• the first sensor is configured to:
• detect a movement track of the electronic device, and when it is detected that the movement track of the electronic device meets a first condition, trigger generation of a first interrupt signal, and send the first interrupt signal to the CPU;
• the CPU is configured to:
• when receiving the first interrupt signal sent by the first sensor, acquire current time of the electronic device, generate a clock display user interface UI by using the current time, and save the clock display UI in a buffer of the memory;
• and
• the CPU is further configured to display, on a screen of the display, the clock display UI in the buffer of the memory when the screen of the display is lit up.
