SERVICE WIDGET DISPLAY METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a service widget display method, an electronic device, and a storage medium.

BACKGROUND

As terminal devices are increasingly popularized, people often use services provided by various applications on the terminal devices to perform various activities, for example, use a transport code to take a public transport, use Scan to unlock a bicycle, or use a payment/collection code to perform a transaction.

Currently, service information displayed when the terminal device responds to an operation of invoking a service widget by a user is usually a fixed service preset on the terminal device. If the currently displayed service information does not include a service (a target service) to be used by the user, the user further needs to continue to perform another operation to reach the target service. Consequently, experience of using the service widget by the user is degraded.

Therefore, a service widget capable of intelligently recommending a service to a user is urgently required to improve user experience.

SUMMARY

This application provides a service widget display method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, so that a suitable service can be recommended to a user based on a current scenario of the electronic device and a habit of the user, thereby improving user experience.

According to a first aspect, a service widget display method is provided. The method is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes: receiving a first operation of a user in a first state; displaying a first service widget in response to the first operation, where the first service widget includes a first target service; receiving a second operation of the user in a second state; and displaying a second service widget in response to the second operation, where the second service widget includes a second target service; and the first target service is different from the second target service, and one or more of the following information of the electronic device in the first state and the second state are different: a current location and current time of the electronic device.

Current locations of the electronic device in the first state and the second state are different, in other words, when a service widget is invoked at different locations, different services are recommended to the user. Alternatively, locations are the same but time is different in the first state and the second state, in other words, different services are recommended to the user at a same location and in different time periods. According to this embodiment of this application, when an operation of invoking a service widget by the user is received, a service that is most likely to be used by the user may be recommended based on the current location and/or the current time of the electronic device, so that when using a service provided by an application, the user does not need to invoke a corresponding service by performing another operation. Therefore, steps are simple, and operations are convenient. In addition, a service page can be directly reached, so that user experience is improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first target service includes a plurality of sub-services, and the displaying a first service widget in response to the first operation includes: displaying a first sub-service in the first service widget in response to the first operation.

The first sub-service is one of the plurality of sub-services.

In this application, when a target service includes a plurality of sub-services, and the terminal device receives an operation of invoking a service widget by the user, the terminal device may accurately recommend a sub-service of the service to the user based on the current location and/or time, so that user experience is improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: receiving a third operation of the user in a third state, where one or more of the following information of the electronic device in the third state and the first state are different: the current location and the current time of the electronic device; and displaying a third service widget in response to the third operation, where the third service widget includes a second sub-service, the second sub-service is one of the plurality of sub-services, and the second sub-service is different from the first sub-service.

Current locations of the electronic device in the third state and the first state are different, in other words, when a service widget is invoked at different locations, different services are recommended to the user. Alternatively, locations are the same but time is different in the first state and the third state, in other words, different services are recommended to the user at a same location and in different time periods. According to this embodiment of this application, when an operation of invoking a service widget by the user is received, a sub-service that is most likely to be used by the user may be recommended based on the current location and/or the current time of the electronic device, so that recommendation accuracy is improved. In this way, the user may not need to select a corresponding sub-service of a recommended service again, so that user experience is improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: receiving a fourth operation performed by the user on the first service widget; and switching the first sub-service in the first service widget to a third sub-service in response to the fourth operation, where the third sub-service is one of the plurality of sub-services, and the third sub-service is different from the first sub-service.

Based on this, in response to the fourth operation, the electronic device switches a service displayed on a current service widget, so that when the user needs to use different services provided by a same service, the user can quickly switch to another sub-service. Therefore, operation steps are simple, and user experience of using different sub-services is improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: after the first service widget is displayed, receiving a fifth operation performed by the user on the first service widget; and switching the first target service in the first service widget to a third target service in response to the fifth operation.

Based on this, in response to the fifth operation, the electronic device switches a service displayed on a current service widget to another service, so that when the user needs to use services provided by different applications, the user can quickly switch to another service without exiting a current application to invoke a corresponding service from another application. Therefore, operation steps are simple, and user experience can be improved.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first service widget and the second service widget include a first area and a second area, the first area includes one or more service options, and the second area is used to display service information corresponding to a selected service option.

The service option may be a service icon shown below. The first area is used to display the service icon, and the second area is used to display a service, namely, the service information, recommended by the electronic device.

It should be understood that the service option corresponding to the selected service information may not be included in the first area.

In this application, other service options are displayed on a service widget, so that when the user is dissatisfied with a service recommended by the electronic device, the user can quickly switch, by using the service options displayed on the service widget, to a service that the user expects to use, thereby improving user experience.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first area includes a first sub-area and a second sub-area, the first sub-area is used to display a first-type service option, and a user of the second sub-area displays a second-type service option.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first-type service option is a service option preset by the user, and the second-type service option is a service option recommended by the electronic device to the user.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, a service corresponding to the second-type service option is a second-type service, and the second-type service includes the first target service, the second target service, or the third target service.

