This patent mainly shows the mobile phone interface design for the surround screen. It shows the music player, camera, weather, and quick operation interface. According to the patent information, the front, back, left, and right sides of the phone are screens. The system notification message icon pops-up on the left side of the phone while the system shortcut switch icon is on the right side.
