The above-mentioned software system of the electronic device 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. The embodiment of the present application takes an android system with a layered architecture as an example to illustrate the software structure of the electronic device 100 by way of example.

Exemplarily, FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the software structure of the electronic device 100.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, and each layer has a clear role and division of labor. Communication between layers through software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, the application layer, the application framework layer, the android runtime and system library, and the kernel layer.

1. Application layer

The application layer can include a series of applications.

As shown in Figure 4, application programs may include applications (application, APP) such as camera, calendar, map, Bluetooth, music, short message service, gallery, phone, browser, video, memo, etc. These applications may be pre-installed when the electronic device 100 is shipped from the factory, or downloaded and installed from the application market when the user uses the electronic device 100. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

2. Application framework layer

The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and a programming framework for applications at the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

As shown in Figure 4, the application framework layer can include a window manager, a content provider, a phone manager, a resource manager, a view system, a power management service, a notification manager, and so on.

Among them, the window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the size of the display, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, take a screenshot, etc. The content provider is used to store and retrieve data, and make these data accessible to applications. The data may include videos, images, audios, phone calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone book, etc. The view system includes visual controls, such as controls that display text, controls that display pictures, and so on. The view system can be used to build applications. The display interface can be composed of one or more views. The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and so on.

The notification manager allows the application to display notification information in the status bar, which can be used to convey notification-type messages, and it can automatically disappear after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to notify download completion, message reminders, and so on.

In some embodiments, the notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the status bar at the top of the system in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as a notification of an application running in the background, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, text messages are prompted in the status bar, prompt sounds, electronic devices vibrate, and indicator lights flash.

In some embodiments, the notification manager can also be a notification that appears at the top of the display interface in the form of a notification bubble. The notification bubble is mainly used in social applications (applications, APPs) such as WeChat and Tencent QQ to notify users of new messages. , Such as chat messages. The notification bubble can display a message reminder icon, an application icon, or the avatar of the caller.

Referring to Figure 5 (a), taking the electronic device 100 running the browser APP as an example, when the electronic device 100 is running the browser APP, it can display the display interface 101 of the browser APP on the first display screen, and the display interface 101 Including the content of the web page the user is browsing. If the electronic device 100 receives a new message from the WeChat APP, the electronic device 100 calls the notification manager, and the notification manager displays a notification bubble on the top layer of the display interface 101 to notify the user that there is a message to be viewed, as shown in (b) in Figure 5 ) Shown. Since the notification bubble 102 is located on the top layer, and the notification bubble 102 can display the icon of the WeChat APP application, the notification bubble 102 can play the role of "reminding the user to view the WeChat message". If the user clicks on the notification bubble 102, the notification bubble 102 expands and displays a new WeChat message in the form of a floating window 103 for the user to browse, or perform operations such as message reply, as shown in FIG. 5(c). If the user has not clicked the notification bubble 102, and the electronic device 100 determines to receive a hiding instruction operation, the hiding instruction operation is used to instruct the first display screen to hide the notification bubble; or the electronic device does not receive an operation for processing the notification bubble , But the time length of the notification bubble displayed on the first display screen exceeds the preset time length, the electronic device 100 calls the notification manager to display the notification bubble 102 on the second display screen 194B, as shown in (d) of FIG. 5. Since the notification bubble 102 can be displayed on the second display screen 194B, the user can see the notification bubble after turning the electronic device 100 over, reminding the user that there are still messages to be viewed, thereby achieving a visual reminder effect and preventing the user from forgetting the messages to be viewed . If the user needs to browse new messages, the user can perform a corresponding operation on the first display screen 194A or the second display screen 194B, such as a sliding operation. Correspondingly, after the electronic device 100 receives the corresponding operation through the first display screen 194A, it calls the notification manager and displays the notification bubble 102 on the first display screen 194A, as shown in (b) in FIG. 5, for the user Take a look. Alternatively, the user can perform a corresponding operation on the second display screen 194B, such as a click operation. Correspondingly, after the electronic device 100 receives the corresponding operation through the second display screen 194B, it displays the message to be viewed indicated by the notification bubble 102 on the first display screen 194A, as shown in FIG. 5(c), for the user Take a look.

3. Android runtime and system libraries

The Android runtime includes core libraries and virtual machines. The Android runtime is responsible for the scheduling and management of the Android system.