In this application, a service option preset by the user may be displayed on a service widget invoked each time. It may be understood that a service corresponding to this type of service option is a service most frequently used by the user. Therefore, displaying the first-type service on the service widget invoked each time can meet a requirement of the user for switching to a common service in any scenario.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first service widget and the second service widget include a plurality of same service options, and an order of the plurality of service options in a first area of the first service widget is different from an order of the plurality of service options in a first area of the second service widget.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, a service option corresponding to the first target service is located at a first location in the first area of the first service widget, and a service option corresponding to the second target service is located at a second location in the first area of the first service widget; and the service option corresponding to the second target service is located at a third location in the first area of the second service widget, and the service option corresponding to the first target service is located at a fourth location in the first area of the second service widget, where a location of the first location in the first area is the same as a location of the third location in the first area; and a location of the second location in the first area is the same as or different from a location of the fourth location in the first area.

When recommending a service, the electronic device also displays a service option corresponding to the service at a fixed location in a first area of a service widget, for example, a leftmost location of the first area. Therefore, locations of service options corresponding to services recommended by the electronic device in different scenarios are the same. In this recommendation manner, the user can quickly learn of a location of a service option corresponding to a service recommended by the electronic device.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, at least one service option is different in a plurality of service options included in the first service widget and a plurality of service options included in the second service widget.

The key 190 includes a power key, a volume key, and the like. The key 190 may be a mechanical key, or may be a touch key. The terminal device may receive key input and generate key signal input related to user settings and function control of the terminal device. The indicator 192 may be an indicator light, may be configured to indicate a charging status or a power change, and may be further configured to indicate a message, a missed call, a notification, and the like.

A software system of the terminal device may use a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, a cloud architecture, or the like. Details are not described herein.

The following describes, in detail by using specific embodiments, the technical solutions of this application and how the foregoing technical problems are resolved by using the technical solutions of this application. The following several specific embodiments may be implemented independently, or may be combined with each other. For same or similar concepts or processes, details may not be described again in some embodiments. It should be understood that an interface provided in embodiments of this application is only an example, and does not constitute a further limitation on embodiments of this application.

For example, when a user uses, for the first time, a new terminal device or a terminal device obtained after a system is updated (it should be noted that some functions of the terminal device are unknown to the user in the two scenarios), the terminal device receives a trigger operation of the user, and displays a novice user guide. For example, the user double-taps the back of the mobile phone, touches and holds a volume key, or the like, so that the terminal device displays the novice user guide when displaying a service widget. The novice user guide may include prompt information. The prompt information is used to give a prompt that the service widget intelligently learns a use habit of the user as the user uses the service widget, and performs accurate recommendation. The novice user guide may further include a use learning guide, a manner of guiding the user in learning to use the terminal device, and the like.

It should be understood that the service widget in embodiments of this application may also be referred to as a service page or another name. This is not limited in this application.

For example, the service widget in embodiments of this application may be invoked in any manner shown in the following Table 1.

When the user invokes a service widget for the first time, the terminal device may display a recommended service on the service widget based on preset service icons, currently recognized scenarios (for example, different locations), and big data.

The big data may include services used by most users at a current location and/or at current time.

Alternatively, a neural network model may be built in the terminal device, and the neural network model may be a model obtained through training by using labeled big data. The terminal device may input a parameter of the currently recognized scenario into the neural network model, to obtain a recommendation result.

In a possible implementation, if an application corresponding to a to-be-recommended service obtained by the terminal device based on big data in a process in which the terminal device recommends a service for the first time is not installed on the terminal device, the terminal device displays, on the service widget based on an order of the preset service icons, a service corresponding to the first service icon that ranks higher.

In different scenarios, services used by the user are different. To further improve experience of using the service widget by the user, in embodiments of this application, intelligent learning may be performed by recording frequency of using various types of services by the user in different scenarios (for example, at different locations) and at different time, so that the terminal device can recommend, based on a use habit (service+time+location) of each user, a service suitable for a current user. In other words, when the user invokes the service widget at different locations and at different time, the terminal device may display, on the service widget based on a habit of the current user, a service commonly used by the user, and may further give a high rank to a service icon corresponding to a service to which the user often switches in the scenario.

With reference to specific scenarios, the following describes in detail a case in which a user invokes a service widget in different scenarios. It should be understood that in embodiments of this application, various service icons may be referred to as service options, service content may be referred to as service information, an area in which the service information (the service content) is displayed on the service widget is referred to as a second area, a service icon display area is referred to as a first area, and a service to which the service information belongs in the service widget is referred to as a target service.

Scenario 1: The user is accustomed to using a WeChat payment service when shopping in a shopping mall.

The user invokes a service widget on a terminal device in the shopping mall for the first time, and the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 5A. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes a WeChat Scan service 501 (service information), a WeChat Scan icon 502, a WeChat Money icon 503, an Alipay Pay/Collect icon 504, and an Alipay Scan icon 505. A current display interface of the terminal device is not the WeChat payment service expected by the user. Therefore, the user needs to switch a current service to the WeChat payment service.

