Abstract

A message display method includes receiving, by a terminal device, a message from a second application (APP) when displaying an interface of a first APP, wherein the first APP and the second APP are different applications (APPs), displaying the message in a pop-up window display manner on the interface, accepting a first operation comprising sliding, double-taping, or touching and holding the pop-up window of the message, and displaying, in response to the first operation, content of the message in a split-screen display manner.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving a message from a second application (APP) when displaying an interface of a first APP;
making a selection of a display manner of the message by querying a pre-stored mapping relationship table between the message and the display manner, wherein the pre-stored mapping relationship table and comprises a relationship between the display manner and one of a message type of the second application, a priority of the message, category label of the second APP, or an identifier of the second APP, and wherein the display manner comprises a split-screen display manner, a pop-up window display manner, or a drop-down notification bar display manner;
displaying, based on the selection after querying the pre-stored mapping relationship table between the message and the display manner, the message in the pop-up window display manner on the interface of the first APP when the message type indicates that the message does not comprise an edit text;
accepting, during displaying the message, a first operation comprising sliding, double-tapping, or touching and holding a pop-up window of the message; and
displaying, in response to the first operation, content of the message in the split-screen display manner.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interface is a full-screen display mode.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein after displaying the message, the method further comprises hiding the pop-up window when a displaying duration of the pop-up window exceeds a preset duration.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein before displaying the content, the method further comprises checking whether the second APP supports the split-screen display manner.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
accepting a second operation; and
setting, in response to the second operation, a size of the first APP and the second APP.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
accepting a third operation; and
setting, in response to the third operation, a location of the first APP and the second APP.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the location is an up-down location or a left-right location.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pop-up window comprises an icon of the second APP or brief content of the message.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the split-screen display manner, a second content of the first APP is not interrupted.

10. A terminal device comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive a message from a second application (APP) when displaying an interface of a first APP;
make a selection of a display manner of the message based on a pre-stored mapping relationship table between the message and the display manner, wherein the pre-stored mapping relationship table comprises a relationship between the display manner and one of a message type of the second application, a priority of the message, category label of the second APP, or an identifier of the second APP, and wherein the display manner comprises a split-screen display manner, a pop-up window display manner, or a drop-down notification bar display manner;
display, based on the selection after querying the pre-stored mapping relationship table between the message and the display manner, the message in the pop-up window display manner on the interface of the first APP when the message type indicates that the message does not comprise an edit text;
accept, during displaying the message, a first operation comprising sliding, double-tapping, or touching and holding a pop-up window; and
display, in response to the first operation, content of the message in the split-screen display manner.

11. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the interface is a full-screen display mode.

12. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to hide the pop-up window when a displaying duration of the pop-up window exceeds a preset duration.

13. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to check whether the second APP supports the split-screen display manner before displaying the content.

14. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
accept a second operation; and
set, in response to the second operation, a size of the first APP and the second APP.

15. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
accept a third operation; and
set, in response to the third operation, a location of the first APP and the second APP.

16. The terminal device of claim 15 , wherein the location is an up-down location or a left-right location.

17. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the pop-up window comprises an icon of the second APP or brief content of the message.

18. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein in the split-screen display manner, a second content of the first APP is not interrupted.

19. 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 terminal device to:
receive a message from a second application (APP) when displaying an interface of a first APP;
make a selection of a display manner of the message based on a pre-stored mapping relationship table between the message and the display manner, wherein the pre-stored mapping relationship table comprises a relationship between the display manner and one of a message type of the second application, a priority of the message, category label of the second APP, or an identifier of the second APP, and wherein the display manner comprises a split-screen display manner, a pop-up window display manner, or a drop-down notification bar display manner;
display, based on the selection after querying the pre-stored mapping relationship table between the message and the display manner, the message in the pop-up window display manner on the interface of the first APP when the message type indicates that the message does not comprise an edit text;
accept, during displaying the message, a first operation comprising sliding, double-tapping, or touching and holding a pop-up window of the message; and
display, in response to the first operation, content of the message in the split-screen display manner.

20. The computer program product of claim 19 , wherein the interface is a full-screen display mode.