The core library consists of two parts: one part is the function functions that the java language needs to call, and the other part is the core library of Android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

The system library can include multiple functional modules. For example: surface manager (surface manager), media library (media libraries), 3D graphics processing library (for example: OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (for example: SGL), etc.

The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides a combination of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The media library supports playback and recording of a variety of commonly used audio and video formats, as well as still image files. The media library can support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc. The 3D graphics processing library is used to realize 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, synthesis, and layer processing. The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

4. The kernel layer

The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer at least includes a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver, a sensor driver, etc., which are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For ease of understanding, a message notification method provided by an embodiment of the present application will be specifically introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following embodiments, a mobile phone is used as an example of the electronic device 100 for illustration.

FIG. 6 is a schematic flowchart of a message notification method provided by an embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 6, the message notification method may include:

S600. The electronic device receives a new message.

Among them, the number of new messages may be one or multiple. New messages can belong to the same application or different applications. For example, a new message can be one or more new messages of a certain application, and a new message can also be one or more new messages of each application in multiple applications.

In some embodiments, after receiving a new message, the electronic device recognizes the application to which the new message belongs, and displays notifications in the form of notification bubbles for social applications by default, and displays notifications in the notification bar for other applications.

In some embodiments, the user can set the notification method of the application. For example, the user sets the notification mode of phone, short message service, and WeChat APP as the top floating notification bubble. Among them, the notification bubble can display a message prompt icon to remind the user that there is a message to be viewed in the application. The notification bubble can also display an application icon (icon), and the shape of the icon can be set according to the actual needs of the user, such as setting the shape of the icon to a bubble shape. The notification bubble displaying the icon of the application is used to prompt the user that the application identified by the icon has a new message.

S601. The electronic device displays a notification bubble on the first display screen.

Among them, the notification bubble is suspended above the display interface. The notification bubble may be located close to the edge of the first display screen, or may be located in the center or middle area of the first display screen. In this way, even if the user holds the handshake with one hand, he can operate the notification bubble in the first display screen with his thumb, such as tapping the notification bubble in the first display screen, or sliding the notification bubble in the first display screen.

Exemplarily, the notification bubble may display a message prompt icon, which is still displayed on the first display screen in a bubble shape, as shown in (a) of FIG. 7. The notification bubble may also display the icon of the application to which the new message belongs, and is displayed in the shape of a bubble on the first display screen, as shown in (b) of FIG. 7. In addition, for social applications (such as WeChat), the picture displayed in the notification bubble can be the avatar of the message sender.

At the same time, the time length of the notification bubble staying on the first display screen does not exceed the preset time length, and the starting time of the preset time length is the time when the electronic device receives a new message. Here, the new message is the message to be viewed that the notification bubble prompts the user.

In some embodiments, the user may uniformly set the length of time that the notification bubble stays on the first display screen (ie, the preset length of time), such as 5 seconds.

In some embodiments, if different applications correspond to different notification bubbles, the length of time the notification bubbles stay on the first display screen (ie, the preset length of time) can be set according to the priority of the application. For example, the higher the priority of the application, the larger the value of the preset time length corresponding to the notification bubble, so that the notification bubble corresponding to the application stays on the first display screen for a longer time, thereby achieving a better prompt effect .

Among them, the notification bubble can prompt the user that multiple applications are waiting to view messages, or the user can be prompted that a certain application is waiting to view messages. The notification bubbles are specifically explained in different scenarios below:

In the first possible design, the electronic device receives a new message from one application or receives new messages from multiple applications within a certain period of time. As shown in (a) of Figure 7, the electronic device displays a notification bubble on the first display screen. The icon displayed in the notification bubble is a message prompt icon to remind the user that there is a message to be viewed in the application.

Here, the start time of the notification bubble displayed on the first display screen is the time of the latest message received by the electronic device, and the length of time the notification bubble stays on the first display screen (ie, the preset length of time) can be the time uniformly set by the user The length can also be the length of time set according to the priority of the application to which the latest received message belongs.

In this way, no matter the electronic device receives a new message from one application or new messages from multiple applications, the first display screen can display a notification bubble, which can not only remind the user that there is a new message in the application, but also reduce the notification bubble. The occlusion area of the screen prevents the notification bubble from blocking the display interface too much, which helps to enhance the user’s immersive experience.