In a possible implementation, in the interface shown in FIG. 5A, the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 5B in response to a service switching operation of the user (for example, the user may tap the WeChat Money icon 503). The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes a WeChat payment QR code 506, a WeChat payment barcode 507, the WeChat Scan icon 502, the WeChat Money icon 503, the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 504, and the Alipay Scan icon 505. In other words, the terminal device switches a service in the service widget from the WeChat Scan service to the WeChat payment service (namely, the WeChat payment QR code and the WeChat payment barcode) in response to the service switching operation of the user.

When the user re-invokes the service widget in the shopping mall after the user uses, for a period of time (N days) in the shopping mall, the WeChat payment service provided by the service widget, an interface shown in FIG. 5C is displayed. The interface includes a service widget (which may be a first service widget or a second service widget). The service widget includes the WeChat payment QR code 506, the WeChat payment barcode 507 (service information), the WeChat Scan icon 502, the WeChat Money icon 503, the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 504, and the Alipay Scan icon 505.

In another possible implementation, to easily use a service provided by the WeChat Money icon 503, the user may continue to adjust a location of the WeChat Money icon after service switching.

For example, in the interface shown in FIG. 5B, the terminal device receives an operation of adjusting a service icon by the user (for example, the user may touch and hold the WeChat Money icon 503, and move the icon 503 to a leftmost location of an icon display area), and displays an interface shown in FIG. 5D. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes the WeChat payment QR code 506, the WeChat payment barcode 507, the WeChat Scan icon 502, the WeChat Money icon 503, the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 504, and the Alipay Scan icon 505. When the user re-invokes the service widget next time within a range in which a same geo-fence is located, or when the user re-invokes the service widget after using the service widget for a period of time, the terminal device may directly display the interface shown in FIG. 5D.

With reference to the foregoing example (the example of switching from FIG. 5B to FIG. 5D), when the user re-invokes the service widget in the shopping mall after the user uses, for a period of time (N days) in the shopping mall, the WeChat payment service provided by the service widget, an interface shown in FIG. 5E is displayed. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes the WeChat payment QR code 506, the WeChat payment barcode 507, the WeChat Money icon 503, the WeChat Scan icon 502, the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 504, and the Alipay Scan icon 505. Compared with the interface shown in FIG. 5C, an order of the service icons displayed on the service widget changes, and the WeChat Money service icon is arranged on the leftmost side.

It should be understood that after the user uses the service widget for a period of time, the terminal device has learned a use habit that a service commonly used by the user in the shopping mall is the WeChat payment service. Then, when the terminal device receives, in this scenario again, an operation of invoking the service widget, the terminal device may intelligently recommend, based on a current location of the terminal device, a service most frequently used by the user.

Scenario 2: The user uses a metro code to take a metro at a metro station.

When the user invokes a service widget near the metro station for the first time, a terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 6A. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes a QR code 601 of an electronic metro card, a WeChat Scan icon 602, a WeChat Money icon 603, an Alipay Pay/Collect icon 604, and a Transport service icon 605 corresponding to the electronic metro card. A service displayed in a current display interface of the terminal device is a service expected by the user. Therefore, the user does not need to switch the current service again.

Optionally, to easily use a service provided by the Transport service icon 605, the user may move the Transport service icon 605 to a leftmost location of a service icon display area. For example, the user may touch and hold the Transport service icon 605, and move the Transport service icon 605 to the leftmost location, namely, a location of the WeChat Scan icon 602. Correspondingly, other icons are sequentially moved rightward. To be specific, the WeChat Scan icon 602 is moved to a location of the WeChat Money icon 603, the WeChat Money icon 603 is moved to a location of the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 604, and the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 604 is moved to a location of the Transport service icon 605. For a display order of the service icons after the moving, refer to locations of the service icons in an interface shown in FIG. 6B.

In a possible implementation, the user adjusts the location of the Transport service icon (for example, in the interface shown in FIG. 6B). When the user re-invokes the service widget at the metro station after the user uses the service widget near the metro station for a period of times (N days), an interface shown in FIG. 6C is displayed. The interface includes a service widget (which may be a first service widget or a second service widget). The service widget includes the QR code 601 of the electronic metro card, the Transport service icon 605 corresponding to the electronic metro card, the WeChat Scan icon 602, the WeChat Money icon 603, and the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 604. Compared with the interface shown in FIG. 6A, an order of the service icons displayed on the service widget changes.

In another possible implementation, the user does not adjust the location of the Transport service icon (for example, in the interface shown in FIG. 6A). When the user re-invokes the service widget at the metro station after the user uses the service widget near the metro station for a period of time (N days), the interface shown in FIG. 6A is still displayed.

It can be learned from Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 that before use habit data of the user is not obtained, the electronic device may recommend a service to the user based on big data. For example, when the service widget is used at the metro station for the first time, a metro QR code is displayed, so that the user can travel. When the service widget is used in the shopping mall for the first time, a code scanning service interface is displayed, so that the user can scan a code for payment.

Scenario 3: The user uses an Alipay Scan service to pay for breakfast near home in the morning, and uses a WeChat Scan service near home in the afternoon to scan a health code and present a health status.

