition that electronic equipment is in the space gesture of predetermineeing, it is in reasonable space gesture to show folding screen, folds folding screen under above-mentioned space gesture, can avoid electronic equipment to damage at folding in-process, for example, can avoid electronic equipment to drop at the in-process of adjustment folding angle.

In this embodiment, the folding screen is folded only when the electronic device is in the preset spatial posture, so that the electronic device is prevented from being damaged in the process of adjusting the folding angle.

Optionally, the determining, according to the target information, whether the foldable electronic device is in a preset spatial posture includes:

In this embodiment, the target information further includes target spatial posture information, and the target information may be analyzed to obtain a target spatial posture of the electronic device, where the target spatial posture is a spatial posture of the electronic device when the folding angle of the foldable electronic device is the target folding angle.

It should be understood that the target spatial positions of the foldable screen generally include a first spatial position and a second spatial position, for example, referring to fig. 2, the foldable screen of the electronic device in the first spatial position in fig. 2 is in a vertical screen position; the folding screen of the electronic device in the second spatial posture is in a landscape screen posture.

It is also understood that in the case where the target spatial attitude of the electronic device is the second spatial attitude, the at least one screen of the electronic device is parallel to the horizontal plane; in the case that the target space of the electronic device is in the first spatial attitude, all screens of the electronic device are perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

In this embodiment, the spatial attitude of the electronic device may be acquired by a gyroscope or other elements built in the electronic device. The starting spatial attitude is a spatial attitude of the electronic device before the folding angle is adjusted, and it should be understood that the starting spatial attitude also includes a first spatial attitude and a second spatial attitude, which are the same as the target spatial attitude.
