DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0031] The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be
clearly and completely described in the following with reference to
the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the embodiments to be
described are only a part rather than all of the embodiments of the
present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by persons
skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present
disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the
protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0032] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a
split-screen display method according to an embodiment of the
present disclosure. The split-screen display method is applicable
to a display apparatus including a curved display screen. The
curved display screen can be bent into a plurality of curved
display screens by an external force. As shown in FIG. 1, the
split-screen display method includes steps S101 to S104.
[0033] At S101, position information of a moving path of the curved
display screen is recorded when it is detected that an user bends
and splits the curved display screen according to a preset fold
line, and the preset fold line is a dividing line between the
adjacent curved display screens formed by the bending and
splitting.
[0034] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, when
a plurality of users are viewing picture content on the curved
display screen, if the users want to view different picture content
simultaneously on the curved display screen, the curved display
screen can be bent into at least two curved display screen
according to the preset fold line by the external force, and the
preset fold line is the dividing line between the adjacent curved
display screens formed by the bending and splitting. Specifically,
referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a
user viewing a curved display screen according to an embodiment of
the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is a schematic view of an effect
of users viewing a curved display screen with a split-screen
display method according to an embodiment of the present
disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the curved surface display screen
10 is provided with a preset fold line 101, and the preset fold
line 101 may be plural. When a plurality of users (such as a user
21 and a user 22) are viewing programs using the curved display
screen 10, if the user 21 and user 22 want to view different
programs simultaneously using the curved display screen 10, the
curved display screen 10 can be bent and split according to the
preset fold line 101, i.e., the preset fold line 101 can split the
curved display screen 10 into two curved display screens. As shown
in FIG. 3, the curved display screen 10 is bent into a first curved
display screen 11 and a second curved display screen 12 according
to the preset fold line 101. When the preset fold line is plural,
the curved display screen can be split into a plurality of curved
display screens. For example, for a second preset fold line 102 and
a third preset fold line 103 in FIG. 4, the curved display screen
10 can be split into the first curved display screen 11, the second
curved display screen 12, and a third curved display screen 13
according to the second preset fold line 102 and the third preset
fold line 103.
[0035] When it is detected that an user bends and splits the curved
display screen according to the preset fold line, specifically a
sensor can be used to perform the detection. For example, a
pressure sensor may be set at the preset fold line, and when the
pressure value detected by the pressure sensor reaches a certain
preset pressure threshold range, it is determined that the user is
bending and splitting the curved display screen according to the
preset fold line. At this time, position information of a moving
path of the curved display screen is recorded. Specifically, the
preset fold line includes but not is not limited to a vertical fold
line. If the fold line is the vertical fold line, then
corresponding column pixel units of the vertical fold line on the
curved display screen is obtained, and the column pixel unit can be
used as the position information of the vertical fold line on the
curved display screen. Further, the position information of the
preset fold line on the curved display screen can also be
determined by other manners.
[0036] At S102, a display interface of the curved display screen is
divided into a plurality of sub-interfaces according to the
position information, and a splitting line between two adjacent
sub-interfaces coincides with the preset fold line.
[0037] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, when
the display interface of the curved display screen is divided into
a plurality of sub-interfaces according to the position
information. Specifically, the display interface of the curved
display screen 10 may be divided into a sub-interface of the first
curved display screen 11 and a sub-interface of the second curved
display screen 12, the two sub-interfaces are independent, and they
can be shrunken versions of the display interface of the original
curved display screen 10, or be new display interfaces. The most
important is that the splitting line between the two sub-interfaces
coincides with the preset fold line, and the position of the
splitting line is depended on the preset fold line on the curved
display screen. Thus, according to the physical splitting of the
curved display screen (the hardware is bent into a plurality of
display screens), the splitting display of the display interface is
correspondingly realized on the software.
[0038] At S103, display content selected by the user in the
sub-interfaces is obtained.