1. The user invokes a service widget on a terminal device near home in the morning (for example, during working hours).

The terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 7A(1) in response to an operation of invoking the service widget by the user for the first time. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes a WeChat Scan service 701, a WeChat Scan icon 702, a WeChat Money icon 703, an Alipay Pay/Collect icon 704, and an Alipay Scan icon 705. A current display interface of the terminal device is not the Alipay Scan service expected by the user. Therefore, the user needs to switch a current service to the Alipay Scan service.

In a possible implementation, in the interface shown in FIG. 7A(1), the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 7A(2) in response to a service switching operation of the user (for example, the user may tap the Alipay Scan icon 705). The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes Alipay Scan 706, the WeChat Scan icon 702, the WeChat Money icon 703, the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 704, and the Alipay Scan icon 705.

When the user re-invokes the service widget near home in the morning after the user uses, for a period of time (N days) near home in the morning, the Alipay Scan service provided by the service widget, an interface shown in FIG. 7A(3) is displayed. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes Alipay Scan 706, the WeChat Scan icon 702, the WeChat Money icon 703, the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 704, and the Alipay Scan icon 705.

In another possible implementation, to easily use a service provided by the Alipay Scan icon 705, the user may continue to adjust a location of the Alipay Scan icon after service switching.

For example, in the interface shown in FIG. 7A(2), the terminal device receives an operation of adjusting a service icon by the user (for example, the user may touch and hold the Alipay Scan icon 705, and move the icon 705 to a leftmost location of an icon display area), and displays an interface shown in FIG. 7A(4). The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes Alipay Scan 706, the Alipay Scan icon 705, the WeChat Scan icon 702, the WeChat Money icon 703, and the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 704.

With reference to the foregoing example, when the user re-invokes the service widget near home in the morning after the user uses, for a period of time (N days) near home in the morning, the WeChat payment service provided by the service widget, an interface shown in FIG. 7A(5) is displayed. The interface includes a service widget (which may be a first service widget or a second service widget). The service widget includes Alipay Scan 706, the Alipay Scan icon 705, the WeChat Money icon 703, the WeChat Scan icon 702, and the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 704. Compared with the interface shown in FIG. 7A(3), an order of the service icons displayed on the service widget changes.

2. The user invokes a service widget on a terminal device near home in the afternoon (for example, during off-duty time).

The terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 7B(1) in response to an operation of invoking the service widget by the user for the first time. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes a WeChat Scan service 701, a WeChat Scan icon 702, a WeChat Money icon 703, an Alipay Pay/Collect icon 704, and an Alipay Scan icon 705. A service displayed in a current display interface of the terminal device is a service expected by the user. Therefore, the user does not need to switch the current service again.

In the interface shown in FIG. 7B(1), the WeChat Scan icon 702 is located at a leftmost location of a service icon display area on the service widget. Optionally, the user may move, based on a use habit of the user, the WeChat Scan icon 702 to another location in the service icon display area, for example, to the rightmost side of the service icon display area. For a specific manner of adjusting the service icon, refer to related descriptions of adjusting the Transport icon in Scenario 2. Details are not described herein again.

If the user does not adjust a location of the service icon, when the user re-invokes the service widget near home in the afternoon after the user uses, for a period of time (N days) near home in the afternoon, the WeChat Scan service provided by the service widget, an interface shown in FIG. 7B(2) is displayed. The interface is the same as the interface shown in FIG. 7B(1).

Optionally, when performing intelligent recommendation, the terminal device may display, on the service widget based on a current location and current time of the current terminal device, service content most frequently used by the user, without adjusting service icons on the service widget; or display, on the service widget, service content most frequently used by the user, while adjusting service icons on the service widget, to be specific, sequentially displaying corresponding service icons on the service widget in descending order of frequency of using various services by the user in the scenario. For example, if the user often switches between a health code and a metro code at a metro station, a Transport icon and a health code icon rank higher.

It should be noted that after learning a habit of using the service widget by the user, the terminal device may continue to learn the habit of using the service widget by the user, to continuously update a service recommended to the user at a same location and/or at same time. For example, the user is accustomed to using the Alipay Scan service for a period of time near home in the morning. When the user re-invokes the service widget after use of a period of time after the terminal device learns the habit of the user, displayed service content is the Alipay Scan service. However, after a period of time after the terminal device learns the use habit, the user often switches the Alipay Scan service to the WeChat Scan service. In this case, the terminal device continues to learn a habit of using WeChat Scan by the user, so that when the user re-invokes the service widget near home in the morning after a period of time, service content displayed on the service widget changes from Alipay Scan to WeChat Scan.

It should be noted that a service included in a service widget displayed for the first time, a type of a service icon, a quantity of service icons, and an order of service icons from left to right may be preset on the terminal device by a developer.

For example, the terminal device may record a geo-fence, time, and/or the like, and one or more services often used by the user in the geo-fence and/or at the time (for example, a service switching operation may be recorded, and a service displayed for five seconds or more is recorded), to implement intelligent recommendation for the user, make the service widget more personalized, and further improve user experience.

Based on this, when a service widget is invoked, the terminal device may intelligently recommend and display, based on a use habit of the user, current time, and a current location of a current terminal device, a service and a service icon that the user needs to use, so that the service widget is more personalized, and the user does not need to switch to a target service for a plurality of times after the service widget is invoked, thereby improving user experience.