In the second possible design, the notification bubble can indicate which applications have pending messages, as follows:

In some embodiments, the electronic device receives one or more new messages of the same application within a certain period of time. As shown in FIG. 7(b), the electronic device displays the icon of the application to which the new message belongs in the form of a notification bubble on the first display screen.

If the electronic device only receives a new message, the message can be recorded as message A. The starting moment when the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the first display screen (ie, the starting moment of the preset time length) is the moment when the electronic device receives message A, and the notification bubble stays on the first display screen for the preset time The length can be set according to the priority of the application to which message A belongs.

For the electronic device receiving multiple new messages of the same application, three new messages are taken as an example, and the three new messages are respectively recorded as message B1, message B2, and message B3. At this time, if the electronic device receives message B1, message B2, and message B3 at the same time, the first display screen displays the starting time of the notification bubble (that is, the starting time of the preset time length) for the electronic device to receive the new message. (Ie message B1, message B2, and message B3) time.

If the electronic device receives message B1, message B2, and message B3 at different times, the first display screen displays the start time of the notification bubble (that is, the start time of the preset time length) for the electronic device to receive the new message (that is, message The earliest moment in B1, message B2, and message B3). During the process of displaying the notification bubble on the first display screen (that is, within the preset length of time), if the electronic device receives one of the above-mentioned new messages (that is, message B1, message B2, and message B3), it will The receiving time of the message is regarded as the new starting time of the preset time length.

In some embodiments, the electronic device receives new messages from multiple applications within a certain period of time. Taking two new messages as an example, the two new messages are respectively marked as message C1 (or as the first message) and message D1 (or as the second message). Exemplarily, the message C1 may be a message of a short messaging service (short messaging service, SMS) APP, and the message D1 may be a message of a WeChat APP.

As shown in (c) and (d) in FIG. 7, the electronic device displays the notification bubble of the application to which the message C1 belongs and the notification bubble of the application to which the message C2 belongs in the form of notification bubbles on the first display screen.

For message C1, the start time when the electronic device displays the icon of the application to which message C1 belongs in the form of a notification bubble (that is, the start time of the preset time length of the notification bubble corresponding to message C1) is the moment when the electronic device receives message C1 , The time length value for the electronic device to display the icon of the application to which the message C1 belongs in the form of a notification bubble (that is, the preset time length of the notification bubble corresponding to the message C1) is a value set according to the priority of the application to which the message C1 belongs.

For message D1, the start time when the electronic device displays the icon of the application to which message D1 belongs in the form of a notification bubble (that is, the start time of the preset time length of the notification bubble corresponding to message D1) is the moment when the electronic device receives message D1 , The time length value for the electronic device to display the icon of the application to which the message D1 belongs in the form of a notification bubble (that is, the preset time length of the notification bubble corresponding to the message D1) is a value set according to the priority of the application to which the message D1 belongs.

There are many ways for the electronic device to display notification bubbles on the first display screen, including but not limited to the following ways:

Method 1: Display the notification bubble in an expanded state

Referring to (c) in FIG. 7, the electronic device floats notification bubbles of different applications on the top layer of the first display screen. In addition, the notification bubbles of different applications do not block each other. For example, the notification bubble of the application to which the message C1 belongs and the notification bubble of the application to which the message D1 belongs do not block each other. In this way, the first display screen displays notification bubbles of different applications in an expanded state to prompt the user that the application identified by the notification bubble has a new message, thereby achieving a better prompt effect.

Method 2: Display the notification bubble in a collapsed state

Referring to (d) in FIG. 7, the electronic device floats notification bubbles of two applications on the top layer of the first display screen. Also, the notification bubbles of the two apps collapsed. For example, the notification bubble of the application to which the message C1 belongs occludes a part of the notification bubble of the application to which the message D1 belongs.

When the first display screen displays the notification bubbles in the folded state, the electronic device may determine the notification bubbles to be displayed and the blocked notification bubbles from the notification bubbles of multiple applications according to different judgment basis.

Exemplarily, the electronic device uses the time when the new message is received as the judgment basis, that is, the time when the electronic device receives the message C1 is later than the time when the electronic device receives the message D1. In this way, the electronic device suspends the notification bubble of the application to which the newly received message (such as message C1) belongs to the top layer without being obscured by other notification bubbles, so as to prompt the user in real time that there is a new message to be viewed.

