Electronic device and method for selectively illuminating regions of a display screen of the electronic device

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display screen;
• a processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage, coupled to the processor and storing at least one computer executable instruction thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to carry out actions, comprising:
• detecting a first event that will trigger partially turning on of the display screen while the display screen is in an off state;
• acquiring a predetermined user interface to be displayed according to the first event;
• determining whether the first event belongs to one of the following:
• (1) an active event resulting from a user operation on the electronic device, and (ii) a passive event that is independent of a user operation on the electronic device;
• turning on a first display area of the display screen to display the acquired predetermined user interface, based on a determination that the first event is the active event, wherein the first display area corresponds to a plurality of active events, and the predetermined user interfaces associated with the plurality of active events are all displayed on the first display area;
• and
• turning on a second display area of the display screen to display the acquired predetermined user interface, based on a determination that the first event is the passive event, wherein the second display area corresponds to a plurality of passive events, and the predetermined user interfaces associated with the plurality of passive events are all displayed on the second display area.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer programs which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to carry out actions:

• detecting a first event that will trigger partially turning on of a display screen of an electronic device while the display screen is in an off state;
• acquiring a predetermined user interface to be displayed according to the first event;
• determining whether the first event belongs to one of the following:
• (1) an active event resulting from a user operation on the electronic device, and (ii) a passive event that is independent of a user operation on the electronic device;
• turning on a first display area of the display screen to display the acquired predetermined user interface, based on a determination that the first event is the active event, wherein the first display area corresponds to a plurality of active events, and the predetermined user interfaces associated with the plurality of active events are all displayed on the first display area;
• and
• turning on a second display area of the display screen to display the acquired predetermined user interface, based on a determination that the first event is the passive event, wherein the second display area corresponds to a plurality of passive events, and the predetermined user interfaces associated with the plurality of passive events are all displayed on the second display area.