The following describes in detail a service widget switching manner provided in embodiments of this application with reference to FIG. 8A to FIG. 8E. For ease of description, in embodiments of this application, an operation of invoking the service widget by the user is described as a first operation.

FIG. 8A to FIG. 8E are a schematic diagram of an interface of switching a service widget according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 8A, the interface is a service widget displayed by a terminal device in response to a first operation of a user. The service widget may include a WeChat payment barcode 801, a WeChat payment QR code 802, a WeChat Money icon 803, a WeChat Scan icon 804, an Alipay Pay/Collect icon 805, and an Alipay Scan icon 806. The WeChat payment barcode and the WeChat payment QR code belong to a WeChat Money service, in other words, a WeChat payment service is a sub-service of the WeChat Money service, and the WeChat Money service further includes a plurality of other sub-services such as Balance 807, Receive Money 808, Reward Code 809, Split Bill 810, Packets Nearby 811, and Transfer to Bank Card/Mobile No. 812. In this case, a service provided by the service widget shown in FIG. 8A is the WeChat payment service.

In the interface shown in FIG. 8A, the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 8B in response to an operation of sliding the service widget up by the user. The interface includes the other sub-services such as Balance 807, Receive Money 808, Reward Code 809, Split Bill 810, Packets Nearby 811, and Transfer to Bank Card/Mobile No. 812. In the interface shown in FIG. 8B, the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 8C in response to an operation of tapping a Receive Money control by the user. The interface includes a WeChat collection QR code.

It should be understood that a sub-service recommended by the terminal device may also change based on a use habit of the user. In other words, the terminal device may recommend, based on a current location and/or current time, a service that the user expects to use. The service may be any sub-service included in a service corresponding to any service icon.

In the interface shown in FIG. 8C, the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 8D in response to an operation of tapping the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 805 by the user. The interface includes an Alipay payment QR code 813, an Alipay payment barcode 814, the WeChat Scan icon 804, the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 805, and the Alipay Scan icon 806. Alternatively, in the interface shown in FIG. 8C, the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 8E in response to an operation of sliding the service left by the user. The interface includes a WeChat Scan service 815, the WeChat Money icon 803, the WeChat Scan icon 804, the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 805, and the Alipay Scan icon 806.

Optionally, the foregoing service switching operation may be performed through shaking.

It should be understood that after the foregoing leftward/rightward service sliding, a service displayed on the service widget may be a service corresponding to a service icon included in a current service widget, or may not be a service corresponding to a service icon included in a current service widget. For example, in the interface shown in FIG. 8E, a service displayed on the service widget is the WeChat Scan service. In this case, the service widget includes the icon 804 corresponding to the WeChat Scan service. It should be understood that the service displayed on the service widget is the WeChat Scan service, but the icon 804 corresponding to the WeChat Scan service may not be displayed on the service widget.

Optionally, the service widget may include one or more services. For example, a service is displayed on a bar-type mobile phone, and a plurality of services may be displayed in parallel on a foldable screen in an unfolded state or a slate. A quantity of service pages displayed on the service widget is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

Optionally, the service widget may include only various services, and does not include a service icon. It should be understood that when the service widget does not include a service icon, the terminal device may display another service in response to a manner in which the user slides a current service left/right. For example, refer to FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B. As shown in FIG. 9A, the interface is a display form of a service widget. The service widget displays the WeChat Scan service, but does not include a service icon. In the interface shown in FIG. 9A, an interface shown in FIG. 9B is displayed in response to a leftward sliding operation of the user. The interface is an interface displayed after switching to another service (the WeChat Money service) is performed.

It should be noted that when the user exits the service widget for the first time and returns to the home screen or unlocks the terminal device next time, the user may be notified of a function of the newly added service widget of the terminal device by using a banner, or may be reminded of a function of the newly added service widget of the terminal device in another manner. Optionally, the user may be reminded of the function of the newly added service widget twice or three times, and specific reminding time may be after the function is used for the first time, after seven days after the function is used, after 14 days after the function is used, or the like. This manner can avoid a problem that after the user exits the service widget, because the user forgets the function of the newly added service widget of the terminal device, the user continues to invoke a service in an existing manner when invoking the service widget next time.

It should be noted that service icons included in the service widgets shown in FIG. 5A to FIG. 9B may be all recommended by the terminal device, or partially recommended by the terminal device and partially added by the user through customization. The following describes a service icon custom-adding process in detail with reference to FIG. 10A(1) to FIG. 10B(2).

FIG. 10A(1) to FIG. 10A(5) are a schematic diagram of an interface of a service icon custom-adding process according to an embodiment of this application. An interface shown in FIG. 10A(1) includes a setting icon 1001 and a service widget. The service widget includes a WeChat payment QR code and payment barcode, a WeChat Money icon 1002, a WeChat Scan icon 1003, an Alipay Pay/Collect icon 1004, and an Alipay Scan icon 1005. It should be understood that all service icons included in the service widget shown in FIG. 10A(1) are added by the user through customization.