Exemplarily, the electronic device uses the priority of the application to which the new message belongs as a judgment basis, that is, the priority of the application to which the message C1 belongs is higher than the priority of the application to which the message D1 belongs. In this way, the electronic device suspends the notification bubbles of the high-priority applications on the top layer without being obscured by other notification bubbles, so as to prevent the user from forgetting to view the messages of the high-priority applications, and meet the actual application requirements of the users.

In this way, the first display screen displays the notification bubbles of different applications in a folded state, which not only can prompt the user that the application identified by the notification bubble has new messages, but also can reduce the shielding area of the notification bubble, and prevent the notification bubble from covering too many original electronic devices. The displayed display interface helps to enhance the user's immersive experience.

Optionally, when the icon of the application is displayed in the notification bubble, the number of new messages can be marked on the icon of the application to intuitively remind the user of the number of messages to be viewed. For example, in a certain period of time, when the electronic device receives only one message of the short message service APP, the number "1" can be marked on the icon of the application, as shown in (a) in Figure 8, when the electronic device When a message of the short message service APP is received, the number identified on the icon of the application is updated to "2", as shown in Figure 8 (b), when the electronic device receives another message from the short message service APP At this time, the number "3" can be identified on the icon of the application, as shown in (c) in Figure 8. For another example, at a certain moment, when the electronic device receives three messages of the short message service APP, the number identified on the icon of the application is updated to "3", as shown in (c) in FIG. 8.

S602. The electronic device determines whether the preset condition is met, if so, execute S603, and if not, continue to execute S601.

Among them, the preset conditions include at least one of the following options:

First, the electronic device receives the hiding instruction operation.

Wherein, the hiding instruction operation is used to instruct the first display screen to hide the notification bubble.

Exemplarily, the hiding instruction operation may be a click operation in which the first display screen is on the preset interface and the operation area is the preset area. Wherein, the preset interface may be a display interface of the desktop, and the preset area may be an area where there are no icons in the display interface of the desktop.

Exemplarily, the hiding instruction operation may be a sliding operation received through the second display screen when there is no notification bubble on the second display screen, and the direction of the sliding operation may be a direction along the width of the electronic device.

Exemplarily, if the key area that the user pays attention to in the display interface is the area covered by the notification bubble, the user needs to hide the notification bubble as soon as possible without blocking the original display interface of the first display screen, then the user can input to the electronic device to hide Instructions for operation. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives the hiding instruction operation. In response to the hiding instruction operation, the electronic device hides the notification bubble on the first display screen and displays the notification bubble on the second display screen. In this way, even if the length of time that the notification bubble is displayed on the first display screen does not exceed the preset length of time, the user can directly hide the notification bubble on the first display screen without waiting for the notification bubble to automatically retire, so as to meet the actual needs of the user. Application requirements help enhance the user’s immersive experience.

Second, the electronic device does not receive the operation for processing the notification bubble, and the length of time that the notification bubble is displayed on the first display screen exceeds the preset length of time.

Among them, the operations used to process notification bubbles may include but are not limited to the following operations:

Operation one, click operation, when the user needs to browse a new message prompted by a certain notification bubble, click the notification bubble. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives the click operation acting on the notification bubble, and displays the new message in the form of a floating window.

Operation two, long press operation, when the user needs to delete a notification bubble, long press the notification bubble. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives the long-press operation acting on the notification bubble, and in response to the long-press operation, the electronic device displays the management button on the first display screen. When the management button is clicked, the management menu is displayed. The management menu can include a delete option. When the delete option is clicked, the notification bubble is deleted from the second indication box.

Operation three, display the instruction operation, hide the notification bubble on the first display screen, and in response to calling out the instruction operation, after the first display screen displays the notification bubble again, the first display screen only displays multiple notifications in the second instruction frame Part of the number of notification bubbles in the bubble, other notification bubbles are hidden. However, the user needs to browse new messages of the application identified by the hidden notification bubble, and the user inputs a display instruction operation to the electronic device, such as a sliding operation in the second instruction frame of the first display screen. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives the display instruction operation through the first display screen, and in response to the display instruction operation, the first display screen may display the aforementioned multiple notification bubbles in a scrolling and alternate display manner. For details, please refer to the relevant descriptions of S607 and S608. Regarding the related description of the call out instruction operation, please refer to the description of S605 and S606 for details, which will not be repeated here.

Operation four. Hidden instruction operation, please refer to the above description of hidden instruction operation, which will not be repeated here.

