A computer implemented method for energy or resource management of a human-machine interface comprises the following steps carried out by computer hardware components of the human-machine interface: determining a level of attention of a user of the human-machine interface to the human-machine interface; and setting an energy and/or resource utilization related setting of the human-machine interface based on the determined level of attention.

According to various examples of the present invention, an electronic device for controlling a plurality of displays can comprise: a first display for displaying a first screen; a second display for displaying a second screen; and a control unit for determining attributes of the first screen and the second screen, for determining whether to display, on a display that does not enter into an idle mode, a screen displayed on a display that enters into the idle mode in correspondence to the entry into the idle mode of either the first display or the second display, and for controlling the first display or the second display such that the first screen or the second screen is displayed thereon. In addition, various other examples are possible.

A control method of a power supply path includes detecting a plug-in state of a first connector through a configuration channel pin of the first connector; acquiring a plurality of rated voltages of a first power adaptor externally connected to the first connector and a rated current corresponding to each of the rated voltages; detecting a plug-in state of a second connector through a direct-current (DC) input pin of the second connector; acquiring a power quota of a second power adaptor externally connected to the second connector; selecting, from the plurality of rated voltages, the largest one that is not greater than an operating voltage, as a selected rated voltage; calculating a power quota of the selected rated voltage; and controlling a switching circuit to couple a power circuit to a power pin of one of the first and second connectors according to the two power quotas.

A data transmission method is provided, the method is applied to a wearable apparatus configured with a first operation system and a second operation system, and a power consumption of the first operation system is lower than a power consumption of the second operation system; the method; the method includes: obtaining a type of data to be transmitted; detecting current screen state information of the wearable apparatus; and determining target data according to the current screen state information of the wearable apparatus and the type of data to be transmitted, and transmitting the target data from the first operation system of the wearable apparatus to the second operation system of the wearable apparatus.

A display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise: a roller accommodated in the housing; a display configured to be withdrawn from or retracted into the housing by operating the roller; and a control unit configured to control the roller such that a screen of the display is formed to face at least one of a first direction and a second direction.

A computing device includes a display panel having a first end and a second end, a sensor, and a processing circuitry. The display panel includes a matrix of pixels and defines an aperture surrounded by pixels of the matrix of pixels but that does not include pixels of the matrix of pixels. A length of the aperture parallel to an axis connecting the first end and the second end is greater than a length of the aperture perpendicular to the axis. The sensor is configured to capture light that passes through the aperture. The processing circuitry, disposed proximal to the second end, is configured to output control signals to pixels of the matrix of pixels.

Some disclosed methods involve controlling, via a control system of an apparatus, a touch sensor system to obtain touch sensor data in a touch sensor system active area of the apparatus. Some disclosed methods involve controlling, via the control system, a fingerprint sensor system of the apparatus to obtain fingerprint sensor data in a fingerprint sensor system active area of the apparatus. Some disclosed methods involve determining, via the control system and based on the touch sensor data, n touch locations corresponding to n last user touches and controlling, via the control system, a size of the touch sensor system active area based, at least in part, on the n touch locations.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for use with expandable displays. In some implementations management techniques and/or systems are provided that allow for access to expandable display functionality to be managed to as to potentially prolong device battery life. In other or additional implementations, techniques and/or systems are provided for potentially safeguarding devices with expandable displays from damage in the event of a fall or drop event. In yet other or additional implementations, techniques and/or systems are provided for determining the expansion state of an expandable display, thereby allowing corrective measures to be taken if the actual expansion state of the expandable display does not align with the expected expansion state of the expandable display.

A screen display control method may be implemented by an electronic device configured with a foldable touchscreen. The touchscreen includes a first area and a second area. A first interface is displayed in a first area and a first operation is detected in a first interface. A second interface is displayed in a second area in response to the first operation and the second interface is associated with content displayed in the first interface.

An electronic device able to be operated with a first state and a second state includes a substrate and light emitting units. When the electronic device is extended along a direction from the first state to the second state, the substrate has a first width in the first state and a second width in the second state in the direction, and the second width is greater than the first width. The light emitting units are disposed on the substrate and can be in a mode of ON. The number of the light emitting units being in the mode of ON in the second state is greater than that in the first state. The numbers of the light emitting units being in the mode of ON per unit area of the substrate while in the first state and second state are respectively defined as PPA_1 and PPA_2, and 1.5×PPA_1≥PPA_2≥0.5×PPA_1.