[0039] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, the
display content selected by the user in the sub-interfaces is
obtained. Specifically, if the user 21 and user 22 want to view
different picture content simultaneously, after the aforementioned
steps, the users can select different content of video or text in
the sub-interface of the first curved display screen 11 and the
sub-interface of the second curved display screen 12. For example,
the user 21 selects a video A in the sub-interface of the first
curved display screen 11 and the user 22 selects a video B in the
sub-interface of the second curved display screen 12, then the
display content selected by the users is obtained, i.e., the video
A and the video B.
[0040] At S104, the display content selected in the sub-interfaces
is displayed via the sub-interfaces.
[0041] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, for
example, the user 21 selects the video A in the sub-interface of
the first curved display screen 11, then the video A is displayed
via the sub-interface of the first curved display screen 11. The
user 22 selects the video B in the sub-interface of the second
curved display screen 12, then the video B is displayed via the
sub-interface of the second curved display screen 12. In this way,
different users can view different display contents through
different screens corresponding to the curved display screen and
the display interface. When the display screen corresponding to the
preset fold line is bent, it protrudes from the curved display
screen, thus the preset fold line can also cover the display
content of the sub-interfaces on both sides of the splitting line,
such that the users can truly enjoy the effect of two display
screens. Unlike the conventional splitting screen technology, it is
realized that different users can view different content by using a
same display screen, with no interference.
[0042] Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a
split-screen display method according to an embodiment of the
present disclosure. The split-screen display method is applicable
to a display apparatus including a curved display screen. The
curved display screen can be bent into a plurality of curved
display screens by an external force. The curved display screen is
provided with a plurality of audio channels, or the host
corresponding to the curved display screen is provided with a
plurality of audio channels. As shown in FIG. 5, the split-screen
display method includes steps S201 to S206.
[0043] At S201, it is determined whether a split-screen function of
the curved display screen is selected when it is detected that a
user bends and splits the curved display screen according to a
preset fold line.
[0044] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, the
split-screen function can corresponds to a mode of split screen
button. The split screen button is arranged on the curved display
screen. After the user bents and splits the curved display screen
along the preset fold line, the user is prompted to select the
split-screen function. For example, the split-screen function of
the curved display screen can be selected by pressing the split
screen button. It is determined whether the split-screen function
of the curved display screen is selected, if the split-screen
function of the curved display screen is selected, then the step
S202 is performed. If the split-screen function of the curved
display screen is not selected, then a prompt information for
prompting the user to select the split-screen function of the
curved display screen is output.
[0045] At S202, if the split-screen function of the curved display
screen is selected, position information of the preset fold on the
curved display screen is obtained. The preset fold line is a
dividing line between adjacent curved display screens formed by the
bending and splitting.
[0046] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, the
position information of the preset fold line on the curved surface
display screen is obtained. Specifically, the preset fold line
includes but not is not limited to a vertical fold line. If the
fold line is the vertical fold line, then corresponding column
pixel units of the vertical fold line on the curved display screen
is obtained, and the column pixel units can be used as the position
information of the vertical fold line on the curved display screen.
Further, the position information of the preset fold line on the
curved display screen can also be determined by other manners.
[0047] At S203, a display interface of the curved display screen is
divided into a plurality of sub-interfaces according to the
position information. A splitting line between two adjacent
sub-interfaces coincides with the preset fold line.
[0048] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, when
the display interface of the curved display screen is divided into
a plurality of sub-interfaces according to the position
information. Referring to FIG. 2, specifically, the display
interface of the curved display screen 10 is divided into a
sub-interface of the first curved display screen 11 and a
sub-interface of the second curved display screen 12, and the two
sub-interfaces can be shrunken versions of the display interface of
the original curved display screen 10, or be new display
interfaces. The most important is that the splitting line between
the two sub-interfaces coincides with the preset fold line, and the
position of the splitting line is depended on the preset fold line
on the curved display screen. Thus, according to the physical
splitting of the curved display screen (the hardware is bent into a
plurality of display screens), the splitting display of the display
interface is correspondingly realized on the software.
[0049] At S204, display content selected by the user in the
sub-interfaces is obtained.