In the interface shown in FIG. 10A(1), the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 10A(2) in response to an operation performed by the user on the setting icon 1001. The interface is a service widget setting interface. The interface includes an enable/disable control 1006 for “enabling/disabling” the service widget, an enable/disable control 1007 for “enabling/disabling” intelligent recommendation, an “Added” area 1008 (the area includes an added service icon, and each service icon has a “−” control), and a “Not added” area 1009 (the area includes a service icon that is not added, and each service icon has a “+” control). The interface further includes an introduction and an operation manner of a related function. For example, for a service widget function, “After the function is enabled, knock the back of your phone twice to display the service widget” is displayed below an enable/disable control corresponding to the function. For an intelligent recommendation function, “After the function is enabled, the service is intelligently recommended” is displayed below an enable/disable control corresponding to the function, and “Touch and hold and drag the icon to add the icon or adjust the order” is displayed below the “Added” area 1008.

The user may select, in the “Not added” area 1009, one or more services that need to be added to the “Added” area 1008. Alternatively, the user may remove one or more services in the “Added” area 1008 to the “Not added” area 1009. Alternatively, the user may touch and hold and drag a service icon that needs to be moved to perform a custom adjustment to an order of the service icons in the “Added” area 1008.

It should be understood that the interface shown in FIG. 10A(2) may alternatively be entered from a Settings application. The process may include: Settings-Accessibility features-Shortcuts & gestures-Shortcuts widget-Display service widgets. It should be noted that the process is merely an example of embodiments of this application, and another manner that is defined in the future or in another terminal device and that is used to set a service widget setting interface falls within the protection scope of embodiments of this application.

It should be further understood that the foregoing service adding operation may be that the user taps a “+” control on a service icon, or the user touches and holds the service icon and drags the service icon to the “Added” area 1008. The foregoing removal operation may be that the user taps a “−” control on a service icon, or the user touches and holds the service icon and drags the service icon to the “Not added” area 1009.

For example, in the interface shown in FIG. 10A(2), the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 10A(3) in response to an operation of tapping a “−” control on the Alipay Scan service icon by the user. An “Added” area 1008 of the interface does not include the Alipay Scan service icon. In the interface shown in FIG. 10A(3), the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 10A(4) in response to an operation of tapping a “+” control on a Transport service icon 1010 by the user. An “Added” area 1008 of the interface includes the Transport service icon 1010. In this case, the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 10A(5) when responding to an operation of invoking the service widget by the user. A service widget displayed in the interface includes the Transport service icon 1010, and does not include the Alipay Scan service icon.

It should be understood that the user may not add any service icon to the “Added” area 1008. In this setting, all service icons included in an invoked service widget are service icons recommended by the terminal device. Alternatively, the user may add one to three service icons to the “Added” area 1008. If four service icons are displayed on a service widget preset in the terminal device, in this setting, one of service icons included in an invoked service widget is a service icon recommended by the terminal device.

FIG. 10B(1) and FIG. 10B(2) are a schematic diagram of an interface of another service icon custom-adding process according to an embodiment of this application. In four service icons included in an interface shown in FIG. 10B(1), three service icons named the WeChat Money icon 1002, the WeChat Scan icon 1003, and the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 1004 are service icons customized by the user, and the Transport service icon 1010 is a service icon recommended by the terminal device. In an interface shown in FIG. 10B(1), the terminal device receives the operation of tapping the setting icon 1001 by the user, and displays an interface shown in FIG. 10B(2). The interface is a service widget setting interface. For related descriptions of the interface, refer to related descriptions in FIG. 10A(1) to FIG. 10A(5). Details are not described herein again.

In the interface shown in FIG. 10B(2), the “Added” area 1008 includes the three service icons customized by the user, and the “Not added” area 1009 includes the Transport service icon recommended by the terminal device. It should be understood that the service recommended by the terminal device may be recommended based on a current location and/or current time of the terminal device.

It should be noted that the service icons displayed in the “Added” area 1008 are the service icons customized by the user, and a display order of the service icons displayed in the area 1008 is a display order of service icons in a corresponding service widget in this setting. In other words, when the terminal device receives, in any scenario and at any time, an operation of invoking the service widget by the user, a service icon that is in service icons included in the service widget and that is customized by the user usually does not change with a scenario and time.

Optionally, when applications installed on the terminal device provide a relatively large quantity of service types, service icons in the “Not added” area on the service widget setting interface may be classified and deployed based on an application type or a service type or in another manner. This is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the “Not added” area on the service widget setting interface may be customized. It should be understood that the customization manner may be used by the user to add an operation or add a result display page. For example, an on/off key is used to turn on/off a TV. To be specific, the user returns to the home, and turns on the television by using the terminal device. In this case, the terminal device receives an operation of invoking a service widget by the user, and displays the on/off key, and the user turns on the TV by using the key.

It should be understood that the service icons included in the service widget setting interface of the terminal device may be updated based on a service included in an application preinstalled on the terminal device. For example, WeChat or Alipay is uninstalled on the terminal device, and correspondingly, service icons corresponding to services provided by WeChat and Alipay on the setting interface are also deleted.

