Abstract

A method for controlling interface display includes: detecting an operation status of a first communication terminal; detecting a first event, in a case that the operation status of the first communication terminal is a first status in which there is a request for a communication connection between the first communication terminal and a second communication terminal; determining whether the first event associated with a communication status between the first communication terminal and second communication terminal conforms to a predetermined trigger condition; controlling a display of a scenario interface corresponding to the predetermined trigger condition according to a predetermined corresponding relation between the trigger condition and the scenario interface if it is determined that the first event conforms to the trigger condition.

a status in which the second communication terminal triggers to refuse the request for establishing the communication connection;

a status in which a network communication device triggers to disconnect the request for the communication connection.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein in a case that the status in which the communication connection fails to be established between the first and the second communication terminals is the status in which the first communication terminal triggers to give up the request for establishing the communication connection or the status in which the network communication device triggers to disconnect the request for the communication connection, controlling the display of the scenario interface corresponding to the trigger condition according to the predetermined corresponding relation between the trigger condition and the scenario interface comprises:

controlling a display of a second scenario interface which is a dialing interface, an address book interface, a communication history interface or any combination thereof.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein in a case that the status in which the communication connection fails to be established between the first and the second communication terminals is the status in which the second communication terminal triggers to refuse the request for establishing the communication connection, controlling the display of the scenario interface corresponding to the trigger condition according to the predetermined corresponding relation between the trigger condition and the scenario interface comprises:

controlling a display of a third scenario interface which is a short message editing interface, a mail editing interface or an instant communication software interface.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the status in which there is the request for the communication connection between the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal comprises:

a status in which the first communication terminal receives a request for establishing the communication connection initiated by the second communication terminal.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein in a case that the communication status between the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal is a status in which the first communication terminal rejects the request for establishing the communication connection initiated by the second communication terminal, controlling the display of the scenario interface corresponding to the trigger condition according to the predetermined corresponding relation between the trigger condition and the scenario interface comprises:

controlling a display of a predetermined fourth scenario interface and performing a second operation.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the performing the second operation comprises:

accepting a selecting operation of a subscriber, and sending a short message with a content corresponding to the selecting operation of the subscriber to the second communication terminal;

or

sending a short message with a predetermined content to the second communication terminal.

11. The method according to claim 1, further comprising, after it is determined that the first event conforms to the predetermined trigger condition, and before controlling a display of a scenario interface corresponding to the predetermined trigger condition according to a predetermined corresponding relation between the trigger condition and the scenario interface:

determining the scenario interface to be displayed further according to auxiliary information.
