  • Patent number: 12563140
    Abstract: This application provides an incoming call volume control method and an electronic device. The method includes: An electronic device determines to start a detection based on a state of a display screen, a state of an optical proximity sensor, and an incoming call situation. During the detection, if target biological feature information is detected by the electronic device, the electronic device may adjust an incoming call volume. Therefore, a convenient and fast incoming call volume adjustment mode is provided, which enables a user to adjust the incoming call volume without operating the electronic device. Moreover, the electronic device starts the detection when a specific condition is satisfied, thereby effectively reducing power consumption while ensuring time relevancy and high efficiency of the detection.

  • Patent number: 12548103
    Abstract: This application relates to the field of terminal technology, and provides an itinerary information prompting method and an electronic device to reduce the difficulty for a user to obtain itinerary information during railway travel and provide travel convenience. The electronic device may detect a current stage of an itinerary. Subsequently, the electronic device may prompt the user with itinerary information that matches the stage of the itinerary. The information that matches the stage of the itinerary is the information to be urgently needed by the user at this stage of the itinerary.

  • Publication number: 20260010344
    Abstract: This application provides an input interaction method, an electronic device, and a readable medium. In an application scenario in which the user views a notification, inputs a text, or the like, an interface displayed by the electronic device includes the first text input area. The user may lift the electronic device to the mouth to speak, and the electronic device enables the first voice-to-text function. The electronic device can display, in the first text input area without an additional operation performed by the user on a screen of the electronic device, a text corresponding to a voice input by the user.

  • Publication number: 20250322189
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a two-dimensional code recognition method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: determining a screen status of the terminal device; if it is determined that the screen status represents that the terminal device is in a screen-on unlocked state, determining posture change information and a screen orientation of the terminal device; and if it is determined that a value represented by the posture change information is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold and the screen orientation is a direction other than a first direction, calling a front-facing camera of the terminal device to obtain an image, recognizing two-dimensional code information in the image, and displaying an application interface corresponding to the two-dimensional code information, where the first direction is a positive direction of a z-axis of a world coordinate system.

  • Patent number: 12443263
    Abstract: This application provides a display screen control method and an electronic device. The method includes: An electronic device starts to perform detection based on a status of a display screen and a status of an optical proximity sensor and with reference to whether a user operation is received. In a detection process, if the electronic device detects target biometric feature information, the electronic device may control the display screen to change from a half-screen-off state to a screen-on state. Therefore, a display screen control method is provided, so that a user can turn on the display screen of the electronic device without needing to operate the electronic device. In addition, when a condition is met, the electronic device starts detection, so as to ensure real-time and efficient detection, and effectively reduce power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20250021202
    Abstract: A method is: An electronic device displays a first interface of a first application in full screen at a first moment. The electronic device displays split-screen prompt information in the first interface of the first application when a first preset condition is satisfied, where in the split-screen prompt information, an application icon of the first application is located on a left side, an upper side, or an upper left side of an application icon of a second application, a preset graphic and/or preset text are also included in the split-screen prompt information. The electronic device displays a split-screen interface in response to an operation by a user based on the split-screen prompt information, where the split-screen interface includes the first interface of the first application and a second interface of the second application.