It should be noted that the service widget in this embodiment of this application may be invoked when the terminal device is in any one of the following states: a screen-off state, an always on display (always on display, AOD) state, a screen locked state, a home screen state, or an application running state. With reference to FIG. 11A to FIG. 13C, the following describes in detail a process of invoking a service widget in each of the foregoing states.

FIG. 11A to FIG. 11E are a schematic diagram of an interface in which a terminal device invokes a service widget in a screen-off state according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 11A, the terminal device receives a first operation in the screen-off state, and displays an interface shown in FIG. 11B. The interface is a lock screen, and a blurred contour of the service widget is displayed above lock screen wallpaper. In this case, the terminal device receives an operation of performing unlocking/entering a home screen, and displays an interface shown in FIG. 11C. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes a WeChat Money service. In the interface shown in FIG. 11C, the terminal device receives a service switching operation of a user (for example, the user taps a Scan icon), and displays an interface shown in FIG. 11D. A service displayed on the service widget is a WeChat Scan service. After the user completes using the service provided by the service widget, the terminal device displays an interface shown in FIG. 11E in response to an operation of exiting the service widget by the user. The interface is a home screen of the terminal device.

FIG. 12A to FIG. 12E are a schematic diagram of an interface in which a terminal device invokes a service widget in a screen locked state according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 12A, the terminal device receives a first operation in the screen locked state, and displays an interface shown in FIG. 12B. The interface is a lock screen, and a blurred contour of a service widget is displayed below the lock screen. In this case, the terminal device receives an operation of performing unlocking/entering a home screen, and displays an interface shown in FIG. 12C. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget includes a WeChat Money service. In the interface shown in FIG. 12C, the terminal device receives a service switching operation of a user (for example, the user taps an Alipay Pay/Collect icon), and displays an interface shown in FIG. 12D. A service displayed on the service widget is an Alipay Pay/Collect service. After the user completes using the service provided by the service on the service widget, the terminal device receives an operation of exiting the service widget by the user, and displays an interface shown in FIG. 12D. The interface is a home screen of the terminal device.

It should be noted that some unlock-free services may be directly displayed and used even in the screen locked state, and if the user switches an unlock-free service to a service that needs to be unlocked, the service on the service widget can be displayed only after the terminal device is unlocked.

It should be understood that both the interface shown in FIG. 11B and the interface shown in FIG. 12A are lock screens after a screen of the terminal device is locked.

It should be further understood that in FIG. 11A to FIG. 12E, if the terminal device does not exit a currently used application before the screen is locked, in the scenarios shown in FIG. 11A to FIG. 12E, in response to operations of invoking the service widget and performing unlocking, the terminal device displays the service widget above an interface of the previously running application after the terminal device is unlocked. In other words, in the interfaces shown in FIG. 11C and FIG. 12C, the terminal device displays the service widget above the interface of the previously running application. After exiting the service widget, the terminal device still displays the interface of the application that the terminal device does not exit before the screen is locked.

The service widget shown in FIG. 11C and the service widget shown in FIG. 12C each may be an interface displayed when the user invokes the service widget for the first time. In this case, a service included in the service widget may not be a service expected by the user. Therefore, the user needs to perform an operation of switching a service page.

FIG. 13A to FIG. 13C are a schematic diagram of an interface in which a terminal device invokes a service widget in a home screen state according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 13A, the terminal device receives a first operation in the home screen state (or in an unlocked state in which no application is running), and displays an interface shown in FIG. 13B. The interface is a home screen of the terminal device, and displays a service widget above the home screen. After a user completes using a service provided by the service widget, the terminal device receives an operation of exiting the service widget by the user, and displays an interface shown in FIG. 13C. The interface is completely the same as the interface shown in FIG. 13A.

FIG. 14A to FIG. 14C are a schematic diagram of an interface in which a terminal device invokes a service widget in an application running state according to an embodiment of this application. In an interface shown in FIG. 14A, a video is being played in the foreground of the terminal device. The terminal device receives a first operation, and displays an interface shown in FIG. 14B. The interface includes a service widget, and the service widget may be directly displayed above a video playback page. In other words, the video playback page continues to be displayed below the service widget. It should be understood that when the service widget is displayed in full screen, a blurred video playback page may be displayed in an interface not covered by the service widget. Playback of the video below the service widget may be resumed, paused, muted, or the like based on a default manner of a system. After a user completes using a service provided by the service widget, the terminal device receives an operation of exiting the service widget by the user, and displays an interface shown in FIG. 14C. The interface is the video playback interface shown in FIG. 14A, and the user can continue to watch the video.

It should be understood that the interface shown in FIG. 14A may alternatively be a music playback interface.

It should be understood that services displayed on the service widgets shown in FIG. 13A to FIG. 14C may be services intelligently recommended by the terminal device based on a current location and/or time. The user may directly use the service provided by the current service widget, and does not need to switch to another service.

Based on this, the service widget in this embodiment of this application may be invoked when the terminal device is in any state, and a service is directly reached. Even if a current service is not a service that the user needs to use, the currently displayed service may be switched to a target service on a current service widget. A switching process is simple and quick. After the user completes using the service provided by the service widget, the user exits the service widget, and can still return to a state before the service widget is invoked, so that when using a service provided by an application, the user may not need to enable the application in which the service is located, and may not need to terminate the currently running application, thereby improving user experience.

