Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display method and a terminal device. The method includes detecting the state of the terminal device and displaying a first content on the display unit according to the first display command; producing a second display command when it is detected that the terminal devices is in the second state and displaying a second content on the display unit according to the second display command; wherein objects included in the first content and objects included in the second content are not exactly the same. The embodiments of the present disclosure produce different display commands according to the detected different states of the terminal device, and contents not exactly the same through the display unit, realizing that the terminal device displays different contents in different states, which improves the user'"'"'s operation and experience.

Claims

1. A display method applied to a terminal device, and the terminal device comprising a display unit, wherein the terminal device comprises at least a first state and a second state being differ from the first state, the method comprises:

detecting a state of the terminal device;

producing a first display command when it is detected that the terminal device is in the first state, and displaying a first content on the display unit according to the first display command;

producing a second display command when it is detected that the terminal device is in the second state, and displaying a second content on the display unit according to the second display command;

wherein objects included in the first content and objects in the second content are not exactly the same.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the terminal device further comprises a spatial position sensing unit, and the method further comprises the spatial position sensing unit of the terminal device acquires spatial position information of the terminal device, and determines whether the terminal device is in the first state or in the second state according to the spatial position information.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the terminal device further comprises an image acquiring unit, and the method further comprises the image acquiring unit of the terminal device acquires image information nearby the terminal device, and determines whether the terminal device is in the first state or in the second state according to the image information.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the objects included in the first content or the second content displayed on the display unit are in a forward direction relative to a user.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the display command comprises a display object, a display position of the display object and a direction of the display object.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the first content comprises a first object and a second object;

the second content comprises the first object and a third object, wherein the second object and the third object are different.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein a display position of the first object is in a first region of the display unit, and a display position of the second object or the third object is in a second region of the display unit.

8. A terminal device, wherein the terminal device comprises at least a first state and a second state being differ from the first state, the terminal device comprises:

a storing unit used for storing a first content and a second content of the terminal device, wherein objects included in the first content and objects included in the second content are not exactly the same;

a detecting unit used for detecting a state of the terminal device;

a processing unit used for producing a first display command when the detecting unit detects that the terminal device is in the first state, or producing a second display command when the detecting unit detects that the terminal device is in the second state;

a display unit for displaying the first content stored in the storing unit according to the first display command produced by the processing unit, or displaying the second content stored in the storing unit according to the second display command produced by the processing unit.

9. The terminal device according to claim 8, wherein the terminal device further comprises a spatial position sensing unit for acquiring spatial position information of the terminal device, determining whether the terminal device is in the first state or in the second state according to the spatial position information, and notifying the determined state to the detecting unit.

10. The terminal device according to claim 8, wherein the terminal device further comprises an image acquiring unit for acquiring image information nearby the terminal device, determining whether the terminal device is in the first state or in the second state according to the image information, and notifying the determined state to the detecting unit.

11. The terminal device according to claim 8, wherein objects included in the first content or the second content displayed on the display unit are in a forward direction relative to a user.

12. The terminal device according to claim 11, wherein

the first content displayed on the display unit comprises a first object and a second object;

the second content displayed on the display unit comprises the first object and a third object;

wherein the second object and the third object are different.

13. The terminal device according to claim 12, wherein a display position of the first object displayed on the display unit is in a first region of the display unit, and a display position of the second object or the third object is in a second region of the display unit.

14. The terminal device according to claim 13, wherein the second region displayed on the display unit is an edge region if the first region displayed on the display unit is a central region;

or the second region displayed on the display unit is a central region if the first region displayed on the display unit is an edge region.
