Abstract

The present invention discloses an information processing method and an electronic device, where the electronic device has a display unit, status bar information is displayed on the display unit, and a display area of the status bar information is a first display area of the display unit, and the method includes: obtaining an input operation on the first display area; when the input operation is a first input operation, displaying a first notification interface on the display unit in response to the first input operation, wherein the first notification interface includes only prompt information; and when the input operation is a second input operation, displaying a second setting interface on the display unit in response to the second input operation, wherein the second setting interface includes only M application icons, and M is an integer no less than 1.

Claims

1. An information processing method, applicable to an electronic device having a display unit, wherein status bar information is displayed on the display unit, and a display area of the status bar information is a first display area of the display unit, and the method comprises:

obtaining an input operation on the first display area;

when the input operation is a first input operation, displaying a first notification interface on the display unit in response to the first input operation, wherein the first notification interface includes only prompt information; and

when the input operation is a second input operation, displaying a second setting interface on the display unit in response to the second input operation, wherein the second setting interface includes only M application icons, and M is an integer no less than 1.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein when the input operation is the first input operation, the displaying the first notification interface on the display unit in response to the first input operation comprises:

when the input operation is the first input operation on a first part display area of the first display area, displaying the first notification interface including system notification information on the display unit in response to the first input operation.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein after the first notification interface including the system notification information is displayed on the display unit, the method further comprises:

obtaining a first switching operation on the first notification interface; and

adjusting the display interface of the display unit from the first notification interface to the second setting interface in response to the first switching operation.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein when the input operation is the second input operation, the displaying the second setting interface on the display unit in response to the second input operation comprises:

when the input operation is the second input operation on a second part display area of the first display area, displaying the second setting interface on the display unit in response to the second input operation, wherein the second part display area is an area different from the first part display area.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein after the second setting interface is displayed on the display unit, the method further comprises:

obtaining a second switching operation on the second setting interface; and

adjusting the display interface of the display unit from the second setting interface to the first notification interface in response to the second switching operation.

6. The method according to claim 4, wherein when the second setting interface is displayed on the display unit, the method further comprises:

obtaining a first operation on a first application icon of the M application icons; and

displaying a setting interface of a first application corresponding to the first application icon on the display unit in response to the first operation.

7. An electronic device, comprising:

a circuit board;

a display unit, electrically connected with the circuit board, configured to display status bar information, wherein the display area of the status bar information is a first display area of the display unit; and

a processing chip, arranged on the circuit board, configured to obtain an input operation on the first display area, when the input operation is a first input operation, to display a first notification interface on the display unit in response to the first input operation, wherein the first notification interface includes only prompt information, and when the input operation is a second input operation, to display a second setting interface on the display unit in response to the second input operation, wherein the second setting interface includes only M application icons, and M is an integer no less than 1.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the processing chip comprises a first obtaining unit configured, when the input operation is the first input operation on a first part display area of the first display area, to display the first notification interface including system notification information on the display unit in response to the first input operation.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8, wherein the processing chip comprises a first switching unit configured, after the first notification interface including the system notification information is displayed on the display unit, to obtain a first switching operation on the first notification interface and to adjust the display interface of the display unit from the first notification interface to the second setting interface in response to the first switching operation.

10. The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the processing chip comprises a second obtaining unit configured, when the input operation is the second input operation on a second part display area of the first display area, to display the second setting interface on the display unit in response to the second input operation, wherein the second part display area is an area different from the first part display area.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the processing chip comprises a second switching unit configured, after the second setting interface is displayed on the display unit, to obtain a second switching operation on the second setting interface and to adjust the display interface of the display unit from the second setting interface to the first notification interface in response to the second switching operation.

12. The electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the processing chip comprises a first processing unit configured, when the second setting interface is displayed on the display unit, to obtain a first operation on a first application icon of the M application icons and to display a setting interface of a first application corresponding to the first application icon on the display unit in response to the first operation.