The service widget included in the interface shown in FIG. 6C in Scenario 2 may be referred to as the second service widget, and a plurality of service options included in a first area of the second service widget are sequentially the Transport service icon 605, the WeChat Scan icon 602, the WeChat Money icon 603, and the Alipay Pay/Collect icon 604 from left to right.

In an optional embodiment, a service option corresponding to the first target service is located at a first location in the first area of the first service widget, and a service option corresponding to the second target service is located at a second location in the first area of the first service widget; and the service option corresponding to the second target service is located at a third location in the first area of the second service widget, and the service option corresponding to the first target service is located at a fourth location in the first area of the second service widget, where a location of the first location in the first area is the same as a location of the third location in the first area; and a location of the second location in the first area is the same as or different from a location of the fourth location in the first area.

With reference to the examples shown in Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, in Scenario 1, the service widget included in the interface shown in FIG. 5E is referred to as the first service widget, a Money service corresponding to a WeChat payment code included in the first service widget is referred to as the first target service, and a WeChat Money service icon corresponding to the first target service is referred to as a service option (a first service option) corresponding to the first target service. In Scenario 2, the service widget included in the interface shown in FIG. 6C is referred to as the second service widget, a Transport service corresponding to an electronic metro card included in the second service widget is referred to as the second target service, and a Transport service icon corresponding to the second target service is referred to as a service option (a second service option) corresponding to the second target service.

It can be learned from the interface shown in FIG. 5E that the first service option is located on the leftmost side of the first area of the first service widget. It can be learned from the interface shown in FIG. 6C that the second service option is located on the leftmost side of the first area of the second service widget. Locations of the two service options are the same.

It can be learned from the interface shown in FIG. 6C that the first service option is located at the third location in the first area of the second service widget from left to right. It can be learned from the interface shown in FIG. 5E that the first service option is not displayed in the first area of the first service widget.

In an optional embodiment, at least one service option is different in a plurality of service options included in the first service widget and a plurality of service options included in the second service widget.

With reference to the foregoing example of the first service widget and the second service widget, it can be learned that the first service widget and the second service widget each include a WeChat Scan icon, a WeChat Money icon, and an Alipay Pay/Collect icon. However, the first service widget includes an Alipay Scan icon, and the second service widget includes a Transport service icon. The two service icons are different.

In an optional embodiment, the plurality of service options included in the first service widget include a first service option, the first service option is different from the plurality of service options included in the second service widget, and a service corresponding to the first service option is the first target service.

The first service widget may be the interface shown in FIG. 6C, and a first service option included in the interface is the Transport service icon. The second service widget may be the interface shown in FIG. 7A(3), and the interface does not include the Transport service. In other words, the first service option and the second service option include a plurality of different service options, and the Transport service corresponding to the Transport service icon is a target service.

In an optional embodiment, the plurality of service options included in the second service widget include a second service option, the second service option is different from the plurality of service options included in the first service widget, and a service corresponding to the second service option is the second target service.

With reference to the example in which the second service widget is the interface shown in FIG. 7A(3), and the first service widget is the interface shown in FIG. 6C, an Alipay Scan icon included in the second service widget is different from the plurality of service icons included in the first service widget, and a service corresponding to the Alipay Scan icon included in the second service widget is the second target service.

In an optional embodiment, the service option includes one or more of the following services: a code scanning service, a payment service, a collection service, a check-in service, and a transport service.

It should be understood that the sixth operation may be an operation manner that is of returning to an upper-level application and that is preset by the electronic device, or another service widget exiting manner (for example, sliding up from a lower edge of the first service widget, or tapping a page outside a widget area, for example, a blank page or a blurred page) preset by a system.

In an optional embodiment, the first application includes an application that supports playback of video or audio content, and the electronic device keeps the first application playing a video or audio in the process in which the electronic device displays the first service widget.

Optionally, the first application may continue to be displayed below the first service widget based on a default manner, for example, resuming playback, terminating playback, pausing playback, or muting, of the system.

Optionally, a blurring operation may be performed on the currently running first application when the first service widget is displayed, so that the first service widget is displayed above a blurred layer, or the first service widget is directly displayed on the currently running application, and some pages that cannot be covered by the first service widget can be normally displayed.

Optionally, the first service widget may completely cover a display page of the first application. In this case, the first application switches to the background for running, and the first service widget runs in the foreground. When exiting the first service widget, the electronic device switches the first application to the foreground to continue running. It should be understood that back-and-forth switching may be performed between the foregoing two display manners of the first service widget. For example, the first service widget may be switched back and forth between full-screen display and non-full-screen display.

In this embodiment of this application, when the electronic device receives the first operation, if there is a running application in the foreground, the electronic device displays the first service widget on the currently running application without interrupting the currently running application. In addition, when the electronic device exits a first page, the electronic device may switch the application to the foreground for running, so that after completing using a service provided by the service widget, the user may not need to enable the previous application again, thereby improving user experience.

In an optional embodiment, in the first state, the electronic device is in any one of the following states: a screen-off state, a screen-on locked state, and a screen-on unlocked state.