The time for displaying the notification bubble on the first display screen exceeds the preset length of time, and the user does not input an operation for processing the notification bubble to the electronic device within the preset length of time. Correspondingly, if the electronic device does not receive the operation for processing the notification bubble within the preset time period, the electronic device can determine that the user is immersed in a certain application scenario, such as the user focusing on the content in the display interface of the browser APP , Or the user concentrates on the game scene of the game APP. In order to prevent the notification bubble from blocking the original display interface of the first display screen and affecting the user's immersive experience, the electronic device executes the following S603:

S603. The electronic device displays the notification bubble on the second display screen.

Among them, the notification bubble is suspended on the top layer, that is, on the current display interface of the second display screen.

In some embodiments, the number of notification bubbles may be one, and the notification bubbles may display a message prompt icon, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9. The notification bubble can prompt the user that there are messages to be viewed in the application. Even if the size of the second display screen is small, the notification bubble can be displayed. Optionally, the number of messages to be viewed can be marked on the message prompt icon to facilitate the user to view.

In some embodiments, the number of notification bubbles may be one, and the notification bubbles may also display application icons, as shown in (b) of FIG. 9. The notification bubble can prompt the user which application has a message to be viewed, so as to prevent the user from forgetting or missing the message of an important application. Optionally, the number of messages to be viewed can be marked on the icon of the application to facilitate the user to view.

In some embodiments, the number of notification bubbles may also be multiple, and different notification bubbles may display icons of different applications. The number of notification bubbles is consistent with the number of applications to which the new message received by the electronic device belongs. For example, the two applications are short messaging service (SMS) and WeChat respectively, and the second display screen displays the notification bubble of the application to which the message C1 belongs and the notification bubble of the application to which the message C2 belongs. There are many ways for the electronic device to display notification bubbles on the second display screen, including but not limited to the following ways:

Method 1: Display the notification bubble in an expanded state

Referring to (c) in FIG. 9, the electronic device floats notification bubbles of different applications on the top layer of the second display screen. In addition, the notification bubbles of different applications do not block each other. For example, the notification bubble of the application to which the message C1 belongs and the notification bubble of the application to which the message D1 belongs do not block each other. In this way, the second display screen displays notification bubbles of different applications in an expanded state to prompt the user that the application identified by the notification bubble has a new message, so as to achieve a better prompt effect.

Method 2: Display the notification bubble in a collapsed state

Referring to (d) in FIG. 9, the electronic device floats notification bubbles of two applications on the top layer of the second display screen. Also, the notification bubbles of the two apps collapsed. For example, the notification bubble of the application to which the message C1 belongs occludes a part of the notification bubble that displays the notification bubble of the application to which the message D1 belongs.

When the second display screen displays the notification bubbles in the folded state, the electronic device may determine the notification bubbles to be displayed and the blocked notification bubbles from the notification bubbles of multiple applications according to different judgment basis. For example, the electronic device uses the time of receiving the new message as the judgment basis, or the priority of the application to which the new message belongs as the judgment basis. For details, please refer to the relevant description in S601. The judgment basis for the electronic device to determine the notification bubble to be displayed in the second display screen may be the same as the judgment basis for the electronic device to determine the notification bubble to be displayed in the first display screen, or it may be the same as that for the electronic device to determine the notification bubble to be displayed in the first display screen. The basis for judgment is different.

In this way, the second display screen displays notification bubbles of different applications in a folded state to prompt the user that the application identified by the notification bubble has a new message. Even if the size of the second display screen is small, since the notification bubbles are displayed in a folded state, a good prompt effect can be achieved.

It can be seen that the message notification method provided by the present application can display a notification bubble on the first display screen to remind the user that there is a new message. Even if the user holds the electronic device in one hand, the thumb can be used to process the notification bubble in the first display screen, such as clicking the notification bubble in the first display screen, or sliding the notification bubble in the first display screen. When the electronic device determines that the preset condition is met, for example, the electronic device receives a hiding instruction operation to instruct the first display screen to hide the notification bubble. For another example, the electronic device does not receive an operation for processing the notification bubble, and the notification bubble is displayed on the first display screen. When the time length of a display screen exceeds the preset time length, the electronic device displays a notification bubble on the second display screen. Since the notification bubble of the first display screen can be automatically hidden, or, in response to the hiding instruction information received by the electronic device, the first display screen hides the notification bubble, reducing the time for the notification bubble to block the original display interface of the electronic device, thereby enhancing An immersive experience for users. Since the notification bubble can be displayed on the second display screen, the user can see the notification bubble on the second display screen by turning the mobile phone, thereby achieving a visual reminder effect and preventing the user from forgetting new messages.

