Abstract
A method for displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) includes determining whether a display screen of the mobile terminal is shielded. When the display screen is shielded, a shielded area and a display area of the display screen are determined, where the display area is used to display a GUI. Parameter information of the display is determined. A GUI that matches the display area is obtained according to the parameter information, and the GUI is displayed in the display area.
Claims20
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a touchscreen;
- one or more sensors;
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the touchscreen, the one or more sensors, and the memory, wherein the instructions cause the processor to be configured to:
- display a first graphical user interface (GUI) of a first application on the touchscreen, wherein the first GUI comprises first content;
- determine whether the touchscreen is shielded based on the one or more sensors;
- determine a first area and a second area of the touchscreen when the touchscreen is shielded, wherein the first area does not display the first content, and wherein the second area displays the first content;
- and
- display a second GUI of a second application in the second area.
A method for displaying graphical user interfaces (GUIs), wherein the method comprises:
- displaying, by a display of a mobile terminal, a first GUI of a first application in the display, wherein the first GUI comprises first content;
- determining, by a processor of the mobile terminal, whether the display is shielded based on one or more sensors of the mobile terminal;
- determining, in response to the display being shielded, a first area and a second area of the display, wherein the first area does not display the first content, and wherein the second area displays the first content;
- and
- displaying, by the display of the mobile terminal, a second GUI of a second application in the second area.
A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that, when executed by a processor, cause a mobile terminal to:
- display a first graphical user interface (GUI) of a first application in a display of the mobile terminal, wherein the first GUI comprises first content;
- determine a first area and a second area of the display when the display is shielded based on one or more sensors of the mobile terminal, wherein the first area does not display the first content, and wherein the second area displays the first content;
- and
- display a second GUI in the second area.