[0050] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, the
display content selected by the user in the sub-interfaces is
obtained. Specifically, if the user 21 and user 22 want to view
different picture content simultaneously, after the aforementioned
steps, the users can select different content of video or text in
the sub-interface of the first curved display screen 11 and the
sub-interface of the second curved display screen 12. For example,
the user 21 selects a video A in the sub-interface of the first
curved display screen 11 and the user 22 selects a video B in the
sub-interface of the second curved display screen 12, then the
display content (i.e., the video A and the video B) selected by the
users is obtained.
[0051] At S205, it is determined whether audio information exists
in the display content.
[0052] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure,
whether the audio information exists in the display content is
determined. For example, the display content is video A and video
B, then the video A and video B may have audio information. To
determine whether the audio information exists, an existing method
of audio information detection is employed, and it will not be
described in detail herein. If the display content has audio
information, then the step S206 is performed. If the display
content has no audio information, then the step S208 is
performed.
[0053] At S206, if the audio information exists in the display
content, an audio channel is selected from a plurality of audio
channels used by the curved display screen.
[0054] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, the
curved display screen uses a plurality of audio channels, and the
audio channels are independent audio channels, which can transmit
different audio information separately and simultaneously. The
different audio channels correspond to different audio devices,
such as earphone interfaces and speakers. The earphone interfaces
and the speakers may correspond to multiple audio channels, and a
plurality of earphone interfaces and speakers are respectively
connected to different audio channels.
[0055] At S207, the audio information is output through the
selected audio channel.
[0056] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, the
selected audio channel is a audio channel selected for a different
split screen. The audio information of the selected display content
in the split screen is output through the audio channel
corresponding to the split screen, therefore different display
content can be viewed through different sub-interfaces of the
curved display screen, and the users can only listen to the audio
information of the respective display content, thereby preventing
mutual interference, and improving the visual and aural experience
during viewing.
[0057] At S208, the display content selected in the sub-interfaces
is displayed via the sub-interfaces.
[0058] In the embodiments according to the present disclosure, for
example, the user 21 selects the video A in the sub-interface of
the first curved display screen 11, then the video A is displayed
via the sub-interface of the first curved display screen 11. The
user 22 selects the video B in the sub-interface of the second
curved display screen 12, then the video B is displayed via the
sub-interface of the second curved display screen 12.
[0059] In the aforementioned embodiments according to present
disclosure, the curved display screen is physically bent by the
user along the preset fold line, and by a software the curved
display screen is divided into a plurality of sub-interfaces
according to a display interface splitting manner corresponding to
the physical bending manner, such that different sub-interfaces
display different content, thereby enabling multiple users to view
different screen content simultaneously.
[0060] A specific application scenario of the aforementioned
embodiments is shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic view of an
effect of users viewing a curved display screen with a split-screen
display method according to an embodiment of the present
disclosure. The curved display screen 10 can bent and split into
two curved display screens, i.e., the first curved display screen
11 and the second curved display screen 12. When a plurality of
users want to view programs using the curved display screen 10, the
curved display screen 10 can be bent into a first curved display
screen 11 and a second curved display screen 12 according to the
preset fold line by the external force. When a control unit of the
display screen or a host coupled to the display screen detects that
the curved display screen 10 is split into the first curved display
screen 11 and the second curved display screen 12, the position
information of the preset fold line on the curved display screen 10
is obtained, and the display interface of the curved display screen
10 is divided into a first sub-interface 110 and a second
sub-interface 120. Then the display content that the users selected
to view is respectively selected in the first sub-interface 110 and
the second sub-interface 120, and the display content is shown to
different users through the first sub-interface 110 and the second
sub-interface, respectively, for example, the user 21 and the user
22 can enjoy different display content. Since the physical
splitting screen and the software splitting screen are combined,
the users can view different display content according to the
split-screen display method with the effect of viewing two
independent display screens, thereby improving the viewing
experience of the users.