Optionally, the electronic device determines the display mode of the notification bubble according to the current running status of the application and/or the user's operating habits. For example, the running status of the application may refer to whether the electronic device is running a specified type of application, and the specified type of application may be an application set by the user according to his own needs, such as but not limited to a game application. If the electronic device runs the designated application, the electronic device determines to directly display the notification bubble on the second display screen, that is, after the electronic device executes S600, it directly executes S603; otherwise, the electronic device executes S600 and then executes S601.

For another example, the user's operating habits may refer to the user's operating habits received by the electronic device when the electronic device runs different applications. Taking a reading application as an example, the user's operating habit may be: the type or time interval of the user's input to the electronic device. In this way, the electronic device determines whether the user is in an immersive mode based on the type or time interval of the received operation, that is, whether the user is reading carefully. For example, if the electronic device runs a reading application, the electronic device determines whether the current user's operating conditions are consistent with the user's pre-learned operating habits. If so, the electronic device directly displays a notification bubble on the second display screen, that is, the electronic device executes After S600, S603 is directly executed. If not, after S600 is executed, the electronic device executes S601.

Optionally, if the electronic device executes S600 and then executes S601, and the second display screen is in the off-screen state, the second display screen may use a flashing mode to remind the user that there is a new message.

Optionally, referring to FIG. 10(a), after the electronic device executes S602 and determines that the preset condition is satisfied, the electronic device may directly execute S603, or it may execute S604 first before executing S603:

S604. The electronic device gradually withdraws the notification bubble from the edge of the first display screen.

Among them, the notification bubble can gradually withdraw from any edge of the first display screen. For example, the withdrawal is performed from the top, bottom, left, or right of the first display screen. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the withdrawal position of the notification bubble.

Exemplarily, taking the floating notification bubble at the top of the display interface of the browser APP as an example, the notification bubble gradually disappears from the edge of the first display screen, as shown in (a) of FIG. 11. After the notification bubble is completely retired, the first display screen displays the original display interface, and the second display screen displays the above notification bubble.

In this way, the electronic device shrinks the area where the notification bubble blocks the original display interface in a gradual retreat manner to prompt the user that the notification bubble is to be displayed on the second display screen, so as to improve the user experience.

Optionally, during the gradual withdrawal of the notification bubble, the electronic device displays the first indication frame 104 on the first display screen, as shown in (b) of FIG. 11. Wherein, the first indication frame 104 carries notification bubbles. The width of the first indicator frame 104 becomes narrower as the notification bubble gradually recedes, and the first indicator frame 104 is used to indicate that the notification bubble is to be displayed on the second display screen. In this way, the electronic device displays the first indication frame, which further enhances the visual prompt effect, showing the user the area where the notification bubble is to be displayed, that is, prompting the user "the notification bubble is to be displayed on the second display screen".

After the notification bubble is completely retreated from the edge of the first display screen, for the first display screen, the first display screen can normally display the original display interface. Alternatively, the first display screen displays the original display interface, and at the same time, the first display screen also displays a partial area of the first indicator frame. For example, the first display screen only retains a certain edge of the first indicator frame 104 and the area near it , As shown in Figure 11 (c). For the second display screen, the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the second display screen, that is, the electronic device executes S603.

Optionally, the first display screen hides the notification bubble, and after the second display screen displays the notification bubble, if the user needs to browse new messages, the user can perform a sliding operation on the first display screen or the second display screen. Correspondingly, the electronic device receives the sliding operation through the first display screen or the second display screen, so that the notification bubble is displayed on the first display screen again, that is, the electronic device executes S605 and S606:

S605: The electronic device receives the call-up instruction operation.

Among them, the calling out instruction operation may be a sliding operation. The direction of the sliding operation may be along the width direction of the electronic device.

As a possible implementation manner, the first display screen of the electronic device may still display the display interface of a certain application. For example, the first display screen still displays the display interface of the browser without exiting the application. Or, the first display screen is on the display interface of the desktop. At this time, referring to (a) in FIG. 12, the electronic device can receive the call-up instruction operation through the second display screen, that is, the electronic device receives the sliding operation through the second display screen.

