  • Patent number: 12014026
    Abstract: Using a set of menu to key process mappings, historical menu usage data for an application is aggregated into aggregated key process usage data. A set of key process association rules, each comprising a consequent key process given a particular antecedent key process, is generated. From the set of key process association rules and a set of ranked menus by frequency of usage within each key process, a set of model menu recommendations is generated. According to an application usage history, a menu frequency ratio, and a confidence value of a modelled next menu, the set of menu recommendations is scored. A scored menu recommendation having a rank below a threshold rank is pruned from a set of menu items of the application ranked according to their scores. The pruned set of scored menu recommendations is presented for selection instead of the set of menu items.

  • Publication number: 20240184350
    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.
