Abstract: A supporting structure includes: a first supporting module located below the flexible screen and used for supporting the flexible screen, which has a first opening; and a second supporting module, which is located at a position corresponding to the first opening, when an external force acts through the flexible screen, the second supporting module forms a deformation protrusion towards a direction away from the flexible screen; and when the external force is removed, the deformation of the second supporting module is removed. Supporting the flexible screen corresponding to the first opening by the second supporting module can reduce a probability that the flexible screen collapses at the position of the first opening, thereby making appearance of the flexible screen flat.

Abstract: A method and a terminal device are provided for waking up an icon. Upon detection of a first wake event while a display screen of said terminal device is in a Screen-Off mode, the terminal device determines whether a second wake event is detected within a preset time threshold. The display screen is equipped with an under-screen fingerprint recognition circuitry in a fingerprint recognition area. Upon detection of said second wake event within said preset time threshold, the terminal device causes said display screen to switch into a Screen-On mode in which a preset icon is displayed in the fingerprint recognition area. When said second wake event is not detected within said preset time threshold, the said terminal device causes said display screen to switch into an Always on Display mode in which said preset icon is displayed in the fingerprint recognition area.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a system that controls content distribution using a feedback loop. Content is distributed over multiple different online channels using a same initial selection value for distribution over each different online channel. An observed user actions required for distribution of the content over the multiple different online channels is received through a feedback loop and for multiple different distributions of the content. Based on the observed user actions received through the feedback loop, a predicted user action rate is determined for the multiple different distributions across the multiple different online channels. The selection value is adjusted based on a difference between the predicted user action rate and a reference distribution amount specified by a provider of the content. The content is distributed over the multiple different online channels using the adjusted selection value.