[0061] Referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic block view of a
display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present
disclosure. The display apparatus includes a curved display screen
which can be bent into a plurality of curved display screens by an
external force. As shown in FIG. 7, the display apparatus 300
includes: a first determining module 301, a first obtaining module
302, a dividing module 303, a second obtaining module 304, a second
determining module 305, a selecting module 306, an outputting
module 307 and a displaying module 308.
[0062] The first determining module 301 is configured to determine
whether a split-screen function of the curved display screen is
selected when it is detected that the user is bending and splitting
the curved display screen. The split-screen function can
corresponds to a mode of split screen button. The split screen
button is arranged on the curved display screen. After the user
bents and splits the curved display screen along the preset fold
line, the user is prompted to select the split-screen function. For
example, the split-screen function of the curved display screen can
be selected by pressing the split screen button.
[0063] The first obtaining module 302 is configured to record
position information of a moving path of the curved display screen
in response to detecting that an user bends and splits the curved
display screen according to a preset fold line. The preset fold
line is a dividing line between the adjacent curved display screens
formed by the bending and splitting. The first obtaining module is
specifically used to obtain corresponding column pixel units of the
preset fold line on the curved display screen. Specifically, during
obtaining the position information of the preset fold line on the
curved surface display screen, the preset fold line includes but
not is not limited to a vertical fold line, and if the fold line is
the vertical fold line, then corresponding column pixel units of
the vertical fold line on the curved display screen is obtained.
The column pixel units can be used as the position information of
the vertical fold line on the curved display screen. Further, the
position information of the preset fold line on the curved display
screen can also be determined by other manners.
[0064] The dividing module 303 is configured to divide a display
interface of the curved display screen into a plurality of
sub-interfaces according to the position information. A splitting
line between the two adjacent sub-interfaces coincides with the
preset fold line. Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the display
interface of the curved display screen 10 is divided into the
sub-interface of the first curved display screen 11 and the
sub-interface of the second curved display screen 12.
[0065] The second obtaining module 304 is configured to obtain
display content selected by the user in the sub-interfaces.
Specifically, if the user 21 selects a video A in the sub-interface
of the first curved display screen 11 and the user 22 selects a
video B in the sub-interface of the second curved display screen
12, then the display content selected by the users is obtained,
i.e., the video A and the video B.
[0066] The second determining module 305 is configured to determine
whether audio information exists in the display content. The
existing method of audio information detection is employed. If the
audio information exists in the display content, then selecting
module 306 is called. If no audio information exists in the display
content, then displaying module 308 is called.
[0067] The selecting module 306 is configured to select an audio
channel from a plurality of audio channels used by the curved
display screen in response to determining that the audio
information exists in the display content. The curved display
screen uses a plurality of audio channels, and the audio channels
are independent audio channels, which can transmit different audio
information separately and simultaneously, and the different audio
channels correspond to different audio devices, such as earphone
interfaces and speakers.
[0068] The outputting module 307 is configured to output the audio
information through the selected audio channel. Specifically, the
selected audio channel is a audio channel selected for a different
split screen. The audio information of the selected display content
in the split screen is output through the audio channel
corresponding to the split screen, therefore different display
content can be viewed through different sub-interfaces of the
curved display screen, and the users can only listen to the audio
information of the respective display content, thereby preventing
mutual interference, and improving the visual and aural experience
during viewing.
[0069] The displaying module 308 is configured to display the
display content selected in the sub-interfaces via the
sub-interfaces. For example, the user 21 selects the video A in the
sub-interface of the first curved display screen 11, then the video
A is displayed via the sub-interface of the first curved display
screen 11. The user 22 selects the video B in the sub-interface of
the second curved display screen 12, then the video B is displayed
via the sub-interface of the second curved display screen 12.
[0070] In the display apparatus of the aforementioned embodiments
according to present disclosure, the curved display screen is
physically bent by the user along the preset fold line, and by a
software the curved display screen is divided into a plurality of
sub-interfaces according to a display interface splitting manner
corresponding to the physical bending manner, such that different
sub-interfaces play different content, thereby enabling multiple
users to simultaneously view different screen content.