In this way, when the user holds the electronic device in hand, touch the second display screen on the back with the index finger to realize the sliding operation, so that the notification bubble displayed on the second display screen is displayed on the first display screen, that is, "call out notifications" Bubble" and easy to operate.

As another possible implementation manner, the first display screen displays a partial area of the first indicator frame. At this time, referring to (b) in FIG. 12, the electronic device may receive the call-up instruction operation through the first display screen, that is, the electronic device may receive the sliding operation through the first display screen.

Wherein, the operation area for calling out the instruction operation received through the first display screen includes a partial area of the first instruction frame.

Exemplarily, the first display screen may display a partial area of the first indicator frame on the edge of the preset interface, and the preset interface may be, for example, but not limited to a desktop display interface.

In this way, the user can use the index finger to slide from the edge of the first display screen, so that the notification bubble displayed on the second display screen is displayed on the first display screen, that is, "calls up the notification bubble", and the operation is convenient.

S606. In response to the call-up instruction operation, the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the first display screen again.

In some embodiments, the first display screen displays the display interface of the browser APP, and the notification bubble floats on the display interface of the browser APP, as shown in (c) of FIG. 12.

In some embodiments, the first display screen is on the display interface of the desktop, and the notification bubble floats on the display interface of the desktop, as shown in (d) of FIG. 12.

In this way, it is convenient for the user to click the notification bubble displayed on the top layer of the first display screen to browse new messages.

Optionally, S606 may be specifically implemented as: in response to a call-up instruction operation, the electronic device displays a notification bubble in the second instruction frame 105 of the first display screen. Wherein, the second indication frame 105 is used to notify that the bubble is displayed on the second display screen before the electronic device responds to the call-up instruction operation.

Exemplarily, referring to (e) in FIG. 12, taking the first display screen on the display interface of the desktop as an example, the notification bubble 102 is suspended on the display interface of the desktop and is located in the second indication frame 105.

In this way, the visual effect can be enhanced through the second indicator frame, so as to indicate that the notification bubble in the second indicator frame is displayed on the second display screen before responding to the call-up operation.

In another possible design, the electronic device has messages to be viewed in two or more applications. Take the new message in two applications as an example. For example, the two applications are short messaging service (SMS) and WeChat respectively, where the message of the short message service APP is recorded as message C1, and the message of WeChat APP is recorded as message D1. At this time, the electronic device displays two notification bubbles on the first display screen, and the two notification bubbles respectively display the icon of the application to which the message C1 belongs and the icon of the application to which the message C2 belongs. Among them, the electronic device can display notification bubbles on the first display screen in multiple ways. For example, the notification bubble is displayed in the expanded state, specifically as the related description of mode 1 of S601, which will not be repeated here.

Optionally, the electronic device may also display two or more notification bubbles in an expanded state in the second indicator frame 105 of the first display screen. If the number of notification bubbles is too large and the second indicator box 105 cannot display each of the multiple notification bubbles at the same time, the electronic device can display the above multiple notification bubbles in the second indicator box 105 of the first display screen. Part of the number of notification bubbles in, and other notification bubbles in the above multiple notification bubbles are hidden. Wherein, the electronic device can determine the displayed notification bubble or the hidden notification bubble among the multiple notification bubbles according to different judgment basis. For example, the receiving time of the new message is used as the judgment basis, that is, among the multiple notification bubbles, the receiving time of the message identified by the displayed notification bubble is later than the receiving time of the message identified by the hidden notification bubble. For another example, the priority of the application to which the new message belongs is used as the judgment basis, that is, among multiple notification bubbles, the priority of the application with the notification bubble displayed is higher than the priority of the application with the hidden notification bubble.

Exemplarily, the multiple applications are telephone, short messaging service (SMS), and WeChat. At this time, the electronic device displays two notification bubbles in the second indicator frame of the first display screen. These two notifications The bubbles respectively display the icon of the phone APP and the icon of the short message service APP, and the notification bubble showing the icon of the WeChat APP is hidden, as shown in (a) in FIG. 13.

If the user needs to click the notification bubble to view the new message of the application identified by the notification bubble. However, the application identified by the notification bubble is not displayed in the second indication frame, and the user can perform a display indication operation on the electronic device. Correspondingly, the electronic device executes S607:
