Display Method and Apparatus

Abstract

A display method includes a first terminal connecting to a second terminal and obtaining a first gesture made by a user on a target shortcut in a first display interface, where the first display interface is an interface presented on the first terminal, and where target content corresponding to the target shortcut is not running in a foreground of the first terminal. Then, the first terminal sends first display data to the second terminal based on the first gesture, so that the second terminal displays the first display data in a second display interface, where the first display data is data correlated with the target content, and where the second display interface is an interface presented on the second terminal.

         7 . The display method of  claim 4 , wherein after obtaining the first gesture, the display method further comprises:
 obtaining a device running status of the first terminal, wherein the device running status comprises at least one of a battery level, a network quality, a memory size, or a central processing unit (CPU) usage of the first terminal; and   identifying that the device running status does not support displaying the content correlated with the first shortcut in the first display interface.   
     
     
         8 . The display method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 identifying that a first application is running in a foreground of the first terminal;   obtaining a first gesture on a first interface of the first application displayed in the first display interface;   sending, in response to the first gesture, second display data to the second terminal, wherein the second display data instructs the second terminal to display content correlated with the first application; and   ceasing to display the first interface in the first display interface.   
     
     
         9 . The display method of  claim 8 , wherein the second display data indicates the first interface is displayed when the first application is running. 
     
     
         10 . The display method of  claim 9 , wherein when the first application is a video type application, first video playback progress displayed in the first display interface is the same as second video playback progress displayed in the second display interface, when the first application is an instant messaging type application, a first chat record in a first chat window in the first display interface is the same as a second chat record in a second chat window in the second display interface, or when the first application is a game type application, a first game system interface displayed in the first display interface is the same as a second game system interface displayed in the second display interface. 
     
     
         11 . A terminal, comprising:
